Chapter 1 - Chaos Control

Author's note: Hello readers! Welcome to my latest story, and my 2nd entry into the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom (the first being my novelization of Sonic Adventure)! I actually started writing this story back in 2009, long before I created my account here. In other words, this chapter was written ten years ago. Ever since I became a fan of Sonic when I was five years old, I've been wanting to see my favorite blue hedgehog hit the big screen. You could say that my wish has been fulfilled with the new Sonic movie coming out in November 2019, but I watched the trailer, and I'm already getting a bad first impression of it. This is MY take on what a Sonic blockbuster should be like. Please note that it will appear similar to Sonic X in the beginning, but it won't stay that way. :D Without further ado, on with the story!

Our story begins on Möbius, a distant, Earth-like planet that supports life. It is also home to a blue hedgehog that is able to run at supersonic speeds, hence his name, Sonic. Sonic was doing his usual business: to stop his arch nemesis, an evil mad-scientist named Dr. Eggman.

Sonic's red and white shoes were spinning in a blur as he ran towards Eggman's base, which was a giant egg-shaped building made entirely out of steel. Sonic grinned, and there was a hint of a sparkle in his green eyes as he neared the base.

Suddenly, a monstrous figure burst out of the ground just a few feet in front of Sonic. It was nothing but one of Eggman's many robotic creations. That didn't stop Sonic, however. Before he could even clearly see what the robot looked like, Sonic jumped, curled up into a ball, and rocketed right through the robot's body, destroying it. Sonic landed safely on the ground, but Eggman wasn't done with his speedy foe yet. An enormous cannon slid out from an opening in the wall and fired a powerful laser straight at Sonic, who leaped out of the way just in time.

"We're coming, Sonic!" A voice was heard from overhead before Sonic heard the drone of a propeller-driven biplane. Miles "Tails" Prower, a yellow-orange fox and Sonic's best friend, was piloting the blue-and-yellow plane, which he named the Tornado. A pink female hedgehog named Amy Rose sat behind him, clutching onto the back of Tails' seat. She looked really worried about the situation down at Eggman's base, but that was perfectly typical of Amy, since she had a major crush on Sonic.

The cannon then aimed itself at Tails' plane. Before Tails could react, the cannon fired, sending a blinding laser beam straight at the Tornado. A singeing burst of heat from the laser came so close to Amy that it missed her by less than an inch. That was the least of their worries, as the left side of the Tornado was emitting black smoke.

"Tails, the plane's on fire!" Amy shrieked. "What are we gonna do?!"

"We're going to save Sonic!" Tails confidently replied as the plane began to spiral out of the sky. Tails frantically pushed a few buttons, and a bright golden ring fell out of the bottom of the plane. Sonic vaulted himself over a trio of robots that were guarding the base, and he caught the ring. The ring glowed as Sonic's fingers curled around it. Fueled by a surge of energy from the ring, he bent his arms and legs up to his chest and tucked his head in, and he began to spin dash towards the robots. He rocketed straight through the chest of one robot, then the second, and then the third. Sonic landed just as the robots burst into flames, only to see that the cannon was starting to glow, drawing in energy from the building's core reactor. Just before the cannon fired again, Sonic was able to sidestep in the nick of time, and then he jumped straight through the cannon itself! There was a massive explosion, and for a split second, all hope seemed to be lost. However, the smoke cleared a few seconds later, and the blue hedgehog emerged unscathed.

Meanwhile, things weren't going as well for Tails and Amy. The Tornado touched down, and the fuselage left behind a trail of smoke and fire. The plane was still traveling at breakneck speeds, and to make matters worse, the plane was heading straight for a wall of rock!

"We're gonna crash!" Amy screamed as the plane barreled towards what appeared to be certain death. A flash of red fur was seen, and the wall shattered just before the plane was about to slam into the rock. The plane safely skidded to a stop. Their savior was none other than Knuckles, a red echidna with sharp knuckles on his fists that could break through almost anything.

Tails asked, "What brings you here, Knuckles?"

Knuckles didn't reply. He was watching the events that were occurring at Dr. Eggman's base. Tails and Amy walked up behind him to watch, too.

By this point, Sonic successfully infiltrated the base. The narrow corridors twisted and turned, and around every corner, lasers fired and robots were ready to take on Sonic. Still energized by the ring, Sonic jumped over and slid under every laser, destroyed every robot, and used the shiny robots as mirrors to reflect the dangerous red beams back into the laser guns, destroying them in the process.

In the very center of the base was a circular room with numerous switches and hundreds of screens. Dr. Eggman was sitting in a large black armchair, watching Sonic on one of the monitors. He earned his nickname because his body was very fat and it was shaped somewhat like an egg. (If you want to know his real name, it's Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but you can just call him Eggman for now.) He wore a red lab jacket with a white zipper down the middle and white zipper-like markings on the sleeves. His spindly legs were a comical contrast to his morbidly obese body, and his face was dominated by a rather bushy brown mustache. A pair of frameless pince-nez glasses with tinted, perfectly circular lenses concealed his eyes, and a pair of green-lensed goggles were perched on top of his shiny bald head.

Dr. Eggman wasn't the only one in the room. His two henchbots, Decoe and Bocoe, accompanied him. A large robot with a gun was waiting by the door to apprehend Sonic upon his impending arrival. Decoe was a tall, gold robot, while Bocoe was a short, silver robot. They helped Eggman use the machinery in his lab, but they were somewhat clumsy and stupid at the same time.

The evil, egg-shaped scientist opened a drawer which contained six glowing gems of various colors, called Chaos Emeralds. Eggman was holding a seventh emerald in his hand, but he was waiting for Sonic to arrive before he would do anything with it.

Within five seconds, he heard a loud rush of wind coming from an adjacent corridor before the door to Eggman's lab was knocked down. Sonic stood in the doorway with his hands on his hips and a victorious grin on his face.

The doctor swiveled around in his armchair to face Sonic. "Well, if it isn't my little blue friend. I have all seven emeralds here, and I saved this emerald just for you!" Eggman taunted, pointing a gloved finger at the hedgehog. "All I have to do is place it in this drawer right here, and with a push of a button, the Chaos Emeralds will become the power nucleus of my most advanced missile yet! It will completely annihilate Knothole Village, clearing up the site for me to build the Eggman Empire on its ruins! Hahahaha!"

"I won't let you do this, Eggman!" Sonic attempted to run straight at his foe, but unbeknownst to him, the robot had already wrapped a steel cable around the hedgehog's legs and feet, which were then clamped down to the floor. He did not have any chance of stopping his egg-shaped opponent.

"Hahaha!" Eggman cackled with delight. "Here we go!" He placed the seventh Chaos Emerald into the drawer, glowing with excitement now that he had all seven emeralds. "Knothole Village, it's time to say goodbye!" He dramatically slammed his fist on the button to power up the missile.

Suddenly, a bright flash of light erupted from the emeralds in the drawer as it began arcing and sparking, and Eggman's expression instantly morphed from evil glee to fear.

"Oh, no!" he cried, proceeding to frantically type in all sorts of code into the control panel. "Why is it malfunctioning?" He glared at Decoe and Bocoe. "It was you! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you two to program the stupid machine!"

"I-I'm sorry, Doctor!" Decoe stammered. "My firmware hasn't been updated for a long time!"

The light suddenly engulfed Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Decoe, and Bocoe, as well as the entire base. It then radiated out towards the pile of rock that Tails, Knuckles, and Amy were standing on, and engulfed them too.

"Oh no," Tails said. "We're in Chaos Control!" The trio had stunned looks on their faces before the white light surrounded them. Sonic and his friends had no idea what was going to happen to them, or if they'd even live to tell the tale.

Author's note: I hope you enjoyed the intro to my latest story! It will be a while before the next chapter is published, because I have plenty of other stories to finish first. Most of my writing is done in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fandom, so if you're a fan of that franchise, you can check out my other projects there. Stay tuned, everyone! :)

P.S. I know this intro may seem similar to the first episode of Sonic X, but rest assured, the story will take a completely different turn from here on. :)
