Sonjet

Sonjet is the slash ship between Sonic the Hedgehog and Jet the Hawk from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Sonic Riders
One night, Jet and his Babylon Rogues - Wave and Storm - were offered an opportunity by Doctor Eggman: enter his EX World Grand Prix and win the Chaos Emeralds that are being offered as the prize. He explains that it's with the Emeralds that they can properly use the key for their ancestral home of Babylon Garden. Jet believes this to be an easy job until Eggman reveals to him the biggest obstacle: Sonic. Despite Eggman trying to highlight how much of a thorn Sonic was going to be, Jet brushed off the worry. While admitting that Sonic maybe the fastest land creature, Jet proclaims that, with his Extreme Gear, he's nothing more than a joke.

Jet and his Rogues eventually arrive in Future City to obtain a Chaos Emerald, the required entry fee, and eventually find one. It's during their escape with it when Jet has his first encounter with Sonic as he drops down in front of their path in an effort to block them. Jet manages to easily swerve past Sonic, but the hedgehog pursues after grabbing the Extreme Gear of Storm - who Sonic's friend Knuckles knocked down earlier. Sonic manages to catch up to Jet and the two proceed to race while trying to cut each other off. Jet remarks that Sonic's not bad before blowing the hedgehog right off his board and racing off with the other Rogues, all the while mocking Sonic for supposedly being the "fastest thing alive". Sonic, after getting up off the ground, remarks that he's got new competition.

The next day, Sonic and his friends learn about the EX World Grand Prix and Eggman's involvement. When Eggman presents the currently signed-up contestants, Sonic expresses surprise that Jet is among them, and is what motivates him to enter the Grand Prix. The two groups make their way through the competition until making it to the semi-finals. In the jungles where the semi-finals are being held, Jet spots Sonic practicing his Extreme Gear skills and, deciding to have some fun, sneaks up to them. Jet mocks Sonic, saying that he's out of his league when it comes to using Extreme Gear. After Jet leaves, Sonic muses to Knuckles that Jet isn't all talk and that he should be careful for the remainder of the competition. Sonic and Jet ultimately win their semi-final races and move on to the finals.

In Sand Ruins - the site of both the finals and Babylon Garden - Jet claims that Sonic only got as far as he did due to luck and not skill. Sonic fires back, saying that he wasn't going to lose now. The final race soon begins with Sonic looking like he's going to win, with Jet angry at the thought. However, Jet manages to win when his fellow Rogue Wave secretly detonates the explosive she planted earlier in the competition on Sonic's Gear, knocking Sonic down. Jet, after mocking Sonic that the dirt suits him, collects the Chaos Emeralds with his key - only for the resulting collection to suddenly reveal and reactivate Babylon Garden to everyone. While Jet's awestruck at finding Babylon Garden, he doesn't notice Eggman take his key before flying to the Garden. Jet and the Rogues pursue Eggman to Babylon Garden, with Sonic and company not far behind.

After locating Eggman below, Sonic and Jet both disembark from their respective aircraft only becoming aware of each other on the way down. Jet claims that Sonic can't catch up with Eggman and tells him to leave, only for Sonic to challenge him to a race. The two race across Babylon Garden in an effort to catch up with Eggman, ending with Sonic winning just as Jet loses balance and falls off. Jet manages to catch up to Sonic as he's confronting Eggman at the main door. After blowing Eggman away, Sonic throws the Key back to Jet, but the hawk sees this as pity for losing their race and doesn't want it. This rant is interrupted when Wave and Storm arrive and take the Key, with the former telling Jet to just accept it since Sonic and his friends don't want it. While still not accepting the result, Jet relents and joins his fellow Rogues in entering the Garden while Sonic and company decide to leave.

After entering Babylon Garden's treasury, Jet and the Rogues are confronted by a genie-like guardian and are joined by Sonic and company in defeating it. As the guardian disappears, it leaves behind a chest that Sonic and Jet open, with everyone marveling at the contents. They're interrupted, however, by Eggman suddenly appearing and holding them all at gunpoint demanding the treasure inside. Sonic and Jet exchange a snicker at Eggman's possible reaction before Jet hands over the treasure - an ornate carpet. As Eggman lays shocked at spending so many resources just to get a "piece of junk", Wave and Tails explains it's not just a carpet: it's the prototype Extreme Gear developed by a previous generation of the Babylon Rogues. Sonic remarks that he thought flying carpets were fiction while Jet marvels that he and the Rogues are descendants of genies. Leaving Babylon Garden, Jet reveals he and the Rogues are going to continue hunting treasure before vowing to defeat Sonic the next time they meet, which Sonic gladly accepts.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
A few months after the EX World Grand Prix, Jet and the Rogues arrive at the Gigan Rocks to obtain an artifact known as the Ark of the Cosmos. After successfully obtaining the Ark, Jet and Wave notice a shooting star in the sky and begin wishing on it, with Jet wishing for the power to beat Sonic. This is interrupted when the meteor impacts, causing the ground to shake and set off the booby trap Jet deactivated earlier. The Rogues are nearly killed by the falling rocks, but are saved when Jet accidentally activates the Ark's gravity manipulation to stop them. Jet's excited because he sees this turn of events as his wish coming true as he and the Rogues escape Gigan Rocks to plan their next move.

Jet and the Rogues begin hunting for more Arks of the Cosmos, with the trail leading them to one of Monopole's botanical gardens. While searching for the security robot that has an Ark, Jet eavesdrops on Sonic and his friends being joined by Amy - who has an Ark with her. Jet's furious about this development, but is calmed down by Wave's arrival and decides to follow Sonic's group as he resolves to beat the hedgehog. The Rogues are led to the headquarters of the security company MeteorTech - manufacturer of the security robots currently rampaging across Monopole - as they attempt to get to Sonic and company. However, the Rogues are detected by MeteorTech's security systems, forcing Jet to use the Ark to send the ensuing robots flying - while also alerting Sonic's group to them. Sonic is surprised to see Jet here while the hawk notes that it's been a while since he and Sonic have seen each other.

Now face-to-face, Jet demands that Amy hands them the Ark she possesses, only for Sonic to cut in and say that girls hate guys that rush them. Before the argument escalates further, more MeteorTech robots arrive and approach the group, forcing Sonic and Jet to make a break for the HQ's control room. During the ensuing race, Jet's surprised to see Sonic also using an Ark of the Cosmos. The two eventually reach the control room, where they discover that Eggman owns the company and is having trouble keeping his robots in line. As Eggman explains what's going on, Jet remembers that Amy had an Ark and demands she give it, only to find that she and Storm disappeared in the chaos. Sonic, Jet, and their groups separate in order to locate their missing comrades.

Sonic, Jet, and their groups reunite at Crimson Tower - MeteorTech's signal tower - after Eggman stole the Rogue's Arks of the Cosmos and Sonic's group followed the ensuing chase. The groups deduce Eggman's end goal - ordering his robots to rampage the world using the Ark's power - and Sonic resolves to stop it until Jet stops him. Taking the opportunity to finally beat Sonic, Jet challenges the hedgehog to a race, with the first to reach Eggman getting all of the Arks of the Cosmos and the title of "fastest creature in the universe", a wager that Sonic gladly accepts. The race ends in a tie as Sonic and Jet blow down the doors the the tower's mother computer - causing Eggman to be knocked out and the Ark's master unit to be rejected, ending his plan. Not long after, Babylon Garden suddenly appears near the tower - which Wave theorizes is because all of the Arks (the garden's engine units) are together - and Sonic, seeing what this means, hands his Ark to Jet. Jet's not happy that they still haven't settled things, but Sonic says they can settle it in the next World Grand Prix.

As the Rogues get ready to depart for Babylon Garden, the lead security robot - which had been collecting the Arks of the Cosmos, as well - arrives and takes the Arks before flying towards the Garden. This causes Babylon Garden to turn into its true form of the spaceship Astral Babylon and begin activating it's engines - which is powered by a black hole that begins sucking in everything nearby. Overhearing Wave explaining that the black hole can be stopped by disconnecting the master unit, Sonic gets on his Extreme Gear and flies to Astral Babylon alongside his friends, with Jet and the Rogues not far behind. The two groups manage to defeat the security robot - empowered by the Arks - and end the crisis. Despite now knowing the Rogue's alien origins, Jet resolves to stay in the world as he wants to still prove himself against Sonic. The two soon have an impromptu race in one of Monople's traffic tubes.

Sonic Free Riders
Sonic, Jet, and their respective groups are among the participating teams in the second World Grand Prix. The race was another ploy by Eggman, going under the disguise of "King Doc of Toreggmania". Due to how the story is structured in this game, Sonic and Jet aren't guaranteed to meet and what happens in those races are variable.

Team Hero
Following Team Hero's victory over Team Dark, the Rogues arrive with Jet claiming to Sonic that they will win the Grand Prix. Sonic isn't surprised to find that Jet made it to the finals with the hawk hoping he's improved since the last time they met. After the Rogue's first defeat, Jet says that he needs to get serious if they're going to win before directly challenging Sonic, which the hedgehog answers with confidence. Team Hero seemingly beats the Rogues, until it's revealed that Jet's Gear had technical problems during the race, prompting Sonic to issue a rematch that Jet accepts. Even with new confidence, however, the Rogues lose the rematch. When Omochao approaches Team Hero for an interview, Sonic asks how Jet's taking his loss, prompting Omochao to find the Rogues leaving the area. Jet takes the opportunity to declare revenge the next time they meet, which Sonic gladly accepts.

Team Babylon
After Team Rose's defeat at the hands of the Rogues, Amy says that Sonic will beat Jet, to which the hawk says he's looking forward to. Sonic promptly arrives to accept the challenge as their two teams race. After the Rogue's first victory, Wave guarantees that Jet will win the next round, which makes Jet suspicious as she makes it sound like she tampered with Team Heroes, somehow. After finally seemingly beating Sonic, Jet muses that it was too easy while Sonic takes the loss in stride. However, after finding out that Sonic had technical problems with his Gear during the race - seemingly confirming his suspicions with Wave - Jet demands a rematch as he feels he needs absolute victory for it to count, which Sonic agrees to. Jet ultimately beats Sonic in the rematch, with the hedgehog complimenting that Jet was untouchable. Jet says he'll accept a rematch whenever Sonic calls for it.

Final Story
At the awards ceremony, Team Heroes and the Rogues were among those waiting for the winner to be crowned. Eggman, still in his King Doc disgiuse, arrives but challenges all of the teams to a final race against his "Ultimate Gear-Jockey Robot" to give the crowd more enjoyment. Jet is skeptical of this "Gear-Jockey Robot" while Sonic tells Eggman to just drop the act. After beating the Gear-Jockey - Team Dark's E-10000B - Jet lambasts the robot for it's ineptitude. At this point, Eggman drops the charade, which Sonic is glad finally happened, and reveals to the competitors that he had been using E-10000B to gather everyone's race data and perfect it and create the ultimate racing Gear. Upset by the deception, the competitors (including Sonic and Jet) challenge Eggman to stop his plans.

Upon Eggman's defeat, he's despondent that his data was wrong. Jet joins Wave in mocking Eggman for seemingly overlooking an obvious problem while Sonic notices that E-10000B is spewing a lot of smoke. The truth is revealed when E-10000B reveals itself to be Metal Sonic, having taken all of the data and feeding Eggman fake data. Jet witnesses Metal Sonic racing, and ultimately losing, to Sonic. Upon Metal's defeat, it's revealed that there was no prize money. Sonic comments that his job would be easier if all of Eggman's schemes implode on themselves while Jet reveals he had a good time with the entire event in spite of the lack of reward.

Other Appearances
In Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Jet and Sonic have a special team animation, in which Jet does several leaps in the air while Sonic is waving to the audience. Sonic turns to Jet's direction and retracts just as the latter swipes out his hand as he finishes his movements, making Jet smirk while Sonic looks exasperated.

All or Nothing
During the Metal Virus crisis, Amy contacted Jet and the Rogues with help for help with something that could potentially end the crisis. Sonic - who's been fighting a Metal Virus infection - is unenthusiastic about getting the Rogues to help. Arriving on Angel Island - the only place free of the Metal Virus - Jet notes how weak Sonic is before saying he would only join if the reward was big enough. Jet wouldn't budge on this stance until Sonic points out he knows that Jet has an image to keep up. However, Sonic reveals that the plan won't work without Jet's help and says that he, and the world, needs "the Legendary Wind Master". Seeing Sonic needing HIS help specifically finally convinces Jet to help.

Jet is soon filled in on the plan: the Rogues, along with other combat capable survivors, will be sent against individual members of the Deadly Six - the ones currently controlling the crisis - and take the Chaos Emerald they possess. Through process of elimination, Sonic assigns Jet and the Rogues to fight Master Zik but warns them that he's craftier than the rest of the Six combined. Jet simply scoffs and says that he can take Zik without a sweat.

Fanon
Sonjet has some popularity, with plenty of fanart. However, with Jet not being a character from the mainline games, Sonjet is overshadowed by more popular slash ships. The main appeal of the ship is their rivalry dynamic, which is present in more popular Sonic ships like Sonadow and Sonuckles. Sonic and Jet's rivalry offers more pettiness and a focus on racing, which separates it from Sonic's other rivalries. In Sonadow fics, Sonjet are occasionally portrayed as exes.
