Disclamer:
Most of the stuff is on the prolouge, but before i forget, Star Wars (only a passing mention) Belongs To Lucas Arts
Also, the trooper bots are kind of suped up SWAT bots from Archie comics so the concept behind them belong to Archie too
Chapter 1: Where... or When am I?
I ducked quickly into an alleyway, I could probably have taken the robots easily, after all I took on an army of GUN robots, but from the looks of things I would say that the first patrol would probably call for back up. And what's more they where much more agile looking than the GUN robots, and when I say that where as a gun robot may look like a old spitfire, these looked like Falcons in comparison, and their hardware made GUN weapons look like pea shooters. They looked skeletal in appearance and where blue and white except for their red T like eyed helmet shaped heads, on their backs where two hover engines and a gun joined to their leg.
"What the heck is going on…" I said to myself "I should be dead, not in city full of robots I've never seen before. Where the hell am I anyway?" I then looked to my left and saw a poster with Eggman on it. He looked different, more like royalty than a pathetic mad doctor bent on world conquest. I ripped it from the wall to take a closer look at it. On the poster was written the words "serve him in all his glory, your leader and master, LORD ROBOTNIK"
"Or should I say When am I?" I Doubt I had been where I was too long before I woke, otherwise I would surly of been noticed, and I doubt Eggman could take over in less than a month, never mind the space of what could have been a day. He would have to deal with Shadow first, the remainder of Sonic's team, Metal's team, not to mention the help of those people that helped defeat me. And even if and when they eventually fell, he would have GUN to contend with. The only plausible explanation I could think of at the time was that Chaos Implosion doesn't kill the user but allows him to travel in time. In which case he had did my job for me… someone else may have been happy that he didn't have anything to do but mess around now, or might feel empty that his purpose in life was fulfilled. I on the other hand was angry; he had taken my fun away! I was going to make him pay before blowing the place to smithereens. In my rage I got careless, I threw the poster to the ground and stamped on it, this alerted a passing guard to me, he instantly turned and saw me. Its body language first voiced alert, then confusion for some reason, then attack position, he grabbed the handle of his gun which was nestled in his leg, I thought it looked dangerous already, but now it got worse as what I thought was a mega sized magnum unfolded and the but of the gun stretched out to show what I could describe as a mega machine rifle magnum. He placed his free hand on the trigger quickly and fluidly, and then relocated his first hand to under the barrel of the gun
"ALERT ALERT! HEDGEHOG IN SECTOR 1!" it yelled, just as soon and quickly all the other guards came to back up the robot, though it was doing quite well on its own. It turns out it was a laser rifle he had, and it was fully automatic, if I wasn't as fast as I was it would of cut my arm off with the first volley. The only thing that kept me alive was that I was faster than it targeting sensors I guessed, I tried to use a homing attack on it. Then I was alerted to its surprise, as it took its hand of the gun barrel, a blade shot from its wrist.
"Oh SH T!" I cursed; I had to quickly kick against its arm to avoid pointy death. The blade went into his chest, and damaged its power source I guess cause it fell to the ground instantly, but just as it went down its backup had arrived, I picked up the gun and shot at its companions, all fell instantly as I unloaded the full battery into them, I dropped it to the ground and swiped my hands together
"Not to bad, those were at least a little more challenging than GUN Laser Hunters"
But they weren't done with me yet, two small ships flew down towards me, I thought these would be like the beetles, but I was wrong. The ships quickly unfolded into what looked like bigger red and white versions of the robots I just faced with a little more muscle, except instead of hands they had two Vulcan cannon versions of the Rifle the other robots had, and then a bubble of energy formed around them. I tried picking up another gun to shoot at them but the blasts where just absorbed into the bubble.
"Oh boy, Outta here!" I yelled as I ra... made a tactical withdrawal. "Folding robots with big guns and shields, gee, does Eggman watch Star Wars much?" I tried to joke. I heard a humming sound, and turned to see they had folded again and where flying after me. I started to zigzag then run up a building and jumped into a window.
"Think I lost…" I Started
"Come now Shadow, you really think you can beat me?" Came a voice from below me
"What the?" I realised I was in a huge warehouse, on the second floor balcony. I looked down to see Shadow fighting another similar robot. However this was much bigger and had two huge hands, and on it's shoulders where giant cannons and it was black and white. There was a difference with Shadow too; he had a scar in the middle of his eyes, right up his red stripe.
The robot clearly had the upper hand as it towered over a floored Shadow. This is going to be good I thought to myself, I had always disliked Shadow, since I first meet him at my first awakening in my master's last base in mystic ruin. It was going to be fun watching a robot beat him up, plus since it was Eggman's it might be a good idea to watch it's fighting style in case I needed to beat it later to get to old egghead.
"Wouldn't hurt to try Gigacannon…" Shadow managed to splutter.
"That's where you're wrong… I'm gonna enjoy pounding you into the ground. And with you gone, the resistance will be weakened greatly" said the robot, it lunged forward aiming to punch Shadow. Lucky dog rolled out the way at the last second. "You are only prolonging your death by resisting you know." The robot mocked
It fired its cannons full force into Shadow, obviously injuring him greatly, but still he got to his feet. The robot wasted no time in smashing him in the face so hard he hit the wall. Blood ran down his face. I couldn't help but laugh, Shadow got Sucker punched! He must of lost touch in his old age; the Shadow I knew wouldn't get hit so easily. Sonic yeah, cause he was so cocky, but not Shadow.
I then found that laughing was a mistake, the robot turned "Who is laughing at…!" it stopped; its body language was one of surprise, just like those first robots. "WHAT? SONIC?"
…What did he just call me?
"You're alive! But Lord Robotnik assured us you died to his hand last week!"
How dare he call me…What?
"No matter. I don't know how you survived, but you aren't going to leave here alive!"
Did he just say…that Sonic was…?
My train of thought was interrupted as it charged its cannons to full and blasted me with them. It hurt… a lot. It was going to pay for that, first I'm shot at by its friends, then it calls me… Sonic… then has the audacity to say Eggman killed me, and now it shoots at me! My Patience had reached its limit.
"Ha! So cocky still, an actual warrior would not of hit you due to your speed."
His mocking would of made me angry, if I had been thinking straight. I rushed it and hit it hard in the chest with a homing attack; it didn't expect the attack and fell to the floor instantly.
"What the?" it cried out
"I… have… had… enough… OF BEING SHOT AT!" I yelled in rage as I landed
"No way, Sonic angry? He wasn't, made to be like that!"
"Time for you to learn why not to mess with an ultimate" I promised as I cracked my knuckles
it got back up quickly to try and defend against any attack, it seemed to be frightened. Good, I thought to myself. I jumped up into the air and threw my self at it, foot first. My kick connected, it was to slow to try and stop me, as I continued to kick it, the force of my feet bouncing of its chest keeping me air born till it fell over again. I landed quite nicely to another set of robot remains, and picked up one of the guns, and waited or it to stand back up.
"This is impossible," it said in a confused tone as it stood up "Sonic was never this powerful"
"HhhhhaaaRAAAAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled as I fired the full battery into his chest each shot filled with my rage, and not one missing its mark until the gun was empty.
"Imppppossssibllle….. Dammmage…index atttttt nninttty peeerceeent" it spluttered
I pulled the trigger a few times angrily till I realised I was out of power, and threw it into it with such power that the gun impaled into its chest, it fell to the floor and self destructed. I stood there wheezing for a moment "And that… is why you don't mess with an ultimate." I walked over to the debris and was surprised to find the blue emerald, I put it away thinking it may be useful later
"Sonic…?" I heard Shadow's voice behind me say
I was about to attack him for calling me that… as well as other things… until someone else came in.
"Shadow? You destroyed Gigacannon? That's unfair! You could have let me have some fun with it." I recognised him instantly; it was the wolf, Nite, who helped defeat me before by having the red emerald and helping find the cyan one. However he was different… for one he no longer had a leather jacket, in fact no cloths other than his gloves and boots. And his voice was much darker and gruffer than I remember. But that wasn't the oddest thing. His right arm… it wasn't… to say, normal… it was… robotic… and it looked like he hadn't aged at all. What ever anger I felt… it was gone and replaced by confusion
"I wish I could take the credit but, it was him!" Said Shadow pointing at me
"Who… SONIC!" he yelled "Gah! Robotnik lies to us again!" he said disgustedly
I had had enough of being called Sonic "Excuse me but you know who I am?"
"Yeah you're Sonic the hedgehog" said Shadow "have you got amnesia or something?"
"You sure?" I said as I eyed him suspiciously, surly he can't be that dense or have such a bad memory
Shadow got up "red eyes…"
"Blue downward pointing spikes…" added Nite
"Red shoes with a single white stripe"
"Black cuffs on shoes and gloves"
"Defiantly Sonic" they both said
If this had been some bad anime instead of real life I would of did that sweat drop thing and fall to the floor. As it was I probably had the face of the most bemused hedgehog in the world, they described me perfectly, and yet they still called me Sonic! Could they really of forgotten what that fool looked like? With those stupid green eyes and white cuffed gloves and shoes.
"We don't have time for any more twenty questions, I set the bomb, this place is gonna blow in 30 seconds" said Nite
"You know what to do then Nite" said shadow
"Right" he raise his arm, as two little rods went out, one wrapped around my arm and the other around Shadows.
"What the?" I said
A compartment opened in Nite's arm and the grey emerald stuck out a bit from it.
"Chaos…" said Nite
What? But he can't do that… can he?
"CONTROL!" he yelled as we were covered in green light and teleported elsewhere, the rods retracted and the emerald went back into his arm
But but, only ultimate life forms can do that! What is going on! Has the world gone nuts!
And explosion went off in the distance, I guess it was the base we where in.
"Mission accomplished with two extra bonuses." Said Shadow cheerfully "we got Sonic back and Gigacannon is down"
"The boss will be glad you are back blue boy" Nite added
Blue boy?... BLUE BOY?
"lets go home" said Shadow
I was in too deep to just destroy them and leave, and I was curious who this boss was, how Robotnik came to power and how Nite could use chaos control, so I decided to play along. For the moment
