History FanFic / SonicXDarkChaos

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Beelzebub. In episode 67, he kidnaps Cosmo specifically because he knew Tails would go after her. And then he deliberately makes Tails angry so he can study the resulting effects of Tails' Shroud infection. He also [[spoiler: reactivates the Galaxy Crusher to destroy the entire galaxy from a safe distance and KillEmAll]] in order to end the war. Maledict is [[EvenEvilHasStandards not amused]] when he finds out.

** And then as Dark Tails begins spreading Dark Chaos Energy across the galaxy, Beelzebub realizes that trying to defeat Sonic and the Metarex directly is becoming more trouble than it's worth. What does he intend to do about it? [[spoiler: Destroy the entire galaxy from a safe distance and KillEmAll]]. Maledict is [[EvenEvilHasStandards not amused]] when he finds out.
* '''DarkerAndEdgier''': The third season of Sonic X was dark on its own, and this fic takes it [[UpToEleven Up To Eleven]]. Much of the galaxy is in ruins, torn about by civil war and malevolent gods. Numerous characters die and there is loads of graphic violence.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: [[NayTheist Deliberate]], according to the author. The Muslims of the Angel Federation are essentially every single Islamophobic stereotype turned UpToEleven, and the Angels themselves - including Jesus - are willing to commit wholesale genocide on Demon subjects out of simple hatred and self-righteousness.

And from there, then things get [[FromBadToWorse worse]]. [[DarkerAndEdgier Much]], ''[[CrapsackWorld much]]'' [[CosmicHorrorStory worse]].

* MoodWhiplash: All over the place, but most notable in Episode 65. The chapter ends with a romantic scene between Cosmo and Tails - and then it cuts to [[spoiler: Jesus launching the Angel invasion of the galaxy]].

* Live on a planet controlled by the Demon Empire? If the Angels attack your world, they exterminate you and the entire population outright simply because you're "living in sin" according to them.

Sonic and his friends find themselves in a galaxy engulfed in tyranny and civil war between an [[TheEmpire enormous empire]] of [[TheLegionsofHell demons]] led by [[{{Satan}} Lord Maledict]] and the [[PlantAliens Metarex]], and threatened by invasion from the ancient enemies of the Demons, the [[TheFederation Angel Federation]].

But as Sonic and friends soon discover, there are [[EldritchAbomination far greater horrors]] than mere demons and angels beyond the void.

The third season of ''SonicX'', but entirely rewritten and remade.

Our heroes go into space to stop this new enemy.

They rapidly find themselves caught in an intergalactic war between an [[TheEmpire enormous empire]] of [[TheLegionsofHell demons]] led by [[{{Satan}} Lord Maledict]] and the Metarex. [[FromBadtoWorse Things rapidly spiral out of control]] for Sonic and friends as secrets are revealed and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters even more friends and foes]] enter the fray. And there are [[EldritchAbomination far greater horrors]] than mere demons beyond the void.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Sonic and his friends go off into space expecting to find their Planet Egg, beat up Tsali and the bad guys, and return home as heroes. They don't realize [[CosmicHorrorStory the kind of tale]] they're ''really'' in until much later.

* CurbstompBattle: The battle between Maledict and Hyper Sonic/Hyper Shadow/Ultra Tails in Episode 64 ends up being one of these. Even in their most powerful forms, the heroes are unable to harm the Devil at all.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Tails]] is dead, but [[spoiler: Dark Tails]] is defeated and the universe is saved. Maledict pardons the Metarex and [[spoiler:Tsali]] as well, ending the war. [[TheStinger And then]] [[spoiler: [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the Forerunners return]]]]...

* DoorStopper: A minor one.

* [[spoiler: [[LukeIAmYourFather Sonic I Am Your Father]]]]: [[spoiler: Maledict created numerous "Ultimate" creatures to find a way to defeat the Angels. His first attempt resulted in Shadow, but when Gerald Robotnik discovered Maledict's [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt true plan]] he attempted to sabotage the project. After the ARK incident, Maledict abandoned Project Shadow completely and began Project Sonic, resulting in the birth of Sonic the Hedgehog. However, after discovering that the hedgehog only inherited the Devil's super speed, Maledict - fond of his failed creation - shot the infant Sonic in a capsule to Mobius, deciding to [[PetTheDog spare Sonic's life and allow him to make his own future]]. He decided to use Tsali as his next subject instead of a hedgehog, kicking off the events of the story.]]

* '''DarkerAndEdgier''': The third season of Sonic X was dark on its own, and this fic takes it [[UpToEleven Up To Eleven]]. Much of the galaxy is in ruins, torn about by civil war and malevolent gods. It gets grim to the point it could charitably be described as a LighterAndSofter Sonic version of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''.

They rapidly find themselves caught in an intergalactic war between an [[TheEmpire enormous oppressive empire]] of [[TheLegionsofHell demons]] led by [[{{Satan}} Lord Maledict]] and the Metarex. [[FromBadtoWorse Things rapidly spiral out of control]] for Sonic and friends as secrets are revealed and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters even more friends and foes]] enter the fray. And there are [[EldritchAbomination far greater horrors]] than mere demons beyond the void. Let's just say it's called Dark Chaos [[DarkerAndEdgier for a reason.]]

** The Milky Way is such a CrapsackWorld by the end of the series that [[spoiler: Beelzebub gets completely fed up and eventually decides to activate the ''Galaxy Crusher'' to wipe the slate clean]].

* DemotedToExtra: The Metarex are just one of the many different factions fighting over the galaxy. The Chaotix, Dr. Eggman, and even Sonic himself are hit badly with this, although the rewrite is adding many more scenes with them.

* ForeverWar: Exaggerated with the conflict between the Demon Empire and Angel Federation. It's actually called the Eternal War in-universe. It has lasted for [[TimeAbyss five hundred trillion years]]. It has explicitly gone on for so long that even the gods have become weary of the fighting.

* RuleOfCool: Epic ship duels, space demons, zombies, guitars that can destroy spaceships...

** Tails is the biggest recipient of badass levels, to the point where he quickly enters [[MarySue Mary Sue]] territory with all the transformations and powers he gains over the course of the series. Not only does he command the Blue Typhoon, he gains control over Chaos powers as well.

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Deliberate, according to the author. The Muslims of the Angel Federation are essentially every single Islamophobic stereotype turned UpToEleven, and the Angels themselves - including Jesus - are willing to commit wholesale genocide on Demon subjects out of simple hatred and self-righteousness.

* TheEmpire: The Demon Empire rules half of the entire universe; in the distant past, it ruled ''all'' of it. Bloated and autocratic, it is nonetheless the main governing body of the setting. The Milky Way lays on its frontier. It's not [[HegemonicEmpire entirely evil either]].

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Maledict, in many more ways than one. He's willing to unleash horrific atrocities upon millions to keep peace in the Demon Empire and stop the Metarex uprising. Many of the Angels [[GrayAndGrayMorality are not much better]].

* DemotedToExtra: The Metarex are just one of the many different factions fighting over the galaxy.

* ShooOutTheClowns: The Chaotix get ''much'' less screen time than they did in the original. Eggman too, to a lesser extent.
