This isn't a chapter, but if you've never read an issue of Other-M or no longer have the link, go here:

Click on the little link called Other-M and start out at Issue #1, and you're on your way!

Like any other fanfic, you won't be able to understand it if you don't know the background from where it is based on. But look at it this way—you technically ARE reading a fanfic (or looking, you pick). Go there, read it, and when you've read up to #20, then you'll be able to come back and understand my side of the story. Kay, that's it! Simple as pie.

OR! If you're just too lazy (like me) and don't want to go through the hassle of reading an entire comic just to read this (shame on you! This is a really good comic, and I command you to read it !!), then I'll just give a "little" preface.

A rountine solo-mission into Robotropolis goes awry, and Sonic finds himself in a strange variation of the world he knew. Friend has become foe, and familiar faces mask new minds. Sonic must find the answers to who he is, where he is, and what world he knows is true.

Basically, after a face-off with Eggman, Sonic was hit with a laser from an inter-dimensional portal machine that can transport him to any given Zone. Here, however, he was transported to the weakest, most unstable of them all. Everyone and every thing have really changed. For example, in this zone, he was a coward; a nuisance to almost everybody around him and in the verge of being kicked out of the Rebellion, which was like a guerilla group to overthrowing The Dark Legion (leader being Knuckles and somebody else we all know and love…). Knuckles is what you would call the "Adolf Hitler" of this Zone, as he believes that only Echidnas are worthy to walk on ground and everybody else is inferior and the reason to why there's much turmoil. He's the leader of the military forces too, having the Chaotix as his henchmen to "deal" with any betrayers or violaters of his pointless laws. Many wars are fought between the two groups, as well as some really deep tragedies.

But when Sonic arrives and literally being treated like dirt by everyone (Antoine and Rotor mainly), he finally proves to everyone that he'll never refuse a challenge and actually aid the Rebellion when he volunteers for missions without being forced to. Here you also meet Fiona, who had always had secret feelings for Sonic, although he costed her her own two hands (which were roboticized in order for her to keep them, and also to serve as an upgrade). It is here where Sonic actually begins to fall for her although he's still in love with Sally, but she is nowhere to be found…another person being completely different is Amy. Amy, sadly, was a "specimen" of the Dark Legion, due to her highly concentrated psychic abilities. She was kept in a pod being closely monitored until they managed to rescue her. Ever since, she has provided Sonic with some crucial information, but none of them seem to ever have a happy ending…

In the end, unfortunately, many lives are lost. Who's exactly? Well that's for you to read and find out, as I'm not going to ruin the entire comic. Although what I have provided so far is really enough for you to be able to actually get a good grasp of my story now, I also must add that my story hits off after Sonic "awakes from his coma." Keep in mind that he is still in complete distraught because of how he was completely involved with the new world he was trapped in and witnessed a lot of tragedy, and when he wakes up back in the "world he belonged," he has no idea how to handle that he left the other world when they were in such a crucial moment. I still suggest you read it when you get the chance. So, with all of this said, you can skip to the next chapter!

BTW: If you can't stand cursing, LEAVE NOW!  If it really does bug people that much, sorry, but I let my neighbor read it and they commented that the story other than Chapter 1 has no real reason for being an R-rated story. So, I followed their advice. ^_^

I could always go back and edit it, but I think personally that what you write in a story and publish at first shouldn't be edited (I did once just so that way it was on HTML format, but other than that, nada)—you should think about the readers, but you shouldn't go ONLY by what they think or else it wouldn't be YOUR story. Therefore, I'm not—plus, this shows how much people can change in year's time…
