Sonic Heroes: A New Beginning
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Chapter Cover: Sonic Heroes are doing their signature pose from the video game cover but with a white background.
In a forest area, three young boys were on the ground groaning as they got up holding their heads. All three looked to be around 9-13 years old.
One of the boys was 12 years old. He has blue hair with spikes in the back while the front has bangs framing his face. He wore a blue jacket, with white linings on it, and a white T-shirt inside it. He also wore blue matchings being held by a black belt. He had on red sneakers. He has emerald jade green colored eyes.
The second boy was 9 years old. He has blonde hair, tied into two fox-like pony tails, the tips being white, and three plucks sticking out. He wore a yellow hoodie with the hood being orange. He also wore jeans that has orange patches on them. He also had on red and white sneakers. He has sky blue colored eyes.
The last one was 13 years old and he quite the muscles for someone his age. He has red hair. He wore a white long sleeve shirt with a red short sleeve one over it. The shirt also had a white crescent on it. He wore geen pants and red, green, and yellow sneakers. He has cool purple eyes and had spikes on his knuckles.
"Ow, my head man." The blue haired boy complained as he rubbed his aching head. He sat up and began to look around, a confused expression written on his face.
"I feel dizzy." The blond boy said before he sat up and shook his head.
"What the heck is this?" The red head asked, sitting up and rubbing his head.
"Um guys?" The Blue Boy said, getting his friends attention. "Where are we?" They blinked at him before they stated to look around as well.
"I don't recognize this place Sonic." The Yellow Boy replied.
"I have no idea neither." The Red-Headed Pre-Teen said. "I can't remember what happened."
"Of course not Knuckle Head." The Blue Boy, now known as Sonic, mocked, causing the Red Head to glare at them.
"Shut up! You can't remember what happened either can you?"
"..." Sonic stared at his best friend before he looked up in confusion. "Actually, I don't remember at all. Tails?" He turned to the blond boy.
"Nope." Tails shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
"Okay, what was the last thing we did?" The Red Head asked as they all looked down. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Well one things for sure. Whatever we were doing, we must've been pretty knocked out if we slept out here." Sonic sighed. "Tails. Knuckles. Let's try and find out where we are."
"Right!" Tails said.
"Whatever." Knuckles said, cracking his knuckles.
The three boys were walking their way out of the forest and noticed that the trees were actually really small. They looked ahead and saw there was indeed a city there. A massive city with tall buildings and everything.
Sonic whistled in amazement. "Haven't seen a place like this before."
"Me neither." Tails said. "Do you think we were trying to find this city?" His friends shrugged in response.
"Let's go check it out." Knuckles said.
"Right, let's go!" Sonic said as he and the others dashed towards the city. They saw a road up ahead that leads to the city and followed it, running past the sign.
However, Sonic quickly caught a glimpse of it and saw the city was called...Megaville.
"What sort of new adventure are we gonna have this time?"

2 Months Later
Music: Empire City~Hub World: Day [Sonic Unleashed]
2 months has passed since the boys stayed in Megaville. They learned that the place was a city full of heroes. Heroes in many shapes, sizes, and form. Once the boys explored the city, they were amazed at the sight before them. They were also caught up by two police officers.
One of them, a man, was asking, more like demanding, what they were doing out on a school day. The boys explained to them that they just got to the city and were exploring it, which surprised them. The other one, a woman, asked them about their parents and where they were.
The boys were silent for a moment as they each had sad/angry (Knuckles) expressions on their faces. Tails then told the Officers that each of their parents died when they were little and that they were orphans, shocking the Officers to the core.
The Male Officer felt ashamed at himself because he thought the boys were a bunch delinquents running around doing whatever they want.
Sonic told the Officers not to worry about them since they always did a lot of traveling by themselves. But they wouldn't let that happen. They were Police Officers and they wouldn't let these children be alone. So with that in mind, the Officers brought them to the station to find out what to do with them.
They asked them if they had any money and they said they got tons of Gold Rings, shocking them even more. Once they cashed the Gold Rings in and got paid with a whole lot of money, it was decided that the boys would be staying at a house which they brought, seeing how the three children know what they were doing by themselves.
The house was suburban. It was painted white and dark blue. Inside the home was the living room, a kitchen, the closet and a basement. A really large basement that had it's own gym! The upstairs has multiple bedrooms and a bathroom. And just like any house, the place was empty. They checked the backyard and much to Tails' joy and excitement, they found a Workshop. Tails immediately called dibs on it which made his friends sweat drop.
The day after that, the boys went around the city again, exploring it once more. They saw many restaurants, parks, everything! They even went to buy a bunch of things for their house, like food, clothes, video games, TVs etc. They even got beds, which Knuckles carried due to his impressive superhuman strength.
After they got everything they needed, they quickly went home and began to set everything around the house. About a weeks, the boys had settled into their home and was comfortable. That is until, the same Police Officers from before came and checked up on them.
They quickly told them exciting news that they were gonna show them a school, much to Tails' surprise and Sonic and Knuckles' horror. It was no secret to Tails that Sonic and Knuckles absolutely hated school with a passion. The boring classes, boring teachers...and worst of all...HOMEWORK! Their number one enemy!
So the Officers took the boys to the school because apparently the Police Woman knows the Principal and she contacted him to inform him about them. After they dropped them off at the school, they quickly left because they just received a call about back-up. They told them to head into the Principal's Office.
As they walked towards the school, they heard the bell ring meaning it was time for lunch or whatever. Once they entered, they saw many students out in about wearing the same uniform. They walked to the Principal's Office, all the while gaining the attention of just about everyone, especially the girls, as they how cute and hot the boys were. Whispers started to erupt from them.
Knuckles didn't know why, but once he passed by a group of blushing girls, a chill ran down his spine as he heard them giggle. He looked at them and they blushed before they ran off making him blink.
As they continued to head to the Principal's Office, they didn't notice a boy in a lab coat was watching them. Once they made it to the Office, they met the Principle, who calls himself Skarr, and the boys didn't like him one bit.
Just by looking at him, they could tell he was once a bad guy. I mean the baldness, the scar on his blank left eye, the way he carries himself and the atmosphere! If anything, this guy was like a skinnier, meaner, more serious version of Dr. Eggman.
The Principal informed the three young heroes everything about the school. The class, schedule, everything. He asked them some questions about where their from. Sonic told him he came from Christmas Island. Tails told him he's from Westside Island. Knuckles told him he came from Angel Island.
The Principal raised an eyebrow at that. While he heard about the small island Christmas Island, he never heard of West Side or Angel Islands. But he decided to ignore it and just continued on with the questions.
He asked for their names and Tails was the one who gave him his full name. Sonic and Knuckles gave their names but told Skarr that they don't have last names. He said it was fine but likely he didn't care. After the questions were over and done with, Skarr gave them their schedules and welcomed them to Megaville Elementary. He told them that they can start tomorrow, much to Sonic and Knuckles dread.
Everyone in school wears a standard school uniform as they noticed on the day they came. The boys wear a white blouse, black tie with a brown jacket. They have blue trousers with a black belt but still remain their own shoes. The girls on the other hand wear a blue shirt with white sleeves and a blue skirt.
So the boys decided to wear modified versions of the uniforms. Sonic wears a blue jacket, instead of the brown one, and a blue tie. Knuckles wears a red jacket and a red tie. Tails wore yellow jacket and yellow tie.
During their stay at the school, they quickly gained the popularity of everyone, especially Knuckles since he was the only kid in the entire school, heck even the world, whose ripped. Wherever he went, he would always get followed by his fan-club, much to his embarrassment since he was never good around a bunch of girls.
Hey, you try living alone on a Floating Island whose only job is too guard a powerful gem stone! Besides he never talked to a girl his entire life! So of course he would be nervous around them!
Hell, they even gained love letters from many of their secret admirers which filled up their lockers all the time.
Not only did Knuckles get his fan-club but the boys made tons of friends there. There was Timmy Turner, who Sonic quickly made friends with after he saved him from that girl Tootie, who was one of the members in Knuckles fan-club. Then there was that kid Dib, who dreams of being a Paranormal Investigator. The two met after Sonic mentioned about him running into a bunch of ghosts before.
That quickly grabbed Dib's attention as he grabbed Sonic and took him someplace quiet. Dib then asked Sonic questions about the ghosts and Sonic answered that he and his friends ran into them during their adventure on Angel Island, Knuckles' home. He told him about how the ghosts would always attack him when it got dark inside the Pyramid but disappear when the lights are on.
Dib asked if he could take him to this Angel Island and see the ghosts. Sonic agreed to it.
Tails made friends as well. There was Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, and Otto, the Time-Traveler. Knuckles only made one friend and that was Courage, the dog he had ran into, since some of the guys were scared to approach him knowing that he could knock them out in one punch.
In just two months the boys already felt like calling Megaville their home. They made so many friends and had wonderful adventures with them. But Knuckles had to go back to Angel Island, his birth place to protect the Master Emerald.
Currently in class, Sonic was banging his head on his desk. "I am so bored man." He stopped his banging and looked around, ignoring his homeroom teacher Ms. Meryl giving lessons to the class. He saw Tails wasn't even paying attention as he was working on something and Knuckles was knocked out on his desk.
If not for a smack on the back of his head, causing him to sit up with a blank look on his fac, though his eyes showed nothing but fire. He turns to the culprit next to him, seeing it was an orange haired boy. He wore big glasses and a large lab coat. He had on purple gloves that belongs to scientists and blue pants with black boots.
"Dex. Why did you wake me up?" Knuckles asked in a low whisper so only he and the others could hear.
"Because you should be paying attention instead of sleeping." Dexter replied, causing Knuckles to grit his teeth.
"Stupid cops. I can't believe they're making me come to school!" He said. "I'm the Guardian of the Master Emerald damnit! I got to go back to Angel Island and protect it."
Believe it or not, Dexter is the very first friend the boys made. After their orientation from Principle Skarr, Dexter had met the three of them after class was over, since he sent small bug to follow them. After school was over, Dexter was about to go to their house but was dumbfounded when he saw them flying on Hoverboards throughout the city. He followed after them and after some...playful fighting the four became friends.
Not only that, they told him about the adventures they had together. They told him about the Chaos Emeralds, Dr. Eggman, everything. Dexter was interested about the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald, since he never heard about such incredibly powerful gemstones. Especially the Master Emerald, since it had an infinite amount of power.
Dexter had learned that Sonic fought Dr. Eggman for a long time, seeing how he's his arch-enemy and he's been trying to find the Chaos Emeralds so that he can take over the world. There were seven Chaos Emeralds, all in different colors, and a miracle supposedly happens when all seven are collected.
That made Dexter worried.
If his arch-enemy/rival Mandark or any other super villain find out about the Emeralds, heck even the Master Emerald, the world would be in serious trouble. So Dexter made a Chaos Emerald Radar so that way they can find the Emeralds and keep them in his Lab where they would be safe and sound. So that way, when a big threat happens to appear, the Chaos Emeralds can be used for backup.
So the four friends traveled all around trying to find the Chaos Emeralds. They managed to find five of the seven Emeralds though. They needed to find two more, but they were no where to be found. The Radar couldn't pick up their trace.
Dexter shook his head. "Try telling that to them. All kids should be in school."
"He did." Tails said. "And they didn't believe him."
"Besides Knux." Sonic joined in, ignoring the fact that man in a lab coat and three girls walked in. "It's not like we have a choice or anything."
"Choice!?" Knuckles asked in low whisper as he almost caught himself from yelling. "Choice my ass! I can just leave school right now!"
"You did that 224 times already and the Officers kept bringing you back." Dexter deadpanned, making Sonic and Tails to chuckle and making Knuckles face turn red from embarrassment or anger, maybe both.
"You kept count!?" Knuckles growled. "Einstein, I swear I'm going to-"
"We're the Powerpuff Girls!"
The boys brought their attention to the front of the room as they three girls doing different poses. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles eyes were dots as they stared at them doing silly poses. Silence permeated the classroom, before the whole class, except for the boys, laughed hysterically at them.
"What exactly just happened?" Tails asked.
"Beats us." Sonic and Knuckles replied.
"How cute." Ms. Meryl said as she clapped her hands. "You have your own club. The 'Flowerpuff Girls'!"
The three girls were all very embarrassed to the point where the blonde one in blue had tears in her eyes.
"That's Powerpuff." She said looking as though she would cry at any moment.
Ms. Meryl didn't notice since she was still in her happy, sweet mode. "Oh!" She gasped. "Alright Powderpuffs. Now why don't you girls take your seats so we can get started. I just know you're going to like it here."
"The blonde said Powerpuff not Powderpuff." Knuckles whispered to himself as he sweat dropped. "Is she dense or just plain stupid at times?"
They watched the three girls take their seats as the black haired one in green threw her feet on the desk. They looked at each other for a moment before their teacher started the lesson again.
Later
It was now Recess, which found the Powerpuffs laying outside in front of a tree. Not too far from them, Sonic and the boys can hear their conservation thanks to a device Dexter invented.
Sonic sighed and leaned on the building with his arms behind his head. "So what do you guys think about them? Are they really super heroes?"
"Of course." Dexter said.
"Let me guess your gonna test them just like you did with us?" Knuckles asked.
Yup. That was the reason for their play fight. Dexter wanted to see for himself if the boys were heroes, so he tested them. He learned that Sonic can run at Super Sonic Speed. He was amazed when he found out Sonic can create a Sonic Boom in an instant. He wanted to find out more and learned that Sonic may even run beyond Mach 1 perhaps even more than that, which leaves his true speed a mystery.
He learned that Tails is a genius-level intellect and is a natural prodigy when it comes to mechanics, being an extremely capable inventor and mechanic. In fact his skills might rival both him AND Jimmy together. Tails showed Dexter his inventions like his Tornado Plane, Arm Cannon, Extreme Gear, etc. It was then the two shared a bond, especially when it comes to science.
For Knuckles, he has superhuman strength as he is able to cause massive craters, punch holes through thick steel and shatter a large boulder in pieces. He can even create incredible shockwaves. He is also an expert on martial arts as he knows various forms. He may also have geokinetic abilities.
Now that he thought about it. The boys moves and techniques seem to be based on the elements. Sonic is wind, Tails is thunder, and Knuckles is a combination of earth and fire. Not only that but their signature color represents those elements; blue for wind, yellow for thunder/lightning, and red for fire. Ain't that a big fat coincidence or what?
"Yes I am." Dexter answered. "But seriously though, there's a group of three superheroes known as the Powerpuff Girls, so those girls could be them."
Without another word, the Boy-Genius went to the girls while the others stayed behind looking at each other. They knew what Dexter is capable of, so if the girls are who they say they are, then things are going to get...very interesting. They soon followed after him.
"Oh yeah." Knuckles crossed his arms. "Things are going to get crazy here."
"What are the girls even doing here? I thought the Powerpuff Girls were in Townsville." Tails said. Yeah, he's been doing his research as well.
"Who knows?" Sonic shrugged. "And who cares?"
"Good point." Tails said.
"Greetings new classmates." Dexter said, getting the girls attention. "On behalf of our friends, we would like to express our apologies concerning that little event this morning."
Now the girls turned their attention to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Sonic nodded his head and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, Tails smiled sheepishly and said 'Sorry', and Knuckles just shrugged in response.
"However," Dexter continued, adjusting his glasses. "We were rather curious about that introduction you had. Is it true that you are claim to be...that you are 'superheroes'?"
The green-wearing girl scowled. The boys never really got their name's as they were too busy talking. "What's it to you anyway?" She asked.
"Hey chill out Little Green." Knuckles said, making her glare at him for the nickname. "We're just curious, so there's no need for an attitude."
"I was actually hoping you could show me a little demonstration of your abilities. For you see I happen to know a lot of superheroes." Dexter stated as he gave a glance at his three friends. "But none like you I have ever met. In fact, I actually happen to be a super hero as well."
"It's true." Tails nodded.
"Yeah, right." Green said. "I suppose you can read books faster than the speeding bullet."
"Hey, speed is my thing! And I'm the Fastest Thing Alive!" Sonic exclaimed.
Dexter and Knuckles shook their heads, while Tails laughed a little bit. Green raised an eyebrow at Sonic, Pink blinked and stared at him, and the Light Blue one tilt her head to the side.
"Perhaps you'd like to see a sample of my capability and to prove which of us holds true." Dexter announced. The other girls, especially Pink, seemed concerned.
"You wanna make something out of this Four-Eyes?" Green asked, her voice full of cockiness as she cracked her knuckles. "Fine by me."
"Buttercup," The pink girl finally spoke up in a worried tone. Now that they noticed, she had a large red bow on her head and pink eyes that matched her uniform. She also has long orange hair. "We're going to get in trouble if the Professor hears about this."
"Don't worry." Buttercup smirked. "I'll go easy on the bookworm. Just need to knock some sense about who he's messing with." She then glared at Knuckles. "After that he's going down next."
"What did I do?" Knuckles asked, frowning.
"That 'Little Green' crap! I ain't gonna just forget that comment Red Riding Hood!" Buttercup exclaimed, making Knuckles twitch his eyebrow in annoyance.
"Red Riding Hood!? Dexter, you better kick this girl's butt before I do it myself!" The Red-Head growled.
By now, the rest of the kids at the school yard, were coming around them, wanting to see the fight.
Music: Boss 1 [Sonic Adventure 2]
"You're about to get a big kick out of this, Four-eyes." Buttercup announced, but Dexter didn't seem intimidated in the least.
"Bring it on, Sister." Dexter replied, his hands folded behind his back, which made Knuckles groan in annoyance and Sonic and Tails to sweat drop.
Their friend had seen one too many action movies.
"You asked for it!" Buttercup shouted, before she quite literally flew across the gap between the two groups, with speed that made Sonic impressed a little bit.
This girl was fast but not as fast as him. Dexter had his work cut out for him.
"Here's foot in your mouth!" She yelled, rearing her leg back and sending a power-house kick to Dexter's head. In the time it took most to blink, Dexter's backpack shot out and began to change. The transformation was near instantaneous. "What the...?!"
The once tiny backpack had expanded to some sort of metal exo-skeleton, which blocked Buttercup's kick without even denting. "What are you, Mojo's Fan?" she asked, her teeth clenched and giving Dexter an angry scowl.
"Whose Mojo?" Sonic asked, making Tails shake his head while Knuckles just shrugged.
"You will refer to me as none other than Dexter: Boy Genius!" Dexter replied with a smirk, the light from the sun reflecting off his glasses, giving him a very creepy look.
"Oh great he's doing that again." Knuckles shook his head. "He did the same thing with us."
"No kidding." Tails sweat drop.
"You've got to be kidding me." Blossom, the girl in pink, thought to herself, while her blue-wearing sister, Bubbles, hid behind her. "Wait til the Professor sees this."
"Prepare yourself." Dexter said, adopting the same cocky tone Buttercup had been sporting not moments earlier. "For you are about to feel the ultimate power of science."
"Science, Smience." Buttercup said in an annoyed tone. "Just let me kick your butt so we can finish this."
"This might not end well," Sonic said, as Dexter reared back his giant metal fist and delivered a punishing blow to the concrete walk below, Buttercup having managed to leap over the tech-user.
"You're better than I expected." Dexter said, smirking as he saw the girl in mid air. "Impressive..." Using mechanically enhanced speed, his hand shot up and grabbed her ankle, beginning to swing her around. "But futile!"
"HEY!" Buttercup shouted. "LET GO!"
"I can't look," Bubbles whimpered, hiding her face in her hands as the other students began cheering, getting into the fight.
"Alright, that does it!" Blossom said, adopting a look of determination as she leapt into the fray.
Seeing this, Sonic quickly dashed in her path, shaking his head.
"Hey, wait a second." He started to wave his hands defensively. "Listen, I know she's your sister and all but trust me when I say Dexter is a really cool guy! Besides two on one is hardly fair don't you think?"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Blossom shouted.
"WHOA!" Sonic did a back flip as he dodged a jaw-breaking uppercut, he looked and saw Blossom dash to Dexter, who looked back with a raised eyebrow
"Let go of my sister...NOW!" Blossom delivered a round house kick to Dexter's stomach, sending crashing him to the ground and letting Buttercup go.
"DEX!" Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles yelled as they ran to their fallen friend.
"You okay man?" Tails asked as the Boy-Genius nodded his head.
"I am fine."
"Damn, she knocked the wind out of you." Knuckles chuckled, getting a glare from Dexter.
"Look Dex, what do you say we call in a tag out?" Sonic asked, looking back at the girls and seeing that all three decided to fight together as team. "Cause from the looks of it, those three are ready to kick your butt."
"I can't help but agree." Dexter said.
The three heroes looked at each other as they nodded with smirks on their faces. They turned around to face the girls as they looked at them with determined expressions.
"Sorry girls. But you'll be fighting us now." Sonic said.
Knuckles cracked his neck and knuckles. "Been a while since I had a good fight."
"You three are about to get pound Powerpuff Style!" Blossom exclaimed.
"Oh yeah?" Sonic asked. "Team Sonic is gonna take you three down! Bring it on!"
So, the two groups had an all out brawl. Sonic was up against Blossom as he dodged all her punches and kicks and gave her a taste of his Spin Dash. Blossom dodged out of the way before her eyes widened as she saw him turn around and began to circle around her really fast, making her dizzy.
Sonic got out of his Spin Dash and jumped back, grinning at Blossom as she shook her head and turned to him. He waved at her cheerfully, winking to her, making her growl before she charged at him. As Sonic kept dodging her attacks with ease, he kept making goofy faces at her making a red vein to appear on her head.
"Will you cut that out!?" She roared as her head grew and she had a comical angry expression.
"Make me~" Sonic sang making her grit her teeth.
"HAAAA!" Blossom fired an energy blast at him, making him tilt his head to the side.
"My turn!" Sonic took out a glowing Gold Ring. His whole body started to get enveloped into a golden light. He then charged at her with his Super Spin Dash.
Blossom's eyes widen from the sudden display of power and the sudden increase in speed. She held her arms out and grabbed hold of Sonic's Spin Dash, causing her to be pushed back as she stood up her ground. She then threw him in the air, flying to him, before she kicked him back to the ground as he screamed.
Sonic flipped in the air before he landed on the ground. He looks up and saw Blossom charging at him, her fist reared back. He charged at her and the two clashed, both turning into blue and pink streaks, as they went at each other.
Tails was against Bubbles as he used his Arm Cannon and fired off multiple energy blasts, getting her to dodge them. Bubbles sent energy blasts of her own though Tails made a shield to block them thanks to his trusty Shield Bot. Tails then used his Thunder Shoot technique but Bubbles flew to the side dodging them. She turned back to Tails and saw him throw a box full of Rings at her.
She caught the box and looked at the Rings curiously.
"Oh~" Bubbles said. "Shiny~"
The box exploded as Dummy Rings surrounded her and caused tiny explosions to appear round her. Bubbles blinked at the funny attack before she looked at Tails and her eyes widened as he was bowing to her.
"I'm so sorry about this pointless fighting! Please forgive my friends, especially Dexter for what he did!"
"Ah! It's okay!" Bubbles smiled cheerfully. "But I'm a Powerpuff Girl and I can't let my sisters down!"
Tails smiled at her with a determined look on his face. "Right! Me too!"
They went back to fighting each other, though in a now playful manner.
Knuckles and Buttercup, well they were duking it out non-stop, both of them in red and green streaks. They were calling each other names and insulting one another, while punching and kicking each other, though they always end up getting dodged or blocked.
Knuckles couldn't help but notice that were some excitement in her eyes while they were fighting. But then again it could be his imagination. He blinked as Buttercup gave him an uppercut to the chin sending him flying, he flipped in the air and charged at her using his Screwdriver attack.
Buttercup dodged it and it was surprised when Knuckles grabbed her leg and began to spin around before he threw her away. Buttercup landed on the school building before she charged at Knuckles, catching him by surprise before she punched in the stomach in rapid punches.
Knuckles grit his teeth. He had to admit he did not see that coming. He soon grabbed both of her fists and flipped her over his shoulder, slamming her on the ground.
"That was a dirty trick you Green Rat!" Knuckles yelled in comical anger as he glared at her.
"Like your one to talk you Red Mutt!" Buttercup yelled back, glaring up at him, before she dash at him in a green streak.
The two then back to insulting each other again.
Dexter was impressed with the fighting in front of him and could hear the cheers from all the others students. He was about to go and help them but a hand stopped him. He turns around and he blinked at who it was.
Sonic was about to use his Homing Attack on Blossom but he stopped as something or someone caught his eyes, making him stop his attack and turn stiff as a board, which made Blossom look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked.
"Guys!" Sonic called out to everyone, only to get ignored as they were still fighting. "Hey guys stop fighting!" Right now, he twitched his eyebrow in annoyance. "HEY! TIME OUT! He roared out, which made everyone stop and turn to him.
Music Stop
"Dude! What the hell!?" Knuckles demanded as Buttercup was sitting on top of him, gripping his shirt and rearing her fist back, getting ready to punch him.
"Yeah we were still fighting!" Buttercup exclaimed. "Why did you stop us?"
Instead of saying something, Sonic pointed in a direction. They followed his finger and Tails couldn't help but gulp while Knuckles muttered something under his breath.
There, behind Dexter, was a man in the blue sweat-suit, a wooden sword strapped to his back and a whistle around his neck. He had long black hair tied upward in a knot, and had calculating, but generally kind eyes.
"Hey Sensei Jack," Sonic said, smiling sheepishly at the man. "What's up?"
Jack didn't say anything as he narrowed his eyes slightly and had a stern expression on his face.
Music: The Past [Sonic Adventure]
Up on the rooftop, a figure shrouded in shadow looked down at the events with interest, stroking the white hair of a young girl, dressed in a white dress.
"Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles...a.k.a. Sonic Heroes." The large figure said, more to himself than anything else. "The Children who has been blessed with the Power of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald...and the Powerpuff Girls...Townsville's Mightiest Heroes...we'll see how well they live up to that reputation. Each day they become stronger, more powerful than I had ever dreamed them to be." Looking down at the girl, he patted her head.
"Bell, my dear." He said as a bunch of robotic monsters appeared behind them. "I believe it's time you get acquainted with some new friends...I'm sure they wouldn't mind letting you into their group. After all, you are a Powerpuff Girl yourself."
"Powerpuff Girl..." Bell whispered.
"But not only that..." X took out a file and read it. "I do believe it's time for Sonic to meet his...twin brother." He closed the file and read the title.
