Chapter 1: No Longer a Hero
Sonic is currently on vacation. He is on the coast of the continent. He ran here himself. Sonic brung everything that he would need in order relax for this day. He is currently sitting under a palm tree. He is covered in shade. He is wearing sunglasses. Before Sonic drifts off to sleep, he starts to hear a noise. The wind suddenly picks up. He stands up. He looks up to notice that the leaves on the tree are shaking. He backs up. A ladder falls and hits him on his head. He sees Tails' plane. Sonic climbs up this ladder. He enters the jet. He notices that both Tails and Knuckles are in here. Sonic greets everyone while rubbing his head. Tails points towards the TV that's in the corner. The news is on. It looks like Eggman is attacking the city once again. Sonic takes a seat in a chair. They fly back to the city in order to stop Eggman's destruction of the city like they normally do. Sonic says that he can handle this no problem. What they don't know is that the news is old. The news is old by a week. Tails and Knuckles were actually away as well.
In a few minutes, it's clear that the news was off. The city looks completely different. It appears as though the city has been changed on a grand scale. All three of them are confused. Tails flies to his workshop because of this. Once they land, Tails runs straight to his computer. Sonic and Knuckles goes to the room that Tails built so people could relax. Sonic grabs the remote and turns on the TV. From this they learn that the video they saw was from last week. Tails comes running in the room. He says that Eggman now rules the city. Sonic doesn't believe this of course. He says that they will stop Eggman before he completes his goal. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails proceed to leave from the workshop. On their way out the door, they notice that Amy and Cream are running towards them. Cream is actually crying.
"What's going on," Sonic asks calmly.
"Where have you guys been," Amy says. Her voice is booming and it is clear that she's mad. "Eggman has succeeded in making the city his own."
"Well," Sonic says with a smile on his face. "We'll beat Eggman and restore the city, right?" Both Tails and Knuckles agrees.
The reason that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were on vacation is because they just finished destroying Eggman a week ago. They always would relax right after beating Eggman as a means of celebration. Eggman never knew this, but he did find out about it recently. Eggman decided to use this to his advantage. His last city takeover was actually staged. Eggman sent a robot in his place. Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles didn't notice it because the robot flew away in one of Eggman's chairs at the end of the battle. Just as Eggman predicted, they went on vacation. Eggman had enough time to finish his new project that he will reveal later. Eggman is planning to separate the world by blowing it up, but there's more to it than that. Eggman also plans to stop Sonic not only by physical means, but by psychological means as well. This is where his new invention comes into play.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are currently running through the city. Tails told Amy and Cream to follow them from above in the jet so they rescue them in case of an emergency. The city is shockingly empty. It's changed around, but not drastically. Tails still remembers his way through. Eggman only changed the looks, not the streets. The only building that's been really changed around is the biggest building in the city. It was once the mall, but Eggman has made it his own base. They run into here. Sonic walks forward slowly with Tails and Knuckles behind him. Nothing comes out in order to try to stop them or anything. Sonic now thinks that Eggman is making this too easy. They run up an escalator in order to get to the top floor. Eggman isn't here.
Sonic turns around, but as soon as he does he hears something. Right behind Tails is a robot. It's not just any robot, it's Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic punches Tails. Tails flies down the escalator back to the first floor. Sonic runs to the robot. Knuckles goes for him as well. Knuckles swings a punch at it. Metal Sonic grabs Knuckles' punch with his left hand. He tosses Knuckles over his shoulder. Sonic jumps into the air. He rolls into a ball. He homing attacks the robot. Metal Sonic guards this with his hand. Sonic keeps it up. The force of attack eventually pushes Metal Sonic into a wall. The wall breaks and dust flies everywhere clouding Sonic's vision. He coughs while waving his hands through the dust. Sonic is then tapped on the back. Before he turns around, Metal Sonic grabs him by the neck. He lifts Sonic off of the ground. Sonic is gasping for air. With all the strength he has left, he summons the Chaos Emeralds. All seven of them appears around him in a circle. Sonic beings to glow. Metal Sonic increases his grip, but it's not enough. Super Sonic brakes the hold. Metal Sonic flies back. He crashes into a pillar. Knuckles is running towards Super Sonic. He tells him that Tails is gone. Super Sonic decides to finish this quickly. He puts both his hands together. He opens them up while yelling Chaos Control. A big yellow beam of light flies from Super Sonic at an incredible speed. He points this directly at Metal Sonic. An explosion is heard as Metal Sonic explodes while the beam goes through the wall of the building. The place then starts to collapse. Super Sonic grabs Knuckles' right arm then darts out of there like a bullet.
Super Sonic flies up to the jet. He enters through a door that's on the side of it. As soon as he enters, he runs to the cargo hold in order to stock up on rings. He takes 200 of them. Amy asks Knuckles where is Tails. Knuckles couldn't give an answer. Eggman opens transmission with them. His face comes up on screen. Super Sonic walks in from the back.
"You took Tails," Super Sonic screams. "Where are you?"
Eggman laughs. "You can come get him if you think you can," Eggman says with a smile on his face. "I have him here in space with me!"
"Let me talk to him," Super Sonic says loudly. Eggman ends transmission after that. Super Sonic is seriously mad. He grabs Knuckles on his right arm. He order Amy to follow him in the jet. He will leave a trail. Super Sonic darts away while leaving a bright yellow trail. Amy follows this. Super Sonic knows the location of Eggman's base. It is on the moon. He makes it here in less than a minute. Eggman base is located in the middle of the biggest crater on the moon. It is pretty tall. Super Sonic flies for the top. He busts through a window. Eggman turns around in his big, leather chair. Super Sonic and Knuckles are standing right in front of him. He doesn't say a word. All he does is snap his fingers. Super Sonic and Knuckles are shocked at what they see. Someone flies in through the doors on the right. It is Tails. Tails lands in front of Eggman. Super Sonic runs to him. He is actually glad to see Tails. In the blink of an eye, Tails quickly draws out a laser and shoots Super Sonic with it. Eggman laughs while clapping. Knuckles didn't advance because he knew something fishy was going on. Sonic is now back in his regular form. He looks up at Tails before collapsing. The last thing he said was why. The Chaos Emeralds have scattered. They are laying around Sonic in a circle. Knuckles runs to pick them up, but he is beat to them. Eggman forced them to him with a device he has. It enclosed the Chaos Emeralds in an electric trap. Knuckles undergoes some quick thinking. He grabs Sonic. He jumps out of the hole in the window. He glides towards the jet.
From the jet, they watch as Eggman unleashes his weapon. Since he now has all seven Chaos Emeralds. He powers on a machine. The bottom half of the moon splits into two pieces. A huge, black barrel appears when the pieces of the moon float off into the distance. It begins to light up. A huge surge of electricity runs down the barrel. A beam of light flies down. It crashes into the planet. Eggman is seriously joyful at the sight of this. The planet splits into eight parts. The core is clearly visible. The Chaos Emeralds splits into seven different colored lights. They fall back onto a different piece of the planet. Knuckles tells Amy to go back to the planet. Although the planet is blown to pieces, everything is still intact. The only difference is that the planet is now split. Knuckles carries Sonic to the sofa that's located in Tails workshop. Amy really hasn't stopped crying yet.
"I don't know what we can do now," Knuckles says with his head down. "Eggman must have control over Tails somehow. Tails shot Sonic with something and he collapsed. He looks like he is in a coma. He's still breathing."
"We have to do something," Cream says to Knuckles. "Maybe we can go back and try to save Tails?"
"Nope," Knuckles says. "Eggman had the Chaos Emeralds. They separated after Eggman used them. I could probably do something if I had them, but I don't."
Amy finally stops. She walks towards Knuckles. "How long do you think we have until Sonic recovers," Amy asks.
"I don't know," Knuckles says. He walks outside in order to clear his head. He starts thinking. The planet should be repaired first before going after Eggman again. Eggman actually thought that he killed Sonic, but he gave Tails the wrong gun by mistake. That is why Eggman was so proud when Sonic was shot. The feat of repairing the planet is nearly impossible without Sonic or Tails. Knuckles thinks that Eggman has Tails under some kind of mind control. Eggman actually does. It's all a part of his plan. The Chaos Emeralds have also scattered after Eggman used them. While Knuckles is walking around, he hears a noise. He looks behind him to notice Shadow standing there.
"What do you want," Knuckles asks. He is in a fighting stance. Shadow is frowning.
"I'm not here for a useless fight," Shadow says calmly. "I'm here for the smart one."
"Tails," Knuckles asks. "Why do you want him," he asked loudly.
"I want to get into space and destroy Eggman," Shadow says seriously. "He needs to be beaten after what he did to me."
"What did he do," Knuckles asks.
"I'm not telling you," Shadow screamed.
"Eggman captured Tails and put him under some mind control," Knuckles says sadly. "Sonic was caught of guard by this. Tails shot Sonic. Eggman used the Chaos Emeralds to blow up the planet. They have scattered since then. We have to find them if we want any hope of destroying the Eggman and Tails team."
"I guess it's no use," Shadow says. "I have to team up with you punks for now."
"You're right," Knuckles says. "We both have the same goal here."
Knuckles and Shadow walks back into the workshop. Shadow passes by Sonic. He looks at him then walks away. Shadow sits in a chair in the corner. Knuckles and Amy are currently coming up some sort of plan. They don't come up with one that actually works. Tails is really needed in this regard. They need someone else who is smart and fast. Besides, they will always have a pretty hard time if they can't make Tails' memory return. That's the main thing they need to do at the moment. They need to find out how to do that. Knuckles goes through Tails' boxes of inventions in order to hopefully come across something that could help out. He finds nothing that clearly labeled. Knuckles runs to Tails' bedroom. He goes through this for something. Knuckles looks under the bed. He pulls out a box. He opens it to find a picture. Knuckles then gets an idea. He runs downstairs back to Amy.
"I think I have an idea," Knuckles says. "Maybe a person he really care about could trigger his memory."
"What," Amy says. "Oh yeah. Like in movies and such, but she went away for a month back to her home planet. She left yesterday."
"Oh," Knuckles says. "So? We still need her and I'm sure she will be glad to help us save Tails. We're going to that planet."
Knuckles takes a step outside. He hears a jet. Knuckles runs out of the way. It lands right next to Tails' jet. Knuckles is confused. Amy runs outside to him. They stand behind this jet waiting for the person to come out. Cosmo comes out. She's crying. She runs to Amy then explains the situation.
"My planet has been destroyed," Cosmo says. Her voice is breaking.
"Eggman," Knuckles says. "He tried to nuke your planet so you wouldn't come back."
"It wasn't Eggman," Cosmo says. "It was, it was Tails! I saw him leaving the scene after he did it. Explain this before I go crazy."
"Eggman has Tails under some mind control," Amy says. "He even shot Sonic."
"Yep," Knuckles says. "We have to repair this planet then try to save Tails. We need your help. You could probably bring his memory back if he cares about enough. Will you help us?"
"Of course," Cosmo says.
"I knew it," Knuckles says. "We have to start looking for the Chaos Emeralds."
"I can make a radar," Cosmo says.
"Win," Knuckles says. "Tails 2.0"
They all laugh then head back into the workshop.
The Eggman and Tails team shall be unbeatable, that is unless a girl manages to break them apart. First Chaos Emerald shall be found in the next chapter.
