Chapter 27: Day 26: Sonic VS Aleena. (Credit goes to creepus for the request.)
Sonic was minding his own business at home, chilling, when suddenly, someone rung the doorbell.
"Wonder who that is?" Sonic asked as he sped to the door and opened it, gasping in shock when he saw Amy with bruises and injuries.
"Sonic, please help me." she said weakly before she fell forward, Sonic catching her. He ran up the stairs to his mother's room, where she was reading a book.
"MOM!" Sonic called, catching Aleena's attention.
"What is it, Sonic?" Aleena asked as he rushed to the door carrying Amy. Aleena had to keep herself from screaming at how badly hurt Amy was.
"Let's hurry to the hospital!" she said, hopping off her bed. A few minutes later, the hedgehogs had arrived at the hospital, where Amy was rushed to emergency care. Being unable to go see her for now, Sonic and Aleena headed home. Aleena was worried for Amy while Sonic was furious beyond belief.
"Whoever did this is going to be very sorry! I'll make sure they pay for it big time!" Sonic shouted.
"Sonic, calm down. Violence isn't going to solve anything." Aleena said, trying to quell his anger.
Some time later, Sonic and Aleena went back to the hospital to check on Amy, who was waking up. "S-Sonic?" she asked weakly as she turned to see him and his mother.
"Hey, Amy. How do you feel?" Sonic asked gently as he held her hand.
"I'll be better." she said with a smile.
"Amy, tell us, who did this to you?" Aleena asked.
"It was Sally. She ambushed me and beat me senseless because she was mad that I'm Sonic's girlfriend." Amy answered. THAT flared Sonic's temper up quicker than Dr. Eggman, as he started to squeeze Amy's hand very hard as he gritted his teeth and growled in anger.
"That stupid, selfish, arrogant little squirrel! Who does she think she is?! Beating up Amy like this! When I get my hands on her, she'll beg for mercy!" Sonic started to rant before Amy said, "Sonic, can you please stop squeezing my hand like that? It hurts."
Sonic realized it as he snapped back and quickly eased his grip. "Sorry, Amy." he quickly apologized. When visiting hours ended, Sonic and Aleena returned home, where Sonia, Manic and Sam were waiting.
"Hey, you two. What kept you?" Sonia asked. "Sally beat up Amy and we had to go to the hospital to check on her." Sonic said, a dark aura forming around him.
His siblings stepped back, with Sam asking, "Sonia, what if he turns into Dark Sonic?!"
"Sonic." Aleena said in a warning tone, causing Sonic to calm down again.
"All right, no Dark Sonic." Sonic said before he turned around and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Manic asked.
"To give Sally a taste of her own medicine. She needs to learn that if you hurt my girlfriend, you have to pay the piper." Sonic answered as he turned around.
"Sonic, are you even aware that if you beat up Sally, you could start a war between our two kingdoms?" Aleena asked.
"Well, there's a 50/50 chance of it happening, Mom. Besides, who cares if the Acorn family gets their petty little feelings hurt? They have to learn that their daughter's actions have consequences that affect other people, like Amy." Sonic said before he turned back around. Suddenly, a yellow laser beam shot in front of his feet, making him stumble before falling back. Sonic looked behind him and was shocked to see Aleena holding the jewel off her crown, which was smoking.
"Mom, what the heck?!" Sonic shouted.
"I'm sorry, Sonic, but I can't let you do it." Aleena said as she placed the jewel back on her crown.
"What do you mean?!" Sonic asked.
"I'm not gonna let you beat up a princess and put us all in danger. I understand why you want to do it, but you can't just go acting off on your own like that." Aleena said. Sonic glared at her before he turned around and started to walk away again.
"SONIC!" Aleena yelled as she pulled off her jewel again, only this time, Sonic sensed it and Homing Attacked her hand, making her drop it. Aleena held her cramped hand before she glared at Sonic, who glared back at her.
"How dare you strike your mother?!" Aleena yelled.
"Well, you don't care about Amy, so I won't just let you keep me from it!" Sonic yelled before Aleena rushed over and bonked him over the head.
"How dare you think I don't care about my son's girlfriend?! If you keep this up, you are going to be grounded!" Aleena chastised Sonic before he glared at her and spun in a ball.
"Ground THIS!" Sonic shouted before he launched at her in a Spin Dash, which she narrowly avoided.
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! WHAT IN THE NAME OF SOLARIS IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Aleena shouted as Sonic stopped and glared at her again.
"I told you! If you don't care about Amy, I'm not gonna listen to you!" he yelled before he launched at her in a Homing Attack.
Aleena gritted her teeth, "You wanna play rough, do ya?" she asked before she launched at Sonic in a Homing Attack. The two hedgehogs collided in mid-air before they landed on the ground and started exchanging punches and kicks.
"Sonic! Mother! What are you doing?! Cut this out!" Sonia said. The two hedgehogs didn't listen as Aleena punched Sonic in the eye, causing him to stumble back before she sweep kicked his legs, causing him to fall on his back. Sonic quickly got back up and rushed towards her, punching her in the leg, making her stumble before he attempted to Spin Dash at her, only for her to take out a giant ping-pong paddle and swat him away like a fly. Sonic flew for a while before he landed in the city, alerting the police and SWAT teams nearby, as well as his friends, who were helping Cream and Vanilla with their shopping.
"Sonic?!" Tails asked as the blue hedgehog struggled to his feet.
"Hey, guys." he answered in a grouchy tone as he brushed blood from his mouth.
"What's going on? Eggman again?" asked Vanilla.
"No. Her." Sonic answered before Aleena rushed onto the scene and tried to elbow him, only for Sonic to block it with his hands. Everyone was shocked.
"QUEEN ALEENA?!" they shouted. Aleena then tried to kick Sonic in the face, only for him to grab her foot and fling her into a building, leaving a crater behind her. People who had heard the commotion started rushing to the scene and were shocked to see two of their rulers fighting like two angry bears.
(SONG BY AVENGED SEVENFOLD.)
Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows
Feel this weight of sin hammering away
Die, with the guilt of a thousand AWOL soldiers
Die, watch the scythe usher me astray
"Don't you even care that Amy was put in the hospital because of Sally?!" Sonic yelled as Aleena fell to the ground.
As Aleena struggled back up, she glared at Sonic and shouted, "Of course I care! But, I'm not going to let you put our kingdom in danger!" Sonic decided he had heard enough and harshly Homing Attacked her in the stomach, making her stumble back, holding her stomach and coughing up spit. She then glared at Sonic again before Spin Dashing and bonking him on the head, making him stumble back while holding his head. Aleena then uncurled in the air and came down on Sonic with a strong Double Ax Handle, making the pain in his head worse. Sonic growled before he jumped up and kicked Aleena in the stomach, making her fly back and hit a gas tank, making it explode.
I can't go on this way
Not as I am today
The ugly side of me is strong
Take aim, a loaded gun.
Pull back on all who run.
A coward's truth inside the wrong
A ball of fire shot into the sky. Eggman, who was just flying over the city, noticed it and pulled back from it with a yell of shock.
"HEY! What's the big idea?!" he shouted before Orbot noticed something going on in the city below.
"Boss, look down there!" he called, pointing at Sonic and Aleena, who were still fighting.
Eggman looked and grew a wide smile, "Well, this looks like it just might be interesting." he said as he floated down. Meanwhile, Sonic and Aleena, who was covered in ash, had fist locked with palm, one trying to push the other back. As this was happening, four masked dogs were sneaking to the castle, which was vacant. Suddenly, another explosion was heard and seen by them. They looked at where it was and saw Aleena fighting Sonic.
"Hey, boys, I think that's the queen of this castle!" said a tough-looking member.
The leader looked and said, "Forget it, boys. We're not robbing this place."
A goofy-looking one looked at him and asked, "You sure, boss? We could make quite a lot out of what we steal from here." before another goofy-looking one nodded.
The leader smirked before saying, "I've got an idea." and leading his crew away. Meanwhile, Sonic had leaped onto Aleena's back and started punching her in the head. Aleena hissed before she grabbed Sonic by the shoulders and threw him into a billboard, causing him pain in the back. Sonic struggled back up and glared at Aleena before he summoned the Chaos Emeralds and started to glow yellow before Aleena punched him in the face, managing to get him to lose the aura before she turned herself Super.
She rushed and grabbed Sonic by the collar before she yelled, "YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! YOUR DUMB ACTIONS COULD CAUSE SOMETHING MUCH WORSE THAN THIS!" in his face before she threw him up in the air and Double Ax Handled him back down, accidentally passing some of the Chaos energy to him and turning him Super as well, causing him to rush towards her in fury and start a massive scuffle.
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
"SONIC! YOUR HIGHNESS! PLEASE STOP THIS!" Cream called, only to run screaming with everyone else when an energy blast avoided by Aleena came down near them. Sonic fired a wave of energy at Aleena, who struggled as she caught it and threw it away. Sonic then rushed towards her and started furiously trying to punch her, only for Aleena to dodge each one before she powerfully hit him, making him fly back with a trail of blood flying out of his nose.
Sonic stopped himself before he brushed his nose and shouted, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" before launching towards Aleena in a golden spear, knocking her back through several billboards. On the streets below, the Oracle teleported in with Argus and Cyrus, as well as Bartleby.
"Holy dangerous disputes, Batman! Sonic and the Queen look like their about to tear each other apart!" Cyrus said.
"This is most troubling!" the Oracle said before he emitted green magic that chained Sonic and Aleena, only for them to instantly break free and attack one another. At that point, the army rolled in and started to evacuate the citizens.
"Artillery! On my mark! Ready…Aim…" a sergeant said before a soldier interrupted.
"Sir, we can't fire at those two. They're our rulers!" the soldier said.
"I know, but we have to do what we have to do! FIRE!" the sergeant said as the tanks shot at Sonic and Aleena, only for it to go unnoticed and be ignored as the shot missed due to the two of them flying around so much, as did several other shots.
Lash your tongue of bane,
Carry me to nowhere.
Mental holocaust, battle never ends!
Lie, mask the pain of a child who's forsaken!
Lie, to myself, praise the new regime!
Sonic delivered a quick strike, which Aleena blocked with her wrist, numbing his arm.
"YES! KILL! CRUSH EACH OTHER!" Eggman shouted before Orbot tapped his shoulder.
"Boss, while this is happening, maybe we should think up a plan." the red robot said.
"Good idea." Eggman said before he and the two robots flew off. Back with Sonic and Aleena, the two hedgehogs were growing weary.
"Had enough?" Sonic asked as he looked at a panting Aleena.
"I won't quit until you've learned your lesson." she said before summoning the Super Emeralds and turning Hyper. Sonic quickly rushed and attempted a punch, only to be blocked and turn Hyper as well. The two of them then started exchanging punches and kicks at blinding speeds before they exchanged energy balls. Back on the ground, the SWAT had arrived, but were unable to get clear shots at Sonic and Aleena due to being occupied with evacuation and because of their agile battle.
"SONIC! MOM! YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING?!" Sam shouted.
"THINK ABOUT AMY, SONIC! WHAT WOULD SHE THINK IF SHE SAW YOU LIKE THIS?!" Rouge called.
"YOUR HIGHNESS! YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS!" Cyrus called.
"LISTEN TO THEM, BOTH OF YOU!" shouted Argus. The two hedgehogs paid them no mind as they continued their fierce struggle, intensifying the battle enough to give each other injuries.
"YOU NEED TO LEARN THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!" Aleena shouted as she shot an energy blast at him, which he countered with his own.
"YOU NEED TO LEARN THAT I WANT VENGEANCE WHEN SOMEONE ATTACKS THE ONES I CARE ABOUT AND TO QUIT BEING SO OVERPROTECTIVE!" Sonic shouted back.
I left me long ago.
Reasons you'll never know!
No one to miss me when I'm gone!
With no more words to say,
No argument to stay,
Another post I don't belong!
Sonic managed to overpower Aleena's blast and send her flying back. The royal hedgehog then let out a yell of rage as she fired a larger energy blast back at him, which he was unable to block and was sent flying into a building by. Sonic struggled out of the hole made by him and looked at Aleena full of anger as he rushed at her with a raised fist, Aleena doing the same.
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
THIS MEANS WAR!
Sonic and Aleena's fists collided with both giving off huge Chaos Energy waves, some causing things to crumble, before it covered them both in a bright flash, blinding everyone on the streets below. When it cleared, both Sonic and Aleena had been blasted into buildings by it, but were still willing to fight as they broke out of the walls and rushed at one another again, only this time, something weird happened. A mechanical blade popped up in front of them, surprising them and causing them both to stop. They looked and saw it attached to the hand of what looked to be a cyborg duck.
"Who are you?" Sonic asked.
"This is our fight. It has nothing to do with you." Aleena said.
"Right, but don't you see what you've done?" the duck asked before he gestured to the town, which had fires burning, buildings wrecked and people scared.
"Do you think people enjoy seeing their heroes fighting amongst themselves and causing this much mayhem? You may have your reasons, but that does not excuse what you've done here." the duck said. Sonic and Aleena's eyes widened before they looked at each other with sad expressions.
"Wow, we really messed up." Sonic said before the injuries the two of them had sustained took their toll. They fell unconscious and turned back to normal and began to fall only for the duck to catch them. Once they were taken to the ER, the duck was contacted by somebody.
"Gizmoduck, you're needed back here." the contact said. The duck nodded before he left, leaving everyone else in the waiting room. While this was happening, Sonic and Aleena were waking up in the room they had been sent to. Sonic looked at his mom and felt extremely guilty when he saw how injured she was, as did she.
"Mom." Sonic said.
"Sonic." Aleena said before they felt saddened.
"I'm so sorry." Sonic said.
"Me too." Aleena said before she smiled.
Sonic smiled too before he asked, "Do I have to leave home because of this?"
Aleena shook her head, "Our fight has changed nothing. You're still my son, and I will always be your mom." she said. In the following days, the two recovered from their injuries and made amends with the townspeople.
A few days later, Aleena said to her guards at the front gate, "Bring in the prisoners." As the metal opened, two guards leading Alicia and Sally came in, the two prisoners looking angry as they had stuff thrown at them.
"You have caused conflict between me and my son and as punishment, I sentence you both to 2 years in my dungeon." Aleena said before the guards took the two of them to the dungeon.
