Pre-chapter Conversation

Above a certain city, a bright light was forming. When the light faded, Izzy (formally known as Carlos) and I were seen floating. We looked down and felt our eyes go wide as we sweatdropped.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

°CRASH!°

"Ugh… What a rush…" I groaned as I stumbled around dizzily.

"You said it." Izzy mumbled. He then blinked as he noticed the city. "Hey! We made it! Wherever here is."

I looked around and felt a grin coming to my face.

"Ahhh… We're in Station Square, home of the Sonic cast!"

"Great…" My partner rolled his eyes at my enthusiasm. "So what's the story about?"

I put on a director's outfit. It was the same exact one you see in cartoons, complete with baggy pants that ride up.

"Too much?"

"Way too much!" My muse shouted. I shrugged.

"Anyway, this'll be a heartwarming tale of success featuring you, my fan character! No longer will you only be in sprite comics! You will be immortalized as a hero in my fic!"

"So let's start already!" Izzy yelled impatiently.

"Right!" I replied, giving him a thumbs-up.

The Adventures of Izzy the Hedgehog

Chapter One

The Unexpected Happens

Diary Square, a bustling metropolis full of many people with jobs. It seems that there's always something to do, but for one person, this wasn't the case. In an apartment deep in the concrete jungle is where our story begins.

"Ahhh… What a nice rest." A voice yawned.

It belonged to a seventeen year-old boy, who was lying in bed with a red comforter. The room he was in had blue walls. A dresser was across from the bed. On it were his TV, his Gamecube, some games, a VCR, and a jewelry box. The box was small & had a picture of a white kitten on it.

The boy got off his bed. He was about five and a half feet tall, had tanned skin, black hair cut into a fade, and brown eyes. He looked at his alarm clock, which was on the nightstand by the bed. It read "7:00 AM." He turned on the TV to Cartoon Network and listened to an episode of Pokémon while he changed out of his night clothes and into his school clothes.

By the first commercial, he was all set. The boy was now dressed in a red long sleeved shirt and blue jeans.

"Who's that pokémon?" The TV asked as it displayed a silhouette before going to the commercials.

"Geodude." The boy said in a bored tone. He sighed.

"Izzy! Come and get breakfast!" A female voice yelled.

"Ok Mom!" The boy yelled back. Izzy walked out of his room.

"Hey Sadie." He said to his cat, a black and brown striped feline. Sadie meowed and ran from him. Shrugging, Izzy continued through the living room & into the kitchen.

After eating breakfast, Izzy walked back to his room & grabbed the jewelry box off the TV. He opened it and took out the only thing inside. It was a charm on a silver chain. The charm was a castle with a dragon underneath. Embedded in the castle were five jewels arranged vertically from the top of the castle to the dragon's head. The jewels alternated between purple and green. At the bottom of the charm was a crystal, which the dragon seemed to be holding.

"My Dragon Crystal. I'd never leave home without you, my lucky charm." Izzy said as he slipped it on around his neck. He then grabbed his book bag and left for school.

Izzy found his Dragon Crystal one summer day at an amusement park. Since then, some rather lucky occurrences have been happening. For one thing, he got a lot of rare pokémon cards whenever he opened a booster pack while wearing the jewel. He also found money, lots of it, every so often.

One of Izzy's favorite game series is the Sonic the Hedgehog series. A week after he got his Gamecube, he got Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. It was that day that he became acquainted with the legendary, the handsome, the powerful… (Oh excuse me. I seem to be drooling. °Wipes chin° That's better.) Shadow the Hedgehog.

A little over a year later, he got the prequel to that game. Shadow wasn't in it, but Izzy was introduced to the gigantic, the sleek, the ultra-cool Egg Carrier. Since then, the poor boy's been obsessed with the series.

Later that afternoon…

Izzy was walking by a church on his way home. He was still thinking.

'Life is so boring nowadays.' He thought with a yawn. 'School sucks and my home life isn't any more exciting. How great would it be to just leave Diary Square on like some adventure or something.'

He looked at his Dragon Crystal and sighed.

'How great it would be if I had a Chaos Emerald. I can just teleport anywhere like Shadow can.'

He then got a smirk on him.

"I wonder… Nah!"

He walked a little further and stopped.

"Then again…" He looked at the crystal again. It reflected the sun's light in a rainbow of colors. "What if I can use Chaos Control?" He shook his head.

'It would be soooooo embarrassing to just yell out "Chaos Control" and have nothing happen!'

Izzy looked around again. Seeing nobody, he turned his attention back to his jewel.

'But I can't resist.'

He licked his lips and took one last glance at his surroundings. No one was around.

"Here goes…" Izzy took a deep breath.

"CHAOS CONTROL!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!" He yelled out. His scream echoed all around the area. Izzy looked around and noticed that nothing happened. He was still in the same place. He gave a sigh and shrugged.

"Oh well... At least I got that off my chest."

Izzy started walking again.

As soon as he took a step forward, there was a flash of light and everything froze. The birds in the air, which have been flapping their wings, weren't flapping. They were just floating. Izzy looked ahead and saw a traffic light that was flashing yellow, not even changing to red! A car was frozen in place in the middle of the street. It was about to hit another car.

"Oh man! What'd I do!.?" He gasped. He was the only one unaffected by what happened. "I better get home, fast!"

The brunet took another step forward when a clap of thunder boomed behind him. He turned and saw a circular light. His eyes widened.

"What is that, some kind of portal?"

He then felt a strong force pulling him towards the vortex.

"Ack! Wait! I don't wanna go!" He yelled as he turned and started to run.

He didn't get much distance due to the suction of the portal. Izzy ran as fast as he could, but it didn't help. With a last plea for help, he was sucked into the portal. It closed and everything unfroze. The birds flew freely, the light turned red, and the two cars crashed.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!" Izzy screamed as he fell in the dark abyss.

Post-chapter Conversation

"And there's the first chapter!" I yelled excitedly.

"Kinda short, don't ya think?" Izzy commented, causing me to sulk.

"Yeah, I know…" I looked up at the camera. "Anyway, how did Izzy use Chaos Control? And where will that portal take him (As if you don't already know)? Tune in next time!"
