Prompt:
After a powerful Chaos Control ripples both time and space, Sonic and Shadow are separated as one is sent to an abominable future and the other is sent to the correct future.
The split occurs after Eggman discovers a parallel loophole after trying to break into the future to corrupt that world instead of the past.
When all else fails… Shadow and Sonic used the Chaos Emeralds to necessarily 'sow back time' into place.
However, that means that neither one knows which timeline is going to be sowed up and which one will happen…
Nor which timeline they've fallen into…
For the process to be complete, they must both use Chaos to send 'swipes' of chaos power into the ripples of time. If they don't do this together, then the two timelines will merge, and who knows what may befall them then!
Eggman is still in the abominable future… so Sonic figures, if he finds Eggman, he'll know which timeline he's sowing up from the other side, and which side Shadow landed on.
Buuuuutt… he wasn't thinking that at the current… moment… hehe…
"Whaaa-ahh-ahh!" spiraling through the air, our heroic blue hero crashed violently to the earth, feeling his whole spine shot up with pain the face-plant.
"…uh." With barely any resistance, Sonic let his body weight collapse to this odd, new timeline's earth. He wiggled his head out of the soft ground and huffed out the dirt, wiping his face off before getting up and looking for the emerald. "Huh?" he glanced at his hands, before looking up and getting hit again in the face by the falling emerald.
"Ahhh…" with a deep, mingled-emotion of groans, Sonic clutched his face and then went to grab the emerald.
"Really…" Sonic complained, walking leisurely over to the emerald, "Just not my day in this dimension…" he went to bend down and grab it but another creature burst from bush. "Woah!" Sonic watched as a turquoise streak gripped the emerald and tumbled, waving it up in the air.
"Ah, another hedgehog?" Sonic watched as the little boy laughed and tossed the emerald around, "I got it! I got it!~" he sang, jumping from one foot to another as he taunted Sonic. "Bet'cha can't catch me this time!" he stuck out his tongue and hid the emerald behind his back, racing away.
"Wh-wha..? This time?" Sonic raised an eyebrow, but then quickly took off after the kid. "Hey! Kid! That's mine!"
"Not anymore!" the little boy mocked.
After chasing the kid around, having the child laugh and keep up pretty well with his own speed, Sonic started to enjoy himself.
He had no idea why, he should be upset! But for some reason… this kid was growing on him.
The child's smile made him want to protect the kid, and he didn't know why.
"You know, for someone I've never met before, you seem awfully familiar." He finally stopped, helping the kid from almost sliding off a hill-face and picked him up by his back quills. Gently, he held him in place by his face, "But I really need that emerald back, kiddo. What's your name?"
"Huh?" The boy tilted his head, blinking a bit. "What do you mean? You named me, dummy!"
"…D-dummy?" Sonic flinched back, before a woman's voice was heard calling the child.
"Darling?~ It's time to come home! Dinner's ready!"
"Ah! Momma's calling." The boy looked behind him, still holding the emerald with a death grip. "Let's play after we eat. Right, D-" he was about to say something before someone screamed.
"Oh no!" he wiggled out of Sonic's embrace, "Mama!" he raced towards her, as Sonic also joined him, wondering what was going on.
Like Sonic assumed, Eggman was in this universe, but to his surprise, this Eggman was much older, having a oxygen tank like an elephants curved tusks around his head.
He was holding a beautiful woman in his robot's clutches, glaring and shaking a finger in her face.
"You should know by now, my hearing aids only amplifying your terrible-"
She sucked in a huge breath of air, then screamed and kicked her legs as he pulled her away from his control panel on the robots head. "No respect for your elders!" he cried out, shaking his fists as a tear was shed for the drumming in his ears…
Sonic smirked, "I see it." He could see a rip in the sky, the pinkish and green hue of the jagged torn space and time gave him hope.
He had to 'sow it up', so to speak. But first, to save this kid's mom!
"Eggman! You never change!"
Eggman turned around, adjusting his hearing aids before looking sheepishly white when he saw how young Sonic looked.
"GREAT CHAOS ROCKS OF PLENTY! You look 15!"
"That's because I never grow old, doc!" Sonic spun into the robot, having fun and messing around as the little boy caught his mother, helping her down as she stared in amazement at the interdimensional Sonic.
After tossing Eggman around, clearly not being used to such attacks in his old age, he quickly coughed and retreated, saying, "Lousy! It's not fair! Youthful mongruls!"
"Hedgehog!" Sonic scarastically cried back. "Old man." He shook his head, but then shrugged, "Ah well. Guess it's a miracle he hasn't gone senile by now. That certainly wasn't the Eggman I'm looking for though… hmm?" he turned to see the woman still staring at him, holding her child as he seemed afraid.
"Isn't that Daddy?" The boy looked curiously up to his mother.
Sonic leaned back, a sweat drop dripping the side of his forehead.
Everything went quiet then… except the wind.
The woman shook herself free of her shock, before bending down the child. "Go straight home. Just tell your father… tell him… I'm a bit busy. I'll be back soon."
"But-"
"Don't tell him about the blue hedgehog, okay? I'll tell him later." She kissed his forehead, then lovingly smacked his back side. "Now, off to the table with you! You'll make me feel bad if your father and brothers eat all the meat."
He gasped, worried about that too and dashed off towards the forest, "And avoid the spikes!" she cried out, "They're old and rusty, but those old traps are still present!"
"I know, mom!" the boy cried out, not taking her very seriously as she sighed and then turned back to Sonic.
"…You said you were 15?"
"He said… uh," he shook his head, not wanting to think too hard on that. "Who are… no, better yet, don't tell me." He shook his hands out, deciding it best not to ask her name. "I just need to fix that." He pointed up to the sky, showing her the ripple. "If you know me, then you probably know what I do for a living."
She froze a moment more, before laughing and covering her mouth, unable to control herself.
She sighed and pointed up, sweatdropping. "I'm well aware of your 'hobbies' I assure you." She grinned and walked over to him, bending down a bit to his height, and placing a hand on his head.
"My… I knew you were cute, but I never imagined I would forget how you looked back then… you're even more handsome to me now, knowing what you're like all grown up." She mused, but he stepped back, ducking his head and looking awkwardly shy.
"N.. Not to be rude or nothin'… ehem." He rubbed the back of his head, putting on his best smile, before coughing into his hand.
He then took the role he usually took with new women, "But I just need to know you'll all be safe while I go take care of some business." He winked and charmed his way away, but as soon as he turned to race off…
"AWWW~ You're still so charming! I can't believe I forgot this much about you!" She reached out and grabbed him, pulling him up and off the ground, causing him to struggle as she loved on him.
"H-hey! I'm not a puppy here, lady!" he squirmed, looking very uncomfortable as she nestled her head against his.
"Ohh~ I could just eat you up!"
"Ehh…" his face looked mortified before she finally put him down.
"…" his face was frozen a second.
"Okay, okay. I'll let you go now, hehe~" she covered her mouth again, "Just remember, whatever you're doing, be safe about it, alright? Don't want you messing up your good future and life here now." She closed her eyes and gave him a radiant, calm smile.
He uttered something he wished he hadn't.
"….Amy..?"
Her eyes shot open.
She leaned back up and looked a little worried, placing a hand over her heart and the other keeping it close to her mouth.
He didn't turn around.
He honestly couldn't move.
"…Your voice… it's not hers." He admitted that, trying to psych himself out of it.
She remained silent, her smile turning to a frown and her eyebrows retracting away as if concerned for him…
"…But your arms… your fur… even your touch feels somewhat similar… but different." He looked at his arms and his ruffled quills. "…You've changed." He lowered his arms and continued to not face her directly.
With a suddenly knowing smile, her eyes sparkled at what she came to see he was really saying. "… No one stays 12 forever." She chimed softly.
"…No?"
"No." she lightly breathed out, and stepped a little away from him, placing her hands out in front of her. "But… the future is exciting. It's full of twists… and sometimes… even doubts."
His fingers flexed out, and he slowly turned his head around to her.
"Am I… Are you a twist?" he looked up at her.
She continued to smile.
"You tell me."
The rip suddenly grew wider, causing the two to look up and be within the glow of the pinkish green.
"Ah!"
"It's not suppose to do that!"
Sonic gritted his teeth, seeing a line of white chaos strip the side. "Shadow! He's found it on his end too! I have to help him patch it up!" He pulled out his emerald, and jumped up. "Chaos Control!"
After a few minutes of jumping and trying to sow the torn skyline, the rip only increased as if someone was slowly tearing paper, wider and over a greater distance, Sonic kept running and swishing his hand back and forth.
"It's no good!" he sweatdropped, realizing what this could mean. "Every time we get somewhere… someone keeps tearing it further in half!"
Suddenly, like a storm from far in the distance, a roar of wind clashed against Sonic. This made him duck his head and close his eyes, feeling the cool of it brush against his agitated teeth before seeing a tall, well-built and fully-grown man with two emeralds in his hands start mimicking the actions he was once doing.
"Get going!" it was deep, confident, and for some reason… comforted Sonic.
He stopped and gave the old geezer a glare, "Amy!? You really didn't think that through, did you?"
He didn't respond, only laughed.
"You're definitely 15, alright." He teased, "Now get going. Dinner's getting cold!"
"Hmph. I'm not finished with you yet!" Sonic teased, before jumping up and using Chaos Control to track the tip of the rip through space and time. He cornered Eggman, the one from his time, and finally was able to patch things up with the help of Shadow and his future self.
When getting back, he avoided Amy like the plague. Something about it all didn't feel right. He knew it wasn't fair to Amy, but he refused to think about the future he took a glimpse at.
He wondered one night, relaxing under a tree beneath thousands of stars…
What did his future self see in her?
True, he had thought she was a looker… until he realized she was Amy!
True, the kid wasn't half bad… till he realized what the kid could be!
It urked him to no end.
The biggest thing that haunted him…
Was that future him's laugh…
"You're definitely 15, alright!"
"What is that supposed to mean!?" He angrily fidgeted, kicking his feet up and turning from having his head leaning against the tree.
"There's nothing wrong with being 15… I just don't get it. What does he see that I don't? It's Amy Rose! For crying out loud, she's been hounding my back since I was 11." He rubbed his head, before taking a second to truly look passed it all.
He leaned his head back down and took a deep breath, looking up at the stars.
It was the first time Sonic really contemplating about Amy. What he liked and didn't like her about. The good and the not so good… but still good about her.
He then took a critical eye to himself, his flaws, and what Amy must like and dislike about his personality and ways of life…
She had called it a 'hobby' instead of a lifestyle.
He wondered if his lifestyle was carefree, whereas saving the world was just an added bonus to life's already great adventures.
Then he was cut off short in his thoughts-
"Sonic?" a soft voice, different, full of worry.
He opened his eyes to see Amy peeking around the tree, in her usual 12-year-old dress with the red and white outline at the brim of it.
"…Why have you been ignoring me?" she seemed skittish, which was new to him, as he leaned up and blinked his annoyed looking eyes.
She once again gripped the tree and seemed hesitant. "Are you mad at me?" he had never been before… so why now?
He kept his contempt in his eyes, though he didn't realize that's how it looked, and turned his head away. Never letting her slip from his eye sight though, he spoke a little more resounding sentences than usual…
"If you were my wife… what kinda life would you give me?"
The entire scene shifted.
Amy's eyes bounced and shook in utter shock.
He waited for her to get a grip as she shook her head and covered her face, blushing wildly and plotting how to answer him.
He tsk'd at how long it was taking and folded his arms, looking away.
"I… I would want to give you a life you'd enjoy, Sonic~" she placed her hands on the sides of her cheeks, smiling as though it might hurt for her cheeks to do so. "I'd want you to be happy, and have everything you've always deserved and more in life!" she squee'd, before placing her hands together and on the side of her, swaying her body as if daydreaming about it.
He looked at the ground, a tight line on his muzzle as he tapped his foot a bit, holding his head upright from the ground as he continued to lay down.
"…A well deserving life… huh…"
"Emhmm, emhmm!" she nodded, excitedly. A little too enthusiastically for Sonic's taste…
He rose an eyebrow to her, looking up at her with a bit more favorability in them.
"… You'd cook dinners for me?"
"Oh! Every day!" she exclaimed.
"…You'd call me handsome?"
"And think it! Every morning, noon, and night~" she swooned.
"… What would I do for you?"
She suddenly was shaken, her eyes opened from their daydream and she looked around herself, as if just having come back to earth from the moon.
"You… do for… me?"
"…What? You've never thought about it before?"
She was suddenly taken aback, and slowly… with a bit of sheepish charm, pressed her pointer fingers together and grew embarrassed.
"Well, I… I um…" she bent herself, as if losing her usual spark.
Now this… fascinated Sonic…
'What a turn of cards…' he smirked in his mind's eye, and got up, not allowing her to lean his sights.
"Amy?"
She nervously giggled, as if trying to hide how inept she was at answering that.
"I-I guess… you'd have to tell me that." She blushed harder this time, unaware there was something in her life she hadn't planned for. "I mean… I'd always hoped you treat me well. Love me and be happy to have me beside you b-but.." she once again turned around, hiding herself from him. "I guess… I've always just thought about what I'd do for you… and never… really um… considered what you could do for me except marrying me…"
"…Marriage means I'd love you… you know that, right?" he was slightly mocking her on this, and she puffed up her cheeks at hearing him calling her foolish.
"I-I know that!" she burst around, throwing a tantrum. "Sonic The Hedgehog! The one thing you could do for me in my life is love me enough to never leave me, alright!? Fair enough!"
"….Never."
He smiled, a tender look in his eyes.
"A-ah… huh?" She didn't understand what he meant by that.
She came from 9 to a 2 in seconds flat, her emotions suddenly drained at his words.
"… Nothing could be fair." He muttered, mostly to himself, as his eyes drooped a bit as he took his eyes off of her.
"… W… what do you mean." She didn't look heartbroken now, she looked more like she desperately wanted to understand.
Her arms fell to her sides and she waited patiently as he seemed lost in his own thoughts..
Then, unexpectantly, he smiled and rose up, taking on his usual demeanor.
"I mean… Not all is fair… Some days… you should ask more of me." He put his hands on his hips, finally closing his eyes and making a decision. "But I would probably have skedaddled if you pushed too much expectation on me. So fine. I get it. I'll accept that that's what you want and nothing more."
She was so confused. What exactly was he talking about? Or saying?
To her, it sounded like this had already happened…
He rose his head up and gave her a familiar look that she knew all too well.
"Sorry for being a stick in the mud, Amy. I had a lot on my mind. Can I take you home?" he tilted his head with a beautiful smile.
It made her heart race, not sure why he was acting so strangely and saying such odd things. But she nodded and let him pick her up and take her home.
She held onto him… feeling for the first time that his touch was different… his grip around her was not just for safety this time… She could feel he was truly holding her… And for the first time, she didn't feel the need to overact or play it up with him.
Instead… she let her head rest on his shoulder and smiled as she felt his chin rest slightly upon her cheek as dipped down to run faster, creating more of an air tunnel to move swifter through.
She could have sworn he took a long way to her home. She could have sworn he waited an extra couple of seconds to tell her goodnight before dashing off like he usually did. And she could have sworn the sky never looked so beautifully woven together with stars before…
(I kinda wrote this Sonic as the Classic OVA's Sonic all grown up. Hope you enjoyed it ^^;)
