//------------------------------// // Escape from Zephyr Heights // Story: Sonic Enters A New Generation // by Idiotboy24 //------------------------------// Location: Zephyr Heights Castle Hallways Outside the throne room a bright light appeared and flashed before disappearing revealing Sonic, Pipp and Queen Haven, who were a little bit dazed from what happened. After regaining their bearings the three looked around, seeing no guards anywhere in sight. They were most likely back in the throne room they had just escaped from. Queen Haven then looked at the Blue Hedgehog with anger, and walked up to him before tapping him on the shoulder, he quickly turned to face her with a grin plastered on his face. She took a deep breath before talking. “What did you do? Your suppose to be locked up, why did you ruin the celebration?” She complained still filled with anger. Sonic looked at her and Pipp before looking behind him making sure if any guards were nearby. “Listen lady, We didn’t intend to ruin your special Celebration but, if you want anyone to blame give it to your dog.” Sonic lectured while grinning. Pipp was left in shock before marching up to Sonic, grabbing him with her hooves and staring him dead in the eyes full of anger. “You rodent, you’ve ruined everything now everypony knows we can’t fly!” Sonic started chuckling. “Well it’s not my fault you are terrible at lying, and secondly I could of left you both back there, but I didn’t cause you know why?” He questioned, causing both of them to look on with curious stares. Sighing Sonic looked at them both. “It’s because I believe in second chances, and You can be redeemed if you play your cards right!” Sonic explained. The moment was interrupted when the doors busted open revealing some of the guards who looked at the group. “Get them!” A guard blurted causing the others to charge. The three escapees began running for their lives, hoping to get away. Queen haven wanted to command them but knew it was futile, she quickly looked at Sonic and Pipp before filling herself with determination. “Although I don’t know you, I trust that you get my daughter to safety!” Pipp was shocked while Sonic was pleased that she was already turning over a new leaf. Sonic grabbed Pipp’s forehoof and was ready to continue running before he was stopped. “One last thing before you go… who are you?” Haven asked while still running. Sonic smirked at her. “Im Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!” He stated before running of with Pipp who yelped, Haven turned around and focused back on the guards who were getting closer, she had buy them time to escape, withtout hesitation she ran forward toward them. ‘Sonic, what an interesting name.’ She thought before finally colliding with the guards. Sonic was running while holding Pipp’s hoof tightly to ensure she didn’t get left behind, Pipp didn’t know what to say about the Blue Hedgehog, she still was angry with him for what had happened earlier, but she didn’t say anything about it at that moment. “Well, well, well, its starting to look like the rush hour!” Sonic chuckled with excitement, Pipp looked behind her to see guards following them with stern looks. “They’re on our tail!” Pipp yelled with worry, she looked at Sonic who seemed to be enjoying the chase, making her more confused and frustrated with the Hedgehog. They then saw guards in front of them moving at a fast pace. Pipp looked at Sonic with a terrified look, “Why aren’t you slowing down!” She cried with fear evident in her voice, Sonic looked back at her with the same smirk he’s been holding throughout the chase. “Because what’s a good chase without excitement!” He exclaimed. Before Pipp knew it she was thrown up into the air, she began screaming at the top of her lungs, this caused all the guards to stop and watch with terror. But Sonic quickly hopped over them and managed to catch Pipp before she landed, he began holding her bridal style moving quickly through the halls of the castle. He managed to keep his distance from the guards while holding the shaken up Pipp in his arms. After a while they managed to get outside, but the guards were still hot on their trail, but were a good amount of distance away doing whatever they could to catch them both, Sonic ran along the path toward the elevator he gave Pipp a look of reassurance which made her smile a little bit. Sonic looked back the elevator only to see some guards blocking it, causing him to stop he realised that they needed another escape option. “What can we do now they’ve blocked our exit!” Pipp blurted out, causing Sonic to assess their surroundings. He then saw a tall building in the distance that was behind the elevator, which gave him an idea. He adjusted his grip on Pipp. “Listen I got an idea, but your gonna have to trust me okay!” Sonic explained causing Pipp to look at him in bewilderment. “Why should I trust you?” Pipp scoffed, causing Sonic to groan. “You got a better idea?” Pipp looked around once more before realising she had no choice. “No.” Sonic smirked and began readying himself for his plan. “You ready?” Pipp slowly nodded reluctantly, Sonic was ready to go for it. “Here we… GO!!!” He yelled before finally blasting forward at high speeds, Pipp was too stunned to say anything. Sonic firmly placed his feet on the ground and jumped above the guards onto the elevator, to which he then jumped from and went flying off the mountain. Pipp was screaming the whole way as she never fallen from such a height before, Sonic filled with determination landed onto the building before running down it at high speed leaving a blue trail behind, Pipp had stopped screaming and just watched in awe of how fast they were moving. Sonic then slowed down, to which he jumped from the wall of the building to another building that was in front of him, he began repeating his wall jumps until he landed firmly on the ground. (End song) Location: Zephyr Heights He put the very shaken Pipp down on the ground and began checking If they were safe, Pipp only looked forward unable to move from her position still dazed from what she had just experienced. After a few more seconds of checking the area, Sonic looked back at Pipp with small smile glad that they made it out, Pipp finally snapped out of her frozen position and turned toward the hedgehog. “What was that!” She complained with a hint of anger, Sonic started laughing catching Pipp off guard. “Why are you laughing about this, that wasn’t very funny!” She yelled. Sonic stopped laughing and looked at her. “Listen, Princess I’ve done things like that before. Heck I’ve dealt with things crazier than this.” He explained, making Pipp even more confused and frustrated. Sonic then remembered the others and began jogging down the alleys of the city streets, with Pipp following him. She was very annoyed with the hedgehog but kept her cool for the moment being. Right now she needed to find her sister and give her a piece of her mind, they jogged for a few minutes before hearing what sounded like voices, they turned the corner to see Sunny, Izzy, Zipp and Hitch. Pipp was only looking at Zipp with anger, while Sonic focused on everyone else. “Oh no, no, no, no. It’s not here!” Sunny cried with worry. “Seriously!” Zipp mumbled, Izzy then perked up realising they were missing someone. “Wait. Where’s Sonic?!” She asked. “Right here!” Sonic stated coming out of the shadows, startling the group as they turned to see the Blue Hedgehog approach them. “Where did you go?” Sunny asked, to which Sonic grinned. “Well to get this.” He grabbed the Pegasus crystal from his quills surprising everyone. “Nice storage space you got there.” Zipp complimented. Pipp finally stepped out, “Somepony needs to explain why that thing was so important that you had to ruin my whole show over it!” Pipp cried while pointing at the crystal. “Trust me, it was worth it.” Zipp said amused while walking up to her sister, Pipp snapped back at her. “You left me hanging there in the spotlight, now everypony knows we can’t fly. And I had to be saved by him.” She pointed at Sonic who was beyond annoyed at her treatment toward him. Hitch who had been silent moved toward Sonic. “What is your main goal here?!” He asked with annoyance, to which Sonic smiled in amusement. “To make the most of any adventure.” He chuckled. All of a sudden the giant TV screen in the on the building outside the alley turned on. “This just in, the Blue Creature that was captured earlier has broken out and took the Queen Haven and Princess Pipp!” The Pegasus exclaimed, while showing footage of Sonic, Pipp and Haven disappearing in a bright light. “How did you do that?” Zipp asked Sonic with curiosity filling her head. Sonic shrugged in response as he couldn’t put his finger on it, then All of a sudden Pipp’s phone buzzed. She quickly got it out seeing a sight she never wanted to see. “A warrant is out for the arrest of the princesses.” It then switched to a clip of Queen Haven. “Pipp! Zipp! Save yourselves!” Pipp started to freak out. “What! This isn’t happening. This is so not happenin-” she was cut off by her sister. “Pipp forget all of that. We think we can bring back magic but we need that crystal.” Zipp explained. Pipp stared in disgust. “Have you lost your mind, we can’t trust them.” She pointed toward everyone else, Sonic having enough of her attitude stepped towards her. “Will you just shut it for once! Look we’re sorry your performance got ruined! But that’s not an excuse to think bad of your sister or us! Plus I saved you from being arrested so what’s your excuse for not trusting us!” Sonic snapped, catching everyone of guard and making Pipp shrink down with tears threatening to leave her eyes. Sonic’s face went from one of anger to one of remorse he didn’t mean to be so angry at her, he looked away from her and aimed his eyes toward the ground. “Sorry about that.” He followed up his apology with one last question. “Is there a way out of here?” Pipp who was staring at the hedgehog with fear quickly composed herself enough to anwser. “Y-yeah I know a way out, come on.” She answered before running off. The rest of the group ran after her, while Hitch continued to stay where he has been the entire time. “What. Wait. You can’t just. But I’m the sheriff!” He whined. Sonic looked at him before grabbing his hoof and dragging him along. “Sorry Donut Lord, but you ain’t sheriff in these parts.” He said with an accent. Together they all ran to escape from the city, and began moving towards Bridlewood. Sonic had one last thought that came to his mind. ‘What was that teleportation that happened earlier, it couldn’t have been chaos control because I don’t have any of the chaos emeralds… oh well I worry about it later.’ He finished his thought before focusing on the path ahead.
