-TSAB HQ: Early Morning-
*insert: "Welcome to Station Square" Sonic Adventure*

The next morning everyone was up bright and early for some practice. The mages felt that their furry guests might feel comfortable with their own devices so that they won't be confused with the magic system in place for the TSAB. Nanoha suggested they go out to the training area and have a few mock battles

—Training Area—

The matches were decided now. Sonic would spar against Fate, Blaze would go against Signum, Knuckles would match fists with Zafira, who's form changed from a dark blue wolf to a muscular dark-skinned man keeping his wolf-like ears and tail, his hair a white color. And the Hammer Lolis, er I mean Amy and Vita, would also go against each other. Nanoha declared she would act as the referee for these matches. One at a time starting with Knuckles and Zafira. All of the mages, including Sonic, changed into their respective Barrier Jackets and Knight Clothing

Before Knuckles did anything however, he put on a pair of silver with red trimmed claws known as the Shovel Claws and glowing red and green attachments to his fists along the side and a red neon bar across his fists, known as the Hammer Gloves. He punched his fists together, thrust his fists a few times then he was ready.

—Knuckles VS Zafira—
*Insert: "Suitable Opponent" Sonic Adventure 2*

Knuckles first started off with a charge straight for the tall wolf-man, a powerful right hook primed. Zafira, who's skilled at hand to hand, saw this coming and prepared a nameless indigo-white barrier; however what he didn't expect was for Knuckles's fist to glow a violet red and pierced the barrier. Knuckles followed up with a glowing left hook and spiral uppercut. Zafira was taken by surprise by the power this red mutt's fists had. He recovered from the punches quite easily however, being hit by far worse and reacted with a powerful counter offensive combo, dealing at least 3 punches before Knuckles guarded with his claws. The 2 exchanged punch after punch for nearly a minute, neither side giving in to the other.

Knuckles tried his luck and dug underground with his shovel claws, however this was easily predicted by Zafira, and through the use of the wolf-man's "Steel Yoke", the red echidna was forced out of the ground and left trapped by several white "Yokes" or spikes that came out of the ground, the surprised echidna was left unguarded and Zafira took the advantage with a combination of punches and kicks, and ended the match by throwing the echidna at a wall. With Zafira's test of Knuckles finished the training now shifted to Vita and Amy

—Amy VS Vita—

Both girls stared each other down in similar stances with their hammers, Amy's red and yellow mallet versus Vita's smaller hammer. Vita took to the offensive early with a rush and a swing of Graf Eisen. The pink hedgehog barely managed to block and deflect Vita with her hammer which makes its namesake "Piko" sound on impact. Vita held out 4 metallic balls in between her fingers and Graf Eisen called "Schwalbefliegen", Vita tossed the orbs up and hit them with Eisen, they soared towards her surprised opponent. Amy quickly reacted by spinning in a circle and firing a small pink tornado which spread the bolts on impact, and still headed for Vita. The Iron Knight calling upon her device "Barrier!" in which Eisen's reply "Panzerhindernis" that encased the mage in a red dome-shaped barrier. The redhead then shifted her device's form into its missile shaped "Raketenform" , ignited the jet on the rear of the head and spun towards Amy. The pink hedgehog tried to guard with her hammer but found it shattered by the Missile's impact and she was knocked defenseless to the ground. Ending her match, now it was Blaze's turn against Signum.

—Blaze VS Signum—

The Cat stared down the Swordswoman. Signum wielding Laevatein in its sword form, while Blaze was unarmed although her fists were emitting a flame-like glow, stood firm in a stance. Blaze launched off at quick pace, although not as quick as the hedgehogs, her speed was still notable, and spun in a top with her body coated in flames, making her a flaming top. Signum set her sword on fire and deflected the bursting cat. Blaze tried to attack from a distance by sending spears of flame at the woman, whose device called out "Panzerschild" which created a purple Belkan-Triangle that deflected the spears.

Signum called out to her device, which said "Schlangeform" and the blade extended piece by piece, turning it into a whip. She swung the whip-like sword at the cat, the tip encircled and trapped her. Blaze managed to spin out of it and nailed Signum with her dash. The swordswoman let the blade whip return to its original sword form "Schwertform" Laevatein called out. Signum called for the Device's scabbard and sheathed her blade, ending their match with a draw. The training shifts to Sonic and Fate

—Sonic VS Fate—
*Insert: "High Speed Action", Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's*

The 2 didn't wait a second before they disappeared into flashes of light, light blue for Sonic and yellow for Fate. The 2 flashes collided with each other at an extremely fast pace multiple times, no clear advantages displayed yet. Both sides backed off and stared each other down.

"Plasma Lancer" Bardiche's male voice spoke and displayed while Fate created 8 bolts shaped like spearheads. With her key phrase "Fire!" the bolts launched guided towards Sonic. The blue blur rolled and leapt up high with his speed to dodge. However Fate spoke another keyword "Turn!" the arrows changed direction and shot towards him once more. Sonic gasped and spun into his spindash then fired a large wind-like bolt that went through the spears, destroying them, and then continued on to Fate. "Defenser" her long axe said now, and a yellow barrier appeared and blocked Sonic's shot.

Sonic landed on the ground and spin-charged in place. After finished his charge "Ready Go!" the hedgehog rushed at light-speed to Fate and revolved around her in spindash form for the Light Attack, each turn he stung her. Bardiche shifted to his Haken Form, and with this she repelled the hedgehog from any more advances. Both sides stopped after that.

Everyone met up again when the early morning training was over.

"Knuckles, Amy, Blaze, are you okay?" Sonic questioned his friends

"Yeah, I'm fine. I only was caught off guard" Knuckles commented

"Never expected that hammer to turn into a missile, now my Piko Piko hammer is shattered" Amy spoke in shame

"It was a surprise to me that Signum-san matched my own abilities, however I'd say she was far beyond me in skill. What about your fight Sonic?" Blaze added

"Well clashing with another high-speed opponent brought back some memories, I had the feeling neither of us were going to be making much progress though" Sonic answered

"Amy-chan, I'm sure we'll be able to get you a replacement hammer as your device. I think with the data we got from you, we should be able to create devices." Hayate commented

"How about we go inside and have some breakfast, then we can drop off the data for your devices by Mary-san at the engineering division." Nanoha offered. Everyone nodded and followed her inside

—TSAB HQ: morning—
*insert: "Welcome to Station Square" Sonic Adventure*

The group settled down for some breakfast, cooked this time by Hayate. After everyone was finished and compliments given to their cook, they decided to head to the engineering division with Tails to drop off the sparring data of Blaze, Knuckles, Amy and Shadow from when he went against Fate a few days prior.

"Mary-san, could we get a favor? We'd like to get Devices for them." Nanoha questioned the glasses wearing girl

"Sure, you have any data on what type of Magic System they'd, and their ranks as well?" Mary answered

"Knuckles is an AAA and effective in air and ground based hand-to-hand combat, a Modern Belka system with an Armed Device would probably fit him best. Blaze is an AA, and is quick and nimble, with levitation and Fire-manipulation, Mid-Childan system with an Intelligence Device for her since she has shooting abilities. Shadow, with a rank of S-, has abilities similar to Fate, and probably is most suited with her Mid-Childan system with an Intelligence Device. Amy Rose would be an A-rank, and because of her skills with a hammer, she'd probably be best suited with an Ancient Belkan style Armed Device like Graf Eisen" Hayate provided.

"With the help of Tails-kun I'm sure we'll be able to create devices for each of them" Mary provided

"Tails, aren't you going to get one of those devices?" Sonic questioned the young kit

"No. I think I'm better suited helping with engineering, I love to tinker with things you know Sonic."

Everyone sat and waited for the devices to be finished, finally after a few hours they were done. Shadow received a black and yellow wrist-watch for his right wrist. Amy was given a pendant that looked like a smaller version of her Piko-Piko hammer. Knuckles was given a green and red wristwatch on his left wrist. Lastly for Blaze, she received a purple diamond pendant for her neck.

Shadow's device, named "Black Shot", is a Mid-Childan Intelligence Device, when active, his barrier jacked consist of his air shoes turned into boots with the same attachments on his feet , a silver Ark of the Stars on his right ankle black anklets and bracelets with a yellow diamond in the middle laid on top of his rings that he normally wears.

Knuckles's device, named "Red Rock", is a Modern Belka Armed Device. When activated, his sneakers become steel-toed boots that maintain the same design with his Ark of the Stars bracer on his left ankle, a metallic necklace appeared on his neck just about his birthmark, his fists gain his Shovel Claws and Hammer Gloves. And lastly blue tinted white trimmed sunglasses appear on his forehead.

Amy's device, named "Rosa Blütenblatt", is an Ancient Belkan Armed Device derived from Vita's Graf Eisen. When activated the color scheme from her original piko piko hammer is kept, however her hammer now more or less resembled Vita's as far as the design. Her Knight Armor keeps her go-go boots, except now made of a stronger materials, wearing pink pants underneath her dress which now extends to her knees while still having a bit of a flare. Her Arc of the Stars being located on a necklace she now wore, red and yellow brace-cuffs on her wrists, and finally on her red headband a set of feathers coming from a metallic circle.

Lastly Blaze's device, named "Flame Lance", is a Mid Childan Intelligence Device. When active, any specific change is that her clothing changes into a silver and purple jumpsuit with small gems imbedded in her wrists that match her forehead.

Sonic's device has been fully upgraded and named "Blue Star" since his Extreme Gear merged with it, and it's classified as a Modern Belkan armed Device. When activated, his clothing remains the same as when it was usually activated, his Ark of the Stars lies on his right wrist just below his blue diamond bracelets.

After everyone's devices were settled and set up, they went to the food court for a lunch, however while they were eating a call came in on Bardiche, Fate and Sonic were to come to the courthouse to testify at Eggman's trial. Fate was called to testify as the arresting officer, while Sonic was the star witness.

Fate guided Sonic, now dressed in his blue blaze, white collared shirt and blue tie outfit (no pants), to the courthouse, where they signed in and waited outside of the room where Eggman's trial was in progress, for reasons neither of them were allowed to speak, but that didn't stop Sonic from having a mental chat after learning it from Nanoha. Shahra also joined in from her place in her ring

'Ne Sonikku, what's a trial? I've never been to any of these before' the young genie asked

'In my world usually evidence of a crime is presented and a person is judged on if he/she should be held to answer for the crime, but I'd probably best summarize it as guys or girls in suits yelling at each other in a room while some guy or girl in a black dress acts as a referee' the blue blur mentally shrugged

'That's probably a good way to sum it up. It is different though because the TSAB is a military in addition to being a police force, that's one of the reasons why we're in uniform. To be honest I'm surprised that there is a trial. I thought they'd plea this one out because there isn't much evidence in Doctor Eggman's defense and we caught him in the act' Fate added and chuckled at Sonic's quip

Their conversation was ended when Fate was called into testify, after a few minutes of examination and cross-examination by the defense, which got nowhere, it finally came to Sonic. The blue blur walked into the courtroom, Nanoha and the others were watching from the audience area. The blue hedgehog gaped at what he saw

The court was military style, everyone in black suit uniforms, including the Jury and Judge. The prosecutor was a sky-blue haired young looking woman wearing glasses and a blue TSAB uniform. The defense attorney was an older looking dirty blonde haired woman wearing a brown uniform, and she looked like she'd rather have pleaded the case instead of going to trial. She didn't pick her clients, but doesn't mean she had to like them. Sonic was escorted up to the witness box right next to the Judge's box.

"Please state your full name sir" the court clerk asked

"Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic stated in a serious tone

"Do you swear that everything you say here for the record is the whole truth to the best of your own knowledge?"

"Yeah I do" the hedgehog replied, although now he looked like he was getting bored.

The young prosecutor approached him cautiously and asked "Mr. Hedgehog-"

"Call me Sonic, please. I don't do that "Mister" thing." Sonic interrupted her

"Sorry Sonic, could you please tell the court what you witnessed yesterday at the time when you saw the defendant"

"Well I saw that old man (Eggman) flying his gigantic airship above this city, dropped a battalion of armored robots, and then making an extremely cheesy performance with the trumpets, horrible music, the works. That old Egg's been doing this since I was at least, what? 5? And as always the old geezer's shouting how he'll take over the world"

"Objection" The defense lawyer stated

"Sustained, I will remind you that even though this may be your first time here, quips like yours will land you a contempt citation so watch it!" The Judge advised

"Mr Sonic, from all your experience with the defendant, do you think he can be held responsible for his crimes because he knew what he was doing was wrong?"

Sonic yawned "Yes… I do, Eggman may act like a spoiled brat with his tantrums but he definitely knew right from wrong and should answer for what he's done."

The prosecutor thanked the hedgehog and returned to her desk. Now it's the Defense's turn.

"Mr Sonic, you really don't look like you want to be here, do you?" like this one was one to talk.

"Neither do you lady, how long is this gonna take? I've got a concert to set up for tonight, and every second I'm using at this egomaniac's trial I could be using at the concert."

The judge cleared his throat "Mr Hedgehog…" and glared at the blue streak, who only made a fanged grin in response.

"You don't like my client much do you?" the defense lawyer continued on

"Well I don't know about you, but I dislike anyone who turns innocent little animals into robots."

This drew a few stares from everyone "Sir. Did I hear you right when you said that?" the older lawyer asked

"What? You didn't know? Over the years Eggman's kidnapped hundreds of little animals and used them as power sources in his machines. Been at it as long as I can remember, and I'm sure the childish doc would love to tell you all about it since these days gloating is all he's good at."

"Objec—"

"WHAT? All that I'm good at you say! You're as bad mannered as always you pesky little hedgehog. I'll squash you like the rodent you are!" The doctor jumped from his seat and stormed over to the witness box, or at least would have if several court officers hadn't tackled him to the ground. The Judged thanked Sonic and Fate for their services and excused the court for a recess.

"Sonic, was what you said in the trial true? About Eggman kidnapping animals for robots?" Nanoha questioned

"Yeah, he's been turning animals into robots. Actually when he did that to my friends back on South Island that's what first caught my attention, they were my friends he kidnapped and submitted to the pain of those robots. My friends…" The blue hedgehog confirmed and looked a little sad.

Nanoha lowered herself and picked the hedgehog up into a hug with her hands patting his shoulders "There, everything's fine, you did rescue them right? There's nothing to worry about now." the brunette spoke in his ear

Sonic was taken aback by it, all he could do was close his eyes in comfort "Thank you, Nanoha."

All the other furries were speechless besides Amy who looked jealous "Hey! Hands off my boyfriend!" she rushed only to be stopped by Hayate "What are you doing? Let me go!" the pink hedgehog nearly shouted

"If there's one thing that Nanoha tries to do, it's to help and understand others. When someone needs a friend, she'll be there that's for sure. Don't misunderstand her helpful nature for a romantic interest." The dark brunette answered.

Amy Rose calmed down, but it was only back when they arrived at the HQ when Nanoha set Sonic back on his feet. The rest of the day moved on after it was announced that Eggman was found guilty of all the crimes he was charged with and sentenced to over 6 years in a prison on another world.

-A few hours later-

Soon the curtain of night fell and Sonic's concert came by, everyone was prepared, and a staging area was set aside in the headquarters with plenty of musical instruments. Everyone was in civilian attire. Somehow they managed to get word out and attract at least 500 civilians and enlisted. The blue hedgehog stood atop the stage

"Everyone, thank you all for coming tonight! I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! Are you ready for some true blue music?"

The crowd started a light cheer, but held off on any real excitement until they see what he can do. Tails and Knuckles grabbed the Guitar and Drums respectively and joined in as Sonic's Chorus

"All right then! I think I'll warm us up with a remix to an old classic!" the hedgehog grabbed his guitar and started to play

*Song: "Sonic Boom" Crush 40 vs Cash Cash version*

"If you're strong
You can fly!
You can reach the other side
of the rainbow!

It's alright
Take a chance
Cause there is no circumstance
That you can't handle
When you use your mind

(Sonic Boom Sonic Boom) Sonic Boom!
(Trouble keeps you running faster)
(Sonic Boom Sonic Boom) Sonic Boom!
(Save the planet from disaster)
(Sonic Boom Sonic Boom) Sonic Boom!
(Spinning through a world in motion)
(Sonic Boom Sonic Boom) Sonic Boom!

*Guitar Solo*

Time is now
He can't hide
Find the power deep inside
And make it happen
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

*A long guitar and drum session*

-End Song-

The crowd erupted in cheers from the awesome rock song the blue blur's band performed.

"Oh you liked that eh? Well sit down cause there's more to come! HERE WE GO!" Sonic declared and performed a solo while Knux and Tails stood back

*Song: "It Doesn't Matter" Theme of Sonic, Sonic Adventure 2, Song by Tony Harnell*

"Ooooh yeah!...
Aall right!...

Well, I don't show off, don't criticize,
I'm just livin' by my own feelings.
And I won't give in, won't compromise,
Coz I only have a steadfast heart of gold...

I don't know why. I can't leave though it might be tough,
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word.
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason.
I got my way. My own way!

It doesn't matter now what happens. I will never give up the fight!
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight,
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right!

Well, I won't look back I don't need to,
Time won't wait and I got so much to do.
Where do I stop now, it's all a blur, it's so unclear.
Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong!

It doesn't matter now what happens. I will never give up the fight!
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight,
Place all your bets on the one you think is right!

(Guitar Solo)

Ooh.. It doesn't matter now what happens. I will never give up the fight!
Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight,
It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right!

No! No! No! No...

It doesn't matter!"
-End Song-

More cheers from the crowd, they were getting real excited now.

"All right, for this last one I'm gonna bring back Tails and Knuckles and perform a tribute to some friends who helped me out when I got here" Sonic said and Tails and Knuckles came back up to the stage with their instruments ready to go. Sonic motioned to Shadow offstage and he nodded as if catching the silent message

*Song: "Free" Crush 40 Version, Sonic Free Riders*

"I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind

What would it feel like to be speed of light
And rule the night and day?
Watch as it passes by, your masters try you
But they just can't keep up

Into the free, into the me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so refrained, felt so constrained
But now I'm breakin' out and

I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind

I'm breakin' out (I'm breakin' out)

Beg, borrow, steal, you made your deal
With no hesitation
Crawl, walk, or run, You had your fun
Of which is very certain

Into the free, into the me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so constrained, felt so to blame
But know I'm breakin' out and

I'm falling free
In the wind, in the wind
Free to be me
In the wind, in the wind
I'm breakin' out (I'm breakin' out, I'm breakin' out)

I'm free (Free, free, free, free, free, free)

I'm free and breakin' out
Free (Free, free, free, free, free, free)
I'm free and breakin' out
(breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin', breakin' out)…

During the chorus Tails and Knuckles were performing, Shadow sped over to the trio of Aces and "urged" them to follow him. Nanoha Fate and Hayate were curious as to why their ebony friend wanted to see them so they followed. The ebony hedgehog led them to the stage, where he pushed the trio out onto it conveniently out of the way of the instruments and the furries playing them. Sonic winked at them and sent the 3 a mental message 'This one's for you girls, join in after this next verse, I'm sure the crowd will love it.' The hedgehog started to play again.

What would it take for you to make
A simple speed transition?
Into the known from the unknown
And feed this wild temptation

Into the free, then startin' me
Into the ever knowin'
Felt so constrained, felt so ashamed
But now I'm breakin' out and

(Nanoha, Fate and Hayate join in Sonic's vocals)

I'm livin' in (Free) (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the free, in the free (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin' out)
Free to be me (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
I am free, I am free (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin' out)

I'm falling free (Free) (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the wind, in the wind (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin' out)
Free to be me (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free)
In the wind, in the wind (I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin', I'm free, I'm breakin', breakin' out)
I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin' out

I'M FREEEEEE!"
-End Song-

The crowd erupted in applause; everyone was at the edge of their seats, praises all around for the astonishing music. After a few more songs from the band the concert ended. The girls realized that there's more to the hedgehog than what they've seen, and he's only going to keep surprising them with his kindness and actions. The audience was still cheering when the concert finished.

All of a sudden, a loud Alarm blasted all over the headquarters.

This probably will mark one of my longer chapters, but it's just follow up on Eggman's arrest and an overview on the furrie's devices, and notice I left a cliffhanger heh heh, you can try to guess what it is but I aint spoiling but you'll get a special present for trying.
