Can I tell you a story?

Have You every heard of the mobians? Their good people, I have a few friends from their homeland, South Island, a continent southeast of Africa. You know, a long, long time ago, the island was ruled by a Queen mobian. I believe her name was...umm...AH, yes, her name was Aleena, Queen Aleena of South Island. She was kind, beautiful and above all, wise. She ruled over her subjects with love and respect, but had complete intolerance for evildoers. I remember when news spread across the island, when the Queen had given birth to three children, fathered by a fallen knight, whose name she had never disclosed.

Now I'm not one to judge, but she gave them the silliest names. She named her two sons Sonic the Hedgehog and Manic the Hedgehog. She named her daughter Sonia. Hmm...thinking back on that, her daughter was the only one with a real name, heh-heh! Eh, excuse me, I'm easily amused. *ahem* Now, about ten years after the birth of her children, a human man named Ivo Robotnik began to terrorize the South island countryside-

Chapter One: The Green Rolling Hills

"That one looks like a shoe"

Three young hedgehogs laid side by side on the edge of a tall hill, looking up at the clouds, visualizing the shape within.

"No, it looks more like a banana", said the blue one as corrected his brother.

This blue hedgehog. His name Sonic, price of South Island, and he has a gift. He moves as swift as the wind, faster than a car, faster than a jet,

Faster than sound.

"It's definetly a shoe, Sonic", his green furred brother argued.

Brother. His name is Manic, also prince of South Island, and his heart beats to the sound of music. He loves all forms of music, but the sound of drums has always held the key to his affection. He himself is a drummer.

"Will you two shut up!", their sister shouted, "It's obviously a pickle".

This young girl's name is Sonia, and like her brothers, she is also royalty. She is the princess of South Island, and the direct heir to her mother's throne. She is highly intellegent, but not much else can be said about her, for she is just a tad bit...well...brat-ish.

"Pickle?", Manic asked in confusion.

"Yes, a pickle. You'd have to be blind not to see it, but then again maybe you are, Mr. Banana and Mr. Shoe", Sonia said with agitated tone.

"It totally looks like a banana!", Manic shouted.

"Wait maybe it's a sock", Sonic said calmly.

They laughed a bit before searching for another cloud, but while these young children played their game, an unknown entity spied upon them. It scanned them thouroughly, collecting information as they talked. It confirmed their identities, and with a rev of its engine, it lounged and attacked.

"AH, WHAT, NO!", Sonic shouted as this evil creature...lightly bumped into his head.

The three hedgehogs turned around and found themselves looking at the strangest of creatures. It was a giant, robotic ladybug.

"What is this, some kind of toy?", Sonia asked.

Sonic rose to his feet and picked up the robot. He read the label on the side.

"A-001-Motobug, what in the world?..."

"Umm, Sonic..", Manic said in quiet but panicked tone.

"Wassup?", his brother asked.

Manic pointed to the horizon. "There's more".
