Another story too work on its one of those stories were the characters complain about what role there playing all the main characters are in this chapter...almost
Way far back in time when there was no electricity and when there was castles and other stuff...
A 6 year old blue hedgehog was darting through the garden trying to find some kind of food young hedgehog was wearing old brown pants that was full of patches and a shirt thats a lighter brown but full of patches too. He was going quicker then normal which if any guards saw it could make him a slave or get him killed. "Sonic!" a woman called from the house her fur was a very pale blue with darker blue hair that was in ringlets. She was wearing a brown dress that was brown in the skirt area and white in the top area.
Sonic ran back over "Yes mother?" He said politely.
"You shouldn`t be outside right now i know you love to run sweetie but todays not a good day to do that its tax collecting day" She said.
Even at this young age Sonic knew how hard it was for his family to pay taxes they were poor and the crops weren`t growing this year. "Sonic go hide in the cabinent" An older male hedgehog said he was dark blue with quills spiked like his son he was wearing an outfet familiar to him. Sonic did what he said he know soilders sometimes took kids too train them to fight. He left it open a crack and watched as there was a knock on the door. Sonics mother opened it to reveal a couple of well dressed soilders "30 gold pieces" A man said.
"What thats 3 times more than last time!" Sonics father said.
"Kings rule when you live outside the village you have too pay more" The soilder said.
"We dont have enough to pay you" Sonics mother said bowing her head down.
"Well then..." The soilder said waving his hand forward and the soilders grabbed them.
"Hey what do you think your doing?" Sonics father shouted.
"You`ll be sentenced to death and your wife will be working as a servant" The soilder said.
"No!" Sonics mother shouted as they dragged her away.
Sonics father grabbed a chair and made it seem like he was swinging at the soilder actully throwing it blocking the cabinent so Sonic wouldn`t beable too get out for at least an hour. Sonics father was dragged away shouting "The king is evil using citazens taxes for his own selfish deeds!" Then the soilders covered his mouth silencing him.
Sonic was struggling trying to get the cabinent open to get to his parents it took him 40 minutes to get off. He dashed off to the town that was the only other place he knew how to get too. He ran barefooted holding his shoes he wore out every shoe he ever owned so he learned to run barefoot. He stopped behind a tree near the town and put his shoes on walking normal pace noone could know how fast he can run. He walked through the town looking around not many people were walking around and he couldn`t figure out why till he saw a huge crowd of people infront of him. Sonic pushed through the crowd using his small size to get to the front and gasped. It was his father his hands were tied in chains his mouth was bloody. Sonic didn`t know that they cutted his fathers tongue out he watched eyes wide in horror as his father walked forward putting his head down on one of those wooden head blanks. Sonics father looked forward and saw his son he mouthed dont watch.
Sonic of course didnt listen and watched the axe come down on his fathers neck slicing his head off "Dad!" Sonic shouted and fell too his knees crying.
"Thats a warning too all of you dont mess with the kingdom!" The soilders shouted before grabbing the body and the head walking away.
Sonic stood up wiping tears away from his eyes swearing he would make those soilders pay.
6 years later.
A 12 year old Sonic was walking through the streets he was wearing pretty much rags that were torn. He was going to visit the bakery the family that owned it were nice it was a husband wife and a little always gave him alittle cash and some bread if he did some odd jobs for them. Sonic suddenly stopped when he saw a light orange fox with green eyes he was muscular and was wearing black trousers and a gray button up shirt. Sonic found it weird that was the clothing of the rich why would a rich man be here? Sonic looked over and saw another fox much smaller about 3 or 4 he was obviously the mans son but he was wearing patched shirt and pants no shoes the clothing of the poor. "daddy please don't go!" the young fox pled.
"I need to for you and all of the kingdom" the older fox said hugging the boy. "don't go home stay near here if I'm not here by tomorrow seek out a home that you call your own" the older fox said before leaving the younger fox boy.
The fox boy fell too his knees crying Sonic walked over "Are you ok?" He asked.
The boy looked up sniffling "No my daddys gone" He whimpered.
"My dads gone too" Sonic said.
"He is?" Tails asked.
"Yeah...hey want to go with me to get somthing to eat?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah im Miles by the way" The fox now miles said.
"Im Simon" Sonic lied... "Wait hold it hold it hold it why am i calling myself Simon in the story?"
What the hell Sonic no breaking the fourth wall and i can`t tell you you have too go farther into the story.
"How is this related to Robinhood?" Miles asked.
Both of you shut up before i tell the girls what really happened to there expensive dresses you both ruined.
So the two idiots who were ruining the story for everyone continued on there story sweatdropping. "Come on" Sonic said tugging on Miles arm and pulled him along.
They were almost at the bakery when they were suddenly surrounded they were teenagers from the richer neighborhood they enjoyed picking on the poor and tormenting them the worst ways possible. Sonic growled and hid Miles behind him Miles blue eyes were wide clinging to Sonics leg. "Well isn`t it some street rats what should we do with them Eddie?" A brown cat with amber eyes wearing a fancy suit said.
"Hmm why dont we take them to the forest and treat them like the animals they are" A black rabbit with white ears said.
Before Sonic could react the rabbit took out a sharp bladed knife and sliced it across Sonics chest. Miles gasped and ran infront of Sonic "Leave him awone!" Miles shouted.
Sonic was about too push him back when the cat grabbed Miles by his tail and held him up "Hmm maybe i should cut his tongue out" The cat said about to open the fox`s mouth about too cut out his tongue when Sonic rammed into the cats stomach causing him to drop Miles.
Miles sat up and looked up at Sonic as he punched the cat across the face but the rabbit kicked him in the side causing the wind to be knocked out of him. Miles knew what to do though his father taught him not to show his second tail cause if the soilders saw they would take him and make him become a soilder or worst cut it off. Miles had his second tail hidden around his body tightly so noone could notice it but he revealed it and spun them till he could fly and flew up kicking the rabbit hard in the face. "Hey he`s a freak!" The cat shouted before getting spindashed by Sonic.
"There both freaks run!" The rabbit said and they ran off.
Sonic looked over as Tails hid his second tail "Oh wow you have a second Tail?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah please dont tell anyone" Miles said.
"dont worry i wont and i have a secret too my real names Sonic" Sonic said.
"Wow cool name" Miles said.
"Thanks but dont tell anyone i dont want people to know my real name by the way im going to nickname you Tails" Sonic said.
Tails eyes widened and he smiled nodding about to reply when Sonic fainted. Tails eyes widened and he saw that Sonics shirt was completley soaked in blood. Tails started too drag Sonic through the town when Vanilla glanced out her shop window seeing Tails and Sonic quickly running outside "Oh my what happened?" She shouted picking Sonic up.
"These two kids attacked us one of them slashed Swimon with a knife" Tails said.
"We better get him inside follow me" She said carrying Sonic inside and through the back taking off his shirt soaked in blood and grabbed some old cloth and wrapped up his wounds.
"Im having the bakery closed for today cause somthing bigs going to happen" Vanilla said as Tails sat on the counter looking around and looked up at vanilla.
She was a tan colored rabbit with brown patches on her ears and eyes with chocolate brown eyes. She was wearing a red dress obviously sewn together with an apron it was a nicer outfets that they have in town since the bakerys so succesfull she can buy fancier cloth. Sonic woke up feeling weak and seeing Vanilla above him "Looks like you got yourself into some trouble Simon you better rest here for tonight" Vanilla said.
Sonic would protest but he was feeling incredibley weak so he didn`t complain "Let me get you boys some cookies" Vanilla said walking to another room.
Suddenly a small bee flew in he was wearing a patched brown shirt and patched trousers. He flew over and sat on Sonics head Sonic looked up "Uh hello" He said.
The bee smiled looking down at Sonic honey colored eyes curious "Hwi Hwi Hwi!" He giggled.
Vanilla walked back in and saw the bee setting down the cookies she walked over to the bee and picked him up "Your supposed to be asleep" She said trying too sound stern but couldn`t pull it off.
"Whos that?" Sonic asked.
"This is Charmy his father wanted me to watch him for alittle while..." Vanilla said eyes clouding at the last part.
"Weres your husband?" Sonic asked.
"He`s off somewhere..." Vanilla said quietly.
"Theres somthing going on alot of the men from town are leaving including Miles father" Sonic said.
Vanilla looked around and whispered "There going to try to overthrow the kingdom there doing it today cause in 2 days a princess is going to move into the kingdom they say there going to kill the king and kidnap the prince the prince cant become king till he marries a princess" Vanilla said.
Sonics eyes widened "Overthrow the kingdom i want to help!" He said and Vanilla covered his mouth glancing around.
"Shh no your too young" Vanilla said.
"But they have down to 4 year olds join the army" Sonic whined.
"Simon i know its hard for you not to want to help but they dont want to involve children the rich are involved too its easier for them to sneak into the castle if there all dressed in the rich Charmys fathers rich but he dressed Charmy like the poor so they wouldn`t know who his father is" Vanilla said glancing at Charmy who was wacking a wooden spoon on the table howling with laughter at the sound.
Sonic glanced at Charmy then back at Vanilla "Do you think its going to work?" He asked.
"I hope so Simon i hope so" Vanilla said quietly.
"You know almost all flying creatures are rich they will figure out Charmys a child of one eventually" Sonic said.
"Yes but till his fathers back ill be raising him the same way im raising Cream speaking of i better check to see if shes awake from her nap could you watch him for 2 minutes?" Vanilla asked.
"Of course." Sonic said.
Vanilla walked upstairs and came back down with a rabbit that was similar to her except for one chocolate ring around her left eye and her eyes were a brighter chocolate color. She was wearing a pink dress with white in the front that must have taken awhile to have sewn. She set Cream down on the table next to Charmy "Ok Simon and Miles you can have the bails of hay in the attic sorry but we couldn`t afford more than one bed" Vanilla said.
"Its alright" Sonic said and both him and Miles headed up there falling asleep.
...
Walking down a stone hallway was a 14 year old boy he was a black hedgehog with an orange muzzle and red in his quills with red eyes he was dressed in fine clothes and was slicing a sword back and forth like his teacher taught him though he much prefered the bow and arrow. Suddenly he heard the sound of fighting and ran down the hall too see soilders fighting people dressed in black they were too close too his fathers room. He ducked down and quickly passed the soilders who let him through and ran into his fathers room. "Father father there attacking!" he shouted.
A older hedgehog that looked like Shadow but with gray mixed with his fur sighed "i knew this would happen someday soon son you must hide do not come out till the attacks over" The hedgehog said.
"What about you?" Shadow shouted.
"I will be fighting along side my soilders" The king said grabbing Shadows sword.
"but your too old!" Shadow said.
The older hedgehog gave a small dark smile "Yes but if i do die you must take over and if i do survive the peasants will be suffering dearly" He said before shoving Shadow into a hidden door behind the closet and locking it.
"The guards know about this room and will let you out!" The king shouted before shoving the closet infront of it.
Shadow started banging on the closet door listening to the fighting it wasn`t till a couple of hours later when the door opened. Shadow ran out and saw it was a guard "Weres my father?" He demanded.
The guard looked down shaking his head Shadow punched the stone wall hard not caring of the pain in his fingers afterwards. "Sir we have 7 prisoners the rest are dead" The guard said.
"Bring them here" Shadow said.
The guards walked out and back in there were 7 mobians all bloody from battle and had suffered many wounds. Shadow looked darkly at all of them "You all murdered my father" He said darkly.
"Your father deserved to die" Spat an orange fox (hmm familar) there was a slash across his face over his right eye that was closed his left eye glaring at the young hedgehog.
"He ruined this kingdom he turned the rich and poor agianst eachother" A bee said he had eyes that were almost black and walking with a limp.
"Well im going to make this kingdom worse for the poor" Shadow said darkly.
The others besides the fox bee and a black bat with white ears and light blue eyes started to beg on there knees. "Get up!" The bat shouted.
"Hmm take those three and put them in the prison 100 lashes on there backs each then bring them back here to be prepared for public humiliation" Shadow said.
"But first before dragging them out i would like too show them what they will wish that had happened to them" Shadow said walking towards the other four.
The first one who was bowing on the ground had his head sliced off by Shadow causing blood to splatter on anyone in the room. Then he stabbed the next one in the stomach causing the man too throw up blood then Shadow brought the sword through the mans heart killing him. The third one he sliced there neck and let them drown from chocking in there own blood. The fourth one he was slower with he stabbed his sword into the guys shoulder between the two bones popping them out of place then he easily was able too saw the mans arm off. The man screamed in pain and Shadow watched him whimper in terror and stabbed him through the throat. "Now you can drag those three out"
The soilders nodded dragging them out Shadow looked out the window and actully smirked "I was waiting for him to die naturally but now i can get married quicker" He said.
"Sir you cant get married unless the womans 16 it was one of the kings laws" A scholar that teaches shadow said.
"Well i could change the law" Shadow said.
"Sir the laws you cant change till your king only thing you can do right now is choosing punishment and how high the taxes go" The scholar said.
"Hmm well we better hope this princess is 16 then" Shadow said walking off.
The scholar sighed and headed out of the room too.
"Wait wait wait how will this turn out to be anything like robinhood?" Shadow said walking back in.
People stop breaking the damn fourth wall this is my version by the way for the readers too know they wont be having the name robin hood in it at all but the same concept.
...
Vanilla was walking through the town holding Cream and Charmys hands she knew if they did defeat the kingdom they would probrablly come back in the middle of the day when the entire towns out. So Vanilla was going to the tailors to buy some nice cloth when soilders surrounded anyone that was outside and started to lead them towards the middle of town. "What are you doing?" Vanilla demanded as the soilders shoved her and the two children too the middle of town.
"Oh you`ll see" The soilder said chuckling as everyone was hearded to the center of town.
Vanilla picked up Cream and about to pick up Charmy when she saw he was gone. "Charmy! Were he go?" She asked herself when she heard the crowd gasping.
Her eyes widened as three of the people that went to fight the kingdom were dragged through the town in chains. Vanilla recongnized Charmys father and started too move through the crowd trying to find the little guy. Meanwhile at the edge of the crowd Charmy was watching the whole thing when he saw this father he started to fly forward "Dwadda Dwadda!" Charmy shouted in happiness not old enough to know what the blood running from his fathers mouth and shirt meant.
Charmys father saw him and shook his head wishing they didn`t rip out his tongue he did somthing last night when he was held prisoner he shook off his helmet and dropped it without the guards noticing and kicked it over to the little bee that was flying towards him. Charmy saw it and caught it before he could fly forward agian he was pushed out of the way by a batgirl around the age 13 though her curves would make you think differently "Dad!" She shrieked when suddenly she was slapped hard across the face by an older gray bat "Dont you dare go after your father he`s a traitor and im glad too see him die" She said.
Both the girls were obviously rich the woman was wearing a red dress obviously woven from the finest fabrics the girl was wearing a skirt and a shirt both made of fine fabric and revealing. (Not in the 21st century revealing in a way long ago knees are revealing revealing.) "But mother!" The girl shouted and was slapped agian.
"Shut the hell up slut and watch" Her mother shouted now if a parent abuses her child the soilders find it entertaining so noone could stop it.
Charmy was sitting on the ground clinging to his helmet and he started to cry Vanilla found him and ran over picking him up "There you are i was so worried what happen..." Vanilla looked too see all three people standing in the middle of the crowd.
"Oh my" Vanilla said and covered Charmy and Creams eyes knowing what was going to happen next.
The prince walked up and said "Citizens today you shall pay for these people any families of these people shall pay an incredible tax but people unable to pay the taxes children shall become my slaves for the woman that are older...well try not too think about it" Shadow said darkly.
The citizens all gasped Vanilla held back tears she knew this meant her husband died in the rebellion. "Now you shall all watch as i punish these three!" Shadow said and the guards held them to the ground.
(This next part is not for the faint of heart)
The first thing he did was cut off there fingers slowly then the palm of there hands and used a torch to burn the knubs. Then he stabbed each of them in both eyes and had the guards break there legs. Afterwards he cut off the bat and bees wings the whole time Vanilla was moving to the back of the crowd so Charmy and Cream couldnt see. Finally he said "So beware all of you that think you can face me cause you cant" He said and took an axe and chopped all three of there heads off.
Vanilla finally escaped the crowd and ran as fast as she could to the bakery Sonic and Tails were mopping the floor "Whats wrong Vanilla?" Sonic asked seeing Vanilla in tears.
Setting the children down Vanilla broke down into sobs "My husband is dead they lost the rebellion the king tortured three animals infront of the town Charmys father was one of them" Vanilla said between sobs.
Charmy was hugging a helmet and Tails walked over "Whats that?" He asked.
Charmy didn`t say anything he just hugged the helmet like it was a stuffed animal. Sonic walked over and saw somthing inside it he picked up a note and read it "Dear Charmy when you are old enough to read this i will have been dead for years i want you to have a pure heart dont let anger take over you i hope that someone stops the kingdom when you are older im sorry your mother died from the illness when you were little you have her eyes i hope Vanilla is still watching over you her husband died an honorable death" Sonic said seeing Vanilla and Tails were watching him and he continued to read.
"P.S this helmet is a family heirlume you have no shame if you were this"
Sonic said he looked over at Charmy who put on the helmet it was a knight helmet but it was obviously rounded and painted black the area that covered the face was ripped off too. "Tomorrow the soilders are going to come and tax any familiy of the people that had attacked the castle" Vanilla said.
Sonic stared at his feet thinking of all the families that were going to pay for this winter would come by and many would die from hunger his eyes widened having an idea. Tonight he was going to steal food clothing and anything he could from the castle and give it to the poor.
...
A chariot was heading to the castle a young pink hedgehog girl was looking out the window she had long pink hair and green eyes she was wearing a dark pink dress with long seethrough sleeves her hair was braided in a pink ribbon. She was about 12 years old "Why do i have to live here" She said to herself.
"Because princess you have an older sister in the other kingdom so she insisted on staying" Said a purple cat with white stripes and green eyes who was wearing a lighter purple dress she was her tutor who would be moving with her to the kingdom.
"I still dont know why you insisted on bringing the trainee servant" The tutor continued looking at a young plant girl sitting next to Amy she had short green hair and the flowers in her hair wouldn`t be blooming till shes 13 she had on a green dress and darker green shoes with a green hat covering her eyes she had said nothing this entire trip.
"Shes not my servant shes my assistent trainee she wont be like the other servants in the castle shes my friend" The hedgehog girl said.
"Fine" Her tutor sighed.
The hedgehog girl watched the castle get closer and closer "Look Cosmo" The girl said.
The plant girl looked up from her hat to reveal her blue eyes and stood on her tiptoes to look out the window "Wow its beautifull but whys that tree burnt" Cosmo asked.
The hedhehog girl looked over and saw the burnt tree "I dont know" she said.
...
Shadow looked out the window in shock "There coming a day early!" He shouted.
The servants heard him and started to run around the cooks started the meal they were preparing for the feast they got a message for three rooms one for a very young child one more a girl near her teens and one for an adult full of books. Shadow stood outside in new clothes and waited watching as the chariot arrived and the three girls climbed out. Shadow stared at the princess "Your twelve?" Is the first thing he shouted.
The hedgehog girl glared up at him "Yes i am" She said putting her hands on her hips.
Shadow and the girl glared at eachother till the tutor said "We need to unpack good sir" She said.
"Oh yes of course whats your names?" Shadow asked.
"Im Natilie thats the princesses "Assistent in training" Cosmo and of course this is princess Amelia" Natilie said.
"Hmm well we have your rooms prepared you came earlier then we thought you would so dinner will be alittle late" Shadow said.
The tutor nodded "Good i need to teach Ameila and her friend a few things about being lady like" She said and they led them through the castle.
"This is going to be boring" Amy whispered to Cosmo.
They were led upstairs through the room and Amy wondered how she was going to survive the rest of her life in this place.
...
It was the middle of the night as the castle a mysterious shadow went through the castle. It went through the walls into the kitchen first noone was there it gathered bread fruits meats and cheeses. Then it zoomed through the castle and got different types of threads so they could buy clothing then finally headed to the room were they kept the gold. He did a spindash through the door and started too collect gold in his bag till it was too heavy for him. He opened the door ad walked through the shadows till he crashed into someone. He looked too see it was the prince himself! He grabbed his bag and dashed off at super sonic speed. Shadow opened his eyes just intime too see a blue blur dashing away "Guards intruder in the castle!" Shadow shouted before running off the direction the mysterious figure ran.
...
Amelia was pretending to be asleep cause Natilie tended to check on her in the night though she couldn`t she was homesick she didn`t like her family but she was allowed to visit the kingdom. She suddenly heard a sound of a door opening and closing and the sound of someone talking "Damn it i cant believe it! i need to get these to the villagers so they dont starve after they collect the taxes" The voice muttered.
Amelia opened her eyes too see a blue hedgehog with green eyes wearing all black clothes. She sat up and the hedgehog looked over wide eyes "Oh no please dont scream" He said.
Amelia climbed out of bed wearing her silk nightgown and walked over "Im not going to scream but your going to be in trouble in a second". Amelia said listening to the guards coming.
"Could you help me?" The male hedgehog said.
Amelia paused for a moment thinking then nodded "Yeah theres a tree near my window hope you can jump far" She said.
"I can thanks by the way im Sonic" The blue hedgehog now Sonic said.
"Im princess Amelia" Amelia said.
"Huh kinda a girly name and despite the dress you arent that girly i think ill call you Amy" Sonic said.
"Huh i like that name" Amy said.
Sonic grinned and used sonic speed to jump out the window carrying the bag and Amy sat down on her bed thinking it might not be so boring around here after all.
