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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAnpVu383
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgYVkJTFid
"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.."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy68NLsz03J
"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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDoInvfJh
The voice disappeared. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc3kslk4f0
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47BGDZY2J2
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhflY9ABdnJ
*WHOOSH*298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBpPKzwHx
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa02zAW4AB
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPn1zg0ww
(Well, that was easy..) 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkHzbNFG5W
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rl8zbVaJ3
"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.." 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMSnsR1qEK
"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?" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEKE7x3eq
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2slgJWuZ
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Bzu7080n
"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.. " 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMlwtcu7uK
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mjVyjKsE
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYCcyhCjfr
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajuLe3AFeG
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVhkoe2yTn
"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)298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzITrZpfkq
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHygzDxYegG
Sonic joined your team! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJxcrJuQHj
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR9uAbC35b
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVNCNAUTy
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoG6aPy3eD
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJb1xQSoz
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOBZV0Ik84
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhiikilTnl
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfkYTWP1Q4
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBnu0OpcX
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OZGFvKS2d
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQrzPUZXQs
Tails joined your team!298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEoaUzLDWL
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPTBBnnHo
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTqCR6IKO3
"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."298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB4QFTZ2qh
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7obf9NWwhZ
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7XXZAvxTI
"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.. "298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9HxwPQev
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeWiK3ZzKc
"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) 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFtxRmIIl
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAWWShuJEE
"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!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIyHHaq82i
Knuckles joined your team! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCBIo8rdGh
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VxknQeJZp
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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7FAFL1ZiA
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08wyLEw2p
"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?"298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEMQjMEbH
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69R77hWhAV
Amy joined your team! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLetROQXRO
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP3PZqnH8M
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNZzMzewHr
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkyExfH1SS
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzOEBgcrh
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!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqofLkFlds4
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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9XYXVI7jD
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF8jxzUKxr
"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. "298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfFFjekpGN
"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. "298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LIKa6RQA
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnnhx3vn1g
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oDkE9Fgmi
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OvVysYotR
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGPFNlx6X4
Shadow joined your team! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MpVdfjS3J
Blaze joined your team! 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxzM4cDkKZ
"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." 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyXKSp7Ty
A while later...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUR9y3mtb
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsxixC3Lfo
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTZcJP5Phi
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA5hXqA9nD
"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. " 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijiPAXB5lA
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENw6bt6lSk
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSXDB7pFW
"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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQpUlQSkfA
"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. 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXabX5TSMg
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oMNOv9R4W
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI0Aw4FE4H
"Goodnight!"
