Chapter Three: The Blacksmith & The Captain
Sonic has been walking for another ten minutes towards the village, as he claimed that there was a blacksmith in the village. Why Sonic was heading towards the village to find this blacksmith is anybody's guess. Sonic finally made it to the entrance of the village.
"OK, here's the entrance. It looks exactly like how I imagined. This is absolutely insane, like, how did this happen? How is this even possible?" Sonic wondered.
After that, he shook off, and made his way into the village, and started exploring. He looked high and low for a place that resembled a blacksmith's forge. After twenty minutes of looking, he continued looking, after many times of trying to ask people where the forge was, he finally turned a corner, and saw a forge. He read the sign which reads 'Forge of the warriors', and smiled.
"There it is! Let's hope he's in here." Sonic hoped.
After that, he ran towards the forge. After he made it to the front door, he took a deep breath, and then he knocked on the door.
"Hello?" Sonic called.
"Who is it?" a voice asked.
"Just a sightseer. I just have questions for you." Sonic explained.
"Come on in." the voice stated.
After that, he unlocked the door, and opened it. Sonic made his way indoors, and was now face to face with an orange fox with blue eyes, he was wearing a white shirt with a brown apron.
"Thank you." Sonic thanked.
"You're welcome. What is your name?" the fox wondered.
"Sonic." he replied.
"OK, Sonic, what can I help you with?" he asked.
"Well first of, is your name Tails?" Sonic asked.
"Why, yes it is. How did you know that?" Tails wondered.
"Well, this might sound crazy, but this world that we're in, I created this world, and I created you." Sonic mentioned.
"Seriously? You have a screw loose, or something? If you are who you say you are, I am sure you'd know EVERYTHING about me." he started.
"I do." Sonic stated confidentially.
"OK, what's my real name?" Tails asked.
"Miles Prower." Sonic answered.
"What's my wife's name?" Tails asked again.
"Cream." Sonic replied.
"How long have I been a blacksmith?" Tails asked again, getting slightly convinced.
"You've been a blacksmith for ten years." Sonic answered again.
"Who's my best friend, and what's his wife's name?" Tails asked.
"His name is Knuckles, and his wife is Tikal. He is a red echidna, purple eyes, captain of the guards, he serves Princess Amelia, his wife is an orange echidna, the princess is a pink hedgehog, with jade green eyes." Sonic replied with full details.
Tails then looked at him with concern, nobody else but him and Knuckles would know this. But he sighed, and relaxed himself.
"OK, you have me convinced. Nobody else would have known this, besides me and Knuckles." Tails stated.
Suddenly, the door opened, and in came Knuckles. As Sonic described, he was a red echidna, with purple eyes, He was wearing a full metal armour, and when he walked into the forge, he immediately looked at Sonic.
"Who are you?" Knuckles asked.
"My name is Sonic." he replied.
"Well, see you're already introduced to Tails, my name is..." he was cut off.
"Knuckles, I know. I already know you." Sonic replied.
"But, how did you know?" Knuckles wondered.
"It's a long story, Knuckles. He's done this with me also. As crazy as this sounds, it is true, he knows all about us, this world, and possibly the princess. He says he created this world, because how else would he know so much about us?" Tails explained.
"Alright, you created this world, how on Earth did you get into this world?" Knuckles wondered.
"Well, it's hard to explain. But I finished creating this world, I'm a craftsman, and I sculpted your models, and even the princess. She was who I made last. Then as I tucked my niece to bed, I was going to go to bed, then I heard voices, found this book, and it teleported me here. So what I am needing your help for, is that I need help to defeat the Black Doom, so I can get home." Sonic explained in detail.
"You need help to beat Black Doom?" Knuckles asked.
"You're crazy, right? He's dangerous!" Tails exclaimed in fear.
"I know this sounds crazy, but when I made this game, the way you win it is to defeat Black Doom. So if we can defeat him, it may be the key I need to get home. Please, I am begging you. If I don't get home, my niece is going to be all alone, and not know what to do. She's very young, she's only five, and she needs me while her parents are away. Please!" Sonic begged.
Tails and Knuckles looked at one another.
"Knuckles, she is a young girl, after all. And if what he says is true, and this is what it takes to help him get home, then this is what we should do." Tails told him.
Knuckles thought long and hard about this. He knew this was a crazy idea, and a suicide mission. But he saw the sadness in Sonic's eyes, and he could not stand to see his suffering.
"Well, we are not going to do this mission. Not with you dressed like that anyway, Sonic. Tails, make Sonic a full set of armour, and some weapons. If we are set to fight this Black Doom, we need to be armed at all cost." Knuckles told them.
"Already on it. Sonic, I need to take a few measurements from you, to fit an armour on you." Tails told him.
"Thank you so much!" Sonic smiled.
"Oh, and by the way, Sonic. You say that you created us from your world, and usually creators have inspirations on how to create things. Where did your inspirations come from to create us?" Knuckles wondered.
"You and Tails are actually based on my friends from the real world. Tails is based on my friend Tails, and you were based on my friend Knuckles." Sonic explained.
"Well, I'll be. Using friends to your advantage for inspiration. Very dedicated of you." Tails smiled.
"They are great people in my world, just like you two are now." Sonic mentioned.
"Well, glad to be of help. Now we need to get the armour for you done as soon as possible, if we're going on this adventure." Knuckles mentioned.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Tails began taking measurements of Sonic to get a rough idea how to make an armour to fit him. After that, Sonic was taught how to fight by Knuckles. This will be a challenging, yet exciting adventure for the three.
