Life As A Chaldean Master
Trustworthy
*Chaldea Halls*
Chaldea has the busiest day they have ever had in a while. Despite the busyness inside Chaldea, everything seems to be running smoothly without distractions. Many workers have been working around the clock to keep track of their work routines and to keep Chaldea up and running. A Few Servants were also helping out the workers as much as possible with the permission of Sonic, even though he said they didn't need to tell him. Sonic also was one of the few that was helping out the Chaldean workers as well. Even though Da Vinci notified him that he didn't need to help, he still couldn't just stand by and see others do the work without his help. They decided to help out as well. Thanks to Sonic's speed, everything moved along faster than ever before. The workers praised Sonic for his fantastic help, but it was just another typical day for the Blue Blur.
"*Running Down The Halls* Hmmm... I wonder if Gudako and Gudao need my help moving those boxes around. Maybe I should go and ask them. They could need some extra hands." Sonic commented
Sonic continues running down the halls toward Da Vinci's workshop to check up on her. As he continues running, he notices Gorgon in the middle of the galleries, not noticing him coming towards her and blocking his path. He quickly skids on the floor, trying to stop himself but bumps into her, bouncing off her, which catches the attention of Gorgon, who turns and faces Sonic.
"Jeez! I'm so sorry for that, Gorgon! I didn't mean to bump into you like that! I couldn't stop myself in time from running, which caused me to hit you!" Sonic apologizing
"Well, hello there, Master. I didn't expect to see you today. You don't need to apologize for anything. I know it isn't easy to stop on time when you can dash. I should know that about you since you have been my Master's for a while. It's been that long since you summoned me, huh? *Patting Sonic's Head.*" Gorgon replied
"It sure was, Gorgon! Glad that you pretty much know about me and my daily routines as a Hedgehog. At least I can say the same thing to you as well." Sonic said
"I usually refrain from telling more about myself to humans. I even kept things to myself and not saying them to my sisters. But since you aren't a human or my sisters, I won't mind telling you more about me." Gorgon said
"Glad that I am one of few who can learn more about you," Sonic commented
"So, Master, what's the reason for bumping into me in the first place? Is that a way to get my attention? You don't have to worry. I can still hear you from here. Even if you're as tiny as you are." Gorgon said
"*Rubbing Back* Uhhhh... It's nothing like that, Gorgon. I was making my way toward Da Vinci's workshop, where she, Gudao, and Gudao are currently at. I was going to see if they wanted my help moving some stuff around." Sonic replies
"Is that so? Well, I'm not that suprise by that fact. With your speed, I always see you helping these human workers as much as possible. Even the kids here also like helping around as well. It brings a smile knowing that you and the kids always enjoy doing this." Gorgon said
"I don't force the kids to help me in any way. They tag along since they always like talking to others outside their group. Jack, Rhyme, Jeanne, Chole, and the others like spending time and overall having a good time." Sonic replies
"As long as they are happy, then I'm happy. I wish it were as easy to interact with humans as the kids do every time. It seems easy yet difficult to do so." Gorgon said
"Hey, don't bring yourself down, Gorgon. You can also tag along with me and help the workers out here. I'm sure everyone will love an extra hand here during this time." Sonic cheering Gorgon up
"I appreciate you trying to make this thing positive, Master. But... you should know that I cannot be seen as trustworthy around humans. Just because I am on the side of humans doesn't mean I am fully siding with them. I am still one of many monsters with a reputation against these humans. So it isn't in my image to help them one bit." Gorgon said
"Hey, don't continue knocking yourself into the dirt, Gorgon. Just because you're known as someone who devours humans or turns them into stone doesn't mean you can't change for the better. Deep inside you, you want to switch to someone better, which is something more than anything I want from you, Gorgon. I know you can help out others; I know you do." Sonic replies
"I'm sorry... I don't think I have the will to change to something better. I understand where you're coming from. But it's easier said than done. Master... you have more knowledge about that than I will ever have." Gorgon said
"You can't say something is impossible if you go for it, Gorgon. I may not be human, but that doesn't stop me from going out of my way and helping others. It rubs me the wrong way that you're giving up at such an early stage if you've never experienced something different before." Sonic countered
"Master... I don't understand how you can see someone like me change. I can't find why a human trusts someone like me to protect them." Gorgon said
"You may tell yourself that you're a monster, but you're different Gorgon! I see you differently than others think. And that was always the case before and after I summoned you. Which is why I have an idea that will switch up your personality." Sonic said
"An idea? What is it your idea that you have in mind, Master?" Gorgon asks
"My world, Gorgon. My world is home to creatures and humans sharing the same land. No matter who or what is different, we all live harmoniously. Which both of us would fit perfectly together. I don't see Anyone from my world eyeing you." Sonic replied
"A world where humans and beasts of all kinds live together. It sounds interesting now that I think about it. But still, would I even be accepted as you in your world?" Gorgon worried
"Don't worry, Gorgon. This world will be happy to invite you with open arms. This is why we will make our way to my world tomorrow morning. It's time to come out of your bubble and experience something new. Don't worry; I promise it will be worth it in the end, and everyone will enjoy having both here and there. So? Are you willing to go with me tomorrow to my world?" Sonic asks
"*Thinking To Herself Before Coming Up With An Answer* Yes, I will go with you to your world, Sonic. If you wish me to change for the better, I will gladly do so for you, Master. *Smiling*" Gorgon accepting
"*Smiles* Alright, that's what I'm talking about! Don't worry. You'll soon realize that you're welcome once you get to meet my friends. I have no doubt they'll like meeting someone like you! We will head out to the Command Room first thing in the morning. I'll be waiting for you there." Sonic said
"I won't lie. I always wondered how your world differs from here. I especially am curious about your friends as well." Gorgon commented
*The Next Day, Sonic's World*
The next day arrives, and Sonic and Gorgon teleport their way to Sonic's world using the teleporter inside the Command Room back in Chaldea. After entering the portal, Sonic and Gorgon eventually arrive in the middle of an open field where the trees are blowing, flowers are dancing, little animals are peacefully doing their routines, and the clear blue skies are overhead. It was almost something Gorgon had never experienced anything like this before. All Gorgon could do was look around her surroundings, the peacefulness of this land that is Sonic's world or home where he grew up and became what he is today.
"*Looking Around Her Surroundings* Dear lord, Master... Is this your world? I... I never thought it'd look like this. I repeatedly heard from other Servants who visited this place that it was by far the most beautiful place they had ever visited. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I'm here... I can safely say that my thoughts were completely wrong. This place is very calm and peaceful..." Gorgon suprise
"I'm glad you're enjoying your visit here, Gorgon. But this isn't all that my world has to offer! Other locations here are just as peaceful and fantastic to visit. Everywhere I go, my home! Sleeping under the stars is my preferred thing to sleeping inside. I promise it's not as bad as you think." Sonic replied
"If it's coming from you, then I won't judge you on how your sleep routine is. Especially if you're trying to stop those three from watching you sleep every night." Gorgon said
"I don't get how Raikou, Kiyohime, and Serenity haven't given up on that yet. Each time I tell them to stop watching me sleep, they always come the next night. It's still a daily occurrence. I don't know, but I'll tackle that some other time. Right now, we're here for a mission. And that mission is to get you comfortable around humans. It's time that you come out of your comfort zone Gorgon!" Sonic said
"But where are the humans, Master? All I see are trees and grass in my vision, only around me... Are you sure there are humans here?" Gorgon asks
"Trust me, there is... We just happened to teleport to a location outside civilization. When I tell you that we are close, Then I mean it. But now, all we have to do is-" Sonic is getting cut off.
"What's the matter, Master? Did you hear something? Are enemies heading our way?" Gorgon said
"No, but the sounds of it. It sounds like an engine roaring from a distance. Which can only mean..."
Soon, Sonic and Gorgon hear noises coming from the distance in which. Sonic turns around and notices a plane flying closer to them. Sonic squints his eyes and sees a familiar plane color scheme flying in front of him and slowly flying down at a low altitude. Sonic then realizes who it is and smirks as he waves his hand toward the plane. The plane continues to pass at a low height for a few moments until it slowly lands on the grass before coming to a complete stop as the propellors in front of the plane entirely stop. Soon after, the polite of the helicopter jumps off the plane and stretches, who happens to be a Yellow Fox with two tails behind him. It was none other than Sonic's best friend, Tails the Fox.
"*Stretching* I knew I should've filled the fuel before using the Tornado... But I got a little stubborn and decided to go half-empty... Oh well... At least I brought a different fuel to take for the Tornado." Tails said
"Who is that, Sonic?" Gorgon said
"That right there is one of my best friends from this world. Tails... Tails The Fox." Sonic replied
"Tails The Fox... You told me about him and how you two are long-time friends." Gorgon said
"That's correct! I can't wait to see you two finally meet in person. *Whites Towards Tails* Hey buddy! Need a hand?" Sonic shouted
"*Hears A Voice* Huh? Who's there? *Look's Around But Doesn't Find Anyone* What the? I could've sworn I heard someone's voice. A voice that sounded very familiar to..."
"Whoa there, Tails. No need to play 20 questions here. I'm right in front of you." Sonic replied
"*Look's In Front Of Him And Spots Sonic, Only To Fall Back From Pure Shock* Whoa! Sonic! W-What are you doing here?! You never told me that you were coming back here. I never received any message from Chaldea that you were coming!" Tails suprise
"Sorry about that, bud; this was a last-minute idea to come back home. Honestly, I didn't think I would come back today. Let alone anytime this week. But here I am now. Back home with another one of my friends from Chaldea." Sonic said
"I'm not too suprise with the second part of that sentence, bringing another one of those Servants from that world into ours. Everyone I have met before is the kindest person I could ever be friends with. Sure, many look deadly, but they are good at protecting their Master. Just like you, Sonic. It still interested me how the Master-Servant thing works over there. Weirdly, many of those so-called Masters from that world always use Servants as an object to let them do their job. Let alone put their own lives at risk." Tails commented
"Honestly, I think differently regarding the Master-Servant relationship thing. I usually prefer calling everyone my friends instead of just Servants. There's just no point for me in commanding someone to risk their lives for themselves. I'll join instead of standing back if that is the case." Sonic replied
"I like the way you think, Sonic. But sometimes, you need not push yourself all that very often. It could seriously hit you sooner or later." Tails said
"Oh, come on, buddy, where's the fun in that? You know I like doing things outside my comfort zone, right?" Sonic replied
"I can't argue with that with you, Sonic. *Reaches For Sonic's Hand And Stand's Back Up* Now that you're here again, who is this new friend you brought this time around? What kind of "Class" Servant is it this time?" Tails said
"Well, if you look above me. It'll give you a pretty good idea of who it is." Sonic replies
Tails look above Sonic, looking up more and more and noticing a giant woman standing behind Sonic, looking down at him with snake hairs. He stood motionless while looking up at the big woman, who soon began to speak.
"Hello there. No need to be afraid of me. I come at peace, and my Master is here to watch over me if I do something terrible. It's a pleasure to meet you. My True Name is Gorgon. The one who devours humans in Chaldea's Human History." Gorgon Introducing herself to Tails
"*Suprise* Sonic... A-Are you sure this giant snake hair lady is one of your friends from Chaldea? This isn't some trap that you brought me into, right?" Tails confuse
"Of course, she's from Chaldea, Tails. This right here is one of my best friends, Gorgon. We have known each other for quite a while. At first, we had a rocky relationship, but now she's an amazing partner and friend! Isn't that right, Gorgon?" Sonic said
"It sure is, Sonic. We may have been enemies at first, but as they say. Things change. And I'm glad that came to be."
"*Thinking For A Moment Before Sighing In Relief* Sigh... I know I shouldn't be suprise by the number of friends you make who were once your enemies—but befriending someone as big as this is surprising indeed. Anyway, *Looks Up At Gorgon* Your name is Gorgon, correct? Well, it's nice to meet you, Gorgon! I'm Tails the Fox. A long-time friend of Sonic's and someone who likes to invent things for fun! I hope you pardon my rude behavior just a moment ago. I hope we can become good friends as well!" Tails introduce himself to Gorgon
"Dear me, Sonic. Everywhere you go, it seems that your positivity always follows you. To think that you have caring friends all around is quite impressive. I wish it were that easy to get along with others like that." Gorgon commented
"What do you mean by that, Mrs. Gorgon?" Tails questions
"*Blushing* D-Did he calls me Mrs. Gorgon? *Smiles* Now that brings a smile onto my face." Gorgon thought
"I'm glad you ask, Tails. I know you have a big question you want to ask us, which is why we are even here in the first place. You see, Gorgon and I are here for a special mission, which I'm bringing up to get Gorgon comfortable around humans like us. You see, Gorgon isn't fond of being around humans, and it's a problem that I couldn't look away from. I'm here to show her that she can be trustworthy around humans despite having some history I wish not to get into." Sonic quickly explained
"Is that so, huh? Based on what I heard, Gorgon isn't comfortable around humans, and you're here to change that for her? I see... so this is what it is about? I mean, If you're doing this to help Gorgon. Then I'll tag along as well and help her out as well. Is that alright with you, Sonic? I want her to be happy and learn new things that we Mobians know!" Tails said
"Sure thing you can tag along with us, Tails! It's always better to have an extra hand around! Especially for Gorgon! Not in a mean way, of course. Well, you know where I'm coming from..." Sonic accepted
"Hey, Mrs. Gorgon, tell me, what is it that you don't get along with humans in the first place? There has to be a reason why you don't get along in the first place, right?" Tails ask
"In Chaldea's Human History, I am known as a monster who devours humans and causes pain to those weak beings alongside my sisters. I am a threat to Humanity and its living beings. When I say it, I mean it. I caused destruction everywhere I went. I even caused harm to Sonic in the past before. I am what who can't be trusted. It happens despite my efforts to stop myself from doing the unthinkable." Gorgon said
"Known for devouring humans and causing massive destruction... Hmmm... If I'm being truthful here, you don't seem that threatening, Gorgon." Tails replies
"Excuse me? What do you mean that I'm not threatening as I put myself in..." Gorgon said
"You may be a monster in Chaldea's world, but you are like Sonic and me here. Creatures roaming around this planet co-exist with humans as well. It's been like that for many years now. I can guarantee you that you won't be seen as someone who can be considered dangerous. This gives me an idea, how about we take Gorgon to Station Square to introduce her to everyone living there? Sounds pretty easy, right?" Tails said
"I like the way you think, buddy! However, there is one drawback to that idea. Gorgon is taller than all the buildings standing in Station Square right now. She will be easily spotted miles away if we bring her there without a heads-up." Sonic countered
"I understand where you are coming from, Master. It's a terrible idea to barge into the City and expect me to get a proper greeting like you two." Gorgon said
Sonic and Tails were thinking about introducing Gorgon to Station Square without starting any chaos until Tails Miles Electric began ringing, signifying an incoming call. Tails grab the Miles Electric from inside the Tornado and see that Amy calls him before he answers. Before Tails can say hello, sounds of explosion can be heard from the other side as yells of people can also be attended. Sonic, Gorgon, and Tails looked at each other, confused about the whole situation.
"Amy?! What's going on? Is everything okay?! What's wrong?" Tails said
"Tails, this is an emergency! Dr. Eggman is currently attacking Station Square as we speak! I repeat, Dr. Eggman is currently attacking Station Square!" Amy shouted
"Eggman! Out of all possible times to start attacking us, he does it when Sonic is here?! What kind of machine is he using?" Tails ask
"Dr. Eggman... I heard of that name multiple times before around Chaldea. One of Sonic's ultimate and long-time rivals. To think he is causing mayhem in your world is not to be overlooked." Gorgon said
"The Death Egg Robot, but not just Death Egg Robot he has before! It's a modified version tall as the tallest building in Station Square! And did you say that Sonic is here? Where is he? Is he there with you? Perfect timing! Sonic, if you're hearing this, Knuckles and I are being overpowered by Eggman and his army of stupid robots! But we're giving it our all to push him back!" Amy said
"Don't worry, Amy, I'll be there shortly! But why am I not surprised by that news? Eggman using a modified Death Egg Robot and his army of junk to cause mayhem is a typical day for me. *Silent For A Moment Before Having A Brilliant Idea* Wait a minute, that gives me an idea! Hehehe! A perfect idea, to be exact!" Sonic said
"What do you have in mind?" Tails said
"We take Gorgon to Station Square, as mentioned before, but she will help us take down Eggman and his trash robots roaming around the City! That way, once the people living in the City see her fighting against Dr. Eggman. They treat her as the rest of us!" Sonic explained
"Now that's a plan I can get behind! Great thinking, Sonic! What do you think about that, Gorgon?" Tails said
"Not a bad idea, little Tails. I always wanted to meet this Eggman person and give him a taste of his pain in hurting creatures like you two. I think it's time for me to introduce myself to him." Gorgon replies
"That's the spirit, Gorgon! And what are we waiting for now? Come on, let's roll!" Sonic said
"Let me fuel up the tank for the Tornado, and I will be off!" Tails said
*Several Minutes Later, Station Square*
Heading towards Station Square, the City was in complete chaos as Dr. Eggman and his army of Badnicks were invading the City. Buildings were being destroyed; cars were thrown around, and civilians were running for their lives as Badnicks fired at them or the modified Death Egg Robot, firing beams and bombs across the City, causing devastating damage. What was supposed to be a peaceful day turned into complete chaos.
"*Controlling The Death Egg Robot Over The City* Mwa-Hahahaha! Finally, after a long time of planning, obtaining pieces from previously made robots, and building it from top to bottom! To all you people, I give you the Death Egg Robot 3.0! Created from the toughest of parts I can find in my arsenal! With this Robot, the plans of world domination will become a reality! Not only that, but your hero, whom you call Sonic, isn't here to save you this time! Hohohohoho, today is a lucky day for Dr. Eggman! All bad nicks, continue clearing the streets from people so we can start building our topology!" Dr. Eggman commanded
The Badnicks followed Dr. Eggman as they increased their violent attacks against Station Square, causing vast amounts of damage across the City. Not too far from the Death Egg Robot, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream were fighting off the Badnicks and destroying them as much as possible. Knuckles punches his way through several Badnicks while Amy swings her Pico Pico Hammer, crushing them while protecting Cream. However, as more Badnicks appeared around them, the two started to lose momentum and began to be outnumbered by the Badnicks. All they could hope for was waiting for Sonic and Tails to arrive so they could all devise a plan.
"*Rips Off A Head Of A Badnick And Throws It Right Into A Group, Eploding* Dammit! It seems like Eggman isn't pulling any punches time! Amy, how Cream!?" Knuckles shouted
"*Slams Her Hammer Down At A Badnick Exploding Soon After* Don't worry, she's still fine! But I don't know how long I can keep pushing back these robots before being outnumbered. Even the Station Square Police are starting to become overwhelmed as well! I hope Sonic brought some of his friends from that other world to help us in this situation." Amy said
"A-Amy... Please don't give up; I know you can do this! Sonic has said many times that you're someone who doesn't back down from a fight! If what he says is true! Then I'll believe it!" Cream said
"Thanks, Cream. I know I'm doing my best to help out. And I'm not giving up until the very end!" Amy replies
"Yeah, I hope Sonic brought some more powerful Servants with him here. We could use an extra hand right now." Knuckles said
Knuckles and Amy continue to fight against the army of invading Badnicks, trying to attack, and for the next few minutes, many more bad nicks are destroyed, and piles of metal are around on the ground. But as more are destroyed, new nasty dents enter the streets to cause chaos at Station Square. As if things couldn't get any worse, Dr. Eggman locates the three of them, looking at the Modified Death Egg Robot and staring at them.
"Mrs. Amy and Mr. Knuckles, Dr. Eggman has located us!" Cream shouted
"Well, well, what do we have here? If it isn't Knuckles, Amy, and Cream the Rabbit. I'm impressed that you three could survive this long in something like this. I have nothing but respect for you." Dr. Eggman said
"Shoot! It's bad enough that we have these annoying Badnicks we have to deal with. But for this to show up and find us!? *Slams Her Hammer Down At Another Badnick*" Amy annoyed
"I'll take it from here, Amy! You take Cream into a safe area where no Badnick could track you or Cream!" Knuckles commanded
"You're crazy if you think you can take out something that big and durable like that! This isn't any other creation that Eggman has built before!" Amy shouted
"I need to distract him as much as possible until Sonic and Tails arrive! They should be here any minute now! Just go and take Cream somewhere safe! Even better, Tails can pick you two up and escape here! That seems more reasonable." Knuckles said
"Hmph, fine. Don't come yelling at me when you get your tail kicked by the Robot. *Grabs Cream's Arm And Begins To Run* Come on Cream! Let's go somewhere safe where no one can hurt you!" Amy said
"Please don't hurt yourself, Knuckles!' Cream said
"Don't worry; I'll try not to. *Turns To Look Back At The Death Egg Robot* GRRRRHHH! Eggman! Just when we thought we took you down for good, you come back and cause even more harm to everyone else! Don't you think that dumb machine of yours can get away this time? I'll destroy it with my fists if I have to!" Knuckles shouted
"Quite the talk there, Knuckles, my old pal. But with the new Death Egg Robot, not even your fists or boulders could leave a dent in this! However, I will allow you to strike first. Don't believe me here; I'll move away from the controls!" Dr. Eggman said
"*Getting Angry* Don't you start playing around with me! I'll make you pay for this!" Knuckles shouted
Knuckles dashes toward the Death Egg Robot while punching away several Badnicks in front of him; he then picks up a boulder from the ground, jumps right at the Death Egg Robot, and slams it down at it soon after. Despite slamming it down on the Robot and creating a crater underneath it, Knuckles soon realizes that the Death Egg Robot manages to catch the Boulder, pulls it away from Knuckles, and crushes it soon after. Knuckles couldn't believe that the Robot managed to stop the attack, which only made him even angrier, and began to throw a barrage of punches at the glass where Dr. Eggman was behind. Dr. Eggman watches as Knuckles attempts to shatter the glass, but it is unaffected. Eggman then controls the Robot as the hand grabs Kncukles, crushing and squeezing him tightly for several seconds until he throws him towards a building, hitting it and injuring Knuckles before falling on the ground in which. Amy and Cream were shocked to see Kncukles leave no hits behind.
"Hohohohohoho! I tried to warn you, Knuckles. But you couldn't listen to my instructions." Eggman mocking Knuckles
"*Injured And Slowly Getting Up* Tch... Just... How... Powerful is this thing? E-Eggman! Do not think that I am backing down from this fight!" Knuckles shouted
"Now then, now that you had your fun. Now it's my turn for a counterattack! Prepare to die, Knuckles!"
Knuckles watches as the Death Egg Robot begins to charge up a powerful blue beam attack, aiming toward him. Knuckles tried to get up, but the injuries stopped him from moving away from the direction of the upcoming episode. Amy shouted at Knuckles as he continued to try to stand back up.
"T-This won't be my resting place! I-I have to continue going forward!" Knuckles struggling
"KNUCKLES!" Amy and Cream shouted
"Say goodnight, Knuckles!" Eggman shouted
Just when the Death Egg Robot was about to fire the powerful beam toward Kncukles to finish him off, in an instance, several long and large Purple Snakes suddenly zoomed passed Knuckles and headed straight toward the Death Egg Robot. The Purple Snakes begin to tangle around the Robot tightly, forcing it to look up and fire the beam straight into the sky instead. Knuckles, Amy, Cream, and the Civilians from a distance stared at the beam shooting straight up, not knowing what was going on or what those giant snakes were appearing out of nowhere. The energy beam fires for several moments until it dies, leaving everyone and Eggman shocked and confused.
"What the..." Knuckles whispers
"W-What was that? D-Did you see that, Amy? What were those purple things that came flying so suddenly?" Cream asks
"I-I don't know. I have no idea where those purple creatures came from. Or have any idea who's behind this... Not only that, but it also attacked Eggman instead of us. What in the world is going on?" Amy questions
"*Trying To Move The Death Egg Robot But The Controls Were Stuck* What's going on?! Why aren't the controls working all of a sudden? Who is doing this?!" Eggman confuse
Not knowing what was going on, Dr. Eggman tried to move the Death Egg Robot, but the controls were suddenly stuck. He tries to move the Robot until he realizes something through the glass in front of him. A giant purple Snake with a Blood-color mouth was staring at him through the glass, mouth wide open and having the desire to eat him and crush him as a snack.
"*Face To Face With A Giant Snake* What the?! A Giant Snake?! Where did that come from?! I've never seen anything like that before! *Sees A Few More Purple Snakes Appear Behind The First One* T-Theres more?!" Dr. Eggman shock
Moments later, Eggman forces them to move the controls as the Death Egg Robot frees itself from the grasp of the Purple Snakes. However, the snakes weren't done yet as one of them lunged towards the Robot and violently bit down the Robot's right arm, causing damage to it soon after with sparks flying out of the right arm.
"What the?! Does it manage to damage the Robot's hand?! That's impossible!" Dr. Eggman shouted
Knuckles, holding his right arm, watches as the Snakes dominate the Death Egg Robot, flinging it around like it is nothing. Suddenly, several smaller Snakes appear as they destroy the deployed Badnicks around Knuckles, biting off their heads and spitting out the pieces soon after. Another snake bites the left arm soon after and two-bite both legs of the Robot as the four snakes crush parts of the Death Egg Robot, destroying it to get inside the Robot quickly and chew down on Eggman. Everyone couldn't believe what was going on with the Snakes against Eggman; even the deployed Badnicks stared at the incident. Knuckles was even left with more questions than answers; why was this happening, and why were they doing it?
"W-Who is doing all of this? Where did these snakes come from? Are they from unknown origins... Or... Is it?..."
Suddenly, another Snake zooms by him as Knuckles stares at it, heading towards Dr. Eggman. However, he notices somebody standing on top of this Snake this time. Knuckles stares at this individual for a few moments until he realizes who it is; it is Sonic The Hedgehog, standing on top of the Snake and heading towards the Death Egg Robot.
"SONIC?!" Knuckles suprise
"What the?! Is that Sonic?! Standing on top of a giant snake's head?!" Amy shock
"Yay! Mr. Sonic is here to save us! Please save the day, Mr. Sonic!" Cream cheers
"If Sonic is already here. Then where, Tails?" Amy asks
Amy looks up and spots Tails flying above her with the Tornado, who happens to see her and waves before pointing behind him. Amy was confused by what Tails was saying until Cream pulled her clothes to get her attention.
"A-Amy... Look over there... Is that a Giant woman?" Cream said
Amy looks in that direction and sees what Cream is talking about, with her pupils shrinking and eyes wide open, shocked to see something she had never seen before. Back with Sonic, once he and the Snake he was standing on get closer to the Death Egg Robot, he jumps off from the Snake, curls into a ball, and performs a homing attack directly at the Death Egg Robot, but as Knuckles before, the homing attack didn't affect the Death Egg Robot a bit. However, Sonic had a better idea as he continued homing, attacking the Death Egg Robot several times, pushing it back while the four snakes continued to bite and crush the arms and legs away from the Death Egg Robot. Sonic continued homing attacking until. Finally, the snakes ripped out the arms and portions of the Robot. Sonic gets out of the way for the last Snake to attack the Death Egg Robot, violently crushing it directly at it's body and breaking a giant chunk off the Robot, revealing Eggman inside before tangling itself around the destroyed Robot, raising it into the air and slams on the ground soon after. Knuckles watched as Sonic and the giants were able to take down the Death Egg Robot like it was nothing. Sonic thanked the five snakes around him and rubbed their chins before they all looked at Knuckles.
"*Lands On The Ground* Heh! So much for modifying that thing. But no matter how much you build. There is always something that can destroy it, Egghead!" Sonic said
Sonic watches as everyone begins to cheer for him and the snakes for saving the day again from Dr. Eggman; he waves back to them and thanks them for their efforts. Sonic then notices Knuckles and runs up to him.
"Hey, Knuckles! Long time no see. I see you were saving some time for me and Tails to arrive. I'll give you my thanks for that! That goes for you two as well, Amy and Cream! I'm glad all three of you are alright!" Sonic said
"You did take your sweet time to arrive. But I'm glad you'll right now. However, I'll give you my thanks later. Right now, I want some answers from you. First of all, what the heck just happened?! And what were those Flying purple Snakes that appeared out of nowhere?! I saw you standing on top of one like it was no business! Did you begin taming animals as well while we weren't looking?!" Knuckles confused
"*Giggles* Oh, Knuckles, sometimes you make me laugh! Trust me, you do. However, to answer your question, I haven't tamed anything. And also, you just saw the help of our good friend behind you right now. *Looks Behind Knuckles*" Sonic replies
"Knuckles! Turn around, look!" Amy shouted
Knuckles is confused by Sonic's antics but still turns around and notices something unexpected bigger than the tallest building in Station Square. He saw a big purple hair Snake Woman standing above Station Square, several Snake hairs around her and enormous wings slowly opening, looking down at the City. Knuckles, Amy, Cream, and the civilians all looked in awe; none of them began to scream from the shock of this giant woman standing over them, looking down at them. All they could do was utter a few words but not anything else.
"Ummm... Sonic, who is that... I-Is she one of your friends back from that other world you spend most of your time at..." Knuckles said
"That is correct, Knuckles! That person right there is my best friend, Gorgon! The youngest of her two other sisters. She is... No, WAS... a threat to Humanity. But this time, she is on our side." Sonic replies
"*Looking Down At The City* Do NOT fear me, humans... I know this isn't something you're used to seeing, but you have to understand... I am not here to harm any living being... I am here to help you deal with a current situation regarding this Eggman induvial. My Master, Sonic The Hedgehog, is watching me. If I ever do step over what I said just now, my Master is the one who can settle me down from causing more harm." Gorgon announced
After hearing what Gorgon said, the civilians returned to reality as they looked at one another, not knowing what to make of Gorgon, a threat to Humanity wanting to help them settle the situation with Eggman. As seconds pass by, they eventually figure out what's going on as they slowly begin to regain consciousness and cheer for Gorgon, who wants to help them take down Eggman.
"What is even going on, Sonic? What's the meaning of this?" Knuckles said
"To keep it short, I'm trying to help Gorgon come out of her bubble and have her be settled around humans. She doesn't think it's worth it to help them without thinking of her past actions, but I'm telling her everything will be alright, and there is nothing wrong with changing your ways." Sonic replies
"I see... So even giant beasts have their problems to deal with inside, huh? Well, I guess we're somewhat alike..." Knuckles commented
"That's what I like to hear from you, Gorgon! You're already doing better than I expected! I'm proud of you!" Sonic shouted
"I appreciate such kind words, Master! However, our fight has just begun." Gorgon replies
"Wait, what?"
"*Exits From The Modified Death Egg Robot With The Egg Mobile* Hehehehe! I'm glad that you happen to see it, my buddy Tails! We have an old friend joining the party! This Modified Death Egg was just a fluke as a distraction to bring out my ultimate weapon!" Dr. Eggman said
"*Looks Up* Sonic, look!" Knuckles shouted
Sonic turns, looks up and notices a familiar enemy floating in front of him, the Egg Dragoon. Floating in front of him, wholly rebuilt and fixed from their last previous battle. The Cilicians also begin to run for their lives from the Egg Dragoon.
"Well, I guess you brought one of your old toys again, Eggman? Let me guess; you ran out of ideas to take control of this world." Sonic said
"Oh no, Sonic, this isn't the same as the previous ultra-hyper-Prototype-1. This is now the ultra-hyper-Prototype-2! With this second Prototype, its arsenal has changed, its material toughens up, and most importantly, it's deadlier than ever! All created for you, little Hedgehog!" Dr. Eggman replies
"Sounds boring if you ask me. I would've cared about this if my best friend Gorgon wasn't around to throw you around." Sonic said
"Don't get confident now, Hedgehog. This thing isn't going down without a fight! I will take down both you and that giant Snake hair lady!" Dr. Eggman threatens
Eggman enters the Egg Dragoon 2 soon after and activates it, ready to fight against Sonic and Gorgon. Sonic smirks as he prepares himself to take on the Egg Dragoon again, without in his Werehog form.
"Are you ready, Gorgon?! It's time to show everyone how we roll!" Sonic shouted
"It is time to take out such vile trash, Master!" Gorgon replies
"Care for some assistants, Sonic? I could use this time to take out some stress!" Knuckles said
"That will be much appreciated, but Gorgon and I will handle Eggman. I want you, Tails, Amy, and Cream to take care of the Badnicks around the City. Those guys aren't going down without a fight!" Sonic replies
"Hmph, I thought you'll say that. Now that you say that, where are Amy and Cream?" Knuckles questions
"*From A Distance* You heard, Sonic, Knuckles! We must take care of those stupid machines spreading chaos around the City!" Amy shouted
"*Looks And Spots Amy Inside The Tornado With Tails And Cream* Guys! I'm glad you three are safe! How did you land with no problem, Tails?" Knuckles suprise
"We can talk about that later! We need to get going! Let Sonic and Gorgon take care of Eggman!" Tails shouted
"Yeah, Mr. Knuckles, it's too dangerous to be around Dr. Eggman," Cream said
"Don't worry, Knuckles, Gorgon and I will be fine," Sonic commented
"*Silent For A Moment Before Speaking* Alright then, I'll be leaving. Just try not to get killed again, please. *Runs Towards The Direction Of The Tornado*."
"Where's the fun in that?" Sonic replies
Once Knuckles and the rest fly somewhere else around Station Square, Sonic then focuses on Dr. Eggman the Egg Dragoon.
"Alright, Egghead, let's settle this!" Sonic said
"With pleasure!"
Moments later, The Egg Dragoon looks directly at Gorgon, aiming its giant right-arm canon, charging it up before firing several missiles toward her. Sonic watched as the rockets made their way toward her quickly. Seeing the missiles getting closer, Gorgon uses her Snakes to fire dark energy beams at the oncoming missiles. The rays destroyed several rockets heading towards her quickly, exploding on impact. Eggman wasn't done yet as he continued firing more missiles toward Gorgon. In return, Gorgon continued destroying the oncoming as well. Tails and the others watch from above, Gorgon killing many of the rockets. Despite taking down many of the missiles, she missed a couple of the rockets, ones that she didn't see in time, and all hit her body in different directions. They were exploding around her and stunning her. She groans as a couple more explode around her and hit the snakes.
Sonic, seeing Eggman attacking his friend, wasn't happy about this. As he gets mad, he dashes toward the Egg Dragoon, jumps right at it, and performs a Loop Kick directly at the Egg Dragoon, disrupting it from attacking Gorgon and being knocked back a little. Sonic then performs a Spin-Slash attack around the Egg Dragoon, dealing good damage around it before finishing it off with a Cross-Slash attack, releasing a stream of shockwaves toward Eggman. Eggman notices the shockwaves heading towards him as the Egg Dragoon blocks the oncoming shockwaves with it's arm-cannon before blowing them away. Soon after, The Egg Dragoon aims its Drill Arm at Sonic and fires it upon him quickly. Sonic dodges it speedily but doesn't see the Egg Dragoon as he gets hit by it's Arm-Canon hand, sending him flying toward a building wall, smashing it painfully hard before going through it and making a substantial open hole soon after. Gorgon watched as her Master was thrown into a building painfully, which made her more pissed then ever before.
Eggman laughs upon this fire inside the building Sonic went through, trying to hit Sonic. Sonic, though injured from that hit, quickly gets up from the ground and runs around the building, dodging the bullets that Eggman was shooting at him from outside. As the Egg Dragoon continues to shoot at Sonic, the more he hits the structure, which gives it more damage. It was inventive. The building was going to collapse very soon. Outside, Gorgon watches the Egg Dragoon firing at the facility where Sonic was inside, seeing that construction was taking tons of damage, leaving it unable to collapse with Sonic inside at any moment. She wouldn't let this happen as Gorgon prepared for another attack. Her eyes quickly glow purples and look at the Egg Dragoon before firing a quick beam toward it, hitting it and disrupting it's current battle with Sonic. The Egg Dragoon regains momentum and looks back at Gorgon, who fires another beam at it again. This time, the Egg Dragoon blocks the incoming beam, exploding on its arm before aiming its cannon directly at Gorgon. However, instead of firing missiles, The Egg Dragoon fires a ball of ice at Gorgon. Seeing this oncoming ball of ice heading towards her, Gorgon prepares for an attack to counter it as all the snakes around begin charging up purple balls for a few moments before they all unleash beams directly at the ice ball. Once the beams connected with the ball, the ice ball began to shatter slowly from the force of the shaft before finally breaking and splitting into smaller pieces as they fell at the City underneath it. Dr. Eggman was impressed that Gorgon could take down his armory pretty easily but wasn't done yet as he was preparing for an ultimate attack that Gorgon surely won't be able to dodge.
"I have to say, giant snake lady. I'm quite impressed that you can keep up with my creation. Considering that this is the first time we meet each other in person." Dr. Eggman said
"It may be the first time we meet in person. But I'm not here to make friends with humans who have been hurting my Master ever since he was a little kid. Those who have been hurting him will soon be punished and disappear forever. Not only that, but you're causing too much pain for these innocent humans for your gain. That is something my Master taught me. Words can't describe how much those meant for Sonic. He wants to make the world a better place where creatures and humans live harmoniously. I couldn't experience something like that with my two sisters before. But with Sonic, that dream of peace may come sooner then before." Gorgon replies
"Is that so? Even that little Hedgehog himself could subdue someone like you, huh? I'll give credit for doing such a task... BUT THAT WON'T CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THIS! BEFORE TO BE VANQUISHED BUT MY ULITMATE WEAPON! GOODBYE, SNAKE LADY!" Dr. Eggman shouted
Moments later, the Egg Dragoon's arms turn into giant cannons as they connect and aim directly toward Gorgon. Gorgon watches as the colossal gun begins to charge up into a powerful and deadly beam that will incinerate anything in front of the attack. Everyone began to run away from the path of this upcoming devastating attack that the egg Dragoon was about to unleash upon Gorgon. Gorgon didn't move an inch from the way but stood and continued watching it... with a smile on her face. Several seconds later, the cannons were at full power and ready to unleash their attack on Gorgon. Eggman laughs, knowing that this beam can kill Gorgon and incinerate her into crisp ashes.
"HeHaHahahahahahaha! Let's see if you can survive this! FIRE!" Eggman shouted
"Don't get cocky just yet... Human... Master..." Gorgon whispers
As soon as the cannon fires a massive beam toward Gorgon, Sonic suddenly jumps out of the building that he was currently in, curls into a ball, and homing attacks toward the Egg Dragoon, performing a quick 20-combo at the Egg Dragoon, then serves a powerful Wind Rush, in which he slams right into the Egg Dragoon with just enough force to knock the Egg Dragoon upwards and firing the beam at the sky instead. Everyone watches as the beam fires upwards in the sky and into space. Gorgon smiles as she knows that her Master not only managed to save her but thousands of people from this single attack. Just one Hedgehog stopped a deadly attack from causing massive damage to everything around it. Dr. Eggman was caught off guard that the Egg Dragoon was looking upwards instead of Gorgon while also shooting upwards. But soon realizes that Sonic has reappeared once again and disrupts his plan once again.
"S-SONIC! H-HOW COULD YOU! THIS ISN'T HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO GO! I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN THIS TIME AROUND!" Dr. Eggman shouted
Sonic smirks as he dashes away and makes his way to Gorgon's shoulder, watching the beam as it dies down and, soon after, forcing a cool down on the Egg Dragoon. Sonic notices the cooldown and smiles.
"Gorgon! That machine is on cool down! I think it's time for a counterattack. Are you ready to finish this?" Sonic asks
"It is my pleasure, Master. Time to throw away this world's trash." Gorgon replied
"Just try not to kill Eggman, got it?"
The snakes on Gorgon's hair extended, and all made their way toward the Egg Dragoon and began to tie around it forcefully this time. Dr. Eggman notices the Snake connecting around his machine again and activates his pilot wings in a panic, trying to escape the Snake's grasp. Still, it is to no avail as the Snake forcefully stops Eggman from escaping. Instead of crushing it like the Death Egg Robot, Gorgon raises the Egg Dragoon directly up into the sky, above Station Square, where everyone can see the Snake growing a heavy machine with no problem. Once the Egg Dragoon is raised high enough from the City, Gorgon's eyes glow moments later as a summoning circle appears in front of her and Sonic, followed by her wings and hair extending and covering both her and Sonic in the process.
"Thousand Demon Eyes, release. Be melted down. I will return unto you your curse." Gorgon Preparing To Unleash Her Noble Phantasm
"*Looking At Gorgon And Seeing Her Unleash Her Ulitmate Attack As Well* NO! NO! This can't be! I need to escape from this thing!" Eggman panicked
Eggman secretly escapes from the Egg Dragoon as he quickly flies away from Station Square while also looking back at the incoming attack from Gorgon towards the Egg Dragoon.
"Now, Gorgon!" Sonic shouted
"Pandemonium Cetus!" Gorgon shouted
The snakes tied around the Egg Dragoon all let go as soon as Gorgon released a massive beam of dark energy directly at the Egg Dragon. Knuckles, Amy, Tails, and Cream, who were all dealing with the Badnicks, and the civilians of Station Square, all watch as the beam engulfs the Egg Dragoon and begins to incinerate it. Pieces of the Egg Dragoon broke apart and were turned into ashes soon after from the extreme heat of the attack. More details of the Egg Dragoon continue to be burned apart. Eventually, the whole machine is incinerated into nothing, and everything vanishes. The Badnicks that were invading the City also began to malfunction and dropped onto the ground one by one as a result of the defeat of the Egg Dragoon. A few seconds later, the beam dies as everything becomes silent; the hair and wings stop covering Gorgon and Sonic, unharmed from the attack and looking up at the sky, viewing nothing but the clear blue skies hovering above them. Sonic gives Gorgon a thumbs up while Gorgon pats Sonic on the head. Gorgon and Sonic looked at each other as they smiled at one another.
"Did I do good, Master?" Gorgon asks
"You did amazing, Gorgon! Way better then I ever expected! This was the best thing I've ever experienced with you! I'm glad that I was able to meet someone like you, Gorgon!" Sonic replies
"T-Thank you, Sonic! I don't get complaints like that, but I'm glad you're always there to support someone like me. Promise me that you'll continue to be with me, Master?" Gorgon asks
"Don't worry, Gorgon! I'll always be your friend and stay by your side for a long time! This is only just the beginning!" Sonic replies
Soon after, the two heard noises of cheering and clapping coming from the City; Gorgon and Sonic looked as if everyone was cheering for the two of them for saving the City and defeating Eggman once again. Gorgon, hearing these cheers, slowly begins to smile, knowing that she has accomplished what she always deem impossible. All she could do was smile and thank Sonic for everything. And it was all thanks to a little Blue Hedgehog that got her here.
*Chaldea*
"Thank you for helping us with carrying those boxes, Gorgon! We can't thank you enough for your help!" Gudako said
"Don't worry about it; it's my duty as a Servant to help those who are having trouble," Gorgon replies.
"You don't have to worry, Gorgon, we're just workers of Chaldea. You should be helping Sonic out more. He is your Master as well." Gudao said
"*Carrying heavier Boxes For Gudao And Gudako* Sonic is indeed my Master, but Sonic has told us Servants that no matter who we are. That we heroes and villains are here to work with each other. I may be a threat to Humanity. But as for now, I am just a Servant there to help those in need. Now, let's get going; Da Vinci is waiting for these boxes to be given to her." Gorgon replies
"*Watching Gorgon Help Gudao And Gudako Carrying Tons Of Boxes* Oh my, are my eyes playing tricks, or is it that our little sister is in a happy mood helping those Humans around. I have never seen anything like this before." Euryale said
"From the looks of it, it does seem she looks even happier then before. What could this mean?" Stheno questions
"It's nothing too deep, you two. Gorgon and I just went on a little trip to my world where she could express what she truly wanted." Sonic said
"Oh, Master, is that so, huh? The fact that you made our little sister feel happy also brings me joy." Euryale replies
"You may be some kind of talking animal from the outside, but you care for others on the inside. How long was it since we saw our little sister smile for once? We can sometimes be cruel to her, but seeing her have fun and smile is the only goal we couldn't do." Stheno said
"Don't worry, you two. It just needed to take time to get her out of her comfort zone. It may have looked difficult for her initially, but with enough patience, the results are immense!" Sonic commented
"Haha! The amount of confidence around you is pretty amusing. I give me thanks to you, Master." Stheno said
"I give my gratitude to you as well, Master!" Euryale said
"Anytime, you two! But it's not over just yet; Gorgon still needs our support as much as possible. So the three of us will give her a hand as much as possible!" Sonic replied
"Yes, our little sister still needs to be taken care of. Regardless of the matter." Euryale said
"Your help will not be forgotten by us, Master," Stheno said
