Sonic the Hedgehog was fixing a few nuts and bolts on a machine his friend, Tails was working on. It was supposed to be a transporter between worlds so they can visit. Tails walked in the room with a glowing yellow gem in his hand and sat down at a computer console next to the machine.

"All set, buddy?" Sonic asked as he stood up.

"All set." Tails confirmed. The fox then placed the gem within a slot, surrounded by six other colored gems. He then started to type away on the computer. "Preparing Planetary Transporter now! Setting coordinates to nearest planet with possible life."

As the machine started to power up, the gems started to glow brightly. Tails looked over to Sonic with a stern look. "Sonic! Try and contain the power of the Emeralds!"

"Got it!" Sonic said as he closed his eyes and reached out his hands. The glow of the gems dimmed down slightly, but they were still bright.

Just then, an explosion caused a wall to give way. The two looked to see what caused it and saw that it was none other than Dr. Eggman. He was sitting in his iconic Egg Mobile with a large, toothy grin plastered on his face as he stroked his mustache.

"Ah, Sonic and Tails! Just the ones I thought who'd been making the Chaos Energy readies go crazy over the last few days."

Sonic growled through his teeth as he clenched his fists. "What are you doing here, Eggman?" Sonic demanded.

"Why, me?" said the scientist with an innocent tone. "I just wish to take your little invention as my own so I can conquer other planets! So why don't you just hand over the little machine and we can avoid getting our hands dirty?"

"Like that will ever happen!" Sonic said defiantly.

Dr. Eggman sighed. "Well then, I guess we'll do this the hard way!" Eggman then pushed a button and rockets came flying out of the machine he was sitting in. The projectiles headed straight for Sonic but the hedgehog dodged out of the way.

Tails turned his head as the missiles headed for the machine. "No! If the machine is damaged in any way, the results could be catastrophic!" But it was too late.

With an explosion, Sonic and Tails were thrown to the ground. As the two looked up, the machine was badly damaged. Sparks flew around and the screen of the computer was shattered. The Chaos Emeralds started to glow brighter and brighter until it was too bright to look at.

"Tails! Get out of here!" Sonic said, as he threw his friend through the hole in the wall. He and Eggman were soon swallowed by they light.

"Next thing I know, I'm being attacked by you three." Sonic said. He sat on the couch within the Gem's house.

The Gems, Steven, and Connie were amazed by Sonic's story. They hadn't thought that the hedgehog could be from another planet.

"I can't believe that you are an alien!" Steven shouted, throwing his hands in the air.

"What's your planet like! Are there more people like you?" Connie asked.

"Let's calm down you two." Garnet said. "Sonic here needs his rest."

"But-" Steven said, trying to protest.

"No buts."

Sonic saw the sadness in the children's eyes and got an idea. "Hey, it's not too much trouble. I've been in worse conditions before."

Garnet thought about things for a moment. She looked over to Pearl and Amethyst. Amethyst was sitting next to Sonic, looking fascinated by him and Pearl looked very worried. "Alright. But don't cause too much trouble."

"Garnet!" Pearl said, trying to sway her comrade's mind. "We don't know what Sonic is like! He could harm the kids!"

"Pearl, calm down. He isn't going to hurt anyone. And if he tries, Amethyst will be here."

"But won't we need her on the mission?" Pearl asked.

"No we won't. She'll only slow us down." Garnet started to walk to a light blue platform at the opposite end of the house. "Amethyst, keep an eye on Sonic. We'll be back soon." With that said, Pearl and Garnet teleported away in a flash of blue light.

Sonic was very surprised at how their transport. "Whoa! What was that?"

"That is just a warp pad." Amethyst explained. "We Gems can use them to travel to different places around the world."

Sonic leaned back on the couch. "That cool."

"But enough of that!" Connie said. "What's your planet like?"

Sonic thought about the question for a good moment, trying to gather the words to describe his home planet. "Well, it is very beautiful: lush green fields, dense rain forests, dry desserts, and vast, open oceans. There is even a large floating island that one of my friends lives on."

"Whoa..." Steven and Connie said at the same time.

"Eh, kinda like Earth if you ask me." Amethyst said, shrugging off Sonic's description of his home like it was nothing. "Are there humans there too or something?" It was obvious that the Gem was joking but Sonic's answer completely shocked her.

"Technically, yes." Steven and Connie were amazed. Another planet that was almost identical as theirs. The hedgehog continued. "But they are not the dominant species on the planet. That title would go to people like me."

Connie seemed a bit confused by the hedgehog's statement. "What do you mean? Are there other hedgehogs out there?"

"Yeah. Quite a few actually. But I mean there are other people that are larger versions of their animal counterparts. For instance, I know a DJ crocodile, a happy-go-lucky bee, and a very stealthy chameleon."

"Amazing!" the kids said with enthusiasm.

Sonic continued to tell the kids and Amethyst tell tales of his world and even some of the adventures he'd been on. The three were mesmerized by the way he told them.

Meanwhile

Dr. Eggman was slowly waking up. His eyes opened and found that he was in a rain forest. Sitting up, the scientist found that his Egg Mobile was nearby. As he mad his way to it, two robots sprung to life, one a red, spherical one, and a yellow, cubical one.

"Greetings, Doctor!" said the red robot. "We are so glad that you have finally woken up!"

"Where are we?" Eggman asked. "I don't think I've seen this place on Mobius before."

The yellow robot spoke up. "Well... We ran some scans and it appears that fox boy's invention sent us to another planet."

"Another planet, eh?" Eggman said, stroking his mustache. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Sonic stayed behind, but knowing him that most likely isn't the case. Well, since we don't have any of my tech, I better start scavenging for some supplies."

Eggman got into his little pod and started to hover around the forest, seeing what he could use to start up a base. After an hour of not finding anything, the Doctor wanted to give up and find civilization. Though that would risk alerting Sonic, wherever he is. But then, the old man found what appeared to be a long abandoned facility. Flying in, Eggman found that the place seemed to be a research facility and there was lots of thins for him to build up a base and a robotic army. The maniacal doctor gave off his signature toothy grin as he began to hatch a plan in his head.
