Chapter 1: Sonic's Choice
Sonic stared in disbelief as Eggman and his robots plummeted towards the lava. He gasped, and then stood up, glaring at the three of the Deadly Six members on the other side of the collapsed bridge. This was their entire fault; they had used Eggman's invention to suck all the energy from the planet Earth, and now it seemed like everyone he knew was dead. But he still didn't know what happened to Tails. No matter. He was still going to try and stop them. It was what he did. He didn't want his planet to die, because he; Sonic the Hedgehog, was too slow for once. He heard a noise and turned to see Zazz, Master Zik, and Zomom.
Zazz cackled, crazily and jumped onto the platform Sonic was on along with the other two. "We're going to destroy you! You won't see the light of day again!" Zazz began cackling again and Sonic lowered his eyelids.
"I'm getting tired of you guys," he said.
Zazz turned to Master Zik, his long tongue lolling about the side of his mouth. "Do we destroy him now, Master?"
Master Zik nodded. "Correct; revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Now you've made me hungry," Zomom said as he rubbed his large belly. "Let's hurry up and destroy him!"
Sonic folded his arms and sighed. This was gonna be a long fight.
Zazz began laughing again. "Oh! This will be enjoyable!"
The three Zeti lunged towards Sonic, who was taken off-guard. Sonic jumped back away from the lunge, trying his best to get away from their attacks, but it was hard having three Zeti attacking him at once.
Zazz ran up to Sonic and tried to slash at him with his claws. "Come on! Is that all you got? I'll destroy you!"
The hedgehog smirked and did a homing attack to hurt them. Minutes passed until the battle was over, and Zazz, Zik and Zomom stood defeated. Sonic smirked.
"That's three down, three to go," he said, and ran off to find the other Zeti. Sonic ran across a bridge and jumped over some rocks before landing on a rocky surface and coming face to face with Zeena, Zor and Zavok. Sonic clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but tried to keep his cool. "I've been looking for you," he said.
Zavok smirked. "Your fate is to be destroyed! Why don't you accept that? Lie down and DIE!"
Sonic glared at them. He wanted to know where Tails was and what they had done to him.
Zeena looked at her nail polished claws and chuckled. "Or better yet...why doesn't your friend...come out here instead?"
Zavok grinned and chuckled, which turned into a maniacal laugh. "What an excellent idea! Yes, let him see what Tails has become."
Sonic was confused, but then heard something and saw Tails fly down across from him. He gasped in shock at what he saw. Tails had become a robot!
"Tails..." he gasped.
Tails' ears were made of grey metal and one covered over his right eye. It was still blue, but his other eye was a very dull blue almost a blue grey. There was a metal cannon on his left arm and the right side of his body was partially covered in metal. The last thing that was made of metal was his left foot that resembled the foot of a Zeti. Sonic stared at Tails in shock and horror. He couldn't believe that this was his little buddy. He looked up at the three Zeti in anger.
"Oh man...when I get my hands on you guys..."
"You'll do what? I don't think there is anything you can do right now," Zeena laughed, still looking at her nails.
Zor looked at his blue rose with sad eyes. "Sigh. This is devastating. He hasn't even attacked yet."
Zavok smirked. "Mecha Tails...destroy Sonic." The leader Zeti pointed at the blue hedgehog, who froze in his place.
The robot nodded and aimed his laser cannon at him. "Yes, Master," Mecha Tails said and Sonic's eyes widened. Tails couldn't do this! Not to him, anyway. There had to be a way to stop this from happening and save the planet.
"Wait!" He said. "I can't have Tails do this!"
Zavok smirked. "It's too later, Sonic. As we speak, Earth is being destroyed and in a few minutes your home planet will be gone."
Sonic widened his eyes at this and then looked back at Tails.
"You won't be seeing anymore of your other friends again. They'll be dead. Shame," Zor said with no emotion, still holding his rose.
Tails kept the laser cannon aimed at Sonic. Suddenly, the sky lit up in a flash of green and Sonic knew that they had drained the energy of Earth entirely. He brought out his communicator to see Knuckles and Amy but all he could see was static. He pressed the button, hoping it would work. Static once again. Sonic continually pressed the button on the side of the screen, panic rising in him. Were they really dead? He didn't know. He surely hoped not.
Zavok laughed. "How does it feel to know everyone you've known has been killed? Give up now...and join your friend."
Sonic glared at him. "I'll never serve you!"
Zeena chuckled. "Really now? You have nowhere else to go. No home, no friends, you might as well serve us or die. Your choice."
"We will give you a choice, Sonic," Zavok said. "You can die...or you can join us. We shall transform you into a Zeti and The Lost Hex shall become your new home."
Sonic looked at the three Zeti in anger for what they did to Tails, Earth, and his friends. They deserved a good down right beating, but at the same time he felt like…why should he? Tails was a robot now. His home planet was gone and so were his friends. There was nothing else to fight for. He guessed there was one thing he had to do. He swallowed his anger and closed his eyes and growled, knowing this was his last chance at survival or...ever staying alive.
"Very well," he said. "Transform me into a Zeti."
Zavok grinned triumphantly and a beam of light shot out of his hand, hitting Sonic. The hedgehog screamed in pain, fell to the ground and felt his body beginning to change. Sonic roared in pain as he felt his body grow bigger. Sonic's shoes burst apart as his feet changed, his five toes going into his feet and two large claws came out. Another claw poked out of the back of his foot, from his heels. His hands tore through his gloves, but his glove cuffs stayed on his wrists and morphed with him. His cuffs changed to black with grey spikes forming around them. His hands had grown large and on the ends of his fingers were long sharp claws. Then he felt all his muscles expand and grow. His chest pushed out and his arms thickened with muscle. Sonic's legs turned black as his tail lengthened into a serpentine one. The spikes turned black and shifted to his shoulders. Sonic's lower jaw pushed out showing a row of long fangs. The upper head turned black expect for a blue ring around each eye. His eyes turned from white and green to yellow and purple respectively. His head spikes merged and shifted to the top of his head where they reformed into long thick viscous curved gray horns. A cyan unibrow in a v shape appeared on his head. Finally gray bracelets with black spikes appeared on his wrists.
Soon, kneeling in Sonic's place was a Zeti with dark blue skin, light blue hair, red claws with red and black horns, emerald green pupils and yellow eyes.
