1 year later…
Vicious was almost finished building his kingdom, he couldn't be more proud of it, he named the kingdom after its home planet Cykrease. In his opinion, earth and water type Cykresians were a big help in construction. With their elements they could create construction materials without much difficulty, so they managed to significantly speed up the process. The only part they did not finish were the outskirts of the kingdom, Vicious felt it was better to focus on the more complex buildings first as it required much more material and effort from his people. The outskirts would be built much easier so he didn't have to worry about it
The kingdom itself looked similar to Mobotropolis, with the exception of having a building in the center that was quite different in comparison of others. The residence was 2 floors tall, it looked more like a small tower, the residence was square-shaped, had white colored walls and navy blue flat roof. If anyone looked around he would find a large garden that circled around the tower, with various plants and flowers growing on the soil. The entrance consisted of double doors made out of birch wood, with gold colored circle shaped door handles.
Under the roof of the building, in gray bold letters a sentence was engraved, the sentence itself read:
"KING'S OFFICE"
On the right side of the entrance stood a golden board that read:
"A warrior proves himself through actions, not words"
That was only one of codes of honor King Vicious set for the Cykresians, he decided to engrave that one near the entrance as he felt that code was the most significant of them all.
The interior of the building was even more beautiful, on the ground floor there was a room that contained a single round table and 4 chairs surrounding it all made of oak wood.
Near the walls of the room were wide shelves containing many books that were related either to the Cykresians, their heritage or Mobians in general.
Near one of the shelves was a stairway that lead to the first floor, on that floor there was an arsenal of various weapons, firearms, manual, automatic, combat weapons, ranged weapons, hand-to-hand combat weapons etc.
Vic was very skilled in using all those weapons, combat weapons and hand-to-hand combat weapons were either made of steel or laser. The firearms were either with lead bullets or plasma energy, the 2 guards that were in front of the main entrance had plasma guns just in case.
On the second and final floor was Vic's office, the entrance was through double-doors made of oak tree with normal doorknobs. Inside you would usually find a large room with 2 shelves on each side of the wall and a table on the other side of the room, King Vicious usually spent his time on that desk doing the necessary paperwork for the kingdom.
As a king, Vic was wearing his usual clothes, with an exception of a red cape and a silver crown on his head.
A lot of different operations occurred there, from signing documents to smoking a cigarette whenever he made a pause.
Vic had quite an interesting way of smoking a cigarette, instead of lighting it up with a lighter he would shoot a small lightning bolt from his finger in order to ignite the top. He would usually enjoy the smoke the moment he finished his work, or if he was tired drop his head on the table and take a nap
This was one of the times he would relax, since he was tired he decided to take a nap instead of smoking.
At that moment someone knocked on the door, since Vic was already asleep he wasn't able to hear
The person knocked once more, still no response, a few seconds later the person opened the door
The door opened, revealing his wife Emily coming in with a smile on her face and carrying a baby in her arms
Upon seeing her husband asleep she turned towards the baby and said
"Looks like daddy's asleep, he must have worked himself out"
Despite seeing her husband asleep she came to his table
"Hey honey"
Vic's eyes immediately snapped open as he didn't expect anyone, he even almost fell from the chair
Upon seeing his wife holding his kid in her arms Vic immediately sighed in relief
"Oh, it's you two. Don't scare me like that"
"Sorry, I didn't know the other way to wake you up. Especially since you sleep like a log"
Vic blushed a bit and put his arm on the back of the head as he was being embarrassed
"Well, I guess it makes sense, but all this paperwork is just driving me mad!" Vic said as he chuckled
"It can't be helped, you're the king right?" Emily said with a smirk
"I guess" Vic said while scratching the back of his head
Emily extended her hands and brought the baby closer to his father
"Tobias, say hi to daddy"
The night the Cykresian race was revived Vic and Emily got a little carried away during their cuddling, a few days later Emily started vomiting. This worried Vic as he took her to a hospital in Mobotropolis, after a test the doctor confirmed it.
Emily was pregnant
Vic couldn't explain the happiness he felt that moment, Emily as well.
They were finally going to become parents again, this time they were ready for it despite their kingdom being only in the beginning of construction.
For Vic, everything felt just perfect, he became a king, a leader of his people.
And now, he was going to become a father once again.
There weren't any significant occurrences happening while Emily was pregnant, the building went well. Victor and Rachael were excited to become grandparents, Mal and Irene also happily awaited their nephew or niece. Vic also helped in building the kingdom, using his lightning element he managed to power up many facilities, factories and managed to provide electricity to the kingdom. Mobotropolis also wanted to help but Vic politely refused, in his words he didn't want them wasting their resources and believed they should use them for themselves instead.
While his kingdom was being built, he also went to Mobotropolis a lot of times. Mostly to meet his old friends again, one of his friends that was the happiest to see him again was John the Baratrian. He helped him a lot against Cykreeus back then, seeing his friend miraculously return from the afterlife truly filled his heart.
The moment they met they went to the pub, with many of Vic's other friends joining them. Similarly to John, they were all ecstatic to see Vicious again, when they entered the pub they immediately ordered a beer. The company mainly talked about Vic's experiences in the afterlife, their experiences in rebuilding the city, everything that happened while Vic was absent etc.
Vic was glad they managed to recover from Cykreeus's attack, even more glad to see that they didn't forget about him. After he told them he would build a new kingdom everyone offered him help, however Vic didn't want it, he told them they should focus in strengthening Mobotropolis instead.
They would even joke with him by calling him the king, which he was but he didn't really want his friends to call him that way. Which just proved how humble he was, which was something his friends liked about him
After a few beers, Vic let his friends know that Emily was pregnant.
After hearing it, his friends immediately made a toast with him to celebrate. After that toast they started drinking even more intensely, after a few hours they were all so drunk they barely found the exit of the pub.
After Vic parted his ways with them he had another problem
He got carried away with the alcohol, he was so drunk he could barely stand, let alone return to his kingdom.
"I see you're in trouble Vicky Boy"
Vic immediately turned towards there the voice was coming from and spotted a familiar face
Upon looking closely he realized from whom the voice came from
It was Misty the Hedgehog, she was a purple female hedgehog with 4 long bangs that stretched behind her, she had a blue line stretching from her forehead to the back of her head. Her eyes were emerald green and she wore blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Her shoes were dark green with purple soles
She knew Vic from way back, he looked a lot differently back then and went by the name of ss124. She remembered the…activities she did with Vic and her other female friend
"Misty, it's been a while."
"It sure has, I see you had one hell of a reunion with your friends" She stated
Vic smirked
"You're not wrong, it really was a pleasure to see them again. Especially since I won't have much time to come here once my kingdom is built"
It was midnight, the only light being the lampposts illuminating the street. Vic spotted a bench nearby
"Let's have a seat and talk, I can barely stand" Vic said
"Yeah, I heard that not only you but your entire race was brought back, it was all over the news. Knuckles did that right?" Misty asked
"Yep, he really helped me a lot. I was also crowned as the new king, I have so many plans for our nation that I don't know where to even start."
"How are things with Emily?"
Vic was surprised Misty knew about her
"It's fine, actually I was thinking about proposing to her, I do consider her my wife but I want to make it official."
"Oh wow, God sure had a lot in stock for you. First you became king, now you're gonna get married. Speaking of marriage me and Max got married while you were dead"
After saying that she showed him her wedding ring on the fourth finger of her left hand, this immediately caught Vic's attention
"Well, congrats! I'm sorry I wasn't present, how's Max doing anyway?"
"Oh he's fine, he is not mad at you anymore. I apologized to him so now we're all cool, I hope you are fine with him as well."
"Yeah…I mean, I have no reason to be mad at him actually. He never did anything to me, plus I have more important things I need to care about now"
"I guess, anyway, can you tell me where your kingdom is located? I doubt you can make it back yourself in that condition"
"You're right, I wouldn't, I would probably get lost or something. If I did that Emily would have killed me!"
They both shared a quick laugh after he said that
"Come on my king, let me take you back. You lead the way" Misty said as she extended her hand to help him stand up
"My kingdom is located near the Great Forest, you will see a white house with 2 floors. That's my house"
"All right" Misty said before she teleported along with him
When they arrived Vic was glad to see his home, he let go of Misty's hand and thanked her
"See you around, say hi to Emily for me" Misty said before teleporting away
After she teleported Vic made his way towards the house, he knocked on the door a few times
Emily opened the door, seeing her husband drunk didn't really surprise her, he didn't see his friends for a long time and was happy to be resurrected
"You really enjoyed yourself, didn't you?" Emily stated in a rather sarcastic yet joking matter
"Well, I couldn't help it. I didn't see them in a while, anyway, what's for dinner?"
Emily smiled and pulled her husband in
"Sit on the sofa and relax, I will warm it up for you"
Vic also remembered when he proposed to Emily, the kingdom was still on the beginning of construction. As he told Misty, he did consider Emily his wife but wanted to make it official, it was peaceful so he thought that there was no time like the present.
He took Emily out on a walk on the beach, they were walking for 15 minutes until Vic stopped
"You know Emily, there is a specific reason I brought you here in the first place. There was something I thought even back before Cykreeus appeared, however with all the shit going on I never had the time to ask you."
"What is it sweetie?" Emily asked curiously
"I saw many Cykresians being revived along with their children, seeing them have a family made me think. I realized I want a family too, unfortunately Cassandra and Tia won't come back so I want to start over. I want kids and I want to spend the rest of my life with you"
Then he pulled out a small velvet box, Emily already knew where this was going
Vic opened it, revealing a 24 karat diamond ring he bought in Mobotropolis the day he visited his friends, he kept it a secret until now.
He dropped on one knee and asked a simple yet fateful question
"Emily, will you marry me?"
Emily was at loss of words, her eyes went wide while processing what her husband just asked her, it was just so sudden
However she couldn't refuse, he was someone with whom she went through heaven and hell
She teared up, a warm smile forming on her face, she even blushed
"Oh Vic…of course I will!"
Hearing his wife's acceptance he stood up and it wasn't long after the ring got on the base of her finger that they were wrapped in each other's arms locked in a deep, passionate kiss
They had an amazing wedding, with many of their friends from Mobotropolis being present. They held it on the same place Vic proposed to her, Vic was dressed in a tuxedo while Emily had a white wedding dress which in Vic's opinion suited her perfectly.
Once again, Vic's friends got drunk on the wedding, with John even mixing Tequilla and Vodka, it resulted in him literally passing out and Darkspine having to make him come back to his senses
Remembering all that made Vic chuckle
"Vic, you okay?"
"Ah…yeah, just spaced out a bit"
"Do you wanna hold him?"
"Sure, hand him over"
Vic took his son from Emily's arms and looked at him
Tobias was born on May 12th, he had brown fur and white skin color like his mother with an exception being his quills that were a darker shade of brown and the tips on his quills which were colored light turquoise.
He had the same azure, spirally eyes like his parents
In doctor's opinion he was the cutest baby he had ever seen, he was a lightning type like both his parents, the doctor noted that therefore his lightning element was stronger than average.
This made things easier for Vic and Emily, they knew that they could train him easily
Back to the present, Vic took his son looked at him, Tobias opened his small blue spirally eyes and smiled at his father. He reached his small hand to reach his father's quills but was unable to, Vic chuckled and pointed a finger at him, which Tobias squeezed with his small hand and laughed.
Vic then put his son on his head and went to the balcony, Emily followed him closely
The balcony was 15 squares wide, Vic came to the edge and put his hands on the handles. He looked at his kingdom proudly, Emily came near him
"You know Emily, I can't put into words how happy I am. Everything is just perfect, we're alive again, we have a son, a family, a bright future. Our kingdom is thriving in life, has a strong civilization and military, I made a strong government. I anyone told me I would live to see all this I wouldn't believe him"
Meanwhile Tobias looked at the kingdom from his father's head and let out a giggle
"Well, it sure didn't fall from the sky. Lord knows how much effort we put in creating this" Emily stated
"How are your parents doing?" Vic asked her
"They really like the kingdom, they also really like you. They said I couldn't have married a better man, they fell in love with Tobias the first time they saw him"
Vic smiled
"Well, I'm glad they they like our winning combination"
The joke caused both Vic and Emily to laugh
Their mood however was interrupted by one of Vic's advisors, he was a black Cykresian with green spirally eyes and short, spiky hair. His name was Oliver, he wore a dark blue jacket and purple jeans.
"Lord Vicious, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Princess Sally Acorn is requesting a meeting here to discuss our agreements"
"All right, call her over"
"Yes my lord" with that Oliver turned and left the office
"Isn't she a queen now?" Emily asked curious
"She was supposed to be but she didn't want that title so she stayed as a princess"
"I see"
Vic reached from above his head and took his son, he put him close to his face and said in a soft tone
"All right son, I will hand you over to your mom now. Daddy needs to go to an important meeting, behave yourself towards her okay?"
Despite not being able to talk yet Tobias laughed at what his father said
Vic smiled
"I will take that as a yes" after Emily took Tobias in her arms Vic made his way downstairs to meet his advisors and wait for Sally
Meanwhile, Eggman was at the Death Egg reading newspapers. He was very surprised to find out that not only Vicious but the entire Cykresian race was brought back from extinction, from what he could remember Vicious died in order to defeat his evil side named Cykreeus.
He recently found out that Cykresians have a close alliance with Mobotropolis, that posed a big problem for him since he wanted to conquer it. He knew how strong Vic was and realized that there was no point in creating a robot that was like him, so he decided to make another approach.
He created a interdimensional portal, with that portal he could summon allies from other dimensions to assist him. He decided now would be the time to test it, he powered it on and the portal created a big green circle in the middle.
Eggman was very happy to see his plan was working, as he was preparing to enter with his Egg Mobile however something unusual started happening. The portal started malfunctioning, it began shooting various sparks as green energy circle faded into red. Eggman was scared now, he became even more scared when the circle started glowing in crimson red color.
A few seconds later it exploded, Eggman managed to activate the shield on his Egg Mobile in order to protect himself. When the dust cleared he managed to see that his portal was surprisingly unharmed and there was now a large burnt area around it
What concerned him even more was something laying on his stomach in front of the portal, he deactivated the shield, exited the Egg Mobile and approached it.
When he came closer he realized it wasn't something but someone
That someone was heavily injured, Eggman came to that conclusion by seeing him all beaten up and bloddy. He had big black fur, a red vest around his back and purple skin, he was still breathing, something he noted when he started spitting blood on the floor.
Eggman wanted to say something but was interrupted the second he saw him lift his face from the ground, revealing he had blood red spirally eyes.
Eggman immediately recognized him
It was Cykreeus
"Please…help….me…" Cykreeus barely managed to speak
"You're…the dark Cykresian who almost killed Vicious correct?"
Eggman stood for a moment, thinking about what he should do. He knew everything that Cykreeus has done, yet he couldn't miss this opportunity. Cykreeus was his best chance of fulfilling his goal for Mobius domination
"Very well, I will but under one condition. You will obey me the moment I heal you" Eggman demanded
"Alright…I will! Just…help me!" Cykreeus begged
Eggman came over, lifted Cykreeus up and laid him down on the surgery table
"Let me get my tools and we can begin"
I know that those chapters were a boring start but from now on it will get more interesting
This was just the prequel for what's yet to come, the main bulk starts from the next chapter. It will be far more action-packed and exciting.
So, as you can see, Eggman brought Cykreeus back from hell. Will Cykreeus honor his promise? Will Eggman benefit from bringing someone like him back? How will that affect the future?
Find out in the next chapter of…The Legend Of Tobias! (DBZ Reference ftw!)
Until then, see ya,
