A Hedgehog Of Chaldea

The Garden Of Sinners (Part 3)


6th Floor, Room No.1

After a peaceful rest from the adventure that Sonic recently had in 21st Century Japan, Sonic slowly walks up from his nap as he rubs his eyes, stretches his body and yawns from his. As his vision became clearer and clear. He quickly finds out that he was not in Chaldea and instead back to the apartment he cleared out already

"*Confuse* Wait a minute... I'm back in the apartment... I could've sword we made it back to Chaldea already." Sonic said

"Hello, Senpai. Although we resolved the incident, it seems that your Servants are still trapped inside the building." Mash said

"Mash? What are you talking about? I thought we saved everyone already..." Sonic replied

"That may seem the case, but..."

All of a sudden, a sound electrically fills the air as Sonic turns around and notices Fran looking down at him.

"Uuuu... Uuuuuuu! Uuu! Uuuu, uuuu, uuuu!"

"Fran?! What are you doing here?! I could've sworn I saw you at Chaldea when I returned from Japan! Also, that's too bright! And why is Lu Bu here as well? What is going on!" Sonic said

"■■■■■ーーー!" Lu Bu roared

"...Uuuu... Te...sla...Uuuuuu!" Fran said

"Tesla? The Tesla I summoned not too long ago? That Tesla?" Sonic said

"Uuuu!" Fran replied


*Chaldea*

"Uuuu? Uu? ...Uuuu..."

"Reading a book under the gleam of electric light... How dazzling! Let's try increasing the brightness even further. This is all 500W can produce. How about we doubled that? System Keraunos!"

Tesla increases the electricity walts with his gauntlet, only to cut off the power of Chaldea's.

"A power outage? I'm sure my Rodent Master won't mind about it too much. I can learn a lesson even from a situation like this! That lesson being- It's important to conserve electricity!" Tesla said


*Back With Sonic*

"Uuuuuuu-!? Naaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Whoa there Fran! It's okay, once we return to Chaldea. I'll make sure to give Tesla a proper talk and save up Chaldea's power." Sonic said

"■■■■■ーーー!" Lu Bu roared

"You lent her a hand because she looks like your daughter." Well, I don't blame you at all with that." Sonic replied

"■■■■■ーーー!"

"You have a point there as well. No parent would want to see their child cry." Sonic said

"The complaints we've been getting lately telling us to do something about the power outages is due to this," Ryougi said

"Is that so, huh?" Sonic said

"Shiki? Is that a notepad you are looking at?" Mash asks

"We'll talk about that later. For now, let's go take care of this whole ordeal Sonic." Ryougi said

"I rather not fight these two... Here let me settle this." Sonic replied

Sonic walk's towards Fran who gets in her fighting stance, ready to fight Sonic.

"Fran, I understand you hate Tesla when he uses that much electricity. But don't worry, I can settle this on my own. As I said before, I'll give him talking about not using that much electricity. If that doesn't work, I'll just my lighting wisp against him and teach him a lesson. How about that?" Sonic asks

"*Smiles* ...Uu! Uu..." Fran replied

"*Pats Her Back* That's a good girl! Whenever you feel something that is bothering you. You're welcome to always find me and talk it out with me. I'll see what I can do from there on out." Sonic said

"Uu! Uu..."

"As for you Lu Bu, thanks for taking care of Fran ever since I summoned her. I owe you one!" Sonic said

"..."

"Now then, it's time for you two to return back to Chaldea," Sonic said

Sonic takes out a Chaos Emerald as he raises it to the air and shouts Chaos Control as Fran and Lu Bu teleported back to Chaldea unharmed. Sonic smiles as he puts the Emerald away soon after. Moments later, the room returns to being completely dark.

"Well, that was easier than I thought It'll be..." Ryougi said

"I understand others' emotions and how they feel. Just peacefully talk with others and they'll tell you what's going on." Sonic replied

"Ummm, Sonic... What did you say to Fran? She's unplugging pieces of equipment that use power! Wait! Don't pull the plug on that! At least I shut it down properly!" Romani said before being cut off

"Hehe! What a friend." Sonic commented

"Now with that out of the way. Allow me to read the notepad I received. It says, "Please resolve the cause of the power outages," we got that with no one harming each other. And second, Evcit the bad tenant who refuses to pay rent." Ryougi readout

"Oh wow, looks like someone wasn't actually paying this month's rent. In fact, not at all..." Sonic said

"Are these complaints from all the neighbours here?" Mash said

"Complaints requesting the removal of Sonic's Servants who are living here illegally. That's why I brought Sonic here to deal with the rest of them with me. Besides, this building is owned by the Ryougi family." Ryougi replied

"Wait, you're a landlord?!" Mash shock

"What a turn of events here. Ryougi is not only a fighter but a landlord as well." Sonic said

"Yes. I came to collect everyone's rent. Come on Sonic, let's begin our work. *Switches Into A Beautiful Uniform* Once everything is settled. I'll reward you with a room of your own Sonic, no payment needed." Ryougi said

"It's okay, I have my own room back at Chaldea. But I'll still gladly help out getting my friends out of this place by your request!" Sonic replied


6th Floor, Room No.4

Sonic, Mash, and Ryougi begin their work of getting the rest of the Servants out of Ryougi's apartment. They went deeper into the hallways to the fourth Room on the same floor. The three entered the room and noticed the amount of trash spread across the floor, counter, table, and so on.

"Yea... I can see why the neighbours want my friends out of this apartment..." Sonic commented

"Looks like my pizza has finally arrived. I'll kill them for wasting my time- Master?! What are you doing here?" Mary surprise

"Hey there, Mary. I see that you have quite the living space here if I say so myself. The number of pizza boxes and the empty food all covering the counter and fridge... Almost reminds me of Sweet Moutain. But instead of calling it Sweet Mountain, it's Dirty Mountian." Sonic replied

"Don't look at me, it was-"

"Who are you talking with, Mary? Oh, Master? What brings you here, are you now working as a delivery man? Please hurry and deliver my Top 100 High-Seas Adventure Novels set. I'm extremely bored and all we are getting is food delivered." Anne said

"I-I didn't expect you two to be here as well. What the heck happened?!" Sonic confuse

"At Chaldea, you two were living as peacefully as the rest of us! Where has your pride as a pirate gone?! Where are the girls who smiled and didn't seek the Holy Grail for treasure?!" Mash shock

"You could say we threw it away into the sea of the internet... All because of that black-haired bastard you summoned alongside us." Mary replied

"It's just so useful... And comforting..."

"The deliveryman threatened us for payment with a musket, so we sliced up the invoice without cutlasses! That's our new pride as pirates! Master! Get us out of here!?" Mary and Anne shouted

"It's okay you two! Here, I'll help you escape! *Pulls Out The Chaos Emerald Once Again* Chaos Control!"

Moments later, Mary and Anne teleported away back to Chaldea before anything bad happens to them.

"Teach... out of everyone in Chaldea... It had to be Teach... Ryougi, I'll clean this place up for you don't worry." Sonic said

"That will be appreciated, thank you, Sonic," Ryougi replied

Sonic then speeds around the room as the trash Mary and Anne left behind was removed and thrown out behind the apartment complex. All under a few seconds. Once taking the trash out, Sonic then cleans the room with cleaning supplies and makes the room as clean as it was before Mary and Anne arrived. Sonic then stops next to Mash and Ryougi and looks around the room as clean as ever.

"Mission accomplished!" Sonic said

"Splendid. Splendid indeed Sonic. Maybe I can hire you and work for me in this apartment complex with pay." Ryougi said

"I appreciate the offer but I'll decline it," Sonic replied

"Senpai, where did you get the cleaning supplies from?" Mash asks

"I "bought" them from the store close by here! The cashier was very nice to meet." Sonic replied

"Bought? Senpai, don't tell me you stole the supplies!" Mash said

"Don't worry, I returned the items back to their original spots on the shelves I found them. Like nothing ever happened." Sonic replied

"Senpai..."

"*Giggles* Usually I would scold someone who does something like that. But I'll let it slide on this one since Sonic did clean up this place." Ryougi said

"Hehe! I appricare it, Ryougi." Sonic replied


7th Floor, Room No.1

"Raaaarrgh ! Raaaaaargh!"

"W-What?! Leonidas this time?! Each Servant we've met so far had dangerous sides to them. But Leonidas shouldn't have any kind of dark like that! He always protected the rear. He is the Guardian of the Thermopylae..." Mash said

"Die! Die!"

"*Rubbing His Chin* If I do remember, whenever a ghost was around him. Even if it was a mile away, he would've changed his personality and become a scared little child. That's it! He's not under some control, he's just afraid of ghosts that are surrounded here!" Sonic said

"I'm scared! I'm scared! I came to rescue my comrades for my Master but now I became trapped in this hellhole! I can't take a single step outside this room! What?! New ghosts?! They take the forms of my Master and Lady Mash! Curse you! How dare you strike me where I am weak?! Arrgh, how my blood boils at this outrage! Raaarrgh! Aid me, valorous men of Sparta! Here I come! Thermopylae Enomoti... waaaahh!" Leonidas shouted

"And he mistook us for ghosts..." Sonic said

"Our innoncet, little King Leoniadas. What are we going to do?" Romani asks

"Don't worry, I got this! I had a conversation with Leonidas before is that if he mistook me for a ghost when he is alone with ghosts surrounding him. Expect me to come and help with an attack." Sonic replied

"You always prepared for these kinds of situations, huh?" Romani said

"Don't underestimate a Hedgehog like me! Now then, time to bring Leo back to reality." Sonic said

Leonidas charges at Ryougi, Mash, and Sonic, ready to strike down the supposed ghosts that shapeshifted into his friends and Master. As Leonidas gets closer and closer, ready to attack. Sonic quickly lunges toward Leonidas and performs a strong Axe-Kick down onto Leonidas, knocking him down onto the floor and shaking the whole apartment floor. Leonidas slowly gets back up from the floor, only to be punched by Sonic and thrown against the wall and fall back soon after, unconscious.

"See? A quick way to get him to calm down." Sonic said

"The King was taken out by a small little creature... again... what a story for the history books," Romani said

"Now then, shall we continue on to the next room?" Sonic said

"What about Leo? We can't just leave unconscious here..." Mash said

"Don't worry, he'll soon go back to Chaldea in no time," Sonic replied


7th Floor, Room No.4

After calming down Leonidas and sending him back to Chaldea. The three make their way to the fourth room on the same floor. Once entering, they were treated to an empty dark room once again like last.

"Once again, an empty room..." Sonic said

"Oh, what a surprise. New guests have arrived. Come in. I'm not going to eat you." Cu Chulainn said

"And I certainly didn't expect to see Cu here. What are you doing here, pal?" Sonic said

"Oh? Does this little blue fella know my True Name? Well, there's no need to hide, my face anymore. *Removes Hood* Man, I was suffocating under that hood. Also far too formal when I am gambling. Sit, honoured guests. Which game do you desire? Cards? Dice? Roulette?" Cu asks

"Gambling? Have I returned to Casino Night Zone once again? Ryougi, what's the complaint about Cu here?" Sonic said

"bawling and with no clothes on," it says. Well, typical apartment gambling. That's a matter that requires an arrest." Ryougi replied

"Cu, don't tell me you're..."

"I had too much free time, so my hobby became extreme and I began running a casino. You said yours let just now that you've been in a casino before, blue. So you must understand these types of games, right? And that means a fair game with others as well. For me, When I hold this staff, manipulating the dice is just too easy..." Cu said

"*Dumbfounded* What?" Sonic said

"That's illegal gambling! You're using your precious Druid abilities to load some dice?!" Romani shock

"I got into a quarrel with my mentor. I can't leave just yet. When I told her, "Act your age," I was hit with the full force of her fury. I tell you, I haven't mixed it up with my mentor like that since I was her disciple in the Land of Shadows! My mentor announced it out of the blue. As a final test. "All of you, slay me right now. If you cannot, you will die. For I am going to slaughter the lot of you." Cu said

"What a nice mentor you had before... And I'm glad I taught myself to fight..." Sonic commented

"Looking at you, you probably wouldn't survive her training... Normally, she would have beaten us. She easily wiped us out... Don't tell anyone I told you this, understand? "You have done well. You fools have finally become half-fledged warriors. But... I still have one stage of transformation left." That's what she said before sending us flying. She laid waste to my Wicker Man. Long story short, I lost to my mentor and was imprisoned here. She told me to think about what I did for a while." Cu finishes up

"You shouldn't bring up a woman's age, especially if she cares about what people think of her," Mash said

"I'll just ignore everything your mentor said to you and free you from this. Now hold still while I activate Chaos Control!" Sonic said

"W-Wait!"

"That won't be necessary, Master." A female voice said

"Huh?"

"*Appears From The Shadows*"

"Yikes!"

"Mistress Scáthach?!"

"Why didn't I see this coming?" Sonic commented

"I am not the strongest, most beautiful warrior of Celtic legend, but only a nameless Kunoichi who skulks in the darkness."

"This is Japan... suppose it's to be expected." Romani said

"Alright, let's just take down this Cu as fast as possible and send him back to Chaldea. Alongside Scat soon after..." Sonic said

"I am grateful for the offer, Die, Cú Chulainn!"

"What?! Why!? Who are you!?" Cu panicked

Moments later, Sonic, Mash, Ryougi, and Scáthach all charge toward Cu Chulainn, getting the beating worse than what went through before.

"*Watching The Madness* Oh, that's gotta leave a mark," Romani said

"What am I the subject to every beatdown?!" Cu shouted


GUDAGUDA Honnoji

The Garden of Nobbu: The Movie - Flaming Spiral


8th Floor, Room No.1

After defeating Cu and sending both him and Scathach back to Chaldea. Sonic, Mash, and Ryougi arrive on the 8th floor of the apartment building, heading their way towards the next room neighbours are complaining. As soon as the three enter the room, they quickly noticed a city destroyed with fire engulfing every direction.

"A room that doesn't lead to a room itself... Just another Thursday for me." Sonic commented

"What the hell is going on? This isn't even a room, to begin with." Ryougi said

"I am impressed you may all the way this far! I am The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven!" Nobunaga said

"What did you do to this room, Nobunaga? It's just a city destroyed and your here smiling as soon as we arrived..." Sonic asks

"Nice eyesight... Mast... Oh, I mean rodent! And you brought Boobie Servant alongside as well!" Nobunaga replied

"I shouldn't have to remind you! It's Mash Kyrielight!"

"As you can already tell by the plot of this story. Because of my curse, even this beautiful one-bedroom apartment... has cheap rent, it looks like a fashionable place for a noble to live in ...would turn into a different dimension like Crisis City from that one awful game of yours Rodent!" Nobunaga said

"..."

"What infuriates me... is that I haven't even gotten a single appearance since the GUDAGUDA Honnji story concluded! I've been desperately waiting in Chal... I mean, the sidelines to appear in this story will definitely be longer than this. And yet, I haven't shown up! That is why I have turned this apartment into a different dimension, and thus creating a story for this Chapter!" "The Garden of Nobbu"!" Nobunaga said

"You haven't introduced me to her yet, Sonic. Who the hell is this?" Ryougi asks

"It's Nobbu who I met a while ago, she can be crazy in the head sometimes. But you'll get used to it." Sonic replied

"I am the noobie Heroic Spirit Nobbu! Nice to meet you! Now then, let's fight!"

*One Glorious Fight Later*

After a fight that lasted for a few minutes, Sonic, Ryougi, and Mash came out victors as Nobunaga sat there, defeated-

"What the?! You didn't even explain the fight storyteller! And yet I came out as the looser! Though knowing the plot, I would've lost regardless..." Nobunaga said

"Are you done talking to yourself?" Mash said

"O-Oh, my bad! This is the part where I vanish and go back to Chaldea. Farewell, Master and Boobie Servant. I'll be back to have my time here in this story once again. Believe me!" Nobbu said before vanishing away

"Don't worry about her. She's returned to Chaldea with the others." Sonic said

"I still don't understand how you are able to stand these Servants, Sonic..." Ryougi commented

"Hello! I'm back! I picked up some ice cream at the convenience store. But while I was doing that, I happen to see a popsicle in the shape of Master's head. Didn't know they made those here. I did buy one since it included two gumballs as eyes but when I unwrapped it, the gumballs weren't directly placed inside the eyes. Talk about false advertisement. Anyway, What kind do you want, Nobbu?" Okita appears at the door

"Green tea!" Nobbu appears once again

"Huh?!"

"Strawberry," Ryougi said

"Shiki!?"

"Vanilla!" Sonic said

"Senpai?!"


8th Floor, Room No.4

Finally, after saving everyone from the apartment complex. Sonic, Mash, and Ryougi make their way to the last room where the last Servant was located. Once they enter the room, they notice another Sabre-class Servant inside the room.

"Well for once this room is just as normal as the others..." Sonic said

"X?! You too as well?!" Mash surprise

"That's right! It's a Saber! I'm the Saber who races across the glistening etheric universe!" X replied

"Yea, you told me that before you arrived here... Even I come from a different world," Sonic said

"Senpai... Where's Shiki?" Mash said

"What are you talking about? She's right here." Sonic pointing behind

"a highly concentrated Saber signal has led me to a new Saber! I have nothing against you personally, but I have a quota. A quota of Sabers to fight! I'm a character ruled by fate." X said

"I don't think we have a Saber-class here. Shiki is Assassin class..." Mash replied

"Actually, she's a Saber class to me now. Just look at that amazing sword she's holding!" Sonic said

"Get ready, Sonic. It's time for a fight. A being from outer space- Oh my, that's so rare. Let's see what she can do before I get tired of her." Ryougi said

"Just make sure not to finish her off too harshly," Sonic asks

"Who's this in a kimono with a Japanese sword? She's so serious and menacing... All right, I apologize. I had the wrong person! Can you just let me go home? Hey Master, mind using that Chaos Emerald thing you told me about teleports me out of this place?" X begged

"I don't know, It seems that Ryougi is eagerly waiting for a fight between you. I rather not disrespect her character and let her continue on the battle." Sonic replied

"You're not only courageous but refined. This makes me want to play with you even more. Like Sonic said, Would you do me the favour of a battle, traveller?" Ryougi asks

"Cheeky Hedgehog... Do I only have myself to blame for this!? In that case, I'll do it!" X replied

"Excuse me, Master. I have some business to attend to." Ryougi said

"Not a problem, Ryougi! Go right ahead!" Sonic replied

Moments later, Ryougi lunges towards X at high speed and slashes X with a fast sword slash. X narrowly blocks Ryougi's attack, eyes widen from the speed of Ryougi's attack. Ryougi then unleashes a series of sword slashes at X while X desperately blocks each attack from Ryougi and is pushed further and further away. X wasn't going down easily and jumped away from Ryougu., charging up her sword and lunging towards Ryougi, unleashing a series of fast sword slashes back at her. However, Ryougi with a smile on her face blocks each of X's sword slashes and counters back with a sword swing, deflecting one of X's slashes and knocking her a few inches. Ryougi readied her sword, smiling before attacking X with a series of fast sword slashes, leaving traces of sword slashes behind her and scratch marks around X's body. X couldn't believe the swordsman skills Ryougi had and was about to attack her till Ryougi performs a single, yet powerful sword slash that makes X kneel down in defeat. Ryougi swings her sword once more placing it back into its scabbard.

"*Clapping* Now that's what I like about a show!" Sonic said

"No way... Now that I look closely, this Saber here also emits Altrium... But I didn't lose okay!? Unless I lose to a blonde Sabe, it doesn't count! The next time we meet, it shall be as friends! Please serve me traditional New Year's dishes then! Alright, I'll see you back at Chaldea, Master." X said before running away

"Don't worry X! She'll be with us in no time!" Sonic said

"All that just for her to see the light of day again. I'm disappointed..." Ryougi said

"Basically killing her entirely, right?" Sonic asks

"Yes."

"What's going on? I was just taking a little bathroom break. What'd I miss?" Romani said

"Heroine X who Senpai summoned not too long ago was here and is returning back to Chaldea. And Shiki's personality changed... Huh?" Mash said

"Owww... I stubbed my toe on the corner of this drawer... Wait, the last room is empty? Then I guess our investigation is finished, Sonic. Thanks to you, my work here is done. All of your Servants who had grievances have been removed. Now you can search the building at your leisure." Ryougi said

"Alright! I'll like to see what else is there before we all return to Chaldea. Come on, let's go!" Sonic said


The Boundary of Dawn

Now that every Servant was saved from the apartment, the three make their way to the roof of the apartment complex, getting ready to view things one more before they make their way back to Chaldea

"An emergency exit... but instead of going down, it's going up towards the roof... Quite odd if you ask me." Sonic said

"Didn't Fou find a strange key? We can use that here maybe and finally get to meet the mastermind behind all this." Ryougi said

"Although Mephisto brought the Servants here, he had nothing to do with their so-called mutations." Mash commented

"Fewer questions. More exploring and seeing the truth ourselves." Sonic said

"That's what I like to hear, Master! That's why the Restsiances hold strong with you as the leader. Let's use the key." Ryougi replied

Sonic put's the key inside the keyhole, turns it and pushes the door as the three were now on the roof of the apartment building.

"This would've been a fun place to rest had it not been for the skyway close to us," Sonic said

"Your right, Senpai. You wouldn't be able to tell just from looking at the building." Mash replied

"It reminds me of the roof on the Fujou Building. Hey, you in black over there. Did your so-called "work" end?" Ryougi said

"As it would end. My grudge shall never fade away. I suppose this tower will disappear. Returning to nothingness by the hands of you and that Blue Rodent. But my work is not done yet. The tower of incarceration. The castle of treasures. Until I remember it all, I shall never give up." The Shadow figure said

"Hey, it's that shadow we saw in the woods before. What are you doing in a high place like here, there's nothing else to do here..." Sonic said

"Now's not the time for messing around, Senpai. That is a Heroic Spirit who should not exist in this world!" Mash said

"You're telling me. He's like those Shadow Servants we use in training sessions back at Chaldea." Sonic replied

"Hahahahahahahahahaha! A Heroic Spirit who should not exist in this world, you say! You should have your tongue burned out for such lies, Demi-Servant! Eventually, you will know Heroic Spirits and spirits of the dead are the same things. This is the debt to humanity that the King of Mages has thrust upon me. As long as others exist, there will be both resentment and killing. An indestructible phenomenon immune to death-"

"Can you just get straight to the point and fight us already?" Sonic said

"I see. You have quite the mouth Rodent. I don't sense fear inside you, Rodent. You are stronger than any weak humans that's ever existed. Tell me, how does it feel being the only one from your own world to be here with a bunch of Servants who deep inside, despise you being their Master?" The Shadow figure said

"...Some despise me..." Sonic said

"Sonic..." Ryougi said

"Hahahahahaha! As expected. The truth will always hurt someone. A rodent like you should be viewed as a pathetic weak creature who's not capable of even being Master. You shouldn't even be here in this work to begin with. Let alone be alive."

"Senpai, don't listen to him. We all care about you and appreciate you being our Master. Sure you may be a Hedgehog from another world. But every single one of us loves you!" Mash said

"Sure we may have got off on the wrong foot in the beginning. But as we were together more and more. I realized that you were more than just a talking Hedgehog. But a friend who's there to help out others before themself. That is what makes you special, Master. And I don't regret

"*Smiles* Heh, you sure do know how to make a Hedgehog smile guys. Thank you. Hey Shadow figure, it may be true that some Servants deep inside them, don't quite enjoy a talking hedgehog-like me being around. But that's fine by me! In fact, I learn from those emotions. I try my best to understand others and try to them switch their opinions about someone who's very different from them. No matter how it takes, I can their hate for me to something positive! And with these two right beside, it will be a piece of cake to take you down!" Sonic shouted

"Will always be on your side, Senpai!" Mash said

"No matter what," Ryougi said

"HAHAHAHAHA! Are you capable of destroying an indestructible phenomenon? How pathetic!"

"Of course we are! I did so in the past before. This is nothing special." Sonic replied

"As long as it has an end, I won't hesitate to kill even a god!" Ryougi shouted

"HAHAHAHA! Very well then. Show me, blasphemer! Prove that there is nothing that can exist for eternity!"

"With pleasure."

Sonic pulls a Chaos Emerald and raises it up in the air as it begins to emit light that caused the giant ghost enemy to block its eyes and scream in pain from the bright light. Ryougi and Mash both lunge toward the ghost as Mash swings her shield at it, dealing a good amount of damage to the ghost while Ryougi slashes down the ghost and leaves dealing heavy damage to the ghost. The ghost flung its arms around, not able to withstand the light emitting from the Emerald as Mash jumps right towards the ghost's face and kicks her shield at it, slamming it and causing the skull to show cracks around it. Mash then grabs her shield and ax and kicks the ghost down, knocking it down and hitting the roof, causing the building to shake. Once on the ground, Ryougi slashes the ghost once again, leaving scratch marks around it and causing more cracks around its skull face. Sonic then puts the emerald away as he curls into a ball and spins dashes towards the ghost enemy, hitting its arm and tearing it off of its body. Sonic then turns around and jumps above the ghost as Mash jumps towards him and kicks down on him. Sending him down onto the ghost's other arm and breaking it off from the ghost's body as the ghost roars in pain. Ryougi jumps away as her eyes begin to change colors like a rainbow. Moments later, she crouches and dashes towards the ghost, and slashes it with a knife attack, cutting the ghost in half as its body splits into two and screams in pain, vanishing soon after from Ryougi's deadly move.

"We did it..." Sonic said

"All that's left is that Servant... Ah. The Servant is fleeing! But, in the direction of!"

"Does he intend to get away by jumping off!? Not a smart way to escape!"

Ryougi was about to charge toward the shadow figure and finished them off but Sonic catches her quickly and stops her from proceeding to go on. Ryougi looks back and stares at Sonic with a shocked expression.

"Sonic, what are you doing? I was going to finish that shadow off." Ryougi said

"And you would've died in the process. Ryougi, I know that you want to finish the fight. But I rather see you alive than that shadow having the last laugh. We barely just met each other, and I don't want to see one of my friends sacrifice themselves for my satisfaction. It's not right. Please Ryougi, please understand and don't jump off this building to defeat the shadow figure. It's better off to see you here than down there, gone..." Sonic begged

"...Sonic..."

"Trust me..."

"...Hmph. I understand, Master. I apologize for doing such a dumb decision." Ryougi said

"Thank you, Ryougi. That means a lot."

"...You're not going to pursue me? If you were ready to put your life on the line, I would have shown no hesitation in accepting my fate."

"I had a feeling you were that kind of guy."

All of a sudden, Ryougi throws a knife at the figure, stabbing directly into its heart.

"Ugh!"

"What the?!" Sonic shock

"Shiki, were you hiding another knife!?" Mash shock

"It was all part of my plan, pretend to charge at him. Sonic stop's me and a surprise attack soon after. Women know a thing or two about concealed weapons." Ryougi said

"*Giggles* Even I was surprised by that!" Sonic replied

"Ugh... So those eyes of yours... They'll even "kill" a shadow reflected on the water's surface. Even phantoms are not immune to death. It seems my work ends here. I will see you soon, Rodent..." The figure begins to fade away

"No, wait! Why did you create this kind of place!?" Romani shouted

"Surely you understand. It's the one that you regard as your enemy. However, one of his main goals is to kill this Blue rodent here. My goal differs from his. My life is fueled by my thirst for vengeance. Why should I lend a hand to someone who holds no grudge? That's why I rejected his offer. I gave other Servants the opportunity to take revenge."

"Whoever this person is out there to get me. Tell him that isn't going to happen and instead, I will defeat him first!" Sonic said

"A confident rodent, I see. Hmph, then I shall see what happens when you two finally meet." The shadow said before vanishing away

"I'll be waiting for that day to come..." Sonic said

"...It is finally over. The mastermind who gathered all the ghosts is finally gone. The long night will finally end." Romani said

"We still have no clue who that Servant was. But he said that Sonic will meet him again soon. How does he know?" Mash asks

"Only time will tell, Mash. Only time will tell..." Sonic replied

"I believe he might turn out to be an unexpected trustworthy ally for Sonic. That guy in black might actually love humanity just like Sonic here. Born from hatred speaks of love, and the one born from love speaks of hatred." Ryougi said

"Once I meet this person. It's game on!" Sonic replied

"Hehe... You are showing your cockiness, Master." Ryougi joked
