(Sonic's POV)
Okay, so far I'm getting the hang of swimming but I'm still a little nervous about swimming underwater. I wish I was really brave and strong like my half-brother Hercules that fought those two giant animals. The boar and the lion with his bare string hands. What if I really do have god-like strength like him?
Right now I'm being trained by Nebula, the daughter of Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunt.
"Your father also told me that your bolt staff can turn into any kind of weapon. Like a bow, a staff, a sword, and shield. But only you have to say the words. For example, say sword" Nebula said.
"Sword?" I said and my bolt staff unexpectedly turned into a...electric bolt sword.
"Now say some other weapons" Nebula said.
"Okay ummmm...Shield!" My sword became a shield with a thunder logo on.
"Whoa, this is new. My father really made this for me?" I asked.
"Yes. It's his gift to you remember" Nebula said.
"Wow, this is better than carrying all weapons. But I have a better weapon" I said.
"Show me" Nebula grins.
"I meant my bolt staff" I said shyly.
"Well just turn it back" Nebula said.
"Staff!" I shouted and it instantly morphed back to my staff.
"Try bow arrow" Nebula said.
"Bow arrow!" I said and my staff turned into a bow arrow but no arrows, "Uhhhh...where are the arrows?"
"Stretch the out like you're imagining you have arrows" Nebula said.
"Okay" I shrugged and made a pose like I'm an archer and out of nowhere, electric arrows appeared in the position of my bow.
I targeted a tree and fired at it, and as it hit it blew up.
"Damn!" I was stunned.
"Yup, just like that. For a demigod you really are like your father" Nebula said.
"Yeah I guess" I smiled.
"So you have all weapons that Ancient Greek had. Well, only this one is made by Zeus himself. By the way, since I'm the daughter of Artemis, I do know about mythical creatures like the Calydonian Boar, the Nemean Lion, centaurs, minotaurs, and so forth. But I do have a 5 ft. Nemean lion cub" Nebula said.
"You have? Can I see it?" I asked.
"Sure" Nebula said.
"By the way, how did Scourge became a hedgehog?" I asked as I followed her.
"By Circe's magic spell" Nebula said.
"Okay, but when I saw him his snakes were not seen" I said.
"He is good at concealing them" Nebula said.
"With a hoodie I suppose" I rolled my eyes.
"Yep and he can turn anyone to stone at will" Nebula said.
We came to an open field of mythical Greek creatures. I can see a 5 ft. Nemean lion cub playing with the tree.
"Wow, they grow that big?" I asked.
"Yep, this is one of few Nemean lions that exist today" Nebula said.
"Cool. And they have invulnerable hide" I said.
"Hercules skinned one with its own claws" Nebula said.
"Yes but during the fight he strangled it with his bare hands but it cost a finger" I said.
"Yup, you sure know a lot about Greek mythology. Even though it's not a myth to us" Nebula said.
The Nemean lion cub walked up to us and rubbed its head against us, "Hehehehe, is it a male or female?" I chuckled.
"Male. And there's his mom coming this way" Nebula said, pointing at a 15 ft. lioness coming this way.
"Wow" I was amazed at the sight.
"You might wanna back away. She can be very overprotective. Just like regular lions" Nebula said.
And very right, the lioness showed her teeth and growled at us.
"Okay, Okay! I'll back away from your cub! No need to get overprotective!" I back away from her cub.
"I told you so" Nebula said.
The lioness picked up her cub from her teeth and walks away.
"Geez, too much mother instincts" I said, not liking this lion mom, "Okay now what Nebula?" I asked her.
"Since it's noon I guess it's lunch time. They might have your favorite American food" Nebula said.
"Yum" I rubbed my hands together hungrily.

At the cafeteria place, they were again serving American food. I thought of having a cheeseburger, French fries, and a soda. I can see Shadow is having his own Mexican food and Silver having fish sticks. Maybe I should sit with them. After all they are my cousins. After picking my food I went up to accompany them.
"Hi there Sonic" Sticks greeted me.
"Oh, hi Sticks. Since when do you eat in the cafeteria?" I asked.
"Just now. I'll let you have fun with those two" Sticks said.
I shrugged and went to the table where my cousins are sitting at.
"Hola, cousin. All that training made you hungry, huh?" Shadow said.
"Oh yeah. Even saw two lions" I said.
"The two Nemean ones?" He asked.
"Yes that's the ones" I nodded.
"The adult males can be very aggressive and vicious. Just like your half-brother Hercules that battled a lion before" Shadow said.
"I know the story, Shads. Everyone knows the story" I said, eating my cheeseburger.
"Alright" Shadow resumes having his meal.
"So, what do you know about Scourge? How bad was he when you guys met him?" I asked.
"At first we thought he was lonely but when he had glares at me and Tails, we were afraid that he would turn us into statues" Silver said.
"And then what happened?" I wondered.
"Let's just say he has too much revenge in his mind than justice" Shadow said.
"Okay he didn't turn anyone to stone here but tried on Silver and Tails?" I asked.
"He did turn 5 demigods into stone. And we had to banish him" Silver said.
"That's good. And they got honored funerals?" I asked.
"Yes, and their parents grieved them" Silver said.
"How bad was it?" I asked.
"Bad. It's like last year's school shooting in Florida. But only worse" Shadow sighs.
"Oh yes" I shuddered at the thought.
"I never kill monsters but I don't know if I should kill Scourge to save all demigods" I said.
"We'll figure something" Shadow said.
"We'll see" I resumed eating.
"So, you never tried any other country food before?" Silver asked, having shrimp.
"Well I do like sushi" I said.
"And?" Shadow asked.
"I also like Spanish food" I continued.
"By the way, I hope you're not stunned from getting kissed by Amy the other day" Silver chuckled.
I accidentally spit my soda before I coughed, "My god! Did you have to bring that up?"
"Yup. I think you enjoyed her kissing you" Silver snickered.
"She kissed me because I freaked out. But then I felt calm, relaxed, and mostly confused. I didn't know she was the daughter of Aphrodite when we first met" I blushed.
"You seem to like her" Shadow smirked.
"Don't even think about it. I am not that attractive. Mortal girls at my school call me a freak because I was different" I crossed my arms.
"Right right. Sorry" Silver apologized.
"Amy seems a little attracted to you. You both have green eyes" Shadow said.
"Yeah yeah. But she is just helpful" I replied.
"You both are Americans" Silver said.
"I'm American. She's Japanese" I corrected them.
"No, she was born in California but she moved to Japan with her father when she was a baby" Silver said.
"Okay but that makes her japanese citizen still" I said.
"Come on, Sonic. Do you ever wanted to be loved by someone who understands you? Your mortal mom lives you too but you could have a female friend" Silver said.
"And besides, every hero always has a woman guiding him" Shadow said.
"I'm no hero, guys. I'm just a skinny, clumsy, teenage demigod" I said, finishing my lunch.
"But being a hero does not come from the body but from the heart" Shadow said.
"You really want me to get to know Amy?" I sighed.
"Yes" Shadow and Silver said in unison.
"There's no other way for me to get away from talking about this?" I said in frustration.
"No" they both said at the same time.
"Fine, I'll get to know about her. And again, I don't have a crush on her" I said to them.
"Can't escape from falling in love. I bet we are right that you will sooner or later" Silver smirked.
"Shut up. I am not that attractive to her" I growled in annoyance.
"Whatever you say, son of shyness" Shadow chuckled.
"Grrr! I am so gonna kill you for this" I growled angrily but managed to control my anger triggering thunderstorms.
Okay, Sonic. Get it together. You are just gonna like Amy as a friend, not a lover. I am not a crazed sexual predator. I really don't want that in my conscience.
(Amy's POV)
I still can't get this memory out of my head. The day that I kissed Sonic was just breath taking. I only kissed to save himself from panicking, that's all. But still he is pretty cute, wait what am I saying again?!
I regret kissing him. Man, his lips were just so...perfect to my lips. Stupid hormones! Being a teenager really has problems when it comes to puberty.
"Don't feel embarrassed, sweetheart" My mom speaking in my thoughts.
"I can't help it, mom. He's just so...mysterious and charming. I can sense the beauty in him. Unlike any Japanese mobian boys that don't know anything about love" I said.
"You have to wait to confess" Mom said.
"It's too soon to fall in love, mom. I know he's handsome and gorgeous like the sky but I don't think he has romantic feelings for me" I said.
"I was born from the foam of the sea. But I already know about true love" Mom said.
"You told me this story, mom" I smiled.
"Just go hang out like friends" Mom suggested.
"Okay. If Sonic will trust me" I said.
I heard Sonic coming inside my cabin, "Kon'nichiwa, Ames"
"Kon'nichiwa Sonikku" I greeted him.
"How are you" He asked me. Oh, his voice is so mysterious and charming. Stay focused, Amy.
"Just fine I guess. What about you?" I asked back.
"Doing fine. By the way. Have you ever seen a Chiron descendant? Her name is Tikal" I asked. Stupid me. I don't know why I just said that.
"No I haven't. Wait Chiron? The centaur?" Sonic asked in confusion.
"Yup. Tikal's ancestor Chiron" I said.
"Where is she?" Sonic asked me.
"She's at the east side of the island" I pointed east.
"Alright thanks Ames" Sonic said and was about to leave.
"Wait can I come along?" I asked.
"Sure thing" Sonic said.

We went to find the herd of centaurs in the open field. It's amazing how they run like real wild horses.
"Okay which one is Tikal?" Sonic asked.
"Hehehe, she's not literally a centaur" I laughed.
"But you said her ancestor Chiron is a centaur. Wouldn't that make her a centaur too?" Sonic asked.
"Well she has a horse tail" I said.
"And?" Sonic asked for more.
"Has her hooves hidden with shoes" I said.
"Anything else?" Sonic asked.
"Do I have to explain every detail?" I sighed.
"Mostly yes" Sonic said.
"Let's just go" I replied.
We went to find Tikal among the centaurs.
"Whoa, those are real centaurs?" Sonic was surprised to see them up close.
"Of course" Said a voice behind us.
We turned around and there was Tikal the centaur echidna. She had for a lower body a horse body while her upper body was a mobian echidna.
"Yes I am. And you must be the new one Sonic" Tikal said.
"Son of Zeus" Sonic said.
"Pleasure to meet you" Tikal said.
"So, these are what real centaurs look like in real life? Not like in those movies or stories" Sonic said.
"Well yes and no. Yes we do have the body of a horse. But I wear a dress over it" Tikal said.
"I see. Does it offend you if someone says you have a horse's ass?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. But I get to disguise as a normal mobian" Tikal said.
"How exactly?" Sonic asked.
"With these" Tikal held out two rings and she is morphed into a normal echidna.
"Whoa, no one can see your half horse body" Sonic gasped.
"Exactly. Now what brings you here?" Tikal asked.
"Oh, Amy brought me here to see you and the centaurs" Sonic said.
"Okay. I thought it was something else" Tikal said.
"Mostly because I like to get to know Greek mythology animals" Sonic said.
"Okay. What have you seen so far?" She asked.
"I've seen the Nemean lion" Sonic said.
"And I've been seeing the remains of the chimera" I said.
"Very interesting you guys. We'll, I gotta get back to my herd. Lots of running like a horse" Tikal said.
"Okay. Now what do you wanna see now?" I asked Sonic.
"Eh, probably get along with my animal sidekick Sky" Sonic said.
"Your animal sidekick?" I raised a brow.
"My father is the king of the gods. Which makes me a demigod prince. So, every princess always has an animal sidekick. Why not this prince like me?" Sonic smirked.
"Alright. Shall we go for another ride?" I wondered.
"Sure, why not?" He agreed.
"Whatever you say, Prince Charming" I said.

Eventually we arrived at Sky's location. I can see that Sky is getting a little attached to Sonic since he's happy to see him again.
"Here you go boy" Sonic feeds him with some sugar cubes.
"He's starting to like you a lot. He's been waiting for the right warrior to be his rider" I said.
"I guess. Now let's get going" Sonic jumps up on Sky.
"I'll watch you two from below. I wanna see how well you can trust him alone in the sky" I said.
"Very well. I always wanna see how fast he can fly like a bird. Like I'm fast at running while he's fast at flying" Sonic said.
Sky took flight with Sonic on his back and they flew high up in the sky.
(Sonic's POV)
Riding with my animal sidekick was really fun. Like my patronus I'm flying like an eagle.
"Okay Sky, dive down!" I commanded Sky to do. He neighs and dives down with the wings close to his body.
"All right, fly straight but gently" I gave him a command. He did so and flew straight ahead.
"Good boy" I said as I observe his flying skills.
He then flew up into the clouds and spun around while I held on tight.
Just then, a strange bird came out of nowhere, "Whoa!" I made Sky move out of the way with me, "What the hell?!"
I saw it looked like a bird but with a half body of a human. Is that a harpy?
"YOU! Son of Zeus must die!" The harpy woman screeched.
And for that, I was angry, scared, and confused at the same time. I don't know what that bird's problem is but nobody tells me to die.
"Sky! We need to distract her!" I told Sky and he nods and dives down in the clouds to get us away from the harpy.
"You think hiding in the clouds will help you, demigod?!" The harpy screeched and went after me.
"Oh boy!" I have to not look back. Sky flies until he came to sea surface. The harpy still was after us, how are we gonna ditch her?!
"Fuck" I got frustrated without a plan to get that creature away from us. The only thing I know is most harpies' weakness is their fragile bones. I hope I'm right.
Now how to do it? Oh yes! I had Sky to turn around ready for an attack. The harpy was closing in.
"Hey Birdnose! Chew on this!" I made Sky kick the harpy.
"AAAAGH!" The harpy was hit and fell into the ocean.
It may not be dead but a bird's feathers make them heavy and unable to fly.
I have to get back and warn the others. Something tells me this is part of Scourge's plan. Or something else.
Sky glides down to land and as we landed I got off of him.
"Sonic, how did it go?" Amy ran up to me.
"It went good. But...we were almost attacked by a harpy" I said.
"A harpy?! This is not good Sonic" Amy hugged me tight.
"Ugh! Ames, I can't breathe!" I gasped. I never expected her to be so strong.
"Oops, sorry Sonic. I'm so worried about you" Amy said.
"I'm alive, am I?" I said.
"Yes, but this is serious. I believe Scourge is coming for you too" Amy said.
"That's what I was afraid of. If he kills me then there are no other children of Zeus to fight him. I'm the last mobian son of Zeus" I said.
Just then she kissed me...again. And I felt calm and relaxed without feeling any negative thoughts.
"Feeling better?" Amy asked while blushing.
"Uhhhhh yeah I am" I blushed too.
"And again, I did not need to be kissed" I added.
"And again, I'm saving your emotions from stress" Amy smirked.
"I get it" I scoffed in annoyance.
"The next time I sense any strong negative emotions from you, I will kiss you again. It's not a love kiss, it's a save your ass kiss" Amy rolled her eyes.
"Okay okay" I said as we both went to tell the others.
