User:Syber The Hedgehog/Involvement with the Protectors

This is where I will start Sybers adventures with another fan character named Alter the Wolf, based off of his FanFic, Protector of Chaos. This story continues direclty after Darkness Returns. I must ask that you read the story behind Alter the Wolf before you read this one. I will try to update regularly.

Chapter 1: Prologue - Eggmans Plans
''Syber makes his way through the base towards the control room where Dr. Eggman currwently presides. when he gets to the door, he can hear a lot of comotion going on in the room. He then ducks as the door opens and Orbot and Cubot come flying out. They crash into a wall, get up and start running (or hopping) away.''

Eggman: "...AND DON"T COME BACK UNTIL YOUR FINISHED! Those irritating little....I don't even know why I made those two stubborn malfunctions! Of all the- Oh! Syber there you are. Were almost ready to begin my new plan. All I need now are the Chaos Emeralds. You do still have them, don't you?"

Syber walks into the room.

Syber: "My apologies, Dr. Robotnik, but I left them with Sonic. that's not a problem for you is it?"

Eggman: "Of course thats a problem for me! Now I have to go and get them from that blue menace?"

Syber: "You could always send me. It would be easy for me to get them from him. He's no match for me by himself."

Eggman: "Ah, what an excellent idea."

Syber: "But that would be one favor down the drain."

Eggman: "Hmm? No matter, I'll still have four more. and I've got plans for you as well. Now go and Get the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic."

Syber: "Once again, I apologize. I'm afraid I can't do that."

Eggman: "And why not?"

Syber: "I told Sonic and the others I would not bother them for the rest of today. As I'm sure you know, Doctor, I am a hog of my word. If you want me to take them from him, you'll have to wait untill tomorrow."

Eggman: "RRRRRRRRGH! Very well! Tomorrow we'll commence project: New Flood. And you better not dissapoint me!"

Syber: "As I said, I am a hog of my word. And what is this project: New Flood?"

Eggman: "You don't need to know right now. I'll tell you tomorrow.Now, if you'll excuse me, I need my beauty sleep. here's lot's of work ahead of me tomorrow, And I'll need to be rested and relaxed for when I finally take over the world! Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho! He he he he he he!"

''Eggman continues his insane laughter as he walks out of the room. Soon after, Syber walks of the base, where the sun begins to set. as he stares into it, he begins to think to himself.''

Syber (thinking): "Well, It seems I will finally get the entertainment I was waiting for. But I wouldd rather not meet with Sonic under these circumstances. Oh well, some things just cannot be helped. But for some reason, I can't shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen soon. The question is: what?"

''As if in response to this question, Syber's third eye cracks open. To Syber, this meant that what he's feeling must be true. A new danger would soon reveal itself.''

Syber (thinking): "Either way this goes, I'll need to be ready."

Chapter 2: Project: New flood
''The next day, Eggman, Orbot, Cubot and Syber were all preparing to begin the mission. Syber, still curious, asked Eggman to explain Project: New Flood.''

Eggman: "It's a quite simple, yet ingenious plan, really. After your little issue with Black Doom, I assume you've gained the vast majority of all of Sonic, Shadow and Silver's memories and battles from their past correct?"

Syber: "Correct. It was a side effect of Doom taking control. Somehow, my mind was also affected, causing memories from the other's to surface. I only know of the more improtant events though."

Egman: "Then you should remember the monster known as Chaos? Right?"

Syber: "Correct."

Eggman: "Good. Then as you know, when he absorbs the seven chaos emeralds, he becomes almost unstoppable. He destroyed a perfectly good battleship, and in one blast no less! I plan on re-awakening him, and feeding him the Chaos Emeralds. but tis time, I plan on controlling his mind, making him my slave. Then I'll use him to flood the planet, and in the ruins, I plan to create an undersea empire!"

Syber: "How do you plan on controlling him?"

Eggman: "By using this!"

Orbot and Cubot hold up a special mind controlling device.

Eggman: "This device works specifically on Chao, allowing me to control their actions. Chaos was originally a chao, so I took his water attribute transformation into account, and after studying him for a good long while, I developed this little beauty!"

Syber: "So, how do you plan on getting him out of the Master Emerald?"

Eggman: "This device will do that for me. It has a special program installed in it that will attract Chaos out of the emerald. After that I just push this button *points at the button* and presto! Chaos is mine to use as I please! There's just one problem..."

Syber: "You nrequire the Chaos Emerads for this plan to work."

Eggman: "Exactly! That's where you come in."

Syber: "You want me to take the Emeralds from Sonic and and hand them over to you. This also uses up one of my owes."

Eggman: "Heh heh heh! Well now, I can see where you get your smarts from!"

''Eggman, Orbot and Cubot load up in the Eggmobile, and take off. Syber waits a few seconds before dashing after them.''

Syber: "So once I get you the Chaos Emeralds, you are plan on using Chaos to create the 'Undersea' Eggman Empire, and conquer the world? I sure hope nothing goes ary in your schemes..."

Eggman: "Your sarcastic tke on the situation is not amusing. Me controlling te world under my fingertips is!"

Syber: "Quite frankly, I don't care. I just wan't to have some fun. To gain some entertainment is my only goal."

Eggman (thinking): "If only I didn't know you better. The first chance you get, you'll ruin my plans in an instant. I' need to keep a very close eye on you."

Syber: "I heard that, Dr. Robotnik. It is true, that under normal circumstances I would take any opportunity, any chance I saw to send you schemes flying out the window. But, for now, you do not have to concern yourself about me. As long as I am entertained, I truly do not care about you or your ambitions. So go on, do as you wish. I will not stand in your way."

Eggman: "Hmm...Really, well then, You go after that wretched hedgehog, Sonic, and take the Emeralds from him. Ill meet you at the Master Emerald."

Syber: "I Understand."

''Syber separates from Eggman and heads after Sonic. when he gats far enough, Orbot, begins to question the doctor.''

Orbot: "Sir, are you sure you should be giving him this much freedom? Last time, he ended up destroying your machine and sending you flying."

Cubot: "Yeah, and if that weren't bad enough, he also hates you. Then again, he hates all of us. Wait, do you think he hates me?"

Eggman: "Will you shut up! And as for Syber, I know full well what he's capable of, but I also know he would never go back on his word. Thats just who he is. Besides, as long as he takes out sonic, I wont have much of anything to worry about! He he he he he he!"

Cubot: "What about that black hedgeog? What's his name? Shadow? Yeah, that's it! What about him? And then there's that time traveler. Don't you think he'll come back to help stop you to save his future?"

Orbot: "You know, you make a good point there. What happens if-"

Eggman: "WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP! *bong! clank!*"

As Eggman continues to be annoyed by his two minions, Syber wonders where to look for Sonic.

Syber (thinking): "Let's see....After everything that hapened esterday, They will probably still be taking it easy and resting themselves. That being the case, the first place i should look is at Tails' workshop."

Chapter 3: Dealing with the Blue and Red
''After several minutes, Syber ends up at Tails' front door. He knocks three times and waits. Tails opens the door and upon seeing the eyesof the person who knocked...''

Tail's: "Whoa!....Oh it's just you Syber! Jeeze, you scared me for a second."

Syber: "It was the eyes, wasn't it?"

Tails: "Yeah. Those eyes of yours are going to take some getting used to."

Syber: "So tell me. Is Sonic here?"

Sonic: "Yo, guys! What's up?"

Sonic runs right up to Syber and Tails.

Sonic: "Hey Tails, how did repairs on the Tornado go?"

Tails: "Everything went smoothly! now i just need to get it up in the air and make sure everything works."

Sonic: "Sweet! I was just doing my morning run. Care to join me?"

Tails: "Not right now, i want to make sure the repairs to the Tornado work. I'll catch up with you guys later."

Sonic: "Alright, see ya Tails! What about you, Sy? You up for a quick run?"

Syber: ".....Sure, why not?"

''Sonic and Syber then take off in a random direction. Eventualy after about five minutes of running, Sonic begins to wonder something.''

Sonic: "So Syber, why were you at tails' place? Getting ready to upgrade your mechanics again?"

Syber: "Actually, I was looking for you, Sonic. Do you still have the Chaos Emeralds?"

Sonic: "No. After you left, I decided to give them to Knuckles for fe keeping. Why, do you kneed them?"

Syber: "How dissapointing...And here I thought I was going to get to beat you down and take them from you."

Sonic: "Huh? Waddaya mean by that?"

Syber activates his gauntlets comm feature.

Syber: "Dr. Robotnik, come in..."

Sonic: "Wait, what?!"

Eggman (over comm): "Ah Syber, I'm almost at the island. So have you proquered the Chaos Emeralds from Sonic yet?"

Syber: "No, he gave them to Knuckles."

Eggman (over comm): "Ah! Excellent! Getting them away from him will be far too simple! And what did you do to that blue rodent?"

Syber: *looks at Sonic* "He's running right next to me..."

Eggman (over comm): "Well then since Sonic didn't have the Emeralds, instead, I want you to keep him busy for a while. I dont want him foiling my plans this time. Eggman out!"

''Syber's comm turns off. He then turns to Sonic.''

Sonic: "So, your working for Eggman now? I thought you hated him. Either way, I don't know what you've got planned, but I think it's time I put a stop to it!"

Syber: "Sorry,but I'm under orders. You aren't going anywhere yet. And as for my working for the doctor, it's not as simple as think."

Sonic: "Really, well do you mind telling me what you meant when you said 'I'm not going anywhere yet?"

Syber: "Oh, I fully intend to distract you like the doctor said, just not in the way he thinks.'

Sonic: "Enough with the riddles, spill it, already!"

Syber: "Alright, let me inform you on the doctors latest plan....."

As syber talls Sonic all about Project New Flood, Over on Angel Island, Knuckles sits in front of the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds.

Knuckles: "*Sighs* I wonder how the others are doing. Huh? What the...?"

''Knuckles sees a small, round red and black object rolling towards him. It stops right in frontof him.''

Knuckles: "What the heck is this?"

As he bends over to pick it up, it starts roling away from him.

Knuckles: "Hey! Get back here!"

Eggman came out from his hiding place and stopped in front of the Emeralds.

Eggman: "Ho ho ho ho ho! tThat Knuckle-headed idiot is Too easy to fool. Sometimes too easy! Now, time to start some revovations. Heh heh heh...."

''As Eggman pulls out his new device, while Knuckles continues chasing after the ball, as it continues to gain speed. It eventually rolls right over a pile of leaves and keeps going. Knuckles runs right over the pile of leaves, and as his foot makes contact with them, they collapse to reveal a pitfall trap. Knuckles falls right in.''

Knuckles: "AAAHHHHHH! OOF! Ow... What...?"

As knuckles looks up, he can see Orbot and Cubot looking down at him, laughing.

Orbot: "Wow, you did a really good job, my friend. How did youlearn to dig holes so well?"

Cubot: "The boss kept making me dig holes for no reason. I think he got sick of me. Eventually i got good at it. If only I could've filled them with somethin'..."

Orbot: "Really? All he ever made me do was work harder, and when i finished with one task, he gave me five more to do!"

''While the two were talking, an angered Knuckles had climed out of the hole. In shock the two start running back towards the Master Emerald, which they werenty supposed to do.''

Knuckles: "Get back here! Let's see what happens when I throw you into a trap hole!"

Orbot: "Ahh, Run faster!"

''Within seconds, they appear back at the Emerald alter. Knuckles is surprised to see Eggman at the Emeralds.''

Knuckles: "Eggman?! GET AWAY FROM THE MASTER EMERALD!"

Eggman: "Too late!"

Eggman activetes his device causing the master Emerald to start glowing.

Chapter 4: Good Water Gone Bad
The Master Emerald glowed even brighter, as Chaos was drawn out of it.

Eggman: "Yes! YES! Excellent! Now for phase 2!"

''Eggman pressed a button, and Chaos then started to struggle. Knuckles, dumbfounded, questioned Eggman.''

Knuckles: "Eggman! What are you doing to Chaos?"

Eggman: "Oh, I'm just using him to build my Eggman Empire."

Knuckles: "What? You'll never get away with that! We'll stop you!"

Eggman: "Oh you think so, do you? I think Chaos has something to say about that. Oh, Chaos! Time to feed on some yummy Chaos Emeralds!"

Chaos, now under Eggmans cotrol, turns around and absorbs the seven Chaos Emeralds.

Knuckles: "Chaos, NO!"

Eggman: "Oh YES!"

''Chaos begins to transform into his perfect form. As he continues to grow and absorb the power from the Chaos Emeralds, the Island begins to flood, sweeping Knuckles away in a torrent of water right off the island.''

Knuckles: "AAAAHHHHH!"

''Sonic catches Knuckles by the arm. Knuckles opens his eyes to see Sonic holding him on to himself and the Tornado.''

Sonic: "Hey, Knuckles, how'd you enjoy the waterlide? I guess we can't leave the emeralds with you anymore, huh?"

Knuckles: "Make all the jokes you want, Sonic! We've got much bigger problems on our hands, now, and- wait. How did you even know what was going on?"

Sonic: "We had some help from a friend. Now come on, we've got to stop Chaos before Eggman uses him to flood the planet!"

As the group begins to fly towards the top of Angel Island, the now Perfect Chaos begins to attack them.

Sonic: "Tails! Look out!"

Tails: "Whoa!"

Tails narrowly dodged a blast from Chaos, and started to fly around the Island in a circle.

Eggman: "What the?! Sonic! But How?! Syber should've- RRRRGH! Why that double-crossing little....! I'll deal with him later!"

Sonic: "What's wrong, Eggman? Something not going your way?"

Eggman: "On the contrary, you little blue menace. Now that I've got Chaos on my side, you can't stop me! Chaos! Blast them to bits!!!"

''Perfect Chaos, having seen Soic, remembers him from their last encounter. Fighting Eggmans Control over him, it stopped absorbing what power the Chaos Emeralds had left in them, and spit them out, sending them right at Sonic.''

Eggman: "NOOO! That's not what I told you to do, you aquatic imbecile! I SAID DESTROY THEM! Not give them the Chaos Emeralds! Is this blasted machine even working?"

''Sonic jumped off the tornado and went right for the Chaos Emeralds. When he got to them, he used what little power was still in them and managed to transform into Super Sonic. He flew back up to Tails and Knuckles.''

Super Sonic: "Alright you guy's, I want you to stay clear of this one. I don't know how long I'll be able to fight Chaos in this form."

Tails: "Alright Sonic, We'll try to distract Eggman."

Knuckles: "Yeah, dont worry about us. You just go for it!"

Super Sonic: "Alright! Let's do this!"

''Super Sonic then charged at Perfect Chaos and started fighting him. Almost Immediately, Super Sonic started to get overpowered by Perfect Chaos. He realized that there was very little energy left in the Chaos Emeralds for a prolonged fight. He had to end this fast. Unfortunately, things didn't go easily, as the battle continued to drag on.''

Super Sonic: "Oh man! This is going to be harder than I thought! Uh Oh!"

''The Chaos Emeralds than lost their power and caused Sonic to power down to his original form. he then started plummeting towards the island. Tails, who had been too busy distracting Eggman, could't get to Sonic in time.''

Tails: "OH NO! SONIIIC!"

''Suddenly, right before he hit the water, a bubble sheild appeared around Sonic and caught him. He sat there floating in mid air.''

Sonic: "Huh? What's going on?"

''Soon, a small red sarkle was seen flyiut of the water from the Master Emeralds position, and flew right i front of Chaos. It then changedd into Tikal.''

Tikal: "Chaos, You must stop this. If you keep going, you'll end up destoying the world."

''Somehow, her words completely bypassed Eggmans mind control device and calmed down Chaos. He then detransformed into his regular form and stood in front of the Master Emerald. the Flooding on Angel Island also stopped when he changed back.''

Eggman: "WHAT?! NO! IMPOSSIBLE! WHY?! WHY DO MY PLANS ALWAYS HAVE TO FAIL?! BLAST YOU SONIC! AAARRRRRGH!"

''Eggman flies off in a fit of rage, not even bothering to look back and try to steal the Chaos Emeralds. As the others Tails and Knuckles land, the jump out of the Tornado and rush towards the Master Emerald. Sonic, Tikal and Chaos were already snding there waiting.''

Tails: "Sonic, are you ok?"

Sonic: "Yeah, I'm fine Tails. Thanks to Tikal."

Tikal: "This is the second time this has happened. If it happens again, I fear we wont be able to stop him next time. I must do something to prevent this from ever happeningagain. Sonic..will you give me the Chaos Emeralds, please?"

Sonic: "Sure, but what do you plan to do with them?"

Tikal: "You will know soon enough. I just ask that you trust me."

''Sonic hands her the Emeralds. Tha Master Emerald then recharges them to their maximum power.''

Tikal: "Thank you very much."

With that, she and a waving Chaos then dissapear back into the Master Emerald, taking the Chaos Emeralds with them.

???: "Well this has been an entertaiing week, hasn't it?"

Syber walks up towards the group.

Knuckles: "Syber? What are you doing here?"

Tails: "Were you watching us the whole time?"

Syber: "Yes, I was."

Knucles: "Then why didnt you help us?!"

Syber: "Because I couldn't."

Knuckles: "What do you mean you couldn't?!"

Sonic: "Knuckles, calm down! We'll explain everything."

Sonic and Syber then tell why Syber couldn't help, and also why he was working for Eggman.

Tails: "So you have to do favors for Eggman in exchange for the favors he did for you."

Syber: "Correct. And yes, I still hate Dr. Robotnk."

Knuckles: "So he basically has you under his little fat fingers, huh?"

Syber: "Funny, that's what i said to him. But don't worry, any chance i get, I'll be helping you guys out. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to Dr. Robotniks base before he calms down."

Sonic: "Alright, see ya later Syber. Lets go, Tails!"

''Syber, Sonic and Tails soon leave Knuckles and Angel Island and go their separate ways. Little did everyone know, things would start to change on that very night.''

Chapter 5: Seven Nights, Seven Colors
''Several hours later, back at Dr. Eggmans base, Syber, who had just arrived, was heading for the control room. when he got there, he saw Orbot and Cubot standing outside the door. He heard Eggman yelling and screaming on the inside, as well as banging and crashing. Syber started to walk in, but the two little robots stopped him.''

Orbot: "Wait, you shouldn't go in yet! He's very angry with you."

Cubot: "Yeah, he said if he sees you he doesn't know what he'd do to you."

Syber: *in an uncaring tone* "Really?"

Syber pushes Eggmans minions out of the way and was about to walk into the room when he noticed it got quiet.

Orbot: "Sounds like he finally calmed down."

Cubot: "Do you think we should go in?"

Syber walked in.

Orbot: "Not anymore."

Eggman heard the doors close and turned to look at Syber.

Eggman: "YOU! You little traitor."

Syber: "I fail to see how I've gone traitor. Especially when I do not like you, doctor."

Eggman: "I told you to keep Sonic busy!"

Syber: "I did just that. I kept him busy by telling him all about Project: New Flood. Then I let him go and do as he wanted. You told me to keep him busy. You did not specify for how long, nor did you specify how. You only have yourself to blame for your failure."

Eggman: ".......You may be my greatest creation, but you are a bigger pain than that iriitating blue counterpart of yours. You will pay for this. But I've hit my anger quotient for the day. You may leave for now. But dont go too far. I may still have a need for you."

Syber: "I will be outside. Let me know if you require my 'services' again."

Syber Walks out and looks to Orbot and Cubot.

Syber: "It is safe to go in. Just don't get on his nerves."

Syber walks off and Orbot and Cubot walk inside.

Orbot: "Sir...?"

Eggman: "Hmmm....Heh!"

Orbot: "Uh-oh, I've seen that smile before. Something tells me we're going to have a lot of work ahead of us."

''Orbot and Cubot look at each other, then drop their heads down in anticipated exhaustion. As Syber walks outside the base, he dashes to the top and sits on a ledge, where he leans back and looks up at the night sky. Eventually, he closes his eyes and begins to think about how he should upgrade his gauntlets, when his third eye suddenly opens. He opens his other two eyes and looks up at the sky, The sky was glowing a brilliant shade of ruby red.''

Syber: "What? Why is the sky....? It must be Tikal's doing. I'm curious as to what she has up her sleeve..."

On the inside of the base, Eggmans sensors had gone off at roughly the same time Syber noticed it.

Eggman: "Hmmm...Interesting....the sy is glowing, and it's radiating from the energy of a Chaos Emerald...But what does this mean?"

''For the next seven nights in a row, the sky continued to glow seven colors, as Eggman continued to study them, trying to figure out why. On the second night, the sky glowed a bright sapphire blue. On the third night, it glowed a shining topaz yellow. The sky glowed emerald green on the fourth night, clear daimond on the fifth night, and cyan blue on the sixth night. Syber, having not recieved any orders during this time, just sat on the roof of Eggmans base each night. Every time the sky started glowing colors, his third eye opened every time, as if Syber should really be paying attention to it. Syber knew that Tikal had to be behind all of this, noticing that the sky was glowing the seven colors of the Chaos Emeralds. Having lost interest in it, however, Syber paid no attention to it. But then on the seventh night, the sky above him started gowing an amethyst purple, and much brighter than it had on the other nights. That caught his attention.''

Syber: "That's different....but then again so is the sky gowing the colors of the Chaos Emeralds."

''Suddenly, Syber was enveloped in a bright purple light. When he was able to open his eyes, he saw that he was standing near the Altar of the Master Emerald. But he noticed something was different. '

Syber: "Being transported to the Master Emerald altar....Also different...."

''As he looked around, he stopped when he saw Tikal standing in front of an euraisian wolf. As he stood thee silent as to not be noticed, he listened in on the two talking. He soon realized the wolf was virtually clueless about what she was saying to him. ''

Tikal: "The servers are the seven chaos."

???: What?

Tikal: "Chaos is power, power enriched by the heart."

???: .....

Tikal and Syber(thinking): "The controller is the one who unifies the Chaos." *Syber* "Why do I know that?"

''Tikal then walked up to him and hands him the amethyst Chaos Emerald. Soon, she started to float away, and as the wolf calls out to her, asking who she is, Syber could hear her say "Take care, Protector of Chaos...". After she vanished in a flash of light, Syber stared at the still confused wolf. The wolf then looked as if he was taking to himself, until he looked down at the Emerald and said: "Chaos Control? What is that and how do I use it?" Suddenly, the emerald began to glow brightly. The light engulfed the eurasian wolf, and Syber with it. When the light finally dimmed, Syber noticed he was back on top of eggmans base. He looked up at the sky, which was now back to nornal. The only difference was that it was getting close to sunset. He figured that he had just been sent back in time a little due to that wolf's inexperienced use with a Chaos Emerald.''

Syber: "What was that about? And what is a....Protector of Chaos! So that was her plan. Divide the emeralds up to a certain group of people. Smart...but ultimately meaningless. The doctor will be coming after them again.... What was she thinking? And if she was giving the Chaos Emeralds to a select few to protect them, why was I even transported there? I don't have anything to do with this....Do I?"

Tikal's voice: "The Chaos Emerald wanted you to see..."

Syber: "The Chaos Emerald? But-"

Syber's comm turns on.

Eggman: "Syber! Syber, can you hear me?"

Syber: "Dr. Robotnik? What's wrong?"

Eggman: "Where have you been! I've been trying to contact you for the last five hours!"

Syber: "Five hours?'

Chapter 6: A New Dark Force
Coming soon...
