Deep Sea Sonic: Prologue

"Honestly Eggy, I really thought you would be more creative than this."  The golden hedgehog looked at the mangled mess of metal that the insane doctor was trying to keep aloft.  The golden energy that surrounded the hedgehog swirled like fire as he shrugged.  "I mean seriously, another Death Egg?  That was the best you could come up with?"

The mad scientist waved his fist at him in anger.  "You pest!  Look what you did to my Death Egg 2!"

"Yeah, it still looks like the same scrap heap I trashed the first time."  Sonic said with a smirk.  He then raised one of his eyebrows as he continued.  "You usually at least come up with something a little interesting, but this…this is just boring."

"What?!"  The mustached doctor yelled as smoke was almost coming out of his ears.  "You want more excitement?!  Then here! Take this!"

Eggman pushed a button on the control panel and the massive base launched a missile strike against Sonic.  But the super powered hedgehog simply destroyed them with no effort.  He then shot the doctor a slightly annoyed look.  "Really?  That's it?  Like I said, boorring."  

"Why you-!"  Eggman's yell was interrupted as the Death Egg 2 began to break apart.  "Damn, I better get out of here."  The mustached doctor then made it to his Egg-mobile and took off.  

Sonic then rolled his eyes, "And here we go, Egghead takes off and leaves me to clean up the mess."  

The massive moon sized base threatened to crash into Mobius as it entered the atmosphere.  The golden hedgehog raised one of his arms and muttered.  "Chaos Control."

The Death Egg simply disappeared as soon as the Chaos Energy hit it.  It had been four years since the first time he had ever used Chaos Energy, so he was used to channeling it by now.  "Well, guess that's that."

Suddenly, Sonic felt himself falling backward.  "Hmm?  What's goin' on?  I can't be running out of Chaos Energy already."  

Just after that last thought, Sonic's fur color began to change from brilliant gold to his normal azure blue.  "Oh snap."

As the energy began to leave him, he began to lose altitude and fell back toward Mobius from the stratus sphere.   Shit!  Come on, this can't be happening.  

A trail of gold followed him as he past through the atmosphere.  Sonic's eyes widened as he looked toward Mobius and realized where he was going to crash…in the middle of the open ocean!
