Seadog's and Siren's
Chapter 4: The Fall of Laliven
Shadow suddenly woke with sweat raining down his face as his breathing quickened rapidly. The Pirate then whipped the sweat off his face as he got out of the covers and into his clothes as his heart couldn't help but feel like there was a great darkness close by. Confusion entered his mind on why he felt like he was in grave danger, as he quickly swam towards Sonics room. Once he was outside horror struck as the pirate found himself in a war zone when he saw strange blue ships firing purple balls of fire on the kingdom. The hedgehog's instincts immediately told him to save Sonic as he neared the others room with amazing speed. When the pirate opened the door he found the bed to be completely empty when he felt something slimy hit his back with great strength as he was sent flying into the wall.
Shadow groaned as he turned around to find a blue and black hedgehog with octopus legs holding the Siren Prince tightly in his grip. Sonic was wiggling and struggling in the strangers grip before a surprised "ow" was heard when the blue hedgehog bite deeply into the others skin. The stranger growled at Sonic as he used his tentacles to slap his escaped prisoner. The Prince covered his face as he anticipated pain to come, but instead he heard a cry of pain as he opened his eyes to see Shadow protecting him. The Siren then swam to his bodyguard with joy as he heard the other say "No one will harm the prince as long as I live".
Once the two were near each other Shadow quickly grabbed the others wrists and swam as fast as he could away from there attacker. The two swam past the dining area, the library and the bath house until they came to the grand palace to behold a disastrous sight. Buildings were in ruins with fire everywhere but the most frightening sight was seeing the Mer-people in chains as they were dragged into cages. Sonic felt his heart break into microscopic pieces as he saw some with scars after refusing to go into a cage, but the worse sight was to see his father in chains as he met his sorrowful blue gaze. Fear gripped the Kings heart as he saw his son near him to help rescue his father, but the King lightly pushed his son away as he said "Sonic, my dear boy get out of here! Shade has my triton which means he controls the entire kingdom."
The Siren Prince then frowned as he replied "No Father, I can't leave you or my people to live like this. Let me help you escape, then we can attack our enemy together." King Greon sighed sadly as he looked up but before he was able to speak dark laughter echoed above them as they saw the blue and black Octohog from earlier. "I hope you have enjoyed your freedom, because now I have control over not only your kingdom but control over the ocean itself" Shade said as he pointed the triton upward before a dark purple and black beam shot into the sky. Once it was high enough the beam then turned into a circle which began to trap the kingdom under his rule.
Greon then pushed the blue prince into Shadow as he said "Sonic, listen carefully I want you to escape right now and find our orb to help defeat Shade". Do it quickly while he is distracted with his spell, it's the only way you can escape." "Always know that whatever I do, it's to keep you safe because I love you very much." The Siren Prince felt tears rushing up as he responded with "I love you dearly Dad, I promise that we'll come back and save you." Shadow then grabbed Sonic as he shouted while swimming away "I promise that no harm will come to your son and that we will return safely with the orb."
As the two swam speedily away suddenly purple bolts went passed as the pirate saw Shade chasing them as he said "I will be sure to never let you leave my kingdom." Sonic yelped as a shot came really close to hitting him before he ducked as he was yanked a different direction. The black and red hedgehog noticed that the spell was almost done as it neared the ground, but as another bolt singed his side he got an idea. Shadow quickly threw Sonic towards the barrier with all his strength before turning to his enemy. The blue prince gasped as he crashed into the wall, but grew worried as he saw the barrier had almost shielded the kingdom with his friend still inside. Shade smirked wickedly as he saw his opponent was defenseless before him as he began blasting him with his triton. Shadow weaved around the columns of the Palace to avoid the others attacks before a blast managed to hit him in the back as he was sent crashing roughly into the ground. The pirate's gaze grew fuzzy as he tried to keep conscious until he saw a shield beside him once he was able to safely move around without hurting his body from the impact he had on the ground.
The pirate then quickly swam to grab a shield before taunting his foe with "if you're the most powerful being in the Lavinia, then why haven't you killed me yet?" This caused Shade to boil in rage at this insult when he responded with "Don't worry I am not finished with you until your body is nothing but ashes before me and I will make sure to show your ashes to the Prince before he dies with you." The octohog then charged the triton up and aimed for the others chest. He then blasted his enemy with it as it sent him crashing into a rock outside the barrier. Sonic felt tears well up as he neared where his bodyguard was. The hedgehog began to cry as he didn't see his friend anywhere while dark thoughts began to enter his mind of which quickly turned to joy as he saw Shadow was ok, when he saw that the shield had taken the most of the damage. Shadow then quickly gave his friend a sincere smile to reassure the Siren he was alright before he turned to swim away from the kingdom as the Siren followed. Once the two were a safe distance away Sonic hugged the other happily while saying "I was so worried about you, when I saw the beam hit your stomach. But, I am very grateful for what you have done for me".
The pirate blushed a deep crimson from the hug as he smiled and hugged the Siren close while saying "I meant it truthfully when I said that I will not let anything happen to you as long as I live. Now where can we find this orb?" Sonic then blushed as a goofy smile appeared at the other's comment as he felt warmth enter his heart at the black hedgehog's words of comfort, but then quickly turned south as he said "it's this way, I know where to go from here." Shadow then grinned as he quickly swam after the Siren Prince to help save the kingdom from Shade's oppression. Little did the two heroes know that Shade had guessed this would happen as he smirked while saying "Don't think that just because I am inside this barrier, that you are safe from me hedgehog's. For, now that I have your Father's triton I will make sure to kill you both and destroy that orb and then no one will be able to escape my wrath. The Octohog then teleported back to his cave in the coral reef as he began to cast a few spells to make sure that the orb would never be found. Once the spells were complete dark voices laughed gleefully as they chased after where the Prince and Pirate had headed left to find there only hope for the Kingdom.
