Chapter 1: We're the Sonic Underground
'As one is separated from his family for a long time, make many new friends, and have many adventures, one thinks of what they left in order to protect. As the time of reunifications nears, secrets kept will soon be revealed.'-Queen Aleena.
On the roof of the Thorndike Mansion was a 17 year old anthromorphic emerald green eyed blue hedgehog wearing white gloves, white socks, and red friction resistant sneakers with grey soles, a white horizontal stripe with gold buckles. In his hand was a crystal medallion in the shape of the legendary sword: Caliburn. Putting it on he takes an item beside him, and begins to play it, unaware that a pink hedgehog wearing a big red dress, with red boots, and jade green eyes had come out looking for him, and had seen him. Her name was Amy Rose, the Blue hedgehog's self-proclaimed girlfriend.
(Sonic)
Come in my friend welcome to the party.
But only if your one of our kind.
The adventure of our life is now starting
Robotnik's empire running out of time
We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound
Hiding in the heart of the city
We plot and plan Robotnik's overthrow
It's a dirty job and no, it's not pretty
Always on the run, always laying low
We're the Sonic Underground
Listen to our freedom sound
Never know where we'll be found
We're the Sonic Underground
(End Sonic)
(Amy)
I had no idea that Sonic had such a great singing voice, but those lyrics made no sense. Maybe if I should ask Tails if he knows. I may not have gotten what I wanted but this is just as good.
Stopping the tape recorder I had planned to use to records Sonic's secrets I went back inside, only to see Tails, Cream and Cheese, Chris, Chuck, Ella, and Mr. Tanaka at the table.
"Hey Tails, I need to ask you something." Knowing he'd be resistant I got out my hammer immediately to show I meant business.
"W-what do you n-need A-amy?" I could tell nervousness was evident in his voice at the sight of my hammer.
"I heard Sonic singing outside, and playing a guitar, he had a great voice but the lyrics made no sense. I tape recorded it and wanted to know if you knew anything about them." I explained in a calm dignified manner (As if.), looking at Tails in the eye.
"Sure…let's hear it."
(Tails)
Putting the tape recorder on the table Amy pushed the play button, after hearing the one minute twenty four second song, I couldn't make heads or tails of it…dang it I made a pun of my own name!
"I don't know Amy, but did Sonic know you were outside?" I ignored her hammer and looked directly into her eyes, knowing the answer already as she has been stalking Sonic since she met him.
I could see it in her eyes that she knew that he didn't know.
"Listen Amy this is most likely something that Sonic doesn't want to tell us at the moment, if he doesn't want us to know then he'll let us know later."
Amy merely let out a humph, and went outside, a few seconds later I heard yelling, and crashing as Amy came back in with a bruised Sonic by the neck.
"Amy what are you doing!?" I knew she wanted Sonic close to her but this is going to far!
(Chris)
Okay, I may be twelve years old, but I know for a fact that's not the way you make someone fall in love with you!
"Amy calm down! If he doesn't want to tell us then he doesn't want to tell us, just leave him alone!" I admit I was curious too, but not enough to beat Sonic and bring him in the house against his will.
"NO! HE'S HIDING SOMETHING AND I WANT TO KNOW! I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW!" She doesn't seem to get that he sees her as a friend, nothing more.
"Amy, please let Mr. Sonic go." At least I can count on Cream to try to reason with her.
Amy pulled a chair out, pulled the table cloth off and tied Sonic to the chair, all the while pulling her hammer out…again.
(Sonic)
One moment I was on the roof remembering the past, and the next Amy shows up with her hammer, and starts hitting me with it! Then she grabs me by the throat and drags me into the house! Now I'm tied to a chair, and I can't get out of it.
"Now Sonic, I'm going to ask you three questions and I want you to answer them truthfully, if you don't then you'll keep your date with Ms. Hammer!" Raising her hammer overhead to show wasn't lying.
"Fine, it's not like I'm going to get out of this."
"Question 1: Who are the "Sonic Underground"?
"A group of three that are key members of another group."
Question 2: What did those lyrics in that song mean?"
"What song?" Did she hear me?
"You know what I mean!" She took out a tape recorder, and the song "We're the Sonic Underground" played, I was shocked that she heard me, but I had to answer the question.
"It tells of the reason the Sonic Underground was formed, and how our enemies' are running out of time." Not the WHOLE truth, but still the truth. However nothing could prepare me for what the next question was.
"Question 3: What's your past, and don't give me that wanderer nonsense! Your REAL past!"
At this point I was fighting to hold back tears, and Tails, Chris, Cream, Tanaka, Ella, and Cheese could see it. Amy however couldn't.
"Triplets born, the throne awaits, a seer warns of a deadly fate, give up your children, separate, bide your time, lie in wait." I recited the prophecy that's ruled my life, one that I'm still trying to fulfill.
Amy however didn't seem pleased at my answer.
"WHAT WAS THAT!? THAT DOESN'T TELL ME ANYTHING!"
"That's my past in a nutshell, allow me to explain.
Back on Mobius, there was a city, the capital of the world: Mobotropolis. According to history, it was beautiful, until Dr. Ivo Robotnik overthrew the ruler Queen Aleena. The city was turned into a complete dystopia, people living in poverty, immeasurable taxes, unfair laws which includde a ban on music, strict rules, families torn apart, and kids having to resort to living as thieves. Queen Aleena was visited by someone known as The Oracle, he told her of a prophecy where one day she would reunite with her 3 children, and form the Council of Four. The catch was that she had to give her kids up. The middle child was given to an aristocrat family, the youngest was originally going to go to a middle class family, but his basket was taken by thieves and as such was raised by them. The oldest child was given to a middle class family, however at the age of five that child's foster family was taken, their house burned and taken in by his uncle chuck. For the next 10 years that child was raised into the resistance, a group of renegade mobians that fought against Robotnik's tyranny. One day Robotnik was putting up a force field over his robot factory, the resistance was using a secret weapon that could go at impossible speeds, and was a thorn in Robotnik's side for 10 years. Though a lot of effort was put into bringing down the shield, the factory was brought down. Afterwards the child had met the Oracle, and told of the prophecy as well as his siblings.
Through a risk of being caught for playing music, the three met and learned of not only having powers within themselves, but also inside of their medallions.
From visits to the place of their birth, the palace they would've lived in and inherited, family treasures that were either locked away or put up for auction, to even an alternate dimension where the triplets were villains and Robotnik was the hero.
One day Robotnik went off to try and expand his influence in places that DIDN'T know of his rule, and the eldest followed, leaving the younger to help the resistance as he knew they would be fine.
You asked for my past, well here's my past, I was the eldest triplet, I was the one that followed Robotnik, and I was the one who had his foster family taken from him."
(No POV)
Tears were streaking down Sonic's face, as he revealed his past. To think that Sonic had to go through all of that, and that he was royalty. But there was one question.
"Who is Robotnik though?" the young 10 year old two tailed fox asked his broken friend.
"You already know him, not as Robotnik, but as Dr. Eggman." The eldest blue prince revealed, as Chris untied him from the chair.
Before anyone could ask him anything more, he ran off to parts unknown.
"Why?" The brown haired blue eyed 12 year old human child questioned the pink monster.
"Why what?" Amy questioned back as she saw nothing wrong with what she did.
"You had no right to beat Sonic up, and force him to tell us about his past, something he clearly didn't want to tell us until he was ready!" Chris exploded on her as pure rage and anger were in his sapphire blue eyes.
"I'm his girlfriend, I have the right to know-."
"You are not his girlfriend, he has shown hundreds of signs that he did not like you that way, and runs from you most of the time, get it through your thick head that he doesn't like you, and your fantasy is just that A FANTASY!" Tails in a twist of fate exploded on Amy, as he saw that Amy had gone too far.
"Tails is right Amy, you had no right to do that to Sonic, or beat him up for it." Chuck chastised the hedgehog, as his opinion of her just went down a few yards.
"Cream you understand I had to do that right?" Amy asked her cream colored rabbit friend, hoping for her to take her side. No such luck.
"Amy, Chris, Mr. Chuck, and Mr. Tails are all right, you were in the wrong this time." Cream turned her head away to the side and left to put her pet Chao Cheese to bed.
Soon after everyone left, except Amy as she was in shock that Cream had turned on her. Had she been wrong, had she been living a fantasy this whole time, had she really gone overboard?
