Work Text:
It was a nice sunny day out on the shores of some unnamed place on mobius, not a (well, I wouldn't say "cloud") danger in the sky. Walking on these shores was a blue hedgehog, almost identical to Sonic, only with additional bangs & clothes. He wore a black T-shirt with the symbol of a skull on it, a grey jacket overtop it, an olive green scarf, and a black cape with a red underside. His pants were a dull blue, and torn and he wore the same kind of shoes Sonic does. His bangs were a brown color, framing the sides of his face, and his eyes were a stunning emerald green.
Some might say this was Sonic in disguise or maybe undercover. But what they don't know, is that this young man (who happens to be 14 years of age) is a relative. That's right, his son.
Now, before you complain about who Sonic happened to marry in the story, let me explain. This is another reality. There are plenty of possible realities. A good example is: So your friend is thinking whether they should whoopee-cushion you. In one reality, they decide to, while in another, they think its not so bright an idea, and do not do it. Now in one alternative reality, Sonic might marry Sally Acorn, while in another, he might marry Amy Rose. Now do you see? So the reality I am writing about, is the one where he marries a blasted fan character, who's name so happens to be the cursed- as you might refer to her as- Ally the hedgehog.
Now back to the story...
This Hedgehog, a possible/not possible future child of Sonic's, goes by the name of Dave H. Hedgehog (his middle name not mentioned for several reasons, you will find out what it is, & why he hates it, later). Dave was walking on the beach, thinking back to some recent memories.
He remembered coming face to face with Shadow one time, in which his house ended up in flames, moving to a new place near his friend, Cookie, a cat princess who'd run away from Chun-nan to live on her own. Then the most recent of memories...
Meeting a sea creature in the middle of the night with his first & best friends, BZAP & Chavi, The children of Charmy the bee, and Kavi the Fairy/Fox, Then his house flooded along with his whole city, saving his dog Muttski, then being saved himself by his father. They had to live on gummy worms until the flood drained away. Afterwards, they had run into an old friend of his parents, a Jellyfish named Peremi, who happened to be the mother of the creature Dave had seen that one night with his friends.
Dave soon found a rock to rest on and sat down, watching the waves crash on the shore and slide back again & again continuosly. He was deeply afraid of water, just like his father was, and couldn't swim in it. His friend Cookie spotted him,
"There you are!" She said to him as she climbed up the rock to sit next to him, "So what's new Dave? Why are you out on the beach?"
"Ah, nothing much, just thinking about stuff!" He replied in a voice similar to his father's.
"Like what?" Cookie asked, curious to know what was on his mind.
Dave reexplained what he had on his mind.
"Oh, that's... interesting..." Cookie said after hearing his thoughts spoken aloud, "Do you think maybe it has to do with the screaming 8ft wave that hit 2 weeks ago?"
"You heard that scream?!" Dave asked in shock, Cookie nodded.
"Yes, first it was singing, very pretty singing, then broke out into some ear-piercing scream, and that wave came and everything!"
"Hey Cookie, where were you at that time?" Dave asked, taking out a ring and tossing it into the air over & over.
"Just about to head into the beach, on that hill." Cookie pointed out the large lump of a hill.
"Heh, its a good thing you weren't down there like I was!" He laid down, putting the ring back in his pocket and resting his head on his arms
"Well who goes to the beach in the middle of winter?" Cookie asked playfully.
"Well you seemed to be going there when I was!" The two laughed, both of them knew very well it was February.
"Hey, Dave, remember your fangirls chasing you on Valentine's day?"
"Oh Jeez don't remind me!" Dave sighed rolling his eyes, "Why'd you join them?"
"Because it was HILARIOUS!!"
Cookie had another outburst of laughter, tears streamed from her eyes as she rolled on the huge rock. Her tail was fluffed from laughing so hard and her ears were in a backwards position. Dave already knew her secret, though, she had a crush on him, but she could hide it easily like the cat she was. Dave, like his father, had speed & the ability to spindash, but from his mother, he had telekinesis & telepathy, which he never liked to use unless he really felt he had to. Sometimes he would overhear thoughts just by accident, but that was rare and didn't happen so often. Cookie looked up at the sky, and sighed, her laughter had died down finally, and she was lying down in the same position Dave was.
Cookie saw something from the corner of her eye and glanced around at her surroundings. She looked to her left, two figures walking away from the rock. She shook a snoring, half-asleep Dave awake.
"WHA-?" Cookie silenced him with her tail,
"Shh, look!"
Dave looked at the two and recognized Dingo the hedgearoofly (hedgehog/Kangaroo/Butterfly) and Ember the cat.
Like Dave, Dingo was the son of a mobian-Lunarien chosen one, and his eyes were not the color of his clan's power aura. His father and mother were Otto the hedgehog, and Beautiful the Butterfly. Dingo was an orange-furred hedgehog with black eye color and messy brown bangs. He had black fur on his ears and quills. He also hada pair of fiery butterfly wings, and a long kangaroo tail. He was bare foot, shirtless, and wore only pants of a light brown color.
Ember had some VERY light blue fur, she had yellow eyes, and her blue hair was up in a hairband. She had a red gemstone on her forehead, and wore a two piece outfit simalar to blaze's, and high heel boots the same color of her father's boots.
The two walked together, holding hands. Dave snickered, it was too obvious that they liked each other. Cookie gave him a small swip of her hand to shut him up.
Cookie's ears pricked up as she saw them sit on a much lower rock, trying to hear them to the best of her ability. Chao filled the sky, hovering and playing around in the bubbles that came from out of nowhere.
"Dingo, they're awesome!" Ember said, her yellow cat eyes glimmering, "I just want to hug them all!"
"You could take one home if you wanted to, no rule that says you can't."
"Yes, that's true, but I think they're happier and more free here. Besides, they love the beach, people to play with, the water, the tiny animals..." Ember counted her fingers, then stopped and held her hands together, "I've never seen so many!"
"Yeah..." Dingo added, still a little embarassed for even suggesting to take one home.
"Dingo..."
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Promise never to speak of this to anyone?"
"Promise." Dingo replied
Ember rested her arm on his shoulder and leaned her head against his, her tail swaying nervously. They both sighed in unison.
Dave couldn't hold it in any further, he laughed so loud and hard her tumbled off the rock, Cookie hid in the sand as best as she could.
Ember's ears twitched themselves into that backwards position, her tail fluffed up 6 times it's own size in anger.
she walked over to the rock, and around to the other side,
"DAVE!!!!" she screamed, her hands lit on fire. Dave couldn't stop himself from laughing his butt off. "Why? Dave? WHY?! Why were you spying you stupid excuse of a hedgehog?! I was looking forward to some peace and quiet with Dingo, but now you blew it!" Cookie snook off, "I'm going to tell your parents what you did to screw things up, then we'll see who'll be laughing you jerk! I can't believe YOU, Sonic's son, out of ALL PEOPLE would do this, you should know better than to eavesdrop and gossip! If my dad were here-!"
"WOAH CHILL OUT EMBER!" Dave yelled,
"This ember's not chilling out, it's burning!!"
"It wasn't my fault, I was asleep! Then-!"
"LIES!!" Ember hissed, trying to interrupt him,
"Then Cookie," Dave rushed over to Cookie, grabbed her and sped back over, "saw you and woke me up!"
Ember glared at Cookie,
"Cookie!! Why!?!!"
"I was just curious, I had no idea it was so special an event!"
"'Special an eve'- that's it you've gone too far! I-"
Dingo popped up from the other side of the rock,
"You guys your arguing is makng the chao cry!"
"Yeah, Ember, you're really giving them a scare, you're the only one yelling." Dave pointed out.
"What?! No I..." she fell silent, looking quite guilty. "You know what? I'm just going to leave..."
"But-!" Dingo was interrupted.
"No, Dingo... just no... never again..."
"Ember..." He said in a whisper as she walked away. He turned to face Dave and Cookie,
"What did you think you were doing you crazy idiots!! That was my only chance to get closer to her and you blew it!" he stomped his foot on the sand, blushing in embarassment, "What am I going to do now, she's not gonna talk to me for a month, possibly a year!" he collapsed on the sand, frustrated.
"Sorry Dingo, we really had no idea!" Dave replied, scratching a quill and blinking.
"Its okay, I'll just have crabs eat me for dinner." Dingo muttered as he lay in the sand.
Cookie looked around, then noticed something with the water,
"Guys, look, the water!" Both male hedgehogs turned their heads, "It's bubbling!"
The chao flew away back into their gardens as the bubbling got louder and larger.
"CRIKEY IT'S GETTING BIGGER!" Dingo yelled, getting up to his feet.
The three mobians backed away as something emerged out of the water.
It was clear now, a really odd-looking green octopus/squid mobian with green hair with a black two piece outfit, w/ eyeshadow and a heart sticker on her cheek. Wearing several magic rings, one as a hairband, one as a crown, and two as a pair of ear-rings. She had four octopus/squid arms, and four legs, and wasn't very pretty a sight.
in one of her arms was another creature. Dave winced, it was the creature he'd seen that one night.
It was clear now, she was a Jellyfish, a light orange one. she had pitch black eyes, so dark her pupils weren't visable. She obviously had no feet, and she had a darker orange hair color. She also had orange spots on her face, 12 if you counted them. her hair was styled in a ponytail that had tentacles like her bottom half, and she looked around their age. She was stuggling to get out of the woman's sticky arm.
Dingo observed what was going on and took a silly guess,
"Catfight?" Dave shrugged and gave him an "I don't know" face. Cookie was reaching for her pocket, about to grab something from inside.
Dave walked two steps forward, while Dingo took two steps back,
"Ma'am, If you don't mind we'd like to know what's going on?"
"Why should I tell a ridiculous land-man like you?" The woman snapped.
"Well, we're just curious! Its sort of akward having sea mobians climbing out onto land."
"Well I won't tell you, fool, you wouldn't understand!" The Jellyfish instead answered,
"She's here to do evil and hurt others to get what she-!" The woman interrupted.
"Hmph, don't be ridiculous, little girl! That's childstalk!"
"Childstalk or not it sounds believable, mate!" Dingo growled.
"Agreed!" Cookie joined in.
"You'll seriously believe the make-believe excuse of a girl?"
"Yes, the way she acts towards you, the way you're holding her, and the snobby way you act towards us says it all!" Cookie pointed out.
"Ridiculous! Nonsense! Blast it all its not true!" The woman yelled
"It is and you know it!" Dave said with a smirk.
"Why- you- GRA!" she pulled out a battle axe and flew towards Dave, he dodged faster than the speed of sound. The Jellyfish crawled back into the sea without anyone taking notice of her.
They battled for what seemed like an hour, the woman got fed up with this and realized something, she tripped Dave and grabbed him, he let out a small yell.
"You may be fast on your feet, but are you fast on a fin?" She grinned.
Cookie and Dingo gasped as she took out a gemstone of some sort.
Cookie took out her dagger, a blade passed down her family for generations, she charged towards the octo-squid,
"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" she hissed. The woman snatched the blade and threw it near Dingo, (who dodged it) and grabbed her, "AH!"
"YOU, FELINE, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Dingo took out his boomerang and threw it at her, she flung it out with a third arm, it hit Dingo and dropped to the sand.
"Get assistance Dingo, get Ember!"
"On it mate!" He ran the direction she left, only to be grabbed by the madwoman instead, "CRIKEY! She got me!!"
The woman smiled, "you're all defenseless, I'm pleased... Now, witness as I turn you to FISH!!" with her remaining arm, she held the gem up to her face, it started glowing, Dingo shut his eyes in panic,
"EMB-!" His cry for help was interrupted as the arm that grabbed him slapped against his face.
"They're not here to help you my dear!" The woman said to him.
"Oh yeah...?"
The woman suddenly felt her behind was on fire and jumped into the water,
"YEOW!" she screeched then sighed in relief Ember stood in front of her, hands on fire. She winked at them, but Dingo knew that was mostly directed towards him. Dingo glared as Dave whistled in amusement.
"Let my friends go, or else!!"
"Or else what? you're all fire and no wave, theres no possible way you can swim althe way here and beat me!" She stuck her tounge out.
"What? who says I can't swim?!"
"I do!"
"Well I can!"
Dingo of course tried to tell her otherwise, but couldn't. Ember dove into the water and swam best she could towards them and reached them. The woman glared,
"Attack me and I'll drop them!"
Ember stood frozen, eyes wide in defeat. She tried to think of something else she could do, but failed. The octo-squid woman grabbed her,
"AAH!"
And again, Dingo tried saying something, and failed.
The octo-squid broke the gem, and smoke came out of it, the four mobians fell asleep, and she dropped them.
"Sweet dreams, fools..."
~~~
Dave woke up a couple hours after the attack and was shocked to see that he was still alive, and breathing in water. Cookie was in front of him,
"Dave, can you hear me?"
"Yeah, a little bubbly though. Are Dingo and Ember alright?"
"We're right here, mate!" Answered Dingo.
"Heh sorry, kind of hard to see underwater!"
"Eh, I can see just fine here!" Dingo replied.
"Why can't I get up?!" Ember said in frustration.
"Try swimming up." Cookie said
The four swam up, but they saw the unexpected!
The four screamed in panic, for what had just happened to them, gave them a super shock. They, had, tailfins, though Dingo, was screaming about his wings, which were burnt out.
"What happened?!" Dave yelled
"We have..." Cookie fell silent, Ember finished her answer,
"T-Tailfins!"
"MY WINGS BURNED OUT!!" Dingo shrieked
Everyone made an akward embarassed glance at Dingo, who wasn't complaining abouy the tailfins.
"Well now what do we do?" Dave asked, "Sit here and cry like babies, or get that mad woman to turn us back?!"
"Anything that doesn't have to do with living in water..." Ember muttered.
"Well the best option for that would be the second one." Cookie decided.
"We need to find somewhere safe first!" Dingo pointed out, "Otherwise we won't have a place to fall back to incase things go wrong!"
"Great idea bud! Well, lets find it, then we can make sushi out of her!"
The four swam off, though Dave and Dingo were having trouble keeping up, for they were no good at swimming
"Are we there yet?!" Ember yelled.
"Afraid not, Dave's still lagging behind." Dingo answered.
"At this rate we'll never get back home!" Cookie sighed. Dingo, who'd finally gotten used to his tailfin, swam over to Dave and carried him over.
"Heh, he's weightless!" Dingo smirked, Dave glared, he did not enjoy being slow, did not enjoy having a tailfin, did not enjoy being in water, and really did not enjoy being carried around like a piece of luggage. "Hey, I was only teasing!"
They soon came to an old shipwreck ruins, with- not one- but over a thousand shipwrecked ships.
"Look at all those ships..." Cookie gasped, amazed at how many fell apart in the same area.
"Unbelievable!" Ember commented.
There were boats of many shapes and sizes, old and new, with seaweed tangled in them. few sea mobians roamed around here, and the area was a little greenish.
"Lets check it out!" Dave said, maybe this could be it!" He swam out of Dingo's arms
"I-I don't know Dave, this place looks a bit..."
"Pfft! What, shark infested? All oceans are shark infested! Have you been watching cartoons again?!" Dave laughed,
"N-NO!" Dingo yelled, "D-Don't be ridiculous!!"
"Then follow me!" Dave commanded.
"No." Dingo Disobeyed
"Dingo are you being cowardly again?!" Ember asked, crossing her arms.
"What? NO! I just don't think this is a good idea that's all!"
"Oh, well, stay here while we check it out, then." Ember swam off with Cookie and Dave. Cookie made a glance at Dingo and caught up with the others.
"Okay you two check out this side of the area, while I check out that side." Dave explained, Ember and Cookie did not agree with this
"I can go solo, Dave, I don't need help!" Cookie replied
"Same here!" Ember hissed, hands on her hips.
"Fine, but one of you will be coming with me!" Dave sighed, "We can't completely split into three one-person groups."
"Then I'll come with you Dave." Ember decided.
Dingo, overhearing a little, snorted. They don't need me, he thought ignorantly, they'll be fine being slaughtered out there.
Dave and Ember swam inside one ship, a really old, smelly one.
"Can we check out a different ship, please?" Ember asked annoyed.
"No way, this ship smells!"
"That's what I'm talking about, Dave, it smells so can we PLEASE get out?"
"Nope! This place could be great to hide in, the smell drives away predators!"
"It may, but the predators could know about what kinds of places creatures hide in so it may not!"
"Pfft, Nah, that's nonsense!"
"Oh you'll see!" Ember hissed.
"Really? When?"
"Right... Now!" The two waited, nothing, Dave laughed,
"Oh yeah, like any shark is gonna come at a cat's command! Oh I can see it now, 'Hello, oh glorious shark, can you eat Dave for me?' 'Oh yes ma'am Oh Ember, Queen of the sea!'" Dave twirled around like a ballerina
"Not funny, Dave!" Ember yelled, Dave continued to spin gracefully until he ungracefully bumped into the wall of the ship. Ember snickered.
"Hey Ember do you smell that?"
"Yeah, it's coming from the door next to you!"
"I'll go check it out, then, it smells like barbeque sauce!"
Dave swam through the door, Ember close behind, right in front of them was a broken wall, a skeleton covered and tangled in seaweed. The seaweed, skeleton, and floor under it was blood stained. Dave flinched,
"Woah. the smell of that blood is pretty strong!"
"Stronger than the smell in the first room!" Ember said
"Yeah, and that smelled like a thousand garbage dumps!" Dave commented,
"But... wait, if there's blood here, and the smell of that room is weaker..."
"Then maybe we should go stick with the first room!"
"No stupid, we should get the heck out of here!"
"Well all we have to do is go in the first room, no sharks will go in there!"
"They will!" Ember hissed in his face,
"Okay Okay you win, we'll find another-" A shark crashed through the walls,
"Oh S■■t!"
Both mobians swam into the other room as fast as they could as the shark tried to take a bite out of them! The shark charged through the door, smashing it into bits. Dave hid under an upsidedown couch, Ember tried using her powers, but they were burnt out the second they lit.
"D■■n it!"
The shark chased Ember around the room in circles, while Dave cowered under the couch.
"DAVE, do something!"
"Why? I can't spindash underwater!"
"Well do SOMETHING! Get it away from me!"
"Alright." Dave stuck his tailfin out from under the couch
"Dave you nut! Not that kind of-" the shark swam towards Dave's tail at an incredible speed, "DAVE!!" Dave moved his tail, causing the shark to crash into part of the couch and the floor. The shark lifted his head up and shook it as the couch fell thorugh the hole in the floor he'd just made. He turned his head to the right and spotted Dave,
"AH!" Dave swam fast as he could away from the shark, but it bit him by the tailfin and... swallowed him whole?
"D-Dave! No!" While Ember was distracted the shark bit her cat tail, but the strange thing was, he only bit hard enough to make it bleed, Ember turned aroung and screamed for help.
Dingo heard the screamed and woke up in shock, he raced towards the smelly ship as fast as he could. When he arrived, Ember was not in sight, only the shark. He sunk to the floor, wide-eyed, lost and confused,
"I was too late, its all my fault..." He chanted to himself over & over silently.
The shark swam without a sound, towards Dingo, behind him, and swallowed him whole?
~~~
Dave woke up again to find he was still in the ruins, but... inside a ship, with mobian sharks surrounding him. They were dressed like pirates, and were holding their swords and making evil grins at him. Dave took a quick glance down at himself, he was tied in a rope. He knew at thi point that he had been kid-napped. Realizing Ember, Cookie, & Dingo weren't in sight he looked aroung at the shark people and asked,
"Where are my friends?" The sharks laughed, Dave growled,
"What?" Said a female shark, pretending she didn't hear.
"Where are My FRIENDS!!" Dave repeated, two sharks came in and set his friends down next to him. They laughed as they left the room. Their leader, sitting across from Dave & his friends, got up on the table.
"YO!!! SAY HI TO THE KING, SCAREDY FISH!!" He grinned, showing his many teeth.
"Hiiii..." They all said, not being very kind to their new kid-napper.
"Who are you?!" Cookie hissed, demanding to know, her fur was fluffed.
"Peh! Land mobians, just too dumb to know any better!" The shark leader said in response, "We're the Pirates in charge of these ruins! We're the Dark Wreckers! And you're just in time for dinner, land crawlers!"
"Dinner!?" All three of Dave's friends yelled in Shock.
"Couldn't you have invited us to dessert?" Dave asked, joking around.
"Dave..." All three friends said back.
"One more for the main course, captain!" One pirate said as he came through the door. Right at the door was a non-mobian shark, that threw up right in front of everyone. What came out was |sister's writing| a whitefurred fox already screaming his life out as if a tornado had come into his room at night. He was no ordinary fox; He had torn wings, with the torn up remains hovering close by, and stripy antennas, th one to his right was damaged- It was Dave's friend; Bzap.
