What was once a nice, warm slumber into nothingness turned into the feeling of face hitting hard, solid brick. His arms and legs flop up before lightly plopping onto the now cracked ground. Sonic groans before slowly looking up, spying a long green platform in a seemingly endless void of darkness and flashing, greenish yellow lights. "Looks like I wounded up in the Sol Dimension again. Wonder if I'm in a city." He says, placing his hands in front of his face to get up. Though, when he saw his hands, he noticed something different.
Sonic's not wearing his usual gloves, but more rugged, dark blue gloves.
"Huh?" He says while quickly getting up, giving him a better look at his new get up. He's wearing a padded blue cloak that goes all the way down to his legs, which were clad in stunning black pants. His trademark white and red shoes were swapped out for black boots with some red at the bottom.
Sonic can't help but whistle while checking out his new outfit. "Normally not into clothes, but I look good." He said with a smug tone, which fades due to a loud, feminine shriek. The shriek was followed by a loud, crunchy blast. Sonic looks the in the direction of the yells and attempts to boost off, going for a second before the light blue energy around him flickers out, leaving the now light blue blur hitting the floor once more.
"Man, don't tell me my speed got nerfed on the way in!" He says in annoyance before hearing the feminine voice yell out "Help me!" Sonic shakes his head before running off, deciding to worry about his turned down speed later. He quickly runs down the platform, reaching a slope on his left. He slides down the slope to another platform, quickly running down that while passing a shivering pink and white creature, which a face that looks like an electrical socket. He decides to ignore the creature for now since it's too close to be the source of the girly scream.
Sonic slides down to another platform, this one with hanging electrical plugs. As he passes one of the plugs, it shoots down a ball of electricity. Once it hits the ground, it splits into two cascading waves of energy. One of which was right behind the blue blur. Sonic keeps running at his significantly weakened speed, soon dipping to a left leaning path. Sadly, this led to another plug, which nearly shocked Sonic to death. The speed demon kept on running and side stepping before spying yet another slope, which he slides down as soon as he could.
He slides to a thin platform, which is right in front of a larger, battered platform, complete with three more of the strange plug creatures. Sonic runs down the platform, soon spying a young reindeer girl kneeling, which fit the bill for both the scream and the location Sonic suspected. Luckily, whatever seemingly attacked her was gone. He quickly skids to a stop before slowly walking up to the girl. "Hey, are you alright?" He asks right before the freckled deer shot up, eyes wide with fear and hand glowing in white energy. "G-Get away from me!" She screams out while Sonic frantically waves his hands, backing away from her a bit. "Wait, I don't wanna hurt you! I'm not with Eggman Nega!" Noelle gets a little confused, the white glow slowly fading away. "Eggman Nega?" She asks while Sonic blinks in confusion.
"You don't know Eggman Nega? He's a bad dude. Pretty much the Sol dimension's equivalent of my old pal Robuttnik." Sonic explained while Noelle chuckled a bit. "Y-You mean…Dr. Robotnik from those old Sonic games?" Sonic still looks confused but decides to roll with it. He stands up straight and poses like a knight closing his eyes. "Well…our epic battles did inspire some cool games back in my dimension." He says before opening his eyes, shooting the reindeer girl an annoyed look. "Some better than others..." He says before closing his eyes once more, the smile returning. "But I wouldn't be surprised if some of those games ended up here." He says before giving Noelle a serious look. "Regardless of that, Eggman is a bad dude, and so is his alternative self…or son from the future…or somehow both. I'm still figuring that out." He says before Noelle snickers. "You sound as delusional as Berdly with his idea of a Smartopia." She says before laughing a bit more.
Sonic stands in his normal stance and smiles, looking a bit irked but mostly happy. Not how I was hoping to comfort her, but I'll take it. He thinks before walking back up to her. "So do you trust me to not be one of Nega's creeps?" He asked Noelle, who nods. "You really don't look like those plugged-in monsters despite your spikes." She said before Sonic smiles. "Great. By the way, what's your name?" He asks in a friendly tone. "Noelle. You?" She asks while standing on her hooves. "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedge…" Before Sonic could finish, he was sent flying into the air thanks to a boomerang shaped blast of energy.
Once Sonic was out of the way, Noelle could see a pinkish lizard girl with a thuggish appearance and a short axe with a greenish blue blade. "Back off, creep!" She yells out as a short teen with messy, long blue hair, which contrasts with his regal looking knight outfit, walks up to the lizard with a blank face. Noelle's eyes go wide in surprise. "Susie?! Kris?!" She yells out as Sonic faceplants into the floor behind her. "We heard your screams, so we came as soon as we could." Susie says while throwing the axe over her shoulder. The Axe didn't hit the ground, it just evaporated into white sparkles. "We figured that blue guy was gonna do what he did to the pink marshmallow guys we met, so we had to trash his ass." She said as she punches her own scaled hand. Noelle blushes a bit before chuckling. "W-While I do appreciate the thought, I don't think Sonic is with the Queen." She says while Sonic quickly getting up from the floor, glaring at Susie. "I was in the middle of saving her, thank you very much." He says while standing next to Noelle, the hedgehog being outsized by a solid two feet. "Also, I had nothing to do with the plug boys. If anything…" Sonic says before Susie butts in. "I don't care, I'm just glad Noelle is alright." She says while Noelle blushes once more. "C-Cool…but just…" She starts to say before her eyes go wide once more.
"Wait, get out of here before it's too late!" Noelle yells out as a strange saucer hovers over her head, slamming a ring with laser right around her. The saucer takes off to the air, leaving the lizard to run up to where the deer was. "NOELLE!" She yells out while watching the saucer disappear into the sky. She then grabs to Sonic by the collar and bares her teeth. "Look what you've done, you little rat!" She yells while Sonic frowns at Susie. "I'm not a rat, I'm a hedgehog. More importantly, I didn't do this!" Sonic says, but Susie brushes him off by saying, "Then who did?!"
Before Sonic could respond with a possible answer, loud, elegant laughing roars out in front of the platform as a tall, strange looking lady floats up in her…rocket throne. Her laughing soon evolves into some terrible, albeit ear pleasing, singing. "Hell Of A Study Session." She says while swishing around green liquid in a wine glass. Susie grunts and looks up at the newcomer. "Who the hell are you?!" She yells at the stranger. "I Am Known As Serial Number Q5U4EX7YY2E9N. But You Foolish Children May Call Me…" The strange says before taking a sip out of her glass, holding up a finger to tell the teens to wait. The lady when poses and a pop up appears next to her, revealing her name. ""Queen.""
Susie chuckles. "Heh, like we're gonna call YOU "Queen"…"Q5U…..3….7…" uh," She tries to say before another pop up appears next to Queen. "Queen." The blue lady says once more. Suise groans. "Well LOOK, "Queen." We're not "children!" She says to which Queen replies, with accompanying pop up showing the progression of "stupid" to "BIG STUpid", "Teens Are Merely Big Children. And Adults Are Even Bigger Children." Susie looks a bit confused. "…doesn't that make you a child too, then?" She asks. Queen then replies "No I Am: A Computer (Smart.)" Susie looks at her fellow teens. "Computer?" She asks to which Sonic responds, "Yeah. Queen must be one of Eggman Nega's creations. No wonder she captured Noelle!"
Queen keeps swirling her drink while looking down at the three with a condensing smile. "I Have No Fricken Clue Who Eggman Nega Is. Anyways, I Would Of Captured You Three But I Ran Out Of Cages." She says as the word "TRUE" flashes on her eyes like a monitor. Susie balls up her hands and shakes them at Queen as she yells, "Why the CAPTURING?!" Queen responds with "So That She May Become My Willing Peon In My Quest For World Domination."
As she speaks, a singular green picture of Noelle's face pops up, as well as several red pictures of the globe with a small ": )" above it. "Also Maybe I Will Make Her Face Into A Robot One?" She says while a pic of a robot face pops up right next to Noelle's picture along with a corresponding arrow. Both Sonic and Susie grimace at Queen before the lizard speaks up. "What?! Why?!" Queen then laughs and says "Seems Cool." Sonic then points at Queen with a angry look. "Not on my watch, you glorified maid bot!" He yells out before running up to the edge of the platform, soon jumping off. "Wait What Is He Doi…" Before she could finish, Sonic slams into her body with a homing attack, shooting her and her chat a few feet away from the platform while the hedgehog effortlessly lands back on the green ground. Susie smiles, glad that somebody put this robo bitch in her place.
Queen looks back up, and realizes she just spilled her drink thanks to the blue menace. "Bruh." She says before floating right back to the edge of the platform. "Did You Just Interrupt My Epic_Intro_ 3 And Spill My Drink?" She scowls at the hedgehog before throwing her now empty class over her shoulder. "Not Cool Bro." She says with a huff, crossing her arms. Susie summons her ax and slams it onto the ground in front of her. "The only thing that won't be cool is what I'm gonna do to your face! Nobody is turning anybody's face to a robot!" Susie yells out while Queen smiles, unfurling her arms. "Could That Be A Statement Of Animous Dissention?" She asks while the three grow confused faces. "Huh?" Susie asks while looking at Sonic, who just shrugs. Queen laughs once more before following up with, "You Wanna Fight, Losers?" Susie bares more teeth while slamming her ax into the ground once more. "YES! YES ALREADY, YES!" She yells while Queen floats off. "Oh Then Bye." She says while leaving the three behind. Both Susie and Sonic flare up. "WAIT! A GODDAMN! SECOND!" Susie yells while Sonic angrily shakes his fist. "You can't run forever!" He yells while Queen responds. "Yes I Can. I Run On A Rechargeable Batterie. Still, I Have No Time For Such Frivolities (And Would Kick Your Ass)" She then presses a button on her throne while smirking at the three. "But Perhaps Someone Else Could Entertain You."
Then, the hanging plugs slam into the injured plug boys, causing the three to look in their direction. "What the hell?!" Sonic yells before the plug boys are flung in front of the path, blocking the way to the Queen. The poor creatures instantly turn into long, spindly being with yellow hands, green stripes, and long pink ears with splashes of blue and yellow at the top. "Enjoy: Your Assimilation." Queen says before rocketing off. Without another word, Susie readies her axe, Kris pulls out a cyan sword, and Sonic spies dual daggers appearing in each gloved hand.
It's time to fight.
