“Sonic Kingdom-
Castle in the Sky.”

A fan fiction by Musetrigger.


                           <<<Chapter 1: Hey! You want to race?>>>


A metallic crushing sound can be heard from across the rocky landscape as the blue wonder, Sonic the Hedgehog, pummels the shape out of a drone eggbot.  After the impact of Sonic’s attack, the great robotic machine bullets into the ground that would make a simple quake with ease. Sonic then leaps into the air and lands on one of the rocks that surrounds the area.

For what was thought to be ages, but maybe just a few years, Sonic the Hedgehog was always on the move when it came to defeating Dr. Robotnik, A.K.A Dr. Eggman, and after so many years of being on the winning side, it seemed like a hobby to him, but even a hero like him gets bored of the same routine. Most may think it’s crazy, but one can only take so much victory until he finally snaps and challenges someone out of his league, but for Sonic, he could NEVER find that one person that can push him to the kind of edge that he longs for. “Man! It seems like I can NEVER find that person that can push me to the kind of edge that I long for!” said the little blue beast. See?

I told you.

Still, only a few eggbots remain, and Sonic was facing RIGHT at them. The drones might not have any independent thoughts like any backstabbing Omega would, but if they did; they’d know they were screwed beyond belief. Then in the back of their database, in the very corner of the system that controlled their many actions, in the very itty bitty back of their mainframe, something out of the blue suddenly compelled them to RUN FOR THEIR LIVES!

“Hey! Where the hell are YOU going you overgrown Coca-Cola cans!?” Sonic wasted no time catching up to the, although really resembling Soda containers, Eggbots. But let’s face it, Sonic doesn’t need to waste any time at all, because he has already moved in front of the robots and in their way of a pathetic escape. Standing on another rock facing the robots eye to eye, Sonic shrugged and arrogantly grinned, “Now you guys weren’t going to just leave me hanging were you? I mean come on! You should’ve realized by now that you were going to be molded into ugly looking game consoles.” The robots just stared at each other, not knowing whether it was a nasty joke for the Playstation 3, or Sonic was losing his grip on heroic lingo. And then, one of the robots in the back couldn’t help but let out a bit of mechanical chuckle over Sonic’s lame dialogue. Soon enough, the rest of them joined in. “What the… Hey! Stop laughing you worthless pieces of trash!” Sonic yelled angrily, “That’s it!! You bots are so DEAD!”

The rock that Sonic stood on began to crumble as he was charging up for a powerful attack. “Let’s see you laugh at THIS you fiberglass ASSHOLES!!” But at that one moment that Sonic finally swore a little cloud of vulgar, a piercing light bulleted from his right side, and at the eggbots. With all the light emanating from the blast, Sonic could no longer see what happened. When the light finally subsided, Sonic froze in place at what he saw next. The rocks around the area were reduced to hot sand, the vegetation was in flames, and the robots…were no more.

“I…can’t believe it…Whoohoo!!!! Oh Baby!! I never realized I was so fast!!” And just like that, Sonic began striking heroic poses pretending that paparazzi were taking countless pictures of every part of him. “Oh yeah! Excellent!! I was so fast I never even noticed that I…” Sonic stopped posing and became limp, “…I…didn’t do that…did I?” Sonic let his legs let go and plops on his backside on the rock he stood on. “Whoa…then…if I didn’t do it…who DID?” Sonic Hops up on his feet, still on the rock, and scans the area for another life form. And what he saw did nothing but Shock him. From his right side kneeled another blue hedgehog wearing a light blue shirt, tight jeans, and a pair of running shoes, and of course, a pair of gloves. The hedgehog also had a large bag over its body and a piece of one of the robots in its other hand. Then in blind anger, “Hey you wise guy!” Sonic began screaming at the person, “Why don’t you go to the other side of the canyon and chase some GIRLS or something and leave a fellow dude to his work!” Whether Sonic was joking around or being a moron, the hedgehog heard every bit of it, and SHE was mad as hell.

The hedgehog put down the bag, revealing a beautiful figure that only a female can possess. She then exploded even louder than the blue wonder, “Who the hell are YOU calling WISE GUY!?” Sonic was shot back with humiliation that he misconstrued something so simple. The girl was even sporting a long ponytail that stretched all the way to her naturally larger waist, not to mention her naturally larger chest. “Oh! Sorry about that. It’s just that you had a bag hiding your body and I was just…” The fired up blue girl interrupted Sonic. “My Body!? You better watch what you say Blue Balls, or I’ll deck into next month! My BODY is nothing of your, or anyone else’s concern! So leave it at that while you still have September to look forward to!” Sonic flinched. He has never seen this much female angst since he was running away from that date that Amy forcefully made him promise to her, But putting all that junk aside, Sonic’s attention went to the bag, the girl’s breasts, and then back to the bag again. “So…what’s in the bag princess?” The girl’s eyes widened and looked at the bag that she was carrying, “Oh this? It’s nothing. Just a few things that I carry around with me.” Sonic lets out a cool looking humph, as if that will ever make up for the humiliation that he endured, “A few things huh?”

Sonic summersaults of the rock that he was perched on and landed a few feet from the girl, “It’s sort of funny to be just carrying your belongings everywhere you go, and in such a cruddy bag. Not the best way to see the world now is it?” Instead of being shocked in any way, Sonic was cockier and laid back this time, having his eyes closed to show he was relaxed. The hedgehog girl began showing signs of frustration, gritting her teeth and squeezing both the items in her hand. Sonic then continued angering her, “You know. If I was the suspicious type, I’d have to guess that you stole that stuff.”

“No way!!” Sparked the girl. Sonic’s eyes opened and kept on contact with the girl’s, which were crossed with anger. The two stared down at each other for several seconds, the girl being completely ambiguous on how to defend her things. Sonic saw this as a confession.

“Stealing is bad you know.” stated Sonic at the shaking girl, looking as though she was going to collapse right in front of him, “And by how you look like now, it seems you can’t take the pressure.” Suddenly, the atmosphere around the two became hot. Sonic still stood there sober, even though he did notice the change in climate.

What is all this? I didn’t predict the weather to get this hot in the afternoon. What the heck is going on? Sonic then noticed a change in the girl. Her stance was no longer shaking and irritated, but she was standing tall, as if she became a tower. The expression in her face was no longer angry, but much calmer and determined. Sonic was paused by the change in her, that he didn’t notice her put the robot part that she took into the bag. She kept her eyes on him at all times when she did. Sonic and the girl continued to stare down at each other as heat waves alter the shape of the horizon, and the vegetation around them became dryer with every passing minute. After minutes of nothing but the sound of the scorching winds, the girl finally spoke, “You wanna see what’s in this bag that badly, eh Blue Balls?” After those words, her emotionless frown became a smile.

Sonic snapped out of the long stare down. He began smiling too; trying to withhold his composure best he can, “Well? You wouldn’t mind would you?” Sonic could already feel it and so could the girl. A challenge is developing.

“Why not,” the girl replied, “I don’t see the harm in it.”
“Then let’s see it,” said the Blue wonder.
“Hold your horses,” interrupted the girl. “It’s not that easy you know.”

Sonic showed an awkward visage at the girl’s statement. Not that easy? What does that mean? How easy is it to open up a bag of crap?

“I’ll let you see what’s in this bag,” the girl said confidently, “That is…if you can beat me in a race. First one to reach the city in the horizon is the winner!”

The atmosphere became close to scorching and Sonic was too excited to care about it. To him, the girl made the biggest mistake in her life. He then remembered that the city wasn’t too far off, just 30 miles away from where they are. It’s an easy win. Sonic shrugged and shook his head a bit, “Now why did I not see this bombshell coming? I mean everyone would want to race against me.” The girl let out a small chuckle. “Oh really? Are you THAT good?” Sonic began stretching his legs in ways that an Olympic runner would stretch. “Heh! You’ll have to find that out yourself. But I’m warning you. I rarely lose to anyone.” The girl didn’t change at all in emotion. Apparently the light threat didn’t have any effect on her. Sonic noticed this, but was still stretching. The girl, with the large bag still on her shoulder, started stretching her legs too. “Is that so? Or maybe it’s not that you never lose, rather you don’t WANT to lose.” Sonic lost his frown instantly after hearing that. Humph! This girl is trying to get my goat or something? Sonic began stretching his arms soon after his legs, although running usually doesn’t involve your legs. “Tell you what,” the girl said, “For safety measures, I’m going to hold onto this bag. It’s going to be on my back at all times, but I will still race as good as without one.” The girl’s “safety measure” puzzled Sonic. Aww Come on! It’s not like she was going to set the bag down, and I run up, grab the bag, and hightail it out of sight. That wouldn’t be a race! But Sonic didn’t intervene with the girl’s outrageous decision. In fact, he could care less. “Hah! Then if you’re so sure of yourself, go ahead and carry that bag. Now how about we get this race underway?” The girl stopped stretching and so did Sonic. “Alright then! Let’s do this thing! Be ready to eat my dust Blue Balls!” The girl assumes racing stance and waits for Sonic to do the same. Sonic crouches down with his right leg up front, the other in back, and both his hands clawed to the ground. Both were facing towards the awaiting city ahead.

Looks like race time. This is going to be a synch to pull off! The Blue Wonder thought to himself looking ahead and switching to the girl a few times as she counted down.

“Okay! The famous ‘Race to Metropolis’ will now begin!” The girl began to count, “On your marks…”

This kid is just so clueless. With that huge ponytail, she’s just going to create a mess of drag. Not to mention that bag that she’s carrying. And those cloths are just interference. Oh brother…

“Get set…”

She’s just like Amy. Hah! I better take it easy so I don’t hurt her feelings. Oh man! I think I’m going to end up hating myself for this. Ha ha ha!!

“Even more set…”

Wait…what’s with the “Even more set thing”? Is she trying to make me mad?

“…Almost there…”

Get on with it already!!!

“Go!!!”

In a gust of wind, the girl literally blasts forward as if she was shot out of a cannon. And with that, the trail she leaves blinds Sonic from the heading. “Wow! Jeez!!” And like the girl, Sonic rockets towards their heading just as fast. With that cloud of sediment out of his eyes, Sonic could see a dust trail that has been kicked up by the girl’s blinding speed. Sonic kicks it up a notch and attempts to catch up to the girl. Following the dust trail, Sonic plows through every rock and bush that was unfortunate enough to be in the way. Sonic never bothered to jump and see where she was, so he would keep his feet planted on the ground and increase his speed. Soon he spots a large canyon in the distance that had the girls trail stretching all the way over it. “Man!” The hedgehog said, keeping his pace, “This chick is pretty serious. That canyon is well over 20 meters wide.” But with that said, Sonic cleared the canyon with a great jump, still following the girl’s trail. “Hah! So that’s where she is!” Once Sonic was in the air, he was able to catch a glimpse of how far she was, and she was only a little ways ahead of him. “Good! I can catch up to her in the plains coming up now.” And just like Sonic said, they were both racing on a flat stretch of land that had almost nothing sticking out of it. It’s even clear enough to land a plane, the perfect landscape to catch up to the girl. Sonic then picked up some additional velocity and slowly closed in on his opponent. He was just close enough that he could pull up beside her. What he saw was beyond amazing. The way she was running defied his logic about drag completely, Her legs were moving so fast that they were nearly invisible to the human eye. Her body was inched ahead of her that resulted in a much-needed cut in drag. And her bag and ponytail, looked to have no effect on her speed. What Sonic thought of her winning to be impossible, was already destroyed by her agility. Even her dust trail was having trouble keeping up. By the looks of it, Sonic was in trouble.
