The-Wizard-King-21: Sadly the power of one Chaos Emerald isn't enough to change Fate Excalibur into Sonic's Caliburn.
ENDDRAGON369: I am torn as, its not Sonic's Excalibur and it may make him to powerful and he's, already very strong. But he doesn't wear armor or use any weapons, so he needs something to deal with the many weapons the Servants use.
Lord Metallex: But would it make a good story is the real question.
clownreaper96: Olga is dead sadly, but she got a better end here.
LegionaireBlaze: Eveeryone loves seeing Flauros get his ass handed to him, as for the Excalibur bit its weird. The Throne of Heroes and World cannot see Sonic's world, all they can understand is Sonic himself. So it cannot copy Sonic's Caliburn, because it only has Sonic's memories to go on.
myfunvideos: Sonic needs to make references, its funny and great. Regarding Sonic keeping Excalibur, I'm still thinking on it and trying to decide.
Olga's death was something I thought a lot on, she could've been saved if I bent the rules… But was it best for the story was the real question. The fact she may need to be used for U-Olga as well…
As for Orleans… The butterfly will flap its wings, and the dragons will roar.
shadowfox219: Fate is not fond of peaceful endings, Sonic is however. As for giving each ending boss a music theme… Maybe.
Oh thats a good list! Each of them fits pretty well, thank you for the suggestions.
A replica Mystic Code designed after Excalibur? Thats a neat idea!
ultima-owner: Sonic cannot get his Caliburn here, there is no way for Fate Excalibur to change into Sonic's Caliburn.
Clownreaper96: Fou… May or may not have been forgotten. I am juggling a few characters, but I will have him introduced this chapter.
LuxCranel000: Sadly Olga lacks any 'legend' to be summoned as a Servant, even Jalter had the 'Legend of Jeanne d'Arc' and her genocide of France to work as a Servant (Also Holy Grail influence). Olga lacks anything to manifest as a Servant.
rednumber39: Sonic is THE BOSS! I'm still thinking on Sonic keeping Excalibur.
FanficCrossoverMaster15: Any Noble Phantasm enhaced by Chaos Energy is going to be monstrous. Sonic and the Artoria's are going to be fun to write.
Icream3435: I mean, as cruel as it sounds Sonic didn't know those humans, he knows Olga. He still would've fought if Olga survived, but realistically he couldn't save her with the current knowledge and equipment he had, so she served as more motivation
Myriad Hopes' Sonic Kiwami: *Me looking at my notes* That is both accurate to my current planning and yet completely off. Sonic isn't getting a Saint Graph, becoming a Demi-Servant or Pseudo-Servant.
As for your second comment, there is no Type or Archtype Mobius, the rules of Types only exist in the worlds of Fate, not Sonic's multiverse. If I did have to say who's the Archtype's, it'd be Light and Dark Gaia.
I do fully plan to go up to Ordeal Call, but things will start changing thanks to Sonic's multiverse now being connected to Fate's, so things will change a lot.
Now onward to your third comment. I already explained earlier about Fou. Magical Girl Illya will show up… Eventually, and Sitonai can't show up till Lostbelts. So I have plans for Illya showing up, but not for a while.
Shiki would be utterly confused by Sonic, he's died before, fought the literal END, went through enough time travel to give anyone a headache, and his world isn't even connected to the Root… Possibly. Who knows? When those two meet, it will be interesting.
I currently have no plans for Sonic to explore Fate's Earth, he'd need to hide constantly or just his existence alone could cause rising tensions between Mages, The Church, and the mundane. Chaldea is unique, they're actually willing to accept and be chill with Sonic, most others on Earth would not.
As for any Events based on Sonic's worlds, yes and no. There will be no Sonic Prime, or Super Smash Bros. I'm following a game/IDW comic timeline for Sonic. Getting to Sonic's world is also a feat only certain entities can do.
ChaosDeathLord: Nobody else has commented on Sonic's eyes becoming like Salter's, I do have some plans for some effects for certain Servants and Sonic.
AceStarKnight: Thank you! It's always nice to know my work is appreciated. As for the Servant suggestion, I am getting a lot of Tamamo requests. I was not aware she had this many fans!
FamousFox: I've got some plans, but that is a neat idea.
Sonic groaned, opening his eyes and finding himself in a familiar room, wasn't this where… Memories came flashing back to him, arriving in another world, meeting the people of Chaldea, Singularity F, and Olga…
His fist clenched, he had failed a friend. Sure Olga was prickly and they had only interacted for a few hours, but Sonic still considered her a friend and not being able to do anything to save her… It wasn't a pleasant feeling, but he had a promise to keep.
Getting out of the bed, he started performing a few stretches to fully wake up his body. But while he was stretching the door would open, revealing Romani who quickly gained a shocked expression at seeing Sonic up and about.
"Sonic! You're finally awake! Wait, what are you doing! Your still not fully recovered, you need to get back into bed!". The doctor started excited and then quickly became disapointed, why could nobody ever stay in bed when they needed to?
"Eeeh I'm fine doc! I'm already feeling 100%, just need some chili dogs and I'll be beating Lev black and blue!". Sonic smirked, finishing his stretches and doing a quick run around the room. Romani sighed, at the very least he could finally get Da Vinci off his back with Sonic awake again.
"Fine, just… Come with me, we've got a lot to discuss about the events of Singularity F and how we're moving forward". Romani requested, Sonic's jovial mood faded slightly and he nodded. The two left the room and began walking somewhere else in Chaldea, where Sonic had no idea.
After a few minutes of silent walking, they arrived at the Cafeteria which had been slightly changed. A table in the centre had multiple computers and laptops set up, with three people Sonic had yet to meet working on them. Mashu was also here, in her Demi-Servant form helping move large objects and machines parts about.
Da Vinci was also there, with some type of weird cyalndir machine scanning… THE CHAOS EMERALD!? Sonic quickly checked his quills, finding not only the emerald was missing, but also his power rings.
"Ya know, its a bit to rude take things while a hog's sleeping". The hero teased, but the Caster just smiled and spoke.
"Genius waits for no one, that and I needed to start investigating this thing as soon as possible! It's amazing, this… Chaos Emerald Mashu said it was called? It produces a practically infinite amount of energy, and this energy seems to be able to change its shape and form with ease!". Da Vinci went on a bit more, speaking of all the discovers she had found with the Chaos Emerald.
"Well yea, I could've told ya that when you were asking me questions early". Sonic said, speeding over to a chair and putting himself down, Romani joining on a nearby chair a few seconds later.
"Well excuse me for not expecting your world to have gemstones that produce enough energy to surpass the Holy Grail". The genius teased back good naturally, bringing up a hologram of some type of blueprint (While Sonic was wondering how her glove was producing the hologram, that thing looked better for clubbing people with then subtle things like holograms).
"How's that even possible? The Holy Grail has the energy of seven Heroic Spirits, yet the emeralds can do that without any trigger?". Romani asked, while he had come to expect things that didn't regarding Sonic's world, it was still illogical for the Chaos Emeralds to be able to do this!
"Not sure, theres a lot of backstory on the Chaos Emeralds, but even then nobody back home is sure how they came to be. We know emotions can effect em, probably the easiest way to draw Chaos Energy out of them". The hedgehog explained, Knuckles and Shadow would be able to explain this better, Sonic had always just went with the flow.
"Fascinating, and I believe we can use the Chaos Emeralds power to help fix up Chaldea". Da Vinci spoke, enlarging the hologram next to her. It was the blueprints of some type of machine with different slots for something to be put it. "When Lev's… No, I suppose Flauros, bombs went off, he hit the generators and now we're working on only a single backup generator. It's enough to keep the basics up, but everything else? Nothing".
"So ya wanna use the Chaos Emerald as a power source? Go ahead, I can fight perfectly fine without it thanks to… Excalibur…". Sonic trailed off, realizing he no longer had the Sacred Sword and hoped it had been just taken elsewhere.
"Excalibur is… well its still here, it may be best to show you later". Romani said, not sure how to explain what had happened to the blade as he honestly had no clue what happened there. Da Vinci frowned and brought the conversation back to her goal.
"The only problem is despite producing a practically unlimited supply of energy, the Chaos Emerald from what I've researched can only unleash so much of that energy at once before needing a break, unless theres something I'm missing?". She asked Sonic, who frowned before speaking.
"Yea, no way to get it to produce more power without the other Emeralds. They amplify each others power, and with all seven of em, you can perform miracles". Sonic explained, Da Vinci quickly making a note on the blueprints before speaking.
"Miracles? What type of miracles?". Romani asked, grabbing a piece of paper and pen for his own notes. He wasn't as good as Da Vinci at this, but his new duty demanded it he take this seriously even if he'd much rather go laze about in his room eating sweets.
"Well, anything really. Healing, restoring a forest, power, creating things from nothing, warping space and time. It's more a list of things the Chaos Emeralds can't do when you've got all of them together". Sonic couldn't help but grin at surprised expressions of Da Vinci and Roman, it was always funny watching those unaware of the emeralds true power learn about it.
"Ah! So thats why so many of your stories had you trying to find them Senpai!". Mashu intruded on the conversation, her armour glowing before she returned to her ordinary clothing. She also took a seat, slightly exhausted from helping move so many things about, even in her Demi-Servant form it had become tiring.
"A-ah! Anyway, its likely with the Chaos Emeralds power, we'll be able to start rebuilding Chaldea and reactivating functions. It may even be able to power the FATE System!". Da Vinci spoke excitedly, a part of her not believing Sonic's claim of the Chaos Emeralds power, but she'd have to wait and see for herself.
"FATE System?". Sonic asked curiously, his eyes not on the group but instead at a creature running around the cafeteria, it looked like a white squirrel-fox hybrid, hardly the strangest creature Sonic had seen but he was wondering where it came from.
"A Servant summoning system, originally it was a lot more unstable and its only been able to summon two Servants. Myself and the Servant merged with Mashu". The caster explained, before creating another hologram. It was a hologram of Mashu's shield. "But I believe I can actually use Mashu's shield to make the process more stable, guaranteeing Servants and with the Chaos Emerald's power, we'd be able to summon a lot more Servants then originally planned".
"Originally each Master would only get one Servant, and have to supply most of the mana themselves. But with the Chaos Emerald, one master could have multiple Servants!". Romani spoke excited, this could be a huge turn around!
"But is it safe? Senpai's power worked with me, but would it work with proper Servants?". Mashu poked a hole in Romani's excitement, causing the older man to gain a depressed aura.
"From my research, its actually quite possible. Chaos Energy is actually merging with the mana already existing inside of you and creating a sort of pseudo-nuclear fission. It's creating new mana by merging with your old mana, theoretically if you were to able to produce Chaos Energy like Sonic, a Servant would be able to function without a master". Da Vinci explained her research, Mashu and Romani's eyes widen, while Sonic smirked.
"May not be a theory for to long, people who hang around the Emeralds tend to get Chaos Powers. Friend of mine had no potential for it, but now she's using it constantly to create hammers". Sonic explained, remembering a long time ago when Amy didn't have the ability to pull a hammer out of nowhere, she did not need an infinite supply of hammers.
"That's in your world, we'll have to keep an eye on Mashu, we have no idea how the energy could effect her body if she does start producing it". Roman interjected, worry entering his voice.
"We'll… Have to wait and see, we're dealing with a completely unknown field of research here. But yes, Mashu you'll be getting checked for Chaos Energy with your usual check ups". Da Vinci spoke, causing Mashu to nod and Sonic to frown, usual check ups? She didn't seem to have any medical issues.
"Well now thats sorted, anything else or can we finally get to what happened to Excalibur?". Sonic asked, itching to see what had happened to Artoria's (His) sword.
Da Vinci and Roman looked at each other, having some silent conversation before nodding.
"Yea, I'll show you what happened to it". Roman stood up and began walking down a hallway, Sonic following after. Mashu would stay behind to help Da Vinci with moving things about for the new generator.
"Now, I'm going to ask whatever you do, you don't freak out". Roman spoke, they were standing outside a rather heavy looking metal door, Sonic nodded while inwardly he was a bit confused about all the security.
The door opened, revealing a glass case with…
"Roman, I thought you were taking me to see Excalibur, not some weird rock". Sonic said annoyed, it was a beautiful crystal he'd admit, a golden crystal of some type he'd never seen before, it almost seemed to glow with an ethereal light.
"Sonic… that is Excalibur". Roman said, the hedgehog's eyes widening in confusion.
"What the hell happened to it!? Swords don't just become crystals here do they?". Sonic asked in confusion, he'd seen enough different worlds to know they may have different rules to his own but Sacred Swords becoming crystals was not something he expected.
"We don't know, when you and Mashu were brought back, you and Excalibur unleashed some kind of shock wave of energy, transforming into its current state. Da Vinci planned to investigate it, but she was busy repairing things and researching the Chaos Emerald". Romani explained, causing Sonic to frown and approach the glass case, placing his hand on the glass.
Everything within Sonic said this was Excalibur, yet it wasn't, it was like the sword had lost its shape. It was still the hope of victory, still a promise, yet it had become disorted.
"Da Vinci suggested it may have tried latching onto you thanks to your… Connection with Arthur, but since it was only a temporary Noble Phantasm belonging to a Servant, it tried fading away. Trying to connect to you and fading away at the time may have… Broken it". The doctor spoke, not exactly sure how to bring up the fact Sonic was apparently his world's King Arthur. Caster had been grinding Mashu with questions when she first woke up and even now he was still having trouble accepting some of the things he was told.
"Maybe". Sonic replied, not believing that was the truth. He stared at the golden crystal that was once Excalibur, it was bigger then a Chaos Emerald, around half the size of his own body.
Sonic stared into the gold crystal, asking it for answers it would not give.
Sonic had been exploring Chaldea for a few hours, trying to get his mind off what happened to Excalibur and not distract Da Vinci and Roman from their work. Apparently the doctor as the highest authority still alive (Another failure, one Sonic swore he'd make up for), he had been declared acting director.
He had offered to help, but was told to just familiarize himself with Chaldea. Many areas were closed off, the result of Lev's bombs, and the staff were wary of him, he couldn't exactly make them trust a random stranger who wasn't even the same species as them that quick, but Sonic hoped to change that wariness soon.
But he had noticed something off, something was following him. He had noticed it out of the corner of his vision, the white furred creature he'd seen running around the cafeteria. Why it was following, he had no idea but he felt an urge rising inside him and smirked.
In a blur of speed, Sonic disappeared, the white furred creature quickly running over to where he was and sniffing about, trying to find the hedgehog.
"Got ya!". Sonic rushed back, grabbing a hold of the animal and smirking at it… Oh Chaos, it was adorable! This little guy could give Chao and Koco a run for their money!
"Fou! Fou kyu kyuuuu!". The creature announced, not really struggling to get out of Sonic's grip but staring at him in interest. There was intelligence behind those eyes, it wasn't an ordinary animal.
"Ah Senpai! You found Fou!". The voice of Mashu grabbed Sonic's attention, causing him to swap his gaze from the animal to the approaching human.
"Fou? He your pet or something?". Sonic placed Fou down, the beast starting to circle around Sonic and sniff him.
"Fou is a privileged lifeform of Chaldea, but he's been missing for a few days! I was worried something had happened to him…". Mashu trailed off, but smiled when Fou hopped over into her arms.
"Well glad I could find him for you my lady!". Sonic gave a bow, causing the Demi-Servant to let out a giggle. But the hedgehog could only blink when Fou leapt onto his own head, causing the hero to laugh and give it a few scratches.
"Thats strange, Fou doesn't usually like people, is it because your both ani-". Mashu cut herself off, not sure if it'd be incentive to call Senpai an animal.
"Because we're both animals?". Sonic finished for her, as long as you weren't calling him a rodent or filthy, he was fine with the term.
"Fou fou! Kyu fou!". Fou spoke, licking Sonic's face and drawing a laugh from the blue hero.
"Well, I suppose this makes you Fou's second caretaker Senpai!". Mashu smiled, watching as Sonic grabbed the beast and started playing with him.
Even if it wasn't something truly important, watching Sonic and Fou play about so relaxed calmed the Shielder down. She had been working a lot while Sonic was asleep, and watching this sight confirmed her choice, she'd follow her Senpai on the mission to save the world.
There's nobody she trusted more at her side then her master, Sonic the Hedgehog.
In a realm beyond time, the bands of light burn.
"My king, allow me to redeem my failure".
"No, confronting the Anomaly now would be foolish. We know nothing of his world, or his true identity".
The Demon God Pillar growled in anger, staring at his hand which had had been replaced with black crystals, clenching the artificial limb.
"Then what shall my mission be, my king?".
"You shall observe, Flauros. You will learn everything there is to know about the Anomaly and his world, our grand mission is so close to completion, we will not be made fools of by this Anomaly".
Lev Lainur Flauros's faced was covered by a sick grin, while his chance for revenge for was denied for now, he could still learn of their enemies weaknesses, all for their mission.
It mattered not if their enemies were gods, aliens or even the Anomaly, they would learn and overcome this enemy, they just needed a bit of time.
They had waited three thousand years, what was taking a bit more time going to cost them?
Not a lot happened this chapter, it was more build up for next chapter and future events. I won't reveal whats going on with Excalibur yet, you'll have to wait and see.
Next chapter will be the Servant summoning, and I'm still not fully sure who will be summoned. I'm planning on just six Servants for now and already have some selected, but more suggestions are alwasys welcome especially if you can give some interaction ideas with Sonic.
