Hello ladies and gents! It's OGGuy21 here, and I am redoing (hopefully the last time!) this entire series! I know I did this previously and it's getting repetitive but hear me out. As I kept reading the three books I noticed some things that I can't ignore, I REALLY tried to ignore the desire to start over but I couldn't. First thing, their combatic style. In the first two books, their techniques; no consistency! But this time, as I redo the three books, their techniques will remain the same. Second, I was WAY too close to the story where the focus is not on Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails but I didn't want to be TOO focused on them and forgetting the rest of the cast of RWBY. So, I am going to try to do better on this. And lastly third, of course Pyrrha and Penny will survive book 3! And with that out of the way, let's begin! Hope you all enjoy!

Welcome to the Archieverse. A universe where the series featured a mixture of characters, settings and storylines from the Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM cartoon show, the Sonic the Hedgehog video games by SEGA, and various other incarnations of Sonic. And, our story begins on a planet called Mobius , home to our favorite blue hero, Sonic the Hedgehog! Currently, Sonic and the ragtag team of his childhood friends and other allies they gathered known as the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix are preparing themselves for their final bout against the Overlander whose evil incantations had caused 15 years of terror. Dr. Ivo Robotnik or known as "Dr. Eggman"! The mad scientist had desired to conquer Mobius for his empire but all his attempts have been thwarted by Sonic and his friends, and for the Blue Blur, he has noticed that his foe is on his last legs and his sanity rapidly declining. As the morning sun rose at the outside of Eggman's base which is the former city that housed the Kingdom of Acorn , as the final battle approaches, the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix are doing the final preparations for their raid against Dr. Eggman…
A sound of a yawn filled the morning air as a blue hedgehog with his muzzle, arms & torso are peach colored, his eyes are emerald green. He has 6 head quills dropping back from the back of his head, 2 quills protruding from his back drooping downward and a short tail that points up. He wears white gloves but his most distinguishing trademark features are his full red, single white striped, gold buckled friction-proof sneakers. He is "Sonic the Hedgehog"!
(-Music: Sand Ocean [ Sonic Adventure 2 ]-)
"Morning Rotor! Slept well?" Sonic inquired while stretching his legs.
"Couldn't sleep, so I set up the link to New Mobotroplis instead…" Said a jaded walrus with violet-colored skin with darker toes and fingers; he wore glasses, a brown bomber jacket and a slight tuft of hair teal bandoleer-like tool belt and a backwards yellow cap. He is "Rotor the Walrus" aka "Boomer".
The Azure Hedgehog arched a brow in confusion at the walrus' explanation. "I think one of us needs more sleep, because that MADE no sense to me."
"We're setting up a live data stream back to the city." Said a female chipmunk with brown fur with light brown on the face and torso as well as short, auburn hair, blue eyes, a short tail, and a short, open, light-blue vest and tall, matching blue boots. She is the daughter of the current monarchs of the Kingdom of Acorn , "Sally Acorn". And holding her portable computer tapping a few buttons as she looks at Sonic.
"Oh cool, why?"
"To keep everyone back home informed. One way or the other, our fight with Dr. Robotnik ends today."
"We…" Sonic begun before having an expression of skepticism. "...the whole thing will be monitored? This isn't one of Hamlin's ideas, is it…?"
Sally shook her head denying his response. "I proposed the notion. The people have the right to know."
"The monitors are online here and I've synced with Rotor. Can I get a level check please?" Said a computerized voice from Sally's handheld.
We turn our focus to a domed kingdom which is New Mobotroplis where the citizens everywhere were huddled in different areas with the hover screens showing Sonic's face and waving as he said "Hi Mom!" And back to the group.
"Okay- last checks Sue?" The Princess inquired to a pink echidna with violet eyes and purple-tipped bangs with her left foremost dreadlock is fully robotic, and the others sport various metallic plates, rings and wires. Her gloves are mitt-like with the first finger on each separated. She wears a black tank top with teal padding on the left side, a yellow-orange belt and large, mechanical-looking teal boots. She is "Julie-Su the Echidna".
"I'm synced with Nicole and will be in contact for our team," Julie-Su replied with a grin on her face as she readied her double-barrel, multi-purpose laser rifle. "The Chaotix are ready Sally!"
"This is it…" Sonic thought, mentally psyching himself up for the moments away of ending the war that haunted their childhoods. "You're going down Doctor E!"
"Let's do it to it Sal!" He said a big grin on his face as his friends stood alongside him.
"I'll keep things under control here." Rotor said with his arms crossed with smile on his face.
Sally nods with a determined look on her face as she points forward. "Freedom Fighters! Chaotix! Let's take down the Eggman Empire!"

(-Music: Iron Gate [ Sonic Adventure 2 ]-)
Inside the Eggdome where booming and deafening sounds of their enemy banging at the outside trying to get in. A red female echidna with red hair and blue eyes. She wears a full black bodysuit with a belt and heavy black boots. While usually the same red of her body, her hair is pink. Her dreadlocks are waist-length, though more recently they're considerably shorter. Like Julie-Su, she features a fully cybernetic dreadlock on her left; the others are usually adorned with crisscrossing white stripes. She is the Kommissar of the Dark Legion , "Lien-Da the Echidna". Many hooded figures were running back and forth carrying metallic beams and other junk with haste.
"The enemy has begun their assault! Step it up everyone!" She barked as she hastily placed the blaster in one of the hooded figures' hands. "Team "Fire" to entry point Alpha! Team "Ice" to entry point Beta! You're the frontlines! Every piece of material goes to the barricade outside the of the code chamber. Follow Dr. Eggman's blueprints exactly! Follow the plan everyone, it makes no blasted sense but it's all we got."
"The plan does make sense, Lien-Da." Said a cyberized voice as Lien-Da turns to face a cybernetic echidna head in glass orb with dreadlocks-like tentacles ending in small clamps as he moves using them. He's the oldest Mobian that ever lived, "Dimitri".
"A barricade with a hole just big enough for Sonic to get through makes sense?" She inquired before exhaling in exasperation of Dr, Eggman's plan.
"No, not the Doctor's plan. That's madness. I mean the real plan." He reiterated.
Lien-Da's blue eyes focuses on the floor. "Ah still, that's a risky gambit… can we really trust Snively? We know nothing about her except what he's told us."
"As the saying goes granddaughter: "Any port in a storm"." Dimitri smirked as he proceeds leaving the room, leaving his great-great granddaughter puzzled. "Until then, follow the Doctor's orders. Our people should largely emerged unscathed and then the "heroes" will be HIS problem."

(-Music: Eggmanland - Day [ Sonic Unleashed ]-)
"Almost through!" Said a female bunny with a Southern accent that has yellow fur and shoulder length hair, wearing a pink sleeveless shirt, a brown jacket, pistol belt with twin revolvers, and fingerless gloves. She is "Bunnie D'Coolette Rabbot", the wife of "Antoine D'Coolette".
"Just a couple of more hits!" Said a male black-and-yellow armadillo with a red shell and blue eyes. He wears simple white gloves and red and white shoes similar to those worn by Sonic; however, the white stripe doesn't cross the entire shoe and they lack the gold buckles. His black nose is somewhat longer and more pointed than those of Sonic. He's the muscle of the Chaotix, "Mighty the Armadillo".
Sonic got into a runner position with a grin. "Man-o-man! I feel bad for anyone waiting for us on the other side."
A pink female hedgehog with green eyes, her spines were curved and stylized, somewhat resembling a bob cut, wearing a short red dress with white trim, tall red boots with a white cuff and stripe, a red headband and gloves with gold cuffs. She held a metallic yellow and red hammer ready to swing. She is "Amy Rose". She smiled. "Ready for launch Sonic?"
"One speed-dash special on my mark…"
"We're in/Go Sugah-Hog!" Bunnie and Mighty said in unison as they tore a large hole revealing the inside of the base.
Amy swung her hammer sending Sonic who is in his ball form inside the base to find it empty thus making him gain a disappointed look.
"Aw… I guess they're lying in wait." Sonic said turning around and approaching the hole. "Coast is clear guys!"
"Freedom Fighters! Take the West Hall! Sonic, you're on point!" Sally commanded.
"Sweet!"
"Chaotix! You have the East Hall! Julie-Su, keep me posted!"
The chaos has ensued as the Freedom Fighters encountered some of the Dark Legion knocking them down relatively easy. It was no different, on the Chaotix's side, a male red echidna purple with eyes. He bears a white crescent mark on his chest. He wears white gloves similar to boxing gloves and has two spiked knuckle-claws on each hand. He wears green, yellow and red footwear with a metal "Lego" plate atop each shoe. He is "Knuckles the Echidna". He and Julie-Su were chasing the Dark Legion soldiers down to a circular door.
"We've got them on the run Knux!" Julie-Su said shooting from her proton gun. Then she grabbed Knuckles' arm which got his attention. "Hey, are you okay? Can you go through this?"
Knuckles looks down in silence pondering on what he should say. He smiled as he placed his hand on her cheek lovingly. "They may be the last of our kind, but they're still working for Eggman. We have to stop them for their own good. You with me?"
She smiled nodding. "Always."
"That's far enough children." Dimitri says getting glares from the two Echidnas.

(-Music: Eg Control Room [ Shadow The Hedgehog ]-)
In Snively's living quarters where the man himself was in the shower preparing himself, preparing for what? Let's find out.
"What's the latest report Kommissar?" Inquired Snively Robotnik aka "Colin Kintobor Jr.", Eggman's nephew.
"Teams "Fire" and "Ice" reported losing on schedule. Points Alpha and Beta have nearly fallen and…" She halted after smelling the air which made her scrunched her nose at the odor. "Ugh… are you wearing cologne?!"
There stood Snively with his long beak-like nose, bald with only 5 hairs on top of his head, light blue eyes, he wore an outfit that greatly resembles Dr. Eggman's - minus the buttons. The color is different as well - being green instead of red. He grew a smirk. "It was a gift from her region of the world. Quite the scent, isn't it?"
The Grandmaster pinched her nose. "You could say that. Your nose is bigger than mine. How could you stand that?"
"Hmph!" The short man hmph'ed as he turned his back and walked towards the door. "Yet one more thing you animals will never understand about my kind… nevermind. You may direct the Legion to move on to phase two and prep the emeralds."
Lien-Da coughed trying to clear her lungs from Snively's cologne. "Yes sir."
(-Music Ends-)
Back with the Freedom Fighters, we see Sonic leaning against the wall and Sally looking the glow of the lasers that were being fired from the Dark Legion hit the corner. She hoped that she can keep on going through to meet with the Chaotix but their momentum has been lost since the Dark Legion got their offense on point.
"Thorough bunch of cronies aren't they?" Sonic inquired with his eyes closed.
"Unfortunately, they've broken our momentum." Sally said with her hands on her hips. Then she turns to her friends, Amy, Bunnie, a brown-furred male coyote with tan facial fur and blond hair, his eyes usually colored blue. Wearing Armand's old Royal Army uniform, a blue jacket with red trim, gold pads on the shoulder, and red boots. He's "Antoine D'Coolette", the husband of Bunnie. And a male two-tailed fox with orange fur with a white muzzle and chest fur, sapphire eyes, and white gloves and red shoes with white toes. His name is Miles Prower but known as "Tails". "Okay, I don't want to use our trump card so soon, but I'll need a shield from Bunnie. Sonic will go in low, Tails on high. Amy and Antoine will come in next and cover them, disarming them where they can. Then Bunnie and I will…"
"Yo Sal!" The Blue Blur called her with surprised look. "You can ditch the plan."
The Princess turns to him. "What, Sonic?"
"The Legion just retreated!"
Her eyes widened in shock seeing the hallway empty, void of their enemies in sight. "What?! They had us pinned!"
Back with the Chaotix, specifically to Knuckles and Julie-Su glaring at Dimitri, then a large, green-skinned crocodile, with light green eyes and arms, as well as the scales down his back, are now red-orange. The large, round shoulders are much smaller and black in color. He wears white gloves with black-and-white cuffs and shoes embellished with gold buckles and a large gold chain around his neck. His now-wireless headphones became black and somewhat chunkier in design. He is "Vector the Crocodile". He was running towards the two echidnas and then skids to a stop seeing Dimitri.
"Hold on Vec. Move Dimitri." Knuckles said with narrowed eyes.
"Is that your command Guardian?" Dimitri asked with a derision smile which irked the red Echidna. "I am over 600 years, I am a well of information. I am one of the remaining Echidnas alive. I am almost all that is left of your family. You gave your life to save me once… if I refuse, will you make me move?"
"Yes." Knuckles answered in a serious tone.
The two stared each other down for a few moments before Dimitri makes his way into a hole in the ceiling.
"Edmund's convictions live on in you. Good luck nephew." Dimitri grins as he goes into the darkness.
"Uhh… Knux?" Vector spoke trying to figure out what just happened.
"I don't know Vec… I just don't know." Knuckles muttered walking back.
Both the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix meet in the same hallway facing a tall wall composed of junk. So they took this as an opportunity to plan their next move and figuring out how to get through this wall.
(-Music: The Base [ Sonic Adventure 2 ]-)
"Ditto. I know we've kicked their butts a lot recently, but it's like they're not even putting up a fight." Sonic said thinking about this.
"Dun sound so disappointed. Ah think we're owned an easy win." Bunnie stated feeling pretty confident about this development.
"Maybe because they prepared for the siege? This barricade maybe made out of junk but it's solidly built." The Fox Boy said analyzing the wall while airborne.
A yellow-furred Flying Squirrel with a tan muzzle and circular patch on his chest, similar to Sonic. He has a bushy yellow tail and patagium, or flight flaps, that he can extend from his chest to his arms. He wears a blue jacket and shoes with a white stripe going down. He is "Ray the Flying Squirrel". He squats noticing a hole. "All except for this hole. I wonder what it's for?"
"It's a bottleneck and an invitation." Said a deep and raspy voice coming from the hole startling Ray to reveal a purple chameleon that has yellow eyes, wears dark purple and black shoes with more elaborate cuffs and studded bands around the wrists and ankles. The scales on his back were reduced to three and are now black in color. He is the ninja of the Chaotix, he is "Espio the Chameleon". "Sorry Ray."
Sally opened her handheld before gazing at him. "Explain."
"Most of the could squeeze through just as they did but we would be easy to single out and divide, hence the bottleneck…" Espio explained. "Given the chatter I heard about Eggman, I also believe the hole was meant for Sonic to spin dash through quickly and deliver to him to the Doctor. Hence the invitation."
Sonic grinned rubbing his gloved hands together. "He sure knows how to make a guy feel welcome. Well, time to take care of business." He proceeds walking to the hole.
The Princess ran in front of him to stop him from going any further. "Sonic! No! You can't go in there alone!"
"If you think you'll be the only one fighting the Doctor, then you're sorely mistaken." Said a voice getting everyone to turn around to see a black and red male hedgehog with red stripes on his quills, around the edges of his eyes and on his arms and legs. He has red eyes, a patch of white fur on his chest, and his muzzle is tan. He has six quills on his head, four of which curve upwards, and two that curve downwards, has two spines on his back and a small tail. For attire, he wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Rocket-skates which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. On each of his wrists and ankles he wears a single Inhibitor Ring. He is the Ultimate Life Form "Shadow the Hedgehog". "I'm coming with you. I suggest you bring two people with you Faker."
"Mah stars! Shadow, when did you get here?" Bunnie inquired being surprised of his arrival looking at him as he walks by her.
"Don't matter when I am here." He answered before facing Sonic. "Make your two selections, you have five minutes."
The Blue Blur sighs of his plans were ruined to combat Dr. Eggman by his lonesome, he knows that Shadow won't let him move forward unless he selects two people and he has little time to choose. "Hey Knux, you in?"
Knuckles' eyes widen in surprise when Sonic chose him to be one of the four to take on the mad scientist. Then he smirked as he fist-bumped Sonic. "I'm in. Vector, you're in charge."
"Knuckles! Are you sure about this?" Julie-Su asked being concerned as she glances at Sonic. "Sonic! Why don't you pick-"
"Su." He said her name calmly. "It's okay, besides, I'll make sure Eggman will pay a thousand fold for turning our kind against us, this is my opportunity." He gave her a kiss on the lips and walked next to him.
"Pick your last choice, 2 minutes." The Ultimate Life Form said getting a look from Sonic.
"Hey T2, how's your nanotech doing?"
Tails bore a shocked look. "Huh?!"
"Sonic, are you sure about thiz?" Antoine inquired questioning his choice. "No offenze but he'z not combat-ready."
"Good, you three better not get in my way." Shadow said before Sally walked in front of him with a frown on her face. "Princess, move out of way."
"I won't allow this. I won't let Tails go with you three unless you make another choice." She said firmly not flinching by his menacing glance.
"Let him decide."
"I… I…" Tails began but he looks down but he balled his fist as he took a step forward. "I'm g-going!"
"Are you sure about this Tails?" Mighty inquired placing a hand on his shoulder. "You're not being forced to go with them."
The Kitsune narrowed his eyes as he had a determined look. "Well… I am going to do this. I wanna prove that I can be useful. Besides, whatever technological terror that Eggman has in store for us beyond this wall, my knowledge may prove useful. I want to do this."
"That's the spirit Tails." Knuckles says being proud of his response.
"Times up. Let's move." Shadow revs into a spin dash and zooms through the hole.
"We're off. Wish us luck." Knuckles zooms into the hole after Shadow.
Amy gave a kiss on Sonic's cheek. "Oh my brave Sonic! Good luck! I love you!"
Sonic chuckles as his emerald eyes looked the other way. "Amy! ...thanks."
After the good-byes, good lucks, and farewells were exchanged, Sonic and Tails spin dashed into the hole catching up to Knuckles and Shadow who knocked out the ten Dark Legion soldiers and kept going doing the corridor to confront Dr. Eggman for the final time. But something was bugging the speedy blue hedgehog about this entire ordeal.
"I can see the Doc wanting a showdown but this feels off… something's up." He thought.

(-Music: Egg Carrier - A Song That Keeps Us On The Move [ Sonic Adventure ]-)
In the communication center, Snively, Lien-Da, and Dimitri are watching this but they didn't expect the addition of Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails which bore concerned looks from Lien-Da and Dimitri, and for Snively, his reaction was like he struck gold.
"You're taking this well sir." Dimitri states noticing the short Overlander's wicked smile.
"Of course. Looks like we can get rid of four pests instead of one. Those inane Freedom Fighters threw out their heavy hitters, this takeover will be more simpler now without those three in the way. Kommissar! Make sure the Dark Legion holds Sonic's friends at bay till the four are sealed in with my uncle!" Snively commanded and he shifts his focus to Dimitri. "Grandmaster, you may wait for me at the landing bay on top of the Eggdome."
"Yes sir./Very good sir." The two Echidnas complied in unison.
"I'll join you shortly. I need to oversee the last moments of the Eggman Empire." Snively walks down the hall.
(-Music Ends-)
The four Mobians made their way to a small chamber with a round center. The atmosphere was intense which made Shadow, Knuckles, and Tails kept their guards up but Sonic walked with a jeering smirk.
"Massive armored doors. Little, enclosed space. Nowhere to go but "in", and nowhere to go but "back"." The Blue Blur said in a teasing tone was he walked in not noticing the intense atmosphere. "Why didn't he put a big, lit sign saying: "This way to the trap"! So much for the presentation. Ready to party Eggman?"
"Stop messing around!" The Ultimate Life Form barked at his rival, not enjoying the idea of his rival taking this as a joke. "At least look prepared to fight."
(-Music: The Egg Dragoon [ Sonic Unleashed ]-)
Then the massive doors slammed shut behind them making Tails jump in fright and then Knuckles ran to the door trying to pry them open to no avail. Then the four look up to see a huge red, grey and yellow robotic tarantula coming towards them.
"Aw! No repeat of your armor from last time?" Sonic inquired leaning on the railing gazing at the robot spider.
"Eh?! Shadow?! Knuckles?! And that peepsqueak fox?!" The voice of Dr. Eggman cried in surprise seeing them. He growls. "I told Lien-Da to allow only Sonic! No one else!"
"You need better guards Eggman!" Shadow said getting ready for battle. "No more talk! This is it! Your reign ends NOW!"
"No matter! This is the end for you rodents! The four of you won't leave this room alive!" Dr. Eggman declared.
"Big talk big man, let's dance!" Sonic said getting into his battle stance.
(-Music Ends-)
(-Music: Dr. Eggman Showdown [ Sonic Lost World ]-)
"Fifteen years, Sonic! Fifteen and more! You and your irksome friends have been a thorn by my side! NO MORE!" The Mad Scientist bellowed in fury. He was seeing red at this point.
"Uh huh…" The Blue Blur said not even caring as he looked his hand.
"Don't sass me you intolerable brat! I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik! The most brilliant mind in the history of the world!" Dr. Eggman barked at him.
Sonic snorts. "If you say so."
"I do! And what I say is LAW! You know why? BECAUSE I CONQUERED THE BLASTED PLANET, THAT'S WHY!" The desperate mad man roared. "Remember the old Mobotroplis? Veritable capital of the world? It fell to me in a matter of minutes!"
""The coup." I remember. I was like, five."
"And do you remember my ultimate victory? When I ground you into the ashes of Knothole! I've beaten you before rodent! I CAN DO IT AGAIN!" Dr. Eggman glowered as he made the frontal appendage of his creation come at Sonic.
Sonic of course, easily evaded the strike with cocky smirk on his face. "Impressive resume Doc. But you've failed to notice about our numbers and you missed a couple of points. Hey guys! Want to remind Egghead of the missing points?"
"Gladly!" Tails says as he balled his hand into a fist a red cannon formed around his hand as the yellow barrel formed. "Like how a group of kids who have little to no military training took back that city! You underestimated us!"
The Fox Boy fired an energy ball that hits the cockpit knocking the Egg Tarantula to the wall. He barely dodged the incoming appendage that was aiming at his head. So Tails went airborne to evade more strikes. The Egg Tarantula shot a laser beam which almost got the flying fox.
"I came back! I took the city back!" Dr. Eggman retorted.
"How long did that last? Months tops? And then you slipped letting the place get nuked by missiles!" Knuckles added insult to injury by coming down from above to give a lower cut on the cockpit making the Egg Tarantula slam to the floor. "And as a plus, the slag powers New Mobotroplis! So, the inhabitants of New Mobotroplis thanks you!"
"SHUT UP!" The Mad Scientist bellowed using two appendages to try to knock the red echidna off but he jumped off of the wall.
"And your so called empire. Are you aware of the regions that you don't control right?" Shadow inquired as held an red spear made of energy. "Chaos Spear!"
"Trifles! Specks on the windshield!" Dr. Eggman growled pressing a blue button.
A shield appeared in front of the robotic spider saving it from destruction but then a blue blur zoomed by as a pink laser blast almost hit him making him laugh.
"In denial much Doc? The United Federation alone has at least a half-dozen city states in it!" The Speedy Hedgehog states dodging more attacks. "And then there's all of the Freedom Fighter groups fighting you all over the world every day. And you aren't too popular you do out-right control. You can't really claim to "control" the planet when you're fighting for it your every waking hour! Sure, you beat me fair and square not long ago. I'll give you props for that."
The speed demon was airborne after evading a slash attack, Sonic revs into a spin dash as he began descending like a meteor knocking the Egg Tarantula around.
"Argh!"
"How many badniks I have stomped? How many times that I have sent you packing?"
"Stop it!"
"I've beaten you before, Eggman. A LOT. And I'll do it again." He smirked at an seething Dr. Eggman.
"Hey Sonic! Look out!" Tails cried pointing at the abdomen.
He is right; the abdomen near the end shot a grappling hook into the dark ceiling bring him up into the air making Sonic jump off with Dr. Eggman grumbling and mumbling. Then the appendages were raised and facing forward in various directions; then they started spinning like helicopter blades.
"Y-You can only beat the averages so long before they beat you!" The mad man hissed.
"Watch your heads!" Knuckles said jumping down the hole.
"I'll cut the line!" The Fox Boy said as the barrel as shifted into a yellow sword. He sliced the rope making the Egg Tarantula fall on it's back. "Got it!"
Shadow revved into a spin dash. "This is the end!"
The robotic spider rose its pedipalps which made the black and red hedgehog bounce off. "No! I won't let you!"
"Fine fine, wanna do this the hard way? Gotta catch me first!" Sonic dashes up the wall heading into the dark ceiling.
Like a moth to a flame, he followed the speeding hedgehog and then Sonic jumped and revved into a spin dash knocking the Egg Tarantula into the wall making Tails cringe at the impact, then the robotic arachnid fell on it's back.
"No no no! Stop it! Stop it!"
"Ready to end this fellas?" The Blue Blur inquired landing on the floor.
"Okay!"
"Alright!"
"Let's get this over with!"
The four revved into their spin dash and zoomed at the upside-down Egg Tarantula thus destroying it thus enraging Dr. Eggman more and more causing him to shout his last infuriated statement.
"I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!"
As the final blow was struck thus completely destroying the machine causing the mad scientist to fall into the wreckage as the four heroes land to relish their victory.
"Whew… that was cathartic…" Sonic said wiping the sweat off of his brow and grabbing his enemy's pince nez glasses. "I'll leave the speeches about "winning the day" and "conquering evil" to Sally. I'll be content with a "nyah nyah" and "I win"."
"Um… Egg-"
Tails was about to get his attention till he got startled by Dr. Eggman's maniacal scream with spit leaving his mouth. The finally insane doctor started shouting gibberish things and he fell on his back struggling to tear his mustache off which he did causing Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to cringe at the sad sight, then the Fox Boy walked to the door trying to find something that can control the doors that are still closed. The color left his being in the shocking realization that they're literally trapped in the room.
(-Music Ends-)
(-Music: Madness [ Sonic Adventure 2 ]-)
"G-Guys! We're trapped!" He said with growing trepidation. "I can't find a panel or switch to open the door!"
"What?!"
Shadow glares at the drooling Dr. Eggman as he charged up another Chaos Spear. "You! You have planned this!"
"C'mon Shadow! Eggman is a drooling mess! He can't even speak proper sentences! There's someone else pulling the strings!" Knuckles says getting the Ultimate Life Form's attention as he began to think.
Then the room was filled with the victorious laughter from Snively as the four looked up trying to find out where is his voice coming from.
"Congratulations you poor saps! You have defeated my uncle- no, you have BROKEN him!" Snively cackled again before taking a breath. "This is the moment I have been waiting for! To be frank, I was expecting only Sonic to come to his death but the three extras will do!"
"Hey needle nose! Let us out before I break our way out and pound you senseless!" Sonic threatened narrowing his eyes.
Knuckles was punching the door trying to break it but he couldn't make a dent. "Gah! No good! We're stuck!"
"We're in a room made out of solid Mobibendium..." Tails said analyzing the wall and then gazes at the floor. He just fell to his knees and he begun to cry. "W-We're s-stuck!"
"Yes… yes… accept the reality that you four are just moments away of as death is ready to embrace you, along with my mentally broken uncle. This is the end of the Eggman Empire… it's time for someone new to fill the status quo. I, Colin Kintobor Jr. will be the genuine ruler of Mobius and for my first act of action is to rid of the remains of my time being shrouded by uncle's shadow." Snively says as a huge laser came from the ceiling and it was aimed at the four. "It's a shame for this weapon to be useless once I use it to dispose of you four. Better say your prayers!"
Frantic banging came from the door which made them turn to it to hear their friends crying out to them which made the nephew of Dr. Eggman laugh evilly.
"Sonic! Hang on, we'll get you out!" Sally said.
"It's time to show your pathetic friends that I am not like uncle! Sayonara!" Snively laughs as the machine powered up.
"I… I… I can't believe it's over…" Knuckles said balling his hands into fists and shaking as the wave of hopelessness washed over him.
Shadow crossed his arms as he shuts his eyes. "..."
Seeing his friends and rival embrace themselves for their impending deaths, Sonic turned to the door as a sad smile came on his face. He touched the door. "Sal… everyone… thanks for the way past cool ride but never give up the fight. Never lose hope!"
Then as the room was enshrouded by the white light of the laser as the weapon fired a multi-colored beam which shone bright…

As we leave Mobius, went enter the world of Remnant , a world of airships, gadgets, high-tech weaponry and a form of natural energy called Dust existing side by side and all living creatures possess a soul, the physical manifestation of which is known as Aura : a form of innate energy that bestows its user with certain abilities and powers. Unique expressions of these abilities which are specific to individuals are known as Semblances . Remnant is populated by two intelligent species - Humanity and Faunus , a race of Human-animal hybrids. Legend states that mankind was born from dust into a hostile world, forced to battle for survival against soulless creatures of darkness known as the Grimm . However, man discovered a power that would help them combat the forces of darkness; they named their newly discovered power, Dust, after that from which they were formed. Armed with Dust, described as "Nature's Wrath", mankind was able to turn the tide against the Grimm. Then the four kingdoms are the main outposts of civilization in Remnant. Vale . Mistral . Vacuo . And Atlas . These havens are safe from the threat of the Grimm compared to the hostile world that exists outside of their borders. The majority of Humans and Faunus live within the safety of the Kingdoms. But it seems that Remnant will receive some visitors that are not from this plane of reality. We focus on the continent of Saunus , where Vale is located but we'll set our eyes on the small island at the west of the continent, Patch . The secluded and heavily forested island were filled with giggles of two girls. One girl had fair skin, lilac eyes, bright golden hair in twin pigtails, a orange scarf, wearing a grey shirt that reached past her waist that had a orange belt at the waist, black shorts, orange socks, and light brown shoes, she is "Yang Xiao Long" (6 yo). And the other girl has fair skin, silver eyes, black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips, wearing a maroon sleeveless hoodie with a white sleeveless shirt underneath, a black skirt, and black shoes, she is "Ruby Rose" (4 yo). It seems that the two girls were playing hide-and-seek.
"Ruby! Ruby! Where are you?! You can't hide from me forever!" Yang declared as she dug through the bushes looking for her half-sister.
Ruby, who was hiding behind a tree couldn't stop giggling but she gasped as she heard Yang's footsteps coming closer to the tree she was hiding behind, she dove in the bushes. Unfortunately, she heard the bush move making the blonde smirk as she slowly approached the shrubbery where her younger half-sister is in till a white light shone deeper in the woods causing Yang and Ruby to run to where the white light come from. After a bit of running, the two girls almost fell in a Ilumetsa sized crater. They looked at each other before Yang slide down the crater to gasp in shock.
[A/N: The Ilumetsa crater is the smallest crater on Earth. It is 80 meters in diameter.]

"There are people in here! Ruby! Get Dad!" Yang said causing the young girl to run off.
Little Ruby ran as fast her feet could carry her as she ran into a cabin and then her and a man rushed back to Yang who were watching over the four unconscious boys.
"Yang!" A masculine voice called her, a with man with blond hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes, he wore an orange bandana around his left arm, and wore brown cargo pants. He is "Taiyang Xiao Long".
"We gotta take them in! They're hurt!" She pleaded trying to get the boy with blue hair out of the dirt.
"On it!" Taiyang began carrying the two boys with red hair and black and red hair. "Ruby. Get the boy with the orange hair."
"Okay Dad!"
(-Music Ends-)
The three got the four boys and brought them back to their cabin, Taiyang cleaned them up and got them clothed and set them in beds. In the next morning, in one of the rooms, the boy with fair skin and blue hair revealed to have hedgehog ears as both ears began twitching causing the boy to groan as he opens his eyes, he slowly sat up looking around to see that he was in a room, he yawned and stretched. It seems that his hair is like 6 quills dropping back from the back of his head, 2 quills protruding from his back drooping downward and a short tail that points up. Then he noticed a mirror as he got off of the bed to take a look at himself. When he saw his reflection, his eye twitched as he inhaled.
"AAAHHHHHHH!"
A scream that woke everyone and scared off of the birds. But his scream woke up Taiyang, Ruby, and Yang that stormed in the room to find their guest running around circles as a blue blur making them have a sockdolager reactions but young Ruby was in awe of how fast he was going.

"At least he's awake…" Taiyang cleared his throat getting the bluette to stop like he was a plank of wood. "Uh… are you okay?"
"Who are you?! Where are my friends?!"
"Hold on now! You're in our house!" Yang said frowning at his attitude and she placed her fists on her hips. "You should be grateful you know!"
"Don't mind her son, your friends are resting in their rooms but… I am sure that they're awake now due to your screaming. I am Taiyang." Taiyang said after yawning. "So what's your name?"
"Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog (5 yo)! The fastest thing alive!" Sonic introduced himself with his traditional thumbs up. "Thanks for looking out for me and my friends."
"Sonic? Where are you?" Called a voice which made him zoom past the three.
"Tails!"
He sees a boy with fair skin, orange hair with three plucks with white tips, sapphire eyes, orange ears, and two fox tails. Sonic gives the boy known as Tails (4 yo) a hug but then realizes something, he looked younger now.
"Yo Tails! You look like a kid!"
"Huh?! So do you!"
"It seems all of us have regressed to children." Said a boy with fair skin, crimson eyes with red stripes on his hair and around the edges of his eyes, black hedgehog ears, a patch of white fur on his chest, his hair was similar to Sonic's but four of them curve upwards, and two that curve downwards, has two spines on his back and a small tail. "So where are Sonic?"
"Well Shadow (7 yo), these three saved us. The big guy is Taiyang, and I don't know the two girls though…" Sonic droned trying to figure out Yang and Ruby's names.
"You can call me Yang and this my sister Ruby." She introduced herself and her sister.
"I'm Tails, thank you for looking after us." Tails said kindly before bowing out of respect.
Shadow closes his eyes as he crosses his arms. "Shadow."
"Knuckles (7 yo)." Said a boy who is named "Knuckles" with tan skin, red dreadlocks, purple eyes, a white crescent mark on his chest, and a red tail that raises near the end.
"Interesting set of names you four have. Are those your ACTUAL names?" Taiyang inquired.
"Yeah, those are our names." The bluette answered with a nod.
"Are you guys hungry? We can talk more after breakfast." The older man suggested, he chuckles hearing rumbles of their stomachs.
Tails blushed as he places his hand on his stomach. "Y-Yes please…"

After eating a hearty breakfast, the four boys sat on the couch; they explained (with the exception of Shadow) on what happened to them, Taiyang, Ruby, and Yang couldn't believe their ears on what they were saying. After an hour of discussion and exchanging notes, Ruby and Yang went back to their rooms to brush up leaving Taiyang and the four boys. The older man rubs his chin as he looks up at the ceiling with a sigh trying to wrap his head around this, if he told anyone about this, the people will think he's crazy but there's an upside to this.
"Interdimensional beings, Chaos Emeralds , and a war huh… knowing this, you have no place to stay but you four can stay here but under two conditions." Taiyang said getting their attention.
"What's that Tai?" Sonic inquired.
"I want you four to be Huntsmen." He answered getting various reactions from them.
"You want us to be Huntsmen? Be like heroes? That's easy! Are you in guys?" Sonic asks his friend with an excited look on his face.
Tails nods eagerly with his two tails wagging. "It's going to be fun! I'm in!"
"Well… I guess…" Knuckles said being unsure about this as he looks outside.
"I accept this condition of yours." Said Shadow who had his eyes closed.
"And for my second condition; your secret is safe with me but I know a few people who know… well sorta know about these type of things. But rest assured, your secret is safe. I want your consent." He says.
"Sure."
"Of course."
"Do as you wish."
"Whatever."
Taiyang smiles as he had an understanding between himself and the four. "Good! Starting tomorrow, we'll start teaching you about Remnant's culture and technology. Is that good?"
Tails' eyes lit up in excitement. "Ooo yes please!"
"I am quite curious on what this world has to offer." Knuckles added with a small smile on his face.
"Let's not forget our objective." Shadow reminded Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. "We need to find our way home."
Sonic smirks looking at his friends. "Yeah but we can have some fun here, this is going to be a WAY PAST COOL adventure!"
