Chapter Text
There was a time when Mobotropolis was a peaceful city. Children would play together, mothers would clean and cook around the house, fathers would come home to hang with their kids after a hard work day, but there's one important thing that the Mobians would live for- and that was the music that brought joy and happiness to their hearts.
But anyways that's not really the part of the story we need to worry about. This is a story of how a hero came to be with the love of his friends and family, with his super speed that he was born with and was gifted with. This hero's name was- Sonic,
Sonic the Hedgehog.
———————————
"I just can't believe this!" A male voice had said. He scratched the back of his neck as he and his brother-in-law was waiting for his brother-in-laws wife and his sister-in-law to give birth to their new born babies. His partner was a green Hedgehog, glancing at him with confused pink eyes. He was wearing a white lab coat, black boots, black gloves, and glasses. He also had dark short green hair that swept over his left eye.
"What's wrong Charles?" He asked the light blue Hedgehog, beside him. Charles was a much older Hedgehog than his partner. He had brown and slightly white bushy eyebrows and a mustache with blue eyes. He had on a belt, glasses, Brown shoes and gloves, and a light brown vest.
"It's just- I'm shocked to hear that your wife and my sister-in-law are giving birth on the same day at the same time. And to make it even more interesting is that those weird looking stars had appear... do you think it means anything, Gale?" Charles replied. He scratched his head as he looked out of the window of the waiting room. It was late at night, and as the two female hedgehogs of their family started to be in labor, these three stars had appeared in the night sky. One was blue, the other was pink, and the last one was green. Before the green Hedgehog, Gale, could reply, the doctor had came over.
"Your girls and babies are doing fine now. You may see them now." The doctor said, interrupting both inventors thoughts on the Stars. The doctor was a yellow duck, wearing a name tag that read, 'Doctor Quack'.
"Thanks doc!" Gale jumped up, excited to see his wife. Gale was known to be the childish adult of the Hedgehog family. He would joke around, and usually would be more excited than a kid who was getting a new toy. Charles chuckled at him, he then got up and leads him and Gale to the room that both females were in.
"Knock knock." Charles grins, knocking on their open door, as he and Gale appeared at the doorway. The room was big and had two hospital beds. One had a blue-purplish Female Hedgehog in it with short blonde hair with blue eyes and the other bed had a light purple female Hedgehog with dark long purple hair with blue eyes.
"Look who visited us Aleena." The blue-purple Hedgehog giggles as she held a blue bundle in her arms. The purple hedgehog, Aleena, smiles at the two males.
"Honey, come see the twins." Aleena nods at Gale. Gale has a big grin on his face as he ran over to the side of the bed. He looked down at the two bundles that his darling wife was holding on each arm. He studied their adorable faces.
"Awww they are so cute!" Gale gushed. In one of the bundles, which was pink, was a little baby dark pink Hedgehog with a little piece of light pink hair. In the other bundle, which was blue, was a green Hedgehog with a small few spiked up quills. Both babies were napping, with tiny smiles upon their faces. "What should we name them hon?" Gale asked, leaning a little to give his wife a kiss on the cheek.
"I was thinking of Sonia Kelly Hedgehog and John Henry Hedgehog." Aleena responds with a smile. Gale nods.
"I like Sonia- but can we name the boy Manic? It sounds so much better and cooler!" Gale said, giving Aleena the puppy dog eyes. Aleena giggles and nodded her head. "YES! Come here little Manic!" Gale picks his son up and cradles him. Charles smiles at the touching moment. He walked over to the other side to see his sister-in-law.
"Hey Bernadette, how are you feeling? And how is my new little Nephew here?" He asks, glad to see the three new additions to his family.
"Why don't you come see." Bernadette, the blue-purple Hedgehog stated, with a big smile. She handed the bundle to Charles, as he gladly took it, studying his new nephew. The bundle was blue and carried a bright blue Hedgehog.
"Hello there sonny boy!" Charles smiles, cradling the newborn baby in his arms. "I'm your uncle. You can call me Uncle Chuck." He held the baby carefully, and made him face the others in the room. "There's yeah mother, Bernadette." Bernadette smiles and laughs, waving, even though the baby hasn't opened his eyes yet. Charles walks over to Aleena and Gale with the twins. "Say hello to Aunt Aleena and Uncle Gale. And those two are Yeah cousins, Sonia and Manic." Gale and Aleena smiles at their new nephew. Aleena turns her head to the side to glance at her sister.
"What are you and Jules going to name him?" Bernadette sighs and shrugs at her. Bernadette turns her head to Charles with a confused look.
"I wanted to wait for Jules to name him- Where is he Charles?!" Charles turns around to Bernadette. He then thought for a moment, thinking about his brother, Jules Hedgehog, and his condition. You see, a few months ago, the Great War has just ended, Charles, Jules, and Gale had returned, but sadly, Charles's brother had really bad war injuries, the doctor had said that Jules wouldn't be around for much longer. They only had seven years with him. This had devastated the hedgehogs, mostly Charles. So, Charles and Gale, being inventors and lab partners, began to try and invent a machine that will allow someone to live forever. In the meantime, they still haven't been able to figure it out, but Jules was still alive and well so far, in fact Charles and Gale haven't left their lab at all, the birth of the young hedgehogs was the first time they had left their lab in months. Charles shook his head.
"He sh-" A knock was heard, everyone had glanced over to see yet another male Hedgehog. He had short brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a red vest with a hood, brown gloves and brown boots. He also had scars and bandages on some parts of his body. He was using a cane to move around. "Hello Jules." Charles nodded towards him. Jules walks over, with the help of his cane. Charles walked towards his brother with the bundle in his arms. "You should sit down." Jules nodded and went over to his wife, sitting at the end of the bed, taking her hand in his.
"Hello Honey, sorry that I'm late." Jules spoke, with a small smile, kissing the back of her hand. Bernadette smiles and sat up, hugging him gently. Jules leans his cane beside him and hugs her back with one arm. "Charles- may I see my son?" Charles smiles and nods, walking over, and gently giving the bundle to it's true father, making sure he had a good hold on his son. "Hello son." Jules had a big smile on his face as he and his wife looked at the newborn baby. "Welcome to Mobotropolis, your new home." Jules let's go of Bernadette and places his hand down to his son- suddenly as he was doing this, the baby's tiny tan hand had grabbed Jule's finger. Gale went over, holding his children and sitting on the other side of Jules.
"Yo! Don't forget your nephew and niece!" Gale grins, nudging his best friend lightly, in a buddy way. Jules looked over and laughed.
"Wow- they all have the same face, I wouldn't be shocked if they were confused to be triplets. So what did you name them?" Jules questions, knowing his best friend- would probably think of wacky names.
"The girl is Sonia, Aleena came up with that one. And our son is Manic! I definitely came up with that one- what do you think? Isn't it cool?!?" Jules rolled his eyes and nodded, it was his son, he wasn't going to complain by the weird names, but he did actually find it kinda cool. "Sooo What are you two going to name your son?" Jules glanced over at his wife with a nod.
"I was thinking we could name him after our fathers- how about Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog?" Bernadette smiled at those names, nodding her head at the memories.
"It's perfect!" Bernadette stated, kissing Jules on the lips. Gale shook his head.
"Are you two sure? He looks like a Hanic!" He gives a wacky grin. Bernadette and Jules laughed, shaking their heads. A knock was heard, as everyone turned their heads to see a respectful looking squirrel. He was brown with auburn hair and a mustache and blue eyes. He wore a blue military coat, a red cape, red boots, and a crown upon his head. He held in his arms a two year old chipmunk. She had crystal blue eyes, Auburn short hair with bangs in her eyes, and she wore a blue sweater, black shorts, blue boots, and a blue bow in her hair. The hedgehogs bowed their heads to the man.
"Hello your majesty." Charles, Gale, and Jules said together, with respect. The king walked in with a big smile on his face. He shook his head.
"Now, now, there's no need for formality. After all we all are close friends." The king carries the chipmunk with him as he walks over to Jules and Gale to gaze at his new subjects. "I've come to give your children a royal blessing, and I thought it would be nice for my princess to meet her new playmates, after all we can't have the four of them have a lonely childhood." The king brings the princess to a chair and sat her down. He walked back over to Gale and Jules. "If it's alright with you, may I ask what their names are and give Sally a chance to hold them?"
"Why of course Max!" Gale smiles. "The pink one is Sonia, the green one is Manic, and the blue one is Ogilvie." He hands King Max his daughter. Max nodded and brings Sonia towards his Princess, Sally.
"Sally." He caught his daughters attention. Normally the two year old wouldn't be up this late, as she yawns and nods to acknowledge her father. "Meet your new friend and loyal subject, Sonia. Would you want to hold her?" The chipmunks eyes sparkled, as she nods.
"Wes dwaddy! How?" The young princess, questions, tilting her head to the side. The king chuckled, placing the baby in his daughters arms the right way.
"Now make sure not to drop her, and also it's important to support her head." Sally nods at his words, as she held Sonia.
"Hello Sonia! I hwope we cwan bwe fwineds!" She smiles happily. The adults smiled at the touching moment. The king let's Sally hold her for another minute.
"Alright, now its time to meet Manic." Max takes Sonia and bring her back to Gale, but before he gave the baby girl back, he kisses her forehead and gives her a royal blessing. He hands Sonia back and took the baby green Hedgehog in his arms as he brings him to Sally. He placed the baby boy into her arms this time. Sally held to the baby just as happily as she did with Sonia. She looks up at her father confused.
"Why dwoes hwe have spwiky thwings on his hwead?" Max chuckles at that, ruffling her hair a little bit.
"It's his quills or hair. Everyone is different my little bean." He takes Manic out of her arms and kisses his head and gives him a royal blessing as well. He brings him back to Gale and goes to Jules to take his son. "Jules, how are your injuries doing?" The king asked, taking Ogilvie in his arms carefully. Jules gave the King a small smile.
"Well I'm definitely doing a lot better at walking around. But I know I only have seven years to live, so I intend to spend as much time with my son, before I do pass." Jules gave the king a determined nod. Max smiles sadly at his dearly friend and soldier as he nods. Charles listened as he shook his head. He wasn't going to let that happen. He glanced at Gale as they both shared a look and nodded.
"You've done well for this planet. I thank you, Sir Jules." He carries Ogilvie towards Sally. "Sally, here's the last one. Meet Ogilvie." He placed the baby in her arms. Sally gasps in shock. Everyone looked at her confused.
"He's the cutest!!!!" Sally gushed, holding Ogilvie Close. She studied his little face. "Cwan I hold him a wittle wonger?" She glanced at her father and at Jules and Bernadette. The three of them nodded their head, as the Princess smiles in excitement.
"Gale, Charles, Jules. May I talk to you three in private?" Max asked, glancing at them. The three males nodded. Gale gives Sonia to Bernadette and Manic over to Aleena. The four males left the room to discuss what they needed to discuss.
Sally continues to look down at Ogilvie. Then Aleena and Bernadette glanced at each other and began to chat, paying no attention to Sally. But as Sally looked down at Ogilvie's face, his eyes suddenly opened. She gasps, as she looked at his dark brown, almost black, eyes. Hadn't daddy told her that is takes months for a baby to first open their eyes? Suddenly as she looked into the baby's eyes, they flashed an emerald green for a split second. Sally shakes her head and quickly looks up at the two females. "Mrs Bwenadette And Aweena! Are newborns supposed two open their eyes and are there eyes suppose to fwash a different colwor?!?" The two adults looked at her with raised eyebrows and worried expressions. Bernadette carefully gets out of bed, holding Sonia close.
"Bernadette! Your not suppose to get out of bed!" Aleena warns, but Bernadette didn't listen as she walks over to the Princess a little slow. She peaks down at her newborn son- and saw that his eyes were closed. She shook her head.
"Sally, your seeing things." Sally looked up at her, shocked and upset. She looked back down at Ogilvie to see that his eyes were closed as well. Did she really imagine that?
———————————
"What was it that you wanted to talk to us about?" Gale asked, as the males sat down at the waiting room. The king leans back in his chair, drumming his fingers against the arm rest. He had his eyes closed, as he sighs. Charles and Jules sat across from the King, while Gale was beside him. The three hedgehogs shared a few worried glances at each other, then looked back at the king. Max opens his eyes.
"Have you noticed? Those three mysteriously colored stars, appearing the same day as your children- but especially they are the same color as them...?" The hedgehogs nodded their heads. "I have a feeling that it means something.... like maybe a warning...?" The king tapped his chin in thought.
"Your majesty-" Charles cleared his throat. "You might be right. If we could have your permission, we'll use the lab to study these stars and study the babies to see if there really is a connection." Max listened quietly. He nodded his head.
"Yes, Yes, you have my permission, Sir Charles. Well then men- we mustn't leave the ladies and babies on their own. Besides, I need to bring Sally home, it's way past her bed time." They all got up, going back to the room. As Max opened the door, they saw Bernadette, standing by Sally. She wasn't suppose to be up! Jules went in, with a worried expression.
"Bernie- what on Mobius are you doing?! You just gave birth, and your standing?!?" Bernadette looked up, shaking her head with an eye roll.
"Sally here, thought Ogilvie opened his eyes." She explains, as Gale came over to take Sonia. Charles glanced at Sally, and kneels down to the chair she was sitting at. Sally looks over to the older Hedgehogs eyes.
"It's true Swir Chawles! He opened wis eyes! They were brown wike Swir Jules! And they fwashed a different colwor!" She explains in her little voice, trying to get them to believe her. Max walks over and takes Ogilvie out of her arms.
"That's enough Sally. Your tired. It's time for us to go home now." He gave Ogilvie a kiss on the forehead and a blessing, before helping Bernadette back to bed and handing her the baby. Sally pouts, she definitely saw it! How come no one believed her! Suddenly Sally yawned tiredly. Maybe it definitely was in her imagination. She felt her daddy pick her up, as she rests her head on his shoulder, looking at the three babies as she was carried away. The adults all gave out their goodbyes to the king and Princess as they leave the room. But as Sally was about to fall asleep, she saw out of the corner of her sleepy eyes, that Ogilvie' eyes had opened again and stared at her with a tiny baby smile, as they flashed emerald green again. For some reason those green eyes made her feel safe... as she enters the world of slumber.
———————————
As the King and Princess had left. The males were now allowed to leave the hospital with the new additions to their family. Though, Aleena and Bernadette had to stay, just in case. Charles, Gale, and Jules were walking home. Charles was holding Ogilvie, while Gale held the twins. Jules walked along with them, with his cane, but in his free hand he held the babies birth certificates. "Well, you look at that?" Jules says, with a big grin as he studied their birth certificates. Charles and Gale looked at him confused.
"What's wrong? Did they screw something up? Did they name Manic- JOHN?!?" Gale says, pouting. Charles and Jules laughed.
"No, Ogilvie was born first, which means my son is better!" Jules gave them a big grin.
"Oh yeah? Will Manic is the oldest sibling!" Gale shot back. Jules shook his head. They had finally made it to their house. It was only two story's high, with a red door, tan walls, and enough room for the Hedgehogs. Charles shifted Ogilvie to one of his arms, and used his free hand to reach into his pocket to fish out the house keys. He unlocks the door, opening it all the way, letting Gale and Jules inside.
"Actually, it says here that Sonia was born first, which means Manic is the youngest in the family." Jules stated, going over to their living room to sit on their green couch. Gale didn't really care, as he kissed both of his children's heads, and bring them upstairs. Charles closed the door behind him, following Gale up the stairs. Luckily they were prepared and had finished decorating the babies room. Gale opens a white door with stickers on it- Yep he was the one who added the stickers. He goes over to lay Manic and Sonia in their new cribs. The babies room had three cribs with two being on the left and right and one in the center, a big rug in the center of the room, and at the end of the middle crib, was a chest with a few baby toys. The walls were a light blue, and the floor was a hard wood brown floor of little boards of wood. Charles went to the last remaining crib, and placed Ogilvie in it, tucking the baby in. He turns to Gale to see him tucking the twins in, as he shushed the overly excited man, leading both of them out of the room to let the babies sleep.
———————————
A green orb appears in the room, spinning, as it formed a green reptile anteater. He had blue eyes and looked very ancient. He also wore a big purple cloak with the hood on. He glowed a bright green as he floated towards the cribs with a wise and kind smile upon his face. "The Time has come young Hedgehogs. I see great fortune and a remarkable future ahead of you. The stars had chosen you, especially you- chosen one." He glanced at the blue Hedgehog. Of course they were only babies, so he didn't expect an answer.
"I shall grant you the power, when the time comes, you will overthrow the mad doctor and save our planet as heroes." He turns to the window and floats towards it, as his hand glowed, he moved the white curtains with one sweep of his hand, and now in the view of the window was the three colorful stars. The man waves his hand at the stars, at the window, and the stars had vanished. He puts his glowing hand in a fist and floats towards the center once again. He brings his fist in front of him and opens it, to reveal the blue, pink, and green stars that were just in the sky, but are now the size of marbles. The man uses his other hand and flicks the pink star. The star flings over towards Sonia making her rise into the air, a pink aura circled around the baby as the star floats down to her chest, where her heart is. The star was absorbed into the baby, as she gently floats back down.
"Sonia, I grant you the power of wind, to be able to spin in a rapid tornado and the power of strength." The man says. The baby pink girl, opened her eyes as they glowed a pink color and faded into blue. He then flicks the blue star, as it flings towards Ogilvie. The star causes Ogilvie to float in the air, just like Sonia, he had a blue aura around him. The star floats down to his chest and was too absorbed into him.
"Ogilvie- or shall I call you Sonic? I grant you the power of supersonic speed. You will be faster than the speed of sound. I can also sense the chaos energy inside of you." The baby was then floating back into his crib, as he opened his eyes, they were a flash of blue, then a flash of emerald green, and fades into a brown. The man closed his hand and glanced to the green Hedgehog.
"However- I cannot grant you a power, Manic. You will have to understand one day." He opens his hand again, flicking the green star towards Manic. The green baby Hedgehog, then floats into the air, just like Sonia and Ogilvie. "Manic, you might not be able to have power like your sister and cousin, but you shall have a great gift." The green star floats into Manic's chest, being absorbed. The baby opened his eyes and they flashed to a green color and faded into a pink. The man then raised both his hands, high into the air as they glowed. A pink, blue, and green orb appeared in the air.
"My final gift. Magical medallions that will be great weapons. They well help you on your journey." The pink orb floats over to Sonia and a string wraps around her neck. The orb fades and shows a medallion that was shaped as a keyboard. Then the blue orb went to Ogilvie, forming a guitar shaped medallion around his neck, and lastly the green orb went to Manic as a drum set shaped medallion. All three of the medallions glowed.
"It is now time for me too leave." The ancient man said, as he waves his glowing hand to zap all three babies, causing them to fall asleep instantly. He floats in the air, taking one long last look. "Until next time young Hedgehogs. Mobius now rests in the palm of your hands." The reptile anteater, disappears into thin air.
And so it begins.
