This is just a one-off with Sonic and Soler just something I've had in my head for a while. Hope you enjoy!
Two streaks, one white and one blue, ran across a plain at speeds no human or vehicle could ever reach.
"Come on, Sonic! We need to get back the city, man." The white hedgehog said.
"Yeah I know, Soler. But hey, let's at least enjoy this run. I mean, we haven't been out here in a long time." The blue hedgehog named Sonic replied. Soler sighed.
"Fine, man. But you know this means we probably won't be back till nightfall." He responded.
"Yeah yeah, I know that. Let's just enjoy this run, okay?" Sonic said, and the two lessened their pace to enjoy the scenery. As the two ran, gray and ominous clouds rolled in over the plains, coming closer and closer. Soler noticed the clouds coming in and sighed.
"Welp, looks like we're gonna get rained on." He said, unamused. Sonic only shrugged.
"A little rain's never hurt anyone. Besides, it'd be cool to run through the rain." Sonic replied, sounding almost excited about the rain.
This coming from the hedgehog who hates water. Soler brooded. As the clouds grew closer, they seemed to cover the the entirety of the plains by the time it reached them. They could hear thunder rumble through the clouds, powerful and majestic. The thundering sounded like it was coming from everywhere simultaneously, the clouds darkening Just then, the rain finally started to come down on the two hedgehogs, drenching them.
"Welp, here's the rain you wanted so much." Soler commented sarcastically. When his blue counterpart didn't respond, Soler looked over and deadpanned when he saw the hedgehog with his mouth open, trying to catch the rain in his mouth. "How old are you again?"
"Old enough to enjoy the rain." Sonic remarked cheerfully. Soler chuckled with a shake of his head.
"Well, let's just get through this rain. It looks like it might get worse." Soler said as he eye-balled the darker clouds rolling in. The two continued their run as the rain came down. The light translucent rain turned into a straight downpour of heavy drops with a series of loud thundering.
"Well, is this what you wanted?" Soler asked.
"Well this may be a little much, but we can handle it." Sonic responded. Soler only shook his head.
Why do I have a bad feeling that this storm is only going to get worse? Way worse… The white hedgehog worried when lightning struck the ground with a force to be reckoned with, raw power at its greatest. Lighting strikes began to come down even more frequently, visible even in the distance. Before either hedgehog could react, the wind picked up as it blew the rain with strength, compelling the two hedgehogs to shield their eyes. The almost deafening wind howled in rage, drowning out all other sound.
"Okay, that's it. We need to find shelter!" Soler tried to shout over the wind.
"Yeah, this storm seems to be only getting worse." Sonic admitted, "But I don't see any place around here. All I see is flatland." Soler scanned the area as best he could with the rain blowing into his face, and spotted what appeared to be a little town in the distance.
"Hey! I think there's something over there!" He yelled to Sonic, who looked over to where he was pointing.
"Yeah, let's… Oh no." He muttered, his eyes widening in horror. Soler looked back to where he was looking, gaining the same expression upon seeing the sight.
"Oh god." He mumbled. The two stopped and watched as a tornado formed a few miles from the town. Its tail touched the ground and began ripping it apart. As the tornado traveled, it grew much larger than from it first touched the ground. While the tornado effortlessly picked a massive boulder it passed over on its way to the town, the two watched in utter shock.
"Dude! The way that tornado picked up the boulder with ease says that it's an EF5" Soler said.
"I'm guessing that's not good?" Sonic questioned.
"Not good? More like the worse thing that could happen! An EF5 class tornado has wind speeds beyond 200 mph. It's strong enough to rip houses and buildings down to their framework. Hell, it can pick up things heavier than that boulder and hurl them over a mile away!' He exclaimed.
"Okay, so it's bad. But what can we do to stop it?" Sonic asked.
"There's nothing we can do!" Soler cried out.
"Well that thing is heading right for that town, and we're not just going to sit here and not try to help. So let's go!" Sonic said as he boomed off and towards the town. Soler stood there for a moment more, watching the tornado grow increasingly gargantuan in size.
"Luna, watch over me." He whispered, dashing off.
Into the storm…
