Into, Across and Beyond! Cast: Hog the Tenrec

Created by: Jack Gore

(Art by Stikfig01 on DA)

"If it means getting to stop other lives from being unfairly destroyed by some paranormal creeps... I'm in! I've got a lot I need to make up for after my world was wiped out."

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles; a truly marvellous game by today's standards, and a pretty fitting conclusion to the original Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy. And of course, our story begins when the cartridges containing the full game are inserted into a console.

However, this isn't the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis it got inserted into; rather, it was a bootleg product dubbed the GIGA Switch 'n Play, which aimed to create extensions to pre-existing titles. The console was made exclusively for the Sonic franchise, which aimed to include its own twists to the characters and gameplay.

And so this brought in GIGA's own original lineup of bootleg Sonic characters for this game; Hog the Tenrec, the land's hero, Prowler the Fennec, Hog's trusty sidekick, Fists the Porcupine, the guardian of the Giga Ruby, and Dr. Yolkman, the main bad guy. As to where the original assets ended up? Well, they ended up in a place dubbed "The Void", where hidden or unused assets go.

This is where this cartridge's Sonic ended up, having been stuck there for months by that point and trying to remain optimistic as best as he could, with little success. Just about everyone's code was being taken and used for the game, and Sonic was the sole survivor in the void, everything else he cared for having died upon coming here.

During his long time there, he learned about Hog, having witnessed him and Prowler getting into a scrape with Yolkman. He wasn't spiteful of this replica at first; rather, he was intrigued, and wanted to try and find a way to reach out to him. Unfortunately, nothing worked during his isolation, missing his friends and arch-nemesis a lot.

Soon enough, the distorting corpses of the trio revealed to Sonic some stuff; namely, what the Void was now doing to Sonic, and that he was really close to dying. Tails showed him a way to make his presence known via a Power Ruby, and Knuckles and Robotnik made it plain and simple that Sonic got replaced by Hog.

After a longer time in the Void, Sonic finally lost his mind, now feeling nothing but utter hatred for Hog and wanting to return on top again. In his words...

"I WILL NOT BE REPLACED!"

He was finally able to break out of the Void and snag the first Power Ruby. However, something wasn't right. He did not look like himself, and the fennec in front of him kept referring to him as Hog. He tried to take his anger out on Prowler, but his possession of Hog was short-lived, as the tenrec took back control, clearly unaware of what had just happened.

Hog felt guilty for unknowingly trying to strangle his now-upset friend, and Sonic was back where he was. However, he had that Power Ruby, and with them, he could keep trying to break free. And the more Power Rubies Hog collected, the closer Sonic was to his goal.

Later, Prowler noticed Hog's unnatural obsession with wanting to collect the Power Rubies, especially since he'd only ever get them to try and stop Yolkman. While the tenrec was resting up that evening, Prowler thought about what was going on and knew that this behaviour was completely unlike Hog. Whatever this thing was, it wanted the Power Rubies for its own purposes.

And so, Prowler worked on a device to nullify the power of the Rubies, testing it on one of them with success before pretending he was sleeping. The following day, Hog single-handedly dealt with a whole army of Boltniks, which gave Prowler a chance to sneak up on him and ready the gun.

This led to a fight between Prowler and Sonic, the gun working well against the corrupted hedgehog, who was impressed Prowler had figured out the truth. In the aftermath of their right, Prowler made it clear that Tails, despite the two being little alike, would not appreciate Sonic for doing this.

This only served to infuriate the fallen hero, who, in a fell swoop, slaughtered Prowler before Hog regained control. Hog was absolutely heartbroken over what had become of his best friend, falling into broken tears over this loss. And worse still, Sonic LET Hog regain control just to see his pain and relish in it.

Now holding all seven Power Rubies, Sonic attempted to transform proper, but with little success. However, the Giga Ruby on Heaven's Land (Hog's equivalent of Angel Island) could be a possible last resort. So he raced over there, only to be met with Fists, who wasn't too pleased about his motives for coming here.

After a fight that felt like hours, Sonic managed to weaken Fists, before using the Giga Ruby to summon his friends back into existence. However, they were more undead than anything, and they promptly slaughtered Fists in a really gruesome fashion.

Sonic then used the Giga Ruby to transform, but it wasn't what he had hoped for. His body was taller and more withered, reflecting the monster he had become. He was not Sonic anymore; he was now Scorched.

Yolkman arrived, feeling horrified at the sight before him before taking the Giga Ruby as fast as possible and retreating to Sacred Aether Zone (Sky Sanctuary Zone). When both arrived at the location, Yolkman ordered his newest robot, War Hog Mk. II, to fight off Scorched and buy him some time to escape.

However, Yolkman ultimately met his end too. But this time, Hog's resilience caused him and Scorched to be split into separate entities. And boy, was the tenrec NOT happy to see his most hated foe yet. The two fought a lot, and Scorched was getting the upper hand.

And yet, Scorched was forced to reflect on all that had happened, realising what he was doing was uncharacteristic of him, and he was losing all of what made him Sonic. Fists did survive his encounter, however, and his movement to patch himself up destroyed the Power Rubies AND Giga Ruby, setting off a worldwide apocalypse in the process.

Fists perished after getting some more hits into Scorched, leaving only the fallen hedgehog and Hog left. Scorched had now become nothing but a quivering wreck, regretting everything he had done after being called out for it by Hog. And with impending doom approaching fast, Hog didn't know whether he should forgive his enemy or let him suffer.

He seemed to lose consciousness for several hours after that, awakening in a new location he felt familiar with, but at the same time, didn't recognise. Something seemed to have saved his life, but he didn't know what it was. He did some investigating around the CR version of Angel Island, trying to get some bearings as to his new location.

During his time there, he discovered CR!Sonic paying a visit there, having patched things up with his Sally since One More Hero. The blue blur was headed to Hidden Palace as Hog quietly trailed behind so as not to be spotted. While in the palace, he saw the murals depicting all that had been, like the S3&K events and the ordeal with Perfect Chaos.

(Perfect Chaos mural by Sotaknuck from Sonic 3D in 2D)

At the shrine, CR!Sonic and CR!Knuckles were simply catching up with each other, the echidna having heard about Sonic fixing things up with Sally again. They noticed Hog a few seconds later, with the blue blur going to give his introductions.

Hearing Sonic's name caused those traumatic memories to surge right back into the tenrec, as he explained what had happened back at his world, and the sad truth that he can NEVER go back there ever again thanks to its destruction. CR!Sonic offered Hog his understanding and reassured him that he would not ever try to harm Hog.

For a couple more days, Hog stuck around the CR universe to familiarise himself with how regular Sonic universes are like, and he and CR!Sonic later got involved in the events of More than One Universe, Hog's motivation for doing so being to stop any more lives being unfairly lost to multiversal terrors like what Scorched was.

In the aftermath of it all, Hog decided to stick around in the OMT universe, becoming a new member of the Blur Gang and being able to interact with others from other worlds that are not hostile towards him in any way. In a way, he got what he couldn't back at his home; Sonics who COULD co-exist with him without being wiped clean from existence.

It's only telling that he and Wacky, both bootlegs of Sonic, take high offence to Lost Memory Sonic's remark that OMT!Tails and Antho were not deserving to be heroes due to not being Sonic. Speaking of them, they also have a good laugh about stuff like the names of their villains (Hog's being Dr. Yolkman, and Wacky's being Dr. Sunnyside, both egg-related puns).

Sonic Storybook but it's Greek mythology. Which characters are which gods?

ask @birdsareblooming she's working on it but i'll do my best

and also NOT taking into consideration familial/romantic relationships bc hot damn:

ZEUS (sky, storms) – Sonic. i mean... lightning, "knight of the wind", all that jazz. Alt: Surge.

HERA (family, marriage) – very few sonic characters are married so we should focus on the family aspect. Vanilla, then. Alt: Aleena

POSEIDON (ocean) – logistically, Chaos, BUT there's also a greek god literally named Chaos so, well. Other answer, Marine or Kitsunami.

HADES (underworld) – obvs answer but probably Shadow

DEMETER (earth, harvest) – hmm... perhaps Mighty

ARES (war) – OMEGA. do i even have to? Alt: Amy

ATHENA (strategy, wisdom) – Knuckles is probably an unpopular opinion but i think he'd fit. otherwise, Blaze or Sally.

APOLLO (sun, poetry, healing) – Silver. He's got the desire to heal the future, and, well. Solaris

ARTEMIS (moon, the hunt) – Whisper. personally i think Artemis is aroace but the lesbian interpretation is p good too so! let's go

HEPHAESTUS (construction, invention) –Tails. obviously. alt: Wave, Eggman

APHRODITE (beauty, love) – Rouge, not bc of her looks but bc of her love of pretty things. Alt: Breezie

HERMES (messengers, thieves) – probably bokkun let's say Charmy. Alt: Ray, Omochao, Rouge

DIONYSUS (drunk ppl and theatre kids) – Vector would be really funny lol

HESTIA (the hearth, home) – Blaze

PERSEPHONE (spring) – YOU KNOW IT'S COSMO. YOU KNOW

IRIS (rainbows, light) – Tikal

HYPNOS (sleep) – Big

NEMESIS (justice) – Espio.

NIKE (victory) – Jet. that hypercompetitive bitch? yea. Alt: Honey.

HEBE (youth) – Cream, w/ bonus Cheese lol

TYCHE (luck) – Tangle. i dont have a reason just the vibe

HECATE (magic) – AMY. absolutely Amy. alt: Nicole, Merlina, Ebony, or Infinite if u wanna go dark.

PAN (the wild) – STICKS.

BOREAS (north wind, winter) – Dulcy. she breaths ice y'all

ZEPHYRUS (west wind, spring)– Bean the Dynamite. he seems like the type to accidentally kill a guy he had a crush on

NOTUS (south wind, summer) – Wave

EURUS (east wind, autumn) – Storm, Eurus is seen as a Storm god

and then the muses:

CALLIOPE (epic poetry) – Aleena. Alt: Elise

CLIO (history) – Gold the Tenrec

ERATO (lyric + love poetry) – Mina Mongoose cause why not. Elise is also an alt for her, also Breezie.

EUTERPE (music) – Sonia

MEPLOMENE (tragedy) – Void (Sonic Shuffle)

POLYHYMNIA (sacred poetry) – Coral the Betta

TERPSICHORE (dance, choral music) – not a lot of sonic characters are dance-based– however, Manic could work, he's musical and quick lol

THALIA (comedy) – Lumina (Sonic Shuffle)– gotta match her twin

URANIA (astrology) – Amy would fit good here too lol, but I think we should go with Maria/Merlina.

and OBVIOUSLY Kronos is Mephiles like who are we kiddin

How does echolocation work?

https://sciencespies.com/nature/how-does-echolocation-work/

How does echolocation work?

This furry, flying critter shouts into the void, and then listens to the echoes that bounce back from objects in the darkness. Echolocation helps the bat to navigate, and to chase and snatch prey, such as moths, straight out of the sky.

Most of the world’s 1,400 bat species use echolocation. They produce pulses of sound, largely in the ultrasound range, high above the limits of human hearing. Most bats contract their larynx muscles to make the clicks via an open mouth, but some species use other body parts. Leaf-nosed bats make calls through their elaborate noses, while some fruit bats make clicks by flapping their wings.

As the bat closes in on its prey, the pulses increase in frequency to more than 160 clicks per second. The returning echoes then help the bat to determine the size, shape, texture, distance and direction of the prey or object. At up to 140 decibels, the shrieks are also incredibly loud. Just before it calls, the bat contracts its middle ear muscle, effectively dialling down its hearing, so the mammal is not deafened by its own cries. The situation is then reversed almost instantly, so the echoes can be detected.

Toothed whales, including dolphins and porpoises, also echolocate, as do certain birds and small mammals, such as some tenrecs and shrews. The strategy makes sense for species that are active at night, or that live underground or deep in the ocean, where visual cues are limited.

In which I create a whole new backstory for Silver (and now Gold too) bc he doesn't seem to have a proper canon one--

Quick rundown, since it'll get EVEN LONGER otherwise. text heavy below the cut

Silver the Hedgehog

Grew up in a ruined, lifeless future as a direct result of the Metal Virus overtaking most of the planet 300 years ago.

A drifter and sort-of archeologist who explores ruins to figure out what happened to cause this.

He encounters Prof. Schlemmer and Gold the Tenrec (from the Silver Age saga of the Archie comics) during one of these explorations. The professor is also trying to understand what happened in the past.

Since Silver has been alone up until this point, Schlemmer asks if Silv wants to stay with him and Gold. Silver enthusiastically accepts. Found family happens ✨✨✨ Schlemmer is his dad and Gold is his big sister figure.

They pinpoint the time period where things go wrong. Schlemmer reveals his idea of traveling back in time to prevent the Catalyst Event (the metal virus arc) and save the future. Silver volunteers to be the agent. Schlemmer is reluctant but agrees. He sends Silv to the past, while he and Gold provide support in the future.

After several instances of time traveling back and forth. They finally succeed. The future is saved, but it has replaced the old timeline and everyone in it. New Future! Schlemmer doesn't remember his previous life, meanwhile Gold is nowhere to be found.

Silver also starts glitching in and out of reality. With NF! Schlemmer's help, Silver figures out he erased himself from the timeline. He goes back to Sonic's present, since he is more stable there.

✨Stuff happens✨ Silver ends up in the Sol dimension and realizes he doesn't glitch out there. This is because Silver isn’t a native to the Sol dimension, so there are no events in the Sol timeline that says he isn’t supposed to exist.

So, he lives there now since he can't stay in the Chaos dimension for too long. He still thinks alot about his old life and family, and wonders if New Future! Gold is living well

...But there is no New Future! Gold.

Gold the Tenrec

Unlike Silver who is native to the Chaos dimension, Gold is actually a dimensional foreigner. Just like in her canon backstory, her home dimension was destroyed? frozen? by a Time Eater or smth, and she escaped through a stray portal. Schlemmer found her and took her under his wing.

So, when Silver changed the timeline, instead of being rewritten (like the case with Prof. Schlemmer), she was instead ejected out of reality since Time Itself didn’t know what to do with her.

She spends a while drifting alone in the empty space between dimensions. Existing and not existing at the same time.

Out of loneliness, she tries using her telepathy to find/call out to anyone who can hear her. Of course, her power gravitates towards where Silver is, who at the time was living in the Sol dimension unaware of what happened to Gold.

Silver sees and is able to talk to Gold in his dreams. And ofc, he goes on a mission to rescue her.

✨Stuff happens✨ Silver and Friends�� figure out that they need a Phantom Ruby (or enough of its shards) to rip open a tear in reality and quickly pull Gold outta there. Oh, and also the Chaos Emeralds or smth as a power source.

They do that. Silver goes super, uses the Ruby, extracts Gold. Boom, there’s a tearful reunion between brother and sister. Both of them are happy to be not-alone again, and they live in the Sol dimension.

Also Gold’s time in the Void enhanced her telepathy skills so she can like. talk to people in other dimension now via dreams so long as she knows where to direct it at.

#rey rambles #silver the hedgehog #gold the tenrec #anyways if anyone wanted to know the context behind that last art of Gold...

The Rescue [Drabble]

She could feel herself falling, drifting away from everything she knew. How long had she been falling? It felt as if she’d been falling for days, maybe years? the black void all around her, she couldn’t see, or hear, or feel anything. Was this death? Had she died in the battle? Or was this her existence now? She’d fought so hard, to change the fate of herself and silver but in the end she’d been so useless. Would she ever wake up again? Or would this eternal existence be all she knew?

Like a bolt of lightning she felt something grab her, and pull her back to consciousness. she gasped for air a voice telling her to hang on. Submerged in Icy cold waters, and a rushing river all around her. A Storm Raging above, purple lightning crackling through the sky. The Golden Tenrec's eyes locked above to see the girl above her, in a yellow rain coat. She had no idea who she was but those purple eyes were desperate to help her, but how? She was so far away and she barely had the strength to hold onto the small stone she’d been clinging to.

How did she get here? where had she come from? everything felt so fuzzy and it hurt trying to think about it. The girl above turned to the small beetle next to her and pointed toward the Tenrec, as the water was fast rising, and the fearful young girl insect mobian swooped down with a swift motion and picked Gold up in her arms “ Just stay Calm “ Her voice was soft, and tender, it calmed her down. But she had no strength left to even struggled, she must have fell in the icy water and lost consciousness, and yet why didn’t she recall anything before that?

Jewel set the girl on the ground above, the storm still raged as it looked as if the sky was being torn open with every bolt of lightning. She placed her hands on gold’s shoulders “ Just hang in there ok, we’ll get you to a Hospital... and don’t worry we are here to help...” She reassured the Tenrec, who could barely stand on her own. There legs shaking as the cold was seeping into there fur and clothes.

The ring tailed girl finally caught up to them shaking water from her hair “ I don’t see anyone else... i hope nobody else got caught in that flood “ She spoke in a loud tone “ I’m gonna keep looking, get her back to the Village, Whisper and i will look for anyone else caught in the valley! “ The Lemur smiled and gave the Tenrec a thumbs up “ good Job Jewel! see you can be a Hero when it counts! “ She laughed before turning to bound off back toward the Valley below, swinging away using her tail to look for more survivors.

“Do you have a name miss? was there anyone else down there? “

“ I...I Think it’s..i just...i can’t remember....”

“ It’ll be ok... just try to Relax, an Evac Team is on its way. “

Jewel was worried for the young woman, but there wasn’t much she could do but keep her warm and dry as possible. The Team would arrive soon and hopefully once the girl got some rest she’d remember something. But this storm was unlike anything she’d ever seen, wild uncontrolled like the heavens ripped open and tore the land apart.

She just prayed the girl would recover...
