Sonic: Apocalypse
Chapter 1
Three Years Planning
Sonic the Hedgehog was on his way to the repaired ruins of the Solleanna temple that Shadow had destroyed during his battle with Mephiles. Eggman sent him and the others there on an imperative mission, involving the hieroglyphs they uncovered. His quick feet carried him across the desert at breakneck speeds, bounding off of temple stones and leaping across pits of quicksand. Soon enough, he heard a familiar voice calling to him from the skies.
"Hey, Sonic!" Tails was flying overhead on the Tornado, Knuckles sitting at the turret.
"Wazzup guys? Eggman call you in too?" Sonic started running backwards across the sinking sands, his arms behind his head, seemingly enjoying himself.
"He called everyone. Even Silver and his crew are on the way!" Knuckles sat silently on the back, staring into the distance, sensing the oncoming storm. They could finally see the temple up ahead, only a small fraction of it restored.
"Well, lets hurry then! don't wanna leave em waiting!" Sonic sped forward across the sands of time, and soon found himself bounding into the middle of the temple, the other teams already waiting, along with the reformed Dr. Eggman. Everyone who was already there seemed to ignore him, because they had just come to see something beyond mortal comprehension.
Before them stood a large stone tablet, depicting a mass of predictions, all interlocking. The centerpiece was a serpent-like devil, with two massive sets of claws, holding a set of seven gems and one great gem. Around it, three battles were depicted. The first, a fight between a spine-headed angel and a spine-headed devil in armor. The second was a spine-headed angel with red markings, vs. a demon with a thousand eyes. The last, was an angel with only two spines, vs. an eagle-like devil, wielding a black star. All of this was headed by a depiction of four devils on horses, with the omega symbol surrounding it all. This ancient tablets meaning was as clear as day. As clear as it was before the storm began to spread around the world. They had been fooled. The heroes had brought the Apocalypse.
Eggmans mustache drooped as his usual scowl became a pronounced frowning, knowing exactly how they had done it. "It seems that Mephiles and Chaos played us for fools these past few years…. Mephiles had Shadow destroy the Black Arms to send out the signal for the rest to approach… then had himself destroyed so he could join Iblis and become Solaris once again. Meanwhile, Chaos had Metal Sonic released, as well as the Biolizard, the last of Dooms DNA besides you, Shadow… Last, was for Metal and Doom to imminently die, uniting the four depicted here in the afterlife…. The Four Horsemen." Everyone simply stared at the ground, knowing the end was near. But suddenly, something came over Sonic that they should have expected.
"…… What are we just standing around for?" Every turned to look at Sonic, and Eggman smirked slightly, knowing exactly what was on his mind, for he knew his old rival well. "We've taken on a ton of different doomsday events before! And we've beaten gods! We've beaten these guys before, we can do it again!" Knuckles smiled and nodded in agreement, uncrossing his arms and stepping closer. Tails had gained a lot of confidence over the past few years, and felt that as Sonics best friend, it was his duty to help fight these four demons.
Thousands of miles away, the ground cracked open beneath the abandoned Eggmanland, and a lightning storm seeped out from the gargantuan crevest, and as a fully empowered Superdark Metal Sonic emerged, violence and hatred spreading across the world.
Shadow smirked and looked over to Rouge, as if to ask if she was joining them. Rouge nodded back, her eyes glowing slightly violet. Omega expanded his fist and growled, ready to fight at any moment.
At the GUN Headquarters, the stormy skies turned blood red and fiery gate opened in eye of the storm, as Black Doom slowly emerged as his incarnate form, and his army of hellion Black Arms soldiers spread pestilence and disease, as the sea turned to blood.
Silver started to glow bright green, the aura flowing around him like a thick mist. Blazes hand began to burn, the heat blurring her image. And last, Striker opened his eyes and glared to the heavens, as static flickered around him.
Above the heralded Solleanna, a great darkness spread across the skies, and the torch lit itself. From the skies emerged the dark being Mephiles, and the torch slowly overflowed with lava, which quickly formed the mighty Iblis. The Flames of Destruction spread across the city, and the running citizens were slowed to a stop, as if all the time in the world had gone, swallowed whole by the mighty essences of Solaris. The ground turned to ice-like crystals of raw darkness, and the sky went ablaze.
The heroes were ready for their final stand, to put an end to all the dangers they had awakened. This one fight would decide the fate of not just the planet, but the universe. Sonic stepped closer to his friends, with a serious glare upon his face. "This is it guys. This is for the universe. For everyone we've sworn to protect and cherish. LETS GO!"
Last of all, on the great Space Colony Ark, a great red flood filled the altar chamber, and slowly formed into the great god of destruction. Chaos has returned, as the mighty horseman of war.
