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.

He saw her down the road, and he skidded to a stop in front of her.

"Sonic!  I've been looking everywhere for you!  Nicole said something about Mogul getting a huge time weapon?"

"Darn it! I'll beat her one day," he vowed, looking around New Mobotropolis.

"Did you get any details on the weapon?"

"Err...Apparently it blew up a planet once, can bend time to its will then snap it like a twig, and is being guarded by people just standing around it like a clueless, obsessive echidna," he replied.

"Sonic!  This is no time to be making fun of Knuckles.  We need to get a plan and fast before Mogul uses the weapon to destroy some other planet!"

"Well, let's get going then." Sonic grabbed Sally by the wrist and zoomed towards Chao Lake, the meeting place he and Tails decided on, and dragged Sally along with him.

Greek Earth
Meanwhile, on the Greek Earth, havoc was being wreaked by Mammoth Mogul on Camp Half-Blood, destroying whole buildings with his chaos energy as the black hole sucked in the rest. Satisfied with the damage being wrought, Mogul proceeded to exit the zone through the rip from which he came.

As Annabeth lept from the remains of her cabin that were being pulled into the black hole, she exclaimed,"Oh my gods, what just happened?"

Percy beckoned her over. "Well, a large talking mammoth just popped up, created that-" he motioned towards the black hole in the sky, "basically dooming us all, and then left."

"Well, I didn't miss much, now did I?" Annabeth replied sarcastically.

Just then, Leo came running out of the forest. He waved his arms around frantically and panted. "That-that thing in the sky, it-" he broke off, looking near to tears.

Crystal came over and put her arm around him. "What happened Leo?"

"It-it took Buford!," he cried, "He was just harmlessly flying around, not minding anyone's business when the sky turned black and sucked him in!"

"Well, I'm sorry about your... table,"Crystal said. "Does anyone know if we can stop the black hole?"

Talon bit her lip. "Well, in...theory," she began slowly, "going into the black hole could seal the rift. However, it could send us anywhere, or any time, possibly in pieces."

Siria nodded, "It could work..." she agreed, "but it could be difficult to get back, granted we survive."

"So do we just throw everyone into the black hole?" Airis said, eyeing Leo as she unfurled her wings.

"Well, yeah, I guess," Talon replied.

"Wait...what?!?" Leo screeched.

"Expendable people first!" Airis said as she hoisted Leo up and tossed him into the black hole.

He screamed, "I'm too young to have my particles rearranged!" as he disappeared into the black hole.

She turned around to look at the rest of the demigods. "Who's next?"

Mobius
"So what n-" Sonic began to say as a three-legged table fell from the sky. He approached the table and nudged it with his foot. "Is raining furniture a sign of the timestream being ripped apart? 'Cause if it is, then we might be doomed.

Suddenly a boy appeared in the sky, screaming. He hit the ground with a thud, then looked up to see the table. "Buford! You're okay!" he yelled.

"It's just a ta-" Sonic began to say as the table's legs began to move, and it walked towards the kid. He embraced the table, Buford, affectionately.

Then two more figures appeared and began to fall over the lake. One, a girl, pulled up with a flap of her large wings, while the boy continued to plummet. He landed in the lake with a splash. As he surfaced, the chao began to flock towards him. "I'm being attacked by cuteness!" he hollered as he launched himself out of the lake. Two chao still clunged to him, and then Sonic realized that he wasn't wet. Lucky.

As he got closer, he recognized that it was Percy, a Greek demigod they had met when some Titan stole a chaos emerald. Well, that explained a lot. He turned around and then realized that the boy hugging the table was Leo. That also explained a lot.

Before he could greet them, more teens began to fall from the sky.

Crystal fell into the lake with a splash. As she jumped out of the water, Airis an Siria landed gracefully next to her, Siria still holding Annabeth. "Sorry that I droped you, Crystal," Airis said sheepishly while folding up her wings.

"It's okay," Crystal replied. "It's not your fault that a piece of stray cabin wacked you."

"Sooo..." Sonic tapped his foot on the ground rapidly, "What's up, guys? Besides, you know, the sky, which I'm sure you're all very familiar with right now."

"Well," Crystal replies," This large mammoth guy appeared, went on the usual rant people go on when they try to take over the world, created a black hole, and we got sucked up in it and spit out here."

"Sounds about right," he decided. "And to you new faces out there, 'here' is Mobius."

G.U.N. (Team Dark story)
Meanwhile, at G.U.N. headquarters, the Commander got news of Mogul possessing a highly sophisticated time weapon in Mercia. Analysis showed that it held the power to bend space and time, making it a potentially formidable weapon. With the intention of getting the weapon away from Mogul and into the hands of G.U.N., he called upon field agents Team Dark for the job.

"So you want us to get a weapon from Mammoth Mogul that can obliterate planets, to do what?" Shadow inquired.

"We intend to use it on a small scale for operations with major threats on Mobius," the Commander replied. "It would also be useful in case of an interplanetary crisis to provide a threat to the other side, as would be needed if we face another threat like the Xorda.  Of course, first priority is to get the weapon away from Mammoth Mogul before he uses it to destroy Mobius."

Shadow still seemed uncertain. "It doesn't seem like a 'small-scale' sort of weapon. Something could easily go wrong..."

Omega patted Shadow on the back with a big, clunky arm. "Do not fret, Shadow. With the weapon I...we will be able to purge our enemies, even time," Omega proclaimed wistfully.

"Hmp." Shadow let the subject drop for now, but he still didn't feel right about treating a weapon like that so lightly.

Mercia (Freedom Fighters/Greek people story)
"I fear I know not the whereabouts of the mammoth you seek.  Prithee, what is the weapon you say he holds?" Rob o' the Hedge asked. The Freedom Fighters and Greeks had just arrived at Mercia looking for Mammoth Mogul, and wondered if any one had seen him, but no one in the village had.

"Well, maybe Nicole was wrong," Sonic guessed, "It's not like it's easy to miss a giant, two-ton, mammoth. That or he's just, like, ready to pop out any second." He leaned against a tree. "In case he is, I guess we just have to wait, as much as I hate just standing around."

Siria stared at him disbelief. "You're completely okay with just waiting for that monster to show up?!? What if it's an ambush?!?" She paced through a small strip of land, beginning to burn through the grass.

Percy tried to stop her, but he had to jerk his hand back because she was extremely hot to touch. "Fine, wear a hole to the center of the Earth, err, Mobius," he muttered, rubbing his burnt hand.

Airis reached out and grasped Siria's arm, her burning skin having no affect on the goddess. "Siria, we won't let anything happen. Now, stop smoking unless you want to fall to the center of the planet."

"Okay, here's the plan," Sally proposed. We'll split up into smaller groups and spread out over the area. Perhaps we could find a sign of-"

BOOM! A bolt of chaos energy left a giant crater in the middle of the group. Out of the rip in the sky came Mammoth Mogul, with the weapon by his side.

Percy looked up at the mammoth. "I thought I told you to lay off the cheeseburgers!" Percy yelled, while bringing out Riptide. Sonic laughed and Talon simply gave herself a face-palm at his remark.

"The insolent mortal boy!  You survived the black hole!?  No matter - you shall be destroyed with the rest of Mobius!"

Sonic made yapping motions with his hand. "Insolence, insolence, insolence. Dude, get a thesaurus. And haven't we proved that Mobius is pretty hard to destroy by now?"

"Don't you dare mock me, hedgehog!  Now, your planet will face not only my limitless chaos power, but also the power of the weapon, the dreaded Nebula!" Mammoth Mogul began to charge the weapon with energy to create yet another black hole.

Crystal realized what he was about to do. "Guys, he is going to make another black hole!!" she cried in alarm.

Heeding Crystal's warning, he spindashed in Mogul. "Don't even think about it!" he warned.

"Umf... Insolent hedgehog!" Mogul recoiled and aimed a bolt of chaos energy at Sonic.

He skidded to the side, dodging the blast. "What did we say about overusing the word 'insolent'?" Sonic teased.

Percy and Talon seized the opportunity, pulled out their swords, and launched themselves at him. While Percy rolled under him and slashed his ankle, Talon flapped upwards, reaching back to summon lightning. With a crackle, electricity ran through her and she sent the bolt flying towards him out of her fingertips.

As the lightning hit the mammoth, Airis launched off the ground, her huge white wings glowing as she brandished her sword. Her eyes started glowing, and a bolt of pure light flew from her sword, striking him in the chest.

"Urghhh!  Fools - you dare try to stop me!" Mogul released a massive blast of chaos energy.

Percy and Talon, who were the closest to him, were slung back. Talon skidded into the dirt, while Percy hit a tree hard, falling limply back to the ground.

Sonic dashed back up to him after he unleashed the chaos energy and kicked against his tusks, knocking him backwards.

Mammoth Mogul gripped his wooden cane and swiped it under Sonic's feet. "Enough of this!" he shouted as he reached for the machine.

Before he could start it, Siria darted inbetween him and the machine, stretching her wings out. Bright fire flickered off her body and her white wings turned orange with flames; her eyes were as bright as the fire emmiting from her. "Back. Off!" she shouted as a ring of blinding fire encircled him.

Mogul fumed with rage. "You are no match for me!  Fools!  Insolent fools!" He tried to create another blast of the chaos energy, but was hindered by the fire.

"Sonic!" Tails shouted. "Grab the weapon before he gets up!"

Sonic jumped up and dashed to the weapon, pulling it farther away from Mogul.

Seeing that sonic was struggling to pull the weapon farther away from Mogul, Airis swooped down and grabbed it, using her super-natural strength to hoist it in the air while flying away from the furious mammoth.

Leo ran through the ring of fire Siria created, launching himself at Mammoth Mogul before he could shoot Airis down. He latched himself onto the back of his head, pulled out a wrench from his toolbelt, and began to beat him upside the head with it, heating the metal up in his hand.

"How dare you mock me, mortal, with your puny tools!" Mogul peeled Leo off his head and charged a blast, but then was blasted in the back of the head by Bunnie, who had shifted her arm into a cannon. "Oh no ya don't!" she yelled.

"Everyone, pull back!" Sally yelled. "We have the weapon, now let's go!"

Suddenly, A blast of black chaos energy hit the ground. Out of a warp ring came Dr. Finitevis, who knocked Airis out of the sky. He chuckled as he caught the machine for himself. "This should make an excellent doomsday device," he pulled back into the warp ring and vanished.

Airis peeled herself off the ground, runing over to where Dr. Finitevis had been just seconds ago. "Who was that?" Airis questioned, desperation peaking in her voice. "Do you know how to stop him?"

Sonic stared at the spot where Finitevis' warp ring came and went. "That was Dr. Fin...Finawhatsit....Finitevis! He's this dude who was, like, infused with negative chaos energy. He mainly picks fights with Knuckles and the Chaotix, but sometimes he goes all "global purge" and attempts to wipe everything out so he can start everything over. As for stopping him..." Sonic broke off, thinking to himself about past events including the white echidna, searching for an answer. "Well, I got nothing..." he concluded uneasily. He looked at Sally to see of she had any bright ideas.

"Well," Sally tried to provide an answer. "We could start by tracking him down, then if we could take him by surprise..." She stopped there, realizing that such a plan was impossible. There was no way you could trace a warp ring, and Dr. F was never surprised, it seemed. "We could start by going to the Chaotix for help, since they know him best.  Besides, if Finetivus was to strike somewhere, chances are he might strike them first."

"Wait a second," Annabeth said. "Who are the Chaotix?"
