Sonic's Ultimate Destiny

Part 1: The History of Joseph

Fanfic by Danny Wheeler

Chapter 1: A Tragedy Comes

Tragic days have soon come on Mobius. Sonic, the bravest of the Freedom Fighters, had succumbed to a nasty virus. This virus attacked the heart, lungs, and bloodstream. Despite the doctors' greatest efforts, Sonic had died. Sally mourned her husband... until she too died... of grief. Bunnie would now care for the now-orphaned children SJ and Lily. Some joy came back, however, as Antoine and Bunnie married. A year or so later, Bunnie had her own child, a son, named Joseph. But there was still the scar left when Sonic and Sally left this world.

Things soon went from bad to worse a short time after Sonic and Sally's death. Four Elementals, with the appearances similar to teenage Overlanders (Mobian humanoids), came out of hiding a short time later. These Elementals were created by the wizard Lizzar (before he turned good). The Elementals were Lithos (the Earth Elemental), Pyra (the Fire Elemental), Hydrona (the Water Elemental), and Vortex (the Air Elemental). At once, these Elementals soon wreaked havoc on Mobius, and Mobius was soon plunged into chaos! Tails carried Bunnie (who in turn was carrying little baby Joseph), while Dulcy the Dragon carried SJ and Lily to safety. Antoine took his stand to protect his family. "I weel not be a yellow-jellied coward!" said Antoine. But Lithos created a rock spear and tossed it at Antoine, killing him. Lithos cracked, "It would have been better a chicken than a dead duck, Twan!"

When word got out that Antoine was dead, Bunnie mourned for a few days, while SJ and Lily cared for Joseph. Soon, Bunnie came out of her seclusion to tend to her son again. Harmony and Melody joined the group, and they stayed together, doing what they could to cope with the chaos that was going on. A few years passed.

Chapter 2: Attack on the Wolf Pack

The Elementals were described as such. Lithos and Vortex were male, and Pyra and Hydrona were female. Lithos, the Earth Elemental, had brown hair and rock armor. Vortex, the Air Elemental, had blond hair and wore a white outfit similar to a rock star. Hydrona, the Water Elemental, had red hair, a headband, was barefoot, and had a modest one piece woman's swimsuit (the kind that covers the whole abdomen). And Pyra, the Fire Elemental, had black hair, a headband, was also barefoot, and a bikini on. All four Elementals took pleasure in the suffering of others. Vortex said, "So, who do we attack next?" Hydrona said, "I've a cool idea. Let's go invade the Wolf Pack's territory!" The four cheered as they went to attack.

SJ had a vision and said, "I have seen where the Elementals are going next!" Lily asked, "Where is it?" SJ replied, "They're going to attack the Wolf Pack!" The twins went to Bunnie and Tails, who were training Joseph (Joseph was now ten. Tails was now a young adult, and SJ and Lily were older teenagers.). Lily said, "The Elementals are going to attack the Wolf Pack!" The group gasped! Melody provided a portal to the Wolf Pack's region. But the Elementals already got there. Many of the wolves were killed or wounded. Lily tended to the wounded. Normally Melody would use the Resurrect Pendant, but she wouldn't have time needed for the pendant to work. SJ arrived, but too late to save Lupe, as she was killed when Hydrona created an Ice Sword and ran her through. "I'd like to hear you 'howl' in pain, but I've got to skate off!" cracked Hydrona as she escaped.

But SJ did get to Lupe as she was gasping her last breaths. She said, "Sonic Jr... listen to me... over the years... we've found some things in Rotor's office. We found... plans for a time machine... and a cure for the virus that... killed your father. You must... get them... find someone... to make the cure..." At that, Lupe breathed her last.

Chapter 3: Lily is Crippled

Soon, some nearby cities also became the target of the Elementals. This time, Joseph was old enough (he was now a teenager) to accompany Tails. Joseph and Tails flew off to one city, while SJ and Lily went to the other. SJ and Lily soon entered Gypsum Port. Pyra was wreaking havoc on the city, burning it to ashes. "This place is so last century," cracked Pyra. "Stop!" yelled SJ and Lily. "So, the royal brats have come!" said Pyra. "I haven't seen you since you were younger!" Lily said, "That was then... this is now!" Pyra soon prepared her Fire Whip and started to attack.

Lily drew her attention while SJ went and got a bucket. SJ filled the bucket with water, then splashed some at Pyra! "ACK!!!" she screeched. "Fire can't stand water, unless it is Greek Fire!" Lily then found a Fire Extinguisher and shot at Pyra. Enraged, Pyra cracked her Fire Whip at a suspended girder, which caused it to land on Lily! "LILY!!!" yelled SJ as he raced to his twin sister! "Sayonara!" said Pyra as she made her escape.

SJ used a Sonic Spin to cut the girder, and moved the pieces off of her. Lily cried out in pain. She tried to walk, but cannot. Even when she used her healing ability, she has lost her ability to walk. She would be crippled for the rest of her life. SJ carried Lily in his arms and raced back to Bunnie.

Chapter 4: Loss of a Friend

While SJ carried Lily back to Bunnie, an even greater tragedy would soon take place. Tails and Joseph arrived in Taigaopolis. Vortex, the Air Elemental, attacked the people therein. "Joseph," said Tails, "Get the people to safety. I'll take care of the Elemental." "Right..." said Joseph, "Good luck!" Tails nodded, then flew up to face Vortex. "Vortex!" shouted Tails, "Leave the people alone! Face me instead!" Meanwhile, Joseph got some people to safety, including a great scientist who would soon be crucial to changing history.

The fight soon continued. Vortex said, "Time to finish this!" He then let loose a lightning bolt that killed Tails in a split second! Tails' body fell to the streets below. Joseph heard the crash. "Tails!" cried Joseph. After Vortex flew off, Joseph went to the street of the ruined city. Tears flowed in Joseph's eyes as he neared the body of his friend. "Tails... no..." cried Joseph, "This can't happen... I can't let it end this way... no... NOOOOOO!" Joseph screamed out in rage.

The scream echoed throughout all of Mobius. SJ heard the scream and, after placing Lily in bed, raced over to Joseph. He gasped at the sight of the fallen Tails. "I'm... I'm sorry, Joseph..." said SJ. SJ provided a proper burial for Tails, then carried Joseph and the scientist to Bunnie. Bunnie was shocked to hear of Tails' death.

Chapter 5: Prepare to Change History

The scientist entered the house the group was in. Now, this scientist was also an Overlander, but not evil like Robotnik was. "I am Dr. Louis Solaris," said the scientist. "I wish to be of help in anyway I can." SJ, remembering what Lupe said before her death, raced to what was once Rotor's lab. After finding two pieces of paper containing the details, he returned. "I've heard of a time machine and a cure for daddy's virus. Can you help?" Dr. Solaris said, "Of course! I'll work on the cure for the virus right away. I just need a Time Stone to prepare the time machine." Amy Rose told of the Time Stones long ago, before Lithos and Hydrona gang attacked on her and killed her.

SJ raced around Mobius, looking for something that even resembled a gem that could go through time. Eventually, he found one. SJ raced back, with Time Stone in hand. Soon, the rest of the people Joseph rescued got to work on the time machine, following Dr. Solaris' instructions. The medicine is also ready. "Now," said Dr. Solaris, "We need a volunteer." Joseph said, "I'll go. Since I was born after Sonic and Sally died, I can go in almost unnoticed."

Bunnie bade her son good luck as Joseph entered the time machine. He set it to a few months before the virus struck. Joseph said, "I'll get Sonic and Sally in private, ask them to keep my identity secret (at least till I'm born), and get things ready from there. I'll be able to save Mobius yet!"
