Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Project: Blitz ❯ Priority One: Hedgehog??? ( Prologue )

A mysterious figure stood atop an outcrop of earth, shrouded in the blackness of night. Surveying the landscape of the mystic ruins below him, like he did most nights, he took note of the building he often saw Sonic and Co. entering, acknowledging it's presence with a nod of his head.

 

Turning, he sped into the trees, behind him, at a pace almost equal to that of Sonic or Shadow, kicking up leaves and dust in his wake. As he ran, a noise to his side distracted him, and he came to an abrupt halt. Peering into the darkness of the wood surrounding him, he saw… something… move ahead of him. Unable to identify the source of the movement, he decided to pass it off as a startled animal.

 

Trying to regain his bearings in the pitch dark, he prepared to move in the direction, he thought, he had been travelling previously. Before he could make a move, he heard another noise, this one louder and closer than the first, one that sounded like a machine whirring to life.

 

Taken completely by surprise, a robot, no bigger than he was, launched itself upon him and struck him in the face with a metallic fist, causing him to reel backwards into a tree. He rose quickly to his feet and prepared for another attack, however in the dark, he had incredible difficultly locating his assailant, and took hit after hit from the robot.

 

Stumbling into a clearing, he finally got a clear view of his attacker, as moonlight streamed down upon them both. The robot had a humanoid shape (kinda like the ninja from Metal Gear Solid, only there's no guy inside) except it was shorter. It had a green and brown camouflage colour scheme to help it blend in with the surroundings.

 

He rose to his feet and adopted a fighting stance. Despite being severely beaten, he hadn't sustained any major injuries. The robot continued to approach him and spoke in a tinny emotionless voice “Priority One: Hedgehog.” Unsure of what to make of this statement, he remained in his fighting stance. The robot repeated “Priority One: Hedgehog” and charged.

 

Jumping into the air, the figure launched himself above and over the robot before spinning and kicking it in the back of the head. It careened into a low hanging tree branching separating it from its legs at the midriff. It stopped moving and lay sparking on the ground.

 

The victor went to examine the robot to make sure it was finished for good. He neared it and found it was making a beeping noise. He knelt next to it, ignoring the beeps, until they began to get progressively faster. He realised what was going to happen and began to run as fast as he could away from it. He continued running after the beeping had stopped, and an eerie silence took over. The silence was short lived as an explosion cracked the night sky and lit up the mystic ruins. Still running, he was lifted from the ground and hurled forwards as a shockwave ripped into him from behind.

 

As he hurtled forwards, tree branches gave way under the intense force of him hitting them, many of them cutting into his flesh. Some of the larger limbs caused large gashes, the most notable being a 2 inch deep gash in his torso. Upon striking the ground he did not bounce, but he drove a trench into the ground, his body parting the earth. He dug in for about 30 feet until he finally slowed to a halt.

 

Breathing heavily, he struggled to try and stand up “Urgh… Crap.” Then he passed out.

 

 

Sonic: Wha??

 

Me: What's wrong?

 

Sonic: What's an “ass - sail - ant?”

 

Me: You're kidding, right…?

 

Sonic: …….

 

Shadow: Pathetic

 

Sonic: :'(

 

Me: Go on then Shadow, explain.

 

Shadow: ……..

 

Me: LoL n00b.

 

Next chapter, the mysterious stranger's identity is REVEALED!!! Maybe.
