Daniel was a HUGE fan of nearly everything Sonic. He would play every game and read every comic. He had many friends who shared similar interests with him. One day, while walking home from school, he saw one of the newest Sonic games for sale and couldn't help but buy it immediately. This one seemed extremely new. On the cover were three characters he knew all too well; Whisper, Tangle, and Lanolin. He had to play this game as soon as he could. He ran home as fast as he could, not looking where he was going. He NEEDED to play this game as soon as he could. He ran straight through a crosswalk that was still red. He didn't see the massive truck that was headed for him. Once Daniel noticed, it was too late. Daniel feel onto the hard ground and everything began to fade. Daniel tried his best to get home, but he could feel himself slipping away. He was dying. Daniel closed his eyes, feeling weak, and feel unconscious. He could hear ambulances driving toward him, but all of the sounds of the town soon vanished. Then, Daniel heard new sounds. But how could that be? He was dead, right? He felt as his body began to heal itself and soon felt grass underneath his fur. Wait, fur? Daniel woke up and looked around him. Everything around him looked like it was made of pixels. The grass looked like it was made in a checkerboard pattern. There were platforms that seemed to just float in the air. He was in green hill zone, but how? Daniel stood up and saw his new body. He was a brown hedgehog now and wore his normal outfit that he wore when he died. But how is this possible? Just then, he was jumped by another mobian that looked like Sonic himself. Daniel tried to get him off, but the attacker held Daniel down tight. Suddenly, a wind blast knocked the fake Sonic off of him. Daniel turned to see Whisper, Tangle, and Lanolin behind him.
" Hey, kid. You alright? " Whisper asked, lending her hand out.
