Chapter 4 is in the site! This one was also fun to write, hope you will enjoy it! Please review!

It took a few good hours but Eggman managed to adjust some mechanical legs for the demon bear. He also managed to arrange a cockpit stand on the beast's back. All he needed now were the chaos emeralds.

He knew who had them, he knew that he wasn't far and he knew that he wants Sonic dead; and by getting the emeralds from him and powering Mor'du up, he might get his wish.

Eggman got into his Egg-Mobile and flew away, sure that no one will find Mor'du, he started to look for Sonic with his chaos emerald scanner.

After a few seconds, he found him.

Back in the castle, the peace ceremony entered its second half, and Sonic and his friends were expecting to see if the lords will fight like Merida said.

"Ta honor the peace between the clans, the lords will now present their relics"! King Fergus announced. Queen Elinor was happy about the humble way her husband seemed to take care of the situation while Merida hoped for some sort of action to make it more interesting.

"Here it goes…" Sonic whispered to his friends.

"Clan Macintosh"! Fergus announced, followed by a group of people yelling the name again.

"Nice tattoos, don't you think, Sonic"? Knuckles asked, noticing the tattoos on the skinny lord's body.

"Just because of the color". The hedgehog answered, smirking.

Lord Macintosh then presented his relic. "We bring… The Layer"! He said proudly. "This layer slid 1,000 Dingwalls"!

"Rubbish"! Lord Dingwall replied annoyed before Macintosh continued.

"By a playing of magical tune"! He then put his fingers near the strings of the instrument before asking: "Shall ah play it now?" He started to tickle it. "Shall ah? Na. But ah could". He pointed out, quite satisfied.

Knuckles turned to Tails. "Any chance you could make me a fighting instrument"? He asked with a smile.

Tails giggled at the question. "Doesn't this Macintosh sound like that guy who has a talk show late at night"?

"You got a point there, buddy". Sonic pointed out before the ceremony continued.

"Clan MacGuffin"! Fergus then called, followed by another group of people calling the name.

The lord lifted a cauldron into the air. "The Cauldron"! He then brought it a bit down. "With one mighty potato, this magical cauldron fed the entire Clan MacGuffin"! He told.

Lord Macintosh grabbed the cauldron and started to giggle. "Oh, cookery"! Before Lord MacGuffin slammed the cauldron into his head causing the trio to laugh at the randomness.

"Giving us the strength to slay 10,000 Macintosh in battle"! He then brought the cauldron near his mouth before whispering. "Beware the power of the cauldron"! The last few words echoing inside the cauldron itself.

Sonic laughed at the act while Knuckles was still impressed with how imaginary those relics sounded. "You think you can also create a potato that can give me power to smash 10,000 robots"?

"You can do that already, Knuckles". Tails pointed out.

"Oh, right…"

Their attention was then brought back to the ceremony as it was the last lord's turn.

"Clan Dingwall"! Fergus called, looking less thrilled then before. Once again, a group of people cheered for the name.

The lord lifted a rock into the sky. "We bring… a rock"!

There was a bit of silence for a moment, everyone waiting for an explanation about that relic.

"Don't tell me that's it"! Knuckles said to himself.

"That's it". Dingwall then added.

Sonic face palmed and so did Knuckles. Tails only laughed at the stupidity of this.

"A rock"? MacGuffin asked before bursting into laughter, Macintosh sharing the enjoyment.

Dingwall wasn't about to let it go without action and dropped the rock on MacGuffin's foot. The lord yelled in pain as Macintosh started to laugh at the side. MacGuffin however, quickly slammed the cauldron into the skinny lord and pounced Dingwall right afterwards.

Sonic and Knuckles watched in enjoyment as a fight ensured.

"Well, I guess you can say that rock crushed 1 MacGuffin foot". Tails joked, earning a laugh from his 2 friends.

"Good one, Tails"! Sonic complimented.

Fergus was quite excited about the fight and Merida was also happy to see some action going on during this ceremony.

"Fergus"! Elinor called, clearly not pleased with this turn of events. Fergus signed as he understood he needs to stop this.

But before he could say anything, the MacGuffin cauldron came flying right into Fergus's head, causing him to fall back into his throne.

The trio continued to laugh as the fight got bigger and Merida herself started laughing uncontrollably at her father for getting hit with the cauldron.

"That went well…" The queen crossed her hands in disappointment.

Elinor then turned to her daughter with a somewhat scolding face. "Merida, control yer laughter, ah know it's entertaining fer ye but now is not the time".

"Aye, mum". The princess managed to regain her breathing. She then picked a bit behind the thrones to see her new animal friends enjoying the fight, she smiled and turned back to the event before her.

Sonic and Knuckles continued to watch with interest while Tails turned around to whiteness 3 identical kids. All of them had red curly hair, blue eyes and they all had a shocked expression on their faces.

"Um… guys"? Tails mentioned to his 2 friends.

They both turned around to see what was up and saw the same thing as their fox friend.

"So much for no one spotting us". Knuckles mumbled under his breath.

"Do you think they are related to Merida"? Sonic asked.

With the mention of the girl's name, the 3 boys seemed shocked and worried, and without further staring, each kid jumped on one of the humanoid animals.

The trio tried to hold them back but not to the degree of hurting them, they were just kids after all.

One of the boys caught one of Tails's tails, the fox started spinning them by instinct while the kid was still holding on to one.

After a few spins, Tails stopped it but the kid was evidently thrown into the sky. The sight of a kid flying in the sky was enough to stop the fight between the lords and get everyone's attention.

Merida and her parents stepped up from their thrones to see what everyone was looking at and their faces turned pale when they saw the same kid in the air.

"Oh na…" Merida said to herself, figuring her animal friends were related to this.

The boy then started to fall back down and without a second thought the king got up and started to advance towards the landing spot. The queen right on his heels and everyone else was following them.

Tails managed to catch the falling kid just before he hit the ground.

The kid giggled at the recent event while his supposed brothers were looking at him in awe.

Sonic shared glances with Tails and Knuckles but soon the large king was facing them with the rest of the kingdom.

Everyone looked at the trio in confusion, they clearly saw them as animals but they had gloves and shoes which wasn't normal.

"Um… This is not what it looks like, your…" But before Sonic could finish the sentence Fergus's voice started bumming.

"That animal can talk! Boys, stay away from this cursed creature! Every one, atta…"

"STOP"! There was suddenly a loud scream. All the presents looked in the direction to see Merida.

She quickly got in front of the trio. "They are not dangerous, they are friendly and they came to ask fer yer gaudiness, Dad".

Fergus didn't really know how to react, how did his daughter come to that conclusion?

"Ah told them ta wait until the peace ceremony was done before introducing them ta ye, but some wee devils found them a wee bit early". She finished.

Elinor clearly looked as confused as her husband and the rest. But before anyone could say anything there was a large explosion and after came 2 large groups of robots.

One group was filled with orange robots with eyes while the others were purplish black with longer arms and looked more menacing.

Before anyone could have comprehended what happened, a large man with a long mustache and a red jacked arrived at the scene in a sort of a space ship.

If anyone found the scene with the lords familliar from somewhere, it's because I shamelessly copied that scene from a featurrete made to promote the movie. I came across it on Youtube and thought "Yeah, I can use this". Of course, Sonic and the gang being there is my doing.

Yes, I made a refrence to Craig Ferguson. I know that making it look like real life people existing is the Sonic universe might sound dumb and not logical but think about it, the games seem to take place in a modern world that's simillar to ours but with more cartoony people so the situation isn't as not logical as it might seem at first. Plus, Craig Ferguson is awesome, he deserves a refrence!
