In the Jewelry Kingdom, Altezza was humming as she picked flowers.

"Are you picking flowers, Altezza?"

"Ah, Oniisama!" Altezza motioned to Bright.

"You look really happy today."

"Sure, that's because I'm going to have tea with you today, Oniisama, for the first time in a while." Altezza said. "I'm going to decorate the table with these flowers. The white roses are for you, Oniisama. And the red ones are for me."

"If you asked me, I'd like yellow sunflowers!"

"I'd like pink tulips."

"I'd pick any flower as long as you picked it for me, Altezza!"

"Altezza is going to pick flowers for me? Oh, I'm so happy!"

Altezza flinched as the Heroes were there as well along with Princess Sophie and her brother Prince Auler.

"Are there any flowers you like?" Rein motioned to the Heroes.

"Incidentally, I'd like gypsophilas-pumo," Poomo spoke.

"What kind of flowers are those?" Mipha asked.

"Gypsophilas, they're white, small, and vulnerable. Just like me!" Altezza then grabbed the fairy as he made a squeaking sound.

"Everyone, welcome." Bright smiled. "It's an amazing honor to extend my warmest welcome to you!"

"We're glad to be here too, Bright." Sonic said. "Even through some of us aren't the tea party types."

"At least we don't get to wear dresses this time..." Eddy grumbled.

"But I like the dresses, Eddy!" Ed said.

"That's because you're built differently, Lumpy!"

"JUST A MOMENT!" Altezza exclaimed while shaking the poor fairy. "Just what are you guys doing here!?"

"Hey, don't look at us, it was their idea!"

"Thanks for visiting us, everyone." Bright said as they were gathered around the table while ignoring Nagino who was there singing.

"How very rude! I didn't invite you guys, and now you're imposing on us." Altezza sneered.

"Who said we're imposing you?" Bandana Dee asked innocently.

As Nagino kept on singing which annoyed some of the Heroes, Altezza and Eddy stomped on his foot, making him sing about his foot getting hurt.

"That guy doesn't know when to shut up," Eddy growled.

Rein spoke. "Uh, Bright-sama, you said, "Next time I'd like all of you to come over for tea." So..."

"So we came over, we also invited Auler and Sophie to come with us." Fine finished.

"As they say, the more the merrier, right?" Penny smiled.

"He was just trying to be nice, can't you see that?" Altezza frowned.

"Of course, you're welcome any time!" Bright said as he motioned to Auler. "The friendship between the Jewelry Kingdom and Windmill Kingdom was well-established in the last balloon race."

"You're right about that." Auler nodded as he and Bright shook hands.

"It's great to see two countries getting along," Double-D smiled.

"Yeah, instead of going to war with each other," Eddy said.

"That's always a positive." Zelda voiced in agreement.

"So wonderful, Bright-sama!"

"I'm happy you guys became friends!"

Ed motioned to the readers. "The balloon race and haunted house episodes were skipped!"

"Ed, who are you talking to?" Saki said.

"Come on Altezza, you too!" Fine grabbed Altezza's hand and dragged her.

"Huh? Wh-What are you doing!?" Altezza finds herself shaking hands with Sophie.

"The two princesses should be shaking hands too, okay?" Rein smiled.

"Altezza, let's work together so our two countries will become even closer friends," Sophie said as Altezza looked away.

"Wh-why should I do that?"

"Altezza, you should-a be smiling about this," Mario said.

"Yeah kid, turn that frown upside down," Sonic said. "You don't have to be mad all the time like Knuckles."

"Ye-HEY!"

"Yes, you're really charming when you smile, Altezza." Sophie smiled. "Don't ruin your beautiful face by making it look like a flame dog's angry face."

"What!?" Altezza exclaimed as some of the Heroes tried to contain their laughter.

"She just roasted her without even realizing it!" Eddy snickered.

"She really needs to think before saying anything..." Zelda sweatdropped.

"I think she's a ditz..." Tails flatly said.

"STOP LAUGHING!" Altezza barked, her face looking like a flame dog's face making some of them laugh harder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tea and cakes are served," Bright said. "I hope you enjoy your time here today."

"Waai!" Fine, Rein, and the food lovers went to the sweets.

"Have as many as you like."

"So no more!" Dedede said as he, Kirby and Yoshi ate.

"Great! let's eat!" Fine gobbled up like no tomorrow before choking up.

"Oh, be careful Fine, you might choke if you eat that way," Sophie said.

"She is correct, Fine." Double-D said before giving her some tea. "Drink this quickly."

Fine drank it before signing in relief. "Phew, that was close."

"You always have a passionate appetite." Bright smiled. "Seeing you like that makes me happy."

"Yeah, she eats alot like Kirby and Dedede." Bandee Dee chuckled as Meta Knight nodded.

"Oniisama, you're too diplomatic!" Alteza said. "I'd say her manners are hardly appropriate for a princess."

"Hey, lay off!" Dedede snapped. "I'm a king and I ain't caring about no manners!"

"Altezza!" Bright scolded. "You're going too far! You should say such a thing about our guest who came all this way to see us. Say you're sorry."

"Uh... Oniisama..." Altezza said before growling to the Heroes while clenching her fist.

"Now, now, please calm down..." Mipha said.

"Now, if you'll excuse me..." Altezza turned around and leaves.

"Altezza!" Auler called out.

"Don't be angry while you're walking, or you'll bump into a column and fall on your bottom!" Sophie said.

"Mind your own bu-" Altezza bumped into a column and fell on her bottom.

"I told you."

Aya sweadropped. "I think she jinxed it..."

"Also don't stand up too fast, or you might hit your head," Sophie said as Altezza stood up too fast and hits her head making the heroes cringe.

"Stagger, slip, and try not to fall," Altezza staggered, before slipping as she was about to fall on a flower bed but she held herself.

"But end up hitting the flower bed face-first." Aaaaand Altezza fell face-first on a flower bed. "Oh dear, I told you..."

"It's only because you jinxed me!" Altezza got up before stomping away. "Just leave me alone!"

"How did she know all of that would happen?" Saki asked.

"Please forgive Altezza's rudeness," Bright spoke. "We've spoiled her and made her quite selfish."

"Just like Ed's parents with Sarah." Eddy grumbled.

"Everyone, how about a short walked in the garden?"

"Sure, Bright-sama!" Rein said dreamily.

"Wait! I'd rather have more cake!" Fine tried to get more cake but Luigi grabbed her by the arm and dragged her.

"Sorry Fine, snack-a time's over!

"AAAAAH! MY CAKES!"

At a nearby pond, a swan along with two ducks were swimming but the swan is revealed to be the two goons, Rau and Yan, while the ducks are actually Orbot and Cubot.

"They've let their guard down."

"The Prominence gathering machine is finally complete." Orbot said as he and Cubot held the said machine.

"That Prominence stuff will be sucked in!" Cubot said. "And maybe we'll get to use it!"

"No, Cubot, I don't think it works for us." Orbot said to his brother with a sweatdrop.


Bright showed them around the Jewelry Kingdom, which lives up to its name.

Sonic whistled. "Bright, your kingdom is awesome."

"Yeah, I almost thought I saw a Chaos Emerald." Knuckles said.

"I almost thought these were Dust." Penny noted.

"Man, Prince Charming is so lucky to have a rich filled place like this!" Eddy said.

"I would never imagine a beautiful garden like this." Aya said.

"If someone could imagine it, they'd never actually make it." Impa said.

"My cakes..." Fine whined, imagining her cakes.

"It's just that our country happens to produce lots of gemstones." Bright explained. "And my mother likes luxurious decorations."

"I see." Urbosa said.

"Um, look. The gemstone mines are in that mountain." Bright motioned to a mountain.

"My cakes..." Fine imagined the mountains as cakes.

""Mine?"?" Rein questioned.

"You see Rein, a Mine is a place where people dig out for treasures." Double-D explained.

"Yes, they get lots of gemstones from the mine located behind the mountain behind the city-pumo." Poomo nodded.

"But personally, I think a little more inner maturity should accompany it, not just superfical beauty." Bright said.

"I don't understand, but you sound wonderful, Bright-sama!" Rein said dreamily.

"Rein, please focus," Double-D said.

"My cakes..." Fine whined, imagining Bright and the crystals in the background as cakes.

"You too, Fine."

"Princess Fine, I'm glad you liked the cakes so much." Bright said. "Actually, every one of them was made by Altezza."

"Wait, they are?" Mipha said.

"That's my Altezza!" Auler said with hearts in his eyes.

"She practiced pretty hard to win the Best Sweets Princess title."

"Perhaps luck wasn't on her side in that Princess Party, though she was actually very good." Sophie said.

The Heroes who were at that Princess Party remembered when Fine and Rein used their Prominence to get sugar for Lione, which summoned soil for sumo wrestlers who traded sugar for salt. They remembered their Sumo Stomp of Joy shook everything which brought down the cookie castle Altezza made. Ed still felt guilt from that day as Double-D comforted him.

"There, there, Ed. It wasn't your fault."

"Where is Little Miss Fluffyhead, anyway?" Eddy said.

"She hasn't come back yet." Penny said.

"What should we do?"

"What should we do?"

"Of course!"

"Of course!"

"Let's go find her!" Fine and Rein said.

"Oh yeah!" Mario nodded before turning to the Jewelry Kingdom Prince. "Bright, do you know where-a Altezza went?"

"Where did she likely go?" Luigi asked.

"No, she chose to go. Just leave her alone." Bright said.

"But I kind of think we're responsible for that." Fine said as Eddy looked down, remembering what he said to Altezza.

"This is a rare occasion, it would be better if she was with us." Auler said.

"Yes, she may be a bit noisy, but it's more fun when she's around." Sophie nodded.

"Please tell us where Altezza is Bright, we're worried for her." Zelda said.

"Please!" Fine and Rein cried as Bright looked away.


Later, they were in the castle as they found a secret entrance.

"Could this be it?" Impa said.

"I guess so." Tails said. "We followed Bright's directions exactly, there shouldn't be any mistake."

"It's really dark inside..." Fine said fearfully.

"Rather thrilling, isn't it?" Rein said.

"KIEE!"

"I changed my mind, let's not do this!" Fine exclaimed as she tried to run but Rein grabbed her.

"We have to! Fine, let's go!"

"Let's-a go!" Mario said as they entered the secret passage. But Rau, Yan, Orbot and Cubot snuck past it.

"Please, we should go back!" Fine whined while holding Mario's hand as they went down the stairs.

"Don't-a worry Fine, it's gonna be okay."

"Mario, you're gonna be a good dad someday." Sonic chuckled.

"Man, this place is creeping me out." Eddy said. "It's like we're going through one of Ed's horror movies."

"CHESUTO!"

"IT'S HERE!" Fine cried as Mario pat her.

"Ah, there's a door over there." Rein pointed at a door as they looked through it's bars.

"What's Altezza doing?" Knuckles said as they see Altezza doing a pose while holding roses.

"KIEE!" Altezza cried as she threw the roses, making it look like the pose she was doing.

"I thought so. KIEE is a better battle cry than CHESUTO."

"Altezza, that was amazing!" Peny said as Altezza turned to the Heroes who entered.

"Why are you guys here?" Altezza said sternly. "Don't tell me... Are you spying on me again?"

"Th-That's not it!" Fine said. "Bright told us you were here!"

"She's right, Altezza." Rein nodded. "He said you were probably in this place."

"Yeah, don't get the wrong idea, little rock." Daruk said.

"Oh, Oniisama, why did you let them come when I'm in the middle of my secret training to become the Best Flower Princess in the next Princess Party?"

"Secret Training?"

"Was tha strange pose a part of it?" Fine and Rein asked.

"That's right, I was trying to understand how to be a flower," Altezza said.

"Cool!" Ed grinned. "Reminds me of the Venus Fly Mother from Soils of Wrath!"

"Well, either way, now that you guys saw this, I'll have to come up with another design and movement."

"Er, don't bother. The jumping part aside, we couldn't do that awesome thing you just did anyway." Fine said.

"She's right. We can't possibly imitate you, so you don't need to worry."

"Yeah Little Miss Fluffyhead, they're not gonna copy you." Eddy said.

"You really make me angry." Altezza growled as he flinched.

"Look kid, I'm sorry for what I said..."

"Silence!" Altezza exclaimed as she turned to Fine and Rein. "You two by the other hand, you don't have the slightest desire to improve yourselves. And you call yourselves princesses representing a kingdom?"

I'd like to stand up for the twins, but what she's saying actually makes sense-pumo. Poomo thought.

"Since I was a little child, I've been making serious efforts to boecme a great princess. I told myself that I must become an exemplary princess. Dancing, decor, baking sweets, sports, I tried hard to improve myself in training. You two are only interested in playing around with those friends of yours!"

"Watch it, kid!" Knuckles said.

"She's right-pumo." Poomo nodded.

"Would you please leave already for today? It would be a waste of time to talk to you anymore." Altezza said as she leaves.

"Altezza is..."

"...out of our league." Fine and Rein said with anime tears.

"She is training her best to be a good princess." Urbosa said.

"Rolf respects her vow to uphold the bloodline of her clan." Rolf nodded in agreement.


"Princess Altezza is a real hard worker-pumo." Poomo said they were back in the Jewelry Kingdom courtyard.

"I thought so!" Sophie and Auler said.

"She's not just a selfish princess-pumo."

"I don't have a single word to counter her..."

"Yeah." Fine and Rein sighed.

"So Altezza is serious about getting out of the loser's club!" Sophie said.

"Can I still join?" Ed asked.

"We always thought we wanted to be great princesses, but..."

"I guess "thought" wasn't enough. We should have made more of an effort." Fine and Rein said.

"Indeed-pumo!"

"It's okay, you two are great princesses to us," Penny said.

"I didn't know Altezza was such a hard worker. How fascinating..." Auler blushed as the twins sighed.

"I believe you two are very wonderful princesses too," Bright said.

"Oh!? In what respect for example-pumo?" Poomo asked.

"They're wonderful in any and every respect!"

"It makes me even more depressed when Bright-sama says something like that."

"Flattery doesn't help." Fine and Rein said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere," Ed said as Bright gasped before smiling.

"It's not flattery! I shouldn't praise my own sister too much, but Altezza is a hard worker." Bright said. "Still, you two have something Altezza doesn't have."

"What's that, Bright?" Bandana Dee said as Bright was about to say it before...

"FIRE!"

They gasped seeing smoke coming out of the window in the Jewelry Kingdom Castle, but inside it was Rau, Yan, Orbot and Cubot making smoke and pretending to be in panic.

"Run! Fire! Fire! Fire!" Cubot exclaimed.

"Oh relax, it's only smoke." Orbot said.

"Of course it is. If we really set a fire, this whole place will be on fire!" Rau said.

"Seeing this, those less-than-stellar twins will use the power of the Prominence, right?" Yan said.

"Why yes, everything is going as planned." Orbot nodded, but one of the curtains got caught on fire, which they noticed.

"Oh no! This is bad! What should we do!?" Rau and Yan panicked as the latter sat on it.

"Oh, that's a great idea, Yan!" They sighed in relief as Yan's rump began to burn.

"It's a great idea, indeed..." Orbot sarcastically said as they fled with Yan's posterior in flames. The said flames began to spread all over the castle as the firefighters managed to evacuate the people while trying to put it out.

"Mother! Father!" Bright called out as the Heroes ran to King Aaron and Queen Camelia.

"Oh, Bright! Thank goodness you're safe." Camelia said in relief.

"I'm glad everyone is safe," Aaron said.

"Where's Altezza? Altezza is missing!"

"Oh no!" Luigi gasped.

"Didn't she come out yet?" Bright asked.

"This is serious!"

"She hasn't noticed the fuss since she's in the basement!" Fine and Rein said.

"Then she's still inside!?" Camelia gasped as she was about to faint as her husband held her.

"Pull yourself together."

"Come on, we need to save her!" Sonic said as they tried to enter the burning castle but the debris blocked their way.

"There's too much fire!" Penny cried.

Eddy looked at his friends and the fire before frowning, realizing he had no choice. He gained a looked of determination and ran towards the fire, shocking everyone.

"EDDY! DON'T!" Double-D cried.

"Ed-Boy!" Rolf exclaimed.

"Come back, Eddy!" Ed cried.

Eddy entered the castle as he coughed from all the smoke.

"I hope this works..." The leader of the Eds placed his hands on the floor and cried. "ICE... TIME!"

Then ice spread out of his hands, freezing and extinguishing all the fire in the castle.

"Eddy!" The Heroes cried as they entered the castle.

"Eddy? Eddy where are you?" Double-D cried as the heroes looked for their friend. They heard coughing and see Eddy carrying Altezza.

"EDDY! ALTEZZA!" They ran up to them to see if they're okay.

"Hey guys..." Eddy coughed.

"Eddy, you saved Altezza's life!" Fine said.

"Well duh, I wasn't gonna leave her there to die, how can I be a hero if I can't save anybody?"

"I knew there was good inside of you, Eddy!" Double-D smiled as Altezza opened her eyes and sees her savior.

"You... saved me?"

"Yeah, I did." Eddy nodded as he put Altezza on her feet. "Hey, I'm sorry for what I said to you from that day."

Meanwhile with the villains, they frowned to see that the twins didn't used their Prominence.

"They haven't used their Prominence, now what?" Rau said as a commucator went off and answered it.

"Well don't just stand there, commence Plan B!" Eggman's voice was heard through it as the goons nodded.

"Altezza!"

"Mother! Father!" Altezza gets embraced by her parents as the heroes smiled.

"Glad to see the kid ain't hurt after all that." Sonic grinned.

"Yeah, guess she had her knight in shining armor to rescue her." Knuckles said.

"Me? Altezza? Nah, it won't work." Eddy said, shaking his head. "Besides, Sophie's brother is good for her."

"You said it, Eddy!" Ed laughed as a shadow loomed over them.

"Hey, is it dark already?" Bandana Dee wondered as they looked up to see a robot floating above them.

"What the? Is that the Egg Genesis?" Sonic said as the Egg Genesis fired its lasers, making the heroes run for it.

"Don't worry, this thing will go down easy!" Knuckles said as he jumped up and attempted to give it a strong punch, but the Egg Genesis formed a barrier around it, knocking the Echidna to the ground.

"Knuckles!" Tails cried.

"Looks like Baldy McNosehair's upgraded his toys," Sonic said before turning to the twins. "Fine, Rein, get these people out of here! We'll handle this!"

"Right!" The twins nodded as the people evacuated as the Heroes get ready.

BGM: Boss - Egg Genesis (Sonic the Hedgehog 2006)

"You think you can intimidate us with just that size? Come on, let's see what you can do!" Dedede said as he swung his hammer, but the Egg Genesis' barrier blocked it before firing a volley of lasers and missiles, making the heroes run for cover.

"That's one tough as nails barrier!" Dedede noted.

"Then we'll have to hit it harder!" Knuckles exclaimed, jumping into the air and punching the barrier multiple times.

Fine and Rein watch the heroes fighting the robot, trying to destroy it's barrier with everything they could use, but too no avail.

"They need our help!"

"Let's do that!"

"Yes!" Fine and Rein took out their Sunny Luches as the goons prepare to use the machine.

"Alright little princesses, give us the Prominence!" Cubot said as he was about to activate it, until a whip wrapped around it, breaking it. "Huh!?"

"It's that kid!" Orbot said, pointing at Eclipse.

"You won't get anything no matter what machine you use!"

"Darn! We'll remember this!"

"Just you wait and see!" They goons gathered the machine pieces and fled.

The twins transformed and held their scepters. "Twin twinkle bloomish! Help the heroes beat the robot!"

Then, a small drill was summoned as it landed next to Kirby.

"Poyo?"

"Kirby, I think you need to suck it up!" Bandana Dee cried, dodging a missile.

"Poyo!" Kirby nodded as he Inhaled the drill. He began to spin so fast like a drill before stopping as a drill hat appeared on his head.

"He is now Drill Kirby." Meta Knight said as Kirby revved up his drill and charged towards the robot, drilling through it's barrier.

"Come on Kirby, you can do it!" Mipha said as the drill began to crack the barrier before shattering it, making the pink puffball pierce the head of the robot with his drill.

"Alright, now it's vulnerable!" Tails said.

"It's my turn!" Eddy said before turning to Ed. "Ed, throw me!"

"Okie dokie smokey!" Ed grabbed his friend threw him towards the Egg Genesis.

"Alright, now it's Ice Time!" Eddy said as he landed on the robot, freezing it in the process. "Now guys!"

"Okay, let's do this!" Sonic said as the heroes combined their attacks, making the frozen robot shatter into tiny pieces.

BGM End

"And that's how it is done!" Sonci said, giving a thumbs up. Altezza looked around, seeing the battle destroyed her garden.

"It seems that you all ruined my precious garden."

"Altezza!" Bright scolded.

"Hey, don't blame us, blame the robot!" Knuckles said.

"I'll have to plant new flowers," Altezza said, walking up to them. "Well, since any flowers will do. I may as well plant yellow sunflowers and pink tulips, the ones some people like."

"Well, those kinds of flowers are pretty." Aya smiled.

"But don't get the wrong idea. I just figured I should choose strong flowers." Altezza said before turning to Fine and Rein. "I will definitely defeat you in the next Princess Party!"

"Okay! We'll do our best too!" Fine and Rein nodded.

"Let's be winners together, everyone." Sophie smiled.

"Yeah! The winners club!" Ed laughed.

"There will be only one winner!" Altezza exclaimed.

"I suppose there will be two if it's Fine and Rein." Sophie said. "Or maybe more if Fine and Rein's friends get involved.

"Ugh, anyway, the winner is going to be me, so don't sweat about the details!"

"Okay, let's not sweat about the details!"

"Let's be winners together everyone!"

"I've been telling you!" Altezza groaned before turning to Aya and Saki. "And one more thing, those dresses you two wear look very tacky."

"Tacky?" Saki said.

"What does that even mean?" Aya asked.

"Like you two need a makeover or something?" Penny said.

"You told me, Bright, that there's something nice about Fine and Rein that Altezza doesn't have." Auler spoke. "I think I'm beginning to understand."

"Yeah." Bright smiled as he motioned to Fine. Princess Fine, I'll do anything to protect your smile.

Meanwhile, Eclipse was on a cliff as he watches them.

The Prominence power of the twin princesses seems to be increasing little by little. He thought. But watch out, the minister and his allies are after your power, driven by their evil passion.


Knightmare Lord A/N:

Leave it to Bloodyguy to make one of the lamest bosses in the Sonic franchise into one that can actually put up a fight.


Bloodguy A/N:

Eh, I have my ways. I just think they need some improvement.
