Sonic Boom Superstars - Opening Prologue Greetings, Fellow Decepticons! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a story, and after some thinking and having made great progress on the story so far, I’ve decided to release each chapter of my latest tale once a week because I’m so darn excited to show you guys what I’ve made so far! As you know, this will be my own Sonic Boom version of the latest video game release of ’Sonic Superstars’, which came out about two weeks ago, so if anyone hasn’t played the game or the story yet, then click out of this story and play the game first then come back to read it. But if you have played it already, then you are free to go ahead and read my incarnation. ^^The reason why I decided to write this write is because I feel that the Sonic Boom TV Series deserved a much better Grand Finale ending than the underwhelming one that it got in the two part episode ‘Eggman: The Video Game’, and after playing Sonic Superstars, I decided to do something about it and produce not only my own incarnation of the video game, but have it set in the Sonic Boom series and give it the proper true grand finale it really deserves. You will also find lots of Sonic Easter Eggs, references and general Sonic lore in this story, so be sure to look out for them in between the reading lines. ^^ So, we’ll begin with the opening prologue, which I am very proud of, but please do be warned that this will start off quite dark, before it goes into the usual comedy themes of Sonic Boom, and this prologue was also partially inspired by the opening scene of the 2023 film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Enjoy! ….Sonic Boom Superstars By TailsFan2022 Based on the Video Game Sonic SuperstarsOpening PrologueSeven Rings in Hand Our mysterious story begins in a cold and eerie silence with nothing to see and nothing to hear coming from anywhere. All was quiet, and not a sound was to be heard. At least that was the case, until the all too familiar pitter patter sounds of rain could be heard starting to sound off. The rain started off slowly at first, and then getting quicker and faster, rapidly turning into heavy rain followed by a loud thunderclap that boomed across wherever it was coming from. Winds were also picking up in a high and loud manner, making it all the more likely that a tropical storm was set in stone. Until finally, the black screen-like scene finally dissolved away and opened up to show storm clouds with the heavy rain pouring down to the ground it was hitting. And as we move away from the sky, we finally rest our view on the one location that the storm was pouring right down upon. Seaside Island - otherwise best known by its pseudonym name - Bygone Island But while most stories about this familiar island all started off with bright sunshine, beautiful blue skies and colourful tropical birds flying over and off into the horizon, in this case, tonight was different as the rain storm had decided to block out the sky and even the full moon itself behind the thick black clouds. The ocean waves were bigger and rougher than what was normally expected as they could be seen and heard crashing loudly against the sandy beaches and splashing over the rock pools that were in the nearby are. The heavy winds made them reach out to the sandy beaches further and making bigger splash marks than usual. A sudden voice over then spoke to us through an inner monologue, describing something if great importance that should be remembered for much later on in the storyline that we are about to read. ‘There’s a legend written in the books of history about a group of incredibly intelligent people, capable of building great things with their advanced knowledge and intelligence, as well as using all of their scientific skills to make such legendary achievements,’ said the voice, ‘Some of them were good things, but others things were bad and considered failures, especially one, which went out of control and caused a lot of problems for the people who attempted to shut it down.’A lone red hermit crab scuttled along the beach, managing to somehow avoid getting caught by the aggressive waves and drowned in the choppy sea by force. With the storm already proving its point enough, we now venture off from the front of the island and head into one of the many hundreds of jungles seen across the island. The rain pelted down on the tall trees and dampened the long grass and mud puddles that were scattered throughout the jungle. Rain water dripped from the tree leaves and ran down like a mini water fall, whilst plants, flowers, bushes and trees were absolutely soaked with the cold damp substance. The trees swayed in the heavy breeze, shaking water off of their leaves despite this being absolutely useless given rain was going to continue falling on them anyway. Lightning briefly lit up the darkened skies and flashed across the sodden jungle, with the sounds of thunder following a few seconds later. Loud booming thunder to be exact. It wasn’t hard to miss hearing that familiar sound.All locally known jungle animals were nowhere to be seen. They were most likely taking shelter within the trees and bushes trying to avoid getting wet by the heavy rain, but even if they were to find some dry patches in the jungle, it wouldn’t do any good to them as they’d end up getting drenched regardless. For the moment, no one could be seen in the wet jungle as small and large puddles of rain water were forming on the ground, as well as muddy examples that made walking conditions all the more difficult to traverse. ‘But they couldn’t stop it in time’, the voice concluded, ‘And it soon set its target onto something much more powerful than anything those people had ever created. Something that needed to be kept away from its reach, and prevent it from ever getting its hands on them at all cost, even if meant, they had to seal their greatest secret away from the rest of the world. They didn’t want to do that, but they had no choice.’ Everything was silent aside from the pelting raindrops, at least until the sound of running feet could soon be heard coming towards the ground, quietly at first, but it quickly grew louder and splashes from the puddles were almost impossible to miss as they were splashing about from whatever was running straight through them. The sound of someone panting frantically were quickly heard too, growing louder as whoever was running was approaching with very fast movements. *SPLASH!* A mud soaked blue and white streaked boot with a grey sole colour ran over a puddle and made it spray water from the contact, the sounds of panting now heard clearly and loudly, sounding almost panicked and afraid for their own life. The splashing of the puddle under foot made the water splatter on the ground and, unbelievably, formed into watery words and give out an inscription that said the following words, helpfully lightened up by the flashing lightning. The words said: ‘50 Years Ago’. Yes, that’s right. We are in fact not in the current present like we normally would be when it comes to Sonic Boom, but instead, we are actually 50 years in the past, something that wasn’t expected to be seen in this tale. We now follow whoever was running, and while we couldn’t get to see them or their face just yet, what we can see is that they were wearing a brown coloured hooded robe with grey sewn on patch marks that helped to keep whatever holes the rob had on it to look at least tidy and decent, but it was very damp looking considering the fact that it was heavily raining at this moment. White gloves with light blue ring bracelets could be seen on their hands, and a bit of blue sports tape seen wrapped around their arms. Speaking of which, the mystery person were seeming to be clutching something in their closed hands, as a faint set of multi-coloured glowing lights could be seen briefly shining through their fingers. The colours ranged from: Green, Red, Yellow, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Purple and Silver Whatever it was seemed to have a lot of colours and they pulsated lightly in the closed hands of the individual holding them. Thunder clapped, wind howled and lighting flashed one again as the raindrops grew faster and harder, soaking the figure and the entire island even further to add to the overall mysterious atmosphere of what was going on. The mystery figure was running so fast, and so panicky, that they didn’t notice that up ahead there was a tree stump root sticking out of the ground that formed a lump that was often common with trees in the jungle. Unaware of it given their face was obscured by the hood of their robe, the figure’s foot then made contact with the tree root and caused them to sound out with a high pitched yelp and trip over themselves and fall face first into the sodden wet grass, sending a small splash of rain water across the ground. And whereas most scenarios where someone would fall over themselves would be comical and funny at best, in this one case, it wasn’t meant to be a funny one at all. “Ouch!” The person was heard saying, their voice feminine and young sounding. The previously hooded figure was now shown without their hood obscuring their face as they slowly and painfully got up from the ground, damp and wet from the watery grass they just fell into, a slightly bloodied graze forming on their newly-injured knee. They were revealed to be a pretty looking yellow furred hedgehog girl with bright blue eyes, a peachy coloured muzzle, with a blue hair hand and golden yellow quills seen sticking downwards behind their head. Beneath their brown robe was a blue and white streaked dress-like outfit with a short skirt and black shorts seen on them too. As mentioned before, she wore boots with blue and white streaks on them. Because of the hood on their robe no longer covering her head, the fur on the young yellow hedgehog girl’s head had now become soaked and dampened within a matter of seconds from being exposed by the rainstorm. The hedgehog girl grimaced in pain briefly as she quickly checked over her bruised knee, which had a little bit of blood running down from the graze that it sustained from the trip up on the tree stump. And the trip hazard had also caused her to accidentally let go of whatever the glowing thing she had been hiding in her hands and it was sent flying to the ground, though thankfully, not too far away, but only a mere short few yards. The girl gasped in quick realisation when she saw the glowing lights reflecting on her face and she hurried over to where she had dropped it to. And what was laid out on the ground was not something you’d normally take out with you on a nature walk, let alone a camping trip. The glowing lights came from what looked like a set of seven colourful rings, each of them emitting glowing pulsating light that looked absolutely beautiful in the rain despite the darkened atmosphere that were surrounding them. The seven rings were in the aforementioned green, red, yellow, light blue, dark blue, purple and silver colours as described earlier on, and they even made silent pulsating noises that indicated that there was something much more to these seven rings than meets the eye. The hedgehog girl sighed wiped some rain water coming from her brow as she quickly gathered up the seven rings in hand and briefly gazed at them intently. They glowed, pulsated and flashed lightly within her hold and they looked stunning, briefly mesmerising her for a second before she shook it off and looked around her surroundings. No one else was in the jungle at this time of night, but then, a loud and violent explosion sounded from behind her, causing the hedgehog girl to look back briefly and see what looked to be the silhouette of a spiky hedgehog figure walking through the fireball that they just instigated, their face obscured by the smoke that came from the flames of the explosion. While it was heavily raining, the water wasn’t quite quick to dowse the fires out that quickly and so this would take some slow time, which wouldn’t do the trees or surrounding wildlife any good. The stranger’s presence made the hedgehog girl’s blue eyes widen in horror and fear, as she seemed to be on the run from them. “Oh no…” she murmured softly, “He’s coming… they couldn’t hold him back…” Whoever this stranger was, they were an immediate threat and danger to the hedgehog girl, given her quivering voice and fearful look indicated this statement. And whoever ‘they’ were who tried to hold this stranger back had predictably failed and were most likely killed as a result. She glanced briefly at the seven rings sitting in her hands, then glanced up to the approaching hedgehog silhouette, and briefly freezing in scared fright, managed to shake it off and turned herself round to continue her run through the jungle. Despite their newly injured knee slowing them down a little, the hedgehog girl refuses to let the pain hamper their determination and she ran off, trying her best to ignore the pain and carry on with the run. “I cannot let him get his hands on the Chaos Rings,” said the girl, referring to the seven rings in hand, “Grandfather has instructed me to find a safe place to hide them away from him. Their power must be kept away from him, no matter the cost.” And while we are on the subject of these powerful objects, the Chaos Rings were a set of seven powerful rings that were said to have a great energy power stored within each and every one of them, greater than anything else that could have ever existed in the world. Using one of these seven rings could grant you an amazing power, but when all seven of them are used at the same time, the possibilities are endless and unimaginable to the one who uses them, when they are gathered together. But the rings could only be granted to those who have pure of heart and genuinely good intent within them, like keeping the world safe and bringing peace and freedom to the universe, and they were never ever given to those who wanted to use them for evil purposes or even world destruction ideals. So while the rings cannot deny the chosen user their desires and dreams, they could restrict their abilities to better safeguard their powers from being used fully, unless of course, they were forced to do so through abusive means.In short, the Chaos Rings were very, very secretive, and dangerously powerful, and the hedgehog girl needed to hide them away for a good reason.Resuming her run through the jungle, which was now occupied with a bit of a limp thanks to her earlier fall, the yellow hedgehog girl ran as fast as she could until she exited the jungle and ran off into an open field, where she was then greeted by a thick cloud of foggy mist that had started to swirl around the island from beneath the surface. The heavy rain carried on pouring down from the sky and wasn’t helping the girl out at all, only making things really harder than they should’ve been. The fog started to cloud her vision and make it harder for the hedgehog girl to see through it, and a one downside to this fog was that because of the glowing power of the Chaos Rings, which while helpful to light up the path through the fog, it would also be a severe disadvantage because the strange spiky hedgehog pursuing her would be able to find her in the midst of an otherwise impossible to see through misty atmosphere. “Where did this thick fog cloud come from, all of a sudden?’ Asked the girl to herself in bewilderment. Her answer came sooner than expected because when she finally came out of the long fog cloud, she almost ran off the edge of a very high cliff that was on the tipping edge of the whole of Bygone Island. More mists of fog swirled around underneath the edge of the cliff as the whole island seemed to be shrouded with it, as a full moon finally managed to peak through the storm clouds and cast a glowing light through it. “Whah!” She shouted, skidding to a halt. Thankfully, she just managed to stop a few yards short of the cliff’s edge and saved herself from unintentionally running herself off of it, but with the rest of the path all gone, the hedgehog girl was going absolutely nowhere fast. Cautiously, she peered down at the abyss-like canyon of the cliff edge, seeing nothing but fog swirling around in a creepy and eerie manner. “I… I can’t jump…” she thought, “Who knows what will be down there?” The Chaos Rings continued to lightly glow and pulsate in her hands as she hastily looked around for a possible way out of this literal dead end situation, but the mist and fog made it impossible for her to see anymore paths clearly. She was stuck. After a few seconds of panicked panting, the girl was out of ideas for a possible escape route. “Ugh! I’ll have to go back and find another way round!” she concluded, “I need to get these rings safely hidden away from that hedgehog!” *KABOOM!* Before she had the chance to begin double backing on herself, a sudden explosion in the fog cloud behind her caused her to freeze in silent horror and gasp in fright, yellow fur standing up almost on end. Her blue eyes shrunk and her breathing nearly stopped while her heartbeat accelerated slightly from the explosive sound that she suddenly heard go off. “You will do… no… such… thing,” a sudden deep voice then spoke up from behind, putting heavy emphasis on the last three words. “Oh no…” The hedgehog girl whispered in horror, knowing that deep dark voice, “H …He’s here … Project Shadow.” Slowly turning around to face the misty fog, which now had a glowing orange fire ball seen burning in a blurry fashion, the girl watched as the spiky hedgehog figure came walking out of the mist, silhouetted by the orange flames of the fire in the misty background, with a set of bright blood red eyes glowing in the mist, revealing themselves to be a black hedgehog boy with two quills facing downwards behind his head, with four quills pointed upwards in a crooked manner with red streaks of fur on each of the six quills seen on them. Two sets of small cowlick quills pointing upwards could also be seen beneath the bigger quills. In addition to this, he had a slightly dark peach coloured muzzle and ears, red curving streaks above his white eyes, scruffy greyish white fur on his chest, red triangular streak symbols on his legs, along with wearing red, white and black hover shoes, each having golden brass rings on the ankles with yellow ion vents on the soles, and following with wearing white gloves on his hands with the same brass rings on his wrists with red pads that reached to the ends of his wrists and rested on the middle of his gloves. This guy had one name, and one name only: Shadow the HedgehogAlso known by the code-name, ‘Project Shadow’. “I’ve got you where I want you, Maria Robotnik,” Shadow announced eerily. As the evil sounding hedgehog approached nearer towards the end of the foggy cloud, the hedgehog girl now known as Maria Robotnik could only watch in silence and feared the worst once she saw Project Shadow approach her in full view. As he finally left the large foggy cloud cover that seemed to swirl off of him as if it was nothing to him, Shadow slowly and menacingly approached the scared looking yellow hedgehog girl with eyes set on one thing in mind; the seven Chaos Rings, which were still in the girl’s hands. Trying to put on a brave face, which was hard given the situation at hand, Maria stood her ground, but couldn’t help visibly shaking a little out of fear of this evil looking hedgehog boy. “So, you’re that pathetic little girl who was told to take the rings from that doctor’s secret underground laboratory,” said Shadow, speaking calmly but very coldly with a dark smirk on his face, “Admittedly, a very brave effort, but a mostly futile attempt. Those seven rings give me great power, and I have the right to use them.” Even if facing an evil hedgehog was like being on a knife’s edge for her, Maria had good intent in her heart and gave a shaky but powerful glare back to him.“T-They… They’re not yours to use, Shadow!” Maria replied back, raising her voice a little to try and be brave, “My grandfather, Dr Gerald Robotnik, created you from artificial life, and he made you for peaceful purposes, not evil ones!” Shadow’s slight smirk vanished instantly and it was replaced with an aggressive teeth-clenched angry glare with red eyes flaring brightly with rage, that can send enough shivers down your spine that could last for an entire month depending if you suffered from nightmares. Regardless of that statement, Shadow the Hedgehog was not taking ‘No’ for an instant answer. “That foolish old man who created me severely underestimated my true potential, as well as my ultimate power,” he said, red eyes glaring aggressively, “And when he tried to shut me down by force… he ended up with a very heavy price to pay.” For a moment it didn’t seem to click with Maria about what Shadow meant by the words “very heavy price to pay”, but after a second, she blinked and put the pieces together as she gasped in loud horror and tearful anguish as the words finally sunk into her well being and her heart began to feel a painful realisation. That realisation could only be one thing, and it made her eyes start to well with tears, which began appearing at a rapidly horrific pace. “N… No… No…” Maria said, quietly at first, before she screamed, “N-NO! …. NO! …. YOU… YOU DIDN’T?!” All Shadow did was chuckle very quietly, yet very darkly in sadistically murderous glee, lighting flashing and thunder crashing in the misty storm night sky as the penny finally dropped for Maria, not helped by the continuously heavy rain pouring down on the two hedgehogs, making the moment all the moment horrific and somber. “He never stood a chance against me,” was all Shadow said, “His screams were all that I heard, just before I sent him straight to hell. And I never turned back on him.” Maria’s tearful eyes had near waterfalls of water pouring out of them as they were washed away by the heavy rain, her breathing shallow and rapid, trying her best not to cry, although given the fact that Shadow had just outright confirmed that he had indeed murdered her beloved grandfather, Dr Gerald Robotnik, in very cold blood, no less, this was not a very easy thing to do. “N-No, no, no, no, no!” Maria started to sob, “He… He can’t be gone! He can’t! My grandfather can’t be gone!” As Maria’s mind went through a painful punch and she started to cry her fragile heart out for her now-deceased grandfather, which that almost echoed across the whole island, Shadow showed absolutely no sympathy, nor did he care that he murdered his very own creator. All he cared about was himself, and his desired lust for power, as he once again eyed the Chaos Rings in her hands. “And hell is where you will be joining him, unless you hand those Chaos Rings to me, right now,” continued Shadow, “I have big plans of my own for them, and how I will use them against this pathetic planet.” Tearfully sniffling and having heard the evil murderous hedgehog’s intentions on using the seven Chaos Rings for nothing but pure evil malice, Maria managed to stop herself from crying, and while she was still in tears, her gaze had turned from a sorrowful and miserable gaze, into a resentful, angry and distressed glare that showed she was never going to forgive Shadow for murdering his own creator and her grandfather.Without even averting her gaze, Maria’s red tear stained eyes glared right at this murderous rogue hedgehog, a rare sense of anger and despair seen and heard within her. “You will never use these Chaos Rings for anything,” Maria said, slowly but loudly. Finally losing his patience with her stubborn refusal to give him the seven powerful rings, Shadow clenched his fists and decided that if he couldn’t talk her into giving them to him, then the evil hedgehog would just resort to stealing them from her……by sheer, aggressive force. “Enough of this nonsense!” Shadow shouted, “Give me those Chaos Rings! This is your final warning!” Maria tearfully stood her ground, refusing to give into his demands. “No chance,” she said, coldly. Growling with rage, Shadow roared with anger and started charging towards the yellow haired hedgehog girl with his hand out stretched ready to grab the rings, using his hover boots to skate towards her at excessive force. But as Shadow raced at her at full speed, Maria closed her eyes and channelled the power of the Chaos Rings into her well being, before she looked back up and her blue eyes glowed yellow as one of the ring’s powers began coursing through her body. “Time Break!” Maria exclaimed at loud command, spreading her arm out. Within a second, everything around Maria slowed down to a slow motion crawl, which included the rain, the drops of water splashing onto the ground, the swirling mists of fog surrounding the area, the lighting flashing across the horizon, and even slowing down Shadow the Hedgehog himself as he still charged at her, albeit, at much slower speed that even he couldn’t simply pass through easily. The background had also become somewhat grainy and distorted, adding to the effect of the time-slowing ability. Since she was user of this ability thanks to using one of the Chaos Rings to initiate the command of that power, Maria could remain moving at normal speed, but rather than move, she was more focused on sending the seven Chaos Rings away into hiding, and to do that, she had no choice but to split them into individual hiding places where Shadow could never find and seize them for his own personal gain.“I don’t have much time, so I need to make this quick,” Maria said to herself, as she had the seven rings circle around her by command. With a tearful sniffle and a deep sigh, Maria closed her eyes and focused, talking in a chant-like tone of voice that only the Chaos Rings around her could hear. She then began to talk to the rings, reciting a familiar sounding prayer. “The servers of the Seven Chaos,” Maria chanted, “Chaos is Power… Power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos.” The seven Chaos Rings glowed brightly and began to spin around horizontally, slowly at first, before gradually moving faster and faster, as Maria opened her eyes and looked at the seven powerful artefacts with a sorrowful and tearful gaze, hands ready to send them away through a physical telekinetic gesture. She didn’t want to send them away, but Maria needed to keep her promise to her grandfather, and that was a promise she intended to keep, especially to keep Shadow from ever using them at all.“Seven Rings in Hand,” she continued, voice echoing in a near ghostly manner, “Speed through nights, with your great Ancient powers hidden away, from the forces of darkness and evil. When the time comes, awaken, but only when a force for good is detected. Only use your Ancient powers for the good of this planet, and never for evil. Only the pure of heart can use that energy, and if they are trustworthy, then they will be earned with your great power and protect you with all of their heart and wisdom.” The seven rings heard her every word almost telepathically, as they all turned into bright white rings, ready to be sent into wherever Maria wanted them to be hidden away from on the whole island. With a final gaze to the rings, Maria made the final command. “Seven Chaos Rings…” she commanded, clenching her fists before throwing her arms out wide, “Separate and remain hidden!” With this command said, Maria telephonically gestured with her hands and sent the seven white spinning Chaos Rings away from her, each one of them rocketing away and leaving their respective colourful trails behind which faded away as they flew across the whole of Bygone Island and disappeared into the night sky, being hidden away at their chosen locations across the whole island that were guaranteed to block out and shield away their energy sources from ever being discovered by anyone. As her Time Break ability started to wear off, Maria watched with a tearful gaze as the seven Chaos Rings disappeared and vanished without a trace, their colour trails vanishing into thin air. “I’m sorry, grandfather,” Maria sighed sadly, a tear running down her cheek, “This was the only way to keep them safe.” With the rings all gone and nowhere to be seen, and no sign oh their chaos energies being detected at all, Maria’s Time Break power finally depleted and everything returned to normal. The rain, the fog, the thunder and lightning, and the sounds of the rain water pelting the grounds. But unfortunately, it also meant that Shadow was back to running at fast speeds too. And before Maria could even react, she was suddenly at the throat by Shadow’s iron fisted grip and as he took one step forward, then he managed to stop himself just short of the cliff edge, and he took two steps back to plant his feet firmly on the ground.Maria, meanwhile, was being held directly over the edge with her feet suspended off the ground and her legs dangling from being in mid air, as she was gasping for breath given she wasn’t prepared for his hand to grab her by there. All Maria could do was stare down Shadow’s evil eyes as he furiously stared back at her, intent on getting the rings… which of course, were no longer with Maria. And once Shadow noticed that the Chaos Rings weren’t there anymore, he immediately turned hostile and shouted at the hedgehog girl, tightening his grip on her throat. “Where are the Chaos Rings?!” He asked angrily, “I demand to know what exactly you have done with them! What did you do?!” With her throat being squeezed tightly and with whatever limited air she had left to speak, Maria took on a brave face and stared her grandfather’s creation down one more time. Initially afraid of him, Maria was never going to let him tell her what to do. “I… I’ll never tell you, Shadow,” Maria spoke weakly, “Y-You… You don’t deserve any of their powers. If anything… ugh… y-you’re nothing… but a failed experiment!” And that last brave statement was the final nail in the coffin for Maria Robotnik. With his anger boiling over once more and his growling being audibly heard through his clenched sharp teeth, along with a loud thunderclap and a bright lightning flash accompanying the intensely frightful mood, Shadow shouted in frustration, and using his free wrist, he pulled it back and threw a fast punch at Maria, so hard in fact, that he punched her right in the chest with enough force that she couldn’t take the pain and shouted out her last loud yell, which echoed across the whole island. But her chest wasn’t the only thing to be affected so badly. Her heartbeat, as a result of the hard punch from Shadow, came to a quick sudden stop, her life and motions all ceasing within seconds and she finally closed her eyes as her head, arms and legs fell both limp and dormant. In other words, Maria Robotnik… was now dead. Shadow stared at the lifeless and motionless dead body of Maria that he held within his hand for just a few seconds longer, panting heavily in frustration at having lost the Chaos Rings thanks to her intervention in sending them away. When he couldn’t get what he wanted, the black and red hedgehog would become a furiously angry individual, someone who would never take no for an answer. “I am no failed experiment, Maria,” Shadow said, angrily, “I am… ALL of me.” Finally, Shadow released his hard grip on Maria’s throat and he let her limp motionless body fall naturally off the cliff and it disappeared into the misty rainy fog, uncertain of just what lies beyond the island within the hellish fog cloud. Rain carried on drenching Shadow’s body as another thunder and lighting clash happened above him, setting the mood for the frustrated and angered expression seen on his face. Turning away from the cliff, Shadow fixed his angered gaze upwards at the whole of Bygone Island’s mountains and jungles that seemed to stretch on for miles and miles. Wherever Maria had hidden the Chaos Rings, it was not going to be an easy job, especially given her enchanted code of keeping them from letting others sense their powers by blocking them out in their chosen hiding spots. Clenching his fists, Shadow then started walking off on his own back towards the fog. The fire ball that he had made earlier had long since been extinguished thanks to the heavy rain, but the singe marks left by the explosion remained burned into the grass. “I will find those damn SEVEN Chaos Rings,” he muttered to himself determinedly, “Even if it takes me years to do so. They can’t stay hidden forever. They will eventually be found, by force if necessary.” With this promise and goal set, Shadow disappeared completely into the rainy fog, where a faint blue light shined briefly before disappearing once again, leaving the whole of Bygone Island to fall into dead silence. As the rainstorm continued, what Shadow the Hedgehog didn’t know was that eventually, within years to come, heroes would one day rise to help keep the Chaos Rings safe from being taken and abused by his power hungry intentions. Our scene finally fades out to black, followed by one final loud booming thunder clap, seemingly fitting for the Sonic Boom universe. And the title of our story finally appeared in the blackness, fading in briefly and saying the following subtitle: Sonic Boom Superstars It then faded away, ending the chapter. End of the Prologue...

Old Contests
Sonic Boom Superstars - Part One - Art Contest Sonic Boom Superstars - Part OneOpening Prologue + Chapters 1 to 20Art Competition,Logo made by @TheMythicRai Greetings, Fellow Decepticons! After some time and motivation, as well as writing several chapters worth of my slowly growing ‘Sonic Boom Superstars story, I felt that since the first half of the story is now completed, with Part One being from the ‘Opening Prologue + Chapters 1 to 20’, it would be a good time to host and open up an exciting art competition based on the Sonic Boom incarnation of perhaps my second favourite Classic Sonic styled game in the series, with Sonic 3&K being the first favourite of course, lol. Anyway, what’s the objective and theme of this contest?To draw characters, scenes and moments in the first part of the potentially 40 chapter long story, with scenes from the Opening Prologue and Chapters 1 through 20. In case you need references and descriptions of each scene, you can read and view the first part of the story and its chapters in this folder here: https://www.deviantart.com/tailsfan2022/gallery/89774253/sonic-boom-superstars If you wish to join, leave a comment and I’ll add you on the participants list below this journal with an @ symbol. Here is the List: You can choose any scene and character from the story that you wish to draw, so long as it’s follows the description of each scene that’s been written. Both Digital and Traditional art work entries are fully welcome to be used, but please DON’T use bases, as in my opinion, I don’t consider them to be ‘art’. Draw all characters shown in their Sonic Boom style and appearances. I’ve even taken the generous liberty of creating Trip and Maria’s Boom designs to lend you all a helping hand. They will be shown below the journal. If possible, you can also draw Eggman’s robots seen in the story, but if you can’t, then don’t worry about it. I know what it’s like to draw robots, and believe me, it is painfully hard… Any NSFW content is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. While there are some violent moments in the story, adding a little bit of bloody cuts and bruises won’t hurt to add onto your entry for the violent parts of certain scenes. When you finish your entry, post it on your page, then send a link of the entry into the comments box below this journal, and I’ll put it on display in the ‘Completed Entires’ section down below. SFW Inflation is a must requirement for drawing scenes related to Amy in Chapters 11 and 12, as well as Sticks in Chapters 18 and 20. While I normally wouldn’t include this theme into an art contest, on this one occasion, since there is a bit of cartoony inflation involved in these chapters, they must be included to these two characters, as described in the chapters. But please do not, and I mean NOT draw anything NSFW related in these scenes, otherwise you will be given a disqualification. This is a clean and friendly art contest, we don’t want anything gross or inappropriate to be shown at all. NSFW is strictly banned. I’ve also drawn Amy and Sticks’ balloon puffball designs in advance. In chapter 11, Amy gets inflated by Sticks with a stolen bike pump, and in chapter 18, Sticks gets puff kissed inflated by Amy. However, if you wish to draw scenes before the inflation ones as an alternative compromise, then you are welcome to do that, just in case you’re not comfortable with drawing inflation. I do support and respect those who dislike it, and I only wrote those scenes for good clean fun comical moments. Inflatable Coat Tails is a requirement too, but unlike the above examples, it’s only his coat and trousers that are inflated, not his actual body. Reference picture will be listed down below. All scenes chosen must be drawn in as close to detail as possible to the original scene that you wish to draw. It doesn’t have to be spot on accurate, as I’m not a nitpicking perfectionist like Stanley Kubrick, but it must follow the source material as close as possible. Shadow the Hedgehog must be taken seriously. His scenes have absolutely no humour, jokes, goofy stuff or stupid things. Given he’s the true main antagonist of the story, it’s vitally important that you treat him as a serious villain. The Characters that can be drawn are: Sonic the Hedgehog Miles ‘Tails’ Prower Knuckles the EchidnaAmy RoseSticks the Badger Trip the Sungazer Maria Robotnik the Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog Dr Eggman Orbot CubotMombotMorpho Dave the Intern Willy Walrus Chameleon Tree SpyWeasel Bandits Charlie the Rat (with Mech Suit) T.W Barker Vector the Crocodile (Chapter 3 only) So, there’s a LOT to choose from between scenes and chapters, so whichever one that you choose, I’m looking forward to seeing what you draw. Here are the picture reference, including the designs for the seven Chaos Rings: The Chaos Rings: ,Dark Blue - Avatar Light Blue - Water Purple - Vision Green - IvyYellow - Time Red - Bullet Grey - Extra Maria Robotnik the Hedgehog: ,Trip the Sungazer - This incarnation of her includes flying lizard wings associated with the Draco lizard, making Trip a hybrid cross of a Sungazer and Draco:,Inflatable Coat Tails - Featured in Chapter 6 ,Inflated Amy and Sticks— (Amy: Chapters 11 and 12, Sticks: Chapters 18 and 20),,,Once again, you have the option to draw these or not, there is no forced action, but they are part of the story. At least, in Part One, anyways. Now, as for prizes, due to having no points at all this time around, and because I don’t ever use PayPal at all, for personally private and strict security reasons, I can offer you guys hand drawn pictures of Sonic characters, both canon and OCs, with colours and lining. Please forgive me for my lack of exciting prizes.Prizes: 1st Place - Three fully coloured drawings of Sonic characters, or OCs, of your choice, all with coloured pencils, lining and backgrounds.2nd Place - Three fully coloured drawings of Sonic canon characters or OCs of your choice, with colours and lining, without backgrounds.3rd Place - Two fully coloured drawings of Sonic canon character or OCs of your choice, with coloured pencils, but without lining and backgrounds. 4th Place - Two fully lined Sonic characters of your choice, but without colours and backgrounds.5th Place - One sketched Sonic character or OC, without lining, colours and backgrounds. … Contest will start from today: Saturday 9th March, 2024The deadline to submit your entries will be: Sunday 9th June, 2024You’ve got three months to draw and submit your entries, so plenty of time! ^^ When you’re finished, post your entry in the comments box with the words ‘SUPERSTARS’, and I’ll tick you off as completed.Good luck!

I can seem to move things from the 'featured' folder to other folders, or am I not allowed to:?

I may have asked this before, but refresh my memory: is it all right to submit to Featured, since it's the only available folder? (And you guys just move the pictures to the correct folder later?)

If you want to have all folders available, but don't know how, I know how to fix it in the settings.
If you're keeping it this way because people submit to the wrong folders anyway, I fully understand. ^^;

I'm sorry, I tried to submit this [link] directly to the 'mario related' folder but it wouldn't let me, so I had to submit to 'featured' instead.
