Prologue: Into the Arabian Nights

Hello everyone! It's me, Detroid434 and I'm back with a new story. I know, what's up with me and new stories and I'll say this and I quote Odd "Lay off will you!" I'm forgetting to update my other stories because of my girlfriend getting problems in her personal life. Before I get right into the disclaimer, I need to say this. Sonic and the Secret Rings controls are somewhat okay but it has harder rating system than any Sonic games in the history of gaming history. You must beat the level in a certain amount of time just to get a 5 star. Seriously, this is one hard rating system. Anyway, onto the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic at all. That copyright goes to SEGA.

This will start in nobody's POV. Enjoy!

Sonic and Caleb were sleeping while the fire was keeping them warm. Both of them were snoring to show that they were sleeping. Could these two save the Arabian Nights and their pages? Can these two wake up? I mean, Caleb did help Sonic save Mobius but to me, he can't save this world. Or could he? I must try to wake them up.

"Um..." the voice spoke

"ZZZ" Sonic and Caleb snored in sync

"Hmph! Hey, wake up!" the voice spoke again

Caleb and Sonic were starting to wake up. Took them a bit to wake up but now it's time for business. I hope they can save this world from this evil genie.

"Yaaaaawn! Boy, is it that late already? What time is it?" Sonic tiredly asked

"I'm not sure but I agree with you right there Sonic" Caleb replied tiredly while trying to grab a hold of a clock but instead, a big ring

"Huh?!" Caleb shockingly said

"What is it Caleb?" Sonic asked before seeing the ring Caleb held

"What the..."

"You are the blue hedgehog and the humanoid hedgehog" the voice spoke a third time while appearing in front of Sonic and Caleb

Shahra came out of the ring and scared and shocking Caleb and Sonic.

"Ahh! What the..." Caleb and Sonic said at the same time

"Do not be alarmed! I am Shahra, Genie of the Ring...you know, like "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp." Shahra told them

"Don't think I've read that" Sonic said

"Shahra. So you're like... going to give the holder three wishes?" Caleb asked

"Sorta." Shahra told Caleb before saying to Sonic:

"What? You've got to be kidding me! It's the best story of all the Arabian Nights! Or at least the 2nd best... but that's beside the point. Please, look at this!"

Shahra handed Caleb a book and he began turning the pages and both Caleb and Sonic were shocked.

"Hey, the page is blank!" Sonic pointed out

"Is this what you were trying to tell us Shahra?" Caleb asked Shahra

Shahra nodded while both Caleb and Sonic had exclamation mark hanging over their heads.

"Our world... The world of the Arabian Nights is vanishing" Shahra sadly said

Caleb saw some of theArabian characters in the book. They disappear to Caleb's and Sonic's surprise.

"Vanishing? But how?" Sonic asked

"I'm guessing someone wants to rule that world like Dr. Eggman and this world" Caleb said

"This is the work of an incredibly evil spirit... the Erazor Djinn" Shahra told them

"Erazor... Djinn?" Sonic asked

"Who is Erazor Djinn?" Caleb added in

"Yes. He used his evil magic to become even more powerful. He could not bear to simply remain in the book any longer. And so he has begun to set the inscriptions free, absorbing the power of the book itself." Shahra replied

"The power of the book?" Caleb and Sonic asked

Caleb's and Sonic's shadow was projected onto the wall behind them.

"If our world ceases to exist, then not only will those stories be silenced forever, but the Erazor Djinn will then be unleashed into your world." Shahra kept telling them

"Yikes!" Caleb yelled

Caleb's and Sonic's shadow changes to the shadow of the Erazor Djinn.

"That definitely sounds trouble. But, what you want us to do?" Sonic asked

"Yeah! Sonic does have a point" Caleb added in

"I want you to stop him... You must stop the Erazor Djinn. Only both of you, the blue hedgehog and the humanoid hedgehog, can do it" Shahra told them

"Hmm. So, this guy needs someone to put him in his place, does he? I suppose we can help out with that. It might even be fun. But... this is all something out of a storybook, right? How am we supposed to do anything about that?" Sonic asked

"Yeah! I agree with Sonic" Caleb said

"That's easy. You both are my master, having called fourth the Genie of the Ring. As such, I am able to grant both of your wishes. Simple wishes, at any rate. Bringing both of you into the world of the Arabian Nights is within my power." Shahra explained

"What?! Inside that book?" Sonic and Caleb exclaimed

Shahra transformed into two rings.

"Now, please, place the ring on both of your fingers" Shahra said from the rings

Sonic and Caleb placed the rings on one of their fingers.

"Like this?" Caleb and Sonic asked

Sparks came out of both rings and it hurt both Caleb and Sonic, badly.

"OUCH! Hey, take it easy!" Sonic yelled

"Yeah! That really hurt!" Caleb exclaimed

"My apologies, O, Masters. But now, the contract has been sealed" Shahra said

"Contract?" Sonic and Caleb asked

"Yes. As masters of the ring, I am now bound to protect both of you. Now, rub the ring." Shahra explained

Sonic and Caleb rubbed the ring they both had.

"Like... like this?" Sonic and Caleb asked in unison

Smoke soon appeared then after it vanishes, Shahra appeared. That was a cool entrance.

"O, Masters of the ring, what are thy wishes?" Shahra asked

"Achoo! Achoo! How about a handkerchief for starters! Make that a few!" Sonic said

"And for me, nothing for right now." Caleb added in

Sonic soon got buried in handkerchiefs, leaving only Sonic's head out.

"Thanks! You're a lifesaver! You see, I caught this cold, yesterday, and..." Sonic started to say

"You're no help Sonic" Caleb said

"Please, be serious!" Shahra added in while yelling at Sonic

"Am I the only one here that's serious about this being a dangerous quest?" Caleb finished adding in

"Okay, okay! Thanks for the hankies, thought" Sonic thanked Shahra

"Oh, please, someone tell me this isn't really happening..." Shahra said

"Alright... let's go! Take Caleb and me to this world of the Arabian Nights!" Sonic wished

"As you wish, Master!" Shahra bowed

"Quit it, will you! My name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic told Shahra

"And my name is Caleb" Caleb added in with Sonic's statement

"Very well, then, Sonic... the Legendary Hedgehog and Caleb, the Legendary Humanoid Hedgehog. Here we go! Into the world of the Arabian Nights!" Shahra quickly stated

"OK!" Sonic and Caleb spoke in union again

Shahra made a magic carpet appear out of thin air.

"Now THIS is first-class! Here we go!" Sonic said

"I agree Sonic since this is WAY past cool" Caleb added in

Sonic, Shahra and Caleb entered the book and the book closed.

Done and Done! Only took me two days to write this first chapter out. Can't you believe that but anyways, please review and until next time, I'm Detroid434, saying I Heart You, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
