Chapter 1

Arrival

"So, what happened while you were there, Sonic?", asked Tails. "Honestly, there was a lot that happened. You probably should sit down for this.", replied Sonic. "Did you see ghosts!? Or maybe creepy monsters from beneath the surface!? Flying fro-No, Knuckles. None of those.", Sonic interrupted Knuckles. "I'll tell you the whole story, just chill.", Sonic continued. "You didn't do anything with that cat lady did you!?", asked Amy with a concerned expression and attitude. "W-what!? No way! I don't like her like that. She's just a friend.", Sonic assured Amy. "Ohh! You better not be lying to me, Sonic!", yelled Amy with an unsure but wary tone. "I promise.", said Sonic. "Tell us the story!", cheered Charmy as he flipped around with excitement. "Okay, okay!", agreed Sonic as he sat down and put his hand over his mussel in thought.

"Hmm. Let's see. The last thing I can remember before arriving in the Sol Dimension was blacking out from being strangled by Infinite. Then, -..." Sonic flipped forward out of the black hole he had been sucked into! He hit the ground and limply rolled forward onto the sandy shore of an island. His rolled to a stop after the weight of his limp body stopped him, the waters rose up and flowed over his shoes and ankles. The tide gradually rose until it passed over Sonic's chest. He had been there for an hour, in the sand, sun, and water.

Sonic slowly opened his eyes, he was covered in white sand and his shoes were soggy with salt water. The sound of seagulls overhead could be heard as they flew over, along with the sound of the waters lightly slapping against some of the more well-defined edges of the island could be heard. "Oh man. Is the fight over?", asked Sonic as he rubbed near his neck and sat up. He looked around at the unfamiliar setting; "Huh? This isn't where I was just fighting-Oh! Where's {Buddy}!?", Sonic recalled and then remembered his partner. "{Buddy}! You here!?", Sonic shouted but got no reply. He looked around and his senses fully returned as he realized that {Buddy} wasn't around.

Sonic got up to his feet and stared out over the ocean as the wind blew against him. He looked out to see anything, but it was just water. 'Why am I on this small island?', he thought. He turned around and looked at what had been behind him, where he saw a sandy coast with a few large rocks among the flat sand. There were also few coconut trees and bushes that were scattered across the entire island, but that was it. It was just a small island that had a total area of one-hundred-twenty square feet, that was mostly flat.

Sonic sighed and thought about what he should do. "Anyone here!", Sonic yelled after he formed his hands into a round shape at his mouth to project his call, but there were only the seagulls squawking above and around him. He tried again facing different directions and yelled as loud as he could, but it only made the seagulls fly away for a short time before regrouping around the same area above him and continue their circling or random paths of flight. 'This is getting me nowhere. What should I do now?', Sonic thought as he felt stranded. He walked over to a large rock and sat down against it and stared at the water flowing up to the shore and then recede back, and he also looked at the seagulls flying. Some of the seagulls would land and hop around and peck at the sand for food, others would land and look around out of curiosity or even look at Sonic. Sonic sighed as he wiped his forehead which was starting to sweat slightly.

"I should probably make a way for someone to know I'm here if someone should happen to see this island!", he said to himself, remembering certain important facts of survival. He quickly gathered as many rocks as he could and was able to spell "S-O-S" with them. He also wrote "H-E-L-P", in the sand on the other side of the island. He also made a place for a fire using rocks and coconut tree leaves, which he could use later if it got cold. He set aside some coconuts for any other purposes that they might be useful for. He found himself a shady spot beneath the canopy of two coconut trees nearby each other and sat down.

"Man. This is boring.", Sonic told himself as laid down and closed his eyes. He started to fall asleep as the sun was nearly directly above him. He drifted off into a deep sleep and occasionally turned or moved around. A seagull would sometimes get near Sonic and poke around curiously. At one point, a bunch of them had gathered around him and started pecking at him, forcing him to wake up and he swatted at them, which they then scattered and left him alone for the most part. He fell back asleep and would remain asleep for many hours.

Sonic was protected by the shade as the sun continued its path until it was angled at him after passing the time of high noon. He responded automatically by turning over so he was not facing the sun, then continued sleeping. It wouldn't be until sunset when Sonic awoke. He stretched and yawned. "It's already sunset?", Sonic questioned after he rubbed his eyes and looked out at the ocean, seeing the orange sun above the water. 'Something is different about this time.', he thought as he looked at the sun setting. There was no sign of help or any other life besides the seagulls, crabs, and insects. "It's not cold but it's definitely boring.", Sonic said.

Sonic's stomach growled, "I can last without food, but not water.", he said as he picked up a coconut nearby that he had stashed. The water around the island was saltwater and drinking it would be a bad decision, because it could lead to faster dehydration. Sonic knew that he could bust open the coconut without strength, he used his speed instead. He ran at a large rock and stopped on a dime at the rock with the coconut against the rock after he had timed when to swing his arm forward. The coconut cracked open and he drank the contents. 'Stay hydrated.', he thought as he finished drinking and tried to eat the insides of the coconut, but it wasn't very good, so he went to the circle of rocks he made before and started a fire, using his speed to rub two coconuts together. The fibers burned well and he set the flaming coconuts onto the coconut tree leaves in the middle of the circle of rocks and the fire started. The fire also acted a light which could be by someone on a boat that could pass by or near the island, but Sonic's main reason for the fire was for food. He caught whatever animals and critters he could find, but avoided insects for now.

With a few birds and crabs, Sonic was ready to start prepping for a meal. He ripped off the head of each seagull and gutted them. After that, he used the ocean's water to help clean off the meat and then he used sticks he gathered from bushes to skew the bird meat. He didn't want to have to hold each stick one at a time or have to hold a stick when he could be letting the meat cool while he did other things, so he set down the sticks and put the one with all of the meat skewed against a rock. He gathered more small rocks and built up a small wall around the fire, then he took the stick with the meat on it and leaned it against the wall of rocks. The meat was now just above the fire to cook, so Sonic wouldn't have to hold the stick over the fire. He broke open the hard exterior of the crabs he had gathered and killed and prepped it similarly as he did the seagull meat. Both types of meat were now cooking over the fire. Though there wasn't a lot of meat, it would be enough to rid him of his hunger for a while.

Sonic ate the meat and drank from another coconut before he returned to the shady area he slept at before. He got some leaves, coconut tree leaves, and coconut fiber to make a soft spot to lay on for the night. The sun was below the water now and the only light Sonic could see was the fire's or from above, being either the moon or stars. Sonic laid down on his makeshift bed and thought about what the Resistance might be doing right now, and hoped that everyone was okay. "Hang in there everyone, I'll figure out some way of getting back!", Sonic said as he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
