March 1 t.h. 8933, Somewhere across Pluto and Neptune
Flying across space a large whale shaped spaceship floated across the stars. The Mikazuki, one of the ancient four heavenly kings. Four ships that spearheaded the vanguard of the Interdimensional Freedom Army, or IFA during the magical girl war. A crimson whale with a large upward protrusion in its head, a smaller midsection, and large powerful engines that moved its large and bulky frame. Normally a spaceship would be moving between destinations via a warp portal. A micro gravitational singularity that creates a controlled black hole allowing for faster than light travel via the nullification of conventional physics. Normally the time of the jumps depends on the capacity of the warp engine and the distance traveled per jump. And even if an engine broke down, there was a redundant sub engine to ensure that the crew wasn't stranded in dark space.
Inside the bridge of the Mikazuki three of its crew were waiting for a news update. Gekkou Jo a blue haired dragonkin with golden eyes and wearing tribal clothes including a turban and a poncho. Who doesn't have any role or in the ship or any real skills for space travel. Kon Konshuu, is an Akita Inu anim and the second in command of the ship. A tall and bulky dog, eight feet tall and 380 pounds heavy with snow white fur and matching kimono. With the duo looking over the broken consoles, looking stoic and bored respectively. "How long is this going to take?!" Kon complains as he downs yet another bottle of sake in one gulp before burping. Gekkou, annoyed at Kon remarks. "Just be glad that Drake and Cutthroat can fix the engines. After all we can't just call for a tow craft.
At time the engine room has been wrecked by what seems to be lashings with two corpses one of a muscular dark elf and the other a tall slim feline having been brutally torn apart. Seemingly putting up a fight but being overwhelmed, impaled, and ripped to pieces. With the assassin muttering to himself. "Execute Order 66, huh?" Before sulking into the shadows yet again.
Back at the bridge the duo of Gekkou and Kon kept bickering all the while a young girl with long pink hair tied in a ponytail and red eyes. Sitting in the captains chair while sighing and slumping her head on another console bemoaning the current situation. Iroha Tamaki the captain of the Mikazuki quietly bemoans. "First that island and now this... I would do anything for some peace and quiet at this point..." Before pulling up her distinctive white hood and falling asleep. Quickly falling asleep and drooling on her console.
The mysterious killer was wandering across the hallways after killing two other crew members. A trilobite alien with several elongated legs which has been literally crushed like a bug. And another alien which is a crystalline female wearing a doctor's lab coat. Having her arms and legs torn off and firing off glass shards at the killer which miss before counterattacking with a metallic flexible rod that shatters the core in her chest before wrapping her entire body with more rods which crush her crystalline body to powder.
Back in the bridge while Iroha had fallen asleep by now and began mumbling about breasts. Gekkou and Kon are starting to worry about the others in the engine room. Gekkou tries to call the deck. Only to find themselves unable to connect to it which began to freak out the two. "This is getting freaky Gekkou. There's no way that every redundancy just broke all at once." Gekkou merely folds her arms and remains silent. "Okay kid, your strong silent gimmick is getting worrisome." "Should we head to the engine room?" Kon begins to cower and give out excuses. "I-i-i would, but, somebody needs to watch over the captain." Iroha then wakes up and gives the okay much to her second in commands concern.
As Gekkou begins to head out, the connecting door then opens spooking out the trio for a moment before Misha Karelin a big, brawny, brown bear female mercenary with short blond hair in a small ponytail with a lost eye with a nasty scar wearing military fatigues and a vest."What is happening?" Misha asks in her thick Russian accent. Gekkou bluntly explains. "You're here. I'm going to the engine room. Keep an eye on the big baby over there." "Hey!" Kon screams as Iroha laughs at it all to the point of crying all the while Kon continues to complain. Misha simply smiles and states. "I will assist friend." Before a spray of blood flies off the bear and lands on Gekkou. Misha's eyes roll over as she is slowly and brutally torn vertically in half. As Gekkou and Iroha are bathed in blood and gore leaving everyone stunned at the scene as the pieces of Misha's corpse crash violently on the walls. Causing them to be further broken as more blood flies out painting the bridge crimson.
"Slava Ukrania!"
A short golden robot with a mono eye then hovers inside the bridge. Covered in blood as his tentacles retract into his body. "Ashtamangala!" Kon screams. "What is going on here?!" Ash calmly states. "You have outlived your usefulness. Now that Reibai has returned, it is time to die." Ash then fires off his tentacles which are intercepted by Kon using his tower shield. Crashing onto the shield causing it to crack against the assault. "RUN!" Iroha and Gekkou hesitates as the former panics and pleads to escape with them. Kon screamed for them to escape. Which Gekkou takes advantage of. Using her sword to cut of the tentacles allowing Kon to shield tackle Ash into a wall as the other two escape. A pissed off Ash fires off his tentacles, now in heat and vibrosonic flavors which lash out at the hound. Attempting to break the barrier only for Kon to punch the traitors face. Causing a sizable dent on Ash and cracking some of his visor. "What do you think you piece of shit?! Kon snarks with a smile before getting electrocuted as Ash rockets towards the bridge, crashing into the pilots console, breaking it and causing a chain reaction of explosions as the fight continued.
Iroha and Gekkou continue fleeing thru the halls finding the dead bodies of the trilobite and crystalline aliens with Iroha looking on horror. As they are intercepted by several Guardsmen. The troopers of the IFS. These t-visor soldiers with full body white armors carrying beam assault rifles and slugthrower rifles with their leader, marked with a command antenna in their helmet. Wielded a long-staff surging with electricity. Their yellow markings designate the Guardsmen as part of the Capital defense fleet and swiftly fired at the fleeing rebels. Gekkou deflects the shots with her katana with Iroha using her wrist mounted crossbow to head-shot the mooks before leaving towards the hangar.
At that time Kon and Ash continued their battle with both of them beaten and bruised as they fought all across the ship with no one gaining a true advantage. With Ashtamangala using his full aggression which ends up shattering his tower shield. Which leads Kon to tank and hold his enemy. Being battered and bloodied as he counters by tearing off the tentacles before firing off blasts, with Kon using his Howling mouth cannon and Ash used his eye blasts which collided with great might that knocked both back. "It seems we are caught in an impasse." Kon remarks to which Ash states. "No... Evolution! Coela train!" A surge of power rocked the bridge as Ash began to grow and transform. Kon all too aware that this is bad. Tried to push back and while could for a time. Ash rotated all of his cannons towards Kon and fired until the entire deck exploded and was sealed off as a large golden flying bullet shaped like a fish and possessing numerous gun batteries train flew off thru the dimensional connectors which separated the ships decks while firing all over the place.
Gekkou and Iroha finally reach the hangar bay, only to be met with tremors. The duo concerned about whats happening question what is going on as they try to escape as Iroha readies the ship's self destruct sequence only to find out that it too has been sabotaged. "Damn him!" Gekkou asks. "Why would Ash do this? We've been friends for so long and now he sells out to the IFS?!" "I don't know Gekkou, I really don't. Anyways you go first Gekkou, i'll catch up." The dragonkin complies by transforming into a robotic eastern dragon and flying off the gate as Ash crashes thru the dimensions and into the hangar where he is met by a barrage of powerful arrows that damage and slow down the train. Ash counters by firing its wing tipped lasers which cut thru the floor and slice off Iroha's legs. Burning them to complete useless and causing Iroha to fall screaming in pain as the artificial gravity and power shuts down and Ash charges its cannons to finish Iroha off.
"Ui, Touka, Nemu... Yachiyo!" Iroha is then fired on by a concentrated mega particle beam that atomizes her and plows thru the pocket dimensions causing a massive explosion that could be seen from a distance as Gekkou is forced to flee. Using a blind warp jump to escape to safety as Ash fires off more beams that completely wreck the Mikazuki before flying off towards Pluto and warping out to parts unknown.
After coming out of warp, a bloodied and exhausted Gekkou falls unconscious and reverts back to her original form. Caught in the gravity well of Mobius she careens from the skies and plunges into the ocean where she is swept around until washing up on a beach. The voices of two girls could be heard as Gekkou passes out once more. "Seriously?! First those two and now this dragon girl?! Since when are we a rescue service?!" "Be nice Chikane-chan." "So I don't suppose i'm going to carry her back?" "Thank you Chikane! I'll get the lunches to the workers then!" "Goddammit Himeko..,"
Six hours later
Hours later a group of whale like capital ships were gathered around one of their older brethren. The ship known as the Satoshi which has seemingly been sunk and cast adrift in space. With several gaping holes that were blown out from the inside out and nearby wreckage and destruction that suggests that a battle took place and in the battle the ship was wrecked and scuttled afterwards. An investigation team of Guardsmen is looking across the trashed bridge. "So? Find anything?" "No dice, all of the data was magnetically erased. There's nothing left to obtained." The Guardsmen are met by a third member who enters the room. "Looks like a mutiny happened here. More holes than Swiss cheese and dead bodies all over the place. You don't the rebels are fighting amongst them now?" The captain of the trio is then buzzed thru the comm line and interrupts the conversation. "We're leaving people, orders from the top." The group packs up their equipment and leave but not before destroying the Satoshi with the fleets super lasers. Obliterating it and destroying all of the evidence.
Meanwhile an obese man being held aloft by four mechanical tentacles who is reading the orders given to him by his command. The man laughs like a noblewoman while devouring a baby in two bites. "Finally it is time for us to shine!" The man dances using his tentacles as he wipes off the blood from his uniform. "Finally, we will exterminate those hicks in the preservation zone. Those local problems need to learn their place after all." The military man then grans another baby, crushing their head and drinking their blood before tossing the body at a nearby wall. "Yes, all that matters is the eternal now. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!" The mans fleet, a group of Baleena cruisers among others. All colored a distinctive green and black warp out. Leaving nothing in their way outside some floating spaced debris.
Chapter 1: They came from Center
March 3 t.h. 8933: Green Hills zone, South island
The sun shines on Green Hills the capital of the Acorn Archipelago. A series of islands composed of what remained after the destruction of the Incubator hunt, the event that replaced the Homu heresy in the new timeline. With the former island of Japan being fragmented by an explosion in Honshu and a powerful laser that annihilated a good chunk of Sakhalain and burning away most of Russia's eastern coast the complete obliteration as well as the sinking of half of the Korean peninsula. Sinking everything under the sea. Millennia later the Mobians would colonize the area and create the Acorn archipelago with the capital being in South island. The former island of Kyuushu which has become a forested area where Green Hills and Acorn castle is located. Said town located in the former areas around Mt. Yufu with Acorn castle, a white castle composed of multiple rising domed towers that are propped up between the eastern and western peaks which are rumored to guard the Mystic caves and an ancient troll ruin.
But we find ourselves instead in Uncle Chucks diner. A chili dog cart once ran by Charles the hedgehog. But now manned by an unlikely character. A strange woman with long braided purple hair, pointy ears, and a rather fancy robe. Lavender in coloration with numerous embroideries set upon it. Carrying several plates of chili dogs with the use of magic and serving them to the customers as she passes thru.
Merlina the wizard
Court mage turned cook
"Here you go Tails. Ridiculously extra spicy while Touka has mild, and Amy and Gadget have normal ones. Also fries, coleslaw, and sodas, oh and iced black coffee for Touka as well before leaving. Tails grabs a chili dog and begins scarfing down as Amy and Gadget watch. While the genius girl is asleep from working all night before. "I can't believe that wizard girl wound up here." Tails remarked as he swallowed a dog whole. Amy clasps her head complaining. "And now I have to apologize for beating up Sonic that time." "You're always beating up Sonic." Amy stands ups and screams. "But not without reason!" Gadget meanwhile is nodding Touka to wake up and eat. He doesn't say anything because the wolf never speaks, being more silent than Mario. Touka herself at first seemed to be out cold, only to suddenly jolt up, smacking Gadget in the head and causing him to fumble backwards. And Touka to scream out Iroha's name before realizing what happened. "What happened?! Where's Iroha?!" The eternally young genius now mortal and human again. An accidental result of the recreation of the universe post Spiral island screamed in confusion.
"Strange... I had a dream... Where big sister died. She was killed by this machine resembling a fish. So were all her friends being butchered in horrific and brutal ways." The genius recounted. Having changed from her Gothic Lolita dress to a more practical maroon blouse with a small bow and black skirt and a white lab coat while cutting her hair short during the time-skip. "Seriously Toka? We're trying to eat you know!" Amy remarks while Tails nonchalantly eats more chili dogs while Gadget gets up and rubs his head before sitting again with Tails noticing. "With all the death and destruction we witnessed Amy. You would think that it's time to get used to this." "That's the point Tails! I just want to move on from all the crazy. Eggman is dead, the aliens are gone, and that Kagemusha girl has vanished into the ether alongside all of the tower guardians leaving the place empty and forcing crews to take over the systems." Touka herself yawns as she looks at the food asking if Cream is locked in her room. Amy looks away and explains. "Yeah, she's been this way ever since Cheese disappeared. It doesn't help than Khan and Gemerl are off in the Iron Dominion retaking the Dragon kingdom alongside GUN." Gadget meanwhile is chowing down on the coleslaw with a smile on his face. "I hope i'm just overthinking this though." Touka mutters as Gadget passes her a plate of fries which she proceeds to eat. "Thank you."
Meanwhile Merlina goes inside the cart where she looks at an unknown item wrapped up in a brown cloak and tied up. Looks at her hand to see a golden driver key without an emblem, and then heads towards
At that time at Castle Acorn, Princess Sally and her AI assistant Nicole walk across the halls of the palace. The princess herself is chafing and adjusting her new clothes. Consisting of a blue and golden officers coat with crystal ring cuffs used to summon her weapons alongside an officer's cap. Nicole meanwhile hovers next to her trying to calm her nervous master. "This isn't like you Sally." "I can't help it. Father is off in Station square negotiating with the Alliance. And now I'm now an official brigadier general and secretary of defense for the kingdom." A trio of Restoration troopers who are walking by salute the princess and her attendant. Sally and Nicole salute back with the former noticing their armor, being a full driver bodysuit and masked helmets and their assault rifles they are holding. "And now I have to rebuild and modernize our army." Nicole comments. "I hear that we are also getting new Waltzers and Spiricle fighters. I believe their names were the Tennou II and the Temjin." "As well as the new Wispons, Mass produced Tornado's, and those Cargaro carriers from Kanzaki." "You mean the Sakura space designs Sally?" "That one Nicole."
The duo enter one of the elevators inside the lower pillars which sped underground to the castle's hangar bay underneath the castle at the foot of Mt. Fuju, now known as Mt. Mobius. Inside the facility there is not only the local garrison. An area full of activity as workers and engineers worked to modernize and reinforce both the building and castle. A large hangar base where ships and captured Eggman robos salvaged from the Eggman empire which will soon be scrapped and recycled for scrap. But right now being used for pilot training alongside a pair of GUN Belka and Hazred. Two models which are being phased out and replaced by newer models. Formerly the GUN Atlas and now the Tenno II. As the prototype Atlas and of its parts and data were destroyed alongside GUN fortress.
A young redhead carrying drinks ran past Sally and Nicole. The two witness her head to a group of test pilots to give them bottles of water. She is then petted in the head by one of the pilots while the rest of the crew laughed and cheered on. As the girl puffed her cheeks in anger. "I see that Duck and Fakir have settled in properly." Sally remarks gleaming with pride. Nicole then adds. "So is Touka, which has been useful since most of the brain trust died in Eggman's assault. We're just lucky that she and Tails can do the work for a dozen people."
The girl Ahiru or Duck as she is known as is a young looking girl who claims to be a legal adult even when she looks like she is twelve. Having let her hair grow out in an attempt to look more mature she has more or less stayed the same outside a pair of large yellow duck flipper shoes and a new red bandanna that she wears around her neck. Next to her is Fakir who actually looks his age of twenty is currently wearing a Restoration forces flight suit. Similar to the olive green and gray army variants only red and white. "I am an adult you know!" Ahiru yells as she storms off the hangar much to everyone's surprise. Nicole then remarked. "Well mostly settled in." As the duo leaves Sally remarks. "I just hope that father is alright. Eggman may finally be gone, but I have a bad feeling about things." Nicole simply shrugs it off commenting that not even Eggman could have survived both a black hole and a Genesis wave. "You are aware that getting sucked into black holes isn't a big deal."
Eggperial city: Another dimension
Metal Sonic comes out of a portal in the sky. Leading him to plummet into a seemingly endless maze of machinery and metal. Endless numbers of factories, assembly lines, military bases, hangars and ports. Contorted into geometric shapes and connected via networks of interconnected piping and cables that crisscrossed downwards until reaching the bottom of the cylindrical reality where a massive saucer rested above an endless ocean of magma. As Metal fell a gate in the sauce opened causing him to fall into the base before violently crashing down into a darkened room. At the order of a young girl wearing a sky blue variant of Eggman's uniform sunned a group of Egg pawns pick him up and drag him into an CR chamber. With a young girl watching over it all. "Father is dead. And is all your fault. Sonic, I will kill you. I will do what should have been done." The girl then leaves the room passing by the recently killed Grimer Wormtounge. Having a bullet placed between the eyes as blood trickles out of his slumped body.
An unknown time later Metal's CR pod opens and the metal doppelganger wakes up in a poorly lit circular room with no way in or out and shelves holding ancient artifacts of numerous locations and eras. Noticing then that three other robots came to meet him. While it is unusual for a badnik to use a CR chamber since they are pure machines and thus cannot regenerate like other robots. Metal Sonic who was designed to mimic and surpass Sonic, utilizes a combination of technorganic tissue and nanite coating in its construction. Giving it superior durability despite its light frame and allowing to get stronger on its own. Something that no other badnik bar Omega could do as his purpose was to contain Shadow the hedgehog.
First up a robot that looks like a Metal Sonic variant of Tails With a similar body frame to the original, only smaller in size and possessing two large high capacity jet turbines where its tails would be. This Metal Tails seems to be constantly hovering. Never touching the ground unlike the other Metal series it is an unit designed to surpass even Metal Sonic in aerial speed and mobility. Next to him was a Metal Knuckles, a robotic doppelganger built for ground combat. A heavyset automata with large arms with massive spikes which are so large that they touch the ground. Leaving him to drag his knuckles. He also has an ass/tail turbine fitting of the metal line. Finally Metal Amy is the one most like Metal Sonic. A robot version of Amy's current appearance with a large saucer like skirt with four rocket thrusters placed on them and several cutting weapons such as her hair bangs and cuffs. They all stared at Metal, menacingly as he backed off for a moment.
Metal Tails, Metal Knuckles, Metal Amy
The Metal series
Metal then regains his nerve and demands to know what happened. Only for the three robots to remain immobile and silent until a voice ordered them to move aside which they did. Revealing the girl that commanded them. A young child with white skin and hair with blue highlights and a blue version of Eggman's uniform. Which unlike the rest of the Egg bosses is an exact duplicate to the doctors outside of the colors and the feminine proportions alongside a black cloak worn at the side that gives the girl an ethereal and unnerving atmosphere. "Hello brother." The girl curtly says before clocking Metal into the ground and then ordering the other Metal series to pin the former down as the girl stomps on his head.
Sage
The Supreme Egg boss
"Sage!" Metal Sonic screams as Sage steps off and orders the other Metals to lift Metal Sonic up. As she heads back to a monolith shaped throne and sits in it. Revealing a large number of screens that shows all kinds of data. "So, what do you think of the Eggperial city. Where all of fathers weapons and machines are manufactured." "Seriously?! This is where the doctor gets his stuff? Does that mean that the lava is?" "Dark matter, the same type of energy that cannot be normally observed. The same magical energy that can be used to power the Chaos drives that you use. And by using alchemic forges you can create almost anything. Of course the IFS limits the harvesting to prevent collapse events while Eggperial city constantly siphons energy. It's also how MeteorTech cornered the Extreme gear market. After all we can produce dirt cheap products to sell at maximum profit." A powerful earthquake rocks the facility causing things from the shelves to fall off, with the metal series except the floating Tails to stumble and trip. Sage calms everyone by stating. "Do not worry. The dimension is kept stable thanks to this building. As long as the black pillars integrity is maintained there is no need to be concerned.
Metal Sonic looks around and ponders. "So this where the Egg fleet came from huh? And why are those other Metals so quiet?" Sage explains. "They are the most recent, and final creations of the dearly departed Dr. Wormtounge. So their individual personalities are still undeveloped." Metal's eyes suddenly widens as he mutters. "Not him too..." "Indeed with the death of Grimer I am the last remaining Egg boss. With that and the fact that I am then doctors daughter. I am now the new ruler of the Eggman Empire." Sage then smugly sits on the throne as a group of Kiki's are mopping up bloodstains in the corner. "Wait, what do you mean you're in charge?! I've been here longer than you! If anyone should lead the empire is me!" Metal is then electrocuted causing him to fall to the ground twitching and screaming in pain. "That's why, dear brother." "How?" "Father gave me the override protocols for all of the Egg bosses. Those cybernetics they all use? I can set them all to explode now." Metal is horrified upon hearing this but unable to do anything about it. Punctuated with Sage's declaration. "Now, let's avenge father." Sage then tosses a wrist mounted driver at Metal's feet telling him to wear it. Metal looks at the Egg gear noticing how similar it is to the mahou driver only with a gear surrounding the screen instead of using buttons.
Golden capital zone: Christmas island
Christmas island, an island formed from the Tsugairu strait as time and the sea claimed most of it. Only leaving several islands behind all connected via large stone bridges. With the center-most island being known as the Golden capital. A large glitzy casino city whose buildings and streets are painted gold with large sun statues and decorations. At least in the tourist areas as outside of that there is Sunrise beach where most of the population is located.
Sonic the hedgehog is lying on his back on top of a large road sign that has seen better days listening to music while placing a cowboy hat on top of his face while a Pikachu in a sombrero is leaning on the side licking a ketchup bottle. "Bored... So bored..." Sonic complains as he stretches himself causing his hat to fall to the ground. "Pikachu!" "I know, I know. I should move on with my life now that Eggman is gone." "Pika!" "I just can't help but wonder why Eggman hasn't showed up yet. I mean Nicole states that the genesis wave plus the black hole has finally ended him. She is, or was, the admin of the Green tower. But now that the towers have shut down the connections between the admins." Sonic then stares off to the distance where the green tower is located. Just like since the beginning of Mobius settlement could be seen from anywhere alongside the other towers and remembers the battles that happened there including the deaths of Mighty and Ray. Sonic looks to the other side and notices explosions coming from the city. Sonic the jumps off the sigh and into the ground then begins warming up. "Looks like its time to party! See you later Pikachu!" Sonic then blasts forward towards the city at top speed as Pikachu waves goodbye.
Speeding thru the coastline Sonic leaps across numerous pits and spikes before speeding thru a massive loop de loop and heading to Golden capital by leaping onto a highway that passes thru and underground tunnel that takes him to the capital where he sees several police cars and a trio of police use older R1/A Flying dogs which replace their plasma cannons with large floodlights and uses riot suppression rockets instead of plain old missiles. Sonic looks at the cars and follows them to where they are going.
As Sonic and the police head to city hall. The Flying dogs then head above the buildings only to be blasted to pieces by green lightning. Causing the ships to crash and start a fire, leaving Sonic to run ahead. Meanwhile in city hall there was already a battle as GUN forces were trying and failing to stop a Tenrec punk girl that was firing off lightning from her hands. Having already killed several officers, their charred corpses littering the streets. "HA-HA-HAAA! Behold my unlimited power! The power of Surge the Tenrec!" Surge, a green furred Tenrec with wild spiky hair, a black sleeveless shirt, yellow baggy pants, and stud jewelry.
Surge the Tenrec
The lightning punk
A sniper team camped on top of city hall and used a slug-thrower to try and shoot Surge dead. Only for her aura to catch the bullet and fire it back like a rail-gun. Obliterating the top floor causing even more destruction as rubble fell to the ground and the officers plunged to their doom. With both police and GUN officers only being able to watch as Surge continued her rampage until a blue wind suddenly overtook the battle and the falling cop disappeared much to the shock of everyone as it is revealed that Sonic rescued them both. Everyone is shocked to see Sonic as a younger cop asks. "Is that the Sonic the hedgehog?" With the older soldier responding. "Boy, are you in a show tonight, son."
Theme of Sonic: Ready set go, Sonic the hedgehog movie
"Well, well, well. And here I thought I could get a vacation at long last." Sonic commented as he stared down Surge who simply smiled at him with a cocky grin. "I've heard of you. The guy who finally took down Eggman." Sonic loses his composure for a second as he remembers Eggman's death by his hands. "I regret nothing lady." A boastful and hollow statement, something that Surge picks up on. "Whatever. If anything I should thank you. With Egghead gone there is now power vacuum in the underworld. A vacuum that i'm going to exploit." Surge flash steps behind Sonic and fires green lightning which Sonic counters with his own blue lightning which cancels each other out.
A fair distance away someone is watching the fight with great trepidation. "So that is a true magic user. Someone capable of wielding the Chaos force. And what the former king wanted to make." The voice then takes out a pendant showing a younger Tails, Maw, Surge, Cream, and a small blue and timid fennec all lined up in a row alongside a younger Vanilla the Rabbit, Cheese and a brown chao known as Chocola. "Les infantes terribles... The school that ruined us all."
Sonic and Surge are in the middle of their battle. And even though the former is easily outmaneuvering the latter. Surge's raw power is doing damage to Sonic when she does land a hit. Both of them are just as fast. Hitting the speed of sound in a casual manner as they clash in the skies. "Not bad kid. I haven't met anyone as fast since Shadow." "Shut up freak! A natural born winner like you should shut up and die!" Surge then backs off as he fires off a combination electric surge and EMP wave that annihilates the entire Golden capital. Causing all electronics to explode in a chain reaction that causes mass destruction as well as frying the brains of everyone nearby. Dropping dead at Surge's hands who starts cackling like a maniac in assured victory. Then the blue wind begins blowing once more at an even fiercer pace as it changes color into gold and Super Sonic rises from the smoke completely unharmed. This time taking the form he used to take with all seven chaos emeralds. Showing that he has mastered his super form and having the formerly cocky punk shitting bricks at the sight. Before firing off even more powerful lightning which Sonic no sells much to the tenrec's horror. In an act of desperation Surge overloads her right hand with electricity and charges forward, only for Sonic to grab her arm, vanish, and strike her with a massive barrage of spin attacks which causes to fall unconscious and fall. Of course Sonic rescues Surge and hands her over to the two lucky policemen who are still alive before changing back and then leaving. "See, I told you this would be a show." The older cop from before told his partner as they looked at Surge. The younger one then says. "I quit."
Green tower island: Crater beach
In the blasted out remains of central Honshu there is the Green tower. A massive pillar that rises into the heavens and past the atmosphere constructed via reverse engineered ancient construction techniques. A space elevator, planetary restoration and management system, and construction facility. As the insides and underground are guarded by automated defense systems, Galats and their variants, and bio monsters. Genetically engineered creatures of great destructive powers. At the foot of said tower there is Crater beach, a pockmarked coastline riddled with wreckage and salvage. With the nearby village also known as Crater beach being made after the great war as a gathering point for said people alongside less savory types. Green tower island is also a site famous for housing the Shadow cistern. An underground prison and executioners ground which before the destruction of Earth. Also hid the ruins of the Cursed city Mikitahara.
"Wow, another unconscious girl from space?" Remarked Kyoko Sakura getting off her shift as the cook of the Kannazuki alongside Chikane Himemiya drag Gekkou to the room where Sayaka once slept. Even being placed in the same bed she once was put to recover. After placing her in the bed and getting Himeko to take care of the dragonkin. The two girls head back to work. The Kannazuki is a small diner located inside of a hut built from scrap and using straw as decoration near a beach which doubles as Chikane and Himeko's house with living quarters located in the basement while the diner was in the upper floor.
"Order up!" Kyoko yelled as she passed as a smoked ham with garnish and a pick with an olive on it with mustard and chili sauce to Chikane. "You're really good at this Kyoko!" The former magical girl blushes now wearing civilian clothes, getting a tan, and having cut her hair while growing a large ahoge. Having lost her powers and immortality like Sayaka did. And then boasts that the two girls had to eat. Even if Sayaka did most of the cooking. Noting that her companion started off as a horrible cook until learning from Kyoko and growing to enjoy it. Himeko was there keeping busy with her job as a waitress internally smiling about the fact that Chikane has finally made friends. "By the way, how did you and Sayaka end up like this?" Chikane remarks as the two continue their work. Communicating via ear pieces. "We've been more or less stuck together since we were kids. And then the magical girl war happened." The atmosphere tensed as Kyoko told her tale. "You know how I told you that Homura or should I say Kagemusha killed Madoka and recreated the universe? Well we were there as part of the invasion force. Sayaka was affected somehow by the changes and her memory was rewritten I guess. Even now she genuinely believes that we have always been best friends." "You mean, you weren't?" "We tried to kill each other when we first met. What do you think?" "Ouch, so you too huh?": "Yeah, i'm honestly starting to see why you became Kagemusha's lackeys. After all a world where you can live without worrying about crazy supervillians and friends trying to kill each other sounds like a sweet deal. At least the transfer student kept her promises to an extent. Unlike the IFS who just used us as pawns." "Now if only Sayaka could figure that out." Chikane was downtrodden and making that observation with Kyoko following suit.
Meanwhile in the large monitor that was located in the store a news report was being shown at the same time. Several patrons were paying attention while others were ignoring it while either eating or waiting for their meal.
"And we are at day three of the Separatist alliance conference being hosted in Station square. This meeting is to not only discuss Mobius admittance into the largest independence movement in the tri-galaxy area the Separatist Alliance. But also on treaties for the sharing and trading of goods, intelligence, and technology. It's been twenty years since the slaughter of the senate and the takeover of the old men. But also six months since the miraculous return of the destroyed planet Reibai. With its human population seemingly not aging a day since then. While the native Reibai have all but vanished. With the entire race seemingly gone overnight."
"Led by both President Michael of the United federation of Northamer and King Nigel Acorn of the Acorn archipelago. It also features the heads of nations like Holoska, Spagonia, The free states of Mazuri, The dukedom of Soleanna, The Eurish and Shamar pact nations, The Chu-nan exile government,and Downunda. In an international show of cooperation not seen since Eggman's invasion of South island seven years ago."
Sayaka meanwhile was locked inside in the basement trying to contact aid from the Capital with an old ham radio only to fail miserably. Unlike Kyoko she didn't change her appearance in order to avoid suspicion. But is now wearing a blue palm tree shirt. Hearing the same report in a stream in her room she fumes about her current situation. "Stupid Kyoko colluding with the locals! We need to get in contact with the capitol so I can get revenge on Kagemusha." Unbeknownst to her, her body began to fade in and out reality. Sayaka then strokes her chin and wonders. "Still why did I want to kill him?" The bluenette's body stabilized after that even though she was unaware of it all. Sayaka then in a pique of frustration grabs a nearby wrench and starts smacking the ham radio until a transmission was heard from it.
"Sir! Everything is ready for the Exterminatus! Kowloon has been dealt with. And all ships are ready to deploy at your command!" "Do you mind Commander Mixx?! I'm trying to eat after all." "Sir, it is a good idea to eat so much? You could get a heart attack or something after all." "Such maladies have are a thing of the past. And even if I did I can easily replace those useless body parts." "Sir?" "Really? Why did we get sent to the space boonies? I'm amazed that anyone outside those Martian freaks and lizardmen trash could live here."
"Ah, the racism of the capital..." Sayaka bemoans."Anyways I need to get in contact before the IFS destroys this shithole of a planet." Sayaka then leaves while leaving the radio on. Failing to hear the last part of the conversation.
"You know sir. According to reports there are still personnel stranded in Mobius. Maybe we should rescue them first." "Oh no my dear Mixx. The top brass wants this little hot-spot of rebellion snuffed out. If anything those peons should be glad that they will die in the service of the Endless now. Now get me the buttah! GET ME THE BUTTAH!"
Back up top Kyoko is talking with Chikane while cooking a Roux stew. Continuing their conversation from before. "Honestly i'm more worried about Yuma and the orphanage." "An orphanage?!" Chikane replied in shock. "Yeah we run an orphanage alongside our jobs in the IFS. But its been quite a while since we contacted the place so i'm worried." Sayaka then rockets outside and leaves. "Off to contact the homeland before they kill us! Be back before five. Bye!" A moment of silence passes with a confused Kyoko asking. "Do ham radios really work that way?" "No, they don't commented Himeko before going below while muttering. "I'm getting my radio back. And then i'm going to club that blueberry girl for taking it."
GUN bunker: Dusty desert zone
In the other side of the world there is the United federation. Unlike the Kingdom of Acorn it is a mostly human ran nation in Northarmer. Located across the ocean from the Kingdom of Acorn in the other side of Mobius. The Federation is quite possibly the largest political block in Mobius Spreading thru most of North America and all of Central America. With Holoska at the farthest north among the glaciers. And the contested territories of the Mystic ruins in Southamer which are currently begin reclaimed from the Eggman empire by the locals whom are returning from their exile in Soleanna at the south.
In the center of the continental Northamer there lies the Dusty desert zone where the GUN bunker is located. A vast arid desert with pockmarked caverns and giant cacti formed by nuclear explosions created by an accident in an underground silo. With the destroyed silo being found by Eggman and converted into the Egg bunker which was afterwards rebuilt into the GUN bunker after the explosion that wiped out the Egg bunker. Now GUN's headquarters after the destruction of GUN tower, Shadow the hedgehog is resting on the rooftop of one of the four separate buildings that surround the bunker. Where he is thinking of the previous six months.
As the trio enter the new commanders office. The man himself is hiding himself by using his large office chair as the trio salute as Rouge introduced herself and her team. After some silence the commander revealed himself, shocking Rouge at the reveal while Shadow and Omega only look on in confusion. "It seems that the reports of my death were greatly exaggerated, Agent Rouge." The new commander spoke up. "Honestly i'm surprised that you took over my position." He then slides forward three cups of steaming hot mocha latte and asks. "Coffee? I brewed it myself."
"I can't believe i'm seeing this!" Rouge yells as Shadow looks confused and Omega drinks the coffee. "Needs more mushroom." Sitting in Commander Tower's chain is a tall bald black man with a small goatee giving him a physical similarity to Samuel L. Jackson. Wearing the uniform of the GUN supreme commander. Shadow comments. "Look Rouge is it really that difficult that Mace Windu is here? I mean Samuel L. Jackson did Snakes on a plane after all. "That' Agent Stone!" Shadow and Omega are still confused about the situation since neither of them were around during the early days. Stone then speaks up. "I am now Commander Stone. While it was true that I was involved with Eggman. It was because... Well he loved the coffee that I made."
Commander Stone
New commander of GUN
Omega puts back the cup and remarks that it was delicious which causes Stone to smile and Shadow and Rouge to internally asks how Omega managed to drink the coffee. All the while Tower explained what happened. "I used to be Robotnik's assistant. Helping both him and Grimer in the GUN robots during the war. But as you know the doctor went rouge and disappeared after the war ended. No one knows why he vanished but it was rumored that he was dealing with shady things and was a target for assassination alongside Commander Grigori and King Maximilian. And then he came back. With Grimer and Snively in tow. But a jealous Snively stabbed me and shoved me from a cliff into the ocean. I was rescued by a fishing boat and returned to get revenge on Snively. But that ass-hat fled the planet."
"So Snively finally made his move." Shadow stated with Stone adding. "Yes, he seems to have escaped in a bird of prey. With all the data involving the Atlas. Without it and the prototypes blown to pieces we have lost our next generation Waltzer. Fortunately we are looking for alternatives."
Back at the present, Shortfuse the squirrel was being given a tour of the facility by Tekno the canary. "Are you sure that you can do something about the Metagal in me?" Shorty asked as he looked around the cavernous halls of what was once the Egg bunker. "Yes, thanks to the newly acquired mahou driver tech. We should be able to at the very least allow you to revert back to your original form." A female voice was heard behind her noting. "The problem is the metagal. Unlike normal cybernetics. The metagal shell was forcefully grafted into your skin. Honestly its a miracle you haven't suffered rejection like the others." A young teenage girl came out of from behind the duo. The size of a mobian with long blond hair with a blue headband and wearing a standard GUN engineer red jumpsuit with a chest plate, thick insulated gloves and boots with the GUN insignia emblazoned on her right shoulder.
Hope Robotnik
Team Dark engineer
"Oh, Hope! How is the Deatgleamer doing?" Hope sighed remarking, "A lost cause. The ship is being scuttled as we speak. Good news is that we're getting a purpose built ship brought in now." "Who's she?" Shortfuse asked with Hope replying. "Hope Robotnik." Which causes Shortfuse to go on the defensive until Tekno calms him down. "Relax, she's the good Robotnik." Which cause Shorty to calm down and Hope to look at Tekno with annoyance before moving on. "Anyways now that ass-hat Snively turned coat I was assigned to help Team Dark in his stead." "So you're like Tails? One of those kid super geniuses." Hope nods in confirmation as the girl leads the duo deeper inside the facilities as they see numerous soldiers and equipment being shipped around in a hurry. "Everyone seems busy." Shortfuse remarks. "Yeah, security detail for the conference. Shadow and the others are also going as security."
The group passes by a medium sized black and red shuttle craft which design wise is a mix between a rounded out flying wing and a stingray with four missile tubes and a retractable rotating turret. Unaware that Shadow and Rouge are checking out the ship. With a mechanic greeting them with a salute. "So this is the new ship?" "Yes ma'am, the Death hunter. A stealth shuttle capable of covering the world in half an hour at full thrust and capable of functioning in any terrain. Much like any other ship though... But it does have a rotating smart turret and four missile launchers and the systems can easily be slaved to a single pilot." Rouge eyes the craft and asks. "So I hear we will be getting a dedicated pilot this time." "Correct, Irene Amunshen. A recent transfer from the Maverick hunters located in Arcadia." "Ah, the Robopolice? I'm surprised that they are sending people here." Shadow joins in the conversation noting. "Arcadia isn't a part of the IFS. So they are probably covering their bases politically."
Holy summit: Angel island
Angel island is a floating island that was once part of the Mystic ruins before the Day of Chaos millennia ago. Transferred into the world via a Genesis wave. Which like much of Mobius merged with the previous Earth. Their existences and histories being blended together. With the merged timeline making the Echidna's the original rulers of South America before civil war, human expansion from the north, and said Day of Chaos which led to the decimation of most the species. And nowadays has been invaded by Eggman, Attacked by Eggman, Mugged by Rouge, Invaded and attacked by Metal Sonic. Invaded, razed, and mechanized by Juggernaut, and finally restored to normal, but even the damage was done. As the population is critically endangered now with the remaining leadership of the Knuckles tribe is also busy reorganizing their ranks.
Holy summit has also finished rebuilding. With the Master emerald being moved to its secondary shrine location inside the Hidden palace zone. Which was abandoned after Eggman broke in and the Super emeralds were destroyed by the Hard boiled heavies afterwards. Leaving the palace abandoned for years. Now with aid of other governments the palace was made secure again. And now given a permanent security detail in the force of the Echidna security team. The reconstituted Echidna warrior caste. That has been reinvented into a security force after the destruction caused by the Cycles cult.
Echidna village has also been restored with a quickly built large log cabin that now serves as a headquarters and police station for the ESF. With Knuckles and the head of the EST Remmington heading to a field where about 20 echidna's were practicing combat in a field. Remmington, a brown furred echidna wearing a brown colored beret and robe like uniform with brown leather gloves and boots and wielding a wrist mounded cannon in his right hand. A standard EST uniform with the beret being a mark of the constable who is in charge of the team.
Remminton the echidna
Constable of the ESF
Remmington was explaining to the guardian about the recruits while beaming with pride. "Very soon we will have our first batch of recruits fully trained. For now they all echidnas, but if it all pans out we will be expanding our recruitment to dingoes and devils." "Is that why you have those two watching?" "Ah you mean Trash and Harry? The representatives for Albion in Northern Eurish and Isolated island in Downunda? Well yes actually." Knuckles also smiled mentioning. "I never though that we would work together." "Well, considering how bad the cultists assault was. It makes sense to bury the hatchet." Harry the Dingo noted. A brown furred creature wearing a sandy brown cloak and goggles meant to protect from Isolated island's harsh sun and dry weather. Trash merely looked to the side and crossed his arms in annoyance. "A purple dread-locked Tasmanian devil that is much larger and very muscular and top heavy than the echidnas let alone Harry who is very much a beanpole under the cloak. Trash then notes. "Don't you have somewhere else to be guardian?" Knuckles then remembers and freaking out runs towards the village where the Master emerald shrine was located.
Knuckles then sped towards the shrine which hasn't really changed outside of having pieces of it's stonework blown off. Entering the back door the guardian reaches the council chambers. There he meets the echidna elder Tialoc who had now a redder echidna that has become taller and fatter to the point that he needs a floating bowl to travel with large brows and beard. High priestess Tikal who is a distant descendant of the original Tikal and a distant relative of Knuckles as well as being a near identical copy of the first one. Relic the pika and a giant fishbowl full of water in the middle of the chamber containing Chaos.
The elder breathed in and out before speaking. "Knuckles, we have gathered here for a reason." Knuckles nods as Tikal continues. "We have sensed an ill wind coming from the stars. Something that could threaten our very existence." Relic then added. "Sadly the Gizoid troopers are beyond repair. It just shows the difference between them and Gemerl. Even Fixit is more of a patch job than anything else." "So there is nothing that can be done?" The elder asked. "No, we will have to search for a new guardian." Knuckles is taken aback at the news and tries to oppose it. But Tikal reminds him about Juggernaut. To which Knuckles has no choice but to stand down as Tikal continues. "For better or worse we have no choice but to end our policy of isolationism. The Cycles cult was a rude awakening for everyone in Mobius. And you need to be ready for the next threat." The elder finishes. "Knuckles, you are to go to the surface to train. Not just to get stronger, but to unlock your super form as well." Knuckles bows respectfully and leaves without saying a word.
Relic asks if Knuckles will be alright to which the elder sorrowfully mourns. "Knuckles was forced into his role. If only his father Pachacamac didn't get killed that day." Tikal bitterly snaps. "It was that stubborn mule's own fault! The Starfall islands are forbidden for a reason, even now." Silence fell upon the room as Relic headed to Chaos' fishbowl with a box of fish flakes.
Dragon road zone: Chu-nan
Monkey Khan and Gemerl are currently having a day off in one of the many small villages built around the titular Dragon road. A massive and timeworn stone wall that divides Chu-Nan from the neighboring Silvana territories an abandoned location wrecked by previous wars and pollution outside of White park zone. A mountainous city famous as a tourism spot. Mad Gear zone, an Eggman base located in the Oil desert. A desertified part of Mongolia where Eggman tried to drill for oil. And the northern Aurora ice-fields. Which are considered no mans land because of the Zeti who live in the Lost Hex. An expanded underground born out of the former Russia's underground bunker systems.
Among the many villages set up around the road is Wu. A mid sized village deep in the chameleon lands and home of the Lin Kuei palace. The former home of the shinobi clan and now mostly abandoned aside from the starpost facility and areas converted into both storage and an inn. The starposts are a short range teleportation system located in many worlds. Although their range only goes as far as the surface of a planet or moon. With the only way to leave a planet being either a spaceship or an orbital elevator where the occasional Star rail passing thru the area. An ancient group of space-faring locomotives that travel the universe.
People often gather around starposts with the buildings housing them usually doubling as trading and tourism hubs. With the larger ones serving as independent spaceports. The ports are typically ran by the Star train organization. An independent entity that manages the warp systems not only in the IFS but the universe itself. It's neutrality is iron clad and it is an unspoken rule that if one faction tries to gain undue influence, including itself the others will strike back. Ensuring that the warp zones cannot be used for political purposes or any other nastiness.
Monkey Khan and Gemerl exited the starpost portal coming out of a blue portal and showing their proof of transfer to the automated cashier at the desk to the side. The palace station is full of people waiting for transfer and tax free stores selling local trinkets and food among other things. With a group of musicians in a fountain, playing for change. "I see this place is as cheery as ever." Khan comments, having traded in his gi with a more regal outfit composed of a red changsang with golden accents with white pants underneath with sturdy red boots. The emblem of the Shujin temple is emblazoned in the shirt's back. While Gemerl, a robot. Hasn't really changed his appearance. Passing thru crowds of chameleons who eye the visitors suspiciously. The two leave the station and enter the village. A rather impoverished village that has seen better days.
Outside the building the duo begins talking. "So, Cream is still?" Monkey Khan asked to which Gemerl responded. "Miss Vanilla called and Cream is still locked up in her room." "Damn! It's been six months already." Gemerl looks down to the floor commenting. "She's getting better though. And Cream is also getting therapy. Anyway, how long until we reach the Shujin temple?" "Sadly, there is no post station nearby so we'll be hoofing it." As the group continues on they run into a row of bamboo stakes holding the severed heads of various Lynxes all in different states of bloodied mutilation and decay including the heads of Lightning Lynx and the Bride of conquering storm. Which causes Gemerl to almost puke on himself. Khan looks away and simply states. "The fighting has gotten worse now. With Eggman and the Dominion gone the scattered tribes have begun vying for power." An annoyed Gemerl complains. "You're the monkey king descended from Sun Wukong right? Can't you do something?" "That's the thing G-Merl. The heads of the clans don't want the Wukongs back in power. Not as long as they can claim dominion for themselves."
TK-421: Castle Blade
The mechanist sector. A location in the outer disk of Andromeda famed for the construction of machines, and the research of cutting edge technology. Many of the worlds being either dead worlds. Whether its fallen civilizations or hollowed out lands stripped for ore and resource. As well as world forges. Giant planet sized factories that have existed for almost a million years. Pumping out every kind of machine and technology imaginable using the many asteroid belts as resources as well as other planets with some of the "worlds" being nothing than a factory that has long consumes the bio-sphere. TK-421 is a frozen moon surrounding the world of TK-000, a gas giant not unlike Jupiter but five times larger and possessing 426 orbiting satellites. With the numbers of the satellites numbers corresponding from closest to farthest to the planet. With the planet itself having a massive gravity well keeping the moons in orbit.
The moon itself its an icy frozen wasteland. There was life and civilization at one time. But it is long gone by the current era, with only scattered ruins left buried in the snow and ice. Deep in TK-421's mountains there lies Castle Blade a Japanese style manor with Reibai influences such as the K'ssar wood pillars. Treated wood that was once used in spaceships that could resist extreme temperatures. And numerous emblems of both the circular four point compass of the Reibai and Kagemusha's personal emblem dotting the facility. Meant as both a secret research and construction lab as well as Kagemusha's personal castle by request. Inside it lies numerous areas including pathways inside the mountains where construction facilities, research stations, and weapon depots. The main manor serving as both a massive barrack and a command center and living quarters.
There is also a workshop for designing and building kaiju. Just like a certain large insectoid monster whose face and body is covered in bandages. "Why am I alive?" Lepard Arachne asked as he looked at Monika who had for the past six months been forced into command as Kagemusha had locked herself in her room ever since the universe was restored. Monika, now wearing her familiar brown haired ponytail tied by a white string while wearing a simple white dress with a green jacket and shoes simply answered. "Because we need you as the arm for Ronin-Oh, that's why. The Sumeragi generals can't transform after all. Lepard tried to transform into his kaijin form but couldn't much to his concern. Monika then explains. "Think of that as a punishment, and a warning." As the AI girl leaves the room, Lepard all alone clasps his hands in anger as he looks to the side seeing a new priests garment alongside a sky blue coat.
"Why? Why did Madoka?" Kagemusha questions while she is watching her changed eyes with a mirror borrowed from Monika. Now being a bright purple in the left eye, and golden in the right. "I betrayed her didn't I? Locking herself in her laboratory as numerous machines are working non-stop to construct new devices which are sent off via automated conveyor belts. Putting it down Kagemusha puts her helmet back on. Similar to her old one only with upward swept wings not unlike horns and her side bangs and black hair coming out from said helmet. "Now what do I do?
Flashing back to six months ago. Sonic and Madoka head to the broken and burnt corpse of the demon king with the seven Chaos emeralds all falling over the ground. Madoka herself comes closer to check the body only for Kagemusha to come back to life with her wounds healed. "That sucked... And what's worse is that i'm still alive." Knuckles heads over and asks. "You know if you wanted to die. Why go thru all this?" "Knuckles!" "It's the truth Amy." To which Kagemusha replies. "If I could do it. Wouldn't you think I would do it?! I'm still immortal even now! How would all of you feel if all of your friends got old and died while you stayed the same! Over and over, until the end of time! That's why I agreed to do it. Because the only way that Madoka can be safe is if Kyubey and me were never born! Now do it. After all i've done i'm sure you all want revenge now. The only thing I have left is my immortality and time manipulation powers. So i'm sure you'll enjoy beating me up for days!" Finishing her speech with a bitter but resigned tone. "Fine by me!" Knuckles replies with Kagemusha smiling in expectation. And as Knuckles readied his punch Madoka gets in the way and Sonic and Tails grab his arms. Later the former goddess hugs Kagemusha who alongside Glasses Homura are downright incredulous of what is happening. "That's enough all of you! And Homura-chan, both Homura-chans I know you both care a lot for me. But I don't want a world built on sacrifices!" Stunned in shock Kagemusha replies with a passionate. "She's not me Madoka! She needs to die and if you won't do it I will!" Madoka simply exhales and calmly states. "If you do that. If you take the path of a killer. Then you will become the Demon king. Someone who is no better than those she tries to stop." Those words manage to diffuse the conflict and as Madoka let's go. Monika takes her place hugging Kagemusha while crying which leads to the latter to hug her back.
Kagemusha then looks at multiple screens all showing different mechs and weapons which are being designed and built in the factories. As well as videos of the Burial fleet reaching Mobius. "I need to hurry. This time Sonic Arc won't be enough. The screen the switches to three whale like spacecraft roughly eleven meters long. Two being wide in design not unlike a filter feeding whale. with massive twin thrusters and long flat wings. One being blue and gold and the second one being red and brown. The third one is much slimmer having a super laser cannon on the head with smaller but just as powerful engines with sharp angular wings. With it's colors being green and black. There was also a fourth vehicle. A huge trailer truck witth red, black, and yellow coloration and a stocky rounded body design with a visored canopy and large exhaust pipes. Behind them lie a sizable fleet of smaller vehicle mecha.
Above Mobius orbit
The Eternal now's theme: Moebius battle phase 2: Xenoblade chronicles 3
The Burial fleet has finally gathered around Mobius. Led by three Baleena class battleships. Descendants of the four heavenly kings designs with all the bells and whistles. Using retractable buster cannons, laser and missile arrays, interceptor systems, and a twenty waltzer and forty Vortex fighters. And of course the Devastator super laser which can obliterate planets Three Schooler class carriers, a massive carrier that can carry 500 craft each. While featuring long range missiles and sniper cannons. 20 Villainous class, long range patrol craft which use multiple sniper cannons, six drop pods that can serve as both Waltzer pods and orbital drop pods and a detachable central pod for a bridge. 20 Puka Puka class assault cruisers. Smaller craft with multiple rotating turrets and homing missile batteries that launch upwards. Leading to a total of 46 craft and their support to be used in the destruction of Mobius. And even then this is only one of four wings that compose the fleet and a minuscule fraction of the IFS might.
Inside the Infernal, A Bajeena class specifically customized for planetary bombardment at the expense of speed and maneuverability and the flagship of the first wing the commander was watching over the planet from her captains seat in the bridge. Mixx, a human female with no last name that was horrifically scarred as a private. Leaving her bald with burnt skin and scarring and having to replace her arms with the left one being a cement launcher capable of mixing concrete. Which is how she got the name Cement Mixer. Adjusting the shades that now serve as her eyes she looks at an expensive china plate then picking up and eating a piece of limestone like if was an apple utilizing a jaw that has been replaced by machinery. Causing the mixing barrel to spin as the limestone is ground to power. Followed by Mixer chugging down an entire pitcher of water in one gulp.
Mixx/Cement mixer
Commander of the first wing of the Burial fleet
One of the Burial fleet Guardsmen. Lightly armored soldiers with the typical Y-shaped visor and upward wings based on Kagemusha's armor. They as well as the rest of the fleet wear green and black uniforms that show the IFS emblem in their chests. Saluted his superior officer and reported that all ships are in position. To which Mixx smiles and as she prepares to give the order to strike. The crew is interrupted by a newcomer who orders a delay on the attack. An angry Mixx screams. "Suzume! Why are you stopping this?!" The woman, Suzume is a mage wearing concealing bee themed armor with long silver hair and a mask of a pair of bug eyes that seem to be affixed to the girl and a permanent scowl in her face. While the armor is concealing. Unlike Kagemusha you can tell that she is a girl as the armor is more form fitting and has a short skirt. "Lord Natch wishes to personally oversee the slaughter. You are to wait until then."
Suzume
Enforcer of the Eternal now
Mixx merely scoffs at the order stating that destroying this part of the space boonies will be easy. After that he picks up a piece of gravel from the plate and eats it. Suzume chides Mixx and then pulls out a pair of arm blades that she then uses to almost decapitate the latter in one move causing her to stand down. Suzume retracts her blade and tells Mixx in a blunt and emotionless manner. "Do as you're told. If you do you will become one of us." Suzume then makes to the door and leaves. Leading the commander to fume. "From one slave driver to another. Then again with Kagemusha dead we can now rape, pillage and burn to our hearts content. And after this is done, an immortal life of pleasure and debauchery awaits." Mixx continues eating rocks while ordering her subordinates to get more water.
To be continued...
