Sonic was very special indeed. For one, he was a talking blue hedgehog. Second, if he wanted to he could take off at the speed of sound. Finally, he went out of his way to help the other citizens of Mobius. An average week to him involved stopping whatever evil plan his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, had cooked up this time. They have had many epic and awe inspiring battles in the past, and would probably have many more in the future, but the results have been, and might always be the same. Sonic coming out on top every single time. Some fights Sonic would want to forget, but many of these fights had lasting memories.
He's met many of his friends over the course of his issues with Eggman. His second encounter ever with the mad doctor, Sonic met possibly his best friend for life: a two tailed vulpin named Miles 'Tails' Prower. Their next encounter with Eggman, they fought and befriended one of the last echidn's, Knuckles. Sonic would then save a tiny planet, and would meet his #1 fan/stalker, a pink hedgehog named Amy Rose. New friends would join the list in the forms of Cream the Rabbit, The Chaoix Dective Agentcy, Rouge the Bat, and evern though he didnt want to be, Shadow The Hedgehog. They were more friendly rivals then full blown friends, but still friends none the less. The most recent mobian to be added to this list was a mysterious hedgehog from the future named Silver.
This was the blue blur's life on this planet, but he knew very little on what was going down on earth. Down here, somehow word of Sonic's adventures drifted it's way over to a video game company called SEGA. With interest well intended, they put his first adventure into video game form. Needless to say, it was a huge success. So more games followed, soon follwed by other forms of merchantdise, like shirts, toys, a few tv shows, and one movie. Practially anything that had Sonic's face on it was gold.
However, there were many...lets just call them dark times.
On Earth, the darkest year of all was 2006. The Sonic Franchise was on a roll...then one game nearly ruined it.
Back on Planet Mobius, Sonic was doing what he did best, and that would be running as best as he could. His destination was the workshop of his best friend Tails. Eariler Sonic had gotten this message on his voice machine for his phone.
"Hey Sonic! You gotta get to my workshop A.S.A.P! I dont know what this thing is, but you gotta see this! Call back if you get this message!" From the way he sounded, this was a very serious matter. A quick run, jump, ring trail, and a momentary stop at a chili dog stand later, the blue blur knocked on the work shop door.
"What took you so long?! You gotta see this!" Tails practically dragged Sonic. The blue hedgehog kept wondering what was so important.
"Where's the fire Tails?"
"I dont know about fire, but this..." The yellow kitsune stopped Sonic in front of a metal box sitting on a workbench.
"That's whats so important? A box?" Sonic wasnt impressed.
"It looks dull, but it simply fell out of the sky and landed in my yard!" Now he had Sonic's attention.
"Something from Eggman?"
"I dont Sonic, but the only problem is I cant get it to open!"Tails explained.
"Let me at it then. I can get it open." Sonic inspected the box closely. He discovered on the bottom were the words, "For Sonic, Shadow and Silver's eyes only."
"What do you make of this Tails?"
"Thats why I called you. Whatever it is was clearly ment for you." Sonic picked up a heavy duty crowbar, and went to work trying to pry it open. After fifteen minutes of trying this, Sonic was only able to force the bar in the box.
"Got any ideas?" Sonic asked. A lightbulb went off over Tails head.
"Here." Spinning his twin tails, the Kitsune lifted Sonic into the air.
"Bombs away! Tails let the hedgehog drop right on the crowbar, popping the top of the box off. With excitement and curiousity overcoming the two, they slowly peeked into the box and first saw a note.
"Lets see what we have here: To Sonic, Shadow and Silver: I am from another dumension parelell to yours. Your adventures have been wel documented here, and a whole franchise revolveing around you has been made. Wile most about you has turned out to be excellent, there has been times when something horrible appears. You will play a video game that almost ruined your reputation. All three of you need to be present, however you can each have one guess present. Truely yours: Mr. CHTH." While Sonic was busy reading off the note, Tails had pulled out a bulky, and heavy, machine with a whole lot of wires along with on remore controll. The word "Playstation 3" were etched along the top. One last item remained: A game disc case, just a bit smaller then a dvd case. The surprise was what was on it.
"Sonic, check this out." Tails held up the case labeled "Sonic The Hedgehog".The real Sonic snatched the case from the kitsunes ahnd and studied it intensely.
"I dont remember any of this ever happening!" He opened the case, allowing another note to fall out. Tails was the one to read it this time.
"Its a PS from the last note. Due to the events that happen in the game, time was reset to a certain point. While playing, your memory should return to you."Sonic looked inside the metal box, and found instructions on how to set the Playstation 3 up.
"Can you get this Tails? Im off to find Shadow and Silver." Sonic sped off out the door, while Tails went to work setting the system up. About thirty minutes later, Tails had not only the system running, but had slid six lazy boy chairs with cupholders into the guest room, and a table with food set up, just in case they got hungry. At the moment he was finishing up, Sonic burst through the front door, but he was no longer alone.
"Hey you found them!" Shadow looked like he was in his normal mood, while Silver had a look of confusion on his face.
"This better be good faker." The ebody hedgehog greeted in his normal way.
"Im with Shadow. Whats going on here Sonic?" Silver asked. Sonic pulled out the note meant for the three hedgehogs, and let the other two soak it in.
"So we have to play a game that invovles the three of us?" Silver asked.
"And said game is named after you?" Shadow asked annoyed.
"Hey I didnt know about any of this til now! Also you go get who you want to watch this with us." The blue blur stated.
"Who did you get?"
"He's already here!" Sonic said crashing into the chair next to Tails.
"Sweet! I get to stay!" The kitsune said excited. Shadow grunted, rolled his eyes, then teleported away using chaos control. Sonic let Silver borrow his chaos emerald so he could go get who he wanted.
"So, any guesses on who they went to get?" Sonic asked.
"Who knows? Knowing Silver, he'll go and get Blaze." A bright flash cut Tails off, and now standing in front of them were Shadow and his G.U.N partner Rouge.
"Did you have to bring her?" Sonic was still sore about the fact that the bat tried to break into his house for the chaos emerald.
"Aw, is a certain hedgie still grumpy?" Rouge teased.
"Could be worst Sonic."
"How can this be worst?" Sonic asked. His answer came in the form of another bright flash, followed by a well known squeal, and a pink blur giving Sonic her infamous bear hug.
"Sonic! This could count as our first date!" Amy Rose stated happily, while Sonic struggled for freedom from her hug. Tails and Silver were doubled over laughing.
"You had to bring her?!" Sonic yelled while Amy remained glued to her 'Boyfriend.'
"Blaze wasnt home, and Amy was the first person I could find." Silver said in his defense, once he was able to stop laughing. The blue blur was able to pry himself from Amy's hug, then raced to his chair, but groaned when Amy sat in the empty one next to him.
"Could we get this over with?" Shadow asked, clearly not wanting to be here.
"Yeah, I got places to go and jewels to 'borrow'" Rouge agreed with her partner. They sat in the two chairs next to Tails, while Silver sat in the last empty chair next to Amy. Sonic quickly slid the game disc into the sytem, and let it turn on.
"Well, if the note is correct, then this game is about us. Let's see if it's good or bad."
There you have it. This is actually a story I been wanting to put up for awhile. It's generally accepted that Sonic '06 is a horrible game. But not once have I seen a story where the characters themselves give their opinions. Here's the ammount of research I put into this: Watched BrainScratchComm's walkthrough, watched cobanermani456's walkthrough, read stories people have posted involving the game, read the game script, and is currently in the process of playing it myself. Now, this is a story that isnt high on my prioerty list, and its only gonna be a few chapters long. One each for Sonic, Silver, and Shadow episodes, and one for the last episode along with wrapping it up. If all goes well, this may or may not turn into a series. It all depends on what you want. So let me know how I handled the characters in this chapters, and if you have any questions, I will try to answer them next time.
