Mobian Cop Bad Cop 2
Note: I base this story on both games and comics; thus some things have been changed, such as the comic couple TailsXMina, which makes no sense to me and to over 90% of the fans. The only couple that isn`t totally liked but that I HAVE to keep for this story is SonicXSally, because it is part of the plot. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am also reticent in using the Seedrians, since I have never watched Sonic X, and that I`m unsure it would have its place in here. Also, even though this story is set after my other Sonic fan fiction, "Mobian Cop Bad Cop", it has next to no link with the preceding one. Thus, only a few details will explain why Shadow and the OC named Alexis are friends. If you happen to get lost in the sea of details dating from X years ago story-wise, a chronology will be at the end to explain better.
Of course, I don`t own the Sonic series, nor the Ace Attorney series. Not that this story is a crossover, it isn`t. Well, not really. Depends how you see it. If you believe it could be better as a crossover, tell me in reviews. Anyway, I only own a few of my own characters here. A few others aren`t mine.
I`m co-writing this story with sprx777, and since we are good friends and we`re both quite good at writing, I expect this story to be, maybe not epic, but still great. The first chapter si the introduction; the next chapter should be up sometime this Saturday.
The dialog is in French when it is italicized. However, if it is written normally, it`s in English.
A crowd of people entered the famous Showtel. The whole population was invited to the party – although not everyone could fit into that hotel renowned on Mobius for the great ballroom on the ground floor. Sure, many guests were invited to the night: Shadow the Hedgehog, the legendary Ultimate Life Form who still looked as young as he has ever been, and then his wife Rouge, a G.U.N. agent. Interesting to notice is that Shadow, due to lack of action and evil characters to stop, had to find some way to keep himself entertained in fighting and entered the Station Square Police Department, where he now has a lot of fun bashing robbers and criminals before throwing them in jail.
We could see Tails, Sonic`s best friend, who had grown to become a handsome fox dragging the attention of many girls. He had become Sonic`s Technical assistant and was doing excellent work. He wasn`t with Cream, though some sparks of a shy romance could be glimpsed when they were near each other. After all, he was now 22, and she was 20.
Fourteen years passed since the very last threat against Mobius, after all. Almost everyone was in their late twenties, maybe early thirties, such as Knuckles, protector of the Master Emerald. He couldn`t be part of the event sadly, but his girlfriend Shade was there, ready to bring back souvenirs from the event thanks to a camera. She was running around, catching bits and pieces of speeches to bring back something for her beloved echidna.
Queen Blaze the Cat was there however, along with the hedgehog she married once she reached maturity, Silver. Both wore weighty crowns atop their heads. They were dressed in the most expensive attire they could find in the great wardrobe of their castle on Sol. Silver`s tuxedo looked just perfect on him, just like Blaze`s dress.
Of course, there was Sonic`s number one fan, Amy Rose, who still had a slight crush on him, despite knowing he was married to someone else. She just couldn`t get over him. It was simply impossible. She spent her leisure time taking care of Chao, when she wasn`t working of course.
The less known heroes of this world were slowly showing up as well. Antoine D`Coolette walked in, holding the hand of Bunnie-Rabbot, the half-roboticized rabbit. They couldn`t find yet any way to restore her legs. Due to this, the couple had to adopt a child; their girl wasn`t with them tonight, she stayed at home with a babysitter. Big was there, although he had to find a 4XL tuxedo. The Mobian cats of his height and weigth are extremely rare. The well-known detective agency Chaotix was part of the guests as well. Vector was in a corner of the room, checking an old piano that was still able to make a great symphony. Espio was chatting with people around, something rare from him. As a ninja, silence is his best ally. And Charmy Bee was there as well; the 20yo bee had matured and was much more serious than before, although he still had kept an insatiable hunger, which tonight he stopped by snacking (more like raiding) in the buffet offered to the guests. A very living Nicole was present, her micro-robotic body perfectly mimicking a lynx's. Over fourteen years, she had learned much about emotions and could re-create them with her facial robotic muscles to perfection. No one would ever doubt she was once a small program in a handheld machine. Jet, Wave and Storm were there, more or less; they were outside, doing Extreme Gear stunts.
And those were only the members of the "real gang", i.e. those who are known to have bravely fought for the survival of their planet against deadly opponents. But there was also a great group of characters, who were not known nearly as much as them, but had still left a mark on the world. There was Aero, another Ultimate Lifeform, discovered later, much after Shadow, although this one claimed to be the original, even before the Biolizard. Then, there was Scott McCarthy, a fox who owned a piece of land on which he liked to grow corn. His best friend Warp, a partly roboticized hedgehog, was there with him. The two friends were there to meet Sonic, who they greatly respected.
There was Hood, a bee who had not done much for Mobius; he was coroner in the FLPD, Four-Lakes Police Department. Thanks to his extensive knowing of the biology of nearly every single species there was on Mobius, he was an excellent worker, albeit speaking a bit too fast at times. He was accompanied of Belle, a fox he was with since not even a year. She was a landscape painter and could get quite good revenues for her pictures.
Then, there was Alexis Depardieu Coolette. A knuckleheaded cop who has been though best and worst. He and Shadow had been teamed up a year ago to prevent a dangerous criminal mastermind from spreading terror for a mundane reason (of course, anyone who loves to watch hulo games too much won`t be of the same opinion). After finding out they weren`t so different, they stayed good friends. That same mission was Alexis` first meeting with Sonic, they had to protect him against the same criminal mastermind, who had planned to kidnap him for his status, in some form of coup d`état.
Indeed, Sonic had become King of Robotropolis, and was living a quite happy life with Sally. Many disapproved of this union, many saying Sonic would be better with Amy Rose, and other believing anyone would be better than Princess Sally Acorn… but the facts are there, and no one can change them. Sonic`s greatest adventure, eleven years ago, was also the end of Robotnik and of every single portal leading to and from Moebius, the evil mirror side where anyone nice is evil and vice-versa. Without action anymore, everyone hoped something like Chaos or Mephiles would come back to torment them, at least for a bit of a battle. But strangely, once the Eggman threat was annihilated, such adventures happened only once every few years… often less. Boredom was slowly installing itself within the gang, and they decided to just live normal lives – that explains why Shadow, who just couldn`t stand to work under King Sonic, ended up as a cop. Many of the others went with Sonic to Robotropolis and have been happy to work under him and Queen Sally. Sonic wasn't the kind of guy to grow a huge ego despite his present social rank.
Now, why were they in Four-Lakes, this city that is linked to Station Square by only one highway and has been unknown to them until a year ago? Well, after Alexis and Shadow saved Sonic from the mastermind known as "tattoo killer", he decided to pass by there more often, and maybe learn a bit of French, just in case he has to work with French-speaking people. He could already understand better Antoine`s French words, which sounded so funny to him back then. Actually, King Sonic had to go there to talk affairs with some rich people. Since the trip was a rather long one, he had to stay a few days. That`s why he invited all his staff and the heroes who helped him throughout his hero career to a party.
Sonic was in the ballroom, chatting with some guests, often signing autographs to fans of his awesome back story. He had noticed some fans wanted even more than autographs, like a jewel from his crown, or maybe from his sceptre (he was always with them not to think himself superior, but only for the fun of it), and this was kind of annoying. One of them even asked to rub his quills for luck! He wasn`t a Saint, was he? In any case, he didn't like that kind of behaviour from his fans. It was even worse than how Amy acted around him fourteen years ago! One of them was a billion times worse though. A squirrel girl was following Sonic around, constantly nagging him… at some points, it even looked like flirting. She knew he was married, right? If not, then she was really stupid.
After some time of hearing all her ideas on their "future life together", Sonic got really mad and told her to go to hell (but maybe it was worse than that). The girl ran away crying, and passed through the large crowd to disappear in the staircase leading to the higher floors and the hotel rooms.
Shadow found Alexis through the crowd. The brown-haired coyote saw him arrive as well. Unlike his usual, loud-mouthed behaviour, the coyote had a low face. He spoke in English so Rouge would understand him. The whole discussion was in English.
"Hey, Shadow, how`s it going?" he asked on a sad tone. Rouge immediately felt like something was wrong.
"What`s the problem, hun?" she asked.
"Annie isn`t here with you?" the black and red hedgehog asked before Alexis could answer Rouge`s question.
Alexis sighed. "Very funny Shad. You know that we divorced. It had become bad for me to stay with her."
"If it couldn`t work, it couldn`t work, Alex," Rouge tried to explain. "Maybe she wasn't the One for you. Maybe you felt like she was, but she wasn`t, it`s too bad. You`ll find a woman perfect for you someday, hun. If Shadow could, you can."
Shadow stared at his wife with a nonplused look. "What do you mean by that?" Rouge giggled to this reply.
Alexis sighed again and sipped on his glass of alcohol punch. "Yeah, maybe you`re right… well, there`s at least one good thing with that. I get to see Jennifer once every two weeks…"
Hood walked to them. "Hey Alex!" he said, waving the right hand toward his long-time friend. He turned to the hedgehog and the bat. "Hi, you two!" He was still speaking really fast. He was also speaking in English.
"Hi there," Shadow said. "…what`s your name again?"
"It`s Hood…" Alexis answered. "You know… the coroner, at Four-Lakes…"
"The annoying guy?" Shadow asked.
"Not so annoying," Hood replied. "Anyway, I never thought I`d find my nephew here. I`m surprised!"
Alexis, Shadow and Rouge went wide-eyed. "Who?"
"Charmy Bee! He`s my nephew, guys!" Hood said on a very joyful tone.
"Ah… last time I saw him tonight, he had eaten every triangle-shaped ham sandwich and was stabbing the macaroni salad with a fork," Rouge mentioned.
"How can you be that young bee`s uncle?" Shadow asked. "You`re 32 and he`s already 20… you can`t be his uncle," Shadow theorized.
"Charmy is my oldest brother`s son, and my oldest brother is about ten years older than I am, so… I guess it makes sense now, huh? Anyway, he was happy to see me. And he was happy to meet my girlfriend too."
"Ah yes, that Belle… I heard you two were going along really well."
"Better than you`d think!" Hood said with pride in the tone. "In any case, better than you were doing with Annie…"
"You shouldn`t salt that wound, Hood," Rouge told him. "For what I see, your pal is really down…"
Some microphone taps heard through loudspeakers interrupted their discussion. King Sonic was about to speak to the public. Sonic tapped again, spoke the renowned "one-two, one-two" to make sure the microphone worked well, and began speaking.
"Hi everyone! It`s me, King Sonic from Robotropolis, if one of you hadn`t guessed. Thank me for the party! I had to celebrate my second visit to Four-Lakes! Last time wasn`t as great, I was almost unseen. I really needed to prove I was here!"
He had spoken in broken French, but he was really trying. He was doing his best. Although that wasn`t the worst Alexis had heard (An English-speaking Antoine was lamer than that), the cop could just thank Sonic for trying to learn that language.
"I would like to thank all of you for the hospitality you have showed toward me. I am happy of all this. The inhabitants of Four-Lakes are really great!"
King Sonic continued speaking for one or two minutes, and ended his speech with a special message.
"Starting right now, the ball begins for real. Put on your best dancing shoes, and find a spot on the dance floor before it gets overcrowded. DJ Croc (he pointed to Vector, who had walked to a table with spinning disks) will prepare the salsa and the mambo!"
Sonic left the stage following this. Rouge and Shadow walked to the dance floor – or rather Rouge forcefully pulled him to there as the black and red hero really didn`t want to dance – and Hood also walked there with Belle. His girlfriend was teaching him how to dance salsa. Alexis stayed in a corner, lonelier than ever. During that time, King Sonic left toward his Suite on the first floor. He was tired. However, before climbing the staircase, he grabbed his cell phone, dialled a number, and spoke to someone. Once the discussion was over, he left for his room.
The music was loud and nearly everyone felt like dancing to it. DJ Vector was switching the disks while watching all the couples dancing to an awesome music.
And then a loud scream pierced the place. A girl`s horrific scream.
For those who have problems with chronology…
-Fourteen years ago: The original chronology, the one where all the games happen. The canon storyline…
-Eleven years ago: Eggman`s defeat and the end of all threats. Moebius is blocked and locked, forbidding any Anti from traveling to the positive world. Sonic is 18, guess the rest.
-One year ago: Alexis Depardieu Coolette and Shadow are set together on the same case, in hopes their respective cities and PDs get along better from this partnership. Together, through troubles, action and lots of cursing, they end up stopping the kidnapping of King Sonic, who was targeted by the murderer of many people related to hulo, which is an extremely popular sport. Alexis and Shadow are friends ever since. The whole story is in Mobian Cop Bad Cop, a story written a year ago. Coincidence? Not sure.
That`s it for the backstory behind Mobian Cop Bad Cop 2. More family-friendly than the first, and with a more complicated plot in my opinion. Anyway, tell me in reviews what you think of it.
