Okay, so here's the new fic, but basically a reboot from where Season 2 of Weresheep X left off.
Geez...that name sounds so stupid now...
But it's got a new name now. I'm so experienced now, I realize I should've done this a long time ago.
So here it is: Sonic GX. Cool name, huh? Plain, simple...has "Sonic" in the title. Let's try something new with it. Want to finally get a good idea of what's going on? If this doesn't do it...then this never should see the light of day. Takes place after "Weresheep X, Season 2" left off. On Sonic's side of the story, anyway.
Sonic GX chapter 1: Rebirth
.(Still separate by periods. lol, funny, but it works.)
(Sonic's PoV. It's new.)
So much happened the last few days even I was almost outrun by it. Oh, by the way, name's Sonic. Sonic T. Hedgehog. The "T" stands for "The" if you didn't know.
Right now I'm stuck here, on this deserted island in the ocean with nothing but a fire, my wits, my comatose best friend, and a man who looks like the general of Earth's entire army.
But let's stop there for now and rewind a bit to how this all got itself into a big darn hurry.
.(One week earlier...)
.(Sonic's comments will be in italics.)
Sonic got up that morning in his room. A soft purring, mixed with soft breathing told him Blaze was still asleep next to him.
Is it wrong to sleep next to your girlfriend? Blaze the Cat, that's her name. PRINCESS Blaze in reality. I really don't know how it works with her kingdom, although I've been there before. When last I heard, her birthday was a few months ago. Kinda makes me sad I missed it.
I wonder what got us together...other then the fact that she's practically me from another universe or whatever. She can shoot fire, I can run faster then a jet. She likes to stay in one place, I only stop to sleep. Maybe it's our shoes. Same design, they're just different color.
Or it could be it's something I can't see. I'm not gonna get all mushy and say she has a fantastic personality. Let's just stick with "We can't stay away from each other' kinda mentality.
After stroking her unbound hair for a bit and putting his red with white-striped shoes on, it was time for one of two things: running, or eating. Sometimes he does both. Lot of a times he does both. But somehow, things just didn't seem all that well. And Sonic knew why.
How I got to sleep that night, search me. The day before, my best buddy in the whole galaxy, Miles "Tails" Prower, or just Tails, just suddenly collapsed in the hallway. Only a small bruise on his forehead. No concussion, that's a relief. But when he woke up, he just...wasn't Tails...
It's hard to explain. He just suddenly forgot us. Not just us, but everything about himself. About that he is a fox, he has two tails, but doesn't remember that he can use them to fly, and worst of all, not even our docs can find out just why. Worst case of amnesia I've ever seen.
Sonic stopped just past the Infirmary.
If it was hard for me to sleep, I...just don't want to imagine how it was for him. He even forgot that he built this place himself.
Inside the Infirmary, Tails slept surprisingly quietly, even though he was quite jittery the day before. Amy was asleep as Sonic entered, her hair a mess. She slept in her clothes because she was too tired to have taken them off before taking a rest in a bed. She couldn't even make it TO the bed.
Jeez, even Amy's all worked up. Amy Rose is a hedgehog, like me, only pink. She always wears her hair--and quills--with a barret that I stopped trying to investigate. Amy is, by her own self announcement, my self proclaimed girlfriend, always dreaming I'd marry her or something. She can get quite annoying, especially when she gets mad and starts to swing that massive hammer around. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike her. She's more of a friend then anything else in the world.
Amy had to set Tails to bed the night before. For perhaps half the night, she stayed up with him to make sure he didn't lose it and take off somewhere. Every so often Amy would snort a little and Sonic feared she might wake up. Waking Amy from a rough night was never a good idea. One of two things would happen; she'd either go berserk with the hammer, or mope around about a combination of a bad night and her friend having amnesia.
Tails creaked an eye open and saw Sonic, who just smiled back. No words exchanged, Tails closed the eye again.
Man, I'm just glad he now knows we're not out to get him. Funny, as that'd be the last thing I'd ever think...in 3 lifetimes, I'm sure.
Sonic ran out soon after. Amidst all the blurs that went passed him he stopped at the bridge, while a short figure, a little taller then himself, sat at the "captain's" chair, pushing away at buttons while muttering a song to himself.
And here was the reason we were staying afloat. Anth. Anth M. Southworth. Don't ask. He's a zed head, a dead man walking, the creeping death that lingers. Oh sure, he can't technically 'die' so much as you can get him to shut up. I once saw him benchpress a robot simply because someone made a bet he couldn't.
Someone who can't die, yet can fight like a rhino. Invincible?...far from it. He's only really helped out in a fight once. ONCE. And he's been around combat with me or who else at least 30 times. Most of the time he'd either be preoccupied with something ridiculous or not really knowing what's happening. Matter of fact, he wouldn't help Rouge escape from a nasty trap until she apologized for some rude comment she made when they first met.
And FYI, that little argument in the trap happened 6 months after they had met.
But I can't say he's all idiot...hard to believe. He's the only one who could have figured out how to work this thing. I know a couple others who could, but not as fast. And believe me, we needed fast.
Hoping to ask where they were at, Sonic started to raise a question, "are we-"
"No," was the quick retort from the guy.
"I'm just-"
"No!"
"You're co-"
"Yes."
I never could manage to get his own quips or jokes and turn them against him.
"Do you even know what I'm going to ask?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot. "Yes," said Anth, opening a board of metal that lead into the circuitry of the console, "And no. Going the right way? I'd like to think so, dunno, quit asking, I know what I'm doing...half the time. But iffen I can figure out how'ta get those guns on standy-by, we'll show them asteroids what's who now."
Traveling through the warp ring was always our way to travel, and Anth knew how to use it. Thing was, we needed to keep our eyes peeled.
"Well, don't touch anything unless you know what it does," said Sonic, rolling his eyes, "if not for your sake, but for everyone on this thing." And with that, he sped off. Anth didn't seem to notice and continued humming to himself while touching a few wires that he probably shouldn't.
A black wire in front of his face told him he hand gotten his head stuck. "Uh oh..." he said, "Not supposed to touch these ones..." It would be a while before he'd get it unstuck.
.(Observation deck...)
Breakfast was just that--fast. The deck was usually the place where I'd go to hang out with whomever. Only this time, no one WAS around. Creepy. Maybe I could check another place. I found a video phone nearby. Ya know, those phones where you dial the number of another vid phone and you could actually see the person talking to you? I dialed the number and with luck, that weathering, crotchety enigma Craig might answer. Sound normal? Anything but.
He can change his own age. Weird. He once said he was only part way human, and I think his other parts weren't something you'd find in our world, either. Anyway, while before he made himself look young, I saw what it did to him. Made him go into a coughing fit. Now, however, he looked much older, probably easier for him to maintain or something.
The older man noticed his beeper and turned a brown eye from his desk to the video phone to Sonic. CEO Craig looked weathered, even though even when he looks older he looks to have more spring in his step. But now, looked more like he had to stay up all night. And actually looked like he did.
"Hello, Sonic," he said, turned his eye back to his desk. His brown hair furrowed. Gold pauldrons on the shoulders of his dark green long coat. His shirt unbuttoned, brown in color as well. The "W" pin on his arm looked like it was torn at in rage.
He didn't waste time. "Say what you have to say, hedgehog, this work will kill me too fast if you don't," said Craig.
For the record, he's hardly ever in a good mood. It's as if those wrinkles on his face are permanent.
"What's up with everyone? I know I'm off today, but..."
Craig rubbed his dreary face with the hand that lacked a pen. "Well, unless Tails had a major concussion--and the Professors, both of them, say otherwise--Tails is under some kind of spell."
"Spell? Like, magic spell?"
"The only kind. I know some myself, but..."
"You can't reverse this?"
"Anyone can. Depends on the will of the victim. In this case, Tails."
Well, that sucks.
Sonic stood, his back to the wall next to the video phone and leaned with one arm. "So I'm guessing that's a while?" Sonic said, looking up.
"Perhaps never."
"Perfect. Well, looks like I'll have to snap him out of it."
Craig sighed. No reply, not even a nod. To Sonic, it was tons better then a shake of the head. That usually got Sonic down. Not in hopes, but it just made it seem, to Sonic anyway, that he had almost no excitement in his life.
"Later, Sonic," and with hardly another word, the vid phone turned off on Craig's side.
So much help he was.
.(Bridge...)
Lucky it wasn't as permanent as I thought. Blaze, the Professor von Dyke and even that sour drip of a treasure hunter Knuckles. Knuckles is an Echidna, for those of you who don't know. He's red, wears two large, white gloves with spikes on them. He can fly, he can punch, enough said. He guards the power source to the whole thing--the Master Emerald. He can be kinda anti social sometimes.
von Dyke was a lot nicer guy. His full name is Arthur von Dyke. I can only assume he's a dog with grey fur and a white mustache on his nose that looks reminiscent of Eggman's. Only a lot shorter. He wore a white lab coat, as always, and a monacle was on his left eye at all times.
"Oh ho! Sonic my boy. Come. This looks right important," the old man said.
Did I mention he has an upper class British accent? He just won't stop saying those colloquialisms!
Colloquialism...I learned that from Tails...
.(Switching to Blaze's POV...)
My name is Blaze...I'm a cat, I guard the Sol Emeralds...or, at least, until something happened to my world. I won't get into that. As long as...Sonic once said as long as we're alive, we'll manage it somehow.
I don't smile much, under any circumstance. I don't trust easily and I'm...kind of shy. Sonic may have smiled back to me, but that isn't an incentive to smile right back. After all, something else put pressure on our heads.
Blaze turned from Sonic back to the window into open space. The Blue Typhoon was looking marvelous as ever. A nice bright white paint job with blue highlights. The "nose" of the ship was a yellow color. And needless to say, it sure was a big spaceship!
Tails said he built it in 6 months. I don't know him as much as everyone else, but he can do wonders with a wrench. But now...he doesn't even remember how to fly.
The cat and the dog-thing of a Professor continued to look out the window. At first, Sonic thought they were just star gazing. Space was just magnificent. But too soon it turned out to be something different. While traveling, the ship had come across the wreckage of a massive battle of sorts. Forward ahead was a wrecked spacecraft that still looked functional, but not working. And it was incredibly familiar.
"That's someone's ship," Blaze noted, looking at it. Sonic walked up to the glass and got a closer look. "Hey, I remember that!" he said, "think we can get it?"
Blaze looked towards the controls. "As soon as that domkopf gets his head together...when he puts it back on."
Indeed, having gotten so tangled, Anth just decided to leave his head in the control box. Typical.
I don't know why Sonic keeps that idiot around. Perhaps he is the only one who can figure out how the Blue Typhoon works fast enough...he has no limit to his strength if he puts his mind to it...but that's just it! He doesn't! Every single time, he's been too preoccupied with something ELSE! Grr...
The cat's eyes closed and her fist as well, which she had gestured in front of her chest. "Grr...idiot..." Blaze said. Sonic's hand appeared on her closed fist and she looked to his thumbs up and smile. He said, "Don't worry, we'll get that ship."
Sonic ran off at that point.
.(Hangar...)
I followed Sonic here. I'm not as fast as him, but I can still say I'm superior to many others. The hangar had Tails' own personal ship, the X Tornado inside. Sonic was clever, he knew how to use the X Tornado.
.(Not too long later...)
Mario Bros.? At first it was hard to believe. They were here, I'd heard about them. They're as famous as Sonic. I don't think I have to tell you about them.
Soon after landing with the strange ship, Luigi tumbled out of the seat behind Sonic and landed flat on his head. Muttering some kind of groan, Luigi fell back straight. Apparently he couldn't handle it's speed. During the rescue, Sonic had to change it to Fighter Mode to catch the aircraft, but since there was so much debris, he had to make a speedy landing. As well as with no landing gear.
The professor could repair that later. Sonic knocked on the cockpit's window to see if the person inside was awake, or even alive. Knowing it was useless after a few knocks, Sonic forced his way in with his fist and pulled someone out.
"Krys?!" said Sonic. Also blue in color, Krystal was unconscious.
It's that girl. Krystal. Her planet was destroyed, or perhaps just disappeared, for a very long time. Krystal was a blue fox, and from what Sonic told me, telekinetic and telepathic...Just like Silver...She was knocked out. A small trickle of what I can only assume...but not...I'm not afraid of it...but also I'm afraid she might be hurt. Her head must've been cracked a little...
Sonic shook her a little and said, "Hey, Krys, you ok?" To their relief, she indeed opened her eyes. "Sonic...?" she said meekly, then opened her eyes wide, "Where are they!?"
"Where's who?"
"Sonic, something's happened!"
"Yeah, I kinda figured, but what happened?"
Krystal attempted to stand and succeeded, but her vision was hazy at best. "That man...with the mustache..."
"Wha, Eggman? He did this?!"
"No, he...uff..." Krystal collapsed again, but Sonic caught her. "Hang on, I gotcha."
This made me feel uneasy. To say the least.
END OF EPISODE ONE
Wow, that turned out well. I worked hard on this and watched like, the entire Sonic X series to get their personalities down. I just wish Blaze was in it. /
