Sonic: I should have not come here, why cant i help people in Damn peace.
Sonic is currently standing on the corpse of the Rumbler and being gunned down from all directions, to understand what is going on we need to go back a few minutes.
- few minutes ago, nearby the battle zone-
Sonic: They seem to be getting their asses beat up by that giant, that gotta be the most ugly thing i have seen in a while. *leans closer to the edge* it looks as if someone mix mashed a bunch of molten scrap and called it a day... * recoils a little* Ooo that got to have hurt.
The mecha was now laying down on the ground after losing both a leg and a arm, the pilot room ejected alongside the main power core and flew back to the wall like a bowling bowl, The pilot carlos jumped out of the pilot seat with a rifle in hand while pressing a button on a detonator.
the pilotless mech that is sprawled onto the ground rises up again, a pair of thrusters appearing on its back, it launched itself towards the rumbler and clutched onto it's leg and blew up in a grand explosion that shook everything.
Sonic: I guess that is one way to handle such a ugly guy... but that is not enough.
The Rumbler comes out from the cloud of smoke, one leg and the other ankle shattered to bits in the explosion but it was sure as hell was still moving. Like a gorilla, it used its bulky arms as pistons and lunged at the pilot the mech who yelped in horror.
Having predicted this outcome already, Sonic warped into the battle like a mid game illegal reinforcement, using his fast speed he grabs the pilot by the back of the neck and escaped the slam just before it hit.
Carlos: huh? I AM ALIVE, I LIV- *low voice shrilled scream* A ALLOYAN? EAT THI-
The ungrateful idiot pilot aimed his weapon towards Sonic who grew annoyed and threw the pilot straight towards one of the vehicles, the pilot crashed straight through the window and into the half tank, half truck vehicle with a thud, the Rumbler screams in anger before launching itself towards Sonic again.
being the risk lover Sonic was, he didn't dodge but rather turned and shot towards the catapulted giant with a smile, jumps up, and avoided the attack by only a few inches.
Sonic: Dumbass, you should have crawled instead. * amplified his physical strength and kicked the giant mid air * It's a all you can eat feast, bite the curb.
The giant crashed face first thanks to Sonic's kicks, Sonic quickly lands and turns around to find himself in middle of the crossfire with bullets flying like a flock of birds, he prones himself in a crater while hoping someone didn't throw a grenade or something while he channels the chaos energy.
Sonic: Hmm? * notices a sword of medium length with a razor blue burning edge beside him* This will do me some good for now. *quickly spins and dashes for the sword at high speed and grabs it amidst the bullet storm*
like a dart, Sonic shifts his directions and ran straight towards the Alloyans with heavy weaponry, they look at him all confused until he slashed through a bunch of them with the sword at high speed, the heavy weapons misfire among themselves as the explosion devours most of the alloyan heavy soldier in a burst of heat as Sonic uses the explosion to slip away.
But luck was not on his side as he saw the Rumbler heading straight for him and already in front of him, Sonic's quick instincts help me quickly react as he instinctively warps a few meters away above and barely dodged the crash.
Sonic: I WILL KILL YOU FAT PUNK, EAT THIS. *stabs the sword towards the center where a single middle level Alloyan was* Should have listened when i told you to crawl instead.
Sonic barely had a moment of relief before the Giant fell and he fell on top of it, the soldiers however didn't give him a moment of silence as becomes a literal walking hit me sign for them, he leapt away and barely managed to reach a alley where he found a soldier tending to his wounds.
Sonic: umm hello there, *bends down to dodge a bullet and knocked out the soldier with a hit from the sword hilt* Why do everyone have no sense of enemy and friend in this place? i don't remember mobius housing only idiots.
He grabs the soldier and tugs it on top of his shoulder while grabbing onto the sword with other hand and quickly left the battlefield.
A few minutes later, From the top of a building some distance away, Sonic looks at the victorious soldiers transferring the corpses of the alloyans away packed up in a truck like garbage. The gates open as the trucks pass through the way they came from and the clean up of the place officially begins.
Finding the fight over after his assistance and maybe a little bit of show off, Sonic decided to remove any sort of tracker from the soldier's body who supposingly was a young boy and avoided any misunderstandings. After he ensured there was nothing, he made his way to the shelter again to rest from all the exhaustion he has pilled up
*****
???: * Lazy groining* am i in heaven? did i die already? I haven't even gotten a spouse or girlfriend yet i am died already. * shifts the pillow and again proceeds to nap while sobbing*
Sonic however is looking at the lazy soldier who has been sleeping for the past 10 hours, he almost begins steaming from anger as the soldiers talks about going back to a nap.
Sonic almost broke the bed in rage but calmed himself down with some slow breathing, he picked up the lazy bum by the hand and dragged him away from the furniture.
The next moment the idiotic embodiment of sloth was being beat up by Sonic with a bit of music to go along with the mood, The soldier however didn't even melt and grew even crazier.
Sonic: *picks him by the collar* YOU'RE ALIVE YOU MORON (HUE HUE)
???: Is this my punishment for all those years of pointless gambling? Talking to a alloyan in hell?
This time even Sonic could not contain himself and warped them both out the shelter, The soldier looks around all confused before being given a pistol and left alone in the middle of the park.
???: Eh? Wasn't I dead? And why is this alloyan looking so ma- OOF.
The soldiers flew away like a ragdoll after a kick to the chest and rolled like wheel before breaking through a tree nearby.
Sonic followed behind, picking him up each time before landing another kick and kept going until over a dozen trees fell under his rage.
The soldier however seems be dying from pain, his body creeking at every movement like a rotten bridge.
???: God save me from this hell, I am dying a second time.
Just when the soldier was twitching out, Sonic brought him back in and in front of the white board.
Sonic: This communication problem is so damn annoying, i would have to carry around a book at this rate. *Writes on the whiteboard*
???: *reading the message* I ain't dead? Now what sort of mockery is this? I wish t- urgh *recieved a punch to the face* STOP, i surrender.
After that, Sonic asked a series of questions to the soldiers through the whiteboard but nothing too confidential or classified but just small common knowledge.
He wrote them on the white board with the marker and reanalysised it, the things were-
1. The alloyans were result of a mutation in Metal virus after a small portion survived the cleaning he did years ago.
2. The first generation of alloyans or converts were basically metalified Mobians and the master emerald was also fragmented with half being taken by alloyans.
3. When the second wave of the virus started, He himself was ambushed first and presumably killed in a feast by a virus slime and his corpse taken. It has been 16 years since the second wave.
4. Then emerged the adapters, a notable bunch who developed a immunity against the virus and evolved beyond a normal mobian, visible by their ability to use chaos energy.
5. The Adapter's ability is dependent on his personality, trauma and memories and strengths and evolves itself overtime alongside the user, once awakened it is permanent until evolved.
6. There is also a branch called shift where a extreme trauma or change in personality may change the structure of the ability after occurance.
7. And lastly, Some of his old friends and buds were unable to survive the second wave like knuckles and vector had died and converted while the survivors managed to fight back and rose in the social ladder as leaders.
Sonic: I wonder if they managed to survive too, I sure hope they do.
???: 'Is this guy in thought? Good chance.' *grabs the pistol he had* 'Die you piece of metal.'
The soldier spent no time aiming at Sonic and fired but his movements are very easy to read, Sonic stopped time for a split second and quickly arrived behind him.
With a quick chop to the neck, the soldier fell to his knees Unconscious, Sonic grabbed him and left to get rid of him.

-Sphinx Command center, 7th city of mobius-
A rather free willer young rabbit was jumping around as she made her way towards a office on lowest floor of the building.
Wearing a army uniform alongside a light vest followed by a small yellow cap on her head, the rabbit barges into the room with a smile on her face.
Cream: BROTHER TAILS, stop staying in this office and do some exercise for once.
Prowler: First of all, I am your senior here so talk to me formally, and second of all.. I did my share of workout early morning.
Cream: Ye ye, You have grown so lame after all these years, I want my happy brother back.*circles around and takes a peek at the computer* What are you looking for?
Tails: Just some tweaks in my blueprint, just the no-
Another soldier with a white suit that defines him as a network and communication specialist comes in after knocking.
Kelger: Soldier Kelger reporting to your excellence *salute* We have gotten new information of the new target sir.
Cream: Target? Did some new guy pop up among the enemies? I was hoping for some action anyway.
Prowler: Calm down cream *turns to the soldier* say the report, I want a full detailed version.
Kelger: Yes sir.. He was spotted at gate 8890 at a firefight between a middle level alloyan and the garrison, through the soldier attacked him as well he didn't fight back and instead helped them fight alloyans.
Cream: A alloyan fighting other alloyans? That's not new, they have quite the berserk ones ever now or then.
Kelger: Major Cream, the target saved the pilot of the garrison mech and didn't attack any of the soldiers as well. We ha-*the earpiece rang slightly* Yes, are you sure? I see.. I understand.
Prowler: New info? From which branch?
Kelger: The same gate, One of the missing 1st class private of gate 8890 returned with some interesting information.
Cream: *hand on her chin* Hmmm. Is it about some hideout or something?
Prowler: *annoyed* Cream, can you let him complete the report first?. Carry on kelger.
Kelger: as you wish, The soldier was found to be beat up from on a light level by the target, he said that the blue hedgehog alloyan asked him basic questions regarding the second wave and history of 13 years ago.
Cream: Blue hedgehog? *Turns to tails* Is it what I think it is? Is it Brother Sonic?
Kelger: One second major cream, there was another thing the report said, the soldier saw a bunch of notes on a board but only remembered a few key words. Illusion, magic, fake, lost and finally restore.
Prowler: I see.. have that soldier sent to solitary for a week for opening his mouth to a alloyan but as a training and not a punishment.
Kelger: Understood. *Turns around and leaves*
Cream: I got a lot of questions brother.
Prowler: and I have got a lot as well, want a big explanation or a small one?
