About: Sonic AOTBB is a episodic fan fiction based around Sonic and his friends (making the title a slight misnomer). Characters from the cartoons may make appearances, but their importance to the story will remain undetermined at this point. Each "season" will be 10-20 episodes long, but an exact number will be determined by how fast the story progresses. There will be filler episodes; oneshots set in the AOTBB universe. I would like to see this fan fiction grow and am willing to take input on all aspects of the story. Also I will allow other Authors to make or assist on episodes, but permission and approval from myself is a must. I hope you will enjoy the first episode, the beginning of what will hopefully be a great first season. Thanks for reading – Nexter45 aka Johnson Freud
[Episode 1] One Year: No Incident
"Ahh," Sonic let out a contented sigh, "This is the life." Sonic found himself lying on a flat rock outside Tails' lab. The lab, in all its very ramshackle, parted together charm was shading Sonic and keeping him cool in the South Island heat. All was as it should be... peaceful and serene.
"Hey, Sonic!" Tails yelled at his friend, rushing from inside his workshop.
"Yeah Tails," Sonic raised a hand to acknowledge his best friend.
Tails was brimming with excitement, "Knuckles just called, he wants us to come over to Angel Island for a party!"
"A party, huh?" Sonic chuckled, "Didn't know ol' Knucklehead had it in him."
"Yeah, I know right," Tails laughed, " He said Amy came over to help him, since parties really aren't his thing."
"Well what's the occasion?"
"I dunno," Tails paused, " I asked but all he said was that this was 'an important day to celebrate' and to come over in an hour or two."
"Hmm," Sonic hummed, thinking about what possible reason to celebrate there could be.
"So... um," Tails paused, " Do you want me to fire up the Tornado?"
Sonic looked at his friend with a smile on his face, "Sure, but I want to fly this time. It is my plane, after all."
***Meanwhile***
Knuckles had been hard at work all day. He had found the perfect clearing in the jungle for the party and started setting up after Amy arrived to assist. All was going as was planned for this party. He stood looking at the set up, which was mostly complete, remembering the importance of this party. It had been exactly one year since Dr. Eggman had tried anything concerning the Chaos Emeralds, or the Master Emerald, or even world domination in general. Peace, it seemed, was attained, at least for the time being. So this celebration was to commemorate this event, in the hopes that peace would last for a while longer. Knuckles had been sure to invite everyone he was capable of (Blaze and Silver, being from a different dimension, of course made inviting them impossible). He even invited Mighty the Armadillo, who no one had seen for years due to his constant traveling. Knuckles smiled, for today, he thought, everyone would be truly happy.
"Hey... Knuckles," Amy shouted from behind him, "Can I have some help hanging this banner?"
"Yeah sure," Knuckles turned and ran to help Amy finish setting up.
***Elsewhere***
Shadow sighed, looking around his apartment in Station Square. It was a small three room apartment that had been furnished by GUN. He had only the bare necessities: a small television, a refrigerator stocked with past take-out meals, a couch that he slept on frequently, and a bed in which he hardly ever slept. The one most valuable item he had was a picture of himself, Maria, and Dr. Gerald Robotnik. He found it when he infiltrated Eggman's carrier two years ago. Though he had put his past behind him, he'd often look at this picture an reminisce about the old days, or at least all he could remember. But today he was just sitting alone on his couch, boredom lulling him to sleep when-
RING RING * BUZZ BUZZ* RING RING * BUZZ BUZZ*
It was Shadow's cellphone, which was sitting beside him on the couch. He reached down and answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Shadow, it's Rouge."
"Oh, hey!" Shadow snapped upright in anticipation, " Has GUN called us out into the field?!"
"Sorry to tell you this, Shadow, but no," Rouge replied in an apologetic tone.
It had been months since GUN had the need for field operatives, like the members of Team Dark. Shadow and Rouge had been assigned desk work, since they were no longer needed in the field. They both despised being shackled to their desks, but they still had jobs so they couldn't complain. Omega, unfortunately, had to be put into storage until his specific skill set was required.
"What do you need, Rouge," Shadow sighed into his phone.
" Knuckles just called me and wanted to invite you to his party, but he didn't have your number, so I told him I'd invite you."
"Oh," Shadow said, "I'll think about it, but there is no guarantee I will be there."
"Oh... well I figured this would be an excellent chance for you to ride that motorcycle you love so much," Rouge had a leading tone in her voice, "But if you don't want to go..."
Shadow grinned, "I'll see you there."
***Later***
"Where is everybody," Knuckles thought to himself as he looked at his and Amy's hard work.
"Don't worry," Amy said, seeing the distress on Knuckles face, "They'll be here."
As if on cue Sonic appeared to the south of the clearing.
"Yo, Knux!" Sonic yelled to his friend.
"Sonic!" Amy cheered, running up and almost knocking over the blue hedgehog over with a hug.
"I told you we should have parked on the north side of the island," Tails complained, coming out of the brush shortly after Sonic, "We would have been here much sooner."
"We made it, didn't we," Sonic said with a smile, Amy still clinging to him, "Uh, Amy?"
"Oh, right, sorry," Amy apologized, giggling.
"Glad you guys could make it," Knuckles said, cheerily taking his friends hands, "Can you believe it has been one year of peace?"
"Ooohhh," Sonic let out, "So that's what this party is all about, huh?"
"Yep," Knuckles smiled, "Can you think of anything better to celebrate?"
"Hey, Sonic," Tails interrupted, a confused look on his face, "Look at the banner; 'One Year, No Incident',"
"Couldn't you have just said one year of peace or something like that?" Sonic questioned.
"Too cliché," Amy and Knuckles replied in unison.
"Ooookay," Sonic regretted even asking.
All of the sudden the voice of Vector the Crocodile rang out across the clearing, "Look out below!"
The group on the ground looked up to be greeted with all the Chaotix, even Mighty, parachuting down to the party.
"Wow!" Tails cheered, "What an entrance!"
The Chaotix touched down only moments later, at the edge of the clearing.
"Hey guys," Knuckles waved to his former teammates, "How've you guys been?"
"Good, still plenty of people needin' help and work done, even with peace and all," Vector smiled.
"How about you, Mighty," Knuckles turned to the armadillo.
"Been traveling all around Mobius, meeting all sorts of people," Mighty grinned, "Met some really nice folks."
"Good, it's nice that-" Knuckles paused, "Do you hear that?"
It was what sounded like a small jet engine. Soon a small contraption rose above the clearing and began to descend. As it neared the ground it began to change shape, until all that was left was a motorcycle with a black hedgehog in the seat.
"Hey Shads," Sonic said as Shadow powered down his "baby".
"Hello everyone," Shadow greeted in his usual cool manner.
"Wow!" Charmy squealed in awe, "He's... so... cool!"
Shadow stepped down off his large motorcycle, greeting his friends and rivals. He sat down near Tails, one of his closest friends out of the group, "How have you been Miles?" Shadow was among the few of Tails' friends who called him by his real name.
"Good," the young fox smiled, "How's things been with GUN?"
"Well, I still have a job, so I shouldn't complain but..." Shadow paused, "Desk work is driving me mad."
"Oh, come on now, Shadow," Amy laughed as she walked past the two, "It can't be that bad."
Shadow glared silently at Amy, as he hid a slight blush from his company. It was at this exact moment that Rouge, Cream, and Big entered the clearing from the north.
"Hey Knuckie," Rouge said in her common, semi-seductive manner.
"Hrm, hmph," Knuckles mumbled under his breath, a blush on his muzzle.
" Hey, Tails look," Sonic whispered, "Knucklehead's muzzle matches his fur."
"Yeah," Tails muffled a giggle.
"Thanks for inviting us, Mr. Knuckles," Cream and her Chao smiled, "It is very nice to be here."
"You're always welcome to visit, Cream," Knuckles patted the little rabbit on the head.
"Hello, everyone," Big said in his child-like voice.
"Good, everyone's here," Knuckles reached over to a nearby table, picking up a glass, "Everybody grab a glass. Here's to One Year, No Incident!"
"Cheers!"
***Meanwhile, in some unknown location***
Two red, glowing eyes watched our heroes on a monitor as the party began. The monitor then was switched off, leaving only those two red eyes lighting the dark of the room.
"Those fools," a robotic voice rang out from the darkness, "Soon they will know the power of Metal, the one and true Sonic!" Laughter filled the cavernous room, while Sonic and company partied a world away.
