A Hedgehog Of Chaldea

Super Ghouls'n Pumpkin


*Castle*

After avoiding Raikou, Serenity, and Kiyohime inside the Lava Zone, Sonic and the Servants finally arrive at Elizabeth's castle, noticing the upside-down Pyramid above it.

"*Looking Up* So this is it, huh? Elizabeth's castle with huge upside Pyramids above it." Sonic said

"Well, don't just stand there and do nothing. Come on, let's take out that witch in her Pyramid!" Elizabeth said

"I'm seeing something ahead that looks like a Servant, so be careful," Romani said

"Green man, give me some caloric fuel. I want another chocolate." Ibaraki said

"Right, right. Take that, one."

"*Eats The Cholcate Bar* Fwahaha! Your pitiful attacks cannot harm me! I am invincible!" Ibaraki said

"Anyway, I'm feeling dirty from all this running around. Sonic, can't you conjure up a bathing area or two with the unknown power you wield?" Nitocris asks

"I would love to help you, but Chaos Emeralds don't grant stuff like a restroom," Sonic replied

"Oh, it looks like I'm gonna have to take an extra shower once we return to Chaldea," Nitocris said

"YOU GUYS AREN'T TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AT ALL! Come on, shout in unison with me, the hero!" Elizabeth shouted

"Some of us here have already been heroes of the world, Elizabeth. Not just you." Robin said

"ARGH! Fine! Forget it! Come on, who's our next opponent!?"

"Oh?"

"U-Uncle...!?"

"Vlad III?! Huh? But he seems a little different than the person we know." Mash said

"Of course I am. A Servant is summoned by extracting a single aspect of a hero. I am not here as King Vlad III. I am here as the warrior who punishes all evil." Vlad III said

"*Walks Towards Vlad III And Rests On Him* Man, Vlad, did you gain an extra few pounds? It sure does seem like it. And what's up with the armor?" Sonic said

"Silence you. *Attempts To Slap Sonic Only To Miss Him* It seems you are just as incompetent as Elizabeth Bathory. I am here to judge her for her sins! Your existence is sinful... And now you shall be punished for your immorality and wickedness!" Vlad III said

"W-What?!"

"Jeez. Count Vlad normally only gets mad when people call him a vampire but look at him now!" Romani said

Vlad III charges Elizabeth to attack her, but Sonic sticks his right leg out as Vlad III hit's Sonic shoe and trips down in front of Elizabeth and the other Servants. Vlad III looks back at Sonic eating chocolate with Ibaraki and charges at him again. Suddenly, a giant Red hand appears above Vlad III and crushes him onto the ground, creating a crater shape like a hand. Soon after the big hand moves away from Vlad III, Robin fires a few bows that puncture Vlad's chest and strike him soon after. Nitocris then summons mummies as they all attack Vlad, and finally, Elizabeth lunges toward Vlad and performs a sword spin attack that throws him towards the castle wall and falls soon after. Sonic then runs around Vlad, creating a tornado that sweeps him up, blows him several feet away from the group, and hits a few trees before falling soon after.

"You! You have no part between Elizabeth and me. Why do you insist on protecting her? She has caused sins that you can progress." Vlad III said

"The past is the past. I don't judge people based on their past decisions. I only look at the present and future. Sure some may have done some atrocity, but she's changed since then. Listen, older man. What do you want from us? Why do you hurt someone like Elizabeth here?" Sonic asks

"She does not understand. You need to return to the town. There, only she will understand what's going on." Vlad III replied before disappearing

"The town, huh? What is it that she doesn't understand?" Sonic said


*At The Town*

Later, the group arrives back at the dead town after Vlad III tells them about Elizabeth not understanding something.

"We've come back," Elizabeth said

"What could it be that Elisabeth doesn't understand?" Mash said

"What? What is it!? What don't I understand?" Elizabeth said

"It's pretty obvious here, Elizabeth. I'm exactly looking at it." Sonic replied

"What? What is it?!" Elizabeth begged

"You'll find out right now," Robin said

"It's completely dead here. Nobody is preparing for Halloween. Everyone is locked up in their houses." Elizebeth said

"Isn't that because the queen in that pyramid banned all the festivities?" Mash asks

"The lack of activity was apparent long before she even came. Let me fill you in. You were so busy getting excited for Halloween that you left all your administrative duties in the lurch! And because you were doing nothing as a leader, the townspeople didn't know if it was okay to get ready for the festival or not! Neither did your soldiers! They couldn't decide whether to proceed with the preparations or stop them! You were the only one who was getting excited for Halloween!" Robin replied

"B-But, I mentioned Sonic before to set up the Halloween decorations for the Holidays. S-Sonic?" Elizabeth said

"You probably misheard me, Elizabeth. I meant the Halloween party ONLY in Chaldea. That's why the whole place was filled with Halloween decorations only. You even helped us with the decorations alongside the other Servants." Sonic replied

"Ahhhh...ahh...ahh!" Elizabeth screamed

"How would Sonic even know about this in the place anyway? He just barely arrived here. I'm in shock. How can you be a ruler if you don't care for your people?" Ibaraki said

"B-But I was swamped preparing for the concert. Ugh... Wh-What should I do, Sonic? Uncle Vlad was furious and only made things worse when you tripped him." Elizabeth asks

"Hey, don't worry, Elizabeth is a Hedgehog whos experienced Halloween many times. I can help you fix up this town with Halloween-related stuff here." Sonic replied

"All you have to do is tell the townspeople that Halloween's begun," Robin said

"Then make the announcement. Make the announcement. Tell everyone the festival you promised them, the one with overflowing sweets, is set to begin." Ibaraki said

"You're right. I can't just lip-synch along with some recording through a mic. My pride won't allow it. Here I go! This is Elisabeth Báthory, the ruler of Castle Csejte! I'm sorry I'm laaaaaate! But I have an announcement! Let the Halloween festivities commence!" Elizabeth shouted

"Alright, now with that out of the way. Let's begin the decorations." Sonic said

"Halloween has been banned by Oh, not you people again!?" Queen's Knight shock

"We should be asking you the same question to you as well," Elizabeth said

"But you brought more of your friends here instead of Shield girl and the talking Blue animal." Queen Knight's replied

"How sad. It saddens me that the queen does not wish to see the town stained in the orange of Halloween."

"Oh great, more weird people to be here," Robin said

"I am Tristan. Former Knight of the Round Table. Currently a Queen's Knight. Call me Tristan the Tragic. Or perhaps Tristan Who Sighs And Looks Out Upon the Setting Sun." Tristan said

"That's way too long!"

"Tristan. What a suprise to see you here at a time like this. Especially you are guarding a Queen instead of Lancer Artoria. Or any of the Sabers as a matter of act." Sonic said

"W-We don't know what you're talking about, Sonic. He's on to us, Tristan. *Runs Pass Mash And The Others."

"Hey! Where's that other person going?!" Mash confuse

"Wait! Where are you!"

"*Appears With New And Dark Armor* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

"Look's like Lancelot decided to join the Halloween holidays as well. The nice costume you got there." Sonic said

"What's the matter, Lanc-"

"SHUUUTTTTTT UPPPPPPPP! *Chokes Tristan*"

"Hey, what about Mr. Sonic here? Okay, I give up! I give up! I give up! I'm tapping out! I'm tapping out!" Tristan begged

"Um, I don't understand why but my body is telling me that black knight needs to get crushed!" Mash said

"After our adventure in the Sixth Singularity. I can tell why." Sonic replied

"Prepare to die!"

Moments later, Mash lunges toward the Black Knight and begins her rampage towards him. She jumps at him and performs an overhead ax kick that sends the Knight down and hits the ground hard. The group and Tristan watch as Mash swing her shield at the Black Knight as he blocks Mash's insane shield swings. As the two were fighting, Mash hit the Black Knight on the chin and sent him flying.

"LOSERRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"You lost. How sad..."

"The Mysterious BlackKnightt has been defeated!" The Knights said before running away

"*Deep Sigh* I can tell you that last year's Halloween was a lot different than this year's Halloween," Sonic commented.

"Now, the townspeople can prepare for the festivities without fear of the queen," Nitocris said

"Okay, everyone! We drove all the knights away! Feel safe to celebrate Halloween openly!"

"GOOOOOOD!"

"You seem pretty happy, considering you lost. Still, I'm glad too. Now it's a question of whether or not the young one can surpass the queen. This is something we must see with our own eyes." Tristan said

"ESCAAAAAPE!"

"Hey, they're fleeing!" Robin shouted

"The vanquished should hang their heads and await punishment! Surround them, Medjed!" Nitocris said

"*Both Surrounded By Medjeds* How sad... But naturally, a knight never gives up! Not until he draws his last breath! The game is not over until the whistle blows. Now, let us escape!" Tristan said

"Oh, you're not leaving, dumbasses! "Great Grudge of Rashomon"! *Attacks Both Knights With Her Noble Phantasm* I'm not done yet! "Great Grudge of Rashomon"! Raaarrrrgh! *Unleashes Another Noble Phantasm And Sends Both Knights Flying Away From The Town* Hm, not good. I should have sent them flying the opposite way." Ibaraki said

"*Watching The Two Fly Away* And there they go. Off to the queen once again." Sonic said

"They went flying towards the Pyramid. It's like we set them to free ourselves." Nitocris said

"It's not my fault!"

"Anyway, let's just do what we came here to do. Even if the queen tries to stop the festivities, there's no way they ever will! Ahh, the world is filled with the happiness of Halloween...! It makes me want to burst out singing!" Elizabeth said

"Alright, everyone, let us begin the party!" Sonic said


*One Town Decoration Later*

The town was now filled with Halloween-related decorations, and the townspeople were enjoying the party.

"Now it feels like Halloween!" Sonic said

"It sure does feel like it, Senpai. Something more exciting than last year's." Mash replied

"To properly hold and run a festival is also the job of a pharaoh. I hope that child begins to understand that soon." Nitocris said

"Well, people need to take breaks at times. Although as a person coming from the forest, I hate wild places." Robin said

"You say that, but I know you're secretly handing out candy to the kids. I disguised myself as a child and received some too!" Ibaraki admitted

"You monster! Do you have no shame?!" Robin said

"I have a different sense of pride, that is all."

"Now let's go visit the queen! My concert will—No, never mind. The show is also important, but... But most of all, we must take her out for everyone to enjoy Halloween! By the way, maybe one song wouldn't hurt before we go? Elizabeth asks

"NO!" Everyone but Sonic shouted


*At The Castle, Again*

"Who would've guessed that Sonic would make it here unharmed? And with a costume on. Yes, that's right. That proves I'm not at fault here. Therefore. Rise, you useless loser knights! The time has come to determine who's best suited to rule this land! That is the agreement I made with that person!"


*With Sonic And The Others*

"Welcome. Thank you for coming." Tristan said

"Hey, it's those two Knights that Ibaraki sent flying," Elizabeth said

"I didn't mean to send them here, okay?!" Ibaraki shouted

"That depends on how you look at it. Lancelot threw the fight because he couldn't hit Mrs. Shield here. It makes me sad." Tristan said

"BIIIIITTTTCCCCHHHHH!"

"Sonic, can I continue kicking this Knights's butt?" Mash asks

"It's that what you are into at the moment. I don't see why not." Sonic replied

"That seemingly gentle girl has the menacing look of an executioner. What did you do to make her hate you so much?" Tristan thought

"I don't remember. I think it's some sort of misunderstanding. She'll calm down soon enough." Lancelot thought

"And why would involve me in such a thing? It makes me sad to the point I call myself Tristan the sad." Tristan thought

"Hey, you decided to join me as well!"

"Anyway, ahem, We decided not to fight at this moment. This way towards our Majesty."

"A Queen, huh? I have seen and fought Princesses before. Hey, even one that came from the future as well. They were a pain in the tail to deal with." Sonic commented

"How sad. Those Princesses missed an opportunity to make you their Knights to protect them." Tristan said

"Nah, I'm good as who I am! I don't need someone to rule over me! The wind that blows through my face is my Master!" Sonic replied


*With The Queen*

"How dare you come here, weaklings! After all the crazy adventures you have been through, you still manage to walk out of them safely. Wait a minute, do I see things? Is there one less of you? Wait. You look stronger than before! And more revealing."

"That's some observation you got there. I am the muscle-based idol that has become a Saber-class Servant, Elisabeth Báthory (Brave)!" Elizabeth replied

"Who's this sassy Queen here?" Sonic said

"What did you say, Rodent? Are you not fond of a Queen's beauty?!"

"Not really. The only beauty I prefer is Chilli dogs." Sonic replied

"What?! What are you talking about?!"

"How sad. My Majesty can't see someone's perspective of their favorite meal. It makes my heart break." Tristan said

"Would you shut up, you idiot?! It's your incompetence that has allowed them to come this far! As punishment, do a handstand over there! But don't stop playing the harp!"

"So sad... So backbreaking. But if Her Majesty commands it, I must obey."

"It seems the current situation is punishment enough for Sir Anonymous here. Very well, I will let him off the hook."

"No, I think it's only fair that he gets punished too. Specifically, he has to take off his helmet or show us his face."

"AAAAHHHHHH!"

"Mash, you been acting this way ever since we met the Knight in question," Elizabeth said

"Sorry... When I look at that indecisive black Knight, my heart glows like a Chaos Emerald." Mash replied

"So you get irritated. That was a nice way tKnightit. I completely understand how you feel. A real pain in the ass. Elisabeth Báthory, the fact that you've made it here means you finally understand, yes?"

"I got too excited over the Halloween concert and neglected my duties as ruler," Elizabeth replied

"Yes, it is pure stupidity for those who stand on top to seek something other than being at the top! That reason may be that you're as beautiful as the heavens. It could be that you wield power, even though you're hideous."

"Oh, that stings... I'm as beautiful as the heavens, but I chose the life of an idol." Elizabeth said

"No, I'm the beautiful one. You're the powerful one. You said it yourself just a second ago. You're the muscle-based idol, Lowland Gorilla Báthory."

"I didn't say that! Only the Báthory part is right! Just who are you?! You act like a model, but what Heroic Spirit are you?!" Elizabeth said

"Isn't it obvious? A queen who rules with beauty! Whose name is synonymous with beauty! If you asked a hundred people who that queen is, they would all tell you my name!"

"Sorry, I don't know your name exactly, but it's great meeting you either way. *Shakes The Queen's Hand*" Sonic said

"How do you not know my name?! Are you serious!? It's Cleopatra!" Cleopatra shouted

"Sorry, I don't know that name in my brain," Sonic replied

"..."

"Seriously?! You mean that Paris Fashion Week girl is Queen Cleopatra?!" Elizabeth said

"I can't even say anything. I'm shocked that someone like this Rodent doesn't even know my name! I-It breaks my heart." Cleopatra said

"Hahahaha! Seeing the queen break down because one Hedgehog doesn't know her. It's the funniest thing I saw all day!" Ibaraki said

"*Wiping The Tears* So, Elisabeth, let me ask you again. Do you intend to compete with my beauty? No way, that would be impossible! That's not even a contest! f you're a woman, you know there's nothing more terrifying than being judged based on your beauty!" Cleopatra said

"I'll show you I can compete!" Elizabeth shouted

While they were having a cat fight, Tristan played music to calm the battle between the two Servants who fought for beauty. Moments later, Elizabeth and Cleopatra both rushed toward one another and began pulling their hair from one another. Everyone watched as the two tore each other's hair and yelled at one another.

"Such beautiful scenes between both those warriors," Tristan said

"All this build-up just for these two pull one hair and try slap to each other?" Lancelot thought

"Y-You slapped me?!" Cleopatra said

"That's right! And you're going to give me back Castle Csejte! And do something about this Pyramid! Don't bring this kind of stuff in here!" Elizabeth said

"Well, I'm not the one who brought this pyramid here," Cleopatra said

"Then who dropped this annoying thing on my castle?!" Elizabeth said

"IT WAS ME!"

"Th-That voice! It can't be?! It couldn't, could it!?"

"If you want to know who I am, I shall answer. I am Ozymandias, the king who rules the sun! Hahahaha! Cleopatra! You lost to a child!" Ozymandias said

"H-How embarrassing! As someone who holds the pharaoh's name, I have fallen hard! I cannot bear any additional embarrassment. Please sever my head!" Cleopatra said

"We aren't going to slice heads off. Besides, didn't that happen to you already?" Sonic said

"Plus, I don't want you making a bloody mess here! We're going to decorate for Halloween!" Elizabeth said

"First of all, yes, Sonic, my head was taken off my body before. Just as that thin girl over there says. We need to decorate this castle now. Your blood would ruin the festival. Your punishment will be to sit there and take your shame! And soon after, you will form a contract with Sonic and join our side now. He's told us that he has no grudge against his enemies. He just wants to make peace. Don't worry. I won't fight you. I'm on your side anyway. Cleopatra was ruling over this Pyramid and was defeated by you." Ozymandias replied

"I would have never thought, Your Majesty... If you had given me word... I wouldn't have joined their side..." Nitocris said

"Heh. Don't say that, Nitocris. I told Cleopatra to keep her mouth shut."

"I-I'm not displeased at all! My apologies for slipping my tongue!"

"Anyway, time for a bit of background. Does anyone know the final moments of this woman, Cleopatra?" Ozymandias asks

"They say she committed suicide after her husband Antonius, general of the Roman army... lost to Augustus in the naval battle of Actium and later died," Mash said

"That's right. The Ptolemaic Kingdom quickly collapsed, and the country disappeared. I am leaving her as the last pharaoh. And thus, she has avoided wishing for anything and refused to be summoned as a Servant until now. What do you mean by that? Well, She has a personal desire. And it's something that won't come true unless she participates in a Holy Grail War as a Servant. She feels so responsible for destroying her country that she has locked it away in her heart. She thinks that someone that has done what she did should not be allowed to have a wish! But I don't think it's something to be suffering over for a thousand or so years, so I gave her an opportunity. To rule this upside-down Pyramid as queen... Until Halloween ends. And had she done that, I would have granted her wish with the Holy Grail I was given. And then you lost. You have no objections. Right, Cleopatra?" Ozymandias said

"Correct... I realized it was wrong for someone like me to hope for something. "

"I see, and so you're going to suppress that wish and turn your back on it for the rest of eternity, then!?"

"That is the least I can do to atone for destroying my country. Did you hear all that, Elly!" Ozymandias said

"D-Did you just say, Elly?! You never said anything like that before." Mash said

"You know, Cleopatra... IDIOT! Aren't you? Didn't I tell you? That I would be both an idol and a ruler!? Can you be a PHA... pharaoh? And have a personal desire at the same time! Take part in a bunch of Holy Grail Wars, and do your best to get it granted! Why can't you do the things that I can do? Can you do it right? I bet you could do it while you dance gracefully even. I don't want to say this, but... I got all excited about being an idol. I forgot about Halloween, might have ruled a bit... better, may have your desires!" Elizabeth said

"A-Are you sure?"

"It's fine! You think so, too, right, Sonic?" Elizabeth said

"Humanity's Final Master, Sonic The Hedgehog. It looks like you want to say something to her." Ozymandias said

"It's what Elizabeth said, Cleopatra. You have your own life. You can choose whatever you want to be. You have your desires like the rest of us here. Gods, Singers, Fighters, Knights, and others around here all have their desire they stick to. Just be yourself, Cleopatra. We won't judge on what you do." Sonic said

"Be yourself? You're right. But, all I could think was being a Pharaoh... Sun King, Ozymandias. The incarnation of Horus, Queen Nitocris. Please forgive me. From this day forth, I will accept myself for who I am and not just be a pharaoh." Cleopatra said

"I forgive you. Become the strength needed for those that follow you. Act like the name you have carved into history." Nitocris accepted

"I, too, grant forgiveness. Have the name of Cleopatra shine brightly, arrogantly, and proudly!" Ozymandias accepted

"Sonic. My name is Cleopatra VII. A former pharaoh. I will answer the summons as a Heroic Spirit and protect human history from this day forward. I will use this beautiful face, this voice, this body to be an Assassin class Servant. My glory is wasted on you. Give it up and resign yourself to it!" Cleopatra said

"We welcome you with open arms, Cleopatra. Welcome to the team!" Sonic replied

"Th-That was a good answer, Sonic! You may not know me in history, but You've been wonderful this far." Cleopatra replied

"Ahh. So is everything done here? We have a new member of Chaldea now. (Crunch, crunch)" Ibaraki said

"So what was that selfish wish, anyway?" Elizabeth said

"I've never heard of your wish. Would you tell us, if you don't mind?" Nitocris said

"Yes, if that's what you want, Your Majesty. My wish... Well, I have several, but... I'd like to see the man I loved one more time. I don't want to get back together with him, but... I still remember... The day he whispered sweet nothings into my ear while holding me in his slender but strong arms... His chiseled features, his cheekbones ever so tempting... And he was so sincere... Yes... I'd like to see my Caesar again...!" Cleopatra said

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What happened? Has the last boss made their appearance?"

"Alright, everyone. Let's gather and have a team talk. *Everyone But Cleopatra Huddles In A Circle*. So, what do we do?" Sonic said

"This is bad. She's talking about THAT Caesar, right?" Elizabeth said

"Yes, Caesar, one of the three least trustworthy Servants in Chaldea and almost always the mastermind behind everything," Mash said

"By the way, this is what Chaldea's Caesar looks like. *Shows A Picture Of Caesar Only For Ozymandias And Nitocris To Faint*."

"They both passed out. Oh no. It looks like King Ozymandias is holding his stomach and trying to hide his laughter." Mash said

"Yeah, it's quite a shock to see Caesar for the first time..." Robin said

"Let's just forget about this whole thing and move forward," Sonic said

"How sad... People change... They say aging isn't ugly, but...This goes beyond aging... Please forget this song... This is a severe case of stress eating... Oh, how sad... I have only seen this level of stress in Agravain..." Tristan said

"You look like you're having fun over there! Let me join in too! And why are the great pharaohs collapsed on the floor like they had a sudden stomach ache or something!?" Cleopatra asks

"U-Uh, I don't think that's such a great idea, Cleo!" Sonic said

All of a sudden, someone begins to Rayshift inside the Singularity.

"VENI!"

"This voice!"

"Oh boy," Sonic said

"VIDI!"

"My Caesar...!? To think I can meet you again at last! I-I need a mirror. Does anyone have a mirror!? Is my makeup running? We were just fighting, after all! Is it okay? Is it okay!? Now all I have to do is show myself! My Cae!"

"IT IS I!"

"WHAT?!"

"Hahaha. It's been a while, Cleopatra. Hmm? I guess this is the first time meeting each other as Servants." Caesar said

Everyone watches as Cleoptarta suddenly faints as well.

"I guess she couldn't accept reality and escaped it by fainting... Humans are frail beings. They should be positive as long as they have something to strive for." Ibaraki said

"Oh, a Holy Grail fragment came out. I'm going to collect it." Mash said

"...Uuugh... Round... I saw something round... Rolling... Rolling around... Uuuugh..."

"Let's have her rest here until her emotional scars heal," Elizabeth said

"Once Halloween starts, she might calm down a little bit too. Let's all have a very fun Halloween for her sake too!" Mash said

"I haven't made much of an appearance lately! My wit is so sharp right now; it's on par with a Lancer!" Caesar said

"You should stay away until Cleopatra's emotional scars heal."
