A Hedgehog Of Chaldea
Okeanos (Part 3)
*With Sonic*
After flying back and helping everyone that was still on Francis Drake's ship, Sonic in his new form returns to the Island alongside Fou, transforming back into his Blue form and landing on the sand and begins walking towards the forest up ahead.
"I hope you enjoy that trip, Fou because I for sure did!" Sonic said
"Fou! Fou! (It was fun! Now I know how it feels when you run on your own!)" Fou replied
"You said it yourself Fur-Ball, now come on! Let's go explore this island and clear out the enemies before everyone else arrives!" Sonic said
"Fou! Fou! (Wait, before we do, I have to ask you something. Did you know what was happening back with Mash before we returned and helped them?)" Fou asks
"No... I wanted to return to them to show them the new form I'm able to do but I notice that they were being attacked by some other ship. So I decided to skip the show and tell and instead help them defeat the enemy." Sonic replied
"Fou! Fou! (You did kinda took it too far when you went through one of the Servants!)" Fou said
"I couldn't stop myself from moving directions... He was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time. I promise I don't mean harm to them and I apologize for that." Sonic replied
"Fou! (I see... I've noticed that you are doing this Singularity more on your own now. And that hasn't before... why is that?)" Fou asks
"I rather get this all done quickly... I'm tired of being surrounded by water and would just get this over with. Water is not my friend." Sonic replied
"Fou! (Can you not swim at all?)" Fou said
"...Please keep this a secret between me and you, but no... I cannot swim at all... I know I mentioned it before to the others but I don't fully explain it. Because... I'm a little embarrassed..." Sonic replied
"Fou..."
"It's worse than explaining to them the actual name I was given when I was a child... Sonic is just the second name I stuck with for years now and now it's my new name." Sonic replied
"Fou? (You have a second name?)" Fou asks
"Yes..."
"Fou! Fou! (Care to say that name! I promise I won't share it with anyone else!)" Fou asks
"..."
"Fou... (Come on... We're best friends and friends don't share out secrets with others...)" Fou said
"Hmmm... I can't say no to you Fur-Ball... fine... I'll say my name... My real name is... Oh man, this is extremely embarrassing... Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog..." Sonic replied
"Fou..."
"Yes... that is my name. However, Ogilvie is my middle name and not my first name. So I have no official first name." Sonic explained
"Fou! (Almost sounds familiar to the Director!)" Fou said
"Don't bring up ideas... Now then, let's defeat the enemies occupying this island. Hey, maybe we may even encounter a Servant first before the others."
Sonic and Fou headed their way into the forest and explored the island around while also defeating Wyverns that occupied the island on his own. The Wyverns had a hard time defeating this little Hedgehog and his pet companion.
*Later*
Eventually, Mash and the others all arrive on the Island as well with their ship getting stuck in the process.
"Just by these footsteps on the sand, it seems that Sonic has already arrived and is somewhere around this Island," Mash said
"Asterios! Where's Asterios?" Euryale asks
"Found him..." Siegfried said
"Oh wow, that was fast," Elizabeth said
"I'll help! Ugh, so heavy!"
"...Ugh..."
"Don't worry, he's alive," Mash said
"What kind of moron keeps swimming while carrying a galleon! You dummy!" Euryale said
"...This kind...of...moron," Asterios replied
"Well, that was kinda rude to say..." Lily commented
"It's not something to brag about! Did you forget your role of carrying me on your shoulders? Go on, clean your filthy body!" Euryale said
"Drake, how about the ship..."
"It's no good. Nothing can make it budge... Although I think we'll be able to fix the ship, thanks to Asterios bringing it to the coast. But we don't have enough materials. Looks like this island has a forest, so I guess we can make some lumber out of those trees."
"I would say to watch out for the monsters that will come and attack us... But I see that the blue animal took care of them." Euryale said
"What do you mean?" Mash asks
Mash looks and notices a group of werewolves piled up on top of another, defeated and unconscious.
"So it seems..." Mash said
"Just how overprepare this animal is?" Euryale asks
"He's been fighting ever since being a little kid. He's defeated many enemies that were bigger and stronger than him. So him fighting those werewolves is nothing to him and will easily take them off." Mash replied
"I see..."
"There wasn't much difference in the ships' performance. The issue was the thickness of their armour." Francis Drake said
"Yes. Our cannons had no effect. ...Doctor, please tell us about Blackbeard. I have some knowledge, but I'm sure that Chaldea has more accurate data." Mash asks
"Right, Blackbeard was a pirate born 100 years after Francis Drake. His real name was Edward Teach. He was one of the pirates who ruled over the Caribbean. His policy was simple. He would kill anyone who showed resistance but spared the rest. Based in Nassau, he rampaged through these waters on his beloved ship, from Virginia to Honduras." Romani replied
"His beloved ship... It had a name, right?" Mash said
"Yes. It was called "Queen Anne's Revenge." He had 300 men on board. He built up a large fleet centred around his flagship and reigned as one of the strongest and worst pirates. However, he ended up losing his head...Even a pirate as fearsome as him... Unbelievable..." Romani replied
"...Don't say any more. He's a Servant I'd rather not remember about it." Mash said
"I erased the image of that thing from my brain. What? Has something happened?" Euryale said
"Yeah, pirates are all trashy, but he is the trashiest of them all. The King of Trash. That's what he is. Sorry, everybody. I apologize on behalf of all pirates." Francis Drake said
"Doctor, are there any stories that could give us hints on his Noble Phantasm?"
"There are a few... Among them, I think his ship has the highest possibility of being a Noble Phantasm. I was monitoring the magical energy levels during the battle with that shooting star, and his ship gave off the strongest readings. Captain Drake's "Golden Hind" too. Maybe it's the Holy Grail, but it showed magical energy similar to a Noble Phantasm... Even then, that ship was superior..." Romani said
"Hmm... I don't quite understand, but are you saying that my ship is no match for his?" Francis Drake asks
"It seems that way..."
"Wait for a second... Nothing happened before you blasted the ropes and made your escape? Did you inflict any damage to their side..." Romani said
"Ah, at that time... that shooting star defeated Eric Bloodaxe," Mash replied
"Right! Yes, we confirmed that he vanished completely on our end as well... Ah, so that's it!" Romani said
"Huh?"
"Simply put, Blackbeard's Noble Phantasm–is that ship, "Queen Anne's Revenge." Maybe it's a Noble Phantasm that powers up as "his subordinates get stronger and stronger. The moment that shooting star defeated Eric, the magical energy surrounding the ship weakened. After that, it stayed in that state until they lost sight of us." Romani said
"In other words–the more Servants it carries, the stronger it becomes?" Mash asks
"There were five Servants including Blackbeard on that ship. With Eric defeated, it's now four." Romani replied
"Maybe the reason he sought Euryale..."
"...is because he gets stronger with her on board. His interests also play a part, of course..." Romani said
"If only we could pull those Servants away somehow... But I'm sure it will be hard."
"Ah, I've never encountered a hindrance like him before. He knows nothing and still disturbs our Holy Grail search!
"Well, we pirates are all like that. We take treasures from people, no matter how good they may be." Romani said
"...If it's hard to pull them away, we'll have to slay them...And we better do it fast, before Blackbeard becomes even more powerful." Mash said
"Wyverns!" Siegfried shouted
"What?! Where?!" Mash said
"Wait a minute... these wyverns have also been defeated as well... could it be Master that did it?" Siegfried said
"Hey look, I found a note on one of the wyverns!" Lily said
"A note? What does it say?" Mash asks
"I've noticed that Francis Drake's ship is not in stable condition. So use these dragons as materials for the ship. Sonic." That's what the note says." Lily readout
"Use these dragons as materials? Wait a minute, Senpai is correct! We can use these wyverns as materials for the ship!" Mash said
"Huh? You're going to fix my ship with dragons?" Francis Drake said
"That's one smart animal... If you process it, dragon scales are even harder than steel. We need someone really strong to process it, but...
"Uuugh..." Asterios said
"Oh, you're here. Can you handle it?" Euryale asks
"Yes."
"Looks like it won't be a problem for Asterios. I'll try to strip their scales immediately!" Mash said
"Yeah, I feel reassured with this guy! But don't overdo it like before! Hey, let's eat first! After that, I'll let you meet our blacksmith!
"Y—Ye-ah... We...eat food...together."
*Later*
"*Shoots At One Of The Scales* Hmm... These scales are tough, but we still need more." Francis Drake said
"*Swings His Sword At The Scales* Oh man, I can use one of these for training!" Lily said
"Technical Director Leonardo. How many more wyverns do we need to slay to fix the ship?" Mash asks
"Considering the size of the scale and how it shrinks while processing... I think 30 more wyverns should be enough. As we speak, Sonic has probably taken down more wyverns for us to use. We just need to find them." Da Vinci said
"Let's do that right now," Mash said
"Hmmm, maybe I should change the ship's name to the "Golden Dragon"..." Francis Drake said
*Inside The Forest*
Sonic and Fou continue walking through the forest minding their own business. As they were walking, they heard a voice of a female coming from a distance talking with someone. Sonic runs toward the location of the voices, hides behind a tree, and looks at the female person who was currently talking with some tiny bear. The young woman had round blue eyes and long white hair, with the bottom of her hair attaches to a large circular ornament. She wears a long white dress with a red tip at the bottom, a silver necklace, and a pair of sandals. And also a small brown bear with black eyes and wearing an outfit that resembles the one worn by cavemen and wields a small club as a weapon.
"Fou..."
"Shhhh..." Sonic whisper
"...All right. Uh, chop that up...and add some spices, and sauté...Oh no, we need to add some vegetables too, right? Will that grass there does? There! Okay, now put it in that box... And stir... Done! Darling, I made you a boxed lunch!"
"Wait. Do you even know how you made that? It's just grilled meat with some plucked weeds sprinkled on top, you can't call it a boxed lunch."
"Don't say that. Please try some? It's tasty, you know?"
"How are you so confident in a boxed lunch with that kind of quality?"
"You're asking so much, darling... What?"
"Hmm... Something's coming. Looks like a Servant."
"Is it friend or foe?"
"If she's cute, I don't care which side she's... No, it's nothing. *Scrapped On The Tree* Don't scrape me on this tree trunk! Owww!"
"This is perfect. I'm getting bored of this island already. I don't even know why we were summoned here in the first place!"
"Yes, you're right. Friend or foe, we need information."
"...Well, it's not like I want to leave or anything, though..."
"Speak for yourself. These last two islands are way too boring."
"And there weren't any cute girls?"
"No, there weren't. ...I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot that I rely completely on you and that I leech off you for everything. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't swing me around..."
The tiny bear hits a tree and falls to the ground soon after.
"Eek! Darling, I'm sorry!"
"You think apologizing is enough?! You moron!"
"Fou..."
"Wow... I've never seen anyone like these two before... I had my fair share of talking objects before... but... this is on a whole new level... I know! I'll introduce myself to them. That way, if they ever encountered Mash and the others, they won't feel threatened and try to kill them." Sonic commented
"Fou!"
Sonic then walks out of the tree and walks toward the female and the tiny bear. The female notices Sonic as her eyes widen and quickly aims her bow at him with an arrow ready. Sonic smirks and pushes the bow away from him with one finger.
"W-We got company..." The Tiny Bear said
"Who the hell are you?! Where did you come from?!" The female shock
"Relax... I come at peace, don't worry. I'm just here to talk." Sonic replied
"W-Wait?! That animal can talk?! Did I hit my head hard on the tree?! Are you friend or foe?" The Bear said
"I'm a friend... And I should say the same thing to you plush bear who can talk as well." Sonic replied
"I'm not a plush toy, okay? But I will admit I do look like one. Who are you anyway?" The Bear said
"I'm Sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog! The fastest Hedgehog to ever exist and on top of me is my little companion, Fou." Sonic introducing himself
"Fou!"
"Sonic huh? That's a unique name... Right... Anyway... please forgive us for the harsh introduction. Usually, when we meet talking creatures, they attack us without any warning. But for you, you're different. Nice to meet you as well, my name is Orion. You seem like a respectful animal for the most part." Orion introducing himself
"Nice to meet you as well, Orion. That is also quite a unique I've heard as well. Don't worry, I've also talked with talking beings as well before." Sonic replied
"Sonic... The Hedgehog? Wait a minute? Are you a Master?" The female said
"I certainly am one... But it wasn't my intention to be one in the first place. Also, it's nice to meet you, I'm Sonic as you may already hear. I hope my appearance doesn't bother you that much. I know a lot of the times it does but I'm used to it at this point." Sonic replied
"My name is Artemis and this is my wonderful darling as you can already tell! He's such an adorable person!" Artemis said
"DON'T CRUSH ME AGAIN!" Orion shouted
"I see... Don't worry, I won't judge who your type is. It's not exactly my thing to judge others." Sonic replied
"Now that we got our names out the way. What exactly are you doing here?" Orion asks
"Well, I'm here to fix this era alongside my human friends. And the rest of the other singularities as well. Right now we already fixed a couple but we still have a long way to go. But it doesn't matter how long it will take... Because for sure we will fix each of them," Sonic replied
"Human friends? Are any of the beautiful women?" Orion asks
Artemis squeezes Orion once again in front of Sonic.
"You have me! ME!" Artemis shouted
"OW! STOP! THAT HURTS! I'M SORRY!" Orion shouted
"Fou..."
"Anyway, moving away from this topic. You have probably seen the dragons around the island all lying around on this island." Sonic said
"We sure did, did you take them all down on your own?" Artemis asks
"The one and only! They were a piece of cake to take care of!" Sonic replied
"You took down all those dragons on your own?! But how?!" Orion asks
"Hehe!"
Sonic dashes away and runs around the island at light speed before appearing in front of Orion and Artemis once again.
"WOW! So fast!" Artemis shock
"Does that answer your question?" Sonic said
"I've seen my fair share of others going fast. But I have never seen someone run as fast as you!" Orion shock
"Running isn't the only thing I'm capable of. I have a wide arsenal of skills to use for combat as well." Sonic replied
"Including a bow?" Artemis asks
"Of course! I had my fair share of using a bow before... but not in combat. Think of it as... bows use for an only professional sports event that happens every four years." Sonic replied
"You're one interesting being. I like you, Sonic. Say, how about we ally together? Fight alongside one another and even meet your human friends." Orion asks
"Sounds good to me!" Sonic replied
Sonic stretches his arms towards Artemis but Artemis just stares at Sonic with a blank stare.
"Don't worry, I don't bite. And I know what you're thinking and I'll say it here. I promise not to go in between you and Orion's relationship. Those are personal things for you two and I have nothing to do with them." Sonic said
"Yay! That's what I like to hear! Of course, will join alongside you!" Artemis replied
"Oh, brother..." Orion said
Moments later, Artemis shook Sonic's hands, creating an official Alliance between the four.
"Now then, let's go find my friends and introduce you two to them," Sonic said
"That will be nice," Orion replied
"Fou!"
*Later... With Mash And the Others*
"Found More defeated wyverns! And it's more than we thought!" Mash said
"Alright, very soon my ship will be good as new and stronger than before!" Francis Drake said
"Wait, I spotted a familiar and it's heading towards us!" Romani said
"There's a familiar on an island like this?" Mash said
"Hmmm... Something different about it, though. Looks like it doesn't have that much magical energy, so I don't think we need to be too concerned." Romani said
Moments later, the group sounds like tree branches being crushed around them. Everyone ready their weapons as the sounds of tree branches became clearer and clearer. Seconds later, Sonic appears alongside Fou, Artemis, and Orion.
"Oh, hey there guys! It's great to see you all again. Sorry for ditching you all again. I just needed to come here alone to make this island safe for you guys once you landed here." Sonic said
"Senpai! You're alive and safe!" Mash replied
"And I one piece," Sonic said
"Great to see you again, Dragon Slayer," Siegfried said
"Oh, so you saw those defeated Dragons around the island, huh? They were as weak as their French counterparts." Sonic replied
"I don't want to crash this little reunion of yours but who are those two behind you?" Francis Drake asks
"Oh, these two are Artemis and Orion. I met them while I was exploring the island on my own with Fou. We had an interesting introduction but we settled things soon after. Artemis, Orion, these are my friends!" Sonic said
"Great to see you all, names Orion and right here is Artemis," Orion said
WHAT?!" Mash shock
"..."
"D-Did that thing just talk?" Elizabeth said
"W-Why is everyone shocked? They are just normal people to me." Sonic said
"You don't understand, Sonic. A super famous one just appeared... She doesn't seem to be faking it... What do we do?" Francis Drake asks
"I-I don't know..."
"I'm guessing that plush toy here is Orion, right?" Lily said
"Yep...I knew that he was going to be summoned and got worried so I came as his substitute!" Artemis replied
"I, I see... By lowering her divinity, it allows her to be summoned as a substitute Heroic Spirit... It's not like there aren't previous cases..." Romani said
"When I was summoned into this Holy Grail War, I got turned into a strange creature, By the way, I'm infinitely close to useless. I can't live unless I depend on her for everything." Orion said
"Hehe. You can depend on me even more, Darling." Artemis replied
"Don't worry, Orion. You aren't useless in my eyes. You'll be a great addition to this adventure that I want to get out of the way already." Sonic said
*Later*
"Finally, we're halfway," Mash said
"So hot, so tired, so exhausted, need booze..." Francis Drake said
"The captain is such a slacker."
"Well, you've been leaving everything to Asterios for a while now..."
"That's fine. I give orders, and he acts." Euryale replied
"Hey, hey, Darling," Artemis said
"What?"
"Are there male and female wyverns?"
"They have parents, but I've never heard about gender," Orion replied
"Parents?"
"Yes. Their parents are not of the wyvern subspecies. Wyverns are born from their superior species, dragons. I guess they're more like minions than children." Orion said
"...So... For example... They are way bigger than wyverns?" Mash asks
"Yes."
"And if we keep slaying their wyvern minions, they will become excited or angry?" Mash said
"...Well, they probably won't forgive us... and considering Sonic took care of all of the wyverns on this island. Will be safe for a longer period." Orion replied
"Although hearing Senpai taking down an army of wyverns is already an achievement. It isn't the first time he's taken down an army on his own." Mash said
"And I back up those claims as well. I've seen him in action alongside me before." Siegfried said
"Well after showing us his speed and defeating the wyverns on his own, I do not doubt that. I can feel the extreme wave of confidence that Hedgehog has." Orion replied
"What can I say. Taking down an army is just another weekend for me." Sonic said
*Later*
After a while, Francis Drake finally; ly repairs her ship[ and is now ready to set sail once again with the others.
"Improvements and repairs complete! We fixed the hole in the bilge. No leaks were found. We also equipped the ram with the leftover scales. Things are going to get interesting. Now... Asterios! Time for your unrivalled strength and dauntless courage to step up!" Francis Drake said
"Uh... Uhhh!"
"Looks like your wound has healed. You are durable. Just like my loser sister. All right, go for it!"
"Uuuuh!"
"Whoaaaa! Incredible! Damn, Asterios! Is there anything you can't do!? We all admire you... Uh, as men..."
"Ugh... Huh."
"All right, men! Time to take our revenge on Blackbeard! Don't worry, this time we'll be fine! Believe in me and follow me!" Francis Drake shouted
All of the pirates roared.
"Hey, Darling. Let's do that. The you-know-what. That thing where I stand at the bow and extend both arms." Artemis said
"Yep, you can do it. By yourself. Be careful of seagulls." Orion replied
"You won't hug me from behind? So cruel!"
"Don't ask a plush toy for the impossible!"
"Another talking animal?"
"Just like these two here. It's a harmless creature. Just let it be. Fou is way cuter anyway." Francis Drake replied
"Fou! (Do not compare me to that thing!)" Fou said
"Hehe... Fou said to not compare him to that bear." Sonic said
"Oh my... I'm sorry, Fou. Indeed, you have more class and flair...All right, we're setting sail! Ring the bell!" Francis Drake replied
"You guys go ahead. Fou and I will stay back for a while." Sonic said
"Why? What are you doing? You can't just ditch again a third time already" Elizabeth asks
"Don't worry, this time is different. You can count on me. I know what I'm doing, right Fur-Ball?" Sonic said
"Fou! (Certainly!)"
*Later*
Francis Drake, Mash, and the others have already set sail across the sea while Sonic and Fou stayed behind on the island. On the ship, Mash and the others were currently dealing with enemy pirates invading Francis Drake's ship.
"Let's hope Sonic knows where we are going," Mash said
"We'll be entering unknown territory soon. We won't be able to use the Vikings' map anymore. It'll be an adventure, so that's fine! The problem is Blackbeard's ship." Francis Drake said
"Even with just these Servants, it's still a formidable amount of enemies. If we make a bad approach, their guns and cannons will destroy our ship." Mash replied
"We're way faster though. Should we use the ram to charge in?" Francis Drake said
"These seas don't seem to have many obstacles... We'll probably encounter them from afar like last time. If we were to have any chance, it would have to be during a Wild Hunt... They don't notice us, we notice them, and then a storm hits at the perfect time..."
"That's wishing for too much."
"...How about we shoot arrows before they notice us, to confuse them?" Euryale said
"They'll certainly be confused, but there are still Servants on their side. ...That woman with the musket is especially problematic. If it turns into a gunfight, I don't think the confusion tactic will work." MAsh said
"Why doesn't someone board their ship and cause a riot before the ships collide?" Artemis asks
"Are you stupid? How would someone board their ship before our ship... Oh." Orion said
"...Something wrong?"
"Hehe. I am a goddess. But... I was technically summoned as Orion. So I have control over Orion's power." Artemis replied
"Ah, now I remember. Orion can walk on water." Romani said
"You're the son of Lord Poseidon so you can walk on water... Wait, that's it?" Euryale said
"...Look, even I wish I had slightly cooler powers! I mean, walk on water? What am I, a water strider or something?" Orion replied
"You should see Sonic, he's just a Hedgehog but he can run on water super fast," Mash said
"Seriously, can that dude not do anything?!" Orion replied
"He's Sonic, what do you expect from a cocky Hedgehog who's able to do anything perfectly?" Elizabeth said
"Aww, you're so cute when you're sad! I just want to squeeze you tight! Squeeeeeeze..." Artemis hugging Orion
"Mash, comfort me in your bosom!"
"I refuse."
"Anyway, we've been dealt a new card. Now, I have something to ask you guys..." Francis Drake said
*With Blackbeard*
"Woo-hoo-hoo! Heh, heh, heh... Hohohohoho... Gasp! Awww, once I wake up, my harem is nothing but a distant dream. The only ones here are our teacher and the yuri couple in their little world. ...Well, I happen to like yuri myself. Since sleeping alone is so lonely (glance)" Blackbeard said
"I would rather have a better conversation with that shooting star rather than be with you," Anne said
"Incredible, Anne. This captain wants to sleep with us." Mary said
"For someone with zero popularity, or rather, negative popularity, that's rich. We didn't appear in your dreams, did we? If so, I'll just have to hit you with my gunstock till you forget." Anne replied
"Heh heh. So many heroines populate my dreams, I just don't remember." Blackbeard said
"...Incredible, Anne. The captain has lumped us together as mob heroines." Mary said
"Yes Let's kill him, after all "
"...Huh? Hey Captain, your enemies are here. That Francis Drake."
"Euryale-chan is here? And the Holy Grail, too!"
"Most likely. I have to say, they're out for revenge a lot earlier than expected."
"Yahoo! Prepare to receive them!"
"Well, I guess we don't have a choice. Let's get to work." Mary said
"Yeah, you're right. But I'm pretty sure I opened a big hole in their bilge... What did they do?" Anne asks
"–What's more important is how they're coming back after such a severe beating. ...They have something up their sleeve. But I have nothing to do with it.:"
"Mmm? Are they planning to charge straight in without a plan? A reckless and self-destructive assault! Pretty unusual for that old hag." Blackbeard replied
"Not exactly, Captain. Isn't the one at the bow the Servant you're infatuated with?" Mary asks
"Euryale-chan? What's this about my Euryale-chan? Bow! Is she at the bow? Yay! Euryale-chan! Come spread your arms at the bow with me!" Blackbeard shouted
The arrow Euryale fired missed Blackbeard.
"Tch, I missed. No, I feel like I missed on purpose. I felt like my arrow would be soiled..." Euryale said
"I'm sorry, but can you try to aim and shoot him down? Your arrows are disposable. Deal with it. If we don't get him now, Captain Drake and I have to fight that Servant in close combat." Mash said
"I know. But instead of hitting Blackbeard directly... It's better if I hit someone else. That's how my "arrow" works.
"At least we don't have to worry about the pirates since that shooting star took them all out," Elizabeth said
"Oh, I forgot about that thing! Missy Anne! Missy Anne!" Blackbeard said
"Please don't call to me in that creepy voice. What is it, Captain?" Anne asks
"Gigi. Say, why don't you go pew at them!"
"If it wasn't for the disruption, I would have done so," Anne replied
"Countin' on ya! Let's see... Don't tell me this is all you got, old hag-chan?" Blackbeard said
"Of course not, pervert captain."
"Hi!" Artemis said
"An angel... There is an angel here... There is an angel... But who are you? Is the shooting star that appeared earlier?!" Blackbeard said
"I don't what you are talking about... I am Orion! I'll kill all of you " Artemis replied
"Go kill her!"
"Gotcha!"
"...Geez. They sure work their plush toys hard. One, two. One, two. One, two."
"Dammit! Missy Mary! I'm counting on you!" Blackbeard shouted
"You don't need to say it!" Mary replied
"Oh human, I'd be troubled if you get too close to me," Artemis said
"Figures. Since you're probably an Archer from the looks of it!"
"Artemis! Tell them we're ready!" Orion said
"Darling! Understood, Captain!"
"All right! Helmsman, hard to starboard! Get a good angle! We'll rip through its belly with the ram!" Francis Drake commanded
"Gotcha, Boss! Hard to starboard!"
"Oh... My... God! Everyone, hold on! It's gonna explooooooooooode!" Blackbeard shouted
"What?"
"Explode?"
"Ah, so that's what's going on! Dammit!"
"The ammo!"
Moments later, Blackbeard's ship explodes and destroys his ship while also starting a massive fire.
"That went well, Darling!" Artemis said
"I-I thought I'd die down there! I lit the fuse and ran! Ran at full speed!" Orion replied
"You bastards..."
"How rude. Fine, I'll play with you for a while." Artemis replied
"Don't play, shoot her down! ...Though, what a waste it will be." Orion said
"Okay Oh, and Darling, I'll punish you later," Artemis said
"C-C-C-Calm down! Everybody calm down! Extinguish the fire first! Now everybody strips down..." Blackbeard panicking
"Regain your sanity, Captain," Anne said
"W-W-W-W-What? I'm super sane, you know? More importantly, Missy Anne, take off your pants too!" Blackbeard replied
"Next time you say that I'll shoot."
"I'm sane again! And I understand! Hard to starboard! Anyway, we have to get out of here! Wait ...Oh, great. Looks like it's too late! All hands, brace for impact! Bahahaha, I've always wanted to say that!" Blackbeard said
"It's the Golden Hind!"
"Right! Both fast and sturdy!"
"Prepare to board, my filthy scoundrels! Yes, yes! Let the plundering begin!" Francis Drake shouted
"Uuuuuuuu!"
"Asterios, go!"
"Let's do this!" Siegfried said
"Right behind you! This is for Master!" Lily replied
"I wonder where he is right now," Elizabeth said
Moments later the same flying laser that appeared before shows up and hits Mary, knocking her to the ground as the laser zooms by. Anne's eyes widen as she looks up and sees the flying laser once flying straight back at her. She aims her weapon at the laser and fires at it but the laser dodges them easily and hits Anne on her face, throwing her to the ground hard and letting go of her giant weapon.
"That shooting star again! It's helping us once again!" Francis Drake said
"That isn't no shooting star. That is Senpai." Mash replied
"Wait really?!" Elizabeth said
"No wonder why he decided to stay back. He wanted to surprise us with his new form." Siegfried said
"Go! Master! Show them what you are made of!" Lily cheering Sonic on
"Wait, that shooting star is actually that Blue animal?! I can't even comprehend him anymore..." Euryale said
"WHO IS HE?! WHY COULDN'T I GET A COOL POWER LIKE THAT BLUE HEDGEHOG!?" Orion shouted
"Awww! You're so adorable when you are angry! *Hugs Orion Tightly*"
"STOP! YOU'RE CRUSHING ME AGAIN!"
"NO! NO! What are you doing you two! Get that shooting star!" Blackbeard shouted
"It's too damn fast. By the time we even see it, it's already too late..." Mary replied
Mary slowly gets back up and looks around her surroundings to locate the shooting star. Without warning, the laser appears behind her and goes through her body, creating a huge hole and flying away soon after. Mary looks down at her stomach and slowly falls to the ground, motionless.
"..."
"Mary!" Anne shouted
Moments later, the flying laser zooms by and also goes through Anne, creating a huge hole in her stomach where blood spews out. Anne then falls to the ground as well as both she and Mary vanished.
"..."
"Oh geez... I didn't expect that Blue animal to take things an extra mile." Euryale said
"I can't lose to that shooting star! Hey, shooting star! Come at me! Are you afraid to fight the glorious Blackbeard?!" Blackbeard shouted
The laser hits a prism and heads toward Blackbeard at light speed. Blackbeard makes a fist as he rushes at the Laser and throws a punch at the laser. The punch was obviously unaffected as the laser hits Blackbeard in the stomach and knocks him to the ground hard. Blackbeard lays on the ground motionless and shocked after being easily beaten by a laser.
"What did you expect from that outcome?" Francis Drake asks
All of a sudden, an arrow hits Blackbeard in the chest.
"What the?!"
"Huh?!"
"Teach! Dammit, you... To your own comrade!?" Francis Drake shouted
"Well... You finally let your guard down, Captain. I mean, you act totally carefree, but wherever you are, you're always gripping your gun warily. This old man's really impressed. After all, a genius who acts like a moron is more trouble than a moron calling himself a genius."
"...I see... So that's why...I couldn't read your true thoughts... But betraying me under these circumstances? Mistah Hektor, are you an idiot?" Blackbeard shouted
"Oh please, this old man's doing it knowing there's a fair chance to succeed. All right, Captain, I'll take your Holy Grail now!" Hektor said
Blackbeard fires his gun at Hektor but misses him.
"Too bad, you missed. The Holy Grail...is mine!" Hektor said
"Is that...the Holy Grail!?" Edward Teach was... the Singularity for this era?" Mash said
"I screwed up..."
"Now all that's left is...you. Francis Drake. Sheesh. The plan was to let the Holy Grail fall into an idiot's hands, causing this era to fall apart. I can't believe that a voyager who exists only to stop that would appear. The Naval Chart of Mankind sure walks on a tightrope. Just kidding. I don't care about the correct Holy Grail. My objective is...her." Hektor said
"EEK!"
"Euryale!"
Hektor grabs hold of Euryale tightly.
"Hey, let me go!"
"Please behave."
"That means you were betraying Teach even before you boarded this ship?" Francis Drake said
"I guess you can call me a Trojan Horse? Granted, I've never seen the real thing."
"Let her goooo!" Asterios shouted
"...Whoa! You're a dangerous one!"
"Oh!"
"Minotaur–huh? A combination that is the true beauty and the beast. Still... This old man hasn't fallen so far as to be defeated by an incompetent Berserker!" Hektor said
Moments later, the laser appears once again and heads straight towards Hektor. Hektor looks up as the laser hits him in the face and knocks him to the ground, alongside Euryale. Hektor doesn't waste time as he quickly vanishes away from the sight.
"They're gone!" Lily said
"Dammit, Sonic was right there and Hektor vanished in the absolute last second! He had a ship ready! Cheeky bastard!" Orion said
"Blackbeard's subordinates... vanished." Mash said
"They were created by Blackbeard's magical energy. Now that the Holy Grail is gone, they can't be maintained. ...Even though he himself still looks full of energy." Romani replied
"Hey everybody, it's almost time to say goodbye! Don't you dare think you won, old hag, got that?" Blackbeard said
"We didn't even do anything at all! It was that shooting star that did all the work." Francis Drake replied
"Damn you. You're being nice to me... Makes my heart flutter. I'd say, "Marry me, I'll make you happy"... I mean, you've been single ever since you were born, no?" Blackbeard said
"I've had enough of you nitwit! Hurry up and kick the bucket!"
"Hahaha, what a nice insult! Now that I'm satisfied, it's time to die! But this time I won't be beheaded. Because I am the greatest pirate after all! I am a merry pirate, and I will die as one! I regret that I wasn't able to create my harem, but I still had fun. I approve! ...Oh, old hag. Don't you need a story route where I revive as a rival? Wouldn't it be great if I revived with a line like "It's been decided, I'm the one who defeats you!" or something?" Blackbeard said
"...Not needed, useless. Come on, snuff it. Mash told me about your final moments. Make sure to take that head with you!" Francis Drake replied
"Okay, well that's all fine! Hah, that's all dandy and fine! Fandy and dine! The woman who Blackbeard respected most! The pirate who he yearned for most! She is present at Blackbeard's deathbed, and he keeps his head intact! Then, farewell humanity! Farewell pirates! And so Blackbeard draws his last breath! Haha! Ahahahaha!" Blackbeard laughed before vanishing away
"Hurry up and die, Edward. In the end, both you and I are headed to hell. Why don't we pay for our misdeeds with disgrace and shame like true pirates?" Francis Drake said
"...The ship will collapse. Let's go back!" Mash said
Francis Drake looks up as she watches Sonic flying in his laser form over them at light speed and flying soon after.
"I owe you one, Sonic. Thank you." Francis Drake said
