Little Planet Arc

The **Little Planet Arc** is the second arc of the **Sonic Chronicles** series. This arc is set on the mystical **Little Planet**, which is known to make an appearance over the earth once a year. When **Dr. Robotnik** invades this planetoid to acquire the **Time Stones** hidden there and control time itself, it is up to Sonic to prevent the doctor from achieving his evil plans and save Little Planet from a dystopian future under the scientist's control. Along a way, he also has to rescue **Amy Rose**, an innocent young hedgehog who has been captured by **Metal Sonic**, a powerful robot created by Robotnik to exceed the hedgehog's own powers. This arc is a part of the larger Death Egg Saga.

## Plot

On Mobius, there is an enormous lake called **Never Lake**, which is known for being where the mystical Little Planet, a small planet of both beauty and wonder, appears above for one month once a year. Also known as the "Miracle Planet", this planetoid is known for being the home of the Time Stones, seven mystical gemstones that can freely control time, which allows them to turn a desert into a jungle, clean polluted lakes, and perform other time-crossing wonders.

Not long after Little Planet makes its annual appearance at Never Lake, Dr. Robotnik takes notice of the Time Stones. Intending to build a fortress on the planet and use its stones for his goal of global domination, he plans to seize it for himself. To make sure that the planetoid does not leave, the doctor chains it to a nearby mountain with his face sculpted on it, before covering it in a metallic shell as he constructs his fortress, all while scouring the planet for the Time Stones. Meanwhile, the doctor uses the unique temporal passages on Little Planet to invade the past of the planet, where he fills it with robot transporters and Metal Sonic holograms in order to turn its future into one where he has total control. This affects Little Planet's fate severely, to the point where it becomes a ruined land in Robotnik's future.

Eventually, Sonic the Hedgehog races his way across fields, over lakes and through forests to get to Never Lake and see Little Planet for himself, not knowing about Robotnik's actions. Upon receiving the report that his nemesis is approaching, the doctor's eyes light up and a fearless smile appears on his face. Assured that he will be able to finally crush the hedgehog once and for all with his scientific prowess, he excitedly proclaims, with a blue flash of light that lurks behind him, that he will seize the Time Stones and finally conquer the world.

Meanwhile, Sonic arrives at Never Lake. To his surprise however, he finds Little Planet in its sad and chained state following Robotnik's takeover. Seeing the planet chained to the nearby mountain, he suspects that the doctor is behind it all, and travels to Little Planet via the chain keeping it tied to his world. Ending up in **Palmtree Panic**, Sonic learns that he needs to destroy the robot teleporters in the past and secure the Time Stones before his nemesis does. As he continues his adventure however, he meets Amy Rose, a female hedgehog who has come to Little Planet after predicting a "destined" encounter with him on the small world with her tarot cards. Upon seeing the blue hedgehog, Amy instantly falls in love with him and tries to hug him. Not reciprocating her advances, Sonic tries to continue with his adventure.

After encountering Robotnik and forcing him to retreat by defeating his **EGG-HVC-001**, Sonic continues onward to **Collision Chaos**, with Amy following him. Upon arriving there however, the pink hedgehog is kidnapped by the doctor's latest and greatest creation to date: Metal Sonic, a lethal robot built in Sonic's image. The robot proceeds to leave with her despite Sonic's attempts to save her. Now having to save both Little Planet and Amy, the blue hedgehog continues onward, overcoming and defeating his nemesis and his contraptions along the way.

Eventually, Sonic arrives in **Stardust Speedway**. There, he finds Robotnik and Metal Sonic, the latter challenging him to a deadly race, with the former keeping a laser active behind them as they race forward. In the end though, the hedgehog defeats his robot copy, who gets smashed after he crashes into a gate closing in front of him, which forces the doctor to retreat. Afterward, Sonic frees Amy, who hugs him as thanks.

Soon after, Sonic travels to **Metallic Madness**. Inside this stronghold, he eventually encounters Robotnik using the **Egg Spinner** in an attempt to defeat him. However, the machine is destroyed, triggering a chain reaction that causes Little Planet's metallic shell to crumble and forces the hedgehog to escape from Little Planet with Amy. Landing near Never Lake, he leaves her in a safe place and runs away, before noticing the shell covering Little Planet break apart.

Sonic looks at Little Planet, which shakes for a moment before disappearing and leaving behind some sparks in the shape of Sonic's face. Afterwards some Little Planet flowers will appear around Never Lake. Robotnik retreats on his hovercraft with a blue Time Stone in the palm of his hand while laughing at Sonic. Noticing the doctor, Sonic throws a rock at him, hitting his vehicle and causing it to explode.
