The following talks about the events between Age 756 and Age 800 of Gerald Robotnik's life and new home on Mobius, his expeditions, discoveries, and events that took place. I don't have enough space in issue 12 to explain all this so it has become supplementary lore for you guys to enjoy if you want. Yes I will be referencing this journal in the last two audio logs in Issue 12, so you might want to give this a look.

Another thing to know, this is the journal that Rogue found on the ARK in that sealed room back in Issue #5! Though she only read a part of it.

Also, I'm not done with this yet, I will write Entry 19 (Age 800) after we get into the last major flashback of Issue 12. For now enjoy what I have here. If there is spelling errors, let me know I might have misspelled something or jumbled my words I was writing this late DX

With that said, enjoy the lost journal of Gerald Robotnik! (Note, this is not to be confused with his diary which starts after the events of Age 800 which are explained in audio log #3 in issue 12 of Sonic Z)

Professor Gerald Robotnik's Personal Life Journal

  Starts at Age 756 till Age 800

Entry I: The Arrival (Age 756)


   After the wish granted to us but the eternal dragon from the Dragon Balls back on Earth, Rebecca, I, our families, friends, friends of friends, friends of our families, and other strangers were all wished to this new paradise world identical to Earth. We ended up on a beach with tall forests behind us and a gleaming blue ocean before us, we wasted no time in beginning building our new home on this planet we have yet to give a name. I considered New Terra as the name, but Rebecca says that doesn't sound right for the planet and offered her name of Planet Paradise. We came to the conclusion that both our names sounded wrong and we agreed we would name the planet later.

   We began to open up the capsules we had stored with us and grabbed the tools, supplies, machines, and vehicles to start paving way for our first of hopefully more settlements. Since there were a lot of us starting out the first night was not so bad and majority of the houses were built or just unleashed by capsules. There were talks about animals running around in the night, bipedal animals, but that will be for another day I suppose.

  As for Gero's Schematics, I shoved them deep in my clothes drawer, and hope that no one will find and use them. As for Cell, I felt like if I kept it in a cryogenic freeze until I have the proper facility to maintain research on it, was the best option and I put it in my safe locked tight.

Entry 2: The Natives (Age 756)


   The next morning we were greeted by loud screams of some of the townsfolk and as Rebecca and I rushed out to see the commotion we were approached by the spooked person who told us they saw a weird talking bipedal animal running around and digging in their food supplies, that it ran into the forest. They asked if we should hunt it down but I said that Rebecca and I will go find this "native" seeing as it can talk and move on two feet that it must be sentient, so hunting it would be immoral.
 
  As Rebecca and I entered the forest we followed the footsteps of the native life form and we came across what appeared to be a small village with huts made from straw and logs with several bipedal anthropomorphic animals, there were hedgehogs, foxes, wolves, turtles, birds! They quickly spotted us and they captured us after we surrendered, they brought us to what appeared to be a primitive "mayor's" office and we were met with the village leader, a gray fox with orange eyes looked at us with concern as they asked who we were.

  We calmly explained who we were and where we came from, telling him that we came from another land far away, he found it to be very outlandish and said that the Mobians are the only people on Mobius and that they were given life by the ancient god Chaos. I found this very fascinating, they seem primitive yet they are oddly very intelligent to know that they are on a planet in space. With that said, I apologized for making them think we were part of their world and told him the truth about how we came to Mobius as they call it.

  After conversing with the mayor of the mobian village, he agreed on a peace treaty and we were allowed to traverse mobian soil, visit their village, have them come to our settlements, and help each other out. We shared our technology and helped advance their lifestyle and in return we learned more about the Mobians and the entire planet of Mobius. Astonishing, only after one day we have found other intelligent life on this planet, have made peace with them, and now we work together for a better future.

Entry 3: Growing and Expanding (Age 758)


  Two years had passed since my last journal entry and for good reason, we were very busy with building our city, thats right, a CITY! Central City as we have come to call it became our main settlement while some other people decided to venture out to other parts of the world to settle new areas. But for the most part we built up Central City and started construction on Westopolis to the northwest of the Western Continent and Empire City just up North from Central City. In addition, the Mobian village decided to annex with Central City and now our city is inhabited by Mobians and Humans working together.

  Soon after the city's growth, more Mobians showed up and joined with us, some though migrated to other parts of the land or returned back to the Eastern Continent where all Mobians had originated from. The Eastern Continent intrigued me and I plan to explore it sometime, just not for a few years I'm afraid. As for me and Rebecca, we have been appointed the leaders of the human cities and while it is an honor, I'd rather spend my life with Rebecca, start a family, and have someone else govern our new settlements. But for now, we are in charge until I figure out a good government to run with.

Entry 4: United Federation, GUN, and the ARK (Age 760)


  In the next two years after the last journal entry, more world changing events had happened. The city of Station Square was founded down south of Central City as a resort city for the most part while Rebecca and I had finally relieved ourselves of control of the human settlements. Several politicians and idealists along with myself came together and we formed a government body known as the United Federation, which comprised of the four main human cities and of course the Guardian Units of Nations or GUN for short, which became the Federations and the world's main source of protection.

  We founded GUN to ensure that in case of any alien attacks or if anyone from Earth comes and actually finds us, we can properly defend ourselves. But another thing became of interest, the first President of the UF and first commander of GUN proposed construction of a orbital space station capable of destroying any celestial body in space, to completely secure our planet from any out world threats. I came to them to tell them how barbaric the plan was, I understood the reason for it but a super weapon wasn't what we needed, what we need is ways to develop our technology and research the biology of the world. The President took a liking to my idea and as such he wanted to commission the creation of Project ARK, the first orbital research and development space station in human history, on Mobius and on Earth. I told them it would take decades until we finish building it, let alone launching it into space.

  But that was the trick, he asked me to design it and head the space development team to launch people into space and begin construction above the planet. It was ludicrous, but the challenge excited me and as such I accepted! Officially, the Space Colony ARK's construction had begun. When I came home to tell Rebecca the news she was excited and we had tons of fun sketching ideas for the ARK and space shuttles, space, a true challenge. That wasn't the only highlight this year either... the next day I found out that Rebecca was pregnant and after 9 months in Age 760, our first born son Ivan Robotnik was born! We were now officially a family and I became a father!

Entry 5: Launching into Space (Age 763)


  In Age 761 we managed to constructed a rocket to go into space, our first rocket, however it didn't make it through the atmosphere. Good news is that no one was in the rocket, thanks to my robotics skills we used only robots to pilot the rockets into space and they were much more efficient. Until we perfected it, we will not send humans or mobians into space. After more designing and building we kept launching more rockets of different designs and several failed. It seemed like an impossible task at this point. However, in Age 763, we did it somehow. Our most aerodynamic and powerful rocket managed to break out of the atmosphere and reach outer space! Now it was time to begin building the ARK, but there was some trouble...

  The Commander of GUN came to me personally and asked me to reconsider making the ARK have some sort of defensive weapon to use against any invading aliens or even people from Earth coming to find and destroy us. I told him no but he was persistent and offered me security on the ARK when it is finished as well as a lot of funding with the UF's funding as well. I told him I'd think about it but I needed to do some research to see what he has in mind is possible, perhaps Dr. Gero's old schematics might be of assistance? I'll dig them out of my drawers then and begin to read up on them even though it brings back some bad memories of the past.

  Meanwhile little Ivan became 2 years old this year as well, we took care of him while we worked but if we were too busy we often had our Mobian Hedgehog babysitter take care of him and watch over him. These were indeed times of joy for me and my family and the world, but I can feel myself aging, I must complete the ARK and live to see it, even though I am only 31 years old.

Entry 6: The Second Child / Central City's Capitalization (Age 765)


  The Space Colony ARK has begun construction above orbit and it is estimated to be finished within two to three decades, maybe even more. We've sent Mobian and Human astronaut/Construction workers up to the ARK's construction site along with some of my worker robots of mine and we are using a chunk of space rock with a rich mineral and metal deposit to start the up the main facility. We also sent food and building supplies up to the ARK as well, but there was one problem, a powerful energy source for the cannon and the rest of the facility.

  I decided there was only one thing we could do, I used Dr. Gero's infinite energy drive schematic and reversed engineered it to make it suitable for the ARK's power source and sent them up the building supplies and plans for the drive. As such they began work on it immediately as I attended to my growing family as another child was born, this time a daughter whom we called Bethany. Ivan was 4 years old at the time and he wasn't sure about having a sister and I told him that once she grows a bit older you will appreciate her as a sibling and you will have a play mate along with the babysitter.

  Another Major event was when the United Federation announced to the world that Central City is now the capital of the Western Continent, The United Federation, and GUN. It was incredible to hear those words from the president, "And all this would not have been possible without Gerald Robotnik and his wife Rebecca Robotnik!" I was at the stage with him with hundreds of people cheering, Mobians and Humans, this was something we created, something I didn't think would ever happen and it did... 

Entry 7: The Chaos Emeralds and Chaos the Life God (Age 766)


  Now this year I was excited, this was the year that my family and I were able to go to the Eastern continent and explore the Mobian's territory. We went to quite the exotic locations and to my surprise I saw many places where humans chose to live with the Mobians, it was the vise versa of what it was back home. The first place was Port Town, the Mobian sea trade town where they had shipments of goods from the Western Continent brought to them and goods from the Eastern Continent shipped to us to the west. The people were nice and friendly and Ivan played around with the Mobian children, it was so adorable to see my son play with them too, it was like kids playing with puppies but they could talk and were actually people.

  The next location was Mazuri and we saw the giant trees there carved out and made into homes as well as adobe huts, the food was delectable and again the people were kind and very cultured. There was something that caught my interest when one night when we stayed there that the Mobians prayed to Chaos, the same god I heard about years ago when we first arrived. I asked them about the origins of Chaos and they told me the most fascinating story...

  It went something like this, in the early days of Mobius, there was no real intelligent life on the planet until Chaos, the Master Emerald, brought new life to the world in the form of the Ancient Echidnas, life prospered for the Echidnas until a terrible war had broken out between the tribes, as tensions arose, the Echidnas sought out the power of the Chaos Emeralds, the powerful gemstone relics of Chaos and when they attempted to misuse the Emeralds, Chaos brought destruction upon the tribes ending the Echidna civilization, but not the people entirely. Now the Master Emerald rests up in the clouds above on Angel Island, the land that Chaos blessed the power of flight. He went on to tell me much of the lore and legends have been retold countless times and that after the Echidnas had fallen, Chaos spread his knowledge to the rest of Mobius and hid the Chaos Emeralds throughout the planet so that no one will find them again.

  I respected the legend, and I asked where the ruins of the Echidna tribes were at. With a simple nod, he pointed northwards from Mazuri and said into the ancient woodlands. I took my family there as we explored the forests looking for Echidna artifacts and tomes, I was really intrigued by this ancient mobian race, I almost wanted to fly to this Angel Island they spoke of... if I could find it... We eventually stumbled upon what appeared to be their capital, with a giant stone pyramid of sorts covered in flora and with severe weathering. We decided to stay for the night and explore more in the morning.

Entry 8: Angel Island and the Master Emerald (Age 766)


  Upon further discoveries of the ancient ruins, we found a rather large crater near what was called by the Mobians as the Mystic Ruins, this turned out the be the site where Angel Island was at and without haste we spent some time trying to track down where the island might have gone. It was certainly not directly above us, otherwise the shadow might give away it's location. Then I saw the rock formation of the crater, it seemed it was showing that the island might have been taken above the nearby ocean...

  I opened my airplane capsule as we took flight into the skies to find the mysterious Angel Island... And after several hours we managed to find it! It was remarkable, the whole island floated above the clouds with waterfalls dripping from the sides with large forests, a desert, several old ruins, and tall frozen mountains. We landed near this area with some odd ruins and that is where I saw it, a giant green emerald, it was it, the Master Emerald! However, upon landing I was greeted by two mobians who were apparently the guardians of the Master Emerald.

  It turned out that these mobians were descendants of the ancient echidnas, a father and his son, Sabre and Locke. They questioned how we found the island and I told them we were just lucky to find it when we searched for it. I meant no harm and I was just there with my family to sight see. I was curious about the Master Emerald and I asked them if the Emerald was Chaos the god. Sabre then told us that they thought the Emerald was the god but instead it was a water monster that guarded the emerald in the ancient times, however, when the Echidnas attempted to misuse the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, Chaos wiped out the entire civilization leaving only few echidnas left on Mobius. He went on to say that the rest of the echidnas are spread throughout the Eastern Continent and that he and his family continues a tradition of guarding the Emerald from anyone who might try to use it for evil and unknowingly unleash the wrath of Chaos again...

  After a long talk, I understood the purpose of the Master Emerald, it was the controller of the Seven Chaos Emeralds, if they were together they could produce unlimited energy... I took notes down and drew up concepts of the shrine to show to my colleagues back at home. Ivan was getting bored and Bethany wouldn't stop crying, I felt like we overstayed our welcome and left the island after saying good bye to the echidna father and son as we took our planes and headed back home. There was more of the Eastern continent I wanted to explore, but I suppose that will be in the retirement plan I guess.

Entry 9: The Eclipse Cannon (Age 767)


  After a year of simple house life while raising our children and researching the genetic make up of Mobians, I received an urgent call from the President about the cannon on the ARK, he told me that the infinite energy drives were not providing enough power for the cannon to fully operate and it will need something with much more to make it a threat against any invading forces...

  I didn't want to develop a weapon, I was hoping they would do it for me, but my masterpiece design was at stake. If I refused then my funding would be cut... I spent night after night creating sketches and designs of my orbital weapon, the Eclipse Cannon, but nothing could work... there was nothing that could produce enough energy to create a beam of energy as powerful as they want me to make it with the energy drives, they were too small and I wasn't sure how to make them bigger... Even so, I was worried if that such a cannon was above our heads the entire time, I fear that someone would use it to control other people... 

  Then as I was flipping through my notes I saw the master emerald shrine I drew a year ago... then I had an idea! If we built a master emerald shrine replica in the cannon's core with the seven chaos emeralds being the power source, the cannon should be able to fire a laser with enough magnitude to destroy even a planet. The best part of this was that the emeralds were hidden long ago and no one knows where they are at, but we can always search for them if we know something is coming to Mobius. Second, if someone finds the emeralds and powers up the cannon, we can use the Master emerald to disable the Chaos Emeralds and the cannon. Of course, I would need to find a chaos emerald to test my design... My search had begun...

Entry 10: At Long Last, A Chaos Emerald (Age 771)


  Many years had passed since I wrote my last journal entry, and I have done it... I went to the Mobian territories, the eastern continent, from Port City to Never Lake, but I managed to find one of the illusive Chaos Emeralds hiding on a small remote island called Convergence Island by the Mobians. It was a beautiful color of Green and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Rebecca and I began to run tests on the Emerald and just this single emerald produced more than enough energy, even more than 1 trillion of the infinite energy drives by my estimations!

  I was joyed with this and I presented my designs to the president and GUN along with the idea of using the Chaos Emeralds and they loved it, they said they would send the plans and the Emerald up soon but they had an announcement for me, that the station was ready to house civilians and the designer of it (Which was me) to live on the ARK! It was finally time, my family and I were going to live up above in the stars with many other colonists, doing what we loved to do; Science and research. We could raise our family and have our kids have families of their own!

  I was so excited and so was Rebecca and the kids, they always wanted to go into space. I was probably the most excited, I was ready to see the stars and the planet from the ARK. We were scheduled to take off to the ARK at Age 772 when they have their space shuttle ready.

As a time stamp, here are the ages of my kids, myself, and Rebecca. 
Ivan ~ 10
Bethany ~ 8
Gerald ~ 40
Rebecca ~ 39

Entry 11: Space Colony ARK (Age 772)


  Finally, being able to witness my designs first hand, to live among the stars with my family, friends, and new people, the time had come. We were hoisted up into the space shuttle and we blasted off into space with our belongings, equipment, the plans for the eclipse cannon, and the Chaos Emerald.

  After some space travel we saw the ARK as we approached it, it was still under construction but for the most part it was complete and as we entered the hanger bay we were greeted by construction workers and other colonists, they praised me for the design and were eager to begin work on the Eclipse Cannon.

  We set up our new homes in the residential districts and kept the schematics still tight up in my safe with Cell, I was ready to experiment with what I wanted, but I had to first create the eclipse cannon and complete the ARK. This will take a few more years but I do believe this will be my greatest achievement! And with the loving support of my family and friends, things couldn't be any better for us.

Entry 12: Completion of the Cannon and the ARK (Age 781)


  This year marked the end of construction aboard the ARK, and the age of research and development begun. The workers took shuttles back to Earth and the ones who chose to stay did and continued to live on the ARK, meanwhile I spent most of this year laying back and raising my young adult son and daughter with my beloved Rebecca. Last year I started to lose my hair and grow a thicker and longer mustache, this year, I lost all my hair as if it all migrated to my face! I was starting to wrinkle, and grow older and gray, but I was a happy man with my family.

  Ivan had found a wonderful girlfriend back in Age 777 and Bethany has started dating one of the workers sons, a nice lad who knew how to treat my daughter. As good times came, there was my past hiding behind my shadow, my old mentor and friend Dr. Gero's mad creation; Cell and his schematics... They were on the top of my list to deal with...

As a time stamp, here are the ages of my kids, myself, and Rebecca for this year
Ivan ~ 20
Bethany ~ 18 
Gerald ~ 50
Rebecca ~ 49

Entry 13: My Son is Getting Married! (Age 782)


  Truly a wonderful year, my son Ivan married his girlfriend and are starting a new line of the Robotnik family. My daughter and her boyfriend are close as well and I expect them to be wedded someday, but for now I rejoice for my Son and his new wife!

Entry 14: Cell's Growth / Chaos Energy Studies (Age 783)


  After a lot of contemplating, I decided to unfreeze Cell and not kill it but instead grow it to full size to see what Gero had intended to unleash upon the Earth if I hadn't stopped him and perhaps Cell could be of good research for future development. To ensure that if people from Earth do make their way to Mobius, I altered Cell's name in all records to Prototype-1 so that they might not be enticed to find it. But for this journal, I will refer to it as Cell.

  The second plan this year was the study of Chaos Energy, the mystic force generated by the Chaos Emeralds which is exhibited in almost all the Mobians on the planet. I wanted to begin work on creating creatures from this energy source, starting with making my own Chaos replicas with Chaos energized water and machines. My experiments had finally begun on the ARK!

Entry 15: Artifical Chaos and Prototype-2 (Age 785)


  Several tries and we did it, we have successfully created Artificial Chaos! Almost as exact as the depictions of the water being in the murals back at the ruins on Mobius. The Artificial Chaos however was hard to control and as such I kept them locked up until I found a method of controlling them.

  There were no Mobians up here on the ARK, only humans as the Mobian workers here wanted to go back to their planet, I wouldn't blame them. But I missed seeing them and I decided to create a clone of the hedgehog babysitter we had take care of Ivan many years ago. This resulted in Prototype-2, a chaos energized green hedgehog whom Ivan took a liking to after meeting him. Prototype-2 was nicknamed Little Green by Ivan [CCI545 Note: Yes, I did reference DBZA for that as a joke as well] and he didn't like the name too much but it beat saying Prototype-2 all the time.

  He was later introduced to Bethany and the two got along pretty well, it was like another addition to our growing family and I was so happy to have seen another Mobian after so long... Makes me wish I could stop by that planet one more time, but I have everything I could want up here in space on this station.


Entry 16: Bethany's Wedding (Age 789)


  After her boyfriend proposed, My daughter was engaged and wedded the same year aboard the ARK. I was so happy for her and now a new branch of the Robotnik family has been created. Now I had to wait to see my grand children whenever either of my children decide to have them... but I feel myself getting older and older...

As a time stamp, here are the ages of my kids, myself, and Rebecca for this year
Ivan ~ 28
Bethany ~ 26 
Gerald ~ 58
Rebecca ~ 57

Entry 17: Ki Energy or Life Force (Age 790)


  There were some recorded events of Ki energy on Earth, or known as life force, the energy within all living beings. But after looking over the Cell schematics, it appears that Cell is capable of manipulating Ki energy to make itself stronger which lead me on to some ideas. If Ki or life force can be sustained and kept sustained even after the person has reached their age limit. After this realization, I began further tests with Cell and started to understand what it was...

  Cell like what Gero told me so long ago, was a conglomeration of different cells from several fighters on Earth, including Goku, that small boy with the tail that saved me from the Red Ribbon Army. Cell was meant to absorb more people and become stronger and eventually absorb his android designs to become even more powerful and complete. It was hard to believe Gero designed such an abomination, but now I can see that he might prove to be of scientific use.

  At this time Cell had grown to a decent size and looks like a giant cicada, but I safely sampled it's tissue and blood to run tests on for the next few years, perhaps I might need Cell later on if need be.

Entry 18: My Final Journal Entry (Age 800)


  After the accident with Cell's escaping and killing my beloved Rebecca, my daughter Bethany, her husband Jon, and several friends and colleagues of mine... To top it off, Ivan and his Wife decided they wanted to live on Mobius and start a family away from any dangers as possible. They left the ARK as Prototype-2 and I watched them go to the planet. Then, it hit me, Maria and I, were the last Robotnik's on the ARK...

    I wasn't sure if Ivan and his wife would have kids, they did say they would start a family, but even then, I don't think I will live long enough to see them if I can't create this immortality formula that GUN wants me to produce... But all that mattered to me now was Maria and to cure her NIDS...

     I will have Prototype-2 take care of Maria while I work, and this time we will not use Cell directly anymore... I might see about creating serums from the tissue and cells I sampled from it... But for my Ultimate creation, Project Shadow, I will create without Cell's tissue, I will create him like I did with Prototype-2, but I will give him the ability to fight against beings like Cell, to protect Maria, and the planet Mobius from any dangers... As for what energy type he will use... I will use Ki for his life force (naturally) and chaos energy for his power.

    We will see how this goes, but first, I must end this journal and start a new document, my diary. This journal contains too much of the past, and as I will be locking Cell, this journal, and several schematics away from everyone including myself, I need to end it.

    Thank you for reading if you so chose to read my entries... and if you are reading this and listened to my audio logs, it is clear you found Cell and my warnings about it... please... under any circumstance, do not release Cell! Gero created this thing for one thing, and one thing only... Destruction, of everyone, the world, and maybe, even the universe...


End.
