Side story 1 of Hedge's and Roses and Who's
Robert "Rob" o'hedge POV, Deerwood, mercian kingdom,
I looked down at the destroyed SWATbot on the ground in front of me, It was hit by arrow and
sword and had nearly killed one of his men, but even then he couldn't find it in himself to hate it
or be angry, he knew most thought he was soft, to kind to fight Robotnik and he agreed, it was
hard to admit it to himself but it was true, he wasn't one for war and fighting, he would have
much preferred to be having fun and being home, and to see his parents again, but of course
Robotnik had taken them from him, I look down at my sword and check for damage, and don't
find any more than usual.
that was the last SWATbot in the area where they would be able to win in a straight fight, all the
good ambush sights in the area were already used and the high sheriff was learning slowly but
surely how to get past them, without needing to go through the trapped areas and worst terrain
for his robot army.
Looking around I see my men double checking the destroyed badniks, and look back at the one
in front of me, it was a monster of metal, a creature that any mother would frighten her children
with so they wouldn't wonder too far from home and many more metaphors for there cruelty he
could come up with if he spent the time to do so.
He raised his sword and brought it down through the SWATbots visor and jerked it around
before ripping it out.
But what was the point of giving titles and epithets to those that he was duty bound to destroy?
If not in vengeance for those they had killed, then out of love for those he still could protect, my
baby brother and my cousin, Amy Rose.
"Were done here, let head back" his order was followed by chears and agreement from his men
as they began to head back to Base.
Harvey Who POV, location unknown,
He stared at another report, more bad news, all News these days seemed that way, he was
good at what he did, and his failure to see Robotnik's plot and counter it had caused the fall of
his entire country, he would have to reclaim the kingdom, there was no time really for such
contemplation but he did it anyway, he couldn't afford to bottle up his thoughts on the matters of
his failures, he had began to daubt his own skill, there was no time to doubt but he did, he
should have been hung for such failure, like a common bandit, but he was to valuable to
execute, and who would pull the lever?
The royal family of acorn was reduced to a single girl, barley old enough to understand what
had been stolen from her, she cried for her mother and father and brother and many many more
that Robotnik had taken from her, she had been forced to grow up faster than was befiting a
princess, a crime perhaps he alone was responsible for, he would place the crown back on her
head or he would die trying.
He sighed and moved to pickup a different report, this one from GreenHill zone, he furrowed his
brow at the report, GreenHill? It was firmly in Robotnik's influence, within a day perhaps of
mobotropolis itself or whatever Robotnik was calling it now, it sickend him to his stomach to
think about the name change.
There wasn't really anything of strategic importance there, but it wasn't lying on his desk to
collect dust so he opened it, he read it, and then he read it again, it was on his sixth reading that
he began to laugh at the insanity of it, an entire prison freed? hundreds of badniks destroyed?
All by the hands of one young blue hedgehog? Robotnik himself defeated in battle and sent
running with his mustache between his legs? It was absurd!
Hedgehog were known for being able to be very fast, but this couldn't be possible, he checked
to see if this was verified and who had done it, it was all there, and it was sent by a man he had
personaly tutored in the art of spycraft, a man who had never given me any reason to daubt his
compitence, I say back and considered it for a moment, if it was true, if this Sonic was real, he
would need to get him before Robotnik was able to drown the young warrior in steal, oil, flesh,
and blood, Robotnik would never take such a secret laying down, it called all of his authority into
question, if it was true it would shatter his image of invincibility, if if if, he would have to find out,
and he had a good feeling about it and he had to find out the truth of the matter.
Amy Rose, Deerwood hideout, 8:40am.
She was reading her favorite book, the Arthurian legend when her cousin got back, she ran out
to greet him and hugged him and then they went for her lessons in sword fighting he had
promised her, she wasn't a little girl anymore! she wasn't! He brought her to the training yard
and showed her a few moves and she did her best to copy him, they did that for a long time, she
couldn't tell exactly how long but it was long!
Then it was onto her more preferred lessons! The one's she was really good at! Hammers! Her
cousin had someone else to teach her how to use a hammer, he wasn't as nice as cousin Rob
but he was still nice and taught her a bunch about hammer's and then she was onto her
crossbow and Archery training! She wasn't great with a bow but she was really good with a
crossbow, all her teachers said she was doing well in her training so she must be doing it right!
Then it was to the much less exciting lessons about writing, reading and history. She still did
them pretty well but she just couldn't wait to get back to the sword and hammer, crossbow and
Archery training that were all way more fun!
When she was all done with her lessons she ran off to play with her cousin " little Robb" do to
who was just a smaller cousin Rob who she could play with more often, they played knights with
sticks and she beat him more than he beat her
When it was late out and she had to go back to the bedroom she said her goodbyes to "little
Robb" and went to go to bed, she played with her tarot cards for a while and Read more about
the Arthurian legend and then laid down to go to sleep, and the book glowed with magic, with no
one to see.
