me when i FUCKING DIE guess who made a sonic au (my pokemon hyperfixation wanes in the presence of sonic t hedgehog)

maaaaaybe eldritch horror and becoming urecognizable from who you once were :)

This AU is titled "Chaotic Consequences".

In history, the great heroes of Mobius in the past only used 1 or 2 chaos emeralds, since using more of them is dangerous due to their raw power. Sonic, however, in a desperate attempt to save his friends from evil, uses all 7 of the chaos emerald, which may have been a grave mistake of him. Instead of being released at scattered like they would in canon, they stay within him and start to change him. He becomes more dragon like, resembling the deities that the chaos emeralds spawned from so long ago. He cannot speak in English anymore and talks in a long extinct language that not even Tails can properly translate. And slowly, over time, he grows more and more in size, walking across the earth taller than the skyscrapers. Maybe one day he'll outgrow the planet...

He wasn't always this large, though. After using the chaos emeralds he didn't immediately change. He was literally normal Sonic like 2 days after using them. Then afterwards did he get sillay... His fur started to grow out and become unmanageable, having to get constant haircuts for it. Then, it was his face becoming longer. It was an overnight change when he was serpent all of a sudden, now speaking in the chirps and howls of the unknown language.

The scariest part is that he's still Sonic. Hero of Mobius, still trying to save everyone from evil. And he has! Multiple times! But the inability to make any connection to people other than those who remembered him from the echo of his past self makes him agonized with grief for what he lost.

Some cool ideas though! Like Tails flying with the Tornado up to him and (when he's big enough) landing it on him to chat with what's been going on with his life and everyone else. It's always nice for Sonic to hear what he's missed since he can't be there anymore. Saddest part about this AU is that Sonic is going to outlive his friends and family. The name "Sonic" will remain as only a memory as people slowly start to call him "Guardian of Mobius". Hopefully his friends and family can keep his old memory alive...

HRGGGG okay potential design for CC Sonic GO He's very much a serpent like dragon, almost mystical and ancient looking. His quills trail behind him like smoke when he's bigger. He's very light blue, with people sometimes confusing him as a part of the sky or a weirdly shaped cloud. Hedgehog gets lost in translation over time as he's just a beeg dragon now. I wrote this all out simply because it was stuck in brain and brain spun in around in my head while holding me at gunpoint. Heehee!!
