Zero Sagas

Chapter 1: The Legend Begins

(A/N) Hello! I own Zero, Sapphire, Nightmare, and Lifeform 0. I also own the idea of Zero Sagas. I DON'T own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles, ect. They belong to their respectful owners.

A long time ago there lived an ancient creature that could harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald. This creature was so strong that nothing could stop him, but one day a mysterious hedgehog rose against him and locked him away with the power of love and friendship. His power was so feared that the people locked him away behind a magical door, this door was sealed using the power of the Chaos Emeralds combined with the power of the Master Emerald, and the door was to be sealed away forever. Two Hundred Thousand Years later, Eggman rose to take the power for himself.

"Yes! As the destiny of the ruins say, a strong wizard will rise up and free the ancient creature inside the ruins! Doing so, he will receive unlimited power and then he could control the entire universe!" Eggman said to himself as he rode the Egg Walker through an ancient cave.

This cave seemed very deep to be dug, as it might collapse, this made Eggman wonder how it was constructed. As Eggman drew closer to the end of the cave he saw a mysterious creature standing in front of the Ancient Door, the creature was wearing a long cloak, with a golden staff in hand, and what seemed to be a Chaos Emerald around her neck, the creature looked like a hedgehog that was guarding something.

"Who goes there?" asked the strange hedgehog

"I am Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik and I am here for and ancient power that lies inside these ruins." Eggman looked at the hedgehog and decided she was very strange.

"My name is Sapphire, I am the guardian of these ruins, and you can't have that power." Sapphire looked at Eggman through the opening of her hood.

"Who is going to stop me?" Eggman gave her a menacing glare. "I am the ultimate genius and soon I will be invincible!"

"Heh… You think too high of yourself; if I were to beat you then you would realize how weak you are." Sapphire raised her staff and gave Eggman a dangerous look.

"You couldn't beat me even if you tried!" Eggman pressed a few buttons on his keyboard and his machine readied its weapons.

"Well see..." Sapphire dashed towards Eggman and prepared to attack

"A foolish mistake!" Eggman locked on and shot five missiles at Sapphire, yet she dodged all of the missiles with incredible ease; somehow Sapphire disappeared, reappeared behind Eggman, and struck him with incredible force.

"ARRGH!" Eggman screamed in pain and staggered forward "You'll pay for that!" Eggman pressed a couple of buttons, and let loose an incredible barrage of missiles for the size of Eggman's walker. Sapphire blocked most of them and reflected the rest back into Eggman's direction

"NO!" Eggman shouted as the missiles hit his walker.

The size of the explosion made the cave rumble, and loose rocks fall from the roof of the cave. When the dust cleared Sapphire realized that Eggman's walker had survived, protected by a green barrier.

"Well, you are stronger then I thought" Eggman said as he brushed the dust off his coat. "If I hadn't activated my shields I surely would have bit the dust, but I have an ace up my sleeve!". Eggman reached into his coat's pocket and pulled out a detonator. "One move and I'll blow the cave, and all of us to hell!"

Sapphire then realized while they were fighting, Eggman had somehow managed to plant explosives on the walls of the cavern.

"No! If you blow up this cavern then the door will-"

"Yes! Make one more move and this door will be opened!" Eggman felt really good of himself to have performed such a nasty trick, 'I'm so evil!' He thought to himself.

"You can't!" Sapphire replied, "The ancient power cannot be controlled! If you open the door then all hope will be lost!"

"Just watch me!"

Eggman pressed a button on his walker; suddenly the explosives on the gate were the only ones that detonated. "Curse him! He was using a hologram to make me think they were everywhere, when they were only on the door!" Sapphire whispered to herself.

The force of the explosion sent Sapphire flying into a wall, causing her to black out on impact. Eggman barely managed to stay up on his feet.

"Hahahaha! You weren't smart enough to beat me! Weakling!" Eggman Yelled at her unconscious body.

Eggman walked over to where the door was before he had blown it down. Inside there stood a big, green, crystal standing on an alter. Eggman approached the crystal, hopped out of the Egg Walker and looked at the crystal. Inside the crystal was a gray hedgehog that looked somewhat similar to a familiar hedgehog.

"What! I can't believe this! It's just a hedgehog, like Sonic and Shadow!" he complained. Suddenly his walker started beeping. "Weird, my energy scanners are going crazy!" He put his hand on his chin, "Hmmm… I wonder…."
