Sonic '11 (PG13 AU Sonic the Hedgehog fic)

[KingKovu44]

No. The only echidnas I plan on for now are Knuckles and his parents, and later Knuckles and Bunnie's daughter.

[Chumvikingpride]

as long as there is Knuckels, it's going me!

[KingKovu44]

Well, Knuckles is a fairly prominent character in this story, so there will be plenty of moments with him. Now, here is chapter 2. Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Though everything seemed like it, not all was peaceful on Mobius. In a hidden lab in a distant corner of the planet, a grotesquely fat member of the race of mutated human descendants known as Overlanders sat in his seat. He was known only as Dr. Robotnik. He was a brilliant but power-hungry scientist, and it was this hunger for power that had caused him to be exiled from his own people. Since then, he had made attacks on both Knothole and Mobotropolis, but had been defeated. Now, he was ready to put his ultimate plan into motion. To that end, Robotnik had enlisted the help a trio of traitorous Mobian bounty hunters: an attractive, crafty and intelligent female Red fox named Fiona, a somewhat less intelligent male Grey wolf named Sleet and a highly unintelligent male dingo named Dingo.

“This will be my ultimate victory over the two greatest Mobian kingdoms. From there, we will defeat the others,” Robotnik began.

“We appreciate your call. It’s been some time since we’ve had work,” Fiona answered.

“Yeah!” Dingo exclaimed in a childish burst of excitement.

Sleet just growled. Robotnik then turned to a short, green-clad Overlander. This was his nephew Snively.

“Is everything ready for the invasion?” Robotnik asked.

“Yes, Dr. Robotnik. The SWATbot army is ready, as are the war machines,” Snively answered.

“Excellent,” Robotnik replied.

It was then that Sleet interjected.

“And what do we get for this?” he asked.

“Why, the honor of being my enforcers,” Robotnik replied.

“We don’t work for free,” Fiona stated.

“Very well. You will be paid from the royal treasuries,” Robotnik said.

Sleet, Dingo and Fiona thought about it for a moment.

“You have a deal,” Fiona told Robotnik.

Robotnik gave an evil chuckle. Snively looked at him.

“What is it, sir?” the short Overlander asked.

“Be prepared, for my shining new era is tiptoeing nearer,” Robotnik replied.

“Yes sir,” Snively answered, too scared of his cruel uncle to ask questions.

Fiona grinned wickedly.

“I’m ready,” the evil vixen stated.

Robotnik only nodded. In his mind, he was busy planning the invasion. First, he would attack Mobotropolis and then Knothole. Once those cities were his and their royal families deposed, he would use the wealth of both kingdoms to finance his attacks on the other kingdoms. In his arrogance, the obese would-be dictator thought his plan was fool-proof. In Knothole, the night had passed and daylight shone once more. Today was the last day before Sonic left to ask for Princess Sally’s hand in marriage. At the moment, Sonic was watching Amy practice her power, which was to pull a giant red and yellow hammer out of nowhere. With this hammer, she was a fierce and powerful fighter. He watched as she fought against mechanical practice dummies made for this kind of use by Chuck.

“Good job, Amy! Keep it up!” Sonic said to encourage his young cousin.

Just then, Aleena walked into the training room.

“Son, your father and I wish to speak with you and show you how you’ll be getting to Mobotropolis,” she said.

Sonic followed his mother to the entry to the royal menagerie, where his father waited. The yellow hedgehog, even at rest, showed his commanding presence as he stood there in his gold crown and indigo cape. Indeed, he was every inch the great warrior king that the kingdoms spoke of. However, Levi preferred peace and used his great wisdom in order to try and guide his kingdom in that direction. Sonic bowed respectfully to his father.

“Dad, you wanted to see me?” the speedy blue prince asked.

“Yes. You see, Sonic, it is a tradition in our kingdom that when we go to another to make a grand parade entry. Now it is your turn to carry on that tradition,” Levi began.

The king showed his son around. They exited the indoor portion of the menagerie and went over to a large fenced area.

“This, my son, is what you will be riding,” Levi said as he gestured to the creatures within the fence.

Sonic looked to see several very large animals eating the green plants given to them by the animal keepers. They were Terrapods, large elephant-like beasts that stood thirteen feet tall at the shoulder and weighed 15,000 pounds. Terrapods were native to Mobius’ grasslands and were the planet’s largest land herbivores. The citizens of the kingdoms, especially those of the kingdom of Hedgehog, had domesticated them for riding and for use as beasts of burden. However, with the invention and use of various mechanical vehicles, the use of Terrapods was now largely limited to ceremonial displays among the nobility.

“If this doesn’t get the princess’ attention, I don’t know what will,” Sonic said.

“Yes. However, you must also remember to be humble,” Levi reminded.

“I’ll try,” Sonic replied.

“No. There is no try. There is only doing,” Levi stated.

“I’ll remember that,” Sonic answered.

And so, Levi and Aleena showed Sonic the other elements of his entry parade, including the ornate platform which would be placed on the Terrapod’s back for him to sit on. It was painted a beautiful shade of red and boasted gold leaf accents. Inside the seat box was a comfortable upholstered cloth seat.

“Very nice,” Sonic told his parents.

Levi and Aleena smiled. The rest of the day was spent preparing for Sonic’s departure. After dinner, Sonic went to his room, brushed his teeth and then went to one of the relaxation chambers to hang out a bit before bedtime. He sat down and got comfortable on one of the large, soft couches. Just then, Mira entered.

“I thought you might want someone to keep you company while you were here,” the leopardess said as she sat down next to Sonic.

“Thanks,” Sonic replied.

“Tomorrow’s a big day for you,” Mira continued.

“Yeah, I’m going to court my future queen. I hope it works out. It would be way past cool if it did,” Sonic answered.

Sonic waited for Mira to answer. When she didn’t, he looked at her and saw that she had a flirtatious gleam in her eyes. It was the same gleam that she took on during their flirtations. Without speaking, Mira moved close and embraced Sonic.

“I wish you the best, but if it doesn’t work out between you and the princess, remember that I’m always here for you,” she said.

It was then that Sonic and Mira shared one more kiss.

“Consider that a good luck gesture,” Mira told him.

They hung out a bit more and then left the room to go to bed. Sonic got to his room, laid down in his comfortable bed, set his alarm clock, got under his covers and fell asleep. Very early the next morning, the alarm went off. Sonic immediately got up and headed out, for he knew he had to get ready. He got in the shower, dried off and went to meet his family. They too had all gotten up and bathed.

“Well, bro, today’s the day,” Manic said.

“Indeed. I wish you success,” Aleena told him.

Levi, Sonia, Chuck, Hana and Amy also gave their encouragement. As the sun continued to rise, the royal family’s friends also began to get ready. Soon the sun was up, and it was time for the final preparations and for final goodbyes. Under Levi and Aleena’s direction, the animal keepers brought the mature male Terrapod from the pen. With the aid of the keepers, a scarlet cloth cover was placed on the animal’s back and then, with the aid of a crane, the decorative seating platform was placed on top. The animal keepers then buckled it in place. Around them, other keepers loaded smaller but equally dangerous creatures from the menagerie into wheeled cages pulled by Cape buffalo-sized armored reptilian beasts of burden with dull green scales known as Placimodos. Harmless creatures were also loaded into their own cages. Sonic’s siblings, friends, the dancers, swordsmen, musicians and other Mobians who would be participating in the parade also got ready. Soon, everything was ready to go. Everyone turned their attention to the palace doors.

“Hail Prince Sonic!” Levi shouted.

At the king’s words, the palace doors opened wide, and Sonic walked out into the morning sunlight. He wore a golden crown, and a blood-red cape with gold trim was draped over his shoulders. He bid farewell to his parents, uncle and aunt first and then turned to Amy, who would be staying home due to the fact that Sonic would be away for awhile and that time period would be a bit too long for her to be away from her parents.

“I wish I could go with you,” Amy said.

“Don’t worry, Amy. When I return, you’ll be one of the first people I look for,” Sonic replied.

“Really?” Amy asked.

“Really,” Sonic said as he hugged his young cousin.

Sonic then walked up the ramp that had been set up next to the Terrapod so that he could get into his seat. Once he was in, the parade began its journey to Mobotropolis. As he left the palace, Sonic heard the voice of one of his other friends, Vector the crocodile, who didn’t live in the palace but had come earlier this morning to say goodbye.

“I’m rooting for you!” Vector shouted.

Sonic smiled. Soon, the parade was out of sight. It traveled until it reached Mobotropolis. In the palace, Max, Alicia, Elias and Sally were relaxing in the throne room when, all of a sudden, a loud trumpet fanfare sounded, and then voices cried out.

“MAKE WAY FOR PRINCE SONIC!” the voices exclaimed.

The Acorn family rushed to the balcony and looked out at their city. A huge parade was in progress.

“It’s the prince from the Kingdom of Hedgehog,” Alicia said.

They watched the parade. Knuckles led it. First came the marchers, swordsmen and ribbon dancers. It was then that they saw the Terrapod with Sonic on its back. Sally took as good a look at Sonic as she could. He was certainly handsome, but she wasn’t convinced just yet. The next part of the parade consisted of golden statues and displays of wild animals. Then, Sally saw Sonic throwing handfuls of gold coins to the citizens. Now she was truly interested to really see what he was like. The parade made its way up the palace steps with the Terrapod leading the way. Suddenly, the doors flew open and the parade entered the palace. The music and singing fell silent and the Terrapod stopped moving. Sonic stood up, leapt from his mount’s back, spin-dashed around the room a few times and landed right in front of Max. Max was impressed. Sonic bowed and then spoke.

“Your majesty, I am Prince Sonic the Hedgehog and I have traveled from my kingdom to seek your daughter’s hand,” he said.

Max gestured at Sally.

“Well, here she is. Prince Sonic, meet Princess Sally Alicia Acorn,” he said.

Sonic looked at Sally. She was absolutely gorgeous. He went over and kissed her paw.

“Wow, I’ve heard that you were beautiful, but never that you were this beautiful,” he told her, his tone revealing that he was clearly interested in her.

Sally smiled.

“Thank you, Prince Sonic,” Sally said.

Sonic then gave Sally some gifts of gold jewelry that he had brought for her. At this same moment, Elias noticed Sonia standing near the Terrapod and was smitten with her. He decided that he would speak with her later. Sonic looked back at Max.

“Thank you for having me. My father sends his regards,” he said.

“Ah, your father. I’ve heard of him. Not for nothing is he called ‘the Lion King of Knothole’,” Max replied.

Sonic then proceeded to introduce his friends and family as the servants led the other participants to their lodgings. Sonic’s mission to court Sally had begun. So far, Sonic wasn’t like the other princes, but Sally decided she would watch him carefully. As well, Elias prepared to try and court Sonia.

[Chumvikingpride]

A suite as I expected, with Vector!

Robotnik=Scar
Dingo,Grésil and Fiona=Shenzi,Ed and Banzaï?

[KingKovu44]

Yep!

Yeah, Robotnik is like Scar and Fiona, Sleet and Dingo and their working together is a tribute to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. As for Snively, he has no real equivalent to any TLK character...

[Chumvikingpride]

You can always find him a

[KingKovu44]

LOL.

Really, though, Snively's main purpose is to take the brunt of Robotnik's wrath when his plans don't go right.

[Chumvikingpride]

Poor...

[KingKovu44]

Oh well, you need someone like that.

Anyway, I've begun chapter 3.

[Chumvikingpride]

great!!
