Sonic Adventure Lyrical Step
Chapter 3
Did we just Unison! A New Form for Sonic arises in a One on One match

- TSAB Headquarters, Noon-

*"Welcome to Station Square" Sonic Adventure*

After acing the first combat test given to him by Nanoha and Vita, Sonic felt that his workout deserved a well-cooked lunch. So Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Vita and Rein led him to the Food Court in the main branch, where they all decided they should have a lunch break.

Sonic looked at a nearby lunch menu and looked disappointed "Dang. No Chili-Dogs."

Fate asks "What's a Chili-Dog?"

Sonic cuts in "Only my most favorite of all great foods. Grab a hot dog, pour some chili on it, grab some cheese and some jalapenos, it's truly a blessing among the world I live in." Stars are practically in the Hedgehog's eyes as he talks.

Nanoha realized something "I think I know what he's talking about, Hot Dogs could be sold at Ball games in America back on the world Hayate and I are from."

Hayate reassures Sonic "Well I'm sure that we could make his favorite food if we knew how."

Shahra merely floated next to Sonic, and sighed; she did take notice of some stares pointed in her direction and felt oddly out of place and asks "Why are we being stared at?"

Vita explained bluntly "Probably because you're attire is odd for this time."

Sonic remarked after grabbing some lunch "Shahra, this isn't the Arabian Nights anymore. In this timeline, outfits like yours are not going to fit in."

Vita turned her attention to Sonic as well "You too Hedgehog, if you're going to be living here you might as well get a better wardrobe. Shoes and gloves may work where you're from, but not here."

Sonic remarked with "Kid, I'm a Hedgehog, clothes don't work for me."

Vita glared at Sonic at that point "Stop calling me kid! I'm older than everyone here!"

Sonic smirked "Could've fooled me."

Vita then stopped arguing then turned to finish her lunch without another word

Nanoha spoke up then "Sonic-kun, she has a point, you will need at least something formal to wear, some casual clothes can't hurt can it?"

Sonic finally gave up "Fine, I'll go."

Nanoha, Fate and Hayate looked at each other and giggled, then turned back to the Hedgehog and genie combo, Hayate spoke up "Well lets go shopping then."

The girls took the grumpy hedgehog to a clothes shop to get Shahra new clothing. One of their first stops, to the Hedgehog's even more grumpiness, just so happened to be the lingerie department, to get underwear for the young genie. After some accurate guesses, Shahra took some into a fitting room to try on, while Sonic steered clear from and hanged around with Vita. All of a sudden Shahra let out a surprised "Eep!" which got Sonic's attention, and ran full speed to check what was going on. He was greeted by the sight of Hayate fondling the genie's breasts, whose blushed face grew even darker when she saw Sonic. This was quickly stopped when Nanoha and Fate extracted Hayate from her.

While the girls were lecturing Hayate for groping random strangers Sonic asked Vita "Does she always do that?"

Vita could only nod "Unfortunately, yes, she always had an enjoyment for it. Ask Signum about it."

Sonic looked confused "Who?"

As if speaking of the devil, approaching the 2 was an older woman with long light purplish hair tied in a ponytail and dark blue eyes. Said woman sighed "She did it again, didn't she?" after catching sight of Fate and Nanoha speaking to Hayate.

Vita nodded "This time it was his servant." pointing to Sonic as she spoke.

The woman bowed "Yagami Signum, I take it you're the creature that fell from that portal earlier today?"

Sonic nodded with a thumbs-up "That's Right! I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. Who else knows about me?"

Vita responded "Word travels fast hedgehog."

At this point Shahra finished and floated over to Sonic, who waved at her "Shahra, you all right?"

She nodded, her face still flushed "Yes, it was surprising. Who's this Sonic?"

(Sonic) "Said her name was Signum"

Shahra bowed "I'm Shahra, a genie attached to Sonic."

Signum nodded "Nice to meet you."

Nanoha and Fate dragged Hayate to the others where Hayate apologized; they continued their clothes shopping trip surprisingly without incident. Shahra's new outfit consisted of a sky-blue blouse with white thin jacket that reached to her elbows, a silver skirt, and pink shoes. Her golden armbands remained the same however.

Finally it was Sonic's turn, the only issue was the sizes, but they managed to get him a formal blue blazer jacket, with a white undershirt and blue tie. In addition there was a few more shirts, no pants though; the hedgehog just couldn't wear them, the fur kind of made it uncomfortable. All of Sonic's purchases were in a bag he carried, while Shahra's original clothing are in another bag with the outfit she bought currently worn. It was 3:00 now, and the group (with Signum in tow) decided to have a little fun, and went to a nearby karaoke bar for some fun. They got their own room with a table, TV, a guitar, and a microphone

Sonic whistled "Wow! This planet has Karaoke too? Nice!"

Nanoha nodded "So who wants to go first?"

All was silent and Sonic was chosen by default so he grabbed the guitar and stood in front "I guess I'll go first then, if you don't mind, I'm going to go with an original song."

Hayate didn't mind that "Sure, we'd love to see what you can do"

Sonic winked "Okay!" and he began to sing *"Digital Survivor" Jun'ichi Kanemaru*

After finishing Sonic had a round of applause
Nanoha "That was amazing Sonic-kun!"

Fate and Hayate could only nod

Vita smirks "I'll admit you're not half bad."

With this, Nanoha's turn came up; her song choice was a soft yet cute for her image *"Little Wish~ Lyrical Step" Yukari Tamura*

Followed by Fate: *"Brave Phoenix" Nana Mizuki*

Last up was Hayate: *"Snow Rain" Kana Ueda*

Shahra, Vita and Signum chose not to sing, and the group ended their trip and returned back to base.

It was past 6 when they all got back. They waved goodbye to Vita and Signum, saying that they'll see them tomorrow, Nanoha took Sonic and Shahra to their room on base, where it was decided that Sonic will sleep there for the time being. After a light dinner made by Nanoha, Sonic and Shahra listened to the 3 Ace's stories on how they got involved with the TSAB. Sonic had a few moments of sympathy towards them for the rough times they went through.

Before Sonic could tell his story, Fate received a message on Bardiche, which she read aloud "Sonic, the Admiral is coming tomorrow with someone who will test your abilities further in a mock fight".

Sonic replied "Okay"

Hayate said "Let's get some sleep first"

Sonic took the couch before anyone could say anything; Shahra went back into her ring, the other girls took to their beds and went to sleep

-The Next Day-

Everyone woke up early that day, although it took some work to get Sonic off the couch, the issue was easily solved by mentioning of his favorite food. Nanoha cooked their breakfast, to which Sonic noted her cooking is one of the best he's had. They met up with Vita and Signum in the lobby, as well as Shamal and Zafira of the Wolkenritter, Shamal a young woman with blonde hair cut short just to her neck. Zafira was in his Wolf form, large blue furred with boots on his paws. When Sonic questioned why they were there, Shamal informed him that she was a medical officer, and that she'd probably be needed. Zafira on the other hand was there to watch and protect Hayate being one of her guardians.

Approaching from the front door were 3 individuals, 2 female one male. The first was a woman with green eyes and light purple hair wearing a brown uniform that's shared among the other girls in the lobby. The other female had blonde hair flowing down her back with a purple headband, blue eyes, and wearing a long black and gray church outfit. The last individual was a male with dark blue hair wearing a naval uniform with white gloves.

The male introduced himself to Sonic "I am Admiral Chrono Harlaown of the Time-Space Administration bureau"

The Blonde did the same "Carim Gracia from the Saint Church"

And finally the purple-haired spoke to Sonic "Quint Nakajima, Investigator for the TSAB; I'll be your opponent for the test. We've already looked at your tests from yesterday, quite impressive for someone of your size."

Sonic rubbed the back of his head "It was nothing. I'm kind of used to stuff like this."

Shahra, now dressed in her new outfit from yesterday, bowed "I'm Shahra; I'm bound to Sonic as his genie."

Admiral Chrono turned to Nanoha "I assume the training area is ready for the match?"

Nanoha nodded "It is."

Carim Gracia spoke now "The Medical Officer is on call so why don't we all go there and see what he can do?" with that everyone went to the training area

-Training Area, 10:00 -

All the spectators were watching from an observation area, the match area contained only Sonic, Shahra and their opponent Quint. Carim spoke up "You may begin when ready!" Quint activated her device which turned into twin gauntlets named "Revolver Knuckles" on both her hands, her feet now had Roller Blades on them, and her outfit turned into a combat cloak, skirt and shirt combination. While Sonic on the other hand did some leg and arm stretches, then adjusted his gloves out of habit. And the battle started

-Boss: Quint Nakajima-

*Insert theme: "Masters of the Desert" Sonic Adventure 2*

The match started off and Sonic made the first strike by attacking Quint head on, but was suddenly met by a barrier created by magic. Quint made the knuckles on her gauntlets spin and delivered a powerful counter and knocked Sonic back. "Wing Road"she said, and Quint created a strip of blue pathway and pursued the Hedgehog by travelling on it with her roller blades. "Revolver Shoot" she called out again, and she then spun the revolvers on her gauntlets and shot a short range shockwave, hitting the hedgehog yet again, then following up with"Knuckle Bunker"which her knuckles spin again and delivering another punch to Sonic, creating a shock blast on impact. Sonic got back up and whistled. Then spoke as he threw a yellow ring straight at her "Here I come!" Quint didn't pay too much attention to the ring and let it roll right underneath her. Unfortunately this took her off guard allowing Sonic to nail a harsh Spin-Dash and Axe Kick combo. Quint shook it off and knocked the Hedgehog back again with her fists.

Sonic commented "Oh, not bad. I'm impressed. But that was just round 1!" and called upon the Chaos Emeralds; giving him their power, his fur turned Yellow aside from the skin fur on his belly and arms, his quills stand up on end and his eyes turn red. To top it off a yellow aura engulfed him.

This was recognized by Nanoha and Hayate, both kept wondering from where he was until both had a flash back of a TV report seeing the Yellow hedgehog defeat a water beast that flooded a city on the news, then also from space preventing a space station from colliding with the planet.

Nanoha nudged Hayate "He's the one who was on those reports; I didn't recognize him until he transformed."

Hayate watched the battle more now "Now this will get more interesting, against Quint-san and her Revolver Knuckles."

The Yellow hedgehog smirked "Super Sonic! Now, it's my turn, Go!"

*Insert theme "Live and Learn" Sonic Adventure 2"*

Super Sonic took to the skies and rushed Quint from there, nailing her with hit after hit with his Super Spin-dash. He ended his combo with a blast of Chaos power from his hands. Quint endured the attacks quite well, and took to pursue him with her Wing Road, her attacks were shut down by Super Sonic's barrier. Quint called out and used her "Sharp Tooth" spell which through a combination of powerful blows, completely shattered Super Sonic's defenses, and following up with blow after blow after blow again until she knocked Super Sonic to the ground. The emeralds' powers were depleted and Sonic's form returned to normal.

The hedgehog struggled in stubbornness, and Shahra help him up "Sonic, Are you all right?"

Sonic grunted "Yeah. Fine, now this is a pinch. Shahra, lend me your power, please."

Shahra nodded "Yes"

As she began to focus her power into her ring, something strange occurred; hers and Sonic's body began to glow and merged. Sonic's body remained and Shahra's influence began its work, his fur now turned from blue to a Pink-Lavender everywhere except for his belly, arms and muzzle, matching Shahra's hair. The fur on his belly, arms, ears and muzzle turned a softer tone from Shahra's skin. His eyes changed from green to sky-blue to match Shahra's. Golden stripes followed his quills down and the tips turned golden. Golden stripes wrapped horizontally around both his upper arms just above the elbows. The changes then extended to his wardrobe; his white gloves turned pink, the straps on his shoes turned pink to match as well as the sock-cuffs and the cuffs from his socks. His shoes turned a lighter color of red to match Shahra's lighter features. Finally thick golden bracelets and anklets appeared on his arms and ankles respectively derived from Shahra's golden rings she wore on her writsts, fitting in between the cuffs of his socks and gloves. This new hedgehog is engulfed in a pink and fiery aura.

*Insert Music: "Seven Rings in Hand" Sonic and the Secret Rings original*

The now pink hedgehog looked at himself in awe and whistled "Wow, this is new. Shahra? (are) You all right?"

He could hear her voice inside his head 'Yeah, I think, what happened?'

Both heard Hayate explain out loud "You 2 just Unisoned, a merge in other words. This happens when usually a device, or in this case Sonic's genie acting as one, merges with their lord or master."

Quint prepared herself for another round "Let's see what you can do now." She rushed at the pink hedgehog and aimed a powerful punch. Shahra reacted "Sonic look out!" and through Sonic activated a pink bubble shield "Soul Barrier!" Both said at the same time when it activated, deflecting the shot and pushing Quint back.

Sonic looked even more amazed now, "Shahra, wow! Whatever you did, let's keep at it. Go!"

Shahra and Sonic both shouted "Speed Break" and blasted off at lightning speeds ramming head on into Quint in a pink-spindash form, then pulled off a punch and kick combo while they were close, ending their combo with a blast to knock them back.

Sonic whistled at the power "Shahra… This power… Can you feel it? Its wild, yet controlled."
Shahra replied mentally 'Yes, I can feel it too, I can feel our feelings mix, confident, yet I also feel more complete. Let's finish this Sonic!'

Sonic chuckled "Okay, Let's go!"

Quint took to the skies again on her Wing Road. Unison Sonic (which is what he's referred to as in this form) followed suit in flight. With the extreme boost to his speed he caught up to her very quickly, he then spun into a pink spindash coated in flames and barreled into her. The match ended with one more shot to knock Quint to the ground.

Sonic and Shahra separated, turning Sonic back to his original form again, the 2 high-fived. Everyone else met down at the ground. Quint also recovered and met up with the group.

Nanoha clapped "That was amazing. Quint-san's one of the higher ranked Ground mages and you gave her a bit of a fight"

Hayate agreed "The way the 2 of you pulled off a Perfect Unison was completely flawless."

Sonic rubbed the back of his head in modesty "To be honest, I never expected that either. I'm amazed by it as well."

Quint spoke up "There is still some work to be done for you; you're going to need a device to compliment your abilities. Speed can't protect you from everything, I'm sure Takamachi would be happy to teach you a defense spell or two. I could get to work on a device for you and have it ready in a few hours if you'd like"

Sonic nodded "Sure. Your attacks certainly did a number on me."

Nanoha asked this time "Say Sonic-kun, can I ask you a question? Your "Super Form" was it?"

Sonic nodded "what?"

(Nanoha)"I think I saw it, did you ever fight a water-like monster with it?"

(Sonic) "You mean Perfect Chaos? When his anger flooded Station Square, I turned into Super Sonic and calmed him down."

Hayate then spoke up "I saw that fight too. As well as one in space"

Sonic agreed "Yeah Space Colony ARK, that 50 year old space station was built by the grandfather of Eggman."

Nanoha realized now "This means you came from the same world Hayate and I are from, we only lived in different cities, it's a big world, probably why we never saw each other while we were on it."
Sonic shrugged and turned to Quint "Say, should we get started on that device-thingy you were talking about?"
Quint nodded and the group went back to the base and got to work on his device.

An hour later (11:50 AM)

Sonic's device was completed; the device itself was his ring, when activated his clothing changed. Shoes, while still keeping the red and white color scheme, morphed into boots with greater traction and resistance to friction the straps were replaced by white laces and along the side of his boots were light blue highlights. His socks now extended up to below his knees and gained blue highlights. His gloves also altered now extending up to below his elbow and became smoother and lighter, while still made of a much more resilient material for resistance they provide support for greater reactions. Just at his wrists and ankles were silver bracelets and anklets with a blue diamond in the middle, what was unchanged was Shahra's ring.

Sonic looked over himself and whistled in approval.

Quint noted now "While your clothing may now have much more protection you're going to need to learn a few spells to protect yourself better."

Sonic nodded with a smile "Well if that's how you guys do it around here, then why not. I'm ready"

Nanoha asked "Won't you miss your home though? It's the same as mine, and it's rare that we can find individuals with power as high as ours from our world."

Sonic shrugged "I'm always up for a new adventure, things have been getting boring back home anyway. I got friends at home and odds are Eggman's already been dealt with if I know them right."

"Okay then… are you ready to start learning?" she asked as she activated Raising Heart turning it into its Axel Mode.

Sonic gave his trademark grin "Okay! Let's go!"

- End Chapter-

Author's note: All right now this is making some progress now. For the Karaoke choices, I chose songs sung by the Japanese seiyuus of the characters; Jun'ichi Kanemaru never did any songs for Sonic, so I had to pick one he did for another character but still had the tone he used for Sonic. Okay for those of you who know the Nanoha storyline past StrikerS and looked up what happened to Quint, yes she was supposed to be dead from that incident, this story is a bit different in that she survived barely and was brought back to the TSAB for healing. Shocking I know to find that Super Sonic was quickly bested by her too. And yes the Unison with Shahra turned him pink-lavender, what do you expect he merged with a girl perfectly? The flames were canon in that one of his abilities did turn his homing attack and somersaults into flaming ones to pack an extra sting. Anyways long chapter, my Poll for pairings is still up, and if anyone would like to see another Sonic character added feel free to say so in a review, the limitations are that they can be from the games only, I'm not going to mix-and-match continuities, it'll get confusing and I don't know jack about the comics. Until then, constructive criticism in reviews and character recommendations please.
