Author note: I just couldn't continue the other fanfics I don't know why! Powerful writer block! And I really wanted to write something funny for a change too! I was around 6k words before I had to cut it into half for the first chapter! The other chapter is not finished So I won't release it at once. Plus, I also want to know what you guys think of this. Its inspired by several of other fanfics! I will give a small peek of the next chapter below. And yes this is a sonadow (lets include lancelot in that word too) M rated for reasons and to stay safe. ENJOY!
Sonic don't remember last time he was "this" bored! Seated on the throne as if he had been glued on the spot staring at the empty hall. Yes, he was already sick and tired of being king.
He was now ruler of the land he saved from tyranny known as Camelot with the aid of a magical sword Caliburn. Why? As the wielder of the Caliburn he got declared as the rightful ruler as Arthur.
Of course his voiced opinion went down in pure defeat. But instead made it clear that he would leave as soon as possible. Meaning waiting for Merlina to finish her preparation spell. A week has passed and nothing….
"Have patience my king..!" Sonic muttered to himself as everyone around him liked to repeat.
Nope that patience didn't even exist in his vocabulary. He tapped his index finger on the armrest. He could only think of one person that could without effort endure this. Knuckles the famous guardian of the never moving rock Master Emerald. The respect grew…just a bit.
A groan echo in the room, he missed home…He could only take comfort in the fact that the knights and smith looked literally like his friends from the home world. Only a few minor problems….He kind a mixed them up, but it was improving! Spending a week making the same mistake was frustrating. At least it occurred less as days passed. Overall rarely met the knights to his disappointment maybe that's why….
They were very "busy" following the knight schedule. Whatever that means.
Nor did they ask for his assistance as they didn't require it. Asking him for aid was like a taboo it seemed. When he was a knight or knave they sure asked him to a lot of nonsense. He would rather collect thousands of rings in a swimingpool than this and that's saying something!
At least he didn't wear that silly crown that just messed up the quills. Poor crown faced a dumpster accident who would have thought.
His blue ears perked at the sound of Caliburn unsheathing himself to levitate in front of him.
"Sonic perhaps it's time to take the responsibility as the king and lead your people?" The sword suggested in concern. Sonic however shook his head in annoyance.
"I am just a king for the time being." He reminded while the sword however wished to protest.
"But..your people don't think so…" The hero frowned he just didn't want to be tied down and owning a title as a king sure did just that!
"I am not a king." Sonic replied impatiently as he swatted the sword aside like he was an annoying fly. Caliburn wasn't to surprise of the reaction. He was after all the whole reason this even happened. The sword let out a small sigh as he returned to the sheath.
Great now his mood sure went downhill! Might as well think of something else that annoy him. Oh right Lancelot! He was the one that hindered him from taking his daily runs! If it wasn't for him then maybe he would be in a better mood.
That knight is a replica of Shadow the hedgehog. Spoiler alert! Also have the exact same abilities as him. Difference..? He depends on his sword Arondight more than anything. The chaos abilities are not even near as good as Shadows. Overall own similar personality greatly improved attitude and more social? Well…the last part might not be accurate. But this one gives him a respectful approach.
The other two knights Gawian and Percival also acted in similar manner. A knight code perhaps?
His thoughts got interrupted by the main door that opened. It caught his full attention and almost burst out screaming.
"FINALLY!"
"My majesty the Knights wish to enter." The guard said who had been patrolling the area along with another.
Sonic face lit up in impish glee! Was it time!? Where they here to escort him to Merlinas tower and finally go home!? He was beyond excited!
The guard was uncertain if he should reflect the king's mood but allowed a small smile to show.
"Permission granted!" Sonic said as he got out from his seat. The guard bowed before he fully opened the door for the knights to enter.
There taking front was Lancelot followed by the other two Knights. They stopped in a V line and went down on their knee.
Ugh…Sonic hated that greeting. Maybe he could ban that later? He was king right? But that would be using his title for once and he didn't like that thought either.
"Your majesty we found the source of disturbance and as we suspected. A group of thieves indeed resided there. We returned the gods they stole to previous owners. Situation settled you have nothing to worry about."
Lancelot said with his visor up for once meeting his emerald orb in a respectful gaze.
Sonic felt the excitement fade down into nothing. Status report…lovely. Silence stretched as they waited for his input.
A sigh left the king as he had no choice but to participate this never ending medieval lifestyle.
"And the thieves?" He asked uninterested eyes not even focusing on the knights.
"Dead my lord. We had no other option as they became hostile and refused to come quietly." Lancelot replied and found himself target by a very deadly glare from the usual carefree king. If it was something Sonic disapproved, then it was murder.
"On who's order." Sonic asked gritting his teeth Killing had to be the last resort. Lancelot paled as anger radiated from their king.
"Mine" Lancelot admitted and flinched as Sonic approached. His fists clenched and gave the other Knights a look over.
"Lancelot stay rest leave." Sonic ordered which surprised them all together. He had refused to do any of the sort. If he did it now it was serious, the previous king would have been satisfied. Sonic...not so much.
"As you command." They said in Union before getting up on their feet to leave the two alone. Lancelot had never felt fear in years until now. Those emerald eyes had never looked so intimidating.
"Get up." Sonic said with a still voice not entirely sure what to do. But letting this pass meant it would happen again wouldn't it? Not to mention didn't seem to cross Lancelot as wrong made it all worse. The knight got up on his feet bewildered.
"You seriously mean you and the rest of the Knights couldn't have quietly captured them?"
"My lord they were a threat to your kingdom it was effective. Your subjects needed an example to-"¨
"That wasn't the question!" Sonic snarled at the word "subject". The knight held his tongue feeling lost for the first time.
"We could have captured them..." Lancelot felt guilt overwhelm him. He should have known better this wasn't their previous ruler.
"Take it off." Sonic crossed his arms and tapped his foot impatiently.
"I beg your pardon?" Lancelot asked in confusion.
"Take off your armor and sword." Sonic ordered slowly losing his patience. Not only because Lancelot wasn't instantly cooperative or more precise comprehending. But for the fact of using his title against the other.
The knight wished to question the direct order but decided against it. He slightly hesitated as he loosened the helm before removing it. The freed quills tried to follow the movement and ended up pointing upwards after being released. His expression changed from confident to troubled. The knight only removed the armor for special occasions and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Without wasting more time, he placed it on the floor before changing focus to the chest plate. That however took more time than anticipated. But having a pair of emerald eyes scanning the progress certainly made it difficult.
After a lot of work, it was finally off. The fur was in a mess, especially the white chest fur.
If Sonic wasn't in a bad mood, he would find this humorous. Mainly because the knight looked like Shadow in a very roughed condition. (Which he didn't count on ever seeing.) The knight put down his sword that was still sheathed on his hip and placed it beside the helm.
"Keep the gauntlets and skates on." Sonic said before the rival look alike could tend to the rest attire. Unfortunately, Lancelot didn't know what the word "skates" meant.
"I am sorry my lord..but I am not aware of what this skates you are speaking of." The knight lowered his head in shame. Sonic sighed in annoyance as he pointed down to his footwear.
"You might call it something else, but I am referring to your shoes." Sonic said with a bored tone.
"Oh..of course…my sabatons." Lancelot blushed as he should have figured it out.
"Ah sabaton like the metal band." Sonic grinned at the new found information. Not that it had any remotely resemblance whatsoever. His comment however confused the knight whom had to confirm what he thought was a misleading fact.
"I can assure my lord it's not made of any kind of metal bands." Lancelot said not entirely sure what this mostly one-sided conversation was leading to. Sonic stared at him for an eternity trying to spot any hint of joke. Nope the knight was dead serious.
Sonic tried the hardest not to burst out in laughter but failed. Lancelot was beyond bewildered. He couldn't keep up with the fasted thing alive in many ways it seemed.
Sonic groaned between the laughter as the stomach started to pain him.
"You..you…say that and look just like him! That's too random!" He managed to say not explaining clearly what was so funny. Lancelot have never felt this lost and embarrassed. He clearly made a fool out of himself.
But the king was enjoying it that's a positive sign right? Sonic soon forced himself to stop but the impish grin remained.
"Right, right..back to the point" The hero cleared his throat almost forgetting why Lancelot was there.
The knight however surely didn't! The emerald eyes scanned the nervous form that was expecting the worst. Even if the king had just seconds ago seemed to enjoy his company.
The expression though entertained the blue blur more than he thought. Sonic scratched his muzzle in puzzlement of the newfound experience.
Of course he didn't expect to discover this, Shadow hardly showed any emotions. An evil grin crossed his muzzle, he knew exactly what the punishment would be.
Lancelot felt a shiver go down his spine. He knew that look! Scratch all fact about the hero! That couldn't be confused as anything else but life threatening.
"Alright Sir Lancelot I have a fitting punishment! Guess what!" Sonic said playfully which didn't even go cross the knight's thoughts. The ruby eyes diverted its focus to the floor in sadness.
"You wish to execute me." Lancelot said almost in whispered. Sonic grimace at the mere thought of it.
"No! Don't ever say that!" Sonic snapped making the knight flinch. How could this knight turn his mood so upside down so quickly!?
"Forgive me my majesty I-"
"Just remain silent!" Sonic interrupted before his emotional turmoil could get any worse. It was spreading from his chest and was near of taking a darker route. The feeling wasn't entirely foreign, no it was lying dormant. A side he swore to never release again. But upon the thought of the Shadow look alike dying by his hand made it threaten to switch.
The knight remained silent allowing the King to compose himself from the unwanted tumult.
Sonic took a deep breath as he closed his eyes for a short moment before he opened them again. All this lack of running and pressuring King matters have taken a toll on the hero. Damn mood swings!
But he was not going down with his decision it was going to help the tension he was suffering. Lancelot already proved to be capable of it whenever he knew it or not. Better reveal the news! But first clear up some things!
"I didn't order you to remove the armor to kill you. I want you to look at yourself and tell me what you see." Sonic snorted but felt for some reason satisfied as the Shadow look alike did as told. His ruby eyes scanned his body still confused and as he tried to put the puzzle together.
"I see an unprotected knight?"
"Wrong!" Sonic almost yelled and started to circle the exposed knight. Making Lancelot feel like a prey.
"..Sir I don't know." He admitted his eyes following the king as much as it could without turning his head.
"I see life. and you...you took that away from them something unreplaceable."
Lancelot felt shame flood him in realization. Of course
"You are not better than anyone else! Nor am I!"
"But-" Lancelot stopped as he received a glare. The knight gave up and nodded in acknowledgement.
"As punishment..." The impish smirk returned on the peach muzzle.
"You will not wear armor not that you need it and you will not do any knight duties and you will spend most of the time entertaining me." Sonic pointed his finger to his chest to make it more clear.
This would go against all Lancelot's habits and also make Sonic the fastest thing alive endure his time in Camelot!
Lancelot was at loss of words and kept his eyes on the King in puzzlement.
"What do I have something on my face?" Sonic rubbed his right hand on the cheek while the other rested on the hip.
"No my lord...may I speak my mind?" Sonic blinked at the request still not used to the polite attitude coming from his rival look alike.
"Sure go ahead."
"I find...this punishment rather...unusual." He said unsure how to put it.
"Depends on how you see it. What is the usual way?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Whipping is quite common and effective." Lancelot answered in a neutral voice. His ruby eyes studied the reaction of the King that got thrown into deep thought. Soon enough his muzzle turned red with corrupted thoughts that didn't wish to cease. Blasted pancakes!
"You thought...I would whip you.." Sonic said more than asked. While the blush just increased as unwanted thoughts flew left to right.
"Yes my lord."
Sonic felt like he just entered an inferno! Why would he say that!? Is he masochist?! The hero was not into that stuff! Or was he? Nope he certainly wasn't! But then again maybe..nope but perhaps…nope but what if..NOPE!
The hero tried to focus, tried that is. He cleared his throat while the thoughts went amok.
"As interesting as it sounds..." Sonic muttered lowly allowing images to escalate.
Lancelot paled as he gave his king ideas that could have been avoided!
"If you wish that can be arranged." Lancelot mentally face palming. Spending time with the King as punishment was an honor. Why did he even share his thoughts!?
He wasn't entirely surprised Sonic wasn't familiar with their world. He should have taken that into advantage.
Sonic suddenly froze as it finally clicked. Whipping as in…torture.
"OOOOooooh. I get it!" The king said in triumph. He was so happy Lancelot didn't possess ability mindreading.
"Nonono! I..I thought you meant something else. It has a second meaning where I come from." Sonic said praying it wasn't same here or he would make the situation more awkward than it had to be!
The knight fortunately was oblivious. He instead nodded understanding.
"I wasn't aware.." he replied and didn't get a chance to dwell into the matter before Sonic spoke up.
"I know but now we are going! Stash your stuff or whatever and let's go!" Sonic said cheerfully and threw the last images aside. But even then his muzzle was red which Lancelot decided not to comment on.
"...as you command.." Lancelot replied in hesitation, he couldn't understand where this cheerful side came from. As if Sonic had already forgotten the murder incident.
He was glad but slightly concerned as he picked up the armor knowing he wasn't going to wear it. The sword Arondight was already sending distressed signals. It did not wish to separate from its owner.
"Meet me at the gate or I leave without you!" Sonic gave a thumb up before he dashed off leaving the bewildered knight. The shockwave pushed him back almost dropping his belongings.
"Leave?..." Lancelot felt dread course through his veins. Their king going out from the castle unguarded! No he couldn't have that no he couldn't! The knight hurried to his courters literally threw his belongs into the room not caring if it fared well. All his concerns were on the careless King. He skated down the hallway quickly almost certain he broke a few pots on the way due to shockwave.
As he arrived to his dread didn't spot the cobalt hedgehog.
"Sir Lancelot!" Yelled one of the guards as he spotted him and seemed out of breath.
"I tried to stop the majesty from leaving but I couldn't keep up..." He panted whom probably didn't even reach out from the majestic garden before giving up.
"I will track him down." Lancelot said before he took off in a chase.
"Chilidogs chilliidogs where is the chilliidogs..." Sonic muttered as he slowed down to a halt on the citizens' rooftops. He had reached to the center of the kingdom. His eyes scanning any resemblance of a hotdog stand and muzzle sniffing for similar scent. He couldn't find anything remotely close to his disappointment. 'Maybe Lancelot know...' He thought semi regretting leaving without him.
But knowing the knight he would try to make him stay. The hero shrugged it off and jumped down to the mall surprising a few citizens nearby.
He instantly got full attention and here he thought throwing the crown into the dumpster would prevent that. Nope they recognized him fully and wide bright smiles spread among them. Sonic wasn't new to it but when they turned to bow he got uncomfortable.
"No it's fine no need to bow to me." Sonic scratched behind his head uneasy how to approach the crowd. Fangirls including fanboys would throw themselves on him but here they kept their distance in respect.
They stopped and didn't show any signs of leaving as if they were waiting for something. Sonic wasn't used to such tension. Usually he would give a thumb up before running off, but something told him to stay and say something.
To his relief Lancelot showed up with a small glare that quickly softened. Sonic swear though, this version of Shadow was the same but fueled with respect for the hero.
"My lord you shouldn't have left unguarded and without Caliburn." He carefully said not entirely sure how to speak with the new ruler. The mention of the sword made Sonic grimace before a confident smirk replaced it.
"I don't think I have to remind you of WHO I AM." The hero said playfully while Lancelot took it differently and got down on his right knee head down in shame.
"Forgive me your majesty! I didn't wish to offend you!" Sonic was close in bursting out in laughter. The lack of armor really made him look like Shadow. Oh gawd this will be more entertaining than he thought! Genius idea Sonic just brilliant!
Of course there was another reasons he wished him to be around. But that wasn't for anyone to know!
"I will let this slide." He played along and upon seeing a small smile on that usual serious expression made his gut flutter lightly.
The people awed the scene and took it as their king was showing kindness even though being insulted.
"Get up and let's have some fun." Sonic said before he pulled the Shadow look alike up on his feet. According to Sonic they been standing to long on the same spot, no matter how enjoyable the moment had been.
Lancelot didn't need to be told twice and joined Sonics side as they strolled down the mall. The crowd of people didn't approach thanks to Lancelot famous glare that Sonic didn't notice. But the hero was thankful nevertheless, he was tired of constant fame.
"Hey Lance have any good food in Camelot? Anything famous about." The knight wanted to correct the new found nickname but let it brush. Sonic have been awful kind to him these couple of minutes a nickname certainly wouldn't do any harm.
But if anyone else dared to call him that he would slit their throat open.
"The best food have already been served to you my lord." Lancelot reminded which everyone here considered luxury and high quality but for Sonic...not so much.
"Ew that bland boring fancy dandy food. I swear u are missing out more flavor than I can count." Sonic muttered missing his world food already. Lancelot could never get used to the way their king spoke. It always left him bewildered and hoped he wouldn't catch any of the sort.
"We also have..." Lancelot stopped not entirely sure if it was a good idea to suggest it. Sonic stopped and watched the knight in curiosity.
"We have Gal." Lancelot finished as he knew it was no way around it.
"What Gal? Gal as in girl?" Sonic asked surprised he would even suggest something…like 'that'.
"No Gal is a unique alcoholic drink made by the best developer of the world. It's famous in the trading market and can only be made in Camelot."
"Hhmm..you make it sound tasty have you tried it yourself?"
"As a resident of Camelot I must have tasted it. I Enjoy it and don't suffer the conditions that comes with it."
"Oh really? What so you can't get drunk?" Sonic chuckled not sure whenever to be jealous or not.
"No my lord my body reject any sort of toxic including alcohol."
"Why is that?" The hero blinked not to surprised.
"I am created by the mother of the lake blessed with abilities you have witnessed. I am the ultimate knight made to serve my you lord." Lancelot took opportunity to give the king a small bow as they stopped when a carriage crossed their path.
"Ah so you are the same.." Sonic mused in deep thought.
"Well since I stripped off your knight duties I will change that title to ultimate life form in the meanwhile." Sonic said proudly as if it wasn't remotely related to anyone in mind. Lancelot blinked confused of this new proclaimed title, although he had to admit it sounded more powerful and didn't mind it.
"Well let's try it out." Sonics smiled already excited with this so called famous drink. He didn't put any alcoholic in his system for many reason. But if he left Camelot without trying he would regret it! A bit wouldn't hurt right?
"Lead the way Sir Lancelot." Sonic said smugly as he patted the Knights back. Lancelot wasn't entirely sure but something told him he would regret this.
"My lord..one that isn't used to the drink will fall victim to the effects quickly."
"Hey! I am the fasted thing alive nothing can slow me down!"

Chapter 2 Peek!
"I am here to serve you until I no longer can." He replied with a sense of pride behind the words. Sonic however was surprised but soon gave a genuine smile.
"Can you promise me...?" He asked with a hint of sadness and need. The ruby eyes softened upon seeing this.
"I promise you Sonic the hedgehog. I will always be there when you need me. I will protect you from any harm I guarantee your safety. You deserve to be the ruler...my ruler." What came next was unspeakable their lips met.
