@ultimateblackjack requesteth a starter!

As much as the King would have liked to relax, doing so was impossible when one ran a kingdom as large as Camelot. Worse was the fact that bandits, dragons, and other mystical creatures alike ran amok in the woods that the island coveted, and Sonic of all people wasn’t the kind to let civilians (or in this case, subjects) be in potential danger. 

So when there was a distressing call for help, from being attacked by Knights of the Underworld, he was already gone the moment he had heard word. 

But to his surprise, when he got there, the Shadow Knight was already working on dispatching the dark creatures. There were no words exchanged until after they’d completed their task, the Royal dusting his shoulders off after a rough throw by their last enemy. “Ya know, I thought these guys were already taken care of...”

    {➹} – THE ACCENTED HEDGEHOG was still having a hard time believing that they really were in a storybook but, for all the crazy adventures he had been on to date, he supposed it wasn’t that out there. After all, most stories had some roots in reality so he figured he had just gotten thrown into a world worth writing about, more or less.

     His alternate’s response didn’t exactly instill confidence in the accented hero but, since he had gotten there, Arrow could only assume he could get back out and merely waved a hand through the air, and the topic. It was something they would have to figure out later.

     “Well, let’s give it a few hours and see if I can’t manage t’ get back the way I got here,” he suggested, then gestured around with an expectant air. “In the meantime, how about you show me around? ‘S not every day I get sucked int’ a story so I might as well make the best of it, yeah?”

Okay, moving past the topic? Good? Great. 

Surely the newcomer could leave, he’d gotten here somehow with the help of Chaos Control. In fact, Merlina would likely be able to help, or that was at least the hope the King held out for. She got him here, and she in theory would be able to help the other go home.

“Show ya ‘round, huh? Ever seen a real dragon before?” He’d been on his way to Crystal Caves, to help gather resources for the Sorceress herself, and if he brought his alternate along, the Hedgehog couldn’t see a potential con. Like catching two birds with one net, yeah? That way they could still meet her, and discuss things and get the stuff he was sent to do anyways.

     {➹} – NOW THERE WAS A THOUGHT the accented hero hadn’t had until right that moment. If the emerald’s power had gotten him here by accident, could it even get him back out again? This was an…odd situation to say the least so Arrow didn’t have the faintest clue, and hearing that the other had been here for a year ( or so ) didn’t really help the matter. 

     “…I hope so?” It was the best he could say for now. He’d test it but not until later since using the emeralds in quick succession like that wasn’t exactly a good thing. Not in his case. Though he couldn’t help but notice how his alternate had phrased that last bit and raised a brow. “So…you’re not stuck here then?”

An unspoken ‘me too’ is the response to Arrow’s hesitance, and the uncertain grimace that befalls the both of them. While the King was sure no one would particularly mind two Sonic the Hedgehogs running around at high speeds (save for maybe his Knights of the Round Table), that wouldn’t really help the second Blur return home, now would it?

“I, uh...” Oh jeez, the worst question. “...’m not sure. I stayed behind ‘cause the people here needed help, but...” But he’d dug himself a bigger hole than he’d ever dreamed of having. It brought up all sorts of... problems he’d not really wanted to get started on thinking of quite yet. 

Just running from his issues again, apparently. That and the inability to say no to those in need. “Honest answer is I dunno. Book logic doesn’t really apply t’ th’ real world, last I checked.”

He recognized her name. They must have met before. Perhaps this was the Sonic she had met back during those old tournament days. It had been so long, she didn’t realize it could have been him. But her dear friend wasn’t from that, she’d learned the fact quite early in their relationship. It was interesting, to meet another version of someone you knew. But it wasn’t all that unusual for someone who could traverse the streams of time.

“That is correct. New to this country, and you know my name. We must have met at some point.”

It was true, that he was someone different than the Sonic she knew so much better. But he still deserved the same respect. He was a different version of her dear friend, and possibly someone she competed with from time to time during the old days.

“In any case, I am happy that you are not too cold. If I may ask, why are you dressed in such a fashion? I have never seen you before in such an outfit, you look very nice.”

She also didn’t understand the floating sword going on, but she’d ask about that later. There must have been some extravagant story behind it. Maybe it was an enchanted sword, and that was why it didn’t have to rest on the hedgehog’s back. Either way, she was quite interested. Quite interested in any stories Sonic may have had to tell. 

“How have you been? It must have been a long, long time since we last saw each other. I do hope you have been alright.”

Her praise on his keen recollection has the Blur flustered, one of his metal-tipped fingers rising to scratch at his cheek sheepishly. “Ah-- Yeah, same t’ ya as well? You’ve gotta good memory.” As a princess, Zelda immediately received the same amount of respect she gave forth, though the chance that they had met once at a friendly joust made it all the easier.

...Ah. And that was what came with meeting people you once knew. Sonic didn’t choose to be rude, though his smile fell into a half-hearted sort of laugh. “Thanks.” A nudge from Caliburn’s hilt into his back and the King straightened, sigh in voice. “’s a long story, but I appreciate th’ compliment.”

If she were to ask, the Speedster certainly did have some tales he’d gained since they’d last interacted, all of which he’d happily explain; and ask she did. Or, respectfully imply in the guise of how he was doing? He wouldn’t want to bore her, and so responded with the easiest answer a cheerful but confident Hedgehog could give.

“Oh, ya know, fallin’ int’ storybooks, becomin’ Knights an’ battlin’ Wizards, th’ usual Hero stuff? ‘s been interestin’.” Or maybe all that was a bit much? He’d only quickly shortened all of it! “How ‘bout you? Have ya been doin’ okay since the Smash days?” Fun times, those were.

"Hey, Perce! Percy! Percival! Do ya have any plans for the Yuletide?" Yule? Eh? Did he say it right...?

@flamebladed-knight

Really, she should have expected this question. Her chin rests in her palm as she looks up at him from some documents. Correspondence from her home Kingdom, no doubt. “No, I hast no “plans” as thou say it, why art thou… inquiring? Why doth I hast the feeling thou art to bid me to try some strange activity from thine own time..?”

“Don’t y’guys give out presents ‘n stuff around this time of year? Or decorate or somethin’?” Perhaps it wasn’t Christmas, but it had to be something similar, right? “Ya, need a break, honestly.” 

As in, put those papers down, Percy. Or he can do something about them. “C’mon! It shouldn’t take too long! Ya know me!”

@windbladed-knight

“Good evening. Might I ask your name? You look like a dear friend of mine, but there are… some differences.”

If she didn’t know any better, she’d say she was looking at Sonic. But this one was different, if just a little. Better to be safe, and request his name first. Perhaps Sonic was dressing up to look better in the eyes of Castle Town’s residents. She couldn’t tell.

Maybe this was a different person altogether. The multiverse was a strange place, it wouldn’t be the first time she’d seen a double of one of her friends. Either way, this person was a guest in her kingdom, and as such, she would treat them with the utmost respect.

“I do hope you are not too cold, winter has come early this year, it seems.”

A kingdom that wasn’t his own. It wasn’t the first time, as it was required for the one they called ‘Pendragon’ to visit purely for diplomatic reasons, although this... Well, the hedgehog hadn’t really been ready to take one step from the forest and cobblestones to form under his feet.

A... portal?

Sure, the King expected confused glances from the citizens-- those that looked almost human save for those pointed ears. But for one to approach him? Especially with a face he recognized from a tournament that seemed like forever ago? No, he really hadn’t been ready for that either.

Calliburn floated by his side silently, finally catching up after Sonic had finally paused his wandering, breaking him from his seconds of surprised silence. “Er... It’s Sonic.” It wasn’t the first time he’d come across alternates of other people either. “...Princess?” What was her name? He’d had good-natured battles with that person before. “...Zelda?”

A laugh, as the hedgehog raised an armored hand to rub at the back of his head awkwardly. “Uh... Different person, prob’ly.” But he appreciated her concern nonetheless. “’m fine, thanks! ‘s not that cold-- I’ve had worse, heh.”

It’s finally finished. This took me almost exactly a month to complete (Tomorrow would have been a month exactly) mostly because I lost all motivation to do anything artistically. This came out really cool though.

    {➹} –  I T   W A S N ’ T   T H E  best nickname out there but it definitely worked for the shorter hedgehog, had for years now so he saw no reason to change it - even if he was the only alternate he knew of with a distinctive accent and that should have been enough to tell him apart. 

     Instead of answering his alternate's question with an easy answer, Arrow shot for another inquiry instead. “How much do you know about Chaos Control?”

     Arrow hoped his alternate knew enough that he wouldn’t have to explain too much about it. 

@thewayfaringhero​

Chaos Control? If that wasn’t a phrase he hadn’t heard in a while, there would be no other. “Ya mean t’ tell me, that it gotcha in here?” Which made sense and all, but it then became a theory of...

“Would it be able to getcha out? I’ve...” But that was where he stopped, a hesitant frown growing on his muzzle. “...I’ve been here for a year or so. ‘S hard to keep track of time here.” Not that the King would leave, mind you, but he was suddenly very much concerned for his fellow alternate.

vox-auxiliary‌:

Yes! Glad you understood! Sil would have to look into figuring out how to speak in this form eventually, but for now his new friend seemed keen enough to pick up on his intentions. 

That doesn’t stop the dragon from being moderately surprised as the Hedgehog clambered onto his snout. Was that… really the safest place…? There’s a few blinks from the dragon, before he slowly raises his head above some parts of the tree line. This place had an aura he didn’t like, but maybe that was why the armored one found no issues with flight– even after witnessing the catastrophe that was his earlier landing. 

He’d just have to be careful, yeah. The serpent wriggles in place a bit, then takes a few literal steps into the air, raising them slowly off the ground. 

Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous…!

Safest? 

Probably not, but since when had that ever stopped the Blur in the past? He let out a low whistle as their view topped the foliage, green eyes flicking over the umbrella of pine and needles to... “Over there!” A metal tipped finger pointed off to the right, to the slight clearing in the brush, well over a few miles away. “That’s Misty Lake!” 

He only shifted his attention to the second opening, gesturing to it lightly. “That’s the village, but it might be easier to get ya t’ the lake than me havin’ t’ explain your you, yeah?” And while the Knight didn’t necessarily mind speaking to his people, he doubted they’d be in the mood for listening with a giant bubble-blowing lizard.

How interesting. Sonic hadn’t really any idea of how they were going to take flight, but this wasn’t what he’d had in mind. Showing no fear, he leaped from the beasts snout to its head, hanging off one of the giant pearlescent horns curving from its skull so that he could see the expanse of his home, and the large spires of Castle Town in the distance. 

“This is pretty sweet! Do ya normally fly so low, tho’?”
