Life As A Chaldean Master

Master By Day, Video Game Character By Night


*Chaldea, Tomoe's Room*

It was a peaceful day inside Chaldea as everyone was currently doing their things as every other day, especially Tomoe Gozen, playing video games inside her room while eating pizza in casual clothes.

"I think I've figured it out."

"Yeah, me too."

"Doubles of us..."

"Places and enemies from our past..."

"We're traveling through time and space!"

"*Watching And Listening To The In-Game Cutsence* Is that how Master was when he was younger? *Blushing* Awww... He looks so adorable! I wish I could squeeze him and give him the care as his older self!" Tomoe said

Tomoe looks at the Game's Box art and stares at Sonic and his younger self running alongside one another. She smiles as she places the box next to her and continues playing her Master's game. Nothing special happens for the next 10 minutes as Tomoe continues playing as usual without any distractions. That is when a couple of Servants decided to visit her.

"*Hears Knocking At Her Room* Come in!" Tomoe said

"*Doors Opens As Thrud Enters The Room Alongside Ortlinde and Hildr* Good day, Tomoe, we are here for another 2 hours of video game time. I heard you obtained new games that don't talk about love this time." Thrud said

"Will like to try them out, if that's okay with you," Ortlinde asks

"Oh, hey there, gaming buddies! I sure did buy myself some new video games to try out from Ms. Da Vinci's workshop. Of course, you three could try them out as well. Hey, where's Rindr, Olrun, and Geirskogul at?" Tomoe questioned

"They are busy taking care of big Sister from Sigurd as we speak. We don't want anyone hurting her while we aren't around, don't we?" Hildr replied

"I see; it's no wonder Brynhild is always protected by you six every time I see you around. But anyway, come inside and enjoy another gaming session with me! I'll give you three other controllers once I finish this level. I'll set up some Smash bros after this." Tomoe said

Soon, the three Valkyries made their way inside the room and sat in their usual spots. They looked at the T.V. and noticed the game Tomoe was playing and watching the character she was controlling, running at extreme speeds.

"*Suprise* Oh my, the character's movement is going fast. You practically can't see its surroundings." Hildr said

"*Controlling The Character* It's unique. Not only that, but I asked B.B. to help me increase the character's speed of movement, and now it feels more awesome to control this character." Tomoe said

"Impressive. Who's this character you're controlling anyway?n *Takes A Closer Look* Hmmm... This character looks. familiar..." Ortlinde said

"I don't know why, but I feel it's someone we know..."

"*Giggles* I think it's pretty obvious," Tomoe replied

Seconds later, Tomoe completes the stage as it shows the results screen. The Valkyries quickly noticed the character and were shocked to see the character Tomoe was controlling. It was their own Master, Sonic The Hedgehog, breakdancing while getting an S-Ranked score.

"MASTER!?" All three Valkyries shouted

"Huh? What's the matter? Indeed it's our Master..."

"S-Since, when was Master inside a video game!? Tomoe! What did you do!" Ortlinde shock

"W-What do you mean? This is one of many games Master has created throughout the years... This is just one of them..." Tomoe said

"Master has his games as well?! Since when?! No one ever told me!" Thrud shock

"Sisters! Look!"

Ortlinde and Thrud notice that Hildr has a stack of games Tomoe had that were only about Sonic and his adventures. They notice titles such as Adventure 1 and 2, Unleashed, Heroes, The Advance Series, All-Stars Racing, The Olympic Games, and more. The three were shocked, and they continued looking through the

"T-These are all the games Master is in?!" Hildr shock

"Yep, all the games that were created for Sonic. Some were fun, ok, meh, and interesting. I recommend you not play the game released in 2006 A.D. *Shows The Three THAT Game* For some reason, Master gets embarrassed when that game is always mentioned. I played it for myself to see why he is always like this. And... Well... Let's say I don't play it, for Master's sake..." Tomoe commented

"I-I can't believe I'm just learning about this right now... Master..." Thrud said

"What are we going to do?" Hildr said

"There's only one thing to do. And it's the only way to get a definitive answer. Even the Ice Queen wouldn't be able to understand as well." Ortlinde replied


*Command Room*

"*Jumps Out Of The Teleporter, Returning From His World With Consort Yu And Xiang Yu Behind As Well* And we have returned to Chaldea! I hope you two enjoyed spending time together in my world with all the beautiful places my world has to offer while I was busy doing some stuff with my friend Tails." Sonic said

"We thank you for giving us such an opportunity to visit such a peaceful world. One, me and my wife could find peace together." Xiang Yu thanked Sonic

"*Blushing* D-Did we have to return here? I wished we had stayed a little longer over there. There were so many places I saw that I wanted to explore. Especially the good food that Master's place has to offer." Consort Yu asks

"It's okay, my dear wife. This won't be the last time we won't be visiting such a peaceful place. His world is an open world for us Servants to rest." Xiang Yu replied

"That's correct, Xiang Yu! Ask me anytime if you want to return to my world to do something similar! I have no problem doing so!" Sonic replied

"That will be delightful, Master. We thank you once again for such an experience."

"Yes, thank you for taking us to such a beautiful place, Master. Oh, it looks like my inner kindness came out. I don't usually do this when I'm around a human. But since you aren't one, I won't mind letting that slide." Consort Yu said

"Hehe! Glad I can make you guys happy!" Sonic replied

"Now, if you excuse us, Master. We will be on our way if you have anything to ask us. Let us know; we will be ready." Xiang Yu said

"Sounds good to me! See you two later!" Sonic replied

Xiang Yu and Consort Yu make their way out of the Command Room as Sonic walks towards the teleporter and shuts it down, with the Chaos Emeralds no longer glowing or active. Once everything was done, he stretched his body as he was about to head out of the Command Room. That is when Hildr, Ortlinde, and Thrud suddenly flew into the Command Room and quickly stopped in front of Sonic. Sonic was confused by the sudden appearance of the three Valkyries.

"Oh, Hildr, Thrud, Ortlinde... What brings you three here today? Have something to tell me?" Sonic asks

"Yes, it's mandatory! Please, kindly follow us to Ms. Tomoe's room. We need to ask you a few questions." Thrud replied

"A few questions? Tomoe's room? What's the meaning of this? What's going on? Did something happen to Tomoe? Did she break another Computer after playing a difficult game?" Sonic questioned

"No, it's something more important than that. Please, follow us. You need to follow us, Master." Ortlinde replied

"If it's private, then I guess I have no choice but to oblige and see what's going on," Sonic said

"*Grabs Sonic's Arms And Flies Out of The Command Room With Thrud and Ortlinde* We will need an explanation, pronto!" Hildr said

"Alright, alright, I already know. You're taking me there anyway." Sonic commented


*Back To Tomoe's Room*

Shortly after, the four return to Tomoe's room, where the three Valkyries point at the T.V. and are in a state of shock to see Sonic himself inside the T.V. Sonic is confused until he realizes what is happening and giggles.

"Oh, now I see what's happening. I'm guessing that all of this was because you saw me inside a video game, thinking I was somehow sucked into the television, correct?" Sonic asks

"That is correct. Why weren't we aware of such news from you? How long has this been going on?" Thrud questioned

"D-Didn't I tell you three before? Our Master is a Video game icon outside of being a Master. He's quite famous, you know? He isn't just a nameless being." Tomoe said

"W-We didn't believe it at first... Big Sister nor the Ice Queen ever mentioned anything about such information." Hildr replied

"I had thoughts Teach would've told you three by now. Guess I was mistaken this time. Also, I see Tomoe that you're playing the game where I met my younger self to defeat the Time Eater. Those were some good times. *Notices The Smash Bros Game And Picks It Up* Oh man, I haven't seen these guys in a while. I wonder how they are doing, granted, I think they probably forgot about me by this point. But that's beside the point." Sonic said

"W-What are you talking about, Master?" Hildr asks

"I'm glad you asked, Hildr. These games are based on the adventures I experienced in the past before. Including the game I'm holding as well." Sonic replied

"Previous adventures... Does that mean these games' storylines happened to you in the past before?" Thrud said

"That's right! From an outside perspective, it seems that my adventures were made up by the developers that created the games. But they indeed happened to my friends and me before. Think of them as memoirs of my past adventures before being a Master." Sonic said

"..."

"And this isn't the first time I've been told about being a video game character. Only Teach and Oskabehime knew about my existence before they arrived in Chaldea. Here, I'll tell you a little story of other Servants finding out about this, just like what happened just now. It goes deeper, so bear with me on this one." Sonic replied


*Flashback*

"Master, can I ask you a favor? I hope it isn't too much to ask from you." Ryougi Shiki (Saber) asks

"Not at all, Shiki! What is it that you have in mind?" Sonic replied

"You've been working so hard for us, Servants, giving us more freedom and fighting alongside us in the field of battle. Something a regular Master wouldn't be able to do in just a short amount of time. And for that, would you like to come to spend some peaceful time in my shrine in the simulation room? I can also cook you your favorite meal as well. It's the least I can do for my Master, who works hard on keeping his Servants happy and comfortable inside Chaldea." Ryougi Shiki said

"*Suprised* Inviting me to your shrine for some quality time? Never have I thought I would be invited to something like before. Well, if it's alright for me to tag along. Then sure, I'll join in as well!" Sonic replied

"Thank you, Master. I already have your outfit we will need when we're in the shrine. Don't worry; with the help of the other Servants like Raikou and Boudica, we made you an outfit that might fit you perfectly." Ryougi Shiki said

"Alright! I can't wait to see that later! Thank you, guys!" Sonic replied

"Fou! Fou! (This will be the first time I've seen Sonic in some clothes. Not just wearing white gloves and shoes every day.)." Fou said

"I had my fair share of putting on outfits before. But they are mostly for special events and such." Sonic replied

"Make sure you're here in a few hours. I need to do something else right now as we speak. We don't want any distractions now, don't we? *Walking Away As Jack And The Kids Ran Past Her*."

"*Running Towards Sonic* Mommy! Mommy! We have something to tell you!" Jack shouted

"*Notices Jack And The Others Kid Running Towards Him* Oh, hey there, kids! What's going on?" Sonic said

"Master, we need to show you something! Show him, Rhyme!" Jeanne (Lily) said

"I can't believe what we just saw right now..." Bunyan said

"What are you waiting for?! Show him!" Illya said

"How long have you been our Master and never told us anything about this, Big brother?" Miyu asks

"Whoa, whoa, let's calm down for a second, kids. What's going on? What's with the panicking right now? Did something terrible happen?" Sonic confused

"It's something more significant, Master. *Show Sonic A Game Box That Has A Picture Of Himself With The Title Called Sonic Colors* Da Vinci told us everything about your past. Were you just another one of those fictional characters like the stories we read?" Rhyme asks

"*Looks At The Cover For A Moment And Smiles* Hey, that's one of the many games based on me. How long was it since I saw it?" Sonic replied

"Could you explain why you are a video game character? I thought video game characters were just fictional and didn't even exist. But since our Master is a video game character... Man, this is confusing..." Chole commented

"So this is what is going on? And I'm glad you kids brought this to me. Let's just say I work with a well-known company, and we teamed up to make games based on my previous adventures. Like my explanation to the other Servants about my adventures through Camelot and the Arabian Nights, games were created based on said adventures. Including this game that you are holding." Sonic said

"So you existed this whole time, but you kept quiet while working with this video game company? Just like how Chaldea is silent about you existing and being a Master?" Illya said

"That's the answer. There's nothing for me to hide. I want players to experience the story of what I've been through. In a more fun way to interact without just being a spectator who doesn't do anything. Hence, the games were created." Sonic replied

"Even the games where you turned into a werewolf, played in sports tournaments, racing games, and kissed by a human?" Alexander questioned

"All of those are correct! At the Olympics, I turned into a Werewolf, racing against others... And... *Rubbing His Back In Embasrement* Y-Yeah... that time I was kissed by a human. It would be kind if you don't mention the last part next time..." Sonic said

"Yeah! No one gets to take my Big Brother away from me! I could give him better treatment than what that woman did!" Chole said

"..."

"Anyway... What about those fighting games that you are involved in? Like the ones where many heroes and villains fight against one another?" Bunyan asks

"You must be talking about the Smash Bros games? Even those were real adventures that I also took part in. It was fantastic to meet other heroes from different worlds and timelines. I haven't seen any of them in a long time, so I don't know what they are doing now." Sonic replied

"You are unique, aren't you, Master? Who could've thought in the Throne of Heroes, Servants would be summoned by a Master known for being a video game character, meet other heroes and villains from other worlds, and works for a company as his side hobby? Is that the secret to getting the ladies around you every so often? Thank you for the basics!" Teach shouted from the halls

"I just do all of that for fun... My friends are more important to me than anyone else. Say, kids, where did you get this game in the first place?" Sonic asks

"We stole it from Oskabehime's room. We just wanted to tell a few stuff from her place to play around with and noticed the game that had you on the cover. At first, I thought it was just some art that she drew. But upon further inspecting, it was a video game." Miyu explained

"I see. Well then, I guess the only thing to remember is to not break into someone else's room without their permission; you got that, everyone? Make sure you put this game back from where you grabbed it." Sonic said

Everyone nods as Sonic hands the Sonic Colors copy back to the kids.

"I'm still shocked that we thought Master was just a fictional character at first and poofed out of nowhere into our reality," Bunyan said

"Hey, even Servants here are based on Mythology beings here. Keyword, Myth. So it isn't too far from Sonic's existence as well." Sapphire replied


*Present*

"So yeah, even though I explained to everyone here that I came from another world. I never told them about the games part of me. I didn't because the games and my actual adventures are the same and don't go into deep depth about what happened. But hey, at least you get to play it and experience the adventure I had to go through." Sonic said

"I hope you three understand. Even fictional characters can be real-life people sometimes. Only on some occasions. Sonic is one of them." Tomoe said

"I guess so... *Smiles* At least we know that Sonic wasn't just some fictional being and did exist in the first place," Hildr said

"Finally, I can lay the thought of my Master appearing out of nowhere to exist in the real world," Thrud said

"If only people outside Chaldea were allowed to hear that Sonic isn't just a fake. But a living being." Ortlinde said

"Don't worry. I won't disappear anytime soon! I promise I'll stay with all of you till the end! After all, this place is full of mythical beings like the Onis, Dusa, Gorgon, Scathach, and Kama. Think of me as someone like them, I don't exist in the real world, But I am well known to be recognized as someone to have some sort of personality." Sonic said

Everyone smiles, knowing that Sonic shares something in common with his Servants, as he gives them all a thumbs up.

"Now then... *Picks Up A Controller And The Smash Bros Game* Care for a Free for all match? I'll be picking myself, hehe!" Sonic joked

"Sure thing, Master!" Thrud said

"Heh, Just because you exist doesn't mean I could still take you down in your own game! You're going down, Master!" Tomoe said

"Hehe! I'll love to see you try!" Sonic replied

"Hey, that gives me a great idea. Why don't we Livestream this on ServantTube? We can have others watch us play live. And the best part, you'll be the special guest, and people will see that you are a real being." Tomoe asks

"As long as the Mages Association doesn't track us down," Sonic replied

"Don't worry, ServantTube blocks them from accessing it. Even the most advanced high-power can't access it. Now then, let us begin our gaming session with one of gaming's biggest icons!" Tomoe said
