Mini Fanfic #1159: The Arrival of Team Dark Pt. 1 (and Knuckles) (Sonic X SSBU)

1:03 p.m. Outside of the NDC's Airport........

Rouge: (Walks Out of the Rouge Carrying her Purse While Inhaling and Then Exhaling a Bit of the City Air) New Donky City. At last, we finally meet~

Shadow: (Walks Out of the Airport While Carrying a Duffle Bag) It looks bigger than I pictured it being.

Omega: (Walks Out of the Airport Carrying Two Sets of Packing Bags in his Mechanical Hands) The land area of the city is approximately 469 square miles, including 304 square miles of land and 165 square miles of water.

Knuckles: (Walks Out of the Airport Carrying a Mini Book Guide) Yeah, and apparently, it was named after DK's grandfather who originally went with that name during his prime time. (Shows the Trio a Picture of the Original Donkey Kong Angrily Throwing a Barrel with a Blonde Woman Standing Slightly Behind Him Horrified)

Rouge: (Forms a Bit of a Teasing Smirk on her Face) Well, look at you taking the time to learn new things!~ Enjoying your new book of yours, hon?

Knuckles: (Shrugs) It's average. But the sooner I get over that lady and her bratty kid, the better.

Flashback on the Plane

Kid: (Kicking the Back of Knuckles' Seat While Screaming) GIMME CANDY! GIMME CANDY! GIMME CANDY! GIMME CANDY! I. WANT. CANDYYYYYYYYY-

Knuckles: (Quickly Looks Back at the Kid with a Very Vicious Glare on his Face) ZIP IT, TWERP!

The rude child finally ceases his yelling and kicking immediately....Only for his eyes to water not too long before he starts letting out even louder cry, mich to the echidna's continuous discomfort.

Knuckles: (Groans While Moving his Head Back to his Seat) Swear, I can't have ANYTHING he- ('WACK') AGH! (Suddenly Felt Something Hit Him on the Top of his Head Before Turning Back Around) What the- (Gets Repeatedly Hit in the Head with a Purse by the Kid's Mother)

Mother: You. Do not. Get. To. Yell. At. My. Own. Child. In this. Plane. Do you. Understand. ME!? HUH!?

End of Flashback

Knuckles: If knew a plane ride would be this irritating, I would've glide here myself.

Shadow: (Rolls his Eyesa Bit) Assuming you would have any I where to go....

Knuckles: (Scoffs While Crossing his Arms) Please. I would've havd plenty ideas no problem. All I have to do is use that GPS thing on my phone and I'll be golden.

Shadow: (Raises an Eyebrow) Do you know how to use it?

Knuckles: Well.....No. Not yet. But little learning won't hurt and at least it'll be leagues better than having people keep bugging me on the plane.

Shadow: How about I get you noise canceling airpods for Christmas this year instead? It'll save me the trouble of thinking of getting you anything else.

Omega: I will give you custom winter theme ear muffs for substitutional back-up.

Knuckles: Really don't have to do that for me, you guys, but.....(Shrugs While Blushing a Bit) Thanks , I guess.

Rouge: D'aww~ (Playfully Pulling on Knuckles' Cheek) Is my Knuckie getting flustered already?~

Knuckles: (Gently Swats Rouge's Hand Off his Cheek) Shut up. I'm only like this cause I'm feeling hot right now.

Shadow: How could you be hot in the winter time?

Omega: The actual outdoor temperature is current 50.6 Degrees Ferin-

Knuckles: Okay, okay, I got it! Can we find something to so in this city already!?

Rouge: (Forms a Cheeky Smirk on her Face) I know what we could do first~

Knuckles: (Already Doesn't Like the Look in his Girlfriend's Eyes) Oh, please don't tell me....

Rouge: (Happily Extends her Arms Outin the Air) Shopping!~

Shadow: (Rolls his Eyes Some More) Of course......

Omega: (Already Has a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Zero hint of surprise detected.

Knuckles: Do we have to do that first? I'm starving here.

Rouge: We'll head straight to the food court once we're done. (Playfully Pats on her Boyfriend's Stomach) Don't worry your cute little head and tums~

Knuckles: (Glares at his Girlfriend while Blushing) My stomach ain't a patting spot, Woman!

Rouge: (Giggles Softly While Moving her Hand Away From Knuckles' Stomach)

Shadow: You two can go on ahead. Omega and I will look around and find the Smash Family a place for us to stay at for the rest of the vacation. Just try not spend too much in there.

Rouge: (Rolls her Eyes a Little) Whatever you say, dad.

Shadow: (Glares at Rouge) Quit calling me that!

Rouge: (Uses her Wings to Hover in the Air While Carrying Knuckles' Hand) Stop acting like a responsible old fart and maybe I'll reconsider. (Turns to her Boyfriend) Come, Knuckie. Times are wasting~

Knuckles: (Could Hardly Comprehend What's Going on Here) Hey, wait a minute-

Rouge quickly herself and Knuckles to a nearby mall, leaving the rest of the Team Dark members behind.

Shadow: (Crosses his Arms) ('Hmph') Not that old.....(Turns to Omega) Am I?

Few Minutes Later at the Metro Grand Mall Center......

'Ding'

Cashier: Thank you come again!~

Rouge: (Happily Walks Away From the Cash Register in the Shoe Store) Man, I cannot tell you how long it's been since I've been in a perfect mall like this. I'm in love with city already~

Knuckles: (Scoffs While Following Behind Rouge While Carrying Multiple Shopping Bags) Yeah, I can tell. Didn't Shadow said not buy a lot of crap?

Rouge: Oh will you relax already, 'hun? I have still enough money to last us a lifetime. And besides, most of the stuff I brought so far are the gifts got for our peers this year, you included obviously.

?????: Well, well, welll.....

The couple turns to see a Shy Guy wearing a golden mask and a bow tie, standing next to a Whomp, glaring at Rouge in particular.

Shy Guy: If it isn't the cheating bat woman.

Whomp: (Happily Waves at the Couple) Hi!

Shy Guy: (Angrily Shushes the Whomp Beside Him)

Rouge: (Places her Hand onto One of her Hips) Game Guy. Fancy seeing you here in all places. (Forms a Bit of a Cocky Smirk on her Face) Still coping in loserville again as per usual this year?

Game Guy: For your informati-on, Ms. Bat, I've managed to gain an impressive amount of cult followings in the past few months since I've started my new gambling business. (Fprms a Proud Smirk on his Face) And I've never lost a single game of mines since-

Whomp: Except for me! I beat him twenty times in poker!

Game Guy: (Slowly Turns his Head to the Whomp Next to Him) ..........I don't think i remember asking for your INPUT KEVIN!

Kevin: (Lowers his Head Down) Sorry, boss.....It's true though.

Game Guy: AND!? I don't care! The past should stay in the past, not get brought up by your constant yapping!

Knuckles: (Chuckles Lightly at the Whomp in Actually) So you're the guy who broke his perfect win streak?

Rouge: (Smiles Brightly at Kevin) Quite a fan of your accomplishment there, dear.

Kevin: (Smiles Back at Rouge) Thanks! It was pretty easy really. All you gotta do is see the hand he has and-

Game Guy: (Angrily Shushes Kevin Again) ZAZAZAAP! ('Sigh') WHAT my personal....unpaid....nit-twit of an assistant meant to say was that I've managed to regain my streak and honor after all the numerous setbacks I've encountered. (Turns Away While Crossing his Arms) Not like a common cheater like yourself could ever hope to realize.

Rouge: (Rolls her Eyes at Game Guy) ('Ugh') You're still going on about that? You know you cheated on that game too, right?

Game Guy: No, I seem to recalled playing that game fairly, thank you very much!

Rouge: ('Scoffs') Yeah, with the rules you made upon the fly. When has there ever been a Poker Game where only YOU get to play an extra card foe every round?

Kevin: She kinda got you there, boss.

Game Guy: Kevin, why can't keep your mouth for five seconds (Angrily Points at his Assistant) YOU PARASITE- (Quickly Calm Himsel Before Turning Back to Rouge) What happened in the past is complete irrelevant right now.

Rouge: You're the one who keep bringing it up.

Game Guy: SHUTUP! (Starts Calming Himself Down Again) Okay, you know what? I don't need this. I did not spent months and hours revamping and reopening my empire to hear this right now. Which reminds me.....(Points at Rouge in Front of Him) YOU and your little ragtag of hooligans are hereby banned from ever stepping foot on any of my newest casinos locations. (Points at Knuckles) That includes your boyfriend here as well.

Knuckles: What did I do?

Game Guy: Exist, that's what!

Knuckles: (Gives Game Guy a Confused Look on his Face Before Turning Away and Crossing his Arms) ('Tch') Well, screw you too, jackass.

Rouge: Keep your five dollar mask in place, shortie, the boys and I were never interested in going to any club you own to begin with.

Game Guy: My mask is SOLID GOLD, YOU- (Calms Himself Sown Yet Again) Fuck it. I'm done. I'm not gonna stand here and waste any more minutes of time arguing with you. (Starts Storming Off) We're leaving, Kevin.

Kevin: You got it, boss. (Follows Game Guy)

Rouge: (Waves GoodbyeAlong with Knuckles) Have yourself a Merry Christmas, dear~

Knuckles: And a Happy New Year!

Game Guy: Don't you need holiday pity!

Rouge: We were was talking to your assistant there, smartie.

Kevin: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Surprise) Oh! Uh....(Turns to the Couple and Happily Waves Back at Them) Thanks, guys! Hope you two have a Happy Holidays too!

Knuckles: (Happily Gives the Whomp a Thumbs Up) No problem. Take it easy out there, man!

Rouge: Yeah, don't let that mean boss of yours get you down this year, alright?

Kevin: (Chuckles Lightly) Don't worry, I won't! (Leaves Out the Store) Byee!

Rouge: ('Sigh') Such a sweetheart.

Knuckles: Yeah. He deserves to run those casinos more than his boss does.

Rouge: Indefinitely. (Felt her Phone Viberating in her Coat Pocket as She Takes it Out and Reads a New Message Given to Her) Hm. So this where the family stays at.

Knuckles: Where?

Rouge: (Shows Knuckles the Picture of the Place and GPS) New Donk Glorious Hotel & Suite. Shadow just sent the location of it and everything. It seems our shopping adventures has to postpone for now.

Knuckles: ('Sighs in Relief') Oh thank god- I mean....Oh no. How tragic. (Makes his Way Out the Door) Let's Go-

Rouge: (Stops Knuckles From Going Any Further by Grabbing his Arm) Upupup! Not so fast.

Knuckles: (Groans While Turning Back to Rouge) What now?

Rouge: (Forms a Another Smirk on her Face While Pointing Up) Look what's above us~

Knuckles looks up to see a bright red Mistletoe hanging down on the entrance door.

Knuckles: .........Oh.

Rouge: Oh is right. (Moves Knuckles Head to hers in Front of Him) Now, c'mere~ (Gives her Boyfriend a Passionate Kiss on the Lips For a Brief Second Before Kissing Him on Both his Cheeks)

Knuckles: (Starts Blushing Again) You're having fun with this, aren't you?

Rouge: (Casually Shrugs) What can say?~ The holidays are upon us are we speak~

~My MCs list~

It's a hobby of mine creating OCs so it was just a matter of time before I ended up creating a bunch of MC for my favorite games. Unfortunately I'm not very good at drawing so I had to use picrew to create an image of them.

Ikemen Sengoku

Name: Kokuri Momose

Age and birthday: 26 years old ~ 8th August (Leo)

Personality: A bit of an airhead with a child-like nature, she's a sunny and clumsy tornado with a great adaptive capacity and a very low self-preservation instinct. She doesn't have a lot of patience and can't stay quiet to save her life: the only way to have her sit down is to give her sewing work. Because she's always running around without paying attention to her surroundings, it's not uncommon for her to get hurt but she usually laughs it off.

Kokuri is very touchy and likes to give and receive hugs. She also usually needs to establish some kind of body contact while she's talking with someone but she's not completely aware of it, it's more like a habit, without any other meanings.

Likes: girly stuff like ribbons, outside spaces, running, hugs.

Dislikes: being unable to move freely, sour things, having to stay inside all day, silence.

Miscellaneous:

She has a habit of switching her glasses with Mitsunari's and Sasuke's just for fun. She's also the kind of person that can be found searching for her glasses while they are sitting right on top of her head.

She gets scolded by Hideyoshi on a daily basis but she usually gets away with it by searching Nobunaga's protection.

Any attempt to flirt with her goes right over her head, doesn't matter who is trying.

She doesn't understand sarcasm and that drives Ieyasu crazy. "Not another one...!"

Every morning, when Kokuri opens her eyes, Hideyoshi feels a new massive headache coming.

Ikemen Revolution

Name: Maeve Walsh

Age and birthday: 27 years old ~ 11th May (Taurus)

Personality: She's calm and collected, with a good head on her shoulders. She has a somehow arrogant way of talking but she's extremely hardworking and she's willing to do any necessary chores, being them as humble as they can be. She doesn't have a great adaptive capacity so at the beginning, when she arrived to Cradle, she freaked out a bit in her head and it's been difficult for her to come to terms with the fact that she was in another world with magic and all.

She has a sweet-tooth but doesn't like to admit it and pouts everytime someone points it out.

Likes: sweets, work, being independent, coffee, smoking.

Dislikes: inactivity, having no control over what happens to her, rapid changes.

Miscellaneous:

She's Irish. She moved to London because she's aiming to work for a famous patisserie of the city one day. She was gaining some experience in another less famous patisserie before ending up in Cradle.

She like to smoke but she only do it when she's anxious, sad or in a bad mood because it helps her relaxing.

She may look easy to order around due to her usually calm behavior but the sassiness is strong with this one. She doesn't esitate to answer harshly if someone disrespect her. She usually doesn't even raise her voice but being a huge smart-ass she's able to make almost anyone lose their temper.

After a while everyone agreed to NEVER put her in the same room with Jonah or Oliver.

She usually wears a formal and mature attire and doesn't appreciate frilly things.

Ikemen Vampire

Name: Chika Kitowa

Age and birthday: 24 years old ~ 19 December (Sagittarius)

Personality: She's an easygoing and enthusiastic girl that's always up to try new things and visit new places. She's very extravagant and lives in her own little world so she may come across as a lightheaded person. A little gullible, it's easy to fool her and she's not able to convincingly lie.

She's not able to hold a grunge against someone and, even when someone menages to piss her off, she always ends up forgiving them after the fight. The time needed for her to forgive them depends on how the other part reacts: she's not against giving someone the cold shoulder for a while if they really crossed the line without even say sorry.

Likes: her cellphone and headphones, discovering new places, listening to music, reading.

Dislikes: being told to shut up, being ignored, going to sleep.

Miscellaneous:

She is one thing with her headphones and cellphone and it's been a real shock for her to learn that she was going to live without it for a while.

After the charge of her headphones run down she kept hanging outside Mozart's room in order to listen better to his music. In the end, she menaged to even befriend him to the point that he even allowed her to stay in the same room while he plays.

She tends to talk too fast and sometimes even her thoughts aren't able to keep up with the speed of her mouth.

She's a natural redhead but she completely dyed her hair of a light sky blue a while ago. Now she keeps just a few locks dyed.

It's not uncommon for her to start singing loudly while doing her chores around the house, singing even louder if someone shouts at her to shut up.

A3!

I like Izumi too much to substitute her with someone else so for A3! I've created an "extra".

Name: Noriko Moriyama

Age and birthday: 19 years old ~ 17th October (Libra)

Personality: She's a nerd type of person, always with her nose stuck in a book. Being quiet and a little shy, she doesn't have a lot of friends. Despite her reserved personality, she does a 180 degree turn when she talks about her favorite stories and linguistic facts: she becomes kind of over-excited and very talkative, nearly impossible to stop.

She has a weird sense of humor and often comes up with terrible jokes that usually she keeps in her head due to her shyness: that's why sometimes she giggles on her own.

Likes: every kind of stories, over-sized hoodies, linguistic, bad jokes.

Dislikes: insects, math and any type of calculation, headpats.

Miscellaneous:

She studies linguistic and literature at the local University and she has became close with the Mankai company through Tsuzuru since they share some classes. She often helps him as a sort of beta-reader for his script.

She's very small and looks a lot younger than her actual age to the point almost no one believes her when she says how old she is.

She's easily embarrassed: the smaller compliment is enough to set her face on fire.

She's a scaredy-cat but she keeps watching horror movies because she likes them. But she need someone to hold on for dear life and hide her face when there's a jumpscare.

Nobody is able to take her seriously the few times she gets angry.

OBEY ME!

Being a big fan of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and already having Solomon in game, I couldn't help myself and I ended calling my MC Sheba. I had to!

Name: Sheba Nirmal

Age and birthday: 25 years old ~ 20th February (Aquarius)

Personality: An extremely strong-willed girl, she has a very short temper and a bossy attitude. She's smart but has a tendency to do dumb things due to her contrarian attitude. Also, she has a mischievous side and won't esitate to organize pranks on people that gets on her nerves.

Despite being always ready for a fight and a hothead, she has a weak spot for cute things and she likes playing with children.

Likes: any type of cute things, pranks, eating, riding a motorcycle, kids.

Dislikes: finding someone stronger than her, people bossing her around, rules that she doesn't understand, smart-ass remarks.

Miscellaneous:

Her signature phrase is "Fight me!". She uses it almost as filler words so after a while nobody takes her seriously anymore when she says it.

In the human world, when she was younger, she was a member of a motorcycle gang and kind of a thug so she used to knows how to handle a fight. But of course now everyone could pulverize her in a moment and this really piss her off.

The faster way to distract her and keep her from fight someone is to give her a cute plushie.

She risks to get killed almost once a day, sometimes even twice. Among the brothers, the only one that never tried to kill her so far is Mammon but the two of them bicker on a daily basis.

She has a 9-years-old sister in the human world that she believes being the cutest thing in the entire world and used to spoil rotten, so she really doesn't understand why the brothers relationship is falling apart.

Mystic Messenger

Name: Yun Pyeon

Age and birthday: 22 years old ~ 17th September (Virgo)

Personality: She has a caring and mother-like nature, a type of calm behavior that is able to shoote the ones around her. She is very patient and usually puts others well-being before herself. She's also very emotional and a bit of a crybaby when it comes to sad stories; also, she is not good at all at hiding her emotions and thoughts. She can be quite stubborn when she makes up her mind and is known to be extremely scary when enraged.

Likes: cuddles, animals, fluffy and warm blankets, playing with other people's hair.

Dislikes: people who yell a lot, bullies and violence, crying.

Miscellaneous:

A disapproving glance from her is able to put anyone to shame (but she almost never gives it to anyone).

100% determinated to hug and comfort-cuddle everyone in need.

She worries a lot about RFA members's sleeping schedule and what they eat.

She gives a lot of headpats, the sweet and gentle type. It doesn't matter if the receiving end is taller or older than her, headpats are her favorite way to comfort someone whom she is not close enough to hug.

She doesn't like being seen sad or troubled, that's why she really hates crying in front of someone else.
