(Sonic's POV)
I told everything to my mom on my iPhone and she was very proud how I'm doing for the past few days. She doesn't seem worried about me being away from her. At least she's happy that I'm making new friends. Well, even if we aren't related I'm still their half uncle or whatever. Doesn't matter; to me they are friends to me.
"Sleep well, mom. It's almost sunset near my place" I said as I hung up.
I walked outside to see my sidekick Pegasus cleaning his wings like a bird, "Hey bud. Tough day, huh?" I petted his snout.
Sky neighed and nuzzled against me.
"So you're the son of Zeus? Hmph! Very young for a demigod like your cousins" A voice said behind me.
I turned around to see three mobian birds wearing sunglasses.
"Yes and who are you?" I asked.
"We are the children of the Fate sisters. I'm Jet, son of Atropos" The green hawk said.
They both removed their sunglasses to reveal they have no eyes but Jet has one eyeball on his left eye. Creepy.
"Wave, daughter of Lachesis" Wave introduced.
"Storm, son of Clotho" Storm said.
"Wait, you mean Fate sisters that don't have eyes but share one to each other? Those that see the past, present, and future?" I asked.
"Yes, and we can tell your future" Jet said, plucking out his and his friend's only eye.
"I already know what my future is. That I the son of Zeus will stop the son of Medusa" I said.
"But do you wanna see how it may go?" Jet said.
"No thanks. Revealing the future can change everything. Like an alternate time paradox or something" I said.
"Suit yourself. Your future is inevitable" Jet said.
"Inevitable? Sometimes fate finds a way to know what my future is. Like the other day I didn't know that I was a demigod. Fate brought me here to this island. But you can tell me the past. How did the demigods find this island in the Pacific Ocean?" I said, hoping that they can tell me.
"Poseidon created this island way before we were born. Zeus created the village on the island for homes and everything for the demigod children. Aphrodite created a barrier to keep monsters out. Like a force field" Jet said.
"Okay. Let me see when Scourge was here" I demanded to see back when Scourge lived there.
"Shall we Jet?" Wave suggested.
"Yes" They hover their only eyeball and it forms like projections some time ago.
It showed me of the time where Scourge had cold glares, even though he had sunglasses on. Other young demigods try to get along with him but Scourge was somehow very mean and very selfish when he pushed kids away.
It also showed me how he threatened Tails and Silver, demanding them to tell their god parent to take Scourge to Olympus but they both refused.
And another showed me how other 5 demigods sacrificed themselves to save Silver and Tails from becoming statues.
Another showed how the demigods begged for Zeus' help to ban Scourge off the island. My father sent his pet eagle to carry Scourge and sent him to a place in in New York in the sewage underground tunnel.
"My god!" I was horrified after all he has done. That gorgon hedgehog is so much like his gorgon relatives.
"Yeah. But what he felt was pain when his mother died. And he seeks revenge on Silver and Tails' god parents. But he fears that you would stop him just like Perseus killed Medusa" Wave said.
"If he felt so much misery, why couldn't he give anyone a chance? He has a half-brother, Silver. He's not alone" I said.
"Because Scourge is not a mobian like all of you. He's half gorgon, half god. He cares about having his mother back" Storm said.
"He threatened Shadow to bring his mother's soul back from the dead but Shadow told him that there's no body of Medusa to be revived back. Souls can't be brought back without a body" Jet said.
"Everyone told me Scourge's immortal" I said.
"Yeah, his aunts gave him immortality centuries ago" Jet said.
"But he can die like a mortal being. Immortality makes him not age" Wave said.
"Okay. But when does he first strike?" I wondered.
"We can't tell you that. Like you said, if we tell you it would change the future" Jet said, putting his eye back in his left socket.
"Then I guess I'll do my best" I said while leaving them, "Oh, and don't cut my thread of life. I'm not ready to die" I added before leaving.
"Very well" Jet replied.
I went to my best buddy Tails to see how he was doing. I hope he's not too traumatized by Scourge coming after him.

I found him petting his pet snowy owl. Heh, just like his mother.
"Hey buddy" I waved at him.
"Hey Sonic. How do you feel about being on this island with your kind for the past few days?" Tails asked me.
"It feels great but I miss my original home. Manhattan is my life. Lady Liberty, Time Square, and the Empire State Building are one of my favorite places to see" I said.
"Me too but demigods are very hard to fit in with normal people" Tails sighs.
"All because of our powers? You never saw your two tails as a gift?" I asked.
"I do but everyone thought that having two tails is bad. It really offends me that they think I had a gene mutation or something" Tails said, hiding his anger.
"You fly with your two tails before. Maybe they're jealous of how special we are. But having something special doesn't mean it makes us popular. No one is on top of popularity" I said with honesty.
"They were jealous of my intellect too. I got A in almost every test" Tails said.
"Exactly. As for me, they were jealous of how fast I am and able to read Ancient Greek. But in my perspective the Greek words shift itself to translate it in English for me. No one else can see it like me" I said, there were times that I thought it was dyslexia but it wasn't.
"Yeah. But I am really sorry for tranquilizing you back then" Tails said.
"It's fine. You lead me to know the truth. I am amazed that I'm a demigod, made new friends, and saw Greek mythology stuff. And I'm sure you were the same way when you found out you were a demigod" I said with honesty.
"Yes. But we're always best friends right?" Tails asked.
I placed a hand on his shoulder smiling, "Of course Tails. Nephew or not, you're still my best pal"
"Heheheheh" Tails laughed and hugged me.
"If our god parents were here they would still be proud of us. I'm a demigod prince of skies and thunder. You're a demigod of wisdom like your mother" I said.
"Mmhmm. But hey, is it about Scourge again? I can tell that on your face" Tails asked.
"Maybe. I'm just worried that he would hurt you again. The Fate cousins showed me everything about the past" I said.
"They showed you everything from their one eyeball, didn't they?" Tails asked.
"Yes. I am very worried for you" I said.
"That is why you are the one to stop him. Your half-brothers were legends, Sonic. And now it's your turn to do the same. My mother had no children but only me" Tails said.
"Yes. But this is inevitable" I said.
"You don't know that for sure. Hercules, Perseus, and all other demigods never failed. It's not fate that decides for your future, it's a choice it makes for you" Tails said.
"Then I have to choose wisely" I said.
"Exactly. You're choosing to be just like your half-brother Perseus" Tails said.
"Yeah, but also like Hercules too when I discovered I got godlike strength like him" I said.
"You are just like those two. And I'm becoming more like my mother every day. I have smart brains, my pet owl, my weapon like hers. Even though I don't have any half siblings" Tails said.
"You're more like a brother to me than a nephew" I said.
"You really think so?" Tails asked curiously.
"Sure. We've been really close like bros" I said.
"You're right. Now we need to…" Tails was interrupted.
"Guys hurry over!" Blaze shouted from miles away.

We hurried over to her to see what she has to tell us.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"It's a message from Scourge" She held out a note from an arrow.
"What?" I picked the note and started to read it.
Greetings Sonic. You will know that soon this pretty little island will be without its protection shield and there's nothing you can do to save your friends. I'm looking forward to see your despair when you face your downfall.
Scourge the Gorgonhog
As soon as I read it, my anger was rising. That bastard has no idea what he's talking about, "What does he mean the shield will be gone? Is there a source? This can't be?!"
"My mother created the barrier on this island. He's just bluffing" Amy said.
"I think he wants me out of the island. I must go out there alone" I crumbled the note in my hands.
"Are you crazy?! You'll turn into stone!" Amy objects.
"You don't know everything about him, Sonic. Doing it alone is suicide" Tails said.
"And remember the last time you chickened out when the hydra popped out of the ocean?" Silver said.
"Yes but I had to overcome it to defeat it" I said.
"I'm coming with you buddy. You need me" Tails said.
"Me too" Amy said.
"All of us are with you, Sonic. Except we don't know where Scourge is. He's only after Silver and Tails so that he can get access to Olympus. Mortals can't cross the gates to the realm of gods, only demigods can" Nebula said.
"Alright. But you can't all come with me. I'm just picking two or three to come with me" I said.
"Then choose, Sonic" Knuckles said.
"Very well. I choose Silver, Shadow, and Amy. You two are my cousins and our fathers beaten our grandfather and we might do the same by defeating Scourge. As for you Amy, your love is very strong. Sometimes a hero needs a woman to guide him" I said.
"You can count on me Sonikku" Amy said and shakes hands with me.
"Uhh...thanks" I chuckled nervously when she said my nickname; even though it sounds cute but a little embarrassing when people hear it.
"Ready buddy?" Tails bro-fists with me.
"Ready. But for now we all need some sleep" I said and bro fisted him.
"Yes, then we can be ready for the gorgon pest" Shadow said.
(Knuckles' POV)
The next morning I was training Sticks since she knows that her people are the daughters of my father. And of course she wants me to train her but I can't since I have to train Sonic and his cousins. So much for being a general in this island.
"Okay Sticks. Don't let your guard down" I said while holding up my sword and shield.
"In the name of the Amazons I shall hold my ground!" Sticks salutes and then clashed her sword with mine. I pushed her back a bit.
And when she swung her sword at me I would either block with my shield or lock with my sword or even strike back. I jumped back up on a rock and Sticks rears her sword back and swung at me but I blocked it again with my sword.
"Good. Now time to go rough!" I drew my sword back and pretended to attack when she counters with her own sword.
Sticks then knocks my sword off my hand and she kicks me down pointing her sword at my throat.
"Give up General" Sticks grins.
I just pushed away the tip of the sword and got up, "Very good Sticks" I said while picking up my sword.
We got back into training and we now used helmets in combat. Each time I swung my sword Sticks would shield herself and then counter with her own sword.
"Give up, uncle Knuckles!" Sticks taunted me.
"A warrior never gives up til they win!" I responded to her.
Then when we clashed our swords for the final time we struggled until it became too great and we backed off by the push.
"Okay, let's call that a tie" I said.
"There's no tie for my people" Sticks glared.
"Whatever but we are getting nowhere to winning. Right now I got to train Sonic and his cousins" I said.
"Alright" Sticks said as she left.
(Sonic's POV)
My cousins and I are at the cafeteria place having our morning meal.
"Alright, so are you guys ready for training today?" I asked them.
"You bet. Wait til I bring you down in sword fighting" Silver said.
"I thought you're a shark warrior. You battle both on land and water" I said.
"I am. But we, cousins or nephews or nieces need to co-operate" Silver said.
"Uh huh. I battle in the skies, Shadow battles on land, and you battle in water. It's like the three of us have elements or something" I said.
"You could say that. I control fire and it would be four elements" Blaze said.
"Like the sun that your father rises and sets down" Silver said.
"Mmmhm" Blaze nods.
"Do you talk to zombies, Shads?" I asked.
"I can since they are already dead" Shadow said.
"Interesting. What about anything that is undead?" I asked again
"Walking dead skeletons, corpses, and anything dead? Yes" Shadow said.
"Okay. Sounds like a great power" I said.
"I wonder if you talk to birds. After all, birds are the only ones that fly high in the sky" Shadow smirked.
"No I don't" I replied.
"When was the last time you talked to birds?" Silver asked.
"Never and I dunno when" I shrugged.
"Your father and...well...stepmom Hera...have animal sidekick birds. His is an eagle and hers is a peacock" Silver said.
"Makes sense. But Hera tried to have Hercules killed once" I said.
"That was a story, Sonic. Yes she can be very upset when Zeus has a lot of affair to make more children" Silver said.
"Right. But never mind. Just how in some stories the Nemean lion came from the moon" I said.
"Or other legend stories were wrong. Making everyone believe it's true. Like did Cleopatra really kill herself or did someone else kill her? To cover it up?" Blaze said.
"She was bitten by a cobra I think" I said.
"Usually I don't believe that story is true. There are some legend stories that aren't true" Blaze said.
"Well, there was one time that I've been to the Atlantic Ocean I saw some debris and collapsed temples. It could be Atlantis but everyone thinks it's a myth. Mortals never found Atlantis for centuries" Silver said, finishing his fish sticks.
"As well as the Greek mythology that everyone thinks it's just a myth. Anyways, my cousins and I gotta train hard if we want our home protected" I said, throwing my tray in the garbage bin.
"Good luck boys" Blaze said.

A while later we found Knuckles talking to the statue; probably his father Ares.
"Knuckles, it's time!" I called him.
"Gotta go Dad" Knuckles said to his father before the statue became lifeless.
"Make me proud boy" Ares said before he left.
"So what are we gonna do? Kick ass? Sword fighting? Jackie Chan Kung fu moves? What?" I asked, being cocky like always.
"Sword fighting warrior style" Knuckles said, putting on a Spartan helmet.
"We've done like a hundred times, Knuckles. I'm a trident fighter. My weapon is my trident" Silver twirling his trident.
"Do you think we can try our own weapons? Just like my father and my cousins' fathers that defeated our grandfather. After all, we are the descendants" I said, twirling my bolt staff.
"Well then. Who wants to challenge me then? The general of Demigods" Knuckles held his fists up.
(Shadow's POV)
Hmph. This practice will be too easy for me. I haven't battled in real life; just with dummy targets. After all, my father gave me a copy of his weapon; the bident. The two pronged spear.
"Since there are no ladies first today, maybe I should go first since I'm the oldest of my cousins" I said, holding out my bident.
Knuckles drew out a mace to face me, "ATTACK!" He shouted.
I reared my bident back and locked it with Knuckles mace and he breaks free and we clashed our weapons three times until I managed to disarm him by twisting the mace off his grip.
"I got a sword you know!" Knuckles deflected next move I did with the bident.
"I got my bident!" I clashed my weapon against his sword.
He proved to be tough but I shall hold my ground against him. I spin my bident like a bo staff and then I struck it down near his feet.
"Whoa! Are you crazy?!" Knuckles yelled.
"You wanted a warrior fighter you got it!" I smirked.
"Bring it on!" He stands his ground and held the sword forward.
"Prepare to meet my father's dead world!" I taunted him.
"Meet this!" Knuckles spins his sword and clashed with my bident.
"Don't get arrogant in a fight, Shadow!" Knuckles strained.
"I'm not planning to!" I broke free and then knocks the sword off his hands and pointed the bident at him, "How was that?"
"Brilliant for the son of the underworld" Knuckles said.
"Your turn" I said to Silver.
(Silver's POV)
"Okay. After all I'm the prince of the seas" I twirled my trident.
"Show me what you got mein freund" Knuckles picked up his weapon.
"I'm not your boyfriend, mate!" I glared and tried to strike him with my trident.
"I said 'friend' in German dummy" Knuckles said and blocked my trident.
"Grr! Next time speak English, mate!" I clashed my trident against his weapon.
"Very well. Think fast!" Knuckles drew his sword back.
But I managed to deflect his sword and spun around to then spray water at him with the trident.
"HEY! No streams!" Knuckles growled and shook himself dry.
He charges at me and jumped over when I threw my trident. I managed to move aside when he launched his fist down and he turned to face me.
My trident automatically moves towards me like a magnet, "Afraid of drowning, mate?"
"Not even close! Give me your best shot!" Knuckles urged.
"Oh, you asked for it!" I summoned a stream of water.
Then I fired it right at Knuckles knocking him off balance.
"Whoa, okay that was impressive" Knuckles shook the water off.
"Like I said, I'm the prince of the seas" I said, banging my trident on the ground.
"Next!" Knuckles snaps his fingers.
(Sonic's POV)
"Me the prince of the skies" I said, banging my bolt staff.
"Alright let's see what you got after all that training!" Knuckles held his sword and shield.
"Afraid of lightning striking your ass, general?" I chuckled
"Hell no, I'll show you war style!" Knuckles charged at me.
"SWORD!" I made my staff into a sword to defend myself.
Knuckles tried to strike but we clashed our weapons, "Getting cocky again?" He strained.
"Oh you can say that!" I pushed him back but he stops.
"Come on give me your best shot!" Knuckles steadies himself.
"You and your big mouth" I smirked as I summoned thunderstorms.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Knuckles yelled.
"Giving you your best shot" I smirked as I tried to strike lightning on him.
He however managed to deflect some of my lightning with his sword, "Hah! Zeus' bolts are more powerful" He scoffs.
He jumps backwards and I created a bolt from my hand and threw it at him but he shields himself from the impact. I made two more and threw them again, this time to knock him off balance and break his shield. He looked stunned at his shield destroyed.
"That was the fifth shield this week!" He throws it aside.
"Shocking isn't it?" I laughed.
"Hilarious but next time use it on that gorgon bastard!" Knuckles yelled.
"Alright!" I said as I spin into a ball and lightning appeared on me.
Then in a snap I dashed onto Knuckles making him crash into a tree. Luckily his armor protects him.
"Fuck! Right in the gut!" He groaned.
"Guess you're not so hardcore as you think" I chuckled.
"Owww. You really are prince of thunder" Knuckles groans getting up.
"Thank you, general" I said.
"Anyone else wanna try?" Knuckles asked.
"Nah, we all know our fighting instincts, mate" Silver said
