SonicX The Cold War Saga
Episode 1: Dawn of Adventure
Note: This takes place in the episode "A Fearless Friend" right after Tails thinks he killed Cosmo.
Location: Planet Mariposa, Vika Galaxy, USA Vika Stronghold
A fleet of 5 US galactic carriers and dreadnoughts housing 5000 individual fighters is ready for just the right moment. A blue alien with a bald head and glowing white eyes walked into the hatch of the ship's control pod, mere miles away from the battlefield.
"General Bomo." All the control specialists became at ease. Bomo began to speak.
"It is an estimated T-minus 60 seconds when the laser from that small ship will fire. Please put your fleets into ready position!"
"Sir yes, sir!" The control specialists unanimously said.
Bomo was confident, but he was also afraid. He knew his ships were specially designed to survive despicable blows, but if for some reason they failed it would cost his faction not only the stronghold but possibly the war. The timer was about to reach 01 seconds. In his fearful confidence, he yelled the word that every general yells before their big moment.
"FIRE!"
Every last control specialist deployed their drones and they, along with their carriers, headed at lightspeed towards the battle scene.
General Bomo watched stressfully as his fleet collided with a small part of the laser. The fleet seemed to go unnoticed by the attacking ship.
"Did it work?" Bomo asked himself, concerned for his soldiers. His monitor rang and it was a message from Carrier #2.
"Package secure. Now returning to base."
Bomo breathed a small sigh of relief. But, that relief wasn't to last long, as another message from Carrier #2 came through on his signal.
"Sir, we seem to have a survivor that latched onto Carrier #2."
Bomo was confused. Nothing could've survived that blast unless it was shielded with hybrid energy. Nonetheless, he followed the standard routine for survivors.
"Do you have a medical team with you."
"Yes, sir. The survivor is on her way to the medical facility on the carrier sir."
"What is the species of the survivor"
"Seedrian sir."
"Status of the survivor."
"She appears to be unconscious with multiple wounds."
"Lieutenant, make sure that she stays alive no matter what."
"Yes, sir. Over and out."
Mistified, Bomo hung up. How could a Seedrian, of all species, survive a blast of cosmic energy? What was she doing outside of her space colony? Questions raced through Bomo's mind when yet again he got a message. However, it was President Harland this time.
"General Bomo, did the mission succeed?"
"Yes, sir. We have the Metarex heart."
"Good, now here's what I want you to do. Have your fleet come back to the Vlantela HQ with the heart contained. Then, you are to report it to our Homeland Security Department where it will be destroyed properly with hybrid energy."
"On it sir. Also, we seem to have found a survivor that latched onto a carrier, sending statistics now."
General bomo sent the statistics to the president's computer. He examined it thoroughly and responded with light shock.
"How the hell could a Seedrian survive a blast that big?- Nevermind just send someone to explain what happened to that ship that was trying to destroy the heart." Said, President Harland.
"Over and out."
Location: Blue Typhoon, Vika Galaxy.
Tails released his finger on the trigger and then broke down crying.
"WHY!?" "I loved her so much!" The devastated fox couldn't bear it. He had killed the one he loved to save the universe. Why would he want to live anymore? The questions racing through Tails' mind were worse than any battle he had ever fought. Sonic, Amy, Chris, Cream, Cheese, and Knuckles immediately came to comfort the devastated fox, but before they could say anything a message transmitted onto Sonic's wristwatch.
"This is Lieutenant Vamix from the Democratic Order." Said the message. "We would like permission to board."
Amy made a face. "The Democratic Order? What do they want?"
"They probably want us to join their side." Groaned Sonic.
"We have something you might want." The message continued.
"We've heard that one before." Said Knuckles. "What is it and why would we want it?"
"It is a Seedrian that we found in space." The message continued. Tails looked up, his face wet with tears. "She tells our medical team that her name is Cosmo."
Tails hopes skyrocketed past the stars, he couldn't believe it. Cosmo was still alive!
"Yes yes! You can board!" Tails yelled excitedly.
A massive blue and black carrier showed up near the Blue Typhoon. Almost three times its size, the carrier slowly drifted closer. A tunnel came out of the carrier, giving Tails and the others the signal that they were about to board.
"Let's bring our weaponry just in case." Suggested Sonic.
"Good idea." Responded Chris. The team grabbed their hammers, guns, and other weapons and walked down to the docking platform. When they got to the door, Knuckles pushed a button and the door opened. The team was greeted by a team of five men in high-grade military armor. It appeared to be rusty steel with a large chest plate and fabric to allow for joint movement.
"My name is Vamix." Said a man with a broad face and red hair. "We would like to return someone that might have been left out in space by mistake." Two men with red crosses on their chest plates rolled in a very injured but awake Cosmo. Tails immediately ran towards the hospital bed, crying joyful tears. "Oh Cosmo, I'm so glad you're okay!" Cosmo's eyes panned to Tails slowly. She smiled at him weakly. She was covered in bandages around her legs and petals. Tails slowly began to hold Cosmo's hand weakly. He couldn't believe what luck he had.
"We also would like to talk about the Metarex heart you were trying to destroy." Vamix continued. The others immediately shot up in disturbance. Amy wanted to grab her hammer, but the soldiers had hybrid guns.
"What do you mean 'trying to destroy', we already destroyed it." Said Sonic, unsure of what they meant.
"You're not on the Metarex' side are you?" Growled Knuckles.
"Believe me, we're not." Vamix continued. "You were trying to destroy it with cosmic energy when it needed to be destroyed with hybrid energy. If the Metarex heart is destroyed improperly it would only scatter about the vast reaches of the universe, making it even harder to vaporize while ultimately making more but weaker Metarex."
Tails jumped in to defend and explain the Democratic Order. "Ok ok. I know you know what the Democratic Order is, and I know that we don't want to be involved in their monkey business. But, according to what they knew about the Metarex heart, maybe they can help us further in our fight against evil."
"But, Tails." Chris interrupted. "Eggman's dead, the Metarex are dead, what more evil do we have to fight?"
The team looked at Chris. "What?"
"So you haven't heard of the USSR?" Asked Cream.
"Must be nice." Followed Sonic. Virtually everyone in the universe knew what the USSR was, but nobody likes to talk about them. Vamix stepped forward and started explaining to the young boy.
"The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics formed in the aftermath of a brutal civil war in the Rodina colony. Their leaders wanted to impose a tyrannical ideology called Communism, which is another word for Socialism, on their subjects. They forced people into hard labor, starvation, torture, anything you would find in a Metarex slave camp, except much much worse. That's why the colonies of the United States of America, Almania, Brimia, Farcia, and Emern formed the Democratic Order, a faction dedicated to ridding the universe of this tyrannical beast."
"You can trust them." Cosmo sputtered weakly in her anesthetic state. "They're fighting hard now to keep my planet from falling under Soviet control, and they built my species a colony." Because of Cosmo trusting them, the others decided to trust them too.
Amazingly, the USSR here was exactly how it was like in Chris' world, only that USSR fell apart before he was born.
"I don't know much about the Democratic Order or this Soviet Union in this dimension," Chris said. "But I will go wherever I must to protect the universe."
"Is everyone else in?" Asked Tails.
"I'm in," Said Knuckles. If somebody's gonna take over the universe, it's not going to be those goons!"
"I'm also in," Said Ami. "I know I joined you guys to stay out of this one conflict, but now that I've been through so more conflicts, I can't pass this one up."
"We're in too!" Said Cream, cheerfully.
"Chao!" Said Cheese.
"It's not even a question." Sonic proudly followed up.
"Then it's settled," Said Vamix. "We will take you to meet your fireteam leader in Vlantela."
Chris looked confused, back in his world, you had to go through a process to get into the military. "Uh… you're not gonna make us go through any training or anything like that?"
"Normally, you would," Said Vamix. "But according to what we've seen, you all are already trained."
One excited pink hedgehog beamed with hope. "Wait a minute, isn't Vlantela supposed to be the most beautiful place in the universe?"
"It is, ma'am." Said Vamix. "Everyone, we are preparing to enclose your ship inside our carrier. We are estimated to reach Vlantela within 40 seconds of takeoff."
Sonic furred his eye. "40 seconds!? How do you expect to go across the universe in 40 seconds!?" Sonic was fast, but there was no way he would reach that kind of speed.
"Just wait a minute and we'll show you." Said Vamix, winking his eye. After a few seconds of preparing, Vamix signaled to the captain of the ship that they were ready. "Alright captain, prepare for lightspeed." The bright clusters of stars seemed to stretch and soon they were in a blue and purple wormhole-like environment.
Sonic and his team were staring out the window while Tails was comforting cosmo in the medical room. She had begun to recover from the anesthesia and was chatting with Tails about her decision.
"I'm so glad you're still with me!" He said, holding her hand.
"I am too." Replied Cosmo, smiling. She never thought she would still be alive, especially after she told her own crush to shoot her. It was originally to help destroy the Metarex heart, but now she realized she put herself in danger for no real point. "I'm so sorry, I almost made you shoot me." She said weakly.
"It wasn't your fault," Tails said trying to comfort his beautiful love interest. "If anything it's me. I should've done more research on the Metarex shards. I shouldn't have tried to destroy it with cosmic energy." Before they could finish their apology session, the Vlantela military transportation intercom turned on with a robotic female voice.
"Now arrived at Vlantela Shipyard. Please make sure all passengers are departed before storage."
Sonic peeked into the medical room. "Hey guys, we're here."
Tails looked over. "We're coming, but can you get one of the medics to take her to another hospital for recovery."
Location: Vlantela, United States of America
Sonic, Chris, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, and Cheese went to walk around the city. It was even more beautiful than anybody could have ever imagined. There were silver painted bridges arching over a very large canal and a tall, white angel statue. Beings of all species were walking from place to place, Hedgehogs, Foxes, Echidnas, Cats, Humans, you name it. There were also plenty of stores, many of which Amy went berserk over.
"Alright Amy, I've seen you on a shopping spree, but I've never seen you this crazy." Said Sonic.
"Well you just see how I look in all of these outfits and maybe you'll finally see why shopping is the best thing in the entire universe!" Said Amy, sternly.
Sonic wanted to come back saying, 'Or maybe you'll finally find out that your sense of fashion is a waste of your money' but he decided not to fight any longer. After all, he had to save his energy for the USSR's soon-to-come blowout. Sonic clenched his fists at the thought. He still remembered the time when he last saw his father, Siesmo. He was shot down in the Kororian Belt by USSR-Eggman coalition fighters while he was in the military. Sonic longed to see his father again. In fact, his father's death was one of the main reasons he started his team. Whatever it took, he was going to make sure that the USSR and the Communist-controlled government in Rodina ceased to exist.
Location: US war room, Vlantela.
Once the Metarex heart had been completely neutralized, the NHS hospital had brought Cosmo to full recovery. It turned out she just needed some fracture mending in her ribcage. Along with other minor procedures. Nonetheless, she was up and at it again. Tails and Cosmo were in the part of the war room that was open to the public. Tails pointed to a colony that looked like two halves that should be together. "This is where my family is from." Said Tails. "Almania."
Cosmo stared at the map. It looked just like her country which had been split by the Soviets. "Tails?" Cosmo looked up at him.
"Yes, Cosmo?"
"You seemed to know a lot about the Democratic Order back on the Blue Typhoon, is this the reason why you didn't tell us earlier?"
Tails started to have minor flashbacks. "Yes." He answered, a tear forming in his eye which Cosmo noticed. "Tails, are you alright, you're crying."
Tails looked over at Cosmo. "N-no." He stuttered. "Okay fine I am crying." He started to cry more.
Cosmo put her arm around Tails' shoulders. "Can you tell me what's wrong?"
Tails struggled to keep from sobbing. He had been trying to forget what happened to his family since he was four years old.
"My family, *sniff* *sniff* saved me." Tails whimpered. "I can't imagine how much pain and suffering they're going through under Communist-controlled Almania." He started to picture his mother, his father, and his older sister being tortured by some Rodinian spy police officer. This thought caused Tails to form even more tears. "Um… *sniff* They sent me away when the USSR invaded. And now," Tails was about to burst. "They're trapped *sniff* and I can't see them again!" Tails just lost it at this point. Big, fat tears were pouring out of his eyes as he started sobbing his eyes out. Cosmo felt her heart swell with sorrow for her young fox friend. "Oh, Tails, I feel just how you feel about my family." She started to cry too. They both cried on each other's shoulders until a familiar voice came from behind Tail's back.
"Tails?" The voice said.
Tails suddenly perked up, the last time he heard that voice was when he was in his foster school. "Evan?" Said Tails, sadness still in his voice.
"Yes, that's me. We just disintegrated the Metarex heart, now that crazy band of bots is gone for good!" Said Evan, proudly.
Tails looked over and his eyes grew wide. The last time he saw Evan, he was two. Now he looked to be about sixteen. Stuck in his sad state, he went over to hug Evan. "Wow, it's been so long, what happened with you."
Evan smiled. "Well I worked my way up in the military rankings and now I'm a fleet general. I've heard that some of you want to help us fight the USSR."
Cosmo stepped in. "Yes we do, I myself am a Seedrian from the colony of Vietine."
"I can see," Evan said. "Aren't there supposed to be more in your group?"
"Well, yes," Said Tails. "Sonic is with us too, along with a few others."
Another smile formed on Evan's face. "Sonic? Well, we better get you guys a ship as soon as possible."
"Oh, no need," Said Tails waving his hands lightly. "We have one, it's called the Blue Typhoon."
Evan smirked and looked down at the two. "Does it travel through hyperspace?" He said, expecting a "no" answer.
"So that's what we went through to get here." Said Cosmo.
"I guess we do need a new ship." Followed Tails.
"Come with me." Said Evan. "And, if you can, call your team too."
Tails turned on his watch and contacted his team.
"What's up Tails," Sonic said as if there was a problem.
"Hey guys, do you remember Evan Sutton?" Tails asked.
Amy was the next one to speak. "Uh… wasn't he your old friend at foster school?"
"Yup," Tails said. "Now he's in the military, and he wants to show us a new ship."
Since this was Tails' old friend, they saw no reason not to trust him. "Ok, we have your coordinates and we'll be there in a flash.
Location: Hanger #12, Vlantela
The team walked into the dark, unlit hanger where they could see a silhouette of a large US carrier. Evan pulled out a remote and pressed a button. The team was suddenly met with a large blast of light that burned the black curtain off of the ship. There stood a 500-foot silver ship with neon blue energy stripes over its wings and cockpit. Tails stared in awe at the massive ship that even he wouldn't be able to build. The others did the same.
"Behold," Evan Said. "The Millennium Dawn, a multi-room spacecraft complete with advanced weaponry, hyperspeed jump ability, and grade A rooms. My personal ship."
Cream spoke up. "Wow, this ship is ours?"
"Well, not totally." Said Evan. The others began to stare at him, confused. They thought this was completely their ship now.
"This still is my ship. I'm just letting you guys into my fireteam."
Sonic couldn't believe it. He was going to be fighting for the Democratic Order. "You ready Knuckles, Amy, Chris, Tails, Cosmo, Cream, and Cheese?" He asked boldly.
"Ready as we'll ever be, Sonic!" Said Knuckles.
"Me too!" Said Amy. "We're ready."
"Alright." Said, Evan. "Grab your belongings and meet me at the Millennium Dawn." He started walking towards the ship.
"C'mon!" Said Tails, let's go get our stuff out of the Blue Typhoon." The team followed Tails to the Typhoon, which was in the storage hanger, and grabbed their clothes, pictures, devices, anything they could find.
Once they had everything, they met back with Evan, who was waiting at the door of the ship.
"Alright, before we embark on our journey, I would like you all to know that you are with the Democratic Order now and you are to fight for the cause of freedom and justice no matter the consequences." Said Evan with seriousness.
"We understood that before you said it," Said Sonic. "USSR, meet your worst nightmare!"
Evan looked down at Sonic and saluted him. Sonic saluted him back with a smile, and when he turned to face his friends, they saluted too. They walked into the automatic sliding door one by one.
"Wow, this place is even bigger on the inside!" Said Cream.
"Chou!" Cheered Cheese.
Evan walked over to a seat right by the windshield with multiple controls. "Everyone hop into your seat of choice and put on your safety belts." He commanded. The team did just that, somehow not noticing the two other people next to Evan.
The boy to Evan's left spoke into his control panel. "Millenium Dawn request for takeoff at hanger twelve."
Almost immediately, a medium-sounding alarm whirred as the front doors to the hanger revealed a runway.
Sonic, Tails, Cosmo, Amy, Chris, Cream, Cheese, and Knuckles braced themselves for the massive force of pushback that was to come.
"Is everything ready guys?" Asked Evan to his two unknown partners.
"Fuel tank is full, thrusters are ready, weapons are loaded." Said the boy to his right.
"In 3… 2… 1… GO!"
With a flash, the Millennium Dawn blasted off from the runway with no hesitation. Everyone could see Vlantela shrinking and shrinking as they moved away from the glorious city.
Sonics team all looked at each other, smiled, and nodded with determination. They all knew that this was going to be the best, most intense adventure they ever had.
