I will never forget the day that everything changed.
*The sounds of footsteps running frantically on the dirt road fill the air.*
I knew that nothing after that day would be the same.
*A chunk of meteor hurls down at the earth below.*
Even after all this time, I could never imagined that it would all come back to haunt me years later.
"Wah...WAHHHH!" A girl screams for her life as a chaos filled meteor is about to impact with the earth, and take her down with it.
Perhaps I should explain.
5 years ago...
A young girl with long brunette hair runs down the stairs of a small suburban home, stopping to get her shoes on. "Mom, I'm heading to the park," The little girl said.
"Elizabeth, I want you to be careful out there today," Her mother, a beautiful woman that had close a resemblance to Elizabeth, standing behind the kitchen counter warned her.
"I will," The girl replied without a care as she finished tying her shoes.
"I'm serious. I've heard rumors that Dr. Eggman is in the city again. You should be really careful," Her mother added.
"Oh what about Eggman? He never really does anything that can't be stopped," Elizabeth asked as she turned to her mother.
"Oh nevermind. Say hi to your friends for me," She smiled.
"I will. See you later," She said as she exited the house.
Elizabeth was racing down the sidewalk with an excited smirk on her face. It was rare for her to get a chance to have time with her friends since her mom liked to keep her safe at home most of the time. For once, however, her mom let her have a chance to visit her friends at the park in the center of the city.
"My mom is such a worrywart sometimes...Even if Eggman is a problem, Sonic always seems to stop him," She said to herself as she ran closer to the city. But for a moment, she paused to think. "I wonder what Eggman is doing in the city, though?" She asked herself. "Oh well. I'd better hurry to the park. My friends are meeting me there," The girl hurried along the sidewalk heading into the city.
Elizabeth was looking forward to this for a long time. Her parents were very, very protective of her. As a result, she never really got to go anywhere. Her mother homeschooled her, and rarely let her out of the house. But despite the protection that she had, she never really had chances to be with other people. So now that she was on her way to meet her friends, she was overjoyed.
Inside the city they called Station Square, there was a park in the center of the city for the children to play in.
"Hey guys!" Elizabeth greeted.
"Lisa!" Her friend, Lily, greeted. Her hair was long and had a brown color to it. Lily was mostly quiet to others, but opens up around friends.
"Lisa! What took you so long?" A small boy with short blonde hair was a sweet boy, but was always impatient and never liked to wait.
"Sorry, Casey. I'm not the fastest walker when I get to town..." Lisa explained.
"Who cares? We're finally all together. What should we play?" A girl named Lily asked.
"How about we play knight of the land?" Casey asked.
"I don't want to play the princess again...who would play that evil pig?" Lily asked.
"I suggest we play hide and ghost seek," She suggested.
"I don't want to play a ghost again, Lily. Besides, we play that game too much..." Casey stated.
"I suppose you're right," She replied."What do you think, Lisa?" Lily asked.
"Hmm..." Lisa hummed in thought. "How about we play that game where you have to save the animals from the evil dr robotnik?" Lisa suggested.
"We don't have enough people..." Casey pointed out.
"True..." Lisa sighed.
"You're talking about that one with Sonic, right?" Lily asked.
"Yup. My mom told me that Dr Eggman is back in the city. I think we should hone our skills against him if we ever meet him on the streets!" Lisa said, making a determined look and holding her fist up.
"I'm kind of scared that he's back. What if he tries to flood the city again?" Lily feared.
"Eggman flooded the city?!" Casey asked in shock.
"You weren't here for that?" She asked.
"No, I was on vacation, remember?" He replied.
"Ohhh yeah...but still, you never heard about that story? Well, long story short, Eggman had some sort of scheme that involved this giant water monster. He fed chaos emeralds to it and it grew bigger and bigger, big enough to flood the city." Lily explained.
"I know Sonic will stop Eggman though. I'm calling it right now." Lisa stated determinedly.
"Sonic is a filthy traitor!" Another boy came up and bashed Sonic's name.
"Ugh...not Gary again..." Lily groaned as she facepalmed.
"Traitor? I reckon he saved our lives." Lisa protested as she folded her arms and glared at the boy.
"No way! I saw it on the news. Sonic is working with Eggman on some horrible plot!" The kid declared.
"Gary, it wasn't even that good of a camera shot. How do we know it was him?" Lily asked.
"Lily, you know this guy?" Lisa whispered.
"He's my cousin, but he talks before he thinks..." She whispered back.
"It was him. He stole that chaos emerald from the museum!" Gary snapped
"Sonic saved Station Square from that giant water monster two years ago," Lisa protested.
"Oh yeah? What about when he escaped that military plane yesterday?" Gary asked.
"Well did they have any real proof that it was really him?" Lisa asked.
"My father is a GUN agent! He told me that Sonic was the one who stole the emerald!" He stated.
"You're wrong! I know he couldn't do anything like that!" Lisa boldly stated.
"Yeah! How can you be sure it was him?" Casey asked.
"My father is a GUN agent! Are you saying he's a liar?!" Gary asked, getting in Lisa's face.
"Then I guess I am!" Lisa replied.
"Hrgh!" Gary threw his arms out and knocked Lisa on the ground.
"Ahh!" Lisa grunted as she fell.
"Lisa!" Lily cried as she ran to help her friend. "That was uncalled for, Gary!" Lily scolded.
"What's uncalled for is her calling my dad a liar! Sonic is guilty!" Gary yelled.
"He...He's not!" Lisa rose to her feet.
"And how are you gonna prove if either of us is wrong?" Gary asked, standing his ground. Lisa looked between Gary, Casey, and Lily.
"I...I'll just go ask him myself!" Lisa then started running off.
"Lisa!" Casey and Lilly called.
Day turned to night as Lisa was strolling through the forest.
"Grr...I'll show him! Sonic is innocent! He'd never do anything like that!" Lisa shouted.
She paused in a clearing of the forest. The clearing had a lake in the middle that glowed in the night.
"Sigh...I say that...but I haven't seen any of them..." Lisa sighed.
Lisa looked up to Sonic like an adoring fan. Despite the fact she was kept in her house most of the time, news from the outside never failed to reach her ears. When she heard of the battle in Station Square years ago, she was in shock for the most part, but also intrigued to learn of the hero who saved them from the monster. A blue hedgehog who went by the name of Sonic. She admired how he fought to save the lives of others and always did it with a smirk on his face. If anything, Sonic wasn't just a hero. He was Lisa's hero.
"Sigh...If only I were like Sonic. He explores the world without worry and fights for what is good..." Lisa said to herself as she looked up to the star-filled sky. "I wish...I wish I could do something like that..." She wished as she placed a hand to her heart, as if the stars could listen and watch.
Suddenly. the sound of an explosion filled the air. "What was that?!" Lisa asked in panic.
She turned her eyes to the sky to find that half of the moon had been destroyed, with some of the explosion still visible.
"What the-?!" She stammered. She stared up at the moon with fear and wonder. Half of the moon had been destroyed, blown to pieces, gone. The beauty of the moon had now been ruined by the explosion. "How...?" She asked herself.
Soon after she asked that, there was a glow from the smoke of the explosion. A blue glow then appeared as it entered the earth's atmosphere.
"What is that?!" She asked herself as she stared at the rock. The more she watched it, the chaos energy appeared to be a falling chunk of space rock from the moon.
"Oh no!" With fear taking over, Lisa started running, running faster then she'd ever ran before. "Huff...Puff...AHH!" She ran for her life, for fear of being hit. But unfortunately for her, she wasn't fast enough as the chunk of space rock neared the earth, closer and closer, until...
"Wahh!" Lisa was pinned to the ground by the chunk of space rock, in pain as the chaos energy from the blast surged throughout her body.
"Gyh...hrgh...ARRRGGGGHHHH!" Lisa then felt a sharp pain flow throughout her entire body. She felt a tingling feeling flow through her body as she was paralyzed on the ground.
As the energy reacted with her, she felt her consciousness slipping away.
"Must...hold on...gyh..."
"Hah...Hah..."
All was quiet in the night of that forest, save for the sound of heavy breaths.
Lisa felt pain ache throughout her entire body.
"What...happened?" She asked as she rose to her feet.
"What hit me?" She asked herself as she rubbed her head. "Huh?" Lisa paused as she didn't feel skin on her hand, but soft leather.
"Gloves?" She asked as she looked at her hands. The gloves were white leather. At the wrist of the gloves, there were two blue bracelet-like things wrapped around her arms.
Suddenly, blue flashes started to glow from the bracelets. "Huh? Argh..." Lisa bent over as she felt some sort of energy flow through her body. The feeling was there for a moment, but then settled down as the bracelets stopped glowing.
She opened her eyes and stared at them. "I don't remember wearing these..." She said as she touched the gloves with her hands.
"Huh?" As she inspected her hands, she saw something else on her arms. Instead of pale skin, there was orange fur on both of her arms, with some peeking out from under the gloves. "...F-F-Fur?!" She exclaimed as she stared in disbelief.
Lisa pressed her fingers against the orange fur. As she watched the fur on her arms, she felt something odd raise behind her. "What?"
Lisa turned her head and saw a long orange tail slithering behind her. "Okay...what the heck is that?!" She asked herself. "I have to take a closer look...where is that lake?!" She asked herself.
Lisa walked over to a pond in the middle of the clearing. The lake seemed to glow bright like lights in a hot tub. She leaned over to look at her reflection. In the reflection, there was no longer a human girl...but an orange mink with long orange quills facing down like hair. She has a purple shirt with a brown jacket and red scarf. She also had blue shorts with tall hiker boots on her feet.
"No way...I...This can't be happening to me..." Lisa panicked as she looked over her body in disbelief. "I can't be a mink...I'm a human!" She continued as fear and confusion raced through her mind.
"This has to be a dream...That's right, I'm just gonna wake up from this any mi-"
*WHOOSH*
Suddenly, whooshing noises filled the air. "Huh?! What was that noise!" Lisa faced up towards the sky. In the sky, a gigantic space station was starting to plummet towards earth.
"Now the space colony ark is plummeting down?! Oh no!" She cried.
Suddenly, two yellow glows in the sky were flying around the space colony ark. "Wait...now what are those things?" She asked as she watched the two glows fly around station square.
She watched the battle go down as the two yellow lights seemed to stop the space colony ark from crashing down.
"...What is going on up there?"
There was suddenly a chaos wave from the space colony ark. This chaos wave reacted with the glowing blue bracelets.
"Now what?!" She yelled.
The blue bracelets started to released chaos energy throughout Lisa's body.
"Hrgh!" She grunted in pain as she was transformed from an orange mink, to a human girl. She stared down and saw everything was back to normal...except the bracelets on her wrists. "..." She said nothing else as she stared at the bracelets on her wrists.
