A Tale of an Origin
By Sonic the Hedgehog
Published and translated by D-H Sonic F
        Hello! Sonic the Hedgehog here. I have decided to tell you Earthlings
the story of how I started living in the Green Hill Zone, and how Doctor
Ivo Robotnik came to be.
        Just for effect, I’ll tell you a scene from my youngsterhood, when I
was just born. It starts like this:
        "He’s 3 days old and we still don’t know what to name him!" My mom,
Jiyas the Hedgehog, said. "Hmm…… we’ve decided, not Detkujh, not Ranud,
not Wekl, how about… Sonic?" My dad, Rukig the Hedgehog, said. "Sonic?
What kinda name izzat?" Jiyas said.
        Jiyas continued. "Actually, for some strange reason, it sounds like a
perfect name." "I wonder why." Rukig said.
        When I was two years old, Jiyas died. I daily bursted out in tears for
two months. Since Rukig had to work, I went to a day care center daily.
When I got there, there was an adult female pink echidna to watch over
the kids. The room was filled with toys, posters, and all sorts of other
stuff. 
        "Hello there. What is your name?" the pink echidna said. "Sonic." I
said. The pink echidna continued, "Hello, Sonic. My real name is
Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz." "O-kay." I said, and went over to
the others to play.
        Years passed. I got to know the kids well, but something terrible
happened when I was four.
        Rukig was late to pick me up from day care. I waited and waited and
waited. According to the clock, it was 1 hour and 24 minutes since
everyone else’s dads picked them up. Liz was worried as well as me.
"I’ll call your dad at work. Something must be keeping him." She called
and someone said that Rukig left the office about an hour and a half
ago. "Thank you. Goodbye." Liz said, and then she hung up.
"Your dad is on his way, must be caught in a traffic jam." Liz said. I
was staring out the window, hoping that my dad would come.
Then I saw a car pulling up in the parking lot.
"Daddy! It must be Daddy! It has to be Daddy!" I said. When a person got
out, I realized it wasn’t Rukig. I cried.
"Hello, I’m from Mobius Police. I’m here to report that Rukig the
Hedgehog has deceased. Have a nice day." He left the day care center.
Liz and I were stunned.
"He-he-he-he-he’s d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dead?" I stuttered.
"Y-yes." Liz said. I burst out in tears. I was orphaned.
Liz thought for a minute. "Dear Lord, what will I do with this poor
child. I can’t let nothing happen." she thought.
Then she remembered something. According to Mobius law, I had to go to
the city orphanage. She gulped. At least the orphanage had a five-star
rating.
Still, five or no stars, she would have to check it out. She took me
into her car. The car was nice. It was blue, with red seats, and had a
Dleifrag the Cat bumper sticker. There was not one dent, stain on the
seat, scraped window or fade on the bumper sticker in the entire car.
        "All right, let’s check out this orphanage." Liz said. "Wait here." She
went into the building.
        The room looked terrible. Nothing was clean. There was a chalkboard
that in sloppy handwriting said "Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G
F E D C B A," and big posters that said "Born to Kill" and "We rule you
stink." The kids’ hair was totally messed up, and apparently never been
washed.
        The whole thing looked like the devil’s orphanage with the fire put
out. "This place is terrible!" Liz said. "How ever did you convince the
V.I.P. to give you all five stars?!?"
The person running the place pointed to a door labeled "Hypnosis room."
And then the person running the place said, "And why don’t I put you in
it?!" "No! I’ll never go into that infernal room of yours!" "It, is,
un-, stoppable!" "Why?" Liz kicked the person running the place, and
hurried out the door. She took a scroll out of her pocket and jotted
something down on it. "Allright, Green Hill Zone, hang in there!" she
said. She put the scroll in her pocket and hurried to her car. They were
off. "Boy," she said, "I’ll never let you go to that place if we have to
be fugitives!"  
They reached their destination, the Green Hill Zone. I looked at it. It
was full of trees, but here and there were little huts. There was a
little rope leading from nearby trees to way off into the distance. Liz
pulled on it. A large bunch of animals came out from there huts.
"Hello everyone, we come in peace. I’m here to inform you that Sonic the
Hedgehog will be joining you here in the Green Hill Zone. Now none of
you be afraid, he is coming with something that will definitely help
everyone here." Liz turned around to me. "Sonic the Hedgehog, I hereby
give you the Three Scrolls of Power, the Scroll of Courage, the Scroll
of Hope, and the Scroll of Cleverness. The residents of the Green Hill
Zone are dying of thirst and hunger. Read these scrolls and you’ll have
all you need to save the Green Hill Zone."
I looked at the scrolls. "I can’t understand this language." I said. Liz
said, "Believe me, you will."
"Goodbye, Sonic," Liz continued, "Hope we see each other again." Tears
came to my eyes. Jiyas leaving, Rukig leaving, Liz leaving, everyone
leaving..
Liz got in the car. "Goodbye, Sonic." she said. "Goodbye, Liz." I said.
Liz drove away. I felt like everyone I knew was leaving. Which they
were, because I was in the Green Hill Zone. I was forced to start over
my social relationship.
"Hello, everyone. I’m Sonic. Who are you people?" I said. "We’re dying,
that’s all you need to know." a little rabbit said. "Maybe I should read
those scrolls," I said, and sat down against a tree. I started reading.
I started with the Scroll of Courage. I couldn’t understand the language
at first, but eventually, I understood it better than I understood
Mobian. But it didn’t seem to be written in words, it seemed to be
written in feelings.
Finally, I finished reading them all. I was feeling much better. I
helped all the residents of the Green Hill Zone find food, and all I
needed to do was be courageous and clever and I could find years worth
of food.
Years passed. I grew older.
And older.
And older.
‘Til I was 13 years old!
I got to know the residents of the Green Hill Zone well. I liked (and
like now) to run. I started running faster and faster. I ran at an
average of 76 M.P.H. But I never broke the sound barrier.
Once I accidentally dug into the laboratory of Doctor Ovi Kintobor
(using a Super Sonic Spin Attack), an expert scientist. "What’s that?"
Ovi said, when he heard me digging in. "Oh my god," I said, when I saw
what I had dug myself. "What are you doing in my lab?" Ovi said.
"I am Sonic the Hedgehog. I dug into here by accident. Honest!"
"Don’t be afraid, little hedgehog. I won’t hurt you. Welcome to Ovi
Kintobor labs. I am Ovi Kintobor."
        "Well, Ovi, what are you working on?"
        "Well, I have been working on this Retro-Ortital Chaos Compressor, or
R.O.C.C., and it supposed to take evil from a person and put it in these
emeralds I call ‘Chaos Emeralds,’ but I can’t get it to work!"
        "Take evil from someone? How does that work?"
        "It would take hours to explain, but it effects their brain patterns
and puts a certain amount of 
‘evil brain energy’ in the Chaos Emeralds. That hardly covers any of how
it works, but you’d be bored to death if I explain much more."
        "Well, maybe you could give me a couple papers on how the R.O.C.C.
works."
        "Well, if you really are interested, I’ll run some photocopies and give
you some papers on the R.O.C.C."
        "Thank you!" I said. When Ovi ran all the photocopies, I took the
photocopies and ran back to the Green Hill Zone.
        "Hello, Sonic!" Johnny Lightfoot the Rabbit said. "Whatcha got there?"
Uriri the Squirrel said, pointing to the papers that Sonic was holding.
Sonic told them about Ovi and the R.O.C.C. and all that. Then Sonic went
back to his hut and read the papers Ovi gave him.
        2 years passed. I routinely visited Ovi, and he let me use his exercise
equipment to improve my speed. Eventually, I started running so fast my
sneakers burned to a crisp. "OUCH!" I said, jumping right out of my
sneakers. So Ovi built me a pair of "friction-proof" sneakers.
        One day I began running so fast I nearly passed out. Eventually, I
started running faster than sound, and I turned blue and passed out.
When I woke up, I became permanently blue. "I’d better practice that so
I won’t pass out again!" I said. I began running at supersonic speeds
again. It took a while but eventually I didn’t pass out when I ran so
fast.
        "I’m going to go back to the Green Hill Zone. Bye, Ovi!" I said. "Bye,
Sonic!" Ovi said.
        When I got there, everyone was shocked. "Sonic, you’re blue!" Tukfed
the Echidna said. "Yeah! I thought you were purple!" Franko Fox said.
"I’m not purple anymore! I happened when I started running at supersonic
speeds and I turned blue and passed out. I practiced running at
supersonic speeds and eventually I stopped passing out when I ran that
fast." I said.
        So that’s how I began running at supersonic speeds. But one day with
Ovi wasn’t as happy as the rest. Ovi was finished with the R.O.C.C., and
it began to put the world’s evil in the Chaos Emeralds. But six Chaos
Emeralds wasn’t enough to fit the world’s evil. Ovi was one emerald
short. He began an all-out search for a seventh emerald, the Gray Chaos
Emerald.
        I looked in the fridge for something for lunch. All that was in there
was a rotten egg. "Peee-euugh!" I said. I handed the rotten egg to Ovi,
who was entering commands into the R.O.C.C.. But he entered a slight
miscalculation and I couldn’t believe my eyes.
        The R.O.C.C. went nuts, bonkers, totally berserk, and it zapped Ovi and
the rotten egg in his hand, began transferring the evil in the emeralds
into Ovi. "Ovi Kintobor.. is no more! Prepare.. to.. be.. destroyed..
by.. Doctor Ivo Robotnik!" Ovi/Robotnik said, as Ovi was being turned
into Robotnik.
"I shall control Mobius forever!" Robotnik ranted. "Oh yeah? And how are
you going to do that?" I said. "The Emeralds - it's all in the Emeralds!
Now I am evil like them. Beautiful, symmetrical, and unstoppable! I
shall launch them into space and they'll help me control the world and
NO ONE will ever find the Gray Emerald. No one!" Robotnik said as he was
nearly frothing at the mouth with delusions of grandeur. I’m not sure
why he said "symmetrical," it’s probably because he was so exited he
couldn’t think up the right words.
        All of the sudden Robotnik realized his mistake. "YOU! NOW YOU KNOW MY
PLAN- you little walking pincushion! YOU SHALL BE DESTROYED!" With that
threat, Robotnik lunged at me. But I was too fast. I bolted out the door
to warn my friends in the Green Hill Zone. Jiyas leaving, Rukig leaving,
Liz leaving, Ovi leaving, everyone’s leaving..
        I arrived at the Green Hill Zone. "Everyone! ALERT! Report to the
Battle Base at once!" Sonic zoomed to the Battle Base in the Green Hill
Zone, Act 3. Soon, everyone in the Green Hill Zone was in the Battle
Base. "Everyone. Something terrible has happened. Doctor Ovi Kintobor
has ceased to exist, he is now Doctor Ivo Robotnik. Robotnik is a
certain threat to us, and to all of Planet Mobius. We must have all
defenses ready at all times, or we may be destroyed. Repeat, Robotnik is
a certain threat to us, and to all of Planet Mobius." I announced. "We
must resist. It is never futile."
The End
Actually, this is just the beginning. Keep reading stories about me,
they can never end!
