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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaah5pPZQA
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrftNuh0MNY
"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.."366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolsnBdTzEy
"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."366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDOKANyInq
The voice disappeared. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Rvx2GUqi
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYd3YR0BzC
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNexafyweaP
*WHOOSH*366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KAoCVuaTU
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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWbEsaVmUE
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuBDpc1uYq
(Well, that was easy..) 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tyDPgzS6a
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqAmyMMZs7
"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.." 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj9SseHaj2
"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?" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt1qKVPBgr
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK9QDqpxgR
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvnCcQGKaK
"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.. " 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGTRkBta2f
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa9eLUBnP7
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0b572sx99
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4nMpINYVZ
"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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusZb99W2lK
"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)366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr8QB1CzBf
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD2NgaO6Al
Sonic joined your team! 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL1UpKZhKO
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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKDw8Vuf1
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOssCE4kMCT
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVbZcucODO
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyyJyTWap8
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZFjnZI1K
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJDYKFQRW
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztyb3lbn4
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5QLbopME4
"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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVgdi90su1
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZoaUxBEPi
Tails joined your team!366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxunXEFgPEW
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTfdZPMR1
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqw3OG2bzx
"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."366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPbAWAqYq
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCWzctaVB
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ903MepsDs4
"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.. "366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYrCCgehS2
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfm8HpOMDz
"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) 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV1W83kpML
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CWao2H7gd
"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!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE7uzAjEQx
Knuckles joined your team! 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgWu0DURor
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TXqY77zCs
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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7IK2HuD2
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn9PPCAyFk
"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?"366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaBgE2w0Zd
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwrMZLNley
Amy joined your team! 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYeETWGWBm
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2NwQnysJ6
"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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkmdGR8n1C
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzZVBgRR2
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RS3mWludS
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!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9x3QP5DVm
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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OVCRoi3YA
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAl1Yo63cu
"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. "366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxW8dkbx85
"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. "366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC9rTPLyXy
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MYWKImYm4
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTFYEkAwHu
"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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0XEX5VeI8
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeo5uPbUxl
Shadow joined your team! 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngVwA4aNL
Blaze joined your team! 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8xCS1A5s2
"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." 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTPCY4qHF3
A while later...366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8mLlfkZb5
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVex2GHi9Sb
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJUf9cpJz
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO3ZPWnJku
"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. " 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGkn2GGIRL
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnbyPBUb89
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJNqRv5qkI
"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.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq3oDgIwUX
"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. 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ptUI4q21D
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZNJccAhWD
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIInPNBVIZ
"Goodnight!"
