Hello again, everybody! Now, please take note of this! ENJOY!
Welcome to my latest fanfiction piece, Daughter in the Dark. I know what you're thinking, where the hell did this come from? What's that, it's not based on Sonic and Amy? Well, that's because this fanfiction piece was actually a request sent in by ULTIMATECCC. So bear with me, I'm new to this one!
When I started writing about Tikal I wasn't overly familiar with her character so I looked her up and decided to interpret her history into the story. However, in order to make the story work I've made a few alterations to the history, nothing major of course… actually I'm pretty sure it's like one thing? Anywho, keep an open mind!
Peace out! xx
In turn, her grandmother's son, her father, Pachacamac, took over as chief of their tribe. He had a very different approach to leading their tribe. He directed his people into a series of violent battles with neighbouring countries to fulfil his ambitions. Tikal, still grieving over the loss of her grandmother and staying true to her beliefs, opposed her father's ways.
Days would come and go when she couldn't bear to be in her father's presence so she would flee to be alone and in peace. She eventually came across the Altar of Emeralds before befriending a beautiful chao colony who kept her company all day long. Soon after, she befriended Chaos, and over time she gained enough of her trust to enter the inside of the altar where she discovered the chaos emeralds and Master Emerald. She now fully understood everything her grandmother had taught her, and this is where she continued to come when she needed to leave her father.
There came a day when Tikal discovered her father and his men planned to break into the altar and steal the chaos emeralds, along with the Master Emerald. She pleaded to her father to reconsider, but it was no use, he was too determined to destroy all neighbouring countries. In fear, Tikal consulted Chaos and told her to leave only for the young echidna to discover that it was impossible. She promised the Chao colony and Chaos that she would talk to her father again and she wouldn't let them down. Despite her many attempts to stop her violent father, it got to the point where Tikal stood outside the altar in order to stop him and his men.
He tried to make her move, but she refused. Eventually, they trampled over her, rendering her unconscious. When she came to, she was to learn that her father and his men had angered Chaos by attempting to destroy the altar, to which they succeed. Chaos, in an uncontrollable rage, killed Pachacamac and almost the entire Knuckles Clan.
Tikal knew the only way to stop her friend was to conceal Chaos in the Master Emerald, so the rest of the world could finally live in peace and harmony. She turned to the Master Emerald, using her grandmother's mantra and her spirit as a catalyst, sacrificed herself to seal Chaos away in the Master Emerald, along with herself and the remaining members of her tribe to protect them from the neighbouring countries.
This is where Tikal the Echidna remained for four thousand years…The heinous Doctor Eggman eventually awoke Chaos, and in turn Tikal and her tribe, and used her power for all his evil plans. Chaos didn't remember Tikal, and there was nothing the young echidna could do to stop the evil doctor. There wasn't even anything she could do to make Chaos remember her.
So now, she lives with the remains of her tribe in Mystic Ruins, always keeping a close eye on the Master Emerald. She sometimes comes across a chao or two, maybe even an entire colony from time to time. It reminds her of the days when she was real, a real girl, not just a reincarnated spirit. She still lives according to her grandmother's ways, but four thousand years later, she feels she is missing something… something is wrong. She wants to know what she's missing out on…
