A Difficult Road Traveled is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan fic by Zelchias.Ten years after Robotnik's conquest of the world, the human territories of Overland are nothing but ruins. The local resistance wiped out save for one, Specialist Chris Thorndyke. Tired of the routine of maintaining the massive, empty base alone and sending out unanswered distress signals for over a year, Chris decides to leave and spend the remainder of his days taking the fight to the tyrant's front door solo and ultimately go out in a blaze of glory. That changes when he comes across a Mobian girl, Cream, and her strange little friend, Cheese.An Alternate Universe Fic that takes Chris Thorndyke from Sonic X and gives him a Darker and Edgier overhaul to fit the tone of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) and Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics).Story hasn't been updated since 2019.Can be found here. | |

Sins of Our Fathers | |
| A Difficult Road Traveled (Fanfic) / int_1adcd502 | comment |
Sins of Our Fathers: Sally carries a lot of guilt from the fact her father's actions in regard to Robotnik are what led to the tyrant conquering the world and the suffering that has resulted from it. When Chris hears that she leads the Knothole Freedom Fighters, he objects to the idea of joining them, but Lupe convinces him to judge the princess as her own person. | |

Genocide from the Inside: Once Robotnik began his conquest of Mobius, he sent his forces to Overland with orders to kill any human on sight. Chris is one of the few, if not the very last, survivors of said attack. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| A Difficult Road Traveled (Fanfic) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Aside from Chris all other human characters from Sonic X died before the story even starts. The only one who could still be alive is Ella, but Chris has long since accepted she is most likely gone too. Comics character Hugo Brass is also among the fallen as oppose canon where he is alive though brainwashed into being one of Eggman's regional commanders. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| A Difficult Road Traveled (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: A major theme in the story is the prejudice humans and Mobians have towards each other. Chris faces discrimination from bigoted villagers in Knothole, most notable from Geoffrey St. John who shot him on sight with a stun bolt, Drago Threatened and attacked him, and to a lesser extent Reynard. In Knothole he's refused rations and effigies are burned in front of Vanilla's house. It reaches a head when someone sabotages Chris’ first mission as Freedom Fighter to try and kill him. | |

| A Difficult Road Traveled (Fanfic) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Chris does not consider Robotnik to be human after all he's done to point of snapping at Antoine for pointing out they're the same species. Sonic is another one as Chris resents how easy it seems for the hedgehog to take out Robotnik's forces while his old unit often suffered massive casualties just for small victories. | |

| A Difficult Road Traveled (Fanfic) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Lupe, at first, she's cautious towards Chris due to the Great War between Mobians and humans but still hears him out on why he's travelling with Cream and Cheese, even advising him against his original suicidal plans, and later apologized to him that one of her group, Drago, attacked him when informed of what happened by an unbiased source. At first Sally hesitant to allow Chris to join the Freedom Fighters, remembering how Robotnik rose to power in Mobotropolis. After hearing him out, she allows him a chance to prove himself. | |

Unfortunate Names: Reynard (a wolf) is named after a word for fox. It’s actually invoked, as his father got one look at his red fur and promptly accused Reynard’s mother of having an affair, giving Reynard his name out of spite before abandoning his family. | |
