[Fractured Empire Vanilla au]
° One too many kidnappings
A bit after the events of Sonic advance 2, the Doctor decided to capture Vanilla and Cream again. Being a bit more discreet about it. But Vanilla was prepared this time. Hiding some hairpins in her dress and fur.
While Sonic was occupied by fighting Metal Sonic. Eggman took Cream and put the bunny inside of a new badnik. Vanilla tried to free herself in time but unfortunately she didn't know she was too late. However, she knew what to do. While Eggman was distracted by the screen. She picked up a nearby pipe from its workshop and jumped high before striking him hard on the head. She wouldn't stop until he wasn't moving anymore. She found an Eggman outfit and put the top on. With the cycle broken, she would need to keep it going for a few more rounds.
Shadow was the first on the scene after the act. After a chaos control, he ended up right in front of Eggman's corpse and a bloodied crying mother rabbit holding her daughter. Being the most experienced in grief, he had to help Vanilla come to terms. Even if he would witness her desperation first hand.
Unknowingly from the Doctor, Tails had managed to access the cameras and saw what had unfolded. Being pretty shaken up. He couldn't say to Sonic what had happened for now.
Vanilla tried to bring her daughter back by any means necessary but unfortunately, it didn't work. Robotisation needed a living being and there was no way she would put her daughter in a badnik. Though she did find some plans for Gemerl. Finding some scrapped parts of Metal. She had an idea. Contacting Tails via the Eggnet. Asking him for help. The fox agreed and went to the main base to help a grieving mother.
Metal had managed to stall Sonic for a while. These upgrades came in handy after all. But he wasn't receiving any more input from the doctor. So he flew back to the base. Being damaged and low on battery. He saw the corpse of the Doctor laying in the central command room with Vanilla beside him. He went for the attack but was neutralized via a shutdown command by Vanilla using a pre-recorded audio from Eggman. Metal would be sent to the repair bay with his secondary directive active being the continuation of the Eggman empire. He would later flee the base to follow the directive once he was repaired.
Vanilla wouldn't let this empire rust away. In fact, she found the very first design of the amusement park Eggman wanted to make. She would use it as her basis to reform this empire into a force of joy instead of terror. She knew that it would take time but she was determined to do it. Starting with the badniks. Freeing the animals inside and replacing them with electric motors. The animals that were already in bad condition or that couldn't walk or fly were offered to stay in their badniks.
Tails helped in the creation of Metal Cream. With inputs from Vanilla. She gave it free will and most of her personality. This probably was a bad way of coping but right now it was for the best. She made two models. A replica of Cream and a more metal shaped build to help around. She would be able to switch bodies when on a charging station. Her round extremities could hide claws. Bowties and rubans were tied to her metal body. The smaller version even got dressed in Cream's clothes.
Vanilla tailor-made the suit to fit her. Better to be presentable for what would be coming. This would have to do for now. Later versions would have a more Bordeaux color instead of the aggressive bright red of the original suit. (This is your cue for anyone to be inspired to make some designs for her! ^_^)
A rabbit badnik was made using an electric motor and basic functions. It was let loose in the world as a way to hint at a change.
With metal sonic out to reform the Eggman empire. Vanilla contacted Tails so he could gather everyone so she could break the news down to them. Making sure Sonic was away destroying unused Eggman bases. She would take over the Empire and make a giant amusement park in honor of her daughter. As well as a Chao preservation zone. Of course everyone was very sad to learn that Cream was dead. It was bittersweet to learn Eggman was dead. Omega however was quite furious this rabbit stole his kill. To make up for that, Vanilla sent his corpse to him. So he can riddle it with holes.
The original house of Vanilla and Cream was preserved. To keep everything as it was from that fateful day. Large glass panels were put all around. Only friends were allowed inside for now.
With Sonic still thinking Eggman was alive. Vanilla sent him very far to destroy peripheral bases that would then be stripped down to smelt and recycle for the amusement park project. She and Tails finished the Gemerl program. Making the improved gizoid a bodyguard for Vanilla. Copies of him were made in Cream's dress color scheme. They would become the 'home' guards. Making sure no one would interfere with the mother rabbit's plans.
° First park is open for everyone to see
The public was weary of it but since there wasn't anything nefarious, they enjoyed it! The Eggman faces had been replaced with a Vanilla icon.
