A/N: Hey all, here's my first story I've ever written. A lot of you somewhat older members may be wondering why this looks like a case of copyright infringement from code:lyokomaster's old fanfic, titled "Lyoko In Chaos: A New Ally, A New Enemy." Well, don't worry about that too much. I got permission from him to re-write it. He's a nice guy. And that's 'cause he's me! Just thought I'd clear that up. My previous version of the story was never finished due to my young mind drying up on ideas. Well, I'm back, and I'm throwing everything except the basic outline of the old story out the window, and building it back up from scratch. So, under the new alias of HyperSonic02, I present to you a rewrite of my first story, Lyoko In Chaos.

A loud alarm sounded over the entire island. Several red and orange robots hurried into formation, lances at the ready. Dead silence settled over the area as the ERUs came to a halt, save for the sound of a single engine rumbling in the distance. As dusk settled in, a small plane could be seen over the ocean, making its way over the horizon.
"There it is, Sonic! That's Eggman's base!" Tails pointed at the enormous tower on the island before them. Sonic looked down from the wing he was standing on at his long time friend in the pilot seat, and chuckled.
"Well, looks like the party's about to begin," said Sonic, looking up to the other form on the wing, seeing the serious visage on the echidna's face, save for the fire in his eyes whenever a fight is about to start. "Right, Knuckles?" He looked over, a more angry look on his face.
"Just land this thing so I trash this base for good! This is the last time he's ever going to trick me again!" He snorted, looking back at the base. Sonic just shrugged.
"We've heard that before. Good going, getting him the Chaos Emerald."
"Guys, stop! This is no time for fighting!" Tails practically shouted. "We're almost there!" The plane started to descend, both Sonic and Knuckles ready to jump into the action. As soon as the plane went over the beach, they jumped out, landing on their respective targets and starting to either fight or dash their way through the small army of ERUs and towards the base. Tails' flew over the action, circling around and shooting his blasters into the mass of robots, taking several of them out with each pass. Soon, as he approached Sonic, he held out a ring, shouting out.
"Sonic, catch!" He threw it out to him just as Sonic jumped, catching it and starting to glow with energy. He curled up into his signature spin dash ball and started barreling through all the robots in his path.
A few minutes of fighting ensued, and most of the robots were in complete disarray. Sonic met up with Knuckles and Tails, who had transformed his plane into his own walking robot, the Cyclone.
"Sonic, we'll take care of things out here, go stop Eggman!" Sonic nodded and grinned, spinning at great speeds before barreling into the base, a visible hole in the wall as the ERUs started to go after him. They didn't get far as a large robot and one angry echidna stood in their way.

Inside the Base
--------------------------------------------------
Eggman was spastically running from one end to the other in his control room, fearing the worst as soon as the alarm sounded. He frantically put in computer commands into a huge machine in the core of his room. He laughed aloud as he neared completion, holding his most recently acquired Chaos Emerald in his hand.
"Finally, after all these preparations, my Wave Pulse Generator is complete! Let's see how those coastal cities will like it when a giant wall of water crashes down on top of their heads! Now just to insert this final Emera--"
An explosion cut him off as a spiky form stood in the recently-made opening in the control room. Sonic quickly leaped up and bounced off the wall, snatching the blue Emerald out of the evil doctor's hand. He looked back and flashed him a toothy grin.
"Your bases aren't getting much better, Eggman." He chuckled again as the evil genius fumed, nonchalantly tossing the Emerald into the air and catching it.
"Gah, Sonic! This is the last time you're going to make a fool out of me!" Eggman jammed his fist on a button, causing multiple silos to open up on one side of the room. Out of each of them came a missile, quickly training in on the hedgehog and accelerating toward him.
"Whoa!" He shouted out as he jumped out of the way, thinking they would run into a wall or some other obstruction. But they all turned to his new location, homing in on him. He frantically jumped across the room, every now and then a missile would hit something and cause a small explosion. He finally stopped and waited near the core of the room, by Eggman's new invention. Eggman shouted out in protest, but Sonic dashed away at the last second, and before the intelligent missiles could turn around, they made contact with the machine and exploded, destroying it.
"NO! My invention!" Eggman stood there, gawking at his ruined machine. Grunting at his apparent loss, he quickly dashed into his Egg-pod vehicle and quickly flew away out of the broken window, which had probably been destroyed by one of the stray missiles. Sonic quickly gathered up the Emeralds and was about to run out the door, but it was blocked off by debris. The base started to rumble, and explosions were frequent. A last resort crossed his mind, and he instinctively held out the stone he had taken earlier, and shouted two simple words: "Chaos Control!"
However, within that split second of the given command, a black vapor poured out of a live wire that was now dangling, and made contact with the Emerald the moment Sonic vanished in a flash of light.
-----------------------------------
Outside the Base
-----------------------------------
Knuckles and Tails had at last dispatched of the last of the robot army, with the last of them running away to the other side of the island. Knuckles growled and started to give chase. "Come back here you cowards!"
"Knuckles, forget about them! We have to help--"
Tails didn't even have to bother finishing his sentence. The ground shook, and a pillar of light erupted from the top of the tower-like base as a humungous explosion engulfed it. The dust didn't clear for many minutes as they ran to an area safe from falling debris. After it had, they both yelled out "Sonic!" simultaneously and ran over to the rather large crater. Knuckles started pushing and throwing random pieces of debris out of the way, with Tails just sighing as he looked at his screen.
"Forget it Knuckles, he's not here."
"What? But where could he have gone?!"
Tails shrugged. "Maybe he used the Emeralds to get out."
Knuckles crossed his arms and bowed his head down in deep thought. "Then where could he have gone…?"
Tails shook his head, then suddenly ran behind Knuckles, digging into the debris and pulling out the cyan Chaos Emerald. "We could use this to find out! Let's head to my workshop!"
Knuckles punched his fists against one another and jumped back onto the wing of the plane as soon as Tails had changed it back, and they took off.

Unknown Location
--------------------------------
Sonic grunted as he woke up, finding himself lying on the ground. He shook his head as he kneeled and then stood up, the first thing crossing his mind was the fact that he was only holding one Emerald. He frantically checked himself, only finding the blue Chaos Emerald and his ring.
"Well at least I have these…" He trailed off as he looked around, no longer finding himself on the island.
"Wait a second... Where am I…?"

A/N: Well, there you have it, my first chapter of a rewrite of a story I never finished. Maybe I will this time! And if you old members are still out there, if you flame me, don't flame me because my writing style changed. It's been 4 years.
Anyway, I'll be working on the next chapter and maybe it'll be ready in a week, tops. I just started getting back into gear with writing, so bear with me. 'Till next time!
