The brothers materialized out of the other side of the portal, into what they presumed was the planet Mobius. Luigi started to inspect the area, which was beautiful; he had to admit. Vibrant emerald-green grass, sprawling across hills and slopes of all shapes and sizes... Crystal clear skies, without a cloud in sight... It was remarkable.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXICEA8vvn
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHmrNee4u3
"Yeah, you got that right. Let's look for those.. strong people we were supposed to recruit. Mario scratched his head. "Actually.. I don't have the slightest idea what these guys are supposed to look like.."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZweHpz23Gb
"Oh, my bad! Mario, Luigi, I forgot something important! " Master Hand's voice echoed in their minds. "These guys are all natives of this Planet, and they always travel in a group. Look for a fast blue hedgehog named Sonic, he's pretty famous around here. If you ask one of the locals about him, I'm sure they'll help you. Now if you excuse me.. I have a lot of work to do."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhnreuiunl
The voice disappeared. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABdf5p4nNr
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5k4KAvdXN
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZUuhWqxD
*WHOOSH*342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXQOK2yEUN
An electric blue ball sped past them, pulling up grass and leaves in its wake. It did a U-turn and wheeled around, stopping right next to the two brothers. It uncurled, revealing itself to be an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jysC5Vjek
"Hey, what's up? Are you two feelin' alright? You look a little pale.." Sonic smirked at the sight of the shocked faces of the plumbers. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B7QoUYMD5
(Well, that was easy..) 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7awiDPbVk
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh12blR2qv6
"How.. do you know my name..? You.. aren't working for Eggman, right!?" Mario and Luigi both vigorously shook their heads 'no' which softened Sonic's expression slightly. "So.. if you aren't working for Eggman.. where are you from? You certainly don't LOOK like you're from here, that's for sure.." 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD6LYUI0FG
"I know this sounds crazy, but we aren't from this world. A giant hand told us to come here to find you. Also.. who's Eggplant?" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVp0KJnayi
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7lbHuUbk
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XWD6fDC40
"You're.. serious? Geez, I'm sorry.. I thought you were joking. " Mario glared at Sonic, who was attempting to suppress his laughter. "Seriously, though.. that story sounds unbelievable in every possible way. A giant hand? I'm honestly impressed by your story-telling skills.. " 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq9lPW62Sd
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WKGWwcfcN
"There's a horrible threat to our world, your world, and countless others that we need to stop." Mario had now managed to convince Sonic, who was pressuring the two for more details. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Ze0CRsz6
"What's this 'threat'? I need more information than that! Is it headed this way?" Mario sighed in relief once he realized he managed to grasp the hedgehog's attention. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9CLvfOLsI
"Not yet.. but he's already corrupted our world. We were sent here to recruit you to our team, as we need all the help we can get.. Crazy Hand is his name, and he looks exactly like his brother Master Hand, who rescued us." Mario explained.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB4lBWAdCn
"Sonic nodded. "I think I'm following that.. So you need help defeating Crazy Hand? Sign me up! I'm always open for some good adventure!" (Mario high-fived Luigi)342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF7M0jPrgZ
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEQEsEX5l
Sonic joined your team! 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVCGceNk6Q
Sonic took off running at a lightning-fast pace, much to the plumbers' amazement. They ran after him but couldn't keep up, prompting Sonic to turn around. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2CMNQuzsO
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifNUjQJqFm
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKxYh7sS5d
"Sorry about that! I'm pretty fast.. But you probably already noticed. I'm open to walking if you are.. Mario and Luigi gratefully nodded, and they headed off together. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDaEmzSNgD
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1rjZNg1HW
"Well I don't know what you were expecting, but.. " Sonic trailed off. "Hey, I think I see Tails over there!" Sonic pointed to a young fox who was waving at them. He had two tails that trailed behind him. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hRYNH12u
"Hiya, Sonic! Who're these guys? They look pretty cool!" Luigi blushed from the compliment, which amused Tails. He looked to be pretty young; much younger than Sonic, who appeared to be around 15. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3q0zxuNUQ
"These guys are new friends of ours. They're from another world apparently, and they need our help to stop a homicidal maniac from destroying our worlds. " Tails was rightfully alarmed by this information, which was no surprise. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicW0q60PMM
"Gosh, Sonic. I had no idea such a problem existed... Count me in! I'll help you guys with anything technology-related... If that's ok with you...?" Tails looked up hopefully at Mario, who nodded.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56U4hPqfzJ
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505YxGGmQ5
Tails joined your team!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWZudsgkHK
"Oh, my buddy Tails here is a kid genius! He's always been a massive help with all things electronic. which is to say he single-handedly created all the gadgets and gizmos that I use to fight Eggman... He's pretty cool in my book." Tails' eyes sparkled in admiration at Sonic, whom he looked up to. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFtX7BwDCS
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUPa3zv028
"I wish I had a brother..." Tails sighed. "Sonic's been the closest thing to family that I've ever had. He found me when I was very little. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for him..." Tails sniffed back tears, as he was trying to look 'cool' around his friend. "Don't worry, we completely understand. You don't have anything to worry about with us."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5yVrgtZ5
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBKy2LcfvI
"Hold on... who's that red guy? He looks strong!" Luigi pointed to a crimson echidna, who was punching boulders into dust with his spiked gloves. He seemed to be so focused on the boulders that he didn't notice them. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60c0opVkJf
"That's Knuckles. He's so strong, he can crush a boulder twice the size of his body!" Tails remarked. "I wish I was as strong as him.. "342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZAMMwECII
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwyjBSTcPf
"Hey, it's alright, I won't punch ya so don't worry." (To Sonic) "What's up, man? How've ya been? You've definitely made some.. interesting friends here.." (He motioned to Mario and Luigi) 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfaCRLdQOR
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLskywPEbld
"Aww, yeah! Now we're talking! I was looking for an opportunity to test out these bad boys" (he cracked his knuckles) "on something tougher than these boulders.. You can definitely count me in, bud!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY8XJ29QSq
Knuckles joined your team! 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2UX9KwIG
"That's great! We could use someone like you on our team, so welcome!" Knuckles gave Mario a fist-bump in appreciation, which was painful because of how strong his fists were. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm8WrA7dP0
The group continued onward, until they reached a small cave. They were then approached by a feminine pink hedgehog wearing a red dress and carrying a large hammer. She immediately ran over to Sonic and gave him a hug, much to his embarrassment.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQozyDmaq
"Oh geez.. Amy, how many times have I told you not to hug me like that? You're embarrassing me!" Amy immediately released Sonic from his hug, apologizing profusely. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZ4JIu1zE
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sonic.. it's good to see you guys all here! So, who're the new guys? They look pretty nice. "
After explaining the situation for the 4th time, Sonic was beginning to question if Deja Vu was actually a thing. "So.. Do you want to join us?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIrcRnpEx7
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG41sI1wiUu
Amy joined your team! 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheNbV1zQCe
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCnlI33ZId
"She's a tough one, despite her cute appearance.. trust me, don't ever mess with Sonic or you'll be bludgeoned by her hammer in no time.. Believe me, it's happened before." Luigi had a horrified look on his face as he imagined being slugged by the massive weapon she was lugging behind her.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7oEO4EbVe
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkzfmDIq3U
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ujdaDHZbp
Amy cut in."Oh, I can tell you about them! Blaze... She's kind of a firebrand, you know. She has quite a nasty temper if you mess with her, so don't. She can also use fire to her advantage, which means stay out of her way when she's angry to avoid being burned to a crisp. Shadow, well... He's really nice once you get to know him, but he can be kind of a jerk sometimes... Just try to stay out of his business and he'll accept you sooner or later."
"Good to know. Where are they? I think they could be good company for us... " Mario remarked.
"Last I checked, they were around here somewhere... Lessee..." (Amy spotted them) "Oh, speak of the devil! HEY! Shadow, Blaze, come over here!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTiz3Kk1n
The two stopped arguing once they heard Amy's voice, (which made sense) and they met up with the others. Shadow was a black and red hedgehog, and blaze was a Lavender cat. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7bskZFY7
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4qnrTL8tI
"Don't talk like that to them! You don't even know them!" (To Mario and Luigi) Sorry about him. He got into a bit of an argument with me.. So he's just being rude for the hell of it. I'm Blaze, nice to meet you. This is Shadow. "342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzqHvjskzH
"You don't have to introduce me! I can do it myself. Ugh.. anyway, don't get in my way, and you'll be fine. Get in my way, and I'll make sure you regret it. "342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwGnNFelnA
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHcWFZ8szL
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsX2VWNWeu
"Oh, stop it Shadow.. look. A dangerous new enemy is threatening to conquer our world and many others, plus the world these two came from. We're doing this for everyone's sake.." Amy scolded.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pLtKrMbg8
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMiMY80CNV
Shadow joined your team! 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6TujA81jR
Blaze joined your team! 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvSS0f2nJ9
"Ah, no problem! It's understandable you'd be confused about this situation.. Me and my brother here will try to stay out of your way." 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltcTs1Nl9o
A while later...342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuktvUrPM1
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuOqjma3WZ
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOqSyRg1gu
"Come to think of it, you never tell me what your world is like.. I kinda want to know, I mean, if you don't mind." Sonic was nervous, as he had never known anyone from another world than his own. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqngyBeCEP9
"Well.. my world is pretty different.. Mushrooms.. everywhere, strange blocks in the sky, and don't forget Bowser.. he's a menace to society. Trust me, once you visit my world, you'll get tired of mushrooms REAL fast. " 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmrthCQAaH
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYqe2uSgG
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby71qeblCr
"No.. we use power-ups.. they're basically like temporary abilities that we can acquire after using certain types of objects. If I touch a fire flower for example, I can shoot fireballs out of my hands.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKhn06VVy1
"That's awesome! Maybe I could teach you a thing or two about using fire.. you might need it, in the journey ahead." Said Blaze. 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSrJ3v0pQa
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYdOG372t
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdrOJeE5JO
"Goodnight!"
