Chapter 13

UPDATE: Sorry for the close-together paragraphs!

It's been 4 months, huh. That's annoying. I actually had plans to finish what I need to do and go back to this in a month.

Unfortunately, not everything goes that way you want it to, especially in my case. It's not that anything emotional happen (excluding disappointment at myself for not doing important stuff earlier), just a LOT of work needed.
You can read more of my awesome and short excuse on Akatsuki Tokusentai. Last chapter. So, let's go on with this story. And I need names guys, Mobius Zenkai goes through the tongue, not rolling off it. Still accepting OCs, I don't want to introduce too many characters at a time (?:That… doesn't make sense). And I have only one OC in my mind that probably doesn't serve a place right now. Also, the ultra long flashback ends here, and we get to see a new person as well! (New Character: I thought you just said you were introducing too many characters.)

Zonic

Dark stared at it. It was big. It looked cool.

"What do you think?" Amy smirked, "Amazing isn't it?"
"Yep." confessed Dark, "I'm not surprised."
"With this new time machine, you can go anywhere in the past! Even though scientists have said the traveling into the past may not be possible-" Dark wondered at the new invention, but was it safe? Would it actually worked? It was never tested, but it looked so cool! Just one last question, though. "-And don't forget to put on your seat belt, and-"

"Sorry to interrupt you, but is it ready?" interrupted Dark.

"Oh...Yes, it is."

"That's all I needed to know." Dark stood up from his leather chair and approached the machine. The shuttle automatically opened before him, welcoming its first passenger. "Guess this is goodbye, Rose." Dark looked back and smiled, his dark presence shattering for a mere moment.

"Y-Yeah..." Amy faked a smile. "See ya!"

"Wait!"

"What?" Amy had grabbed Dark by the arm. "You still haven't told me what you want it for."

"Want what?"

"The time machine, idiot." Amy crossed her arms and set a stern look on him.

"W-Well….You see…." Dark sighed, then his eyes turned malicious. "I want to save my friends, they died in this accident, you see, and I want to revive them. But, I also want the man who killed them to be tortured and know my pain."

"Dark...Revenge isn't a good thing at all. It may feel good whilst you're dong it, but after it, you regret what you've done." Amy softened.

"You don't know what happened there, the love of my life died, by my hands." Dark started crying, a precipitation of tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Don't you mean gloves?" Amy tried.

"Ha." Dark smiled again, his dark countenance shattering again. He rubbed his cheeks with the back of his glove, then waved goodbye to Amy. "Call it vengeance, happy?"

"Slightly." the pink hedgehog smiled.

"See ya later!" Sonic entered into the shuttle, his waving hand turning into a thumbs up, "I'll be back in a second, probably." Then he was gone in a flash of light.

…

…

…

"And….Multiverse Theory it is." Amy sighed.

PRESENT

"If this Chaos Emerald sent us here, it can definitely send us back." Boomer noted.

"And… how do vee do vhat?" asked Antoine.

"Well, we wanted to get out of the explosion, didn't we?" started Sally.

Nods all around.

"Why don't we just want to get back?"

"It's not that simple, the Chaos Emeralds might only react when there's a danger towards them." argued Boomer.

"How selfish." Rogue said as she examined a blue one. "Hey, don't you think it was weird when Sonic started to talk?"

"Hey...You might be on to something,"

"Maybe tha' Chaos Emeralds 'ad something to do with Sonic's tongue!" figured out Bonnie.

"So that would mean your point is invalid, Boomer!" pointed out Sally.

"So, ze Chaos Emeralds are alive?" inquired Antoine. "Well, they do have a source of energy, Chaos Energy." Boomer found out, eyes staring in awe at the handheld's screen, "And it's reacting to the negative Chaos Energy emitting from Sonic's location."

"Negative? What are you talking about?" inquired Rouge. Everybody else had an idea and looked at Rogue.

"Rouge, you know the most about the Chaos Emeralds, fill us in on what you know!"

"Do I look like a history teacher to you?" smirked Rouge, "The Chaos Emeralds are said to have existed before Ancient Times, otherwise known as when civilization was developing; approximately 3450 years ago. How do we know this? Well, a tablet from that time had the date of when it was 'written'. These times were when the Echidna tribe were common but surprising beasts of nature." "They were the most civilized at the time, they had blacksmiths…..Uh, and other stuff too. There was also use of magic at that time as well. Magic too us, was actually Chaos Energy to them. But their Chaos Energy was too powerful at some point in time. It was uncontrollable and came in a disgusting form of the user's emotions. This happened frequently, making the Echidna tribe an emotional bunch; this weakened the respect from outsiders from them, and raids turned from rare to uncommon. Even though that was a big leap, fighting off more raiders than usual is already a tough job for the guards."

"So, they devised a plan too seal off this energy. The chief at the time, name unknown, found the Chaos Emeralds and used them to seal off the leaking amount of Chaos Energy. The emeralds already had enough energy, now it's probably on the scale on the universe."

"You haven't explained to us about how the gems were created." pointed out Sally.

"No one knows," Rouge shrugged, "But we do know they've existed before time."

"Whoa." said Bonnie in awe. "They're sooooo valuable."

"That's why I want to sell them."

"But if they're put into thah wrong hands, they can destroy a universe!" complained Bonnie.

"I don't really care about what they do, as long as I get the money, they can do whatever they want." said Rouge without hesitation, "But they'll have trouble extracting the true power of the Chaos Emeralds. We're only been able to extract a small percentage of it to teleport, and we don't even know how we actually did it."

- Location of Dark Sonic -

"Geez, that was a really long flashback." Dark Sonic scratched his quills, "Wonder if past-me has woken up or something."

He looked to see his sleeping opponent, muttering food names and drink names as well.

"Hmph, he's like a sleeping child, Rose would've probably found him cute." Dark laughed, "So what do I do now?" Although he wanted to see his friends again, he had been teleported to the wrong point in time, he couldn't revive them. But that didn't mean he couldn't have some fun, that's why he had fought Sonic, a test of strength.

"I don't remember myself being so powerful in the past, maybe I've gotten weak?"

His win against himself was a hoax.

A fib.

A complete embarrassment.

He hadn't truly won. He had been disrespected. He deserved no compliment on his success.

It was only his luck that provided him to win. No, it was just an action of mercy on him. He clutched his fist, the dark aura around him spreading. Words couldn't describe the rage that was engulfing him right now. He wanted to fight him again. He wanted a true fight, no limits. He looked back at Sonic.

"Whoa!"

This time, he would win. Even if it would technically kill him.

"Hey, you!"

Yes, even if he couldn't see Amy's face again, he would die with the satisfaction of winning.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?!"

Even if he loses this chance to go back to the machine and resurrect his friends.

"Hey! Earth to Sonic!"

He would, no, will win. After all, it's his d-

"HEY!"

"What?!" said a shocked Dark.

"Finally," the new figure changed into a pose. "Stunning! Shinning! Out of the blue! Burning! Blazing! Jumping from the waters of sorrow! Starring in the theater of death! Entry into the heaven of responsibility! The name's Zonic! Zone Cop extraordinaire!"

";-;"

":)"

"...Who are you?" asked Dark.

"W-What?! I just told you!"

"Sonic? No way, there's only one Sonic."

"Look who's talking! Name's NOT Sonic by the way,"

"I'm the future version of Sonic..."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"Nope."

"Yep."

"No way."

"Yes way."

"Almost impossible."

"Improb- ...What do you mean almost?!"

"Can't tell you, too many spoilers."

"...What?"

"ANYWAY," Zonic took a fighting stance, "I'm here to stop your disturbance on this Zone!"

"Wait, what the heck's a Zone?"

"Well, you see…" Zonic started drawing on a blackboard that came out of nowhere.

"...Wot?"

"There are two types of Zones. Normal Zones are like levels in a game. They can be broken down into Acts; Zones usually only have 3 Acts. For example, the Green Hill Zone has 3 Acts. The other type of Zone is another term for solar systems."

"What's this mombo-jumbo about solar systems and Acts and stuff?" thought Dark, "I should be destroying this faker right now."

"The Zone you are in is one of the many in this universe. We call this Zone, the 'Prime Zone'. Another zone is 'Dark Mobius', but I don't want to reveal too much about it to you. "Speaking of you, your 'time-traveling' is actually a Zone change."

"Which one?"

"Universe one, we'll just call that one S-Zone. You've come from the Zone 'Mobius 2'. A parallel world, sorry, S-Zone, to Prime Zone's Mobius. The only differences are that Mobius 2 is weaker than Mobius as a whole, and Sally's in love with you in that world as well. Unfortunately, your fighting here has caused quite a great disturbance in this S-Zone. And anyway, you're not even allowed to fidget with time itself."

"You mean one of your buddy's would have sorted me out?"

"Nope, someone else, stronger than us all combined would have robbed you of your existence."

"Who's he? He sounds like someone that will give me a challenge."

"First of all, she our not strong enough for her right now, in fact, you'll never be strong enough for her…. Aaaand, I've said too much."

"I'm bored," Dark yawns to prove his point, "Can't we fight already?"

"Sure." said Zonic. "Let me just put on my actual helmet first, along with my combat stuff."

He took a small button from his pocket and switched something on. Immediately, Zonic's attire changed. Before, he looked like an astronaut, next thing, he looked like his job. He wore a red sweatsuit with a golden belt, having a 'Z' sculpted into it, a kind-of pauldron that had an openings near the clavicle (Can't really describe them, just search up what Zonic looks like or something), blue gloves that were too big for his hands, a tall but thin fanny pack, green boots and a limited edition bubble helmet that had two large golden tablet-like screws, a half-V red, wide line coming out of the screws and a green back….thing that hide his quills.

"...Whoa. You really do look like an idiot." smirked Dark.

"Hmph. I have to destroy you now."

"Fudge the police."

"I'm not the police, I'm Zonic, a Space Cop."

"You're not Sonic."

"I said Zonic, not Sonic. It's with a z."

"I'm pretty sure it's a zed,"

"Not this again." Zonic face-palmed.

"Guess I'll call you Zed-nic."

Zonic immediately leaped into action. His fist made impact on Dark's open-hand, causing a small shock wave.

"No fair, I didn't get a countdown." Dark looked at him calmly. He then twisted Zonic by the fist, making the Cop flip 10 times. Then he was swung ungracefully backwards.

"Ow." Whilst on his back, Zonic took out a gun from his fanny pack, "Meet my gun, Execution." Zonic pressed the trigger eagerly.

A small azure beam shot out of the gun and...missed. Actually, his aim was perfect, his position was perfect. But he had forgot one thing, if you're a Sonic, you're probably the fastest thing alive.

Dark dived in from above with a roundhouse kick, causing a crack in Zonic's bubble helmet.

"Ow! That helmet was limited edition as well!"

"Of course it was, that's why it broke." Dash landed on the ground into a charging spin-dash.

"I'm picking up some large Zone disturbance." thought the Zone Cop as he watched Dark spin faster and faster. He made a whip-like movement with his gun and an energy whiplash tied itself around Dark, still in spin-dash form.

"...Crap..."

"Crap, indeed." Zone smirked as he swung the hedgehog around – then ungracefully let go.

Crash!Dark created an asteroid-size crater in the ground.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Dark as he powered up, the familiar but depressing aura slithering around his body; his bandages like snakes.

"Whoa. That's some power you have there!" Zonic's countenance suddenly turned worried with a glint of uncertainty. "Too much power."

Beep!

"Zucy! I need that time-guy on this guy," Zonic said as he turned his screw.

"Yeaaaahhhhh, he's not available at the moment. Fighting off some guy screwing up time again."

"He's busy? At a time like this?"

"You're not funny."

"I'm hilarious."

"I can send you a Helper, though."

"Tell me the words I want to hear." Zonic watched as Dark was finishing his power up.

"It's coming in a few minutes."

"...Those weren't the words."

"I know."

"Fine, guess that'll have to do." Zone sighed.

He turned off his screw, then felt a powerful feeling manifesting in his gut. Otherwise known as, pain.

- Random Location -

"Legend says that when you collect all the Chaos Emeralds together, a beast very powerful appears." Rouge said as she concluded her information on the Chaos Emeralds.

"Huh, thah more you know." Bonnie marveled, "How much do we have now?"

"Oh, I have 5 at the moment."

"That fast?" Sally gasped.

"Actually, we now have seven. I just found 2 in the ground." said Boomer as he showcased his findings.

"...What a coincidence." sweat-dropped Sally.

"Vey! They're glowing!" wowed Antoine. It was true, the Chaos Emeralds were coming towards each other and glowing harmoniously.

"Wait!" Boomer stopped the gems before they came in contact with each other, "If this beast is true, then it's most likely hostile." argued Boomer.

"How do you know?" asked Rouge.

"Because you said earlier that the emotional power of the Echidna tribe was stored in them." face-palmed Boomer.

"Oh yeah."

"Shouldn't we be looking for Sonic?" asked Bonnie, "You said some negative Chaos Whatever is over there."

"Oh yeah. Also an update." typing sounds of the mini-laptop could be heard. "Apparently, there's two similar lifeforms making contact with each other."

"Vait, there's only von Sonic, right?" stated Antoine.

"We need to go check this out ourselves." suggested Sally.

"If only the Chaos Emeralds would listen to us." reminded Boomer.

"Hey, Chaos Emerald, transport us to Robotnik/Eggface." Rouge tried to a green one.

The emerald pulsed and pulsed like a beating heart.

Then a flashing white light blinded the animals' eyes.

- Robotnik's House -

"Let's see, which should I watch next? My Hero Academia Season 2 or Dragon Ball Super?" Robotnik said to himself. They were both good animes, but Robotnik was pretty sure Hero Academia was facing the aftermath of that one guy, probably filler. He turned the TV to Dragon Ball Super, latest episode. "I hope Gohan finally does something good."

He watched the awesome intro and the fill-in on what happened last episode.

Suddenly, there was a blinding white light.

"What the hell?!" shouted Robotnik as he tried to cover his eyes. When he unveiled his eyes, he saw the Freedom Fighters.

"Ow! Somebody's foot is in mah face!"

"Vell, somebody's vace is in my foot!"

"What are you all doing here?!" shouted Robotnik.

"..."

"..."

":O"

":0"

":l"

"Why are you guys looking at me like that?"

"Is tha Dragon Ball Super?" wowed Bonnie as she stared at the TV screen.

"...Yes." said Robotnik, "You watch it too?"

"Every Sunday!"

"But it's every Saturday, though." "I sleep early."

"OH. Wanna watch with me?"

"Sorry, I've gotta join in my friends' glaring at you."

"Why are you doing that anyway? Sure I may have robbed you of your families and your chances at living normal lives, but I've done WAY worse. Be grateful that I'm giving you a chance to live."

"But it doesn't seem like you have any of your robots with you at the moment." argued Boomer.

"That's what you think! Bots!" Robotnik called, waiting for the familiar sound of metal banging against each other.

A door revealed a few disfigured robots that's "Yes, sir." was quiet and slow-sounding. Then said robots slumped onto the floor like a racing athlete gasping for breath.

"Correction, our friend, Sonic, has destroyed your robot-friends." smirked Boomer.

"..." Robotnik's mouth was wide open with disbelief, "Um...Let's call a temporary truce, I've, er, got a solar-powered machine in the basement!"

"Wow, what zay nice midnight sky." said Antoine, followed by a laugh from his companions.

"Did you see Sonic by the way?" asked Sally.

"Nope, he's probably not even here right now."

"How can you tell?"

"Hey, seal-face!"

"Are you talking to me?" frowned Boomer. "You're a seal, aren't you?"

"I'm a walrus."

"Yeah yeah, and I'm Obama. Anyway, use that laptop to check for lifeforms aboard this complex."

Bleep. Bloop. Blop.

"There are only seven lifeforms here."

"Huh, where's Sonic's?" asked Rouge. "His is a bit faint, but his is near two others."

"What do you mean it's faint?" panicked Sally.

"Oh, he's just unconscious. By the way, I forgot that there's SEVEN lifeforms here. " said Boomer.

"And what about it?"

"...-_-..."

"OH. What's the other lifeform?"

"It's a life form that is a bit similar to Sonic's. It's somewhere upstairs."

"Oh, that? That's just Charles, my assistant."

"..."

"o-o"

"No way!" Sally said, "He's alive?"

"HE'S MY INSPIRATION!" Boomer said.

"Yeah, he's somewhere upstairs, CHARLES!" Robotnik said in a booming voice, making the whole room shake and, for some reason, the chair he was seating on squeaked.

Footsteps and a cheerful whistle came from upstairs. Then the sound of a trip. "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" the sound sang in tune with the plight of the stairs.

Then a cheerful whistle started again. "Yes, Mr. Robotnik?" Charles came in, then saw the Freedom Fighters. For some reason, he didn't look like he had fallen down the stairs at all.

"..."

"Charles!" Boomer shouted.

"Boomer!" The hedgehog ran to the walrus and hugged him, "It's been too long..."

"I didn't know you started supporting that… thing, though." said Sally.

"You think I wanted to? I was pretty forced to." Charles broke from his hug, "This guy makes me make every robot and mechanical system here!"

"Hey!" Robotnik said, surprised, as Bonnie's cannon met with his face.

"But." Charles started, "He saved me from death, so I guess I can thank him by doing this."

Bonnie reluctantly took away her cannon.

"Wait a second, how were you dying?" asked Boomer. "That, I cannot tell."

"Sonic told me part of it." said Sally, "Do you know where he is by the way?"

"Sonic told you part of it? So you think I'm going to tell you part of it as well? Note: it's a no, to both."

"You look like you've seen Sonic, though."

"I did," Charles started smiling, "Now I have some more faith in life."

"Where do you think he went?"

He chuckled, "You sound like an investigator. Well, I saw this, other Sonic that was dark all over, and had bandages around him. Then, Sonic challenged him to a battle, and then they went."

"Huh? Another Sonic? Vord help us." joked Antoine.

"Do you guys know about Zones?"

"...No." said Sally.

"Zones are basically another term for solar systems. They also mean places as well; but to put this simply, let's just use "zone" for solar systems." explained Rouge.

"The Dark Sonic, let's call him that, most likely came from another zone. And this zone must have had another Sonic." said Charles.

"Uh-huh." everyone else implied.

"Boomer, is there another energy sighting in Sonic's way?"

"Three, one's faint, another is rising, one is just still, but really bright. They're also similar by the way."

"3 Sonics, eh?" thought Charles as he went to sit on a red sofa facing the TV screen, "We should wait until the fight is over, then take action."

"What?! But Sonic might be in danger in there!" complained Sally.

"Which one?" said Charles, "Also, if we decide to take action now, there's no telling if they'll kill us."

"Then what can we do then?!"

"Oooh! Someone got knocked out~!" said Robotnik.

"Really! No way! Already?!" Bonnie jumped onto the couch.

"Let me see!" said Boomer as he crashed onto the chair near the couch.

"You guys…." Sally sighed.

- Dark vs Zonic -

"I would like it if you didn't scream so loud." said Zonic as he watched the darkness engulf Dark.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"I could shoot you right now and this will be all over with, you know."

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"So about zones…."

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Jeez, hedgehogs have large lungs." Zonic sat on the floor and waited for the transformation, remembering something in the meantime about what he used to be.

Intermission: (Usual song)

Essence of Bananaman : Welcome back to the 'Respond to Comments' Section, again.

Me: Unfortunately, I haven't received nothing but views.

Maybe it's because I tried to hard trying to get people to respond. Anyway, let's get on right back with the story. Unfortunately, another flashback is on its way!

End song.

A small blue hedgehog handled a small quill pen and tapped it in a continuous rhythm most like likely copying one of Chopin's works.Said hedgehog was looking out the window which gave a view of some others playing a game of soccer.

"Pass!" "Me! Me!"

"Don't touch me."

Many words from the field were managed into a slow whisper at the hedgehog's ears, making him sigh.

He straightened his glasses and continued on his work.

A few days letter, the hedgehog participating in an English Literature class and writing notes based on what the teacher was speaking about.

A few hours later, he was at PE, struggling at not becoming last.

"Hey! Hedgehog!" it was after school and the hedgehog was collecting his items from his locker. His face reluctantly turned to the voice of the speaker. "Wanna do my homework?" a tiger wearing a black jacket sniggered at him. Behind him was most of the school.

"Sorry, Toby, but I've got to go somewhere tonight, how about you ask someone else?"

"I didn't know you spoke Chinese." laughed the tiger, along with the others behind him.

"Look, I have to go now, my parents are waiting for me." The hedgehog mind-face-palmed himself as the crowd laughed.

"Nerdy-werdy want's his parents!" laughed Toby. Then his countenance changed, "Speak English."

"I. Said…...No…?"

"Wrong answer!" Toby swiftly dragged the hedgehog up by his quills.

"Toby...Not the quills…." The hedgehog croaked.

"What shall I do with him?" Toby turned to the crowd.

"Beat him up!"

"You guys do know me after all." laughed Toby as he repeatedly punched the hedgehog square in the face. Blow after blow.

To add insult to injury, Toby asked the most simple math questions in the world after each punch.

"What's 1+1?"

"2." Punch.

"What's 2+2?"

"4." Punch. This repeated again and again.

Eventually, they got to 250

"What's 125+125?"

"250." Punch.

"New record!" cheered the crowd.

"You guys….I just want to say… If we join forces…..We can beat Toby..." coughed the hedgehog

Toby turned the audience with a calm , intimidating, glare, causing silence.

"That's what I thought would happen." thought the hedgehog.

"Maybe you should stop hitting him, I think he's had enough." came a voice from inside the crowd. The sea of people departed and showed the rock in the sand, a shaking raccoon was shown.

"What did you say?" Toby walked towards the trembling target and dropped the hedgehog.

"N-N-Nothing sir." came a sturtting reply.

"Hey! He's getting away!"

Toby turned to the running hedgehog. "Hey! Come back here!"

The hedgehog ran and ran, trying to cut corners and trying to lose the tiger.

At one point, he entered a large forest and sighed a breath of relief at the fact that he had finally lost that bully. He collapsed on the floor, panting for the breath of life. He closed his eyes.Then opened them.

Suddenly, he felt renewed of energy. It was as if he had slept on his bed and got a well-deserved good night's sleep. He stood up and looked around him. Grey trees curled their leaves and the eerie night sky hid behind an abundance of clouds.

The hedgehog looked behind him and saw his large shadow, reaching the tree behind him.

"Wait a second, you don't get large shadows at a time like this." said the hedgehog. Suddenly, the sky turned blue and the powerful sun came out. The hedgehog shrugged and walked down the path of the forest. Then he realized he was lost. He paniced, then squeaked. It was a school day as well!

He ran and he ran, looking for a sign, any sign, that would help lead him back home. But this forest seemed endless, no, he just passed that red brick! He was walking in circles and circles! "

HELP!" He screamed. No one came to help him. He ran different routes but always ended up at that blue brick.

Who knew that he would be like Theseus, running in the maze? If he was the Theseus, then who was the Minotaur?

He tried NOT following the path but he kept on passing that yellow brick. Wait, yellow? He could swear he saw a blue one.No, he shook his head, he must be going crazy. He kept on running, trying to find a way.

Green brick.

Now it was weird.He had seen a red brick, a blue brick, a yellow brick and a green brick, that must be a sign that he's finding his way! But doubts started to run in his mind, telling him that there's no hope, that he would die here, and-

"Wait, why am I not tuckered out from all my running?" he questioned to no one in particular.

Suddenly, he felt his lungs gasping for breath. Weird. Then he realized he was in a dream.

He woke up. His body felt hot and heavy. His brain felt sluggish. His eyes were like weights.

"Where am I?" he looked around him and saw the great blaze of the trees surrounding him. A full-on real forest-fire. "Uh-oh."

He started digging the ground and throwing the dirt at the fire in hopes of putting it out. His efforts were futile. You need strength to get enough dirt to stop the flame. His panic started again. In fact, it was on a scale near a panic attack.

"Help!" The hedgehog's ears perked at the familiar grunt of Toby begging for help.

"T-T-Toby?!" he shouted. Suddenly, without warning, he started running towards the sound. He ran into the fire.

He felt his body burn. His legs were like the end of Sports Day. His throat begged for water. His lungs ached. Eventually, he reached the area of Toby's voice and saw a piece of grass that was untouched.

"Toby!" He cried, then he stopped. His eyes widened, his breaths became more fast and swift.

In front of him was the burning body of Toby The Tiger, flames blazing bright on his fur. Blood drying up. Eyes pouring out. The worst thing was, he wasn't the only one who was having their last breath. The hedgehog cried and cried and cried. Everything, everybody, was burning. The flames whispered the truth.

Everybody was dead. His parents were dead. His family were dead. His town was dead. His world was dead.

Then he collapsed into a panic attack.

A dark figure rose from the fire, thought to be one of the hedgehog's everybody. It was a small figure, about the blue hedgehog's height. He walked towards the collapsed figure with burn marks. "This. This is what happens when someone interferes with another zone."

The new figure was a black hedgehog, sporting a bit of red on his quills and fur on his chest. "You're a lucky one, at least you didn't have to watch your fanily die in front of you." The hedgehog picked up the blue one. "You're coming with me." Then disappeared.

- Present -

Zonic looked at himself, then stood up. "You ready yet?"

"HAAAAAAA!"

"I guess not." he smirked, then he took a gun from his pocket and took aim."I'm not going to let that happen again." He pressed the trigger, erupting a large beam of energy.

It was dodged.

"Don't you dare interrupt me when I'm powering up." snarled Dark.

"So you were done?" Zonic jumped back into action. He erupted a kick towards Dark's head, missed, then kicked with his other, missing again. "Missed me." Zonic's back-flip shot his opponent towards the sky. The hedgehog jumped-kicked his opponent to turn upside down and hammered him down. "I call it, Zonic Barrage." Zonic dodged away from a grab, then started running as Dark launched blasts of corrupted energy at him.

Zonic took out his laser whip and straightened it towards Dark's position. From his mouth, Dark launched a laser beam, causing a large explosion.

What erupted out of the smoke was a combo starter from the Zone Cop. He punched Dark in the gut, kicked him down unto his knees and kicked his head like it was a soccer ball, launching the hedgehog towards a mountain.

"Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew." The cop shot his gun rapidly.

"RAWR." Dark launched a large, black beam that was barely dodged by the hedgehog. Consecutive energy blasts soon followed after the smoke was cleared. Instead of running away from them, Zonic jumped over them, aiming to get more closer to Dark.

"Hey, Dark!"

"What?!"

"Eat this! Solar Beam!" Zonic took out his gun and launched a large, red beam of light. "Solar Powah!"

Fortunately, Dark didn't dodge and was severely hurt by the attack. "You'll pay for this!" He grudged, then looked as similar beam came back, in more than just one act. "Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP."

He jumped upwards, but the beams were like moles looking for worms. It was a very lucky thing that he could fly. He flew through holes and complicated patterns but the beams just kept on running after him.

The worst thing was, more were being added. He tried firing his beams of energy at them, but that just made them all the more powerful.

Then he got an idea.

He flew towards Zonic, smirking.

"Don't, try me." challenged Zonic. The dark man got really close to Zonic, then abruptly went up and back down.

"Ha!"

An explosion covered Zonic's position.

But out of it came something very surprising.

Zonic, covered in a red aura, came out of the smoke and a tucked in fist.

"Take, THIS."

Dark was too shocked to dodge and got knocked back by both Zonic's punch and the force times by the acceleration of the beams.

"You see," Zonic started as he watched his opponent cause a crack in the mountain, "The beams I fire off you are a mixture of solar energy and my own energy. About 1/8 of it is my own."

"That's sneaky." coughed Dark as he wiped away the spot of blood near his mouth.

"You're still up?" taunted Zonic, smirking as he did so.

"You're still talking?" Dark countered, then landed a blow onto Zonic's face. Then a kick, sending him up into the air. Another, flexible kick that kept the cop in the air. Then a great headbutt, sending him down into the ground. What followed after were a barrage of consecutive blasts. hand blasts. After a minute or so, he stopped.

The smoke revealed a shielded Zonic making faces at him.

"Don't you dare make fun of me!" Dark's power increased and his hay-maker cracked the Zone Cop's shield.

"Uh-oh."

The blow was enough to make a small crack in the hedgehog's head. Then, the dark Mobian grabbed hold of Zonic's quills and threw him with full force. Then, Dark charged a small beam of black lightning energy. Zonic saw this beam and managed to barely jump out of the targeting range; but the thing is, Dark can teleport. The blast hit him at full-force.

"How do you like that?" smirked Dark, then teleported in front of the still flying Zonic and crashed him down into the ground, causing a small, hedgehog-sized crater.

Everything ached. Zonic's whole body felt like it was carrying a rock. His arm was numb and dripping with blood. Zonic felt like he had lost at least one of his quills. His armour was shattered and ripped, his bubble helmet was unrecognizable. The only thing that was damaged was his hedgehog struggled to stand up; both mentally and physically.

"So, how do you feel?" said Dark, "Say dead." Zonic was grasping for the sweet breath of life, barely gripping on to the reins of consciousness.

"You..." He coughed out blood and weakly scratched his eye.

"'You', what?"

"You..." He coughed out more and more blood. Then his eyes dragged his consciousness around. He could be considered half-dead. He slowly grabbed the gun in his pocket and, with trembling hands, took aim.

"Go on, I dare you." Dark invited a shot at him. Zonic's hands couldn't even allow a bit of focus on the opponent's head. He thought about a course of action, what should he do? Should he shoot? Or should he spare a few minutes to get precious rest? He couldn't think, not with the pounding headache that was like a continuous siren. One eye was closed. Suddenly, he had the most perfect idea; but the risk was too high. Meh, he was already doing it anyway.

He shot Dark's open eye.

"ARGH! WHAT THE HELL?!" Dark covered his eye and screamed at the pure pain. With quick thinking, Zonic aimed for the unguarded other eye.

"ARGH!"

Zonic took this time of blindness to scout for a safe place. But was interrupted before he could take cover from behind a rock.

"I've never heard of a Sonic running away from a fight before."

Zonic turned towards the sound of the dark, edgy. familiar voice.

"Huh…." Zonic said as a weak smirk started on his face, "Nice to see yo- wait, who are you?"

The figure smiled, "You don't even remember? I'm your good friend, your father."

Zonic's eyes widened to anime-type.

- A Few Minutes Ago (In ?) -

A large figure was parkouring roof-to-roof on the buildings of an animalistic Manhattan.

"Get back here!" Came a shout from the person chasing behind him, shooting a few occasional lasers from his gun.

"I thought Zone Cops were nicer. Not wild animals." taunted the figure.

The Zone Cop growled and put his power-shoes into full power, enabling him flight.

The figure was at a speed of what he would call, a 'leisurely stroll'. In his hand has a small button device. To activate it, all he needed was someone with Zoneal Power. In other words, a Zone Cop. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any one with that source of power that would help him; because they would immediately try to arrest him. All their efforts had resulted in their deaths.

Except for this one, this one was a persistant one. "I'm going to kill you!" the cop shouted, occasionally firing laser beams that were dodged.

The question was, what could this small device do? Only the man knew. Well, the man and maybe those Zone Cops that had chased him. He was a wanted man, dead or alive. Didn't understand why he was wanted, though.

"How do you know what this device does?" he asked.

"What device?!"

Huh, that's weird. The man would just go to the world between zones and go into the Zone Cop Facility, then ask if they could press this button. Then get acused of 'breaking in'. If they didn't know what it could do, then why were they chasing him?

Slip.

His train of thoughts failed him at this crucial moments as he tripped over the ledge of one of the roofs of one of the most tallest buildings. He faced the ground that was about to be crowded by lots of people. They must have thought this man wanted to commit suicide!

Fortunately, though, they were far from right. Activating a secret gadget with a kissing of his teeth, a harpoon was sent to the nearest building. It hit a window, than became stiff.

"ARGH!" Insert Wilhelm Scream here.

The man was able to just barely hover above the ground and was launched into the air. "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He screamed as he felt the adrenaline crashed down into his body. After a show-off back-flip, with kiss of his tongue, he activated a jetpack, rising about over 400ft in the air.

"You're not going to escape from me!" The Zone Cop was back again. Realizing that his jet pack wasn't faster than his feet, he pressed the button on his small device and opened a Zone Portal. He entered it while whistling his favorite theme song (Naruto's Theme).

Ping!

The man had entered into an unknown world, again. Note that he only used a small percentage of the device's power as he didn't have any Zonal Power. He opened another Portal and another, and another, making the Zone Cop chasing him lost and in confusion.

"Where's that damn hedgehog?"

- Present -

Zonic coughed a bit more blood at utter shock of this man. Really? His father? "You're joking, my father's dead!"

"Your, fake father!" The figure jumped onto the ground and smirked an inspiring smile. "Your real name is actually Sonic! But your mother decided to lure me away from you!"

"Why?" said Zonic.

"Beacuse!" He pointed at himself, "She said I was a bad influence on you!"

"Mom was a wise woman."

"ANYWAY, I just want you to do a little something for me!" He brang out his device, "Just click this button!"

"...Why?" said Zonic, unconvinced, "Is it a bomb or something?"

"Just do it! The fate of the multiverse (and the future) rests on it!" the man's countenance suddenly changed into something akin to Zonic's serious face.

"When you put it like that..." Zonic's hand came to, weakly, press the button.

"Stop!" Everyone's head, except the unconscious Sonic, came to the new voice.

"Z-Zhadow!" cried out Zonic.

"Yep, it's me." Suddenly, the Zone Cop took a black pistol from pocket and aimed it at his accomplice, "Press that button and you're gone."

Zonic was completely taken aback by this slight-betrayal. "W-What?!"

"This man is wanted for the murder of 30 Zone Cops. 30 good friends."

"Is that true, Dad?"

The man suddenly took on the most guilty conscience ever known, "Well, I may have made a few people visit death early..."

"Rumours say that if people are killed in the Between-Zone, you cannot go to Heaven or Hell. You just disappear." Zonic's mouth was dropping.

"T-That might be false! Anyway, press the button!"

"Don't!"

"The multiverse depends on it!"

"I'm not hesitant to kill you right here, right now."

"What is going on here?" whispered Dark as he sweat-dropped at the argument in front of him.

"TELL ME WHAT IT DOES, OLD MAN." Shouted Zonic.

"I can't!"

"WHY?!" said both the Zone Cops.

"STOP SHOUTING AT ME!"

- At Robotnik's Base -

"Hey, lookie here." said Boomer all of a sudden.

Everyone's attention reluctantly turned to Boomer.

So far (Dragon Ball Super Spoilers), Universe 4 and Universe 10 had been erased. (End Spoilers) "2 more life-forms have appeared on the location stated by N.I.C.O.L.E."

"Wow..."

"Amazing..."

"Out of this world..."

"Guys! Don't you think there's something weird going on? 3 of the lifeforms are 3 different Sonics, one is related to the faint one, another is related only in race."

"What happened to ze bright one?" asked Antonie. "It's still bright, the faint one just got fainter."

"Sonic's dieing?" Sally panicked.

"Hey, you said it."

"OOH!" Everyone's attention was instantly back to the TV screen.

- At The Battlefield -

"Zonic, you've got 2 choices, do and die, or don't and live." said Zhadow, "I think the most smartest option is number 2."

"You're heartless Zhadow..." sweat-dropped Zonic.

"Just press the button!" encouraged the man.

"We Zone Cops don't know what that kind of thing can do, it was able to cause a Zone Portal; this can probably destroy a Zone." said Zhadow.

"DON'T IGNORE ME!" Suddenly, Dark came out of nowhere and barged into Zhadow.

"Now!"

Suddenly, without a thought in the world, Zonic pressed the button and felt a large surge of pain.

"Good boy..." The man congratulated.

Then everything when white.

Expecting a bit more? Well, here's an announcement; not like Akatsuki Tokusentai's though. This chapter signifies the end of Part 0.5. They'll be a true Part 1 for this story, though; but it's not going to come out, INSTANTLY.

Legend says there'll be a Part 0.5. Special as Chapter 14.

Bye!
