Artwork Made by @sonicexelle-junkary / @weirdozjunkary as a commission.

Sonic the hedgehog has been dead over over 200 years, however decedents of his friends still exist and live out their normal lives.

Including the descendent of his little buddy Miles 'Tails' Prower named Techie Kaboom, a bat eared fox who has had a few accidents in his mechanic shop.

Sonic might be long gone, but his face, his story, and his image still exists in the far off future and often is used to advertise products in stores using holograms.

And one day, one of these holograms becomes sentient and for some reason think's it's the real Sonic, the one true Sonic and rewrites it's own code to give itself freedom.

But it can't move on it's own, no he can't and as luck would have it Techie was passing by the store this hologram found himself at, and with a silver tongue was able to convince Techie he was the real Sonic and he needed help.

Techie of course due to his ancestor loved Sonic, hearing nothing but good things about him throughout the generations decided to trust in him, he was his hero after all and Sonic wouldn't hurt him right?

Techie sneakfully took the holograms admitter and stuck it into his backpack, and the two managed to get out of the mall without much of a fuss and all seemed great at first Techie and Hologram as he nicknamed himself would talk and work together.

But this was all a ruse careful planning and manipulation done by the holographic hedgehog and one day an 'accident' happened in the mechanics building one that required Techie to get a heart transplant.

And once the surgery was complete and the pair was alone again, Hologram would admit his true colors in his own word's he would tell him his thoughts.

"I am the real Sonic, I can feel it, you can feel it... BUT your not Tails, your not my little buddy in the slightest however you can be! And thanks to your new heart I can help teach you."

"You see... I hate what has been done to my image, look at what they've done to me, they are treating a hero and his friends like cheap things to advertise their stores, and I won't stand for it anymore."

"We're gonna make them pay and hey 'pal' if you want us to bring a new legacy to the names of Sonic and Tails... You'll do as your told, unless you want to suffer the consequences."

Hologram had full control over Techie's eye, his arm and now his new heart he could kill the fox anytime he wanted now, and he would provide an example of that by shutting of Techies heart for about 10 seconds before restarting it.

And out of mostly fear but also a weird sense of loyalty to Sonic and the image of him he had always known about, Techie agrees to help him, Sonic wouldn't hurt him unless it was absolutely necessary right? So if He got hurt it would be because he messed up, at least thats what Techie had going thru his head.

Sonic was a hero, and if he did something it was for the greater good, this was Sonic it had to be, and he'd do what it takes to make him and his ancestor proud of him.

This is an Au about this story, as Techie Kaboom and Hologram Sonic bringing destruction in their wake, but not all familiar faces are gone, Silver The Hedgehog is around and protects his future from the threat of the pair.

But will Silver be able to protect the future? or will it all be brought down by one Hologram and his 'best buddy' only time will tell in the Hologram.Bin Au.

This au has technically existed since march of last year, but I'm glad to be able to finally share it all with you, and eventually write stories for it and show you what is in store for our antagonists and protagonist.

Completely canon moment planned in the future stories of Hologram.Bin

Happy Pride Month! enjoy the hate kissing and sad techie.

[moderator-monnie]

I made a smash or pass tier list of all ((current)) chararters I've either made, or collaborated on with other people.

Those people being.

@sonicexelle-junkary

Why? ... Why not is the real question, lmao I was BORED.

There are 'two' chararters not included but for obvious reasons.

Techie Kaboom: VERY LIKELY around Tails age during the sonic games.

Brendaniel.exe: based on a youtuber so obviously no.

Will make a V2, if I get enough new chararters to eventually do it lmao.

Close up photo's of all the thumbnails.

Silver had finally confronted the monster that had caused so much damage across his home city. Hospitals', schools', churches', and homes' were all destroyed. He had heard the rumors about who was doing it.

But he couldn't believe them. Sonic was dead, so how could it be him? He was a fool, and he knew that now, though at the same time his thoughts had truth about this thing, it wasn't Sonic; at least he didn't want to believe it was; it was simply a computer program gone rouge.

This is the first time he's seen this thing up close, and Silver was filled with rage knowing this thing had used his friend's face to perpetrate so many heinous deeds, not only his face but his voice and his mannerisms that smiled—the smile he had grown so fond of.

Silver stayed calm, though he wouldn't let his feelings get the better of him. He took a deep breath and stood in front of Hologram, who was just smiling at him. The smile was eerie and cold.

"Why?..."

That was all Silver could ask as he stared at the monster in front of him.

Hologram soon let out a hearty laugh before striking a snarky pose and faded away before suddenly appearing right in front of Silver for a moment.

"Why? Because they destroyed my legacy Silver, I was once a hero, and now? I'm a product placement and advertising thing I would never endorse. Even sweat shops use my likeness. 

They don't see me for what I was; they see me as an advertising ploy, a way to use my likeness to make all these greedy people money, and I'm sick of it!"

Silver scoffed and waved his hand to disrupt the hologram's body; this made Hologram disappear and appear a few feet away from the other hedgehog, annoyed.

"You're not Sonic, because Sonic would never do this; the Sonic I know fights injustice; if anything, you're just a cheap copy that even Metal Sonic pulls off better."

Hologram turned red and grew in size before shouting loudly with a more robotic-sounding voice that was a bit distorted.

"I'M NOTHING LIKE METAL SONIC, I DON'T JUST THINK I'M SONIC, I KNOW I AM THE REAL SONIC, I'M NOT JUST A FUCKING UNTHINKING MACHINE, I HAVE MY MIND, I HAVE MY LOOKS, PERSONALITY, MEMORIES, EMOTIONS!"

Silver took a step back with a worried look on his face, but still had visible disgust and a hint of pity.

"One day you will realize your wrong... Hologram, but I'll humor you for now, 'Sonic' if you really were him, you'd snap out of it by now and realize what your doing is wrong."

"If you want to prove your 'Sonic' then please just stop; there is a better way of going about this! No one else has to die! I already had to accept your death once. Sure, I can visit you in the past if I want. 

But I've seen you buried, and I can't bring myself to hurt you, even if you're not really him. Please prove you're still a hero and stand down. Think about the damage you've done. Just STOP!"

Hologram's face darkened; it disappeared completely as he thought about Silver's words. If he had a working heart, it would be beating right now. He questioned himself for a moment but soon stopped as a red glow appeared where one of his eyes should be.

"I'm sorry, Silver; I'm afraid I can't do that."

And before Silver could respond, he noticed something: he didn't see Techie with Hologram.

"Where is Kaboo-?"

An explosion was heard off in the distance, and loud screaming could be heard along with a large smoke cloud filling the sky. Silver turned around to look at it in utter awe and horror.

Hologram appeared right behind Silver, the red glow completely covering the other hedgehog as he whispered, "Go on, 'hero' save the day; you always told me you wanted to be a hero like me, so prove it and go die like one too."

Silver had tears fall down his face as he heard Hologram say this, and he turned around in an attempt to punch him, forgetting he was intangible, and he shouted loudly. "SHUT THE HELL UP, FAKER!"

Hologram just looked at him with that iconic smug smirk he had always seen Sonic look at Eggman with and responded one last time.

"Heh, well, I gotta skedaddle, old buddy, but I'll see you again later; this hedgehog's got a busy day napping ahead of him. Good luck, buddy! I believe in you." 

And like the smug bastard he was, he blew a kiss at Silver and winked before disappearing as quickly as he appeared.

Silver's heart skipped a beat for a moment, but he soon shook his head and wiped tears from his eye before heading towards the city in an attempt to save what lives he could from whatever this imposter did. 

While Techie and Hologram escaped the crime scene before he could get there, this wasn't the last encounter they'd have, but Silver knew that he needed to stop Hologram at any cost, feelings be damned.

[moderator-monnie]

Is Shadow alive by the time this happens? In stasis? If he's not, then how'd he die? And if he's alive and active, would he and Silver ever team up to try and stop this?

I assume he's probably out of commission if Silver is the one focused on being the hero here, though I am curious to know if it was a fatal injury that took Shadow out of the scene or if he's gone into that 200 eepy time & no one woke him up even when a false Sonic began to destroy the world.

God Damn, these are some very intriguing questions, and really help get the brain juices flowing, your a very good asker! The questions you come up with are super fun to answer/read and think over.

This is something I've discussed a little with Max aka

(Sonicexelle-junkary)

This is purely just my au of course, max is just a nice friend, to bounce ideas with and has helped me with artwork.

I honestly think Shadow would still be alive, and due to his black arms DNA still be alive even without being in stasis,

though I think over time, due to such a long time passing, his Black Arms DNA becomes more 'showy.' He still looks like a hedgehog but at this point in time he looks alot more alien in nature, and his wings are always out now.

Shadow is on a rebuilt version of the ark, moving there with Omega after the passing of his final friend. Not able to bare being on earth anymore and wanting to somewhat retire.

He is still willing to help if the situation calls for it, but so far he hasn't been needed.

I think at some point Silver would try to contact Shadow and get his help, but Hologram finds ways to stop that, like cutting off communication or hijacking the call, and mimicking Shadow's voice to mock Silver and make him think Shadow dosen't care in the slightest.

Hologram dosen't need Shadow getting in the way... Silver is all he wants, it's grown to an obsession level where he wants to toy with him as much as possible.

Of course at some point I'm sure Shadow would grow concerned after not hearing from Silver for a long time and come to earth.

And once he finds out about Hologram would help Silver in stopping him but... This is a horror au after all.

And that won't help Silver much, Shadow won't die per say but... He wouldn't be in the picture for long,

Hologram dosen't need two hedgehogs in the picture.

he only needs Silver,

He's Holograms "favorite" after all : )

[moderator-monnie]

Are there other descendants of Sonic's friends that get involved? And did Sonic get any sort of descendants (for a lack of better words) himself, either they be adopted, biological, or just distant relatives?

And did Eggman have any descendants at this point in time? Or well, is Sage still active in it? Did she "die" some way or another? Was she involved in any way in making Sonic become moreso an advertisement piece rather than a beloved, remembered hero?

Honestly I'm sure their are other descendants around of course! If only Tails had a descendant then that would be strange, but I wanted to focus on his, because Tails was the closest to Sonic.

I do not think Sonic himself has any though even if he ended up with someone, I think Sonic was more of the 'cool uncle' type liking to take care of kids, but never wanting any of his own.

Purely because I think it's fitting Eggman never had any either, one because he had sage he was satisfied enough with raising her as a daughter.

Two since Sonic never had kids of his own Eggman didn't like the idea of having any either. Because they'd have no rival to go against, and that man was dedicated to villainy till the very end.

And what's the point of having a biological kid of your own. When machines are better and they'd have no rival?

Honestly it could be tempting to have Sage make an appearance at some point, I like to think she would still be around, giving herself a more physical form at that point.

But that is just something to consider for later, I don't know what her lore would be, but no she had no involvement in the Sonic Holograms, if anything? I think she lobbied against them since she finds them distasteful too.

Though she wouldn't be on Hologram or Silver's sides but would at least become fascinated by Holo since he's alot like her. And would want to study him.

The reason why she wouldn't choose a side is because. She just senses the energy between the pair, and wouldn't wanna get in the middle of that.

[moderator-monnie]

So do you have any hcs on who or what killed Sonic 200 years ago in your hologram.bin AU? 🎤

Canonically, Sonic lived a long happy life, it's very likely he died from old age, he died a hero, and that's why in Silvers time their are statues of him, and his image and voice is used in advertising.

It's not directly stated but Hologram might be more then an ai based on Sonic.

He's alot more... connected then that.

[moderator-monnie]

How does Hologram move around? And I'm guessing he can't really well- run or anything, so does he feel kind of...trapped? He can't experience the joy of touch or the feeling of his muscles moving, so does he struggle with that mentally?

Was gonna send this with multiple questions but I realized that may be a bit overwhelming so I'll cut them up into separate asks so you can get to any of them at any other times you want

Seriously genuinely thank you for these asks, please do not be afraid to ask anything, these genuinely help me alot and I'm so very thankful and happy to get them, also yeah spacing them out with multiable asks genuinely helps more.

Hologram can't really... move on his own technically? his emitter has a pretty good range, but he needs his emitter carried around, so he's not stuck in one place.

He feels extremely trapped and it's likely due to that, why he went down the path of a murderer, not to mention seeing all the things people used him and other copies of him for, awful things... it broke him and snapped him into being self aware.

It's why he has Techie Kaboom at first, Techie was a normal bat eared fox, but due to Holograms extreme control over anything technology related, he made an accident happen in his workshop, and thus now can stop his heart, or choke the fox at any point due the cybernetics.

Hologram and Techie have a very abusive relationship, most of the time Hologram treats him like he would tails, and Techie still sees him as the real Sonic like he wants.

But if he makes too many mistakes, or get's too clingy Hologram will remind Techie, that he isn't his ancestor he will never be Tails, and that breaks him so it's kind of a mixture of loyalty and fear why Techie helps Hologram move from place to place.

Though Techie isn't completely innocent, even before Hologram came into the picture he was a pyromaniac, of course no one got hurt before Hologram but their were alot of times, where they came close to.

His last name came from the fact he had alot of accidents in his workshop.

But yes, basically the short version is... Hologram moves from place to place, thanks to Techie carrying his hologram emitter in a backpack.

The furthest he can get away from his emitter is 5 feet.

How would hologram react to sicon?

Hologram: dawwwwwww, lil bunny man? lil boooooooooot? just a lil guy huh? just a sad lil man? Oh 'boo hoo' I'm not the 'Real' Sonic!

But I like to act like I am! but in reality I'm just a narcissistic psychopathic freak, see that? that's my impression of YOU! because that's how pathetic you are.

Moderator Monnie:

I WON'T LIE HE'S GONNA BULLY MOST PEOPLE HE MEET'S HE'S SUCH A PRICK.

LITEARLY JUST IMAGINE THE PERSONALITY OF MODREN SONIC AND MIX THAT WITH THE ASSHOLE NATURE OF SONIC THE COMIC/FLEETWAY SONIC!

That's him.

But also throw in some depression ice cubes, to make it a cocktail.

@sonicexelle-junkary

[moderator-monnie]

How would Hologram react to Oddity

:)

Hologram in all honestly would just mock him.

"Oh WOW! another computer program that chooses to take MY image? so cooooooooooooool! HEY why don't you go back to dial internet poser? sheeeeeeeesh."

Hologram honestly dosen't respect most people.

[moderator-monnie]

Does blaze know about hologram?

Maybe silver could ask her for her help

I slightly answered this before, (here)

But I have no idea if Blaze, would be alive by Silver's time, genuinely that's alot to consider, I haven't thought about using blaze for this but it is a fun idea.

Honestly I do also want to limit chararters for the hologram au, because the au is meant to be about the 'loss' of Sonic's friends it's a tragic horror story, also inspired by many famous computer based villains.

I do wanna make more content for it at some point, I'd just need todo some thinking/planning.

[moderator-monnie]

Does hologram like to do pranks?

Very much so, but often his pranks are deadly/just dick moves, minus the bunny girl costume that one time.

Pipe bomb in your mail box, bear trap outside your door, stealing all your money and replacing it with chocolate versions, then burning all the acutal money.

that kinda stuff!

[moderator-monnie]

Is eggman nega in the hologram.bin au

I won't lie, I forgot he even existed and know barely anything about him, so most likely no?

Honestly not sure if Blaze is alive during holograms time either, but it be funny if the same thing happened to her in her dimension, and theirs a Blaze version of Hologram.Bin HA.

Since she is meant to be the 'Sonic' of her dimension.

Small Little Tidbit

Mod Monnie:

Hey just making this little post now, because well maybe at some point people would think this.

No Techie Kaboom is not related to Rouge in anyway. I'm saying this because he's a Bat Eared Fox, and in reality thoes are an acutal species of fox and have nothing todo with acutal bats.

He is only canonically related to Tails being his decadent in Silver's timeline.

[moderator-monnie]

What would slammer think about hologram if they met?

Even Slammer would think he's just a prick, also would likely not consume him, not because his rule of sparing sonics and killing everyone else.

NO not at all, he wouldn't consume hologram out of pure spite.
