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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NJBGEr4Vb
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpN1Wk6jIE
"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.."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1j8fABM3Q
"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."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8K0pofUuA
The voice disappeared. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdjD1ddtL
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BrdsJ8HnW
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71rzIDiUiZ
*WHOOSH*185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUZzqs4TY4
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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHKIVY85t0
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeQ5PKDnEd
(Well, that was easy..) 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfRVFVAprF
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXuHz3kLMR
"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.." 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywZilbtlz6
"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?" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTpJhf2KSm
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrFvjB6QB
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpurdIkx09p
"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.. " 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVsu8rIBKr
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzm788CJ2J
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxzk7zmubT
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JjJvLYqY
"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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkIjoTKYvC
"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)185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDGApjLbQN
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cwdPGBT4
Sonic joined your team! 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXUhG59No
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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabhbnvo4NE
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxvP7kOUWK
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDSMLmarn
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng5QYnSemK
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfNs9x7Dwp
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqie26dVLc
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZZGSo4CrL
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfX4TKUR1l
"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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlaZThJkWh
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop6SFKUpDf
Tails joined your team!185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYAVMkbRF
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo8KGvAwDR
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuXMSPV7wb
"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."185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpmFpjByE
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqtpKXFhrv
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVgCvZTh4
"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.. "185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxvu52eFJn
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3uyzqRXje
"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) 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTUSZ7KRcz
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAzK6EyWy8
"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!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2nyzLIftD
Knuckles joined your team! 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuhe42AMyB
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDDn0V85ZL
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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5336AYNSkd
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIpWDRGCUO
"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?"185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hCqjySwr
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS5iXg3vbP
Amy joined your team! 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtuL4Fg9Mz
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9KHTVZ6d
"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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROZgzSe4eP
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBxjm3KAeT
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHfpHk4TtF
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!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruxt4Bcr5t
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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQZqot33pT
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW4ig76uIY
"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. "185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ5VyOTov3
"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. "185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hCcLHRy6C
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWLpDZuOSf
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMe0dBUOCF
"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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexOCAKTkfK
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKPYZ3SfWM
Shadow joined your team! 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYkasDL1Sd
Blaze joined your team! 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKbPPJJMT
"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." 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZIG0F89TI
A while later...185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjIcF1X26A
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334ZyPzZ3e
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ94bQeBcm
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ZZ3e99CR
"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. " 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuID6lCb9hI
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1qR4Pvx4B
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jfu6UR1a0
"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.185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyLxEf1QU4
"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. 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyLWYU53t1
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVIlJWmZGN
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGbLhWYh7q
"Goodnight!"
