And we're back again for another round of this fic. What do we have in store for this one? Well, that's simple, we're about to meet the custom character. So… most of you wanted a real OC so I guess I'll do that. Without further ado, let's begin shall we.

Sonic Forces-

Chapter 1

Justice

Destruction.

That was all the city knew at this point.

Robots patrolled the streets, enforcing the law of the Eggman Empire.

Cannonfire constantly rained upon the city in a never ending hellfire.

The city was in so much disarray, that it was a shell of its former self.

But if that wasn't bad enough?

Then the entire army of Death Egg Robots destroying everything in their path?

Ever since Sonic the Hedgehog had been defeated and the Eggman Empire had risen, the world had not been a safe place; especially in Sunset Heights.

At least, that's what thirteen year old Celeste the Dog thought.

The young dog had stuck to an abandoned building in the middle of town as she watched her hometown fall to the might of the empire. Only time she left was to get food and water, but otherwise, the young dog kept to her own personal bunker.

But now, she cowered under the table as the sirens blared all over the city. That meant that the Resistance was here.

She always appreciated the work the resistance did. They saved a lot of people around the world and even her own a few times. Heck, that's how she got a wispon in the first place. But despite it all, she found it all pointless. Eggman had taken over so much and with that thing on his side, there was no way they could possibly defeat him. Especially when Sonic had lost to it.

She preferred to hide.

Even with the protection of her battered Wispon, she didn't dare try anything. She had even been too scared to test the thing out; especially with the dents all over its near spherical frame. And honestly, on what? What could she have used it on? Go outside and trash some of Eggman's robots and get a one-way ticket to who knows whatever prison Eggman had or worse? No.

She would stay here, huddled under a table, desperately clutching their Wispon as everything went on outside.

She jumped at the sound of projectiles slamming against the side of the building. Rubble fell but the building stayed strong. She trembled, whimpering underneath the table. Whenever the cannons were so close, it always terrified her. She needed to calm down, slow her breathing and just stop whimpering like a baby.

She stopped, she breathed, she was finally able to stay calm. She was safe. Nothing would happen to her.

With a ragged breath, they got she got up from under the table. It was going to be okay. Everything was fine.

And that's when the door burst open.

A single Egg Pong stood in front of him with its cream spherical body and arm blaster trained on her.

It stood there for a few seconds before it looked down at the weapon underneath the bed.

The enemy was here.

"Wispon: Located. Subject: Unknown. Conclusion: Member of the resistance."

Her eyes widened at that. "What?! No!"

"Turn yourself in or be eliminated!"

"No, please! I'm not part of the resistance! I'm just trying to protect myself!"

"Elimination selected."

The robot raised his arm blaster towards him and fired, letting out a flurry of lasers towards them.

The dog yelped at that and dove out of the way of the first few shots. But the robot followed, and they scampered away. But not without getting her tail singed.

She begged for the robot to stop, but it wouldn't.

She ran around the room, scared as blasts ripped holes in the walls.

And then, among all the running and screaming and laser blasts, she spotted the Wispon. There it was sitting under the table where she'd left it. But what was she supposed to do with it? Strike it down?

But the thing was shooting up her home and it didn't look like it was going to stop.

A laser grazed her ear, lightly singing blue fur. And that's when she knew she didn't have a choice.

She ran for the weapon, still barely dodging the shots before going into a roll and scooping up the weapon. She landed in a crouch and pulled the trigger.

She didn't expect the burst of flame to come so quickly or to punch so hard that it shattered the robot on impact and tore a hole through the wall. But it did.

Celeste let out a sigh of relief and fell to her knees.

But that wasn't the end of her troubles.

The hole in the wall caught the attention of more of the army. Buzz Bombers flew in and the robots below quickly ran into the building entrance. They wouldn't be long.

But right now, she had the immediate problem of the Buzzer Bombers that were in front of her now, preparing to fire.

Here come the enemy! Strike them down!

She didn't hesitate this time, the need for survival overriding her own fear as she fired a burst of flame at them. They exploded before her and with that, she quickly ran out of the room and up the stairs to avoid the robots below.

She arrived on the roof where she was bathed in the ever present twilight of Sunset Heights. Normally this would be calming for Celeste. But now, she was exposed to the warzone that was the city. Of course, she didn't have much time to look around.

The robots made it to the roof and the scared little dog didn't have much of a choice. She could either face the whole pack of robots or she could run.

She didn't like his odds with the robots so she looked for any escapes. Unfortunately, the only way down was the way she came.

Although, scanning around she did see the next roof over was a bit lower than this one. If she ran fast enough...

But that was crazy! There was no way she could do something like that.

Turning back, she saw the robots charging their blasts again and didn't want to stick around for that. Roof it was.

And that's how flawed logic and the need to survive sent her tumbling off of a roof.

Luckily, she made a safe landing. But she still couldn't help but think how stupid she was to have tried something like that.

The robots above looked back at her, they looked between one another before following her off the roof.

Of course, unlike her, they didn't have the speed to make the jump and fell to the ground where they came broke into millions of pieces.

Celeste found it kinda funny. She wanted to laugh but was quickly cut off by the Buzz Bombers flying in.

They shot blasts at her and she was off again, now hopping rooftop to rooftop as she tried to avoid the laserfire from the flying robots.

But they just kept coming and coming and soon, she'd run out of roof.

So that's when she spun around, gripping the wispon and allowing the flames to come forth and dismantle the robots.

We can't let evil win take 'em out! This is justice! This is what's right!

She needed to get to the ground now, and thankfully he spotted another stairwell leading into a new building and into the building. She was out on the streets again, and now was making his way down a familiar street. Park Avenue.

Here come the enemy mess 'em up!

More of the robots appeared down the street, charging their laser blasts. This time, Celeste was ready, firing on all of them with the Wispon before rushing through the destruction.

She continued to run, honestly having no idea what she was doing at this point as the robots seemed to fixate on her.

And bring 'em to their knees do your stuff! Time for justice time to go fight!

Celeste continued to run, taking out more of Eggman's forces as she went on down Park Avenue leaving a messy trail of scrap in her wake.

She knew she needed a plan. But so far all she had was run and shoot.

Robots came and met the flames as she continued down Park Avenue.

But soon, she began to tire. She needed to get somewhere safe now.

She arrived in an open area. It was circular in shape and had a loop out in the distance. There were a few buildings there. She thought that one of them would be a good place to hide out.

But that's when she heard the marching and looked to see more of the robots.

She now stood surrounded by the robots which all stood a circle around her. She gulped. This was pretty bad. Tired and surrounded. How was she ever going to get out of this.

She looked on as they prepared to fire and clutched her wispon. There was no other way to do it. She had to fight.

Destiny lies before you…

She fired on several of the robots, destroying a few only for them to fire. One clipped her tail, which stung but he continued on.

I believe you have the power!

She continued to fire, jumping over a few blasts from more of the Egg Pongs and getting a couple Buzz Bombers.

Can you see your horizon?

Celeste only had a few left. But they still returned fire. She fired back, just barely avoiding them.

Victory's for the taking!

The last of the robots was destroyed and with that they fell to their knees. It was done. It was finished.

She was exhausted and needed to find somewhere safe quick before she passed out. She staggered to her feet and looked at the buildings around her. Surely one of them would-

And that's when Celeste heard something else approaching. What more could they possibly want? She wondered as he shakily held his Wispon in front of her.

But what she was greeted with was not quite what he expected.

It was a red wolf wearing glasses a green belt, boots and an earpiece of the same color.

"What in the world?" The wolf said taking in the sight of all the scrap scattered around the area.

Celeste was about to speak, but his breath fell short. The wolf was able to hear the gasp and looked at them.

"Chaos! Kid, did you do this?"

Celeste weakly nodded.

"Alright. We need to get you out of here. If you really did do this then Eggman's robots aren't gonna stop looking for you. Once they get a read on a threat, they won't stop until they well.. Y'know."

They nodded but couldn't help but find it ironic. The robots were the ones who threatened her in the first place. But she supposed that was the way things go.

He pulled out a communicator and pressed a button on the side. "Fierro. Can you get to sector 7G of the city. I've got a kid here that took out a whole pack of Eggman Robots. They can't stay here."

"Yeah, okay. Understood. Gadget out."

The wolf, Gadget, then looked at the dog that was slipping out of consciousness. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine, you're with the resistance now."

And… end chapter. So we met Celeste, Gadget and had the level Sunset Heights. I have plans for Gadget that you'll find out more about in the next chapter. Of course, if you know me personally then you might already know. But we'll see about that later, now won't we?

Now what will happen now that she's with the resistance? Sonic is dead? What happens now? Find out in the next chapter entitled Fighting Onward.

R&R!
