Sonic: Excursion Adventure

(DISCLAIMER: This is a "what if" recreation of the rumored game "Sonic Excursion" if it were to be made into a modern game. The original rumor didn't originate from this page, and is merely taking inspiration from the original).
Sonic: Excursion Adventure (ソニック楽行冒険 Sonikku gakkō bōken) is a platform game as part of the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series developed by the Sonic Team, and published by SEGA. The game was once rumored to be released back in 2013, only known under the title of "Sonic Excursion", but unknown circumstances had postponed production, until the current release came to be several years after. The game follows after the events of the war against Doctor Eggman of "Sonic Forces", and catching up with Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends as they "Clean up" the remaining robots scattered along the planet, and help the remaining people recover and rebuild the planet, as a new organization was rising thanks to the militaria Violet S. Vixen. The storyline is intended to follow up on "Sonic Forces" and the unanswered questions left behind from it.
Although being a sequel to the aforementioned Sonic Forces, a number of mechanics were removed on its creation, including the Avatar creation system (in spite the game mentioning the Avatar character in some of the dialogue within the story).
==Plot==
Following up on the ending of Sonic Forces as told through a news channel report, the Resistance has since been disbanded and scattered all over the world in smaller groups, helping various small towns build themselves back up since the fall of the Eggman Empire. Doctor Eggman has been caught by the resistance, and is currently placed under solitary confinement for a life sentence, as decided by Shadow the Hedgehog. The news report ends saying that the future is finally looking better for the first time in months. All of this is overheard by a lone figure in her office through the radio, and she decides that its time to "step up" now that the world has a chance to start anew. 
A year goes by, and Sonic is going through a nearby town being attacked by some renegade robots. Thanks to him though, the problem is handled very quickly, the townsfolk giving their praises to him as he takes his leave. Sonic recollects his involvement in the war, and that things had really relaxed since then, even finding the occasional robot attack less exciting than it used to. He gets a call from Amy Rose, and is invited to a "Reunion Party", as it is the one-year anniversary since they won against Eggman. Sonic naturally agrees, and goes off to the party. 
Arriving there, he finds many of his old resistance mates, including Amy, Tails, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Knuckles, and Rouge. Sonic asks about that "young rookie", which Tails reveals they're still busy with helping the city recover, which they are happy to hear. As they celebrate however, the group gets ambushed by a group of Eggman robots, which they quickly fight off for a while. During the fight, one of the larger robots starts to hold its own against the resistance, but before it can overpower them it is suddenly shot down by an arriving fleet, revealing to belong to Violet. Much of the reunion welcomes her, and Sonic is introduced to her as leader of the "World Recovery's Team", who is also the one giving the Resistance calls in prior months whenever she needs any of their experience and aid. On that, she informs them that a "new resistance" is starting to emerge in various spots, including the town Sonic was just in, and they believe to connect back to Eggman in spite of his imprisonment. Tails agrees to go with her back to the prison in order to check on the security as the others are told to keep watch in case of more attacks, giving them a communicator to inform her first hand. 
At the prison hold, Tails investigates the facility to check up on Eggman, and finds that he's still contained inside his cell. They start questioning him about the robot attacks, but he reveals he had no involvement, yet no one believes him. During the interrogation, the power suddenly starts to go out, giving Eggman just enough time to escape his cell. Tails attempts to re-capture him, but he gets himself out and away from the team. Violent informs her team to track him down, as Tails (unbeknownst to Violet) goes off and contacts his friends about the situation with the same communicator. He also finds that other dangerous criminals had also escaped, which include Fang the Sniper's team, The Babylon Rogues lead by Jet the Hawk, and surviving members of the Jackal Squad. Silver decides that they have to protect the world again, and they all spread out to find Eggman and the criminals. 
With Tails remaining to read up on the reports, they all go around to different locations in the world; Sonic and Amy arriving to Central City and recruiting Silver the Hedgehog to face the Babylon Rogues; the Chaotix team going into the Mystic Jungle to track down Fang, all the while finding Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel; and Knuckles and Rogue heading to Rail Canyon to capture the remaining Jackal Squad, alongside Shadow. After they are all captured and sent to prison again, Tails finally gets readings on Eggman, but before giving anymore information though, the communication is cut between them and Tails. Sonic tells everyone to keep looking for Eggman as he goes to try and find out what happened to Tails. 
Sonic, with the help of Espio tracking the signal, arrives at the prison hold where Tails was last heard from. After a long search, he finds not only Tails, but the rest of the Resistance locked away inside the prison hold (excluding Charmy Bee who Vector claims barely escaped), with a number of robots trying to attack him. Sonic assumes Eggman did all of this, and swiftly engages the robots. However, he finds Violet S. Vixen there, and instead of helping him out, she gets him captured as well for getting in her way. She reveals to them all that she planned Eggman's escape ever since he was brought to her prison, as a means for her to capture him again in front of all the world herself, and be seen as the world's hero instead of Sonic. She leaves them trapped inside the prison, knocking Sonic unconscious just before she is informed about Eggman's current whereabouts. With that, she returns to the site Eggman is heading to in order to "claim her prize". 
Meanwhile, Charmy, Mighty, and Ray go around the Mystic Jungle, trying to figure out where Charmy's friends had gone and where they could've been taken to. They start finding a few stray robots, and Mighty (ticked off for Vector and Espio's capture) confronts and questions them about them, which starts another fight. Charmy flies off ahead on Ray's request as they stay and fight off the robots. Charmy flies off right at the edge of the Mystic Jungle before finally getting a signal coming in from his communicator, overhearing a broadcast from Violet that the Resistance has been locked away by Eggman after taking over her prison hold. With this new info, Charmy, Mighty, and Ray go off to rescue them. 
The trio arrive at the prison hold, the robots guarding mistaking them as a threat. Charmy thinks Eggman must've messed with Violet's robots, and the trio make their way inside. After fending off the many robots inside, they find and free the Resistance and are told of Violet's true intentions. However, the remaining robots attack them all, taking this as a prison break like it was with Eggman before. The Resistance is forced to fight their way out of the prison hold, and catch up to Eggman from there. 
The Resistance arrives at Central City, just in time to find Eggman's new fleet arriving and causing havoc as Violet's team attempts to fight him off. Sonic leads the charge towards Eggman's forces, everyone following in toe as they all fight the remaining forces Eggman has against them. During the fight though, Violet instructs some of her soldiers to attack the "pests" as well, making the Resistance fight both sides at once. During the fight, Eggman and Violet confront eachother, and Violet tries to fight Eggman herself but is quickly overwhelmed by him. Sonic finds this out and steps in and fights Eggman, ending with his main fleet exploding, and Eggman knocked out cold. Violet tries to play it off as if this was her original plan, but Amy quickly expose her for freeing Eggman in the first place, which makes the crowds turn on her. Violet runs away as the Resistance celebrate their victory. 
After getting Eggman sent back to prison, the Resistance decide once again to go their separate ways, but this time Tails gives everyone a personal communicator to keep everyone in check in case they all need to come together again. Mighty is offered a place on the team, and while he does take it, he still claims that he prefers the peaceful life. Sonic says goodbye to everyone before heading off to find more adventures, concluding his life's never gonna go stale anytime soon.
