Fankids Character Charts [1/3]

The kids!! The first 7 out of all the kids getting charts!!! They're going to be divided in three groups because they're too many kiddos now lol.

More detailed info under the cut!

Emmie: Sonadow kid, the one who got my fankid train started! Also, the first Tube Baby! (Here's three posts about it: One, two, three).

Her full name is Emily (meaning "rival"), however, everyone just calls her Emmie (out of universe explanation + in universe explanation).

She has Black Arms DNA, but it's uncertain the lenghts it's effects have on her. They know she had green blood (first shown here) and has access to the Hivemind, which as a baby she used to communicate with Shadow (first shown here), but as she grew older she stopped using it, and now finds it harder to access it.

She, of course, also has Chaos Energy. She has super speed and can perform Chaos Control (here) and turn Super (first shown here), but her super form is highly unstable and quickly becomes similar to Sonic's "Super Fleetway" form (here).

Emmie uses her trusty yoyo to fight (here), complementing her powers and ability in a way to extend the reach of her attacks, rope in her enemies, etc.

Listen to Emmie's Spotify playlist here!!

Sparks: The oldest of my Blazamy kids, and first Belly Baby in the lineup (here's context).

Sparks has fire powers, similar to Blaze's, though they find them a bit harder to control. They get Blaze, Knuckles and Espio's help to learn to use said powers, since they require a lot of training. Also, again, quite like Blaze, they can turn into Burning Sparks (here), but this form drains their energy pretty fast.

Since Blaze is a princess, Amy, Sparks and Tulip do acquire royalty related tiltes, however, they're very informal and don't hold that much power due to Blaze not wanting them to have any responsability simply because they're related to her. Despite this, Sparks does end up becoming ruler of the Sol Dimension later in the timeline, but by their own volution.

They use a fire sword to fight (here). It would be a simple sword, but they infuse it with their powers for it to become this flaming version of the weapon.

Listen to Sparks' Spotify playlist here!!

Lash: The oldest of my Scourgiona kids and your local surprise baby representation.

Her main ability is acrobatics, and she has some sort of super speed but it's quite weak compared to Emmie's.

She has both mommy and daddy issues, and spends most of her time at Aim's house, although she grew up with Mareep, Glamour and Stumble. She has two older siblings, and at first she didn't have much of a relationship with them, since they're younger than her and much closer to each other, but eventually Lash steps in and tries to be a part of her siblings' life like their parents should've been.

She starts as more of a "villain", taking the role of your local mean girl next to Mareep and the others, and has a bit of friction with the rest of the kids, but as she starts hanging out more with Aim and Spades, she begins to let that attitude go and tries to be better, eventually joining the Restoration.

Listen to Lash's Spotify playlist here!!

Aim: Whispangle kid, selectively mute, and a Belly Baby.

He does archery, which is their main fighting technique, however, during battle, they also use their tail to move around faster and will occasionally team up with Whisper's wisps.

He does not speak, at all, but the others just seem to understand him without him even needing sign language or anything. Also finally giving it a name rather than just saying 'he doesn't speak', they're selectively mute! So yay for it finally having a name!

Listen to Aim's Spotify playlist here!!

Bria: Sonina (Sonia x Mina) Belly Baby! Making them Emmie's younger cousin.

They don't fight much, rather serving to give hope and high spirits to those around her! But of course, living in the universe they live in, they know martial arts just in case it's needed, and as self defense.

Even though Bria's hard of hearing, his biggest passion is music. She plays piano and guitar, piano being his main instrument.

Listen to Bria's Spotify playlist here!!

Tulip: The youngest of my Blazamy siblings, also a Belly Baby (in universe explanation here).

He hasn't shown any special ability yet, which is something that bothers him. Because of this, he isn't allowed to be around the other kids when there's danger, but he's very sneaky and often gets things to work in his favor anyway (in some strange way, he always knows what to do to get what's best for his interests, hm...)

He has an interest in tarot cards, like Amy, and in these sorts of magic related topics.

Listen to Tulip's Spotify playlist here!!

Destiny: One and only Code Baby! And Sallicole kid. She's an AI similar to Nicole, but with more advanced and sophisticated technology.

Being an AI, she can easily hack into robots and computers, which helps during battle.

They usually take the leader role very naturally, immediately making a plan on the spot and guiding the rest of the group thanks to her rational thinking nature. However, she's quite shy which makes things a bit difficult for her, her confident side mainly showing when assuming the role of the leader, or when fighting for things they're passionate about.

Destiny is president and leader or a smaller section of the Restoration, which is the training and formation for teenagers. This is where she shines her brightest, leading this group on missions and making their plans of action, as well as organizing their training schedule.

Intro Post

Greetings, I am the princess of the Sol Empire, but you may refer to me as Blaze the Cat.

I have been informed of my friends' presence here on tumblr and wished to participate as well. Sonic, Amy and Cream have shown me how to start up this blog.

Things to know:

Blaze is ageless, I gave up on keeping track on everyone's ages, she like around 18ish physically ig

Suggestive stuff.. is acceptable but also if you try anything with blaze you will be smited

I do not mind talking about darker topics but will try to deviate away from the topic for it seems to me what the character would do depending on the situation

There will be cursing, cannot say how much but if the roleplay escalates a lot, so will the amount of cursing

There might be personal headcanons and/or assumptions about this character made by the roleplayer but please understand I'm acting her character out the best I can

Anons and OCs are welcomed here

Open to shipping

Will add on to this if necessary

The Tangleification of Whisper

aka a catchy title for my musings on how Whisper's characterization has changed overall across IDW - and to bring up some thoughts on what it might imply that Whisper is given this clear resemblance to Tangle herself.

If you haven't read the 2024 winter annual yet, this post does contain panels lifted from that -- read at your own risk.

First of all, let's look at where Whisper started - what she was like before the 'Tangleification' - so you can see how big a change it is from one section to the other. I do understand that 'characterization marches on' and being free to re-evaluate and adjust a character's interpretation over time can fine-tune a story into becoming something greater - but I will also try to explain why this specific character evolution is significant to my eyes, and implications it carries.

We first meet Whisper in Issue #8, where she displays pretty clear signs of avoiding people not just to keep to herself, but because of social anxiety. She trails Sonic and supports him from afar, but as soon as they notice her she gives up her immediate goal and leaps away to lose their attention:

And from Silver's comments, she was evidently this evasive for the entirety of the Forces war:

With the benefit of hindsight and retroactive application of motive, one might assume Whisper was keeping out of sight so Mimic would continue to believe she was dead and not track after her, but seeing how she acts in these and the next issues (at least, her appearances before Tangle & Whisper), that's definitely not the initial aims with her character.

Whisper shows no reservations besides her own displayed social anxiety to the idea of joining with someone else as a team, or affiliating herself with them. If Mimic was a thing in Whisper's story at this time, she wouldn't be smiling at the idea, she'd still have the same reservations she brings up later with Tangle.

Additionally, the way other characters behave around and address Whisper reinforce the idea that this aversion to company is an issue of anxiety or discomfort: that Whisper is definitively introverted and likes to operate alone (besides the wisps), instead of being forced to.

One of the bigger reasons I want to resurface this initial characterization of Whisper is because it is so interesting to have a member of the cast who IS genuinely introverted and doesn't want to deal with a large number of people. Even the more antisocial/lone wolf of Sonic's friends are that way because they simply don't connect or see a reason to become close to other people, not because it bothers them in particular.

Whisper, at this point, is a very unique example of someone shy still involving themselves in the fight, instead of the more common bombastic or loud personalities. Espio is probably the only other 'quiet' character, and that's still different because he isn't really 'shy'.

Then we see a little change in Tangle & Whisper, upon first being introduced to the idea that Whisper's current quiet personality is due to personal trauma and not simply a facet of the person she is, in seeing her pre-trauma personality be more enthusiastic. (BIG EDIT: I could elaborate more in a separate addition, but pre-T&W, Whisper is seen smiling far often than in T&W proper - so this is relegating the smiling to pre-trauma, instead of adding smiling at all - but the enthusiasm is new!)

This is every line of dialogue we see from pre-trauma Whisper in Tangle & Whisper. We can see only two panels where she's smiling; in one, with her eyes wide open, and in the other, with her eyes closed as is more typical of Whisper as she was introduced. The other three panels only contain dialogue, which does allow some inferences on Whisper's demeanor and personality.

This 2-panel sequence has the most information to speculate off - Whisper makes a statement in two parts. The particular decision to make "Tank inbound." a separate separate sentence implies it is spoken tersely, or while Whisper is in 'mission-focus', and less likely with a playful tone. This then contrasts her "Never mind!" and giggle in the next panel, building an impression that she's typically got a serious focus (at least while on a mission), but lets humor leak through when things go their way.

The other thing to note is that these panels are a very limited sample set, and the visual appearances are biased - when expressing gratitude to someone, or taking a group picture, it's only natural to put a smile on, even if you don't typically smile most of the time. We also only see Whisper around individuals she's already familiar with, so there's not necessarily any proof that at this point Whisper doesn't have any social anxiety, or that she would necessarily conflict with her earlier appearances around Sonic and Silver and everyone else.

So while Tangle & Whisper introduced the idea of Whisper being louder before losing her teammates, it's the 2024 annual that REALLY dials it up:

Whisper not whispering in the slightest, and in fact being a motormouth!

Whisper with wide eyes and/or a smile in virtually every panel she appears in, and thriving while in the thick of the group or having one of the others' attention on her, and...

...Whisper pulling this specific expression, which quite resembles the expression Tangle made while also seeing someone else display a really cool power they have.

It's almost strange to me, because we do have a good reason for Whisper to become more outgoing and outspoken... but that's in the present time period due to Tangle's influence, not necessarily her pre-trauma self!

The choice to rebuild Whisper as someone as inherently extroverted and attention-loving as Tangle also builds a comparison between the two: the idea that they started out so similarly, you can't help but wonder if the implication given is that Tangle going through Whisper's situation would result in the same personality developments, because Whisper's quiet personality is retroactively attributed to the trauma she gained, instead of being her natural personality.

Personally, I'm very fond of the characterization Whisper has closer to her introduction, and I would find it boring to effectively reduce her and Tangle to the same base personality, give or take tail powers and some trauma, instead of leaving them as distinct people at core: that even if they had gone through the same experiences, they'd still come out a little different, but they strive to understand and work with each other anyways.

...I've also got a meta-gripe in that you can write Whisper positively with Tangle's traits, but Tangle's in the thick of getting judged for having them...

[team-chaotix-week]

As celebration for the upcoming week, may I ask what would you vision of a possible chaotix game be like? Story-wise, mystery-wise, character-wise.

Oh, this is such a fun question!

I must admit, I'm very partial to the idea of a point-and-click detective game, maybe something in a similar style to TMOSTH.

The game would open with the Chaotix in the main room of the agency, and suddenly the door would burst open as a client comes rushing in (maybe this could be done in a similar way to the cutscenes in the storybook games). The client is frazzled, and desperate for help.

I don't know what the mystery would be, but from there in would be really intereseting if the game let you explore all three perspectives. Vector's missions could be more inquiry and deduction based, while Espio's are more about being sneaky, gaining information and clues while being stealthy. And then for Charmy, maybe he could start out following Vector but then branch off to do his own investigation. Reallistically, he sees things diffrently than the other two, maybe he spots something Vector missed and follows the trail, or maybe he notices some kids in the area and gets information that way.

Then they all come together back at agency and Vector pulls out The Board. From there, the player needs to look at all the clues and information gathered, sniff out any red herrings or missleading information (no Charmy, the cool looking rock you found was not a clue) and figure out whodunit.

And if not a point-and-click game, I think a game in a somewhat similar style to LA Noir, where the story is divided into multiple cases, during which players need to investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects and witnesses. Then depending on the players success at the above activites, it impacts how much of each case's story is revealed and whether or not you have the right clues, or enough information to find the suspect or whatever it is the case needs found out. This style would allow us to play the characters in a 3D world, let us solve multiple cases, and actually get to use their fighting styles and stuff. ...Look maybe I just want to sneak around as an invisible Espio, or get to Stinger Attack someone as Charmy, or use Vector's yell? to break down a door. 

The cases could be as simple as 'Oh no, Froggy is missing again!' to something a bit more heavy.

I shared this question with my friend and this was his reply, which could be a case as well: "I say the Sonic team is missing and they gotta figure out why and who done it"

Also, it would be cool to explore the characters dynamics with each other some more, especially in more serious or intense situations. Get to see how Charmy reacts to something a bit diffrent than their usual case, maybe explore Espio's guilt that he seems partial to (metal virus arc, or in a later case he apologises for failing and seems really distraught by it (that panel will probably go up next month)). See how Vector handles it all as well.

But all this is wishful thinking unfortunatly.

Thank you for the question! This was fun to think about

Sorry the post got a little long lol

[true-blue-sonic]

Curious to know the difference between Espilver & Silvaze for you (personally I definitely entirely disagree that Espilver is Silvaze but gay 😭)

I must say I've never heard of that statement before myself, though my gut feeling is also that they are not just "the exact same ship with a different person", so to say. It is mostly because Espio and Blaze have quite some differences in personality that affect their interactions with Silver, but I feel like the fact Silver's personality has notable differences between his '06 and Rivals 2 appearances also has an influence on it. And as I wrote this post, I also noted some things about Blaze's personality in '06.

So let's unpack all that, haha! I can understand why at first glance, it's easy to see Blaze and Espio as characters who are mostly just "the same". For example, they're both portrayed as the straight men of the bunch: for Blaze clearly seen in Rush Adventure, where she starts out rather irritable, dismissive, and unamused of Marine, and for Espio with his focused and strength-obsessed attitude compared to Vector and Charmy's goofing around and bickering. Both of them are driven and heavily disciplined, are notably stoic amidst the more zany other members of the cast, work swiftly towards goals, seem more introverted and alright with doing things solitarily, have the occasional moment of wit and snark, can certainly get flustered, and possess a strong desire for justice, among other traits.

But there's also differences between them. Blaze's withdrawal from others came from the pressure she put on herself and 'always having been alone' because of her pyrokinesis, whereas Espio's solitary attitude seems more like an informed attribute to me. Wherever he goes, the Chaotix usually are not far behind, and when he does go solo it's apparently either to go train and hone his skills or because Vector sent him out for a mission. Espio thus doesn't at all seem to have any of the self-loathing Blaze used to have in her pressuring herself: I would say that for him it seems more like a self-imposed desire to become more powerful, which he seems to tackle masterfully and with a level attitude. Blaze also has much more of a temper on her, which makes her easily riled up; Espio meanwhile has a burning desire to snuff out evil, but keeps a calm head throughout. None of these are really traits that affect Silver, but I find it noteworthy to point them out.

But.... to be quite honest, what makes this ask rather difficult for me is that Blaze in '06 doesn't have much to do, which I believe is a common fandom complaint. Silver is the only one to ever acknowledge her, and her role mostly just is to be a satellite around him who keeps him on-track and gives him encouragement and tips. There's very little of her Rush personality (hot-headed, awkward about making friends but getting better at it, not good at accepting help which carries on a bit still in Rush Adventure, etc.) that shows in '06, in my opinion. For example, a noteworthy trait of her in Rush is the fact that she was teased for her pyrokinesis and had high expectations of protecting the Sol Emeralds on top, which caused her to shut others out and put everything on her own shoulders. That is not an experience I would say can be skipped in Blaze's personality: it really heavily influences how she acted in Rush, and affects her to this day even after her growth. But afaik there's no mention in '06 at all of Silver positively impacting her with his apparent acceptance of her and her powers: the trait is merely informed at best, not shown. Basically all development is centered around Silver instead, where Blaze is there to help but does not develop in turn, if that makes sense? And thus, she's more of a blank slate who's very supportive of Silver and who clearly loves and appreciates him as her companion, but whose personality as we'd seen it one year prior is not really there for me. And that makes it difficult for me to objectively compare the differences between the two ships, to be quite honest.

I will readily concede that Espilver and Silvaze could have many things in common: I would say both Espio and Blaze serve as Silver's support in their respective games, where they keep him on track and help him keep up his hopeful attitude. They seem to be well-synced with him, and Silver clearly respects them both. But the main difference for me is that Silver generally is the one making the plans and handing out the orders in Rivals 2, that Espio also follows. Espio only steps in when Silver cannot do so anymore, such as when his powers are almost depleted in the canyon. Silver does not need him for any emotional support or to get advice: he already knows with certainty what he is doing. Meanwhile, though '06!Silver also feels like 'the leader' between him and Blaze for me, he seems much more dependent on Blaze for said emotional support and guidance. He turns to her when he gets stuck about the morality of hurting one person to help many, and she calms him down when he expresses frustration about being unable to defeat Iblis for good, for example. I'd say it is in such things that those little details lie for me: '06!Silver has a lot more focus on morality and world-saving, whereas Rivals!Silver's quality that stands out most is kiiiiiind of being a jerk at most times. He's got his sweet moments, also with Espio, but his temper is very noteworthy in that game; much more than it was in '06, in my opinion.

And to add to that, I feel like the '06 personalities are not carried over so much in later games. In Colours DS, Silver and Blaze start one-upping each other for a bit about how they each could have defeated Orbot and Cubot solo, which I would say fits better with Blaze's withdrawn and occasionally-awkward-and-overly-serious demeanour as seen in Rush. Silver's self-confidence and competitive attitude meanwhile is present in most of his portrayals, and thus also here... but gone are the questions about morals or him needing emotional guidance, which makes a strong part of his personality in '06 for me. Also in one Sonic Channel story, Blaze and Silver get off on the wrong foot at first, and it takes some time for them to see the value in the other being there as their actions sync. I'd say such a story and development fits the two of them better with their non-'06 personalities: Blaze is self-reliant and doesn't accept help easily still, whereas Silver has more of a temper against her at first. It's quite different from '06, where they apparently already are the best of companions and Blaze's role kind of is to give Silver support. But the main source of Silvaze content simply is that game, and there Blaze's personality is rather lacking to me compared to what we learned of her before, and Silver's personality carries more focus on his softer, younger, naive sides. Meanwhile, in the Rivals 2 games Espio offers him his help in the game proper and you can see how they affect each other afterwards, but Silver does not need Espio for emotional guidance or to answer questions about how far you can acceptably go to save a world. For me, that makes both ships just a bit different!

Everything You Know

"Transcription will show interviewer as agent Roque. Time is 0832 hours, interview room 01. Conducting interview of agent Rouge on subject of Mobians and relevant threat assessment per the interests of new administration. Also present is G.U.N. Commander"

"How much longer are you going to keep a lady waiting?"

"Um."

"Proceed, agent Roque."

"Yes sir."

"I'm all yours, hon."

"Right. Agent Rouge; you stated before that you have intel on active Mobians that G.U.N. might find useful."

"I'm the best there is."

"Various teams have already performed thorough research"

"Oh, I'm sure you have a file for everyone. Even little old me, don't you?"

". . ."

"That's our thing. But those files are still works in progress, and I think you've stalled out for a while."

". . ."

"What information do you have?"

"First, the Chaotix."

"That's an agency consisting of one Vector the crocodile, Espio the chameleon and Charmy bee."

"Frankly, the three of them together are nearly as adept at gathering intel as G.U.N.'s whole intelligence branch."

"What sort of resources do they have access to?"

"Ours make theirs look almost analog; which just speaks to how skilled they are."

". . ."

"Don't frown, Commander; I said nearly. They're not as good as me."

"And individually?"

"Vector's deceptively organized. No one would think it by looking at him, but his attention to detail is second to none. Espio can fully control his camouflage at will and claims he's a trained ninja. I've never seen him kill before, but then, most people don't see me, either."

". . ."

"And Charmy?"

"He's six."

"And?"

"He's six. What more do you want? I'm not doing a detailed report on any children."

"Does that include"

"My cutoff is seven years old."

". . .Does that include Cream the Rabbit?"

"Nauseatingly sweet. Jot that on a post-it for your files."

"All right; let's move on, then."

". . . those kids can fly carrying upwards of 400 pounds. . ."

"Excuse me?"

"Never mind, big boy. You were saying?"

"Right. Let's see. Amy Rose; her name has appeared on an impressive number of reports."

"Ha! I'm not surprised. That girl basically fears nothing, or at least no authority of any kind. She's got an odd kind of charisma that somehow draws others into helping her. Nothing like mine, of course, but I'm a bit more selective about who I work with."

"I'm seeing several counts of criminal activity here."

"All null and void per the last administration, hon. She's been good as far as the law's concerned since then. No telling how long that'll last."

"And how would you assess her through the lens of being a possible threat?"

"Hard to know; like I said, there's no telling what she might pursue next. If any of her goals brought her in contention with G.U.N. though, I doubt that would stop her trying."

"What about this friend of hers, a Big the Cat?"

"Seriously? We've got one for him? He's a teddy bear. Literally only cares about his pet frog and good fishing. He's nil as a threat to anyone except tuna."

"Okay. Just a few more"

"Let me guess. Knuckles the Echidna."

"Do you have anything on him?"

"Amateur treasure hunter. Militant, dedicated to his job; which keeps him out of most of the business we're interested in anyway, since he lives on a floating island. By my estimate, he's the strongest thing alive."

". . . !"

"Not that he can't be handled. Insofar as we'd ever need to handle a recluse."

"Is he really an echidna?"

"He seems to think so."

"Thank you. That just leaves"

"Little fox boy for last, hm?"

"Uh."

"Tails, birth name Miles Prower. The reason my cutoff age is seven; he's at least as smart as Eggman, if not more so. Kid works with less of a budget than the Chaotix and he can still build better aircraft, mechanical units and weaponry than the Doctor. If he wasn't such a goody-two-shoes, I might want to teach him a few things myself."

"That's quite a statement."

"And not a word of exaggeration."

". . ."

"That's everyone, huh, stud?"

"Actually"

"Thanks for this little date, Roque; would've been more fun with some wine and sans chaperone."

"Agent Rouge, I have to ask"

"That's me clocked out for the day, boys; you know where to find me."

"Sonic the Hedgehog."

". . ."

". . ."

"Of all active Mobians, any information on him is the highest priority. What have you got on him?"

"Commander."

"Agent Rouge."

"I believe it would be in G.U.N.'s best interest for me to keep hold of my intel on subject Sonic the Hedgehog."

". . ."

". . ."

"Very well. That will be all."

Creak.

Slam.

"Sir?"

"She's right, agent Roque; she is among our best. That's why we have a file on her in the first place."

- - - - -

Rouge sighed, rolling out her neck and flexing her wings once the door shut behind her. G.U.N. used exactly the same chairs in their interview rooms as in their interrogation cells, and they left her stiff if she sat too long.

No doubt the nerds working on a contingency plan for Sonic would be crying again tonight, but it wasn't her problem. There really wasn't much to learn about him anyway.

She could have told them that his friends-particularly the girl and his pocket genius-were the nearest he had to any kind of vulnerability or weak point, but at best it was a moot point. At worst, G.U.N. would do far more harm than good with the information.

She'd pieced together herself what Eggman must've figured out years ago:

The consequences for going after Sonic's so-called "weak points" weren't worth any prize.

Rouge tucked in her wings and made her way down the hall. All told, it hadn't been the way she wanted to spend her morning, but it'd been necessary. The new administration had been acting a little shifty toward Mobians compared to the previous.

Volunteering for a verbal report would put her-and if only by proxy, Shadow and Omega-into G.U.N.'s good-or at least neutral-books.

It'd also serve as a reminder of just how skilled she was; and how much damage she could cause on the way out if need be.

Best of all, doing so had cost her next to nothing save a few shiny tidbits.

She might've given G.U.N. all they knew about Mobians.

But she'd hardly given them all she knew.

My pitch for a Sonic game:

- Spin-off game set post-Forces, meaning you can use your old OC if you have one, or load up a new one.

- Main Plot: Trying to track down Phantom Ruby prototypes to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands, which means that you'll be seeing old villains from the Sonic franchise, and hopefully characters from other forms of Sonic media.

- Forbidden Ruby: Strongest PR prototype, with the power to permanently alter matter, meaning Eggman didn't use it out of fear of it's power, nor did he destroy it out of fear of what that could do. This is unsurprisingly the main McGuffin that the latter half of the game revolves around.

Plot:

- The first act consists of a series of missions to find weaker prototypes, scattering you across the map, into old and new zones meeting characters like Mighty and Ray, and (in a perfect world) Tangle and Whisper. These acts are supposed to be there to get you used to the controls and establish some world-building and allow the player to see what impacts the events of Forces had and establish a wider world, instead of everything revolving around Sonic. These missions also allow the player to build up their repertoire of weapons in preparation for the next act of the game.

- The Chaotix inform you that someone called 'Elizabeth' is attempting to steal the FR, and they aren't sure why. When asked, no-one knows who Elizabeth is, although Tails seems the most suspicious, almost like he knows something that he isn't telling anyone, but the rest of the cast don't seem suspicious of Tails, which allows the player to second-guess whether or not Tails is hiding something or not.

- The rest of the game is you trying to track down the FR, and find out who 'Elizabeth' is and why she wants it as well. During this you will fight some actual flat-out villains, like the Babylon Rouges and Team Hooligan. In the hub, there will be one of the Chaotix (Vector, Espio, and Charmy) who will tell you if they've made any breakthroughs with the 'Elizabeth' situation, to know about the FR location you can talk to Team Dark and Amy, who will tell you about any leads they find.

Final Act:

- Amy contacts you during a mission and informs you of the FR's location, and sends you and Sonic out to find it, telling you Tails will meet you there, though Sonic shows some confusion about why Tails would be there, but shakes it off as he trusts that Tails won't use the FR for anything.

- You make your way to the location of the FR, only to find that the only person there is Tails, who's holding the ruby with clear intent to try and use it.

- Sonic stops Tails and asks what he wants to do with the ruby, Tails has no real use for it as he has everything he needs. Sonic also brings up how he feels betrayed by Tails, and how he feels like Tails is being selfish. Rouge contacts you to ask where they are, and if they've found whoever Elizabeth is. Sonic says they haven't and asks Tails if he knows who Elizabeth is.

- Tails drops the bombshell of all bombshells on Sonic's little head. Tails is Elizabeth. She wanted to use the Forbidden Ruby's ability to alter matter to transition seamlessly, without the whole medical process.

- Tails uses the Ruby to transition, Sonic then asks her why she didn't tell them sooner, as they could've helped her, Elizabeth breaks down ranting about why she felt uncomfortable with telling them. She rants about how she didn't want to make a fuss as they would've inevitably made a very big deal about it, and she couldn't handle being the centre of their collective attention.

- Sonic comforts her as he signals you to grab the Ruby, then the three of you leave, signalling the end of the game as the credits roll. This gives Tails/Elizabeth a platform to be more present in the games as Sonic's 'little sis' as she feels more confident.

This pitch exists because Sonic Team keep teasing us with Transfem Tails bait and I'm taking it fr. Open to critique.

Hi, I’m Tiny / Mortiste! I’m an adult artist who’s been a fan of Sonic for several years! Setting this up as a temporary introduction post as well as some quick information.

General things:

- Unless stated otherwise, most characters in my art are being depicted as 18+. I don’t draw nsfw content but I DO draw horror content. Please don’t be weird about it.

- As noted above, I DO draw horror. Triggering content will be appropriately tagged with warnings. There is a chance there will be gore of your comfort character :(

- No tolerance for bigotry.

Fandom things:

- My depiction of Rosy the Rascal from the Archie comics is canon divergent because.. Well. What Archie did with Amy was wack. Still wants Scourge’s head on a platter, still cursed, not a 12 year old who’s been magically aged. 👍

- Paws and toe beans supremacy!!!!

- The Chaotix are a family unit in my interpretation, I do not ship Espio and Vector, and any art depicting them I create is not ship art.

[head---ache]

New character charts!!!

Edit: Added new info to Lash's section + Added a link to Emmie's section.

They're here!!! The only new info is in the charts themselves btw, the long text under this is the same, except very minor changes. I just thought it would be better than having to go to the old charts to read all of this.

Emmie: She's now officially the one and only Tube Baby of the group!!! I imagine Tails will later use the big fucking tube in his lab, just not for any of the kids in this group (here's three posts about it: First, second, third).

Just to quickly mention it, her full name is Emily, however, everyone in her life just calls her Emmie, because, according to her, 'it goes with her vibe' (first talked about here + in universe explanation here).

She has Black Arms DNA, and although it's uncertain how it affects her, they (Emmie and her dads) know she has green Black Arms blood (shown here) and has access to the hivemind, which as a baby she used to communicate with Shadow (here), but as she grew older she stopped using it, and now finds it harder to access to it.

She also, of course, has Chaos Energy. She can perform Chaos Control (in this one) and turn Super (that second thing they don't know until she's a teenager, shown in this comic). She also has all the abilities Sonic and Shadow share (such as spindash).

Sparks: Like I've said before, Sparks is a Belly Baby, Blaze carried (here's context).

Sparks has fire powers, similar to Blaze's, though they find it a bit harder to control. They get Blaze and Espio's help to learn to use said powers, since they require a lot of concentration. Also, again, like Blaze, they can turn into Burning Sparks (here), but that form is more unstable and drains their energy pretty fast.

I am also taking this space to clarify this about the entire family (including Tulip). Since Blaze is a princess, Amy, Sparks and Tulip do acquire royalty related titles, however, they're very informal and don't hold that much power, since Blaze didn't want them to have any responsability simply because they're related to her. So they're royalty just by name.

Lash: Another Belly Baby, your local surprise baby representation.

Like is said in her chart, her main ability is acrobatics. She also has some sort of super speed but she doesn't rely much on it.

It's not said in her chart but she has both mommy and daddy issues and is often at Aim's house. The first time she stepped into that home and Tangle and Whisper welcomed she immediately felt glued to that family (here).

She also has two younger siblings, Strike and Decay (post introducing them here), and at first she didn't have that much of a relationship with, since they're younger than her and closer to each other, and since Lash spends a lot of time away from home, however, she eventually steps in and tries to be a part of her siblings' lifes as their parents' should've been.

Aim: I finally decided that he's also a Belly Baby, mostly because the timing didn't add up, since him and Emmie are the same age and there's only one Baby Making Tube.

Like it says in their chart, he does archery, which is his main fighting technique, however, during battle they also use their tail to move around faster (otherwise he just keeps it under his cloak) and teams up with Whisper's wisps in very rare occasions.

He does not speak, unlike Whisper who simply speaks quietly. Aim doesn't speak at all, but everyone around him eventually just finds a way to understand him (because I think it's funny). He very usually is the braincell carrier of the group.

Bria: Bria's a Belly Baby as well, it just felt like something Sonia would want.

They don't have any special ability, but they did learn martial arts as a way of self defense, consdering the group of people she often is surrounded by.

Even though Bria's hard of hearing, his biggest passion is music (over being a hero). She plays piano and guitar.

He's also the extrovert of the group. The loudest and friendliest there is. (Should I also add they're Emmie's cousin?)

Tulip: I was a bit more indecisive with him, but in the end I decided to also make him a Belly Baby, because otherwise it felt weird for that to be the one thing he has in common with Emmie. (In-universe explanation here!)

He hasn't shown any special ability yet -he's the youngest of the group though, being only ten years old-, so he isn't allowed to be around the other kids when there's danger, however, he's very sneaky and often gets things to work in his favor anyways. He does have an interest in tarot though, thanks to Amy, and he also shows to have an impressive intuition.

When he's not around Sparks he is often found next to Big, probably complaining to him about something.

Destiny: One and only Code Baby!! She's basically made from the same programming as Nicole, but more advanced and sophisticated.

Being an AI herself, she can hack robots and similar things, which helps during battle. They can also get into anyone's computer if they want to (they rarely do).

She usually takes the leader role very naturally, immediately making a plan on the spot and guiding the rest of the group. However, she's quite shy (even while being an extrovert. This forms a bit of a problem for her, wanting to be around people but being too shy to do it). Her more confident side mainly showing when assuming the role of the leader. She has great friends tho, who encourage to speak up and lead:]

Spades: She's a belly baby just because of the timeline, there simply wasn't a way without changing her age to make it make sense for her to be a Tube Baby -and I like her being 16-. Unfortunately I backed myself into a corner here JSKDJSKFJWKFKS I don't have many details on how she came to be because, guess what!! There's no real way for her to be the way she is the way I want it to happen:]]] So let's just use our imagination and say that it's possible for two amab people to have a kid who's biologically related to both of them because this is a world where magic color changing hedgehogs are a thing so this isn't super crazy, okay? Okay.

Like I said in this post, Spades has trajectory manipulation, so basically she will never miss her target, and can move away whatever is thrown at her, so that's pretty handy:] She also trains with Espio, so she has a lot of his abilities. She doesn't really want to be a ninja but has many of the skills.

She's the mom of the group!!! And the braincell carrier. She is very sweet and caring, but also quiet and calculating. Her strategy is the best, and her stoic appareance makes her look a bit threatening, but she's actually a total sweetheart!!

Also about swimming!! She really likes it because she finds it relaxing. You can't hear anything underwater so she likes to close her eyes and just swim around.

She gets along with everyone in the group, but is usually hanging out with Aim and Lash:)

And that's it for the individual kids!!

Here's some other links of interest:

-2. Voice claims!!!

-3. The old charts!!

-4. Ideas for weapons:)

Final Chapter: Unnamed Sonic A.U

It was a bit of a wait, but Sonic got an update from Blaze at a Critter Garden he was finishing up. The cat ran up to his side. A smirk on her face. The builders all knew that it meant good news. They worked in groups. One finished cleaning up. One was making sure all the final touches were in place.

“So, why are you in such a grand mood?” Sonic asked, checking a list of.

“I bring news,” She said. “The robots and the generators have all shut down. Eggman has no power. He is running on auxiliaries and that won't last much longer.”

“How long?” Sonic asked.

“Not long now. Seems two of the walls of the castle have already fallen. One has taken out the lab completely.” She informed him. “The other took out the ballroom and robotics lab.”

“And the other two?”

“One is at the entrance and the other by Eggman's personal quarters. Both are leaning in on themselves.”

Sonic smirked, “good. Keep an eye on them. Once they fall, confirm we have a body.” He looked at her from the side. “Send Espio to me. He has a different job now.”

Blaze bowed and took off. Silver ran over next.

“What's going on?” He asked, worried.

“Nothing. I got good news. The castle is on backup power. Two walls have fallen into the building and two more are slowly leaning inwards as well.” He told Silver. “It won't be long now.”

“Yes! Should I start a burn pile?”

“Yes. Get all the materials and meet me at the first Chao Garden when I say. We must confirm a body was found and checked.” Sonic told him. “Besides, Espio already confirmed the computers in the castle have already fried themselves thanks to Tails.”

“It's been a long time coming.” He said, “I can't believe it is happening. It could even happen tonight.”

“Let's hope it does. I refuse to let that monster remain here.” Sonic looked up. “When the moment arrives. We can't celebrate in the morning or together.”

He looked at the people waiting for an update. He wished they could throw one big party but that would make it seem odd to his partners. They had to take this to their graves and celebrate then.

“So, when the time arrives, we honor the fallen and celebrate the death of a madman separately, but together in spirit.” Sonic raised a hand. “To the end!”

“To the end!” They cheered.

They got back to work and Sonic had them all go back home for the day. Espio was at his side with Silver taking off to move the materials as ordered.

“You summoned me?”

“I did. It's time we handled the robotized,” Sonic looked at him. “Find a weak spot. If they have any weak spots at all.”

“What do I do when I find one? I thought it would alert the bull?”

“I don't want you to take them out just yet, but we need to know how to do so in one hit.” Sonic looked at him. “I won't make their death painful.”

“Understood.” Espio ran off.

Sonic took a deep breath. It was almost done. He just hoped that it happened tonight. He wanted this to be over with. He was tired. Therapy was fine but he wouldn't heal completely knowing Eggman was around still.

“Please Time, I did all the hard work for you. Take the hint.” He whispered.

He ran back to the castle to see Amy waiting for him. She looked worried and was pacing. Seemed well timed considering he just spoke with Espio and Blaze. Did they get found out?

“Amy?”

“Oh, Sonic. Perfect timing. I heard from my spies that two people have been crossing the border lately. Have…”

“I wouldn't, won't ever and will never cross that damn thing ever again.” Sonic held his hands up.

“Tails said the same thing. I was so worried it was you and Tails but that eases my concerns. It could be some kids though.” She said, biting her nails.

“What happened to the project for the Border Wall?” He asked, walking to her side. “I figured you and Shadow had that going on.”

“It fell through. We couldn't figure out how to make it work.” She sighed. “We may have to post guards up.”

“Will they want to when it's been so quiet?” Sonic asked her. “I'm worried. Trust me, I am but Eggman hasn't been seen in months. Nor has talked to us or sent letters. He has also complained about his robots not working.”

“True. The same ones that snatched away people have been on the fritz.” Amy crossed her arms.

“Why not ask the cards?”

“I have. They just say someone is watching over us all.” Amy began to pace again. “I'm worried.”

“Please don't stress. Maria said that the baby won't be okay if you stress. What's Shadow up to?”

“At the border. Eggman called on him.” She took a deep breath. “Y'know what. You are right. Everyone, including our villagers are accounted for. My spies confirmed they are all home. Knuckles confirmed all the knights are at home.”

“Exactly. It's probably kids who come back when they realize they crossed it,” Sonic said. “It happens. It isn't exactly marked so.”

“Yeah. Hard to know until you get far enough in.” Amy held his arm. “You are right. I won't stress the baby out.”

“Please don't. I am already stressed over their health. Don't add to it.” Sonic said.

He was also stressed over the fact that apparently their trips crossing the border were known! The spies didn't get a good look, but they knew! He would have to hope that Blaze and Espio were careful. They were too close. Too close to get caught. Not now!

“Sonic, what do you want to name the baby? Shadow already has a name but what's your opinion?” Amy got him back to reality.

“What was his name?”

“Pearl. Something about…history and…a goddess related to it…” Amy waved a hand in the air.

“Oh, uh…Aphrodite. She was born after Prometheus’s d-” Amy covered Sonic's mouth.

“Please…don't repeat that part. I heard that part.” She said. “My point is…he wants to name her Pearl.”

Amy removed her hand.

“I like it.” Sonic shrugged. “He also gets final say.”

“I know…I know.” She groaned.

Sonic walked her back to their room and saw the bathroom door open. A few servants leave after preparing a bath.

“Your highness, it's ready. Sunflower and Rose scent has been added.” One bowed to her.

“Thank you,” she said. “I can't wait.”

“You bath in Sunflower scent a lot,” Sonic said.

“It's your favorite flower, right?” She asked. “Shadow uses Sunflower and Lavender.”

“Why do you two do that?” He asked.

“Because you like it. We smell Roses and Lavender on you half the time.”

“Only because you two like those smells.” He looked away.

“Come on. I wanna bathe together~” she unclipped an inhibitor.

“Uh…A-Amy, I don't…”

“Did they draw a bath already?” He heard Shadow first and then saw a hand unclip a leg inhibitor.

“Am I ever going to not pin you two?” Sonic asked.

He got a kiss on the neck and on the chest.

“Nope~” the two of them said.

Amy pulled and Shadow pushed him into the bathroom. Shadow shut and locked the door.

—-----

Sonic woke in the night when a loud noise from far away went off. He shot up and looked around. Amy and Shadow were fast asleep. Sonic got up and out of bed without waking them. He got the inhibitors on, dressed and walked out into the hall. Tails was up. The fox has heard it too. He got his brother onto his back and rushed out the castle.

He saw other people in town awake now. The sound went off again. He ran all around their side and saw no damage to any buildings. He wasn't anywhere near the sound either. It went off again and it hit him. It was from across the border. He ran to the border and stopped short of it. Silver, the builders and many others lined up. Eyes staring over it.

Sonic recognized that some were of Amy's spies. They bowed to him.

“Your majesty,” they said.

“What is happening?” Sonic asked.

“We don't know. It seems something across the border is going on. It woke everyone up. Well, almost…seems King Shadow and Queen Amy are fast asleep.”

“wel, I would order you to wake them but I am not your boss.” Sonic said. “Do what you feel is right.”

A couple left. He waited and soon saw Blaze at his side. The cat had snuck back over without being noticed.

“It is done. I confirmed it. Eggman fled into his room just as the wall fell in. Only to be crushed by the other wall. “ She whispered.

“Good and Espio?”

“Dispatching the Robotized as we speak.” She said.

“Good. Spread the word later. We have spies amongst us.” He said, making her go quiet.

He expected it to happen later, but it seems fate had other plans. Tails tapped him on the shoulder and whispered into his ear.

“Espio called. All robotized victims have been dispatched quickly and painlessly.” The fox told him. “He is heading back to the Chao Garden.”

Sonic nodded. Espio moved to let Shadow stand by him with Amy on his back.

“I was told everyone was awoken by a noise.”

Sonic shrugged, “as you see…no one dares cross so we don't know anything outside that.”

“Would you risk it if I went with you?”

Sonic paled. Even if Eggman was gone. Even if there was no longer a threat. The idea of ever going back to that side. It terrified him.

“Hey…hey, just breathe. I won't make you.,” he put Amy down. “I'll be back. Sir Knuckles.”

“Yes sire. My men are ready.” The knight nodded.

“We are investigating the noise. Everyone, head home. Rest. I'll handle this.” He looked at Amy and Sonic. “I'll be back. Promise.”

“Be safe,” Amy held his hand.

“Please.” Sonic begged.

“Always.” Shadow nodded.

He and the knights crossed and ran off. Others were escorted by Amy’s spies back to their homes. Knights that remained also helped. With two keeping guard over Sonic and Amy. Tails remained on Sonic's back.

“Did the sound wake you too?” Amy asked.

“Yeah. I heard it first. It sounded so far away too. Might be a werehog thing.” He looked at her and shrugged. “I don't remember what happens in that form.”

“I know, but you haven't hurt anyone. Just…y'know…” Amy showed a bite mark.

Sonic’s face flushed red, “Amy..”

She giggled, “what? I clearly enjoyed it enough to get it tattooed on me.” She purred.

“Mmm…Amy, please…” Sonic looked away.

“Fine, but Shadow got one of his own. Right on his-” Sonic covered her mouth.

“Please. I beg you. I am good.” He said.

She giggled at him again. Muffled and he could feel her smiling. It just made him more red. Freaks, both of them. How could they enjoy that so much?! Steps had them look across the border to see they were already back.

“So soon?” Amy questioned as knights passed with relaxed smiles. “What…what has happened?”

Sir Knuckles took his helm off, “the mad king’s machines finally fell to pieces,” He said.

“What? You mean…”

“Yes your majesty. His walls were rusted, the generators in ruins and so on. Time has eroded it all to where not even the robotized function.” He said.

Shadow ran up and stretched, “Eggman is gone. I confirmed it. No pulse. Seems his hubris was his own downfall. He tried to outrun metal walls.”

“And he couldn’t run very well due to old age.” Amy said. “A shame it was brutal but machines erode easily when in the elements and not maintained.”

“His old age made him forgetful. Either way, he is gone,” Shadow walked up to Sonic and Tails. “Sorry your justice didn't come during your therapy sessions.”

“It's okay. Time moves slowly. Can't be helped.” Sonic said. “And I know I am expected to mourn for him but I am sorry. I can't.”

“We get it. We won't either. We are going to leave him and his land as is.” Shadow had them turn their back to it. “Now let us get back to sleep.”

—------

They slept the rest of the night. Sonic was up first again. He got up, took a shower this time and left. Amy and Shadow were asleep still. He got Tails and they returned to the first Chao Garden. Silver, Espio and Blaze were there.

They were burning everything they used. Including plans of the underground bunkers. Silver looked up when Sonic and Tails arrived.

“I heard the news from Espio and Blaze! He is finally gone!” Silver cheered.

“Yep!” Tails hugged him. “Finally!”

“The people are celebrating in their homes as we speak. We spread the news with notes. Making sure to not alert the knights or the spies,” Espio grabbed the map and burned it. “We did it.”

“Now, we take it to our grave.” Blaze put a hand where her hidden seal was. “We will be good, be silent and wait until our night comes to claim us to celebrate.”

Tails nodded and saluted back, “this is our oath as well.”

“Agreed,” Sonic bowed to them all. “Thank you for all your hard work. I would not have succeeded without you all.”

“Thank you for delivering our justice,” Espio saluted back.

“Now I can manage a Chao Garden.” Silver sighed, dropping the last part into the controlled fire. “Finally! I can spend time with my Chao.”

“I am glad. I can't stay long, but there is no need to now. Manage the Chao and Critters Gardens. Find people who you trust to manage them if you must.” He said. “Silent Wind is no longer needed.”

“Yes your majesty.” They bowed to him.

This time, Sonic left first with Tails following. They walked out and saw Shadow and Amy among the Chao. A few knights standing close by.

“Did I wake you?” Sonic walked over.

“Oh, no. We asked where you went and the townspeople said you were here.” Amy saw the Sonic Chao. “Aww, you have a Chao.”

“I do. I came to check on the eggs. None ready yet. I hope they hatch soon. I worry about them.”

“I am sure they will. The gardens are thriving. Just keep going with your work and they'll hatch.” Shadow picked up the Sonic Chao. “He is cute.”

“Not as cute as your Chao but thank you,” Sonic walked over. “He is quite the little troublemaker.”

“I bet,” Amy poked his little feet. “Is he as fast as you?”

“No. Not really. Normal speed for a Chao. He doesn't swim very well either.” Sonic rolled his eyes. “I feel called out.”

Shadow snorted, “I mean it makes sense. You can't swim.”

“I never learned.” Sonic took his Chao back. “Don't make fun of my boy here.”

“Do the Chao move from Garden to Garden?” Amy asked him.

“Yes, but some do stay in one place. Only if there is an egg involved.” Sonic replied. “Then they get homebound.”

“Our Critter Guy,” Amy cooed. “Can we turn our garden into a Chao and Critter Garden?”

“Yeah. Both can exist together. I don't Control the critters though. They come and go.” He shrugged.

“We want our Chao at the castle.” Shadow told him.

“Oh, then yeah. I can do that. I can't promise they'll stay.” He said.

Amy hugged him, “just the garden will be enough for us. Thank you!”

“Easy, you are pregnant.”

“I know~” Amy laughed.

“Amy…” Sonic sighed.

“Make room for me,” Shadow hugged him.

Shadow got Any and Sonic into his arms and ran back to the castle.

“Really guys?!” Sonic asked.

“Yes!” Both of them replied.

Shadow was back in their room, with the door locked.

[couldn't think of a way to properly end this so...here ya go.]

After the Soiree - Part One - Chapter Three

-Gathering Suspects I-

The trek from Seaside City to the Casino Park Zone was a long one. The duo was on the road for two days, but it was no match for the likes of Mighty and Ray. They hiked the distance for fun. Once they arrived, Espio gave them extra information. He had gathered Yuri's apartment location from their InstaRing posts, so reaching the destination was a piece of cake. 

The duo chatted amongst themselves as they walked through the zone. Their voices were the only noises coming from the lifeless streets.

“So this is the Casino Park Zone. Is it normally this… quiet?” The scout asked.

“It's a night district, Ray,” the muscle answered. “Once the clubbing and drinking come to a close, this is all you'll get.”

“I guess that makes sense.”

Mighty adjusted the straps of his backpack. “Personally, nightlife just isn't my kind of life.”

“Yeah,” Ray agreed. “Doesn't it bring out the worst in people?

“Like you wouldn't believe.”

The pair conversed until they arrived at their destination: one of many inconspicuous yet suspiciously brightly-colored townhouses directly below the Pinball Highway. It was garish, almost tacky. The armadillo had a bad feeling about this.

The flying squirrel hopped off of his friend's backpack and descended to the sidewalk. He was the first to walk up the porch stairs. He knocked on the door with a friendly smile on his face.

“Who is it?” An androgynous voice called out. It was smooth and laid-back.

“Two friendly detectives, at your service!” Ray did as well.

“Detectives…? Did you order any detectives?”

“Not any that I know of,” a feminine voice answered. There was a slight gravel to it.

The door opened to reveal Yuri standing in the doorway, and a hint of Battie's dark brown hair peeked out from behind the tall tuxedo cat. She was in the kitchen.

“It's Ray and Mighty,” the flying squirrel said with a smile.

“Hey, Mighty!” The cat called out.

Mighty waved, and Ray continued speaking.

“We have some questions for you. May we come in?” 

“I don't see why not.” The cat gave the detectives the go-ahead.

The duo entered the threshold to see that the inside was much tamer than the out. It was a blessing to their eyes. The interior was messy but not filthy, giving it a quaint, lived-in charm amidst the gaudy surroundings.

“So…” Yuri pulled two chairs out before sitting on the opposite end. “What brings y'all in?”

“We're trying to find who caused the fire at the Stardust Hotel,” Mighty answered.

“Ooh, big stuff,” the tall tuxedo cat cooed.

They turned around before shouting.

“B! Get a fresh pot going!” 

Battie pulled down their headphones and nodded.

“Y'all want coffee or tea?” The cat continued.

“Just water is fine.” First, the armadillo answered. 

“Do you have fruit juice?” Then, the flying squirrel.

“You heard them,” Yuri said.

“Already on it.”

The cat returned to their original position. They cracked open a soda can before they continued to talk.

“You said you have some questions for us?”

“Yep! We figured since you two were the hosts, you could help us out.” Ray suggested.

“Of course. You're with the Chaotix now, right?” Yuri asked.

“That's right. Vector took us in when our last job laid us off,” Mighty answered. 

“That's nice of him.” The cat placed their can back on the table. “Now, let's not beat around the bush.”

Mighty's little buddy began to ask questions as he analyzed the bat. He noticed Battie placed the cups down and swiftly returned to the kitchen to start cleaning the dishes. Not once had she looked at his and Ray's way to answer any of the questions, and she gave no curious glances–something Espio had commented on through transmissions on the trek. Her closed-off nature rubbed Mighty the wrong way. He had a sneaking suspicion that this wouldn't be the first time. He had to lie low for now. He was aware of how defensive Yuri would be if their best friend were under hot water. One question snapped him out of his analytical trance.

“Why did you host the event? Didn't you know you were inviting the worst of the worst?” Ray asked.

“Psh~,” Yuri scoffed. “We knew about that.”

“We even took preventive measures to ensure everything would go according to plan,” Battie added.

She was so calculating, yet simultaneously sloppy. If she took ‘preventative measures,’ surely she would've known that the fire would have happened.

“What are those measures?” Mighty inquired.

“We ensured the most dangerous of the bunch were under strict observation, as well as shackles being placed on the ones on the severe end of the spectrum,” Battie answered. 

She answered with such poise, like she knew what she was doing. Not once had she looked up from the dishes as she spoke. This was either due to a disorder that Espio had mentioned or her suspicious, closed-off nature. Mighty would need to run another analysis another day.

“Is that all?” He asked.

“No. There is much more,” Battie answered as she closed the dishwasher.

They then poured themselves a cup of tea before sitting down next to Yuri.

“...much more.” 

The bat took a sip of her tea before hacking.

“Bleh! I forgot the milk. Give me a tic.”

She hastily made her way back to the kitchen. 

Battie was cold and calculated just a moment ago. Now she was loud and casual. They were masking something, something dangerous, the Chaotix muscle inferred. 

The little brown bat returned to the table. His suspicions were only heightened when the faint smell of iron wafted through the air, masked by the smell of warm pomegranate and green tea leaves. 

Now, where were we?” Battie's casual expression returned with her serious demeanor. She nodded, “Right.”

Her wings fidgeted with the wooden chair as she spoke, as evidenced by the soft scratching sound reaching the detectives’ ears. Yuri, like their best friend, was fidgeting all the same, with the tab of their soda can instead of the chair. Was this suspicious restlessness or evidence of their similar disorders?

“I ensured Eggman never left his henchmen's side. Their incompetence lessens the danger he shows,

Each of the Six had to be in separate places at all times. They are much more arduous to deal with together,

The Hooligans and Jackals had to be close to each other. All the danger they show is dampened by their leader's constant need to be better than their competition.

Mephiles and Eclipse were mysteries to me as they were to anyone else. I had them under close observation to gauge their severity. They were close during the event, so it was easy to gauge. That proved to be an oversight on my part. Mephiles shouldn't have had allies aboard to begin with,

And finally, the  Skunk Bros. I didn't intend for them to arrive. They weren't on the list, but I allowed their entrance because they amused me as much as they did annoy me. Once again, it was another oversight as they pitched a fight with one of the Six.”

Mighty analyzed the way she spoke. The bat did not speak like this in the footage. It was like she was going off a script that she had written prior.

“That's everything we needed to know,” Ray smiled. “Thank you for having us.”

“No problem.” Yuri gave a similar grin.

The detectives exited the townhouse a few moments later and began their way back to Seaside City. They conversed as Mighty walked, and Ray was perched atop the backpack.

“Hey, Ray…” 

“Yeah?”

“What did you think of them?”

“Yuri seemed very nice. They made me laugh.”

“And Battie?”

“She was very smart. She gave us everything we needed, and we didn't even have to ask for most of it.”

“It was like she was going off a script. Doesn't that sound at least a little bit suspicious to you?”

“Now that you say it… you're right.”

“She is a prime suspect.”

“Definitely.”

Various 'Incidents' (Games)

Here are a handful of potential scenarios that come up that isn't normally 'recorded' in 'canon' timelines. Here are a few of those scenarios.

Chatoix: Data Breach - A game that focuses on the Chaotix and their new dynamic. They are commissioned to get information from various data banks, but aren't quite capable to doing it on their own. So they bring Woojoo to these missions, as she is able to easily get hold of this information. There are two types of gameplay when this type of event occurs. The first part is similar to how Team Chaotix worked during Sonic Heroes, the three of them being able to be switched out at will to be able to get to their location or complete their task as easily as possible. The second type is with Woojoo as a playable character, playing most akin to a combination of Espio and Shadow. While with no direct powers of her own, the art of assassination has been in her blood from the day she was born, leading her to be able to fight even with her weak constitution. She works through various 'data matrices', having to swap between stealth, attacking, and puzzle-like gameplay. These two gameplay styles go back and forth, with Woojoo able to assist with them getting deeper into areas and then protecting her when she is preoccupied.

Chao Land - You know the Chao Garden games that people have been begging for? This is it. You'd get your Chao game here. With both Maika and Cream as protagonists, they would be running their Chao sanctuary together. With a goal to be able to make sure every chao gets better or ends up where they wanna go, there is both a main story and a number of side stories regarding 'visitors' to the gardens, such as Sonic, Eggman, and anyone you can think of!

Sonic Bejeweled - A custom plotline that some may consider similar to the game Sonic Rush Adventure in some ways. It is a 3D Sonic game that takes place on the Jewel Archipelago, and includes Dianne as a second playable character. Sonic ends up attending the Isles begrudgingly due to being dragged to it for the Star Festival, an event that opens the usually reclusive place up to visitors. However, there is a plague currently ongoing that is causing the natives and even some of the tourists to turn into gems. Sonic, sensing that something isn't right, decides to investigate alongside Dianne, the next heiress of the entire set of islands that had been investigating it for some time but got no leads. Can the two of them together solve any issues that appear as the Star Festival continues onward?

Shadow Grounded - What most would consider the sequel to Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow discovers that someone has created additional artificial life forms that have been experimented on. That are still being experimented on to this day, even. Teaming up with two subjects that had escaped this life, Fisk the Rabbit and Zayn the Dragon, Shadow aims to shut down these experiments before they can cause actual harm to the world. But the nature of some of these experiments makes Project Shadow seem like rainbows and daisies in comparison. Does Shadow have what it takes to endure these missions and trials? Or will he find himself captured for experiments upon himself?

Silver's Restoration Project - A Stardew/Animal Crossing-esque game based on the future that Silver comes from. After returning from the past on occasion, he assists with the things he had gotten from then to try to rebuild society. Growing food, making connections, and trying to survive the post-world-ending scenario may prove a challenge, especially considering the attempted invasions and enemies that try to stand in his way. While mostly Stardew-esque, Silver can also go back into the past to assist with connections in the future, and play stages in both timeframes to try and get materials to continue with building and expanding.

Sonic Isles (Gacha) - What would be most likely a gacha mobile/console game. Taking place once more on the Jewel Archipelago, Sonic and Co. all find themselves there to relax after so much that had happened. With various levels and types of gameplay, every character can be obtained via a gacha system, with ability upgrades and playstyle types depending on the character. With various shenanigans happening throughout, and connections being made or revisited, it helps further flesh out the 'what if's and possibilities yet to happen. However... Could something darker be happening in the background, as well?
