Sonic The Hedgehog: Dimensional Wars
Hero Story
Chapter 2: Graduation Day!
Meanwhile in a destroyed street in Mobius City, Mobius, June 30th, 2018, 1:46 PM UTC -2...
A police officer was hiding behind his damaged police car. His blue clothes were ripped, and his face was bruised and so were his arms and legs. He was breathing very quickly, almost to the point of hyperventilating.
He clutched his Glock 18 to his chest as he rapidly looked in all directions, paranoid of The Muscle coming towards him. He grabbed the walkie-talkie strapped to his belt and turned it on.
The officer quietly whispered "Jacob, Jacob, can you hear me?! 10-33! The Muscle is attacking our officers at Naka 20th Avenue! We need backup! Bring in the birds! Bring the goddamn Mobius military, G.U.N, or even NOOSE units if possible! 10-18!"
The officer turned off the walkie-talkie and put it on his belt. He started looking around again, surrounded by destroyed police cars, cops lying on the floor; possibly dead, and fallen street signs.
The cop was about to make a run for it, but he heard a loud thud. He hid behind his car again as he heard a loud yell, along with another thud and a crash. The officer turned around and took a peek of what was going on.
He saw a sports car flying right at him. He ran out of the way and avoided the car. Suddenly, two blue glowing ropes wrapped around the car like a lasso and the car was swung around and then thrown into a giant, chrome-colored man.
The man, who was the Indestructible Muscle, was hit by the car and knocked to the ground. He stood and was then punched by a blue flash then was kicked in the gut before he was then given an axe kick to the noggin.
The Muscle was knocked to the floor before being picked up by the feet, swung around in circles, then thrown at a water tower, destroying the tower legs, collapsing to the ground and releasing all the water to flood the road. He struggled to stand up as he was coughing out water and spitting out some bad tastes.
He then heard a voice telling him "Hey big guy, you better pay for that water tower with all of that money you stole!" in an insulting tone.
The giant 15 foot tall monster turned his head around and saw a small blue hedgehog taunting him. He growled and yelled "Shut up!" and started charging at the small hedgehog.
The hedgehog was Mobius' world hero and The Muscle's worst enemy, Sonic The Hedgehog. He jumped up high in the air as The Muscle tackled through a restaurant, destroying chairs and tables as people jumped out of the way. Sonic jumped in front of The Muscle and was about to punch him but was then jabbed with the giant man's giant fist. As a result, he went flying and crashed into the side of a car.
Sonic stood up rubbing the back of his head when he noticed The Muscle was charging at him. He jumped out of the way of the charging monster as the massive chrome-skinned man crashed into a car. The car started rolling until it hit a building and blew up.
The Muscle grabbed a car and threw it at Sonic. Using his superior agility, the blue blur backflipped out of the way. Quickly, he took out a strip of Enerbeams and wrapped it around The Muscle's right foot then swung him around multiple times. Eventually, Sonic then threw him in the air.
The Muscle crash-landed on a busy street as he slid through the asphalt and crashed into cars that were in his way. When he stopped, he stood up as he let out a loud roar that made people run away screaming.
Sonic heard the screaming from a distance and started running towards the street as he rolled into a ball and tackled the Muscle's back. But the Muscle grabbed him and slammed him to the ground with 900 total pounds of weight, which helped in cracking the asphalt beneath them into many separate pieces.
The blue hedgehog groaned as he tried to get up but was then grabbed by The Muscle and thrown at a tall building. Meanwhile in the tall building, a news report was being filmed.
The reporter said as she quickly read through her script "In other news, a large-scale bank robbery ends in a massive fight between Mobius hero, Sonic The Hedgehog, and one of his minor enemies, The Indestructible Muscle."
After she finished her sentence, Sonic burst through the massive window and crashed into the camera equipment. The reporter yelled "What the hell is going on?!"
The somewhat embarrassed hero rubbed his shoulder and got up while saying "Long story. Evacuate everyone in the building!"
The reporter said "Alright people, we need to get out of here! Come on! Andale, andale!" as she lightly pushed the camera crew down the stairs and pushed a red button that activated a loud alarm.
Sonic finally got up while he heard a voice from the alarm saying "Attention everyone, evacuate the building quickly. This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill." Sonic walked over to the broken window. He noticed something above the street getting bigger and bigger.
But it didn't take long for the blue hedgehog to find out that it wasn't growing, it's getting closer. Sonic jumped out of the way before something way bigger crashed into the building, crushing furniture and destroying the studio and sending shards of glass flying.
Sonic landed on his back when he came to his senses and saw The Muscle loudly growling. The lights were flickering. Sonic stood up and slowly took a couple steps back. But suddenly, the Muscle turned his head towards Sonic but didn't do anything. The lights went out after flickering. Sonic gulped as he heard loud steps. The lights came back on and The Muscle suddenly loudly roared in front of Sonic's face like a jumpscare while the lights were flickering many times a second.
A couple floors down, the news reporter was going down the emergency stairs with the camera crew when one of the camera people heard something crash a couple floors above. The news reporter squinted her eyes when she saw something blue falling from high up.
The falling blue thing fell past the camera crew when another camera person saw something bigger falling. The news reporter didn't need to squint since she discovered it was the Muscle falling.
The Muscle burst past the stairs, destroying them in the process, and the news reporter and her camera crew started falling towards the floor.
The blue thing was an unconscious Sonic that finally woke up and turned around then saw the Muscle falling after him. Sonic rolled into a ball and started falling faster.
Sonic landed on the bottom floor and was about to burst through the door to the lobby when he heard the news reporter and camera crew screaming as they were falling to the floor. Sonic was hesitant since the Muscle was getting closer.
Sonic whispered "Ah, screw it." and turned on his communicator watch and started going through the net shooter settings. The blue hedgehog closed the settings app and then shot out a giant net to all 4 walls. Sonic shot out more massive nets to make the net thicker to break the news reporter and the camera crew's fall.
When the news reporter and her crew landed on the giant net, Sonic told them "Hurry up, guys! The Muscle is coming!"
The news reporter and her camera crew quickly opened the door and entered the lobby. Sonic was about to follow them but then he was knocked down when The Muscle crashed onto the floor, making pieces of the floor go flying in the air. Sonic dashed towards the Muscle as he was aiming a fist at the giant man, but Sonic was grabbed by the Muscle's giant hand.
The Muscle tossed Sonic in the air and then punched the blue hedgehog through the wall like a volleyball. He painfully landed on the floor and when he slowly got up, he noticed the lobby was completely deserted and the glass doors were still open.
Sonic let out a sign of relief "Thank god." Before The Muscle crashed through the wall and punched Sonic through the entrance. Sonic rolled into a ball and stopped sliding on the road. The Muscle started charging at Sonic, but the blue hedgehog dashed behind the giant man and tackled the Muscle with a Homing Attack.
The Muscle grabbed Sonic and slammed him on the ground, but Sonic rolled out of the way and delivered a kick to the giant man's chin.
The Muscle grabbed Sonic and threw him towards a police barricade.
Sonic crashed into the front side of a police car and the car started skidding sideways as the tires squealed and smoke was released from the friction. When the car stopped, Sonic fell to the ground but then grabbed the car with the light ropes and started swinging it around.
The Muscle started running towards Sonic and was about to crush the hedgehog with his fists when he was whacked in the cheek by the front of the car.
Sonic let go of the car and while The Muscle stumbled backwards while holding the damaged car with his giant hands, Sonic dashed in front of The Muscle and in a split-second, Sonic's right leg had blue lightning running around it. The blue hedgehog then karate kicked through the car and hit the giant man. The Muscle was knocked high in the air.
The Muscle then crashed into a giant screen on the side of the building showing a game commercial for "Tomatopotamus Forces." Sonic turned around to see multiple cop cars and NOOSE vans driving to The Muscle's location.
Sonic quickly hopped on top of a NOOSE van. When the cops got to The Muscle's location, multiple officers and NOOSE elites got out of their vehicles and aimed their weapons at the unconscious criminal. Sonic hopped off the van as he noticed a friend of his.
His name is Daniel Towper and he's a NOOSE elite officer from the MPD, or Mobius Police Department. He and Sonic met in 2009 when Daniel was brought in to be featured in an episode of the police show, COPS. To simplify it, a drug bust went wrong and Daniel and multiple cops were injured, some more than others.
Luckily, Sonic arrived in time to save the day. Sonic noticed that Daniel was the one most injured but not fatally. Apparently, Daniel had risked his life to save his fellow officers as best as he could before Sonic arrived. Sonic congratulated him for his good deeds. And they became good friends and have been ever since.
Sonic walked up to a NOOSE soldier and said, "Hey Daniel."
"Oh hey, Sonic." Replies the NOOSE officer. Sonic and Daniel traded fist bumps as they started a conversation.
"Long time no see, bro! How's the job?" Sonic asked his friend when he saw his badge saying, "Elite NOOSE Operative."
Daniel responded "Job's doin' good. The Chief of NOOSE recently promoted me to an Elite Operative. Didn't think it would happen that quickly when I became a Standard Operative just a couple months ago."
Sonic said, "I bet your family is proud of you." With a smile.
"Aw shucks. Thanks, man." Daniel said while a little embarrassed and rubbing the back of his head.
"Maybe I should call my parents. Feel like I'm keeping them in the dark."
Sonic said, "You should."
Sonic and Daniel traded handshakes before they heard yells and screams. Sonic and Daniel noticed NOOSE units and police officers unconscious on the ground.
Sonic said "What the..." when he and Daniel felt heavy breathing behind them.
They turned around and saw The Muscle start roaring in their faces as Daniel and Sonic started screaming in fear. The Muscle was about to punch the two of them when Sonic shoved Daniel away from The Muscle and said "Dan, go!"
Sonic was hit by The Muscle's giant fist and went high in the air. Sonic started falling back down towards The Muscle. Sonic rolled into a ball and slammed The Muscle to the ground. The Muscle grabbed Sonic and threw him at a building with a giant broken screen. Sonic crashed into the giant screen and sparks came off the screen. Sonic then jumped from the screen and then at high speeds slugged The Muscle in the face.
The Muscle was knocked to the floor and then grabbed by the feet then thrown at multiple lanes of traffic. The Muscle grabbed a car and threw it at Sonic. Sonic started dashing towards The Muscle while dodging incoming cars by side-stepping. Suddenly, a big truck was thrown towards Sonic as the blue hedgehog let out a small yelp.
Sonic then dodged the truck as he started sliding on his knees under the truck. Sonic's eyes saw the truck fly over him in slow motion. The truck then landed behind Sonic and started rolling backwards. Sonic then jumped and landed while running.
Sonic started laughing and said "Take that, Muscle! Anything you can throw at me I can avo-!" When Sonic was hit by a car rapidly sliding sideways as the blue hedgehog let out another yelp.
Sonic held on to the sliding car as he grabbed the left car door with his hands and put his feet to the left rear side of the car. Sonic was breathing extremely rapidly as he tried calming his nerves. He then heard something start to play music. Sounded like very guitar-heavy music to be exact. The blue blur pulled his phone out of his pockets and carefully put it to his ear.
Sonic asked "Yello?"
He then heard a voice saying, "What the hell are you doing, Sonic?!"
"Uhh, hey Austin. I'm just fighting lil' old Indestructible Muscle. Just a sweet romantic date. I'm still waiting until he gives me a kiss. Why do you ask?" Replied Sonic as he jumped off the sliding car and let it crash into a nearby building.
Austin responds "Dude, the graduation ceremony starts in 15 minutes! Stop wasting time and get over here!"
Sonic starts dashing towards The Muscle and says "Once Mr. Muscle is in custody, I'll be on my way. I won't take long, okay?"
"Alright, just be safe." Says Austin before Sonic hung up on him.
Sonic put away his phone and rolled into a ball. The Muscle squeezed his fists and growled. Sonic started rolling at high speeds and began to start circling around The Muscle.
The Muscle turned his head in multiple directions trying to home in on Sonic, but the snarky blue hedgehog was too fast.
The smoke Sonic made while running turned blue as The Muscle was blinded by the smoke like it was bluish fog. The Muscle was then hit by a blue flash and then punched at blinding speeds.
"Stay still, you blue pest!" Yelled The Muscle as he got punched in the gut and the face in the same second.
Sonic started going faster as more blue smoke was released and before long, The Muscle couldn't see anything in the thick fog.
The Muscle started roaring loudly and hit the ground hard with both of his clenched fists. Sonic was sent flying and crashed into a lamp post. The Muscle grabbed Sonic and then jumped towards a tall building.
The Muscle crashed into the building and started climbing to the top. When The Muscle got to the top, Sonic was thrown at an AC Unit and burst through it. Sonic struggled to get up and dashed towards The Muscle and did a spin kick towards the giant criminal's right cheek.
The Muscle lifted his hand and blocked Sonic's kick. The Muscle grabbed Sonic's foot and slammed the hedgehog into the ground.
Sonic rolled away from The Muscle and launched a rope at another AC Unit. Sonic started swinging it around and whacked The Muscle in the right cheek. The Muscle stumbled to the left and was then tackled off the building by Sonic after charging up a Spin-Dash.
Sonic started hitting The Muscle in the face until the mutated bank robber headbutted the much smaller hero in the forehead.
Sonic crashed into the building and landed in a big room with office cubicles. The Muscle came in through the big hole in the window and delivered an uppercut which sent the blue blur crashing through multiple floors.
The blue hedgehog came out of the top of the building as The Muscle jumped with Sonic and grabbed him.
The Muscle then started falling back down while spinning. The Muscle and Sonic went down while bursting through many floors. The Muscle then threw Sonic out of the building and the blue hedgehog landed on a small street.
Sonic was laying down on his stomach while he was trying to stay conscious at the same time. The Muscle landed on his feet on the same street as Sonic and slowly started walking towards him.
The exhausted and injured hero got on his knees while he turned his head and up and saw The Muscle looking down on him with clenched teeth.
The Muscle said "After all these years. After all these goddamn years. I've been waiting for this moment for ages. I'll finish our grudge once and for all. Take your last breaths of fresh air and make sure you enjoy them. Make peace with your maker because I'm going to kill you!"
The blue hedgehog slowly got up while clutching his arm and with a limp leg. Sonic said "If you...say so. But before I go, I just have 4...words to say."
Sonic then randomly yelled "Volcano wonderpants! Hooba dooba dooba! Pizza Hut and StarBucks!"
"Excuse me?!" Said The Muscle before Sonic held his arms in front of his and closed his eyes as he began focusing his energy. Sonic's shoes were surrounded by small drafts and cylinders of gale that were going around his feet.
Sonic's body started emitting blue trails of wind. Sonic's eyes then started glowing blue with the same blue colored gusts of air.
In an instant, time started going so slowly that it seemed like time had stopped. Sonic stood up and clenched his fists. Sonic's hands started glowing blue and again, quite a lot of wind was released.
Sonic jumped up and started punching The Muscle in the face. Sonic started punching the chrome criminal faster and faster with the giant man not even flinching.
He sped up until the blue hedgehog started barraging The Muscle with lightning-fast punches while Sonic was yelling "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"
Sonic then jumped once more and started to do a spinning kick but this time, Sonic kept spinning and kicked The Muscle multiple times while Sonic was again jokingly yelling "Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!"
Sonic then started running towards The Muscle and then delivered the Spinning Needle attack. The blue hedgehog then focused his energy on his right fist as it started glowing a bright blue.
Sonic then dashed toward The Muscle at the speed of sound and then screamed at the top of his lungs "TAKE THIS!"
The blue hedgehog punched The Muscle in the face which unleashed a massive blue shockwave that was as loud as a nuclear explosion. The shockwave disappeared and Sonic fell back to the floor. Sonic walked a few steps back and waited until a robotic voice coming from his watch said, "Time going back to normal."
Time slowly went back to normal and The Muscle was finally hit by Sonic's attacks. The Muscle was sent flying towards another skyscraper. The Muscle burst through the skyscraper then crashed into another skyscraper and another. The Muscle finally landed on a faraway street and turned back to normal. The giant man shrank, and his muscles became smaller. His skin turned back to a light peach color. The man had cuts all over his body, had a black eye, and was dripping blood from his mouth.
The injured man was about to make a run for it until he was surrounded by multiple NOOSE operatives.
One of them came up to the robber and said "Louis "Indestructible Muscle" Brenner, you are under arrest."
It was Daniel.
"Oh yeah, what're you gonna do about it?" The robber asked with a small smile on his face as he was spitting out blood on the ground.
Daniel took out a taser and fired two needles at Louis' chest. Those two small needles impaled the bank robber's pecs, causing Louis to start to violently twitch as he was being electrocuted by the taser, with Daniel letting out a small laugh.
Daniel let go of the taser trigger and Louis fell unconscious. Daniel and other NOOSE officers grabbed the unconscious Louis and carried him to a NOOSE van. Daniel took out his cellphone and quickly dialed Sonic.
Daniel said "The Muscle's in custody. Thank goodness, right?"
Sonic said "True dat. Oh, and uh, make sure he's in ultra-maximum security. We wouldn't want this happening again."
"Don't worry. He won't be seeing you for some time." Said Daniel with a smile on his face.
Sonic chuckled but then noticed an incoming call from Austin. Sonic said "Hopefully not. That guy really sucks at dates. Oh, uhh, I have an incoming call from a friend of mine. See ya soon, bro." and hung up.
Sonic then answered the call.
"Hey Austin, what's up?" Asked the blue hedgehog.
"The ceremony has already started! They're giving out diplomas! You're lucky they still haven't called your name yet!" Austin yelled.
Sonic said "Don't worry, I'll be there in a bit. Plus, I'm the fastest thing alive. So you can't worryin' so much, bro." with a smirk.
Sonic hung up on Austin, put away his phone, and quickly started running to his university.
Meanwhile back at the Mobius University, the principal of the college was calling graduates up to have them receive their degrees. Austin was nervously chewing his nails while he heard names of graduates being called.
"Alice Bell, Master's Degree in Art and Design. Leonardo Winston, associate degree. Nicholas River, PhD in Science and Engineering."
The three graduates walked towards the stage and received their degrees. Meanwhile, Sonic was running through lanes of traffic and jumping over cars and running on the sides of buildings.
Sonic looked at his watch and saw names of graduates that were being called. Sonic then noticed the tiny number of names that were gonna be called until his name was called.
It was only 4. Sonic started running faster as he kept checking his watch. He ran from street to street and finally was close to his college. Sonic ran near his car and grabbed his backpack which had his graduation robe and hat.
Sonic quickly went into the dressing room as he adjusted his robe and put his hat on. The principal continued calling names until he said, "Sonic Maurice The Hedgehog, PhD in Global Heroism." But Sonic didn't show up.
Austin murmured "Oh shit." as the principal said again in a frustrated tone "Sonic Maurice The Hedgehog, PhD in Global Heroism."
The principal was about to say it again when Sonic jumped and landed on the stage. Sonic shook hands with the principal and received his diploma.
Sonic then turned to the crowd, raised his arm, and did the peace sign while the crowd of people started to clap for the blue hedgehog. Sonic hopped off and sat down in his chair. The principal said "That's all the names for today! Congratulations!"
After the party started, Sonic was leaning against a tree after taking off his graduation clothes with a glass of fruit punch when he was approached by Austin.
Sonic said, "I told you I'd make it, did I?" as he smiled like a child.
Austin replied "Shut up. I was chewing my nails waiting for you to come."
"How many times did your parents tell you to not chew your nails? Keep that up and your fingers will look like a frog's fingers." Said Sonic with a small chuckle.
Austin rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment while chuckling. Sonic then heard a car coming towards Mobius University.
Sonic turned around and saw a strange looking car approach Sonic. When the car stopped, the driver was a yellowish orange fox.
Sonic said "Oh hey Tails, didn't think you'd come! What's up?"
Tails got out of his car and said "Just fine. Sonic, I need to tell you something urgently."
"Privately." Tails said as he noticed Austin.
Sonic said "Oh, ok. Austin, mind giving us some privacy?"
Austin nodded and walked away.
"Sonic, I found something while I was in the MNN newspaper archive." Said Tails.
Sonic then asked Tails "Aren't you supposed to congratulate me for graduating college?"
Tails shrugged and said "Ok. Congratulations on graduating college. There."
Sonic responded "And also, I thought that the building had to be evacuated? I was in a little bit of a scuffle with an enemy of mine."
Tails explained "I got to the building after everyone came back in. I went to the newspaper archive in the basement."
The blue blur then asked, "And what did you find?"
"I'll explain to you once we get to the MNN building. Nobody's allowed to take out anything in the archives. And we may have something linked to Shadow. Let's go!" Said Tails.
The fox then entered his vehicle and drove away.
Sonic had a confused expression on his face as he thought "(What does he want to show me? And what's Shadow's connection to this?)"
Sonic noticed his car and then started fiddling with his watch. Sonic's car turned on and drove away as it was given directions to go back to Sonic's house.
After that, Sonic started running after Tails and towards the MNN building.
But nearby on the top of a Mobius University building, a sinister figure in a brown hoodie and blue jeans looked on as he saw Sonic and Tails speed off to the MNN skyscraper. His mouth and nose were covered by a black mouth bandana and his eyes were hidden behind a pair of dark goggles.
The figure softly started to laugh and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace of itself behind.
After a crazy graduation day, Sonic is now a free man, no longer forced to do his hero work during out-of-school breaks. But it seems like Tails has found out about something weird. What did Tails discover? What might be linked to Shadow The Hedgehog?
