Beginnings
(Sonic Underground: Theme)
(Ayla's Theme Song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
(Ayla's POV)
*I woke up to the familiar sound of factories & the familiar smell of smoke & pollution. I opened my eyes & found myself in an alley filled with trash*
Ayla: Where am I? *I snuck up to a corner & looked around it. I gasped at what I saw. a city that looked a lot like Robotropolis. I hid again as a pair of Swat-Bots went past me. I noticed they looked a little different from the Swat-Bots I'd seen before. they were bulkier & were red & purple. I looked around the corner again & a limousine went past me. I could see a wealthy looking pair of peacocks inside. I was surprised that they looked normal, not robots* This place almost looks like Robotropolis. But that's impossible. We drove Eggman out of the city and turned it back into Mobotropolis. Something is very wrong here.
?:*off-screen* You are right, my child. This is not the Robotropolis you know.
*I looked around for the source of the voice*
Ayla: Who said that? Who's there?
*Suddenly, a ball of green light appeared in front of me*
?:*off-screen* Follow the light, child. It will lead you to me.
*The light circled around me a few times before it flew away. I quickly followed it*
*I followed the light to an old abandoned building. It went inside & I slowly opened the door*
Ayla: Um . . . Hello? Anybody here? I followed your little glowing friend here. If there is someone here, could you tell me why I'm here?
?:*off-screen* To fulfill your destiny, young one.
*I turned around & saw a green male anteater with blue eyes wearing a purple cloak (look up "Sonic Underground updated /re-re-designs" by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt")*
Ayla: Who are you?
Oracle of Delphius: I am the Oracle of Delphius. We have been waiting for you for a long time.
Ayla: You have? Who's we?
Oracle of Delphius: Myself and Aleena, the Queen of Mobius.
*I was shocked by what I heard*
Ayla: The Queen of Mobius? But why would she be waiting for me?
Oracle of Delphius: Because, as told in the prophecy, you are the Hero meant to save our world.
*Now, I was really surprised*
Ayla: Me? Oh, no, no, no, you've got the wrong girl. I'm no hero. That's more my brother's department.
Oracle of Delphius: You may doubt yourself, young one. But I have seen what you are capable of. *he waved his hand & showed images of me & my friends battling Eggman, robots, Chaos, Shadow, the Black Arms, & the Meterex* I have been watching you for quite some time. You have kind and courageous heart. You never give up, now matter the odds. And you are willing to sacrifice yourself to save the ones you love. Though you may not see it, you are a true hero.
*I was quiet for a few minutes, but then I looked at the Oracle*
Ayla: Okay. So, what is this prophecy?
*He waved his hand & a new image appeared. It looked like Mobotropolis*
Oracle of Delphius: There was a time when Robotropolis was beautiful. It was then a peaceful city known as -
Ayla: Mobotropolis?
Oracle of Delphius: Yes. But shortly after Queen Aleena's children were born, the evil Dr. Robotnik used his technology to turn our world into a place of terror
*The image then showed a fat human male with peach skin, red eyes with black sclera, a long orange mustache, grey robot ears, & a grey robot arm wearing red, yellow, & black armor, a yellow cape, a black glove, a red gem on his belt, & black & red boots (look up ":COMM: Robotnik" by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt"). Slowly, I could see a beautiful city, being turned into a one big factory. I saw a fountain crumbling, a meadow & a forest turning into a wasteland, & a statue of a Mobian King (who looked a lot like King Acorn) crumbling to pieces*
Ayla: Oh no . . .
Oracle of Delphius: As the source of Robotnik's money, the Aristocrats were left to play. While the citizens were roboticized and became slaves. *I saw a group of rich looking people raising their glasses in toast & a bunch of Mobians, lined up & handcuffed. a dog stood on a platform as a cylinder came up over him. a bright light flashed & the dog came out as a robot. I covered my mouth in horror. I then saw a dirty alley. inside an abandoned house, was a purple female hedgehog with peach skin, purple quills with dark purple tips, & green eyes wearing a turquoise cloak with a purple hood (look up "Sonic Underground updated /re-re-designs" by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt") bottle-feeding a fuchsia pink baby girl hedgehog wearing a yellow bow in her hair & two baby boy hedgehogs (one green & the other cobalt blue) were sleeping in a crib in front of them* The Royal Family was outlawed. A price placed on their heads. *the image then showed a cave. the Oracle himself appeared & his hands glowed green* Then, I summoned the Queen and revealed the prophecy to her.
(Vision - Third-person POV)
Oracle of Delphius: Someday you will reunite with your children to become the Council of Four, *he showed an image of the Queen & her three children walking up the palace steps together* and overthrow Robotnik. When the time to act comes, *the image then showed a silhouette of Ayla with a microphone in her hand* a Hero from Another World shall come and aid you in your conquest. But there is a price, Your Highness.
(Reality - Ayla's POV)
Ayla: What price was that?
*The Oracle was silent for a minute*
Oracle of Delphius: For the prophecy to be fulfilled, the Queen had to give up her children.
*I was completely shocked*
Ayla: She had to give them up!? But why!?
*The Oracle held a hand up to quiet me*
Oracle of Delphius: Please, let me finish. *I wanted to ask more, but I kept quiet. he then showed me images of the Queen putting her babies on the doorsteps of three different houses, but one of the babies was snatched away by a green rat* Sixteen years have now past since that day. And now, the day we have waited for has arrived. Ayla Hedgehog, Hero from Another World, you must find Queen Aleena's children and help them find their Mother so they can overthrow Robotnik. *he then reached into his sleeve & pulled out a white crystal medallion in the shape of a microphone held by a black string ("Ayla's Crystal Microphone Medallion" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt")* This is for you. It will aide you in your quest.
Ayla: It's beautiful. *I put it around my neck* So, how do I find them?
Oracle of Delphius: They are close. To find them, you must sing the song that is in your heart. Good luck, Hero from Another World.
*He then started to disappear*
Ayla: Wait! Don't go! What does that mean!? *but he was already gone* What did he mean by "song in my heart"? *suddenly, my medallion started to glow light purple & a purple microphone on a stand attached to a purple speaker appeared (look up "Ayla - Singing with her Magic Microphone" by "SwanGirl24" on "DeviantArt")* Whoa . . .
(Third-person POV)
*Meanwhile, the Oracle was having the same conversation with Sonic (a cobalt blue hedgehog with peach skin & emerald green eyes wearing a white crystal medallion shaped like a guitar, & red shoes). The Oracle wiped some chili sauce off his hand*
Sonic: Sorry about spittin' the chili on you, Orc. Wow. A brother, a sister, and a Hero from Another World. But where are they?
Oracle of Delphius: They are close. But to find them, you must sing the song that is in your heart, young hedgehog.
*He started to disappear*
Sonic: Hey, whoa, whoa, wait. *he was already gone* What song? How come nobody ever says what they mean? Song in my heart. What does that mean? *just then, his medallion started glowing light blue* Whoa, my medallion!
*He look towards his guitar & picked it up*
Note: This is my all time favorite song in Song Underground.
(Ayla's POV)
*As I held the microphone in my hands, I could hear a guitar, keyboard, & drums playing*
*Ayla singing*
There's something missing
Something's not quite right
And I can feel it calling to me every night
A little voice inside
Tells me someone is out there
And I must never give up
Searching everywhere
*Just then, I heard 3 more voices joining me in the song*
(Someday)
We are gonna be together
(Someday)
Life will be so much better
(Someday)
We will build a bond no one can break
(Someday)
No more dark clouds above
(Someday)
United in the light of love
(Someday)
The story can only end one way
We'll be together someday
*As I heard the music play, four lights appeared in the sky above me. One blue, one green, one pink, one white*
(Someday)
We are gonna be together
(Someday)
Life will be so much better
(Someday)
We will build a bond no one can break
(Someday)
No more dark clouds above
(Someday)
United in the light of love
(Someday)
The story can only end one way
We'll be together someday
Someday
We'll be together someday
(Third-person POV)
Manic (a green male hedgehog with peach skin & purple eyes wearing a orange vest, a white crystal medallion shaped like drums, black spiked bracelets, white gloves, a brown fanny pack, & red shoes with white soles (look up "Sonic Underground / Updated Redesigns by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt")): What was that?
Sonia (a fuchsia pink female hedgehog with peach skin, pink hair, & blue eyes wearing a dress with a short purple skirt & a red sleeveless top, a white crystal medallion shaped like a keyboard, purple gloves that go up to the elbows, band of gold that forms a pointed shape at the front with a small circle in the center of it, & red stockings under purple boots (look up "Sonic Underground / Updated Redesigns" by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt")): What was that?
Sonic: They're out there!
(Ayla's POV)
Ayla: They're out there! I can feel them through this medallion!
(Third-person POV)
*At Dr. Robotnik's fortress, a grey male wolf with purple hair & orange eyes wearing red body armor over a black bounty hunter suit with a yellow emblem, a blue-purple cape & boots & a orange male dingo with a yellow hair, green eyes, & a silver robot leg wearing a gold earring, rounded purple glasses, brown gloves, a brown belt with a silver buckle, green shorts, & a black shoe (look up "Sonic Underground-Sleet and Dingo" by "NinjaHaku21" on "DeviantArt"), two bounty hunters Robotnik hired, were looking at a monitor that showed a blue streak zooming towards a force field*
Sleet: Freeze frame and enlarge. *the video froze* How can anything go that fast?
Dingo: It, uh, slows down when it hits that red thing.
Sleet: Well, well, well, once in a while you do come up with something, don't you? Advance to point of contact. Extract image and enlarge. *the computer obeyed until it showed a blurred image of Sonic* Aha! It's not a machine.
*He typed on a keyboard. the computer showed images of multiple animals until it showed Sonic*
Dr. Robotnik:*off-screen* Hedgehog! *Sleet & Dingo turned around, nervously**on-screen* It's a blasted hedgehog!
Sleet: Yes, sir. Would you like us to -
Dr. Robotnik: No! Dismissed!
Sleet: But, Your Greatness . . .?
Dr. Robotnik: Dismissed! *Sleet & Dingo left the room* Could it be them? If it is, the prophecy!
*He pressed a button & a holographic image appeared of the Oracle of Delphius appearing in Robotnik's bedroom sixteen years ago*
Oracle of Delphius:*on the hologram* Robotnik, your days of tyranny are numbered.
*He leaned over & pressed a button*
Dr. Robotnik:*on the hologram* Guards!
*Suddenly, the Oracle froze him*
Oracle of Delphius:*on the hologram* You will listen. One day, Queen Aleena and her three children will form the Council of Four. On that day, with the help of a Hero from Another World, your reign of tyranny will end.
*The hologram ended. Robotnik walked up to the computer & pressed a button. The screen showed an image of Queen Aleena holding her three babies in her arms*
Dr. Robotnik: They're still out there! And now there's a so-called hero coming for me! Then I'm declaring war on the Resistance!
*Later that night, at an underground club, Sonic stood on a stage. With a drum set & a keyboard next him & a microphone in front of him. He started to play his guitar*
*Manic was walking down an alleyway with a brown male insect-like Mobian with black eyes wearing a brown overcoat over a brown shirt (look up "Sonic Underground updated/re-re-designs" by "Drawloverlala" on "DeviantArt"), both carrying a purple bag over their shoulder. Suddenly, they stopped as Manic heard Sonic playing*
Manic: I've heard that riff before.
Ferrel: Riff? I don't hear any music.
*Manic handed him his bag*
Manic: Meet you back at the hideout.
Ferrel: Manic, you okay, kid?
Manic: I'm cool, Ferrel. Later.
*He ran off to find the music*
*Sonia was walking down a different alley, with a yellow male mink with, peach skin, yellow hair, & blue eyes wearing a brown jacket over a white shirt & a white ascot, white gloves, green pants, & brown boots (look up "Sonic Underground-Bartleby Montclair" by "NinjaHaku21" on"DeviantArt")
Bartleby: Good grief, Sonia. What kind of place have you brought us too?
Sonia: Hush, Bartleby. I know there's a club around here somewhere and I've heard the music there really rocks.
Bartleby: Simply cannot wait.
*Suddenly, Sonia heard Sonic playing the guitar*
Sonia: Wait. *her medallion started glowing* I know that song.
Bartleby: What song? Oh, wonderful. You dragged me to the bowels of the city to your imaginary music. How could it get any better?
*Sonia ignored him as she ran off*
(Ayla's POV)
*I was walking down an alleyway, trying to figure out a way to find the three hedgehogs*
Ayla: "Find Queen Aleena's children." he said. I don't even know what they look like, how can I find them? *suddenly, I heard a guitar playing* Wait a minute . . . I know that song. *I followed the music until I came to old rusty door at the end of another alley. I pressed my ear against the door, hearing the music coming from inside. I opened the door & stepped inside a long dark hallway. I could hear loud music & a crowd cheering. I walked down the hallway until I walked into what looked like a club. I looked towards the stage & saw three hedgehogs playing music *inside her mind* It's them! I found them! *my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I saw a familiar blue hedgehog playing the guitar**inside her mind* Sonic! What's my brother doing here!? *I then shook my head & stepped up to the stage**out-loud* Hey, you guys sound great! Mind if I join in?
*Sonic looked at me & his eyes went wide in surprise when he saw the medallion around my neck. He then smiled at me*
Sonic: Nope. Come on up.
*I then smiled, ran to the stage, stepped up to the microphone, & sang a long note. The crowd cheered even louder*
Manic: Whoa! Nice vocals, little dudette!
Sonia: Lovely!
Sonic: Cool sound!
Ayla: Thanks. But what do you say we really give these people a show? Hit it!
*I snapped my fingers as the music began to play*
*Ayla singing*
Have you heard the lastest word
They're playin' it every place, yes
Rockin' and rollin'
Reelin' and rockin'
Shakin' up the Mobian race
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll's here to stay
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll forever

Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll's here to stay, yeah
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll forever
No matter what they say, yeah
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll forever
Rock and roll forever
*Suddenly, just as I finished singing, the wall exploded. Two Swat-Bots came into the room*
Sonia: Who are you guys?
Sonic: We're your brothers! *he pointed at me* And she's a Hero from Another World who's come to help us.
Manic: We are? And she's a what?
*Sonic then grabbed Sonia & Manic by the wrists*
Sonic: I'll get you out of here! *he turned to me* Grab on to my back, kid!
Ayla: Ok!
*I hopped on to his back & we zoomed out of the club*
*After we left the club, I explained everything to them*
Sonic: So, let me get this straight. In your world, you're my little sister?
Ayla: Pretty much.
Manic: So, does that, like, *he pointed to himself & Sonia* make you our little sister too?
Ayla: Technically, yes.
*Sonia then ran up to me & hugged me*
Sonia: OMG! This is so awesome! I've always wanted a little sister! *she then grabbed my wrists* Oh, you have to come to my house. I just know Lady Windermere will adore you!
Manic: Hey, no fair! I wanna to introduce her to Ferrel!
Sonic: And I want her to meet my Uncle Chuck!
*I was surprised when I heard that*
Ayla: Did you say Uncle Chuck?
Sonic: Yep. He raised me after I lost my foster family. Do you want to meet him?
*I was about to say yes. But Sonia started to pull me away*
Sonia: That can wait. Right now, we need some serious sister bonding time.
*She started to pull me away*
Ayla: Sonia! Wait, I - !
Sonic: Meet us in the public square in two hours!
(Third-person POV)
*Robotnik, Sleet, & Dingo were watching Sonic, Sonia, & Manic's foster families being arrested on several monitors*
Dr. Robotnik: Monitor One. Repeat footage. *the screen showed Ayla, Sonic, Sonia, & Manic playing together* Freeze! Bring up Queen Aleena's brats! ** Execute retinal scan!
Computer: PROCESSING.
*Robotnik turned to Sleet & Dingo*
Dr. Robotnik: Your raids were very efficient. Luckily for you.
Computer: RETINAL SCAN COMPLETED.
Dr. Robotnik: Well?
Computer: RETINAL MATCH CONFIRMED FOR THREE OF THE FOUR SUBJECTS. ONE ABILITY. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
Dr. Robotnik: It's them! Cross search against all known citizens.
Computer: ONE MATCH ONLY. SONIA. WARD OF LADY WINDERMERE.
Dr. Robotnik: Seize the girl! And Lady Windermere too!
Sleet: And could that girl singing be the "Hero from Another World"? *he went up to the computer & then pressed a few buttons* Computer, bring up files the small girl hedgehog!
*The computer was quiet for a few moments, and then . . .*
Computer: NO MATCH FOUND. SUBJECT NOT FOUND IN FILES.
Sleet: She doesn't exist!?
Dr. Robotnik: Of course she doesn't! She's from another world, so she wouldn't be the databanks, you fools! I want her brought to me! Alive!
Sleet: A - Alive, sir?
Dr. Robotnik: Yes, alive! I have a few questions to ask her.
(Ayla's POV)
*We soon arrived at Sonia's house. Which was a big mansion. She introduced me to Lady Windermere (a brown female dog with brown hair & purple eyes wearing gold earrings, a teal bathrobe over a lilac dress & teal slippers (look up "Sonic Underground Remixed: Chapter 2 page 37" by "Zippityzap103" on "DeviantArt")), who took an immediate liking to me (she was already treating me like her own daughter & making plans to turn one of the guest rooms into a bedroom for me). Right now, we were up in Sonia's room, which was a big pink mess. Sonia was currently in front of a mirror, preening herself*
Ayla: Shouldn't we be getting ready to meet the boys?
Sonia: In a minute. Gotta triple check my mascara.
*I rolled my eyes*
Ayla:*in her mind* Oh brother.
*Suddenly, we heard voices outside Sonia's room*
Swat-Bot: CITIZENS. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
*We looked out in the hallway & saw Lady Windermere being carried away by a Swat-Bot & a big orange muscular dingo*
Lady Windermere: Let go of me, you brutes! *she turned to us* Run, girls! Run!
*The dingo looked at us, mostly at Sonia*
Dingo: Ooh, pretty.
*The Swat-Bot ran towards us*
Sonia: Oh no!
*We ran to the window, jumped to the ground, & ran away*
Swat-Bot: HALT CITIZENS. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST.
*We met up with the boys in the square*
Sonic: And they got my Uncle Chuck!
Sonia: We must find Lady Windermere!
Manic: And Ferrel!
Sonic: You're right. Let's do it to it!
*They did a high-five. Suddenly, a green light appeared. The light died, revealing the Oracle*
Oracle of Delphius: I'm sorry, young hedgehogs. I'm afraid you are too late.
*He showed an image of Sonic, Sonia, & Manic's foster families all turned into robots*
Manic: Ferrel!
Sonic: No!
Sonia: Can't be!
Ayla: I'm sorry, guys.
Oracle of Delphius: It is time for you to explore the power of your medallions.
Sonia: I always wondered why I had this.
Manic: Yeah. And why I couldn't bear to take it off.
Oracle of Delphius: Are you ready to begin the journey.
Sonic: Journey? What journey? We have to fight Robuttnik.
Oracle of Delphius: And to fight him, you must make this journey to discovery and bonding. You have powers within you.
Manic: We do?
*The Oracle then made a scroll appeared*
Oracle of Delphius: Powers which you will need to fulfill your quest. *he floated the map over to me* Follow this map. And remember, you must learn to work with each other. The fate of Mobius is in your hands. *he looked at me* Guide them, hero. And protect them. The lives of the Royal Family are in your hands.
*He then disappeared*
Sonia: And who is that?
Ayla: The Oracle of Delphius. A very wise man.
*Sonic took the map from me & opened it*
Sonic: We've got a long way to go.
*We all walked though the city, hand in hand*
Sonia: I'm all alone now.
Sonic: Not a chance, sis.
Ayla: We'll always be by your side.
