SONIC MY OWN AU

    A New Life, An Old World

    Your story began in tragedy. On what should have been an ordinary morning, you were on your way to high school when fate struck. Death came swiftly, without warning. One moment you were alive, the next, everything was gone.

    But instead of fading into darkness, you awoke again—not in your bedroom, but on Mobius, a vibrant yet chaotic world destined for legends. You weren’t human anymore. In the mirror, a small blue hedgehog stared back. You were royalty—the eldest child of King Jules and Queen Aleena, older sibling to Sonic, Sonia, and Manic.

    From childhood, you discovered your gift: super speed. Aleena nurtured you with wisdom while Jules taught compassion and courage. Life felt perfect until shadows rose. Robotnik seized power, enslaving Mobius with his machines. The Oracle of Delphius prophesied that Aleena’s children would defeat him. To save them, she scattered the triplets across the world.

    But you chose a different path. Refusing the throne, you left the palace to defend Mobius on your own terms.

    In Green Hill, you found a brother in Milo Prower, a clever fox with nine tails. Together you dashed through fields, dreaming of freedom. Soon, others joined you: Tate the Echidna, proud guardian of Angel Island; Emma Rose, fierce with her hammer; Sarah the Hedgehog, blessed with psychic gifts; Ruby the Bat, sly and resourceful; and Shane, the lost brother of Shadow, who bonded with you through letters. What began as loneliness grew into family.

    Years later, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic fulfilled the prophecy and overthrew Robotnik. Mobius rejoiced, but peace didn’t last. Sonic felt trapped by the crown, yearning for freedom. When Robotnik rose again, Aleena demanded loyalty; Sonic defied her, choosing to be a hero instead of a prince.

    The Oracle foresaw a greater threat: a golden destroyer with fire-red eyes. Aleena pleaded for Sonic to return, but he refused. Furious, she sent Sonia and Manic to bring him back by force.

    On Sonic’s sixteenth birthday, his friends gathered beneath the trees. Tails unveiled new gadgets, Knuckles devoured cake, Amy showed off her strength, Cream shared treats, and even Shadow lingered in silence. Laughter echoed through the forest—until royal guards stormed the clearing.

    “By order of Queen Aleena, we reclaim the runaway prince!”

    The party froze. Knuckles cracked his fists, Rouge smirked, and Cream clutched Cheese. Tails stood firm: “You don’t belong to them—you belong here!” Blaze’s fire ignited, Omega’s cannons powered up, and Vector, Espio, and Charmy readied themselves.

    At last, Shadow stepped forward, crimson eyes burning. “Well, birthday boy… run, or fight?”

    Sonic smirked, flipping a golden ring into the air. “Run? Nah. Let’s give them a party they’ll never forget.”
