"Sonic don't leave me!"
Chris called out to his best friend that was leaving back to his own dimension. "I'll see ya later Chris, I gotta fly!" sonic said with a happy tone. And with that sonic walked into the portal and disappeared.
Four years later.
"Chris don't be late for high school, its your first day." Ella called out "I know Ella, I'm going now." Chris replied as he walked out the front door. He was being driven by Tanaka to school when he saw a group of thugs beating on a old man. Chris got out of the car and shouted "Hey! What do you think your doing!?"
He ran over and kicked one in the face and then bent down as the one behind him tried stabbing at him with a knife. WHAM, BAM and smash, all three of the thugs were down for the count. Tanaka rushed over after finding somewhere to park "Master Thorndyke I would like to advise that you not do something so reckless again, lest you be hurt."
"I know Tanaka, but I'm not going to leave a person in need...Sonic taught me that." "I understand Master Thorndyke. Let me call the police to get rid of these hooligans." "OK you do that, I'm going to run the rest of the way to school! Later Tanaka" Chris called out as he started running. He turned around and noticed the old man whom he had just attempted to save was no longer there.
He wondered what sonic was doing right now. I bet hes enjoying all the open space. Chris thought, there is probably more space than was here. Humph knowing him hes probably sitting under a tree eating an apple. Chris was brought out of his thoughts when he realized he was nowhere near school, he was in a elevator about the size of his bedroom, with a very large clock on the far wall. A man with a very large noes sat in a chair on the other side of the small table in the room, a woman stood to his left.
"Where am I?" Chris asked. "Welcome to the velvet room, we have been expecting you" the man spoke softly "you have been brought here because you saved my life and in return I will give you what your heart most desires." "Who are you?" Chris asked "ah, pardon my late introduction. I am Igor".
Igor placed a card on the table "take this card and use it when you feel the time is right, it will grant you what you truly want." and with that the clock in the elevator started going faster and faster and suddenly there was a bright light, and Chris was all of a sudden in his classroom, Frances and Helen staring at him "hello, anybody home?" Frances said.
"ah...ahhhhh!" Chris screamed as he fell over in his chair, both the girls giggled. "ha ha very funny you guys"
Chris said sarcastically as he stood up and fixed his uniform "wheres Danny?" Chris asked. "Well you haven't spoken to use since sonic left, of course you wouldn't know" Helen said. "know what?" Chris asked. "Well he may not have been all that bright before, but while you were all mopey he was studying...hes in his second year of collage now."
Chris was dumbstruck, his best friend was now in collage at the age of 15. "wow." was all Chris said. "Anyway its good to see you guys again, its been way to long." "well were happy to see you again to. bu--." Frances was cut off as the first bell began, warning students to get to there respective classrooms "darn, come on Helen we better go." Frances said as she headed towards the door.
Helen was saying something else to Chris, "I know that you miss sonic, we all do. But I think you should lighten up some." Helen said as she walked over and gave Chris a kiss on the cheek. "Danny wants to see you sometime,I'll give you his number later, I gotta get to class."
And with that Helen walked out of the Chris's classroom. Chris's first thought was, 'I wonder if Danny will ever forgive me.' his second thought was: when did she get her legs fixed? The day ended peacefully and Chris was on his way to go meet Danny whom had sent him a text and told him to meet him at his university. It was winter and the days were getting shorter, the street lights were already on and it was mostly pitch black.
Tic. Tac. Tic. Tac. The sound of Chris's shoes hitting the hard pavement was the only sound that could be heard on his walk to the university "ahhhh!." came a womans cry from the distance. Chris rushed ahead without thinking and when he reached the woman there was a large monster with claws on all its fingers, spikes on its head, and his mouth...was something Chris couldn't describe. "Hurry run away!" Chris said in a panicked tone. The woman nodded hurriedly before running off. but as she ran i noticed her blonde hair and blue dress. like she came straight from a picture.
he was cut from his thoughts by the monster standing in front of him screaming something.
"You foul human! How dare you take away my meal, you shall pay!" the monster screamed as it lunged forward. It was incredibly fast, and the gap between them was very quickly closing. I'm going to die here aren't I? Chris thought, all I wanted was to see you, one last time. "SONIC!!!"Chris screamed, as he remembered the words from Igor "take this card and use it when you feel the time is right, it will grant you what you truly want."
and the card in Chris's pocket flew out and into the air making a shield around Chris, the monster was blown away and disgruntled. In a flash of light a familiar blue form appeared from the card.
It was the one person Chris thought he would never see again,his best friend.
Sonic the hedgehog.
