A/N Alright so this basically gonna be my idea I thought of looking at some Fiona and (hiding name for surprise factor) on google. I don't got much else to say but that some inspiration is taken from the stuff I found so ya.

Anyway let's go!

"So this was the world now, a bitter landscape where only the tough survive"

It finally happened, years ago now. Eggman went for the kill and had finally done what he wanted. He now ruled the world. What was left of it. The green planet was mostly a barren wasteland. Small pockets of Mobians survived day by day hoping Eggmans patrols wouldn't be ordered to execute them all, or hope the bots didn't find them if they weren't a registered settlement.

It all happened so fast, he seemingly stopped doing all of his usual bad stuff of wanting to kill Sonic or whatever. No he was gone for a long time and like a tidal wave his bots rose from the ground all around the globe and decimated any resistance. That was it, the simultaneous attack on the world was too much for anyone to stop. That was about 2 years ago.

Millions died and forest were burned to snuff out anyone hiding inside. Food was scarce and medicine was rationed.

Eggman said he cared for everyone who was alive if you consider the minimal amount of resources were town caring. His bots would keep the small settlements in check and occasionally would slaughter a town simply because Eggman felt like it.

What happened to the Freedom fighters? Well most were dead now, people heard rumors some were alive, especially Sonic but that might have been just hope talking.

As for everyone else most were considered rumors, hell even legends.

But the one person who had escaped the bullets, the imprisonment and executions was Fiona Fox.

Course she hadn't been a Freedom fighter for almost 7 years when those events took place. With another two years that made 9 making her 25 years old now.

How'd she survive, pretty much dumb luck actually.

Two years ago…

When Eggman made his global attack she and Scourge had once again been trying to find a way to kill Sonic and his friends. She had just been about to call in the Destructix for help when it all happened.

While planning the bots found them and attacked, they held them off for some time but eventually the two had no chance against the ever increases ferocity and numbers.

"Scourge, we need to get out of here!" she gasped avoiding a missile flying by before jumping behind cover.

Her green boyfriend grunted having taken a bullet that grazed his arm and nodded preparing his warp ring.

The portal opened and he turned to her waiting for her to run to him. She was currently just a little bit away hiding behind a tree to avoid gunfire and was about to make a run for it when another missile smashed into the base of the tree and exploded.

The explosion knocked her off her feet and she landed on her stomach wincing in pain. The ringing in her ears was painful and deafened all noise. Adrenaline made her keep going and she looked up to see the tree was crashing down on her.

She barely rolled out of the way and winced trying to get up. The tree gave her cover but while trying to get up a bullet hit the side of the bark near her. The result was a small bit of bark cracking off and embedding itself into her upper thigh.

She once again gasped in pain falling to her knees. The wound wasn't bad it was the sudden pain that kept her down, she looked towards Scourge and his warp ring finding him looking to her.

The open space between them was large and with her dazed state, hurt leg and all the bullets flying around she wasn't going to make it to him.

All this caused Scourge to do something Fiona had never expected he would do to her.

He looked away and hopped through the ring by himself leaving her behind.

She froze in place, it had been her only escape but more importantly he left her behind. He knew how she took being left behind which had been a big reason why she betrayed the Freedom Fighters. Now he was gone and only she could save herself now.

The fox forced the emotional pain to go away and frantically looked around for any possible escape.

The bots were slowly barring down on her chipping away at the tree trunk so she only had so long to escape. The next closest cover was on the far side of the trunk so she crawled that way.

The pain in her leg was slowly being nullified by her adrenaline so she prepared to dive and roll to the rock.

She was successfully able to make the dive and avoided any hits. Like she expected the bots followed her movement.

She was relying completely on luck and she slowly retreated from one cover to another hoping she'd make it to where she wanted to go.

It took almost half an hour of grueling ducking, rolling and diving. Hurting her body to make some leaps and worse got grazed twice. Once in her tail and the only grazing the lower half of her right leg.

Fiona was so tired but she was only a leap away from where she had wanted to go, a steep hill.

She panted see the run would the longest she had done so far. She looked down to her leg, which had a small stream of blood trailing down her leg. Her tail fur was slowly getting sticky and stuck together because of the blood drying in her fur.

She was sore all over yet all she needed to do was make this last run, it felt like a mile considering everything up against her.

Fiona took one last deep breath and burst forward from her cover for the edge. Bullets kicked up dirt in front of her. They were trying to scare her to stop but there was nothing to lose. She just kept barreling forward. Only a wall of flying dirt to get through and she'd be safe… well safer then now.

Before she knew it she stepped and felt no group and yelped falling over. Despite falling and nearly falling on her face she felt much more relief and positioned herself so now she'd be sliding on her back.

Down the hill she went zooming past obstacles like rocks, trees and small changes in the ground. She did her best to avoid them all and saw the approaching tree line down below.

Once she was close enough she hopped up and using her acrobatic skills grabbed a branch used the moment to swing forward and landed on a nearby branch that was able to support her weight.

She continued hopping from one branch to another eventually heading right, hoping the following bots, if they were still following, would keep heading in her previous direction and lose her.

Once she felt she had sufficiently ran she hid in a tree and rested her tired and injured body. The injuries she could easily fix thanks to her medical training using some bandages she kept with her at all time to stop bleeding.

All the bleeding had made her even more tired then she already was. It numbed her senses and reduced her awareness, a couple of times she had nearly fallen or made a mistake in her jumps.

Now she could finally rest her body and looked herself over for any unnoticed injuries. Luckily for there were none, side from some tears in her black pants and belly top. Nothing major though.

She rested and hid for nearly an hour before she smelt something, something bad. She sniffed around and looked around trying to find it's origin. Seeing nothing she climbed further up the tree knowing that if she looked up wind she might see what it was. She reached near the top, as far as she dared to go without risking a branch breaking and looked in the general direction the smell was coming from.

She gasped horrified to see a wall of flames traveling her way destroying the forest and knew she had to move again or be consumed.

Thanks to her nose she had a bit of a head start but on closer inspection it wasn't a natural fire, it was Eggman bots traveling across the lane burning anything green. That made it much quicker so Fiona climbed down quickly to get moving.

She almost didn't make it and the smoke in the air made her cough, not enough to make her pass out yet but her vision was getting blurred.

She reached the tree line but didn't stop, when the robots came out of the tree line they'd see her and call for reinforcements if she did.

So she kept running, and running. She ran for the entire day using the same maneuver from before and waited for the bot army to pass by her. Only then did she finally relax watching behind a rock that was out in the field.

With that moment to think she looked back and saw how everything was completely gone nothing but ash. She may not have been the nicest person but this planet was her home and now this entire area had been burned to the ground.

The sight made her eyes tear up but more importantly made her realize that Eggman wasn't messing around anymore.

Her anger was interrupted when she realized what had happened earlier today. She hadn't been able to think about it until now since she had been in constant danger.

She was alone, not alone but left behind. Scourge left her behind; he saw she was alive and just left. As much as she denied it she did have feelings for the green hedgehog but he obviously didn't care enough to wait for her. He left her for dead, only through luck, persistence and skill had she escaped.

Her mde her cry more knowing he had never truly cared abut her the way she had and instantly crushed all feelings she had previously had for the hedgehog. Nobody was going to desert her like that and deserve her affection. Sure she accused Sonic of the same thing but she knew the details and that he honestly couldn't save her. Scourge had outright left her behind and it enraged her.

If he ever came back she might just try to kill him.

With her emotions set and knowing that her love life was back to square one again she focused on the other injustice going on. Eggman burning the entire forest down.

"Maybe I can burn some anger on his fat ass" she growled.

With that she travelled to the nearest city she could think of.

She had no idea just how big this attack was yet and as such was horrified to see the city under attack, from the looks of it the city had been under siege atleast the same amount time as when she and Scourge were attacked.

Only now did the fox realize just how far Eggman had gone, he wasn't trying to control the world he was making it submit to his will now.

She had no chance of entering the city, the city was surrounded. There was nothing she could do for anyone who may be left in there.

She walked off hoping to find the next city in better shape, it wasn't either. Neither was the next or the one after. Fiona knew just how large scale this was now; there was no safe place now. She had been avoiding patrols for days in her travels.

She travelled for almost two weeks trying to find anybody that might be alive and as luck would have it she saw a cat running across the now destroyed landscape. From what she could tell it was a male but she followed, any interaction with anyone right now better then slowly going insane.

She followed and eventually found what she would eventually call her home. A small town that Eggman allowed to exist for anyone who found it.

The town had a giant TV that everyone had to listen to whenever Eggman wanted to announce something. She learned through his daily announcements that were broadcast to other settlements around the world, that this town was 'registered'. It was a fancy way of saying "Purposely allowing to stay standing because I need people to rule to rule the world"

Besides that she also learned that the town got weekly rations according to how many people lived there so she was forced to sign up. Although she used fake name incase Eggman saw it and tried to kill her considering her abilities and previous affiliations. Everyone in town knew who she was though; it was hard to hide your identity when everyone there knew you as a traitor.

That didn't last long, everyone was too focused on surviving to send hate her way. In fact most of the hate, bad blood and all that went away and she came to be apart of the community. Maybe not the most open in the community but welcomed.

In time she found two pistols for herself having plans of one day wanting to end Eggmans life and save everyone from this hell. Ammo was scarce but she hoarded any she could.

After the first year she took up many jobs around the town, usually dangerous stuff like sending messages from town to town. Or joining in on the small raids the inhabitants made on the food facilities Eggman had set up to send them their food and aid.

Most usually failed and it got harder and harder anyway. People died, but that was expected. She had her fair share of close calls but her skills had been increased since the day Scourge abandoned her.

Speaking of him he never came back, atleast to her knowledge, not like she cared anyway, he was nothing to her now.

Because of this she never really made attempts to get to know people, sure on occasion she'd share a drink with anyone after a raid, exchange a story or two and be at that, but never did she really grow attached to anyone.

She thought back to her old life nearly in the second year, despite her avoiding people she was lonely. Trust just came hard to her after all she'd been through.

Over the last year she slowly found that perhaps she had made mistakes in her life, soon regretting a few. She thought back to her former friends and had come to the conclusion that they truly did care for her, had she only realized that years ago.

With everything that had happened she might never see any of them again. That didn't stop her from listening in to any and all rumors of any of her past friends. All of them were scattered, totally inconsistent or too far away to follow up.

Although one night she listened into a one rumor, one that truly peaked her interest. It was the only story the continued to stay consistent, have a profile and most importantly was close enough to check out.

That was near the end of the second year, although she waited a week or two to see if the stories continued, which they did.

Apparently a couple miles from here there was an area that Eggbots frequently went missing or came up destroyed, more importantly if somebody that wasn't a robot traveled through this area they might have a chance or mysteriously finding a small cache of supplies.

It didn't sound like one of the Freedom Fighters but it sounded like a group that knew what they were doing. Considering that raids were getting increasingly harder and they apparently had supplies to go around she decided to go find this group.

In her small room she sat on her make shift bed cleaning her pistols like always. She had to keep them constantly clean or risk them jamming. She didn't use them often to preserve the little ammo she found but she would have to bring them this time. The distance was so far it would require her to travel for a day, atleast, just to reach her destination.

Her attire hadn't changed much since the day she had been left for dead; she had patched it all up since then. She was now 25 years old. The only major difference was she was older looking, a bit taller. She's gained a few scars over the year. The most memorable were the two she received the day it all started. The one on her leg and the other on her tail. To add to that she had a scar on the lower side of her stomach, one going lengthwise down her arm. Considering the destroyed world she wasn't able to tend to her looks like she had before so it got dirty.

Besides that she also carried around two combat knifes in her boots just incase she ever got into close combat. Not worth much against a robot but it had kept some male paws off her in the past.

Finally she got up taking the small backpack she had filled with a small amount of supplies to keep her sustained for the trip.

She let the building owner…

She chuckled, owner was a strong word. He was the dude who kept the building in check because he had to.

Anyway she let the guy know she was gonna be gone awhile. He was cool with that and she made her way to leave the town already having a story for the bots when they inevitably asked.

Reaching the edge of the town she was stopped by one of the guardbots.

"Halt, what is your business leaving?" it's robotic voice asked.

"I'm going for a hike, is that really that bad?" her sarcasm meant nothing to the robot and after a moment it spoke again.

"You are authorized to leave, do not travel too far or patrols will open fire" it warned.

"Thanks" she rolled her eyes but walked off to the east. She knew how to avoid the patrols it was like riding a bike; you don't forget the times, routines and other stuff.

The walk was long and depressing, being alone made it impossible to not think about how the world wasn't alive anymore, and the green was totally gone replaced by grey.

Her steps kicked up ash, which coated her boots and lower pants; it was hard to not think that some of that ash may have previously been a living person.

The only thing she could think of was who these people might be out in the wasteland standing defiant against Eggman, she wanted to do the same but didn't have the resources, skills nor people to do anything worthwhile. She somewhat hoped that the group might see her potential and make her join, if they didn't kill her first.

Like she predicted it took her almost and entire day to reach the area so she started looking around the massive area. Would she find them, were they here at all?

She wouldn't have her question answered today and was forced to sleep there for the night. The small amount of food she had was crap, nothing new there. Eggman barely fed them anyway and what he did feed them was hardly considered food, it only made her dreams of revenge better knowing she'd kill him then raid his food stocks and have a glorious dinner.

The night was cold; the only thing she had to keep her warm was a tattered blanket she brought along. She couldn't make a fire, there was nothing to burn and even if she did it would attract attention of egg bots.

In the morning she continued her search. By midday there was still no sign of anything, no destroyed robots, no food supply drops and most importantly, nobody around at all.

She was losing hope of anyone being here at all, perhaps these were just rumors too. This made her sigh and feel depressed. If this was a lie then nobody was out there fighting. All of it was lies. Fighting for food wasn't defiance, it was survival, it did them nothing to steal food from robots. It was the reason why Eggman hadn't burned the towns to the ground yet, because he knew their raids were simply to survive, any damage they caused was easily fixed or replaced.

She was ready to give up and head home.

As she walked back west she heard a voice behind her, it scared, excited her and put her on edge because it wasn't just a normal voice. It was covered by a voice augmenter making it sound deep and intimidating.

"Hold it right there"

She froze; it wasn't a robot voice not metallic enough and had actual tone. From what the apparent male said he had a gun pointed to her.

She took a deep breath and hoped this person would let her speak "Are you part of that group that fights the robots here?"

There was silence so she spoke again "I came to possibly help you"

More silence…

The silence scared her; atleast when somebody spoke you could hear their voice and tell what their emotional state was. Although with the voice modulator that was harder anyway. She still didn't hear the figure speak behind her so she was about to speak again, to her relief the figure spoke just before her.

"How'd you know what was happening around here?"

She sighed glad she wasn't dead yet "Rumors, legends, stories" she listed a few.

"So how do you think yu could help me?" the voice asked.

"I'm a skilled combatant, survived multiple encounters with eggbots and even stuff before his attacks. I participate in raids all the time too, I'll be a contribution" she was confident and collected hoping her words would be enough.

"Well considering you are Fiona Fox how can I trust you?" despite the voice filter there was obvious venom in the persons voice.

She sighed looking down, the potential hostile had ID'd her and now had an obvious mistrust of her.

"Listen that's behind me…" she was cut off by the angry voice again.

"Oh that's right, it is behind you"

"W-what?-" she couldn't ask more suddenly feeling intense pain in her body followed almost simultaneously by pain through her entire body. She screamed in pain before the surge of electricity stopped letting her muscles loosen up.

She fell over still intensely shivering from the shocking and panted heavily. On her knees now she couldn't move at all but it didn't matter as everything went black.

The figure stood over her having hit her in the back of her head with their gun and reached down to drag the fox away.

So chapter one, hope this chapter was good for information, I wanted to set up the world and Fionas role in it. Next chapter will reveal the mysterious figure and reveal more about them(I mean if you read some of my other work and read the authors note I'm sure you'll know who this person will be, but if not I'm not gonna reveal the second character for the story quite yet in the description until I'm done chapter 2. I'll admit fanfiction does unknowingly ruin suspense like this by allowing you to put the characters names in the description part which may ruin the surprise of who this may be.

Also I think this might be confusing but the chapter starts out five years after the comics making Fiona 23, plus the extra two years makes her 25. So just incase that was conveyed properly.

So I hope you guys liked this stuff and the world I'm building up, thanks for reading and let me know if you are interested.

Live long and prosper
