Preface: Hello, everyone! So, on the day that Sonic 2 comes out in the US, I have a new Sonic story for everyone! I didn't exactly plan this, but I decided to roll with it anyway! Anyways, this story will have a bit of a similar formula to my previous Sonic stories, but will see the usage of different elements than them, and will have a crossover with a different universe, as you will see just now...
FREEDOM PACK
Prologue:
The Night Before the Chaos Began
[Character Selected: Suki]
[Current World: Pikwik Planet]
[Current Location: Pikwik Post, Suki's Bedroom]
[BGM: Asher Lenz, Stephen Skratt - Hazel's Naptime BGM]
The moon had risen on another beautiful night in the town of Pikwik. Most of the citizens, from the tiniest children to the only slightly taller adults, had gone to sleep to dream sweet dreams before the next day's work came.
A small, lime-green hedgehog was one of the few denizens still awake. Suki sat on her bed, reading a story about her hero, Captain Kate, on another one of her swashbuckling adventures. Her friends Axel, Hazel, and Tibor had all gone to bed, so Suki was trying to relax herself before she joined them in the dream realm.
Right as she put her book away and turned out the light, however, Suki heard one of the sweetest sounds she had ever heard. Calm snoring from the other room. The hedgehog quietly walked out of her bedroom and listened. It wasn't Axel or Tibor's snores - they were a little too rough. This snore sounded soft and soothing, almost like a bird's humming. Suki opened the orange-spotted door and tracked the source of the snore to the orange kitten kicking her legs as she slept.
Oh, Hazel, Suki thought with a chuckle. She was always so rambunctious. That was when Suki had the sudden urge to do something she had never done before. Calmly, she walked up to Hazel, bent down, and kissed her on the cheek. Hazel immediately settled down and rolled onto her belly.
"Good night, Hazel," said Suki, patting her kitten friend. "I love you." The choice of words stunned her as she left the room. She loved her? She'd never used those words before.
But it would be the first little step in revealing how she truly felt about her friends.
[Character Selected: Sally]
[Current World: Mobius]
[Current Location: Castle of Acorn, Princess's Bedroom]
A strange buzzing sound and a flash of light woke up Sally Acorn. She was sound asleep until that point, dreaming of frolicking through a world made entirely of her favorite treats. Sitting up in her bed, the squirrel princess peered out her window. To her surprise, a strange portal had opened up in the middle of the field. That alone would've been strange enough, but something that only added to the strangeness happened afterward - three emeralds suddenly appeared in midair right by the portal and were sucked into it. After that, the portal vanished, leaving not a single trace.
Sally rubbed her eyes. That wasn't a dream, right? Was it? She wasn't quite sure at the moment. But she was definitely going to remember this. Tomorrow, she thought, laying back down, I'm going to get to the bottom of whatever the heck that was.
Postface: And we're off. This story will have eight chapters and an epilogue, so this may be about a two month ordeal. I hope you enjoy the full story, and please read, review, and share around, and I'll see you all for the true beginning of this tale. And also...please, see Sonic 2. I went to a preview screening the other night, and the theater I was in was applauding and screaming at the climax and mid-credits scene. Seriously, see the first one for clarity, and then this one. You won't regret it. Stay diamond, everyone!
