Part 2: Fate is briefly interrupted…
Dr. Oliver Eggman was pleased as he revealed one of his greatest creations. "Behold, the very first Sonic Bikes!" he said as he showed three speeder bike type hover vehicles.
"This is it?" Bocoe said.
"This is what years of research has gone into? Three stylish hover bikes?" Decoe said.
"Who cares, they look fun." Bokkun said.
"I'll have you three know that these are the only vehicles I've made that can go as fast as Sonic! Not only that, but when used in a chase they can adjust to his exact speeds so they don't overshoot him or get to slow!" Dr. Oliver Eggman said.
"Are we going to use these in your planned assault on the Neo Death Egg as we're calling it?" Decoe asked.
"Yes I am. And I'm having you three come with me, because my Egg Bosses are busy with their own missions and bases." Dr. Oliver Eggman said as he was about to get on one.
"I'm sorry to say this… But we won't assist you with such limited details of information." Bocoe said.
"What?!" Dr. Oliver Eggman said.
"He's right. If we're going to risk ourselves, we want to know more on certain things. Like this talk of Order and Chaos that Julian was notorious for talking about. In his attempts to ruling the world!" Decoe said.
Dr. Oliver Eggman almost growled, in anger but he withheld it in order to take a moment to think back to a long while ago. "This is a very old chapter of my life. One which predates you three and all of my modern creations by almost thirty years." Dr. Oliver Eggman said, as he sat down in a chair that he summoned by pressing a button on his uniform. "Long before I went in pursuit of medical knowledge with Dr. Li-Valentine. I was an archeological genius and scientist for G.U.N back in my pre-planned empire days. My very first mentor was Professor Gazebo Boobowski, a Manx who lived on an island with his wife." Dr. Oliver Eggman said.
"Wait… Is this the same Prof. Boobowski who we've off and on encountered over the years?" Bocoe asked.
"Such as the time his daughter helped Green rescue all of the Flicky birds on Flicky Island from you." Decoe asked.
"Yes… You see back in those days I was interested in the four great civilizations. Almost nothing could be found on exactly who or what the First Great Civilization is or was. The Murasians were believed to be the First Great Civilization… But there's nothing to confirm or deny that. Gazebo and I studied on the trolls of the Second Great Civilization, and among our greatest finds was the body of Walter Naugus the legendary troll warlock slash wizard who gained control over a powerful thrall body made from three Order of Ixis wizards. Naugus' body was dormant, and needless to say when I learned that Ixis Naugus was in fact the thrall body for Walter Naugus, I was amazed to find where the soul of the dormant troll warlock was for so many long years." Dr. Oliver Eggman explained, as he was thinking of when he found the last stronghold of the Naugus family of trolls.
"Talk about a confusing truth and turn of events." Decoe said.
"No less confusing, than what has happened with the whole Julian Robotnik fiasco that we've been dealing with for well over a year. And the whole Robo-Robotnik mk II into Neo Dr. Eggman mess…" Bocoe said, as he reminded Decoe of another confusing turn of events.
"Indeed. And I'm personally unsure if Walter is the only troll left on Mobius… Anyway the Third Great Civilization is believed to have been the Babylonians who as we all know are unusual birds such as the Babylon Rogues and the Battle Bird Armada. And the Fourth Great Civilization was the echidnas, until Chaos practically destroyed them. We noticed that there was about three things in common with all of the civilizations. I discovered that all of them were for some reason or another dethroned from power after reaching the height of their might. Gazebo found out that all of them had some kind of strong affinity and use of the Chaos Emeralds. And he hypnotized that what gave them their might apart from the Chaos Emeralds… Was the Order Rings!" Dr. Oliver Eggman said, with deep gravity in his tone.
"The Order Rings?" his lackeys all said.
"Yes the Order Rings. These seven Rings were the very essence of Order much like how the Chaos Emeralds are in a way the essence of Chaos. These Rings unlike the Chaos Emeralds, can grant great visions, wisdom and insight from merely touching them. I by chance found the Red Order Ring, and when I touched it, I met Order himself. He told me that I was destined for greatness and I would make the world a better place and that I was not only his true champion but also his spiritual son. That all aside… This is part of what drove me into joining G.U.N until I became a veterinarian in most of the Great War, only to become what I am now almost seven years ago." Dr. Oliver Eggman explained.
"Whoa!" Decoe said.
"So this Order is like Chaos, only he made you his champion and you….. This is why you've been after the Rings and other mythical and legendary artifacts!" Bocoe said.
"You didn't honestly think that I've had such a huge interest in Rings because of nothing, did you?" Dr. Oliver Eggman said with a smug grin.
"Alright boss. Let's get going then. The universe won't save itself!" the doctor's lackeys all said at once.
And soon, the four villains all got on the Sonic Bikes. They then launched from the hanger bays, and went off as fast as Sonic for the Northern Tundra. Decoe and Bocoe both had to ride on a Sonic Bike, with Decoe holding on to Bocoe as he drove the hover bike. Bokkun had a blast on his own Sonic Bike and Dr. Oliver Eggman had a look of determination on his face as he wore his goggles while piloting his Sonic Bike which was naturally in the lead of the team. "Ahahahahahaha! I surely know how to make grand bikes!" Dr. Oliver Eggman said as he enjoyed piloting.
"That's easy for you to say doctor! These things frighten me!" Bocoe said.
"Me too! What's to keep us from getting cloth lined, or crash into a tree?! Especially with so many distractions!" Decoe cried out, as he held on to Bocoe for his dear robotic life. The two robots were simply not use to such fast speeds.
"Hahahahaha! You two are just scared bots!" Bokkun said as he had fun piloting his Sonic Bike, he was holding on as his legs flew in the air.
"Lucky for you I set your Sonic Bikes on a course which my Egg Net is using to keep you all safe and unharmed. I'm going freestyle as I lead us into victory, haha!" Dr. Oliver Eggman said, as he led the team toward the Neo Death Egg, which was only hours away at this pace.
3235 September 7th
Meanwhile in the skies of Artika
Agent Topaz and her temporary partner were in special landing pods, which would be launched when they arrived within range for their mission to rescue Snively. Within the hour they were dropped and began to head for the location where the Death Egg was going to land very soon. They would sneak in without anyone noticing. "I have to say, I'm glad to work with you again Topaz." Topaz's partner said.
"Indeed, and it's good to see you haven't changed much since you joined the C.L.I.P division of G.U.N, Agent Madonna Garnet." Topaz said with a grin, as they rushed across the snow in their special mission gear.
"I admit that I miss being in the field, especially alongside you. I'm glad that you didn't get left behind in Station Square. During that whole mess with the dimensions." Garnet said.
Topaz kept her mind focused on the mission. But she and Garnet used their comms to chatter as they ran across the snow. "According to some declassified files, you actually met Sonic long ago. Is that true?" Topaz asked her fellow agent.
"Yeah. Many years back, Sonic was very close to United Federation territory on one of his adventures. And with the rumors of a madman in the Overland calling himself Dr. Robotnik being just rumors back in those days, it was my duty to discover the identity of the hedgehog with unusual speed that one would expect from a Mobian Cheetah. And to learn the identity of Dr. Robotnik, and find out if he actually was a Robotnik. When we first met, I played the damsel in distress act when Robotnik kidnapped me while I was on a mission to find out more on him. Sonic came in and saved me from one of Robotnik's deathtraps, and needless to say I was impressed with Sonic's skills and his earnest nature. He assumed I was an Overlander, and I had to claim I was among the last of the Overlanders that escaped Robotnik's wrath. I eventually returned back to the United Federation, and handed in my full report. But because of that corrupted man we had leading the council at the time, we didn't do anything about Robotnik and the official records didn't make him seem like a viable threat to G.U.N or the United Federation." Garnet explained, as she and Topaz were almost within range of the Egg Totem.
"Wow… I didn't know that. You actually met the Original Robotnik, and got saved by Sonic way back in the day. I'm amazed that you played a perfect damsel in distress act." Topaz said.
"Comes from years of practice, and learning how to lie and when someone is lying. I don't like lying, but the mission calls for it more often than not." Garnet said, as they arrived within range of the Egg Totem.
"This is where the Death Egg will landed within minutes. We'd better get ready." Topaz said, as she and Garnet got ready to take action.
Soon the Death Egg landed, and the G.U.N agents were able to sneak on to the battle station. Within the hour after the Death Egg landed, Dr. Oliver Eggman and his team arrived, and were able to sneak on to the Death Egg. Team Fighters and the Northern Tundra Freedom Fighters ran into Silver the Hedgehog while this was going on, and Neo Dr. Eggman along with his lackeys Orbot and Cubot were getting ready for the diabolical mission that Neo Dr. Eggman had in store for everyone and everything! Green and Nicolas were able to arrive and infiltrated the Death Egg. They were able to sneak past the defenses and were a few floors down from the control room of the Death Egg aka Neo Death Egg.
"We're almost there Nicolas. Soon we'll stop Julian, and end his insane and senseless reign of terror upon our world once and for all. If Sonic messes up, then we shall do the final deed." Green said, as the two were close.
Nicolas had a very concerned look on his face, and he knew that right about now Silver was explaining himself to Sonic and his allies when he arrived to help. Nicolas stopped and knew that now was the only time he could reveal some knowledge he held. "Green… Are you aware of how many times that reality and the time line have been changed and reset?" he asked.
"I have a general idea. Considering that I've changed it many times at different points in time. I have a feeling you need to tell me a few things." Green said, as he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at his friend.
"Well… During that time we've kept logs. Even though in this time line I've come to exist about fifteen years ago give or take…. Back in your second life, you suspected some alterations could and would happen to our reality. And that is true. The first major time was when Solaris was corrupted and split into Iblis and Mephiles the Dark, after a major paradox happened Solaris became normal again. But the leftovers of the two corruptions escaped… What's more… I can tell you that until two factors came into the picture that time has gone as it normally has." Nicolas said.
"I'm a little confused. But I for sure remember Solaris, and about that whole debacle that happened with Iblis and Mephiles the Dark. That scenario was one heck of a paradox, and I'm sure that soon we'll find the records on that very original timeline. But what are these factors you're talking about?" Green asked his friend.
"Silver and Thrash. In all other timelines that have happened the two never came this close. They always messed up… But corruption and purity found ways to make these two game changers really change things. For starters Thrash finally got his revenge, and with practically only a family of echidnas left in the world. The dark forces are nearing what they want… Which is to remove everyone except Knuckles and Tikal of the echidna people… Only the others help keep the desires of those dark forces from interfering. You and no doubt anyone else hearing this may not understand right now… But in time it'll be clear." Nicolas said.
"And what of Silver?" Green asked.
"Silver… Is a bit of a paradox himself. As a result of the constant changes he has become unaffected by them, with the only exception being the reset of the original timeline. His memories were altered along with everyone else's because of the nature of the paradox, and how involved he was in it. In a possible distant future which will hopefully be gone when this is over. Silver was practically raised by our ancient enemy Mammoth Mogul, Mogul trained him for good in order to make amends for his transgressions in the past. Silver didn't know anything about Mogul's past until recently, and though he questions his master now… He realizes that Mecha Sally is the traitor he's been after." Nicolas said, he seemed like he was having trouble trying to explain this knowledge.
"So you've archived tons of information… And to think Sally in his future actually… Actually…" Green said as he almost cried.
"Yes… And in all other timelines after the reset of the original timeline, the Genesis Wave went off only once. But now… With these game changers… A second wave will happen, and the long awaited Time of Miracles will come in the aftermath of it all. Only question is… Will you be able to brave challenges…? Even if they practically never happened? And at the end what path will you choose at the end of the path? Especially with so many people you love in this old world." Nicolas said, as he was curious if he was going rampant.
"I'll do what I can to brave whatever comes next. I've explored pretty much everywhere except space and the oceans within this lifetime. I'll be ready." Green said, but then he wondered. "You've acquired the knowledge of other versions of yourself. And soon you'll have to give up a lot of that knowledge when this is over… Right?" Green asked.
"That's right… And Ixis Naugus has messed with the bones of your old friend Ixis Vale." Nicolas said.
"I have a feeling that soon we'll meet Tiara and her father Professor Gazebo Boobowski again once this is over. And by my friend Ixis Vale… No Vale the Crow, I shall make sure that the Order of Ixis is finally ended. And… You know about your connection with Dr. Ellidy?" Green said.
"Yes… Father was always good….. And I'm sorry….. Chaos told me that you needed to have a final if confusing chat before we go into battle again." Nicolas said.
"I understand. I don't know why….. But I think that the Genesis Wave will hit us by the time we enter the control room.
And Green was right. After his confusing chat with Nicolas ended, the two stormed the control room. Only to find it empty and a white doorway open. They attempted to jump for it. But only Nicolas made it through, and everything else was caught up in the Second Genesis Wave…
To be concluded in… When Worlds Collide!
