A Hedgehog Of Chaldea

Saber Wars (Part 2)


*Let's Continue Where We Left Off*

"This is the place, Okita. The place of evil that misleads men's hearts. I must take care of this taboo. Let's cut this thing fast. Both strength and what redeems you are absolute... Other than that, you are useless. We both may have joined Master's "Resistances" team, but that doesn't change the fact that you still kill people." Paracelsus said

"That may be all true, but Master gave me a second chance to improve my ways. Why don't you go ask him about that." Okita replied

"Did someone call upon me? Oh, hey there, P and Okita! How you do?" Sonic said

"Master?! What are you doing here?" Okita surprise

"As you can see, the rocket ship crashed right over there. I'm currently trying to deal with that right now. However, I did meet a person who's from a different world from me!" Sonic replied

"Well, that was easy to discover them here. More people to take care of." X unleashing her Noble Phantasm at Okiat and Paracelsus

"What do you mean?! I wanna tag along with you guys as well!" Okita replied

"Again, it ends without my intentions being understood... It's fine... It is my providence to be dispersed so—Haa!"

"Why the hell do you look satisfied? Are you the type of dying happy no matter what?" Okita said

"We found them; destroy them, Sieg! The treasure is before you!" Medea commanded

"W-Wait! Don't listen to her! Besides, I see our Master right here where I'm at! No doubt that's Mr. Sonic with the other Servants. See! Away with the pain, This magical powder removes all your troubles " Medea Lily casts a spell.

"Damn, my head hurts... I think I hear voices once again... When I fell in that cave... I dropped Balmug into the spring, and goddess Stheno asked. "Which witch did you drop? The older witch or, the younger witch?" I answered that I hadn't dropped either one; I started to hear the voices of two women... And now, they each murmur to me, "I may order you around a lot, but for now, I want you to go to that rocket and steal the treasure!" Siegfried said

"Seems like Siegfried has been through many thanks to Medea and Medea Lily," Sonic commented.

"I'll let it pass since he seems genuine, but that the is Medea-Lily-calibur?!" X unleashing her Noble Phantasm once again

"*X's NP Blow's Medea's Hood Off Her Head, Revealing Herself* My hood has come off! My real identity was revealed!" Medea shock

"It's okay, Medea. Everything is all fine. I promise X isn't here to kill anyone." Sonic said

"Ugh! Look, I didn't hear voices after all... Forgive me for being easily deceived..."

Moments later, Medea, Medea Lily, and Siegfried teleported back to Chaldea. Sonic face palms soon after.

"Excellent! Excellent! Do not let any Saber Class live! To be sure!" X said

"Umm... I don't. Master wasn't impressed with what you did just now... seemed like all three of them would have understood if we had just talked to them..." Lily commented

"Is there a reason why you despise the Saber Class so much? There has to be a reason why right?" Nero asks

"I never disliked them when I was alive! But it became my mission after I became a Heroic Spirit. To be honest, this is for personal reasons. Nobody is forcing me to do this." X replied

"Well, X! You certainly are optimistic about achieving your own goal. I admire it, but I'm not sure much of the oppressive attitude you currently pose." Nero said

"I don't know how to feel hearing you liking me..." X commented

"After hearing all this. I think X is trying to take out the Saber Class to be considered one of the most powerful in that Class." Sonic said

"That's most certainly the plan, Sonic. Ultimately, both of weve to fight, which is unfortunate." Nero replied

"You've been my main target from the very beginning. My objective is my mission which it's more like a job." X said

"Lily, isn't your goal different than other Servants? Like Mordred wanted.?" Mash asks

"Wait, did you just say Mordred?!" X said

"Oh, dear! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Both her and Lily's goal were to become King. Mo held onto that same goal when he was still alive. In the case of Lily, her goal arose after she became a Servant. Something that she told a while back." Sonic replied

"Oh, yes, I did!" Lily said

"A position of fantasy, huh? That's probably a good thing. Servants only existed in the Wars on Earth. Usually, there are certain conditions for Servants to remain after a war. However, with Sonic here and sharing his so call "Chaos Energy" with us. We will still be connected with him after the war, making us Servants let go of our previous lives and become humans of that era Sonic lives now." Emiya explaining

"Interesting, Emiya, So to break it all down, even after we stop Humanity's extinction from that unknown god. Chaos Energy allows you to remain here and start new lives in that era. While also indicating that I'm permanently your Master?" Sonic said

"That is correct, Sonic. Da Vinci told me before that Chaos Energy was powerful enough to keep us all alive even after our Master died or something terrible happened to you, Sonic. Though that sounds unique, we still won't let anything that gets in our way kill you. After all, you are still our Master." Emiya replied

"I gotta say, I never expected Chaos Energy to be a big part of Servants when I arrived here. And I'm glad it's decided to help you all out here. Knuckles would've been surprised to hear if he was around." Sonic said

"We're happy to have you with us, Senpai. You did so much for us and how much we accomplished in so little time." Mash said

"Hehe! A Hedgehog's gotta do what hedgehogs gotta do to stop Humanity from extinction." Sonic replied

"Dammit, Archer, you stole the spotlight from me. Though I'm mad, I can't say you are saying "lives now" is quite fascinating."

"So does that mean my ending? I became King then destiny after that..." Lily said

"The past has been written while the future has been decided. Heroic Spirits of the past can change nothing, much less those who the future. However, as for those in the now, they can alter the past and future! Especially our Master, Sonic, who just said he will permanently be his Servants after the war." Nero said

"I hate to budge in, but we have more uninvited people here." Tamamo No Mae said

"And who can that be?" Sonic asks

"What's good, Babbage! We just spotted a spacecraft! Seen one of these at the Smithsonian. We could use this to fly to the moon and treat yourself to Kaguya!" Sakata said

"I approve such thoughts, Golden. On rare occasions, they give me tingles. However, that rocket is flawed and lacks cogwheels like a lubricator and steam engine. I must reconstruct the spacecraft myself." Babbage replied

"You mustn't, Babbage. How could you overlook the important flaw here? It does not require electricity! At least call it Nikola Coil! Are you mocking me with this Altrium!? It's almost the same level of me getting mocked by that Blue animal and his energy source he calls Chaos Energy." Tesla said

"Babbage, Tesla, and Sakata decided to join us in our side quest..." Sonic said

"Hello. This area is a training ground; only Sabers and Master are allowed in this area..." Lily said

"Don't mind us. We are an eligible person who comes here following the lens." Babbage replied

"Lens?" Sonic confuse

"That's right, Hedgehog, this lens that fell from the sky fits exactly in the palm of my hand. With voices telling me to come here and defeating some source of evil in space. I couldn't back down., I've been looking forward to this! You know the kind of anime they show in summer and stuff, right? During summer vacation, they have those where they fly into space and kill some villain and save the princess and stuff! Just like you, Sonic, I love a good adventure!" Sakata said

"Our designs are literal anime-based," Mash said

"So, if you don't mind me, I'll be helping myself to that spacecraft. I'm going to have myself a little spin in it!" Sakata said

"I don't think that's such a good idea; even a Hedgehog who can bring himself into a rocket doesn't think this is such a good idea," Sonic commented.

"Kintoki... You're becoming more American as time passes, which is why Shuten drinks... And she is not drinking out of desperation." Tamamo No Mae said

"Hey! Are you friends with that woman? You better not call her here! This place would be a battlefield if you did." Sakata said

"Why the hell would I want to expose your love affairs? It's not like Sonic doesn't care about it either way. But don't worry, I won't call her even if you ask me to. You can be a dumb couple all by yourselves." Tamamo replied

"She's the same kind of devil as that Stheno chick..."

"This whole thing is now getting out of hand..." Sonic commented

"So, Captain Nikola? Captain, right?" X said

"Correct, lady. I am the Nikola Tesla. With the help of Bell, I intercepted your conversation from ten kilometers off... In that Servant-verse you speak of, is there genius of my caliber?!" Tesla said

"But aren't you Captain Nikola, the rival of the Dark Doctor, Sanity Gilles?" X asks

"Unbelievable! I have been proven to be a genius even on a scale as large as the universe!" Tesla said

"Hey, don't worry, Tesla. Even I have met other me's from different universes as well. Especially my younger self helped me stop a beast that wanted to stop time." Sonic commented

'"This is getting out of hand, and I want to get back to why we're here in the first place. Lily, show us your skills to see how you improved." Emiya said

"For sure, Emyia-Senpai! Excuse for a second, Sonic!" Lily said

Moments later, Lily charges at Babbage, Tesla, and Sakata and begins to fight them by herself. Sonic and the others watch as Lily attacks Tesla with the sword slashes she learned from the other Sabers and Sonic himself. Lily slashes down Tesla, leaving several scratches around his body and finishing it off with a tear that knocks him to the ground, shocked. Lily then charges at Sakata while charging her sword and performs a quick attack on him on his stomach before unleashing a series of sword slashes soon after, finishing it off by firing a beam at him and sending him flying a few feet away from her. Babbage charges at Lily but quickly jumps at the machine and slashes him several times, leaving dents and scratch marks around him. While attacking Babbage, Lily charges up her sword again and aims at him, but suddenly, Lily loses balance. Instead of finishing off Babbage efficiently at the body, she instead attacks it on his head, causing massive damage to it, causing him to fall back and smoke to come out of his body.

"O-Oh! I'm Sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" Lily apologizing

"Why are you apologizing? That was incredible. You have indeed grown stronger." X said

"Wow... that was golden..." Sakata said before teleporting back to Chaldea

"Well, I am quite satisfied if I'm going to do down by something from the universe. I have one question, Lady X. Is my name, not Doctor Lightning, where you are from?" Tesla asks

"It has only ever been Captain Nikola. Why do you ask?"

"So... Captain?" Tesla said before teleporting back to Chaldea

"Over 80% of moving parts damaged. I must return and repair it once again. A Servant that dreams...Truly... they are insignificant bliss or overblown fantasies; dreams are a human privilege. That is what I learned in that city. However, You, Lily-white knight, and you Master...From the data that I have collected, I have elucidated her goal. Even if the actions are born from good intentions, there is no justice in those that come from the future. That spacecraft is for transporting dreams..." Babbage said before teleporting back to Chaldea

"Kintoki, Nikola, and Babbage have all disappeared with this Singularity. And we also retrieved the spacecraft part that they acquired. Could what Babbage have said..."

"Well, of course, he was talking about X here," Sonic replied

"Babbage is a Scholar in this world but also looks like a tea kettle. At this point, why don't I tell you the truth behind my real purpose?" X said

"That would be wonderful to hear from you, X. Go right ahead." Sonic replied

"Alright. Listen, everyone. I said I came to this era to save the world. To be perfectly frank, the cause is Lily. You too, Nero." X said

"It's us?!" Lily shock

"Whoa, whoa! What the heck is going on here?" Sonic confuse

"So you're going to have a World Tour Concert in the future, your Majesty?" Tamano asks

"Wouldn't a World Tour Concert from me save the future?"

"Your Concert tour brought down Planet Rome to its ruins," X said

"What?!"

"It was so terrible even Altera ran away from it. But I am not here to talk about that now. You may find it hard to believe, but there will be many of you in the future. The future is flooded with the Saber Class...If it continues, the Lancer Class will be annihilated... ...and the Archer Class will all be rounded up as criminals and imprisoned. That is why I came back here to the past to stop such madness."

"If you are destined to take down a Servant Class. Wouldn't Lily be part of that mass as well?" Sonic asks

"Yes, that's correct. You could even call me one of the causes of the Saber Class saturation that you speak of, Ms. X," Lily said

"N-No, Destroying all the Sabers is not right. I would never be born if I didn't have at least one around. And the person most suited to that role is you, Lily!" X said

"Hey, why not me?" Nero said

"Your character is strong, and you don't resemble me in the least. Anyway, though I find many things about you inexcusable, I will forgive you for now... Wait, Nero! Watch out!"

Suddenly, a beam headed right toward Nero, but X quickly pushed her out the way and got hit by the beam, falling unconscious soon after.

"X! Hey! That wasn't cool to do!" Sonic shouted

"What do we have here? Showing your weakness, Heroine, and making peace with Red? How disappointing."

"Gah! Whoever did that, show yourself!" Nero shouted

"With pleasure! *Appears* The killer from the shadows, assassination is my forte!"

"*Notices Another X* Wait a minute; there are two of them now? But she's right here with us..." Sonic said

"What is going on?! I'm losing my thoughts!" Mash said

"She is an imitation of me!" X said

"I am no imitation of you; I am Heroine Z! The Saber that destroys all Sabers! Your softness surpasses that of ponies and clouds alike. Suppose the mission is to destroy all Sabers. Then you should have foreseen another Heroine appearing to kill her!" Z said

"Actually... We didn't predict you coming around here..." Sonic said

"A talking animal? Never seen anything like you before in my world." Z said

"Should've expected that answer from you. Don't worry; before we start fighting, names Sonic The Hedgehog. Nice to meet you, Z," Sonic said

"Are you seriously not afraid of someone like me? Well, I'll be honest... I'm not very strong! I'm a little worried about battling you all alone! Especially that Hedgehog right there. How can I possibly know what tricks he has up in his white gloves." Z said

"Get ready for battle, Senpai! But don't go all out against her for her sake." Mash said

"With pleasure. Come on, Lily! Let's get this party started." Sonic said

"Right behind you, Master!" Lily replied

"Hey, don't you think you two will be fighting her alone? We're all here for a reason. Nero said

"What?! All of you guys are fighting against me?! Unfair!" Z shouted

"Alright, team, let's take care of Z for the sake of X!" Sonic said

"Wait a minute!"

Sonic takes out his sword as his team charges toward Z all at once; X watches in disbelief that she has to deal with a group of Servants and Sonic. Z is in doubt, but she continues to stand her ground and charges at the group soon after.


*One Unfair Fight Later*

"How is this even fair in the first place? Even a Master is fighting against a Servant!" Z shouted

"And how could you sneak attack X down? I know; if you don't want to fight, just put your sword down." Nero said

"I hate negotiating! Why are you even protecting Lily? You should end her life! The reason X trained you was that you weren't a threat. She was laughing inside about how much of a pushover you are. You are nothing but a tool! A nice-looking laborer that would help her repair her spacecraft!" Z admitting

"..."

"Don't listen to her, Lily. You are not a tool to me but one of my closest friends! I know for a fact that you have grown a ton ever since I summoned you. Look at those times you defeated me in our training sessions, even when I went full-on against you. You stood your ground and continued to push yourself to the end." Sonic said

"Yea, you're right, Sonic. All those times training together got me to where I am today, and I couldn't be more grateful. And with Mrs. X helping me with my training, I have become even stronger. Let me tell you something, Z; you're a liar!" Lily said

"Wh-What?!"

"Mrs. X may be the kind of person to think about me. But that's not really what happened here! Do you think Altria could do something as difficult as repairing a spacecraft!?" Lily said

"Wait a minute! You're right!"

"It was Sonic and Mash who repaired the spacecraft very fast each time we obtained a required part for the spacecraft!" Lily replied

"No kidding." Mash commented

"What an argument," Tamamo said

"That tells you how much of a useless Saber compared to Mrs. X! I was a knight of no consequence to her! Yet she and Sonic helped me train and grow stronger! Never league at my dream! No matter Ms. X's objective, I will always be her ally! This holy sword shines brightly to protect all those I love! Ready your sword, Heroine Z! Saber Lily will send you to your grave!" Lily shouted

"*Chuckles* She has come a LONG way. I'm super proud of her." Sonic said

"Well said, my enemy! If I am outnumbered, I still have another weapon! Let me show you what I mean! Heroine Z's ultimate secret weapon is this!

Moments later, several duplicates of Z appear behind her.

"What the?!" Nero shock

"No way!" Tamamo shock

"Behold! Saber Ninja Art: 3 Wave Duplication!" Z said

"A Ninja Art!"

"Those looks on your faces. It satisfies me! This skill is known as Ninja Art Saber Infinite Hells. A candy in the East that shows the same face no matter how much you cut it. I based it on that." Z said

"Ha! That skill of yours isn't going to help against my speed!" Sonic said

"What are you talking about?" Z said

"Hey, Nero and Emiya. Care to join me in this battle?" Sonic asks

"Certainly, Master! Will handle the duplicates while Lily battles the real Z," Nero said

"You come a long way, Lily. But now it's time for the real test." Emiya said

"I understand. Master, please protect me as much as possible." Lily said

"Certainly, Lily! Will win this together!" Sonic replied

"Commencing Battle!" Mash shouted

"Let's do this!"

Sonic, Nero, Emiya, Mash, and Lily all charge toward Z and her duplicates. Two of her copies headed toward Nero and began swinging their swords at Nero. Still, Nero blocked each sword attack with her sword while front flipping over them and slashing them from behind and right towards Emma, who lunged at them and cut them several times with his duel weapons. Sonic jumps into the air and homing attacks three of the duplicates on their faces, each is knocking them away from him before slashing them with his sword, leaving scratch marks behind. Mash appears and punches one of them on the front, sending them flying a couple of feet back away from her before vanishing. The second duplicate shakes her head as she gets up and attempts to attack Mash from behind, but Lily rushes in, slashes the copy with her sword, and slashes once more before they vanish. The third attempts to get back up from the floor but Sonic curls into a ball and somersaults towards the duplicate, cutting them several times before disappearing away soon after. Suddenly, the real Z lunges toward Lily and attempts to attack her, but Lily senses the oncoming attack. As she turns and blocks Z's attack in time as both clang swords and try to knock on one another grip. Moments later, Lily overpowers Z, pushing her away from Lily, and lunges at her as she swings her sword at Z multiple times from all angles of her body. Z, though injured, wasn't done yet as she jumped away from Lily, charged up her sword, and lunged at Lily, unleashing super fast sword swings at her Lily. Lily blocks each of Z's attacks but is pushed further away from the force of the sword's slashes.

While the two were duking it out. Emiya and Sonic dealt with two more duplicates, while Nero and Mash handled the other two. Sonic clangs swords with one of the duplicates and somersaults their face soon after, sending them to the air as Emiya jumps right at it, slashes down at them, and throws them back down to the ground, where they hit down onto the other duplicate, vanishing soon after. Nero swings her sword at the exact multiple times before stabbing it through her stomach and disappearing away more quickly later. Mash blocks each of the duplicate's sword attack with her shield before jumping over her shield, kicking down onto the duplicate's head with her heels, and dropping them to the ground, where they vanish soon after. Still blocking each of Z's strong attacks, Lily charges up her sword, aims her sword right at Z, and fires a beam toward her. Z quickly jumps away from the shaft as Lily lunges toward Z and slashes her multiple times, ending it with a spin move and sending Z back away from her. Lily charges up once more, now unleashing her Noble Phantasm towards Z, firing a beam towards her that prices through her body and causes massive damage to her before the rays die down, and Z falls to the ground before vanishing away soon after.

"All enemies defeated," Mash said

"I-Is it over?" Lily asks

"It certainly is, Lily. I'm proud of you!" Sonic replied


*Later*

"*Wakes Up* Ugh... W-What happen? That damn Heroine Z! Using a cowardly sneak attack... Wait a minute, where's Z?" X looked around.

"Mrs. X, you're awake! Thank goodness! With the help of everyone, we soundly defeated Z!" Lily said

"W-What? Lily, you...you saved me..." X confuse

"That is correct, X! All thanks to our training sessions with Lily," Sonic said

"I can't believe it..."

"Morning X! I hope you had a wonderful rest." Mash said

"G-Good morning as well. Wait, I don't see Red... I mean, Nero... Don't tell me she was done in by Z?" X said

"Everyone all teleported back to Chaldea. Nero left a message for us to share with you. "If I am around, it will only ruin X's awakening!" Mash said

"..."

"Should I continue?" Mash asks

"I prefer no. I have better things to do than to think about her. Lily! I have something to say to you!" X said

"Y-Yes?"

"I must apologize to you! I'm sorry! Just like Z said, I was belittling you! It was better if you normally trained with Sonic here as you always did. I thought that even if I trained you, I could still handle you... So I was going to leave only you alive in this era. Then after I returned to the future, I was going to kill you. I'm entirely at fault. From beginning to end, I was merely using you. ...Therefore, I'm handing you back to Sonic's hands and train as normal as before." X apologizing

"Don't say that Mrs. X. You are just as amazing as Master. From the very start, you have believed in me. I mean... Since you trusted and praised me, I must do my best to repay that kindness." Lily replied

"Oh, I-I don't know what to say here... Um... Sonic, a little help here. What should I do?" X asks

"I think you could stay here for a little longer and help Lily with her training," Sonic replied

"I knew you were going to say that. You have a pure heart when it comes to your friends. But I won't decline that until Du Stallion II is repaired; I will continue your training. It's a pleasure to be working with you again, Lily." X said

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"


*Later*

"Glad everything came out well in the end," Sonic said

"Since Mash and Lily are training together. Let's talk together, Sonic." X said

"Hmm... what kind of talk are you interested in?" Sonic asks

"You said that you and Lily trained countless times in the past to get her stronger and reach her to become a king herself. What Nero said about lives can change the future. Steppin over the talk about that Chaos Energy stuff, she's wrong; people like Lily and me who were born of certain results, we cannot change those results. If Lily were to improve immensely and become a King, the land she would rule would have buoyed. When it comes to Chaldea, It's not to change history...or throw it into chaos. It's the final stronghold for returning human history to normal. One day I will become part of Chaldea, and I look forward to that day. Now listen. No matter what Lily does, she cannot change her destiny." X said

"Is that so, huh? Never really thought about that." Sonic replied

"I know how you feel, Sonic, about wanting to help a friend out, but please understand that no matter what. Don't change anything about any Servant, that includes Lily. The things that Lily does will fulfill that possibility. The original King Arthur was unable to fulfill the dream... Only she can make the glorious journey." X said

Sonic looks at the sword he is holding and stares at it for a few seconds.

"These Sabers have been through worse when becoming the King... And I got the easy shortcut..." Sonic thought

"We all owe you a lot for your hard work, Sonic. All those Servants we met throughout this adventure cared about you and trusted you to save Humanity. That goes for me as well."

"I look forward to working with you more, Master! I'll be waiting for you..." X said
