Violett: Hello Everybody. Since Sheelaflower has been beat up by Amy for putting Sally into this story, I will do the disclaimer today.
Amy: What gives you the right to do the disclaimer? Only because you're Sheelaflowers OC doesn't mean you're anymore important then me.
Sally. I'm the one that should do the disclaimer, seeing that I'm the princess.
Rouge: Yeah, but I'm the lady in this whole b*tch fight, so I'll do the disclaimer.
Charmy: Yay, a b*tch fight.
Amy: You don't even know what a b*tch fight is.
*Everybody starts fighing*
Alicia: Since they are busy, I'll go make the disclaimer. (Get's a smack on the head and faints)
Shadow: That should do. Now … (Shadow's tail is starting to burn) What the …
Blaze: Alright, let's end this ridiculous disclaimer fight. Sheelaflower …
Amy: Who said you can just go make the disclaimer? (Pulls blaze into the b*tch fight)
Silver: Sheelaflower does not own Sonic the hedgehog nor any of its characters except for Violett. All rights belong to Sega.
Sally: He made the disclaimer! Let's get him!
Silver: (Swaetdrops and starts running)
*All the girls (plus Shadow) run after Silver, screaming angrily*
The sword of Acorns
A daughter of Nightshade. She would have never thought that they would get a visit from someone like that. She knew that they should have taught their children about the royal rules, but her husband has always been against it. A simple mention of the list had always been enough to make him blow up like a volcano. Why? Alicia never found out. Maybe Max just liked being in control and disliked being controlled by someone, anyone. It could also be that he himself never has never really been taught about it or maybe he was just scared. After all, all you need is one wrong move in front of someone like her and the possibility of you dying in the next hours is incredibly big. But somehow, Alicia had the feeling that she wouldn't kill anyone. She seemed like such a gentle and peaceful person to her. Max must have thought the same. Seeing that he had a daughter of Nightshade standing before him, he seemed pretty calm.
The only thing fishy about her, are the words she just said; that she wanted the sword of Acorns. Alicia knew that the sword had immense power, but they are only revealed to the family of Acorns and only to those who are meant to receive the crown. So what good would it do to her, as a daughter of Nightshade? Could mages also use the power of the sword?
"Give you the sword? Tell us one reason why you should have it!" Sally said. It was obvious she didn't like Violett too much.
"Sally, this matter is out of your hands. I want you to be quiet, do I make myself clear?" Alicia spoke to her daughter, who only scowled, but stayed quiet.
„You know the rules as good as I do, daughter of Nightshade, if not even better", Max now spoke out. "We are not to give the sword to anyone!"
„Unless you are no longer capable of protecting it, you trust someone, and that someone has a very good reason and proof to take it" Violett spoke. The King went white in the face.
"I can certainly not say that I'm not capable of protecting the sword anymore." He huffed angrily.
"But it is what I would say."Violett spoke again. At her words, the whole room seemed to be filled with a thick silence. It was as though Violett's words brought a bad premonition into the room.
"There's someone on the hunt for the sword", she continued. "I guess you have heard of Ira?"
"Who hasn't?" It was Alicia's time to speak. "His story could surpass Romeo and Juliet."
"Then I guess you know his almost-wife was no better. What do you think she could do with the sword in her hands?"
Elias ears perked up. This is the second time he has paid attention to what was going on here.
"She's gathering them, isn't she?" He whispered. There was confusion in Sally's eyes, now. Alicia could clearly see that she had no clue what was going on. And it wasn't any different with Sonic either.
"I met her."Elias went on. "She asked me about the sword and the other Items. She asked me if a girl named Violett has been here before, too. That's you isn't it?"
Violett only nodded.
"She's coming to get it, right?" Elias asked his voice still no louder than a whisper.
And again Violett nodded.
"She's going to come here and take it. And whoever stands in her way will be killed."
"She's playing with us." King Max said.
"But she will not win." Violett voice was full of confidence, now. "Not if you give me the sword. I can protect it better than all of your mages and knights put together."
"Our security around the sword is top, and it's so well hidden, nobody will ever be able to find it. Tell me, how can you protect the sword better then we can? I'd really love to see that."
"Sally, that's enough. This is a serious topic of which you have no clue of, so I command you to shut your mouth or you'll get grounded, young lady!" Max was now out of his chair.
"It's okay." Violett said, not at all offended by Sallys words. "It's not her fault she has no clue of the situation. I would say the same about your son, but he managed to find out for himself."
Max and Alicia went white in their faces. Violett was right. They should have taught Sally and Elias about the royal rules and a lot of other things.
"And she might just be right. Perhaps I should give you a little demonstration of my power." Violett said.
She grabbed the ring around her neck and placed it on her finger. Then she directed her hand towards Sally and focused her eyes on her. Soon, a turquoise aura appeared around Sally, lifting her gently into the air. All eyes were now directed towards her, who actually seemed to enjoy floating in midair. Alicia however took a short look at Violett, clearly seeing the strain of the effort she's putting into this. Putting her gaze back on Sally, Alicia saw how she now floated towards Sonic, who has been remarkably quiet all this time (perhaps because he had no clue what the others were talking about), landing softly in his arms.
Sally looked at Sonic with big eyes and Alicia could almost see her daughter blush under her fur. Sonic, on the other hand, smirked his usual smirk, though Alicia could have sworn it was a little softer then what she usual saw. He then put Sally gently back down. It was a good thing Alicia didn't look at Violett that very moment, otherwise she would have seen the sweat on her face and her heavy breathing. She would have doubted her powers, seeing that using telekinesis on Sally really exhausted her.
"What makes you think you can come up against Lupa? You do know the power she's got, don't you?" Max spoke, walking towards Violett.
"I doubt I can come up against her," was the answer.
"Then why should I give you the sword?"
"Because I can exhaust her," Violett said this as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And I have powerful friends at my side that she won't be able to take it up with if she's tired."
Max was quiet. You could clearly his royal brain working. His gaze was fixed on Violett. Everybody else looked at Max, awaiting his decision. The room was deadly quiet. Every sound would have been disturbing as long as the King was thinking whether he should give her the sword or not. Then his gaze fell upon Sonic. It was clear that these "powerful friends" Violett had been talking about were Sonic and his friends.
"How many has she got?" Max finally broke the silence.
"Two", was Violett simple answer.
"How many have you got?"
"Two if you would give me yours".
Again, silence fell into the room. Again, minutes passed before Max spoke.
"Sally, give them the sword", was his decision.
"What? But father …"
"Don't question me! Give them the sword!"
"As you wish, father." Sally almost spat and turned to Violett and Sonic. "Follow me." She said and stormed off to one of the doors in the room.
The room they walked into was high, higher than the throne hall. It was quite wide and perfectly round. Looking up, you could see terraces on different floors and a staircase going along the wall. In the middle of the room was a pool, also perfectly round, filled with an orange, glimmering liquid. Sally took of her vest and her boots and walked into the pool. A few seconds later, it started glowing from the middle. That very moment, King Max and Queen Alicia walked into the room.
"Sally is the one the sword of Acorns chose as the heir of the throne." Max explained. "That's why she's the only one who can get it from pool."
"She's not." Violett said." She's merely the only one on this planet, galaxy, perhaps even in this dimension who can get it. I could get it just as well, but I don't like getting undressed."
Then, Sally came out of the pool. Her mother, who carried a bathrobe, went to Sally, who now had the sword of Acorns in her hand, and gently placed it over her shoulders.
"You know that it only accepts members of the royal family, don't you?" Sally said.
"You don't know half of the powers and secrets that are around this sword." Violett responded.
"And I suppose you do?"
"I know more then you, that's enough."
Sally and Violett stared at each other for a while, until Sally held out the sword for Violett to take it. And so she did, only that it didn't happen without consequences. The very moment her grip on the sword tightened, an orange light came from its blade, surrounding Violett. The light filled the whole room, running around Violett and the sword in waves. Violett shut her eyes tight, and her grip on the sword tightened, too. Her whole body tensed as though she was in great pain. Then, the sword started talking.
"You are not worthy!" it spoke.
"How am I not worthy?" Violett asked, opening her eyes a little. "Didn't Mirromeere and Nightshade take part in creating you?"
"Show that you are a worthy, daughter of Nightshade. Pass this test and I shall obey your commands."
After these words were spoken, the light brightened. The soft waves became harder, bigger and ran faster. Violetts head snapped back and she screamed. Her voice filled the whole room and so did the wind that now came from the sword. The light became so bright, it was almost impossible to see what happened. Violett, however, pulled herself together. She gripped the sword tighter and under enormous effort, pulled her arm up. With another scream, the light started running the other way around to the sword and in a beam into the air.
When the show was over, Violetts arm fell back to her side. Her head lay in her neck and she was breathing heavily. Sweat was on her face and eyes were closed. Sonic was the first to approach her.
"Hey Vi, you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry." Violett smiled back weakly. "I thank you for your trust your majesties. We will bring the sword back to you as soon as the threat has gone."
With a wave of her hand, the sword vanished. She turned around and left for the throne hall. Sonic grinned one more time at Sally before he followed Violett out.
"Mother? Who is this girl?" Sally asked when they were both out the door.
"She is a magician."Alicia answered. "Her magic is strong and ancient and her family-tree reaches deeper than yours. But you'll learn about her soon enough. It's time we teach you the royal rules."
=!=!=!=!
"So, what was that all about?" Sonic asked when they were out of the castle.
"What do you mean?"Violett asked back.
"Well…you know… that weird lightshow with the sword and this insider-conversation. And who's Nightshade?"
"You'll learn soon enough."
Sonic laughed at this.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You're not gonna tell me anything with that has to do with that mission you're on, right?"
"Almost. I'm not going to tell you anything that have to do with many different things."
"You gonna tell me why you wanted me to come with you?"
"To sooth the princess' temper. The fact that you were with me made her hold back a little. She would've gotten into a lot of trouble with her parent if she hadn't."
"Oh yeah, how come you knew that I am a friend of Sally's"
"I know a lot of things about you and Sally."
"And how did you know she's not gonna hold back without me? You a fortune teller or something?"
That made Violett giggle a bit.
"A fortune teller? Me? No, I have absolutely no seer powers."
"But then how …"
"I guess you can call it intuition. Mages have a very strong Intuition, though, it's a little different with every mage."
Silence…
"I have a question for you." Violett said after a while.
"What?"
"How come you were so quiet in the castle. I don't know you that good, but I'm pretty sure you're not the quiet type of person."
Sonic could feel Violetts eyes resting on him and he had the feeling that she was looking right through him. He felt like she knew the answer already, as though she knew how he worked and he didn't like it. Why he was so quiet in the castle? The answer was Sally. He had so many memories with her and it was so long ago since he last recalled them. And then there was King Max. Probably the only Person Sonic was scared of. He didn't dare say anything because he felt like it would only make the situation even worse. The only thing Sonic could do when he had no clue of what's going on was to be cocky and try and catch up, but not when the King was evolved. And then there was the simple fact that Sonic had no clue of what's going on, so there wasn't really anything he could say to the topic.
"Didn't feel like talking." Was the only thing Sonic actually said as an answer to Violett's question.
"After that I brought Violett back to Amy's house. We talked quite a lot on the way. She asked me to tell her of my adventures, so it was mostly me who did the talking." Sonic finished.
"Well, I'm glad that Sally's still okay." Amy smiled.
"Sure thing. And who knows, maybe she'll start acting normally again one day!"
The evening went on and Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy enjoyed one of their very last uneventful nights together. After all, none of them knew of all the things that were going to happen on their newest and possibly biggest adventure yet.
Me: Yay, I'm finished. And the questions to be answered are: Who are Mirromeere Nightshade, who is Lupa, why is she after the sword of Acorns, what exactly is the sword of Acorns, what's up with
Violetts Family tree and a lot of other things. And as special guests we have Sonic and Amy here. So, what are your questions?
Amy: Will Sonic and I marry?
Sonic and Me: (Sweatdrop)
Sonic: Will Sally appear again?
Amy: (Angry) Why are you always asking for Sally? I'm the one you're supposed to ask for!
Sonic and Me: (Sweatdrop)
Me: No, Sally will probably not appear again:
Knuckles: When will I appear again?
Sonic: What on earth are you doing here? You're not a guest.
Knuckles: Oh and I suppose you are?
Sonic: Uh … yeah?
Knuckles: Yeah right, who'll believe you?
Sonic: I'll show you how much you can believe me! (Punches Knuckles in the face)
Knuckles: You want a fight blue? You can have it!
*Sonic and Knuckles start fighting*
Amy and Me: (Sweatdrop)
Me: Uh … yeah. Let's call it a day for now. Please review. I would be so happy if you did.
