Roleplay:The Nebulae

 Many years ago, the Retora Empire created one of the most powerful weapons ever to be invented, the Nebulae, on a planet eons away from Mobius. The Nebulae was able to harness the power of space and time to the bidding of the user; its power had no end. But alas, in one final battle, the Retora forces were defeated, and the empire crumbled. Everyone thought that the weapon was gone too... until now. A rabbit girl named Joanna, a descendent of the Retora people, has come to the Freedom Fighters with the bad news that Mammoth Mogul has stolen the weapon. Can they get it from him in time? And then, what happens next? Many other villains want to get their hands on it too. Then, some of the heroes, like the Freedom Fighters, think that the weapon should be destroyed, while others like G.U.N. would find it useful for their own purposes. What will be the Nebulae's fate? It is up to you to decide!

Note: This story will take place in the Archie Sonic Comic continuity, right before the Genesis saga and the Ixis Naugus takeover.

Characters
Below are the categories of characters. The heroes are defined as those trying to get the Nebulae away from the villains, and the villains are those who want to use the Nebulae to take over the world and the like. The anti-heroes are those who don't want to rule the world but are trying to make some money on selling the weapon or stealing some of the other Retora treasures. In addition to the Sonic characters, the roleplay will include a crossover with the world from the Percy Jackson book series (with additional fan-made characters from that world). You can add your character to this list or claim an existing one to use.

The Story
One night, Tails was doing some work at the old Freedom HQ. It was just him and T-Pup until Nicole suddenly showed up. "Tails...we have a vistor."

"Who?" Tails asked.

"I don't know, but she's outside signaling me. She seems to want us for something."

"You don't think she's a villain?"

"Hard to know for sure, but she has no powers as far as I can tell. No weapons on her, either."

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to talk to her."

Tails went up to find her. She was a young rabbit, probably about his age, and she looked rather worried. When she saw him, though, she lit up. "Are you Tails the Fox?" She asked in a foreign accent.

"Well, yes. Who are you?"

"My name is Joanna, and I bring horrible news. I am of the Retora, a destroyed empire far from this planet. Something important has been stolen by us from a large mammoth with a scary face. He took our most powerful superweapon, the Nebulae. It is extremely dangerous!"

"A mammoth? That might have been Mammoth Mogul!"

"You know him?"

"Yeah, we kind of go way back."

"Well, I tracked him to your planet, and I find that you were heroes, no? You freedom fighters could help!"

"Well, of course we will. I'll go tell the others. But wait, what does this weapon do exactly?"

"It manipulates the forces of space and time."

"Wow, we really need to get this away from Mogul. Come on, I'll take you to New Mobotropolis."

In Search of the Mammoth (Freedom Fighters)
"Sonic, are you in here?" Tails called.

Sonic zoomed past, doubling back when he heard Tails call. "What's up, Tails?" he greeted as he skidded to a stop.

"Sonic, I need to talk to you.  We may have a big problem.  A girl came here last night from another planet looking for us.  Some powerful time-bending weapon got stolen from her people, and I think it's Mammoth Mogul who now has it.  Sonic, we can't let him use it!"

He held up his hands in the universal hey-calm-down motion. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me get this straight. Some chic claims that Mammoth Mogul randomly showed up and stole a weapon that does what exactly?"

"She said it manipulates space and time.  Truth is, I have no idea what it does exactly or how it does it.  Perhaps we should talk to her.  She's at Chuck's Diner."

"Well, that sounds not dangerous at all in the hands of some ancient elephant dude," he remarked. "Let's go talk to her to make sure that when she says manipulate space and time, she actually means that the thing can rip our universe to shreads and destroy the timestream. And besides, I've been craving a chili dog lately." Sonic zoomed off towards his uncle's diner.

At the diner, Sonic and Tails found Joanna sitting at a table, wringing her hands in a worried fashion. "Oh, you must be Sonic!" she greeted. "Please, I must ask you....what is this mush you people put on sticks of meat?  You call it a 'chili dog'?"

"Yes, yes we do," he answered, dashing into the seat next to her and picking up the chili dog in an admiring fashion. "In fact, some people may see the chili dog as one of the wonders of the world, with its perfect mixture of chili and dog (not a real dog of course), all inside a perfectly toasted bun." Sonic paused and gazed at the chili for a few seconds longer, and then rushed into the seat across from her. "Anyways, on to business. Tails said that old elephant butt stole your doohickey?"

"Yes, of course.  It was taken by a giant mammoth; your friend said his name was Mammoth Mogul?"

"Did you see him take it?" Tails asked.

"Yes, I did.  It was my turn to guard it, deep in an underground cavern.  All of a sudden, the Mammoth came out of thin air through a hole and took it."

"Nice security," Sonic mumbled, but then asked, "So what exactly is this thing capable of?"

"Well, I don't know precisely.  My ancestors built it, but me nor any of my people today have seen it work.  All I know is that it could control space and time....and I believe it swallowed a planet once?"

Sonic sprayed his soda all over Joanna's face. "It did what?!? And you people just sit around, standing in front of the thing like an obsessed echidna all day, without even knowing exactly what it does?" he questioned anxiously. Then he mumbled, "At least Knux knows what he's doing."

"How would I know?  The only thing I needed to know was it was dangerous and needed to be guarded at all times.  One of my village elders mentioned the planet thing.  I think he is the only one who knows about it.  Besides, if no one knows about it, no one can use it.  Your Mammoth friend may never figure out how it works."

Sonic stood up abruptly and thrust his hands down on the table. "Who even told you to guard in the first place? The same people who built the weapon and destroyed planets with it? Mammoth Mogul probably watched it happen the first time! It won't be long until he's blowing up planets and conquering dimensions." He slumped back against the booth, realizing that he needed to calm down. It was just that he knew deep down that Mammoth Mogul was not one to mess around with. And if they do help Joanna get the machine back from him, would they just be taking it from a psycho just to give it back to some more psychoes?

"Umm... Sonic?  Maybe we should talk this over with the others.  Thanks for the information, Joanna," Tails smiled apologetically at Joanna and pulled Sonic off.

"Sorry bud, just lost my cool for a sec," he laughed nervously. "You're right, let's go talk to Sal and the others."

Greek Earth
Meanwhile....

Percy hit the ground hard, Talon's foot on his chest. "Okay Water Boy, you are no longer 'undefeated' in the sword-fighting arena." He rolled at from under her and jumped to his feet.

"Well played," he spoke with a wild grin, "but..." He swiped the butt of Riptide at Talon, forcing her back. She raised her sword to defend herself against his blow, but he simply capped his sword and jumped over the fence. "Until next time!" he hollered as he walked away.

Talon yelled back, "Wimp!" Shaking her head, she simply stretched her wings and flew off.

Suddenly, a giant rip appeared in the sky through the space-time continuum, out of which came a giant mammoth who landed right in front of Percy. "Where is your 'god' Zeus!?" he demanded.

Percy gulped, but then smiled his crazy maniac smile. "Someone needs to lay off the cheeseburgers," he said disapprovingly, shaking his head slowly.

Just then, Crystal apeares out of the sword-fighting arena. "Percy? Where are y- Holy Mammoth!"

"How dare you disregard me, puny mortal!" the mammoth glared at Percy.

"Who are you calling a mortal, fat-head?" Percy yelled up at the mammoth.

"I am Mammoth Mogul, bringer of your doom!  I was disgraced by your incompetent 'gods' years ago. Now I have come back to destroy them and your world!"

Percy shook his head impatiently, "Sorry, big guy, but I personally like Earth," he replied, pulling his pen out of his pocket. "Besides, the gods don't tend to like visitors."

"With what shall you defeat me!? Your pen!? I have the power of chaos itself, and I command the forces of space and time!"

"I don't know...I've been told that I'm pretty chaotic," Percy replied cooly, fiddling with his pen in one hand, and tracing over an old bucket filled with water with the other.

"You got that right.." Crystal muttered.

"You will pay for your insolence!" Mammoth Mogul sent a blast of chaos energy at him.

He rolled to the side, a trail of water following at his fingertips. "Where have I heard that before?" he replied sarcastically as he shot an arrow of hardened water towards the mammoth's wooly chest while uncapping Riptide.

"Augh!  Enough of your foolishness!" he thundered, throwing more bolts of chaos energy. "Show me to your gods at once!"

Suddenly, a bright flash of light appears. As Airis step forward, she said, " Ok, I have reports that there is a talking elephant disturbing Mr. D's beauty sleep. Why do I always get the weird stuff?"

Siria appeared too, following Airis out of the portal.

Percy looks at the goddess in dismay. "Aww...I wanted to fight him." The trail of water sunk down and splashed at his heels.

Mammoth Mogul turned to Airis and Siria in rage. "You dare mock me!?  Enough!  It is time to pay for your insolence and that of your mortals and your fathers!" He brings out a giant odd-looking machine as big as his head. "With this your planet shall be no more!" With he released a giant spurt of energy directed at the sky, creating a black hole.

Talon quickly landed right next to Siria. "It can't be..." Talon muttered, "Not him."

Siria looked up at the black hole, all to knowledgable about what it was capable of. She glanced at Talon, then at Airis. "We can't fight him when he has that," she nugded Airis, pointing at the black hole.

Percy stared at the sky in horror, a mass of water collected from random places, swirling around him.

"I believe you," Airis replied, while watching the black hole with horrid fascination.

Talon motioned the rest of the demigods to her. Percy ducked under Mogul's legs and ran over to her. "What is that thing?" he asked her.

"Something very bad," she muttered, not peeling her eyes away from the sky.

"Well how do we stop it?" Percy asked anxiously.

Siria looked at the black hole as it stretched over the sky. "Without dying or getting lost in time?" she answered sadly, "We can't."

The demigods looked at the sky in dread, bristling with the anticipation of fighting to save their world.

Mobius
Sonic ran through Castle Acorn, searching for Sally. When he dashed into one hallway, he nearly collided with one of the servants. He looked at the hegdehog with a sigh. "She already left to go find you," he replied, already knowing what Sonic was going to say.

"Err, thanks," Sonic answered as he ran to go catch up with her. The servant simply sighed and went to go look for any of the pieces of some relic that was shattered by the reckless hero.
