Shadow-Robotnik's Ghost Cyborg

fanfic by Danny Wheeler

Chapter 1: The Skull Circuit Plate

In Dark World Mobius, Robotnik was tinkering away at a project. Soon, Negahog came and said, "What are you making, Julian?" Robotnik stopped and looked at his master with a smile. He said, "I am preparing a Skull Circuit Plate. With it, I plan to create a Ghost Cyborg. I shall use it to attack the Light World." "Very well, Julian..." replied Negahog, "But remember... bring Queen Sally to me alive!"

"Yes, Lord Negahog," replied Robotnik as he continued working. Meanwhile, in Light World, Sonic was teaching his son some speed tricks. "Now, son," said Sonic, "here's how you do a cool Sonic Spin!" "Let's see it, Pop!" replied Sonic Jr. Sonic buzzed through a hard wall. When SJ did it, he also made it through, but it took him a bit longer. "How did I do, Dad?" asked SJ. Sonic said, "Not too bad, though you took just a little bit longer. Your spines need to sharpen a bit more. Hey, don't worry about it. Let's go get a Chili-dog!"

Sally, meanwhile was reading in the library, since things were rather peaceful. Sally soon had a paper cut. Fortunately, Lily was also reading in the library. "You hurt yourself, Mommy?" asked Lily. "Just a paper cut, sweetie..." replied Sally. Lily healed her mother with her special healing ability. "Thanks, darling," said Sally.

Chapter 2: The Ghost Cyborg Rises

Soon, night had fallen in Light World. Robotnik had completed the Ghost Cyborg-- Specterborg-- and sent it out. "Specterborg," said Robotnik, "I want you to demonstrate your power and smash through this section of the Great Forest. That will show the people of Light World that we are a force to be reckoned with!" Specterborg nodded and shot away at the trees and other plant life. He even wounded some forest animals. After that, Specterborg returned. "Good, very good..." said Robotnik. "That's a good test run. Next night, we will invade!" The two returned to Dark World.

The next morning, Sonic, Sally, SJ, and Lily took a walk in the woods, only to find the carnage left by the Ghost Cyborg. SJ said, "Whoa! Check out the wreckage!" Lily said, "Who do you suppose did this, Daddy?" Sonic said, "Sounds like Shadow Robotnik made a new war toy." Jenny Lightspeed soon appeared. "Indeed it is," said Jenny. "Robotnik has created a Ghost Cyborg, named Specterborg. He cannot be defeated by normal weaponry. You will need an enchanted weapon."

Jenny then continued, "Sonic... you and your son must work together to create the weapon. Sonic Jr, the weapon is made of three things: The staff of a shepherd, the knife of a priest, and dust of a Chaos Emerald. Gather these three things and I will give you more instructions!" Jenny vanished soon after she said these things.

Chapter 3: Preparing a Counterstrike

"Well, SJ," said Sonic, "Let's go find those items Jenny mentioned!" "Yeah, Dad, let's go!" replied SJ. Sally said, "Lily and I will take care of things in case the Negapack shows up." Sonic and SJ went to a pasture outside Mobotropolis. There a shepherd said, "Welcome, King Sonic and Prince Sonic Jr. What brings you to my humble surroundings?" Sonic said, "Robotnik sent some Ghost Cyborg to attack last night. To counter it, we need to make a special weapon, and a shepherd's staff is one of the parts of it." The shepherd said, "Take one of my spare staves." Sonic thanked him and took it. SJ said, "That's one item down, and two more to go."

The two hedgehogs soon raced toward an old temple in the Great Jungle. SJ soon looked and found what looked like some old ruins. Sure enough, a temple was within. Sonic found some of the old logs and saw that a knife, used for sacrificial rites, was still on the altar. Now all there was needed was the dust of a Chaos Emerald. Using some of the scrolls in the temple, SJ opened a portal to a zone. "Now let's find a Chaos Emerald," said Sonic. Soon, once they reached the center of the zone (a feat that took about five minutes), they found a Chaos Emerald.

"Dad," said SJ, "all we need is the dust of a Chaos Emerald." He looked and noticed the gem shedding some of its outer shell. SJ scooped up some of the dust of the Emerald and said, "Thank you, Chaos Emerald!" SJ then read the incantation on the scroll again, and they transported right into Mobotropolis. And it was a good thing to, since the sun was starting to set.

Chapter 4: Destroying the Ghost Cyborg

Jenny appeared before the group. "Good job," said Jenny. "Now, place the dust on the knife blade, and then place the knife on the staff." SJ did thus. "Now, repeat after me..." said Jenny. SJ repeated the incantation:

"Weapon of Light, assemble anon,

Grant the light greater than the sun,

Now become my strength in this tool I hold,

When the enemy comes, your power unfold!"

Soon, the weapon merged into a spear-like weapon. The Ghost Cyborg, Specterborg, soon emerged once night fell. "I've come for the Queen!" shouted Specterborg. "No one takes my mom without a fight!" replied SJ as he used the weapon. With three swipes, Specterborg was dispelled! "NO!!!" cried Robotnik. "Specterborg! No! You'll pay for this, rodent!" Robotnik then retreated again to Dark World, until the next time.

Soon, the family returned to the palace to rest. The next morning, after a good breakfast, SJ used some magic (with Jenny's help) to restore the Great Forest region that was destroyed when Specterborg first attacked. "It's nice having things back to normal... well, to some extent," said SJ. Lily just giggled at her brother's remark.
