I looked around at the all too familiar surroundings. We were in the palace gardens. True, it wasn't really a garden, it was more like a forest. It had some of the rarest species of flowers and plants and even when I see it now, it's still is very, very beautiful. But I wasn't admiring the beauty of it now. All of my attention was on Silver, along with my rage. And a death glare that could literally melt stone to go along with it.
Sonic: SILVER! WHY DID YOU BRING US HERE!
My shout made him cringe. Scourge had already ticked me off today. And since he was watching the fight, he should know it's not a good thing to anger me. Why did he have to bring us here! I didn't tell them about my past for a reason, and now here we were.
Silver: S-Sonic, c-c-calm down! I-I just was c-curious.
Sonic: I don't care! Take us back NOW!
Blaze: NO! SONIC! I'M SICK OF YOU AND YOUR LIES! NOW YOU WILL EITHER TELL US ABOUT YOUR PAST, ALL OF IT, OR YOU WILL BE FORCED TO RELIVE IT!
Sonic: I-
I was cut off by a very familiar voice in the distance, that seemed to be coming closer by the second. Two blurs past us. A green one, and a blue one.
?: Come on Sonic! Keep up!
Younger Sonic: SCOURGE! I'm trying!
Rouge: Awww! Sonic you were so cute!
It was true, now that both me, and my brother had come a bit closer to where we were , you could see the two of us a little more clearly. Even I had to admit I looked a little cute. Both of us had floppy, a bit over sized ears and big cyan and emerald eyes. Knuckles had an amused smirk on his face, that was short lived because I shot him a strong death glare.
Younger Scourge: Well try harder or I'm going to win! Jeez, you're so slow!
I noticed everyone look at me. Shadow and Silver were grinning.
Sonic: What!?
Silver: HA! You were slow!?
I didn't need to answer and just pointed to my younger self. 4 year old Sonic had caught up with 4 year old Scourge. Not liking competition, Scourge tackled Sonic to the ground. They rolled in a blue and green ball of spikes and rolled down a hill and through some thin bushes. They hit a tree at the bottom of the hill which separated them. Both Scourge and Sonic landed on their bums on the forest floor and looked at each other. Sonic had leaves and small debris stuck on the tips of his sharp quills and he pulled them off while Scourge laughed at him. It was then that the others noticed a weird metal brace attached onto Sonic's left ankle.
Sonic: *points to leg brace* THAT, was why I couldn't keep up.
Tails: What is that?
Sonic: It's a leg brace. It basically paralyzes my ankle so I can't move it properly and can't run really fast.
Cream: Why did you have to wear it?
Sonic: My parents made me. They said it wasn't "normal" to be able to run at break-neck speeds.
We turned back to mine and Scourge's younger selves.
Sonic: Why did you tackle me!? I finally caught up!
Scourge: Yeah, finally! How hard is it to keep up?! I wasn't even going that fast!
Sonic: Well you don't have to wear this stupid thing *points to leg brace* If it wasn't for this I would have won!
My brother didn't have any come back so he just randomly came up with something to annoy me.
Scourge: Yeah! Well at least I don't have to be king when I'm older! So meh!*blows raspberry*
Amy: YOU'RE ROYALTY!
Sonic;*sweat drops* well.. ummm... yeah, sort of...
Blaze: Why didn't you tell us!?
Sonic: Hey! I was only considered a prince for the first 5 years of my life!
The scene changed to Scourge and Sonic heading back to the castle. We appeared at a grey, stone castle and went to the throne room where our parents sat. Just like us, our parents had crystals that control their powers. My mother queen Spirit, a turquoise hedgehog with bright cyan eyes, was wearing a long, crystal blue dress . And my father, A lime green hedgehog with emerald green eyes wearing a bright blue cape, king Strike. Strike looked stressed as he read what looked like a letter from the war that was going on between the demons. Apparently the demons were forcing the army back and they needed more men. A servant ( a red hedgehog with bright, orange eyes) stepped into the room.
Servant: Your highness, shall I get the rest of your soldiers ready to go into war?
Strike: No, I will not have any more of my men be destroyed in a battle I'm not willing to fight. I'll be going this time.
Servant: But, your highness-
Strike raised a hand to silence him. He then spoke calmly.
Strike: I am going to the war. I'm not afraid to risk my life to save thousands of others-
Once again, everyone looked at me.
Sonic: yes?!
Knuckles: *smirks* Your so much like your father.
Sonic: You won't be saying that in a little bit...
Rouge: What do you mean?
Sonic: Just keep watching...
Strike:-and besides, I'm taking my two sons with me.
Again everyone was staring at me.
Sonic: What?
Amy: YOUR FATHER TOOK YOU TO A DANGEROUS WAR WHERE YOU COULD BE KILLED!?
Sonic: Ummmm... I guess you could say that...
Shadow:*smirks*
My younger self and Scourge heard this and got excited. This was going to be our first real fight! I still can remember how excited I was. My father sent off the servant and turned to kneel down to our level.
Strike: Do you guys want to come and fight with me, for your kingdom?
Sonic & Scourge: Yes!
Strike: Alright then, let's-
Spirit: I'm coming as well.
Strike: *stands up and turns to his wife* But honey, y-you can't.
Spirit: I will not let my husband and sons go to war and possibly die, while I just sit here on a throne! * starts tearing up*
Strike: Don't worry, we'll be alright, I promise.* puts hand on Spirit's cheek and wipes some of her tears away* And if we don't come back, we're taking the demons with us. *does a smile similar to Sonic's*
Spirit: * now with more tears in her eyes* O-okay, but you guys better be back! * kisses Strike,Sonic, and Scourge*
Sonic & Scourge: Mom!
Strike: *laughs* Come on boys, let's go.
