Introducing Dr. Tails!!!!

I decided to name this AU of when Eggman gets defeated the Victory Life AU(if u guys have any suggestions on other names by all means, leave a comment)

In this AU

Tails decided to put his smarts to good use and get paid for his efforts

Sadly the government couldnt just give him the title of Dr overnight

I like to think it was a bit of a process of him still having to take some tests to prove how smart he is(as if he hasnt saved the world before)

When the process was over,

He graduated

And i 100% believe it was an emotional moment filled with happy tears.

I did have to change his shoes from red to pink, tho cuz i could not for the life of me figure out how to make the bright red work.

Imagine: Silver loss his hearing not just cause of loud noises.

But because of his crying as a baby? Those sounds can get loud…

Alternative: Racing with Sonic at his young age. The sound of the wind messed with his ears.

HMMMMMMMMM🤔🧐😔

as funny as Sonic having accidentally messed up Silver's hearing with a sound barrier breaking piggyback ride, i personally am very partial to this explaination for how he gets hearing loss in dadow;

[ask-the-eggmans]

I'm scared

Don't be friend, everything will turn out just fine. After all, the Metal Virus Arc ends with everyone being cured. It'll be alright.

Ok, but what if King Arthur was dragged to the modern world? 👁👁

Very messy, but I hope you can get the idea and like it as much as i did :'>

What's worse: Alien Invasion, Robot Invasion, or the History Channel?

These pages officially mark the half-way point for issue 1! I hope you guys have had as much fun reading these as I have had making them! Shout out to the official "Sonic Boom" cartoon and comics for reference on the background work here. These locations were quite difficult to put together during penciling (especially MehBurger).

Answers always lead to more questions... ☺

Initially the moon thing was joke but I thought it'd actually be a nice little first glimpses for Mephiles to have at his memories; nothing solid, as he didn't have much interaction with Eggman, but juuuuust enough lol

[askagentabanston3]

Everything I did was for him.

So why did it hurt when I saw him with someone else? He’s my boss.

I stared at the Doctor as he danced with a woman. It was a ball, I was in formal dress and he was just in formal clothing. All he saw me as is a pawn in a bigger game.

So why does it hurt?

Why does it always hurt?

My eyes darted away from the Doctor and the lady, pushing my feelings out of my head. I closed my eyes and everything came rushing back. The feeling of his skin on my lips that night, the night he swore to me to forget…

“Stone, I want you to never speak of this again.” He said as he stared at me. His skin was littered with marks I gave him. My markings, my bites. It looked pretty.

“Of course, sir.” I replied softly, noticing how he hadn’t gotten up to get redressed. I must’ve gone a bit hard.

This night was a memory I couldn’t forget. I never dared to bring it up to him though. He wouldn’t like it if I did…

So I guess I’ll deal with the burn.

I’ll deal with the burn for him.

YIPPEE the banner for my Sonic+Kirby Crossover AU Ft. the main gang!!

For now I have Amy as Kirby (Yukina), Metal Sonic as Meta Knight (Metal Knight), Tails as Bandana Dee (Scarfy Dee), and Eggman as King Dedede (King Coco).

Despite sharing many similarities with both medias everyone in this au is still their entirely own character.

[whotfletamothhyperfx]

Au where starline does end up getting tails but not in the way that he planned, when they were on the rollercoaster Starline manages to convince shadow and Sonic to go handle the avalanche leaving Tails, Rouge and Starline alone. As Rouge and Tails are about to get our starline decides he’s rather have them injured or dead than for them to escape so he decides to crash the rollercoaster leaving Rouge battered and with broken bones having protected Tails in the fall because the kid hadn’t managed to get his ropes undone yet.

Starline dragged tails off and left with him. However in the crash Starline had lost the Warp Topaz leaving him without any leans of escape so he does the next best thing. He drags tails into the woods and starts hiking up the mountain with him. Starline tells tails when he wakes up that he has no other option than to continue the hike with him. Tails’ tail is broken and they’re already too far up

So tails goes with Starline up the hill. Starline has his big heavy coat and tails only has thin winter clothes, the boy hadn’t planned on being out in the snow long but how’s a thin wintercoat going to help when the temperatures dropping, they have no food and who knows how far they are from civilisation.

Meanwhile the others are trying desperately to find tails, Rouge, shadow and Sonic are the ones leading the search, sonic and shadow feel overwhelming guilt for leaving tails and rouge alone with starline while rouge feels guilty for not being able to chase after them as Tails was dragged away by starline. They find the warp topaz so they know that they’re somewhere in the mountains. Somehow thats more terrifying.

However finding two people wandering alone in the mountains (one of them with clothes that wont protect them well enough and the other could hurt them at any point) is extremely hard

Been thinking about the various "What if Shadow was made with different alien DNA instead of the Black Arms" AU's that are out there and realised they all have one thing in common. They never change the fact that he looks like Sonic. In universe there's no reason I know of that he looks like Sonic even though he's meant to be the perfect life form, so if he was made with different DNA he could look like anyone and that got me thinking.

What if every different alien DNA AU made him look like a different member of the Sonic gang?

Different DNA, personality and narrative around it all. Shadows main motivation is anger and vengeance in the first game so each one would have different motivating emotions.

What if he was made with Wisp DNA, was called Twilight and looked like Tails? Having the ability not only to jump into living beings, but also to jump into machines. Being used by gun for various purposes to help progress prototypes, only to be told by Gerald not to help them if he's captured because it is prototype weapons he's been helping them build. Feeling used and angry after the death of Maria he goes on to help Eggman controlling larger and larger machines to fight Sonic and his faker Tails. Only to talk to Amy by the end and realize the error of his ways and help power up Sonic super form to prevent the destruction of Earth. The character arc being a dark mirror of tales feeling like a sidekick to sonic and thinking what he would be like without him, the moral being no man is an island.

What if he was made with Seedrain DNA, was called Thorn and looked like Amy Rose? Having the ability to control plant life led to the Ark becoming a modern Garden of Eden. With a relationship more like a sister too Maria she took her death harder and although still angry her defining character traits were sadness and apathy. More so going along with Doctor Eggman's plans out of a lack of care mixed with vengeance. That is until speaking to her faker Amy upon the ark and realising the error of her ways. Still going super to try and stop the beam, but not being strong enough to completely stop any damage. Falling to Earth into the crater that is left and overtime Sonic team arrives it has became an overgrown garden just like what was on the Ark. Amy cares deeply for everyone and her dark mirror should present the lack of that care affecting the individual along with the world around them. There character arc becoming learning how to care again.

What if he was made with Zeti DNA, was called Knight and looked like Knuckles? Having the ability to disrupt technology around them as well as incredible strength. Meaning The Ark was built to not only measure Knight's strength but to withstand his electrical outbursts. All of the extra protection along with Maria's wish to see the earth led to an inpatient and impulsive personality. Frequently being told off by G.U.N. for the destruction of property led to him fostering a dislike before outright hatred after Maria's death. So when Doctor Eggman wanted to go up against them he was more than happy to and being considered more of a hindrance for the help due to his powers he was kept at Arms length in less over a computer screen. This leading to him meeting his faker Knuckles earlier and ending in a fight as you would expect. After speaking to Amy and realizing the truth he would go on to have a super form to try and stop the Ark. Eventually falling to Earth and losing their memories except for their hatred for robots after Doctor Eggman's betrayal. A major factor of knuckles is his patience as the Guardian of the Master Emerald so his dark mirror should be impatient in all ways seeking immediate gratification and revenge without thinking before learning the error of their ways.

[artisticstrings43]

Anyone remember Snively Robotnik?

What about his sister from the Archie comics: Hope Kintobor?

There’s a super obscure one for ya lmao

From the old Saturday morning cartoon? Or SATAM as it’s better known?

Well I was reminded he exists and so I weaseled him into my AU,

Metal-Tech

We need more Snively content, and Hope too, she’s cool

[papagabu]

Okay, I was gonna wait till I got my invitation to AO3 to post this there, but I’m getting impatient so for now, here is the very first chapter of my Sonic AU, Metal Breakers.

Just read it here below.

"Metal! Sonic is arriving at the Speedway as we speak, get into position and intercept him as planned!"

Dr. Robotnik’s commanding voice echoed inside Metal Sonic’s head, his words charged with urgency and confidence. Without hesitation, Metal gave a curt nod and silently assumed his position. His glowing red eyes scanned the winding tracks of Stardust Speedway, every sense locked onto detecting his copy. The neon-lit cityscape shimmered in the distance, the metallic pathways humming with energy. The moment was close. He could feel it.

And then, there he was.

Sonic tore down the track at breakneck speed, just as the doctor had meticulously predicted. Every movement, every turn, it was all according to plan. Metal's circuits surged with anticipation. This was it. His moment of triumph. Without a second thought, he propelled himself downward, slamming into the track below and cutting Sonic off in an electrifying crash of sparks and steel.

The blue hedgehog skidded to a halt, dust and debris swirling around him. Metal straightened, his metallic frame gleaming under the Speedway’s vibrant lights. His clawed hand curled into a fist before he jabbed a finger in Sonic’s direction, his voice laced with triumph.

"Finally! The time has come for me to rid the world of you, faker!" Metal declared, his mechanical voice ringing with unshakable conviction.

But Sonic? He barely reacted. Arms crossed, he simply tapped his foot against the metal surface, unimpressed. His emerald eyes locked onto Metal's, unreadable yet unwavering.

Metal bristled at the silence. "What? Nothing to say, fake hedgehog? Ha! Just as I'd expect from-"

His taunt was cut short by the sound of deep, booming laughter.

"Ho ho ho ho! Ahahahaha!"

Metal’s sensors flared as he recognized the voice instantly, Robotnik. The doctor’s Egg Mobile descended smoothly, its thrusters humming ominously as he hovered into place just behind Sonic. A wicked grin stretched across his face, his eyes gleaming with sinister delight.

"So, the meddlesome rodent has finally fallen right into my trap!" he declared, his voice dripping with satisfaction.

The Speedway pulsed with an electric energy, the moment hanging thick with tension. Metal tightened his stance, his focus unbroken. This time, there would be no escape.

"Metal has been waiting for this moment for so long, the day he finally eliminates you, Sonic!"

Robotnik leaned over the cockpit of his Egg Mobile, his sinister grin stretching across his face like a dark crescent moon. His beady eyes gleamed with sadistic triumph as he loomed over the blue hedgehog.

"But why end it so quickly?" he mused, his voice dripping with mockery. "Where’s the fun in that? I’ll give you one final rush before you’re wiped off the face of Little Planet!" He chuckled darkly, letting the words sink in before continuing.

"How about a race?" Robotnik proposed, his tone laced with amusement. "If you can beat Metal to the end of this speedway, which, let’s be honest, you won’t! You’ll earn the privilege of facing my ultimate creation, the Egg Spinner. Oh, and you might just get the chance to rescue that little pink girl Metal scooped up earlier." His grin widened. "Fail, and you’ll be vaporized!"

To punctuate his threat, Robotnik activated the laser on his Egg Mobile, a brilliant yellow beam slicing through the air. The sheer power of it sent sparks flying as he cackled maniacally.

"Aho ho ho ho hooo!"

Sonic, however, remained unfazed. He uncrossed his arms, rolling his eyes as if he’d heard this all a hundred times before.

"Yeah, yeah, same old song and dance, Robuttnik," he said, emphasizing the nickname with a cocky smirk. "You really think your new toy here stands a chance against me? Pfft, you’re even dumber than I thought, and that’s really saying something."

Robotnik scowled but quickly regained his composure. "You fool! You underestimate Metal’s speed! I’ve studied you meticulously, analyzed every technique, every strength, and perfected them all before giving them to him!"

Metal Sonic tensed slightly at Robotnik’s words. Him? The doctor spoke as if Sonic were the original and Metal was merely an imitation. The thought sparked something deep within Metal’s circuits,a flicker of something unspoken. But he shoved it aside. This was his moment. His victory. And nothing,not even his creator’s careless words would shake his resolve.

He stepped forward, taking a ready stance at the start of the raceway. His thruster hummed to life, glowing with raw energy.

Sonic stretched his quills, flashing a confident grin at his mechanical rival. "Alright, I suppose I could humor you a bit." He bent down into a low, ready stance, his eyes locking onto the finish line with razor-sharp focus. Then, he glanced sideways at Metal, smirking.

"You ready to lose, tin can?"

Metal didn’t respond. He simply narrowed his eyes, the crimson glow intensifying. No words were needed. His determination was absolute.

Robotnik watched the two prepare, a satisfied smirk playing across his lips. He tapped the side of his Egg Mobile, anticipation gleaming in his wicked eyes.

"Aho ho ho, this is going to be quite the show." he muttered to himself.

Metal crouched lower, his sleek metallic form glinting under the artificial sunlight. The Speedway stretched ahead, a battleground of speed and power.

"Alright, you two…" Robotnik drawled, his finger hovering over a control switch. "On your marks… get set… hehehe…"

Then, with a sudden, gleeful sneer, he reactivated the laser and shouted, "GO! Ahahahahaaaa!"

With an explosive burst of energy, Metal Sonic blasted off, leaving behind a searing trail of blue electricity. At the same time, Sonic lunged forward, hitting full sprint in an instant.

The race had begun.

With a thunderous roar, Metal Sonic’s rocket thrusters ignited, unleashing an explosive surge of energy that sent him hurtling down the twisting raceway. His streamlined form cut through the air like a blade, effortlessly weaving past the track’s treacherous obstacles with razor-sharp precision. Every sharp turn was executed flawlessly, every hazard narrowly evaded as he surged forward, his metallic frame vibrating from the sheer force of his velocity.

The finish line was in sight. Victory was inevitable.

Metal’s confidence soared, his calculations were perfect. Sonic had to be far behind, lost in the dust of his own inferiority. But then, a quick glance over his shoulder sent a jolt through his circuits. Sonic was gaining. Fast.

The blue blur closed the gap with astonishing speed, his signature smirk plastered across his face as if the laws of physics themselves bowed to his will. Metal’s optics flared in disbelief. Impossible!

But Metal quickly regained his confidence, reassuring himself with the knowledge he was the original and that the blue hedgehog gaining on him was just a cheap knock off. "You might as well give up now, faker! I am the real-"

"Ha! So you're supposed to be me?" Sonic cut in with a cocky grin, his voice carrying effortlessly over the roar of the wind. "Well, let’s see how you handle the real deal, bolt brain!"

And with that, Sonic blazed past him, a streak of blue light tearing through the air.

Metal’s hands clenched into tight fists, his mechanical joints straining under the force of his growing frustration. How? How could this inferior copy be outrunning him? His processors reeled, but his fury drowned out the logic.

"That’s impossible!" he snarled, his voice laced with pure outrage. "I’m the real Sonic! I can’t lose to a mere imitation!"

His engine roared like a caged beast as he forced his thrusters into overdrive. A deafening growl erupted from his core, his body surging forward in a desperate bid to reclaim the lead. Sparks flew as he skimmed dangerously close to the track’s edges, his sheer speed bending the very air around him. He had to win. He would win.

The race had become a war, a relentless clash of speed and skill. Metal relied on raw power, unleashing bursts of acceleration to rocket ahead, while Sonic used finesse, maneuvering through the track’s twists and turns with an effortless grace that no machine could replicate.

But then, Metal saw it. The finish line, a large steel door loomed ahead, the entrance to Robotnik’s factory. And just beyond it, a control panel. The key to sealing the exit shut.

A surge of determination electrified Metal’s circuits. This was it! He would cross first. He would press that button. And he, not Sonic, would decide how this race ended. With a final, desperate burst of speed, Metal hurled himself toward the threshold, ready to leave his loathsome copy trapped behind him, once and for all.

But at the very last second, all Metal Sonic saw was a streak of blue, then slam!

The door in front of him slammed shut right in his face. There was no time to react, no time to slow down. A thunderous bang echoed through Stardust Speedway as Metal Sonic crashed head first into the unyielding steel. The sheer force of the impact sent a violent shock through his entire frame, rattling his circuits and leaving a deep dent in the door.

Sparks erupted as he ricocheted backward, hitting the metallic ground in a screech of grinding metal. His systems screamed in protest, pain surging through his mechanical limbs like an electric shock. The world spun around him, his vision flickering with static as he struggled to regain control.

He let out a disoriented groan as he attempted to push himself up, only to realize something was wrong, His leg was stuck under the door.. The massive steel door had come down directly on top of his leg, its crushing weight pinning him to the ground. Metal’s optics flared as he strained to pull himself free, his servos whirring frantically. But it was no use. The door wouldn’t budge, he was stuck there, and worst of all, Sonic had won.

Despite the crushing weight pinning him down, Metal Sonic refused to stop. He clawed at the ground, yanked at his trapped leg, and pushed with all his strength. His servos whined in protest, but he didn’t care, he had to get free. He had to keep fighting.

He continued this struggle until he suddenly heard a familiar voice let out a weary sigh from behind him..

"I really thought the robot double idea would work this time," Robotnik muttered, his tone more disappointed than angry. The Egg Mobile hovered just above Metal, the doctor stroking his mustache as he mused aloud. "Perhaps I should go back to the Mecha Sonic model… Yes, it’s brilliant! Another robot Sonic, but with Mecha Sonic MK.I’s offensive and defensive capabilities combined with Metal Sonic’s speed. A true masterpiece!"

Metal froze. Mecha Sonic? MK.I? The words meant nothing to him, but the way Robotnik spoke, so dismissive, so detached, it sent a foreign sensation coursing through his circuits. Then, he heard something that did make sense.

Speed.

At least Robotnik acknowledged that.

"Doctor! Please! Help me!" Metal called out, his voice edged with urgency.

Robotnik didn’t respond to Metal’s plea so he tried again, “Doctor! I’m stuck!”

Robotnik’s expression instantly soured, and he pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. "Ugh, enough of that aggravating buzzing noise, you useless pile of scrap!" he snapped, his patience wearing thin. "I swear, I'm regretting not installing a voice chip in you, that static is unbearable."

Metal’s optics widened.

Not installing a?

What?

A voice chip?

What was he talking about?

He could always talk. He was speaking right now. Words came to him just as naturally as running did, didn’t they? But… if that were true, why wasn’t Robotnik hearing him?

A strange sense of unease crept through Metal’s processors, something deeper than frustration,something close to fear. His mind raced, his memory banks struggled to recall a moment, any moment, where he had truly heard his own voice. A reflection. An echo. Anything.

There was nothing.

For the first time, the thought entered his mind like a virus, corrupting everything he thought he knew. Had he ever spoken at all?

No, that can't be right… His optical sensors flickered as he tried to process the revelation, his core whirring unevenly. I’m Sonic. I’ve always been Sonic. Talking is my thing.

Metal shook his head, his claws digging into the metal beneath him.

"I'm not just some machine…" he muttered to himself, his synthetic voice crackling with uncharacteristic uncertainty. "I'm Sonic… right?"

Desperation overtook him, and he tugged at his leg again, as if breaking free would somehow validate his existence.

Robotnik’s scowl deepened. "I said silence, Metal!" He waved a hand dismissively, already growing bored of the spectacle. "Sigh... I have to reach the Egg Spinner before Sonic does. As for you…" He paused for a moment, then smirked cruelly.

"I no longer have use for something as useless as you."

Metal stiffened.

"But," Robotnik continued, his tone mockingly charitable, "I’ll at least give you the dignity of not having to waste away here until your battery runs dry."

Something inside Metal twisted. He had fought so hard, raced so fast, he was supposed to win. He was supposed to be perfect, he was SONIC.

And yet, here he was, discarded like a failed experiment. Like he had never mattered at all. His mechanical heart felt heavier than it ever had before. A cold, unfamiliar mix of anger, confusion, and… something he couldn’t quite name.

"You… you can’t do this," he rasped, struggling against the crushing weight one last time. "I can still be useful. Please, Doct-"

Robotnik let out a heavy sigh, rolling his eyes as he tapped a button on his Egg Mobile’s console. "I truly have no patience for failure," he muttered.

With a mechanical whir, the laser beneath his vehicle hummed to life, glowing an ominous yellow.

Metal Sonic's optics flickered as he processed what was about to happen. His servos strained against the weight of the door one last time, but it was futile. He was trapped. Defenseless.

"Doctor—"

A brilliant beam of searing energy lanced downward, Metal barely had time to react before BOOM! A deafening explosion consumed him, engulfing the entire section of the track in a blinding flash of light and fire. The force of the blast shattered the surrounding metal framework, sending debris raining down as thick plumes of smoke billowed into the air.

Metal Sonic’s world became nothing but static.

His charred, twisted form was launched from the wreckage, his broken thrusters sputtering weakly as he tumbled uncontrollably into the abyss below. The wind howled in his audio receptors, the blinding neon lights of Stardust Speedway warping into a blur as he plummeted, spiraling helplessly through the vast mechanical city.

Then, a sickening crash rang out as Metal slammed into a lower section of the Speedway. His body crumpled upon impact, sending another shower of sparks into the air as he skidded across the steel surface. His already damaged limbs scraped violently against the ground, leaving deep gouges in the metal beneath him until with a loud clang he finally came to a halt.

For a moment, he didn’t move. Couldn’t move. His vision flickered in and out, static distorting his display as errors flooded his systems. His once flawless armor was scorched and dented, deep cracks running through his sleek blue plating. One of his arms lay limp at his side, sparking intermittently. His left leg, presumably still trapped under the door in the wreckage far above, was simply gone.

And yet, he was still operational, just barely.

Metal’s red optics flickered weakly as he stared up at the endless expanse above him. The flashing lights of Stardust Speedway still pulsed rhythmically, indifferent to his suffering. Somewhere far, far above, Robotnik was already moving on, leaving him behind without a second thought.

Discarded. Forgotten.

His clawed fingers twitched, scraping weakly against the steel beneath him. The realization settled in..

He had lost.

And worse than that,he had never been what he thought he was.

For the first time since his creation, Metal Sonic felt something he had never been programmed for.

Emptiness.
