So here it is! The long-awaited sequel of Sonic Reborn which you guys have been asking me to do since the series ended. Now, I will cover the upcoming Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces games in due time. But in the meantime, I'm going to cover the Sonic Boom games starting with a combination of Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal since they're practically the same game but with slight differences between the two. Hopefully, my versions of these games will be better than the actual ones. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Homecoming

It had been three years since Sonny's twentieth birthday, when Mephiles the Dark was defeated and Sonic and his friends' spirits were laid to rest. In that time, Miles and Amelia had graduated from Spagonia University and become assistants to an archeologist named Cliff who was an acquaintance of Professor Pickle's. He was doing excavations on Bygone Island, which lay several miles from South Island, and offered Amelia and Miles to join him. They in turn invited Sonny and Chuck to come along as volunteers to help with the digging, and did so willingly. While working there, the four became best friends with Stilla.

She was a cousin of Marina, whom Miles had remained friends with after she left South Island, and had been living in the wilderness ever since her parents died. But then when Marina came to Bygone Island, Stilla reunited with her and the two got along well. Unfortunately, Marina didn't stay for long as she wanted to explore the world in her handmade boat called the Super SS Marina. So Stilla was left alone again until Sonny and his friends showed up. She proved to not only be a good friend, despite her paranoid fantasies, but also was a tremendous help in finding artifacts located in the thick jungles that took up most of Bygone Island. In return, all Stilla asked for were pieces of metal or 'Shinies' as she called them.

Today, Sonny and Miles were walking along a beach when something started vibrating in one of Sonny's jean-short pockets. His blue hair was shorter than it used to be, and he also wore a blue rolled-up denim shirt, brown neckerchief, and red shoes wrapped in bandages along with his forearms. He took out a yellow scroll-like device and opened it to reveal a holographic screen which had Amelia's face on it. She was wearing a magenta-colored dress with white bandages wrapped around her waist, purple stockings and matching arm sleeves that went up to her elbows.

"Hey," Sonny said. "What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing much," Amelia replied. "Just found some old ruins which have carvings describing a temple that houses something called 'Lyric.'"

"Any idea what it means?"

Amelia shook her head. "Maybe I'll ask Cliff about it."

Just then a roaring laugh caused Amelia to accidentally drop her device, which looked exactly like Sonny's, as a round floating device came down carrying a large but surprisingly slim man wearing a red jacket and gray pants with a thick brown mustache and dark shades accentuated by green-tinted goggles.

"Doctor Robotnik!" Amelia exclaimed. "I thought you vanished after Sonny and Miles freed the Wisps from your theme-park."

The mustached man snorted. "Have you forgotten already? I no longer respond to the name 'Robotnik'. It's Eggman now, and has been since I invaded South Island all those years ago."

"Well, you're not taking over this island!" Amelia summoned the Piko Hammer into her hands and was about to dash forward when something held her back.

It was a blue and metallic version of Sonny, only with a turbo engine on his chest, red eyes, and no mouth.

"Let go of me, Metal Sonny!" Amelia cried, struggling against the android's strong grip. "You piece of junk!"

"Now, don't say that," Eggman said as he landed the floating device. "He's just doing his job."

"What do you want?" Amelia demanded.

"Oh, nothing much," Eggman responded, strolling up to Amelia till he stood a few inches from her. "Just tell me where this temple you were talking about is, and I'll let you go."

"No way!" Amelia objected.

This caused Eggman to frown. "Fine, then I'll have to force the answer out of you."

As Metal Sonny's grip tightened, Amelia looked down at the scroll-like device. "Sonny!"

"Yeah, I heard all that," Sonny said on the other end. "Where are you located?"

"I'm at—

Before Amelia could finish, Eggman stomped on the device with his black leather boot.

Seeing the screen on his device go blank Sonny immediately told Miles what happened, who now wore a brown vest over a yellow T-shirt with a leather strap that covered one shoulder which was attached to a matching belt. He also sported orange-tinted googles, khaki shorts, yellow socks, and red shoes wrapped in bandages just like Sonny's feet.

"I guess we were wrong to assume Eggman was dead after being sucked into that black hole," Miles murmured. "Guess he must've found some way to return to Mobius."

"We don't have time to figure that out, though," Sonny insisted. "We've got to get the others and save Amelia!"

"But where is she?" Miles asked. "I don't recall her saying anything after we got Stilla out of that canyon."

"Maybe Chuck will know," Sonny suggested. "He followed Amelia afterward."

"Well, go look for him, then," Miles said as he opened up his scroll-like device. "I'll call Cliff and see if he knows where Amelia might have gone."

After taking off at full speed, Sonny was able to find Chuck in a matter of minutes who now stood two heads taller than him wearing the same red tank top shirt and shorts with muscled arms and knees covered by bandages.

"Amelia's being attacked by Eggman?" Chuck exclaimed after Sonny finished explaining what happened. "Why?"

"He asked her for the location of some temple, and she refused to answer," Sonny replied. "Now can you tell me which way Amelia went?"

"Um, that way," Chuck said, pointing at a stone archway behind him. "I think."

"Let's hope you're right." Then Sonny's scroll-like device started vibrating again and he answered. "Hey, Miles, I think we've got a lead."

"That's great, but I've got bad news," Miles stated. "I ran into Stilla and told her what's going on, then she just took off into the jungle."

"Then follow her!" Sonny encouraged. "Hopefully, we'll meet up at the same place."
