Sonic: Beyond the 7 Seas

Chapter 1

Sonic

I hear Tails yell as I sit up to see a humongous wave flying over my head and all over my handsomely styled quills. I shake the water off as a girl emerges from the water with ruby red hair, a trident in her right hand and white glowing eyes with no pupils that contrast well with her black dress and tiara. Her tiara has a red gem in the middle that glows as brightly as her expression.

"Sonic, we need you." She says waving her trident to control the water below her, she uses the water to elevate herself 6 feet in the air as her bottom half melts into tentacles melding with the water. "Before it's too late." There's a long uncomfortable pause as I stare at her black eye shadow and bright red lips. She's gorgeous and her smile is captivating I feel like a spear is piercing my heart as her mouth slowly opens and she screeches a blood curdling scream causing the ground to physically shake below me. I struggle to stay on my feet but don't break eye contact as she puts a tentacle gently on my shoulder and I shiver "SONIC!!"

I wake up to Tails standing before me holding a volleyball. "Do you want to join us?" I turn my head to see Knuckles and Amy standing behind him with Amy before the net and Knuckles behind it.

"Yeah.." I say my brain trying to disconnect the dream from what's real.

"You're gonna be on my team, right?" Amy asks, I continue thinking about the girl from my dream.

"You must've been having some dream, you seemed to be mumbling something the whole time you're asleep." Knuckles goes under the net and gently punches my arm in a playful manor, it's sting wakes me up and brings me back to reality.

"It was about some girl, she was beautiful beyond belief." I say and disregard the jealous look from Amy. "She emerged from the water and asked me to help her."

"With what?" Tails asks

"I..." I shake my head and then smile "nevermind, it's unimportant. Let's just start a game." I say trying to change the subject away from weird dreams.

Tails tosses me the ball "You serve first." Him and Knuckles go behind the net and Amy gets into position beside me. I serve and it instantly flies above Knuckles who spikes it over to Tails who hits it over, Amy misses so I use my incredible speed to get it over for her it goes too fast for either of them to even see. It bounces off of Knuckles' head sending him into the ground and the ball flying into an ice cream cart and far out of sight.

"Oops, sorry Knux." I apologise,

"You're such a strong man." Amy comes over and attempts to hug my arm and I just squiggle free.

"Great, that was our only ball." Tails says lifting the deflated ball covered in melted ice cream.

"It was also the last ice cream cart." Knuckles says disappointingly crossing his arms. There's a silence before Tails' tablet starts to vibrate on a nearby picnic table he flies over to check it.

"Huh that's strange, Miles Electric says there's a tsunami heading our way." He shields his eyes from the sun as he looks at the wave closing in.

"We need to evacuate the island, come on!" Amy says running off with the people following. I rush off at high speed warning everyone to get out of the way. Everyone runs behind me as the wave closes in. Knuckles glides above me with Tails flying next to him. Everyone boards an aircraft when me, Knuckles, Amy and Tails wait outside to make sure everyone is safe.

"I'll do one more run around." I say as I flash off running through every corner of town.

"Sonic, help!" I hear someone call my name, I can't quite hear where it's coming from so I run around for what feels like an eternity, I can't find this kid who needs my help. "Help!" I hear this time more clearly, I run towards the sound but can't stop my feet in time to notice the huge wave falling over me, Under the water everything is muffled and slow, I try to run but just end up moving very slowly. The water sliding through my quills feels icky and is the only thing that makes me truly feel fear. My air begins to go down and right as I'm about to pass out I hear Tails' muffled voice before a splash and a yellow blob appears in front of me as my eyes close I feel something grab my arm.

I fall into a dreamless sleep one that makes it feel as if only seconds have passed. My eyes bolt open to see the starry sky. I roll onto my side to see Tails passed out beside me. I sit up and shake my wet quills, Tails suddenly jolts up at the feeling of water touching him.

"What happened?" He asks drearily. I stand up and see the ocean then turn around to see some rustic looking city. it takes me awhile to recollect my thoughts on what happened, I don't really know.

"A better question is, where are we?" I say helping Tails to his feet. We both stare at the city together. Suddenly I feel my stomach gurgle. "And where can we get some food? I'm starving." The two of us wander off towards the city.
