***((Author's Note))***

((This was an old fanfiction I found while cleaning out my room. I decided to re-write it here because it had a storyline, but was in a 10 year old grammar/format. Enjoy the messed up fanfiction that is this one guys.))

Another one of Eggman's robots had been defeated by none other than the blue blur himself. As the evil scientist was groveling, in his own self pity, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see a woman, tall in stature, with her arms crossed. She was wearing a lab coat, with a grey turtleneck sweater over her charcoal black skirt. Her heel kicked the discarded part of the robot Eggman had built.

"Snively was right. You really are pathetic." She scoffed, moving her white hair away from her face.

"Snively left years ago… and who might you be?" Eggman asked confused by her being in this random place.

"Faust is my name and Let's just say that I am here to help." Faust replied to him while holding out her hand.

Eggman hesitated before taking her hand. "Why do this?"

"An eye for an eye. That blue rat took something from me and I want it back."

Meanwhile Sonic and the gang were heading back after having another victory. Tails flew his Tornado One plane, while knuckles and Sonic stood on the wings of it. As the plane landed Sonic remembered something he snagged for tails to look at. He handed the flash drive to his fox friend as they got off the plane. Tails noticed the flash drive looked to be more advanced, but there were runes on it that he couldn't pick out. While Sonic and Knuckles began chatting, he went inside to see what was on it. As Tails put the drive into his computer it instantly emitted a distress beacon. A map was pointing to a location with longitudes and latitudes on it.

"What was on the drive little buddy?" Sonic asked curiously while walking inside.

Tails showed him the map, "It looks like a rescue mission on one of Eggman's bases." and Sonic took the map.

"Then we should get going. It should be easy enough while he's building another robot." Knuckles held the door open, awaiting them to exit.

"Well it is strange. It's at one of the abandoned bases." Tails explained and Sonic knew that this was too familiar.

"So, it's a trap for us then? What else is new?" Sonic chuckled and headed out. "I can probably deal with this trap on my own. You guys can relax for a bit."

Before Tails or Knuckles could say anything Sonic had left. Tails sighed as he began decoding more of the file. Knuckles noticed the flash drive had runes on it that he had only seen in one place. Sonic had arrived at Eggman's abandoned base and it definitely was abandoned. The metalic building were rusted and the structure was falling apart. Vines had started to cover some parts of the building while he made his way through the rubble.

"Why would someone be here?" Sonic asked aloud, but noticed a large robot in front of him. "This looks like Egghead's, but somethings different..."

The robot was a metallic silver with what looked to be ivory or granite mixed in with the metallic armor. Its arms were slender, but its body was big at the top and smaller at the bottom. The robot's head was a diamond shape with a helmet that had a hole in it. The robot had been there for a long time because it was completely encased in vines and leaves. Sonic put his finger to the robot's armor and noticed the accumulative dust that was on it.

"This can't be Eggman's… it's too old." He began to hear a voice coming from the corridor behind him. "Hello?"

Sonic began following the voice, every turn the sound made itself known in a different location. He followed the voice, not noticing the walls becoming darker, and then the voice getting louder. The voice began to cry out for help and Sonic picked up his pace. When he got closer to the voice it changed into different disorenting people crying and weeping. Sonic still moved forward until he reached a broken door. When he entered the room the voices ceased abruptly.

A shiver went up his spine as a strange feeling went over him. "That was ...weird…" he bumped into another robot from the first room. "Another one?" Sonic noticed as the light peeked through the room was filled with them. They all pointed to the wall to his left. Sonic made his way there and noticed they were cells. All of them were open except for one that was locked.

"This must be it."

He looked around for a key of sorts to open the cell when the light peering into the room made something on the middle robot glisten. "Ah!" Sonic dashed up to the top of the robot and saw the helmet it wore had an emblem on it. "Thank you my friend! I will return it to you soon." He replied, taking the diamond piece out, and hurrining back to the cell. Sonic put the diamond ensignia into the cell keyhole. It unlocked and the cell door slid open and crumbled.

Sonic was surprised, "I-it's a girl!" and he rushed to see if she was alive.

The girl was a lynxe cat with rose gold fur and dark brown hair. She was wearing a faded teal shirt and boots. Around her neck was a lanyard with a name on it. Crystal. Sonic assumed it was her name as he realized she was unconscious. "Okay, let's get you out of this place." Sonic said, picking her up bridal style, and running out of the facility.

"So, we just let him go?" Eggman says, perplexed by his new assistant's plan.

She smiles devilishly, "Patience is a virtue doctor." and began pulling up a blueprint. "You thought of a robot army have you not?"

Eggman nodded as he scanned her plans. "This is a strange biotechnology...these theories haven't been tested yet!"

"Oh they have made progress, but the experiments were deemed too inhuman. That's where we step in."

Sonic arrived back at home and Amy took the girl he found to get examined for injuries. Tails was noticing that Knuckles knew the markings or runes on the drive that were now on the screen. Knuckles had seen these before, but not on Angel Island nor Babylon. It was a forgotten nation that had been said to be extinct for eons. Nevertheless, he tried to decipher the messages on the screen to the best of his abilities. Sonic walked in to the wall of HQ now with writing on it. One was their native language, babylonian, and another that seemed to be gibberish. He tapped Tails on the shoulder.

"Uh, why are we writing on the walls?"

"It'll wash off. We just needed more space." Knuckles explained as he was reading from a journal tails had written in.

"So, what did you find?" Tails asked Sonic about the mission.

Sonic scratched his head, "I-uh, found a girl in a cell. It was also filled with these old robots and runes like what it on the screen" and heard a crash outside the door.
