      And at that time the kidnapper was calling Emperor Saggan himself on his mobile phone, who, in turn, was in his palace, where everything was now covered with thick fog and creatures were flying around that looked like giant dragonflies with birds that looked like a mixture of pterodactyl and vulture The emperor himself is inside the palace and examines his miniature models of cities in the land of fogs, cleaning them from dust with a brush with one hand, and holding the phone to his ear with the other. — So, you call me because you have collected that very collection. — Yes, my emperor. I have all the dolls based on the American animated series 1993 at home and finally I have the most important one. Sonic the Hedgehog himself. — Good good. I'm just delighted. But remember! If you dare to deceive me and bring an incomplete collection or slip something else in, you will die. — Karl said the last phrase menacingly, like an evil emperor from a movie. Then he calmed down and asked. — Do you understand my warning? — Yeah Yeah Yeah. I got it. Bye. — the collector finishes and hangs up, after which he looks with a grin at Sonic, whom he placed inside a glass box on the table. — You, my little hedgehog, will have to bring me a lo-o-ot of bububububucks. — After that, he laughs under his breath and leaves. When Sinitsin left the room and closed the door behind him. Sonic was finally able to calmly come to life and look around. The place seemed completely unfamiliar to him. However, he had no intention of staying here. Removing both his hands from under the hanger, he opens the glass door of his drawer and jumps out onto his desk. He immediately jumps off of it onto the floor and runs to the door. The hedgehog is trying to jump to the door handle in order to grab it and open it. However, unfortunately, he could not jump so high. Looking around, he found a ventilation cover nearby. — O! — he said to himself and ran up to the bars. Taking the right screw with both hands, he first unscrews it, and then the screw can be easily unscrewed. Same with the next screw on the right. Having grabbed hold of it, at first he struggled and barely wriggled out, but then he began to wriggle out faster. Both screws were removed and Sonic lifted the ventilation grille up. Running forward, he first turned left and ran straight for a long time, but that ventilation path led him to the kitchen. He clearly didn't belong here, and he ran back along a different path. Having run even further, he turns right at the next corner. However, that path led him to the bathroom. He couldn’t come here either, and he ran back again. Then he ran straight and there was only one turn to the right. There were no further turns in the ventilation. He had already seen a bright light at the end of the tunnel and hoped that this was the way out. He was already incredibly happy. However, barely having time to slow down and almost falling off the edge, he discovered that he had nowhere to run through the ventilation. There was an elevator shaft ahead. However, the elevator went very deep down, and below it was dark and nothing was visible. Except that the iron cable was hanging down in the center. Of course, he could try to run and jump in order to grab onto one of these cables and slowly descend along them so as not to be killed on the ground. Or what's down there? However, he was afraid to jump. He's just a toy, and not a real brave Sonic, capable of such crazy jumps or risky stunts. Besides, there was no point in falling there at all, because what if he died in the fall? Well, or at least, even if he survives, he will probably break even more during the fall, so that it cannot even be repaired? Unfortunately, there is no time to wait for a long time for the elevator to start working and go up. Waving his hand at the elevator shaft, Sonic turned and ran back again, returning to the same room. Not forgetting to close the ventilation grille so as not to leave a trace of your previous escape attempt. What if this can still be used? Looking around again, he draws attention to a chair that stood next to a large hot water radiator under the windowsill with a window. Then he decided to run there and climb onto the window, hoping that maybe there he would be able to get out of here. But it was not there! First, he ran to the nearest box, climbing onto it, from it he jumped onto the chair itself, and from the chair he climbed onto the windowsill. Looking out the window, he was suddenly shocked by what he saw. Everything around was absolutely white and semi-gray. There was one big and thick fog all around, through which it was not at all visible from afar where it was. A couple of pigeons flew by, and strange-looking birds flew next to them. These same birds were somewhat reminiscent of a mixture of pterodactyl and vultures. One of these strange birds flew up to the window and grabbed with its beak a beetle that was crawling along the glass of the window. The beetle itself was somewhat reminiscent of a scorpion and a fly. And in general he was just crawling on the glass. When that bird ate this insect, it flew away to fetch its fellows. Looking down a little lower, the only thing Sonic saw was the barely noticeable semi-dark silhouettes of houses, between which a six-legged giant even walked, with some people sitting astride him and looking around, as if they were being given a tour of the city. Beyond this thick fog nothing was visible at all. Except that the sun from above the spruce was displayed in the form of a small and cloudy gray coin. The toy hedgehog immediately realized that he was probably very far from his home and now did not know how to get back. And what will David himself think when he returns home and doesn’t find him at home? Excitement forced him to look somewhere straight into the fog itself, keeping both palms pressed to the window and thinking only about his owner. — David! He suddenly felt as if someone behind him coughed a couple of times and Sonic slowly turned towards the sound. Sonic just now noticed that there were several boxes in the room and one of them was open. Not far away stood a toy of a strange rabbit, whose half of her body was like a cyborg. Finely chopped polystyrene foam, which apparently was in these boxes, was scattered around the room. — Um... Hello... — Sonic said, going down to the floor. He didn’t know how to react, because it was unknown how the toy would treat him. The rabbit nevertheless turned to him and, seeing him, her eyes widened. It was as if she had known him for a long time and did not expect to see him here. — It's you? — he immediately heard another voice, apparently addressed to him. He turned to the left and saw in front of him a plush chipmunk in blue shoes and a blue, but unbuttoned, jacket. In her left hand she held some kind of plastic mini-computer with the face of a lynx drawn on the screen. She looked at the hedgehog and joy was visible in her eyes with a smile. — Sorry, I... I just ended up here by mistake and... — the hedgehog began, but the rabbit immediately ran up to him and squeezed him in her arms. — It's you! It's you! — the rabbit chattered. Suddenly she let go of Sonic and pulled his string, which triggered the voice mechanism. — There are ticks in my sneaker! — So it’s you! — the chipmunk rejoiced, making sure that this was the one they were thinking about. — Stop repeating! — asked the hedgehog, and the chipmunk hugged him. — We knew that you would come sooner or later. — she says, and then something dawned on her that she was letting the hedgehog go. — I completely forgot about our comrades. — Comrades? — Sonic didn’t understand. — Antoine Depardieu, Ari the Ram, Dulcy the Dragon, Bob, Loop, Ixis Naugus, Rotor the Walrus, Tails, Rosie, Nicole, Snively and Robotnik. — the cyborg rabbit listed the names, although her patter sounded so that Sonic did not understand her a little. — They will be so glad to see you. Sally puts her index and middle fingers in her mouth and whistles loudly towards the boxes. Immediately, the rest of the boxes opened, as if on cue, and out came other toys based on the characters Antoine Depardieu, Ari the Ram, Dulsey the Dragon, Bob, Loop, Ixis Naugus, Rotor the Walrus, Rosie and Snively. Among them was even an old friend of Tails. Only he was a little different from the one that even Sonic himself knew at home. He was a little younger and brown. Sonic was glad to see him and hoped that he would warmly throw himself into his arms. — Hello my friend! — says the hedgehog, stretching his arms to the sides. The little fox smiled silently and just nodded. Sonic didn’t understand why he didn’t run to hug him. — I say hello, brother! — he says additionally, and Tails still nodded silently and only extended his hand, hoping to shake it. — Oh, yes, sorry! We forgot to warn you. He, unlike the rest of us, is mute and does not speak a word at all. Because he can't. — Bunny explained, and Tails nodded again, feeling a little sad, but for Sonic’s sake, he smiled again, because he was still glad to see him. Sonic extends his hand, slightly torn along the seam on his shoulder, to him and shakes the little fox’s hand. The rest of the toys were also shocked and were very happy to see Sonic. Especially the plush dragon, who ran closer to the blue one and hugged him tightly, almost strangling him. — What I love most is hugging. He says and lets go of Sonic, allowing him to catch his breath. CinemaSins: How can he breathe and choke? He’s a toy and doesn’t seem to have any internal organs. AntiSins: Well, these are living toys. To be human, they can also have capabilities like breathing or suffocating. Why not? And even if they suffocate, they will not die at all, as you yourself said, essentially they have no internal organs. At this time, Snively opened the last box and took out another cardboard box, which he dragged to the others. — Meet Dr. Robotnik! — Sally introduces Sonic's latest toy mate. The latter looks and sees only a box with the image of a plump bald man with black eye sockets and red pupils. He had the exact same mustache as their Eggman, only his clothes were a little different. — But... It's a box! — Yes, and it’s inside the box. New, unopened. — Sally explained to him. At this moment, a polite voice was heard, somewhat similar to the voice of an old man: — Turn me around, Snively, so I can see better. — he asked his colleague politely. — Yes, sir. — the long-nosed man answers and turns the box one hundred and eighty degrees to the left. He notices Sonic and admires him: — The prodigal son has finally returned. — Are you here! Are you here! Are you here! — Dulcie chattered, squeezing Sonic in her arms again. — Looks like I'm already going crazy. — muttered the hedgehog, freeing himself from the dragon's embrace and carefully backing away. It is unknown what these toys are capable of. Meanwhile, all the toys stared at him in surprise, and Dr. Robotnik continued: — It’s hard to believe that we have been waiting for this day for so many years! I'm glad to see you, Sonic! — So, listen, I don’t understand what’s going on and... — Sonic began, but Robotnik’s words stopped him. — Wait a minute, do you know my name?! Everyone present looked at each other and then laughed. The toy hero's question seemed very funny to everyone. — Everyone knows your name! So-oni-ic! — Lupe replied after everyone had calmed down. Sonic was a little embarrassed by this answer. — Don’t you know yourself... Who are you? asked Snively. — Well, I... A toy... And um... As far as I remember, I am connected with my other friends whom I remember... Sorry, but... I don’t even know you all. All the toys immediately gasped and widened their eyes, not expecting such an answer. — Did he really spend too long alone and forget about us all? — suggested Antoine Depardieu, speaking with a noticeable French accent. Sonic interrupted him slightly: — No, no, I was not alone. I had my own friends that I know. I even remember their names well. Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Cream, Rouge, Omega, Metal Sonic, Dr. Eggman, Deko, Boko, Bokkun, Shadow, Silver, Blaze, Infinite, Mephiles, Time Eater, Sonya, Manic, Charmy, Vector and Espio. These are all my friends that I know that are closely associated with me and my main franchise. And I don’t know you at all. — How? — everyone asked at once. They didn't even really know all these names that Sonic told them. — Don’t you even recognize me? — asked Sally. — No. — Sonic answered her briefly, but then frowned slightly as he examined her. — Although... I have such a strange feeling, as if you and I, or not you, but a toy similar to you, have already met. — Then maybe these things will refresh your memory. — Robotnik said and turned to Snively. — Snively, please turn on the light. — "Light? but now it’s daytime and there’s enough light.” — Sonic thought, not understanding what the toy in the box meant. — Yes, sir. — Snively answered and headed to the nightstand located near the front door. Jumping onto the stool, and then onto the bedside table itself, the long-nosed one tried to reach the switch, but it was too high. — Let me help. — Dulcie suggested, climbing up to Snively and putting her head up so he could reach it. — Thank you, Dulcie. Snively replied and was finally able to turn on the light in the room. This same light shone despite the daylight outside the window, shining brighter from one of the walls where the hedgehog paid attention. Sonic was surprised when he saw posters, cardboards, figurines, comics, figurines, and board games that depicted him. It was simply impossible to count all this variety of things. Sonic could only look and admire it. Nearby there was also a large plastic image of Sonic in full height in a cool fighting pose. — It's me! — he thought to himself out loud, looking at all this. His gaze drops down and he notices a bunch of different magazines on the floor, whose covers are also taken from some of the episodes of the Sonic cartoon series that were mentioned in them. — Well! CinemaSins: Something I didn't understand: If the Sonic show started in 1993 and ended in the same year, then Sonic himself must have been made around the same time. Why doesn’t the hero remember a damn thing about the one in whose hands he was for forty fucking years. The same David must be his tenth owner! AntiSins: Why should he think about them? David, as well as his father Ivan, who is still alive at the moment, are his most beloved owners, and the rest is not important to him. Then Bunny turned on the TV, and Dulcie inserted a disc into the player, and immediately a cartoon appeared on the screen, and the title song began to play: ♪ Blue streak speeds by ♪ ♪ Sonic the Hedgehog ♪ ♪ Too fast for the naked eye ♪ ♪ Sonic the Hedgehog ♪ ♪ Sonic, he can really move ♪ ♪ Sonic, he's got an attitude ♪ ♪ Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive ♪ ♪ Look out when he storms through ♪ ♪ Sonic the Hedgehog ♪ ♪ Don't doubt what he can do ♪ ♪ Sonic the Hedgehog ♪ ♪ Sonic, he can really move ♪ ♪ Sonic, he's got an attitude ♪ ♪ Sonic, he's the fastest thing alive ♪ ♪ He's the fastest thing alive ♪ ♪ He's the fastest thing alive ♪ Sonic, still surprised, looked at the screen and walked closer to look. — What kind of cartoon is this? — he asked. — This is the 1993 animated series Sonic the Hedgehog, in which we are its heroes. — Sally explained. — Yes. It was very popular in the 90s. — Robotnik added, closing his eyes in a rush of nostalgia. — Would you like to watch it? Maybe this will also help refresh your memory? — he suggested to the hedgehog. The toy blue hedgehog was very curious to watch this old cartoon to himself, so he nodded in agreement. And when one of the episodes began, the rest of the toys sat down next to him, deciding to watch the animated series about themselves again.
