Visit From The Future.
Author Note: I'm starting this because my nephew gave me the idea.
I don't own the Sonic crew Sega does (dam them...)
Children in this story are mine. Chapter One: Parents Meet Their Children (I know it's a dumb name but who cares?)
Peace was being enjoyed now. Eggman had been quiet for a while; take advantage of this peace was the Sonic crew. Shadow was currently with them, they help him set up a life for him and they were basically his only friends.
One of Shadow's personal friends he met later, Cindy; a teal hedgehog, was with the crew, enjoying a picnic. They were talking during lunch when a loud crackling and bright light appeared ahead of them. It was shaped in the form of an oval, suddenly then five figures flew out as if they were thrown out.
"Whoa!" One yelled.
"Son of a—" Another kid yelled.
"Get off of me sis!" A white colored echidna yelled. He groaned as he pushed a red female with short dreadlocks and bat wings off of him.
A black hedgehog with teal stripes got up and dusted himself off. A blue hedgehog with pink quills, a female stood up and brushed her self off. She helped another blue hedgehog get up.
The sonic crew stared at them, and then the figures noticed that they were being stared at. When they noticed who they were they suddenly smiled and ran over to them and hugged them. Everyone backed away and looked freaked out;
"Whoa, whoa! Who are you?" Sonic asked freaked out now.
"Dad?" The white echidna yelled almost breaking into tears. He was looking at Knuckles; everyone except Knuckles, stared at Knuckles.
"W-What did you call me?" He asked pointing his shaking hand (Finger) at him.
"Dad, it's you; I finally get to meet you!" The young echidna shedding a few tears; he stepped closer to him, "Dad, it's me your son..." The echidna was a bit confused.
Knuckles's eyes were tiny right now, he rubbed his face and scratched his ear underneath his dreadlocks, "I'm sorry say what? Say that again; I think I had something crazy in my ear!"
"We must have come a bit too early in time." The black hedgehog simply stated brushing his quills a little.
"Wait, wait, wait, who are you?" Sonic asked not understanding a thing.
"I'm Shadow, Shadow II (Shadow The Second.)." The young hedgehog answered.
"I'm Crystal." The red bat like creature said smiling;
The white echidna smiled weakly, "I'm Knikatu."
"What just happened? What are you doing here?" Rouge asked looking at the bat like creature, it kept bugging her that she had wings and was red. Rouge fought every urge to look at Knuckles when she looked at the little bat girl.
"I'm from the future and Knikatu is my brother and you are my mother and he is my father." She answered pointing at Knuckles.
"You mean I have a daughter and son? And she's—" Knuckles was very scared now looking at Rouge who was just the same, "I don't believe you." Knuckles said firmly crossing his arms.
"What about this then?" Knikatu pointed to his guardian symbol, as did Crystal.
Knuckles felt his legs about to give out, "She is my mom, see?" Crystal flexed her wings.
Sonic was growing so scared right now as the kids proved their accusations. He looked at the pink/blue and blue kid. He looked at Amy, who was catching on quickly. He gasped as he noticed she did figure it out;
The pink/blue hedgehog and the blue one stated their names, "I'm Katie and this is my brother Mac and—"
"Please don't say it please!" Sonic yelled not wanting to know the truth.
"Oh, no need to say it." Amy smiled slyly; she looked at Sonic and winked.
"Eh, you two…figure it out." Shadow II stated pointing at Shadow and Cindy. He had the same attitude as his so called 'father' in addition to looking exactly like him with the exception of teal stripes instead of red ones. Shadow looked at Cindy strangely who did the same. Yet she hid a smile.
"Well I still don't—I don't care what you—it can't be true!" Asked Knuckles trying not to believe that he had a future with Rouge his rival.
Knikatu walked toward him, "We came here to look for you! Some years from now you Sonic and Shadow will leave on another mission to fight Eggman but me being a young child having no visual memory of you will find out that you died fighting for my future! So I came here to see what my father was like and to warn him. So that way me, my sister and my future mother will have someone to be there for them!" He was almost in full tears in the memory of knowing he had no father in the future. He didn't care how he would change the time line; he just wanted his father alive.
The white echidna cried quietly. Finally seeing his father, having this chance to prevent everything, it was hard on him.
"Knuckles look what you did!" Rouge walked over to Knikatu and comforted him in a hug, "its okay." Rouge always had a soft spot for children.
"We tagged along and came to see what you were like." Katie simply smiled and wave at her father who seemed like he was having a nervous breakdown.
"I had nothing to do and I was grounded." Shadow II said crossing his arms.
Shadow stood before him now, "What did you do?"
"I wrecked one of Brian's inventions."
"Who's Brian?" Tails asked.
"Your son." He pointed at Tails
"Him too?" Sonic smirked, he already had an idea of who was the one, "Who is his mom?"
"Some rabbit named Cream?" Shadow II shrugged, he never knew her name.
Crackling, a loud sound and flashes appeared as the kids looked at the portal and saw it close;
"(Sigh) Great...now we're stuck for about a month." Mac sighed.
"How come a month?" Knuckles asked scratching his head.
"Because Brian said we should hurry up but if we stayed too long the portal might close and not open for at least a month. He said it had something to do with it taking time to recharge and depending how far you travel back and other things about space time thingy, I don't know, I didn't pay attention!" Everyone looked at Sonic.
"Just like his father." Amy said crossing her arms.
"Say what?" Sonic shook his head snapping out of a day dream. Amy groaned, yep they're father and son.
"What do we do now?" Knuckles asked the older people.
"I guess we're stuck with them," Sonic noticed where this was going to lead, "And I'm going before this conversation goes wrong."
"No! They are our children and we have to take of them together!" Amy yelled grabbing Sonic before he could speed off.
"What do you mean by 'our' and 'together'?" Sonic asked, "I ain't ready to be no father, let alone live in the same place as you!"
"Same here, no way I'm living in the same place as this bat. I rather take care of them alone than be in the same house as you." Knuckles added as he pointed at Rouge. She huffed and glared at him.
"Please Dad, this maybe the only chance I may see you and mom together," Knikatu did not want his parents apart, "Besides, you know you want her around!"
Knuckles stared at him as if he was insane, "You must be out your god damn mind." he would not live with Rouge, not even for his son.
Crystal stepped forward and looked up at him, "Daddy...please?" Now his daughter was begging.
Knuckles looked down at the little batgirl's aqua colored eyes, bright and beautiful like her mothers. He looked at ahead and noticed his son's, purple and bold, begging silently as well;
With a deep sigh, "Fine...but if you even to touch the Master Emerald your out of there." Knuckles glaring at Rouge.
"I got no choice do I?" Shadow looked at his son.
"Got that right!" Shadow II smirked. He loved his mom and dad even if they seemed unfair sometimes in his time.
Cindy and Shadow looked at each other, "Whose house?"
"Not mine, Sonic lives there and I don't want Amy and two other kids around me." Shadow said looking at Amy who only smiled.
"Okay mine then." Cindy smiled.
"You like this don't you?" Shadow asked not knowing how she could possibly be happy.
"Yep, I get to be a mom!" She smiled leading both Shadows away.
"Let's go..." Knuckles said sadly knowing he would have to be with Rouge for a month. They started walking towards Angel Island.
"I wonder if our home is any different then it is in the future?" Crystal asked Knikatu;
"I don't know...let's hope they don't fight that's what I'm worried about."
Crystal walked up to her mom, "Mom?"
Rouge felt strange being called 'mom' "Uh...what is it?"
"Can you make us something to eat cause we haven't had lunch or breakfast."
Rouge knew how to cook but didn't know what they ate or what the preferred, "What do you want to eat?"
Crystal smiled, "Can you make your ham special?"
"My what?" Rouge had no idea what she was talking about.
"Oh you haven't made that for dad yet..." Rouge looked her questioningly, "You made it for dad one time and ever since then it became his favorite meal. And you would make on special occasions."
Rouge looked at Knuckles, "You know how to cook?" He asked shocked.
"Of course I do! My mother taught me when I was younger."
"Let's hope I don't die from it." He chuckled then Rouge smacked him on the head, pretty hard too.
"Who said I was feeding you?" She spiked glaring at him.
"Wha? What am I supposed to eat then?" It was his house; he should at least get a meal.
"I don't know, find something!" She wins…
"Stupid bat..." She smacked him again, dang it's like they're already married.
Elsewhere, with black boy and teal girl
"Cindy, I can't do this." Shadow complained.
"What? Take care of him?"
"Yes and anything else, being a father and everything else that I have to do now..."
"Dad quit complaining, I'm thirteen I don't need much." The look-alike said rolling his eyes.
Shadow flinched at 'dad' "Don't call me that..." He said not liking being called that.
"I have to."
"Why?" Shadow groaned.
"Because you said it's not polite to call people by their names besides Sonic, Knuckles and Tails."
Shadow raised an eyebrow. "I said that? Man I gonna hate my future self." He felt weak, not strength wise but mentally.
Cindy on the other hand was more like Amy she was open with her feelings toward Shadow, "Why are you guys so against taking care of kids for a month?"
Shadow stopped "They are annoying little brats that ask for stuff that will clear out my life savings."
Cindy sighed and rolled her eyes, "Shadow you opened that account three weeks ago..."
"So? It has a full 3 cents!" He held up three fingers.
Shadow II pushed them forward, "Wow you guys argue more now then you do at home." He made them walk on to the house.
With Sonic, Mac, Katie and Pinky
"Oooooh! This is so exciting we're gonna be parents!" Amy squealed with joy as she looked at Sonic and walked at the same time, "Mac, how old are you?" She asked suddenly.
"I'm thirteen." He answered simply.
"I'm fourteen!" Katie said quickly said happily.
"I'm fourteen!" Mac mimicked her
"Shut up you two, God!" Sonic yelled as he threw his hands up.
"Sonic are you okay?" Tails asked finally speaking.
Sonic shook his head, "Of course not! I have to stay a month in the same house as Amy and take of two annoying kids!" A long silence covered them. The kid's expressions looked a bit sadden.
They kept walking, Amy spoke first, "Sonic that was just mean, c'mon they're our kids!"
Sonic wanted to kill her when she said 'our kids' "Fine but! I have conditions One: You don't come anywhere near me! Two: No calling me 'Dad' my name is Sonic! Three: I still get to do what I want! That means you can't nag me to stay and watch them or make me drag them along."
Amy growled to herself, she had to, if they were going to make this work. They continued to walk. After that they arrived at Tails's house, it was six fifty-five.
"I'll get us something to eat." Amy said smiling.
"I'm not hungry and besides I have something I gotta do." Mac said zooming out the door with his father's speed.
"Wha? What's he got to do, that's so important?" Amy said asking no one in particular.
"He's trying to get a date." Katie said rolling her eyes.
"With who?" Tails asked looking at Sonic who threw himself on the couch.
"Well..." Katie started.
Angel Island
Everyone was okay for the most part, Rouge and Knuckles argued about who gets the bed until the kids decided that they would take it. Leaving them to sleep on the floor or couch. Crystal was outside, getting aggravated by the second;
"Please just once?" He asked
"No."
"C'mon just one time."
"For the last time Mac I said no!" Crystal said finally yelling at Mac. She turned around and walked away, but Mac used his speed to stop in front of her;
"Why not?"
Crystal was getting mad, "Because I don't want to!" She walked away again. And Mac stopped in front of her again;
"Mac, I don't want to have to hurt you like last time." Last time he hugged her from behind and she ended up throwing him up into wall.
"Oh c'mon Crystal just one date. That's all I ask." He took one of her hands amking her blush slightly.
Crystal still wondered why? Why he kept asking her out? One reason was obvious she was like her mother. (If you don't understand I mean her body.) Mac was always asking her to go out;
"What about Julie?" Crystal took her hand back and narrowed her eyes at her. She was very mature for a thirteen-year old; she had a good memory too. Julie and Mac where still dating last she heard.
"It didn't work out between me and her..." Crystal still didn't trust him enough to go out with him.
"Why me? Why now? Why not earlier?" She asked.
Mac sighed, "I thought I loved her...but I didn't. So please, c'mon Crystal, just once."
He was nothing like his father. Instead of running away from a girl he ran after a girl and like his mother wouldn't stop, in this case it was Crystal.
"I'll think about it." Crystal said with a small smile and turned around and walked away.
"Yes! Damn, finally!" Mac shouted happily, Crystal joyfully rolled her eyes as she heard him, as she walked away.
---
Crystal walked into her home to fine her mom and dad arguing about who gets the couch.
"Be a gentleman and give the lady the couch!" Rouge said in anger.
"I would if there was a lady in here!" Knuckles yelled back.
"Why you!" Rouge wanted to slap him.
"It gonna be one hell of a month." Crystal sighed closing the door behind her.
Knikatu seems like a weird name but I like to think of it as a tribal name.
