A Fallen King

Chapter Two

I've been getting some real love for this, and I know this is a little short, but I felt it was a good cutoff point... Also, I apologize for my French, it's a combination of 20-year-old high school French and Google. Let me know if I need to fix it, and I promise not to use it too much from now on.

Shadow stared at the blue hedgehog, his arms crossed as he stared at the comatose blue figure. He had been stuck with the duty since Rouge and the other girls left to go get baby supplies. Omega refused to watch 'a weak combatant that could not provide an adequate fighting force', and Tails was out for the count, sleeping like a rock on the couch in the next room. So it was Shadow's job to keep an eye on the sleeping idiot.

So far, it was boring. Shadow briefly considered seeing if he could wake up the blue annoyance with a punch to the face. Unfortunately, Rouge had made him promise to play nice. And Shadow was nothing if not a hedgehog of his word. So that idea was out. At least until Sonic woke up.

The black hedgehog leaned back in his chair, sighing deeply at the blue one as he lay in the bed, breathing steadily. How much longer was the blue menace going to remain out cold?

"You look so peaceful like this," Shadow commented dryly, making sure his voice wasn't loud enough to wake the sleeping hedgehog. "It's strange to see you like this. Unaware and silent." He snorted softly, "Though that won't last long. You never shut up if you can help it."

Shadow leaned forward, reaching over and poking the center of the unconscious hero's forehead, snorting again when the blue one didn't react. "Weird to see you like this, honestly. Almost as weird as… the kid."

The black hedgehog snorted and shook his head. "Though that's on you as well." He frowned a bit at the blue idiot, crossing his arms and giving him a deeper scowl. "Who did this? Did… Did alternative me really mean that much to you? If I were able to have your child-" His frown twisted into a full grimace, "What? The. Fuck?"

Shadow pinched the bridge of his nose, snorting again before giving the blue one another look over. He didn't look too banged up. Maybe a few scrapes or bruises, but overall, the other hedgehog seemed physically fine. On the outside, that is. Shadow was no doctor, not even an EMT like Rouge or Silver. And he knew for a fact that G.U.N. standard EMTs only had a basic course they all took. Not nearly enough to do more than bandage wounds and inject medication.

Sighing again, the black hedgehog looked down at his comm, noticing that there was a photo from Rouge on the screen. It was of the child now dressed in a onesie. A rather simple little outfit, dark gray with lighter grey stripes. The child seemed to be staring at the phone, tiny sunglasses perched on their tiny nose, and a smirk on their face that seemed to mimic Shadow's. The text underneath said, ' Just like dada.'

"Ugh." Shadow dropped the phone onto the bedside table, not wanting to look at it anymore. "Dammit, Faker." His voice dropped down to a growl, glaring at the blue one again. "Hurry up and wake up so I can knock you back out. And then you can deal with this mess." The child was cute, sure, but that didn't stop Shadow from feeling the rising irritation and the itch of his curiosity. Questions that he wanted answered.

What happened? Who is the child? Where have you been? Why? How?

"What happened to you?" He muttered, his claws unconsciously digging into the arms of the chair. "…Why would you do this? Even if… even if the other me meant that much to you. Why? We… We aren't compatible. No matter how you look at it."

He let out a long breath, letting his head fall back and his eyes slip closed. "…I wouldn't want a child, not now. Would you, idiot? You're an orphan, aren't you? And you wouldn't do that to your own kid. Not unless… it was a mistake." Shadow's frown grew deeper at the thought, his brow furrowing.

A mistake…

"You would raise them." He reasoned, eyes closed and head still leaned back. "You wouldn't give them up for anything, and I wouldn't let anyone near a kid if I didn't trust them. So if it was a mistake, that means…" Shadow's eyes opened again, and his brow furrowed deeper in confusion.

"This doesn't make any sense." He grumbled, "This whole situation is so illogical. Dammit, Sonic." Shadow's voice slipped up a bit, his pitch rising in volume without realizing it . "I need to know what happened to you. So I can make an accurate and logical decision."

There was a small groan from the bed, Shadow's ears perking up at the sound. "Sonic?" He got to his feet and moved over to the hedgehog's side. "Sonic, can you hear me?"

A hand reached up and cupped his face, "Je t'entends, mon amour…" The blue hedgehog's hand slipped behind Shadow's head and pulled him down, lips forming into a smile. "Ma lance?"

Shadow let out a squeak as Sonic's lips brushed his own, his mind coming to a screeching halt. Sonic's lips were warm, his face soft, and he smelled like dust and grass. The black hedgehog almost let his eyes fall closed before-

'What the fuck are you doing?!' Shadow pulled away, his fist flying out and sending Sonic crashing to the floor next to the cot. "THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He demanded, staring wide-eyed at Sonic as the other hedgehog slowly pushed himself up to his knees. His ears were folded against his head, and his hands were together, as if he were praying.

"M - mon amour," The blue hedgehog looked up, wide-eyed and lost in a way that Shadow had never seen before. It was as if he had lost his entire world and was struggling to comprehend it. " Lance, qu'est-ce qui ne va pas ? Qu'est-ce que-"

"I have no idea what you are saying!" Shadow snapped, and Sonic went quiet. The blue hedgehog stared up at him, tears in his eyes as he seemed to comprehend something . He stood , wrapping his arms around Shadow's torso and holding on tight. He was trembling like a leaf. He pressed his face against Shadow's chest. "No… No. It was just a dream…" He whispered into Shadow's chest, his voice cracking on a sob. "This can't be… This can't be real."

Shadow sighed, his shoulders slumping a bit. "Sonic." He muttered, placing a hand on his head. "Idiot, get off me."

"Mais je t'aime toujours," Sonic mumbled, turning his head to look up at Shadow, emerald eyes glimmering with tears. "Peut même m'aimerais?"

Shadow stared back, the words unfamiliar to him, but the feelings were written clearly in those expressive eyes. And it broke Shadow's heart to see them. Shadow took a deep breath, "I don't understand. What are you saying?"

Sonic seemed to be calming down, and Shadow pulled the hedgehog back over to the medical cot. He could hear Tails stirring on the couch in the other room. Great, that was his fault. He had yelled at Sonic and woke up the kid. Wonderful.

"…What am I saying, right?" Sonic sat on the cot, looking at Shadow and letting out a wet, humorless laugh. "Oui, comment pouvons-nous- …I have so many questions …"

"You and me both, faker." Shadow frowned, looking at the tear-struck face of the other hedgehog. "You and me both. But we have to wait until the kid wakes up."

The three girls came back from the store to find two very upset hedgehogs and a tired-looking fox, all sitting at a table and sipping cups of tea. Tails seemed to be the calmest of the bunch, sipping his tea and munching on a couple of cookies that rested on the plate in the middle of the table. Shadow was holding his face in his hands, tea untouched, a nd Sonic seemed to be hiccuping and shaking still, though he had his tea gripped in both hands tightly. Almost as if it were a lifeline.

As soon as Rouge entered the house, with the baby held in a carrier on her chest, she began to speak. "Alright! We're back! And we got a bunch of stuff for the little darling. And I think-"

She stopped, looking at the table and the people around it, noticing the change in the air immediately. "What in the world happened?"

Tails opened his mouth.

Shadow removed a hand from his face and pointed a finger at the Miles Electric, a small spark of chaos energy forming at the tip. The fox promptly understood the unspoken threat and immediately closed his mouth.

"Nope. I'm not getting involved. I have things to do. Things that aren't this."

The fox gulped down the rest of the tea and beat a hasty retreat to his bedroom . Leaving Shadow and Sonic at the table.

Sonic glanced up at the three, his teacup trembling in his hand, before he gave them a shaky grin. "Hey. Uh… Hi."

Rouge was the first one to snap out of the sudden surprise, moving over to the blue hedgehog and pulling the still sleeping baby from her carrier. "Here, honey. Looks like you need a little cuddle time with someone ."

"Merci." He took the offered baby, gently nestling the small hoglet in his arms, a fond look overtaking his features , "Salut, mon trésor."

"…Was that French?" Amy whispered to Blaze, who nodded her head in response. "I didn't know he could speak French…"

R ouge gently sat next to the blue hero, pulling the now - empty baby carrier off her chest and placing it on the ground. "Honey, are you ok?" She gently rested her hand on his shoulder.

"Honestly? I don't know," Sonic admitted, giving her a half shrug. "I can't tell if… if I'm happy to be here with you guys again, or sad, or just…" He sighed, nuzzling his baby closer, the small one still in a deep sleep. "I'm not sure."

"Maybe…" Shadow finally sighed, looking over at the blue hedgehog with a sigh, "Maybe we should start with the basics, and go from there."

Sonic nodded . "Bien sûr. Ask away."

Rouge was the first to speak up. "Who's the mother?"

"Not me." Shadow's answer was quick, almost a snap.

Sonic glanced between them before leaning back an,d letting out a loud bark of laughter. "Non non non, mon cher, tu étais," Sonic was laughing hard at the idea, clutching the baby with a joyful light in his eyes that Shadow hadn't seen yet.

"Sonic, English," The bat reminded him. "We don't understand F rench. How do you even speak French anyway?"

" Sorry !" The blue hedgehog apologized, his laughter winding down a bit. "And the French thing… Well, it's what the royal court spoke, and the knights too . So…" He shrugged with one shoulder, "I ended up picking it up. Plus, L… Lance loved it, so." He chuckled as if it were a joke, cradling the baby in his arms closer.

"So… We've established that I'm not the mom," Shadow deadpanned, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance. "So that leaves… my alternative counterpart."

"Bingo." The blue hedgehog's smile was fainter, his eyes sad. "He …" There was a long moment of silence. "…He passed away. Right before… well, before I returned ."

"Ah. I'm sorry for your loss." Shadow knew the loss of a loved one, and although he felt no pain at the loss of a version of himself, he still knew the grief. So, he hoped his condolences were enough. He should know from firsthand experience, what it was like to lose someone you cared for.

"Eh… Merci, Shadow . Vraiment, c'est gentil a vous de dire. I appreciate it." He took a deep breath, a shadow of grief on his face. "We had a long… It's been a while now, yeah. Our relationship, I mean. We've been married for the last seven years … " He chuckled lightly, "Gods, it feels like no time has passed, and yet, an eternity."

"Seven years…" Rouge hum med, glancing over at the child before looking at Sonic. "So, how old are you? And how old is the child?"

" Thirty -three. And Galahad is about nine months now ," His eyes were warm as he gazed down at the sleeping form. "He looks more like his Papa … My Lance."

Amy's quiet sque aling was loud in the still silence that was in the room. "THAT'S SO CUTE!!" She whisper-screamed, clutching at Blaze's arm. The cat gave her a knowing smile, chuckling quietly as well. Rouge hummed in agreement, watching the father and son quietly.

Shadow… wasn't sure how to feel. His head was still a bit foggy, trying to understand everything that was going on, so it was getting rather full. "So you were gone for seven … no." Shadow's eyes narrowed as he caught Sonic 's slip, " More than seven years… How long were you gone? A decade at least ?"

"… Almost thirteen." Sonic admitted reluctantly, seeing the small curl of Shadow's fists on the tabletop. " I was gone for twelve years."

Shadow sighed, rubbing his temple slowly. "What the hell, Sonic." He mumbled. "I thought you were smarter than that."

"Hey, I'm plenty smart, thank you." The blue hedgehog countered, his own voice sharp and a bit of an edge on his words. " I was stuck as a king for twelve years and ruled pretty well, I'd like to think!"

"Stuck as a…" Shadow repeated, looking at him with a dubious look. "How did you become a king, of all people? You'd be the worst ruler I'd have thought, considering that you can barely stay still for more than five seconds, idiot."

"Well I learned to be still!" Sonic snapped back, "For years I couldn't do more than take a walk in my garden! And I was good at it!" There was a soft whimper from the bundle in his arms and then a small cry. Sonic immediately stiffened up moving the bundle of cloth to rest against his shoulder. "Oh no… Pappa's here, Galahad. Shh, Papa's here. Tu es bien, tu es bien."

There was a soft coo as the baby turned to look at Sonic, their tiny hands reaching out and grabbing at his face. "Bah."

"There you are.," Sonic laughed, "There's my beautiful baby." A soft kiss was pressed to the child's head.

Amy looked like she was about to faint. Blaze had to quickly cover her mouth to stop the soft 'awww' from escaping her lips.

Rouge already had her phone out and snapping photos of the two. "Aww! He's adorable! Aren't you, sweetheart?"

The baby squeaked happily, clapping his hands together. "Bah!" Rouge let out another coo, snapping several more pictures. "Oh my god! He's so precious!"

Sonic chuckled , " I know. He's my kid, after all." His smile didn't reached his eyes though. He looked tired. Exhausted really. Shadow frowned, recognizing the look . He saw it everytime he looked in the mirror. It was an exhausted look, one that often looked back at him. A look of weariness, a look of someone that had seen far too much. And Sonic's eyes were duller, muted, different from before.

"He's a beautiful baby." Rouge agreed, reaching out a hand to tickle the baby's chin. "You're so sweet. Yes, you are!"

"I wonder where he got all that white fur from." Blaze wondered aloud, her red eyes shifting from Sonic to the baby and back again. "If he's yours and the other Shadow's kid, he should be just as dark as the two of you are. "

Sonic shrugged, "Nimue said he'll probably darken as he gets older. But I'm not complaining. He's adorable either way." He gently poked the infant's nose, earning a giggle. "If he stays fluffy, that's great too."

"Sonic…" Shadow muttered, drawing the hedgehog's attention from his baby. "Were you happy?"

"Happy?" Sonic's ears flicked back, his confusion clear on his face before it changed to realization. "Oh, yeah… I guess that would be a question to ask."

Shadow frowned, "Are you happy?"

"I was." Sonic admitted, looking back down at his child. "I… loved him, my knight. We were happy… He was so loyal to me and devoted. Always there for me when I needed him, always a steady rock to lean on." The blue hedgehog let out a slow breath, "When we decided to have a child together, he was so excited… And then… He… He was so brave." Shadow let out a huff. Sonic never seemed to end his sentences, but Shadow was already getting the idea. " Held off … the forces that were invading, just so I could escape to here." The words were choked off, as if being ripped out of the hedgehog's throat. Shadow grimaced in sympathy, the memory of Maria's death flashing across his mind.

"I'm sorry." He muttered, looking down at the baby in Sonic's arms. "I hope he gave them hell, whoever killed him."

"He was a good man. A… great knight." The blue hedgehog swallowed hard, his throat bobbing with the effort. "His sacrifice is one I'll always remember. As will his life and devotion to me." Sonic gave a tiny grin, his eyes soft. "He was always there for me. He was… a great partner, a fantastic lover, and a wonderful husband. But I would trade it all away if I could hold him in my arms one more time. .."

Amy blew her nose , a pile of used tissues beside her. Blaze sighed, handing her another handful, which the pink hedgehog took and proceeded to blow her nose again.

Shadow shifted, and leaned forward slightly. "I'm… glad." He wasn't sure what to say, but he felt as if he owed it to Sonic, especially after the kiss. "I'm glad he made you happy, at least, before he passed. And I'm glad you were able to return here, before something happened to you too."

"Yeah." Sonic smiled at him, his expression weary and exhausted, but a smile nonetheless.

Rouge coughed, bringing attention to herself. " Well ! This has been a lovely heart-to-heart, but I think we all need a rest." She gestured to the baby in Sonic's arms, the little one yaw ning and snuggling closer to his father. "It's been a long day for all of us, but especially for them. How about we all reconvene tomorrow? Maybe we can all talk about… well, about all of this." She gestured vaguely with her free hand.

Blaze and Amy quickly agreed, both heading for Amy 's car to head home and leave Rouge, Sonic, and Shadow alone.

Shadow sighed, glancing at Sonic. "I'm going to head back home. GUN's paperwork is going to have to be done tomorrow , now that I spent most of the afternoon dealing with this."

Sonic nodded, the blue hedgehog finally pulling himself to his feet, with the baby held against his chest. "Yeah. I've… got a lot to think about."

Shadow rolled his eyes, giving Sonic a sharp look. "Obviously." He grunted, crossing his arms and glancing at Rouge. " Do you want assistance in getting home ?"

"No." She smiled and shook her head. "Omega is my ride." The robot in question stood at the doorway, "Shadow, mission complete. Secondary objective fulfilled."

"Good job," The black and red hedgehog rolled his eyes and moved towards the door. "Let's head back now. I'm exhausted." The black hedgehog sighed. Today was way too much for him to handle.

Allow me to show why, whenever the Doc attacks, he tries to stay away from Ms. Vanilla.'s house.

Hey Vanilla it is fine if Sage wants to invite her big brother for dinner at your place right? He's a robot so he can't actually eat so you don't even have to make any extra food. She's really worried about not getting to see him anymore since he disowned their dad for attacking/hurting his friends. 😥

Oh my... Yes, of course he's welcome. Anytime. A boy like that needs people around him who truly care. He's free to bring anyone he wants to, as well. Sage is like a part of our family, so he is, too. And anyone who's friends with these two is a friend of our family. I'll be sure to have a talk with that horrible man about his lack of parenting skills.

Shadowpeach Funny Headcanons:

*While Wukong is technically stronger, Macaque is the scarier and smarter of the two monkeys. (Like how Superman is stronger, but their enemies are somehow more scared of Batman...)

*The Brotherhood know this, and that's why they usually ignore Macaque; they're kinda scared of him.

*Peng insults Macaque, to prove he isn't scared of Macaque (but Peng is secretly terrified).

*Wukong isn't scared; he thinks Macaque is beautiful when he's being terrifying.

*Wukong KNOWS that Macaque was holding back on MK and MK's Friends.

*When a demon made the mistake of almost destroying MK, the Main Characters see how scary and powerful Macaque truly is, and they can see why Wukong chose Macaque as his mate! 😅

Love it, that's a lot of fun.

Eyebrows do get raised at Wukong getting mushy over Macaque going horror mode, it's okay Macaque gets mushy when Wukong gets really protective too

Someone sent me some Lansoni AI art that I feel works.

A fallen King

Camelot was burning.

Sonic swore under his breath, Galahad squirming in one arm as Lancelot's hand dragged Sonic by the other. "Lance, I've got to go back..”

"Si-Love." The dark knight, apparently unslowed by the arrow still protruding from his chest, spun around with a dark look in his eye. "For once in your life, love. Do as I tell you."

Sonic skidded to a halt, looking back over his shoulder. "My people. Our comrades. We've left everyone!"

"Yes, my love. It is…rather too late. We must live to fight another day." Lancelot's tone was matter-of-fact, even resigned. His expression was anything but. "I pray, please, live. Save our son."

"I'm not the one who's about to collapse in exhaustion." Sonic glared up at him, hoping the firmness of his tone could make up for how short he was compared to the other knight. "I'm not the one who needs to save his energy."

Lancelot gave him a weak smile.

"We'll both get through this," Sonic insisted. He glanced down at Galahad, who was sucking his thumb and staring up at him with wide eyes. "All three of us.”

"Whatever you say, my King." Lancelot smiled. "Keep it to that."

"Trust me."

Sonic kept himself close to Lancelot as they fled Camelot. His mind kept flashing back to their friends, to the other knig-

Lancelot's sudden stop yanked him out of his thoughts.

"Lance? What's wro-"

"Traitor." The snarled word told Sonic all he needed to know. Before them stood a green hawk, spinning his twin wing blades with a smirk on his face. Lamorak.

"Knew you were too smart for your own good, Lancelot." He chuckled. "Made a break for it the second you could, huh?"

"My loyalty is to the king first." Lancelot drew his sword. “You?"

"Did you know," Lamorak began, "that Gawain's an ugly crier?"

Lancelot held himself steady, his composure unbroken. Sonic didn't have the same discipline, his eyes going wide in shock.

"That Bat of his died pretty quickly. Shame, I always kinda liked her. You know," his eyes flicked between Sonic and Lancelot, "they always say that love is your strongest weapon. You should have seen Gawain. Weak little nerd was crying like a kid when his head hit the ground. Love," he chuckled again, "What bullshit. It's only there to let you down."

Sonic saw Galahad begin to squirm in his arm, a tiny fist escaping from his swaddling and reaching towards Lancelot. Tears were gathering in the small child's eyes. That broke Sonic out of his shocked stupor, pulling the toddler close to his chest and stroking Galahad's quills as he palmed a loose quill.

"What do you want?" Lancelot's voice was steel.

"Isn't it obvious? Boss man wants all three of you. Don't know why but hey, Fey." The hawk shrugged his shoulders, stilling his wing blades at his side and eyeing the two “So. Who's gonna let me drag your ass back to the castle and Infini-" He barely finished before Sonic's quill lodged itself into the back of his throat, piercing the hawk's brainstem with enough force to sever it. Sonic tugged Lancelot into a sprint, ignoring the black blood dripping from his love's chest as the hedgehog focused on running.

Running. Sprinting. Speed.

Speed was what he could do.

Sonic barely noticed Lancelot directing them, the other knight's firm grip tugging them into a side tunnel before finally coming to a stop and collapsing against the stone wall. The hedgehog paused, glancing around him to take stock. Galahad had fallen asleep, albeit fitfully, against his chest. The young hoglet's face was streaked with tears but he otherwise looked peaceful.

Lancelot was barely conscious, propped up against the stone wall.

"Lance?" Sonic reached towards his lover's shoulder. "You need rest."

"Could." Lancelot's voice was dry, exhausted. "No time. Must get you to safety." His hand blindly reached over, thumbing Sonic's cheek and chin with an unsteady hand. Sonic nuzzled into the touch.

"Lance…"

"Shh." The taller knight slowly shook his head, squeezing Sonic's cheek gently. "We both know." He took a deep breath, sighing through blood-flecked lips. "My love, I must tell you something." The older knight slowly shifted Galahad from Sonic's arms to his own, brushing the side of his son's swaddling. "This is important." The older hedgehog raised a shaking finger to his lips in a gesture of silence, looking up at Sonic with a steady gaze. "Inside his swaddling, a message for you. Read it when you are safe. Take my sword as well." Lancelot pressed Arondight’s sheath into Sonic's spare hand as he took Caliburn.

"My love. Take Galahad, and run. Run. Get him away from this kingdom. He is our son. Our love." His breathing shuddered. "Run, Sonic. Don't look back. Please, you must. Live."

"Lancelot. Don't-" His eyes were going damp, a lump building in his throat.

"Hush. Live for me." The hedgehog pulled him in for a brief kiss. "Please." He tucked Galahad into Sonic's arms. "End of tunnel. Fairy ring. Step in and think of a safe place. Love…"

A laugh drew their attention. A jackal, holding an axe over his shoulder and surrounded by a swarm of monsters, stood at the end of the tunnel. "Well, isn't that touching? Makes you wanna puke, doesn't it?"

Lancelot yanked Sonic, not only pulling the black hedgehog to his feet but also throwing his greatest treasures towards safety. "Run, my love. Run. I will hold him off."

The masked jackal threw his head back in a laugh. "Well, well. Not ready to die just yet, are you?" The monster swarm parted, letting the jackal step forward as a cocky swagger made its way into his step.

"Lancelot-" Sonic began to protest. Lancelot only smiled, giving him a final nod.

"Goodbye, my love. Give our son my love. And run." The knight turned away and drew Caliburn, pointing it at the jackal and his monsters. "And you. Jackal. Our fey blood may share ties, but your tricks are not enough. Come, now." He gave a thin chuckle, his teeth black with blood. "Let us settle this…like DRAGONS!!!"

The final word was said with a roar, as the older hedgehog shed his mortal skin for the last time. A beast, black and crimson, roared a final challenge to the monsters of the Underworld before charging the fey general. Sonic took his chance and ran, clutching Galahad to his chest as he fled, tears streaming from his cheeks. He stepped into the circle-

Tails groaned as he stared at his laptop screen as Amy and Blaze watched over his shoulder, the two of them feeling equally tired and disoriented.

"So," the fox muttered, pinching his eyes shut and giving his head a shake as if to order his thoughts. "Sonic missed your not date-"

"OUR. FRIENDSHIP. BONDING. EXPERIENCE." Amy glared at him. Blaze sighed from behind them, fighting the urge to bang her head against the wall. Tails continued on.

"-friend bonding experience. Then you called me to wake him up but I couldn't cause apparently, he vanished without a trace. And has been for 10 hours." Tails frowned. "Eggman or GUN?"

"Doubt it would be Eggman." Blaze was already scrolling through her phone. "He hasn't mobilized any forces in the past couple of days."

"I can try calling Rouge," Amy offered, already reaching for her communicator. "She would have the best idea if it was GUN."

"Thank you, Ames." Tails was already turning away, starting to gather tools and equipment on his workbench. "I've got a couple trackers on him but knowing Sonic, he's probably far enough away that-"

"We…don't have a clue." Tails admitted it sheepishly, already blushing at Amy's looming glare and the impatient twitch of Blaze's tail.

"You." The pink hedgehog frowned down at him. "You, Mr. I-have-a-gene-sequencer-in-my-shed. Don't know where to look next."

Tails gulped. "I… Well…"

"Gaia be good, at least tell me that it wasn't that nut-job Starline behind this. " The pink hedgehog glared at the yellow fox.

"No, he's been lying low since Surge hit his bunker." Tails muttered, frowning down at his Miles Electric. "But other than that, I just… don't know where to start looking!"

As the three friends tried to figure out their next step, a certain book that had been tucked back onto its bookshelf began to tremble. With short, stuttering jolts, the book began to push its way out of its shelf before tumbling to the floor. The tome's cover flipped open and the pages of the book began to stir in a non-existent wind.

Blaze twitched as a strange chill crawled up her spine. Looking away from the table the group was gathered around, her eyes scanned the room, "Does anybody else feel that… energy?"

Tails and Amy looked over at her curiously. Amy glanced at Tails, frowning slightly, "No? I don't feel anything."

"Yeah, me either, Blaze." Tail’s ears fell back as he put his Miles Electric aside on the table and stepped away. "Why? Is everything okay?"

"I thought I felt a Sol Emerald for a moment there, but that's impossible, they're back in my dimension." She stepped around the table, eyes still roaming the room, "And Sol Energy doesn't feel like this; It's not the same… sensation. It's still familiar somehow. Almost… similar to something I've felt before. Just a different power."

Her senses lead her from the table and towards the house proper, the other two following closely behind. She followed whatever it was that was calling to her until she ended up in the living room where she spotted an old, leather-bound book lying open on the floor, pages fluttering back and forth without any wind.

"What the…?"

The group carefully approached the book, with Tails moving to examine it, "That's strange… Why is this book-"

Blaze stopped him with a paw on his shoulder, "Careful."

"Why, what's wrong?" He turned to look at her, ears flattening in concern at how still Blaze was.

"Whatever this is, it's coming from that book."

Amy frowned, picking up a broomstick and using the handle to poke at the cover of the book, "This thing? It's just some weird old tome Sonic has had for years. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it back at his old place at Green Hill."

"It wouldn't have started doing this for no reason though, right?" Tails pointed out, glancing at Blaze, "So do you think that maybe…"

"Something to do with Sonic's disappearance, or a result of it. That's my best guess."

Amy let out a frustrated sigh, her grip on the broomstick tightening, "Ugh. Fine. Let's see what this stupid thing -" She squeaked as the book jumped into the air and began hovering. "What in the-?!"

Blaze grabbed Amy and pulled her behind her, summoning a fireball to her palm. Tails quickly pulled out his miles electric.

"What the heck is happening right now?" He squeaked as the pages of the book flew from the tome and began swirling in the air.

"That's what I'd like to know." Blaze growled.

The book started glowing brightly, forcing the trio to cover their eyes. When the light faded, the group was able to see that the pages of the book were now floating down to the floor. As their vision cleared, they were able to make out someone standing there, leaning on a long sword. A moment later they were able to see exactly who stood before them, it was…

"Sonic?!" Amy yelped, her eyes widening and almost popping out of her skull.

"…Sonic?" Tails mumbled, blinking as his brain came to a screeching halt. The blue hedgehog before them certainly resembled their friend in several aspects. Similar height, similar facial structure, and the same fur color. Yet there were quite a few differences as well. His attire was the biggest change, dressed in what seemed like medieval-style armor that Tails was positive Sonic had never worn. He wore a gauntlet on one hand, and his ear was also pierced with a golden loop that Amy had never seen Sonic wear.

But the most obvious thing was what was held in one arm; a child, clearly younger than a year old. A small bundle wrapped in what appeared to be purple cloth with light purple swirls.

"Sonic?" Blaze called out, letting her flames dissipate.

At the sound of their voices, the blue hedgehog stirred, eyes blinking open tiredly before looking towards them.

"…Is this a dream?" He muttered, gaze going from one person to the next. "There is no way this could be real…"

Sonic dropped the sword on the ground with a clatter and collapsed to his knees. "It can't be."

Tail's brain seemed to catch up with reality again and he jumped forward, grabbing onto Sonic's shoulders and helping the blue hedgehog steady himself.

"Sonic! Are you alright?"

Sonic glanced up at the fox and gave him a soft smile. "Tails?" His eyes then wandered past the three of them, taking in his surroundings. As his eyes caught sight of the walls of the room, he stiffened up a bit, "If this is a dream, I wish it would end. How cruel. To offer a glimpse of what could have been… to dangle a hope in front of me, but then snatch it away the moment I grab on." His voice hitched slightly as he tried to stand, stumbling again. Both Tails and Blaze rushed to keep him from falling over, "If this is one of Infinite's illusions, please! Let it end. I can't-"

"Sonic, what are you talking about?!" Amy rushed over, taking him from Blaze and guiding him to a nearby couch. "What's happened? Are you okay?!"

He shook his head, still delirious. "No. This can't be… It's just a trick. A cruel and horrid trick. Tails, Amy… Blaze…" He suddenly slumped over, body leaning forward covering the child in his arms.

"Sonic!" Amy's outburst caused the child in his arms to stir and then wake up with a loud wail. The pink hedgehog blinked, "Shit." She gently moved Sonic's arms away from the kid and pulled the small bundle into her arms, cradling the little one and hushing it soothingly, "It's okay, shh." She brushed at the kid's mane of silver-white quills, and gently rocked them back and forth. The child hiccuped as the tears started to subside, wide eyes looking up at Amy in curiosity, reaching up at her with both hands.

Amy let out a soft 'aw' in response.

"Where did… Where did the baby come from?" Tails leaned in closer, looking down at the young child as it babbled up at Amy, tiny furred hand wrapping around one of Amy's quills and tugging gently.

"It's been 24 hours for us…" Blaze mumbled, looking over the unconscious Sonic with a frown, "But apparently, a lot longer for Sonic. He seems… older, more experienced. But I wonder how long he was gone, for him?"

Tails tilted his head slightly, frowning as he considered the possibilities. "…I'll do a full scan as soon as we get him to the lab, for now-" Tails jumped a bit as the book's pages flew back into a stack before landing on the book itself, the book snapping shut before dropping on the ground with a thump. The little one in Amy's arms was instantly distracted by the sudden movement, green eyes staring over at the book with a wide-eyed look of curiosity.

"…let's just get him to the lab, I can run the tests there." The fox muttered, gathering the book under his arm and joined Blaze in carrying the unconscious hedgehog through to the hangar and to Tail’s workspace.

Tails stared at the DNA results as the two girls sat nearby, playing withthan little hoglet. His tails twitched behind him.

"Guys." Tails slowly turned away from the screen, tapping on his Miles Electric. "You need to look at this."

Blaze moved the child from her lap into Amy's arms before walking over to stand behind Tails.

"What is it?"

Tails turned the screen towards her, "DNA results. I'm no expert at biology, but the computer says the baby and Sonic have a parental relationship. Which means…"

Amy had both a look of awe and annoyance at once, "It's Sonic's kid?!"

"Yeah. Apparently, Sonic has been…gone for more than 24 hours. A lot longer, from what I can tell."

"Time dilation. Must have to do with wherever that book sent him."

"And if it sent him there, then there's no telling if this child is from… this time. Or whatever time frame he was in while he was gone."

"…Can we stop acting like there is a nuclear bomb in the room and get to the most important question!?"

The two turned towards Amy who was glaring at both of them, an accusatory finger pointed at them, "Who's the mother?!"

Blaze frowned, "Isn't that Sonic's business?"

"Like hell it is! I've spent a long time crushing on this guy, I think I deserve to know who his baby mama is!"

Tails winced, "You might not want to know…" He mumbled, pulling the second DNA result up.

"Try me!" Amy marched forward, marching past Blaze who was pinching her nose ridge at Amy's choice of words, "I can take it."

Tails spun the screen toward her, his own grim look giving way to a worried and concerned one.

Amy blinked.

Squinted. Rubbed at her eyes. Re-read. Glanced back and forth between the little baby in her arms and the sleeping blue hedgehog. Slowly turned her head towards Tails. Turned back towards Sonic. Back to Tails. Baby. Sonic. Baby. Tails. Sonic. Baby.

"…Excuse me?" Her voice went up several octaves as her eyes widened even further, a furious blush building in her cheeks. "No, wait, hold on-"

Shadow was not having a very good day. That much was obvious. First, he woke to find that Rouge had used the last of his coffee beans to make a pot for herself (she knew better than to use his special blend, but the bat did love his taste in coffee). Then he found out that the GUN supply office had messed up his supply paperwork so instead of getting an easy day of little paperwork and training, he was stuck doing double entry paperwork, explaining the situation and then trying to help fix it. Now his private comms were being blown up by frantic messages from Amy Rose, of all people.

Don't get him wrong, he didn't mind the girl but she could be… a lot. And the sheer amount of messages, along with their lack of clarity, didn't do much to help his already growing headache. But something told him, just from the sheer number of messages, that this wasn't something that she wanted to say over a comm channel.

Or Rouge was pranking him.

That could happen. It had happened. Shadow made a mental note to get his revenge on Rouge later, preferably when she couldn't retaliate. But until then…

The Ultimate Lifeform groaned and reached for his comms, taking a deep breath before flipping it open. "Amy. What is going on?"

"SHADOW!" Her voice seemed to wobble on the verge of tears, her next words a desperate plea, "Come to Tail’s place on the coastline. I-It's important!" Her comm cut out.

"…That was one way to get my attention," he muttered, looking over the horizon to where he knew the fox's coastal abode was before letting out a sigh. "Guess I better go see what the commotion is." A quick message to Commander Tower that he would be stepping away from the office to deal with an unknown Sonic related situation, and Shadow snapped his fingers for Omega's attention.

"Omega, with me. Apparently, the pink one requires our assistance."

"Mission?” The robot straightened up, the weapon system in his arms spinning as he tilted his head.

"Not sure yet. We will find out when we arrive. Tail’s place on the coast. Ready?"

The two of them took off, in a blur of black, red, and gold, kicking up a massive amount of dust in their wake. "Mission accepted. Entering escort mode."

"Less escort, more assistance." Shadow corrected. "We don't know what's waiting for us." The two of them settled into a steady pace, approaching the cliff-side workshop of the fox as the sun sank into the horizon. The Ultimate Lifeform scowled, feeling his worry deepen. Amy only acted this desperate if something was really wrong with the hedgehog, especially since he knew the annoyance had only been missing for a day. He doubted that this was a kidnapping situation. Still, he didn't want to take any chances, a sentiment echoed by Omega as the two members of team DARK landed in the driveway.

"Engaging sentry subroutines." Omega's optics whirled, the robot scanning the front door. "No heat signatures detected at primary residence, secondary location indicates five lifeforms."

"Five?" Shadow grunted. That meant Tails, the cat, Amy, Sonic, and… Omega stated it was five lifeforms.

The robot behind him hummed for a second. "Unidentified signature. Small."

Shadow frowned. "How small?"

"Infantile levels." The robot replied, "Uninteresting combat target."

"Well, that's not concerning at all," Shadow sighed, pinching his nose as the door slid open. There was a flash of pink and then a hand snagged Shadow and dragged him inside. The hedgehog yanked his arm free and glared at the pink hedgehog, who seemed to be fighting tears.

"Pleasetreathimwell-" She said in a rush, Shadow unable to decipher any of the words in her sentence. Amy sniffled and gently thrust something into his arms.

The Ultimate Lifeform looked down into green eyes that looked back up at him, with a tuft of white quills covering his forehead before he couldn't stop the words that slipped from his mouth.

"…What the actual fuck?"

"OK, let's try this again. So. You're telling me," Shadow's eyes had yet to move from the child in his arms, the small one gazing up at him with eyes wide and curious. "That the idiot vanished for less than twenty-four hours, only to return with a hoglet that is at least a year old?!"

Shadow was having a hard time believing what he was being told. Granted, he believed that it had happened, it wasn't really something they could make up if they tried. But…

"The child bears a familial relationship to Sonic, according to DNA tests." Blaze gently prodded, moving to stand beside the chair that Shadow was sitting in. The black hedgehog frowned, gently bouncing the child in his arms as its small nose twitched at him. That couldn't be right, could it? The child looked like a certain blue buffoon he had the misfortune of saving the world with on more than one occasion. But the markings were throwing him for a loop. Those… white tufts of fur weren't at all anything he had seen on a hedgehog before. And the child's markings were different from any of their group. But the eyes were too green to be anyone's other than Sonic's, and the tan on the muzzle… even if the markings were unfamiliar. That just raised questions, questions that needed answering. Shadow sighed, "Do we at least know who the mother is? Since he's apparently been gone for… how long?"

Tails rubbed the back of his neck, "A few years at the very least, judging by this guy's age. That's only considering Sonic's personal perception of time." He let out a slow sigh, "As for the mother… well…"

Amy let out a quick hiccup from behind Blaze, her hands moving to grab at the princess' shoulder and squeezing tightly. "You don't want to know…" She mumbled, voice wet and weak.

Shadow gave her a glare over the child's head, noting how the little one curled into his arms more. "Don't keep me in suspense Fox." His voice was cold, brokering no argument, "I've been patient long enough. Who is it?"

"You!" Amy wailed. "You're the mom! At least, that's what the DNA results say!"

"…Excuse me?" Shadow stared up at her, his ears slowly folding against his head as he stared down at the child in his arms. "What the hell do you mean it's me?! I can't be-"

"Well…" Tails rubbed the back of his neck, "According to the DNA test. He's definitely related to you and Sonic, so… it has to be one of you. And we know it isn't Sonic because he's male."

"I'm also male, or have you forgotten that?" Shadow rolled his eyes, still rocking the young child in his arms. "How the hell am I supposed to be the mother here?"

He glanced down at the infant in question, only to notice that the small child was not only looking up at him but seemed to be frowning at him. Shadow felt his quills slowly settle flat on his back. It was like something deep in the hedgehog's soul was stirring, itching at him in a way that was completely new to him. "Well, they are sorta cute." He muttered, his frown softening a bit.

"Yeah, and they've got your level of glares." Tails snickered, pulling his tails in closer and tapping at his Miles Electric. "How old do you think they are? Less than a year for sure, but still… They have a full head of quills…"

"…Six to nine months would be my guess." Shadow muttered, reluctantly handing the child off to Blaze who had offered her arms. She held the child expertly, far more confidently than he had. She seemed at ease with the little bundle in her arms, letting the child play with one of her fingers.

"This is certainly a strange situation. But until he wakes up, we can't really do much of anything." Blaze looked down at the child with a small, fond smile, "They are rather cute, aren't they?"

"Sonic will come around, eventually. And hopefully, when he wakes up, he'll have some answers for us." Tails gave a wide yawn, shaking his head quickly. "Man, it's been a long day. I'm beat."

Shadow's eyes narrowed at the mention of the time, looking at the clock on the wall and standing up. "I'm late. I still have paperwork to do tonight." He swore under his breath, noticing his phone going off as he spoke. He pulled it out, glancing at the caller ID and wincing. Rouge, of course it was Rouge. With a heavy sigh, the black hedgehog answered it. "Rouge. What can I do for you?"

"Let me in. I want to see the baby."

"WHAT?!" Shadow spun, hissing at the laughing bat. "How did you find out this fast?!"

She only laughed louder in response. "Oh darling, there are no secrets that I can't find, you of all people should know that. Besides, Omega's been live streaming everything to me. That baby is just the cutest thing ever!"

"The fuck Omega what is wrong with you?!" Shadow snarled, glaring over his shoulder at the robot.

Omega gave him a mechanical shrug, "Target known as Rouge the Bat is registered as family unit. Shared data when requested."

"…Fuck you both, I hate you. All of you. Including Sonic for… for whatever happened!" Shadow snapped, before glaring at the window that was sliding open, an equally smug bat on the other side. "No! No way Rouge. I am not letting you in here-"

She was already slipping in out of his grip, fluttering over the group's heads with a smirk. "Come on Shadow, why wouldn't you let your dear friend and teammate Rouge in-?"

"Oh my gosh!" Rouge's voice suddenly became high pitched and squealing, the bat descending on the bundle of cloth and white quills that Blaze held in her arms. "Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. Hi there, precious!" Rouge let out a laugh, gently caressing the infant's head with the tip of a gloved finger. Her smile turned into a full grin as she looked up at Shadow. "They have your markings, dear. Isn't that the sweetest?"

"They are Sonic's child," Shadow grunted, his eyes darting between the child and Rouge, before the corners of his lips dipped down in another frown. "What do you mean, they have my markings?"

Rouge blinked, before her gaze moved over his face and arms before looking back down at the child. "You mean… Oh, dear. Those stripes are faded, aren't they?"

"Faded?" Shadow leaned a bit closer, ignoring the snickering from Tails in the background. "What do you mean by… oh."

The patterns on the child's arms and legs, with a little effort, one could realize that they were stripes. Very, very faint and faded, but still the familiar stripe pattern that Shadow knew well.

"Oh." Shadow muttered, not knowing how to feel about the whole situation. "This is going to be a bit awkward isn't it?"

Tails was laughing and Shadow could even hear Omega's voice under the snickering. "Hysterics, current events indicate a 90 percent chance of total chaos and disaster." The bot announced, the slight warble in his voice giving away the AI's amusement.

"…Not. One. Word." The black hedgehog snarled, eyes glowing in irritation. "From any of you. Not. One. Single. Word."

He would figure this out, and when he did, he would deal with it accordingly. Starting with murdering a certain blue buffoon who was currently still out cold in the medical bay. Shadow didn't care where he had gone, or what had happened. This was all Sonic's fault. He just knew it. It was always Sonic's fault. Or Eggman's. And this had way too much Sonic in it to be Eggman's doing.

There was going to be a dead hedgehog after Shadow got through with him. That was a promise.

[dragolord19delta]

A fallen King

Camelot was burning.

Sonic swore under his breath, Galahad squirming in one arm as Lancelot's hand dragged Sonic by the other. "Lance, I've got to go back..”

"Si-Love." The dark knight, apparently unslowed by the arrow still protruding from his chest, spun around with a dark look in his eye. "For once in your life, love. Do as I tell you."

Sonic skidded to a halt, looking back over his shoulder. "My people. Our comrades. We've left everyone!"

"Yes, my love. It is…rather too late. We must live to fight another day." Lancelot's tone was matter-of-fact, even resigned. His expression was anything but. "I pray, please, live. Save our son."

"I'm not the one who's about to collapse in exhaustion." Sonic glared up at him, hoping the firmness of his tone could make up for how short he was compared to the other knight. "I'm not the one who needs to save his energy."

Lancelot gave him a weak smile.

"We'll both get through this," Sonic insisted. He glanced down at Galahad, who was sucking his thumb and staring up at him with wide eyes. "All three of us.”

"Whatever you say, my King." Lancelot smiled. "Keep it to that."

"Trust me."

Sonic kept himself close to Lancelot as they fled Camelot. His mind kept flashing back to their friends, to the other knig-

Lancelot's sudden stop yanked him out of his thoughts.

"Lance? What's wro-"

"Traitor." The snarled word told Sonic all he needed to know. Before them stood a green hawk, spinning his twin wing blades with a smirk on his face. Lamorak.

"Knew you were too smart for your own good, Lancelot." He chuckled. "Made a break for it the second you could, huh?"

"My loyalty is to the king first." Lancelot drew his sword. “You?"

"Did you know," Lamorak began, "that Gawain's an ugly crier?"

Lancelot held himself steady, his composure unbroken. Sonic didn't have the same discipline, his eyes going wide in shock.

"That Bat of his died pretty quickly. Shame, I always kinda liked her. You know," his eyes flicked between Sonic and Lancelot, "they always say that love is your strongest weapon. You should have seen Gawain. Weak little nerd was crying like a kid when his head hit the ground. Love," he chuckled again, "What bullshit. It's only there to let you down."

Sonic saw Galahad begin to squirm in his arm, a tiny fist escaping from his swaddling and reaching towards Lancelot. Tears were gathering in the small child's eyes. That broke Sonic out of his shocked stupor, pulling the toddler close to his chest and stroking Galahad's quills as he palmed a loose quill.

"What do you want?" Lancelot's voice was steel.

"Isn't it obvious? Boss man wants all three of you. Don't know why but hey, Fey." The hawk shrugged his shoulders, stilling his wing blades at his side and eyeing the two “So. Who's gonna let me drag your ass back to the castle and Infini-" He barely finished before Sonic's quill lodged itself into the back of his throat, piercing the hawk's brainstem with enough force to sever it. Sonic tugged Lancelot into a sprint, ignoring the black blood dripping from his love's chest as the hedgehog focused on running.

Running. Sprinting. Speed.

Speed was what he could do.

Sonic barely noticed Lancelot directing them, the other knight's firm grip tugging them into a side tunnel before finally coming to a stop and collapsing against the stone wall. The hedgehog paused, glancing around him to take stock. Galahad had fallen asleep, albeit fitfully, against his chest. The young hoglet's face was streaked with tears but he otherwise looked peaceful.

Lancelot was barely conscious, propped up against the stone wall.

"Lance?" Sonic reached towards his lover's shoulder. "You need rest."

"Could." Lancelot's voice was dry, exhausted. "No time. Must get you to safety." His hand blindly reached over, thumbing Sonic's cheek and chin with an unsteady hand. Sonic nuzzled into the touch.

"Lance…"

"Shh." The taller knight slowly shook his head, squeezing Sonic's cheek gently. "We both know." He took a deep breath, sighing through blood-flecked lips. "My love, I must tell you something." The older knight slowly shifted Galahad from Sonic's arms to his own, brushing the side of his son's swaddling. "This is important." The older hedgehog raised a shaking finger to his lips in a gesture of silence, looking up at Sonic with a steady gaze. "Inside his swaddling, a message for you. Read it when you are safe. Take my sword as well." Lancelot pressed Arondight’s sheath into Sonic's spare hand as he took Caliburn.

"My love. Take Galahad, and run. Run. Get him away from this kingdom. He is our son. Our love." His breathing shuddered. "Run, Sonic. Don't look back. Please, you must. Live."

"Lancelot. Don't-" His eyes were going damp, a lump building in his throat.

"Hush. Live for me." The hedgehog pulled him in for a brief kiss. "Please." He tucked Galahad into Sonic's arms. "End of tunnel. Fairy ring. Step in and think of a safe place. Love…"

A laugh drew their attention. A jackal, holding an axe over his shoulder and surrounded by a swarm of monsters, stood at the end of the tunnel. "Well, isn't that touching? Makes you wanna puke, doesn't it?"

Lancelot yanked Sonic, not only pulling the black hedgehog to his feet but also throwing his greatest treasures towards safety. "Run, my love. Run. I will hold him off."

The masked jackal threw his head back in a laugh. "Well, well. Not ready to die just yet, are you?" The monster swarm parted, letting the jackal step forward as a cocky swagger made its way into his step.

"Lancelot-" Sonic began to protest. Lancelot only smiled, giving him a final nod.

"Goodbye, my love. Give our son my love. And run." The knight turned away and drew Caliburn, pointing it at the jackal and his monsters. "And you. Jackal. Our fey blood may share ties, but your tricks are not enough. Come, now." He gave a thin chuckle, his teeth black with blood. "Let us settle this…like DRAGONS!!!"

The final word was said with a roar, as the older hedgehog shed his mortal skin for the last time. A beast, black and crimson, roared a final challenge to the monsters of the Underworld before charging the fey general. Sonic took his chance and ran, clutching Galahad to his chest as he fled, tears streaming from his cheeks. He stepped into the circle-

Tails groaned as he stared at his laptop screen as Amy and Blaze watched over his shoulder, the two of them feeling equally tired and disoriented.

"So," the fox muttered, pinching his eyes shut and giving his head a shake as if to order his thoughts. "Sonic missed your not date-"

"OUR. FRIENDSHIP. BONDING. EXPERIENCE." Amy glared at him. Blaze sighed from behind them, fighting the urge to bang her head against the wall. Tails continued on.

"-friend bonding experience. Then you called me to wake him up but I couldn't cause apparently, he vanished without a trace. And has been for 10 hours." Tails frowned. "Eggman or GUN?"

"Doubt it would be Eggman." Blaze was already scrolling through her phone. "He hasn't mobilized any forces in the past couple of days."

"I can try calling Rouge," Amy offered, already reaching for her communicator. "She would have the best idea if it was GUN."

"Thank you, Ames." Tails was already turning away, starting to gather tools and equipment on his workbench. "I've got a couple trackers on him but knowing Sonic, he's probably far enough away that-"

"We…don't have a clue." Tails admitted it sheepishly, already blushing at Amy's looming glare and the impatient twitch of Blaze's tail.

"You." The pink hedgehog frowned down at him. "You, Mr. I-have-a-gene-sequencer-in-my-shed. Don't know where to look next."

Tails gulped. "I… Well…"

"Gaia be good, at least tell me that it wasn't that nut-job Starline behind this. " The pink hedgehog glared at the yellow fox.

"No, he's been lying low since Surge hit his bunker." Tails muttered, frowning down at his Miles Electric. "But other than that, I just… don't know where to start looking!"

As the three friends tried to figure out their next step, a certain book that had been tucked back onto its bookshelf began to tremble. With short, stuttering jolts, the book began to push its way out of its shelf before tumbling to the floor. The tome's cover flipped open and the pages of the book began to stir in a non-existent wind.

Blaze twitched as a strange chill crawled up her spine. Looking away from the table the group was gathered around, her eyes scanned the room, "Does anybody else feel that… energy?"

Tails and Amy looked over at her curiously. Amy glanced at Tails, frowning slightly, "No? I don't feel anything."

"Yeah, me either, Blaze." Tail’s ears fell back as he put his Miles Electric aside on the table and stepped away. "Why? Is everything okay?"

"I thought I felt a Sol Emerald for a moment there, but that's impossible, they're back in my dimension." She stepped around the table, eyes still roaming the room, "And Sol Energy doesn't feel like this; It's not the same… sensation. It's still familiar somehow. Almost… similar to something I've felt before. Just a different power."

Her senses lead her from the table and towards the house proper, the other two following closely behind. She followed whatever it was that was calling to her until she ended up in the living room where she spotted an old, leather-bound book lying open on the floor, pages fluttering back and forth without any wind.

"What the…?"

The group carefully approached the book, with Tails moving to examine it, "That's strange… Why is this book-"

Blaze stopped him with a paw on his shoulder, "Careful."

"Why, what's wrong?" He turned to look at her, ears flattening in concern at how still Blaze was.

"Whatever this is, it's coming from that book."

Amy frowned, picking up a broomstick and using the handle to poke at the cover of the book, "This thing? It's just some weird old tome Sonic has had for years. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it back at his old place at Green Hill."

"It wouldn't have started doing this for no reason though, right?" Tails pointed out, glancing at Blaze, "So do you think that maybe…"

"Something to do with Sonic's disappearance, or a result of it. That's my best guess."

Amy let out a frustrated sigh, her grip on the broomstick tightening, "Ugh. Fine. Let's see what this stupid thing -" She squeaked as the book jumped into the air and began hovering. "What in the-?!"

Blaze grabbed Amy and pulled her behind her, summoning a fireball to her palm. Tails quickly pulled out his miles electric.

"What the heck is happening right now?" He squeaked as the pages of the book flew from the tome and began swirling in the air.

"That's what I'd like to know." Blaze growled.

The book started glowing brightly, forcing the trio to cover their eyes. When the light faded, the group was able to see that the pages of the book were now floating down to the floor. As their vision cleared, they were able to make out someone standing there, leaning on a long sword. A moment later they were able to see exactly who stood before them, it was…

"Sonic?!" Amy yelped, her eyes widening and almost popping out of her skull.

"…Sonic?" Tails mumbled, blinking as his brain came to a screeching halt. The blue hedgehog before them certainly resembled their friend in several aspects. Similar height, similar facial structure, and the same fur color. Yet there were quite a few differences as well. His attire was the biggest change, dressed in what seemed like medieval-style armor that Tails was positive Sonic had never worn. He wore a gauntlet on one hand, and his ear was also pierced with a golden loop that Amy had never seen Sonic wear.

But the most obvious thing was what was held in one arm; a child, clearly younger than a year old. A small bundle wrapped in what appeared to be purple cloth with light purple swirls.

"Sonic?" Blaze called out, letting her flames dissipate.

At the sound of their voices, the blue hedgehog stirred, eyes blinking open tiredly before looking towards them.

"…Is this a dream?" He muttered, gaze going from one person to the next. "There is no way this could be real…"

Sonic dropped the sword on the ground with a clatter and collapsed to his knees. "It can't be."

Tail's brain seemed to catch up with reality again and he jumped forward, grabbing onto Sonic's shoulders and helping the blue hedgehog steady himself.

"Sonic! Are you alright?"

Sonic glanced up at the fox and gave him a soft smile. "Tails?" His eyes then wandered past the three of them, taking in his surroundings. As his eyes caught sight of the walls of the room, he stiffened up a bit, "If this is a dream, I wish it would end. How cruel. To offer a glimpse of what could have been… to dangle a hope in front of me, but then snatch it away the moment I grab on." His voice hitched slightly as he tried to stand, stumbling again. Both Tails and Blaze rushed to keep him from falling over, "If this is one of Infinite's illusions, please! Let it end. I can't-"

"Sonic, what are you talking about?!" Amy rushed over, taking him from Blaze and guiding him to a nearby couch. "What's happened? Are you okay?!"

He shook his head, still delirious. "No. This can't be… It's just a trick. A cruel and horrid trick. Tails, Amy… Blaze…" He suddenly slumped over, body leaning forward covering the child in his arms.

"Sonic!" Amy's outburst caused the child in his arms to stir and then wake up with a loud wail. The pink hedgehog blinked, "Shit." She gently moved Sonic's arms away from the kid and pulled the small bundle into her arms, cradling the little one and hushing it soothingly, "It's okay, shh." She brushed at the kid's mane of silver-white quills, and gently rocked them back and forth. The child hiccuped as the tears started to subside, wide eyes looking up at Amy in curiosity, reaching up at her with both hands.

Amy let out a soft 'aw' in response.

"Where did… Where did the baby come from?" Tails leaned in closer, looking down at the young child as it babbled up at Amy, tiny furred hand wrapping around one of Amy's quills and tugging gently.

"It's been 24 hours for us…" Blaze mumbled, looking over the unconscious Sonic with a frown, "But apparently, a lot longer for Sonic. He seems… older, more experienced. But I wonder how long he was gone, for him?"

Tails tilted his head slightly, frowning as he considered the possibilities. "…I'll do a full scan as soon as we get him to the lab, for now-" Tails jumped a bit as the book's pages flew back into a stack before landing on the book itself, the book snapping shut before dropping on the ground with a thump. The little one in Amy's arms was instantly distracted by the sudden movement, green eyes staring over at the book with a wide-eyed look of curiosity.

"…let's just get him to the lab, I can run the tests there." The fox muttered, gathering the book under his arm and joined Blaze in carrying the unconscious hedgehog through to the hangar and to Tail’s workspace.

Tails stared at the DNA results as the two girls sat nearby, playing withthan little hoglet. His tails twitched behind him.

"Guys." Tails slowly turned away from the screen, tapping on his Miles Electric. "You need to look at this."

Blaze moved the child from her lap into Amy's arms before walking over to stand behind Tails.

"What is it?"

Tails turned the screen towards her, "DNA results. I'm no expert at biology, but the computer says the baby and Sonic have a parental relationship. Which means…"

Amy had both a look of awe and annoyance at once, "It's Sonic's kid?!"

"Yeah. Apparently, Sonic has been…gone for more than 24 hours. A lot longer, from what I can tell."

"Time dilation. Must have to do with wherever that book sent him."

"And if it sent him there, then there's no telling if this child is from… this time. Or whatever time frame he was in while he was gone."

"…Can we stop acting like there is a nuclear bomb in the room and get to the most important question!?"

The two turned towards Amy who was glaring at both of them, an accusatory finger pointed at them, "Who's the mother?!"

Blaze frowned, "Isn't that Sonic's business?"

"Like hell it is! I've spent a long time crushing on this guy, I think I deserve to know who his baby mama is!"

Tails winced, "You might not want to know…" He mumbled, pulling the second DNA result up.

"Try me!" Amy marched forward, marching past Blaze who was pinching her nose ridge at Amy's choice of words, "I can take it."

Tails spun the screen toward her, his own grim look giving way to a worried and concerned one.

Amy blinked.

Squinted. Rubbed at her eyes. Re-read. Glanced back and forth between the little baby in her arms and the sleeping blue hedgehog. Slowly turned her head towards Tails. Turned back towards Sonic. Back to Tails. Baby. Sonic. Baby. Tails. Sonic. Baby.

"…Excuse me?" Her voice went up several octaves as her eyes widened even further, a furious blush building in her cheeks. "No, wait, hold on-"

Shadow was not having a very good day. That much was obvious. First, he woke to find that Rouge had used the last of his coffee beans to make a pot for herself (she knew better than to use his special blend, but the bat did love his taste in coffee). Then he found out that the GUN supply office had messed up his supply paperwork so instead of getting an easy day of little paperwork and training, he was stuck doing double entry paperwork, explaining the situation and then trying to help fix it. Now his private comms were being blown up by frantic messages from Amy Rose, of all people.

Don't get him wrong, he didn't mind the girl but she could be… a lot. And the sheer amount of messages, along with their lack of clarity, didn't do much to help his already growing headache. But something told him, just from the sheer number of messages, that this wasn't something that she wanted to say over a comm channel.

Or Rouge was pranking him.

That could happen. It had happened. Shadow made a mental note to get his revenge on Rouge later, preferably when she couldn't retaliate. But until then…

The Ultimate Lifeform groaned and reached for his comms, taking a deep breath before flipping it open. "Amy. What is going on?"

"SHADOW!" Her voice seemed to wobble on the verge of tears, her next words a desperate plea, "Come to Tail’s place on the coastline. I-It's important!" Her comm cut out.

"…That was one way to get my attention," he muttered, looking over the horizon to where he knew the fox's coastal abode was before letting out a sigh. "Guess I better go see what the commotion is." A quick message to Commander Tower that he would be stepping away from the office to deal with an unknown Sonic related situation, and Shadow snapped his fingers for Omega's attention.

"Omega, with me. Apparently, the pink one requires our assistance."

"Mission?” The robot straightened up, the weapon system in his arms spinning as he tilted his head.

"Not sure yet. We will find out when we arrive. Tail’s place on the coast. Ready?"

The two of them took off, in a blur of black, red, and gold, kicking up a massive amount of dust in their wake. "Mission accepted. Entering escort mode."

"Less escort, more assistance." Shadow corrected. "We don't know what's waiting for us." The two of them settled into a steady pace, approaching the cliff-side workshop of the fox as the sun sank into the horizon. The Ultimate Lifeform scowled, feeling his worry deepen. Amy only acted this desperate if something was really wrong with the hedgehog, especially since he knew the annoyance had only been missing for a day. He doubted that this was a kidnapping situation. Still, he didn't want to take any chances, a sentiment echoed by Omega as the two members of team DARK landed in the driveway.

"Engaging sentry subroutines." Omega's optics whirled, the robot scanning the front door. "No heat signatures detected at primary residence, secondary location indicates five lifeforms."

"Five?" Shadow grunted. That meant Tails, the cat, Amy, Sonic, and… Omega stated it was five lifeforms.

The robot behind him hummed for a second. "Unidentified signature. Small."

Shadow frowned. "How small?"

"Infantile levels." The robot replied, "Uninteresting combat target."

"Well, that's not concerning at all," Shadow sighed, pinching his nose as the door slid open. There was a flash of pink and then a hand snagged Shadow and dragged him inside. The hedgehog yanked his arm free and glared at the pink hedgehog, who seemed to be fighting tears.

"Pleasetreathimwell-" She said in a rush, Shadow unable to decipher any of the words in her sentence. Amy sniffled and gently thrust something into his arms.

The Ultimate Lifeform looked down into green eyes that looked back up at him, with a tuft of white quills covering his forehead before he couldn't stop the words that slipped from his mouth.

"…What the actual fuck?"

"OK, let's try this again. So. You're telling me," Shadow's eyes had yet to move from the child in his arms, the small one gazing up at him with eyes wide and curious. "That the idiot vanished for less than twenty-four hours, only to return with a hoglet that is at least a year old?!"

Shadow was having a hard time believing what he was being told. Granted, he believed that it had happened, it wasn't really something they could make up if they tried. But…

"The child bears a familial relationship to Sonic, according to DNA tests." Blaze gently prodded, moving to stand beside the chair that Shadow was sitting in. The black hedgehog frowned, gently bouncing the child in his arms as its small nose twitched at him. That couldn't be right, could it? The child looked like a certain blue buffoon he had the misfortune of saving the world with on more than one occasion. But the markings were throwing him for a loop. Those… white tufts of fur weren't at all anything he had seen on a hedgehog before. And the child's markings were different from any of their group. But the eyes were too green to be anyone's other than Sonic's, and the tan on the muzzle… even if the markings were unfamiliar. That just raised questions, questions that needed answering. Shadow sighed, "Do we at least know who the mother is? Since he's apparently been gone for… how long?"

Tails rubbed the back of his neck, "A few years at the very least, judging by this guy's age. That's only considering Sonic's personal perception of time." He let out a slow sigh, "As for the mother… well…"

Amy let out a quick hiccup from behind Blaze, her hands moving to grab at the princess' shoulder and squeezing tightly. "You don't want to know…" She mumbled, voice wet and weak.

Shadow gave her a glare over the child's head, noting how the little one curled into his arms more. "Don't keep me in suspense Fox." His voice was cold, brokering no argument, "I've been patient long enough. Who is it?"

"You!" Amy wailed. "You're the mom! At least, that's what the DNA results say!"

"…Excuse me?" Shadow stared up at her, his ears slowly folding against his head as he stared down at the child in his arms. "What the hell do you mean it's me?! I can't be-"

"Well…" Tails rubbed the back of his neck, "According to the DNA test. He's definitely related to you and Sonic, so… it has to be one of you. And we know it isn't Sonic because he's male."

"I'm also male, or have you forgotten that?" Shadow rolled his eyes, still rocking the young child in his arms. "How the hell am I supposed to be the mother here?"

He glanced down at the infant in question, only to notice that the small child was not only looking up at him but seemed to be frowning at him. Shadow felt his quills slowly settle flat on his back. It was like something deep in the hedgehog's soul was stirring, itching at him in a way that was completely new to him. "Well, they are sorta cute." He muttered, his frown softening a bit.

"Yeah, and they've got your level of glares." Tails snickered, pulling his tails in closer and tapping at his Miles Electric. "How old do you think they are? Less than a year for sure, but still… They have a full head of quills…"

"…Six to nine months would be my guess." Shadow muttered, reluctantly handing the child off to Blaze who had offered her arms. She held the child expertly, far more confidently than he had. She seemed at ease with the little bundle in her arms, letting the child play with one of her fingers.

"This is certainly a strange situation. But until he wakes up, we can't really do much of anything." Blaze looked down at the child with a small, fond smile, "They are rather cute, aren't they?"

"Sonic will come around, eventually. And hopefully, when he wakes up, he'll have some answers for us." Tails gave a wide yawn, shaking his head quickly. "Man, it's been a long day. I'm beat."

Shadow's eyes narrowed at the mention of the time, looking at the clock on the wall and standing up. "I'm late. I still have paperwork to do tonight." He swore under his breath, noticing his phone going off as he spoke. He pulled it out, glancing at the caller ID and wincing. Rouge, of course it was Rouge. With a heavy sigh, the black hedgehog answered it. "Rouge. What can I do for you?"

"Let me in. I want to see the baby."

"WHAT?!" Shadow spun, hissing at the laughing bat. "How did you find out this fast?!"

She only laughed louder in response. "Oh darling, there are no secrets that I can't find, you of all people should know that. Besides, Omega's been live streaming everything to me. That baby is just the cutest thing ever!"

"The fuck Omega what is wrong with you?!" Shadow snarled, glaring over his shoulder at the robot.

Omega gave him a mechanical shrug, "Target known as Rouge the Bat is registered as family unit. Shared data when requested."

"…Fuck you both, I hate you. All of you. Including Sonic for… for whatever happened!" Shadow snapped, before glaring at the window that was sliding open, an equally smug bat on the other side. "No! No way Rouge. I am not letting you in here-"

She was already slipping in out of his grip, fluttering over the group's heads with a smirk. "Come on Shadow, why wouldn't you let your dear friend and teammate Rouge in-?"

"Oh my gosh!" Rouge's voice suddenly became high pitched and squealing, the bat descending on the bundle of cloth and white quills that Blaze held in her arms. "Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. Hi there, precious!" Rouge let out a laugh, gently caressing the infant's head with the tip of a gloved finger. Her smile turned into a full grin as she looked up at Shadow. "They have your markings, dear. Isn't that the sweetest?"

"They are Sonic's child," Shadow grunted, his eyes darting between the child and Rouge, before the corners of his lips dipped down in another frown. "What do you mean, they have my markings?"

Rouge blinked, before her gaze moved over his face and arms before looking back down at the child. "You mean… Oh, dear. Those stripes are faded, aren't they?"

"Faded?" Shadow leaned a bit closer, ignoring the snickering from Tails in the background. "What do you mean by… oh."

The patterns on the child's arms and legs, with a little effort, one could realize that they were stripes. Very, very faint and faded, but still the familiar stripe pattern that Shadow knew well.

"Oh." Shadow muttered, not knowing how to feel about the whole situation. "This is going to be a bit awkward isn't it?"

Tails was laughing and Shadow could even hear Omega's voice under the snickering. "Hysterics, current events indicate a 90 percent chance of total chaos and disaster." The bot announced, the slight warble in his voice giving away the AI's amusement.

"…Not. One. Word." The black hedgehog snarled, eyes glowing in irritation. "From any of you. Not. One. Single. Word."

He would figure this out, and when he did, he would deal with it accordingly. Starting with murdering a certain blue buffoon who was currently still out cold in the medical bay. Shadow didn't care where he had gone, or what had happened. This was all Sonic's fault. He just knew it. It was always Sonic's fault. Or Eggman's. And this had way too much Sonic in it to be Eggman's doing.

There was going to be a dead hedgehog after Shadow got through with him. That was a promise.

Sonic, ask Shadow about his “punishment” from me for trying to leave.

Don’t worry Shadow I know I’m still your favorite despite all that pain. You’ll be forever sympathetic to women haha.

I'm already sympathetic to women. I had a sister. Do you know who it was who helped her find a doctor when she got her first period? Me. Neither of us knew what was going on. Do you know who had to be the one she complained to about the horrible details of it all and how awful it was? Me. I'm the one who got her what she needed when that time came around and snuck her chocolate when she wasn't supposed to be having caffeine. If anyone understands, it's me. But now ..... I don't just sympathize. How do you put up with that..??

Put up with what?

Menstrual cramps.

...which is..?

Period cramps, dumbass.

Ohhh. Why didn't you just say that? So like, it hurts?

Wha- Yes it hurts!

Ohh.. didn't uh.. didn't know that.

Some of your best friends are women. How do you not know??

Because they don't have those conversations with me..?? And what punishment is she talking about?

..ah. um... She was upset with me for uh... Moving out of our room. So she gave me her cramps.

Women can do that??

... apparently.. be cautious around Amy.

Will do..

well... I don't know if you'll approve of this but I may have wrote a bit of something for your Grease Monkey AU @quitealotofsodapop

***

Wu was under one of his lifts, trying to figure out how Ms. Wuchen had tangled wire around her rear axle just enough to hear it but not destroy it when his aura sense prickled along his neck. The hidden king of Flower Fruit Mountain acted like he hadn't sensed the intruder but his free hand drifted to his cane. While it was a disguise (He totally didn't lean on it more than needed on the days his leg felt that hound's teeth sinking into it again because he was getting old) it was also a perfectly good weapon. And if Wu's suspicion was wrong, he was just an old mechanic with a walking stick. Harmless. But when the smell of evenings of his former home and plums reached his nose Wu felt his soul flicker with an odd mix of hope and despair. There was only one being he knew of who carried that scent and Wu didn't know what it meant if he was right. So he took a deep breath and rose to his feet to face his intruder. The sight that greeted him made Wu's breath catch in his throat. There stood his missing heart. The Six-Eared Macaque had his arms crossed and eyes locked on Wu's face with a glare that could send demons fleeing. "Where were you?!" he demanded, "Leaving that boy to fight your battles?! You should be ashamed." Wu… No, he would have to be Wukong again if Macaque was going to be like that. He glared back and bit back, "How did you know I was even here?" Macaque scoffed, "Please. Like anything could keep me from knowing exactly where you are. It's a matter of pride at this point." Wukong winced at that, the old guilt for killing… his heart twisted and made him speak less harshly than he had planned. "If it is a matter of pride you should know my reasonings as well. I am not who I once was and never will be again." He bent down and snagged his walking stick, the laughing monkey carving at the top smiling at him. He didn't need it and he knew that. But his heart was pounding with the thought that this was real, this was actually happening and he couldn't risk being unprepared. But the look it received from Macaque was one of confusion and the way his head tilted to the side and tail swished behind him almost painfully nostalgic to the Monkey King. Wukong wondered when was the last time Macaque let down his guard enough to show how he was really feeling? "…What happened?" Lui'er Mihou's tone had softened and there was genuine concern in his face, "This isn't like you. And the boy was so worried that the Spider Queen had found you… What happened?" Wukong took a deep breath and then turned to walk towards his apartment above the shop. "I'm not going to have this conversation here. Too open." Macaque followed silently and Wukong knew his heart's eyes were on his walking stick. He didn't want to do this but there was no other option. He had to tell the truth or risk losing what little chance he had of making up for killing his own heart. And if his heart hated him… The Monkey King could deal with that. As long as Macaque was alive, he could handle the monkey hating him.

So Wukong rarely fights in grease monkey, and we discussed a possible reason for why he prefers slightly over fight nowadays rather than simply fighting whoever off and then running off like he used to when he was younger that goes bwyond him simoly being cowardly. And it's a reason that goes all the way back to the Journey! He's lame.

By that, I mean he has an old injury that never healed properly, and it interferes with his ability to fight and even run at time. An old leg injury, making it so that standing for long periods of time or running and jumping about like, well, a monkey can cause considerable pain. This is why, on the journey, he'd often be seen flying on his nimbus cloud. It was his way of keeping unnecessary weight off hus leg and simultaneously hiding his handicap from his fellow Pilgrims by appearing lazy. In modern day the Noodle Gang is aware of the injury, but not to the extend it affect their "Uncle Wu" or the fact it's anything more than jsut a cool scar

Specifically; its the bite wound he got during his fight with Erlang Shen - inflicted by Xiaotian Quan as the hound held him still for her master and Lao Tzu to capture. Quan might not have been aware at the time, but the bite wound she gave Wukong was pretty gnarly - and the monkey's body was a lot more focused on healing from a number of failed executions + the Furnace to pay attention to a single dog bite.

He's tried to remove the leg entirely to regenerate a new one - but it seems that the crushing dog bite injury is permanent.

Since demons tend to have pretty harsh opinions on physical strength, Wukong didn't want to seem weak for his injury. So in his mind, it was better to look lazy, resting on his nimbus rather than "weak" and giving his bad leg a rest. This injury is part of the reason he decided to retire. In Grease Monkey, this complex runs even deeper.

As a mechanic in Grease Monkey, or as a nurse/pharmacist in other AUs, Wukong doesn't have to do much on his feet. Lifts, car creepers, elevators, and the like; make it a lot easier for him to avoid hurting his bad leg.

He does not like people knowing he has a bad leg. What sort of demon king would he look like?

Except his little troop of course. MK and Mei assume dear Uncle Wu got bit by a dog once and the leg never healed right afterwards. The kids know to help him with retrieving tools and such so he isn't getting up and down from his seat/car creeper too much.

The only thing that would be better is if it was reversed.
