Close Companions: The Movie

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, Ristar, Vectorman, or anything that pertains to any of their worlds. Nor do I own any of the music mentioned in this fanfic. If I did, I would be on my $250,000 yacht fending of rabid fangirls with a stick of salami. However, in reality, I don't. Reality sucks. So don't sue me.

Okay, the second chapter of Close Companions is about to begin! But first, a brief message. I just want you to know that I own all of the classic Sonic games, Ristar, Vectorman and Vectorman 2, and I have beaten them all. So, in that case, I should know all three storylines pretty well.

And now, with that said and done, the second chapter!

Scene Two

Opening Credits

An Average Day on Mobius

"Sonic! Wait for us!"

"It's not my fault that you are slowpokes!"

"We're not slow! You're just fast!"

"So, Tails and Mina are right behind me!"

"Tails is just fast and Mina is a mongoose! What do you expect!"

Sonic and the crew had come to Floating Island for a little R&R after recently blowing Eggman's new Oil Ocean base sky high. Knuckles, like always, had been reluctant about letting them come on the island again. However, some reasoning with Julie-Su had softened him up. Of course, it was reasoning with her mixed with a bunch of annoying jokes about the two from Sonic that convinced him. After all, Knuckles thought, you never know when a boulder might come out of nowhere and fall on him. Knuckles chuckled to himself at the thought.

The group was currently trying to chase down Sonic who snowboarding like a pro. Tails, being with Sonic for long, Caught up easily. Mina the Mongoose, who'd also come, just used her natural-born mongoose speed to catch up with him. Besides, she did the same thing when Sonic taught her physical education. 'Sonic, I think their right. I think that we should slow down." Sonic just broke into his trademark smile. "Aw, come Mina, don't tell me you're turning into a slowpoke too!" Tails noticed a ledge up ahead and slowed down slightly. "Sonic, watch out for…"

Too late. Sonic hit the ledge, launched into the air, and turned a full 360° before landing with ease and continued down the mountain. When Tails and Mina reached the ledge, they jumped down and continued pursuit. Sally and the others trailed behind, Knuckles gliding through the air and Bunnie Rabbot flying using her robotic lower torso. Everyone else was gasping and wheezing, but continued nonetheless. "I swear, when I get my hands on Sonic…" Sally said between heavy breaths.

(A.N. Please forgive me! I'm horrible at accents so please don't flame me if I get some stuff wrong. But, then again, don't flame me if I get everything wrong!)

"Now, now, sugar. No reason to get all upset over suga' hog."

"Are you trying to imply something, Bunnie?"

Bunnie smirked. "Perhaps."

Meanwhile, Sonic was busy hitting every possible jump while doing every trick that came to mind. Tails and Mina also were starting to were out. Sonic noticed this and decided to call it quits. He wanted to do one last jump and, lo and behold, he noticed a giant crevasse. He hit a nearby jump and, while he was still in midair, he bent his legs backwards, grabbed the middle of his board, threw his other hand into the air, and fell into the hole. "Sonic!" Sonic, however was prepared for this. He reached in to his shoe, pulled out two Chaos Emeralds and smashed this together.

Sally and the others had just caught up when they saw the flash coming from the crevasse. Within moments, Super Sonic emerged holding his snowboard. When he landed, he converted back to regular Sonic. He tossed the two emeralds in his hand as Sally and Knuckles approached him.

"Sonic, I believe that we've had a talk about taking the emeralds."

Yeah, we did. I was just borrowing them." He tossed them to Knuckles.

"Sonic, sometimes you make me wish that you weren't so fast."

"Pphhtt! Fat chance!"

The group of friends started laughing as they began the long hike up the mountain.

Meanwhile, two familiar beings were watching the group. "So, we've found one of them…" the robot replied. The other being was looking at the group through binoculars. "Yes, but the only problem now is how do we get him away from the others?" the robot stood silent. "I've got it! Eggman said something about the hedgehog liking chili dogs, right?"

Back at the group, Sally and the others had sat down to regain their composure while Sonic paced. "Sonic, what's on your mind?" Sonic stopped and looked at Mina. "I don't know. I've been thinking about something that happened years ago. The thing is, I've never thought about like this before. It's almost like I've having a… Oh, what's the word?" Tails spoke up. "A premonition?" Sonic snapped his fingers. "That's it. Thanks, Tails." Tails grinned. "No problem." Sonic began pacing when he stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. "Well, well. I do believe that I detect the eerily familiar aroma of a chili dog." Sally groaned. "Can't the chili dog wait? I mean, we're all still wore out." Sonic chuckled and began to walk away. "Nope, sorry, Sal! A chili dog can never wait. You can stay here. I'll be back in a second."

Sonic zipped off leaving the weary group behind. "Do you want me to follow him, Aunt Sally?" Sally shook her head. 'No, Tails. He'll be fine. Besides, with Sonic's speed, it's not like anything will happen while he's gone." A robotic voice began laughing, scaring just about everyone they. "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Mina turned her head to the source of the voice and screamed. Sonic, of course, was just finished devouring the chili dog when he heard Mina screaming. An explosion followed. "MINA!" Sonic darted of to where the group had been just to see a familiar looking robot carrying the last of his friend's unconscious bodies into a portal that resembled a black hole. "NO!" He ran towards it but, believe it or not, by the time he got there, the portal had just disappeared.

Sonic just stood there, dumbfounded. "It can't be… Eggman must have something to do with this!" With that, he ran of looking for Eggman's base. Little did he know, an odd spider-like creature was watching him run away. "Run, hedgehog! Run like the coward you are! Not even you can stop us all alone! Ahahahahaha!"

I apologize for making this a short chapter. But, rest assured, there will be much bigger chapters later on. And now, time to ask the pointless questions that force you to keep reading the fanfic in order to find out the answers!

What are Eggman and Greedy planning?

What does Greedy need the giant missile for?

Will Sonic ever find his friends again?

And who is the spider-like creature that keeps popping up at the end of each chapter?

Well, you'll just have to keep reading then. Won't you?

Sonic: Or, they could just wait until there is a lot of chapters, then read the ones they think answer the questions.

Metal Sonic EX: Sssshhhhhhh! Be quiet! Don't give them any ideas!

Sonic: Why not? I mean, this has to be the most…

Metal Sonic EX: -summons a bolt of lightning to hit Sonic- AND I SHALL STRIKE UPON THEE WITH GREAT VENGENCE!

Sonic: …incredible thing I've ever read. dies X(
