Hop To It - Eclipse 15

[Angora]

Down on Earth, the prevailing attitude was rather confusedly something like apathy.

There were some things that the human mind was just ill-equipped to handle. No one really understood what a million years meant, even as they stood in the museum and ...

Hop To It - Eclipse 14

[G.U.N.?]

Once, a long time ago, the Guardian Units of Nations lived up to their name. They were the guardians not just of the United Federation, but of all nations.

They had a base on every continent. In every country. They had robots when other countries on...

[Iota]

“Informative: Surface level scans indicate that this was once a coal mine.”

“Hmm.” Knuckles walked down the tunnel ahead of him, punching blockages away.

Iota was concerned that the echidna might cause further cave-ins, but on the other h...

Hop To It - Eclipse 12

[Shadow]

Shadow stepped off the teleporter to let the others come in, and found himself gravitating towards the window overlooking Earth.

This room wasn’t always a control bridge. It was converted to a security station as more people began living here, due to its ce...

Hop To It - Eclipse 11

[Humi]

Heyu was sleeping, and Humi was bored. She was bored, but not anymore!

Having spent most of her life in the city, Humi never spent a lot of time looking at the stars. There weren’t many stars to see in Station Square at night. And on the occasions she slept o...

Hop To It - Eclipse 10

[Shadow]

Doctor Eggman was causing a distraction while Rouge snuck into the prison base to find the Chaos Emeralds. From the chatter going on on their communication line, there were unexpected complications on both fronts, but they were handling it.

Shadow did not cur...

Hop To It - Eclipse 9

[Tails]

Lovely morning for a flight. The sight of all those G.U.N. ships surrounding the island kind of spoiled the view, but the weather was nice and the wind was under his wings.

Okay. Structural integrity… holding. Engine… steady. Wings… Uh, left wing wobblin...

Hop To It - Eclipse 8

[Heyu]

I might have made a mistake.

Not going after Humi, there wasn’t anything that could convince me not to do that. The mistake was that I’d been awake for, what… 22 hours at this point? I felt fine, and I was doing okay driving, but I knew that sooner or lat...

Hop To It - Eclipse 7

[Iota]

Meanwhile

Iota was pleased to discover something else he enjoyed: the open road and breakneck speeds.

Nature was full of quick and speedy things. The cheetah, capable of sprinting faster than any other land animal. The peregrine falcon, c...

Hop To It - Eclipse 6

[Shadow]

Shadow knew how to use the Chaos Emerald. It almost felt like the knowledge was built-in, it was so intuitive, but he’d also read the theory surrounding it, when he was younger. It had been part of his education.

But he had never done so before the Doctor f...

Hop To It - Eclipse 5

[Heyu]

Some people can hold onto their anger for ages. They nurture it like a fire, and keep it fueled to burn indefinitely. Mine was a firework; my anger burned hot and fast, and fizzled out quickly. I just wasn’t able to hold onto it for very long. No matter how much th...

Hop To It - Eclipse 4

[Humi]

Seeing Mecha Sonic again after their last encounter was a shock. Humi didn’t remember exactly how that fight ended, but she was told that Chaos knocked her and Amy out, so she’d assumed Mecha Sonic got destroyed. Not only was he not a pile of scrap, he seemed as ...

Hop To It - Eclipse 3

[Heyu]

I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

Iota had left. Apparently he really really wanted to visit Pumpkin Hill before we went home, and while I was a little concerned about letting him go on his own, Dad assured me it would be fine. He had friends in th...

Hop To It - Eclipse 2

[Iota]

Preliminary assessment of urban environments had been decidedly unfavorable.

Iota enjoyed nature, and over the course of his admittedly short existence, most of his time had been spent among greenery. Station Square was urban, but also undergoing construction, ...

Hop To It - Eclipse 1

Three Months after Perfect Chaos

Central City.

Titan of commerce and art. A skyline of steel and glass. Capital of the United Federation.

Home sweet home.

My parents moved to Central City after their wedding, one of hundreds of young Mobian couples seeking ...

Hop To It - Interlude: Breakdown & A surprise for later

“So it’s just a normal day, if slow, when this pink hedgehog girl comes in. She says some weird things and leaves, and then this little ragamuffin bursts in and locks the door behind her--”

“I threw a rock at a robot!”

“You what?!”

“Hush. So th...

Hop To It - Break 8

[Eggman]

Honestly, he didn’t even remember he had this base.

After the colossal failure that was Chaos, Dr. Robotnik was happy to take a short break and regroup. He had no desire to run afoul of that rotten hedgehog again any time soon. Oh, he’d be back, but on hi...

Hop To It - Break 7

After Iota woke up, we really started settling into… I wouldn’t call it a routine, really, but things seemed to click into place a little.

While the construction of Station Square continued in the background, we just got on living, taking every day one at a time…

Hop To It - Break 6

[Iota]

Long, heavy strides ate up the terrain as grass became logs became tile became grass again. The trees rose high above, and flowers of golds and reds dotted the landscape. Auditory sensors picked up birdsong, insect humming, frogs croaking, leaves rustling, water runn...

Chronometer: 4:3:12:47

Four days since coming online. Iota was going over the data it had acquired.

The world was an incredible place. The video media it had absorbed was clear. Information it had possessed through Encyclopedia had...

Hop To It - Break 4

I’d like to think I was raised pretty well. My parents were good folk and I grew up watching the standard assortment of morality-affirming children’s shows that taught such lessons as don’t lie, sharing is caring, and stealing is wrong. As I got older, of course, I discovered ...

Hop To It - Break 3

“Alright, are you kids ready?”

I stepped into Tails’s lab, adjusting my spare gloves. I grimaced. There was a reason these were my spares. They weren’t fitted. Granted, wearing the rings over them wasn’t helping, but I wanted to get used to the feeling since I had a hunch...

Notice of Edit

Chapter "Break 1" of Hop To It has experienced an edit for clarity, after feedback from the Discord.

Details to be found at this link.

Hop To It - Break 2

I stared at the assortment of rings laid out on the desk in front of me. Picking up one, size small, and another one that was much larger, I tried to put one through the other.

The second the small one started passing through the larger ring, a harsh buzz filled my ears, and I pulled back.<...

Hop To It - Break 1

They don’t tell you about what happens after the story ends.

The bad guy saved, disaster averted, the hero goes home. Maybe you get an epilogue showing how the characters are getting on now that everything’s great, but when that happens it’s almost never right after the ...

[Amy]

“This isn’t going well!” Amy shouted. She swung her hammer, knocking a missile away. It went into a tailspin and flew over the side of the Carrier, crashing into the sea and exploding. The fireball was just big enough to be seen from the middle of the deck. ...
