Dimension – 23691 – Where are you?
The Multiverse. The multidimensional, multi-world infinite entity, that revolved around a singular world at it's heart. Mobius, and its unwavering Hero. Sonic the Hedgehog. A world broken up into thousands, if not millions, of versions, and it's precious saviour, was on every single one of them.
But the Multiverse never used to be this way. It started as a universe, with one singular timeline, perfectly stable. But something happened, which no one knows what, between Sonic, Tails and Eggman. It caused the Multiverse to split, leaving a version of each of them on every single dimension. Three points of the same triangle. The Hero, The Villain, and The Sidekick, but never always the same people playing the same roles, or the same people around them. But deep in the middle of the, now expanding Multiverse, was that original timeline, still existing, with the Blue Blur, along with his best friend, and nemesis.
But for Sonic, every 'Sonic', on each world, the story was always the same. He was born one of identical twins, but his brother never makes it, beyond toddlerhood, leaving the Blue Blur to grow up alone, until he finds Tails.
But why?
The Blue Blur, of that original main timeline, just couldn't work it out. He had, many times, travelled through inter-dimensional portals, to multiple worlds, constantly finding different versions of himself. However, they often came to him, through randomly appearing natural occurring, deep purple, inter-dimensional portals. Most dimensions learn about the Multiverse by the fact that inter-dimensional portals open at random, because of the it's temporary instability from it's constant shifting. In the main timeline, all of those random inter-dimensional portal land there, bringing all the 'Sonic' counterparts with them, causing constant problems until they were sent back. Tails seeing this, invented technology that could dial out to anywhere in the Multiverse, from his very own handheld handheld. It was significantly easier to dial out from the main timeline to a branch, then vice versa.
But when Sonic asked about family, to his other counterparts, he got the exact same story as his own. That he was a Butterfly Baby, whose twin had died as Sukko only lasted two years. That was what it was commonly known as, yet still Sonic just wasn't convinced. Was his brother really conceived and then have a normal twin pregnancy, with him, only to be destined to die. Every time. Sonic growled. No, he didn't believe so. He'd seen his mother's Doctors notes from his own birth. Everything was normal. His parents didn't originally know that they were expecting twins. Only one twin showed on the scan. His brother. But during the birth, the baby Blue Hedgehog was born normally, but his umbilical cord split halfway along it's length, and two cords went back inside her. Panicked, the Doctors realised there was a second baby, identical twins, that no one knew was even there, and race was one to save the second child. Three minutes later, a second baby Blue Hedgehog was born, but was absolutely tiny. A quarter the size of his brother, he weighed less then four hundred and thirty grams, and the Doctors feared for his survival.
But against all the odds, he made it. The first baby was named Sukko, meaning Saviour, and the second, Sonikku, meaning Miracle. Sonikku (or Sonic for short) broke the world record for the smallest Hedgehog to ever be born and survive. But despite Sonic's amazing survival, within two years of their birth, Sukko, his beloved twin, was dead.
What? It was utterly devastating.
There was no reason for him to die. Sukko was a healthy, strong, normal baby and toddler. It made no sense for him to just suddenly perish, fast asleep in his cot. Then, to everyone's utter astonishment, Sukko's body just disintegrated into dust, to float away to the ether, from his griefing mother's arms, as if he never existed.
But no one ever believed that story. Sukko had no funeral, or even a gravestone, and yet, Sonic stood there with both his brother's birth and death certificates in his hand. He had existed, if only for a short time. Two years. Sonic heaved. There was definitely something else going on.
Supernatural?
The timing of his death was incredibly specific, heavily hinting at something else. Why else would Sukko's body just explode like that? Sonic growled. He'd spent some time travelling the Multiverse, every single Blue Hedgehog he'd ever met, had been a version of himself. Suddenly, Sonic got excited. What if, there was a Blue Hedgehog out there, 'not' him. A world where his beloved identical twin actually survived.
Immediately, Sonic stopped, gulping hard. He'd never told a soul that he was a Butterfly Baby, not even Tails. This was going to get very personal, very quickly, but if anyone was going to find his twin, out there, in the Multiverse, the Fox could.
Tails was gobsmacked when he heard, but also, equally intrigued by the story. He didn't believe either that Sukko was gone, and agreed to search.
It took months, but finally the Fox came through.
He found him. Sukko's D.N.A. signature was definitely on the ether, incredibly strong too, but it seemed to lead to a far off distant world, a version of Mobius on the edge of the Multiverse. A world where he survived. Sonic rounded on Tails.
Any more?
The Fox shook his head. He'd found his brother in that just one dimension.
But only one.
The mighty Sorcerer was alive.
Dimension – 61021 – I'm still here.
Sukko The Hedgehog. A true born Sorcerer of Magic, Chaos Sorcery. He frowned. Why did he survive infancy and toddlerhood, in this one far flung dimension of Mobius, whereas all other versions of him had their bodies and essences disintegrate to dust. To then travel across the ether, to find him, and merge with him. The answer was simple. The Multiverse could only handle one, and only one, mighty Sorcerer, at any point in time. The amount of power Sukko could Magically wield was so great, that more versions of him, would ultimately destroy everything. But why was his 'version' of the Sukko The Hedgehog chosen to survive and become the mighty Sorcerer?
Because someone very dear to him, chose for him. In his dimension alone, a certain Ultimate Lifeform intervened by travelling back on time. He interfered with the point in Sukko's life, when he should have perished and disintegrated, but move saved him. Shadow took him from his parents and left him with the Echidnas. During his short time the young Sorcerer was with them, he learned a huge amount, telepathically simulating their entire culture, wisdom and knowledge. They inadvertently gave him, the means to survive. The resilience and resourcefulness he needed to save himself and his family. Outside of the Time Stone, time travel isn't normally possible, as the rules of the Multiverse won't allow it. The Multiverse only allowed inter-dimensional travel. The Time Stone however, could circumvent those rules, using Chaos Energy, and allow time travel to happen. But due to the Sorcerer's far distant location of his home planet, his dimension, technological time travel was just about possible, without interference and Shadow succeeded in going into the past, and changing everything, ultimately leading to the Sorcerer's survival.
Over the course of his life, Sukko manipulated his home dimension, and hard, finally creating a safe haven for his people, with his brother and his new family safe in the Sol Empire. Up to this point, everything that had happened to Sukko, had happened his own dimension, or the Sol Empire, as he yet to visit another version or dimension of Mobius.
It was on his home planet, he first visited the Restoration, learned to fly, blossomed his friendship with Frank, and had his Ascension, with the Wisps, which turned him into the immortal God of the Cosmos. Then came his love for Shadow, and his accidentally release of the Black Arm monster from within his beloved, Black Doom, and risking both his and his twins brother's lives, to bring his precious Ultimate Lifeform back. Sukko succeeded, but the Ultimate Lifeform wasn't quite the same. Now a cloned Super Soldier of his former self, he should have been inferior, but he was now anything but. He now had true freedom, was allowed to marry, have citizenship, and his D.N.A. had changed, but only by the tiniest amount. Just enough for him to father children, whereas his former self never could have done, no matter what. But with the hard reset, he forgot about Sukko, but the changes Sukko had done within Shadow, permanently stayed with him, even if he didn't remember. That was why he fell in love with the Sorcerer all over again, when he moved to Robotropolis.
There, Sukko had to decide how to deal with that love and the dangers that came with it. But the constant resetting of the world was a pain, as Shadow kept forgetting about him, and his love for him, but somehow, he always came back to him, the both of them destined to be together. Determined to get his dimension permanently rid of all Robotnik's, from his home world, it was a huge challenge. But even though Sonikku was the one destined to end the Human, his father's, Julian's legacy, Lazarus, still had to be dealt with. The fight against Doomsday's pushed Sukko to his limit, but the Sorcerer realised, he was still young, especially in experience, and was capable of so much more.
They won against Julian, but Eggman survived the ordeal. That was the turning pointing for the Sorcerer, when he realised that no matter what happened to the Human, the timeline would just hard reset, returning Sonikku back to the head of the Resistance, and the tyrant to his territory as though nothing had even happened. All the Blue Blur had to do was stay on course with destiny and destroy Eggman exactly where and when he was supposed to. He had to ensure that Sonikku's destiny to destroy Eggman was fulfilled, at whatever the cost. Sukko, however, had to make sure that his brother didn't kill Eggman (which he wouldn't, certainly not by choice) but not even accidentally either, before the time was right. The future of his version of 'Mobius' depended on it. But it meant that Sukko could take advantage of the hard reset mechanism that was in place to ensure that fulfilment. However, to trigger it, all that had to be done was for anyone, other then Sonikku, had to kill Eggman. That was it. The world would revert back to the original feud between the Human and the Blue Blur, all memories swiped. Leaving only one person who would remember the real full truth. Every time.
Sukko.
But it was heartbreaking for him, because with each hard reset, Shadow would forget him. Sukko had the incredible power to push back fate and delay a hard reset but not stop it completely. The Sorcerer was desperate for a relationship with his beloved Shadow, but fate was intervening and badly. Eggman starving to death, caused a reset that Sukko just didn't see coming, and pushed the Sorcerer to speed up his relationship with the Ultimate Lifeform. But because no one had actually killed the Human, it turned into a soft-reset that Sukko was able to control, and he managed to have his beloved keep his memories, this time. This lead Shadow to share his immortality with the twins, using lasers, aboard the Ark, resulting in them all now carrying his call-sign, in blood, bright red, on each of their shoulders. It was believed that Sonikku originally caused the twins to collapse due to a burnout, but the reality was that it was Sukko. He pushed himself to the limit controlling the soft-reset. The strain of the intense Magic, caused the Psychic Link to give way, causing to Blue Blur to fall unconscious, taking the mighty Sorcerer down with him.
Regardless, Sukko succeeded, and Shadow, in successfully bringing both the twins back, saved them and his memories from all hard resets. Now all three were properly immortal, and would remain so. No one else still was none the wiser, those Sukko's 'Sonic', his twin, was suspecting something, like always, especially with the new tattoo, but never said anything.
But Sukko was desperate for more children. A further set of twins with Martha's frozen eggs via surrogacy, in Jade and Crystal, and another set of twins with Shadow himself, from his own dimension, and they had Violet and Raven. They worked together to create the pregnancy. A mixture of genetic engineering and extremely powerful Magic, and finally they were successful. But fate, yet again caught up with Sukko, three months pregnant, it came with yet another final fight with Eggman. Was this the final ending of Eggman? His fate? Sukko groaned. Not exactly perfect timing, the pregnancy causing raging hormones, and hugely wild emotions. He could easily cope, he was powerful enough.
But sadly not, as Shadow unknowingly intervened, by accidentally taking Eggman's life. As Sukko gave his addition of the lightning bolt to the Egg Emperor, giving him and Sonikku an advantage, Sukko was inadvertently was sent to entirely different dimension. The Sol Empire.
He was still pregnant with twins, when he first landed in there. As a Master of Illusion, Sukko was able to completely hide that, and Shadow's tattoo. They never knew. That was when he learned to fine tune his Magic, fighting the Order of Eldin and the Dark Fire Golem. He was constantly travelling back and forth between his home dimension and the Sol Empire. Even time he had down time in the Sol Empire, like after a great battle, and the Sorcerer seemed to vanished, he was actually off planet, back home. As the Mobian Authorities went after the Chaos Creatures, in his home dimension, it lead to getting everyone out of Westnorth Maximum Security Prison just outside Empire City, and then changing the planet itself by permanently removing Chaos Sorcery from it.
But everyone survived. Sukko just especially when he nearly physically perished, despite being immortal. His orbing ability had combined with his Magic and he exploded into half a dozen very large pale blue balls of disembodied light, about eight inches across. He was ascending again. Dying, possibly, but truthfully, he had no idea. But Sonikku saved him, and brought him home. It was incredible, especially after the multiply hard resets Sukko had to do, to get his brother out. Finally, Sukko won, doing the last hard reset, as Sonikku fulfilled his destiny and destroyed Eggman.
During the months afterwards, he returned home to give birth to the twins, via caesarean section, all safe and well. After his recovery, Sukko continued to travel back and forth between his home dimension, and the Sol Empire, fooling everyone around, as to his true location, at any point. Shadow returned home to be with the children, leaving his Space Colony Ark, in the Sol Empire. Shadow kept his word, not saying anything to anyone of the fact, that one, he was in a relationship with the mighty Sorcerer, or two, that they were married and had children. In his version of Mobius, Sukko's home planet, where he was Hero worshiped and where Chaos Sorcery never existed, they were safe.
But Shadow was extremely disheartened. Going home, from the Sol Empire, was the best thing to do, despite not wanting to. With Sukko's four children and two of his own, he had to go to them. But he knew that Sukko was leaving, destined for greater things. Very reluctantly, he let him go, believing it was for the best. Sonikku agreed. As Stripes stayed behind, as the months went by, the children grew. So did he, and fast. The change in his lateral body and D.N.A., had left him with unused grown hormone, and it just exploded. It completely ripped through his genetic engineering, the chemical locks on his brain, his emotional restrains, and the pre-programming. It was still present, but dormant, in his Super Soldier body, left over from the cloning process. But during the second Black Arm's incident, Sukko had used Magic to render it useless, therefore uneffecting Shadow, even though the Ultimate Lifeform could feel it there.
Now, it was all completely gone. He now had true free-will. The only version of the Ultimate Lifeform, in the whole Multiverse, who did. But Shadow, or Stripes, (now going by the name Sukko always gave him) was no longer in the body, he was originally created in, but an altered, potentially more powerful, Super Soldier clone, and it had changed everything, and him in the process. Was he still Shadow The Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform? Truthfully, Stripes had no idea, hence the name change, as he relearned what had happened to him, and why he still felt somewhat strange, even after all these years. But he embraced the change as the growth hormone also caused him to grow from being permanently stuck as grumpy teenager, a trait he'd carried over, into an adult. He smirked. Now he was satisfied. He'd never grow or age again, but now, he was fully grown, equivalent to the age of twenty-five, and heavily brimmed with muscle.
To his utter surprise, hidden behind the chemical locks on his brain was Telekinesis, in the form of bright red auras. He had strange markings on his hands, exactly like Silver's but black. Gerald not wanting him to be too powerful, so he'd locked the power away. But as Stripes began moving objects around purely with his mind, it took a lot of work to learn and master. His step-daughter Sapphire, Sukko's eldest girl, helped him hugely, as she also had the power. Some of Sukko's children did have Magic, but one, it wasn't as powerful as the mighty Sorcerer himself, and two, on a planet when it was never meant to exist, the Magic was relatively easy to hide. Stripes showing them the way.
Sukko had been gone almost a year and Stripes desperately missed him. Immortal himself, he knew Sukko, wherever he was, was going to need support. He was nowhere near as powerful as the Sorcerer, but Stripes didn't care. He was done with his 'version' of Mobius, and being 'hero worshiped', time to move on. The children were safe there, but, something was brewing. Stripes could feel it, and he was not liking it one bit. Change was on the horizon, and now, with the Sorcerer gone, they were on their own.
But Stripes and Sukko knew that safe this haven wouldn't last forever, and needed to look for another.
The Sol Empire.
That planet, with it's dimension, had a unique position in the Multiverse. Another far flung dimension, there was only one version, and it seemed to be completely unaffected of the greater effects of the Multiverse. It's constant shifting had no influence on the Sol Empire. There was only one version of it, and consequently, everyone in it. But Sukko had the wipe the minds of the locals there, to keep his brother in hiding there, as he was never meant to be there. But Sukko knew, as a backup, the Sol Empire was a place to run to, if the worst happened. Sukko's home planet, may have been on the very flung edges of the Multiverse, and thus, little influenced by it, but it was still a 'Mobius' and all the versions of that planet were deeply interconnected. If the whole system collapsed, and they had to get out, Blaze's dimension, the Sol Empire, was a place to go.
His version of 'Sonic' and his family, were easy to hide, especially in the Sol Empire. Sonikku had been married to Shadow in a three way marriage or Sororal Polyamorous Marriage, with Sukko. But despite how much he loved Shadow, when Sonikku realised he couldn't stay on Sukko's version of Mobius, he wanted to move on. He was done with helping Sukko raise his children and the war against Eggman. He wanted to go out there and possibly find a family, of his own, so Shadow let him go. He sighed off the paperwork, and the Blue Blur left.
Despite being infertile on Mobius, Sonikku found a compatible female, a wife, in the Sol Empire and was able to father children. Different planet and dimension, different rules. Regardless, Sonikku was delighted. He got a boy and a girl. Sonikku knew that retirement in hiding, in the safest place the Multiverse, was the best thing for him, as he knew how hard Sukko had worked to get him here. Blaze and the locals, never knew he was there, though they saw him arrive. But they never remembered him, and he was left in peace.
Wiping Blaze's memory of his 'version' of his beloved twin, hurt a lot, but Sukko had to sever all ties. The call of the Cosmos was coming, and Sukko knew he had to leave. But he kept the memories of himself, and the friends he'd made there. Everglade, Arthur, and the Sorcerer's Guild were still going strong, and Blaze, he asked, to swear, that whenever she visited Mobius, to spend time with other 'Sonic's', to breathe nothing of him. He heaved but there was a reason.
The Multiverse was constantly shifting. So much so, that it was highly unlikely that she'd visited the same version of Mobius twice, but due to the demographics, she was known to all of them, so it didn't matter. Regardless, she never knew, or realised, and therefore the Sorcerer was not known on any of them, outside of his own dimension. Sukko quickly realised that despite the vast Multiverse, there was only one version of himself, and only one. When Blaze landed in Sukko's dimension, for the first time, and then subsequently, his into her's, the Sol Empire, Sukko took full advantage of the situation, and permanently established a Magical connection between them, no matter how much the Multiverse shifted.
Yes, Sukko was that powerful.
But with his twin from his dimension, and his own personal legacy safe, Sukko quickly realised that there were other versions of 'Sonic' out there. Through the telepathic connection spawning from Psychic Link, he could feel them, all of them. Millions of versions, and even though he wasn't willing to go to the extents to save them all, like he saved his own dimension's 'Sonic', he felt it was still his duty to help.
Somehow.
But he knew that meant leaving, and going into the greater Multiverse. Up to now, Sukko had only ever used his Magic to inter-dimensional travel between his home-world and the Sol Empire. Now he had to take that further, and see what the cosmos had in store for him.
Sukko growled, knowing he was in for a battle ahead of him. He hated fighting but now, he didn't have a choice. He could sense something was on the horizon, for the Multiverse. Something was coming, and was going to test them all, right to their limits.
Time to go as Sukko stood there in his absolutely identical twin glory, a stunning Blue Hedgehog looking and smelling fantastic. His Blue quills down his head and back, now short, sharp and deadly. He had large emerald-green eyes, peach muzzle and belly and a nice smile. He wore knee high dark brown and beige patterned leather boots, with no socks and grey soles. He had a pair of white gloves with silver bracelets, over the thin cuffs on his hands. Falling off his shoulders was his beloved, long black, leather coat, hiding a enormous jet black dragon across his back, and an even bigger one of a phoenix down his front, as well as Stripes's call-sign in blood on his shoulder. He also had his hard earned Rod of Asclepius on his right arm, and Blaze's royal family seal still on his wrist. He was covered in tattoos. He was broader and heavier then Sonikku, and his muscles could clearly be seen across his chest. He put the Blue Blur to serious shame.
He smirked, yes, he always did, but Sukko heaved.
He was the God of the Cosmos.
He was alone in this, but the Multiverse now needed him.
Finally, activating extremely powerful Magic, he vanished, with a blinding flash of bright royal white light.
