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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4cSGTTjX
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgk0aabb8l
"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.."388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvoFpCt6sa
"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."388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRTA76iSm3
The voice disappeared. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKoKtapa5k
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgAmgoaQtd
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HxjNKgHV3
*WHOOSH*388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOeE8KTDxr
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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDgx9p81uD
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVt9yEFios
(Well, that was easy..) 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGweawLLYn
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbCjF7hvAJ
"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.." 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QBWjMwuAA
"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?" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5IWmhIZKm
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpWLQO0tw
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4NlViZSz3
"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.. " 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYeIVZRyFi
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF93mtoDTd
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIfWAMhSdB
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRNiVp0rb
"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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3iLv9Tz1
"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)388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtis3fSFUU
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayodVzqlwS
Sonic joined your team! 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPQoHdxWYH
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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBiiCAefcG
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBjH4xHBdU
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U2hRLkvZd
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsmFKFml0K
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5bv9cU70v
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzzIhPQ558
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoRi5aiCmm
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyirvf9fJO
"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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rbqkb4VrQ
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjwDYRHUnE
Tails joined your team!388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnAQT6WpP5
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo31QboCm5P
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H7I3Twr8i
"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."388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9JmviZBjT
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01o78u3QOd
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnQiO58hzr
"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.. "388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj3bUVLNwl
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZeeACzng
"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) 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjROt4G7eb1
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKQZDV34N
"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!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lcUFAqLug
Knuckles joined your team! 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwC5JNrQWD
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy264QwMRe
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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMXqCfaV4J
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOu4jd64D1
"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?"388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6aspBHh45
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61jXo4J53C
Amy joined your team! 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3X4vpEkfT
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOKT9Qt6gE
"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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXdV7aYilf
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYAstYjrdd
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sb8fTv6V8
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!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEIZCFlkeA
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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHid0hGXuvP
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlSkYLIdc2
"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. "388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgY0XXcFeA
"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. "388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMtk1gLhy
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbKVKLzFbu
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd75nZUSGFN
"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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hUnXxLtjt
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkuAhVJWk
Shadow joined your team! 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhJvPdagO
Blaze joined your team! 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdy1dIchNO
"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." 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5yPJfk1x2
A while later...388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6fogeLVqJ
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IkwIpEDqE
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr1SxVPm66
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hndnxMJTe
"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. " 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL7ZBxuuZD
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bGGNyXmnl
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxN5Hjcqy7
"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.388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZEGSpyMb
"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. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc6B3rXRRA
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nYO3iaVpD
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXBoLOQcwY
"Goodnight!"
