DISCLAIMER!! don't own anything except my OC.
This is my first fic, so please no fire-elements or flaming.
I know that the story may look like a bunch of paragraphs with little or no dialogue, but I assure you that there are some… I will put those dialogues in BOLD for your convenience.
It was a peaceful day in Westopolis, seemed like nothing could go wrong for a long time. Our hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, was busy running around town without any reason. Out of the corner of one of his eyes, he spotted Shadow the Hedgehog keeping up with the blue blur. Sonic took this as a challenge and sped off racing the darker anthro.
Meanwhile, in the middle of space near the lone planet of Pluto, a space pod was heading towards the Earth at an alarming speed. The strange thing is that it's traversing slightly off path, a little ways to the left. Even stranger is that the pilot of the pod KNEW about this and used Pluto's planetal gravitation to "slingshot" back into Earth's direction, but at a much, MUCH faster pace. Seems like the navigation systems of this strange ship knows a lot about space traveling and tricks to get around quickly.
Back on our beloved planet, Sonic and Shadow were just about to finish their little "race" when they suddenly spotted Eggman near the city limits. To their surprise, he didn't come with any robotic bodyguards, no tricks up his sleeve, or anything dangerous at all! Our two favorite hedgehogs decided to put their race on hold and investigate. "What do you think Eggman is up to this time, Shadow?" Sonic questioned his rival. Shadow responded, "Not sure this time, but he doesn't look like he's got anything to throw at anyone… we should probably spy on him for a while." Our favorite hedgehogs did just that without another word.
Somewhere in Centropolis, Amy Rose was wandering around looking for something to give to Sonic that might make him take some time to spend with Amy. After looking for days on end, combing through every store she went to, she finally decided to call it quits after searching for a week. She sighed and left towards Westopolis, but as she reached the city limits of Centropolis, she noticed an antique store to the left of one of the buildings. Amy looked at it curiously, then thought out loud, "How come I never noticed this store here before?" She thought for a minute, then decided to just enter the store.
Inside the antique shop, was an array of nicknacks, gadgets, and even jewelry of things that Amy had never seen before. Some of the antiques she noticed were unusual, funny-looking, and even beautiful to look at. She then heard the store owner come in from the back door. The store owner was a man who looked like he was about seventy years old, gray beard and mustache on his face. He wore a red jacked with green cargo pants. He also wore glasses that looked like they had a black tint. "Welcome to my store" He greeted. "You are the first customer I had in weeks! Take a look around my store and tell me if there's anything you find fascinating. I may not look it, but I've spent most of my life researching and studying all the things you see here in my shop." He said with pride. Amy felt a little weird when the store owner spoke with that kind of enthusiasm, but shrugged off that feeling. She asked, "Do you have anything that might impress Sonic the Hedgehog? I've been trying to get him to spend some time with me". The old store clerk thought for a moment, then spoke "I don't have a lot that impresses others, but I just recently found some artifacts that don't look like they came from this world. I haven't finished studying this new doohickey, but I'm sure someone might know what it is or what it does. Follow me and I'll show you". With that, he motioned for Amy to follow him through the back door he came in from.
One of the things that caught her attention the moment she passed through the door, was a huge gemstone that looked like a chaos emerald. It looked like one of the seven stones that Sonic had used in his adventures, but this one in the store was the size of the master emerald, but red in color. "What's that?" Amy inquired, pointing at the huge gemstone she took notice of. The old man replied, "I don't know much about that gem, not even my friends know much, but I'm still studying it. The only thing I know about it so far, is that it looks like the master emerald that your friend, Knuckles, guards. Other than that, it's exactly the same, but different color". Amy thought to herself, "I bet Knuckles would probably buy that in a heartbeat if he saw it".
Somewhere else in the city, Espio was quietly meditating outside his home that he used as the home base for the team he was a part of, TEAM CHAOTIX. He was outside for what seemed like hours when he decided to head back inside. Sitting at the desk was his "boss" listening to his headphones swinging his tail left and right in synch with the music he's listening to. The "boss" is a huge crocodile with a gold chain thing around his neck. He goes by the name of Vector, and is the muscle of the group. In another part of the room, a bee was playing around in a little atrium that he built during his spare time whenever there wasn't any work to do. His name was Charmy bee. They weren't doing anything except waiting for work
Back to the space pod, the mysterious pilot was passing Saturn in hopes to reach the Earth quickly. The space pod itself looked like Vegeta's space pod, but much bigger. The pilot of this mysterious space craft was a hedgehog. He opened his eyes after sleeping for a LONG time, and checked his navigation systems.
He spoke, "Computer, are there any planets nearby that can support me to inhabit?" The computer scanned the sector they were in, and came across the Earth as an inhabital planet. He smirked at the result, and then said, "Perfect".
A normal day in Mobius… maybe not with eggman approaching Westopolis seemingly unarmed and harmless, but what could he be hiding. Who is this mysterious pilot and why does he seem interested in landing on Earth? Stay tuned for the next chapter of: The Rise of Ozone, Defender of Peace! Already working on Chapter 2, but this chapter is the start of the story, so no real big events are happening yet.
