On an Earth in another dimension, it is much different from our own. While key events had also happened, they happened with different details. The Government of the largest settlement on this Earth is known as the United Federation.
On what started out as seemingly just a normal day for this Earth in 2015, it was the day the human race never thought would come. First contact with aliens, unfortunately for them the aliens did not come in peace...
An alien race known as the Black Arms had invaded and managed to wipe out a percentage of the world's population. The governments of the remaining world banded together, united to fight the alien threat.
It had seemed like a lost cause; however a man came forward with the technology to fight off the invasion. The CEO and founder of a little known robotics company called Eggman Inc; Doctor Ivo Robotnik had created impressive weapons and robots that were capable of fighting against the Black Arms. He had supplied them to the United Federation.
After more than a year, Doctor Robotnik had managed to create a bomb capable of taking down the mothership of the Black Arms. A secret mission by the military managed to pull off taking the bomb to the mothership and it went off, taking down the majority of the Black Arms fleet. The remaining Black Arms creature were defeated and the War was decided.
Doctor Robotnik was hailed as a hero and the United Federation and the other world governments began getting to work rebuilding the world.
It was almost a decade after the end of the War...
Central City, the capital City of the United Federation, it had appeared to be like any other cities but most of the buildings still looked a little worn out. Along with police officers there were SWAT Bots, large bulky robots created by Eggman Inc to help the police forces. There was a dark red light in the eyes of the SWAT Bots that looked a little scary to the citizens that would look up to them, as they easily towered even the biggest bodybuilders, wrestlers and mixed martial artists.
Passing by the memorial monument to those that were lost in the War against the Black Arms, was a large military vessel. The vessel was marked with a logo that consisted of a red circle with a blue G. This was the logo of Guardian Unit of Nations or G.U.N. the main military force of the United Federation. Inside the vessel were several people in dark blue suits, sitting near the front was Abraham Tower the supreme commander of G.U.N.
Commander Tower was dressed in a dark green military uniform and had greyed hair and wrinkles on his face. If you would stare at him in person you would be staring at a man who looked like he had gone through hell itself. He had been a veteran of the war against the Black Arms and had been the field commander of the mission that put Robotnik's bomb onto the Black Arms mothership, barely having survived the mission. He had retired after the war ended from field duty and it would lead to him becoming the Supreme Commander of G.U.N.
The vessel stopped in front of a large headquarters building, the entrance of the building had above it a large electronic billboard of the company's logo. The logo consisted of an egg shape which had a face on it; the face had goggles, a large smile and a cartoonishly long brown curly moustache.
"Sir; you know the Doc the best out of all of us, how do you think he will take the news?" asked one of Towers' associates. The commander said nothing and just motioned them to follow him inside of the building. The receptionist and all of the other guests and employees gave a salute once they caught sight of the G.U.N. personnel.
Tower told the receptionist once he walked over that they have an appointment with Doctor Robotnik. The receptionist called on the phone and then told the commander and his associates if they could wait for a moment.
They sat down at the waiting area and soon enough the elevator opened up revealing, Doctor Ivo Robotnik with his arms up in the air and a jovial smile as if to greet everyone in the area. You could tell from a glance that while the image in the company's logo was based on him, it had been greatly exaggerated.
The man was slightly overweight and a bit short, his head was bald, he had a brown moustache but it was not as curly or long as in the logo. His attire consisted of goggles, white gloves, black pants and a long dark red military coat that had been buttoned up.
He was joined by his nephew Colin Robotnik, a shorter slightly nervous looking brown haired man in a green labcoat and a beard. Robotnik went over and took Tower's hand to shake.
"Abe; my friend, I always look forward to visits from you and G.U.N. Come with me and I will take us to the meeting room I have set up." Robotnik told Commander Tower motioning him and his associates to follow him. Tower sighed and followed him along with his associates. As they were walking across the halls Tower was dreading about the bad news he was going to have to break to Robotnik.
They walked past several labs and there was even an assembly line with an open window, they showed being built were attack robots built to look like cartoonish insects. There were red and blue robot beetles and blue and black colored robot bees. The robots appeared to be the size of a large dog. The G.U.N. associates glanced and battened an eye at the image.
"My newest creations that I call Badniks, attack robots when the large and bulky SWAT Bots are unable to catch a target fast enough. Moto Bugs and Buzz Bombers' don't let the appearance fool you. The PR department just wanted to address the citizen's concerns about how scary the SWAT Bots look so we have that in mind when designing new robots. I can explain more when we start negotiations on renewing our contract." Robotnik explained before motioning them to keep following him.
Tower shook his head dreading the moment when he will have to break the news to his host, he followed Robotnik as they reached the meeting room. The room had a desk and on the wall behind the desk, there were plasted different magazine covers and awards of Dr Robotnik. There were pictures of him shaking hands with various officials. One article of a science magazine had the headline: 'AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GENIUS AT HEART!'
Robotnik then sitted himself at the desk and Tower sat down on the chair in front of the desk. The associates stood behind their commander as Robotnik looked at them with a smile and his hands together with his elbows on the desk. Colin was standing near the desk facing the Commander looking as serious as he could.
"Before you give me the news you wanted to give to me, I just wanted to say that I am happy with how much we have managed to rebuild the world. The people are starting to feel safe again, in just two months it will be the 10th anniversary of the day you led the mission that won the War! We can celebrate 10 years of peace," Robotnik stated excitedly as Tower gave him a small smile.
"Yes, I know of the celebrations but relating to that... listen this was not a decision made lightly as I have been in talks with several officials including President Hurst. Ivo I want to put this as delicately as I can..." Tower told him softly, Robotnik didn't look too concerned but Colin looked nervous as to what the news was. Tower then finished "Ivo listen, after the celebration of 10th Year of Peace... G.U.N. and the United Federation will not be renewing our contract with Eggman Inc."
Colin gasped and he looked worried, Robotnik's face was frozen before it slightly morphed into a look of confusion. "But... Abe... why... I have worked hard providing the United Federation with our technology and weapons, is it because of how scary the SWAT Bots are? We can have them recoloured..." Robotnik managed to let out once he had found his voice again.
"Listen Ivo; you know since the end of the War, the United Federation and the rest of the world have been on high alert just in case any new alien threat comes but so far we have found nothing. The leaders are starting to relax a bit and after going over the budgets... There had been talks that it was getting too expensive to keep funding weapons for a war that had already been won. I was your biggest advocate on this Ivo but the decision has been made, I had to agree with the President's point that we should be focusing on healthcare, hospitals and other areas." Tower explained but Robotnik was starting to look a bit panicked.
"Listen Abe, my recent projects have gotten a bit too expensive and well... We need this contract to continue or we could be in trouble..." Robotnik explained to him sounding like he was pleading.
"You are a brilliant man Ivo, I am sure you can find another contract to create something that can help you but in this case... I am sorry but this is out of my hands. The decision has been made." Tower told him apologetically.
Robotnik shook his head and told him "can't say I am not saddened by this news Abe, still as you said I will think of something to save my company. Thank you for telling me." Robotnik told him getting his hand to shake and Tower smiled in return.
Tower then got out and greeted him goodbye and Robotnik waved to them as they got out of the room. Robotnik went to a security monitor installed in the room and watched them leave. After making sure no one was nearby, he then went into a thunderous rage.
He then pushed everything off his desk and was banging it while shouting, he refused to allow other people to see this side of him. It would completely destroy the public image he had built up for himself. "Stupid ungrateful bureaucrats, not only did my Bomb win us that war but it was only because if my inventions that the Humans ever stood any sort of chance in that War!" Robotnik thundered looking like he could smash everything in his wake.
"What are we going to do Uncle Ivo sir, the Board is already concerned about the recent costs and the stock, once we lose that contract..." Colin stammered only to be taken by the collar and pushed out of the way by Robotnik.
"I already know all that Snively, don't pester me with what I already know!" thundered Robotnik, 'Snively' being an unflattering nickname he had given to his nephew that he almost always used in private.
"As to what we are going to do, we are not losing that contract. I will need to find a new threat to the world, there might be some Black Arms still hiding on Earth. There could be any other threat in hiding, once it's revealed. The public will be in a panic and the UF will have no choice but to renew our contract. It's out there and I just have to find it..." Robotnik muttered once he managed to calm down.
He had some work to do.
A month had passed after the events of this meeting, but to continue the story we must reach beyond the Earth of this dimension. Far away in another galaxy there was a planet called Mobius.
The dominant species of Mobius were a race of different colored humanoid animals, they were about a few feet tall compared to humans but the Mobians had built their own society on Mobius. It was mainly green grass on Mobius but there were different villages, settlements and kingdoms on Mobius.
On an island settlement known as Westside Island, there was a large green hill that was overlooking an abandoned tomb. Flying towards the hill was a red bi-plane, the plane landed not too gently on top of the hill. Inside the pilot's seat was an angry looking purple hybrid of a weasel and a wolf. He had fangs, a long black nose, brown boots, brown gloves and a brown fedora.
Resting on the wing of the plane was female bat with pink skin, purple wings and white fur on her head. She was wearing a black sleeveless outfit with a pink breastplate, long white boots and long white gloves.
Sitting in the passenger's seat was the third and youngest of the trio was a nervous looking yellow and white furred fox that was in his early pre-teens, what was the most notable thing about his appearance was that he had two tails.
Angrily the weasel jumped out of the plane as it sounded like the engine had broken down. He then began kicking the plane angrily before pushing the fox out of his seat. The weasel named Nack was the leader of the trio and he didn't look happy, "Tails, you stupid child! You assured me that this piece of junk could survive the trip, what good are you as a mechanic if you're stupid repairs cannot survive even a simple ride?" Nack snarled into the fox's face making the fox look scared.
The little fox had no known name and Nack had gone to calling him 'Tails' after his two tails. "The plane is quite old Nack and it has been a long trip... I can have it fixed so it can survive the trip back..." Tails stammered looking fearfully at the older weasel. The bat named Rouge swooped down and then came between them.
"Cut the kid some slack Nack, his repairs got us here. He can stay here and fix the plane while we go and get the Emerald. He can guard the rest." Rouge told Nack and he seemed to calm down. He then went to the trunk of the plane and got out his sniper rifle as Tails got out his toolbox. Right next to the toolbox was a box filled with 6 glowing different colored emeralds. "Give us 30 minutes before you get worried and try to come for us." Rouge told Tails and he seemed to accept it as he got to work repairing the plane.
"Make sure nothing happens to these Emeralds, we went through ha lot of trouble to get them and if we lose them because of your incompetence then the rest of your life will be filled with pain. That I promise you!" Nack warned Tails whispering into his ear. Tails gulped as he gave a nod.
Nack then calmed himself down as he thought of the big payment that he was promised by their employer if they collected all 7 of these emeralds. With that loot he may be able to retire, buy a huge castle on an island and a large pool to store all his money and the rest of his loot.
Rouge used her wings to fly down the hill to get to the tomb while Nack ran down the hill. Rouge got to the entrance of the first and let out a gasp at what she had seen. Nack was about to ask what was wrong before his eyes widened in alarm as to what they saw.
It appeared the door to the entrance had been blown open and there were remnants of explosives there. Rouge went to check on them with her gloved hand and told Nack "it's still warm, someone got in before us and they may still be in there. We still have a chance to get the Emerald before whoever got here first does..."
Nack snarled as he muttered "no... I am not losing our full payment jsut because someone got here first!" Nack snarled as he rushed in with Rouge not that far behind him.
They began carefully exploring down the steps and into the corridor; Rouge had brought a torch from the plane and was shining it so they could see.
They carefully stepped around what seemed to be broken down traps which were taken down by whoever had gotten here first. "Looks like whoever got here first had as much an easy time taking care of these so called traps as we did when we got the other Emeralds..." muttered Nack shaking his head feeling a bit glad that it was not much of a challenge.
"Whoever hid these Emeralds thought they could use these traps to garb the tombs, but didn't take into account that they couldn't hold up well after thousands of years." Remarked Rouge with a smirk thinking about it, soon they came across a large hallway and looked up at a large tall podium.
Nack's eye widened in fury when he spotted scaling up with climbing equipment was a blue figure. The figure reached the top and it was a blue hedgehog with pink skin that was in his early teens. He had red and white running shoes, white gloves and a brown bandana scarf.
The hedgehog grinned to himself as he reached and got the Emerald from the podium, he then jumped when he saw a shot being fired at him that jsut barely missed him. He looked down and saw Nack aiming his sniper rifle at him.
There was Rouge floating in the air with her hands stretched out, "Sorry Mr hedgehog but we will need you to give us our Emerald." She stated with a warning tone of voice. The hedgehog just smirked as he then began running down the podium.
"Sorry lady but I was here first so finders keepers, alright. Plus the name is Sonic the Hedgehog." The hedgehog told Rouge managing to run down the podium and saw that Nack was aiming his rifle at him; he saw that Rouge charged at him and managed to get out of the way in time so it caused Rouge to end up landing into Nack.
"Catch you later guys!" Sonic told them with a mocking salute as he then began running down the corridor. Rouge helped Nack up but he just yelled at her to go after him. They began chasing after Sonic as he then ran out of the tomb and up the hill.
He spotted the plane and grinned thinking that he had found his getaway, he looked behind him and saw that Rouge and Nack were not that far behind him.
Tails had just finished the repairs of the plane but seeing a stranger going up the hill he then jumped fearfully into the passenger's seat. Sonic then got up and then jumped into the driver's seat as he then putting on the controls.
Nack spotted this and snarled out loud "we told the stupid kid to protect the other Emeralds and he can't even do that right, the kid is useless!" He then jumped on the wing of the plane as Rouge flew up. The plane had gone into the air.
Sonic looked into the rear view mirror and saw that Tails nervously put his head up, "Sorry, is this your plane?" Sonic asked looking behind him with a smile. Tails then nodded his head silently wondering if Sonic should focus on driving the plane. "The name is Sonic the Hedgehog, what's your name little one?" Sonic asked and Tails was weirded out that the hedgehog that stole their plane was being so friendly to him.
"Well they call me Tails..." Tails muttered nervously and it looked like Sonic was putting his hand out for him to shake. However Nack had gotten to the seat and pulled his extended hand out, Sonic managed to hang on as Nack reached for the Emerald in the driver's seat.
"That's my emerald you stupid purple rat!" Sonic shouted angrily managing to hold on by the door to the trunk of the plane. Rouge was floating nearby trying to shout at Nack to get the wheel but he was too focused on their enemy.
Sonic managed to open the door the trunk and got in, he then curiously found the sack with the other emeralds in them. "Wow, you have quite a collection going on here." Sonic remarked out loud as Nack then looked behind him.
"That's our loot you spiky haired fiend! Leave those alone!" Nack shouted as Sonic decided to jump down as the plane was heading down; with his free hand he was able to snatch the Emerald from the driver's seat. Nack tried to catch him to get the emerald back but he was only able to catch the bandana which he managed to tear off.
Nack then threw it away as Tails panicked and jumped down not wanting Sonic to fall and die.
He then propelled his two tails making them spin like a helicopter allowing him to fly. He then caught Sonic. "Wow this is amazing Tails, I never saw a flying fox before!" Sonic shouted in amazement. Tails was surprised as he was not used to being complimented like this.
"Tails, you idiot! Get the Emeralds back and let the loser plummet!" Nack shouted just as Rouge began shouting right at him to get the controls. Tails then began flying down wanting to put Sonic to saftey.
"Look, I am not stupid! I have control of the plane, don't try to remind me! Remember I am the leader and I know what I am doing..." Nack shouted only to pause when in his anger he accidentally managed to punch right through the controls. He then looked worried as Rouge then shook her head with an exasperated sigh. She then pulled out Nack and began flying as the plane began falling out of control to the ground.
Tails managed to safely place Sonic on the ground; they took a moment to catch their breaths. "That was awesome, how did you make your tails fly like that?" Sonic asked jumping in excitement to the red faced Tails.
"Well it's a trick that I taught myself, Nack finds it useless most of the time since we already have Rouge who could fly better and an actual plane... Well we did..." Tails muttered thinking about how furious Nack will be if he finds him.
"Well how about your friends, so were out and about collecting these rocks?" Sonic asked showing him the bag of the 7 Emeralds he still had.
"Well, we hunt bounties and find treasures... Wait, do you not know about the Chaos Emeralds?" Tails questioned as Sonic just shrugged.
"Not really, I was exploring the island when I stumbled across the tomb. Took me a few weeks to get the explosives and equipment I would need to go inside and see what was inside. I like to go and find adventures." Sonic explained but then looked concerned when he saw that Tails was becoming more nervous and afraid. "Worried about how your friends will react if he sees you again?" Sonic asked in concern and Tails nodded.
Sonic then thought it over and then put his hand on Tails' shoulder. "Tell you what, I could lead you to my place at the village. Its' not much but it's a place to live, I will be here to protect you if your pals come looking for you." Sonic offered Tails who looked surprised that he was being offered someplace to hide form Nack and Rouge.
Tails then thought it over; he could earn Nack's favour by snatching the sack and going to look for them. He could make the excuse that he was just trying to make sure they didn't lose the Emeralds.
Then again Sonic was being nothing but nice to him and nothing he could do was ever good enough for Nack. He only stayed with the group because he honestly had nowhere else to go. No other options and here was another one being offered to him.
Tails then made up his mind and gave a small smile and nod to Sonic. Sonic then grinned as he motioned Tails to follow him, he then began following behind Sonic.
Neither of them could know at the time of the bond and friendship that had been born...
This is my latest attempt at a fresh reboot of Sonic, my previous attempts were basically trying to remake SatAM. I want this to be its own thing. Plus I am inspired by my excitement for the Sonic movie coming next year.
