Summery: Long ago there was the seven creators of the Chaos Emeralds. Having died, they return in the time of Sonic. Hilarious plots and conversations come to life as six of the seven strive to restore Shadow's lost memories. Shadow/OC, Silver/OC, Manic/OC.
First off I just have to point out that Amy is stupid, but has some point. She mistakes Shadow and Silver for Sonic, right? Well, I had a though about maybe Sonic somehow has Shadow's DNA in him, making it so that Sonic can use the Chaos Emeralds and everything like that. If that theory is somehow correct, then maybe Amy has Midnight's DNA in her, making her stronger than that of a normal hedgehog. It would explain some things… for Sonic and Shadow anyways.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Sonic Team, but Midnight, Dusk, Blade, Maniac, Kero, and Aero are my own creations
In a time past, seven mobians gathered; Shadow the Hedgehog, Dusk the Fox, Blade the Echidna, Maniac the Hedgehog, Kero the Hedgehog, Aero the Cat, and Midnight the Hedgedna. These seven formed a band that was feared and was called the Band of Darkness. Wherever these seven went, disaster soon followed. However, these seven wished not to harm the people of their world, so they each sealed their power into one of seven gems. Shadow sealed his into a green gem, Dusk to a purple one, Blade to red, Maniac to light blue, Kero to yellow, Aero to dark blue, and Midnight to white. These gems then became known as the Seven Chaos Emeralds, which were hidden at the far corners of the world.
The seven realized that the emeralds could be used for great evil, so they poured what was left of their power into a giant green gem, the power to stop the Chaos Emeralds. The giant gem became known as the Master Emerald. With their powers all but drained, the seven tried living normal lives, but the fur color they had made it all but impossible.
They planed on moving to a new world, but knew they would die after arriving, but with the growing evil in their world of demons, hell fire, and burning rain, they had no choice. Gathering up the Chaos Emeralds, the Master Emerald, and what few survivors there was left in the world, they disappeared in a bright flash of light to a planet called Earth. But in the transit, some of the survivors were lost in time and ended up on Earth centuries before the seven, populating this new world with mobians who had all forgotten the peril of their original home.
Scattering the emeralds once again and placing the Master Emerald in the care of an echidna tribe, the seven split to find eternal rest, unaware that the humans of this world were bent on making ultimate warriors from their blood.
What the humans didn't know was that destiny was already set in motion, and reincarnation would already happen, sooner than they thought.
Sonic the Hedgehog couldn't believe his eyes when he first saw that dark hedgehog, Shadow. Shadow… the hedgehog who could control time and space with Chaos Control, the hedgehog whom he bore such a resemblance too. Their first meeting was long ago, fighting each other and coming up equally matched. Sonic sometimes wondered if he somehow had Shadow's DNA in him, seeing as they were the only two he knew of that could harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds. So deep in his thoughts Sonic didn't notice the rustle of moving plants until a voice called out to him.
"Sh-Shadow? Is that really you?"
Annoyed at the thought that this was Amy and she was just being stupid and a dumb broad for getting them mixed up again, he turned towards the voice and was about to give her a talking to when he noticed it wasn't Amy. Oh no, it wasn't Amy as all, unless Amy had decided to go evil.
Before him stood a black female hedgehog with emerald eyes, a mop of messy violet bangs, violet rimming the outside of her eyes, long quills hanging down and each streaked with ruby, peach arms, and legs with a ruby streak down the outside of each one. The strange female wore knee-high black boots with a white streak down the middle, a black skirt with silver lining, a purple tank top which exposed her peach belly, white and purple racing gloves, and black and red goggles perched on her hair like a headband. Sonic noted with some confusion her crooked tail and glasses perched on her nose. She stood there looking at him in confusion.
"Er… no, I'm not that faker…" Sonic mumbled, embarrassed for some reason.
"Faker? You must know him if you call him faker. Tell me, do you know where I can find him?" Then, mumbled under her breath she added, "I can't seem to pick up the green emerald's signal anywhere…"
"Yea, I know that Faker. I'm Sonic, by the way. Sonic the Hedgehog! I don't know where that faker is. And you can sense where the Chaos Emeralds are?" Sonic asked, surprised.
"I'm Midnight, Midnight the Hedgedna. And, why yes I can sense the emeralds, all seven of us can… but I doubt that this world can remember how they came to be. Sorry to waste your time… Sonic. Thank you for your help" Turning around, Midnight made to take her leave.
"Wait! Hedgedna? Seven? Who are you really and what are you talking about?!"
She turned around, a weird gleam in her eye which reminded Sonic of a wise person's eyes. "Tell you what, 'hedgehog who reeks of Chaos and darkness', if in your time Hellfire and demons ever ravage this world like that had mine in times long past, then I will answer all your questions that I can, okay? Know this, however… In you is DNA of Shadow, one of the seven who came to this world hundreds of years ago. So Shadow is not the faker here, Sonic, you are." Turning again, Midnight disappeared in a bright flash of light.
"Chaos Control… I've got to tell Tails!"
Meanwhile, Tails was dealing with doppelgangers of his own. A fox of purple fur, long ebony hair, and sky-blue eyes looked at him, twin tails flicking behind him. He wore black and blue goggles, red and white boots and gloves, and a grey and black short-sleeved hoodie barely hiding a leather collar around his neck. With him was a grey hedgehog with white hair tied together at ankle length, and golden eyes. He wore grey and blue goggles, a dark blue sleeveless top, blue tinted sunglasses, blue gloves with white streaks on them, and white and grey boots. Both of them looked at Tails in wonder and confusion from across a table at the Burger Queen in Station Square.
"So..." started Tails nervously, "Who are you two?"
"Dusk the Fox"
"Kero the Hedgehog"
"And… what exactly do you want with me?" Tails asked, picking randomly at a fry on his tray, grease staining his gloves.
"We wish to know why you smell exactly like Dusk here." Kero answered, and then asked. "Who are you, kid?"
"I'm Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails. I don't know why I smell like your friend there, and I can't really help you out on that. I could take DNA tests, if you wish, but my specialty is working on machines like planes and robots."
A bright flash of light, then Midnight appeared. She stopped when she saw the three, sniffed, then looked between Tails and Dusk.
"Another one?"
"What do you mean, another one, Midnight?" Dusk asked
"I was towards the ocean when I swear I smelled Shadow, but whe-" she was cutoff
"You found Shadow?"
"Why do you smell like Amy?"
"Kero shut up and let me continue." Midnight said, glaring in Kero's direction. Turning towards Tails, her expression softened and she took a seat next to him. "I don't know who this Amy is, kid, but the fact that I smell like her, and Dusk smells like you… as well as that... who was it, Sonic? Yes, Sonic, who smells like Shadow means that someone took our DNA and got it into you guys." Turning away from Tails, she looked at Kero. "This means that there might be someone running around smelling like you, Aero, Maniac, and Blade."
"The grey hedgehog… Midnight, his name was Kero?" Tails asked
"Yes. What's your name, by the way?"
"You can call me Tails. But anyways, Kero smells like Silver, or Silver smells like him. You guys look like the people you smell like, or smells like you. Could you tell me what the other three look like, I might be able to help you."
"Have Kero or Dusk tell you, I must be off. Kero, Dusk, I'm off to visit the echidna tribe to check on the Master Emerald. Something doesn't feel right." Another bright flash and she was gone.
"Anyways, kid, let's see… Blade is an Echidna. He's brown with violet eyes, spikes coming out of his knuckles, wears a lot of red, yellow, and green if I remember right. Real calm and sees through lies. Maniac is a Hedgehog with grey fur, messy green hair, and orange eyes. He likes orange things and loves music. Aero… god, she was the first to go… a Cat, black fur with lavender hair and gold eyes. She could control wind and could make wings appear on her back at will. That's all I remember, any of it sound familiar?
Knuckles was not one happy echidna, he was far from it. Here he was sleeping in the warm sunlight on Angel Island when SPLASH! The freaking island falls into the ocean once again. Looking around and spotting a lone green shard on the ground, Knuckles groaned and kicked at a pillar. Figures something like that would happen, he had just gotten it back together from when it got shoved up Biolizard's ass and someone goes and smashes it again. If it wasn't for the fact that he was protecting the damn thing for when the seven came back, he would have left it long ago.
Oh well, he might as well start looking. He felt a few shards in the direction of the Mystic Ruins. Crossing the bridge, he was gone before anyone, if there was someone, could stop him.
Manic the Hedgehog couldn't help but stare at the hedgehog in front of him. They both looked the same except the other one wasn't green fur, green hair like him, but grey fur, green hair. They had orange eyes, wore orange clothing and shoes, and were listening to Crush 40 on their music players. The other called himself Maniac. Hm… Manic and Maniac, two long lost twins to each other? No… Maniac was older… Manic couldn't really explain it. Maniac's body was as old as his, but his eyes were old, they reminded him of Uncle Chuck's eyes, only these holding a lot more knowledge. Maniac tossed the light blue Chaos Emerald between both hands lightly as he looked into Manic's eyes, as if reading his every thought…
Blaze couldn't believe it. She had lost track of Silver, AGAIN. For all she knew he was levitating on cars using them as surfboards, or hurling trees at Sonic for no good reason. She knew that Silver could take care himself, but she also knew that Silver was young, and acted on rash thoughts without thinking things through. Blaze kept walking, then wondered why she was on her ass, sitting on the dirty street which was staining her pants. Looking up, she looked into a mirror; except Blaze knew her fur color wasn't black.
Scrambling up, her 'mirror self' got up as well, dusting off its pants when Blaze did. Blaze reached out to touch the other, and the dark one did the same. Fingers touched, warm and slightly pulsing from the blood flow. They mirrored looks of surprise, cocked their heads, and then spoke at once
"Who are you?"
They went to speak again, but the black one put a finger to Blaze's lips.
"I am Aero, keeper of wind spirit. I have in my possession the deep azure Chaos Emerald and I am looking for Blaze the Cat, keeper of the Sol Emeralds, keeper of fire spirit, although I am correct in thinking that is you?"
Blaze nodded, taking in the features of Aero. Black fur with lavender hair tied into pigtails, stripes here and there, and golden eyes. She wore an outfit similar to Blaze's, but with a black and green jacket with a green dress under it, and black and green shoes similar to Blaze's own. It was almost as if Blaze were looking at herself from a different time.
"You are I, Blaze. We are both the same, yet different. We are from the same world, one bathed in hellfire and taken by demons. Yet, from different times, when the Chaos Emeralds were made and Iblis was only a thought, when the worst demons were what you and Silver fight everyday." At Blaze's surprise, Aero continued, "Oh yes, I can see into your mind. I knew it all when we touched. I wouldn't worry, Silver should be fine, and meeting his past self soon enough. They shall be drawn together, as Sonic and Shadow had been…. However, poor Shadow has yet to regain his memories of past life."
"You mean… there's more of you people?"
"Yes. Legends passed through your family speak of the Band of Darkness, correct? The creators of the Chaos Emeralds and creators of the Master Emerald?"
"Yes, they do. They speak of seven mobians, one to each of the Chaos Emeralds, and how they caused death and disaster wherever they went. But the legend doesn't tell their powers, why they caused the disaster, and why they disappeared." Blaze looked at her in confusion. "But you know, don't you. You're one of the seven, aren't you? Your power is the power of the blue Chaos Emerald, isn't it?"
"Each of the Chaos Emeralds holds a power. Blue is Wind, white is Fire. I can tell you no more, but the seven disappeared coming to this world. They died here, and were reincarnated into the seven again; Shadow, Blade, Dusk, Maniac, Midnight, Kero, and myself are the seven, controllers of Chaos itself. The ones that were infused with our DNA from either humans before birth, or coming in contact with a Chaos Emerald before birth were also reincarnations of ourselves… the Yin and Yang of the spectrum, if you please"
"I don't get it." Blaze stated, looking more confused each minute.
"Take into example you and I. You have my essence in your blood, why I am a direct reincarnation of myself. I hold great but terrible power. I would be the dark one. You hold great and wonderful power. You would be light. It's the same with all of us 14. You, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Dusk, Knuckles, Blade, Silver, Kero, Amy, Midnight, Manic, Maniac, and I. Each pair dances to and from the light and dark side, never resting until one is dead. In which… the other dies as well. Each pair gets an element; each pair can find its other without a thought. We are all tied together by Chaos."
"I still don't understand. Why does when one die, the other dies as well?"
"The scale tips," Aero answered simply
Meanwhile across town, Silver was busily doing exactly the sort of thing he wasn't to do; mentally flying cars around, hurling rocks at people going by, making fire hydrants explode, and catching fire in his mind-bubbles, making them fly around like fire spirits. Basically Silver was enjoying his short freedom while Blaze was gone. Spying Sonic, Silver levitated down in front of him.
"Hey there, Iblis Trigger!"
"Shut up Silver. You seen Shadow?"
"Shadow?"
"The one who looks like Mephilles, dumbass!"
"Oh, the angsty hedgehog. Did you try the Waffle House?"
Sonic was confused. "Waffle House?"
"Yeah! He loves waffles!"
"Yea, whatever you say." Sonic thought a minute. "Hey, you wanna do me a favor?"
"Depends, I'm kinda busy"
"Go 'play' with these weird mobians okay? One of them looks a lot like you. Maybe you'll have fun?"
"So… what's the catch?"
"I need enough time to find Shadow!"
However, when Silver found Kero, Dusk, Blade, Tails, and Knuckles sitting at a table in front of the local Burger Bell, he did not mess with them. No, he got them to join him in flinging French-fries at people walking by. Silver couldn't comprehend how Tails and Dusk had made a working food launcher out of straws, napkins, a rubber band, a spoon, and some gum.
After a while Silver noticed that Kero was looking at him and had been looking at him for a while.
"Hey kid… your head reminds me of marijuana… If I set you on fire will I get high?" A small smirk tugged at Kero's lips when he said this. Suddenly there was a lit match held up to Silver's quills.
"Huh He-WAIT! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!"
"Aw, you're no fun kid! Loosen up a little."
"Shut up Kero." Blade finally spoke, voice low and calm
"Yeah Kero! It doesn't help that you're a little crazy!" Dusk also spoke up, looking up from a mess of trash he was working on with Tails
"Hey hey HEY! I'm not crazy!"
"Only crazy people would read that crap you read!"
Kero was about to retort when Dr. Eggman floated by holding a few Master Emerald shards. At this Knuckles went crazy and left to go after him while screaming something along the lines of "Shovel Claw" and "Ass".
"Anyway… you say that to Midnight too! We're not crazy because we read lots of Yaoi!"
"What's… Yaoi?" Tails asked
Dusk looked around at the others as if expecting them to answer. When no one spoke up, Dusk sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Er… how can I explain this… you know what Manga is, right?"
"Yea! I read it sometimes… I really like Vampire Game"
"Well… Yaoi is a type of manga that's only about… guys…"
"Like Ouran High School Host club?"
"No… like man and man pairings…"
Tails was confused. "I don't get it."
"Let's see… You know when a man and a women love each other?"
"Yep!"
"Yaoi is the same except it's a man and man in love with each other, and the manga is usually graphic in nudity and sex"
A look of realization appeared on Tails' face. "Oh! So that's the manga Sonic has!"
Silver, who at that moment was drinking some unknown soda, suddenly sprayed the sticky liquid all over the face of a random passerby in shock. The said passerby wasn't so happy, but no one cared.
"Maurice has Yaoi?!"
"Who the hell is Maurice?" asked Manic as he walked up with Maniac in tow
"Someone call my name?"
Everyone turned around to find Sonic standing there next to a very confused Shadow, the latter eating a Twix bar. All six dark furries, Midnight, and Aero somehow getting there, looked at Shadow and cheered. Shadow, being the forgetful one he is looked at them in confusion before looking at Sonic in confusion.
"Your name is Maurice?"
"Yea… WHAT ABOUT IT?!"
"That's gay. You're gay. Faker."
"YOU'RE THE FAKER!"
"Shut up, faker."
"Yeah, faker!"
Shadow looked at Midnight, who he didn't know, the latter pointed at Scourge the hedgehog that was just there.
"Screw you, I'm not even in the damn story"
"Shush Midnight. It seems Shadow doesn't remember"
"No shit Blade I could tell that by the way he ignored us"
"We could take Fluffy from him"
"NO!"
Sonic looked at Shadow just in time to see him clutching his green emerald possessively. Glaring at Dusk, something clicked in Shadow's mind
"Didn't you all die?"
"Hey crazy lady, you're right. He doesn't remember you guys" Sonic said thumbing his nose. "Or maybe you've got the wrong hedgehog. But seriously…" Sonic looked at Shadow "You named your emerald 'Fluffy?'"
And there's the end of the prologue! Thanks for reading and I promise I'll start working on 'Chapter one: Book of Water' as soon as I can! Please tell me if I used too many page breaks. I love reviews!
