WOW! It's been awhile since I last posted anything! But I decided to start writing again, and once I started on this story I just couldn't stop! A lot has happened throughout the years, but after I saw the "Sonic The Hedgehog Movie," I loved it so much that of course I wanted to do something with it! I started researching past Sonic media and I quickly grew to fall in love with all the characters, and I am even more hyped about "Sonic The Hedgehog 2!" As I began thinking of ideas for how to incorporate the Sonic characters in other stories, as I usually do when obsessed with a fandom, I also recently saw "King of Thorn" and just began imagining scenarios for fun, until I realized just how well the Sonic lore actually fits into this storyline and before I knew it, I had an entire plan for how to make it work! This story technically incorporates multiple personality aspects from a bunch of different Sonic media, so however you want to perceive each character, whether it be movie Sonic, Sonic x, or Sonic Underground, etc. is all up to you. I'm also including Sonic Underground characters as well, so if you don't know them, you can look them up. Spoilers as well to anyone who has not seen "King of Thorn," I highly recommend you go watch it before reading this, but you also don't have to... especially if you're squeamish, cause this is gonna be a little darker than most Sonic stories.

I DO NOT OWN EITHER FRANCHISE. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS OWNED BY SEGA AND KING OF THORN BY YUJI IWAHARA; THE FILM FALLING UNDER THE RIGHTS OF FUNIMATION ENTERTAINMENT.


The planet Mobius, a planet inhabited by both humans and mobians, an anthropomorphic species of animals, an overall peaceful planet… at least it was until 3 years ago, when on December 12th, year 2012, an outbreak of a global-wide virus was officially declared as a nation-wide emergency. The virus, referred to as "Chaos," is classified as a highly infectious disease, named so due to its random and devastating emergence, with the cause of the outbreak still being unknown. So far, scientists and medical professionals alike have been able to deduce the signs of infection as well as the process of the symptoms: at stage 1, the disease incubates within the body from 30-60 days after the body is infected, followed by stage 2, where after a period of 12 hours the color of the body dulls until it turns grey and promptly turns to ash, leading to stage 3; the fatality rate… is 100%. The number of casualties have only continued to rise, and any possible cures still have yet to be discovered, thus beginning to throw the state of the world into mass panic and as tribute to the disease's name, chaos. However, one day an announcement was made by Professor Gerald Robotnik, the head researcher and CEO of a major chemical manufacturer Venus Gate, in a broadcasted company press conference.

Gerald – Given the unprecedented crisis that now faces us, I have decided it is time for this corporation to fulfill its duty to society and unveil the top-secret project we have been working on. That project is, "cold sleep."

In response to the news, Mobius' world-wide military and law-enforcement organization known as the Guardian Units of Nations, or G.U.N. for short, had called a meeting with the planet council, composed of both humans and mobians alike.

Human Council Member – So you're saying it's highly likely that Chaos is an act of bioterrorism perpetrated by Venus Gate?

Commander Towers – Yes.

Commander Towers, the head of G.U.N., was sitting at the far end of the rectangular conference table, facing all the members of the council as he presented his case.

Mobian Council Member – That sounds a little far-fetched.

Commander Towers – Venus Gate is one of the planet's largest chemical manufacturers and even owns top-notch medical-related corporations, yet it hasn't announced any new products for several years now. Meanwhile, they've been collecting biological samples all over the world and preserving them in their facility.

Pictures of what looked to be a castle upon an edge of land next to the ocean along with files were shown sitting upon the table as well.

Human Council Member – And this is their cold sleep facility?

Commander Towers – On the outside, yes. On the inside, it's more like a heavily-secured fortress.

Female Mobian Council Member – But, as you say, we're talking about one of the biggest chemical manufacturers here. They've donated a huge amount of money to each successive ruling party.

Commander Towers – Venus Gate's biggest shareholder is a cult proclaiming the end of times.

Human Council Member 2 – So you're saying this facility is a sort of "Noah's Ark"?

Commander Towers – And Gerald Robotnik, the CEO, was once a lead scientific investigator for G.U.N.'s underground station. However, at some point he began uttering absurdities and was eventually relieved of his position.

Human Council Member – What sort of absurdities?

Towers was silent for a moment before his eyes narrowed, his expression mostly still neutral but with a hint of unsettlement showing through.

Commander Towers – "I have been chosen. I have found the path to God."

The broadcast of Gerald Robotnik's announcement was shown once more.

Gerald – The reduced metabolic rate during cold sleep can slow the processes of illnesses. Our research has shown that this holds true for Chaos as well. A patient can now relax in an indefinitely long sleep and travel toward the day in the future when a cure is discovered!

The meeting between Towers and the council of Mobius was shown again.

Commander Towers – We haven't a moment to waste. Intel analysis suggests it is likely that the cold sleep center's activation will also signal their next action- a second terrorist act, in other words. We may never get another chance to go on the offensive or defensive.

Human Council Member 2 – Have you consulted the Queen about this?

Commander Towers – The Queen passed away at 1206 hours. The cause of death was Chaos.

Everyone in the conference room was shocked silent, many of them had even risen from their chairs as they gazed at Towers in disbelief.

Commander Towers – I ask for your decision.

The remainder of Professor Gerald's broadcast was shown.

Gerald – Unfortunately, our facility only has enough room for 160 people. Should the number of applicants exceed that number, a lottery system will be employed.

Back at the meeting, every council member had their hands raised in favor of Towers' proposal.

Human Council Member 2 – All right. What is this operation's name?

Commander Towers – "Sleeping Beauty."

Towers then looked down at the table, specifically at one of the pictures placed in front of him, showing Professor Gerald Robotnik along with other men, presumably members of his team, and a young girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. The names of each person was listed on below, marked by a number next to their image on the photograph; the name for the girl was listed as Maria Robotnik.


Amy – Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who were very close. However, they were unhappy because they couldn't have a child, however hard they tried.

A bit of time had officially passed, the present date was now October 13th, 2015. Three company buses for Venus Gate were shown driving across the land, carrying all the lucky individuals who have been chosen for the cold sleep project, with a company jeep leading in the front and one following close behind.

Amy – Not even the doctors and sorcerers could do anything to help. Even the royal subjects and citizens were heartbroken and prayed to heaven every day. One day, while the queen was bathing, a frog appeared and said to her, "Your wish will come true. Heaven shall bless you with a child." It was truly mysterious. And- wouldn't you know it- the queen gave birth to an adorable little girl, just as predicted. Overjoyed, the king decided to throw a celebration. Not only the king's family came; many others were invited to the castle, some from the kingdom and some from beyond. Special visitors arrived as well.

As the buses continued to drive, within the first bus, staring out the window with his head resting on his right hand, was a 15 year old, blue-colored hedgehog mobian with only his muzzle and stomach having peach colored fur, who had emerald-green eyes, wearing white gloves along with a pair of red sneakers with a white stripe in the middle of each, and a silver medallion shaped like a guitar around his neck. Soon enough, the view of the Venus Gate facility came into view, catching the hedgehog's attention and prompting him to turn to his left to grab the attention of two other hedgehogs sitting next to him; one of them had green fur with magenta colored eyes, and a bunch of thin shaggy strands of quills hanging over the front of his head, who was wearing similar white gloves with grey spiked bracelets, a pair of different styled red shoes, an orange vest, two gold hoop earrings both on his left ear, and a similar silver medallion around his own neck, only shaped like a drum. The third hedgehog, unlike the other two, was female, and had magenta fur with blue colored eyes, but her quills were colored fuchsia pink as was her hair, which hung over her own head in a full fringe style, wearing long purple gloves halfway past her elbows, a red sleeveless top, a purple skirt with a gold belt, red stockings, purple boots, and a silver medallion of her own shaped like a keyboard.

Sonic – Hey, Bro, Sis look! There it is!

The other two hedgehogs gazed out the window and soon all three were taken by the view of the approaching facility.

Sonia – Wow… It really does look more like a castle than a science facility.

Manic – Yeah. Just too bad two of us won't get to stick around long enough to see more of it.

The blue hedgehog then huffed and leaned back as he put his hands behind his head.

Sonic – What are you talking about? I'm the one who's gonna be asleep in a frozen chamber the whole time. If anything, you guys are the ones who get all the free range.

Sonia – Oh come on, Sonic. You talk as if being stuck inside for one day is going to kill you or something. What I wouldn't give to have years of beauty rest without even forming a wrinkle.

Sonic rolled his eyes, but the green hedgehog glanced downwards, his expression becoming a little sullen.

Manic – Yeah. What we all wouldn't give for that.

Seeming to realize what he was implying, the pink hedgehog was taken aback a little, before she too glanced to the side, a little dejected. Sonic however, steeled his expression to look more optimistic.

Sonic – Come on, you guys, not this again. It's going to be fine! The only thing you really have to worry about is me gaining some extra years and getting to be the eldest sibling for real.

Sonic proudly pointed to himself, while his siblings just smirked, their moods improving.

Sonia – We're triplets, Sonic. We'll always be the same age. Besides, your body won't even change while you're frozen, while Manic and I will actually grow bigger. If anything, we'll technically be the older siblings then.

Manic – Oh man! You're totally right, Sis!

Sonic looked floored as the realization kicked in.

Sonic – What?! No way!

Manic – Better get used to it now, little brother.

Sonic and Manic began to playfully banter back and forth while their sister watched them with an amused grin, until she overheard the voice of the person sitting in the row across from her.

Amy – The thirteen witches had special powers, and their celebratory words promised a happy future for the little princess.

The magenta hedgehog looked across to see the owner of the voice belonged to another female hedgehog. She had light pink fur, her quills pointing straight down around her head resembling short hair, and green eyes like Sonic's, wearing a red sleeveless dress with white trim, long red boots with a white stipe lined vertically on each, white gloves with golden bracelets acting as the cuffs, and a red headband. She was also clearly reading from a storybook placed upon her lap.

Sonia – Isn't that "Sleeping Beauty?"

The pink hedgehog looked up, surprised once she heard the magenta hedgehog's voice. The other female hedgehog in turn looked a little flustered once she realized she brought the girl's attention to herself.

Sonia – Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop!

The pink hedgehog then smiled.

Amy – Oh, no it's okay. And yes, it is.

The pink hedgehog lifted up the book to show the other girl.

Amy – This whole thing… being frozen asleep inside a castle, it reminds me a lot of the story.

The magenta hedgehog glanced at the pages in the book before she looked back at the pink hedgehog and smiled at her back.

Sonia – Yeah, I see what you mean.

Even Sonic and Manic were now paying attention to the two girls and their conversation.


Meanwhile, in the second bus, a young fox mobian with amber colored fur and sky blue eyes, who was wearing white gloves and a pair of sneakers that were red from the heel to the middle and white from the middle to the toe was shown tinkering on some kind of device with a screwdriver.

Tails – Just a few more adjustments, and… There! It's finished!

The fox cub smiled as he held up the device in his hands.

Tails – And just in time too. Who knows how long it will be before I get to work on anything like this again, even if it will only seem like a few seconds to me. Depending on how far into the future we'll end up, communicators like this might even be a thing of the past by then.


Finally, in the third bus, a 16 year old echidna mobian that had red fur along with a white crescent shaped patch of fur on his chest and violet eyes, wearing white boxing gloves with two spikes on each, and red and yellow shoes with green cuffs and a grey bolted plate on top of each was shown with his arms crossed, scowling as he stared straight into a camera.

Knuckles – No comment.

As it turns out, the subjects of his glare were a news reporter with her cameraman, who backed up in fright from the echidna's aggressive demeanor.

Knuckles – You news reporters always go asking stuff like "How are you feeling?" or something. Well you can spare yourselves the trouble and forget about it.

The red echidna slammed his fist on the arm of his seat to get his point across further, frightening the news people and convincing them to back off.

Newswoman – Fine. Get the scenery instead. Ready?

The two turned around to film out the window, and the echidna closed his eyes as he began to relax, only for another voice to catch his attention.

Shadow – So you're not even going to bother asking the rest of us for an interview?

The echidna turned his head around to see that the one who spoke up was a hedgehog mobian who had black fur with red stripes along with a patch of fluffy white fur on his chest and a tan colored muzzle, his quills were curved upwards and he was wearing white gloves and shoes, both with black cuffs and red tongues as well as a golden ring around each of his wrists and ankles. The black hedgehog had stood up from his seat and had a cocky smirk on his face as he addressed the news people all the way from his seat at the back of the bus.

Shadow – And here I thought the press was always thirsty for a story. Yet all it takes is one meaningless gesture to startle you off?

The echidna's eyes narrowed as at the black hedgehog, somehow feeling as though that comment was also a jab at him. Two humans, each one sitting on the opposite side of the black hedgehog then stood up and forced him to sit back down.

Human Escort – Sit down!

Human Escort 2 – Behave yourself unless you want to end up back in juvenile detention!

The black hedgehog grufed as the two humans glared at him. The echidna smirked a tiny bit before turning his head back forwards, feeling a little pleasure at seeing the clearly delinquent hedgehog being warned to stay in line.


All the vehicles were then shown continuing to drive as they finally entered the private property of Venus Gate. One G.U.N. soldier was lying upon a hilltop, hidden from view as he watched, through his binoculars, the vehicles enter the area.

Amy – However, as luck would have it, there were only twelve special gold saucers for the special guests.

G.U.N. Soldier – The thirteenth flock is in the coop.

The vehicles had finally begun to enter the castle grounds, guards were shown stationed everywhere. The buses finally arrived at a stop, opening the doors and allowing all the passengers to exit. From bus 3, the news reporter and her partner got off first and waited for the echidna to get off as well before she began to start questioning the other passengers behind him, knowing she wouldn't be getting anything out of him.

Newswoman – MNN News! How do you feel?

The next passenger only waved her off though and continued on his way.

Newswoman – Oh! MNN News! Excuse me! We're with MNN News! How do you feel?

However every passenger just ignored her and moved on. Then the newswoman looked over to the first bus and pointed excitedly towards it, gesturing for her cameraman to look over as well.

Newswoman – Look, look! Triplets!

Sonic and his siblings were then shown just boarding off their bus as well.

Sonia – Wow…

Manic – So big, man.

Sonic – Eh, if you ask me, someone's trying way too hard to impress.

The news reporters then came up to the three hedgehogs.

Newswoman – Excuse me! I'm with MNN News! How do you feel?!

The reporter held out her microphone to the hedgehogs, expecting an answer, while the cameraman kept them in focus. The magenta hedgehog quickly looked flustered and began brushing her hands through her hair and quills.

Sonia – Oh my goodness! Are we on TV?! How do my quills look?

Manic then put his hands on his sister's shoulders, effectively stopping her.

Manic – We're not here to make a debut, Sis.

Sonia – Oh, right.

Sonic glared at the camera as he stretched his hand out and pushed it away until he and his siblings were out of view.

Sonic – All right, back off already!

Sonic grabbed his siblings' hands and they walked off, leaving the disappointed news people behind.

Cameraman – More scenery?

Just then, the black hedgehog from bus 3 came up behind him with his two escorts.

Shadow – Hey. You still looking for some coverage?

The two news people excitedly turned the camera towards the hedgehog.

Newswoman – Yes! How do you feel?!

The black hedgehog grew a feral grin on his face as he directly faced the camera.

Shadow – Never been better!

The two news people backed up in slight fear of the black hedgehog's crazed smile.

Shadow – Believe me when I say nothing makes me more thrilled than being here right now!

Just then, the hedgehog heard the sound of an incoming aircraft, causing a more serious expression to form on his face. All the guests turned their attention to the sky as what looked to be an egg-shaped ship appeared above them and circle around the castle before beginning to land.

Newswoman – Are you getting this?!

Cameraman – You bet I am!

Multiple guards began heading towards the aircraft, creating a perimeter around it to keep away the other guests. Professor Gerald Robotnik himself was then shown along with two bodyguards walking over to the ship, which was opened up to reveal a man inside who looked very much like Professor Gerald himself, except he had a much more round-shaped body and was wearing a red flight suit. The egg-shaped look-alike stepped out of his aircraft and watched as Gerald approached him with smile while spreading his arms out in a welcoming gesture.

Gerald – Ah, good to see you, Ivo! Welcome, welcome!

Ivo – Yes, yes, the pleasure's all mine.

Ivo shook Gerald's hand as he arrogantly replied. Shadow glared at the two men before his escorts pushed him along.

Human Escort – Get moving!

From inside the castle, on an upper floor, a mobian figure who appeared to be one of the scientists grimaced as he watched Professor Gerald lead the guests inside. Most of his face was shadowed from view, but he appeared to have a mane and was gripping tightly onto a photo pendant with the picture of an old lion mobian on it.


And that's all for now! Let me know if you like it so far and I'll post the next chapter up shortly. Don't be afraid to send me any questions either, of course I can't give away any spoilers! ;)
