Mobius: Next

Mobius: Next is a continuity created by Jacob Bernardi (E-113:Xi). The story takes place roughly 50 years in the future of the present day Sonic Universe. Actually, it is the future of a subtle mixture of several Sonic Universes, including the video games, the Archie comics, and Super Mario Bros. Z [fan series by Mark Haynes(Alvin Earthworn)]. In this future, the planet Mobius is a much different place. A majority of the planet is made up of human settlements with Mobians living as immigrants, for lack of a better word. The Great Mobian Sea has dried up to become a barren land known as Angel Valley, and Angel Island violently crashed to the ground below many years ago. The hero of this world is Topaz, a hedgehog who grew up in the wild for the first 15 years of his life before being found and raised by an ex-bounty hunter named Elias Tyrran. Topaz has worked will G.U.N. on several seperate occasions to save the world from evil forces such as Dr. Maximillian Robotnik and the Black Arms.

==History==
===A Hero is Born===
The story begins several years in it's past, with our good ol' blue pal Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic has been accused by G.U.N. of a treasonous crime. The amount of people who know of this crime is now nearly nonexistant, but is apparent that it envolved the Chaos Emeralds, Super Emeralds, and Master Emerald and it put the fate of the planet in jeopardy. Sonic knew that he was under the influence of a greater power when the crime was commited, but had no way to prove his innocence. He was forced to flee with his wife, Cecelia, and things remained that way for several years. Eventually, during short period in which G.U.N. halted their chase, a child was conceived *wink wink*. However, the chase did continue which progressively became more difficult for Cecelia. The child was born in Angel Island's own Marble Gardens, but was abandoned with only the red Chaos Emerald for protection. Sonic had decided that the child would not be safe if he remained with them, and that the Emerald would provided enough protection to keep him alive.
===The Fall of Angel Island===
Shortly after the childs birth, a strange phenomenon occured. Nobody knows how it began, and to this day it has yet to be explained, but the Great Mobian Sea began to drain. It was an incredibly slow process, but it was in fact happening. The only area of the vast ocean that wasn't effected was the waters within the Enigma Ring. Eventually, to the surprise of many, the sea drained to a level low enough to reveal hundreds of (if not more) large rock spires jutting out from the sea floor. Meanwhile, G.U.N.'s chase was coming to an end. Sonic and Cecelia had run out of places to hide, and with nowhere else to turn they consulted Knuckles. At this time Knuckles was still furious with Sonic for what he had done, and he reveal so by dealing a punch which sent Sonic tumbling down the steps of the Master Emerald's altar, followed by taking the only Chaos Emerald which Sonic had left. It was then that Sonic had remembered one final hiding spot, the Hidden Palace. The two were quick, but G.U.N. soldiers were close behind. They hid in a secret chamber which the soldiers immediately began to try and blow open with explosives. Sonic and Cecelia were cornered. The soldiers broke through, and as her last gift to Sonic, Cecelia took a bullet for him. Sonic was instantly thrown into shock. The moment went so fast he could barely comprehend it. Then his emotions began to show. Sorrow, fear, anger. The strength of these feelings together brought forth a transformation far greater than Dark Sonic. It was a being of pure hatred. Within seconds the soldiers were vaporized, Sonic disappeared, and all hell broke loose above. The Master Emerald and Super Emeralds shattered into dust﻿ and the Chaos Emeralds vanished. Knuckles knew that the island was in danger so he had it evacuated, including his wife and son. His suspicions were correct. The island fell, and with little water remaining to support it, it was destroyed on impact.
===Life Goes On===
The sea continued to drain to a point where there was no water left. The land it left was a barren and piece of Angel Island were scattered across it. Knuckles' son Gold eventually returned to find an empty shrine, far from it's original location with no Master Emerald, and no Knuckles. Gold remained to become the guardian of the land which he christened Angel Valley, hoping that one day his father would return with the emeralds. The former inhabitants of Angel Island spread amongst several human groups, making Mobians a much larger part of their society. G.U.N. however, saw this as a golden opportunity. They went to Angel Valley to build several bases and outpost, most of which still stand in present day. As for the child, he was imbedded with the power of his Chaos Emerald as it disappeared and managed to survive the crash as a result. The power remained hidden inside of him, and his life went on as well. He was eventually found, however, and grew up to become the new hero of Mobius: Topaz the Hedgehog.
==Inhabitants==
===Heroes===
Topaz the Hedgehog: the hero of Mobius, as mentioned above. He began living with Elias Tyrran at age 15 and trained to be a bounty hunter for roughly 10 years. His first true act of heroism was when he was hired by G.U.N. to hunt down and capture Eclipse the Hedgehog, a very dangerous fugitive. On this journey Topaz met several of his future friends and discovered the power hidden within himself in a climatic battle with Eclipse. He went on to work with G.U.N. and save many people from several dangers.
Rad the Falcon: a former soldier in G.U.N.'s airforce. Rad lives in the Sky Melodica, an assortment of small floating islands, with his brothers Blood and Blue. He met Topaz on his mission to find Eclipse, and they later reunited to defeat Dr. Robotnik when he revealed his "genius" to the world. Being younger than most other people he knows, Rad tends to keep to himself. On the contrary, he's very energetic and loves challenges, which makes up for his quietness.
Gold the Echidna: guardian of Angel Valley. Gold was born on Angel Island, one of the only ones to do so while still remembering what it was once like. From the beginning, Gold knew he was destined to be the guardian of the Master Emerald. With it destroyed, he chose to guard it's shrine instead with a belief that one day the Emerald and his father would return. Gold is very headstrong, with much confidence of his physical abilities. Unlike his father, Knuckles, Gold is very sophisticated. He can get out of many difficult situations with ease, which makes him very useful to any of his allies.
===Villains===
Eclipse the Hedgehog: heir to the Crymnian throne. Eclipse was formed from the Crymnian DNA of the now deceased Shadow the Hedgehog. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to regain his Crymnian appearance. Eclipse exhibits similar abilities to Shadow, with enchanced effectiveness due to the lack of corruption from Mobian DNA. Eclipse see all others as inferior, other than higher officers of the Black Army. Most of the time, his judgements are correct. With incredible fighting skills, cunning, and control over an entire army of troops, Eclipse is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Dr. Maximillian Robotnik: clone of the original Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Max Robotnik has equal intelligence to the original, but was trained in the arts of villainy, robotics, etc. This factor makes him a much worthier adversary for any challengers. By inventing the "Malicious" combat android series, Robotnik was able to form a technological reign for brief periods. He is always one step ahead of his rivals, but overconfidence sets him behind, eventually leading him to constant downfall. He has already become far greater than Eggman ever was, and continues to do so with every creation.
Onix: arguably the most powerful being on planet Mobius. Onix first revealed himself causing random destruction in Central City. After accepting a challenge to fight from Topaz, he demonstrated his skills in manipulation and domination. Onix has mastered all forms of chaos energy with a massive suply of power (whether or not it is natural is unknown). He is well aware that there are few beings who can surpass his might, but believes that everyone deserves a fighting chance. "Fair" is a concept that Onix prefers to leave up to fate. When he has determined that there is no possible way for his opponents to defeat him, Onix will merely stall by toying with them "for the fun of it."
===Anti-Heroes===
Burst the Hedgehog: a common troublemaker with a unique ability. Burst is a city boy, given up to an orphanage almost immediately after birth, only to leave at a young age and adapt to the ways of a criminal. He did have a reason, though. Burst way born with the ability to coat his body parts in titanium and use said parts to create and control fire. He was inevitably discriminated against, and took out his rage on society. Nowadays, Burst hangs out in Nitro City causing various mishaps when he can. It wasn't until Topaz apprehended him that he decided to change his ways... somewhat.
===Neutrals===
Vendeta Aungel: former scientist and guardian of the Floating Sanctum. Vendeta marked his place in history as the inventor of Psyco-Gauntlets, devices to amplify the wearer's mental capabilties, emulating psycokinesis. His father is Arc Aungel, former guardian to the Floating Sanctum and one of the only people able to harness mayhem energy. Vendeta often keeps to himself, and puts his duties before any personal gain. When there is a threat to something greater than the sanctum, only then will he make it his priority, but that is a rare occasion.
Chaos: the physical embodiment of chaos energy. Chaos is an ancient creature, and the first true guardian of the Master Emerald. In ancient times, it destroyed a majority of the echidna race as revenge for harming it's brethren, the Chao, and was sealed within the Master Emerald as a result. After being freed by Dr. Eggman, Chaos was in an enraged state, but conceded to Super Sonic and returned to it's peaceful ways. Since then, Chaos has fought many battles along side Sonic and Knuckles, but eventually decided that conflicts could be solved differently. When the Master Emerald was destroyed, Chaos made itself scarce, only to be drawn out by Max Robotnik. Chaos, now conflicted as to whether fighting is right or not, chooses to keep his distance from the centre of attention and help only when necessary.
Proto-M: the original model of the Malicious combat machines. Proto-M first took the form of Topaz, only to be easily defeated by him. After a long time of hiding, he resurfaced to battle Topaz again. This time a malfunction caused him to take a permanent form similar to Topaz, but more like that of Metal Sonic. With his body now an impure amalgamation of data, Proto-M left the side of Robotnik to find a more suitable purpose for himself. His new sence of persistance causes him to occasionally return and challenge Topaz, but he doesn't care who he fights as long as there is a purpose.
===G.U.N.===
Techno the Android: commander of G.U.N. Techno is an android built to resemble a Mobian of several species' but mainly sees himself as a hedgehog. Created with the purpose of protecting Mobius in the absence of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friend, Techno felt that it was his duty to do just that. He joined G.U.N. and quickly moved up in the ranks to become the successor of Abraham Tower. Techno's central processor is link directly to G.U.N.'s main computer, giving him access to all the knowledge stored in any computer on the planet. He isn't a fan of hand-to-hand combat, so he usually helps out from the sidelines. Overall, Techno can be considered the most laid back commander of G.U.N. in history.
Jade the Hedgehog: one of G.U.N.'s top Mobian soldiers. Jade has trained with G.U.N. since age 16 and has assisted in many decisive battles. She became romantically involved with Topaz during the Crymnian invasion, and since then has acted as more of a vigilante than a soldier. Jade has a strong sense of pride, and on some occasions can be considered a sore loser. However, she is also quite respectful, allowing her to remain calm during most situations.
==Notable Locations==
===Angel Valley===
Angel Valley is a barren land with a total surface area equal to nearly half that of planet Mobius. It was formed originally by the draining of the Great Mobian Sea, but weather and destructive battles set there have continued to change it's appearance. Towards the centre of the valley lies the remains of Angel Island (Mushroom Hill Zone, an area similar to Green Hill Zone, forests, and part of the mountain). Not too far from these remains rests the former Master Emerald shrine. The only inhabitants are Elias Tyrran, who lives in the aforementioned forest, and Ashura and Wechnia, who live in the corresponding "Green Hill" area. Gold the Echidna, though not living there, spends most of his time at the shrine guarding it as he was predestine to.﻿
===Central City===
Central City is the main hub for most activity in the urbanized world. Since it's past Central City has merged with most surrounding cities, including Westopolis, Eastopolis, Northside City, and Southside City. Now this massive metropolis is home to many of the characters mentioned above, and the main headquarters of G.U.N.
===Nitro City===
Nitro City, though lesser known than Central City, is a highly populated area. It is mainly composed of suburban homes, small buisnesses, and major highways conecting it to other nearby locations. It's largest building is Million Tower, the origial headquarters of Dr. Robotnik. Other than the occasional crime, Nitro City is quite a quiet place (in a metaphorical sense).
