We start our story right after Sonic Generations. We see two shadowy figures, upon closer examination, they appears to be Eggmans, or Eggmen? The two Eggmen have found themselves stuck in a white void, better known as Whitespace, after their latest adventure ending with Sonic destroying the Time-Eater, their journey for any escape was exhausting, it had felt like they had been there for an eternity and a few hours, the sense of time bearing no meaning, their red coats and other items on them being the only real sense of color they had. After what seemed like a few days, the Eggmen were able to find a portal, kind of like the boss gates Sonic used to collect the Chaos Emeralds. The gate stood tall, looking like a collage of multiple giant gears surrounding a portal and being adorned with the markings of a traditional clock.
Modern Eggman peered at the boss gate and said "This seems to be some kind of alternate series of events, severed from our current timeline."
Classic Eggman replied with a hint of doubt "There's a reason it's been cut off, it's better if we don't find out."
Modern Eggman responded a bit angrily "Of course, but it's our only chance to leave this wretched void."
Hopeful to escape, the Eggmen entered the portal. On the other side, there was a city, ruined by blazes of fire and flames. Modern Eggman pulled out a device and tracked the energies in the area, moving his hand around to detect any danger.
Classic Eggman quickly tried to grab the machine out of Modern Eggman's hands, cautiously saying "Turn that thing off, it's beeping is going to attract whatever did all of this here!"
Modern Eggman retorted "With this I'll be able to track it, and possibly replicate it's energy signal, now let your future self do what he needs to do."
As Modern Eggman tracked the energy signatures, he detected something… unusual, it was two energy signatures, both indecipherable, almost destroying the gadget in his hand.
The Eggmen realized the potential of this power, with Modern Eggman saying "With this power, we could rule the world and more, this has the potential to all of time and space!"
Classic Eggman responded "These energy signatures are certainly powerful, but they appear to have hundreds of layers of encryption. If we truly want to use them, we'll have to use our combined intelligence to decrypt them."
The two Eggmen got to work, using multiple cyphers and methods of decoding to be able to understand the unfamiliar energies. After multiple hours of deciphering and hiding from danger, the two Eggmen managed to decode and replicate the energy signatures.
Modern Eggman chortled "Let's see what a taste of this power entails."
As Modern Eggman activated the replicated energies, it made a few shockwaves, rippling time, this had created some portals, which were able to send the Eggmen back to their time periods. Modern Eggman, now just Eggman due to his classic self going to his own time, landed back in Green Hill.
Eggman picked himself back up and spoke nonchalantly, almost as if he didn't experience what he just did. "Well, now that that's over with, I need to experiment with these energy signatures more."
Eggman rushed to his lab, and quickly started toying with the energies. Eggman managed to contain the energies, one a purple-indigo and the other a bright orange with red accents. Through the experiments, it was revealed that the energies would draw to each other, and were reactive to powerful stones such as the Chaos Emeralds. The orange energy had the abilities of teleportation and pyrokinesis, while the indigo one could actively control rocks and stones and could levitate objects.
Cut to present day, a decade after the events of Generations. Sonic is twenty-six now, his life full of adventure, whether it be saving a few flickies or taking down universal threats. Sonic was resting after his latest misadventure, his dark blue quills standing out in the green grass and tan tree trunk. Tails saw Sonic in the distance and ran towards him, as Tails approached, he said
"Sonic, Eggman has kidnapped many townsfolk, and is holding them captive in Chemical Plant! Shadow and Silver are trying to break in, but we're going to need more manpower."
Sonic quickly stood up, and said
"Say no more, Tails, I was getting tired of all this relaxing anyway."
As quick as Sonic stood up, he was gone, a blue streak that quickly dissipated being left behind.
At Chemical Plant, Shadow was taking down badniks as Silver and Tails, now in the Cyclone's walker form, tried to find a way in. Sonic arrived soon after.
"Hey Shadow, long time no see!"
Shadow looked back, he responded
"Sonic, its nice of you to show up, even though it would've been useful to have you here earlier."
"Better late than never, you know."
Sonic had replied.
Silver interrupted.
"Sonic, do you think you can find a way into the Plant?"
Sonic answered.
"Think? I know I can!"
Sonic circled the base a few times in a few seconds.
"Ok, so there's an opening that the Badniks are coming out of on the west side and a few parts that could be easily torn apart using that telekinesis of yours on north and east sides, like that one over there."
Sonic then pointed to a metal door, kind of looking like a garage door, not too far from where the four were standing. Silver yanked off the door, and the group entered the base. Sonic formed a plan.
"Shadow, look for and free the hostages, Silver, Tails, see what kinds of plans you can find out about, I'll keep Eggman and whatever his new machine is busy."
The four split up, eager to defeat the doctor. In the lab, Tails and Silver were checking Eggman's files for any plans he had. Tails was hacking the encrypted folders, while Silver looked at one of the monitors, seeing Shadow take down multiple Motobugs at the same time and then freeing the hostages, including Jewel the Beetle on the security cameras. Silver spoke.
"Good to see Shadow isn't having any problems."
Tails figured out the password to the encrypted folders, he exclaimed
"Finally, now let's see what Eggman has planned."
Multiple files appeared on a list, Tails analyzed each one, then stopped at one of them, he said in a questioning tone
"Mysterious energy signals? This seems like another one of those unknown powers Eggman would try and manipulate, only for it to blow up in his face. We should get it out of here before then."
Tails pressed the activate button, and out came the indigo and orange energies, encased in two glass tubes. The indigo energy scanned Shadow from the camera, taking his form with a few jagged, crystal-like alterations, and being made out of an indigo crystal with cyan accents, and the orange energy scanned Jewel, copying her design with a few differences that looked like they belonged to Tikal the Echidna, and being made out of an orange limestone with red accents.
As this was happening, a warning flashed on screen, stating
"Warning: premature activation, failsafe deployed"
A device was then placed on the two creatures' left wrists. The creatures stepped out. The indigo one spoke in a grainy voice, his dark grey scleras shining in the lab.
"Who are you?"
Before Tails or Silver could respond, the indigo one continued.
"No wait, I know you, you're Tails, that annoying sidekick to that monster Sonic."
He then pointed at Silver.
"And you're Silver, the coward who's nothing without his telekinesis. Hey, Periwinkle, get a load of these guys!"
The orange one, Periwinkle, or Peri for short, turned to the indigo one, her movements more natural, and her periwinkle scleras glistening, she spoke, her voice smooth and mellifluous.
"Glacier, we can't let these guys off the hook, they're always destroying the lab."
Glacier punched his palm, and replied.
"Agreed."
Periwinkle started to throw fire at Silver, while Glacier lunged at Tails. Tails used the Cyclone's Volkan Cannon and homing missiles to damage Glacier, however, the bullets bounced off the quartz and diamond body, not even leaving a scratch. The missiles did cause some fractures and shatters, but Glacier just walked up to the pieces of his body and forced them back on. Glacier started punching at the Cyclone, leaving multiple dents but not too much damage. Meanwhile, Periwinkle was throwing fireballs at Silver, all of them being thrown back at her. After a while, she cried out.
"Enough!"
Periwinkle caught herself on fire, and started slowly teleporting towards Silver. Right before Periwinkle could land a punch or a kick, she was held in place by Silver's telekinesis. Glacier looked back. Tails's Cyclone started crumpling together like paper, causing Tails to jump out of the Cyclone before he was crushed with it. Glacier spoke.
"My control over inferior minerals and my levitation can combine to something similar to telekinesis… So I can do that too!"
The metal ball of what once was the Cyclone flew towards Silver, hitting him and throwing him across the lab. Glacier went in for the kill with Tails. Tails was crawling backwards to try and escape, then, he hit a wall. Tails braced himself for his final moments, but before Glacier landed the hit, he stopped. Glacier muttered towards Tails.
"Dead men tell no tales, Tails."
Glacier and Periwinkle left, leaving Tails alive on the floor. Tails ran towards the rubble and helped a beaten up Silver out. Silver said, in a very injured and in pain manner,
"What kind of one liner is that?!"
Over at where Shadow was, he had evacuated the hostages and was looking to see if anyone was left behind, when he encountered Glacier and Periwinkle. Periwinkle commented.
"Another intruder, hopefully this one will be more fun than the last two."
Shadow ran up to Glacier and gave a punch right in the face, throwing him a small distance and leaving a scratch on his right cheek. Periwinkle acted immediately upon this and tried to give Shadow an uppercut, but was stopped by a chaos spear heading her way. It was a losing battle, but Shadow would fight valiantly.
During this, Sonic had already dealt with the Eggman mech and went to check on Silver and Tails, only to see the wreckage,Tails with his Cyclone, and a slightly beat up Silver. Sonic questioned.
"What happened here?!"
Silver replied.
"Some new Eggman minions, an indigo one named Glacier, and an orange one named Periwinkle, they took us down. I think they're going after Shadow next."
Sonic rushed to where Shadow was, Shadow was winning, but the two were starting to overwhelm him. Sonic rushed in and unleashed a powerful homing attack on Periwinkle from behind, to which she retaliated by punching him with a hand she caught ablaze. With Sonic, the fight only got more chaotic, the blue blur speeding around and fighting so fast that all that could be seen was the blue streak. Glacier started speaking while fighting.
"Every second I see you fighting, the more I know about your strategies and fighting styles… Now!"
Glacier launched Sonic up, then, Periwinkle teleported upwards and threw Sonic forward, and finally, Glacier was teleported to Sonic's location and slammed him downwards. Periwinkle started throwing fireballs and teleporting them to hit Sonic and Shadow from different directions along with teleporting back anything they throw. Sonic was able to land a few hits and punched the device on Glacier's left wrist, destroying it. As soon as this happened, Glacier froze up, almost as if he saw unspeakable horrors before his eyes. Shadow was done fighting, he took advantage of Glacier's stillness, and started beating Glacier with everything he had, he threw a few punches, a few kicks, a chaos blast, and finally took off his inhibitor rings, used chaos control to teleport above Glacier, and was ready to deal the finishing blow, a deadly stomp infused with chaos energy. Periwinkle saw what Shadow was about to do, and she knew she had to act, she didn't have enough energy to teleport Glacier out of the way, but she did have enough energy to do something else. In the final moments before the impact of the stomp, Periwinkle swapped places with Glacier, taking the hit for him. The stomp was destructive, shattering Periwinkle into pieces. Shadow spoke.
"Pathetic. Come on Sonic, lets get the others and leave."
As the group left, Glacier gained consciousness once more, he murmured to himself.
"It was all a lie."
He looked at the device on his wrist, now broken.
"This device, it implanted fake memories in me."
He saw the pieces of Periwinkle.
"Peri, no!.."
Glacier picked up the piece that was glowing, and put it on his chest like a pin.
"The doctor and Sonic will pay dearly for what they've done to me, to us, but first, sis, I'm going to put you back together. I remember the doctor spoke about powerful jewels, ones that turned thoughts into power, that's how I'll put you back together."…
