Chapter Six: Operation Stardust Revealed
Sonic and his friends sat in Eggman's Lair, seeing a large projector screen in front of them came on where it was 100% complete. The screen changes to a couple of sections. The drone was controlling the whole thing since he's a computer type. He click on the section where it changes to a timeline back to two weeks ago, showing the planet Mobius and zooming on Eggman's Base. "It was that time of where Dr. Eggman was coming off another grueling defeat to Sonic and his friends. He was really growing impatiently. Everything he had. All the weapons and robots of his creation came to a failure and he was getting desperate by the day. Nothing he can to take on Sonic. However, it was five weeks ago that changes everything."
The screen zooms into the base of his large office. Showing Eggman with his head down on his desk in defeat. Doesn't even know what to do. Suddenly, a plan came into his mine. He went through his desk showing a blueprint of a rocket. "Five weeks ago, Dr. Eggman had an idea where he was planning something as his final hail mary attempt. He came across a blueprint of one of his own creations he made a while back. It was a satellite rocket he built a long time ago. He would sent that rocket into space the next day."
The screen changes to the rocket being launched from his launch pad on the edge of the ocean near the base. A map shows of where the rocket was heading. Once in space, the rocket it self open the top of it. Revealing a Space Satellite appearing from it. It launches with its own booster towards the deep space.
"The satellite itself exit from the rocket in space and launch towards its destination. Doctor Eggman waited patiently for any data and reports from the rocket for a couple of days at his desk until finally he got the first data. The satellite's location is above the planet's atmosphere known as Earth."
The screen changes to the satellite's point of view showing the Planet Earth. From its camera view, it look across the big island country of Japan. Zooming towards its target, it shows the city of Musutafu. There shows smoke rising above an area of the city. Zooming in towards where it was, a battle was happening. It shows a large monster terrorize the city. The others were shocked to see this. "A creature? Attack the city?" Charmy Bee asked.
Both Sonic and Tails were not surprise by it. They known a little about Quirks ten years ago. But they haven't told the others about it. They decided to let them see for themselves.
"There's more to it. Watch." the Camera Drone said.
They look to the screen to see Kamui Woods jumping in to action against the Giant Villain. Then the camera cuts to Death Arms, saving civilians lives from one of the utility line poles he caught Camera cuts showing Backdraft using his Quirk to make sure civilians stayed in the safe zone while they watched the scene unfold. Then finally, shows Mount Lady in her giant form, finishing off the villain with her kick to the face. The battle ended from there. "Wow, humans have powers?" Cream asked as the others were surprised by the clips.
"Chao." Cheese said.
Both Sonic and Tails were little surprise. Though they saw that others would have Quirks, they never seen other people like All Might in superhero costumes helping save lives.
The others were surprise by the whole thing. "Quick question." Vector spoke. "How in the world does these humans have powers?"
"I have no idea. Even Eggman doesn't even know about. And that's why we're about to go to the next part of where this happens." The drone explained where the screen changes back to Eggman's Lair where the doctor was talking with Snively and his minions. "Once the data was rely back to the Mobius, Eggman was stunned by the reports from Earth of humans having these type of powers. He ordered Snively and his robots to come to the office and brief them about the situation. They were very surprise by it. Eggman want more information from and he's been getting them in the coming days."
The screen changes back to the satellite's point of view of Musutafu of more videos of humans with Quirks. The others was surprise by more of the information including humans dressed in costumes as Heroes going against the people that are the threat. "With all the information he had, Eggman begin making his move and Operation Stardust was born. In the next coming days, Eggman launch a couple more rockets to space. They're were all heading towards Earth. From there, he began building a brand new space station which would be his home for the time being. The ship he was building is called the Death Egg."
Screen changes to the Death Egg. It shows the blueprints, zooming in on every section of the ship. From the top and below. It shows the face of Doctor Eggman himself. "Wow, that one big space station." Charmy Bee said.
"Eggman has to be that bold to build a kind of ship in space." Rouge said.
"I wonder if the humans on Earth sees the Death Egg from the planet. That could cause everyone to be on alert." Espio said.
Tails look back at Sonic with a glare. The hedgehog saw that moment, shrugging his head. But he knew what his partner was talking about. "Damn it, I knew this day would come. Wish Sonic would never give that emerald to Izuku." he thought.
"Unfortunately, the people on Earth aren't aware by the sighting of the Death Egg." the drone explained. "Eggman ordered the ship to be cloaked as it doesn't exist but just space. If he didn't do it, the people of Earth would've very well be on alert and the whole operation would've been a failure. But Eggman is not that stupid. But anyway, once the station is getting constructed smoothly, he announced another big robot to be build in the Death Egg. A robot that is a big weapon that can take down anything in its path. That robot is known as the Great Eggman Robo."
Screen changes to the visual images of the Great Eggman Robo. Showing the blueprints that resembles the Death Egg Robot. But this one was much bigger than many of the robot Eggman has made in the past. The others were very surprise but Sonic was not that much. He's been there before and he couldn't wait to get his hands on the new robot.
"And there's a reason to it on why Eggman stole the Master Emerald. Is because he wants the emerald to be use on his new weapon as a Power Source to make it more stronger." the drone said.
"Not surprise that they would take it." Knuckles said, hitting his fist with his hand. "Though the Chaos Emerald is strong, the Master Emerald is the strongest one of all. There's a reason why I've protected for so long as part of the Echidnas tradition… Ow!"
Rouge deliver a punch in the back of Knuckles' head. "Maybe if you didn't pay attention to the Buzz Bombers last night, you should've known that they were decoys for Eggman to knock you out with a dart, then the emerald would've been taken, Knucklehead!" she said.
"Guys, just calm down. We're not done yet." Sonic said, getting in between the two. "Still gotta find out what's Operation Stardust really is. Because that's the name of this operation Eggman is carrying it."
"Very well then. To the most important thing that you've been looking for. Operation Stardust." the Camera Drone explained. "This is perhaps the most serious operation Dr. Eggman has been planning for. With him already leaving Mobius, he moves his base of operation to his new home the Death Egg. From there, he will launch one of the greatest invasion ever. By doing so, he will look to defeat these humans who possess these unknown powers. By then, he will try to eliminate the entire world military standing in his way. After that, he will complete his invasion and a new One World Government is officially established for the Eggman Empire. Then all hope will be lost after that."
The same time, the screen shows the Planet Earth with Eggman Forces moving in to launch the invasion. All of Planet Earth was covered in red and the Eggman Empire logo appeared on it, signally the 100% takeover of the entire planet. "That is so harsh and scary." Charmy Bee said.
"It just shows us that Eggman is a sore loser because Sonic and ourselves has been beaten him throughout the years. He decided to take his frustration on another planet, getting away from us so he'll take it easy way." Espio said.
"So what are we going to do now?" Amy asked.
Sonic felt a tap on his shoulder. He turn around to see Tails with the same glare look on his face. "I need to talk with you, privately." The fox cub walk to the exit.
"Guys, Tails and I need to talk so just continue watching and let us know what happens." Sonic said, following Tails to the exit of the base.
"Wonder what they're talking about?" Blaze asked.
"Maybe a new plan to go to Earth to go after Eggman?" Silver asked as Shadow walk next to then with his arms cross.
"No… there's something else that I know what is." he said as the other look at him, suspiciously.
Sonic and Tails exit from the base. The two stood next to it when the fox cub turn around, pointing his finger at the hedgehog with an angry face. "I knew it! I knew all along this would come! Now Eggman heading for Earth to invade, and you have to give Izuku the emerald! I said bad things would come if you gave him the emerald!" he said in angry tone.
"What am I suppose to do? You saw how Izuku was devastated when he didn't have a Quirk! Did you saw how devastated his mom was that night in the room?" Sonic asked.
"Yes it was devastated to see him not having a Quirk. He want it to be like All Might, saving people lives with a smile. But the problem was is that giving him the emerald when I said bad things would come." Tails said as Sonic rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't going let his dreams of becoming a hero shattered like that. Besides, I made a promise to him that I would return to Earth to see him if he accomplished his dream." the Hedgehog said.
"Well, now! It appears that reunion has come in a bad time with Eggman launching his invasion on Earth! We might not make it in time! That's gonna be the problem and if Eggman sees Izuku with that Chaos Emerald in his hands, he may capture him and who know what he will do!" Tails said.
The hedgehog shook his head, letting out a sigh before turning to his friend. "Look! Yes, I made a big mistake of giving the emerald and you're right. But we can't go back in time and change everything. It is what it is. Right now, we need to think of a plan to get to Earth. I mean we can take the Tornado like we did before. If we don't, we're gonna be too late by the time Egghead launch his invasion." Sonic said.
Tails was in deep thought. Trying to find out how they can get to Earth. They did use the Tornado before but with everyone coming to help, they need a bigger ship. Until something caught up in his head. "I think there is one large ship. But its in the secret hanger below my workshop. I've haven't been working on it in a while since Eggman kept attacking the island." He said.
"Can you get it to fix on time? We're wasting a huge load of time to get to Earth." Sonic said.
"Dude, you can't rush me on other things. You have to understand this ship is gonna take a while to get it fix. I can't just go forward and rush things until its properly fix. This things take time, Sonic." Tails said.
"We don't have time, Tails! Eggman is about to get Izuku!" Sonic yelled.
"Well if you didn't gave him the Chaos Emerald! None of this would've happened!" Tails yelled back.
"You know what, just forget about it!" Sonic yelled, walking away from the base.
"Where you think you're going?" Tails asked.
"Somewhere where its peace and quiet! Let me know today, tomorrow, or another week when you fix the ship!" Sonic yelled back, walking away.
Tails could only shook his head in anger as he walk back to the base. Perhaps for the first time, the two have an argument on going to Earth. Perhaps with that, it may cost them big.
Two Days Later- Dagoba Municipal Beach Park
As Sonic and his Friends were prepping for their journey to Earth, back in Musutafu, the morning sun rises behind the Pacific. At a beach park, Izuku began his long quest of becoming the next Symbol of Peace. The beach was once a place for many people to come and enjoy the view of the ocean, now been turn into a junkyard. Trash everywhere was piled up on the sand. However, it was a good place for Izuku to begin his training.
Izuku begin pulling a rope connected to a refrigerator. On top of it, All Might sat there in his muscular form, looking down at his student, pulling the object. The green aura surrounds the boy's body thanks to the Chaos Emerald activate for the usually workout he did before he met the Symbol of Peace. The emerald itself was inside the boy's shorts pockets. All Might was surprised by it as he continues to pull it forward. He look to his right to see both Principal Nezu and Recovery Girl also attending the training ground. Nezu has a stop clock in his paw, seeing the time of how long Izuku continued to pull the object.
Once Izuku got towards the seawall, Nezu push the button to stop the time on the stop clock. "Time's up." He said.
"All right, that's enough. You can stop pulling." All Might said.
The boy dropped the rope, falling to his knees. Exhausted with a ton of sweat all over his body. He breathe in and all, trying to get his composer in gear. The blue aura disappeared and the emerald's light dimmed at the same time. "T-That.. was… crazy..." Izuku said, breathing at the same time before turning to his idol. "I… guess you saw what I've been doing with the emerald while I work out."
Recovery Girl walk up to the boy, giving him a bottle of water to get himself dehydrated and a towel to wipe the sweat off from his face. "Wow, sonny. You got a ton of great muscles for a the ladies to show you are." She said, teasing the boy.
"U-U-Uh y-yeah that something." Izuku said, looking away with a blush on his face.
"I have to admit. The emerald you have can give you strength and power. After seeing what you can do to the refrigerator, despite All Might sitting on it, you can pull it with your strength. The one I'm very interested in is how you can handle One for All and the emerald at the same time. We saw that with All Might when he beat the villain two days ago." Nezu said.
"Seeing the muscles he has on his arms, he may have a shot at my Quirk. If he had a weak body and my Quirk One For All is a whole lot to handle. he combine physical abilities of everyone who's ever use it, creates a hurricane of pure force. An unprepared body can't fully inhered. Your arms and legs will shoot up if you tried to!" All Might said.
"Seriously?!" Izuku comically scarred by that reaction. But shakes it off, dragging his hands up and down on his arms. "B-But, I do have the emerald with me. If I can use your Quirk and the emerald at the same time, my arms and legs wouldn't shoot out… wouldn't it?"
"That's what we're very interested in seeing. All Might and myself were discussing about it before you came to the beach. We agree that he will give you his Quirk. But as a reward, you must clean the entire beach by getting rid of all this trash throughout and place it on a truck parked in the parking lot next to the beach. Of course All Might will drive it to a nearby junkyard in the city. But either way, this is your objective throughout your training." Nezu explained.
"Really? You mean all this?" Izuku asked, with his eyes wide looking around the trash surrounding the entire beach. But,… there's so much… THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Don't worry, sonny. I'll be here keeping a close eye on you. You can breaks at the time you need it. Plus, the timetable to get it all done will be a 10 month span. You'll have plenty of time to get every done." Recovery Girl said.
"Plus that 10 month span will be leading up to the U.A. Entrance Exam. You'll be part of that I've already made arrangements for it." Nezu said.
"But there's another reason too. I did a little online research yesterday. Turns out this part of the beach is beautiful. But it became a mess for the past few years." All Might said
"That's right." Izuku got on his feet, looking around at the trash that surrounds them. "Because of the ocean currents, anything that dropped in the water, ends up here. People take advantage of that when they're illegally dumping their trash. Now all the locals avoid this place."
"Heroes these days are all about showing off and capturing flashy villains." All Might walk behind the fridge, placing his hand on top of it. With all his might, he begin squashing the object. "Things were different before Quirks. Service what matters. Back then, heroes would help the community. Even if it was catagoric." After that, a force of wind wipes out the trash behind him. It shows the view of the ocean with the sun coming up. "You'll restore the coast line for this entire section of the beach. That is the first step on the path, young man. Towards becoming a hero."
"I-Its gonna be too much to handle." Izuku said, looking around at the trash again.
"You want to get that Quirk and go to U.A, Midoriya?" Nezu asked.
"Well, yeah. Of course." he answered. "You went there. So it must be the best school around, right?" He looks down at his fist with a smile. "Its a long shot. But still, I'm gonna shoot for the moon. I made a promise to both Sonic and Tails 10 years ago that I want to be a hero. Hopefully, they return, they'll see be that hero."
All Might pulled out a couple of papers in his hands. "I knew you got some heart in you. Now then, With the help of my handy Aim to Pass American Dream Plan. Follow this to the letter and the beach will be cleaned up just in time. I also detailed every other aspect of your life." He gave the papers to the boy where he examining every single paper.
"Even my sleep is scheduled." Izuku said.
"If I'm being honest, this is gonna be super hard. Think you up to it? I'll give you permission to use the Chaos Emerald if you think you can't do it." All Might said.
Izuku stuttered nervously, seeing all the information and schedule of the training he was about to endure. "S-Sure I am… I-I have to work harder for anyone else to get in. So what choice to I have right?" he asked.
"Don't worry, Midoriya. you'll be use it for whole 10 months like its nothing else." Nezu said.
With that, Izuku begins the long 10 month training to take part in the upcoming U.A. Entrance Exam. The road to become the next Symbol of Peace begins. It was a grueling one he was about to go through, but he dream of becoming a hero wasn't gonna be wasted. Even when he's Qurikless. Both All Might and Nezu stood next to one another seeing the boy get to work by using the emerald to help him. Recovery Girl stood by near the boy in case he was exhausted.
"I'm still curious on why this Sonic and Tails guys gave Young Midoriya the Chaos Emerald? Of course what he said it was for to train hard to become a hero. There's more to it that the boy hasn't told me." All Might said.
"You said you met the Mystic Chief did you during the villain attack on the Shopping District." Nezu said.
"I did. He just told me that the emerald gave me strength and not to worry about my scar. Once I found out, the scar was gone right before I left to see the boy. Good news I don't need to cough blood no more. But I'm still at the part of my limit continuing. Maybe when Sonic and Tails returns to Earth, I'm gonna have a chat with them about that emerald. What does the object holds? Not only strength but something else. For now, my focus is getting this kid to become my successor." All Might said.
Nezu change to another subject. "About that part. Did you talk to your "friend" about that?" He asked.
All Might stood silence, looking at the ocean until he spoke. "Yes… and he's not happy about…" He answered.
"I see." Nezu said as they look at Izuku working.
As the long training began, they didn't notice that one of the Egg Drones were spying on them.
Back on board the Death Egg, Eggman and his robot minions were watching Izuku using the Chaos Emerald again as it shows him pulling another large object. All Might was giving Izuku orders to where he would put the trash in the white truck that was parked near the beach. Both Nezu and Recovery Girl look on as Orbot got data and information on them. Scratch on the other hand, look to his right where the Chaos Emerald Radar grew stronger because of Izuku using it as part of his training. They heard the conversation throughout.
"So the big man decides to train this boy to become a hero. Give me a break." Eggman said, slapping himself. "The only way he would use all those trash is by carrying it all on a truck. I mean, is this stupid or dumb… or both I can say?"
"He is using the Chaos Emerald as part of the training so maybe that can help." Scratch said.
"Idiot! That Chaos Emerald the boy has should be mine in the first place. I'm still wondering how in the world he got the emerald?" Eggman asked.
"He did mention that both Sonic and Tails gave him the emerald. Question is though is when and how it happened." Orbot said.
"Come on. You guys would think that meddling hedgehog would show on Earth a long time ago. But anyway, we need to stay in track. It looks like from I heard is they are gonna be training for ten months. This Izuku kid is going to this school called U.A." Eggman said.
"I'll look in to this U.A. place right now." Orbot said, typing in on the screen.
"Hey, boss. I just found out information on that creature on the screen. You won't believe this." Decoe said, referring to Nezu. "That person is the Principal of this U.A. thing and the short lady is the nurse as well."
"Wait a mintue, are you saying that creatrue is the Principal of this U.A. thing?" Eggman asked as Decoe nod his head.
Everyone one stood silence until laughter broke out. "That is the most funniest thing I've ever seen. I can't believe it he would be the Principal. Its ridiculous I say."
"Its stupid I say." Scratch said, laughing.
"It is stupid. That a creature that should be robotized." Grounder said, laughing.
"All right, enough laughing. I heard that they're doing this training thing for 10 months." Eggman said as the laughter stopped.
"Ten months? You're kidding?" Bocoe asked.
"But, boss. What are we're gonna do for ten months? We should just launch the invasion now." Grounder said.
"Even though I'll agree the ten months will be longer than ever. However, will be able to keep a close eye of how the boy's training goes. We keep our drones on them for the next couple of months. The other drones can continue their surveillance throughout the city for the time being. Also, I don't want to rush in to launch the invasion. We can build up more of our forces and train them in these months ahead. I want to plan slowly and think what we can do. Besides, my "project" is already training hard for his part soon." Eggman explained.
Scratch put a finger on his chin, thinking of a plan to do. He brought up an idea. "Boss, how about this idea. Since we can wait for the invasion to launch, remember the last two battles we recorded from our drones? The first had that big monster and the second has that sludge monster. They were both beaten. What if we can find the same ones like them that hates the heroes and recruit them to the Eggman Empire. Will not only have a strong force of robots, but a strong force a bad guys." Scratch said.
The others look at the Chicken Badnik before turning back to the doctor. Eggman sat there, thinking of Scratch's idea. "You know what… that sounds like a great idea. For the first time, I praise you for something that is the best plan any minion would've brought up." he said.
Scratch smiled, looking back at the minions who was giving him glares. He smirk and flick the tongue towards them.
"Suck up." Grounder said.
"You just brought that up so the boss can feel you're the best ever than us." Bocoe said.
"Yeah? And you guys are still that stupid and dumb to think any plan like I just made!" Scratch said.
Suddenly, the doors open behind Eggman. He turn his chair to see Snively entering the bridge. Earlier, he was at the training center with their "project." "Sorry for the delay, our "project" is doing good. He destroyed a couple of robots in a span of 4 seconds. A record I would say." he said, looking at the screen of Izuku picking up another round of trash on the beach. "So, how's our targets doing?"
"Seems that All Might has already begun training this boy by picking up trash on this beach. One of drones scanned the entire beach and it was all piles of trash. I mean, somebody should be fined for throwing trash on the beach. But, I have a ton of trash of destroyed robot parts from the past so it would be fine to put them on the beach." Eggman said, jokingly. "Sense of Humor. Anyway, we heard that the training will be for 10 months because I did hear them talking about this school they were calling U.A."
"U.A.?" Snively asked.
"And you know what's funny. That rat in the suit. The one's talking to All Might, he's the Principal of this U.A. thing." Scratch said, pointing his finger on the screen showing Nezu.
"You mean that person is the Principal?" Snively asked with a shock face.
"Even I was shocked that a little animal is the principal? Anyway, changing subject/ Orbot's looking into where this U.A. building is at. But the training itself will be for 10 months." Eggman said.
"10 months? That is a long time." Snively said.
"But I did mention to the others that will have enough time to prepare our robots and build up more of them for a stronger force. I'm not gonna rush to the invasion. Until the time comes, will wait for the proper time to strike." Eggman explained. "Though, Scratch brought up a big plan which I think will be a better idea."
"Really?" Snively asked, looking at Snively before turning back to Eggman. "What is it?"
"Scratch has an idea with these 10 months, we can recruit the villains that we saw earlier in the other two battles we recorded. If we have our drones look around for any villain activity in these next couple of months, we can recruit any of them to be part of the Eggman Empire. Let's say that they could be our spy scouts on the ground for anything. Our empire will be stronger than ever." Eggman explained.
"I like that idea. But the question is, how can we get to these villains to join with us?" Snively asked.
"Don't worry. I'm a good deal negotiator. I can handle them myself. For now, our mission objective stays the same. Will be keeping a close eye on the boy and All Might during these next 10 months. Our other drones will be continuing doing recon missions in the city for other hero activity. We have a lot to study until we launch the invasion." Eggman said.
"Hopefully this plan would work. We have a lot of work to do for these next months ahead." Snively said.
"Oh I forgot to mention that when we found All Might and the boy talking after the battle, we saw a glimpse of his "real" identity." Eggman said.
"Why you mention about that?" Snively asked.
"We can use that a blackmail to get him to join our empire. That could be his weakness." Eggman said with a smirk.
Meanwhile, back on Mobius, night time came. Everyone on the island were asleep. However, Sonic was the only one that was still awake. He walk to he usually beach spot to lay back like he did earlier. He stopped in front of the ocean shore hitting the beach. Looking up, see the stars and full moon bright up the night sky. He was not in a good mood after his argument with Tails earlier about giving Izuku the Chaos Emerald and Eggman preparing his invasion on Earth.
The hedgehog shook his head and sighed. "Maybe Tails was right. I guess I did made a mistake of giving Izuku the Chaos Emerald." he thought. "But what am I suppose to do? Just let him live his life misable and his dream of becoming a hero ends with nothing? I don't know what to do and how did we came to this point."
Suddenly, a twig was heard being snapped behind the Hedgehog. Sonic quickly turn around at the jungle behind him. He look around to see who it was. He think it could just an animal nearby looking for food or something because Eggman was no longer on Earth. It was now silence since the sound was heard. Only sound was heard was the ocean shores hitting the beach.
"I guess that was nothing." He thought before shrugging his shoulders and turning around to look back at the ocean, only to encounter a familiar face.
"Boo." the figure said.
"What the hell?" Sonic jumped up before landing back down to see who it is. He was shock to see that person laughing at him.
A middle-aged hedgehog with light blue fur, almost similar to Sonic. He has a thick, grey mustache that obscures his mouth, thick grey eyebrows arching over his blue eyes. He wore a maroon colored, slightly pointed shoes with two dark yellow straps, white cuffs, and white gloves.
"I tell you, nephew. You always the same hedgehog that I scarred you a lot." Sir Charles the Hedgehog said.
"Uncle Chuck? You gotta be kidding me! Its good to see you. Its been a while." Sonic said, hugging his uncle.
"Its good to see you too, Sonic. You grown up quite a bit." Charles said.
"What are you doing here?" Sonic asked.
"Well, I came back to the island to see you again. See how you were doing. I've been very busy with adventures with my good friend Professor Pickle. You might remember him when you were younger. We can talk about that for another time. The reason I've came back is that I heard you and Tails had an argument about giving a Chaos Emerald to a human boy." Charles answered as Sonic was stunned about that answer.
"What? How in the world did you know that?" Sonic asked.
"Because I told him that." a voice caused Sonic to flinch. He look to see a Dark Hedgehog walking out of the jungle, towards him and his uncle.
"Shadow? What on earth are you doing here? Did you call my uncle and told him that? On second that, how did you know the whole thing?" the blue hedgehog asked as Shadow stood in between Sonic and Charles, looking at the night sky with his arms crossed.
"You and Tails must've had an argument earlier today outside the lair." the Dark Hedgehog explained. "I saw Tails walking back inside with an angry look. Many of the others saw it and ask questions. He didn't want to say nothing. From there, I decided to get a call to your uncle about the situation. And yes, I know you're gonna say is how did I know about the Chaos Emerald and the human boy a long time ago and I told this to your uncle as well. I knew all along about the whole thing. "You and Tails has been talking about it many times, not letting others know about it. I hid in the shadows many times, hearing you two conversation. You lied to them including Knuckles about the emerald you gave to that boy. I know its been a while and the others should know about it by now. I always wonder why you gave that emerald to him? To let him become a hero?"
"Uh,… okay. But why-" Sonic couldn't finish speaking when Shadow raise his right arm, holding an object. The hedgehog was shock when he saw the All Might Action Figure in Shadow's Hand. The same toy Izuku gave him once they left the planet. The hedgehog grabbed the figure and look at it. "Did you snuck in my room?" He asked.
"I saw that toy many times in the past couple of years. That boy gave you it before you left for Earth. What's so special about that?" Shadow asked.
"All Might is known as the Symbol of Peace. Izuku showed Tails and I a video of him saving lives from an accident. He always have a smile on his face. That's what Izuku want to be like when he grows up." Sonic looked at the toy at the same time. "Look, ever since Tails and I was on Earth, I met Izuku. He was being bulled by that blonde spiked kid along with his two friends. They were gonna use their Quirks on him. So I intervene, protecting him and that's how we became friends. We always hang out many times. He even said one day he wants to be a hero. Sadly, he dream collapse when he didn't had a Quirk. That night him and his mom were in tears after news. Then the next day, we learn Eggman was making his move and we were scheduled to leave the planet. But we gave Izuku the emerald as his chance to become a hero. Now, Eggman is about to launch his invasion on the planet and I don't know what to do." Sonic explained.
"No wonder the island has been quiet. Eggman left the planet and he's taken the emeralds with him. This spells trouble for the planet he's heading." Charles said.
"So what are you gonna do now?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know. I want to ask Tails if he has any ship that can take everyone to Earth. But now, with him and me having a fallout, likely ain't gonna happen." Sonic said with his head down, gripping the toy in his hand tightly.
Hey, Sonic." Both hedgehogs turn around seeing Tails exiting from the jungle. The fox cub was shocked to see Charles. "No way! Uncle Chuck? Is that you?"
"Hello there, Tails. Its been a while." Charles said as Tails hugged the elder hedgehog before the fox cub turn to the dark hedgehog.
"Shadow, what are you doing here?" Tails asked.
"I was asking the same thing to you." the dark hedgehog said.
"Is something going on here?" Tails asked, suspiciously.
"Huh? Na its nothing we're just talking about thing." Sonic said, still looking at the ocean.
Tails saw the All Might toy in Sonic's hand. He know what he was thinking about. "Look, Sonic. About today, I jus-"
Sonic interrupted him. "Tails, don't be sorry. Its my fault. You were right. I should've never gave Izuku the emerald for-"
"Shh. Don't say it!" the fox cub interrupted his apologize, only for them to notice that Shadow was standing next to him.
"Don't worry, Shadow already knows the whole thing." Sonic said.
"What?!" Tails asked, looking back at Shadow with a shock face.
"And Uncle Chuck knows everything thanks to Shadow." Sonic said with Tails looking back and force at the two, comically.
"Shadow told me about you two arguing about the situation. Then he told me about Sonic giving the emerald to this human child. Then I saw how Sonic has a toy of a human man with muscles with a smile on his face. This is an interesting discovery. But to see you two fighting one another won't solve a problem. Right now, Eggman is on his way to the Earth. We have to make preparations for the rest of you. Even though it will be disappointed to leave Mobius, you might not make it home for a while." Charles explained.
"Well… maybe we can still get to Earth." Tails said.
"What you talking about?" Sonic asked, looking back at his buddy.
Tails pulled his Miles Electric device, touching the screen with his fingers. The device shows a large ship of a large hanger. Directly in front is a runway with palm trees lining each side of the runway. Descriptions of abilities were shows next to the ship on screen. Tails show both hedgehog of it. "This is the Blue Typhoon. I've been building it for a while. Haven't been messing with it because of Eggman's attacks on the island. This ship is the one that could take us to Earth."
"Are you serious? Have you been hiding it from us?" Sonic asked.
"Still a work in progress. Gonna be a long time to get it fix as much as possible. Still have to beta test it. Plus, get the launching to see how it flies. See if the cannon can work as well. And the big one I still need to test is the Warp Field Driver. Its gonna be long but I can get it fixed." Tails said with a determine face.
"Its a good thing I've came back to the island. I'll help you with the ship, Tails. I'll have plenty good tools in time for your ship." Charles said.
"Thank Uncle Chuck." Tails said.
"One more thing." Shadow said as everyone turn to the Dark Hedgehog. "I didn't had a chance to reveal something to the two of you. Since you're here, Charles, I think you need to see this as well. I found a blueprint in the basement of the base with both Rouge and Omega. But at the same time, we found a large capsule along with a couple of computers. They were all damage and broken. My guess Eggman didn't want to leave any trace of evidence. But I did found a blueprint of it."
Shadow pulled out the blueprint, unwrapping it showing the image of it. It shows an unknown figure on it with a object on the chest of it. Information and others were also on it for reading. The others saw a glimpse of it.
"Almost looks like the same height as Sonic." Tails said.
"I'm not sure who it is or could be. But what's more interesting is the object on the chest. Can't tell what it is." Shadow said, giving the blueprint to Charles for examination.
"This is more dangerous than I thought. I've seen this jewel before but its been a while. Maybe I'll look to it more when I return to my house. I got of ton of books to look through it. But whatever Eggman is planning, it looks like he created some type of weapon for the attack on Earth." Charles said.
"Then we're wasting time. We gotta get to Earth sooner the better." Sonic said.
"Indeed. Guess we gotta a ton of work to do." Tails said.
"Then let's get prep for whatever awaits us on Earth." Sonic said as Tails and Charles headed for the forest. "Hey, guys. Just want to say thanks."
Both Tails and Charles nod their heads in approval before leaving. Its was just Sonic and Shadow alone on the beach.
"You better start telling the others the truth about the emerald. Especially Knuckles. You know how he is with protecting the emeralds like the Master Emerald. You know they won't like it." Shadow said, walking into the forest.
"Hey, wait. How did you know the whole thing?" Sonic asked.
"I had my reasons. You guys just need to focus on making plans to get to Earth. We got a long journey that awaits." He said, turning around and walking back to the forest.
Sonic then look back at the ocean before looking up at the stars and the full moon in the dark sky.
"Hang tight, Izuku. I'm not gonna let Eggman get to you nor the emerald. I'll be there to Earth as soon as possible." Sonic thought.
Meanwhile, Shadow walk through the jungle. His mind was on Sonic and his friendship with Izuku. "Please, Sonic. Make sure that human boy is safe. Just don't be like me when I lost Maria." he thought.
End of Chapter Six
Author's Note: Finally another chapter is done. I had the whole week to get it done but finally I did it. A little surprise that Sir Charles the Hedgehog aka Uncle Chuck made his appearance on this story. I had that idea when I was watching the 1993 Sonic the Hedgehog TV Show on StarzEncore Family which is airing on Saturday Mornings at 8am ET/ 7am CT. Its part of a likely I call it a Sonic Saturday Morning Hour. They also have the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground. Some glad old Sonic Cartoon shows they have but of course you have to get up in the morning to watch it or you can just DVR so you can watch it later. That was I thought and that was to add in this chapter. So that was a good idea.
Now, we know in the MHA Anime that it would be a long 10 month training towards the Entrance Exam. I read a couple of stories that many cut through the training like to 5 months and I'm thinking about doing it. Because with Izuku has both the Chaos Emerald and One For All aka All Might's Piece of Hair LOL yeah a sense of humor. But, I want to add like a filter chapter in the next chapter where Izuku will learn how to control the Quirk and yes finally we get a chance to see the first girl of MHA in the next one. Hell, two more. Never guess who they are. The wait's finally here so stay tuned for it.
Another part of the story where Eggman will begin recruiting new villains to the Empire for big strength. If you want to know who will join them, buckle up for the first person to arrive on the Death Egg in the Next Chapter next week. Trust me, you'll be shock to see who it is. By the way, the camera drone I might make him a part of the Sonic Team for the adventure. I'll think about it in the next chapter
Also that part of where All Might and Nezu talked during the training. Let's just the final part was a reference to Chapter 131 in the Manga. Yes a SPOILER ALERT for those who's waiting for Season 4 of MHA in the Fall. Even though I don't read the manga, I thought it was a good idea to add it in the scene
Finally, yesterday was just one month ago that I started this story. I can't believe the month of January went by real fast and now we're in February. Seeing all the Favorites and Followers grew big time for the whole month of January. I thought this story was gonna be a failure but it wasn't. I appreciate everyone who's enjoying this story and about it to hit the 6,000 Views mark. The final stats of January was 5,768 Views and 2,510 Visitors. What's in store for February?
