ORIGINS
SONIC RUNS AROUND AT SUPER SPEED DOING TRICKS WHILE HIS OLDER BROTHER MANIC WATCHES
Sonic: Sweet! Thanks Manic! These new shoes are awesome! They make me move WAY fast!
Manic: Glad you like them, wear them enough and you won't even NEED the shoes to run fast.
Sonic: Ha ha! I can pick my nose so fast you can't even see it…
Manic: Cute…
SONIC JUMPS AROUND THE PLACE BEFORE LANDING IN LAKE
SONIC SPLASHES ABOUT WILDLY
Sonic: Ahhhhh! Manic help me! I'm going under!
MANIC QUICKLY DIVES INTO THE LAKE AND GRABS SONIC BEFORE SWIMMING BACK TO THE SIDE OF THE LAKE
Sonic: (shivering) Thanks…it was cold in there…oh no my shoes!
SONIC LOOKS DOWN AT HIS SHOES ONLY TO SEE THAT THEY STILL LOOK AS GOOD AS NEW
Manic: Don't worry about them, they're made to last years and remain spotless, they even grow to match your foot size apparently
Sonic: Really? Cool!
Manic: Seriously, your eight and you STILL can't swim…
Sonic: Not my fault! I've probably got that thing that humans call…erm…aca…no…eqa
Manic: Aqua phobia, I doubt you've got it, no it's just a simple case of-
MANIC AND SONIC HEAR AN EXPLOSION
1 ONE YEAR LATER
SONIC WAKES UP FROM THE DREAM ONLY TO FIND HIMSELF IN HIS BIBPLANE, FALLING TO THE SURFACE
Sonic: Uh oh, not again!
SONIC AWKWARDLY MANOUVERS THE PLANEAND MAKES A CRASH LANDING, THE PROPELLER SHATTERS AND ONE OFF THE WINGS BREAK IN HALF BEFORE THE PLANE GRINDS TO A HALT
Sonic: (climbing out of the plane covered in bruises) Well that could've…gone better, where am I?
SONIC SPIN DASHES UP A HILL AND TAKES A LOOK AT A VIEW OF THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE WHICH SHOWS A LUSH GREEN LANDSCAPE WITH THE OCCASIONAL SETTLEMENT ON THE HORRIZON
Sonic: Wow…West Island…
(Title sequence SONIC BOOM)
LATER THAT MORNING
Chuck: Enough screwing around Miles, what's in the box?
TAILS HOLDS THE SMALL BOX TIGHTLY
Tails: Please just leave me alone! It's MINE!
Beck: Let us see or we'll tie your tails together and hang you on the tree branch like LAST time you forgot your place!
Tails: What? But last time you did that to me I nearly starved to death before someone found me!
Chuck: Well if you had one tail like a NORMAL kid you wouldn't have to worry about that, you mutant freak, give me that!
CHUCK GRABS THE BOX AND VIOLENTLY FORCES IT OUT OF TAILS'S ARMS AND BEGINS TO RUN OFF WITH BECK
Tails: No! Give it back! (Begins to cry) Please!
Sonic: Hey! You two! What the hell's your problem?
CHUCK, BECK AND TAILS LOOK TOWARDS SONIC WHO'S LEANING ON A TREE
Beck: I dunno, what's YOUR problem?
Sonic: I've got two, and I'm starring right at them
Beck: Well what're YOU going to do about-?
SONIC ZIPPS TOWARDS CHUCK, GRABS THE BOX AND ZIPPS NEXT TO TAILS
Sonic: I'm giving you to the count of three…two
Chuck: I'm out of here!
Beck: Hey wait up! Don't leave me with him!
CHUCK AND BECK RUN AWAY, TERRIFIED BEFORE SONIC HOLDS HIS FREE HAND OUT TO TAILS
Sonic: Need a hand?
Tails: Wow, you ACTUALLY helped me! Thank you so much!
TAILS TAKES SONIC'S HAND AND THE SONIC HELPS HIM UP, SONIC THEN GIVES TAILS THE BOX
Sonic: What do you mean?
Tails: Well…nobody's helped ME for a long time
Sonic: Why?
Tails: Well, at FIRST it was just because I have two tails, then it was because of my hobbies and now they just do it for kicks
Sonic: Oh, I'm…sorry
Tails: Sorry? You SAVED me from them! They take stuff from me all the time but I couldn't let them have THIS!
TAILS OPENS THE BOX TO REVEAL A RED DIAMOND LIKE STONE THAT GLOWED BRIGHTLY
Sonic: Whoa, what is it?
Tails: It's called a Chaos Emerald
Sonic: A what Emerald?
Tails: A Chaos Emerald, the legend is that there are seven of them scattered throughout the world, each of them holding incredible power and when all seven of them are brought together some kind of miracle is supposed to happen
Sonic: Geez…
Tails: It gets better! The legend also says that the people of west island used a chaos emerald a long time ago to do all kinds of incredible stuff, but they then started to abuse it's powers for evil and it was eventually lost, never to be seen again, so this isn't JUST a Chaos Emerald, it's the LOST Chaos Emerald of west island!
Sonic: Wow! Where'd you find it?
Tails: I didn't, it woke me up last night when it hit me on the head
Sonic: You seem to know an awful lot for…er…how old are you?
Tails: Five, I think…
Sonic: You think? Where are your parents?
Tails: Mom and Dad went to visit a friend in south island last year, they never came back
A TEAR GO'S DOWN TAILS EYE AND SONIC'S HEART DROPPED, KNOWING WHAT HAD PROBABLY HAPPENED TO THEM
Sonic: What's your name kid?
Tails: Miles Prower, but my friends used to call me Tails
SONIC GRINS
Sonic: I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog, if it makes you feel any more comfortable I never even KNEW my parents, heck…I don't even remember my last name…it's…er…Archie or something I don't know, why don't you stick with me?
Tails: What? REALLY?
Sonic: Of course! Do you think you can keep up?
Tails: No, but I'll do my best!
AND SO THE TWO BEGAN A FREINDSHIP THAT WOULD NOT JUST CHANGE THEIR OWN LIVES BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD AROUND THEM, THEIR NAMES WERE SONIC AND TAILS AND THIS IS WHERE THEIR STORY BEGAN
