Mobius is a planet of lush, great beauty. It has many great stories to tell, and has seen many great things. However, for every great thing, it has seen bad. From robot empires to the world quite literally tearing apart, mobius has seen her fair share of terror, but it's thanks to a certain hero that the people of mobius remain calm and live in peace. A hero by the name of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Since Sonic was a child, he has been foiling the plans of his nemesis, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or as Sonic has taken kindly to calling him, Dr. Eggman. It has been Eggman's personal goal since the beginning to set in place his Robotnik empire and robotize (turn into robot) everyone who stands in his way. Even when he was close to achieving his goals, Sonic was always there to save the day, rather it be by spin dashing to victory, or by using the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to turn into the mighty Super Sonic. Eggman has seen little to no success in the presence of this mighty hero.
Aside from Eggman, Sonic has protected his planet from even greater evils. Rather it be the Demi-God Dark Gaia, Ultimate Life Form Biolizard, Perfect Chaos, or even Solaris himself, nothing has ever proven too much for the Blue Blur. Sonic is determined, and when his mind is set, nothing can slow him down. He has been an idol among not only his people, but his friends: Miles Tails Prower, Amy Rose, Knuckles, and many, many more.
No match has ever proven too much for Sonic. Even when Mephiles the Dark could kill him, his friends came through and brought him back. When knocked down, Sonic comes back even stronger. Some call him the greatest hero that's ever lived, and while that may be a fair estimate, seeing as how many times he's saved the planet, there are still a lot of uncharted areas on Mobius Sonic and his friends have never been to.
After Sonic's last adventure against Dr. Eggman and the deadly six, things have been very peaceful. Eggman has remained strangely quiet, and everyone has been at peace. Sonic built a very small cabin in Bridge Zone and lives there on a hill that overlooks the most stunning sunset. Every day is the same for Sonic: he wakes up, watches the sun rise, checks his mail, eats breakfast, visits his friends, then eats chili dogs until he passes out. One could say he created his perfect routine. One day, on November 15th, Sonic woke up to go about his daily routine, not knowing that this would be the day he never forgot as the day that changed everything…
He leaps out of bed as the sun rise is beginning, runs outside, and lays on the hill, watching the sun rise over the rolling, beautiful waters of the Bridge Zone lake. "Do things get any better than this?" he asks as he gazes upon the beauty. After the sun rise Sonic gets up and runs over to his mail box. "Time to see read more exciting mail." He says sarcastically as he grabs it all. "Magazine, coupons, coupons, magazine, RSVP to Antoine's wedding, what the heck?!" he laughs as he throws those into the garbage, then notices one more letter. "What's this?" he asks as he notices an unusual letter with a blue logo on it, that consists of an O. Sonic opens the letter, sits down and begins to read it.
Dear Mr. Sonic the Hedgehog
Hello, my name is Cedric Winters, head CEO of the corporation OMEGA. We are a secret organization with one goal in mind: safety. There are terrors growing beneath our feet that no one knows of, and we are gathering all the world's most renowned heroes to stand against it. Due to confidentiality, we cannot reveal any more information to you until you accept. At midnight, today, November 15th, we will send a helicopter to your location to pick you up. Tell no one of this mission, anyone you inform will be in danger of evils beyond anything you've ever imagined. This letter will self-destruct in exactly one minute after opening. See you tonight, Mr. Hedgehog…
Sincerely,
Cedric Winters.
"Self-destruct?" Sonic asks as the letter starts smoking. He screams as he runs outside and throws it over the hill. "How was that even possible?" he chuckles as he walks back into his house. "Omega… I don't know, seems pretty sketchy." Sonic says as he starts moving around, until he accidently knocks over a picture. He picks it up and notices that it's a picture of him from his childhood, with his mother, who died a few years before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog. "Mom…" Sonic says as he sits down on his couch, remembering back to his last memory with his mom.
Sonic's mom is leaving the house as young sonic runs to her. "Mom, don't go!" he yells.
"Honey, I'll be back shortly, do I ever stay gone long?" she laughs.
"But, I don't like being alone. I'm scared."
"Listen to me, Sonic. You have a gift that no one has. You can, and will do very special things. There is no need to be scared."
"But…"
"I want to tell you this once, Sonic. One day, people will look up to you. People will ask you for help, and you'll accept, because that's what us hedgehogs do. You are going to be so many people's hero."
"You… You promise?"
"I promise baby boy." She begins to leave after kissing him on the check. "I love you, baby! Uncle Chuck will be here soon!"
"Love you, mom!" Young Sonic answers as we return to present day Sonic.
"She never came home…" he says as a tear hits the picture. "I am a hero… When people ask me for help, I'll be there." Sonic gets up, walks outside and looks into the distance. "Looks like this is going to be goodbye for a while, South Isles…"
A bit of time passes, and we join Sonic, at about 5:50PM, training for what's to come at Green Hill. He's zipping through loops, and easily breaking the sound barrier. Eventually, Sonic finds himself near Tails' workshop. "Tails…" he says as he walks over and knocks on the door. Tails answers and smiles.
"Sonic! What brings you here?" he asks excitingly.
"Just out for a run, the usual. What're you up to, bud?" Sonic asks walking in and making himself at home, as if nothing is on his mind.
"Just working on a few upgrades to my tornado X."
"Tornado X? You upgraded that thing again?"
"Of course! It'll never be complete, always pushing the limits!"
"Nothing can ever beat my original plane, I'm just saying."
"Sonic, the first time I ever met you, you were passed out from a crash…"
"That's not important. Either way, I'm going to continue my run, just wanted to drop by."
"Okay, good to see you. Come by tomorrow and check it out! It should be complete." Sonic pauses for a while, facing the door.
"Sure thing." He says as he walks out.
Sonic continues his run, feeling terrible for the lie he had to make to his childhood best friend. Sonic finds himself at a little town in Green Hill called Little Leaf, where Amy had moved to. Sonic sees Amy's house and decides to pay a visit, he approaches and knocks on the door.
"Sonic?!" Amy gasps as she flings the door open.
"How did you know it was me?" Sonic asks.
"I recognize your knock anywhere!"
"That's creepy Amy." Sonic says as she grabs his hand and leads him into her house.
"What bring you here?" Amy asks as she sits on the couch, guiding Sonic to sit next to her.
"Got bored and decided to pay a visit to some people, just got back from Tails'." Sonic answers.
"How sweet, I don't even care that I'm your second pick, I'm so happy to see you here! Do you want something to eat?" she asks running to the kitchen.
"No, that'll be fine Amy, thanks…" Sonic tries to say before being interrupted.
"I have Chili Dog mix!" Amy smiles from the kitchen.
"I guess a few Chili Dogs won't hurt…" Sonic grins.
"How many?"
"The usual."
"Fifteen, got it!"
"Haha, I really do have a problem." Sonic laughs as he sits back. "Now I'm really happy I came over; you make the best Chili Dogs."
"I know exactly how you like them, Sonic. I've made them for years after all!"
"Yeah, I guess you know a lot more about me than I thought."
"Of course!"
"Gee, looking back you really just watch out for me, Amy. I'm sorry if I was ever a jerk."
"Sonic, I tend to block those moments out." Amy laughs.
"Haha, well good, I'm glad to hear that." Sonic answers.
"Hey, are you ready for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?"
"Don't tell me you forgot!"
"Uhh…"
"Come on, Sonic! Tomorrow is my birthday!"
"Yeah, I totally knew that!" Sonic laughs.
"You'll be there, right? You promised!"
"Yeah…" Sonic says slowly looking at the door. "I'll be there. I have to go."
"Wait, you haven't had your Chili Dogs yet!"
"Yeah, just keep them in the fridge for me. Sorry, Amy." Sonic says leaving.
"That Sonic… I'll never truly understand him…" Amy says looking down at the can of Chili she had yet to open. "At least I'll see him tomorrow… Sonic never breaks promises…"
It is about 11:30PM, only half an hour until midnight, and Sonic is putting together a few things in his house. "Can't take too much." He says to himself while gathering a few things. He looks over at the picture of his mom. Walks over and picks it up. "This one's for you, ma." Sonic says packing the picture. Sonic's phone goes off on the counter near him, and he looks at it to see a text from Amy.
The text reads "Hey, is everything okay?" Sonic ignores it, with a single tear in his eye, as he continues to pack up.
Half an hour passes, and Sonic is standing atop the tall hill just outside of his house. As soon as the clock turns midnight, a helicopter lands near him. Sonic approaches it slowly until his phone begins to ring. He looks down and sees it's a call from Amy. Sonic closes his eyes, and squeezes the phone, fighting back tears. Suddenly, he throws it to the ground, and stomps on it, breaking it to pieces. Sonic steps onto the helicopter as it takes off. He looks down and watches Little Leaf shrink more and more as he gets farther away.
"So long, everyone…" he says fighting back tears.

Hope everyone enjoyed the pilot! It's a shorter one, but it's just the intro. Unlike my Total Drama stories, I'm going to try to keep this on a steady weekly update schedule, every Saturday. Stay tuned for more Sonic Omega!
