【个人汉化】Chapter 1 Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Movie Novelizat

CHAPTER 1
He had to go fast. Faster than a jet plane. Faster than the speed of sound. Faster than lightning. Sonic had to be the fastest thing alive.
What choice did he have with the missiles on his heels?
Crash! Shoooom!
"Hey, come on, Doc! You' re trashing public property here!" Sonic called over his shoulder.

The shards of breaking glass fell in slow motion behind him. Sonic curved his path, and his whole body spun in a blue blur out onto San Francisco Bay. As he splashed out across the water, he could feel the first heat-seeker barreling down on him. And behind it he could hear the laughter of a certain maniac with bad breath and a weirdo mustache. Robotnik.

Even with the craziness of that egg-shaped pod of destruction close behind, Sonic couldn't stop asking himself how he got to this point. Where did this adventure all start? California? Planet Earth? These weren't places where a talking blue hedgehog was supposed to exist. Not like home.
Maybe that's where it all started. Back home. Back with Longclaw...

The island was as mysterious as it was beautiful. Lush green plant life sprung from the ground in perfect geometric patterns. Crystal clear waterfalls cascaded into endless sandy beaches. And the ground twisted and turned not into hills but wild loops that only he could spring through without falling. And when he ran around them, there was music in the air.

But there was danger there, too. She had warned him.
Longclaw was the last of her kind，a noble line of warrior owls dedicated to maintaining balance for all living creatures. Outfitted in blades and battle armor, Longclaw's order had fought for years to protect their world-a world where the animals of the forest and the fields had evolved to be the dominant species; a world ruled by claw and fang.

But by the time Sonic knew her, the old owl was less a radical warrior and more a wise mother. She was the only one who had cared for him after the emergence of his powers. Even in their world, the blue fur... the electric speed... it was nearly indescribable. There were some who believed his powers would unleash chaos on the world.

And so Longclaw took him into hiding on the island. There he could run free and be something close to a normal kid. The most chaotic things about his life were his hilarious pranks. That's how he saw it
Whooooosh!
Wind whipped through the old hut they shared on that last night. Longclaw reached for the scabbard of her ancient blade. Her wings twitched as she called," Who goes there?"

"Ha! Gotcha again!" Sonic laughed as he popped out from under the bed's covers. He'd just hit the place with an immense amount of wind.
"Sonic!" Longclaw called, leaning on her weapon for support." You can't go bouncing across the island like that! Someone could have seen you."
"No one saw me-I'm too fast! And anyway, I wanted to bring you this."

He lifted up a sunflower, radiant and delicate. They grew on the far side of the island. The one that pointed back to the rest of the world.
The old owl took the blossom in her feathers and touched it gingerly. Then her eyes snapped into focus. She heard something. "Get down!" Longclaw shouted, and wrapped Sonic in her mighty wings.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
A flash of arrows flew through the windows and embedded themselves in the hut's weak walls.
A split second later, Longclaw blasted through the roof with Sonic clenched firmly in her talons. On the edges of his vision, Sonic could see who had fired the arrows: echidnas! They were coarse, vicious cousins of hedgehogs. And the hoods these ones wore showed their allegiance to the powerful warlords who had chased Sonic his whole life. They wanted to unleash the chaos energy inside him and overtake the world.

And by visiting the far side of the island where he'd most certainly been spotted, he'd led them right to his home.
The echidnas swarmed everywhere around the hut. Their army marched dark trails across the face of the beautiful island like black veins. There was no escaping them or the arrows that reached into the sky after Longclaw and Sonic.

Thwock!
"Arrrgggh!"Longclaw cried as her flapping ceased and both she and Sonic crashed to the forest floor. Sonic rose to his feet, but she stumbled again. The echidnas would be on them at any moment, but all he could think about was the wound he saw on Longclaw where the arrow bit deep into her side.
"Listen carefully, Sonic," she coughed as she limped to his side." You have a power unlike anything I've ever seen. And that means someone will always want it. The only way to stay safe is to stay hidden. And you’ll have to do it without me."

"NO!" Years later, Sonic still remembered the sting of tears in his eyes." I'll shock them all until they never come for us again!"
"It's too late for that. And besides, you don't want to live only to destroy. You were meant for more than chaos," she said, like she had a thousand times before." I don't know why this power came to you, but I have to believe that it was for more than being a pawn in someone else's game. That's why you must use the rings to travel to another planet-one whose inhabitants are ignorant of the larger universal order."

She showed him how they worked, the golden rings of almost unimaginable power. But Longclaw always warned Sonic that their powers were finite.
He could hold one in his hands, imagine a place he wanted to travel, and the ring would expand to warp him where he wanted to go. But then it would dissipate. He didn't have many rings left, and he didn't dare put them to use unless it was absolutely necessary. This was the last thing she made him promise.

"Stay secret. Stay safe," Longclaw had said as a brutal coughing overtook her." You can travel with one to this ' Earth' first. It may be easier to survive there. But if they ever find you, these humans will do terrible things to you, Sonic. I've seen what they' re capable of. So, if you' re ever cornered, keep this place in your mind."

She lifted a ring and called forth an image of a faraway planet. Its luscious green valleys and streams were populated everywhere by massive mushrooms-bright shades of red and green and purple that were beautiful to look at but ultimately empty.
"What if I just spoke to a few of them? The humans?" Sonic had asked. "Someone I could trust!"

"Trust no one!" Longclaw said, gasping with her final breaths. "Promise me!"
"I... I promise, "he said.
It had either been the smartest choice or the biggest mistake of his life, but the promise had been made.
No need to guilt-trip myself about it now, he thought as the missiles sped ever closer.

Because now that he was possibly facing his own end at the hands of Robotnik, Sonic finally understood what Longclaw had meant. This adventure with the humans was dangerous and deadly.
So where did this story really begin? It was in Green Hills. Months ago. On the side of the road where Sonic finally connected with his only friend. And his only hope.

他必须疾驰，比喷气飞机快；突破音障，快于霹雳。索尼克必然是最快的刺猬
当脚跟紧贴导弹，他有什么选择？
他必须轰然冲过去！
“嘿，来吧，蛋头！你在这里破坏公共财产！”索尼克打了个招呼。
破碎的玻璃落在他身后的慢动作中。索尼克一个急转弯，他的全身化作蓝色旋风，飞向了旧金山湾。当他溅出水面时，他可能会感觉到第一个寻热导弹向他扑来。在他的背后，他可以听到带着邪恶口气和怪异胡子的疯子的笑声。蛋头博士。
即使那个蛋形飞船的疯狂紧随其后，索尼克仍然不停地问自己如何到达这一地步。这场冒险从哪里开始？加州？行星地球？这些不是应该会说话的蓝色刺猬会出现的地方，不像自己的家。
也许这就是一切的开始——回家，回到长爪那里...
这座岛屿美丽又神秘。郁郁葱葱的绿色植物以完美的几何图案从地面立起。水晶般清澈的瀑布层冲向无尽的沙滩。地面蜿蜒曲折不是变成丘陵，而化作了狂野的圆环。只有他，才能从中闪过而不会掉落。当他在他们周围跃动时，空气中弥漫着音乐。

但是那里也有危险。她警告过他。
长爪，是她种族的最后一个高贵的猫头鹰战士，致力于维持所有生物的平衡。长爪的部队装备了利剑和战甲，为保护自己的世界而奋斗了多年。在这个世界上，森林和田野中的动物已经进化为主要物种。这是一个由爪牙和尖牙统治的世界。
但是当索尼克认识她的时候，这位垂垂老矣的猫头鹰已不再是一个激进的战士，而更像一名明智的母亲。在索尼克的力量出现之后，长爪是唯一照顾他的人。即使在他们的世界中，有着蓝色的皮毛，闪电般的速度的生物简直难以置信。有人相信他的力量会在世界上造成混乱。
于是长爪带他躲到了岛上。在那里，索尼克可以自由奔跑，成为一个和普通孩子差不多的孩子。关于他一生最难忘的事情是他那次的搞笑恶作剧，至少他是这样认为的。
呼……

他们昨晚共眠的古老小屋被疾风刮过。 长爪伸手去拿她古老的剑刃的刀鞘。她喊着：“是谁？”，她的翅膀不住翕动。
“啊哈！我又回来了！”索尼克笑着从床罩下面跳出来。他只是被狂风吹到了那个地方罢了。
“索尼克！” 长爪靠在她的武器上，喊道。“你不能像那样在岛上奔跑！有人会发现你。”
“没人能看见我-我太快了！总之·，我想带给你这个。”
他举起一朵光芒四射，纹理细腻的向日葵。它们生长在岛的另一端，面向那半边天。
长爪用翅膀小心翼翼摘下了花朵，温柔地抚摸着它。她目光一转，听到了那声音。 “卧倒！”长爪大喊，将索尼克包裹在她强大的翅膀中。
塔！塔！塔！
箭从窗户飞过，嵌入小屋墙壁中。
刹那间，长爪将索尼克牢牢地握在她的爪子中，并带他冲破了屋顶。在索尼克的视野边缘，他看到谁发射了暗箭。是针鼹！他们是刺猬族粗鲁，恶毒的表亲。这些戴头巾的人效忠于追逐索尼克的强大军阀。他们想释放他内心的混乱能量，超越世界。

通过搜查岛上的那一端，针鼹们找到了索尼克，并跟踪索尼克，潜伏到那间小屋。
针鼹把小屋围地水泄不通。他们的军队在美丽的小岛上留下黑色脉络。在长爪和索尼克之后，没有追兵，也没有伸向天空的箭矢。
嗖！
“ 嗷！”长爪哭喊，她的停止了扑动翅膀，她和索尼克都迎面撞到了森林的土地上。索尼克站了起来，但她，倒下了。针鼹随时都能找上他们，但索尼克所能想到的只是他在长爪身上看到的伤口，箭头深深刺入了她的身躯。
“听着，索尼克，”她缩在他身旁，不住咳嗽，“你有一种我从未见过的力量。这意味着总有人会想要它。你保持安全的唯一方法就是躲起来。你必须在没有我的情况下完成这一切”
“不！”多年后，索尼克仍然记得他则此时此刻眼中流下的泪水：“我会使他们战栗，直到不再为我们而来！”

她说：“但为时已晚。此外，你肯定不希望我们仅因被毁灭而生存。你的价值远超那些混沌，”她说，就像她以前经历过一千次一样。”我不知道为什么这种力量来到了你的身边，但我相信，你不能成为别人的游戏中的筹码，这就是为什么你必须使用戒指前往另一个星球-一个原住民不了解更大的宇宙秩序的地方。”
长爪向索尼克展示了法力无边的金戒指。但是长爪再次警告索尼克，他们的力量仍然有限。
他可以握着自己的手，想象想去的地方，然后戒指会膨胀，使他穿梭到目的地。但是，那会消耗一个戒指。他只剩下很少的戒指，若非必要，否则万万不可使用。这是长爪让索尼克答应她的最后一件事。
长爪咳嗽道：“保守秘密。保持安全。”你可以先和一个人一起去这个“地球”。在那里生存可能会更容易。但是，如果人类找到了你，这些人一定会找你麻烦。索尼克，这对你来说真是太糟糕了。我已经看到了人类的阴谋。因此，如果您遇到麻烦，请记住这个位置。”

她举起一枚戒指，呼出一个遥远星球的图像。那里甜美的绿色山谷和溪流到处都是，并长满巨大的蘑菇-有明亮的红色，绿色和紫色阴影，看上去很漂亮，但最终还是化为乌有。
“如果我只跟其中几个人类说话呢？” 索尼克问。 “只要是我可以相信的人！”
“不要相信任何人！” 长爪说，喘着粗气， “答应我！”
“我……我保证……”他说。
这要么是他一生中最明智的选择，或是最大的错误，但诺言终究已兑现。
……
导弹在头顶飞过，他想，现在无需为此感到内疚。
由于现在他知道可能会在蛋头面前面临自己的困境，因此索尼克终于了解了长爪那番话的意思—— 与人类的冒险是危险而致命的。
那么这个故事到底从哪里开始的呢？ 那是在青山镇。 几个月前。 在路边，索尼克终于遇见了他。那个男人是他唯一的希望。
