A Hero's true feat: A 'Secrets and Lies' re-write

Hi, my name is Sonic the Hedgehog, and I live on the planet called Earth. I'm a cobalt blue hedgehog that stands at 150 centimetres, with red sneakers that have a white strip that runs straight down the middle that is held together by a golden buckle. I can run faster than the speed of sound, and may or may not have saved the world a few times. I'm about to tell you a story that will not only test me, but the world as well…

I was busy chilling on the couch in Tails' living room, the house owner himself was busy building god-knows-what in his workshop. It was hot and I didn't want to waste my energy on a run, just in case Egghead decided to show his face.

I was currently watching the news, seeing as I had nothing better to do. It was mild stuff – newly named Secretary of State, Chun-nan's new food, Eggman's brand new space ship…

Wait, space ship?

"Tails!" I shouted out, better get going… the grease monkey appeared with dirt and grime entwined in his fur, good luck getting that off.

"What is it?" He asked, he was probably cranky because I stopped whatever he was doing. Priorities Tails, priorities!

"Egghead's what, look at the news." I pointed to the T.V and turned up the volume.

"Breaking news, Dr Eggman has being sighted, but in one of the worst spots imaginable – Outer Space, sources say they have no clue why he's there, but it can only end terrible. This is Scarlett Garcia, back to you." I turned it off and hopped up to stretch, I had being itching for a fight from good ol' baldy mcnosehair. He's being off the radar for a good while now, probably prepping for this, well, time to put a stop to it!

"Alright Sonic, I'll prep the Tornado." He finished and walked back to the workshop to start his beloved plane, the Tornado. Geez, its being through a lot. I walked into the garage and found him to be tinkering some more. Sigh.

"Tails! Priorities!" I shouted, I hopped onto the plane's wing and waited for the take-off, Tails, however was taking all the time in the world.

"Just… hold on… one sec…" He stuck his tongue out for extra concentration, then stood up abruptly holding out a small box with a screen on it. This was what he was working on? It looks like his Miles electric, but he already has one! Ugh.

Well, after four years Tails finally hopped into the pilot's seat and started nudging the plane forward, off to space!

"Alright Sonic! We're about to break the atmosphere!" Tails shouted over the wind and engine, it was great to feel the sensation of adrenaline begin to pump through my veins, I couldn't wait 'til I was up there fighting Egghead, my legs had being all jittery and were about to go crazy unless they kicked a robots head off.

"We've broken the barrier! Get ready to go!" Tails screamed, I gave him my signature thumbs-up and my trademark smirk. Let's do this!

"I'll see you in a bit, bud!" I jumped up and landed on the spaceships deck, I hoped Egghead could just see the ginormous smirk planted on my face. I squinted to see the fatso himself look at me with a confused expression, before turning into an angry one. He then pulled his arm back and flung it forward dramatically, probably yelling out a loud 'Fire!'

Time to get to work.

I started my sprint, and immediately a whole horde of robots charged their way into me. I curled up into my iconic spin-dash and knocked each and every one of them down like bowling pins. 1 to Me, 0 to Mcnosehair. The next horde was just as easy as the first, but instead of charging towards me, they fired rockets towards my direction. I simply dodged them and homing attacked them all, causing many deafening explosions behind me. This was a piece of cake, but it got my adrenaline really pumping. It was great, the feeling to be doing something meaningful. I ducked under a larger robot, well bigger than the others and slid underneath another pile of them. This was a piece of cake! That's when Egghead showed up, finally, and began using his mech to see if he could use it and 'destroy' me as he would put it. He shot a load of missiles at me, but I ran above the archway that was provided, I then began making my way through the never-ending hallway that Eggman for some reason put in. I looked back to see a metallic hand race towards me, I tried to dodge it , but ended up tripping and it caught me in a grip I just couldn't get out of. Its rope began rolling back to its owner and I could just see Egghead's triumphant grin.

He thought he got me.

The fatso was wrong, heh.

I closed my eyes and let the familiar feeling of Chaos Energy begin to pulse its way through my body. It's like being in a hot bath… I think, anyway, the Chaos Emeralds kinda went inside me, and I turned into my Super Form, the robot's hands tried to crush me, but my transformation triggered an explosion, and I began flying through the large mech.

"Uh-oh, time to go!" Eggman shrieked and began using his hovercraft egg-shaped thing and began speeding its way back to his original destination. I was kinda going after it, but I was too busy destroying the Doctor's pride and work. A ton of explosions began erupting, but I could care less as the care-free nature that was my super form was having too much of a good time destroying the ships. It was a blast, no pun intended.

After I finally finished having my fun exploding stuff (Insert 'cool guys don't look at explosions' music here) I began making my way to the, er, main control thingy, that totally didn't look like a dick. I thought Eggman had some restraint in his work, but no, I was wrong. I smashed my way through a wall, totally disregarding the fact that it was probably an air-tight facility, but meh. I came in and hovered just above the ground and found a panicking Egghead on the ground, sprawled on his knees, begging for mercy.

"P-Please Sonic, have mercy! I'll turn over a new leaf, I swear!" He shouted, guess I must have gotten the fat lard good.

"My-My, showing some remorse Eggman? If you played nice, I wouldn't have to break all your toys!" I said back, I was too busy basking in the fact that I may have finally gotten rid of the tyrannous Doctor, that I didn't notice the person in question himself slowly lifted up a button. He pressed said thing and these… posts of some sort popped up and began charging electrical pulses towards me, at least I think that's what they were. I started panicking and began zipping around the circle before they snagged me in a magnetic pull I couldn't get out of. Hey, Tails actually teaching me this stuff was useful! Ahem, anyway, I managed to finally let go of the Emeralds entrancing energy they gave me and reverted back to my usual form. I looked at the doctor with a look of 'what the heck are you doing?' type, but the Doctor was too busy gloating.

"Oh I've waited a long time for this!" He pressed another button that did god knows what. I didn't know it, but the very station I was in, the dick part of it anyway, began opening up, heh heh heh, and started charging a laser that would shoot its –quote un-quote- magic stuff into the very Earth. It finally shot it's, ahem, 'magic stuff' and slowly started surrounding the planet, breaking it into pieces.

That's when the pain hit.

And god, was it excruciating.

It was like having my whole body turned inside out, bones were snapping, things were growing all over the place.

My body began changing, first, the fur – my once cobalt fur began changing into a deeper blue, navy-like colour, my wrists and tips of my quills began changing into a white colour, not only was it changing colour, but it began growing into a more shaggier coat, then came the smaller changes, like the muzzle, the tail, the hands and shoes, my teeth grew more canine like, my tail lengthened and my muzzle became more wolf-like, my gloves ripped off to reveal a gigantic hand with killer claws, my shoes became cleats, with spikes at the bottom as well as three along the white strip on my shoe, the once golden buckle became a more metallic silver and my socks were now more ruffled at the back, next, came the muscles, this was the painful, and I mean painful, bit. What I'm guessing by the experience was they expanded in size, becoming stronger, to deliver the blows that you have once seen. To top it all off, once the transformation was done, I let out a deafening roar that could strike fear into any man's heart.

Let's just say the once sexy and good-looking hedgehog you knew just got a serious case of lycanthropy.

"It's just as the Gaia manuscripts foretold!" The Egg-shaped Doctor began going on and on about this so called Dark-Gaia nonsense while I was just turning around, but gave a small whimper seeing as the new experience was something I needed to get used to.

In all honesty, I don't think Egghead expected my new appearance.

"Why that's a good look for you, Sonic! Festive! So long, friend!" He gloated once again and pressed a button that opened the window that showed the magnificent view of Earth, I would have admired its new broken-apart beauty (sarcasm intended), but I was too busy clinging onto a small ledge for my dear life. I didn't want to become a Hedgehog/Hedgewolf/Werehog pancake!

The pull was too strong however, and I began my deadly descent down.

"Eeeeeeggmaaaaaan!" I shouted, I think I became of ball of flames, but that was all I could re-call before everything went black.

After Sonic had gone off to fight Eggman in outer-space, I returned back to my workshop to begin working on my new Miles Electric, it was going to be better than my others, it would only rely on a little chaos energy to find an actual Chaos Emerald, it could detect nearby enemies and the best part, it could track down my Tornado if it ever went missing! I grinned at my work and held it up proudly and admired it.

Knock, knock, knock.

Who could that be? I sadly put down my creation and stood up to answer the door, but that was before it was knocked down by none other than Amy Rose.

And stood behind her was a very frightened Knuckles.

Sigh.

"Geez, Amy!" I screamed at her, she looked at me, then the door, then at me, then the door, and so on and so forth. I could tell she had a look of guilt on her face, seeing as her patience is almost as little as Sonic.

"S-Sorry Tails!" She shrieked in her high-pitched voice, this girl worried me, a lot. I noticed she wasn't in her usual attire, not her red and white dress and red and white boots, but in something a bit more mature, a red tank top that had a big white rose on the front, a black shirt, black leggings, red flats, and her hair held a red rose.

"What's with the new get-up, Amy?" I asked her, it was strange for her to not have her usual dress on, she must be growing up, I guess.

"N-No reason!" She blurted back, I raised an eyebrow before turning my attention to Knuckles.

"Are you just gonna stand there like an idiot, or do you wanna come in?" I motioned my arms towards my living room, and all Knuckles did was nod before lowering his eyes at Amy and began walking inside.

"So, what do I owe the pleasure?" I asked them, they looked at me like I was an idiot before Amy shouted at the top of the lungs:

"You let Sonic go into space without telling me?!"

How did I know she'd say that?

I began getting out of reach of that deadly hammer of hers, and began to explain.

"Well yes, he was quite insistent, actually." I 'answered' for her. Her red face that was just about ready to blow up slowly turned back to its natural colour, she must have realised that Sonic was the real perpetrator, not myself. She did jump to conclusions quite quickly.

"Well let's go find him!" She said, or rather stated, seeing as she grabbed hold of me and Knuckles' wrists and began dragging us out the door.

"Where are we going, Amy?" I asked her, she can get rather scary at some points…

"We're going to go see Mr Gloom and Doom for some transport!"

X

"Argh…" I looked down to find myself encased in a green spherical force-field that was floating about 800 meters above the ground. That was a hardcore case of déjà vu for me.

So, gravity took its course, and its pull was going straight down.

So logically, I had to go straight down as well.

"Noooooo!" I face-planted hard. Like, I got my head stuck fully into the ground. I began twisting it out of the ground, with a high-pitched squeaking sound. I stood up and began looking around at my surroundings – I was next to a windmill, a very familiar windmill at that, I was definitely in Apotos, I could tell by the style of the building, some flowers, a purple Chihuahua with wings…

Wait, what was that last one?

I picked it up, and began shaking to see if it was awake.

"Hello?" I asked, it began stirring, murmuring things like "No… I can't… eat another bite…" It opened its eyes and immediately screamed and did the cartoon thingy where they start running but stay on the spot with that annoying sound. It scurried out of the way and hid behind a rock, god, what did I do now?

"Don't eat me! I taste bad!" It said, why would I eat it? I'm not a cannibal…

"Why would I eat you? But anyway, are you okay? Nothing broken?" I asked it, it did look like an idiot, but that was before it calmed down when it realised I wouldn't eat it.

"No reason! Thanks for asking, Mr Monster guy!" It said, Mr Monster guy…? Wow, that hurt, I thought my hedgehog good looks were fine… not terrifying in the least…

But that was before I looked down.

I widened my eyes in surprise before giving a low growl at the perpetrator who made me like this, the one, the only, Baldy McNosehair!

"Guess things have gotten uglier than before!" I stated, things indeed have gotten uglier, and I didn't like the fact that I had a serious case of lycanthropy… it's like Twilight and my universe having a cross-over…

Anyway, the Chihuahua began flying over towards me and inspected me, while I watched the sun begin to rise. Good grief, all I needed now was a cliff and I could be doing the 'looking off into the horizon' cliché thing.

Geez.

I watched it intently before a weird sensation could be felt, a more painful sensation anyway, and a purple mist came over me while the creature just stood there, staring… creepily…

After the mist dispersed, I looked down to find myself returned to my original self. Cobalt fur, shoes, gloves… wait, how do my gloves re-appear if they were torn off?

"Woah…" He said, I assumed it was a he anyway.

"My name's Sonic the Hedgehog, what's yours?" I asked him, he went into a deep, thoughtful expression before it turned into an anguished one.

"I don't know! I can't remember! It's like I- oof, I'm hungry…" It fell into the palm of my glove all lazily and everything, how can it be hungry in a time like this?!

"Hey dude, don't worry! I'll help you find your memory! Let's see if anyone in the near town knows you!" I just prayed that I wasn't the reason he lost his memory, after all, I did fall from space.

"Thanks Mr Monst- I mean, Sonic!" He said, and we began our trek to the town of Apotos!

"What do you want Rose?" Shadow asked, Mr Gloom and Doom was not happy to see us, and I couldn't blame him. Amy dragged Knuckles and I all the way over here, so I wasn't exactly happy with Amy either…

"You need to get us up into space to see if Sonic needs help!" She shrieked, her high pitched was unnaturally high today, and it was starting to get on my nerves.

"No, not only can faker take care of himself, I don't want to help." He growled at us, okay, I did expect that from Shadow, but he seemed to have an extra taste of bitterness in his tone. Did the Ultimate Life Form get off the wrong side of the bed or something?

"Please, Shadow?" Amy asked.

"No." Was all he replied.

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

"Pretty please?"

"Fine!" He screamed at her, Amy gave a big "Thanks!" and hugged the ebony hedgehog. Taking a closer look, he looked like he was enjoying it… what?

"Okay, let's get going!" Amy shouted.

"Chaos… Control!"

We'd being looking around town for a couple of hours now, it was near dusk now, and not one person knew the memoryless Chihuahua.

"Sorry buddy, looks like no one around here knows you." I said to the Chihuahua pup. I really needed to give him a name… I turned to find the creature himself at the near-by ice-cream stand mouth-watering over the supreme sundae they had, it did look really good, I went over and found out that the vendor gave it to him for free, so using some of the rings I've collected over the many years I purchased one for myself.

"So, anything come back yet?" I said standing in front of him, my Hedgehog size was at least a couple of size taller than him, and I felt very… empowered, to say the least.

"No… mmm, this ice-cream is good!" He replied, I thought for a short while then something clicked in my brain.

"Hmm, guess we'll have to go and ask some other towns, what do you say Chip?" I asked him, I had finally givin' him a name, and it seemed most fitting. For two reasons, heh.

"Chip?" He asked.

"Well, I've gotta call you something, don't I? I asked him back.

"Yeah, Chip! I like that! Chip!" He said, he kept on saying the name to himself while I watched sunset go down, déjà vu again… I watched the street lights turn on one by one, and several houses turn on their lights.

That's when the familiar eerie purple mist came back.

As well as the pain.

I leaned forward in pain as the remoulding took place, the new coat, new muscles, shoes and hands… they all came back.

I stood back up with a slight whimper as Chip stared at me wide-eyed.

"Mr Monster Guy's back!" Chip shouted.

"So when the sun goes down… I turn into this?" I asked myself. Guess I'd better be careful of who sees me.

"Heh, better be careful then, I don't want to give anybody a heart-attack." I stated, it was true, my terrifying demeanour could scare the living crap out of children, and cause some screams from adults.

"Well then, how 'bout we go see my friends, I'm sure they'll have a solution to this!" I went to grab at Chip, but that was before he scurried towards the ice-cream stall once again, I eyed him before I turned to see the vendor, who's bright and chip aura was turned into a sad and depressing one, I also noticed that these strange purple tadpoles were floating above his head… what?

"It's all over, the world is doomed!" The vendor shouted, Chip was trying to comfort him, but wasn't having much luck.

"Hey, don't cry, here, have some more of this super-tasty stuff!" The vendor turned to face Chip before giving a short 'bah' and knocked the poor dog off, I went to catch the falling ice-cream, but then…

My arm stretched.

I looked down to see it was back to its normal size, before returning it back to its stand.

"Could be useful." I turned back to see the vendor still crying before shrugging at him, maybe he'll feel better in the morning.

"So, pests, why are you here?" Eggman asked us, after Shadow delivered us here we began making our way into the dick structure, Knuckles was laughing his ass off while Amy was blushing slightly, Sonic was nowhere to be seen, and there were no explosions going off.

"Where's my Sonic?" Amy asked summoning her magical deadly Piko Piko Hammer and began forwarding towards the large doctor.

"I flung him towards Earth, after that, I have no idea." He answered, strange, he'd usually send all his robots after us.

"Why aren't you sending out your robots after us?" I asked him, it was indeed… very suspicious.

"I'm too busy at the moment to deal with you, now leave, or I will make you." He diplomatically answered, I was a tiny bit scared, but that was deep down in my subconscious. I motioned for the others to leave with me.

"Chaos… Control!" Shadow said.

We appeared back in my living room, but we weren't the only ones there.

Sitting on my couch was a strange navy blue Hedgehog/Werewolf thing and a Purple Chihuahua Pup with wings.

"Why hello there." The navy creature said.

A/N: Hello there! I've decided to re-write this again, but I believe it was for the better!

I fail to see why Sonic has to be 3" 3, he's the same height as Mario who's probably around 5", so I've made it that Sonic stands at 150 cm, if you don't like it, then sorry.

I decided to have the first chapter have bits and pieces of Sonic Unleashed in it.

This is a new record of words for me, over 3500! I'm proud of myself!

And I will be deleting my other Sonic story.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and feel free to check out my other story: Normal to Abnormal – the Journey begins – a Puella Magi Madoka Magica story.

Good day!
