Sonic Boom! Agent Stone AU (pt.1)
(This is kind of an outline thing for the fic I plan on writing in the future btw!!)
Chapter 1 posted!
•On one random Tuesday, a coffee shop named "The Mean Bean" appeared in the middle of town, with no construction and no posters for the place, as if it fell from the sky.
•It probably did since it's sonic boom and all.
•Sonic and friends had different opinions on the place, but all of them went in anyway.
•Sonic thought he wasn't really a coffee guy but it wouldn't hurt to try something new.
•Amy admired how beautiful and modern the place looked, unlike the rest of the establishments in their formerly unnamed village.
•Tails questioned how they had managed to construct a cafe that quickly without anyone noticing.
•Knuckles wondered why this bean shop smelled like coffee.
•Sticks, however...had her theories.
•Upon laying her eyes on the establishment, she started coming up with 50 theories per second; her friends dismissed her to get the plot going.
•Sticks's suspicions didn't subside one bit once entered the shop and made eye contact with a grinning barista with the name tag "Stone"
•What really got Sticks paranoid is how nice and friendly the barista was, and how he was the only person working there.
•Stone served them and said their orders were "on the house"
•Sticks refused to order anything, claiming it was a trap and the food had microchips in it to read the villager's thoughts and know the village's most crucial secrets.
•Right in the middle of Stick's yap session, Eggman initiated a very well-timed attack.
•Cut to Shoujo vision-eyed Stone laying his eyes for the very first time on the village's one and only villain (or the only one that matters)
•He quickly snapped out of it, adjusted his clothes, and cleared his throat, then walked out of his coffee shop to greet the villain.
•He had politely asked Eggman to take the fight somewhere further away from his coffee shop and Eggman surprisingly obliged (not without blowing up in Stone's face ofc) (Stone didn't look like he minded) (He actually looked even more love-struck) (weirdo)
•The fight ended, and the gang went back to the coffee shop, where Stone inquired about the evil doctor who almost blew up his shop.
•That was Stick's last straw; she started screaming about how Stone was a government agent who would doom the entire village if they didn't stop him.
•She ran out screaming when her friends still didn't believe her.
•Girl, get better friends.
•She figured that if she was going to foil the evil government agent's plans she needed someone else helping her, another pair of eyes to look out for the village if the government agent decided that she was an obstacle in his way and kidnaps her to a work in a secret underground trees-that-are- actually-spy-cameras-factory.
•And that's when she found Shadow in a cave that he definitely doesn't live in.
•He reluctantly agreed to help her because he was also suspicious about that guy, not that he cared about the village but he didn't like being oblivious about evil happening on his turf.
•He didn't believe stick's microchipped food theory, but Stone being a government agent didn't seem too far off for him...
•They both had their separate attempts at getting answers out of Stone.
•First was Sticks, she set up a trap.
•ofc Stone fell for it because how else would the story progress.
•She interrogated him as he was upside down hanging from a tree outside her home.
•He denied all claims and feigned innocence, claiming he was just a barista that came from far far away to simply serve people happiness in the form of coffee.
•She opted for more efficient interrogation techniques, she turned around and entered her home to..grab a feather and tickle him idfk
•Once she returned outside she saw the net was burnt to crisp and the human was nowhere to be found.
•Now she's sure she's not paranoid.
•She reported her findings to Shadow.
•Now it was Shadow's turn, seeing how Stone definitely had some special equipment/weapons on him the idea of there being microchips in the food didn't seem too uncanny.
•Shadow showed up to The Mean Bean, Sticks intently staring at him from behind the glass doors (creeping everyone in the shop out)
•Shadow thought he shouldn't interrogate him as that would end up as fruitful as Stick's efforts.
•Instead he chose to just behave as a normal customer, he was the ultimate life form after all, if there was something odd about the food then he'd know (I'm pulling this shit outta my ass okay)
•Just like the badger had described him "Very sweet with an evil aura", and something about trees.
•Stone felt somewhat nervous/awkward towards the hedgehog, so far all his customers were either stupid or friendly excluding the badger that kidnapped him because she wasn't a customer at all)
•The Hedgehog chose a cat muffin, glaring at stone the entire time.
•That was the best goddamn muffin he has ever had in his life.
•He slammed the money on the counter and returned back to a very distraught badger.
•"ARE YOU OKAY?! ARE THE RADIATIONS GETTING TO YOUR BRAIN?! ARE YOU BRAINWASHED?! DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR TRAGIC BACKSTORY?! DID THE MUFFIN DO SOMETHING TO YOU?!"
"Raspberry jam..."
"huh?"
