Japari park mountains
The mountainous ridges of Japari park. Yet another place that has fallen to war and ruin. The mountain itself is a perpetually snowy region. Pockmarked by craters formed by explosions and warfare. The trolley system had long fallen into ruin. Forcing the locals to chisel out roads from the mountain itself. With said roads being paved with bricks composed of a mix of clay and concrete. Wide enough that our heroes convoy can pass thru without little trouble. Until they reach the peak where they find an abandoned villa. Now a smoldering crater in the middle of its peak from which the ZAFT trio, and the Gundam meisters watch Fennec open a safe that opens the basement door. With the rest of the bus convoy being sneaked in thru the canopy below. With Serval. Caracal, and Raccoon leading them inside while calming down the populace.
The convoy stops as a group of Kemurkusans head to repair and refuel the buses with Raccoon leading the group outside wielding a small flag with the Japari park symbol. "Everyone please leave in a single line and head to the lobby nano-da. There you can find the Japari coffee house, the Japari arcade, the Japari auto rent service, the Japari duty free store, the Japari movie theater, Japari weapons and armor shop, the Japari flamethrower." Raccoon pulls out a flamethrower with Serval's head for a muzzle and fires it above her in controlled bursts, and finally pulls out a palm sized Raccoon plushy and Fennec plushy in each hand. "And of course official Japari merchandise like these highly collectible and speculative Japari babies nano-da."
In the depths of the mountain, all relevant parties gathered to discuss the situation. In said table were Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Shinn Asuka, Serval, Caracal, Setsuna F. Seiei, Allelujah Haptism, Marie Parfacy, and Tieria Erde. They are joined by Alpaca Suri, an alpaca Friend with white braided hair and a white fur coat with a red ribbon who owns the establishment. Grape-kun, an ordinary Humboldt penguin who just happens to be a ghost. Riri a young Kemurika girl with a cheerful demeanor who is in the charge of the local Kemurika populace. And Tsuchinoko, a mysterious Friend who is a girl in a brown snake hoodie with green hair and glowing eyes. Staring at the group from the entrance. Raccoon and Fennec meanwhile are taking care of the civilians and trying to keep their spirits up.
Ost: Back in time, Sonic R
"And it's time for karaoke night! With me Arai-san nano-da!" "And meeee! Crested ibis!" Raccoon and the bird Friend with white hair with long side bangs that go from salmon pink to black and have wings as well as having dead lifeless eyes while wearing a white and pink coat with pink tights who performed a fancy ballerina twirl while announcing herself. Who both start singing out of tune vocal songs from Sonic R. As glass shatters all around them and the audience flees in a panic.
So take me back in time. To another world.
When you can be mine. We don't have to worry.
When you're by my side. There's nothing I don't know.
There's nothing to decide. So take me where we want to go.
Meanwhile Fennec looks on in trollish amusement from a distance as the karaoke machine explodes. "Arai-san... You suck at this..."
Back at the conference the gathered groups were discussing their plans while eating from a large plate of Japari buns. With Shinn being especially fond of the sugary treats. Wolfing them down at such speeds that the staff needs to put new plates. "Anyways the 00 Quanta is using its quantum communications links to guide the Ptolemaious here." Tieria explains to the group. Riri then pulls out a paper map where she points to the mountain ranges that they are in. "This is where we are in the mountain biome of Kyoshu. Kira asks. "Kyoshu has mountains?" As he looks to Athrun who reminds Kira that he is Canadian and that he and Cagali are Japanese and should know this much. "It doesn't matter." Riri interjects. "The sandstar has irreversibly altered the planet. And the only reason that the few pockets of technology and civilization haven't rotted away including the Japari bun plants is because of the Kemurikans engineering skills. Meanwhile Shinn is fighting Serval over the Japari buns with Marie and Caracal breaking it up in the background. Riri then points to a place beyond the sea. A subtropical jungle biome surrounding a meseta. "That is where Midori is located. The primary Midori tree and the homeland of the Kemurikans. There is a listening post that can help you find your friends. The problem is that the current outbreak is preventing communications between the park." "Which is why we had to use that train to get to the owls..." Athrun bemoans.
Grape-kun then chirps in penguin sounds to which Alpaca translates. "You are to head to the jungle biome in the An'nin region. Where the Great Midori tree is located. There you can obtain the location data where the main Cellien hive is." "But what about our friends?" "What about them?" Alpaca asks in annoyance which causes a fight to break out between the ZAFT trio and the Friends. Setsuna was silently controlling the Quanta to try and find some leads. But found that the sandstar is interfering with his scanners. With the only one fully functioning is the laser link that is reaching off-world. And that it has finally contacted the mothership. "Is sandstar similar to GN particles?" The innovator wonders as the meeting continued without him.
After an hour or so and the fight between Shinn and Serval broken up when Caracal threw the latter a mouse toy which she is pawing around on the floor. "SUGOI!" While Marie is looking at Serval in tears due to cuteness overload.
In the end Alpaca summarizes the plan in that the ZAFT trio alongside Setsuna and Caracal will head to the Great Midori tree in order to use its sensor arrays to both find the Cellien nest and their missing comrades. Tieria and Allelujah will be aiding in the defense of the mountain as Friends all around Kyoshu are gathering here for a final siege. They will use their Gundams while Raccoon and Fennec will be on the ground. While Marie is hugging Serval and refusing to let go. The trio will be given a cargo plane as the 00 Quanta will serve as an escort as they are escorted to a refurbished Lockheed C-130 Hercules modified to fly in Japari park with a sandstar glide unit that survived the second Cellien eruption inside a patched together hangar. As the ZAFT trio and Caracal enter the plane they argue on how are they going to fly the plane. At least until Grape-kun enters the plane, sits on the pilots seat, puts on a captains hat. And turns on the plane to the surprise of everyone as they took their seats. The tarmac gate opens as a runway rises from the ground and links with the mountainside. The 00 Quanta also deploys, hovering above the runway as the plane begins to take off. The planes glide unit atop the craft glows red as energy veins spread through the superstructure. Causing the sandstar laden air to gather and form a sort of cloud that creates lift-off and thrust. Setsuna looks on in curiosity as the other meisters tell him to get going.
Meanwhile in the depths of space, a mobile suit carrier flew towards a massive space station. The station, which was more like a small country than a large cylindrical tower with a powerful series of waltzer cores across it foundations. The cores both creating artificial gravity for the inside of the colony and maintaining a stable gravitational position at the absolute edge of the Milky way galaxy. Said ship, the CBS-742 Ptolemaious 2 Kai. A refitted multipurpose assault mobile weapons carrier with four large mobile suit catapults on the front of the ship. And large boosters in the back with the famous conical GN thrusters on the back. It enters the Trailblazer class mobile colony thru a large series of spaceports where countless spaceships enter and exit continuously. Belonging to the Star train organization a universe spanning organization that manages of both the starposts and other warp technology. A neutral and protected organization and an independent organization like the guilds or the space mafia.
"Thank the heavens for the Quanta's quantum space systems. Otherwise we would never find the meisters desu." Mileina Vashty commented. A young girl in her mid teens with flowing brown hair held back by a white hairband. Wearing a yellow and white Celestial being uniform who is cheerfully looking at the data in her screens. Said uniform uses a short green skirt and white stockings unlike the others. On the other operations console is an older woman with short pink hair and a pink uniform who is sitting silently with a look of concern. "Are you worried Setsuna desu?" In a mischievous trolling manner. Feldt Grace silently confirms which causes her companion to quickly shut up. Lasse Aeon, a muscular manly man with a scar on his chin and short raven colored hair in a buzz-cut. With an equally black and white CB uniform. "Relax everyone, Setsuna and the others won't die so easily." Meanwhile Sumeragi Lee Noriega is watching a data screen showing the readings of the quantum communications of the 00 Quanta. The ships tactical operator and de-facto captain she is a tall, well endowed woman with long wavy brown hair wearing a purple colored uniform of Spanish descent. "The quantum link seems to eroding though." With said comment catching the attention of everyone as Mileina who begins looking over all of the readings and notices the interference. "What could be responsible for this desu? The only thing that is coming in is the 00's beacon desu."
"I must say this ship is quite impressive Miss Latecia." A blonde adult man wielding a silvery scar on half of his face in a white CB uniform with black stripes on the left and right sides who is gleefully looking all over the internal docks. A woman? Innovades tend to be gender-less so it requires their personality to identify it. Which is why Ribbons Almark is considered male, white Hilling Care is considered as female. "The woman is almost exact clone of Tieria, glasses and all. With their slight longed bob cut hairstyle and cold and serious being the sole difference between them. As well as lilac uniform to Tieria's purple one. "I know that we're understaffed. Especially now since we're in the middle of who knows where. But we really shouldn't have saved you." The blond known as the former ESF flight commander Graham Aker merely chuckles encouraging Latecia with. "Do not worry partner. With the two of us combined we are worth ten thousand enemies!" Graham starts laughing while Latecia inwardly admits that he had a point.
Chapter 9: Journey between the worlds
Six months have passed since the universe was returned to normal thanks to the actions of the Resistance. Still the scars of Spiral island remain. With many having died and coming back to life. After these events the IFS has began its oppressive crackdown in order to end any opposition to their rule. This has led to an attempt at an united separatist movement to either stop or secede from the IFS. It is the year Third history 8932. The three galaxies that were once united under the banner of liberation from evil have now become the oppressors. Civil war is threatening to tear worlds apart. And the belief that the empire will collapse is common.
But this is another story...
In the depths of Eggperial city
Metal Sonic shambles down one of the many corridors in the depths of Eggperial series. Remembering what happened an hour ago. Where Sage had electrocuted Metal Sonic in a fit of anger when he tried to get her to stop attacking the rest of the Metal series after their previous failures. Tanking the blow before being kicked out by the other Metal robots. It was already bad enough when Eggman was in charge. But he at least could fight and kill Sonic. The mechanical copy was built to match and exceed his template. Yet the intervention of the aliens has ruined everything. Not only is there a force that makes the empire irrelevant, regardless of his younger sisters delusions. But Sonic is in outer space, even if he could leave Mobius. Its kinda hard to find something in space when you have no idea where they're going.
Finally reaching a closed off laboratory and forcefully unlocking the doors by ripping them apart and tossing the metal away and entering the room. Where he finds the sealed off personal laboratory of Grimer Wormtounge. As the robot searches through the lab he discovers a box of dumplings of the damned. Alongside several stale buns included a half eaten one. "So I guess that Sage was telling the truth about Grimer." Metal then notices dried blood and brain chunks splattered on a wall. Something that visibly unnerves Metal Sonic as he turns the rooms power and activates the computers inside. Once the computer boots up Metal notices a file which he opens/
"My name is Grimer Wormtounge. If you are reading this message doctor. Then I am dead. Anyways before I died I was creating my ultimate weapon of mass destruction" The console shows a series of blueprints. Multiple Metal Sonic's based off his several forms. Only colored black with golden stripes, a new and massive Metal Sonic model with systems meant to control said army, and a strange genetically mutated breed of plant designed to both destroy and empower machinery. The Metallix troopers, Emperor Mettalix, and the Krudzu plant. Or a heavily modified variant of it. Operation Metallix, a plan to raze the planet with super-powered Sonic clones. A project shut down by Eggman years ago due to ideological differences. Of course Grimer was ever loyal to his master so he complied. "Grimer and Sage never did get along, Especially after they were sent to guard Eggperial city." Metal moved forward towards another section where a massive and dust covered hangar was located. Looking over the room he notices hundreds of pods holding the troopers. And a massive pod hidden within a tarp.
Metal tears off the covering inside revealing a ten meter tall red Metal Sonic look alike with sharp jagged features, a much larger torso compared to its head with large pauldrons, a large open and fanged mouth and strange technoorganic vines bound around its arms. Smiling the robot looks at the machine but noticing that Emperor Metallix lacks a potent enough power source that was being created in an abandoned Eggman base the Newtrogic High zone as a Chaos emerald substitute."Research on the use of alternate doomsday power sources." Metal continues to read the data in the report and learns things involving the time stones, the phantom ruby, and the power rings. An experiment by Eggman to empower special rings with power stone energy. Primarily a massive stone located in a crater in Souamerica where the facility was located. Calculating a plan he activated a group of troopers who began helping him with the construction of an array. All the while taking an Egg gear, an evil wrist mounted counterpart to the mahou driver that can use emblems as well. S
At that time Sage was in the bridge silently looking at the many monitors and screens as Orbot and Cubot finish the work on the Egg Giganto. Sitting down and clutching her head remembering how her father sent her here for her own safety. As the doctor couldn't guarantee her safety when his plans to rewrite time and space occurred. Sage waited for days alongside her brothers and Grimer, whom she found annoying and got into fights often. At least until one day, shortly after Eggman was declared dead. The tension between the two reached a boiling point.
"What are you doing Grimer? Father ordered that the Metallix will be kept offline!" "The Doctor is gone Sage!" Grimer screamed with a scowl of rage and despair as he began the activation process and violent chowing down on a manjuu of the damned. Leaving the strange violet manjuu half eaten on a nearby table. "As second in command of the Eggman empire I order you to shut down the console." "Be quiet interloper!" Grimer screamed at Eggman's daughter. "I was the one whom the doctor trusted before you! You are a mere child! But no more!" Grimer lunges at Sage but is easily overpowered. Her superior skills countering every single attack and landing the troll flat on his back over and over again. Frustrated Grimer attempted to fire a blast of ion energy with his hands, only to be paralyzed and lifted up by telekinesis by Sage who charges up an energy finger beam stating. "I never liked you." And shot him multiple times in the head. Killing the scientist on the spot. Afterwards Sage then entered the command room dragging Grimer's corpse and threw it into the wall. Freaking out Orbot and Cubot and Sage left. Her despair and madness for all to see as her blue components shifted to their old red coloration.
Apr 1 t.h. 8932, Wachowsky house Green hills
The Wachowsky family were a family befriended by Sonic when he came to Green hills from Spagonia. As Uncle Chuck constantly spent time crisscrossing the entire world for academic reasons while managing his chili dog stand. The closest thing Sonic the hedgehog has to a residence. Even getting his mail from a PO box in their name. Right now they are taking care of Cream the rabbit who is still in her depression watching TV with lifeless eyes. In the distance the rest of the family except one. Tom, Madie, and Jojo. Tom AKA the Donut lord for his odd tendency to speak to them and quite possibly control them. Is the patriarch of the family. A straight laced cop who is very good at his job. His pale skin and ruffled brown hair is a remnant of Central US ancestry. One of many scattered groups of humans who escaped Earth as refugees before the scouring. Maddie, Tom's wife, a black woman with long straight hair that works at the local veterinary. And Jojo Belushi, Tom and Maddie's niece who often stays around them. A cheerful girl who admires Sonic like an older brother. Missing is Rachel Belushi who is Jojo's mother and Maddie's sister. Looking on in concern at Cream and then when Jojo went over to cheer up Cream.
"Are you alright Cream?" Cream simply stares at Jojo then looks downwards. "What's wrong Cream?" Cream quietly remarks. "What's wrong? What's wrong? My best friend is dead. My other best friend is in Chu-Nan partying it up."
The scene cuts to Gemerl and Monkey Khan wading thru a mountain, in then middle of a blizzard, and occasionally find frozen over bodies of travelers who died in the trail. With some of them being eaten to an extent."We're going to die here aren't we?!" Gemerl complains as the storm swallows them both.
Cutting back to Cream who is still in a despair induced mess. "I was part of an illegal child super soldier program because of my freaky powers since I was a toddler. And after that I have seen nothing but bloodshed, destruction, and having my friends murdered in brutal manners like if it was something out of combat. Aside from that, everything's fine. How about you? Nice weather we're having huh?" Jojo then starts crying and runs off to her room to the shock of her relatives. Maddie was going to scold Cream when an explosion is heard outside. "Oh, what is it now?!" And heads outside with Tom following in hot pursuit.
A golden portal then appears in the Wachowsky's front yard that shows a figure similar to Sonic only hideous and oddly muscular and photo-realistic with a noticeable gut while wearing black shades, a brown duster jacket and an FBI badge in his lapel. While showing his odd human teeth. "I have come bearing a message for Sonic the hedgehog... I mean the videogame version, not me. Name's Ugly Sonic, star of Ugly Sonic uglier crimes." Tom comments that he loves that show and asks for an autograph.
'
Ugly Sonic
God's mistake
Maddie though heads towards Ugly Sonic and asks why does hen want Sonic. "Well a man named Luther Lars wishes to enlist his aid in recovering a relic from the ancients." Tom remarked. "The Ancients? Sonic told me a bit about them. But shouldn't their technology be dust right now?" "True, but Ancient technology is built from datamaterial. As long as an energy source can be maintained the material can last forever. It's because of Sonic's experience with said stuff that we need him to go to Coral in the Algol galaxy." Tom answers with. "We can't do that. Algol is a quarantined area. And it's on the other side of the universe. Even at full warp it would take months to go there and back." Ugly Sonic simply points his finger at the Wachowski's and boasts. "That's why we have this." He then points out at the yellow portal from which Tom notices a gold border. "A warp ring my friends. Thanks to the Ancients Mammon machines we can create instant portals/ And once we reclaim the main device we can wish for whatever we want."
Upon hearing that Cream bolted to Ugly Sonic and asked if it could revive Cheese to which the hedgehog answered that Luther believes its possible. Cream then flat out lies that she is Sonic. An act that his ugly counterpart does not buy for a second. All the while Maddie grabbed the young rabbit and told her that she is going nowhere and to think of her mother. Cream simply looked at her and kicked her in the crotch before apologizing and leaving thru the gate. Ugly Sonic simply stood there and said. "I gotta go." And headed thru the portal as well which then quickly closed up.
Apr 1 t.h. 8932, Red mountain zone
In the heights of Red mountain. The highest peaks of Angel island and a volcanic locale next to Ice cap and below the Sky sanctuary. It is a mountain containing many machines and devices integrated into it thanks to Eggman. As well as surging pillars of fire across massive chasms. With said tech repurposed by the remaining echidnas to aid in transport and defense. And Red out-keep, a locale that is one of the few remaining remnants of Juggernaut's reconstruction of the island. As well as an elevator to Lava reef a combination geothermal plant, powers stone mine, and high security prison facility. At this moment the main Echidna security team, Remington, Beretta, and their animal companion Chomp. Using the mountain as a training ground. And while their leader Remington leads the other thru the mountains in a twenty mile jog. Remington was doing well, Chomp was happily running around the group. While Chomp the creature from Azure lake that is now part of the EST as a guard animal is barely able to keep up. Being forced to drag himself with a pipe alongside a group of recruits.
Remington the echidna
Constable of the Echidna security team
Beretta the echidna
Eager new recruit
Chomp the Ripjaw
A reliable companion
"What are you waiting for? We still have ten miles to go!" Remington yells at his subordinates as he continues his jog. "Why do we have to do this?" Beretta complains as he drags himself forward. A voice is then heard from the intercom as another young echidna girl who speaks over it. "Come on brother! I thought you wanted to be a cop." Berreta screams at Glock to be quiet before tripping and falling while Glock looks at it all from an operator rig. All while eating a Philly cheese sandwich. While watching the whole mess unfold.
Glock the echidna
The gal in the chair
After the group was finished with their march. Beretta collapses on an old metal crate as Remington and Chomp witness the sunset over the mountain where they witness a beautiful mountain sunset. "Hey Beretta, get over here." "Bite me boss." Beretta then collapses into the floor in frustration as Chomp licks the echidna's face. As night falls and the group sets up camp the trio sit around a campfire, the duo begins chatting while eating smores while drinking coffee. "Still drinking with sugar and cream recruit?" Remington jokes around as he drinks his coffee black. Blowing on it repeatedly to dispel the heat before drinking it.
At the same time Metal Knuckles was busy searching the depths of Lava reef in the orders of Sage. "According to father's files a giant super robot is buried under Angel island in the area where the Gizoid was stashed away. You are to retrieve it or destroy it." A group of Egg flappers then rendezvoused with Metal Knuckles to inform him that they found nothing. He beeped at them to keep searching and as they left Metal Knuckles continued his work until hitting bedrock and falling thru it. Slamming into the ground face first. After getting up the Metal series discovers that he is a strange bunker full of old devices. And as he looked around, noticing that the facility is not echidna in design. Instead having a dark, eerie, and technologically advanced feel to it. Finding a fossilized giant lizard across the machines. alongside a strange fang like device on top of a metallic blue altar with blue energy lines whose scans show an energy signature similar to the Chaos emeralds somehow. Walking towards it. Metal attempts to grab it. Only for a blue flash to consume the room as the fang flies away and the room collapses on itself. Rocketing upwards and into the sky by drilling up the mountain until it breaks out leaving a comet like flash that heads towards the echidna village where it crashes to the full view and shocked of Remington and Beretta. "What the hell just happened boss?!" "I don't know, but it landed on echidna village. Let's go!" "Yeah, about that..." Chomp bites Beretta's head and drags him towards the village, with Remington fastening his hat and going into hot pursuit
Metal Knuckles then bursts out of the mountain in an explosive as well, and goes flying off towards the village determined to get the artifact.
In the Echidna village another echidna was walking on the streets at night, returning from the local market with a bag full of random junk. Mostly a bunch of differing types of chips and cola. "Goddamn elder! I can't believe he isn't dead yet considering all the crap he eats. What the hell is limon flavored Lays and Sprecher puma kola?!" Then a telepathic voice reaches the male echidna. Himself a purple red colored young adult with short dreadlocks with a white scarf and blue cloth vest was forced to listen to the Elder's deep and grating voice. "Nails! Nails! Nails!" The Elder screamed at Nails through telepathy. "(sigh) What do you want Elder... If its the Nashville hot and blazin they didn't have it on stock. I bought the teriyaki and Asian zing instead." "It's not thaaaaat! I sense a strange power heading towards the village." "What kind of power?" The glowing blue meteor then smacks into Nails face. Striking with such force that he is lifted off the ground and knocked out cold as he falls into the ground with the artifact landing next to him. "Thaaaat oneee."
Things only get worse when Metal Knuckles lands on the village. Grabs the device and fires of a flamethrower from his left arm, starting a large fire as a distraction before taking off towards Red mountain. The EST still traveling to the village via a specialized variant of the NL-13: Sky fly. A dragonfly shaped ornithopter personnel transport made to travel treacherous high altitude legions. The EST-13 variant, which is exclusive for the security team. Armed with more powerful engines and wings, shielding, and a pair of medium blasters alongside searchlight and capture net options. These and similar craft named Huitzils are used by the echidna as their personal transports. "Shit! Turn around boss!" Berreta complains on the co-pilots seat while holding Chomp back while Remington states that he knows already as he performs an emergency 180 turn. Utilizing the wings to hover in midair as the thrusters spin around the Huitzil and then breaks out at full speed.
Apr 1 t.h. 8932, Coconut village, Southern island
Coconut village is a rare sight nowadays. A simple fishing village straight out of ancient media. Rows and rows of palm trees, white sands, and blue seas. The village itself is composed of ancient wood from Balbai trees. Large conifers whose wood is as strong as metal. As well as gears, pulleys, and water pipes that connect the houses and docks. Silver entered the mayors house. A large hut with many paintings and artistry. The psychic hedgehog was amazed at the village as he met an elderly koala with thick glasses met him. "Greetings young'un. I am the mayor of this town, Mayor." "How uncreative!" "Nice tsukkomi young'un." The mayor remarks while giving Silver a thumbs up. "Anyways, what you wanted to know. Essentially, you are now in the Sol dimension. A zone, in other words a pocket universe separate from your reality. The laws of physics as you know them do not work here. Which is why our planets share the same orbital radius in different angles but do not collide with each other." The mayor shows a holographic display with a star in the center and five planets all crisscrossing over one point in space. As well as a sixth one some distance away. "This is our world and the seat of the Sol kingdom. Pirate planet Starry sea. An oceanic world dotted with tens of thousands of islands of every imaginable biome and full of robot pirates." The last part catches Silver's attention as the mayor continues. "This is Prison planet No zone. A super max jail once ran by the Time Space Administration Bureau, until a disaster caused all of the prisoners to break out, kill all the guards and take over. The Bureau abandoned the place and covered the whole mess up. And now the planet is run by gangs and the law of the pistol. Here's Irregular planet Meridian Prime, where everyone is a super for some reason and there is a war between the Justice brigade and the Discriminators that has lasted for like 80 years now. There's Oni planet Lost hex. NEVER go there. And finally Alchemist planet Golden hive. This one is actually pretty nice. If you're not scared of giant bugs."
Silver points at the sixth world and asks what it is. The mayor clams up and then looks away attempting to dodge the question. Silver also looks away while twiddling his thumbs. "Anyways, where would Mephiles hide around here?" "I'm afraid I do not young'un." The mayor commented as he stroked his beard. "I'm afraid I do not know. Still, from what you told me, I would guess that he is hiding in Meridian Prime. There is also a famous info broker there. In the outer areas of Meridian city. I can't recall the name but I know she is there.
Silver and the mayor left the building where they met by a panicked Marine. "What is wrong little one?" "Mayor! Silver! We have pirate-" The piers in the distance explode and catch on fire leading the trio to head there. After getting there they find a war zone, with civilians fleeing robot pirates and DS-15: G-fakes rampaging all around. Primarily the low level types known as Gizpawns. Gray colored Gizoid knock-offs with little armor, to the point of having exposed arms and legs. A flat top with a third camera eye and a different chest armor that shows the biceps. Carrying swords and guns or simply burning things with their punches and kicks as their ports vent so much heat that it can burn opponents with a mere touch. "G-fakes..." Marine mutters with seething anger as one of them notices the trio. Only for Marine to trap it in a water bubble whose water pressure is increased to the point that it is crushed into a ball. Unfortunately, that just causes the other fakes to notice Marine and attack. Which leads to Silver striking back, using his telekinesis to quickly dispatch them all.
After the battle was done Silver and Marine began aiding the citizens. With Silver lifting up debris to get people out. And Marine's hydrokinesis being instrumental to quench the fires. As things calm down the mayor oversees the destruction and bemuses that the pirates once again wrecked everything. "Damn Whisker! Even after getting reduced to a head he still causes problems!" "Who?" Silver asks in confusion to which Marine complains. "It's that rotten egg shaped bucket o bolts!" "Well this is a problem." A man speaks out as he heads towards the group. A dark skinned man with spiky black hair with a cowboy attire. Wielding a massive sword that can be best described as a gunblade introduces himself to the group. "Name's Kai, And this big lug here is Ogi." Ogi is a large robot with the appearance of a mechanical white knight with red accents and holding a plasma rifle over his shoulders. "Sorry about the delay mayor. But it seems we are too late. Damn pirates!" Kai looks at the confused Silver and explains. "We're from ARKS." "Wait, ARKS? As in THE ARKS?" Silver asks with wonder in his eyes and Kai continues with. "We were originally exploring an old ruin inside a large asteroid. But we got teleported here. Now we're kinda stuck here and have no idea how we can get back to the fleet." An elf like girl in a white hood with rabbit ear accessories. With dark pink hair and eyes wielding a staff. "Kai, Ogi, I've finished with the patients." "Oh let me introduce you guys. This is Sarissa, a Newman mage, and the third member of our motley crew."Sarissa bows politely as she reports the situation and everyone exchanges information. Ogi begins the conversation with. "So Silver, you wish to reach the other worlds? Sadly the only teleporters stable enough for that are located in the capital." Marine adds. "True, I hear that unlike the outside there are no towers, orbital elevators, or even spaceports. Only a limited teleportation system." Silver admits the point as he looks around unable to locate the seven towers that dot Mobius. Reaching to the very heavens and visible all across the world. Serving as both orbital elevators and devices meant to restore worlds ravaged by the ancient magical girl wars.
"I see..." Silver remarks, his quills drooping in sadness. Marine wonders how they will get Silver there to which Silver remembers his psychic powers. Using them to lift himself and Marine kicking and screaming fly off, with the others waving goodbye. "Let me down mate!" Marine screams as the two fly into the air and across the sea. Causing Marine to puke all over herself. "I'll do anything to get out of thiiiiissss!"
Down in the ocean the Whisker pirates. Or what's left of them at least. Mainly Captain Whisker's head atop a barrel. A robot pirate version of Eggman with a large and torn up hat alongside Bobby. The new first mate and brother of Johnny who was wrecked long ago. A shark-like robot with a large torpedo shaped head, with a cylindrical chest with exhaust pipes on the side, and long arms and legs which is painted blue instead of green. And a skeleton crew of G-fakes to replace the previous crew. Both waiting for something. "The others should have come back by now Bobby." "I don't why are you so shocked captain. After all they are hired help. Literally." And then a stream of vomit lands on top of Captain Whisker. Everyone is reeling at what happened as the captain explodes in rage. The severed head hopping around left and right as he orders the crew to find the aggressor. With Bobby calculating what happened and punching the coordinates in the nearby computer. Leading to Whisker praising his new first mate. "Good job matey! Nice to know someone has brains in this crew. Set off to the capital! S.S. Salty spittoon move out!" One of the G-fakes took the steering wheel of the ship as the scene pans out to show a pirate galleon patched together with scrap metal and wood as it activates it repulsion system and turns around on a dime.
Sol castle, Water palace island
Silver lands in one of the local courtyards, passing thru the castle town which is a large acropolis full of white and blue buildings alongside massive architecture. All centered around a massive lake where Sol castle is located at its very center. Marine meanwhile collapses into the ground in a puddle of her own vomit. "Fuck you Silver..." Even losing her Australian accent, replacing it with a Gormotti accent. Which is Welsh. The psychic hedgehog tries to help Marine out and placed her in a nearby bench while he went about his business before realizing. "So, where is the teleporter?" "Fuck you Silver..." "I'll get something for the nausea." Silver sheepishly remarked as he left.
At the same time the S.S. Salty spittoon was heading towards Water palace. With Bobby leading the charge alongside a wing composed of a wing of G-fakers with a pair of higher end versions of them called the Gizleets. More advanced and better armored blue variant with properly armored arms and legs with smaller but more numerous heat sinks alongside its angled plating. All of them riding on customized speedboats with the thrusters on the sides, with hard-points in the back. All packing weapons and with Ride of the Valkyries being played from a pirate in the back with an electric guitar.
Silver came back with medicine for Marine. Who at this point had recovered enough to use her Australian accent. All the while Silver remains apologetic as the two are making arrangements to let Silver warp to Meridian. "So we'll be splitting up here huh?" "Pretty much Silver. I need to go back to Coconut island to protect it from pirates. Especially since Blaze hasn't come back yet. Anyways, let's go. The starpost system is located in the old town square." As the two headed towards said square. Even more explosions rocked the islands coastline. Marines points at the chaos and went there alongside a resigned Silver who followed via hovering.
The docks in Water palace were suffering a similar fate to the ones at Coconut island. Even with the aid of Vikings. Massive white furred and heavily armored polar bears wielding Heavy Wispons, which are chain-guns with a large single barrel powered by three wispons instead of one. are being taken down by Bobby and the more advanced G-fakers. With Bobby dead-lifting one of them and tossing the unconscious bear face down off a bridge. Causing him to sink and drown. Silver and Marine reach the battlefield and once again fight off the G-fakers with ease. Silver crushes robots and chucks them off into the distance, while Marine uses her water to create razor sharp whips that dismember them. Cutting heads and dismembering limbs left and right. While the hanger ranked robots gave them more trouble overwhelming Marine until she found a fountain. Leapt over it and summoned a geyser to take down her opponent. Launching it towards the Gizleet. Crushing it under a torrent of water. While the other Gizleet was met by Silver, who literally walked over it. Slamming the robot into the ground over and over before walking over the metallic corpse.
A flash of blue then speeds past and blitzes the heroic duo. Finishing it off with a double clothesline that leaves Silver and Marine on the ground. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! So you're the ones who wrecked our hired help?" The raccoon gets up and notices the pirate robot asking. "Johnny? You're alive? But how? And why did you paint yourself blue?!" Bobby aims at the girl and fires off his arm vulcans which are deflected by Silver who used a psychic shield to deflect the shots. "My name is Bobby! You killed my brother! Now prepare to die! Silver and Marine try to take down Bobby who simply out-speeds the duo and counterattacking to the point where they can't fight back. Until Blaze and Lancer appears. The former using her flames to corner Bobby who attempts to shoot down Blaze who is in the air. Only to be intercepted by Lancer wielding double V-Raisers before splitting into five clones using the five side: clones to overwhelm Bobby. Using the blade modes to slash and pierce Bobby. Before using the five side: combined, heading off on different locations. Binding the pirate with a cage of light before striking.
"Code break: Endless possibilities! Five! Five! Finale!"
Spearing Bobby and creating a massive explosion seemingly killing him off, before everyone realizes that he detaches his head and flies off in retreat. "I'll get you next time losers!"
As the planets sol, a series of relative small stars that illuminates the sol dimension comes up from the horizon. The rescue crews are dealing with the damage. With Marine and Lancer aiding in the clean up while Silver and Blaze heading to the star post. "So this is what happened to the Duchess.. (sigh) That was really reckless of you Silver. Still, I guess that's why you're the captain of the guard." Beaming with pride Silver remarks "Soleanna really has become a home for me." Blaze notices the remark asking. "You weren't born there? Considering how close you are with Elise I half expected that you were part of some minor nobility." "Don't remind me Blaze. The council keeps trying to push a barony on me." Blaze simply laughs it off as she heads forward, leaving Silver behind. The hedgehog looked down at the ground and noted. "Yeah, home... After all, it's not like I have a reason to go back."
Everyone saw off Silver as the starpost which here is more of a number of circular teleporters that lead to different areas and worlds. And noting one of them that was dismantled, with concrete being poured on top of it. As energy poured across Silver and reality tears in a precise manner. Teleporting him away into another world. After that Marine comments. "Well, I hope he dies." Leaving the others to glare at the raccoon. With Lancer bonking her head.
Apr 18 t.h. 8932, Inside Castle Blade, Planet TK-42
"So?" Monika questions as her senpai fiddles on a new device. A large two handed claymore weapon with a triangular spatula shaped blade. Seemingly absorbed in the task without any emotion. Something that annoys Monika as she looks on. "How long?" Ignoring the situation Kagemusha continues to work as Monika slams her hands in the nearby table screaming at her to snap out it. "What is your problem?! How long are you going to whine and hide?" Kagemusha simply remains quiet towards Monika's nagging. That is when Lepard breaks into the room much to the annoyance of the other two until. "Everyone! Ahiru and Fakir have located Drosselmyer!" Something that shocks Monika who demands answers. "It seems he was hiding out in a place called Gold Crown castle." A shocked Monika remembers that its the place where Mytho and Rue were living in according to Ahiru. And orders an immediate transfer. Kagemusha finishes the sword noting. "Have fun with that." Which causes Monika to finally lose her patience as she drags her senpai off who is still holding the sword. Knocking down the chair in the process. Once the duo leaves Lepard smiles as Ashtamangala appears behind him. "So? Have the coordinates been set?" "Yes, both of them will be transported to the game world and sealed there." "That isn't what we agreed on old ma-" Lepard couldn't finish his sentence as he is cut Julienning the bug into slices before burning them to ash. "Incestuous freak." And then proceeds to trash everything in the room. "And now Ronin-Oh is finished. My master will be pleased." Before teleporting away into the darkness."
Monika continues dragging Kagemusha thru the base and to the starpost which is being activated while nagging Kagemusha all the way. "I've had enough of your hikkikomori crap! You haven't gone out of room in months!" "So what else is new?" This just pisses Monika off even and she tosses Kagemusha into the portal before she jumps in as well.
The two end up in what seems to be a high school classroom which confuses Monika. "Where are we?" "Hell." Kagemusha comments as Monika notices that she is a familiar school uniform. Sporting a gray blazer with a white undershirt and a ribbon, white a short blue skirt and black knee high stockings. Terrified, Monika panics. "No! Not here!" Clutching her arms in terror while Kagemusha tries to calm her down. That is when someone else enters the room. A young pink haired girl with a ribbon on top and wearing the same uniform, only with white socks. "Oh you're back Monika? And is that the new member you were talking about?" The girl crouches down and extends her hand while introducing herself. "I'm Sayori, nice to meet you!" Monika then collapses in a panic attack freaking out Sayori. "Senpai? Senpai! Senpai!" "Sayori is it? We need to get her to the nurses office now!" Sayori agrees with Kagemusha as they lift her up and head there.
All the while a mysterious girl with long black hair watches on. Grinning a wicked grin as she witnesses the panicking Sayori. "I see that it's time for revenge." She then flips her hair and leaves, showing off a strange lizard shaped earring with a purple gem hanging from it.
To be continued
The scene with Metal Sonic and the Mellatix is very much meant to be a modified adaptation of Knuckles Chaotix. Hopefully I can finally introduce the Chaotix whom I wanted to introduce since season 1. It's also there to introduce rings to the verse.
Due to the retcons caused at the end of season 1, the Chaos emeralds have always been around originally sealed away in cyberspace. And Sonic's history more or less follows the games in the rebooted Third history timeline. Events like the Great war, the scouring of Earth, and the construction of towers still happened. Even if they are deactivated due to the temporal paradox that both removed the Puella Magi immortality and Kagemusha remaining alive and possessing Madoka and Homura's genetics even when the Zeroth project was vastly different here.
Rachel and Jojo's last names are a homage to John Belushi due to Rachel's actress work as a writer on Saturday night live. The Belushi family all come from the Northern human alliance. A number of northeastern states that alongside Canada survive the scouring via mass exodus.
The Algol galaxy is based of both the original Phantasy star series and online. And is the settled name of GN z11, the farthest observable galaxy of the current era.
The snacks ordered by the Elder are real. Limon seasoned Lays is a potato ship with lime seasoning. Sprechers is an incredibly sweet Wisconsin based drink. The Nashville hot and blazin Carolina reaper and teriyaki and Asian zing are two types of buffalo wings. One spicy and the other one is a not very Asian savory dip.
Huitzil's are inspired by the ornithopthers from Dune as I wanted an unique aesthetic and technology tree from echidna's and their relative tribes. Such as the Tasmanian islanders where Trash and Maw came from and the Dingo settlements in Sandopoils. The Sky fly's insectoid design is an homage to the illustrations from the original novel.
Sareena, Kai, and Ogi all come from Phantasy star Zero. A game that serves as the origin point of the PSO 2 series. And their cameo is not only meant to introduce ARKS to the setting. But show that they will become a major faction going forward.
