Colliding Futures
Prolog: Marty, a son of one of the freedom fighters was once assigned on an important and risky mission, to change the past but in succeeding the future was changed.
Because of this time had to save itself, it did this by separating each future, the one that Marty grew up in and the one that he created.
Future 1: This future was before Marty had changed it, a vile unhappy world where Blake finally succeeds in total dominance, hope is only kept alive by the freedom fighters:
Sonic: The leader of the freedom fighters, and plan master, he was put in charge because no matter what the enemy tried he could not be caught, his speed gave him not only an advantage over the enemy but allowed him to find bases and other areas of operations with only a blue streak being seen.
Rex: Who was once on the enemy's side but turned after marrying "Jewels" finally, he is the hand-to-hand combat expert and is mainly in charge of training newcomers.
Flame: The head of sector V, a big sector in the freedom fighter's base of operations. He is one of the strongest leaders and is in charge of big missions, mostly search and rescue.
Knuckles: After loosing the task of guardian of the Master Emerald he used his time mostly on distractions for the freedom fighters, many of the freedom fighters think him to be very eccentric after loosing his task, after what happened to the Master Emerald he did gain a big chip on his shoulder, even so he continues to fight against Blake.
Eggman: Tactical genus and head of the defense unit, forced to fight alongside his worst enemies, he plans on double-crossing them when the war is over but as of now he works with Sonic and the others against Blake's reign.
Marty: Rex's son and fellow freedom fighter, despite is age he was assigned on a mission to change the past, so that Blake would never gain control.
Blake in this future is very distant from everything, most consider him mad, he lost his mind to his selfish lust for power and since then he's tried taking out every person on the planet, Tai was forced to work under him and Spike also lost himself, fighting needlessly for control he could never have do to his father's rule as well as spending his days trying to avoid being spotted by Blake's troops.
Also Shadow the hedgehog joined up with Blake, nobody knows why but they assume Blake made him a promise he never intends on keeping.
Future 2: The changed future, Blake was taken and sealed in suspended animation to never return, while Trixie and Ken were reunited at last and were married soon afterwards.
Power and Spike gave up on their past goal and decided it was wrong to make others suffer for their own gain, and Tai dedicated his life to making sure Blake can never escape again, ever watching where he was sealed.
However in this future there is still a presence looming over them, Anna was never truly silenced and still proved a threat to them, as well as Doctor Eggman now seeing the opportunity to grow stronger with his own empire, and Shadow the hedgehog's helping him and with his abilities it makes the threat twice as imminent.
These two futures have been separated from each other, put in separate dimensions to avoid time imploding on itself, but what happens when each, have to combine with each other? And is there a way of reversing the effect?
Chapter 1: Future 1
A loud breath and a quick paced heart beat, the tension was unbearable.
Sonic the hedgehog ran by quickly looking back to see the approaching robots. "How do they keep finding me?"
The hallway was dark with little lighting other then the swinging light bulb, his blue streak reflected against the metal polished walls.
His eyes ever focused with determination overridden in his step.
He smashed through the wall in his way; metal flying like a rock had run through glass, his quills moved up and down among the wind of the outside area.
Sonic the hedgehog's attackers started to get further away and started to get out of focus from eyesight, his speed immediately took him out of danger's way.
Despite being able to outrun the robots he would rather have faced them; but his mission did not need publicity.
The robots were shaped differently, almost like hedgehogs but without the quills and with black and red markings on them.
Anyway it didn't matter now, they were long behind him.
In his hand was a glowing gold ring, he smirked.
"Knew one of these babies were hidden in there." Sonic thought. "If these do what they're supposed to, the freedom fighters will have a new trick up their sleeve."
The gold ring sparkled feeling almost like a chaos emerald but not as powerful, Sonic felt adrenaline whenever holding one.
The hedgehog continued on his way leaving the blue blurred image across the barren land, the faster he ran the harder it was to see him.
He stopped quickly a few moments later, keeping the ring in his hand and was searching for something.
Out popped the figure of a hedgehog, her eyes glittered seeing Sonic there.
"SONIC!!" she shouted in anticipation.
Sonic looked at her as if he'd seen a ghost. "Amy?"
The girl immediately grabbed Sonic's hands dancing with happiness until Sonic calmed her down.
"Amy how did you get out?" Sonic questioned with a half smile, looking pleased to see her.
Amy suddenly looked annoyed, she ruffled her red dress. "Sonic why didn't you break me out!"
Sonic screeched from her angry response and stammered a little. "Errr I-I would have Amy but I didn't know where they were keeping you."
Amy rolled her eyes. "Well I got out all the same, did you miss me?"
Sonic shrugged. "Yeah, sure Amy."
Amy smiled. "You won't believe how I got out."
The pink hedgehog changed her direction pointing somebody out, a red echidna stood leaned against the side of a tree.
"Knuckles?" Sonic said with a surprised sound to his voice.
The echidna snorted. "What about it?"
"You actually broke Amy out of the nut house?" Sonic said.
"I'm not really crazy Sonic! They locked me away because I insisted you existed! That empire wants to be sure nobody knows about you." Amy said bluntly. "So in a way, I got in there because of you."
Sonic laughed nervously. "Yeah heh, funny how things turn out."
Knuckles smiled with his eyes closed and turned on his way; he looked back one time waving his hand. "Later."
"Soooooo, Sonic what's been happening without me?" Amy asked with an interested expression. "Are the freedom fighters still having trouble finding Blake's bases?"
Sonic shushed her. "Don't mention the freedom fighters Amy, not out in the open." Sonic said. "We'll talk when we get there."
Sonic backed up ready to run, Amy stood in the way. "Sonic with the way you run it'd take me weeks to find you again."
Sonic chuckled. "Ok Amy, hold on."
The hedgehog grabbed her wrist sweeping her away with a whisk of blue lightning.
Sonic's gold power ring glowing brightly in his other hand.
