Disclaimer: I don't own any Sonic characters other than my own characters. I may change the personalities of some characters to fit the roles in my fan fiction but feel free to alert me of the change for it's probably an unconscious decision. I do own part of the 'book' but only some bits, for my friends will be helping me write some chapters. This is my first fanfic so don't hate it too much also I tried to do the same fan fiction once before but I deleted it and I'm sure this is all very boring and unhelpful. So without further ado here is the first chapter
This chapter has been edited slightly and I would like it if someone were to review if they see any errors in this chapter
Chapter 1
Flare's POV:
I find myself just outside the Great forest on the outskirts of the previously vibrant New Mobotropolis. I allow my thoughts to drift back to the fateful moment that I ran from the nanite city.
Flashback:
I woke up, walked over to the mirror and noticed that my light blue quills were messed up from sleeping at an awkward angle and there were bags under my ice blue eyes. I splashed some water on my face and walked out the door and watched as Eggman attacked New Mobotropolis with his latest 'Greatest invention', an anti-matter missile launching robot which then proceeded to rip the city apart leaving devastation in its wake. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to find Sonic, but alas I do not possess super speed, when I found him I explained as best I could that in approximately ten minutes the city in which we resided would be a pile of rubble. Sonic rushed off at full speed, leaving behind a sonic-boom and a trail of dust, to alert Sally and the other freedom fighters of the disaster. I waited as the dust trail fell to the ground, I then ran for the forest as the Freedom Fighters tried to save the city from the Egghead. As I passed the line of trees I collapsed unconscious. I don't know how much time passed as I lay there but when I came to I was leaning against a tree just outside the forest.
Flashback ends
I must have lost consciousness sooner than I thought ... I lean back against the tree as I spot Eggman finishing his attack and leaving the now destroyed New Mobotropolis. I hang my head and curse as I realize Sonic and the Freedom Fighters had not succeeded in saving the city, all I can do is hope they saved the citizens. I drop off the edge of the conscious world and sleep the pain of losing my home and possibly my friends away.
Zero the Spirit's POV:
I float through the forest, drifting aimlessly, until I find myself in a gap in the trees, I notice an opening in said forest and cautiously float down to the ground, only to be run though by a crazy blue hedgehog. The living have no respect for the 'dead'. I look down and realize that my 'body' is getting even more transparent and think 'Why is my 'body' disappearing? ... wait is his fur turning ... white?' Suddenly everything starts to dim, a long needed sleep takes hold of my mind and I slip into the empty black abyss.
Zero's POV:
I come to, looking around I wonder where I am. I'm surrounded by those weird green fluffy looking things, guess I'll call them leaf-sticks, so it must be a ... what was it called again? Those things, with the animal thingys... Oh right! FOREST that's it I'm on the edge of a forest. I get up and run around the forest a little to get used to my body. Eventually I find my way back to where I woke up and drag my worn out body out of the forest. Arriving at the very edge I plop myself down against a tree, ignoring my surroundings I allow myself to slowly drift off.
I wake up and look around, as you tend to do, and I notice some fat guy flying away from a somewhat destroyed city with some weird robot in tow and a bunch of people running out of the city on the opposite side as the walls were crumbling to rubble. Well, you don't see that every day. I decide to go after the attacker and not the crowd of people and speed off. I slowly get up and use what remains of my energy, having not gained very much from sleeping, to run up to the fat man and nearly collapse into the flying thing he's using for transport. I look up at the fat man, who possesses a great resemblance to an egg so I'll call him Eggy for now.
Eggy looks down and grins evilly as he notices that I'm almost unconscious from running so far and not taking a break and he exclaims "Well, well what do we have here? A unhappy customer perhaps? Never mind I have been looking for a lab rat to test how these anti-matter missiles react with living flesh"
Eggy turns his floating egg cup towards the robot and says "Grab that pesky hedgehog now you rust bucket" It's about now I realize this may have been a bad idea
Author's note: I once watched an animation on albinoblacksheep called 'A Bad Idea'.
The robot makes a grab for me that I barely manage to dodge evaded. I turn to the robot and punch at it as the thing gets ready to shoot something at me. Unfortunately it does no damage to the robot which proceeds to fire a pointy tube thing at me that tears my skin to a point that my blood is rushing down my body. I won't be able to take many more of those tubes; I stagger to a halt and drop to the ground. I look up just as it launches another tube and I roll out of the way it but it doesn't change much as the ground seems to disintegrate. I drop into the new hole in the ground that's about 5 metres wide and roll into the centre leaving a pool of blood. I get up and stagger around and look up as the robot and Eggy turn away and seem to teleport away. I climb out of the hole and stagger back towards the forest trying to concentrate on getting to a place where I can rest. After some time I manage to reach the forest and slowly make my way onto to a path, I follow the path leaving a trail of blood and drop near a cut down tree trunk at a crossroads (Author's note: it's the entrance to knothole) and fall into a restless, painful dream.
End of Chapter 1 but don't worry in a few months or so the second chapter will be up and ready. Please give me your review unless it is criticism for the sake of putting me down. Also let me know if you read the original chapter 1 of this story and tell me if you like this version better or not.
