Sonic: The Dark Legacy

Contined from the One shot Need to save version. Gaurdian: Echidna Protector: Hedgehog Roots: human

 

Chapter 2: the Search for the Emeralds begin.

 

*three years have passed since Spirals destruction along with the planet Marami. The shattered pieces of their land now floated across a small part of space labled the Dark Machine Void. No one dares go to that part of space. The beings that existed who were left, The Wise council consisting of one of each race. Humans known as the Roots of Marami were now known as the Roots of Life. The Echidnas known as the Gaurdians of the Emeralds had become distraught but not saddened. They devoted their lives in finding the Emeralds traveling from empty planet to planet leaving their marks and searching. They became known as Ancient Gaurdians and Hunters. The Protectors what was left being now Speed, Snow, and their young child Sonic, were symbols to the humans in their times of need assisting them in all they could and bringing their two kinds closer. Eventually Speed had been granted the title of Wise Protector and given a place on the council along with two others. The Wise Gaurdians son Nails of the Echidnas who traveled the galaxy in search of the emeralds and found one. Along with the Wise Roots soon, Arlon who after his father died in the attack on their planet took the place. Although not a Caller, Arlon brought the last of the planets people to a small planet and with his people restored it to a beauty that rivaled even Marami. The destruction of the planet left many of each clan gone including the Callers of all clans. Without being able to Call on the Emeralds each clan had to look for guidence in their leaders. The New Wise Ones. The planet they created was called Elaph. The Wise Ones governed the land with Prosperity and peace, however a great cataclysm from the past is still continuing in secret. The Upheaval of the Clan of Doom still threatens the land this time though a familliar person leads them.. *

 

???: That is all. By your leave Wise Ones.

 

*the three on the throne nodded as a gaurdian walked out of the building. The doors shut behind him. The looked to eachother in sadness.*

 

???: So.. then the land is being hit by a plague.. how cant the Roots of Life stop this unfortinate turn of events?

 

*the human looked to the echidna*

 

???: Wise Ancient Gaurdian Nails, The Roots of Life are striving to live and keep the land alive however without the Emeralds to assist in giving life to all that they stay on.. it is a very tough job. The blue Emerald you gave us can only give so much energy without its brethren.

 

Nails: I know this Arlon. Our race continues to travel the planets searching for the rest. We have lost many of our own due to the dangers on each planet and found nothing. Some of our race have even decided to lead full lifes as Hunters instead of Gaurdians. We cannot keep our race together at this rate..

 

*the blue hedgehog nodded and looked to them*

 

???: dear Wise Ones.. what if I assist and travel with the Gaurdians? With my speed I could search the planets in less than a day for the Emeralds.

 

*They looked to him and shook their heads*

 

Nails: No my friend. You may be the fastest in the world but you are also a father. Young Sonic would need his father every secound. Speed, why not spend the rest of your life with your son and wife.

 

*he shook his head*

 

Speed: My family has protected the Roots of Life for as long as we lived and we are glad for all the care they show us despite us not being the same as them. I know even my young Sonic understands that without the Emeralds, our land will die. I have already discussed this with my wife Snow. Sonic has even volunteered to come with us. Arlon, you must see this could be the miracle that we all need.

 

*the Arlon closed his eyes*

 

Arlon: it is not my place to say alone Speed. The people have to decide what they want us to do as well. If we simply asked you to leave then it would be as if we were telling you to do our job.

 

*the three stood silent till Nails blinked smiling*

 

Nails: I have it! Wise Ones.

 

*they looked to him*

 

Nails: All our pride will not restore the lands. I know my people will be dissmayed by this but we must all work togeteher and find the Emeralds. We should all search the worlds together.

 

*they blinked and Speed smiled*

 

Speed: that is something I did not expect to hear from you Ancient Wise One. You may not have your fathers stubborn pride after all.

 

*he shook his head*

 

Nails: it is there Speed, just now is not the time to think of it.

 

*Arlon nodded and looked to him*

 

Arlon: well then.. may I suggest we send only our best from each race? along with somone like us?

 

*they blinked*

 

Speed: by that you mean one from each race known to be the best in their skills and a Wise One to lead them?

 

*he shook his head*

 

Arlon: not exactly Speed, the leader of this group should be somone we all know and trust.

 

*Nails nodded*

 

Nails: A good plan. I agree to it and wish to send my son Stone.

 

*Arlon blinked and smiled*

 

Arlon: Ah Stone! I heard he has found many clues to the Emeralds in his past searches even at a young age. He has alos been able to find foods on planets that could keep our people happy for years and relics telling of the planets past inhabitants. His strengh has also been known, he has defeated several of the planets dangerous species with ease where it would take many of us to handle them. I know well about the Hunter Gaurdian of the Emeralds.

 

*Speed nodded smirking*

 

Speed: its true he is truly a gifted one much like my son. However my son has only yesterday broken the sound barrier and traveled so fast that he ran across the clouds. He is much like me, no maybe even more faster than me. I have high hopes in him. This might be what he need to feel more useful. He complains I do not give him a challenge because he is only ten.

 

*Arlon blinked*

 

Arlon: ten? how can he age so quickly? only three years has passed since he was born.

 

*Speed smiled*

 

Speed: Our race grew fast. At a certain age though we stopped growing. The last seven months could be considered seven years for him. At the age of ten our age moves back to the natrual ages.

 

*Nails blinked*

 

Nails: intresting. It almost seems like my own tribe. Our younglings grow fast in merely months. With our connection the the Emeralds we were able to grow at a much faster rate.

 

*Arlon sighed*

 

Arlon: and now that connection is being threatened.. all of our connections to the Emeralds are slowly dwindling away. I wish to send my own son, but alas I have none. So I will ask the Professor for his son Ein Robotnick. At his age he knows many things about the technology of other races. In fact he designed much of the technology used to fend off the planets dangerous species. He is brilliant just like his father and adventerous as well. Though the great Professor Edward has passed away, He strives to better himself and keeps his mind focused on the future of our race.

 

*Speed blinked*

 

Speed: why not Miles Wise One? Miles Power has almost rivaled that of Ein and his inventions whats more he is a friend of my Sons.

 

*Arlon nodded*

 

Arlon: its true that Miles is a worthy person to assist in this great task at hand.. however recently he went through a failed experiment test. Have you heard of it? His prototype plane crashed on the planet labeled Xof. It seems the chemicals in the air has transformed him into a two tailed creature and left him comatose.

 

*Speed blinked and shook his head*

 

Speed: I had no idea of that.. then the Emeralds may also save Miles as well.

 

*Nails nodded*

 

Nails: Since Miles had that unfortunate accident he can not help anyone but we can help him. That means My son Stone along Speed's son Sonic, and the Great doctor Ein will be called to go on this mission.. but who will guide them?

 

*Speed snapped his fingers*

 

Speed: I know of who should!

 

*They looked to him curiously*

 

*he smiled and nodded*

 

Speed: I shall send my wife Snow!

 

*Nails and Arlon blinked looking to him dumfoundedly*

 

Arlon: y..your wife?

 

Nails: Lady Snow?

 

*He nodded*

 

Speed: Snow wouldnt let Speed go out there alone. Besides she can keep up with him more than I can these days.

 

*they both laughed*

 

Nails: haha Wise One Speed, you certainly are a crafty one.

 

*Arlon nodded*

Arlon: but remember, your wife will be the one who decides who is going where. Just hope she doesnt speed off in a rage over your quick reckless descision.

 

*Speed laughed a little scratching his head*

 

Speed: ehehe.. yes I should probobly tell her first.. still its for the fate of the land and race. I know they along with the ones we chose can do it.

 

*the agreed with him*

 

*Nails nodded*

 

Nails: then so it shall be done. Gaurds call for my son and the others. Do not delay this matter. It is for the fate of our world that we complete it.
