Sonic Boom Universe: Present Day
Meanwhile, in another universe very different to our own, even the original Sonic universe, it is here that Sonic and his friends are in a battle of their own against Dr. Eggman.
Though while this battle is usually like the originals’, it is shown very different, as Team Sonic, formed out of Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles and their wild feral friend, Sticks the Badger, fight against Eggman’s forces when he is either trying to take over the world… or not quite getting what he wants, which ether comes first.
Before we check in, we may want to call the Sonic characters in this universe in a different way, as such add “SB” into their names, to avoid confusion in future chapters.
Anyways, during this battle, “SB” Eggman is failing on his schemes (some things are universal), due to Sonic and his allies taking him down, while “SB” Knuckles and “SB” Tails took care of the Bee Bots and Crab Bots, and “SB” Amy was dealing with the Motobugs, “SB” Sonic had to deal with saving Sticks from the Mega (which was a giant robot), for during the fight, Sticks was trying to swat and hit it like crazy (well, she is already crazy, a conspiracy nut no less), only to result in getting grabbed by the Mega.
Of course the fight was nearing an end, as “SB” Knuckles threw “SB” Sonic into the Mega, spin dashing through the process, and go right through it, resulting it to spin out of control and explode, releasing Sticks in the process.
“Woooo!!” cried Sticks, finally free and enjoying the fun of flying like she was a bird… or a badger with wings.
Of course, at times, some moments don’t last long as she was hurtling towards a coconut tree, “Woooo--oooh, waitaminute—Ahhh!!” Stick cried out as she saw what was happening, until she crashed into the tree, fell to the ground with a bump, and got bonked by a coconut or two as they fell.
“Nice work, gang! Another day, another chance to beating ol’ Egghead!” said a proud “SB” Sonic as he congratulated his friends, as “SB” Eggman retreated back to his lair, of course this was then put on hold as “SB” Amy began looking around with confussion.
“Did anyone see where Sticks landed?” she asked, after hearing that, the others were not sure we she went.
Back with Sticks, she was regaining her senses after the bonks on the head, “Ugh… oh, hello coconuts,” she said to the coconuts, a little dizzy but ok, “come to share more gossip? Like what that weird hole in the is over there?”
For as she said that, the “weird hole in the air” began to appear, surprising Sticks, as she then quickly hid in the bushes, watching to see what was happening as three figures walked out.
The three figures, revealed in person, were none other than the Maverick Hunters, X, Zero and Axl, for after Sigma vanished from their dimension, their had to use Sigma’s technology to create a temporal portal to find out where he went.
“Wow…” said X, checking his surroundings, as one minute, they were at Sigma’s frozen base, the next, they were in some kind of jungle, “to see so much natural vegetation in one place… we’re definitely not on our world anymore!”
“Uh… bad news, X.” Axl spoke out, “Looks like we missed the mark.”
X was both surprised and confused at this, “What?! How?! We used Sigma’s own device to figure out where his energy signature would be!”
“Yeah,” said Axl, as he got more bad news for him, “but sadly, it seems that something must be jamming Sigma’s signal from us, so I’m afraid that we must have missed the turn and arrived to a different world.”
“Great,” said Zero, as he fingered between his eyes in stress, “let’s get back to our world before--” just as he was about to finish, the portal was snapped shut behind them as he finally said “--the portal collapses.”
With their way back no longer there, the hunters had to come up with a new strategy, “All right, let’s take a moment.” X spoke up, “The hunters have the fortress secured, Vile is currently contained and we at least landed on a world, instead of some void.”
Sticks, unaware to the three, was listening to the whole conversation, but was uncertain if they were friendly, as X continued, “We’ll just have to ask around. Maybe one of the locals can help us.”
“I dunno, X.” Zero, spoke out, “This place looks pretty rustic.” Suddenly he was hit on the helmet by a boomerang!
Sticks, having thrown the boomerang and caught it, jumped out of her hiding place as she showed herself to X’s team, “Hold it right there, shiny metal men!” she shouted, “I won’t have you interrogating the poor, defenseless villagers!” she then got a bit of thought, as she then tried to think up an excuse as she said “I mean… uh… the village full of kung-fu masters that… uh… shoot bees out of their mouths! Laser Bees!!”
“Whoa! Easy there, little one,” said a calm X, as he approached the Badger, “we’re not here to hurt you. We’re here to help.”
“A likely story!” shouted Sticks, who was still unsure if she could trust him.
“It’s true,” said X, as he explained, “I’m X, one of the Maverick Hunters. It’s my sworn duty to protect people… all life, really. My friends and I are hunting down a fugitive that escaped to a nearby dimension, it’s crucial we stop him before he lays waste to that world.”
“Wait…” said Sticks, as she was summing it all up, “so you’re some kind of non-bad robot cop from another dimension crossing space and time to bring down a diabolical evil that probably betrayed you and everything you stand for?!”
“Uh… yeah,” said X, as he answered, “that sums it up.”
At this, Sticks suddenly became excited about this, “My visions came true!! And my friends said it was just a dream from eating all those s’more…”
Later, not far from the village, two good townspeople are in quite a good conversation, for they are Comedy Chimp, huge star of the Comedy Chimp Show and Fastidious Beaver, who are taking a good stroll.
“I tell ya,” said Comedy Chimp, “that ending of the latest Hedgehog Abbey episode was very dramatic!”
“Very Corny.” Fastidious spoke, which C.C. turned to the beaver… and saw he was eating some corn, “Oh, pardon,” said Fastidious, “actually, I was just stating this lovely snack that I brought with me.”
Comedy Chimp chuckled a bit, “You know, that was pretty good, comedic gold, even!”
Before they can continue, Sticks popped out of nowhere, grabbed hold of them and dragged over to the Hunters.
“Team Sticks, ready and reporting for duty!” said the feral badger, with her team she just got together so quickly, “Now, let’s go stop world-hopping evil!”
The hunters had a good look of the team, with X giving a sighing smile and Axl having a good giggle, while Zero had the usual “seriously” face, unsure about this team.
Soon at Dr. Eggman’s lair (still the Boom Version, of course), the hunters and Team Sticks were inside, having used a sewer tunnels in order to get in with setting off alarms.
“This way,” said Sticks, leading both teams, “Dr. Eggman’s sure to have some kind of inter-dimensional-whooza-ma-whatsit stashed around here!”
“Is it really necessary we be here for this?” whispered Fastidious, unsure of the situation.
“Th-think of it as exposure, my friend!” Comedy Chimp whispered back, “No such thing as bad publicity!”
“Are you sure you know where to find something that can help us around here?” Axl asked Sticks.
“Ah, don’t worry,” she replied, “if the other me had no problem doing this then why should I?” that last comment left the Maverick Hunter a little confused at that part.
But then, from around the corner came “SB” Orbot and “SB” Cubot (yes, there are Sonic Boom versions of Eggman’s lackeys as well), who were in a bit of a conversation about Eggman’s upcoming schemes in progress.
“…and then I was like, “Seven-point-five paint jobs? For one robot?” and the boss is all “I need more variants!” can you believe that?” said “SB” Cubot as he was in the middle of talking, when “SB” Orbot spotted the group.
“Egad! Intruders!” Orbot cried, “Wuh-oh!” gulped Sticks, realizing that her team and the Maverick Hunters were caught on the spot.
“Stop right there!” said Orbot, as he and Cubot got into fighting stance, “You don’t want to mess with us!” shouted Cubot, “We know Kung-Pao!” “It’s “Fu.” Cubot.” Corrected Orbot, only for Cubot to say “Yeah! Kung-Pao, Fu!” “No it’s… oh forget it…”
Soon Zero stepped up in front of Sticks as he confronted the two robots, “Oh, it’s a fight you want?” he said seriously as he got out his saber, preparing to show them what he can do, “Zero…” said a concerned X, who didn’t want any trouble, with the others (except Sticks) looking a little worried as Zero came closer to the little robot minions…
And they quickly hide into their shells, worried of what Zero could do, in which Zero, who guessed that a small threat wouldn’t hurt much, made his demands.
“Or -- you could show us you best iner-dimensional tech without raising any alarms. Your call.” Zero explained, as the minions knew what to do.
“O-of c-course. W-we’re gracious hosts!” said a nervous Orbot, “How does the beam know when to stop?” whispered a worried Cubot, as he looked at the beam sword.
Soon, after sneaking them into a nearby lab, the SB counterparts of Orbot and Cubot began to prepare their master’s inter-dimensional transporting machine, which weirdly looked like giant metal bubble blower.
“If you’re stalling for reinforcements…” warned a threatening Zero, only to be stopped by the two workers “Not at all! I like staying in one piece!” spoke out Cubot, “J-just a moment more, everyone, while we prime the system.” Orbot stated as it the machine was nearly ready.
“The mechaniloids of this world are so weird…!” said Axl, as the two robots prepared the machine, as they hold up what looked like a giant bubble wand, while the engine looked like a giant bubble mix bottle, soon it fired through the wand, and out of the other side came a brand new portal, ready to be entered.
“There!” said Orbot, “One portal, as per your specifications.”
“C’mon! C’mon!” said an excited Sticks, as she looked up to the hunters and her (little worried) team while preparing to enter the portal, “Let’s go do whatever it was you wanted to do! I already forgot… oh, yeah! Kick Sigma’s butt!”
Unknown Dimension
As one group head out on one mission, another was nearly beginning theirs, as Twilight and Donnie were busy working on the teleportation gateway, with little extra help from Gandalf (with his magic) and Batman, the two also thought of building a generator for the gateway, to help power it up.
As they did that, each member of the group explained about the situation one at the time, explaining what happened in each others’ worlds which lead them to their current state, after things had come clean and crystal clear, they all agreed about believing whoever it was that caused the rifts and capture their friends was responsible.
“Interesting,” said Shade, after hearing each party’s own part of the story, “so all we have to do right now, is find where our friends were taken, and find whoever it is and what is going on.”
“Darn right, sugar cube,” Applejack agreed, “though while I little bit get the situation, I’m still a little flustered to all this.”
“Well,” said Rarity, “Twilight has been to world where the other versions of ourselves, as well as we went to a different Equestria, so I suppose it’s not all unusual.”
“Well, then why are we standing around here talking, when we should be finding your friends, get back the Chaos Emeralds and go home,” grumbled a bored Shadow, who was getting more and more impatient since the two scientific minds of a mutant turtle and a purple Alicorn were taking long to fix the machine.
“Hey, Shadow,” said Donnie, while working at the same time, “just to let you know that it takes time when inventing and/or repairing things when it comes to geniuses like me and-- oh, my gosh!!” the conversation was put on hold as Donatello found another strange object of a device.
“Twilight, do you know what this?!” Donnie said excitingly as he showed Twilight, whose reaction was just the same as his.
“I have absolutely no idea!”
“Me neither! I can hardly wait to learn so much more of this!!”
“This could probably come useful later on!”
“Oh, totally, man, all this tech is well super advanced, even more so than the Kraang!”
As the two were geeking out like kids at Christmas, Sonic just looked at them with a small smile, “Man,” he said, “I wish Tails was here, he would love do the good ol’ brainiac thing with them.”
He then gave a small sigh, knowing that Tails was close to being a young brother to him, Amy saw this and placed her hand on his shoulder, “Don’t worry Sonic, I’m sure we’ll find him.” Mario and Luigi nodded in agreement, knowing the exact same thing if this happened to both of them.
“And besides,” Knuckles stated out, “Tails is sure to know what to do, he’ll think of something to get himself out and help the others too!”
This gave Sonic a good proud thumbs up for thanks, knowing that Tails was very smart and brave in his own way, so he guessed there was not a lot to worry about.
Soon, humming from both the machine and the generator disturbs the conversation, as Donnie and Twilight succeed in fixing the teleporter, “All right, stand back everyone,” said Donatello, “let’s see how this goes!”
As Donnie turned to a control pad nearby and pressed several buttons, the symbols on the gateway began to light up in different colours, several of them had what looked like those of the Greek alphabet, while most had some of the Behenian fixed stars on them.
As if lightening had struck, the engine began letting off energy, sending it into the gateway, as it flashed and another wormhole had been opened inside, the group was awe struck, the dimensional gateway had been repaired.
“Re-routing from back-up power. All systems are go. Limited system functionality restored.” A robotic voice echoed out, surprising most of the team, until Knuckles began realizing what the last part meant what the voice said.
“Wait, “Limited system functionality”? Am I gonna loose an arm if I go through that thing?” he asked.
“One way to find out,” said Raphael, as he turned to Knuckles, “go on first, porcupine.”
“Hey!” steamed the red echidna as his fist up to the turtle’s face, “Who do you think you’re calling ‘porcupine’?”
Ignoring the near heated argument, Nepgear looked closely to the machine, “You know,” she said as she saw parts of the gateway shaking a little, with small sparks flying out, “it does look unstable.”
Shadow then turned to the others as he had a solution, “I saw some glowing parts get sucked into it,” he said, as he turned back to the gateway, “they could be important…”
“Well,” said Gandalf, “it seems to be… alive, at least.” Donnie then got out his device, which he added a few extra leftover parts from around the strange planet while looking for a way to fix the gateway.
“My inter-dimensional scanner is saying that there is definitely something through there, if we go in, we may find it.” As the group looked to the portal ahead, they all had their thoughts.
“Could it lead us to the missing parts?” asked Leo.
“Could be.” Answered Batman.
“Or maybe our friends?” Pooh suggested.
“Quite possible, maybe.” Sonic answered, each of them liking that suggestion.
“Or how about an awesome super-duper sweet world full of candy, with ice cream mountains, soda rivers, jelly bean rainbows, gingerbread houses, lollipop trees, cupcake hills and much more since the world is completely made of candy!?” said an excited Pinkie Pie, hoping for a “yes” for the answer (Peashy, with glee, was also secretly wanting to go to said world).
However, everyone looked at each other, back to Pinkie, then to each other again, about that crazy suggestion, only to turn back to her as Shadow, Batman, Blanc and Raph all answered, “Don’t quite think so.” Much to the pink pony’s disappointment (as well as Peashy’s).
Suddenly a cry echoed out from the rift, “HELP!!” it cried, the ponies recognizing the cry to be from a certain purple dragon.
“That’s Spike!” called out Twilight.
“He must be in some kind of trouble!” said a worried Sweetie Belle.
Then another voiced was heard, one that this time the plumbers knew, “MARIO!” said a female voice
“Princess!” called out the Mario Bros., knowing that Princess Peach was in danger.
“Well, looks like we found our answer to one of our ‘what if’s,” said Sonic, with determination, “time for some inter-dimensional rescue!”
Soon the team rushed into the portal, with brave action faces at the ready, as they prepared for what the unknown had in store for them as they were once again in the vortex rift, flying to who knows where.
“Get ready, folks,” said a pumped Sonic, “because here we…”
??????? Universe: Present Day
The portal opened up, as our heroes landed by a forested shore, nearby a beach, as they looked around, it seemed that the place looked a bit calm, “…go?” said Sonic, looking around with confusion.
“Huh,” he then said with little disappointed, “I was expecting something more… perilous.”
Amy had a good look as well, “Well, it is pretty nice around here.” She said, as the rift snapped shut after dropping them off.
“I would have had a more pleasant journey on the back of that Balrog.” Grunted Gandalf, who grumpily compared the journey through the rift wormhole to the Balrog fight a while back.
“Hmm,” said Neptune, looking around, “I don’t see Compa anywhere…”
“Or Peach…” said a disappointed Luigi.
“Or even Christopher Robin…” said an equally disappointed Piglet.
“Well, I say we take a look around,” suggested Rabbit, “at least we’ll be able to know where we are.”
“Good idea, Rabbit,” said Donnie, as he looked at his device, “there must definitely be something around here that the radar is detecting…” soon the group moved forward, towards the woods, as they looked around, it all seemed calm and nice, like any forest would be, for there were even a few birds tweeting the trees as well.
“Charming place,” said Gandalf, as he looked at the forest, “reminds me of some of the forest paths I use to take during my travels…”
Pooh and his friends were interested also, “Well, this very well reminds us of home, back in the 100-Acre woods.” Owl stated as they passed on.
Though while she didn’t speak, Fluttershy was also enjoying the scenery also, making her remember when she first got her cutie mark when she befriended some of the woodland creatures.
As they continued, however, they approached a clearing after walking through the forest (bit of flying in Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Owl’s case) but as they were nearing a centre, Rainbow Dash spotted something on the ground.
“Hey, guys,” she called out, “I think I see something!” she then flew up a bit more and was surprised to what she saw, for on the ground, was what looked like a scorch mark, going in what like a spiral, almost like a firework.
When she landed back down and explained the mark, the others were a bit baffled, “What do you think caused that?” asked Leo, wondering what could be out.
“Do you think it could be some sort of fire creature, I mean the ground has been scorched to the ground…” suggested Amy, which the ponies had a little thought, knowing one creature that can breath fire, and their friend, Spike, was one of them.
“Y’all mean, like a Dragon?” asked Apple Bloom, this instantly stunned most of the group at that suggestion.
“Well,” Gandalf spoke, “there have been dragons around back in Middle-Earth, but there hasn’t been any sign or scale of one since a long time…”
“But still,” said Twilight, “it could be possible…”
While the others began thinking (with Pooh in his usual thinking state), up on the cliffs, a shadow began to loom over, Mikey, having been thinking also, stopped when he saw the shadow, and as he turned to who it belonged to, he went wide-eyed with horror at what he saw.
“Um… guys…” he said with worry.
This only caused Raph to shoo him, “Can it wait a minute?” he asked.
“Sure…” said Mikey, until he stated, “but I don’t think it will…” wondering what he meant, the others turned to where he was looking at and figured out what he meant, for as they looked, they were in state of shock, like their blood suddenly turned cold with horror at what they saw.
Up on the edge, looking at them with glaring narrow eyes, with a sign it was the predator and they were the prey… was an actual dragon!!
Sonic’s World, somewhere on board the G.U.N. air carrier: Present Day
“What, “a Space/Time Monopoly”, never knew a game could be bad…” said a confused Charmy, as he and the rest of Team Chaotix, as well as the rest of Sonic’s friends were onboard the G.U.N. air carrier, flying by Station Square.
When they arrived on board, the others explained what happened to Sonic, Shadow and the others, as well as the Chaos Emeralds and Dr. Eggman after the his ship crashed, which, in turn, Silver and Blaze began to explain what was the situation, however, when explaining about a Space/Time Anomaly, it confused Charmy that to a old board game he played, which earned him a bonk on the head from Vector.
“Not ‘Monopoly’, Anomaly, as in a disruption of sorts in the Spacetime continuum” corrected Silver, not sure if the young bee was either distracted or just dopey, but was put on hold when Commander Tower looked to him.
“Tell me, Silver, does what happened earlier with the portal that Sonic and our agent went have to do with this anomaly?” he asked, to which Silver nodded as he explained.
“That’s right, it basically started when I was meeting up with a friend of mine in the future, Professor Krei Tudyk, who was the one who helped me at times with the ability to time travel…”
Silver’s Future
Silver was entering a lab, where it was filled with various machinery and tech, beyond the imagination.
He then approached an old man, dressed in a scientist’s outfit, he was tall, had gray hair tufts and large pointy nose with a gray mustache.
This was Professor Krei Tudyk, a brilliant mind who was proud to know the works of the Spacetime continuum, and was the man responsible for giving Silver the task to watch over it with his physic abilities.
But as he approached him, Silver noticed that the Professor was looking very stern and focused on something.
“Uh… Professor?” he called out, which the scientist heard him and turned to him.
“Ah, Silver, just the hedgehog I needed to see,” he said, happy to see the white hedgehog again, “I need to show you something…”
Once he got up to the professor, Silver looked up to the screen, and was surprised to what he was looking at, on the screen was what looked like a portal of such.
“What is that, Prof. Tudyk?” he asked with interest and concern.
“It’s an inter-dimensional portal, my friend. One of incredible power.” Prof. Tudyk explained.
“Did you make it?” Silver asked, only for the scientist to sadly chuckle and shake his head.
“Oh-hoo-hoo-hoo… no, of course not,” then he grew concerned “but I have a feeling someone, or something else, has…”
As he turned back to screen he began to explain, “As you can see, according to my research, we seem to be experiencing a temporal anomaly within the Spacetime continuum,” this gave Silver quite a shock as the professor continued, “for these bizarre rifts are seemingly opening up, and like shards, they seem to be tearing holes through the “fabric” of space-time, the rifts seem to lead to entirely different dimensions, though I’m sure who’ve had your share of dimension-jumping before, such as the situation with the Ifrit.”
“That is true,” said Silver, as he had a bit of worry, if one of the rifts were to somehow open to the Ifrit’s dimension, either now, the past where Sonic was, or even an entire different dimension, it would mean terrible trouble, and then he remembered the incident with the Time Eater, which was one of Dr. Eggman’s most devious scheme, when his creation threatened all of space/time, opening holes in reality being one of them, “were there any situations from these rifts lately?”
“I’m afraid so, it would seem that several people have gone missing due to these portals, even a whole Chao garden filled with Chao suddenly disappeared when one appeared out of no where!” explained Prof. Tudyk, Silver was stunned cold at this, “If these rifts go uncheck,” he continued, “I fear that there would lead to chaos across our universe and time-line! I need you to look into these for me, my friend…”
Sonic’s World: Present Day
“So I was tasked into figuring out where the rift’s origin was, all the while traveling between the dimensions, unfortunately, there had been few complications…” Silver finished as the others were stunned as he was.
“But why is Miss Blaze here?” asked a confused Cream, this was were the others turned to her, knowing that she would have an explanation.
“Well,” she said, “I’m afraid that I, too, had an unexpected encounter with the strange rifts as well,” she then explained what happened, “it all started one night, when I had a bizarre vision from the Sol Emeralds, indicating a threat from someone who had the ability to control the rifts. The next day, while on a stroll with Marine, I was alerted that the Sol Emeralds and the Jeweled Scepter were being taken, as soon as we arrived, we saw the wormhole, and Marine charged towards the scepter and grabbed hold of it, only for her to get sucked in afterwards. When Silver came by and explained the situation, we knew we had to alert this threat to Sonic, but now…” she looked down with disappointment, worried about what would have happened to Marine and Sonic, fearing she may had failed her duties to protect Sol Emeralds once more.
Silver, however, turned to her, put his hands on her shoulders as he spoke with determination, “Don’t worry, Blaze, I’m sure Marine would be alright as soon as Sonic finds her, and I’m sure they’ll both be ok, I promise that.” He then gave her a nice smile with hope, as she began to blush; only then did he blush about how close they were.
The others, practically Cream and Rouge, smiled at this, guessing that Silver and Blaze could be more than just friends.
Suddenly, the alarms went off, gaining everyone’s attention as the Commander Tower gave out the orders, “What’s happened?! Status report, fast!” he ordered.
“Sir,” spoke up one of the men on monitor duty, “another one of those rifts have just opened up in the middle of the city, something had just fell out of it!”
It was here that the others feared something had happened, soon the group was transported down to the city, while Silver and Omega flew down to join the others.
As they hurried towards where the trouble was, people everywhere were in a panic, all running the opposite direction to get away from the danger.
“Hey!” cried out Silver, calling to one of the escapees, “What’s happened?”
“It’s terrifying,” the young woman explained, with fear in her eyes, “some sort of fire beast had appeared from the sky, and it’s begun to go on the rampage!” she then turned around and continued to escape.
‘A fire beast?’ thought Silver, as he then began to get a horrifying thought, ‘No! It couldn’t be, not the Ifrit!’ soon he flew off, with the others in pursuit, as they arrived to the centre of the city, they were in quite a startle at what they saw.
In front of them, was what looked like a giant rock gargoyle with a whip, also on fire to add, letting out terrifying roars, while attacking everything in it’s path.
“What the… that’s not the Ifrit!!” Silver realized, though while relieved that it wasn’t the Ifrit that appear, the monster was still dangerously out of control.
Though what they didn’t know, was that what they were starring at was Balrog that Sonic’s group and Gandalf had been battling in free fall, only for them to escape while it fell, though some how fell into a rift which brought it here.
“Well, what ever it is, we’ve got to kick it out of here!” shouted Vector, being a bit cocky, but filled with determination.
“Maybe we can give it a hug?” suggested Big, though hearing this, the others were are bit deadpanned at that suggestion, until the beast turned it’s attention to them.
“I don’t think this thing is the hugging type, Big!” said Blaze, as she was prepared to fight, then Rouge decided to call in the big guns, mainly…
“Omega,” she turned to her robot partner, “time to do some damage!”
Omega then activated all his weapons as he shouted out, “Ready-for-damage-control!!” then he began fire, letting off bullets, lasers and missiles as he took on the creature “Yippee Ki-yay!! Eat-lead-fire-maggot!!”
This basically did some damage, as the beast was bombarded with explosions, though it then used it’s wings to shield from the rest of the attacks, then began to come after the group, as it let out a roar of anger.
“I think we ticked it off!” Charmy said with fear, as the creature came closer, but soon Silver began to use his powers as he started collecting things from café tables to empty trucks and cars, throwing them to the creature, causing it get hit, though, like before, used it’s wings for shielding and it began using both it’s whip and it’s arm to swat most of the flying objects like flies with a fly swatter.
It then began to use the whip to try and strike back, though while they were fast to dodge, they had to stay clear of getting burned or beaten down, as well as avoid from being crushed by the objects it began to throw back at them.
It made things more difficult as the creature began making damage around everywhere it went, sending cars flying, using it’s whip to knock the building walls down, letting out fire it was breathing and even try to grab hold of one of them as a hostage.
“This thing sure means business, doesn’t it?” Espio asked Blaze as they fell back to prepare another strategy.
“Indeed,” said the other dimensional Princess, “I just hope Sonic’s having better luck than we are!”
HtTYD Universe: Present
“Now that’s more like it!!” shouted an excited Sonic, though while he and the others were in danger, it was still the perilous thing that he was hoping for, just as the dragon roared before taking flight to strike.
The dragon that they were facing was a large one; it had large wings with talons, large horns, big spines and sharp claws on it’s feet, it was also greenie blue as well, thought they didn’t know yet, but this was a Typhoomerang, and dragon capable of unleashing cyclonic jets of flames.
Witnessing it letting out flames, the heroes dodged quickly, while Pooh, his friends, Fluttershy and the Crusaders were trying to find shelter.
While they battled, Gandalf had a good look at it, “Goodness,” he said, “this is almost similar to Smaug!” before anyone could ask who (or what) he was talking about, the dragon let out another roar, before beginning to spin round and around.
“What is it doing?” asked a confused Raph.
“Does anyone think that this dragon look’s broken?” wondered Mikey, but soon their answer began to reveal itself as the Typhoomerang began to shoot fire, this time in a circle, seeming as it was going to trap them, the group out before they were trapped, then witnessed what the dragon was doing.
Soon the dragon span around once more, this time, it began to lift the fire up as well, creating what looked like a twister made of flames, nearly sucking the groups into it, until it imploded, sending most them flying.
“Mikey!” shouted Batman, “Get those toy animals and those ponies out of here, out of harm’s way!”
“No arguments here!” Rabbit cried out, as he and the others hurried off, with Mikey following behind, though he should be in front.
But sadly, trouble wasn’t far behind, as when they escape to a clearing, Piglet gulped at what he saw, resulting him to turn back, while others spotted what he saw.
There, in the clearing were more wild dragons, some different to the one the others were dealing with, when one of them spotted the team, it let out a growl, drawing the other’s attention towards the stuff animals, the shy Pegasus, the three fillies and youngest turtle.
“Ok,” gulped Mikey, “That way, not a good idea!” he then began running back the way they came, the others following him this time, though with some of the dragons chasing them.
Back with the others, Knuckles tried to keep the dragon occupied with his upper cuts, only to end up getting knocked by it’s tail, sending him crashing into Luigi, away from the fight, though as they got up, Luigi then spotted something shining in a bush…
“Alright,” Neptune then shouted, “It’s time for the girls to have some fun!” her friends nodded to this and heroines of Gamindustri rushed in.
Shadow saw this as he cried out, “What are you doing?!” though they didn’t answer, the girls got out their weapons, knowing that they were going to join in the fight.
As she used her sword to defender Sonic from getting tail whipped, Neptune called out “Get ready creepy, cause some new players have joined the fray!”
But as the girls made battle against it, Mikey’s group ran straight in as they heard him yell “Dudes, this place is full dragons!!” which then they turned to realize he was right.
Following behind, five more dragons were charging in, all in wanting to get the first strike on the group, two of them, one green and the other, violet, looked like flatfish with scales, spines, legs and wings, only for when one of them flew up, it began to let out a sonic wave, sending Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie tumbling, this was a Thunderdrum, as they had the ability to let out a sonic blast, and that it is believed that they gain that power from Thor.
Another was attacking Raph and Donnie, as they were dealing a odd looking dragon, for this one had two heads instead of one, for this was a Hideous Zippleback, for one head (right head) breaths gas and the other (left head) ignites it, making a big explosion, which is what they did, too.
One was snake-like in appearance, with wings and feet also, as well as a horned head, the dragon the group confronted was a Grapple Grounder, and, besides taking on the group, it began fighting the Tythoomerang, too, firing blast after blast.
The last one that attacked was strange, for it looked like a reptilish pig, with small wings, a clubbed tail, sharp teeth with tusks and it’s whole body was covered in bumps, and it then began scooping up rocks and eating them, this was a Gronkle, the toughest (though slowest) dragon known in the dragon kingdom, and for when it eat the rocks, it was a huge surprise for the team.
Soon the dragons were now facing of the team, even against each other for the first bite of the intruders, Blanc and Amy used their hammers to swat away the Grounder, while shade was having difficulty facing one of the Thunderdrums, then the Gronkle suddenly burst up and fired molten lava to it’s target, some of them missed most of the group but it did strike some of the dragons.
Rom and Rom used their spells to defend Pooh and his friends, as Uni and Nepgear used their rifle and beam saber, respectfully, to protect them and fight back.
Peashy and Plutia, meanwhile, were comforting a scared Fluttershy, having a bad case of drakonophobia, while hiding behind a bush.
Suddenly Knuckles and Luigi finally arrived, Luigi carrying what looked like glass shield with markings on it, as they returned to fighting, Knuckles charged into the Typhoomerang with a huge slam with his fists, as pay payback for the tail whip.
“Hey,” said Pinkie as she spotted the shield, “what is this strange thingie?” Luigi just shrugged, though he would ask Donnie if this was what they were looking for, but then, when Pinkie touched it, three small wormholes began to appear in the different parts of the battlefield, with one of them behind them, surprising them both.
Donnie saw this and then rushed to the duo as he spoke, “How did you do that?” he asked, before spotting the glass shield, and notices his radar’s reading going up the roof.
“This could be it,” he said to himself, “this could be one of the gateway pieces we need!” but then Pinkie tapped the object again, and she, Luigi and Donnie wound up being transported on top of a tree.
“Wah!” cried Luigi, as he noticed where they were, and clinged on to the tree, the others following as well, “What happened?!” he asked with fright of falling.
“I think when Pinkie touched the piece, it must have transported us to a different position!” guessed Donnie, having thought of how the piece worked.
Suddenly, during the whole commotion, a whole group of warriors began to charge in, a began using nets and others devices to capture the dragons, Sonic and the others saw this as they could be allies, and helped with getting the dragons under ropes.
“Hey, thanks for the timing!” Sonic said as he was helping one of them, only for another to shout out “Dragon Riders!” before two warriors grabbed hold of the hedgehog and forced him down to the ground!
This lead to total confusion as the brutes suddenly bombarded the team, taking them by surprise; afterwards, the group (minus Donnie, Luigi and Pinkie, who all saw what happened up in the tree) was tied up and/or grabbed hold of, until the brute leader came up to them.
He looked like tall sinister man, with his right eye covered by an eye patch, he had a gold tooth sticking out from the top of his mouth and his outfit was like something of an Eskimo’s, though had a wolf hood/cloak wearing over him.
“Look what we got here, Wolfang,” said one the troops as he spoke to the leader, named Wolfang, as he smiled a very bad smile, as some of his teeth were missing or rotten, “these are the strangest bunch of riders, but they will make perfect prisoners.” The troop added, feeling proud of himself.
Wolfang looked to the group with sinister glee, as he then spoke, “You lot seem to have picked a bad place to be, getting yourselves captured by Dragon Trappers!”
Sonic looked a little ticked off at this, “Well is that your way of saying “Your welcome” after our thanks, cause it sure looks like a weird way of showing it!”
“Oh, we understand about that,” said Wolfang, as he revealed what he was doing, “we just don’t like those who would try to ruin our job of capturing dragons for our Warlords, whom are busy on rebuilding their dragon army, after losing them and Drago Bludvist to them Dragon Riders like yourselves!”
“Wait, you’re capturing these dragons to be part of an army?!” said an applaud Twilight, who didn’t realize that the dragons could be treated so badly by these so-called Dragon Trappers.
“That’s just not right, y’all!” shouted Apple Bloom, trying to defend for the fire breathing beasts, despite the earlier set back when they attacked them.
“You said it lil’ cousin!” Pinkie shouted from the tree, accidentally giving her, Donnie and Luigi away, the trappers spotted them, and threw the bolas at them, resulting them to get tied up and landing to the ground with a thud.
Wolfang then spotted the gateway piece that Luigi dropped when getting caught, and was pretty amazed, “Do you guys see this?” he asked his cronies as he picked it up, “It seems to be our lucky day, not only that we got some dragons and their riders, but we’ve bagged ourselves another fascinating crystal shield, it even looks like the shard that Ragnar found!”
After hearing that, Donnie, Gandalf and Batman got a bit of thought at what Wolfang said, until Fluttershy, having loose her fear of dragons when she realized that these brutes were mean to capture them and force them into war labor, began to scold them hard, “That’s just mean! How could you do such mean things to these dragons, they didn’t do anything bad to you!” Rom, Ram, Peashy, Plutia and even Roo agreed to the argument.
Wolfang went straight up to Fluttershy, as he pulled by the hair up to him, pointing to his eye patch as he snarled “You think I got this from a fishing accident, missy?!” this gave Fluttershy a small whimper from that outburst.
“Hey, leave her alone!!” shouted Sonic.
Though this was fallen on deaf ears as Wolfang continued, “We need these dragons, to show the world that they are monsters, Drago has the way of controlling them, so if you want your lives spared, you would have to follow him…”
“Yeah, like that’s gonna happen!” shouted Noire, “You’re just using these dragons so once your bosses takes over the world, they can get rid of you instantly!”
“Enough,” shouted Wolfang, “I grow tired of these weaklings…” he then turned away as he gave out the command, “take them back to the ship, with the dragons, the Warlords will be pleased for this!”
The Dragon Trappers began to move towards the trapped team as the struggled to escape, until Peashy shouted out to the leader, “You’re a big fat meanie!” she cried, sticking her tongue out as well.
Wolfang turned to the little girl as he scoffed, “Ha, well what are you going to do about it?”
Before he could slap her down, Peahsy used her might as she jumped up straight and then boosted herself into hard tackle, knocking the wind out of Wolfang, dropping the gateway piece in the process, much to both the Trappers and the group’s surprise!
Suddenly, before anyone could react, a strange whistling was heard, as a shadow went zooming by, “What is that?” Sonic said, as he squinted his eyes to get a good look, until the whistle went louder and shadow seemed to shoot out a blast of sorts, knocking most the bandits over.
Another shadow appeared, this time, it’s tail gave whisk, resulting something to zoom towards the Trappers, as what look like spines landed into the ground like darts, almost hitting the brutes.
The Dragon Trappers were in confusion and panic as if they realized what was happening, as the two shadows revealed themselves to be dragons, one was jet black and another looked like a reptilian version of a bird, the group was surprised to see this, but what got their attention more so was that on their backs were two young Vikings, one was young man on the jet black dragon while other was a young woman on the other one.
Soon both dragons began to attack, which some of them helped get dragons out of the traps, resulting them to be free, Wolfang saw what was happening and, deciding for now, that it would be best to explain what happened to the Warlords. They were not going to be pleased.
“Retreat! Fall back, all of ya!” shout Wolfang, as the Trappers ran off, escaping the bombardment of attacks that was coming down like rain.
After they were gone, the two dragons landed nicely on the ground, as the group was amazed for the rescue, this time it was the real one for sure.
“Well done, Toothless!” said the young man, looking very proud of his dragon, named Toothless, who was giving the boy a ground cute gummy smile for his work.
The girl meanwhile, began stroking her dragon, “Atta girl, Stormfly, great job!” she said to the dragon she called Stormfly.
“Very pleasant time, young ones.” Gandalf said, cheerfully and kind.
“Yeah,” said Neptune, “so, could you help get us out of these knots, please?”
The two riders and their dragons were a bit surprised to see these beings, for some of them, they had never seen before, but still helped with getting them out and untied of the traps.
“Gotta thank you,” said Sonic, dusting himself off, “We kind of like this type of rescue than what those bozos did…”
“Hey, not a problem,” said the young man, “though what exactly happened with you guys?”
“And what are most of you?” the young woman added as she asked, “I’ve never seen some of you before…”
“Well,” said Donnie, “through some strange turn of events, we just came here looking for our friends, who have been taking, and we ended up almost getting roasted and barbecued by these guys,” pointing to the dragons as he said that, “then we get captured ourselves along with the dragons, by what we thought was the rescue party at first, only they called themselves Dragon Trappers…”
“Oh, don’t mind the dragons,” said the boy, “I’ve a good hunch that they didn’t like anyone coming into premises, just thought you were invading the get together.”
While they talked, the dragons that attack the group were standing to attention, as they watched, while Toothless and Stormfly looked up to them, though when they saw Toothless roaring a little, as a way of communication, it would guess that they were saved by an Alpha dragon.
When the young members of the team came up to Toothless and Stormfly, the earlier suddenly began to act like a dog, as it pounced on Peashy and began licking her, resulting loads of giggles form the girl.
The Crusaders chuckled a bit and were surprised to seeing this, “Man,” said Scootaloo, “is that dragon thinking it’s some kind of dog?”
“He looks quite adorable!” shouted Rom, which Ram added “And so cute!” hearing this, Toothless came up to the girls and began snuggling them, playfully, while Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Plutia, Roo and Lumpy looked up to Stormfly with awe.
Stormfly brought her face down so the kids can give it a good scratch, which the dragon really liked.
The two dragons even went up to Fluttershy, who surprisingly, even to herself, began to comfort the kind dragons who helped them, seeing that they well different to the other dragons that she knew back home.
The others watched this in amazement that they never saw dragons like this before.
“Looks like Toothless and Stormfly have made good friends with those little ones.” Said the girl rider.
“Guess so,” said Mikey, as he then turned to the riders, “and who are you guys?”
“Well, my name is Hiccup,” said the boy, and before saying before anyone could ask he continued, “yes, that is my name, and it’s not the worst, my full name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 3rd.”
“And my name is Astrid,” said the girl, who then did tricks with her axe as she continued, “if you ever need a kind of take-an-enemy-down-with-an-axe-and-lop-it’s-head-off warrior of the Hofferson family, I’m your girl!”
Toothless then popped up between Sonic and Twilight, as he gave both a nuzzle, as Hiccup and Astrid chuckled at what they saw, “And, of course, you probably already know Toothless and Stormfly.” Sonic, after having a good giggle then turned back to the Vikings as he began his introductions.
“My name’s Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog,” he then gestured to each member as he introduced all of them, starting with Twilight, “and this here’s Twilight,” then to Amy, who waved, “Amy,” then the echidnas, “Knuckles and Shade,” then to the wizard, who bowed at his name “Gandalf the Grey,” the toys, who did a small wave of hello, “Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, Roo and Lumpy,” then towards the ninja turtles, “Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and rough-and-tough Raphael,” then moved to the CPUs, “Neptune, Nepgear, Noire, Uni, Blanc, Rom and Ram, Vert, Plutia and Peashy,” he then faced the dark knight, “the cloaked dude is Batman,” then towards the brothers, “Mario and Luigi of the Mario Bros.,” then faced the rest of the ponies, “Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle,” and finally turned over to Shadow, “and mister personality over here is Shadow.” The black hedgehog grumbled about one of the nicknames that Sonic would give him.
“A pleasure meeting you all,” said Hiccup, as he and Astrid were given a hand shake from a bizarre blue hedgehog, something that they don’t see or do everyday, “now, how about we get back home, and you can happily explain the rest of your situation.”
“I kinda certain that your dragons won’t be able to hold on to all of us…” stated Leo, until Astrid said with a chuckle.
“Oh that can be a bit arranged.” She then pointed behind the group as they turned… towards the very dragons that tried to attack them.
“Mamma Mia…” groaned a scared Luigi, realizing what they meant.
Moments later, most of the group, practically Luigi, Piglet and Donnie, were were crying in worry as they were flying on their own dragons (with exception of the others who could fly well), after some helpful training from Hiccup and Astrid, the dragons that attacked them had become their transportation to where the riders were taking them.
As they flew, they spotted that they were approaching another island, as Hiccup called out to them, “Well guys, here we are, Welcome… to the Isle of Berk!” he announced as they approached Hiccup and Astrid’s island home.
As they came closer, they saw most of the village was busy in it’s everyday life, with kids playing with baby dragons, and some of the Vikings were working with them and giving them company.
The Vikings spotted the group as they gave a wave to their returning chief and his proud second-in-command and girlfriend, as they were coming in for landing, as they did, Hiccup and Astrid gave a nice quick wave hello before getting off their dragons and preparing to find Valka, Hiccup’s mother who was presumed dead after being abducted years ago during a raid.
When the others landed, the residences of Berk were very surprised to see these new visitors, for while Gandalf fitted in well, they never expected to see the other strangers unlike any other, partically Sonic and his friends, the Mane 6 and the CMC, and even Pooh and his friends.
Meanwhile, the romantic duo arrived at their destination, a blacksmith’s shop, where Gobber the Belch was busy doing some work done, and was explained by Bucket and Mulch that Valka was there helping out.
“Mom! Gobber! We’re back!” called out Hiccup, as they and their dragons got closer, which was responded by some clanging of metal, followed by some muffled words (probably bad ones best not to mention) as Gobber came out and spotted the duo.
“Ah, there you are, where have you been?” asked the blacksmith, tidying himself up a bit.
“Kind of a long story, Gobber…” said Astrid.
“Oh, I’m sure that you two love birds were having a little get together with some private, though I guess that’s what you deserve after all the hard work around here.” Gobber guessed, leaving the two a little bit blushed at that.
“Oh, leave them be, Gobber,” said Valka, as she came over to greet them with a hug, “let them do what they like,” she added as she then spoke up to Hiccup as she said “though I hope you been talking about plans between you and my proud future daughter in-law.”
This caused Hiccup to blush even more than Astrid, who was blushing while chuckling a little, “Ah, mum…” groaned Hiccup, happily.
Soon Valka and Gobber spotted the visitors that Hiccup and Astrid brought with them as they waved hello.
“Hey mom, Gobber,” said Hiccup, “we have a few friends you would like to meet back at the Great Hall.”
As they headed over to the Hall, Donnie was still in thought, looking down to the gateway piece that they took back from the thugs, ‘That Wolfang said that this was like something that their leaders, the Warlords, had,’ he then had a small worried thought, ‘he couldn’t be refereeing to another gateway piece… could it…?’
Unknown location
The Warlords were not pleased, that was the one thing that came into Wolfang’s mind when he explained the bad news to them.
The Warlords were a part of the dangerous Dragon Hunting Army, founded by them and fellow Warlord Drago, they had been doing a fine job on forming their dragon army in hopes of ruling the world, only to be thwarted by the young chief of Berk, which resulted with most of their Dragons brought to the Dragon Riders side and Drago and their other allies meeting their terrible end.
“I can not believe what I’m hearing from you,” said Chaghatai Khan, the Warlord who resided from the far East, as he furiously turned to the new brute leader of the Dragon Trappers, ever since Eret turned his back on him since first encountering Hiccup and Drago gone, it resulted them to rebuild their army after all that trouble, they then called up one of their best minions to be the new leader, however, while he succeeded until now, the Warlords were not happy at his failure today, “you had a good lot of dragons, ready to be part of this great army, as well as some perfect prisoners, AND YOU LOST THEM ALL TO THAT DRAGON MASTER?!?!” the last part he roared, brining one of his sword to Wolfang as he felt that he was going to faint at that.
“Calm down, Khan.” Ragnar, the large, but a little bit dimwitted member of the Warlords, spoke, trying to ease the Eastern Warlord’s fury.
As Chaghatai Khan was about to walk off in anger, Wolfang remembered something, “Excuse me, sir,” Khan turned back to him, “there is something you should know, when we encountered those prisoners, they were currentl in possession of what could be a crystal shield,” this made all three Warlords lift an eyebrow at that with curiosity, “and, it could have some connection to that shard that you found sometime ago, and could have power as their’s have… perhaps to summon something for us to defeat those on Berk.” Wolfang explained, as he pointed to a staff, which on the top of it, was a crystal shard, mounted on top.
Gresilda, the only female Warlord, walked up to the staff and looked at it with thought, then smiled evilly as she turned away, “Thank you for that information,” she said to a surprised Wolfang, before drawing her own sword close to his throat, “but make sure you don’t fail us again…”.
Wolfang nodded quickly at this, as Gresilda turned to the other Warlords and the other troops as she said, “Prepare some of our ships, and set course for the nearest island possible.”
She then took hold of the staff wielding the shard as she said, “If they want to fight with whatever magic they now have… it’s time we did the same.”
