Chapter 1-Awakening and Realization
(Please note that this, like in the original SMD, is told from Sonic's POV like he is telling the story for any new people who don't get it. I had a bit of confusion in my early days writing this fic so I thought I'd clear that up.)
Oh man does my head hurt from that rush! O.K let me recap: I was fighting ol' Eggman before he had the chance to rule the world and just when I think he'd had it, he took out that huge laser cannon to finish me off! I braced myself but was saved by a bright light and a jackal-kike creature that came with it! He told me that I had a mission in another world before I was teleported and blacked out!
"Hey, I think he's coming around!"
Wait a tick…a voice? Who's voice is that? It sure doesn't sound like Tails or Knuckles.
"Well give him some room you big lug!" O.K I now know for sure that he's not alone, even as I wake up to see a green dino thing, an orange dragon with his tail on fire, and some sort of yellow cat like thing holding spoons!
Now if anyone had been in this sort of situation will know to do one of two things:
#1 Try to sleep more as you think it's a dream.
#2 Jump in surprise and confusion.
I did the second option onto a wall as I shouted, "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?"
The dragon jumped back with his arms in the air and soon said something that confuses me. "Easy there little Riolu, we're not going to hurt you!"
I landed back down onto the bed and looked at him in as if to correct him until the cat creature showed me to a large mirror and I soon saw what a Riolu was, and it was me! I became a blue jackal-like creature that stood on hind legs which were black as well as the single-dreadlocked mask on my face, my arms and my torso. My tail became longer, wider and had a bent in it and I had a cream collar for a neck. I noticed that my eyes were still green, thankfully, but I was stumped as anything as I brought a paw to my face.
"What happened to me?" I asked, voicing my thoughts. "Why aren't I a hedgehog anymore?"
I soon heard a laugh of disbelief and the green creature soon said, "You were a hedgehog? Then if you were, then I was a mountain!"
Both of his partners soon glared with me at that comment and the dragon soon replied for all of us, snapping in the frustration I was feeling. "Can it Tyranitar!"
Tyranitar flinched at the tone. "Hey take it easy! I was only kidding around!"
The cat creature soon sighed at this. "Charizard is right. You were being more insulting than funny."
He soon looked defeated, knowing he was in the wrong. "O.K you're right Alakazam. Sorry err…"
I soon realized I didn't introduce myself. Oops! "My name's Sonic!"
Suddenly I saw I was glowing and got a bit scared until Alakazam calmly exclaimed it was only my aura, or spiritual life force, and as a Riolu it shows whenever I was scared or upset by anything. Obviously it makes total sense considering the situation that anyone can be upset when they woke up in a totally different form in a completely different world!
"I guess waking up in a completely different body with no idea on what's going on or where the person is can upset anyone. And who are you guys exactly?"
"Since you already know our names, I still feel a more proper introduction is in order. As you may know my name is Alakazam and these two are my Rescue Team Members Charizard and Tyranitar. We are known as Team ACT."
"Rescue Team?" I asked, more out of curiosity this time.
"Basically we're a team that help other Pokemon," Charizard answered this time. "We take on various jobs that others have to help keep the peace. For example, one of the local kids Caterpie, which is a small green caterpillar-like Pokemon, noticed you out cold in Tiny Woods so I flew over and brought you back here so you could recover!"
"I see," I replied, now getting it and thinking of some of the stuff I did back home.
"How'd you wind up there anyway?" Tyranitar asked which caught me off guard so I tried to think about it, but it only got me a headache as I shook my head showing I didn't know.
Alakazam caught on. "Why not we let him rest for now and later we can see what we can find out or help him with.
Thinking that it was a good idea that his team mates agreed with, I decided to go out for some air before Tyranitar bombarded me with even more questions. I saw the outside of the base looked kinda like Alakazam but in a way it didn't since it looked like a yellow cat with closed eyes. I laid down onto the grass and looked up to the clouds, wondering what the heck happened to me and do my friends know that I'm gone?
I guess I'll have to find out.

Author's Notes:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! (Or whatever other holiday you celebrate.) I decided to get this thing up early in case I'm not on for one reason or another.
Anywhoo after like MONTHS from my prologue I decided to make this first chapter the Christmas present for everyone this year on both DA and FF and I know you all have been waiting ever so patiently for this and didn't bug the heck outta me so you made Santa's good list this year for that! 3
So most of this is pretty much the same from the old version, except not in script form! And I added that note at the top to clear confusion from my old SA days.
Enjoy, leave comments, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 2012!
