Important notes: in this fic the events of underground take place before the first game. This story… I had to write will take place after the sonic hero and before shadow.
It was done.
They had finally done it, they have finally won the war against the Tyrannic Dr Ivo Robotnik.
He couldn't believe it, it only felt like yesterday when Sonic and his siblings, finally met their long lost mother, Queen Aleena. Who revealed that said had set E.M.P charges all over Robotropolis and when coupled with the Music of their medallions would create a citywide blacked out, that would cut off all Power from the buildings to the factories and even the Swatbots.
It was a plan, 14 years in the making and together with the help of the Freedom Fighter, they were able to take back the city.
All that was left the siege of the Palace and the chaotic fight between the Freedom Fighters and Robotnik remaining forces. In truth this final battle was but a race against time as while they fight the doc and his mercenary generals, Sleet and Dingo tried to get the power back on.
Unfortunately, when in a race against time. One should never do it against the fastest thing alive. And so, Sonic was able to get there in time, subduing the two flunkies and leaving him with the so-called final boss.
"Beat up on my henchmen all you like a hedgehog but know that it's is all in vain," he remembered the pompous tyrant saying."You cannot stop the generator from reactivating it and once it is back the entire of my forces will sweet into the city destroy your pathetic revolution! And when they do, I can't see that arrogant smirk replaced with a look of pure to spare before I roboticized you and the rest of your annoying hedgehog family!"
He was not wrong, the generator was minutes away from reactivating and he knows that he couldn't turn it off. So, he sided to turn it to give it a boost. And so even using his speed to supercharge the generator making it explode and having it take out a large chunk of Palace.
Sonica was going to have a Field day with him, but he didn't care he just won the war from everyone. Everyone was free again, no more Buttnik, no more Sleet and Dingo trying to catch them, no more robots, no more roboticized.
No more war, no more Freedom Fighting. No more adventure.
No more Sonic Underground.
Sonic stop before looking right outside of the absolutely humongous hole he just made and found a massive crowd made up of freedom fighters, the noble and the undersider all of whom were formed around the Royal family.
His family.
And then it has finally done on him that he was no longer the Repel Prince of a long-gone monarchy but the crowd Prince and in their minds the one day king of all of Mobius. And to Sonic, the idea of being king was a horrible fate. To never be able to go anywhere, to never again go on an adventure or to be himself again.
He would be trading away his freedom away for theirs.
And that's no good.
Who said you have to. Said a thought popped into his head, one that would change his life forever: No one knows that you have survived, all that you have to do is sneak out while they're celebrating you.
Sonic pause, he shouldn't be thinking like that. It was such a ridiculous thought. He should be celebrating with his newly whole family instead of thinking of tearing it apart. But for some reason, that little thought was just enough of a push that he needed, and he turned abruptly on his heel, heading back the way he had come.
Sonia and Manic will be fine without me , he assured himself. But before he left, he turned back to the hole and looking out at his siblings.
Sonia was pretty much from birth for this types of thing and, Manic's a quick learner. And if they're not Mom will just teach them the ropes then. He thought looking down up his mental assurances, find it looking more like a chain than the symbol of their bond.
"They will make better rulers than I ever well." He said before taking it off and gently placing and onto the ground.
Prince Sonic Hedgehog was now just Sonic the Hedgehog, bid his final goodbye as he made his leave from his old life to his new one. One of infinity fun and endless possibilities, one where he was Prince only to wind.
Seen done, welcome to what I hope is the first chapter in a 20 short story.(Fun fact: the whole EMP and Sonic destroying the generator is a reference to the UK Sonic comics)
I hope you enjoyed this story and don't worry they will get longer, this is just to flex my creative muscles.
I'm Deusex sighing out!
