I started writing this story back in 2005, i liked it so much that went on writing it with lots of details and worked hard until i completed it in 2008, i spent 3 years on it, i hope you guys like it

note: z-12 is a clone of sonic made by dr eggman, things related to him will be explained as the story advances

note2: i made this within the universe of sonic X, so expect brief cameos from that kid chris and his family, i never had a true interest in them for this story, now lets start

note3: as i said i started this in 2005, long before we all knew the real ending to sonic X so dont bother telling me there are inconsistencies XD i'm already fixing some stuff to make it fit with the things i learned after

BEFORE THE CATACLYSM

Chapter 1: Strange happenings

Station square, a place where sonic arrived thanks to the chaos control, and a place where he had lots of adventures alongside his friends, together they all defeated plenty of times an evil scientist called Dr eggman, who was constantly trying to defeat sonic in order to start his own empire, but no one, not even sonic himself knew what eggman would be capable to do in order to achieve his evil goals.

Things would go out of control for dr eggman due to something sonic said to him at their planet home mobius: "the only way you could defeat me would be havins someone like me", sonic had no idea of what that phrase would unleash...

This story starts one day when all of a sudden every single tv station showed footage of what it seemed sonic doing eggman's evil tasks, and it was not just on earth, all of this was being heard on mobius aswell (since they had found a way to travel between worlds without the need of chaos control), the worst part was that everyone in both worlds sonic was being blamed for all the things that "sonic did".

This caused sonic and his friends to have an emergency meeting at tails's workshop

knuckles: so? any ideas?

tails: what if dr eggman activated metal sonic again?

sonic: no way, you know eggman, he never repeats the same plan twice

amy: then?

knuckles: what if he's using shadow?

tails: i dont think so, from what i've heard shadow has been busy on earth finding "information about something"

sonic: well, i guess the only thing we can do will be to wait for something to happen, and once eggman tries to attack, we will arrive on time to stop him and cleam my name

amy: allright! lets do it! i wont let anyone do this to my sonikku!

sonic quickly managed to dodge one of her hugs, everyone there sweatdropped

Meanwhile, somewhere deep undersea, someone on his submarine base was preparing to attack with his "newest weapon"

eggman: ho ho ho! everything's going according to plan! all those who thought that soinc would defend them forever at home are now afraid of him, and here on earth they dont just fear him, but also made him the most wanted criminal! its incredible what you can do with a simple quill!

a door behind him opens

decoe: next phase of the plan is ready dr

eggman: very well, proceed, and this time make sure "he" doesnt ruin it exposing himself

bocoe: shall we call "him" now?

eggman: of course! i've been training him basically since he was born, the time has come, these past weeks havent been easy, and the training has been hard for him, even after he lost his "brothers" before he was born, enough of small gigs, its time to make him face with the one that gave us his DNA sample! ho ho ho!

decoe: make bokun go

bokun: why me?

bocoe: because its your turn, besides, i dont like the idea of interrupting him

bokun: oh darn it, allright i'll go...

meanwhile in the deepest part of the base, someone was having a nice relaxing time on the holographic atmosphere room, today's theme: forest

????: wow... its been 7 months since i was born and they still feel like years... it must be because i spent nearly all of them training hard, not to mention that i just started exploring the outside world a few weeks ago...

This is z-12, his codename, since he's just known by eggman and his crew as "the prototype number 12 of the z series of clone hedgehogs", and despite having a codename just like any other creation of dr eggman, z-12 showed many times that he was more than just a clone with manipulated DNA, just now he was enjoying the "fresh air" when little bokun came to interrupt him

bokun: uhh... excuse me... boss?

z-12: yes? -he gets up and looks to bokun- hi! what can i help you with?

bokun: the time has come, dr eggman needs you, its time for your next mission

z-12: -scratches the back of his ear with his index finger in the same way sonic does- oh well... i'm coming
