190Sonic: Chao Chronicles
First Lap
By Kingdom Rider92
A/N: Well, well, well… I can tell that you're thinking: Where the bloody hell is Kingdom Skies, you jerk? …Yeah, totally forgot about that. I'm really sorry, people, but this happens. BUT! Before you start trying to find out where I live and how you can kill me, hear me out.
First of all, this: I'm sure many, if not all of you have heard of an anime Sonic X, right? It had the potential of being an awesome anime… if 4Kids hadn't gotten to it, first. And if they actually used more stuff based off of the games and had that extra season that people were all hyped up about, then that would be great, too. Well, the Chao Chronicles shares some similarities with Sonic X, but at the same time- I may have been hyped up on sugar when I was thinking this- some elements from Power Rangers and Mega Man Star Force (more so Star Force than Power Rangers in my opinion). There's also going to be quite a lot of references to the games, so it won't be a hundred percent based off of the Sonic X anime.
Second: This idea, although caused by boredom and possibly sugar, is not one of a possible train wreck. Now, I know people didn't like the addition of Gary Stu and Mary Sue characters introduced in Sonic X- heck, I didn't. So, for this, I'll try to keep them as simple and avoid complete overpowering as much as possible. If someone spots a sense of Mary Sue/Gary Stu, please inform me ASAP. That way, I can edit it. By the way, I'm still keeping Chris as the true main human protagonist, but he's not the only human protagonist that takes real action.
Third and last: Although this is based off of more of the games and less Sonic X, for the sake of things, there will be fan characters based off of the main heroes and villains (to keep the plot moving) as well as a couple fan characters of my own design. Only a couple will take some serious roles, and not all will be introduced at once. Also, I forgot to mention this, but there will be quite obvious changes for the sake of the story.
So, just give me a chance with all of this before you stone me to death with whatever you can get your hands on. That out of my system, let's get this potential train wreck rolling!
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS A FAN FICTION. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND ALL CHARACTERS RELATED TO OR BASED OFF OF THE SONIC FRANCHISE BELONG TO SEGA AND SONIC TEAM. THIS DISCLAIMER GOES FOR ALL CHAPTERS/EPISODES, SO DON'T EXPECT TO SEE THIS AGAIN.
Prologue: Origins of the Chao, the Emeralds, and the Robotniks
Personal Diary Log- Entry 1
Our world was once a peaceful place. If it wasn't for the Chaos Emeralds, though, it could have possibly stayed that way. The way people squabble over them these days is much less convincing that they're good for the world. To me, they're both a blessing from the gods above… as well as curse from the demons of hell.
They say that the Chaos Emeralds were created long ago when life on our world first began. Well, as my great grandfather discovered, the Emeralds originated long before true life began on the planet. They just didn't come to our planet until after life started on the planet.
The Chaos Emeralds were created by a water guardian of a mystical race of adorable aliens that visited our planet when life was beginning on it. The aliens came on an island shaped spaceship on a pioneer voyage. The aliens seemed to have the power to alter their DNA based on the animals that they interact with. And they brought their most valued treasures- the Chaos Emeralds, their very life sources, and the Master Emerald, which was the only thing that could control the Emeralds should their power go out of control- with them to our world, and settled here. It wasn't long before these aliens- simply called the Chao- were discovered by the daughter of the chief of the nearby village.
The thing was- according to my great grandfather's findings- that the tribes of the world at the time were mostly made up of animals that had human like characteristics. My great grandfather calls them "Mobians" in his notes. Anyways, the chief's daughter was an echidna, who easily made peace with the leader of the Chao immigrants at the time, playing with the Chao every chance she could. And the Chao's guardian was also tamed by the echidna girl as well. They could have gone like this forever… until the girl's tribe discovered the power that the emeralds possessed.
The tribe of echidnas that the girl was a part of was a powerful war tribe. With the girl's father as their leader, they had conquered a good third of the world thus far. But it wasn't enough for them- they wanted more land, slaves, food, money- all the things desired of greed. And when they discovered this small, nearly harmless race of aliens living right next door to their main village, the chief decided to take the Emeralds and use them to finish conquering the world.
So, they invaded. Outnumbered in forces, the Chao were easily overtaken by the echidna tribe, who attempted to steal the Chaos Emeralds. The leader of the Chao, desperate, cried out for her- yep, the leader was a female Chao- clan's guardian to help. And help he did, by consuming the Chaos Emeralds himself, and erasing the Echidna Clan from existence for the most part, as well as destroying most of the world. Realizing her mistake, the Chao leader tried to stop the guardian, but couldn't on her own. The echidna girl, however, offered her assistance, considering that if it wasn't for her frequent visits to the Chao, her tribe wouldn't have caused this. They sealed the guardian inside the only thing that was strong enough to stop the Emeralds- the Master Emerald itself, at the cost of their lives.
The world was reborn, and most of the Chao gained traits from the now extinct Mobian people. Now, while the Emeralds were at the main site of their ship, there was no way they could leave to further explore, since the lack of being near them would cause them to die quicker. However, since the Emeralds scattered save for the Master Emerald, they could travel as far as they needed to. So, as Chao searched the world and mankind started to truly emerge, it seemed peaceful… until after World War I, which was started over a green gem the size of a human hand that the Archduke Frances Ferdinand was found carrying on his person at the time of his death.
The gem was really a Chaos Emerald, and was trusted into the hands of one Professor Gerald Robotnik of Berlin, Germany. Curious, Gerald Robotnik spent years searching about its origins while sons started finished their studies, and started of their own. Three members of these new families were his grandson Ivo, his other grandson Hanson, and finally his granddaughter Maria. Gerald soon became the head of a Soviet and US collaboration project of science to create a "neutral" science center in outer space- Space Colony ARK. While I don't truly know what exactly went down on the ARK, but they say a terrible accident occurred, leading to my aunt's untimely death, and Gerald's decent into madness, forever cursing the Robotnik name. To make it worse, I believe a Chaos Emerald was involved in that accident.
I thought that couldn't get any worse, but it did. My uncle, after hearing and growing up on Gerald's stories went insane himself, started building robots, trying to take over the world like the tribe of echidnas. Except this time, there isn't a water monster to kill him. Instead, I've been doing some research of my own… and get this. According to some stone tablets I've read and translated, our world is in danger of something far worse than my uncle. Something big is coming. And our only hope is a boy born of Chaos… and a Chao controlled only by the Wind. They are to become one by the power of the Seven.
Now, I don't know who these two are, or what exactly this all means… but I plan to look into this, and update again when I find out more. Oh, all of this information, and I forgot to introduce myself. Sorry about that. I am the great granddaughter of Prof. Gerald Robotnik. My father, Hanson, named me after his beloved little sister who died on the ARK. That being said, my name is Maria Robotnik the second, and I research about the Chaos Emeralds.
End Log of Maria Robotnik II
Kingdom Rider92's Notes: I know, I know. There was never a second Maria in the series. The reason why this Maria exists… well, her research helps move the story along. Not to mention the concept of so many fans of Shadow would often pair him with Maria, Rouge, Tikal, Amy, or (I don't know why) Sonic (personally, I'm not a fan of yaoi or yuri; if you are, sorry but no yaoi or yuri pairings will intentionally appear in the story). Speaking of Maria and Tikal, has anybody else noticed that they have nearly similar personalities? If so, then what I have planned for the duo isn't going to be surprising to you at all- just don't spoil it for everyone else.
Trust me; Maria II will be a key player in some parts later on, but for now, her journal entries will have to suffice in moving the plot along. She'll only write an entry every once in a while, so be calm, and try to give this character a chance. Until then, Kingdom Rider92, out!
