?: (narrated) would realize what the world would be like if both the world's not mad robotic evil scientist Ivo Robotnik and Blue Blur Sonic the Hedgehog for both dead with all the world be like.
?: (narrated) allow me to start from the beginning..
[Flashback]
In the city of Rome, Year 2033..
Lupin the Third, the world's greatest Master Thief, also a pacifist kind of guy, it doesn't really hurt people or denizens.
Lupin the Third realized that it was kind of mood and quiet without Robotnik or known as Eggman..
Lupin the Third in mind: [things have been quiet without Eggman it's not like him to actually be like this..]
Justin group of mobians and humans gathered around TV about the news report.
News Reporter: "Breaking news: Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as Eggman, has been found dead in his laboratory. Authorities are still investigating the cause of death, but it is suspected to be a result of an accidental explosion. The world is now free from his tyranny."
The news of Eggman's death spread like wildfire, and people all over the world breathed a sigh of relief. The Mobians and humans rejoiced, believing that this was the end of their constant struggle against the evil doctor.
However, not everyone was celebrating. Lupin the Third, a master thief known for his agility, wit, and impeccable thieving skills, couldn't help but feel something was off. He had encountered Eggman in the past during his heists, and the absence of the notorious villain felt too sudden and convenient.
Lupin the Third: (thoughtfully) Eggman dead... It's hard to believe it was just an accident. I have a feeling there's more to this than meets the eye.
His curiosity piqued, and Lupin began digging deeper into the circumstances surrounding Eggman's death. As he delved into the investigation, he discovered a hidden message within the late doctor's computer files. The message hinted at a secret project called "Project Eclipse," with cryptic references to a powerful weapon that could change the fate of the world.
Lupin the Third: (determined) Project Eclipse, huh? Sounds like something worth stealing.
Lupin the Third got out his phone and tried to call or text it's not about project eclipse, sometime passes by and he realized that Sonic has even answer or even respond to the calls and messages he sent to the Blue Blur hero.
Lupin the Third in mind: [Okay, first Eggman died, and now Sonic is not even answering my call, isn't it right..]
Lupin the Third decided to go to Sonic's house when the moment he got there to make Lupin confused on why Sonic wasn't even in his own house..
Lupin the Third in mind: [I guess Sonic needs some time alone to mourn the loss of Eggman even though he was his Nemesis and tried to hurt us. but i can't blame him..]
Looked around the place, decided to wait for the Blue Blur to come back to his house the time of waiting for it. The blue Blur turned into days, then turned into months..
Lupin the Third decided text message many of Sonic's friends: Tails, Knuckles, Amy, including some of the members of the Freedom Fighters about Sonic's whereabouts.
Lupin has gotten many response like not even knowing where he is and that he was out somewhere or perhaps going on vacation, Lupin got even more frustrated however even more confused of Sonic went on a vacation without their knowing.
Lupin the Third at the phone number for the chaotics detective agency to call them both Sonic's whereabouts.
Lupin the Third decided to leave the house the moment he got a message from Sonic, which surprised him he said he got a message from the Blue Blur.
Lupin's heart raced with anticipation as he read the message from Sonic. It was brief, but it gave him a glimmer of hope.
Sonic's message: Lupin, I'm sorry for disappearing without a word. There's something big going on, but let's just say I guess we should be tonight if it's without anyone noticing..
Lupin the Third was confused about why he wanted to come alone instead of bringing his friends Freedom Fighters or anyone else. Lupin the Third knows that Sonic had a good reason why to come alone.
Lupin the Third arrived at the designated meeting spot, a secluded rooftop overlooking the city. He looked around nervously, wondering what was so important that Sonic had to meet him in secret.
As Lupin paced back and forth, he couldn't help but notice a figure approaching in the shadows. A familiar silhouette emerged, and Lupin's heart skipped a beat as Sonic stepped into the moonlight, his trademark smirking on his face.
Sonic: Lupin, long time no see. Sorry for the secrecy.. *coughing*..
Sonic almost fell down but, however, was on his knee, coughing aggressively. The cough dropped blood coming from his mouth, Lupin the third saw that Sonic didn't seem to be himself that if he was sick.
Lupin the Third: Sonic, are you alright? What's happening to you?
Sonic: (struggling to catch his breath) It's...it's cancer, Lupin. I've been diagnosed with cancer. It's been spreading rapidly, and...I don't have much time left.
Lupin the Third's heart sank upon hearing the devastating news. Sonic, the heroic figure who had always been full of energy and life, was now facing a deadly illness.
Lupin the Third: Sonic, why didn't you tell anyone? We could've helped you, found a way to save you!
Sonic: (weakly) I didn't want to burden anyone. Besides, there's something else... something big that I need your help with.
Lupin the Third: What is it, Sonic? Whatever it is, I'll do whatever it takes to help you.
Sonic: Project Eclipse...it's not just some weapon... project Eclipse was never anything to begin with..
Lupin the Third: What do you mean, Sonic? Explain.
Sonic: Project Eclipse was just a distraction, meaning if I die and my death girl's house into the public.. I'll be fine sometimes, but in the future, things will be chaotic. A lot of crime and companies, including starvation and the world, will be overpopulated, meaning things we chaotic..
Lupin the Third listened intently, his mind racing to process everything Sonic was saying. This revelation about Project Eclipse only deepened his suspicions about Eggman's death and the true state of the world.
Lupin the Third: So you're saying that Eggman's death and Project Eclipse are all part of a bigger plan to create chaos and control the world?
Sonic: (nodding weakly) well well you see, the first part of the project Eclipse was actually my buddy. Tails was able to create an AI that will be online sooner or later order for everybody...
Lupin the Third's eyes widened in surprise. Tails, Sonic's best friend and a technological genius, had created an AI as part of Project Eclipse? The thief couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Lupin the Third: Tails created an AI? But why? And how does it tie into Project Eclipse?
Sonic: (coughing) Tails believed that an AI with advanced intelligence and problem-solving capabilities could help improve the world, luckily A.I. wasn't activated yet still in development mode for the future when I passed away..
As Lupin processed the information, he realized the gravity of the situation.
Lupin the Third: You said that there was a first part and what the hell is part 2 of project eclipse..?
Sonic: (heavily breathing) Part 2... it's... it's about the blueprints of many different kinds of machines, especially one for customization, a kind of humanoid machine known as an armored core machine that can actually pilot it by mankind or mobians by brain or manual.. the rest of part two of project eclipses unknown..
Lupin the Third's mind raced with the possibilities. The blueprints for these customized humanoid machines could potentially have great power in the wrong hands. He couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility to prevent this chaos from happening.
Lupin the Third: Sonic, we can't let this project come to fruition. We need to find out who is behind it and stop them.
Sonic: (weakly) I know, Lupin. That's why you see there was no one actually behind this project..
Lupin the Third: What do you mean, Sonic? There must be someone orchestrating all of this.
Sonic: (weakly) No, Lupin. The truth is... I am the one behind Project Eclipse. I created it as a means to bring chaos to the world. I wanted to see how people would react, how they would come together or fall apart in the face of adversity.
Lupin the Third was taken aback by Sonic's revelation. He couldn't believe that his friend, the Blue Blur, would be responsible for such a destructive plan.
Lupin the Third: Sonic... why? Why would you do something like this?
Sonic: (coughing) I needed to understand the true potential of people and their capabilities to adapt and overcome. I believed that by creating chaos, I would be able to see their true nature. But now... now I see the error of my ways. I want to stop it before it's too late.
Lupin the Third: (determined) We can find a way to fix this, Sonic. We can undo the damage and bring peace back to the world.
Sonic: (weakly) Lupin, I don't have much time left. My body is failing me. But I trust you to carry on. Find the truth behind Project Eclipse and stop it. Save the world from the chaos I have created... and let's just say sometime sooner or later this secret project was very group Train Elites for they were humans mobians or any of eggman's robots that went rogue..
Lupin the Third felt they had to make the tough decision in his life to give up his master chief life to become a mercenary of this raving group that will actually have some time in the future.
Lupin the Third: (sadly) damn it all you know I would rather smug bastard actually give me this choice to give up my previous life just to have a new life...
Sonic: (weakly smiling) Thank you, Lupin. I know you'll do what needs to be done. Just promise me one thing... don't lose yourself in the process. Remember who you are, and remember the value of life.
Lupin the Third: I promise, Sonic. I won't let your sacrifice be in vain. I'll bring justice to those behind Project Eclipse and restore peace to the world.
Sonic: (whispering) Be careful, Lupin. And remember... you're more than just a thief. You have the heart of a hero.
With those final words, Sonic's body went limp, his eyes closing for the last time. Lupin the Third's heart shattered with grief, Lupin the third realized that he had to tell the world about Sonic's death.
Lupin the Third felt tears coming from his eyes, feeling the amount of sadness and bottling up letting out.
Time passed by, and there was a memorial/a funeral..
Many of Sonic's friends, the chaotics, the Freedom Fighters cream and cheese, including their mother vanilla, especially Team Dark, The E-Series: (E-102, E-103, E-104, E-105, E-117), including many other opiates and humans that were actually from the police department and G.U.N. to be there for the funeral of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Lupin the Third felt nervous but decided to give up speech and not to say anything about project eclipse.
Lupin took a deep breath in and out and decided to take in the words of what he's about to say positive words about Sonic.
Lupin in mind: [you got this you've got this you've got this try not to actually embarrass yourself in front of everyone..]
Lupin the Third looked over the paper of the speech he was at the game and looked at the crowd of people, including the people of his companions, including Zenigata, also among the crowd as well.
Lupin the Third took a few deep breaths and decided to have the confidence to look on his face to give off a speech to people.
Lupin: Sonic the Hedgehog has always been greatest person ever not to mention is always been there saving the world even though I was always been as a partner like not like a sidekick cuz that's kind of disrespectful but while he's kind of always cheerful and funny to always put a smile on people's faces..
Which made many of the people had a smile on their faces.
Lupin: Also, let's just say always kind of funny to make jokes even if in the toughest times but always knows how to make a smile and laughing with his jokes..
Many of the audience laughed, seeing that they always remembered Sonic's jokes that made them laugh and smile.
Lupin: And I want to say these few last words for Sonic Rest in peace roll the kind things he has done..
Many of them, actually humans or mobians, saluted sonic with honor.
A few weeks passed after Sonic's funeral came tonight..
Lupin the Third: (narrating) The year was ED.097, a new era for mankind and mobians. However, the planet was overpopulating with both species..
Lupin the Third: (narrating) There have been a lot of problems going on even without the Blue Blur since he wasn't much of a politic, but a hero.. a lot of crime that has been committed with higher up on the rating.. not to mention starvation as well..
Lupin the Third: (narrating) seen at a military group known as G.U.N. and the police forces had to maintain crimes seen that the rest of the people of the population humans and mobians had to live underground not to mention that business of many companies started stagging up and down very rapidly including Global changes have kept on happening rapidly...
Lupin the Third: (narrating) however after some time he passes by when things have settled in two major power corporations known as Chrome and Mirakkuma corporations that were able to create high-tech machines and weapons known as MTS and Muscle Tracers... some of these empties are actually piloted by humans and mobians while some empties are just drones.. but the Muscle Tracers were pretty good for military combat and construction working...
Lupin the Third: (narrating) however with the construction of these new weapons of the humanoid machines known as muscle tracers however a new humanoid custom made weapon called AC also known as Armored Core meant for special task force group known as Ravens..
Lupin the Third: (narrating) The Raven Nest was not meant for humans and mobians but also for rogue Eggman robots for them to actually have a fresh start at life..
Lupin the Third: (narrating) and this Raven's Nest is going to be my new fresh start from master Thief to a raven mercenary..
Lupin the Third: (narrating), and this is the beginning of my new life as a raven mercenary...
End of prologue..
