Chapter 4
Sonia was in her room, she had been trying to break that stupid ring for over half an hour. She thought that her quills could do it, but the only way to do that would be putting her leg behind her head, and trying some sort of Spindash, but everyone could realize that would be a terrible idea.
"hmm… I need to take off this ring!" She said, but every attempt at something was futile, that ring was not destroyable.
Sonia remembered something important, she had a Chaos Emerald with her, something she always kept in case of neediness. She checked, but she didn't have it.
"Wait… Where is it?!" She checked every pocket or place she could have put it, but it wasn't in any of those places.
'They took the Chaos Emerald, THEY TOOK THE CHAOS EMERALD!' She thought, she had to take it back, Her parents never had a chaos emerald themselves, and she didn't want to see what they would do with it.
She looked at the door, which was locked up. Of course, a locked door was nothing for her, she remained in the room just because if she tried to escape, it would have been just useless.
She got ready, and with a bolt she broke the door, freeing her.
She turned to see that a couple of guards were near the door, surprised by the power of the blue hedgehog.
"P-Princess?!" Said the first one, trembling.
"T-The King and Q-Queen said t-that-" "I don't care what the King and Queen Say!" Interrupted Sonia. She started walking away, the guards were too scared to stop her.
"W-Where did she get t-those Powers?!" Asked the first guard
"I-I don't know! What if she got them by the D-Devil?!" Answered the second Guard
Sonia turned to them, her face in surprise. She never had been associated with the Devil!
She turned around and continued walking, what she found really strange is that nobody associated her with Sonic, hero of Mobius.
'is everybody really that stupid?' she thought.
Everybody in the castle who saw her didn't know about her being locked up, it was communicated to not too many guards, and no one else.
She opened the Door to the Throne Room.
"This was with your daughter, My King" Said a Scientist, holding the Chaos Emerald in front of the two rulers, both amazed.
"Is this a…" Started Francesca "yes, it's a Chaos Emerald" Continued the Scientist.
"That Gem is of Infinite Power, why did Sonia have it?!" Said Soèl.
"That's none of your business!"
Everyone turned to see Sonia, her arms crossed.
"What are you doing here?! I told the guards to lock your room, you're grounded!" Said Soèl "Sonia, obey your father" Said Francesca.
"Just give me back my special Gem!" Said Sonia.
"Don't speak like that to your father!" Said Soèl.
"Give me my Emerald back" Said Sonia, anger in her voice.
The scientist looked at the King, which nodded, but before he gave it to Sonia, he spoke. "Wait. Before I give it to you I want to know one thing." Said Soèl.
Sonia hesitated, but decided to accept. "Fine".
"Where did you get it? Did you steal it?" He asked.
Sonia was thinking. She couldn't tell that she got it in a special Stage, they wouldn't believe her even if it's true, and saying she stole it would just be counterproductive. So, she went with a simple excuse.
"I just found it long ago." She Said.
Soèl and Francesca looked at each other, they clearly didn't believe it, but they decided to give it to her.
"Now, go to your room" Said Soèl. "And for what? Me leaving again? Breaking that door is as easy as fruitballs" She Said.
"That's why we called a special Person to prevent you from leaving" Said Soèl. "And who would that be?" She asked
"you'll see tomorrow" Said Soèl. "I'll make you a little gift, since you are still my daughter, you can go and explore the castle, just in case you forgot how it was." He continued.
'just what I needed' thought Sonia.
Meanwhile
Tails was flying once again at Sonia's house, it had been 4 hours since he came there this morning, and he hoped to find her in there.
Tails arrived at the front door, and knocked. There was still no response.
Tails knocked again, no response. He turned and started walking away, saddened. He noticed that Sonia got mail this morning. Tails decided to put the letters inside Sonia's house, people have started to take them for no reason recently, and since she wasn't home, he didn't want her to have missing letters.
Tails took them, and walked into Sonia's house, he got beaten by his curiosity, and looked for a moment at what Sonia got.
There were only two letters, one was just bills, and the other one… was a letter from the king of Mobius himself.
Tails didn't know what to do. He once again got beaten by his curiosity, and opened it.
Inside, there was a message.
"To Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog, this information is confidential and mustn't be shared with anyone.
You are asked to come to the castle of Mobius tomorrow morning at 8 AM. You'll be told why upon your arrival.
Soèl, King of Mobius"
Tails didn't know what to think. Nobody knew that Sonic in reality was Sonia, and that was a problem. Another problem is that it's lunch time, and Sonia was always there at lunch, no matter what.
There was certainly a problem.
Later, that evening
Everyone had been called by Tails, nobody knew why tho.
"Why did you call us?" Asked Shadow.
"Guys, I think we have a problem" Said Tails.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Then, explain yourself, fox" Continued Shadow.
"Sonia is nowhere I searched, and she is almost never outside all day." Said Tails.
"That doesn't look too much a problem, maybe she just felt like it, you know how she is" Said Knuckles.
"let me finish! When I went to search for her at her house, I found this!" Tails took out the letter and showed it to everyone.
Rouge took it, and started reading out loud.
"To Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog, this information is confidential and mustn't be shared with anyone.
You are asked to come to the castle of Mobius tomorrow morning at 8 AM. You'll be told why upon your arrival.
Soèl, King of Mobius"
Everyone looked surprised, what did the King need from Sonic?
"Who's gonna tell the hero of mobius is a girl?" Asked Amy.
"Wait, wait, I have a plan!" Said Tails
"I rebuilt the chip that Sonia used to disguise herself as Sonic, if someone else will wear it, they will look like Sonic!"
"then someone has to go and do it." Said Rouge.
"yeah, but it must be someone that looks like sonic, or else the chip won't be disguising you right. Since it changes the DNA too, it must be someone which is at least an hedgehog"
Everyone instantly looked at Shadow.
"… Why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked.
The next Day.
Sonia Woke up. She had to admit, her old bed was god-like. She slept like a baby.
She got Dressed as usual in her adventure clothes, and got out of her room. Before she could go do breakfast, however, she got stopped by a maid.
"Uhm… Princess?" Sonia turned to the Maid. "Yeah?" she responded.
"your mother told me to give you these clothes" The maid gave Sonia some Clothes, all of them were fancy, made for a princess.
"thanks but… I don't really like to wear this stuff" Said Sonia.
"Are you sure, Princess?" Asked the maid. "Yeah, I'm sure, and cut it out with the 'Princess' Thing. Just call me Sonia, ok?"
The Maid was surprised by this, but she didn't argue.
"As you wish, Sonia" She Said.
Sonia ran into the dining room for breakfast, stopping immediately when she entered.
She Sat in her Seat, and looked at her parents, who were looking at her strangely.
"Uhm… why are you looking at me like that?" She asked to her parents.
"Why aren't you wearing the clothes I provided you?" Asked Francesca.
"it was a dress, I cannot run with a dress" She answered, looking calm. Soèl and Francesca looked at each other, But decided Not to go further.
"So, Sonia, what would you like for breakfast?" Asked Francesca, changing the argument.
"I'd like a burger" Said Sonia.
They both looked at her like if she'd just say nonsense.
"a… a burger? For breakfast?" Said Francesca.
"let's make it 2" Said Sonia. "2 burgers for breakfast?! But… that is highly unhealthy!" Said Francesca, who was trying to understand how could she eat 2 burgers for breakfast.
"Unhealthy? Why?" Asked Sonia. Francesca didn't expect that either.
"there are a lot of fats in them, you can't eat them every day or else you'll get fat!" Said Francesca.
"Fat? I never get fat, I drain the energy out of two burgers in 2 mere minutes of running"
Francesca didn't want to ask a burger at the chefs, and before she could say anything, Soèl decided to speak, changing once again the subject. "Sonia, I have a surprise for you" he said.
"?" Sonia didn't know what to expect. "I hired you a guard, and a special one too." 'I don't like where this is going' she thought, before taking a glass of water and starting to drink it.
"You can come in" He Said. The door opened, and a blue hedgehog showed up, it had gre- It was Sonic.
Sonia immediately spit up the water she had in her mouth. Who was this Guy?!.
The 'Sonic' looked as surprised too.
'now that I look at them both… they really do look alike' thought Soèl.
"he Will check on you, and prevent you from trying something bad, he will begin after your breakfast. And don't expect to Eat Burgers or Hot Dogs."
Sonia didn't know what to say, who was this imposter? Who took the identity of Sonic as his?
"Sonic, please, wait outside the room" Said Soèl, and with that, 'Sonic' left the room.
Francesca gave Sonia a plate with a croissant and a glass of orange juice. 'I can devour more than 5 chilidogs, and not be affected by them, why am I eating this?' Sonia ate everything.
"Sonia, now, Go with Sonic, he will accompany you."
Sonia decided it was time to face the faker.
Sonia left the room, and there was 'Sonic', waiting for her.
"Who are you?" Asked Sonia.
'Sonic' looked around himself.
"I said, Who. Are. You?"
The Sonic took Sonia by the hand and they both hid in a room.
"why did you do that?!" Asked Sonia,
'Sonic' touched his neck, pushing something.
A field around him appeared and disappeared, leaving a dark and red hedgehog with red pu-
"Shadow?!"
