Yet Another Sonic AR Story

Chapter 2
Unforeseen...Regression?

Chapter Description: Something goes wrong and Sonic gets regressed. How will they adapt?

Tails began to insert the samples necessary for the compound. Once the third argon was combined with the 4 hydrogen atoms, the machine that combined the elements went hay wire.

“Oh no!” Sonic screamed. The blue blur had no choice. He had to make sure his little buddy was going to be okay. Sonic jumped from the window of his viewing area and landed right in front of the beam from the explosion. By the time Sonic landed, the machine had been shut down.

“Sonic!” Tails exclaimed. He ran to where he saw Sonic land, only to find his shoes and gloves.

“Sonic” Tears began to trickle down Tails’s cheeks. The fox had lost his friend, his mentor, and the closest thing he had to a parent, or so it seems that he was lost.

Just then, a faint sound of feet hitting fabric was heard from Sonic’s right glove.

“Sonic?”

A tiny, blue infant hedgehog emerged from Sonic’s right glove. The hedgehog looked up at Tails and smiled.

“Sonic, is that you?” Tails picked up the hedgehog.

“Is that you, Sonic?” The hedgehog nodded. One of the scientists, the one with the receding hairline, ran into the room.

“I told that blue boy to stay put, but he wouldn’t listen! He could’ve caused you to get killed or-” The scientist’s words were cut off as he looked at the now infant Sonic in Tail’s arms.

“How the hell did that happen?” The scientist exclaimed.

Tails shrugged. The scientist was dumbfounded.

“This is a highly irregular effect, but what do you expect from a highly irregular compound.”

“What should I do? Sonic’s mother is out of town on diplomatic business, and his siblings are busy as well!” Tails inquired. The scientist pondered over this.

“Best that he be fitted for a hazard suit.” The other scientist said as he walked towards them. His mustache appeared to have been singed slightly from the explosion.

“Should Tails’s really have to be responsible for an infant and his work?” The scientist with the receding hairline inquired.

“He won’t be the only one taking care of him. Certain colleges of Tails will also watch Sonic while he is busy,” The other scientist explained.

“But surely, don’t you think it’s a little odd to have an infant in this building?”

“You brought your son here when he was an infant, as I may recall.”

The scientist pondered this for a second.

“Okay, fine, we can go along with your plan,” He replied.

Tails walked back into the room carrying Sonic.

“Hey, little buddy,” Tails said to Sonic with a smile. Sonic cooed happily and hugged Tails. The young fox smiled. Tails walked to the elevator. The two scientists followed closely behind Tails. They rode the elevator until they reached the top level. Tails then was led to the hazard suit fitting room by the mustached scientist.

“What do you need, Dr. Bradshaw?” An employe stated.

“I need this blue child to be fitted for a hazard suit.” Bradford replied. The employe gazed at Sonic.

“Shouldn’t he be fitted for a diaper first?” The employe inquired.

“This is no time for jokes!” Bradshaw exclaimed, “The child was once a teenager, but something went wrong during the attempt at trying to create a compound with hydrogen and argon!”

“Okay, okay. I’ll have him fitted for a hazard suit. If your crazy experiment made him this young, we can’t take any chances.” The employe took Sonic from Tails’s arms. Sonic reached for Tails and began to whimper.

“It’s alright Sonic, he won’t hurt you,” Tails reassured Sonic. Sonic gulped out of fear as he was carried to the fitting room.

“You know,” The scientist with the receding hairline stated, “there’s been a question that’s been irking me since my first day here.”

“And what is your question?” Bradshaw replied.

“Why do we always have to wear these ridiculous ties?”

“Who knows.”

The employe came back with Sonic diapered and in his arms.

“He’s going to need an extremely small hazard suit. It’ll be ready in about an hour and a half,” The employe stated. He handed Sonic back to Tails. Sonic hugged Tails tightly, but not too tight.

“Hey Sonic.” Tails said as he looked down at him.
