Okay, this is a story I've basically been thinking on for a while now. It's gonna crossover a number of series, basically some of my old favourites. This is rated T but it might increase in later chapters. There also MIGHT be lemons in the future, but I'm not sure.

Joe the Hedgehog is copyrighted to me, Nexus is copyrighted to a friend of mine. Every other character are copyrighted to their respectful owners, I do not own them. And this story is not made for profit in any way.

I hope you enjoy.

UPDATE: Because of the first review I got, I should actually explain a few things.

- It would help to understand the Sonic the Hedgehog and Tales of Vesperia series, aswell as future series that will be in the story. (I will note them when they come up)

- Joe is my character, unfortunately he does not really have a backstory as I am not good at that kind of thing, not to mention it's not easy to think of something original.

- Nexus is a character that a friend of mine owns, he DOES have a backstory and I might explain it in a later chapter to make you understand him better. (Something admittedly I should have done in the first place)

- This is far from a masterpiece and there are much better writers than me, but I'm trying on this. But that doesn't mean I won't accept critque. Anything that'll help me I appreciate.

That is all for now, I hope you enjoy the story. And thank you for your time.

UPDATE 2: To more advice from my first reviewer, I've updated my bio with infortmation about my character Joe, with some explanation about what he's like. I'll get one for Nexus next time my friend is on.

Chapter 1: A Tale Begins

Darkness. All he saw was darkness. But this wasn't a bad darkness. This was a good kind, a very good kind. Lips were pressed together in passion, soft lips pressed onto his own. The darkness was from a pair of closed eyes.

A dream?

It must have been, but he didn't complain. But when he slowly opened one eye to see the lucky person who was showing their passion for him, he couldn't tell who it was. It was a blur, he couldn't pick anything out, only the colour of flesh. But again, who was he to complain?

His eye closed again, accepting this spontaneous kiss.

Hey...

He thought he heard something. Nah, it's a dream. He could just 'dream' it away if he wanted to.

Hey Joe...

His name. Now his interest rose, but again, he paid it no interest. He tried harder now to erase the now slightly louder voice from his mind as he continued his response to the kiss. He wasn't going to have this ruined for him, no way.

"Would you wake up you fucking idiot?"

His eyes sprang wide open and he sat up in an instant. It was a dream... He lifted the shades from his eyes and rubbed them with a yawn, feeling a little... iffy for some odd reason. Different was maybe a better word for it, but he paid it no mind, before he turned to the source of the voice.

"I was enjoying myself there, and you had to go and ruin it didn't you?"

"Right now, I'm not in the mood to hear about your made-up wet dreams. We have a problem." The other one stroked his little indigo goatee a little as he looked at he watched his friend yawn again to wake up faster.

"And what was so important that you had to burst into my room and wake me up? Robots? Demonic creatures? Stupid clones, what?"

His indigo friend let out a sigh. "Do you even know where we are right now?"

"Yes, we're in my room in my apartment where you stayed the night with everyone else. Why is that so important?"

"Open your eyes."

The yellow hedgehog was now confused. "Uh... why? I know what my room looks like. Unless you're naked, then I prefer my sight thanks, I'd rather not lose that gift."

His friend was clearly annoyed now. Hell, he didn't have a clue how his friend didn't even notice this beforehand, he had already opened his eyes once. Was he just stupid after waking up or something? "Just do it god dammit."

"Fine..." He slowly opened them, but this time, paying attention to what he saw. His eyes shut a little in reaction to the sunlight. Wait, sunlight? His bed doesn't point to his window, how is there sunlight in his room? He opened them again, slowly. This wasn't his room, far from it actually. They were... outside?

"How... how did we get outside? I don't remember leaving my..."

His friend interrupted.

"We didn't. Well, we didn't leave it to be outside your place. We apparently left it to a WHOLE OTHER PLANET!"

God, he did not like being shouted at after being woken up. He rubbed his eyes a little to adjust himself. "Alright alright, calm down. We're not on another planet, we're just somewhere other than Station Square. We're bound to find a station or something."

The indigo echidna sighed in annoyance. "You wanna know how I know we're on a different planet? Because I recognise this place."

His friend snorted at him. "Oh really? Alright then Michael Palin, where are we?" He laughed to himself as he wondered if his friend took up drinking all of a sudden.

He pulled the hedgehog up by his collar strap and made him look around. "You've played as many games as me, look at this place. Tell me what it reminds you of."

The hedgehog sighed and looked around. Nice day, clear sky. The rough path they were standing on seemed clear enough. The hills behind them seemed big, aswell as the Halure Tree to the right of them. The grass was green enough to see what the place was taken care pretty we- wait, did he just say the 'Halure Tree to the right of them'? He snapped his head round to look again. His eyes weren't deceiving him; he was looking at the Halure Tree in the distance.

His indigo friend answered for him. "Exactly. Their world."

"How in the fu..."

"I have no idea." He stroked his goatee again. The hedgehog remained confused, he slowly looked around again, taking in all the new sights. And he didn't like it. The yellow hedgehog was freaking out, he was in a video game, away from his friends and everyone else. He checked to see if anything changed on his person. He felt his sword handle on his belt, and his custom-made guns on his back under the jacket. He checked his pockets and pulled out one of his pride and joys; his iPod. "Thank god..."

His indigo friends' eyes rolled as he watched him almost have a panic attack right infront of him. He had already double-checked himself, though he was confused himself as to how they both ended up in this other world.

The hedgehog's eyes widened as he thought of something else. Not this, nothing could have happened to this surely, he'd be ruined if this had changed. He quickly turned around to the puzzlement of the echidna as he then moved his hands to his jeans and held the front of them out a little.

The echidna's eyes widened. He wasn't checking...

"Oh thank god, this is still the same size."

He was... the most pathetic bastard he had ever seen. Because that matters so much right now doesn't it?

"I would've just lost my will to live right then if this regressed..."

"God, I wonder why I deal with you sometimes. I really do."

The hedgehog sighed to himself as he put his hands on his hips and again looked around.

"Okay, so we have somehow been transported to a world we've been playing a game on for the past two years. Everyone else is nowhere to be seen, so we're on our own. And any moment now we could have monsters pop out to attack us, and we have no idea if we can even do anything to them, nor do I know if I can even use my energy here."

The echidna stood next to the yellow hedgehog as he removed his trenchcoat, holding it over his shoulder as it seemed to be getting a bit hotter all of a sudden. "Well, we have few options. There's Halure there, where we could try to get some information, however useless that might seem. And that's if they don't freak out and instantly assume we're monsters as we're walking talking animals."

"And the other option?"

"We go to Capua Nor and just rest at the inn there while we figure out what's happened. Either way, we're gonna risk facing monsters and freaking people out. Not to mention we don't know if this is taking place during the events of the game, or after. Or even before. Hell, could be a whole different timeline for all I know."

The hedgehog sighed to himself. "Halure's a peaceful place, I doubt they'd know much on what to do. Not to mention I think they wouldn't want to have two people like us walking in and asking questions. Might aswell head to Nor, we'll need to see if we can do anything to the monsters anyway. Better to find out now then at the worst possible time."

The echidna grinned as he turned around and started for the harbour. "Let's go then, quicker we get there the better."

The hedgehog took out his headphones and switched a song on his iPod. "Oh, and Nexus?"

His friend turned to him. "Yeah Joe?"

"Fuck you for waking me up."

Nexus snickered. "You're welcome."

The pair headed for the Quoi Woods. This definitely was going to be an experience.

And that's the first chapter. Let me know what you think, I'm uploading quite a number of chapters at once since I've done quite a bit already.

Hope you enjoyed reading everything so far, remember to review if you can.
