Sonic the Hedgehog: Deadly Awakening
Disclaimer: You know how hard it is to think of a good title now a days? A new evil rears its ugly head, and Sonic along with the freedom fighters and Chaotix, with help from the Babylon Rogues and others must stop them.
Every 10 000 years or so, a green star passes by the Earth. On rare occasions, it will come to Earth in the form of a shooting star and leave something behind. Sometimes it'll help better our understanding, other times…
Knothole: 11:00 p.m.
Tails was observing the stars, hoping to see the legendary green star pass by the area. Sonic, along with Knuckles, Mighty and Charmy, was hoping to see the star too. "So when does this star appear?" Knuckles asked. "It should be any second now," Tails replied, adjusting his telescope, "after that, you'll have to wait another ten thousand years…" A green star shot through the air and instantly disappeared. "Wow, did you see that up there!?" Mighty exclaimed. Suddenly, a blast of green light shot from the heavens and exploded in a distant area. The blast proved so powerful, Tails was knocked off his feet. Sonic and the others tried to keep their balance. "Was that it?" Charmy asked worriedly. Tails nodded, "Yeah, now we won't see it for another ten thousand years…" Sonic yawned, "Well, I think it's about we got going now, we've got a lot to do tomorrow." They nodded and went their separate ways…
Meanwhile, in the desert area…
A huge sandstorm was brewing. An enormous crater containing a rock with a strange green aura pulsated with enormous quantities of chaos energy. Ten swatbots slowly picked the rock up. "Dr. Eggman, we've found the chunk of debris from the green star." One said. "Very good!" Eggman replied through the communicator, "now then, bring it back and let's call it a night shall we?" "Yes sir!" All ten shouted. Suddenly, the strange rock began glowing red and shot the swatbots with chaos energy. "Swatbot 7893452, what's going on?" Eggman called, "Status report!" The communicator instantly disintegrated as the bots began to morph and change shape. Huge horns began to grow on their heads and shoulders, their color went from simple dark blue to gold, their appearance grew more monstrous and they became indestructible. The rock disappeared into the main swatbot's body, causing more distinct changes from the others. His arms bulged and it instantly morphed into a metallic version of Chaos himself. "New mission: obtain the seven chaos emeralds," it muttered, "And retrieve the master emerald. First location spotted: Knothole."
The next day…
Sonic sped through the town searching high and low for a chaos emerald. He searched around the gates of the town and found it, almost buried in sand. The green chaos emerald was in his sights. He reached out to grab it when suddenly a green blur sped by and grabbed it. He stopped and grinned fiendishly. "Well, well, well look who decided to show up." Sonic muttered. Scourge simply grinned, he looked just like Sonic, except he was green and wore a brown leather jacket and had scars on his stomach and black sunglasses. "My posse decided to let me go and get the chaos emeralds," he replied, "I decided to try here, and look who I find just about to grab it!" Sonic simply growled, "Give the emerald back Scourge!" Scourge simply shook his head and was ready to dash off when he was struck by a laser. The two hedgehogs looked up to find three swatbots. They had gold armor and one of them even had a sword. "Looks like your gang isn't the only one here looking for chaos emeralds…" Sonic said, grinning. "First emerald in sight," One Swatbot said, "Retrieving it now…" Scourge slammed into the Swatbot with a spin attack. It stumbled backwards and then stopped. Not even a dent in his armor. The robot scanned the green hedgehog, "Name: Scourge, Species: Hedgehog, imminent threat, must be eliminated."
Scourge sped towards the machine again, however this time the Swatbot was ready. He grabbed Scourge, who struggled furiously against the strong grip. The bot spun around three times and tossed the hedgehog sky high into the barren desert. Sonic stared, "Well, these certainly ain't any ordinary Eggman robots…" The other two swatbots reached for the emerald. "Oh no you don't!" Sonic growled. He went into his patented spin dash technique and swiftly grabbed the emerald. The other two robots scanned Sonic, "Name: Sonic, Species: Hedgehog, imminent threat, must be eliminated." The swat bots began shooting at Sonic with turret guns. Sonic avoided them with acrobatic agility. "New robots, same ol' tricks…" Sonic said. Suddenly, the third swat bot punched the blue hedgehog in the face. The emerald went tumbling out of his hand and he slammed into the wall, unconscious. "Emerald retrieved," The swatbots muttered simply, "heading to next destination: Angel Island."
Sonic, are you okay? Sonic!
Sonic stirred, he woke up to find Sally, as well as the other freedom fighters, Fiona, Rotor, Antoine, Bunny, Tails, Amy, and Mina as well as the Chaotix. "Sonic, what happened?" Sally asked. Sonic groaned, rubbing his head, "I found the chaos emerald, then Scourge appears, next thing I know, I'm facing off against three of Eggman's swatbots…" He shook his head, "They got the chaos emerald." "How did they get the emerald?" Rotor muttered, thinking it through, "Unless…" He gasped, "Sonic, you said they were gold swatbots right?" Sonic nodded. "I think we better get to my lab…"
In the desert plains…
Three figures surfed through the desert on their extreme gear. "You're asking Sonic for a rematch now?" Wave asked. Jet simply grinned. "I've got a score to settle with that red echidna, Knuckles!" Storm growled, slamming his fists together. Jet looked around; suddenly, he found a giant crater in their path. "Hold up guys!" Jet called. They stopped in front of the crater. "What do you think caused it?" Storm asked, looking at Wave. "Well it could be the crater from the green star." Wave answered matter-of-factly. She began explaining to her teammates about how it would go around Earth's atmosphere once every ten thousand years and on rare occasions, leaves something good, or deadly behind. "It's quite a sight to behold actually…" She said, "While you two were playing Tony Hawk American Wasteland, I was observing the star." She cocked an eyebrow, wondering why neither of them replied. She looked down and found the two snoring beside her. She squawked so loudly, the two woke up, startled. "Would you at least LISTEN to what I'm trying to tell you!?" Jet simply sighed, "Let's just get out of here; we're just wasting time and sunlight, which means less time for a rematch." "And there'll be less time to beat up Knuckles!" Storm wailed. They jumped back onto their extreme gear and dashed off.
Angel Island 5:00 p.m.
The ten swatbots were leaving a path of destruction in their path. Flaming buildings and crumbling debris, injured civilians, and even destroyed temples as they continued their search for an emerald. They crashed through the wall of the Dark Legion building, where Lien-Da, Julie-Su's stepsister, was practicing for their war against their icy counterparts. "Lien-Da, we've detected a chaos emerald inside the premises, and we need your co-operation…" The main Swatbot said. "Why would I give a bunch of Eggman robots my chaos emerald?" She replied furiously, "Guards attack!" Fifty guards lunged at the robots, only to be defeated in less than ten minutes. "We shall now retrieve the emerald," The Swatbot repeated, "Co-operate and no one shall be harmed." Lien-Da growled and attacked the robots, with absolutely no prevail. The chaos looking Swatbot, grabbed her and suddenly she began to get absorbed into the metal. "What is this!?!" She cried. "Rather than absorbing chaos emeralds," The chaos bot muttered, "I absorb people and their abilities!" She sank deeper into the metal until, no sign of her was left. The chaos bot then began to change form. It began to slim down and become more agile and fierce in combat. "Lien-Da the Echidna has been absorbed…" The other Swatbot took the yellow emerald. "Second emerald retrieved, next destination: Station Square."
