Hello, and welcome to my first fanfic. I plan to make this story enjoyable for all readers, and no matter how long it takes, it will get completed. To begin, I'm a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog and Legend of Zelda, and this fanfic has been in my head for so long I had to write. Any way, hope you enjoy the fanfic.

Disclaimer: Sonic the Hedgehog characters, locations, and references belong to SEGA and the Legend of Zelda is owned by Nintendo; I own the story… actually Nintendo owns the story, so I literally own nothing.

Chapter 1 – The Journey Begins

"In the vast, deep forest of Mobius… Long have I served as the guardian spirit… I am known as the Deku Tree." A young female pink hedgehog with slicked back quills wearing a dark green shirt with a matching skirt, brown boots, and white gloves is seen sleeping on a little bed on her belly side. "The children of the forest, the Knotholians, live here with me. Each Knotholian has his or her own guardian chao. However, there is one girl who does not have a chao." Said girl, the pink hedgehog, studdered a bit and turned to face the wall as she tried to sleep.

In the front of a castle, a drawbridge was lowering, revealing a bit of the inside showing some sort of market place. The young pink hedgehog was standing in front of the drawbridge, where she saw a white horse galloping as fast as it could out the castle. The pink hedgehog saw a glimpse of who was riding the horse: a young blue hedgehog in royal clothing being accompanied by a human. The pink hedgehog looked on as the white horse disappeared in the distance, until she heard something behind her. Turning around, she saw a pale skinned woman with firey red hair, deep and mysterious clear eyes, a few scars on her arms and had a black dress that was like a large shirt with dark armor covering her entire torso and her shins. The human woman wore a devious smile as she looked over at the pink hedgehog, who stood terrified of what will happen to her.

"Cory…Cory, where art thou? Come hither…" Said a voice, a tree with the face of an elderly man. A little blue creature with wings, stubby arms and legs, a tear-drop shaped head with a ball floating over its head appeared before the tree." Great Deku Tree, what is it?" Asked the creature." Oh, Cory the chao… Listen to my words, the words of the Deku Tree…"said the Deku Tree. "Dous thou sense it? The climate of evil descending upon this realm… Malevolent forces even now are mustering to attack our land of Mobius… For so long, the Knothole forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier, deterring outsiders and maintaining order of the world…" "Of course!" Said Cory. "But… before the tremendous evil power, even my power is as nothing…" Said the Great Deku Tree. "It seems the time has come for the girl without a chao to begin her journey…" Cory looked up at the Deku Tree, an almost surprised expression on his face. "do you mean-" "Yes, the youth whose destiny is to lead Mobius to the path of justice and truth…" said the Deku Tree. "Cory… go now! Find our young friend and guide her to me… I do not have much time left. Fly, Cory, fly! The fate of the forest, nay, the world depends upon thee."

Cory nodded and flew off through a passageway and passed through a purple hedgehog, entering the Knothole Forest. Cory passed by a yellow hedgehog sitting atop one of the buildings and said "Hello." Cory kept flying seeing more and more of the Knotholians, which were all hedgehogs. After flying around the majority of the forest, Cory saw a tree house; knowing he found his destination, he started to fly to it, but hit a fence, letting out an "Oof." After shaking off the quick shock, he slipped through the fence and went into the tree house.

Cory flew inside the tree house and went to the other side of the room to meet the pink hedgehog, who was still sleeping. "Hello Amy! Wake up! The Great Deku Tree wants to talk to you! Amy get up!" Cory exclaimed, Amy turned over on the bed, still sleeping and ignoring Cory. Cory started to get a little frustrated. "Hey! C'mon! Can mobius' destiny really depend on such a lazy girl?" Said Cory, flying frantically around Amy. Amy started to wake up due to the noise, she got up to stretch then saw Cory. "Oh, a chao." Said Amy as she sat on the edge of her bed. "You finally woke up! I'm Cory the chao! The Great Deku Tree asked me to be your partner from now on! Nice to meet you!" Said Cory. "Nice to meet you, too." Said Amy; instantly she remembered what said and looked to him with hopeful eyes. "Wait, I have my own chao now?" Asked Amy, to which Cory nodded to causing Amy to squeal. "This is the greatest thing to ever happen to me!" Exclaimed Amy. Cory flinched at the outburst but quickly recovered. "The Great Deku Tree has summoned you! So let's get going right now!" Said Cory, Amy nodded; getting off her bed and after getting the green pointed hat that was hanging near the door, she left her tree house.
