The Apocalypse

The Apocalypse is the first story in the Apocalypse series. It begins with the main character (Jason Bower) going to school. This day then gets weirder when he blows himself out of the classroom window with a plasma blast. He then goes home and is visited by Wave The Swallow of the Babylon Rogues (which also includes Jet The Hawk). Jason joins them and goes off to save the world. They are then attacked by Mekkaku (aka: Neo Metal Sonic from Sonic Heroes), the super robot version of Sonic who seems bent on destroying the world. After a fight, Jason goes back to his school and fights Silver The Hedgehog. After sparing his life, Silver and Blaze The Cat decide to join Jason, Wave, and Jet to help defeat Mekkaku and save the planet. It all leads to a fight at Mekkaku's base which will decide the fate of our planet.

Behind The Scenes
Here are some secrets behind the creation of the first Apocalypse story

Story Idea
"The original idea for The Apocalypse was about the world after a nuclear attack. I could not, however, come up with any more of the plot besides that. Then, after watching Sonic The Swordsman on Newgrounds, I decided to make a story where Sonic has a sword and fights Metal Sonic. It would be epic. I then got a brilliant idea that quicly evolved into a Sonic story where the main character was actually a teenage in High School and called that The Apocalypse. The end-of-the-world story re-surfaced later as Desolation. The original plot of The Apocalypse was Jason, Wave, and Jet do their thing, Jason becomes evil, kills either Tails, Knuckles, or both, Sonic gets mad, Jason and Sonic fight, Mekkaku joins the fight, Jason becomes good, and Jason, Sonic, and Wave kill Mekkaku . I decided it would be best NOT to kill off Tails and Knuckles and, instead, introduce Blaze and Silver to the story. I kept the part of Jason becoming evil because I love a good corruption. Then I made a few tweaks here and a few tweaks there, resulting in what it is now." ~Anthony Mathis on Creating The Apocalypse
