White Acropolis 3AM
Tails swished his twin tails in a curious, and yet cautious manner as he hid behind a bundle of rocks upon a somewhat secluded ledge. He placed a palm upon the ice-cold surface of the rock he was behind, peaking through the corner at the base before him.
A massively guarded set of headquarters was his desired location. It was swarming with convoys of state of the armed robots, alert and on guard as well as the heavy surveillance that came in the form of towering pole-containing-swarming beam headlights, cameras, and red trip wires that darted all over the place
"Weather suits the mood well," came a gruff voice followed by an air of condensation, causing Tails to instantly turn his head and catch sight of Knuckles.
Tails looked back at the panorama of the enemies they were about to face and had to mentally admit that the haziness of the cloudy mist and shrouds of snowflakes that was half burying the land alive didn't do much to enhance the clarity of things.
"Where's Sonic?" Tails asked, shaking his head to rid his fringe of the excess snowflakes.
"Was gonna ask you the same thing squirt," Knuckles replied, folding his arms as he too, cast his gaze upon the army masses "where's the diversion blue promised? Is he losing his touch?"
Tails' eyebrows where about to furrow in retaliation at having heard his hero being slightly maligned like that.
...that was, before his attention suddenly darted towards the spiral of headlights that wavered all over the place, followed by the deafening howl of the sirens and a chorus of gun loading and before the Echidna and fox knew it... the sound of firearms being blasted into the air.
"Always one step closer, but I'll always be a dozen ahead!"
A blast of electrical energy came pounding towards its victim.
It struck. Neutralising cellular structure. Paralysing its victim and making it vulnerable to attack.

One step closer...
This triple stage-darkness has encaged my vision for as long as I can remember. All the dark power that runs within my veins have been kept on a leash.
Restrained. In a vice-like grip. Relentless pain that resides albeit bleeding out.
All I desire is to eradicate everyone within my path. Everyone and anyone that has ever crossed it, is there at present... and that will continue to transcend as a threat.
I needn't justify why or explain my purpose.
My greed is a natural hunger.
And my soul... frozen and broken. Scattered in a litter of icebound shards that cut deep.

"Woah!" the target called out, grinning from ear to ear as he watched the mech robot that received the electrical bolt give out a screeching surge, before shutting down and crumbling to pieces. That bolt was meant for Sonic... Sonic, the hedgehog.
"Just isn't my time," he cheered as he spindashed against the next robot- pinging with a bounding force as he darted from victim to victim. Another quake of bullets and laser beams screeched in the blue hedgehog's direction- but were shamefully too late to catch him.
"Sonic!" Tails cheered as he swooped through the air with his propelling Tails, taking down a flying mech in the process "I knew you'd make it!"
"Tails!" Sonic cheered back, giving him a mighty 'thumbs up'.
"Always using the subtle approach, aren't we?" a sarcastic tone resounded, followed by an adrenaline induced knuckle-smash.
"Knuckles! Managed to get some hang time away from guard duty of that Master emerald?" Sonic asked casually, as he spindashed against the next opponent.
"Mmmm..." Knuckles frowned, bringing a fist down against a bundle of rocks, causing the to fly everywhere and to take out any enemy standing in the way "I trust it's safe for now, back home. At that accursed treasure hunter Rouge is away, so..." the red Echidna trailed off, slamming another set of robots which tumbled over like dominos.
"... I happened to be around Soleanna to hear the Sovereign, Princess Elise's distress call of certain strange activities going on in Acropolis. Funny, I predicted you'd be here," Knuckles said.
"...flattered you're trying to keep up the pace with me red," Sonic replied battling on.
"Sonic?"
"I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anything happen to the world or the princess ever again."
"Just what is it that you guys are hiding that you have to get all defensive huh?" Sonic asked casually, drop kicking another robot ten times his height and causing it to tumble over the edge of a glacier.
No sooner could the blue hero have asked that question so coincidently, would he suddenly find the snow beneath him suddenly start to give way as a rapid black hole suddenly opened up across the parameter- seemingly swallowing the three heroes and the robot debris whole.
"Wooooah... what's going on?!" Sonic called out, finding his body helplessly give in to the gravitational pull.
"Looks like a quake of some sort!" Knuckles shouted a growl, trying to glide from free falling ice ledge to ice ledge but found himself knocked out of orbit by cascading snow and rubble.
"...ooopf!" he snorted, as a boulder of snow nearly knocked him out of consciousness.
"Thanks for the heads up Red..." Sonic muttered sarcastically, before looking out towards a cry.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled, before plummeting towards the ground- the heap of snow breaking his fall. Fallen shortly after to the sudden stop was Sonic and Knuckles, who landed uncomfortably, but intact upon the heavier snowed covered ground than their former whereabouts.
".... oh..." Tails groaned, rubbing his aching head, before shaking his mussel to rid himself of more excess snow.
The first thing he noticed before he opened his eyes was the fact that the atmosphere seemed a bit calmer. At least, there was no howling arctic wind, or whiplashing snow.
But as he opened his eyes, he gasped as he noted his surroundings consisted of a panorama of dark-iced surroundings.
The air was considerably bitter compared to outside, in spite of the absence of the wind.
"Hey... is this some kinda ice-cavern?" Knuckles asked, obviously having got up before Tails noticed as the Echidna tilted his head upwards to take in his surroundings.
"Guess so," Sonic skidded beside him,almost making the Echidna jump out of his skin to his annoyance "is everyone okay? Tails?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Sonic," Tails smiled wryly, before running up and joining Sonic and Knuckles.
"Good," Sonic answered with a thumbs up, before casting his gaze amongst the place "man, that was quite a fall. Didn't see it happening..."
"...you wouldn't have done. Blue hedgehog."
The three furries suddenly froze in their positions, before all casting a wary glance towards the direction from where the eerie voice came.
As if to confirm firing questions, a lithe, dark figure began to merge out of the darkness. An intense icey blue surrounding its presence becoming more and more apparent within the icey darkness.
Each silent trudge within the snow was furthermore marking a deeper dread within the heroes' hearts.
It suddenly stopped. A short but considerable distance away. The figure was surrounded by a dark fiery aura, with its head hung low. Almost like a living dead figure on fire, crucified.
Tails almost cried out, causing Sonic to step in front of the two tailed fox defensively. Knuckles closed his agape mouth, before too, adopting a more prominent and cautious stance- his knuckled fists out.
"Hey, now just who are you?" Sonic asked "you don't look like a friendly local."
The head remained to be hung low- out of its desire to remain hide its dark features, or whether it seemed particularly weak was uncertain.
" Always one to play it so casual, Sonic?" it spoke "can't deny that in spite of everything you've fought for all these years and the odds you've defied in dark times... that I find it comes as a surprise that you don't stop to reflect... to feel the edge of misgivings that would alert you enough to prevent them happening again."
"The best I can do is keep an eye out and play it cool. Like I always do," Sonic said defiantly "at the end of the day, I am just a guy that likes adventure."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" the figure bellowed, the mocking laughter reflecting off the ice edges. The deafly ambience caused Tails to shudder and step back a bit- as if the aura surrounding the figure was threatening to approach him.
As if to accentuate his etchingly derisive laugh, a blue bolt suddenly came crashing down besides Knuckles, causing him to sidestep but trip up and roll over.
Getting up immediately, he snarled and got out his razor fists in a defensive manner.
"Complacent. Juvenile and complacent," the figure said, lifting his head slightly, but dropped it again in a zombie like manner.
"Just who are you and what do you want from us?!" Knuckles demanded, his temper seething.
The figure jerked its head with a loud cracking sound, before looking at the figures head on with flaring red eyes. This caused the three furries to shield their eyes somewhat, before slowly dropping their hands to brave their stare.
"Remember the 'flames of disaster'?" it said in a heart-dreading tone.
And it was at that that Sonic suddenly had a flashback of Princess Elise's tears. Her tears that released a certain dark creature that nearly sealed the world's fate...
"Yes, we defeated both forms," Sonic nodded defiantly "Iblis, the raw power. And Mephiles, the concious mind."
"So you thought..." the hoarse whisper replied "at least, you foolish mortals tend to believe, that evil exists in one form. Habitually in the form of fire and darkness."
Its eyes began to give off a more intense red glare, causing Tails to take a step back in the snow.
"...but what about ice and darkness, hmm?" it speculated rhetorically, suddenly striking a cord with Sonic as a dawning realisation fell upon him.
"Mephiles had a brother. A form that would carry out his undertaking if he were to fail." the form explained "and I am known as Ocnaell Nasus." it said with eyes burning like frozen embers.
Sonic and Knuckles narrowed their eyes, before gritting their teeth and exchanging determined and knowing looks between each other.
"Well that says it all then... Nasus," Sonic stated, swooping a combative arm "anyone who is a friend or relation of Mephiles is most definitely an enemy of ours!"
With that, Sonic disappeared like a flash of blue- a rapid-dashing homing attack aiming for the evil flaming form.
Little did the blue blur know, however, that was he was about to do would spell out the beginning of one of his biggest mistakes.
Before Sonic's spin could connect with the spectre form, a ghastly clawing hand shot out at the speed of light and clenched the hedgehog's fragile hand. The claws sank claw-deep and drew blood which stained his white glove, followed by a shroud of smokey poisonous darkness and seem to embody and capture the moment of the contact in time. This dragged the blue out of his spindash into a suspended, puppet like-form as if he was hanging from a noose- lifelessly.
"Sonic!" Tails cried out, about to run in and save his hero, but found himself held back by Knuckles cautiously.
Shrouds of electricity and light beams solarized the area with multiple transitional energy forms rapidly occurring.
For Tails and for Knuckles to watch this event, however, felt like an eternity of anxiety and pain that was screaming in their heads despite being paralysed with a sense of fear and helplessness as to what to do...
But then, without a warning...
...thud.
A lifeless and faded blue was dropped and discarded- his limp body hitting the snow like a fallen eggshell.
"Oh no..." Sonic, Tails leapt in whimpering- beyond caring as to what threat this would've posed to his life. He fell to his knees and cradled Sonic's head in his hands- before checking for any vital signs of life.
Knuckles, too, promptly walked over- beyond concerned as to how his friend was after the surreal ordeal.
As soon he was besides Tails and the fallen Sonic, he bent down on his knees, but instinctively chanced a look at the culprit responsible for this. And he got a shock.
For before him, stood someone in a different form to the one he witnessed earlier...
...the dark shroud with red eyes now looked like... Sonic.
But a dead Sonic. The brilliant blue had fallen to a paled purplish blue. The mussel was greyish and the eyes... one was red and the other was orange. There were also some stripy markings on his spines. Tainted and faded, but still visible.
The creature smirked, before kicking a couple some dusted snow to the side.
"How ironic that fate would have it... that I would be resurrected from Sonic's soul," Nasus spoke with more substance in his voice.
"Indeed," another voice followed.
With that, a semi-circle of androids and robots suddenly appeared, with the leading red clothed robust tyrant, Dr. Eggman- who walked and appeared besides Ocnael Nasus.
"Ah, Tails and Knuckles. How nice to meet again. Rather rude of your blue little friend to 'lie there' in my presence though," Eggman chuckled derisively.
Tails eyes simply welled up, unable to get the words out.
Nasus grinned at the troubled and saddened fox, before sharpening his claw-clad hands which ripped through the gloves imitated off Sonic.
"What's your ploy Eggman...?" Knuckles asked coldly, his shock and sadness starting to simmer to anger since the doctor arrived.
"Ah, well, I see you fell for my trap? A ruckus I started, causing the Princess of Soleanna to send you out here to investigate..." Eggman explained "yes. It was all a plan. And I see you've become acquinted with Noses in the process? Just what I wanted..."
Knuckles gave him an inquisitive look, whilst Tails looked on, the dead and limp Sonic still in his hands.
"I discovered Ocnael by chance. But what's more fascinating is that we have similar plans for this world."
He paused.
"Nasus is an immensely powerful, but volatile and unstable lifeform who needed to leech off a certain balance of power in spite of a weak noble spirit..." Eggman continued "Sonic seemed the best exchange for this process."
"Is Sonic dead?!" Tails demanded, tears have streaked his cheeks.
"He's been subjected to a far worse fate... a certain curse..." Nasus drawled, walking over to such close proximity, that Tails felt the need to crouch back with Sonic still held in his hands.
"But I don't want to give the suspense away," he grinned with prominent canines "take him to the hospital... then pass a message on to the princess of Soleanna. Tell her that a new terror really does threaten the wake of Soleanna, all of man and furry kind, and the world..." he explained, before laughing out evilly, causing Eggman to join in with union. The intimidation coming in like a closing darkness upon Knuckles, Tails and a lifeless Sonic as they suddenly found themselves dissipating... somehow... away from their present situation.
The dark laughs taunting them and leaving their evil, tainting marks.
Soleanna
The waves frolicked upon the sun glittering shores, with echoes of children and other civilians enjoying the day in peace and harmony in the background.
Tails opened his eyes wide, casting his glance towards the clear blue, azure sky with the sun shining. Suddenly questioning whether what he just witness was real.
For better or for worse, he found his heart skipping a beat, followed by shock and dismay as he found Sonic's limp body not far from him... and a worn out Knuckles rubbing his forehead.
"Knuckles!" Tails cried out "did you have the same..."
"Yeah, it can't be a dream if you're thinking what I am!" he said getting up promptly "that freak better be right about one thing... that blue is still alive!"
"What about Ocnael Nasus... Eggman... princess Elise?"
"We'll worry about worrying the princess later! We need to get Sonic up if we can!"
As the Echidna and fox recast their glances around the soleannian shores, they suddenly started calling out.
"Help! Somebody help us!" Tails shouted.
"Somebody help us! Sonic's unconscious and we need to get him to the hospital!" Knuckles reinforced.

Hey, if it doesn't work out, I'll fanfiction it.
Kind of derived from Sonic 360. Soleanna being the main civilian city of peace and harmony, with Princess Elise III as its Sovereign. Places like White acropolis, Tropical jungle and Dusty desert are within reach and stuff but you can make up your own places.
Don't not enter just cos you haven't ever played or know anything about Sonic 360. I'm merely using the template and backstory for settings but it's not an essential to know the ins and outs and even if one insists, am happy to explain.
Enter the RP anyway you want, with any character you want anywhere you want with any motive you want. Though I suppose reviving Sonic seems to be the easiest as of yet.
Play an official or fan character if you want. Please just full in a quick profile :P
