And I'm back with another story! I know I've been un-active for awhile but that's because of laziness, writer's blocks, holiday events, binging anime, watching a LOT of movies with my Mom and Dad (separately), and good old-fashioned family drama.
Before we start off I would like everyone to know this is set with my other crossover story Shadow the Hedgehog: The Ultimate Lifeform and Defender of Humanity (Sonic/Attack on Titan). I do advise you favorite and follow that other story because they will merge eventually. Sounds crazy to have Sonic the Hedgehog, Attack on Titan, and RWBY be set in the multiverse right? Well I'm fucked up enough to do it. So long story short, this is an alternate timeline where Shadow was sent to another universe with the Chaos Emeralds so Eggman had to do things different for the events of Sonic Heroes.
Well, anyways enjoy!
A Blue Blur in Remnant
Prelude: Flesh vs Metal
It was a nice hot summer day with the only sounds that could be heard is that of birds chirping and wind rustling. Sonic sighed as he lay on the ground with arms folded behind his head with his eyes closed not even sleeping as Tails worked on the Tornado a couple feet away. It was a full year after the whole Space Colony ARK fiasco. With Shadow sacrificing himself along with the destruction of the seven Chaos Emeralds, Eggman never really made a move and sorta formed a silent truce with the world and never attempted to destroy, steal, or kill something. But no one really knew what he was up to so everyone was still up on their guard if he ever makes another move. With the human government seeing proof of Shadow of committing the crimes they thought Sonic committed all charges were dropped and Sonic received an apology for being hunted and arrested and a thank you for saving the world once again. Sonic accepted the apology and didn't really hold much grudge against the human government, but he's not in a state to fully trust it so that's why he mainly works with Tails. Without the thirst for power and dominance that the seven Chaos Emeralds started the world moved on. Amy was still obsessed with Sonic but not as much, but still enough to forcefully marry him. Knuckles remained the same and guarded the Master Emerald at all times, though he wouldn't admit it he loved it when Sonic and Tails visited him because deep down he knows he has the most boring job in existence. Rouge was still out there collected jewelry and working for G.U.N., she also never attempted to contact Sonic or the others. As for Sonic and Tails, with Eggman not trying to take over the world, no other big crazy villain trying to follow in his foot steps, or some mystical ancient evil reawakening to take over the world, Tails mainly hung out with Sonic and worked on many machines and gadgets. Sonic, on the other hand did what he did best: ran. He remained mostly the same as a spirit in the wind, a person who never really stood in one place for too long and always on the run for fun. He hanged out with his friends on some days and just ran on the others. He was partially bored that there was no evil to stop but was glad that no one was getting hurt. But deep down there was one thing tearing him apart: Shadow's sacrifice. He really didn't know the dark-furred hedgehog for long and Shadow did treat him like crap, but that doesn't change the fact the he sacrificed himself for Mobius. He was Sonic's temporary partner and he saved the world. It would be impossible for Sonic not to feel guilty about it. He always valued life and freedom as a top priority in his morals and having someone else besides Sonic sacrifice himself for the greater good just tortured Sonic in the inside. He should've sacrificed himself not Shadow! Sonic didn't know if he was being selfless or selfish about the situation, it just... tortured him.
Before Sonic could follow his internal problems even deeper he opened his eyes to see a butterfly on his nose. The blue hedgehog cracked a smile as he saw the butterfly fly away, making him forget about his internal problems and just be grateful that everything is peaceful, safe, and perfect... That is until he heard a small rumbling noise. Sonic's ear twitched a little as he moved closer to the ground seeing nearby pebbles starting to shake. He then lifted his head to see a dust cloud making it's way towards the pair of friends. Tails lifted his head from working the air-plane's engine to see the dust cloud move closer. He made his way beside Sonic as the dust cloud stopped at the sight of the pair of the friends. After the dust settled, it was revealed to be none other than Knuckles. On his knees breathing heavily, he could barley muster out the words he ran so far to tell to his two closes friends.
"Huh? What's that, buddy?" Sonic raised an eyebrow, bending down to Knuckles' face.
"Eggham... sto... Mas... Em..." Knuckles panted out.
"What?" Tails asked.
"Eggman... stell... Mastedy... Emald... Agee..." Knuckles continued to pant finally forming the words together.
"Say again?" Sonic asked once more.
"EGGMAN STOLE THE MASTER EMERALD AGAIN!" Knuckles yelled out finally saying the words he meant to say.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?!" Sonic yelled, with excitement in his voice.
"BECAUSE I RAN OVER 100 MILES TO TELL YOU THIS!" Knuckles yelled back in his usual frustrated tone. "NOW ARE YOU TWO ARE GOING TO HELP ME OUT OR WHAT?!"
Sonic and Tails looked at each other with smirks on their faces. True, they shouldn't be glad that a power-hungry madman with the most powerful object in the universe is back into the "take over the world" business but it's been over a year since they had any other adventures. Sonic not only saves the world because it's the right thing to do, he also does it because it's fun. And without any excitement like this, he would probably go crazy. Plus, he needed to get his mind off of Shadow's sacrifice and how the guilt was eating him alive.
Looking back at Knuckles, Sonic asked, "Do you know where his new hideout is?"
Clouds were all that Sonic could see and feel their wet moisture at the moment since he was standing on top of the Tornado while Tails was piloting the plane and Knuckles was in the passenger seat.
"According to my scanner that's picking up the Master Emerald's energy levels Eggman's base isn't far away." Tails explained.
"It's been a year since I last punched something!" Knuckles said excitedly. "So this is going to be a blast!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Sonic said waving his arms in the air. "In case you haven't noticed this is the first time in a year that Eggman is trying something. So I've been waiting for this too."
"What are you saying?" Knuckles asked, rubbing his chin and raising an eyebrow.
"How 'bout some friendly competition?" Sonic asked sporting a smile. "That first one that finds Eggman gets fight him mono-to-mono."
"And the other?" Knuckles asked.
"Has to sit back and watch." Sonic said with a competitive grin.
"You're on!" Knuckles agreed with a smile.
Tails only rolled his eyes at his two friend's bet. "You know it's dangerous when you fight Eggman alone. It'll be easier if we work together."
"And what's the fun in that?" Sonic asked with a grin.
Tails could only sigh as his control box beeped which could mean only one thing. "We're here!"
Sonic turned his head and grinned at the sight of Eggman's new base. It was more of a fortress than a metropolis with three skyscrapers and the third one being the highest while the other two were of equal height, there were smaller buildings with cannons on the top, and to put the cherry on top the streets were littered with Egg-Bots. Sonic and Kunckles could only smile at the sight of it while Tails nervously sweat.
(Play Endless Possibilities by Jaret Reddick (Fun fact: him and his band Bowling for Soup created the Phineas and Ferb theme.))
"I know you guys haven't done anything in a year but can you please not do anything stu-" Tails tried to ask them to be careful while Sonic ignored him and jumped.
"GERONIMO!" Sonic yelled with excitement as he hopped off the plane.
"This is my escape."
"I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back."
"'Cause I know I can go."
"Where's no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back."
Sonic dodged the cannon fire by performing many air stunts he mastered through the years and eventually he was close enough to a tower with a cannon on top. The cannon fired at the sight of the blue-furred hedgehog but Sonic's reaction was faster as he spinballed attack the giant cannon ball so hard it flew right back at the cannon and exploded. Sonic then landed on the ground catching himself as debris from the fallen tower littered around. He then looked up to see probably a hundred Eggbots surrounding him on all sides and pointing their guns at him. Sonic smiled knowing even if he lost his bet with Knuckles he was still going to have a blast.
"But how will I know when I get there?"
"And how will I know when to leave?"
"We've all gotta start from somewhere."
"And it's right there for me."
"The possibilities are never ending."
"This is what I get for taking a piss for five seconds..." Knuckles mumbled as he fiddled with the seat-belt.
"Knuckles, wait a minut-" Tails once again try to warn one of his closet friends.
But before he could finish what he what he had to say, Knuckles managed to free himself from the Tornado's strong seat-belt and hop out of the Tornado to join the fight.
Tails sighed in annoyance. "Why do I even try?"
But before he could start complaining about how immature his friends are and how he needs new ones, the tower cannons started to focus on him. Dodging some of the cannon the fire Tails pushed the battle-mode button and soon his plane transformed into an attack plane. Needless to say, the battle has just begun.
"I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)."
"I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)."
"Endless Possibility."
Knuckles landed in the middle of a metal road, he then turned his head to see quite a few Eggbots carrying a wide range of weapons like swords, hammers, rocket launchers, and plain old machine guns. He then smirked and smashed his knuckles together before he ran to the metal machines with no remorse. The first Eggbot that was in his way had a sword and lifted it up to try to strike the red echidna but Knuckles reflexes were fast as he caught the sword with both his hands. Knuckles then kicked the Eggbot with one leg so hard it went flying down and took a few others with it. Knuckles with the sword then slashed an Eggbot that ran up to him in half, two Eggbots with guns aimed and fired at Knuckles but he just blocked them with the sword. When they were done Knuckles threw the sword at one of them and took it out while also with lightning fast reflexes ran up and punched the other Eggbot's head off. Three Eggbots with swords then ran up to him but Knuckles punched one of them in head downwards deactivating it and with the robotic corpse he lifted it up and smashed the other two with it until they were nothing but a pile of junk. Knuckles then looked forward and saw an Eggbot pointing a rocket launcher at him. The machine then fired but Knuckles grabbed the rocket with just one hand and threw it back at the Eggbot where it destroyed the machine into a million pieces.
Knuckles then wiped off the sweat from his forehead and congratulated himself. "Nice going, tough guy."
"And so I'll carry on."
"My time to shine has come, I feel it! (I feel it, I feel it)"
"As fast as I could go."
"Straight to the top I know, you'll see it! (You'll see it, you'll see it)"
Back with Sonic, he was busy jumping on the heads of Eggbots an then jumping off as the other Eggbots blast the one he was standing on into smithereens. He continued this strategy a couple times until he was at the end of the endless row of Eggbots and ran off to find Eggman.
"Come on, Eggman." Sonic muttered to himself. "The one time I actually want to find you and you don't show up. Typical."
"So please wake me up when I get there."
"It feels like I'm lost in a dream."
"I know in my heart that it's my time."
"And I already see."
"The possibilities are never ending!"
"I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach! (Endless Possibility)
Back in the sky, Tails was handling the massive cannons by shooting out missiles from the Tornado. When he ran out of missiles he did the best he could dodging and twirling around the few big cannons with his piloting skills, even knocking down a few cannons down by letting them hit each other. He then aimed the cannon embedded on his plane and fired at the cannon in front of him. It soon exploded in time for Tails to fly through the debris without getting damaging his plane.
"Drop that smile 'cause you're beaten again."
"No, this is where my story begins!"
"You're losing you speed, you're losing your flow."
"But inside me's a power you'll never know!"
"Then let it out, it's inside you."
"Better all stand back 'cause I'm coming through!"
Back down below, Sonic was running through the many metal bridges connected to the many bleak and grey skyscrapers of Eggman's base, heading towards the main tower. As he made his way toward his destination, he unknowingly step on a mine which exploded on impact. Of course Sonic was fast enough to out run the explosion but it also set off many other mines which quickly exploded one by one. Pretty soon the skyscraper begun to fall and the the explosions seemed to be catching up to Sonic. Sweat beat down on face as he gave a nervous glance at the endless carnage behind him. He then looked in front of him and saw he wasn't too far from the main tower. He glanced up and got an idea. Using his speed he ran up on the next tower and when he reached the top he quickly jumped off and headed towards the main tower's window where he could make his dramatic entrance. As the explosions quickly caught up to him, it only helped him which his destination quicker by giving him enough force to break for the main window of the tower.
"I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach."
"I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside me!"
"I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)"
"I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)"
"Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)
"Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)
"Endless Possibility!"
Sonic landed in a dark room with the only light coming from the newly broken window; but he didn't care because he didn't feel that good in years. "Whew!" he said with his usual cocky smile on his face. "I need to give Eggman gift basket when this is all over fir giving me a rush I haven't felt in years."
"TARGET ACQUIRED!" said a menacing familiar robotic voice. "PROCEEDING PROCESS OF EXECRATING CHAOS CONTROL!"
As if on cue, bright white lights instantly turned on making Sonic flinch and the window Sonic broke was steeled off by a sheet of metal. As Sonic slowly opened his eyes again, he could see that in front of him was the Master Emerald behind a visible glass portrait, connected to many tubes and wires stealing it's great energy. And in front of it stood a familiar robot doppelganger.
"Metal Sonic?!" Sonic yelled in surprise to see who was the true mastermind of this whole situation. "By the way, why do you have to steal my name? I know you're suppose a evil robot version of me, but can you please be original enough to come up with your own name? Like Hal for instance?"
Metal Sonic however was not amused at his inferior version in front of him. Though he was a robot, he held a great hatred against Sonic.
"So where's old Egghead, anyway?" asked Sonic, that has gotten over the sudden revelations rather quick. "Let me guess: he put you here to fool me into thinking you're the main bad guy and then in the end it's revealed he was the main bad guy behind everything all along, yadda yadda yadda..."
Metal Sonic said nothing, not wanting to give away his plan like the attention wanting idiot Doctor Eggman was. Instead, he used the small jet pack on his back and went straight for Sonic. Sonic dodged of course but as soon as the dust settled Metal Sonic looked right back at him looking determined to have what he has planned accomplished quick.
"Not gonna say anything, huh?" Sonic asked, with his cocky grin.
Metal Sonic said nothing.
"Then let's dance!" Sonic said as he spinballed attacked his opponent.
Metal Sonic countered with the same attack and the results led the two of them in the place the other was at. Metal Sonic then went in for the next attack as he used the the jet pack on his back to sweep in and catch his foe by the neck. His plan worked as it caught Sonic off-guard, and soon he was being choked out in in mid-air by his robotic version. The original version however gathered up all his remaining strength and broke off the choke-hold by kicking off Metal Sonic with his legs. As Sonic landed on the ground and gathered his strength, the metal version of him hit the wall and fell down on the ground rather hard. Taking the opportunity of his temporarily down enemy, Sonic rushed in and spinballed attack Metal Sonic's back several times breaking his jet pack in the process. However, Metal Sonic soon regained control of all his himself and managed to catch Sonic before he could hit him once more. With the blue hedgehog in his hands he went to the nearest wall and smashed him into it. He then continued the process until he realized it wouldn't be fatal enough to kill him so he threw him back in the center of the room. Sonic was out of it and slowly regained concessions as his metal doppelganger slowly made his towards him. As Metal Sonic was about to end his fleshly original by stabbing him with his claws, SOnic retorted by gathering his strength and spinball attack his copy. However, Metal Sonic quickly caught on and fought back with the same attack. Pretty soon, both of them were flying in the room hitting each other back and fourth in their ball-forms. After getting the upper hand by knocking Metal Sonic to the ground, Sonic landed the ground and caught his breath while Metal Sonic slowly stood up. Both opponents looked at each other straight in the eye or optics and neither made a move.
"You might know everything I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you since I know everything you're going to do. Strange isn't it?" Sonic breathed, slowly showing his metal copy his smirk.
This pissed off Metal Sonic quite a bit so much so he said, "STATEMENT: IMPOSSIBLE! DUE TO I BEING THE SUPERIOR VERSION!"
"Then let's end this, shall we?" Sonic said with his arrogant tone.
Both opponents ran at each other fast, but it was Sonic who managed to kick Metal Sonic up in the air. With his opponent right where he wants him, Sonic spinballed attacked him at Metal Sonic ended up flying into the Master Emerald breaking the glass in front of it and giving the Master Emerald numerous scratches and cracks. Sonic then landed on the ground and brushed off his hands.
"Now that was easy!" Sonic said with scratches and bruises across his back.
Metal Sonic, however was not down at all. He watched his fleshly original assume victory with extreme hate. Not wanting to lose again Metal Sonic activated the tower they both were in computer's system and activated the Master Emerald. Bright lights emitted from the floor Sonic was standing which broke him his assumed victory and soon he heard a humming noise.
"Wh-What's going on here?!" Sonic asked nervously.
Metal Sonic then landed right on top of him and gave him a cold stare through his newly cracked optics. "YOU'RE DEATH, INFERIOR!"
As Sonic struggled to get the metal impostor off of him, the Master Emerald glowed brightly with three cracks showing. The room got brighter and louder as the two enemies fought with each other. Soon the floor was getting hotter so Sonic pushed Metal Sonic (who was also feeling the heat) away from him. Sonic then yelled as loud as he could as he felt pain everywhere, Metal Sonic couldn't do anything as the heat started to melt it's servos in the inside, and the Master Emerald was beginning to break into three parts.
Before anything else could be said or done, the hedgehog, robot, and Master Emerald were each sent to another world. Where everything would change.
I know it's not my best but I've been working on this since October so give me a break! I know there's no RWBY in it, but that's because this is the prelude. In chapter 1, we'll see Sonic meet an alcoholic loving bird we all know and love. This is my first time writing a romance story so please give me advice on Sonic x Ruby (he'll be a Faunus, don't worry it won't be Princess Elise from '06 all over again).
And this story won't be updated again until mid-next year because because I'll be busy with Shadow the Hedgehog:The Ultimate Lifeform and Defender of Humanity and (possibly) Camp Falls, my Gravity Falls/Camp Camp crossover fic.
This is Shadow the Jedi, ending transmission and as always, May The Force Be With You.
Merry Christmas!
