Chapter 1: Sonic's Heritage

Sonic was walking home from another beating with Doctor Eggman. The mad scientist had been plotting something, and Sonic, of course, stopped him. Once he got back, Tails saw him and smiled.

"Hey Sonic, how was beating Egghead?" Tails asked. He didn't have to ask Sonic if he'd won anymore. It was pretty much routine.

"Yeah. it's like my job or something."

"Except you do it for free," Tails snickered.

Sonic chuckled. "Right answer," he said. "Now, where are the chili dogs? I'm starving." He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, grabbed some food and began to eat.

Tails rolled his eyes. Sonic always wanted chili dogs after every battle with Eggman. Smiling to himself, Tails walked into his lab to work on fixing the Tornado. It had snapped a wing off the other day. Nothing Tails couldn't fix. A few minutes later, Sonic came down to the lab. "What are you working on?"

"Oh, just the plane and a new invention I'm working on. It can make people into giants. Ya know, in case Eggman decides to make a really big robot and we don't have time to get the Chaos Emeralds."

Sonic's eyes widened. "That's cool," he said. "Can it transform them into animals as well?"

Tails nodded. "It's still a work in progress so I won't be able to test it right now." Tails said, turning back to his machine.

The blue hedgehog chuckled and turned away. Then he walked upstairs and into his room, taking out a pendant. It was a symbol of Rome. He hadn't told his friends this, but Sonic was of Roman descent. He smiled, put the pendant around his neck, and walked downstairs.

Tails finished his invention and walked inside. He guessed Sonic was in his room, so he decided to watch the news, to see if there was anything interesting. A reporter popped up on screen. "As you can see, Dr. Eggman and Sonic the Hedgehog had another battle today." The reporter was saying. "However, it looks like Dr. Eggman isn't finished, as he is rampaging through the city with another robot."

Tails smacked his head against his forehead. Didn't Eggman ever stop? "Sonic! Get out here! You might want to see this!" Tails yelled.

Sonic ran into the room with the pendant around his neck. "What is it, Tails?" he asked.

"Eggman," Tails said, pointing at the TV. It was at that point, that he noticed the pendant. "Sonic..." Tails said slowly. "What is that around your neck?"

"This?" Sonic asked, touching the pendant. He smiled. "It's an heirloom of my bloodline."

Tails was confused. Sonic had a bloodline? From where? "Uhhh...what bloodline? What symbol is that?" Tails asked.

"Io sono di Roma, Italia," Sonic said in Italian, with a perfect Italian accent. Tails stared blankly at him, not understanding a word Sonic had said. Sonic chuckled and dropped his American accent, speaking with an Italian one. "I just said, 'I'm from Rome, Italy'."

Tails didn't know what to make of that. Sonic never showed the slightest hint that he was Italian. "If you're Italian, why did you never let us know that?" Tails asked.

"You never asked, and I didn't really know what to say about my heritage."

"I see your point. I just can't believe my best friend is of Roman descent. Anyway, you might want to put that thing back in your room. Eggman is tearing up the town as we speak."

Sonic chuckled. "Sì, certamente," he said. "Yes, of course."

Tails smiled; it was cool that Sonic spoke Italian. He hesitated, and asked him about it. "Hey, since you speak Italian, were you born in Rome? Or are you just of Roman decent and learned how to speak it?"

"I was born in Roma," Sonic said, smiling.

Tails had to admit, his Italian accent was pretty cool. "Cool! Your accent is awesome! I think it's really cool you're from Rome," Tails exclaimed.

Sonic laughed. He loved seeing Tails excited like this. "Grazie. Thank you."

"Right. Now Eggman," Tails said, as Sonic put the pendant back in his room. "He's moved to the center of the city, near City Hall."

"I'll get right on it," Sonic said, and ran out the door. He didn't notice that his pendant began to glow. Meanwhile, Eggman was rampaging around the city with the Death Egg Robot. As he chased a few people around, Sonic ran up to meet him.

"Still up to no good, eh, Egghead?" he asked, still speaking in his Italian accent.

"What the...what's with the accent?" Eggman asked, looking in confusion at his arch enemy.

Sonic chuckled and shook his head. "I've always had an Italian accent; I just don't use it much. I'm from Rome. Now, nemico acerrimo...arch enemy...shall we get started?"

He smirked and got into a battle stance.

Eggman sat there, staring at Sonic for a few seconds, then snapped out of his trance. He got the Death Egg into a fighting stance as well.

"Your move," Eggman sneered.

The Italian nodded and lunged, punching his fist at the robot. He curled into a ball and did a spin dash, along with a homing attack, hitting the robot with such force that it started to malfunction.

Eggman smashed his hand on a yellow button. Rockets launched out of the back and sped towards Sonic. Sonic smirked and jumped in the air, then landed behind the robot. Eggman's eyes widened as the missiles collided with the robot, causing a massive explosion. Sonic looked at him.

"Can't win every time, can you?" Sonic asked. Eggman glared at the Roman.

"It would appear that way" Eggman said, a grin forming on his face. "But this is one of those times!" he exclaimed, as Metal Sonic jumped behind Sonic and grabbed him.

"Che cosa!" Sonic said in Italian. "What!"

Eggman's eyes widened; he didn't know Sonic spoke Italian. "You should have known something was up when I decided to attack the city twice in one day." Eggman said, shaking off his surprise. "But you can never resist the temptation to fight me. Now you're mine!" Eggman laughed, and they started to head back to his base, bringing a struggling Sonic with him.
