Title : D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation.

By : SonAmyFanBoyGadget

Setting : Still Future, or is it something else...

Alright, I've decided now – The prologue chapters are going to be short. Plus, thanks to the inspiring words of Aiko-Chan SoT, I've decided to be inspired by him and screw the editing. HAH! If I want them to be long, I could have combined them, but screw it. I've got college exams soon as well, but screw the exams. I'm rushing through these with Sonic Speed. If you want SonAmy development, skip the prologue chapters. Scroll to the chapter selection screen and merely start from there. (This message will persist until the real start is posted. Think of this as one of those RPG's with an awe-inspiring teammate in the beginning of the game.)

If you're wondering, italics means that the character is speaking in his mind / thinking. The reason Sonic isn't speaking to anyone else at the moment YET is because he's materially alone.

Chapter Title : Prologue Part 2 – "Huge Revolution"

"...You're asking ME for help? Fine, whatever."

Sonic the Hedgehog felt it. Everyone felt it. That 'bot that was trudging through the mud didn't look normal, and Sonic was surprised he didn't spot it before. Thought it was small, and Sonic was one who didn't like to look bad, but this time he didn't care, didn't openly address it, merely mutually spot it. He felt as if he couldn't destroy THIS one, which was strange because he had dismantled and assaulted many, but he felt something familiar, and felt reassurance from the Chaos Emerald Shard in his trench coat. He didn't feel thirty-three percent reassurance, he felt three-hundred percent.

Instead, Sonic sped past it, and as he hoped, the robot didn't tip off the alarm systems. The 'bot looked at the dust that collected from Sonic's speed, and just went on trudging through the entrance as it opened for it.

Of course, Sonic knew there had to be some sort of security at the entrance, and didn't care. He wasn't one to use discretion, and his enemy knew it. He had a feeling that his opponent's pride would allow him to merely leave the work to his robotic slaves and probably confront Sonic himself. His pride was merely a stepping stone for Sonic – Being spoiled has it's upsides – For him. The old Sonic would have enjoyed the extra 'bots to dismantle, but the current one would have thought them a nuisance.

Sonic was right. In another room, far away from his current location, a hulking figure overshadowed a two-tailed fox as he smirked. He had had many weeks to perfect the signal transmitter that would drive the former best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog mad with a simple tune. The formerly large human smirked as he hefted his new cybernetic body. He felt the artificial plasma and blood pump through his body, and it was simple work to attune them to mimic a spine and everything essential to move and control a body. His body couldn't malfunction either – It was perfectly in-sync with his mind, which was still housed within his artificial head. Humanity didn't matter to him anymore – There were no more humans, thanks to him. He made sure of it. But, he merely wanted to see the pain on the azure, tall hedgehog's face instead of a servant doing it. Besides, he knew that if he wanted to do something, it would be best if he had done it himself. Or, rather, someone close by to weaken him. He didn't care what would happen to the fox – He had something planned, especially if he died. He knew he was still material, and would seek his revenge even through death.

The other hedgehog was right, but his sworn enemy, whom had gone too far, didn't know that his hubris would be his downfall.

Truth to be told, Sonic didn't know where to go. But he had to. For his commitment and to save others. He can't die again, merely go into a spiritual body.

But it wasn't going to be easy, Sonic knew, as he darted enclosures that seemed to dot the facility. That's why he had a sneaking suspicion that this was way too easy, and that there must be a trap. Sonic knew he must carry out the wishes of his life, but he also wanted to use his body – His greatest tool, to save someone else, or to free him. Free him from the material world, or allow him to stay in the material world. His "little brother", as he treated him. Even his genius couldn't save him from pure maliciousness. Naiveté versus one of the darkest incarnations of human darkness.

"Tails really should have grown up, like me. I was too stupid, too naive ."

But, he still got overwhelmed, swamped by a huge wave of darkness. Sure, his enemy was cruel, after all, relentless in his domination, he had been too far.

"I bet he was gonna try to destroy the world now, not rule it. I have to kill him if this world is to be better, I know there are pockets of life somewhere. She's with me, though... She'll protect me... I'm protecting her as well..."

Sonic eventually realized something – There were signs. Signs leading to the inner-sanctum, and most of the 'bots were out of the way, in different hallways. That's why it was so easy! His mind screamed to him to turn back, that it was a trap, but he didn't care. He had a backup plan if he was captured. Tails had given it to him reluctantly, but he'd use it if he had to, for he didn't want his body to be used to hurt other people. He knew what his enemy could do with his DNA if given the chance. But still, Sonic mentally cursed himself – If his enemy was a genius, then he must have used suggestive psychology.

But still, the blue hero sped on, stealthily dodging the mindless patrolling 'bots. He wouldn't be stopped, and together, he would take down the doctor once and for all.

"I see it..."

"Don't worry, you'll be fine..."

"I know... Because you believe in me... I can't fail, either."

"Just try your best. I know you can do something."

"But what?"


"Just believe..."

"Okay."

Sonic, invigorated by the conversation in this forsaken base, sped on with a renewed effort, turning at the last corner to see a huge door that led to an underground cavern, he could smell the stale air. Someone needs to clean up their hygiene.

"I'm coming for ya, you fat ****."

Sonic spotted his target, and readied his punch-dagger. No time for a spindash, and the consequences of missing were great. What he wasn't prepared for was how much his opponent had changed. Now, he would have no problem killing a monster. He spotted a cloaked figure next to the giant hulk of metal, but didn't care. He spotted something grotesque next to a giant line of monitors he believed the hulk, but somehow he wasn't surprised when the giant hulk suddenly spun around, cybernetic eyes opened with a hunger and thirst for hedgehog soup.

"You've done my work for me, you insolent little rodent."

"Made you more ugly? Sorry, but I didn't know such a thing was possible. Oh, wait, what's that in front of me? Oh, right, that's just you."

"I know what you're here for, and I'm in no mood for games. I'm gonna dance you with. Can you match my new body?"

"What, DDR? Sorry, but you're too fat, inside. Besides, my high-score was, and still is, way higher than yours will ever be..."

The hedgehog apparently got back his attitude just for a moment, before becoming grim once again.

"Doesn't matter, Hedgehog. I've killed your love, and I've killed that stupid guardian. I even killed that 'Faker' as you called him, you should be happy! Now I get to kill you, then that fox is going to be my faithful servant... I just haven't called him out yet... We're going to purge the world of the filthy beings that inhabit this planet. We're the new generation, and you're outdated. You're expired."

"You're wrong. You've skipped the expire part, and went right into dead. You're dead right now..."

"You're dead just by coming here, hedgehog. You should have brought help, so that I can eliminate more of you. And what's that in your coat? The famous, natural, hedgehog is wearing clothes? I know what you have, and I want it back. Now. Give it to me and I just might let you go. If you beg, that is! Fwahahahahah!"

"You're wrong. I'm not alone. And what you're sensing is merely the rings I have collected."

"Don't lie to me, I can sense it. Oh, and that's right, you have little imaginary friends. I always thought you were funny in the head. Hah! You first."

"My pleasure, you rotten egg. I'm gonna make you taste worse than instant-egg mix!"

Just as they were about to charge at each other, an old "Friend" emerged from the wall, shattering it and causing a bit of the ceiling to crumble.

"STOP! I'm going to take him down! Not some fatass idiot who can't even insult correctly or beat a mere rodent in DDR!"

Sonic and Robotnik, were both surprised to see an enraged Metal Sonic, with newly a new coat of paint and continuous crimson-red eyes, ready his metallic claws and and enraged demeanor, charge at Robotnik in blind fury and pride. That is, if you can call it pride.

"What? He-He cheated, that's why. It doesn't matter, I was planning on using him as my backup plan, but emerge, Mecha Sonic MKIII!"

Robotnik's giant arm gestured to a hidden door, which emerged to show an old model based on the one Sonic and Knuckles individually both defeated – Mecha Sonic Mark II, but larger, outfitted with more weapons, and overall more deadly then before, but still had the glaring weakness of the lack of speed he had and the overall bulkiness, and it's eyes... It lacked the pure-red that Metal had, and merely had a dull-brown, loyal look instilled within it. It merely used it's jet-boosters to dash right next to the metallic doctor, silently calculating the stats of success. It didn't tell his master, but it read "90%" against Metal Sonic. It didn't need to.

"My newest creation... Metal, you're fired."

"I'll tear that inferior doppelganger apart! Nothing will stop me from my REVENGE!"

"Come on, Eggface, let me take him on!"

"No. You're dealing with me. I want to personally finish you off... Since you have a zero percent chance of winning! Wahahahahahah!"

Sonic wondered if the rogue bot was Metal, but he certainly wasn't sure. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, for some reason...

"I am currently upgraded with the newest firmware." The bulkier Sonic droned on. "It is time for you to retire."

"This is a waste of time... But with one crazed doctor that's not even human anymore, one rogue, berserk metallic version of me, one rebuilt version of me that I could probably defeat, and one strange, cloaked figure... I've got to treat lightly... Please, give me strength..."

Sonic could feel power emanating from his shard, and he was glad he had his stockpile of rings. Something told him he'd need it, and he needed to watch out for the crossfire that would ensue. But, he wondered, who was that cloaked figure – He didn't move, he didn't flinch, but he could feel sorrow from the figure. He could have sworn he saw a warm color swish briefly... But convinced himself that was impossible, as the figure was disguised one hundred percent.

"Go on, Sonic. If you need help... I'm here for you. In fact... Just wait a bit longer..."


Flashback

"Strange, I've never died before... I didn't expect him to be THIS powerful."


"No, I think someone's betrayed us... But who!?"

"I don't know, but you really should just move on. I'm going to be forgotten... Heh... But at least I tried."

"No, you won't."

"Finish me off. Now."

END OF PROLOGUE PART TWO : "HUGE REVOLUTION"

A/N : The chapter title, "Huge Revolution", is a card that destroys all of your opponents cards, hand and field. Gives them no options, all you need are 3 specific weak cards. Basically, it refers to striking back when you're down, or even weak people may be strong when united. What's going to be united? Simple – I chose that as the preview... Heh... Credits to FlameDragon2 from gamefaqs. I should have picked a better card for the title, maybe Tactical Espionage Expert or something... Major, MAJOR credit to Cornwallace for making stuff good, and thanks Unlimitedthefinal for the review! That perked me right up! And Aiko-Chan SoT for the awesome review and inspiring me to screw the editing. I take about 2-3 months to edit, anyways.

Dedicating this section to Dissidia – Final Fantasy since that's such an awesome game. And remember kids, too much love can be destructive, which is why Sonic acts the way he does in the games – It's to balance things out should someone pursue the couple, which was a great move by the game dev's. Next chapter will make up for this one, so look out!
