The story we follow starts on a far away planet that was named Mobius. It was the home of intelligent humanoid animals called Mobians, who could talk in perfect English and built a large amount of civilisations around their planet. Most for the time, they spent their lives living as normal citizens and treating each other as equals.

But that wasn't the case for a speedy blue Mobian who had a huge taste for adventure.

It was currently nighttime for all the beings of Mobius. Everyone in their respective villages were mainly in their beds to get a good sleep so they can feel more energise for tomorrow's events. But in a silent forest, a speedy blue blur suddenly zoomed past the trees and scared any tiny animals awake from their slumber.

The blue blur kept on zooming it's way around the forest before it finally reached an exit and came to a screeching halt in a large grassy field.

"Alright! Now that was the best midnight run I've ever had!" An enthusiastic voice said.

As it turns out, that speedy blue blur was revealed to be a blue anamorphic hedgehog with green eyes, peach skin that covers his arms, muzzle, the insides of his ears and his front torso, a pair of white gloves and some red and white running shoes with pointed toes.

This creature was the one and only, Sonic The Hedgehog. He was a freedom fighting Mobian who always enjoyed seeking adventures and could run at the speed of sound. He's basically known as a worldwide hero to everyone on Mobius.

"Man, it's much better doing this at night." Sonic said to himself with a smile. "I don't need to worry about any killer robots or a crazy doctor trying to take over the world."

Just then, Sonic heard a beeping noise from nearby and saw that it was originating from a metallic wrist device on his right hand.

"Well, looks like I've got a call." Sonic chuckled.

He then pressed a button on his device and the top hood opened up to show a hologram of another Mobian. Unlike Sonic, this one was a small amber-orange fox Mobian with two large tails with some white fur on the tip ends, white gloves like the blue hedgehog, and a pair of white and red shoes.

This was Sonic's best friend in all of Mobius, Miles 'Tails' Prower. He was a genius at building and had an unique ability to fly with his two tails.

"Hey there, Sonic!" Tails greeted kindly.

"Hi, Tails! I'm glad that you're still up at this hour." Sonic replied.

"Yeah, I'm just busy at my home." Tails told him. By the way, I see that the communicator watch I gave you is working well."

"Yep. This thing is pretty handy for chatting to you at a far distance." Sonic commented.

"It's also built for you to alert me or any of the others if you're in trouble with Eggman, again." Tails reminded.

"I know. But I haven't seen that loser at all, today." Sonic said assuringly.

"And by the looks of things, I can only guess that you're having another run in the night." Tails said, putting on an all-knowing smirk.

"What else am I supposed to do?" Sonic questioned.

"I don't know." Tails replied. "Maybe spending the night at your Uncle Chuck's while eating some Chili Dogs?"

"That does sound like a good idea." Sonic admitted. "Thanks for bringing it up, Tails."

"No problem. So, do you think you could speed over to my place?" Tails asked with a smile. "There's something I really want to show you."

"You got it, buddy." Sonic answered, giving his best friend a thumbs up. "I'll be there in a sec."

"I know you will. You are the fastest thing alive." Tails replied.

"True!" Sonic agreed with a chuckle before hanging up.

Without wasting a single second, Sonic used his insanely powerful speed to dash his way through Mobius so he could meet up with Tails at his home.

"Oh yeah! I'm moving at the speed of sound!" Sonic boasted loudly. "Nothing can slow down this hedgehog! And nothing ever will!"

But then, something caught the corner of Sonic's eye. He screeched his feet onto the ground to get a better look and he placed his left hand over his eyes.

"Huh? What's over there?" Sonic asked in curiosity. "Is it one of Eggman's booby traps or just some old piece of junk?"

The blue hedgehog managed to peek closer and saw that it was a large crater.

"Okay, we don't get any craters like that one around here." Sonic said. "I'd better check if something's in it."

He zoomed his way towards the crater and stopped when he reached the edge within a minute. When Sonic looked into the crater's center, he gasped in surprise at seeing some kind of big advanced capsule. There was a bunch of frosted mist covering the glass area, preventing Sonic from seeing if something was inside.

"What? Where in the world did that thing come from?" Sonic questioned. "From the looks of this huge hole, I'm pretty sure it shot down from the sky. But I'm not sure who sent it down here."

Deciding to check it out personally, Sonic jumped into the crater and he slowly approached the capsule. Once the Mobian speedster was close enough, he quickly touched it to see if anything would happen. Fortunately, there was no explosion or anything else dangerous.

"Phew, I'm glad this thing isn't wired to blow up on me." Sonic sighed in relief. "But still, where did it even come from? I'd better call the gang about this."

Sonic turned on his communicator watch and dialled in a number before he waited patiently for someone who knew to answer his call. Then, he noticed that the top hood opened up and it displayed a hologram of another Mobian.

This one was a female chipmunk Mobian with brown fur, tan fur around her muzzle, blue eyes, auburn-red hair, tall blue boots, a blue sleeveless zipper vest, a pair of dark-blue skin-tight shorts and two lightish-blue rings around her wrists. This was Sonic's other close friend/love-interest, Sally Acorn.

"Hello, Sonic." The Mobian chipmunk greeted kindly.

"Sally! Good to see ya!" Sonic replied. "How are Rotor and the others doing?"

"They're just fine. Thanks for asking." Sally answered. "So, are you calling me because you're in another Eggman mess?"

"Not this time, Sal." Sonic told her. "I've found something super weird that doesn't look like it's from Mobius."

"What makes you say that?" Sally asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Because it's in the middle of this ginormous crater that I'm currently standing in." Sonic answered casually.

"Of course you are. That's just like you." Sally chuckled with a smirk.

"Oh, sure. Go ahead and chuckle all you want." Sonic replied, playing along with her little game.

"Anyway, I'm guessing you called me because you want my help to figure out what this thing is?" Sally guessed.

"Yeah, I do." Sonic said with a nod. "And do you think you could bring Rotor, Nicole, Antoine and Bunnie with you, too?"

"Of course. I'll call them, right now." Sally replied. "Just don't do anything stupid while you're waiting."

"Hey! Are you calling me stupid?!" Sonic asked in offence.

"I was just giving you a warning." Sally said.

"Prune." Sonic snorted as quietly as possible.

"Indolent!" Sally replied teasingly.

There was a moment of silence before Sonic and Sally both chuckled at each other.

"That never gets old!" Sonic said.

"For sure! Anyway, I'll have Nicole contact the other Freedom Fighters and we'll meet you at your position." Sally told her friend.

"Good to hear. See ya in a few minutes, Sal." Sonic replied before he ended his call.

He then waited a while for his friends to arrive so they could get to the bottom of this strange other-worldly capsule mystery.

It took a long time and he was getting very annoyed due to his impatience, but Sonic finally saw a yellow transport buggy drive in front of the crater.

"About time you guys made it!" Sonic quipped with his arms crossed.

Sally jumped of the buggy and smiled down at Sonic.

"Hey, you were pretty far away from where we were." She told the blue hedgehog. "But, I still managed to get the others to come out here."

Stepping out of the transport buggy were three more Mobians that were good friends with Sonic, too. The first one was a male coyote with brown fur, pale yellow fur on his front torso and muzzle, Sky-Blue eyes, neatly combed blonde hair, pointy ears, a black nose, red boots with white cuffs and a white buckle on each of them, a pair of white gloves that had red cuffs and golden cufflinks, a red and white belt that connected to a silver sword scabbard, and two light-grey straps around his chest that formed an 'X' on it. This was Sonic's fellow swordsman friend in the Freedom Fighters, Antoine D'Coolette.

The second was a female rabbit Mobian with pale yellow fur, a white muzzle with a small pink nose, vibrant emerald-green eyes, violet eyelids, a flopped right ear, long hair that was tied into a ponytail by a pink hair tie, a left cybernetic arm, robot legs, a pink leotard, a white glove on her right hand with a pink cuff, and a short fluffy tail. This was the Freedom Fighter's half-robotic cowgirl, Bunnie Rabbot.

And finally, the third and last Mobian was a muscular walrus with violet-purple fur, darker toes and fingers, peach skin on his muzzle and front torso, a black nose, large tusks, a short tail, green eyes, yellow goggles with light-blue lenses and a black strap on his head, yellow fingerless gloves with white buckles, black and white form-fitting shoes with yellow socks, and a green utility belt across his shoulder. This was the team's super tough inventor, Rotor The Walrus.

"Greetings, Sonic." Antoine said in a French-English accent. "It is good to see that you are still doing unusual things."

"Unusual and mischievous, I might add." Bunnie added in a cowgirl accent, flashing a sly smile to Sonic.

"Oh, so you're all taking Sally's side on this?" Sonic asked jokingly.

"You might say that." Rotor chuckled. "But, we're still your friends, Sonic."

"So, what have you called us for again?" Antoine asked in curiosity.

"This big thing." Sonic answered, tapping onto the large capsule.

His Freedom Fighter friends slid down into the crater and they got a closer look at it.

"Where do y'all think this came from?" Bunnie questioned.

"Perhaps Eggman?" Rotor guessed.

"No. I've never seen him use these kinds of parts." Sonic replied casually.

"Sonic was right when he called me. This thing is definitely not from Mobius." Sally admitted, placing a hand on her hip. "But there's no telling what's in it. Nicole, what can you make of this?"

Pulling out a small rectangular device with a screen on it, Sally pressed a button and this caused some purple pixels to appear out of the device and they soon formed themselves into another Mobian. It was a female Lynx with light-brown fur, long triangular ears that are coloured black at the end, cheek tufts on her muzzle, a stripe along the bridge of her black nose, green eyes, medium-long black hair with splits at the ends, a tail, a purple sleeveless dress with black and white split-tails, a white trim and a small golden brooch with a purple gem for decorations, black pants, black and white gloves with purple cuffs, and a pair of black shoes that came with white cuffs. This was the Freedom Fighters' artificial intelligence that can take the holographic form of an actual Mobian, Nicole The Holo-Lynx.

"Hmm. It's quite hard for me to identify this kind of technology." Nicole admitted. "I haven't seen it on Mobius, at all."

"So I was right. This thing really is from another world in space." Sonic said.

"Okay, what should we do with it?" Antoine asked.

"Beats me, Antoine." Bunnie replied with a shrug.

"How about… we take a look at what's inside?" Sonic suggested with a smile.

Sally, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor and Nicole stared at the blue hedgehog in disbelief.

"Really, Sonic?" Sally questioned.

"What? I'm just a curious hedgehog." Sonic quipped.

"That's not the point. There's no telling what kind of dangerous thing is locked up in here." Rotor told him.

"It could be some kind of monster that does nothing but destroy everything." Nicole added.

"Do any of you guys have a better suggestion?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms.

"Well…" Antoine said while awkwardly rubbing the back of his head, unable to think of a response.

"Nah. We've got nothing." Bunnie sighed in defeat.

In response, Sonic put on a victorious smirk.

"We know, you win." Sally said with an annoyed expression, already knowing what her love-interest was gonna say.

"I sure do. So, how's about we haul this thing to Tails?" Sonic suggested. "I'm sure he'll be able to get this thing open."

"That is a good idea." Antoine said in agreement. "That little fox is a genius with inventions."

"Hey, I'm a genius as well!" Rotor protested, crossing his arms in offence.

"Don't worry, Rotor. We know you're a good inventor, too." Nicole assured.

"Thanks." Rotor replied.

"Okay, then. Looks like this vote is unanimous." Sonic admitted with a smile. "Let's load this thing onto the buggy and drive on over to Tails' place."

He and his Freedom Fighter friends grabbed the capsule at the same time and just managed to carry it out of the crater, loading it onto the back of their transport buggy.

"Well, that thing was mighty heavy." Bunnie said, wiping her forehead.

"It sure was. I think I nearly broke an arm." Sally replied.

"Don't worry, Sal. You're arms are perfect." Sonic told her.

"You're just saying that because you're too kind for me." Sally said with a smirk.

"Perhaps." Sonic admitted.

"Those two are very interesting when they talk." Nicole whispered to Antoine and Rotor.

"Oui. I am sure they shall tie the knot soon." Antoine snickered.

"You said it, Antoine." Rotor agreed with a chuckle.

(Linebreak)

At a distant wooden house that has a small swing next to it, Tails himself was inside and doing some mechanical work on a blue airplane that looked much more advanced that an ordinary one.

"Okay, I just need to be carful with this engine fueler or it'll make a really huge explosion that'll get me and possibly a few small critters caught in it." Tails said to himself in a carful tone as he laid underneath his plane.

After a few small clanking noises and wrench operations, Tails slid out from the plane and he stood up with a satisfied smile.

"Phew! It's all good." Tails sighed. "I just wish Sonic would be here, right now. Knowing him, he probably got into trouble with Eggman."

But just then, Tails heard a knock on his home's front door. He rushed over to it and opened it up, revealing Sonic and Sally on the other side.

"Hey, Tails." Sonic greeted, giving his best friend a wink.

"It's good to see you're doing well." Sally said kindly.

"Sonic! And you brought Sally, too!" Tails remarked. "I wasn't expecting you to show up with him!"

"Well, these kinds of things can happen very often." Sally replied.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're both here!" Tails said enthusiastically. "Now I can show you some new modifications I made to the Tornado!"

"They sound good, Tails. But we're here on a different kind of buisness." Sonic told him.

Tails calmed down and he looked at his two friends in confusion.

"Really? What's that?" He asked.

Sonic and Sally looked to each other before they stepped to one side and revealed Antoine, Bunnie and Rotor carrying the strange capsule out of their buggy, while Nicole simply waved towards Tails.

"That." Sally said.

"Oh, okay." Tails replied as he blinked in utter surprise. "So… where did you guys get that?"

"We dug it out of a huge crater when I was headed towards your place." Sonic explained. "Nicole can't seem to figure out what it is or where it even came from."

"We were wondering if you could be able to figure out some parts of it." Sally said. "And Sonic is really curious to see what's inside."

"He is, Huh?" Tails asked, giving the blue hedgehog a blank expression.

"Come on! It can't be some kind of doomsday weapon!" Sonic said in defence.

"And if it is?" Tails questioned.

"Then… I'll clean all your bedrooms for the rest of the week!" Sonic stated.

"I like the sound of that bet." Sally said, chuckling in a mischievous way.

"Of course you would like it." Sonic muttered with a playful eye roll.

Just then, the three of them stepped back as Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie and Nicole entered the household with the capsule and they managed to place it down on the floor.

"Howdy, Tails." Bunnie greeted.

"I hope you don't mind, but we've brought you a little gift." Rotor said.

"I don't mind at all, Rotor." Tails replied kindly.

"So, what do you think of this?" Antoine asked.

Tails began to inspect the strange capsule with a curious look, but he couldn't make anything out of it.

"To be honest, Antoine, I have no idea what this really is." Tails admitted. "It's technology and structure are definitely different from what we've seen on our whole world."

"Yeah, so it's obviously from some other place." Sonic replied.

"A place that isn't Mobius." Sally added.

"But none of us can figure out where." Nicole said. "This is one mystery that's difficult to solve."

"You sure ain't kidding, Nicole." Bunnie said in agreement.

"Does this mean we should look at what's inside?" Rotor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean, it was my suggestion to start with." Sonic replied, causing everyone else to sigh annoyingly.

"Well, Tails? Do you think you can find a way to open this thing?" Sally asked.

"Hmm. I don't know." Tails replied, rubbing his finger under his chin. "Like I said, I'm not familiar with this technology. I haven't even seen Eggman use it before. It could take me a long time to figure it out."

But then, he noticed a small panel on the capsule's side and it had a few buttons on it.

"Hey, maybe this control panel will help me open it?" Tails asked.

"It's worth a shot, buddy." Sonic replied with a smile.

"So, which button is the one that opens it up?" Bunnie asked.

"I don't know. There's a lot of them." Tails replied.

"Perhaps you should try the red one?" Antoine suggested.

"Yeah, it's always the red one." Sonic agreed.

"Isn't that just when you're defusing a bomb?" Nicole asked.

"Let's not jump there, Nicole." Sonic replied casually.

"Okay. The red button it is." Tails said before he pressed down on the red button, causing a bunch of steam inside. "Hey, that did something!"

"Yeah, but did it open this capsule?" Sally questioned.

"I'm not sure." Tails said before some kind of holographic screen showed up in front of him and displayed the capsule with some sort of green image in the center. "Woah! Wait a minute! It looks like… there's something in cryostasis in this thing!"

"What?!" Sonic and the others asked in shock.

"You're saying something's alive in that hunk of junk?!" Bunnie questioned.

"Yeah! But I don't know what!" Tails answered.

But then, a bunch of cold steam shot out from the capsule's parts and the glass lid slowly opened up, causing everyone to become weary of whatever was inside.

"Well, it's open." Rotor said.

"But we don't know if it's dangerous or not." Sally reminded.

"Guess it's time we found out for ourselves." Sonic said with a firm expression.

"Very well, amis." Antoine replied, taking out his sword.

"I'm right behind you, guys." Tails added.

The Freedom Fighters began slowly approaching the capsule and prepared for the worst to come out. But when they got close enough and looked inside, they found something that was astonishing and unexpected to all of them.

Inside the capsule was a Lilac-Purple hedgehog that was seemingly a female and had it's eyes closed due to still being asleep from the cryostasis. She had white gloves with purple lines on them, a pair of golden rings around her wrists, pale yellow fur on her muzzle and chest, a small black nose, long quills that were wavy and reached the midsection of her back with another smaller quill piece sticking out from the top front, some black highlights on her arms, legs and long hair quills, a black sleeveless crop top, a black pleated mini-skirt, and a pair of black and purple boots with a small red gemstone on each of their middle areas.

Sonic, Tails, Sally, Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie and Nicole stared at the mysterious female hedgehog with their jaws wide open. They were not expecting to find something that looked exactly like a Mobian in this strange capsule that had no origin of where it came from.

"Oh… my stars." Bunnie whispered.

"What is this?" Antoine asked in shock.

"I have no idea." Nicole answered, feeling pretty speechless right now.

On the other hand, Sonic flashed a cheeky grin straight towards Sally and this caused her to groan in annoyance.

"I know. I know." She said with a defeated sigh. "You were right, and I was wrong."

"Definitely." Sonic snickered.

Next time, Sonic and the Freedom Fighters get a real introduction to Luna The Hedgehog.
