It was a normal day on the planet Mobius. But a not-so-normal hedgehog happened to live there. His name was Sonic, and on one day he happened to meet up with a friend of his.
Dashing around the planet at about six-hundred and sixty miles-per hour, a brown blur ran towards a large tower. After having ran up the wall, he jumped onto the windowsill and slid to a halt. After looking around, he called out "Hey Ovi, you here dude?"
Heaving heard him enter the room an address him, Ovi Kintobor turned around, saying "Ah, Sonic! Nice to see you again. Gotten any faster lately?"
"Ehh, not really, I think I hit my stride." Sonic said with a little smile across his face. Ovi nodded, a little disappointed "Well, even so. Never stop trying to better yourself." he said as he looked up nostalgically at a machine, a large, silver machine with six multicolored gems spread equidistant from each other.
Sonic smiled with a chuckle "Oh I'll keep trying, but I don't have enough room" Ovi popped out of his trance at those words, scratching his head "Well if you need more room, I've got an industrial treadmill you can use" Sonic eyes lit up as his mouth dropped open in awe "Really dude, no joke?"
Ovi smiled in happiness "I've been working on it for months. I only managed to run a few miles on it myself at relatively low speeds. You can stress-test it better. I was actually about to come see if you wanted to use it when you arrived" "Oooh, can I try it now?"Sonic asked as he bounced up and down hyper-actively. Ovi nodded in satisfaction and pointed towards the machine "It's right over there!" On his way over there, he picked up a piece of equipment and hooked it up to the treadmill. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you "Sonic said as he dashed onto it, leaving scorch-marks along the laboratory floor. He clocked 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600. No overheating yet. Ovi read off of his tablet the temperatures and speed of the treadmill "Wow, I amaze myself yet again with how durable my inventions are" Sonic grinned a toothy, maniacal gin "Hahaha, I'm gonna crank it up dude. " he said running faster, and faster, and faster. 700, 710, 720, 730, 740, 750, 760, and past 770. BAM!
After gliding to a halt, Sonic coughed as the smoke cleared, revealing quills that had fused together into vibrant blue blades. Ovi's eyes opened wide "Well, that's certainly odd. As soon as you surpassed the speed of sound you changed... Interesting. Very interesting..." Sonic looked down at his sneakers "My shoes melted" Sonic said, sounding a little sad. At that very moment, his Uncle Chuck wandered into the room "Sonic!" Sonic dashed over to him in a panic "Uncle, my shoes melted. I'm sorry that I wore them out so fast..." Chuck, not looking up said "I always knew you'd wear those old models out soon, that's why I made these new shoes for you. They're made of anti-friction, cooling material. They'll outlast the ground!" he looked "Sonny boy, what's happened to you?" Ovi shrugged in bewilderment "He was running on this new treadmill I built, and as soon as he broke the sound barrier he changed. A very odd thing indeed" he said as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I'm blue... I'm blue like you Uncle Chuck" Sonic said, as he looked himself over in a mirror. Chuck shrugged "Well, I can see that... I guess there's nothing to do about it. Like you said, I'm blue. Wanna try the shoes on?" Sonic's eyes lit up in glee "You have them with you?" Chuck put his clipboard in his backpack and pulled out the shoes "They'll grow with you, so I won't need to make another set anytime soon" "Thanks Uncle" Sonic said, as he pulled the shoes on in a flash, tightening the spats and buckling them. Chuck began explaining what made up the shoes with a glimmer of satisfaction "The buckles are a gold titanium alloy, the shoes themselves are made of unstable molecules." Chuck laughed as Sonic began stretching and running around the lab doing acrobatics "Let me take a picture, this is one for the books!" Sonic smiled and took a classic pose (A/N: Picture any Sonic pose you want him to have) Ovi turned to Charles "Well Chuck, I'm glad you're here. I was about to fire up my generator" Chuck looked at his friend in awe "You've gotten all six Chaos Emeralds?" Ovi smiled "It's taken me a year, but I found them all. From here on out we should have unlimited energy for all of Mobius!" "Um uncle what's that?" Sonic asked, scratching his head. Chuck crossed his arms and sat down to explain "Well, Ovi and I came up with this idea a long time ago about harnessing the unlimited energy of the Chaos Emeralds to power things. I went on to materials engineering and Ovi into mechanical engineering. I created the metals needed to keep the generator safe a long time ago, and Ovi engineered the machine itself. It'll be able to supply total power to the planet" Ovi nodded "I finished it a while ago, but it took me a while to find all the emeralds. Every once and a while I made something new to keep me occupied. With this we can have the energy to supply power to ozone-generators to fix the ozone-layer, or mass air scrubbers to remove pollution, and precision medical equipment as well. It's a massive project, and it's finally done" Sonic raised an eyebrow "Like my rings?" Chuck nodded "Like the rings, but without a limit on the power" "Hmm, okay then" Sonic said "You need any help getting it to work?" Ovi tapped his fingers on the table they were sitting at "I can't be certain, but I can always do with a few extra pairs of hands" Chuck stood up "Well I'd like to see our plan come to fruition. I'll stick around. Sonic?" Sonic grinned, giving his uncle a thumbs-up "Always up for a challenge!" Ovi stood up as well "I guess we should fire it up then!" He flicked a switch, tapped a button, and then pushed a lever all the way up.
Sonic, after having noticed Ovi rubbing his stomach, ran over to the fridge and grabbed a hard-boiled egg and a root-beer out of the fridge. After dashing back, he tapped Ovi on the knee. He turned to Sonic "Huh, you must be psychic, I was just about to get that myself!" He took the soda and egg from Sonic "Thank you!" Sonic snapped his fingers with a smile "No problem!" Ovi peeled the shell off the egg and took a bite, just as the machine hit full gear. Chaos sparks crackled around the lab, and Ovi faded out of existence, replaced by a fatter, taller, balder, and stranger man. Chuck shouted to Sonic in a panic "Sonic, shut off the machine!" Sonic nodded and began turning off the machine, flipping the switches that Ovi did in reverse. Chuck ran over to the Chaos emeralds to attempt to remove them, but they scattered across the lab in a flash of Chaos lightening, falling into starry portals. A stray bit of Chaos Lightening zapped Sonic, but he shook it off and flipped on one of the containment fields to keep the Chaos lightening from zapping anything else. The fat man raised his welding goggles to his forehead and slid on a pair of sunglasses on "My name... is Doctor Ivo Robotnik. You friend Ovi Kintobor shall never be seen again!"
A/N: In case you were wondering, seven-hundred and seventy miles-per hour is approximately Mach-1, the speed of sound.
