Consider this my own sequel to Sonic 2 that will be ignoring the reveal of the credits scene of that movie. I am interested in that plotline as well but I want to do something else.
ALMOST 15 YEARS AGO
On a planet far from Earth in the galaxy; there was a jungle world a Ring portal opened up and out came a terrified looking green furred hedgehog creature holding a staff with a dark blue gem in it. He looked behind him and kept running as out from the portal came a snarling humanoid lizard creature in a dark khaki and cloak outfit.
"I want my staff thief; return it at once and I may be generous and grant you a painless death!" snarled the lizard creature as the hedgehog tripped and rolled down the hill while the lizard creature was tackled down by large owl creatures wearing golden armor that came down from the sky.
The lizard snarled as he spotted them but they flew down to catch the hedgehog as he reached a hut and circled around the hedgehog looking stern. "The Order of Owls... Such an honour" the hedgehog muttered as he took a bow.
"Wish the same could be said for you scoundrel; not only did you steal Rings from us but you were foolish enough to venture forth to the Marble Zone and allowed Rava the Destroyer to follow you back to this world! What parlor trick did you plan on using with that staff; hope it was worth the punishment that you shall face for your insolence!" snapped one of them as he towered over the hedgehog in size but a female owl pushed him back with her wing even as she looked as stern as the others.
"Sorry; if I had any other options..." the hedgehog muttered opening up the hut to show a noticeably hedgehog woman in bed looking quite ill and he went to grab her hand to comfort her. "My wife is gravely ill; all doctors we talked to don't expect her or our child to survive... I thought Rava's magic could allow my child to make it alive at least..." the hedgehog said as the woman hedgehog screamed as it seemed to be time.
The owls all looked at eachother; "Longclaw; help deliver their child as I use the staff to stablise them. The rest; cover us." the leader of the owls spoke as the female hedgehog known as Longclaw looked concerned while the hedgehog handed over to the leader the staff.
"Do you seriously expect you all even together to be able to take on Rava?" Longclaw questioned as the rest looked solemn but shook their heads.
"Off course not Longclaw; we will only be able to buy you time... But... Let's face it; we are all quite old and worn out and getting an innocent child a chance to be born when they might not survive the birth otherwise... A noble cause worth dying for." the abrasive owl from before retorted as Longclaw put her head down and embraced her brothers for the last time.
They heard Rava rushing down and the owls all charged at him as the leader used the staff to stabilise the woman hedgehog's condition while putting magical essence into medicine that the hedgehog's husband fed to her wife to keep her strength up while Longclaw got to work.
the male hedgehog felt life in his wife's hand fade away as Longclaw had a bundle in her hand crying; she was about to hand the child to the father when they heard screams of agony, feathers being ripped from bodies and heads being snapped as Rava charged in only to be pushed back by the leader of the owl.
"You... Stole my staff..." Rava ranted looking at the terrified hedgehog, "You Owls... You stole my Emerald... Tell me where to find it!" Rava continued to rant as the leader and Longclaw glared at him.
"The Master Emerald was never yours' to begin with Rava; misusing it's power caused your people's downfall and we will never let it fall in your claws again!" the leader spoke charging forward with the staff as Rava charged to try and wrestle it away from him.
Longclaw picked up the hedgehog by the shoulders with her talons as she went to fly away; however Rava managed to overpower the leader of the owls and shot out a blast at Longclaw causing her to drop the hedgehog and fall down.
Longclaw saw that she had dropped the bundle; she covered her eyes as the hedgehog was blasted by Rava and Longclaw had tears in her eyes as he was heading to the bundle. However there was a blue streak speeding from it much to Longclaw and Rava's surprise. However Longclaw decided to take the distracting to take out a Ring and open up a portal back to the Marble Zone; she then charged at Rava to push him through the portal and flew out before it closed.
She went and found the blue furred baby hedgehog crawling at incredible speed and it looked afraid at her; "Don't be frightened little one..." Longclaw said softly as she picked the child up and looked at the corpses around them. "My order is gone and so are your parents; don't worry as I will take care of you." Longclaw said softly to the baby hedgehog in her arms and pondered "You will be needing a name... I think 'Sonic' fits you just fine...'
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3
PRESENT DAY
The town of Green Hill; and in the Wachowski household the last of the echidna warriors Knuckles looked solemn as he stared at his foes turned friends/brothers in all but name Sonic and Miles 'Tails Prowler. "It all falls down to me and in all the journeys that we have taken in this adventure; it has been an honour to have you two by my side but it all comes to one last gamble..." Knuckles whispered towards them as he rolled the 2 20 sided dice in his big hands and then threw them to the table as they landed on 20.
"YES! Victory is ours! The land is saved and your reign of tyranny is over 'game master'!" Knuckles cheered as he got off the table along with Tails and Sonic; Knuckles then began throwing his hands up in the air, Tails was swinging his twin tails about and Sonic was doing the Fortnite 'take the L' dance.
Wade Whipple put his hands to his head having lost this campaign at a fantasy pen and paper RPG board game. Tom and Maddie Wachowski made their way to the kitchen to bare witness to what is going on. "Okay; I didn't think that even you 3 could have made a game session with Wade weird but clearly I have underestimated my alien kids..." Tom spoke only to be elbowed by Maddie.
"They are just having fun Tom; even if they are doing this..." Maddie said as she smiled along with her husband.
"We have saved the kingdom of Wadecavia from the dark lord tyrant and so we celebrate with the 'Wachowski In Your Face' dance to gloat about our victory!" Knuckles explained to more amusement from the Wachowski parents.
"Thus ends what is probably our last big adventure before our leaders turns the big 1 followed by a 5." Tails said beaming up with admiration to Sonic who smirked.
"Why yes; the team leader is turning 15 in a week. Also yes; I hope it shall be the best birthday celebration in the galaxy!" Sonic spoke as Knuckles looked his way.
"Who made you team leader? Isn't it supposed to be a democratic process for choosing leaders here?" Knuckles asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well all for Sonic being the leader please raise your hand!" Tails said as he and Sonic raised their hands and Knuckles looked cross upon realising that he was now outvoted.
"I shall concede to the popular vote; but well done on making it to 15 years next week Sonic. I do hope you like my present but don't ask me what I have gotten you as you will have to pry that secret from my cold hands!" Knuckles said looking serious as Sonic giggled.
"Well I for one am excited to see what Jojo has gotten for her favourite cousin when she comes over!" Maddie said as her niece would be coming over for the week for Sonic's birthday.
"But she will be bringing two unwelcomed guests with her." Tom said as Maddie gave her a look; "Come on Maddie; even if I had patched things up somewhat with your sister... Randall started the relationship for a literal catfishing government project and he had a part in almost having and Tails killed." Tom reminded Maddie who sighed as he had a point.
"Okay yes; I am not too happy about it or Randall but Rachel for some reason found it to start over with Randall so I can at least tolerate him so I hope everyone is can too!" Maddie said clearly looking like she still didn't like Randall.
"To be fair I also have tried to kill these two and we have patched things up." Knuckles pointed out causing them to laugh.
"Well; bygones be bygones and let's just get ready for my big day!" Sonic said as he then noticed that Wade was still crying over his lost campaign. "You alright there Wade?" Sonic asked patting Wade on the shoulder.
Countless weeks Dr Robotnik had been on the run after his presumed death when that blasted hedgehog Sonic used HIS Master Emerald to turn yellow and destroy his giant robot. He had it; the power of the universe within him! Any thought in his genius mind could come to life; once he was done with that hedgehog and his pesky friends he was going to take over the Earth, the universe and then the Multiverse! Create a multiversal wide robotic empire that would be the ultimate technocracy!
Now he was stuck on the run having to remain presumed dead as his former superiors in the military and government had confiscated all his tech, his lairs and all of his funding!
He was forced to scavenge for his food; like right now he was walking through the forest of Green Hills trying to find an animal to wrestle for it's meat. He kept having to hide from that Crazy Carl character; he was following the scanner function on his glove when it picked up an energy signature that got him hopeful.
He followed it leading to a small green glow in the dirt; he dug it out and he found the glowing green Emerald. The Master Emerald must have separated into these smaller Emeralds; no matter he could still feel it's power as he picked it up. "This shall do to help me rebuild but I need more... Locate me more of it's power signature..." Robotnik spoke imagining more signatures of it's energy throughout the galaxy and he picked up a big signal from another world.
Not knowing what it was he tried to hone in on it with his mind; opening up a portal and he gasped as on the other side was Rava in the Marble Zone. He stepped out of the portal and grabbed the Emerald from Robotnik's hand. "Give that here! That's mine!" Robotnik complained as Rava pushed him back.
"Incorrect; I felt it when the Master Emerald split into the 7 Chaos Emeralds once again... From when I was the host, I shall locate the remaining Emeralds. Once restored I Rava the Destroyer shall once again have the powers of a god; the universe shall be mind!" Rava spoke as Robotnik plotted as he got himself up on the ground.
"If you want to find the rest of the Emeralds; you are going to be needing an army..." Robotnik spoke as Rava looked down on him.
"Hairless worm; I am an army! Plus what do you know about armies?" Rava scoffed as Robotnik coughed.
"You see; your great and powerful ness... I am Robotnik and I can build you an army to do the dirty work for you; I mean if you are going to be the all powerful ruler of the universe then why do your own dirty work? Why not get your lowly underlings to do it for you? You help me retrieve my stuff which includes a huge metal army and resources; then I shall forever pledge my allegiance to you and my resources shall be at your disposal! Your quest to find the other Emeralds shall go a lot faster and smoother!" Robotnik spoke ready to put his dignity and pride aside to look like he could kiss his gross disgusting feet at a moment's notice.
"Very well; Robotnik; I shall help you get your resources but I will not tolerate insubordination nor betrayal!" Rava warned as Robotnik nodded; ready to play the role as the snivelling henchman as much time as he needed to.
Rava and the lizards were earlier concepts for the original Sonic movie; basically they seem to have been the earlier villains at the opening who would have caused Longclaw to take Sonic away from their home planet to Earth before they were swapped out with the echidnas for the redesign. Rava actually appeared in the Sonic 2 Pre-Quill Comic in the Tails story.
