A few years ago, I cancelled the production of a series on YouTube that I was working on, which ran from September 11, 2016 to May 3, 2017. It was known as The Cursed Script. It was a Sonic series based in Windows Movie Maker, and its primary focus was a Sonic recolour character known as Maya Storms. In 2024, I found a final video from the series that had never been uploaded, and completed the cancelled series for anyone who cared about it.
But now, I'm redoing the story from the ground up. This fic is an attempt at reimagining The Cursed Script, with a much more fluid storyline. Join Sonic and friends in their latest mission...
Sonic and friends have been entrusted with guarding the Sacred Script, a magical artifact with the abilities to link universes. Legends say that its writing has been used to create universes themselves, serving as a portal from one world to the next. Its origins are unclear, however it has persisted since the creation of the multiverse. It was long hidden away, but after it was uncovered, it had to be hidden again. If it were destroyed, the world itself would follow suit. And what would happen to the people within it if it was?
After a misadventure from an outside source, a dangerous creature enveloped in shadows came into contact with the script, corrupting it and twisting its words. Against all the odds, Sonic and friends are tasked with purifying the script and destroying this creature of corruption, before the entire universe follows in its footsteps...
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
*****
After years of watching pirates fighting with the king's navy off the coast of Harvest Island, Jessica Red saves the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, and the two become fast friends. Little does she know, Ruben Kirk is only the first of three rookie pirates she'll meet during a whirlwind of sea-faring adventures - but when Jessica learns the corrupt King Mordred has plans to destroy her island home, can she convince them to help her save it?
("The Rookie Pirates" is Book 1 in "The Adventures of Jessica Red" trilogy.)
