Chapter 1 - Arrival
Green Hill Zone, a paradise land with green fields and remarkable blue lakes and seas. Obstacles and golden rings left and right, roundabouts here and there, and an endless army of Badniks needing bot-butts to be kicked. Luckily for the world, there's only one certain hedgehog who'd be the one kicking Badniks to next week, and that certain hedgehog you would say is me. The fastest and most awesome blue hedgehog in Mobius. You can call me Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. I usually like spindashing on certain Badnik's badniks, but to me beating down badniks is like a 24/7 thing, both because I do it for fun and because I always think to myself, if nobody's going to clean this mess themselves, then give me a call and I might as well be there before you can say Chili cheese dogs.
Anyways, onto the real stuff before I become as smart as an evil scientist, that shows up at my face, obviously on another one of his show off, and simple, giant robots with drills and rolling balls covered with spikes on the outside. "Did you miss me Sonic?" Eggman's first words to me were.
"What's this Dr. Egghead?" I love giving Dr. Eggman that nickname, because why not give him silly nicknames just for fun? I mean he's a big evil scientist, literally. "Another one of your 'friendly' robots you created?" I faced towards the giant robot, "Well I'll be sure to give it a warm welcoming, greet it with my friends, and then give it a tour sometime."
"Foolish hedgehog, when I am finished with you, I'll make sure this creation will be the one giving you a welcoming that will bring a goodbye to you and your friends instead," Eggman insulted, but in a very misunderstanding manner. "Say hello to the Razorbot 1000!"
The Razorbot struck, but I ran in front while it continued to chase me. I just turned around and decided to toy with the bot. "Ah Razorbot, that's a really catchy name, and you want to know what my name is?" I jumped off a wall and landed on top the the badnik's head, then leaning where I'm face to face it the robot, "Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog. See now we're both starting to get to know each other." From behind, one of Razor's arms transformed to a massive saw blade, and of course, it thinks it can hit me. Instead, I backflipped, easily dodging the blades, making the robot cut down his own head. "Oh I'm sorry, are you hurt? I thought you needed a slight trim on that spot I stood on."
"Idiotic rat," I heard Eggman call out from outside of the battle, "Not only does my Razorbot-"
"Hold that thought," I interrupted him, "This thing needs another trim on his shoulder." I casually started running on the big bot's arm to his shoulder, and then I began waving my arms to get its attention. "Hey! I think you missed a spot over here!" Instead of the robot's arm to hit me with the saw blade, the arm transformed into a flamethrower. "Whoa there, I didn't think you were feeling that cold, you really want to heat things up a bit?" Fire blazed, but I jumped backwards to his half-sliced head, allowing the bot to burn its own arm, until it aimed the flamethrower to his head, as I jumped out of the way. "Alright, let's speed it up then," I crouched and began to form a spindash. By then, I was rolling at full speed, bumping the Razorbot to make it trip and fall over. "Timber!" I ran out of the way and let the robot hit the floor face first. Finally, I wiped together my hands and turned around to face Eggman, with a smile, "So, what were you trying to say?"
"You really believe this battle is yet to be over Sonic? This game's just getting started." Eggman raised his arm and smack down at a button that was in front of him.
Strange noises occurred from the robot I was just fighting, and just as I turned my back, the Razorbot's back had a hatch door that abruptly happened to open. Then out of nowhere, a dozen of rolling spike and blade balls began to roll towards me. I attempted to jump over them, but one of them jumped the same time I did, and managed to hit me. I stood back up, but only to get hit from behind by two more spike rollers.
"I believe you have new friends to make, the Buzzers!" Now I know Eggman isn't playing around. "Unstoppable rollers that will automatically follow every movement you try to make. You won't be able to hit them either, I've upgraded them to where they will reach your top speed, and will always detect where you are or where you will go within miles."
I dodged left and right, up and down, back and forth, desperate in trying not to get sliced, but those busters just keep coming. For once Eggman used his brain, but if I'm going to get out of this mess, somehow I have to use mine as well, whether I like it or not. I start off by trying to run from the Buzzers, and then I try finding a gorge where there might be walls tall enough for me to run across on, and water to where the Buzzers might fall down in at the bottom. I can only hope these Buzzers don't roll on walls or isn't waterproof, because if they did, there's no going back for me ever. After searching, I managed to find a deep gorge, and at the other side, there was plenty of ground for me to land on safely so I don't have to worry about falling and drowning in water. "Come and get it Busters!" I ran at full speed, jumped at a wall, and proceeded in running as fast as I could. The Buzzers jumped, nearly trimming my quills, and each Buzzer fell straight down into the water. Before I could even say anything, I jumped on another wall and then onto the edge of the other side of the gorge. I took a peek down to the water to see if any Buzzers were going to roll out of the water. I waited, until all seems to be clear. I was so relieved, until I heard Dr. Eggman growl in frustration as he flew in with his hover mobile.
"This is still not over with you blue rat," Eggman raised his fist in anger, "I will be back, and next time, Next time! I will defeat you and conquer the world!" Next thing he did, was fly away in his hover mobile.
I just shook my head and swiped the bottom of my shoe. "Next time, there's just going to be more butt-kicking for you, and your badniks," I smirked, "And I think I'm going to really enjoy it."
With some time later, I decided to spend a bit of time with my pals back at a house Tails lives at in Station Square. I stepped at the front of the door, rang the doorbell, and casually waited for Tails, my best double-tailed yellow fox friend forever, to answer the door.
When the door opened, I turned my back only to see Knuckles at the door. I was quite surprised to see him at Tails' house at this particular time. "Knucklehead, what's up at this time of day for you?"
"First, don't call me 'Knucklehead,' and second, I'm only here to help Tails with his Tornado." Of course, if there was one person, besides me, that's usually available for Tails, it'd be Knuckles. "Amy, and Shadow are here too."
Funny, not only Knuckles would be here, but Shadow? That red-striped black hedgehog is usually too moody and solitary to be socializing with anyone, unless it's for serious reasons, I should know. "You want to see Tails? He's at the garage with Shadow and Amy," Knuckles pointed to the door where Tails' garage is.
"I know that Red-head," I casually walked passed him towards the garage.
"Don't call me that!" Knuckles called out to me in anger.
"You just said not to call you 'Knucklehead,'" I turned around walking backwards while facing him with a smile, "So I came up with a new nickname, just for you." I turned back to the door and went inside the garage door leaving Knuckles steaming with frustration at the front door. I look around the garage until I saw Tails under his Tornado working.
"Okay, that should do the trick," Tails said to himself, as he slid from under the plane with his toolkit.
"Yo Tails, how's the Tornado doing?" I walked up to him.
"Oh hey Sonic," Tails immediately smiled as he got up, "We're just trying to fix the engines that kept acting up whenever I start the plane. For now we're testing how it works now."
"This should be interesting," I turned to see Shadow come from the back of the plane. "Well well, long time no see faker."
"If it isn't the blue buffoon himself," Shadow crossed his arms facing towards me.
"Haven't seen you in a bit, how've you been?"
"Better before you decided to show up so late in the afternoon," Shadow leaned against the Tornado near the engines.
"Probably because I was pounding Eggman's badniks to next week, and had to dealt with Eggman's buzzers at the end," I could Tails was listening, and at the corner of my eye, he rolled his eyes and continued to fix the other engine on the Tornado.
"I see, and yet your battle with Eggman processed slower than before. I thought you'd be the 'fastest' thing alive," Shadow looked the other way, somehow trying to be proud of his insult.
"Alright you two, let's not have another argument while we're trying to 'calmly' repair Tails' Tornado," Amy stepped in before I could say anything.
"Come on Amy, Shadow and I just love insulting each other," I said sarcastically.
"Precisely," Shadow narrowed his eyes and he turned away.
From the other side of the Tornado, Tails put down his wrench and placed it in his toolbox. "Okay, Amy can you go and turn on the Tornado to see if this works?" Tails called to Amy.
"Okay Tails," Amy called back, as she walked towards the front and hopped on the driver's seat on top.
I took a step backwards away from the Tornado, from the point where Shadow looked at me and wondered why I moved away. As the Tornado started, the propellers started to spin, but out of nowhere, the left engine, where Shadow was standing beside, began to act up and suddenly bursted oil all over Shadow. Amy immediately shut off the Tornado, jumped off of the driver's seat, to see Shadow covered in black oil.
"Oh my goodness, Shadow are you okay?" Amy ran towards Shadow.
Shadow started spitting, gagging, and tried wiping the oil off his face, "What the-! I can't see a thing!"
I laughed so hard from the point I fell on the floor, "Oh Shadow, haha! That was so hilariously awesome!"
Shadow finally wiped oil of his face, and then looked straight at me with the most furious expression he could give me. He stomped towards me and yelled, "You could have told me to move away too!"
"Oh, was I supposed to tell you? I thought you were smart to realize that yourself," I got back up still smiling from laughing so hard, "Looks like I was wrong."
"Why you- Rgh!" Shadow's fists clenched, but I didn't seem to care that much.
"That's weird," Tails came from around the corner, examining the engines, "Where did I go wrong? I'll try fix it again," he said as he went to get his toolbox.
"Aren't you going to something about this?!" Shadow looked at Tails showing he's still covered in oil.
I found a towel on the counter, so I grabbed it and threw it on Shadow's head, "Quit playing drama queen and go clean yourself up if you need to," I walked passed Shadow, as he was still steaming in frustration and anger.
Knuckles came into the garage door with that concerned and cautious expression, "Everyone, Eggman's robots are terrorizing Station Square Park, there's civilians there that needs help."
"There's badniks at the park? That doesn't sound good," Tails commented with the same concerned face Knuckles is giving.
"Sounds like the accurate place to kick ro-butts, I'm on it," I dashed passed the others, but got my arm gripped by Knuckles while I'm running in one spot.
"Hold it Sonic," he let go as I stopped running to turn towards him, "There's a lot more robots than what you think. Take Shadow with you."
"Since when were you the boss of me Knuckles?" I firmly questioned him as I placed my hands to my waist and started tapping my foot.
"I'm only telling you this so you won't end up getting yourself in trouble again," Knuckles leaned closer to my face.
"Just do what Knuckles says Sonic," Amy interrupted while cleaning up the oil on the floor, "Besides it's probably for the best, even for you."
"Alright fine," I turned to Shadow as he just finished wiping all the oil off of him. "Hey Shadow-"
"Yes I'm coming Sonic," Shadow still sounded annoyed at the fact he just got oiled, "Just as long as you don't have to annoy me along the way, because I know how you are."
"Actually, I was about to say you kind of missed a spot on your shoes," I replied to him.
"What? No I didn't," Shadow looked down and checked his shoes. Just as he looked down, I made a quick head start out the front door. I would assume Shadow already looked up to realize I was already gone, and gave that angered face.
"Remind me to beat him down when we're done," Shadow threw the towel on the ground and ran outside trying to catch up to me.
Knuckles spoke to himself leaving me and Shadow to run away to the park, "You're not going to be the only one to kick Sonic's butt."
