Zone Cop Academy

Chapter One: Zonic's Past

Rewrite of Chapter One: Zonic

In the present, Zonic is known as an elite zone cop who has fought for the balance of the zones but also has fought alongside for justice. Yet have you ever wondered how he came out different than Sonic? Or how he got to where he is? Or about the other zone cops we never see or hear about?

Zonic is 13 and had graduated primary school like everyone else around his age. His personality is a lot like Sonic's being kind, carefree, and sort of a jokester. Like Sonic he has the power of super speed. The only difference is that Zonic doesn't have his parents with him. The last he has seen of them was when he was around 8 years old. Since then he has lived with his best friend and guardian Zails.

Before Zonic used to wake up, eat breakfast, go to school and come home. Just like another regular school day. Occasionally, on weekends or non-class days, he would play outside with school friends. Now it's nearing the end of summer and a special date is coming up soon.

Zonic was staring at that calendar for the longest time while sitting at his desk. It's been haunting him his whole summer. It made him uneasy and nervous about how close the date was. Which isn't like him at all to worry so much. Amid his worry he glanced away he noticed the picture frame on the corner of his desk. The picture of him with his parents. He smiled softly it gave him a little hope. He wanted to succeed and become a zone cop like his parents.

Zails quietly leaned against the doorway of his room. He was a little content to see him thinking about his future. Zails watched Zonic quietly then knocked softly.

"You okay in here?" He interrupted him. Zonic snapped back to normal or close to it.

"Oh! Zails" he started, "I didn't see you there." He stood up to try and block his calendar. Yet, Zails already knew what date was soon here.

"Well, I have some mail for you. I think one of them is for the No Zone Academy entrance exam. You know the academy for the best of zone cops?" He subtle hinted then set it down on his countertop
Zonic nervously smiled back. "Okay Thanks," he stuttered.

Zails chuckled softly to himself and then left the room. Deep down he wanted to give him so advice for the exam but there were other things on his mind.

Zonic closes the door and picks up the mail. Then he opened the envelope Zails was referring to while walking to his bed. He threw himself on and read the letter carefully.

"I hope I can do it" He mumbled, "I hope I pass the exam for Zails, Mom, and Dad." Press the letter against his chest. His one goal was to make them all proud. To show them what they meant to him. Not just them everyone needed to know what his family meant.

After a moment he shot up filled with enthusiasm. He sped across the room grabbing notebooks, pencils, erasers, and pencils, and plopped down at his desk.

He stretched "right! Let's do this. Let's study...," he sighed realizing the gravity of the situation. He pulled out some books and a study guide he printed offline. Zonic got to work staying diligent. Before he knew it was almost dusk. He tiredly puts down his pencil. All of a sudden he fell asleep right on top of everything. He slept so peacefully knowing he was doing his best. Study hard and continuously during the days leading up to the exam. There was no doubt he'd pass.

Yet, Zonic failed to notice that the exam has a physical portion.
