I am sorry but this one is going to be a long chapter. Hope you like it! My own version of Sonic and the Black knight. All told in Maria's point of view. I made Maria the main character of this and she will be doing most of the stuff Sonic would normally do. So I am sorry if I upset major sonic fans with that.

And if aliciathewolf45 and .399 are reading this I would like to thank them for looking over my work and hopefully I have their support with this. Please guys review if you have any personal thoughts about it. And aliciahewolf45 I know you like shadamy but this is a shadria story but I still hope you like it anyway. And .399 I would like to say to you that I hope you like this as well and that I wish you luck with your story. ;)

enough of my blabbering for now though. EEENNNNJJJOOOYYY! :D

Chapter 1

Leaving

I am Maria Robotnik, princess of Camelot, 23 years old. Yet I am more than just a princess, I am the messenger between Arthur and the Lady of the Lake, as well as a ranger, and the one who pierced Excalibur into the stone and made sure that only the true king of Camelot should be able to pull it out, which happened to be my now 15 year old cousin Arthur.

It has been a few years since Arthur was crowned king and everything is going very well so far. He has taken good rule and was blessed with reliable knights, my younger brother Sir Galahad(Silver), the idiot Sir Larmorak(Jet), Percival(Blaze), Sir Gawain(Knuckles), and the strongest of all and closest to Arthur, Sir Lancelot(Shadow).

I am standing outside on top of a hill under a tree looking out over the empty meadow, thinking about Lancelot. Him and I have gotten extremely close lately. It seems that every time I am around him, my heart stops and I am left feeling like he is the only one I am meant for. I think I'm in love, but I doubt that he feels the same way. Though he does come to me for advice a lot. Soon I hear footsteps come up behind me. I turn around to see that it is Galahad.

"Maria, the Lady of the Lake requests that you come to see her immediately." He said.

"Did she say what for?" I asked.

"No, I only got word from her saying she wishes to see you as soon as you have a moment. It sounds important though." Galahad answered.

"Alright, I will go see her now. Thank you Galahad." I said walking off.

I head up to the castle and walk into my room and change into my ranger outfit, grab my bow and quiver and put them both on my back and I grab my belt and sword sheath and tie it to my waist. Once I have everything I need equipped I grab my sword Caliburn, who awakens in surprise from me picking him up and putting him in the sword sheath at my side.

"Where are we going?" He asked as he noticed that I am not in my princess wear.

"The Lady requests our presence." I answered walking out the door.

"Ah, so I see we are going on an adventure." Caliburn said sounding pleased.

"Yes Caliburn, we are." I said already annoyed with him.

I am walking down the main hallway of the castle, and not paying attention I run into Lancelot. Once I gather my footing I found myself feeling as if my heart stopped again as I look at him. As usual I do my best to hide the fact that I am uneasy about how I am feeling around him.

"I'm sorry Lancelot." I said as I was watching him try to fix his helmet which was knocked out of place when we collided.

"It's alright, no harm done." He said struggling with his helmet.

"Here let me help you." I said putting my hands on his helping him straighten his helmet upright, once it was fixed I lift up the front of the helmet so he can see me better.

"Thank you," He said, "I swear this thing is getting on my last nerve."

"I can see how it would get irritating." I said laughing a bit.

"Where are you headed?" He asked noticing that I am wearing my ranger outfit.

"The Lady wishes to see me." I answered, noticing that he was making eye contact with me, making me melt on the inside even more than I already am, feeling as if his red eyes were looking into what I was thinking, hoping that he can't see what I'm feeling.

"Oh, well be careful. There are a lot more enemies out in the woods than usual." He said with a bit of concern in his voice.

"I will don't worry." I said.

"It's my job to worry, it wouldn't be any good if our princess were to go missing." Lancelot remarked with a smirk.

"Yes, but I am not your average princess now am I?" I said with a smile.

"Please just be careful." He said again, his voice calm but stern.

"I will." I said and walked off.

A few hours went by and I was walking through the woods when I saw a group of knights of the underworld. A group of more than usual, normally there would be only a group of two or three, this was a group of five or more. Soon I find myself surrounded by the group and I fight my way out. Once there is one more knight of the underworld standing, him and I get into a one on one combat. I start swinging Caliburn in defense from the knight's random attacks. I didn't get to dodge a couple of his attacks in time and he slashed my cheek and gave me a split lip. After a while of fighting I finally defeated the knight and I continued my way to the lady of the Lake.

Soon I finally make it to the lake and the Lady was already waiting for me.

"Thank goodness you're here, I was getting worried." She said.

"So what is going on… what is it that is so important?" I asked.

"Everyone has been seeing knights of the underworld in outrageous numbers, more than usual." The Lady answered.

"I noticed that. But why though, why are they increasing in number?" I replied.

"They are after the scabbard of Excalibur." She said.

"The scabbard?!" Caliburn said jumping out of his sheath and stands up on his own.

"Yes, they know that Arthur will be getting it soon." The Lady said.

"If they are after the scabbard then that means… they must be planning an ambush on Arthur and you." I said.

"Yes, this is where you come in." The Lady started, "I need you to go and figure out exactly what they are planning, and once you figure out what they are planning then I need you to go into the forgotten realm and meet the oracle, she will know what you need to do."

"Alright, is there anything else I need to know before I go?" I asked.

"Well you already know that once you enter the forgotten realm time travels differently, time is shorter in that realm so however long you are there will mean a very long time period here before you come back here." She answered.

"Yes I am aware." I said bidding the Lady farewell and walking off in the direction of the hideout where the knights of the underworld are.

"You are always aware of everything." Caliburn remarked.

"Are you going to make your stupid comments the whole time we are gone?" I asked sounding annoyed.

"They aren't stupid comments, they are remarks that I make that YOU just find annoying." Caliburn said.

"Well that's because they ARE annoying!" I shouted.

"Oh so you find me irritating?" Caliburn asked.

"Yes actually." I said.

"Well that's very nice to know." Caliburn pouted.

"I thought you already knew that I find you irritating." I said.

"Maybe it slipped my memory." Caliburn said.

"Oh dear lord." I said burying my face in my hand.

"And the journey begins." Caliburn said.

"Would you just stay quiet for five minuets!" I said.

"What if I don't want to be quiet." Caliburn said trying to test my patience.

I didn't say anything more and just made my hand into a fist and punched Caliburn's hilt as hard as I possibly could.

"OUCH!" Caliburn shouted.

"That's what you get for not staying quiet." I said smiling.

"Fine! I'll stay quiet." Caliburn pouted and went to sleep.

It has been a few months and we have been in the forgotten realm for a while now and were on our way to see the oracle.

"I wonder how long we have been gone?" I said to myself.

"Who knows, this realm is full of mysteries." Caliburn said.

"True, I'm just worried about Arthur, I mean, what if the knights of the underworld got to him and the scabbard?" I said sounding worried.

"Well the most we can do right now is get to the oracle and see what she has to say." Caliburn said.

A few hours have passed and I finally made it to the oracle's hideout and walked inside. The oracle looked up to see me standing in front of her.

"I was wondering when you would get here, I have been expecting you." She said.

"So what do you suggest that I do to stop the knights of the underworld from getting to Arthur?" I asked.

"You must blunt the power of the scabbard with the three sacred swords, the scabbard is what makes the knights of the underworld live, so if you destroy it, then the knights of the underworld will be destroyed as well." The oracle answered.

"So I need to destroy the scabbard and that's it?" I asked.

"Yes." The oracle answered.

"Alright then, thank you." I said.

After that I bid the oracle farewell and I started towards the direction of the portal to my world. Once I reach the portal it was already closing and I took a running start and jumped through the portal just in time. Once I made it through the portal I made my way to the Lady of the Lake. As I walked up to her she looked worried.

"What is it, how long have I been gone?" I asked.

"You have been gone for five years, the knights of the underworld have gotten to Arthur and the scabbard. Arthur now controls the knights of the underworld and has become immortal from the power of the scabbard. The power has driven him mad, all he wants is power, and the knights of the Round Table have fallen under his power as well, all except Sir Larmorak and Galahad… those two are rebelling against the evil that has corrupted this land." The Lady explained.

"Arthur…. Is… evil…" I said in shock and despair.

"Yes, did you figure out how to fix everything?" She said.

"Yes, I did. Is there anything else that happened while I was gone?" I asked.

"Merlina summoned somebody from another world, a blue hedgehog named Sonic. He is going to help us get everything back in order." The Lady answered.

"Alright then, I ought to go find this blue hedgehog and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble with anything." I said.

"Maria, wait. I suggest you disguise yourself as a masked ranger. If anyone were to see the princess nothing good will happen." The Lady said.

"Alright." I said.

I clothed myself all in black so I could hide in the shadows easier, so I wore a pair of black jeans, black riding boots, a black shirt whose long sleeves were loose and flowed with ease, black fingerless riding gloves and I tied a black cloth over my nose and mouth to where the only thing of my face visible were my golden eyes. Once I finished changing I left the Lady of the Lake and went off to find that blue hedgehog. A few hours later I found the blue hedgehog with Merlina and I walked up to them.

"Well well, the Lady of the Lake wasn't joking when she told me you summoned a blue hedgehog." I said.

"Who the heck are you… Maria?" the blue hedgehog asked.

"How do you know who I am?" I asked.

"The golden eyes." He said.

"Do you know me from your world?" I asked.

"Yes actually I am your older brother." He said.

"So in this case you are not only from another world but another time. Because I only have a younger brother currently, I wasn't even told of an older brother." I said.

"Ah… the you in my time told me that you are the princess of Camelot, is that true?" He asked.

"Yes it is true but I am in hiding right now, only because of our current situation, so you must tell no one who I am.

"Ok no problem, by the way, my name is…" he started.

"Sonic, I know. The Lady of the Lake told me everything I need to know." I interrupted.

"Ok then.." Sonic said, "What now?"

"We need to collect the three sacred swords. And then use them to destroy the scabbard." I said.

"Although won't destroying the scabbard destroy Arthur?" Merlina asked, "When the scabbard made Arthur immortal his life became linked to it."

"True… let's put that aside for now though, we will come up with something for that later, for now let's focus on getting the three sacred swords." I said.

"So who has the three sacred swords?" Sonic asked.

"The three top knights of the Round Table, Percival, Sir Gawain, and the strongest of all Sir Lancelot." I said my voice faltering at the name Lancelot.

"So why don't we split up, I will go after two and you get one." Sonic said.

"Alright, but you will need a sword first." I said.

"Oh… right… heh… didn't think about that." Sonic said scratching the back of his head.

"Come with me." I said.

"Ok." Sonic said.

A while later we make it to the castle town and go into where the blacksmith is.

"Hello, what can I do for a knight and a ranger?" The blacksmith asked.

"I need you to get a sword for this one." I said looking at Sonic.

"Alright let's see here, how's this?" The blacksmith asked handing a sword to Sonic.

"This is perfect." Sonic said getting a feel for the sword.

"Alright if that's the one for you Sonic then we will take it." I said handing a gold coin to the blacksmith.

"Ok, thank you." The blacksmith said.

"Thank you." I said and walked out with Sonic.
