I'm really running out of ways to say I don't own Sonic and Tangled
By the time morning arrived, everyone was still sleeping. Today would be an eventful day indeed.
Flynn was still sleeping when hot air hit his face. He grunted a bit before another blast hit his face, this time causing him to slowly wake up.
Maximus the horse, was standing over Flynn, snorting angrily. He was really mad that he had to chase Rider all over the forest to find him.
"Well, about time you got here," Flynn said, half asleep and not knowing who it was.
The sound of Flynn's shouting woke up the others, alerting them to the situation at hand as Max was dragging Flynn off by one of his boots.
Rapunzel ran over to Flynn and pulled back on him using his arms to hold onto him. "Let him go. Please." Rapunzel pulled harder, this time with Sonic and Tails' help. Their combined strength managed to pull Flynn out of Max's grasp.
Max tried to get at Rider again, but the blond girl and the two upright animals kept blocking his path.
Pascal crawled over to Rapunzel, crawling up her body to her head, and got a good view of the horse. By doing some motions with his hands, it caused the horse to settle down.
Rapunzel petted Max's head. "That's a good boy. I know you've been chasing the bad man all over the place, but I kinda need you to not arrest him. At least not until 24 hours are up."
Max stopped looking happy. He was happy because he was getting petted and getting a lot of attention, which was very rare for him. Now he was being asked not to turn Rider in. Does this girl not know he's a wanted thief?
"I know a good boy like you would let me have this one request," Rapunzel said, still petting the horse. "Can you please do this for me..." she looked down at the horse's neck and saw a medallion around it. "Maximus?"
Max let out a refusing neigh, but when he heard that today was the blonde girl's birthday and that it would really ruin her day if Flynn Rider was arrested, he finally agreed not to turn him in until tomorrow. He wagged his tail happily as the girl hugged him and continued petting his head. He really loved all of this attention.
Rapunzel walked over to Flynn. "I believe you have something to say."
"Thank you Rapunzel. I really am sorry about keeping my secret from you," said Flynn.
"Are you telling the truth when you say you want to return that crown?"
"Yes, I really want to return that tiara."
Rapunzel looked at Flynn. "Well, okay. I guess I can forgive you," she said. She than helped Flynn up. "So, are there any more secrets that you've kept from us?"
"Well, one, but it's one I've kept from everyone. My real name's not Flynn Rider, it's Eugene Fitzherbert. I stopped calling myself that because, as an orphan, I was made fun of for my unusual last name. I also loved the story Flynnigan Rider, thief extraordinaire. He was rich and, as an orphan who had nothing, seemed pretty cool. So I changed my name and started thieving."
"So, your name is Eugene Fitzherbert?" asked Tails while Rapunzel gave him the satchel.
"Yes," answered Eugene.
"That doesn't seem like a funny last name. I'm sorry all those kids made fun of you for that," said Sonic. "Well anyways, we have a long trip ahead of us, but with my speed, we could get there in the afternoon."
While the others went ahead, Eugene just watched Rapunzel walk alongside Sonic and Tails. Max chose this time to hit Rider in the gut with his hoof, paying him back for that long chase.
Eugene and Max soon caught up with the others, and true to Sonic's word and speed, they reached the kingdom in the afternoon.
Rapunzel was both excited and delighted by all of the sights and sounds of the kingdom. Unfortunately, her long hair kept getting in the way of everyone. She would accidentally bump into people, but thankfully, Sonic helped her get out of the people's way..
Sonic saw some little girls braiding each others hair and got an idea. He whistled to them, causing them to turn in his direction. He pointed to Rapunzel's hair, which got them eager and excited and they started to braid her hair.
Eugene and Max returned to where everyone was right after Rapunzel had her hair braided. Earlier, there was a confrontation that involved a certain person's wanted poster, which almost started a fight between them. Luckily, Tails stopped them and straightened them out.
The five friends went through the town, arriving at the town square. Rapunzel ran over to the mural of the King, Queen and the lost princess. She looked at the image of the baby princess closely before watching some girls put flowers near the mural. She found out that the mural was a sort of memorial for the lost princess.
Rapunzel and the others heard music start to play and Rapunzel started to dance around, slowly getting the attention of all the townspeople there. She then danced with all of them, causing a big dance to occur. Rapunzel and Eugene danced a little but Sonic stole the show when he started to pull out some wicked break-dance and hip-hop moves.
Rapunzel, Eugene and Tails clapped with the other townspeople as Sonic danced as Max watched the break-dancing hedgehog with amusement. Pascal laughed a bit as Sonic kept spinning around on his side. He could really get used to that hedgehog.
Evening soon approached and it was almost time for the lanterns to be released.
Eugene led the group to a small dingy, helping Rapunzel get in. She turned to Sonic. "Come on and get in Sonic."
"Uh, I don't think I should go. Me and water kinda don't go well together. Besides, I think Eugene would like to go instead," Sonic said, turning to Eugene and winked at him.
"Oh... yeah, I'll go," Eugene said before getting into the dingy. He then started rowing into the middle of the adjacent lake.
"Me and Tails are gonna watch from the dock," Sonic said, waving to them.
The King and Queen went to the castle's balcony to light the first lantern. The first lantern floated up into the air, soon followed by others.
Rapunzel watched all of them float by with amazement. "They're all so beautiful."
Pascal, who was on Rapunzel's head, squeaked in agreement and watched them.
Rapunzel turned to Eugene and him holding two lanterns. She smiled and got one. They both released their lanterns into the air, watching them join the other lanterns. Rapunzel smiled at Eugene, seeing that he was smiling back at her. They leaned closer, going to kiss, while all the lit-up lanterns floated around them.
Sonic, Tails and Maximus watched the lanterns from the dock when suddenly a loud, metallic roar ripped through the night air. Maximus snorted in confusion as Sonic and Tails, along with the rest of the townspeople, looked around for where that awful sound came from.
Rapunzel and Eugene heard the sound and stopped just before they kissed. "What was that?" Rapunzel asked as she, Eugene and Pascal looked around.
Suddenly, the sound came again, this time closer to where Rapunzel and Eugene were. Sonic looked out to where the sound was heard, which was out on the water, and looked up. The light of the lanterns revealed the shape of a dragon over Rapunzel and Eugene's dingy.
The dragon looked like a regular dragon with wings, but it was completely robotic and was a white color. On the center of its forehead was a dome, and sitting inside it was Dr. Eggman.
"Eggman!" Sonic shouted before he ran to the docks. "What do you want Eggman? Sonic shouted.
Eggman turned on the loud speakers that were inside the dragon's mouth. "I'm here to collect something Sonic. I'm here for the girl, but first, it's time I squashed you once and for all!" Eggman pressed some buttons on the console in front of him, causing missile launchers to emerge from the robot's sides. From each launcher, three missiles shot out.
Sonic the Hedgehog leaped into the air and curled into a ball. By some unknown force, he shot himself forward at the first missile, with the explosion propelling him upwards where he shot forward at the next missile. He repeated this for the remaining missiles. On the last explosion, Sonic was propelled at the robot's cockpit dome, slamming against it.
The dome got a crack in it as Eggman watched Sonic shoot forward, landing on the back of the robot, which he named the Egg Dragon. "Oh no you don't!" Eggman shouted, starting to move his robot towards the docks.
Sonic felt the robot move forward, so he immediately stopped and to see where they were heading. The robot was approaching the docks where tons of innocent people had gathered to watch the fight. He had to stop Eggman before he caused any harm to them and to the kingdom. When the Egg Dragon was close enough to the dock, Sonic ran forward and leaped off the head, propelling himself forward. He landed on the dock and quickly turned around to the robot dragon.
The Egg Dragon reached the docks and let out a fierce mechanical roar, which scared most, if not all, of the townspeople away. "Give up Sonic and give me that princess!" shouted Eggman.
"I don't have a princess, and even if I did I would never give her to you!" Sonic shouted.
"You have a princess Sonic, you just don't realize it! She will be mine!" Eggman pushed a green button on the console, causing fire to shoot out of the robot's mouth.
Rapunzel, Eugene and Pascal watched the battle from their dingy. Rapunzel clung onto Eugene, scared from hearing and seeing that thing up close firsthand. "Do you think Sonic can handle that thing?" she asked, looking at Eugene.
"I don't know, but it looks like he's doing a good job fighting," replied Eugene.
Sonic dodged the flames and leaped onto the robot's left arm, leaping off it and into the air again. He shot himself forward and slammed into the dome again.
The crack on the dome got bigger, causing Eggman to get nervous. The Egg Dragon swung its arm, smacking Sonic backwards.
Tails gave Max the satchel, telling him to get to a safe distance and to not let anyone have it. Max did that as Tails leaped into the air, his twin tails propelling himself into the air.
Sonic went sailing backwards, but thankfully something caught him. He looked up and saw Tails holding his hands. "Thanks Tails."
"No problem. Now lets get him!" Tails replied, flying Sonic over to a close distance where Sonic could do a Homing Attack on the dome once more. Tails threw Sonic at the dome and watched the hedgehog roll into a ball and shoot himself forward, slamming into the dome. When Sonic was propelled backwards, he curled up into a ball and slammed into the dome again repeatedly three more times.
Warning sirens were going off inside the Egg Dragon, causing Eggman to look at the various monitors inside. "No, no, no, no!" he shouted, slamming his hands against the console. "The power levels are failing! I better grab that princess before this thing shuts down." The Egg Dragon flew back to where the princess' dingy was and it reached down, smashing the dingy with its hand when it grabbed Rapunzel.
Pascal hung onto Rapunzel's hair, which was now long again thanks to the water loosening up the braids, but fell into the water when he lost his grip.
"Eugene!" she shouted as she was being taken away. She looked over to where Sonic and Tails were standing while the dragon took her over to the other shore. "Sonic! Help me!"
The Egg Dragon flew back to Dr. Eggman's fortress, carrying the screaming Rapunzel.
Tails leaped into the air and flew over to where the dingy was smashed. He saw Eugene floating ontop of the surface in an unconscious fashion. Tails grabbed his arm and flew him back to where Sonic and Max were The docks were still on fire, but people were starting to put it out.
Eugene got out of unconsciousness when Sonic shook him rapidly. He looked around quickly for Rapunzel, but saw Sonic, Tails and Maximus instead. "We've got to go rescue her!"
"I know. Where did you find the boat at?" asked Sonic.
Eugene got up. "I'll show you," he said before leading them to where the dingies were.
Maximus gave the satchel back to Tails before he and Tails got into a dingy while Sonic and Eugene got into the other. The two dingies sailed to the other shore where Rapunzel was taken to.
