Sonic Wars
Act I
The EmpireForeword: You can skip this if you want, just go down to the part where it's just italics
Okay, You can go ahead and say now, that I am EXTREMELY bad about finishing my stories. But Don't worry, I WILL finish this story. That is a promise. I have been kinda playing this out in my head for a long time now. This story is just gonna kinda be my end point. After this is over, I probably won't be writing much anymore.
This is going to be an extremely long story, with about 5 different "acts" planned. These Acts will consist of an unknown number of chapters, but you can bet each one will be over at least 20. So, expect a long story ahead.
A couple of things will influence this story. Most of my influence will come form the Halo series (Created by Bungie Studios) And the Star Wars series (LucasArts) So a lot of stuff might seem similar. They probably won't ever read this in their lives, but I would like to say Thank You for bringing us some very epic series'.
Okay, I'm done rantign now.
Disclaimer: Sonic the Hedgehog characters and places all belong to Sonic. Planets belong to God. I am just making up some of the ship names and stuff. Heck, some of these names aren't even mine, so they belong to their respective creators.
Set about 40 years after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog (Next-Gen.). The human race has advanced far in technology since then, and has made their way to colonize other planets, as far as Saturn. An exploration shuttle has set off forUranus, only to find something else made it there first…
This is assuming that Next-Gen actually happened.
Also, check my profile for detailed descriptions of the different things in here. There is just too much to describe, and it will take away the actual story. Sorry.
Things to check:
G.U.N. Scout Corvette
G.U.N. Ryu-Jinn Starfighter
EGG Eagle Starfighter
"Exploration Corvette Viator reporting. Uranus in sight. We will launch the terra-formers soon."
"Copy that, Viator. We will stay with you the rest of the way."
Shadow took his hand off the button. Terra-forming was an extremely long process, but it was interesting to watch, especially on a gas planet. The Viator wasn't his preferred ship, however. It was one of the oldest ships in the Fleet. He preferred the cockpit of a Ryu-Jinn fighter, or the bridge of his own ship, the Judgement.
"Err…Captain?" One of the crewmembers had turned his head to Shadow. The scanners near him were going wild.
"What is it, Corporal?" Shadow asked. Terra-forming normally required a ground squad to stay aboard the scout transport. Although it was unlikely to meet any hostile during the terra-formation, it was standard protocol, and Knuckles was a by-the-book person. He was stubborn, as well. If he made a decision, especially with the Fleet, it was going through.
"I have some strange readings on the bio-scanners. There's something alive on Uranus." The crewman replied. "And not the bacteria that are normally on Uranus. This thing is massive."
"Show me." Shadow ordered. Technically, not being part of GRound (Yes, both the G and the R are supposed to be capital), Shadow has no authority over the corporal. However, the Viator was officially Shadow's ship, as much as he didn't want it.
The corporal brought the scans on his command screen. He was right. The thing was massive, covering at least 80 feet.
"Cross-reference the scans with any past scans." Shadow said. The corporal complied, and fired up the search. Shadow waited.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. "It's done. Search brought up nothing. Either it's something new, or it simply hasn't been scanned before." The corporal reported. Shadow straightened a little. Something new.
"Send the scans to Miles. He should be able to make somethi-" Shadow was cut off by a loud bang. Two more followed. Alarms started blaring inside the shuttle.
"Damage report!" Shadow yelled.
"Significant damage to the hull, one of the airlocks have been compromised. Secondary engines destroyed. Terra-former offline!" One of the crewman yelled back.
The terra-formers were down. They were under attack, and the Viator has no weaponry. It barely has the hull mass to survive a single turbo-laser battery. Secondary engines disabled. Shadow was surprised the old ship held together. And where in the world were his Ryu-Jinn fighters?
"I want a scan, now! Find the thing, and tell me what's happening!" Shadow ordered. The crewmen immediately complied, and started the scan. More bangs shook the silence. This thing wouldn't hold much longer…
"Oh my! What is that?!"
Shadow looked around. The Corporal was pointing to something beyond the entrance to the bridge.
A small red ship, roughly the size of a small car, was flying toward them. It looked like a large bird. An eagle, maybe.
"Ah, crap. What's he doin' here?!"
"Stow it, Corporal. Where are the Ryu-Jinns?"
"Callin' 'em now, sir."
"Good, and ask them why they weren't with us."
There was a silence as the Corporal sent out the distress signal. A few second later, as they took more damage, laser cannon fire clouded their limited vision for a few seconds. Another few seconds, and the hostile fighter was engaged with six Ryu-Jinns.
"Be careful out there, we are already damaged enough. Don't accidentally hit us." Shadow said into the radio.
The fighters scrambled around eachother like gnats. A well placed shot from the hostile fighter put a Ryu-Jinn in ruins, the debris crashing into another, destroying both. Another Ryu-Jinn fired two shots from it's laser cannons. One missed, but another hit a wing, catching it on fire, which quickly evaporated due to lack of oxygen. The fighter still flew.
Another two shots from the hostile fighter put another Ryu-Jinn to dust. Just before it was destroyed, however, it fired a flurry of at least ten shots. The hostile fighter exploded, the laser fire dissipating within the explosion.
Shadow sighed with relief, but not much. Three of his best pilots were killed.
"What's the damage? Report!"
"We lost Darks 5, 7….and….1."
Shadow cringed between each death, but almost fell over at the last one. Sonic would not like this.
"…Roger that. Return to formation. We are getting out of here. The terra-former was disabled."
"Roger that, Captain. But, a word of warning. The Council won't like this at all."
"Yes, I know. I don't need to be reminded. Get to your position, limit communication to official reports."
"Roger that, Captain. Dark 2 over and out."
Shadow turned the ship around, and inputted the coordinates for an inter-planetary jump back to Earth.
Sonic definitely wouldn't like this.
Eh…not very long, but don't worry. I expect each chapter to be about 2000 words long, with battles going quite a bit longer. Good night, and thanks for reading.
