After the explosion, Sonic wakes up in pure fear. Exasperated, and out of breath. Sonic wakes up in an alley, in the middle of the night. It looks like he's on a city, but one he has never seen before.
Sonic: Where am I? My head hurts... (Sonic gets up from the ground and cleans his fur, which is covered in dirt) Man, I don't remember anything that happened. Eggman's fortress exploded because of the Chaos Control and... everything went white... (Sonic looks around, confused) What is this place? (screams) Tails? Knuckles? Amy? Shadow? Where are you guys?
Sonic hears a bottle fall down to the floor. He hears steps and sees shadows, getting closer and closer.
?: Who's there?
?: Is it you, Bats?
Sonic: Who's "Bats"?!
?: He doesn't sound like Batman.
?: Who cares? This punk will suffer!
The shadowy figures emerge from the darkness. The light of the moon shows their true forms. They are thugs.
Thug 1: You've chosen the wrong place of Gotham City to be, punk!
Thug 2: Let's show this- What the fuck is that?!
Thug 1: What is that thing?
Sonic: (thinking) They look like Eggman. Are they humans?
Thug 3: It looks like... a giant hedgehog?
Thug 2: A giant blue hedgehog? What is this? Is this one of Scarecrow's hallucinations?
Sonic: (thinking) What are they talking about? Who is "Scarecrow"? This place is called "Gotham City"? Never heard of it.
Thug 4: It doesn't matter! (picks crowbar) Whatever this is, it must be very valuable in the black market!
Thug 2: Yeah! (picks a baseball bat) this short... thing... will not harm us!
Thug 1: (picks knife) Yeah. Prepare to die, "blue"!
Sonic: (thinking) Oh boy... Here we go...
The thugs jump on Sonic and try to grab him, but when they get up, Sonic's nowhere to be seen. Then, they hear a whistle coming from the top of a building. All the thugs look up.
Sonic: I'm sorry, I'm too fast for you guys?
Thug 1: What the... How did he get there?!
Sonic jumps down and prepares to fight the thugs. The first thug tries to stab Sonic, but Sonic gets behind them real quick and kicks him out. The second and third thug try to attack Sonic, but Sonic dodges them. He begins to play with them, dodging their attacks.
Thug 2: This guy give The Flash a run for his money!
Sonic: My turn, punks!
Sonic kicks them with his really fast shadow kick. They are no match to Sonic's super speed. The fourth thug tries to beat Sonic. Like before, he begins playing with him. Sonic runs in circles around him, breaking the sound barrier and destroying the thug's ears, leaving him deaf. The other thugs run away in despair. When Sonic thinks his job is done, another group of thugs appear, with guns. They all shoot Sonic. But Sonic has one more trick up his sleeve, he activates his real power. He uses his Chaos Energy to go so fast that time freezes.
Sonic: Look at that! If you blink, you might lose it!
Sonic dodges all the bullets, knocking them down. Then, he beats all the thugs, one by one. When he stops using his power, all the thugs fall down. They all run away, but Sonic grabs the leg of a thug and hold him by his shirt, close to Sonic's face.
Sonic: I'm tired of your games! Tell me, where am I?!
Thug 5: Stupid son of a bitch.
Sonic: I'll repeat this just once. Tell. Me. Where. Am. I!
Thug 5: You're a foreigner, right? You're in Gotham City.
Sonic: Where is located this "Gotham City"?
Thug 5: In the US of A, asshole.
Sonic: One more question. Who is this "Bats"?
Thug 5: He's the "hero that Gotham needs". He's just a real asshole pretending to be a justice man.
Sonic: Thank you! (releases thug)
The thug runs away. Sonic takes a deep breath and tries to comprehend the situation.
Sonic: (thinking) What is this place called "Gotham City"? How did I get here? I think I'm not in Mobius... and... where are the others? Are they here too? Or... did they die? (Sonic closes his eyes for a brief moment, and then re-opens them again) Well, I'm not going to figure that out if I stay in here. Where do I go next?
?: He's there!
Sonic: Huh?
From the shadows, policemen appear.
Cop 1: The thugs were here, where are- What is that?
Cop 2: Careful! He may be one of Joker's toys!
Sonic: (thinking) Great. Now they're talking about someone named "Joker"? And... Great in two bites! More guys to play with.
Cop 1: All right. I'm thinking shoot first, ask questions later.
Cop 2: Fine with me. Pistols!
The cops shoot Sonic, but Sonic dodges the bullets and knock down the two cops. When Sonic leaves the alley, he sees a big wall of police cruisers and cops pointing guns at Sonic.
Cop with the megaphone: All right, whatever you are, put your hands in the air or else, we'll fire!
Sonic: (Sonic blinks and smiles) Oh yeah! This is happening!
Sonic runs in circles around the cruisers and he disarms all the cops.
All cops: What the...?
Sonic: (holding the guns) Looking for those? (laughs)
Sonic runs away in a second. Disappearing into the city.
Cop: (picks radio) Attention to all units! We have a suspect running down the heart of Gotham City's streets. He looks like a giant blue hedgehog. He's 3.28'' tall. He also looks like a furry in a fursuit. Capture him!
Sonic begins to run through the heart of Gotham City's streets, when he sees the police cruisers chasing him, he picks a sign and uses it as a skate in the slope. Sonic uses the sign to run away from the cruisers. When he thinks he's okay, he sees another wall of police cruisers. Sonic jumps off the sign and runs, breaking the barrier of sound. When he gets close to the cruisers, he jumps, flying away like a rocket. When he flies away, the lightbulbs explode and the cars start to alarm.
Cop: Damn it! (Activates the radio) Commissioner Gordon, the suspect has run away!
Commissioner Gordon: What you mean "he has run away"?
Cop: He's really fast! I think we need his help!
In the police department...Commissioner Gordon: Affirmative. We'll ask for his help. (deactivates radio) Turn on the lantern! We need Batman!
The cops on the roof turn on the lantern and point the Bat-sign to the clouds.
Meanwhile, in the Bat-cave...On the Bat-cave, Bruce Wayne is using his computer, monitoring the streets of Gotham City. Alfred, his loyal butler, gets close to Bruce.
Alfred: Master Bruce, the Gotham City Police Department is requesting you help.
Bruce: What is happening?
Alfred: A blue unidentified creature with incredible speed and resembling a giant blue hedgehog is creating havoc in the Gotham City streets.
Bruce: Wait, what? Can you repeat that?
Alfred: That's what Commissioner Gordon said. A blue unidentified creature with incredible speed and resembling a giant blue hedgehog is creating havoc in the Gotham City streets.
Bruce: I've never heard of this sort of "creature"…
Alfred: Will you do something about it, Master Bruce?
Bruce: Yes. Great. Time to stop this thing. Go get my suit and call Robin, Alfred.
