This file contains a short synopsis of the Blood and Metal tale written by David Gonterman for use while creating a comic book rendition of it. Only the bare bones are included, feel free to add content to suit the taste of your audience.
Because of unknown events that will occur in Archie's Sonic #50, I had to redo the story. I used a piece from the Fleetway Sonic comic for inspiration. As before, it is divided into an Alpha and Omega section, for the quaterly specials, and a three-part middle for the regular comic; five parts in all. It's a bit long for STH readers, but by using the specials to put it all out in three months.
The official version can be viewed from the World Wide Web. You can find the Blood and Metal World Wide Web Page at http://users.aol.com/dgonterman.
The scene goes directly into that month's Sonic Comic, where Davey crash-lands at the hedgehog's feet at the last page. Preferably, in Robotroplis, in the middle of all hell breaking loose.
After arriving in Knothole and delivering the message, Davey sits by the Ring Lake, pondering what to do with himself now that he's stuck on Mobius for a while. A ring appears as he's pondering this. When he reaches for that ring, the ring turns him into a fox, allowing him to pass as a Mobian.
At the last page, Robotnik was busy studying clips on this new arrival, and finds out that, "He looks like me for a reason."
Later, while a gloating Davey was doing this, Robotnik shows up, dropping the bombshell that he's Davey's father. At first, Davey laughs at him. "You're not Darth Vadar and I'm NOT Luke, mister!!" But during the struggle between them, Davey trips a lock keyed to Robotnik's DNA, proving that David Kintobor is Robotnik's son.
Sonic hi-tails it out of there as David Kintobor sends the building crashing all around himself and Robotnik.
They find a sobbing Davey lying face down under a willow tree along the way. At first he doesn't respond; they think he's dead, but they find him still alive, but very distraught. They carry him back to Knothole.
Davey stays at his hut, crying under the covers. There Uncle Chuck tells Nicole to play back Robotnik's origin:
"Your father, Dr. Julian David Kintobor, and his wife, your mother, split up in your world. He
was crushed, broken hearted, and felt sorry for his young son--you, David Jim Kintobor. He
found the Void . . . and Mobius. He served as a bright, thin, red-headed Second Guard in the
Great War, second to my father, High Commander Wallace Hedgehog. He lost *his* left arm in
battle, which was replaced by Uncle Chuck as he was beta testing the Roboticizer. Wanting to
keep what happened to him from ever happening again, he made the ROCC, but in a freak
accident, it exploded, transforming your father and into Dr. Ivo Robotnik."
The story ends with a symbolic burial of Julian Kintobor. Here, Davey is able to get on after this tradegy and become a bona fide Freedom Fighter, to undo the damage that his father has done, and restore Mobius to its former glory.
As for Robotnik, he rises from the rubble at the last page, and is very pissed. "Acorn!! I should have killed you when I had the chance!!!"
New Character: David Kintobor
There are a lot of new characters introduced in the fan fiction Sonic Universe. In this version of BAM, I only introduce one:
David's a 20-something with average build, but with a roboticized left arm that acts like a supercomputer and red eyes caused by an built-in Heads-Up-Display. He primary function is that of a hacker. He considers cyberspace to be the next wild frontier, hence his handle. He's known to talk in techno-talk--think Billy, the Blue Ranger--but is glad to give an explanation of what he just said afterward.
