Sonic Universe: The Next Generation
Chapter 1: The Shattered Timeline / Learning of a Future Threat
Mobius: year 2212
Unknown PoV:
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) - [Event] The Ruined World of the Future
"I have grown up in this time and place, but everyone isn't cheerful or ever happy. They say they have no reason to be."
"I have traveled through time on more than one occasion to try to restore my own time, but . . . nothing I do seems to work."
"Are we truly destined for destruction? No, there must be a way to fix this and I'm going to find a -"
CRASH!
"Huh? What was that noise? It sounded close. Maybe I should investigate."
The figure slowly descends into an abandoned alley to confront what is hiding there.
"ALRIGHT come on out whoever you are or do I have to force you out?"
Silence . . .
"Alright then, I guess we are going to do this the hard way."
The figure begins to glow in a cyan colored light, and the light picks up a dumpster, and it is thrown at the creature.
CRASH!
The dumpster pins the body to the wall as the figure moves in for a closer look.
"Alright, what are you and where did you come from?"
". . ."
"Why won't you answer me?"
Without a single warning, the dumpster is shot clean to the other side of the alley barely missing the imposing figure.
". . ."
". . . Returning to base."
"What? Oh no you don't. You're not going anywhere until you tell me - . . . Huh? Where did it go?"
"There is some type of portal here where it was standing. I'm not letting it get away from me!"
And with that, the figure jumps in to the light and gives chase to the thing that had attacked him.

Somewhere on Mobius: 20 years later
Mobius: year 2032
Silence . . .
A portal materializes in what appears to be the remains of a courtyard as a figure and two glowing orbs emerge from the portal.
Blaze's PoV:
"I made it in one piece. Now, to figure out where I've landed and where I need to go."
As I begin to take in my surroundings, my mouth falls open in complete shock at what I see.
(0_0) "Ruins, ruins, and more ruins. What happened here? This place looks almost as bad as Silver's time."
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) - [Event] The Ruined World of the Future
"I wonder what happened to have caused this much destruction in one place." I wonder as I think to myself.
"Whatever it was is probably also the same thing that imprisoned all of the mobians on this planet."
I look up to see the two orbs swaying in the cold, hardened wind. I shiver to think of who else could still be alive on this planet seeing how uninhabitable it is now.
"No matter. I still have to save this planet and the mobians on it." I say out loud not expecting a response.
"Well, you're wasting the precious time that you have left before you get turned into a 'core'. Those two floating next to you have already become one."
I turn around to see someone standing on top of a big pile of rubble holding what looked to be some sort of sword in their hand.
Without warning, it jumps down the pile as I meet 'her' eye to eye. She had the face of an echidna like knuckles, but her face said cold and bitter.
"I'm not about to fail in my mission as you seem to think I am." I say with a *humph* as I start to walk away from her.
I could hear footsteps coming from behind me as the figure made her way toward me.
(music stops)
*humph* "You obviously have no idea what you're up against then now do you?"
"Yes and no." I say as I continue walking.
"Are you not afraid of what he will do to you?" she asks me.
"He can't do anything worse than what I have already been through in the past." I state rather smugly.
She stops talking and I assume she is going to ask me something.
"What is your name . . . and your title?"
"Blaze. Blaze the Ninja." I take this opportunity and ask, "And you are?"
"Jani-Ca. Jani-Ca the Guardian." she says to me. "Where did you come from? You are obviously not from around here."
I hesitate then say, "I come from Earth 20 years earlier."
She was obviously shocked at my statement as she just stares at me with wide eyes. "What? Is something wrong?"

"The planet that you speak of it . . ." she hesitated then continued, "it no longer exists."
"WHAT?" I was completely speechless.
"That's right. The planet known as earth no longer exists, because it was destroyed about 10 years ago."
"B-but how?"
"Let me explain the story that I remember my mother telling me." she says.
Flashback:
"Awhile back, 20 years to be precise, a gang of dark soldiers known as the Dark Legion came together in an attempt to conquer all the known worlds. They talked it over with their leader, still only known right now as 'X', but he told them that it would take years to plan the destruction of multiple planets simultaneously."
"One of the soldiers had done research and found out about 'the zone core'. He told them that the 'zone core' is the central controller of all the worlds and planets."
"With it they would be able to do whatever they pleased with their own worlds."
"The Dark Legion masters were from different worlds, but all had the same plan: conquest, domination, and destruction of their base planet."
"The worlds they came from varied, but each had its own guardian(s), hero(s), and villain(s). I still remember the list to this day:"
Planet: Guardian(s), Hero(s), and Villain(s) [Current Status]
Earth: Avatar (deceased), The Techno (unknown), Dark Lord Nega (unknown) [Status: Destroyed]
Mobius: Knuckles / Lara-Su (turned into 'soul core' / unknown), Sonic the Hedgehog (turned into 'soul core'), Enerjak (ruling power) [Status: Conquered]
Arseus: Legendries (captured and destroyed), Chosen One (deceased), Sigma Force (ruling power) [Status: Destroyed]
Sol World: Princess Blaze (deceased), Blaze the Cat (deceased), Eggman-Nega (defeated ruler) [Status: Destroyed]
Shinobia: None, None, Avenull (ruling power) [Status: Destroyed]
"and that is it basically it."
"They have the 'Zone Core'. No one can stop them now . . ."
End of Flashback:
(music stops)
FFX - Someday the dream will end
"That . . . is . . . unbelievable." I say in complete shock at everything she just told me.
"I know and now there is no one left to defend the final planet: Mobius."
(-_-) ". . . Wait a minute!"
"What?"
"I traveled in time, right?
"Right . . . I guess."
"Then this is a 'shattered timeline', one where I'm not there to defend earth, so I just need to stop this Enerjak guy and free the cores and stop any of this from ever happening!"
"But you can't stop or defeat him. He will wipe you off the face of Mobius before you even lay a finger on him."
"But that is where you are wrong 'Lara-Su'. I can defeat him and I will." I look at her with renewed determination as she stares at me dumbstruck.
"H-how did you know that that was my true name?" she says in confusion, but I continue on . . .
"You are the last guardian and the only thing standing in the way of Enerjak's plans." I state bluntly.
I take a look to the horizon as the sun starts to rise in the sky giving off its warmth and light. "Like the sun that rises in the morning, I too have risen from my helplessness and know what I have to do."
"But what hope is there to defeat him? Is there really any hope left?"
(-_-) I take a deep breath . . . "As long as we draw breath, our hope remains alive and our will to survive strengthens our power."
". . . Then . . . I will do everything in my power to help you defeat him."
"Good, then we need to get going."
"Going? Going where?"
"Angel Island, The barren wastelands, and the Dragon Kingdom."
"What? Why do we need to go to those three places?"
"There are three powerful relics in those places. My Time Emerald won't be nearly enough power to takedown Enerjak. I have to have all four emeralds."
"Are these relics special like the 7 Chaos Emeralds?"
"Yes, they each possess a unique power. They are codenamed: Blossom (grass green emerald), Sand (sand yellow emerald), Chakra (sky blue emerald), and Time (bright, white/silver emerald)."
"Codenamed? Are these emeralds artificial?"
"Yes, I designed them, in the past, from the energy of the green, blue, yellow, silver, and purple Chaos Emeralds."
"One, two, three, four, five! I thought you said there were four, not five? What is the last emerald?"
(-_-) "The Dark emerald." I say in a cautious tone. "That emerald is the strongest of the five, but it consumes the user and can corrupt them. It was last seen with my dark side 'Negatron' or Nega for short."
"Who is he? *gasp* Is he Dark Lord Nega?"
I nod a yes. "You said his status is unknown, correct?" She nods. "He is most likely alive, but I'm not about to fight him here . . ."
Suddenly, the ground begins to shake as we try to keep our balance. "What is going on now?" I ask with a hint of annoyance in my voice.
"There is a fight going on in the ruins of the Grand Metropolis zone." Lara-Su responds. "We should see if they need help."
"You go." I say abruptly. "I need to gather those emeralds; otherwise we won't have a chance to beat Enerjak."
She nods in approval as we split up and head to our destinations. Little did I know that she gave me information on a new threat that I would face in the near future: "The Dark Legion".

Meanwhile:
Grand Metropolis ruins
Sonic the Hedgehog 2006- [Event] Tension Silver Appears
Unknown PoV:
"ALRIGHT, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!"
A bright cyan colored light envelopes a white furred hedgehog.
"You seem to be growing tired. Perhaps it is time I end this fight." Two blades made of energy appear in the hands of the second figure. "Say your 'prayers' Silver the Hedgehog, but I doubt they will be heard." *Muahahahaha.*
"I'LL NEVER GIVE UP! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM ENERJAK!"
Silver rushes at Enerjak as both prepare to battle to the death.
TO BE CONTINUED . . .
Next time: Fighting for a Better Future and Blaze's Promise
Now entering the Mind Lounge.
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle – Tutorial Music
Guyro: Well that was interesting don't you think? Guys?
Blaze: Eh, felt more like filler than anything.
Silver: I HAVE TO FIGHT A DEMI-GOD!
Both: Uh, yes?
Silver: WHY is BLAZE not fighting it?
Blaze: Because, if you had been paying attention, I have to collect the other artificial emeralds before you, me, and Lara-Su (Lara-Su: Jani-Ca!) faceoff against Enerjak for real.
Guyro: Aaand, it would also throw the story off, because of the fact that you have to first fight the 'cores' of the Chaotix crew, and then battle Enerjak, by yourself before you receive any extra help. Ok Silver?
Silver: (no response)
Both: Silver?
Silver: (no response)
Both: (Look over to see Silver gone and a note on his seat.)
Silver: Dear Guyro, Blaze, and readers, I have decided for the sake of my life to leave this story and run away from the two psychotic maniacs that are trying to make me fight a Demi-god. I wish it didn't have to end this way. Signed: Silver the Hedgehog
Both: *sweat drops*
Guyro: SILVER! YOU BETTER GET BACK IN HERE RIGHT NOW OR ELSE YOU'LL REGRET IT!
Blaze: *sweat drops* (-_-) I don't think shouting at the top of your lungs is going to make him come back here. You know that right?
Guyro: (no response)
Blaze: Guyro?
Guyro: (no response)
Blaze: He's gone after Silver hasn't he. Well, I guess I'm in charge for the moment. Ok, well next time the chapter is going to start off with when Silver (if Guyro catches him that is) exited the portal and he will be able to confront the creature that he chased through time.
Blaze: Well I'll see you next time. I better help Guyro catch Silver. Later.
(The Mind Lounge is empty.)
Silver: (In the far off distant, we hear shouting.) YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!
Guyro and Blaze: GET BACK HERE SILVER!
Silver: NEVE – AAAAAARHG! (A Shadow Ball smacks silver in the back, and he trips and falls.)
Guyro: Nice shot Blaze.
Blaze: Eh, I've done better.
Now leaving the Mind Lounge.
