Chapter 3: Sonic's Transformation
As soon as Sonic was teleported, he felt himself vanish and reappear instantly in another part of Alagaesia. He stood up and looked around, noticing the forest around him. In the distance, a large city could be seen with many pillars and houses. In addition to that, a large covered domed building was in the center of the city. Flags and banners flew in the wind, catching the eye of Sonic.
That must be Ellesmera, Sonic thought. He smirked and remembered what Angela had told him about Eragon and Saphira. The hedgehog sighed and started to walk when a massive amount of pain hit him. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest in agony.
What's happening to me? He thought.
Sonic's skin started to harden, becoming blue scales that covered his entire body. His insides felt like they were moving when, in fact, that's exactly what they were doing. Sonic's organs began to stretch and reshape themselves. His chest grew deeper as they organs continued to shift around in his body, giving Sonic a feeling of nausea. He screamed in pain when his heart started to expand, pumping more blood into his body. His lungs also grew in size, making his breathing much easier and filling his body with more oxygen. The organs in his body continued to move and grow, squeezing against his ribs.
His chest deepened as his internal organs doubled in size, making room for new muscles in his body. Sonic's ribcage also expanded, giving his lungs and heart more room to grow inside his chest. The hedgehog's torso was expanding and growing in size as scutes covered it. He could feel his entire body burning up from the inside like a miniature furnace. Sonic grunted in pain as his stomach churned, making him even more nauseous. A painful, burning sensation rose up inside his throat and Sonic coughed, blowing out a jet of flame from his mouth.
Sonic was shocked to see fire come from his mouth, and he immediately gasped in shock. "That's new," he said to himself. "Whatever I'm transforming into, it better be worth it! The fire breathing is...an interesting development. What could...ahh!"
The hedgehog once again cried out as he felt black claws painfully grow out of his fingernails, tearing his gloves into shreds. He stared at his new claws which were growing thicker by the minute. Sonic's hands were also growing larger, thickening with muscle. His fingers were also pushing together, merging into four digits. Sonic's hands continued to thicken until they became massive paws.
His feet started to change also. They build up pressure inside his Sonic's shoes as they grew into large paws, and finally the shoes exploded. Sonic looked at his bare feet and saw that sharp, thick black claws were also protruding from his toes. His toes were also pushing against each other, thickening and merging together until he had three. The transformation stopped for a minute and Sonic took a look at his changed hands and feet.
Interesting... he thought to himself.
Sonic then felt his arms and legs beginning to bulk up, growing large as they put on more muscle mass. He screamed out in pain as the bones in his arms and legs began to crack, snapping themselves apart before reversing themselves. This forced Sonic into an entirely new position as he fell onto all fours; his legs and arms were now digitigrade. Also, his legs were stretching upwards and felt himself start to grow. He flexed his claws into the ground, bracing himself for the rest of the transformation.
A sharp stretching pain filled his spine as it began to grow outwards, causing his body lo lengthen. He felt his tail grow in length and stopped when it became four feet long. Sharp long wicked looking spikes suddenly shot out of his back, running all the way to the tip of his tail. Sonic's neck began to elongate, widening and extending as it grew upwards. Bones in his face and neck started to crack painfully as his face started to extend, pushing outwards to and fusing his mouth and nose together to become a long draconian muzzle. Razor sharp fangs tore through his gums to replace his teeth, sharpening into long points. The tip of his tongue became forked, splitting into two and becoming narrow.
The pain died down for a few minutes but then started up again. Sonic arched his back in pain as he felt his shoulders split in two when large bat-like wings exploded from his back, unfurling into a long wingspan. He flapped them anxiously, causing a great outburst of wind.
Sonic closed his eyes in pain when he felt them move slightly to the sides of his head. When he opened them, the pupils had turned into slits but the color of his eyes stayed an emerald green. He found in surprise that he could now see in infrared and ultraviolet light. Sonic's ears had also moved to the sides of his head and stretched out a bit. Two pointed horns grew out of the top of his head and curved backwards a little. His muscles twisted and rippled across his body, growing across his body and becoming stronger. Finally, Sonic continued to grow larger in height until he reached a gargantuan size.
The transformation finished and Sonic looked around, amazed at his new body.
So this is what she meant! Sonic thought. I've transformed into a dragon...this is incredible!
Suddenly he felt a burning in his stomach and he let out a massive jet of flame. He then looked to the sky, letting out an ear shattering roar and lay down on the ground to rest.
