Sonic: Chaos Race

(based on Sonic Drift 2 for Game Gear)

Fanfiction by Danny Wheeler

Prolog:

Though distraught that the king was stolen from them, the people knew that Mobotropolis was in good hands. They decided to find something to divert their minds from the trouble. So they decided to have a series of car races to have fun. Their team consisted of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. Sonic's car was called "Cyclone." Tails had the "Whirlwind S7". Knuckles drove the "Tempest". And Amy's car of choice was the "Breeze".

However, this comes to Eggman's attention when he saw some tracks in the Mobius of Darkness. He contacted Nack (also called "Fang") to enter and keep them busy while he tried to think up a scheme. Nack entered the race in his "Marvelous Queen".

Part 1: Purple GP

Chapter 1: Emerald Hill 1

The first of a three part super race was the Purple GP (each GP had six courses). The first race course was Emerald Hill 1, one of two Emerald Hill courses. This was one of the two courses in the Mobius of the Sky during the Purple GP, and one of the easiest. Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles got ready, only for Nack to enter (in the video game, only four could show at a time, but this isn't the video game...).

Nack loaded the course with mines to make the task tougher. But the team made it through, with Knuckles in first place, since he could corner more easily.

Chapter 2: Hill Top 1

The other Purple GP Course in the Mobius of the Sky was Hill Top 1. There were hills that could help a driver if hit head on, but slow down a car if grazed. Also there was Motora, a Badnik that zigzagged across the course to waylay a driver.

Nack tried to lure the other drivers into it, but he got hit himself. Amy won this course easily, since she had high acceleration.

Chapter 3: Dark Valley 1

The team soon made it to the Mobius of Darkness, onto a track called Dark Valley 1, where a misstep could send a person over the edge. Rocks abounded in the area, waiting to cause a crash. Nack tried to lure them into crashing, but he ended up crashing himself.

After a long road (this was a non-lapping course, like Hill Top 1 was, though that fact was neglected), Sonic made it through, for he had a good top speed, even if he had trouble with control.

Chapter 4: Casino Night

The team found the Casino Night Zone made into a race course. Bobbins made cars bounce around like pinballs, and Triangle Bumpers made drivers go from either side. When Nack got frustrated at this, he through some balls of oil that made them slip. Sonic slipped a bit, so he had some catching up to do.

Tails won the race for Sonic, and along the way, caused Nack to fall off the bridge in the course.

Chapter 5: Desert Road 1

There were two Desert Road courses in the Mobius of Darkness. Both had sand piles to slow down drivers. The first Desert Road had bank turns to cause some confusion among drivers. Nack went out of control on the bank turns, so he easily lost there without even trying to!

The winner in this race was Sonic, since he was fast enough to avoid the bank turns. Nack knew he had once last chance to win a course!

Chapter 6: Iron Ruin

A track that went through Robotropolis was the last stop in the Purple GP. Besides pitfalls, there was also Mecha Vulture, that would fly down and slow down any driver. He flew down and slowed down Amy, but she was in Nack's way, causing him to fall into a pit! The collision also made Mecha Vulture fly off.

Sonic barely escaped Mecha Vulture and won! Sonic got a Gold medal, Tails got a Silver, Amy took a Bronze with a sportsmanship attitude, and Knuckles was content with a Participant Ribbon. The White GP was next, so everyone rested up for it. Meanwhile, Eggman needed more time for his scheme, so he sent Metal Sonic, with a car called "Blue Devil", to enter the White GP.

Part 2: White GP

Chapter 1: Desert Road 2

Whereas Desert Road 1 had bank turns, Desert Road 2 had tunnels, dark as anyplace in the Mobius of Darkness. Though Amy and Tails were slightly spooked at first, they knew that the team had to do their best to win. Metal Sonic drove ahead, but Sonic caught up.

Sonic soon beat Metal and won the round. The next stop was the stormy Rainy Savannah. The place was full of rainstorms and lightning, which may make the track treacherous.

Chapter 2: Rainy Savannah

Though a bit cooler than Desert Road, Rainy Savannah was harder, because Puddles make it hard to steer through the road, and Lightning flashes at random, making it hard to see up ahead. Metal even had problems at times racing through this area.

Amy paralyzed her rivals (friend and enemy alike) with her special "Heart Attack" and made it through. The next stop was the cold Ice Cap, back in the Mobius of the Sky.

Chapter 3: Ice Cap

Ice Cap chilled all except Metal Sonic to the bones as they drove through the frozen landscape. Snowdrifts slowed them down when they drove through, so Sonic and Metal Sonic had to use their special speed boosts to catch up.

It was a close match, but Sonic barely made it past Metal in the race. Metal vowed to try to even out the odds in Hill Top 2, which was harder than Hill Top 1.

Chapter 4: Hill Top 2

Motora was back in Hill Top 2, and Metal was able to dodge the fiend. The team had to work hard to avoid it as they tried to jump the ramps to try to keep up with Metal Sonic. Knuckles could do well in this area, since he could corner well.

With tough determination, Knuckles won for the team and beat Metal Sonic. The next round was the long and winding Mystic Cave.

Chapter 5: Mystic Cave

Mystic Cave, a special cave in the Mobius of the Sky, was loaded with Stalagmites, which could stop a driver cold if hit. There were also cracks that could warp a driver anywhere. The cracks were hidden, and they'd have to work hard to find them.

Soon, Tails found a crack that led him to an area near the goal. He beat Metal without even trying too hard! The last track for the White GP is Emerald Hill 2.

Chapter 6: Emerald Hill 2

Metal prepared for the race by littering the track with mines. Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles had to drive carefully to avoid them. Sonic had trouble and hit a mine. Tails was able to jump over them easily.

But it was Amy that won this one and beat Metal with her hearts. At the awards, Amy got a Gold, Sonic got a Silver, Knuckles got Bronze, and Tails got Participant Ribbon. But after that, Eggman kidnapped Sally and told them of his Blue GP. He had with him his vehicle-- the Egg Typhoon!

Part 3: Blue GP

Chapter 1: Dark Valley 2

Once in the Mobius of Darkness again, Eggman (with Sally tied up in his vehicle) told them of his courses, and then prepared the race. There were rocks and pits that littered the Dark Valley, but there were springs that abounded near the gorges too.

Soon, Knuckles won, since he could corner well and get through easily in the race. The next stop was Quake Cave, also in the Mobius of Darkness.

Chapter 2: Quake Cave

Quake Cave is aptly named, since the occasional tremors shook up the drivers and made it hard to control. There were also Stalagmites here, and the quakes often cause Fallen Rocks to appear. The team drove on to reach Eggman and save the princess.

Soon, Eggman tossed a mine that started an avalanche. Knuckles car was totaled, but he himself made it out safely. Knuckles said, "I'm afraid I'm out of the race. It's up to you now... good luck!" Sonic won again. They soon returned to the Mobius of the Sky, while Knuckles returned to Emerald Island.

Chapter 3: Balloon Panic

Balloon Panic was quite a curious course, for there were balloon cushions everywhere. Red causes controls to reverse, Yellow makes a flash that stuns opponents, Blue induces dizzyness in the driver, and Black provides a mine to toss to rival drivers.

But the team was able to see through this. Amy soon beat Eggman in this course. The next stop was the Emerald Ocean. The entire track is over the water.

Chapter 4: Emerald Ocean

An island is where spectators can view the Emerald Ocean race. Rocks could cause an unwary driver to sink in the water. But none of the drivers had to worry about slow downs, for they could all maintain a steady speed.

Eggman knocked Amy into a rock, and her car sank. She swam to the shore and sat on the beach, saying, "Sorry, guys. I have to sit the rest of the race out. Good luck, Sonic and Tails!" Sonic soon beat Eggman again at the end. Sonic, Tails, and Eggman were soon teleported to a space track called "Milky Way."

Chapter 5: Milky Way

Despite the fact that it was in space, the course had some air. But Meteoroids make those who jump too soon regret it. Sonic and Tails drove to try to beat Eggman. They saw in the distance the Death Egg! Eggman was rebuilding the Death Egg as a race course.

Eggman then shot a laser at a Meteoroid and it hit Tails' car. Tails found a portal back to the Mobius of the Sky. He said, "I'm afraid it's all up to you, Sonic! Win it for me, buddy!" Sonic soon beat Eggman and prepared for... the Death Egg."

Chapter 6: The Death Egg and Final Race

Eggman saw that Sonic was the only one to challenge him. Eggman chuckled as he prepared to race Sonic. Electromagnetic Poles made the drive harder than it was already, for it pulled cars toward them and caused cars to spin out.

However, Sonic used the Drift (which all the cars had) to make better turns, and soon, Sonic won the race! Sally was rescued, and both made it to the Mobius of the Sky.

Epilog: The Awards Ceremony

Sally kissed Sonic as she gave him the trophy. All the others got smaller replicas of the trophy as consolation prizes, since Eggman destroyed their cars. Everyone cheered as the first series of car races was over, and they look forward to more of the races in the future!
