Entropy

""You know when you're a monster... when you stand alone on top of the world with nothing left to destroy. Maybe I am not that monster yet maybe I am. I contemplate that every single day. I can stand on top of the world knowing my enemy has been defeated but does that make me the monster of his world? Who knows?""

- Mr. Thorn/ at the beginning of Chapter 21.

"Experiment 282: "Look up. Trust me. Oh and don't worry, it only gets crazier from here.""

- Authors note at the end of C15. This doesn't add in the other either.

Entropy is a Sonic the Hedgehog Adventure/ Angst Fanfic by Experiment 282. Sonic questions himself with his relationship with Amy Rose after a series of dreams involving Amy look-a-likes lead him down a dangerous path to uncover an ancient conspiracy. Found here

The story begins with Sonic in a dream and for some reason keeps encountering people who look like Amy but aren't. He wakes up and finds an invite to Creams birthday party, where he meets up with Tails with some information on Muriel's Garden, situated somewhere in Holoska. They visit these ruins which starts off a very weird adventure on solving puzzles, finding artifacts, battling Abbadonia and Dr. Eggman as well as some other issues. From then on, it follows Sonic on a downward spiral as he's mentally tested and begins to have serious doubts about his heroic lifestyle. Especially now that he finds out Amy is dating Shadow, much to his surprise, as well as many other events that chip away at his sanity. He also meets the Femme Fatalex a trio of masked, leather clad Action Girls who work for GUN and are aiming in taking down the newest threat, the previously mentioned Abbadonia who is getting help from Dr. Eggman.
