Sonic Forces: Game of Hearts

It was a calm day in Hil Top Zone, Zaran and Ruby were busy fixing up there Windmill, a nasty storm had damged the blades the day before, so they were now up on ladders welding the holes shut. Tough work...but nothing they couldn't handle. "As soon as we sell the next batch of Red Rings, We need to look into replacing this old thing with a more sturdy one" Zaran told Ruby, who nodded back with a smile. "Agreed, though I was actually thinking I could try making one out of Orimantium, I think a thin enough layer should be Light enough." "Well If it meams we won't have to do this again, then tinker away Honey~." Zaran replied with a smile. There chat was cut off by the sound of a familiar Engine. Both Look up to see the Tornado coming there way....with a Trail of Smoke...Zaran's face goes Pale. "HE'S NOT SLOWING DOWN HE'S GONNA CRASH!" Ruby said panicking. In a Flash Zaran vanishes and reappears ontop of the Biplane. Tails is out cold and looks really banged up. "Damn, who did this to him?!" Zaran thinks as he gets his Cousin free and leaps off the plane leaving it to crash nearby. Ruby Helps Zaran get the Young Fox inside, and they lay him on the couch. They both head to the kitchen "Zaran can you call Sonic, he's gonna want to know about this." The White Echidna asked as she grabbed a bowl of water and a Washcloth, and went back to Tails. Zaran doesn't even reply, already getting out his Chatter Ring and tossing it to activate it. The ring expands and begins to chime softly as it waits for a responce...after about 10 seconds the ring drops to floor... "No answer" Zaran thought, a chill going up his spine. He knows Sonic, and be never ignores a chatter ring call...somthing must be wrong. Zaran returns to the living room, where Ruby is ringing out the washcloth and laying it across Tails' forehead. "What did Sonic say?" Ruby asked as she checked Tails over. Zaran scratches his head, "He...He didn't answer."  Zaran's Response Startles Ruby greatly. "H-He Didn't!? Thats not like Sonic at all." Zaran nods in agreement.."I think I'm gonna go out and investigate, from the trajectory  it looks like Tails came from his Mystic Ruins Shop." Ruby nods. "I'll go check out the Tornado when I'm done with Tails...he isn't too banged up, but he looks like he was wailed on..." Zaran scowls "well if there still there. they're gonna get Wailed on right back." The Fox Punches his hand to make his point, Ruby Smiles. "I'll give you a ring if Tails comes to before you get back okay, Please be careful. Zaran Nods. "I promise, don't worry honey I'll be okay.~♡" And with that Zaran Vanishes in a flash of green energy. "I always worry..." Ruby said, a hint of worry welling up in her heart. _____________________________________________ Zaran arrived at the Mystic Ruins instantly standing atop the old train station. Zaran looked to his left to see a Shocking Sight. Tails' lab was in shambles with thick black smoke bellowing skyward, it looked like a bomb hit it. "Damn...What happened."  Zaran said irritated. Zaran ran over and climbed the stairs upto the workshops remains. Quite a said sight, the front door lay on the ground in two pieces, the windows blown out and the whole of the upper floor was gone, likely Collapsed in the fire, the Turbine attached to the side Stood still for the first time Zaran can remember, the pool full of debri. Zaran stepped in, the first thing he noticed was the Windows were blown out, but the door layed inward, meaning someone had broke it down...and could still be here. Imediately Zaran closed his eyes and reached out feeling the chaos energy around him feeling for a pressence...He felt none. "They must of left after Tails escaped." The Silver Fox thought as he looked around for evidence or clues as to who did it. He scanned every inch of the wreckage...but no clues. "The Fire probably covered up any evidence...Guess I'll just have to get the info from Tails when he wakes u-" Zaran faultered "Wait...The water in the pool should of evaporated from the Intense heat...why was it fu-" The wall Zaran was facing suddenly blew out as he was slammed hard in the chest and sent flying backwards. Zaran Catches himself as an Liquid Limb suddenly comes at him, the Fox barely ducking and doing a quick spindash to roll out of the Lab to get into the open. "Alright whats the big Idea! You the one that attacked Tai-" Zaran was dumbfounded as the Liquid form of Chaos, the Ancient Goddess of Chaos, guardian of The Chao, and a Very close friend of his loomed out of the dust, eyes narrowed into an angry Glare, and a strange Purple Aura emanating from her. "L-...L-LADY CHAOS!?! What are you doing here?! Zaran asked Confused. The Water Creature doesn't respond instead slowing starting to lurch towards him. Zaran's mind quickly reregisters the facts."That purple Aura isn't normal for Chaos, Chaos wouldn't journey this far from Angel Island, and the biggest plot hole, Chaos is currently Fused with his little Stepsister Tikal as Tikaos, as she has been for the last 2000 years....meaning who ever this is...is clearly not Chaos. And the fact that someone is impersonating her REALLY ticks Zaran off. "I don't know who you think you are....But you have alot of nerve posing as a goddess, and disgracing her name! The Fake Chaos Suddenly whips its arm at Zaran, but he easily sidesteps it and lunges forward to wail on the imposters head...only to suddenly be caught in a Closeline by a large thick Red arm as a huge Red and Black Creature grabs Zaran and Tosses him hard to the ground. Zaran shakes his head trying to regain his senses. "What on Mobiu-" Zaran is interrupted as the Creature grabs him by the tail and whips him around slamming him into the ground hard, then does so again, and again, before Zaran just gets annoyed. As the brute brings him down again, Zaran catches himself and is quick to whip his tail side to side slamming the brute back  and forth until finally snapping his tail like a whip and launching the beast away. Giving Zaran a moment to get to his feet in time to dodge another whip attack from The Fake Chaos. "What on earth is going here?! How'd I not sense either if these guys?! And How is there a fake Chaos?!" Zaran thought. Getting a better look at the second Attacker he recognizes him as one of the Zeti Tails and Sonic dealt with on the Lost Hex. He was red with a black head and lower half, with a long red Tail and large Black horns, If Zaran recalls his name was Zavok. "Your Quite Powerful for a Mobian."  Zavok stated applauding Zaran. The Grey Fox crosses his arms. "Thanks...I think...So tell me, are you both fake? or Just the Chaos Copy?" Zavok Scoffs "I'm afraid we're both very much re-" Zaran interrupts. "Yeah don't lie to me, I know Chaos, she's a good friend of mine, and that isn't her, Eggman couldn't control her if he tried. Zavok doesn't reply instead he spews hot plasma from his mouth, Which Zaran leaps over before Running at the two Imposters, Zavok and Chaos both attempt to attack him, but collide with one another, Zaran then proceeds to Kick Zavok into Chaos before Letting loose a Chaos Bolt into the Water beast Zapping both of them, Chaos falls to the ground in a puddle, But Zavok stays standing an angry look in his eye. "SLIPPERY CREATURE!!!" Zavok Wails on Zaran Hard knocking him a few Yards away, but he Lands on his feet and Stretches. "Pretty tough for a Faker, I heard the Real Zavok is pretty cunning, you seem more muscle then brain." Zaran said taunting The Red Zeti. "I assure you I'm an excellent stratagist, for example this is called a distraction." Zavok replies with a smirk. Zaran suddnely finds himself being absorbed into the Fake Chaos, he tries to struggle but Chaos's Surface tension is to strong, Zavok walts over and proceeds to Wail on the trapped Fox like a Punching bag. Zaran tries to get out to the best of his abilites but between the lack of air and Zavok's punching he can barely think, Finally Zavok punches Zaran clean in the Gut knocking him out of Chaos, the little Wind he had left out of his lungs, and his Ribs out of place. Zaran Groans as he tries to catch his breath but the pain is making it hard to breath. Zavok grabs him by the Neck, adding to Zaran's breathing problem. "You were strong, we could of used a power like yours but still we will in the end, Chaos...Drown him." Chaos grabs Zaran by the head and encases it in a bubble of Water, Zaran tries to free himself, but the lack of air is making him lose consciousness fast. A few last words comes to Zaran's mind "T-Tikaos...Help me..please.." Suddenly Zaran is dropped to the ground, he quickly inhales a huge gulp of air ignoring the pain in his chest. "Zaran! Get up!!" Zaran looked up and suprise washes over his face, The Fake Chaos was being put into a Famous Knuckles clan Headlock, by none other then Tikaos herself!. "Are you alright Zaran?" Tikaos asked as she strained to hold her imposter. "I Am...Now...ribs hurt..but I'll live" Zaran said with a relieved smile on his muzzle. "NOT FOR LONG" Zaran looks up to see Zavok coming down on him with a Pile driver, which Zaran rolls out of the way of, and gets to his feet on one motion, Zaran then thrusts out his chest, with a sickening pop as his Ribs are realigned, he imediatly Screams in agony, blood coming up from his throat, but Air imedialty is brought in as Zaran struggles to get his lungs reinflated. Zavok comes at him but Zaran mangaes to Side dodge and grip the Zeti buy his tail, with a firm Yank he Knocks Zavok on his stomach, and then Zaran begins to twirl him around and around, faster and Faster before letting fly. "SO LONG" Zaran shouted. Zavok goes flying over the edge of the cliff his shouting in frustration going silent. Zaran takes deep breaths falling to his knees. "One *pant* Down...One to *wheezes* one to go!" What Zaran doesn't notice is that above them a strange little drone with a pink gem in it is watching them closely. _____________________________________________ Orbot, a small red Robot enters Eggman's Chambers "um...D-Doctor.." Eggman is Skipping around giddy as a school girl. "I DID IT!!! I BEAT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!! HO HO HO HO!!!! I WON I WON I WON!!!!! Orbot rolls his eyes, "Sir we have a situation...also it's been almost 3 hours...we all know you beat Son-" A Book smacks against Orbots head as Eggman Scowls. "I CAN GLOAT AS LONG AS I WISH YOU BOLT BRAIN, IT'S A SPECIAL OCCASION!! " Orbot groans as he rebalances himself. "Y-Yes sir...but...The phantom drone you sent out after Tails...it's issuing a distress signal...apparently the Phantom Zavok it created has..*ulp*...been defeated. Eggman freezes up and slowly turns to Orbot. "WHAT?! HOW, WHEN, BY WHO?!?" Orbot "pulls up the recording The drone took, on the screen a Grey Fox with blue hair is seen tossing Zavok off the cliff. "SO LONG" the fox shouts. Eggmans blood starts to boil. "I should of known that fox would of went to Zaran...and whos the girl the Phantom Chaos is fighting?" Orbot shrugs. "Unfortunately we have no ID on her....but she definatley seems dangerous in herself...and the scans say she has a Huge Chaos power like Zaran. Those words imediately put the Doctor on Edge. "Orbot, Get Infinite to the bridge...and get our Newest recruit aswell...this will be a perfect opportunity to test her." Orbot sighs and floats off, Leaving Eggman to himself. "I finally dealt with the biggest roadblock to My dream, I won't let anyone else Get in my way! _____________________________________________ The Elevator stops and Orbot floats off and down the Corridor, till he stops at a Door, He politely Knocks on it and waits. He hears a soft voice reply. "Just a Second." The door opens and a Pink Echidna Woman steps out and looks at The Round Robot. "Oh Orbot, Good Afternoon." The Echidna Said with a Smile, kneeling down to be eye level with him. "What can I do for you?" Orbot Clears his "throat" and gestures towards the elevator. "The Doctor would like you to meet him on deck, we have an Assignment for you. The Echidna Smiles and pats his head. "Oh of course, I'll be up in just abit." Orbot bows his head then leaves, the door sliding shut behind him, Leaving Sky to breath a sigh to herself. The Pink Echidna walks over to her Dresser, laying there is a brush that she takes to her dreads swiftly and smoothly, the teeth passing through her beautiful Hair with no resistance, after she finishes she sets the brush down then admires herself, her neat and smooth Dreads, her Beautiful Smile, and the warm glow from her eyes brings a proud smile on her face. "Perfect~♡ best not keep the Good Doctor Waiting." Sky Happily turns to head to the door as she reaches for the scanner she stops remembering somthing the Doctor asked of her. She hesitantly turns around and returns to the dresser mirror. Sky opens a drawer to her left and takes out a small container of Black Eye Shadow, she unsceews the top and takes the small brush out and begins to apply it, she has to apply a thick layer to mask the pink of her skin, after finishing she takes another look at Her reflection. Even with the unseetling black around her eyes, her bright eyes still shine through, it makes her smile....but she knows the doctor won't approve...She recalls what the Doctor told her. "Dearest Sky, I ask that you wear this for your own protection, My enemies will not give you any mercy if they think your weak, Not that you are Mind you, But they may try to deceive you, tell you untruths to blind you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if they managed to manipulate you and use you in some way, wearing this will help you look more intimidating, you must be stern and emotionless with them or they'll walk all over you."  Robotnik's Words burned into Sky's mind, she looked up at the mirror and gives Herself a flat serious expression, Her eyes dulling. "There...I hope The Doctor was right about this." Sky thought as She marched out of the room and to the elevator. End of Act 1
