Chapter Two: Strange Woods

Franchises: Mario, Undertale, Sonic,

**Ebott City - Mt. Ebott**

Sonic fell out of the portal, near a large hole in a mountain. He rubbed his head and got up. 'What happened?' He asked himself in his mind. Sonic looked around, clearly confused. He didn't recognize the place he was in.

Suddenly, there was a scream coming from nearby Sonic. He ran through the woods toward the scream. In a small clearing in the mountain woods, a girl lay in front of one of the portals, similar to the one he came out of. The girl got up and noticed him.

"Hello. Who are you?" The brown-haired girl asked.

"I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! Who are you? And where are we?"

"I'm Frisk and … Oh no!" She said, looking frantically around. "We're on Mt. Ebott. We have to get out of here!" Frisk said, starting to run downhill. The girl was considerably slower than Sonic, so he grabbed her arm and started running at his own speed. He didn't know what the problem with the mountain was, but this girl seemed freaked out about it.

Frisk marveled at the speed that the hedgehog could run, but was still concerned about being back on the mountain. Sonic slowed once they were at the bottom of the mountain.

"Hey, where did you ... come from?" Frisk asked. She knew he wasn't from the Underground, she would have already met him for sure.

"I'm from Mobius. I've never seen this place before," Sonic answered, gazing around.

"Mobius? I've never heard if that. But I haven't ever really left Ebott City." Just as Frisk finished talking, a small rocket flew right next to her and blew up after hitting a tree. It just barely missed her. Both Sonic and Frisk looked in the direction the rocket came from and saw several orange robots. Eggman's robots.

"Great, Egghead's here too?" Sonic muttered. "Oh well." He jumped, and performed homing attacks on each of them, breaking them into tiny pieces.

Frisk wasn't sure how to think about this. Sonic had probably just saved her, but he did destroy the robots. They were robots and had no soul though. Quickly, Frisk checked him. She found that he had a very low LV. Not zero like hers, but still low. Frisk decided that unless he seemed dangerous to her or her friends, she'd trust him. Not all of her friends had an LV of zero too. Her friends. What had happened to them?

Sonic saw Frisk's expression shift to worry. "What's wrong?" he asked. Frisk looked up into his eyes.

"Before I was sent here through that … portal, I was with my friends. We got separated." Sonic noticed that she was wet. "Before the portal appeared though, something weird happened."

"What?"

"So we were driving. Over a bridge. Without warning the bridge collapsed and we fell. We saw the sky had also cracked," Frisk said, looking up to the crack still in the sky.

Sonic gasped. "That crack! I saw it where I was too. It must be part of what's happening!"

"We have to figure out what's happening. Some of my friends could probably help us out."

"Yeah," Sonic said, "time to save the day again! I know some people that would help. Let's stick together and help find each other's friends while trying to get to the bottom of this!"

So this chapter was a bit shorter than the first one, but the first one was long because it was the introduction. I thought that Frisk would probably be a little skeptical about the characters for other franchises since most games you have to kill enemies. I think I know another franchise that I will add, but it's going to be a surprise! That franchise may not be as much of a major one as the current three though. For this story I don't think I'm going to have a schedule, I'll just post as I finish chapters. Have a wonderful day!
