Sonic: A new world

K, for starters, anyone who read my last story probably knows that I intended to make a sequel to it. Well, as it turns out, I cut that plan off....even though I left a cliffhanger. I think I'll leave it just like that. This story won't have Female Tails (though Tails will be OLDER! I hate how young he is in the games), but one of the couples will be SonicXBlaze. I find it to be a pretty popular pairing, and I'm going to use it here. Please enjoy!

Chapter One: Your vacation just ended, Sonic!

"Finally, I get some rest and relaxation! Hoo, boy! I thought Eggman was never going to let me off the leash!" Sonic said to himself rather loudly. He sat on the beach of Emerald Ocean, gazing up into the sky with his cool shades on. Nothing there interrupted his silent rest, except for the occasional seagull flying above head. Everything was naturally tranquil around him, and there wasn't another soul in sight. This was because he chose a spot on the beach far away from the city it was near, Station Square. The city itself was only one section of a giant metropolis swarming with people, and a few of his old friends as well.

However, things weren't going to turn out quite the way he had hoped. Even as he sat there on the beach, wearing red swim trunks and his usual speed sneakers, something was wrong high in the sky above him. There, in a plane, sat a young seventeen-year-old kitsune with two tails, carefully guiding his plane across the blue sky. He kept a close watch on his plane's systems as he flew, as this was only a test run, not a real flight. His new Tornado Mk. II was a very powerful plane that used a Chaos Emerald as its power source. However, the engine still had its faults that needed to be worked out, and this boy was aware of this. Still, he figured that a test run would help him pinpoint where the weak points lied in the engine, so he had flown out away from his workshop, and gone way further than he had planned.

Then, the trouble occurred. As his engine ran off of the energy of the Chaos Emerald within, it suddenly began overloading. The boy said, "Oh boy, that's not good!"

He began trying to vent the excess energy, but the vents that were supposed to let the excess flow out didn't open. His plane began to smoke as the engine caught fire and he began losing control of his plane. He let out a scream as it began going down towards the beach below. He called, "Mayday! Mayday! Someone help!!"

Back down on the ground, Sonic heard the call, and looked up at the plane. He gasped when he saw who the pilot was and the condition of the plane. He called, "Tails! Pull up! You're going to crash!"

It flew right by him and skidded to a stop along the beach. Sonic ran over to make sure his good friend was okay, and found him stumble out of the wreckage, seeming very dazed and jarred. "Hey, Tails, are you alright?!" Sonic asked worriedly.

Tails shook his head to clear his vision, and when he saw Sonic, he said, "Oh, Sonic! Sorry about the close fly-by! I just lost control of my plane there!"

Sonic asked, "What happened? You're too good of a pilot to just lose control like that!"

Tails replied, "Yeah, I know, but I was testing out a new engine that ran off of a different power supply and went further than planned."

Sonic was somewhat surprised by how much his friend had changed. Instead of the young, ten-year-old kid that he had been adventuring with for a while seven years ago, now he was almost a man, with a much deeper voice than before, and definitely a bigger build. He now wore a black leather jacket with a green T-shirt underneath, a leather pilot's helmet, and very sturdy, leather pants complete with black and gray tennis shoes. Sonic figured in his head that he definitely looked like a true mechanic now. Then, Tails stood up from his plane and said, "Hey, check out my new power supply!"

He held it up, and Sonic gasped. "No way! A Chaos Emerald?!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

There, in the kitsune's gloved hands, sat a large purple gem that was perfectly cut and radiated with power. It was Chaos Emerald, one of seven gems of unimaginable power. With just one, a person could easily power a massive reactor or power a jet to the point where it could easily pass the sound barrier and go faster yet. With more, a whole metropolis could virtually run off of them indefinitely. However, with all seven, the user gained ultimate power, being able to make anything, including themselves, extremely powerful and invulnerable for up to thirty minutes. Also, if the person had all seven, a doomsday machine or an artificial paradise could be run easily. Sonic had only managed to gather all seven three times in the past, and that was with some extreme difficulty. Now, in front of him, sat one of the seven already.

He asked, "Where did you find it, Tails?"

Tails replied, "I found it while I was wandering around in the jungle in the Mystic Ruins, just lying on the ground for me to pick up. Hey, Sonic, want to come to my workshop? I think we'll have to get someone to move this back to my workshop, but we can do call someone to do that at the train station."

Sonic gladly said, "Sure! It's been a while since we've hung out together."

Tails said, "Yeah, it has. Well, let's go! Follow me, and I'll show which train it is."

Sonic followed Tails to the train station, and along the way, they went to the hotel that Sonic was staying at for his long vacation. As they walked in, Sonic's eye caught a glimpse of a beautiful purple cat girl in the pool right outside the hotel, talking with some of the other girls in the pool. Right as he turned away, he saw her look right at him out of the corner of his left eye, and thought, Wow...she's like an angel...I wish.

They walked in, and Sonic took some time to get fully clothed before going with Tails again. He stepped back out, his shades still on, and now he had a black, biker jacket with no shirt underneath, and ragged biker jeans. Tails asked, "What's up with the biker look?"

Sonic replied, "I'll admit, I wasn't thinking about wearing these before, but Amy pushed me to do it, saying that it was the newest in fashion. I finally decided to do it just to shut her up about it."

Tails grinned and said, "That's typical when it comes to you and her. Well, I have to admit that you do look really cool in that."

Sonic said, "Thanks, bud! So, are we going to get going or what?"

Tails said, "K, follow me!"

They began to leave the hotel, and as they walked outside, Sonic took in the sight for just a moment. They now stood in a large space, with multiple building near them. The main ones were the hotel, Twinkle Park, an office building, and the train station. The train station stood out the most out of all of the buildings there at the moment. Tails said, "Alright, let's go. I'll call an old friend of mine to help move the plane back to my workshop from the station."

Sonic said, "You've said that already."

Tails said, "Making sure you know, because sometimes you have a tendency to not be paying attention."

"Well, excuse me!" Sonic exclaimed, offended by the comment, "I happen to pay attention to everything you say, bud, and I haven't forgotten a bit of what you've said so far!"

Tails said, "Alright, so you've changed a bit. At least you pay more attention to me than you a while back."

Sonic sighed as he remembered all about that and the arguments it started at points, and said, "Yeah, I'm sorry about all that. I'll try to make it up to you sometime..."

His voice trailed off as he saw the purple cat girl again. This time, she was also in a biker outfit, but she had her jacket slightly open, partially revealing the bra underneath. Sonic thought, I didn't think that it was also something of fashion for the women, too, unless she's a tomboy.

Tails asked, "Well, are you coming or...whoa! Watch it, Sonic!"

A group of bikers came driving up to Sonic, seeming as if they were going to run him over. Thinking quickly, Sonic leaped into action. Instead of just dashing aside, he spun into a ball and sped into them, knocking them off of their motorbikes. The motorbikes flew in different directions, as did their riders. The riders stood up and looked at him in surprise, as if they hadn't been expecting him to do that. He saw the cat girl look in that direction in surprise and shock, but for now he focused on the riders. He asked "What's the big idea, guys?! Were you even watching where you were going?!"

One of them replied, "Yeah, we were, but you got in our way, dude! You can't just do that!"

Sonic yelled, "You were heading right for me! What do you mean I got in your way?!"

Tails said, "Hey, I know you guys!"

They looked over at him, and one of them said, "Oh great...not you again!"

Sonic said, "Yeah, him again! Now, if you guys don't clear out, we're going to have to give you a serious lesson. You got me?"

One of them looked over at him and asked, "What does it matter to you, you spikey-quilled freak?"

Sonic looked at him and asked, "What did you just call me?"

By this point, the purple cat girl was getting closer to where they were standing, unaware of who Sonic was right at that moment, and determined to keep a major fight from starting. She said, "All of you, back off!"

The leader of the three bikers turned to look at her, and just smiled. He said, "You're quite the daring one to be talking smack like that to us."

Sonic said, "You're the ones talking smack, buster! She's just trying to get you to learn your place, idiots!"

Tails said, "If you don't back off, I will defend my friend from you."

Sonic said, "Don't worry about them, Tails. I can handle them."

"Big talker for one who doesn't even have a motorbike to ride," said one of the more silent ones.

Sonic said, "I don't need a motorbike."

The cat girl seemed surprised, and asked, "Then...why do are you wearing that outfit? I mean, I only wear them when I'm biking, like I was going to be pretty soon..."

Sonic grinned and asked, "Do you guys even know who I am?"

Suddenly, one of them threw a knife at Sonic. The cat girl shouted, "Look out!"

It all happened in an instant, the blade stopped, but it never hit Sonic. Instead, he caught it, and calmly said, "You just picked a fight you can't win."

Suddenly, he zipped up to one of them and delivered a powerful uppercut, sending that one into the air. He landed, knocked out cold. One of the other ones pulled out a knife and charged at Sonic. Sonic just kicked him in the stomach extremely hard and knocked him out, and then he turned to face the last one. Both Tails and the cat girl stayed back, watching him. Tails just smiled, while the cat girl was shocked. The biker stared in horror, and asked, "Who are you?"

Sonic replied, "You should have asked that earlier. I'm none other than Sonic the Hedgehog!"

The biker now stood before him, staring in despair. Tails then grabbed him by the back of the neck and said, "Alright, start talking! Who sent you?"

The grip he held was very tight, and the biker could not break free. He cried, "Let me go! I wasn't in this group anyways!"

Sonic walked up and asked, "Would you like to prove it?"

The biker took one look at him, and then he said, "Alright, alright! I was sent here by...a large man, bald, brown spiky mustache, purple glasses...I think he was also shaped somewhat like an egg."

The name instantly occurred to Sonic, and he whispered, "Eggman..."

Tails ask, "Sonic, what do you think about that?"

Sonic replied, "I don't know, but I think Dr. Robotnik is back at it."

"You're really Sonic? The famous Sonic the Hedgehog?" Sonic heard a voice ask. He turned around slowly to see the cat girl standing there. Her jacket still revealed part of her chest, though she had the bra there, and she had purple fur all the way down. She wasn't just pretty, she was gorgeous. Never before had he seen any other girl as beautiful as this cat girl. Her voice, the way she had asked if he really was Sonic, it was like a song in his mind.

Remembering where he was, he quickly replied, "Yep! That's me! And might I do for you, miss...?"

"Blaze," she replied, "I was just...astounded at how quickly you took out those criminals."

Sonic turned to the biker and asked, "Criminal? Were you in this for money?"

The biker nodded, fear still in his eyes. He turned to Blaze and asked, "Do you know anything about them? For example, if they're in a bigger gang than just these three? And what do they do?"

Blaze said, "I'll come with you to...wherever you two are going. I'll explain along the way."

Something told Sonic that this had an alternative meaning to it. He quickly concluded that she probably liked him, and this was a way of getting to know more about him. However, he decided that it would be alright. He said, "Alright, you can come along, though we're going to the Mystic Ruins."

Blaze said, "Good! That means I can take down two birds with one stone. As it turns out, I have business of my own to take care of there."

Tails said, "Alright, then come along. Both me and Sonic could greatly benefit from what you can tell us about these people."

Sonic then added, "And maybe, to repay you for the info, we could help you with whatever business you need to take care of over there."

Blaze smiled and said, "It sounds like a deal!"

Sonic was practically being hypnotized by her charm at this point, but he could still think straight about what he was doing. They went onto the train and intentionally sat farther away from most of the other passengers. Then, Sonic said, "Alright, tell us everything that you know about this gang of people."

End of first chapter. I will introduce all of the characters before actually moving on with the plot. Expect one of the evil or good characters that aren't so good (in other words, Shadow) to appear in the next chapter! See you then.
