SONIC
AND THE
DARK SOULS
CHAPTER ONE
PRESENT TIME
It is a peaceful life at the planet Earth. Everyone makes a living and are having responsiblilites, fun, love, and friendship in the planet. Among them, there are also their greatest hero...the fastest hero...Sonic the Hedgehog. The blue blur and his friends are Earth's greatest heroes as they were able to stop evil outsiders from either conquering the world or destroying it. From defeating the liquid monster Chaos to the monster Dark Gaia that exists in the Earth's core, Sonic and his friends were able to be the end of them and everyone cheers and loves them.
After saving the world so many times, Sonic the Hedgehog finally gets to chill at Emerald Beach. Enjoying the view of the ocean relaxes Sonic since....well...he's blue, despite the fact that he can't swim. Lately, Sonic's been thinking about the past adventures that he and his friends had in the past. Sonic recalls his adventure in Station Square, the city that was once flooded by Perfect Chaos. It was pretty intense when the city is flooded, there were a few hundreds of lives were lost because of this. Sonic started chuckling, remembering the part when Perfect Chaos shot down Dr. Eggman's Egg Carrier, thinking it was funny thinking Eggman thought that HE can stop Chaos. Anyhow, thanks to Sonic, Tikal, an another echidna from Knuckles' tribe, took Chaos and both her and Chaos were sealed up in the Master Emerald again. Sonic then looks up at the sky....noticing that the Space Colony ARK is still there even after all these past adventures. Sonic remembers the time when he and Shadow, the Ultimate Life-Form, had their first encounter. They always delcared that one of the other is a faker. Finally, they settled the score and Sonic and Shadow fought onboard the Space Colony ARK. The battle was pretty rough for Sonic, seeing that Shadow has the power to use Chaos Control, but eventually the two hedgehogs had to settle things later as the Colony is about to destroy the Earth. With the help with Shadow, Sonic was able to stop Professor Gerald's plans and stopped ARK from destroying Earth. After that was done, however, it appeared as Shadow died as he fell towards to Earth.....or say it seems. In the next adventure, while Sonic and his buds Tails and Knuckles go after Dr. Eggman, who reveals to not be the one behind the plot and turns out to be Sonic's old enemy Metal Sonic, Sonic discovered that Shadow did survive....even though he lost his memories. But after some help from Sonic and his friends, during the invasion of the Black Arms, Shadow the Hedgehog regains his memories...and his duty to protect Earth for Maria's wishes. With that, it gave Shadow the power to defeat Black Doom. Because of that, G.U.N. made Shadow a part of the team with Rouge the Bat there too. Finally....his latest adventure was when he tried to help a new friend name Chip or, as Chip reveals later, he's actually Light Gaia. During that time, Sonic suffered a curse with Sonic the Werehog, the transformation he once had to go through after Eggman used him and the Chaos Emeralds' power to awaken Dark Gaia. But he doesn't need to worry about that anymore, as Dark Gaia got rid of Werehog in return of getting its power stronger. With Chip's help, Sonic was able to defeat Dark Gaia and bring the Earth back to normal. Thinking these past adventures makes Sonic excited and in eager for his next adventure. The question is....what future has in store for our blue hero? "
"Sonic!"
Sonic stops thinking and turns around, noticing Tails flying by. "Hey there Tails!" Sonic says cracking a smile, "Glad you can come and chill with me." Tails shook his head and said, "Never mind that. Get up and hurry. Eggman and Metal Sonic are attacking Station Square!" Sonic then gets up and starts stretching his legs. "So Eggman decides to come out of hiding huh?" Sonic said smiling as he finishes, "Finally I can crack that egghead wide open. Yeah! Let's go!" With that, Sonic already running ahead, leaving Tails in the dust. "Wait up Sonic!" Tails shouted as he starts spinning his tails into a propeller, making him start flying after Sonic.
Meanwhile deep in the Mystic Ruins, a big, fat purple cat is walking around everywhere, looking in the bushes, behind the rocks, looking at the trees for a green frog. "Froggy! Where are you?" Big the Cat said while looking around, "It's no use....I can't find him. Where could he--oh!" Big suddenly trips on something as he fell to the ground. "Ow. What did I just trip on?" Big asks himself, "Hmmm....?" As Big the Cat looks at the strange object, he then picks it up and examines it. "Oh wow," Big said looking at a Black Chaos Emerald, "What a pretty gem I found! I'll replace it with the red gem that the yellow fox took from me as a good luck charm."
Sonic and Tails then arrives near the train station, seeing a blue robot and an G.U.N soldier that was grabbed by the robot. "Spare me!" the soldier says weakly being choked to death. "Why should I," Metal Sonic asks. Metal Sonic then throws the G.U.N soldier to the wall, making the soldier unconcious, and Metal Sonic sees Sonic and Tails coming. "About time you show up my loathsome copy," Metal Sonic says. "Hey Metal Sonic!" Sonic said, "Leave these guys alone. I'm here aren't I?" Metal Sonic nodded and said, "I know that. But I have to get your attention first to notice me." "You know," Sonic says smirking, "You could have just made a huge chilidog to get my attention." As Sonic and Tails started laughing, Metal Sonic started to get annoyed. "Shut up Sonic!!" Metal Sonic yelled angrily, "I came here to settle our score once and for all that I'm the real Sonic!"
"And you will soon my greatest creation."
Everyone heard the voice and notices that Dr. Eggman just appeared before them, while in his classic Egg-Mobile vehicle. "Sonic! It is time we end this!" Eggman said a bit mad already. "Heheh. Nice to see you too Eggman," Sonic said giving him a thumbs up thus making Eggman more mad. "Don't get me started," Eggman said, "Metal Sonic, attack Sonic!" Suddenly Metal Sonic dashes toward and tackles Sonic, sending Sonic crashing to the wall. "Sonic!" Tails says now worried. As Sonic got up, he slowly smiles. "Heheh. Is that your best shot?" Sonic asks. "Not even! Now die!" Metal Sonic yelled as he charges after Sonic. Both Sonic and Metal Sonic started spinning and dashes against each other. A great attack force made them both sent them flying. After the fall, Sonic got up and jumps after Metal Sonic. "If you're going to try you're stupid Homing Attack," Metal Sonic says as he suddenly puts up a Dark Barrier, "It won't work!" But Sonic didn't use his Homing Attack as he went higher in the air. "What," Metal Sonic says being confused, "He's not using Homing Attack!" Sonic suddenly turns into a ball and falls to earth. "No but its my bounce attack!" Sonic says. Sonic bounces on Metal Sonic's Dark Barrier, thus breaking it, then bounces again but on Metal Sonic. After bouncing Metal Sonic 5 times, Sonic kicks Metal Sonic to send him flying. Metal Sonic crashed into a wall and fell to the ground. Sonic smiles. "You getting rusty Metal," Sonic asks as he streches his legs while waiting for Metal Sonic to get up. Metal Sonic finally got up and says, "Not even close! I have other tricks up in my sleeve....(Metal Sonic's right hand starts glowing) Chaos...." Sonic's eyes became widen when Sonic got worried. "Crud!" Sonic says. "Spear!!!" Metal Sonic yelled as he threw 30 lightning spears at Sonic. With careful timing, Sonic managed to dodge the Chaos Spears with ease. Sonic suddenly got hit by Metal Sonic's charged attack, since he wasn't able to get the speed to dodge Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic then grabs Sonic's throat and starts choking him. "Now you will die Sonic and I will become the real Sonic like I was meant to be!" Metal Sonic says as he continues to choke Sonic. "Sonic!" Tails says as he shoots his Energy Ball at Metal Sonic. "N-no....Tails....don't..." Sonic says weakly still being choked. Metal Sonic suddenly turned invisible, a technique from Espio's ninja powers, making the Energy Ball go through Metal Sonic and going after Sonic. Since Metal Sonic was invisible, Sonic was free from Metal Sonic and quickly dodged the Energy Ball. After Metal Sonic stops his invisible ability, Sonic kicks Metal Sonic hard. Metal Sonic was sent crashing into a green car and a person came out of the car, being angry. "Watch where ya going you fool!" the person says as he drove away with his now wrecked car. Before Metal Sonic could get up, Sonic uses his Spin Dash to send Metal Sonic crashing into a stop sign. Metal Sonic slowly gets up as his body is short circuting. "Had enough yet Metal?" Sonic asks, "You have lost!" Metal Sonic finally got up and starts laughing evily. Sonic and Tails got confused. "Why are you laughing?" Sonic says. "Sonic, Sonic, Sonic," Metal Sonic says, "I was only using half of my power. But now you're starting to bug me, so I'm going to unleash my newest power that you'll ever seen because it WILL be your last!" "Brace yourself! You're about to get a shocking experience Sonic! Oh ho ho ho ho!" Eggman said as he laughed. Metal Sonic suddenly starts glowing as lightning shoots out of his body during the transformation. Sonic and Tails easily dodged the lightning as they watched the transformation. After two minutes of transformation, Metal Sonic became a even more powerful Sonic robot. "What...has Metal Sonic done??" Sonic asks himself shocked. Metal Sonic looks at his hands. "Yes...." Metal Sonic says as he made his metal hands become fists, "This power is incredible! Nothing can defeat me with this new form!" "Glad you like it Metal Sonic," Eggman said grinning, "I made a few new twists before I restarted you and now, with this power, you'll be even more powerful than Sonic!" Metal Sonic looks at Sonic. "Behold Sonic," Metal Sonic says, "You shall now address me as MECHA SONIC!!! NOW DIE!!!!" Mecha Sonic suddenly made his right arm turn into a machine gun and starts firing. "Oh crud!" Sonic says as he starts running away. "Yikes!" Tails says as he notices the machine gun's shots and starts flying higher. As for Sonic, he continues to try evade the shots but some has hit Sonic's right arm as his arm started bleeding. "This is sad Sonic," Mecha Sonic says, "You should be fighting me! I'll put an end to this now!" Mecha Sonic then opens his chest and shoots a huge blue laser. Sonic quickly saw the laser and barely jumps out of the laser's way. Sonic then uses his Spin Dash to hit Mecha Sonic. "Heh!" Mecha Sonic says. "What!??!" Sonic says surprised that the attack didn't hurt Mecha Sonic. Mecha Sonic then punches Sonic hard and flying. Sonic then crashes into 3 buildings of Station Square. "Sonic!" Tails says now worried. Sonic slowly tries to get up. Mecha Sonic then shoots three homing missiles at Sonic. Sonic quickly jumps on one of them and then jumps towards Mecha Sonic using his Homing Attack. Before the attack could succeed, Mecha Sonic grabs Sonic and throws him high in the air. "Chaos Control!" Mecha Sonic says as he teleports. Meanwhile in the air, Sonic was still flying higher in the air as Mecha Sonic suddenly appears above Sonic. Mecha Sonic then stomps Sonic as they both head towards earth fast. The crash caused a huge explosion. Mecha Sonic got off of Sonic. Sonic slowly gets up. "(Pants) You're kinda.....tougher than.....I thought...." Sonic says weakly. "Ha ha ha ha!!" Mecha Sonic says obviously proud with his new power, "I finally win!! I'm the REAL SONIC!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Mecha Sonic suddenly glares at Sonic. "And now that I proved myself that I'm the REAL Sonic," Mecha Sonic says he starts opening his chest to prepare his laser again, "You must now go straight to the dump.....once I destroy you!!!" "No......" Sonic says weakly. "I'll save you Sonic!" Tails says as he starts flying closer to Mecha Sonic. Suddenly Mecha Sonic fires his missile at Tails. Being unable to see that coming, Tails got hit and exploded by Mecha Sonic's missile as he lays on the ground knocked out. "No!! Tails!!" Sonic yelled in fear. Mecha Sonic looks at Sonic as he suddenly, his metal platelett chest starts to open, starts charging up his laser. "I wouldn't worry about the fox boy Sonic," Mecha Sonic says still charging his laser, "The fox is lucky that I'm not interested in seeing him dead. He will be killed though.....once I finish you off!!" "Ggghhh..." Sonic said weakly as he tries to get up while noticing Mecha Sonic about to fire his laser, "Maybe it's not him whose getting rusty......"
