Blue Child of Hope
CHAPTER ONE
BLUE CHILD OF HOPE
"In an alternate future, there is a world destroyed by evil, the evil robot named Superior Metal Sonic. The world is now a desolate wasteland with no heroes but one. The son of Silver the Hedgehog, he is the cloaked traveler of the wastelands, hero of the people, Fog the Hedgehog."
A cloaked figure walks across a desolate desert, showing buildings buried in sand
The cloaked figure looks at one of the buildings and walks toward it
The cloaked figure unveils his robot arm and touches the building
CLOAKED FIGURE
"I see your past and your future."
The Cloaked Figure takes off his hood, showing the Fog the Hedgehog. A grey hedgehog with a scar over his right eye and wrapping around his snout to his left cheek
FOG
"You had a lively past. I'm sorry, but all I see in your future is dust."
A young bright blue hedgehog with a cloak walks toward Fog, tugging on his cloak
BLUE HEDGEHOG
"Hey Foggy, can we go now? This place is scary."
Fog takes his hand off the building and looks at the Blue Hedgehog with sad eyes
FOG
"Yes, we can Velocity. I'm sorry for taking so long."
Velocity smiles
VELOCITY
"It's okay!"
Fog takes Velocity's little hand and starts to continue to roam the desert
FOG MONOLOGUE
"The year is 2240, we live in a world covered in darkness. All that is left is a few colonies of humans, the destroyer of this world and its androids, and me. The only hope we have in this world is this little blue hedgehog."
A younger Fog runs into a lab with a gun in hand, ducking for cover
Fog looks out from cover and sees no one but a glowing blue test tube
Fog walks toward the test tube and sees a tiny blue baby hedgehog inside
Fog touches the glass of the test tube
Back the present, Fog walks with Velocity in the desert
FOG MONOLOGUE
"This world has a shadow watching over it. It's destroyer, named Superior Metal Sonic."
Superior Metal Sonic, a crimson robot hedgehog with bits of blue and yellow covering it's body, showing it's bright golden eyes sits on a throne with it's legion of androids. One mimicking every single one of the original Sonic's allies. There is one mimicking Shadow, Amy, Knuckles, Tails, and Silver
FOG MONOLOGUE
"My father died to that monster. Now all who is left to take care of this world is me and the last shining ray of hope for this world, Velocity.
FOG MONOLOGUE
"I didn't inherit my dad's psychokinesis but what I did gain is the power to see the past and future of everything I touch. I can't control it though. Sometimes I feel as if it's a curse rather than a gift. But every time I take the hand of this little blue hedgehog, I always feel hopeful."
In Fog's vision, he sees Velocity as an adult standing over the body of Superior Sonic, giving hope and inspiration to many people in the background. Then he sees a scene showing a teenage Velocity holding Fog's dead body in his arms
FOG MONOLOGUE
"I am meant to die protecting him."
Fog looks at Velocity
FOG MONOLOGUE CONT.
"We still don't know what his power is. But this kid is going to be the savior of this world and I am supposed to train him to the best of my ability."
Fog looks forward with a determined look
FOG MONOLOGUE
"That is my purpose in life and I am going to achieve it to the fullest."
SETTLEMENT
Fog and Velocity walks toward the entrance of a settlement that was created out of an old scrapyard
Fog walks toward the entrance, seeing the two guards standing under a sign that says "Deadlands"
When Fog and Velocity get to the entrance, Fog looks up at the sign
FOG
"That's an interesting name for a city."
A guard looks at Fog
DEADLANDS GUARD
"Wait, are you a?"
Fog looks at the Guard with a curious look
FOG
"Yeah, what of it?"
The Deadlands Guard steps back for a second
DEADLANDS GUARD
"Carry along."
Fog and Velocity walk through the gate, unveiling a rustic city surrounded by a metal wall, full of houses made out of leftover tin. With small crowds of people standing at every large building
Fog looks around and sees a sign that says "Benny's bar and food"
Fog and Velocity start to walk toward the bar
As Fog and Velocity walk toward the bar, the people standing at the buildings around them start to stare
Fog looks around at the people
FOG MONOLOGUE
"People now, are afraid Anthromorphs. There aren't many of us left anymore. The only close to Anthromorph-like thing they see are Superior Metal Sonic and his goons. Causing humans to look at us in fear."
Fog sighs
FOG
"What are you all looking at? Looking to start something?"
Most of the people then look away
A kid pushes through the crowd and looks at Velocity and Fog with awe
Velocity looks at the kid and smiles
The kid smiles back
Fog looks down at Velocity
Fog smiles
FOG
"You can go and play if you want to. Just be careful."
Velocity smiles and runs toward the boy
The boy and Velocity pair up and run through the crowd
Fog enters the bar
Fog sees that the bar is crowded with many kinds of folk
Fog walks toward the counter and sits down
Fog looks up at the bartender, a skinny black American individual
The bartender walks toward Fog and looks at him with an unsure look
FOG
"May I have Jack?"
The bartender pauses for a second. Then regains his bearing and turns around
The bartender opens a mini fridge and takes out a Jack Danial's whiskey
The bartender takes looks toward a stack of shot glasses and grabs one
The bartender places the glass on the counter and pours a shot of whiskey
The bartender slides the whiskey over to fog
The bartender turns around and places the whiskey bottle back in the mini-fridge
Fog picks up his drink with his robot arm and drinks his shot in one gulp
Bartender looks at Fog with an unsure look
BARTENDER
"That'll be three chips."
Fog moves his cloak off of his pouch and puts his hand in the pouch, rummaging through it
Fog takes out three red poker chips
Fog gives the poker chips to the Bartender
FOG MONOLOGUE
"After the world ended, a city of casinos became the capital. Because of that, poker chips became the new currency of this dead world."
BARTENDER
"T-Thank you."
Fog sighs
Fog looks at the bartender
FOG
"See, not all of us are bad."
The bartender sighs
FOG
"Hey, which direction is the capital, from here?
Velocity and the kid runs through the streets in zig-zag lines
Velocity and the kid bumps into each other and fall down
Velocity and kid bust out laughing
VELOCITY
"This is so much fun!"
Velocity looks at the kid
VELOCITY
"What's your name anyways?"
KID
"Name's William."
Velocity holds out his hand
VELOCITY
"Nice to meet you William, I'm Velocity!"
Kid shakes Velocity's hand
WILLIAM
That's a strange name.
Velocity and William let go of each other's hand
VELOCITY
"You think so?"
William stands up
William looks down at Velocity
WILLIAM
"Yeah, but it's still cool."
William holds out his hand, to help Velocity up
VELOCITY
"Thanks."
Velocity takes William's hand and William pulls Velocity up
William turns around
William looks back at Velocity
WILLIAM
"Follow me, I'm gonna show you my special place!"
Velocity looks at William and smiles
VELOCITY
"Okay!"
William starts to run down the street and Velocity follows
Fog sits in the bar on a barstool
FOG
"Thanks. I really appreciate it."
BARTENDER
"No problem."
Fog exits the bar and looks around
FOG
"Now where did that kid go?"
Velocity and William run into a barren, dark alleyway
William runs ahead of Velocity and runs to a switch
William flips the switch
WILLIAM
"Check this out!"
Pretty red and green Christmas lights turn on, illuminating the alleyway
Velocity looks up at the lights with amazement
VELOCITY
"That is so cool."
William turns toward Velocity
WILLIAM
"I know right! I found this place and it came with the lights. I thought they were so pretty!"
William scratches his head
WILLIAM
"I'm glad I'm not the only one."
William chuckles
MYSTERY VOICE
"Where do you think you're going kids?"
William and Velocity turns around looking at three big grizzled looking men. One with a beard, one with a face tattoo, and one which is bald
BEARDED GRIZZLED MAN
"You know kid, Anthromorph freaks like you arn't welcome around here."
BALD GRIZZLED MAN
"Yeah! What Ryan said."
William runs between the three men and Velocity
WILLIAM
"Guys, please leave him alone! He's a good friend."
FACE TATTED GRIZZLED MAN
"Oh no, it looks like the freak affected lil William's mind. Guess we should do something about that."
The Bearded Grizzled Man slaps William to the side, knocking him to the ground
William starts to cry
The Bald Grizzled Man looks at William
BALD GRIZZLED MAN
"What? Gonna cry you little punk. Where did all that toughness go?"
The three grizzled men then start to bust out laughing
Velocity clenches his fists
Velocity jumps in between the grizzled men and William
VELOCITY
"Please leave William alone!"
FACE TATTED GRIZZLED MAN
"Or what?"
Velocity starts to shake
VELOCITY
"Or I-I'll deal with you myself!"
The Bald Grizzled Man points at Velocity
BALD GRIZZLED MAN
"Look! He's shaking in his boots. What? You gonna wet yourself too?"
The Bald Grizzled Man starts to laugh even more
After a few moments the three grizzled men calm down
The Bearded Grizzled Man slaps his fist against his palm
BEARDED GRIZZLED MAN
"Now, time to deal with you."
The Bearded Grizzled Man takes one step forward
Then Fog comes jumping off of a building
Landing in between the kids and the three grizzled men
Fog looks back at the boys then back at the group of grizzled men
FOG
"So you guys go after little kids, huh?"
BALD GRIZZLED MAN
"Crap! Another one!"
FOG
"Now it's time for me to show you what real pain is like!"
Fog whips his body to the right then back to his stationary position. Causing his cloak to float to the side. Unveiling Fog's scarred body
FOG
"If you wanna fight. Let's fight!"
The Face Tatted Grizzled Man steps forward
FACE TATTED GRIZZLED MAN
"Fine, if you say so."
The Face Tatted Grizzled Man throws a punch at Fog
Fog uses his forearm to parry the strike
When the Face Tatted Grizzled Man touched Fog, Fog immediately saw his past and future
FOG
"Sad, I guess you don't change. Do you?"
FACE TATTED GRIZZLED MAN
"What?!"
Fog then over and the head of the Face Tatted Grizzled Man and kicks the man in the head, with enough force to knock him to the ground, knocking him out
Fog turns around and looks at the two other guys
Fog gets into a fighting stance
The Bearded Grizzled Man and the Bald Grizzled Man look at each other then back at Fog
They both decide to charge Fog
Fog breathes in then out
The Bald Grizzled Man tries to throw a punch at Fog
Fog dodges the punch and uses the momentum of the dodge to punch the Bearded Grizzled Man straight in the gut
Then Fog jumps up and kicks the Bearded Grizzled Man in the face, knocking him out cold
Fog looks at the Bald Grizzled Man
The Bald Grizzled Man looks around
BALD GRIZZLED MAN
"Crap! What am I going to do now?"
Fog looks at the Bald Grizzled Man
FOG
"Shut up and fight."
The Bald Grizzled Man then pulls out a knife
The Bald Grizzled Man lunges at Fog and tries to stab him in the chest
Fog blocks the strike with his metal arm, breaking the blade of the knife
In a split second Fog roundhouse kicks The Bald Grizzled Man so hard, it knocked him into the wall causing a loud "CRASH!!" Knocking him out immediately
Fog walks towards the two kids, as they both look at Fog with awe
Fog looks at Velocity
FOG
"You okay kid?"
Velocity looks up at Fog
VELOCITY
"Yeah."
Velocity looks back at William
VELOCITY
"But William's hurt."
Velocity then faces back toward Fog
Velocity clenches his fists to the point to where he's shaking
VELOCITY
"A-And I couldn't even do a thing about it."
A tear flows down Velocity's face
VELOCITY CONT.
"I-I was just so s-scared."
Fog sighs
Fog kneels down in front of Velocity
FOG
"It's okay to be scared Velocity. That is just what happens. It's natural to everyone. What matters is that you overcame that fear and stood up to those butt wipes."
Fog points at Velocity's chest
FOG
"You have a good heart Velocity, don't ever lose that."
William walks up next to Velocity
WILLIAM
"And I'm okay too!"
William looks at Fog
WILLIAM
"You must be Foggy. You're just as cool as Velocity says you are!"
Velocity smiles
Velocity looks at Fog
VELOCITY
"Hell yeah he is!"
Fog scratches his head out of embarrassment
FOG
"If you say so."
Fog, Velocity, and William exits the alleyway
Fog looks around and sees people staring at them
Fog looks down at Velocity
FOG
"Velocity, we better leave."
Velocity looks up at Fog
VELOCITY
"What? Why?"
Fog nods his head toward the crowd staring
Velocity then realizes what Fog was talking about and hangs his head because of it
VELOCITY
"If you say so."
Velocity looks back up at Fog
VELOCITY
"Can we stay for at least a few more minutes though?"
Fog sighs
FOG
"Okay, but only a few more minutes."
30 minutes, Fog and Velocity stand on the road out of town
Fog and Velocity look back at William
Fog looks down at Velocity
FOG
"We better get going."
Velocity nods
Fog puts on his hood
WILLIAM YELLING
"Goodbye Velocity, I hope we get to play again someday!"
Velocity turns around and sees William waving, standing with his mom and dad
WILLIAM YELLING CONT.
"And thank you Foggy for saving us!"
Velocity look then looks up at Fog
Fog looks down at Velocity and smiles
FOG
Don't worry, we'll see them again. I'm sure of it.
