Me: Alrighty, folks! We have something very special in this chapter; The intro of another canon character. I already told about that in chapter 9. HURRAY; HURRAY!

Amy: Who is it? Is it somebody I know?

Me: Not telling!

Rouge: Is it somebody for me to flirt with?

Me: Not telling!

Shadow: Is it me?

Me: Not telling

Blaze: Is it me?

Me: Not telling!

Sliver: And what about me?

The king and the mage

Me: Still not telling! Just go on with the story and you'll see ^^

The castle was perfectly round, just like the circle of water around it. Four bigger towers merged out of the building on the northern, eastern, southern and western side of it. One smaller tower each emerged from between two of the bigger towers and from the middle of the building was the tall tower they already saw from the mountain. The whole building was decorated with the most wonderful towers and patterns on the walls.

When the boat docked on, there was already an orange mouse waiting for them.

"Follow me please", the mouse said and turned around, walking into the castle.

Violett was the first to jump out of their boat and followed the mouse, the others stayed a bit in the background. The mouse led them through a narrow that was overly decorated with all kinds of armors and had a lot of doors. The mouse stopped at one of those doors to the right and entered it. They walked into a living-room-sized room with a lot of red couches and chairs, a few armors and a lot of expensive looking pictures. The walls were white and the floor wooden.

But the mouse walked straight to the other side of the room and stopped next to the door.

"Please, be careful of what you do. The King is dangerous when in such a mood. The only reason he allows you to see him is because it's his duty, but there is no telling of how he'll react to your visit."

"I thank you for your warning, but I assure you, there is no need to be concerned." Violett smiled. Then she turned to Sonic and his friends. "As for all of you, I have a favor to ask of you; No matter what happens in there, do NOT interfere. Hold yourselves back."

Then she opened the door and walked in, Sonic and the others right on her heels.

The room was shaped like a half ball and was rather large, yet, the only pieces of furniture in it were four doors, a golden throne and a few chandeliers, the biggest one hanging right above the throne. The walls were dark blue, but there were many different kinds of jewels stuck in it; diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and a whole lot more (Rouge's eyes went wide at the sight). The light from the chandeliers were reflected by the golden throne and the jewels in the walls and filled the room with many different colors of light.

There were only five people in the room; four mice who guarded the doors and a blue male cat who sat on the throne. He seemed to be in his late teens and looked like he was about to throw them all out if it weren't for some kind of heavenly chain that kept him from it. To make it short; he looked pissed at being disturbed. He was wearing red boots, a red cape, kept together by small golden plates at his neck, a red, with all kinds of patterns decorated shirt and a golden crown, fitting to the golden color of his eyes.

"Your majesty", Violett bowed.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The young king bellowed into the room.

Violett stood back up and looked directly into the cat's eyes. Her smile was gone and she looked more frightening than the King did. Even he looked scared for a split second before he regained his posture. For a few seconds, he and Violett held a staring contest until the King's patience came to an end.

Flashback

"Why don't you talk?"

The young cat was standing in the woods, looking directly into the eyes of the young mage. She didn't smile. She never did. But why won't she talk? He was used to not getting what he wanted, his father had made sure of that, so had learned to get it himself. And right now, he wanted the hedgehog in front of him to talk.

"Answer me!" The Prince bellowed.

But Violett just stood there, looking directly into his eyes with that creepy look of hers.

End Flashback

"Answer me!" The King bellowed.

But Violett just stood there, looking directly into his eyes with that creepy look of hers. Tails looked at his friend and wondered what might be wrong with her while Cream was close to tears, wondering where the lovely lady went. But nobody said a word, just like Violett had ordered.

Flashback

"I'm not in a good mood today, so you either obey me and answer or I'll attack!"

While he said that, he pulled his sword out of its scabbard and pointed it directly at Violett. But still, the girl just looked at him with an unchanged expression and it irritated the Prince to no end. Not that anybody would have been scared at that site; the prince was just too young to be taken seriously. When he had waited for almost a minute and the hedgehog in front of him still didn't show any signs of talking, the prince gritted his teeth.

"As you prince I obey you to answer!"

Violett's narrowed a bit as if wanting to say 'you are not my prince'. That was too much for the prince to take and he attacked.

End Flashback

"I'm not in a good mood today, so you either obey me and answer or I'll attack.

While he said that, the king stood up from his throne and pulled his sword out of its scabbard. The four mice did the same, but the king gestured them to put away their swords and they obeyed. When almost a minute had passed and Violett still didn't show any signs of talking, the king gritted his teeth.

"As your king I obey you to answer!"

Violett's eyes narrowed as if wanting to say 'you are not my king'. That was too much for the king to handle and he attacked. Sonic wanted to step in and protect his friend, but Tails held him back.

Flashback

The young cat ran towards the young hedgehog, who still hadn't stirred a muscle. Even when he jumped and raised his sword, Violett didn't move. There was no reason to worry, the cat had seen Violett fight. She was good enough to defend herself, but there was no way she could beat him. He would defeat her and get his answers. Only when the prince came down and his blade was close to parting the hedgehogs head did Violett finally move. With the back of her hand she pushed the blade to one side while her other hand grabbed her attacker's neck and used the speed of his fall to pull him to the other side. The prince fell on his stomach and the sword fell way out of his reach.

The little Prince moaned and looked up at the hedgehog in front of him. She still didn't say a word. She still didn't smile. But she held out a hand for him, which caused him to smile. He accepted it and stood up. The female just turned around and continued her way, leaving the prince back in awe.

End flashback

The cat ran towards the hedgehog, who still hadn't stirred a muscle. Even when he jumped and raised his sword, Violett still didn't move. Was there reason to worry? The king didn't know, he had never seen the hedgehog fight before, but he didn't intend to hurt her anyways. He just wanted to show her his superiority and get her to obey. Only when he came down and his blade was close to parting the hedgehogs head did Violett finally move. With the back of her hand, she pushed the blade to one side while her other hand grabbed her attackers neck and used the speed of his fall to pull him to the other side. The king fell on his stomach and the sword fell way out of his reach.

The guards moved instantly, but the defeated cat raised his hand to show them he was okay. After a bit of hesitation, the guards put their swords back into their scabbards and went back to guard the doors. The young king looked up at the hedgehog in front of him. She still didn't say a word. She still didn't smile. But she held out a hand for he which caused him to smile.

"I guess this is what they call déjà vu, huh?" the king asked.

Finally, Violett smiled again. The blue cat accepted her hand, but the moment he was standing, used it to pull the surprised female into a very, very, very tight hug.

"Ahhh … Violett, it's been so long since I last got to hug you. You're so nice and soft now."

Purring like a real house cat, the king rubbed his head into the hedgehog's middle sized breasts, making everybody but Cream and Charmy (they're too young to get it) blush. Violett herself was too busy freeing herself from the cat's deadly grasp to notice what he did.

"Claws …" she choked, "let go … I can't … breathe …"

"No way! I haven't seen you for years, I have to take in your scent again and I have to enjoy holding you in my arms!"

The whole Sonic team sweatdropped.

"Coming to think of it … Guards", the king turned to the guards at the doors. "Go get my sister. She'll love this surprise."

"But sir," one of the mice said, "your sister is …"

"If she wants to hurt you tell her that I told you to take it out on me. NOW GO GET HER!"

All the mice jumped in fright and hurried out of the room. But Claws already got distracted by something else.

"Uhm … Mr. King sir", Cream walked up to the cat. "Ms. Violett told us not to interfere, so I would like to ask you for permission to speak up."

The King blinked, but then grinned. "Sure thing, kid. What do you need?"

"Well … Ms. Violett is dying …"

"Huh?"

Claws was completely overrun by that. Violett? Dying? Why would she die? What happened to her? Not until Cream shyly pointed at the hedgehog in Claws arms did he realize that something wasn't quite right; Violett had stopped struggling. When he looked down at her he saw that she had passed out and had twirls instead of eyes, her head had taken on a darker shade of purple

"YIKES!" he cried out and quickly put Violett down on the ground.

The very moment he released her, she gasped for air and came back to herself. Breathing heavily, she heaved herself into a sitting position. When she opened her eyes, she saw the huge, teary eyes of the cat king right in front of her and sweatdropped.

"VIOLETT, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!" he cried and hugged her again, making everybody else in the room sweatdrop.

In a split second, Vector was behind the cat and grabbed his cape to heave him away from Violett.

"Dude, go on like that and the gurl's sure to suffocate." He said.

Claws laughed sheepishly, but promised to keep his hands of her for now. Vector put him back down on the ground and Violett sighed in relief.

"Your killer hugs are one thing I didn't miss." She said.

"The two of you behave awfully friendly with each other." Tails helped Violett up.

"Of course we do!" Claws grinned. "Violett and I have been a couple for years now. We're madly in love, isn't that right Violett?"

Named hedgehog gave the king a death glare. "Don't push it. You've already crossed the line." She snarled.

"Hehe … sorry," Claws smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"Is he the fiampfff …"

Tails was unable to finish his sentence. Amy had covered his mouth from behind and was now busy calming him down (the poor guy almost had a heart attack). Amy laughed nervously at everybody before she turned to Tails.

"You don't ask a question like that in public. If you really wanna know, I'll ask her later", she hissed into his ear. Then she let him go.

"Sorry", Tails whispered back.

"Rouge, stay away from the jewels", Knuckles suddenly said.

Everybody looked at the bat girl who stopped in her tracks. She had snuck away from the group to the walls and was just about to take one of the jewels. She shot Knuckles a death glare. Then, she crossed her arms.

"What, I'm not even allowed to look at them?" she pouted.

"No you're not."

"Why not?"

"Cause you steal every single jewel you look at!"

"That is SO not true!"

"Oh please, everybody here except for the kiddo king knows how true that is!"

"Hey, who're you calling 'kiddo king'?" Claws bust in to their 'conversation', but the bat and the echidna ignored him and went on bickering.

That went on for a whole wile. The Sonic Team knew better than to interfere and started doing other things to distract themselves. The cat bent down to Violett, telling her that she had weird friends and Violett just sighed and nodded her head. What stopped the argument (and the boredom) in the end was the appearance of a new voice.

"What's going on here?" it asked into the room.

The voice was strong, confident, full of authority and definitely belonged to a female. Knuckles and Rouge went quiet immediately and looked at the person the voice belonged to, as did the rest of the gang. A purple cat with yellow eyes was standing next to the throne. She was wearing a jacket in Violett's fur color, which is a darker shade of purple than the cat's, a golden necklace, a pair of white trouser and pink, heeled shoes with white straps much like Sonic's. But the most peculiar thing about the cat was a small, red ruby that was stuck in her forehead. A wide smile appeared around Violett's face when she spotted the cat, while the cat's eyes went wide.

"Sonic?" The cat exclaimed.

"Sonic?" Violett asked confused and looked the blue hedgehog in the crowd's midst.

Named blur seemed just as confused as Violett to hear his name from the cat's mouth.

"Blaze", Claws cut in, "we have visitors."

"I can see", Blaze answered and then chuckled. "I guess I shouldn't be so surprised to see you here. You're always out on some adventure, aren't you, Sonic? And you brought Cream, Cheese and Tails as well."

Sonic frowned. "That's true, but … how do you know us?"

"Yes, Blaze. How do you know them?"

That was when the hotheaded cat's attention drifted from Sonic to Violett. Her eyes narrowed for a bit, but then they went even wider as they had when she had first spotted Sonic.

"No way", she muttered. "Violett? Is that you?"

Me: And another chapter is finished! And since it's the debut of a canon and an OC (which belongs to Speedlion by the way; thanks a bunch for letting him use me, pal), we'll have these two as guests today. A big applause for the royal silblings; King Claws and princess Blaze!

Claws: Thank you, thank you, far too kind.

Blaze: I am honored to be here.

Me: So, how are you connected to each other?

*Claws and Blaze sweatdrop*

Blaze: We … are siblings …

Me: Oh … yeah … right … I forgot …

Claws: You just introduced us as silblings …

Me: I did?

Blaze and Claws: Yes, you did.

Me: Oh, I didn't notice. So, what kind of questions do you have?

Blaze: How come Violett knows me, but Sonic doesn't?

Me: The answer to that is in the next chapter, you'll have to wait until it's up

*Claws opens his mouth to say something*

Me: Ups, time's up. See ya soon! And don't forget to review, thankies.

Claws: HEY! I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING, TOO!
