Kid Goku: We’re back!!! It’s another brand new adventure of Sonic GX coming at ya!
Ulala: Umm, Allen….I’m sorry for what happened yesterday….it was wrong.
Kid Goku: It’s alright. I hope you are enjoying your time back at my place.
Ulala: I am indeed.
Sophie: Are you ok, Allen? You fell on your head pretty badly.
Kid Goku: Yeah, I’m fi….wait a second….WHO ARE YOU?!
Sophie: You’ll find out soon enough. Our narrator today is none other than….Yugi Muto!
Yugi: Alright, let the next chapter begin!
Yugi: Last time on Sonic GX, the City of Amaria was in panic by the attack of Ulala Deviluke, the Princess of the Doom Dimension’s underworld. Everyone in the DPU tried their hardest to keep her from reaching the Dimensional Orb, but to no avail. Well…everyone but Allen, of course. He was scouring the dimensions to search for his missing Keyblade, which according to him, was the only way to cancel out the power of the Chaos Emeralds. But, unknown to his knowledge, XANA attacked him through the Aelitatrix! How is that even possible? Things were looking bleak for The Aelitatrix Bearer, and it only got worse when XANA drew out the hidden evil side of Allen, which is now Arufunu the Shadow. Now, Allen is in a whole new dimension, with no idea of where he is or how to get home. What will happen now? We find out…today! We rejoin Allen, who is still unconscious from his fall….
‘….Where am I? ….Did that fall really do me in? Am I dead?’, Allen thought to himself, drifting in a sea of unconscious black.
“Hey. Can you hear me? Hello? Wake up!”, a voice rang out. A bright light shined in front of Allen as he drifted towards it. He groaned as his eyes opened up, noticing he was in a unknown room.
“W-where am I?”, Allen said, trying to sit up. He fell back in pain as he clutched his forehead. “Ow, my head hurts!”
“Take it easy, kid. That was a nasty fall you took.”, a sweet voice said. Allen looked up to see a nurse looking down at him. What made him take a double take was when he noticed the nurse was a rabbit.
“W-where am I?”, Allen asked the nurse. She calmly replied, “The Royal Palace of Mobodoon.”
When Allen heard that name, he was entirely flabbergasted. ‘Mobodoon!? That’s the home of Queen Aleena Hedgehog and the birthplace of Sonic, Manic, and Sonia. But, the Aelitatrix specifically said that this dimension has yet to be discovered, so how can this place be Mobodoon?’, Allen thought. He asked the nurse politely, “Excuse me. If this is Mobodoon, then this must be the residence of Queen Aleena Hedgehog, is it not?”
The nurse chuckled slightly from the question. “It is the home of the royal Hedgehog family, but not Queen Aleena. This is the home of HRM, King Sonic Maurice Hedgehog and Queen Sally Alicia Acorn-Hedgehog.” The nurse replied. “They sit here at the highest rank of power as King and Queen of Planet Mobius.”
Allen’s eyes flew wide open when he heard that. “WHAT?! King Sonic? Queen Sally?! Wha…what about Dr. Eggman?”, he asked.
“Silly boy, Dr. Eggman has been locked away in a strait jacket at the Mobius Asylum for the Criminally Insane over 20 years ago since King Sonic’s last battle against him. We live in a time of peace now…well….that’s what I would like to say.”, the nurse said. Allen took a good look at the nurse again, getting a flash of worried yellow eyes.
“Those eyes…I recognize those eyes. Bunnie?”, Allen said softly, looking at the rabbit a lot more. “Bunnie Rabbot D’Coolette?”
“Just call me Bunnie, sugah. As you can see, I no longer am half-robot.”, said Bunnie, showing her right arm, completely un-roboticized.
“Amazing…wait, what did you mean when things aren’t at peace? If Eggman is in the Asylum, shouldn’t the Great War be over?”, Allen asked.
“No. A greater evil that is far superior to that of Dr. Eggman has awakened not too long ago. He has taken the eldest of His Majesty’s children, Princess Sophie, captive. And the second eldest, Princess Melissa has been MIA for quite some time.”, Bunnie said.
“Melissa?” ,Allen asked.
“She prefers being called Tailsko around here.”, Bunnie said. Allen gasped loudly when he heard that name and clapped his hand to his mouth. Bunnie looked at him with a concerned look and asked, “What is it, sugah?”
“T-Tailsko…is a Princess?”, Allen asked.”
“Yes. It sounds like you know her.”, Bunnie said. Allen blurted out, “I do know her! I’m married to her!”
“Did I hear correctly? You know Tailsko?”, a voice rang out from the door. When Bunnie looked, she hopped to attention and bowed slightly.
“King Sonic! When did you get here?”
“SONIC?!”, Allen said, looking towards the door of the nurses’ office and spotted Sonic sporting royal garb.
“And what do you know? We have the famous Aelitatrix Bearer amongst us. How’s your head, man?”, King Sonic asked.
“It hurts, but it’ll be fine. So, Tailsko is your daughter here. Surprise, surprise.”, Allen responded. “I take it that Sophie was kidnapped by Snively Kintobor?”
“No. The person who has my daughter prisoner is Ixis Naugus, the Creator of the Void. He is the reason why Queen Sal’s father, King Maximillion Acorn, was missing for all this time.”, Sonic said.
“Naugus!? How’d he even escape?!”, Allen said.
“We believe it was when Dr. Eggman lost his sanity that allowed him to do it. Since he, who is the last remaining remnant of Dr. Ivo Robotnik who was running the Void after betraying Naugus, has lost what was left of his mind, it probably broke his control of the Void as well.”, Sonic continued.
“Allowing Naugus to escape.”, said another voice from the door. Allen looked around Sonic and saluted to the person who walked in: Queen Sally.
“It’s a pleasure to see you, Your Majesty.”, Allen said.
“The same goes to you, Allen. You could be of great help to us as of now.”, Sally said.
“Help? Why, what do I need to do?”, Allen asked.
“Well, as Sonic has already said, our daughter Sophie was kidnapped by Ixis Naugus not too long ago. We would like you to go and rescue her. We shall reward you handsomely if you bring her back safely.”, Sally said.
“No reward is necessary, but I will go and save her. But first things first….is there anyway a guy can get a chili dog around here?”, Allen said, his stomach growling slightly.
“Allen, you just read my mind!”, Sonic said. He whistled loudly, and a butler came in holding a large dish of chili dogs. “Go on, eat your fill.”
“Oh, I will!”, Allen said, already scarfing down 2 chili dogs.
Yugi: So, Allen stayed and ate his fill of the chili dogs, which happened to be ten full dishes later, and tied up his shoes. Sonic actually laughed at how big Allen’s appetite was, and was surprised there was someone else that loved chili dogs possibly more than he did. With a clink of his Millennium Puzzle and a strong wind whipping within the room, Allen was off to save the Princess. He was running along the country road when Yami intervened in his thoughts…
“So, off to save the Princess, huh?”, Yami asked, floating beside Allen as he ran.
“Yep. That’s the plan. It should be easy to find this Ixis Naugus guy too.”, said Allen, when he came to a screeching halt.
“What’s the problem, Allen? Why’d you stop?”, Yami asked.
“I just realized that I have NO IDEA what this Ixis Naugus guy look like. The name is familiar, but I just can’t place a face.”, Allen said, crossing his arms and standing in the road deep in thought. “Have any ideas, Yami?”
“Not a clue. But, I do know this. Where there is smoke in this world, there is often trouble near.”, said Yami, pointing in the direction of the Great Forest. Allen stood to his feet and tilted his head slightly. He knew about the Great Forest and how it harbored the secret location of Knothole Village, but even he knew that Dr. Robotnik had destroyed the Village during the Great War around the time Sonic was still a kid. So, there had to be someone who was making the smoke.
“Let’s check it out, Yami. I don’t like the looks of this.”, said Allen, jogging towards the entrance of the forest.
Yugi: So, the two went off into the Great Forest, hoping to shed some light on the mystery that was right in front of them. Further and further they walked, until finally they heard voices in front of them. Allen ducked behind a tree for safety, and looked around to see who it was…
“So, do you really think that we can find her, Sandy?”, a pink hedgehog said, holding a spear and clad in black and purple ninja clothing.
“I don’t know, Mimi. All we can do is hope for the best. Rumor is floating around that Naugus is keeping Princess Sophie captive in Robotropolis somewhere. The question is where…”, the squirrel said.
‘Those two look like Amy Rose and Sally Acorn from Sonic’s past!’, Allen thought to Yami.
‘Yes. Maybe they are related to them?’, Yami replied.
‘I don’t know, but they are talking about Sophie…I wonder if there is a way to get closer….’, Allen replied. He moved his foot slightly, and stepped on a tree branch, making it snap it two. The noise alerted the two females in the forest clearing, and they immediately picked up their weapons.
“Alright, who’s there?! Come on out before we come in after you!”, Sandy said, keeping her sword at the ready.
‘Uh-oh. Busted!’, Allen thought, stepping out from behind the tree. “H-hey, guys.”, he said innocently, only to have a spear pointed right at his Adam’s apple.
“We don’t take too kindly to Overlanders, kid. I suggest you start talking, and make it fast.”, Mimi said.
“Easy, now. You wouldn’t attack someone on your side now, would you?”, Allen said, moving the spear away from his throat.
“Our side? What do you mean?”, Sandy said.
“By order of their Royal Majesties, King Sonic and Queen Sally, I was sent out to find Princess Sophie and bring Ixis Naugus to justice. I am Allen Henegan, the Aelitatrix Bearer.”, Allen said to the females. They both gasped as they lowered their weapons.
“You are the Aelitatrix Bearer?”, Sandy said, looking at Allen directly in the eyes. “Eh, I imagined that you were taller.”
“How rude!”, Allen said in a type of whine. “Anyway, I am trying to get some leads on where Ixis Naugus was last seen. Got anything that could point me into the right direction?’
“Well, we heard that Ixis Naugus was hiding out in the old abandoned Robotropolis on the other side of Mobius….”, Sandy started, only for Mimi to finish.
“…But that place has been off-limits to all Mobians since Dr. Eggman was last reported to the mental facility, which of course, he escaped from.”, Mimi said. “It is said that Naugus and Eggman are working together as of now, but the chances are highly unlikely, since Eggman is a robotic version of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who had sealed Naugus into the Void, a world of his own creation about 30 years ago.”
“I see. So, you say Robotropolis is the best place for me to check?”, Allen asked.
“That’s right. That’s the only lead we got.”, Sandy said.
“In that case, I am UP, OVER, and Gone to save the Princess!”, said Allen, running superfast out of the woods to the city of Robotropolis.
‘Robotropolis….it’s been a while since we last saw that place, hasn’t it, Allen?’, Yami asked.
‘You’re right, Yami. It was when we helped Nori rescue his parents in Sonic’s past that we last were there.’, Allen replied to the Spirit. ‘But do not forget, this is Sonic’s future, and from what it sounds like, Eggman has gotten even worse than he was back in my time.’
‘Still, this “Void” place troubles me. It could be dangerous if we let Naugus stick around any longer. So, we need to do this as quickly as possible.’, Yami said.
‘Not a problem!’, Allen replied, moving even faster down the country road.
Yugi: Faster and faster Allen ran, the surrounding area starting to turn dark and cold. Shards of discarded metal plates and rotting garbage surrounded the entire area. The ground grew darker as he noticed it was still fresh with the oils of all of Eggman’s and Robotnik’s evil. Finally, he took a step on a metal road as he entered into the Forbidden City. A city in which he hoped he would never see still standing…
“Well, this is it: the entrance to Robotropolis. I better make this quick.”, Allen said to himself. He was about to run into the inner depths of the city, when someone yelled “STOP! Don’t go in there!” Allen fell flat on his face, it getting covered in soot and sludge. He felt someone pick him up and wipe his face clean. Allen’s jaw dropped when he saw it was Snively Robotnik, Dr. Robotnik’s nephew.
“Snively? What the?”, Allen said. “Why did you stop me?”
“It’s not safe to go into the city anymore. It’s best if you turn around and go back home, Henegan.”, Snively said, leaning on a staff. Allen noticed he was wearing a lot of tattered clothing.
“As if it was safe before. I can’t waste time here. Princess Sophie is in there, and I’m gonna find her.”, Allen said confidently.
“Why don’t you use your head for something else other than landing on, you stupid boy? Dr. Eggman is in there waiting for someone to cross his path to bring devastation and destruction to, and then there is Ixis Naugus, who uses his magic on anyone that even comes close to Robotnik Manor. Do you honestly think you can get through that in one piece?”, Snively said.
“With luck, skill, and speed on my side, I got no worries. Later, Snively!”, Allen said, running deeply into the depths of the city.
Yugi: So, Allen looked to his left and to his right, keeping his eyes peeled for any sudden movements. He knew how sneaky things are in Robotropolis at night, and with Eggman careening on the edge of insanity, he had to be extremely careful.
Allen looked up to the top of Robotnik Manor, tilting his head slightly as if he was looking deep into the building. “Alright, then, this’ll be easy. All I gotta do is go in, defeat Ixis Naugus, and save the princess. Simple as pie.”, he said to himself. Yami was silent when he sensed something coming towards Allen extremely fast. “Allen, dodge!”, Yami said, and Allen moved immediately to his right, dodging a rather large robotic scorpion tail.
“Drat! How could I have missed that miserable creature?!”, a familiar voice said from behind. Allen turned to see Dr. Eggman, in his usual attire, but he noticed that his clothing was rather ragged, and his dark shades were missing. What really freaked him out was that his moustache was a lot shorter than normal, as if he had ripped part of them off.
“Whoa, Eggman, love the new look. It’s really giving you the psychotic look in your eyes a stronger force.”, Allen said, taunting Eggman as
always.
“Just keep your snide remarks to yourself, you immature brat!”, Eggman snapped back at Allen, launching his Egg Scorpion’s tail at Allen again. Allen caught it in his hands and looked at Eggman with a goofy grin. “You may have lost it, but your strategy is still as predictable as always!”, Allen retorted.
“I wouldn’t get too confident. Your hands are paying the price for it as they are being eaten by the acid in the stinger of the tail!”, Eggman said.
“ACID?!”, Allen said, letting go of the scorpion tail and eyeing his burnt hands. “OWW!!! ….Never have you done something like that, Egghead!”
“SHUT UP!!!”, Eggman said, making the robot attack even faster. Allen yelped as he dodged the attacks, trying not to get hit.
“Allen, let me take over! I can take Eggman down with one move!”, Yami said in Allen’s head. ‘No, Yami. I can handle this. Watch!’, Allen replied, turning into Shadow the Hedgehog with his Aelitatrix very quickly. “Time to be defeated once again, Eggman! Chaos Blade Wreaker ATTACK!!!”, Allen said in Shadow’s voice. In one swift movement, he ran towards Eggman, summoned a Chaos Spear, and used a Shadow Spin Dash to slash up his robot to pieces. Eggman dropped to the ground, slamming his fists into the dirt. He yelled loudly as if he was in pain. Allen turned back to himself, then noticed Eggman’s strange reaction. “H-Hey….Dr. Eggman? Are you alright, man?”
“Why?! WHY CAN’T I WIN?!”, Eggman yelled, actually landing a hard punch on Allen’s face. Allen rubbed his cheek, surprised that Eggman was able to do that. “I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU, AELITATRIX BEARER!!!!”
Allen’s eyes widened as Eggman’s anger kept growing. For the first time ever, he felt sorry for Dr. Eggman. Never in his life has he seen someone so angry, yet suffer in so much pain. “Julian….”, Allen said, using Dr. Eggman’s real name, before turning away and walking into Robotnik Manor. Yami appeared beside Allen as he walked down the hallways of the abandoned building and said, “Allen? Are you alright?”
“I just feel sorry for him, Yami. He’s lost EVERYTHING now. Sure, Mobius is a better place to live now that his mind has left for parts unknown, but what does he have left? His nephew left him, he has lost complete control over Mobius, and now he has lost his mind.”, Allen said softly.
“Remember, Allen: this is an alternate version of Sonic’s future. The events here are only what are expected to happen, but it is the future. It is not written in stone, so it may not happen.”, Yami said.
“You’re right….”, Allen said.
“Allen, keep your mind alert. I’m sensing that our target is right in front of us.”, Yami continued.
“Right you are, gentlemen! Right you are!”, said a raspy voice from a room in front of us. Allen instantly remembered it as the control room of the entire fortress, so he walked in cautiously. He stood on the bridge of the room and said, “Naugus! Come on out! You know why I am here: release Princess Sophie, and turn yourself in!”
“Ahh…..Allen Henegan…..the name of legend….the Aelitatrix Bearer has come to make his demands in my humble abode….and yet, he has the nerve to order me when he is truly outmatched.”, Naugus said, his voice seeming to come from all directions of the room. The chair sitting in the middle of the room spun around, and a man that seemed to be a mix of a rhino, a lobster, and a troll sat in front of him.
“You?! You’re Ixis Naugus? But it can’t be!”, Allen said.
“Ah, so it seems you know of me. It seems that your world has….intense knowledge of our world. Tell me…what do you know of me?”, Naugus said, breathing heavily.
“Only that Dr. Robotnik had trapped you in your own creation, the Void a.k.a The Special Zone a long time ago, only to escape for a few minutes thanks to Sonic’s speed. It was only then did you realize that you couldn’t stay outside the Void, or your body would turn into crystal and you will inevitably die. You weren’t the only victim to that problem, only he was lucky to escape unharmed.”, Allen said.
“Yes….Maximillion Acorn….a fine man in his time as King…..but then, that miserable hedgehog filled his shoes….”, Naugus said, snapping his claw on the chair, and Sonic’s daughter Sophie appeared on the railing below him, dangling over a pit of acid.
“Sophie! Hang in there, I’ll save you!” ,Allen said, about to jump over the railing.
“Stop! One move, and my magic will sever the rope that is keeping her dangling over the acid. Or maybe I can robotcize her right on the spot.”, Naugus said.
Allen growled slightly as he looked back at Naugus. “What is it that you want anyway, Naugus?”, Allen said.
“What is rightfully mine, child: the power to take over this universe. I knew that you were gonna be the one sent out to retrieve the King’s daughter. It would allow me to get closer to the power I need to begin my plan.”, Naugus said, using his magic to draw Allen closer to him. He caught Allen’s right arm in a vicegrip, and eyed the Aelitatrix on his wrist.
“My Aelitatrix?!”, Allen said, trying to snatch his hand out of Naugus’ claw, but to no avail. “You honestly think it’ll work for you?”
“No, but you can work it for me, Henegan.”, Naugus said.
“Not on your life, Naugus! I’d never betray Sonic like that, or the Planet of Mobius!”, Allen said, finally snatching out of Naugus’ reach.
“Well…it seems like you made your decision, boy.”, Naugus said, using his magic to levitate Sophie in the air, right to where Allen could see tears flowing down her green eyes.
“P-Please….help me….”, she said softly.
“All you had to do was said yes, but of course, you went the noble way.”, Naugus said. A crooked grin appeared on his face. “Now say goodbye to the Princess!!!”, he said, letting go of his magical grip on her.
Allen’s heart sank as he saw her drop rapidly towards the acid. “You butcher!”, Allen said, blasting Naugus with a ki blast before lunging off the bridge after her. By the skin of his teeth, he was able to keep her from searing a single spine on her body due to the acid below.
“What?! What miraculous speed this youth have! How is it possible?!”, Naugus said, looking below to see if Allen and Sophie’s bodies were floating in the acid. “Hmm….maybe that acid ate them a lot quicker than I thought.”
“Guess again, Naugus!”, Allen said, floating behind him with Sophie in his arms. “How dare you try to harm an innocent life just to achieve your selfish ambitions, Naugus!”, he continued, placing her onto the bridge gently. “You shall pay for all the trouble that you have caused here.”
“Heh, what a brave boy….you know what? I think it would be best if I clear the air around here. A person like you should really learn when to stop when he is ahead.”, Naugus said, his entire body glowing. “You shall die today, Henegan!”
“Now, Allen?”, Yami asked.
“Now!”, Allen said, the DPU symbol glowing brightly on his forehead. His eyes closed as Yami quickly switched places with Allen. “So, it’s game time, Naugus! Come at me!”
“As you wish!”, said Naugus, launching a fireball at Yami’s head.
Yami was able to deflect the fireball, but Naugus was able to enlarge his claw and slam it down onto Yami’s head. “Gah! Watch where you are aiming that thing, will ya?! Kamehameha!!!”, Yami said, firing a Kamehameha Wave at Naugus, pushing him back towards the railing of the bridge.
“Are you honestly trying to push me into the acid?! You’ll have to do better than that, Henegan!”, said Naugus, making the bridge slippery with a sheet of ice. Yami slipped to his feet as he hung onto the rail, looking up at Naugus with an angry look in his eyes.
Naugus looked at Yami as he laughed over him. “Pharaoh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh. It seems that without a good grip on the floor, you can’t even stand. Too bad, but it looks like I win.”, said Naugus, bringing his claw down towards Yami’s neck.
“Wrong!”, said Yami, catching Naugus by the claw with his legs.
“What?! Let me go!”, Naugus said, trying to wrench his arm out of Yami’s grip. Yami clenched onto him tighter as he lifted him up into the air.
“Here’s a message from King Sonic, Naugus: YOU LOSE!!!”, Yami said, launching up into the air, flipping Naugus down into the vat of acid.
“No! You can’t do this to me! Aggggghhh!!!!”, Naugus yelled, melting rather quickly in the acid. Yami looked down at Naugus’ skeleton, before returning to Sophie. He picked her up and launched out through the ceiling, flying rather quickly to the Hedgehog Kingdom.
“Thank you, Allen.”, Sophie said, looking down with a slight blush.
“Hey, it’s what I do best. But, tell me something: why didn’t your father come after you? Why me?”, Yami asked.
“W-well…you see….it’s a royal tradition in my mother’s side of the family….”, Sophie said. She leaned up and whispered into Yami’s ear, telling him something that sent him into slight shock.
“What?! MARRIAGE!? AGAIN?!”, Yami said, stopping suddenly.
Yugi: You guessed correctly, everyone. According to royal tradition, any female who is of royal blood who has been saved from death has to marry the one who rescued her. In this case: Allen is now Princess Sophie’s betrothed. By the time Yami had returned with Sophie to the palace, him and her was instantly wed on the spot. Sonic was able to contact Tails in Allen’s dimension to send Herbie, since they had all of Sophie’s belongings already packed and ready to go.
“Well, Sophie? Shall we go home?”, Yami said, opening the passenger seat for Sophie.
She smiled and said, “Let’s go home, my husband. We got a new day ahead of us.” She climbed into the passenger seat of Herbie, waiting for Yami to drive them back home.
Yami hopped into the driver’s seat and tapped the driving wheel of Herbie. “Let’s go, Herbie.”, he said.
“Alright! Next stop, The City of Amaria!”, Herbie said, shooting off into the Dimensional Rift.
Yugi: Meanwhile, back at Robotnik Manor, we find a threatening shadow lingering in the command room….
“Hmm…..Ixis Naugus was a fool to think he can actually go against the Aelitatrix Bearer head on. But I, on the other hand, have a far better plan in store for him.”, said Arufunu, using the supercomputer in the lab to look up some information. “Ah, The Dimensional Orb and Dimensional Key…items of pure legend that can only be found inside the DPU Headquarters. Only the Aelitatrix Bearer can go into the section of the building that holds these items. ….So, a room in which only the Aelitatrix Bearer can enter, huh? And the Dimensional Orb and Key is rumored to be the items that helped form the Dimensional Rift. Very interesting indeed. Well, Henegan, your victory against Ixis Naugus may have you satisfied right now, but now IT’S MY TURN. Prepare yourself, Dimensional Protection Unit. The Aelitatrix Bearer will die, and the multiverse shall be NO MORE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
Yugi: What could Arufunu be planning? Why is he certain that this will be the END of the DPU and the Aelitatrix Bearer? Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of Sonic GX!
Kid Goku: Another great chapter to a close! And now, it’s time to get serious, for now it is coming down to the final chapters of Sonic GX.
