MOBODOON
Part 1

Mobius, years ago, long before Robotnik came along. An evil sorcerer named Naugus was attacking a city, and leading the resistance was a blue hedgehog named Jules.
  'You will not get your hands on the Power Stone, Naugus!' said Jules with confidence.
  'We shall see, Jules,' said Naugus. 'You have one hour to bring me the Power Stone, or I will send Mobodoon into the eternal void!'
  The evil sorcerer teleported out, laughing evilly.
  Jules ran to his home, where his wife Bernie was watching over a certain baby blue hedgehog.
  'This is bad,' said Jules. 'If Naugus gets the Power Stone, he'll use its power for evil and conquer Mobius.'
  'And Mobodoon will die without its power source,' said Bernie.
  'We must place a force field around the stone, so no one can touch it, except Sonic,' said Jules eyeing at their baby.
  'What?' asked Bernie.
  'Remember what the wise one told us?'
  'He said that Sonic is gifted. When he grows up, he will have incredible skills and powers.'
  'And above all that, he can use the Power Stone's powers. This requires a big sacrifice.'
  'You mean we get Sonic away from Mobodoon? Away from us?'
  'And away from Naugus. The Green Hill Zone is just a hundred miles away from here. He'll be safe there.'
  'Then we must act now,' said another hedgehog as he marched in. He was a scientist that looked almost like Sonic, but with a moustache and bushy eyebrows.
  'Chuck,' said Jules.
  'We can take away Sonic's powers, and camouflage him to look like an average Mobian,' said Chuck. 'As an average Mobian, Naugus will never detect him. We cannot allow him to get his hands on Sonic, if he's the only one who can remove the stone once the force field is in place. His speed will remain, and when he breaks the sound barrier, his powers will return. Let's hope it doesn't happen until his adolescent years.'


Time passed, and the force field was placed around the Power Stone in the centre palace of Mobodoon.
  Now a brown hedgehog, baby Sonic was taken out of Mobodoon. Bernie took baby Sonic to a camel messenger, riding on a horse.
  'Where shall I take the baby hedgehog?' asked the camel.
  'To the Green Hill Zone village,' said Bernie. 'The population will take care of him as one of their own.'
  'I understand,' said the camel, then he took off on his horse, taking baby Sonic with him.
  'Goodbye, son,' said Bernie with a tear in her eye. The two hedgehogs returned to Mobodoon, when all of a sudden, lightning struck the place getting everyone's attention. Naugus appeared in the sky, startling everyone.
  'Citizens of Mobodoon, your time is up,' said Naugus. 'Since you have refused to relinquish the Power Stone to me, I shall send your entire kingdom into the Eternal Void! You will remain there until you have no choice but to give me the Power Stone!'
  A big portal to the void opened in the sky above Mobodoon.
  'If we're going into the Void, you're coming with us!' said a knight, wielding a small power stone empowered staff. He aimed it at Naugus, and trapped him in a green sphere. The void pulled the entire city of Mobodoon straight into it. The void closed afterwards, leaving a deserted wasteland in its place.


In the present time, Sonic was in the Station Square Zone, being chased by a giant rampaging truck, driven by Doctor Eggman.
  'If I cannot destroy you with robots, hedgehog, I shall destroy you with speed!' said Eggman. He pulled a lever, and the grill opened at the front of the truck, with five buzz saws coming out.
  'You're playing with fire, Robuttnik!' said Sonic.
  'My name is Eggman now!' shouted Eggman.
  'Alright, Egg-head! You're still a loser!'
  'You will eat those words!' Eggman pressed a button, and the buzz saws fired. Sonic dodged all of them, but the buzz saws changed direction and came back towards Sonic. The hedgehog leaped into the air and performed a spin attack, sending the buzz saws directly into the truck's path. One smashed into the roof above Eggman who was all shocked. The truck continued to chase Sonic along a freeway.
  'Now for the big finale,' said Sonic holding out a Power Ring. He powered up, and performed a U turn in the air, and impaled his way through the giant truck and destroyed it. Eggman flew out of the explosion in his Egg Mobile.
  'I hate that hedgehog!' yelled Eggman as he flew a way. 'One of these days, Sonic. One of these days, I will be rid of you forever, and Mobius will be mine again!'
  'Just keep saying that, Robuttnik,' said Sonic. His communicator went off, and he answered it. 'Sonic here.'
  'Sonic,' said the Kintobor Computer on the other end. 'I am picking up something out of the normal. It's an energy build up in the Great Unknown. I cannot tell what it is. I do know it's not connected with Eggman.'
  'No prob, Doc. I'll go and investigate.' Sonic zoomed off and journeyed to the Great Unknown, where he saw something big happening.
  The void had re-opened, and all of Mobodoon was restored, like it was before.
  'Doc,' said Sonic. 'A new zone has just appeared. I'm going to investigate.'
  'Be careful, Sonic,' said the Kintobor Computer.
  'There's something about this place that's familiar to me, like I've seen it before,' said Sonic as he stared directly at Mobodoon. 'Maybe it's because it looks like the Marble Garden Zone.'
  Sonic zoomed up to the entrance, which was a big open arch way. The hedgehog walked in, and looked around the city's buildings, and he spotted a computer terminal in a corner of a street. Sonic zoomed to it, and checked out what information appeared on the monitor. The monitor said "MOBODOON INFORMATION CENTRE". Sonic stared at the word "Mobodoon" like he had seen it before. Sonic clicked on a link that said "History of Mobodoon", and a video started playing.
  'Welcome to Mobodoon,' said Chuck the Hedgehog who appeared in the video as the announcer. 'I am Sir Charles Hedgehog and I will be your guide, around this great city...'
  All Sonic could do is stare in confusion. He was looking at a blue hedgehog with the same quills that he had, except he was older and more humble. Sonic then shook his head and came back to his senses. 'Okay, this show is over,' said Sonic. 'There's no way I'll be fooled by an older version of me again. This is a trap, and I'm leaving before it's sprung!'
  Sonic zoomed off and left Mobodoon, unaware that someone was watching from inside a nearby building. It was Jules.
  'We're back on Mobius, and our son has grown up,' said Jules.
  'Sonic has grown up?' said Bernie running up to him. 'It feels like we've only been in that hellish void for only a couple days.'
  'Sonic is blue again,' said Chuck. 'That's how Naugus found him and brought us back to Mobius.'
  'When he escaped, he trapped Mobodoon in a giant crystal,' said Jules. 'Time must have slowed down for us while trapped.'
  'And he's spent years trying to find a way to get hold of the Power Stone,' said Bernie. 'Now we're back, maybe Sonic can save us from the evil monster.'
  'We need to go after him,' said Jules.
  'I'm sure he'll be back,' said Chuck. 'But we have no idea what sort of hedgehog he has become now.'


'Thank you for helping us with the surprise party,' said Tekno, talking with Scratch in the Emerald Hill Zone village. 'We knew Sonic's birthday was coming up, and we wanted to surprise him. After all, he saved all of us from Robotnik when he ruled Mobius.'
  'Couldn't agree more,' said Scratch. 'And it's ironic that we used to work for that insane mad scientist, and now we're helping Sonic against him, or at least that clone of him.'
  'Good point. You should also thank me for another chance at life after Robotnik destroyed you when he went mad as the Zone Destroyer.'
  'Yes, and we do thank you, right Grounder?' Said Scratch, as Grounder came up to them.
  'Yeah, you're welcome,' said Grounder. 'I've got the banner done.' He held it out for Scratch and Tekno to read. They were disappointed by what it said.
  'Happy twenty-five years, Sonic?' said Scratch reading the banner. 'Grounder! Sonic is not twenty-five years old!'
  'Well, how should I know how old he is? I don't even know how old I am.'
  'Why don't I make the banner myself,' said Tekno.
  'Good idea,' said Scratch.
  Tekno nodded in agreement and walked off.
  'Hey Squash,' said Bob running up to them with a list. 'I've came up with a list of possible bands to perform at Tonic's wedding party.'
  'Birthday party,' said Scratch.
  'Yeah whatever,' said Bob. 'I couldn't write, so I had the monkey do the job for me. He said there's no way I could even get a hold of these bands. How silly is that?'
  'Let's see,' said Scratch as he looked at the list. 'What's this? The Rainbooms? Jem and the Holograms? Steven and the Stevens? The Misfits? Gazelle? Countess Coloratura? Bob, these bands and singers are all cartoon characters!'
  'You mean they're not real?' asked Bob.
  'OF COURSE THEY'RE NOT REAL!' snapped Scratch.
  'Jeez, sorry,' said Bob sarcastically. 'Maybe that mongoose lady will perform at the party instead.'
  'Or we could just play some music,' said Grounder. 'I got a couple of good CDs right here.' He took a few CDs out of his chest compartment, and Scratch had a look at them.
  'Justin Beaver?' said Scratch. 'Who'd wanna listen to HIS music?'
  'I would,' said Bob.
  'You like almost everything,' said Scratch, as he continued to look at the CDs. 'Now this is a band. Crush Forty. Good choice, Grounder. What? Marilyn Mantis? This is MY CD, Grounder! How many times have I told you not to take my stuff without permission?!'
  'I don't know, a dozen?'
  Scratch just looked mad at Grounder.
  'Guys,' shouted Tails running up to them. 'Sonic is on his way here. We must hide the...'
  Sonic zoomed right past them, causing Tails to almost fall over.
  'He didn't stop,' said Tails.


'Nicole, activate the Energy Weapons,' said Princess Sally, wearing new gloves, and standing in a big arena room.
  'Activating, Sally,' answered Nicole.
  Sally clenched her fists, and light blue energy blades appeared. 'Send in the practice Badniks,' ordered Sally.
  'As you wish, Sally,' said Nicole.
  The door opened and three Crab Meats and three Buzz Bombers entered.
  'It's show time,' said Sally with confidence. She leaped at the Badniks using her gymnastic skills, and struck a Crab Meat with her energy blades. She stabbed a Buzz Bomber's face with a blade and blew it up. She sliced another Crab Meat in half, blowing it up, and dodged the third Crab Meat's energy balls. She ran both blades into the Crab Meat, leaving only two Buzz Bombers left. They both fired at Sally, who dodged the attack. Then she leaped up at one Buzz Bomber and sliced it in half, but the other Buzz Bomber sneak attacked and shot Sally in the leg. The princess fell down, and collapsed. She looked up at the advancing Buzz Bomber. Sonic leaped into the air from the open doorway and destroyed the Buzz Bomber, and ran up to Sally.
  'Sal, you're okay?' asked Sonic as he helped Sally up.
  'I'm fine, Sonic,' said Sally.
  'You took out all these Badniks?' I thought Eggman quitted trying to capture you.'
  'Sonic!' said Sally in disgust. 'These Badniks were controlled by Nicole to help me train, and test out my new weapons.' Sally revealed her laser weapons. 'But it appears fighting six Badniks at once was too much. Thank you, Sonic.'
  'For what?' teased Sonic.
  'Oh you,' giggled Sally. 'So what brings you here?'
  'Sal, I've come across a place called Mobodoon.'
  Sally gasped, recognising the name.


'Curse that hedgehog!' said Eggman as he stormed into his office at the Egg Station in space, and marched past Grimer and Brutus.
  'Master,' said Grimer, getting Eggman's attention. 'I have some interesting...'
  'Not now, Grimer,' interrupted Eggman. 'Put all other projects aside and begin work on Project Mecha. I want her operational by the end of the week.'
  'Something else has come up, and it might be of interest to you,' continued Grimer.
  'Really? What is it?'
  'A city has mysteriously appeared in the Great Unknown, and the computers are picking up a great energy emitting from within it.'
  'Great energy?'
  'Even greater than the Chaos Emeralds,' said Brutus, as he showed Eggman an aerial view of the city on the monitor.
  'With that power, I could destroy Sonic and rule Mobius forever,' said Eggman.


'Mobodoon,' said Sally looking at an old book in her father's study at the palace. Sonic sat beside her as she talked to him. 'According to this book, it is a mystical city which appears once every twelve months. It stays in the Great Unknown for a total of fifteen days, and then it returns to its own dimension. The author of this book spent an entire year there studying... Oh my gosh!' Sally was shocked by something in the book.
  'What, Sal?' asked Sonic.
  'There's a guy in this photo, and he looks like you, Sonic.' Sally showed Sonic a photo of a hedgehog with spikes similar to Sonic's. 'This place could be where you were born?'
  'What?' said Sonic in shock. 'I'm not buying it. I grew up in the Green Hill Zone. I was brown. Doctor K's machine exploded and made me this way. This is all nothing but a coincidence.'
  'Sonic, who are your parents?'
  'How should I know? I was raised by the Green Hill folk. My friends, Johnny Lightfoot, Porker Lewis, the other Sally Acorn. I never knew my parents. But if they were alive, they would be brown and more spikier.'
  'Sonic, after all the craziness we've been through in the past, and especially after learning about the hedgehog you saw in Mobodoon and the one in this book, I am not gonna believe that you were once a normal brown hedgehog who lost his parents, and gained his blue form from a lab accident and knows the word, "Mobodoon", even when he never saw the place nor had any memories of it. The answer to the whole mystery will be in Mobodoon. You are going back there to find answers,' said Sally, before placing her left hand on Sonic's right wrist. 'And I am going with you.'
  Sonic looked at the serious expression on Sally's face, and thought to himself for a second. 'Alright, Sal. We'll go to Mobodoon, and we'll find out which of us is right.'


Sonic and Sally stood outside of the Mobodoon city. Sally was astonished by what she was looking at. The city was exactly like in the photos of the book about Mobodoon.
  'It's amazing you actually found this, Sonic,' said Sally. 'This city used to appear once a year, but something happened a long time ago, and the city stopped showing up.'
  'How long ago?'
  'I estimate it happened around the time when... when you were just a baby.'
  'Say what?'
  'If you really are from Mobodoon, you must have been abandoned on Mobius when the city disappeared. Maybe someone escorted you to the Green Hill Zone.'
  'Well like you said, the answers will be here, in Mobodoon.'
  Sonic and Sally entered the city and walked around.
  'Seems very deserted,' said Sonic. 'Something must have happened to the people.'
  'Wait, guys!' shouted a familiar face running up to Sonic and Sally. It was Chuck the Hedgehog. Sonic and Sally turned to see who it was. Sonic gasped.
  'You're the old man I saw on that information computer,' said Sonic.
  'Old man?' said Chuck. 'Well, can't argue with that. But you are Sonic alright.'
  Sonic jumped in shock as the light blue hedgehog in front of him knows his name.
  'Who are you?' asked Sally.
  'I am Sir Charles Hedgehog,' said Chuck, introducing himself formally. 'Sonic, I am your Uncle Chuck.'
  'My uncle what?'
  'Well Sonic,' said Sally. 'It seems I was right all along. You are from Mobodoon.'
  'Yeah I get it now,' said Sonic. 'It's just too much to take in one day. Well, err Uncle Chuck, this is Princess Sally Acorn.'
  Sally nodded as Sonic introduced her.
  'The daughter of King Max Acorn?' asked Chuck.
  'You know my father?'
  'Yes,' said Chuck. 'During one of the yearly visits to Mobius, I worked at the king's palace. That's how I was knighted.'
  All of a sudden, the sky started to get cloudy, and flashes of lightning occurred followed by cracks of thunder.
  'What's happening?' said Sonic.
  'He's back,' said Chuck. 'The reason Mobodoon disappeared for years. We must go!'
  The evil Naugus appeared hovering in the air above Sally and the two hedgehogs.
  'We meet at last, Sonic the Hedgehog,' said the evil sorcerer. 'I am Naugus, and you are the key to getting exactly what I want!'

This sounds pretty good so far, and I like how you use characters from different versions of Sonic the Hedgehog.  I'll look forward to reading Part 2.

It's interesting to me that Grounder thought that Sonic was twenty-five years old, because I have a Sonic project planned, and I've changed the ages of some of the characters because it fits the storyline more, and Sonic is in the mid to late twenties age range in my fanseries.  Sorry if you mind me mentioning this.

I recognise some of the cartoon character bands and singers Bob wanted to perform.  Also, if Justin Beaver sounds like who he's semi-named after, I'd listen to his music.  :)
