Chapter 2: A new beginning

~Mobius, December 3rd 1999~

The night is young. A small blue hedgehog sleeps in a tree, dreaming of his favorite snack, chilidogs. A large man in a hovering machine was chuckling as he typed away. "At last the ultimate being will be mine and nothing will stop my dream of eggman land!" he gave a laugh as a bright light shone as bright as the sun. The hedgehog awoke with a startle. "Huh? Whoa! I didn't know there was gonna be a light show tonight!" As the light grew more intense, a high pitched whine blasted throughout the whole planet.

The light cleared to reveal a young girl. She had big pink cat like ears on top of her head and two pink and blue cat tails, with blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Flittering her eyes, she shook her head. Curiously she looked around. "Wh-where am I? Where's Shadow?" Her eyes were filled with fear. Eggman looked at the girl in dismay. "Hmm? This is the most powerful being? It's so tiny... Hey little girl!" The girl looked at Eggman with wide eyes. "Wh-who are you? Where am I? Why am I here?" She questioned him. Eggman gave a smirk. "Never mind that! Come with me and together we will rule the world!" Quickly, she shook her head. "I don't wanna rule the world I just wanna go home!" Chuckling, Eggman pressed a button and a giant metal hand came shooting out. "You're not going anywhere but back to my lab!" Smirking, he pushed another button and the giant hand shot at her. She cowered in fear as the giant claw came toward her

.

A blur of blue came speeding by, scooping the girl up. "I don't think so Eggman!" The girl opened her eyes to see the heroic blue hedgehog. She awed quietly, as the hedgehog set her down. "You stay here ok?" The hedgehog instructed before speeding off. Slightly, she nodded as Sonic raced up to Eggman's machine. "Eggman, you've resorted to kidnapping? That's a new low even for you! " With a smirk, Sonic blasted through the hovering machine causing a great explosion. The girl covered her face. When the explosion was done, she looked up to the sky to see that the machine had disappeared.

Quietly, the girl spoke. "Thank you for saving me mister hedgehog. I don't ever wanna be with someone like that." She gave a smile as the blue creature turned to her. "No problem! Are you ok… um... Sorry I didn't catch your name." "oh my name is Vick! Nice to meet you." Kindly, she gave a smile. "Nice to meet you too, Vick. I'm Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog. You shouldn't be out here all alone. Come with me ok?"

Vick nodded sweetly. Suddenly, Sonic raced over the hill and left Vick in the dust with a surprised look on her face. Sonic quickly came back. "Oops. Forgot you can't go that fast. Ha-ha!" Kindly, Vick gave a smirk, then ran as fast as Sonic was going before. She giggled the whole time she ran. Then, she ran into a tree. "Ow! I'm ok." Laughing, Sonic helped her up. Vick then shook her head to shake it off. Both Vick and Sonic laughed. With great speed, Sonic took Vick to a forest where none of Eggman's machines would find them. Sonic jumped into a tree a laid on his back, Vick looked confused at the way he slept. She found a big tree and slashed at it with her claws. She made a nice little hole that she could fit in. "sort of like home…." Quickly she climbed in the hole and fell asleep, thinking of her friend she left behind.

~On the other side of the mountains~

Two sleepless bobcat brothers were walking around after seeing the bright light shine as bright as the sun. "I don't know about this Kamme. I think we should get back home." Said the light blue and orange one frightened. "Chill out Emmak. Quit being such a scaredy cat. I know what I saw it around here somewhere." They came across a 7 year old half demon boy who lay on the ground unconscious. He had big dark purple ears and a short dark purple tail. The two brothers quickly woke him up. "Ugh… Where am I? What happened…" Curiously he looked at Kamme and Emmak. "Hey there slow down. I'm Kamme." They looked at him with just as much interest. "And I'm Emmak. Are you ok?" Standing up, the boy spoke like a real man. "Yeah im fine. My name is Willis. Willis Donahit. Pleasure to meet you both." he shook their hands firmly. Willis thinking he had to be a man now, acted like one. "Why don't you spend the night with us tonight. You seem pretty lost." Emmak offered kindly. "that would be nice. Thank you" Smiling, Willis gave a nod.

Cautiously looking around, Willis followed the brothers to a seeming normal but huge pine tree. Quickly, Emmak did a special knock on the tree and the tree became a super cool hang out. "Whoa! Sweet!"Astonished, Willis stood in the entrance way.

Willis found a nice bed. He lay down as the roof opened up to reveal a new world of stars. "Pretty nice out tonight right guys?" Sleepily Kamme yawned as he spoke. All three of them nodded. Willis tried to count the stars as he slowly drifted to sleep.

~Mobius, December 4th 1999~

Sonic awoke panicking, not seeing how Vick mad her bed last night."Vick? Vick? Where'd ya go?" Vick called from her tree hole. "Five more minutes please…" She got up and crawled out of her little hole and stretched like a cat would. She yawned and looked around. "So it wasn't a dream. I'm not back home." Sonic looked at her in relief. " ok your still here. What exactly are we gonna do with you?" Vick shrugged. She had no clue what was going on . She gave a sigh. "I have this place I wanna show you. Follow me." Sonic lead the way to a beach, now known as the green hill zone. Vick followed with a smile. "I always like coming here. You never no what you can find. Maybe we can find something to get you home."

Playing in the sand, Vick smiled and giggled. She saw something in the sand. A bead. She pulled on it, but it was stuck. She dug a little deeper to see it was a necklace. She was so preoccupied, she didn't notice that she was starting to float. "Whoa! What's happening?" Sonic looked at Vick in amazement. "Whoa how are you doing that Vick?" Now upside-down, she shrugged. "I don't know, but it's fun. Weeeeeeee!" The two odd creatures began to laugh. Vicks eyes glowed and Sonic started to float too. "whoa! Your right this is fun. Ha ha!" for hours they floated. Then Vick helped gather some wood for a fire pit. "Now let's see if I can figure out how to start a fire."

Baffled on how to begin, Sonic attempted to make a fire. "Let me try Sonic." Said Vick remembering a show called digimon, with a lizard-like thing that could shoot fire balls from its mouth. "Let's see… Pepper breath!" Vick shot a ball of fire from her mouth. The fire burned brightly. Vick's big ears twitched. Something, close, made a sound.

A little ways away

"How much further guys? My feet hurt." Complained the purple eared boy. "Chill out Willis. We are almost there dude." Rolling his eyes Emmak replied. "yea just a little longer don't worry." Finished Kamme. Willis groaned. After all only being 7 he got tired easily. Spacing out he began to dream of being a bird. Quite suddenly, he started to float. "Whoa! Holy cow! What's happening? Kamme Emmak! Help!"

Kamme and Emmak quickly turned around to see Willis floating 4 ft in the air. "Some one get me down from here!" he cried flailing his arms. Hastily the two bobcats got Willis down. They started to laugh a bit. "how did you do that Willis?" Asked Kamme excitedly. Willis shrugged in confusion. He didn't quite know how he did it. His feet were tired and wished he didn't have to walk, then he was floating in midair. It was all very confusing. Then Willis' ears twitched. He started to sniff. "That smell… It smells sort of like me…. But… different…."

Willis started to run toward the source of the scent. He came across a beach where he saw a girl, with blonde hair and big blue eyes, and a blue hedgehog. He thought this would be a great time to practice pouncing, he got down low and wiggled his haunches, which made the bushes russle. The girl's ears twitched as she turned her head. Willis jumped at her and tackled her down to the ground. They rolled around a bit. "Hey! Get off of me! Right now!" cried the girl. The wrestled like newborn pups for a while until eventually they got tired. Sonic simply sat and watched.
