Son of Sonic the Hedgehog (Part 1)
fanfic by Daniel Wheeler
Prolog: The Day Has Arrived!
Sonic and Sally's bliss started after the second defeat of Robotnik, for that was when they were wed. After a few battles with the Shadow Leader Negahog, and the wedding of Harmony and Melody, the great day finally arrived... Sally gave birth to twins, a son (who looked a lot like Sonic) and a daughter, who was a lot like her mother Sally. The son they called Sonic Jr., and the daughter was named Lily.
But the joy was not to last. Soon, Negahog and his troops attacked the palace. A guard knocked on the door of the lovers' bedroom and told them that the palace was under attack, and that Negahog was in the nursery. Sonic cried, "Aw, man... the kids!" Sonic and Sally raced to the nursery. Lily was still there, but Sonic Jr. was missing. Sally picked up Lily and said, "Lily's here. Where's SJ?" Sonic Jr was called SJ for short. Noctrina, a servant of Negahog, held the boy in a bubble of energy and said, "Oh, lovebirds! Looking for someone? Ha ha ha..." At that, Noctrina and SJ disappeared. Sally knelt to the ground, broke down and cried. Sonic gave out a furious roar!
Chapter 1: Sonic Jr's First True Friend
Sonic Jr was soon raised by Noctrina, while Lily was still with her true family. When both were of age four, Noctrina said, "My boy, tis time you learned to pull your own load around here. You're never too early or too late to learn responsibility." At that, she put Sonic Jr to work by giving him chores (the chores were neither too hard or too easy for the young boy). Back in the Light World, every night, Sally would go out on the balcony and look afar, praying that her son would return to her.
In the Dark World, in his room, Sonic Jr soon met an immortal pink female hedgehog named Jennifer Sonya Lightspeed. "Who are you?," asked SJ. "Call me Jenny!," the spirit replied. "Here me well, SJ. I know your true name and the names of your true family. Your parents are Sonic and Sally, and they are alive and well, despite what Noctrina told you." You see, dear reader, Noctrina told SJ the lie that she was SJ's cousin and that his parents died long ago. Back to the story... Jenny taught SJ how to read and write (and other elementary learning skills) when Noctrina is not looking.
Chapter 2: Two More Tragedies Strike the Light World
Later, a few nights before SJ and Lily's fifth birthday, another portal to the Dark World appeared in the Light World. Elias, Sally's brother, decided to take this opportunity to go into the Dark World and save his nephew, Sonic Jr. He gathered some troops and led a charge into the portal. But the next night, one soldier, a Private, returned. The tragedy was revealed: Prince Elias was DEAD! Some other people went to gather the war dead. Though in mourning, Queen Alicia (Sally's mother) was proud that her son died gloriously on the field of battle. But King Maximillian Acorn did not take it as well.
The morning after Elias' death, Geoffrey St. John went to awaken the king. But he would not. When he went to shake him up, he found that his body was cold, and there was no pulse or breath. Shocked, he called for Queen Alicia, Sonic, Sally, Dr. Quack, and Lily to the chamber. Their fears were confirmed- the king had died of a broken heart. All of Mobius grieved the loss of their monarch. Funeral bells rung in Echidnapolis on Floating Island. The Wolf Pack dressed in mourning. The Downunda Freedom Fighters held a candlelight vigil in memory of him.
After the king was laid to rest in the Crypt of Acorns, the people of Mobotropolis knew they had to continue on. So, the people unanimously decide to crown Sonic and Sally the new King and Queen of Mobotropolis.
Chapter 3: Treachery is Revealed
Sonic Jr and Lily soon turned to the age of five. While SJ was sweeping a room's floor, he and Jenny (who was only visible to the young prince) eavesdropped on Noctrina talking to Negahog. "Are you sure he believes your lie?," Negahog asked Noctrina, to which she replied, "Yes, milord. He does not know anything yet." Negahog said, "It won't be long, however, until he discovers the truth. I need you to find a way to be rid of him... though it does not have to be right away, but soon!" Noctrina said, "Yes. In a way, it's a shame I have to kill the lad. He shows true promise in being a Dark Worlder, maybe even a member of your NegaPack. But I can't risk him turning against us!" "Good...," Negahog grinned. "Then let us see to it that it remains hidden from him."
Jenny and SJ gasped when they learned of this. They knew they had to act fast! Jenny then snapped her fingers and said, "I recall some spell books in the library that may help. Follow me, and I'll get you a spell book that may prove useful to you." So the two raced to the library.
To be continued...
