Like so many days before (and most likely after), Sonic sped down his
usual path while scouting. Hopefully Dr. Robotnik wont try anything stupid
today so he can enjoy a relaxing day off; he needed it.
CRASH!!
Sonic whirled around at the sound behind him. "What fell over?" he asked himself. All they needed at Knothole Village was more missing trees. Most likely Princess Sally will have them planting trees again.
"Great," he mumbled to himself. "Might as well check it out."
Speeding along, he noticed the birds weren't chirping anymore this morning. 'That's strange.' he thought to himself, 'They usually don't stop unless they're scared.'
And they had good reason to be.
Sonic skid around a corner to smack straight into a Swatbot, which then nabbed him. Sonic was still free enough to curl into his famous Sonic Spin to free himself completely of the hunk of junk. After landing, he looked up. Usually Swatbots don't travel alone, so where were the others?
After a good look around, he realized the clearing was completely empty of Swatbots, but he didn't realize that it wasn't empty of Robotniks before he was hit from behind.
Sonic could hear Dr. Robotnik laugh evilly while he felt his body tear apart. After a short while, everything went quiet, and he realized he had been screaming. Everything had faded so much he couldn't tell if his eyes were closed or if he had gone blind, but before he could find out, he lost consciousness.
He awoke to a forest around him. Birds were chirping, squirrels were dashing to and fro, but something was different. He didn't recognize the trees, or the birdcalls. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
His head throbbed. He curled over onto his side and gripped his head, groaning silently and praying he friends were nearby. Maybe they could explain this. But, then again, he was still trying to figure out why he was still alive.
There was something furry on his head. Trying to figure out what it was in his mind, he tried to remove it from his head, thinking it was a hat. All he got was a shock of pain racing through his already throbbing skull.
"YEEOOW!"
Something peered at him through the bushes. It was a being, similar to Robotinik's shape but not fat, or grotesque. Actually, when Sonic thought about it, this being looked kind of cute.
"Are you okay, sir?" it asked.
"Yeah," Sonic replied. "Just got shot by a laser or something and then almost bashed my brains out."
The kid giggled as if he was joking. "You're funny," the kid said. "Why don't you come with me and have a picnic with my mom and brother. They'd like to meet you!"
Sonic sat up and shrugged. Why not? He was hungry. Sally didn't let him eat breakfast before his morning scout routines.
The kid looked up at him while they were walking. "What's your name?" he asked, "Mine's Cody."
Sonic smiled, even though he was surprised he was taller than the kid while standing. "The name's Sonic. Nice to meet you, Cody."
"But Sonic is a game character. And a blue hedgehog. You're a human."
Sonic stopped dead in his tracks. Looking over himself, he found he had on a white t-shirt, blue jeans, a belt, and red sneakers, but he was, in truth, a human.
Cody walked back over to Sonic and tugged his arm. "Mom and Carl are waiting!" he protested.
Sonic just nodded and followed. Was he dreaming? He couldn't. The pain in his head was too real.
More importantly, how was he going to get home?
To Be Continued.
