Well, it all started when he was 14. Due to his grandfather's death, he became depressed and left his home planet. After he found out about his other self and their backstory, he became the ruler of a hill on the Pixel Planet. A hero found him on his way to collect six stones, and knocked him out to the outer space. He had to quit from his physical form to live. He, however, found a blue Hedgeghost which was on that same planet too. He decided to go after him and take control of his body, but the other Hedgeghost, which Phantom Sonic jokingly named after "Phantasma", fought back until deciding that he couldn't keep doing that forever. He gave up and Phantom Sonic took the control temporarily. However, his behavior made the citiziens of that island hate not him, but the Hedgeghost he was taking control of. After many months, in which some events led Phantom Sonic to take complete control of "his" new body, he was kicked from the island for his "friends"' sakes, even after two guys came by and tried to help him with that. However, some of them regret that decision to the date. After that, Phantom Sonic decided to pardon his new, actual friends, but not the rest of the Earthlings; that being the reason why he was absent during the night. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the piece of story before Phantom Sonic AKA Phantomic met the funky couple inside the game. Any similarities with real life are mere bootlegs of a story that actually happened to me some time ago in some Discord servers. Just gonna say, no hate intended for anyone involved
