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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWX0igN07g
"Woah... So that hand wasn't kidding... are we really here? This place looks so peaceful." 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDFLn5R10f
"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.."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYPNTAAQ7X
"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."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHWNqzvzKR
The voice disappeared. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cDYuHf7aD
"...A fast blue hedgehog.. huh. That's.. interesting. " Mario remarked.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaCMU2nqmo
"How the heck are we supposed to find a.. " 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwjbmX94C
*WHOOSH*429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTug04OhDZU
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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW7zkmU0Ie
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGNd2Xarp
(Well, that was easy..) 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Mo6BtLKG
Luigi nervously asked "You.. don't happen to be Sonic, do you? " (Sonic nodded suspiciously) 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJvwnQsdL
"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.." 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdRtfTgytT
"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?" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarwpJdks8u
Sonic burst out laughing, much to Mario's annoyance. "Eggplant! I'm gonna have a field day with this one! Hahaha!!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC85JampQrk
"What's so funny? I just asked you a question!" Sonic stopped laughing and adopted a serious look on his face. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Urc7cD3hS
"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.. " 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1yJT86YQe
Luigi cut in "It's NOT a story. This is serious business, and we need your help." (Sonic rolled his eyes)
"I'm listening.. "429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8COOizPXT
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSQtXtn5uY
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CiG5aO3vg
"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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AqH2P8Oiq
"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)429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUcCbWRLHI
"Matter of fact, I have some friends of mine who would be glad to help you. Follow me!"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwt0OEnSdG
Sonic joined your team! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FX4opYRCw
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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh29tgTOsN7
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Sonic asked the brothers, who were panting from exhaustion. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqJThvWSF
"Hah.. just.. give us a break.." Luigi was slumped over sweating profusely while Mario was catching his breath. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GVIXYG4uE
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpWadepTDn
"You're.. a lot taller than I expected.." Luigi remarked. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5U7k5WQQQ
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfJmpxK7gH
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxflR31dqgf
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zs2fePjoP
"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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIN3UupxrE
"Of course, you can come along with us! Welcome aboard!" Mario exclaimed. "You... said you're good with... technology?" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HPeUnZOVE
Tails joined your team!429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBplhaR8DWD
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOq41VTq68
"Wow... so you two must be pretty close friends, huh. (Sonic patted Tails on the head) "You guys are almost like brothers!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTal9N6U8Hk
"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."429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSuL5CpHJZ
The quartet managed to make their way to a rocky bluff, covered in rocks of all shapes and sizes. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVy0SGnzaq
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3aqGBo4q
"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.. "429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57HPYpqEC
Knuckles stopped punching the boulders and approached Luigi, who backed away nervously from the muscular echidna. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJsaMLyhNr
"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) 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbQJlUOAex
Sonic explained the situation once again to Knuckles, who was getting increasingly more and more excited with every word. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiai8iiOVBZ
"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!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet5wEt7ScX
Knuckles joined your team! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQa564VOni
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mWi4WtE1c
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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHimEi5QiC
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRujmPA9glL
"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?"429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMIiIERz7
"Well... I don't like to fight, but.. sure! I'll help you guys out!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi3RjoBZ7z
Amy joined your team! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFCQYY65A
"Who's she, Knuckles?" Mario asked.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFRT0VQZaM
"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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh9IE7rk6Z
"Oh, yeah! I saw Blaze and Shadow arguing with each other again.. they really need to stop, it's getting old." 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTP3u4amHR
"Umm... sorry to interrupt, but who are those two?" Luigi was still rather freaked out about Amy, who was surprisingly intimidating. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVpyhVHjAV
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!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1I2YpAJfi
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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXfsdADh4I
"Ugh.. who the hell are they, Sonic? They look like total pushovers." (Blaze slugged Shadow) 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aFYnkQMsU
"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. "429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9pdmrnEdf
"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. "429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqgqHIjhY
Sonic slapped Shadow on the back, who glared at him. "Aww, don't be like that, Shadow! These guys are gonna help us!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRyDudT0p
"........(Turns to everyone else) "....You're buying this?" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIlUfn4PSu
"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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUM0hHRgU
"..?! A new enemy?! WHY didn't you tell me sooner?!" (To Mario) "I'm sorry I acted so horribly to you.. please.. forgive me. " 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHCJW4ubF
Shadow joined your team! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqkx7VEl20
Blaze joined your team! 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMHpk391gq
"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." 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf323UR1eRM
A while later...429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSqsLMOOB4
Blaze started a fire, as it was beginning to get dark outside. Everyone crowded around the fire for warmth. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42IcY7riBu
"So... You are from another world? What's it like? Blaze looked intrigued by Mario's previous statement. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuOmGZRy3X
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxehcQHlpmH
"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. " 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddzgPYK7yM
"Mushrooms..? You're serious?" (Luigi nodded) "Geez.. didn't expect that." Tails joked. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRCvmUYFZl
"What kinda powers do ya have? Do ya punch through metal with your bare fists?" Knuckles laughed heartily. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vqypM8akm
"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.429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLym0nSOlx
"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. 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KiNHkLE9h
"That sounds good. We'd like that. Right Luigi? Luigi?" Mario tapped Luigi on the shoulder, but he was fast asleep. (Everyone laughed) 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjPnNv0GaQ
(Tails yawned) "Ahh.. it's getting late. We should probably rest for tomorrow.. goodnight, guys!" 429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPvingRjIw
"Goodnight!"
