He had to go fast. It was his only choice if Sonic were to escape Robotnik. Robotnik kept shooting his ship's laser weapon at Sonic. After he slides under a truck and Robotnik flies over it, the view freezes.

So, I know what you're thinking. Why is that incredibly handsome hedgehog being chased by a madman with a mustache from the Civil War?

The view then un-freezes and Sonic looks back at Robotnik as he runs and side steps to avoid running into various cars.

Well, to be honest, it feels like i've been running my whole life. Is this too much? Am I going too fast? It's kind of what I do

Sonic then jumped off of a couple walls, dodging more laser shots. He then takes a sharp left, Robotnik still following.

You know what? Let's back up.

We see a fast rewind of events to come in this story and eventually, the rewind effect stops on a blue sky.

We see a blue flash zooming around on an island that looks absolutely gorgeous.

This is the island where i'm from. It had everything. Cascading waterfalls, beautiful grass, sandy beaches, and even public access to loop-de-loops! I never had to catch a school bus cause I could run across the entire island in less than two seconds! Also, there was no school.I know, pretty sweet island, right?

We see the blue streak go through a loop-de-loop. Then, it goes up a ramp and does a pose in the air revealing the blue streak was none other than a Sonic as a young child.

And then there was me, a little blue ball of super energy. No family that I can remember, no past, just me living my life as I could.

"Yeah!" Sonic cheered as he went down a ramp across a gap from the ramp he went up

I was born with an extraordinary power and was told to keep it secret. And like any kid, I did the exact opposite.

Sonic, now curled up into a ball, rolls up some roped bridges into a hut and he bumps into an adult female owl.

After he lands on his back after un-curling, he laughs a bit. However, the owl seemed dissapointed.

This is Longclaw. She took care of me. She was like Obi-Wan Kenobi...if Obi-Wan Kenobi had a beak and ate mice.

"Sonic, someone could have seen you.' Longclaw lightly scolded

"No one saw me, i'm too fast." Sonic said. "And, I wanted to bring you this." Sonic added as he pulled out a sunflower he had picked earlier before getting back to Longclaw

Longclaw went to take the flower Sonic had gifted her until she saw a few echidna tribe members outside that had on tribal clothing, masks, and a few of them had bows.

"GET DOWN!" Longclaw shouted as she tackled Sonic and slammed the door to the hut closed before the arrows could hit Sonic.

A few arrows break windows on the hut as some more echidna pop up in the windows

Turns out with such great power, comes great power-hungry bad guys. And I led them right to us.

Longclaw saw an open gap in a window and took off flying carrying Sonic and knocking a few echidnas to the ground far below the hut. One of the echidnas almost landed a shot, but caused a feather to come off. Longclaw then reached into a small leather bag and tossed out the gold ring she pulled out, opening a portal to over a wheat field in the Pokemon World.

When she went through, she had fallen to the ground but wrapped her wings around Sonic to keep him safe from the fall. She smiled a little and sighed when seeing he was perfectly fine.

Wasn't looking good, but Longclaw had a trick up her sleeve. She pulled out a magic ring and used it to escape. We barely got out of there. Longclaw knew my power made me the biggest target in the universe. The only way to keep me safe was to keep me hidden, and a whole other planet was the best bet. So, where did I end up?

Longclaw, still carrying Sonic, took off flying. The following night, they had set up a small campfire.

You guessed it. The Pokemon World.

"Listen carefully, Sonic." Longclaw said, setting the young hedgehog down on his feet gently. "This is an alien world. Danger could still be anywhere." Longclaw further explains. "We have to be extremely cautious."

Just then, Sonic took off running around the forest. Taking in the wind as he runs around and jumping over logs with ease.

This was my first run on this world, and it was amazing. Nothing ever felt so right. This is where I was supposed to be.

Longclaw, not wanting Sonic to get hurt, quickly flew after him. When she saw he was heading for a cliff, she gasped and flew towards the cliff.

"Uh-oh." Sonic said as he fell off the cliff

Longclaw hen flew down and caught the speedy little Faunus with her hands before going back up in the air.

Even if it almost killed me.

"You're lucky you have me, dear." Longclaw said with a slight chuckle as she flew

Ten years later, when Sonic was a teen, he ran up to the cliff, next to Longclaw and sat down next to her, looking at the ground below and seeing a bunch f people and Pokemon working together on some sort of small farm.

The thing is, the more I ran, the more there was to see. And before long, I discovered what was beyond the woods. People and Pokemon!

"We should say hello." Sonic states. "Maybe we could be friends."

"We can share their world, but never should let the humans see you." Longclaw stated

"I...don't understand." Sonic states

"Humans are like any creatures. When they encounter great and massive power, they want it for themselves." Longclaw stated. "And you, Sonic, have the greatest power I have ever seen."

"So with great power, comes with great boredom." Sonic says as he looked down

"I believe you have this power for a reason, and some day, we'll find out why." Longclaw says, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Until then, we MUST stay hidden."

Longclaw then pulled out a ring.

"These rings are our most important possession. If you are ever discovered, use one. A single focused thought can take you anywhere in the universe." Longclaw stated, tossing out a ring, opening a portal to a planet of nothing but mushrooms. "If you must leave the Pokemon World, this is the next safe world."

"That's a lot of mushrooms." Sonic stated

The portal then closes. When Longclaw went to go elsewhere, she nearly fell but Sonic rushed over and caught her.

Longclaw took care of me when I was young.

That night, Longclaw was laying down by a small fire, Sonic having lit said fire and putting a warm rag on her head.

And when she couldn't take care of me, I took care of her.

Longclaw looked at Sonic, taking her final breath as her eyes closed, Sonic trying not to cry, having just lost the only mother figure he's ever known. He then puts out the fire and laid elsewhere in the cave to sleep.

She was my only friend...
