A Hedgehog Of Chaldea
Camelot
Author's Note: I Read All The Reviews. I Hear You, And I'm Sorry For Rushing This Singularity. Not Including What The Original Story Plot Of This Singularity Was. I'll Be Doing the Singualrity Again From The Beginning Even Longer Than Last Time. Again, I'm Sorry For Making Things The Way It Went.
*Chaldea*
"As you can see, Sonic. That's all you need to know about Mash Kyrielight. Chaldea is a research facility for the Mage's Association. For the Animusphere family. To save Humanity's future, they do experiments such as fusing a Heroic Spirit and a human. Like when you and Mash travelled into Singularity F a while ago. Heroic Spirits could have the power to kill Masters as well. You summoned if you didn't show just how trustworthy and friendly you are towards each Servant. You most likely would've been killed by now. And I would've just stood back and watched everything. You know more information about Heroic spirits than you do, Sonic. Normally a regular human Master would use catalysts for the summoning, but Chaldea used human children instead. Children possessing not only magical circuits fit to summon Heroic Spirits but also innocent souls. Using this method, Chaldea wanted to fuse Heroic Spirits with children and turn them into humans. That was also how Mash was born. She's a human-created through artificial insemination through DNA manipulation. However, fundamentally, she's just a human... A human with excellent magical circuits."
"That Association again... The one you guys prohibited them from finding out about me. To think Mash wasn't born the same as any other child is just mindboggling..." Sonic said
"I'm being serious for once, Sonic. Don't get the wrong idea, Sonic. Don't change the way you look at Mash now. You have seen her as a friend and the first friend that you ever met when arriving here. Keep it that way. Anyway, there was another Servant that was summoned as well within Mash. She proved that humans in this world could fuse with heroic Spirits. But Heroic Spirit initially refused to with a human, for some reason, and the experiments were aborted. And a year later, the previous Director was found dead in his office. It was ruled a suicide based, and Olga came after that. The history between Olga and me was just as painful as expected. How the Director was close to having a breakdown when she found out about her father's plans, thinking Mash would kill her. Marie would scream endlessly. However, even as she was consumed by fear, she never once turned her back on Mash. That was her charm. She was serious about everything and would never do anything immoral, no matter how much she hated it. Thanks to that, Mash was acknowledged as a human and given freedom within Chaldea. Of course, her freedom was only allowed within Chaldea. Everyone, minus you, isn't allowed to leave this facility, including the Servants. However, you may not know when you arrived here. In a conversation, Olga and I had here. She mentioned that although you came from an unknown origin. You and Mash quickly became on good terms with one another. And Mash saw someone like you before, yet she still loves you. No one from Chaldea could pull off such a thing until you showed up. Even before you told me about Chaos Emeralds and how they can use positive and negative energy as a form of power." Romani said
"I see. Is there anything else you need to tell me about on Mash?" Sonic asks
"Yes. Mash is different from other human beings because her lifespan has been predetermined. The designer babies created by Chaldea mostly failed. Her physical body won't age any more than it already has. So she won't die of old age. But she'll expire when her life force dries up. One day, suddenly, like a robot running out of batteries." Romani said
"Mash can die at any time?! What did she do to deserve such a death already determined for her? Just how insane the previous people at Chaldea were when creating someone like Mash!" Sonic shock
"I understand how you feel, Sonic. Even I want to help her as much as possible. I'm sorry, Sonic, everyone here is different than where you came from. It's not as happy going as your home. Anyway, Mash was then selected as a Master's candidate and, in a short time, the top candidate of the A-team. Olga Marie negotiated with the United Nations and got approval to investigate singularities with Masters. That's when you join into the picture, and we found you outside Chaldea freezing to death—Temporarily haunting things when you arrived. And during that incident, the Command Room was damaged, and you were Rayshifted. It was then that Mash became a Demi-Servant. By becoming a Demi-Servant, Mash acquired a more durable body. Even so, her cells have a lifespan. She can remain operational for at most one more year. That's what I wanted to tell you." Romani said
"Thank you for telling me everything, Roman. No matter how Mash was born... She will always be a friend to me. And no one will tell me otherwise." Sonic replied
"Master, Mash Kyrielight is feeling better now. Everything has been checked for any other problems and found nothing. She should be ready to go soon." Nightingale said
"That's amazing to hear! Thank you, Nightingale. I can't wait to see her again! Irisviel, how's the situation with Olga currently?" Sonic asks
"She's still in the same state as before. Don't worry about her. You collect those last two Chaos Emeralds you told me about and will settle things once that is complete." Irisviel replied
"Good job Roman for handling a talk about Mash. If you didn't go through with it, I would've said everything to Sonic instead. You ARE currently the head of Chaldea until Olga wakes up, you know?" Da Vinci said
"Of course, you had to listen to us talk, Da Vinci. Anyway, this talk about Mash is our secret, Sonic." Romani said
"Good day to you, Master. I brought you your favourite food from Mrs. Boudica and Mr. EMIYA." Charlotte Corday said
"Two chilli dogs! Sweet! Thank you, Charlotte! I have been starving for a chilli dog since this morning." Sonic replied
"No need to thank me, Master. I'm just doing my job to help out my Master." Charlotte said
"Alright, now that everything has been out of the way. Let's finally get into business. Sonic, We've pinpointed the Sixth Singularity. And it's The era is the 13th century. To be precise, it's 1273 AD. This Singularity is different. This time, the Singularity itself is becoming a history that should not exist. If we leave it alone, human history will be severely damaged, independent of the restoration of Solomon's incineration. Once again, we can't provide much backup from Chaldea. We have no idea what's going on. Are you still willing to go, Sonic?" Romani asks
"Of course! I have to fix these SIngulrtaires either way." Sonic replied
"Good luck on your adventure, Master. Please don't get into too much danger." Charlotte said
'"Just leave it to me!" Sonic replied
"All right. Then let's begin the Rayshift."
"if you don't mind, I'll also go with Sonic and Mash. I mean, this is an unprecedented Foundation of Humanity EX. Sonic needs the help of a genius." Da Vinci said
"What, are you serious?! Once you Rayshift to the Singularity, you can't return to Chaldea till the Foundation of Humanity is repaired!" Romani said
"Oh, it'll be quick. Besides, remember when Sonic stopped a war on his own?" Da Vinci replied
"*Smiles*
"(Sigh) If you're so insistent, I don't think I can stop you. You are the ideal support for those two..." Romani said
Sixth Singularity: AD 1273 Divine Realm of The Round Table: Camelot
A King From Another World, Unbeknownst By Chaldea, Will Soon Rise Again...
*?*
Eventually, Mash and Da Vinci successfully Rayshifted into Singularity. However, they Rayshifted inside the middle of an utterly windy desert. Both hid behind boulders, preventing them from being blown by the gust of wind.
"Alright, we made it where it's safe..." Mash said
"This can't be Jerusalem! There are sandstorms everywhere! Anyway, did you get in touch with Roman!? He better be working on an apology for this kind of miscalculation!" Da Vinci shouted
"W-Wait? Where's Senpai? Didn't he Rayshift with us in the same coordination?" Mash said
"Yea, where is Sonic, by the way?"
*With Sonic*
Up in the sky, someone yelling can be heard echoing on all sides. It was none other than Sonic who was falling from the sky, alongside two of the chilli dogs as well.
"*Falling Down* WHOOOOAAAAAAA!"
Sonic continues to fall for a few more seconds until he hits face-first onto the sand and creates a small crater. Sonicslolwy looks up and looks around his surrounding, noticing that he was in the middle of the Desert by himself while the gusty wind blew at his face. Then quickly gets up, realizing about the Chilli dogs, runs and catches the first one. He notices the second one falling and quickly slides and grabs the second Chilli Dog before landing on the sand. Sonic took a deep breath, looking at the Chilli Dog for a minute until he noticed something different. He was wearing a familiar armour type on his hand that he had seen before.
"Is this what I think it is? The Gauntlet I wore back at. It can't be. But most importantly, where am I?" Sonic said
Suddenly, something lands next to Sonic, who quickly jumps away from the thing that landed next to it. Sonic couldn't see what landed next to him due to the gust of sand and walked towards it. As he steps closer and closer, he quickly realizes that it is a shape of a sword. Soon enough, Sonic reaches toward the blade as he grabs the handle with his Gauntlet hand and pulls it out of the sand. He then analyzed it as much as possible, but the gust of wind blocked his view.
"*Analyzes The Sword, And Quickly Notices What It Was* Hmph. Great to see you again... Caliburn." Sonic said
Sonic then eats both Chilli Dogs and licks his fingers soon after. He then looks around for Mash and Da Vinci but can't locate them. He shouts their names for a couple of minutes but no sign of them.
"I feel Mash and Da Vinci Rayshifted somewhere safe than me. Oh well, I'm used to terrain like this. And it's a perfect opportunity to do a little warm-up with my sword here. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Sonic said
"..."
"I see. You decided not to talk this time. It's alright. I know it's been a while since we saw each other, but no need to worry, buddy." Sonic said
"..."
"*Looks At His Sword And Notices There Was No Face On It* Oh, loo's, it's just a normal sword. Well, what can I do? At least I won't be judged for my amazing sword skills. Anyway, let's do a little bit of a warm-up." Sonic said
Sonic soon begins running with his sword through the Desert while also training with his and swinging around quickly. During his warm-up session with his sword. He stumbles upon a group of Skull-faced Shadows carrying a woman with them. Sonic, knowing that the woman was in trouble. They decided to help the woman by rushing towards the Skull-faced Shadows and beginning attacking them. The Skull-faced Shadows overlooked Sonic as he slashed every single one of them in a short amount as fast as he could. The leader of the group watch as the Sword-wielding Hedgehog cuts every single member by himself.
"What the?! Who just attacked us suddenly?"
"What's the matter? Didn't expect a Hedgehog with a sword to come and take you down by himself?" Sonic said
"Y-You! I-I remember you from somewhere before! What are you doing here?!"
"Beats me. I should be asking you the same question as well, Hassan." Sonic replied
"Y-You know our names?!"
"Lord Hundred Personas! This is not any other soldier that we have met before. Did you see how fast he was moving?"
"This creature is no Servant... Yet he took down a good amount of our members all by himself. Are you underestimating us? Mocking us?" Hundred Personas said
"Well, if that's the way you want to see it. I don't see why not." Sonic replied
"Tch... You have quite the attitude for someone like you. With that sword you hold, you don't look like you don't work for Ozymandias." Hundred Personas said
"I don't know who that is. But I can tell you that I came here to solve a problem with this whole ordeal. *Gets Into A Fighting Stance With His Sword*."
"Hmph! I don't have time for you, Rodent. But remember this, the next we meet each other. Will be ready for you!" Hundred Personas said before running away very fast
Sonic watches as the Skull-faced Shadows run away, leaving him alone in the Desert again. Sonic then looks toward the woman who was tied up and gagged. Sonic walks toward the woman, cuts the ropes, and gags off her as she slowly opens her eyes and looks up at Sonic.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. Thank you- Huh?!"
"That face of hers means trouble is coming..." Sonic thought
"No need to be shocked. I'm here to rescue from those Skull-faced Shadows." Sonic said
"A talking creature!? Who are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you treat the Pharaoh Nitocris like this!"
"First of all, names Sonic The Hedgehog. I don't even know who the heck you are. And second of all, are those Bunny ears on you?" Sonic replied
"Are you making a mockery of me? You are the one who drugged me and dragged me outside the Temple!" Nitocris said
"Hey, why are you accusing me of something I didn't do?! All I have here is this sword and a couple of chilli dogs before!" Sonic replied
"Yelling at me as well, huh? Mirror of the Underworld, appear! Please pay this back a thousandfold for the humiliation they have caused!"
Moments later, Nitocris summons a Sphinx more giant than Sonic as it charges toward him. Sonic lunges towards the Sphinx. Hones at its face and delivers a hasted combo of fast and powerful slashes. The Sphinx attempts to attack Sonic with its claws, but Sonic blocks the attacks with his sword and counters, backstabbing his sword into the Sphinx's head and dragging himself down, causing massive damage to it and jumping away from him. The Sphinx then begins charging toward Sonic, jumps at him and attempts to put his giant claws down on him, but Sonic places his sword in front of him and blocks the oncoming attack from the Sphinx. He then uses his strength to push back the Sphinx and counters back with a somersault attack that slashes the Sphinx multiple times before performing his Boost skill and slicing the Sphinx's head off perfectly as it falls onto the sand and vanishes.
"Impossible! He defeated the Sphinx without even trying! No one can defeat the Sphinx all by themselves. Who is this creature?" Nitocris shock
"Is that all you got for me? Come, a swordsman like me isn't satisfied with just one." Sonic replied
"H-How?! How can such a creature defeat a Sphinx in minutes without breaking a sweat?." Nitocris said
"Quite easy to answer. I'm used to fighting beasts like those! Especially fighting gods!" Sonic replied
"The noble beast Lord Ozymandias entrusted to me... It's been completely eradicated from the Earth... J-Just, who do you think you are?" Nitocris shock
"Like I said before, the names Sonic The Hedgehog! Remember what I said earlier? I saved you from those guys, and yet this is how I'm treated soon after," Sonic replied
"D-Did you happen to be here out of coincidence? And you saved me, despite not even knowing my name?" Nitocris asks
"Would it be better if I told you I saved my world from being destroyed on my own before? And this sword I hold right saved an entire kingdom before!" Sonic replied
"HA! I knew it! You bear the sword of the knights from the Holy City! Therefore, I cannot trust you!" Nitocris shouted
"Wait, did you just say Knights of the Holy City?! Wait a minute, am I really where I think I am!" Sonic shock
"Hmmm. Your swordsmanship is unique compared to others I have seen before Blue Animal. Are you the one they call, Sonic The Hedgehog?" A Voice said
"Huh? Who's there?" Sonic said
"Please don't get scared. I am only here to help. I am Lucius, a Servant without a Master. I witness your battle against a Divine Beast. Never seen anyone able to such a beast on their own before."
"Lucius..."
"I remember a name like that before, but I have never seen Lucius before until now." Sonic thought
"Listen, awoken Pharaoh. The incarnation of the god Horus, Nitocris. Sonic here indeed saved you. I witnessed it myself, after all. He's been known for saving unknown people from danger and has done it again. He managed to save you before the Old Man of the Mountain could capture you and did it without second-guessing. If you still refuse to believe it, then I will have no choice but to fight alongside him against you. I have no problem with that." Lucius said
"I... Uh..."
"Also, let me ask you this. Do you think someone like Sonic is part of the knights of the Holy City and has a reason to abduct you? I saw him falling from the sky and was confused about his location." Lucious said
"H-He did see my fall from the sky?" Sonic said
"...I guess you are right... There's no reason for someone like Sonic here to abduct me with no reason after all. Please forgive me, Sonic. Sorry for my short temper. Is there anything I can do for you to show my act of forgiveness?" Nitocris asks
"Well, all I want is to know where my friends are. And a location where they can rest after going through the Desert." Sonic asks
"So you aren't alone here as well? Apologies, Sonic, but I don't exactly know where your friends are at. But if you want them to find you. I suggest we go to an oasis nearby, there. They can track you down and reunite with them again." Nitocris said
"Sounds good to me!" Sonic replied
"But first, Oh winds, I release you from your duties. By the name of Nitocris, give us a view into the heavens!"
All of a sudden, the gust of wind suddenly died down as the three were now able to get clear of their surroundings.
"Hey! This is much better than before!"
"All you need to do now is head west. You should reach the grand Temple in about two hours." Nitocris said
"I can make it there in two seconds!" Sonic replied
"Well, I guess I'll be taking my leave now. I'll see you sometime, Sonic." Lucius said before walking away
"Senpai!"
"Sonic!"
Sonic turns around and notices Mash and Da Vinci running toward him as fast as they can. Sonic smiles as Mash runs toward him and gives him a big hug.
"Senpai! Where we're you?! We have been looking for you everywhere! I'm glad I'm okay!" Mash said
"Great to see you again, buddy! It seems like something caused an error for me and placed me into different coordinates." Sonic replied
"Well, as long as you are safe. Then it shouldn't be anything to worry about. Wait a minute, is that a sword you are holding?" Da Vinci said
"Sword?" Mash asks
"U-Um... Yea, it's a word, alright. Do you like it?" Sonic said
"S-Senpai?! How did you get a sword like that in the middle of the Desert?! And is that a gauntlet you are wearing as well?" Mash said
"You might not believe it, but these two appeared when I arrived here. I don't know why, but that's what happened here." Sonic replied
"You arrived with those next to you. I had never heard of anything doing such a thing, yet it happened to you. I may be smart, but this thing isn't what I have in mind." Da Vinci said
"That sword looks different than the ones you used before..." Mash said
"Could it be something related to this Singularity here?" Da Vinci said
"Will figure out that later, right now, let's this opportunity and get out of this desert!" Sonic replied
"Sounds good to me, Master," Mash said
"Anyway, thank you, Nitocris, for not trying to kill me. We bid you farewell." Sonic said
"Wait, you're already leaving here? B-But who's going to take me back to the great Temple? Did you forget I was kidnapped here? They'll realize I've been abducted if I don't return by evening! How disgraceful!" Nitocris said
"Hey, don't worry, Nitocris. We can take you there in just under a second. *Pulls Out A Chaos Emerald*" Sonic said
"Oh, pardon my rudeness. My name is Mash Kyrielight. This is Da Vinci. And this is our Master... You may be wondering why my Master is a talking animal. I can assure you he comes in peace and wants to help out as much as possible." Mash introducing herself
"Interesting. Completely weird, but I'll just jump over that and forgive you, Sonic, for treating you harshly. Now then, I bestow upon you the duty of escorting me. Protect me until we reach the grand Temple."
"You got it! Chaos Control!" Sonic shouted
*At The Grand Temple*
A couple of seconds later, Sonic, Mash, Da Vinci, and Nitocris teleported in front of the Grand Temple.
"Oh my, that little gem can teleport us in front of the Grand Temple!" Nitocris shock
"Isn't it cool what a single Chaos Emerald can do? Imagine all seven of them." Sonic replied
"..."
"Anyway, let's get to this Grand Temple thing here." Sonic walking
"What a weird animal... Where exactly are you from? Are you mountain people or citizens of the Holy City? And besides, what exactly is a Master? I heard the Pharaoh mention that term a few times..."
"Aren't you a Servant? How do you not know about a MAster?" Mash asks
"I was summoned by the great Pharaoh... the Sun King Ozymandias. He ordered me to work for him. I don't know what it means to be a Servant. I'm a pharaoh first and foremost. Being a Heroic Spirit comes second." Nitocris replied
"Queen Nitocris. You're in charge of these sandstorms... Well, not just them, but the protection of the Desert as a whole. You haven't been given any other knowledge at all."
"I wouldn't say none at all. I am aware of the state of the war. Pharaoh Ozymandias rose to power not long after being summoned to this era. This territory of Egypt is proof of that. For normal Heroic Spirit summons, it's only the individual. The hero. However, Pharaoh Ozymandias was different. Anyway. The Pharaoh showed us his right to rule as King. However, some opposed him. The Saracen mountain people..." Nitocris said
"*Stops Walking* The Saracen Mountain?" Sonic confuse
"Yes. That is correct. They are the ones opposing the King of Egypt." Nitocris replied
"And the citizens of the Holy City you mentioned. The people of Jerusalem." Da Vinci said
"Did you just say Jerusalem? That doesn't exist anymore! The Holy Land was destroyed!" Nitocris said
"To be honest with you, Nitocris. I have no idea what that means at all. I came from another world and had this sword in my grip." Sonic replied
"J-Just, who exactly are you people?! I knew I couldn't allow you to enter the great Temple! Your actions will be what decides that! Come, envoys of the King! Ascertain the truth of these people!" Nitocris shouted
"Ah, more training sessions with my sword here. Thanks." Sonic replied
Moments later, a giant Sphinx appears in front of Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci. Sonic smiles as he gets in his fighting stance and lunges toward the Sphinx, unleashing a series of sword slashes toward the Sphinx's head and dealing tons of damage. Sonic then finishes it off by stabbing his sword into the Sphinx's head and kicking it up in the air. The Sphinx regains its motion as it runs towards Sonic, jumps at him and attempts to slash him, but Da Vinci jumps right at the Sphinx and punches it with her Gauntlet and pushing it away from Sonic. Mash then rushes towards the Sphinx, jumps right at it, throws her shield at its face, and knocks it down onto the sand. Sonic then jumps right at the Sphinx and slashes off its wings as it rolls on the ground in pain. Sonic and Da Vinci both uppercut the Sphinx in the face, sending it to the air as Mash jumps at the Sphinx and performs an overhead axe kick that sends the Spinx down and stabbing itself into Sonic's sword before vanishing soon after.
"Oh, come on, Nitocris, there has to be something for you that can give me another challenge," Sonic said
"That was amazing, Senpai! You defeated the Sphinx! Those sword skills of yours were something I have never seen before!" Mash shouted
"Two Sphinx that creature has taken down. Something tells me that he has fought creatures like this before..." Nitocris thought
*Grand Temple*
Finally, the four arrive at the Grand Temple where it was filled with beautiful structures, designs, and a giant Pyramid on the other side of the Temple.
"We finally made it, huh? Look's alright, I guess..." Sonic said
"This isn't something I have never seen back in the other world before..." Sonic thought
"So that's the palace of the Sun King Ozymandias. The legendary shining temple complex, Ramesseum Tentyris!" Mash said
"Sonic, I understand that this doesn't mean anything to you, but all I can say is that this is important in our world's history. No wonder Romani doesn't give you lectures about these types of stuff since you don't understand them." Da Vinci said
"Well, all I can say from this is that it's all Desert and stuff like this. But with things related to this. I don't know a single thing about it. So I suggest we just get inside and see who awaits us." Sonic said
"Before we do enter, Any transmissions from Roman?" Da Vinci asks
"Our connection to the Doctor hasn't been restored yet," Mash replied
"This proves my hypothesis. The Rayshift brought us to the 13th-century Middle East. That's for certain. However, this isn't entirely 13th-century Earth. My staff can measure magical energy and... The quality of magical energy has changed since we came here. The magical energy here is much older. Nitocris said that this was the territory of Egypt. This Desert is from the BC era. In this Sixth Singularity, the world ruled by Ozymandias has been transported over entirely. Space-time itself is in disarray. That's the reason why we couldn't Rayshift to Jerusalem and why we can't contact Chaldea now." Da Vinci explaining
"Space-time in disarray? Where have I heard that before? Anyway, no matter where we are. We're going to fix this Singularity!" Sonic replied
"That's what I like to hear from you, Senpai. This may not be the Holy Land, but I will soon figure everything out with patience." Mash said
"Let's head to the great Temple of Ozymandias! He should be a fussy, handsome boy if legends are true!" Da Vinci said
*Inside The Temple*
"So these are the travellers," Ozymandias said
"*Tapping His Feet* So... this is King himself, huh? Kinda anti-climatic, I would say..." Sonic commented
"So you've finally come, mysterious travellers! Having to defeat the Sphinx, you have permission for an audience with the King! Now, bow down before him! If you do, His Majesty may awaken from his weariness and speak to you!" Nitocris said
Mash and Da Vinci bowed to the King while Sonic stood there, still tapping his feet and arms folded.
"Hey, you! What are you doing? Bow down to the King!" Nitocris shouted
"Why would I bow down to someone like him? I don't even know him. I bow down to no one." Sonic replied
"H-How rude! Talking with that attitude of yours! He is the greatest Pharaoh. The most courageous, most authoritative Pharaoh! He is fit to be a god... He is Pharaoh Ozymandias! Subjugator and saviour of the land at the end of the world! Our ideal King!" Nitocris shouted
"Interesting, tell me more," Sonic replied
"How unusual, Nitocris. It seems you've taken quite a liking to them. Haha, how joyous. Truly joyous." Ozymandias said
"I-I apologize, Pharaoh. To utter your True Name in such a loud manner... I regret it thoroughly." Nitocris said
"Now then. Are you a traveller from a foreign nation? My name is Ozymandias. I am a god. I am the sun and the Pharaoh who rules this land. And tell me, Blue. Who exactly are you? I have never seen anyone like you roaming around before. Let alone hold a sword." Ozymandias asks
"I'm glad you ask! Names Sonic The Hedgehog! I'm here to repair Humanity from falling apart. You could say stuff like this is normal to me." Sonic replied
"So I heard. You are the mysterious creature honed from another world to save this world. You have repaired five Singularities thus far. And now you appear here in the sixth wedge... this Holy Land of sand. I am already aware of all of that. I hold the Holy Grail which you seek." Ozymandias said
"Really, huh? Well, mind if I can take it from you?" Sonic asks
"..."
"..."
"I may know that you are from another world. But I didn't know you'll be this annoying. I'm suprise, to be honest." Ozymandias said
"Pharaoh, what exactly... No, um, do you intend to punish these people?" Nitocris asks
"Their objective is the Holy Grail. The Grail now belongs to me. That means they will eventually try to kill me. I have no intention of letting them live."
"Are you saying I brought your enemies before you, Pharaoh?" Nitocris said
"Indeed. Especially the Blue animal here. He's the greatest threat to walk in this land. O Master of Chaldea! Humanity in this era collapsed long before you arrived! One side defending and one side invading. A merciless slaughter between two incompatible nations. In the end, one side would have claimed the Holy Grail, and the Holy Land would have become a seedbed for a Demon God Pillar. —That is, if you had arrived in this land just a little earlier." Ozymandias said
"But that never happened... that means the war to capture the Holy Land never occurred, correct? After all, the Grail is in your possession, King Ozymandias. Someone on the Crusaders' side likely summoned you. And then you naturally opposed them, taking the Holy Land as your own. Is this territory of Egypt something you summoned?" Da Vinci asked
"You seem to be quite knowledgeable... Who exactly are you?" Ozymandias said
"She's Leonardo Da Vinci. A friend I have known for quite a while now. She's amazing for helping Mash and us on our adventure." Sonic replied
"One of the greatest geniuses in human history. It is said that there is a fine line between genius and insanity! To answer your question, Da Vinci, I am simply the holder and protector of the Holy Grail! I have no interest whatsoever in the Holy Land! The one who turned this era into a unique Singularity and utterly destroyed all of Humanity. He sits on the throne in what was once Jerusalem, that sacred city devoid of all hope. ...Which is where you're heading. They call him the Lion King. The infamous pure-white Lion King!" Ozymandias said
"Arthur..." Sonic thought
*Later*
The three we're heading out of the Temple, ready to continue with their journey.
"To think that we would be treated to an extravagant meal... After all that, we were told to leave and chased out." Da Vinci said
"Guests are to be given hospitality. Obviously. We understand the hardships of long journeys. Go and experience the cruel reality of this world. I'm sure you will return to take my head eventually. At which point, you won't be treated as guests." Ozymandias said
"Sounds good to me. I can't meet you again and defeat you!" Sonic replied
*Outside The Grand Temple*
"Alright, since Nitocris has left us with her Sphinx pet or whatever. I think it's time for us to go to the Holy City. Do you have the supplies ready, Da Vinci?" Sonic asks
"It's all set. Please, if you don't mind. May I do the honours next?" Da Vinci replied
"Honors?"
"Chaos Control. I wanna give it a shot and see how things go!" Da Vinci said
"Interesting. Well, since I trust you and the Servants more than anyone else. I'll allow you to do so. *Hands Over The Chaos Emerald Towards Da Vinci* Just stay focused and think of a place to teleport us." Sonic replied
"Got it! *Closes Her Eyes And Focuses As The Green Emerald Emits Light For A Few Seconds* Chaos Control!" Da Vinci shouted
*Outside The Desert*
A few seconds later, Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci teleported to the middle of nowhere, where the floor was dry and covered in flames while surrounded by mountains.
"Uhh... Da Vinci... Where did you exactly teleport us?" Sonic confuse
"This is the 13th century Middle East?" Mash looking around
"Air temperature 48 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 0 percent, atmospheric mana density 0.3 milligrams... This is awful. This isn't an environment for humans to live in. This is the King of Mages' work. He created a Singularity by disturbing the Foundation of Humanity. As a result, human history has become unstable. That's the reason why King Ozymandias doesn't use the Holy Grail. This land would fall to ruin even without using the Grail." Da Vinci said
"Food... They have food."
"And water... And appetizing women. Heh heh... They must have come running from the Sun King's man-eating beasts... Heh heh, hahaha! Thank you... Thank you... Thank you for surviving, for me!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"No way... These people are human!" Mash shock
"Sonic. To take down each. You must wield your sword, Master. The time has come to discard your innocence." Da Vinci said
"I won't kill them. I'll just do what I usually do!" Sonic replied
Sonic quickly dashes towards the Soulless people, runs around them and karate-chops their legs numerous times in different locations, creating a numbing effect that causes them to fall and feel numb. Sonic then dashes back with Mash and Da Vinci as he watches the Soulless people rolling on the ground in pain from his many karate chops from Sonic.
"Let me guess. You did the Karate chop attack." Da Vinci asks
"That was the only thing I could come up with. Besides, it's pretty effective, as you can see now." Sonic replied
"Well, that's pretty significant too. I have nothing to scold you about. But we need to get moving. There could be more of them lurking about." Da Vinci said
"Before we go. I think it's a pretty good idea to leave these guys food. We have plenty for them." Sonic replied
"Yes, I vote in favour!" Mash said
"Oh, Sonic, try to help as much as you can. Very well. You do what you need to do." Da Vinci said
Soon enough, Sonic and Mash began handing out supplies to the Soulless people, who greatly appreciated them for doing something they never should've done in the first place. Once everyone was given supplies with tons of food, the soulless people waved goodbye to Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci as they headed towards the Holy City. The three also waved goodbye before they began running out as well.
*Later*
"*Appears* Thank goodness. I finally got you on the line! Are you all okay!? Did any unexpected accidents happen again this time!?" Romani asked
"Oh, the usual for all of us here. Nothing special at this point, to be honest." Sonic replied
"Huh, seems like hopping Singularity to Singularity has wandered you down a bit. It's alright, just this and the next Singularity, and we should be all done for a long rest. Anyway, sorry we couldn't provide any service for a few hours. What's the situation over there?" Romani replied
"Right, I'll report the details about what happened so far. After the Rayshift, we..."
*Mash Explains Everything To Romani On What Happened For The Past Few Hours*
"Egypt from the BC era is in the 13th-century Middle East? No wonder the transmissions failed. Still, King Ozymandias, huh... Again with the troublemakers showing up. Ozymandias mentioned a Lion King, right?" Romani said
"Lion King, for me, is King Arthur. There's no denying that. I can't think of anyone else besides King Arthur." Sonic replied
"Wait a minute, is that sword on your hand, Sonic? Where did you get that?!" Romani shock
"Umm... This may be a suprise but I rayshifted with this sword next to me. Don't ask me how, though, because I don't know anything about this." Sonic replied
"Really? That's strange. How can something like that happen to you? No Master would suddenly rayshift with something with them, let alone a sword." Romani said
"Could be related to the Singularity, but that has to wait. We barely just arrived in the Singualrity, and we already have enough things to focus on." Da Vinci said
"Wait, I've picked up traces of life! There's a powerful Servant signature very close to you!"
"Master, what should I do?" Mash asks
"Let's hide behind that giant dead tree there." Sonic pointed out
Moments later, Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci hid behind the giant tree and watched what was happening from a distance.
"...How humiliating and regrettable. It all ends here." Intoxicating Smoke said
"...I'm sad. I'm so unfortunate, Old Man of the Mountain. The frightened people of the Holy Land follow you. And you remain behind to protect them. If you do not protect the worthless, you suffer the loss of what is worthy... I find that far too sad..."
"Who the heck is that?" Sonic whispers
"An Assassin-class Servant and an Archer-class Servant, perhaps? They seem to be hostile to each other. Behind the Assassin are about 40 civilians. The Archer, on the other hand..." Mash whispers
"Why does he have his eyes closed anyway? How can he know the direction where they are facing?" Sonic replied
"...Worthy? You say I have more worth than them?"
"Indeed. Even with my bow, capturing you would be troublesome."
"Then we'll make a deal. I offer you my life. In exchange, allow the people to go free." Intoxicating Smoke said
"What exactly do you mean by allowing them to go free? I am not permitted to withdraw... My most sincere apologies. I cannot leave this place until I capture all of you..."
"...then I will accept your right Arm and legs in exchange for my head. My head may be pitiful, but it should be a good match as compensation. Run, my brethren! Cursed Arm in the East will accept you!" Intoxicating Smoke said before killing herself and falling down
"Ah... Thank you, thank you so very much!" The Refugees said before running off
"Well done. Very impressive. However."
"Don't be an idiot!" A Voice said
"Huh?"
Moments later, Sonic suddenly appears behind the Archer while rapidly spinning his leg in a circle before kicking the Archer in the head and sending the Archer flying far away from the sight and not letting any Refugees get hurt by the attack. Sonic watched as the Refugees continued to run for their lives towards
"Senpai!" Mash shouted
"Are you out of your mind, Sonic? What you did there was suicide!" Da Vinci said
"I rather let myself be killed than see any of those innocent people die. Now, I need to follow them and ensure they arrive at their destination safely." Sonic replied
"But we can't go without you towards the Holy City," Mash said
"It's okay, using my speed. I can create after images to look like I'm in two locations. Trust me. I know what I'm doing, guys. Your lives are more important than mine. Now come on, *Creates An After Image Of Himself* Let's do this!" Sonic said
*A Day Later, Night Time*
After a day of running from the East and protecting the refugees from attacks from safe distances, the three finally arrive at the Holy City, where an enormous refugee camp is set up at the city's gate.
"So, this is the Holy City? But as I like to call this place. Camelot." Sonic said
"Such massive white walls, as if to reject anything foreign... That's. the Holy City?" Mash said
"Take a look over there at the center of the wall... A bunch of refugees have gathered there... Somewhere around a thousand people, perhaps?" Da Vinci said
"Maybe they are waiting for that Ritual of Holy Selection. You should go along with them. As long as you're inside the Holy City, there should be an opportunity to see the Lion King." Romani said
"Hold on, Roman. We can't just let Sonic walk into the crowd and expect us to be greeted with warm welcomes. Besides, he's a talking Hedgehog with a sword on his back." Da Vinci said
"Great. What are we going to do now?" Mash said
"Maybe we can hide behind that rock for the time being and see what happens later. Not a bad idea if you ask me." Sonic said
"*Jumps From That Rock* Heh heh heh... Did you come from the Desert? It looks like you're here for the Ritual of Holy Selection. You should all turn back. However, that'll be after you drop all your possessions." A person said
"Sorry buddy, we have no idea what that is, and we are just to look around for a little," Sonic replied
"...What the?! A talking Blue rodent with a sword behind him? Who are you?! Stay away from me, you creep!" The man shouted
"Hey?! Calm down, buddy, and I'm not here to hurt anyone! I'm just here like the rest of you guys as well." Sonic trying to calm the man down
"S-Stay away from me, Rodent! I don't know what your intentions are here for, but we won't bother you! Everyone, scatter!"
"Yeah! On our way, Boss Saruhan!"
Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci watch as the Merchants begin running away from the refugee camp as fast as they can.
"Great, just great... Now my appearance will be a downfall of this Singularity journey. I'm sick of people calling me Rodent each time they meet me for the first time. That includes the Servants I summon each time." Sonic commented
"Don't worry about it too much, Sonic. Eventually, everyone will figure out that you're a hero like every time you complete a singularity." Romani said
"Wait, let's get to the Holy City. It looks like something might happen soon." Da Vinci said
"Yeah, everyone is careful. Hide yourselves under cloaks, and do your best not to stand out! Especially you, Sonic, keep that sword hidden until you need it for something." Romani said
*A Couple Minutes Later*
The three disguised themselves with cloaks as they began to make their way toward the Gate of the Holy City as quietly as possible. Sonic had his head, trying his best to hide from being noticed that he was a talking Hedgehog and prevent a panic.
"Alright, you three. I'll give you the details about what's going on. There are highly concentrated magical energy signatures around you. They're encircling the refugees." Romani said
"It seems to be the knights who came out of the Holy City. They're silently guarding the refugees..." Mash replied
All of a sudden, the night sky became daytime in a second. Sonic notices, and their eyes widen from the sudden change of time.
"Uhhh... why the sudden change of daytime? Is it already daylight savings day?" Sonic said
"...What's going on? How did the sunrise without anyone noticing?"
"This is a miracle from the Lion King... A Gift he bestowed upon me with the words, "May the sun always bless you."
"A Knight, huh..." Sonic said
"Who can that be?" Mash said
"Sir Gawain! Sir Gawain of the Knights of the Round Table! The ceremony's starting! We can enter the Holy City!"
"They've started admitting the refugees!? But I've detected an enormous Servant signature!"
"How could something like this happen? We need to get away from here. Now. We can still make it. They call this Holy Selection?" Da Vinci said
"Hold it, Da Vinci. Just wait patiently." Sonic said
"I thank you for gathering here in the Holy City of your own accord. Humanity's time has ended, and this small world is marching toward ruin. His Majesty has cast judgment. There is no place for people to live on this Earth, on any land. That is, except for our Holy City of Camelot. Our Holy City is a complete, perfect, pure-white millennial kingdom. Beyond this gate awaits an ideal world." Gawain said
"I knew it! I knew this was Camelot. However, for some reason. It's completely different than the one I've been to before." Sonic thought
" I'm sure you underwent a long, difficult journey to arrive here. Our King accepts people of all races and religions, without exception. However, before that, you must receive his pardon."
"There's someone on top of the main gate!?"
"*Looks Up And Eyes Widen* I-Is that who I think it is?!" Sonic said
"There are few who can be led to the end of this world. The roots of humanity rot and fall. And thus, I must choose. Those souls who are clean of filth. Those souls were uncorrupted by any wickedness. People born of eternal, immovable purity."
"What's this light!? It's so bright, but it's not blinding at all!?"
"Mommy, you're all shiny!"
"The Holy Selection is over. Allow only those three to enter. Go and collect them, Sir Gawain."
"...As you wish. Everyone, I'm most sorry. However, this is all done to preserve the world of man. The King has ordered your purification. Now your Holy Punishment begins."
The Knights guarding the Refugees soon begin to take out their weapons from their scabbards, ready to kill the refugees. The refugees all began to panic and started to flee.
"Yep, that's enough for me. Let's do this, team! *Removes Cloak And Takes Out His Sword*" Sonic said
Sonic then jumps over the fleeing Refugees as he hones to one of the Enforcement Knights and unleashes a series of sword slashes towards them. Caught by the suprise of the sudden and fast attacks, the Enforcement Knight couldn't block in time and took great hits from Sonic. The other Enforcement Knights that were ready to kill the refugees noticed Sonic fighting one of the Knights, and all decided to skill that and head over to Sonic. Sonic finishes the Enforcement Knight with a readying stance and charges his sword at chest level before thrusting his sword forward and sending the Knight falling towards the city wall and hitting it. Soon after, Sonic notices more Enforemcent Knights heading toward him with their weapons drawn towards him. Before they can rush towards him and attack him, Mash throws his at one of the Knights, knocking them while kicking another one in the face, dropping them as well. Da Vinci appears behind one of the Enforcement Knights and throws a strong punch at the Knight from the back of the head very hard, dropping them onto the ground. The three then continue fighting off the Enforcement Knights while the refugees are making their escape from the gate. Some of the refugees thanked the three for saving them before running off to protect themselves as the three continued to fight off the Enforcement Knights. Minutes go by as the three continue to take down the Enforncement Knights until eventually, all of them were taken care of and not a single Knight was around.
"Wait! Those three just saved everyone! Thank you, heroes!"
"We did it! Due to Sonic's presence and his sword. The enemies soon turn their focus on him and do not kill a single Refugee. *Notices The Knights Vanishing* The fallen knights are vanishing. What exactly are they?" Mash said
"Their magical responses show they are human but also close to Heroic Spirits. They're like living weapons, forged using powerful spells. This isn't the work of a human being. Is that Lion King a Heroic Spirit!?" Romani said
"Report to Sir Agravain. Servants are obstructing us. As well as an unknown Swordsman."
"I've detected multiple enemy reinforcements! Enemy signatures are rushing straight to your position! What!? I've confirmed a magical energy signal from another direction! You're hitting the west, and someone is hitting the East!" Romani shouted
"Sonic, can your tornado move stop the incoming Knights?" Da Vinci asks
"Trust me. No matter the size of those Knights, a tornado with just enough speed can pick anything. It's been like this since I was just a little Hedgehog back home." Sonic replied
Moments later, several more Enfromcent Knights headed straight towards the group with their weapons ready. Before they can even reach the three, Sonic uses his speed to a powerful vortex of wind that sucks in the Enforcement Knights while dropping their weapons. Sonic then stops spinning around and wags his finger soon after. As they were spun around inside the vortex for a few seconds, the vortex blew them all away from the gate and into the sky, far away from the Holy City.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Sonic said
"For such three individuals causing an uprising. It seems there were still fighters amongst the heretics. I am Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table. As one entrusted with the responsibility of delivering Holy Punishment, I shall judge you." Gawain said
"Sir Gawain! He's the one called the Knight of the Sun and wields the second sacred sword! King Arthur's knights, the Knights of the Round Table, annihilated the Crusaders and built a Holy City upon the Holy Land!" Romani said
"No need for introductions, Roman. I know who this guy is as well as you." Sonic said
"What a strange-looking creature. You even forged your sword just to cause an uprising. You must be the defenders of Humanity. How unfortunate. We might have found a path of coexistence if our meeting differed." Gawain said
"Look's like he's asking for a fight," Sonic said
"Gawain is the wielder of the sister sword of Excalibur, a Noble Phantasm second only to King Arthur's... Not only that, but it's daytime now, right!? In that case, you have no way to win! Get out of there!" Romani said
"A Knight never flees his foes, Roman. No matter how strong they are. I will always accept their battle. You ready, Mash?" Sonic asks
"Entering combat, Master!" Mash replied
"You cannot escape. It's already impossible for you to withdraw on your own."
Sonic, Mash, and Gawain lunge toward each other as Sonic and Gawain clang swords together. The two then jump away from each other as they again thrust towards each other and clang swords. As the two wee clanging swords towards one another/ Mash dashes in to swing her shield at Gawain but quickly jumps away and misses him. Gawain then attacks Mash with powerful sword attacks, but Mash blocks each attack with her shield. Each force of the sword attack pushes her back further and further away as it continues. Sonic then performs a somersault spin towards Gawain and attempts to shred him, but Gawain blocks the attack and pushes Sonic away. Sonic skids on the ground, stopping himself from returning as he lunges toward Gawain, who kicks Mash away and lunges towards Sonic. Gawain leaps in front of Sonic and swings down his sword at him but Sonic side-steps around, jumps while spinning and slashes Gawain in his armour, pushing him back from the force of the attack. Mash quickly throws a shield at Gawain, hitting him, jumps right at him and kicks him in the face, but that isn't enough as Gawain grabs Mash's leg and throws her away. Sonic catches her and safely puts her back on the ground as she runs towards her shield and then at Gawain again, swinging her shield at him as much as possible. But as always, Gawain blocks each of Mash's attacks easily and counters back with a sword slash that pushes her away from him. Sonic then appears above Gawain and attempts to stab Gawain but quickly blocks it. However, that attack was a fluke as Sonic disappeared. Soon enough, Sonic appears behind Gawain and begins to unleash strong sword slashes that tear Gawain's cape in some areas before finishing off with a downward sword slash and knocking him away. Gawain turns around to see Sonic and Mash standing and wanting the fight, and the three hone at each other and continue fighting. The two continued to battle it out for a few minutes and try to defeat one another, but everyone was on the same level of strength. Expect for Mash, as each minute goes by, her stamina decreases rapidly, and she uses more Magical Energy to continue the fight but can't handle the force of Gawain's attack.
"It's no good, Master! My attacks are meaningless against him during the day!" Mash said
"Hold your position, Mash. We can still do this. I've dealt with this person before!" Sonic replied
"Sonic, listen to what Mash is saying. It's not just that her strength is dwindling. Mash is hardly standing up to Gawain at all. She'll be in danger if this keeps up. I understand you want to continue the fight, but not all of this is about you." Da Vinci said
"I see. Hey, you. What exactly is this whole Selection thing?" Sonic asks
"Normally, I would not even deem you worthy of a response... But seeing how dedicated you seem to kill me. I shall answer your question. What is your name?" Gawain asks
"Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog." Sonic replied
"Many thanks. Since you claim you have heard of me before. I won't be introducing myself again. What we seek is the completion of a utopia, untainted and unstained. The only proper way for humans to live is to obey the laws of the Lion King, which will create a pure-white millennial kingdom. To do that, we select perfect humans. Those not set are purged. That is all we're trying to do. We act following our justice. You decided to reject that. You denied the Lion King's Holy Selection." Gawain said
"Like I was going to follow a Knight's order in the first place," Sonic replied
"You have now made enemies of the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table. Whether I defeat you now, or another Knight of the Round defeats you later... Either way, your fate is sealed. I have no intention of causing you suffering. Accept your destiny, and let this end quickly."
Seconds later, Gawain lunges at Sonic and swings his sword down at him, but Sonic blocks the attack with his sword as the two are rattling and trying to push each other off their grip.
"Why? Why must you intend to fight someone like me? You defeated all the Enforcement Knights and saved everyone from being killed. Why are you holding back all of a sudden against me?" Gawain asks
"Heh, no reason. Besides, I enjoy a battle that is even. Especially like this. I could do this all day if I wanted to." Sonic replied
"Then, I have no choice but to use my-"
Suddenly, someone rushes towards the two and attacks Gawain, pushing him away from Sonic.
"That's enough of this, Sir Gawain," Lucius said
"What the?! You're..."
"Hey, it's you again, Lucius! Glad you can join the party!" Sonic said
"Save the greetings for later! Devote your attention to the enemy before us! I shall destroy his Gift as a Knight of the Round Table. You have nothing to fear from Sir Gawain." Lucius replied
"Like if I was scared of him in the first place. Come on, let's show this Knight a good battle." Sonic said
"Switch On - Airgetlám!"
"Impossible! Unbelievable! Why are you here!? And more importantly! Sir Bedivere! You are a Knight of the Round Table! Do you intend to commit treason against your king!?" Gawain shock
Moments later, Sonic and Bedivere lunge toward Gawain as the two attacked him t the same time, pushing him away a few feet. They then began running toward him while running in a pattern that didn't allow Gawain to fight them simultaneously. Sonic charges his sword up as he lunges toward Gawain and unleashes a series of fast combos, leaving scratch marks on Gawain's armour. As Sonic continues to slash Gawain, Sonic suddenly jumps back as Bedivere appears and cuts Gawain with his arm, throwing him towards the gate and hitting it before falling. Gawain attempts to get up from the floor, but Bedivere dashed toward Gawain again while charging up her arm. Sonic also charges his sword once again while running side-to-side with Bedivere. Moments later, the two unleashed their powerful strikes as an explosion erupted around them, causing a massive shockwave that pushed Mash and Da Vinci back. As the smoke clears out, Sonic notices that Bedivere is kneeling on the ground while holding his iron arm in pain. Sonic then sees Gawain slowly getting back up and dashing towards Bedivere, attempting to attack him, but Sonic stops Gawain from attacking him and pushes him away from Bedivere.
"Ugh... Arghhhhh! Come on, Sonic! Now's the chance to escape! Fall back for now..." Bedivere said
"Come on, Sonic! The next time, you'll take down Gawain. Promise me!" Da Vinci said
"*Sighs* As you wish. *Pulls Out Chaos Emerald And Tosses It At Da Vinci As It Emiots Light And Only Mash, Da Vinci, and Bedivere Teleported Away*. You three go ahead; I need to go follow those innocent people currently on the run. I can't let any of them get hurt by the Knights that will soon come after us. See you soon, blonde." Sonic said before speeding away
"I can't believe such a sword like that was able to withhold my own. Not only that, but that sword's wielder can also run at incredible speed. Just exactly are those people? That wasn't magecraft spells used as of now. These people are more dangerous than I thought they'll be..." Gawain said
*?*
"Gawain reporting in. Where is the Lion King, Sir Agravain?"
"The king has gone to sleep. I have already explained the situation. You will be punished later, Sir Gawain." Agravain said
"...How unfortunate. I cannot see the king even in a time like this?"
"Naturally. It is merely the escape of some refugees. We can handle it ourselves."
"Hah, maybe he went easy on them again? The Knight of the Sun is such a kind man!" Mordred said
"That isn't kindness, Sir Mordred. That is disrespect. There is no need to wait for the king's verdict. Agravain, may I cast judgement on Sir Gawain myself?" Tristan said
"That's quite harsh. I was expecting house Arrest. No need to cut his fricking head off, right?" Mordred said
"This is why I say you don't understand the king's heart... For our king's sake, I must take my friend's life... Do you understand, Sir Gawain?" Tristan said
"Yes, here in the throne room, my Gift is useless. Go ahead and take my head." Gawain said
" I can cut it so cleanly that no blood will spill out. It would be ill-mannered to stain the throne, after all."
"Hey, wait, are you serious!? You are! Is Tristan cutting off Gawain's head? Father would never allow such a thing!" Mordred shouted
"Put down your bow, Sir Tristan. Did something unforeseen happen? What say you, Sir Gawain? Were the rebels who attacked you at the gate truly refugees?" Argavain asks
"The only thing quite interesting to report is a Blue talking animal who's defeated all the Enforcement Knights and levelled in me in battle. A sword like that was able to challenge a sword from the Knights of the Round Table. Not only that, but that creature can run extremely fast too. So fast, so if we were going to chase after him. It'll only take him a day to reach the destination while it takes longer for us to reach after him." Gawain said
"A fast-talking Blue animal? Did you hit your head or something before you arrived here?" Agravain said
"What's this commotion? What is this talk about a talking Blue creature who can run fast?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...What's this? To think you would come to the throne room late at night."
"I came to hear a report from one of my knights. Now, state your business, Gawain." Lion King said
"Your Majesty. The Holy Selection was a failure. Everyone managed to escape thanks to that talking Blue creature. This was due to my negligence in supervision. I lost all my Enforcement Knights carrying out the whole ordeal. Many have fled." Gawain said
"All of this happens because of one tiny Blue stupid animal? You are the dumbest person, are you?" Mordred said
"Silence! That concludes my report. I am prepared for any judgment you may hand down. Please make your decision, my king."
"Such a disappointment. Very well then, raise your head, Gawain. Ah, you may remain on your knees. For you do not need to ever stand again."
Moments later, The Lion King fires a beam at Gawain, sending him flying out of the castle and hitting the Holy City walls.
" Gawain! Mordred, what happened to Gawain!?"
"Calm down, Agravain. I'd expect no less from Gawain, the toughest bastard of the Round Table! Hah! Look at him. So pathetic! it's gonna be a pain in the ass to fix that wall..." Mordred said
"Hear me, Knights of the Round Table. That strike was death itself. Mordred. I don't recall granting you citizenship to the Holy City. You are only allowed to stay in the city during the day. Return to your natural domain. And kill this so call Blue animal when you find them."
"Leave guarding the outside to me, Father!"
"Leave the refugees. They'll die eventually in the wasteland. The Sun King will soon realize our true intent. Prepare for the coming battle with him. When the Knight of the Lake returns triumphantly, we'll settle things with the Sun King."
"Let me think Ah, I know of one knight who happens to be accessible at the Knight Lancelot. Contact him. He should be making his way back to the Holy City. Tell to pursue the Blue animal. He is not allowed to return to the Holy City until that thing is dead."
