**Sonic the Hedgehog** is the main protagonist in Sonic Prime.

## History

### Season 1

At one point, Sonic was fighting Dr. Eggman's Eggcrusher in Green Hill, taunting his nemesis and thinking he would win the fight and remain undefeated. When Tails arrived in the Tornado, he warned the hedgehog of a "trap" the scientist had installed. Nevertheless, Sonic ignored him and destroyed the head of the doctor's mech, sending out a huge energy wave across the area. However, he found out that the villain was not in there, but shrugged it off, believing that he had escaped.

Sonic later headed to Tails' workshop with comic books, the fox finding it weird that Eggman was not piloting the Eggcrusher. The hedgehog then went back to the battle area and returned with a device that was part of the trap the doctor had set up. Noticing that his friend had never made a shockwave as large-scaled as the one he had just done, Tails suspected the device was a speed amplifier that was using Sonic's speed against him. Immediately after, the duo was greeted by Rouge, who confirmed his theory. With her, the heroes learned of a mysterious gem called the "Paradox Prism", which, according to legend, could give access to unlimited power, and that it was buried deep within Green Hill's bedrock. The bat hypothesized that Eggman was attempting to find this gem too, hence his deploying of the Eggcrusher, and ordered Sonic to gather his friends to figure out what the doctor was up to.

Sonic met up with his friends and they decided to investigate what was going on, as he went to run over to the Paradox Prism's area. While running, he hoped to wrap up the investigation before dinner, thinking about eating chili dogs in the aftermath. As he was grabbing some Rings for later, however, he ran into Shadow, questioned what the blue hedgehog had done in response to the speed amplifier incident. Sonic simply responded back by saying that Eggman was the bad guy, starting a battle between the two. After losing some of his Rings, Sonic told his rival that he was on a mission, but refused to tell him about it. Afterwards, he distracted the black hedgehog and attacked him to run to where his friends were, meeting Big and Froggy and collecting some more Rings along the way.
Eventually, Sonic arrived at the scene of the Paradox Prism, only for his friends to greet him with saying that he was late. When they found Eggman about to take the jewel, he revealed his plans to take the gem and use it to take over the world. After a battle against the doctor's Badniks with his friends, the hedgehog saw the villain taking the prism, so he ran towards him to prevent this. However, the Paradox Prism was shattered, causing Sonic to be separated from his friends. He soon after found himself lost in the shatterverse and later ended up in New Yoke City.

After Sonic explored this new location, he noticed his shoes' soles were glowing and emitting electricity off of them. He then asked the locals where he exactly was, but was irritated to see they were ignoring him. Confused as to why everything is so soulless and lifeless, he noticed different versions of Big and Froggy in sight, whom he mistook for their counterparts from his universe and questioned the clothing they were wearing. However, when the hedgehog attempted to talk to them, a Security Drone went on alert after seeing him due to him being "an unidentified citizen". Finding himself cornered by Eggforcers, who ordered him to stand down or else be eliminated under the order of the "Chaos Council", Sonic ran off, but struggled to maintain balance due to his shoes. As he fought these robots, he noticed certain parts of Green Hill were here, albeit heavily distorted. Remembering the previous events, and how Eggman planned to get the Paradox Prism, Sonic believed that his nemesis might have won. As such, he rushed off to find Tails.
Sonic then runs into a robot controlled by Dr. Babble. After fighting the robot, Sonic notices Babble in the cockpit and is confused why a baby's there. He decides to ignore Babble and carry on for finding Tails. Upon entering a subway station he spots what he perceives to be Tails, excited, he runs into an alleyway. He then notices the door "Tails" entered in. However, it has a password, Sonic hopes that the password is the same as the one at home, it turns out it is. He then enters the room, and notices Tails' base is significantly different from the one at home but, he brushes it off and runs to Tails. However, upon this, it is revealed to be Tails Nine. As Nine started to fight against Sonic, he tried reasoning the fox inventor, to no effects being done. He and Nine would keep fighting against each other as they would exit his lab, then on moving trains. As Sonic dodged his pouncing, he saved Nine from almost being violently hit by a moving train.

Sonic explains to Nine that they are friends, but the young fox would not believe still, which lead to Sonic to interrupt him, pleading him to stop and listen. Sonic would then take about how he and "him" have met a longtime ago; him saving Tails from intimidation by the fox bullies. Nine would then talk about his past via his point of view, where Sonic never showed up, Nine taking a beating, and how he created 7 extra mechanical tails as an act of revenge. After he finished talking about it, Sonic is confused about him being Tails, but at the same time not the fox cub, and him being there when at the same time he isn't. He would then talk about the numerous adventures he and "him" had in the past, as well as talking about him having the Tornado and them beating Dr. Eggman plenty of times. Nine would then point out his soles (and eventually his shoes) were smoldering, much to Sonic's chagrin.

Sonic was then scanned by Nine to see the problem, in which the former was taken by him to his lab so that the young fox inventor could fix the problem. Once Sonic arrived, Nine presented a set of Regulators to him in order for the strange energy to be attuned. Once equipped, however, his shoes started to glow, transforming into special pairs of shoes instead. Sonic was quite amazed to see the new pairs he has gotten from the Regulators, in which he thanks Nine next. Once they got out, Nine told him to be quiet to not be noticed by anything, in which the latter ignores, eventually being grabbed by Dr. Babble. While Dr. Babble carry them back to the council, Nine and Sonic then have a small banter about keeping quiet.

Sonic arrives in pain from a bright light flashing onto him. He then notices Nine and Rusty Rose appearing before him. He assumes Rusty Rose is Amy and asks for a key, then shortly notices that she's a robot. The Council then make their presence to Sonic. Sonic gets irritated by the council, Rusty Rose then suggests stress tests to identify Sonics energy signature, Sonic gets further irritated by this. Rusty Rose threatens Sonic to go through the tests or else harm will come to Nine, Sonic complies with the terms and undergoes the tests. Rusty Rose finds the results inconclusive, Dr. Done-It tells Rusty Rose to force him to run. Sonic, (still under the assumption that Rusty Rose is Amy) is confused by Rusty Roses lack of compassion, Rusty in response shows the flicky within her. The Eggforcers then harm Nine, this makes Sonic enraged, and he tells the Council his frustration comes from him "messing with his friends". Sonic thus runs faster and starts to see Shadow, Sonic assumes that he is hallucinating and passes out.

After remembering Shadow, Sonic wakes up. Tired, Sonic asks if he passed the tests. The Council prepares to kill Sonic, in response, Sonic asks if he could say his final words. Sonic then attempts to come up with a speech on his friends and his life. During the speech, he looks at Nine and assumes his weaking, leading him to believe that the fox has a plan. Afterwards, Nine mentions that there was just dust in his eye, and he wasn't actually winking. Rebel Rouge and Renegade Knucks then save Sonic from the execution, then fight Eggforcers and Rusty Rose. Sonics cage spins around causing him to be dizzy. Nine deactivates Sonics cage and notice the two rebels in front of him, Sonic assumes them as Rouge and Knuckles. Sonic then struggles to fight Eggforcers and Rusty Rose due to his dizziness. Before Rusty Rose can harm Sonic further, Nine manages to gain control of her, and uses her to destroy the other Eggforcers.
With the battle over, Sonic attempts to do a group hug with Nine, Rusty Rose, Renegade Knucks, and Rebel Rouge, but they resent it. Sonic remembers the mess he's in and introduces himself to the 4, and tries to explain to them who they were in his universe. The team then run to escape, Nine then discusses the paradox prism with Sonic, and where to find it. Sonic then runs into Dr. Deep and fights him. After finishing the battle he high fives Nine. The Eggforcers then attack the team, Sonic tells the team to spindash. He throws the team at Eggforcers, teaching them how to spindash. Noticing his shoes are picking up on the shards energy, Sonic runs towards the prism.

Sonic encounters Dr. Babble and is annoyed with the repeated encounter. He runs around the city and fights Dr. Babble. After the fight, Renegade Knucks, and Rebel Rouge get trapped in a room to fight robots. Sonic tries to save them but Nine suggests to get to the shard. Sonic then finds the shard, but realizes it's not the full paradox prism, but rather just a shard. This causes him to realize his ignorance towards his friends warning him about attacking the paradox prism. With a newfound determination to fix the problem, Sonic grabs the shard but ends up being sucked into it.
