Sonic: Battle Through Time

(Based on Sonic CD)

Fanfiction by Danny Wheeler

Prolog:

Amy Rose, a pink hedgehog who was friends with Sonic, learned that the Little Planet was nearing Mobius, and wished to bring her friends there. Sonic and Sally came with Amy Rose... but something was not right. Instead of flowers around Never Lake (where the Little Planet usually was), they saw a dead landscape... and the Little Planet was a metal ball tethered to a chain. Eggman must have learned of the planet's time travel powers. All knew of the legendary Time Stones, which are like Chaos Emeralds, only they controlled time.

Soon, Metal Sonic whisked away Amy before Sonic and Sally's eyes. They ran up the chain to the Little Planet, prepared for anything.

Chapter 1: Palmtree Panic

Sally stood by in the jungles of the Little Planet, with a communicator to keep in touch with Sonic. Sonic went off to stop Eggman. Instead of animals or people, the Badniks on the Little Planet had flowers within them. Though not as powerful a power source, it did give them sufficient energy. The Badniks here were mosquito robots that divebombed at Sonic, ant robots that patrolled the grounds, butterfly robots that spied for Eggman, and small bug robots with cannons on them. Sonic buzzed through them and found a time portal to the future.

When he got to the future, he saw what Eggman did. The trees are dead, the water is polluted, and only robots existed. Sonic got back to the present and looked for a portal to the past. When he did, he found two things: A Metal Sonic projector that scared off animals, and a portable Badnik Maker that looked like a UFO. Sonic destroyed both, returned to the Present, then returned to the future. "Now this is more like it!" Sonic thought to himself as he looked at the more pleasant future. Sonic soon found a portal to a hidden area. There he was to seek a Time Stone. Sonic had to smash six UFOs to win a Time Stone. Sonic did so, in a feat of a few seconds, and won the first time stone!

Sonic traveled into a pleasant Palmtree Panic future area and fought of Eggman's Metal Walker! Sonic looked for vulnerable areas and hit the walker three times. Eggman soon got on a jetpack and escaped! Sonic then destroyed a force pod and released the flowers within!

Chapter 2: Collision Chaos

Sally informed Sonic of the Collision Chaos Zone's layout- it was like a pinball machine. Sonic confirmed her info and prepared to go through the area. The Badniks here were bat robots (one of the few non-insectoid Badniks), which sprinkled dust everywhere, mantis robots which shot boomerang blades, and ladybug robots which dropped spiked balls to harm Sonic. Sonic released the flowers within. Sonic took a quick peek at the future, and saw that the sky was dark, and the place looked very messed up! He went to find a portal to the past. There, Sonic found and destroyed the Badnik Maker and the Metal Sonic projector. When he went back to see the future, the sky was a beautiful shade of blue, and the place looked like a futuristic city! Sonic traveled to find another Time Stone... which he did!

Sonic then went to take on Eggman in the lovely Collision Chaos future and took on Eggman in his giant pinball table. Though slightly difficult to reach the top, when he did so, Sonic destroyed Eggman's bomb dropper and freed the flowers from the Force Pod! His next stop... Tidal Tempest!

Chapter 3: Tidal Tempest

The watery Tidal Tempest had dragonfly robots that patrolled the place, water strider robots which shot pellets at intruders, and among other things... two types of water beetle robots, both of which charged at Sonic when he entered their area. Sonic fought them off and took a look at the dismal future. The water was polluted, and much of the machinery that was there is devastated! Sonic got back to the present and went to the past. The place looked like a submerged temple. Sonic found and destroyed the projector and the Badnik Maker. Once back in the future, he saw a beautiful techno-oasis. Soon, Sonic searched for and found another time stone, which he added to his collection.

In the futuristic oasis of the Tidal Tempest, Sonic chased Eggman to an underwater pool, where he surrounded himself with bubbles. Sonic absorbed the bubbles, getting air that he needed, and soon hit Eggman when he was vulnerable. The water level soon went down, and he freed the flowers from the Force Pod!

Chapter 4: Quartz Quadrant

Sonic soon found the gem mine known as Quartz Quadrant. The Badniks here consisted of caterpillar robots, similar to Caterkiller; spider robots, which shot webs to slow Sonic down; snail robots with retracting spikes on their shells; and scorpion robots, with cannons on their tails. Sonic did away with them and saw that the future looks like city ruins. Sonic went back to try to prevent this dark future. In the past (which looks more wooden than stone), Sonic took down the Badnik Maker and Metal Sonic projector. In the more pleasant future, Sonic saw a forest, crystal mine, and high tech city in peaceful harmony. Sonic went to find yet another Time Stone and succeeded.

Sonic soon located Eggman in the pleasant future city. Sonic hit the booth and made it land on the conveyor belt. Sonic then had the idea to wear the booth down with the conveyor belt... like sandpaper. But he had to work quickly, since Eggman was using a bomb dropper to try to kill him! Soon, the booth wore down and Eggman ran for it. Sonic freed the flowers and continued his pursuit of Eggman.

Chapter 5: Wacky Workbench

Sonic soon learned how the Wacky Workbench got its name- reverse gravity floors, electrical barriers, and other bizarre objects! Sonic faced grasshopper robots, dropping bug robots, and bee robots with guns as stingers. When he saw the future, everything was destroyed. The place was a rusty pile of ruins. Sonic went into the past and saw the targets he was looking for and took care of them. The future then showed cute layouts and soon, he went to find the fifth Time Stone!

Once in the carnival like Wacky Workbench future, Sonic found Eggman and hit his ship. But every time he did so, it went through the ceiling, dropping blocks and triggering the electrodes. Soon, Sonic cornered Eggman and blasted his ship. Sonic freed the flowers within. Sally contacted Sonic and revealed that he is near where Amy is held-- the Stardust Speedway!

Chapter 6: Stardust Speedway

Sonic found himself in an airborne, twisting and turning street that is jazzed with stardust, lights, and music. Many bizarre bug Badniks were here, prominent among them were the firefly robots that created laser traps for Sonic. The future was truly dismal, as it showed a lightning storm across a devastated speedway. In the past, it looked like a Greek architecture project. Sonic took care of things here and returned to see a beautiful, neon lighted, starry night speedway. Finding the Time Stone here was more difficult, but he succeeded.

Sonic soon found Eggman, and he had Sonic chase Metal Sonic through a deadly race course. Sonic barely makes it through, and Metal Sonic was wrecked. Eggman picked up Metal Sonic to repair him, and Sonic freed Amy! Sally then contacted Sonic and told him of Eggman's hideout-- the Metallic Madness Zone!

Chapter 7: Metallic Madness

Metallic Madness was a name that suited Eggman well, for it was a giantic fortress with robotic paraphenilia. The main guards were beetle robots with sawblades on their beaks and strange bug robots that liked to through Sonic around. The future was even more horrific... something that fitted Eggman to a T. Sonic went to the past and saw that in the past, the zone was just under construction. Sonic took out the targets and saw the future as a beautiful city... similar to Mobotropolis. Sonic caught the last Time Stone and hunted down Eggman in the beautified Metallic Madness Zone.

It was a tough journey, and three firefly robots made it tougher, but Sonic found Eggman in his giant fan machine. Sonic had to time the attacks just right to hit him. Soon, Eggman was caught in an exploding Little Planet. Sonic, Sally, and Amy had to hurry out!

Ending:

Sonic, Sally, and Amy made it out of the Little Planet and back on the Mobius of the Sky. Sonic then cut the chain and let the Little Planet float. Soon, it vanished in a flash of light. The resulting explosion released star sparkles that made the dead landscape alive again, with lovely flowers. Sonic made a lovely flower crown for Sally. Amy gave Sonic and Sally a hug to thank them for saving her!
