Author's Note: There Isn't going to be much focus on romance (at least not until much later).
I want to develop relationships between all of them first. In case you want to ask, Fleetway's Robotnik already got consumed by the Chaos Vortex in an undisclosed adventure that was mentioned in "Exit: Sonic" (not sure if I'll include him later). So Fleetway Sonic's going to decide to stick around for the fun of it (as he also gets bored easily, and he's expecting Amy and Tekno to trace him and come pick him up sooner or later).
The rest of the Fleetway cast will come much later in this, but how I still don't know (like I said, I'm making it up as I go).
The reason Sonic wasn't shocked by Robotnik's presumed return earlier was because he always expects him to find some way to get back and haunt him before he can find a way to get Dr. Kintobor back.
Anyways, welcome to the next chapter of "The Fleetarch Conundrum"!
[leaving off from where we were in the last chapter]
Sonic #2: [looks at him smiling] "After all, nobody knows that better than you."
[Sonic drops the pole and looks at him wide eyed and extremely shocked with tears flowing down his face, and a big smile while Eggman screams at the top of his lungs]
Sonic: [closes his eyes and laughs with tears of joy like he found out he won the lottery] Looks like I was right! Luck really is on my side of the Universe after all!
Dr. Eggman: [grinds his head in frustration] "WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME! Why is fate toying with me every time I try to get my way with you of all creatures! Why! Why! WHY!"
Sonic: [kicks him over the head] Because we're the Good Guys and you're not!
Eggman: [tries to punch him in a desperate attempt to get a shot] WAAAHHHH!
*BONK*
[Eggman is hit at the side of his head and knocked unconscious by none other than Sally as he was distracted with his anger]
Sally: [holding a makeshift bat made of metal] "You really should keep an eye on your surroundings Doctor!"
[Sonic then runs into her and hugs her as tightly as possible as he begins silently sobbing]
Sally: [with a surprised look on her face] "Sonic? what are…"
Sonic: [continuing to sob] "Y-You have no idea… h-how happy I am… right n-now…"
Sonic #2: [whistles at them, surprising them both] "Oy! I Don't mean to ruin it, but we need to get out of here while this thing's still NOT crashing down with us in it!"
Sonic: [realizes that his work isn't exactly one yet] *exhales* "You're right!"
Sonic: [with a serious look on his face] "Listen both of you! I don't have time to explain what exactly is going on, nor can I exactly explain why he showed up here. But all you two need to know is one thing at this very moment."
[proceeds to walk out of the room with a still unconscious Eggman in it, and looks at them both seriously]
"I know what's going to happen for the next week, and how to prevent most of it."
[Sally looks at him wide-eyed while Sonic #2 gazes at him with some curiosity as they proceed down the hall to a room full of destroyed badniks (thanks to Sonic #2 earlier)]
Sally: "But what about Eg-"
Sonic: [raises his hands up] "He's not our priority right now Sal, there's a far worse threat outside at the moment. And besides, Eggman's going to be out of commission for a while with the Death Egg heavily damaged."
Sally: [looks at him questionable] "But, don't you think w-"
Sonic: [puts one hand up this time] "I know what I am doing Sally, I went through this once, we can't risk somebody breaking him out of prison now. Not until we're sure his entire army's done for. Trust me, I should know."
[Sally looks at him surprised for saying something smart for once, while Sonic #2 nods and gently lifts his thumb up]
Sonic #2: "Mate's got a point Ginger. You can't kidnap the Queen when the whole hive is ready to attack you."
Sally: [looks annoyed at him] "I don't like being called that… Could you drop it!?"
Sonic #2: "Didn't take you as the precious type "Ginger", and here I thought not all royalty's-"
Sonic: "Anyways! Care to elaborate how a good-looking guy like you ended up here, why this room is trashed, and why you sound like Geoffrey?"
Sonic #2: "Right back at ya, but don't butter me up just yet. I'll tell you my side as soon as we get out of this giant bot-infested oven."
Sally: [looks with a smile] "Listen, I didn't have chance to thank you earlier for-"
[Sonic sticks his hands out to warn them to stop, because now they're back in the hole they made, and the room is full of badniks]
Sonic: "We can thank each other later, but now we got more bots to smash if we hope to get out of here."
Sonic #2: [looks annoyed at them] "Please mate! These toys aren't worth their weight in scrap metal! I can take them all on in 5 seconds!"
Sonic: [looks at him with a smirk] Want to bet?
[they get ready in their battle stances as the bots come closer to them]
Sonic #2: "The one who smashes the least pays for lunch!"
Sonic: "Deal!"
Sally: [looks at them both annoyed and relieved while muttering to herself] "Some things never change, do they?"
[they smash up all the robots, ranging from Egg SWATs, to Turtloids and Egg Mites. It was over in 15 seconds. Sonic #2 scores 27, Sonic scores 19, while Sally scores 14 with the pole she kept from earlier]
Sonic #2: [with a satisfied look] "I hope you're a man who keeps his deals pretty boy, because If I should know me, it's that I'm a Very Sore Loser."
Sonic: [looks at him annoyed] "Fine, but only if you teach me that Cyclone thing you did!"
[The Sonic Cyclone is a move exclusive to the Fleetway Sonic, wraps everything up in either a condensed Cocoon, or a powerful Tornado by moving faster than light.]
Sonic #2: "I suppose fair is fair, I can't have a version of me not knowing that, now can I?"
Sally: [whistles at them and looks at them with an impatient expression] "Hello! Can you two continue worshipping each other later?! Tails is right outside the hole!"
Sonic and Sonic #2 in unison: "Tails?"
[they get to the hole and look down to see the Yellow Fox sitting in a blue plane waiting for them]
Sonic #2: [smirks] Glad to know this place has a Tornado as well!
'I wonder how different little Pixel-Brain is in this dimension…'
Tails: "JUMP NOW! I CAN'T STAY LIKE THIS FOR LONG!"
Sonic: [grabs #2 and Sally's hands] "Are you guys ready?"
[Sonic #2 and Sally both nod and say Yes]
Sonic: "LOOK OUT BELOW!"
[As soon as they land on the wing, Sally gets into the passenger seat while both Sonics remain on the wing]
Tails: [looks at them both in shock] "WHAT! But how… Who?!"
Sonic #2: "Got whizzed up there from another dimension little guy, I helped these two out on the way."
Tails: [Looks surprised at Sonic] "How do you know we can trust him?! For all we know he's another Metal!"
[Sonic #2 just shrugged knowing that someone was bound to have doubts but was a little surprised that this world's Tails seems a bit sharper. Sonic looked at Tails with a smile while Sally thought about it for a moment]
Sonic: [with a calm smile] "Because he saved Sally from her worst nightmare."
[Sally looked at him wide-eyed while Tails and Sonic #2 looked at him confused]
Sonic: "I'll tell you as soon as we land. Right now, we need to stop Titan Metal Sonic!"
Sally and Tails, both shocked in unison: "WHAT!"
Sonic #2: [looks intrigued] "Sounds serious… Is this supposed to be a giant Metallix or something?"
Sonic: "If by "Metallix" you mean a giant Red Muscular Metal Sonic Giant used to try and destroy New Mobotropolis as a distraction so the Egg Legion can escape, then Yes!"
[Tails and Sally looked very worried for a moment while Sonic #2 thinks up something quick]
Sonic #2: "Here's a suggestion you two… You know where it will land, right?"
Sonic: [scratches his ear and looks at him] "Yep!"
Sonic #2: "I want you to keep us close to that landing zone so I can be ready to land behind his neck so I can scramble his internal circuitry."
Sally: [looks at him angry and shocked] "Are you Crazy?! That's suicide!"
Tails: [nods with her] "I agree with her, even if you had a means to do it, for all we know, there's no way to access its internal mainframe!"
Sonic #2: "Calm down you two! I've taken down worse things than a giant City Wrecker. I'll just go with the flow as always! Besides, he'll be coming with me!"
[points at Sonic]
Sonic: [smirks and looks to the side] "Of course I will. But why?"
Sonic #2: "Let me ask you a question… Have you ever tried vibrating your body so fast, you could pass through anything?"
[Sally looks wide-eyed, while Tails remembers when he and Sonic were stopping that Train way back then]
Sonic: [looks at him a bit surprised] "Yes, but that's extremely dangerous, even for me. I don't think that's a good idea in this case."
Sonic #2: [laughs a bit, smiles and looks at him] "Your first lesson Private! When we land on him, I'll teach you how to do that with absolute precision, so you'll never mess up!"
[Sonic looks shocked at him, wondering if it's even possible]
Sonic: "How?-"
Sonic #2: [raises his hand up] "I used it a bit more often than you mate. I've had years of experience to perfect it."
[everyone looks a bit shocked at him]
"Now you say you know what's going to happen, right?"
Sonic: [looks at him with his shoulders up] "Yeah!"
Sonic #2: "I suggest you tell us what's going to happen next, while we think of a plan on the way."
Sonic: [smirks and blinks] "Get ready to listen everybody…"
[They're all done strategizing. Sally and Tails are surprised by the things Sonic said will happen, and they're just about done coming up with a plan to prevent Naugus from gaining any fame from this. They all wondered just how exactly experienced this other Sonic is before he interrupted their thoughts.]
"Heads Up Pixel-Brain! He's Coming Down!"
Tails: "Wha-"
*THUD*
[now the scene shows a big menacing red Muscular combination of an Egg-SWAT and a Metal Sonic that towered over the entire city while everyone was preparing to take it down. Big Protected Vanilla, Cream and Cheese on the ground, Bunnie jumped out to try and get it, while Naugus is getting ready to win the popular vote of the masses by stopping it himself]
[What they didn't see was a blue airplane from where two blue figures jumped out behind its neck while Sally was standing by ready to tackle Naugus as soon as he gets swatted on the ground like Sonic told her.]
[while they were standing behind his neck]
Sonic #2: "Are you ready for this!"
Sonic: [deadpan expression] "Ready as I'll ever be!"
Sonic #2: [holding on to his neck and getting ready to vibrate] "Remember! Pace it to keep yourself stable!"
Sonic: [gives thumbs up] "Got It!"
[They both proceeded to vibrate inside of the robot while he was stomping the city below as people screamed. Bunnie and Naugus were both flying side-by-side as they were closing in.]
Bunnie: "This scene is gruesome enough without you here, too!"
Naugus: "Curb up your insolence and help me destroy this menace!"
[they tried shooting it down to no avail while Titan slapped Naugus out of the sky to the ground below while landing on his feet]
Naugus: [channeling pink magic into his staff] "No, it's not too hard for me to defeat! Silence! I can handle it! I'll show you!"
[getting ready to fire his crystal blast]
"I'LL SHOW Y-"
*BONK*
Sally: [holding the metal pole a bit intigued] "Hey, I'm pretty good at this…"
[While Sally managed to knock him out, his trajectory was still enough to hit Bunnie while missing the Golem]
[Meanwhile inside of it, both Sonics found the Control Panel in the head]
Sonic: "How convenient! He didn't think any of us could come in here."
Sonic #2: "What a day to be confident!"
[It was a sizeable round room that looked like a spaceship control center with two sets of controls for both halves of the brain. They both took their seats with a grin]
Sonic #2: "So, you're saying the death egg will fire a beam, and the only thing stopping it is this thing?"
Sonic: "Uh-huh… Just get ready to bail as soon as they fire it."
Sonic #2: "Way ahead of you mate."
[everyone was scrambling in the Death Egg trying to diffuse the situation in the control room, while an angry Eggman, sitting in the center with a lump on his head, began giving various orders]
Dr. Eggman: [angrily] "That city has menaced me for the last time! Get ready to fire the Annihilator Beam on New Mobotropolis Now!"
Snively: "…We're heavily danaged and Already Running Low on…"
Eggman: [pulls him up to his face menacingly] "Don't question my orders! DO THEM!"
[Snively is very scared of him at this moment, so he proceeds to fire it]
[as the beam fires, the Titan jumps in its way, sparing the city. Everyone looked completely shocked at this while Cream was rushing in to rescue a crystalizes Bunnie from a giant piece of the Titan]
Vanilla: [looks for a pulse on Bunnie] "Oh, my goodness! Quickly, Mr. Big… We must take her to Dr. Quack."
Big: [takes her] "Okay. I will hurry."
[Cream goes for the rest the rest of her crystalized hand while she notices something in the wreckage]
Cream: "I'll bring her—Oh! Somebody dropped their doll!"
[before she could pick the Tails Doll up, a hand grabs hers and yanks her to his side]
Sonic: "Don't touch it Cream, it's cursed!"
Cream: [surprised at seeing him] "Mr. Sonic? But wh-"
Sonic #2: "Listen to the man kid, he's telling the truth"
[before she could recover from her shock of seeing a second Sonic, he runs fast to the doll, throws it to the ground, and shatters its red diamond before it can activate, it shrieks before dying down completely]
Sonic: [Covers her mouth] "Before you ask, the doll was a trap by Eggman, he's me from another dimension, and he's here to help.
[Sonic let's her go and pushes her back gently]
Sonic: "I'll explain later, you better run to Bunnie Cream, she's going to need that hand!"
[Cream proceeds to run while Cheese flies behind her, she looks back for a brief moment]
Cream: "Thank you Mr. Sonic!"
Both say in unison: "You're welcome!"
Sonic: [points a finger] "Jinx! Buy me a Drink."
Sonic #2: "Don't think this will get you out of your little loss earlier."
Sonic: [crosses his arms and smirks] "Who cares… We just saved the day, you're teaching me a few sweet moves, and… there's a big ugly wizard standing behind you."
[Naugus proceeds to levitate them both while trying to choke them]
Naugus: "You Insolent Whelps! You ruined my one good chance of consoling the masses! I'll send you to the zone and make sure you rot for the rest of-"
*BONK*
[he was once again unconscious thanks to Sally and that pole]
Sally: "I can't believe he fell for that a second time."
[Both Sonics are on the ground gasping for air while Sonic Prime recovers]
Sonic: "I can't believe how*cough*good you *cough*are at this Sal…"
Sally: "I thought the same thi-"
[proceeds to hug her]
Sonic: "I'm just glad that you're safe… Speaking of which!"
[he begins to walk to Sonic #2 while sticking out his hand]
Sonic: [looking in the eyes with a smile] "I am deeply indebted to you. You have no idea how grateful I am for this."
Sonic #2: [looks with a slightly surprised expression] "You're welcome, I guess… I just did it because I can't stand to watch people die around me."
Sonic: "You and me both…"
[Sally still doesn't fully understand why Sonic is so grateful that he saved her, so she tries to ask]
Sally: "Sonic? Why ar-"
Sonic: [raises his hand] "You know what Nicole told you about the risk of stopping the roboticizer Sal?"
Sally: [surprised] "Yeah?!"
Sonic: "In that future I lived through, You were roboticized, force to fight us for Eggman against your will, and the last I saw of you was your deactivated body next to Silver who travelled back to stop you just before Eggman succeeded in recreating another Genesis Wave."
Sally: [too shocked to stop twitching for 10 seconds] "Wha…"
Sonic: "That's the long and short of it, but the fact that I'm here means that I won. The only thing different in this timeline is you somehow coming to this place.
[points finger to Sonic #2]
"But there's no other side-effects so far, so we'll be able to get you back home safely as soon as we access the Cosmic Highway and-"
Sonic #2: [raises his hand] Don't jump to conclusions yet mate! I saw how much excitement you have here, I've been itching to stretch my calves for months now! Either both Amy and Tekno will come pick me up soon, or you might need my help in the end anyway!"
[Sally and Sonic looked conflicted about this, but Sonic decided to break the Ice]
Sonic: [contemplates] "Well… If it's going to be so, I might as well introduce you to everyone. It's all on you if a Zone Cop catches you outside your jurisdiction."
Sonic #2: "What's a Zone Cop?"
[Sonic, looking at him a bit shocked, could already tell that it was going to be a long exchange]
[Eggman is sitting at a big square table with Snively, Lien-Da and the rest of the Dark Legion]
Dr. Eggman: "We got a big problem at the moment!"
[proceeds to show the footage of both Sonics, everyone looks shocked at it]
Snively: "Mother of Pearl…"
Lien-Da: "Unbelievable…"
Dr. Eggman: "We need to get rid of both of these Stains, lucky for you all, I have a plan…"
That's where I'll end this chapter. The last part was a bit rushed because I'm not an expert on overly convoluted dialogue (and it's tedious to copy parts of the comic). I'm planning on continuously improving the previous chapters as I make more anyway.
Not sure when the next one is coming out, but I'll be happy to answer your questions if you have some. I want to at least wait until this story gets picked up a bit.
Evil Super Sonic will appear when the time is right. Don't you worry about that…
