This fanfic is loosely based on the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. The settings are based on the Sonic games only, not on any official comics or Sonic X. I love all the comics and TV shows about Sonic, but it's a lot more fun for me as a writer to invent my own version of events around the happenings in games. I don't own any of these characters, apart from Eleanor, but I reckon she really belongs to Tails, since he created her!
Gingerly rubbing my head, I crawled into a seated position, staring gravely around the room. It was trashed, the crumpled remains of the Cyclone lying against the far wall.
"Ugh, wha?" I grunted dimly. Under the throbbing pain of my head the memories returned.
She's alive! She's-GONE-She's out there! She's dangerous-it wasn't supposed to be like that, she was supposed to help us-I never meant for her to hurt anybody! I must warn Sonic!
It was a crisp and clear morning in the Emerald Hill Zone. Autumn had tarnished the first leaves, and scurrying among the balding branches, a small grey squirrel sifted though the copper foliage for acorns. A soft boom in the distance caused it to pause, sniffing the air, tail twitching curiously. Its tufted ears pricked at the sound of rushing wind accelerating closer. With agile muscles tensed, it prepared to bolt.
Sonic the Hedgehog saw no more detail than the blur of trees when he dashed past the copse, laughing happily. It felt good racing though his old home without the harassment of robots. Those were scarce in most zones since his friends and a mysterious character named Rouge had defeated Robotnik on the space colony Ark. But Sonic still anticipated his return and trained himself. He ran on, following the path round a loop-the-loop obstacle. During Robotnik's early attempts at gaining all the Chaos Emeralds these were loaded with dangerous traps. Now they merely provided an opportunity to show off.
Speeding towards a second loop, he spied a familiar blue aircraft headed his way. He spun around the obstacle to gain momentum, leapt, and landed on top, one paw shielding his eyes against the sun as he peered at the approaching Tornado. He dropped into the loop once more, spinning and spinning around until enough thrust built up to send him soaring towards the biplane.
"Sonic!" Tails wailed in shock when the hedgehog landed with a thud on top of the Tornado's wing. The plane wobbled in protest.
"Hey T2!" he greeted. "S'up?"
Tails looked ashamed. "Sonic, I got something to tell you," he began in a small voice.
"What's going on, bro?" Sonic asked, crouching on the wing, turned to face his friend. Under his concerned gaze, Tails' courage failed.
"Sonic, she's escaped!" he blurted out.
"Huh!"
"I meant for her to help us but it went wrong and she escaped and maybe she's gonnah hurt somebody!" he cried, rushing through the sentence as one word. Sonic looked amply confused.
"Who?"
"I'll tell you on the way! We have to find her before she-before anything happens!" Tails resolved, returning his full attention back to the biplane.
"But, Tails, who are we looking for!"
"A robot."
