Also, Neat for Billy Hatcher still getting made. I'm assuming that it would still be on the Gamecube?
Or would they have to do it as a Handheld game in the Handheld War?
Angst idea I got when reading the Metal Virus arc in the IDW now with Eclipse involved.
"And STAY OUT!!!" Eclipse yelled as he hit another of those 'Zombots' out the door of the restaurant.
After quickly throwing chairs and tables to barricade the door to prevent any other zombots from getting in, Eclipes leaned against the barricade panting.
"Eclipse, are…are you ok?" Lumine asked the Darkling as he looked more worn out than she had ever seen him before. The Doom Beast and the customers who weren't infected behind her looked at him with worry as well.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm...I'm…not fine Lumine, it's bad, everyone becoming those things, my restaurants trashed, and now who knows what gonna happen to us!" He shouted in frustration as he slammed a fist at the ground, causing a small crack to appear.
"…great now I'm the one trashing my restaurant," Eclipse said with a sigh as he looked down at his hands.
Looking at them he could see the virus already working up to his elbows, something he guessed he should be grateful for in this whole situation was that his body's biological seemed to make the process of turning him into a zombot to be slower than the others.
It gave him some hope that Shadow was fine out there, that he would last long enough for a cure to be found before turning, Shadow was stronger than him after all.
"Lumine, you need to go, take the Doom Beast and the other, and leave up to the rooftops. You have those airshows of yours so you can spot any zombots coming and find a safer route to get to the extraction point." He told her as he heard more Zombots making their way to the restaurant outside.
"What?! But what about you?!"
"Look, I'll be fine-" "No you won't don't lie!" Eclipse began before Lumine cut him.
"Look at me! Do you really think it's safe for me to be with you guys?! I can't touch anyone of you without infecting you and I could turn into a zombot at any moment!"
Lumine had a shocked look on her face at how he had snapped at her the Doom Beast included while the customers looked uncomfortable.
Eclipse tried to calm down as he explained further.
"Lumine…please I don't want to harm my siblings, even if it's not really me anymore it will be my body that hurts them so please get them out of here."
"…Alright, bu-but you better take care of yourself till we find a cure ok? No risking your life if you can help it."
"Hey, I'm Shadows brother too you know, you don't think I can't find a way out of trouble?" he half-joked to her.
"It's the fact your Shadow brother that has me worried about leaving you like this…"
"Hm, fair."
"Do you…do you want me to pass on a message to him if I see him?"
"…yeah tell him that he better watch his back out there, we can't do another resurrection ritual after all."
Lumine covered her mouth to stop the chuckle from coming out of her mouth.
"Eclipse!"
"I'm joking, I'm joking…tell him that he's strong but he's also smart so to be careful, that he should remember to sleep and eat proper meals when he can and that and not just eat coffee beans for every meal like a psycho, and that I...well I hope that he knows how much I care about him."
Fuck his vision was getting blurry, damn metal virus.
"Can you do that for me?"
"Yeah I can, Eclipse…goodbye," Lumine said sadly as she gestured the others to follow her, the doom beasts had tears running down their faces as they kept looking back at him till they were gone.
Eclipse rested against barricade once more before getting up and facing it, feeling the vibrations of something large coming.
"Ah Karen, finally a good excuse to punch you in the face." He said happily as the barricade broke down from the Hippo lady running into it, now standing at its opening with Zombots flowing through.
Well if this was his last stand then he better say some good last words.
"It was a wonderful life."
Hope it was good.
Figured that if Eclipse was gonna go down during the Metal virus arc it would be at his restaurant.
Now how do you guys personally think Shadow is gonna react to the fact his brother is 'gone'?

I've been reading the Mobian tactic game, and I wonder if anyone knew anything about the Felidea. I am not sure about them as a whole, but I find the concept of a culture that emphasizes uniforms/clothing as being your identity so much to be interestingly wierd.
Maybe it's time-travel? Sonic and Eggman going to the past to fight Renaissance warriors with Eggman using his future tech to dominate? They have the Time Diamonds, right?
Hey, can someone remind me what to the Halo series ITTL since the Xbox isn't a thing?
Because I want to make an omake about how Starfox turned out ITTL and I realized that the Gamecube being this timeline's "Online" console could lead to Shenanigans(tm)
Possibly a PC exclusive, and could remain a third person shooter. It might have kept the multiplayer, as it was originally cut due to Xbox live being unfinished.
Im theory crafting here, idk what anyone else referenced in side stories and the like
Welcome to EggmanLand! The jaw dropping amusement park ran by the infamous Doctor Eggman after changing his ways to the side of good, all we want here is for all our guests to have a wonderful time at the park you're all sure to enjoy. From the colourful alien mascots the Wisps, to our newly named Friendniks, and most importantly of all the wonderful zones that make up our space station and planetary park, you will be sure that you wont leave with a frown on your face (Besides the fact you're leaving EggmanLand that is). So why don't you take a read as I tell you about some of our excellent staff that help run this one of a kind park. -Excerpt from The EggmanLand Official Brochure.
Name: Clove & Cassia "The Pronghorn Sisters"
Bio: "Take one of our Egg Shuttles to fly to the beautiful and luscious Planet Wisp, the home of our lovable mascots the Wisps and take a tour with The Stoic Clove and her younger sister the rambunctious Cassia. Originally Egg Bosses, they joined the former Eggman Empire to treat Cassia as she had a severe illness that could only be cured by Eggman's Cyberization process, isn't that just touching? One of the handful of Egg Bosses that decided to go good, along with the Doctor and some of the other Egg Bosses. They were placed in charge as the Caretakers of the Wisps for their kind hearted nature and loyal and hard work ethics. Now you can meet them and our huggable and friendly Wisps during our two hour tours that happen twice a day on Planet Wisp! (Stay on the designated path to not disturb the wisps or else you will be kicked out)" -Excerpt from The EggmanLand Official Brochure.
Eggman, after finding out about the mystical Planet Wisp that orbits our galaxy and stops by Mobius every 1000 years went ahead and "Made Friends" with the wisps to spread their colourful joy to the planet after changing his ways. After Anchoring it to EggmanLand like he once did Little Planet, he put two trusted Egg Bosses Clove and Cassia in charge of the planet as caretakers (and tour guides). Are they hiding something off the beaten path of the Planet? It's up to Sonic and Tails to figure it out.
Personality:Same as before. Cassia though has made quick friends with the wisps becoming an actual caretaker to them. Clove is just happy that her sister is smiling for real for the first time since she got sick as a kid, maybe now she can live a peaceful life.
Appearance:
Notable Abilities/Talents/Stuff:
-Wisp Whisperer: Cassia has a talent for speaking to wisps and gaining their trust, though she can't speak their language she makes quick work of befriending any Wisp she encounters making her a natural born leader to the Wisps and the most beloved non-Wisp to them.
-Schmiddy: Schmiddy or Piea (Piea is probably what i'm going with) is Cassia's own personal Wisp friend, ever since meeting they haven't left each other's side unless forced to. As a green hover wisp he can imbue Cassia with the Hover Ability or even interact with her personal Wispon made by Eggman for her.
-Wispon Masters: Bestowed personalized Wispons by Eggman Clove wields a new and improved scythe that uses a Crimson Eagle wisp allowing her to slash at her opponents at a range as it propels it towards them. Cassia likes to transform with Piea she can instead send him into her new Wispon Tonfas that can be used to shoot gusts of wind from to either push her opponent or propel herself across the battlefield for a fast attack with her weapon.
Character Type: They have two roles in the game the first as NPCs, you are able to find them in both the Team Unbreakable Story at the Planet Wisp Hub world to talk to and maybe do a quest I haven't figured out yet, the Second team that have these two as NPCs is the Team Mean Bean Story as you can find them in the Eggman Hub where they work as the quest givers for the Wispon and Wisp collectable quests for the Team. Clove would give you a quest to bring her each type of Wispon, all you need to do is talk to her with each type of wispon equipped for her thoughts on the wispon and to mark that wispon as collected for the quest. Cassia has a similar type of quest but for each type of Wisps you can use as the Speedster characters.
The Second Role they have in Colors is that they are the main Eggboss Antagonists of Team Unbreakables Story (Sonic and Tails) being either the Penultimate or Final boss of their story. They would also be Major characters showing up multiple times throughout Unbreakables Story.
Name: Akhlut the Orca
Sonic Colors Bio: "The Lovable Orca in charge of the magnificent Aquarium Park, though you may be surprised to learn he is not actually a Mobian like you might think. Originally born as a standard Orca near Restop Island in the Northern Oceans of Mobius he was always envious of the Mobians and Humans ability to walk on land. One day though he was taken from the ocean by Doctor Eggman in one of his (Former) evil schemes and experiments, using his cyberization process on the Orca, combined with whale's already impressive intellect, he was able to turn a regular Orca into a sentient being like you and me. Though still denied the ability to walk, he communicated to the doctor his dream and promised to pledge his loyalty to the doctor in return for his undying loyalty, using both their genius intellects they came up with a secret way to give him the shape of a Mobian Orca when he so desires. Now he follows the Doctor on his path of good, wanting a peaceful future without the fighting, he has been put in charge of Aquarium Park a massive Aquarium (Plus Food Court and Gift Shop) filled with exciting and exotic fish, the deeper you go though the more unique tanks filled with Friendniks shaped as all sorts of aquatic creatures, one even legendary. So don't be surprised if you see a cybernetic Orca swimming through a massive tank filled with Robots, give him a wave and admire the beauty of Machine and Nature coming together" -Excerpt from The EggmanLand Official Brochure.
Character Bio:
Born in the Northern Oceans as a regular Orca, he used to spend his time near Restop Island with the rest of his pod. He had a unique gift of higher than average intellect for an orca he was able to fester his jealousy and envy for the Mobians and Humans going to and from the Island. One day he was taken from his pod and taken aboard one of his Egg Carriers, he proceeded to experiment on him in a tortuous process giving him even greater intellect, matching that of Agent Stones and the ability to speak. Using his new found speech and sapience he struck a deal with the doctor, together they would come up with a way to give him a Mobian body via technology and he would pledge undying loyalty towards the man, doing whatever he wishes.
And so Akhlut was born anew, together they figured out a way to shape his body to the size of a and shape of a Mobian, and soon he set back towards the water as an Eggboss. Quickly he took over the Northern Ocean starting with Restop Island and its residents, turning it from a rest stop for weary sailors into the base of operation for the Warlord Akhlut, his army soon grew by Mobians and Humans who only crave violence and carnage just like their leader. You would assume that his army would be prone to mutiny but you would be wrong, his men deeply respect Akhlut and swear absolute loyalty, in return he blesses them with cybernetics (Albeit worse than Eggmans) as they expand and conquer, caring for nothing but machines and perfecting themselves into something greater all while destroying those weaker. Now they have conquered a sizable chunk of the Northern Ocean dominating land and sea as they pollute the waters they call home.
Personality: A violent and bloodthirsty warlord Akhlut rules his territory with an iron fist, but don't let that deceive you beneath the carnage he inflicts is an intelligent and cunning man only a few leagues below Robotnik himself. Though he may not always agree or be happy with Eggman he is immensely loyal because of what Eggman did for him. Three things define Akhlut, Violence, Loyalty, and the craving to improve himself more. He sees technology as the way to pure strength and power, it gave him the life he has while Nature had forsaken him. This has led to his army being one of the most cyberized as he has given most of his members cybernetics himself, though they may be worse than his own this has made his army formidable and one you should not take lightly.
Appearance:
(His Outfit in Sonic Colors)
Notable Abilities/Talents/Stuff:
-Machine over Nature: Having been enhanced into his current form by technology he almost worships it as his savior, spending many nights deep in his lab trying to perfect himself even more, leading to him being more machine than man. His cybernetic body is incredibly strong and has many tricks up his sleeves.
-Shapeshifter Namesake:He has the ability to change into his Orca form or Mobian form at will.
-Ruthless Warlord: Akhluts biggest strength is his combat ability, having honed it and defeated many worthy foe's he has truly earned the right to be called an Eggboss and the title of Warlord.
Colors:
-Wispon User: Being one of Eggman's top fighters he has been bestowed a Wispon from the Doctor, using the Yello Drill Wisp in his sword he can spin it around to do devastating attacks, but if push comes to shove he can forgo the weapon and use the wisp by himself in Orca Form.
Character Type: As an Eggboss he can either be playable in an eggman focused game or be a boss or bad guy Sonic and his friends might have to face
In Colors he is in charge of Aquarium Park and is the penultimate boss Team Burning Passion (Blaze and Amy) have to face as they discover the mysteries hidden there and the reason for Marine's disappearance.
Name: Axel the Water Buffalo
Bio: "This former Eggboss has a thrilling history of high speed fun, growing up on the island of Efrika Axel wound up in a biker gang getting into all kinds of trouble, though this Water Buffalo never cared for the crime and mischief all he wanted to was ride. He eventually worked his way up to become the leader, throwing away the shady side that he grew up with to just be a group that can ride wherever they want. He spent years riding and racing the other members with any vehicle he could get his hands on, eventually finding his true calling trucks, those days came to an end when Eggman came, he gave the decree that they would have to stop riding unless they joined him. Knowing the fate of his closest friends and their dreams were on the line, Axel couldn't say no, so he joined and became an Eggboss with his former gang as his underlings. Now though, as Eggman has finally changed for the better he rides freely in his area of the park Badland Circuit, now you can ride alongside and race him if you're lucky as well. Take up one of the Go Kart tracks, or even the Extreme Gear raceway if you're feeling daring and you might have the chance to race against Axel and his Squad, just be warned though he's an expert when it comes to racing." -Excerpt from The EggmanLand Official Brochure.
Personality: A loyal Eggboss to Doctor Eggman, though more out of fear of his strength and machines than out of any other kind thoughts. Axel is a caring leader to the people under him considering them a family as most of them were people he grew up with in his gang, he would do anything to keep them safe even bowing down to someone as evil as Robotnik.
Appearance:
(Axels Design plus the Purple Wisp Redesign. I honestly prefer this to his armour so I would personally want this to be his New Design even outside of Colors. If that is the case then in Colors he will have a racing helmet too.)
Notable Abilities/Talents/Stuff:
-Radical Rider: Axel is a talented driver in almost any type of vehicle you can think of, dedicating his skills in expert movement and speed is where he shines against the rest. Be it his favourite vehicle trucks or the new high tech hover boards the extreme gear he is one of the top racers on Mobius bar a few. (He's not as skilled as Jet or Sonic)
-Tough as Nails: Axel can pack a mean punch, though his first love will always be vehicles he is an outstanding tough Boxer, especially be wary when he uses his chains on you.
-Wispon User: As one of the Eggbosses he has been bestowed a Wispon designed by Eggman, modifying a pair of gauntlets to use the Blue Cube Wisps to pack an extra punch and create platforms if needed.
Character Type: In Sonic Colors he is the Eggboss that will be the penultimate boss against Team Mean Bean, Axel has spontaneously decided to betray Eggman declaring Badland Circuit HIS, Metal Sonic and Agent Stone need to find out why and where exactly did he get a Violet Wisp to replace his blue one.
Name: Connie "The Tempest"
Bio: "The Idol who has recently taken Mobius by storm! Connie The Tempest has officially partnered up with EggmanLand to give shows almost every day in our high tech theatre/stage located at Starlight Carnival. If you somehow haven't heard of the latest sensation that is Connie here's a recap. Working as an Idol for Constellation Corporation's new Entertainment department, Connie became an overnight hit taking the hearts and ears of millions of listeners and fans in just the last few months. But don't be fooled, this bright smile has a sad past as she became an Idol because it was her late Mothers dream to be one herself, now Connie lives that dream for the both of them bringing smiles to the people of Mobius and now EggmanLand. Officially partnering with EggmanLand is Constellation Corp, their CEO Professor Starline hopes that with Connie their EggmanLand can be a success and assure people that Doctor Eggman has truly changed his ways and became a simple amusement park owner trying to bring smiles to the faces of children and adults.

-Hidden Tiger: Connie is a ferocious fighter….Huh? That doesn't seem right, did I get the wrong script or som-
Name: Conquering Storm (DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER CONNIE STILL)
Bio: The urge to kill Eggman is rising, Storm has never been this humiliated before. As an expert Ninja Eggman tasked Storm with infiltrating and going undercover in the new branch of Constellation Corp, the only way to get in though is through the only available position, as an Idol. Storm almost outright refused the only thing stopping her was Eggmans promise to cyberize more of her clan, and that Eggman assures her that if this plan of his worked, she wouldn't need to worry about defending her clan again. The Final promise made her agree, Eggman would spare her new friends and they can work under her when she goes back to her more normal life. Eggman thus worked his ways and she became the Newest Hit Idol Connie (HOW DARE THAT BASTARD USE THAT NICKNAME FOR HER!!!!). She's not actually sure what his goal is, or why she was needed to spy on this mundane Corporation for him, but no matter the reason she's pledged her loyalty to him and she can not break her honour, for the good of the clan. Now she is focused on turning Starlight Carnival into her domain, stationing her clan in disguise and reporting everything back to her. You can't step a single foot there without her knowing, as she knows all that happens.
Personality: It's Conquering Storm, but she's even more pissed off after having to be an Idol for the past few months.
Appearance:
Notable Abilities/Talents/Stuff:
-Upgraded cybernetics: For her undercover mission Eggman has planted new cybernetics in her, allowing her to be the perfect idol as she can sing and dance at an expert level.

Character Type: Conquering Storm will be the main antagonist and final boss of the Team Babylon Story as she finds out about their plan to steal the Rainbow Amethyst. Will she be successful in stopping the Babylon Rogues as she uses Storm the Albatrosses position as Head of the Connie the Tempest Fanclub to tear them apart, or is the bond between the Rogues stronger than a manipulative Idol?
"Conquering Storm? Yeah I sure hope she does." -Storm the Albatross (I don't ship this and it will not be an actual ship, I just think this is funny)
ITS DONE!!! FINALLY!!!!! (looks at the game pitch I still need to do) Oh.....
Two notes DONT ADD THIS TO THE MEDIA!!! I'mma do a second post with all my art (Plus Sketches) as soon as I can. Second I kinda did a full on proper Character Pitch for Akhlut so you can add that to the character idea board (Plus the other ones if you want as well)
Also none of these designs/outfits are permanent besides Akhluts new Cybernetics (Hands, Eyes, Chest, ext) and maybe Axels Outfit these are only for Colors.
I spent like the whole night writing these character sheets, and while I'm really happy with how they turned out I'm tired!!!! I hope nothing contradicts with the Pronghorns or Conquering Storm (Connie is a disguise that she hates) and I hope you enjoy the Art and Character Pitches!!!
Next up is the Sonic Colors Pitch!!! (When i get to it, probably taking a day break from writing)
All this delicious art is so good! Once you're done with your Colors pitch, I definitely want to get this game made. Also, I at first thought Connie was like Conquering Storm's niece or something (I can be dumb like that ), which would have been a hilarious dynamic.
......*Snort*
Hahahahahahshshshah!
Oh the woes of being a NINJA! Oh Conquering Storm I do feel for you. An IDOL of all things, I think I know an apptopriate character fo a rhytm game in the future. Cant let all that trainijg go to waste.
And a 5,6,7, 8- *Gets choked Slam by Irate Assasin*
Here is the Art and Sketches of the Eggbosses!!!! (I'm mixed honestly as I prefer the heads of the Sketches as I think my Lineart and rendering for the heads are a bit wonky compared to the sketches, though I prefer the final bodies of them all, especially Clove, and Akhlut) The only one i'm 100 percent happy with (Minus the Chains) is Axel somehow, im floored he turned out so well. Im happy with how they all turned out though!!!!
All this delicious art is so good! Once you're done with your Colors pitch, I definitely want to get this game made. Also, I at first thought Connie was like Conquering Storm's niece or something (I can be dumb like that ), which would have been a hilarious dynamic.
Thanks you!!!! To be fair I did something really weird with Conquering Storm, and it may or may not have been because of the "HATSUNE MIKEU!?!?!?!?" meme.... Honestly i'm really happy with how it all turned out. And the dynamic would be funny, but this is also funny.
NOOOOO I JUST REMEMBERED!!!! I forgot to put in the blurb in her section saying she's glad that Surge and Metal/Shard don't listen to this type of music or else they would immediatly recognize her and make fun of her nonestop. (They Would do that)
Honestly I thought about the main menu theme of Sonic Frontiers. Kinda Tranquil and Somber. I suppose it would not really apply now that I think about it. View: https://youtu.be/3tVdNfsZXXg?feature=shared
Very nice. If the Visuals for the Resistance DLC still need work in phase 3, you'll get +15 to that roll. If not, you'll get +15 to a Visuals roll in a future game of your choice.
That one person who wants to see Clove and Cassia is definitely gonna have some thoughts about Phantasm Requiem, I'm sure. You get +5 to reception for Resistance.
I believe nothing's been set in stone, though I personally think it would be very funny if Halo somehow ended up as a killer app for the Gamecube. More realistically, though, it's probably a PC exclusive.
It seems the votes are in, so it's time to roll. Order will be Functionality (+76), Mechanics (+81), Visuals (+66). So things are probably gonna go pretty well.
So I guess you've still got a bit of work to do on DLC Visuals in phase 3, but since that's also the only thing to work on, it's pretty much guaranteed to get a good roll. Those art bonuses are gonna have to wait.
