ENDDRAGON379: Not sure, both are equally interesting.
Dis0rd3r: As long as one single Emerald isn't gathered, they're true power can't be used. And the reason they're not being used as a power source is simple… Goetia is a perfectionist, he can't accept a power thats so inherently chaotic as the Emeralds even if they'd shorten his plans by months.
Goetia does have a bad habit of underestimating people, immortal or not Super Sonic is a big threat. The Chaos Emeralds will come together again, even across space and time.
Yea, I feel lots of crossovers don't mention how one side may be very childish compared to the other. Sonic isn't ignorant to the dark side of stuff, theres no way Eggman hasn't left a lot of bodies behind him, but Eggman is 'tamed'. He wants to conquer the world, but knows if he doesn't play by certain rules *Shadow loads his gun* certain people won't be so willing to listen to Sonic.
I always see MC's beat Jeanne Alter and summon her later, but I wanted to show WHY she'd willing be summoned by Sonic here without the whole weird event. Sonic was the first to ever believe in her and treat her as a person, she would go through hell for him.
Proud Parent: Flauros beatdowns are always cathartic, and Super Sonic is glorious.
clownreaper96: Jeanne is Jeanne, no more need be said.
Me-B-Wee-G: I know Shadow is the more thought of when thinking of Sonic fakers, my thoughts always go to Metal Sonic, who's very existence is meant to copy Sonic. Theres also Silver Sonic, Mecha Sonic, and any others that exist. Metal Sonic is a better reflection of Jeanne Alter then Shadow I believe.
xmodaliyong12: Perhaps Chip will return. Fairly certain the twitter takeovers contain canon knowledge, so I use some stuff from them. Tamamo in F/Go is both technically and technically isn't Extra's Tamamo, she has the same memories but at the end of the day she is a different version.
I am thinking of changing up a certain event in the future to include more Extra stuff, we'll see.
Pride of the Quincy: Only makes sense for Sonic to use the title he knows and perfect knight sounds… Boring. When you take away his kindness, Sonic can deliver some very brutal insults.
Salter couldn't defeat a Colour-Power enhanced Lancelot in a fight, so she beat him in another way, mentally.
Sonic has been suffering some pretty bad moments here, losing friends, having to save an entirely different world, and having the power of the Wisps turned against him. He's an endless ball of bravery, but even he has moments of weakness, which is where his friends come in.
Sonic is someone who lifts others up, but sometimes he needs a lift up from his friends. Maybe the world would be better with a grim saviour or last master of humanity, but instead it has the blue blur, and I think we may get a happier ending from that.
Luckenhaft: Some Singularities will be cleared very fast just because of Sonic's nature and not being limited by story/game mechanics. Some will be longer, as I'm trying to write longer chapters (Last chapter was my longest chapter yet and I'm feeling pretty happy with it).
Goetia hasn't done anything to the Emeralds, he just believes Sonic can't gather them all. I won't reveal where each Emerald is as they're not all in main Singularities, but lets just say he's rightfully confident to believe Sonic can't gather all the Emeralds… But Sonic is Sonic, he has a habit of breaking peoples expectations.
Shadowfox219: Sonic is Sonic, there isn't really any other way to put it. Sometimes he may need a reminder from friends who he is however.
Jeanne would absolutely love Jeanne Alter as a sister, and on some level the Avenger would enjoy the constant love and affection.
Goetia COULD use the Chaos Emeralds is the thing, he's simply to much of a perfectionist to use a power that is inherently chaotic. He's confident Sonic won't be able to get every Emerald with where he sent them as well.
animu for life: While I don't view myself as an amazing author, I do try to make sure my work is good and interesting. Repeating the same plot over and over again with little differences is rather boring no?
While the Sonic-Verse Knights can't show up as Servants, I am thinking of some… Plans in the future. You'll have to wait and see. Lancelot vs Lancelot (Shadow) may occur at some point.
ultima-owner: Chaos will be united again, for there is harmony only in chaos (Just some random wise sounding words, no deeper meaning).
It'd been a few days since Chaldea had finished the Orleans Singularity, discoveries had been made, bonds had been formed, and Chaldea was in a state of peace-
"YOU BLOND BITCH! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!". A furious Jeanne Alter screamed at her original counterpart, but Jeanne just kept her smile as she dragged the Alter along despite the Avenger's struggles. "I'M STRONGER! HOW THE HELL ARE YOU DRAGGING ME!?".
"Big sister powers of course!". Jeanne smiled as she kept dragging her 'sister' through the halls. "Come on! Sonic has a big announcement for all the newly summoned Servants, I know most of them are still mad at you, but you can't earn their forgiveness if you hide in your room all day!".
"I DON'T WANT THEIR FUCKING FORGIVEN- Wait, you said Sonic has an announcement…?". Turning from furious to curious in an instant, she stopped resisting as Jeanne kept dragging her along.
"Yes, although I' not sure why he wants us to meet in the Simulator". Jeanne smiled, Alter was a bit angry yes, but the moment Sonic was mentioned she'd instantly be interested. The Ruler had been learning of her sister's habits over the past few days, even as the Avenger constantly displayed her desire to be alone.
"F-fine! Since Sonic wants it, I suppose I can come. Hurry up!". No longer struggling against her 'older sister', Jeanne Alter quickly began running (Nowhere near top speed of course, s-she just wanted to get this done with quickly!).
After a few minutes the two had arrived at the Simulator's entrance and entered, finding themselves in front of… Was this a city? Jeanne looked about in wonder, it looked like a coastal city, with water everywhere! For both the Jeanne's, they had never seen a city like it.
"How beautiful…". Jeanne smiled, her sister was much less open with her excitement but her eyes quickly travelled about trying to absorb as much as possible. "Ah! Theres the others!".
The Ruler quickly began walking over to the rest of her fellow Servants, all of them gathered around a cafe. Jeanne Alter was much less willing, especially with the glares thrown her way from Vlad and Elizabeth, not that she cared. Grabbing a random seat she dragged it a decent bit away from the others but still close enough to hear what was being said.
"Ah Jeanne! This place is so beautiful isn't it? I asked Sonic and he said its a place from his world, aaah I would love to visit the real one some day!". Marie Antionette excitedly began talking with the Ruler, by her side sat Mozart who was watching the rather strange duo of the Berserker Lancelot and Gareth.
Despite her death at his hands (And near death in Orleans), Gareth acted completely carefree under the Ultimate Knight's gaze, who was showing an unusual gentleness for anything from the Berserker class.
"Sir Lancelot! You've got to try this cheese cake!". Gareth offered her senior knight some of the cake on her plate, with him grabbing a nearby fork and taking a slice and… Nobody was quite sure how he ate, his helmet never came off despite them all knowing a body was under his armour, and Sonic had tried plenty of times to get the knight of the lake to take off his armour (Each attempt failing).
"Guuuuuh….". The strange 'voice' of Lancelot spoke, while true speech was beyond him his mental state was remarkably clear, a sense of approval could be felt.
"Yea! Lady Tamamo is really an amazing chief, isn't she?".
Cu and Sasaki were playing some type of card game against each other, the Lancer frowning at his repeated failures while cursing his luck under his breath. Across from them Lily and Mashu were talking, something about Camelot and what Sonic's Round Table was like? Jeanne Alter could care less.
"I see you haven't decided to do us all a favour and jump into a fire pit". The blackened saint clenched her fists as her eyes met a familiar gold. "A pity, my counterpart is far to merciful".
"And I'm still wondering how the hell you two could ever be counterparts of the same person, you tyrant king". The Avenger growled, sparks of flames beginning to emerge from her clenched fists. Artoria Alter stared back emotionless.
"It would be foolish to believe all versions of someone would act the same, something you should know distinctly, false saint". The corrupted king replied, neither could explain it, but since the two of them had met, dislike would be a gentle way of describing their relationship. "Are you here to kiss up to Sonic again?".
"K-kiss up!? Kiss up!? Do I look like I kiss up to ANYONE!?". The Avenger moved to summon her sword, Artoria doing the same. The others around them sighed, used to this and already expecting what would happen next.
Swoosh!
"How about instead ladies, we dig into lunch?". A grinning Sonic the Hedgehog placed a plate of chili dogs onto a yet unclaimed table, disappearing and reappearing quickly with more dishes like fish, sandwiches, and some simple snacks.
Tamamo also arrived holding a bowl filled with a strange red substance, it looked… Shaky? What? Jeanne Alter couldn't even begin to guess what it was (She would later learn it was called jelly).
"Food? You brought us here for food?!". Jeanne Alter demanded as she glared at her 'master', ignoring the warm feeling beginning to form in her chest as he smiled at her.
"Well yea, can't really plan on an empty stomach can ya?". The blue blur quickly grabbed a chili dog and took a bite, the rest of his Servants taking it as a sign to dig in as well.
"F-fine! Only because it'd be to annoying to argue against you". Randomly grabbing a random dish she took a bite out of it, ignoring the disgusted glances thrown her way for eating a fish with her bare hands, while also trying to ignore just how delicious it actually tasted.
For a few minutes the group simply enjoyed the food being prepared, Servants didn't need to eat but that didn't stop them from appreciating the kind gesture. Jeanne Alter glanced to Sonic, the rest of the Servants interacted with him so easily, so why was she struggling!? Just one single sentence, just one request to hang out, and yet it wouldn't come out!
The food was finished quickly (With two Artoria's, it never stood a chance). Now it was time to speak.
"So Sonic, what is it you wished to discuss?". Vlad asked, almost calling the hedgehog master but remembered the last time… The hedgehog was VERY opposed to the title.
"Yea! I was in the middle of getting my room set up! Do you have any idea how hard it is to set up a stage in your room Blue?". Elizabeth was being well… Elizabeth.
"Well its pretty simple ya know? While some of us are used to working together, I'm also seeing a lot of hostility between some people, and thats no good". Sonic started to explain, grinning. "So, we're going to fix that with some teamwork exercises!".
You could hear a pin drop in the silence that followed, team work exercises? What did the hedgehog think them, children?
"Why the hell anyone want to do some childish teamwork exercises, do we look like fuc-".
"-FUCKING HELL! DODGE DODGE DODGE!". A screaming Jeanne Alter leapt to the side, barely managing to avoid being stomped on by a massive metallic foot. A far calmer Vlad tried piercing the metal limb with some of his spears, only for his eyes to widen when the metal it was made of didn't even scratch.
"Hyaaah!". Mashu leapt over a missile and attempted to aid her comrades, but was hit by a massive arm of the Simulator replicated Death Egg Robot. It seemed Sonic had a different image of teamwork exercises then everyone else, in the hedgehog's own words.
'Fighting together is the best way to build teamwork, well that and fighting someone! But we've already done the second, so first method it is!'.
Suddenly, having the meeting in the Simulator made far to much sense… And made them question how many times Sonic had turned an enemy into an ally.
"WHY THE FUCK ISN'T IT BURNING!?". Alter screamed, barely banging to deflect a flying fist. She knew how metal worked and just how hot her flames could get, so why wasn't this stupid robot melting?!
"I-its made out of some type of unknown metal that seems to be immune to most forms of damage! But it has to have a weakness!". Mashu replied, still a bit wobbly from being hit by one of the mecha's arms, but her eyes widened as an electrical aura appeared the Death Egg Robot, shocking a poor Vlad who had attempted to attack it from behind.
Creating spears of fire in the air, Jeanne Alter brought them down onto the robot, her eyes narrowing as she realized something, most of the mecha wasn't taking damage, except one part. Eyes narrowed, she quickly destroyed a missile that was about to hit her with another fire spear, if she hit that spot enough…
Vlad, now recovered, summoned dozens of stakes above him to block another stomping attempt from the machine, if normal attacks wouldn't work, he'd need to use something stronger.
"Kazikli Bey!". Hundreds if not thousands of stakes emerged from the ones Vlad had already made, quickly spreading and piercing through the metal of the Death Egg Robot's leg. The machine quickly moved back with the aid of its jetpack, unknowingly leaving itself vulnerable for its next attacker.
"All curses shall gather here… Le Grondement Du Haine!". Black flames surged around Jeanne Alter as she held out her flag, the flames converging onto the machine, but more specifically targetting its head. She smiled sadistically as she saw the metal begin falling apart, the damage it had taken from two Noble Phantasms to much for the Death Egg Robot caused it to shattered into sparks of light.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Mashu watched as the Simulator reverted from some type of space-ship back to a grassy field. She glanced around, seeing Sonic currently sparring with Lily, the younger King Arthur struggling to keep up with the speedster even when he didn't use his blade.
"Come on Lily! You can do it!". The blue blur cheered his opponent on, who nodded resolutely. She tried thrusting Caliburn forward, only for Sonic to avoid it and deliver a kick to her sword arm, causing Caliburn to go flying into the air. But the young Saber wasn't one to be underestimated, lashing out with a punch to the face that stunned Sonic, grabbing the falling Caliburn and delivering a slash to the hedgehog's chest. "Owch!".
Sonic grinned, not having to waste a ring to heal every time he was hurt was great, even if he wished the Mystic Code Da Vinci gave him was more effective. Quickly lashing out with a kick to Lily's right foot, as she fell down time seemed to slow down in Sonic's perspective. Another kick to her sword-wielding hand, grabbing a falling Caliburn, and pointing it at a fallen Lily.
"Ya give?". He grinned, the Saber nodding with a frown. "Hey! Don't get all frowny on me, your doing a great job. Not everyone can deal with the fastest thing alive ya know!".
"T-thank you! I just… Wish I was as fast as you or as strong as my older self". Lily admitted, she wasn't ignorant to the fact she was on the weaker side of Servants. Being both young and lacking much battle experience didn't help that ether.
"Hey! Your plenty great as you are, and if you really want to be stronger, I can teach you some tricks". Sonic offered, an excited Lily nodding. Mashu smiled at the sight, those two really got along well-
Splash! Splooosh!
"Guh! Blah! Feels like I took a dip in the ocean!". Cu spat out more water, glaring at his own simulated opponent, the form of Chaos 0 stared back emotionless. By his side, Tamamo was quickly clearing her tail of water while Jeanne tried doing the same with her flag.
"Its brain is its only weak point, but its surprisingly fast and its body is able to shift into whatever form it desires. And this is its weakest form?". Jeanne asked surprised, she was aware Sonic was powerful and thus he had likely faced strong opponents, but with the three of them having trouble with just this being's weakest form, how had Sonic taken down its strongest?
Mashu winced as Cu was hit again by one of Chaos watery limbs, the water god was slow by Sonic's standards, but that didn't mean much when compared to the fastest thing alive. It only having a single weak point didn't help much.
There were others sparring with simulated opponents as well, all of them being mechanical (The only reason a simulation of Chaos was even here was Cu's request to fight the god after seeing it in the Simulator a while back, something he may be regretting with how it was trying its best to drown the Lancer).
"How… Many… Fucking robots have you fought?!". Jeanne Alter demanded, slightly out of breath after fighting the Death Egg Robot and using her Noble Phantasm. Sonic froze for a second as he began to think.
"Are we counting the same models as one or just each individual robot I've fought? Because ether way its somewhere in the hundreds to thousands". Sonic replied, seemingly just as lost. There were some machines he remembered more then others, Omega, Gmerl, and Metal Sonic being the most obvious (Did Sage count as a machine? He guessed so), but there were plenty he only remembered the basics of. "Eggman may be annoying, but I can't deny he's good at making bots".
"H-how does he even get the supplies needed to make that many? He'd need to spend thousands on research and-". Mashu was cut off as Sonic answered.
"Eggy's a master of business, he's got multiple casino's, tech companies, and if theres something technological, you can bet he's got a finger in that pie. The fact a lot of his technology helps the world and he's near single mindedly focused on taking me down most day lets him get away with it". Sonc's mind returned to an event of the recent past, where nobody and nothing was safe from Eggman's plan. The Metal Virus had been nightmarish and he was sure if Shadow had his way, the doctor would've had a bullet between his eyes. Not something he liked thinking of.
"Your fucking crazy, just kill him. Its simple as that, you've been fighting him for years right and he's an ordinary man outside his machines, a single kick should be enough to smash his head in!". Jeanne Alter growled, the idea of just constantly offering mercy to your greatest enemy was sickening to her (But if Sonic wasn't that kind, would he have offered kindness to her?).
"Thats just not my style, killing is… I'll not deny I've done it before, but it should always be a last resort option. Everyone deserves a chance to turn their life around, and Eggman has done a lot of genuine good in the world, helped me defeat some things I couldn't beat on my own". Sonic has had this argument plenty of times before, and his answer would be the same every time.
"Idiot, your an absolute idiot! Why the hell did I choose to let such a stupid master summon me!". Jeanne Alter shouted, Sonic just grinned and rubbed the back of his head.
Elizabeth hummed to herself as she looked over the stage, it was a bit… Boring. No lights, no speakers, nothing to enhance her lovely voice. No instruments-
"Woah, is this a stage Liz?". The uprising voice of her latest master spoke (She was hoping this would turn out better then the Hakuno situation…), she turned around quickly to see the blue blur looking around the room with interest, irritation filling her.
"Hey! This room isn't ready, haven't you ever heard to let an idol work!?". She spoke angrily, both at being interrupted and the room she'd been given. There were plenty of empty rooms, so asking for one to turn into her music room was allowed, but she'd only been given the bare basics of a room, a single dirty wooden stage, no instruments or lights, it was just un-idol-like!
"Idol? Now that takes me back". Sonic grinned as he leapt onto the stage, the wood creaking under his weight. "Bit of dingy place for an idol ain't it?".
"I-it just needs to be worked on! And what do you know of idol work anyway?!". Elizabeth demanded, what did a garden animal know about the music industry anyway-
"Well I do know a few popstars, and I'm an amazing song writer if ya ask me". Sonic grinned. "Even helped a girl become a professional signer once, now that was an interesting adventure… Could've done without the Werehog bit though".
Elizabeth's mind froze, professional signers? Popstars? Song writer? No way, could it actually be…
"Blue, are you a… Producer?". She asked, when Sonic looked at her confused, she explained further. "L-like do you help people make songs? Or make songs yourself!?".
"I mean, I wrote some songs and gave em to a company to-". Elizabeth didn't need to hear any more, she quickly grabbed her master. "H-huh?".
"Blue! You've got to help me! This room's all messy and I need it fixed within two days, that weird Caster gave me a bunch of paint and supplies but I can't paint my own room!". The dragonic Lancer shook the very confused hedgehog, what did that have to do with her thinking he was a producer!?
"Let me go first!". Quickly freeing himself, Sonic shook his head as he returned to his senses. "Elizabeth, if you want help setting up the room thats fine, but you can't just have others do the work for you all the time".
"Huh? But why? I'm an idol and noble, so its only obvious others should do stuff for me instead of dirtying myself right?". She was honestly confused, that Blackened Saber kept calling Sonic her counterpart, so that made him a noble right?
"Look, even if your a noble and idol, if you push work onto others without doing anything yourself, they'll want to work with you less". Sonic remembered some of his less… Healthy habits over the years. "If you want my help, you've got agree to do some work yourself okay?".
"F-fine! But you better do good work!". Elizabeth agreed despite her dislike, it wasn't the first time she'd been forced to do work herself. Why couldn't she just push the work onto some peasants? Chaldea had plenty of them!
"Great!". Sonic sped over to a tub of paint in the corner, quickly grabbing a large brush. "Now, how do you want this room to look?".
Romani looked over his desk with worry (His desk, even now the thought sent a spike of nerves and worry through him), grabbing a random paper he looked over it, a request to Rayshift into the recent past to gather more food and supplies, he quickly stamped it with a sign of approval.
He reached out for his cup, only to frown when he realized it was empty of anything even remotely resembling coffee, had Da Vinci emptied it again?
"Ya know, when I thought of a boss of a big organization like Chaldea, I expected a larger office". Romani screamed, falling out of his chair only to look up and be met with the amused face of Sonic. "Sup doc? How's the floor?".
"Haha, very funny". Roman unsteadily rose, he hadn't interacted much with Sonic and despite everything, he still wasn't fully comfortable with the hedgehog's presence. "Is there… Anything you need?".
"Just figured I'd check up on ya, Da Vinci said you haven't left your office for six hours, thats unhealthy for anyone, you even missed lunch". Sonic informed, the human wincing, had he really been here that long?
"There are still more papers I need to go over, requests I need to approve, and thats not even beginning on the weird things the Servants are asking for!". Why did Cu want an area to fish? Tamamo wanted a shrine made, Jeanne an area to pray, and Marie Antionnete had… Actually had a pretty reasonable request of making a large living area so people had another area to relax beyond the cafeteria. But don't get him started on Elizabeth's constant barrage of over the top requests!
"Owch, never liked paperwork, the stuff I had to do to prove I was mature enough to be Tails guardian… Still gives me nightmares". Sonic shuddered, now that was surprising, with how strange Sonic's world was, it was hard to remember sometimes that it was also scarily similar to Earth.
"Even other worlds can't escape the horrors of paperwork…". Roman stared at the paper on his desk as if it had personally offended him. "Anyway, I can relax after I've finished the paperwork-".
"Nope! Doctor's orders are for you to rest". Sonic grinned while Romani gasped, b-but he was the head doctor!
"B-but I'm the head doctor!?".
"Blame Da Vinci!".
As Roman was dragged out of his office to get some food, drink and a break, he inwardly mused, Sonic really wasn't as bad as he worried about… Still a bit to impulsive for the doctor's taste however.
Lancelot winced as the plate in his hand shattered, a frustrated look crossing his face under his helmet. Being a Berserker… Was its own special form of hell. He couldn't speak, he was prone to fits of rage, and his guilt never faded away. When he tried to be gentle, he struggled to not shattered whatever he was holding.
His current exercise had been suggested to him by Gareth after seeing her mentor struggle, grabbing some already damaged plates from the kitchens and gave them to him. The goal was to simply move about an empty room with a plate without shattering it, yet again, and again, AND AGAIN-
"You okay Lance?". A calm voice interrupted his rage, he turned around to glare before immediately bowing down. "H-hey? You don't need to bow ya know?".
"But I do". Is what he wanted to say, but all that came out was grunts and groans. Lancelot cursed himself again, he couldn't even speak before his master and a version of his king!? Some perfect knight he was…
"Hey, none of that grump!". Sonic twirled one of the plates about on a single finger, the ultimate knight watching with some jealously. That simple act of control and grace, how he longed to be able to do such a thing once again. He could wield any weapon with the grace and skill a master, but anything that wasn't a weapon? He became a brute. "Gareth explained what you're doing here, trying to practice self control? Thought I'd come give some advice because I've… Dealt with it a few times".
"How?". How? A figure as perfect as King Arthur practising self control? Mentally Lancelot understood Sonic was not truly the King Arthur he knew, but he constantly compared them.
"Two times I can think of, first time I went Super using the Chaos Emeralds… Well, lets just say I'm glad it was in a place I didn't mind wrecking. Second was a bit more of an odd case, turning into a werehog every night". Sonic explained, Lancelot remembered the explanations he'd been given along with the newly summoned Servants on the Chaos Emeralds.
Seven gems that contained near unlimited power and could perform miracles when used together, just seeing the single Emerald Chaldea had… Lancelot fully believed them, his senses had not been muddled by becoming a Berserker, and the child of the Lady of the Lake could recognize an object of power the moment he saw it. The sheer power contained within the Chaos Emerald… Only Jeanne Alter, Tamamo, and King Arth- Artoria Alter seemed to realize the cosmic power of the Emeralds as well.
But werehog? Some kind of form similar to a werewolf, or whatever version of those existed in Mobius. But Sonic had never mentioned it before...
"Basically became a big hulking brute, my speed traded for strength and some more weird abilities. I remember the first few times I transformed I had to be careful to avoid crushing everything within my grip". The hedgehog explained after Lancelot had stayed quite for a bit to long, despite the struggle Sonic seemed to be able to understand the Berserker better then anyone else, perhaps he was just used to understanding things from body language?
Lancelot wished he could ask, he wished he could speak, just two words, that's all he wished he could say… But perhaps, he didn't need to say them with words, but actions?
Hearing a door open, he froze when a familiar pink haired girl entered the room, her expression of fear towards him, even as quick as it had been hidden, stabbed a dagger into his heart.
"Galahad…". Yet all that came out was more groans and grunts, he didn't know how much of his son remained in Mashu, but the pain still came. His son, the son he had failed as a father. It hurt, it hurt so much that even his madness couldn't twist it.
"S-senpai, are you sure its safe to not have someone watching Sir Lancelot at all times?". Mashu asked, fear still in her voice. He wanted to scream he'd never hurt her, she wasn't related to him in any way, but she was precious to Galahad and that was all he needed to know to protect her.
"Ah come on, he's not even that scary! Shads is a lot more grumpy". Sonic just waved away her worries, a grin on his face. "If there's anything I know from dealing with my Camelot's Lancelot, the guy took loyalty to another level. So just give him a bit more trust".
"A-alright Senpai, I'll try". Mashu nodded, glancing to Lancelot again, the fear was still there but something else was joined alongside it, hope. A surge of thankfulness filled the ultimate knight's chest.
"Even if I cannot speak, my lord… I promise till this Spirit Origin falls apart, my blade shall serve you". Lancelot kneeled down again, drawing confusion from both Sonic and Mashu before the hedgehog just smiled and pat the knight on the shoulder.
"What'd I say about bowing? Now come on, I wanna see what you can do in the Simulator!". Sonic would never realize just how thankful the knight of the lake was, but that was fine.
He would show his loyalty and thanks by serving the King of Camelot once again.
Now this was a fun chapter, no fighting to save the world, just characters interacting and a little bit of action. Realized I haven't really wrote any Romani and Sonic interaction, so got a little bit here.
Things aren't perfect at Chaldea, if ya can't tell from Jeanne Alter's attitude to others and their attitude towards her, Lancelot being… Well a Berserker. But things are going, this story's barely even started its first lap after all!
Next time, prepare to visit the mind of a certain evil genius and a two tailed fox!
