So a few days ago, after I drew a fun little Halloween picture of Shadow and Azure (my Sonic OC), I got the idea to make this crossover. It's basically a retelling of Dragon Age 2 but with Sonic characters instead! If you have any problems with Sonic characters, then I suggest you hit that back button right now and save yourself the trouble.

There are just a few things you readers will need to know. Hawke's character will be represented by three characters. Sonic himself will be the "main" Hawke (warrior, sarcastic/charming) while my two OCs, Azure and Umber will be a mage and diplomatic/helpful Hawke and rogue and aggressive/direct Hawke, respectively.

I'll be trying to change a few things up as I go along so I hope you guys enjoy this. I know I literally just started a Dragon Age fic, but that might be put on hold for this. I'm pretty new to crossovers but I think this will turn out rather nicely. Chapter 1 here is just opening scene and sort of a test run. Please enjoy and if you have any tips, let me know!

I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or Dragon Age. Character art on my deviantart.

Torches lit the abandoned courtyard of Albion as two figures in matching armor dragged a short figure into a large estate. One pushed the door opened and the room flooded with light pouring into the dark room. They roughly threw the walrus they dragged into a chair, and he groaned in response.

"I've had gentler invitations," he groaned, rubbing his head before looking up. Before him stood a purple cat in the same armor as the ones who dragged him inside, the crest of a blazing eye on her chest piece. In her hands she held a book and casually flipped through the pages before turning to her 'guest'.

"I am Blaze the Cat, Seeker of the Chantry," she said, introducing herself as she walked into the light. She turned her head to the two and nodded for them to leave the room and give them some privacy.

The walrus chuckled as the two who dragged him in left the room. "And just what are you seeking?" he asked, curious.

"The Champion," Blaze answered.

The walrus let out a soft grunt and examined his claws before casually asking, "Which one?"

"You know exactly why I'm here!" Blaze shouted, clearly not in the mood for the walrus' dilly dallying. She threw the book she held at his face and it landed in his lap before pulling out a dagger and holding the tip right at the walrus' throat. "Time to start talking, Walrus. I hear you're good at it!" She quickly stabbed the dagger into the pages of the book.

The walrus lifted the book from his lap, amazed that the dagger had penetrated through the book so quickly without striking him as well. He recognized the book as his own work, stories he had written over the course of his time with the Champion and his companions, their faces included in the books illustrations. "Now where did you hear that? Did my Nicole tell you? She's always going on and on about me. So…what do you want to know?"

"Everything," Blaze said, "start at the beginning."

A bolt of ice shot out and struck a hurlock eggspawn, freezing it immediately. The two hurlocks with it turned their heads to see where the shot came from and saw a blue hedgehog in dark grey armor and a brown chipmunk in green and white with a staff in hand. The hedgehog ran up and quickly sliced his sword through the two hurlocks before smashing the ice and the hurlocks encased inside to pieces.

The chipmunk bent down and examined the hurlocks. "Scouts," she said. "We'll have to fight them sooner or later."

"Looks like we make our stand here. Get ready, Sal!" he said, readying his sword. Several more eggspawn came up the hills and the two managed to subdue their ranks and were rewarded with a short moment of rest.

"Sonic, are you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, just a scratch, that's all," Sonic said. Sally quickly moved her hand over the wound on his arm, healing it with her magic.

"You'd better not die on me. The last thing I need is for you to contract the Taint!" Once she finished healing his arm, she pulled him up onto his feet. "We can't keep this up forever. I'm almost out of mana!"

"Don't sweat it Sal! We can take anything they throw at us!" he declared. As more eggspawn appeared, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook and a large thumping was heard in the distance. Suddenly, a large ogre appeared on the hilltop and roared at them. "Stay behind me Sal!" Sonic shouted, running up to the ogre. With a few slashes of his sword and spells from Sally's staff, the ogre fell to the ground, dead.

"There's no end to them!" Sally cried as more eggspawn surrounded them. A loud and vicious roar suddenly rang through the sky and Sonic and Sally - and even the eggspawn hurlocks - looked to the cliffs high above them. A dragon perched on the edge and unwrapped it's wings, letting out a loud shriek before taking off and breathing it's fire straight at them.

"Bullshit! That's not how it happened!" Blaze interjected.

"What? Does that not match the stories you've heard, Seeker?" Rotor asked casually.

"I'm not interested in elaborate stories you tell to an eager crowd. I came here for the truth!"

"And what makes you think I know the truth?"

"Don't beat around the bush, Walrus! You knew him even before he became the Champion!"

Rotor quickly held up his arms in defense, hoping to calm the Seeker down. "Even if I did, I don't know where he is now. I don't know where any of them are."

"Do you have any idea what's at stake here?" Blaze asked.

"Let me guess: You're precious Chantry has fallen to pieces and put the entire world on the brink of war and you need the one person who can help you put it back together."

"The Champion was at the heart of it all before the war broke out. If you can't tell me where to find him, then tell me everything you know about him."

"You aren't worried I'll make it up as I go?" Rotor asked, leaning forward.

"Not at all," she answered curtly.

"You'll need to hear the whole story then," Rotor said, leaning back into his chair. "The Blight had been unleashed upon Northamer. Eggspawn poured out of the Wilds, clashing with the armies at the ruins of Mobotropolis. The battle was a disaster and King Maximillian died on the field with his men, betrayed by his most trusted general. With nothing standing in their way, the horde marched forward onto the village of Knothole. It burned to the ground and many innocents lost their lives. The Champion and his friends barely made it out alive."

Character listing (in order of appearance):

-Rotor Walrus as Varric Tethras with NICOLE as Bianca
-Blaze the Cat as Cassandra Pentaghast
-Sonic the Hedgehog as Hawke (warrior, sarcastic/charming)
-Sally Acorn as Bethany Hawke

Just a note that relationships between characters will be more based on the Sonic characters rather than the Dragon Age character they are portraying. For example, Sally and Sonic are not siblings despite taking on the roles of Hawke and Bethany.
