History FanFic / TheCRONIES

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Strewn around. The first villain they come across? [[ComicBook/ArchieComics Archie Andrews]], and he was merely just stealing a bank. The second antagonist? [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth.]] That's a major jump up from a geeky ginger teenager. But then when you follow it up after with [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Tomoyo Daidouji]] manipulating the Eggman Empire, the Cronies' bizarro counterparts, and [[UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch Mr. Game and Watch]] shortly after, you'll think "How the [[CurseCutShort 'EFF']] did Sephiroth lose to Sonic and friends?"

** [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic The Tuatha de Danaan,]] a high-tech submarine, has a ''secret airship mode'' utilized by Tessa Testarossa as a plan to [[MurderTheHypotenuse get rid of Kaname.]] She was convinced by Gauron to do it, though.

** Don't mention Eggman's name (or BE Eggman) in front of [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Tomoyo Daidouji]], [[VideoGame/TalesOfEternia Farah Oersted]], [[VideoGame/RivalSchools Daigo Kazama]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]], and many others.

* HeroesUnlimited: The Associates, consisting of [[TheLeader Sephiroth]], [[TheHeart Sailor Mercury]] (cementing her HeelFaceTurn), [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Shiki Tohno]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Sousuke]] [[CrazyPrepared Sagara]], [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Xellos]], VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}, and [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Captain Placeholder]]

[[http://thewrightway.deviantart.com/gallery/30693738 The CRONIES]] is a fanfiction series that takes place primarily in the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic universe]]. Written formally by a trio of fanfic writers called "The Triple Peeps", this tale was originally meant to be a '"Friends"' parody, hence why the title card looks like that.

- [[http://mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/73726/237238#fic_c Sonic Iron Chef!]] ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. [[CookingDuel Sonic and Shadow challenge two of the original]] [[Series/IronChef Iron Chefs]]. The commercials were food related, and was also the starting point of [[VideoGame/TalesOfEternia Farah Oersted]]'s unerring hatred towards Eggman. Takes place somewhere before Eggman Adventures 3.

* BadassBystander: Hungry Phil, a hobo whose face we never really get to see. He especially proved his worth as both an Eggman Death-General, and with his HeroicSacrifice as he fought the horde of Anime/{{Hamtaro}} hamsters. He reappeared in an Eggman Adventures 4 commercial. Yes, he had an extra life.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Knuckles and Rouge, played with since their initial encounters from Sonic Adventure 2. And the way they insult each other/going into random make-out sessions put this easily into WillTheyOrWontThey territory. But in the end, Rouge doesn't really want any of that, and Knuckles doesn't get the hint...

* BizarroUniverse: "The Inter-Companions" feel like this to the Cronies. Because of their kindness, they even make Amy defect from the Cronies... until she discovers their twisted tendencies and [[LawfulEvil they decide that the world isn't worth saving]]...

** Cream saying that Amy used to be so much nicer, before Sega magically aged her 4 years for VideoGame/SonicAdventure.

* EraSpecificPersonality: ComicBook/{{Magneto}} turns up in his relatively ridiculous incarnation from WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1978.

--> '''Knuckles''': Build us a "Cro-shuttle", stat!
--> '''Tails''': Give me twenty minutes!
--> '''Blaze''': [[FlatWhat Twenty minutes?]]
--> '''Sonic''': He's giving us the worst-case scenario. He'll probably be done in five.

* ILied: Played with. Genis and Lloyd, sensing that Raine was coming for them, told outrageous half-truths to Captain Falcon to dehumanize her, like teaching in a one-room schoolhouse, continuously slapping the both of them, [[BlatantLies beating Lloyd to the point that his digestive tract doesn't work properly]], and [[BrotherSisterIncest even going as far as saying that Genis was molested many times by her]], [[CrossesTheLineTwice especially to Lloyd's surprise.]] After Captain Falcon saves the both of them from Raine, Genis is surprised to hear that she really DID molest Genis at least twice, while he was sleeping. Lloyd believes it's Karma using his voodoo powers to punish Genis for lying to Captain Falcon. [[HeroicBSOD Genis, however...]]

--> '''Tails:''' Oops, sorry! I certainly didn't want to insult our readers' intelligence.
--> '''Knuckles:''' Yeah, [[TakeThatAudience all two of them!]]
--> '''Shadow:''' Dude, fourth wall!
--> '''Knuckles:''' KNUCKLES CLIMBS '''ALL WALLS!''' '''''ESPECIALLY''''' THE FOURTH!

--> '''Eggman:''' And why the hell am '''I''' not the main feature in this final chapter?
--> '''Sonic:''' CUZ YOU'RE ALWAYS MOOCHING OFF OF US IN THE CRONIES CHAPTERS!!
--> '''Eggman:''' '''I'M HILARIOUS!!'''

* SeinfeldianConversation: When the first chapter alone begins with Sonic and Shadow arguing about the ending to the second Manga/CardcaptorSakura film before segueing into Sonic asking Shadow how exactly does he know what Eggman tastes like, you should expect these kinds of conversations ''a lot''.

--> '''Knuckles''': Oh, fuck you, Tails, you're a pre-recorded image!
--> (Suddenly, a tiny laser is emitted from the magazine to Knuckles's head. Knuckles's eyes roll back and he falls to the floor, convulsing.)
--> '''Shadow''': '''Cool!''' I want one of those!

** Theory of a Deadman, to [[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Dormammu.]]

* TimeParadox: Silver's ill-fated attempt to rid the world of VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 leads Tails to try to explain the concept, with little success.

--> '''Sephiroth''': In my world, I was the main antagonist. I died. Just think about this: if you're evil, you don't want to die! So I said to myself, "Fuck it, I'm leaving!"

* HeroesUnlimited: The Associates, consisting of [[TheLeader Sephiroth]], [[TheChick Sailor Mercury]] (cementing her HeelFaceTurn), [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Shiki Tohno]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Sousuke]] [[CrazyPrepared Sagara]], [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Xellos]], VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}, and [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Captain Placeholder]]

* NamesTheSame: The faceless Scottish cameraman for Eggman, Bob, is not the same as [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} a certain blond and rotund martial artist...]]

** [[StreetFighter Akuma]] has Davis. Everything he does annoys him, but he won't let anyone else kill Davis...

- [[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/73728/237243#fic_c The Davis and Akuma Chronicles]] This one-shot story takes place after the events of Eggman on Ice, and during [[spoiler:the "Eggman betrays the gang and Shadow and Rouge were in on it all along, just so they could abduct Tails"]] arc, a.k.a. after Cronies 9. A day in the life of [[BloodKnight "The Master of the Fist",]] [[StreetFighter Akuma]] and happy-go-lucky Digidestined, [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Davis Motomiya]].

* CourtroomAntic: Sol turns up to pull ''several'' in one chapter. Possibly just to screw with the judge, who happens to be his main rival.

* CallingYourAttacks

* [[EldritchAbomination Culinary Abomination]]: "[[DeepFriedWhatever The Deep-Fried]] [[MountainOfFood Mountain]] [[AwesomeMcCoolName O' Stuff.]]" VideoGame/{{Diablo}} [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth broke a tooth eating some of it.]]

* BizarroUniverse: "The Inter-Companions" feel like this to the Cronies. Because of their kindness, they even make Amy defect from the Cronies... until she discovers their twisted tendencies and [[LawfulEvil they decide]] [[BitchInSheepsClothing that the world]] [[KillThemAll isn't worth saving]]...

* GadgeteerGenius: Tails, as per his nature, but taken UpToEleven. All of his vehicles, he's created in spans of either twenty minutes, to the latest of a sleepless night.

* HeroesUnlimited: The Associates, consisting of [[TheLeader Sephiroth]], [[TheChick Sailor Mercury]] (cementing her HeelFaceTurn), [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Shiki]] [[KnifeNut Tohno]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Sousuke]] [[CrazyPrepared Sagara]], [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Xellos]], VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}, and [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Captain Placeholder]]

- [[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/73727/237239#fic_c Eggman... on ICE!!!]] Eggman decides one day to make a skating version of his life story, and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters EVERYONE'S]] [[MegaCrossover INVITED TO WATCH!!]] WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong? Takes place somewhere before Cronies 7.

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* [[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_ch.php/73727/237239#fic_c Eggman...]] OnIce!!

* AlternateUniverse

* BigDamnHeroes: There are a few times that this trope gets invoked.

* ClusterFBomb / PrecisionFStrike / AtomicFBomb: Characters are not shy when it comes to swears...

* CoolTeacher: In his own, CloudCuckoolander way, Captain Falcon is very much this. Also a BadassTeacher.

* EldritchAbomination / FromNobodyToNightmare: SIX FISH. Thanks to Gauron throwing an intact plastic six-pack holder into the ocean, six normal fish get tangled up inside it. They then [[TookALevelInBadass start working in tandem to terrorize the sea and eat sharks...]] [[BodyHorror Now they're a six-headed, serpentine sea horror]], its former shackles now a monstrous collar.

* [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Everyone Can Breathe In Space]]

* TheFaceless: Bob (Eggman's Scottish Cameraman), and Hungry Phil.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Dr. Eggman
* FiveManBand: A little difficult with six/seven, but it is doable.
** TheHero: Sonic
** TheLancer: Shadow
** TheSmartGuy: Tails (oh, so, very, much!)
** TheBigGuy: Knuckles
** TheChick: Amy Rose (for kidnapping purposes; she is NOT the heart of the group...)
** ActionGirl: Rouge, Blaze (also the SixthRanger as of TRY), and Amy (when she's not kidnapped)

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* MegaCrossover

* NonSequitur

* PowerTrio / ComicTrio / TerribleTrio: Eggman, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]], and [[Manga/ExcelSaga Il Palazzo]], whenever they team up. Eggman usually comes up with his villainous plans, Il Palazzo calls out the flaws, and Bowser's in the middle of either agreeing with Eggman, or siding with Il Palazzo (although the three of them are pretty much even with each other). They are quite a dangerous trio when they get their gamefaces on, though. Eggman's the MadScientist with [[MoreDakka a lot of guns]]; Bowser's TheBrute and has his vast minions and fire powers. And Il Palazzo retains his subtle badass stylings as he uses magic and guns. And since they were friends since high school, the three of them pretty much get each other. All three of them have also, at times, reduced themselves to being bumbling idiots who go off tangent.
** PowerTrio: Sonic (speed), Tails (flight and brains), Knuckles (brawn)
** TerribleTrio: The heads of the Axis of Evil: [[spoiler:Eggboy, [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Xemnas]], and the head of TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} himself, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Moneybags]]...]]

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Knuckles and Shadow.
* SeinfeldianConversation

* ShoutOut / {{Homage}}: So, so, SO many to count, especially from games, anime, and other various sources. Three chapters alone are a tribute to ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline''.

* [[MonsterOfTheWeek Villain of the Week]] / RoguesGallery: Every episode or two-parter has a central villain of the episode, unless it involves the BigBad.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Sailor Mercury's is mocked by Rouge, who [[{{Stripperiffic}} is hardly one to talk.]]
--> '''Sailor Mercury''': Oh, I'M indecent, Ms. "heart-shaped barely large enough halter top?"
--> '''Rouge''' (gasps): You bitch!

* JumpRopeAntics: This was a running gag in the early chapters, where Dr. Eggman skips rope while singing 'slightly modified' children's jump rope songs. With painful results.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Strewn around. The first villain they come across? [[Franchise/ArchieComics Archie Andrews]], and he was merely just stealing a bank. The second antagonist? [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth.]] That's a major jump up from a geeky ginger teenager. But then when you follow it up after with [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Tomoyo Daidouji]] manipulating the Eggman Empire, the Cronies' bizarro counterparts, and [[UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch Mr. Game and Watch]] shortly after, you'll think "How the [[CurseCutShort 'EFF']] did Sephiroth lose to Sonic and friends?"
