All trademark characters and locations belong to SEGA. I don't own anything except the story. None of this is official or canon, just a simple fanfic.
Hi guys! Welcome back, sorry for the late updates, I have gotten busy – by that I mean severely lazy – but here is an anti-sonamy/knuxouge/shadamy/silvaze story! It just came up in my head and I thought I might as well just write it down. Enjoy!
"Who's there?!"
Not cool, dude!"
We're gonna be stuck here forever!"
"Why didn't we just ignore it! I TOLD you guys to ignore it!"
"Shut up!"
"Everyone, calm down!"
"Yeah, I can calm down when Sonic learns to swim, Knuckles gives up the Master Emerald, and Tails hates science!"
"…Harsh, bro."
"Mr. Sonic, what's going on?!"
"…"
Hold up! Yeah, you're probably wondering what's going on. It seems like everyone has lost their minds! Well, you're not exactly wrong! I know what you're thinking! And I swear that there's a perfectly good explanation! In fact, why don't I just show you instead of going with whatever's going on up there!
~Dramatic Flashback~
"Come on, Tails! There's no way that the waterfall is this way! Just look at the flowers wilting! It's obvious that they're not getting enough water!"
"Ames, don't be so harsh on him! I'm sure that he knows where he's going!"
"…"
"Mr. Tails? Why aren't you speaking?"
Tails turns to face the irritated group behind him and gulps. This is not going to end well…
"Um, don't freak out…but I may or may not have been holding the map upside down…this whole time…but! If we all stay good sports, and not blame someone completely innocent, I'm 95% sure we can find our way back!"
Tails glances at everyone, frozen in fear. Suddenly, Shadow's eye twitches as he roars in anger, leaving everyone staring at him, but neither one attempting to calm the striped hedgehog down.
"Holding the map upside down…? HOLDING THE FRICKING MAP UPSIDE DOWN! WHAT KIND OF SICK EXCUSE IS THAT?! YOU-"
Sonic runs to Shadow and puts his hands up innocently, wondering if the chance of coming back in pieces was worth trying to tame the furious hedgehog.
"Whoa, whoa! Shads! Calm down! I'm sure it was a totally innocent mistake! She can fix this!"
"Tails just dropped the map in a puddle of mud."
The speedster turned around to see Tails standing beside a mud puddle, looking sheepishly at a stained map falling apart. Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, Blaze, and Cheese all glared at the twin-tailed fox, leaving an orange rabbit very confused.
"Not cool, lil bro." was all Sonic could mutter out without having an angry crown of people tackle him to the ground. Tails slumped in disappointment at himself as Knuckles decided to break the very thick tension around everyone.
"Well, the good news is that this situation couldn't possibly get any worse!"
Suddenly, dark, ominous clouds filled the sky and it started to rain, leaving a certain guardian frowning.
"Dammit, echidna! You had to open your big mouth!"
"Shads! What did I just say?"
Your statements mean nothing to me, Faker."
"Well, now it can't get worse!"
Just like that, lightning flashed through the sky as a loud thunder roared through the trees. Everyone glared at the bubble-gum-coloured hedgehog as she cowered in fear.
"Rose!"
"Don't call me that, or I'll bring out my hammer!"
"Your weapons are no match for the ultimate lifeform!"
"Ms. Amy! I-I'm scared!"
"Cream, it's okay! Sure, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no clue about where we are, and a thunderstorm just erupted, but by now, things cannot get any-"
"Finish that sentence, and you'll regret it, Rose."
Silence became present as Amy closed her mouth, not daring to speak. Suddenly, a squeak became present. The group turned towards a rustling bush, with more squeaking noises becoming present. Silver gulped, before taking a step forward, and looked through the bush, only to see a small hamster cowering underneath the bush's leaves and squeaking.
"I really need to get back to the M.E.(Master Emerald, clever, I know), so let's just ignore it and figure out a plan to get out of here!"
But Knuckie! Look at that hamster, isn't it cute, hon?"
Knuckles growled, and rolled his eyes, hoping the new-found annoyance Rouge had given him would seep out through his eyes.
"Aww! How adorable! Look at it! Sonic, if I-"
"I'm going to stop you right there, Ames."
The pink hedgehog puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms, as Silver picked it up gently and scratched under its ear, making the rabbit snuggle into Silver's hand. This time, the whole group – sans Shadow – 'awed' at the cute hamster. Silver grinned, but couldn't help noticing Blaze staring at him, looking proud and shocked.
"You, uh, really got a sweet spot there Silver!" Blaze beamed as Silver slightly blushed, turning away from the group to avoid their immense teasing. Unfortunately for them, the hamster started shaking, as in intensely shaking, to the point where Silver dropped it after its trembling caused him to suffer a sprain.
"Not cool, cute yet ferocious hamster!"
"Uh, guys! Why is it turning red?!"
"Rose, what are you implying-"
Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion as a large explosion shook the Earth. Everyone went flying, and screams and cries could be heard as everyone hit the unforgiving ground and fell into an unconscious state.
~ End Dramatic Flashback ~
Hi again! So, yeah, that's what happened! Poor Tails, messing up like that! Oop, you probably don't want to hear me speak anymore, so let's continue the story, yeah?
~ Present Time ~
"Who's there?!"
Not cool, dude!"
We're gonna be stuck here forever!"
"Why didn't we just ignore it! I TOLD you guys to ignore it!"
"Shut up!"
"Everyone, calm down!"
"Yeah, I can calm down when Sonic learns to swim, Knuckles gives up the Master Emerald, and Tails hates science!"
"…Harsh, bro."
"Mr. Sonic, what's going on?!"
"…"
The Sonic gang stood in a cold, dark room, all feeling terribly confused, worried, scared. Some had tried to walk around, maybe finding a door or light switch, but luck wasn't on their side today.
"B-Blaze?! Where are you?"
"Silver!" The pair hugged each other tightly when they found themselves, before awkwardly separating.
Suddenly, a large flashing light appeared, and the gang closed their eyes and groaned, before taking a look around the illuminous room. Full metal. The walls are made of metal… was Tails first thought as his eyes adjusted to the blinding light.
"W-Where are we?" Cream rubbed her eyes and started whimpered, as she huddled close to Tails.
A loud voice echoed through the room, scaring everyone present. If asked, Shadow would never admit to being so.
"Testing, Testing? One. Two…Alright, we're rolling! Hello, fellow Team Sonic Members! Thank you for taking the time to come here!"
"Who are you?! Where are we? How do you know who we are, and we didn't come here!" Knuckles shouted, feeling aggravated that his so called 'time' was being wasted in a dump rather that protecting the M.E. He mumbled something under his breath, and Rouge was glad Cream wasn't nearby to hear that.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I must introduce myself! I'm the CEO of SEGA – Service Games! Of course, someone like me will remain anonymous, but time will tell! Anyways, I'll tell you why you are here in a short moment, as soon as two other guests arrive!"
Everyone waited impatiently, until a door slowly creaked open, and it was none other than a furious Doctor Eggman and Metal Sonic. A dramatic, yet shocked gasp filled the room as the two stepped inside, the door slamming behind them.
"There we go! Alright, time to tell you why you are really here! I've looked through recent days, and I've found out that the Sonic Gang isn't getting along as well as before!"
"How the hell do you have footage of us? Who do you think you are?!"
"Ah, ah, ah! Company secret! Anyways, that's not important! What is however is that you shouldn't be fighting! After all, you are all an icon to youthful children and teens!"
"Wait, what?"
"Uh-oh, I'm spilling my guts to these characters! Whatever, so, SEGA has decided that we need to take drastic measures in order to keep fights from brewing out!"
Sonic had enough. "Hey, we don't fight! We're best friends! And, as leader of the Sonic Team, I can assure you of that!" Multiple glares were sent his way as the blue hedgehog gulped.
"Well, now that you've proven my point, and if someone is so kind as to not interrupt me every 10 seconds, I shall tell you why you're here! To get the spirit of your friendship back, you all will be locked in this stainless-steel room for 24 hours! But not to worry, you won't all be bored! At the end of every hour, a challenge will be given to you, and you have 20 minutes to solve! If you fight during the challenge, five minutes will be taken away from the timer! If you do not finish every challenge, well, I hope SEGA doesn't go too hard on you!"
Loud chattering filled the room, most complaints, while more hot-headed members such as Shadow and Knuckles, cursed the voice speaking through the speakers, which Sonic was itching to destroy.
"Wait a minute! Why am I here then? I'm no friend of those rodents!"
"My precious time used to kill Sonic cannot be wasted by an inferior escape room. Let me go or you shall feel my wrath."
"Hmm, why you are here, hold on, let me check my script!"
Some inaudible mumbling was heard through the speaker before a dreaded answer was spouted out.
"Hmm, it doesn't say! I guess SEGA just wants to torture- I mean connect every character! Oh well! I'm out of speaking time, but your first challenges will be in 1 hour! Toodles!"
Some static was heard before the speaker was shut off. Everyone remained silent, before someone muttered: "What the hell?!"
Well, here's the beginning chapter! Chapter 2 will be posted soon, for those of you who are waiting on Chapter 4 of Awake, yet awake, it's coming soon! Preferably after the holidays! SHM out!
