Prologue
Tsukino Usagi struggles to lift her arm and then she hears laughter, " Try all you like, Usagi-chan, you're finished. If only you could have done your duty and married Mamoru-sama we wouldn't have this problem. "
" You're insane, Puu. " Usagi manages to say and then the Moon Princess starts to pray, divine intervention would be her only hope now. Amaterasu, Susanoo, Set, Eris, Loki, Auntie Hestia, help me, please, I know I'm dying but please, please, let me have a life where I know the love of family and the love that only a soul mate can deliver, one where I can finally be free to make choices for myself.
Divine Realms:
For the first time the Japanese, Greco-Roman, Egyptian, and Norse pantheons met in peace, " We have to answer her prayer soon, she doesn't have long left. " Set says.
" Agreed, she always treated us tricksters and chaos gods decently. " Loki says.
Eris was radiating rage at the moment, " Those damn bitches, how could they do this to her. So what if she didn't want to marry Endymion XIII's reincarnation, she should be free to choose! I vote we send her to Mobius. "
Susanoo grins at this, " Where we purveyors of chaos have more sway, makes sense. What era should she be born in? "
" The year 3220, same year Sonic is to be born. Quite frankly he deserves better than Sally and to have someone at his side that will actually understand the pressures of saving the world. " Loki adds.
Hestia sighs as she looks at her niece, " This should never have happened and yet it did. She deserves so much better than what she got. I know she worships you purveyors of chaos, her pranks are sacrifices for you all. "
" True, it was how she managed to keep them fooled until her duty was done. Now, they've all cracked save for Mercury and Saturn. Mercury was killed outright for refusing to go along with such foolishness and Saturn, poor Saturn, what they did to her was abhorrent. " Loki says.
" Agreed, Mercury and Saturn shall go with her. " Amaterasu says, " Species for Mercury? "
" Fox. " Set says immediately.
" Saturn should be either a bat or hedgehog. " Susanoo states.
" The hime, Usagi, she'll be half puma and half chipmunk, born into the royal family due to a treaty between the royal family and the family that became the royal assassins. " Eris and Loki say together.
Mobius, 3220:
" Alicia, dear, you knew this may come up, I am honor bound to ensure that the Pumara family line continues. The last free member has six months left to live. " Maximillian says.
" I know, and I understand. The treaty was made for the good of the Kingdom. "
Three months later a half charcoal gray and half purple puma kit, well half puma and half chipmunk was born, Selesta Acorn. The only overt sign of her chipmunk heritage was her brown belly. She had amethyst eyes and two tails, surprising her mother. Maximillian was willing to allow the mother of his latest child to live out the rest of her days in the palace, taking care of her daughter while she could. Only a month later Princess Sally Acorn was born. Elias could be seen looking over his younger half-sister curiously.
Mobius, 3227:
Princess Selesta Acorn stares at her sister, " The people need hope and you're just going to stay where it's safe and not help out when needed. Not provide them with that hope? "
" It's not my duty to fight. " Sally says, painting her nails.
Selesta almost wants to throttle the prissy little brat, instead she goes to find Sonic, at least he cared about the suffering of the people, unlike her younger half-sister. The pair along with Rotor Walrus, Antoine D'Coolette, and Miles Prower, nicknamed Tails, inspired by Tig Stripes freedom fighters form the Knothole Freedom Fighters. Selesta was their leader and planner while Sonic was their main muscle. Rotor was the brains of the operation along with Tails while Antoine kept them cautious.
Mobius, 3235:
Selesta moans as she struggles to sort out all the separate time lines that she'd lived in this life time, oh, she had remembered her first two lifetimes shortly after she had met Sonic. The first time line she'd constantly had to be on guard for Sally trying to steal her guy from her. She takes a moment to center herself and enter her mindscape so she could sort everything out and then get to work on her mission.
She knew Sonic would be worried after she had willingly allowed herself to be roboticized to save the planet in the first time line. She currently wore a purple tube top, black pants, black boots similar to Amy Rose's, and the heart shaped pendant made out of master emerald fragments given to Sonic by Tikal whom in turn had given it to her. Her twin tails were looped through the belt loops acting as a belt while her purple hair was mid back length, she wore nothing to hold it back either. She had a tuft of darker purple hair in between her eyes while her bangs fell around them, one bang did somewhat cover one eye, her right, though it was still visible. Her right half was charcoal gray while the left half was purple.
Her job was to provide a distraction while Amalie Zorro hacked into Eggman's files and stole them. Amalie was a light blue colored fox nine years old, she wore a light blue Chinese style dress with a vest the shade of her fur over that, she had one light blue fluffy tail tipped in white, dark blue eyes and she wore blue slip on shoes specially modified so they would stay on her feet if she had to run. Amalie was a part of the brain trust along with Tails and Rotor, the vixen also happened to be a cyrokinetic as well as being Sailor Mercury reincarnated.
Selesta gets everything sorted out and smirks before she sets to work, causing a brand of havoc that Sonic was well known for. She loved that about him, he was very good at causing chaos wherever he went and he didn't even try to do so. She just couldn't wait to meet up with him again, the last memory she had of him was after Silver managed to stop her rampage as a murderous robot. She'd fought as hard as she could to keep from hurting Sonic, her other half, which was why he'd lasted as long as he had, her love for him had ultimately saved him.
The Chipuma rolls her shoulders and sets to work, she didn't mind being a distraction for something like this. Rotor was working on Sky Patrol while Antoine was guarding Sonic's Uncle Chuck. She ducks under laser fire from a Badnik and tears that one apart with her umbrakinesis. Yeah, she happened to be an umbraporting umbrakinetic empathic chaos wielding Chipuma. As she ducks, dodges, umbraports, and flips her way through the throng her partner for this mission is quickly gaining everything they need, hiding her tracks like only a true Mercurian could, and leaving a little present behind for Eggman.
Amalie evacuates and heads for the safe point, where Rotor was working on their flying base while Selesta made sure she got away safe. Amalie didn't like the fact that she was leaving her friend behind like that, Selesta had yet to tell her about being Usagi reincarnated, but Selesta had ordered her to get that information to safety. Amalie may not look it but she was a fierce fighter, came from being able to wield ice like it was a mere child's toy.
Once Selesta received the signal that her friend was safe she evacs and Eggman puts Metal Sonic on her tail. The umbraporter curses her luck, where the hell was Sonic when she needed him, sure, she could take Metal Sonic, if she hadn't just been a distraction for Amalie. She casts out with her empathy, searching for Sonic along the soul mate bond. She rolls her eyes and starts to head towards Charles Hedgehog's location. Of course, evading a robot's sensors wasn't going to be easy.
Tornado:
Sonic stands on the wing of the Tornado on his way to his Uncle Chuck though his thoughts were on Selesta. He hated not knowing if she was all right or not. Amalie had shown up just before he and Tails had left, which meant Rotor now had Big and Amalie as back-up. Amalie had said Selesta had stayed behind in order to give her time to get the information she had obtained away safely. Don't get him wrong, Sonic knew better than most that his girl could handle herself, he just didn't like the fact that until she made contact he had no way of knowing her current status.
It had killed him to see her roboticized like that. That she had made such a sacrifice for all of Mobius had filled him with pride while at the same time almost shattered him. Seeing her fighting for Eggman, attacking the people she had spent the better part of her life defending had been heartbreaking at the least. Sonic frowns as he looks around, something was wrong, but what was it? Just as Antoine and Uncle Chuck can be seen in the Wood Zone at Knothole Sonic manages to pick up on explosions in the distance before he stiffens and jumps off the Tornado with no warning, activating his homing attack, he now knew where Selesta happened to be.
Tails rolls his eyes at his big brother, he only ever acted that way when it came to Selesta. Of course, Sonic had an uncanny way of knowing whenever she was in trouble as well. Tails knew part of it had to do with the necklace Sonic had given her as it was made out of very fine shards of the Master Emerald, given to him by Tikal. Tikal had also so made so it wouldn't register as part of the Master Emerald anymore in case the Master Emerald got shattered once again.
Selesta curses as Metal gets lucky and a piece of wooden shrapnel pins her to a tree. It looked like she may not get to see her blue speedster again, at least that what she was thinking until a blue blur slams into Metal at supersonic speeds. The impact shattered the ground and blew dust and debris into the air around the site. She can just barely make out Metal retreating and another shape in the dust cloud. When the dust settles she smiles, only Sonic could make an entrance like that. He turns around and frowns, " Les, what am I going to do with you? I swear you get into more trouble than me. "
" Just free me already, Sonic. " Selesta snaps, she was tired, low on power, hungry, and in pain, that did not make for a very nice Chipuma.
Sonic was quick to do as she said, " Missed ya, babe, and I'm glad to see you in flesh and blood again. "
Selesta uses her good arm to pull him closer, " For a speedster you sure are slow at a few things. "
Sonic found himself on the receiving end of one of the hottest kisses he'd ever experienced. For once he didn't fight back for dominance as he was enjoying her assertiveness. He had her back and this time nothing was going to get in his way. His hands work their way into her hair, tugging lightly, using his knowledge of the first time line to his advantage, they'd been so close to actually being mates in that first time line. It was with great reluctance that Selesta ends the kiss, just snuggling into him. Sonic lays back on the forest floor taking her with him, he could take some time to chill and just be with his girl.
