A Sonic X Fan Fiction

CH.1: Boredom on the Typhoon

Sonic yawned as he stared at the passing stars through the Blue Typhoon's window. So far the radar hadn't detected any planet eggs nor any Chaos emeralds making him extremely tired. The crew themselves were going insane with boredom and the entertainment on the Typhoon was endless! Sonic lost count of the stars and made his way to the radar, still no sign of anything, he thought. Cosmo and Tails were touring the Typhoon, Amy was snoring in the command chair seat, and Cream and Cheese were in the engine room bugging Knuckles, while up here he himself did no real fun at all! "Eggman where are you! Shouldn't you be messing up or on the prowl for emeralds?" Amy in the command seat turned over and dreamt more. Sonic sighed impatiently and just as he was about to leave, the radar blinked. "Amy wake up! Tell the others we found something, hurry!" Energy pulsed through his veins and as the crew came piling through the door they could tell they had hit the jackpot.

"The signal is up ahead," Tails said, he too was excited at the news. Sonic turned to his friend and gave a thumbs up, Tails smiled and everyone else smiled too. Miles "Tails" Prower was 10 years old and had been developing his genius IQ for quite sometime. He had been an admirer of Sonic before Amy and had gone to such lengths as to keep up with Sonic. The two formed a friendship when, to both their surprise, had an interest in planes. Tails furthered his love by learning mechanics; Sonic's original plane was the Tornado, in Station Square Tails built, along with the help of Chris Thorndyke, another plane called the X Tornado. The Blue Typhoon was another, this time a ship to go into outer space to stop the Metarex threat.

"I hope this one isn't a dud," Cosmo said. Cosmo was the last of her kind; her species were killed off by the Metarex, emotionless beings bent on power and destroying the planet's core, the planet egg. She wasn't trained in combat, but when her new friends were in danger, she got feisty. I will destroy them, she thought to herself, to get away with their evil deeds will only cause more to suffer. They have a weakness; with the help of Sonic I'm sure we'll win this.

"It looks beautiful," Amy commented on the view screen. Amy was Sonic's girlfriend; everyone had gotten use to it, except Sonic who couldn't bear her at times. At the age of 12 she was traveling through space and trashing up Metarex, not many hedgehogs her age did this. Tails had twin tails and was a fox; he had golden fur and at the age of 10 was practically the smartest one aboard the ship. Cosmo's age was indeterminable; she resembled a peaceful flower of green and white. Amy was a pink hedgehog; she loved pink and wore a pink dress, her temper led her at times to smash things. Then the bridge doors opened to reveal Chris.

"Hey…how come no one woke me up?" Chris Thorndyke, like Tails was a genius in some parts. However, Chris wasn't the age of 12, in fact during his travel to Sonic's world his cells had gotten scrambled from 18 to the age he was the last time he saw Sonic. All the lessons he learned in school were still fresh in his mind, but some of the adult growth didn't carry through. Chris was the only human aboard the Typhoon and it was by his creation that he was here now.

"You seemed so peaceful Chris," Cream said, "after all those nightmares we thought we'd let you rest." Cream was the youngest of the group and always was accompanied by her Chao Cheese. The Chao were mysterious creatures that had been around forever. Cream still missed her mother, but wanted to help Sonic and company in the battle ahead. Her ears were big and allowed her to fly in the sky, with the help of Cheese the two were a mighty duo. "You seem better now."

"Let's stop staring at that planet and get going," Knuckles said impatiently. Knuckles was about 16 years old and like Cosmo was the last of his kind. Angel Isle was his home where everyday he protected the master emerald. Before him was his race; and in warrior like fashion roamed the country side in battle. Tikal was a spirit of a dead princess who told him the story, her entrapment in the emerald was terrible, but in the end she got to rest in peace once Chaos was taken care of. Seeing he wasn't needed on the bridge he went to the engine room to look after the master emerald. Tails began to take sensor readings of the planet and brought up the analysis data.

"The planet's temperature is 50 degrees and the once blooming planet has turned to a frosty nightmare. No Metarex are around so it's safe for us to land. Two Chaos emeralds are located in the northern valley; each is hidden in the lower valley, which may mean we'll have to ski down." Sonic went to the storage compartment and pulled out the snowboard and mufflers. "The landing party will be Sonic, me, Cosmo, and Knuckles, the-."

"Tails what about us?" Chris stood by a scared Cream and a ticked off Amy, "we deserve to go as much as you, I mean have you forgotten about the Metarex stronghold?" A few days ago they had come upon a flying fortress with a count of 2 Chaos emeralds. Dr. Eggman in his usual trickery wished for a partnership. Chris had stolen the 2 Chaos emeralds from Eggman after Shadow delivered them and took them directly to Sonic. The planet egg however was lost and without it the fortress began to implode within. The group considered what he said and couldn't argue. "I suggest we let Amy and cream stay."

"Hey-what's with that? I helped Sonic as much as Chris and this is my reward? Sonic, stand aside and let me-." The huge mallet like Pico Pico hammer was revealed and as Amy held it above her head Sonic rushed forward and steered her aim elsewhere. She hit the deck and as it shook, Chris sighed out of relief. "Sonic I want-."

"Amy this isn't a time to want," Sonic said. "Look we need someone responsible and good at defending anything without giving in, both you and Cream are under that category. We'll be back before you know it and then…we'll talk." This caused Amy to relax and Sonic himself, who was afraid he'd have to snatch the hammer from her. Tails hit the landing controls and the Typhoon went into its landing cycle. Ice shot out from the surface and before it hit the Typhoon Cream had hit the shields. "It'll take a while for us to land, I suggest we fit in some R&R while we wait," Sonic suggested with a yawn. It was agreed and as everyone left the bridge they didn't see Shadow. Shadow came from the shadows of the ship and scratched his chin. He took a look at the plotted coordinates and tapped the magnification scope. 2 Chaos emeralds glowed before his eyes.

"Might do Eggman some good to find some emeralds. I should report what I've seen." Appearing in his hands were two Chaos emeralds. With their power he could go anywhere, so once again wit the two emeralds held close together he said, "Chaos control!" In a flash of white he appeared on the bridge of Eggman's ship. Decoe and Bocue turned from their stations and Rouge gave him a curious look. "Sonic is heading to the snowy Metarex planet. It's coordinates are 2:16, their sensors detected two Chaos emeralds, I suggest we go there."

"It might do us some good," Eggman said thoughtfully, "alright, Bocue enter the coordinates and take us there. Shadow your proving yourself more and more, I'm proud I found you." Dr. Eggman was in theory to be in his late 40's or early 50's, no accurate age has been found yet to be acceptable. He was overweight wearing a red outfit and was balding. For years unknown he was hunting Sonic and in original fashion try to destroy humanity. They failed and he often was left in a flaming wreckage after Sonic and friends were done.

"Coordinates entered Dr.," Bocue reported. Bocue and Decoe were two experiments made by Eggman, both failed experiments when their original design was superior and smart. Rouge was a secret agent working for an agency back in Station Square, for now her current status was working for Eggman, and at any possible and available situation try and leave with hidden loot. Shadow's story had to do with Gerald Robotnik who wanted to do good, when everything went wrong Shadow became evil. The granddaughter of Gerald, Maria told Shadow to help people, so part of him revolved around good. "Dr. Eggman there's a Metarex following us!"

"Decoe full power to the engines and don't slowdown!" The engines roared and everyone barely had enough time to get a hold of something. The Metarex held its ground and scanned the ship with its mysterious powers. It then reported to its master.

"The Eggman is heading to the planet, require assistance." As he waited he observed the movement of the stars and planets. The trail left by the enemy was still fresh. The Metarex were armor like beings, their existence in the galaxy had lasted ages. The fact that they had two enemies to deal with complicated their plans of total domination. A crackling noise was heard and in the space before him a shimmering shape was seen. The Metarex commando stood there awaiting orders.

"Assistance is granted. Report to the planet and delay any plot the enemy Sonic has. Their resistance is noted, in the end we will not fail."
