Chapter One

The Very Strange and Mysterious "Party Invitation"

Writer's Note:

In 2001, Luigi received his own game where he fought ghosts. In 2014, a Sonic TV show began airing and had a few spooky episodes. Now, you are about to read a Sonic story where Sonic's friends deal with ghosts.

Nintendo owns Luigi's Mansion while SEGA owns Sonic Boom, let us hope you enjoy the ride, dear Sonic fans and Mario fans. Let's do it to it...

One peaceful day on Bygone Island, Sonic and Knuckles were down at the beach, goofing off and having fun like all friends did. Eggman had attacked twice this week and now the heroes needed a breather from their typical hero stuff, especially some time to goof around.

The blue hedgehog and the red echidna were playing various games from tossing each other all over the beach to doing coconut hurl to just firing each other out of cannons at trees and garbage cans or Sonic's own beach shack.

"It sure feels nice to do somethin' stupid every once and a while, eh, Knux?" Sonic asked, fist bumping his best pal.

"It sure does," Knuckles replied, "Especially when Tails and the girls aren't watchin', besides, who needs your girlfriend to nag us and tell us what we can or can't do?"

"At least we're not horsing around at her house, that's how she nags us."

"Yeah, I'm a little bummed she, Sticks and the other girls think boys are so immature."

"To be truthful, you're the one who's the most immature, Knuckles."

That hurt Knuckles' feelings, he gave Sonic a pouty look, a small tear running down his cheek. "You mean," he sniffled, "You think we should act mature and not doing anything stupid that's deemed as immature. I thought you liked doing something stupid all the time, Sonic."

"What?" The hedgehog exclaimed, "That's not what I meant. I like horsing around with you, its just that there's a time to be mature and not act stupid and there's a time when we CAN do something stupid and immature. If I just hurt your feelings, Knuckles, I am very sorry."

"Apology accepted, blue boy!"

Sonic was about to shake Knuckles' hand when they heard somebody shout and turned to watch as a mailman dressed in black came running up, an envelope in hand. "Are you Sonic and Knuckles?" The mailman asked, catching his breath as if he'd ran a marathon.

"That's us." The intrepid blue hero replied, "Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna, how can we help you, my good sir? Any super villains up to no good?"

"My name's Rere'cros Ev'li Krad." The mailman in black replied before handing Sonic the envelope he had in his hand, "And I have a letter for you and Knuckles."

"A letter, huh?" Knuckles remarked, "Ya know, I can't read, so it looks like its for Sonic, who obviously is the one who should read it. Hopefully I didn't offend you, sir."

"You did not, red simpleton." Rere'cros replied, bowing his head as Sonic took the envelope, "I know about you both, you could consider me a silent observer."

"What's the letter about and who's it from?" Sonic quipped.

"Open the letter, read on and you will understand." Rere'cross answered, "I was only instructed to deliver the letter to you both and not speak further." Knuckles shrugged, "Kinda fishy, but we might as well go ahead and read it, huh Sonic?"

Sonic took a look at the envelope, which was definitely addressed to him and Knuckles, before proceeding to open it up and ignored the fact that the sender's address was written in some unknown ancient language that had not been spoken in centuries.

The hedgehog opened it and found a letter inside, he gave the torn open envelope back to the mysterious mailman before proceeding to read the letter.

You are formally invited to a party at my mansion in the dark forest, I have heard so much about your heroics and adventures and wish to meet you and get to know you soon as possible.

If you need instructions on how to get to the mansion, I have a map on the back of this note. I hope to see you very soon, hedgehog and echidna.

Sincerely, your oh so generous hostess.

-Madame L!

"Who's Madame L?" Knuckles asked.

"No idea." Sonic replied, flipping over the piece of paper to see the written map, "Absolutely no idea whatsoever. But this party sounds like it could be fun."

"You will find out who Madame L is soon." Rere'cross said, "But I will say this, I am one of her associates and she's the one who instructed me to give you two the letter. Now if you excuse me, I must be on my way, I have places to be.

With that, the mysterious mailman ran off, vanishing into the trees, as Sonic and Knuckles watched with bewilderment. "So, Knux, should we accept the invite?" Sonic asked skeptically.

"Are you kidding?" Knuckles exclaimed, "I love parties, what are we waiting for, let's get goin' already. Er, should we bring Tails and the girls along?"

"Nah, we'll be there for a few hours and be back before they notice. To the way past cool Dude-mobile, walkin' there is gonna be hard. Then again, I guess it wouldn't hurt if we jog there."

"Eh, we know the way, right?" Knuckles asked stupidly.

Sonic rolled his eyes, "Let's get goin', we can't keep this gal waitin'."

"No problem, buddy."
