I do not own any of the Sonic characters in this fanfic. They are the property of Sega and Archie Comics. I'm not quite sure who Robo Knux is copyrighted to, but I don't own him either. I do, however, own Rahn and the Sword of Chaos. So let's get started.
Chapter 1----Introduction
****************
The village was on fire. Many mobians lay on the ground injured and unconscious. He stood there surveying the area. He could hardly believe the destruction that one robot could cause. Yet it wasn't the scene that terrified him, it was the robot who looked exactly like him. He had done all this with weapons that he didn't even know existed, and a sword of some kind that held unrelenting power.
The robot was standing over a blue hedgehog, who was severely injured, and had the sword pointed down at his face. He wanted to stop the robot from killing the stranger, but could only observe. He also noticed a female Squirrel nearby who he quickly recognized. It was Princess Sally Acorn, and she was also wounded, but not as bad as the blue hedgehog was, and was also watching the scene horrified. Then, the robot lifted the sword high into the air and started to bring it down on the hedgehog.
He then woke up, startled and breathing heavily. After a few seconds he calmed down, and his breathing and heart rate returned to normal. Afterwards, he had noticed that it was morning and shakily got out of his sleeping bag. He took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and he became more relaxed. He started to pack up all of his things, packing the sleeping bag, storing food, and what not. While doing this, a small gold emerald dropped from his bag.
He picked it up and began observing it. He had found this emerald about a week ago, the same time the nightmares started. He wanted to chuck it into a river and get rid of it, but something held him back from doing so. There was an odd aura around this emerald. Not to mention the fact that every time he touched it started to glow a brightly. Coming back to reality, he tossed the emerald back into his bag, for he had important matters to attend to.
He attached his sword and sheath to his back, slung the his bag over his shoulder, and commenced on his journey. He had gotten word some time ago that Princess Sally was alive and had escaped Mobotropolis during the coup. Because of his families close relationship to the royal family, he thought it his duty to find her. He was just hoping that if he did find the hidden village of Knothole, it wouldn't be on fire like his dreams had proclaimed.
****************
Sonic was running like a bat out of hell. Close behind him, Mecha Sonic was giving close pursuit, firing lasers and rockets and anything else ha had at the blue hedgehog. Sonic finally made it into the forest, away from the city of Robotropolis. Mecha had followed Sonic in and was having trouble navigating through the thick forest, unable to make the sharp turns that Sonic was able to make. Mecha finally crashed into a tree and fell to the ground, knocking the tree over.
Sonic stopped and saw Mecha getting up with a few dents in his hull. "Hey Mecha!" The robot turned his head. "What's the matter, run out of break fluid?!" Mecha got up and flew again toward his rival in a fit of anger. Sonic turned on his heel to start running again, but Mecha had got him in the back, and pinned him to the ground. The two rolled a few meters down the path, trying to overpower one another
Sonic finally managed to kick the robot off of him, and backflipped off the ground. Mecha got back up off of the ground and was more furious than before. "Now you die hedgehog!" Mecha activated his laser and started firing. Sonic moved this way and that dodging each shot. 'Man, how come every enemy in history can never shoot a straight shot?' Mecha kept firing at Sonic, determined to make himself the last thing Sonic saw.
****************
The traveler continued walking, his thoughts often drifting back to him and Sally when they were children. He never actually liked liked her, just liked her. He was only six years old when Robotnik took over, making Sally eight at the time. It pained him to be separated from one of the few people that ever really acknowledged he was around. But, that pain would subside, whenever he found Knothole.
Then he heard it, off in the distance. "What the...?" He tuned his hearing toward the sound. "TCHT, TCHT, TCHT!" It was definitely laser fire. He ran towards the sound of the weapon. His speed was remarkable. Running quickly, swiftly, and quietly, he made it to the disturbance within minutes.
He jumped high onto a tree branch and observed the path below. There was a blue robot firing at what appeared to be a living representation of itself. What struck him most was that this was the same hedgehog from his dreams. The traveler watched the two battle from the safety of the branch.
****************
'This is getting boring fast.' Sonic said to himself. Mecha had been missing repeatedly and had been unable to hit Sonic. Mecha decided to do something different. He fired his engine and flew into Sonic, catching him off guard, knocking themselves to the ground once again. They rolled around on the path punching, kicking, and trading blows with eachother. Finally, after much effort, Mecha pinned Sonic to the ground.
Mecha laughed menacingly at his success. "I enjoyed our little scuffle. But now, I'm going to have to kill you. So I bid you farewell!" Mecha raised his laser to Sonic's forehead. 'Oh man, this can't be happening! I can't believe I fell for the same trick twice!' thought Sonic 'How am I going to get out of this one?'. As if on cue, Sonic's question was answered.
Mecha's right arm was completely cut off from his shoulder in a shower of sparks. Someone had thrown a blade of some sort. Mecha got up off of Sonic and began scanning the area furiously for his attacker. He wasn't picking up anything on his sensors, which confused him even more. "Whoever you are, surrender, and I shall make your death quick and painless!" No response. Out of rage, he drew his other laser and started firing everywhere. Finally, he hit a tree branch, the same one the mysterious traveler was on.
****************
He saw the robot pin the blue hedgehog to the ground. Then it said something to him that was to low to make out. The he saw the laser pointing at the helpless hedgehog. Acting on instinct, he withdrew his sword and threw it at the robot. It twirled toward him and made a clean cut on it's shoulder, cutting off it's right arm in a shower of sparks. Reaching out with his thoughts, he pulled the sword back to him like a boomerang and caught it.
The robot got up off his captive and yelled a warning for him to surrender. Naturally, he wasn't going to. The robot then started to shoot everywhere with its good arm. Many shots went past him and in many other directions, but never hit mark. Finally, the blue robot managed a shot at the branch that he was on, and it began to fall. He jumped off the branch into the open area. Mecha saw him and started firing, only to have the blasts deflected with his sword right back at him, disorienting the robot.
Sonic had managed to get back up on his feet and watched with interest. The traveler finally descended from his high jump, coming down straight on Mecha. He brought his sword into a slicing position and cut Mecha's other arm off as he came down. When he landed, he crouched and did a sword spin, cutting off Mecha's left leg from the knee down. Mecha fell to the ground, disabled and defenseless.
Mecha, realizing his defeat, ignited his engine and flew back to Robotropolis, yelling a unheard curse behind him. Sonic just stood and watched him fly away, stunned that Mecha got so damaged so quickly. He came to his senses and looked at the stranger who helped him. He was a purple hedgehog, but instead of his quills coming straight back like regular hedgehogs, his came from the side of his head and curved to the ground. He had orange colored eyes as well to, which was very weird.
He wore orange sneakers with a purple stripe across the top, and elaborate green and red poncho, and a brown hat with a green and red hat band to match the poncho. While Sonic took in his odd features, the hedgehog had put his sword back into his sheath attached to his back. "You alright?" he said turning to Sonic. "What? Oh, ya I'm fine, I'm okay." said Sonic. The stranger turned back to look in the direction the robot took off. "What on Mobius did you do to make him attack you?" he asked. "Well, him just seeing me is a provocation on his part. Name's Sonic, thanks for the save back there. What's your name?"
He turned back to Sonic and introduced himself. "My name is Rahn, Rahn the Hedgehog." He said holding out his hand. Sonic took it and the two shook hands. "Nice to meet ya Rahn. Way past cool thing you did to Mecha back there." Said Sonic "Mecha?" asked Rahn "Actually the full name is Mecha Sonic. He's a robotic copy of me, and Robotniks head assassin." "I guess I can see why he doesn't like you very much." said Rahn.
How did you even manage to get that close without him detecting you anyway?" "I can put a psychic field up around myself that makes me undetectable by sensors." "You mean your psychic?" asked Sonic. "Yup, I also used my psychic energy to help me jump higher." Explained Rahn. "That's cool. Hey, where are you heading anyway?" "Well, I'm looking for a Knothole Village. You wouldn't happen to know of it would you?"
"Course I know of it, I live there. Let me pick up Mecha's limbs and I'll take you there, maybe Sally could use their parts for something." Sonic started walking over to where Mecha's parts laid across the path. "You know Princess Sally Acorn?" asked Rahn with eager anticipation in his voice. "Ya, have you two met before?" asked Sonic, interested in what Rahn's relationship to Sally was. "Me and here were friends quite a few years ago." "Well, I'm sure she'd be happy to see you then." said Sonic.
"I'll race ya there, that is, if you think you can keep up?" Rahn noticed a large sneer going across Sonic's face. "I think I can keep up pace with you Sonic." On cue, Sonic tore off down the path. Rahn stood there for a second, amazed at Sonics speed. He then focused and started running after him. Following him wasn't to hard, the dust cloud Sonic left pretty much gave way to where Sonic went. Rahn concentrated his energy into his speed and started to run faster, catching up to Sonic a little bit.
Sonic looked back behind him and noticed Rahn slowly catching up. 'Wow, he's a pretty good runner, but no way he can catch me though.' Sonic put on more speed and lost sight of Rahn. Sonic arrived in Knothole a few minutes later and stopped. He looked behind him and noticed that Rahn was a good twenty yards behind him. "Well I'll be dang! He managed to keep up!" Rahn came to a stopped in front of Sonic a little winded, but not much. "Nice job keeping up! Not alot of people are able to keep up with me." "Thanks" replied Rahn.
"You can go wait at the cafeteria over there while I go and brief Sally. I'll join you in a few." "Okay, just do one thing for me?" said Rahn. "What's that?" asked Sonic. "Tell Sally that a Mr. Ronny is here to see here, would ya?" Sonic grinned, assuming 'Ronny' was a nickname for his new friend. "Sure thing." said Sonic. Then he tore off towards wherever Sally was. Rahn sighed, glad to finally be at his destination and to be able to meet his old friend.
He decided that he would get some coffee while at the cafeteria and headed off to wait for Sonic. On his way, he started wondering if any of his other old friends had made it out of Robotropolis and were in Knothole. He decided that that could wait until later, and entered the cafeteria.
