I spent too much time on a ship from an alternate dimension of a superhero world I made, but I love it still.
All characters are inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog and various video games, but they are completely original!

Boost the Badger had been through nearly every kind of danger you could imagine:
Nearly fed to ravenous piranhas while being suspended from the ceiling. Escaping the primal eyes of a world class hunter bent on claiming his head as the ultimate prize. Saving a city from a robotic invasion from Professor Benedict. Even going up against a mecha version of himself created by the mad doctor.
However, none of that even comes close to his greatest challenge yet: His own wedding.
To say Boost had cold feet was understatement. He was the fastest badger in his dimension, but when it came time for the ceremony, his paws were shaking.
He looked at himself in the mirror. Instead of his usual blazing red racing jacket, he on a sharp black tuxedo top, with a black tie and silver cufflinks. Boost looked a bit strange even to himself. His friend Boxer the Bear had mentioned it was rare for the badger to dress up.
"Come on, you can do this." He told his reflection.
But this was something he had to do. He loved Janet for years and proposing to her wasn't exactly done in a normal way. They had a bit of rocky, and pretty hilarious first meeting.
Janet was going the wrong way as she was sent on a mission to infiltrate his arch nemesis' base. Boost had happened to be on the same highway as her and just wanted to tease the lost driver. Boost in his usual cocky way, let her know the right way to go. From then on he joined her on the mission in case she needed back up, despite Janet's protests.
Neither of them knew that would be one of many meetings they would have on adventures would bring them closer. Eventually, they wanted to meet up outside of missions and became good friends. As time passed, it developed into something much more.
The badger had dated in the past, it came with being a popular hero in his home city, Blue Sky Zone. They were quick, just like himself. Always moving onto the next thing. However, something about Janet made him want to see her more than once. Perhaps it was her firey personality, or the way she handled her weapon when up against an enemy and refused to back down. Or maybe he liked the way her long, black, curly hair blew in wind during an explosion in background like an action film.
Everyday he wanted to see her, so he always found a way to visit her, or drop in the Protection Force's zone for a team up.
Janet taught him to slow down and appreciate the things around him in the present. And he's been seeing the world in a whole new way ever since. There was so much of the world he was missing, and he didn't want to miss anymore of it. Or see it alone.
After three years of dating, Boost eventually proposed to Janet using one of his famous silver dollars he used for extra power. And he asked her to go to the next level with him. That brings us to today.
Boost smacked himself slightly on the muzzle. It was ridiculous for him to be acting like this. He was Boost the Badger for pete's sake!
His friend Boxer had burst through the door, seemingly reading his mind. "Come on, bro. Janet's gonna be out there soon. You should be the last creature on Earth to get cold feet!" his deep voice boomed through the room.
Boost laughed at the bear. "Yeah, you got me there. I guess I've been nervous about all this. Boy, I'd never thought I'd say that about anything..."
Boxer scoffed as he took a handful of nearby peanuts from a bowl. "You can fight an army of mechanimals in a single afternoon, but this makes you nervous? If Benedict knew this was your weakness, he would've beaten you years ago!" He crushed the peanuts in his large claws, freeing them from their shells. Boxer then shoved them in his mouth, crunching loudly. "You better not keep her waiting, she's the only woman I've seen deal with your antics this long."
"Let's just hope that he doesn't try anything right now. The last thing we need is a wedding crasher with mecha animals." Booster laughed half-heartedly. "Well, gotta run!"
And with that, he zipped out of the room, leaving a gust of wind blowing in the room. Boxer grabbed his cap before it flew out the window. He couldn't help but chuckle at his friend. He was always one to run head first into something, but he never thought it would lead him to marriage of all things. It seems like he had the same outlook on this just like any other adventure. "Heh. Still the same Boost.... Janet better know what she's getting into with this guy."
In her own dressing room, Agent Janet Diamond was having her own nervousness about this day. Not the extent of Boost, but she certainly had jitters. She was excited to finally tie the knot, she just never dreamt it would be him. Out of all the people and all the lands in their video game melting pot world, she fell for the fastest badger alive. It surprised everyone: her team mates, family, and even herself. Considering he came off pretty annoying in the beginning.
Janet could vividly remember their first meeting. She was sent a mission to find out what dangerous chemicals were being used during Professor Benedict's new line of super charged mecha animals. This was largely outside the Protection Force's zone, but the invasion could've spread to their land quickly.
Driving there, Boost appeared almost out of nowhere on the hood of her car. While she was driving it.
He annoyed her at first by teasing her going the wrong way, but he ended up helping her get on the right track. Janet didn't want a partner on this mission, but the badger had no plans on leaving her to her work.
The two of them had worked surprisingly well together, as his quick thinking and speed complimented her battle ready additude and and long distance combat training. Together they had cleared Benidict's tower reached his main lab, but one of his henchmen triggered a trap door into a pool of laval for Janet when the two got separated. As she fell, believing she was going to meet a fiery grave she cursed herself for letting her guard down again.
She believed she could handle it all on her own. After all, her last partner (and boyfriend) left her to defender herself from a chimera laboratory collapsing in on itself. Even though he was fully capable of going back and saving her, he chose to save himself. Janet never trusted another person to be by her side. That is, until Boost had appeared like lightning, jumping into the trap after her and saved Janet's life before it was too late.
When asked why he came back, the badger replied with a grin on his fuzzy muzzle: "Leaving you behind just isn't my style." Right then and there, she fell in love with Boost the Badger.
Janet had admired his sense of justice, even with his slightly cocky attitude. He genuinely cared about the people in his city and protecting them from the robot obsessed villain. She could talk to Booster about anything, as she chatted with him for hours as they shared cheeseburgers. Exchanging stories with each other about their wild adventures prior to meeting each other. Despite him being significantly shorter than her (not that she minded), his charm and wit more than made up for his height. He could also look pretty dashing when he was running at top speed or in battle.
She wanted to see him, no matter the excuse. Even to a point where they called each other nearly everyday, even when they couldn't see each other. Despite her fellow teammates having concerns about their relationship, (which she denied she was even in for a long time) she just ignored them. Even her best friend had asked, "Out of all the people in the world, why did you have to fall for him?"
All Janet could say in response was, "I guess I wanted something new."
After they started dating, Janet grew comfortable with Boost zipping in unexpectedly. In fact, she loved when he dropped in and surprised her. It usually meant he had something exciting for the two of them, whether it was a secret adventure or taking her to a beautiful sight he had seen on his travels and wanted to show her.
She never told him, but she really look forward to the holiday season with Boost. As he grew a fluffier fur coat during the winter, it gave her an excuse to snuggle with him many times for warmth. (Not to mention he looked more rugged when said fur had grown on him)
Janet's thoughts were interrupted by her best friend, Princess Rose. "Janet, darling. Are you listening?" she asked in her light tone.
Janet shook her head to get her focus back. "Oh, sorry, Rose. My mind was somewhere else. What did you say?"
The princess was holding two rose bouquets, one red and one white. "Which color of roses would you like? They both look fabulous to me, but it is your wedding! Or did you want something else? Daisies? Violets? Or are you looking for something less common?" She was brimming with excitement over the whole event. Rose even volunteered to be the wedding planner and organize nearly everything from the venue, to the music and even wedding cake flavors. She even paid for everything with her family's fortune!
Janet was greatful for everything she had done, but there were times where she could be a bit...much. 😅
"The red ones are perfectly fine, Rose." She looked back the mirror at herself. "I guess I just feel a bit weird in this whole outfit. Heck, this whole wedding feels surreal."
Janet rarely wore different outfits. If it wasn't for an undercover mission, or when she went somewhere special with Boost, it was usually the same old uniform she has during missions. Being in a dress-a wedding dress-felt strange to her.
Princess Rose gasped. "Please don't tell me you're having second thoughts about this. I've spent five months preparing everything and it would be devastating if you chose to leave!" She said in a dramatic flare
Janet couldn't tell if she was over-reacting or being serious, it was hard to tell most of the time with her.
"No, no! Of course not! I still want to marry Boost. I just can't help but wonder what will happen to us after the wedding." Janet walked over to the window and looked outside. The 8-bit birds were flying high and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was a bit odd to feel this much safety since most of her life has been one action filled mission after the other.
"I mean, are we going to feel the same as we are now? Will we be around each other too long and start to get on each others' nerves? What if I can't protect him like he does with me?" Before meeting Boost, she wasn't much of a talker. Now she felt comfortable after countless hours talking to the speedy creature.
Rose laughed. "Oh darling! There's nothing to worry about! You can be quite determined when you want to be. While I still don't understand what you see in that badger, he makes you happy, and that's what matters. You should trust that you two will be even happier than when you first met!" She twirled around making her violet dress glide slightly up.
Janet shook her head. How did she get such crazy yet loveable friends like her? "Well, I appreciate that at least you've come around to the idea of us."
Rose put a finger to her chin as she joined Janet by the window, looking down at the gathered crowd. More specifically Boost. "Though I must admit that he his quite handsome. Those eyes of his shine like onyx gems. And that coat of fur is- "
"All right, all right. I get your point, Rose. Thank you." Janet replied with an annoyed tone. Those compliments sounded a bit too nice for her taste.
But she quickly waved it off. Janet could be stubborn sometimes, and had doubts at times about how a plan should go. But one thing was certain: She loved Boost with all her heart. Even if she couldn't say it out loud sometimes.
"Come on, I've got a wedding to get to." Janet smiled at her friend. As she headed for the door.
Suddenly, there was a large creaking sound that tore through the room, along with the floor shaking and rumbling.
The roof tore open and an army of robots dropped in and surrounded the two women, barring their mechanical claws and fangs at them.
Meanwhile outside, Boost was waiting with the rest of large cast of friends and family. Both the Bride and Groom's families were very concerned about their blooming relationship a few years back. While some still objected to it, the rest of both sides gave in protesting. However, Boost's family was a lot more open to Janet as time went on.
The speedster badger was beginning to tap his foot so quickly, his shoe looked like a blur. It was obvious that he was getting more nervous.
His younger friend Glide the Squirrel stepped on his foot to get him to stop. "Can't you stay still for more than a few seconds? I thought you were cooler than that!"
Boost grabbed his foot and made sure nothing was broken. "Yeah, yeah. I got the lecture from Box already. Look, even heroes get nervous you know. I just hope she hasn't changed her mind..."
Glide looked around and noticed that Janet and Princess Rose we're the only ones missing from the wedding. He was pretty good seeing from long distances both on land and air, but he didn't the two women anywhere. "Now that you mention it. She's taking longer than I thought. I wonder what's the hold up?"
Suddenly a dark shadow was cast over the wedding, followed by loud rumbling. Everyone looked up and saw a giant metal ship floating slowly descending from the clouds that seemingly only appeared when the ship arrived. It oddly looked like a breakfast sandwich, but despite its funny design, there was terror waiting inside.
"Aw, crap. Don't tell me he's here. Not now!" Boost growled. He knew all to well who this ship belonged too.
At the bottom of the breakfast themed ship, a much smaller egg shaped hovercraft descended from it. As it slowly got closer into view, the shell cracked open and a large rotund man with a bushy mustache burst from the shell. He had a wicked grin as he finished his dramatic entrance with a bow.
"Professor Benedict..." Boost snarled as he grit his teeth.
"HAHAHAHA! Congratulations on your wedding, my badger friend!" Professor Benedict announced with his southern accent. "But I must say I'm deeply hurt y'all didn't invite me!" he pulled out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe a tear away.
"Why would I ever invite you to my wedding?" Booster shouted at the man, clenching his fists and took a fighting stance.
"Cause I bring the most explosive gifts to every event!" The professor snapped his fingers and multiple colored packages with the words "Just Married" written on them fell from his ship.
Gilde recognized what those gifts really were. "Everyone, take cover!" He yelled as he flew a nearby kid away from the dropsite.
Everyone scattered away and screamed as the gift went off. Each one made an explosion of destructive confetti as it blew parts if the ground to smithereens.
Boost zig-zagged across the field as he grabbed as many guests as possible and saved them. He was stopped in his tracks by a mecha rooster that had his metallic red eyes set on destroying the badger.
"Oh! And I hope you don't mind that I brought some guests with me. They really wanted to join the fun, so you better have enough food for everyone!" Benedict teased. He looked around and saw that all the guests were indeed heroes and allies from the other zones.
"And knowing this happy event will be your last, I wanted to meet the lucky lady who stole your heart!" He pushed a button and two mecha gorilla jumped down from the nearby castle and slammed to the ground. Each of them held Janet and Princess Rose tightly in their arms. Both of them were struggling to break free.
"JANET!" Boost shouted at as he was his fiance in danger. He dashed above the mecha rooster's head and attempted to reach her, but the robo bird grabbed his leg and threw him against a tree instead.
Benedict laughed once more. "HOHOHO! I sense someone's being protective! Who would've thought you of all people would settle down for married life? You've been getting soft after all!"
Boost struggled to get up, but the mecha rooster grabbed him by his neck and raised him up in the air to keep him from running and having a fighting chance.
Janet saw the scene and reached for a hidden holster on her leg underneath her wedding dress, pulling out her plasma gun. She shot the metal menace in the back. It was a direct hit! The rooster fell, and Boost got his feet to the ground. He immediately dashed across the ground and kicked both of the mecha gorillas in the head, freeing the women from their clutches.
"That was ten times worse than being kidnapped by King Serpent..." Princess Rose gasped as she looked at her bridesmaid outfit which was now covered in oil and dust from the mechanical beasts. "Those animals ruined my dress AND everything I set up?!"
She looked directly at the speedster and shouted. "YOU BETTER KICK HIS BUTT FOR ME, MR. BOOST!"
Boost had no idea of how big Rose's temper got when she was angry, but he agreed. "Can do, Princess! This'll be way past easy!"
He then called over to his bear friend. "Yo, Box! Take the princess to a safe place, I don't think that electrician that usually saves her is coming today."
Box stepped in and kicked up the princess in her arms. "No problem. Then it'll be time to kick some metal butt!"
Rose blushed at the sight of his strength. "Oh my, such brute force!" It was taking quite a bit of her own strength to remember that electrician friend of hers.
After the civilians were further away, Boost, Janet and their friends worked together to beat the mecha army. Meanwhile the professor was eating popcorn and watching the while fight unfold. He was confident his victory was close.
Fur, nuts and bolts flew as everyone fought their hardest. Not to mention the explosions coming from the weapons the mecha animals fired at them.
"Even on our wedding day we have to fight somebody off? I know this might be a bit selfish to say, but I'm glad something else exciting happened today!" Janet shot her plasma gun at several mecha pandas, knocking them over like bowling pins.
"To be fair, I didn't even plan on this. Leave it to this wack job to mess things up as usual!" Boost said as punted a spare kid's ball into the head of a mecha pig.
"Hey, I heard that!" The professor warned them.
"You're not even nervous about any of this at all! Its like just a regular Tuesday to you isn't? Makes you have second thoughts?" Janet questioned as she shot more three more robots.
"Of course I'm nervous!" The badger replied as he kicked a mecha crocodile in the stomach then threw him into another mecha croc, causing them to explode on impact. "I know I seem like the most perfect guy you've ever seen. But I mess things up sometimes, and I just don't want to mess this up with you."
Janet smiled when she heard that, not even looking at the incoming mecha dog coming for her. "You mean that?" She grabbed the dog by the collar as it leaped at her, then threw it into the water fountain. "All this time I thought I was the one thinking too hard about this. I just want us to be together..."
(Talking about their feelings like this was normally reserved for when they were in private, but this was something different.)
Boost punched another robot so hard it actually shut down when it fell. The whole time he looked at his fiance with shining eyes. "Me too...I love you, Janet."
"I love you, Boost..." she whispered back.
They stood in the battlefield and held each others hands. It was as if there wasn't any deadly robots after them. It was only two people in love.
Professor Benedict spit out his popcorn. This wasn't part of the plan! "What? No! You're supposed to be arguing, not being lovey dovey! That's not how marriage works!"
As the professor raved, Boxer took advantage of him being distracted and punched the craft down to the ground. He ended up landing on some the destroyed robots. As the smoke cleared, he saw his entire army was nothing but scrap. Boost and Janet looked ready to give him some payback.
Benedict gulped. "Maybe I could just send you my gift in the mail instead?" He sheepishly grinned.
Boost looked as his fiance. "Wanna do this together?" He asked as he offered his hand to his soon to be wife.
Janet returned his grin and grabbed his hand. "I wouldn't miss this chance for the world."
Together, to two of them brought in a massively powerful kick to Benedict's egg craft and sent him flying back into the sky.
"CURSE YOU, BADGER! AND YOUR NEW WIFE TOO!" He yelled as he took off. His voice echoed as he disappeared into the clouds.
The crowd cheered as they bid the professor good riddance. At least until came crawling back with a new scheme.
But for now, Boost and Janet just wanted to get married already. 😆
"Say, you mind if we go ahead tie the knot now? At least before another crazy villain interrupts today." Janet asked the preacher. She looked a bit tired from the battle, but she still held Boost's hand tightly.
"Hehe, you read my mind! Let's get this going!" The badger winked.
The preacher nodded and looked at his bible, then back at the couple. They pretty much declared their love during the whole fight. "Well, there doesn't seem to be a need for vow exchanges now!" He laughed. "Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, badger and wife! You may kiss the bride!"
The badger laughed. "You don't have to tell me twice!"
Boost then surprised Janet by quickly scooping her up in his arms and they finally shared in their first kiss as a married couple.
While their friends and family cheered both for the couple and their victory, Professor Benedict was slowly flying away on his egg craft, which was sputtering from being beaten to smithereens. He was coughing up a bit of smoke from the explosions.
"I hate weddings..." He groaned as his mustache twitched in annoyance.

Author's Notes:
This was requested by @munamarvel14, who loved the idea and storyline I shared about my OC, Boost the Badger. He's the star of a video game series in the SuperZeroes universe, but Boost really exists in another dimension where all his adventures and friends are real. As well as other video game heroes, and they all live in one world together. The wedding story waa something she requested I write to get an idea of Boost and Janet's relationship!
Somehow I ended up writing out this guy more than the main SuperZeroes cast, lol. I guess because I want to write an episode where Boost ends up in the SuperZeroes dimension and teams up with Richie. But I hope its still a fun thing to read.
Also, this relationship is not only inspired by Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Felix and Calhoun from Wreck it Ralph, but also the original idea of Sonic the Hedgehog having a human girlfriend named Madonna. She planned for his very first game, but was later scrapped and we instead got Amy Rose. It was such a crazy idea that I loved so much, I wanted to use it here. Janet Diamond is a shout-out to both the Madonna character and Janet Jackson back in 80's. (At least design wise, still haven't finished it yet)
I love couples that are odd when you first look at them, but once you see their relationship grow and unfold, the two characters really love and respect each other. Its the same case for Boost and Janet here. Yeah, it is weird that they're together and most people in their world think they'll never work, but these two proved them wrong. Boost and Janet absolutely love and adore each other, and they're a battle couple when it comes to going on missions together! (SonAmy inspired there) They find comfort in each other after hard day or their villains cause trouble. So now they get to start a family and have a new adventure together. Leveling up is so much better with someone you love.
Anyway, thanks for reading all this, it was WAY longer than I planned, but I enjoyed writing it! Let me know if you want more of this couple and dimension! Its also on Ao3 if you want to read it there too!
BTW, their ship name is "Speedway"! 😉
(Uh, I dunno who else to tag, so I'll tag the ones who are also doing original works 😆) @thesafireartist @snackara @jojo-ker06 @your-ne1ghbor @iagomorales @kenihewa
Also, @cielos-pintados! Since you wanted to read this story, I'm tagging ya too! (Don't worry, I will respond to your messages soon, just been busy!)
So lets go over this, the Chimera Bnuy is Finished!
Thanks to everyone who voted! I never expected to get beyond like 5 votes, let alone fucking THIRTY THREE!!!??? I would appreciate notes or replies a lot more, but i understand people got not much time to do stuff, im still grateful to the people who voted, im so thankful.
Now the elefant in the room. what's to happen to the robo bnuy? well, lets just say she's not very happy-
I really wanna try make a bit of a story with these 2, i have a few plans too, but i'll have to flesh them out a bit more, hope you're interested in further developments.
And one last thing, that robo-bnuy art is definetly one of the best ever, so i made a bunch of alts, imma just drop them here at the bottom!
I have had this idea for MONTHS!!! And now, I was finally able to make it!
To my knowledge, I don’t think so anyone has made this for them and I was so shocked! because it makes so much sense for them as they do look alike (more so then Sonic and Shadow). I made Steve pretty feral looking here lol and it’s kind of a look ngl
This comic isn’t done, i wanna add a few more pages to it. Not really anything too important story wise lol just more interactions.
