That Adventure In 06'
The Sonic Chronicles- Act 1
The Wavy Ocean and the Winder Of A Shoemaker
"What's Eggman up to...?
I need to gather some information" Sonic said out loud to himself to nobody in particular as he stood at the south-east side of Soleanna in front of a small chapel, standing surprisingly still as he tried to figure out his next move to find Elise. With no time to waste, he began to do what he does best and run to find somebody who could help him. Being in a completely different area from home, he needed a local to at least give him a clue or hints of Eggman's whereabouts.
He approached a young girl about 10, simply dressed in a light green T-shirt and white shorts that went to her knees with her dog. "Hey" She greeted the hedgehog politely and the pointed her finger straight ahead to the pathway further on. "I saw a fox with two tails by the plaza. It seemed like he was looking for someone".
Then a light bulb went off in Sonic' head.
And after saying thank you to that little kid, ran down the road to the plaza whilst, having a chance to look at the town further.
The town of Soleanna was indeed totally different to the city of Station Square. It seemed to have a very tone down and certainly quiet atmosphere than the loud and busy life of Station Square, with the large spaces between buildings and no roads for cars either. The town itself seemed to focus on more of the architecture and history of the place with its giant monuments and major detail on even the smallest house. Everything in Soleanna seemed to some regal theme to it, some way or another. Though with the town being quiet look as if it was a ghost town as not many people were around even though it was the middle of the day.
He eventually ran past a grey, elegantly designed fountain, spewing out water as it should after the fiasco last night. Still moving straight ahead, he notices a familiar silhouette of someone in the distance, standing beside a tree.
*"Sonic" His best friend yelled while doing a small hop to try and get the hedgehog's attention.
"Tails" He skidded in front of him time, and then gave a cadet's salute to the young kit, his tails moving up and down by themselves, even though he was practically standing still. "Long time no see". He must have come to see the festival of Soleanna too.
"I'm glad you're here- I heard you tried to save Soleanna's princess from Doctor Eggman" Tails explained to him.
"You're going to rescue her aren't you? Let me help." He said pointing to himself hopefully that his practically big 'brother' would let him come with him on an adventure- why wouldn't he.
"I may not know what Eggman's up to, but it can't be a good thing!"
"Ok, with your help, this should be a piece of cake" He said with his friend a thumbs up of approval and gave Tails a friendly pat on his arm and then broke off into a run with his fox friend not far behind.
"I'll do my best!" He chuckled before he built up enough speed to then use his twin tails to fly just above the ground following Sonic with his tails spinning to hopefully find their first clue to finding the princess.*
"Please wait until construction is completed" A soldier of Soleanna's royal guard explained to them with no specific expression on his face as if he were a part of the Queen's guard.
"Now what" Sonic was thinking till he was interrupted by one of the townsfolk.
"I was going for a walk by the beach and suddenly these mechs appeared" A middle-aged man said talking to his friend, panting. "I barely got back alive"
Sonic turned to Tails. "Eggman. He's at the beach" He said in a hurry. "But how are we going to get there?"
"Hmm" Tails' though aloud. "Over there!" He shouted as he pointed towards to a small island across the sea of Soleanna with some kind of magic mirror on it. Sonic glanced at the island, but then noticed the only way of getting there.
"A trail of rings" He said, puzzled and amazed at the sight of the perfectly in line pure gold rings magically hovering above the sea. "But how do we get across"
"Sonic, there's a nice store in this town. It might help you find a way to cross the sea". He informed his friend as they started to walk back down the road to the town's shop. "One problem, I don't have any money" Sonic answered.
"Excuse me, are you Sonic The Hedgehog" A voice belong to an old man interrupted the two friends conversation as were right next to the shop.
"Yeah"
"My name Alberto Robert, and I've been making shoes in this town for a long time. I'm making the ultimate shoes". He explained. "These shoes use the power of Soleanna's mysterious stones... I'm calling them custom shoes" He then let out a short sigh. "But there is nobody to test out the full potential of these shoes"
Sonic got an idea and smiled at the old man in front of him. "I'll test out your shoes"
"Really you'll be able to do that? - Thank you" He said with warmth to his heart.
*"Just put on these shoes and go through the rings! - If I've made the shoes correctly, you'll make it to the end in no time!"
Sonic as skilful as he is, made it through all of the red glowing rings no problem and went back to elderly man with good results.
"Amazing! – They work exactly as I thought, my Custom Shoes are complete" The man cheered at his hard work. "I'll give you these shoes, so you can be able to use on your journey- the best shoes in the world, worn by the best runner in the world- I'm so Happy, Thank you!" The old man filled with joy and gave the hedgehog 1000 rings for his trouble as he and Tails ran back to the store.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Welcome to the store" said the shopkeeper. "We only have one thing in stock today and that's the light chip which allows you to do a light dash which makes you move at light at a trail of rings."
"Sweet" Sonic replied as he gave the rings to shop keep in exchange for the light chip that he then put in the hole inside his shoe and he and Tails ran back to the dock where the trail of rings were still magically floating.
'Let's hope this works' He thought as he jumped off the ledge of the wall and travelled across the dock to the small island at light speed with Tails obediently flying behind as they both approached the magic mirror, they gave a silent nod to each other and one at time jump in to the mirror.*
*"Darn, were not going to make it. Let's speed up" The blue blur said warily as he fasten his pace to follow the Egg fleet in his sights, flying in the blue sky above, so close within his reach and so close to saving Elise. Just beyond the sands of the beach, Wave Ocean with the sun shining down hard. A large area of terrain away from Soleanna of gorgeous sandy grains, beautiful grasslands of tropical trees and bushes on small single islands above on higher ground and old mysterious mountains of rocks, cliffs and caves.
It started out as a smooth run for Sonic and Tails, ploughing through all the robots as if they were nothing. Going through deformed molds of rock that had eroded into the form of (surprisingly) loop-de-loops. The pair at the same time enjoying the scenery as they were on their merry on to rescuing the princess. Though the going through the beach with ease, it got to a bump with Sonic when running across the boardwalk, the blue hedgehog on the way got into a... situation with a whale that brought back some memories and need Tails' reliable assistance to get out of it.
But even with that pit stop, Sonic was now hot on the Egg fleet's trail and now serious mode dashing off through the endless wave ocean, trying to dodge all enemies while still running at full velocity till went through one more loop of rock and bounced across stone pillars to get to the very core of the wavy ocean and praised himself at the first area of the adventure done.
"Too easy, no sweat" He said after doing a quick back flip.
*"Sonic!" His best friend yelled from behind, finally catching up to him, his footsteps making tapping sounds in the sand.
As he was coming towards him, a light as air feather fell through the wind, dropping on to the sandy plain so graciously which Sonic then picked up with his gloved hand.
"It looks like the princess has been taken to another location" He said innocently as he observed the battleship going off into the distance. "Let's head back to the city" And then Tails took leave back to the town of Soleanna, whereas Sonic just stared at the properties of the lone snow-white feather in his hand and clenched it hard in his hand knowing who it belong to and without a word, ran back to the city.
I guess Sonic never sped up enough-_-
I'm going to tell you now that this story is going to be 100% stuck to the story and will in so much detail as I can get to include the levels to the smallest of movement in cutscenes, so if you want see Sonic 06 without looking at the game, then this story is for you^^! But I'll alter the script if necessary and if you have any suggestions leave a review!
