Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Sonic the hedgehog. I only own the OCs. The idea of the main protagonist has been taken from Japanese human-animal hybrid fictional characters (Kemonomimi), but it's a Sonic World AU. Story involves completely different issues and does not follow plots of any Sonic games, comics or anything.
A/N: English is not my first language. So, please ignore the grammatical mistakes.
Category: Action, Romance, Drama, Harem.
N/B: Before you start to read, please note that the main character is not exactly a hedgehog or anthropoid, she is a 'Hedgehog girl'/ 'Hog girl'/Harinezumimi like cat girls/nekomimi, fox girls/kitsunemimi and other hybrids. That means the heroine is like a human with hedgehog ears and tail (click the cover picture) and she is mainly shipped with four hedgehog characters from Sonic, along with some more. OC details will be given in next chapter.
Warning: Later chapters will be full of lemons between the main character and Sonic characters. If you are uncomfortable with smuts between humanoid x furry, don't read.
Inter-species Cultural Exchange Program
"You gotta be kidding me, Rouge."
Shadow quietly snarled at the bat, who just shrugged, "I wish I would, but that's the truth. That's why, we're going at Sonic's to see something for this."
"What does that faker have to do with this?!"
"G.U.N commander told about sending Sonic and Silver with you..."
"Then I don't need to be there for some socializing event, do I?" Shadow tried to avoid. "That faker and that stupid can be enough for that."
"If you were something else, maybe I wouldn't bother to come to you."
"What do you mean?"
"You weren't paying attention at the meeting at G.U.N, did you?" The bat raised an eyebrow, "They specially emphasized on the hedgehog species. Which means...none but You, Sonic and Silver are gonna attend this program and staying together for a few months."
"Shit...! Out of all people, I have to stuck with those two idiots." The black hedgehog grumbled, "What about Rose?"
"Amy will join later when it's necessary."
"Then why doesn't she go instead of me? She should take the chance to have that faker alone for a while."
"There're two reasons for that." She replied instantly, as if she knew he would ask that. "For one, you four hedgehogs are from four different dimensions. They need information and stuffs, and you guys have plenty of that. Since Sonic is already there, so Amy won't be needed."
"Hold one, who's the number four here?"
"Oh, I didn't mention about Scourge, did I?"
"SCOURGE...?!"
"He's got out of jail for this reason. Without his crew and because of the high-tech security system of the Japanese Govt, I don't think Scourge can do anymore nuisance." Rouge informed. "Besides, Jet is joining too. There should not be any problem. It's just a matter of few months, you could also find out if there are any kind of threats from those hybrid or liminal creatures. Speaking of that..." Suddenly the bat thoughtfully rubbed her chin. "...actually, there is a potential one..."
"What do you mean?"
"And there comes the second reason. You heard about those liminal beings having a queen. I have come to know what type of hybrid she is. She is considered as a...hedgehog, and..."
That was the thing that made Shadow turn to Rouge seriously.
"...The threat is...her daughter."
"WTF with this inter-species cultural exchange program?" Knuckles reacted not liking the idea, "It's not like we don't know about humans."
"As expected from Knucky..."
"Hey don't call me that, old hag!"
"What did you just say?!"
"Rouge..." Shadow irritably said closing his eyes, "I didn't come here to see a bunch of kids fighting."
"Who you're calling kids?!" The bat and the echidna annoyedly turned to the hedgehog together.
"Will you guys cut it out, please?" Amy interrupted, "Rouge, continue what you had been saying."
"I will if this Knucky keeps shut his mouth until I finish."
Knuckles just scoffed, then Sonic spoke up while grabbing a chili dog, "So...what do we have to do there? To demonstrate about Mobius culture or something?"
"Actually, it's only for show." Rouge replied, "G.U.N informed me something because of which, you guys specially have been chosen.
The idea of this program didn't come in USA but in Japan. Their govt. recently exposed the fact that some monstrous creatures are residing there. In fact, the queen of those monsters, herself came forward to make peace with humans...that's why their government took the initiative. Thus they contacted with G.U.N to get us involved."
"Before you tell about the actual task," Tails spoke up, "...could you say about these mysterious creatures?"
"Sure." With that, the bat turned the tv on, before inserting a drive to the player. The video then started playing. A picture appeared on the tv screen, first it looked like a normal human girl...before the Mobians noticed a pair of fox ears above her head and a fluffy tail behind.
"...What the hell is that?"
"What if I say...that's a fox?"
"Ehh?!" Tails was appalled, "How come? Yes, her ears and tail are like mine, but..."
"That's the point about these creatures, this Kitsunemimi or fox girl is a liminal being, creatures whose features are a combo of human and other animals. You know about mermaids, right? What do you think they are?"
"But...I thought they were just myths."
"This is the weirdest fact...they exist for real, unlike being just myths that we used to think. There're more examples of liminal beings." Then Rogue showed some more pictures on the tv screen, a second one was a mermaid, then there was a centaur- half human half horse, a lamia - half woman half anaconda and a Nekomimi - half cat half human. One thing was common between all of them, their heads and main bodies were of humans.
"Look Blaze...isn't he good-looking?!" Silver snickered to see the liminal cat boy's picture, "Why don't you go with us to find a boyfriend?" In reply, the lavender colored anthropomorphic cat just glared him.
"There're more creatures in their realm, like birds, pandas, tigers, slims and many more..." The bat paused, knowing that now her friends would actually be interested, like Shadow did earlier, "...including hedgehogs."
And Rouge was right, as Sonic stopped chewing the chili dog. Silver and Amy were also intrigued to hear about the existence other types of hedgehogs...with physical human traits.
"They have been known as Harinezumimi or, human like creatures with hedgehog traits. Although apparently, there are only two of them alive, but they're the most important figures in their empire..." The bat continued, "The queen and her daughter. They had been secretly ruling an unknown abyssal zone for a long time uniting all the liminal creatures.
It's been said that the queen was the wife of Crimson Venom, a guardian demon from the hell and an apprentice of Solaris. He was protecting the liminals and fell in love with the queen who was the only living hedge liminals. Because, many of those creatures had been killed or caught by humans, in exchange for lives who previously were killed by violent type of liminals. When the guardian was deceased, the queen took the liminals under her care and isolated themselves to protect them. But, humans who knew or saw them once, always searched for them. For a long time, the queen managed to keep her subordinates away from dangers."
"But they and humans are just fighting with each other!" Amy annoyedly commented, "And liminals will be more affected because they're outnumbered."
"Outnumbered? Not sure about that. Yes, we have also human traits, but liminals are more human-like than us because of their physical similarities and their abilities are higher than us. According to the govt, there're predator liminals out of their kingdom and they're capable of taking down the mankind. Not to mention they can be used for people's research and entertainment. And that's how it all started." Rouge explained,
"Last year, a mermaid was displayed at a renowned zoo at the capital. She was seen pleading to the visitors to let her out claiming that she had been kidnapped. But no one responded or agreed to set her free. In fact, the authority used her as a hostage to catch all the hybrids. Of course, the queen wasn't happy to know that, yet she wasn't the one who made the violent move...it was her daughter. The mermaid was her friend."
"What did she do?" Sonic asked.
"This video will give your answer, which I got from G.U.N. It was recorded from the security camera at a specialized research center last year, where the mermaid had been taken." With that, Rouge took out the first cd from the player before inserting a second one. The video was black and white, and kinda blurry. Yet, it was possible to see the scenarios. It showed a corridor, with two armed guards strolling there. At a moment, they stopped to see something. Someone entered through the front door. The view was auto zoomed to see who it was.
"A kid...?" Silver muttered to see a dark haired small girl, who stood almost half of the guards. Her face and physical structure were not clearly visible.
"That's what they thought before they paid the price..." Rouge replied to him.
There was no sound in the video, but it was not hard to see that the three figures were making a conversation. Then suddenly, both the guards pointed their weapons to the small visitor, who was slowly backing away. The audience at Mobius were anticipated to see what happened then. But they were really not ready for the next scene. The 'little girl' suddenly jumped before starting to spin, or more like twirling, as it was not like the usual spinning of the Mobian hedgehogs. The guards probably shot but she was moving and jumping while twirling in an incredible speed. Her long hair looked like a whirlpool while being at it. Finally, she hit on the two men, who instantly fell down by the attack with immense blood.
"What the hell was that just now...?!" Shadow couldn't help but reacted.
"You can say that as 'whirlpool dash', considering the spin dash move of you hedgy boys." Rouge pointed the comparison.
"Did she kill them?"
"No but, they got their legs off... The princess is an aggressive one."
"So...that's the princess hedgehog...no, half-hedgehog." Sonic murmured while keeping his eyes glued on the tv monitor. "Or, human with hedgehog quills, or...whatever."
After a few seconds, the girl in the screen turned to the front door before signaling something to come inside. Then a large creature entered. It's upper body was of a male, and lower body was of a horse...a centaur it was. Comparing to him, the hedgehog girl seemed very tiny. They both were seen going inside.
"So she came to rescue her friend." The albino hedgehog prompted.
"You think we haven't understood that already?" Blaze rudely replied, "Just quit making yourself an idiot by speaking the obvious, Silver." The hedgehog just sadly pouted to hear that from his cat crush. But he was not wrong, though. As the hedgehog princess in the video, showed up again with the centaur following her after some time. But the horse guy had something on his back...it was another girl, with fish-like lower half. After that, the princess jumped on the horse too, ready to leave. But before that, she threw something towards the viewers, and the video went fuzzy.
"Did she just break the cameras?" Tails said.
"Yeah, this was the only camera she 'broke' since she was leaving. That's why we could knew the least of whatever happened." Rouge sighed, "Other cameras were crushed into pieces, files were roasted. The information documents about liminals were gone forever, finally the research center was shut down. But few days later, the authority received a letter from an unknown location. It was from the queen hedgehog herself. In the letter, she apologized for her daughter's act and offered a proposal for peace in order to remove all the odds between humans and the liminals. She also came herself to meet the officials and there they discussed about a way of inter-species socialism. It was going on during the invasion of Materix. So, they were informed about us too. Then the liminal queen gave the idea of a culture exchange program including not only humans and liminals, but also Mobians. That's how, we got in there now."
"Not you, it's only us." Shadow scoffed.
"Right, but you four asses have been selected for a reason, you know?"
"What did you just say now?!"
"You four S's." Rogue snickered.
"I don't get how Scourge got this chance." Sonic was pretty annoyed to know about his evil counterpart joining them.
"Alternate dimension, you see. They're picking every different beings possible. But, you guys have been specially chosen for the princess."
"What...?" Silver was surprised, "You mean that human-like hedgehog we just saw?! And what do you mean by we've been chosen for her?"
"Participants from one race will be staying with another race during this program, yet species similarities have been noted. As far, I've been informed, the humanhog queen forced her daughter to attend this program as a punishment for the mermaid incident. Probably because of all being hedgehogs, you five have been put together to stay. Jet is selected to stay with two humans and a harpy, means liminal bird girl."
Amy suddenly became thoughtful, before she said, "Can I go with them, please? I mean, she might get uncomfortable living with all boys."
"In that case..." Sonic snapped, "Amy can go instead of me. I don't mind. I would rather enjoy the vacation here than staying with some strange creature."
"I didn't mean to go without you...!" The pink hedgehog frowned.
"Not possible for you to go now, Amy." Rouge disappointed her, "At least...not before one or two months. Their names have already been selected."
"Let's just get this over as soon as possible." Shadow coldly said, "I don't like the idea of staying away from Maria for long."
"Shadow..." Rouge also said monotonously, "Even though, the new yellow hedgehog possesses the DNA of the dead human...both you and I know that she's not the same Maria that you used to love. Besides, she likes that owl Hans and still thinks you as her brother...like she always did."
"Shut the fuck up." The black hedgehog tried to hide his frustrated look. "Anyways, I guess I'm done here for now. Let me know when we'll take off."
"I can keep my mouth shut but that won't change the truth." The bat murmured when he left for his cave. Tails and Blaze also left for their room.
"Please, it's not a good time to talk on this. Shadow can take care of that after the interracial program is over." Silver tried to cool down the situation, but he quickly left as he was getting upset himself. It was never hard for a brilliant cat like Blaze to realize that Silver was madly in love with her. But while gossiping with Amy and Rouge on this issue, she simply made it clear that she could not think Silver as anything else other than a close friend or, a younger brother. Also, the one who Blaze was truly interested in, was a certain purple chameleon from team Chaotix...not the ivory hedgehog. Espio is a lot smarter than Silver and exactly Blaze's type of guy. Unfortunately, the said hedgehog overheard them so he decided to stop his growing feelings for the cat and remained as friends, no matter how much it hurt.
"This is why I'm never serious when it comes about girls...things always get complicated. Those two should be thankful for their furry chests or we could have seen two bleeding broken hearts." Sonic snorted carelessly. "That's why Amy, you should give up."
The pink hedgehog sadly said, "At least, you could give me a chance."
"I would have, if I were looking for a relationship...which I'm not." The blue hedgehog stated before yawning. "Anyways Rouge, keep us updated and tell that evil green not to make any ruckus with us if we're supposed to stay together." He went to sleep, Amy followed suit. Knuckles was about to go before he noticed an unlikely thoughtful bat.
"Hmph...as heroic those hedgehogs are, as pathetic their girl problems are." Rouge sighed closing her eyes.
"I can see that for Shadow and Silver..." The red echidna muttered, "But...Sonic? He really doesn't treat Amy more than just a friend."
"No, it's not only Amy...Sonic doesn't want any steady relationship anymore, or at least not any emotional bonding with any girl." The bat turned to him, "Have you already forgot about Sally and Fiona? You think being dumped by the first girlfriend and cheated by the second one were easy to take for that narcissistic blue hedgehog? Anything but that's where Sonic got beaten by his green rival when Fiona left him, though later it served right to that red foxy because Scourge wasn't into commitment either and was rather busy taking over Moebius. But Sonic probably stopped trusting girls since then."
Knuckles stared her for a while, he did not think someone like Rouge could be this observant. But he did not want to give her that easily though. So he snorted, "When were girls ever trustworthy anyway?"
"You know what, stupid echidna..." The bat scoffed, "Like I said before, you urgently should go back to primary school to study on girls. As for these four hedgehogs..." Rouge thoughtfully rubbed her chin, "...I've a feeling that their tasteless lives are finally gonna turn a bit juicy..."
Some unknown place on the earth:
? ? ? P.O.V:
"This gotta be a fucking joke...!"
I looked at the flyers that said, 'Inter-species Cultural Exchange Program'...which was a result of the constant meetings between my mother and the humans. Nope, actually...it was the result of my own deed in last year when I went to rescue my mermaid friend Lindi. And that's why, my mother put ME into that event.
"There's nothing to stress about, princess. Her Majesty is intellectual enough and she made these attempts after deep thinking, everything will be fine." Me and my mother's horse guard said.
"But Zord, it doesn't make any sense if you think it rationally. Why should we trust humans who think us only as monsters? Well, we're monsters but they always represented us as the roots of all evil." I groaned in annoyance, "But they have no problems to get along with those alien beasts just because they fought some demons! If the humans had never despised us, then the earth wouldn't have needed those aliens or whatever the hell they are!"
"This is why, your mother asked to involve the Mobians, I mean the anthropomorphic animals from planet Mobius you just referred as aliens."
"Yeah, and she just made things worse by doing that!" I snapped, "I'm worried for Phelix, she got a Mobian with two humans, right?"
"Yes, I was present there. But, don't worry. The humans, with who Miss Phelix will be staying, seemed very welcoming and adoring toward her. The Mobians are supposed to reach the residential quarters when the program would officially start next week, so we haven't met her third partner yet. But as far as I've known...it's going be a bird Mobian, or precisely a hawk if I remember correctly." My centaur bodyguard informed.
Now, I became a bit soft to hear that. "Have you got to know about my soon-to-be housemates?"
"Unfortunately, I have not been able to know that yet. Other than Miss Phelix and Miss Ceska, no participants are aware that the princess of the liminals is attending the inter-species cultural exchange program. Therefore, the identities of your future partners are still unknown...Her majesty kept it all confidential to herself." Zord replied.
"Ugh! Mom can be really annoying!" I groaned.
"She is just worried about you, princess."
"But she knows that I can take care of myself...I can fight, I'm speedier than any kind of living being, I even managed to rescue Lindi. But mom still thinks me as a child. By the way Zord, I forgot to ask something. Did you or mom find out anything about the evil liminals...who're the actual ones that killed humans?"
I could see the horse's expression changed. But he said anyway, "The only fact, we've known that they're from insect species."
"Like...an arachne?"
"Princess...may I ask how did you manage to be aware of this?"
"Once I overheard some discussion of mom's one of the meetings with the ministry. They said about an arachne who had been a threat for both humans and liminals for decades."
"Ye-yes." My bodyguard seemed tensed now, "That's why we're suspecting that the human executions were done by her or some of her allies. This is also a reason for your mother to offer peace to humans through this program, so that we, the humans and the Mobians cooperate in future to prevent the evil ones."
"That makes sense but...I just wanna get this 'Living with strangers event' over ASAP." I sighed.
"Don't worry, princess." The centaur finally gave a reassuring smile, "I'm sure Her majesty selected the right partners for you."
"Ew, don't keep saying 'partners'. It sounds all wrong." I blushed a bit, "But I won't mind if they're some cute young human boys."
"Speaking of that..." Suddenly Zord looked kinda confused, "...even though, I have no idea who're going to be your housemates, yet I'm not being sure...if they've been selected from the humans..."
"Eh?"
"Here we're, hedgehog!"
Me and my bodyguard's conversation was interrupted by my three friends. Including me, a number of my friends and allies were supposed to be sent for the inter-species cultural exchange program. Apart from Lindi, my closest friends are Phelix and Ceska. Phelix is a harpy, a liminal creature with human head and torso, but she has wings instead of hands and legs like birds. Her hair and feather are light blue and eyes are purple and she is shorter than even me. She is very shy, cute and innocent, that's why I was worried for her. Ceska is a lamia, a snake liminal with a human woman's upper body. She has black hair, golden eyes and enormous golden snake's lower half instead of legs. She's larger than two of us and stronger. She got a young human guy as her host in the interracial socialism event and because of her lascivious nature, I would say she was rather lucky to join the program. And finally Lindi the mermaid, who I went to rescue, was a sweet and caring friend, having salmon pink colored fishy lower body with strawberry blonde hair, green eyes and human girl's torso. Because of the kidnapping incident, Lindi was feared of the humans so mom did not allow her to attend this inter-species program until she got over her trauma. We all are blessed with enticing curvy bodies which is actually a 'liminal' thing.
"Welcome." Zord greeted them before leaving for my mother, "Her majesty will be needing me. Enjoy yourselves, princess."
After gossiping about trivial matters, it was Lindi who brought the topic that was actually going to change the fate of us liminals.
"So...when are you girls leaving?" She was sad, so were we. We would not be able to hangout with her for months.
"Mom said this weekend would be our last here." I said, "Linds, tell me if you wanna join. I still can convince her."
"It's alright, Sierra." She assured, "I need some time to get over the last year incident. Besides, I think I'll have no problem when we'll be living in cities with humans after this program. Anyways, tell me about your housemates. Ceska, you first."
"As I said you before, it's a single guy." The lamia winked, "He is Japanese, name Hikaru Kurosowa. Pretty nice, I must say. Besides, one of his neighbours got more than one liminals. So, I'll have to keep an eye on them too."
"That sounds like a task. But won't be boring, I guess." I remarked.
"Now, your turn." Lindi said to our harpy friend.
"Okay...Mr. and Mrs Nelson are newly married couple. They like nature and animals very much and researching on various species of birds. They really appreciated us liminals for cooperating with humans and thanked our queen for taking the initiative. I think it'll be fine."
"Phel...you missed something." Ceska smirked.
"Uh, well..." I saw Phelix blush, "I'll have another housemate, who's coming from planet Mobius. His name is Jet, and he is an anthropomorphic hawk and is into skateboarding. That's the only thing I've known from his profile."
"Hmm...he sounds cute." Lindi smiled.
"I-I don't know...I haven't met him yet!" My harpy friend blushed like crazy.
"Also, skateboarding guy sounds sporty, and sporty guy means hot!" My pervert lamia friend added fuel in the fire. "Next mating season is going to be exciting for you, Phel!"
Phelix almost wanted to fly away in embarrassment. "Shu-shut up, Ceska!"
But I went gloomy suddenly, because mating season is only a disappointment for me. Among all the liminals, me and my mom are a kind that is the most different species. Apart from us, no other rodent liminals exist in our area. I might have ended up screwing bunny boys, if I had not witnessed a bunny girl getting fucked by her mate few months back. I was somehow disgusted to see the way they were doing that and told Ceska about it. She was 'experienced' with humans as lamias are mono-gendered. She asked me to hold back my virginity until I found some liminals from my own species or at least similar kind, such as echidnas or porcupines. According to Ceska, except for few cases, mating usually should be happened between equal or closer species because that's how you can give and take the highest pleasure from your partner as you will know about their weak spots. It is entirely biological science. Unfortunately, liminals out of our kingdom were very rare to find and rodents were out of questions. My mother did not have much problem because of her age and duties as the queen. But my young blood and hormones always used to go nuts during mating season. To the worse, I started to find human guys attractive and even attempted with a young human, once when Ceska was screwing him, but pathetically, he rejected me...thinking a kid, (-_-') despite of my large breasts...well, actually they are nothing compared to my sexy snake friend.
"Sierra...Sierra... Hello, princess hedgehog!"
I was back into reality when Lindi snapped her fingers beside my ears. "What have you been thinking so deep? I was asking you for a while about your housemates."
"Actually...the only person who knows that, is the Queen Majesty! Not even Zord could find out that yet." I frowned, "I guess, I'll just have to depend on theories...whatever we've learnt about human entities."
"Don't worry, Sier." Phelix embraced me by her wings, "You know that you can handle anyone and anything."
"Thanks, Phel." I cheered up, "But I'm hoping for a human boy, who'll see me as a girl, not just as a creature. I already told mom about my choice. She should consider it."
But Ceska unlikely gave a serious look, "Sorry to disappoint you princess, but you ain't gonna get anyone like that. The infos about your housemates are confidential because they are not any random people."
Wow...the snake liminal might be pervert but intelligent. But I sadly rubbed my temple, "Thanks Cesk, for waking me up from dreamy sleep. Congrats to me for having human grandparents or uncle-aunts."
"Oh hedgie girl..." Ceska tenderly coiled her tail around me to comfort, "Did your brain sore from overthinking about human boys? When we entered your room, I heard what Mr. Zord was saying. Shouldn't you get that already? If it were any human, then your mom would've introduced them to you by now. Confidentiality only means that it will be kept between you guys, not that you can't meet them."
"Look snake-girl, you're undoubtedly smart, but if you heard the slightest thing from mom or anywhere else...then spill the beans." I impatiently said. "I know that's not impossible for you."
"No, I didn't hear anything at all. It's all hypothetical, but is the most likely scenario..." The lamia finally made it clear, "Sierra, you ain't gonna like this, but it's pretty much obvious that your housemates aren't any human. So, it must be those aliens that you hate. This is why, your case is confidential, for one, you're the princess, and for two, your mom has possibly selected those particular Mobians for you, who fought the demon group Materix last year. As far as I heard, those specific aliens are pretty popular in U.S. So, if they attend this inter-species cultural program on behalf of Mobius, then it'll be kept secret for their sake."
Even though, Ceska claimed it to be a hypothesis, I knew most of my lamia friend's assumptions came true since she always made her opinions logically. I also realized that if I calculate the situations myself, then Ceska's guess was going to be correct once again, my housemates for next few months would not be any human, but alien animals. I dropped my head down to rest on the table as I faltered, "Is there anymore bad news left that I need to hear now...?"
"Are you okay, Sierra?!" Both Phelix and Lindi went tensed to see me like that.
"Mom did announce that this cultural exchange program is for us to get along with humans, right?! Then why would she set this up for me?!" I groaned while still keeping my head on the table, "Everyone else has got at least one human in the program, except me! This was a rare chance for me to get closer to humans to find a partner! Instead, she is gonna get me some outsider creatures, just because they managed to defeat some demons by their fucking power or something! But that doesn't mean they're more reliable than humans."
"You're overreacting, princess. And yes, apparently for you, those Mobian hero hogs seem more reliable." Ceska coldly spat, "Because after what you did last year, your mother is certainly not going to entrust you on humans."
"I understand that, but-...wait!" I caught a phrase from what she said lastly, "Did you just say...'Mobian hero hogs'?!"
"You were busy planning to rescue Lindi, so you probably didn't know that it was two hedgehogs, a blue and a black one, who actually got rid off the demons last year. Didn't you realize why Phelix got a bird Mobian? Same species, right?" Now the snake girl finally smiled leaving me in utter shock, "You know how much your mother loves you, she always got you the best things. Then of course...
For our hedgehog princess, who else would be better housemates other than the Mobian hedgehogs who saved the world from being destroyed?"
Good thing was that I did not explode after hearing that.
