Last time when we meet our favorite blue hero, he just save the day again from Dr. Eggman at Station Square where the mad scientist cause such a ruckus that caused the people there to be depressed from Eggman's action in the aftermath. Luckily for the people at Station Square that Sonic, Tails, and Honey were there to stop Eggman and Sonic cheered everyone up by bringing them their Christmas joy back with Eggman's mechanical reindeers he used for his Santa act. Unfortunately, some of the reindeers went haywire causing Sonic to lose control and take him out of the city. Sonic crashed landed in a forest miles away from Station Square, where he blacked out moments after the crash. Let's see what awaits for him as his adventure continues in this tale.
"AAHHHH!" screamed Sonic as he woke up in a warm bed. Sonic was breathing heavily as he quickly looked around him to only find himself in a warm room with a fireplace as the only source of light. "Where am I? Just where am I?" Sonic said still looking around the room confused. Sonic then place his hands on head to and felt a head bandage on him.
"Just who did this to me?" Sonic asked. Sonic looked to right to find a drawer with a glass of water on top of it, which he grabbed and drinked much to his thirst. "I wonder who did this to me?" Sonic asked, wondering who patched him with the bandage. "The last thing remember was crashing and I landed in a forest and…" Sonic stopped talking when he saw the door to the room open slowly.
Sonic couldn't do a thing as he was still injured by the crash, the only thing he could do right now is stay in bed and see who was coming in the room. The person that came in the room was a woman who looked about in her early thirties.
She had a long brunette hair, wearing a light blue winter sweater and black winter jeans, she was holding a tray of food in her hands. She gave Sonic a warm smile as she began to speak.
"Oh I see that you're awake, good." the woman said happily. Sonic has never seen this woman before, but he went on asked her some questions.
"Who are you and where am I?" Sonic asked, really wanting to know what's going on. "Don't be alarm, my name is Beth." Beth said placing the tray of food on the drawer next to the bed. "And my second question?" Sonic asked. "You're in my house right now, right here in the town village of Avale in the middle of a forest." Beth answered.
"So are you the one who patched me up and brought me here?" Sonic asked once again. "Yes and no." Beth answered with a smile. "Yes I patched you up, but I'm not the one who brought you here." Beth said, making Sonic have a questioned looked on his face.
Sonic and Beth then turned their heads to the door as it was slowly opening. "Here is the person that brought you here, come on out don't be shy." Beth said as a five year girl who looked almost like the woman, shyly came in the room. Sonic recognize her as she was the last thing he remember seeing before he blacked out from the crashed.
"He...hello." the little girl shyly said at the door. "Come on Carol say hello to the hedgehog you saved a little closer to him." Beth said smiling. "I believe you haven't told us your name?" Beth asked. "I'm Sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog." Sonic said, seeing that he can trust the two as they went as far to patch him up and bring him to their place.
"Sonic, this is my daughter Carol, she was the one who found you and brought you here." Beth said. Sonic the turned his to Carol and gave her a small smile. Carol hid behind her mother as the hedgehog looked at her. "Haha sorry about that, Carol is shy meeting new people." Beth said chuckling from her daughter's shyness from the hedgehog.
"It's okay, it's not everyday that you meet a blue talking hedgehog hahaha." Sonic said teasing himself. "I….I….I found this on your head." Carol said shyly coming towards Sonic with the Santa hat he was wearing before in her hand.
"Hey theres my hat." Sonic said happily as he got the Santa hat from Carol. "Sonic I hope you don't mind me asking, but what happen before the crash. I'm quite curious how you came here in the first place." Beth asked. "Well it started hours ago…" Sonic said beginning to tell his story, putting on the Santa hat.
Moments later
"And thats when your daughter found me in the crash site in the forest." Sonic said finishing his story while finishing up the food Beth left on the drawer. Both Beth and Carol were surprised by the things the hedgehog's actions in his story. Especially Carol who had a smile throughout the story. "My wish did came true!" Carol said happily as she gave Sonic a hopeful smile. Both Sonic and Beth looked at Carol confused by what she just said.
"What do you mean that your wish came true dear?" Beth asked her daughter. "Last night I saw a shooting star and I wish a for someone who can help us find my dad." Carol said. "Help you find your dad?" Sonic asked confused by what she said about someone helping to find her dad.
"Sorry about my daughter's remark Sonic, you see for a few months now people have been going missing. Some people think that something is kidnapping the people in the the forest by who knows what." Beth said as she turned her head away from Sonic. "They even got my husband too when he was out into the forest." Beth said sadly.
This made Sonic curious and wanted to learn more about the missing people. "Have people ever gone looking for them?" Sonic asked. "Yes but those that go looking for them end up missing as well." Beth said. "We tried our best and send some of the best people to do the job, but they end up having the same fate." Beth said. Sonic then had a bold smile as he tried to get out of bed for action.
"Not if I have anything to do about it. Arg!" Sonic screamed in pain as he tried to get out of bed. "Sonic please don't get out of bed you're still injured from the crash." Beth said trying to make the hedgehog stay in bed. "Right now get some rest, you need to it to heal your body." Beth said.
"Fine, just so you know I'm a fast healer. I'll be up on my feet tomorrow." Sonic stated as he went back to bed. Beth nodded as she left the room with the food tray Sonic ate from, leaving Sonic alone with Carol.
"Sonic?" Carol said looking at Sonic. "Yeah?" Sonic asked. "Can you really find my dad and the missing people too?" Carol asked. "Yes I can." Sonic said happily making Carol smile. "Tell me Carol what do you want for Christmas." Sonic asked the little girl.
"All I want is my dad to come back safe and sound with me and mom and the missing people to come back to their families. Thats really what I want for Christmas. I don't care about the presents like most kids do. I just really want my dad back" Carol said, making Sonic smile at her love for her family.
"Then I'll make a promise to find your father and the missing the people." Sonic said. "Really. A promise?" Carol said looking at the hedgehog with hopeful eyes. "Not just a boring old promise. A Christmas promise. This is my thanks to you for helping me out back in the forest." Sonic said in his trademark grin while giving Carol a thumbs up.
"You're really gonna help find my dad and the others just like that." Carol said as she was getting close to Sonic, still unbelieving that Sonic was willing to help. "Eeyup helping people is what I do and enjoy doing. It's like my job or something." Sonic stated. "I never met someone that was so willing to help out let alone enjoy liking it." Beth said, while coming in the room.
"Well now you have." Sonic replied back with his trademark grin. "Come on Carol it's time to go to bed, you can talk to Sonic tomorrow." Beth said as she and her daughter left the room, leaving Sonic all alone. "Tomorrow it's gonna be one heck of an adventure, I'm really feeling it hahaha." Sonic said laughing at the last words he said before sleeping.
The next day
News about Sonic going to find the missing people spread fast as the people of Avale was small place compared to many other places Sonic has been to before. Some people of Avale had some hope that the blue hedgehog would find their loves and bring them back. Other people didn't believe the hedgehog could not do it and think that he would end up missing as the others. What really shocked the people most about it all was that Sonic was going alone with no weapons or protection of any sort.
The day came as the sun was shining bright above the cloudy sky over the village of Avale. Sonic was stretching his legs outside of Beth's house getting ready for the adventure that awaits him. Beth came out her house with her daughter holding something in her arms. Beth came close to Sonic as he kept on stretching his legs. "Man, my body does my feel great after a long rest." Sonic happily as his body was back to shape.
"Sonic are you sure don't need anything that can you help you?" Beth asked as she was concern for the blue hero. "No I don't, all I need are theses shoes and gloves and I'll be fine." Sonic pointing to his trademark shoes and gloves. "Well can you least take this red winter scarf. I don't want you to have sore throat from the cold weather." Carol said handing the red scarf to Sonic.
Sonic grabbed the red winter scarf and put it around his neck feeling the warmth wearing it. "Wow this scarf is warm, thanks." Sonic said thanking Carol. "It belongs to my husband Mike, seeing that weather here gets colder as the day goes, Carol figures you'll need it at the moment." Beth said as Sonic nodded.
Sonic then looked at Carol and got to his knee to be at the same level of height of her. "Sonic please come back safe." Carol said looking into Sonic's emerald eyes.
"Don't worry I'll be back soon, beside I made a Christmas promise to find your dad didn't I?" Sonic said happily to the little brunette girl. "So you better watch out that you better not cry and you better not pout." Sonic said.
"Why?" Carol asked. "Because I'm telling you why….because….I'm here." Sonic said patting Carol's head and gave her a caring smile and put his santa hat on her head softly, as he stand up began leaving, giving Beth and Carol a thumbs up to them.
Carol smiled as she watch the hedgehog leave to his latest adventure, as Carol looked at her mother. "Mom I think my wish really came true." Carol said to her mother. "What makes you say that dear?" Beth asked her daughter.
"When I looked at Sonic's eyes, all I see is my wish coming true." Carol said happily as she and her mother watch the hedgehog leave through the forest, holding tightly to the santa hat that Sonic put on her head. "I know you can do it Sonic." Carol said as she and her mother went back into their house.
Sonic had a bold smile on his face getting really excited about this adventure. "I'm getting Mothras in my stomach think about this adventure. It's getting me all giddy and I can't help it." Sonic laughed, heading towards the forest. Unaware that he triggered something on the way.
Some place mysterious
"Aw man, the motion detectors detected someone coming into the forest." said a sad voice. "Put it on the monitor, I wanna see the person who is stupid enough come into the forest." said a burly figure. The monitor turned on and popped out in front of him as what he saw on it shocked him. "It's that blasted hedgehog again." said a female voice in a angry tone seeing the sight of the blue hedgehog on the monitor.
"He's gonna ruin our plans like he did before boss." said another voice in sloppy tone. "Grrrr….of all the places, he just had to come here." said a old man voice. "AW YEAH! NOW I CAN GET REVENGE ON THAT BLUE RAT AND SEND HIM HOME IN A BOX!" said a hyper active voice, pounding his chest.
These six individuals were none other than a group of zeti known as the Deadly Six: Zavok, Zazz, Zeena, Master Zik, Zomom, and Zor, which Sonic beat each of them back on their planet called planet Hex. "Zomom, Zor, and Zeena, I need you three to stop that hedgehog. So he won't ruin our plans." Zavok said looking at the three as they nodded.
"HEY HOW COME I CAN'T GET IN THE ACTION! I WANT TO FACE THAT BLUE RAT!" Zazz shouted angrily. "Calm down Zazz, you'll get your chance when it comes." Master Zik said calming down his student. "Aw man what's the point of all this anyways." Zor said depressed looking at his blue rose in his hand.
"Just leave it to us Zavok, we'll get rid of that hedgehog. Right after I eat this 20 feet long submarine sandwich." Zomom said as he started eating his fifth sandwich of the day. "I just hope I don't chip a nail when I'm done with that hedgehog. Maybe I'll take that red scarf he's wearing, it looks so divine." Zeena said, painting her sharp fingernails as the three of them left to face the Sonic.
With Sonic
Sonic was running through the snowy forest looking around if he can catch a glimpse of anything out of the ordinary that can lead to the missing people. "Darn no lead or anything." Sonic said still looking around. Sonic stop dead in his tracks and began to think of another way to find the missing people. Sonic then leaned on a tree to think a little better when out of a sudden he caught a glimpse of something glowing in his right, coming towards him.
"What in the world….WOAH!" Sonic shouted as he ducked down as the beam of light hit the tree he was leaning on, leaving a huge burned hole on it. "That was close….what was that just now?" Sonic said, looking at the tree with the hole.
The blue hero then turned his head where the beam of light came from, only to see more beam of lights coming towards him. "Oh oh this can't be good." Sonic getting ready for action.
The beams of light were all coming towards Sonic as he quickly dodge them thanks to his quick timing. "Feels like I'm playing a game of dodgeball, only thing is that it involves my life on the line." Sonic said, quickly dodge another beam of light.
The beams of light stopped coming when Sonic saw what was shooting them come closer. Sonic saw it was Eggman's Buzz Bombers but something was different about them. These Buzz Bombers were more deform looking as if someone tried to put them back together.
"It can't be Eggman who would do this, he would never make his machines look like this." Sonic said as the Buzz Bombers began to charge up their attacks. "Someone else is using them, but who?" Sonic said.
Sonic quickly ran up to them and grabbed one of the Buzz bombers and used it to shoot at the others Buzz Bombers, almost like a shooting gallery. Sonic destroyed the last Buzz Bomber and destroy the one in his hand when he was done using it.
"There, that was actually fun." Sonic said happily dusting off the his gloves. Sonic then looked down as a shadow was getting bigger and bigger underneath him. "BELLY-FLOP!" shouted a voice from the sky. Sonic looked at the sky and saw something huge coming towards him.
"What the!?" Sonic said as he quickly moved away from the impact. Sonic cleared the away the dust from the impact only to see a familiar foe in front of him. "No way, it's you!" Sonic said seeing a familiar yellow zeti. "Yeah it's me and I'm ready to beat you and have a snack when I'm done." Zomom said, pounding his huge stomach.
"Well I see that you guys are the ones causing the disappearance of the people of Avale and made those deform Buzz Bombers, am I right?" Sonic said getting ready for action. "So what if we are? You got a problem with that?" Zomom said. "Yeah I do." Sonic said as he started to run up to Zomom.
Then out of nowhere, Zomom pulled out a 20 feet long submarine sandwich with three layers of cheese and slap Sonic's face with it. "You gotta be kidding me man, a sandwich?" Sonic said rubbing his left cheek where the sandwich hit him. Sonic was about to charge up his spindash, only to get slap again from the sandwich. "Hahaha this is fun." Zomom said laughing at the hedgehog.
"Okay, now I'm seri…." Sonic was cut off as he got slapped again from the sandwich. "Now I'm…" Sonic tried talking again, but he kept on getting slapped by the sandwich. Everytime Sonic tried to talk, he kept on getting interrupted by getting slapped by the 20 feet long sandwich, It's been going on for about a minute and Sonic is getting annoyed by it and Zomom laughing and mocking the hedgehog.
"THAT"S IT!" Sonic shouted angrily as he ducked down, making the sandwich miss. Sonic quickly grabbed the sandwich and hold on to it like a pole. "Hey! Get off my sandwich!" Zomom said, trying to shake off Sonic from his 20 feet long submarine sandwich.
Sonic was holding on to it for his dear life holding on to the sandwich. He then thought of an idea, "I hope this works." Sonic said. Sonic then started to eat the sandwich rapidly, making the sandwich less tall and more short.
"Hey! Stop eating my sandwich, only I can eat this sandwich!" Zomom said trying hard to shake off the hedgehog off his sandwich. As Sonic got close to Zomom, who was holding the sandwich at the end of it, Sonic quickly got off the sandwich, making the sandwich only a feet long after eating it.
"*Burrp* Oh boy thats was good, could use a little mustard though." Sonic teased as Zomom was on his knee looking in his hands his once 20 feet sandwich, now just a regular size sandwich. "My beautiful sandwich, it's ruined." Zomom cried as tears of waterfall were coming out his eyes.. "Oh don't be such a big baby, you can just make another one." Sonic kept on mocking.
Zomom looked at Sonic with a boiling face of anger and started to charge up to Sonic. "Look like I made someone mad hahaha." Sonic laughed as he began to run through the forest as he thought of another idea to beat Zomom.
"Come back here hedgehog, you'll pay for what you did to my sandwich." Zomom said crashing through the trees of the forest with the strength of his anger.
For the next ten minutes Sonic ran through the dark part of the forest as Zomom kept on chasing him, making Zomom tired and weak from the trees he has been crashing through, while Sonic was singing some christmas songs to annoy Zomom to keep him chasing him for his plan to work.
"Come *Breathing* back *Breathing* here you stupid *Breathing* hedgehog." Zomom said as he was out of breath to speak properly unable to see the hedgehog due to the dark forest.
"Time to end this yellow slop." Sonic said charging up. Sonic got close to Zomom and jumped and made his knee hit Zomom's chubby face, knocking him out to snowy ground. "Ah shot I think I over did it. I needed him awake to tell me where are the other deadly six." Sonic blaming himself, looking at down on the yellow zeti.
"Sigh why not try looking over here loser." said a depressed voice
Sonic looked behind him and saw a blue depressed zeti he knows as Zor, who was leaning on a tree looking at his blue rose. "You! Where are the other zeti at?" Sonic said as he quickly grabbed Zor. "Sigh why should I, it's pointless if I tell you. Just like how pointless is romance, happiness, and life itself." Zor said depressed still looking at his blue rose.
"Well actually have to agree with you about romance, it's so pointless." Sonic said agreeing with the depressed zeti about romance being pointless. "Now tell me where are…" Sonic was cut off as Zor disappeared in front of him. "Hey where did you go?" Sonic said looking around the forest.
"Over here." Zor said looking down at his out cold yellow zeti friend. "Seeing others in pain is actually one of the few things that make me little happy." Zor said looking at Zomom who was knocked out on the snowy ground. "No I'm over here." said another Zor coming into the scene.
"No I'm over here." said another Zor. Soon multiple Zors were coming in as they looked ready to attack Sonic. "You can't beat me Sonic, just give up. Just like I given up on life." one of the Zor clones said. They all charge up to the blue hero as he got ready for action.
Sonic blocked and attacked their moves as they were ganging up on him trying to get the best of him in this handicap fight. As Sonic kept on fighting them off, more and more clones kept on appearing making the fight pointless if he kept on fighting. "I gotta find a way to stop these clone from coming." Sonic said in his head while fighting.
Sonic then took a note of something while fighting these clones that none of them had a blue rose in their hands and one did, which he presume was the real Zor who was summoning the clones. "That must be the real Zor, looks like I got this in the bag." Sonic said as a blue aura surrounded his whole body charging up his super boost. Sonic charged through the multiple clones like a rocket, closing in near the real Zor.
"What the…." Zor said as he stopped looking at his blue rose not really paying attention to his clones begin attacked as he then got body charge by Sonic sending him crashing through multiple trees at a high speed knocking him out.
"Will the real Zor, please stand up." Sonic sang, mocking Zor. Sonic then looked at the Zor clones as they all disappear in front of him, when the real Zor was beaten by Sonic's super boost. "Life is not pointless if you make the best of it!" Sonic shouted at Zor, putting up a thumbs up to the zeti.
"And I knocked him out didn't I?" Sonic said looking at the knocked out depressed zeti. "Shot I did, how am I suppose to find out what they are planning and see if they are involve of the disappearance of the people." Sonic said, pounding his forehead for his mistake.
"We'll at least that takes care of him. I better...huh?" Sonic looked up and saw Zor's blue rose floating down to ground gently. Sonic picked at looked at the blue rose carefully as he began to sing.
"Do do do, another one bites the dust. And another one gone. Another one bites the dust." Sonic sang leaving the dark forest while dancing in victory continuing his adventure.
