The fastest thing alive
The new beginning Saga begins on a beautiful Island known as South Island. A young blue hedgehog named Sonic runs around Green Hill Zone where he discovers a robot. After attacking the robot a random small animal appears out of the destroyed robot. It reveals to Sonic that 2 mad men have been going around putting mobians inside robot bodies. Sonic goes on to investigate and then suddenly appears into a random dimension. He recovers a green gem that contains a lot of power. After warping back into reality, he encounters a Egg shaped man and a small bald headed one. Sonic goes on to ask if they're responsible for putting the animals inside robots. The mad man reveals himself and his partner to be named Dr. Robotnik and his nephew Snively. Sonic goes on to tease the Doctor nicknaming him Eggman. The Doctor grows furious of the insults and attacks sonic with a wrecking ball attached to his Egg Mobile. Sonic runs around and eventually wrecks Robotniks small aircraft. Him and Snively escape as they vow to meet Sonic again. Sonic finds a capsule and opens it freeing many mobians from it. Suddenly a young chipmunk girl, a cowardly coyote, and a walrus escape as they thank Sonic for his heroic efforts. But with no way back home the young girl ask Sonic if they can accompany him on his mission to save the Mobians. At first he refused as he barely knew them but realizing they had no where to go Sonic accepts and allows the group to follow him. The chipmunk was named Sally Acorn, the coyote Antoine D'collete and The walrus named Rotor join Sonic on his adventure. While journeying across South Island Sonic and the crew encounter more gemstones on the way.

The search for the Chaos Emeralds
Sonic and the gang make their way to many areas and zones. On their journey they rescue many mobians from captivity with 2 more joining the gang. A half bunny cyborg named Bunnie Rabbot and a lynx named Nicole. Meanwhile Robotnik learns of the Gemstones known as the Chaos emeralds and learn that Sonic and his gang have recovered nearly 3 emeralds, making Sonic and mass target for Robotnik. When Sonic and the crew arrive to the Scrap Brain Zone, Robotniks base he built in South Island, he steals the 3 emeralds from Sonic to use to power for his suit the Eggskeletor. Sonic battles against the Tyrant before defeating Robotnik and destroying his base of operations.

Aftermath
Sonic and his crew arrive back to Green Hill Zone as many mobians celebrate and thank Sonic for his and his friends heroic efforts. With 6 emeralds Sonic feels that the battle is far from over and that Robotnik will return.
