A/N: Here goes the new chapter. Hope you have fun reading.
Recap in last chapter:
While going to check on Sierra and Silver at the opera show, Sonic, Shadow and Scourge were interrupted by a group of Rebel Riders' insect liminal, along with an old enemy Nazo the Hedgehog, who was created from the dark power of Master Emerald. Nazo informs them about four devil gems and Sierra being a devil. After being done with Rebel Riders and Nazo, Sierra and the three hedgehogs return home. Then at midnight, a mysterious robot brings Silver to Sierra and claims himself to be Omega. Sierra believes him and takes care of Silver by treating his wounds and keeping him in her room for the rest of the night.
White Blue Contradictions
Meanwhile: (General P.O.V)
"...You just did not release that rat alive, did you, doctor?!"
Infinite could not believe that Eggman let Silver the Hedgehog go, on top of that with...Metal Sonic. Although, the robot himself wanted to escort the ivory hedgehog for some reason.
"Silver didn't come by himself, he was ported here somehow. I would have cared if it were Sonic. Besides, I'm busy." Eggman was surprisingly indifferent. "It was Metal Sonic's idea, so ask him if you have any problem."
"You mean...Neo Metal Sonic, right?" The jackal grumbled, "What exactly did you do to him that he suddenly got this high attitude?!"
"I have upgraded him to Neo form before, but this time I pulled a new trick." The scientist replied, "I replaced his previous personality with Sonic's along with a new level AI so that he can have feelings and make his own decision. Besides, he is a...Sonic, even though artificially. So, he just did what Sonic would have done. I think I should have created Metal Sonic like this from the beginning, or else he would never have lost to Sonic."
"What's wrong with you all? Lately, you haven't been focusing to take down those bunch of rats, are you?"
"I've always been doing that." Eggman now turned to him, "But I realized that in order to defeat Sonic, I need a team like he has. Hence, I've upgraded Metal Sonic with Neo form and new personality. So that he doesn't stay only as a robot, but also as a handy companion. I've also welcomed you even after your failure, didn't I?"
Infinite had no words, before he murmured, "Still...we're outnumbered."
"Here, take a look." Eggman motioned him to approach something. There was a sleeping capsule like thing in front of him. But inside the capsule...someone was lying down. A male hedgehog precisely. He had fawn muzzle, chest and hands. His body contained dark black fur and his quills had blue streaks. His eyes were closed so the eye color was not determined.
"Who's this hedgehog?"
"Take a guess."
"I don't remember seeing him ever." Infinite replied confidently.
"Obviously, you don't." Eggman chuckled, "But, can't you guess anything by his features?"
Infinite took a good look on the unconscious black hedgehog. Then finally he said, "Well, his muzzle and physique reminds of Sonic. But his body fur and quills style are kinda like Shadow's."
"There you go." The scientist finally cleared it. "He's been created from using both Sonic and Shadow's DNA and the energy of chaos emerald. Those two hedgehogs were once infused into a unified form named 'Shadic', who is way too powerful. So, I came up with the idea of someone, who could challenge Shadic. And here he is."
"Wow...really?" The jackal was not so convinced. "I thought you talked much bigger about Death Egg Robot previously."
"That's where the difference is." Eggman irritably said, "It was a robot, and this is a living creature."
Then their conversation was stopped, as the capsule started to give signal to open. Eggman got some things ready. Finally, the lid opened and then the lying hedgehog opened a pair of dark blue eyes. He slowly sat up, before giving the human and the jackal an intense stare.
"Ehem..." Eggman cleared his throat to ease up the situation, "Infinite, meet my new masterpiece...uh...evil Shadic...err...Shadonic...no...Sonadow?"
The jackal rolled his eyes, "Really, Eggman? You don't even know your masterpiece's name?"
The human scientist frowned childishly, "Of course, I know! I mean, I'll fix a name combining Sonic and Shadow-..."
"I'll bring dooms day for those, who'll stand in my way." Surprising both, the hedgehog now spoke up. "My name is...Seelkadoom the Hedgehog."
"Seelkadoom?" Eggman went wide eyed to see that his creation just named himself.
"...At least that's much better than your evil-Shadic or Sonadow." Infinite retorted, before remembering something, "By the way, doctor. Who was the human girl that Metal Sonic was being 'obsessed' with?"
"That girl is...mmm..." Eggman almost slipped, before holding his tongue, "...uh...some human who Sonic has crush on. Since, Metal Sonic always competes him, so he decided to chase this girl. None of our business...hehe..." He awkwardly laughed, "Now if you excuse me, I'll do some research with Shadonic, I mean Sonadow... I mean-..."
"It's Seelkadoom!" The hedgehog groaned annoyedly.
Infinite had his mask on, so neither Eggman nor Seelkadoom could see the suspicious look on his face...from completely disbelieving Eggman's words about Metal Sonic's issue with the girl.
Venice the Hedgehog stirred in his deep sleep to feel something against his body. It was not that bothering, but he was feeling uncomfortable to suddenly have something big pressed right on his chest while sleeping. He slowly opened his aquamarine blue eyes...only to see blonde hair over his chest, and they were definitely not his yellow chest fur. He yelped in surprise, before hearing a female voice,
"Mn...don't yell at my ear...fluffy boy."
"Bliss...!"
There the blonde hog girl was, snuggling with her ivory Mobian sidekick, or 'pet' in her terms, she was holding him to feel his soft chest fur. It did not take long for the secretly perverted hedgehog to notice her one-piece cream yellow see-through sleeping dress, with a matching set of bra and panties underneath. He could see every detail of her back and bubble butt. Her body scent was hitting his nostrils, arousing feral lust in his sense.
"What are you doing here now, Bliss?" Venice slowly said, making an attempt to make her get off...so that he could see her from front. She did not get off, but he was not deprived from his desire, as she just shifted her side, giving him her front view that rose up his pheromones within microsecond.
"Have you forgot that you're my teddy bear...?" She sleepily mumbled, "...No...teddy hog."
His eyes shifted from her body to her face, "I thought those days were over...for you."
Now, azure blue eyes shot open, and fell onto aquas with a confused expression. The hedgehog quickly said, "I mean...it's been a long since you cuddled me."
The hog girl smiled and scooted to him, "Did you miss me?"
"I-I don't know." Venice had to look away, not only to hide his nervousness, but also to stop staring at Bliss's lustful body...because if he kept looking, the 'arousing problem' in his crotch would not take long to appear out of its sheath. And the hedgehog knew...that would not turn on the girl, but only would disgust. After all...he still was just a pet. "Lately we've been busy on your mission, and I often get tired after late night video gaming." He tried to keep his tone as monotonous as possible.
"That's why, I missed cuddling you...And I was planning to hop with you for a while." Bliss said, pinching his black nose, "You're too adorable not to hug!"
Venice let out an annoyed sigh, "Stop saying that. I'm not like that."
"Hehe no matter how edgy you act, that never changes your cuteness." She giggled.
"Right...after all, I'm just a walking stuffed toy for you...nothing more than that." The frustrated hedgehog spat directly. The hog girl did not reply right away. She stared him for few seconds.
"Are you upset, Venice?" She only used to call by his real name only whenever there was something serious, "...About Mephiles?" Her assumption turned out to be right, as the ivory furred anthropoid male looked away. The blonde haired liminal female gripped his muzzle to face her. He faced but did not reply.
"You won't worry about that." Bliss's voice was unlikely firm, "We just met him...I won't regard him as ally until I know who actually he is. And even if he cooperates us, he'll only stay as an ally or subordinate of mine at most. No one can replace you. Because..." She pulled him closer, "I'll be alright if the world leaves me alone because that's what it always has been...but I can't say the same about you, Venice. I won't like it...if you ever get tired of me."
"Which I will never." Now that warmed up the albino hedgehog's cold heart. "If I wanted to leave you...I already would have left. I told you before, I couldn't even imagine myself without you. As for Mephiles, I'll tolerate him not only for you, but also for myself." Venice paused for a second. "Mephiles might be a ticket to reach Silver. So, this time, I'll teach him a lesson for good." He stated sternly.
"Wasn't framing Silver as Eggman Nega's murderer and Iblis enough for you?"
"Enough you're saying..." Aquamarine blue eyes narrowed, "Did I even start anything, Bliss?! After that bastard started living with that moronic speedster Sonic and his group, how can he be convicted for a murder which has not even been committed according to present timeline?! As for Iblis, yes I set the flames after we sealed him, but it would rather get that kitty Blaze blown out, not Silver!"
The blonde girl coldly said, "I see, you've been working a lot on your brother-"
"Don't you say that! I don't have any brother, neither any family...you're all I have now."
"Sssh...that's enough. You can focus on that later. Right now, we have more important things to attend." Bliss sighed, before cuddling the white hedgehog again. "Let's have a good sleep now. We need to leave for Soleanna as early as possible."
"Come here." Venice pulled the little blonde girl on top of him, so that she could rest her head on his fluffy chest. Bliss purred at the comfort that Venice provided by rubbing and scratching her neck, back and the undersides of her hair. The ivory hedgehog radically thought how he had gotten used to be entangled with the blonde hog girl, and yet...
They are not lovers...
"Fluffy boy?"
"Hmm...?" He thought she was already asleep.
"After you're done with Silver...you'll forgive him, won't you?"
"Just go to sleep, Bliss." Void of emotion was in his voice. "I thought you just said, we had more important things to focus on."
"Hmph...just as I thought..." Bliss's voice was slightly muffled as she had her face pressed into yellow furry chest. "No matter how tough you have become now...deep down inside, you're still the same softy that you were before."
"How could you be so sure?" Venice demanded irritably.
"Because...you actually care about Silver, don't you? If you wanted to hurt him, you got hundreds of opportunities all this time-"
"Don't be so confident on yourself, Bliss." He sternly cut her off. "I just didn't harm him physically but I framed him as a criminal...just as you suggested. And in the end, I'll face Silver myself and show him who's better among us."
"In that case...good luck with that." Bliss yawned, finally about to slumber, "Just don't sadden yourself after whatever happens." With that, she went silent. Her breath slowly started to rise and fall. Venice was still awake, rubbing and caressing her, along with being in thoughts. When he made sure that the hog girl was fully asleep,
"You know me so well, and you truly care about me." The hedgehog murmured, "Then why do you never understand how much I love you...?"
Next Morning:
Sierra's P.O.V:
I woke up as sunlight hit on me. For some reason, I felt pretty good...maybe because I slept well. I yawned before my memory triggered about previous night. Silver...he was back here, being escorted by a robot. I kept him in my room and I was sleeping beside my bed. Now I'm on my bed...so where is he?
Within moments, I rushed out of my room. On the way to Silver's room, I spotted the blue furred hedgehog drinking something.
"Sonic,"
"Mmm?" He turned to me, before choking. "Ugh!" *cough cough
"Relax...take your time." I sighed at his condition, "I just wanted to ask if you have seen Silver."
"Silver...? Did he come back?"
Sonic probably slept early last night, he might have not seen the white hedgehog yet. "Yes, last night he was escorted here by someone." I replied before hearing footsteps. I turned to see a certain black furred hedgehog coming out from his room. When my blue eyes met his red ones, I saw his flustered face. I also reciprocated when I remembered about hugging him at the opera theater. But I also remembered, when Silver was in my room, Shadow was still awake because I heard him talking over phone. So he must had seen him.
"Uh...morning Shadow. Did you happen to see Silver? He returned yesterday."
Now, Shadow's blush was replaced by surprise. "What're you saying, Star? I was awake at the living room past midnight. I would have known if he was there."
"He was in my room. I aided his wounds, he was sleeping. I woke up now and he is not there." I said in detail.
"Wait..." Sonic interrupted, "Did you just say Silver was in YOUR ROOM last night?!" He seemed annoyed somehow.
"Yes, I did. And I didn't want to disturb any of you because you three were tired too after fighting with Rebel Riders."
"Okay..." Shadow seemed pretty irritated too. "Let's go to his room then."
Three of us stepped into Silver's room with me being ahead. I was horrified to see...the bed was clean and tidy...as if no one stayed here before.
"If Silver has returned, then where he is?" Shadow crossed his arms.
"No way...!" I gasped.
"Sierra...I think you're too much stressed about Silver." Sonic remarked.
"But I swear that wasn't hallucination!" I still argued before remembering something solid, "A robot brought him back here. You might know him, Shadow, because he said he was from G.U.N. His name was like Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta..." I blabbered all the Greek letters I knew, "No...it's Omega!"
Now Shadow truly had a puzzled look on his face. "Omega brought Silver back?! Are you sure about that, Star?"
"That bot said that his name was Omega." I sternly answered, "He addressed me as Princess so I asked him how he knew me. Then he said about being connected with G.U.N!"
"What the hell are you talking about?! Last night Omega was with Rouge on a mission out of the town! I talked to them yesterday." The black hedgehog was now angry for real. "Besides, if Omega had really found Silver, then he would've let me know at first!"
"How would I know that?!" I yelled back, "I just said what I saw."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Hey hey...chill down you two! There's no point quarreling." Sonic tried to stop the heated argument. "Look Sierra, we couldn't find Silver anywhere, but I'm sure he'll be back soon. So, don't worry. And Shadow, since she mentioned about Omega, then you should personally talk to that bulky bot, I guess."
"...Guys?" A new voice said. Turning there, I saw...a certain ivory furred hedgehog, who I was seeking madly since yesterday.
General P.O.V:
Silver thought that he heard some commotion while showering. After bathing, when he finally came out with a towel around his shoulder...in his room, he found the redhead hog girl and the black hedgehog arguing while the blue hedgehog tried to stop them. So, he had to get their attention.
The moment Sierra turned to see Silver standing, all her rational thoughts flew away as she ran towards him...before wrapping her arms around him, causing the towel fall from his shoulder.
"Tell me it's you, Silver!" The hog girl tightly hugged the hedgehog, with tears nearly forming in her eyes. "I thought I would never see you again!"
The white hedgehog was dumbfounded at first, before he felt the girl slightly sob. He closed his eyes and embraced her, soothing by rubbing her back.
"It's indeed me, Princess. Thank you for taking care of me last night. I'm truly sorry for making you worry."
"No..." She pulled back before looking up to his eyes. "I should be the one to apologize. I was being a jerk with my own problems-..."
She was cut off by a finger on her lips, "This isn't only your problem anymore, Sierra. Whether you accept it or not, you've become one of us now. So, if there's anything, we all are in for it." Silver pulled her closer before leaning on her face, "No matter what, I'll always be there for you...so you'll never be alone."
Silver slightly smirked as Sierra's pale cheeks turned rosy in embarrassment. He did not say anything further so that he could enjoy the cute sight. But they were too into themselves to realize...there were two more hedgehogs in the room.
Shadow tried his best to keep his indifferent look and mood...by convincing himself that Sierra meant nothing more than a housemate from another species, whose protection was his current mission as G.U.N. agent. Also, he should be relieved by Silver's return.
"Well now," He finally interrupted, "Care to explain Silver, why weren't we aware of this? I just argued with Star for no reason."
"Didn't you guys hear the sound of shower running, Shadow? Oh right, you were too busy arguing to hear that." Silver sarcastically replied.
"Whatever...and did Omega bring you back here?"
"Omega...you mean your robot friend? I don't remember anything after being teleported because I was knocked out. So, I can't tell who found me. But..." The ivory hedgehog suddenly thought something, "I've this feeling inside that tells me about a person I saw before being senseless...and it was kinda like Infinite."
"Infinite...? Wasn't he dead or something?"
"I don't know. I just thought I saw someone like him."
"We'll talk about it later." Shadow decided to end it, "I'm getting hungry and I've to be at G.U.N. within an hour." He walked out of the room.
Sierra turned to Silver, "What would you like to have for breakfast today?"
"Particularly not anything...but pancakes with maple syrup would be nice."
"Well then, pancake it is. I just need to revise the recipe for a minute."
"Wait...are YOU gonna make breakfast?!" Silver did not expect it.
"Hm...consider it as your welcome home." Sierra cockily chuckled.
"But first of all, Sierra..." Finally the blue hedgehog reminded them of his presence there, "...I think you should change." There was an awful tone unlike Sonic's usual cool voice.
The small redhead girl was now aware about her night clothes, before blushing like hell. "Oh right, excuse me then!" She ran out of the room without further word.
"Hey Sonic," Silver greeted the other hedgehog when the hog girl was no more there, "How was it going?"
"Perfectly fine."
The albino hedgehog noticed that Sonic was smirking, and it was not his usual friendly smile...it was rather creepy. The blue hedgehog actually wanted to make obvious that...it was going perfectly fine without Silver. He also noticed his fellow's suspicious look on him.
"Hey Silvy," So, Sonic brought back his cool friendliness, "I was wondering...don't you miss Blaze?"
That definitely caught Silver off-guard, he almost stammered, "Wha-what?!"
"Why? You like her, don't you?"
"Well..." Silver tried to find a proper answer, before his mind triggered something...as he shot back.
"I could say the same to you, Sonic."
The blue hedgehog's coolness was about to disappear again, but he held it, "Hehehe...I just flirt with her. She's so serious that makes it funnier."
"But you know..." The white hedgehog threw back to the blue his own boomerang, "You've better chance with her than me."
"What. Now...?"
"I'm serious, Sonic. Blaze thinks me as younger brother that's why he can't see me as her lover. But, whatever I heard about the previous encounters between you two..." Silver slyly smirked, "...I think it's not Espio, it's you who she truly liked."
Seeing the well-known 'naive' hedgehog smirking, Sonic realized that Silver was not that stupid as he seemed to be. So, he counterattacked. "Then tell me Silv, why was she always bothered by me if she liked me?"
Silver saw that coming, so he prompted, "Sorry to offend you, but I think Blaze was pissed by you for the very same reason your previous girlfriends were..."
"...care to explain?" The blue hedgehog started to flare up, but kept straight face anyway.
"As far as I heard, both Sally and Fiona proposed you before you did that. From which, I understand, they were the one who tried to keep the relationship up, not you...which sounds kinda one way relationship. Okay...Fiona maybe betrayed you for Scourge...but pretty sure Sally had a good reason for breaking up with you. As for Amy, she's crazy for you for years just because you rescued her many times and you're a good-looking hedgehog, but surely she'll change her mind once someone lectures her about self-respect."
For some reason, Sonic kept listening with patience, maybe the white hedgehog was provoking him...yet, he was reasoning logically.
"So...what exactly are you suggesting? Blaze thinks that I'm not good in keeping girls happy because of my break-ups?"
"It's sorta like that. You see, girls and everyone else admire you because you're hero of Mobius. But love or relationship is completely different thing, bro. Here your heroism or fighting abilities won't work unless she gets in trouble. A girl has some expectations from her lover. She expects him to make the first move to her. She wants him to treat her special, not like everyone else. Do you understand where I'm getting at?"
The blue hedgehog comprehended his ivory friend's words. Considering his relationship history, Sonic realized that it was mostly his own fault for his break-ups. So, whatever Silver's motive was...his advice would be really helpful for having next girlfriend.
Speaking of new girlfriend...
"I got it now. Thanks for the tip, Silv." He finally let out his usual cool smile by winking. "I guess, I've to work to improve my attitude towards my girl."
"That's the spirit, Sonic!" Silver happily chirped, "I think Blaze will be happier with you rather than with Espio. So, why not planning on how you're gonna get her back to you after we return to Mobius?"
Sonic kept smiling without any answer, only shaking his head as he turned around to leave. "Actually Silver..." He slightly tilted his head back, flashing a wicked smirk now, "I was never serious about Blaze, she was never my type to the begin with...neither were Sally and Fiona." But what left Silver speechless was, "My type of girls don't live at Mobius...they live on this planet where we're at now."
"Are you referring to...Elise?" The white hedgehog managed to assume.
"Well...she was one, but I'm talking about my preference in general." The blue hedgehog replied coolly.
"Are you saying that your preference is..." Silver fearfully said, "...human?!"
"Bingo..."
"This is crazy!" The ivory was shocked, he did not expect this. "I can understand about Elise...but why human girls?!"
"I've been on the Earth for many times, so I've checked out the creatures here. Humans or similar species like Liminals...they not only differ from us by looks, but also by thoughts. Girls here approach their partner in more appealing ways, they're more understanding than the Mobian girls. Not to mention..." Sonic turned his head back so that Silver could not see him licking lips, "...Their body scent and furless naked skin are way more arousing."
Wow...
Silver was awed...this was one of the last things anyone could expect from the number one hedgehog hero of Mobius. But as much as shocked he was, Silver could not deny it. He felt it himself...whenever he was near to Elise. He did not realize it earlier because of situation...until Sonic brought that up. The blue blur noticed his flabbergasted look, before he surprised him even more,
"It's not just me, Silv...Shads is in the same team too. In fact, he showed it pretty clearly...where did his crazy love for Maria go away when she was back as hedgehog? It's the same person with different body, right? But look what happened."
Now it started to make sense to the white hedgehog as well, as he remembered a law from No Zone. Zone hopping or moving into another zone without approval is an obvious crime for both Mobians and Moebians...but everyone is specially forbidden to go to the planet Earth...for a number of reasons. Well...one of the reasons was cleared today.
Sonic left Silver's room when he noticed him to be thoughtful. He did not need to waste more words...he already spilled a big dirty secret by telling about the actual reason for being single. Silver could be trusted to keep secret...but he could not be trusted if any girl caught Sonic's attention. Apart from the misunderstanding at Soleanna, the reason for the hidden rivalry between the blue and the white hedgehogs was Blaze, the cat they both had serious crush on for a while. Well, Blaze was now out of this, because both had lost their feelings for her. But, Sonic and Silver's friendship might have been warmed up again...
...If they had not met Sierra Star.
Sonic bumped against his green evil form when he was out of Silver's room. "What're you doing here, Scourge?"
"Why so grumpy, Blue?" Scourge noticed the sudden annoyance, "I went to use the washer but there I found that potleaf-head's clothes that he wore at the opera show. Is he back?"
"Yeah..." The blue hedgehog replied shortly, not wanting to talk about Silver anymore. But the green hedgehog said, "Looks like I missed something..."
"You missed to see the princess in her sleeping clothes." Sonic sarcastically replied before he left.
"Gosh! That's something big I just missed!" Scourge drooped his ears, pretending to be highly disappointed. When Sonic was out of sight, an unreadable look crossed his muzzle,
"...And here I thought, I was the only enemy among us four hedgies."
Silver did not realize that Sonic was gone. He was in his own thoughts. At first he was disgusted by the idea of mating between an earth humanoid and a furry Mobian...but then he remembered about the previous night...when he was about to kiss someone. And who was that someone? A creature from the Earth with smooth curvy human girl's body...but with small height just like an average Mobian. So undoubtedly...Sierra Star the hog girl would be a very 'luscious' mate for those Mobians who preferred human girls. Silver was thankful that he stopped himself from kissing Sierra...or else, he surely could not have controlled himself from further action. But remembering Sonic's words, he started to acknowledge the feeling of her soft curvaceous body and smooth glowing skin when she hugged him. Her body contained a unique scent which was kinda mixture of a human and wild nature...probably because of her dwelling on a island, or because of her partly being a hedgehog. No matter whatever the reason is...the liminal's body fragrance was much more intense than humans...
"Mhmm...!"
The white hedgehog shuddered to feel a spasm...particularly on his lower body. His golden eyes widened as he looked down to see...his male organ proudly notified itself...obviously from the thoughts about the redhead hog girl from the planet earth. As Silver made his way to the bathroom again, he was rather worried.
How long he and his three fellow hedgehogs would be able to keep their animalistic nature under control? Or...does the hog girl have any idea that her protectors could anytime turn into her predators?
A/N: I guess. you now understand the whole Omega deal. XD. And as you can see, Sonic and Silver have cold war regarding Blaze between themselves despite of being friends.
Sonic and Blaze's previous encounters referred by Silver was from 'Sonic Rush'.
***Seelkadoom the Hedgehog is the main character of the fan game 'Sonic RPG', created from both Sonic and Shadow's DNA by Eggman and thus possesses the power of both Sonic and Shadow combined.
Spoiler: I added the fan-based characters (only hedgehogs) because this story mainly focuses on the hedgehog characters of Sonic. Before the endings, I have plans to add a future chapter like the Archie comic 'Hedgehog Havoc', where all the hedgehogs and similar characters (Sierra, Bliss, Metal Sonic, Metal Sierra) would fight each other being divided into two groups (Sierra/Team Heroes vs Bliss/Team Evil).
