Sonic Universe: The Magnus Saga

Chapter 1

Tails was sitting at desk typing onto his Miles Electic PAD. His tails bouncing around with excitement. His months of hard work was finally close to complete and he could barely contain himself.

"I can't believe it!" He exclaimed. "It's finished. Vance is going to help us end this nightmare."

A few minutes later and ran over to a large pod and plugged the PAD into it. Once connected the pod lit up and a low hum could be heard. After a few more inputs the hum became a low growl as it lit up with a rainbow of colors that engulfed the dark room. After a few more minutes and every started to slow down, the hum died out and the light dimmed until they disappeared completely. The pod snapped open and dark red hedgehog could be seen. Smoke slowly crept out of the pod. 

"I've done it, I almost can't believe it!" Tails jumped with joy. The hedgehog opened its eyes. "Hey, Vance? Can you hear me?"

Vance stepped down from the platform he stood upon. His eyes scanned the room, analyzing his surroundings. His gaze fell upon Tails. He nodded.

"Vance, are you okay?" He asked. He appeared worried. Vance looked around again then answered.

"Yes. It seems that everything working. You're Miles Tails Prower. Correct?" Vance asked. Tails let out a sigh of relief.

"Yes I am, but just call me Tails," Tails ran over to a table and grabbed a large backpack. He shoved his Miles Electric and a few other items into it and came back over to Vance. "Okay there is no time to explain, we need to get out of here. With me bringing you to life I'm sure The Chaos Legion saw that surge of energy and plan on heading this way,"

"Right, what do you need me to do?" Vance asked. Tails placed and object on the ground and came back to Vance.

"There's no time, are you ready for a fight if it comes to it?" 

"Yes, everything seems to be in working order," He said. Tails smiled.

"Great, now follow me," Tails said running to the back of the room. He pulled a switch and it soon revealed a secret door. Once Vance and he were in, the door closed. They continued down the hall, Tails typing into his wrist mounted keypad as he went. A moment later an explosion could be heard behind them. Vance stopped to look. "Vance common we need to move, it seems they have made into the lab. It will take them a minute to realize the secret door,"

Vance nodded and continued to follow Tails, but a few seconds later another explosion occurred. Vance glanced back to see a yellow bolt of energy heading towards them. He quickly grabbed Tails by the tails and yanked him to the ground. The bolt missed Tails head and hit the wall a few yards in front of them.

"Or not," Tails said getting up. Vance turned to face three figures walking down the corridor. A small chuckled could be heard as Doctor Magnus Robotnik stepped forward, followed by Shadow and Metal Sonic.

"Well hello Tails, it's been a while," He said. "And look, you have a new friend. Unfortunately I'd like to have this conversation alone with Tails. Metal Sonic please dispose of this new friend of Tails."

"With pleasure," Metal Sonic said. He lunged at Vance. He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him of the ground. Tails motion towards them but Shadow cut him off. He grabbed Tails backpack and pushed Tails to the ground. Metal Sonic gripped Vance's neck tighter but realized nothing was happening. "You're not gasping for air, you must be a robot like me. While I admire your design, I'm going to have to rip you to pieces."

Vance grabbed Metal Sonic's hand and removed it from his neck. He then threw Metal Sonic into the wall.

"I am not a robot like you. I am an android. My name is Vance."
