Chapter 1: The Calm Before The Storm
Days After the War against Eggman and Infinite
It cuts to the 'Fastest Thing Alive' himself, Sonic The Hedgehog speeding throughout the Green Hill Zone, with a smirk on his face, since he helped the Resistance in stopping Eggman, and his new assassin, Infinite, from taking over Mobius. Not only that, but Eggman has been out of commission for a while after the war.
"Things are finally going back to normal, since Eggman's been defeated." said Sonic, with a smile on his face. "I'm just hoping that things stay that way."
Sonic then sat under a tree, resting under the shade. He then noticed a baby rabbit lollop up to him, and he gave it an apple-slice for it to munch on.
"You little guys don't have to worry, since Eggstache is out of the picture for a while." said Sonic, petting the rabbit's head.
Meanwhile, it cuts to Eggman in his laboratory, fuming over his defeat at the hands of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends. He was pacing angrily
"I was this close to ruling Mobius! I was THIS GODDAMN CLOSE to being rid of Sonic and his friends for good! But do I win!? Of course not! I will NEVER WIN, NO MATTER WHAT I DO!" Eggman ranted, getting angrier by the minute.
"Perhaps we can be of assistance." said a voice belonging to Eggman's nephew, Snively Robotnik. Alongside Snively were Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts. With Scratch, Coconuts, and Grounder having MegaMan X esque body designs.
"We all want to see Sonic and his friends down on their knees." said Scratch "And we all brought some friends with us. Remember Sleet and Dingo?"
Eggman looked to see a pair of Mobian wolves. One was gray with orange eyes, while the other was orange and muscular with ratty yellow hair and green eyes.
"We also brought the Suppression Squad with us, too." said Coconuts, revealing to have brought Sonic's doppelganger, Scourge, alongside Alicia, Miles, Boomer, Patch, and Rosy.
"Wait, where's Fiona?" said Scratch
"She defected, because she's starting to 'regret' joining our team." said Scourge "So, not only did she quit, but she dumped my ass and kicked me in the freaking nadds with a spiked boot! I'm still pissing blood, as of late!"
"Who needs that hag?" said Rosy, rolling her eyes. "It's not like she's gonna re-join the Freedom Fighters or anything, after what she's done."
Meanwhile, Sonic was seen speeding throughout Mobius, until he saw a certain Mobian female red fox facing off against Eggman's robots. With her was a Mobian based off of a great Maned Wolf armed with a Variable Wispon. This wolf was dressed in attire styled like Dante from the modern Devil May Cry games, mainly DMC1, crossed with Aincrad Arc Kirito from Sword Art Online. His fur was golden orange on his head and torso, with black fur on his hands, forearms, and legs, a black mane, a distinctive white bib beneath his throat, and a tail like what Tails and Fiona had with golden orange fur, and a whitish tuft at the tip of it.
"Fiona?" said Sonic, as he sprinted up to the red colored vixen
"Hi, Sonic. Long time no see." said Fiona, sounding like Starfire in certain DC animated films. "I kinda decided to quit working for Scourge and Eggman, because I was fed up with how Scourge treated women, and he sleeps with Rosy instead of me. He even bullies me, too."
"Damn. Sorry to hear that, Fiona." said Sonic "Who's the new guy you have with you?"
"This is my new friend, Brad Jacobson, the Great Maned Wolf." said Fiona, introducing her new friend.
"Hello." said Brad, sounding like Dez Wade from Austin & Ally, as he was looking at Sonic "I'm a big fan of yours, Sonic."
"It's nice to meet a fan of mine." said Sonic, smiling at his friend.
Later, Sonic's friends have learned from Sonic that Fiona has come back to the Freedom Fighters because of the fact that Scourge had used, abused, and bullied her to the point she dumped him, and quit the Destructix.
"So, Scourge bullied and abused you?" said Tails, showing some concern for Fiona
"Yes. Whenever I spoke out against his actions, he'd hurt me." said Fiona "It once got to the point where I had to go for a knife to protect myself."
"Damn, sorry to hear that, Fiona." said Knuckles, feeling sorry for one of their old friends.
"I won't do that kind of stuff to you, Fiona." said Tails "I've still loved you, no matter what."
"Thanks, Tails." said Fiona, with tears in her eyes, as she hugged the two-tailed fox "For never giving up on me."
"No problem, Fi." said Tails, smiling.
Sonic was then busy in the base, training, until he noticed Amy arrive. To Sonic's surprise, she looked...different. She grew her quills out until they reached her hips, and her attire was different. Amy wore a a cerise hairband and a cerise minidress with a white collar, yellow buttons on the her left side, and a lavender sarashi around her waist. She also wears white gloves, purple sports tape and golden ring bracelets around her wrists, purple stockings, and dark-pink/violet shoes with light pink soles and toes, gray straps, and pink plates with two yellow buttons on top.
"Hi, Sonic." said Amy, with a seductive smile "How do I look?"
"Amazing." said Sonic, blushing. He was slowly starting to develop feelings for Amy.
"Thanks, Sonic." said Amy with a smile, as she playfully bumped Sonic's side with her hip. She then strutted off.
'She's gotten more beautiful over time. And she's basically embraced her inner tomboy.' thought Sonic 'I have to tell her my feelings. I just have to find the right moment to do so.'
With that, Sonic walked to his room, where in his desk drawer was...a plush Amy with green buttons for the eyes!
Later, the gang were learning something from Brad, about what happened after the death of Infinite the Jackal, and the destruction of the Phantom Ruby
"Phantom Mutants?" said Tails
"They're kinda like the Inhumans from Marvel Comics." said Brad "They're Mobians who have been given superpowers due to the Phantom Ruby's energy after it's destruction. Some have elemental superpowers, some have energy based powers, some can fly, some have psychic powers, and more."
"Maybe we can recruit some of them to help us if Eggman decides to attack Mobius again!" said Amy.
(To Be Continued)
Next Time, Sonic and co. encounter some new Phantom Mutants like Corey the Tiger and his fiancee, Zoey the White Tiger, as well as Elizabeth the Snow Leopard, Gloria Grizzly, Angelica the Chaos Dragon, and Brad's elder sister, Maya, who are in hiding because of the fact they fear that Eggman will have them enslaved. They agree to join the Resistance, when word gets out that Eggman has returned. Fiona is recovering from PTSD due to being in an abusive relationship with Scourge. Will our heroes be able to stop their foes, and save their new friends? Find out in Chapter 2: The Phantom Mutants
