Chapter 1: Blue Hair

"Almost got it. almost. . . . there! " came an aged voice of a man who had graying brown air, and a moustache, dressed in a blue shirt, with a lab coat over it, kakis, and dress shoes. Standing in front of him was a machine with different parts put together, with a metallic ring.

He moved over to the control console imputing a command before picking up a blue colored gem. "With this emerald I'll be able to supply Acorn Island, and The marines with a near infinite supply of energy." "One can only hope so Charles.", came another voice that belonged to a rotund, balding man with a brown mustache, dressed in a red shirt, a white lab coat, black pants, and equally black shoes. "After all it does seem unlikely that this Chaos Emerald could allow us to harness so much power." "Ah, ah, ah." Charles replied "Julian, even after all the time you, me, and Vegapunk spent in The Grand Line, you of all people should realize that the impossible may not exist."

Hedgehog D. Charles, and Robotnik D. Ivo Julian have been friends as long as they were kids, both were brilliant scientist who conducted experiments for The World Government. Their minds along with Vegapunk's have led to numerous breakthroughs for the Marines.

"I didn't say it was impossible, I only show concerns on previous experiments with this gem." Over the past century scientists have discovered, rare gems of great power known as Chaos Emeralds. In only the past 50 years has one scientist has found a way to control, Dr. Robotnik D. Gerald, 'The Father of Modern Robotics', and grandfather of Julian. But even with his success with the 'garden' variety emeralds, he has never found a way to obtain the power of The Super Emerald, a chaos emerald that puts the others to shame in power.

"If ojii-san could figure out how to harness the ordinary green ones, then with our minds put together we can open a new path for the future.", Charles assured his friend as he held up a big gold-colored ring "The rings I made should be able to hold a good bit of energy. I needed you to build the parts I needed to make it possible, and check my math for me, can never be too careful." Julian replied with a "You bet your ass."Charles replied with "Bet me a chilidog and I will"

But before Julian could retort he heard a cry of an infant "Did you need to bring your nephew with you", complained Julian "He's both a hindrance, and a liability." Charles walked over to a crib with a baby boy, a little over a year old, inside. This was Hedgehog D. Maurice Olgivie, the nephew of Charles."I have to I promised Otouto-san I'd watch over him." "Jules-san and Bernie-san were good people, but if they were still here today they would also like you to work so you can give him a future, not risking it in a lab.", As Charles was being scolded Olgivie spots the ring his uncle had a moment ago, and reaches for it this does not go unnoticed by Charles."Hmm? Alright Olgivie you can play with the ring.", Charles then gives Olgivie the ring "Are you sure you should be doing that Charles?" "Lighten up Julian the rings uncharged and completely harmless. I was going to use it as a demonstration for when we get to Marine HQ, but I guess Olgivie can have it. Besides it's too big to choke on.", Julian looked at him for a second then "Very well if you're sure its harmless, then OK." "All right let's make history Julian, fire it up."

Julian then went to turn on the machine after a few seconds rings begin to fill into the orb around the machine, floating around the pseudo-orbit the machine had.

"I'll be damned, Charles it's working!" "What'd I tell you, this thing will open doors for us." After a few minutes the rings orbit in an accelerated fashion.

"This can't be right, the safety settings should've kept the rings at a set speed?", Charles became worried "Okay Julian we're gonna have to look over the machine again, shut it down." But before Julian could turn it off, a surge of energy fried the control "the controls are dead Charles we need to get out of here." Charles knew this experiment had failed, and he may very well never attempt it again, But he'd cross that bridge later "Alright I need to grab Olgivie befor-" he never finished as the machine had cause the roof to become unstable, and collapse in front of Charles "No! Julian! Olgivie!" he ran towards the masonry, But before he could do anything an explosion of energy forced him back unconscious.

Hours later he began to stir, and found himself in a bed, this was the least of his concerns "Julian! Olgivie!", his first thought was to get out of the bed, but two figures stopped him "Charles calm down your still recovering." "Max!? Garp!? what happened?"

In front of Charles were his long-time friends King Acorn Maximillian and Monkey D. Garp "Julian! Where's Julian!?", Max Put his hands up in a placating manner "There's nothing left of Julian, can't even tell us if he was even there at all." Charles looked frightened "What about Olgivie!?", Garp gave him a dumbfound look "He's. Well you see. You should see him yourself, He's right over there." finished Garp as he pointed to the other side of the room.

No sooner as Garp pointed did Charles got up and ran to where his nephew was. What was waiting for him at the end shocked him to a new degree "Olgivie?"he said in an almost inaudible tone. The nurses that were around Olgivie moved out of the way, revealing the infant completely unscathed, nowhere in sight was there a single scratch or bruise was to be found, But that was not what shocked Charles the most.

What sat on top of Olgivie's once brown head was a mane of blue hair. "My God! What the hell has my experiment done to my nephew!?" the question was more towards himself, than anyone else.

Later

"Charles let's talk this out more." the voice of max called to his friend, "He's right", said Garp from behind Max " We need to discuss this out, accidents do happen, besides what am I suppose to explain to the higher ups at HQ that we lost two of our top scientists?"

"You don't have to tell them anything.", the sound of his voice was neutral ,but there was a hint of sorrow in it "I'll you a letter of my resignation, and furthermore that accident almost cost me the loss of my nephew, and took the life of my best friend, beside they still have Vegapunk."

Garp pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed "So you're really retiring from the Marines huh?" Max then spoke up."I know once you make up your mind it'd take nothing less than a complete disaster to change it?"

Charles looked back with Olgivie in his arms "I guarantee one thing for certain old friend, My nephew is in for a grand future."

So ends my first chapter in my crossover Review and toss around ideas if you would I'm open for constructive criticism so fire away and if you don't like it, or your jusy flaming for the hell of it forget it.
