After another long six hours of flying over the ocean from America to Japan. Sonic arrives in Japan excited as ever as he is about to see his precious Amy again. He was so excited he almost forgot he was disguised as his brother. The plane landed with the stewardess coming over the speaker telling the passengers to reset their seats and fasten their seat belts for landing.
They did just as they were told with the plane landing in as little as 10 minutes and the passengers disembarking. Sonic went to the front desk to talk with flight planner.
"Hello there I'm Brittany how can I help you?" Brittany asked
"Yes I was just wondering what time you start loading the large cargo on the plane so I'll be sure to have my cargo here." Sonic asked and explained
"Well the flight won't leave till at least 8:00 pm tonight so you can come by about 7:00 to be sure that your cargo will be loaded." Brittany answered
"Thank you I'll be sure to do that." Sonic said
"Hey wait you look familiar almost like Sonic the hedgehog." Brittany pointed out
"Well I should cause I'm his brother Manic I won't be here long I'm just here to pick up a certain someone for him." Sonic explained
"Well I hope you find your someone and we will see you later." Brittany finished as Sonic put on his sunglasses, threw his bag over his shoulder and bolted out of the airport headed straight for Baba's Café a.k.a the home of Fred Rose and Amy Rose.
Sonic's Pov
Man I should take up acting cause with this disguise no one knows it's really me but then again I owe some credit to Shadow for his great job on my disguise, I can't believe how easy I can fool people into thinking I'm my brother well enough of that now, hang on Amy baby your true blue hunk is on the way.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me getting even more excited as I neared the café but when I started to slow my run down I noticed the car I bought was there so I figured Amy was still there, I walked into the café and saw the place was empty except for the usual few customers and Saori the only one working. As usual I was greeted by Saori and sat at the counter snickling to myself at the fact that she didn't recognize me at all.
"Hi there sir what can I get for you?" Fred asked
"The usual." Sonic replied
"I'm afraid you're not a regular here sir so I'm unfamiliar as to what the usual is for you." Fred explained
"Really Fred I'm not a regular could have sworn the last time I came here I was." Sonic said sarcastically
"Hmm you sound familiar I feel like I know you." Fred replied
"You should after all I am Amy's boyfriend." Sonic stated
"Well I'll be darn Sonic, I swear I can't even tell that's you with that disguise, and a good one at that." Fred replied
"Sonic?" Saori questioned
"Yep it's me Saori just in disguise I wanted to surprise Amy, speaking of Amy where is she?" Sonic replied and asked
"She's at the dojo getting ready for her graduation ceremony." Saori answered
"Graduation, what is she graduating from?" Sonic asked
"Martial arts school, she took up martial arts training when you left as a way of keeping her word to you of becoming stronger." Saori explained
"Wow that's amazing and she's graduating today?" Sonic replied and asked
"Yes she is come to think of it we should closing up shop so we can go to the ceremony." Fred finished as their last customer paid and left they then cleaned up the restaurant and hoped into Saori's car.
"Hey Sonic what's with the disguise?" Saori asked
"Well I wanted to surprise Amy by coming to get her in disguise and unveiling who I really am a little later like after we board the plane." Sonic explained
"Okay just wondering but what do we call you while you are disguised?" Saori asked
"My name is Manic for now; I'm disguised as my brother so keep it hush hush for now." Sonic finished with a signature wink as they drove to the dojo arriving in as little as 15 minutes with Sonic taking notice of his car which to him meant that Amy was indeed there.
They entered the building and upon entering were given a list of the graduates and who would be receiving what belt and who would be giving demonstrations and was on the list for black belt and being a demonstrator in both fighting and weaponry being she was top ranked, the filed into the room and each took a seat on the front row as they saw Amy sitting on the floor in front of them. She waved at them with them waving back as her facial expression changed to a face that said who is that.
She quickly changed her face as her sensei came down onto the mat in which all the students had to bow as a sign of respect.
"Welcome Parents/Guardians, Family and Friends alike to the Ultimate martial Arts Dojo graduation ceremony today you will see a demonstration of my teachings in both fighting and weaponry as well see your family and or friends or my students except their belts of completion in the level of martial arts they have completed, I am Sensei Malone and without further ado let's get things started, First Up we have two of my top ranks going against each other Ms. Amy Rose and Takeshi Muri." Sensei Malone finished as they both came to the floor on the sensei's mark they both began to spare the match went on for like ten minutes with Amy coming out on top.
"Winner Amy Rose." Sensei Malone announced as the audience cheered and she went in the back
The ceremony continued on with several more fighting demonstrations then came the portion of the ceremony that included weapon demonstrations as Amy and three other students came out holding two kinds of weapons in their hands.
Sonic's eyes went wide when he saw Amy holding a Katana, and a pair Sai's.
"Fred she learned how to use them things?" Sonic asked
"Yep and very well might a say cause you know those guys that you beat up for Amy." Fred replied and started as Sonic nodded
"Well they showed back up again trying to mess with Amy cause they heard you were gone and well she defended herself well." Fred explained
"Really?" Sonic asked
"Yep she even pulled out her Katana at one of them and sliced of some of Michael's hair causing him to run away screaming like a little girl." Saori replied
"Not only that she broke George's nose and knocked out four of Pete's permanent teeth and pinned Mark to the wall with the Sai's and beat the crap out of him." Fred added
"Wow she really did keep her promise to me and now I believe she'll be a great warrior and not only be able to defend herself but be able to be offensive just the same, I'm so proud of her." Sonic stated as Sensei Malone called out another one of his students.
"Madoka Achina please step forth a show us the power of your nunchucks, and pudao." Sensei Malone finished as the student began to shout and jump and move around while swinging her weapons, striking poses she continued for 10 minutes until she finished he called his other students forth to demonstrate their weapons which consisted of a Naginata, a Bo, the tonfa, and the yari until he came down to Amy
"Thank you very much Takachi now prepare yourselves to see a feet of mastery out of this world from one of my proudest students and people don't think I'm showing favoritism she was just one of my many students to put forth great effort to became great in this field give it up for Ms. Amy Rose showing you her skill with both the Katana and the Sai's" Sensei Malone finished as May came forth and began to do her demonstration amazing Sonic and her family with every single graceful move she made including her ending split. Which cause Sonic and family to stand and applaud and cheer really loud for her.
"Alright now comes the part you've all been waiting for the awarding of the belts of mastership, first we have my master student who will be receiving a great honor today she will be receiving the Dan level black belt for masterful skills in both weaponry and fighting Amy Rose." Sensei finished as everybody applauded and Amy came forward and received her belt as well as bowed to her sensei before returning to her seat, he continued the ceremony until all the belts of all colors and types were given out ending the ceremony as all the students retreated to the back to get cleaned up and dressed.
As they all came out they were met by their respectable families being congratulated. Fred, Saori, and Sonic stood there waiting when Amy came out with her bag and her hair pulled up into a pony tail to dry cause she showered as they all rushed over to her and hugged her well Fred and Saori did but Sonic keeping his composure didn't just strolled over calmly.
"Amy dear I am so proud of you." Fred replied
"Thanks grandpa I'm so glad to hear you say that." Amy replied hugging her grandpa
"Great job Amy you were wonderful girl." Saori said
"Awe thanks Saori, hey grandpa who's the green hedgehog?" Amy thanked and asked
"That there is Manic he's here to get you." Saori answered
"What do you mean get me?" Amy asked
"He's taking you to America." Fred answered
"I thought Sonic was coming for me." Amy replied with a hint of sadness
"I told you he wasn't last night cause he had other things to do for you at home so he was sending someone else for you." Fred explained
"Guess I got so excited last night I didn't hear you but that's okay at least I'll still see Sonic eventually." Amy replied
"That I'm sure of and let me say it's radical to meet you I'm Manic, Sonic's brother and let me just go on the record by saying that Sonic was right about you, you are cuter in person than on a video and he also told me to tell you he misses you dearly and can't wait to see you." Sonic replied doing his best Manic impression
"That all good to know but what about his car?" Amy asked
"He told me what to do to bring it with us but we don't have to leave until about 6:30." Sonic replied as they all left the dojo and headed back to the café to celebrate.
3:00 PM
Everybody was just sitting around talking and enjoying everybody's company even Amy was liking hanging around Sonic cleverly disguised as his brother Manic. Until Sonic excused himself to get his bag.
"Hey Sonic where you going?" Saori asked
"To take of this disguise it's terribly itchy I was going to wait until we got on the plane to surprise her but I can't take it any more I'm going to go and change keep Amy distracted and tell Fred." Sonic finished heading to the bathroom to change.
"Hey Amy I bet you're excited about seeing Sonic again aren't you?" Saori asked sending slick gestures toward her grandpa to go and check on Sonic as he walked off to do so.
"Of course I can't wait to get there, the more I think about seeing him the more excited I get." Amy finished as Saori played off what she was doing as Amy turned her attention back to Saori.
"Sonic you okay in there?" Fred asked
"Yeah I'm just taking off this disguise cause it was itchy, I guess Amy's gonna see me sooner than she thought huh." Sonic replied
"Yeah she will, me and Saori will play you up to showing yourself just let me know when you come out the bathroom by tapping on the wall." Fred replied
"Alright sounds like a plan I'll be out shortly." Sonic finished as Fred went back out front.
"Amy dear calm yourself I feel you may see Sonic sooner than you think." Fred replied
"Grandpa quit it I'm trying to keep myself from going into excitement overload. Amy replied as a light tapping could be heard
"Well what if I told you Sonic was right behind you?" Fred asked
"Please Grandpa I'm not gullible I know he's not here just his brother Manic." Amy answered
"Well if you're so sure turn around." Saori said
"No I will not cause I'm not stupid." Amy replied
"Turn around Amy just to be sure." Fred stated
"No way no how cause I'm not slow." Amy replied yet again not believing them.
"Turn around baby." Sonic stated as Amy merely froze in her tracks from that familiar voice as she slowly turned around in her seat.
"Surprise what's up baby you just gonna sit there or are you gonna come show me some love." Sonic replied as Amy ran shouting his name into his arms and hugged him tight as he did the same thing picking her up and swinging her around.
"Oh Sonic how long have you been here?" Amy asked
"The entire time or maybe you would know me better as Manic." Sonic replied
"You mean you were in a disguise?" Amy asked as Sonic nodded
"I hope you're not mad at me baby I just wanted to surprise you." Sonic replied cupping Amy's hands in his hands
"Oh I'm surprised and I'm not mad and it's a wonderful surprise my love." Amy finished kissing Sonic
"I don't know if I believe how surprised you are you might have to convince me more." Sonic replied seductively
"Oh Sonic you little flirt." Amy finished wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a deep and passionate kiss.
"You believe me now?" Amy asked as Sonic nodded
They sat down and continued to talk amongst each other until it came close to the time for them to head to the airport. Amy was saying her final goodbyes to her grandpa and Saori.
"Grandpa I'll miss you so much but you will be with me no matter where I go and I'll be sure to live like you want me too, I'll always be in contact and I'll write every chance I get and tell you of all my adventures." Amy finished as she hugged her Grandpa tight.
"Saori I won't ever forget you." Amy started
"I know you won't cause I want you to have these." Saori finished putting two gold bracelets on her wrists
"What are these?" Saori asked
"It's obvious they are bracelets seriously but these bracelets were given to me by a dear friend of mine who I lost thanks to a fire taking her away from me." Saori replied
"What happened?" Amy asked
"Her house caught fire her mom, and dad were safe but she had a little brother he was still inside the house, she ran back inside to get him but she didn't come back out with him she threw him out the second story stuffed into a wet pillow to protect him, she came out completely burned they thought they could help her at the hospital but her body was too badly burned, she died later on in the hospital from third degree burns but before she died she gave me those bracelets and told me to keep them and if I found another good friend like her to pass them onto her in hopes we would be friends forever." Saori explained
"You think I'm a good friend?" Amy asked
"No you're a great friend and we'll be best friends forever and don't worry about your grandpa I'll keep an eye on him for you." Saori replied as Amy hugged her goodbye as well.
"You ready to go Amy?" Sonic asked as he finished putting her last bag into the back of the trunk
"Almost I have one more person to say goodbye to if you don't mind." Amy replied
"Sure thing where does she stay?" Sonic asked
"You'll see, bye grandpa, bye Saori." Amy finished as both her and Sonic left out the door got in the car and headed to where Amy was taking Sonic.
Amy first asked Sonic to make a stop at a local flower shop while Amy ran in and got a bouquet of both white roses and white lilies.
Sonic and Amy pulled up to a gate with a brick wall surrounding a field like area as Amy got out and walked into the gate with Sonic following she walked a slow path holding the flowers close to her heart when they started pass little grave markers as Sonic finally realized where they were Amy continued to walk until she stopped at the spot she was heading to she got on her knees as Sonic did the same while Amy placed the flowers on the grave of her mother Mary Rose which had a small picture of her on the grave.
"Sonic even though you won't meet her in person I thought I'd let you meet her like this, I often come here and sit here and talk to my mom cause even though she's gone I still believe she's here with me guiding me through life in which I hope she will continue to do as I start a new life somewhere else." Amy finished as she began to lightly cry
"Amy this is a great honor for me besides your mothers not gone." Sonic replied
"How do you mean?" Amy asked
"Well I lost my dad before I was even born but my mom told me that anybody you truly care about will always be right here." Sonic stated pointing at Amy's heart
"You have a point Sonic and I believe you're right she'll never leave me truly if she's always in my heart." Amy finished as she placed the flowers on the grave.
"you know it was hard growing up without her, cause being born a girl without another woman to look up to and grow up with is hard but look at me talking about growing up without my mother when the same thing happened to you." Amy finished wiping a tear from her eye
"Yeah but you know what that means to me that just means we have one more thing in common." Sonic replied standing up with Amy.
"Goodbye mommy I'll always love you and like my Sonikku says you will now and forever be in my heart." Amy finished as they left the graveyard with Sonic having his hand around her waist.
With them getting into his car and heading to the airport checking his car and her luggage onto the plane boarding and soon heading back to America for a wonderful party that Amy had no idea about.
(Alright everybody I know the weapons I mentioned your probably what are they but not to worry below is a brief description of each weapon I used in the story and remember to read and review cause I'm gonna keep telling you to do it until you do it. So DO IT. REVIEW THE STORY. Chao for now.)
The Nunchuck - Two sticks connected by either a small cord or chain. Originally it was used as a farming tool to thresh grain. and the farmers started using them as weapons to defend themselves.
Pudao - The Chinese weapon known as the pudao was originally an edged infantry weapon which is still used for training in many Chinese martial arts.
Naginata – The Naginata is hand forged and edge tempered, using traditional methods, the Naginata blade is at least the equal of the originals.
The BO - A large staff (about 2 M) used as a self defense weapon by the common people, who were not allowed to carry weapons.
The Tonfa - A nightstick with a handle attached to the side of it. many police forces have adopted it to replace the old police baton (nightstick).
The Yari - The Japanese spear didn't differ largely from that of other countries. During the Civil War Era, spear was the most standard weapon of bushi.
The Katana - Not just a weapon, but the soul of bushi. It is the most sophisticated form of the beauty of killing. The more beautiful it is, the more deadly sharpness it has. Katana are distinguished from broadswords for the extremely sharp edge and the slightly curved blade. The beauty of a katana appears on its blade and edge. Its grace form and grim beauty has been fascinating many warriors.
Sai - The Sai is a traditional Okinawan weapon. The basic form of the weapon is that of a pointed, dagger-shaped truncheon, with two curved prongs called yoku projecting from the handle.
