Ogilvie is a Script Fic for a hypothetical film based off Sonic the Hedgehog by Bright Side Euan
, written in 2019 and adapted into an audio drama in 2021.
When Dr. Robotnik attempts to access a Special Zone to obtain the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and Tails arrive to thwart him as usual... that is, until a turn of events sees Sonic disappearing into the Special Zone, with the only way to it disappearing in a flash.
Before he knows it, Sonic finds himself thrust into a bizarre, distressing odyssey of epic proportions. He experiences self-reflection, the entertainment business, war, and even the meaning of love, barely hanging on by a thread as he struggles to find a way back home.
Can be read in its original script format here, and listened to here.
Ogilvie provides examples of:
- Adaptational Nice Guy: The Coconuts in canon was just another one of Robotnik's lackeys, desperate to prove his worth by any means necessary. Here, he's not at all concerned with trying to prove himself and shows a far greater interest in helping those who need it most, keeping a distraught Tails company after Sonic disappears.
- Bittersweet Ending: Sonic reunites with Mario, but is left unsure of whether or not his newfound happiness is for real or if it's nothing more than a fabrication of his utterly shattered psyche. Even if it is for real, it doesn't change the fact that thousands of people (including but not limited to Tails, Coconuts, and every other Sonic in the multiverse) have died.
- Future Me Scares Me: Sonic's first stop on his trip is a lonesome void in which the only other inhabitant is an elderly version of himself, who's grown hostile and depressed after being trapped in the void for years.
- Gorn: An innumerable number of characters are maimed, mutilated, or otherwise obliterated. From the instant Sonic turns into his Super form and launches an all-out massacre on his counterparts, it transforms into an all-out bloodbath.
