Yay. Chapter 8. Flashback time (starts doing a conga line). You should expect this stuff from me. For those of you who are fans of Riders/Defenders of Berk, I'm more deranged than Dagur.
Disclaimer: I own nada, except idea and 50 percent of my half OC, Ingrid.
"...and I end up winning against him, until now." Sonic finished his description of Eggman.
Hiccup and Astrid were now sitting on chairs listening to Sonic, shocked at this pathetic madman's scheming for world domination.
"So, what exactly happened to leave you in, well "this" condition?" Astrid motioned to Sonic's wounds, as well as his friends.
Sonic sighed, but seemed determined to tell his story. He sat himself up using his good arm and began his story.
WHOOOOOOSH!
Sonic sped past the large crops of Mobius, hearing Eggman was up to another genius plan of his.
Behind him flew the Tornado, Tails and Knuckles piloting it.
"Sonic, Eggman's base is in range" shouted Tails.
However, before anyone could react, a rocket struck the Tornado, blowing it down into the field in a ball of fire.
"TAILS! KNUCKLES!" Sonic screamed for his friends before running towards the wreckage.
He reached the flaming heap to see Knuckles, limping from the wreck and carrying an unconscious Tails.
Sonic grabbed Knuckles and helped him away from the wreck.
He sat Knuckles down and turned to see a massive robot and behind it, a circular purple vortex, Eggman clicking controls right beside it.
Sonic turned over to Knuckles, who was checking Tails' wounds.
"Sonic, go!" Knuckles shouted at Sonic, trying to hide the pain in his voice.
"No!" Sonic shouted. "I'm not leaving you here, your hurt."
"Just go! I'll be fine." Knuckles insisted
Sonic decided it was best to not argue and he went to fight Eggman.
The robot Eggman had constructed, was much more destructive than his usual ones.
Sonic tried to land a final punch, but the bot bashed him hard in the arm, breaking the bone and dislocating his shoulder, before firing a shrapnel grenade at him. Despite putting Sonic in a weak state, the shrapnel had mostly destroyed the portal controls.
"You fool!" Eggman shouted at the robot.
The last thing Sonic did before finding himself in that snowy field, was shield his eyes from the bright light coming from that purple vortex.
"...and that's all I remember." Sonic finished.
Astrid and Hiccup just continued to sit there and mill over in their heads.
Hiccup folded his left leg onto his lap and Sonic noticed his prosthetic.
"Whoa, what happened to your foot?" Sonic questioned.
Hiccup looked at him, confused, that is until his eyes traveled to his fake leg.
"Oh, that. Lost it in an explosion." Hiccup said as nonchalantly as possible.
"Wow, sorry." Sonic replied.
"It's okay, you had no part in it." Hiccup reassured.
Just then, something jumped from the rafters and landed beside Hiccup.
"AHHHHHH!" Sonic screamed as the thing frightened him—and his friends—half to death.
"Calm down, it's okay; he won't hurt you." Hiccup tried to calm down Sonic.
"What is that?" Sonic half-choked out the words.
"This is Toothless." Hiccup smiled looking at his best bud."He's my dragon."
Sonic looked back at the creature and saw that it was midnight blue, with massive, acid green eyes and large dilated pupils. It had large wings, a tail with two fins—one of which, was red—and was giving Sonic a massive, gummy smile.
Sonic giggled at this and Hiccup and Astrid grinned as each of their patients smiled at Toothless, except Knuckles, who refused to grin and as such got a face full of dragon saliva, to which everyone except Knuckles burst out laughing.
"Yeah yeah, very funny." Knuckles sarcastically stated as he wiped off the saliva, though he half grinned at the dragon.
"But dragons don't exist where we come from." Tails commented.
"Perhaps you've just never seen one. Toothless is a Night Fury. The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself, but he's pretty much a softy aren't you bud?" Hiccup then then proceeded to scratch under Toothless' chin, which was satisfied by a pleasures coo.
The front door suddenly opened to reveal a massive man, wearing a teal tunic, large boots, a large viking helmet and a thick fur cape. Most of the man's face was covered by a glorious reddish beard, and he spoke in a thick Scottish accent. "How're they doing Hiccup?"
"They're fine, dad." Hiccup answered
"Oh, alright. Good to know." Stoick replied as he entered the house and hung up his cloak.
Hiccup turned back to Sonic and his friends. "Guys, this is Stoick the Vast, Chief of Berk and my dad."
"Hey." Sonic said.
"MOTHER OF THOR! WHAT IN THE NAME OF FREYJA?" Stoick yelled as he backed up into a wall.
"DAD! Calm down." Hiccup said, hoping his father would recover from the shock.
"Son, I swear, I heard it talk."
"I have a name, you know." Sonic retorted, to which Stoick flinched.
"Yes dad, we know they can talk. I was just as shocked as you were."
"That's an overstatement." Tails added in, to which Sonic, Knuckles and Astrid giggled at.
" Dad, it's okay." Hiccup reassured.
Stoick caught his breath and walked over to them. He still appeared to be shaken, but his appearance hid most of this.
"So sorry; I'm Stoick the Vast, Chieftain of Berk. And who might you be?"
"I'm Knuckles,"
"I'm Tails,"
"And my name is Sonic."
"I'm pleased to meet you all. I suggest you relax for now and give your bodies a chance to heal." No one seemed to argue and Stoick turned to leave. I'll likely see you later, son." Stoick called as he left them in the house.
"Well, it's about time for breakfast. Would you care for some chicken soup?" Astrid asked the four of them. Everyone agreed and soon, Astrid was hacking chicken into a pot of boiling water, with salt, pepper, celery, onions and carrots.
The hedgehogs, rabbits, cat and chao had been walking for several hours now, and we're just about ready to give up.
"Shadow, I think we should stop for the night." suggested Silver.
"Very well. Let's—" Before Shadow could finish, Amy shouted at the top of her lungs.
"LOOK!"
Everyone followed Amy and what they found, surprised them.
A large village stood in the valley below them. The houses were made out of wood, and at the back sat a set of doors in the side of the mountain. To the front lay a dock system and an expanse of ocean and opposite of their position was a forest. The houses had a layer of snow over top of them, suggesting that it snowed here as well.
Before anyone could say anything, Cream let out a scream. Everyone turned to be met by a group of men, wearing horned helmets. At the head of them, stood one with a missing arm and leg. The man seemed to be looking them over, and when he was done, he smiled at them.
"Ah! You must be looking for your friends." He said in a thick Scottish accent. "Follow Sven and I, we'll take you to the chief. Spitelout, continue the patrol." He said to the only member of the group sporting stubble over a beard. With this, Shadow and the others followed to the village, unaware of what friends they meant.
Yes!
Longest chapter so far. I hope you all enjoyed.
God bless you all.
