King of Hearts

Chapter 11 – Wake up Sunshine.

Don Pitch Robotnik's POV, Robotnik compound, New York.

My whole body was a stone. It didn't want to move, but as the door to my room opened I managed to force myself the other way from my visitor.

"Really?" I heard a voice say from the door as I asked.

"Can you leave me alone? I just wana sleep another hour."

As everything went silent and I was bound for my dreams once more, I widened my eyes to feel someone grab my mattress by the side. Immediately I began to panic as I was sent over the side of my bed and onto the hardwood floor below.

As I now held my eyes shut in the early feeling of pain, I heard from above me.

"Sorry sunshine, but for the next hour me and you are going to get acquainted."

The voice held a strong feminine tone to it as I looked up to see this gorgeous goddess standing before me with a bright white smile.

Our eyes locked as my dad soon came into view.

"Pitch this is your new instructor." He stated as I looked back to the beautiful and well built hedgehog.

Her quills were the darkest green I've ever came to witness and her eyes held the most targeted shade of dark brown I've ever had the honor of greeting with. She wore a tight pair of combat cargo pants and above her she held on a tight black tank top that just curved her body perfectly. I would drool if she didn't already intimidate me by throwing me out of my own bed.

"That's right kid, I will be teaching you from here on the art of self defense. Now get your ass up before I drag you down the hall in front of your men." She ordered with inner pride as looked to my dad.

"She will son. Now if you know what's best you'll get up and get dressed." He stated as I slowly got to my feet before them.

She was just my height.

"You have two minutes. When your done find me outside." She ordered with force as she gave me a small smile and made her way out.

I couldn't help but stare at her butt as my dad took notice and came in to slap me gently in the face to get my attention away from her and towards him.

"Take this seriously. She is here to guide you, that's it."

"What's her name?" I begged of him as he shook his head to reply.

"I'm not allowed to tell. She will introduce herself properly I'm sure when you get out there. Now get dressed and go find her. Your mother and I will be out today doing some final trip preparations, so I expect you will listen to her and do what she tells you."

Nodding I replied.

"Yeah, no problem."

Smiling my dad whispered.

"Good luck. You'll need it."

I saw the truth in his red crimson eyes as he patted my shoulder and then made his way out of my room leaving me to change.

Five minutes later.

"Your late!" She stated as I found her by the garden with Rover; who made his way to the sidelines to watch as I got before her.

In force she dropped under my arm and I panicked as her leg kicked out my knees from behind sending me to the grass below her.

My face hit the ground first as she got comfortable where I use to be standing.

"What was that for!?" I asked in anger as she calmly replied.

"You were late. First rule when training with me is you never show up late. Next time I'll knock you out cold. Now get the fuck up and listen!" She ordered as I looked to Rover who looked on to me with a face that said I should listen to her orders.

As I slowly got back to my feet and turned to face her, I widened my eyes as her fist came in just as fast as her looks.

"Bash!"

My head tilted back as Rover shut his eyes to the sound of my jaw nearly breaking on impact.

In pain I grabbed my lip and shouted.

"What the fuck!?"

The woman laughed it up as I asked with blood dripping down my chin.

"What was that for!?"

Giving me a smile the girl replied.

"Testing your reflexes. You failed kid. Which means we got a lot of work to do. Now stop acting like a pussy and look straight into my eyes."

Letting my lip go, I locked eyes with her as she then ordered.

"Hit me."

In confusion I replied.

"What?"

Giving me a roll of her eyes she replied.

"I said hit me. Don't worry about hurting me, with the way you move you won't be able to touch me."

My anger began to boil as she made her jokes, and in rage I sent a jab towards her face.

My eyes immediately went cold as she stopped my arm flat and roughly propelled herself forward and into my chest causing me to fall back into the ground.

She was stronger then she looks. I think she almost dislocated my arm.

As I struggled to get up she chuckled and said.

"You see? I told you not to worry your little head about it kid. It'll take a lot more then that for you to lay even a finger on me."

As I got back to my feet, I asked.

"Then what is this all about? Are you just here to beat me up? Or are you actually going to teach me something?"

With a smile she replied.

"A little of both."

I went silent as she looked back to Rover who watched in a peaceful state.

"You teach him anything Rover? Or did you just go over how to use firearms?"

"Just firearms so far." Replied Rover as she nodded and looked back to me.

"That's all and well kid, but firearms won't always be there for you when you need them most." She stated as I watched her approach me.

Getting in my face she said.

"When the enemy is this close it's ether you or him. And when that little gun of yours runs dry what are you going to do then?"

"Fight." I stated as she nodded.

"Not like that you aren't. Let me show you something. Give me your hand." She urged as I raised up my right palm for her to take.

"When you get this close to a guy who wants you dead you have two options. The first is a straight up assault where ether of you can win. Or you can try and take the advantage in the few seconds you have him off guard."

"How?" I wondered as she looked into my eyes.

"You take an arm like this."

This time she went slow and turned her body into mine.

Her butt pinned into my crotch as she brought my arm over her shoulder.

Gently she looked back into my red face to smile and say.

"Then you bend over and pull!"

In speed my whole body went over hers and I was sent under her, back first into the grass.

My spine cracked as she chuckled over me.

"Yeah, I think we need to work on the basics first."

In pain I replied.

"Please."

With a smile she offered me her hand.

Shadow's POV.

I watched from the window with Zarra as Pitch was already getting beaten into the ground.

"Are you sure she can teach him? She seems to be hurting him more then helping." Stated Zarra as I nodded and replied.

"She'll get into his head first. Once he understands he can't even remotely fight he'll get determined. From then she'll work on getting him up to par, then maybe if he's lucky she'll let him try again."

Zarra nodded as Pitch got back on his feet.

"How old is she?" Wondered Zarra as I calmly watched and replied.

"Twenty two."

Zarra looked to me as I added.

"She's more experienced then you would believe. Trust me, he'll be fine. She won't kill him."

Zarra remained silent as we continued to watch.

Don Pitch Robotnik's POV.

We got a few feet apart as she looked to my arms.

"Work out at all kid?"

Lowering my eyes I replied.

"Not much."

Nodding she replied.

"I can tell. But I can see all your power is in your upper body. You need to harnesses that before trying to send a punch at someone."

Getting close, she took my arms and set them up as if I was about to punch her.

"Show me a jab."

Moving her palms in position to take the hit, I sent one into her right hand.

She nodded as I sent another with the left.

Quickly forcing my arms aside she stated.

"Your using your arms more then your body. You need to use the power in your chest rather then the power in your arms if you want to hurt someone."

"How do I do that?" I asked in confusion as she lifted my arms back up to reply.

"When you go to jab, send the side of your chest that your using to punch forward with it. Give it a try. Make sure when you jab to combine the chest with the speed needed to catch an attacker off guard. Can't be slow in a fist fight kid."

"It's Pitch." I stated in an annoyed tone as she shook her head.

"Your my bitch for now until I say otherwise, so shut up with the name and respond to whatever I decide to call you, got it?" She asked in force as I refused to agree by not responding at all to her question.

The girl went still and immediately sent her knee to my stomach.

"Bash!"

My whole body went forward as she then took the back of my quills and sent her foot to the back of my legs.

I fell to my knees as she lifted my head up to her face.

"Do you understand!?" She asked in anger as I refused to respond to her once more.

In force she sent her right hand down into my face.

"Bash!"

The force she possessed sent me on my back flat as I felt stars dazing above me like a cartoon.

As I attempted to get back my sense of awareness, I felt her take hold of my shirt and power me forward into another fist she had already spun up to hit me.

"Bash!"

My head boggled as she asked once more.

"Do you fucking understand!?"

In speed, I nodded.

She didn't seem to agree, and in force she nailed me in the stomach with her knee again.

"I wana hear you say it!" She stated as I felt blood dripping from off my bottom lip.

She held me close and waited as I gulped down the warm blood that had made a home within my throat.

After a few dazed seconds, I replied.

"I understand."

I felt her grip lighten as I was dropped to my hands and knees before her.

I coughed up some blood as Rover urged.

"Go easy on the kid. He's just confused on where he stands in the world right now with all this."

I looked up to she her begin to laugh.

I wanted to clock her, but in reality I knew she would beat me into the ground if I tried right now.

As she continued to laugh, she suddenly pointed to me to reply to Rover.

"He's a fucking Don! Kid or no kid he needs to grow the fuck up and learn where the world stands around him! Not the other way around!"

My head bumped in anger as she went on.

"He's fucking pathetic! Son of the great Shadow Robotnik and he doesn't even begin to compare to him in one little bit!"

With a smile on her face she looked back into my eyes.

"Your a bitch kid! A fucking nobody! Your acting like this is a god damn game and you treat me like I'm some light weight slut your going to bang in the next hour! Maybe if you stopped looking at my ass and tits you would see a punch or two coming at your stupid ass! Grow the fuck up!" She ordered me as I growled in rage from her comments.

"Your dad told me about your real father! Black Rose wasn't it!?" She asked me as I continued to growl at her.

People began to gather as she went on.

"The best the Marxist family had to offer back then when they were the best in the business! He was the toughest son of a bitch alive back then, and everyone feared him! He could kill a family with his eyes closed and yet he decides to leave it all for the queen of the bees! Don Zarra Yin! Your mother! She has more balls then you, she went behind everyone's backs to see your father and he payed for it with his life in the end! He didn't even know she was pregnant with you and I'm happy he didn't! Your a disgrace to him! You may look like him, but your no where near what he was, and even if your tried you would never be able to make him happy! Your dead to him!"

Every fiber in my body I swear turned black as I charged at her from the ground up.

In speed she stopped me with both her hands by grabbing onto my wrists and as only rage fueled me to kill her, I stared into her eyes as she asked.

"Did I piss you off?"

I pushed for her, and in reaction she shifted aside and let her leg cross me up until I fell back on my face.

As the grass hit my face and everything begin to shake, I turned to find her standing their with her arms lowered and a smile clean across her face.

Immediately I ran back at her to find her palm slam right into my face.

She gripped onto my skull as I sent my fist at her stomach.

I panicked as she pushed my arm aside with her free hand and in force she pushed me back on my ass.

I began to feel a bitter sadness kick in as I landed, and in the same cocky attitude she said to me.

"You can't touch me kid. You need to realize that."

In what anger I had left, I charged again to get sent right back down as she simply this time sidestepped to the left of my oncoming charge.

This time as I landed I began to cry.

Rover's POV.

"That's enough!" I shouted towards Lace as she remained next to the now broken Pitch who cried in the grass with the lack of energy to boot.

Lace moved aside as I came in to get down next to him.

Gently I took his back and slowly began to lift him up into my arms.

"Let's go Pitch. That's enough for today." I said to his lowered ears as he gripped onto my back.

As I got him up on his feet, Lace looked to me with a smile to nod.

I knew what she was doing and it worked but she took it too far this time.

She watched calmly as I took Pitch away and towards the compound.

Lace's POV.

The kid made his way back inside with Rover as I stood there in silence.

As I felt eyes watching me from afar, I turned towards the compound to see Shadow Robotnik looking at me through his bedroom window with Mrs. Zarra who looked at me like I was a complete bitch.

Shadow nodded gently, and as I looked to Zarra I nodded back in approval.

Slowly he left the window with Zarra and as I remained in the yard with no other thing to contemplate, I said to myself.

"I am a bitch."

Quickly I made my way for the compound.
