Tell Me What You Really See
"Yo, Ro-butt-nik! Listen to me! I cannot let you and King Scrap Heap over there open a portal to another dimension!" (1)
In Classic Sonic's world; a separate reality from Modern Sonic's world, the hero of this timeline; Classic Sonic was in the middle of a battle against Classic Eggman and a new super villain known as the Phantom King a former EggRobo who was transformed into a powerful dictator thanks to a new power discovered by Classic Eggman himself, a mysterious gemstone that sat on the king's head. The Phantom King was in the middle of a fight against his master, wanting to use the power of the gemstone for his own purposes, but Classic Eggman didn't want any of his insecure minions to use a power he discovered first.
Armed with a machine called the Klepto Mobile; a mech built from a damaged Egg Mobile with added arms. Two red-barrel like arms sat on the sides, while a spring-like-arm sat on the back of vehicle. Classic Eggman fired a punch across Phantom King's face before tackling him against a pile of garbage that sat in the middle of the arena, the purple and black sky gleamed purple streaks of light on top of them.
Classic Sonic, in his Super Form, stormed into the Klepto Mobile and kicked its pilot across the face.
Phantom King quickly grabbed the golden hedgehog and chucked him to the side, preventing him from getting in the way.
Classic Super Sonic flung around backward before catching himself mid-air, shaking his head to relieve the dizziness that rang in his brain. He cracked his fingers and looked up at the purple and black skies, the violet clouds moved around, magenta lightning struck from the sky. Boom. Boom. Boom!
All three combatants were fighting in a place called the Egg Reverie Zone; a barren wasteland where time and space does not exists. They were brought here because of the mysterious gemstone on top of Phantom King's head, but how can a small gem have so much power as to bring three people to another dimension?
That question didn't ramble through Classic Super Sonic's head. Instead, he let his fists do the talking.
He socked one punch across Phantom King's face and homing attacked Classic Eggman's invention. He repeated that procedure twice just to make sure they got the point he was trying to make; which was to either let the ruby go or be destroyed.
Phantom King whipped his scepter around like a pair of nunchucks and swatted at the golden hedgehog. He then raised his weapon in the air and slammed it downward, but Classic Eggman landed a punch across his creation's face, the back hand on the Klepto Mobile reached over and aimed for the ruby on the king's crown.
But Classic Super Sonic homing attacked the mech and grabbed the chain-like-hand. Swinging it around and around like a record player. He finally chucked Classic Eggman into a large cube of garbage. Rubble, debris, and all kinds of garbage fell right on top of the Klepto Mobile, but all of that weight combined wasn't enough to stop the fat scientist from achieving his goal.
Classic Super Sonic and Phantom King were caught in a fist-filled brawl; the latter kept firing punches, the former evaded all of them. Blocking some attacks with his hands. "Kids, behave yourselves!" the super-powered hedgehog said. "This is why we can't have nice things!"
"He's the one who started it, you moronic blue hedgehog!" Classic Eggman shouted in anger, pointing at Phantom King. He drove the Klepto Mobile straight into Phantom King and Classic Super Sonic, knocking them both out of the air. "Give me back that ruby, you bucket of bolts!"
Phantom King smacked the damaged Egg Mobile across the side.
Classic Super Sonic spun right between Phantom King's eyeballs.
The Klepto Mobile swung underneath Phantom King and rapidly punched.
This battle was filled with nothing but chaos and entropy, how could this battle come to an end?
An answer came quickly as soon as The Klepto Egg captured the Phantom King in its grasp, squeezing the life out of the robot, feeling its circuits crush underneath its fingertips. Soon enough, Classic Eggman ripped the Phantom King into pieces, the magenta gemstone flew into the air.
"That's one baby taken care of, now to put the other one to sleep!" Classic Super Sonic grinned, kicking the mech aside.
"Will you stop making parent jokes!" Classic Eggman retorted. "They're getting annoying!"
Classic Eggman rammed into the super hedgehog, catching the gemstone on the Klepto Egg's chained hand. "At last!" he said. "It's mine!"
"Not for long, Egghead!" Classic Super Sonic shouted. He flew to the the far side of the wasteland. He stopped himself and made a direct U-turn, boosting his way through garbage and rubble. The young version of Mobius' hero was planning on finishing this adventure, right here, right now. He was tired of having to go through old and new zones in order to finally chase down his arch-enemy, but he figured it was all worth it to give Eggman what he truly deserved. "Eggman, you're going in a time out!"
To deflect against Sonic (Or at least, try too) Classic Eggman grumbled and swatted one of the Klepto Mobile's large barrel arms.
Classic Super Sonic ducked underneath the arm and grabbed onto it, ripping it off the contraption. Classic Eggman scream at the top of his lungs, he only had one arm two arms left. But prior initiating another counterplay, Super Sonic was dead in front of him.
Classic Eggman's only resort… was to hold the gemstone right in front of him.
"Here's Sonic!" Classic Super Sonic, surrounded by a golden aura, slammed right into the Klepto Mobile.
But as soon as he did that… something unexpected happened. (1s)
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
The gemstone miraculously transformed Classic Sonic out of his Super Form. Him and the seven Chaos Emeralds bounced back after being hit by the stone's pulse. Dr. Eggman was knocked out of his rugged Egg Mobile after the gemstone kicked him off.
All seven Chaos Emeralds and the magenta rock suddenly stormed into the sky, the emeralds circled around the ruby. It was almost as if their powers were somehow reacting with each other, Sonic and Eggman didn't know if this was a positive effect or a negative effect. Their answer came to them as soon as a giant wormhole appeared in the middle of the sky, it roared as loud as a lion and rumbled like the sound of someone's hungry stomach. The two fighters stood back a few feet, Classic Eggman was afraid of what was happening. Classic Sonic made a solid gulp.
"Well… this ain't good," Classic Sonic said, he turned to Classic Eggman. "Eggman, what did you do!?"
"I-I don't know!" Classic Eggman replied. "I've never seen the emeralds do this before!"
Suddenly, the strength of the wormhole increased by a ton because Classic Sonic suddenly felt himself being lifted off the ground. Classic Eggman did the same thing as well. He waved his arms back and forth, screaming in pure agony.
He was sucked through the wormhole.
Classic Sonic grabbed onto a piece of a pipe sticking out of the garbage pile. He hoped that of he hung onto this thing long enough, he could pull himself back to the surface and get back home to see Classic Tails and Classic Knuckles again, as he knew those two were waiting for him by Never Lake; the location of Little Planet.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for him. Within less than a second, he was sucked through the portal. The mysterious gemstone followed close behind.
The portal finally sealed closed. All was quiet in the Egg Reverie Zone.
(~)
Classic Sonic traveled through what looked to be a black dimension with all sorts of white streaks of light, connecting like a spider web. Magenta orbs of energy shot by Classic Sonic, barely touching him. As the young hedgehog flew around, his whole body started acting weird; it was misshaping, purple, blue, and white pixels started covering his body. But they would disappear a second later. In other words, Classic Sonic was glitching.
As if his problems couldn't get any worse, he heard voices around the black dimension as his body continued glitching.
"How could you do this to us!? I thought we were friends!"
"I'm afraid our little game ends now, Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Tails, get out of there now!"
"For the fate of my future, I will destroy you!"
"Tails, Amy, head down to Sunset Park. See if you could find any clues about that creature."
"Sonic!"
Classic Sonic grasped his ears and dug his fingers into his fur, squalling in the highest tone his voice could go.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(~)
In Modern Sonic's world; Mobius, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik paced around back and forth in his new lab structure, the Arsenal Pyramid. A large black room that had a lot of light and color to it, thanks to the numerous light blue test tubes that illuminated the darkness of the bare room.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Dr. Eggman patted his foot against, repeating the same thing he's been doing since he got out of bed this morning; stomping back and forth aimlessly. He tapped his foot. Stroked his mustache. And tightened his red jacket, thinking of a new way to get back at Sonic the Hedgehog after the incident that happened on the Lost Hex. After that said incident, the evil scientist with an IQ of 300 couldn't think of any ideas for robot designs, all he's been doing is walking around his laboratory.
Orbot and Cubot; Eggman's lackeys, were by the computer. The former was looking through the footage of the security cameras outside while Cubot was cleaning one of the test tubes with a wash cloth. Both watched their master pace in a circle.
"Sheesh," said Cubot. "Eggman's getting a lot more exercise than he does at the Olympic Games."
"That is impressive since the last Olympic Games were four years ago," Orbot said. "Oh, yes. Pacing around in a circle is going to become the next Olympic sport. Eggman wants to go for all those gold medals!"
"Go Dr. Eggman!" Cubot cheered.
"Will the two of you shut up!" Dr. Eggman shouted. Stopping his pacing, he turned his head to face his assistants. "I'm pacing around like an idiot because I'm trying to come up with new robot designs! Ever since that incident on the Lost Hex, ideas haven't been coming to me like they used to!"
Dr. Eggman sat down in his chair, picking up a few pieces of paper. They were sketches of rejected robot concepts he planned, but never got around to finishing.
"Look at these! They're all garbage!" he showed Orbot and Cubot the first one; a Motobug that shot out acid. He flipped the paper to the second page, it showed a green hedgehog robot with black shades and a leather jacket with flames on it. He crumbled them up and tossed them into the air. "None of these designs are working! It's hopeless!"
"Perhaps this is a sign, a sign that you should do something else with your life," Orbot said, checking the security footage.
"What else can I do besides be an evil genius?"
"Maybe you can go back to school and get your teaching degree?" Cubot suggested.
"That actually sounds hilarious, but I have a strong feeling that I did that in an alternate universe. One that has Sonic wearing a scarf, it was weird."
"Um, Boss," Orbot said, he sounded worried. "You might want to take a look at this."
"What is it?" Dr. Eggman asked, he and Cubot walked to where Orbot was standing. The orb-shaped robot pointed at security footage of the front door. "The radar's picking up a strange energy reading just outside the front door."
"Hmm?... wonder what it is." Dr. Eggman replied, waving his lackeys goodbye. "Stay here, don't break anything!"
"No promises, sir," Orbot waved.
The warm spring breeze smacked Dr. Eggman with a hiss, as he opened the door and felt the blazing sun gleam down upon his bald head. He walked over to the front of the door and saw a giant crater in the ground. He wondered what could have caused this crater and just how he didn't hear whatever impacted the ground. Scratching his head, he walked up to the crater and found something he didn't expect.
It was the same gemstone that Classic Sonic and Classic Eggman were fighting over. An icosahedron ruby with black ripple patterns along its surface. It was small enough to fit in the palm of someone's hand.
Curious, Dr. Eggman reached down to grab the ruby, unaware of its powers. "This is the weirdest looking Chaos Emerald I've ever seen."
As soon as he made physical contact with the ruby, a wave of red energy washed out of the gem. The same indescribable noise that affected Classic Sonic and Eggman deafened the doctor's ears. He immediately raised his hand to shield his eyes from the bright light. Before he knew it, the noise simmered down, he warily lowered his hand. His jaw dropped at an unusual sight.
The first of many things he was the setting; it was Eggmanland; the energy plant he built a long time ago to harness Dark Gaia energy. The same smell of smog spewing was the same, so were the numerous roller coasters, Ferris wheels, rails, amusement park games, etc. Only this version of the park wasn't used for storing energy, it was a pure amusement park… that was turned into a war zone.
To the side of him, in the middle of the smoke that came from missiles exploding into the ground, there was a Resistance of Mobians and GUN soldiers fighting against the Eggman Empire. His own empire consisted of the Deadly Six, Metal Sonic, Chaos, and Shadow the Hedgehog (That was surprise to him). But what shocked him the most was what he found when he took a step backward. His foot accidentally kicked something behind him when he walked back, he jerked his head downward and gasped at the sight of… unconscious bodies
Specifically, the wounded bodies of Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Team Chaotix, Silver the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, E-123 Omega, and Blaze the Cat. All of them were somehow injured, but how did they get that way?
His answer came to him as soon as he heard noises, noises of lasers firing at someone. Screams were added to the noise of the missiles and gunfire.
What he saw was himself, wearing green armor made entirely made of crystals. The same gemstone was implanted in the middle of his chest. He was smacking Sonic around like a chew toy, picking him up and slamming him against the dirt.
"Batter up, Hedgehog!" Crystal Eggman tossed the hedgehog up in the air before he flew him across the sky with an uppercut. Sonic tumbled across the red dirt and landed inside a cotton candy stand. He jumped up on his feet and raced towards his enemy. "You're not stopping this! Not today!"
"I am stopping this!" Sonic stomped his foot, dashing into Eggman in his spin ball form. "Right now!"
Crystal Eggman caught Sonic and untucked him from his little ball, holding him up by the neck. Showing Sonic his fallen Resistance, the hedgehog watched as more Mobian soldiers and GUN agents fell victim to being blown away by the Eggman Empire's forces. Chaos smacked a dozen agents, Metal Sonic's V. Maximum Overdrive penetrated the tanks piloted by Mobian soldiers, and the Deadly Six used their individual powers to eliminate their foes.
For once, Sonic the Hedgehog was losing a fight.
"Anything you want to say to me, Sonic?" Crystal Eggman sneered, tightening his grip around Sonic's neck.
Dr. Eggman gasped and slowly walked up to the two combatants. Curious, he walked around them. It was clear they couldn't hear him nor see him.
"Yeah," Sonic coughed, spitting into Eggman's glasses. "As long as one man stands against you, Eggman… you won't lay a finger on this planet."
"Come on, me!" Dr. Eggman whispered. "Kill him! Get it over with!"
Just as the fight was coming to an exciting conclusion, Eggmanland and all of the fighters inside it went away in the blink of an eye. Reality was suddenly restored back to the way it was, which made Dr. Eggman very disappointed. What he saw was pure heaven, the dream that he's always wanted just came true, despite the fact that it was only a mere illusion. Dr. Eggman sighed before picking up the ruby, shaking it side to side. He hoped to bring back his dream, but it didn't look to be returning back anytime soon.
"Hmm?" Dr. Eggman said, scratching his chin. "This may not be a Chaos Emerald, but if it possesses abilities like that, then it must be worth studying! Prepared to be researched, jewel!"
(~)
For the next few hours, Dr. Eggman has kept himself occupied by running a few experiments on the ruby, wanting to see if it can recreate what he just saw in that horrific yet satisfying vision he witnessed. On the third hour of the day, the mad doctor was observing the gem float around in the light blue test tube, it was stuck to a few wires that transferred its data into the computer.
Random schematics of code showed up on screen, giving Dr. Eggman a small bit of info on where the magenta gem comes from.
"Bah! The results are over the place for this… this thing!" Dr. Eggman complained, rolling his eyes. "What could I label this fascinating object?"
"Oh, I got a name!" Cubot said, waving his hand as if he was participating to go up in front of a school classroom. "How about Spooky Sapphire?"
"It's not even blue," Orbot shook his head.
"Precious Stone!"
"Is that game even cannon?"
"My precious!"
"That's from a movie."
"No!" Dr. Eggman raised his finger, getting an idea flowing through his head. "I will call it… The Phantom Ruby!"
"Aw, man!" Cubot moaned. "I was going to say that!"
"Hush!" Orbot scolded his dim-witted friend.
Just before Dr. Eggman could do resume his experiments on the newly named Phantom Ruby, an explosion occurred on the exterior of the Arsenal Pyramid. Dr. Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot turned around and heard another explosion occur on the outside. What could it be? They thought of that question as soon as they looked up at the ceiling, a little cloud of dust fell down on three test tubes. Orbot and Cubot hovered to the security footage and popped up a live video of a fight outside Emerald Hill.
The Jackal Squad were fighting against a few security Badniks that noticed them sneaking into the base. (2)
"How dare those canines attack me!?" Dr. Eggman hollered. He removed the Phantom Ruby from its testing container. "Just when I'm in the middle of studying this stupid rock! How I wish I more artillery to destroy these idiots!"
Like a genie from a lamp, the Phantom Ruby granted its master wish and generated an army of Badniks; Motobugs, Egg Pawns, Buzz Bombers, Slicers, and Crabmeats. Dr. Eggman was shocked to see that these drones randomly came out of nowhere. "Uh… where did these?... Oh, well, doesn't matter! Robot army! Kill those jackals!"
(~)
"Pierce, I thought you said this place was abandoned!" Finn snarled at his teammate, slicing through three Flappers; flying Badniks that resembled birds. He jumped on top of a green Flapper and jabbed his red sword between its eyes.
"It looked abandoned from a distance!" Pierce replied, dodging gunfire from a set of Egg Fighters. Tempest and Jay took them down with ease. Lance leaped forward and threw his many daggers into the circuits of enemies. "Sorry, guys!"
"Let's take care of these Badniks and get out of here!" Tempest suggested, jumping over a monkey-like robot called Monkey Dude. Monkey Dude whipped out a bomb that resembled a coconut and chucked it right at the female jacket. She roundhouse kicked it back at the mech and watched it explode. "Come on! Let's go!"
"No way, these are just leftover Badniks!" Finn retorted, penetrating through his enemies. "There's no way Dr. Eggman is here! Let's just steal some of his technology and get out of here!"
"I hate to rain on your parade, Mr. Jackal," Dr. Eggman smiled, arrived on his Egg Walker; an Egg Mobile with two legs on each side, holding up the Phantom Ruby. "Oh, who am I kidding? I love to rain on your parade because you and your band of idiots will not get out of here alive! Badnik Horde kill them!"
Finn and the Jackal Squad found themselves piled on with more and more enemies. Slicers threw their boomerang like claws at them, Crabmeats pounded the ground, Motobugs rammed into the, and Egg Robos, Egg Pawns, and Egg Fighters turned the skies yellow with heavy laser fire.
"Move out!" Finn ordered, he and his squad zig-zagged around the lush emerald hills. They slid underneath several enemies and attacked them until they were decimated. Lance and Jay smashed Egg Fighters into the grass, Tempest assisted Pierce in taking down the Flappers, and Finn went right for the kill. "Take care of the robots! I'll handle the fat man!"
"Whoa! Stay back, freak!" Dr. Eggman shouted in worry, he raised the Phantom Ruby into the air. Finn jumped upward and raised his sword above his head. Pointing downward, he went straight for Dr. Eggman.
But instead, he hit the Phantom Ruby.
The rest of the jackals cried out in worry for their leader, as they witnessed the transformation of Emerald Hill to Eggmanland. Finn gasped and looked around. Smoke spewed out of the buildings above, polluting the red sky, the Resistance was getting their rears handed to them by the Eggman Empire, and Crystal Eggman was on the verge of killing Sonic.
"What the heck?" Finn asked in the uttermost shock. "What is this!?"
Before his brain could register such a devastated world, Metal Sonic; Eggman's most prized creation came out of nowhere and tackled the leader, pinning him down against the grass. The Phantom Ruby pulsed once again and returned things to the way they were; Eggmanland was gone and Emerald Hill was back. Metal Sonic pressed his hand against the jackal's face, putting all of his weight on top of him. (2s)
The rest of the Jackal Squad couldn't help in the slightest because all of them were captured and pinned down by Eggman's forces.
Speaking of the doctor, he jumped off his Egg Walker and walked slowly towards the jackal, he leaned over Metal Sonic's shoulder and watched the jackal's blue and yellow eyes look into his blue glasses.
"Hello," Dr. Eggman greeted with a chuckle. "How do you do?"
Finn growled in response, punching Metal Sonic in the leg. That didn't do anything.
"I don't suppose you know what this is," Dr. Eggman waved the Phantom Ruby in front of Finn's face. "Guess not… why have you come here?"
"Boss!" Jay squealed. "Don't tell him we came here to steal his technology!"
"Darn it, Jay!" Pierce said.
"Seriously!?" Tempest moaned.
"Baka!" Lance rolled his eyes.
"So, you came here to steal my stuff, eh?" Dr. Eggman chuckled again. "Gotta say, I admire your effort in getting past my forces. You and your team fight well in the old style, but tell me, why my technology of all things? Surely, you could have used far more advanced technology like from the Nocturnus Clan or Babylon Garden. But why me?"
"I came here because I want to kill someone who wronged me in the past!" Finn answered. "His name… is Sonic the Hedgehog!"
Dr. Eggman gasped with disbelief. Someone besides him hated Sonic as well? The idea of someone who wasn't a Zeti nor a robot hating Sonic amazed him. He squatted down to face the jackal, stroking his mustache. "So you have a hatred for the hedgehog too, huh?" he asked.
"I used to have a respect for him, but now I have a personal vendetta against him. Something happened years ago that caused me to lose my respect for him."
"Oh, boo hoo," said Metal Sonic. "You poor sap. Let me play a sad song on the world's smallest violin. What should we do with them, Doctor? I suggest we should punish them for having the gall to invade our home!"
Dr. Eggman looked down at the precious gemstone, starting to think about his decision. Part of him wanted to punish the Jackal Squad for interrupting his studies and for wanting to steal his technology, but on the other hand, these warriors fought well against his forces. Not only that, but their leader shared a hatred for Sonic the Hedgehog. Usually when he meets someone to work for him, the person either betrays them to kill Sonic themselves or they become Sonic's friend. He was skeptical that the same thing would happen with this character, but because he had the power of the Phantom Ruby at the palm of his hand. If Finn would get out of his hand, Dr. Eggman could easily torture him with more illusions.
In two to three seconds, he made up his mind.
"Tell you what, good sir," Dr. Eggman said.
"Finn, my name is Finn: The Ultimate Mercenary," said the jackal.
"Well then, Finn… let's cut a deal. I'll let you use a new piece of technology I discovered and in return, you have to help me destroy Sonic the Hedgehog. What do you say, deal?"
"Finn, don't let this crazy man manipulate you!" Tempest shouted. "He just wants to use you for power!"
"The chances of him being serious are 0.000000003%!" Pierce said.
"Kashikoi koto ni, Finn!" Lance warned.
"Anyone smell ham?" Jay asked.
The Ultimate Mercenary was being bombarded with all sorts of warning from his friends, but the deal made by Dr. Eggman made its way into the mixture of voices that replayed on his head. Him and Eggman shared a common hatred for Sonic so it would make sense if the two worked together. But at the same time, Finn didn't think working with Dr. Eggman would be the best idea. After seeing what the Phantom Ruby could do, he wondered what power could lie in such an advanced jewel. He turned to his jackals and gave them a heavy sigh, right before he made his choice.
"I accept your offer," Finn replied.
Metal Sonic stepped off the jackal, allowing him to get up.
Dr. Eggman held out his hand for a handshake. Finn took his hand and returned the handshake.
"Let's do it, Doctor Eggman," Finn smiled evilly. "I will help you change this world."
A new partnership was now declared.
The rest of the Jackal Squad knew that this wasn't going to be pretty.
END OF CHAPTER 4
Dr. Eggman has gained himself a new partner within Finn the Jackal. This is going to end badly. How will this partnership go? I guess we will have to find out when we start to get the real meat and potatoes of the game. Well we're still in the beginning of the story. In other words, two characters will team up with Knuckles to take down a familiar foe in "Chapter 5: Stress Test."
Lance's Japanese to English Translations
1. Baka! = Idiot!
2. Kashikoi koto ni, Finn! = Be smart about this, Finn!
Okay, for those of you that know me, you may have noticed that a certain someone by the name of Classic Sonic (A character I've talked a lot of crap about in my reviews for other Sonic Forces rewrites out there) appeared at the beginning of the chapter. Before any of you kill me, hear me out. After watching many playthroughs of the Sonic Forces game, watching many episodes of TV Shows that have to do with Dimensional Travel, and watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse three times. I decided to put Classic Sonic in here. Why? I can't tell you, but I think you'll like my plan.
The chapter title is a reference to a lyric in someone's theme song. Can you guess who?
Crystal Eggman is inspired by Hard Light Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics. He used that armor to fight against Wendy "Witchcart" Naugus and her brother, Walter Naugus. I figured I would put him in here as a foreshadow to the final battle. But we're too far from that.
Pay close attention to the voices in Classic Sonic's head. They'll come into play later.
As always. Thank you for reading the chapter. Don't forget to review, fav, and/or follow as it does help me a lot. Be sure to also check out my other Sonic story, Awakened. I'm The Sensational SpiderDom321, signing off!
