6 YEARS LATER
San Francisco, California and in a huge corporate building was the headquarters of Robotnik Industries a robotics and weapons manufacturing company that was a primary contractor for the United States government's main military and espionage force the Guardian Unit of the Nation or GUN for short. At the top of the building was a giant representation of the company's logo was a bald headed man with a big smiley grin and an oversized moustache.
Seated in the main office was a rotund blonde haired man with dark sunglasses, a brown bushy moustache and a dark red longcoat who was reading Mein Kampf while frowning; he was Dr Julian Robotnik the founder and president of Robotnik Industries. "Enter." He said simply after hearing a knock on the door. Then entered was a girl looking around 10 years old with spiky brown hair and goggles with dark blue lenses and a yellow and black labcoat holding a portable computer. She was his daughter Agatha Robotnik and despite her young age, she was his 2nd in command in the company.
"Father, I take it that the testing of the mech did not go well?" Agatha asked hesitantly as Robotnik closed his book shut and looked towards her.
"No it did not, we have yet to be able to get it to even half of the power needed to get it operational, just 40%! I got a call from the Board of Directors that they have voted to cut funding to most of my projects, they say that unless we are in direct war the world has no need for my big ideas! The nerve of them and I hear of the news more protests against me! I have grown beyond any other human being in my research in the realm of robotics and yet they condemn me for speaking in favour of animal testing! Don't they realise what discoveries that the field has given us!" Robotnik ranted with barely constrained fury as Agatha took a step back at his ranting. "So daughter, what have you disturbed my reading to report?" Robotnik asked as Agatha went and gave him the device.
He looked perplexed as he and then grinned as he examined further, "This could be just the answer to the power source enigma that I was looking for! Go and contact GUN to put together an expedition to the island, the potential of a new power source should be more than enough to convince them to sign off on it." Robotnik ordered her and she nodded as she then left.
3 DAYS LATER
Washington, DC and at the GUN headquarters building, waiting outside an office was an unhappy man with orange hair, sunglasses and a dark blue military suit with a tie. He was Captain John Westwood and he had been previously under the rank of Colonel and up for a promotion to the rank of Brigadier General but had been recently demoted and was under probation. Among the agents there was an aged man in a grey military uniform who was Commander Abraham Tower along with Agatha.
"Why is there a kid here?" Westwood snarked as Agatha glared at him along with Tower as he went and sat down.
"For your information Captain Westwood, this here is Agatha Robotnik the daughter of Dr Julian Robotnik and is the vice president of Robotnik Industries. She was legally emancipated by her father and has passed business classes to be allowed her position in the company." Tower explained to him even though in his thoughts he wasn't too keen on her having such power and authority in such a big company as well.
"Thank you Commander, father has put together an expedition to this island that we have recently discovered and could be home to a potential power source. One that we theorise could help solve the world's energy problems. GUN Director Charlemagne has authorised a mission with GUN Personnel as back up, security and escort as we track down and claim this power source." Agatha said as she brings up using her personal computer a holographic display of a map of the waters where the island is located.
"You may be thinking this must be an island in uncharted territory but on the contrary, this area has been charted with no evidence of the island's location until just a few days ago. Father had found an energy signature had been picked up by satellite 6 years ago but we have only now been able to triangulate its position, thanks to more pressing matters at the time and by the time we started actively looking for it had gotten faint." Agatha explained and Westwood scoffed.
She then showed a hologram blueprints of tall black and white robots with long limbs and cannon for arms. "We also want to have this be a field test for the new E-101 series Beta robots. For scoping out areas and eliminating threats. Between your troop and my father's inventions, this mission shall be a simple endeavour?"
"So you basically want me to babysit you and your father as you both journey to an island that has appeared as if by magic? Plus you got these fancy robots that you haven't really even tested yet?" Westwood asked as Agatha and Tower both glared at him. "Commander Tower Sir, please I am capable for much than this, my record shows that..." Westwood said getting up from his seat but Agatha interrupted him.
"I have seen your record Captain Westwood and it more than speaks for itself; you were brought in to rescue hostages from the terrorist group known as REM and you decided to play action heroics and gotten half of the hostages killed and more severely injured. Your legal team spent some time convincing you to drop your attempts at appealing the verdict of your hearing saying that you were lucky that you were not kicked out permanently." Agatha spoke up and Westwood furiously looked towards her.
"Stand down and know your place Captain Westwood, with your recent stunt you will need to earn your way back and I suggest that you get ready because this mission will go a long way if you want to get back to where you were before." Tower warned him and Westwood sat back down grumbling.
On Mobotropolis and while the citizens have gotten older not much had changed around the city in the years passed since the entire island had been unknowingly sent to another planet. Whizzing through the busy streets of the city was a blue blur as the now 14 year old Sonic was grinning in his red and white sneakers and white gloves while running through the streets. The now 8 year old Tails was flying in the air using his two tails to propel himself and fly acting as helicopter blades trying to keep up with his brother.
The chilli dog stand got out a few chilli dogs and Sonic went past him with the Chilli Dogs disappearing but money to pay for them left on the counter. Sonic gulped them up but saved one as he tossed in the air for Tails to claim for himself. The guards at the gate to the palace saw the blue blur coming and then opened the gate for the both of them as they had managed to do with plenty of practice.
In the palace Sally had grown up and now 14 years old was wearing a golden tiara long with a dark purple dress with her red hair cut short. An advisor was talking to her about upcoming duties and Sally sighed at the list of them, while she did take her duties as heir to the throne seriously she did prefer to have fun and exciting activities with her friends.
She smiled as she saw Sonic and Tails walk up to her, "We are here to make your acquaintance your highness." Sonic said stepping on one knee and kissing Sally's hand making her laugh as he always was the joking type.
"HI Sally, we wanted to know if you wanted to come over later in the week as we wanted to play about our side of the Island. Sonic wants to practice how fast he can go around the loops while collecting the Rings." Tails told her and Sally looked to the advisor silently asking. The advisor looked to his notes and gave a thumbs up seeing a day where she was mostly free.
"Then it's settled, watch me show you that speed isn't everything!" Sally told Sonic with a smirk and he gave a look in return that basically said to bring it on.
Just like in Ultimate Sonic the idea of using the fanon Eggatha character was also used by Nintendoman01 for the story Tales of Sonic the Hedgehog so while I wasn't thinking of the story when I got my own ideas for the character; credit there for the idea being used there as well. I gave Westwood from the Sonic X comics the first name of John. The name REM came from one of the short lived miniseries that Archie did for Nights into Dreams. Planning on having this story be a shared universe with some other SEGA properties.
Robotnik reading Mein Kampf is me deciding to go all the way in having Robotnik being cartoony evil despite his demeanour and his reasoning in his head.
