Sonic Triumph - A futuristic Sonic-FF

Prolouge - Tails Diary

My name is Miles Prower. But everyone is just calling me Tails. It has been seven years since I last heared from Eggman. Maybe he just died... If that's it, may he rest in peace... Anyway, I made an interisting discovery. I will show Sonic and the others. This may change our lives forever!

Chapter 1 - The programm
Monday - 11.12.457 - 15:34 - Mobian time
"Y'know, you sounded pretty exhausted on the phone, buddy.", Sonic smiled, as he entered Tails appartment. "What's the big matter?"
Tails went into his computer room. Several lights were blinking, wierd looking screens showed green text in even wierder letters. Tails to his friend.
"Don't touch ANYthing this time."
Sonic just raised his hands to defend himself. A familiar chuckle was heared from one corner of the room. The blue blur didn't had to turn around to know, who stood behind him.
"Shad, what a surprise. And I guess, you braught your girlfriend along?"
Shadow stepped out of the shadows, holding hands with Amy.
"Hi, Sonic.", the ebon hedgehog grined.
Amy just ignored her former heart-throb. Tails looked at al three.
"So. Now we're just waiting for-"
The door was slammed.
"-one."
The one came in. It was Cream, now 13, dressed in tight jeans, a blue mini and a red shirt. She had changed alot in the years, the main reason was obivious: Cheeses death. The poor little chao just had wanted to protect her from Eggman and now he was gone. Cream leaned her airboard to a computer and just raised her hand to greet her friends.
"Hey.", she said and let a bubble pop.
Tails just looked at her for a while.
"What?", she asked, tilting her head.
"Nevermind.", Tails sighed. "The reason, I've called you here is, that I made a great discovery. Look at this."
He turned around and clicked something on his main computer. A big holographic screen appeared in the room and showed a white egg with red and blue dots. Tails took a laser-pointer and began to tell his friends about the egg.
"What you see here, is not an ordinary picture. It's a holographic showing of a programm I found in the internet. Seemingly, it has been there for a matter of time. As I looked a week later, it grew a little. I've been watching it for two months now. Lately it's moving from time to time. I think it will soon hetch. Do you know, what that means?"
Sonic had his finger in the ear already.
"A virtual pet?"
Amy rolled her eyes and Shadow chuckled.
"No, Sonic.", Shadow said calmly. "That means, Tails discovered a KI, that will soon awake and that propably created itself. Right?"
"Not quite, Shadow, but almost right. Someone programmed this. I tried to figure it, but I guess, I will have to watch it, after it hetched. And that's where you guys could help me. I would have to watch all over, but I also have other work to do and even I have to sleep sometimes. So I would like you to watch this egg time by time and tell me, if something happens. Okay?"
Sonic grined.
"Alright, buddy, you can count on me. Sounds like something realy fun."
It was clear, he was lying. Amy and Shadow looked at each other shortly.
"Alright, we'll do it sometimes."
"Okay, Tails."
Cream let another bubble pop.
"Fine... If I don't have something else to do... on weekends or sumthin..."
Tails smiled.
"Thanks, guys."

Chapter 2 - Watch it

Wendsday - 13.12.457 - 22:04 - Mobian time
Amy was asleep. Shadow held her in his arms and let his eyes rush over her body once again. As always, she wore her school uniform of the highest class: A white shirt, a blue skirt, a blue tie and an opened white jacket. Her hair was still the same. She just grew a little. But still, Shadow was taller than her. Somehow, he actually aged. His squills had grown longer and hung a bit from their own weight. He still wore the same shoes but now fitting, black trousers. Amy had talked him into them. They were a bit oversized, so he used a black belt to keep it from falling. Shadow focusedon the egg again. It was true: It moved. Shadow didn't know why, but he had to think of Cream in this moment. She had been like that for three years now. And from what he heared from Amy, he know, she hadn't been home in quite a while. Somehow, the hedgehog felt sorry for her. She was so reserved, he was afraid, she could actually live a realy bad and senseless life...

Cream would have been in bed by now. She was only thirteen. She sat on the streets, her airboard leaning next to her on the wall. She looked up into the stars.
"What am I doing?", she asked herself loud. "My life is the last s**t. It's just sc**wed up. Damnit... I miss mum... But I can't go back by now... On the other side, it's pretty cold."
She shivered, as she realized, she sat in the cold snow. Some people walked passed her, but they ignored her. Except for one. She saw black shoes stopping in front of her, blue pants above them. Cream looked up to see Tails in a white shirt and a opened, blue tie, wrapped in a brown coat.

22:56
Tails entered the computer room.
"Anything happened?"
Shadow lay a finger on his lips and pointed at Amy, who still slept in his arms.
"It hetched.", he whispered.
Cream came in behind Tails, her board under her arm. She looked at the screen. The programm rolled all over the screen. Where the white ball has been, the letters were taken off. The white ball had several blue dots like the egg and one round, red eye. Tails typed something on the keyboard. He zoomed out and showed the server of the site, where the egg hetched. Dbay. On the site was a Mp3-Player shown. There, where the price would be, was a white hole. Cream came a bit closer.
"What's that?"
Tails sweated and made a move with his hand to make her step back. It was clear, that he was stressed. The screen went more and more white with every second. Tails let his fist hit the keyboard.
"SH*T!"
Amy woke up and almost fell. Luckily, she already was sitting.
"Shadow, ladies, we have a BIG problem!"

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

Oh, interesting. I wonder who did create the egg...

Chapter 3 - A virus!?

Thursday - 14. 12. 457 - 00:07 - Mobian time
Sonic watched the ball rushing around dBay.
"So that thing there is a virus? The programm you discovered?"
Tails nodded, still hacking on the keyboard, trying to find a way, to stop it.
"Bye science price, hello worldwide chaos.", Shadow commented.
Amy stood up.
"Can't we do anything?"
"Does watching how this thing eats the internet count as an option?"
"C'mon, buddy, it can't be that dangerous, it's just a little ball."
Tails laughed joyless.
"It gets bigger, when it eats data. We somehow have to destroy the virus."
Shadow stepped on Tails right side.
"Why don't you get it on the screen and press delete?"
"Do you think, I haven't tried that yet!? We need an anti-virus!"
Amy looked pass Sonic over to the young genius.
"What can we do?"
"Wait and see, Amy... Maybe I'll find a way. And if not... Mobius' industry system will break down."

Cream lay in Tails bed and concentrated on listening to the voices from the computer room. She just heared parts.
"...screen... press delete?"
"...tried that...!? ...anti-...!"
"...can we..."
"...find a way... break down."
That sure didn't sound good. So it realy was a virus.

00:09
"Tails, look!"
"Holy didgets! It's transforming!"
The white ball got a bit longer and got some tentacles. Six to be exact. Six white, long tentacles, less blue dots and the eye splitted into two. Big, ugly jaws ripped open under them. With the next bite, it swallowed even more data than before. Sonic grinded his teeth.
"It almost reached Goggle!"
Amy hid behind Shadow.
"It's gross..."
Something appeared in the corner of the screen. An E-Mail. Tails opened it.

Dear Mr Prower,
Thank you for setting me free. Now I'm hungry. There are a few words, I want to say. And here they are: Na, nana, nanaa!
Mockingly, Inferno Virus

"That thing means bussiness..."
"Sure does..."
"Tails?"
"Hmm?"
"There IS a possibility, right?"
Sonic and Tails looked into each others eyes for a while.
"Yes. There is. But it's too dangerous."
"Too dangerous for ME? You have to be kidding!"
"Alright then... Sonic... It's time for you to visit the cyberspace."

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

XD I can imagine what could happen...

Sonic~ *Goes into cyberspace*
Sora~ Whoa! How'd you get here?
Donald~ It must be a Heartless!!!
Sonic~ What?

XD That's just me, though. Lately my mind has been KH meeting Sonic...

Chapter 4 - Into Cyberspace

Thursday - 14.12.457 - 00:17 - Mobian time
Sonic looked at the blue device, that filled up half of his right lower arm. Tails started explaining him the functions, still a bit hasty, the time was getting short!
"It's mind-powered. When you go in, you will automazicly get an armor, but everything else, like weapons, you have to think of."
"Weapons?"
"Sure, somehow you have to destroy thatthing. We will stay in contact. If you have any problems, or if you feel wierd, we'll get you out right away."
"Just leave this to me, Tails."
"Sonic, this isn't like everything else. You could get big problems if something wents wrong. You could get lost or stuck."
"Okay, okay, I get it."
"And don't forget: Everything depends on you."
"Put no preasure."
Sonic looked at the divice.
"So how do i get in?"
He disappeared.

It felt like being ripped apart and then, after one or two seconds, being put together again. Sonic looked around. He was floating in the middle in an overdimensional white room in globe-shape. Several grey and black streams of data that looked like very long bar codes. Sonic spoke into the divice.
"Tails, were am I?"
"On my website.", he heared Tails voice.
"You have an own website?"
"That's not the topic! The virus is heading your way! Try to open a link."
Sonic floated to the wall, what actually was pretty easy. Soon, Sonic felt, that he was able to float as fast, as he would run.
"Let's see, what this thing can do."
Sonic pointed his arm at the "wall". He noticed, that his body was covered with a blue armor, that made him look way stronger. Maybe he realy was strong while being in the cyberspace. At the joints, it could be seen, that the armor was made of data: There, it flowed in bar codes.
"Sonic, what's with the holdup!?", he heared Amys voice.
"Sorry, Ames. Got a little carried away."
He pointed his divice at the wall again. The word "EXIT" was got written, a hexagon-shaped gate opened and showed some kind of digital floating-highway. He got in and rushed over to the next site. There it was: The virus! It just ate the bar codes of that site by slurping them in like spaghetti. On Sonics thinking, the divice turned into a hand canon. Sonic felt his hand disappearing in it.
"Ah!"
"Sonic! Any problems!?"
"My hand is gone!"
"Don't get crazy, it just transformed. You can't get data out of nowhere."
"Oh... yeah... Whatever... TAKE THAT, DATA MUNCHER!"
He shot a few times. Everything a few hit.

"Something's not right!", Sonics voice was heared. "I didn't work!"
The screen showed the clouds of dust disappearing. The virus was still there and it was at least Sonics height.
"It grew!", Amy yelled shocked.
Tails sighed.
"Seems, I have no choice. Shadow!"
The ebon hedgehog turned to the fox. The young genius handed him a black divice.
"Go in to back Sonic up."

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

This is getting more and more interesting. MORE!!!!!

Chapter 5 - Useless

"Any harm now?", Tails asked.
Shadow and Sonic kept there cannons set on the dust. As it cleared, Sonic just sighed and Shadow clenched his fist.
"Negativ, Tails. No harm. This thing is indestructable!"
"It can't be! Every opponent who we had to face, we defeated him! Everytime, we came up with something and- eww..."
Sonic stopped, as the virus seemed to transform into a baloon and became bigger and bigger. The globe became even more white and red, but the blue disappeared. It became some kind of cocoon, that had a wierd mask in front. But that mask happened to be a face, what the two hedgehogs realized, as two yellow eyes opened in front. Six long legs came out of the new body, three on each side. The virus now had transformed into a spider-like beast. ( ca.geocities.com/digi_josied4/images/Infermon.gif (I kow, it's ripped, so what?)) It turned to them and chuckled.
"Surprised?", it asked with a deep voice.
"Kinda.", Sonic admited.
"Well, I can't need you two bugs."
"BUGS!? YOU'RE THE SPIDER HERE!"
Shadow cleared his throat.
"Sonic. First of all, spiders aren't insects and second point: I think it means bug like a system failure."
"Indeed. You are smart ebon being. But still, you are in my way."
Some kind of mouth opened in the mask and a small gun-running appeared in it. The virus began to shot at the heroes in rapid fire. Sonic floated over to the left, Shadow to the right. The virus crawled along the walls, like a real spider would do and kept on fireing.

"Will they make it, Tails?"
"What? Getting out or crushing that thing?"
"Both."
Tails stopped for a second and looked at Amy.
"I'm sorry, but the virus is seemingly indestructable and the chances to get the two out unharmed are low."

An exit-link appeared in front of the virus. It chuckled and climbed through it. It closed. The hedgehogs panted and waited to recover. The shards, their armors got, got filled with bar codes and closed. The armors recovered themselves. Shadow looked at his cannon, that had been pretty much like junkyard, but now was shining in the light, that came from the server-core.
"Only Tails can build something like that."
"Thanks, Shadow, but you two should log out for now. I have something important to say."

Sonic sat down on the sofa, that stood in the computer room. Next to him sat Amy, who had one arm around his and one around Shadows shoulders.
//And I thought, she hated me.//, the blue blur thought for himself.
"Guys, it is even worse, than we thought.", Tails said, whiping some sweat from his forhead. "The site, where the virus transformed for the second time just now was the main-server of McRonalds. And my cameras show me, that the computers and machines in the McRonalds-Restaurants are going crazy. Y'know what that means?"
"The virus hates fast food?"
"No, Sonic, no! Just imagine what would happen, if it comes to the server of GUN."
Sonic and Shadow looked at each other. Both just knew too good, what GUN was capable of. An E-Mail reached Tils screen.

Dear bugs,
Do you like fireworks?
Mockingly, Inferno Virus

Chapter 6 - The emerald

"Do you think, we'll make it?"
"Make what?"
"I mean, do you think, we'll be at the GUN-server before the virus is there?"
"Dunno. We don't know, how fast our friend Inferno is."
"Inferno?"
"Well, he signs all his E-Mails with 'Inferno Virus'."
"Hmm... True."
The hedgehogs entered a giant site with grey walls. The G-logo was seen all over on every single file and every single bar code. The server-core shone in a blue light.
"Hey, Sonic! Look!"
Inside the shining energy-globe floated the dark-blue chaos emerald. Just as Sonic wanted to float closer, the Inferno Virus jumped in front of him and landed on the core.
"What a beautiful, shining stone. I guess, I will take it. Then I have three of them."
"I won't let you! Chaos Spear!"
The attack just pinged from the shell of the virus.
"How pathetic. I will take this stone now."
The virus sucked up the energy of the core until the emerald was close enough to grab it. It disappeared into Infernos mouth.
"Now I have to say goodbye, I have another bug like you, I have to take care of. So long, losers! Chaos Control!"
It disappeared. Sonic and Shadow looked at each other.
"Tails, you heared everything?"
"Yes, Sonic. And I cought it all on tape."
"Any idea, who this other bug is?"
"No, Sonic. But something was wierd about the Virus' way of talking."
"Betcha. He's an assho-"
"No, Sonic, listen."
Tails played the last part of the tape.
"So long, losers! Chaos Control!"
"Sonic! 'So long, losers'!"
Shadow chuckled.
"That sure sounds like good old Eggman."
"But Eggman disappeared seven years ago.", Amys voice was heared.
"Maybe he worked this seven years on the programm, the virus-egg."
"Just come back to us for now."

"Point one: Who programmed the virus-egg? Point two: What is the virus' goal? Point three: Who is the other bug? Point-"
"Point four:", Amy interrupted Tails. "Who brings Cream back home?"
Sonic and Shadow pointed at each other.
"He does it.", they said in union.

Chapter 7 - An old friend

Thursday - 14.12.457 - 02:35 - Mobian Time
While Sonic and shadow were still fighting about who would bring Cream home, two other E-Mails reached the screen.

Dear bugs,
I have taken out the other bug, I was talking about. If you want to save her life, you better hurry, before her lifedata is fading away.
Mockingly, Inferno Virus

Dear Prof. Prower,
I know, this is coming unexpected and may be a little rude, but I need your help. I send a cybernaut into the net to track down and destroy a virus, you sure have noticed aswell. But my contact to her broke and I'm afraid, her death is near. I beg you, Professor, I know you can send cybernauts aswell, I beg you, please save my dear friend Princess Blaze.
In honour, Prof. White Skale

Sonic and Shadow disappeared into the net. Tails contacted them.
"Guys, I'm as surprised and shocked as you are, but I have to track her signal down first."
"Then do it quick!", Sonic yelled. "She could die any second!"
Sonics divice made a holographic screen, that showed him, where he and where Blaze was. Not far, just a few sites, but the signal got weaker with every second. Sonic dashed as fast as he could, Shadow right behind him. He had only one thing in mind: Saving Blaze. He didn't care about how she came in, who this Professor White skale was, or what happened. he just wanted to save her. They were in the last tunnel to the site, she was in, as Shadow passed Sonic and stopped him.
"Sonic! This could be a trap! The second E-Mail could have also been written by the virus!"
"And what if not!? What if she realy is hurt!? What if she realy could die!?"
"Sonic-!"
Sonics left hand turned into a cannon.
"Don't stand in my way, Shadow."
Shadow floated aside. Sonic dashed into the next site. It were dark inside. The core had almost vanished. Just a bit light fell on the cat, that floated in the room, unconscious.Blaze wore just parts of a purple armor, on her lower arms and lower legs. The divice on her wrist was almost like the once, Tails built, just with another symbol. The rest of her body was covered by a realy tight, light-purple rubber-suit, that reached up to her nose, so that it covered her mouth and cheeks. Sonic floated over to her. He felt his heart beeting faster. His cannon transformed back to his normal hand. Sonic pulled the suit from her mouth and felt her pulse. His heart jumped.
"She's alive.", he said to Shadow, who already hovered next to him.
Shadow nodded.
"Tails, we got her, get us outta here."

Blaze looked even worse in her normal outfit. She was bleeding everywhere, where before the data streamed out. And that was on many spots. Tails exaimed her and said afterwards, she'd be okay, she just had to rest for a while. He sat down to write back at Prof. White.

Dear Prof. Skale,
My cybernauts found Blaze and brought her here. She will be okay. In the meantime, we could try to get a video-comunication.
In honour, Prof. Miles Prower

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

XD That was funny, the way Sonic and Shadow were fighting over who would take Cream home. Why not have Amy or find and get Knuckles to do it?

Chapter 8 - Troubles waking up

Thursday - 14.12.457 - 04:57 - Mobian time
Blaze moaned. She heared several sounds in her head. Laughter, crushing, voices... one voice became stronger and pushed everything else away. She knew that voice. But that was impossible. Sonic?
"I think, she's waking up."
Blaze opened her eyes a bit. they hurt. She lay on a big couch, her suit was gone, back to her normal clothes, that were all bloody. Pain rushed through her limbs, as she sat up a bit.
"No. Lay down. you're badly hurt."
Again that voice, that sounded like Sonic. She lay down again. Another voice called.
"The virus is moving to the GUN main-server again."
It sounded a bit familiar, but Blaze couldn't say, who it was.
"I thought, he broke it down?", a dark voice asked.
Again. Who was that? It sounded like... Shadow?
"Not quite. I think the missles and some other weapon data are still-"
"Missles!?"
"You know, what that means, Shad!? The virus is going to fire them!"
Virus? Wasn't White the only one, who knew about it, before he told Bruce and Blaze herself? The only one else, who would be smart enough would be... Tails?
"Let's go in! We don't have much time!"
Going in? Other cybernauts? Blazes eyes hurt a bit less. She opened them to see something blue. It was a hedgehog, who kneeled next to her. No doubt, it was Sonic. But how was that possible? In a bit distance, she saw an holographic screen, just like the one, White build. In front of it sat Tails, just way older, then the princess remembered him. An ebon hedgehog, Shadow, stood next to him, looking at the screen. On the couch, next to Blaze, sat Amy. Blaze moaned again and raised her head.
"What... happened...?"

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

Very interesting. Is it possible you would pull Silver in?

[splitter]

Maybe, he'll join, maybe he'll not XD I won't just tell you

[Tania "Windwatcher" Sky]

XD I figured that bit out. It would be cool if he was, though.
