The Fall of Robotnik: Chapter 1
Hello everybody this is my first fanfic so don't be surprised if it's bad. Anyway All character's are owned by their respective companies, yadda yadda. Any way lets get this fanfic on the road.
(Present)
I was happy to be going back, even if it was just to see how every one was doing. I reached up to over the hill and looked over at the place where I had spent most of my life. I was shocked as I looked over the horizon. I slumped to my knees and put my face in my hands. I couldn't believe it. My home was burning right in front of my eyes, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
(a few monthes ago...)
During one of Robotniks' searches to find Knotthole, his sniper bot had picked up a heat signature. It belonged to a certain coyote. He was walking around and was jumped by the bot, he was quick to give in as long as he wasn't hurt. Robotnik had finally found Knotthole and paid the local traitor, Antoine, to 'accidentally' destroy our water suppley. I knew that he did it on purpose, yet everyone else didn't seem to see his true intentions. After a month or two, people started demanding water, Princess Sally couldn't keep up with the demands and got voted down as leader. They promoted the little cheeky bastard, Antoine, as our new leader. He made promises of huge chage and victory. What a load of shit. I didn't care even if he wasn't a traitor, which he was. I never liked the guy. He always hit me as, in a since, 'off '.
As soon as our first mission with him as the leader, things started getting from bad to worse. Bunny got her right leg ripped off while attacking a patrol with him, one of Tails' hands was smashed by a hammerbot gathering food, and I nearly lost every one of my quills on my head in a raid. I knew that it wouldn't happen if someone else, even if they were inexperienced, they wouldn't have made most of the mistakes he made. The last straw was when he was holding a pistol right to Robotnik's head, and he bounced the bullet of the ground and hit the camera. I knew that he was a traitor, but no one listened. They all said that I was mad because it wasn't me that was picked, or that it was just jealosy. I had had it with this people.
If they wouldn't at least listen to me, then there one option left. Leave.
"Come on Sonic, don't leave us," Tails pleaded as I started to walk out of the forest.
"I have to do this Tails otherwise they won't see Antoine for what he is," I replied.
"But do you have to leave?"
"This is the only way."
"I'll come with you then."
"No they need you here Tails. Rotor won't admit it ,but you're the best engineer here."
"But I want to go you."
"Don't worry little bro. I'll be back as soon as they come to their senses."
"Fine but visit, kay?"
"Tails, I'll only be gone for a little bit."
With that I rufled the top of his hair and started running towards the west.
(Present...)
I saw my home getting burned to the ground by badnik's. There were screams coming from inside the forest. I sat motionless as I watched the carnage. I knew no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't go in guns blazing. I tried to calm myself as I watched from afar. On the edge of the forest I saw everybody from Knotthole being herded towards Robotropilis. Antoine was standing behind them with a smuge look on his face laughing as he shocked Rotor with a cattle prod. My anger boiled a bit higher as I continued to watch. All of the girls were in a seprate group. Sally was holding a little girl that was crying her eyes out. With every passing moment my anger reached unknown heights.
That's when I noticed that Tail's wasn't in any of the groups. I looked for him everywhere but didn't find him.I then noticed that there was still fighting in Knotthole. I rushed over to the secret entrance and looked around for any activity. I dropped though the entrance and quickly rushed out into the street. I walked through the streets of Knotthole until I heard gun fire. I walked slowly in that direction and peered around a corner. What I saw next would push my anger over the limit.
I saw some of the quards of our camp fight along side Tails holding off as many robots as they could. More badnik's swarmed every person that was resisting. I saw one guard get gun downed by a group of badnik's from the side. Every quard was going down fast, until the only one left was Tails. He had held his own until a badnik shot him in the arm. He took out the every badnik in the group of the one that shot him, he failed to reliese that one was still functioning and had shot him in the leg. He finally was worn down and fell to the ground. The badnik's walked over to him and put its foot on his back, raising its gun to his head.
(Tails' POV)
I knew I was beat so I simply crippled with exhaustion. Either way the badnik's have won. And all thank's to that jerk, Antoine. I felt the cold metal foot meet my back and heard the rotating mechanism turn on its turret arm. I closed my eyes waiting for my head to splatter on the street. The there was the loud *POP* I clinched the ground around me only to notice I wasn't dead. I turned on my back to see the trade mark, Spindash, ripping the robot apart. and ball unrolled itself to a grusome sight. It was Sonic, but something was very wrong.
His cobalt fur had gone black and his hair was pointed upwards. The strange Sonic turned to me. I gasped as I saw his eyes were complety white. He turned back and held up his hand. In less than a second, every single robot that was on the street was disentrageted. The weird Sonic hovered in the air and headed towards the direction the prison transport was heading. That mean he was actually heading toward... Oh no...
(Sonic's POV)
This power was AMAZING. I had destroyed nealy every robot that were still in Knotthole, and which such ease. I was now heading toward my main goal, the prison transport. I was going to rescue all the prisoners and make Robotnik pay. I had spotted the caravan and smiled to myself, 'Robotnik won't see this coming'. I emidately destroyed a robot just to scare them. After that I took out a robot one after another without them seeing me. Right now Antoine was cowering there probably pissing himself. I relished in the notion he was scared. Now it was the fun part...
(Sally's POV)
"Shuuuussssshhh, shuuusssh. It will be alright, you'll see you're mom and dad again don't you worry."
"But *sniff* I wunna go home."
"We'll be home shortly."
"Why does the meany do this?"
"Well hes..." I couldn't finish what I was about to say as the bot beside us exploded.
Everyone stopped where they were and watched as all the bots just seemed to randomly explode. Antoine seemed very frightened at this. That's when a familiar figure started walking towards us. We all started cheering for Sonic. That was until he came into light. We all gasped to see that this was not the same hedgehog. His blue hue was replaced with a black coat, and his emerald eyes had turned completely white.
The new Sonic looked at us and laughed, " It's alright it's still me. I can see your confused and wondering how this happened. Truth is I don't even know." He said with a wide smirk.
Antoine took the chance to shoot at him. The first shot hit him in the head. Everybody started crying, until they say that the bullet didn't even penetrate his skin.
"W-What," He fired some more rounds," Are," Fired off everything in his clip," You."
"I'm the one that's gonna kill Robotnik and kill you." He lifted his finger towards Antoine. He obviously cowered out and tried to run. Sonic looked at his wrist, tapped his foot and yawned. After Antoine was at least a half a mile away , Sonic dissapeared and punched Antoine in the stomach, knocking him out. He looked over at us and raised his hand. Instantly every chain or rope on us was disentegrated. We all looked at him as he motioned us to go.
Before he could run off, I ran towards him yelling his name. He turned and looked at me solemly.
"Sonic. Listen what are you going to do now that you freed us?"
"Well since you ask, I'm gonna destroy Robotroplolis and free everyone from Robotnik."
"What are you going to do to him though?"
"I'm going to make him wish he was never born."
"Is that what you really want?"
"Actually, I would love to have some chilli dogs right about now. But revenge will have to do for now."
"I can see your still you even though you're...," I motioned all over his body," Now this."
"I can tell that you want me to explain why i'm like this. Like I said, I don't even know. I remeber getting angry at Antoine at how he was treating you. Then I saw Tails getting ready to be shot. Guess I just snapped."
He hovered in the air slowly. I grabbed his hand and shook my head.
"Sally, I need to do this. We don't have another chance like this. I can finally end it all."
"Yes, you could. But for all we know, you could die if your stay in that form, or even like your being shot at and you go back to normal, o-or even..."
Sonic looked at me and put his finger on my lips. I imediatly went silent as he went in for a kiss. I was stunned, to say the least. Sonic usually never showed any feelings toward me, yet here he was kissing me out in the open. I pushed him away after a nearly a minute of blissful kissing.
"Sally... I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. Even if that means if that means missing our chance at retribution."
"Sonic. I don't want Robotnik to live anymore. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"It's alright Sally. I won't get hurt. I mean what could, you saw me back there."
"And that''s what scares me the most."
"Sally I promise I won't let this power go to my head."
"Fine. Just make it back in one peice. Okay?"
"I will," With that Sonic hovered back into the air and headed toward Robotropilis. I looked towards the ground and closed my eyes.
If there is a God out there... Please let Sonic come back to me in one peice.
