He-ey! Guess who's back?
Dx: Uh… Gazing on the Arabesque?
RDF1: I wish. It's me! I'm back after many weeks off from writing my Sonic Fanfiction sequel to bring you the second chapter of my second Sonic fic.
Just so you know, the first chapter was written months ago. I just forgot to upload it until last week. I also had writer's block for weeks on end before I got to finish this. Sorry if this sucks, but it's what I've got. Hope you enjoy it anyways.
Just to remind everyone:
Sonic: (unavailable right now)
Amy: (also unavailable)
Sonia and Manic: (again, unavailable)
Tails: (Unconscious)
Everyone else is either visiting, or wondering what's up with Cosmo and her look-a-like. Well, time for questions to be answered and the fic to continue.
Disclaimer: Only in an alternate dimension would I have a chance at owning the Rights to Sonic. As it is: I don't and that should be good enough for you!
(Chapter Begin)
Cosmo and her look-a-like rushed to the sides of the bed. It took a few minutes, but they were able to wake up Tails.
"You're really here, right?" asked Tails in disbelief.
"Yes, Tails," said Cosmo, "I'm here, and I'm not leaving you."
"Father," said the Cosmo look-a-like.
Everyone's eyes, minus Cosmo, Shadow, and Chris's, widened. This was completely unexpected.
"You might want to explain," said Storm.
"This is my daughter, Violet," explained Cosmo.
Looking closely at Violet, one could tell some key differences, like the flowers and everywhere there was green on Cosmo, was violet on Violet.
"You were the one who took care of her, Tails," continued Cosmo, "I trusted you with her because I knew that you would do your best to take care of her."
"Not that I'm not happy, because I am," said Tails, "but how?"
"With 6 of the Chaos Emeralds here now, and all the Chaos Controls during that battle all those months ago, Violet was able to grow into who you see before you. The six Chaos Emeralds, plus Shadow and Silver were enough for me to call Cosmo back from her family," explained Chris.
"Oh," said Tails, before fainting again.
"Well, that's surprising," said Knuckles sarcastically, who had walked in with Cream and Cheese, "He sees his lost loved one, finds out he has a daughter, and he just faints. Real heart of a warrior, he is."
"Now's not the time," said Chris, feeling the darkness in Sonic, through the Emerald, growing, "Sonic's anger is overwhelming him. If we can't get to him and snap him out of it soon, we might just lose him to it."
"The only ones who can snap him out of it are Sonia and Manic," said Silver, before looking over at Shadow, who nodded.
"Silver and I will see what we can do to help Sonic, and keep his darkness at bay," informed Shadow, "You guys heal the sibs, wake Tails up, and join us a soon as possible."
Shadow and Silver pulled out their Emeralds and used Chaos Control to open a Portal in Time and Space. They jumped through it, hoping to find Sonic before too much time passed.
Meanwhile, Chris left in order to find more help. He knew what they had now wouldn't be enough. He warped to Sonic's house. When he arrived, he could feel the faint trail of energy left by Metal Sonic. He followed the trail until he found two books that Metal Sonic abandoned once he got what he wanted from them.
"'The Secret Rings'," spoke Chris aloud, "Sonic did tell me that the 'World Rings' had powers beyond that of normal Power Rings."
So, Chris jumped inside 'Sonic and the Secret Rings' to find himself in a desert land.
"Why do I feel like I'm in an Arabian Night tale?" wondered Chris.
"That's because you ARE in an Arabian Night tale, young one," replied a voice that was strikingly similar to Dr. Eggman.
Chris turned around to see an Eggman look-a-like in formal robes.
"I am Shahryar, King of this land. Seeing as how you're not from this world, I can assume you are friends with Sonic the Hedgehog," said King Shahryar.
"I am," replied Chris, bowing slightly, to show respect to the authority of this land, "My name is Christopher Thorndike and I have come here seeking a great power. An enemy of this place has escaped and we will need the Seven World Rings in order to seal him again."
"I know that Erazor Djinn has escaped," said Shahryar, "Ali Baba and Sinbad just informed me less than an hour ago of the Djinn's escape and I already sent them out to gather the rings. I trust they shall be returned with the Djinn captured?"
"Yes Sir," replied Chris, "I shall do my best to bring him in."
Just then, as if appearing out of nowhere, a female Genie popped in.
"King Shahryar," said Shahra, the Genie of the Ring, "Ali Baba and Sinbad have returned with the last of the Rings."
"Good work," praised the King, "This is Christopher, he shall receive the rings and return your father to his prison, where he shall remain."
(AN1)
Ali Baba showed up along with Sinbad.
"Your Majesty, here are the World Rings, like you asked," said Ali Baba.
"Who's the kid?" asked Sinbad rudely.
"He's the one who has come for the rings," said Shahryar, "Give them to him so he may bring back the Djinn."
Upon touching the first world ring, Chris felt a torrent of emotion.
"What is this feeling?" asked Chris.
"That would be the power of the World Ring," informed Ali Baba, "Each Ring has a different emotion connected to it."
Some of the rings that Chris received began glowing, along with the four Chaos Emeralds Chris had with him.
"I was right," said Chris, "The World Rings CAN work with the Emeralds."
"Bring back my father," pleaded Shahra.
"I will," promised Chris, before exiting the world, and the book.
Upon leaving the book he found himself facing Metal Sonic.
"You!" said Metal Sonic, "I remember you."
"I don't know what you're talking about," replied Chris, sounding innocent, "I don't think we've met."
"We have," said Metal Sonic, "It was when I was imprisoned inside the Egg Carrier all those years ago. I saw you while you were trying to escape it as it was crashing down into the sea."
'Crap, how am I gonna get out of this?' thought Chris, before an idea popped into his head, 'Hope this works.'
"Let's see you stop this: CHAOS CONTROL!!" shouted Chris, freezing time around him.
Upon noting that Metal Sonic was frozen in time, he quickly jumped into 'Sonic and the Black Knight', hoping to get there in time.
When Shadow and Silver arrived on the battle scene, it was already Sunset, so they witnessed Sonic's Transformation into the Werehog.
"That's the Werehog?" asked Silver, "Talk about all strength and little speed."
"Remember the mission," reminded Shadow, "We need to keep Sonic from fully tapping into his darkness, otherwise we lose him forever."
Then they noticed Metal Sonic's attention move away from the battle before he moved off into the growing night.
"Where's he going?" asked Silver.
"Wherever he's going, it isn't good," replied Shadow, getting ready to battle his way towards Sonic.
Shadow leapt out of their hiding spot and started rushing towards the group of enemies and troubled friend. Silver followed by floating at high speeds. Erazor Djinn and the Black Knight noticed them and summoned minions to hold them off. The minions forced Shadow and Silver to do battle with them before they could get to Sonic. Things weren't looking good.
Meanwhile, back at the palace, Tails had woken up again and was brought up to speed. With Sonia and Manic still out of commission, they had to do their best to battle Metal Sonic on their own.
"Right now we need to get Sonic back to Normal, then we can concentrate our efforts to defeat Metal Sonic," said Tails.
"Shadow and Silver are trying to do just that," informed Knuckles, "There's got to be a way for us to help Sonia and Manic recover."
"But there's no way we can do that unless we have at least a hundred rings. That way you can speed up their healing process like you did with me in the first battle against Nazo."
"We can take care of that," replied Jet, moving to get his hover board, "We may not be as fast as Sonic, but can get a hundred rings easily."
"You can count on us," added Wave.
"We'll get those rings, fast!" finished Storm, before the Babylon Rogues left the room.
"What do we do now?" asked Cosmo.
"We wait," said Tails, "It's up to the others now."
Tails looked out to the night sky, wondering how his 'brother' was doing.
Meanwhile, Chris entered Camelot and made his way towards the Castle. When he arrived, Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival were waiting for him.
"And who might you be?" asked Lancelot, his hand gripped on his sword just in case.
"My name is Christopher Thorndike," replied Chris, "I am a Friend of Sonic's."
"You know Sir Sonic?" asked Percival, "Then you know that Merlina is missing."
"Merlina was kidnapped by Metal Sonic, an enemy of Sonic's that has become more powerful thanks to an evil Genie. He may even be controlling the Black Knight as well."
"Sir Sonic needs our help," said Gawain, "But we cannot leave this world as we are bound to it by an Ancient Law."
"I know of three warriors who can most likely wield your weapons," suggested Chris, "Maybe you can let them borrow your weapons and it would be like you are helping Sonic in spirit."
"There's more to it than that," replied Lancelot, "We need Caliburn, the Sacred Sword, for Sonic to truly use our weapons to their fullest extent. He lies in rest deep within Misty Woods, where Sir Sonic returned him after coming to an understanding with Merlina."
Gawain gave Chris a Gauntlet.
"This is to help you bear the power the comes with a blade. Take this, so you may be ready when you awaken Caliburn," said Gawain.
"Thank you, I won't let you down," said Chris, taking the gauntlet and sword.
Chris then ran towards Misty Lake, and finding a Target Course, practiced his swordplay with ease thanks to his martial arts with Tanaka. He soon found himself in front of a hill, with a sword on top. Chris climbed up the hill and found himself looking at the sword.
"Hope this works," said Chris, as he gripped the sword and pulled it up out of the hill.
"Huh? Wha? Who dares awaken Caliburn?" asked Caliburn, the Sacred Sword.
"My name is Christopher Thorndike and Sonic needs your help," said Chris, introducing himself for the third time in less than an hour.
"Sir Sonic needs my help?" questioned Caliburn, "Say no more, let us go to him at once."
"I won't let you stop my ultimate plan!!" said Metal Sonic, appearing at last, having followed Chris into the book.
He quickly summoned some of the Black Knight minions and had them attack Chris. Using his martial arts skills combined with his newly acquired swordplay, he made quick work of them; however, facing off against a super-powered Metal Sonic is another story. Chris quickly got into a defensive position, preparing himself to battle Metal Sonic. But, can he win?
(Chapter End)
Well, that's just being mean, right?
Dx: I'll say. Leaving it on two different cliffhangers is just insulting.
Tails: I wouldn't say THAT. But I would definitely say that you need to move the story along. Because I need to…
RDF1: Stay quiet before you spoil anything.
Tails: Alright.
RDF1: Well, let's see how many characters are left, shall we?
Sonic: (We didn't really get to him, did we?)
Sonia and Manic: (Never really checked in with them either)
Tails: Present.
Shadow and Silver: (Busy)
Babylon Rogues: (also busy)
Rouge and Omega: (Are they even IN this one?)
Chris: (I don't think we need to bother him right now.)
RDF1: Okay, who else?
Cosmo: I am here.
Violet: And let's not forget about me. You did bring me in just for this story, right?
RDF1: Yep, because I wanted closure on the seed of Cosmo. So yeah, that's the explanation I'm giving for your appearance. Besides that, Tails now has a family to take of.
Tails: (faints)
Cosmo: You did that on purpose!!
RDF1: And?
Dx: See whom I take after?
Cosmo: I'm starting to.
Violet: How am I gonna be raised properly without a conscious father figure?
RDF1: I'm sure you'll figure something out.
AN1: If any true fan of Sonic's doesn't theorize about this, then they need to question their fanwoshipness. Because even though I might be the first one expressing this, that I know of, I know I'm not alone in this theory that Shahra is the daughter of the Erazor Djinn. Just something I thought might be necessary in case readers wanted to know why I put it like that.
Next time: Chris faces Metal Sonic while Shadow and Silver try to get Sonic back to his senses. Babylon Rogues get a hundred rings for Knuckles so he can pull off a healing move from Nazo Unleashed. Finally, the battle commences and something happens afterward.
Other than that, I hope I kept everyone in character.
Until next time…
Later,
RDF1
