Hedgehogs Unleashed Saga Episode 2: Little Lost Chip
The world of Mobius has broken apart into different pieces and a monstrous being shattered and spread across the planet.
Meanwhile above a place called the Windmill Isle, where a large windmill stands, Sonic and Eve have fallen into unconsciousness and are falling through the sky. Sonic soon regains consciousness and a strange green force field surrounds the two hedgehogs, and stops them from falling.
"Huh?" Sonic responds confused.
Just then, the force field disappears and the two hedgehogs fall down once more, along with the seven Chaos Emeralds.
Sonic screams, "NOOOO!"
Sonic soon hits the ground with his head and Eve along with the Chaos Emeralds land around him. Sonic struggles to get up, but mananges to pull his head out of the ground.
He gasps for air and asks, "What the heck is going on?"
Sonic sighs and looks around, and the first thing he notices are the Chaos Emeralds, and a strange creature.
A small, imp-like creature. Resembling somewhat of an anthropomorphic chihuahua as well, he has small hands with five fingers, three-toed feet, a relatively large head, a flat muzzle with a small black nose, bronze eyes, large and slightly pointy ears on top of his head, and a pair of light green, fairy-like wings on his back. He is also mostly covered in burgundy fur with white fur on his hands, feet, front torso, inner ears, and muzzle area. He also has a collar of extra thick fur around his neck, a round turf of fur on his rear for a tail, and a white Mohawk on his head. For attire, he wears a green bauble necklace.
Sonic rushes over, picks up the little creature, and shakes it, "Hey! Are you okay?!"
The creature speaks, "Can't... I can't... Eat another bite."
"Hey!" Sonic says, shaking the Imp creature some more, "Pull yourself together!"
The little creature wakes up from its unconsciousness, "Huh?" And soon notices Sonic in his monstrous appearance.
He lets out a scream, "Aaaaah!"
The Imp kicks Sonic in the face and hides behind a rock.
He peeks out and panics, "Don't eat me! I taste bad!"
Sonic soon asks, "You okay? Nothing broken?"
The creature calms down and approaches Sonic, "Oh, I'm just fine! Thanks for asking, Mr. Monster Guy!"
"Mister... Monster guy?" Sonic responds, confused.
He then looks at himself to see his body has changed.
Sonic resembles a werewolf and gains increased muscular density and weight. He grows slightly larger, with a broader torso, a longer muzzle, larger hands, and longer, more muscular arms. Additionally, his fingernails become claws, his mouth becomes much larger, his inner lips become black, and his teeth become fangs; two of which always protrude even when his mouth is closed. Likewise, his ears become more curved and thinner, resembling a pair of horns. His once peach skin is now a pale blue, while his fur grows into a lush, heavy, dark blue coat. He also gains fur in places he normally does not, such as on his arms and chest. Traits of white fur also appear on his wrists, the end of his quills, and his chest. While his eyes remain green, they become a lot more angled, with more prominent brows, and they are almost never interconnected.
For attire, Sonic loses his white gloves, exposing his hands. His shoes become dark red and slightly frilled in the back, gain a gray metal strip with three spikes on each top surface, and gain eighteen small metal spikes on the bottom of each sole.
Sonic is shocked by his appearance, "Looks like things have gotten pretty ugly."
"Yeah!" The creature says, circling around him "Look at those teeth! And those claws!"
He then also notices, "And who is that girl?"
"Girl?" Sonic questions.
Sonic turns to notice Eve is lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Sis!" Sonic cries out, and rushes towards her.
Sonic gently shakes her shoulder, "Hey wake up. Come on, Eve. Say something.
Eve slowly regains consciousness. She turns her head to see the monstrous brother.
Eve gasps in shock, "woah!"
"Calm down, Eve. It's me," Sonic says.
Eve looks at the creature closely and her eyes wide in shock as she tilts her head, "Sonic…?"
"Yeah… It's me, your brother," Sonic says.
"So-Sonic… wha-what happened to you?" Eve asks.
"Yeah. I know. I look like a 'Scary Monster Guy,'" Sonic says.
"Well, you do look kind of monstrous," Eve says, giving him a sheepish smile.
The little creature flies over, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay," Eve says, and smiles, "Aww, you look cute."
"Thank you," The creature says.
He then asks, "So what are your names anyway?"
Sonic then introduces himself, "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."
"And I'm his sister. Eve the Hedgehog," Eve says.
She then also asks, "What's your name?"
"Huh?" The creature responds, and thinks "Hmmmm. Huh? What IS my name?" And soon begins to panic as he runs around in circles, "AHHH! I don't know! I can't remember!"
"What? You forgot who you are?" Sonic asks, shocked.
"Yup," The creature answers and explains, "I remember something falling from the sky…" and bodyslams himself to the ground, "And everything just going all white... and then nothing!" and stumbles around in daze, "I can't remember a thing past that!"
"Oh no," Eve says.
Sonic then wonders, "Did we fall on him?"
The creature flies around in a panic, "Oh, man, what am I gonna do?! What CAN I do? Where do I go from here?! What'll I.. Oof, I'm hungry," and soon drops down.
Sonic catches the little guy, "Hey, don't worry! We'll help you get your memory back."
"Really? You mean it?" The creature asks, and flies up on top of Sonic's head.
"Yeah. We'll help you. I'm sure we'll find somebody who knows you if we look around," Eve says.
This makes the creature very happy, "Oh, thank you!" and gets off Sonic's head, "You're the best, Mister Monster Guy- I mean, Sonic the Hedgehog! And of course, Eve the hedgehog!
Sonic, Eve, and the little creature share a happy high five as they laugh.
And soon, the sun begins to rise up from the sky, catching everyone's attention. As the sun begins to rise, Sonic suddenly starts transforming back.
Sonic lets out a, "Nnnngh!" and reverts back to his normal self.
He looks at himself in surprise, "
"Whoa," The creature replies.
Eve is surprised, "Oh my."
Sonic looks at himself, "Huh? Wha?"
"That was amazing!" The little creature says.
"I'm surprised," Eve says.
"Yeah. I'm surprised by it myself," Sonic says.
Sonic soon notices, "Hey Eve, what happened to your sword."
Eve looks at the sword and notices how dull it looks.
"The sword, it lost its powers," Eve says.
"Yeah," Sonic says and picks up the emeralds, "And look at the Chaos Emeralds."
"Their powers are gone," Eve says.
"Yeah. Eggman must have drained the Emerald's powers," Sonic says.
Eve looks at her hands, "Let me try something."
She then raises her hand and shouts, "Chaos Spear!"
However, nothing happened.
"What?!" Sonic says, shocked.
"Huh?" Eve says, confused.
Then tries another energy, "Chaos Sword! Chaos Arrow!"
Eve is stunned, "No… I… I lost my Chaos Energy!"
"Oh no!" Sonic says, stunned.
"How did this happen?" Eve asks.
Sonic realizes, "It must have been Eggman's machine. It must have drained your powers."
Then says, "Try using your speed."
Eve then uses her speed, and it turns out, Eve is as fast as Sonic, and can spin dash, and perform physical attacks.
"I can still use my Spin Dash and Speed, but it seems only my Chaos Energy is gone," Eve says.
"Seems so," Sonic says.
"What do we do now?" The creature asks.
"Best we head into town to see if anyone recognizes you, and then we figure out what's going on here," Eve says.
"Better hang on," Sonic says.
The little creature hangs on to Sonic's head.
"Here we go!" Eve says.
And with that, Sonic and Eve speed off to a town where they hope to find someone who recognizes their new friend, and see if they have any clues to what's going on.
Sometime later, Sonic, Eve, and their Imp friend arrive in a town called Apotos. A large city with buildings made of white stones, and other materials. There, they are trying to figure out a few things, The Chaos Emeralds lost powers along with Eve's lost powers, and Sonic's transformation.
Juggling the two emeralds, Sonic says, "What do you figure THAT was all about? The hair, and those arms, and... And look at the Chaos Emeralds. And your powers."
"I'm confused about it too," Eve says and thinks, "I have a feeling that Eggman's machine is the main cause of it, but there are a few things I'm wondering about what he said.
The creature flies to Sonic, "So is this what you usually look like?"
"Yeah, this is the REAL me! Pretty cool, huh?" Sonic answers.
"It's cool but we need to focus on figuring out what happened," Eve says.
Then the two hedgehogs notice the little creature was gone.
"Hey, where's the little creature? "Eve wonders
"Where'd you go?" Sonic calls out.
Eve soon notices, "Look."
Sonic turns to see the little creature has flown in front of an Ice Cream Vendor's shop, and looks over a delicious ice cream cone called the Sundae Supreme.
"Ooooh," The creature says, admiring it.
The Vendor notices the little guy as he prepares the ice cream.
He then says, "Looks good, don't it? That there Chocolate Chipped Cream Sundae Supreme is the pride of the city! The whole world can come tumbling down, but they'll still line up for a taste!"
The imp is taken in by the deliciousness of the Sundae Supreme.
Sonic calls out to him, "Hey! What about your memories?"
However, the Imp is distracted by the dessert and drools over it, "Chocolate chip... sundae... supreeeeme!"
The vendor then grabs the supreme and waves it around, "Ha ha, you said it! Enjoy it, kiddo. Satisfaction guaranteed! If you don't love it, you get your money back!"
Sonic calls out, "HEY!" and shrugs his shoulders in response.
Eve giggles, "I'm guessing the little guy is hungry."
The little imp calls out, "Oh, I looooove it!"
Sonic and Eve turn to each other.
"Well, I'm kind of hungry myself," Eve says.
"Might as well grab a bite while we're here," Sonic says.
Moments later, Sonic, Eve, and the little Imp are standing a distance away from the ice cream shop, having bought a Sundae Supreme for each of them.
The little imp eats the ice cream with a smile, "Mmmm-mm! Wow, this chip-whatever stuff is great!"
"I have to agree. This Sundae Supreme is delicious," Eve says.
Sonic chuckles, "If you say so. How about you give me a hand and help look for somebody who knows you, Chip?"
The creature looks at Sonic with a confused expression, and tilts his head, "Chip?"
"Gotta call you something, don't I? Whaddya think?" Sonic says.
Chip smiles, "Yeah! Chip…" And happily says, "Chip! I love it! Yum!" and continues eating his ice cream.
"Chip…?" Eve replies, thinking a bit, "What a great name for him."
"Now what do you say we start asking around and see if anybody here knows you?" Sonic says.
"Okay!" Chip says.
"Good idea," Eve says.
And with that, the two hedgehogs and their new imp friend, Chip begin to walk around to see if anyone knows him.
Eve asks a man and a young boy, "Excuse me, do either of you know the little guy?" and gestures to Chip."
The man shakes his head, "Nan, sorry. I've never seen him before."
"Nope, I don't think I've seen him before," The boy says.
"Okay," Eve says.
The three continue walking around, and meet a group of women.
Sonic asks, "Excuse me, have you seen our buddy Chip before? He lost his memory and we're trying to see if anyone knows him."
"No. We've never seen him," One woman says.
Another woman says, "He sure is cute."
"Sorry, we never seen him," The third woman says.
"Thanks anyway," Sonic says.
Sonic, Eve, and Chip continue exploring around town, asking anyone who might have seen Chip, but everyone says that they've never seen him before. By the end of the day, they don't have any luck finding anyone who knows Chip, and knowing what's going on.
Later in the evening, the three friends are walking through the streets of Apotos once more.
Chip replies, "Hmmm. Still no luck finding anyone who knows me."
"Don't worry about it. Maybe your memory'll come back on its own," Sonic says.
"Sonic is right. I'm sure your memory will return at its own pace. I understand how it feels to be frustrated by it," Eve says.
"You did?" Chip asks, surprised.
"Yes. I didn't remember my past for years, but now I was able to remember my past, and remember who I was," Eve says.
Then asks, "Do you have any memory of your past? Or able to remember anything yet?"
Chip thinks for a minute, "Mmm…" And soon answers, "Nope!"
"Oh, well," Sonic says.
"Don't worry, Chip," Eve says, "I'm sure your memories will return someday.
"Thanks," Sonic says.
The group looks and notices the sun has completely set and the street lights turn on. Suddenly, Sonic ducks down and groans in pain.
"Sonic?" Eve and Chip reply worried.
Soon, Sonic has transformed into the monstrous hedgehog as he groans and lets out a loud growl, while Chip and Eve fall over.
"Whoooa, Mister Monster Guy is back!" Chip says, surprised.
Looking at himself, Sonic says, "So, when the sun goes down, I turn into... this?"
"It appears so," Eve says, "When the sun rises you change into your original self. And now when the sets, you changed into well… this?" and gestures to Sonic's monstrous form, "I remember reading a book about a man being transformed into a wolf-like creature called a werewolf, but you're more like a werehog, or something."
"Kind of weird, huh," Sonic questions.
"Kind is," Eve says.
Then Chip asks, "Are you okay, Sonic?"
"I'm fine. I just need to be careful who sees me like this," Sonic says.
Soon, Chip notices something, "Sonic! Eve! Look!"
"What is it?" Sonic asks.
Chip, Sonic, and Eve walk over to the Ice Cream Vendor, who has purple clouds emitting from him, at his shop. He is behaving much differently from when they saw him during the day.
The vendor weeps, "It's hopeless. The whole planet has split apart. We're doomed.
Chip flies over, "Mister? Hey, Mister! Hey, don't cry! Uhh... Ice cream!" and grabs an ice cream cone, "How about some more of this super-tasty stuff?"
"What good is ice cream at a time like this?" The vendor says and continues weeping.
Chip accidentally drops the ice cream cone.
"Whoops!" Sonic says and grabs the ice cone by stretching out his arm.
"Woah!" Eve says, surprised, "Sonic, your arm!"
"It just stretched!" Chip says.
"Weird…" Sonic says and places the ice cream cone back from afar by stretching his arm, "But it could be useful."
The Ice Cream Vendor sees the display before resuming with weeping shortly after. Sonic the Werehog shrugs at his behavior.
"Something strange is going on here," Eve says.
"I agree. He said something about the world being split apart," Sonic says.
"Come on, we better get going," Eve says.
"Right," Sonic says.
The three then take off and see if they can ask anyone. However, everytime they do, they mention something about the world being split apart. Later, the gang are seen walking around the city.
"So far, there doesn't seem to be much clue to what's going on," Sonic says.
"Yeah, and some are a bit uneasy about your new look," Eve says.
"No kidding," Sonic says.
Suddenly, they hear a familiar voice, "Help!"
"Was that Tails?" Eve asks.
"Let's hurry," Sonic says.
The three rush across town to find the source of the scream. When they arrive, they see Tails, being surrounded by frightening monsters. They are dark colored monsters with strange smoke coming out of them. There is an especially black, cyan blue, and purple, and has a club in its hand. Each of the monsters screech and growl towards Tails.
Tails yelps, "Tails: Whoa, hey! Settle down, guys! C'mon! H-heeelp!" And soon flies away to hide.
That's when Sonic, Eve, and Chip arrive on the scene.
Tails notices Tails, "There's Tails, and he's in trouble.
"What are these things?" Eve says.
"I don't know, but we gotta get rid of them," Sonic says.
Eve turns to Chip, "Chip, you get somewhere safe. Sonic and I will deal with them."
"Alright," Chip says.
Chip flies away as Sonic and Eve charge for the attack. Sonic mananges to use his new elastic arm to slash and attack them. Eve then spin dashes at some of the monsters. Sonic spin dashes and charges towards the larger monster. The giant monster with the club tries to attack Eve, but some strange powerful green energy barrier appears around her.
"What the?" Eve questions.
"Eve, your powers?!" Sonic says, shocked.
Eve then uses her powers to launch powergreen energy balls at the smaller monsters.
"Eve grins, "This could be useful."
Then she fires more bright green balls of energy at the monsters, dissolving them. Eve suddenly creates sharp green energized daggers from both hands and charges and slashes each and every one of them.
"Alright sis!" Sonic says, confident, "Looks like you've got different powers from this event."
"It seems so," Eve says.
With that, both Sonic and Eve are able to use their powers and manage to destroy all the monsters and dissolve them. After defeating the strange Nightmare-like monsters, they dissolve after being bested by them.
Sonic calls out, "Hey, Tails."
Tails comes out of his hiding place, "Sonic?!"
The Moon comes out from behind the clouds, lighting up the area along with Eve, and Sonic the Werehog, who turns to face Tails to show off the front of himself to his buddy.
"Hi Tails," Eve says.
"What are you doing out here?" Sonic asks.
Shocked to see him, Tails asks, "Sonic... Is that really you?" and flies over to Sonic the Werehog and Eve, "That's a new look. What happened?"
"You know me. Never a dull moment," Sonic says.
"And it's quite a long story," Eve adds.
Soon, Chip comes out from the hedgehogs and pulls out a chocolate bar, "Want some chocolate?" And offers it Tails.
"Uh, thanks," Tails replies, skeptic.
"But Tails, what brings you here?" Eve asks.
"Well, looks like we both have a story to share," Tails says.
Sometime later, the gang leave the city and head to the place where the Windmill is. According to Tails, he along with Amy, Maria, Jazz, and Cosmo arrive to Aptolos and when they notice the world breaking apart. Worrying about the situation, Amy takes the X Tornado to Spagonia and Tails spotted at the Windmill Isle to meet them there. Hoping to find other leads. And end up running into the monsters that attacked him. Sonic and Eve explain what happened with Dr. Eggman and how they met Chip.
"That's some story," Tails says, "I'll bet that means that you turning into... that... along with Eve's loss of Chaos Energy… and the planet breaking apart are somehow related."
"I need to find Eggman and make him fix this, and FAST!" Sonic says.
Then Tails says, "About that... I think I know someone who might know something about what's going on here."
"Really?" Eve asks.
"Professor Pickle, over at Spagonia University," Tails says, "I came to this city to gather some data. If we add that to his research findings, we might be able to get to the bottom of all this.
"Spagonia? That's a continent over. An easy jog, if the planet weren't broken," Sonix says.
"We'll never get there," Eve says
But then Tails says, "No problem! My Tornado-1 will get us there in a flash. Let's get going!"
"Leave it to you, Tails! Let's get moving!" Sonic says.
"And we better hurry. Who knows what kind of trouble Eggman is causing," Eve says.
With that, the group head on board the Tornado 1, and take off. Tails is in the cockpit while Sonic and Eve grip a pair of handlebars just behind the pilot seat. And with that, Sonic, Tails, Eve, and Chip make their way to Spagonia to find the professor who can figure out the situation of the planet breaking.
