Somewhere in a village located on Earthland...
A young woman in red clothing was dancing on a stage in a random village. It was late in the evening and music was played as the woman danced along to it. Then suddenly a group of soldiers stormed into the village. The village's residents fought back using their magic, but the soldiers overpowered and executed them. The woman was led away from the village by the chief.
"You must escape, Eclair." The chief insisted.
"And then what?" Eclair questioned. She didn't want to run off and leave him by himself with all those soldiers attacking.
"Protect the Phoenix Stone. It must not fall into the wrong hands." The chief ordered.
After the chief issued the orders, he passed on.
'I will.' Eclair thought as she took off running for her life before she was spotted by any of the soldiers that were attacking.
She kept running due to fear, but eventually collapsed and fell unconscious.
'No matter what happens, I must protect the Phoenix Stone.' Eclair thought.
Back at the village...
The other half of the Phoenix Stone had been retrieved by the soldiers who handed it to their leader. The remainder of the Phoenix Stone was out in the world somewhere and they would be found.
Port Town, Negeura Town...
Team Natsu was in Negeura Town on a job. They had removed it from the request board back at the Fairy Tail guild.
"If we're going to find those creeps, then all we need to do is go up to the top of that hill over there." Lucy pointed.
"You're pretty focused on this job aren't you Lucy?" Gray asked.
"Yeah you bet we've been on a hot streak lately so this will be a piece of cake."
"Oh yeah you ready to take on some bad guys Happy?" Natsu asked.
"Aye!" Happy retorted, answering his best friend confidently.
"So this bandit leader what's his name?" Gray asked.
"The guy I saw on the board is Geese and he's the leader of the bandits. Capturing him will pay off big time." Lucy explained.
"Wow Lucy, you've really got the craziest look on your face when it comes to money." Happy retorted.
"Shut it flea bag!"
"Let's focus on the task at hand everyone. We must not lose our cool on this job." Carla reminded them.
"Right."
"Well what are we waiting for, let's do it to it!" Natsu exclaimed.
Team Natsu looked at him with absolute shock.
"Did that idiot just use Sonic's catchphrase?" Gray asked.
"Unfortunately yes." Erza answered, shaking her head in annoyance.
"It doesn't matter. Let's get this job done." A voice stated. Erza looked around and saw a spiky brown-haired man just up ahead.

Somewhere, in the area of Negura Town…
Team Natsu heads off to hunt the bandit leader name Geese throughout town and head straight to the hill. However, the place looks quiet from where they are and Wendy had noticed it.
"Erza." Wendy said.
"Yes, what is it?" Erza questioned.
"Is it just me or does this town seem to be very quiet all of a sudden?"
"Now that you mention it, there hasn't been a single civilian around these parts."
The group of bandits came out of the buildings and surrounded Team Natsu as they stood their ground ready to fight. The bandits went on the attack while Team Natsu retaliated. They effortlessly held the bandits off. Seeing this would be way too easy, they split up so they could handle a few bandits elsewhere from different areas to pick them off one by one. Team Natsu on the other hand used their magic right away and easily defeat the bandits. Natsu destroyed a few things with his Fire Dragon Slayer magic. Wendy even got a chance to use her Sky Dragon Slayer magic. Gray used his Ice Make magic and freezes the ground causing the bandits to slide down the hill. Natsu then ran into Gray and the two start to fight over not wanting to deal with one of the weakened bandits who screamed for his life, begging them to stop.
"Here you take him." Natsu said.
"Hell no! He's all yours." Gray argued.
"Don't look at me, he was yours to begin with stripper."
"Can it, ash breath."
"Natsu, Gray stop messing around." Ryu demanded. Natsu suddenly dropped down and is seen sliding away from the hill as the ground was covered in ice.
"That's what you get for blasting me. Score one for karma." Happy said.
Lucy summoned Taurus and pound the bandits with the use of his axe and swing it at them to knock them all away. Leo even came to help giving Lucy a hand right after she has summon him for the count. The team continue of fighting off the bandits, demanding and finding where their leader is. Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Carla on a roof and look down to see a bandit is making a run for it. They notice a tattoo on the back with the word: Geese. They had found their target and Lucy is hot on his trail. Geese making a run for it and heads to a nearby alleyway. Lucy follows him there, doing everything she can to stop Geese from escaping. Seeing a dead end, Lucy thought that she got him on the ropes but suddenly, Geese uses his magic to make himself thin like a piece of paper and squeezes through a tight spot in the alleyway and makes his escape losing Lucy on his trail.
"Dang it! He got away, the mayor is so not going to like this and my money..." Lucy whined.
Mayor's Office, Negura Town…
"You mean to tell me that you guys lost Geese? Not just that but you idiots wrecked my beautiful town!?" the mayor asked.
"We're sorry. I'll take full responsibility for all of this." Lucy apologized.
"Geese is still at large. We've round up the other bandits and will put them into custody." Erza informed.
"I don't care about that, I want Geese captured. You guys called yourselves a guild? You're more like a circus acts. A bunch of clowns if you ask me? I knew I should've ask Sonic for help. I know he'll catch Geese in no time with his team. No reward for you." Mayor insulted and turn his backs on Team Natsu.
"I'm sorry you guys." Lucy apologized.
"Hey don't worry about it. We're all in this together." Natsu comforted.
"Yeah we win some and we lose some right pal?" Happy added.
"Don't forget that once we return back to the guild we'll be punished as well as a team." Carla reminded.
"Yeah we know. This is so embarrassing." Wendy said in sadness.
"Speaking of the master, he went to take care of urgent matters." Erza remembered.
"Oh that's right. I wonder what's that all about?" Lucy wondered.
"We'll know once we return back to the guild."
The Magic Council Headquarters…
"There is an unusual amount of energy that has been detected at the mountain region north of Fiore. An investigation has been going underway to determine the source but preliminary reports saying report saying that the blast is strong enough to obliterate two mountain peaks."
"What's more we only believe that this is a small fraction of its power. Our biggest concern is that this power is rival to Zeref." Org added.
"A troubling thought to say the least." Makarov commented.
"That kind of power that can create the world's destruction."
"At any rate, we cannot overlook it. Which is why I precisely summon the guild masters here. We need our best minds working together." Gran Doma announced.
"What of Sonic? Can we try to contact him for this investigation?" a member of the council questioned.
"Sonic is away and no one has seen him ever since. I assume that he's off traveling or he's training. We don't know but we must continue what's at stake here and stop this source of power before it can destroy everything."
"Sonic, wherever you are, we could use your help." Makarov thought.
Outside of the Magic Council…
A collection of the biggest minds and the blowhards if I might say. Listen, think you can handle this?" Makarov asked.
The man smirked and the cat with the wizard nodded. It was none other than Gajeel and Panther Lily. Makarov then felt a powerful presence directly above him and looked towards the sky. A man in chain-mail armor was standing on the roof of the Magic Council building. It was Thor Odinson, Asgardian God of Thunder and one of the founders of the Fairy Tail guild.
He caught wind of the unusual energy and headed off to deal with it before anything bad happened.
"Looks like you won't be handling this by yourselves." Makarov told Gajeel and Panther Lily would be receiving assistance.
Fairy Tail, Magnolia Town…
Team Natsu had arrive back home and the guild is looking lively as ever. Lucy had went back home and would catch up with the rest of the team later.
"Hey Natsu, catch some bad guys?" Macao asked.
"Nope but this one got away along with our reward money." Natsu answered.
"Welcome back Gray, it's has been lonely without you around." Juvia greeted.
"Hey Juvia." Gray responded.
"And that blonde hussy isn't here either."
"You should watch what you say when you're talking to yourself. If you keep this up, you could become lonely and start to get old."
"I'm… I'm not old."
"Hello Cana, is the master here?" Erza asked.
"No but got called to a meeting with the Magic Council." Cana responded.
"I see. I take it that my husband hasn't return home yet?"
"Nope. Not at all, it has been a month since Sonic left the guild. Everyone here is either bored or missed him. Hell I missed that handsome husband of yours a lot."
"Is it because he isn't here to buy you any drinks?"
"What! No that's not it at all!"
"Hello there Kenny, is it great to see you again." Carla greeted.
"Oh hey Carla, how did it go at your job?" Kenny asked pulling Carla into a hug.
"It was terrible. Apparently the bandit leader had gotten away and he's still at large. Plus we didn't get the reward money as well."
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Better luck next time, right?"
"Yes. Have you contacted Sonic?"
"No. I haven't heard from him. It's been a whole month since Sonic left."
"Yes. Ever since Sonic has been gone, the guild isn't the same with our blue hedgehog. Wendy misses him greatly, including Erza. Also, Cana has been drinking her sorrows wishing Sonic to come back right now. And Lucy who happens to missed Sonic so much."
"Even Mirajane. I can tell knowingly they hide it by smiling but deep down, they really miss him. Elfman even thought if Sonic were ever going to comeback. I try to ask Sonic if I can join him but he decided to go on his own. I guess this is a way of Sonic to have some alone time for himself."
"It appears to be. Wendy prayed for Sonic's safety while he's out there. I can tell that Wendy really misses her father. After all, she looks up to Sonic."
"I just hope that everything is ok."
"Yeah. Me too."
Elsewhere, in Magnolia Town…
Lucy is on her way to her apartment after failing the job to capture Geese.
"I can't believe I didn't get any money… I can't mope around. I'll just have to try harder next time. Something Sonic would always say. I hope he's back today, I can really use some encouragement to help me brighten my day." Lucy said.
Lucy continue to her path to her apartment until she sees a woman with a bird by her side. She appears to be an average height with amber-colored eyes. She has moderately brown hair which extends down her back and is normally tied up at the back while her forehead is framed by several bangs. Her outfit is reminiscent of the traditional Indian sari designed with a primarily scarlet color scheme while framed around the side with a yellow, white and orange pattern-like design and a white choli worn underneath. Éclair's body is adorned with jewelry such as golden bangles worn around the wrists of both her both arms, gold brassards worn on the middle of both her upper arms as well as gold anklets worn above her ankles and brown sandals.
The woman suddenly collapse to the ground and looked to be exhausted.
"Éclair!" the bird cried.
"Are you alright?" Lucy asked.
"Please help Éclair, I beg of you."
Somewhere, in Era…
"So Sonic still hasn't return back home yet?" Spiral asked sipping his drink with Makarov in a local bar.
"No. He's been gone for a whole month now. The guild had missed him ever since." Makarov responded.
"Yeah that's Sonic for you. He always goes out and travel. He usually does anyways. Is Kenny with him?"
"No. Sonic left by himself."
"That's a surprise. I guess Sonic just wants some time alone while he's doing whatever he is. I'm sure everything is fine."
"We kind of need his help with this threat."
"I take it that you were at a meeting witht eh Magic Council?"
"Yes. The other guild masters participate and there has been an unusual energy has been detected. I fear that it is rivaled to Zeref."
"Get out? Are you serious?"
"Yes and the Magic Council are still on the investigation. I also had Gajeel and Pantherlily to go and investigate to tell me what's going on. There investigating as we speak."
"I can help if you like?"
"No. It'll be too risky but thank you for the generous offer."
"No problem. If this is serious then we're going to need Sonic's help for this one. Do you know who can be responsible?"
"No but I'm bound to find out soon enough."
"Let me know, I'm concern about this too. So how is Erza and the others doing?"
"They're good but I can sense that Erza misses her husband dearly. Even Wendy really misses her father."
"Like what you said it has been a month and I know Kenny misses him a lot right?"
"Yes. But he's not alone, Carla is always there with him for some support. Kenny hasn't even made contact with Sonic for the past few days."
"Looks like Sonic must've been busy with something. Anyways, I hope he can come back home soon."
"Me too Spiral, me too."
Principality of Veronica…
"Now it's actually quite simple. If I'm going to be taking my family prized possession the Phoenix Stone and then reunited with its long missing twin something extraordinary will happen. Now it seems that the twin is been found in the hands of some common girl, my Principality of Veronica will soon to celebrate four hundred years of existence and my wish is to put these sacred stones together in the ceremony and dazzle my adoring subjects with the spectacle to follow what better way to display the power before their very eyes." Prince Cream said.
"We would be gladly aid you on this subject. How can we do that?" Dyst asked.
"You have but one task. I only ask your Carbuncle guild, take the stone from the lowly wretch and bring it to me. You'll be rewarded handsomely. See that our four hundred anniversary is a success and you'll get 400 million."
"Consider it done."
Bar Rhizome, Veronica…
"Four hundred seem to be a lot of money." Cannon said.
"Yes indeed. All of that only to snatch a stone from a girl. Apparently the child has far more money than a common sense." Coordinator retorted.
"I'll take some of it off his hands right now."
"Go Chase." Dyst ordered as the masked companion known as Chase head to find the girl.
"The Phoenix Stone… we are both the glittering garden jewel and the creature that lurks in the shadows and with this is sudden we will be considerably richer." Dyst said using his magic lift up his drink.
Cannon and Coordinator made a toast with Dyst. Unaware, Gajeel and Pantherlily had eavesdrop their conversation and listen to what they're saying.
Back with Fairy Tail…
Éclair who happen to be eaten a meal with her bird friend alongside her.
"I found her collapse while I was on my way back home." Lucy said.
"That's how you found her?" Elfman asked.
"Yeah."
Mirajane walks over and hands Éclair something to drink.
"Thank you." Éclair thanked.
"You're welcome." Mirajane retorted.
"Hi there, it's good to see that you're still fine." Lucy said.
"Thank you for the meal but I would be fine with or without a meal." Éclair remarked.
This take the entire guild by surprise of Éclair's remarks.
"Now now Éclair, you know better than that. I'm sorry she is grateful of your help and providing us food. I'm Momon and this here is my friend Éclair." Momon introduced.
"Please to meet you, I'm Lucy."
Lucy shake hands with Momon and extended her hand to Éclair which Éclair refused and remain silent for the time being.
"I'm Natsu and I'm a Dragon Slayer."
"You're very kind. Come along Momon." Éclair said showing her gratitude to the guild.
Éclair got up and grab her belongings and prepare to make her departure. Suddenly, Carla then begin to have a premonition as she saw a beast attacking in the forest.
"Wait! I just saw a premonition." Carla said.
"Premonition?" Éclair repeated.
"There is sadness awaits you in your path. You're heading to a forest."
"Forest… wait… the Boundary Forest. That's right. Deep within the Boundary Forest."
"I don't think you wanna go there." Happy warned.
Éclair ignored the exceed and makes her departure. Momon follows Éclair out of the guild and head straight to the forest where her answers lies there. Lucy caught up to Éclair and stopped her.
"Wait a second, where are you going?" Lucy asked.
"The boundary forest." Éclair responded.
"That place is super dangerous." Happy warned.
"I don't care. I'm still going there."
"Why?"
"I don't know. It's calling to me."
"Fine then we'll go along to keep you safe. We are wizards after all."
"I'm not very fond with magic."
"Now be nice." Momon suggested.
"Magic only brings nothing but sorrow."
"You think it brings sorrow? Anyways, I'm still coming and you'll see magic will bring joy." Lucy questioned.
"Yeah. I'm sure you'll love it once you seen it." Natsu added.
"We shall accompany you as well." Erza exclaimed.
"Why not? We got nothing else to do." Gray said as he, Wendy, Carla, and even Kenny tag along.
"Yeah. I'm pretty much bored around these parts. My best friend is still out there traveling." Kenny shrugged.
"Well… at least we'll have company." Momon said.
Éclair remain silent and eventually accepts their help to come to the Boundary Forest.
Meanwhile, the temple ruins…
*BGM: Disturbed – What Are You Waiting For*
Around in the ruined temples, there is a fight going on and there has been a few destruction from the ruckus. There is been some loud explosion which is being heard nearby. Suddenly, somehow had crashed through a wall creating a hole during the crash. The person then backflips and lands back on its feet wearing a brown tattered cloak. Two figures in black then charge at the person appearing to be mobians. One is a female red eagle with a body build figure and possess the flame power within her hands and start to throw a punch at the cloaked figure. The figure dodge the eagle's melee strikes and counters her off with a flash kick up against her chin, hitting her beak that made the eagle to stumble backwards.
Another attacker who is a female red hawk who also uses fire power, she wields two katanas within her grasp and swing at the cloaked figure and attacking the adventurer. The figure dodge the blades, evading every fire attack from the hawk as she kept attacking. The figure dodges away again then deliver an uppercut and a kick to the face sending the hawk flying. The hawk back flip and lands on her feet perfectly after recovering from a fatal kick. The eagle then charge at the cloak figure from behind and start to slam down her fist at Sonic but ended up hitting the ground which cause a dent with a few cracks to the ground. The figure even backflip and lands on its feet then senses an incoming attack as a fire wave is being sent to the figure with a slash that shot a shockwave of fire from the hawk with the use of her fire katanas. The figure even gets out of dodge in great speed then senses the eagle coming at him and so the figure jump onto the eagle on her chest and launches himself off kicking the eagle away and hurls himself over to the hawk and bashes her with his ability by using a boost to knock the hawk out of his way and he lands back down.
The hood slowly came down, revealing to be Sonic the Hedgehog who is been attack by two unfamiliar foes who he came across and they started attacking. Sonic then look and sees the eagle that stood seven feet tall and cracking her fist. The hawk spin her katanas and get to her stance and she stood almost six feet tall and standing next to eagle.
"Wow… you ladies sure can't give a guy a break can you? I would be interested in one of ya but I'm happily married." Sonic remarked.
"Don't worry, we'll send your wife our regards when you're in a casket." The eagle said charging at the blue blur.
Sonic curls himself into a ball and shot a shockwave hitting the eagle and sends her backwards and she crashes through a wall. The hawk launches up in the air and swing her katanas down at Sonic but he dodges it with the use of his reflexes. The hawk even continue swinging and try slashing her katanas at the blue blur but ends up kicking Sonic a feet away and shot move fire waves at him. Sonic rolls out of the wall then curls himself into a ball and strikes the hawk with his homing attack. The eagle burst through the rubble and shoulder bashes Sonic sending him crashing through another wall and sends him out of the ruined temple and hits the ground on his back. The eagle burst through the wall with a battle cry and charges at Sonic.
Before the hedgehog can get out of the way but he is too late when the eagle grabs Sonic and jumps up in the air and slams him down to the ground with brute force then start pummeling the true blue showing more of her intense strength. Sonic suddenly transform into Ice Sonic then blasts the eagle away with an ice beam and sends her crashing towards a tree and causing it to break and collapse to the ground. The eagle notice this so she picks up the broken tree and swing it at Sonic. Sonic grabs the tree and swings himself and grinds on the ground and hurls himself at the eagle. Sonic curls himself into a ball yet again and ice spin dashes the eagle to the ground and just about to deliver a beatdown to return the favor from before.
Sonic start punching the eagle several times in rapid speed, giving her a piece of his mind throughout this little beatdown. That came to an end when the hawk hit Sonic with a flying kick then charge at the true blue and begin to slash the hedgehog with her weapons. Sonic then blasts a shockwave of ice from his body sending the hawk backwards and away so that he can regroup. The eagle comes in and delivers a punch but Sonic blocks it off, crouching down and knocks her off of her feet ad cause her to collapse back down. The hawk launches herself to Sonic and readied her katanas, Sonic smirked and engulfs ice around his fist waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Once the hawk is close enough, Sonic then uppercuts her up in the air wing his Ice Sho-Hog-Ken sending the weapon wielder flying two feet away and hits the tree on her back. The eagle got back up and charge at Sonic but Sonic back flip over her and flash kick, doing a somersault and shot an ice shockwave and struck the eagle with the shockwave and knocks on one knee. Sonic then transforms into Volt Sonic and buildings up some lightning and tosses a lightning ball at the eagle and traps her in a ball and starts to electrocute her with a new technique called Lightning Cage. Sonic then uses his lightning in great speed when the hawk charge at the hedgehog hero and swings her katanas. Sonic roundhouse kick right to the face sending 70,000 volts and she is seen flying and hits the eagle and is caught in the lightning cage and is being electrocuted. Sonic then transforms into Rock Sonic and starts to form some rocks around the area and creates a boulder.
"Rock Cannonball!" Sonic shouted.
Sonic pushes the boulder over at the two attackers and struck them and the rock boulder explode like a bomb and sends the two attack a few feet away and out of sight. Sonic revert back to normal and smile at his victory over the two attackers.
"I don't know why they attack me or someone must've hired them to eliminate me. Oh well, at least that's taken care of." Sonic said.
The true blue put his hood back on and be on his way and exiting the area at once.
The two attackers who were defeated by the hands of Sonic. They start to regroup after getting their asses kicked. They would go after Sonic and prevent him from leaving until suddenly, a female voice is being heard that stop them from proceed.
"Amelie, Winter stand down." The voiced ordered.
The eagle and the hawk stop and turn to face their leader. The figure appears to be a red phoenix also wearing black with a phoenix insignia on her back. She wore a black tube top with the insignia on its back along with tight black cargo pants. She also wore a pair of heeled black combat boots to match her outfit plus she has a pair of black fingerless gloves with spikes. She even has tribal tattoo markings on her body and arms and has black nail polish on her nails. The phoenix's eye color are dark green.
The phoenix then look to eagle who wore a black tank top along with black cargo pants. She even wore black combat boots and shows her muscle figure. She also has tribal tattoo design on her arms and has brown eyes. She also wear a pair of black fingerless gloves and has a pair of goggles onto her forehead.
The hawk wears a black long sleeve crop top, a pair of black camouflage leggings, and black combat boots. She too has tribal tattoos on her body and on her arms. She also has a pair of goggles with black lenses and has kunais onto her right leg and thigh. She also has a hooded cowl.
The hawk and the eagle knee down as the phoenix makes her appearance and stand before her subordinates.
"Mistress Charlotte, we have failed you." The hawk said taking full responsibility of her actions.
"It's alright Winter, I'm sure we'll get him next time." Charlotte retorted.
"We have never seen someone like him possess great power. We heard the stories but we never knew he can be this good." The eagle said.
"I know, Amelie. Which is why we were hired by Prince Cream to eliminate the problem if he would ever come across to stop the celebration at Veronica. After all, we are the Firebirds and we're the group of assassins hired to kill our target. Sonic may have gotten away but we'll catch up soon enough."
"What do you want us do? Should we go after Sonic, mistress?" Winter asked.
"No. We let him go… for now. Then we can try again. Besides, we got some other contracts we need to fulfill so let's get out of here."
Winter and Amelie nodded and with that, the Firebirds take their departure and leave letting Sonic go until they can try again in another time.
On a Train…
Team Natsu along with Éclair and Momon are headed to a city called Rose Garden. Natsu trying to endure his motion sickness with Gray not wanting Natsu to vomit on his shoes. Éclair just look out through the window remaining silent and to enjoy the ride until they reach their destination. Kenny who still trying to contact his best friend but hasn't reached Sonic.
"So Éclair where do you come from originally?" Lucy asked.
"I honestly don't know. I don't have any clear memories of it." Éclair responded.
"Do you have amnesia? Is that why you can't remember any of it?"
"Perhaps that's the answer. The odd thing is what I do remember is that I have never cared much about wizards. Especially the nosy kind."
Lucy begin to pout and looked away.
"Hey shame on you. Also she lacks of social to anyone, she's a good person at heart. Please forgive her rudeness." Momon apologized.
"Pointless chatter." Éclair blurted.
"Yeah she's great." Lucy retorted sarcastically.
Wendy look to Kenny and hasn't gotten in touch with Sonic.
"Still trying to get in touch with Sonic?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah. Hopefully I can try to speak to him but I can't reach him. I think he must've cut off his communicator or he's busy with who knows what." Kenny responded.
"Who is Sonic?" Momon asked.
"You never heard of Sonic the Hedgehog?" Happy asked.
"No. Me and Éclair haven't heard of him. We just been traveling around lately."
"Oh that's right."
"I'm a little curious who is Sonic the Hedgehog anyway? Is he wizard like you?" Éclair asked.
"Oh no, he's not a wizard but he's a hero and an adventurer." Lucy answered lovingly about her huge crush.
"He has saved the world countless times and he's well known of his battles against Darkness and Mephiles." Wendy added.
"Whoa. Seems like a great guy." Momon said.
"He's not just great, he's awesome and he always like to help." Gray said.
"That's right. There was that one story that Sonic told us. He saved a world by piecing it back together and had defeat many creatures around the world. He use to turned into a werehog during night time and still fight off those creatures despite what the people say to him and never recognize him. Sonic also has the habit of not giving up, he always keeps his promises and will fight to the bitter end." Erza explained.
"Even in tougher situations, he never gives up?" Momon asked.
"Correct. He inspired us to hope, he inspired us to light a fire in our bodies and he inspired us to never give up. There were times that I would give up but my will, my heart tells me not to all because of Sonic. He saved me a couple of times before and I will never forget that. That shows you how a true hero Sonic really is." Lucy retorted.
"Wow. I want to meet that guy."
"So where is this Sonic the Hedgehog guy?" Éclair asked.
"He's out adventuring, traveling around the world. He always does that." Kenny explained.
"That's Sonic's way of adventuring, he likes to run. Speaking of run, he is the world's fastest hedgehog." Carla added.
"He's been gone from the guild for a month now and we haven't from him since." Lucy added.
"I hope I can see Sonic again. I miss him so much." Wendy hoped.
"Me too, it has been quiet without Sonic around." Lucy frowned.
"It looks like you're very close to Sonic." Momon noticed.
"Yeah. He's my dad, Erza and Sonic adopted me as their daughter." Wendy said with a smile.
"You're Sonic's daughter?"
"Yeah and I'm Erza's daughter as well. She's Sonic's wife."
"Wow you're married to the hero?"
"Yes. I remember that day he proposed to me and got married on the spot." Erza responded.
"It was a beautiful wedding too." Wendy added.
"I see. Well I would like to say congratulations knowing you guys already got married." Éclair congratulated.
"Thank you."
"And you got to be so lucky to be married to a hero like Sonic." Momon said.
"As matter of fact I am."
"I wish I was lucky to be Sonic's wife." Lucy thought as she pouted and look away.
The team had arrive to Rose Garden minutes later. Once they had arrived, they then start to explore and have some free time for themselves. Natsu and Happy went to a restaurant and chow down to get some grub. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough money to pay for their bill and went on to work to pay off the bill. Erza explore and check out a few stores for some new armor or outfit. None had caught her interest but came across a wedding dress. The titania decided to get the wedding dress and add it to her collection for the dresses. Lucy and Éclair hangout and explore trying to be nice to Éclair but she just remain distant from the blonde celestial wizard and Momon follow around still remain Éclair's side. Wendy and Carla also explore around and head to an amusement park to have some fun. The sky dragon slayer even catch a show and is amused by their performance. Wendy even wished that her father, her idol and hero is here to spend time with her and enjoy the amusement park together but she has Carla and that always makes her happy. Wendy even spotted Erza purchasing a wedding dress to her collection. Gray went on and explore around the town. He had no clothes on except for his boxers until he got complains from the civilian and they arrested the ice wizard and taking him into questioning.
Kenny had free time and explore around town. He had check out a few stores and got some interesting equipment back home to his little lab to use for some new equipment and inventions he had thought about making. The blue exceed missed Sonic's company, wishing Sonic is here to explore around the town with him and see how beautiful this town really is. The genius locate a view and admire it and sat back, relax and enjoy the view from where he is. Noticing that he hasn't talk to this person for a while, Kenny then start to make contact with someone who is also a member of Team Sonic and that is the Wind Dragon slayer: Spiral the Hedgehog. Spiral accept the call and start to communicate with Kenny.
"Kenny, is that you?" Spiral asked.
"Yeah. Hey Spiral, how's it going?" Kenny asked.
"Great. Just at a bar after the day I had. My cousin is still out adventuring?"
"Yeah. You know Sonic."
"I don't know why he wouldn't take you with him."
"I wonder about that too but I'm not mad about it. He just want some time alone and I completely understand."
"Don't we all. So what are you doing right now?"
"I'm at Rose Garden with Team Natsu. We're escorting a girl who is heading off to the Boundary Forest. She said there is something that she wants to go check out."
"Boundary Forest. I heard about that place. It's overrun by vicious beasts."
"I know so we all wanted to help escort her there. I wonder what's so special about the Boundary Forest anyway."
"I'm sure you'll find out once you guys get there. Anyways, I better get back to work. If Sonic gets back, tell him I said hi and give me a call."
"Will do and talk to you later."
Kenny ended the call and continues to admire the view of the town.
As time pass by, the team all head to a hotel and got themselves a room for the night. Lucy and Éclair sharing a room, Wendy, Carla, and Erza has the second room together and Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Kenny have the third room together and settled in for the night. Lucy went to take a shower and to feel comfortable for the night. The blonde thought about Éclair and why she's so distant and so rude to everyone.
"What's up with Éclair? Why she is so cold to anyone even me. What's really eating her?" Lucy thought.
The blonde continue to wash up, getting cleaned up for the night. Lucy even take her mind off of Éclair and thought about the true blue, her crush wondering what's he doing and how is he doing during his travels.
"Sonic… I hope you can come back home soon. We miss you. I miss you. I know you're having an incredible journey and I hope you're ok." Lucy thought.
After finishing up, Lucy exits the tub and exits the bathroom. She joins with Éclair and Momon as Éclair looking out the window.
"Hey I'm done with the bathroom. If you like you can use it if you like." Lucy informed.
"Éclair…" Momon trailed off.
Éclair look out at the window, staring at the view of the town.
"Éclair…" Momon called.
Éclair look behind Lucy and Momon but mainly Lucy.
"Is something wrong?" Lucy asked.
"About Sonic the Hedgehog, can you tell me more about him?" Éclair asked.
"Uh… sure. Let's see, Sonic always likes to travel. He's very skilled of fighting and he even plays a guitar. Plus he does a lot of extreme stunts like grinding on rails, jumping off higher cliffs, riding on this cool hoverboard that he invented back home, he is one hell of a dancer. In case you're wondering, Sonic is a break dancer."
"I see. You mentioned he has defeated a lot of bad guys including monsters. Has he ever defeat a gigantic monster before?"
"Now that you mentioned it, yeah he did. He defeated Dark Gaia and she was gigantic. He had help with a friend name Chip who is Light Gaia to defeat her. He even defeated the gigantic water monster name Chaos and saved everyone and the world. There's plenty of stories that Sonic has during his past adventures."
"Whoa. Sonic really did that? No wonder he's the big shot hero." Momon said.
"He is. He's an awesome guy and every girl has the hots for him."
"I guess being a celebrity does have its quirks right. Fame, fortune, and popularity."
"He doesn't care about that. He just loves helping people."
"Where do you think Momon and I could meet this guy that you wizards kept talking about?" Éclair asked.
"Well I'm not sure and I hope he can come home. Everyone at the guild really miss him even Magnolia. He always bring a smile to everyone whenever he's around. Let me tell you, Sonic always shows up on his own terms when everyone is in danger. That's just Sonic's style."
Éclair nodded and look away. Éclair notice something and sees a picture of Lucy with someone smiling. Lucy notice this and reach over to pick it up.
"Oh you're looking at a picture of me and Sonic. Here take a look." Lucy said handing Éclair the picture.
Éclair takes the picture and looks at it seeing Lucy smiling in the picture with Sonic crossing his arms and gave out his signature smile.
"So that's Sonic?" Momon asked.
"Yeah. I took that picture when I went out on a job with him. He fought a few bandits and earn quite bit of cash. I took that picture as a celebration. Whenever Sonic is not here or out there traveling, I just look at the picture and think about him." Lucy explained.
"You really do like Sonic do you?"
"Yeah. I have a big time crush on him ever since I laid my eyes on Sonic. He has helped many people and he never backs down on his word. That's what I love about it."
"I'll admit, Sonic is handsome. In his heroic ways that is." Éclair admitted.
"He sure is isn't he? Still, I should've made my move and I would be the wife of Sonic the Hedgehog."
Éclair shakes her head and look away with Momon sitting beside her. Éclair continue to look out the window and watch the view of the town.
Sooner or later, the lights turned off and it was dark in the room. Wondering what's going on, they are approached by a masked wizard using some kind of shadow magic intervening the conversation. They spotted a man who's face is hidden behind a white mask with black eyeholes and red lines above the eyes. He wears a dark gray hooded cloak which is fastened just below the collar and hides most of his body. Under the lower half of his cloak, he wears gray trousers and boots.
Lucy, Éclair, and Momon backed away, remain cautious of the infiltrator.
"Hand over the girl." Chase demanded.
"Éclair, run!" Lucy demanded.
Éclair takes off and heats out to the balcony with Momon follow behind. Lucy joins with Éclair and calls out Natsu shouting his name. Natsu and the boys heard Lucy scream, the group try to find out what's going on as Lucy with Éclair and Momon taking off and leaving trying to help Éclair to get her to safety and away from Chase. However, Chase can be anywhere and he had followed Lucy and the two in pursuit realizing that he's after Éclair. The girls and the bird kept running until the masked wizard toss some throwing knives at them which causes them to fall over the edge and bounces from the cover and hits the ground. Chase draws out his blade and charges at the two girls until Natsu and Gray arrive.
Chase landed down and takes off with Natsu and Gray are hot on his tail. They cut through the alleyway with Natsu starts to attack but Chase fought back by drawing out his claws and dodges Natsu before he can take off and head up to the rooftop. Gray creates ice like pillars and he and Natsu goes after the masked wizard. Once they arrive up top of the roof, they stood before Chase. Noticing the symbol of the guild, Chase recognize the guild's name.
"You're going to wish you kept on running." Natsu warned.
"Hmm… Fairy Tail is it?" Chase assumed.
Chase begin using his magic and teleported away into the shadows with Natsu and Gray look down at the ground before they can stop him. They then hurried over to check to see if Lucy and Éclair are ok.
"Did that jog any of your memory?" Lucy asked.
Éclair could only do is shook her head and doesn't remember a thing. Not yet. Natsu and Gray regroup with them to see if they're ok. Lucy who stood up to let them know that someone who is after Éclair.
"Guys, someone is after Éclair. We got to find out why." Lucy stated.
Kenny look away and cover his eyes. Natsu and Gray look in awe which Lucy wondered until Happy told her the reason why and she found out that she's naked and quickly cover herself.
"I'm glad that I cover my eyes or else Carla would've killed me. I think I'm just going to go back to the hotel now." Kenny said before turning away.
The blue and red exceed can hear Lucy freaking out and yelling at Natsu and Gray to not stare at her while she's naked.
"I can't believe this is happening to me. This is so embarrassing. Although, if Sonic were here he could anytime he likes. Crap, now is not the time to think about him!" Lucy thought blushing madly about the true blue.
Kenny headed back to the hotel along with the others. The team also join together to find out about why Chase is after her.
"So why was that guy after you anyway?" Natsu asked.
"I am not sure but I believe this is what he's after." Éclair said presenting them the half of the Phoenix Stone.
"That's what he's after?" Gray asked.
"I can sense some unimaginable power emulating from it." Carla sensed.
"Yes. I don't know why but I must find out. That is the reason why I have to go to the Boundary Forest to get some answers."
"Who is this Kellard that you mentioned?" Erza asked.
"I'm not sure but my memories, these flashbacks, and these images are piecing together one by one. I have to go to the Boundary Forest. It's calling to me."
"I see. Hopefully we can find the answers you're looking for." Kenny hoped.
"Yes. Me too."
Kenny excused himself for a moment letting everyone to it and he decided to head to the rooftop to clear his mind and think.
"That stone… it looked awfully familiar. I'll find out about it later but right now I'm going to get some shut eye. But first, some fresh air should help me clear my head. Sonic, wherever you are please come back home." Kenny thought.
The Castle, Veronica…
"So you guys couldn't stop Sonic?" Prince Cream asked as he address to Charlotte, Winter, and Amelie known as the Firebirds.
"Sonic has proven to be the strongest of the wizards. Knowing he's not a wizard but a powerful fighter." Charlotte reported.
"I hired you three because you're the expert in assassination and you three let Sonic get away. How is this possible?"
"We've told you, he's powerful but don't worry we'll find him."
"I hope you girls do. I'm rewarding you handsomely for eliminating Sonic. I cannot allow him to ruin the 400 year anniversary."
"Consider it done, sir. We'll find Sonic and kill him. He won't be a problem."
With the conversation is over, the Firebirds left and leave the Prince to his duties. They then wlk through the hallways talking about what happen back there.
"Mistress, what's our next step? Should we find Sonic immediately?" Winter asked.
"No. At least not yet, we wait until Sonic comes back to Fairy Tail." Charlotte stated.
"How would you know he'll be coming home?" Amelie questioned.
"We'll know besides we all can sense his energy if not his fire energy. He does have a fire form and we can sense it right on the spot. After all we possess the magic of fire so it won't be a problem."
"Right. I forgot about that."
"I don't suppose you have a plan to attack?" Winter asked.
"Yes but we all have different plans. Prince Cream said something about the Phoenix Stone. I heard it will grant you great power. If we obtain it, we can become the goddesses of fire and nothing will stand in our way." Charlotte explained.
"It can do that?"
"Yes. It's the reason why we are hired for this job. So we should just sit back and wait for the perfect moment and when that time comes we kill Sonic and obtain the power of the Phoenix Stone. This should exciting."
The Following Day…
The team had ventured to the Boundary Forest and fought the monsters along the way. They couldn't help but to encounter many beasts and Team Natsu doing everything in their power to fight and reach their destination and to keep Éclair safe. A giant fish then appear from the water and Lucy begin to summon Aquarius and knocks away the fish and is looking angry and glares at Lucy.
"You sure pull out of some ridiculous situations but this one takes the cake. Second, where is Sonic? I haven't seen him for a while?" Aquarius wondered.
"He's not here. He's still traveling." Lucy informed.
"Damn. Here I thought I would see him and give him some TLC. He always makes me happy when he's around."
"Everyone okay?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah. Very peachy." Lucy responded.
The gang continue on and one until they reach their destination, they pass through the barrier that forces the beasts to stay out. When they arrive they see the remains of Kallard's house. Éclair rushes over to find out what's going on. Éclair start to look around and only to see a secret passage that leads to the basement. Curiosity got to her so Éclair heads down there with Team Natsu and Kenny following behind. The only see a table and some books around and no one isn't here. Also there is some stuff on the shelves.
"There it goes again, man I knew I should've made my move when I had the chance." Lucy thought.
Meanwhile, around the cliff of an unknown place…
Sonic is seen sitting on the edge of the cliff and looking at the view. Sonic is eating a chilidog and listening to some music for his free time. Admiring the view from where he is at, Sonic begin to think about his friends and family back at the guild in Magnolia. He admitted that he sure miss them while he's out traveling and training.
"Man… it's been a whole month since I left. I just went out to train and to travel around. Been a while since I travel alone. I know that Fairy Tail miss me and… Erza and Wendy and Kenny. Man they really do miss me. Well, since I think I had enough traveling and training, time to come home. I'm sure the guild is not having a lot fun when I'm not around." Sonic said.
Finishing up his snack, Sonic jump up on is feet and stretch his legs out. Admiring the view one last time, Sonic then grabbed his one strap backpack and began to head straight back home to Fiore and back to Magnolia Town.
"Maybe I can help." Sonic wasn't sure where the voice was coming from but decided to look up.
"You're..." His eyes widened in shock.
Fairy Tail, Magnolia Town…
"So do you think we'll get a chance to see Sonic here today? Will he come back?" Momon asked.
"I'm not sure. Kenny still hasn't got in touch with Sonic." Erza responded.
"Yeah… I try talking to Sonic last night but still hasn't responded to me. I guess he's still traveling." Kenny shrugged.
"Whatever this stone is it sure got some powerful in it. I can feel it." Macao said examining the stone.
"Yes. It's my job to dispel its magic before things could get any worse." Éclair stated.
"If Sonic were here, he knew what to do."
*BGM: Fairy Tail – Carbuncle's Attack (Fairy Tail: Phoenix Preistess OST)*
It has been a moment of silence for the guild but the silence is soon to be interrupted when summon fired the cannons that destroyed the guild catching every wizard off guard and wrecked the place. The guild then see the three attackers who have arrived to complete their job that anger everyone. There they've spotted a man that has long, unkempt turquoise hair and narrow eyes with small irises and pupils. He wears a black coat and mantle with silver highlights, white boots and white gloves. The edges of his coat and mantle have large triangular edges.
To his right is a woman with a long wavy blonde hair which comes down to her waist. She wears red lipstick, earrings and a light blue hair band. There is a feather-like decoration on the left side of her headband with a round blue gem surrounded by a white spiral. Her attire includes a light blue band with an emblem on it around her upper chest as well as gray arm bands and blue bracelets on each arm. She wears a set of large gray faulds around her waist, open at the front and extending down just past knee level, a black belt fastening the faulds around her waist and thigh-high leg armor.
And on the left is a tall, muscular man with slightly brown skin. He has brown hair, straightened up and flattened on top, sideburns and a beard. He wears a dark green sleeveless shirt and brown trousers with a black belt. He also wears dark red armor on his left arm, from his wrist up to his shoulder, and a dark red fingerless glove on his left hand.
"Who the hell are you?" Natsu demanded.
"We are known as Carbuncle. The garnet adorn beast that's forever lurking in the shadows and you may call me Dyst!" Dyst responded as he levitate the pieces of rubble with his telekinesis magic and hurls them over at the fire dragon slayer.
Natsu gets caught in the wildfire and the rubble pinning him down. Cannon then aims his cannon right towards Gray.
"Hey pretty boy, he just got a hot date with my cannons." Cannon taunted.
"Say what!" Gray shouted.
"Is this my new love rival for my darling Gray?" Juvia thought.
"We will never win the heart of my beloved so don't even try." Juvia warned.
"Wait what? You got the wrong idea, lady." Cannon countered.
"Liar!"
Juvia begin to blast water towards Cannon but Cannon begin to shoot three bullets from his gun.
"Those bullets won't hurt me. I am water." Juvia thought.
Suddenly, those bullets hit her realizing that they're magic bullets. Cannon summon more guns and start firing at the water wizard and Gray knocking them backwards. Alzack and Bisca begin to shoot with their gun magic having a little shoot out. Elfman and Mirajane use their takeover magic to fight them off.
"Here comes a real man!" Elfman shouted.
Coordinator steps in and start to dispel them of their magic, making them vulnerable to the cause. Cannon then shoot and blast them away.
A pitiful excuses for takeovers." Coordinator boasted.
"Lucy, keep Éclair safe." Erza ordered.
"You can count on me." Lucy responded.
Erza began to transform into her Black Wing Armor to attack. Seeing the titania up, Coordinator extended her hand and dispels Erza's armor, returning her into a blouse and skirt.
"It appears the Titania knows her place to kneel before the Coordinator." Coordinator taunted.
Coordinator began to use her Requip magic. She changes into her Melee Armor and the color of it is primarily purple with white clothing underneath. The armor mainly consists of a breastplate which is open in the middle, pair of gauntlets, an open white skirt with purple trimming, a gray belt with a brown buckle, and leg armor. Underneath the armor, Coordinator wears a white band around her upper chest with her guild's emblem on it and white leggings. She also wears a white headband with a pair of wing-like decorations.
"So you have Dispel magic, huh?" A figure in a matador uniform asked, stepping forward after getting up from a stool at the bar.
"Let's see you try and cancel this transformation. Knight Rebirth!" He pulled a sword out of it's holster and raised it into the air, inducing a explosion. When it died down, he was covered in black armor.
"Black Knight, Hyuuga!" The Black Knight slid Bull Riot against his armor.
"Too easy." Coordinator extended her hand again. But nothing happened.
"What gives? You should have been reverted back to your unarmored form." She was confused.
"That's just it. This isn't powered by magic." Hyuuga explained that his transformation required no magic.
'Not powered by magic. Dispel is useless against him.' Coordinator thought in shock.
Hyuuga then seized the opportunity and slashed at Coordinator with Bull Riot.
"There she is." Dyst spotted and uses his magic.
Dyst's magic begin to lift Lucy and Momon out of the way and even Wendy, Cana, and Droy and slams them away. Chase then appears using his shadow magic and collects the woman and regroups with the other members of Carbuncle.
"We got what we came here. Let's go." Dyst ordered with a smirk.
They were about to leave when someone tapped Dyst on the shoulder, getting their attention. Turning around to see who had tapped him on the shoulder, he was punched across the guild hall.
"I'm sorry, did we ruin your attempt to escape." Thor said sarcastically while spinning his hammer Mjolnir around.
"Thor, what are you doing here?" The rest of the guild asked the Thunder God why he had intervened.
"I was returning to Fairy Tail after investigating a unusual energy on the northern part of the continent. And I didn't come back alone."
A blue blur then slammed into Cannon and Coordinator.
"Is that?" Wendy asked, as a smile formed on her face. Erza and Lucy also smiled.
"You guys are having without me, what kind of game is that?" Sonic asked.
"SONIC!" Fairy Tail shouted.
"Daddy…" Wendy stammered.
"Sonic, you're back…" Erza trailed off.
"Thank goodness you're here Sonic." Lucy said shedding tears from her eyes.
"That's Sonic?" Momon asked.
"Yeah. He's back and he's about to kick some ass." Kenny corrected.
"Y-You're Sonic the Hedgehog. I have the stories about you." Éclair said.
"And you must be Éclair. I overheard everyone's conversation since I have enhance hearing. It's pleasure to meet you and I never knew you would be this beautiful." Sonic compliment making Éclair smile.
"Oh… well, thank you. It's good to hear that from the hero such as your savior."
"Sonic! They're trying to capture Éclair here." Lucy informed.
"Really? That's what this is all about? What the heck is really going on?"
"We'll tell you all about it later but right now you must keep Éclair safe from these guys." Erza stated.
"Hand over the girl now Sonic." Dyst demanded upon reuniting with the rest of Carbuncle after being punched across the guild hall.
"You're in no position to be making demands, pal." Thor shot back. "Leave the Fairy Tail guild empty-handed while you still have the chance."
To show he was serious, lightning was sparking from his eyes.
Out of nowhere, Natsu roared from the rubble and charges at Carbuncle but Dyst uses his magic to block Natsu's path. This gives Sonic the cue to take off and gets Éclair away from Carbuncle and takes her to safety. Sonic ran as fast he could and gets Éclair away to get her to a safe place.
"Thank you for helping me. Lucy and the others has told me a lot about you. I never knew you would be real." Éclair thanked.
"Don't sweat, I take it that they're after you for something right?"
"Yes. I believe they're after this Phoenix Stone. It's half of it and I must dispel the stones before they fall into the wrong hands."
"Say no more. I can help you with that, I do have ways of destroying things. Do you have a plan on how to dispel its magic?"
"Not exactly but I will come up with something. My father has developed a weapon that can dispel the magic, if I can do that then the stones will be no more."
"Any idea where I can find this weapon?"
"No. I'm sorry."
"Don't sweat it, we'll improvise. We always do."
Sonic's Chaos Sense begin to trigger and sense some energy nearby and it was heading this way. Sonic try to figure out who it is until all of sudden, a flash of sphere made of fire is seen heading towards Sonic. Éclair then spotted the fireball and shouted, warning Sonic about it.
"Sonic watch out!" Éclair warned.
Sonic look and is being struck by the fire ball and it sends him flying while he carries Éclair in his arms. Éclair screamed, holds Sonic tight in her arms as the true blue is seen crashing through a building and he hits the ground which they appear to be at the park of Magnolia. Éclair is seen in… awkward position, Sonic lie down on his back and she had find herself being on top of the blue speedster. Éclair blushed and looked away and apologizing to the true blue.
"I'm sorry." Éclair apologized.
"It's ok. Are you all right, are you hurt?" Sonic asked checking up on Éclair.
"I am all right and I'm not hurt."
"Good."
Sensing some energy nearby, Sonic begin to see the three figures that he had faced before during his travels. Charlotte alongside with Amelie and Winter beside her slowly approaches the true blue.
"Do you know these guys?" Éclair asked.
"Yeah. I ran into them when I was out traveling. They're after me and I'm pretty sure that they're gunning for you too." Sonic responded.
"That's far enough Sonic. Now hand over the girl and die." Charlotte demanded.
Getting Éclair off of him, Sonic gets back up on his feet and Éclair gets behind of Sonic and holds his shirt tight for safety.
"No way that's going to happen. Why are you after me? What do you want the girl for?" Sonic questioned.
"We're working with Carbuncle to that task and we're only here to kill you. Now hand over the girl, Sonic." Charlotte continued.
"No."
"Sonic…" Éclair trailed.
"Éclair, run as fast you can and head to my house. You'll be safer there."
"Which one is your house?"
"The one that is a big one with a blue fence. That's where you'll find it. My friend Kenny should meet you there, he has a security system installed there. I need to head over there and stay there until this is all done."
"Okay. Thank you."
"No problem now go!"
Éclair nodded and ran as fast as she can. Winter uses her quickness to go after Éclair but Sonic sees it coming and uses his speed to bash Winter away with his Sonic Boost and sends her crashing to a bench that causes it to break.
"You're not getting anywhere near her." Sonic warned.
"Fine then, ladies I think it's time you show Sonic your true potential." Charlotte stated.
"Yes, mistress!" Amelie and Winter acknowledged.
*BGM: Blue Stahli – Shotgun Senorita*
Amelie and Winter get ready and start to use their power ordered by Charlotte herself. Sonic wondered what they're planning to do so he got ready for what's about to happen. Sonic then start to notice that they're drawing the power of the flames from their bodies and what surprises Sonic is that their tattoos begin to glow. Amelie's tattoos glowed the color blue and start to engulf the blue flames from her fists and Winter's tattoos glow the color yellow and engulf flames from her katanas. Sonic begin to sense their power increasing tremendously. Charlotte smirked at their power and cross her arms to watch the fireworks.
"Whoa. That got some amazing amount of power." Sonic thought.
Amelie is the first one up to charge at Sonic and slam down her fist to the ground to hit Sonic. Sonic back flip and dodge away then Winter launches up in the air with great speed and slashes Sonic with her katanas but Sonic sees it coming through his Chaos Sense and he drift away to evade Winter but however, Winter shot a few shockwaves of yellow flames from her katanas with a few sword slashes. Sonic using his reflexes to dodge away the fire shockwaves. Seeing this as a distraction, Amelie jump up in the air and struck Sonic with her fist with full force and that force sends Sonic flying and he crash through a building of the town.
Éclair look behind and sees Sonic dealing with the Firebirds but she can't turn back now. Her safety is on the line and she ran as fast as she can to head to her destination and that destination is reach to Sonic's house. Éclair prayed for Sonic to be ok and to be safe while he deal with the assassins. Running as fast she can to reach the destination, Chase appears out of nowhere and grabs Éclair and finally he regroups with the other members of Carbuncle and they take off leaving Sonic to deal with the Firebirds. Sonic senses danger and he sees that Éclair is being taken away and Éclair shouted Sonic's name.
"SONIC!" Éclair shouted.
"Éclair! Hang on, I'm coming!" Sonic said.
Sonic dodge Winter's katanas and kicks her away then Sonic Boost Amelie out of his way bashing her and sends her heading towards a tree and crash against it. The blue blur takes off and stop Carbuncle from taking Éclair away, Charlotte then intervene when she too has her tattoos glow but it is the color red and she charge and interrupt Sonic with a kick right to the face and sends him flying and hits the ground. Amelie jumps down and charges at Sonic and swing her fist but Sonic catch the first and blocks it. The blue blur kicks Amelie to the face and drop kicks her away and did a backflip and curls himself into a ball and homing attacks Winter in the air and sends her crashing down. Charlotte jumps in and kicks Sonic back down to the ground and dives down for another kick but Sonic rolls out of the way.
Charlotte begin to shooting fire blasts at the blue blur forcing Sonic to dodge away, taking off to evade the fire blasts from the phoenix. Sonic then engulfs blue wind from his right hand and hurls them over at the red phoenix initiating his ability.
"Sonic Wind!" Sonic shouted.
Charlotte smirked and gets out of the way snapping her fingers and create some fire explosion hurting Sonic and it sends him up in the air. Amelie then launches up in the air and head straight to Sonic and grabs him. Amelie then dives down and slams Sonic into a powerbomb causing the ground to have a dent with a few cracks to it and beating down the true blue. Sonic countered Amelie off by curls himself into a ball and shot a shockwave towards her and backing her away from Sonic using Sonic Storm. Winter comes in and swing her katanas at Sonic to catch Sonic by surprise. Sonic use his quickness, his speed, and his reflexes to dodge the katanas away from Winter. Winter surprises Sonic with a somersault kick and stabs her sword down to Sonic in the right shoulder causing Sonic to scream in agony and know he's in immense pain. Winter then kicks Sonic up in the air and show a few fire shockwaves from her swords and they hit Sonic and Sonic collapse down. Amelie uses her strength to grab Sonic and tosses him over to a wall with brute force that made Sonic creates a dent to the wall during the crash. Amelie then begin to charge at Sonic and she bashes Sonic with her shoulder creating a hole to the wall and Sonic on the ground in a building then Amelie grabs Sonic by the ankles and tosses him out of the building and hits the ground.
Sonic bounces on the ground after the crash and is lying down on his stomach to the ground. Charlotte slowly walk to the true blue and engulfs a red fire ball from her hand and aims it right at the blue hedgehog ready to execute the hero.
"Bye, bye Sonic the Hedgehog." Charlotte said.
Just when Charlotte can finish Sonic for good, all of sudden, the execution is being interrupted when someone shouted out of nowhere and coming straight at Charlotte.
"Wind Dragon Cyclone Fist!" a dragon slayer shouted.
The fist then hit Charlotte right to the face and the phoenix is seen flying and hits the ground and crash through the wall. Sonic then look and sees his cousin: Spiral the Hedgehog making the safe and he helps Sonic up by extending his hand. Sonic accepts it and Spiral help his cousin up to his feet.
"You ok, cousin?" Spiral asked.
"Yeah, thanks for the save. Glad you can make it." Sonic responded.
"And miss the party? Please, I've been itching for some action when you were away. Kenny fill me in while I was on my way here. Where's Éclair?"
"Carbuncle took her and I don't know where."
"You hit mistress, you will regret that!" Winter threatened as she and Amelie regroup and get ready to fight.
"I'm guessing that the phoenix I punched is their leader?" Spiral pointed out.
"Yeah. They call themselves the Firebirds." Sonic responded.
"Firebirds? The Magic Council has been looking for them for a while now. They've committed so many assassins throughout contracts."
"And they had a contract against me and they're here to kill me."
"Isn't that obvious."
Amelie begin charging at Sonic but Spiral jumps in and blocks Amelie off by catching her arms.
"You're fighting me!" Spiral said before he engulfs his hand with wind and then delivers a powerful punch using his Wind Dragon Cyclone Fist and sends Amelie flying and she crashing through a wall. Winter charge at Sonic and swings her katanas at the true blue. Sonic using his reflexes again to dodge the katanas and soon Sonic counters Winter with an uppercut then curls himself into a ball for a homing attack. Winter then teleported in flames dodging Sonic and swing her katanas downward striking Sonic on his back and kicks him down.
Sonic lands down on his feet and back flip away when Winter shot a few fire shockwaves from her katanas and tosses a few fire kunais at the blue hedgehog. Sonic use his speed to get out of dodge and begin transforming into his Volt Sonic form and launches himself at Winter and delivers a lightning punch right to the face but Winter answers back with a knee kick to the face and start rapidly kicking Sonic a few more times then she swing her swords and shot a shockwave creating a letter X and sends Sonic back down and hits the ground and bounces off and crash through a bench.
Spiral goes after Amelie and readied his magic, Amelie launches herself from the rubble and bashes Spiral with her shoulder then punches him a feet away in the face then slam down her fist and creates a shockwave of fire from underground. Spiral gets caught in the fire and Amelie damaged the wind dragon slayer. Spiral blew wind using his Wind Dragon Wing Attack and eats a little bit of wind after feeling a little breeze blowing then unleashes another spell.
"Wind Dragon Roar!" Spiral shouted and he blew a massive stream of wind from his mouth towards Amelie.
Amelia stomps her feet and creates a fire shield and blocks the fire then pushes her way through and clotheslines Spiral and flipping him backwards before she slams the wind dragon slayer down with brute force causing Spiral to scream in pain. Amelie then picks Spiral up, bringing him up as she hold him by the collar and start to beat him, punching the blue and white hedgehog a few times then delivers another punch but this time with brute force and that force sends Spiral flying and he hits the ground on his back and rolling backwards. Spiral then gets back up on his feet and sees Amelie come running towards him and she again bashes Spiral with her shoulder and sends Spiral crashing towards a nearby wall and knocks him unconscious.
Winter continue to attack Sonic and uses her speed with her powers, Sonic look around as Winter begin to circle around Sonic and tosses a few fire kunais. Sonic jumps up in the air to get out of dodge. What Sonic didn't know is that Winter had planned for this and she uses the afterimages to distract Sonic and the hawk comes in and delivers a powerful slash with her katanas and blasts a stream of fire and struck Sonic back and he hits the ground hard on his back.
Amelie return back with Winter and Charlotte regroup with the others. Before Winter and Amelie can deliver the final blow, Charlotte stopped them for doing so.
"No. Sonic's ain't worth killing. He has shown a lot of courage and he doesn't deserve to die. We got what we came for, let's head on back to Veronica and claim our immortality." Charlotte suggested.
"Yes, mistress." Winter and Amelie complied.
