Location: Angel Island
Time: 07:23 AM
It was a lovely day in Angel Island. The sky was clear, the wind was calm, and all was well. The green grass was flowing through SNT's quills as she was taking it easy after the last big adventure she went on. The fight with Infinite and Doctor Eggman seemed to drag on forever. But, at least she got to have the picnic with her friends and that date with Amy. SNT felt someone nudging her shoulder. She turned to see Amy pointing to the sky at something. SNT looked up to see a cloud shaped like a Chaos Emerald. Neat, thought SNT. But, Amy was apparently more focused on something else at the moment.
Uh, S, what is that?
Huh? What do you mean?
Amy was annoyed at SNT's blatant ignorace. Amy pressed her hand onto SNT's head and turned it to an object flying across the sky. It looked to be black and flying at breakneck speed. SNT squinted at it to see what exactly it was. The object appeared to be growing bigger, and was headed straight toward them. Amy then gasped and started running toward Sonic and Co., yelling for everyone to take cover. SNT panicked and started to run a bit behind Amy, then suddenly tripped. SNT instinctively curled up and waited for death to overtake her...
Something large crashed into the ground directly next to SNT. The impact of it caused the entire area where SNT was curled up to violently shake. SNT slowly opened her eyes to see the mountains and greenery around her. She was alive. She looked around and spotted a crater with dirt and grass torn up. It looked like someone had taken a shovel and dug through, only multiplied by a hundred. There was something inside the center of the crater. It looked like an alien, with pointed quills, large hands, and lanky legs. SNT realized there was someone inside! There was a loud, painful groan before the person tried to stand up. SNT instantly recognized them.
SHADOW?!
SNT immediately slid down into the crater to try and see why Shadow suddenly crashed down from the sky. She got to the bottom and saw Shadow covered with cuts, bruises, and dirt. Shadow coughed, causing drops of blood to shoot out of his mouth. SNT held Shadow up for support. As the two ascended up and out of the crater, Sonic and Co. rushed over to see the brutally injured Shadow being carried by SNT. Everyone stares in shock, until Sonic speeds over to the two of them.
Shadow, are you alright?
Shadow, even through his injuries, smirked with pride.
Heh. That was nothing. That thing didn't even know what hit 'em. 'Most powerful being', my a-
Before Shadow could finish his comment, he coughed up more blood. SNT's eyes widened as both Tails and Sonic rushed to take him off SNT's shoulders. Tails and Sonic hoisted Shadow upright, and helped carry him inside. Amy stood by, watching as SNT had a shocked look on her face. Amy walked over to SNT and tried to talk with her.
Hey, S, you okay?
SNT looked to the side and sighed. Amy reassuringly put her hand on SNT's shoulder.
Shadow's gonna be okay; I know it. He's survived much worse than just crashing down in a crater. And besides, Tails and Cream should have Shadow patched up in no-
A large explosion caused SNT and Amy to jump. They turned to where the direction of the blast may have come from and spotted a large hole blown into the side of one of the mountains. They also noticed a speeding blur zooming across the landscape. It looked to be carrying something, but it was too far away to make out. SNT ran in the direction of the blur, with Amy stopping SNT.
Look, S, it's too dangerous to follow whatever that thing is.
I can handle it myself. I've taken on that Infinite guy before, and you've seen what I'm capable of.
Yes, we know you saved a city from being destroyed by that weirdo, but you almost got yourself killed! Sonic and I will handle this, you just-
A female shriek sent SNT speeding away, leaving Amy to stand near the cabin bewildered. SNT was running through the forests, wind blowing through her quills, as she was following the screams echoing throughout. She stopped near a bush and hid inside it. She watched as a silver hedgehog was holding what looked to be Amy hostage in the air. That was impossible, thought SNT. SNT looked closer. It looked to be exactly like Amy, but with a few bizarre details. This Amy had a yellow tail with a white tip, a white headband, a red dress with a blue stripe down the middle, and shoes with the same dress pattern. The hedgehog holding her hostage was sliver in color with black zigzags on its quills. Its eyes were black with red, glowing pupils and his gloves were black with clawed fingertips. In the middle of its chest, a pulsating Phantom Ruby was attached with a dark, veiny substance. In its other hand, it was holding a Chaos Emerald. The Emerald was cracked, with a shard missing from it. Its eyes were angry and filled with malice; its smile was wide and maniacal. The Amy impostor that was being held captive by the hostile pincushion was pleading to be let go with her dear life. This caused the menacing fiend to snap at them.
WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP ALREADY?!
The Ruby glowed much brighter in tandem with his rage, causing some of the ground and the bush SNT was hiding behind to glitch. The creature then noticed SNT crouched onto the ground and grinned. SNT suddenly realized that she was out in the open and stood in a fighting stance, ready to somehow beat this monster into submission. The hedgehog laughed and threw the Amy imposter down to the ground, causing her to yell in pain. SNT tried to run to the Amy lookalike, but was momentarily stopped by the Ruby's powers. SNT was unable to move, and was desperately flailing to break free. SNT was slowly pulled toward the hostile menace. When SNT and the villanous monster met face to face, he finally introduced himself.
Hello, S.N.T. You may not know who I am, but I certainly know you. My name is Narvitz, but most people call me "The Virus."
Narvitz takes a bow with the Chaos Emerald in his hand. He then stares at the Emerald, then mockingly gestures it toward the unmoving SNT.
You know what this is?
SNT pretends to not know and shakes her head.
No? Anyone with a brain cell would figure out that this is a Chaos Emerald. It is one of the most powerful artifacts known to Mobius. Powerful enough for me to use and destroy this filthy planet and everyone on it. Oh, might've spoiled my plans. No matter, once I erase you from existance and find that shard from that...Rosechu creature, I will be victorious.
Narvitz then raised his hand in front of SNT, which suddenly created a small red orb of powerful energy. The glow was almost blinding to look at, demonstrated by SNT turning her head away from it.
Goodbye, SNT. Forever.
Narvitz laughed maniacally as he was about to shoot the Energy Ball at SNT. SNT hoped for a miracle, anything that would get her out of this situation. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a blue streak wizzing past Narvitz. The phenomena was not a result of SNT's insanity, as Narvitz turned to look at whatever just speeded by. Narvitz and SNT turned to see the blue streak and the Amy imposter gone. SNT then heard a yell and turned to see a pink streak spiraling around on of the trees. Narvitz turned and was immediately struck in the face with Amy's Piko Piko Hammer. The hard blow from the weapon sent Narvitz crashing through the nearby trees and SNT out of the Phantom Ruby's power. SNT was caught by Sonic, who appeared to be slightly out of breath.
Heh. Guess you've fallen for me.
There was an awkward pause for a few seconds. The only sound that persisted was the harsh wind that blew through the forest. Nobody was impressed.
Sonic.
Amy was pissed at Sonic's pathetic attempt at a pun. Sonic awkwardly laughed, while still holding the angry SNT.
Guess this isn't the right time, huh? Well, no time to waste; let's go!
With that, Sonic and SNT ran back to the cabin, hoping Narvitz wouldn't be on their tail. Amy picked up Rosechu and was barely able to lift her up. Rosechu looked to where Narvitz had crashed, and saw the cracked trees falling apart. Inside the wreckage of wood and leaves, there were a pair of red, glowing dots. Amy then carried Rosechu in an attempt to catch up with Sonic. Eventually, all of them reached the cabin. They knocked on the door, with Tails answering the door. Tails let them in, and immediately shut the door. Tails drew the blinds as Sonic and Amy put their rescued friends on the couch. SNT and Rosechu sat in silence as everyone was trying to hide the house from Doctor Eggman possibly finding it. At least, that's what SNT believed. Rosechu had no idea what was happening and stared to quietly panic. Thoughts of nuclear attack, being completely wiped out by some unseen force filled Rosechu's mind. Her heart was racing, thinking of all the possible ways this could go wrong.
Hey, Tails, when you're done planning for the next Black Doom invasion, could you show our guest around a bit?
Sure thing, Sonic!
Tails walked up to Rosechu and outstretched his hand toward her.
Hi! My name's Miles, but my friends call me Tails. What's your name?
Uh, well, just call me Rosechu. That's usually what everyone calls me, anyways.
Well, welcome to the team, Rosechu!
Rosechu and Tails shook hands. Rosechu seemed a little less stressed meeting this Tails person. He doesn't seem like much of a threat, unlike Dr. Robotnik. Tails then began giving the grand tour of the cabin, showing all of the rooms that were available...
There was a sudden explosion coming from nearby, which decimated the treeline and caused some of them to burst into flames. A dark figure walked out of the aftermath with a wicked smile and red, shining pupils. Narvitz stepped out and brushed some of the ash that had covered his body. There was a sudden ringing coming from Narvitz's glove. He pulled it up to his chest and spotted Doctor Robotnik calling through Narvitz's communicator. Narvitz sighed. What did the doc want now? He pressed the button to answer. A red hologram of Robotnik was projected onto the ground in front of Narvitz. Robotnik seemed impatient, even more than usual. Narvitz addressed the mustache-twirling scientist with his usual commanding tone.
What's up, doc?
What is "up" is you not contacting me about whether or not you found the anomaly.
Just then, another hologram shot out of Narvitz's communicator. The hologram was of an identical Robotnik to the one Narvitz was currently speaking to. This Robotnik was inside what appeared to be his iconic Egg Mobile. The hologram was more detailed this time, showing Mary Lee Walsh working on an unseen project.
Ah, Doctor Eggman, so glad you could join us.
Delighted to be here, er...
Narvitz.
Right. Narvitz. OOOHHH-And who is this immaculate beauty?
Robotnik blushed and playfully waved his hand.
Aw shucks, you don't mean that~!
Narvitz cleared his throat.
While I appreciate the sentiment, you two, let's discuss more important matters.
Right. Yes, have you located the Emerald shard from your dimension, Narvitz?
Negative, doc. I tried my best to get any information out of that "Rosechu" thing, but I came up empty-handed. And I appear to have my Emerald taken by that blasted SNT.
WHAT?!
Both Robotniks were furious at the prospect. After all, losing something as valuable as a Chaos Emerald was something the Eggmen did not stand for in the slightest.
But, on the bright side, there is confirmation that SNT does indeed exist in this dimension and "Rosechu" was rescued by them.
The Sonichu dimension Robotnik did not understand why that would ever be good news, while the SNT dimension Robotnik was very overjoyed.
How would that be in any shape or form be relevant? Rosechu ran off with SNT in the alternate dimension, and we don't even know where they're located.
Or do we...?
Narvitz then flipped his glove, and used the Ruby's power to reactivate SNT's tracking device. The SNT Robotnik turned to his right, then back at Narvitz, smiling.
With the device now active, we can now track that abomination's every move. All her plans, her friends; she won't know what hit her. Soon, we'll rule these dimensions with an iron fist and claim the new Eggman Empire.
All of them evilly laugh, which causes the attention of a mysterious overseer. The watcher runs off soon after with lightning-fast speed toward somewhere far away.
