Sonic was bored to all hell. He had way too much energy; he couldn't stand still. Who was he, Knuckles? Sonic had begun pacing back and forth, having nothing to do, as he finally, finally had some alone time. And that had made him hate it. He needed stimulation. He hated having nothing to do. He had to do something.
He could go and mess with the old egg, but he hadn't heard diddly squat of him for a while. "Especially since he fled from our last fight". He scowled in annoyance, his fuse growing smaller and smaller.
And then something odd happened. Everything suddenly froze around the blue hedgehog. The grass and the sky highlighted by a slight purple aura. He could only look on in confusion. His mind trying to wrap around the unusual sight.
The ground surrounding his feet then began to light up in a small glow, particles of purple swirling around him, the glow capturing his attention as he was suddenly pulled into the light from underneath. He asked for an adventure and one was given to him. His trials of will had unknowingly begun.
