Sonic/Grand Order: Battle Against the Outer Gods

Anastasia (Part 2)


*The Next Day, The First Village*

"*Standing Besides Tails Wh Was Driving The X-Tornado Snow Mobile* Stop! This place is the first village on our list. I depend on how things will go. I can guess it can go smoothly or shit. Anyway, follow me, you three." Patxi said

"Understood. We're counting on you, Patxi." Mash said

"Try not to make a fuss about this. We are here to give this thing and continue." Sonic replied


*Village 1*

"So that's why we're hoping you can help us with any food and medical supplies you can spare," Patxi explained.

"Maybe it's because he's grown old, or because someone's talked him into it...or because there's something strange going on in Russia right now... ...but all I know for sure is that the Tsar hasn't said one thing for a while, and those robot enemies have cracked down on us harder than ever. This village has escaped their wrath because we're located far away from the closest highway and because of how poor we are. We, Yaga, must never forget what he has done for Russia and us. If he hadn't come up with a way to combine us with Demonic Beasts and turn us into Yaga...we would have died out long ago. It's only by his grace that we are alive at all. So we cannot lend our aid to the rebel army." Yaga Chief explained

"So you have already seen these Robot Enemies already before?" Sonic asks

"Yes, Young Blue, those Robot enemies have been spotted more often than before and have been causing disturbances in our villages. We don't think those things are from the Tsar, which makes it more concerning. Have you dealt with them before, Young Blue?" Yaga Chief said

"Ever since I was a little Hedgehog! I dealt with enemies my entire life. These Robots aren't from this Ivan guy who's doing these, it's someone more dangerous than him and both Tails here, and I have faced him before countless times." Sonic replied

"You, Young Blue, are indeed a true Warrior. I'll be honest. None of us would be capable of fighting for our entire lives, yet you show bravery against your enemies, no matter how strong they are. I commend you for it." Yaga Chief said

"I appreciate the compliments, buddy, but we don't have much time around here. We're going through our adventure in this land and need to investigate it." Sonic replied

"Yes, yes, indeed, something a hero would say. Fighting to protect what's right and that mysterious figure behind you. Is he... your Servant?" Yaga Chief asks

"Why, yes, I am Sonic's Servant," Avicebron replied

"We have heard of Servants before. They say you are monsters from another world and influential, despite looking like humans. I've even heard that some Servants possess power great enough to rival the Tsar. Are you one of them?" Yaga Chief asks

"I'm just as normal as my Master here. A simple scholar and golem keeper. A perfectly ordinary human, as you might find anywhere in the world." Avicebron replied

"A Human Servant being an Animal's Servant. Very interesting. Anyway, On behalf of our village, I promise to offer our full support to the rebel army. I'm afraid we can only spare a little in food and medical supplies. By the way, I trust you'll also be delivering your manifesto to the two neighboring villages. Let me write you a letter of recommendation. It should help things go more smoothly when you visit them." Yaga Chief said

"That's all we needed to hear!" Sonic replied

"I'm afraid we've lost contact with the other two villages recently. Those Robots or Demonic Beasts may have overrun them. If they have, could I ask you to give them a proper burial?" Yaga Chief asks

"*Looking Away, Thinking To Himself Before Finally Giving Yaga Chief A Response* Okay. I will do that for you. Let's get going, everyone. Onto the next village." Sonic replied


*Village 2*

The Mobile arrives at the Second village as fast as possible as the group quickly makes their towards the village to see if anyone is alright, but the town is dead and empty.

"*Walking Through The Village, Looking For Survivors* *Sighs* I was too late..." Sonic whispers

"It's alright, Sonic. None of this wasn't your fault." Mash said

"Don't you think that you were the cause of this, Sonic! Let's get going to the next village." Patxi replied

"*Looking At His Miles Electric* Wait, the Miles Electric is detecting something!" Tails said

"O-over here..."

"Senpai!"

"*Dashes Towards The Yaga* Hey, what happened? Are you alright?" Sonic asks

"Yeah... I was just knocked out for a while there... Enemies... soldiers with high-powered guns and robotic enemies, came here and started having an all-out war. We also fought as well to protect our home but couldn't..." Yaga explained

"Soldiers with High-powered weapons? Wait a minute, could that mean that G.U.N. is also investigating this place?" Tails ask

"That's the only possibility here. But why the heck are they killing the Yagas if they were fighting the Badnicks in the first place? The Yagas wanted to live in peace, and now this has happened. Man, it's just one thing under another." Sonic replied

"This sounds like a powerful Military is getting involved with our job as well! *Sigh* The best thing we do is keep a low profile against those bastards for now." Patxi said

"Dammit! Now we have another thing up or asses again! Are there any other survivors?" Yaga said

"I'm afraid not."

"Shit!"

"Where did these soldiers and robots run off to?" Patxi asks

"I don't know, but...probably one of the neighboring villages," Yaga replied

"We were just at one of those villages, so they must have gone to the other."

"Come on, Fox! Take us to the other village as fast as you can!" Patxi said

"I'm afraid we can't take you with us. But I can leave this food and some medical supplies with you." Avicebron said

"Thanks. I think I'll be okay once I rest up. If you're going to help the other village, hurry before they end up like ours. Then again, I guess you can't call this a village anymore..." Yaga replied

"Please try to survive. I promise to take care of those enemies before they find anyone else. Come on, guys!"

"Allow one of my Golems. Then it's headstart t see what's happening. I would hate for us to arrive too late." Avicebron said

"Hmph. This time, I won't let any other Yagas get hurt." Sonic replied


*Later*

"Master, the Golem I sent on ahead has found the village. It's not looking good. They have lit a red signal fire." Avicebron said

"A distress signal!" Tails and Patxi shouted

Sonic and the others heard gun noises from outside the Vehicle as they noticed fully Body-armored Human Soldiers shooting at them. Everyone ducks on the ground except Avicebron, who casually snaps his finger and summons a Golem in front of the Vehicle as the Golem slowly

"We are not your enemies. We are allies, Soldiers. Remember that." Avicebron commented

"That weG.U.N..N. soldiers, but why were they running away from the village?" Tails confuse

"Seems like the villagers put up a good fight against them and forced them to run away. But we will know more about that once we enter the third village." Sonic replied


*Third Village*

"Huh?" Mash confuse

"What seems to be the issue?" Sonic asks

"Oh, hello there. I'm guessing that place is an Island, and you people come from the outside. Isn't that correct?" Yaga Chief said

"*Looks At Sonic With Eyes Widen* Y-Yes! This place indeed is an Island, and we're from the outside! But..." Mash replied

"Ahh, thank you so much for all your help. I'm so sorry I couldn't thank you properly back then." Yaga Chief said

"You knew that this place was an Island? Wait a minute, what's the meaning of all this?" Sonic asks

"Those advanced human Soldiers came attacking us for hours to no end. We did our best to hold them off from within the village, but none of us here are strong enough to defeat even a lowly foot soldier. However, once we all played dead. They ran away. Only a couple were injured in the shootout. For them, it was like target practice. Of course, we lit a distress signal soon after the attack began, but we didn't expect anyone to respond. At best, we held out a sliver of hope that one of the nearby villages might send someone to help."

"That's good and all, but how do you know about this place being an Island and who saved you from the attack?" Sonic asks

"The Soldiers that came to attack mentioned that this place is an island and are currently working with some government to destroy this place. And after that, this human, claiming to be from Chaldea, appeared out of nowhere, defeated many of the armored soldiers in a flash with their thin sword, and cut off a few body parts. And then, there was that frightening bloodlust. Those Soldiers began to run in a panic. They must have realized they were facing an opponent they couldn't possibly defeat, even in full body armor and advanced weapons. They fled in the direction you came from. We were still dumbfounded by what we'd just seen when the human audibly. They headed off into the mountains." Yaga Chief replied

"A Sword and a human. From Chaldea. That means a Servant from Chaldea is also here, helping us without even realizing it. But who can that be? *Looks Through the Chaldea Communicator And Looking Through The Servant Names* There are many Sabers at Chaldea. But who can this Swordsman be that you just mentioned?" Sonic confuse

"Oh, I almost forgot. This is the rebel army's manifesto. Mind taking a look at it?" Patxi asks

"Ah, now I see. So Chaldea is allied with the rebel army... Well, I certainly can't refuse after you've saved our lives. We will gladly support you in any way we can." Yaga Chief replied

"Great. That's two out of the three villages on our side. Not bad. There's nothing we can do about the one that was wiped out before we got here, though... There was a single survivor in the village that got wiped out. Can you send someone there to pick him up? If you can, it'd be nice for you to give him some work here. I'm sure he wasn't hurt too badly." Patxi sad

"Well now, a survivor, you say... All right, I'll send someone out right away."

"All right, I'll give our report to Atalante."


*?*

"*Looking At The Person In Front Of Her* You are not my Master." Grand Duchess said

"What?! Where the heck did those hurtful worlds come all of a sudden? I'll have you know that if it wasn't for Master Emerald. You wouldn't be here right now! You should be thankful that I'm on your side, and we have plans to kill that filthy Hedgehog!" Dr. Eggman replied

"It wasn't you who summoned me here. It was something more beautiful than you. Even something I'm grateful for." Grand Duchess said

"Grrrrr! I knew these strange people would quickly write me off in an instant! And what the heck does she mean by Master?! I'm just a Scientist trying to get rid of that filthy Hedgehog!" Dr. Eggman said

"However, I'll only give you thanks now that I've been redefined as a Heroic Spirit. I've become a mage representing the version of Russia we are in now. In this unknown land, I've become a Grand Duchess of Ice. As well as my darling Viy. It's all thanks to you, Docter. You may not be my Master, but I appreciate your bringing me here." Grand Duchess replied

"..."

"I may look like a human on the outside, but inside, I'm much more Yaga. And because I was summoned to this place, all I can remember is that I'm Anastasia, the Grand Duchess... and a shaman who made a pact with Viy. I'm happy to be a Servant here." Grand Duchess said

"What are you trying to say?" Dr. Eggman asks

"For the work you went through to get me to where I am. Even though you aren't a Master. You are free to make use of me however you see fit." Grand Duchess replied

"*Looks At Her For A Moment And Begins To Laugh* HOHOHOHOHOHO! I knew you'd come to your senses, young lady! Don't worry. I'll use every inch of your power to kill that filthy Hedgehog!" Dr. Eggman laughed

"Thanks to this power, I can kill. I will kill Sonic The Hedgehog so that thron of yours is gone. I will kill the rebel army, who would defy the tsardom. No matter what, I will destroy. I hope to satisfy you." Grand Duchess said

"HOHOHOHOHOHO! Yes! That's what I like to hear from you, young lady! We will get rid of that Hedgehog once and for all!" Dr. Eggman laughed


*Back with Sonic And The Others*

"*Heading Back To The Hideout* We should be there shortly, the Blizzard has gotten a little stronger than before, but we shall be alright." Tails said

"Wait! Stop the Vehicle." Avicebron said

"Huh? *Slowly Stops The Vehicle* What's wrong?" Tails confuse

"*Slowly Waking Up From His Nap* H-Hey? Why did we stop all of a sudden? What's going on?" Sonic asks

"Look, something is crawling outside that is quite large. I've heard rumors that giants used to walk the earth back in the Age of Gods. It appears to resemble a large hydra. Well, Master? What would you have us do? Shall we fight it or avoid it?" Avicebron replied

"Isn't that the D'yavol Tron?"

"Are you kidding me? We're going to take it down! No matter what! I rather deal with it right now than later." Sonic said

"As you wish. We will certainly need to face this enemy sooner or later to survive here in this Russia. I will begin by slowing it down with my golems. Mash, Tails, Da Vinci, And Director, would you mind analyzing it for us?" Avicebron asks

"Will do everything we can to help you two," Mash replied

"Alright then, let's take this beast down!" Sonic said

Minutes later, Sonic and Avicebron began running towards the D'yavol Tron as the Beast noticed the two running towards it and began its attack by striking Sonic with one of its many faces. Still, Sonic quickly dodges it and counters by curling into a ball and homing, attacking all the snake heads multiple times for each lead before jumping away and finishing it off with his boost skill, ramming at it and pushing it a few feet back. D'yavol Tron roars in anger as it slows extremely fast toward Sonic and unleashes devastating strikes toward Sonic while he runs and dodges the strikes. D'yavol Tron continues to chase down Sonic while trying to attack him. Still, Sonic is quick enough to avoid all of the D'yavol Tron's attacks as a Golem that Avicebron summons appears and lands above the D'yavol Tron, crushing its snake body, grabbing one a couple of the snake heads and begins to pull them with all its might. The other snakeheads attempted to stop the Golem by striking it and biting off its body. Still, suddenly, a Servant appeared out of nowhere and unleashed a series of swords, slashing at the D'yavol Tron and dealing tons of damage towards and roaring in pain. The Golem looks down and notices Artoria Pendragon standing next to Sonic with his Command Seal glowing as the two charge toward the D'yavol Tron. Sonic curls into a ball and spins dashes at the D'yavol Tron, hitting it multiple times from different Angles and dealing good damage to it as the D'yavol Tron wasn't able to match Sonic's speed and attack him. This distraction leads to Saber charging up her sword and unleashing a power slash that slices one of the D'yavol Tron's heads, falling to the ground and vanishing. Soon after, the Golem uses its strength to two more snakeheads out of the body as blood spews everywhere, and both leaders vanish more quickly later. Sonic land's on the D'yavol Tron's body and begins to grind on it as the snake head attempt to strike him but only strikes its own body and damages itself. He then jumps off the body as he looks up at the giant snakehead, curls into a ball, and homing attacks it several times in the eyes, causing it to roar in pain. After damaging it quite enough, both the Golem and Sonic back away as Saber begins her Noble Phantasm and unleashes Excalibur towards the D'yavol Tron. They are engulfing it in a Glowing beam that erupts straight up soon after and incinerates the D'yavol Tron. After the D'yavol Tron disappears, Sonic lands beside her and looks at Pendragon, who smiles, nods, and disappears beside him, returning to Chaldea. Sonic look's at the Chaldea Communicator and notices that Saber's name returns to the Device, waiting for the next call to be summoned.

"Piece of cake!" Sonic said

"*Talking through The Speakers* Well done, Master! I've confirmed that D'yavol Tron's vital signs have disappeared! I was able to run a fairly thorough analysis on it, too. It looks like its body produces alcohol." Mash said

"All of that for something I don't like? Well, at least I had a pretty good workout session here. Come on, Avice, let's head back to this hideout." Sonic said


*Hideout*

"Welcome back, everyone. Glad to see everyone in one piece. The outside is a pain in the ass when you have many enemies against you, but all of us here are rebels fighting for a good cause. Anyway, While you were visiting those two villages, we learned about another possible ally. You see, there's another faction here in Russia. Our numbers are primarily farmers, but theirs are deserters and former nobility. ...The problem is that a Servant is also leading this faction. I've met him once. I still know little about him, but I believe he was in a class similar to mine. Also, he wasn't wearing any clothes. At any rate, given that their leader is also a Servant, it falls to me to meet with him. Avicebron, I would like you to keep an eye on our base while I am gone. Would you mind?" Atalante Alter said

"Stay here and protect this place, Avice. Remember back in our fight with that other person?" Sonic asks

"Yes, that Device worked wonders. Very well, your wish is my command. You two head to meet that Servant."

"Thanks, Avice. Tails, Mash, Patxi, you'll also be coming with us. Hey, Atalante, I know how fast you can go, care for a little race?" Sonic said

"Challenging me on speed? Hehe, you just made the biggest mistake of your life." Atalante Alter replied

"I think I made the best choice of my life. Alright, let's go!" Sonic said

"Wow, those two got along with one another real quick. Considering they aren't human." Patxi said

"They have a history with one another. But I'll tell you more about that later." Mash replied


*Later*

"*Running In High Speeds* Even if you are an Alter. You still can't pass the speed of a Hedgehog!" Sonic said

"*Running Slightly Behind Sonic* Keep talking, Hedgehog. The last thing you want is tripping over a pebble and scrapping your blood on the snow." Atalante Alter replied

"*Inside The Vehicle And Following The Two* Holy shit, those two are fast!" Patxi shock

"Those two love racing against each other. No matter in what weather they are in, they will always challenge one another." Mash replied

"I'm glad Sonic can have a partner that can run almost as fast as him like Atalante here." Tails said

"*Sniffs Something And Stops Running* Sonic, Stop!" Alter shouted

"Huh? *Skids On The Snow And Walks Back To Atalante Alter* What's wrong?" Sonic confuse

"*Sniffing* I smell Human blood. What did I mean that I smelled Human blooHumans couldn't roam for Humans to roam here in extreme weather like this." Atalante Alter said

"So you sense actual human blood, huh? Don't worry. I'll look for them for you." Patxi said

Patxi looks around for the Humans for a couple of minutes and eventually finds bodies of G.U.N. Soldiers spread across the snow, with cuts on their bodies. Almost mutilated bodies as Sonic and Atalante Alter both noticed the bodies as well.

"*Eyes Widen* What the?! Who did this?!" Sonic shock

"It look's like they were killed by a weapon... and a frighteningly sharp one at that. No Yaga sword or hatchet would make a cut so clean." Atalante Alter said

"I see footprints here... These are no Yaga prints. These are human prints. What the fuck is going on?" Patxi said

"I'm getting the harsh reality that every adventure isn't all sunshine and flowers. Brutally in a brutal way." Sonic thought

"Well, we can't just stand here and do nothing. We have to continue with our mission. Sonic, I can see the disappointed look on your face, but this is war. Your wars may have been only robots only, but this war is now actual lives with actual people. Not something fictional. Come on." Atalante Alter said

"*Sighs* I get it. *Look's Back At The Bodies Before Speeding Away With Atalante Alter As Paxti And The Snow Mobile Continues Following Them*."


*Yaga Demensk*

"*Running Through The Blizzard* What's the matter, Atalante? Can't keep up now that the Blizzard has gotten more potent?" Sonic asks

"You are one cocky, Hedgehog. Aren't you, Sonic?" Atalante asks

"Wait! Sonic and Atalante! I'm detecting someone!" Tails said through the speakers

"Huh? *Hears A Gunshot Noise As The Bullet Zooms By Sonic's Face, Narrowly Missing Him And Skids On The Ground* Hey, watch where you are aiming!" Sonic said

"Nice dodging skills, animal. But creatures like you aren't supposed to be here. I'm afraid with a storm like this going on. I've got no choice but to take a few potshots!"

"That figure... He looks familiar..." Sonic whispers

"I wish to speak to your leader! I am Atalante, hunter of Greece!"

"I ain't got a damn thing to talk about with you!"

"Well, we do! And we are coming your way, whether you like it or not!" Atalante Alter shouted"

"Fine then! If you want to come over here, be my guest! But I'm going to see what you're made of first! Let me introduce myself right proper! The name's Billy, the Kid! Get past me if you can!" Billy shouted

"Billy! *Quickly Looks At His Chaldea Communicator And Notices That Billy's Name Was Already On His Servants To Summon List* Tch... This is a different Billy and more insane than I know! Come on, Atalante! Let's show this faker that he isn't the real one!" Sonic said

Sonic dashes toward Billy as Billy quickly aims at Sonic and fires multiple gunshots toward him. Sonic quick-steps, dodging each bullet efficiently as he lunges toward Billy, with a kick towards Billy's face, but Billy quickly rolls over the attack, aims his pistol behind him, and fires more gunshots at Sonic, who curls himself into a ball as the bullets zoom over him and dodging them all together. Atalante Alter jumps right at Billy and attempts to attack him with a deadly claw attack. Still, Billy quickly reloads his pistol, aims it at Atalante Alter, and fires multiple shots at her as she quickly grabs the bullets with her hands and crushes them all soon after, dropping them onto the snow. She then attempts to attack Billy with deadly claw attacks while Billy jumps back and dodges each attack as quickly as possible. As Billy continues to avoid Atalante Alter's claw attacks, Chacha suddenly appears behind Billy and attempts to stab Billy through the heart. Still, Billy quickly rolls out the way again, realizing that another Servant appears in front of him as he quickly reloads his pistol and aims at Chacha. However, before Billy can fire at Chacha, Sonic suddenly appears above Billy and performs a powerful overhead axe kick down onto Billy's head and throws him straight down. Still, before Billy can hit the ground, Sonic lands down first and performs a Windmill attack at Billy and sends him flying towards Atalante Alter, who unleashes multiple deadly claw attacks against him before grabbing his head and smashing him down onto the ground, throwing him at Chacha who charges up her right arm, puts her palm on his chest and a pillar of flames appears soon after and damages him. Soon after, Chacha knocks Billy back, injured from the fight but still standing as he aims his pistol at the three once again. But before Billy can fire again, Tails appears out of nowhere and performs a Tails Cyclone with his Tails, knocks him from his balance, and falls forward onto the snow. Sonic smiles at Chacha and gives her a fistbump before teleporting to Chaldea.

"YEAH! Take that, Billy!" Tails shouted

"Alright, Fake Billy, what the heck are you doing here? Did you get summoned by Master Emerald as well?" Sonic said

"Ain't never heard of those before. And who are you calling fake Billy?" "Billy," replied

"Master, it's what you just said earlier. This Billy isn't the one we know back in Chaldea." Mash said

"Based on what was before about this Master Emerald. I believe that Master Emerald summoned this Billy Servant. It must've made a copy of the original Billy and changed different aspects of him. Now, we are talking with a fake version or copy of the original Billy." Da Vinci said

"This Master Emerald is quite powerful as the world summoning Servants. They seem to have a fair amount of similarities." Olga said

"Well, whoever this Billy you are thinking about. It's not me. Anyway, Hey, Berserker! That hunter lady's here! And she has some guests as well!" Billy shouted

"Hey there. Didn't know we were back on speaking terms." Beowulf said

"Ah, it looks like a fake "Beowulf" was also summoned and created by Master Emerald. Oh, the irony." Sonic said

"Who is this talking, Rodent? A Rodent who is a Master. He doesn't seem like he's working with Ivan The Terrible or another fat enemy with stupid robots as his slaves." Beowulf said

"Ah, so you've met Egghead before? You may not know me, but I am that guy's enemy. And if I'm guessing, I'm probably sure he's said the name "Sonic" before, am I right?" Sonic asks

"This Rodent has intelligence. And also, he isn't afraid of me. HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's what I like to see from a strong warrior! I'll tell you what, Sonic. If you can show me your strength against me, I'll respect you as a fighter and not mess with you. Have a deal? Just me and you." Beowulf said

"Sounds good to me! And I'll also make a deal. I won't summon a Servant to come and assist me in battle. Cause I know, I will take you down!" Sonic replied

"HAHAHAHAHA! Then come, Rodent! Show me what you got!"

Sonic smiles as he dashes toward Beowulf and throws a punch at him, but it is quickly blocked by Beowulf's Club, pushing him back. Sonic then skids to the ground as Beowulf charges at Sonic and swings his Club at Sonic multiple times, trying to land a hit on him while side-stepping backward and dodging each attack as quickly as he can. After escaping Beowulf's attacks for as long as he can, Sonic notices an opening to counter as he jumps right at Beowulf's face and performs a 3-hit spinning kick directly at his face, and pushes Beowulf away a couple of feet away, leaving space between the two to gather some air. Beowulf smiles as Sonic smiles from the impressive fight he is giving, lunges at Sonic again, and swings his Club at him again. Still, Sonic jumps over the attack, looks up, notices Beowulf hanging down his sword, and dodges it by getting out of the way as fast as possible and dashing behind Beowulf, curling into a ball, grinding on the ground, and unleashing a shockwave that hits Beowulf in the back and hits him behind, causing some damage towards Beowulf. Beowulf turns around and roars in anger as he swings his sword down at Sonic but dodges it suddenly. Beowulf swings his Club across Sonic, hitting him in the face and sending him falling, rolling on the snow, and lying motionless on the ground for a little. Beowulf laughs as Sonic slowly gets back up, rubs his cheek from the injury as he dashes towards Beowulf, crouches down as Beopwuld swings his club over him, and performs a Sonic Flare move that knocks snow into Beowulf's face and blocks his vision as he then performs multiple Homing attacks towards Beowulf. Hitting in different angles before finishing it off with a Boost move directly at Beowulf's stomach, sending him flying, beating a dead tree, and falling soon after. Beowulf looks up and notices Sonic running towards him and performing a Sonic Updraft Kick right at his chin and throwing his body straight into the air before jumping at him and doing an overhead axe kick that sends Beowulf back down onto the snow while laughing. Sonic then lands next to him and wags his finger.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Now that was a great fight! A fight I haven't enjoyed in a while! You have my respect, Sonic. Now I'll know not to mess with you!" Beowulf said

"*Bows Down* Hehe! Glad I can put on a good show for you. Now then, let us get going." Sonic replied


*Later, Thug Village*

"It looks like the army were too scared to come near you when we came, Rodent. The weak always fear the strong." Beowulf said

"You don't need to judge your opponents. Everyone is strong in their ways, and that's no problem. We have a lot to talk about this place and you." Sonic replied

"Yes, for the love of god, just tell us everything that's been happening here," Beowulf said

"Before we say anything. Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Atalante. I am the Servant leading the rebel army against Ivan the Terrible. I am pleased we have had the chance to sit face-to-face and speak." Atalante Alter said

"Same here. I'm glad you stopped by. The Yaga here can be a little weird at times. 'Course, that's probably why they didn't have a place under Ivan's regime. Especially those dumb soldiers with full-body armor and those robots as well." Beowulf replied

"For our part, the rebel army decided to revolt because they were too weak to survive under Ivan's rule. I know our groups possess very different temperaments, but would it be possible for us to join forces nonetheless?"

"Tails, Avicebron, Mash, Olga, Da Vinci, and I, as the team leader, are our only army with top secret backup for the direst situation," Sonic said

"Only a small number in your army, but you have managed to survive this long. But for the moment, joining forces is a no." Beowulf said

"The Yaga in the rebel army had no issue with my being a woman. But given how the others were looking at me earlier."

"For these Yaga, male chauvinism's the order of the day. There's no strong female Yaga. Or at least, there weren't any that were able to prove their strength. So this lot's gone and decided that all females are weak everywhere." Beowulf replied

"What the heck are you talking about with that statement? Men and women are both equally capable of fighting as well! I fought against countless female fighters, and they all put up a good fight against me! They were more difficult to combat, unlike you, Fake Beowulf!" Sonic said

"..."

"And also, were you the one who killed those soldiers we spotted before arriving here?!" Sonic questioned

"Killed those soldiers? Well, I did say about those stupid soldiers annoying this land, but they haven't arrived in this place at all. However, I have heard rumors about a human killer spreading around in killing yagas and weak human soldiers altogether. Whoever it is happened to save one of our guys at one point, and he said they claimed to be from Chaldea and were a Servant to a tiny little animal. Could it be you, Rodent?" Beowulf asks

"*Looking The Servant Names Once More* I'm trying to figure out that myself. But I have no clue, either. I know many swordsmen, but I don't know who killed both Yaga and G.U.N. soldiers." Sonic replied

"See, Yaga's more than a bit tough to kill," Billy said

"And since you guys held your own against us, they'll accept you too," Beowulf explained

"Truly, we'd love to get out of this place ourselves."

"But we can't. We know what would happen if we did. The Yaga would turn to bandits as well! I'm guessing you have run into them a few times. But if you didn't, those weak Humans must've dealt them. They used to be part of our group." Beowulf said

"After seeing other beings unlike them seeing the battle before. I'm guessing they are second-guessing their reminds." Atalante Alter replied

"Tails. How many G.U.N. Soidlers have we found out there already?" Sonic asks

"It was a small amount, but this unknown Swordsman severely defeated them. The Yagas, however, were higher than I could ever imagine." Tails replied

"What was supposed to be just another adventure turns deadly. Deadlier than the Sinuralityes I went through with Mash." Sonic said

"You went through a lot, haven't you, Rodent? How about this t make things easier? Instead of joining forces, we ally. That way, there shouldn't be any problem." Beowulf said

"Hey, don't look at me. Tell that to Atalante. We already have our group of six on our own." Sonic replied

"Hmm. So we would each carry out our tasks separately but work toward the same goal? Yes, that WOULD be better. We may not be able to coordinate our plans of attack, but we could at least avoid getting in each other's way. How would we communicate?" Atalante Alter asks

"Well, what about that Fox's modern tablet here with us? It seems to detect everything and work wonders." Billy said

"Sorry about that, Billy. Miles Electric can only communicate with a certain amount of people. Mainly Sonic and other people I've known long before." Tails replied

"Gotcha. Well, that's a right shame. Suppose we can always use the Demonic Beast we domesticated. You got any Casters workin' for you?" Billy asks

"We do, but it's a long story about where they are. So I'll leave that a secret." Sonic replied

"*Sigh* I suppose that doesn't leave us much choice. I'll go with you!" Billy said

"So what, you're just gonna pawn these guys off on me?" Beowulf said

"The heart of it is that I got a feelin' we Servants were summoned here to fight this Ivan the Terrible. 'Course that's true of you as well, Beo, but you got other things to keep you here." Billy replied

"Billy. You don't need to say anything more. Go on then, get out of here."

"I surely will. Sorry to be leaving you behind with all the challenging work. Thanks, Beo. You take care of these folks while I'm away." Billy said

"Well, it looks like we a new partner joining us the craze for now on. And thanks for the back, Beo. Although you aren't the Beo I know, I still give you my thanks." Sonic said

"Just be careful. Ivan the Terrible's terrible news. I've never seen him in person, but I can tell he's like a bomb waiting to go off." Beowulf said

"This Ivan the Terrible guy isn't a big deal to me. The only one that matters to me the most is Dr. Eggman. Although Dr. Eggman is my main target, Ivan is just an obstacle I must overcome to get to Eggehead." Sonic replied

"Some cold-blooded words there, kid. Underestimating Ivan The Terrible is next to insane. But with you and your history of fighting, It's understandable." Beowulf said

"One last thing, can you tell us about that tree supposedly called the Tree of Emptiness?" Mash asks

"I think that answers your question. It's a plain old tree."

"Hmmm... I guess the only thing we have to do is visit that tree. And eventually, we will have to." Tails replied

"I definitely wouldn't do that if I were you. That thing's right near Yaga Moscow. Not the kind of place you just wander into for a bit of sightseeing." Beowulf said

"Well, you can't stop since we will see it eventually. No matter what enemies are there, we will take them down." Sonic replied

"I heard reports from the Capital that a Fat Person with a red coat has been spotted working a young woman and Ivan. I can only think that the young woman there is the Grand Duchess. And she earned the highest respect from anyone there despite being human." Atalante Alter said

"Red Coat? Sonic, that's Dr. Eggman! He's working with Ivan the Terrible and that young lady who calls her the Grand Duchess!" Tails said

"Not a suprise is coming from Egghead. But it doesn't matter. We are going to take those three down! No matter what!" Sonic replied


*?*

"What do you mean you spotted Sonic and didn't attack him on the spot?! I thought I commanded you to do so!" Dr. Eggman shouted

"It's alright, Docter. I was just a little preoccupied with a few things from killing that Hedgehog. No need to be shouting. Hehe." Koyanskaya replied

"Grrrrr! It's bad enough that those stupid soldiers are here. But for that Hedgehog to be still roaming around is nothing more than annoying! You and that lady over there have been talking to one another about that Rat and what he does for a living!" Eggman said

"No need to worry, Docter. I just needed to know a little more about this thron of yours before I kill him for you. Besides, I heard some are going against the Tsar's Glory. If you would please follow me. I'll be happy for you to witness such a glorious kill." Grand Duchess said

"Yes, young lady! I like your attitude! Unlike Miss Koyan here. I want you to say those words against me. Kill that Hedgehog! Eventually, that dream will become a reality for all three of us!" Dr. Eggman said

"And finally, once that Hedgehog is gone. I can start working on the Death Egg and my amusement park." Dr. Eggman thought

"HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
