Sonic/Grand Order: Battle Against The Outer Gods
Anastasia
*Chaldea*
"Moring, Da Vinci, and Director. We're ready to head back to Sonic's World to begin exploring these Islands." Mash said
"Morning, Mash, you seem in a hurry, ready to head back to Sonic's world and begin the investigation. Don't worry; we are just prepared to send you two as well." Da Vinci replied
"*Looking At Some Papers* Based on the reports your friend made for us, Sonic. About the Islands and the cause of this is just what I thought. I knew something was up when you and the others returned to your home." Olga said
"So, you knew about this whole thing without telling us?!" Sonic said
"I thought my mind kept playing tricks on me again, but it wasn't a trick this time. Shit, if only I believed my mind at least this time, none of this could've happened." Olga replied
"Don't blame yourself, Director, even if we discovered it earlier. The process would've been faster, knowing that they knew that we knew. We are in a rush, so I'll make this quick. You two will head towards one of the Islands and investigate it. I don't know how you two will explore it, but luckily we have Sonic's friend that can help us with that." Da Vinci said
"You're not going with us, Da Vinci?" Mash said
"Of course not. I must stand back and help Olga with your journey throughout your adventure. You may be wondering, how in the world will I be able to contact you from a different world? Luckily, this thing will help out! *Shows The Device That Sonic Wore The 1st Time He Went Back Home* Ladies and Hedgehog. I give you the Chaldea Communicator. With the device, not only will you be able to summon Servants freely, but you will also be able to communicate with us in real-time! That way, we can communicate with you and what others are talking about and join in and help you with stuff! All thanks for using some power of the Chaos Emeralds." Da Vinci said
"That's sweet! Look's like the brains will play a significant role in our journey! Also, it'll be excellent to hear you and Olga speak while we're in my world! *Puts The Device On His Wrist And Turns It On* Now, is there anything else we need to bring?" Sonic asks
"Yep! *Grabs Mash's Shield And Gives It To Her* Thanks for your patience, Mash! We finally managed to design your shield and implemented new crazy gadgets that will benefit you during your adventure throughout Sonic's world. Want to battle than just using your shield? Then just Command your shield into something you wish to use in combat, and it will help you out, no matter what!" Da Vinci replied
"Wait, my shield can transform into different kinds of weapons for any kind of battle? But how?" Mash was confused.
"All thanks to a device that Edison borrowed from Sonic's world and designed to work for you. Also, depending on your weapon, your shield will change to a different design that fits that weapon, like a Gas rifle. Your armor will transform into something more advanced than just your regular armor. Pretty cool, right?" Da Vinci said
"Really? That's so cool. However, I only know how to use my shield instead of any other weapon. I may be able to use them properly." Mash said
"No need to worry, Mash, you're a fast learner, and you'll soon Master your arsenal! We also have Sonic here that can help you as well." Olga said
"You hear that, Mash? You just got a massive upgrade! You're like a tank inside a Shielder!" Sonic replied
"I see..."
"Will talk about it more later. I'll set up the Teleporter right now, and you'll be on your way to Sonic's world. Just make you return each time you finish investigating these locations. Got that?" Da Vinci said
*Sonic's World*
Once Sonic and Mash arrive back in Sonic's world, Tails uses the X-Tornado to head straight into the first Island to investigate this mysterious land that appeared after the Incident with Koyanskaya.
"Will be heading toward's Russia very soon to investigate the Island. I hope you two are prepared for what's coming." Tails said
"No need to be worried, Tails. We dealt with stuff like this before! It's just going to be one of those times again!" Sonic replied
"Senpai, the Chaldea communicator on your wrist, is flashing. Someone is trying to contact you back from Chaldea." Mash said
"*Looks At The Device And Clicks On The Screen As A Voice Can be Heard* Hello, Sonic and Mash, it's Da Vinci! Coming from another world far different from yours! I hope you can hear me!" Da Vinci said
"Da Vinci! It's you, of course, we can hear you perfectly! We're just making our way towards the first Island in Russia!" Mash said
"Don't worry, Mash; I know where you are currently. We are in the Command Room, watching you fly over Europe and make your way into Russia." Da Vinci replied
"You also placed a tracking device on both of us with this device? I thought this was just a device where I can only summon Servants into the Battlefield." Sonic said
"I added a few more features into the Chaldea Coummincator drive, Sonic. That way, we can continue communicating, even if we are worlds apart. All thanks to my genius!" Da Vinci replied
"So that's the genius Da Vinci's voice inside that device and is talking from the other side? That's so cool! Who could've known another genius could be helping us as well!" Tails said
"Oh, that voice, you must be one of Sonic's friends from his world. Nice to meet you; my name is Leonardo Da Vinci! But you can call me Da Vinci!" Da Vinci introduced herself
"Nice to meet you, Da Vinci! The names Tails! I'm also assisting Sonic and Mash and taking them towards the first Island with my X-Tornado! Knowing that you can track Sonic and Mash, we are traveling over Europe!" Tails replied
"Ah, no wonder Sonic and Mash were traveling extremely fast towards Russia. I thought Sonic was carrying Mash there like he usually does! Either way, nice meeting you, Tails! We may be worlds apart, but I hope we can work together as of today!" Da Vinci said
"*Blushing* D-Da Vinci! Stop that! I thought we agreed not to speak of that!" Mash Embarrassed
"Apologies, Mash, but you two always look adorable when doing stuff like that! It makes me blush as well!" Da Vinci replied
"This isn't going nowhere, so I'll be doing the talking now. Greetings, Tails, Olga Marie Amusiphere speaking, and I'm here to assist you and the two others on their mission through these Islands that have appeared in your world. Based on the tractor, you three should be heading towards the first Island in a few minutes. I already pinpointed a safe location so you can land Sonic and Mash safely on the Island." Olga said
"Sounds good to me! Thank you, Olga! Without both your help. Things should go down better! *Accelerates Faster As The X-Tornado Flies Into The Clouds* Hold on tight, you two! We will be arriving at our destination shortly!" Tails replied
Mysterious Island No. 1
A.D. 1570? Permafrost Empire, Anastasia
The Beginning Of A New Adventure
*At The Island*
A few minutes later, the X-Tornado makes its way toward the snowy Island. As it safely landed on the snow, the two stared at the blizzard surrounding the X-Tornado.
"*Looking At His Surroundings* So this is the 1st Island, huh? Hmph, not as bad as Ice Cap Zone." Sonic said
"The freezing temperature is immense! Who could've thought a blizzard could be happening above the clouds? But, I don't feel the slightest of any freezing." Mash said
"That's right, Mash! Remember the device Edison borrowed from Sonic's friend for you with your newly Modern-tech shield implemented in Galahad? Well, the device has a feature to generate heat for you in the coldest environments! As long as you are near your shield, the freezing effects won't bother you! Praise modern technology!" Da Vinci replied
"Wait, so it was Edison who took the device from me?! I thought I lost it at first, but it works on Mash?! That's incredible!" Tails said
"I should be giving you credit first, Tails. You were the first to design it for a robot, but Edison decided to change a few things to make it work on Mash! And it's worked successfully! Our genius worked well in this one! Now then, enough about the device. It's time to get to work!" Da Vinci said
"Yea, I was wondering when we would get there," Sonic commented
"Currently, with the Chaldea's Communicator. You two are in a typical blizzard. There's no atmospheric pollution and no hostiles in the area. With Olga's coordinates, the plane is right in the middle of the blizzard. The odd bit is that it's a hundred degrees below zero." Da Vinci explained
"Oddball? This weather is just another snowy day in Ice Cap Zone! But this isn't Ice Cap Zone." Sonic replied
"We aren't here yet, Sonic. Take A Look At this. *A Hologram Of The Storm Appears From Sonic's Device* This storm covers every part of the Island," Olga said
"Like a wall around the entire world. This storm can tear steel apart, level entire cities, and even destroy the world as we know it. No wonder people thought of it as a god during the Age of Gods." Da Vinci added up
"Based on what those two said, this place is one hundred degrees below zero. If anything, no ordinary human being could survive in this. Luckily, the X-Tornado can withstand even the most potent storms! You may think nothing can survive such a blizzard, but from experience. I know how to combat it!" Tails said
"Ah, so it seems modern technology is more advanced in your world, Sonic. If that's the case, then everything should be fine for you and Mash." Da Vinci said
"That's what I like to hear from you, Tails! Say, can this thing turn into a vehicle that will allow getting going in this place?" Sonic asks
"Of course, Sonic! I also placed new modes inside the X-Tornado to work in situations like this! *Presses A Few Buttons As The X-Tornado Transforms Into A Tank-Like Snow Vehicle That Was Able To Move Perfectly On A Snowy Floor* Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the X-Troando Snow Mobile!" Tails said
"Wow, Tails, this is amazing! I didn't think your plane would be able to turn into a vehicle for snowy areas!" Mash surprise
"Hahaha! Thanks for the compliments, Mash! I knew my work would be helpful for you and Sonic in adventures! Now hang on tight! We will begin our journey through this Island right now! *The X-Tornado Snow Mobile Begins To Move From its Location And Begins Its Journey Through The Blizzard* Yea! It works perfectly!" Tails said while driving
"*Appears From Mash's Shield* Fou!"
"Fou?! What are you doing here?!" Mash and Sonic shouted
"Wait, Fou is with you?!" Olga shouted
"Oh yea, I forgot to say, Fou wanted to go as well, so he hid in Mash's shield before you and Sonic left Chaldea. Make sure you take good care of him there, okay?" Da Vinci said
"Fou! Fou!"
"Oh, Fou, I thought I told you to stay back at Chaldea while Senpai and I came to this world on our own," Mash said
"Fou..."
*Later*
"*Continues Driving The Vehicle Through The Blizzard While Sonic Watches Besides Him* How are you doing behind there, Mash?" Tails ask
"*Currently Eating An Apple* Doing well for myself, Tails. Also, Fou is enjoying the heat inside the Vehicle." Mash replied
"Fou!"
"That's great to hear, Mash! Eat as much as you need. It's a good thing I went shopping for food with Cream and Mrs. Vanilla before this and bought tons of food supplies for the three of us. It's enough for the whole journey through this Island!" Tails said
"Man, Tails, what will we do without you, buddy? I haven't seen you this prepared in a while!" Sonic replied
"All those months of fighting Eggman while you were gone made me learn much about survival. And right now, I'm using those skills I learned here and now!" Tails said
"Well, one good outcome came out when I was gone. *Rubs Tails Head* You deserve all the credit for your hard work keeping our home as safe as long as possible! I'm proud of you!" Sonic replied
"Haha! Thanks, Sonic! *Looks Back At Front Windscreen, Eyes Widen And Stomps At The Breaks As Sonic Hit's The Windscreen And Falls Down* Wow, that was close!" Tails said
"*Running Towards Sonic* Senpai, are you okay?!" Mash said
"*Rubbing Head* Yea, I'm fine. Tails, what the heck was that? Why the sudden stop of the Vehicle?!" Sonic confuse
"Someone is standing in front of us and blocking our way! *Pulls Out Mic* Ummm... Whoever is that is in front of the Vehicle. Can you kindly please move out of the way? We promise we come at peace." Tails said
"*Looking At The Windscreen And Notices Tails, Sonic, And Mash starring Back At Him* Two animals and a Mage? What kind of armor thing is this that they are inside from?" The Mysterious Figure said
"Hey, mysterious person. We are not enemies. We don't even know you. Besides, what are you doing in the middle of a snowstorm? Are you lost? If so, show yourself, and I will help." Sonic asks
"*Walks Closer To The Vehicle And Reveals Themselves As A Werewolf Beinmg Standing On Two Legs, Wearing Clothes And Holding A Rifle* I would've asked the same if you were different beings, but you two as well are animals like me." The Werewolf replied
Sonic and Tails both looked at each other, realizing that another talking animal was standing in front of their Vehicle.
"No need to be suprise. If you let me inside this moving thing of yours, I'll happily help you out." The Werewolf said
"*Looks At Sonic* Could we trust this Werewolf?" Mash asks
"If he's saying that, he'll help us with our journey. Then I don't see the problem of bringing him along." Sonic replied
"Sonic, that Werewolf is holding a gun in his hands. He could kill us at any second!" Tails said
"Don't worry. If something bad happens, I'll take care of him as usual! *Talks Out* Hey, Werewolf, sure thing! Come right in!" Sonic replied
*Later, At The Werewolf's House*
Later, Tails lets the Werewolf inside the Vehicle as he tells him directions to his nearby house. Eventually, they make it there safely.
"Wow, that was quite the cozy ride you offered. Thank you again, you two!" The Werewolf said
"No need to thank us. We're just doing what's right!" Tails replied
"Now that we brought you safely. Care to tell us about this place? Or should I just drop the bombshell for all of us?" Sonic asks
"Yes, that would be lovely to hear from you, sir!" Da Vinci's voice said
"First, since you three and those two female voices coming from the device on your wrist have already introduced yourselves to me! Then I should introduce myself as well. Name's Patxi. You are not from the rebel army, right?" Patxi asks
"Who?"
"Hmmm... You don't know anything about this place at all, Sonic. Suppose you want to know a little more about this place. The year is 2020. If you're wondering about the snowstorm. I have no fucking idea about it. I've lived here in Russia for twenty years and never seen anything like it." Patxi said
"Well, I'm just going to hit you with the bombshell and say that you are on a floating island above the actual country. This Island was formed in a different world, and it's not the year you claimed to say." Sonic replied
"What? What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean that it isn't 2020 and that we are on a floating Island?" Patxi confuse
"What does he mean by floating Island above the actual country, and it's not 2020? Are you saying there is more than meets the eye?" Patxi thought
"Are there more things we should know about this place?" Da Vinci asks
"Ever heard of Ivan the Terrible?"
"Ivan the Terrible?!" Mash shock
"Who?" Sonic and Tails said at the same time
"A monster of the sixteenth century. I'll spare you the details later." Olga said
"Just what is Ivan The Terrible doing in Sonic's world?! Why would he still be around?! Could he be a Servant?" Mash confuse
"That could be the answer. But we will have to wait a little longer and see ourselves." Sonic replied
"You know about the Great Cold Wave that happened four hundred and fifty years ago, right? The new ice age, they say, occurred after a meteor struck the planet. But you are saying this is some floating Island above actual Russia. Once that hit, Earth turned- no wait, this Island turned into an ice land. It got so cold that the old species, humans, couldn't survive here anymore. Russians have always dealt with the cold, so we had it better here." Patxi said
"So that means the effects of our world still happened and arrived in Sonic's world. With the people of Russia combined with Demonic Beasts via some magecraft." Da Vinci said
"Yeah. You're the first outsiders I've ever seen in my life. *Pulls Out A Map* I hope you understand the language." Patxi said
"Don't worry. I brought the Miles Electric that can translate the map! *Takes Photo Of Map As It Accurately Translates* This is Yaga Smolensk. And this city far up to the northeast must be Yaga Moscow." Tails said
"I'll be heading for a little. Make yourself comfortable around here. *Walks Out of His Home*." Patxi said
"So our new opponent now is this Ivan, The terrible guy who somehow managed to survive for that long," Sonic said
"Does that mean that Ivan The Terrible is the one ruling this Island?" Mash said
"It's a possibility, Mash. Luckily, with the map, I told a photo of, I think we should be good from here on out!" Tails replied
"Hey, I've been thinking about that Patxi guy. Based on his outfit, he looks like a Hunter to me who's trying to keep everyone alive with food he's hunted down." Sonic said
"What are you trying to say, Senpai?" Mash asks
"*Opens The Door* Give me a few minutes. I'll be right back! *Dashes Out Of The House And Closing The Door Behind Him*."
*Later*
"Good job, Sonic, for giving the citizens supplies from the items Tails bought! I'm sure they'll be grateful for the kind gesture!" Da Vinci said
"And we still have tons of supplies for the three of us! Thanks to you, Cream, and Vanilla!" Sonic said
"*Returns* I'm back. It seems like everyone has gotten food and water around the town. Some said that some mysterious Blue animal came to their houses and offered them food for them. *Looks At Sonic* Was it you who went around and handed out food to everyone?" Patxi asks
"*Looks At Patxi And Just Winks At Him And Returns Talking With Mash And Tails About The Map*."
"Just who the hell are these beings? Did he just go out this weather and give fresh food to everyone here without hunting? Is he that experienced in stuff like this?" Patxi thought
"Hey, Patxi. Could you tell us about that mysterious tree we spotted?" Tails ask
"I don't even know about it as well! It just appeared out of nowhere!" Patxi replied
"Hmmm..." Tails thought
*?*
"Anastasia... Where are you...Anastasia?"
"I am here, my tsar."
"Ahh, my empress. My beloved wife. Tell me... Is Russia at peace?"
"Of course, it is, my tsar. No need to worry about your land. Please, rest and do not be troubled."
"I see. So Russia is at peace... That makes two hundred years of peace in Russia... I must spread my glory beyond Russia's borders. I must share it with those from other lands who can only shiver in the cold, waiting for their ends. Tell me, how fares Europe and the Far East?"
"..."
"No answer... Interesting... I must press onward with renewed vigor and expand my domain! I must unite the world and ensure its happiness!"
"Amadeus."
"Very well."
"...So sleepy... Am I...dreaming...?"
"Good night, my tsar. May your repose be blessed with sweet dreams." Grand Duchess said
"*Thinking To Herself* This place feels... different... I don't know what's outside this place... No traces of Magical Energy... All I think... is peace... I have no Master... But yet... I'm still walking freely... What is keeping me alive... even without a Master? There's something outside of this land that we don't know about... only a couple know what's happening..."
*Back With Sonic, Mash, And Tails*
"*Looking Outside The Window And Seeing A Familiar Face* Wait, is that Koyanskaya?!" Mash shock
"Oh, so she finally decided to reappear again even after what she did to my world. Hmph, I'll be right back." Sonic said
"Wait, Sonic, she's still a threat to us four, you know?! She can kill us on the spot if we piss her off!" Patxi said
"*Looks Back At Patxi* I know more about her than you, Pat. Allow me to go speak with her." Sonic replied
Sonic then walks out of the house and walks towards Koyanskaya, who she notices Sonic walking towards her and smiles.
"Oh my, if it isn't the cute little animal again! How are you doing, Sonic? Did you miss me?" Koyanskaya said
"*Folds Arms And Taps His Feet* I should be asking you the same question. What are you doing here? Have you not already know what you did to my home?!" Sonic replied
"Awww... Don't raise your voice on me. All I was trying to do was do a good deed where we could live peacefully in a world together. However, I didn't realize that your world would continue to work probably and instead have these Islands create these places. I should've thought of that in the first place." Koyanskaya said
"What are you even doing here anyway? And why are you dressed like that?" Sonic confuse
"I'm here selling food for the Yaga suffering in this blizzard. However, there's seems that none of the Yaga are out here. Interesting." Koyanskaya replied
"Well, thanks to me. I gave the citizens supplies and food for every one of them with the items we had in the X-Tornado Snow Mobile. So, you can say that we were prepared for this occasion." Sonic said
"I see. No wonder I saw that Snow Mobile while I was heading here. Maybe next time, I suppose the Yaga could enjoy some quality meat I obtained for them some other time. I'll be going, knowing you are still fine and well, Blue cutie. Pardon me. *Leaves The Village As Sonic Watches Her*." Koyanskyaba replied
"Wait, before you go. Where is Eggman?" Sonic asks
"Who? I don't know what you are talking about. I had never heard of this Eggman before. I'm sorry, Sonic." Koyanskaya replied
"Hmmm... Wait, Koyan, I have else to say! What do you see in these werewolves that I don't know?" Sonic shouted
"So you wanna know about them? Of course, I'll tell them you, cutie! Unlike you, an animal, Yaga is another branch of human evolution. That makes them very much an object of hatred for me. I tried to exploit them as brutally and thoroughly as I could. It's my life's work. I enjoy it AND take it seriously. Besides, humans came up with the whole notion of structure that exploits the poor. But violence is terrible, and we both know it. Resorting to something as brutal as violence to destroy what they detest is the HEIGHT of human folly. I hope that answers your question, Sonic. Anyway, see you soon. *Blows Sonic A Kiss As She Makes Her Way Out Of The Village*" Koyanskaya replied
*Back Inside*
"*Explains Everything To Mash And Tails On What Just Happened Between Sonic And Koyanskaya* I think she came here for something more sinister, but thanks to Sonic, all of that was avoided. Still, It's hard to believe that Koyanskaya. Despite being our enemy, she still respects Sonic and will stop everything just to talk with him. Isn't that a little weird?" Mash said
"That is weird. Why is Koyanskaya only respectful to but not anyone else?" Olga confuse
"I think we already know the answer here. But respectfully or not, Koyanskaya still our enemy and working with Egghead. One way or another." Sonic replied
"Based on readings. Koyanskaya is a Servant, obviously with the Magical energy readings on Sonic's device. But still, I don't think she's all buddy with us. As Sonic said, we are still her enemies at the end of the day. But now, I think it's time for you three to continue with your journey, now that you have a pretty good idea of how the Island is the layout." Da Vinci said
"Sounds good to me! Hey, Patxi, care to join us back on the Snow Mobile?" Tails ask
"Hell yea, that thing is more comfortable than my home combined. I'll help you with the directions." Patxi replied
*Someplace Else Around The Island*
"*Driving The X-Tornado Snow Mobile* So what's with this Rebel Army thing you mentioned before, Patxi? Are they dangerous or something? Should we avoid them?" Tails ask
"The Rebel Army. They were nobles fighting. Sometimes, it was ordinary folk who'd run out of food. I also heard a strange rumor about them. They say their Leader's a lady archer who still looks like one of the old humans before Ivan's reign began." Patxi replied
"*Looks At Mash, Who Has A Suprise Look On Her FIt ace* It Looks like we were correct. Sounds like a Servant to me," Sonic commented.
"We need to meet her and ask if she can help you three. Besides, she's also Ivan, the Terrible's enemy." Da Vinci said
"Seems like I'll be summoning a Servant or two for this fight.*Looking Through The Servant Names In The Device*" Sonic commented.
"I think we should wait on that and see how she treats us. After all, it could be another instance where this person will highly accept us since we aren't human." Tails said
"Quite the bold statement you have there, Fox. You two have Mash on your side and will instantly reject you." Patxi replied
"Hold on a minute... *Notices Something On The Device* That's odd. A new Servant name has suddenly appeared on the Servant Summoning Feature. There's a whole new list of numbers with only question marks. What is the heck going on?" Sonic said
"You're right! I have never seen that name before. Who can that be?" Mash confuse
"There's only one way to figure it out! *Raises His Right Arm Up High As The Emerald Shape Command Seal Emits Light And A Servant Appears Inside The Vehicle With The Four* ..."
"My name is Avicebron. I am a Caster. I come in response to your summon... *Notices Sonic* It seems the one who summoned me was an animal. Yes, this world is entirely mysterious, but no matter, I must respect my Master at all costs." Avicebron said
"The device worked successfully! Da Vinci, Director, Senpai just summoned a new Servant to join us!" Mash said
"So it has we heard from here. It seems like Edison discovered the Spirit Origin Briefcase and used that as an idea for the Communicator." Da Vinci said
"Did he find it by accident? That case is meant to be top secret." Olga confuse
"Edison can be very picky sometimes when no one is watching him," Mash replied
"So that's what that Emerald shape tattoo does on your hand, Sonic. I thought you got it just for decoration." Tails said
"Nice to meet you, Avicebron. Names Sonic The Hedgehog. You don't have to call me Master if you want. You can call me Sonic. I'm fine with that." Sonic introducing himself
"Sonic The Hedgehog. A pleasure to meet you, Master. Apologies for such an introduction." Avicebron said
"No need to worry about that, Avicebron! I get that all the time! As long as we work together, that's all it matters."
"Th-that guy just...appeared...out of nowhere... What the hell is going on... H-hey, you... Are you...human...?" Patxi asks
"I am not. I am a Servant. I serve this animal, for he is my Master. Animal or not, he is still my Master." Avicebron replied
"Then, does that mean...you're like Ivan the Terrible...?" Patxi asks
"Oho, so our enemy is Ivan the Terrible, eh? That's going to be difficult. As a result of my summoning, I know all the information my Master possesses. Before we discuss matters further, why don't I show you what I am capable of?" Avicebron said
"We have enemies coming close to us!" Tails shouted
"Demonic Beasts!" Patxi shouted
"Alright, now the fun begins! Come on, Mash!" Sonic said
"No need for that, Master. I'm a Servant that protects you, please. Allow me."
"Huh?"
Moments later, Avicebron summons a golem in front of the Vehicle as it stomps on a Demonic Beast, crushes it painfully, and jumps on top soon after. Sonic, Mash, Tails, and Patxi are amazed by the skills of Avicebron as another Demonic Beast jumps on top of the Golem and attempts to crush it with its powerful teeth. As the Demonic Beast tries to but the Golem, the Golem slowly begins to fall back and crushes the Demonic Beast as it roars in pain. The Golem stands back up soon after as it grabs the Demonic Beast's tail. It slams it down on another Demonic Beast, crushing both of them together as the Golem jumps on top of them and crushes them with the weight of its body before exploding. Blood explodes everywhere, including covering the Vehicle.
"We should be fine for the time being, knowing that our enemies are gone," Avicebron said
"*Whistles* That was tight! Now that's a Servant I'm talking about! Excellent job, Avice!" Sonic replied
"That was fantastic work, Avicebon!" Tails excited
"Those stones flattened those Krichat' like it was nothing..." Patxi said
"These are my golems. I'm too weak to fight myself, so my only option is to have them do so on my behalf. Now, Master, I understand that isn't the world I'm used to and that this is an Island above the actual planet from a different world. So I suggest we continue with our journey throughout this Island in search of any more information." Avicrbton said
"Don't have to tell me twice. Besides, we were on our way to meet this so-called Rebel Army leader. And wolfman here is going to help us and get her on our side." Sonic replied
"Wolfman?! Can you call me a better name, Hedgehog? I know of a few villages rumored to have ties to them. If we head over there. We should meet the Leader in no time." Patxi explained
"You heard the wolfman, Tails. Let's begin our journey once again!" Sonic said
"You got it, Sonic!"
"We'll have to pass through another village to get to the one we want. Make sure you stay out of trouble there. It's mostly neutral, but it does lean pro-Ivan." Patxi explained
"Or we can use a shortcut to avoid that village. Besides, Tails has the brains to get us to our destination!" Sonic said
"That's the most reasonable way to settle things here. We don't want any confrontation with those villagers either way. Master, his friend, and this moving machine will stand out the most among them." Avicebron replied
"Not a bad idea. Some areas will be bumpy, so be prepared for those." Tails said
*Later*
"Mobius, huh? Quite the name for your planet, Master. And it's interesting hearing about talking animals and humans living in peace together. Something like that isn't normal from where we originally came from." Avicebron said
"And, of course, it had to be Master Emerald that caused this whole ordeal. When is my next adventure not going to involve the emeralds?" Sonic asks
"My guess is as good as yours, Sonic. But no doubt it'll be the last time either." Tails replied
"We can talk about that later. Right now, our most pressing concern is finding a way to make contact with the rebel army. We must also not forget that there are Servants on the enemy's side and on our own. It's going to take more for us to convince them." Avicebron said
"Whatever is that they want us to do. I will do it, no problem. But, still, who is this Ivan, the Terrible guy? Is hey that feared in this Island or should I say, country for the hundreds of years?" Sonic asks
"He's freakin' IMMORTAL. We've been living in fear of his regime all our lives. I don't know why you two are so unhinged about that bastard." Patxi replied
"I guess we're used to this kind of stuff?" Sonic said
"That explains a lot," Patxi commented
"Why don't we let Patxi go into the village and meet back up with him later?" Avicebron asks
"Sounds great to me. Don't worry. I'll make sure to introduce you guys. Just sit tight. *Walks Out Of The Vehicle*."
"Who would've thought will meet another talking animal just like us?" Sonic said
"Yea, I'm used to introducing myself to new beings like us. But Patxi is different. I don't want to talk down to him personally, so I'll stay quiet for the time being. Right, will just have to wait for Patxi's return." Tails replied
*A Couple Hours Later*
"Wait. Master, Tails, Mash. Someone's coming towards the X-Tornado." Avicebron said
"So this what Patxi was talking about. A moving armor machine in the middle of nowhere and four inside it. Are you ones that are with Patxi." A Yaga asks
"*Talks Through The Speakers* That will be us, kind sir. Just here waiting for him as we speak." Tails replied
"A talking Yellow and Blue animal. So Patxi wasn't on something at all. What the hell is this." The Yaga whispers
"May we ask you something? Why are your comrades still training their firearms on us?" Avicebron asks
"There is a rumor that Ivan the Terrible works alongside a human-bodied servant in tow. However, no mage is that Servant's Master. We believe that its Master's name is being placed in secret. And I think we found the answer. *Aims Their Weapons Towards Sonic*" Yaga said
"They are mistaken Sonic as this Servant's Master for that they are talking about!" Mash shock
"Oh, come on, me? I don't even know what they are talking about. If that means Servant has no Master, that could mean." Sonic said
"That the Master Emerald's energy is keeping her alive. No doubt in that." Tails replied
"Come on, Avicebron. Let's deal with these guys. But don't kill them!" Sonic said
"Understood, Master."
Moments later, Sonic and Avicebron jumped out of the Vehicle as they dashed toward the Yagas. The Yagas aimed their Rifles at the two as they fired at them. Sonic quickly dodges the bullets while Avicebron summons a golem, and the bullets deflect away, hitting the ground behind him as he is homing attacks a few Yagas directly in the face, knocking them off balance and falling onto the snow. A Yaga appears behind Sonic, hits him in the back of the head with their rifle, and knocks Sonic onto the snow. As the Yaga aims their rifle down at him and is about to shoot at him, Sonic kicks up a pile of snow at the Yaga's face, covering the Yaga in snow as he quickly jumps at the Yaga and punches them in the stomach and knocks them away from him. The Golem rushes towards a group of Yagas, firing at them, making a fist, hitting all the Yagas, throwing them aside, and rolling on the snow while they let go of their weapons. Sonic dashes towards a group of Yagas as they shoot at him and do their bullets. Though Sonic was fast enough to dodge most of the shells, one of the Yagas got a lucky shot and hit Sonic in the arm. As he felt the pain and rolled on the snow, blood rolled down his arm and dripped onto the snow. He then looks up and notices the Yagas about to fire. He makes an angry expression as he curls into a ball, revving up tons of speed and spinning, dashing towards the Yagas, hitting them one by one, knocking them down onto the snow, and letting go of their weapons as well. Sonic turns around as more Yagas are rushing towards him as he dashes towards them, but the bullet on his arm continues to hurt him as he kneels on the ground. However, the Golem comes to Sonic's aid as he scoops up Sonic from the snow and kicks the Yagas away with a mighty swing before jumping out and placing him near the Vehicle.
"*Grabbing His Arm As The Blood Continues To Flow* Nghhhhh...! T-Those guys got me good!" Sonic said
"Don't worry, Master. The Medical Supplies are back in the Vehicle. I'll get them right away!" Avicebron asks
"Don't worry, I got you, Sonic! *Flies Towards Sonic With Mash Following Behind* Don't move, Sonic, I'll take that bullet out of you as fast as I can!" Tails said
"Just do what you need to do, Tails. I'm trusting you..." Sonic replied
"Even after being injured. You continue the fight like it is nothing. I'm indeed impressed." A Female voice said
"*Notices Someone Walking Towards Them* I take it you are the leader?" Avicebron asks
"I am...and now I have seen your power for myself. You are indeed a strong being, Hedgehog. Do you say you are here to join the rebel army?
"*Currently Being Aided By Tails And Mash* That's the plan here. We heard a few things about this army and are interested in joining you guys. Is that alright with you?" Sonic asks
"You don't look human. But I see that you are a Master. Interesting. A Master with High-spirit that continues to push on even when put down on his knees."
"Yea, I got cocky there, didn't I? Got a piece of my mind there for that one. This place is no joke, after all. Look, if you are here to fight against me to show my Heroism towards you, I'll be glad to do so." Sonic replied
"Hmph. So instead of me asking you to fight. It's indeed the opposite. I like your spirits, Blue animal. Prove to me that you are also a worthy fighter."
"Hey, Avice. Take care of the Yagas. I have a duel against the Leader." Sonic replied
"Even after being injured, Sonic?" Mash shock
"Hehe, that's how I roll, Mash. A hero always stands back on his feet." Sonic replied
"Understood, Master, I'll take care of the Yagas without killing them. *Golem begins To Chase Down The Yagas And Begins Fighting Against Them*." Avicebron said
"Thank you, Avice, although we just met. You are already an amazing partner!" Sonic replied
Sonic slowly stands on his feet again as he gets into a fighting stance and the Rebel Army Leader. Moments later, the two dashed toward one another as Sonic homing attacked the Leader with a direct kick. Still, the Leader easily dodged Sonic's attack and countered back by unleashing a series of devastating claw slashes at Sonic, damaging him, throwing him towards a dead tree, and falling soon after. Sonic quickly gets back up as he dashes toward the Leader, runs in circles around her, and hits her multiple times at different angles of her body as fast as he can. The Leader realizes the speed of the Hedgehog as she crouches on the ground, charges up, and tackles Sonic from running even more around her and slashes him multiple times soon after before throwing him away. Blood began to cover Sonic's face, but Sonic continued to fight as he began breakdancing very fast and unleashed a barrage of shockwaves toward her. At the same time, she runs on all fours and dodges each shockwave heading toward her. Though she escaped each shockwave from Sonic, he then circles into a ball, spins dashes towards the Leader, directly hits her in the face, and pushes her a couple of feet back but still standing. He runs in circles soon after, creating a tornado that sweeps up the Leader and blows straight into the blizzard air. But that was a mistake as Sonic couldn't see where the Leader was in the air as the blizzard blocked his view of the sky. Suddenly, the Leader reappears at the last second and lands down on Sonic, crushing him between her feet and the ground as he spits out blood from the force of the crushing. The Leader then jumps out of the way as Sonic slowly gets up but is soon attacked again by the Leader, transforming into a boar demon, ramming into Sonic and sending him flying towards a boulder, hitting it and falling soon after. The Leader then dashes towards Sonic as she opens her sharp mouth, about to bite into Sonic's neck until Sonic kicks her away from him, quickly gets up with a fit of rage as he transforms into the Frenzy Wisp and charges towards the Leader with intentions to crush the Leader with his sharp mouth now. The Leader's eyes widen, seeing that Sonic transforms into a beast, and jumps back as the Yagas are running in the direction of the beast as it continues chasing down the Leader. Tails, Mash, and Avicebron, watched as the Leader dodged each beast's attack behind her while also attacking it back. Sonic kept chasing down the Leader for a few more seconds until Sonic transformed back into his normal blue state as he dashed towards the Leader and threw a punch at her face with his injured arm, pushing her back and kneeling soon after while holding his arm, with his face covered in blood.
"Sonic..." Mash whispers
"*Covered In Blood But Is Still Standing* Hehe! Is that all you got?!" Sonic said
"This creature is no ordinary fighter! Is he some kind of being who continues to fight even if hurt? I knew we shouldn't have messed with him the second we saw him!" A Yaga Rebel Soldier shock
"Look's like I underestimated him. He's more dangerous than I thought. I honor his motivation. That is why we will surrender to him. He's not with Ivan The Terrible." The Leader said
"W-Who are you anyway?" Sonic asks
"Who am I? My name is Atalante. I wield the power of the Demonic Beast known as the Calydonian Boar. I respect your Heroism in this battle, Sonic." Atalante Alter introduced herself
"*Eyes Widen* Atalanta... As an Alter?" Sonic whispers
"It's not so bad as you might think. I'm guessing my Spirit Origin always had an affinity for this Demonic Beast. This made it easy to convince the Yaga that I was on their side." Atalante Alter said
"This is not the Atalanta I know back at Chaldea... *Sighs And Wipes The Blood Off His Face With A Cloth That Tails Gave Him And Throws It Aside* So anyway, what happened? Why are you here?" Sonic asks
"I don't know. The first thing I remember is finding myself in this land. I was summoned here by an unknown source of energy that is keeping me alive. I don't know what it is, but it works like Magical Energy from a Master." Atalante Alter replied,
"Master Emerald." Both Sonic And Tails Said
"Master Emerald? I had never heard of such a thing before. But let me ask you this, Sonic. Am I doing the right thing? Am I behaving the way a Heroic Spirit should?" Atalante Alter asks
"Well, after our little fight we just had. You are going your job as a Servant well." Sonic replied
"Good point. I pray that you are right. Anyway, let's return to our stronghold. You can all treat your wounds there. Especially you, Sonic." Atalante Alter said
"Don't worry. I already have my buddy Tails, who will fix me up in minutes inside the X-Tornado. He's always prepared when stuff like this happens." Sonic replied
"I see, so your friend knows more about first-aid. I'll happily wait for you four. Then we can get going." Atalante Alter said
*Night Time, At The Rebel's Hideout*
After following The Rebel Army with the X-Tornado Snow Mobile and passing through several Demonic Beast and using them as food, the Snowmobile has to take another direction. The group finally makes their way toward the Rebels' hideout.
"Okay, we're here. How do you feel, Sonic? Still injured?" Atalante Alter asks
"*Moving His Body* I'm feeling better than before! All thanks to Tails!" Sonic replied
"*Reconnects* Hello again, sorry for the silence. Olga and I went on a break while you three were busy with your stuff. Care to explain the details?" Da Vinci asks
"Yes, sir. I'll do my best. Master, myself, Tails, Avicebron, and Patxi are all currently accompanying the rebel army. We're just outside their hideout right now." Mash explained
"So a lot has happened while we were gone. Tell me, what does their hideout look like?" Olga asks
"Cliffs surround it. Gates are equipped with ballistae to handle frontal assaults. They've even got a barricade in place to defend. There's no way any enemies could take this place down without significant casualties. They don't call themselves the rebel "army" for nothing." Da Vinci said
"Hey, it's the Boss! The Boss is back! Open the gate!"
"Welcome back, Boss! ...Uh, is it just me, or are more of you now?"
"Yes, there are. I'll explain about them later! We brought back plenty of meat. Enough for everyone to eat their fill!" Atalante Alter replied
"Luckily, we have our food supply back inside the Snowmobile. So the four of us have already eaten." Sonic said
"Hooray! We've got meat! Thank you, Boss!" Yaga (Child) said
"Once you have eaten up, assemble the commanders for a meeting! I'm sorry, Master and company, but I'm afraid I must ask you to wait in the corner until then." Atalante Alter said
"No need to worry. We will just wait inside here while the rest enjoy your meal. No need to worry about us. We have our food here inside as well." Sonic replied
"Really? You four are already for stuff like this... I'm impressed." Atalanta Alter said
*Later That Night*
"What is it, kid?" Patxi asks
"Who's that Blue and yellow Yaga?" Yaga (Child) asks
"We are animals as well, Little buddy. Names Sonic and this behind me is my partner in crime, Tails!" Sonic replied
"Nice to meet you, kid! It's always a pleasure to meet someone kind as you!" Tails said
"Wow! They can talk as well. That's amazing! I can tell my mom, dad, and friends about you! I'm sure they will also love you two! *Runs Away*."
"Between all the kids and old folks here, it seems more like a refugee camp than anything," Patxi said
"Typical stuff during the old ages, Patxi." Tails replied
"There you are, Sonic. I need to talk with you in private." Atalante Alter said
"Uh... Sure thing." Sonic replied
Atalante Alter takes Sonic someplace else where no one else can hear them.
"Let's get this out of the way. Our goals are aligned because we both desire to overthrow Ivan the Terrible. However, recently, there have been reports about groups of robot-like enemies wandering around this place and causing a disturbance to the Yagas. If anything, many Yagas don't want to interfere with those enemies, and I can't find a plan to deal with them." Atalante Alter said
"Badnicks... So that answers my question that Eggman has already been here before us. I knew it." Sonic said
"So you know about those things? Perfect, you're the only one who can take care of those things for us. Doing so will relieve the Rebel Army since those enemies are more modern than us."
"You can count on me with that, Alter! Those machines I have taken care of for a while now! Those are pretty easy to take care of." Sonic replied
"Wait! Sorry for the sudden introduction, but my name is Da Vinci! I'm a Servant from Proper Human History, just like you. Also, I'm a genius, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you've got a tricky problem. Do you mind if I ask you a question?" Da Vinci asks
"Is that voice coming from that thing on your arm? What is that you want to answer?"
"What can you tell us about that vast tree? You wouldn't happen to know what it is, would you?" Da Vinci said
"You mean the tree so large it appears to support the entire land? I am sorry that I do not know what it is, either. However, my spy in Yaga Moscow did tell me one thing. We know its name, the "Tree of Emptiness." Atalante Alter replied
"The tree of emptiness. Sounds rather intriguing, doesn't it?" Sonic commented
"Anyway, Sonic, I want you to journey to the nearby village and pass out our manifesto. We want other Yaga to know that the rebel army exists and that our goal is to overthrow Ivan the Terrible and eliminate those robot enemies. I have marked the villages I want you to go to on this map. Make sure you visit all of them." Atalante Alter said
"Heh! I can do it in one day with my speed! You can count on me with that and my good friends," Sonic replied
