The Darkest Storm 3/3
(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)
(Abigail's POV)
*We were now fighting an all out battle royal to stay alive & get the Sword & Crown of Acorns back from Mogul*
Fiona: Hey, blue! Can we wrap this up!? This is getting tiresome!
Sonic: Sure thing, Fiona. I've never been one to disappoint a lady. *to Sally* Especially present company included.
Sally: Now is not the time, Sonic.
Sonic: Never is. *to Elias* Hey, Elias! Let's go get your family's stuff back!
Elias: Lead the way, Sonic!
*They both charged at Mogul*
Mammoth Mogul: Are you both so eager for death? Come, then and perish!
*He slashed the sword at both of them. Elias ducked under him & Sonic snatched the crown off his head*
Sonic: HA! Game set, match, Mogul!
*He handed the crown back to Elias*
Mogul: Fools! I still hold the sword and with it's power I will take back what is rightfully mine!
Sir Connery: Varlet! I say to thee . . . Nay! I once served the Acorn family, and will never allow them to fall to the likes of you!
Sonic: All right, Sir Connery! Let's do it to it!
Mammoth Mogul: Stay out of this for once in your miserable life, you insufferable wretch!
*He then trapped Sonic in a hand made of stone*
Sonic: Hey! No fair!
*Mogul then faced Sir Connery*
Mammoth Mogul: You are a fool to face me, Connery.
Sir Connery: We shall see who is the fool. *they clashed swords with each other. with every clash, a wave of Chaos energy was sent out* Forgive me, my King. I must destroy half of the Source of All. I am Sir Connery! Paladin of the Ancient Walkers! Bringer of Light and Enemy of Darkness!
Mammoth Mogul: And they chastise me for verbosity . . .
Sir Connery: By the power invested in me by the highest of Powers . . .
Mammoth Mogul: No. No!
*Sonic managed to get free from the stone hand*
Sonic: C'mon Sir Connery! Show him how it's done old-school!
*Sir Connery gave one final blow to Mogul*
Sir Connery: I smite thee!
Mammoth Mogul: NO!
*When the light faded, Mammoth Mogul was unconscious, the Sword of Acorns was destroyed, & all that was left of Sir Connery was his clothes & a pile of ashes*
Sonic: Sir Connery!
Elias: No . . . !
*We all gathered around the remains of Sir Connery*
Merlin: He used his very life to destroy the corrupted half of the Source. He gave everything.
*We turned to the sound of a groan & saw Mogul waking up*
Ixis Naugus: Master?
Mammoth Mogul: Rrgh! This means nothing . . . Nothing!
Sonic:*to Mogul* Nothing!? We lost a life just to take away your toys! That's giving too much!
Mammoth Mogul: This day may be weary with the foil of battle, but it is not over! I still command incredible power!
?:*off-screen* What a coincidence!
*We all looked up & saw a fleet of ships with a big red one in the middle*
Dr. Eggman:*off-screen* So do I. Fire at will! *the ships started firing lasers at all of us. luckily, my friends and I all got away, but Mogul and his army weren't so lucky* Now that they're properly corralled, tag em!
*Suddenly, one by one, the Destructix, Naugus, & Mogel were all hit by laser beams & started to disappear. Luckily, I saw the spider ninjas avoid the & run off into the forest*
Mogul: I . . . Won't . . . Let . . . Won't . . . No . . . No!
*Then he disappeared*
Dr. Eggman:*off-screen* HA!
*Then his ship landed*
Sonic: Wake up, folks! We're on finished!
Dr. Eggman: Relax, hedgehog. I'm not going after you today.
Sonic: Right. Pull the other one, Doc.
Dr. Eggman: I'm being sincere, rodent. Mammoth Mogul and Ixis Naugus were far more a threat to me than you. I've lost a lot today because of them.
Sonic: So you just blasted them? You usually aren't that clean-cut.
Dr. Eggman: On the contrary, Sonic, they've been teleported away using the technology I wasted on Hunter. They're my captives now.
Sonic: What about us then?
*Eggman motioned to his fleet*
Dr. Eggman: What about you, Sonic? Look at my Egg Fleet! I could wipe you off the map! But not yet.
Sonic: No need to be shy. Let's go, Eggman!
Dr. Eggman: I will crush your pity resistance when I want to, rodent! You will meet your end on my terms, mine alone!
Sonic: We'll see about - *he leaped towards the ship, but missed* Hey!
*Eggman laughed as he went up*
Dr. Eggman: Too slow, Sonic! You're all too tired to be worth my effort. *the fleet flew away* Until next time, Sonic!
Sonic: Whenever you're ready, Robotnik!
Abigail: Now that that's all taken care of, it's time for us to take care of a traitor.
Sonic: Right. Lead the way, Abby.
(Freedom HQ)
*We all made our way to Freedom HQ where we saw Snively running back inside the Brain Trust's Lab. We quietly followed him inside*
Dr. Eggman: That took you long enough. Have you decided?
Snively: I have, Uncle. Let's go.
Dr. Eggman: A wise move.
*He was about to press the button on his remote control, when we all burst into the room*
Sonic: Stop right there!
*Snively & Dr. Eggman were so surprise that Dr. Eggman dropped his remote control*
Dr. Eggman:*to Snively* You little snake! You went to tell the Freedom Fighters about my plans, didn't you!?
Snively: No, Uncle! I swear I didn't - !
*While they were distracted, Sonic grabbed the remote control, pointed it at Eggman & teleported him away*
Dr. Eggman: You will pay for this, Snively! Mark my wor -
*And with that Eggman was gone. Snively then let out an "Eep!" as Vector grabbed him by the back of his shirt & Antoine pointed his sword at him. Sonic & Sally stood in front of him*
Sally: I'm very disappointed in you, Snively. We gave you a chance of redemption and this is how you repay us?
Snively: H-How did you even know about this?
Sonic: That's top secret.
*He sent me a wink & I winked back*
Antoine: So, how should we punish zis little rat?
Tails: I say we send him to the Prison & let the Destructix deal with him.
Abigail: Or we could let him go.
*Everyone looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears*
Snively: Y-Yes, I like that idea!
Vector: You be quiet!
Knuckles:*to Abigail* Are you nuts!?
Abigail: No. But Eggman is.
*Everyone caught on to what I was saying immediately & looked at Snively with evil grins. He was sweating & shaking like crazy*
Sally:*taking out her handheld computer* Nicole, do we have any large boxes in storage?
Nicole: I believe so, Sally.
Abigail: I'll go see if Lacey has any red ribbon?
*Charmy & Saffron tied Snively up. We found a box big enough for him to fit in. Then we put him inside & Sally wrote a card that said "To: Dr. Robotnik - From: Your Number One Fans*
Sonic: Well, that should do it.
*Rotor was about to put the lid on the box*
Abigail: Hold on. I have something I'd like to say to our little friend here. *I went up to the box, grapped Snively by the collar of his shirt, & pulled him up to my face* Quick warning, Snively. If I ever see you anywhere near Knothole or New Mobotropolis again, I will personally grind you into paste, got it!?
Snively: G - Got it!
*I dropped him back into box, Rotor closed it, & Sonic personally delivered it to Eggman*
*The next day, we caught Hope just as she was about to leave Knotehole. We told her what happened & the poor girl broke down crying. I gave her a hug & let her cry on my shoulder. We then led her back to Rosie's. Later that day, we were at the Knothole Graveyard, standing around Sir Connery's gravestone*
Elias: I wanted to take back so much of the old Kingdom and so much was taken away in one day.
Sally: Oh, Elias . . .
Merlin: He gave his life defending his Kingdom and his world. For a Paladin, he could receive no greater honor.
Knuckles:*to the gravestone* I owed you my life, Sir Connery. I promise to repay that debt my protecting the world as well.
Elias: How can my Father and I reform a court when one life is too much to ask for our Kingdom?
Sonic: You're kidding, right? Do you think we're just going to cut out the hero stuff just because we lost someone. Sir Connery wouldn't quit if I'd bit it. I won't dishonor his sacrifice by quitting. Are you going to quit the Kingdom Sir Connery died to save?
*After a few moments, Elias raised the Sword of Light over his head*
Elias: No. His sacrifice will not be in vain. The Kingdom of Knothole and New Mobotropois will be valiant as he was. I will try to be as brave. And his sword will be passed down the Acorn line. A symbol of our commitment and a testament to his bravery!
Sonic: For someone who avoided royal life for do long, you sure got the speech-making down. Good one, Prince.
Elias: Heh. Thank you, Sonic.
Sally: Come on, brother. Let's get you some rest.
Elias: There's no rest for royalty, Sally. I promise to sit down for a minute though.
Sonic: So, who's up for Chuck's?
*Then Merlin turned to me*
Merlin: Before I forget, Miss Abigail, may I see your necklace? *I was a little surprised by that question, but I took off my necklace & gave it to him. he held it in his hand for a few seconds. he then got a serious look on his face & handed me back my necklace* Thank you. I'll be by your house tomorrow to discuss a few things with your Mother.
*He walked towards the village. I just stood there, feeling confused*
