Disclaimer: This is my first fanfic and it will contain some swearing, not too major, and I will describe some minor alien gore, no human, awoken, or mobian gore will be described, just subtle hints of it. Only extremely subtle hints of sexual activity, like it'll start at the clothing level and then I'll cut it to a different scene when I feel is a good time to cut, you'll see what I mean, it won't be bad, I promise. Lastly, most of the couples will be self explanatory throughout the story for the Sonic half of this fanfic, the Destiny side I'll need to think about it more and see if it works. I'll think about making a later chapter a flashback chapter and I hope you guys enjoy this story, sorry for this explanation for being so long. Also, all non-original characters belong to Sega, Archie, and Bungie.(Doing this copyright thing just in case.)
For Sonic and his gang, this story takes place after the Super Genesis wave, whenever or however it happens, and end up back to where they were before the second one hit and brought other world's together. When they got back they were able to thwart the rest of Eggman's plans, as usual, and was able to restore Sally's original mind, but could not revert her to normal for another few months.
In the Destiny universe, however, the King's Fall mission was a failure and Oryx had let the half dozen Guardians go so that they could wallow in defeat. Oryx was able to force his way into the Vault of Glass and access multiple time lines, bargaining the other species of darkness with leaders lost to the guardians. This destabilized the entire universe, making it collapse within a few days time. Both light and dark forces were able to evacuate most of their citizens from their home worlds and colonies. They all survived the collapse, but at the cost of their homes and people who were forced to be left behind.
Now the Taken, Hive, Fallen, Cabal, Vex, Exos, Awoken, and Humans must find a new home and hopefully see if Light or Dark will prevail in their war.
Chapter one: The beginning of the end?
It was a peaceful day back at New Mobotropolis, Sonic and his temporary robotic friend, Sally, were enjoying a walk around the place for the fun of it. After Sally's conscious was restored, the Freedom Fighters told her that she wouldn't be back to her flesh and bone self for about another few months. But that didn't stop her from helping out both Team Freedom and Fighter, eventually being called the Freedom Fighters again, with problems like Dr. Eggman and politics, business as usual.
In the meantime, they had already spent a good 12 days back together as a team, half thwarting some of Eggman's later plans, and the other half just spending time together after Eggman disappeared after the sixth day, partly because he gave up, and partly because Sally threatened him to stay the hell away from her sight if Eggman knew what was good for him. So, after the incident with Eggman, they didn't have much to do but get used to Sal's new metal body for a few months. At the very least, she can move her mouth and eyebrows for expressions, which is helpful, instead of always having a murder face on.
Long story short, Antoine was recovering from his coma, waking up four days prior to this story, Bunnie legionized herself to help her friends, which means they had to cut off her left arm and both legs and replace them with robot limbs, ouch, Ixis Naugus and Geoffrey St. John went back in their own bodies, Naugus being able to turn himself back to his normal self, minus the extra voices in his head, the secret freedom fighters revealed themselves to the normal freedom fighters and told them to keep their team a secret, at least to the public and Naugus, Shard, a reprogrammed Metal Sonic, was repaired and brought back from oblivion, and Snively was back under Eggman's command, but was watched upon frequently.
"So, do you feel comfortable with the whole "robot with laser swords in her wrists" shtick yet?" Sonic asked, just trying to make conversation during their peaceful walk.
"A little bit, still it could be worse." Sally said in a mixed voice of her own and a robotic one.
"How so?" Sonic said.
"I could still be under Eggman's control, continuing his dirty work." Sally said with an "obviously" look on her face.
"Hm, we haven't really done a lot when it comes down to missions as the Freedom Fighters, have we?" Sonic asked, trying to change the subject.
"Well what do you expect after going through something like that... incident? I'm sure I would try to hide for a few days after experiencing something like that." Sally said, before starting to look down after remembering what she had done.
"Don't be so down, you didn't realize until after that little threat," evidently, Sally had threatened Robotnik to keep cutting him until she reached his heart, and didn't realize until after that "little" threat, "it was just some pent up rage from years of fighting him. Also I think he soiled himself in the process of being scared." He said, which made Sally laugh a little from that image.
While they were at it, they were gonna go to Antoine's room at the hospital to check up on him. When Antoine woke up from his coma, he had some catching up to do, what with Bunnie legionizing herself and Sally freed from Eggman's control. He surprisingly got over it in about 12 hours after realizing what has happened for the past few weeks. Of course he was kept in his hospital bed for the past 4 days to make sure there wasn't any permanent damage. Luckily, he seemed to be very healthy, as if he wasn't in coma, and everything was like he remembered beside Bunnie being legionized and Sally being a robian chipmunk.
As the couple (and yes they will be together) went into the entrance of the Tommy Turtle Memorial Hospital, some people did stare a little bit longer at Sally, since she was still a robian, which she just brushed off as normal for the time being. 'Just a few more months and they won't stare at me like a killing machine. Kinda thought they would-', her train of thought was cut off as she was about to run into Sonic. "Hey, are we able to see Antoine right now?" Sonic asked the lady at the desk. "Yes, in fact, I think he's about to leave" she said, surprising both Sonic and Sally that Antoine was already fit for duty. "Thanks for letting us know." Sonic said before going to the elevator with Sally next to him.
When they called the elevator and it's doors opened, they caught both Antoine and Bunnie kissing in the elevator before realizing that they were being watched from the other end of the doors, with Sonic giving the married couple his usual smirk. "Sacre bleu." Antoine said with some shame his voice. Bunnie had post genesis wave looking robotic limbs on her, but pre-genesis wave organic parts as well, wearing her usual pink leotard with some denim shorts on while Antoine looked like his pre-genesis appearance. "Don't worry, I'm sure me and Sonic would have done the same." Sally said. Bunnie giggled at the thought of catching Sonic and Sally in the middle of their own make out session. "Well, it is nice to see the both ya here." Bunnie said as the four of them made their way to the exit. "Well it's not every day that you see someone recover from a coma like Ant here." Sonic said before letting Antoine check himself out. "Well, it iz also not every day zat you get to stay in ze hospital for 4 days after saying you feel fine." Antoine said with his heavy french accent mostly intact.
After leaving the hospital, they thought it would be best to visit their other friends and show that Antoine finally got out of the hospital and feeling well enough to go back on some missions. While walking, some people saw that Antoine was moving about without help from anyone, some clapped at Antoine from recovering so quickly and some went about their business and smiled at the group seeing that the Freedom Fighters were back to full strength, with some helping hands, of course.
However, they had to stop and look in the direction that most of everyone was looking, only to see some object descending from the sky, and looked more and more egg-shaped the closer it got. "It seems I can finally prove zat I'm well enough to fight." Antoine said preparing to go into action as the Death Egg Mk. 2 descended enough that it was visible to everyone from miles away.
"Ah thought you told him to stay outta your sight, sugar." Bunnie said looking at Sally.
"Guess I wasn't clear enough, alright let's get tails and-, the hell." Sally said when seeing the Tails doll in front of them.
"Activating mass teleport matrix," the Tails shaped doll said, catching everyone off guard as to what it was talking about, "Firing."It said before the group covered their eyes from a red flash of light.
When they uncovered their eyes, they were shocked when some of the citizens that they saw before the flash mysteriously vanished. "What in ze world did zat overweight bastard do." Antoine said in a confused tone with a bit of anger to it.
"Establishing connection from Dr. Robotnik to the remaining residence of New Mobotropolis, follow me to the front of the castle." Tails doll said before leading a the group of four to the front of the Castle of Acorn.
Not before long the remaining Freedom Fighters, including the Secret Freedom Fighter, met up with Sonic, Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine in front of the castle, excluding Nicole, the city's artificial intelligence. When they got together, the doll summoned a holo screen with Eggman's face on it, looking with a serious look that even Sally found curious from the hatred of seeing him.
"Hello fellow Freedom Fighters, I am here before you for an ultimatum, to get right down to it. I'm sure you saw that funny looking doll make a bright light not too long ago, go ahead and ask Nicole about what happened just then." Robotnik said with the same serious look on his face.
They all gave the doctor some angry looks when Nicole came in, post genesis appearance, looking a little distraught, surprising everyone, except Eggman. "What's wrong Nicole?" the real Tails said. Nicole tried to make words, but she was still processing what just happened. "Is there something wrong Nicole?" Sally said before the A.I. said something. "Every citizen in this city, even Naugus and Geoffrey, just...vanished." Nicole finally spat out, which everyone responded with gasps and glares at the screen.
"Before you say anything, yes, this was my doing, everyone, except you guys, have been teleported to one of my stations, far to the north. Here, I'll show you." Eggman said, still serious, before pressing some buttons and showing them a glass wall with people from New Mobotroplis and other areas in the world they recognized, Angel Island, the Dragon Kingdom, Mercia, so on and so forth. Some people were trying to break the wall, Naugus couldn't do much without his staff which is most likely in the throne room somewhere on the floor.
"Here's what I plan to do with them if you don't cooperate. I modified the roboticizer in their cell to turn them into Robians and change their hearts into bombs that will destroy them instantly, if you guys try to capture them, they will blow up," everything he said added to the fire of rage in the Freedom Fighters, "If you try to remove the bombs from their chests, and regain their Mobian consciousness, the bombs will deactivate, but if you build a deroboticizer and put their heart bombs back in before they can return to normal, two seconds after the bomb is put back in, they will die." This bit of news actually shocked the team that it was so cunning and evil.
"They will also be programmed to fight on every front you have done to the last robian limb they still have, and cyber attacks of course won't work...and the princess won't get her body back." Eggman said with his serious face intact, but shocked the group as a whole, more so for Sally. "If you wish to spare them, then I would like you to meet me on the Death Egg, turn Sally back to normal, having her die as she should, make sure that everyone that I encountered gets to the city, and then I will give you an hour and a half for your last goodbye's as I end your misery." Eggman continued in a somewhat mournful voice, the Freedom Fighter just stood there dumbfounded on what Eggman just told them, which also made the people behind the glass wall go silent as well.
"If you try to get the people behind me in one fell swoop, they will be injected with poison that will kill them instantly. I'll give you some time to think about what I stated, and just so you know" Robotnik continued, getting everyone's attention," I'll try to keep my empire from doing drastic things when you guys are gone, and also... there are fates worse than death." Eggman finished before the screen disappeared and the doll went limp on the ground.
The big group of Freedom Fighters just tried to process what happened, whilst noticing that Cream and Cheese, Cream's chao, was also gone. "No, we need to find a way to get them without ending our own lives in the process, we have to," she said before turning to the group behind her," We're the Freedom-, Sonic, are you okay?" she asked with Sonic on the ground just staring at nothing, like they already lost. "We can't Sal, there's no way." Sonic said while fighting back some tears and trying to keep calm in all of this madness. "Don't you dare give up on me Sonic." Sally ordered, but Sonic was saying other wise in his own words. "GIVE UP!? Look at what we have, we either kill our own friends and family, yours included, or sacrifice our live for theirs, and you get you body back months in advance. So you tell me, is it alright to...to" Sonic couldn't fight back his tears anymore and surprised everyone with what he would say next at the top of his lungs,"TO KILL ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO HAVE AN "A" FOR EFFORT AND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE'S BLOOD ON OUR HANDS, because I surely don't know what to do, I just don't know what to do!" Sonic said as he burst into tears that the only right thing to do is to give in and die, or be responsible for the death of millions, if they resist Eggman's ultimatum.
Sally just wanted to cry from the realization of what Sonic, not just thought, but knew was the right thing to do, alas she couldn't from being made of steel and other alloys that were once flesh and bone.
"What do you want us to do, Aunt Sally?" Tails said, which everyone, except Sonic just looked at her, she was the only one making the call here, try to save everyone and have them killed or turned into robians, or give up and save the world from the evil Doctor Robotnik.
"Nicole?" Sally said, still looking at the group.
"Yes, Sally?" Nicole responded with a hint of defeat in her voice.
"Call Eggman, I made my decision, it's very obvious what we need to do." Sally said, just then some other friends not captured by Eggman showed up, looking down themselves, the Chaotix from Angel Island, and Team Dark from G.U.N., minus Hope Kintobor, Robotnik's niece.
"Sally, Eggman is ready to talk with you." Nicole said.
"Put him through." Sally ordered with a sad tone to it.
As soon as Robotnik's face popped up in front of her, he said,"So, I'm guessing you have an answer for me?"
"Just to get this out of the way, every fiber of my mechanical being wants to beat you to bloody pulp, and that I would rather die fighting than just give up, but we have no choice other than to do what you want us to do." Sally said.
"I understand, first I'll deroboticize Sonic's old man, then you will be next, it's the least that I can do." Eggman said, sending a reasonable shock to the FF from Sally's response and Eggman's generosity. "I will meet you in a few minutes, until then, Tails doll, send Jules the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sally Acorn to the deroboticizer room." The doctor said. "Yes, sir." The doll said as it floated back up and the red thing on it's antenna glowed, sending Sonic, his father from the cell in the northern base, and the robotic chipmunk to a random room in the Death Egg. After several minutes of waiting and examining the room, Eggman was there with a serious yet depressing look to him.
"Jules, please step in the platform in that machine, over there." Said the Overlander, pointing to the big machine in the back of the room. Jules stepped onto the platform and readied himself for some pain. "Activating deroboticizer," he said as he fiddled with the controls and the machine came to life, "initiating deroboticization in 5...4...3...2...1." Then in green light, slowly but surely, they saw mechanical parts being transformed to it's original flesh and bone parts. Within roughly 32 seconds, the process was done, and an organic Jules walked forward and gazed at himself, and looked to the overjoyed yet sad hedgehog and robot chipmunk. They both hugged him goodbye, no words given to either of them as it would make his goodbye all the more hurtful, and Jules was sent back from a flash of red, leaving some tears behind as he left.
"Before I go up, what will you do when we're...gone?" Sally asked looking to Eggman.
"I'll just keep my chapters from causing too much havoc, might retire in a decade or so, then see if I can launch a space program, then just do what comes to mind sometime after that." Eggman explained.
"Hm, how kind of you." Sonic said in a tone of mixed sarcasm and depression.
Sally mimicked the sound of inhaling and exhaling and then said "Let's get this over with."
All the while of walking up, she wondered why Eggman decided this course of action. "It was the realization after you threatened me, that one obese man could cause so much hate amongst friends, family, ally's, everyone. It's about as generous as I can get really." He explained, which gave peace to the mechanical furry of why and how this action came to be.
"Alright, initiating deroboticization in 5...4...3...2...1." And, like Jules, she too was flesh and bone once more, although feeling longer than usual. Her appearance was that of the post genesis wave, minus the goggles, surprising both Eggman and Sonic in her new appearance, even she was surprised to see it. She then went up to Sonic for the long awaited kiss, but Eggman stopped them and told them an important detail, "Now, when you get back to the city, I'll give you one and a half hours before I blow it up with the Egg Annihilator, then I'll release the prisoners and set them free, wonder the world and make some new lives. I am sorry if this upsets you. I told the prisoners that this will happen, please understand, it reminds me too much of my old self." He explained, giving a minute for the couple to understand what it meant to him.
"Will the Acorn Family perish along with our home?" Sally asked. "No, they will continue to live on, except for Elias." Robotnik said. With a sigh, Sally instinctively activated her ring blades without knowing her new bracelets were weapons. At first surprised, she then looked more nonchalant at Eggman and asked, "What would happen if I killed you right now?" She said it with a tone of her not wanting to hear the answer to, but needed to anyway.
"I know that you won't kill me under most circumstances, but in that kind of situation I went ahead and added this," he said, showing a small heartbeat monitor with some readings they could hardly make out, Sally now looking dumbfounded at the possible extent of his "kill everyone" part of the ultimatum. "This device is connected to both my heartbeat and the poison injectors on the prisoners." He said, giving both Sonic and Sally the realization of just how dedicated he is to this deal they have. Looking down slightly at the ground in defeat, Sally then said "Just send us back." In another flash of red light, the couple was back in the city and actually shocked everyone with Sally's new appearance.
Everyone prepared for the coming inferno that will take place moments later. For a whole hour, everyone that still had family and friends said goodbye to the ones being held at Robotnik's facility. Afterwards, they went to Chuck's Diner, with his ironic permission, to just hang out for another few minutes and enjoy their last meal together, especially Sally since she couldn't eat from being a robot. While they were eating, everyone told the adventures that they went on, mostly remembering old ones with a good laugh to it, and some of them being ones that Sally did not hear of since becoming Mecha Sally.
"Ah see that our girl here has some new accessories on her." Bunnie said jokingly. "They're more than meets the eye, let me demonstrate." Sally said, getting up from the booth. She then held her fists up and suddenly, two laser blades came out of the new accessories, clarifying that they are fashionable weapons. Everyone gasped at the new weapons Sally produced from her wrists, almost asking why not threaten Eggman to stop what he was doing like last time, hint, hint. "Before you ask, I couldn't threatened him since he knew I wouldn't kill him, and I couldn't kill him because he has a device that connects to both his pulse and the poison injectors." Sally explained, which everyone was at first dumbfounded to hear what length the war monger would take for his end of deal, then some of them just nodded and saying that it was a pretty smart move, even for Eggman, one of few compliments he would receive that day.
After the meal that they enjoyed, everyone went back to the now deconstructing castle to face oblivion. Sonic and Sally went to the Lake of Rings, where the chaos' were also teleported away from, and enjoy a few moments there. They both decided to lay down and see the sky before meeting they're doom and not have the Death Egg in the way. "You know, this was a great ride we had." Sonic said, one arm behind his head and the other around Sally. "Yeah, it seems that way. I wonder if our families will move on from this or try to stop him." Sally said, now in a cuddle position holding Sonic in both arms. "They don't seem like the kind of people to start war over a heroic sacrifice like this," Sonic said, "It wouldn't be like them to do something like it at all, well, maybe your family, but-" Sonic was interrupted by Sally hitting him, in joking way since she knew that he was using a joking tone with his statement on her family.
Sonic chuckled then said, "Don't worry, I'm sure they'll behave after today." With that Sally moved her upper body on top of Sonic, prompting the both of them to smile at each other, followed by a kiss between the two. "It was nice knowing you Sonic." Sally said. "Same here." Sonic said before they continued kissing. Sonic then proceeded to...um... put his fingers in Sally's vest and undershirt, Sally not caring, reaching only about an inch before hearing, "Whoa, whoa, careful now, there could be kids watching from a far." Spooked by the robotic voice, Sonic and Sally stopped they're attempted love making to only see a male human figure with a helmet, some strange looking body gear they don't recognize, and a cloak with a hood over the mask, with a horn protruding from the helmet. They did feel a little embarrassed from the figure possibly spying on them for quite some time.
"Were you... spying on us?" Sally asked with an awkward tone in her voice.
"Do you mean the entire group or just you guys?" The mysterious figure asked.
"Let's go with yes on both of them." Sonic said, with a more serious look on his face.
"I started to spy on you guys as a whole for about 45 minutes, and I will say that that pink... uh... hedgehog did cry a lot of tears when talking to her loved ones. Then I spied on the 2 of you since you guys split from the group, hard to keep up with the blue guys speed, but I managed." The figure said, actually surprising Sonic that he was able to keep up with his movements.
"How were able see us when- oh, never mind." Sonic said, looking at the rifle on his back.
"Actually, it was with this bad boy." The figure said before an unrecognizable sniper looking weapon appeared from thin air. "This is a sniper that a lot of people call the IceBreaker. Took me a lot of money to get this from someone else." The couple then started to look all gloom and stuff from remembering that they will die in a matter of minute, still impressed that a stranger like him could summon a weapon like that from nothing.
"Yes well, you should probably get out of here, this whole city is going to be destroyed from the giant metal egg above us, the group of people included, so that should prompt you to leave ASAP." Sally said, with her and Sonic sporting some sad faces on them while holding each others hands.
"Yeah, no. See, I have orders to stay here and make contact with you after my "boss" tries to stop the whole destroying thing from happening, but that's out of the question with what you guys were doing and- hold on, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The man said before slowly taking his helmet off, showing that the horn seemed to be attached to his forehead.
This really caught the couple off guard, seeing that the "man" was really a robot, advanced looking, even if he was roboticized. He had blue lights with some eye like features for eyes and a robotic structure that was a mix of robot and human. A teal color was around the more solid pieces of his face, minus the plate for base of his horn and the parts where his cheeks were or would've been. The part where his cheeks would've been at was some black metal, whenever he spoke it seemed to operate like a jaw, with an orange light from the jaw itself whenever he spoke.
"My full name is Cayde-6, vanguard for the hunters, best looking Exo you'll ever see. But you can call me Cayde, short and simple, nice to meet ya." The android said giving them a thumbs-up to the still surprised couple.
