You Left Us Here

I love the Sonic Archie comics. They're a guilty pleasure of mine. I never got to see the original comics, but the newer ones were good.

I also play the games, I own almost every game, except for the rare ones.

One day I was looking for something in the trash that I threw away and regretted it. But I found something way more interesting in there. It was a CD that said "Sonic" in marker. I smiled and decided to take it home.

I put it into my GameCube and started to play it. The first thing I saw was that I wasn't playing as Sonic, I was playing as Sally! This was probably hacked, but I didn't care, it was awesome! The gameplay was similar to Sonic's in the Adventure games, only with Sally Acorn. Sally looked just like she did in the Archie comics, same blue, black and white outfit, same red hair, and same round muzzle.

I could swear I heard music from Sally.exe, but updated to fit the gamecube. It kind of scared me, but the cloudy blue sky, the Green Hill-like greenery, and the cute badniks made it comforting. I made Sally run ahead, she wasn't as fast as Sonic, but still pretty fast, which didn't match her Archie counterpart, but hey, this is a Sonic game, it would be pretty boring if the characters were slowpokes.

As I walked further the sun started to set like in Windy Hill Zone in Sonic Lost World. The music slowed down and I found a goal ring. I ran to it and it teleported me to the top of a platform. Sally had trouble standing on it and was desperately trying to keep her balance. Eventually she fell off, but I didn't lose a life, I just kept falling. Eventually Sally hit the ground. I heard a voice.

"Sally... We used to be best friends..." A shy female voice said.

"Yeah, we missed you, and I miss Knuckles." A tougher female voice said.

"Why did you abandon us?" A voice similar to Sonic's said, but it was deeper and tougher sounding.

"I wish you were forgotten like us." A bitchy female voice said.

I never heard these voices before. Not a chance.

"Who are you?" Sally asked. A light came on and four characters appeared. A yellow mongoose with long purple hair and a green and purple rocker outfit, a pink echidna that looked like Knuckles, but had a robotic dreadlock, a green hedgehog that looked like Sonic dressed as a greaser, and a scarlet vixen with a yellow bow.

"We're your lost friends." The pink echidna said.

"And enemies." The red fox said.

"We're not the only ones." Mina said. More lights came on and I saw hundreds, no thousands of characters that I've never seen before.

"We were deleted from our universe, and now we're trapped in purgatory, never to be seen again." The echidna said. "And your memory was wiped, it's like we never existed at all."

I was pretty confused by this, and by looking at Sally. She was too.

"I have no idea who you guys are, but I'm very sorry." Sally said while tearing up. Then all of the characters disappeared and Sally started to float upwards.

"I need to get these guys back... Somehow..." Sally said. "Please Cameron, you've got to help me!"

I couldn't believe it. Sally said my name! I felt bad for her, but I felt even worse for those characters, though I had no idea who they were or if this was just a joke by the creator of this game, whoever they are, it obviously wasn't Sega. I need to find out who they were, I might not be able to keep track of them all, but I'll try... For them...
