Organization Chaos 3: Rising Fall/Summary

## Episode 1: Countdown to Chaos

New Year’s Eve, 2020. Agents of the Global Leadership, Authority, Combat, and Intelligence Agency (Better known as GLACIA), gathered to prepare for the New Year’s celebration that night in Central City’s Central Square. Among these agents were the elite task force known as the Burning Rangers, consisting of General Sonny Flame, Hannah Dash, Calias the Phoenix, and Nihil the Phoenix.

Due to the terror attacks that plagued the Twin Cities in recent months, Director G. Fifticinco put everyone on high-alert, and, with help from the Cheddarosiers: Admiral Beauregard and his brother Pipsqueak, the festivities were set to go off without a hitch.

After noticing a mysterious individual, Nihil and Calias disappeared into an alley. Meanwhile, the President of the United Federation, former GUN commander Abraham Tower, got up in front of the large crowd to give a speech right before the stroke of midnight. But as soon as the New Year’s countdown reached one, the signal on the square’s large monitors changed… To the symbol of the diabolical Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik.

Eggman proclaimed himself President and ruler of the world, contested by no one. How? You may ask. Well, back at Egg Base Alpha, the wicked Doctor celebrated his victory along with his closest advisors, the Egg Bosses, notably: Dr. Elijah Starline and Jack Beakton. Jack questioned his uncle Ivo about how he was able to convince the world this way, and then the Doctor revealed…

In a strange room, Eggman had placed Blip, the Avatar of the Phantom Ruby, and Charlotte Mathers, a psychic young lady. Their purpose in this room was to combine their powers and brainwash the world into believing Eggman was their hero and that Sonic the Hedgehog was their enemy.

Slightly troubled by this thought, Jack called Hannah Dash, whom he had previously been at odds with because of his connection to Eggman and confirmed the Doctor’s statements… He truly had brainwashed the world.

## Episode 2: The Switch

Not long after, in Raven Haven, Jack’s wife Angela Beakton had some choice words for her husband, not believing that Jack would let Eggman get away with something so evil. Jack explained that he had no idea what his uncle was planning, then the two of them decided to see Jack’s best friend: Pipsqueak. But, along the way…

The couple was stopped in their tracks by Miles “Tails” Prower. Sonic’s best friend, right? Well, he should have been, yet, he was asking Jack Beakton, an ally of the Eggman Empire for his autograph. Unnerved by this exchange, Jack continued onward to the garage of Nezumi Numanaga, where Pipsqueak was. Lepor Lightfoot was there as well, the two of them attempting to stop a rogue drone.

After everything calmed down, Jack and Pipsqueak talked about the recent events. That’s when it truly dawned on Jack… Eggman had brainwashed his best friend. Now furious, Jack stormed back to Egg Base Alpha and begged Blip to fix things. Being limited by Valtron, the Phantom Ruby, Blip could only allow Jack “Seven Hearts” connected to his own to be free from the brainwashing. Having overheard this, Dr. Starline made a deal with Jack. He would let him go through with this and not tell Eggman, as long as Jack did not bring harm to their boss.

Jack chose Pipsqueak, Lepor, Calias, Hannah, Flame, Beauregard and Dr. Bradley Dash as his seven hearts, and thus, the revolution began… But not before Flame had a moment of despair, realizing he had been under his mortal enemy Eggman’s control.

## Episode 3: We Can Make It!

Two weeks later, the generals of GLACIA called a meeting. They discussed the state of the world… Eggman’s rule was spreading effortlessly as country after country willingly gave power to the Empire. However, there was still one threat: Sonic the Hedgehog was at large. That’s when Admiral Beauregard stormed into the meeting room with a proposition for a hedgehog hunt. General Eli Vulcan gave permission for this manhunt, so long as his personal detectives, Elk and Penny Seraphina joined the Admiral on his mission.

After the newly formed investigation team left the room, the Generals turned their attention to their absentee: General Flame. Believing that he had betrayed the Empire, but without any evidence to prove it, the group was forced to demote Flame for his absence, leaving him at the rank of a lowly Sergeant.

Speaking of Flame, turns out, he and Hannah had been destroying Eggman’s bases, one-by-one. Scared and sleep-deprived, Hannah needed some encouragement from her best friend, before they went on to destroy Egg Base Omega. But when they made their way inside, they were stopped by Eggman’s right-hand robot: Orbot, and Angela Beakton. This was all part of the plan, however, as Angela led the Rangers to a back room of the base, explained to them her tragic backstory about being a robot then blew up the rest of the base, save for the blast proof room they were standing in.

Meanwhile, in Golden City. Pipsqueak and Lepor were defacing Eggman propaganda, when their former cop friend Tom Wachowski caught them. They were in hot water, until they suddenly got teleported away, ending up in Egg Base Alpha, across from Blip and Charlotte. The pieces were all in place…

## Episode 4: Confounded Ties

As Flame, Hannah and Angela made their way to an Eggman warehouse, A FLASHBACK OCCURS! A week ago, Angela went to GLACIA HQ and had a conversation with Dr. Dash, letting him know that Jack and Blip were devising a plan to stop Eggman’s scheme and explained to him her tragic backstory about being a robot. She then called Hannah on Dr. Dash’s private line, checking in on her and Flame. Amidst the conversation, Angela just so happened to bring up the Druids case from a few months back, throwing shade at Flame for not responding to Beauregard’s phone call, which could have saved Jasper “Jax” Mudbaum from ending up comatose.

Flame, having not even known about this event, was extremely shaken up. Realizing he could have prevented the events that transpired, Flame began to blame himself, but some comforting from Hannah got his head back in the game. Flame’s suspicion of the Beaktons persisted still.

## Episode 5: Angels with Burning Hearts

Back in the present day, Eggman confronted Blip about the bases that are being destroyed. Pipsqueak and Lepor hid, as Blip played innocent and Eggman soon left.

At the same time, Angela had led Flame and Hannah to Eggman’s Area 55, where the trio commandeered benched Eggman machines and made their way to the Imperial captital: Grand Egg Robocity.

Across the world, in Adabat, Beauregard and the Seraphinas followed a lead on Sonic to a restaurant. However, it was a dead-end, until Elk put out a theory that Sonic must be visiting the Gaia Temples and looking for the Chaos Emeralds. The three of them quickly got on their way to the final Gaia Temple, hoping to find a Hedgehog.

## Episode 6: Storming the Castle

Flame, Hannah and Angela arrived at Grand Egg Robocity on their robots and began laying waste to Eggman’s capital city. They were met with opposition by a horde of Super Badniks.

At Egg Base Alpha, Starline checked up on Blip and Charlotte, who were hiding Pipsqueak and Lepor. The platypus didn’t suspect a thing. At that moment, Jack got in the cockpit of his birthday present, a giant mech, and began a broadcast to the whole world. He renounced Eggman and exposed the doctor’s scheme to the world before striking the base with his mech’s fist… Unsurprisingly, Eggman was prepared for this and fought back against his nephew’s onslaught with a mech of his own. All the while, inside the base, Pipsqueak and Lepor took the fight to Starline, with limited success.

Way over on the upper continent, the manhunt for Sonic reached its end, as Beauregard and the Seraphinas discovered a lurker in the final Gaia Temple. The detective couple attempted to capture their target, but Beauregard was able to take down his supposed partners and offered the Hedgehog a Chaos Emerald.

Back at the capital, the tide turned in favor of Eggman’s forces, the robots that the Rangers commandeered were all destroyed, and our heroes were cornered with no hope of surviving the waves and waves of Badniks approaching them… Then, out of the sky, a cyan comet came crashing down, destroying many of the menacing robots. It was Calias in a glowing super form, who had been missing since he went into that alley with Nihil on New Year’s Eve. Now reunited, the Rangers fought their way towards the city’s central tower.

## Episode 7: The Fastest Thing Alive

Pipsqueak was knocked out in the battle with Starline, but Lepor managed to use his friend’s unconscious body as a weapon and knocked the Doc out of the (closed) window. The rabbit then planted his signature explosives and grabbed Pipsqueak before jumping out, right as the building exploded. In the meantime, Eggman got the upper hand against Jack and put his nephew’s mech out of commission. Jack hadn’t given up though, as he climbed Eggman’s mech and sliced the pilot, only to discover that it was only a robot double of the Eggman. Having finished his fight, Jack met up with Pipsqueak and Lepor, and, after reviving the former, the three went to see Blip.

Blip and Charlotte warned the three of “Eggman’s Enforcers” A.K.A. Sonic’s brainwashed friends, before sending the Raven, Bunny and Mouse to the capital city for the final showdown.

Already at the capital, the Burning Rangers and Angela fought off the hordes of Badniks as they made their way to the center of the city. When the got close enough, suddenly, Eggman’s enforcers appeared… Tails, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee. They were greatly outnumbered, but backup arrived in the form of Jack, Lepor and Pipsqueak. United against the former heroes, the Rangers and their friends began to battle Sonic’s friends, but to no avail. The group was quickly beaten, and all seemed lost… But then…

With a gust of wind, Sonic the Hedgehog appeared! He used the Chaos Emeralds to turn into Super Sonic and used a new technique to put his friends to sleep so that they wouldn’t get hurt. Seeing his nemesis on the battlefield, Eggman activated his trump card as the Grand Egg Robocity started to shake and groan. The city was actually a HUGE robot.

## Episode 8: Rise of Justice

At the remains of Egg Base Alpha, Blip asked Valtron to end the brainwashing, but the Ruby refused, forcing Blip to defy the will of his creator.

Back on the giant city robot, Super Sonic began to battle the mecha-metropolis, while our other heroes came up with a plan. Jack came up with an idea to free E-123 Omega from his bondage underneath the city’s central tower. Jack, Angela and Hannah went ahead to the tower, while Flame, Calias, Pipsqueak and Lepor held off some of Sonic’s friends who had woken up. Inside the tower, Jack’s crew was able to free Omega, who immediately began laying waste to the building. As they made their escape, they were stopped in their tracks by none other than Dr. Starline. Hannah immediately drew her Chaos Blades to fend off the platypus.

Little did anyone know, that at that moment, the entire airship fleet of GLACIA was approaching to back up Eggman, headed by Beauregard, who had hope that Blip would be able to clear the brainwashing before they reached their destination. Meanwhile, Blip was struggling with that very problem. Valtron had an iron grip on his puppet, until a little help from Charlotte allowed Blip to break free and seal Valtron away for the time being. He then erased the brainwashing and blipped away with Charlotte to support his friends on the battlefield.

With the brainwashing broken, Sonic’s friends and the GLACIA fleet came to their senses and began helping the Rangers destroy Eggman’s capital, while inside the now burning tower, the duel continued. Hannah and Jack exchanged attacks with Starline as they claimed ever-higher away from the rising flames. Starline was able to isolate himself and Hannah on a creaking ledge, and after a decisive blow, he found himself dangling over the sea of flames below. He begged Hannah for mercy, but she was fresh out, as she stomped on his hand, letting him fall to his blazing doom.

The three heroes escaped the collapsing tower with Omega’s help (although a beam almost killed Jack), and met up with the others outside. Beauregard brought his ship, The Rising Hope, in close for everyone to board. They all escaped just in time for Super Sonic to deal the final blow, toppling the metal monstrosity. Eggman attempted to flee but was punted into the stratosphere by Jack and Omega.

Soon, Hannah told Flame what happened with Starline, while Jack tried to cover it by claiming he was the one who killed him. Hannah, however, didn’t want to lie. Jack and Angela tried to cheer up the guilt-ridden Hannah, before she went to find her brother, Calias.

## Episode 9: Redemption

Sonic’s friends finally had a chance to catch up with one another aboard The Rising Hope, while Hannah found her brother on top of the bridge, the two of them had a talk about recent events. A little later, the ship came to dock at the Central City bay, where our heroes were greeted by a large crowd, cheering for the heroes who saved the world from Eggman. Blip and Charlotte teleported away before anyone else disembarked.

But, as Jack stepped off the ship, the people all booed him. That’s when Sonic and Tails stepped in and spoke up for their new friend. President Tower arrived in a helicopter and granted Jack an official pardon as the once-angry crowd cheered.

A week later, Jack, Angela, Pipsqueak and Lepor were summoned to GLACIA HQ. There, they were given a proposition by the Director and the Generals… To join GLACIA and form the new Burning Rangers along with Calias, Hannah and Flame. Tempted by various benefits, they all agreed.

Not long after, in the secret prison underneath GLACIA HQ, Hunter Klein, the Overlord, was drained of his life force by an individual named One. One promised to burn the world as she left Klein’s lifeless body in his cell…
