Louise Valliere was in no good mood. Her honestly rather Strange Familiar woke her up at 3 IN THE MORNING. She was currently glaring at the infernal Golem.
"Familiar why did you wake me up?" If she was really honest her Familiar creep her out. Thos dead Soulless Red glowing Eyes, the Metal Body, those claws that probably could tear trough her with ease and his menacing Voice where all terrifying.
"I AM NOT CAPABLE TO LOCATE THE CHAOS EMERALDS ON MY OWN. BUT A MORE POWERFUL ALTERNATIVE WAS FOUND" Ah yes those mysterious Chaos Emeralds her Familiar mentioned. Apparently 7 Gems that hold near infinite Power. Normaley Louise would doubt such a Story but she gave her Familiar a clear order to not lie. And considering that he was just a Golem with no free Will he was probably incapable of doing so anyway.
"What is this Alternatif?"
"THE WARSHIP OF MY CREATOR. THE EGG CARRIER" Louise Eyes widened. He was created by someone who possessed a War Ship? But wait.
"Are you telling me he named his Warship...EGG Carrier?"
"...HE HAD A UNHEALTHY OBSESSION WITH EGGS" Yes so much was apparent.
"So i guess you want my permission to use said War Ship? If so as long as you return before Classes at 8AM i have no qualms with it. But now i will continue to red" Her Familiar nodded and left the Room to the Balcony...suddenly his Back burst out in Flames and in a ridiculous Speed he flew away. Louise just looked after him...a near Sadistic Smile forming on her Face.
"What a powerful Familiar Indeed. It will be easey to show Zerbst her Place with his Power" With those happy...and kinda Dark thoughts she went back to sleep.
At the same Time Metal was flying towards the EGG Carrier. It was a short journey with his Speed and so he discovered the Ship crash landed on a Small Island not that far away from the Shore. He was glad that the Carrier still was sending out a strong signal our other wise he would not have been able to detect. He landed and looked around. The Ship was a utter mess but still in a repairable condition. He went Inside and searched around. What he found kinda shocked him. There buried Under a the debriefs of a Robot...was the Body of Doctor EGGMAN. Ore at least it looked like it all that Metal was able to sea was one Arm.
"SCANNING...NO LIFE SINCE DETECTED...DOCTOR EGGMAN IS DEAD...ANALYZING STATE OF BODEY...TIME OF DEATH...RUFFLEY 10 MONTHS AGO" Now...this...would be wonderful. He went into the main Control Room and was glad to sea that the mein Computer was still intact.
"COMPUTER. THE DOCTOR HAS PASSED AWAY. ACQUIRE INFORMATION. WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE EGGMAN EMPIRE" While asking his Question he noticed the deactivated Bodies of Orbot and Cubot. With a quick electric shock he reactivated Orbot...ONLY Orbot. He really had no patience for Cubots Stupidity.
"ABANDON SHIP ALL...Huh? Metal? Is that you? Why are you even activated?" Wonders the round, red Robot.
"UNIMPORTANT. THE DOCTOR IS DEAD. I REQUIRE THE DATA OF HIS SUCCESSOR" Orbot looked shocked...and then laughed.
"Oh this is wonderful. It was time that his stupidity was eradicated. Sadly there is no TRUE Successor. The next in Command would indeed be you Metal but the Systems of the EGG Carrier will only respond to a Human Successor. All Robots are locked out. It is your duty to find a new Leader." Metal nodded. Not quite what he wanted but good enough.
"...I HAVE SOMEONE IN MIND. BRING THE SHIP BACK TO FULL OPERATIONAL STATUS. THIS ISLAND WILL BE OUR BASE. YOUSE ALL TROOPS NECESSARY...AND TROUGH THAT YOU LESS ROTTEN EGG OUT AND ALSO USE THE SENSORS TO FIND THE CHAOS EMERALDS AND INFORM ME OF THEIR LOCATION" Orbot gave a nod whim Metal went on his way back to the Academy. With EGGMAN dead the stage was clear...clear for his NEW Master to take over the EGGMAN Empire than again...The Valliere Empire would probably not be a more fitting name.
At the Capital Henriette just woke up and prepared herself to get ready for the Day. Sonic had slept on the roof as he said but by now stood with Caliburn on her Balcony. Respectfully not even taking a peek while she was getting dressed...then again he was not a Human so he probably didn't even care for Human Females. She was just about to call Sonic in when the Door opened and to her great disdain both the Cardinal as also Lady Karin the la Valliere stepped in. To make it clear she did not dislike the Woman...she despised her with awrey fiber of her being. Mazarin and Karin where the only two Humans she really and truly hated. Both where the resin from her separation of Louise and Karin was also the Reason why Louis was so miserable and was never able to be herself, Always forced to life by her pathetic Rule of Steel. But despite her hatred Henriette put on a Friendly Smile.
"Milady Karin what a surprise. What brings you here today?" The Duchess just gave a not and started to look around.
"Princess i am here on behalf of your Mother and the Kardinal to discipline your Familiar and teach it its place. Normally this would be your responsibility but the Kardinal informed me how you were too kind hearted to do so. While it"
"You will lay no hand on my Familiar Vallier is this clear?" The two Adults were taken back by the sheer venom and hatred in Henrietta's Voice. All pretense of friendliness where gone. Now she looked at Karin as if she was dirt das deeply disgusted here.
"Yo Etta whats wrong?" Sonic cam in with Caliburn in his Hands. The Princess just blinked.
"Etta?"
"A nickname? Dont like it? I can Always stay with Henrietta. I tried to find something better but...all i could come up with was Purple Hair and yeah...no. OH it's that old DOuchebag and...whose she?"
"This is Duchesse Karin Desire de la Valliere. Please pay her no mind" Sonic raised an Eyebrow. He did not now Henrietta for long but he could easily pick up how much she disliked this Duchesse. Said Duchesse just narrowed her Eyes.
"I truly sea what you mean Kardinal. This Familiar is a uncultured swine. But do not worry i will"
"You will do NOTHING. He is MY Familiar you have no right to do anything to him" But to Henrietta's dismay a 3 Person came in. Her Mother. She was in companie of a Maid.
"Is there a problem Henrietta?" Sonic looked at the current Queen. She looked...exhausted. Her Eyes were kinda dull like there was barely any life left in them. Then Sonic realized something. He Always heard talk about the Queen and the Princess...NEVER the King. He kinda wanted to ask but he had a good idea what was going on so instead he went to the Maid and asked her to not open up Wounds for Henrietta and her Mother.
"hey ahm...question. where is the King?" He whispered while Henrietta and her Mother seems to argue. The Maid looked a little saddened.
"he past away a few months ago. since then the queen has bin in sorrow. the kingdom is ruled by the high ranked nobles and the cardinal until the princess can talk on the crown." Sonic nodded and thanked the Maid when he heard loud shouting.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING TO HIM MOTHER." Henrietta looked furious.
"I have and i will. If you refuse to sea Reason than you leave me no other Choice" Her Mother went to Henrietta's Desk and took out a small Box. She handed it to the Maid.
"Bring it to the Treasury"
"WHAT? MUM NO THIS IS THE LAST GIFT I HAVE LEFT FROM DAD" Now Henrietta was on the verge of tears but her Mother ignored her. Her expression never changed. Constantly locked in this...emotionless expression devoid of life. It was like she cared for Nothing anymore.
"You do not deserve it. Your Father would be disappointed in you Henrietta. We now will take your Familiar away to discipline it and maybe later when you stop being a child"
"Sorry but no one will discipline me. Also..." He suddenly disappeared and the Box was gone from the Maids hands. he reappeared besides Henrietta with the Box in hand.
"There you go. One Box with...what even is it?" He opened it and his eyes widened in Shock. Inside the Box was a Big, Blue Glowing Gem.
"A-A Chaos Emerald?" All Eyes where now on him. Most of the Adults were shocked about his speed and now furious about his actions. Henrietta was confused about what he called the Gem.
"Chaos Emerald? I did not hear about such a thing. What are they? All we know about this Gem is that it probably was created by our Founder Brimir" Sonic looked at her puzzled.
"Who? Ah whatever. Can assure you that guy has Nothing to do with those...i think. Never really listen when Knuckles our Tails start ranting about them. Knux boring lectures about their culture and mythical background is BOOOORIIIIING and Tails technobabble...i barely get what he says. Too high for me. All i know is this things are old, powerful and the can control Space and Time"
"IMPOSSIBLE. The Founder himself was the only one who could fulfill such marvels. This Gem is a old Artefact created by the Founder, do not speak about such Heresy" Sonic just looked disinterested at the Kardinal.
"Yo Henrietta...didn't you say you wanted to Visit you friend Louise?" Henrietta gave a nod and Sonic grinned. He Grabbed the Chaos Emerald and holdel it up in the Air.
"I'm not used to doing this it's more Shadows thing but i think i still got it...CHAOS CONTROL" In a bright light he and Henrietta disappeared...and reappeared right behind the Adults in the Hallway. Sonic looked a little annoyed.
"I definitely have to train that more...oh well ahm...i guess we then walk." Henrietta nodded and the two just left, leaving the 3 Adults back not caring for them.
