Sonic and all of his friends (Excluding Tails and Amy Rose) have just celebrated or are soon to celebrate their 17th birthday. Events which will, sadly, be marred with evil. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Part One: Dawn of a New Era. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Location: Fury, the Bion outpost. Time: 30:30:30 GST Darkness lined the room in which he sat. Lord Anubis arched his fingers. The discovery of this new planet was a joyus occasion. There were life forms there. Anubis sat up. Life forms. Not since the Terran forces had life forms existed in this sector of the galaxy. The Terrans who created us, he thought. The created us to fight in their fucking InterPlanetary war, and never thought that we would be offended a t the thought of them halting our production. So, we killed them. The Bions took all that they needed. They went to every Terran inhabited world, crushed the militia and took the resources of that world. But they wanted more. They were created to be warriors, killers, soldiers. So they sought out every planet they could find and waged war with them. And now a new one. * * * Location: Mobius, Knothole. Time: 30:50:10 GST Sally flopped down onto her bed. It was late afternoon, but she wanted to go to sleep anyway. The excursions to the remains of Robotropolis were tiring, but nessasary if they wanted to De-Roboticise all of Robotnik's creations. All of a sudden, thoughts of Sonic crept into her mind. She smiled and held her eyes shut as her hands began to fondle her own body, pretending that Sonic was with her. No, she thought, this is wrong. She moaned slightly when she envisioned Sonic tweakin g the nipples of her exposed breasts. Aw, what the heck. Her hands began to slip near her thighs, her fingers wanting to reach deep inside, masquerading as Sonic's erection... "Sal!" Sally shot up from the bed. It was Sonic's voice coming from outside. She leapt up and went to the sink to rinse off her hands before she went to meet Sonic. She was smiling all the way. * * * Location: Mobius, Knothole. Time: 30:50:10 GST "Bunnie!" Tails shreiked. "What is it shugah?" Bunnie asked as she opened the door. She held a teacup in her metal hand, careful, as always, not to crush it and looked into the kit's frightened face. The faint aroma of tea tickled Tails' nose, but he was too panicked to savour th e aroma as he usually did when passing Bunnie's hut. "Where's Amy? Amy Rose, where is she?" Tails asked, panicked. "Slow down, honey," Bunnie giggled, ", didn't she tell you that she was going to the floating island this mornin'?" Bunnie ushered the pup indoors and sat him down on a chair, his twin bushy tails puffing up behind him and nearly covering his eyes. He pu ffed them up and then twisted his face into a weird expression of disbelif and astonishment. "Oh yeah," his expression turned from one of astonishment to vauge surprise and embarrassment. Tails tried to cover his embarrassment by covering his face with his tails, but it was evident that he was turning bright red, "she did..." "You and that girl, honestly kiddo," Bunnie shook her head, "you have got to admit it to yourself that you are starting to like girls!" "I do not!" Tails replied insistently, "me n' Amy just, y'know, we're the only kids around here anymore and..well..." "Well, what about Dulcy?" "Dulcy just turned thirteen! She hangs out with you more than me anymore!" Bunnie noted how true that was, particularly because she and Sally had to have a little chat with Dulcy, the same chat that they would have with Amy in six years. "Hmm, good point, kid," Bunnie said, "but, the topic was, do you like Amy?" "BUN-NIE!!!" "Well?" "Okay," Tails looked around first then began to whisper, "what I tell you now, no-body else hears, cool?" He held out his fist. "Way past," Bunnie giggled and bumped knuckles with the cub. "Okay," he drew a deep breath, "I like Amy, but not just as a friend. I don't know what it is, but, whenever I see her fawning over Sonic, I feel, like, um...*sigh* uhh..." "Like you want to be the one she hugs all the time?" Tails nodded and started for the door. Just then, Bunnie's arm shot out of it's socket and groped for Tails, hauling him back to the chair, "hang on just a hoo-haa'in minute, lover-boy, we gotta discuss ways tuh get you to tell that girl how you feel!" "BUN-NIEE!!!" * * * Location: Orbital ring, Bion Outpost, Fury. Time: 30:50:20 GST Lord Anubis entered. All the Bion soldiers in the room stood and saluted him. Mentally, he transmitted the program which would make them resume work on the bridge of the vessel. {{General Thranax, report}} was what Anubis' signal would have meant. {{My lord}} transmitted the stern tactical droid that now stood before him. {{Squadron Vestra and Squadron Sebek stand at your command.}} {{And what of Sqaudrons Tiamat and Ares?}} {{Outside the wormhole M'Lord}} the gangly tacdroid replied. {{They encompass the second wave of the attack.}} {{Excellent. Prepare my combat body.}} {{It stands on the bridge now, Lord Anubis.}} {{Good.}} At that, Anubis' body, draped in it's robe, slumped. His luminescent eyes went dark and he ceased function. Across the room, a huge form began to move. The spiked arms rose and the steel "muscles," flexed. The reverse joint legs pivoted the body to face the command post. Slowly, as befitting it's size, the war-machine lumbered across the bridge of the vessel. It took it's place at the head of the room and faced the tacdroid. {{Satisfactory m'lord?}} inquired Thranax. {{Quite,}} came Anubis' voice from the war-machine. {{Proceed, Thranax.}} At lightning speed, Thranax transmitted and recived data from whole squadrons, processed tactical manuvers and plotted the entire extinction of the planet. * * * Location: Mobius, Knothole. Time: 30:50:59 GST "Sal!" Sonic cried. "Coming Sonic!" Sally raced out and opened the door. "Sonic, I was just thinking about you!" "Sal, how would you like to take a little trip to Robotropolis?" "Sonic! How could you?! I have been working there all day!" She hushed when Sonic put his finger to her frowning lips. "Sal, Sal, Sal," Sonic shook his head, "who says we have to work?" With that, his finger slipped under her chin, guided her face to his and kissed her passionately. "True...all too true..." Sally murmured as she worked her arms behind Sonic and snuggled into his chest. Today would be the day, she told herself, today Sonic would take her virginity. Sonic knew it too. They had always talked about what they would do af ter Snively and Robotnik were taken. They knew that they were old enough and, most of all, they knew that they loved each other. Today, their fantasies would become reality under the lights of Robotropolis. * * * Location: Mobius, Knothole. Time: 30:50:59 GST "Okay, Tails? As soon as she comes back, you give her the locket." "But Bunnie," Tails said, clutching the locket that Bunnie had just carved an inscription into, "what if she..." "Shh, honey," Bunnie put her flesh finger to the pup's lips, "trust me." She looked at the locket. Rotor had given it to her when she had learned that she could control her metal body. "For luck," he had said. How she wished that it was more. Bunnie looked at the locket and sniffled. "Girls like it when a guy says that he loves them." She waited until the pup had ambled out with an anxious expression on his face and added tearfully: " When, Rotor? When can we admit that we care about each other?" * * * Across Knothole, Rotor was working in his lab. He stopped tinkering with the gargantuan transport module he was repairing and took a breather. He leaned cautiously against the machine and sighed, his eyes watering from lack of light. From here, he fancie d, he could see Bunnie's hut, just across from the workshop. Just close enough, however, that he had, on occassion, watched Bunnie at night, from the baleful glare of her window. He would watch her nude, sleek form pirruette around the room. His stomach knotted. He had always felt differantly around Bunnie. It was not as if seeing her naked was a big surprize; she had come to him once, complaining of a grinding at her hip joint. He had to remove her suit that time, and he had stared at her n ether-area for a full minute before going to work on loosening the joint, working dangerously close to her *natural* areas. But it hadn't been just that. He felt helpless. There was the time he had given her the locket. Oh, the locket! <<"Here, Bunnie." "Oh my stars! Rotor, what's this fer?!" "Because I l...I...I..*ahem*, it's for luck">> * * * Location: 2100,892.771 KM from Mobius. Time: 30:59:59 GST {{All stands ready, my lord.}} {{Good.}} {{My...Lord...?}} {{CRUSH THEM.}} * * * Location: Mobius, Robotropolis. Time: 31:00:00 GST Sonic looked at Sally. Here in the dim light of Robotropolis, her face shone radiantly. She seemed more beautiful now than ever. Her face was filled with happiness for the first time in a long while, she moved with such grace and sureness and she had fil led out nicley, physically. Sonic embraced her and kissed her deeply, for once, she returned the kiss and the kiss was *all* that mattered. Before it had been behind-thoughts to the kiss: "How am I ever going to get my life back?" Now she had solved that mystery and she could concentrate on the kiss and the kiss alone. Suddenly, a scream came from the sky. Hundreds of Sebekian Tiger fighters shreiked out of the darkness of the night sky, BYW-20s followed, dispersion cannons flaring. A nightmare had returned. The laser weapons began to shred and rip the ground, the figh ters moved with such deadly precision and timing that not a shot was missed. "SONIC!!!" Sally had become separated from her lover in the confusion, the streets of Robotropolis came alive with animals who were trying to flee back to the great forest. Sally's mind raced, had Robotnik returned? What was going on? Where was Sonic? * * * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PartTwo: New Heroes. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Location: Bion capital city (formerly Robotropolis, formerly Mobotropolis). Time: Two weeks post-invasion. Sally wept again. She shifted herself against the coldness of the alleyway and pulled the oily, dirty blanket around her for warmth, a warmth that would not come. She had been scarred by the passing events. She shuddered, thinking back to the invasion when Lord Anubis the Exalted One proclaimed that he would leave the inhabitants of Mobius alive. Some life. The city now bustled with it. Many a night had Sally to face hunger, rape and abuse from total strangers. The city was corrupt, and rapists, killers and prostitutes ran rampant in the streets. Sally put her hand between her legs and cursed herself for ha ving something so attractive to males that she had endured three rapes in the past two weeks. Two had been foxes and one was a Wolf who had savagely bitten into her tender genitalia before thrusting himself inside. Luckily, Sally had managed to not get pr egnant by scraping all of it out of her, but she knew that she would have to endure more. She thought about getting fat and ugly, and scarring her own face so that the males wouldn't want her anymore...but if they didn't, she was out of a job. Her watch beeped. She looked at it blankly. It was time for her to go back to work. She shrugged off the blanket to reveal an achingly beautiful body, bruised, battered yet nakedly tender. She reached over to the bag that held all of her worldly possessi ons and drew out a handful of cloth. Slowly, avoiding her injuries, she applied the cloth to her body, barely covering her pelvis and breasts. Sally threw a coat over herself and made off to work. No sense in letting 'em get it for free when they can come to the club, she thought, shivering. Now she could only think of Sonic. * * * Sonic ached all over. It had been two weeks, just him, Nicole and Rotor stuck in the Great Forest. Everyone else had been taken away to the Bion Capital. Sonic rose from the grass and spotted Rotor sitting cross-legged in front of Nicole. The shimmering light from Nicole's screen flashed across his face. Sonic stood behind him. "What's up Rote?" Sonic said, his voice betraying his sadness. "What the fuck do you think, Sonic?" Rotor sneered, "It's been two damned weeks and we can't find a way to penetrate Anubis' defenses. He's worse than Robotnik was!...I just give up Sonic, I just give up." With that, Rotor got up and left. Sonic peeked at Nicole's screen to see what had him so riled. Nothing but Bunnie Rabbot's image flickered on the screen. Sonic looked back to Rotor. He had suspected more than "usual mantinence," between the two, but never this. Rotor was just a big kid, and Bunnie wasn't interested in any guys at the moment. Sure, the rattling in the workshed could be excused as the testing of a new part...but what if Rotor had been screwing Bunnie in more ways than one? Or had they been conducting tests to see which parts of Bunnie's natural anatomy still functioned? Or mabye he was suffering from a love never known. "Nicole," Sonic said, saving the speculation, "I need some advice." "WHAT UP, SONIC?" Nicole droned, Bunnie's image dissolving from her screen. Sonic wondered if that would be the last time he ever saw Bunnie's face. "Review and research all tactical plans." "ACCESSING, SONIC." A few moments. "FOUND 131 FILES, ONE HIDDEN." Sonic's eyes opened fully, "access hidden file!" "PASSWORD REQIURED." Sonic thought for a moment, then said: "Bean!" "FILE ACCESS APPROVED. ACCESS TO FILE LABLED 'CHAOS EMERALD' GRANTED TO SONIC HEDGEHOG. READING FILE NOW. "CHAOS EMERALD: SECRET FILE. "UNKNOWN TO MANY MOBIANS, THE CHAOS EMERALDS' POWERS ARE INFINITE. THESE MAGICAL STONES REACT TO DANGER, HOWEVER, HOW THEY REACT IS THE STRANGEST PART OF ALL. ACCORDING TO ANCIENT SCRIPTURES, THE GEMS OF THE GOD CHAOS WILL BESTOW POWER TO THEIR USER FOR THE CAUSE OF FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE. THE STRANGE PART IS THAT, ACCORDING TO THE ADVERSARY, THE POWERS CHANGE." Sonic was stunned. He remembered that the emeralds changed him into Super Sonic to battle Robotnik, but if their powers change to accommodate the adversary... Sonic ripped up the soil all the way to the floating island. "KICK ASS, HEDGEHOG," was Nicole's comment. * * * When Sonic climbed to the top of the island, Knuckles was nowhere to be found. Sonic raced to the Chaos Chamber, ignoring the damage around him. He only prayed that the emeralds were safe. When he got to the chamber... Only one emerald remained. It stood without it's bretheren, hanging in the centre of the crystalline room where so many panels had been shattered that it seemed as if the ethereal glow of the chamber had never been. Sonic could only peice together what had happened here. Seemingly, Knuckles tried to rescue the emeralds from the Bions and either failed or succeeded. Either way, the blue emerald was right here. But something was not right. The emerald had changed. The pretty, gleaming facets no longer existed in the face of the emerald. Now it was sharp and harsh, almost evil looking, with jagged edges. "Come hither, brave one." Sonic tried not to act surprised. The emeralds had spoken to him before, after all. "How would you like to save this world, brave one?" "That is why I have come to seek you," Sonic said, choosing his words wisely. "Then step forth and recive the power that will alter the balance for good." As Sonic grasped the emerald, he felt the charge surging through him, his body recived something from the emerald, something powerful. The energy brightened the room and reflected off of the crystalline walls. "What th'" said Rotor, who was standing by the door with Nicole in his hands. His jaw dropped at the sight. It *was* Sonic who stood before him, but he was covered in armour. The metal suit was as pure blue as the emerald had been (for it was nowhere to be found now), the shoulders pointed skywards, the hands were cruel claws, roc ket vents protruded and the dark visor reflected no light but the light from Sonic's left eye. Rotor would have sworn it to be some sort of war Bion if not for the short stature and the fact that Sonic had just been standing in that same exact spot. Then, just as suddenly as the armour had appeared, it winked away, leaving a scared and confused emerald-weilding hedgehog standing there. "Good!" exclaimed the emerald "the armour of the Teknoman has structured to your form. It will now remain emmbedded in your flesh until you weild this crystal and shout 'Tekno-Power.'Good Luck, quilled one." with that, the emerald lost it's shine. "Sonic?" "I'm okay, Rote, I just gotta try this out." Sonic held the five pointed emerald up to the sky and shouted with all his might... "Tekno-Power!!!!!!!" Sonic felt the power of the planet course through him again as the suit's power expanded, encompassing him. The power blotted put the pain he should have felt when the armour ripped out of his skin like thousands of tiny rapiers. Now he stood there, as p owerful as possible, hefting a shining katana blade in his left hand. "Sonic!" Rotor blurted, "do you know what this means? Now we can beat the Bions!!!" "Yes," Sonic's voice came deeper and more commanding than ever before, "but first, I must rescue Sally." "Sonic," Rotor was quiet now, "you can't know..." "I can, the armour lets me know that she lives. And I will find her." "Well, good luck and hurry back, BlueQuill!" "BlueQuill," his eye gleamed, "yes, I like this name. Call me 'Blue Quill!' I must not let the others know that I am alive until I am ready to rescue them all, so the name is a good thing." "Alright, BlueQuill," Rotor said, clapping him on the back, "it's time for a new breed of warrior." * * * {{Lord Anubis...}} Thranax droned. The seat before him swiveled away from the veiw of the city below. Anubis was once again in his cloaked Emperor body. {{Yes, Thranax?}} {{Twenty Bion Unibots were destroyed not more than 0.0003 seconds ago.}} {{WHAT?}} Anubis shrieked. {{What could have that kind of power?}} * * * BlueQuill stood over the carnage of Bion parts and sighed. He cycled up his thrusters and blazed out of the city. This first mission had been unsucessful, but in his heart, he knew that Sally was still alive. However, what he didn't know was that he was being watched. The two armoured forms watched the wake of dust left behind from the city rooftops. The left eye of each shone brightly. In the dim light, one could see the red glow of the tall Teknowarrior and pink sheen of the shorter one. The taller one spoke: "Behold, little sister, the hero of Mobius himself, he whom you worship so greatly, has succumbed to the power of the emerald and uses it to free Mobius also." "Good, CrimsonClaw, now the Bions must deal with the three of us." The taller one turned to her, "Then, RoseThorn, we have much work to do." * * * Somewhere in the city, a small form emerged from the shadows, posted a flyer on the wall of an alley and dashed off. The flyer read: "Down with all Bion insurgents!!! Join the Coalition for Peace now!!!" The small one slid back into the shadows. He wiped sweat from his brow and marched off in another direction. Might as well take in a strip show before going back, he thought as he tugged at the crotch of his pants to "accommodate." However, in doing this , a storm of fur erupted from the back of his pants. "Damn tails," he muttered. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ComingSoon: Who else has found emeralds? What power does the armour give?
