Template:Construction Gizmo Smash and Co.'s Roleplay series is, as the name implies, a series of multiple roleplays that User:Smash The Echidna has participated in. Other main participants are Kapus and Roy. The series generally revolves around the three's characters, as they live their lives in the crazy city. Most of the events take place in Greenflower City; with a bit of a different story than the one in SRB2, as the city managed to survive Eggman's attack.
This is the Remastered version of Smash The Echidna/Hyper The Hedgehog Roleplay Series. The main difference in this is that the story generally undergoes a massive revamp, recovering several "lost" events from the older series while removing others and arranging them all in an orderly fashion. It is currently on Season 4, though few roleplays have officially made it on the list yet. An actual name for this series is still pending.
There were far too many changes needing to be made to the older one; it'd be easier to just start fresh. Each of the episodes will either get new descriptions or have their older ones edited, if the current changes affects them in any way. There are also several newer episodes in the first two seasons, in an attempt to recover lost events and to make up for the removal of the Kirby crossover.
A list of Side Characters is being created here.
History of the Roleplays
The Roleplays first started out around the year 2006, when the first Sonic roleplay of the series began, and is still ongoing to this day with four whole seasons.
Most of the characters already knew eachother. However, The majority of the earliest roleplays could scarcely be considered "Canon" to the series. Still, many things that happened in the past are crucial to the present settings.
A Kirby Character made a crossover with the Sonic characters in an accident, and ended up living on Sonic's planet ever since. Because of that, The conflict between him and his nemisis ended up getting everyone else involved in their own war, which quite literally went on for 4 years. Frost finally lead an all out attack to defeat his lifelong enemy, Dark Kirby. Smash The Echidna helped in leading it. Thus was the beginning of The Final Nightmare, and the end of the second season of the roleplays. Afterwards began the third, which was the last season. The first season went on for both the years 2006 to 2007. The second was from 2008 to 2009. The third began in early 2010. With the main villain of the series dead, it was unknown what kind of hardships might await them.
The first season's episodes are vaguely remembered. Although there were a few unforgettable events and "incidents", which were rather ridiculous at the least. For the most part, the first season was uncanon. However, many things from the past have been brought back in this version.
The Second Season was not so different from the first season until around 2009, when characters began to get fixed and/or recreated, some characters were dropped, and others reduced to mere side characters. It was then when we realized: It's time for Dark Kirby to go. And that was when the Final Nightmare began. Many of the second season's episodes are vaguely remembered as well. Although more of the episodes were considered canon in comparision to the first season.
The Third Season was like a breath of fresh air. Every roleplay in it is officially canon except for those specially specified as "Non-Canon", such as parodies or other crossovers irrelevent to the main story or contradicting to the series settings. It was also the first season to give out names to the roleplays without special cases. Not counting "The Final Nightmare", for that got it's name after the third season begun. After the third season began, all the previous roleplays had gotten names.
Later, Season 3 merged with the second, and 3 became the roleplays hosted on the wiki. That was when the series began to undergo maintenance; cleaning out non-canon events and arranging episodes and time-lines. This also resulted in the three Prequel episodes, which elaborated on the very beginning of the series.
Finally, it had been decided on that it would undergo a complete revamp. Several past and/or lost events had been recovered and archived for future reference. The Dark Kirby Saga has been removed from this series, and Frost no longer has any connections to the gang. It is unclear what exactly this means for his page, now...
And now, without further ado, Here is the new episode list.

Episode Summaries / Descriptions
Here are the summaries and descriptions of each episodes. Unfortunately, since many are new/some have not been saved, there isn't much information on certain episodes. We are constantly working to fix that issue, however.
Season 1
The majority of the first season has been re-written since the time the series first began. Many chunks of it had to be taken out, especially with Frost's crossover gone. In turn, it brought back some old things that were once forgotten.
With all the changes,It takes an almost entirely different tone now. It's now a pretty melancholy chapter, as it shows how most of the characters didn't really get off to a good start in life.
Episode -1: Speedy and the Babysitter.
(This was the first of the prequel episodes. The prequels were made to fill in the blanks of the character's pasts, after several episodes were thrown away as Non-Canon, but this whole remake serves that purpose.)
Speedy, a young hegehog at about 8 years of age, lived in Green Flower City. One day, his parents were going to leave for the day, and they hired a babysitter to look after him. When the sitter finally came, Speeder and Meryll, his parents, left the house. The babysitter was a cat, possibly in her mid 20's. She apparently worked at an orphanage in town, so she was used to taking care of children. When asked what he wanted to do, Speedy said that whenever his cousin Phil came over, they would play sword fights with sticks. And so they did. Speedy had his trusty stick, while Linda, the babysitter, used a mop. They fought for a while, and Linda was actually pretty good at it. Speedy then thought that she was probably the most awesome babysitter that he'd ever have. They had to stop when they heard the phone ringing. Apparently it was from Linda's daughter, Lucy, who called for unknown reasons. Later, Linda went into the kitchen to make a dessert for them. They agreed on brownies, and Linda went right to work. However, that was when the trouble began. She obviously did not know what she was doing in the kitchen. She put several unecessary things in the mixing bowl, including things that no one in their right minds would even think about putting in brownies. She also dumped a pound of sugar into it. Speedy was practically mortified at the sight, and regretted thinking that she was awesome and now started wondering if she was actually trying to kill him or not. When it was ready, She ate it with no problem. Speedy on the other hand, felt like barfing just by looking at it. The brownies were discolored and gooey. And very oddly shaped.
Finally, Speedy's parents came home. They thanked Linda for babysitting, and were offered some brownies. Speeder, Speedy's father, was more than happy to dig in. He helped himself to three servings, while Speedy watched in horror. Meryll on the other hand, was wondering why Speedy didn't eat any-and why they were already out of sugar when they'd just bought some the previous day. Speedy told her everything he saw, and Meryll at first didn't believe him until she saw how the brownies were...different from normal. After Linda left, she was a bit more skeptical about hiring her again.
Being a Prequel, it was very well done. Although it was a pretty short episode. Compared to the later ones, this could have been seen as a short skit of some sort. Especially since it seemingly had nothing to do with the main story. Although showing Linda talking to Lucy over the phone, that was a good touch of foreshadowing.
Prologue: A Determined Boy
This is the Prologue. It shows a preview of some of the protagonists, but mainly focuses on Smash and Pearl, not long after their parents passed away. Smash starts his career as a fighter, being the youngest to ever officially sign up at the Blitz Pit at the age of 14. When the first person he fights ends up being one of the most deadly fighters in the arena, he realizes that things won't be quite as simple as he thought. Still, he presses onward, determined to be able to support him and Pearl with the fight money he would earn.
Episode 1: Enter: The Blitz Pit
About a year later, Speeder won the lottery (and got a good scolding from his wife about gambling) and took everybody to go and watch a tournament at the famous fighting arena: The Blitz Pit. He invited his friend, Vincent, and his family to come along as well. Speedy was very excited to go. And when Vincent arrived, they headed off to the Blitz Pit. Vincent had a daughter named Violet, who was around the same age as Speedy. She was a little bit shy at first, but she soon opened up and became friends with Speedy. He was actually the first friend she had ever made. Soon, they arrived at the Blitz Pit. They used up their tickets and headed for the stadium's audience to get their seats. The first battle they watched was a little exciting, except for the fact that they got there a little late and missed over half of it. The second battle was also pretty good. It featured some guy vs the youngest fighter ever to enter the Blitz Pit. 15 year old Smash The Echidna had entered his first tournament, and was fighting as hard as he could to win. Something about him sparked Speedy's interest, and he decided to cheer for him. Violet caught a glimpse of someone selling hot dogs in the crowd, and decided to get one for Speedy and herself. Meanwhile, Speedy was having trouble watching because of a large sweaty person behind him cheering loudly, and quite obnoxiously. Eventually while watching, Speedy met up with Linda again, and got a chance to meet her daughter, Lucy. Lucy was about a year older than Speedy, but she acted almost as if she were 4 years younger than him. Her manners of speech were still childish, as if she were still learning how to talk. Nevertheless, they became friends.
Soon, the tournament ended with The Shining Knight as the victor. Smash had lost in the second round. While everyone was leaving, Speedy noticed Smash near the entrance, buying himself a soda from a vending machine. He walked over to say hello, and talked about the tournament. Soon, his sister arrived and joined the conversation. Her name was Pearl. And even sooner, the same obnoxious man from before came and started begging for Smash's autograph, and eventually started to attract a small crowd when he mentioned autographs. He also ended up meeting Lucy and Violet, and one of them insisted that they all hang out sometime. Smash was kinda weirded out, and uncomfortable after the man hovered over him about the autographs, but he agreed. After that, they all split up to go home.
This was the second one of the prequels. Here is where things began to pick up, bringing more of the original cast into the story. This episode showed even more references to the newer episodes. Such as the Hot dog stand guy from The Blitz Pit World Tournament 2010. The Shining Knight along with The Berserker, two fighters from the same episode. And Smash was getting himself some 7up. He's known to like that soda. Also, The Berserker was actually the first person Smash ended up fighting in the Blitz Pit.
Episode 2: A New Beginning
A few months later, the group had already become friendy and hung out regularly. One day, Lucy spots a moving truck driving by, and insists that Speedy, Violet and Smash follow it with her. Speedy and Violet were excited about someone moving in. Smash didn't seem to care much, but he followed anyway. They followed the truck all the way to the southern outskirts of town. (the truck was moving slowly, and made a lot of stops, which is how they were able to keep up.) Soon, it stopped at an empty house at the southern outskirts of the city. While they were heading over there, they met another cat like Lucy. Lucy introduced her to them as her friend, Tab. But despite Lucy's urges to say hello, Tab didn't say anything. She looked rather surly, too.
The driver then got out to unload the truck as a car soon parked in the driveway. Lucy was so excited, she ran up to the car window and waved at them, only to be dragged away by Smash and Speedy. When the movers got out of their car, Smash apologized as much as he could for Lucy's behavior. The movers, coincidentally, was a family of cats. Two parents and one boy, who seemed very depressed about something. Speedy tried to say hello, hoping to possibly befriend him without making himself look weird, but the boy barely shrugged it off before going inside to put his own stuff away. After that, Lucy helped herself to one of the things in the moving truck to put it inside. Smash scolded her, and told her that they should ask first. Lucy went and walked right inside, before remembering that she should knock first. She closed the door and rang the doorbell again. The door was opened by the father, who looked confused. Smash, quite embarrassed, offered to help bring in the boxes and the rest of the stuff. After getting the approval, he went and helped unload, along with Speedy. Meanwhile Violet failed to get a single word out of Tab, and soon gave up. After they finished unloading everything, the father thanked them. Lucy suddenly blurted out that she wanted to go to the beach. Everyone else seemed to be okay with it, and Lucy offered the boy to come along as well. After thinking about it, he decided that he'd ask his mom first. Smash decided to offer them all to go, considering that it must have been a long drive and they need some kind of break. The family agreed, and thanked Smash for his thoughtfulness. The boy introduced himself as Gizmo The Cat.
The beach was in walking distance, so they went on foot. When they arrived, everyone let loose and scattered about to do various things. Lucy and Tab went to make a sand castle. Speedy collected shells with Violet, and Smash went swimming. Gizmo was also creating his own sand castle, but he later disappeared from everyone's sight. A bit later, Smash saw a green hedgehog girl jump out of the water and then thank the ocean for giving her a good swim. He decided it would be best to not ask anything about it.
Moments before it was time to go, Gizmo had found something washed ashore. As he got closer, he realized that it was a chao. Picking it up, he soon found out that the unconscious chao had cat ears, not caused by a small animal. The chao was alive, but wasn't in very good condition. He decided to take him home with him. The group soon split up as it was time to go home.
The last of the trio of prequels. This episode pieced together nearly all the last bits that needed to be connected that made The Gang what it is now. Meeting Tab, Gizmo and his family, Gizmo finding Kitty, and Lily coming out of the ocean brings out several theoretical questions. There's only one thing left...
Episode 3: The Young Captain of the Thunder Bolt
This is Thunder's debut. It basically introduces him around the time he obtained his ship. At the same time, Gizmo learns more about the cat chao he brought home.
(This episode was actually relatively new. Originally it was "Orphaned People", basically introducing Thunder, his brothers, along with Splice. It was never explained how they met up with Splice, and nobody remembers how they met Thunder and his brothers. Eventually I decided to push Splice's entrance further a bit, somewhere in Episode 4-5's arc. In anycase, There still isn't much to say about this episode yet.)
Episode 4: (Unnamed Fanfiction)
((Under Construction. This is the remade version of the fanfiction mentioned below.))
Episode 5: Smash and Pearl The Echidna's: Ace Detectives.
(This is where the prequels left off. From here on, are the episodes that were created years ago up until now.)
The RP sprung up from a fanfiction written by another person, which turned into a private roleplay for a time as Smash and Pearl investigated a mystery of a murder. They pretty much already knew what happened, but they needed to figure out how and why, and get evidence against the culprit. Basically, They broke through the fourth wall of the story and into the private RP to investigate, and then afterwards, the RP stopped and the fanfiction continued-with Smash and Pearl's evidence at hand.
Because of the way this whole thing went, it's scheduled for a major re-write. The main things of importance that should be noted is that the fanfiction in which this RP came from is where the gang first met Jenny the Hedgehog, along with her two teammates: Tami the Fox and Tina the Echidna.
Episode 6: Kyle The Wandering Hedgehog
Kyle Tyris, a lone cyan hedgehog, wanders aimlessly around the woods near Green Flower City. The boy had lost his memory, but was slowly regaining them as he walked around. The only thing in his possession was a mysterious sword; all he could remember about it was it's name, the "Gemblade". Oddly enough, there were no gems on it. He soon came to the conclusion that if he solved the mystery behind it, he may remember more about what happened before his amnesia struck.
This was Kyle's debut. Kyle was actually created on the same day as the character he met with on the roleplay. Originally, this was basically a roleplay to introduce the characters on both sides and for them to meet and get along. Incidentially, the other character is currently his girlfriend. Many events happened along the way, and Kyle showed his heroic side as he rescued her from a very disturbing creature in a cave, and fought it off before it escaped into the public.
Now, it will undergo a complete re-write, to compliment both the original story and the written one on his page.
Episode 7: Speedy's Birthday Party
Taking place several months after the last episode, Speedy holds his first party for his birthday, and invites everyone over. This is, aside from Episode 4, is where the gang really starts to feel comfortable together.
(Before, the description said "Another RP about Speedy's birthday. But it never showed that first one. Unfortunately, it was one of the Lost Episodes, so this is what it's become now. There isn't much information on it yet.)
Episode 8: Adventures At Sea
Some time after acquiring his ship, Thunder invites a few people to go sailing with him in search for adventure. They soon find that they're heading right into a storm, but something seems to be powering it. Wanting to investigate, Thunder sails right into it. They then witness something amazing; An entire kingdom, rising to the surface of the sea.
(This is the episode where Smash meets Luna, and they start dating. Lightning meets Shada, too, but they don't start dating until at least season 2. This is an ongoing RP, so information updates will be much more common than the others.)
Episode 9: School life
(Basically exactly what it sounds like. This is where Violet first meets Crystal, and Crystal meets Zap. Gizmo also gets enrolled, after just moving in. This is mainly just to show what most of the characters do in their regular life. Here we also learn that Violet's mother is a music teacher, and that she's taking piano lessons from her.)
Episode 10: Team Violet - The Green Flower Guardians!
(Violet forms her Sonic Heroes styled team, wanting to fight crime. She was inspired by her father, who was a police man. Things don't quite work out...
The start of Team Violet was never actually shown, before, so there is very little information on this episode. )
Episode 11: Return to Angel Island
After recovering the 6th and last gem of the Gemblade, Kyle has recovered a substantial amount from his amnesia. Most importantly, he remembers where home is. The only thing is, Angel Island is in the sky. How will he get back?
((Basically the final part in Kyle's story arc. I originally intended to pile it all into one episode, but I think it'd be much more efficient to split it up, some.))
Episode 12: The World Tournament
Smash decides to give the World Tournament a shot for the first time. Unfortunately, the competition is far more powerful than he'd imagined.
(This is a chance to start some early character development for Smash. To show that when he felt he was getting stronger, he still has a loooong way to go. This is a good way to let him realize that.)
Episode 13: Crushed
Speedy begins to develop feelings for Violet, and vice versa. Neither of them realize it, but they both are secretly going to Smash for advice on the matter.
(This was actually something that had gone on through the course of the story for a while. This is just where it first starts.And thus begins Smash's career as a love advisor.)
Episode 14: The loss of a friend.
(A rather short roleplay. It actually never did get finished, but the concept of it was enough. Smash and Pearl got to see an old friend from a much older story. Jenny The Hedgehog. (Which was actually the fanfic that brought up "Smash and Pearl: Ace Detectives") Jenny had her own Sonic Heroes styled team. Unfortunately, the happy reunion was cut short as they told them bad news. Tina The Echidna, the power type of the team, had passed away. She was killed in a battle against Dr. Eggman. Smash and Pearl were shocked. After talking for a while, they left to investigate more on what actually happened. They eventually ran into Dr. Eggman, who seemed a lot more devious that usual. Smash was more bent on revenge than asking him what really happened, and attacked him. He drove him away after giving him a severe beating by himself.)
(The first and main change to this was the place in the timeline. Tina needed more time to develop, in order to give her death more impact. I then added the death scene itself in the form of a flashback being told by Jenny, right before they go back to the ruins of Eggman's base. I changed it to a now reoccuring spot in the series: An old, run down fortress in Night Forest Zone. Their encounter is much less hostile this time.)
(Because of how short the RP was, the episode is also short. It's also why this is the first episode I ever finished in the Series Rewrite.)
Episode 15: Reminiscence of the Gang.
After Tina's death, Smash and the gang sit outside his yard one night, talking over a campfire. They each talk about bits of their past, and the hardships they've gone through.
(This is actually a new episode. This was made mainly to put more focus on Tina's passing, and the impact it had on the gang to have lost someone they all knew. It also gives some backstory for the characters, though they won't be telling the whole thing all at once.)
Episode 16: Dawn of a New Year
The new year arrives, and Gizmo's holding a party at his house. It turns out that his birthday is January first, so it's a doubled celebration.
(This is also a new episode. It mainly exists to show how much time is passing. Usually when I RP'd with Kapus and Roy, the episodes took place at least 1-2 weeks after eachother, unless it's a direct sequel. Sometimes weeks passed within the episodes themselves.)
Episode 17: The Green Flower City Grandprix
A few months later, the city announces a public event. The GFC Grandprix. People from all over the city, and even other towns came over to participate in a foot-race with several different tracks. To many's surprise, the world famous Sonic The Hedgehog comes to participate as well. To nobody's surprise, however, he won with ease. Splice managed to make it in third place.
(I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that grandprix. I forgot who really won, but they've been replaced with Sonic. This was one of the oldest big episodes that still remains canon. Even though I didn't put it up here before, it was mentioned in Splice The Hedgehog, as Sonic's way of recognizing Splice.)
Episode 18: Crystal's Birthday
This was yet, another birthday episode, celebrating Crystal The Fox's birthday. She invited all of her friends, however Shade invited himself over. During the party, Crystal was given a strange striped chao egg as a birthday present...
(This began the whole "saga" at Crystal's house. There were many more than what was listed, however, they posed no real signifigance to be fully remembered. This episode in particular holds a bit of importance, if not lacking in the substance department. I'm not even sure if I should keep all the elements of this story arc. I'd rather discuss it with Kapus first.)
Episode 19: The Birth of Light the Hero Chao
About a day later, The chao egg hatched, and a blue chao with yellow highlights emerged from it. Of course Crystal, being the sweet young girl that she is, influenced him to become a Hero Chao. She named him Light. Shade on the other hand, (who was still "inviting himself over") tried to get him to turn to a dark chao. In the end, Light turned into a hero chao. Shade started to get jealous of Light, seeing how he always got all the attention from Crystal and Krysi, her first chao.
(Like the last episode, I need to discuss this with Kapus about the changes.)
Episode 20: Chao Rivalry
As Light grew up and got the most attention in the house, Shade was definitely jealous of him. He always barged in and tried to get the better of Light, and always got kicked out of the house because he didn't live there. Shade ended up taking it all out on poor Light. This started up a rivalry between them, as Light stood up to him. Their childish fights and arguments were rather classic. No one can forget the Thanksgiving Dinner fight, where Shade and Light were launching peas and candied yams at eachother with spoons and sword fighting with whole turkey legs.
(This episode was too outrageously hilarious to let go.)
Episode 21: The Darker Side of Shade (Pending Validation)
Somewhere among the line of rivalry, Shade finally snapped. He snuck into Crystal's bedroom at midnight with an axe and tried to kill Light. Fortunately, he was caught in the act. He was officially banned from the house ever since. No one even let him peek inside the house after that incident. This is when Crystal's hatred towards Shade began. Sooner or later, Shade stopped caring about Light or Crystal, and just moved on.
(This episode was around the end of the Crystal Saga. It might be safe to call it canon. But with Shade's character development since then, it may or may not be accepted. Once again, I need to discuss this with Kapus. In fact this is the main thing I was worried about.)
Episode 22: A Journey To The Past
After getting banned from Crystal's house, Shade just stuck with Kitty. Kitty was a lot more tolerant to Shade, and the two had become buddies a while back. Although Kitty liked to hang out with Crystal's chao, Krysi, a lot. Shade may or may not have minded that fact after the previous incidents. Kitty didn't even know about that.
At one time when the three were hanging out together, Shade brought up the question of Kitty's origins. Kitty was the first Cat Chao Shade had ever seen. Kitty ended up telling him about his past; How he used to live on Cat Chao Island, being the former prince of the Cat Chao, heir to the throne of the entire island, being chased out by the chao hunters and nearly killed during the process, losing his mother to the chao hunters and most of the other Cat Chao being taken to laboratories, and getting shipwrecked while trying to escape. Shade and Krysi were rather taken by his story. Further questioning to it lead to investigations. They left without telling anyone to go and find the Lost Island of the Cat Chao. They did, and they found that other chao had apparently moved in at the time. After looking around there, They began to search the seas for, at the very least, clues as to where the rest of the Cat Chao were taken. Eventually, they found a few of them, as well as Kitty's father, King Katler. They infiltrated a laboratory conducting experiments on chao, and rescued everyone in there. After bringing them back to Green Flower City, Katler decided to start anew, and began construction on the Cat Chao Garden.
(There was another chao who went with them, but I'm not sure who. It might have been Sharp, an older scrapped character. Plus if I don't remember, they may not have been very important.)
Episode 23: The Grand Opening
Former King Katler decided to build the Cat Chao Garden somewhere in Green Flower Zone. After announcing this, Several chao come over to help with the construction. In return, the king welcomed them in with open arms once it was finished. It wasn't long before Gizmo heard of this, and came to help as well. When the time came, Katler hosted an opening celebration for the newly built Cat Chao Garden. Despite it's name, it was open to every chao, and even non-chao were welcome to stay. Katler then resigned his position as King, seeing as he lost his kingdom, and from then on became known as "Elder Katler".
Gizmo, upon learning about Kitty's origins, realized that he couldn't keep calling him his pet. He let him go, telling him that he was free to go wherever he wanted. In the end, Kitty chose to stay with him anyway. From then on, the two had declared eachother "Best Buddies".
(This part was not mentioned, despite happening almost directly after A Journey to the Past. This was enough to be it's own episode, and so here it is.)
Episode 24: Smash's Grandma, Rose.
After having another party at his house to celebrate the grand opening of the Cat Chao Garden, Smash recieves a letter in the mail from his grandmother. She wanted to come visit him and Pearl. She was going to arrive the very next day. Looking at the condition of his house, he was distressed to see how much work they would have to do to clean up after their little party earlier. The Gang agreed to help straighten up, and they spent the whole day working. Soon, the time came when his grandmother arrived. She was a kind, elderly lady who got along well with Smash's friends. He was a bit nervous at first, but he was glad to see her after several years.
(The importance of this episode has been amped up a bit due to the following one.)
Episode 25: A Family Reunion
Only a day after Smash's grandmother visits, does she come back with the whole family. It turns out that they were all planning to visit them at the same time on that day, which happened to be Smash's birthday, but Rose ended up being a day early. They all celebrated as a family, and Smash was presented with his motorcycle. Crash ended up blowing his life's savings off on it.
(This was one of the main events that was lost in time. A family reunion on Smash's birthday.)
Episode 26: The Voyages of Thunder The Hedgehog
The first roleplay ever to star Thunder, Captain of the Thunder Bolt. This RP introduced Estrella Marina the Hedgehog, who is now his girlfriend. After returning from a sailing trip, Thunder and his brothers, Lightning, Electric, and Zap, were heading home. Zap ended up falling through a broken plank in the wooden docks and, while he was halfway stuck through the floor, noticed a couple of thugs trying to kidnap a girl. After being helped out of the hole, he told his brothers that someone was in trouble, and rushed to her aid. He unfortunately could not phase any of the thugs, but Electric took over and drove them away. After making sure that the girl was alright, she introduced herself as to being Estrella Marina the Hedgehog. They decided to talk while at their house, as they needed to get home and also wanted to question her about the thugs.
It turned out that the thugs work for some sort of organization which experimented on animals, and often resulted in mutating them. She was an escaped subject and they were trying to get her back. They later learned that because she escaped, all the other subjects were mutated into monsters, leading most of them to want to kill her for it. Thunder vowed to protect her and to put a stop to the organization. There were facilities all over the world. Conveniently, it has always been Thunder's dream to sail across the entire world, and write a book about his voyages. However, Thunder did not start right away. Although he did take out one facility, which was when he learned about several others across the world.
(I've managed to recover about half of the whole RP. Unfortunately large botches of it were cut out, but it's enough for me to make out. I still think that Thunder and Estrella's meeting was fate; their backstories have much in common.)
Episode 27: What Lurks Beneath The City
The sewage system begins backing up in drains in various parts of the city, leaving people unable to use their sinks/tubs/toilets/etc. Thinking that there was a clog somewhere, a team of plumbers and sewer workers head down below to investigate what is happening.
Things gradually get a little better, but ultimately the problem still persisted. By the end of the week, however, it got to it's worse as the entire city was affected. The workers had never emerged from the sewers, and were declared missing. After hearing this, Smash calls a meeting at his house, and discusses the problem with everyone. Eventually they all agreed to investigate the sewers themselves, and hopefully find the missing workers.
(Originally, Smash was called in by the Mayor and "hired" to check out what was going on down there, since he was known to be a hero of some sort. Due to the Lost Episodes not being "Lost" back then, it was acceptable. But now the story needed revising, and has appeared a bit earlier in the series as well. Also it was one of the few episodes where Frost had a rather big impact on the general feel of the plot.)
Episode 28: The Search for Marina
Marina, Kyle's girlfriend, suddenly went missing. Kyle and Smash send out a search party, and end up meeting a man named Rock the Unicorn. He was an old friend of Marina's, and happened to be searching for her, too. They later find that she'd been kidnapped by a mysterious, unknown group. When they found her, she was abandoned in a cell, with one of her arm's replaced with a mechanical one. Some time later, Kyle obtains a mysterious potion that allowed him to "regrow" Marina's lost arm.
(This was another RP that got lost. I still haven't fully recovered it all. Even to this day, I STILL have no idea who kidnapped her. It just might have been Skull Cross...but who knows for sure? Also, Kyle getting that potion was an event on the 4kids Sonic X forums; Kyle rushed over to a person who used it on himself to restore a lost limb, and pleaded for him to let him have it. Afterwars, he traveled all the way to (a different site, actually.) Marina's home, and used it on her. The way he gets it will most likely be changed. Perhaps he will have to create the potion himself?)
Episode 29: Sayonara, Jenny the Hedgehog.
Winter was just coming around the corner, and everyone was preparing for the cold weather. While Pearl heads up to Violet's house for a sleep-over, Smash's battles in the Blitz Pit had grown increasingly tougher for him as the recent incidents in the past few weeks had him troubled. The first person to notice was Speedy, who grew concerned after Smash nearly lost a match due to not resting after a previous one. Although he managed to cheer him up, Smash was still anxious for answers.
After a long day at work, Smash recieved a letter in the mail. It was from his old friend, Tami the Fox. Remembering how long it'd been since he'd seen her, he was rather happy to hear back from her. But when he read the contents of it, that joy faded in an instant. Smash got the unfortunate news that Jenny, his other old friend and Tami's leader, had died. She was killed in a battle in space. She had been battling a mysterious organization, but lost to them and it cost her life. Smash was shocked, and of course grieved for her death. He wanted to go out and investigate more, but he had no where to begin. Reading further, Tami said that she would be leaving the continent very soon. She needed some time away, due to the recent events. She ended the letter with a warning about the organization, and not to pursue them. She was worried that if he did, they'd kill him too.
That night, the first snow of the year began to fall...
(An extremely short roleplay, but it was very important. It actually started as a very short talk play of some sorts...in fact, actually, I'm thinking of Tina's death. This one wasn't even a roleplay. The owner of the character, Alestar13, told me the news herself. So basically, I just wrote it into the plot. But since I never heard about Tami again from that point on, I decided to resolve that myself, by adding that SHE was the one who told Smash, (which fills the plot hole about how he heard about it.) and that she was too shell shocked to stick around after all that'd happened, and left everything behind.
Considering what the previous two (and possibly 3-4 if two certain pending episodes get accepted) episodes were about, it made some good filler to add.)
Episode 30: Snow Day
The next day, snow had covered the entire city. Everyone took the time off to play in the snow and enjoy themselves. They had classic snowball fights, built snow forts, snowmen, and had hot chocolate at the end of the day. Speedy attempted to make a whole snow castle, and Violet had secretly built a catapult to launch snowballs at people.
Everyone had a good time, all but Smash. After hearing about Jenny and the space organization, he didn't even feel well enough to go to the Blitz Pit. He decided not to ruin everyone's day by breaking the bad news to them, and figured that it could wait a while longer, while he tried to learn more about the organization.
(It was just another one of those casual days. There is nothing wrong with those. The main changes to this is it's place in the timeline. This was originally after Smash was married, but it was moved back to fill in some more time before the wedding.)
Episode 31: The End of the World?
One of the darker roleplays. A small portion of the gang were hanging out in front of Smash's house. Pearl, Violet, Speedy, and Marina The Echidna were playing in the snow, with Smash watching over them. Kyle comes to visit, and they have lunch together. They soon get the news from Gizmo that Angel Island had fallen from the sky, landing by the Mystic Ruins. Upon investigation, they learn of strange creatures roaming about.
After several frightening events, Including finding out that the creatures had taken over a few cities and even possessed Sonic for a time, Smash and his friends discovered a box inside of a temple. After taking it out and opening it, he was shocked to find a girl inside. At that instant, more of the creatures attacked, and Smash and Kyle was forced to fight them off while trying to protect the girl who was still unconscious. The girl then woke up, and saw him and his friends fighting, and--to their surprise--transformed into a sword for Kyle to use. Kyle was shocked at first, but then used the sword to fight them off. After the battle, the team left to find a safe place to regroup. The girl transformed back into her original form and told him her name. She was Amerie, but her history was still a mystery to them. She agreed to help them out. Afterwards, Kyle saught to find the source of the creatures and put an end to them once and for all, while Smash had gone to check on other people and make sure that they were safe.
(The roleplay is supposed to be still in progress, but it'd been put on hold. It's also been moved ahead in the timeline to serve as the climax of the season, and having Smash's wedding as the happy ending of it.)
Episode 32: Smash The Echidna and Luna The Hedgehog's Wedding
This came very close to the end of Season 2, and was around when most people had gotten remade. It's exactly what it sounds like. Smash had finally proposed to his girlfriend, and they had their wedding. Everyone was invited. Speedy was Smash's best man, and Zap was the ring bearer. It all went smoothly. Smash even made up with Sam, his old rival and currently his brother-in-law.
(This episode was moved ahead much farther than it originally was, due to being too close to when Smash was 16-17 years old, when he was nearly 19 when he married. So, This was made to be the Season Finale. It fits perfectly as that, too.)
Season 2
Unlike the last season, this one has kept quite a few more of the older episodes in this season. Though it introduced some new ones to elaborate on events that had apparently happened offscreen. It also starts to push certain story arcs into motion.
Episode 33: Casual Days
Smash and a few of his friends were hanging out at a mall in Green Flower City, taking a look around and buying a few things. Things had been pretty normal until someone tried to rob the store that they were in. However, the problem was resolved before Smash could do anything about it. All the while, Speedy had been seen doing very bizarre things. Later, they decided to go to Hedgehog Park, as there was a fair being held there. There were a lot of fun games and treats, everyone enjoyed themselves. However,
(This episode was moved ahead to be the start of Season 2. If it wasn't for the Final Nightmare, it probably would have BEEN the start in the first place. This episode held a lot of inside jokes and introduced Shade's cowboy hat. There was also another short but classic Light and Shade face off.)
Episode 34: Gizmo and Kyla The Cats
Another roleplay starring Gizmo. The whole purpose of the Roleplay was to give Gizmo a mate, but ended up becoming much more interesting as Gizmo learned of Kyla's past, and investigated the strange reactions between the Power Crystal and Kyla's necklace. It started out as Gizmo watching a motorbike race at the stadium. While he was watching, One of the bikers had an accident and totally wrecked her bike. Gizmo was shocked at the sudden crash and stared at the wreckage. He then realized that the other racers were going to come back and hit her. He sprung into action and carried her out of the racetrack before she could get run over. She was still alive, but pretty badly hurt. Since he had nowhere else to go, he took her to his house to recover. He also took the remains of her bike to see if he could fix it. Unfortunately, it was all a pile of scrap metal. So, after studying a bit on the motorbikes, he managed to create one of his own. The girl came to while he was still polishing it up, and was rather surprised about the whole thing. But overall, she was very grateful towards Gizmo. She was also incredibly impressed with Gizmo's custom motorbike. The two of them became fast friends, and ended up falling for eachother.
(This was moved too, but mainly because I'm pretty sure I got the timeline wrong before and put it far too early. I think this is a believable time.)
Episode 35: Zap's new friend
(This is a new one. its the episode where Zap adopts Aqua. I still haven't decided how they meet, yet.
At the end of the episode, it cuts to Pearl discovering Tami's note, revealing that Smash never told her about what happened to Jenny...)
Episode 36: Enter: Team Garnet
(The introduction of Team Garnet, as the name implies. This is a new one too, mainly because it was never recorded before. Jessie and James come to Green Flower City to see Crystal, who was already a part of the team. There they meet Zap, who was visiting at the time, and Crystal convinces him to join.)
Episode 37: Bonds
Speedy's next birthday is right around the corner. Violet admits to her teammates, Crystal and Pearl, that she is in love with him. She wants to get him something special. Pearl suggests a locket, noting that they tend to have an long lasting impact on people when you give it to them. Violet agrees, and decides to get one with a picture of him together with her. Later, Speedy is also given his own chao at the party, and names it after his family name trend.
This episode had it rough before now. It was Speedy's birthday, and the gift from Violet was important to the developing bond between them, and this happened to be the birthday where Speedy got his first chao. But back then, Lily was a brat and caused too much trouble for it to be really touching. With the revamp of the series, more substance and less Lily is prepared for this episode.
Episode 38: Thunder's Mission
Continuing his quest to shut down all the facilities involving Estrella Marina, Thunder sets out to strike again.
(This is basically a new sequel to The Voyages of Thunder The Hedgehog. There isn't much to say about it now.)
Episode 39: For Old Friends
Gizmo's old friends, Mike and Lina, come over to visit for a few days. It had been a long time since Gizmo last saw them, the three were overjoyed. They spent the days playing together, and remembering how much fun the old days were. They then start reminicing on their childhood, realizing how much they've grown since then.
(This episode was originally "Lucy the Scatterbrain", since that was the only other time Mike and Lina visited, but that put too much focus on Lucy and not Gizmo's friends. Here it focuses more on a happy reunion, and them becoming aware of how things are changing.)
Episode 40: A New Life
Smash's first son, Shade the Hedgechidna, is born. The gang throws a surprise baby shower for him and Luna upon their return from the hospital.
(This event was actually never seen before. It's something worth turning into a whole episode.)
Episode 41: Jenny's True Enemies
Smash encounters a group of people from a mysterious organization trying to smuggle something, and realizes it to be the same people behind Jenny's death. He learns that they, for some reason, are trying to steal the Chaos Emeralds and take them into space amongst other things. He tries to fight and stop them, hoping to get answers, but is nearly beaten. During the battle, he taps into a new super form, Light Smash, and manages to drive them away. Though unfortunately unable to learn anything more about them, he kept them from taking all seven emeralds into space.
(This was originally a talkplay type of thing, which involved Alestar and Myself inserted into the story for no real reason, along with Frost and Icicle. Nobody knew what they were really smuggling, but it was revealed that even G.U.N was against them when their ships came to the scene. But this episode has gotten a revamp, so that it can be properly added.
But the other part, about Light Smash, That was one of the many Lost Episodes. And I don't mean ones that were cut, (though that would have been cut too if it were restored) but rather, literally nobody remembers when or where he really transformed into that state for the first time. So it was made official that this would be it.)
Episode 42: Hidden strengths
Keeping the whole encounter a secret from everybody, Smash begins training harder than ever before. He remembers the super form and wonders about the emeralds. He knew about their power and how certain people could transform with them, but was puzzled as to how he was able to transform without their help. He began studying the emeralds power and super transformations, seeking the answer. Eventually through this, he was able to achieve High Tension.
(This episode draws out over the course of a month, since that's about how long it took him to fully gain this form. Because of that, this didn't actually have an episode, originally.)
Episode 43: Someone to Love
After a long time of hesitating, Speedy finally musters up the courage to confess his feelings to Violet. It turned out that she knew all along; she just wanted to give him as much time as he needed to tell her. Speedy was surprised to hear this, but was happy to know that she felt the same. After getting that off his chest, he was much more open about his feelings towards her. Though he still didn't like being teased about it.
(This was another somewhat lost episode. Rather, I didn't write it down because I forgot which episode it really took place in. So I ended up making it it's own. Also, Speedy actually kissed her before confessing. That was rather shocking, coming from him.)
Episode 44: The Case of the Stolen Cycle
There is a thief going around robbing random places in Greenflower City, and leaving strange 
marks in the form of graffiti on the walls of the places he robbed. One night, Smash's Motorcycle is pilfered from his garage. The same mark is on his wall. He immediately calls a meeting at his house to investigate the matter.
(This is an older episode that I kept procrastinating in bringing back. I don't exactly remember all the details of how they caught this thief, but I do remember Smash creating a trap for him back at his own house. I'm not sure why the thief returned to the scene of the crime, however...Perhaps he forgot something important? What kind of thief accidentally leaves his wallet at the crime-scene? It also introduces the Thieve's guild that appears in Episode 46.)
Episode 45: Kyle's Journey
There is an old story passed on through the village of Tillia. The story of the man who left home to find help, for his village had been shrouded in darkness, and returned with the sword that shone with a brilliant light, and sealed the evil away for all eternity. This was the story of Kyle's great grandfather, who was the first to come into possession of the Gemblade. Since then, the running line of 'Kyle's had each taken turn becoming the guardian of the village.
However, the story wasn't completely accurate in some places. One day, the village is attacked by a mysterious man shrouded in darknes. He called himself "Delano, The Black Dragon of the Night". He was after the "treasure" hidden deep under the village of Tillia, and would kill anyone who would get in his way. Kyle challenges him, and attempts to drive him off. The dragon was tough, and wore thick, scaly armor which seemed impenetrable. Kyle, however, manages to severely wound him by casting a powerful spell with the Gemblade. Delano took the blow head on, in order to try and counter. His counterattack ended up snapping the blade in two, causing the gems to scatter and leaving Kyle in shock.
Delano is forced to flee when Keela stands up to him, and promises to return once his wounds heal. Kyle then consults his grandfather about the Gemblade. His grandfather, being the second guardian of the village, told him about the tale of the original guardian. He then revealed that the attacker, Delano, was in actuality the very "darkness" that plagued the village generations ago. The seal wasn't eternal, and it had weakened enough for him to break free.
Though Delano was not at full power yet, he was still a threat as long as he was free. Kyle then asks about the treasure beneath Tillia, but he admits that he knows little to nothing about it. All he knows is that Delano wanted it to power himself up.
Kyle's grandfather then tells him to head to a desert town in Sandopolis. The only one capable of restoring the Gemblade while retaining all of it's power resides there. Kyle and Keela then set out on their journey. But before they made it out the village, Kyle's mother comes to them, revealing that she managed to recover the Gem of Earth. After taking it, she bids them farewell and good luck.
It was a long journey to the desert, but they managed to find the desert village their grandfather talked about. To their surprise, it was completely empty. A ghost town. It appeared to have been like this for several decades. Soon, they came across a large temple, and curiously entered. There they met the man they were looking for. An old echidna, somewhere in his late sixties. He listened to their situation, and agreed to help them. However, he required several things to fix the Gemblade. One, he needed all 6 of the gems to be recovered. Two, he needed at least three Kartilla Gemstones, to help the flow of the magic power of the gems. And finally, he needed an exceedingly rare Star Stone. The last was especially hard for them to get their hands on, due to them only appearing after a meteor shower. However, there was a meteor shower the night before the attack on their village. He then gave the two a strange, stone tablet with a star pattern engraved on the front. He said that it would help them find Star stones. And after that, he gave them the Gem of Fire, saying that it had flown into the temple several hours ago.
After learning of everything they needed, Kyle and Keela left the desert village.
As they searched for the remaining gems, they paid a visit to Knuckles, to ask if he knew anything about Kartilla Gemstones, or anything that may help. He had no idea what the gemstones were, however, during the meteor shower, he heard a crash somewhere up in the mountains. He took a quick look but couldn't find anything. However, he recently came across the Gem of Water, and returned it to them.
After leaving, they run right into an unexpected visitor. Gizmo came to visit, while trying out some new enhancements he'd made to the Magic Wings. Kyle and Keela filled him in on the situation, and asked for his help. First they asked where they could find the Kartilla Gemstones. Gizmo told them that they were not on Angel Island, but far north of Greenflower City in the Kartilla Desert. Keela then asked of he could take her there, leaving Kyle to take care of the rest on the island.
After splitting up, Kyle goes to investigate the mountains. He soon finds that the star pattern on the tablet was glowing, a sign that the star stone was close. It lead him deep inside of a cave hidden in the side of the mountain. The star stone was at the end of the cave, lying in a pile of rubble on what appeared to be some sort of ancient shrine. Though the shrine itself was old, the damage seemed rather recent. There was still a cloud of dust present from it collapsing, as well. Kyle began to wonder if the star stone had crashed in and destroyed it.
After leaving, he found the Gem of Wind at the base of the mountain. That made 4 gems had been recovered; Leaving only two more to be found. He decided to head back home to check up on everyone.
Meanwhile, Keela and Gizmo reached Kartilla, and Gizmo left Keela to find the gemstones. Keela talked with the mayor of the desert town about the gemstones, and why she needed them. The mayor found the whole thing to be rather far-fetched, but she offered to pay for them with a treasure she had taken as a souvenir of her recent travels with Thunder. Fortunately the mayor accepted it, after seeing how desperate she was. She was then escorted to the Kartilla mines, where they offered her freshly excavated gemstones.
Meanwhile, Kyle was relieved to see that Tillia was still safe. He talked to his grandfather about their current progress, and asked him about the shrine in the mountain. He told him that the shrine was where Delano was sealed away. The star stone might have crashed into it and weakened the seal enough for him to escape. Kyle was rather shocked, but had a feeling about it since he found the place.
Suddenly, the two hear some commotion from outside. Worried that Delano might have returned, they both rush outside. However, it wasn't an attack that caused the ruckus. Everyone crowded around a single spot, marveling at the site of a large hole in the direct center of the village, with a long stairway leading down underground. Kyle offers to investigate it, but first asks how it came to be. One of the villagers said that he found a strange object by the old, dried up well at the edge of the village. When he went around, asking everyone what it was, it glowed and opened up the passageway. Kyle then wondered if it lead to the treasure that Delano was after. He then headed down to see for himself.
Down at the end of the passage, Kyle finds a strange altar, with two pedestals holding mysterious objects. Upon closer inspection, they appeared to be oddly colored rocks with a dim glow about them. The one on the left was dark gold, while the one on the right was silverish. Thinking that these two were the treasures that Delano wanted, he decided that as long as the passage was open, he should take them with him.
Later, Kyle and Keela meet back up on the way to the desert village. Kyle had wanted to see the man again and ask him about the treasure, but decided to continue searching after Keela then gives him the Gem of Ice. She said that Thunder found it drifting along the ocean, and called out to her and Gizmo while they were on their way back. With only one left to find, Kyle inserts the 5 gems into the handle of the Gemblade, and uses the blade itself to track the missing gem. The blade glowed yellow as they drew closer to the gem, it's power of tracking made stronger by the 5 gems. They track it down to Azure Lake, somewhere away from Sandopolis. After retrieving the final gem, they hurry back to the desert village.
The two unload all of the required items onto the old man, and plead with him to hurry and fix the Gemblade. They didn't want to waste anymore time, as no one knew when Delano would be back. While he is working, Kyle asks him about the treasures he found. The old man was surprised that Kyle had found them. He admitted to having heard of them from his great grandfather: They were called the Ores of Mystery. The golden one was the Ore of Power, while the silver one was the Ore of Spirit. He then said that there should have been a third treasure which, if fallen into the wrong hands, would bring disaster throughout the world.
This disturbed all three of them. Kyle didn't see anything else down there. If there really was a third one related to these, then where was it? While pondering this, Keela suggests that they use the ores in repairing the Gemblade. If Delano wanted them, then he wouldn't be able to get them if they had already been used. The old blacksmith agrees, but says that he can only use one of them on the Gemblade. Kyle chooses the Ore of Power, feeling that putting spirit into it would be somewhat redundant as it can already cast magic. Keela asks what will happen to the other one, and he offers to use it to forge another sword, specially for her. She happily agrees, but he warns that it won't be ready for quite some time. He then gets to work on finishing the repairs on the Gemblade.
Finally, the Gemblade is repaired. The new and improved sword emitted a soft, golden glow with it's newfound power. The blacksmith then tells Kyle that he can now cast even more powerful magic spells than before, and teaches him a special technique for the coming battle. After bidding their farewells, Kyle and Keela hurry back to Tillia.
Upon returning, they find that Delano has already returned, and broke into the underground passage. When they enter, they are shocked to see that the wall behind the pedestals has been torn down. Behind the wall, was a large, black orb in the center of an even bigger altar. Delano was standing in front of it, marveling at it's existence. Kyle and Keela rush in and confront him, hoping to stop him from taking the artifact.
The battle was fierce, but they gained the upper hand together. However, Delano manages to take hold of the artifact anyway, and begins to transform. He grows three times his regular size, and begins overflowing with power. The battle quickly turns grave, and they are dangerously close to losing. However, Kyle tries out the special technique taught to him by the swordsmith, and is able to transform himself. With this new form, Kyle is able to vanquish the dragon.
After the battle, they take the artifact and cast it off the island, letting it fall down into the depths of the sea.
(This episode shows that the Gemblade was not as powerful as it always has been. A fun fact about it: The Gemblade didn't glow at all originally. Though it was dull and tarnished without the gems, it didn't look as brilliant until after it was mended with the Ore of Power. It was a more silver-ish color, back then.
In anycase, I like how this plot nearly wrote itself as I went on. But there's still a lot to explain, mainly about the Gemblade's origin. I did reveal some of it, of course, and brought back the very villain the original Kyle fought against generations ago.)
Episode 46: Dimensional Disaster
In the dead of the night, everyone in the forest was sleeping peacefully, as they should. Until a loud explosion shook the forest. Startled and frightened, A young cat went to investigate the commotion. She eventually came across a gigantic crater in the ground, smoke still rising from it. A few other people had come to see what had happened as well, but she was one of the first. Down in the very center of the crater was a glittering object. Carefully climbing down inside, She picked up the object and examined it. It appeared to be a bizarre looking Chaos Emerald. Not knowing what else to do with it, she took it with her and headed home.
The next morning began with excitement. Speedy was inviting everyone to board a plane to go and celebrate his cousin Phil's birthday party. Everyone began packing and getting ready for the big party. However, Smash didn't get off to a good start in the morning. A red streak breezed by the window of his house, leaving him to be a bit confused as to what could possibly go that fast and was red. Suddenly, it came back and came inside of his house uninvited. It was Speedy, although something was wrong about him. He was acting a lot more goofy and bumbling than he usually did, and he didn't knock either. After a couple of sentences, he walked straight for the refridgerator and started to complain about how he didn't have hotlinks. Smash started to tell him off, but then that very instant, Another Speedy came inside. He peeked inside and walked in because the door was left wide open and he wanted to ask Smash about what was going on with it, and to invite him to Phil's birthday party. When the two Speedy's saw eachother, they were completely baffled, and in less than 5 seconds began to argue over who the real Speedy was. Smash was at a loss for words. He tried to calm them both down so that he could figure out just what was going on.
Around the same time, Gizmo met someone named Wave the Cat who claimed that he lived right across the street from him. However, Gizmo lives on the outskirts of town and there is no house near enough to him to be considered neighbors. No house across the road included. Gizmo was confused beyond belief.
Eventually, when Speedy was about to leave to his cousin's party, he was attacked outside his house by a mysterious spirit that resembled the face of a blond horse. Although Speedy's parents couldn't believe it, they knew that something had happened because Speedy was injured. They postponed their trip to investigate just what happened, and let Speedy recover. Through further investigation, they learned of the crash the previous night and ended up coming across Amber the Cat in the forest. Upon first meeting her, she was rather shy and didn't open up to them. But when Smash explained the current situation they were in, she decided to cooperate. She showed them the strange emerald, and the "other" Speedy told them that emerald was a normal Chaos Emerald. He then started to explain how things should be, but this place was completely different. Through serious deductions, Smash came to the conclusion that the other Speedy and the mysterious Chaos Emerald were from an alternate parallel dimension. How and why they were here on the other hand was anyone's guess.
They later found out that the alternate emerald had a scary reaction to the Master Emerald. Although Knuckles didn't really like it, he allowed them to investigate the reaction. The first time they tried, a huge amount of Chaos Energy was focusing in one spot and blew Smash down the stairs of the shrine. He tried again and managed to withstand the energy, the next thing he knew, he and the other Speedy were transported to the alternate dimension--proving Smash's theory correct. While there, Smash got to see everything that the other Speedy was talking about. It all seemed so wrong, but he pressed on. Apparently a chaos emerald had gotten lost in the dimension, and Smash had to find it and bring it back with him. Afterwards, he returned back to his dimension. Hopefully things had gone back to normal. However, he was wrong on so many levels.
Things began to get thrown back and forth between dimensions at an alarming rate, and they encountered the same spirit again. And this time he spoke. He was known as Acura Mustang, someone from the alternate dimension. He somehow discovered how to travel through the dimensions, but in order to do that he needed to become a spirit. When he came to the other side, he found that his role on the other side of the parallel dimensions had been replaced by Speedy. And because of that, He needed Speedy to die. No one really understood that, but they didn't want him to kill Speedy, so they tried to fight him. He escaped after a few minutes of battling. They investigated more on Acura and found out that on the other side, he was a very wise and respected scholor, until he learned too much and eventually went crazy and left. No one on their side ever saw him again, until now. Later, It turned out that he was using The Mystic Realm, a realm between dimensions, to merge the two dimensions together. Thus resulting in a huge catastophe. They managed to reach The Mystic Realm and challenge him. It was a tough battle, but they defeated him. Upon defeating him, they sealed the Mystic Realm back and returned the dimensions back to normal.
This was the original beginning of the second season. Because this and many of the following episodes haven't been saved anywhere else, I will leave the full description down here for now.
Episode 47: Smash The Echidna: Target of Assasination!?
Finally, they were getting ready to head out to Phil's birthday party. Things were back to normal, and everyone was getting together. They were finally ready to leave. At the airport, as they were checking in, Smash noticed two people staring at him and whispering to eachother, then walk away quickly. This slightly disturbed Smash, but Speedy shrugged it off, saying that they were probably gossiping or just fans of him because he fights at the Blitz Pit. Gossiping about him didn't really make Smash feel better, but he decided it wasn't too important. A bit later while they were waiting for the plane to arrive, he saw the two people again walk by, look at him, then walk away. Smash started to feel a bit uneasy. And finally, when they were boarding the plane, he saw the same two people somewhere behind him whispering and pointing at him. Smash suspected that they were stalking him. When they got on the plane and got on their seats, Smash saw the same two people get on the plane and walk past him. They looked at him as they walked past. Smash gave them both a stern look as they walked past, and then told the others that something felt wrong. The same two people seemed to be stalking him, and if they were fans they would have spoken up before. Moments later, before the plane took off, A couple of security guards were seen hauling the same two people out of the plane. Smash immediately got up and asked to know what was going on. The guards said that they got on the plane without tickets. Smash's heart sank. They were most certainly stalking him. But for what reason? He returned to his seat seeing that he couldn't do anything else at the time.
Later, while they were still in the air, A panic could be heard from the pilot's room. They gave an announcement saying that they had to make an emergency landing on a nearby island, due to engine damage. Smash gasped and looked out the window. There was smoke coming from the turbine on his side. Fortunately, they managed to land safely. Smash and his friends immediately got out the plane to talk to the crew about what was going on. They said that the turbine had been badly damaged and that they would need a replacement. Smash walked over to it and checked it, and was shocked when he found a brick stuck inside of it. He wedged it out and showed the people what he found. It was disturbing to all of them, but Smash was most disturbed. The repairs and replacements would take a while to complete, so Smash and the rest of them went to check out the island, however Gizmo and Kitty stayed behind to help out with the plane. While out exploring, Speedy, Violet and Lily went into a souviner shop, and Speedy bought a funny top hat with a tongue sticking out of it, and a necklace for Violet since he noticed that she looked interested in buying it. Smash went to get a snack and check out the hotel that they would be staying in for the night.
That night, Smash and Speedy were walking around the hotel before they went to their rooms. Smash noticed two people look at him and start whispering to eachother, then walk away. Smash pointed that out to Speedy and said that something was still very wrong. But he would investigate later since he was supposed to check into his room. Moments later, they all went into their assigned rooms. Smash found out that his room had a serious water problem. The water sinks were backing up and there was nasty black stuff coming out the faucet and the shower, not to mention his tub was frighteningly filthy. He demanded another room. The girls seemed to be content with their room. Later that night, A bunch of commotion could be heard from Speedy's room. There was a spider on one of their beds and it frightened everyone. It then introduced the fact that Speedy's family has a large fear for spiders. After being woken up from the screaming, Smash didn't go right back to bed. He went outside to catch a bit of fresh air. While he was out there, Smash heard a bit of commotion coming from the lounge. He looked in there and found the same two people arguing about something about something they knocked over. But when they saw him, they immediately stood infront of it and said that nothing was wrong. Smash played convinced and pretended to walk away, but then peeked back in to the room. They definitely seemed suspicious. He quickly walked away and pretended to be examining a soda machine when they walked out the room. They looked at him strangely, then left. "We're onto eachother" were the exact thoughts that ran through Smash's mind as he slit his eyes at them while they walked away.
He then walked back outside to relax and think about the situation. While he was standing outside, leaning on the wall of the building, His sister came out and told him that she found a very weird looking fly and caught it. Smash took it into his hands and examined it. It certainly looked like a fly, but it was hard. It was made of metal. Smash decided to take it to Gizmo to see if he could figure out what it was. When he got to Gizmo's room, he woke him up and asked him to look at it. Gizmo was reluctant since he was half sleep. But he woke right up when the fly flew right out of Smash's hand and buzzed around their faces frantically before flying out the window. Smash knew that it was definitely not a fly, and had a pretty good feeling he knew what it was.
The next morning, There was a huge riot going on in the plaza. Smash went to check it out and found that someone poured cement all over the local flower garden. The people were furious about it. Smash found this extremely strange and went to investigate. Upon investigating, one of his friends found a man snooping around the plaza and said that he snuck into the alleyway. They went after him to see what he was up to. While following him through the alleyway, they came to a corner. When they turned, the man was gone. They searched the entire area but couldn't find out where he went. They eventually left to look somewhere else for clues. A bit later, They realized that Violet had gone missing. They went to search for her, retracing their steps back to the alleyway. While inspecting the alleyway again, They suddenly noticed a panic going on throughout the city. The forest that lay right next to the city was on fire. Everyone jumped into action and did what they could to put it out. Once the fire was out, they started to investigate the area to see what started the fire. The whole area was burnt down, but they managed to find something peculiar. It was a burnt piece of metal, but Gizmo managed to find out what it was. It was the remains of a remote control time bomb. Someone had bombed the forest. And one of Smash's friends had stayed in there for the night, although she was found alright. Smash was now extremely worried. Someone was still after him, even on this island, Violet had gone missing, the forest was burned down and the flower garden was cemented, and the townsfolk's angry eyes were on them. Smash further conducted his investigation, and finally discovered a secret in the alleyway which lead into an underground passage.
Down inside, Smash found a secret hideout, and a bunch of thugs inside discussing something. Violet was also tied up in the room. Smash and his friends quietly devised a plan to get him out, but before they could come up with anything, Someone came into the passage. He saw them and gasped. Speedy immediately jumped him and beat him down. This obviously alarmed the thugs in the other room and they started to come out. Everyone hurried out the passageway and made it into the alleyway. However, the thugs caught up to them. Smash stepped forward and told them that he knew everything. He knew that they were trying to kill him and demanded to know why, and why they kidnapped his friend. They said that a lot of money was on his head, and they were just in it for the cash. Smash told them to come and get him, he would take them all on. Everyone else backed him up while Pearl made a break for the secret passageway to save Violet. One of the thugs tried to stop her, but Smash killed him and and allowed her to keep going. Everyone else jumped into the fight and took them all on. They were a bit outnumbered, but they managed to defeat them all. The police soon came in to see what was going on and arrested the thugs. However, a few had escaped the scene before the police arrived. Soon afterwards, the townsfolk forgave them for accusing them of all the trouble, and the plane was finally fixed. They gave their final farewells and re-boarded the plane, which took off towards their original destination. Everyone was glad that it was all over, but there was still a problem. Why was there money on Smash's head? Who hired them to kill him? Smash thought that he defeated all of his enemies, but there was still someone who held a grudge.
They finally made it to the party, and gave a thousand apologies for being incredibly late. They didn't seem to believe their excuses, but they just shrugged it off and went along with the party. It was a lot of fun and it took their minds off of the troubles for a while.
When they got back home, Smash had a pending match at the Blitz Pit, and decided to take it on now. A few of his friends came to watch how he did. His match was up against Brian The Hedgehog, A guy who Smash refers to as "A tenacious cream puff.". Smash came into the ring with confidence, however, Brian came in with fury in his eyes. Smash noticed a disturbing difference in his appearance and was immediately set onto the defensive. Once the match began, Brian practically lunged at Smash. He was a lot faster, stronger, tougher, and crazier than he usually was. Smash fought with all he had, but Brian began to overpower him. Smash pulled every trick in the book, and even powered himself up to high tension, yet Brian wouldn't fall. He didn't even seem to get tired. Eventually, Smash exhausted all his strength, and Brian took advantage of him. He literally mopped the floor with him and stomped him into the ground. Smash was barely conscious afterwards. However, he did not want to go to a hospital or be escorted out of the arena. He went back home by himself. The moment he got back though, he collapsed on the couch and told his friends about what was happened. He suspected that something happened to Brian, and they needed to investigate for him. He physically could not move any more. Luna was able to heal him, but he still needed rest. On a previous mystery, they had discovered a thieves guild in Green Flower City. They decided to pay it another visit to see if anything was going on. They found out that there were thieves from here who were out on that island that they landed on first who got arrested. They left and decided to see what was going on with Brian. They caught a glimpse of him talking to two thugs, one of them they recognized as one from the island. They managed to hear a bit of what was going on, and it was evident that he was the one who hired them. He appeared to want to fire them now. They told Smash about what they found out. Smash immediately got up, disturbed, and checked a picture frame on his table in the livingroom. Brian had previously given him a picture frame as a gift for unknown reasons. Smash discovered a spy camera located on it, and destroyed it immediately. He knew that they were in trouble. Smash said that he was feeling well enough to have a rematch with him. He went into his training room and brought out the seven Chaos Emeralds (on the previous episode, they needed the Chaos Emeralds to get into the Mystic Realm, so thats why he still has them.) and went to Brian's house--Just in time to catch him with a strange bottle, which happened to be a drug.
Smash had finally found out everything. Brian was jealous of him because he never could beat him, and wanted to become Number 1. But with Smash in the way, there was no way he could do that. So he had to have him eliminated. He hired someone to kill him. They tried to make the plane crash or blow up. But that failed, and they landed on an island. He had people positioned there as a plan B to kill him there. They spied on him and tried to blow up one of his friends, kidnapped his other friend for bait, and no one knew why they cemented the flower garden. But Smash found them first, and he defeated them. With that plan gone, he had to resort to using a drug to power him up. However, that plan failed as he is not allowed to kill another person in the Blitz Pit or he would never become number #1. He then gave him a "Reason You Suck Speech" over how pathetic he was to have to cheat to beat him, and he didn't deserve to even be a fighter at the Blitz Pit. Smash then told him that he would like to either have a rematch fair and square, or test out his "drugified" state against his super form, as he held out the Chaos Emeralds. Brian looked frightened, and couldn't decide what to do. He ended up running away. Smash scoffed at him as he watched him run. It wasn't long until some "dignified" looking thief came back to them with Brian completely tied up. He told them that they could do whatever they wanted with him, as he doesn't take such despicable jobs. Brian had come to try and get him to kill Smash again, but he was refused. Smash was very disappointed with the fact that he couldn't beat him up, and just decided to turn him in to the police. Luckily, Speedy's father is a policeman, and he was already very familiar with the situation. He took Brian to jail, and that was the last they heard of him. Smash was still disappointed, and decided to start some training in his super form. Just then, the Chaos Emeralds randomly separated.
Smash felt cheated.
(Some changes had to take place, since Frost was an active hero in this story. It's a bit of a shame too, since Frost had quite a few funny moments here. (Mainly the incident with the pink squid in the hotel's tub.) There are a few other things here that I realize I didn't write out very well, but remember, this isn't the final version. I figured I'd fix the stuff when I get to it in the actual re-write.
Oh yeah, and Brian. I felt as cheated as Smash did when the emeralds separated. But I'm not worried; Smash will get his real revenge on Brian soon enough....)
Episode 48: Camp Crystal
It was finally break time from all the insanity. Everyone was going to a new camp that was opening up to have a bit of a vacation. Smash and Luna were too old to really enter the activities and such, so they just decided to come along as guests and watch over the whole thing. While everyone was preparing for the day, Speedy decided to hang around in the park for a bit. He met up with Lily, and they began to chat a bit until they discovered the remains of a Hedgehog/Echidna hybrid in the park. Speedy, being highly concerned about this, told Smash about it. Smash was also concerned, Especially since he had just had his first child with Luna, who was also a hybrid between the two species. But he didn't know where to begin in investigating, so they just told the park owner and he took care of it.
The next day, they all gathered around the bus stop, heading off to Camp Crystal. Crystal herself was especially excited, not because the camp had the same name as her, but because her old friend Jessie Garnet had come down from Emerald town to join them. On his way there to meet up with everyone else, Smash and Luna passed by a large building that struck him as suspicious. The building looked rather large and important, but he couldn't find a single door or window on it. They began to feel uneasy about the place, but knew he had to hurry up or they'd be late. They arrived just as the others boarded the bus. They hurried inside, apologizing for being late. The two decided to tell them about the building when they got back.
Once they got there, they were split into pairs as cabin mates. Smash and Luna were guests, so they didn't count. Splice teamed up with Lily, Speedy with Violet, Tab with Lucy, Thunder with Lightning, Roy with Lisa, (Those two characters never made any other appearances, so it may end up being a cameo if they stay at all.) Crystal with Jessie, Gizmo with Kitty, Shade and Hyper both teamed up with two unfamiliar people, and finally, Zap with Pearl, since no one else was around that she would team up with. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, although they did discover a cave behind the water fall in the park of the camp which had fresh Topaz' growing inside.
There was a science contest opening up there, whoever could make the most interesting contraption would win a gold trophy. Of course, everyone entered. The pairs tried to come up with whatever they could. They were allowed to use material of any kind. In the end, Gizmo and Kitty came in first for creating the "Remote Control Bow&arrows". Lucy and Tab came in second for creating jet shoes, to boost one's running speed. Speedy and Violet came in third for creating a house/motor raft which they called "The Axium". Crystal and Jessie put a light inside of one of the topaz' and made a pretty light. They also showed how it could make a flashlight by putting it inside of an empty paper towel roll with a magnifying glass taped to the other side. Pearl and Zap modified a bike to have two seats. Thunder and Lightning made a lightning rod, but they couldn't demonstrate it without a storm. As for Splice and Lily, Splice was tormented day and night by Lily and couldn't come up with anything to make. Lily secretly made a "contraption" which looked like an elephant doll with random objects sticking out of it including a fan and random springs. When she turned it on, it smoked and sparked as if it were about to catch on fire. She called it "The Doorknob". She got one vote for that personally from the judge himself. Splice didn't know whether to tear his quills out in frustration or break down crying.
Soon, it was time to go home. Pretty much everyone was satisfied from their vacation. Although Splice could scarcely call it a vacation.
Camp Crystal was a fun RP and I'd love to do another one like it. I especially enjoyed it because I had wanted to do a camp just like it, except more based on sports-like events instead of science contests. That was where Jessie was originally supposed to debut, but I could never really get it to work out, even in my head. Thinking of it now, I may have been inspired by Camp Meadowcroak from Arthur.
Also, Thunder's Lightning Rod was intended to be a new weapon for him. I don't remember when I first considered weaponizing it, it may have been then or it may have been recently. Either way, I'd forgotten up till now that it was already shown in story.
Episode 49: The Secret of the Mutants
A few weeks after their return from Camp Crystal, Smash was talking a walk in the city with a couple of friends. The group stopped in front of a large building when they heard a loud noise. A strange object came flying out of the only window of the building due to an explosion on the inside. Smash found it, and looked up at the building. The window was very high, about three stories high. It was on the same building as before, the one with no visible entrance. Knowing that something was very suspicious about this all, he brought it to Lucy to examine it. She said that it would take a while for her to do a full job, so he decided to come back later. The next day, the gang all get the news that Lucy had been kidnapped. They search for her, and then find her in an alleyway just fine. She told them that she wasn't harmed, but the people that kidnapped her stole the machine and ran off.
About two days later, Hyper came to Smash's house, which wasn't exactly usual. Hyper didn't often come to visit him. He told Smash that he found a "Thing" in his front yard. And it was dead. And it smelled absolutely terrible. Smash went to check it out and found a dead Fox/Wolf/Mutatant thing lying right where he told him. Speedy came over and saw it as well, and both he and Smash were thinking the same thing. Something's up. They went to talk to Tab about it, and while they were talking outside of her house with her, they saw two men walk by on the sidewalk. They both stopped, looked at them and then whispered to eachother, and then left quickly. Smash was even more concerned, seeing how the last time he saw that, he nearly got killed. He then got the idea to follow them. He and the others pursued them into an alleyway--and ran into Shade on the way. Curious, Shade tagged along as they kept following them until they got to a corner. When they looked, the men were gone. They searched the area, but found nothing. However, they were right next to the mysterious building with no entrance. Smash immediately knew that they had somehow gotten in there. There had to be a way in somehow.
They searched all over for an entrance, and soon found one in a secret manhole which lead to the sewers. However, there was a passage that lead into a dark facility. At the entrance, they overheard a few people talking about creatures getting lose from there, and that they were test subjects for something. One of them suggested they use Chao for their experiments to help stop the subjects from going crazy. One of them also mentioned that they found "Him". Even Smash was scared when he overheard the conversation. From what they could understand if they linked that to the creatures found dead in the park and infront of Hyper's house, and the two men that spotted and whispered to eachother about them before running back here, they were kidnapping people off the street and mutating them. He wanted to go in and check out what was going on, but there were security cameras littering the place. They immediately left to go back.
The moment Smash got home, he called everyone to his house for a meeting to fill them in on what's going on. They soon devised a plan to get inside. Gizmo, Lucy and Kitty were to create something that would disable the cameras so that they could get inside, while Smash and a few other people were to go around to see a few other friends who didn't attend to the meeting and gather them up at his house for safety. Once everyone did their parts, they moved onto part two of their planning. Gizmo, Kitty and Lucy created a dart gun that shoots electrified needles which were designed to completely disable almost any electronic. Smash and Speedy then came up with the idea for Kitty and Shade to find a way into the air vents and find the main source of the security system and disable the cameras, and also have the computers that show what's recording pause when nobody was on either camera. Once that was done, the other team would go in and find out what's going on without being detected. The team for infiltration was Smash, Splice, Gizmo, Tab, Speedy, and Jessie, who was still visiting from out of town. Everyone else was to stay at Smash's house and wait incase they called.
Finally, they were ready to put their plan into action. Kitty and Shade made their way through the ducts, and when they came to the security room, only three people were in there. They had to do a sneak attack on them. With the "Chaff Gun", the dart gun they made, Kitty was able to paralyze the men. They ended up tying them up with an electrical cord to something Shade cut and shoving them into the closet. They also had to gag them to make sure they didn't cry out for help. After that, they called Smash to tell him that they were ready. Smash's team moved in and explored the area. They had a few close calls, but they managed to go undetected for the most part. They did run into one person, but they all jumped him at the same time and knocked him out cold. They then came to one room and found something horrifying. Test Tubes sat on both sides of the room, opposite from eachother. In there, there were normal people slowly being transformed into mutants. There was another room across from where they entered, but it was locked by a keycard and a handprint scanner. They used the guard that they had just knocked out to get in. However, they quickly had to leave because someone was coming from another room across from the entrance. After hearing voices for a few moments, and then a blood curdling scream, Kitty and Shade found the room via air duct, but they found themselves directly under the table that the man in there was using to work on his subject. It turned out that they were infusing Chaos Energy forcefully into their subject's bodies, along with things called "Elemental Rings". But doing so made their subjects go insane and hostile, and soon die. This one appeared to be a success, as it awoke in almost a dazed state, and obeyed every command given to him. The man then went into the other room, and Kitty opened the grate to go and open the door for everyone else to come in. They told them what happened, and they were horrified.
They went into the room that the man went in and found that it lead downstairs. They went down a long, spiraling starcase, until they came to a laboratory room. They saw a bunch of men in there working on one person, a green female echidna. The area was pretty secure, so they left. When they got back to the room with the test tubes, they started to discuss what they found out. They found out what they were doing, but they had no idea what their motive was or who was in charge. They went to search other areas of the building, and then came across a room with a window. However, they didn't go inside because someone was in there. But when they peeked in, they saw a large piece of furniture infront of a window, and a man sitting at a table which had the same object that Lucy was kidnapped for. This confirmed their location. Moments later, they heard someone coming and they had to leave. They all then met up at Smash's house. Smash explained everything that was currently going on, and then they waited a couple of days before going back to see what they could do. When they got there, they saw some of the people working there hiring Chao Hunters to go to a chao garden hidden in Fox Forest, the same forest that Amber lived in. They immediately contacted Kitty and Shade, who were going through their last routine, to tell them what they found out. Angered, Gizmo took the phone from Smash and called back to his house to tell everyone else. He told them to go to the Chao Garden and ambush them. Kitty and Shade joined them shortly afterwards.
Later, things started to get crazy. They found a route leading to the sewers as an alternate exit, and found some of the workers getting chased by a giant slime monster--identical to the one Smash was hired to kill recently. They went back into the facility to investigate more. They found out that they were going to get a certain ore from the minds in a desert town far to the north. And then when they were in the room with the test tubes, one of the mutants escaped and the lights went out. They heard screaming and sirens going off, security running by without even noticing them, and then they heard that the slime monster that was in the sewers was inside the building attacking people. Through all the insanity, Smash found the chance to rescue one of the people who had not yet turned into a mutant from the test tubes, and tried to find a way to escape in the dark with only the lights from the warning sirens illuminating their path. Meanwhile with the others, they had successfully defeated the Chao hunters, and met a cat who lived in a village nearby. They learned of his tribe and how they had to leave their old home due to a massive forest fire, and they relocated here. Speedy, Violet and Shade had seen the same old burnt down village months back.
Later, everyone met back at Smash's house to discuss what was going on. They decided that they'd have to wait a while before going back again, since it was all hectic due to the security breech. The next day, everyone awoke in shock. They overslept until 4:00 in the afternoon. And Hyper had gone missing. Smash immediately caught onto what happened. They all couldn't have slept in for that long at the same time. He also found that his front door was unlocked. Someone got in and drugged them, and kidnapped Hyper. He already knew where Hyper was, and they went on an all out assault on the facility. They beat up whoever showed up in front of them and muscled their way through everything. They found Hyper in the same room as that Echidna had been in, and were too late to save him before they injected Chao DNA into his blood. Before they could do anything else, The Gang fought them off of Hyper and saved him. They also saved the Echidna while they were at it. They muscled their way out and went back to Smash's house to let Hyper and the Echidna girl rest. The Echidna was the first one to wake up. Smash explained the situation, and then learned that her name was Melissa. Melissa stated that she knew Hyper--not personally--but she knew him. When Hyper woke up, Melissa told them to take her to Emerald Hill, and she would explain everything there. The team then split up. Some went to Emerald Hill, while the others went to the desert town, Kartilla.
In the team who went to Kartilla, they found out that the ore was a certain gemstone that reacted strongly to Chaos Energy, and could be used to channel it. The mayor didn't generally let people into their mines, but he had struck a deal with the people who came to get some of the ore. However, Kyle told them what the people's true intents were, although he still didn't know why they were doing it. They then got to have a look at the ore themselves, but didn't take any.
Meanwhile, the team who went to Emerald Hill found out that Hyper was born there. Hyper's parents worked for the facility which were doing the experiments. They let Hyper be one of the test subjects. Later, His mother quit her job there, regretting what she had done. She abandoned Hyper, seeing as how he had gained lots of physical strength and Earth and Wind powers, and he was still just a child. She was afraid that he would come after her for revenge, so she left him and went to live by herself on a nearby island. However, her husband never did come back from working at the facility.
The two teams met up at Kartilla. They had discovered that the men were preparing to relocate to a different continent: Morlinia. For what reason, they did not know. But the next morning, they found that they had already gotten a head start on them. They went to Thunder and pleaded for him to take them to Morlinia. He agreed when he found out their reasons, and took them there as fast as he could. When they found the area where the people had docked, they docked near them--but out of sight--and went to find out where they were going. They caught them unleashing their mutants on a small town as a threat. They were threatening the town's mayor to destroy everything if he didn't tell them the location of something. The Gang sprung into action and fended off the mutants. They also discovered that they had bought some of Dr. Eggman's robots to add to their forces. Once the town was saved, Smash talked to the mayor and discovered where they were headed. They then followed them deep into the forest and into a rather large metallic building. They busted in and beat on everyone until they got to the boss. They forced him to tell them why he was doing it. It all boiled down to one main thing: Money. Smash was disgusted, and ready to pulverize him. But while they had their guard down, he took Lucy hostage and held her at gunpoint. However, Lucy managed to save herself by turning on her automatic propeller hat that she made recently, (Commonly known as a "Beanie", but the propeller hat a motor and spun when turned on.) and letting the propellers smack him in the face until he let go. That was when the rest of them jumped him. After beating the snot out of the boss, the rest of security came into the room. Smash told them that unless they wanted to end up like their boss, they had better leave. The security spared not another minute to scram. Smash tied up the boss and took him out of the building. The town's mayer came and thanked them for what they had done, and said that they would take care of business with the building. They then took the rest of the people involved in the facility back to Green Flower City and turned them in.
It was a solid victory, although a tad anti-climatic. Even though they solved the case, their problem was far from over...
This was one of the best episodes in the series. There were some things I didn't quite get, and therefor left hanging in this description. What exactly was it that they were after in Morlinia? They were some kind of gemstones, but what they did is beyond me. I kept forgetting. And what was that strange object that they kidnapped Lucy for? I don't think we ever got to find out what exactly that machine was supposed to do. Besides explode, that is.
Episode 50: The Unexpected Turnabout
This was originally supposed to be non-canon, but it somehow made its way into the Canon series. This was a Phoenix Wright styled RP. With a tad bit of changes in the selected characters, it would be fully canon.
A hedgehog and a otter were out in the street one night, and it seemed the two were having some sort of conversation. It seemed to last for a little bit that is, until the otter pushed the hedgehog out into the street. Something had hit the hedgehog and killed him right then and there in the streets. A person was screaming at the sight of it, and another person was pointing at this someone else shouting "You're the murderer!" And that's how this whole story begins.
Smash went outside his house one night because there were police cars right outside. He found the police arresting someone in his yard, and gasped when he realized who it was. It was Hyper. He ran to them and asked them what happened, and they told him that they're arresting him on the charges of murder. His trial would be the very next morning at 9:30. Smash was so shocked, he didn't know what to think at first. He went inside to think about what to do. Moments later, he got an idea: He called Gizmo and told him what happened. He told him that he was going to defend Hyper, because he knew that he didn't murder anyone. There wasn't enough time to take the Bar exam to become an actual lawyer, so he asked Gizmo to make him a fake attorney's badge. Smash spent the rest of the night preparing for the trial, and didn't go to bed until nearly 4:00 AM.
The next day, Gizmo came right to Smash's house to give him the replica of an attorney's badge. They then went to the courthouse. Smash met with Tab and Speedy at the lounge of the courthouse. Smash told them that he was going to be the lead defense, and that they had to back him up the best that they could. Pretty much
everyone else went to the gallery to watch. They met with Hyper, and had him explain what happened. Hyper told them that he was walking down the road, and then he heard a scream and saw a dead body in the road, and then he saw someone pointing at him, and then ran away because he was frightened. When they went into the courtroom, they found that the prosecutor was a beginner as well, so they were safe. When the trial began, the detective came and gave her testimony on what transpired that night. Smash, Tab and Speedy then came to notice that there was no evidence to be brought to the court. Later, they brought on their next witness--and to their dismay, it was Lily. Lily claimed that she met Hyper a little bit before the murder. Through a long time of trying to piece together her story with the facts, they finally came to the conclusion that she had absolutely no relevence to the murder. (or even an idea of what she was talking about.) Their next witness was a man named Benjamin. Through cross examining him, it was clear that he was hiding something. The victim had died from being hit hard by a large and dense object. And he was on the road, so they thought that it had to have been a car. But Benjamin claims that there was no car. They later learned of a different prosecutor who was originally supposed to be on the case until someone else was reassigned for it while they were on recess. And also, they got an explanation out of Hyper, but it was a bit vague.
They later had him testify in court. However, he was so traumatized from the whole event, he mixed up the events a few times. But they still managed to get some info out of him. They then went onto their next witniss, a girl named Brianna. She was with the victim before the murder. She had been talking with him by the beach, and then she left. However, while she was leaving, she passed by the Black Rose Orphanage and happened to see a car going by at high speeds. The old prosecutor had come and joined the current one for the case. He showed multiple pieces of evidence. One was blood on the rail near where Hyper tripped on the sidewalk, one was a crowbar with a bit of blood on the tip, the other was a photo of a car--with a massive amount of blood on the front.
Adding up the facts they came to this: That night, Hyper was walking down the road that night, heading towards Smash's house because he had to talk to him. He tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and fell down, injuring himself on a rusted rail beside him. However, at the same time, the murder took place and he was blamed for it. Before hand, Brianna was talking with the victim, and then they parted ways. Seeing how the victim was in the
area, it was safe to assume that the time of death was moments after they left. Brianna saw a car speeding by her where she went. The victim was a really kind and generous person and would be willing to help just about anyone in need. He was even known for going around the public and doing whatever he could to help people. Seeing how he was that nice of a person, he would obviously go to help Hyper when he tripped on the sidewalk. And what could possibly have hit him while running across the road to someone screaming in pain? A car. With all that added up, Smash thought that it was time to bring Benjamin back. After cross examining him for a while, he said that he was called to the Black Rose Orphanage for something urgent and it needed to be the top of his priority. However, he stopped at a fast food shop. Smash didn't buy that part. Benjamin also claimed that someone could have hijacked his car. Smash still didn't believe that. Benjamin claimed that he saw Hyper kill the victim with the crowbar. Smash was going to raise an objection before the prosecution pressed him into blurting something out loud. "OF COURSE NOT BECAUSE I RAN HIM OVE-" He stopped himself before he could finish. They finally caught him. He admitted that he ran the victim over with his car, which would explain the photo of the bloody car. The prosecutor told them that there were some dark things going on in the orphanage, and that he was sure that Benjamin was sent to kill someone who knew too much. That was why he did what he did, and why the orphanage called him in the first place. The crowbar that he used was fake evidence to trap him. However, Benjamin told him that since he confessed using fake evidence, his confession was illegal and he couldn't be declared guilty.
That's when Smash stepped in. He was going to cross examine him, however, Benjamin gave up his rights to speak. Smash then thought for a moment, and then came up with solid proof. He asked for the keys to his car. Benjamin took them out of his pocket and showed them. Smash ordered the Bailiff to try them out in the bloody car in the parking lot. He came back and said that it started just fine. Smash's eyes shot towards Benjamin fiercely. He began to beat around the bush and told him that there was no way that he could even get to the court if someone had hijacked his car, while his car was still out there and he had the keys to it. Even though Benjamin said that it was possible to hijack a car without the keys, Smash said that the fact that his car was outside was more than enough proof that someone didn't hijack his car. And further more, his car was the murder weapon. And if no one hijacked his car, that could only mean that he was the murderer! Benjamin froze, while Smash gave him a serious look and let him know that he lost. They had proved Legally and Illegally that he was the murderer. There was no other way to go. Benjamin ended up breaking down, going completely insane and erratic-beating on himself and screaming loudly before he collapsed.
It was finally over. The Judge handed out his verdict: NOT GUILTY. They began to plan their celebration in the court lobby. However, the prosecutor had to go into the judges chambers. He came out looking sad, as he had just lost his job. However, he regretted nothing. He had apparently been chasing down Benjamin for 5 years. Now that he was caught, he could relax. Smash wanted to hold a little party at his house, and invited him. He agreed to join them.
This was never meant to be canon. However, There were so many ways to link this to the main plot of the series, it just couldn't be Non-Canon. Unfortunately, there were many bits and pieces of this RP that was lost, due to being done on a xat chat. But the main elements have been saved.
Episode 51: The Outbreak
Taking place about the day after the Unexpected Turnabout. Hyper came to Smash's house to talk to him, like he planned to the other night. Speedy had come over too, since he knew Hyper had something to say and was interested in what it was. Hyper told him that he was feeling really weird. He was frequently overheating, getting dizzy, and randomly fainting. Smash of course became worried, especially since the people that were creating mutants had gotten a hold of him twice. They suspected that had something to do with it until Hyper passed out and Speedy discovered something frightening in the newspaper. One of the mutants had gotten loose and died in the middle of the street, and scientists claim that this was the cause of the recent outbreak of the new Plague. Symptoms of the plague included dizziness, over heating, fainting, and becoming very violent. Smash immediately took Hyper to the hospital to be looked after. However, the plague was new, and there was no known cure for it. Smash and Speedy immediately went to Tab's house to tell her what was going on. She was shocked and rather scared of what might happen. Lucy, who happened to be there at the time, told them that she had heard of some kind of ancient treasure that could cure any sickness. She had read about it in a book. They then decided to go to the library to see what they could find. After a while of searching, they came across a book that spoke of the ancient treasure. The same book that Lucy read. Apparently, an ancient tribe used that treasure to keep their people in good health. They lived on an island somewhere up to the north. They then decided to talk to Thunder about going. They talked to him and he said that he would be ready to set sail in about 15 minutes.
While they were waiting, they noticed that Tab went missing. They retraced their steps to see if they accidentally left her somewhere, and found her passed out in front of Lucy's house. Smash was horrified and immediately rushed her to the hospital. They confirmed that she had caught the plague. It was spreading fast. They decided to gather up their friends in the city to go with them. They found Shade, Violet, Crystal(although Crystal wouldn't go without her parents.), Lily, and Splice, the latter of who actually came to them to warn them about the plague. However, they were already preparing to leave. Splice decided to join them. Thunder was yelling out orders for his brothers to get the cargo on the ship and the ship itself ready. While he was doing that, Speedy and Violet caught a glimpse of a female dog washed up on the beach. They went to her aid, and soon got her to wake up. She had no idea where she was, but it apparently wasn't where she was supposed to be. Thunder then came to them to see what was going on. The girl said that the last thing she remembered was being attacked by pirates. Thunder offered to take her to where she was originally going to go while he was sailing. She agreed, and they all boarded the ship and set sail. Violet tried to be nice and get to know her a little more. Smash introduced her to everyone, and tried to have a friendly chat with her. However, he and Thunder were both humiliated by Lucy's childlike obliviousness and Lily's "Lilyisms". The girl saw them as an eccentric group all together, when it was mainly two people who ruined their first impression.
Soon, they came to the island with the town that the girl wanted to go to. It was her home town, Gardina. She then told them that her name was Vensha before thanking them and leaving. They decided to stay a little while and see if they could pick up any information on the island that they were headed to. Gardina was right along the way there. Thunder went to buy some supplies for the ship, Speedy went to see if he could get any souvenirs, while Smash, Shade and Splice took a walk around to see what they could find out. Smash eventually started up a conversation with a local sailor at the docks. Smash asked him about the island to the north, and the sailor told him that it was completely haunted. Ghosts roam around the island at night, no one who's ever gone to the island have ever come back, there are even ghost ships that circle the island at night, and a dense fog covered the entire island the moment it got dark. Smash was disturbed, but it did sound like a generic ghost story. But if his intuition served him well, there was some truth behind it. He decided that they would stay the night and then head out the next morning, and return before nightfall.
The next morning they went along with their plan. They went out to the island as early as they could. When the island came into sight, They all could see how creepy it was; even in the daylight. They docked their ship and went to check things out. Thunder stayed behind and kept the ship ready so that they could leave as soon as they returned. They searched the island, and came across a stone panel on the ground with a moon symbol engraved on the surface. Nobody could figure out what it was, so they left it temporarily. They soon came across a village; An abandoned old village. They looked around, mainly taking peeks in empty houses. Although after Smash opened a door and found spider webs everywhere and a gigantic spider walking leisurely by. He then resorted to looking through the windows only. All of a sudden, all the local wildlife vanished into hiding all at once. Smash took this as a sign and got everyone to hide. They heard something big moving through the forest quickly and roughly. Soon, the threat passed and they heard the animals again. Disturbed, They all got out of their hiding spots and continued looking around. Eventually, they moved on after finding nothing that would help them. They went to investigate the cliff past the mountain. They were at the foot of the cliff, and needed to get to the top. Splice hurried back to Thunder's ship and asked if he had any tools for climbing cliffs, and was given a grappling hook. After taking it back to the gang, Smash climbed to the top with it. On the top, Smash had a good view of the entire island. He saw several shipwrecks-about 7 to 9 of them surrounding the island. It sent chills down his spine. He also saw a mysterious building near one of the beaches. He took his eyes off of the sights and looked around on the top of the cliff. He found a large rock blocking what seemed to be a passageway. He immediately took notice to the cresent moon carved into the face of the rock. He couldn't move the rock either, which brought him to the conclusion that he had to solve some sort of riddle to get past it. He climbed down the cliff and told everyone else what he found out. He then lead them all to the strange building he found. They investigated the inside, it was mainly just an empty room with a pedestal in the middle. Suddenly, Lily began to look afraid. She said that Steven sensed something, and she wanted to get out of there. (Steven being the top hat that Speedy bought, which she pretty much stole from him and wears all the time.) Smash took that as a sign. Lily is crazy, and almost never showed signs of being scared before. And if she "Sensed" something, that meant that they needed to leave. Now. Smash hurried towards the door, but it sealed itself, trapping them all inside. Just then, one by one, each tile on the floor began to fall down into a bottomless black abyss. Everyone backed up against the walls, and thankfully the floor next to the walls were stable. After all the rest of the floor had fallen, the door unlocked and everyone got out. Just then they noticed that Lucy was missing, but she then came back saying that she was taking a look elsewhere. Smash scolded her for separating, when he then noticed that the sun was setting. It was lower than when they had planned to leave. They were late. Smash immediately got everyone and ran towards the beach on the other side of the island. They ran as fast as they could, trying to beat the sun. It started to get dark, and they began to hear odd sounds. A dense fog began to cover the island. They finally got to Thunder's ship. Thunder was shouting at them to hurry up and get on so they could get out. They all boarded the ship and tried to leave. While they were boarding, a small rabbit hopped on board, most likely wanting to leave as well. Thunder already had his ship ready to sail away, but when they tried to move the ship, it wouldn't budge. Everyone was panicking, trying every idea they had to get the ship moving. Nothing worked. Soon, the fog had covered the entire island. Speedy noticed a creepy looking fish in the water, swimming around them. Before he could draw anyone's attention to it, the ship shook-and began to sink. Thunder screamed at everyone to abandon ship and got out all the life boats and threw them over board. Everyone jumped out into the boats and tried to get away. Soon the life boat Speedy was in started sinking as he noticed the fish next to him. He was about to get into someone elses boat when the fish lunged out the water and started to drag him under. Violet jumped out of her boat and saved Speedy, bringing him back to her ship. Which then stopped moving. They ended up swimming as fast as they could. Everyone began to see spirits coming after them. Thunder, who was in an inflatable rubber boat, was going as fast as he could until his boat shot under water at an alarming instantaneous rate. Everyone was thrown into the water and getting pulled under. Smash was the only one who managed to escape, as he somehow managed to knock one of the ghosts off of him with his bare hand. However, after he cleared the fog, he passed out.
Smash awoke, seeing the sky and hearing the waves of the sea. He sat up and found himself on the deck of a ship. He turned and saw Speedy's top hat on the rail, hanging to dry. He stood up and looked around. A familiar face came to greet him. He soon realized that he was on Vensha's ship. Vensha had been out looking for her father after she had been shipwrecked, and found Smash in the sea. Smash explained what happened and asked her to take him back to Green Flower City. She agreed to do so and sailed back. Smash didn't know what to think anymore. He failed to save Tab and Hyper, and now everyone else was gone. He even got Thunder's ship sunk, too. Once he got back to the city, he started to go back home, but then got another idea. He went to Speedy's house, and managed to bring out the house/raft creation from Camp Crystal; The Axium. Speeder, unknowing of what was really going on, helped him tow it to the docks with his car. There he met Luna, and their months old child, both seemingly waiting for him. She said she knew he had gone far away somewhere, and wanted to know what was going on. Smash explained the situation to her, and she insisted on going with him. Smash refused, fearing that he might lose her too, along with their child. But she wouldn't let him leave without her for the same reasons. He gave in, and let her and the baby come with them.
Meanwhile, Speedy woke up on the beach of the island. He looked around and found everyone else lying around him, still unconscious. He then found a fox named Stan, who said that he rescued them. He told them that it was foolish of them to come out here, and asked him what they were doing on the island. Before answering, he took them all into his home. He apparently lived on the island as he was shipwrecked some time ago. Speedy explained the situation to him. Soon everyone else began to wake up. And it wasn't long until they found out that Smash was missing, although Lily was mourning over Steven rather than Smash. Stan said that he never saw him, or Lily's hat. Shocked at the loss of their faithful leader, they started to think about what to do next. Speedy then announced that he would take the lead in Smash's place, while at the same time, Splice had already decided that he would lead everyone. They began to argue over who would lead, but then both ended up leading at the same time. Stan decided to help them. After a bit of deductions, they came to know that to move the stone Smash had seen earlier, they would need a cresent shaped artifact. And that was most likely inside of a secret passageway beneath the stone panel, which apparently only opened at night. If they hurried, they would be able to get in, because it was almost dawn. They ran to the panel and found that it was starting to close. Using a shovel, they managed to brace it, stopping it from closing. They all went down into the passageway and explored the area.
Meanwhile, Smash and Luna had arrived at the island, a safe distance from the fog that had completely surrounded the entire island, preventing them from entering. Luna tried to manipulate the water to clear a path through the fog, but they learned that it regenerated far too fast for them to safely get through. They began to devise another plan.
Back with the others, they were still exploring underground. It was a series of long, dark and dank corridors. There were a few traps they had to make their way past, and a few ghosts came to try and stop them. But Splice and Speedy managed to fend them off with their powers over Fire and Ice. Finally, they came to the end of the path. There was a wide, circular room with a pedastle in the center. Resting on top was a cresent shaped artifact. Knowing what they had to do, they took it with them and left. But the moment they took it, ghosts from all over began appearing rapidly, and they chased them out of the entire underground area. They made a mad dash towards the mountain and climbed to the top of the cliff. Upon inserting the cresent artifact in the stone carving, the stone moved automatically, revealing behind it a tranquil spring. They examined it for a few moments, before Thunder gasped in shock. He took a picture which he had been holding onto and matched it to the area they were currently in, and revealed that what they were seeing now was the Legendary Miracle water, a treasure he'd wanted to discover and had been searching for, for 3 years. They then realized that the Miracle Water WAS the treasure they all were looking for. One of the ghosts appeared and told them about it, since they already found it. The Miracle Water was kept in secret from the world outside of the island. They were able to cure sicknesses and keep their people healthy, but if it were publicized, the water would not only lose its specialty, but it would most likely become foul and muddy, and lose its healing effect. However, when Splice told them their situation, the ghost agreed to share some with them. Thunder then began to yell at the ghost, telling him that they sunk his ship. And they couldn't expect them to leave without a ship. The ghost told them that they do that in defense, and then agreed to give him his ship back. They looked out towards the beach and saw the Thunder Bolt rising to the surface. Thunder was so relieved, he shed a tear. They returned to the ship to look for something to contain the water in. They then took two large barrels and filled them with the water, and prepared to leave. While they were returning to the ship again, they noticed that the fog had completely disappeared-and there was another ship nearby. The ship turned out to be Vensha's. She had come to rescue them. At the same time, Smash and Luna docked the Axium on the beach and found them all alright. Smash and the others happily reunited, overly relieved that the other(s) were still alive. It was a crowning moment of heartwarming for the group. They then told Smash all about what had happened, and they all hurried to get back to Green Flower City. Thunder felt as if it had been ages since he had touched the wheel of his ship. When they got back, they hurried to the hospital and delivered some of the miracle water, and then gave the rest of the barrel to the mayor. Smash kept the last barrel in his house. They only needed a sip of the water, so they hoped that it would last a while.
It wasn't long before everyone recovered. Tab, Hyper, Kitty, Everyone had recovered from the plague. Smash held a huge party at his house. It was the first time Tab had ever smiled in a long time. There, they told stories about all of their adventures to Vensha. Vensha was rather shocked about what they had all gone through, and admitted that she thought that they were just a group of incompitent goofs. After telling her of their last adventure, Tab came up to Smash, and gave him a present. "Happy Birthday", is what she told him. Smash, both startled and confused, immediately referred to the calendar. It was July 7th. His birthday was June 21st. Smash felt like crying, but he kept a straight face and accepted the present. Everyone else decided to turn the celebration into a makeshift birthday party for him, soon after.
There were quite a few changes made to this, namely the replacing of Frost with Luna, and them using the Axium instead of a warpstar. The results were the same, but it showed a bit more of the bond between Smash and Luna, as well as giving the latter more screentime. Pearl originally stayed home the entire time, either in their house in the city or the outskirts, I don't remember. But she didn't appear in this episode. I might make it so that she joins the group going to the island, or that she catches the plague herself..
Episode 52: The Blitz Pit World Tournament 2010
The time was drawing near. Once every summer, The Blitz Pit holds The World Tournament. Fighters from all around the world gathered to test their strength in the tournament. With all kinds of fighters, it's very tough to win. Smash has only won once out of 4 times he's entered, and he was determined to win this time now that he had been working on a "Secret Weapon" as he put it. As everyone was preparing, A large object hovered over the city. The object blocked the view of the sunlight, darkening the entire area. It soon passed overhead, moving eastward. But something dropped from it and fell to the earth. (Under Construction)
((This is where I have to stop writing. I need to consult Kapus about the validity of this part of the episode. There was a huge story arc that butted in here, one that would actually split this episode in two, so until I find out about what's going on with that, this is as far as I go.))
Episode 53: Ace Attorneys / Turnabout Gardens
(This was supposed to be a series of Phoenix Wright styled RP cases that took place here on this wiki. But neither of them really got off the ground. However, I managed to salvage what I could and revive it within the series. The first case had already happened, "The Unexpected Turnabout". This is actually the second case, where Gizmo was the defendant under the charges of massacring chao. In traditional PW style, the second one onward allows you to move around and investigate before the trial.)
Episode 54: Splice The Hedgehog
With the outbreak of the plague subsided, Gizmo and Hyper's trials out of the way, things began to calm down a bit in the city. Though with rumors floating around about the Black Rose Orphanage involved in crimes, due to Hyper's trial, a few people decided to investigate. Tab, having lived there once, was one of them. She decided to investigate in secret, as it was a
personal matter.
One morning, Splice wakes up early in the morning to hear the phone ringing. Upon answering it, he hears a man's voice on the other line. "Agent Nero! Abort Mission, return to base immediately!" was what he said. Startled, Splice stammered out a confused reply, but the mysterious caller had already hung up. Later, after eating breakfast, he tracks the number of the caller back to the Black Rose Orphanage. He was shocked, almost terrified of the thought that they would even call him. He quickly pulled himself together, and decided to go to the orphanage to figure out what was going on.
When he arrives, he sneaks around to the back, hoping to be able to spy through the window nearest to the back door, only to run into an adult blue hedgehog. The two stare at eachother in silent surprise, before Splice speaks her name. Clara, Splice's old caretaker while he was growing up. They started to ask eachother why they were there, only to get interrupted by the sound of the back door opening. Two thuggish hedgehogs marched out and immediately noticed them. They identified Splice and Clara as two runaways who they could get a lot of money for taking them back to the orphanage. Splice felt naturally scared of them, but managed to overcome his fear and challenged them. While Clara ran off to safety, Splice defeated the two goons and hurried back home.
Splice and Clara have a talk about what was going on. They discussed what they knew about the orphanage, and Splice's mysterious phone call. Before they could decide on what to do next, a large airship arrives above the city. To Splice's surprise, it was none other than the Egg Carrier, which began dropping off large black cases packed with robots. Eggman was launching an attack on Green Flower City.
After fending off the robots, and gathering up some of his friends to help, The gang meets up with Sonic the Hedgehog, right before Eggman himself arrives. They fight him together, and drive him out of the city. The city, however, was in really bad shape. He burned down a few buildings and tore up a number of others. The group gathered infront of Splice's house, and discussed their current situation. Sonic said that he was going to go after the Egg carrier, knowing that Eggman was still at large. Splice, Tab and Crystal all agree to go with him. Clara reminds them of their other problem with the orphanage, and tells them that she'll stay behind to investigate for them. Splice decides to try and do his best to help stop Eggman, and go back whenever he can to figure out what's really going on in the orphanage...
Unfortunately I can't say much more than this. This is a fangame in the making. There is a lot to this story that's still being worked on. Fortunately the removal of Frost from the series is not a big hindrance, despite him being able to join your party. Splice The Hedgehog settles a number of things in the series, most of which I cannot say here due to spoilers. But what I can say is that It puts a stop to the Black Rose Orphanage's gang, and starts over with another person in charge. It marks the closing time of the Elemental Rings factory, and it also brings Cymbeline, Splice's girlfriend, into the series along with Daz, a character who so far has only made a one-time appearance canon-wise. So yeah, a lot happens this time around.
Season 3
With a few exceptions, just about all of these episodes were to be SFW exclusive. However, many new plot points were made/revived and returned in their own new episodes. Season 3, bringing in roleplays from SFW, is naturally the most hectic and dangerous time in the series for the cast. Interestingly enough, nobody actually died since Season 1...
Episode 55: Cymbeline's Return
Cymbeline, a half angel, half hedgehog whom Splice met during the last episode, returns after a few months of staying home in the Angel Kingdom.
(This was the beginning of a whole story arc about Splice and Cy's relationship. This was one long RP that unfortunately got lost, but I still remember most of it.
Basically, as you should know, the two love eachother and are technically in a relationship. But no one in Cy's realm, the Angel Kingdom, really knows about this, and she's been arranged to marry some other guy. The guy is related to someone who did something horrible to her family. (Originally, it was rape. But I don't want to have that in my story.) Cymbeline naturally wants nothing to do with him for that very reason. But her mother is convinced and won't hear any other reason. No one knows where her father stands, but it's implied that he's with her.
That's why she runs away from home a second time. (The first was in Splice The Hedgehog.) She stays with Splice for a while, and Cy tells her the situation. She then comes up with the idea that if she gets married before her arranged wedding, then that will foil her mother's plan. It's then when Splice proposes to her, despite being a year too young for marriage. Cymbeline happily accepted, and the two consulted Smash.
Their plan was to marry, have Cy stay for a while until the arranged wedding and have her return then, and then run away back to Splice at the right moment, and return a month later with Splice. Smash listened to their story, and warned them that being married was a big responsibility for the both of them. He also noted that their plan might fail as well, if her mother was that persistent. Splice then told them both that he was not just marrying Cymbeline to stop her from marrying someone else. He was marrying her because he really wanted to. Even if their plan failed, they'd find some other way.
Smash then made arrangements for their wedding, while Splice made a ring for her. When the time came, they held the wedding in Green Flower City, and all of their friends and family attended.
It took just a little while for the two to get used to living with each other, but they were happy to be together.
Soon, the time came for the wedding at Angel Kingdom. Cy went on ahead, promising that she'd return. Splice sat in wait, and soon realized just how worried he was about letting her go to another wedding without him. As much as he trusted her, he couldn't shake the feeling that something would go wrong.)
((And that's about where our RP left off. I discussed it with the owner of Cymbeline, AngelWings. She has agreed to let this stay canon, and I've already written a little scenario about how I think it'll continue from here. That scenario is in the second part of this RP, Episode 56.)
Episode 56: The Shadow Crystal Cloud Tournament
A voice from the sky suddenly announced a fighting tournament, held in an airborne colosseum. Claiming that this was the tournament that no fighter should miss, The mysterious voice convinced several people to join the tournament. Ominously, there were dragons circling around the colosseum in the air. Dragon sightings were pretty unusual. Of course, the first to react suspiciously to these sudden events was none other than Smash. He almost immediately knew something was up, and went to investigate. Upon entering, he was rather troubled with the situation. Something was clearly wrong with this tournament, but he didn't know where to begin his investigation. He wasn't even sure if he was safe for the time being or not. He signed up anyway. Whatever the trap was, he was ready for it.
(This RP was held here. Visit the link above to read the full story.
The plot had potential, but sadly, was very poorly executed. It will be revamped in the future.)
Episode 57: The Cosmic Championship
Much to his surprise, Smash was one of many to be chosen to participate in the Cosmic Championship. There he faced off against powerful opponents, and witnessed such levels of strength he never imagined possible by normal means. The experience taught him just how weak he was in comparison to people like this, and that he still had a long way to go. But this revalation also inadvertly allowed him to improve his High Tension state, and ascend to another level. Seeing this level up in power, Arc Aungel decided to train him between matches, and help him control his power to the fullest.
(This RP was held here. Visit the link above to read the full story.
There wasn't much of a story at first, but Smash's character development did help a lot. In some ways it was rather poorly executed, but it was mainly just hard to handle all the people involved. The story will be revamped in the future.)
Episode 58: A Re-Wedding Ceremony
The second half of Splice and Cy's story arc. Cymbeline leaves for the wedding, to follow through with their plan.
Some time later, Splice goes back to Hedgehog Park, where he and Cy parted ways for the time being. He was still very worried about her, afraid that something would go wrong. Smash comes over, and tells him that their plan won't work. He convinces him that they should step in with a plan B. Everyone then gathers up at Hedgehog Park, and they head off to the Angel Kingdom to help Cymbeline.
(This is part is newly added, as we never did get this far. I did write out most of the plot, but I'll most likely re-write it when I get around to making the full episode.)
Episode 59: The Gang's Day Out
After dealing with Cy's dilemma, She and Splice decide that they'll have a real, official wedding, and get married for real instead of to foil her mother's arrangements. With the two officially engaged, the whole gang decides to get together and celebrate.
(This mainly exists as a filler episode, so that it doesn't jump right into something completely different. And to have a bit more "screentime" for Splice and Cy'. Ending their story arc like this only seems appropriate anyway.)
Episode 60: Turnabout Haste
The third case in the 5 case Ace Attorneys saga. A few days after the celebration, Smash is shocked to hear that Speedy of all people had been arrested. Naturally, he was the first one to arrive at the detention center. It also rattled the atmosphere at the police station, as Speedy's father is a cop.
Episode 61: The Great Escape (Pending Validation)
After a long time of absence, Shada returns from Atlantis and heads straight for the Corliss residence. After a heartfelt reunion, She tells Smash and Luna about what's been going on for the past two years. Sam, her twin brother, is now king of Atlantis, a great and terrible war had just ended, and now she finally had the time to leave home safely. To celebrate, she invites the whole gang to go out to eat for dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Station Square.
(This is actually a very recent episode. However, due to the fact that I had already added Shada to MoDTE, as if she had been around for a little while, I had to boot this 10 episodes back from it to make the time gap more believable.
EDIT: The relationship between Lightning and Shada has been severed due to both my and Snowy's revamping in our respective series. The main purpose of this RP was to focus on this couple, so at the moment the RP is in danger of being a Lost Episode. However, with the way it progressed, we could still salvage it.)
Episode 62: The World Hero Tournament (Pending Validation)
Once again invited to another fighting tournament, this time his sister accidentally got caught up in it with him. She decides to enter the tournament and test her meddle. The tournament is much more complex than the one's Smash is used to, which lead him to feeling rather excited about it.
(This never got finished. Only two out of seven battles finished, and neither of them were mine. While the third one was epic, the 6th Match was an awful experience as I was the only one there who didn't godmod in any way. I'm considering taking this out of canon entirely. But that would mean Numbered Days below would have to go, too.)
Episode 63: Numbered Days (Pending Validation)
A mysterious demonic man attacks both Station Square and Green Flower City, leaving an unsettling 無 mark on the ground in each city. Smash, coming to fight him out of his home town, soon finds Splice with the same mark on his forehead. An immediate meeting was scheduled at his house.
(One of the few wiki RP's to have finished (and stayed in canon). All it really needs is some touch up's and the like. The only thing that really bothers me about it are that Nemesis and Laniatus are, *ahem*, "Gods". I could always change it in my version, but still. The problem still exists in the World Hero Tournament, too, but it's kind of out of the way since it's more focused on the tournament itself.
I'm not entirely sure how to change it without disrupting it too much. A lot of information and plot elements relied on their physical gods status.)
Episode 64: The Crystal Chronicles
Gizmo reunites with Kyla after the latter has a bike wreckage in a race. It was actually an attempted murder by a mysterious blue cat with a scar over his left eye. Gizmo rescues Kyla, but was unable to catch the culprit. Eventually they learn a bit about Kyla's past, meet with a chao from Kyla's original home, and Gizmo begins preparing for in case the man decides to come back for a second try.
(This is the long awaited sequel to Episode 33. It pretty much clears up Kyla's backstory, as well as sets up a direct problem with the assassin. Even I don't know what lies in store for this RP.)
Episode 65: Amber's City Tour
Normally living alone in the forest, Amber gets a surprise visitor who offers to take her around Greenflower City. Violet wanted to spend some time with her and show her how things were when there was nothing going on, and hopefully encourage her to come by more often. Eventually a few more from the gang join them, all happy to show her the sights.
In the end, it turns out that it was part of a plot to set up a surprise party for her. It had been a year since they met her, and she still didn't have an actual house to live in. So the gang built a treehouse on the large, old oak tree she lived by, and held a party for her inside.
(I added a bit more to this episode, but to do that I had to bump it up further. It exists mainly to start giving Amber some character development, as in current times she's actually at a new level of development that was never shown. I had the idea of making the party for her birthday, but her birthday is in August, which was too late for this.)
Episode 66: Turnabout Vengeance
Like a bad dream, the fourth person Smash found the the detention center was yet again, his own sister. This time, he actually has a better chance at helping her.
A callback to Episode 4, where Pearl had been arrested under false charges of attempted murder. This time, Pearl was attacked in the park by a woman named Ema. She was arrested for supposedly killing her in response, though in reality all she did was punch her once, and she fell down.
The victim was actually the same person who attacked Pearl in jail all those years ago. She had come back for revenge, but failed.
Smash promises to do all he can to help her, but it seriously wasn't looking good for her.
((I seriously have NO idea how she's going to get out of this one. Honestly, how am I supposed to think of a solution for this? This is going to be crazy...I'm no genius, and this is next to impossible without breaking the willing suspenion of disbelief. If I say she was like, poisoned, or otherwise previously wounded, Pearl probably wouldn't have been arrested in the first place. At least taken in for questioning, not put on trial. I MIGHT be able to work around previous wounds, but...It's not looking too good, let's just say that.))
Episode 67: The Mystery of Skull Cross
Over the years, Smash kept hearing about a space organization, who killed his friend Jenny. For years, he had been secretly looking into this matter with his sister, Pearl. He even had a rough encounter with them, but the enemy escaped. Now, after finding out the horrifying connection between his friend, Cymbeline The Hedgehog, and the organization, he cannot keep it secret any longer. He called a meeting at his house to inform all his friends of the situation, and work it out together. But how could they track down an organization located in space...?
((This RP's just going off and on. It was started years ago, but we're barely past the first chapter. Hopefully we'll be able to finish it someday.))
Episode 68: Odyssey
When a seemingly invincible man named V begins a dimensional conquest, A chunk of the gang all find themselves being swept up into the mess and separated from their friends as they get scattered across the dimensions...
Episode 69: Moonlight Visitor
With summer vacation right around the corner, Smash found this to be a good time to invite all of his friends over for a party and a barbecue. However, that night, Gizmo's best friend Micheal ends up finding a mysterious figure in the back yard alongside Smash, and they are lead into the forest outside of the city, where a strange girl falls from the sky shrouded in a heavenly light. Mike's sister, Lina, had a nightmare where the girl in the light was a monster who killed him...
In a strange twist of events, it turns out that the girl, named Diana, was to be the next queen of her world. But something happened and she ended up drifting along in space until she arrived on Mobius. Her evil sister, Lucretia, had taken over the world in her absence. Mike's place in all of this? He is prophesied to be a sort of hero who can contain the very monster Lina dreamed of...
(It's hard writing abridged versions, I tell ya. Anyway, this is the first private roleplay with Kagome+Inuyasha16 that has been made canon to my series. All the others were deliberately non-canon.)
Episode 70: Spirit Sword: The Soulfire
((The long awaited sword promised to Keela has finally been forged. I thought long and hard about how this sword works, (and was wondering if I could come up with a cooler name than The Soulfire, but it sooner grew on me than I could look anything up.) I'm thinking this happens during the time of Moonlight Visitor, (as Kyle and Keela never actually showed up in that episode, so...) As for the episode itself, I'm thinking that when Kyle and Keela go to pick up the sword, they find that the temple where the swordsmith stayed had been raided by a band of thieves. The smith was heavily wounded, and the temple's treasures had all been stolen--Including Keela's new sword. Keela sets off to track them down, while Kyle stays behind to try and tend to his wounds.))
Episode 71: The Blitz Pit World Tournament 2011
It's that time of the year again. The World Tournament is underway. Of course Smash is determined to win. But once again his competetion makes his chances look questionable, even as strong as he has become now...
Episode 72: Memories of David The Echidna [Fanfic - Season Finale]
After the World Tournament, Smash and a bunch of fighters from the Blitz Pit decide to take a break and hang out together in the lobby. They chatted about the tournament, amongst other things, until one person mentioned David The Echidna dying from a car accident. Being David's son, Smash demanded to know how he knew that--because he had never heard anything about the cause of his father's death. This drove Smash to set out on an investigation. Going through his father's stuff he left behind in the Blitz Pit's storage, he found an old suit of armor, unlike any he'd ever seen before...
Episode 72/2: Rise from the Ashes (Unnamed Turnabout)
This takes place somewhere around the center of the plot. Naturally, one more case just had to come up before the whole thing was over. This time, Smash takes on one of the masterminds behind several of the past incidents, including crimes committed by the Black Rose Orphanage's gang, the deaths of Smash's parents, and other atrocities to be revealed.
(It's named "Rise from the Ashes" there due to the similarities to the first PW game's final cases. The 4th case was meant to be the final, but Rise from the Ashes was a bonus. This could be seen as a sort of bonus as well, as it appears smack in the middle of a fanfic, when Pearl's case was to be treated as the last.)
Season 4
For a while, it was ambiguous whether or not Season 4 would even come to be. With the way the third one ended, you'd think the whole series would end with it. But of course, the adventures continue...
Episode 73: Winter World Grandprix
It's now mid-November. Things have been relatively peaceful since the events of the last season. When the gang hears about an Extreme Gear grandprix being held in Central City, they decide to check it out. Some of them even plan on participating.
(This was planned to be a sprite comic. I had actually started a bit on it, but I think I lost it.)
Episode 74: Lost Branches of the Family Tree (Pending Validation)
(By request of Memph, who wanted his new character to be related to Smash, this episode delves into Smash discovering that he has a step-cousin. His uncle Spikes is divorced, and his wife moved on and was never really mentioned much outside of that. It turns out that she remarried someone who already had a daughter.
Exactly how Smash comes to learn about this, I don't know yet. It's kind of sudden to just come out of nowhere and say "Hey, meet your step-cousin you never knew for X amount of years." There's gotta be some kind of event that pushes them into meeting.
EDIT: While I do have another lingering idea for this RP to get it moving, 'I have heard nothing back from Memph on this since we first discussed his new character.')
Episode 75: The Treasure of Mercedes Island
Episode 76: Shadows of the East
Episode ??: Genetix
Episode ??: Fading Life - Splice's Greatest Dilemma
(After doing some brainstorming to come up with an idea for a roleplay with a new friend, we ended up coming with both a big plot revolving around Splice, and tying it to a backstory for his character. This could possibly be the next big story arc like Odyssey, Genetix, and a definite callback to Splice The Hedgehog.)
Splice slowly begins to grow weaker with the coming days. At first Splice shrugs it off as a simple cold, believing that he will get better eventually. Until one day, a man with incredible psychic powers named "Ignus" comes to him with troubling news. Exactly one month from now; on the night of December 15th, he will have become so weak, that his body will cease to function. His heart will gradually come to a stop, and he will die.
Naturally, Splice panics. He consults his father about it, who is promptly devastated by the news, and does not know what to do. Even Gizmo is at a loss for a solution. They then decide to head to the Ocean Laboratory, where Burn's old research lab used to be, to search for a way to save him. And that is when they find that it is more than just revived...it's been rebuilt.
(Writing this description without revealing a ton of spoilers was tough. If you don't know the whole story of SpTH, then you might not even understand most of this plot when it gets written. Naturally, the whole thing is practically one big spoiler to it.)
