A Bit Different Chapter Five: The Little Planet

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog

Summary: Sometimes, who you think you are isn’t you. Sometimes, the easiest answer isn’t always the right one. Sometimes, the truth you believe is a lie.

A/N: I’m tired. Anyways, Amy appears in this chapter! Whoo! I decided to put Sonic CD right after the first game because I can’t put it after STH 2 as then STH3&K happens and Tails isn’t present in the game when it was first released. This was inspired by @squigglydigglydoo, @spiritsonic, @monpian, and @whatisthisnonsense’s “Sonic is an alien” theory. So yeah. Enjoy.

———————

It had been three months since Sonic the Hedgehog had defeated Robotnik, saved South Island, and started exploring the world and he couldn’t be happier.

As he ran, he thought about all that he had seen. The large cities, the clear valleys, the dense jungles, everything had been incredible, and now he was going to see something not many Planet Freedomers had seen. Little Planet.

Hardly anyone had made it to the elusive planet as it only appeared above Never Lake one month out of the year before disappearing. It floated high above the ground and was impossible to reach without some kind of flying device. Luckily, Sonic had the Tornado. He’d be able to make it.

Currently though, he was just trying to find it. He’d asked around, but hardly anyone knew where Never Lake was and those who claimed to were just trying to scam him out of money. It was probably a good thing that nobody seemed to know where to find it or else someone would have turned the planet into a tourist trap by now, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t frustrating.

Sonic only had one more day to find and explore Little Planet or he’d have to wait another year for it to return and he wasn’t about to let that happen. He would find the place on foot first, then get the Tornado and fly up to explore. He just had to make before time ran out.

He knew he’d make it.

------------------

Amy Rose was an impulsive young hedgehog. At least, that's what her family said.

Her father had often told her to think things through before she went off doing whatever came to mind, but she’d never been good at that. She couldn’t help it. She just got distracted easily. It wasn’t her fault.

Eventually, her father had begged her grandmother to help her in someway and the elder had given Amy a set of tarot cards.

“These will tell you the future,” she’d been told. “So that way if you get an idea in your head you can consult the cards and find out if it’s a good idea or not.”

After she’d started using them, Amy had gotten into considerably less trouble, though she still managed to find herself in sticky situations every now and again, but it was much better than it had been.

Now, however, she was going to end up in yet another sticky situation.

The Flying Planet had arrived as it does every seven weeks near Amy’s village. A tourist group from the next town over owned a blimp that it would use to bring tourists to the island whenever it arrived. Amy had always wanted to go, but had never been allowed.

Her entire village feared the planet due to a legend that had been passed down for generations. Tens of thousands of years ago, their ancestors had lived on a different world than the one they currently resided in and ha befriended a group of strange creatures that had never been seen before. After several generations of them being allies, the creatures had betrayed them by kidnapping the hedgehogs and taking them onto a strange floating island that had transported them to Mobius. Many of them perished due to the unknown world, but somehow a handful had managed to survive and settle down in the area that would later become Amy’s home.

The Flying Planet was a bit too close to the floating island for many of the villagers to be comfortable, and even the ones who didn’t believe in the legend decided to stay away because it was dangerous to go on. If you were to remain there for too long, you would be taken away with it to wherever it went when it disappeared. Anyone who had gotten stuck on it when it left was never seen again and most thought it wasn’t worth the risk.

Not Amy though.

Amy wanted to go.She was intrigued and fascinated by the Flying Planet. An entire world that just appeared and disappeared? Yes please. She would be fine anyways. Hundreds of Mobians went on the planet every time it appeared and they were all fine so she would be too. She’d make sure not to lose track of time and get off the planet before it disappeared. She knew she would.

Just in case though, she checked her cards. When she read them she was shocked. Not only were they telling her to go, they were also saying that she would meet her soulmate on the Flying Planet. At least, that’s what she thought they were saying. The cards could be interpreted as saying that she would meet a family friend if she went, but Amy had hardly ever gotten it wrong before. Just a few times. Only half of the time. It would be fine. Besides, she had already made up her mind.

“I’ll be back soon,” Amy thought to herself as she snuck quietly out the front door. She’d left her cards in her room so her parents would think she was just somewhere in the house as she never left without them.

After she had gotten a good hundred feet out the door, Amy froze for a moment. She looked back at her house and debated whether or not she should just turn back. Then she remembered what (she thought) the cards had said and continued on. She needed to do this.

She needed to find her soulmate.

Sonic stared up in shock at the floating mass in front of him. He’d found Little Planet, but it was nothing like he had been expecting.

What he thought he’d find was a lush green planet dotted with lakes and streams. Instead, what he saw was a dull, gray, and metallic sphere with a long chain connecting it to a large rock. When Sonic saw what was carved onto the rock, his shock disappeared and was replaced with anger and annoyance.

“Robotnik,” he thought as he stared at the doctor’s faced carved onto the rock. So he was behind this. For a moment, Sonic debated what to do. He could ignore this and leave it alone. It didn’t affect him or Planet Freedom in anyway. It would be a shame that Little Planet was lost, but that was its problem. Not his. That, however, would mean that Sonic never got to see the planet or explore it and that no one else ever would. Not to mention what would happen if Robotnik got bored and decided to come down to Planet Freedom.

Before he could make up his mind, Little Planet started to shake and blur, causing the giant chain to swing, hitting a large rock formation and sent boulders flying towards Sonic. He quickly jumped onto the first rock and managed to leap onto several more. The next one however, was too big to jump around, so instead he ended up having to spindash (that’s what he decided to call it) through it, causing it to crack into smaller boulders before crashing to the ground.

Sonic stood on the very tip of the Robotnik rock, looking up at Little Planet. This really wasn’t his fight, but he couldn’t just let this happen. He had to stop it.

So he jumped off the rock and spindashed up a ramp-like ledge to launch himself at the chain. Once he made it, he began running up it towards Little Planet, determined to stop the mad doctor once again.

-------------

Doctor Robotnik grinned as he watched the robot in front of him. Project Life Data had been a success so far. Little Planet was his and Sonic had been sighted in Palmtree Panic Zone. Now all he had to do was test out his latest and greatest creation.

And he knew just how to do it.
