Chapter 6 - Sonic Advance 1 & 2
In Sonic's world
Eggman: Oh ho ho! It's been a bit since I have gotten back to Mobius, and with Sonic's friends having no idea that Sonic is indeed alive, they'll be up in their funk. AND since I am doing this on a different planet, they'll be in the dark of my invasion of Mobius
Back on Earth
Tails and Amy have been sad for weeks, most of their days either spending time in the workshop or Amy's quests to go find Sonic. Amy hasn't given up hope yet, she had been using her tarot cards in hopes of finding him. They were sad, but they wanted to be there for the other. Knuckles too suffered from Sonic's death, but he kept it more inside of him, and no one who was in the Ark's observation deck wanted to poke the beast inside Knuckles. Shadow was often in the Ark, but gave visits to the others to help raise their spirits. One day, Shadow was giving Tails a visit, and Amy was there at the Mystic Ruins workshop coincidentally. Tails was tinkering again.
Shadow: *thinking* Good, Tails must be feeling better, what I heard about him from Amy, he tinkers when he's happy.
Amy: *a bit glumly* Hi Shadow.
Shadow: Hey. *he raises his hand* How are you feeling?
Amy: I am feeling better, but there's going to be a part of me that still misses him.
Shadow: That's normal feelings to the loss of a loved one, it's not unusual.
Amy nods then hears that Tails stopped tinkering, hearing clamouring and fast footsteps in the other room.
Tails: I'm getting Eggman detection from Mobius!
Shadow: Mobius?
Tails: Mobius is our home world
Shadow: Wait? Don't you guys live here?
Amy: We originally came here to stop Eggman, but we liked Earth a lot so we decided to settle here.
Shadow: Well, how do we get to Mobius? *he asks directing his attention towards Tails*
Tails: Uuuuh…
Amy: We don't really know how we got here in the first place. Sonic…
Shadow: It's okay, It's okay Amy. Breathe in *Amy breathes in* Now breathe out *AMy breathes out* Better?
Amy: Y- yeah a little.
Shadow: Continue.
Tails: Sonic, Amy, Knuckles and I were infiltrating one of Eggman's bases because he had all seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic had gotten to Eggman while the rest of us were outside. He said he broke the chamber where the Chaos Emeralds were and a huge light happened that enveloped the 4 of us, and we think Rouge was in there too.
Shadow: Sounds like Chaos Control.
Tails and Amy were confused
Tails and Amy: Chaos Control?
Shadow: Oh, right, I never told you about it. Chaos Control can teleport objects, send them through time, and warp time around them, your situation is more specifically teleportation.
Tails: Is that what you and Sonic did to get the Ark back in place.
Shadow nods
Shadow: Tails, do you have a Chaos Emerald?
Tails: No, I don't. I even tried tracking them all around the world, I even tracked Outer Space, I couldn't find a single one.
Amy: Do you think the Chaos Emeralds may be back in Mobius.
Tails: That's the most logical answer, and I think it may be so.
Shadow: So, how are we supposed to get to Mobius?
Tails and Amy: ...The Master Emerald!
Shadow: Knuckles won't like seeing me again, he still thinks it's my fault
Amy: Oh come on! It couldn't be THAT bad… right?
At the Master Emerald on Angel Island.
Shadow, Amy, and Tails walk up to Knuckles.
Knuckles: What are YOU doing here Shadow? *he glares at Shadow with an intense amount bitterness*
Shadow: Calm down, you just need to listen to us.
Tails: Knuckles, we need to get back to Mobius to stop Eggman's plans, and the Chaos Emeralds are back there, so we need you to do Chaos Control to get us there.
Knuckles: I'm down *Tails, Amy and Shadow sigh* But only if Shadow doesn't come with.
Amy: *sigh* I know you don't have the greatest opinion of Shadow but…
Knuckles: He helped Eggman in blowing up the moon, and Prison Island, and framed Sonic as a criminal. So yeah, I don't have a good opinion.
Shadow: I'm standing right here you know
Knuckles: Yeah, well I'm not trying to be nice.
Tails and Amy have a side conversation
Tails: *sigh* I don't like this
Amy: Neither do I, but we need some way to break them up.
Tails: Hmm, ah! I know!
Tails goes to the Master Emerald and tries to call for Tikal
Tails: Tikal.
Tikal gets out of the Emerald in her ball form then takes her usual form.
Tikal: Oh my! What's going on here *she sees the argument a few feet away*
Tails: Long story, but I need you as an example to stop it.
Tikal: Okay. *she says a little confused*
Shadow: Well I made a vow to honor Sonic's name and fill his shoes
Knuckles: Nobody told you to do that.
Tails: Knuckles!
Knuckles: Not now Tails.
Tails: Knuckles. Here is Tikal, she tried her best to save the Chao and the lives the Chaos took thousands of years ago, she unfortunately failed to save the lives of the men who attacked. Do you blame her for their deaths?
Knuckles: Of course not, she tried to save her people and the Chao, it was other's actions that made her not so successful.
Tikal: Really bringing me down here guys.
Tails and Knuckles: Sorry.
Tails walks over to Shadow
Tails: Now, Shadow tried to stop sonic from giving away his life after he said he would.
Tikal: Sonic is… dead?!
Amy: Join the club.
Tails: Do you blame him for Sonic's death
Knuckles: *sigh* I see. It would be hypocritical for me to blame Shadow but not Tikal. *he directs towards Shadow* I am sorry Shadow, I was…
Shadow: No need for apologies, we need to stop Eggman.
Knuckles: Right. You can go back in, Tikal.
Tikal transforms back into her ball form and goes back in. Knuckles walks towards the Master Emerald. He focuses his thoughts to the Master Emerald.
Knuckles: The servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power enriched by the heart, the controller is the one that unifies the chaos. Master Emerald, teleport us and the island back to Mobius!
The Master Emerald begins spinning wildly as a white glowing light forms around the cast and the island as it disappears into nothing. Big *who was on the island fishing, notices this*
Big: Huh?
Back on Mobius
Tails: Shadow, you ready to take on Eggman for the first time?
Shadow: *smiles* You bet.
Sonic Advance 1
From the rumble, movement is seen. Eggman gets out, battered and roughed up from his fight with Super Shadow.
Eggman: *cough cough* Man, and I thought Sonic's super form hard to fight. Anyway, it's now time to activate my backup stations. I may have lost the battle, but not the war! It's revenge time Shadow!
With Shadow and co.
Amy: So Shadow, how did it feel fighting Eggman for the first time?
Shadow: Honestly, it felt great. Now I know why Sonic liked doing this.
Tails: Hey Shadow, I know that you're not all too familiar with Mobius, but Amy and I are wanting to stay around for a bit to visit some friends of ours.
Shadow: Okay with me.
Meanwhile
Eggman: That's right, our construction of a new base will be quickly and efficient. Now… to visualize it.
Eggman starts to visualise his new base until he sees a house in the way
Eggman: Bah! There's a house in the way! *to his robots* Burn it down.
Meanwhile, at the house, Tails and Amy walk in the door to see Vanilla and Cream Rabbit in the living room.
Vanilla: Ah, hello Tails and Amy. I thought you were in that other world.
Amy: Wait? How do you know about Earth?
Cream: I was there. Cheese has some great powers when it comes to travel.
Tails and Amy laugh. Vanilla has the curiosity of asking about Sonic.
Vanilla: If you don't mind me asking, how is your friend Sonic? Last I heard from Cream, he defeated a water monster.
Tails and Amy freeze. They hadn't thought about telling them about Sonic, it's going to break their hearts, but they knew that they had to break the ice.
Amy: Sonic… is… not… with us… any more.
Vanilla gasps while Cream is confused
Cream: Did he run away?
Tails: *gosh Cream is so innocent*
Vanilla: Cream, honey, what... they mean is... that, *sigh* Sonic is... dead.
Cream bursts into tears, with Sonic gone, mobius has lost its greatest hero, who she looked up to. Suddenly, she smells something burning.
Cream: What is that I smell?
Tails and Amy smell smoke.
Amy: Vanilla, are you cooking something right now?
Vanilla: No, why- oh my gosh!
Tails: Don't worry, we'll take care of it!
Amy: Yeah!
Tails and Amy go outside to see robots starting to burn down the house!
Tails: Time to nail some bots!
Tails and Amy go to destroy the bots, but they are somehow grabbed by two hands
Eggman: Oh ho ho! Nice to see you guys here.
Tails: like you de-evolved Eggman, setting fires now?
Eggman: house was in my way, don't worry I don't kill people, those bunnies are going to a nice safe place.
Amy: That's a lie and you know it!
Tails: You won't keep us here Eggman! *Tails breaks out of the Hand, and goes to save Amy.*
Eggman: Oh don't you dare *he pulls out a gun and points it at Amy* One more move to me, and she gets it.
Tails being as smart as he is runs away to go find Shadow.
Meanwhile in the house
Crabmeat: Hands in the air and we won't harm you.
Kiki: Yeah!
Cream and Vanilla whisper a conversation to get out of here.
Vanilla: Get out of here.
Cream: No. Not without you. I can't lose you after Sonic.
Vanilla: Don't worry about me, I'll give 'em hell.
Cream: Alright. I'm getting out of here, Cheese, follow me.
Cream and Cheese start to run out the back door
Spinner: Hey! Get back here!
Eggman walks in
Eggman: Where's the young one?
Vanilla: Far away from you, Robotnik!
Eggman: I go by Eggman now, and she couldn't have gone far. Badniks! Take Amy and the old rabbit to floating base. I'll go get the bunny.
Badniks: Yes sir!
Meanwhile
Tails: Shadow!
Shadow: Tails? What's going on?
Tails: Remember those friends we mentioned? Eggman kidnapped them and Amy!
Shadow: Then let's go get them.
Tails: Actually, I'm going to my house to see if I can find Eggman's base from there, you go on ahead.
Shadow nods as soon as he hears a childish scream
Shadow: That must be Eggman.
Leaf Forest
Cream: Wow! That was awesome! Thanks for saving me. Who are you Mr?
Shadow: I'm Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog. I got to go find Eggman, go home okay.
Cream: Oh! Wait a minute! Mom's still in trouble… I need to go help her.
Shadow: *smirks* Well then, let's go together.
Hot Crater
Shadow: *talks into communicator* Tails, do you have an idea where his base is yet?
Cream: Tails escaped?! Yay!
Shadow softly smiles, this girl is so sweet. (I am not hinting any ship hell no)
Tails: No, I have not. *hears something creeping up on him* Wait, Eggman's here! Wha!
Shadow: Tails! Are you okay?
There's silence on the end for a minute
Eggman: If you want to save your friend, come find me in Music Plant.
Cream: Is Tails okay?
Shadow: I'm sure he's fine.
Music Plant
Cream jumps up at Tails happy to see that he's okay
Cream: I'm so happy you're safe!
Tails: Thanks Cream. Thanks Shadow! Eggman just came out of nowhere.
Shadow: Eggman… has a backup plan. What's he up to this time?
Tails: Eggman still has Amy, we have to save her.
Shadow: We gotta go.
Tails: Shadow! Wait for me!
*Meanwhile at Eggman's new base*
Amy and Vanilla are in a cage, with Eggman nearby
Eggman: You know what's weird? That you have not tried to escape yet.
Amy: Yeah well, One: I would rather know what your plan is, rather than be in the dark. And Two: I don't think Vanilla would like to be alone.
Vanilla: Well that's nice Amy, but you don't have to keep me company.
Amy: But I do need to figure out his plan
Big: Aw man, why am I here, I was with Froggy.
Amy: Huh? Who are you?
Big: I am Big the Cat, me and Froggy were playing together when we were suddenly taken away.
Amy: My name is Amy Rose, Nice to meet you Big.
Ice Paradise
*Meanwhile on Angel Island*
Eggman: Knuckles!
Knuckles: If you're planning to trick me again, it's not gonna happen.
Eggman: Knuckles! You gotta listen to me! Shadow is trying to take all of Sonic's glory. I am just trying to find a way to get him back. I have a strong lead, but he doesn't want him back, he wants to take all of Sonic's glory for himself! I know you and Shadow have a shaky relationship, so I thought you were the one that will be willing to put some sense into him!
Knuckles: I knew Shadow rubbed me a weird way.
Eggman: If I may be so generous, I could lend you one of my machines
Knuckles: Hmm, okay Eggman. You have a deal. Tikal, guard the Emerald.
Knuckles and Eggman leave while Tikal gets out of the Emerald and gives Eggman a distrusting face.
Egg Canyon
Knuckles: You know, the strangest thing just happened…
Shadow: You let Eggman dupe you… Again!
Tails: You really need to stop falling for his tricks.
Knuckles: Leave me alone!
Cream: We gotta keep going! My mom is still captured!
Shadow: See ya Knuckles!
Knuckles: H-hey! Grr… I won't let Eggman get away with this!
Techno Base
Amy: Need a hand?
Shadow: Amy? I thought you were kidnapped.
Amy: Yeah, but I could've busted myself out at any time.
Tails: Why didn't you bust out Vanilla?
Amy: I unfortunately couldn't get her out, but don't worry she has company.
Cut to Vanilla's cell with Big
Vanilla: Do you have any sevens?
Big: Nope, go fish.
Cut back to the group
Cream: Do you think you could help us out?
Amy: Wish I could, but I can't. I found out Eggman's big plan, and any time wasted means closer to doomsday. This is a personal mission for me, and I suggest I go alone.
Shadow: Well then, go and fight the good fight.
Amy: I will.
Egg Utopia
Eggman: *cough* *cough*
Shadow: Give up Eggman, you're beat!
Eggman: Oh contrare Shadow. I got backups, gotta go!
Shadow: Come back here!
XX
Shadow: Vanilla!
Vanilla: Huh?
Shadow: Time to get you out of here!
Vanilla: Who are you?
Shadow: Introductions back on the ground, we gotta go. *sees Big* Who are you?
Big: My name's Big the Cat.
Shadow: Whatever, time to get you guys on the ground. *he holds out a Chaos Emerald* Chaos Control!
Shadow, Big, and Vanilla suddenly appear back in Leaf Forest. Tails and the others show up to see Vanilla and a weird purple cat safe on the ground
Knuckles: Who's the cat?
Big: My name's Big. Wasn't there a pink hedgehog earlier?
Tails: Oh, you know Amy?
Cream: *holds out her hand* You must be the company she was talking about. Thanks for keeping my mommy company. My name's Cream, and this is my Chao, Cheese.
Cheese: Chao Chao.
Big: *takes it* You're welcome, this is my friend Froggy.
Froggy: *ribbit*
Vanilla looks at the scene happily until she notices being pulled away with an invisible force.
Vanilla: Help!
Cream: Mom? Mom!
Shadow: Don't worry Cream, I got this.
Shadow stands still as the seven Chaos Emeralds appear turning Shadow into Super Shadow, and he flies to follow him.
True Area 53
Everyone cheers happily that Eggman is defeated once again.
Cream: I wonder how Amy is doing on her mission.
Meanwhile at an old Eggman base
Metal is digging through some scrap with Amy coming right behind him.
Amy: Hello Metal Sonic.
Metal Sonic: Rosy…
Amy: Oh yeah, last time we saw each other I was going by a different name.
Metal Sonic: And yet, here you are all alone off to face me.
Amy: I know of Eggman's plan with you. Nice redesign by the way.
Metal Sonic: Is that what he's going by nowadays? Heh, like you could defeat me without any help.
Amy: This is payback from what happened on Little Planet *she lunges with her hammer in her hand* Hiya!
Metal and Amy fight for a while before Metal makes an observation
Metal Sonic: Your fighting skills have increased since the last time I saw you.
Amy: Of course.
She wacks Metal with all of her force, making Metal crash into a spike.
Amy: Good riddance.
Amy leaves the base, under the impression Metal is defeated. After she leaves, Metal starts rebooting his systems.
Metal Sonic: Rosy's… no, Amy's threat priority, level 2.
