Me: Hi there, I'm bahack!
Sonic: Great! So what's gonna happen in this chap?
Amy: Are Sonic and I going to marry?
Me: Amy, knock it! It's just a bit of magic and a bit of fighting.
Knuckles: YES! Finally, a fight! Am I going to be in it?
Me: Yes Knuckles, you're going to be the center of the fight.
Knuckles: ALRIGHT! *Laughs and punches his fists into the air*
Tails: When are you going to tell him that he'll look like a dork?
Me: Not at all. Sheelaflower does not own Sonic the hedgehog nor any of its characters, except for Violett, Lupa and Shane. All rights belong to Sega.
Training Session Part 1
Tails was sitting on the captain chair of the Blue Typhoon, typing something into the computer of the ship. There was nobody in the huge cockpit except for him. Why should anyone be there? The autopilot was on and the ship was dazing lazily in space. It was quiet in the cockpit, which was the perfect condition to work for Tails. That way, he could fully concentrate on what he was doing. The only noise that interrupted the silence was a zoom and coming from a blue streak that crossed the room.
"Hey Sonic!" Tails yelled when the blue streak was about to leave the room.
Sonic stopped immediately and ran back to Tails.
"What's up, bro?" He asked.
"Have you seen Vi?"
"Nope! Haven't seen her all day."
It was already the second day the group was on the Blue Typhoon. Things had quickly become quiet as there was nothing to do. Everybody had to entertain themselves somehow. Tails did a great Job by making adjustments on the computer of the ship, while Sonic ran around, doing jobs for his friends.
"What do you need her for?" He asked.
"Well, I think she said that we needed to go to another dimension, but I need her for that. She is the only one who can control in which dimension we'll come out after we activate the dimensional items."
Sonic just looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"The dimensional Items are Items with enormous power that can create holes in the walls that part the different dimensions. Apparently, our new mission is to gather them." Tails explained.
"Oh, okay, I get it now."
"I also need the coordinates of the planet we're heading to."
"Okay, I'll go look for her." Sonic said and sped off.
He ran through half the ship, looking for the newest member of the team, but Violett was nowhere to be found. She wasn't in her room, not with Rouge, not with Vanilla, not with any of the Chaotix and not in any of the floors either. Sonic kept running through the ship until he almost crashed with Cream.
"Oh, Mr. Sonic! It's good that I meet you here. Miss Violett is searching for you." She said as sweet as ever.
"Cool! I'm looking for her, too. Do you know where I can find her?" Sonic asked.
"I think she's still in training hall. At least that's where she was heading when I saw her this morning."
"Thanks Cream! I'm off then!" said Sonic and off he was again, leaving Cream on her own.
She looked after Sonic for a few seconds, who had already disappeared behind the next corner, then turned around and went to Charmy's room. He had invited her over to play and she was humming happily on her way to his room.
The training hall was nothing but a huge battlefield; yet, it was more than enough for Violett, who had stopped her training the moment she felt a great source of power that obviously belonged to Sonic, heading her way. She was just putting her shirt back on when he entered the field.
"Sonic, I've been…" she started, but Sonic wouldn't let her finish.
"Yeah, yeah, you've been looking for me, I know, but before we start on whatever you want from me, could you please go to see Tails first? He's in the cockpit.
"Why should I go to Tails?" Violett asked, tilting her head to the side a little.
"He needs your help on going through another dimension and he needs the coordinates of the planet we're heading to, too."
"WHAT? I haven't given them to him yet?" Violett asked shocked. "I have to go to him immediately!" And with that she ran to the door.
What she hadn't counted with was Sonic. He ran up to her and lifted her bridal style.
"How about I give I give you a lift? It's faster that way." He said and sped off, not even waiting for Violett's answer.
Violett was too surprised to react and by the time she had gotten a hold of herself, they were already halfway to the cockpit.
"Hey Sonic," Amy said when Sonic reached her, but instead of greeting her back, he ran right past her.
"Honestly", she huffed, angered by Sonics behavior, "it wouldn't have killed him to at least say hello, would it?" And with that, she continued going to wherever she went, her eyes closed, her nose high in the air.
"Violett, the items!" Tails said to Violett.
She nodded and lifted both her hands into the air. A sword and a diadem appeared out of nowhere right into them. Then she went to the middle of the room and used her telekinesis to make them float next to her. Next, she took the ring and put it on her right hand, which she stretched out. The ring started glowing, floating and twirling and you could see how Violett released the telekinesis on the sword and the diadem. The glow of the ring took over on the other two items and made sure they stayed in the air.
"Rouge, open the front canon!" Tails ordered Rouge, who sat in the same place as when they took off.
"Coming up, sweety." Rouge answered.
On the very front of the ship there was a blue tip on the yellow cone that disappeared inside and out came a long spear. The end of the spear parted, making it look like a triton with only two tops.
"Alright Vi, go on!" Tails ordered.
Violett did as she was told. On the floor beneath her, a circle with the same strange symbols that were on the dress she used to wear appeared. Around the circle, a ring appeared and many small tracks led away from it, a little like in the inside of a computer. You could clearly see how the energy that Violett gave away appeared on the circle and escaped into the tracks from there. A small ball of white mass appeared in front of the canon.
"Canon ready to fire!" Cream, who was also sitting on the place she sat at the take off, said.
"Alright! Fire Canon!" Tails ordered.
Vector, who sat in the seat next to Cream this time, pushed a button and the small ball of white mass shoot into the nothingness in a white streak.
"Open Portal!" Violett muttered the moment the white streak disappeared.
Everybody who was in the cockpit could see waves appearing in the middle of nowhere and the white mass transformed into a white ring the spread out, creating a hole, also in the middle of nowhere. Tails coordinated the ship right into the hole. It didn't look much different on the other side of the hole, only the stars were located a little different.
"Okay that's it." Violett said.
She took the ring and tied it back around her neck. Then she took the sword and the diadem and made threw them into the air, where they simply disappeared.
"Thanks everybody. You can go do whatever you were doing." Tails said and with that, Cream, Rouge and Vector disappeared into different directions.
Violett went up to Tails and the two talked to each other for a minute, both looking at the screen of the board computer. Tails typed in a few things while Violett showed him a few things.
"WHAT? But that's on the other side of the Universe!" Tails suddenly cried out. "Couldn't you have made us come out a little closer to that planet?"
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I not. I have mastered to control in which time and in which dimension we land, but not the place. I'm working on it, but I really don't know when I'll be able to do it." Violett apologized.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. It's not like we don't have time."
Time was the only thing they didn't have at the moment, but Violett wasn't sure it was wise to tell Tails that right now.
"What was I called here for?" Knuckles, who had been standing next to Sonic in the corner of the room, asked.
Tails and Violett looked at each other. "I want to begin training. That's the reason I was looking for Sonic earlier." Violett smiled.
)!)!)!)!)!)!)!)!)!)
"I don't need training!" Knuckles grunted when they were on the battle field.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were sitting on the ground, Sonic in the middle. Violett was standing in front of them.
"Alright then, if you don't need training, you may go…."
Knuckles was just about to stand up when Violett continued. "…if you manage to defeat me in a mock battle." She said.
Knuckles said back down and crossed his arms. "I don't fight against girls." He huffed.
"HAHA! Right! Since when?" Sonic laughed. "You're always eager for a fight, no matter with whom!"
Violett could clearly see a vine popping up on Knuckles head. He had a very short temper, Violett had found out that much about him. And the two who could make him mad like no one else were Sonic and Rouge.
"It just doesn't feel right, attacking a helpless lady." Knuckles yelled into Sonics face.
"Then how about you go easy on me?" Violett smiled.
You could clearly see how his little brain was working inside of his head. All three, being Violett, Sonic, Tails and Violett waited patiently for a long while until Sonic's patience came to an end.
"MAKE U P YOUR MIND ALREADY!" He yelled into Knuckles face.
"Alright, I'll fight you!" Knuckles finally said, showing his fist and the two huge Knuckles on it.
Knuckles stood up and got into fighting position. Violett on the other hand just kept standing the way she had all the time, gracefully as ever. Every single move she made was graceful and lady-like. That's one of the reason why Cream looked up to her the way she did; not as her elder sister like Amy, but like an example that she wanted to follow.
The fact that Violett didn't stir a muscle made Knuckles mad. He charged towards her, but she still didn't move. However, Tails noticed how she was observing Knuckles every move, as she had did with him when they first met. Only when he tried to hit her did she suddenly disappear. Knuckles blinked two times and then noticed the shadow that suddenly covered his face. He looked up and saw Violett, who had jumped high into the air. Gracefully as always, she landed on Knuckles outstretched arm, in the same position she was in before she jumped. The amazing thing about it was that she made it look easy, as if it didn't take any effort at all.
"What on … ?" Knuckles said, not quite grasping what just happened.
With a grunt, he threw the arm Violett was standing on up. She didn't lose balance and fall, like Knuckles hoped. Instead, she used that force to heave herself even higher into the air. Knuckles jumped after her and tried to punch her again, but Violett threw her upper body backwards and with a somersault backwards, she landed gracefully on the floor. Knuckles tried to hit her by crashing his foot down on her, using the speed of his fall, but Violett jumped backwards. But before she did, Tails noticed how a small smirk made its way to Violett's lips.
When Violett straightened up, Tails noticed that there was a difference in her stance, though he couldn't quite figure out what it was.
"Alright, that's it! No more Mister Nice Guy!" Knuckles yelled.
"Now he's pissed." Sonic whispered to Tails, who nodded in agreement.
Knuckles charged towards Violett again and this time, he tried hitting her with full force. Tails was the only one who actually saw Violett move. In the very last moment, she moved none foot to the side and her whole body turned with it. Because of that one move, Knuckles fist passed right by her and he only punched the air. He tried punching her Violett over and over again, but she dodged every single move, with the least of effort, doing only one or two steps.
Tails eyes widened when he looked closely at her movements. He noticed that sometimes, she moved before even Knuckles did. Could she foresee his movements? Sonic had just the same thoughts. Violett didn't even pay attention to Knuckles.
"ARGH! WHY ON EARTH CAN'T I HIT YOU?" He yelled.
Violett only smiled. Knuckles was sweating and breathing heavily by now, but Violett didn't seem to have used any energy at all. Sonic and Tails knew why, of course; while Knuckles did huge movements over and over again, using up a lot of his energy, Violett only did a step or two to dodge every single punch, using up hardly any energy at all. She was well trained, that much was for sure.
"You two can help out, you know." She said, to Sonic and Tails.
The two looked at each other for a second, before standing up and joining the fight. Nothing changed, however. Violett made big movements the first few times, but then started evading every attack with just a few steps. Not even Sonic's super speed or combo-attacks could get to her. They tried over and over and over again, but nothing worked. In the end, all three were out of breath. They were on the floor in front of Violett, who was still in the same condition she was in before they started fighting. On the other hand, Sonic Tails and Knuckles could hardly move. Knuckles was lying flat on the floor, Tails was on all fours and Sonic could just barely keep his upper body up. All three were totally out of breath and were sweating like mad.
"I defeated you without even touching you or using an attack." Violett smiled.
Sonic forced one eye open and looked at Violett. "Can you foresee our attacks?" He asked her.
"I definitely know that I don't have any seer-powers, if that's what you mean." She answered.
"Then why can't any of us hit you?" Knuckles asked weakly.
"Yeah! You make a move to evade before we even do the attack. How is that possible if you can't see into the future?" Tails cried.
"Only because I can't see into the future doesn't mean that I don't know what you next move is going to be." Violett said calmly.
Sonic Tails and knuckles looked at each other. "How … ?" Sonic started, but he didn't know how to go on, but Violett understood anyways.
"That is for you to figure out." She said. "I will give each of you homework; you are to figure out how to hit me. Of course, in order to be able to that, you have to figure out my trick. You are not allowed to go ask anyone for the solution." With that, she looked at Knuckles. "You are not allowed to ask for anyone's help." With that, she looked at Sonic. "And you are not allowed to give any hints or help as soon as you've figured out the trick." With that, she looked at Tails.
"We shall meet again tomorrow, same time, same place. And let me tell you this; you have started training together, but each one of you will advance differently. That's why you'll soon be training separately. It might even be the case that you'll start training separately starting tomorrow, since you are only to come if you have finished the homework I gave you."
Violett looked at each of them. During her speech, she seemed like a really firm teacher, but then she smiled and looked like the graceful young lady that she is again.
"Dismissed", she smiled.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles stood up and dragged their feet to the huge common room. All three let themselves fall on the couches and groaned.
"I'm beat!" Knuckles mumbled.
"Yeah, so am I." Tails agreed. "Who knew Vi had it in her like that? She doesn't seem like the fighter-type to me."
Sonic didn't say anything. His mind was already on Violett's homework. How do you defeat somebody who knows your next move? And how do you foresee moves without having any seer-powers? There was one thing Sonic knew; this was going to be pretty hard to figure out.
Me: Okay, that's the first part of Training Session for you.
Sonic: Darn, that Violett is good.
Violett: Thank you.
Sonic: Whoa, Vi, don't sneak up on me like that, you gave me a heart attack!
Violett: Sorry
Sonic: Why is Vi so good in battling?
Me: You'll find out in the fourth season. But if you want to know the answer to her task, stay tuned!
