''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5722377/1/Future_Generations Future Generations]]'' is a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' fanfic written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1958023/JC303 JC303]] and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1184076/YolkaEd Yolk]], set in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the future,]] where old legends like Sonic, Knuckles, Eggman and the like have passed away, leaving only a few from the past to oversee this bright future.

The story centers around an ewe named Jillian Condit, along with her [[TrueCompanions band of friends]], and the adventures they share. Unfortunately, [[DragonAscendant Neo Metal Sonic]], resurfacing after years of being thought destroyed, boldly announces to the world that he will conquer it, already having taken over Westopolis and GreenHillZone. With not that many options, it falls to Jill and her friends to stop Metal, along with some other figures from Jill's [[DarkAndTroubledPast past...]]

!!Character tropes found in this work:
* ActionGirl: She may not look like it, but Jill knows her moves. Others include Natal, Queen and Callous.
* BadassAdorable: Jack, Ani and Striker can be this when it comes to it, though Tails Doll defines this trope by far.
* BadassBookworm: Calculate the Monkey, while seemingly a bookish type, knows his moves, [[spoiler:especially after his cybernetic upgrades.]]
* BadassNormal: Lock [[spoiler:the Sniper]], a bounty hunter using nothing but [[GunFu an array of guns,]] is still capable of fighting toe-to-toe with people with superior abilities, such as Callous.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jill may be one of the nicest characters in the story; however, get her angry, and you will regret it.
** Tails Doll doesn't seem threatening in the least, does he? When [[DragonAscendant Metal]] Sonic himself admits that Tails Doll is one of Eggman's most dangerous creations, he is not exaggerating.
* BigBad: Metal Sonic was this in the beginning, but the appearances of [[spoiler:Callous and Deity have pushed him from that title.]]
* BigThinShortTrio: Team Alpha, consisting of Wiper the Cobra, Newt the Salamander, and Natal the Bullfrog, are this in spades.
* CharacterDevelopment: Many characters go through changes in their personality, but the most prominent is [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]], who goes from [[spoiler:a heartless killing machine who wants to TakeOverTheWorld]], into [[spoiler: a AntiHero of sorts, who contemplates whether or not the path he was programmed for is the right one for him to take.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Johnny is this to a T, bordering on ImplacableMan.
* EvilerThanThou: Metal Sonic's main argument for [[spoiler:training Jill]] is to impose this against Deity and Callous. [[spoiler:Or is it?]]
%%* EvilTwin: Callous is this to Jill, though not biologically...
* EvilUncle: Played with: [[spoiler:Johnny is actually Jack's uncle, though being killed, preserved and resurrected fifteen years later, he's technically just as old.]]
* GhostInTheMachine: The [[spoiler:spirit of Shadow]] decides to [[spoiler: possess a Shadow Android]], fittingly enough.
* {{Keet}}: Jack the Lion, in spite of his age.
* MusicalAssassin: The microphone on Jack's harmonica could qualify him for this, but given the [[{{Keet}} kind of person]] Jack is...
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Deity, Deity, ''Deity.'' To wit: he feeds on both Chaos Energy and life energy, not blood. The Chaos Energy he consumes is also converted into [[CastingAShadow Corruption.]] Finally, the ones he drains life energy from are suspectible to MindControl.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Buddy, Striker's Chao, counts as this, along with Tails Doll.
* TheStoic: Quite a few: Metal Sonic, Wiper, Queen, Hunter, Lock, just to name a few.

!!General tropes found in this work:
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Johnny Leoniel, thanks to a secret operation by a GUN Colonel...]]
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Part of [[spoiler:Metal Sonic's TrainingFromHell]] with Jill.
* ChromeChampion: Neo Metal Sonic, as in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', can use his powers [[ShapeShifting for a]] [[CombatTentacles couple of]] [[InstantArmor purposes.]] Unlike Sonic Heroes, however, Metal takes full advantage of it this time around.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jill hasn't exactly had the brightest past; [[spoiler:because her mother gave her the gift of [[LightTheWay Purity,]] she was haunted by a vampire called Deity Novagod, whose actions got her exiled from her village, and tormented her for months, until she [[SealedEvilInACan sealed him within a black gem...]] and then [[EvilTwin Callous]] sealed her memories about the incident, [[ForTheEvulz just for the hell of it.]]]]
** The GUN Agents weren't better off, either; [[spoiler:fifteen years ago, they were put on a hellish course, with 18 other children, fighting for survival. Towards the end, only ten were still alive... but Johnny, ordered to leave only one child apart from him alive, led to two of them being killed [[TearJerker in the most brutal ways possible.]]]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Well... [[DarkIsEvil rarely.]] There's few characters who can use Corruption who aren't evil to the core; most notably Proxy.
* DualWielding: Using his nanite-technology, Metal can turn both his arms into blades to engage in this.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Shadow, and in the flashback, Desperado.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In the GUN Agents' flashback, [[spoiler:both Bliss the Sheep and Desperado the Turtle put their lives on the line, so Johnny can be killed.]]
* MegaManning: By tapping into the data of any lifeform he's scanned, Metal Sonic can do this.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Johnny [[spoiler:absolutely ''devestates'' the GUN agents during the flashback.]]
* SingleStrokeBattle: What finishes the battle between Shadow and Metal Sonic. [[spoiler:Shadow loses.]]
%%* SuperMode: Being based in the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' universe, there should be no surprise that people can attain these.
* TrainingFromHell: What [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]] claims that he will put Jill through. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope It's not that hellish, really.]]]]
* TranquilFury: Jill goes through this during her first battle with Metal Sonic, which helps her unleash her SuperMode.
