Me: Hey, guys, here's the second chapter to Sonic Unleashed Retold. Good news, I finally got the Nintendo Switch.

Sonic: That's great. How is it?

Me: It's as great as people say. I even got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Elise: Cool. I have seen gameplay for that. You get to play as the Inkling Boy and Girl from Splatoon, is that right?

Me: Yes. Speaking of Splatoon, its sequel is coming next month. I'm hoping to buy that. Anyway, here's the first chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Nelly and Ashton jumped out of the portal and found themselves where Sonic lands after Eggman launched him away. Suddenly, Nelly got a strange feeling in her chest and the gem glowed purple. Nelly began to transform. Her arms grew bigger and more muscular, her body grew wider, her skin turned into shaggy fur and her teeth became fangs. Then Nelly heard Sonic and Elise yelling as they both fell. Elise's head was safe but Sonic was stuck, so Elise pulled him out. Elise looked different. She became a hedgehog but her eyes were red instead of blue, she wore a red dress with a black cape and she had fangs.
"What the heck is going on?" Sonic roared.
"Nelly? Is that you? And who is that with you," Elise asked, her voice also menacing like Sonic's.
"Yeah, it's me. This is my cousin, Ashton, the one who got me my ocarina," Nelly said.
"What happened to you two?" Ashton asked.
"We were fighting Eggman up in space, but he awoken a creature from beneath the core," Sonic said.
"Then we both became these strange monsters," Elise said. "Huh? What is that?" Sonic spotted what Elise pointed out. It was a strange creature. It had red fur, big ears, a white chest and a strange orb on its neck. Sonic tried to wake the creature up. When the creature woke up, he yelled and ran off.
"Don't eat me, I taste bad!" the creature replied.
"You OK? Nothing broken?" Sonic asked.
"Oh! I'm just fine," the creature said. "Thanks for asking, strange monster creatures."
"Oh, we're sorry, something happened to us becoming these monsters," Elise said.
"That's OK. What you're names anyway?" the creature asked.
"I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," Sonic said, giving a thumbs up.
"And I'm Sonic's girlfriend, Princess Elise the Third, you may call me Elise," Elise said.
"We're their allies, my name is Nelly Powers," Nelly said.
"And I'm her cousin, Ashton," Ashton said. "And you are?" The creature thought, but he couldn't remember anything, not even his name. So Sonic, Elise, Nelly and Ashton made a promise to get his memory back. When the sun came up, Sonic, Elise and Nelly returned to normal. Elise was red haired hedgehog with blue eyes, very much like her human form. As the team went to town, Nelly explained in her last adventure. Elise also explained why she is a hedgehog. She traveled to Sonic's world and got that transformation, but can still become human when she travels back to Soleanna, that's why she is still considered the princess. When the team got to town, Sonic and Elise were confused what happened back there.
"What do you figure that was all about? The hair, and those arms and...and look at the Chaos Emeralds," Sonic said.
"So, is this what you usually look like?" the creature asked.
"Yeah, this is the real us," Elise said. "Pretty cool, huh? Huh? Where'd you go?" The creature was gazing at ice cream at an ice cream stand. The heroes tried to get the creature's attention until he finally came with five ice cream cones.
"Wow! This chip-whatever stuff is great," the creature said.
"If you say so. How about we go looking around for someone who knows you, Chip," Sonic said.
"Chip?" the creature asked, curiously.
"Gotta call you something, don't we?" Elise asked. "What do you think?"
"Yeah, Chip! Chip! I love it! Yum!" Chip said. So the heroes went to look for clues. They went inside the first temple. That night, Chip was disappointed.
"Hm. Still no luck finding anyone who knows me," Chip said.
"Don't worry about it," Nelly said. "Maybe you're memory will come back on its own. Remember anything yet?"
"Um...nope," Chip said, nodding.
"Oh well," Ashton mumbled. When the sun came down, Sonic, Elise and Nelly both got a strange feeling again and Nelly's gem glowed purple again. Finally, the heroes returned to their beast forms from the previous night. Once again, Ashton was immune to the transformation.
"Whoa! The strange monster creatures are back," Chip said.
"So when the sub goes down...we turn into these monsters?" Sonic asked.
"Are you OK, Sonic and Elise?" Chip asked.
"We're fine. We just need to be careful sees us like this," Elise rasped. The heroes saw the ice cream guy crying and saying there's no hope. Chip tried to cheer the ice cream man up, but the ice cream he held almost fell until Sonic's arm stretched and grabbed the ice cream. This amazed Elise and wondered about her powers. Then one of the citizens told the heroes that a fox and a blind hedgehog were looking for them, but they ran off into entrance stage and never came back. Nelly recognized the description, it was Tails and Gage. So the team went into the entrance stage to find Tails and Gage. Finally, the team got to where Tails would be, and it was true, Gage was there, too. So the team fought the enemies. It turns out Elise had a lot of abilities, unlike her human form where she creates a shield. Like all vampires, which Elise was, Elise can bite enemies with her fangs and she gained strength and the ability to become a vampire bat. After the battle, Tails and Gage saw the team.
"Hey, Tails. Hey, Gage," Sonic said.
"Sonic? Elise?" Tails asked.
"Nelly? Are you there, too?" Gage asked.
"What are you two doing out here?" Nelly asked.
"Sonic? Elise? Nelly? Is that really you?" Tails asked and flew by with Gage. "That's a new look."
"What happened?" Gage asked.
"You know us, not a dull moment," Elise said, smiling.
"Want some chocolate?" Chip asked.
"Uh...thanks," Tails said. Gage got some, too. The heroes explained what happened. Tails and Gage thought of it strange that they transform at night. Tails and Gage said one person could help, Professor Pickles who teaches archeology at Spagonia University. Tails and Gage came to Apotos to gather some data, so adding that to the research findings could lead to a clue.
"We also have a new ally, she's a good friend of mine," Gage said.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Sonic said. "Her name is Emilie." So the team used the Tornado-1 to fly to Spagonia.

Me: Well, that's the first chapter. Perfect timing, too, today is the 26th Anniversary of the day the first Sonic game came out. AKA, Sonic's birthday as people nicknamed it. Happy birthday, Sonic.

Sonic: Thanks, Emilie.

Me: You're welcome.

Elise: Also, in the M and S Show, it's our wedding anniversary.

Me: Exactly. In fact, I made that video for Sonic's 25th birthday. I really had fun making that video. Anyway, don't forget to review.
