"Chaos Control."
20XX July 7th
2 days later.
Tania is curious about those strange looking bracelets on her wrists as if they're a part of her gloves, making her wave her arms.
"These are the bracelets that the family used for generations. Use it wisely, kid." Nigel said while patting Tania's head.
"Yes, Mr. King. I'll make you proud." Tania salutes with confidence.
Appearing from behind, Elias is carrying the bags, preparing for a journey.
"So, where's the horse?" Tania asked.
"Hm?" Elias is confused about why Tania asked about a horse.
"I mean you guys are a royal family, so…"
"It seems you're mistaken there, kid." Elias chuckles and then reveals a sports car which had Tania surprised, yet confused.
"We're not that old fashioned, just a traditional family." Elias explained.
"Oh. So where are we going?" Tania is curious to know which location they're heading to.
"To where Eggman lives in, Metropolis." Elias answered.
Tania is surprised that Elias is leading her directly to where she needed to go.
After that, Elias is taking the driver's seat whereas Tania is next to him while putting on seat belts.
"Be careful, you two." Nigel is hoping for them to come back safely.
"We will, father. When we find the survivors, we'll bring them here." Elias nods while starting the car engine.
"So what about you, Mr. King?" Tania is wondering if Nigel is going to be okay without them.
"I am the king. I'll take care of those trespassers. Dr. Eggman will never take away my kingdom." Nigel is as determined as Tania as his reason is to defend his family's name.
The car is slowly moving forward, making Tania and Elias prepare themselves to save more people and fight Eggman.
"We're off, father. Take care of Meg for me." Elias says while moving out.
"Will do, my son." Nigel bows.
Before the car moves off, it suddenly halts as Elias and Tania exclaims.
Standing in front of the car is Megan as she folds her arms, scowling at the fact that both of them are leaving her behind.
"Big sis?" Tania is surprised to see Megan outside.
"Meg, can you move over please? Tania and I are out on a journey." Elias sighs while waving.
"Not without me! Remember our promise, Elias!" Megan refuses to stay as she wants in for a ride.
"Ah… I guess I'm all alone again…" Nigel sighs out of dejection, realising he has no one to talk to.
At least Nigel has online friends.
"Great… Tania, can you take the back seat?" Elias groans while leaning on the steering wheel.
"Okay." Tania sounds disappointed as she leaves the car and goes back inside in the back of the vehicle, leading Meg to sit next to Elias.
"Is that all?" Elias asks while lifting his head up.
"That is all." Megan confirmed.
"Then let's go. When we're in danger, make sure to hide safely. Got that?"
"Okay. Let's get going. Dad… We're coming." Megan is praying for her own father to survive.
Finally, the car takes off, leaving Nigel watching his son with 2 girls leaving the kingdom.
Nigel nods while looking serious.
"Good luck, children." Nigel raises his arms, creating gauntlets while summoning a sword and a shield, all made out of blue energy.
Nigel is meeting his own trespassers while clenching his sword.
"Come. Maybe you desire a royal beating."
On a journey through Westside Island, Elias is focusing on the road while looking into the direction of where he should go by steering the wheel.
Megan already knows how desolate some of the lands are, but Tania is new to all the environment as she's surprised.
They're almost at Metropolis as Elias is letting the breeze in for him and the girls to relax through.
Metropolis
In a metallic city that is so futuristic, the skyscrapers are left intact and the signs are a little damaged, rendering the place to be a ghost city.
As the car is parked, Elias, Megan and Tania are walking together in the middle of a city as Elias releases his sword in order to guard the girls.
"It's quiet. Creepy." Tania shudders at the thought of there being no population in the city.
"You're right. Elias, maybe we should stick together." Megan suggested.
"Good idea. Let's hope the doctor doesn't send out his guard bots to get us." Elias continues moving forward while protecting Tania and Megan.
While moving forward, Tania stops as her ears perk up to her surprise, leading her to split up from Elias and Megan.
As Tania runs towards the sound, she opens the door to the warehouse.
Gasping, Tania is seeing not just those from Hedgehog Town but more from outside, making her rush forward and slide towards a bunch of cages.
"What the?" A familiar lizard boy in a baseball cap reveals himself by holding the bars.
"Anton!?" Tania exclaimed, knowing the bully that's been harming her brother for a while.
"Wait, you're Nicky's little sister!? How did you…" Anton Veruca is flabbergasted until he is pushed by a fat brown furred hedgehog boy, who was excited to see someone coming to rescue those that are kidnapped.
"Little sister!? Tania!? You're alive!?" The fat hedgehog boy cheered with joy.
"Little John… Where's big brother?" Tania asked.
"Where's Nicky!? He's not here! He's probably dead!" Anton snapped.
"What? That's not true!" Tania refuses to believe what Anton said.
"I think he's somewhere. I saw both of them drifting to the ocean. If Tania is still alive, then so is Nicky." Little John pointed out as he remembered seeing both hedgehogs being pushed off the island by an explosion by Eggman's robot.
"What!? He's still alive!? Why!? It should've been me that escaped!" Anton yelled after hearing that the hedgehog siblings are the only ones escaping.
"And look what happened. Anton, you're a meanie and a bully, but I'll save you and everyone that is kidnapped. I'll get big brother Eli and big sis to get you guys out." Tania nods while walking.
"Eli? As in Elias?" A man's voice called as he appeared in another cell, revealed to be a squirrel man, stopping Tania as she turned around.
"Who are you, mister?"
"You know about my daughter and Elias. I'm her father. It's strange seeing someone from Hedgehog Town being a survivor that isn't taken by that madman." The squirrel man, who is Megan's father, said after seeing a yellow furred hedgehog outside.
"I'm here to find my brother, but I'm happy he's safe. What I'm chasing is Eggman." Said Tania.
"What? Do you not know who he is?" Megan's father grunts.
"Hey, Jossy boy, if that little scamp thinks she's saving us, then you must be trippin! If I was the opposite of these 2 furballs as well as Amy, then I'll come back and be the most badass hero to rescue all of you! Amy's going to kiss me and say 'Oh, Anton, you're the best hero ever! You're way more handsomer than that nerd, Nicky!' Oh, Amy, we'll kiss alright." Anton is showing off his ego while he scoffs.
That ego is ticking off Tania as she clenches her teeth and fists, glaring at the lizard for badmouthing her older brother.
"Hey! That's not nice!" Little John shouted as he pushed Anton.
"Ohoho! You wanna go!?" Anton raises his fists, itching to beat Little John to a pulp.
"Yeah, I wanna go! I'm not scared of you!" Little John raised his fists fearlessly.
"Well you should be, Fatty McFatterson!" Anton hissed.
"BE QUIET!" Tania yelled, stopping the whole warehouse as she revealed the bracelets on her gloves. "If you are good boys and girls, then I'll save all of you!"
As Tania says that, she swings her arm, cutting the cages into pieces, causing Anton to shriek as he ducks in a split second, smashing the containers all over the warehouse.
The energy gauntlets appear as Tania is wearing them, then she summons a sword that is double edged, with a circular guard and protuberances that resembles wings as they form a cross.
The sword Tania has created resembles the sword of King Arthur called Caliburn.
"Woah…" Tania is just as amazed as she was before, making her feel like she achieved something greater than anyone.
"That energy… Young lady, this is the Kingdom of Acorn's…" Joss the Squirrel is shocked that a hedgehog like Tania, who is never a part of the bloodline, was able to wield something.
"Yep. Mr. King gave them to me. Now I can fight Eggman no problem!" Tania nods with a smirk while placing an energy form of Caliburn on her shoulder and does a peace sign.
"Ah… It seems Elias and Megan have taught you a lot of things." Joss smiles as he pat Tania's shoulder.
As Tania hears many people cheering for freedom, she can feel the joy as many are praising her for her bravery and freeing them from Eggman's cages.
"Who is that kid?"
"I remember her! She's in my class!"
"This kid's got guts."
After Tania sticks out her tongue and pulls up her thumb while still placing the sword on her shoulder before getting hugged by Little John, Anton lifts himself up as well as wiping himself.
"Tania! Thank you! Now we can go home!" Little John cried.
"Ehehe… No problem, John." Tania giggles while blushing.
"W- Well, I would do the same if I was in her position." Anton scoffs while looking away.
"Well, young Veruca, after the whole story you told, I might say you'll be leaving us to rot in Dr. Eggman's cages. If it wasn't for Miss Tania, then we'd be here forever." Joss approaches Anton, knowing that the lizard is lying.
Anton grunts after being told by an adult that he's lying.
"Y- You're lying!" Anton snapped.
"Am I really? Then what about your mother? From what I heard, she's been nothing but a bully to those who had nothing to do with her. I'm only giving you a pass because you're just a kid." Joss concludes, causing Anton to be flabbergasted.
As he sees Tania, he fears the hedgehog with a sword, knowing how much he's receiving for tormenting Nicky and his classmates for a long time.
While Tania pulls up a hood to cover herself from being discovered by Eggman robots, a clap is heard, causing the civilians to panic as Joss raises his fists.
Clap…
Clap…
Clap…
"That's not good. A hedgehog freeing the doctor's future subjects. It seems there's another hedgehog from Hedgehog Town found along with a couple of squirrels from their kingdom." A faceless humanoid biker helmet and suit, all clad in black said calmly as he sighs out of disappointment.
"What? You know big brother Eli and big sis?" Tania grunts while raising her sword.
"Tell me, human! What did you do to them!?" Joss growls after hearing what a biker human said.
"They're a nuisance. I have to make sure they're still breathing." The black biker man clicks his fingers as he summons a robot hedgehog that is carrying both squirrels by the collars, which is Megan's dress collar and Elias' scarf.
To Tania and Joss' shock, they witness crimson liquid dripping from the two of them, causing Joss to panic as his own daughter is gravely injured.
"Megan… No! What the hell!?" Joss yelled out of shock, even the civilians were screaming while running, including Anton and Little John.
This leaves Tania and Joss to stand around and watch Elias and Megan being dropped to the ground, bleeding as they're being attacked by a robot hedgehog.
Tania is left shocked, realising that her splitting from them was a mistake after watching them being on the receiving end of being beaten by a robot hedgehog.
"B- Big… Brother…" Tania slowly moves forward, still in shock of watching her surrogate siblings dying in front of her.
"Dad… I'm so…" Before Megan expresses her joy that her father is okay, she collapses.
"Tania… Run…" Elias also collapses after giving out a warning.
Tania and Joss are now lost which leads to a horde of Buzz Bombers and Eggrobos appearing as they point their guns at a squirrel and a hedgehog.
"It's okay. I'll have them recovered at the doctor's lab. Now, I don't want to do this to children, but there's no other choice. And besides, the doctor doesn't have a problem with it." The black biker man raises his arm as the robots are prepared. "Hold your fire. Metal Sonic, take the hedgehog."
Metal Sonic nods while he floats down towards Tania.
Tania's rage is expressed after losing the things that made her smile.
Tania is now at the point that she'll cut the robots down in pieces, making her pierce a glare at Metal Sonic while clenching her sword.
"I'll kill you…"
"Hm?" The black biker man halts, surprised that he triggered a child that carries the Kingdom of Acorn's power.
"Tania?" Joss is also surprised, seeing a hedgehog pushing herself more as a way to fight for her friends and family.
Tania opens her eyes wider, summoning another sword that shapes itself as a blade with 6 bumps and the tip of it is an executioner, making it the darker version of Caliburn called Deathcalibur.
While both swords scrape together and then on the ground, Tania walks and then runs as she dashes at the speed of sound with rage coming out of her with blue energy overflowing out of her body.
"I'LL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!"
