Since my last Sonic fanfic was a little on the short side and revolved
around romance, I've decided to try a different approach for this one. This
will be longer for sure, and not centered around one genre. I hope you
enjoy my story ^_^ Reviews are welcome, flames are an option if you really
find a reason to.
I don't own Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, so on and so forth. Unless someone has already made up a character EXACTLY like them, the one time use add-in characters are my creations, and are not going to be much of a part in this. This is a story based on official, non-fan characters, okie dokie?
The Future Chaos- Chapter 1
A.D. 2015
Pain pulsed through the hedgehog's veins in a steady, beating rhythm. He forced his eyes to stay open. If he didn't, the humans would do what they described as "messing around with him". This culture was strange is some ways. Intelligent people with sickening minds.
Sonic's arms ached badly. They were shackled to a metal table. His legs had the same binding on them. It had been a few years since he first arrived at this laboratory. But they were long, terrible years of being confined inside this protected structure. It was almost unbelievable that Earth was so different before. Everything changed so quickly.
It all began when computer technology was at its currant height. The demand for the newest technology increased rapidly. A large economical war broke out between competitive companies, all promising the very best futuristic appliances. Each wanted to monopoly the industry. This, in turn, broke out wars in nations a well. The whole world went into a modern day kind of World War 2. It was complete with atomic bombs, nuclear 'accidents', and endless threats sent from one place to another.
Fourtunatly, this ended relatively quickly. Until the human's curious nature took over. They always have to know more and learn more, answer more questions. It just then dawned on them that they're hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, was much different than them, and something more to be studied. So they captured him and locked him up, along with many of the 'others' like him. The hedgehog was merely a lab animal to everyone now.
There was only one place on the planet where Sonic's kind could find peace. This was the island where all of his friends were currently residing at. The island was named Avalon. The governments of the world came to the agreement that Avalon would be left alone by scientists who wished to 'study' these creatures.
Sonic would have done anything to be there with the people he knew best. He'd love to see Tails tinkering in his workshop again. Sonic and Knuckles could joke around and give each other a few friendly punches, and Amy would hug him and smile. But the dream faded and whisked him back into the cruel reality. Avalon-
Miss Rose, as her students would call her, reclined in her rolling office chair. Lead scratched against paper as the students completed their English tests. One by one, they filed up to Amy's front desk and carefully laid the finished product on it.
(Brrriiinnnngggg)
Miss Rose stood up and announced "Please remember that your book reports are due on Monday! Have a good weekend,"
The kids grabbed their books frantically and headed for the door. Lockers opened and shut, sneakers squeaked on the linoleum floor. Another day at Green Valley Junior High School had come and gone already.
Amy gathered her test papers and got up from her seat. She stared blankly at the floor while walking out the door and accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Mr.Matthews!" Amy apologized quickly to the principal.
He looked at her with kind eyes under his glasses. "No need to apologize, I was just going to introduce you to the newest teacher here. She's taking the place of the old Algebra teacher."
Beside Mr.Matthews was a female chinchilla. Her fur and long hair were a sort of turquoise color, and she was wearing a denim skirt and a white shirt. Under small- framed glasses, dark blue eyes examined her new colleague. The woman extended her hand and said "Pleased to meet you Miss Rose. My name is Trixie Burr."
Amy shook Trixie's hand and smiled. "Pleased to meet you as well. I hope you enjoy teaching at our school. If you ever need help, remember I'm here.
Trixie returned her smile and nodded. "I'll remember." Mr.Matthews motioned toward another classroom and Trixie and him began to walk away. Amy headed toward the front door of the school and out into the parking lot. Ah, finally some fresh air. She took a few deep breaths, then pressed a button on her key ring and her car door swung open.
It certainly wasn't the most up-to-date thing to drive, but Amy's pink 2009 car did its job well. Inside there was a little built-in refrigerator, a plasma TV screen, and an MP3 player. She could hardly imagine how many new trinkets were in this year's latest model.
As soon as she stepped inside, her eyes met with a variety of pictures cut out from various newspapers. They had headlines and top stories that told of the adventures of the past. Adventures that Amy remembered well, although they seemed to take place so long ago. A certain blue hedgehog graced every one of these memories, carrying with him a wide smile. Amy still longed for those days when they were all teenagers. But those days were over. The group had long since went their separate ways.
Sonic was, as far as anyone knew, dead. He had been captured and taken away to a laboratory. Knuckles abandoned Rouge for the Master Emerald, and continued to guard the jewel with his life. Rouge now owned a jewelry store by the beach, about an hour's drive from Amy's house. The Chaotix still had their detective agency running, and no one knew what had become of Shadow and his clones. Tails and Cream were engaged, and everyone was very excited about the upcoming wedding, for it would be the first time in a few years that the group could reunite.
Dr. Eggman, unfortunately, was alive, but not a threat to the earth anymore. With his genius thinking, he began a computer company called Robotnik Industries, and now was a billionaire. His most famous invention was a security system for the White House that completely eliminated the need for bodyguards, which earned the doctor a number of awards. Soon the same security system was set up all over Washington DC, and then in many peoples houses.
All of these things ran through Amy's head as she drove home from work. The school week had come and gone so quickly, it seemed. But it gave her a strong feeling of accomplishment. In her opinion, one of the best joys in life was helping children learn. Teaching wasn't a chore, it was a passion.
The pink hedgehog climbed the stairs to her apartment and dropped her bag full of tests on the kitchen table. She hurried to her bedroom and shut the door, then flopped down on her soft bed and closed her eyes. No matter how rewarding teaching was, it wore Amy out just the same.
The Floating Island-
The echidna's eyes were fixated on one thing: the large, green gem that sat on an ancient alter. It's strong glow used to sting his eyes when he was younger, but the many days, months, and even years of watching the Master Emerald made him accustom to the bright light. This was Knuckles destiny, protecting the Emerald. It's power kept the island from falling into the ocean, and kept the world from going into complete chaos. Everything had to be in perfect balance.
Watching from afar, a peach colored orb took the shape of a female echidna. Tikal frowned as she examined Knuckles staring blankly at the Emerald. Knuckles had no life outside of this responsibility. He had given up everything, even his friends and his girlfriend, just to keep the Master Emerald safe. He would hardly eat a thing, which made Tikal even more concerned.
"Knuckles, are you feeling alright?" Tikal asked as she stepped into the echidna's view. A few silent moments passed.
"Will you please answer me? You aren't eating or getting enough sleep! I'm worried about you."
"I'm fine," Knuckles grunted. This was his life. He had to protect the Master Emerald. "There's no need to worry." But he didn't sound so sure of himself. Hiding behind his on-going perseverance was a part of him that was tired and starving. He longed for freedom from this prison. But he longed for a certain female bat most of all.

Eh, I'm not so happy about how the first chapter turned out ^_^; I really couldn't think of many reasons why Sonic would become a lab rat (for lack of better words). Even stupider, it turns out that Avalon means island in Latin. *hits self on head* Island island. What a genius name -_-;
