Here you go, another chapter, this one took more time because of the other fic I decided to create, and that one I had in mind longer then Sonic Tamers and Devil Hedgehog. I hope this chapter will be able satisfy your reading desires.
Devil Hedgehog
Twinkle Park
"SONIC!" Tails shouted, glad to see his brother after an entire month. Sonic just turned his head to the side and smirked.
"Yo" he said giving the fox and the rest of the group a two fingered salute.
As he turned around to face everyone, they saw that the red coat wasn't the only thing he was wearing. He was wearing clothes similar to that of Dante, when he had encountered the Nero kid for the first time, with a few small modifications of his own. He was surprisingly wearing black boots, but they were made of the same material his old shoes were, so his feet would not fall off from running at high speeds, it also had that white strap with gold buckles just like his old shoes, his coat was the same as Dante's, with the sleeves rolled up and a small part of the black undershirt showing. Black gloves, fingerless on the pointer and middle fingers with a rectangular hole on the back of the hand, Sonic's claws could be seen front the fingerless part of the glove. How the other two ones didn't rip they didn't know. The pants and the shirts were the same, as well as the belts around his torso. All in all, he looked stylish, after all, his clothes were based off one of the greatest videogame icons of all times. Dante told Sonic to wear this, he didn't knew why since he didn't need clothes, but it looked cool, according to him, the clothes were part of the "heritage", that didn't make any sense, but hey, he wasn't one to complain.
Tails couldn't contain himself and ran toward Sonic's direction, Sonic turned himself to Tails and opened his arms wide as Tails jumped into them, giving the blue Hedgehog an embrace. Sonic gladly returned his brother's affection. Letting go of Tails, Sonic affectionately put his had the fox's head.
"Long time no see, Tails" Sonic said patting his brother's head "I bet I made you worried, didn't I?" Sonic smiled apologetically at Tails.
"I did" Tails frowned "But deep down I knew you would be okay "he smiled brightly "Since you're the best there is" he kept smiling.
"Hahahaha" Sonic laughed heartily "I am, right?" he kept laughing until a punch made its way to his arm "Ouch!" Sonic said holding his left arm.
"Just came back and you're already cracking jokes" an annoyed smirk was etched on Knuckles face while holding his right fist up.
"You want to fight Knucklehead?" Sonic smirked harshly, butting heads with knuckles.
"Come on then you blue idiot" Knuckles talked back, soon they started to push their heads against each other, growling like wild animals.
"Stop that you too" Tails said, trying to make the two friends stop fighting" We just met and you're already fighting" Tails sighed, it's always like this.
"Wait" Knuckles said, suddenly pulling back from his position, making Sonic fall forward into the ground headfirst. Sonic hissed in pain as he got up rubbing the sore spot on the middle of his forehead. Only then he realized he was looking up at Sonic, who in turn was looking down to him with an eyebrow lifted.
"Um, Sonic?" he asked, his face blank as a made the question.
"What is it?" Sonic said in response, confused at Knuckles change of behavior.
"Did you get taller?" He asked, everyone, except for Amy, widened their eyes when they noticed that Knuckles' sudden statement was right, Sonic was taller. Instead of being 1,00 cm like before, he was now about 20 cm taller than Vanilla, who is a good 1,30 cm tall, making him about1,50 cm tall.
"Do you think so?" Sonic asked himself, looking down and turning around to have a better look of himself "I didn't notice" everyone just face faulted.
"How can you not notice that?" Tails asked, now that he noticed, Sonic was so tall that they had to bend they necks upward to look directly into his face, probably the size of a young adult.
"I was too occupied to notice something like that" Sonic shrugged, crossing his arms behind his head.
"But now that I think of it" Knuckles said in a thinking position "It will look kind of awkward for fans to imagine a five feet tall Sonic hanging around with his three feet tall friends" he explained, he noticed the blank looks he was being given "What?" all of them just responded 'no it's nothing'.
"I wouldn't worry about that too much" Sonic said, catching Knuckles, Tails and even Shadow's attention "Were all teenagers, so we're bound to get taller as we get older, it just happened faster with me" Sonic explained, of course not telling the fact that it was his training with Dante and the discovery of his demonic powers that made him taller with sounded logical since Vanilla was an adult and was taller than the rest of his friends.
"That..." Tails started "Actually makes sense" said in shock, ticking off Sonic.
"What do you mean by that?" Sonic made an annoyed face, pulling Tails' cheeks.
"Ow, ow, ow stop that" Tails whined as Sonic stretched his face. Thinking that he had enough torture, Sonic let go of Tails face.
"Well, all of you will get taller at some time" Sonic said as his mouth stretched into a sly smirk "Except for Shadow of course" he said looking as Shadow turned his head to Sonic's direction with a frown forming on his face.
"Explain yourself, as to why I would not grow up like the rest of you?" Shadow asked walking in front of Sonic.
"Not trying to talk you down but…" Sonic shrugged his shoulders, feigning innocence "You're an adult, so I doubt that you will grow up like the rest of us" he crouched down to the same level of Shadow's eyes "But hey" he said, putting a hand on Shadow's head and patting it, making the black hedgehog even more pissed to the point where he was growling "You can still be the group's shrimp" Sonic smirked as he felt the collar of his trench coat being pulled down by Shadow.
"How dare you call me a shrimp" Shadow growled, holding Sonic's collar so they were face to face.
"You didn't like being the faker, so now you're the shrimp" he smirked "Right shrimp?" Tails and Knuckles were doing their best not to laugh at the situation, it's not every day that you can see someone make a fool out of Shadow.
In an act of rage, Shadow sent his fist forward with incredible speeds toward Sonic's face with the goal of making it crave within itself, but what happened next surprised both Shadow and Sonic's friends. Sonic had easily stopped Shadow's fist from reaching his face so fast that no one had saw, and the fact that Shadow was struggling to push his fist forward and Sonic just had a casual smirk, not having trouble in holding the attack, which made them wonder what Sonic had being doing during the last month to become so strong. They also had noticed the weapons he was holding with himself, a huge silver sword and a pair of black and white pistols, the catch is, Sonic absolutely hate guns.
"Are you finished?" Sonic smirked, still holding Shadow's fist within his own hand. With a huff, Shadow forcefully pulled his hand from Sonic's grip and walked away, in the direction of his squad, pissed with the fact that Sonic had apparently outclassed him.
"Sonic" Tails said, catching Sonic's attention "I think we have to talk" he said motioning his head to the weapons and guns on Sonic's back "And it better be in private" Tails said seriously.
"Alright" Sonic nodded, his face also getting a serious tone "Then let's talk on my place" he said.
Soon the main trio started to make their way to Sonic's apartment, they took the rooftops so the civilians wouldn't swarm them with questions about Sonic's disappearance and why he has a new look. On their way to the Sonic's apartment, they had the feeling that they were forgetting something important behind. Well, Tails and Knuckles did.
XXXXXXX
13° Avenue, Residential Area
The trio landed on the middle of the street where on one side you could see Bull's Eye bar and right across it was the strip club, Love Planet. It was nearing night already as the fight on the park took some hours before Sonic appeared to kill those demons.
"Hi there handsome" a voice called from behind, they turned back to see a beautiful and voluptuous human female on a red dress walking in their direction. Tails had immediately hid himself behind Sonic, using his trench coat to maintain himself hidden. As you can conclude, she was one of the women that worked on the Love Planet.
"Last time I remember" she said, bending down a little bit to look at Sonic in the eyes, purposively showing her cleavage "You were not this big" she said, lifting an eyebrow.
"Well as you can see, some kind of growth spurt happened to me, so I'm bigger in many ways now" he said, silently asking Knuckles to put his hand on Tails ears as the conversation might get too hot for his innocent ears.
"I can see you have grown a lot, not that you needed to" she said seductively, her hand was slowly reaching for Sonic's pants, until his hands stopped her.
"Sorry, not that I wouldn't mind this kind of treatment" he smirked at her, he was lying right now, he didn't want to end up in a hotel room with a hooker "But there's a kid around here and I don't want to traumatize him for the rest of his life" he explained, the woman got a disappointed look on her eyes "Sorry" this time he was being honest.
"Oh, okay then" she muttered. The trio started to make their way back to Sonic's apartment, when he was grabbed from behind and squeezed by two slender arms.
"Hey, cut that out" Sonic said, annoyed by the sudden action.
"I can't hold myself, you and your friends are so cute" she said while Sonic tried to break from her grip, for some reason women seems to have a sudden burst of strength when it come to something they want to hold.
She finally let go of him and walked away, back to Love Planet. After that little misadventure the trio once again resumed their way to the blue hero's house. It looked the same as before, a rundown apartment where its insides looked better than the outside.

Sonic's place
"Alright" Sonic started, sitting on the sofa while his friends took other places to sit, Tails at the desk and Knuckles over the pool table, Sonic had leaned rebellion on the wall behind his desk "What do you guys want to know?" he asked.
"Sonic" Tails started "We want to know why were you missing for one month?" he asked "And why are you carrying weapons with you, you yourself told us you didn't like them" he asked again, worried if something was happening to his older brother.
"Yeah" Knuckles said "You disappeared right after being dismissed from the hospital, just to appear one month later, taller, carrying weapons and wearing clothes" Knuckles stated "Why are you wearing clothes, we don't need them" Knuckles said.
"It's kind of difficult to explain Tails" Sonic said, ignoring Knuckles' words "After I was dismissed from the hospital, I started having some kind of sensation on the back of my head. At first I ignored them since it did not hurt, but after a while, I noticed that whenever direction I was turned at, the feeling would always be fixed in one direction, if the feeling was pointed to the door and I turned sideways the feeling would be on the side of my head, if I was turned with my back to the door, the feeling would be on the back of my head" he said.
"So you probably thought that something was trying to guide you" Tails concluded.
"Exactly" Sonic nodded "This feeling was trying to guide me to some place, some place important. Not coping with the feeling at all, I decided to go to where it was trying to guide, it led to a forest very far away from Station Square..."

Sonic's place, one hour later
"…And then I went to Twinkle park after I heard the sirens screaming through the streets with Shadow on the lead of a bunch of G.U.N. units. Something serious would have to be going on if Shadow was taking an entire squad of G.U.N. soldiers with him. When I got there I saw you guys being and that girl being surrounded by these demons and went for the rescue" he finished.
Tails and Knuckles mouths were agape when Sonic told them his story, he told them how he met an ancient devil hunter's spirit named Dante, and how he discovered his newfound origin as a Half-Devil/Hedgehog, which would explain the insane stuff Sonic does that not even Shadow would try to think of doing, like trying to outrun a black hole, the only reason Sonic was sucked was because the black hole's pull was stronger that earth's gravity. He also told them how the sword he was carrying choose him to be its next wielder when it was awaked by Mundus appearance.
"This is kind of hard to believe" Knuckles said, still shocked by Sonic's story.
"No it isn't" Sonic said simply "We've faced stuff much weirder than me having demonic heritage, which I still find it too convenient" he said, crossing his arms.
"And to consider that Dante guy managed to make Sonic use guns" Tails muttered "Either he was very convincing, or he had a motive to make you use them" Tails concluded.
"Well he was very convincing I might say, but what really happened is that he made me realize that guns aren't evil as I thought they were" Sonic said, seeing the confusion on his friends faces he continued "Back then, I always thought that guns were evil and were only used to hurt innocents, but he made me realize that what makes the weapon dangerous is not the gun itself but the wielder. A gun was made for self defense, and only those with malicious intent will use them to hurt others. But I, I can use them for good, I can use them to protect the innocents that are oppressed by these demons" Sonic explained, standing up and walking to Tails and giving him a sincere smile "And to make sure that those who are close to me are okay" He said, patting Tails head, just like an older brother would do.
Everyone on the apartment smiled warmly at Sonic's words, it's not every day that Sonic let out such heartwarming words. Sonic is always showing confidence and bravery even when worried about his friends. He does that because if the enemy detects any weakness on Sonic, they go for that weakness, and that weakness is his friend's safety, especially Tails'.
"I think we had enough of this melodramatic talking" Sonic said, going to his TV and turning it on "How about a good old MvC2 to loosen up a bit" He smirked, holding up the Dreamcast controller.
"Heh" Knuckles smirked, immediately taking off his gloves to hold the controller better "You better be prepared, cause I won't hold back" he boasted, Knuckles hands were just like Sonic' and the rest of his friends, five fingers whose claws could be seen.
"I may have been out for a month, but that didn't make me less competent on the game" Sonic said, placing the disc on the console and turning it on.
The next two hours were spent playing Marvel vs Capcom 2. The game did its job wonderfully, it completely washed away all the melodramatic mood that was hanging inside Sonic's house by . By the time the two guests had to go, the score was tied with each one having won five matches. Knuckles wanted a rematch so he could stay on top, but Tails dragged him out of Sonic's place.
*Sigh* Sonic sighed "It's no fun to play video-game by myself" he said, getting up from his couch and walking to his TV, turning it off along with the console, he didn't even bother to take off the disc.
Sonic decided to make something to eat, it has been so time since he didn't eat real food, he had no idea of how he survived almost a month and a half without food, he could go a week without it, but a month is too much. He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge's freezer, seeing what he was looking for on the end of the freezer. A pack of frozen hotdogs.
He picked the package from the freezer and put it on the sink to let it unfreeze. He knew it would take long for it to happen, but he had nothing to do so he waited. After almost half an hour, the hotdogs were unfrozen and ready to cook. After another round of waiting for the food to be ready, the food was ready. He turned off the fire and turned around to look for the...
"Aw, damn it" Sonic face palmed "I forgot to buy bread" he said. Sonic put the lid back on top of the pot and walked back to his house's living room, grabbing his wallet and the coat he had placed on the hat stand that he didn't knew he had until a week earlier. He opened his front door and zipped to the closest bakery, in five minutes he was back with ten hotdog breads.
Since it was a little cold, Sonic didn't took off his coat this time. Walking back into the kitchen, Sonic made ten hotdogs, if he had some sauce he could make them chilidogs, but the original is also pretty good, and he was hungry, so he didn't think about it too much.
He put all the hotdogs on a plate, and walked back to his living room, putting them on his desk. His desk was placed on the back of the room, but was turned to the double door. He sat on the chair and placed his feet on the desk, careful not to step on his meal or his notebook.
And then... he started eating them. He picked one and ate it at a slow pace in order to enjoy it, when he finished the first, he went for another one, and then another one. When there were only two left, Sonic was about to pick another when, when finally, something happened.
*CRASH*
His front doubled doors were blown off its hinges and sent into Sonic's direction, he just stood there with his feet on the table and the same uninterested face he had when his friends got back to their houses as the doors flew past him and were lodged on the wall behind him. Sonic looked at the empty doorway as a black silhouette appeared on the smoke caused by the burst.
When the smoke cleared, Sonic could see the one who had broken his double doors. A human, a beautiful adult human female. She had long straight blond hair and only wore leather. Black leather vest that didn't have the upper part, showing a good amount of cleavage, skin tight leather pants, high heeled leather boots and a gun holster on her hip, where two pistols that looked just like his were holstered. She also had a pair of black sunglasses, which made Sonic wonder why would she be using them, it's night, how can you see at night while wearing sunglasses.
"So, you're the famou..."
"You broke my front doors" Sonic interrupted the woman, a deadpanned look on his face as he took a bite of his hotdog.
"W.. what?" she said, blinking in surprise.
"You..." Sonic gulped down the hotdog, pointing at her with his free hand "Broke my front doors" he repeated, this time pointing his thumb at the doors lodged on the wall "If you needed a bathroom that quickly, you could've just knocked" he stated, taking another bite of his hotdog.
Behind her sunglasses the woman's eyes were blank, a feeling of déjà vu creeping on her spine, and she knew why, Dante had almost the same reaction when she had first appeared, only Dante was being sarcastic at the time, Sonic sounded like he actually meant what he said.
"But you don't look like you need the bathroom" Sonic said, finishing the hotdog he had in hand "So you must be here for another reason" he realized, picking the last hotdog and spinning it using his fingers.
"I'm here on personal business" she said, making Sonic lift an eyebrow "You have something that I want" the woman said, walking around Sonic's house, completely forgetting that this was a house and not an office, Sonic just watched her as he ate his hotdog.
"Something that belongs to a friend of mine" she said, looking curiously at two tailed fox doll sitting on the stand, it's black and white eyes looked like they could suck someone's soul and torment it for all eternity, funny how it looked like a kid's doll with such intense aura.
"Humm" Sonic responded, he saw her trying to pick up the doll "Be careful" he said, getting the blonde's attention "It likes to attack people" Sonic said, she didn't know what he was talking about until the doll turned his head up to see her face.
"I'm going to eat your soul" it said with a surprisingly heavy voice. His eyes and the crystal antenna on his head glowed red causing the blonde to look at him with an eyebrow lifted.
"Shh" Sonic shushed the doll "Sit down" he ordered it, and it obeyed just like a dog "Sorry about that" Sonic apologized "I'm still training him" he said.
Sonic remembers the day where he got the doll, it was back when he was still small and chubby. Eggman apparently had planned a racing tournament and the winner would have all the Chaos Emeralds. A lot of weirdos entered the tournament, but the one who took the cake was Tails doll, he was the slowest of them all, and when he lost he said he was going to kill everyone on the race, devour their souls and torment them for all eternity.
Too bad he was made of the same material plushes are made, his strength was just enough to hold a plastic knife. After the doll's humiliating beat down, Sonic decided to keep the doll as a pet, he succeeded at most, the doll would listen to him and only him, any stranger on the house it would try to attack until Sonic orders it not to. Also for some reason, people seemed to almost faint in fright at seeing the doll, he didn't knew why, it wasn't scary at all.
"Interesting pet you have there" the blonde complimented.
"Thanks" Sonic said, finishing his last hot dog "He's one of a kind" he said, closing his eyes with his arms crossed in front of him.
"I can see that" the woman said, pulling out one of the guns and aiming at Sonic's head "Now" she said slowly "I want the weapons back" she said, pulling the trigger.
Sonic just leaned his head to the side, letting the bullet hit the wall behind him. Sonic's uninterested expression became annoyed as he opened his eyes. He saw her aiming her dual pistols at him, when she fired them, Sonic kicked up his desk and jumped up at the same time, not only dodging the bullets, but also saving his desk and notebook in the process.
When she started to shoot up at Sonic's direction he pulled out his guns and started shooting at every bullet she sent at him. She was better than him with her guns, if it wasn't for his speed, he would not be able to shoot the bullet closing to him. He kept shooting as he fell feet first on the floor and dashed at her direction, catching her off guard and sweep kicking her.
When her back slammed against the wooden floor, Sonic closed at her and aimed his guns at her head, but she also had her guns aimed at his head. So now they were at a stalemate, Sonic had a smirk on his face all the time, while the woman had a frown on her face. Suddenly, Sonic's smirk turned into a smile as he holstered his guns, confusing the woman. He extended his arm to help her, but declined his help by getting up on her own.
"So" Sonic started "Any reason to start shooting me?" he asked, all he got was the pistol's barrel touching his forehead.
"I want to know where and how you got Rebellion and the pistols?" she asked him, he face showed she wouldn't take a no for an answer
"You're the one who hid the weapons " Sonic said, his response surprising the woman "As for how I go them" he said, using his right hand to push the pistol off his face "As surprising as it sounds, the sword choose me to wield it" he explained.
"And you want me to believe that?" she asked, putting the gun once again on Sonic's face, annoying him a little.
"Well, Trish" Sonic said, once again surprising the woman "You're a demon, I'm a hedgehog, and Mundus is the demon king who wants to kill every human to make this place as his new empire" he exclaimed, this time using his speed to snatch the two guns that Trish had with her "I think it's pretty believable for a sword to call for someone their heads" he said.
Now Trish looked confused, was he telling the truth, he knew her name and what she was, he even told her what he was and about Mundus being the demon king, meaning he knew what he was saying. Seeing her confusion, Sonic sighed, giving her the guns back.
"Do you want me explain it in full detail?" he asked.
"Yes please" Trish answered sitting at his sofa.
"Alright, make sure you're comfortable because this is not your average 'what really happened' kind of story" he said, Trish just rolled her eyes and motioned him to start telling.
XXXXXXX
Sonic's place, one hour later
"Okay" Trish started "Let me get this straight" she said looking at Sonic's eyes "You fought Mundus" Sonic nodded "And lost" he nodded again, annoyed by her bluntness "And because of him coming to this realm, the Rebellion somewhat awakened and started looking for its next wielder" Sonic nodded in agreement again "Which is you" she took a sip from her soda.
"Pretty much yeah" Sonic answered, opening a can of soda that he had picked up for them from the kitchen while explaining his story.
"And when you got to the place where I hid the sword, you met Dante" Trish said, her voice getting lower. She seemed sad, which was understandable, being a full demon, unless someone kills Trish, she will live forever with the pain of losing her friends.
"Hey" Sonic said slowly "Are you okay?" he asked her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm okay" she said, taking his hand off her shoulder "It's just that seeing you with my friend's belongings makes me remember of him, and your personality doesn't help either" she stared at him.
"Well, sorry" he said "That's just how things go" he told her "I didn't ask for this" he said as Trish looked at him "But I agreed because I needed to be strong for my friends" Sonic told her.
"Still" Trish stood up, walking in front of the sitting Sonic "I want those back" she grabbed the collar of his coat and threw him through the doorway. Sonic was so caught off guard by the action, that he didn't have time to right himself in the air and rolled on the streets.
As he rolled, Sonic used his arms to send him up, back flipping into a fighting position, with the guns on his hands. He looked at the doorway was and saw Trish with Rebellion on her hand coming out to face him, she probably wanted the pistols too.
Trish then charged at Sonic with impressing speed and tried to slash him, but Sonic dodged. He tried to kick her, but Trish used the side of the blade to block the move. She placed the sword on her back and pulled out her guns, trying to shoot him. Sonic moved between the shots and closed on her, scoring a hit by kicking her on the chin, sending the demon woman upward.
He jumped after Trish and tried to hit her in the air with multiple fast kicks, but she maneuvered just in time to defend herself, gripping Sonic's coat tails and launching him into the concrete floor. Still in the air, Trish pulled Rebellion from her back and dived sword first at Sonic, with the intent of piercing his head.
Sonic's back collided harshly with the floor, little fissures being formed by the impact. None of them noticed the crow forming on the streets, just watching their hero fighting the hot blond woman in confusion.
Sonic opened his eyes and saw Trish diving at him. Thinking fast, Sonic performed a handstand and kicked the sword away from Trish's hand, he spun once again to kick Trish away from him, but she was fast enough to grab Sonic's foot. Landing feet first, she spun around, gripping Sonic's foot with her hands, and threw him into the light post direction.
As Sonic's body approached the post, he stuck his hands out and grabbed it, spinning around it and launching himself at her direction, ramming Trish with a Spindash and sending her backward against the wall of an abandoned building. The wall gave away immediately after she was slammed against the wall. Sonic heard a crowd cheering and turned his head toward the sound to find a bunch of people crowded around the two, watching the whole fight.
"Don't you guys have anything better to do?" he asked the crowd, which just shrugged at his question "This fight might get dangerous, so shsh" he said, dong a shooing motion with his hands. The bystanders weren't happy, but they obliged none the less.
Sonic walked up to Rebellion, which was stuck on the floor and pulled it off, placing it on his back. Looking at the place where Trish was, Sonic entered the building through the wall's new hole, searching for the demon woman. The building's insides were dark, there were no lighting at all and Trish was nowhere to be seen. Sonic's grip on his guns tightened,
He heard something behind him and turned around, aiming his guns at the sound. But there was nothing there, just a can that fell from the beat up wooden shelf. Sonic slowly made his way deeper into the building, staying sharp for any kind of attack. He knew who Trish was, and he knew how strong she was, it would be a grave mistake to underestimate her.
Sonic had already made his way to the first floor, the wooden floor creaking under his weight. A sudden cracking sound came to his ears and he immediately responded by jumping to the side, just in time to evade the explosion that came from the floor. It was Trish, she had tried to give him an uppercut.
"Did she learn that with Knuckles?" He asked to himself.
Trish, landed on the wooden floor and charged at Sonic, trying to punch him, but he caught her hand with his and turned around, flipping her over his shoulder and slamming her onto the floor, breaking it under the impact's weight, sending both back to the ground floor. When the smoke cleared, you could see Trish sitting on Sonic's stomach, trying to sink Sonic's head deeper into the floor with her fists, so far it was useless as Sonic had both of her fist securely held with his hands.
Sonic quickly placed his feet on her stomach kicked her off him, sending her off into the hole they made and back into the first floor. Sonic flipped himself up and jumped after her, when he reached the first floor, a blinding blue light engulfed his vision. After that he was blasted off the building by a blue lightening strike, courtesy of Trish herself.
The first floor window broke into a hundred pieces as Sonic was sent flying to the streets once again, this time he had time to flip himself in the air and land feet first, sliding to a stop. Trish came shortly after from the same window, shooting her guns with the speed of an assault rifle. Sonic started shooting back, his bullets going right past hers, as both were pelted with hundreds of bullets. The scene could've been a lot gorier if they didn't have a fast healing ability, their bullet wounds and even their clothes regenerated after a few seconds.
When Trish's feet touched the floor, Sonic holstered his guns and charged at her, not giving her enough time to react, Sonic punched her in the gut, making Trish double over, in the direction of a spinning kick. The kick hit its mark and sent her rolling back on the street's floor.
Trish was about to get up when she felt the cold metal that made the blade in Sonic's had so sharp. He tried to stare past her sunglasses with a somewhat angry look, probably pissed that he had partially destroyed his house. Trish sighed in defeat, but smirked right after.
"Well" she started, causing Sonic to lift an eyebrow "It looks like you passed" she finished.
"I... what?" Sonic blinked. He was so confused that Trish just pushed the sword away from her neck and stood up.
"I said that you passed" she said, taking of her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
"Passed what?" he asked, scratching the back of his head.
"The test" she smirked.
"What test?" he asked, getting a little annoyed at her short answers.
"The one you just passed" she replied with smirk. Sonic's response was an annoyed frown "Alright, alright" Trish said "But let's talk inside, I don't want people overhearing" she said, walking to his house's direction.
"But... *sigh*" Sonic sighed and followed her to his place. 'Woman' he fought.
XXXXXXX
Back at Sonic's place
"Now that we're comfortable in here and not in the middle of the street" Trish said, sitting on Sonic's sofa and laying down, with her arms behind her head "We can talk" she said.
"Well" Sonic said, sitting behind his desk with his feet up on the desk once more "First I want you to fix my doors and my walls" he told her. The doll had floated at Sonic's direction, sitting on his owner's shoulders "And I don't want cheap stuff, these were old but were of valuable material" he said, petting the doll on the head. Funny how the doll liked to be petted on the head.
"Details, details" Trish said, with an annoyed voice "I will fix it when I can" she finished.
"You don't have the money right?" Sonic asked, only to receive silence as an answer. "If you don't have it, I won't force you" he sighed.
"Do you want to know about the test or not?" she asked harshly, trying to change the subject.
"Of course I do" Sonic said.
"Alright then" Trish started "Roughly some thousand of years ago, before Dante sacrificed himself for humanity to seal all demon for good, he knew someone would try to bring them back again. Humans may have the heart that demons don't, but they have desires and greed that surpasses that of a demon, they're always wanting more and more" she explained.
"Yeah" Sonic said, still petting the Tails Doll "I deal with one like this all the time" he said.
"So, before dying, Dante told me that once that happened, the sword would choose its next wielder. I was told to protect it until the 'chosen one' came" she said doing quote signs "And fight him or her to see if it was worthy of wielding Rebellion. And if worthy, aid it on the battle against the demons. But because it was such a boring job I just put it into the biggest hole I could find until the special someone got it" she finished.
"I'd probably do the same thing, no one would like to stay put for that long" he said, standing up and walking to his shelf, placing the living doll back on its place "So, that means were partners" he walked to Trish and held out his hand.
"I think we are" she said taking his hands and standing up, she was about 10 cm taller than him.
They shook hands and traded smirks, sealing their new partnership.
Well, there it is, I hope you guys liked it.
I finally introduce another main character, Trish, since she's a demon, she can live forever and also doesn't age, which is why she's still young and alive. I don't know if I stayed on character or out of character with her, but I guess I did a god job. The fact that Dante knew that demons would come back is because according to murphy's law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. He predicted that shit would ahppen because shit always happen no matter what you do.
