Chapter 4: Sonic the hedgehog?

His head was throbbing and his body felt like it was being crushed by a bulldozer, but he knew he had to fight the pain and wake up. Sonic slowly opened his eyes, but at that instant, he regretted it, because the sunlight beamed in his eyes.

Wait a minute, sunlight?

Knowing, he had to get up, Sonic slowly pushed himself off the dirt.

Dirt?

He scanned his surroundings and it turns out, he's in a forest.

"A forest? How did I get here?" he questioned himself.

Dusting himself off, Sonic rubbed his head.

"Aw man, the last thing I remember is protecting that hedgehog and then that Eggman guy-"

Sonic quickly cut himself off as he was staring at his hand. It was...gloved.

"Gloves, I don't remember wearing gloves to school today. In fact, I don't even own any gloves. All I usually wear is my jacket-"

Again Sonic cut himself off as he felt a slight breeze on his arms and noticed he wasn't wearing his favorite blue jacket. In fact, he wasn't wearing any clothes, not even his underwear. All he was wearing were white gloves, white socks, and his golden buckled red sneakers.

But, the strange thing is, his whole body except his belly, arms, his inner ears, and an area around his mouth, was covered with blue fur and quills. Even, those parts had fur, but short peach fur.

"Aw man, what the hell happened to me!?" Sonic shouted in alarm.

Quickly scanning for a clear surface, Sonic spotted a small little puddle and looked in his reflection.

The poor teen nearly screamed at the top of his lungs when he glanced at his reflection.

In his reflection, showed him as a over grown blue hedgehog with emerald green eyes.

His right eye was twitching rapidly but he calmed down quickly.

"Sigh" Calm down Sonic, get a grip on yourself. This is just some crazy, messed up, twisted dream and when I pinch myself and wake up, I'll be back at home yawning in my bed." he assured himself.

But once he did pinch his arm, he yelped in pain.

"Ouch, man, that usually works on TV." he exclaimed.

"Okay, so this is really happening, I'm a... what am I anyway?" he questioned himself.

Suddenly, he recalled the massive event that happened earlier this morning in science class and with Dr. Robotnik, but, most of all, protecting that hedgehog.

Sonic then snapped his fingers.

"I get it now, I somehow turned into a hedgehog, thanks to that Chaos Emerald." he concluded.

"But, the question is...why didn't I die? I mean, I'm glad that I'm still alive, but all that Chaos energy was too much for my body to handle. I should've been wiped out from the book." Sonic pondered.

Just as the hedgehog continued to think this situation over, a glowing light caught his eye.

Sonic whipped his head around and was surprised to see the same blue Chaos Emerald from the classroom.

He reached out to grab it, but as soon as a single finger touched the gemstone, Sonic eyes widened. The emerald was showing him something he thought was impossible for humans or animals to see unless you're psychic like Silver, a vision.

In the vision, was Dr. Robotnik in this metal red dragon robot trying to attack someone he was familiar with, himself as the blue hedgehog.

But what really caught him off guard, was how fast he was moving. The speed he was going faster than three cheetahs combined.

then pressed a button as the robotic dragon shot ice blades at the hedgehog, but vision Sonic dodged them with ease without breaking a sweat.

"Whoa." was all Sonic could say as the vision disappeared.

"Is that suppose to be me in the future?" the hedgehog confusingly asked as he placed the emerald in his quills.

But he shook the thought once his stomach growled.

"Y'know, I can worry about that vision later. Right now, it's time I grabbed a bite to eat." Sonic said.

And with that, he dashed deeper into the forest.

But as he was running, something new and shocking was happening to him. He was running incredibly fast, just like in his vision.

"WHOA! I COULD NEVER RUN THIS FAST BEFORE! I'M GOING FASTER THAN ROAD RUNNER FROM LOONEY TUNES!" he shouted.

Amazed at how fast he was moving, an idea struck his mind as a devious smile spread across his face.

"I think it's about time I saw how fast I can really run as a blue hedgehog!" he concluded.

Surely after that, he picked up his speed as he raced across the forest. He went so fast that all you could see was a blue blur.

Everyone in the school watched as was shoved into the police car. As soon as the police left, the principal told everyone to resume to their daily classes.

But the Sonic gang remained outside silent.

Knuckles and Cream looked glanced over to Amy, who was pale and heartbroken and Tails, who was pale and whimpering.

The whole gang glanced at the two and felt kinda sorry for the duo.

Sonic and Tails have been friends ever since they were young. They knew before Tails met Sonic, he was bullied for being smarter than everyone else, creating inventions and had two fake tails wrapped around his waist. Tails had those tails around his waist ever since he was two. But when he was four that's when he met Sonic, apparently Sonic digged it when Tails painted his bike from red to blue and decided to befriend him.

Amy met Sonic when she was six. She was on a playground being bullied by a boy 4 years older than her and he sure was aggressive. The boy had Amy pinned to the ground, apparently he wanted to steal Amy's lunch money. Poor Amy was screaming, sobbing, and kicking. But every time she did so, the boy would stomped on her back leaving poor helpless Amy begging for mercy. But that all changed when suddenly an eight year old blue haired boy, Sonic, came to her rescue by beating the crap out of the ten year old bully. The bully hightailed away from the park leaving Sonic to help Amy to her feet. Once Amy was up, the two suddenly locked eyes on each other. It was as if time stood still. Their little moment was interrupted when eight year old Manic and Mighty shouted Sonic's name. Both Sonic and Amy turned away from each other blushing. Sonic then offered Amy if she wanted to come play with him and his friends and Amy gladly accepted it. And from that day on, Sonic and Amy became good friends.

Suddenly, the school bell rung, meaning it was time for their next class, math.

The gang sighed as they walked inside the school.

Sonic was resting on top of a hill.

"Man, that run was awesome. I never ran that fast before in my life. I think I'll keep this body, considering I can run faster than the speed of sound. And who knows, it might be fun being a hedgehog." Sonic admitted. He stood up ready to go on another run, but before he could take one step, a dart suddenly flew into his right leg.

"Ouch, what the-!?"

But he couldn't speak any longer as he felt dizzy and his vision was becoming blurry.

And with that, the poor hedgehog collapsed on the ground.

A soldier came out from behind a bush as he spoke into a walkie talkie.

"The mutated hedgehog has been taken care of sir."

"Good, bring it back to base. The commander has ideas for it."

"Understood."
