So this is the first story I've ever properly written and published somewhere for someone else to read. I've made stories before but never really shown too many people, but those who have seen them seem to like them. The first story I'm going to write is a Sonic the Hedgehog one, if you couldn't already tell from where you found this story, and will be slightly crossing it over with the DBZ Universe. This will be the longest story I'll do for this site, and considering I've gone back and updated all the Chapters (the ones that have been updated can be seen in the Story description to let you know how far along I am in the process), I can tell you know that while the story is long, in the end it is defiantly worth it. This first chapter is going to be my way to give you a bit of background on the story and the Universe it takes place in so that you get a better grasp of what is happening, and maybe even appreciate the story more. Hopefully. Possibly. Whatever.
The universe my story is set in is the Archieverse Sonic, which is the comic Universe of Sonic based on the Satam Cartoon show if you didn't already know. There will be some tweaks to some of the events and characters, but they'll only be very minor and for characters, it's mainly just for age and a few abilities here and there. I don't take credit for the original stories, and I'm not trying to steal ideas from it before anyone accuses me of doing so.
As well as that, my universe will coexists with the DBZ Universe (if you couldn't already tell) although, nothing really outside of Otherworld will be shown, as that is where practically all the encounters with Characters from the DBZ Universe will take place. Even then not many characters appear, and a lot of them only got mentioned without actually being seen. If you either don't know what DBZ is and don't understand whatever i just said, or just don't care, I suggest you either go look it up, read on regardless, or go away if you choose. Call me a Sonic and DBZ fanboy all you like, I won't care: my story, my ideas, and my choice.
Now that shitty introduction is out of the way, let's get into the actual story.
The years in which certain events take place goes as follows, and if you're wondering why I don't use the years and such that are in the actual Sonic Comics, it's because I for the life of me can't find where and what they are, so this just makes things a little easier:
Sonic and most of the Freedom Fighters were born around 1989/1990. The 'coup' where Julian or Robotnik took over Mobotropolis happened in 1995. After years of fighting, they managed to defeat him around the year 2000, however he returned as Eggman in 2001. Then the rest of the events in the comics up to issue up issue 160 will have happened over the course of a few years, and issue 160 would've taken place in 2006 when Sonic would've turned 16. From there, the rest of the comics would unfold over the course of a few years, up until issue 196.
If you haven't read any of the Sonic Comics, you probably won't understand what I'm about to talk about, so either give them a read (because they're actually not half bad) or don't bother, you should be able to understand the story regardless. Now, for the changes I mentioned.
The first change happens around issue 168/169, when A.D.A.M brought every Chaos Emerald in the Universe to Mobius, and whilst Sonic fought him, Shadow and Tails used their Super Forms to send the Emeralds into the Zone of Silence. The change here is that, because every Emerald was brought to Mobius, that included the 7 Super Emeralds which were long thought to have been lost ages ago. After finding out that the 7 Super Emeralds needed to stay in the dimension to keep the balance of Chaos Energy throughout the Universe, the two couldn't send the Emeralds to the Zone of Silence, and so teleported them to the far reaches of space where they would be out of both A.D.A.M'S and Eggman's hands.
What the two didn't know is that, after drifting through space for a while, the 7 Emeralds eventually crashed down on some unknown Planet known as Planet Agar, where the locals discovered them and began to research them. The reason for this change is because I like the idea of the Super Emeralds, and they made for an excellent plot device to set up one of the events in the later Chapters of the story.
The second change happens around issue 173, after Antoine proposed to Bunnie. Both Sonic and Sally reflected on the decisions they made, and decided to make up with each other properly before reuniting as a couple. The reason I made this change was simply because I think it was a really nice and romantic part of the comics for them to get back together.
The third change happens in issue 196, at the very end of the Moebius arc. After Sonic tricks Scourge into powering down from his Super Form, weakening him in the process, Sonic decides to give his Anti-counterpart a true beat down in order to drive home his point about hero's always coming out on top by doing the right thing rather than being a bully and getting the easy and quick reward for being bad.
However, unlike the comics, Scourge managed to escape at the very lats second thanks to a warp ring he had left over, though due to the beat down he received, not to mention the Suppression Squad turning against him whilst Fiona ditched him, Scourge wasn't taking his kingdom back anytime soon. Like with the Super Emeralds, I did this change so that I could use Scourge more in the story, as he will be used quite early in the story to demonstrate the scale of power throughout the series.
Like I mentioned earlier, the timing of the events from around issue 160 onwards take place over the course of 2 years. To dumb it down a little, one of the arcs of the comic would take place, a couple of months would pass, the next event would take place, and so on until we get to issue 196, and Sonic and the others are around 18 years old.
Now, for the actual story:
Mobius Z will follow the life and adventures of my original character, Logan Mangham (and don't worry, he isn't just a crappy recolour). Logan was born in the city of Harthill, home to the Hybrid Species of Mobius, who have become proud and powerful warriors due to being a mix of Dragon, Wolf and Hedgehog, species that the gods deemed some of the strongest on Mobius, and supposedly created the Hybrid species from these 3 races. Throughout the story, Logan pretty much has one goal; to become the strongest warrior Mobius has ever seen, and maybe even become its protector if he grows strong enough.
Along his journey, there will be many complications and powerful foes to get on his way, though with the help of his friends and family, as well as Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, who he will meet sometime in the story, Logan will take on these foes in his attempt to keep his home and Planet safe from harm. Along his journey, Logan will meet the legendary warrior, Son Goku, and train under him in order to be able to combat the challenges ahead. Not only will we see Logan's story take place across one Universe, but thanks to the amazing and totally not stupid decision from Archie to reboot the entire franchise, we may see Logan's adventures unfold across multiple Universes.
But of course, if you want to find out more, you'll have to read on and find out. If you managed to sit through that exposition, then hopefully you'll take the time to read the story I put before you (and maybe even leave a review telling me your thoughts on the story so far and such). Something I need to point out is that even though I've gone back and updated all the Chapters as I've gone along, you will see the quality of the writing slowly go from mediocre to something much better the further you read, as when I first started writing this story, I hand't exactly found my writing style. However, I have now, and so the quality of the story will get much better.
I also ask that you check out my Deviantart Account: Mangham13, to see the designs of the characters I have created. I have done my best to paint a picture of them, but I recommend you check out my account in order to get a better image. On there you will find the Characters looks, a little bit of backstory about them, their techniques, power levels, and so on and so forth.
All that said, I hope you consider reading my story, I hope that you enjoy it, and if you do, then thanks for reading! Later!
