Chapter 1 – In which Sonic meets the Blue Blur
It was just another day on Wave Ocean. The sun had risen in the east and was now shining brightly onto the multicoloured rocks, showing different colours embedded in the usually charcoal black rocks and the sand, the golden grains sparkling too, occasionally being flung into the turquoise sea by the wind. Wave Ocean was the image of peace.
Until the Blue Blur arrived.
The Blue Blur wasn't actually a blue blur - she was a hedgehog, perhaps the fastest hedgehog alive. She circled around Wave Ocean twice, before spinning up into the air, flying straight through one of the many rainbow hoops around the island, and onto the beach.
The blue blur had stopped now, and was seated beside the sea. It was a female, and she was a Hedgehog, staring out into the water and trying to determine how deep the water was, and if there were any crabs underneath the surface. The Hedgehog was terrified of crabs, and water, though she would rather die than admit it. She was brave when it came to anything else, apart from deep water and crabs.
She was beautiful too. Turquoise quills with a strange white flower birthmark on her main quill. Her eyes were dark blue and they contrasted oddly with her quills. She wore a blue top with white shorts and blue and white running shoes. It was obvious what her favourite colours were…
The Hedgehog took off her shoes and left them on the shore, before she waded into the water uncertainly. She was starting to have second thoughts about getting in, but it was too late to turn back, and she would rather die than be publicly humiliated by wading straight back out of the water again.
The Hedgehog swam out into the water slowly, and then a grin slowly spread across her face. She started swimming around the island so fast that – once again – she became a turquoise blue blur, only a shade lighter than the tone of the ocean blue sea that swirled in waves around her.
The hedgehog finally slowed, becoming a Hedgehog once more as opposed to the usual neon blue blur. She smiled and laid on her back, floating on the cool water's surface and looking up into the cotton wool like clouds. Anything flying above wouldn't have noticed the blue hedgehog lying on the water's surface with her eyes closed and a small smile on her face, enjoying the silence.
She finally opened her eyes again and pulled out a turquoise blue chaos emerald from her pocket. It glimmered in the sunlight and the hedgehog smiled and tapped the emerald, curiosity replacing the peacefulness on her face as the emerald started to glow on and off, indicating electronics nearby.
What kind of technology could you find on a beach for crying out loud? I'm the only person on this yellow rock… the hedgehog swam to the shore and watched the chaos emerald pulse and glow as she walked. She was determined to find out what the foreign technology on the island was.
A few minutes later, the hedgehog came to a hidden entrance carved into a large, hollow rock. Confused, she glanced up and then down at the height and width of the spherical rock, judging its height and width on the inside before she entered, cautiously.
What she saw inside the rock wasn't to be expected at all. It wasn't just one piece of technology; it was several, all large robots marching around in a circle. All of the robots froze as they saw the hedgehog and – damn it – they all started towards her.
The blue blur wasn't stupid. As soon as she saw the robots she immediately touched her chaos emerald and turned invisible to the robot's eyes. Holding her breath, the hedgehog watched the robots start towards her and she instantly thought of the challenge in them, relishing it instantly.
The hedgehog immediately jumped freely into the air, letting go of her invisibility, curling up into a ball and bouncing straight towards the first robot's head. The head detached from the body immediately, and the blue blur span around in mid air, heading straight for the second robot. She continued this until all five robots had been eliminated, barely two seconds after she had first been sighted.
Too easy. She rolled her eyes as she looked at the robots' remains, and then walked forwards, wondering who the robots belonged to, why they were there, and what they were searching for, or guarding. Inquisitiveness was one of the blue blurs main traits, and she started forwards, looking around for any signs.
Nothing. Damn robots hadn't left a trace. She walked over to the edge of the cave and immediately grabbed the wall, realising there was a drop into a deeper part of the cave, also covered with robots. There were several computers on the far wall, and the blue blur judged how easy it was to get to the other side.
Quite. They look the same as the robots I just took down, only there are more down here. What, four seconds best? The blue blur smirked and dived straight down into the pit, spinning mid air and spinning wildly towards the first robot, deflecting off of it and defeating it instantly, before spinning again, straight towards the second robot. It didn't take very long until all ten robots had been defeated, and there were only two more robots guarding the main computer system, different models this time.
They were both painted red with black guns that fired rapidly. The blue blur hid behind a crate and judged what the robots could do quickly. The crates haven't been destroyed yet, meaning that the guns are fast but weak. Even if I was shot by them, it probably wouldn't seriously injure me…
With new heart, the blue blur leapt above the crate and went spinning into the first robot, realising it was tougher than it looked. She bounced into the second robot and there was no affect. Worried now, the blue blur stood up and looked at the robots before spinning off to the side, feeling blood trickle down a part of her fur…
Damn it. She cursed inwardly, picking her few favourite curse words to yell out in her mind, when suddenly the robots stopped shooting at her. There were two metallic clanks and the sound of something falling to the ground, before the blue blur turned around to look at her saviour.
He was a hedgehog, and he was blue - just like her, though he was much darker, not turquoise. This hedgehog grinned widely at the blue blur, sticking both thumbs up with enthusiasm before turning towards the computer mainframe and deliberately pressing the big red button, instantly stopping all systems.
"Thanks," the first hedgehog said, rueful. She returned his grin, before giving him a thumbs up, still smiling. She'd never met another hedgehog like her before.
"No problem," the second hedgehog replied. "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. I guess you've heard of me before, right? Not many people haven't! I'm famous around here," he grinned.
"Never heard of you," she told Sonic, a grin on her face. "I'm new around here…"
"What's your name?" Sonic asked curiously. He turned suddenly, yelling up to the open sky above: "Tails! Get down here, everything's done, the computer's shut down!"
"Okay Sonic!" came the distant reply of Tails 'Miles' Prower. The blue blur looked up, eyes narrowing in confusion, though she said nothing, thinking about whether to lie to Sonic or not. She was known for many things, and not all of them were good.
But her resolve tightened as Sonic turned back to her.
"I'm Eihpos," she said boldly. "Eihpos the Hedgehog."
