Alright, ladies and gentlemen, here's the moment you've been waiting for! We finally get to see Sonic the Hedgehog!
Because this is a Sonadow story, and obviously, ya need both adorable hedgies to make a Sonadow story.
Oh, and one thing I'm going to clarify right now, despite what I've said about the concept, Sonic and Infinite are not in an abusive relationship.
Or any remotely romantic relationship for that matter.
Anyway, here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy!
Meanwhile, in Central City…
Four figures raced across the rooftops of various buildings. The soft sound of soles, treads, and metal hitting the rooftops filled the air. They stopped on the rooftop of their target building, and one figure, a blue hedgehog, looked out to the world.
"Wow, look at that," he said, gazing at the city.
"Hedgehog... Get over here!" a condescending voice spoke behind him.
"Come on Finite, can't I just enjoy the view? I could get used to this. Finite, I want a mansion!"
Behind the blue hedgehog stood two robots, one who was tall and bore great resemblance to a rooster, while the other was teal with a short and stocky build. Along with them was a black and white jackal, who wore a silver mask that exposed a single yellow eye. Said Jackal, Infinite, was currently approaching the blue hedgehog.
"Do not refer to me by that ridiculous nickname. We do this job, then you can go find your own mansion…" he said before pulling the blue hedgehog by his shirt.
The two robots lifted a panel on the roof of the building and the four peered inside. Down below their observation spot was an empty metal hallway.
"Alright," Infinite looked at his two robot lackeys, "you two will disable the cameras, and you…" he turned to the blue hedgehog, "are going to do the major damage."
"You got it, boss!" the two robots chanted.
The blue hedgehog dashed through the empty hallway, appearing as a blue blur to any passerby.
Well, if there were any passersby, that is.
He leaned against a wall and peered into the target room. In its center was a large computer room, where glaring security cameras were guarding it. The blue hedgehog kept his eyes on the blinking red lights on the cameras.
'Seriously, how long does it take for two robots with an illusion shield to deactivate the cameras?' he thought. After what felt like an eternity, but was really about a minute, the blinking red lights turned off. The blue hedgehog then smirked, curled up into a ball, and began smashing the core of the computer. "Ha, mission accomplished!" he said to nobody in particular. He turned and began running through the hallway again before a particular room caught his eye. The blue hedgehog peered into the room, and his eyes lay on the shiny item on the pedestal.
It was a medallion, a gold-plated one. In the center, it had a swirled crescent symbol made from some type of red crystal. At the sight of the symbol, the blue hedgehog quickly realized the value it possessed. They adorned it with actual gold, and the crystal was ruby. Supposedly, the ultimate life form would have received it but got put away after his disappearance.
The blue hedgehog continued to stare at the item. Nobody would notice if this valuable, important artifact went missing… right?
Alarms began blaring in all directions. Without a second thought, the blue hedgehog grabbed the medallion and fled.
Behind the military base, he reunited with Infinite, Scratch, and Grounder, and the three ran.
"What happened back there?" Infinite furiously asked.
"Mr. Bolt Brain over here thought it would be a good idea to take the main pathway where anyone walking by can see us!" Scratch squawked, pointing an accusing finger at his teal companion.
"Excuse me? Who was the one who thought pushing the big red button was a good idea?"
Infinite pressed his fingers on his mask and shook his head.
"At least you got your job done," he said, looking at the blue hedgehog.
"Yup! And I did a little something extra…" he held up his hand, exposing a golden chain weaved between his fingers, with a disk of metal dangling from it.
"How did you…" Infinite stared at the trinket in disbelief.
"Some GUN employee thought it would be a good idea to leave this in an easy-to-access location," the blue hedgehog smugly replied as he continued to twirl the medallion around his fingers.
"How many rings do you think that's worth? One hundred?" Scratch asked, he and Grounder now intrigued by the shiny item.
"One hundred is way off," Grounder pipped up. "It's got to be worth at least five hundred rings!"
"One thousand rings!" Said Scratch.
"One thousand fifty!" They kept shouting numbers back and forth as if they were bidding in an auction. The blue hedgehog gazed at the medallion in his palm, wondering himself how many rings the token was worth. Like Scratch said it was definitely worth more than one hundred rings…
"You there! Halt!" The four rebels didn't have to turn to realize they've been busted. Immediately, the blue hedgehog stuffed the medallion in his bag, and ran, Infinite, Scratch, and Grounder following close behind, all the while, the Hedgehog continued to talk.
"Can't you picture me with my own mansion? 'Cause I certainly can! All the things we've seen, and it's only eight in the morning! I'm telling you Finite, today's a very big day!"
That was a very short part, I'm sorry.
If you are familiar with the YouTube channel SonicSong182, then, yup! Scratch and Grounder working for Infinite is a concept I borrowed from that channel, it was from the Sonic Chefs Apple Cinnamon Roll episode. More subtly, Sonic calling Infinite "Finite" was taken from one of their Among Us episodes.
See y'all next time!
