Time to continue the action. This chapter is mostly about Sonia.
As I asked in my other story if you read author's notes, please say so in your reviews.
Disclaimor: I think I've done this enough times to stop.
Chapter 11: Sonia
After a few hours of flying to Bowser's castle, which looked just like him, they arrived at his front door.
"Bowser, open up, I know you're in there", T.J. shouted beating on the door. After a few minutes of silence, T.J. spoke again.
"Okay, Bowser I warned you", he said. T.J. looked back and Amy was holding her hammer out. He took it, put it over his right shoulder, and swung. Just as the hammer was about to make contact, the door opened. A large dragon walked out and looked at T.J. holding the hammer. He glared.
"What, it's her hammer", T.J. said with a smile, pointing to Amy. Bowser didn't smile.
"Do you mind, I'm trying to take a nap", Bowser said.
"Sorry big guy, but it's important", T.J. said, giving Amy her hammer back.
"How important", Bowser said angrily.
"The World of Trophies has been destroyed", T.J. said, standing his ground. Bowser gasped.
"Was it Ganandorf", Bowser asked more angry now.
"No, not even the Lord of Darkness could do that", T.J. replied.
"What are we going to do", Bowser asked.
"We're going to find and destroy the one responsible", T.J. replied.
T.J. introduced them after that. Then they soon all made their way to the Smash Carrier. The newest arrivals aboard went to various places on various decks. T.J., Timmy, Tootie, and Sovia sat on the flight deck, alone.
"Okay, T.J. tell us everything", Sovia demanded. That was the first thing she said to him since they found Mario.
"Alright, but I must warn you, it isn't the happiest tale ever. I'm going to tell you about Sonia and how I came upon your world", T.J. said.
"The memories of my distant past are gone, I don't know about my family or anything. Sonia was my previous girlfriend and partner. She looked just like you Sovia, but with brown hair. She was the closest thing to family I had. She meant everything to me. It started back on my home world three years ago. We were well known heroes back then. Sonia and I were patroling in our gunships on an unusually dark night ", he said before pausing. The memory was a bad one.
"Sonia spotted trouble down below, so we decided to check it out. It was a little girl being chased by a few Shadows. We stopped the Shadows without trouble. But it wasn't over, it was a trap. Hundreds of Shadows ambushed us. We fought our hearts out, but there were too many, all I had was my sword, no kinesis, and we were overwhelmed. Then their numbers suddenly decreased. We looked around us the shadows suddenly grew in size. We knew it wouldn't be easy to survive, but we had no choice but to try. There were only four Shadows, now giant. I was holding off two and Sonia was holding off two. I had just destroyed one, and was working on the other. I pushed the Shadow's weapon back and looked for Sonia. It was then one of the other Shadows got behind me. His sword came down upon me faster than I could react. Sonia had already seen what was happening. She jumped in front of me...and...well...you can imagine what happened", he was fighting back tears now, "After she hit the ground, I summoned every ounce of stregnth that I had and released it all at once. I used my Final Smash without a Smash Ball that night. The Shadows were instantly vaporized. I rushed to where Sonia had landed, her body was still in one piece, but the damage had already been done. Her chest was badly slashed,and she had lost too much blood, a Heart Container couldn't have heaedl her, we both knew that. She smiled, despite the pain, and told me not to be scared, and not to cry, she was going to be with me always. Her last words cut me deeply. Sonia died in my arms that night. I made a vow, that no one would come to harm because of me, and that I would avenge her death. I soon after left my world to become stronger. That's when I found yours. When I first saw you Sovia, I thought for one brightened moment that you were Sonia, but remembered that horrible night. I decided to see if you were someone that I could fall in love with, and I was right, you weren't and still aren't like any girl I had ever met", T.J. explained not being able to hold back tears now.
"So there you have it. It may not be well organized or detailed, but its what I have. I have to go now", he said leaving as he said the last part.
"I can't believe I forced him to do that", Sovia said, hating herself.
"I don't think I've ever seen T.J. cry before", Tootie said.
"I feel so bad for him", Timmy said. His watches looked at each other. Cosmo and Wanda also felt bad.
A few hours past and it was now dinner time. No one had seen T.J. since he told his story.
"What's wrong Sovia, you look awful", Vanilla asked, noticing her stressed expression.
"I feel terrible. I forced T.J. to tell us about Sonia", she replied.
"So he finally told you", Sonic said, sitting next to Amy.
"You knew", Tootie asked.
"We all knew, as a matter of fact, we knew Sonia personally", Peach said.
"You mean she was a...", Timmy started.
"A Smash Brother, yes, a really good one too, she ranked second in a couple of Tournaments", Bowser said, entering the cafeteria.
"She was a very nice girl, she didn't deserve what happened to her, but she did it for love, I would have done the same", Amy said, hugging Sonic's arm.
"Not if I can help it", he said hugging her back.
"I think I should go and see him, he was pretty upset, A.N.N.I.C.A. where is he", Sovia said, leaving without eating.
"In his room", she replied.
Sovia made her way to T.J.'s room. She knocked on the door. It opened without an answer and she let herself in. Sovia had never been in his room, so she didn't know what to expect. Standing before her was a giant waterfall. At the top was T.J. standing on a rock facing the the sun. How could that be, we're inside a ship, there can't possibly be a sun or a waterfall, unless you're in the simulator, she thought. Using her hydrokinesis ability, she formed steps out of the water to the top.
"T.J.", she said when she reached the top.
"Yes", he said calmly, no longer upset.
"Are you okay, you've been in here since...you know", she said.
"I'm fine, Sovia, I've just been thinking", he replied.
"But you seemed so upset after you left", she said.
"I was, until I remembered what Sonia had said, not to cry, that she would be with me always. I now see that I carry her in my heart, like the rest of my friends", T.J. said facing her.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have made you bring back that painful memory", she said looking down.
"Don't be, you have finally made me realize what Sonia meant, she wanted me to be happy, even without her, that night still hurts, but not as much as it did", he said.
Sovia decided to change the subject.
"How can all this exist", she asked.
"My room is just like the simulator, but you can't change it to what you want without permission from J.E.E.V.E.S., but it really only changes according to my mood. This is its pondering state", he explained.
The world around them started to spin. When it stopped, they were in a mid sized room with walls covered in pictures. They weren't pictures of her, though it would have been nice, they were pictures of other people. Some were the Smash Bros. she had already met, but most she had never seen before. A small cot that lay in one corner and a desk with a PC on it were the only furniture. This was obviously the normal state.
"T.J., who are these people", Sovia asked.
"My friends", he replied.
"Wow are they the Smash Bros.", she asked.
"Not all of them, look", he said pointing to three pictures. They were of her, Timmy, and Tootie.
"You have pictures of us", she said, almost crying tears of joy.
"Yeah, after all, you are my friends", T.J. said.
Sovia was so happy she hugged him.
"I love you", she said. T.J. didn't see that coming. He hugged her back.
"I love you too, Sovia", he said.
"Why don't we go get dinner, we're supposed to be having chicken, and Amy and Vanilla baked a cake, there should still be some left", Sovia said.
"Alright, let's go", he said.
They walked to the cafeteria, hand in hand, unaware of the events of the following day.
Sorry for the delay, I would tell you ,but it's complicated.
