Chapter 1: the hills of green
The blue hedgehog got out of the plane; there was nothing else apart from the plane he slept in that revealed any of his origins to him. He was sleeping in it, so it must have belonged to him, but when he sat in the pilot's seat and tried to start it he understood none of the controls. He studied the plane; it was a small old-fashioned bi plane, red in colour, with the name Sonic written on its side in white.
"Well I got nothing else to go on, so I might have well call myself Sonic." He said to himself
"Now if I could only…" he was interrupted as a wasp like robot shot a fireball at him "WHAT THE? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?"
"BY ORDER OF THE DOCTOR, ALL CREATURES ARE TO BE CAPTURED FOR BADNIKAFACATION", came the reply
"Badnikafacation? Ok that sounds… painful. How about… no"
"RESISTANCE IS NOT AN OPTION" it said firing again. Sonic dodged and it hit him in the foot
"YOW! That's hot! Your gonna pay for that, bug boy!" In retaliation, Sonic jumped at the robot, curling himself into a ball instinctively, the robot was crushed on contact. "How… the heck did I do THAT!" he yelped as he landed in a surprised tone. He became more bemused as the rubble fell after him, a small rabbit among the smashed parts. The rabbit landed in Sonic's hands, gave him a look, then hopped away. "Ok... bug robots with animals in… wait… could that be that badnikma-thingy that robot was talking about?"
Sonic shrugged. "Oh well, I might as well go get food or something, I'm really hungry. Just hope there is enough grub around here." He ran off over the hill
XOXOX
Dr. Ivo Eggman was flying overhead in his new invention; the Eggmobile an air based hovercraft with interchangeable weaponry and was able to have new equipment made for it, the perfect machine for a genius such as himself, He was over the southern part of the green hills; he had been searching for months, and yet still no sign of it.
"It must be around here somewhere, you Burrowbots keep digging. I want that gem found, you understand?"
"YES DOCTOR" said the lead robot; it looked like a mole with caterpillar tracks for feet and a drill for a nose. "WE WILL FIND IT"
"I might as well check the area's again for more batteries… Mottobug unit 1, status report?" said the doctor into the radio of his craft.
CREATURE COUNT, 50 DOCTOR came the reply
"Good, Mottobug 2, 3, 4, and 5?" he asked, similar replies came to each unit he asked until… "Buzz bomber unit 6?" no reply "Buzz bomber 6?" again no reply, "Where is Buzz bomber number 6?"
CONTACT WITH REQUESTED UNIT WAS LOST 1 HOUR AGO DOCTOR came the reply from Buzz Bomber 7
"WHAT?" Yelled the mad doctor "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I MADE YOU TO BE INVINCIBLE!"
UNKNOWN REASON
"Last known coordinates?" Asked the egg shaped man
0-2-ALPHA-NINER
"Right, you Burrowbots keep digging, I will be back shortly" said the Doctor "I'm going to find out what happened to Buzz bomber 6"
"AFFIRMATIVE DOCTOR"
"We will see who is playing games with my Badniks".
XOXOX
Meanwhile Sonic had already found a bunch of various fruits and was heading back to the plane. He had found similar robots along the way, crab like ones, beetle like ones, a chameleon like one, fish like ones and more wasp like ones each had an animal in it, ethers small blue birds or rabbits. He was wondering who was doing this, he was so busy concentrating that he didn't see where he was running, he tripped over something and dropped all his fruit. "WHAT THE?" he yelped.
He turned back to find he had tripped over a small blue gem, roughly the size of his fist, which was shaped like a kind of a 3D hexagon. It was glowing, and seemed to increase in brightness when Sonic got close to it. "What is this thing? Some tacky piece of jewellery, odd it seems to react when I get closer." He thought a second "Hey! Maybe it's a good luck charm! I think ill take it with me" he grinned
He took a moment to gather the fruit again before looking at the gem again. He took a minute and then headed back to the plane.
He was almost there when he spotted an odd shaped craft landing to another one of the crab like machines. There was a fat bald man with a big brown moustache at the controls. The man got out; he was wearing black trousers and a red shirt which had two yellow triangles on it, which jagged out from the top of the shirt. Sonic couldn't help but notice the egg like shape of his body and long thin legs compared to how fat the rest of him looked.
"Crab Meat number 3, any news on the where abouts of Buzz Bomber 6?" asked the fat man
"NEGATIVE DOCTOR. HOWEVER WE HAVE LOST CONTACT WITH MORE UNITS" said the crab
"WHAT? This is intolerable! What could be happening to my beautiful machines… how many units?"
"4 CRAB MEAT UNITS, 3 CHOPPER UNITS, A NEWTON UNIT, 10 MOTTO BUG UNITS AND 5 BUZZ BOMBER UNITS"
"BAH!" said the doctor "Who ever is behind this is not going to get away with this!"
"WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT ISN'T A RADIO MALFUNCTION SIR"
"I should scrap you for even suggesting that! My inventions do not malfunction!"
Sonic Snickered and whispered to himself "But break very easily"
"NO SIR, SORRY SIR"
"Hmph, get back to work, I know there are more animals around here to full my machines, and the Burrowbots are still looking for the blue chaos emerald."
'Aren't emeralds usually green?' Sonic pondered 'looks like he is leaving, time to get back to my plane.'
It didn't take Sonic to long to get back to the plane. He sat in the cockpit and started eating his fruit, he felt uneasy… something was gnawing at him, telling him to go after the doctor. He didn't know what it was but it was hard to fight against.
"Gah" he mumbled
'I will go after him when I finish my lunch'
XOXOX
Eggman was furious; his forces in the green hills had taken a major blow. Whoever had done this, he was going to make sure they paid. He had equipped his Eggmobile with the Eggmace addition, a giant chequered ball linked to his mobile via a chain. It was currently hidden, but he would unleash it with all his fury when he found this creature that was interfering with his plans.
On the other hand though, he did expect this and it would be a little too easy if no one tried to stop him, and he also wanted to test his invention. He was in the area so checked the containment unit, it would be a deep wound if it was destroyed. A lot of the animals he used to power his weapons would be lost.
"Good, but no doubt my new foe, whoever he is will pass through here, I best wait here and spring my trap."
XOXOX
Sonic was making good on his promise, as he travelled through the hills, he smashed just about every robot he could find, he figured he was making good progress. He did note that the farther he went in one direction, the more concentrated the robots where, so he decided to follow the flow.
"STOP" yelled one robot wasp, shooting at him
"No way!" Said Sonic as he smashed it "This is way too much fun… but I wonder when I will find the doc."
He took another few minutes but he had found he had reached the centre of where the robots came from he saw a large canister, with a big button on it, and he saw animals in it through the glass.
"Ok that can't be good"
"So, you are the one attacking my badniks!" Came a voice behind him
