Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
5th Saga: The Flashforward Saga

Outside a ruined city with a large hole in the center, two Mobian echidnas were staring down at the city. One was a red echidna with a left cybernetic eye, and was wearing a cowboy hat, a black suit under a brown jacket and brown boots. The other echidna was pink, and had a lot of her hair tied-up. She was wearing a blue shirt, black shorts and black shoes.
"Robotropolis..." Said the red echidna. "The last place on Mobius that has any technology from the Eggman Empire."
"Then I guess we know what we have to do..." Said the pink echidna, but the red echidna seemed to be looking up at the sky...
"(A lot has changed in my life since Sonic defeated Eggman...)" He thought. "(With Eggman gone, the Chaotix agreed to disband... Julie-Su and I had our wonderful daughter Lara-Su, who I raised as best I could... and since I let Miles install his security system around the Master Emerald on Angel Island, Julie-Su & I have been travelling Mobius in an attempt to rid the planet of what's left of Eggman's technology... as for Lara-Su...)" Before the red echidna could finish his thought, a Chatter Ring suddenly appeared in front of them. Inside the Ring was Lara-Su.

"Hi Mom, hi Dad!" She said to them.
"Hello, Lara-Su." Said Julie-Su, while Knuckles just waved at his daughter with a happy look on his face.
"How goes the robot destruction?" Asked Lara-Su.
"We're just about to take down what's left of Robotropolis." Knuckles told her.
"What about the charity race?" Asked Julie-Su.
"I'm keeping my eyes on King Sonic, who's winning!" Lara-Su replied, making Knuckles scoff.
"As always..." He muttered.
"Well sweetie, we'd better get go-" Before Julie-Su could finish, she and Knuckles heard some metallic whirring and clanging... and it sounded like it was getting closer!
"Mom, Dad, what is-" The signal seemed to cut off before a silouette of an egg-shaped head appeared.
"What?! Is that..." Asked Julie-Su.
"What is it, 'Su?" Added Knuckles, who noticed his partner looking freaked out.
"*bzz* Bow down before the might of Robotnik! *bzz*" Said the silouette. Before Knuckles or Julie-Su could respond, they were both hit by an energy blast that knocked them out cold! "*bzz* Excellent work, my Swatbots. Now bring the echidnas to me... *bzz*"
"AT ONCE, LORD ROBOTNIK." The Swatbots replied, before carrying Knuckles and Julie-Su down into the hole.

Episode 107 - Chapter Two: A Guardian's Path

After the Chatter Ring seemed to be disabled, Lara-Su sensed danger, making her gasp and stop following King Sonic.
"Mom... Dad..." She said, before another Chatter Ring appeared before her. Within the Ring was TodStar. "Master... you sensed it, too?"
"Yeah." TodStar replied. "Something is very wrong... just fulfill your duty, and protect the King. I'll see what I can find."
"Be careful, Master."
"You too, Lara-Su." Once the Chatter Ring disappeared, Lara-Su attempted to glide after Sonic.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Jet were exchanging the lead, and leaving everyone else behind them!
"C'mon Jet, you can do better than this!" Teased Sonic.
"Hah! I'm just getting warmed up!" Jet replied as he and Sonic zoomed through the empty streets of Mobotropolis at high speed. It was this point that the orange hedgehog attempted to contact somebody...
"Lord Robotnik, I'm ready..." He said.
"Very well, Nameless..." Robotnik replied via radio. "Wait for my signal..."
"Yes, my lord." After the transmission was cut, Nameless started to pick up speed in order to chase after Sonic & Jet.

At that moment, both Knuckles and Julie-Su awakened to find themselves tied-up in a dark chamber, which had two broken relics in front of them; One was a rod that seemed familiar to Knuckles, and shards of a black jewel of some sort...
"What the? Where are we?" Knuckles asked, before hearing breathy laughter. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Ahh, Knuckles... it's been a long time..." Said the voice. "...and like the first time we met, you're going to help me..."
"What? What're you talking about? Who are you?" Knuckles replied.
"Knuckles would never want to help you conquer Mobius, whoever you are!" Added Julie-Su.
"*breathy laughter* We'll see about that... once I give Knuckles another taste of darkness!" The voice replied, before dark auras started to emerge from the relics, making Knuckles remember something horrible... Suddenly, the darkness made its way towards Knuckles, making him move around in pain!
"Knuckles!" Cried Julie-Su.
"No! N-not again! NO! I have to rid Mobius of Eggman's technology!" Knuckles screamed as the darkness started to flow over his entire body. Before Julie-Su could cry out for her partner again, she suddenly felt like faint, as an orb of light was being extracted from her chest! Before long, Julie-Su's eyes became blank as the orb was completely pulled out of her, and the darkness around Knuckles vanished, giving him a new look: Gold armor (including a helmet), gold attachments to his dreadlocks, and the spikes on the back of his hands were replaced with large gold claws. "I must allow Mobius to begin anew."

"*breathy laughter* Excellent. Excellent!" Exclaimed Robotnik as he put his hand on Knuckles' shoulder. "Now with your power, Mobius will be mine in a matter of DAYS!" Before he could gloat anymore, Knuckles extracted an orb from Robotnik, aswell!
"I beg to differ, Robotnik..." Knuckles replied as he stared at the orbs he had collected. Suddenly, Swatbots arrived to his location, as Knuckles threw the pink orb up in the air before it struck the ground in front of him. Emerging from the dust was a metal Mobian that resembled Julie-Su 30 years ago, except her body was completely grey, had a number of pink stripes around her, and her eyes were pink, aswell. "With the Cores I extract from Mobians, I, Enerjak, shall create a new Mobius, with my Prelates at my command! Are you all with me?" Every single Swatbot in the room bowed down before Knuckles.
"HAIL ENERJAK." They all stated.
"Then it is time to purge Mobius with fire..." Said Knuckles, as a small ship filled with Swatbots appeared below Mobotropolis. Mere seconds later, the Swatbots began firing the ship's cannon above them, aswell as their own lasers, giving Mobotropolis craters, and the racers a little trouble. It was also at this moment that Nameless' cybernetic eye glowed red for a brief period.
"Hail Enerjak!" He shouted before swinging his cybernetic arm into a building, causing it to fall down on the road behind him, and giving a few other racers some injuries. "And guess what? The hawk and hedgehog are next!" When Sonic crossed the finish line just before Jet, he celebrated while Jet stomped on his board. They both stopped however, when they looked up at the disaster onscreen, and they both looked horrified.
"Oh, man..." Exclaimed Jet.
"Who on Mobius could've done this?" Sonic asked, before a Chatter Ring appeared before him.
"Worry about that later, Sonic." Said Sally from the Chatter Ring. "There's something attacking the bottom of Mobotropolis. If they keep it up, our city is going to fall down on top of the Great Forest!"
"I'm on my way!" Sonic replied as he flew away from Jet on his board. "Tell the royal guard to meet me there." After Sonic left the finish line, Nameless appeared and grabbed Jet, and flew off with the hawk!

Back outside Robotropolis, Knuckles was floating above the ruined city while storm clouds had gathered, overseeing the development of the Swatbots building something big from within the crater...
"It's only a matter of time now..." He said before lightning struck behind him. "Soon, all of Mobius shall once again tremble in fear at the very mention of the name: ENERJAK!"
