Author Notes
This is a totally different Sonic universe, like how the games, comics, and cartoons are all different Sonic universes with different characters and settings. So, please, no comments on how it's not like the games, it's still Sonic. This is also based off of ideas for my own series, but just using the main ideas and making them Sonic style. The Chao raising is different then that from the games as you will see if you read on.
Chapter One: Hero and Dark are born
In a not so well hidden base in the mountains, a robot named Dr. Eggrobo was lonely. He has black legs, a black round egg-shaped body with yellow marks, black arms with white hands and a black round head with red eyes, brown metal mustache. He never liked living in a city called Station Square with the other robots for unknown reasons. He had gotten a small, cute creature with a simple humanoid shape with a floating ball over its head called Chao so he would not be as lonely. Chao were popular and along with animals, the most populated species on the planet. He has not gotten this Chao too long ago, he wanted to get an animal to get his Chao to evolve into a furry, a humanoid animal. In order to get an animal, Eggrobo would have to enter another dimension and win it, using an object called the Game Ring.
It was a platinum-colored ring able to fit in one's hand and when held onto tightly, would send them to another dimension. Eggrobo used the Game Ring and he disappeared in a flash of light. It teleported him to a hub like place, where he could choose any game play style and then any level. He chose classic game play and a level called Green Hill Zone.
A black screen showed up with the text "Green Hill Zone Act 1" and he could see a heads up display in front of him showing his score, time, and ring count. Some background music started playing which seemed to have come from all over. Around the zone many golden rings floated and it had moving platforms, everything lay out like a video game. Unlike the normal world, he could jump high, run fast, and roll into a ball to defeat enemies, which were robots. He raced through the zone grabbing rings and defeating enemies simply by touching them while in ball form, either by rolling or jumping. He ran passed a blank sign which span around a few times and his face appeared on it. Victory music played and a results screen came up, totaling up his rings and time for a final score.
Eggrobo was now in Act 2, where the layout was different, otherwise the enemies, background music, and theme were the same. He bumped into an enemy while not in ball form and rings dropped outta him. He tried to pick them back up before they disappeared, but it was too late. He got hit again with no rings and he fell on the ground, then the black screen came up again and everything was the way it was when he first entered. However, he lost a life and losing them all would kick him outta the game. He raced through the act like the first one and finished it.
Eggrobo was now in Act 3, it was harder then the other two, but he got to the end and unlike the other acts they only had a sign at the end, a boss was waiting for him. Invisible walls blocked him inside a small area and a machine with a big ball held by a chain floated down. It hovered in midair and started to slowly swing the ball back and forth. New background music started to play, Eggrobo easily dodged the ball and bounced off the machine eight times, then it fell to the ground and blew up. The usual background music played again and the invisible walls in front disappeared. Rather then a sign this time, it was a capsule with an animal trapped inside. Whatever animal in this capsule was will be his prize.
He jumped on top of the capsule, causing it to break open. A brown hedgehog came outta the capsule and jumped into Eggrobo's hands. Eggrobo could tell this was a male hedgehog somehow, but he did not exactly want a hedgehog, but it would just have to do because he did not feel like playing another level at the time to win another animal. He used the Game Ring again to exit back to the real world with the hedgehog and back into his so-called hidden base. He sat the hedgehog next to his Chao and they seemed to like each other a lot.
The next morning Eggrobo got up and saw his Chao has now fused with the hedgehog, it could run very fast, Eggrobo did not understand this. He really wanted to make this animal Chao evolve, it was now ready, he would have to take care of it with popular loving and healthy food for awhile. He went out into Station Square and brought some Chao food in the black market with his hard earned rings and went back into his base up in the mountains far from the city.
For weeks Eggrobo fed and took good care of his Chao, however he never thought of a name for him. Soon his Chao gone into a blue egg, this was the moment, if kept warm and undamaged for three days it would evolve into a furry hedgehog. He was very happy about this, soon he would have a natural friend he could talk to and live with. He simply used a machine to keep the egg warm for three days which felt like forever and the moment of truth came, the egg (which was much bigger now) started to hatch. Eggrobo had a smile on his face, the last time being a long time ago. Out came a brown hedgehog furry who was about two and some half feet tall with many small quells and looked about teenager age. Eggrobo, who has not spoken in a long time, said to the hedgehog:
"Hello hedgehog, I am your breeder, Dr. Eggrobo"
The hedgehog did not know what to do and looked surprise. He simply said:
"Um hello"
Then they shook hands, with Eggrobo looking down on the hedgehog cause he was about twice his height. After shaking hands, the hedgehog speeded off around the base and he came back to the doctor a few seconds later. Smoke was emitting from his feet and he told the doc:
"I need some shoes, my bare feet burn up from running"
Eggrobo replied:
"I'll make you some new shoes designed to keep your feet from burning. Just gimme a few hours"
So the doc went into some lab in his base and the hedgehog looked around for any other animals. He was lonely, but he did found some food laying around and a pair of white gloves. He put the gloves on because he thought they would be neat and he ate some of the animal food. He took a nap and a few hours later Eggrobo found him. He woke the hedgehog up and told him:
"The shoes are ready, put them on and we'll test them out in the lab"
The hedgehog lazily woke up and put on the shoes. They were red with a white line in the middle going from each side and they were a perfect fit. They went into the lab and the hedgehog stepped into a big wheel. The doc sat at the controls and asked the hedgehog if he was ready, the hedgehog replied yes and the hedgehog started to run. It felt very good because he could go very fast and his feet felt fine the whole time. The machine started to reach past 500 MPH and the doc said:
"Wow! You're really fast, you're even faster then the speed of sound. I will name you Sonic the Hedgehog, that's a perfect name!"
Soon the speed started to go higher and higher, reaching past 750 MPH. The doc warned Sonic:
"Slow down before the machine overheats!"
But it was too late, the speed gone past 1,000 MPH and the whole base blew up. It must have taken over a minute for the smoke to clear, but two different figures were standing there. Sonic was now blue with only a few long quells, longer legs and arms (making him about three feet tall), gold buckets on his shoes, and green eyes. He looked at where Dr. Eggrobo was at and he finally stood up, but looked very different. He was bigger looking and now a more complex design, longer legs and arms, gold buttons on his body, silver buttons on his legs, and two silver core looking things on his head. He looked at Sonic and said with a now darker voice:
"I will crush you Sonic the Hedgehog! This world will be mine soon!"
His big arms reached for the hedgehog, but Sonic became so scared he ran outta the base ruins and all the way into Station Square. He felt like he was to blame for the base being destroyed and Dr. Eggrobo becoming a different person. He knew he had to stop looking at the past and only look ahead. He stood alone in the city, a strange and different place to him.
Author Notes
I know there was limited speech, but I did not really need much and the Game Ring was not really explained much. Don't worry, I had to set things up and the next chapter will have a little bit more focus on this Game Ring.
