First off, this is NOT a reference to the Fantastic Four, it is just the name of the chapter and I am not good at naming chapters, as you will see in a bit. Also, some of the people that have read this have looked at my first chapter, not the prologue when it said that the other OC will come in with the next chapter. I meant to put that that will be the time when that OC will become more important to the story and that it will also focus on it. The OC is actually getting introduced this chapter, at the end, with a reference in the beginning. I also, without trying to, referenced it in the last chapter. When you read the chapter after this one, and then look back, you will realize what it is. Read on!
Chapter 3: The Super Four (Slick's POV)
As I was talking to Tails, Cream, Amy, Knuckles, and Blaze, who came in five minutes ago, Sonic and Shadow came back in with a third, silver hedgehog. Sonic and Shadow grabbed my arms as I was forcibly pulled to my feet and out of the hospital room.
"You guys can come, too, if you want. We'll be testing if he really is Slick," Shadow stated.
Before everybody else was pulled out of the range in which I could read minds, I heard Blaze think, "Wasn't there a blue cat that took a Sol Emerald?"
Not knowing what a Sol Emerald is, or the blue cat that she was talking about, I quickly pushed it out of my head. As we exited the doors, we took a right and, a few minutes later, found ourselves in a wide open prairie, similar to that of the Great Plains, which I have traveled across before to get to relatives on the other side of the Mississippi River. But that was unimportant at the moment.
Shadow looked at the other Sonic and the silver hedgehog and said, "Pull out your Chaos Emeralds now."
They did as they were told, pulling out two each, before throwing them to the ground in the middle of the circle that we created. Shadow then looked at me and said, "You throw yours to the ground, too." I quickly did so.
Immediately after doing this, the Chaos Emeralds created a circle, just large enough for us to step through. Shadow, Sonic, and the silver hedgehog looked at me and nodded me towards the circle. I nervously went up to the circle, hesitated, and then stepped through it.
I instantly felt the power of the gems flowing through my body, feeling stronger, almost invincible. I closed my eyes and felt the as the power flew through my blood, making me feel even stronger. After I felt like I had reached my full power, I opened my eyes and looked at myself and was startled by how my appearance had changed. I was no longer blond, as I was now pure white. My body glowed with energy. I felt the quills on my head standing on end from this. I turned around and saw Sonic, Shadow, and the silver hedgehog step through the circle and turn pure gold. I immediately looked at the silver hedgehog as he said, "So you really are Slick. Sorry about not saying my name. My name is Silver."
"The irony of it," I thought, "is that his fur color is silver, which is probably the reason why he was named that."
"I'm going to test out how my body handles this power," I say. Everybody nods.
I start running, and I quickly realize that I can run extremely fast with this power, but when I look down, I realize that I am not running, but flying! I force myself to lift off the ground and quickly get accustomed to flying, whooping in delight.
Meanwhile, on Earth...
The same thing that happened to Slick was also happening to a girl who lived in northern Maine. The girl, who has blue hair (her guardian told her that her abusive mother had dyed it so much that it will stay blue for the rest of her life) was going home when she spotted a glimmer in a bush. She looked into the bush and found a red rectangular crystal that had no reason for being there, so she continued to walk home. When she got home, nobody was in the house, and an FBI agent told her that the town was evacuated because of a wildfire that was spreading close to the town. This girl knew that that was a lie, as she would have been able to see the smoke from her house, and was able to evade the agent, who, unsuspecting to both Slick and this girl, was the same agent with a very long mustache and a bald head.
"Drat, she got away, too. Now I have to chase both of them down on Mobius," the agent said. With that, the agent turned and walked away.
The girl, taking no chances, decided to use up all of her endurance getting as far away from the agent as possible, before needing to stop after all of her endurance was used up. Before she fell unconscious, the crystal started glowing, and she fell unconscious after a seeing that, wondering what would happen to the emerald.
Oh, yeah. The girl's name? That would be Jolt.
I can just imagine the reviews for this chapter "Jolt, huh? That was the best thing that you could think of?" Actually, yes, that was the best name I could come up with. I needed a good name, and couldn't come up with one, so I just named her Jolt. I think that a lot of people may know who the agent is, but how is he on Earth? And how will he being in this story affect anything? Well, that's it for my first chapter of the two chapters I am putting up today, so R&R and NO FLAMES!
