Hello Internet. Rick Blaine here. I am (once again) re writeing this. the last rewrite I wasn't completely satisfied with, but I think I have it this time. enjoy
Sonic the Hedgehog was enjoying his favorite sport, running. Running over the seemingly endless world of Earth. The feeling was exhilarating. not just the speed, and the wind, but the sight as well. one minute you see green and blue, than white and gray, and rarely, red and brown. Sonic could never put a flag on his favorite part, simply because he loved it all. but if he had to chose, he would say the feeling of freedom. the world on his feet, the wind in his face. the sparkling in the air- The sparkling in the air? Sonic stopped, and ran in reverse to see what the source of the flashing lights were. Sonic smiled at the sight. it was the chaos zone. the gate between all worlds, and land of the chaos emeralds.
If this gate was opened, than it was inviting the blue hedgehog to claim one of the powerful gems. sonic through himself at the distortion, and was gone. in the blink of an eye sonic had traveled from Mobius, to the chaos zone. Where he had landed was a large spherical structure, with smaller spheres, some red, some blue, lined up in patches. the energy of the place forced sonic to keep running. like in most of the places in the chaos zone, sonic could not stop himself, and if he wanted to get the chaos emerald, he had to unlock certain "doors" which right now meant collecting the blue spheres.
There are two ways to exit the chaos zone. running in to a red door, or touching a Chaos Emerald. the exits in this particular challenge were the red spheres. Sonic dodged left and right until finaly he got his hands on the next to last blue sphere.
He looked over his shoulder at his companion, Miles Prower. This Orange fox was Sonic's closest friend. many including sonic know him as Tails, referring to his quite unusual physical trait: two tails, which he can spin at rapid speeds, allowing him to fly. as well as he ability to fly, Tails was gifted with an IQ of 350 rivaling only Sonic's arch nemesis, Dr. Ivo Robotic. Robotic's large stomach and thin upper body has earned him a nick name of his own, Dr. Eggman.
"last one, how ya holdin up?" Sonic asked Tails.
"I'm ready Sonic!" Miles replied enthusiastically.
Tails pulled from his pocket a small hand held scanner. "According To these readings, the last positive fluctuation is 128 degrees north east from the top of this sphere" Tails informed Sonic
sonic made it to the top of the sphere and, after a brief moment of figuring out which way east is, continued in the direction of his objective. "I see it" Sonic said pointing to a glowing blue orb.
Miles began spinning his tails as he and sonic made their way toward the waiting sphere.
as the two touched the blue sphere, the whole structure opened into a black hole.
They fell for what felt like eternity before they finally saw a white light in the distance. Sonic smiled when he saw the small glowing gem. "You know the drill Tails! Grab it at the same time"
Tails nodded. the two gloved hands came down on the emerald, followed by a bright flash of white.
Sonic got a chaos emerald.
The two landed in a valley surrounded by tall grass. Sonic pulled himself up to see Tails doing the same. "You got it Sonic?" Tails asked Sonic held up the translucent gem "You bet buddy!" He smiled.
"And now, you will give it to me"
Sonic looked to see Shadow, with his usual companion Rouge to his left, and a Chaos emerald in his right hand.
"And you'll give it to me now"
Elsewhere:
Meanwhile, in a Spagonian research and experimental lab, Dr. Ivo Robotnick was standing in front of a capsule. a capsule discovered in a cave nine years ago. The capsule was silver with a glass sealed door. behind it was what looked like a black and blue blob, which appeared to somehow be living. in the previous half hour, Robotnick had broken in, and held the whole place hostage (Through the use of Robots). This was his goal.
a computer screen sprang to life. [input data} it read in an ancient language. Ivo could read it. From his pocket, he pulled two disks. he put in the first one. with a grin, Robotnick watched the screen change from it's directions, to a white background with a picture of Sonic. it then began Analyzing his physical appearance and talents. he then repeated the process with the second disk. it showed Shadow's statistics.
He puled a polished gray handled.
The blob began taking Shape. once it had finished, the now living form stepped from the now open glass door.
"What is your wish my master?" It said
"I am Dr. Ivo robotnick, your creator. We must be quick, take this and get us out of here" The black hedgehog looked at the sparkling green emerald. and simply nodded. He would then do what he was told and not question it. that was how he was born .
