(Ok, everyone! I'm back, with The Dragon's Curse. This is the sequal to Two Sides of Me, so if you haven't already read it, I suggest you do so now before we start. It'll help you understand this better. Ok, now for the disclaimer: I do not own Sonic or any of the canon characters in this story. I only own Blade, Claw, Mystic and Darkness. A special character who will be appearing later belongs to Nightmare the Dragon.
Now that that's done, let's do this!)
Prolouge: The Celebration
Mystic's POV
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, the Shifters and I were throwing a little bit of a party in the park a few nights after...the incedent. We knew a party would get our minds off of it, so we were just dancing and talking and having a good time in the park.
"You know, if it wasn't for you, we would've never gotten into that mess." Sonic told me. He patted my head and I smiled. "Well, at least I was able to get you back to normal." I replied. He chuckled and pulled me into a headlock, then started to give me noogies. "You're too modest, Mystic. You've gotta loosen up." He said. "Hey!" I said. I pulled myself out of his headlock and tried not to smile. But apparantly, that didn't work so well, because before I knew it, both me and Sonic were laughng our heads off and rolling around on the ground. "You really had me going there, Myst!" He said. "I know! That was almost as funny as when we gave that racist gift basket to Darkness."
Flashback
Sonic and I were putting together a little bit of a gift basket full of things that, stereotypcally, a demon would like. We went all out, we had raw meat, pentagrams, blood samples (which kinda creeped me out a little) and we were even able to slip a cheesy 1980 horror movie in there. But the icing on the cake was a greetng card from Halloween with a pair of vampires on the front, and we had crossed out "Happy Halloween!" and written "For Darkness, the feircest demon alive!" Then we stuck it to the basket and prepared to deliver it.
"You know, when he finds out we did this, we're gonna die, right?" I whispered to Sonic, who was holding the basket. He winked and sad "Trust me, this is going to be worth it." "If you say so..." I then used a spell to lift us onto the roof so we could leave the basket up there for Darkness when he finished his rounds. I also left a small hearing item nearby so we could hear his reaction to the basket. Then we went back inside.
Soon after that, we could hear Darkness land on the roof and walk up to the basket. "Huh...what do we have here?" He asked. We heard him going through the basket. "Cool! Movie! Deer steak! Blood!" He kept getting more and more excited with each item he found. Sonic and I were almost unable to take it.
Then Darkness got to the card.
"'For Darkness, the feircest demon alive!' Oooh, this guy sure knows a good demon when he sees one!" Then we could actually feel him flip the card over, because his voice changed. It quickly went from "Hey, this is pretty cool!" to "Oh! Oh!" At that point, we both burst out laughing. Then, we could actually hear him from inside, without the aid of the hearing item...
"RACIST BASTARDS!"
End of Flashback
"Yeah, that was pretty good." Sonic said. "We're goin' to hell, aren't we?" I asked him. "Yeah, pretty much." He responded. We both laughed again and stared up at the star filled sky. "Nice night." I said. "Mmm hmm." he responded. "So, do you know the constellations?" I asked. He shook his head. "I don't really care about that stuff. They're just stars." He said. "I know, but I still like to look for the constellations." I responded.
We laid there for a while, just talking, until eventually turned to look at each other. We scooted closer and he leaned in closer to me. I closed my eyes and prepared for what might happen. But, it turns out, I didn't need to wait long for something interesting to happen.
Darkness's POV
"Mystic! Mystic! Mystic! Mystic! Mystic!" I called as I flew up to her. Since I had flown here from a long ways away, and at a pretty high speed, my wings were so sore I could barely fly. I eventually crash landed in between Mystic and Sonic, which clearly wrecked their little party.
I got up and started panting. "What do you want, Darkness?!" Mystic asked me n annoyance. "This better be good." Knuckles mumbled from the sidelines. I took a deep breath and began my story. "This is very important! You know how I like to fly around the city at nght? Well, I was flying around in Shadow and Silver's neighborhoods, which I usually don't do. I'm not sure why I did it, but it happened. Anyways, was flying by, and-" "Just get to the point, Darkness!" Tails yelled at me. "It's Shadow and Silver! They transformed into-" We could hear two loud roars in the distance, and two large winged shapes, one black and one white, were flying towards us.
"...dragons!" I completed my sentance.
The two dragons soon landed in the park and began to breathe fire and swpe their long claws at us. I flew into ther faces to distract them. "Run! I'll keep them distracted!" I yelled down to them. But I was slammed down by the white dragon's claws and laid there, wounded and grounded.
Mystic's POV
When I saw the dragon knock Darkness down, Tails and Knuckles rushed at them to help Darkness and fight the dragons. Tails got Darkness to safety, but Knuckles had gotten burned by the black dragon's fire. He was able to escape underground. Both dragons looked at me and Sonic, and I held up my staff and prepared a spell. When they breathed fire at us, I released the spell, which created an icy sheild around us. I was about to prepare an offensve spell, but Sonic grabbed my wrist and bolted away with me.
"There's no time, Mystic! We have to get back and help the others!" He said. I wanted to protest, but I knew he was right. "We have to focus on the greater good for now, so let's just go." Soon, the Shifters, who had also been wounded, ran up with us, both of them had shapeshifted into Sonic so they could keep up. Eventually we reached a safe spot and began to care for those who had been hurt.
(...and that's where I'll leave it for now. Please tell me what you think of this new story!)
