So essentially I've been horribly burnt out/lacking inspiration/motivation for works. And yeah I have a bad habit of overworking myself. I've been taking a break from posting due to this and I'm sorry (⁠｡⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠) And this cycle will continue until I eventually gain the energy to work on art. On a postive note, I decided to get back into writing. Don't wanna draw, why not write y'know heh (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) So I asked da Bois on discord what I should write (I had some ideas but was curious) and flare suggested I should write a story about sonic. Given dhs does have a sonic storyline set slightly in the future I decided to just write a fic about that. (This will become a comic) With the backstory out of the way here's the fic! ^^ - - - - __________________________ In the middle of a dimly lit forest on the outskirts of town, a blue creature arose from his slumber. “....ugh ... .my head ... .where ... .am..i” he said, holding his aching head. “I have no clue.” Responds another voice from a blurry figure as the creature's eyes adjusted to the sunlight peeking through the leaves. “....shadow..?..” he murmured. “Yes..it's me…” he sighs “out of all the people I could be stuck with it's you..sonic….” shadow growled. “What happened shads..?” sonic questioned, his eyes having adjusted to the new lighting. “...and where is here…” Shadow walked over to him and picked him up. “Haven't got a clue but I believe we're stuck here..” he says. “How!? …Did egghead send us here!?..” sonic yelps. “No..no he didn't, you did. Remember..? You were trying to use chaos control despite my warnings that you're uneducated..” shadow scolds. “Aw crap- damn..I…I'm sorry, I'll try and- ... .where's the chaos emeralds…” sonic says, beginning to panic. “That's the other issue, they got stolen.” Shadow says. “Stolen!? By who!” Sonic yells, getting up in shadow’s face. “something....I have no clue, it looked to be a giant white beast but every time I looked at it, it instilled horrible fear in me..it was like…magic… It was weird.” He recounts. “You were completely knocked out so you were useless..but it didn't try to attack either of us which was weird..it just took the emeralds and left.” Shadow looks around at the environment. “We do appear to be in a forest however and I did see some signage so there is life here, plus I heard some sounds nearby and I think we're close to a town.” He says. “Well! Let's go investigate!” Sonic says, cheerfully standing up, raring for adventure. “Slow down..yeesh, we're in a new world stupid! We don't know if we're safe, we need to lay low and that means no running like the wind!” Shadow demands. Sonic nods his head and agrees but notices something different about his edgy friend. “...did you always have a collar, shads..?” Sonic asks. Shadow fiddles with sonics scarf “I see you're trying out that ‘sonic boom’ thing again..” he Snickers. “Wha??...oh! Wait what!? our appearances changed!?” Sonic says with panic. “I don't mind it, I look better than you do, how the hell do you already have chilli stains on it…” shadow groans with disgust. “Let's just go..” he says, rolling his eyes. Eventually the two arrived at the back of a town, avoiding a nearby grass field that states “DO NOT ENTER” literally everywhere. They decide to avoid entering the actual town and hop on top of the buildings, hiding behind the brick fencing lining the roofs. “So uhhh why are we doing this, shads..?” sonic asks, perplexed by the idea of why they would need to “lay low”. “Because, our lives could be at risk in this unfamiliar world, we don't know what the people are like, they could want our quills for money!” Shadow cries. “And as the ultimate lifeform I refuse to be used for a “quick buck”..” he says with a cold tone. “Our lives..?” Sonic asks. “Like…getting killed..?” Shadow says, looking at sonic like he's an imbecile. “Y'know…death..dying.” Shadow says. “These freaks could kill us!” He yells. “Awww how, they're just little ball guys!” Sonic coos. “Sonic! Get back here! Don't call attention to yourself!” Shadow yells. “You're the one shouting…” sonic pouts. “Besides~ they look like they couldn't hurt a fly!” He says, fawning over the population but he notices something, something that isn't a tiny “ball guy”. “Yo shads look, some yellow guy!” He says. “...huh…” shadow observes with sonic. “Sooo maybe this society is accepting of us! C'mon!” Sonic says jumping off the roof. “Sonic!” Shadow yells after sonic and soon follows him, also jumping off the roof. “You idiot! Are you trying to get us killed!” He cries. “I might hate you but I don't wanna be alone here!” He says, grabbing Sonic's arm like an overprotective parent. “Woah shads, someone's feeling touchy~” sonic teases causing shadow to push Sonic over. “I am not touchy, I'm trying to protect you! You're cocky!” he huffs. Sonic gets up and brushes himself off, seeing a pair of shoes near him. Sonic looks up and sees the yellow guy he saw earlier. “Oh hey!” He says, being all friendly. “You're not from around here are you..?” The guy says. “Naaah, you seem like you aren't either! So we're one in the same!” Sonic says as the yellow guy nods “Soooo what are you..” sonic asks. The yellow guy dodges the question and just asks Sonic for his name. “Oh! My name it's sonic, sonic the-” shadow slaps sonics mouth shut “can you stop with that introduction..just say you're sonic. I'm shadow, he's sonic, we're hedgehogs..” shadow sighs. “Hedgehogs..? What are those?” The yellow guy asks. “I- you don't know…what a-....ever been to a zoo?” Shadow asks. “No..” the yellow guy looks rather upset. “...um…well they're a small mammal with spikes on their backs called quills..” shadow says in an oddly soft voice as if he was talking to a child. “However we're hedgehogs that take on an appearance more like yours.” He explains. The yellow guy accepts that as an answer and introduces himself. “I'm spark, I'm an interplanetary insect..” he seems to slur his words on the last part as if he was mumbling. “You're a bug!?” Sonic says with shock. “Sonic..why are you so surprised…” shadow groans. “He doesn't look like a bug….he looks like a cat! He has a tail!” Sonic says with a childish tone. to which spark responds by taking off his hat and explaining “see.. antennas, the tail is from a…curse..” he says. “I'm stuck with it..” spark whimpers. Sonic apologises for upsetting him and compliments his hat. “I like your hat big buddy! It has blue on it like me!” Sonic says, pointing out his blue colouration. “I like the colour blue” spark mumbles, his face seeming slightly blushed. “..are you alright..?” Shadow asks with concern to which spark puts back on his hat and uses his jacket collar to hide his face as he turns away from the hedgehogs. “awww! I think he's shy!” sonic coos. “Don't be shy, big guy!” He says reassuringly. “Sonic I highly doubt pointing out a shy person is shy, is gonna help.. you're probably scaring him..” shadow growls. “Sorry spark, we'll leave you be now.” shadow says pushing the hyper hedgehog away. Spark shyly waves goodbye before walking off into the crowds of “ball guys”. “You're a handful!” Shadow says in a disapproving tone. Sonic shrugs and quickly runs out of shadows push and behind him, leaning on his shoulder. “Sooo~ shads~ what are we gonna do?” He says in a playful tone. “What do you mean? We need to find the chaos emeralds!..” Shadow groans at Sonic's lack of care. “Hmm..…but what if we eat first! Can't start a search party on an empty stomach now can we!” sonic proposes. “Really..your mind is on food…now..?” Shadow huffs, crossing his arms. “Obviously! I'm starving..my stomach is screaming at me to eat! Yours must be too right?.. or do ultimate lifeforms not need food?..” sonic says with a slight tease in his voice. “...no..and I don't need to eat right now. I could go for a drink however, I've been thirsty since I woke up..my throat is quite parched..” shadow says. “Soooo we get drinks and food? Right?” Sonic asks. “No. We're finding the emeralds..who knows what that beast is doing with them!” Shadow yells. “C'mon…” sonic pouts. Shadow ignores his childish behaviour and begins walking off before he ends up pausing and holding his stomach. “Shads..?” Sonic looks up at Shadow. “.....let's…go eat…” shadow mumbles with embarrassment. “Ooh! So you are hungry! Heck yeah! Let's get burgers!” Sonic shouts as he runs off causing Shadow to chase after him. (Meanwhile) Spark arrived home after going grocery shopping “fark! I'm home!” He calls out, beginning to place the bags of shopping. Fark soon comes out of his workshop. “How did it go, any issues..?” he asks. “No, everything went fine..you really need to stop worrying about me..” spark says with a chuckle. “How's the building going..?” Spark asks. “Bad..I ended up doing some research and I really can't make one any smaller to fit your body, apparently it won't work as intended-..” fark says. “It's fine, dude! You really don't need to stress yourself for little ol’ me!” Spark says, rubbing Fark's head messing his fur up. “But what about your-” Spark cuts him off. “It'll be fine..yeah there's been hiccups but it's not bothering me too much! Anyhow, can you help me out..?” He requests. “Oh sure!” Fark responds, quickly unpacking the bags and setting the contents on the other counters. “Anything interesting happen?” He asks. “I saw these two…fluffy guys, they weren't formies…they said they were hedgehogs..” spark says, sounding suspicious of the two. “So…they were like us but not formies…so they're humanoid..?” Fark asks. “Yeah! One was named Sonic and the other was named Shadow…they were kinda scary….” Spark whimpers. “Scary..? They didn't hurt you did they..” fark growls, clenching his fists. “N-no no. They didn't, I've just never seen a ‘hedgehog’ before..plus they're strangers and were talking to me..!” Spark cries. “Sparky..you gotta get more brave! You gotta…let out your inner dragon when talking to people!” Fark tries to pep talk spark. “Fark my inner dragon is an uncontrolled beast of code…like a living manifestation of a computer virus and a nightmare…” spark says rather bluntly. “Like..do you really want me to talk to people like that..” he asks. Fark flashes back to the linework corruption and the beast and what it made spark do. “Okay understandable-” fark stammers as the two finish putting away the groceries. Afterwards spark and fark decide to watch a movie until spark eventually grows tired as his battery gets low and he falls asleep. (Later) Sonic and Shadow had their meal and begun asking if anyone had seen multicoloured gems to which they were continuously met with a no. After feeling down on their luck with no leads they even began asking about the white beast. To which they were met with a lead. A creature known as chaos fit their description of “white fluffy beast that instils fear” so they went in search for this creature leading them to an abandoned looking church near the forest they woke up in. They kicked down the door and demanded the creature show themselves. “Chaos..? Um..who the f- are you…” a grey snake creature asked. Sonic began shouting “WHERE ARE YOU HIDING IT!” The grey snake creature rolled his eyes. “Can you get the hell out before I call the heroes….” He sighs. “I highly doubt galatca wants to deal with you…” he begins picking up his phone. When suddenly the white beast shows itself. “YOU!” sonic shouts. “WHERE'S THE EMERALDS!” shadow yells as well. Chaos looks down on the hedgehogs. “I am not the beast you are looking for. You are looking for they who controls the strings. I am a mere pet who poses no threat to you.” It says in a calm tone. “They ...who controls the strings..” sonic pauses. “You're just saying that! Give us the emeralds!” Shadow yells. “Again. I'm not the thief you require. I only know who you are from your memories alone. We have never met, why would I wish to inconvenience you.” Chaos says. “I am wings of chaos, a creature of balance among the corruption that is my opposite. I am the light in the dark and I do not wish to hurt those that do not deserve my wrath which you have not earned. Please go seek the strings, not me.” It begs. “In simple terms I'm not the bad guy, you're annoying my master and he will call the cops if you don't leave.” it says. “Where's the strings then!” Sonic yells. “Not here, young blue mammal. Please leave, it is tea time and I wish to go for a walk soon.” chaos says, wagging it's ail at its master. sonic and shadow huff losing another lead and now they only have more questions…
