The Sleet Aleena Chronicles
Installment 1: The Bounty Hunter And The Queen
(A/N: Preceded by Painful Memories. This story will explain to my readers the background of one of the arguments in Painful Memories, for those who were curious.
Now, personally I never liked the comics, but they have a great number of fans, and some characters that were necessary to this story. So, I have done what few, if any, have been able to do. I have found a way to blend together all Sonic canons into one without going into alternate dimensions like in the comics. I have found a way to work this so that no detail from any canon is changed at all, or as far as I know. For those of you who are like me and don't like all the confusion and mix up of canons or can't decide which to write in, you know who your are, I may just have solved your problem. In future stories it will be delved into more.
What I'm leaning towards is, 'Sonic Underground' was first, [you'll see what I mean later,] then any games which had Sonic on his own. After that, the games with just Sonic and Tails, then the series, 'Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog,' followed by 'Sonic the Hedgehog' and the comics and games mixed up in whatever order you see fit, games, though, being last in general. In a future story you will see what I mean. That is, of course, assuming the one comic that actually had Sonia and Manic, where they mentioned alternate dimensions, was just a dream Sonic had and chose never to speak of again, unless in one future story you want me to describe what I mean. If you must know, yes, it will open up many more possibilities for pairing hints too.
For those who have read my first story, you will know that I take the game approach and drop multiple hints of multiple different pairings, popular and otherwise, despite having favorites of my own. All I need now is for those of you who find my story to tell me which characters I should group it under, since, as you can see from the title, the two I focus on aren't in the character list, and until I have an idea I won't mention any characters. Also, and this will be a minor spoiler for the story, should I have Chuck and Jules as Aleena's cousins, or brothers? If you're confused, don't worry, it will be cleared up. I will not put up the rest, though I have it down, until I get characters to group it under so that more people can find it without trouble. Besides, I have a Mario story to finish. Please, enjoy.)
Curiosity
Aleena gazed out her bedroom window, wondering what was to come. She had reunited with her children, but was it too soon? She feared nothing else more. Where was Sleet and Team Vile? Where was Eggman? What was their next scheme to be?
Team Vile watched and supervised the reconstruction of Eggman's Flying Egg Fortress. Sleet had said little to either Nack or Dingo. They looked curiously at him. Soon enough, though, Dingo seemed to understand. Fang didn't like not knowing. Finally, as he and Dingo were sitting and watching the proceeds, Fang questioned, "What's with Sleet?"
Dingo looked over to the wolf who was still watching the work with Eggman. Dingo hesitated, then replied, "I told you about them."
"I know what happened, but not why he's acting like this," Nack replied.
Dingo answered, "I don't know mate. You know everything I do. My guess is that something happened between them during their fight."
"Does he still love her?" Nack suddenly asked.
Dingo hesitated to answer, but he didn't need to. All at once Sleet was there, glaring at them. Both fell silent. After a moment, Sleet answered Fang's question, saying, "Love died long ago. I want to see her die a slow and painful death, her and her hedgehog brats. And when the time comes, I'll be more than happy to personally end them. Now focus on helping." With that he stormed away from them.
Behind him he heard Dingo say to Fang, in a rare insightful moment, "Believe me, it's best to just not mention her at all to him. He talks, we listen. He plots against her, we offer help, but never, ever, talk about her in any other way."
"I'm getting that," Nack grumbled, fiddling with his pistol. Sleet shook his head and looked up at the full moon overhead.
