The gang with Vanilla but no Spark, Y/n, or Chaos were on a yacht.

Chuck: Just a few minutes to go.

Amy: This is the perfect way to start the new year!

Chris: Yeah, much better than celebrating at midnight.

Ella: Celebrating the first sunrise on the new year. Great idea, Mr. Tanaka!

Mr. Tanaka: Thank you.

Chris: Get ready, guys. As soon as the sun comes up, we use our noisemakers.

Everyone picked one out of a box.

Cream: Hold on, Chris! I think we should just wave to the sun instead, because if we make too much noise, we might scare the sun away!

Cheese: Chao!

Chris: The sun isn't going to get scared away, Cream.

Vanilla: Don't you worry one bit, dear. The sun will be happy to get such a nice welcome.

Cream: Okay, then. I'll take one.

She took one out of the box and looked down a bit sad.

Cream: I just wish big brother could've been here.

Ella: I know, Creamy. But Y/n said he wanted to go with his uncle on a camping trip for the new year.

Mr. Tanaka: I believe it was a wonderful idea to start the new year off with rebuilding a relationship.

Chris: Sonic should have a noisemaker, too.

He looked around but didn't see Sonic.

Tails: Try that way.

Tails pointed up and saw Sonic sitting at a top point of the yacht.

At an Island.

Topaz was sitting at the beach talking to Rouge on the phone.

Topaz: I'm about to catch the first rays of the new year, Rouge.

Rouge: Yuck! When I go on vacation, I'll pick some place nice. Like a dark cave.

Topaz: That doesn't sound very appealing to me.

Rouge was sitting at the President's desk.

Rouge: I'm a bat. For me, a cave is the perfect place to hang out and chill.

Topaz: Well, hanging out in a hole is just plain depressing. Now I see why your social life's so dull.

Rouge: If you're just going to insult my taste, I'll just call someone more interesting.

She hung up and dialed a different number which Y/n was the one who answered.

Y/n: Hello.

Rouge: How are you, my light blue boo?

Y/n: Pretty good, Rouge.

Rouge: How's the camping?

Y/n: Uncle wanted to find a nice cliff to watch the sunrise.

Rouge: I'm just glad I caught you in time for new years kiss.

Y/n: Yeah.

Flashback.

Y/n was packing his bag until Rouge flew in.

Rouge: What's up, Y/n.

Y/n: I'm going camping with my uncle.

Rouge: Camping is an interesting choice.

Y/n: It's the first time I've spent new years with someone in eight years. I hope I'll do good.

Rouge: Well, can you at least wait one more minute before you go?

Y/n: What for?

Rouge: At midnight on new years, you're supposed to kiss someone. And I thought, "who better to kiss than my light blue boo"?

Y/n: Well, if you haven't noticed (shows her a clock) it's already midnight.

Rouge: Oh, so it-

Y/n pulled her in and kissed her on the lips. It lasted for ten seconds until they broke apart.

Y/n: Happy new year, Rouge.

Rouge was speechless but smiled.

Rouge: You too.

End Flashback.

Rouge: I still honestly can't believe you're the one who kissed me.

Y/n: I was in a good mood, and wanted to get it over with.

Rouge: I hope you enjoy your new year.

Y/n: You too.

He hung up.

Spark: Who was that.

Y/n: A friend.

They stopped on the edge of a cliff.

Spark: This is it, the perfect view.

Back on the yacht.

Mr. Tanaka: Okay, let's get ready. We will pull the strings all together. I will give you a signal as soon as the sun comes over the horizon. A few seconds more. The sky is getting lighter... Lighter... It almost here. Get ready...

The sun started rising.

Mr. Tanaka: Go!

The all popped their noise makers, but when the sun was in the sky for a few seconds, it was covered by the repaired moon.

Chris: No way.

Amy: What's that?

Tails: Whoa!

Ella: What's going on?

Cream: That doesn't look like the sun.

Cheese: Chao! Chao! Chao! Chao!

Chuck: It looks like a solar eclipse!

The astrologist contacted the president about the situation.

President: It's the Egg Moon?

Man: Yes, sir. Dr. Eggman changed its orbit. He's created an artificial eclipse.

President: I want to speak to that lunatic immediately!

Suddenly, Eggman along with Decoe and Bocoe barged in the office.

Eggman: Have no fear, Eggman's here!

Woman: How did you get pass security?

Eggman: I pretended I was a bar of soap and gave them all the slip.

Bodyguard: This is a code red alert!

All the bodyguards held Eggman at gunpoint.

Eggman: Now, hold on! I came here peacefully!

President: Wait, men. Let's hear what he has to say.

Eggman: Mr. President, please believe me. I didn't move the Egg Moon on purpose.

President: You mean, you moved it accidentally?

Eggman: A solar storm affected the Egg Moon's control system. The Egg Moon went into a new orbit by mistake! I give you my solemn word that this eclipse wasn't caused by me.

President: I don't believe you.

Eggman: Please, sir, I beg you to believe me. For I have a plan to make the sunshine return.

President: Well, we do need light desperately.

Eggman: And I'm the man to deliver it, sir! If I don't, lock me away!

Woman: What should we do, sir?

The president thought for a moment.

President: All right. I'll give you one chance.

Eggman: Yeah. You won't regret this, Mr. President! My sunshine plan will leave you beaming!

With Topaz.

She was packing all her stuff.

Topaz: Ugh! My vacation's been totally ruined now.

Rouge: It's a good thing you're a hot head. You don't need the sun to keep you warm.

Rouge: What could be better for a bat than a planet that's dark everyday? This'll do wonders for my nightlife! Girlfriend, I'm flying high!

With Y/n, Chaos, and Spark.

Spark: Is that normal?

Y/n: It definitely isn't.

Spark: Should we go back?

Y/n: No, we can still camp. I bright lanterns and we can use some lightning sparks to start a fire if it gets too cold.

Chaos: I've never been camping, I'd hate to ruin it over something as pitiful as this.

Back on the yacht.

Cream and Cheese were crying.

Cream: I told you we shouldn't make all that noise! The sun did get scared and now it's hiding!

Vanilla: Please don't cry, Cream, dear. I'm sure the sun will come back soon. This eclipse surely won't last for long.

At a conference.

A lot of people were asking Eggman questions about the eclipse.

Man: We want some answers!

Man 2: How long will it take you to correct the Egg Moon's orbit and end the eclipse?

Eggman: I have bad news for you. The damage to the Egg Moon will be difficult to repair. For the moment, it will be impossible to move the Egg Moon.

Man: Are you telling us this eclipse will continue indefinitely?

Eggman: I'm sure I'll come up with a solution eventually, but I'm afraid it's going to take time. I'll have to write new software and run tests. Were I to act in haste, the consequences could be catastrophic!

Man 3: But without sunshine, the planet will freeze!

Eggman: I won't let it freeze! I can provide you with plenty of heat and light, because I've invented an artificial form of sunshine.

Man: Artificial sunshine?

Eggman: Just you wait and see. This is my brightest idea ever!

With Y/n, Chaos and Spark.

They were sitting around a fire.

Spark: So, Y/n, these friends of yours.

Y/n: What about them?

Spark: What are your thoughts on them.

Y/n: Well, Sonic and Amy are annoying. Tails, Knuckles and Rouge are friends that I can rely on. Cream, Chris and Helen are good people. And Chaos is my partner.

Chaos: I'm flattered, Y/n.

Spark: How did you come across this Chaos creature in the first place?

Y/n: Long story short, he tried to destroy Station Square, I talked him out of it, and now we're partners.

Spark: Well, what happened to your arm and leg?

Y/n: I burned them trying to save the planet.

Chaos: And that witch Amy used up all the healing ointment.

Y/n: To be fair, I'm the one who made her need to use it.

Spark: Y/n, what did I tell you about hitting woman?!

Y/n: Not to. And I ain't ever hit a woman, but I ain't afraid to smack a bitch.

Spark: Just because Aunt Cathy taught you that, doesn't mean it was good.

Y/n looked down.

Spark: What's wrong.

Y/n: After Father's death-

Spark: I know what you did. And even though I don't agree with it, I understand that was your way of coping with it.

Y/n: At first, I just looked at live as something so meaningless, but ever since I met Sonic and the others, I look back on that day and I'm full nothing but regret.

Spark: Why did you kill everyone?

Y/n: You know how smart Father was, there's no way he would make that big of a mistake. It had to be someone who worked for the lab, and that happened to have been everybody except you in our village. So, I killed them hoping to avenge Father. Aunt Cathy was my last victim and I'll never forget the last conversation we had.

Flashback.

A young Y/n all covered in blood walked inside a house, went into the kitchen and saw a light brown cat washing her dishes.

Cathy: Y/n, after hearing what's been happening out there. I knew it would only be a matter of time before you came here.

Y/n: Then why didn't you hide.

Cathy: Because I want to know what caused this madness.

Y/n: First, answer my question. Did you stage Father's death?

Cathy: Is that this is about?

Y/n: (tearing up) Answer my damn question!

Cathy: If that is what will put you at peace, then yes I did.

Y/n: You...

He readied his blades.

Cathy: Take revenge on me if you'd like, but just know, it was an honor to die at your hands.

At that moment Y/n began to cry on his blades.

Cathy: You truly are a kind child.

Y/n slashed her back deep.

End Flashback.

Y/n: By the time I realized that she lied to try and put mind at ease, the damage had already been done.

Spark: I am sorry I left. It's just that after the suicide of my son.

Y/n: I know, you just needed to cope too.

Spark: Still, I should have looked for you, but part of me was afraid of what I would find.

Y/n: If you want to make up for it, this is how. And you need to teach me a new technique.

Spark: A new technique?

Y/n: Yeah, you took the grimoire with you, remember? So I couldn't use it to learn any more techniques.

Spark: I regretted taking it at first, but after you did what you did, I think it was better that you didn't learn another techniques. But, now I can trust you with the rest of our clan's techniques.

Y/n: Let's get started than.

Several days later.

The eclipse was still going on and the gang was watching the news.

Scarlet: For several days now, the endless eclipse has blocked all sunlight from reaching our planet. But thanks to the work of Dr. Eggman, our world will soon be bathed in a new form of light.

Scarlet got a paper.

Scarlet: And now a brief message from our sponsor.

The TV changed to a message from Eggman.

Decoe/Bocoe: (singing: Are you feeling sad because it's always night? Eggman TV Shopping helps you see the light!)

Eggman: Living in the dark is not only depressing and a public safety hazard, but it's bad for your lawn, too. The solution?

Decoe and Bocoe took the top off of a small pole with a ball on top of it.

Decoe/Bocoe: Tada!

Eggman: It's the sunshine ball! Thanks to my new invention, even though dingiest darkness can now be filled with luscious luminosity!

Bocoe: If you call within the next 20 minutes, you can take advantage of our special offer. New customers are eligible for free delivery, and installation is half price!

Eggman: I wish I could offer installation for free also, but the robot union won't let me. Sorry about that.

Decoe: Hey, we robots have to pay for oil, you know.

Bocoe: Call to order your sunshine ball today!

Decoe: Our operators are standing by. You better call soon.

Bocoe: The sunshine ball is selling out!

Chris: What'll we do?

Chuck: Well, I miss the sun.

Ella: I hung out the laundry days ago and it still isn't dry. A sunshine ball would sure be handy.

Mr. Tanaka: I agree.

Chuck: We should call for one right away.

Sonic got up.

Chris: Hey, Sonic?

Sonic walked out of there without a word.

Tails: Sonic isn't sure this is a good idea. I don't think he trusts Dr. Eggman very much.

Amy: If we don't trust Eggman, we may have to live in the dark forever.

Chris: Maybe so, but how do we know Eggman's telling us the truth?

Amy: He sounds like he's sincere to me.

Tails: Why else would he make sunshine balls?

Chris: I guess you're right. Though, at times like this I really miss our voice of reason.

Tails: Same here.

With Y/n, Chaos and Spark.

During a break of training they saw all of Station Square in light.

Spark: The people of this world sure are resourceful.

Chaos: I don't think this is them.

Y/n: It seems that they are using whatever all this light is coming from as a substitute for the sun. If that's the case, I hope Chris and Helen got some.

Spark: Who's this Helen person?

Chaos: She's a girl in a wheelchair that Y/n has a really good friendship with.

Spark: Well, I hope I'll get to meet her someday.

Y/n: Not everything is lighted. There's no light in the west.

At the mayor's office.

Jerome and a bunch of other people were complaining to a man about sunshine balls.

Jerome: I represent people on the west side of the city! Why don't we have sunshine balls yet?

Mayor: It'll take time to light the whole city.

Jerome: (slams his feet on the desk) You expect us to live in the dark forever? We demand our sunshine balls now!

The people with him started raging.

Mayor: Let's discuss this calmly.

Jerome: If we don't get sunshine balls in the next 24 hours, we'll march to the east side and take them!

Later.

Everything got sorted out and Jerome along with the rest of his people got a sunshine ball.

Jerome: Ah! We don't have to live in the dark anymore.

Old man: It's not as bright as real sunlight...

Old woman: But it sure beats not being able to see when you go outside.

The President was talking to Eggman on the phone.

Eggman: You don't say?

President: A major crisis has been averted thanks to you, Doctor! You're truly a hero!

Eggman: A hero? You mean just like Sonic or Y/n?

President: That's right.

Eggman: (Thinking: I've never been a hero before. Having a squeaky clean image could really help me get a lot of dirty work done.)

With Sonic.

He was at a place where there were a bunch of power sources for the sunshine balls.

Sonic: You may have everybody else fooled, Eggman, but not me. You say you built these towers to make sunshine, but you're keeping everybody in the dark about your real plan. But I know what you're up to.

Sonic used Spindash and destroyed the sunshine ball satellites and that caused all the sunshine balls in Station Square to shut down.

Knuckles: What's wrong?

Y/n: What just happened?

Spark: It's a sunshine black out.

At the Thorndyke residence.

Ella was doing the laundry.

Ella: Without those sunshine balls, we're all washed up.

In the garage.

Scarlet: I'm coming to you live from Eggman's emergency press conference. The doctor has prepared a statement on the blackout.

Eggman: Today, a Mirror Tower collapsed, which overloaded the power grid and caused the system to shut down. We are doing everything we can to repair the damage quickly and we hope to turn the lights back on in a few more hours.

Scarlet: Do you know why the Mirror Tower collapsed?

Eggman: We're investigating now.

Chris: Sonic.

Tails: What did you say?

Chris: Oh, it was nothing. Nothing much. (Thinking: He'd never do something like that. Would he?)

At the white house.

The President, Rouge, Topaz and a few men were watching the image of Sonic destroying the Mirror Towers.

President: I don't believe it. Are you sure this isn't a mistake?

Man: We're positive, sir.

Man 2: I'll zoom in for a closeup.

They zoomed in on Sonic.

President: It is Sonic! How could he?

Woman: Sonic can be wild sometimes, but committing sabotage isn't in his character!

Rouge: But Sonic can't stand Dr. Eggman. I'd bet my wings that he knocked down that Mirror Tower out of jealousy.

Topaz: What are you talking about?

Rouge: We have all the proof that we need right on that video. Eggman is trying to help us, but Sonic still thinks of him as the enemy. He resents that were working with Eggman.

Topaz: That's ridiculous!

President: You're suggesting Sonic caused a worldwide blackout because Eggman's on our side now?

Rouge: Who knows?

Woman: We should release the type now, sir! The public must be informed that Sonic is a danger.

The president grabbed his head in confusion and frustration and his office phone rang and a man picked it up.

Man: Hello, this is the President's office. Oh! Sir, we have an emergency. We just lost another Mirror Tower!

President: We have to do something!

Woman: Do you want to inform the media, sir?

President: Yes. Give them the tape.

Back at Station Square.

Scarlet: There's been a late breaking development in the Mirror Tower case. A video tape just released by the government shows the towers being destroyed by Sonic the Hedgehog!

At the Thorndyke garage.

Chris: What? No way!

Cream: Sonic doesn't do things like that. It has to be a mistake.

Tails: Yeah, I bet you that video is a fake.

Mr. Tanaka came to them.

Mr. Tanaka: An unruly mob is gathering outside the mansion.

Chuck: Wonderful.

The whole crowd of people were raging outside.

People: We want Sonic! We want Sonic!

Chris: What'll we do? It sounds like they're really angry with Sonic. What made Sonic do something so crazy?

Tails: Sonic got pretty upset when he saw Eggman on TV.

Amy: So you think he did it just because he didn't want Dr. Eggman to be a hero? That's an awful thing to say!

Tails: But what other explanation could there be?

Chris: I'm sure he had a good reason.

Tails: Then why didn't he tell anybody?

Ella: They're breaking through!

The crowd was almost through the gates and Amy ran at them with her hammer.

Amy: Don't worry, nobody's going to get past me!

Chuck: Come back! You're only going to make the situation worse if they see you're attacking!

Amy stopped.

Amy: What else can we do?

Chuck: Let me try to resolve this peacefully.

He ran to the gate.

Chris: Grandpa!

The crowd finally broke down the gate and started swarming Chuck and Amy.

Mr. Tanaka: Leave them alone or you will face me!

The crowd quickly overpowered him.

Chris: Calm down, everybody!

With Y/n's party.

Y/n: So, Sonic is Public Enemy Number One again.

Spark: What did he do?

Chaos: He's the one who caused this little blackout.

Y/n: And quite frankly, I don't blame him. If this is Robotnik's doing then I would also think of how I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

With Sonic.

He was on his way to destroy more Mirror Towers, but this time there was a bunch of police cars to try and stop him.

Cop: Sonic is charging the tower! What're we supposed to do? Pull him over for speeding?

Officer: Do whatever it takes to stop him!

Cop: But how? Sonic is too fast for us!

Sonic got in his Spindash, jumped over the cars, destroyed the tower and spun away.

Cop: My kids all look up to Sonic. How in the world am I going to explain to them that he's become a bad guy now?

In Eggman's office.

Eggman: Sonic's finally showing his true colors.

Decoe and Bocoe came in with a board covered by a red top.

Decoe: Doctor, now that you're the hero...

Bocoe: It's time to make a change.

They took of the top and the board said, "Eggman X x Male Reader."

Decoe/Bocoe: Tada!

Eggman: I love it! Join us next time on Eggman X x Male Reader when the universe is greatest supergenius finally puts the brakes on that spineless speedster, Sonic the Scuzzbag!

He began to do his normal laugh.

To be continued.
