On March 4th, 13 years ago. A hedgehog was born on Christmas Island, and his name, is Maurice. The youngest of 3 children, he was often treated with care, even if he got bullied at school due to having super speed. This earned him the nickname Sonic, which he actually liked more than Maurice. Sonic at the age of 12 got a plane that he named "The Tornado", people on Earth are allowed to fly without a license due to education being a very high priority. And one of the first things people learn is how to fly a plane, due to most of the world being unexplored. This also allows people to leave their families at age 13. Anyway, once Sonic got his plane, he started getting ready to explore the world. And on June 23rd, 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog left Christmas Island.

Sonic's POV

I found an island that I named "South Island", I was going to land somewhere else, but I was tired so I decided to land there. When I landed I saw some animals walking to the plane to investigate. They looked confused at the sight, and when I got out of the plane, they looked up at me. They were quite small, about as small as a baby, they also didn't speak English, they spoke some strange gibberish. I tried to ask the bird their name, and they said "Chirp, chirp!", I can only assume they didn't understand me either. So I named each animal individually and eventually learned the language

A few days later I was relaxing on The Tornado's wing, enjoying the beautiful scenery, lushious, Green Hills for miles and miles. Until I saw the small animals running away, when I asked them what was going on. I translated it to "Some crazy fat guy is turning us into robots!", once I heard that I quickly ran in the direction they were coming from. I saw a robot, and when I broke it, an animal popped out. "So he's turning animals to robots huh! I won't let that happen!"

When I reached the end of the hills, I saw a strange flying mobile. "Hey! Are you turning these animals into robots!" He turned around, and I saw a man with a mustache, goggles and a red and yellow shirt. "Why, you are a big animal! Are you coming to be turned into a robot?" I responded by yelling no and asked him why he was doing this. "Because I'm trying to get the legendary Chaos Emeralds! If I get all 6, the world is mine!" "Wow, you explained that in a lot of unnecessary detail out-loud." "Well, here's your gift!"

He suddenly dropped a wrecking ball that started swinging left and right. Considering I could run fast, he didn't last long. "I will get those Chaos Emeralds!" "Not if I get them first!" He started leaving, so I chased after him. Before I saw a giant ring, when I entered it, I was suddenly transported to a strange area. Wait, how is there a giant floating gold ring. There were birds and fishes turning into blocks, and after taking a deep look, I saw a Chaos Emerald. Once I finally got it, I was transported to a new area. After 4 more times of beating that fat guy and entering a special area, I finally got to his base.


Yes, to fix the issue with Tails' age, I made the other characters 2 years younger. Sorry for the exposition dump at the start, I had to explain how we got here after-all. And that's it for Chapter 1! See you next time! (Yes, if I wanted to I would cover all of Marble, Spring Yard, Labyrinth and Star Light but it would be mostly the same)
