Authors notes: Hi all new year new story! And no it's not the sequel to Sonic and the Secret of Swan Lake, thats for a later date, this is something new entirely. The Little Mermaid was an old classic favourite Disney film from my youth and still remains my favourite to this day. The origin of this story came around during Mermay 2021 on my Instagram and I did a small pic of Sonic and Ariel and the following year I did another and I wasn't sure why but the two seemed to click together very well, cause what happens when you put an adventurous blue hedgehog with a mermaid who's curious about life on the surface and is also an adventurous spirt, an awesome new story! plus a little recent inspiration from Sonic Prime.
Now for the first few chapters of this story it takes place a couple of weeks before the events of the Little Mermaid movie and the rest will be within the film itself, as some will also tackle a certain fear of Sonics.
So lets get to it! DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN EITHER CHARACTERS THIS IS JUST FOR FUN!
Sonic the Hedgehog (c) SEGA
The Little Mermaid (c) Disney
Sonic & Ariel
Chapter I:
:Temporal Ambush:
In the gathering gloom of an ever quiet void, suddenly a large blue coloured portal blasts open catapulting what look like seven lights. Just then blasting out of it was a blue humanoid Hedgehog, it was Sonic the Hedgehog. He was unconscious as he tumbled through the void surrounded by what looked like bright windows into other dimensions, into other worlds. He continued to twist and turn, then suddenly he slammed into another portal.
He emerges from the other end, and was falling from a darkened night sky. However when the clouds below cleared it was revealed he wasn't crashing down to solid ground but rather the open blue blur groaned as he was trying to regain consciousness but there was no time to save himself as he hit the surface of the sea with an almighty SPLASH!
Within the ever darkening depths Sonic was sinking into its dark embrace, barely conscious he reaches out with his hand for some help. None however would come for he was slowly drowning losing whatever precious air he had left as bubbles that came out like a ticking timer was running out. Was this the end of the Fastest Thing Alive?
Just as he was losing consciousness he could swear he saw what looked like two objects swimming towards him. He couldn't make it out as he was losing consciousness he swore he saw a girl reaching out to grab him. He passed out.
Sonics POV.
Everything was so dark, I mean yeah I was drowning and I blacked out so I don't remember much. What's worse I was in the water my kryptonite I couldn't hear anything not the kinda way I wanted to go out. But then I heard something it was like waves on a beach, and I felt like I was lying on sand, then I heard it.
"MmmMmmm…." It was a voice, a girls voice and she was…singing. I was coming to and could see the sun rising in the sky I felt someones hand on my cheek and I looked and I saw someone over me, it was…a girl she had red hair and blue eyes from what I could make out and she had…a beautiful voice.
"AAaaaaaa…..AAaaaaaaa….." She was singing to me, but I passed out.
End of POV.
Sonic lay unconscious as the heat of the rising sun was on his face he was completely knocked out, then suddenly his eyes shot open. He shot up from lying on the ground and spat out any water in his mouth and rubbed his head. He looked at his surroundings and saw he was on a beach overlooking the sea.
"Huh? Wha…where, how did I get here?" Sonic wondered as he looked around. "Tails?" He called out to his friend but he was nowhere to be seen.
All of a sudden he heard a muffled splash, and he just saw what looked like a fishes tail fin clad in emerald green dive into the sea. He looked with a gaping expression did.. did he just see what he thought he saw? No it couldn't be could it? He got up and looked out on the sea wondering what that was. However he was so engrossed in this he failed to notice one thing.
"Hold on a Sonic Second?" He looked around and now had a good look at his surroundings.
"WHERE THE HECK AM I?!" His voice echoed everywhere one thing was for sure he defiantly wasn't in kansas anymore, well not his kansas anyway.
Not knowing what to do he zoomed away at Sonic Speed. "Man doc Egghead really did it this time! I better find Tails and the others just hope they're okay!" He zoomed away across the sandy shores and disappeared from view into the distance.
"Ahh not one of my best entrances, but hey even at the verge of drowning to certain doom, I still look good." Sonic Narrated with a chuckle. "Now I know what your thinking, how did your truly wind up almost drowning, well lets rewind back a little."
Green Hills:Mobius: Several hours earlier:
The wild and beautiful landscape of Green Hill Zone on the planet Mobius the flowers were in bloom and the Flicky's were chirping in the air. Suddenly a flash of blue light zoomed by, and it was Sonic zooming around at his trademark speed.
"It just started out as a regular day, boosting through Green Hills and catching every available loop de loop I could find…" Sonic blasts through Hedgehog Pass and arrives at a loop de loop which he speeds round and over, then another loop de loop. He enjoyed every minute of his run taking in all around him.
"….but of course nothings ever quiet around here." Suddenly Sonic heard a squeak for help he screeched to a stop. Just ahead he saw some Flickys, Pockey's and Pickys at the mercy of three Egg Pawns and two Buzz Bombers hovering in the air with their tail stingers trained on the venerable animals.
Sonic bore his confident smirk, "Ah finally something interesting!"
The Badniks were closing in on the critters when all of a sudden. BAM! Sonic blasted in with several homing attacks on the three Egg Pawns blasting them away to then explode.
The Buzz Bombers immediately fired their stingers at Sonic who was quick to avoid them before he leaped up into the air performed a spin mid air and dashed a homing attack on each of the Buzz Bombers and they exploded in seconds. Sonic landed all but triumphant.
However before he could celebrate his victory he heard a strange buzzing sound in the air and the critters were still terrified. Sonic looked to the distance and he saw smoke approaching them. It was then he could make out about seven Motor Bugs and Thunder balls zooming in at top speed.
Sonic however still maintained a confident smirk as he tightened his glove, he took up a runners starting position, then his eyes surged with blue lightning and it energised his entire body.
"Gotta juice and cut it loose!" Sonic smirked and then BOOM! He blasted away creating a large shockwave which did knock some of the critters over a bit.
The Badniks were getting closer to the approaching Blue Blur, but suddenly Sonic blasted right through them and stopped on the other side of the approaching force. Sonic just smirked and then snapped his fingers and *BOOM!*
The Badniks exploded in a large bang, Sonic dusted off his hands pleased with his handy work. "Heh Eggheads buttniks are getting sloppy. That was way too easy."
"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHOOHO WELL MY BLUE SPIKED NUISANCE ALLOW ME TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING!"
All of a sudden crashing down from the sky was a massive looking robot, it was the Eggcrusher! The pilot was none other than a certain mad scientist and arch enemy of Sonic the Hedgehog.
"Heh speak of the Baldy Mc Nosehair and he shall appear." Sonic smirked. "Nice new toy Eggman hope its covered by warranty!"
"Ah yes the classic banter!" Dr Eggman emerged from the open cockpit of his mech. "But you know I think it's time we end this sorry story of ours once and for all!"
"Sorry story?" Sonic wondered.
"Yes, we've been playing this same act all our lives since the moment you crossed me rodent!" Eggman exclaimed. "All I wanted was to build a perfect world, a perfect society guided by my intelligence and the marvels of robotics and science but you and your meddling friends make this dream of mine impossible!" Dr Eggman yelled.
"Maybe cause your dream involves robotising people and turning them into slave just for some lame amusement park!" Sonic exclaimed back. "I mean you pulled alien planets from the furthest corners of the galaxy and heck even the P..." He stopped mid sentence realising what he was about to mention. "Uh the whole smash the planet to unleash a monster!"
"Aw yeah I remember that good times good times." Just then Cubot and Orbot appeared next to their master.
"Yes though I will admit there were a few downsides and unsightly duties." Orbot said just then Eggman pushed them aside.
"Zip it you fools!" Eggman then cleared his throat and addressed his foe. "No ones perfect but now I intend to end this once and for all and you will never get in my way again Sonic do you hear me!" Dr Eggman Yelled.
"Your threats don't scare me Eggman if you think you can get rid of me you can keep dreaming!" Sonic exclaimed standing ready for a fight.
"Well actually my boy thats where your wrong!" Dr Eggman exclaimed as the left arm of his Egg Crusher transformed into what looked like a two pronged cannon with a large circular base attached at the arm. "Say hello to my newest creation behold! The Dimensional displacer! With this I will finally be rid of you once and for all by catapulting you into a void of nothingness!"
"Wow were you up all night writing that evil speech!" Sonic smirked.
"Oh but it's gonna be a reality Sonic because what's the best way to blast you to another dimension where you won't be a pain in my egg?" The machine then revealed seven glistening lights in the core. "Seven Chaos Emeralds!"
The Egg Crusher aimed the Dimensional Displacer at his blue rival and as it charged up Sonic performed a spin dash and blasted right at the cannon tipping it sky ward throwing off Eggman's aim and the displacer fired at a palm tree which got sucked into a portal disappearing into the unknown.
"Whoa!" Sonic breathed in shock Eggman really wasn't kidding that weapon was the real deal!
"Take a good look rodent! Your next!" Eggman smirked as he trained the Displacer at Sonic.
Sonic just gave his signature smirk. "Heh only if you catch me!" He blasted forwards and performed a homing attack on the EggCrusher only for Eggman to swat him away and fire a gatling cannon at his blue spine enemy. Using his super speed to dodge the incoming shots and zoomed round in circles around the Egg Crusher creating a typhoon sending him flying into the air only to receive a devastating strike from Sonic's spin ball striking it right in the chest and sent it crashing to the ground.
The blue hedgehog landed triumphantly on the robots chest. "Man your getting sloppy Egghead you know how this rolls." Sonic smirked.
"Not this time Hedgehog!" Eggman growled then suddenly Sonic received a nasty electric shock causing him to cry in pain then he was blasted back into a stone wall he was hurt. The Eggcrusher stood up from the ground and then trained the Dimensional Displacer at his blue foe.
"And now it ends!" Eggman smirked as the Displacer was charging up with energy from the Chaos Emeralds. It looked like Sonic was in big trouble as he regained consciousness seeing the weapon.
Suddenly however the Eggcrusher was being assaulted with laser blasts coming in from above forcing him back, suddenly Sonic heard a familiar buzzing noise coming from the sky."SONIC!" He heard a familiar voice.
Arriving on the scene was a familiar looking red biplane with the words Sonic written in white on the side. Tails, Sonics best friend was piloting the Tornado, with Amy in the rear cockpit and Knuckles riding on the wings.
Knuckles leaped from the Tornado and landed a solid punch right in the chest of Eggmans Eggcrusher catapulting him into the grass below. Knuckles smirked as he ran over to Sonic and pulled him out of the rock face.
"Here I am again saving your butt when you get in over your head huh Sonic." Knuckles smugly said.
"Heh yeah, like I ain't busted you out the last time you lost the Master Emerald." Sonic smirked back.
"Ha hah." Knuckles said sarcastically.
Suddenly they heard the sound of roaring thrusters and the EggCrusher revealing itself from the ground having a jet pack on its back. "Oh how cute the gangs all here what a waste!" Eggman exclaimed. The Eggcrusher then trained its gatling gun on the Tornado firing upon them.
"Hang on Amy!" Tails exclaimed and quickly menovered the Tornado to do a barrel roll to avoid the shots from the Eggcrusher. Suddenly two small mini guns emerged from the sides of the plane and fired upon the Egg Crusher which deflected the blasts as it was about to fire the Dimensional Displacer at the two. Suddenly Sonic and Knuckles charged in with a spin dash and a solid punch to the robots chest knocking it back. Only for a gatling blast to be fired and just caught the Tornado's wing sending it, Amy and Tails crashing down.
"Tails Amy BAIL!" Sonic called to them.
Tails quickly unbuckled himself from the pilots seat and pulled Amy out and twirled his tails like a helicopter to fly them both clear of the crashing plane before it crashed down to the mountain side.
"Ah man that's the fourth plane this month!" Tails exclaimed in frustration. "I loved that plane!" He sobbed.
"Aw well Tails I'm sure the next one you build will be just as good." Amy said in comfort.
Eggman smirked as he aimed the Dimensional Displacer right at the hovering Tails and Amy. It was charging with power. Sonic and Knuckles looked at what the mad scientist was about to do.
"No!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Whats he doing!" Knuckles exclaimed.
"Eggman built that thing to send things to a different dimension!" Sonic exclaimed and then zoomed away to stop him.
"SONIC!" Knuckles exclaimed trying to stop him.
"Gotya rodents!" Eggman sneered evilly as the weapon was now fully charged but noticed something in the corner of his eye.
Tails was slowly lowing Amy down to the ground when he suddenly saw Eggman directing his weapon and with such a high intellect himself he could recognise a dimensional displacer when he saw one. However he also saw his best friend zooming towards Eggman, the whole world was in slow motion as Eggman was turning his Displacer towards the Blue Blur.
Tails looked in horror as did Amy with what Eggman was about to do. "SONIC NO!" Eggman trained his Dimensional displacer at his foe smirking madly with evil. The weapon was charged and ready to fire a blast. Sonic jumped and formed a spinball charging at Eggman as all Amy, Knuckles and Tails could do was stare in horror.
Just as the weapon was about to fire Sonic struck it with tremendous force so much it caused it to crack with a glowing light sending a powerful shockwave from the Chaos Emeralds and consumed everyone and everything into a bright flash of light. Knuckles covered his eyes as Amy and Tails touched the ground and covered their eyes as well.
The light soon faded and all it left behind was a smoking crater and the remnants of the Dimensional Displacer and some components from the Egg Crusher scattered across the , Amy and Tails all looked in complete shock and horror, both Eggman and Sonic were gone without a trace.
"S…S…Sonic!" Amy breathed in horror almost with tears in her eyes. Tails collapsed to his knees in utmost shock, was his best friend and brother truly gone forever this time.
Elsewhere:
Within the empty void of the Multiverse a portal opened scattering seven colourful lights from it and Sonic was hurled out of the portal unconscious.
"Okay, now I get this may seem like deja vu I mean how did this end up with me survive drowning in the depths? Yeah, thats what I want to know too."
In another dimension:
It was a beautiful moon lit night over the ocean, all was quiet and peaceful, while fathoms below the surface the creatures of the deep were enjoying the peaceful quiet of the moonlit sea. Sea turtles traveled together and swam around a large rock. Dolphins traveled together chattering to each other as they swim by.
Just then swimming along the sea was a young mermaid, she had red hair, blue eyes, purple seashells on her chest and an emerald green tail fin. She had a small orange coloured bag around her shoulder.
"Ariel wait for me!" Called a voice from behind her and she saw her best friend and companion a blue and yellow fish swimming after her.
"Oh Flounder." Ariel giggled at her friend as she stopped to wait for him to catch up.
"Hah hah y..you know I can't swim that fast." Flounder panted.
"Sorry but wasn't tonights treasure hunt so exciting!" Ariel looked inside her bag to see the multitude of objects within. A small compass, a music box and a strange looking rock with a crystal inside it. "We got so many human treasures I wonder what each of them are?"
"Yeah and at least there were no sharks." Flounder said with some relief.
Ariel giggled at that ever since a young age she has always been curious namely of the human world above. Though her father Triton King of the Sea, warned her of the savageness of humans for hunting the creatures of the sea as game to be eaten and slaughtered. Ariel being the youngest of seven sisters wasn't so sure, she knew that merfolk disliked humans because of the damage they do to the reefs with their shipwrecks. To Ariel however, there was something about them that fascinated her especially the 'treasures' she finds among the shipwrecks.
The young mermaids attention was then drawn to the surface, so much to Flounders surprise she started swimming to the surface. "Hey Ariel wait!" He called. Ariel emerged on the surface of the water and Flounder soon joined her. They were gazing at the beauty of the moon and the sky reflecting on the oceans surface.
"Ah look Flounder." Ariel said in amazement. "The night sky is always so beautiful right after a storm."
"Yeah its great but you know we're not supposed to be on the surface right?" Flounder then said.
"Oh don't worry." But all of a sudden a bright light soon illuminated the night sky much to their surprise. They looked up and saw a glistening light in the sky.
"Whoa is that a star?!" Flounder exclaimed in shock.
"I don't know." Ariel said now very curious, but then she noticed something coming down from the sky it looked like a shooting star but it was coming in a struck the sea with a loud *SPLASH!* So hard it shook the waves greatly.
The little mermaids, curiosity grew greater still so she dove under the surface and swam under the sea with Flounder behind her. She swam to where the star had crashed looking around for any sign of something. Then just as she turned her head she caught sight of something sinking down. She couldn't make it out but it looked like a body.
Horrified she swam down after it as fast as she could, Flounder followed her. She swam as fast as she could until she reached out and grabbed it by the arm. She now had a clearer look and to her surprise it was a humanoid blue Hedgehog.
"Whoa, what is it?" Flounder wondered.
"I..I don't know Flounder where did he come from?" She wondered as she looked him over and saw he was wearing gloves and shoes almost like someone from the surface. "He looks like he's from the surface?"
"I don't think I've ever seen anyone from the surface look like that before?" Flounder said.
However there was a more immediate concern namely the bubbles coming out of his mouth. "Come on let's get him to the surface!" She grabbed Sonic by the arm and swam upwards pulling him to the surface.
The two surfaced and Ariel held Sonic in her arms as now the blue hedgehog could now breathe. Slowly but surely she swam pulling him along.
Just before daybreak they soon reached a beach on shore. Ariel lay on land and carefully lay the blue hedgehog onto his back. She looked over him to see if he was hurt, Flounder watched from the shallows slightly worried. Ariel was beginning to worry as the blue creature wasn't moving at all she placed her head to his chest and listened for a heart beat but heard nothing. She then proceeded to shake him a little to wake him up. Suddenly he coughed and choked up some water from his mouth he was breathing. She sighed a relief though it was short lived, just then he started shaking like he was in shock and groaned in pain.
Ariel was getting worried. "Wha…whats wrong with him?" Flounder asked.
The red haired mermaid wasn't really sure she had never seen a human let alone a humanoid hedgehog before however she could tell he looked panicked. She wondered what she could do to calm him down. Then she had an idea.
She slowly began to caress Sonics face, and then she sang softly. "Mmmmmm….mmmm…" the hedgehog soon stopped shaking and began to calm down. his eyes peered open a little as she sang just as the sun rose and illuminated the sky. "AAaaaaa…AAaaaaaaa." Ariel sang softly and smiled down on the mysterious creature. She suddenly noticed his eyes were open slightly realising she couldn't be seen she quickly hurried away as the blue creature passed out again. Then seconds later his eyes shot open and he shot up from the ground rubbing his head.
"Huh? Wha…where, how did I get here?" Sonic wondered as he looked around. "Tails?" He called out. Just as Ariel dived back into the sea Sonic turned to the sound of the splash and just caught sight of her tail fin. Leaving him with a gapping expression.
Far away in a nearby large rock, Ariel resurfaced and peaked up slightly to observe the stranger. ""Hold on a Sonic Second?" She heard his voice as she observed him looking around just catching onto his surroundings.
"WHERE THE HECK AM I?!" Sonic exclaimed and Ariel quickly ducked behind the rock so he didn't see her. She peaked up again and what she saw next she didn't believe it.
Sonic zoomed away running along the beach and she saw his blue speed trail disappear into the distance. She looked completely surprised at this little guys speed. "Wow!" She breathed in amazement.
"Wow he's sure a fast little critter isn't he!" Flounder said surprised. Ariel didn't know why but she was suddenly fascinated with this stranger she'd just rescued how was he so fast? Where did he come from, her head was just buzzing with questions.
With one last smile she then jumped into the sea and swam away. "I wonder who he was?" She wondered then she had an idea. "Hey I'll bet Scuttle will know!" She and Flounder then swam away from the shore.
Elsewhere on an small isolated rock, a lone seagull sat on the rock next to an old crows nest from a ship and kept an eye out. For he was waiting for someone. Just then that certain someone was a mermaid who surfaced from the water with Flounder.
"Hi Scuttle!" Ariel called.
"Ariel how are ya kid!" The seagull called Scuttle greeted as he dropped down from the crows nest.
"So ya found any more human stuff to look at?" He then asked.
"Yeah but we found something or rather someone else too." Ariel explained excitedly.
"Yeah he he looked all wired." Flounder added.
"Weird huh this sounds juicy tell me more!" Scuttle asked now more than intrigued.
"Well he looked like he was from the surface but not at all like Daddy described." Ariel said. "He was small, blue and had arms and legs too. Then he he just ran super fast from the beach like a blur!" Airel described even shooting her arms across illustrating her point.
"Whoa a fast one huh, hmmm blue and small with human arms and legs." Scuttle pondered.
"So do you know who he is?" Ariel asked.
"Hmmm ah sorry kid, even I ain't heard of anything like that before sounds like a very rare thing." Scuttle said, though disported this just seemed to peak Ariels curiosity about the mysterious blue stranger even more. However just then she remembered something in a flash.
"Ah oh no! Daddy wants to talk to me and my sisters this morning he's gonna wonder where I've been!" She said in something in a panic.
"Oh no he's gonna be mad!" Flounder exclaimed.
"Bye Scuttle!" Ariel quickly waved goodbye before she dived back into the sea quickly with Flounder close behind her.
"So long kid and good luck on this blue guy thing!" Scuttle called.
Deep in the ocean depths Ariel and Flounder swam as quickly as they could just to get home. However on the ocean floor there was something there, and the sand fell revealing a glinting light on the seabed. It was an emerald green coloured jewel its light sparkled in the ocean water. But what was a jewel doing under water was it a lost piece of pirate treasure? Or was it something else entirely?
In the very depths of the Ocean beyond the vast coral and seaweed covered floor lay a glinting light. Ariel swam down into the caverns below and soon she arrived at her home. Lying beyond was an underwater palace its spires glinting in the golden light of its towers, merfolk of all shapes and sizes flourish within the palace walls. Ariel quickly swam into one of the towers and into what was the grotto belonging to her and her sisters. She quickly left her bag as she and Flounder hurried to the main hall where her sisters were waiting. Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista and Andrina. The eldest Attina noticed Ariel had just arrived. "Ariel where have you been?!" She asked.
"Fathers not in a mood is he?" Ariel asked.
"Well when your favourite daughter is late wouldn't you be in a mood!" Adella told her.
"Sorry I was just…." Airel said.
"Exploring yes yes its always exploring." Arista said a little annoyed hearng the same thing over and over they knew their youngest sister was all so curious but sometimes having her head in the clouds wasn't a good thing. Sometimes she was a little jealous of her sisters adventurous ways.
"You didn't go to the surface did you?" Alana asked.
"What! No of course not!" Ariel said in her defense.
"Well I hope so you know fathers rules?" Attina reminded her being the eldest of the seven.
"I know I know whatever you say Fin Fin." Ariel said a little annoyed.
However just then the royal conch shell was sounded and they all swam in line awaiting the arrival of their father. Just then their father the ruler of the seas King Triton a very muscular merman with a large white beard and long hair with a golden crown on his head and wielded a large looking trident swimming in behind him was a small red crab.
The sea king then placed himself upon his throne as he looked at his daughters happily. "Good morning my daughters."
"Good morning daddy." The sisters answered as they listened to their fathers announcement.
"I'm glad to see you are all well this morning, now I've called you all here because I've decided to hold a music concert in the palace." Triton announced. "The first one we've had in years!"
Upon hearing this news the daughters of Triton all looked extremely excited and talk about it. Not surprising since this was the first music concert held in the undersea kingdom after so many years since Triton restored music to Atlantica thanks to Ariel of course keeping her mother Queen Athena's spirit alive.
"Wow this is amazing!" Attina gasped.
"Really!" Alana exclaimed excited.
"Thats wonderful!" Adella and Aquata cheered.
"I can't believe it!" Arista said excitingly.
"I know its spectacular!" Endrina breathed.
"Thats amazing daddy!" Ariel agreed.
"Ah I knew you'd all be excited." Triton said happily. "Sebastian you will be in charge of conducting and rehearsing the musical."
"Leave it to me ya majesty this musical will be the pinnacle of my career! Mark me words!" Sebastian said in excitement and pride.
"Excellent now the concert will be held in two weeks so rehearsals will be held from today so you girls get ready okay." Triton said to his daughters who happily swam away to see to everything. However just as Ariel was swimming away with her sisters.
"Ariel." She stopped and winced for a minute she honestly thought she'd gotten away with her late night excursion. So she nervously swam towards her dad.
"Oooo she was so close!" Alana whispered to her eldest sister.
"Not funny." Attina lightly scolded her as they swam away. So Ariel, her father and Sebastian were completely alone, well that is if Flounder wasn't watching from behind the pillars. He was worried Ariel was going to get into trouble.
"I noticed you weren't in the grotto this morning?" Triton questioned.
"I uh…I was sleep swimming and I uh may've ah strayed far from the palace." Ariel chuckled trying not to get into trouble.
"Oh really?" Triton said with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh yeah really Daddy." Ariel smiled innocently.
However her fathers mood then changed as it seems he saw through the ruse. "You've been to the shipwrecks again haven't you!" He said a little strict. "How many times have I told you you have no business going there!"
"But daddy!" Ariel tried to reason with her.
"You could've been captured by humans and you know how dangerous they are!" Triton said a little angered.
"I'm not a little girl any more I just want to learn more about them is that so wrong?!" Ariel argued.
"You know only what I told you they're cold hearted savages who destroy our reefs and clutter the ocean bed with their shipwrecks and they slaughter our people and the creatures of the deep!" Triton said in anger trying not to lose his temper.
"I know that but maybe there's more to them than just that if you would just listen!" Ariel argued.
"I've tried to listen but your young you don't understand everything!" Triton exclaimed. Ariel swam back a little hurt by what he had said. Triton realised his temper and calmed down. "Ariel I just want to protect you please try to understand, now go join your sisters and enjoy rehearsals." He said.
Ariel just pouted in frustration and swam away to join her sisters leaving Triton sitting on his throne. "Hmm perhaps I'm being too strict on her."
"Oh no your majesty, its justified Ariels young she'll understand in time." Sebastian assured his king.
Triton was always rather protective of his daughters Ariel the most being the youngest of the seven ever since his wife died years ago. In his grief he banned all music from the undersea kingdom but thanks to the efforts of Ariel he remembered the happiness it gave him and his family. Even so he was still protective of his daughters since his wife Queen Athena died at the hands of a surface dwelling ship he wouldn't let that happen to his girls.
"Y…your right Sebastian, I'm sure keeping her busy with a rehearsal schedule will be just the thing she needs to stop thinking about the human world." Triton agreed.
Meanwhile:
Back on the surface a blast of blue light zoomed across the green meadows near the coast line, Sonic was exploring his new surroundings and it defiantly wasn't Green Hills anymore. Soon he came to a cliff edge and saw a large looking castle overlooking the sea.
"Man now thats a castle." Sonic thought and when he walked closer to the castle he saw a small village in the distance, this told him he was in a kingdom of somekind. "Okay now I'm getting somewhere." Sonic smirked.
So he spent the rest of the day exploring this land, he quietly snooped round the village sticking to the rooftops so that he wouldn't be seen. He could see this was a peaceful place and how it was also a fishing kingdom judging by the number of ships in the docks. He had to admit the place did look pretty, well unless you count the open ocean. As night was beginning to draw in Sonic had to find a place to stay the night, obviously he couldn't stay in an Inn given his appearance to the humans, so he had to find shelter.
The blue hedgehog zoomed round, the village and land in search of sanctuary. It took a while but he eventually found it. He found what looked like an old shack close to the beach, the roof mostly had holes in and it was mostly empty.
"Hmm a little shabby but eh I can work with this." Sonic smirked and so he zipped round the beach and the surrounding areas to find materials. He found some large leaves from the plants close to the beach and used them to patch up the roof using some old rope he found from a nearby shipwreck. Sonic ran into a shipwreck close to the castle and pulled off a piece of an old sale and when he got back to the shack he made it into a makeshift hammock. Soon it was made for sleeping in.
Sonic sat on the beach looking out at the stars in the sky and onto the open sea. He had explored this whole island but still could find no trace of his friends or any way home.
"The sky is the same, and so is the moon. I guess Eggman got his wish he really blasted me to another dimension with the emeralds." Sonic thought in some sorrow, he'd never been so far apart from his friends like this not unless you count that little mishap with a certain prism. "I guess I got myself stuck here if I'd just listened to Tails. No I can't think that I can either sit here and mope or find answers, and no near drowning is gonna stop Sonic the Hedgehog!"
He felt a new wave of confidence wash over him, but then he felt cold as the waves of the water then washed over him as the tide came in. "Okay wait till morning." Sonic shivered as he went inside his shack and jumped onto his hammock.
A small hole was in his roof showing a little bit of glittering moon light shining in. Sonic wanted to drift off to sleep, but in truth there was still something on his mind, that melody he heard was still echoing in his mind.
"That girl who saved me…who was she?" He wondered as he drifted off to sleep. Unaware however that he was being watched from the sea. A pair of electric eels with glaring yellow eyes watched the stranger, until they descended into the ocean depths.
Authors notes: And so a new story begins! Now just to clarify something theres no Sonic X Ariel in this they're simply friends and are both curious about each others worlds and of course Ariel will be of some help to our blue heroes little water problem. Also I hope you paid attention to some of the human objects that Ariel has found because one of them will play a role in later chapters.
So until the next chapter GOTTA GO FAST!
