Chronicles of the Future

by Shinx the Seventeenth

Shiny is just a normal hedgehog. He really is. He's someone who people call a 'freak'. He just wants to find a few friends. But when he discovers newfound powers, he is caught in the crossfire of multiple events, including an alliance, sinister baddies and maybe even more than that. Starring mainly OCs, and casted by OCs submitted by the community. Official story begins 21/8/2018.

3. Chapter 2

HEY GUYS SHINX HERE and it is time… time for the official launch of Chronicles of the Future! *summons confetti which sprays all over the office*

I'm so ready to begin this journey with everyone who's supported it somehow. This is going to be a great coup for me and I pray this becomes one of the best Sonic fanfics to grace this website. But before we get into the juicy bits…

The OC submissions are still available. Yes, now the main character submission contest is over, BUT you can still submit your favourite OCs that are:

-Enemies!

-Robotnik style robots!

- Recurring characters!

- It seems Shadic is still recruiting members for the Time Travel Agency…

Also, I'm very sorry for not telling those selected earlier (especially VGB305, who sent his artwork), but for your drawing, make them have a casual pose! I mean, I want a normal, casual looking cover so everyone has to look casual! And fit their personalities! So again, I apologize and please submit your artwork again.

Next, the reviews. Like most writers, I will not listen to plain hate mail but will have all ears on constructive criticism.

Here's an example of plain hate mail…

XXX user says:

HAHAHA I LOVE YOUR STORY MAN ITS SO TRASH TRASH TRASH TRASH T-T-T-T-TRASH TRASHY AS YOUR MOM'S TRASH CAN Cos u were born in a trash can AHAHAHAHA etc.

And here's an example of constructive criticism:

Hey there Shinx, I just wanted to let you know, the plot hole here is too easy to notice. Maybe you could patch it up by adding more detail to some certain events… etc. etc.

Lastly, the disclaimer. I will only do this once, so…

All OCs here belong to their respective owners. I only use them if they submit that character for the OC submission contest. Exceptions are made for Shiny, Caldrom, Kris, Esther and several others that will be in this story.

Shadow, Silver and Blaze belong to SEGA. So does the entire Sonic the Hedgehog universe (though it's set in a future not mentioned by no one)

Without further delay, enjoy.

Chapter 001: The Loop (Part 01)

Comparing South Island 200 years ago from today, it was a totally different story.

Times have changed. Ever since the death of Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Robotnik, scientists have used innovative ideas based on Eggman's contraptions, to exploit a technological overload. Since then, the trees of South Island were falling faster than a guillotine. This was only stopped in 2090, when Mayor South decided to sign a contract depicting that nature and technology will share the island together. No less, no more.

Which brings us to today. South Island is now one of the most revolutionary places in Mobius, for its eco-friendly approach and kind, friendly residents. But if it wasn't for one hedgehog, this never would've happened.

Which was why located just outside the navy blue coasts of South Island, stood a tall statue of their saviour, Sonic the Hedgehog. It was almost as if he had regained his old charisma; from his smirk to his signature finger-wagging pose, most people marvelled at the sights of this towering figure.

Yep, South Island no longer had to bother with baddies no more. It was life as usual.

'And now, the latest reports at tourist hotspot, The Loop!'

'Hello there South Island! I'm Lex the Leopard reporting today at The Loop!'

'LEX IS A LAME SICKO A-'

'SHUT UP!' Lex had a brief meltdown, then continued:

'This historic place is located here in Green Hill Zone, and the first loop that Sonic the Hedgehog had ever gone through on his first adventure! Till now, no one has ever gone past that loop. At least, that's what today's history book says. Will there be a chance today? I don't know, but let's have a look at today's hilarious highlight:'

We now see a young bear at the starting point. He starts gliding on his skateboard, and is clearly picking up speed. But as soon as the road starts to steep up, he floated in mid-air before doing a backflip. Then he fell flat on his face. People are seen snickering at the bear, as he sadly walked away.

Lex almost snorted in laughter before swiftly coming back to his senses.

'Well Buzz, I don't think anyone will run through The Loop today. That's all from m-'

'LEX IS A LAME SICKO AND HE SHALL BORE US ALL TO DEATH~'

'SHUT UP!' What followed next should not be displayed on live TV, but it did.

'…and that is the news report today! Good day South Island!'

Meanwhile

Shiny stood silently against the wall outside the mayor's office. Today was the big day. The day he can finally walk down the streets and not be called a street rat. It was… salvation for a poor childhood. Finally, the mayor's door opened.

'Mr. Gordon Ramirez, you're free to enter.'

'Thanks.'

Joe Central was not what people expected him to be. Sure, he was supposed to be wise, as an owl. But he wasn't the wisest. In fact, before becoming a mayor, he was the personality of the island, a mean swinger. In fact, the main reason why he became mayor was due to his overwhelming popularity. When he got the job, he shocked everyone by actually taking it seriously. Which is why he has become one of the most celebrated mayors in South Island history.

'It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Gordon.' Joe greeted the young hedgehog with glee.

'Same to you, Mayor Central.' Shiny responded equally mannerly, albeit in a more cold tone.

'Now, I am honoured to tell you that you are now officially a citizen of South Island, Gordon. Congratulations!' Joe handed Shiny his brand new documents and shook his hand.

'Thank you, sir.' Shiny replied.

'Now, I believe you have claimed your parents' old home? I hope it isn't too shabby… unlike that nightclub I visited a few days… OOF!' Realizing what he was saying, he blushed furiously, covering his mouth in a hurry.

'It's OK, sir. I've seen far worse… and awkward things than these,' Shiny muttered in a very dull tone.

'Why now, son, you seem a bit down. What seems to be the matter? Care to share your thoughts?' Joe asked worryingly. He finally notice the dull expression that Shiny seemed to always have.

'Why now, it's nothing sir. Don't worry about me. It's probably your habits you need to worry about.' And with that, he walked away, leaving Mayor Central dumbfounded and somewhat humiliated.

With citizenship documents in hand, Shiny carefully planned out the day. There were some places exclusive to South Island citizens only. One of them being…

'The Loop.'

Little did Shiny know that the visit there would change his life. Forever.

AND THAT'S IT thank you all so much for reading, and be sure to R&R!

Loving your support,

Shinx the 17th
