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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXjYnl8RwK
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCRM68HLj
"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.."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8QDDgKVi
"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."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4GnnyBZDd
The voice disappeared. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZqXGN3eB
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jdhCq2LHq
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vsVhYctAP
*WHOOSH*287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i3YZ3hD24
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2QVxmX2Bp
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mBEjRxouO
(Well, that was easy..) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5grPPYPNV
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudXSMKU9S3
"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.." 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRgzKYSubd
"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?" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrSs776Xth
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuygR3qIIM
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AWAUSnGs
"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.. " 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7rwPkH7jf
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvzQuW9zzz
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnear6OPUYs
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJF3E2xkQ
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43LY9WYOE
"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)287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xe1kuGKkV
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsk4J5K7H2
Sonic joined your team! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo2j9S0Rt0
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvGs67fEmq
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWkLqFQys8
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M63XCQJlx
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm9UKedWuU
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyypV3E6P3b
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZpOdnf1Ap
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey87xdIpfi
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1vsKSR3Tk
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWAP9IDOx0
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkgHLclOd8
Tails joined your team!287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVtyiXPxQq
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GfZ32wnxB
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJQv2yOEx
"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."287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0nBI8KG1F
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7LifrtUJP
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmYhEUDOp
"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.. "287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOhYY7hF2Y
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtmemhxdBL
"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) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wxgbLo25
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3taEGjLPEv
"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!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB6MzKmCzd
Knuckles joined your team! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPyjN9sThO
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo8Zk4WBD3
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVta3A2sTl
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkKYUQYomR
"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?"287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptI097ix7d
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04tCZUeYqX
Amy joined your team! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBQ0Il1kX
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwucbYev0rK
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYxxnn7Lzb
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG11X4QXil
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV546pLWr9p
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!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Hy6mbbuy
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQYKu28TG
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66Z33GvUkn
"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. "287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcZ91SDU3F
"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. "287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2axsRXqZ5
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48qe9Mc055
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGwbeyizEs
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmcyWOmNtP
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQccEkiyy
Shadow joined your team! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroCwJ3JmwR
Blaze joined your team! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LmdG7Bobw
"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." 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPROaG33bMJ
A while later...287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnujEP4tAY
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJn8phzg9
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvt7g0Z3Mo
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKshkAPlP3
"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. " 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuedowMPm3w
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhX9G3OX90
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwuke0mYd
"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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJCMsVnsSF
"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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvfo3dJaUE
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP81dGyteF8
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK54b1nJWLp
"Goodnight!"
