Chapter 2
Where are we?
Pain
Unimaginable pain
that's what sonic felt
His whole body felt like it was on fire, he's ears were ringing, while his mind couldn't think straight
"w-what the heck happened?" He groaned
He slowly and painfully got up, as his eyes adjusted, he immediately noticed Classic sonic laying on the floor unconscious right next to him, he also noticed the seven chaos emeralds laying around the two of them as well.
Modern Sonic crouched down to his past self and slightly nudged him trying to wake him up
"Rise and shine! Sleepy head, we need to figure out where we are because I doubt we're in green hills" sonic stated
Suddenly Sonics hand was swatted away by classic sonic as he started to groan and slowly open his eyes most likely feeling the same effects as modern sonic moments ago
"I know I know, I didn't want to get up either but we need to figure out where we are" modern sonic said
Modern sonic then offered an hand to his younger self as classic sonic weakly took it as his future self pulled him up to his feet, Classic Sonic stumbled a bit before finding his footing and then looked around to observe his surroundings
"Okay! First order of business! We need to find out where we are! By the looks of it we seem to be in an alleyway and I can hear the sounds of vehicles in the distance, so we're definitely in some sort of city, perhaps station square?" Sonic asked his past self
Classic sonic gave him a confused look
"Oh yeah that's right! You haven't been too station square yet! Well not officially anyway. But don't worry! You'll end up visiting there soon enough and I can tell you! They have some of the best chilly dogs around! Sonic said with enthusiasm
the mere mention of a chilly dog caused classic Sonics stomach to rumble loudly which caused him too blush slightly in embarrassment
"Right! Second order of business! That fight with those two eggheads and their time pet drained us so we'll have to find some food too !" Said sonic
"And finally third order of business! What are we going to do about the chaos emeralds? sonic said as both Sonics turned and faced towards the glowing gemstones
As modern sonic was thinking, Classic sonic noticed an nearby dumpster with a old, dirty, blue backpack hanging off the side.
An imaginary lightbulb appeared over his head showing that he had a idea as he zoomed over to the dumpster and took the backpack before zooming back to his future self. He then tapped his future selfs shoulder trying to get his attention, when modern sonic turned to him, he pointed his finger inside the open back pack signaling to put the emeralds inside
"Wow! Good thinking me! Where did you find this?" Sonic asked
Classic sonic pointed a thumb behind him towards the dumpster
"Well nice find!" Modern Sonic complimented while putting the seven emeralds that contained ultimate power inside the dirty backpack, he then swung the backpack over his shoulders and unto his back, adjusting the quills on his back to make room for the backpack.
his younger self gave a thumbs up showing that he appreciated the compliment before pointing to a bright light in the distance which most likely was the exit
"there's are exit, let's juice!" Sonic cheekily said
both Sonics then jogged at a fast pace until coming to a halt right at the exit .
As both Sonics peered out of the alleyway's exit they both spotted humans going about through their day. A local business man on his way to his job, A group of small children waking across the side walk, a man with a praying mantis head and insect legs helping a old lady cross the street……..Wait……..WHAT!?
Sonic intentionally rubbed his eyes too make sure he was not hallucinating anything, he tapped his younger selfs shoulder to gain his attention, when Classic sonic turned to what his older self was looking at, he's eyes immediately widened, while his jaw dropped, the little sonic then stuck out his arm and pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"Yo-you-your seeing what I'm seeing right?" Modern sonic asked in disbelief
with out even turning away from the bizarre sight, Classic sonic slowly nodded his head
As both Sonics watched the half man, half mantis. The mantis man casually walked past a man who WAS LITERALLY ON FIRE?!?? Now both Sonic's jaws were dropped. Soon both Sonics started to spot humans with these strange "anomaly's ".modern sonic saw a man with eight arms?!! While classic sonic pointed to a small child across the road who's arms and legs were made out of ice?
"SINCE WHEN DID HUMANS LOOK LIKE……..well…….ANYTHING?!!" Said a shocked sonic
Classic Sonic simply shrugged showing that he had absolutely no idea
"You don't think the time eater sent us to the future or anything, or what about too another universe?" Sonic asked his past self
His past self simply shrugged showing that once again he had absolutely no clue on any of this
Sonic then spotted a women who's back was turned to the two blue hedgehogs who was facing presumably to her son, he then decided to walk up to the woman so that he could ask her where they happened to be with classic sonic closely following behind. sonic then tugged on the young women's skirt to get her attention.
"Excuse me mam, but could you plea-"
Sonic didn't get to finish asking his question as he stopped mid sentence because he was too stunned to speak, he's younger self behind him simply stared with wide eyes at the appearance of the women. As the women turned to face the person who needed to speak too her, both Sonics got a pretty close up view of the lady's crazy appearance. She had two tentacles instead of arms and had one giant eye!.
"OMG YOU TWO ARE LITERALLY THE CUTEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!" The squid lady squealed
Before the two Sonics could react, the squid lady scooped them up with her tentacles, wrapping them around their waists.
"W-WOAH- HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Modern Sonic yelled while his past self had a frightened look on his face trying to escape the tentacles clutches
"YOU TWO LIKE HAVE THE CUTEST ANIMAL QUIRKS! SHINZI! COME LOOK AT THESE TWO!" The squid lady squealed even more while also dodging Sonic's question, she then turned around and lowered the two hedgehogs but still had her tentacles wrapped around them. They were put in front of the boy they saw who now obviously had the same traits as his mother. He then lifted his tentacle and was moving it all around Classic Sonics head getting slime everywhere.From modern Sonics point of view, he could see his past self trying to keep a straight face as well as looking as if he was trying to not throw up because of the little green tint to his face.
"He He He, you look like a stuffed animal!" The little squid boy said out loud in joy
Sonic was sure if eggman was watching, he was having the time of his life
"He-Hey mam, I know we're cute and all but I don't think he likes having a slimy tentacle all over him, no offense of course." Sonic stated
"OMG OF COURSE IM SO SORRY" the squid lady said as she immediately let go of the two blue blurs, right as she let go of Classic sonic he instantly started to shake his fur at a increased pace to get rid of all the slime.
"please forgive me, I was a little too excited after seeing you too and touched you both without your permission, I deeply apologize for mine and my sons actions" the squid lady said as a tears were starting to form in her eyes
" Hey, Hey, Hey, don't cry, It was just a harmless mistake, that's all!" Sonic said trying too cheer up the mother
"Thank you, Thank you so much, I know now that you forgive me but will your brother?" The squid mother asked
Both Sonics looked too each other a little shocked that the squid lady thought that they were brothers
"Huh? O-Oh Yeah! He should be fine! Right lil bro?" Sonic said to his brother
Classic sonic gave modern sonic a strange look but was met back with a look that told him to just go along with it. Although he was still a little grumpy about the whole slime thing, Classic sonic decided that it was all in the past and to just forgive her. He then gave her a thumbs up with a cheeky smile.
"That means he forgives you" modern sonic said to the squid lady happily
"Oh thank you! Thank you so much!" The squid mom said while putting her hands in a prayer like sign
"Again, don't worry about it" sonic said in a reassuring way
"Now could you perhaps tell us what city we're in?" Sonic asked
"oh ok! Your in Musutafu, Japan! The squid lady said
"Musutafu? I don't think I've ever heard of a place with a name like that before?" Sonic said with classic sonic nodding in agreement
"Really? Well how did you end up here? Are you both lost? Where are y'all's parents?" The squid lady asked
"We're meeting up with them" sonic lied
"And I guess you could say we're not from around here" sonic said as well
" Alright then we'll good lu-"
but before she could finish speaking, an loud boom was heard from far away with black smoke levitating in the air
" woah! What was that!" Sonic said while driving his attention to the rising smoke as classic sonic did the same thing
" What was that explosion?" a nearby man says
"Are villains attacking!?" A school girl said in fear
"Let's hope the pro heroes deal with it then" a man with spikes all over his body said to the girl
"huh? villains? Pro heroes? what are they talking about?" Sonic thought
Sonic soon turned his attention back to the squid lady wanting to know more about these "pro heroes" and villains"
"Hey! What did they mean by pro heroes? And villains? Sonic asked gaining the attention of the squid lady and classic sonic
"S-shouldn't you know this?" Replied the squid lady
"I told you, me and my little brother aren't from around here." Sonic said with a shrug
"w-well you see, villains use their quirks to do crimes here while the pro heroes use theirs to stop the villains and put them behind bars" the said mother said while her son was hiding behind her legs in fear
"it's kind of how our society works you know"
That word again " quirks" sonic heard it before, the squid lady said it before while holding him and Classic sonic. He was going to assume that word meant "super powers" here, as it sounded like villains and heroes here were fairly common.
"Villains huh? Those are the type of people that me and my little bro here love to smack down!" Sonic said while raising a fist bump to his " little brother".
Sonic's past self answer was giving him a smirk and delivering the fist bump. Both Sonics then started to get ready to take off towards the explosion site.
"Wait! Your going to take on the villain? But you need a lic-"
Unfortunately for her, she didn't have time to finish before both Sonics took off at impossible speeds towards the black smoke leaving both her and her son in shock
"WOW! DID YOU YOU SEE THAT MOMMY! THERE REALLY FAST!" The little squid boy said with excitement in his voice. His mother however couldn't get a single word out.
