Omg were almost done, about 2 maybe 3 chapters left, oh this is thrilling, OK so not really but I got a few comments on how shocked you were that Knuckles and Tails did the jobs of Timon and Pumbaa. Ok so we left off with Mufasa's ghost appearing and now we start from there.
(Sonic's POV)
The group and I stared in shock as a rumbling was heard in the sky and the clouds took the form of mydead father who actually started to speak to our shock; Sonic, the apparition bellowed; FATHER? I was somehow able to utter, What the ghost spoke next surprised all of us; Sonic, You have forgotten me; I was shocked; No, I stated; How could I? I then asked; If ghosts could glare then this one was giving me the scariest one possible; You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me; Take a look inside yourself Sonic; You are more, than what you have become, You MUST take your place in the Circle of Life; I then started to speak with tears in my eyes; HOW CAN I GO BACK? I asked, I'm not who I used to be. I stated; My father then took a more strict tone and then his image cleared up to where you could see him perfectly just his eyes where white entirely; REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! YOU ARE MY SON, AND THE ONE TRUE KING; As soon as he said that my face was soaked in tears; he then started to disappear within the clouds while Telling me to remember who I am; I tried to run while screaming; NO WAIT, DON'T LEAVE ME! FATHER, don't leave me; I looked down as I heard footsteps and saw as my friends were behind me with their jaws dropped.
(Amy's POV)
Did that just happen? We looked at sonic to see what he wanted to do and he spoke; I know what I have to do; But going back also means facing my past; I've been running from it for so long; I then looked at him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. If you're going back then I'm going with you; He looked at me then smiled; But that moment was ruined when Cream, who ran home to greet her mother ran back screaming while being chased by a green hedgehog; just as this said hedgehog lunged at the scared rabbit, Sonic lunged at him and tackled him to the ground and the two were circling each other while snapping their jaws and popping out their claws. The predator then lunged at Sonic and they were rolling until Sonic was pinned by the pissed off predator; Sonic then stared at the hedgehog with wide eyes and spoke one name that made us all freeze; Manic? He asked surprised; with his eyes opened the now revealed Manic climbed off Sonic and asked; just who are you? He asked; Sonic replied with a grin; It's me, Sonic; Manic's eyes then widened and he spoke; SONIC? They then started to circle around each other while laughing chatting like nothing happened; DUDE WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE? Manic asked; Sonic then replied; I live here; so how's life? Manic then looked down and spoke sadly. Terrible; Scar took over as King of the pridelands and now it's a barren wasteland because he let the hyenas beck into the territory and now we since had to hunt for twice as much, everything either died out or left for better grazing grounds; Sonic's eyes widened at this; WHAT? He screamed; Manic then added, There is nothing there, No food, No water and to make matters worse, Scar refuses to let us leave to find new land so the other hedgehogs are starting to die of thirst or hunger more each day; Sonic's eyes widened in horror; he then spoke; Well all this stops because I'm going back to Challenge Scar and take his place as King; Manic then looked at Sonic and spoke; You'd do that for us? Sonic then looks at his childhood friend in surprise; Of course I would now let me introduce you to the others. He then brought Manic over to us and Introduced us and I saw Manic eyeing me with a smirk; after that was done; Sonic walked in the direction of the nearest Chilidog with everybody following; I was about to go as well but a hand grabbed my arm and I saw Manic looking at me With a smirk; He then spoke; Amy right? I nodded and he continued on; I can see for a fact that you have an interest in Sonic so I'll ask this very important question; when he becomes king, which he will by the way; Will you decide to live in the Pride lands or come back here? Because I promise you this, if you decide to leave and come back here; there's a 50 -50 chance you'll never see him again. My eyes widened, I never thought about that; I decided to give it some thought later when I saw Sonic coming towards us with a chilidog in his hand and he passed it to Manic; Manic eyed it the same way YS did; Sonic then spoke; Dude trust me on this, It tastes a lot better than it looks. Manic eyed the chilidog wearily and then took a bite; his eyes widened and he swallowed and quickly shoved the whole thing in his mouth; DAMN THAT'S TASTY; he said with his mouth full. Sonic pointed to a table and I saw it had a HUGE plate of chilidogs on it and Manic ran JUST AS FAST as Sonic towards that plate; I stood shocked at that; I looked at Sonic and Asked; How can he do that? He smirked and spoke; it's a pridelander thing, that's the result of a predator diet for a hedgehog; I used to live in the pridelands ergo; I looked at him in amazement; So your telling me that If I kill and eat another animal; I'll get just as fast as you? Sonic scoffed; It takes a while of the diet for any changes to be noticeable but if you prey on other animals for about a year or two then you'll be just as fast as me if not faster. I thought for a moment; so what's The Circle of Life that your dad was talkin about? I asked; he looked down sadly for a moment and I knew I hit a tender spot. It's a royalty thing; Sonic spoke. He then gathered up the rest of the gang minus Shadow, who wanted to head back to the Space Colony Ark; Rouge, who was on an assignment from G.U.N; Cream, who went home to her mother after meeting Manic cause it was her bedtime and Silver who was god knows where. The total group was; Sonic, Me, Manic, Tails and Knuckles; Sonic looked at us and spoke; Manic and I are heading back to the pridelands right now and I was hoping for all of you to come and fight with us; And I was also hoping that when the fight was over and If I become king…. Manic then interrupted and spoke; WHEN YOU BECOME KING you mean. Sonic chuckled and corrected his sentence; WHEN I become king, I was hoping you'd all consider the PrideLands your home. Tails immediately answered; Dude, I'm coming with ya and when it's over and you become King I'm movin into the house closest to yours. Sonic looked at Tails and spoke; we actually have one huge den that all of us share which Is very comfy, the royal have a certain platform and the others sleep below that platform so we'd share a room like normal. Knuckles then spoke; I'll move Angle Island over by the river in the pridelands so that way I could live in the pridelands and still guard the Master Emerald. Sonic then looked at me; what do you want to do? I looked at him and spoke; you're the love of my life so wherever you go, I'll always follow. Sonic smiled and he spoke; Manic, take Knux and tails in the direction of the Pridelands; I have to talk with Amy alone a moment; I looked at the others as they became dots in the distance and I heard Sonic start to speak; Ames the reason I asked to walk with you is that I was wondering, if I became King of the PrideLands; Would you want do me the honor of becoming my Queen?
