Chapter 5 is alive! As if fate wants it, This is being upload a bit after Sonic was announced to return in the next "Super Smash Bros." which is awesome and a day after I happened to catch "Brave" on TV. So let's do this!

Eggman laughed hard as he saw the look of horror in everyone's eyes.

"I told you to give me the hedgehog, but you choose to fight back. Well, I'm sure that when the demon bear will be back, he will enjoy feasting on you all"!

"Demon bear…"? Sonic asked.

"Mor'du"?! Merida asked in shock. "It can't be…"

All of the highlanders gasped in horror by the mention of the bear that took their king's leg and almost got the kingdom rid of both queen and princess.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! The bear will come to you, Sonic! And after you, your friends. And then… both this universe and ours!" Eggman declared proudly.

Sonic, however, wasn't intimated by the doctor's words. "If I had a dollar for every time you said you will destroy me, I would have been the richest hedgehog in the world. Why will this time be any different"?

"You think you can handle this, hedgehog? Come to the stone circle in the forest. Bring as many friends as you want. The more… THE MEREIR!"

Eggman then got away from there. Sonic was about to leave with Tails and Knuckles but Merida stopped them.

"Na! Dan't ga! Ye have na idea what Mor'du is like"!

"What can you tell us about him? You seem familiar with this bear". Tails asked her.

Merida signed but told them anyway.

"Mor'du is the one wha took ma father's leg." Merida pointed to her dad. "And… a few weeks aga, we thought we have defeated him fer good. He was crushed under a stone ba ma mother and we thought…"

"Whoa! Hold it!" Sonic paused and turned to Elinor. "No offence, your majesty but… how is this bear so dangerous if someone as elegant as you killed him before"?

"Ta make a long story short, ah turned her inta a bear after an argument we had and ta change her back we pretty much needed ta take him down." Merida explained.

The trio had an expression on their faces that spelled "Shock" like nothing else, but they pulled themselves together.

"Okay… Anyway, this is not the first time Eggman has revived an ancient evil to get what he wants. We beat him then, we can do it now." Sonic put confidence in them that it will be alright.

Soon after, a trail of little blue creatures appeared in front of our heroes. The group looked at them with awe.

"The will o' the wisps!" Merida claimed.

"The what of who"? Knuckles asked.

"Those creatures are known fer leading people ta their fates! They helped me last time". The princess answered. "They will probably lead us ta Eggman and Mor'du!"

Sonic looked at her. "You want to come with us? There is really no need for you to come, we can handle him".

"Sa help won't hurt ye. Right, ye wee hedgehog"? She crooked a smile at him.

Fergus came behind his daughter. "That man had messed with ma kingdom, sa he had messed with me!" He said holding his sword in triumph. "And besides, it won't hurt having Mor'du's head above ma throne."

Elinor, the lords and the rest of the highlanders got near Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. "We are coming with ye". Merida said.

Sonic looked at his friends and then back at them. "All right, we will make Eggman busy so that you guys will have the element of surprise by your side. Once you will get there, I will tell you what to do." The hedgehog said.

"All men ta their horses"! Fergus ordered and everyone followed.

Sonic nodded at his 2 best friends as they started following the wisps.

Another short chapter but I thought it will be a good idea to lay off the fight until next chapter...

Nothing else to say but that the first part of the finale is coming up! Please review!
