"My name is Moises The Hedgehog, and this is the story of..well how it all began for me really, this is gonna be quite the story so buckle up as I help narrate through the story of how I became the hedgehog I am today and..how I got so many enemies who want my hedgehog carcass on a silver plate with a side of fries"
~On an island on the north side of Mobius~
*At a small town a delivery guy is having trouble carrying fruit in his crate and he almost trips and drops the crate but someone comes in for the save and helps the delivery guy carry the crate*
Delivery Guy
"W-What the?, who's there?"
?
"Don't mind me sir, just making sure your fruit makes it to the store, we might wanna hurry, my arms are startin to give out hehe"
Delivery Guy
"O-Ok, good idea"
*? and the Delivery Guy both carry the crate to the store and they successfully place it where it should be and the Delivery Guy now gets a good look at the face of the person who helped him, who just happens to be a little black hedgehog wearing red and blue*
Delivery Guy
"Hey, your just a hedgehog, I didn't quite get a good look at you, anyways thanks for helping me out, here, have a banana since you were so generous for helping me out back there"*He says tossing the hedgehog the banana*
?
*He catches the banana and smiles*"Wow!, thanks mister!, it was my pleasure helping you!, my name's Moises The Hedgehog by the way just so ya know"*He says in a joyful tone*
Delivery Guy
"I'll try to remember that, see you around kiddo!"*He says waving Moises goodbye before driving off*
Moises
"Bye!"*He waves him goodbye and eats the banana and walks around the town*"Free food sure tastes better than food you pay for"*He says in a cheery tone*
"This adorable little fellow right here is Moises The Hedgehog, AKA me, though, that's me 5 years ago, back when I didn't wear pants, but you probably noticed that my fur is black not red, there's a good reason for that, anyways I saved some fruit from being victims of the 5 second rule, what will happen next, let's just say that on that day, fate struck me in the face"
*While walking around the town the wind started blowing and before taking another bite of the banana, Moises is hit in the face by a piece of paper*
"Literally.."
Moises
"Agh!, paper is attacking me!, I knew this would happen!, nobody at school listened to me!, now we're gonna get some major paper cuts and..hold on.."*He takes the paper off his face*"Oh wait..it's just regular paper, hehe false alarm everybody, wonder what this paper says anyways since it's so inclined to grab my attention"*He starts reading the paper*
Moises
"New creation?, at Metropolis!, this is so cool!, I've always wanted to go there!, I bet it's bigger than this whole island!, ohhh man I can't wait, yes yes yes!"
*Later at Moises's house during lunch time, Moises sits with his mom and dad at the table eating a chili dog*
Mom
"No"
Moises
"Aww c'mon mom!, please let me go!, we've never gone to the city before, and I really wanna go, the island ferry leaves in an hour and I'm runnin outta time"
Mom
"Sweetie, do you have any idea what dangers the big city has, there's things there you perhaps don't want to see..tell him honey"
Dad
*He puts the newspaper down and an elderly white haired hedgehog with glasses and a brown jacket looks at Moises*"Son, the big city is a big and adventurous place, filled with things you've never seen before as far as the eye can see, everyone wants to go and they have the thrill of a lifetime ahahaha!"
Mom
"Raphael now your just encouraging him to go even more.."*She says palming her face*
Moises
"See mom, dad gets it, I promise I won't get into any trouble"
Dad
"Let the kid go honey, he's my son after all, and my family's well known for being resourceful when the going gets rough"
Mom
"But..he.."*She sighs*"Do you promise you won't get into trouble..and that you'll come back as soon as this event your going to ends.."
Moises
"Of course mom"
Mom
"Alright..then you can go.."
Moises
"Woohoo!"*He happily finishes his chili dog and hugs his mom and dad*"I promise I won't get into trouble, oh man I finally get to go to the city, this is gonna be great!"*He says running outside*
Mom
"Refusing to give up, always looking for adventure, I swear he must get it from your side of the family dear"
Dad
"He gets the not giving up part from you honey, I'm sure he'll be fine"
"My mom was a hard person to convince, but I somehow managed to do the impossible, ok lemme explain, me and my folks live on this awesome place called Paradise Island, it has a town, houses, carnivals, lakes, you name it, but I've always wanted to go on an adventure somewhere else, and this was finally my chance, yeah I was an energetic little snowflake"
*After lunch Moises excitedly runs to the ferry, and then it takes off, Moises looks outside sees that the boat is moving fast and he already sees city from afar and his eyes sparkle*
Moises
"Wow..the big city, this is gonna be so fun, I can hardly wait!"
*An hour later the ferry finally arrives at the Metropolis docks, Moises jumped down the boat with excitement and he enters the main section of Metropolis, his eyes glistening like stars when he sees the tall buildings and multiple vehicles being driven while he's walking*
Moises
"This is the best day ever!, I wonder if they have any chili dogs around here, cause I'm starving, oh wait!, I can't forget why I'm here, the poster said to go east, hmm"*He looks at a clock and sees that it's 1:00 PM*"I've got an hour, but better early than ever!"*He says running east*
"I was already mesmerized by my surroundings, and I loved every minute of it, the buildings, the people and everything was so awesome to an island bumpkin like me, but that was just the beginning"
*Moises continued running east until he found a different looking building compared to the others he had seen while exploring Metropolis, he reads the building sign and it reads "Metropolis Research Center", he excitedly goes to enter inside until a hand blocks his way and he looks up to see that a security guard is blocking his way*
Moises
"Oh cool a security guard!, sorry, I was just on my way the Research Center, but your kinda blocking the way"
Security Guard
"You came for the special event happening today, then I'm gonna need to see your ticket"
Moises
"Ticket?, I don't have a ticket?"
Security Guard
"Only people with tickets can enter this facility, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave"
Moises
*His ears droop*"Oh..alright, sorry for botherin ya.."*He walks off and sits down on a nearby bench*"Just my luck, I was so close but no cigar..there has to be another way in"*He then sees a school bus and a bunch of middle schoolers walk out of the bus and then they wait in a line to go inside the Research Center*"Hmm?"
"This field trip is gonna be awesome!, I can't believe we get to see some cool new science event for free since we're on a field trip!"
Moises
*His ears instantly spike back up and he gets an idea*"Field trip people get in free, that gives me an idea!"
*Moises sneaks his way in the line pretending to blend in and just be one of the middle schoolers, they all enter the Research Center and Moises uses them as a cover to get past the security guard to enter the Research Center*
Moises
"Yes!, it worked, best day ever back on!"*He then looks around the laboratory and sees a lot of computers, contraptions and such*"So many gadgets and stuff, I feel like I'm in the movies!"
Security Guard
*He overhears Moises's voice and he turns around and sees him*"Hey!, I told you if you don't have a ticket, you can't enter this place"
Moises
*He shivers in fear*"Uh oh..I made a terrible mistake"
"Hey hold on a sec"
Moises and Security Guard
"Huh?"
*From the many middle schoolers one with black hair and glasses walks to them both*
?
"Sorry about this sir, he's with us, he couldn't get on the bus with us so his mom drove him here and must've gotten here before us, you shouldn't have gone in without us"
Moises
"Umm, y-yeah!, hehe, silly me, sorry mister security guard, I was just a little too excited, sorry about that hehe"*He says rubbing his quills nervously*
Security Guard
"Hmm..I suppose it's alright, just make sure to stay patient while the rest of your classmates show up ok kid"*He says leaving them both alone*
Moises
"Phew..that was close..I felt like looking into a monster's eyes..hey thanks a lot for helping me there, I'm just really excited since this is my first time in the city, my name's Moises The Hedgehog by the way, thanks for saving my tail"
?
"No problem, I had a feeling you weren't from these parts, my name's Yuji, are you here for the grand unveiling of the Research Center's biggest breakthrough?"
Moises
"Sure am, I wonder what it is, maybe it's a chili dog machine!"
Yuji
"Those already exist"
Moises
"Really!?"
"Yuji hurry up, the presentation is about to start, come here"
Yuji
"Right, coming teacher"*He looks at Moises*"Stay beside me so there's no more funny buisness"*He says leading the way*
Moises
"Got it!"*He says following Yuji*
*Both Moises and Yuji walk to the crowd of people looking at the stage and they stand at the front row and the lights turn off*
Moises
"Hey, who turned off the lights!?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming to you live from the Metropolis Research Center, we bring you the genius responsible for the scientific breakthrough you are about to see, put your hands together, for the prodigy himself, Dr Reeve Kean!"
*A single spotlight appears in the middle of the stage, and both Moises and Yuji start to hear footsteps and a man in a dark teal coat with spiky black hair and glasses appears and walks to the podium and they clap for him*
Moises
"Who's that Yuji?"
Yuji
"His name is Reeve Kean, he may look young but he's one of the top geniuses in all of Mobius, they gave him the nickname"The Prodigy", I'm curious to see what he created that was such a groundbreaker"
"People who know me probably know who this nutjob is, this is Dr Kean, why do I call him a nutjob you may ask?, well just listen to what he says next"
Dr Kean
"Thank you, thank you"*He breathes in and then he breathes out*"Fellow scientists and Mobians, I would like to welcome you all, to the unveiling of the future, for years, our city Metropolis and Mobius as a whole has been the victim of evil, crime and chaos, but through hard work and dedication to fighting for what's right, good always prevails, but today, it is my honor to show you all, the future of hard work, dedication, and fighting for what's right"
*Dr Kean takes out a switch from his pocket and he presses the red button and the hatch above them opens and from the hatch appears from above a stylized robot and the people clap for him, except for Moises who just looked at the robot with confusion*
Dr Kean
"Ladies and gentlemen, I..Dr Reeve Kean, present to you..the Swatbot 2.0!, a state of the art highly advanced mechanical soldier, with several different gadgets and fighting styles downloaded in it's systems, this mechanical marvel's design was based off an old army robot I discovered during my studies, and improved everything, now to give a demonstration on what the Swatbot 2.0 is capable of"
*Dr Kean presses the red button again and the Swatbot 2.0 activates and 3 targets appear and the Swatbot activates it's blaster and destroys the targets in less than a minute, causing the crowd to cheer*
Moises
"Talk about a Quick Draw McGraw, I barely saw those lasers coming!"*He says in a shocked tone*
Dr Kean
*He takes out a chart*"As you can see the Swatbot 2.0 is prepared for any situation, and when the time comes to mass-produce them, crime and evil will go down by as seen in this chart here..97%!"
Yuji
"That's amazing"
*The people cheer more but something begins to happen to the Swatbot 2.0, it begins to glitch out a bit and fires another laser, this time at the people and they start running away*!
"Dr Kean is this also part of the demonstration!?"
Dr Kean
"No!, something must've gone wrong in it's systems and it believes there are still threats in it's line of sight, everyone take cover while I resolve this issue!"
*The Swatbot continues firing lasers around the laboratory and the middle schoolers run away and take cover while Moises dashes off to take cover but the Swatbot sees him and blasts him, knocking over to a different room in the research center*
"That Swatbot 2.0 was no joke, Dr Kean didn't upload any emotions in that robot, so no doubt it was a killing machine with a few screws loose, but then it saw me and shot me point not so blank, it didn't shoot anywhere important but oh man was I scared, that was until I stumbled upon what would change my very being forever"
Moises
*He gets up and holds his head*"Ugh..getting blasted by a crazy robot was definitely not on my to do list.."*He takes a look around the room he was blasted into*"Looks like I'm safe here..question is..where exactly is here?, looks like one of those computer rooms I've heard so much about"*He then sees a red light in the distance*"What the heck?..what"s that?"
*Moises walked towards the red light and walked deeper into the room, and as he went deeper he saw that what was creating the glow was a red gem of some sort*
Moises
*His eyes sparkle*"Whoa...shiny.."*He says reaching for the gem*
"Hold it right there!, don't touch it!"
*Moises jumped in shock and he turned around with his arms in the air, only to see that the voice came from a young woman with blonde hair and a lab coat with a red outfit underneath*
Moises
*He blinks in confusion and puts his arms down*"Umm, I'm sorry miss, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to touch it, I just really like the color red as you can see from the shirt I'm wearing, I'm not a crazy robot I swear"
?
*She looks at Moises while adjusting her glasses*"Fascinating..I've never met a talking Erinaceus Europaeus before, are you an endangered species?"
Moises
"I'm no European lady, I'm Moises, Moises The Hedgehog, and I'm not an endangered species!"
?
"Oh hehe, my mistake, I've just never met a talking hedgehog before, this is all too new to me, pardon my curiosity, my name is Dr Alia Rose, it's a pleasure to meet you, I see you were another victim of what happened outside huh"
"Well like she said just now, this is Dr Alia Rose, now she may just look like a pretty face, which she is beyond the shadow of a doubt, but don't let her looks fool ya, she's as smart as she is pretty, so yeah really really smart"
Moises
"Yeah, that robot blew a fuse and it blasted all the way into this room with this weird gem in it, what is this thing anyways?"
Dr Rose
"That's a Chaos Emerald, it's an extremely powerful gem that I'm currently doing research on, I stored it inside this special container to make sure nothing bad happens to it, I learned that the Chaos Emerald has a dangerous energy stored inside it, which is why I told you not to touch it"
Moises
"Dangerous energy huh, must be some powerful stuff, maybe powerful enough to stop that crazy bot from destroying the lab and the city"*He says before leaning on the machine connected to the container, causing it to do something that shocks Dr Rose*
Dr Rose
"Oh no!, Moises hurry and get away!, the machine is going to overload!"
Moises
"Overload!?"
*The machine overloads and the Chaos Emerald glows intensely, and then an enormous blast of energy bursts from the machine, destroying the container while Moises takes the full brunt of the blast to protect Dr Rose, smoke then appears all over the room*
Dr Rose
*She coughs as the smoke clears and she looks around the room*"Moises?, hey, where did you go!?"
*As the smoke clears more she wipes her glasses to see that Moises is knocked out on the floor next to the container which no longer has the Chaos Emerald inside it and she walks to him*
Dr Rose
"Moises, Moises wake up!"
Moises
"Oh jeez..I feel really weird..hey Dr Rose..what just happened?.."*He says getting up*
Dr Rose
"Umm, I think the better question is what exactly happened to you"
Moises
"Wha?, what are ya talking about?, I'm the same as I've been when I got here, see"*He then looks in the mirror behind him to find that his appearance has changed, his skin color has changed slightly and more importantly his quills have changed greatly from pure black to pure red*"W-What the heck!, is that me!?, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I..I'M ALL RED!"*He says in utter shock*
Dr Rose
*She snaps her fingers*"Of course!, it's the energy I told you about earlier!, when the machine overloaded, it must've overloaded the emerald as well, causing that explosion, and since you took the full brunt of the blast, your body must've absorbed the energy into your cells thus altering your genetic make up!"
Moises
"Speak english!"
Dr Rose
"The emerald's energy is inside of you and that's why your fur changed from black to red!"
Moises
"Whoa..I have so many questions right now..."
*After Moises said that more lasers started to come from the Swatbot 2.0 and both Moises and Dr Rose look from the window to see that the Swatbot is going to attack the middle schoolers first, starting with Yuji, shocking Moises*
Moises
"Oh jeez!, I can't just stand here and watch this, I have to do something!"
Dr Rose
"Don't go, you'll get hurt or worse!"
Moises
"Well if I don't try something more people are gonna get hurt or worse, I promised my mom I wouldn't get into any trouble here, but it looks like the tables turned big time, I'm gonna teach that robot not to hurt my friends!"*Before he runs off he sees that his shoes are broken*"Oh no my sneakers, they must've been destroyed by the explosion, now what I am I gonna do"
Dr Rose
"Actually..I might have something that could prove useful"*She opens a cabinet in the room and she shows him a pair of modified blue sneakers with socks included*
Moises
"Oooh, those look super cool!"
Dr Rose
"These are lightweight friction-resistant power sneakers, I made them a long time ago when I was testing out a super speed chemical, don't ask..but anyways I don't need them anymore so these might suit you better, the fabric is indestructible and they're incredibly comfy and easy to wear"*She says handing Moises the sneakers*
Moises
*He excitedly puts them on*"Wow your right they are comfy, now it's time to save those innocent people from science"*He says running outside to where the robot is*
Dr Rose
"Good luck.."
~Meanwhile outside Dr Rose's room~
"This is out of control, surely Dr Kean would have stopped this thing by now, where could he be!?"
Moises
"Hey scrap heap!"
*The Swatbot turns around and sees Moises and points it's blaster at Moises while Moises just stands looking bravely at the Swatbot*
"Who is that, and why isn't he hiding!?, is he that brave or foolish!?"
Moises
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size, and stop randomly attacking these innocent people"
Swatbot 2.0
*It scans Moises and it's faulty systems confuse him for a criminal*"CRIMINAL DETECTED, THREAT LEVEL UNKNOWN, COMMENCING APPREHENSION, INITIATING COMBAT MODE"*It retracts the blaster and switches to a martial arts stance*
Yuji
*He looks at Moises and the Swatbot and adjusts his glasses*"Is that?.."
*The Swatbot runs at Moises and kicks him but as Moises looks at the it the kick appears less fast than it is and he dodges it, the Swatbot attacks again but Moises dodges it again and this time he punches the Swatbot in the center, knocking it down*!
"He's actually winning against the robot!"
Moises
"Whoa..I feel way different than I usually am!, I feel stronger and faster!"*He says dodging another one of the Swatbot's attacks and kicking it in the center again*!
Dr Kean
*He hurries back to the crowd holding a flash drive*"It's alright everyone I've returned with the flash drive containing the failsafe data on it, all I have to do is...what in the world!?"*He says when he sees the Swatbot losing against Moises*
Moises
"Not as tough as you thought you were huh scrap heap, then it's time for the good ol 1 2 punch!"*He punches the Swatbot one time*"1!"*He then defeats it with an even stronger punch*"2!"
*The Swatbot 2.0 glitches and glitches until it finally shuts down and falls down and the people come out and cheer for Moises, while Dr Kean looks at them all in shock*
Random Scientist #1
"Thank you so much for saving us little red one, you really did save us there"
Moises
"Aww shucks it was nothing"
Random Scientist #2
"And modest as well, how fantastic"
Dr Kean
"All of you!, wait!, this hedgehog didn't save you, all he managed to do is singlehandedly destroy what we all came here for!, and what I built!, weeks of hard work..destroyed!.."
Random Scientist #3
"No offense Dr Kean but your creation almost did try to destroy us, what good is a presentation if your viewers are vaporized"
Dr Kean
"Very well..I see that I was merely wasting my time with all of you..I will just take my creation and go.."*He says picking up the Swatbot 2.0 and walking off, not before he glares back at Moises with hidden rage*"I will remember you for this...hedgehog.."
Random Scientist #1
"Please, we'd like to ask you little one, who are you and why did you come to help us?"
Moises
"My name is Moises The Hedgehog, and I just did it because I wanted to watch this cool science thing with all you guys, but it's thanks to you all that I'm the hedgehog I am now"*He then sees from a nearby clock it's 4:00 PM*"Whoa!, it's that late already!?, I have to go back home!, it's been really fun you guys, I really really hope we can do this again sometimes!"*He says waving them goodbye and running off quickly to catch the ferry back on time*
~Meanwhile~
*In an unknown location Dr Kean sits down in a CEO-type chair and he talks with someone on the phone*
"Was the presentation successful doctor..?"
Dr Kean
"No..the Swatbot 2.0's systems were corrupted and it attacked the Research Center, and to make matters worse..it was defeated and overpowered..by a hedgehog with red fur.."
"A hedgehog?..it must've been a Mobian..only a Mobian would have that much power to do something like that..well anyways..move on to your next mission, your going to need a proper energy supply for your next big creation, do not dissapoint us*
Dr Kean
"Oh don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who dissapoints, I'll call you later when I have an important update.."*He hangs up*"Damn it...I think I figured out why Swatbot 2.0 went out of control..I couldn't find a strong enough energy source that could've operated it efficiently..but where can I find an energy source powerful enough to do the job right.."*He looks at his GPS and he finds Paradise Island on his map*"Hmm..interesting..I think I've found the perfect place ahahahaha!"
"And that's how it all happened, if it weren't for the opportunity of a lifetime, I wouldn't be the hedgehog I am today, with the Swatbot 2.0 defeated, and the people at the Research Center safe, I could rest happy knowing that I saved the day and went on an adventure too, I hope I can share more of my past adventures with you all next time, and I'll see you later, Moises The Hedgehog out!"
~The End~
