Hello, everybody! I'm going to make a full rewrite of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic from the very beginning. I'll add some features of my very own, so I'll list the changes below:

- Sonic and the Freedom Fighters will have Bowser Jr. from the Mario franchise as an ally rather than an enemy, unlike in most Mario and Sonic crossovers. I've always seen Bowser Jr. as a hero rather than a villain, as he is a prince. As a consequence, Mario and his friends will be absent from this timeline starting from chapter 2, but they will sometimes be mentioned.

- The story will focus on the character development of the Freedom Fighters, aside from action. It will focus in particular on Sonic and Sally's romance. About it, when Sonic becomes Sally's consort in issue 124, there is no going back; as a consequence, their breakup from issue 134 (known as "The Slap"), doesn't takes place. Bowser Jr. will obsessively support their romance, as such to see other persons who have a crush for them (Amy, Geoffrey St. John, Mina Mongoose and Monkey Khan) as foes rather than friends. They will still be allies, but only when circumstances require and/or if they give up their crush.

- Eggman and Robotnik Prime are one and the same person, like in the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline. As such, it is impossible for Nicole to come from another dimension, meaning that her origins are similar to her Post-Super Genesis Wave counterpart.

- Bowser Jr. will have a liking for Sonic robots. As such he builds his very own Metal Sonic named "Metallix", while the Sonic robots built by Eggman will simply be reffered to as "Metal Sonic". Metallix will start a series of plots, inluding creating his own army of Metal Sonics, known as "the Brotherhood of Metallix", which is much more benevolent than the one from the Fleetway comics, as his plots will be made to support Sonic and Sally's romance, in Bowser Jr's name.

- Tails and Amy are close friends (a favor for SonAmy fans: Tails and Amy are not a couple). Obviously, Tails will still see Sonic as a big brother, and Sally as an aunt, but Amy's friendships are ambiguous, and she will definitely need a friend of her own age, and Tails is the perfect candidate. They become close friends even from the events of Sonic CD, as Tails rescues Amy from the Metal Sonics that kidnapped her in this timeline instead of Sonic, as it is impossible for Sonic to do it himself, because of Metallix's plot.

And now, without further ado, I'll start my series! This first chapter is from Bowser Jr's point of view. The rewrite will start from chapter 2, so don't judge me yet.

CHAPTER 1: PROLOGUE OR THE TIME GOD

It started like an average day. I woke up, ate my breakfast, and went in my family's tower. It had 12 rooms: 7 rooms for 7 Koopalings, one room for Dad, one room for the royal wizard, Grandpa Kamek, one room where we hold Princess Peach captive, one common salon... and one room for me. I entered my room. It had a large TV, a DVD player, and shelves full of DVDs of my favorite cartoons. I picked up one, named "Sonic the Hedgehog". I really loved that series, especially the relationship between the two main protagonists: Sonic the Hedgehog and Princess Sally. It made me wish I could have been on their planet, Mobius, and help them fight their archnemesis, Dr. Robotnik.

Suddenly, I heard a deep, kind voice coming from behind me.

"You're going to watch that cartoon AGAIN? That's the hundred time!" the voice told me.

I turned around to see my father. Dad was a big, mighty Koopa, his arms and legs being only muscles, and I could swear that underneath his massive, emerald green shell, there are even more muscles. Despite his good looking red hair, I realized from the look he gave me with his red eyes that he was in a bad mood.

"Sorry, Dad. I just wish that the cartoon wasn't canceled, so I won't have to watch the same 26 episodes over and over again." I apalogized

"Well, I hope that my latest plot to defeat that bastard Mario can prevent the cancellation of that series as well."

I knew what he meant. Every month, Dad kidnaps Peach, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and tries to convince her to marry him. Before he can succeed, though, an Italian named Mario always comes and takes Peach away from Dad. Mario believes he rescues her, but Dad knows it. Peach doesn't knows whether she likes Dad or Mario more. Once, Dad tricked me into making me believe Peach was my long lost mother, but I figured out the second I've seen her that Dad lied to me only because he wanted me to have a mother.

"I guess it's that time again..." I whispered.

"It is indeed, Junior. And this time, Mario can do NOTHING to stop us!" Dad said confidently.

"You always say that, and yet, we always fail" I said hopelessly

"But we never tried rewriting history. If we succeed, Mario will be ERASED from existence!"

"Rewrite history? You find a Time Stone and now you want to go back in time to warn your past self about Mario?"

"Erm... I tried that once, and I failed."

I knew what he was talking about. Dad always brags that I look just like he looked when he was on MY age. It was dumb from me to think about this theory, as he told me he had an adventure with his baby self.

"Where did you got that idea from, Junior?" Dad asked curiously.

"In "Sonic the Hedgehog", in the saga "Blast to the past", Sonic and Sally tried to stop Robotnik by going back in time and warn Sally's father, the king of Mobotropolis." I answered.

"Again that cartoon! If you keep going like this, you'll end up believing you're part of that cartoon!"

"But what is your "history rewriting" plot?"

"Follow me, son."

We went in Iggy's room. He was busy feeding his dog, Chompy.

"Ah, Lord-Uncle Bowser and Lord-Cousin Junior! You came to see your Chaos Emerald-powered Genesis Wave Generator?" Iggy said to welcome us.

'Chaos Emerald? Does that mean-' I started to think, but Dad cut my thoughts.

"Yes, Iggy. I want to explain my son everything about "Operation: Clean Sweep""

"As you wish, Lord Uncle."

Iggy then uncovered a large machine, onto which it was written "Genesis Wave Generator".

"This beauty has two large buttons: one is to change the timeline the way you wish, and the other one will reset the timeline back to the way it was before the change. However, it can't read minds, so it has a keyboard so you can type in the machine how you want to change the timeline." Iggy explained.

"Very good. I shall make the type-in right away, so I can activate the machine when Mario gets to the castle."

I realized this was my chance. The chance to meet Sonic and Sally personally. After all, if the Genesis Wave Generator was really powered by a Chaos Emerald, that means Mobius was an actual planet, and that I missed it during Dad's two attempts to build his own sun system.

"Dad, can I do the type-in myself?" I asked.

"Erm... Sure. But be careful! Make sure that Mario is erased from existence!" Dad said "While you do the type-in, the Koopalings and I will kidnap Peach. Iggy, follow me!"

After Dad and Iggy left-after all appearances, to kidnap Peach, I profited of my chance to rewrite the timeline the way I wanted. Mario was still erased from existence, but the other changes were different from what Dad wanted.

Here's what I typed in:

Name of planet: Mobius

Kingdoms: Koopa Kingdom, Acorn Kingdom

Acorn Kingdom's capital: Mobotropolis

Inhabitants: 50 million Mobians (including the benevolent King Acorn, his beautiful daughter, Princess Sally Alicia Acorn the Squirrel, and the speedy hero, Sonic the Hedgehog) and tourist Koopas

Status of Sonic: in a love interest with Sally

Status of Mobians: merry

Koopa Kingdom's capital: Neo Bowser City

Inhabitants: 6 million Koopas and tourist Mobians

Status of Koopas: more pacifists, but still great warriors when circumstances require

After I finished, I told myself "Welp, it's done. When Mario will come... I'll see if this works."

Naturally, Mario made it to the castle and defeated Dad and the Koopalings with ease. I was the only one standing between Mario and Peach.

"Junior... Unleash... The Genesis Wave... It's our... Only hope..." Dad said, before he fell unconcious.

As such, Mario and I raced to Iggy's room. But when I thought I won, Mario used a Fire Flower and blasted the generator with a fireball at the exact same moment I pressed the button that was supposed to change the timeline. The fireball caused the machine to malfunction and a blinding light appeared, that light presumbably being the Genesis Wave.

"Oh, for the love of... MARIO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" I shouted.

That's the last thing I remember... After that, it all went white...
