Sonic Adventure : Waves of Chaos
by Master hunter
23rd June 1991
That day was the worldwide release of Sonic the Hedgehog, our favourite Blue dude with 'tude. And what better way to celebrate than an adaptation. Though I've already done Sonic Adventure 2 (for his 12th) and Sonic Adventure 0 (Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles, for his 14th), my choices were more limited.
My other option I suppose is a dual game fic called The Sonic Preludes which would cover Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. Maybe throw in a Master of time and Space like sub title. I dunno. Sonic Adventure just seemed easier.
I hope to have this done a chapter every day throughout the 9 days from 17th to the 25th.
So here it is, Sonic Adventure: Waves of Chaos
Character copyright: Everything I am about to write is based on a videogame by SEGA therefore everything belongs to them

Sonic Adventure : Waves of Chaos

Anger
One of our strongest emotions
Despite it leading to a lot of hostility
It is a passionate emotion
Often linked to loss
The loss of one's purpose
The loss of a loved one
The loss of one's control
Anger will always be with us and it will often lead to destruction.
Particularly when it takes a physical form
And one's rage must be released
Chapter 1 - Breaking the Bottle
The bright green glow of the Master Emerald broke through the peaceful star filled sky. It was a beautiful night and the warm comforting light comforted Knuckles as he rested peacefully in front of the giant green Jewel. It wasn't that long ago Knuckles met his first friends, his first rivals, and his first enemy.
The Master Emerald lost its power and only the gathering of the Chaos Emeralds could restore it. However that was easier said than done as he was caught up between an intense rivalry between a highly intelligent if a little crazy scientist, and an energetic yet cool blue Hedgehog.
The prophecy depicted by a stone mural in the hidden depths of Angel Island came true. A Golden Demon fought a Metallic Giant for the Master Emerald. Little did he know that the Demon was attempting to get back the emerald from the metallic thief. And little did he know that there was another prophecy depicted by a stone mural, deep within a hidden temple. A Prophecy that was about to come true.
The cold stone floor beneath him reminded him of his duty. A duty he knew he had to do despite not knowing why. It was a strange feeling constantly haunting him. He knew nothing of his past yet felt he had to guard the emerald, as if it was programmed into his genes.
He knew he was the last of his kind. A race long since extinct, him the sole survivor with a life pre-destined already by some higher power. His extraordinary strength and affinity with the Master Emerald, together with the sign of a guardian across his chest, all pointed to his duty as the Master Emerald Guardian.
Last time it was in danger it led to the destruction of the Sacred Sky Sanctuary ruins. Knuckles was left to face off against the Doctors sinister leftovers and against the power of the Master Emerald directly. The aftershock of the right left a scar on the island and the Sacred Ruins fell into the Ocean. If it wasn't for his new friend, Knuckles would be down there with them.
He used to leave the Emerald to go explore the Island but now he never leaves its side. He doesn't want anything more to happen to the sacred isle, the home of the Sacred and Powerful Chaos Emeralds. Mysterious Gems that are said to hold the power of gods. If placed in the right hands it could lead to the world becoming a paradise. In the wrong hands however….
Knuckles didn't want to think about that. He protected them for that reason and would never abandon his duty. The Silence was then broken by the sound of Jet Engines, followed by something electrical, or some form of energy, powering up. Knuckles opened his eyes and saw nothing.
CRASH!
The floor shook beneath him as Knuckles fell onto his face. He turned around to see a strange figure in front of him. Not much taller than Knuckles it was unlike anything he had seen before. The figure was human shaped but seemed to be made of water. Its body was semi-transparent and yet no bones or structure could be seen. Somehow the liquid body was being supported but beneath two green orbs the only things besides water in the beast was a small brain like object.
Knuckles sprang to his feet and suddenly noticed his precious Master Emerald had been shattered into pieces.
"What the? Oh no! Did you do this? Why? Answer me beast before I start throwing punches", said Knuckles as hot headed as ever.
Knuckles dashed towards the water beast preparing a powerful punch. However as he was just about to strike the watery figure melted into a puddle. Knuckles froze confused and with his guard down Chaos struck smashing Knuckles a good distance from the shrine.
Knuckles raced back up to the shattered remains of the Master Emerald. No much remained, just the base. The watery figure had completed disappeared without saying a thing. Knuckles remained as confused as ever, and as he took a moment to think about what has just happened, the main thing he was supposed to prevent happened.
"Oh no! Without the Master Emerald the Island will sink into the Ocean again", said Knuckles.
Sure enough the Island began to shake as if hit by a massive earthquake. Knuckles jumped into the air and used his glide technique to reach the end of the Floating Island without being affected by the shaking. Angel Island used the power of the Master Emerald to remain in the sky, thus hiding the most powerful of the Emeralds away from the general public.
Knuckles never questioned this, assuming it was to protect it from those who'd wish to use its power for evil. Angel Island was also his home and a sacred island to his race. He wished to preserve it best he could.
Knuckles reached the end of Angel Island and looked down towards the Ocean underneath him. To his horror he didn't realise Angel Island moves around the Earth and as such this time the Island wasn't going to crash into the Ocean. This time it crashed beside a huge Jungle, Just missing land and lying in the bay beside the mountains surrounding the Jungle.
Knuckles had never left the Island before and only the sight of a building with two giant tails settled his nerves. Could that be where Tails lived? Regardless he soon found his next objective as he saw a moving puddle move down the nearby railway line. Train shuttles seemed to constantly transport people from this area to what looked like a giant city.
Knuckles jumped off the island and followed the puddle down the railway line. Knuckles just about caught up with it until he heard the sound of a train coming. Knuckles immediately found the tunnel wall and started smashing it with his fists. The sound of the train got louder and louder, he had to get out of there. What good is a guardian if he's dead?
Knuckles managed to dig enough of the wall out to take cover in. The Train just narrowly missed him and Knuckles let out a sigh of relief, before letting out a sigh of despair. That puddle was gone now, being so small and all. There was only one thing he could do now. Follow the tunnel to its end and for the first time, enter a human city.

Buzz…..Beep
The glass of the tube disappeared and the first thing he saw was the face of his master. E-102 Gamma stepped out of the tube he had been charging in. The man in front of him gave him life and so appropriately asked for his eternal loyalty.
"Arise E-102, you are finished", said the man.
"Scanning video input. File found. Subject Dr Ivo Robotnik", said Gamma, "Master, what can I do for you?"
"Perfect, another fine addition to my E-series. You have already identified me now identify yourself", said Dr Robotnik.
"Scanning system….I am E-102 Gamma. 3rd in the E-series", said Gamma
"And how are your systems? I can see your processor and database are fine. How about your cannon?" asked Dr Robotnik
"All systems working at 100 master", said Gamma.
Gamma examined the Room he was in. He found the file he needed to identify the local area. He was in the entrance room to the Final Egg base, deep within the Mystic Ruins. To his right were two more tubes. One held an unconscious Metal Sonic, probably still repairing itself after the intense race he had on Little Planet. The other held a new Robotic Sonic Prototype, equipped with machine gun hands.
"Come Gamma, it's time for you first test. Beyond this door is a little shooting gallery I've made. Try and hit all the targets", said Dr. Robotnik.
"Mission Accepted. Objective Destroy all targets", said Gamma before entering the arena.
ACTION STAGE: FINAL EGG (GAMMA)
Gamma ventured through the corridors of the shooting gallery section of final Egg. Lots of Dolls of the three primary targets appeared, mainly of the Fox and the Echidna. At the end though the Hedgehog appeared, tougher than the others. The Doll moved along a rail and took three shots to break.
Gamma felt a strange sensation. Almost a feeling though that would've been impossible. He was just a robot but he felt his cannon was only adequate to do the task not the awesome powerful attack he felt it should be. He still blasted into the air shouting, "Mission Complete", however and he felt a little bit of happiness too.
He was a Robot, how could he feel these things?
Gamma decided not to dwell on it and returned to the entrance lobby. There waiting for him was Dr. Robotnik clapping his performance.
"Bravo Gamma. I think you're ready for your first real challenge already. Down there is your bigger brother E-101. Why don't you go say hello", said Dr. Robotnik.
Gamma moved down to the lower area of the lobby where a black robot was waiting for him. It was like Gamma in every way except that instead of a hand and one laser blaster, E-101 Beta had dual missile launchers.
"Now I have a proposition for you two. I want to know who the strongest is so I'm pitting you against each other. The winner will be granted permission to join the Egg Carrier Crew as my elite task force. Personally my money is on Beta though Gamma has earned the right to at least challenge Beta", said Dr. Robotnik.
"Affirmative", said both Robots at the same time.
BOSS: E-101 Beta (GAMMA)
Beta fired a barrage of missiles at Gamma though Gamma had already analysed Beta's weakness. The missiles weren't all that fast, even if they did home into Beta's opponents they could be outrun with some speed. Gamma used that to his advantage and locked on to Beta with his laser. He then circled around Beta firing his laser and weakened Beta to his knees.
Beta fell to the ground sparking a little. Gamma fired into the air shouting "Mission Complete" again. Gamma was extremely happy with an intensity that confused him even further. Gamma decided to keep this a secret and discover the truth in how own time. Perhaps the Doctor gave him some sort of intense artificial personality that he was unaware of.
The Doctor proceeded down to the arena with a big grin on his face. Gamma didn't have the strength of Beta but he managed to defeat him using Skill and tactics. Dr. Robotnik was impressed.
"Excellent Gamma. I hereby give you permission to serve aboard the Egg Carrier", said Dr. Robotnik.
Beta then pushed in front of Dr. Robotnik and made some beeping noises.
"Get away loser. You were beaten fair and square by Gamma", said Dr Robotnik.
Beta kept pushing in front of Dr. Robotnik. Annoyed the Doctor took a moment to think and then smiled.
"So you really want to come along to huh? Well Ok. I hereby grant you Special Permission to come aboard the Egg Carrier", said the Doctor, "Now, it's time for the Egg Carrier to take its place commanding the skies. Prepare the Egg Carrier for take off"
"Affirmative" said the two robots before disappearing into the depths on the Final Egg.

Meanwhile deep within the Mystic Ruins Jungle, Big the Cat lay on his bed asleep. Resting on top of his head was hid best friend. A Frog named Froggy. The peaceful night was interrupted by a loud explosion and an event was about to happen that would involve this normally neutral cat, into a fight he would normally stay out of.
