Chapter 1: Darkness begins to descend

Sitting in his large midnight black chair a fat man holding his hands on his belly laughed at yet another plot he had just come up with, his dark sunglasses showed a reflection of what his computer screen read off. He smiled evilly as he stood up and looked at the old stone tablet currently being scanned by various machines. The man walked up to the window of his room and looked out into the storm cloud his large flying ship was currently flying through, the rain drops tapped against the glass and he put his hands on his hips, laughing as the lightning struck in the distance casting his shadow over the hard wood floor.

"Finally I have come up with the foolproof plan! This time I have planned for everything! ESPECIALLY for that damn hedgehog to try to save the day! This time…I am ready to rid the world of him and bring everything under my control." Dr. Robotnik said as he walked over to a large glowing tablet and started to rub it with his hand; he smiled as he continued to rub the tablet and walked over to the small intercom on the wall next to the door.

"All hands on deck! It is time to put operation D-Day into action. Prepare the Egg Fortress for bombardment, it is time Station Square and all of mankind grows to worship me." Dr. Robotnik said manically.

Dr. Robotnik walked down the hallway towards the room listening to the robots scatter the metal hall getting to their battle stations. He sat down in the Captain's chair and looked down at his monitor at the city bustling with people, dancing and clapping as the annual New Year's Festival went on. Dr. Robotnik smiled as he slowly steered the ship over the city, he pressed a button on he armrest of his chair and said: "Fire."

The townsfolk danced around the park as the music played loud happy tunes, the children laughed and giggled as they chased each other around in the bright green field littered with trees. Suddenly the ground shook viciously and people pointed into the distance at the flaming cloud in the distance leveling the outer region of the city, the people screamed and ran for their children and for their homes as a large dark shadow cast over the park, the people ran through the grass and pushed open the gate as the large metal shell hit the ground unleashing a fiery blasts that instantly vaporized them and spread throughout the area leaving nothing behind.

3 Days had past since the Station Square was bombed to dust, any and all survivors were placed into the brig of Dr. Robotnik's ship. The fat doctor entered the holding room and activated the intercom near him.

"Greetings, former residents of station square, I know that I might not be the person you expected to save you from that ruined city, but do not worry as this ship is heading for a city that is safer than Station Square will ever be. You see Station Square sadly fell victim to an attack by what our ancient ancestors call…the Qerakon. A vicious race of monsters that until a few days ago was sealed deep within the Earth's core! Unfortunately Station Square's Oil Drilling mines in the Mystic Ruins broke through the barrier and released the monsters. Now do not fear, sadly I arrived too late to inform you of the attack, but by studying ancient text I have managed to find an area that is safe from them, protected by a massive wall that is powered by the Chaos Emeralds it will allow us to continue our lives as even now we are no match more them. However with your cooperation I will take over as ruler of this new world…and protect you all and together we will defeat this menace! If you have an objections then feel free to jump ship." Dr. Robotnik announced staring at frightened refugees.

The tattered refugees shivered in the cages as Robotnik exited the room; robots quickly appeared and served small plates of food to the captured humans.

Dashing across the deck a blue blur faded in and out of site followed by an orange blur. Stopping in-front of a thick secure door the blue hedgehog with peach arms and green eyes tapped his foot impatiently as the short orange fox with two tails frantically pushed the keys on his little gadget. With the final press of a button the door opened and the two dashed inside to find themselves in the middle of a large room with energy barriers blocking all the doors, as they turned around the large door slammed shut and locked them inside the room, slowly all the doors opened and swarms of robots poured out loading their blasters pointing at the two with intent to kill. The blue hedgehog scowled as the robots fired away at him, he ran to his right with lasers burning the ground behind him, he jumped up and ran on the side of the wall with red lasers bouncing all over the room, curling into a ball he threw himself at the robots smashing them to pieces in mere seconds, the chaos continued for what felt like hours and the blue hedgehog fought out the robots as the fox tried to open the door with Robotnik's symbol on it. Finally the robots stopped and standing onto of the pile of metal scrap stood a single blue hedgehog making fists with a rage in his eye.

He turned around to meet his partner when a man in a gray vehicle floated down holding a familiar rabbit in his hands. The Hedgehog and fox tightened their fists and gritted their teeth as the men laughed while holding the terrified rabbit.

"Welcome to the Egg Fortress! My latest in flying war machines." Dr. Robotnik said.

"What the hell do you think you are doing!" Sonic shouted furiously.

"I'm doing something I should have done along time ago!" Dr. Robotnik cackled.

"You bombed Station Square and enslave its people! Did you really think you could get away with such a thing! I thought you wanted to rule the world! Not destroy it!" Sonic roared.

"So true, but in order to rule it…I must destroy those who oppose me. Now…I suggest you surrender or Cream here dies!" Dr. Robotnik stated as he held the young bunny up, and slowly pressed his black handgun into the side of her head.

"You wouldn't!" Sonic gasped with a hint of uncertainty.

"But I will! Now SURRENDER or I'll kill her and your little fox too!" Dr. Robotnik demanded.

Sonic glanced around the room to find Tails being held by 2 robotic guards, Sonic looked back to Robotnik and scowled, he gritted his teeth till he could taste his own blood.

"You're bluffing!" Sonic shouted

"Oh really?" Dr. Robotnik said with a grin.

Dr. Robotnik snapped the gun back and with a solid "Bang!" fired a single bullet into Cream's skull causing blood to shoot out the back of her head and splatter on the floor, Robotnik smiled and threw the worthless corpse to the ground and emptied his clip into the corpse filling it with holes leaving a crimson red blood soaked body with smoldering deep black holes in it on the floor. Sonic's eyes opened wide at the site of Cream's dead body, Sonic scowled and slowly put his arms up as another army of robots swarmed the room and surrounded him and Robotnik.

"Take him away! Throw him and the fox in the brig!" Dr. Robotnik said while pressing the intercom button on in his Egg Mobile, "set a course for Angel Island!"

Robotnik smiled as he flew out the room and headed for the bridge of the ship.
