Hello my readers, here is another chapter.
Note to Readers: I will be adding songs into this series, but only in certain chapters.
Hope you enjoy, I've been planning this setup for some time.
Chapter 11: X-blades Part 1
Crimson and Sonic have regain most of their memories from Crystal Prep, but in doing so they've uncovered the hidden truths about their lives. They came from another world and their real parents might still be alive, this added with the fact that their principles and their friends have lied to them made the boys angry, upset, and furious. Cadence and Shining Armor didn't know either and were concerned for them because this was the very first time they've seen Crimson and Sonic like this, however they also believe that when they return to Canterlot High it's going to get ugly.
Canterlot High: Front Enterance
Upon coming back to Canterlot High the boys walked out of the bus while carrying their bookbags and calmly looked at the Wondercolt Statue before walking off. Cadence and Shining Armor followed them until they all met up with Celestia, Luna, and the Mane Seven at the front doors.
"Boys, hey we're glad your back. Boys? What's wrong?" Celestia said and asked as Crimson and Sonic were looking down with their hair covering their eyes.
"We...have a problem." Cadence said to her while crossing her arms.
"What happened at Crystal Prep? Did you both get your memories back back?" Luna asked as she and the others were getting concerned.
The boys didn't speak, but instead they slowly nodded their heads. Believing that that they had a bad experience years ago Rarity went up to them and placed her hands on their shoulders before speaking,"Oh darlings. What matters now is that your both home." She said with a small smile.
"Rarity is right. Crystal Prep may have been your old school, but it's better if you both stay here-" Applejack said before Crimson cut her off.
"In this prison?" He said with slight anger.
"What?" Was all Rarity said before removing her hands. The others responded with the same shocked reaction.
"That's your excuse...for keeping us imprisoned here isn't it?" Crimson said as he and Sonic glared at everyone.
Surprised by this, Celestia asked the boys what they heard from Crystal Prep and why were they acting like this. "Me and Crimson were never born from this world, we came from another world and you two came from it as well." Sonic said as he pointed at Celestia and Luna.
"What are you talking about?" Luna asked in confusion.
"Don't play dumb with us, Sombra said that you two were friends with our real mother. He said that you were also friends with our real father too. Why didn't you tell us about this and why keep it from us?" Sonic said to both Celestia and Luna while sounding upset.
Shocked after hear that Celestia grew wide eyed before she spoke,"You two are the lost children of Leo and Hikari?" The boys nodded to what she said before she continued,"We should've know Sombra would've told you the truth, he always enjoyed causing others to facing devastating facts. Boys I know you're upset and are wanting an explanation for this, but I'm afraid you can't." She said with small firmness in her voice.
"Why? We have the right to know the truth about ourselves, you owe it to us." Crimson said to her with a loud voice.
"Crimson, watch your tone. You both can't learn the truth and it's not your right." Luna said to them with a serious tone.
After hearing that Crimson and Sonic made their hands into fists before Sonic spoke to them again,"So were we nothing more than puppets to you? You give us orders and we simply accept them?" Sonic said with anger in his voice.
Everyone was surprised to hear that, however Celestia quickly reacted to his questions,"Of course not. We all care about you two, but we don't want to break our promise to your parents. Finding out the truth doesn't always work out, ok?" She said with honesty.
The boys didn't speak at all after that, they turned around and began walking away. The Mane Seven wanted to go after them but Luna stopped them and told them that it would be best if they allowed the boys to cool down and hopefully by tomorrow they'll come to their senses.
Sunset and Twilight had never seen Crimson and Sonic like that before, the rest of the Mane Seven hadn't either and both Celestia and Luna think that Sombra has told them lies about what really happened during the Heartless War.
Crimson's and Sonic's House
Upon returning home Crimson and Sonic knew that they had to get some answers about their early lives, the one person they could ask next is their foster mother and they always knew she would never keep secrets or lie to them about anything.
Going inside and placing their bookbags down, the boys called out their mother and she said she was in the kitchen washing dishes. Walking through the kitchen door and seeing Lucky finishing up the dishes, the boys struggled a little to talk to her before Sonic managed to do it,"Mom, can we talk to you about something?" He said to her.
Noticing something wrong Lucky nodded before the three of them went into the living room to begin their conversation. Crimson went first,"Mom, today while we went back to Crystal Prep for a visit, we learned that we came from another world." He said nervously.
"What?" Lucky said in small confusion and concern.
"Me and Crimson know that we really aren't your birth sons. How did you find us and why did you keep us?" Sonic said while looking at Lucky straight in the eyes.
"*Sigh* I guess since you both are old enough to handle tough truths, I suppose I can tell you where I found you." Lucky said before she began speaking again.
"Years ago it was raining in the city, I was still young back then and I always wanted a special dream to come true. I wanted children of my own, I wanted to be a mother because I really love children and wanted to be there for them when they needed me most, but I was afraid that wish would never come true. Then while walking through the streets I heard baby cries, I got curious and went to see where they came from. To my surprise, two baby boys inside a cardboard box, crying because they were scared and lonely. I couldn't leave you both there, so I decided to take you in as my own and bring you into my house. While carrying you in my arms you both looked at me and calmly nudged against me while giggling, it was too precious and I knew from that day you both became my sons. I also didn't have to name you because you both had them on you when I found you, Crimson Nova, Sonic Blitz, those names were already fitting for you both and I decided that you both should keep them." She said with deep honesty before walking over to hug her sons tightly.
"I am very happy to be your mother, you may not be my sons but I will always love you both no matter what happens." She said to them before breaking their family hug. Crimson and Sonic loved her too and will always do, but they still have Sombra offer on their thoughts and are very curious to know where their real parents are.
The boys quietly went up to their rooms shortly afterwards, they weren't for dinner either and Lucky understood. She also became very worried about them because of how they wanted to know the truth and how they might do anything to know what they wanted to know.
In their rooms Crimson and Sonic had mixed emotions about today and had decided to write it down into their journal.
Journal Entry: Day 23
We finally found some answers to who we are and where we're really from, but some remain vague. Our principles won't tell us the truth and said that it was because of a promise they made to our real parents long ago.
Our friends have also broken our promise to teach us magic, they said they would but couldn't because they didn't know how and because they think it would be too complicated for us to understand or control.
Our foster mother truly loves us and had always wanted kids for herself, we still love her as well and nothing will change that. However we need to know the full truth and it looks like Sombra is the only person left we can trust, we need to know and the only way for us to know is by acquiring our darkness back.
If that's what it takes, then we accept.
After they were finished writing Crimson and Sonic went to sleep and they knew what they needed to do.
Crimson's and Sonic's house: Morning
The next morning the boys were still mad about what happened yesterday and they had no idea on how to express their emotions, so they thought of something that was completely wreckless and would help them in their own way.
Walking outside Crimson and Sonic noticed their mother driving away to get to work while they were walking to school, however after she was out of sight Crimson and Sonic looked at each other to discuss what they were going to do next.
"Are you sure we should do this Sonic? Because I'll back out if you do." Crimson said to his brother.
"No I'm in, we both want to do this and there really isn't another way to get rid of this anger inside of us." Sonic replied while placing his hand on his chest.
Crimson nodded before they both walked the opposite way from Canterlot and went straight towards the park.
Canterlot High: Miss Cheerilee's Classroom
At Canterlot High right now it's first period and Miss Cheerliee was checking her list of students that were present.
"Lyra Heartstrings", she said and Lyra raised her hand indicating that she was there.
"Flash Sentry", she said getting a response from him indicating that he was there.
"Crimson Nova", she said and no response was made.
"Crimson Nova? Sonic Blitz?" She called out and neither of them was there.
Everyone else was very surprised by this, Miss Cheerliee then called up Celestia and asked her if the boys were sick. Celestia was confused by this and told her no because if they were their mother would notify her. Miss Cheerilee then told her that the boys weren't in her class and Celestia was completely shocked by this.
Canterlot High: Celestia's office
After hanging up Miss Cheerilee Celestia called Lucky and asked her if she knew where the boys were. Hearing that they were at school, Lucky told Celestia that she didn't were they were and hoped that they'll show up eventually.
Not taking the chance Celestia somehow knew the boys ditched and called on the Mane Seven to come and see her and Luna. When the Mane Seven did and were informed on what Crimson and Sonic were doing they were all completely shocked.
"We understand that the boys might have done this because of what happened yesterday, but that does not excuse them for ditching school. Please bring them back so me and Celestia can speak with them and hopefully we can settle this matter." Luna said to the Mane Seven while placing her hand on her forehead because she really couldn't believe the boys would do this.
Not wanting to argue with them the Mane Seven went out of her office and ran outside to begin searching for the boys.
Forest Park
Sunset, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity searched everywhere that the boys could be at throughout the city, however after an hour of searching they found the boys at the park and were shocked by what they were doing to each other.
Crimson and Sonic had their Keyblade Armor on and were attacking each other with their Keyblades. They were also fighting each other very roughly and didn't care about the pain they were exchanging. Their fighting came to a stop when the Mane Seven shouted their names.
"Crimson! Sonic!" The Mane Seven shouted.
The boys looked at them and were a little surprised to see them before reverting themselves back to normal. They both had bruises and looked pretty banged up, each of the Mane Seven were shocked by this before Applejack went up to them with a firm look.
"What in tarnation are you two doing?" She with while glaring at them.
"We're expressing our anger out, what else does it look like?" Crimson explained as both him and Sonic glared at her.
"Boys, you shouldn't beat yourselves up like that. There are other ways to express your anger, like painting or writing out how you feel." Pinkie Pie said to them while randomly pulling out paint and a notebook with a pen in the spiral.
Both Crimson and Sonic didn't like that suggestion and Sonic made a good reply against it,"Pinkie, that is the dumbest thing we have ever you said and that is so not how you vent out your feelings," he said adding firmness to his voice.
Pinkie gasped after hearing that before Rarity stepped in,"Sonic, that's not a nice thing to say. Apologize to her right now." She said giving me a glare.
"It wasn't suppose to be nice, it was the truth." Crimson said as he and Sonic crossed their arms.
"Boys what's gotten into you two? Ditching school like that and coming here to beat yourselves up?" Applejack said to them while stepping up a little closer to their faces.
"Why are you girls here anyway?" Crimson asked them.
"Because we're your friends and we're here to bring you back so Celestia and Luna can help you both settle this issue your having." Fluttershy said to them in a calm voice.
"Friends? Friends are suppose to be honest with each other and they don't break promises either." Crimson said to her with slight anger in his voice.
Wondering what they were talking about, Twilight suddenly remembered the promise her and the others made to them a month ago. "Wait...are you both still mad at us for not teaching you magic?" She said knowing that it was the reason.
The boys nodded before Rainbow Dash stepped in,"It was just a dumb promise and we told you that it could be complicated." she said making the situation worse.
Hearing this from her the boys quickly responded,"Shut up!" They both said very loudly to Rainbow Dash and earning gasps from the others.
"A dumb promise? We took that promise to heart and you all broke it." Crimson said to all of them.
"Crimson, please calm down. If you both come back with us voluntarily we'll be there with you when you face Celestia, hopefully she'll let this drop, please listen to us and we can try to fix this." Sunset said to him calmly.
Both him and Sonic didn't believe her as they began walking away, but then Sunset and Twilight grabbed their right arms and begged to them that they can fix this. The boys told them to let go and they refused, so they had no choice but to pull out their Keyblades and point them straight at the girls.
Sunset and Twilight immediately after they did this and were stunned by what the boys were doing. The others were too before Rarity took a step forward before speaking,"Boys, don't do something you'll regret." She said as she was a little frightened by Crimson's and Sonic's actions.
They lowered their Keyblades before dismissing them, then they continued glaring at them before Sonic spoke,"We're not going back, we are never going back. This isn't a game or something that can be cleared up with a simple apology, you all treat us like puppets and all we ever wanted was to know things you know. But that can never happen because you all can't trust us and we can't trust you."
Crimson completely agreed with him as they both turned around and began walking away, but then Rainbow Dash said,"You can't abandon Canterlot High! You'll both get in serious trouble."
"That doesn't to us anymore, and besides, no one will miss us at all." Crimson said to her while he and Sonic continued walking.
"What about your mother, she'll be furious if she finds out you two ditched school." Twilight said with deep worry.
The boys stopped for a second before turning around, "She's not our birth mother. We still love her, but she isn't our real mother and we will find our real parents no matter what the cost." Sonic said to everyone before him and Crimson walked away.
Rainbow Dash wanted to run after them and punch them, but she was stopped by Applejack and was told that it wasn't worth it.
Sunset and Twilight shed single tears before taking out the charms the boys made for them, the others did the same and thought that the boys did have a good point about something. This was their fault and it can't be fixed easily.
The Mane Seven then began leaving the park to go back to school to tell Celestia and Luna about what had happened, along the way Sunset and Twilight began singing a song.
Sunset: We have to find a way, to make this all okay. We can't believe this small mistake, could've cause so much heartache.
Oh why. oh why.
Twilight: Something is wrong, it's plain to see. This isn't how it's meant to be. And you can see it like I do, it's not the life that's meant for you.
Oh Why. Oh Why.
Sunset and Twilight: Losing promise, we don't know what to do. Seeking answers, we fear we won't get through to you. Oh why. Oh Why.
"Girls, what have we done?" Sunset asked everyone as they all feel bad for what they did to Crimson and Sonic.
They all then began running back to Canterlot High, meanwhile Crimson and Sonic are going to Crystal Prep. There they'll finally get the answers they're looking for.
End of Chapter 11.
