Our story begins on a normal day in the city of San Francisco. And by normal, I mean a blue hedgehog with a girl in his arms getting chased by a flying hovercraft
Sonic narrating: So, I know what you're thinking. Why is that incredibly handsome hedgehog getting chased by a mad man with a mustache from the civil war? And who is this girl I have in my arms with me? Well to be honest, it feels like I've been running my whole life. Is this too much, am I going to fast? It's kinda what I do, you know what, let's back up
This is the island where I'm from, it had everything. Sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, public access to loop-de loops. And I never had to catch a bus because I could run across the entire island in less than two seconds. Also there was no school, I know pretty sweet island right? I was born with extraordinary powers and was told to keep them a secret and like any kid, I did the exact opposite
The baby hedgehog ran into a small house, waking up an owl from her sleep
That's Longclaw, she took care of me. She was basically obi-wan Kenobi if obi-wan Kenobi had a beak
Longclaw: Sonic, someone could've seen you
Baby Sonic: no one saw me, I'm too fast. And I wanted to bring you this
As the hedgehog hands a flower to his guardian, she spots an army of echidnas outside the house
Longclaw: get down!
The echidnas closed in on the house firing arrows rapidly
Turns out with great power comes great power hungry bad guys and I led them right to us
Longclaw takes to the skies with Sonic while the echidnas continued firing arrows at her. She suddenly gets hit by one and crashes into the ground with Sonic
Longclaw: listen carefully Sonic, you have a power unlike anything I've ever seen...and that means someone will always want it. The only way to stay safe is to stay hidden
She pulls out a gold ring from a bag and throws it as it opens up a portal
Longclaw: this would is on the far side of the universe, you should be safe there
Baby Sonic: I don't wanna go without you
Longclaw: you must, these rings will be your most important possession. If you're ever discovered, use one. Never. Stop. Running. Now go!
Sonic runs off through the portal as Longclaw stays back to hold of the echidnas
Baby Sonic: Longclaw!
Longclaw: goodbye Sonic
Baby Sonic: no!
The portal closes off leaving Sonic behind to keep himself hidden in this new world. But it wouldn't be long before a few certain people would enter his life
