The Book of Dash Part 1: Cataclysm

Chapter 1: Business as Usual
This story is not one for the faint of heart. It is one of sorrow and of pain, but it is a story only I can tell. This story is my own, but you're probably wondering who I am. More on that later, but for now, let us go back in time to a… happier time.
The year is 2016, and the place is Mobius (or as we call it, The Old-Time World). Sonic the Hedgehog was having a typical day at his apartment relaxing. Dr. Eggman had not attacked since their last battle 5 years ago, so he spends his time relaxing and thinking about his future.
"Wow, I'm so bored," thought Sonic with a big yawn. "I haven't seen any action in a long time. Maybe ol' Egghead's finally given up… maybe I should settle down and retire from this whole saving the world thing…"
Suddenly, a voice from the floor below called, "Sonic, come down here quickly! We've got trouble!"
Sonic rushed downstairs to Tails' Workshop to see what all the commotion was about. Sure enough, his best friend Tails was waiting for him. He was typing on his supercomputer when he heard Sonic come in.
"Oh, there you are, Sonic," said Tails.
"What's up, Tails? You sounded pretty concerned."
"Sonic, take a look at this," said Tails as he typed away.
Tails pulled up a security camera feed from Station Square on his monitor. On the screen, it showed a familiar-looking giant robot attacking the city.
Sonic recognized it immediately. "Aww, man… Eggman just doesn't know when to quit…"
"All the same, Sonic, we can't let him destroy the city," said Tails with a sigh. "I'll fire up the Tornado so we can-"
But before Tails could finish his sentence, Sonic had already left to confront Eggman. To them, it seemed like business as usual. However, it had only just begun.
