A/N: To celebrate the one month anniversary of the publishing of this fan fiction, I'm publishing two chapters at the same time! Enjoy...

Sonic groaned as he awoke. His entire body ached, but it didn't feel like anything was broken. As he stood up and examined his surroundings, he saw that he was in the middle of a vast forest, and that the sun was just coming up.
"Where am I?" he asked out to the forest, and the forest gave no response. He ran a small circle around the immediate area , taking in the scenic views of the trees.
He came to a stop at a creek and glanced at his reflection. He looked completely fine, but there was just something...off. As he kept looking at himself, he realized that it wasn't something on the outside, but something inside him. He felt that pieces of him were missing somehow. Yet he was 100% intact.
"What am I lacking?" He asked out loud.
A blur of yellow in his peripheral vision caught his eye. He glanced at where the form was, but nothing was there. He heard many bushes off to his right rustle at something rushing past them. "Who's there?' he called out.
"Prepare yourself," a familiar-sounding voice called out, and someone appeared right next to Sonic. Sonic was taken aback by the appearance of... himself?
This new person looked like Sonic's Super form, with golden fur, upturned quills, and red eyes. Unlike Super Sonic, this hedgehog wore golden bands around their wrists.
"Wha..?" was the only word Sonic could get out of his mouth before the other spoke.
"Yeah, yeah, I already knew who you are and are wondering why I even exist."
Sonic was still in shock. "You...you're me? But…"
"I'm not sure how I, your super form, is now separate from your body and has a consciousness and all that. Let's just start from the beginning like we just met each other." Super Sonic stuck out his hand. "Hi, I'm Super Sonic, what's yours?"
Sonic stuck out his hand, "Nice to meet you, me. I'm Sonic as well. What happened when you woke up?"
"Well, I was the first to wake up and noticed that you were still passed out. I went out exploring the area for a bit and was going to come back to see if you have awoken, but it looks like you woke up before I could check."
Sonic pondered for a bit. "If my Super form got separated from me, did any of my other forms get separated from me as well?"
"There was someone else who accompanied me on my short travels. I wonder where he went?"
Super Sonic's question was answered when Sonic was then trampled by a mass of fur that started licking him in the face.
"Ah! Get off, get off!" pleaded Sonic, and the creature stopped licking him. Sonic saw that it was another one of his forms.
There were more differences between this form and Sonic compared to the differences between Sonic and his super form. This form was more than a foot taller and weighed at least twice as much compared to Sonic. Their fur was navy blue, and their chest, hand, and muzzle was light blue. Their nose, ears, and tail were longer and curled upwards. The quills were the size and shape, but they had a tuft of gray fur at the end of them. This form had no gloves, instead having large, clawed hands. Instead of Sonic's signature sneakers, they wore large, crimson boots, with spikes jutting out the bottom and across the strap.
"Werehog?" asked Sonic, to which he got a bark of approval from the excited wolf hedgehog.
Super Sonic nodded. "Werehog here woke up soon after I did, and he didn't want to be left behind by your unconscious body, so I let him tag along. I don't think he talks."
Sonic scratched behind Werehog's ear affectionately. It was kind of weird that he was basically petting himself, but he didn't ponder on that thought for long.
Super Sonic called the other two Sonics over to him. "I've come up with a theory, Sonic," he said, pointing to the normal blue Sonic. "If we split off from you, then that means that it is possible that your other forms have split off as well."
Sonic gave an affirming thumbs up. "That makes sense. And it is probably best if we go and find them. Come on, let's go!"
Sonic then sped off in a random direction. Super Sonic shrugged and flew after, with Werehog managing to keep up to the others on all fours.
