On day one, I spawned in as Shadow the Hedgehog! “Hey, check out my stats! Look
how many hearts I have! Oooo, I also have a shiny red stone in my
inventory. I wonder what that is for. But what’s this? Ugh! I’m stuck
in some kind of glass tube! “Hey! Let me out of here!” Just then I saw a young girl walk slowly up to me. “Who are you?” “*Cough* I’m Maria. I know we were very
close, but I don’t have much longer. My sickness is worsening. I’m going to get you
out of here before it’s too late. *Cough* you must Find the seven chaos emeralds.
Everyone's fate depends…on…you.” Maria touched the glass and
everything started shaking! Just then robots burst into the room
and started firing, hitting Maria. “Maria!”
She fell to the ground and was gone. All of a sudden, everything around me went
hazy. I was being teleported somewhere! Next thing I knew, I was
in a green field somewhere. “Huh? What’s this? I’m a baby hedgehog
now! I’m not very strong at all.” “Come into the den, Shadow. You’ve played
long enough in the field. It’s nap time.” I looked for the voice, and saw someone who must be my mom. But
I was starting to feel dizzy and weak. “I’ll make sense of this after I sleep.” I went into the den, and took a nap.
On day two I woke to the sound of shouting! I ran out of the den and saw my mom being
chased by none other than Sonic the Hedgehog! “I can sense you have a chaos stone
here! And you're gonna give it to me, Cuz I gets what I wants, ya dig?” “I don’t have any emeralds! I swear.
Leave my family alone, you big bully!” I couldn't believe how mean Sonic was being! This
wasn’t like the Sonic I knew. What was going on?? “Hey, leave my mom alone! She didn’t do anything to you. Since when did you
become the bad guy, Sonic?” “Who is this pip squeak? What, were
you born yesterday?? I’m the greatest super villain to ever exist!
And don’t you forget it, kid.” “Go inside, Shadow! Dr. Eggman will
be here any moment to help us.” Dr. Eggman? Helping civilians?
What was this? Opposite world? “Sorry kid, your Mom is going with me until I find the chaos stone she is hiding But I’ll
leave you with a little parting gift.” He placed some TNT at the
den and it blew it to pieces! I tried to get to my mom, but Sonic
grabbed my mom and in no time, he was gone! He was so much faster and stronger
than me now. Then I had the thought- Maria must have sent me to an alternate dimension! “I better get some tools and build some
shelter from mobs. And I need to rescue that lovely owl that is apparently my mom. I’ve
never had a mom before. I have to protect her!” I got to work punching some nearby
trees. With the wood I collected, I made myself a crafting table,
then crafted a sword and a pickaxe! With the leftover wood, I made a basic
shelter to hunker down in until I knew what to do next. Later I’d turn
it into something truly special! I finished it in time before
any spooks came out to get me. I wasn’t certain about anything anymore. Not in this weird reality. On day three I decided to go explore the area. Maybe Sonic wasn’t too far away.
And then I could get my mom back. As I explored, I noticed a few gold rings
floating in the air. I collected them and followed in their direction. I could still
run fairly fast, even for a little guy. They led me to a beach, where I
started thinking about my first problem. Sonic was looking for chaos emeralds too. “Wait a minute. Maybe I really do have one.
Maybe that’s why he was drawn to the den.” I pulled out the red stone in my
inventory. Yeah…this was definitely one. “That’s a mighty big stone for a little
guy like you. Let me help you with that.” I turned and saw a bat lady standing next to me. “Rouge?” “!!!HUH!? How do you know my name??” “We’ve met before. But when I was much taller. I’m guessing I'm in an alternate reality
seeing as you don’t know who I am.” “Ok, pip squeak. Sounds like your
bottle of milk went sour. That, or you're messing with me. And
nobody messes with me, Sugar.” She went to nab the red stone, but I was
quicker than her and dodged her advances. “In my world, we’re part of Team Dark. I
was sent here to save this world. Maybe after you’ve had some time to think, we
can join forces. Until then…I’m out.” I ran as fast as I could so Rouge
couldn’t get the stone. If she was anything like she was in the world I
came from, she was an expert thief. I made it back to the shelter and
decided now that Rouge was on my radar, I’d better make some improvements. “I better start mining some stone!” I ducked into a nearby cave and mined
out a solid amount of stone. Using the stone I improved my shelter.. Then I used the
remaining stone to craft a set of stone tools. Just as I finished, a bunch of crabs
came crawling at me out of nowhere! “Looks like I'm in a pinch.” I took out my new stone
sword and started swinging. What a bunch of crabs! I
didn’t do anything to you!“ It’s a good thing I had just made my new sword, because I was able to deal with them
quickly. When the last one disappeared, I saw it had left behind a pair of shoes on
the ground, along with some crab meat. Cool! “I’ll try these on tomorrow. For now, I
better get inside before more mobs come!” On days four and five I woke up hungry so I filled up on some crab for breakfast. I’d need
to stretch my legs after a meal like that. “Let’s see what these shoes can do.” As soon as I put them on, I
started growing and gaining hearts! “Finally! I’m a normal sized hedgehog. Not
as big as I was, but it will do for now.” I immediately sprinted around the area. “Yeeeehaaa!” I spotted another trail of gold rings and
followed them up and over a grassy hill. I soon found myself blazing
through a jungle biome, when I came across a big purple cat going fishing. “Big?” “Oh. Howdy. Who are you?” I introduced myself and explained why
I was in this world. In my world Big was a good friend to sonic. I asked
him if he was friends with Sonic. “Friends with that mean dude? Nah.
I’m just friends with Froggy here. I don’t know much about anything else than fishin’” Big’s frog friend greeted me. “You’re just like the Big I know.
And he always helps when the world needs him. Will you come back to
my base and be part of my team?” “CROAK!” Froggy and Big agreed and I led them
back to my humble base. To no surprise, I had some visitors already at the base. Some orbinauts were surrounding
the base, we couldn’t get in! Big and I swung into action, literally.
We used our swords and bigs fishing rod to get rid of all them, but one had
creeped up on me! It was about to take me out! Luckily Big caught sight of it,
and gave it a big thump, taking it out. “Whew, that was a close one,
thanks Big! I owe you one.” To pay him back, I decided to make him his own
special box house. Cats love boxes, and I wanted to show him I appreciated him. The house was
soon done, and Big and Froggy checked it out. “Not too shabby! This will do great! Thanks bud!” On days six through eight I woke up to the
smell of fish and carrots. I went outside and saw Big and Froggy had built a carrot garden!
Big was by a campfire, cooking up some fish. “Hope you’re hungry!” Big tossed some cooked fish over to me,
and I gobbled them right up. I had no idea how I had survived without
him! I thanked him for breakfast. “So there’s a cave nearby that I
wanted to explore. We should see if there’s any iron in there, just
in case Sonic decides to show up.” Big agreed and Froggy hopped on his back. We searched the cave, and were lucky enough to
find lots of coal, and just a little bit of iron! We walked outside and I noticed
there was a whirring sound, and from out of the trees came a drone! “That’s one of Sonic’s drones!” I got my sword out and started trying to cut it down, but it wasn’t so easy.
I was missing a lot of hits. Luckily Big knew what to do. He got out his
fishing pole and began pulling it down out of the sky. As it fell to the ground, I ran
over to it and smashed it with my sword!. “This was a piece of cake, like air wack-a-mole–” Just as I said it, another drone came out
of nowhere, and dropped a bomb on Big!!!! The explosion was enormous and knocked me back. I
got up and bolted back to the fiery embers. To my utter horror, nothing of Big remained. The blast
was so powerful, that Big the Cat was no more. ‘NO!! Big! I’m so sorry! I got you into
this mess! And poor Froggy! Gone too!” My sadness turned to red hot rage. ‘I WILL AVENGE YOU, BIG AND FROGGY!” It was then that I noticed a small
red wisp staring at me. It looked sad. “Oh no, did those bad guys use your powers
for evil? I’m sorry. I know you only like the good guys, it wasn’t your fault. Come on. I will
look after you. You can come back home with me.” Once we arrived back at the base I made a monument for one of my friends. I was
so sad I couldn't see them.
Using some of the materials I got from
the drones and mine, I upgraded the base and made a spot for the red wisp to stay.
It was time to start plotting my revenge. Time to get crafty.” With the little bit of iron I collected,
I managed to make myself an iron sword and chestplate. I would need to find more iron later.
On days 9-10 I awoke with a start- My Father was in my room! Well, not really. It was a hologram
being projected in my room via my fathers powers. He was searching for me. My father–or
creator, as some would call him– was…BLACK DOOM. He’s not the kind of dude you want to be related to. He doesn’t care about others. I was
only created by him to do his bidding. “Shadow. I sense you. You are close. But not
close at all. You will return to me. And we WILL finish what we started. Mankind will be fed
to my army and the world will be mine. And if you do not return…I will find you soon. It’s
only a matter of time. Thus saith Black Doom.” The holograph disappeared as quickly as it
arrived. Black Doom was hot on my trail. I needed to speed up my
search for the chaos emeralds. For days 11 through 12 I fortified my base,
seeing as Black Doom was searching for me. I would need a lot more protection. I set up some
torches too, to keep the bad mobs away at night. With that complete, I decided to go
check out the snow biome to see if I could find some chaos emeralds. I had to
start somewhere! I hadn’t traveled far, when suddenly I ran into a
group of strange looking robots. “Sonic’s henchmen creations!” I grabbed my weapon and hit the robots. It
only took a couple hits to disable them, but the weird thing was–there were rabbits
inside the robots that hopped away to freedom. “Sonic, you really are just like Dr.
Eggman. An evil animal snatcher.” Eventually I made it to the snowy biome.
I was racing across the cold terrain, when something even faster came whizzing past me. I stopped running, and a silver hedgehog
came and stopped in front of me. “Silver?” Just as I said his name, the
hedgehog hit me with a blast! “Stand down, enemy! Sonic told me you’re the one trying to steal all the
chaos emeralds for yourself! “Not for myself. I’m finding them to help save
my world from destruction! Sonic is the evil one! “He said you were the evil one!” “Well, seeing as he kidnapped my mom and blew
up her house, and I didn’t kidnap anyone, and befriended a wisp, I’d say you were lied
to. Wisp only befriend good beings, right?” “Oh…that actually makes a lot of sense…I have
a wisp friend too. And so does Dr. Eggman.” Silver told me I should talk
to Dr. Eggman as he would be able to help me. He offered to take me to him. I agreed and invited Silver to join me back at
the base. We could go find Dr. Eggman tomorrow. He agreed and we raced back to the base. Before we could go to sleep though, I had to
make Silver and his wisp their own room. I put something together quickly. I thought it turned
out pretty good! Tomorrow I would find Dr. Eggman! On days 13 to 15 Silver told me I could
find Dr. Eggman in the mushroom fields. “Since you can find your way, I’ll keep watch
over the base in case Sonic comes around.” I thanked him for his help, then headed off
toward the mushroom fields. When i got there, I noticed there were some gold rings
along the path in the mushroom fields, which I happily collected as I ran. Just then a giant bear robot jumped out of hiding and attacked me! He instantly drained
a lot of my health. I was in bad shape, it looked like there was no way I could win!
Just then, someone dropped down from the sky. “Looks like you can “bear”ly defend yourself.” Rouge the bat took out a diamond sword and
smacked the robot bear, finishing him off! “Woah, talk about timing! Why did you help me? “I’m a part of the Anti-Theft Coalition. I’ve been surveilling you. I think you really were
telling the truth. So I wanted to help.” I was glad to hear she believed me. But I still wasn’t sure I could trust her! She
was a notorious thief after all. “By the way, there’s a shortcut to Dr. Eggman’s if you head that way. You’re welcome.
Now try not to die. I’ll be around.” Rouge jumped into the sky and flew away.. “Well, thanks for the tip I guess!” I turned toward the shortcut and continued
making my way toward Dr. Eggman’s. On days 16 to 19 I took the shortcut through
the mushroom fields. I was looking around for Dr. Eggman when Silver came
running up at lightning speed. “Shadow! Sonic’s men are on their way to your
base. We’ll need your help to defend it!” I nodded and Silver and I ran back
to the base as fast as we could. By the time we arrived, my base was
on fire, with robots shooting at it, and there was someone else
I knew from my world there. “Tails.” But he was controlling the robots! He
was clearly Sonic’s right hand henchman. Silver ran at Tails before I could make
a move. Tails easily knocked him away, and Silver ran off wounded! “Heal up Silver, I’ll handle this!” I ran around and quickly assaulted
the robots, breaking them to bits.. With the robots all defeated, I turned to Tails. “The Tails I know would never help an evil
villain like Sonic. You hurt my friend! GAAH!” I ran right at him, but he jumped
into the air and hovered above me. His tail gave him the ability to float.
“Sonic sends his regards…and destruction.” Tails flew above the house blowing it up
entirely and flying away and out of sight. I had no choice but to stay and rebuild
everything. Dr. Eggman would have to wait. That’s when I noticed some animals
watching me from a hiding spot. “Who are all these creatures?” “They are animals that have
fled from Sonic’s attempts to turn them into Robots. Word has
spread about you, it appears.” They were all welcome to stay. Looked
like I’d need to start from scratch anyways, the base was really destroyed.
I would need a lot more space for my base. I had to go collect way more resources than I had. “I’ll be back in a flash.” Once I had enough materials, I expanded
the floor plan and made rooms for the different animals. I made sure
I had a furnace too. I also set up a perimeter around the house to help
keep the robots and other bad mobs out. It was looking good. “I should finish getting more iron so I can
upgrade the rest of my tools and armor.” I ducked into a nearby cave, and was
lucky enough to find a big stash of iron! “Oooh, yeah. Now we're talkin’.” I mined up as much as I could, then smelted
it all down back at my base. Then I used it to make the rest of my armor, as well
as all the other tools I would need. “Let’s see Tails try to beat me now!” On days 20 to 22 I wanted more food around
to eat, so I went looking for more options. I ran to a wheat field and gathered
some wheat for bread and cakes. I noticed some motobugs riding towards me. “These guys have no clue
who they are messing with.” I ran circles around them, I
ran so fast that I started a fire in the wheat and the motobugs caught on fire! “You guys are toast.” I heard some sheep bleating and found
a flock of them nearby. I herded them back to the base and made them a pen. I
wanted to use their wool for my statue. I laid down grass and wheat in their
pen so it would be a cozy spot for them. “I hope you like it.” I then started crafting materials so I could start working on my statue. I knew
exactly what I wanted to make! But what do you think it is I’m
making ? A pretty blue mushroom ? A statue of black doom picking his nose?
Let me know your guess in the comments! On days 23 through 26 it was now time to go find my new mentor so I traveled
back toward the mushroom field. I soon reached the shortcut, and followed it
until I arrived at the mushroom fields finally found what had to be Dr. Eggman’s base. At
first I thought it was just another tall mushroom. It was weird imagining being nice to him.
I usually just wanted to knock him out! “Hello there young hedgehog. Kindly turn back.
This island is not safe for you, I’m afraid.” His voice came over a loud speaker. “But I’m actually here because I need your
help. I want to defeat Sonic, free my mother, collect the chaos emeralds, and save
mankind from my father, Black Doom.” “....BAHAHAHAH! That's a good one, son. Did one
of my friends put you up to this? Those rascals.” “No! I’m serious. I was told you could
help me become strong and knowledgeable enough to defeat the evil of this world
and mine. Are you going to help me or not?” “Hmmmm…tell you what. If you can
run around this island by the time I count to 30…I'll Take you on as my apprentice.” I smirked. “You’re on.” Before he even began counting, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I was blitzin’
around the island like no tomorrow. By the time I got back to Dr. Eggman, he
had only gotten halfway through counting. “Hmmm...most impressive. Yes. Yes, I think you will be a very good opponent for
Sonic. Come inside, come tell me your story.” From days 27 through 31, Dr. Eggman began
training me to detect Chaos emeralds, and go up against Sonic's robots. We did training every day.
Running, punching, learning how to reprogram robots,
meditating, and a lot more. While I stayed there, I told Eggman
about my life story…and about Maria. “Do you have a granddaughter in this world?” “Indeed I do. She went to
college to become a scientist. No illnesses—except the one in her brain.” “Huh?” “Oh! Nothing. Just muttering nonsense
to myself. Maria is fit as fiddle!” It was the best news I heard this entire
time. In this reality she was safe and alive. It was time for my final challenge. “In the Great Mountains there is a chaos
emerald. If you can find it and get through the many traps and defeat the foes that
live there…your training will be complete.” “I will be back in a flash.” Before I left, Dr. Eggman
handed me a pair of new shoes. “I noticed your shoes were looking
a bit run down. I took the liberty to make you a new pair, and
added some upgrades as well.” “Whoa! These look pretty cool! Thanks!” I put on the shoes and went on my hunt for
the chaos emerald in the Great Mountains. “These shoes are incredible! I was even FASTER!” I arrived at the mountains shortly, and I
followed the vibrations to where the emerald was. Eventually I came to a cave Inside
was a purple tchaos emerald! There was also a big robot! The Robot looked like Sonic. “<METAL-SONIC-SENSING-THREAT.
TERMINATION SEQUENCE INITIATING>” Fast as a whip I sped over to the
robot and deprogrammed him! He was now a docile robot and let me take the emerald. I then programmed the metal sonic
to only try and destroy Sonic. “Let's give Sonic a taste of his own medicine.” With the emerald in my possession,
I sped back to Dr. Eggman. On days 32-35 I arrived at Eggman’s base
and presented the emerald to Dr. Eggman. “Astounding! You really are the real deal!
Sonic is going to have to really watch out for you. Here, take this. It’s a fancy new
weapon I created. It should come in handy.” “Thank you, Dr. Eggman. I’m so
glad you aren’t an evil maniac, like in my world. Anyhow, I hope to see
you around. I still might need your help.” I said goodbye and zoomed away back
toward the base. I couldn't wait to tell everyone I had collected another emerald. Before I could get home though, I saw something terrifying chasing
a rabbit in the field. It was Sonic! Oh no! He’s trying to get more animals
for his robots. I’ve got to stop him! I snuck in closer and took aim with the
new weapon Dr. Eggman had given me. “Let’s see how he likes this!” I fired it off, hitting Sonic! What I failed to
remember though, is now he would be attacking me! “YOU AGAIN! GET OVER HERE!” I took out my sword and started
swinging, but Sonic was way too strong! I had to get out of there, but how?
Sonic was too fast for me to just run away! “What’s this? Do I sense chaos emeralds on you?” Uh oh, I had to do something, and quick! Using
my new shoes, I started running around Sonic, encircling him in flames! While he was
distracted, I was able to make my escape. “I’ll find you!!!” I was mad at myself for failing,
Sonic was going to just keep capturing animals. Clearly I wasn’t fully
ready to go toe to toe with him. I noticed some gold rings and decided to go
collect them, even though it was getting dark. As I was collecting them I was
suddenly surrounded by a wither! It hovered above me and shot its skulls. I wasn’t
able to dodge them all, and got hit by a skull. “My health bar! It’s gone black!
Was I dying?! What was this?!” I wasn’t going to bother with this creep.
I just got out of there. I ran. Fast! After all that training here I was running
from this mob, and hiding from Sonic. Maybe I was just a big failure after all.
On days 36 to 39 I arrived back at the base. I greeted everyone, and although I
was feeling deflated from my lack of success, I still had gotten a chaos emerald and
programmed that Metal Sonic. I had some wins. I was telling everyone about my adventure when
I heard something outside. I went to take a look Tails and the robots were back! “Come on! I just got back!
Don’t you guys have a life?.” I hurried and ran around, quickly taking out
each robot. With my training from Dr. Eggman, I knew just where to hit
them to take them down fast. “WHAT?! What are you doing?!” Tails was so shocked, I ran up
to him before he could react. “We’ve got you now, Tails. We are
throwing you in jail for rehabilitation.” Silver then quickly built a small
jail cell, and I threw Tails into it. “We’ll deal with you later.” I turned to Silver and told him
we might be able to use Tails as leverage to get my mom back! Silver
agreed. He also had another idea. “I was just about to go into a cave
before Tails showed up. I need some diamonds for the enchantment table
I’m making. I thought we could get blast protection on our armor.
Would you mind finding me some? “No problem!” I made my way into the cave and dug
deep under the ground. At long last, I came across a stash of diamonds! “Yes! Just what I was looking for! I
started breaking all of the diamonds. As I broke the last block of diamond ore,
I saw there was a chest buried behind it! “Woah, what is this for?” I opened the chest and saw it contained
a map! I wasn’t sure where it led to, but I pocketed it for later examination. I soon arrived back at the base, and handed the diamonds to Silver.
He went off to the crafting table, then came back and gave me the finished enchanting
table! He also gave me a bunch of bookshelves. I then got to work putting together an enchanting
area! Since we had bookshelves, our enchanting table was going to be all powered up. Once it
was finished, I was feeling pretty good about it. I then put our armor on the table, and got
it all enchanted up with blast protection. “Sonic is going to have a
tough time blowing us up now!” On days 40 to 43, I inspected
the map and saw that it led to another treasure chest. It was worth looking into. I took off, leaving Silver
behind to keep an eye on Tails. As I followed the map, I nearly
ran off the side of a cliff! “Woah! I’ve gotta watch where I’m going.
But how am I supposed to get across this?” That’s when I noticed, there was a plane nearby! “Let’s see if this goose can fly.” I started it up and drove off the
cliff. Luckily for me, it flew! “Whoa! I’m gunna be motion sick after this!” I checked the map and saw I was getting close, so
I brought it down for landing. I was able to land without crashing into anything. No villages
flattened, or trees taken out. That was a big win. I got out of the plane and
heard some strange noises. A pack of wolves were howling and coming at
me. They must have seen me flying overhead. “It’s another hedgehog!! Get him!
Hedgehogs are nothing but trouble!” Sheesh, these wolves sure were judgy. But they were right about me. I was going to
give them trouble. Lots of trouble. There were more of them than me, but
I was trickier than they knew. I took out my weapon from Dr. Eggman,
and managed to knock them out. I took out the map, and saw I was right next to
the X! I started digging and soon found a chest. “I hope this was worth the trouble!” I opened it and found a Diamond
axe,0 0 some massive knuckle gloves, and a couple enchanted golden apples. “Aw yeah, it was worth it!” I hopped back into the
plane and took off for home. On days 44-49, my plane ran out of fuel,
but luckily I landed right by my statue. “Huh, I should probably expand this thing!” I checked the chest I kept near
the statue, and sure enough, I saw that Silver had filled it
with the blue blocks I needed. “Man, Silver is the best!” I got right to it, putting together the
next part of the statue. As I built, I couldn’t help but think about home.
Even if my home was…not much of a home.” As I was admiring the work I had done
so far, Silver came running over to me. “Hurry, there’s a gang of zombies attacking
the base, I’m worried they’ll break Tails out!” We got back to the base in time to see that a
gang of zombies was attacking the place. They were even beating down the prison that Tails was
in. He was going to escape if they kept at it! We split up and took out the mobs. “Nice job, Silver. I think it’s high time
we really made this base more secure. It’s only a matter of time before Evil Sonic
or his cronies come looking for Tails!” But what could I build to keep Evil Sonic out? Well I’m not sure I can keep Evil Sonic out,
but I can sure mess with some of his robots! I built a taller fence around the
base as a little surprise for any enemies. Those robots will
have trouble getting in now. On days 50-53 Silver went off to go
mining and I went to feed the sheeps. Just as I had finished taking care
of the sheep, Rouge came swooping in! “You need to keep a better eye on your things!
Your friend Silver has been kidnapped!” What!? I’ve got to rescue
him. How could Sonic do this! “I’m not so sure it was Sonic. I didn’t recognize the baddies. All I know is there were
too many of them for little ol’ me.” “I’ve got to go after them, but I don’t
know if I’m strong enough yet. I have to get more chaos emeralds! And
I can’t leave Tails unguarded!” “I’ll keep an eye on the little pipsqueak.
And as for your emerald. I’m one of the chaos emeralds' protectors, so
I know where you can find one.” “Yeah, that would be great! Where is it?!” I don’t just give it out to
anyone! But I’ll tell you what, If you can get past the security measure,
you can borrow it for your little save the world quest thingy. Just be sure
to bring it back when you're done.” She told me where to find the emerald.
I sped to the building she described, and couldn’t believe what I found inside. There was a maze of laser beams, and in
the center of it all laid a Green emerald. In my world, Rouge and I had a lot
of experience busting into places like this. I was able to glide through the lasers. Finally I was at the center, and
I almost picked up the emerald. “Wait a minute. This isn’t a real
emerald. I’d feel it. This is a fake!” The real emerald was nearby,
though. I could sense it. Just then I noticed a big snake
slithering around the room. I readied my weapon, but it didn’t attack. It just
stared at me. Its eyes were mesmerizing. They put me into a trance! When I had come to, I awoke
to find myself holding the real green emerald! “Well, that was weird. But…cool. Works for me.” I hurried back to the base and Rouge was waiting for me. I explained that the snake
had given me the emerald somehow. “Then I was right. Your intentions are
pure. That snake peers into your soul and if you are worthy…he imparts the emerald to you.
Congrats. I guess you’re not so dumb after all.” “Was that ever in question?” “Kinda.” On days 54-57, I kept searching for
more emeralds and signs of Silver, since Rouge was keeping an eye on the base. “How many more chaos emeralds do I even need?” I thought hard back on what Maria had said. Do you remember? Was it 5 or 7? So far I had red, pink, and green.
Oh! I remember! She said..7! “Four more to go.” “Do you always talk to yourself like
this? You have seen a psychotic robot that looks like me running around here, have you?” “Evil Sonic!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Evil? Wow. You just
go around labeling people like that. Should I call you Vain Shadow? Yeah,
I’ve heard all about how you think you're the hottest thing in town. The
name is just Sonic. Not Evil Sonic.” “Not where I come from! The real Sonic is
good! And defends those in need of help!” “I help others. I help them right off a cliff. BAHAHAHAH!!!
I'm the one and only Sonic!!! No one is as fast as me! OR as strong!
Or as genius-er as me! Including you! “Not to mention, I’m the best at finding the
chaos emerald hiding nearby. AGH ignore that! I mean to talk to Tails. Wait where is Tails?
I haven’t heard from him in days. That rat. He had no clue where Tails was! I
wouldn't reveal that I had him yet. I equipped my knuckles. I needed to distract
him from the emerald so I could look for it. “You took Silver, didn’t you?” “I steal all sorts of materials.
Gold, silver, iron. I take it all?” “You know what I mean” “Psh. Even if I did, who I
kidnap is none of your business.” “It is my business when you take
my mom, and destroy my friends! I took my shot. I bursted over to him and swung
with my powerful gloves. I nearly got him! “Oooo, Feisty much? Don’t worry, you'll
be imprisoned soon enough. Now what was I doing… oh yeah, finding
Tails! Anyway, eat dust, Ug-o!” Sonic was gone in a blur “Ugh, I’ve got to hurry and get to the emeralds. I’m sure he’ll remember why
he was here soon enough.” I focused my attention and could feel a small pull. I followed the feeling and soon
arrived at the base of a waterfall. I kept looking around, then decided to take a
chance. I walked right through the waterfall! Behind it in a little cove was the
blue emerald! Just sitting there, ready for the taking. No traps or guards! I now had the red, pink,
green, and blue chaos emeralds! On days 58 through 62 I decided to go mining back
by the base, since I didn’t have any other leads. “I just need to get enough diamonds
to finish the rest of my armor.” I managed to find some more diamonds,
and even picked off a few pesky mobs along the way. I managed to acquire
enough diamonds to make a full set! I took the diamonds back to the base and crafted
a full set of diamond armor excluding the boots Once they were ready, I took everything
to my enchanting table and got to work. Doing all of This enchanting made me think of
Silver. I missed that guy. I hoped he was okay! Next I continued working on the statue, finishing the head and the hair. It turned
out way better than I was expecting! I think you can all tell who it was now, right? I collected sand and gravel to turn into concrete powder but while I was digging I
came across something unexpected. “What’s this? A book?” The book had a recipe in it
for an invincibility potion! “It only lasts 20 seconds, but that
could come in handy, big time!” I collected the items that the recipe
called for and soon enough I had the potion put together. To activate it,
I’d have to jump on it and smash it. “I’ll save this for when I’m in a bind.” Then I saw Rouge flying towards
me, she landed and told me she had found a map that might lead to
Silver’s captors, whoever they were. “Nice going, Rouge! I think you would
be an amazing addition to my team, you can stay at my base, what do you say?” “I thought I already was part of your team. And
don’t think I’m giving you that map for free, I require compensation. I know
you can pay me in gold rings.” Always so feisty, in both realities. I
gave her the rings and I took the map. I got to work building her a room at
the base. Rouge was very opinionated on how it looked and made sure to give me
a lot of specifics before I had started. I was exhausted after all that, so I
called it a night and went to sleep. “Tomorrow I will follow the
map and see where it leads.” On days 63 through 66 I had yet another
visitor! It was Dr. Eggman, himself! “Dr. Eggman! I’m glad to see you. I
was just about to follow this map to–.” “A map, you say? Well I’m glad I caught
you in time! I’ve been thinking it over, and I want to be of more help. So I’m giving you this Ring. When it’s powered
up, it turns all your enemies into gold rings!” “Fantastic, thanks! This map might lead to Sonic, and in turn, lead to my captive friends!
So thank you for the special weapon! ” “Oh very good, lad! I’ll keep an
eye on the place while you’re gone. The map led me across a desert. Then
suddenly, I encountered a mob of giant scorpions. I looked at my new ring weapon
and saw it was charged up. I activated it. POOF! The scorpions that were trying to stab
me turned to gold rings! I collected them. “Dang, this ring is awesome.
It really put an end to my suffer-RING! Ha!” Just then, I saw a beautiful purple cat coming
up to me. She was clearly some kind of princess. “I sense you are searching for chaos
emeralds, yes? By destroying these scorpions, you have saved my people from a dangerous enemy.
You truly are a hero. I will bless you with help when you need it most. WIth the power of the
Sol Emerald, I will repay your good deed.” “Nice! I will remember this,
thank you, your highness.” I went on my way.
On days 67 through 70 I was running through the jungle when I
finally reached the destination on the map. It was a mystical looking ruin.
I ran up to the giant staircase leading to the door of the temple ruins.
Inside were a bunch of big knuckled warriors. They saw that I had intruded and started coming at me. I brandished my own pair of
knuckles, and they stopped advancing. They asked if I was part of the Knuckle Tribe. “No. But I’m looking for my friend named Silver. He was kidnapped and I have
reason to believe he is here.” “‘I'm over here, Shadow! There’s
no need to fight them. They are not holding me hostage–anymore.
Thanks to Princess Tikal.” “I’m sorry to worry you, strange visitor. My tribe
did kidnap Silver for his powers. But I convinced my father and the tribe of their errors.Now
Silver helps us as a friend. Not as a prisoner.” Silver explained how Princess TIkal
had learned how to control chaos emeralds so that their power would
not be explosive. They were in a war against a mob of Endermen and had
been looking for ways to defeat them. Silver, taking pity on them after releasing
him, decided to stay and help them. “I sense many chaos emeralds on you.
Please, come learn how to control the chaos. WIth that much power…there could
be much destruction. It’s dangerous.” Silver and I were reunited and we both
trained with the Knuckle Tribe on how to control the long lost art
of controlling chaos emeralds. “My grandmother always taught me:
Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller is
the one that unifies the chaos." They even showed me how to use my
knuckle gloves to maximize damage. I bowed to the princess. w “I thank you for teaching me the
art of the chaos emeralds. I vow to use them for saving the world, nothing else.” “Because I have seen into your heart, I will gift you one final thing. The
Turquoise Chaos Emerald…is yours.” She revealed the emerald and handed it to me. All of a sudden I started to grow
and be stronger with more hearts! “I’m as tall as Silver now!
I’m full grown! FInally, back to my normal size before
I arrived in this reality.” Suddenly the Knuckle clan was on high alert,
the Endermen were attacking! We ran out of the temple and fought the Endermen. With me
and Silver using our powers and new training, we were able to help the tribe out and
take out most of them. The rest ran away. “I hope that teaches those Endermen a lesson.
Let us know if you ever need help again.” We bowed and took our leave back to our base. On days 71-74 I Found lots of confused
creatures that had escaped being turned into robots by Evil sonic. I felt so bad
for them, it was awful what he was doing. I invited them to come live at
the base, and they readily agreed. “You’re very generous, Zozo, but I’m
not sharing my room. Just so you know.” “Don’t worry, I will add on to the
base so everyone has a spot. Did I tell you Dr. Eggman is staying at
the base now? And so is Rouge.” “Rouge?! Are we sure we can trust her?” “She helped me get a chaos emerald! She
talks tough but she has a good heart.” “Ok. If you say so.” We got home and introduced everyone to each other. Silver helped me make
accommodations for the new arrivals. “I think they’re going to love it here!” Once I was done I noticed one of Princess
Tikal’s men coming up to the base. I met him outside the grounds. He said Princess Tikal
had been taken by the Endermen to a nearby camp. “Ah those Endermen are relentless!
I will save you, Princess Tikal!” On days 75-78 I headed to the cave
where the Knuckle guard led me. There at the entrance was Princess TIkal! “I thought you were being held hostage!” “I’m sorry to worry you, but I
have something for you and I had to be sure you were an ally first.
The fact that you came to save me proves to me you care about others,
and that you care for my people.” “Oh…ok, but have you heard of the
story of the boy who cried wolf?” She hadn’t, and it showed. Princess Tikal revealed what she had for
me, and it was another Chaos Emerald! “Where did you get this yellow chaos emerald?!” “Well…I had to steal it. From my father.
I wish he could be trusted with it, but…he can’t. He is power hungry and
reckless. He kept it locked away in the ruins, but I figured out how to get
to it. He doesn’t know it’s gone…yet.” She also gave me a rod that had been with
the emerald. It contained a lightning bolt. I couldn't thank her enough. Just then we heard crashing
come through the cave.. It was a warden! He was massive, and super strong! He fired his sonic boom at us and we
jumped out of the way. I used my speed to run circles around him, taking
slices of him with my diamond ax. He was able to take a swing at me
and it knocked me over! As well as knocking my heath down a ton. He was
about to take another big hit at me! I thought quick, and activated the
lightning rod Tikal had given me. A great big bolt of lightning hit
the Warden, and destroyed him! “Phew. Thanks for the lightning rod .
I should be getting back to my base, you're welcome to come visit anytime you like.” She thanked me and said she needed to
get back to the ruins to face her father. “Thank you for helping me save
the world, Princess Tikal.” On days 79 through 84 I got back home, and
decided to make some base improvements. Call me a softy, but I felt bad for how small
Tails prison was. I went ahead and changed it up for him a little. Maybe he didn’t
deserve it, but it never hurts to be kind. He didn’t say thanks when I finished,
but I could tell he appreciated it. Then I headed over to my crafting table, and
used the rest of my diamonds to make some armor for Rouge, Dr. Eggman, and Silver. I wanted
my friends to be just as prepared as I was! Then I had an idea! I decided
to try and get Tails to talk. I went to the kitchen and made some dessert. Then I got Silver and we decided to play
Good Cop, Bad Cop to get Tails to talk. I offered Tails a cookie, but
didn’t give it to him yet. “Tell us about Evil Sonic.
What’s he got up his sleeve?” He said he wouldn't tell us unless we let him go. “Fine! Then I'm eating your cookie!” “No! Wait! Gaaah! Fine. I’ll tell you.
He is working with some guy called Black Doom to take the world. They have this
scientist that’s really lost their mind and is making all sorts of brilliant and
deadly weapons. NOW GIVE ME THE COOKIE!!” I tossed him the cookie. Well..this
situation was worse than I thought. Luckily…I only had 1 last chaos emerald to find. On days 85 to 89 I woke up to a commotion outside. Evil Sonic was outside taunting
the refugees on my base. “Oh there, you are! I was looking for
you! Now I know where you’ve been hiding!” “How are you JUST figuring this out? Tails has been here multiple times to
attack us on your orders.” “I’m too busy to bother with coordinates.
That was Tail’s Job before he went AWOL.” “I'M OVER HERE SIR!” “What was that?! Tails?!” “No, that was…uh…Dr. Eggman.” “Dr. Eggman?! MY ARCH NEMESIS?!!” “NO! IT'S ME! TAILS! I'M
BEING HELD AGAINST MY WILL!” “Okay, fine. It is Tails. But you kidnapped my
mom. Give her back, and you can have Tails.” “You bit off more than you can chew, dummy. Tails is coming with me. I don’t do
hostage negotiations. I take what I want!” “Not on my watch.” Dr. Eggman, Rouge, and Silver
all came out and stood behind me. Sonic was bewildered. “Oh. I see how it is! You are definitely
an enemy now! You will regret this!” “No. I will never regret doing what is right.” Just then I started to level up again!
My hearts regenerated and added more! My speed increased too.
Sonic almost looked scared. “Eh..well! I’ll be seeing you soon, and I will get
Tails back! But until then, enjoy a little gift.” Sonic released a bunch of droids into the base. We started fighting the drones that were shooting
at us and flying all around. As we fought I checked my ring. It was still not fully charged.
Otherwise, it would have been super handy. In all the commotion, Sonic was able to escape. “Coward!” We worked together and used our weapons
and cool powers to defeat the drones. “That was pretty awesome you guys.” On days 90 to 93 I was feeling really
awesome. We had totally taken down those enemies with very little damage. How
hard could taking on Evil Sonic really be? I wanted to finish my statue.
I did the eyes and mouth, careful to not make it look too
wonky. It was finally finished! “What’s with the shrine? Who is she?” “Before I say who it is…do you
know who it is? Take a guess.” “Who are you talking to? To me, she looks just
like my granddaughter–before she… left home.” “That’s because it is her, in my reality.
She was the only person who was kind and cared for me. She saved me so
that I could save the world.” “Huh. That’s sweet–I guess. Actually it's
really depressing. Kinda wish I hadn’t asked.” Dr. Eggman changed the subject. “Check out this upgrade I made!I call
them Cyclone wheel . They help you jump high in the air with the science
of tornadoes beneath your feet!” I added them to my shoes and I could
jump super high with them, almost flying! This was pretty cool! I never
thought I'd hear myself say this, but I was glad to have Eggman on my team. On days 94 through 96 I still had
one more chaos emerald to find. I asked my team if they had any
good ideas on where to find it. “My intel suggests there should
be one on the highest peak of the snowy abominable mountains.
It won’t be easy getting there.” Luckily, I was up for the
challenge. The very cold challenge. I ran as fast as lightning towards the
mountain. When I reached the base of the mountain, I used my Sole Busters
to help me jump up the mountain. I followed the chaotic pull to the
emerald. Eventually I heard some screaming. “Help! These goats are attacking me!” It was a warmly dressed human running for his
life. With a few mountain goats right behind him. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Everybody calm down.” “Maaaaahh! He is a snoopy human! He has a map that leads to our peaceful goat home. He
plans to bring hunters back here!” “It’s just a hobby!” “Listen, human, how are you liking
all the goats hunting you right now?” “That’s completely different!” The human went to attack the goats, but in
an instant I ran up to the man and hit him, knocking the map out of his hands.
Scared, he ran away into the forest. “There, that ought to fix the problem!” The goats were so thankful, they gave
me some ice cream! Mmmmm Very delicious! At the top I found a white chaos
emerald, camouflaged by the snow. I took the white emerald. Power surged through me! I had all 7 chaos
emeralds! I felt like I was going to explode! I did my chaos breathing and
was able to control the chaos. Then I ran back down the
mountain and back to the base. On day 98 I returned back to the base
and showed my team all the emeralds I had collected. Now I just needed to figure out
how to use them and not have them consume me. “The fact that you have all these emeralds on you
and you haven’t exploded into a million pieces, means you are meant to be the keeper of
these stones. You will figure it out.” The only person I knew who ever
used them before in my world was Good Sonic. But…I’m sure it would come easily. It was time to prepare for my journey,
and I knew just the person to lead me to Sonic’s base. But first, I needed to make
more cookies. Once I had a whole stack, I went over to Tails to make him an offer. “Take me to Sonic, and all
these cookies will be yours.” His hunger won and he agreed
to lead me to Sonic’s lair. On day 99 we arrived outside Sonic’s lair. It was a super big building with a
golden statue of Evil Sonic outside. “Ok, its go time.” I I told Tails to stay put where he is
. Then I started fighting the robots that were guarding the doors. But I
had made a mistake, there were more robots here than I thought! During all
the fighting, Tails managed to fly away! “Well, I just needed him to get me here and
I’m here. Hopefully I won’t regret that.” At long last, I took out the robots, and the
way was clear to go inside. As I stepped into the grand entrance though, the place was
packed with even more robots that before! “Oh no! How am I going to
beat all of these guys?!” That’s when I remembered to check my
ring, and saw it was fully charged! “Get a taste of this!” I activated the ring, and turned
all of the enemies into gold rings. “Piece of cake! Now to find Sonic and end this.” “Looking for me?” I turned toward the voice, and saw Sonic looking
at me! But he wasn’t alone. Standing next to him was Tails, and to my horror, Black Doom! Then
someone else stepped out from behind them. “Maria?” It was Maria from Day 1 but she
looked different. She looked… evil! “Looks like this is the end
for you Shadow ole pal!” “Not so fast!” I turned and saw Silver, Rouge, and
Dr. Eggman standing in the doorway! “Did you really think you didn’t need our help?” “Hello Maria! Good to see you, deary!” “It’s Dr. Maria, Old Man. And I’ve had enough
of this meddling with our plans. This ends now!” Dr. Maria flipped a switch and a cage dropped down
from the ceiling, right over all of my friends! “Ah we really should have seen that coming.” “NOW. GIVE ME THE STONES, AND WE CAN FINISH THIS.” My friends were trapped, and there was
no way I was going to be able to take all of these guys on alone. I was doomed!
I needed to use the stones, but how?! It was now day 100 and Black Doom was in
front of me. Dr. Maria was standing near my trapped friends, ready to inject them with
a sleeping serum. All hope was lost! Suddenly, there was a bright light, and a portal opened
behind me. Out stepped a bright blue figure. “SONIC! GOOD SONIC!” “I thought you could use some help kicking
some evil rears. Whoa! I’m seeing double!” “Welcome to the alternate reality! Don’t
be fooled, you're a real big meanie in this world. I have the chaos emeralds,
but I don’t know how to make them work.” “Let’s do this…together. Take your
emeralds out. Breathe. And let go.” “But what if they explode the whole
world? I have to control the chaos!” “No. You need to welcome it.” I took them out and breathed. The emeralds floated around sonic and I. Then in an instant we turned gold! We
were SUPER SONIC AND SHADOW! The enemies were in shock! “Let’s do this!” Sonic and I surrounded Black Doom, punching him between us. He was no match
and couldn’t escape from our punches. While we were hitting him, Silver
managed to break a hole in the cage, and gave Dr. Maria a smack on the head.
As he did so there was a spark and she turned back to normal Maria! Evil Sonic had
planted a chip in her head to control her. “What happened? Where am I?” Back in the center of the room,
Black Doom was at his wit’s end, in a flash, our punches were too much, and
he was destroyed! Evil Sonic came running over to us and tried to fight, but I
knocked him out with a single punch! Tails took one look at us, and ran for the door. “Let him go, he’s no threat to us now.” I ran up the stairs and went through the
door Sonic and Tails had been in front of. Inside were a bunch of cages filled with
animals. Then I saw who I was looking for. “Mom! I’m here to rescue you!” “Oh Zozo, I knew you would come.” I broke my mom out of her
cage and we jumped for joy. Later on we were all standing around back at the
base, as Sonic lit a portal back to our reality. “Well, are you coming?” I thought about it. There was
nothing for me in the old world. “No. I think I’ll stay here with my new family.” “By the way Maria, in case you didn’t notice, Zozo made a huge sculpture of
you, so don’t be freaked out.” ‘ROUGE!” Everyone laughed as we jumped for joy and
celebrated. Everything was finally back to normal.
