Sonic 25: A fan fiction project
Authors note
I know I am a little late for sonics 25 but as they say better late then never, plus I want to time this out for the release of Sonic Mania plus I found it funny to start this on my own Sonic anniversary as I got Sonic 1 and a genesis for my Birthday when I was 10 and when this fiction is posted will be on my birthday its even more interesting (yes I am 35 years old, but nostalgia is cool to do these days)
This fan fiction project is HUGE and I mean huge, 25 weeks of sonic fanfics with each chapter consisting of 20 pages in Microsoft office worth of material divided into two acts (much like the games there). Barring severe illness I will dedicate myself fully to this project for the next few months.
Note about this fanfiction: This takes place in its own universe and time line so is not going to be cannon in any way. This fanfiction takes the best of sonic and just puts it into a blender from the classic cartoons of the 90's to around sonic adventure 2 with some characters mixed in from all over the Sonic verse.
So yes characters like Princess Sally (dodges tomatoes) to Shadow the hedgehog (endless cheers) are welcome here. Just don't 100% expect game accuracy and you will be fine.
So without delay here is Sonic 25:
Level 1: The Green Hill incident
Act one: Maurice the Hedgehog and the emerald
South island was an island the size of the big Island of Hawaii, this island is one the homes of the peaceful Mobia a race of human like animals.
For centuries, they have lived isolated from the rest of the world but live quietly in peaceful villages and towns.
One of these towns was green hill and it was the home to Maurice Hedgehog who had a special skill that made him unique… he was slow.
In fact, he was the slowest Mobian, he was brown and just blended into the background.
He lived with his uncle Charles Hedgehog who treated his nephew with kindness and love.
He lost his parents some time ago but could not remember why.
"Hello Sonny!" Maurice's uncle cried out seeing his nephew in one of his moods.
Maurice was very hard on himself for not being fast, he was often teased for it as well.
"Hey unc" Said Maurice "have some chili dogs as usual?"
His uncle smiled "well only the best for my nephew, your parents would have done the same for you if they were alive"
"Yeah but something tells me they would lay off giving me so many chili dogs"
His uncle laughed "yes but its not chili dogs I want to share with you, it's actually something I found in the mines the other day"
"You went prospecting again I see" said Maurice
"Well its been a while say six years but if anything is like this is down there I will be back for sure" Uncle Chuck pulled out a blue gem and said "this I think is a chaos emerald"
"A what now?" asked Maurice
"A chaos emerald, don't tell me you have not heard of them in history class"
Maurice shrugged "I usually fall asleep"
Uncle chuck giggled "yes I bet but these babies are very important, it is said who has all of these emeralds shall bring an era of endless peace on the planet and save it from war and destruction"
"How many are there then?" Maurice asked
"Six… though some say there are seven. The records are a little vague, then there is the story of the master emerald who holds the key to freedom."
"Yeah the one that will liberate all if freed., I heard that one" said Maurice
"Bet you have, well why not take this one. My gift to you Maurice for being such a great nephew"
"But isn't that very valuable?" Maurice asked
"Could be, but its safe here right. I don't think anyone's going to take it anytime soon."
Up above the island a large craft began to descend, inside of its cold hard exterior was a large mobile city.
Doctor Robotnik looked down at South island, he knew this is where his destiny would take him.
He was not Mobia to be sure, he was a large round human with a long red mustache and bald head
From behind a robotic hedgehog approached and said with a monotone voice "we are in range my master, target will be reached in two hours"
"Excellent Worker-bot 0190, right on time. After bringing the cure to North island its only fair to bring that gift to others"
The robotic hedgehog nodded "your rule is supreme my master, the disease of freedom must be cleansed"
"Soon Worker-bot 0190 there will be no more need for me to give this cure as all shall have it, no more wars, no more death, no more resisting my supreme order."
"Speaking of those who resist you Master I have one of those who wish to disturb your great order with me."
Worker-bot 0190 signaled and two large robots brought in a lone male Mobian wolf.
"So who is this who dares to destroy the great order I have made?"
The wolf growled "the last survivor of North Island you monster"
Robotnik grinned "you mispronounced that… it is pronounced Master. Swat-bots please show him some manners"
"Yes Master" said the Swat-bots as they put the wolf inside of a large pod nearby, it quickly closed around him as he banged on its glass front.
The wolf cried out "you will pay for this Eggman"
"The name is Robotnik" the large man bellowed "give him the cure please Worker-bot 0190"
"Yes Master" the robotic hedgehog pressed a button and soon a large cry came from the pod.
The wolf looked down in horror as he saw his body become robotic, every last bit of him turned from flesh and blood into metal and circuitry.
The process ended and the newly robotic wolf saluted him
"Worker-bot 19906 reporting for duty"
"Now that you learned some manners what do you call me?"
"Master Robotnik supreme master of all"
"Good Worker-bot 19906, for your resistance you shall be assigned to cleaning duty until called for"
"as you wish master" the robotic wolf marched off as Robotnik nodded
He looked at the ever nearing island below and said "soon all will call me that"
Maurice looked at the blue emerald in his gloved hand, he just kept on staring at it in wonder.
"How can a stupid rock be anything so powerful, I just don't get it"
Maurice then took off his glove and held it once more
But the emerald seemed to do nothing
He sighed as he put his glove back on and put the emerald on his table.
"I just don't get it, I guess legends are just made there to make you laugh huh?"
Maurice then stared at his feet "if I had such power I would not be so slow"
"So shall it be" said a voice
Maurice looked around, the voice sounded female but distant
"Hello?" Maurice asked looking around
But there was nothing
Maurice then laughed as he saw the sky slowly turn black.
Maurice grew curious, night was not for many hours away
He looked outside and saw something… big
No wait it wasn't big… it was gigantic!
It was a large flying fortress of some kind, larger than anything Maurice had seen.
He came outside and saw his uncle.
His uncle stood there looking grim, more grim than Maurice ever saw him.
"So he is back" Uncle Chuck said with a tone of anger "10 years and he has not changed a bit I see"
"Who?" Sonic asked
Uncle Chuck just stared at Maurice and said "that is the command ship of one Doctor Ivo Robotnik"
"Who?" Maurice inquired
"He is bad news, your father fought him. I guess you don't remember that much from when you were five"
"No, I remember mom giving me to you though, but wait did this Robotnik kill my parents or something?"
"Trust me there are worse fates than death"
Maurice was a bit scared off "uh are you alright Uncle Chuck?"
"I am fine but soon none of us will be alright. Say Sonny where is that emerald of yours?"
"On my table, why do you ask?"
"Grab it and run as fast as you can from here"
"But I am so slow Uncle Chuck, if this Robotnik is anywhere near as bad as you say he is then I won't even be able to leave the village before he comes"
"It's okay Sonny, if that emerald really is a chaos emerald then it will be what you need. But keep that emerald hidden and keep it safe because trust me Robotnik is going to want it."
"What about you?"
Uncle Chuck sighed and said "I will stay here, what happens to me doesn't matter just remember I love you very much. Now go before he comes!"
Maurice nodded, he walked back into the house as fast as he could and grabbed the emerald.
Maurice knew that running would not work, he ran at a snails pace plus he knew it wasn't far from the ocean.
Maurice hated water, he was actually terrified of it but he did not know why.
But there was the old tunnel, Maurice walked there from his house and as soon as he reached it down from the sky came many mechanical creatures.
Maurice knew the name for these: robots and lots of them.
There were many of various shapes and sizes, he put the emerald in a satchel as he came in closer.
From above there were pod like machines coming down, as the other robots began to attack the village some came down and captured some of the nearby denizens at least thee or four.
Maurice saw one of them chasing his uncle, his uncle seemed to know Maurice was looking his way as he gave him what seemed to be a wave goodbye, the whatever it was grabbed him and in a few minutes he heard a loud scream.
The odd thing opened and from within emerged his Uncle… but it wasn't his uncle.
The robot that used to be Uncle Chuck spotted him and cried "You shall be cured of your sickness of freedom!"
It came closer, Maurice wanted to run but his slow feet barely moved.
The robot grabbed him as Maurice cried "there is no way you can be my Uncle, you can't be!"
The robot said "you don't believe my masters brilliance, observe"
Before him another pod came down and grabbed another denizen, Large male cat.
It grabbed him and Maurice could see him, he watched in utter shock as the cat became a robot before his very eyes.
"Soon you shall join us" said the robot coldly as one of the pods came down and grabbed him next.
Maurice pulled the emerald out of the satchel and cried "what good you are you hunk of rock!"
As the pod began to energize the emerald glowed, it surrounded Maurice in a protective bubble of some kind and soon the pod exploded.
Maurice felt the emerald pulse in his hand, it started to fill his body with a strange energy and he cried "what is happening to me?"
Maurice's fur slowly became blue, as he landed on the ground the former uncle Chuck stated "this is illogical, all must be cured"
Maurice looked down at his new blue fur and cried "what did the emerald do to me?"
The robotic Uncle chuck then tried to grab him once more
But Maurice actually dodged him, Maurice then started to run… and he did.
Maurice was no longer so slow! He could not believe it but the emerald did something!
Sure his fur was blue now but he was fast.
He then looked at the emerald and said "if this can do this to me it can help my uncle!"
He then started to run back to his uncle but soon he was met by something else.
A large mallet, it hit him in the gut hard as he reared backward.
Before him stood a pink hedgehog, she was dressed in a red outfit with a pair of red and white boots on her feet and two gold armbands on her wrists, she stared at him and said "and where do you think you are going with that emerald blue boy?"
Maurice got up and cried "out of my way!"
The Pink hedgehog laughed "you are not the only one who has seen chaos energy first hand"
She pulled out a pink emerald and said "these are two of a kind my friend but to give it to the enemy is not a bright idea now is it"
The robots soon came in on them, the pink hedgehog laughed and said "oh isn't that cute I am the love of all the guys here"
A female robotic dog came near and the pink hedgehog quipped "okay I guess the girls can have fun too"
The pink hedgehog slammed the hammer into the ground and all the robots nearby including Sonics former uncle were sent back.
"Hey you are hurting my uncle!" Maurice cried
"Sorry but as they say you always hurt the ones you love. Now come blue boy we have to get out of here, I have a hideout nearby."
"But with these powers we can save some people!" Maurice cried out
"We are outnumbered and you know it, Robotnik has an ever growing army of robotic slaves and fighting them directly is no good"
"Well who are you anyway to boss me around then?"
The pink hedgehog smiled and said "I am Amy Rose, the guardian of Princess Acorn and by her Majesty's decree I order you to come"
"no way" said Maurice
"Figured you would say that" said Amy as she quickly knocked him out with the side of her mallet.
Amy stared down at Maurice and said "Oh Amy Rose you have your way with boys don't you"
Maurice woke up, he was in some sort of room with little light and he was quite dizzy.
He didn't know how long he was out but he was very annoyed.
He fumbled to find a light switch but soon light flooded the room anyhow.
"Good morning" said a voice
Maurice never heard this voice before, it was definitely not that of the annoying pink hedgehog who clobbered him.
Into the room walked a Mobia female chipmunk, she was light brown with a large tuft of dark brown hair on her head. She wore a light blue jacket, a white shirt and wore a pair of blue boots on her feet.
"Who the heck are you?" Maurice asked
"Guess you don't pay much attention in school. I am Princess Sally Acorn."
"Whoa, the princess" Maurice was shocked "sorry I didn't know what you looked like"
Sally nodded "that's fine I understand, I will not take it personally."
"But if you are the princess where is the king and his army? Why are they not fighting that Robotnik guy?"
"They are but our army is very small, that is why we are here at Knothole base."
"Never heard of it" Maurice quipped
"That's because it's a secret base"
Maurice knew this voice, it was her that annoying pink hedgehog
"Nice to see you awake again blue boy"
"The name is Maurice!"
Amy began to laugh "oh my goodness, Maurice! What a name!"
"Now don't be rude Amy" Sally chimed "he is our guest"
"More like our moron, he used chaos energy like a fool"
Sally looked on at him "so he did, we will have to get that in our records. With him being the second known being to be braced by the chaos energy this is very big news."
"And let me guess pinkie over there is the first" Maurice teased
"Yes, I used to be gray you know!" Amy cried
"Calm down you kids" said Sally teasingly "this is not an everyday event that someone gets dosed with the power of chaos. This means something, something big. But for now I need your emerald."
"Why?" Maurice asked
"Its safer down here, same with you Amy"
Amy nodded and the two handed their emeralds to her.
"So what are you going to do with these emeralds?" asked Maurice
"Keep them hidden from Robotnik you lunkhead" said Amy
Maurice sighed and asked the big question "so just who is this Robotnik guy anyhow?"
Sally nodded "figured you would ask that. Ten years ago he attacked North island and at least a few others you see and many there were either lost or roboticized"
"Roboticized?" Maurice asked
"Yes you have seen it already, the means of turning someone into a robot."
"Like my Uncle" Maurice said with sadness in his voice
"Indeed, ten years ago we were able to fight him off but he has returned here. We don't know why after ten years he has come off his island but its not good. We suspect that he does know that we have the emeralds and we know what he will do with them."
"Use them for his machine" Maurice spat
"Yes but on a far larger scale, perhaps the whole world"
"But can it be reversed this roboticization thing?"
"We don't know" said Amy "that's why I save you back there, I didn't want to be rude but it was needed to have that Eggman take two more emeralds would be bad"
"Eggman?"
"Our nickname for Robotnik, he hates it" said Sally
Maurice laughed "I can see why but why is this Robotnik doing this anyhow?"
"We don't know be there is one thing we know about him. He is a human" said Amy
"A what now?" Maurice asked
"A human, they live in the outer continents. But not all of them are bad just mislead or unknowing, to them they don't know of Robotnik. He is much threat to them as he is to us."
Maurice nodded "I understand, well whatever this guy is planning I want in on stopping it."
"Well we have a possible plan on stopping him" said Sally "but it won't work without your help"
"Wait your Majesty you want him on this, the guy isn't combat material!" Amy cried
"I know how you feel but these are not good times Amy, we need his help"
"But what about doing anything now, can't we start by saving the people who are left on this island?"
"Yes I was getting to that" Sally walked off and grabbed what looked to be a golden ring
"You see this, we call these power rings"
She handed it to Maurice
Maurice stared at it and said 'what is this for?"
"Think of them as a power source" said Sally you used chaos energy the first time but now your body will need these. You can still eat food and sleep but you would lose your powers if you don't have one nearby."
"Well how come you didn't have these rings?" Maurice asked
"Hello?" Amy pointed at the gold armbands on her wrists
"I see" Maurice "well can these rings take other shapes?"
"Yes they can, why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just asking. But how do the rings give you power?"
"We don't know" said Sally "but they are tied to chaos energy for some reason."
"Well at least its something. For now let me take as many of these rings as you can give me so I can help people"
"No problem" said Sally "but Amy is coming with you"
Maurice sighed "fine, you are the princess I guess"
"but your majesty this guy has not proven he is reliable yet" Amy protested
"Well better see that he is proven reliable" said Sally
She pulled out at least three more rings " take these four rings and move out"
"Yes mam!" said Amy, she took tow of the rings and took off the golden bracelets she had.
The bracelets turned gray as she put on the new ones.
Maurice started to walk off as Sally said "don't worry about her she is always tough around new people"
"I am sure she is" said Maurice holding one ring in hand and the other in his satchel.
He than ran off to catch up to Amy as they prepared to head out.
Maurice followed Amy into an elevator some distance away, they seemed to go down as the elevator came to a stop.
"Bottom floor, menswear, socks and cargo pants" Amy mused
"How far down are we?" asked Maurice
"Several hundred feet, come we have to start hurrying up now"
Amy moved forward to what seemed to be some sort of tunnel.
Maurice followed her and saw that all around them was water, lots of it too.
Maurice seemed to get sick a little and Amy spat "come on slowpoke!"
Maurice grew angry, he hated that name. He began to run closing his eyes, he nearly collided with Amy
"Hey watch it speedy!" she cried
"Sorry I hate water!"
Amy sighed "the things I do for duty." she slowly caught up with him as they soon reached the outside.
"Now keep sharp blue boy the areas around the village are going to be dangerous!"
"You got to stop calling me that, if you are going to call me a nickname call me something else" Maurice spat
"Well then Speedy"
"Fine whatever we will sort it out later just tell me what to look out for."
A couple of robots came out, robots that looked like bugs with wheels at their ends.
"Well how about those, we call those Motobugs" said Amy "they are actually not that dangerous"
She threw her hammer at them and they both were destroyed, the hammer came back to her and she caught it with no effort.
"How did you do that?"
"Chaos energy, but watch out as with Motobugs there come the Buzzbombers" said Amy as she pointed up
Before them came down two robotic looking bee things.
"Time to go into action!" said Amy, she threw her hammer and it launched out of her hands like a rocket, it flew up and destroyed the two robots.
Two more of the "Buzzbombers" came down, Maurice jumped up and hitting one destroying it
"Don't feel bad for these kinds of robots they are mass produced" said Amy "but don't take them lightly!"
Then a robotic caterpillar came out before them
"Yup as a thought a Caterkiller, you have to aim for the head or they will go over the place if you hit the other parts!" she said as she smashed one on its head destroying it.
"You seem to know a lot" said Maurice
"You bet, we had done some homework on ol Eggman." said Amy as she smashed another Motobug.
Maurice wasn't faring too badly, he hit a few more Buzzbombers and Motobugs before colliding into a Caterkiller the wrong way making it fly apart in all directions.
"Oops" said Maurice as he hit its head while trying to avoid the other parts.
Of course, he was new at this sort of thing, but Amy seemed like a seasoned pro.
Maurice pondered why she was like this but figured it was not the time to ask.
After fighting a few more bots Amy said "Green Hill is just over there, we are mainly trying to save stragglers like yourself"
"Did Robotnik already take it over yet?"
"Not fully, but you can bet those left hiding won't be that way for long"
"So when Robotnik is done what will he do to the village?"
"Probably turn it into a factory for slaves" she said "the home you once knew is gone, and this is only the start. He will probably hit Marble Town next"
"That's only a few miles away" Maurice sighed
"Yes but we have to worry about that later" she said the two soon reached the outer reaches of the village as she said "were here"
Maurice could barely believe it, most of the town was gone.
The place he called home was before him being stripped away.
The outer parts of the town near his old home were being demolished, he could see many of the roboticized slaves be responsible for this tearing their old homes down.
Maurice felt the need to go back home but for now stuck with Amy
From house to house they looked in whispering "is anyone in there?"
The two peeked inside each house, carefully opening doors to creep inside.
In one house Amy found a family of two rabbits, a mother and daughter and in another Maurice found a family of six birds.
Quietly they must have gathered at least 20 or so denizens out of hundreds but the speed of Robotniks conquest was fast.
While Amy was escorting others to safety Maurice went to his former home.
He went inside its door, perhaps to collect a memento.
From the kitchen he heard a noise, quietly he peered in the door and saw the robot who used to be his uncle open up cupboards and closets.
Up until now he did not fully see what Robotnik did to him so he looked carefully at his robotic uncle.
Before he was a robot he had blueish grayish fur, now all that fur was gray colored metal.
His shoes were once dark red and white, now they were just all gray with squared off ends. His joints were now gears and his body segmented, as if he was machine all his life made out of a factory.
His uncles gloved hands were the same all gray color as his body, his chest was armored and segmented and as Maurice looked on the worst thing about this was the face.
All of his uncles features were there, his mustache, his eyebrows, his quills but there was no mouth. It too was all gray metal with what seemed to be a speaker replacing what used to be the mouth.
But the one thing that stood out were the black sclera which used to be white and the red glowing irises.
It was those that Maurice took a fearing to, the eyes had no life to them just mindless empty red glowing stare.
Those eyes were illuminating the whole room Maurice saw, as if his former Uncle was scanning for something.
The robot pulled up its right arm and a compartment opened and a face came up from a screen within it that projected outward.
"The former home of this Worker-bot unit is cleared of the sick master and ready for demolition"
"Excellent Worker-bot 20007, rid yourself of your past and usher in your future"
"It shall be done Master" said Worker-bot 20007, the robot began to smash the kitchen apart with its bare hands.
The home they shared for ten years was quickly being wrecked apart by this robot, this thing…
Maurice wanted to try to reason with it, he quietly grabbed a photo of him and his uncle and came in front of the robot.
"Uncle Chuck its me Maurice, please stop!"
The robot stopped its rampage to turn to him
"Infected unit detected, you must be cured!"
That voice, it was definitely not his uncles, it was electronic and almost monotone.
"No I am your nephew, please remember!" he took the photo out and said "look its me, my fur is different but its me your nephew!"
"Sonny..." said the robot, it almost seemed like the robot was going to go back.
The voice seemed a little less monotone, more emotional and the eyes were a little less red now.
"Please Uncle Chuck, remember. You said you loved me, please remember that!"
The robot grabbed the picture, it stared at it for a brief moment and then threw it on the floor and smashed it with its feet.
The eyes were glowing very bright now "Unit Uncle Chuck was obsolete, he had the sickness of freedom but now he is cured."
The robot once more tried to attack Maurice
"No!" Maurice cried
"I must purify you!"
Maurice dodged him but he noticed he was slowing down.
He looked at the ring in his hand and it faded to gray, he quickly got the other ring out as Maurice ran, tears rolled down his eyes as from above a craft began to land.
It landed in the center of the village, Maurice stared on as a large rotund man stepped out.
Many of the enslaved citizens gathered and all chanted in a monotone robotic voice "Long live Robotniks Eternal empire!"
Maurice ran up to the figure, he was livid with anger
"So you are the one who did this, who made everyone your slave?"
Robotnik stared down "yes I am, Doctor Robotnik at your service and who are you?"
"You don't know it yet but today Eggman you have made a very bad enemy, I will do anything I can to stop you. You will pay for what you did to my village and to my Uncle"
"Oh so Worker-bot 20007 is your uncle no wonder why he malfunctioned"
"Malfunctioned you jerk he was fighting to be free again!"
"Freedom is just another word for anarchy, but I am sure your uncle is feeling better now that I cured him of his sickness."
Behind Robotnik Uncle Chuck came up "freedom is a sickness, emotions are a sickness."
"That's right Worker-bot 20007"
"His name is Uncle Chuck!" Maurice had enough and ran to attack Robotnik but his uncle jumped in front of him.
Maurice tried in vain but his Uncle kept on stopping him
"This is why emotions must be purged" said Robotnik "and all must feel the cure to all suffering. And I am the one to provide it!"
"You loon!"
"Such words coming from someone without a name"
Maurice looked around him, his village was nearly gone, his uncle a robot, and his old life shattered by this big fat jerk. Maurice thought if he was going to fight this "Eggman" he needed a new name for himself. He thought for a second as he said "No wrong I do have a name…"
A name soon came up, one he heard long ago but could not remember where.
"My name is Sonic" he said at last, as if that name sounded normal now and as if it was his actual name
"Well that's an interesting name, why call yourself that?"
"Because my uncle called me Sonny, because he loved me like his own son! And I am fast like a sonic boom, just watch Eggman I will bring you down!"
Maurice now calling himself Sonic then started to run, his feet pedaled forward as he quickly ran towards the outer rims of the forest.
Sonic found himself at Knothole base, Amy was there waiting for him.
"So did you have fun back there, I saw and heard everything."
Sonic was not in the mood for her "oh be quiet I don't need to hear from you right now, I put up with you long enough now and I am tired of being teased by you."
"Well good about time you spoke up for yourself." Amy mused " So you call yourself Sonic now nice name by the way."
"Just take me to the princess already its time we had a chat"
Amy nodded and soon they went inside.
Sally awaited the two and asked "well how did your first mission go Maurice?"
"Not good, here have your rings back along with the emerald" said Sonic
"He's calling himself Sonic now" Amy chimed
"Yes nice name" said Sally "but I guess you are giving up now?"
Sonic turned to her
"No" he said with a bit of anger in his voice "but I want to ask something"
"Name it" said Sally
"If I join you will you do your best in helping me free my uncle, Robotniks made this personal for me and I want to take him down"
"We will do our best Sonic, but we'd know very little about the roboticization process it could take years to research it."
"I understand, so got a place for me to sleep I am joining your army now after all"
"Sure, Amy Show him a room please"
"Fine enough" Amy said with a huff
The two walked down a large corridor as Sonic asked "so what is your problem anyhow, did the chaos energy make you into a jerk or something?"
"Very funny, so happens I was always like this. When I was a kid Sally used to tease me about it."
"So you are friends then huh?"
"Yes we are almost like sisters in a way, but obviously we have different parents" she then pointed at a door and said "this room here is you"
Sonic walked inside, it was just a plain barracks with only a few things in it like a bed and a desk.
"Sure it's not Casino Night but you get used to it."
"So tell me how long you have been here?" asked Sonic
"Two years, its kind of my home."
"No wonder why you are cranky"
"Okay fine you got me there blue boy, but I got my eye on you so you know" Amy then left Sonic on his own as he laid back "Uncle Chuck" he said as he slowly fell into a restless sleep.
Above in the former town of Green Hill Worker-bot 20007 was nearing the end of his duty, to gut and strip his former home for material.
He had smashed apart lots of furniture and non needed items, the only thing that was good for was for fuel for the ever growing factory.
He had destroyed every room except one, his former nephews.
He came inside ripping posters and pictures apart, they mattered not in the new order.
He quickly got rid of the entire room except for one item, A photo album.
Inside were pictures of Uncle Chuck and Maurice.
He tore up every last one of them, except for one.
The photo of him and Maurice hugging each other, the same one his nephew shown him earlier.
"It is irrelevant" said Worker-bot 20007, he tore that up and then left the house.
He then jumped into a wrecking machine and smashed it apart.
He then marched to the factory where Robotnik stood before him]
"You were once Charles hedgehog weren't you Worker-bot 20007?" he asked
Worker-bot 20007 nodded
"Thought you looked familiar, well welcome home"
"Thank you Master" said Worker-bot 20007 as he marched inside the large factory which was growing by the minute.
"Soon everyone will live in homes like this" Robotnik chimed as he went back to his landing craft to his command ship.
End of act 1
