## History

### War for the Master Emerald

With the Owls managing to take the powerful Master Emerald from the Echidna Tribe, they hid it on Earth, nearby the state of Hawaii, concealed inside an accessible Labyrinth.

### Sonic's Arrival

*"Twenty minutes ago, an energy surge knocked out power across the entire Pacific Northwest. What do we know?"*
―Sam Walters to the United States military[src]
Chased from his home by the Echidna Tribe, Sonic the Hedgehog based himself in Green Hills, Montana. He caused an energy surge ranging over the Pacific Northwest, leading to a search of him by the United States government.

Commander Sam Walters had chosen Robotnik investigate the cause, eventually figuring out that local sheriff Tom Wachowski is helping Sonic. They managed to escape the authorities.

#### Road Trip to San Francisco

*"I'd like you to take me to San Francisco so I can get back my rings and use them to go to the Mushroom Planet."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog to Tom Wachowski[src]
Tom Wachowski agreed to help Sonic find back his rings he lost atop the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, California. Along the way, they visited a tourist attraction and the *Piston Pit*, a roadhouse where a bar fight went down, later investigated by Robotnik.

The next day, after resting at a motel, the two continued their journey only to be followed by Robotnik upon the highway, using his technology to try and bring them down. Sonic was rendered unconscious afterwards, being driven to Rachel's home in San Francisco. When healed, Sonic, Tom and his wife Maddie Wachowski ventured to the Transamerica Pyramid. Sonic retrieved his rings and readied to open a portal until Robotnik unexpectedly showed up.

#### Chase of San Francisco

*"Welcome to San Francisco, Mr. Wachowski. Are you enjoying the clam chowder?"*
―Doctor Eggman to Tom Wachowski[src]
In an effort to escape Robotnik's forces, Sonic sends Tom and Maddie to Zimmer's barn in Green Hills before running away from him, destroying multiple city blocks of San Francisco. Sonic would try and outrun him by going to various locations on Earth until returning to Green Hills, where he'd confront Robotnik and send him to the Mushroom Planet. Sonic was brought in to the Wachowski residence afterwards.

With the United States government knowing about this, Commander and Vice Chairman Sam Walters founded the Guardian Units of Nations, a federal organization against alien threats, also granting the Wachowskis an Olive Garden gift card as a reward upon his visit to Green Hills.

### Sonic's Trip Around the World

Settling in Green Hills, Montana, Sonic decided to travel around the globe in a matter of 80 seconds, visiting New York, Utah and California on his trip.

### Washington Heroics

*"We're still learning details about what appears to be a hostage situation as armed bandits brandishing weapons have held up a bank in downtown Walla Walla, Washington."*
―News Anchor[src]
Wanting to be a superhero, Sonic travelled to Walla Walla, Washington after having heard of a bank robbery in progress. He managed to apprehend it while the planner of the robbery, agent Stone, received a Control Glove which embeds a computer chip reading Robotnik's manifesto, following it to acquire Karen's Coffee.

Sonic visited Washington another day in Seattle, terribly hindering a car chase, as reported by the *Daily Observer*, listing Sonic's sightings.

### Tails' Arrival

Tails, a fox cub wanting to meet his idol Sonic, was devoted to finding him while Knuckles, the last descendant of the Echidna Tribe, sought Sonic as well to be lead to the Master Emerald.

Both people arrived in Green Hills, with Knuckles being assisted by Eggman, as Tails saves Sonic from them in a car chase. They manage to escape them, hiding in deputy sheriff Wade's garage, where they find out Sonic must protect the emerald as stated by his guardian Longclaw.
