I never thought this day would come. The day an innocent city falls to a tyrant, and a rather balant one. I mean, I can't believe that dragon would blurt out that her master would unlawfully rule over Domedravica! When the dragon was prepared for a list of changes for the worst, I cringd. I just couldn't bare whatever horrors would fall on Violetta's Nation. Domedravica died this day...
Or did it?
"First things first..." the dragon announced. I was caught off guard how sweet she sounded, like she truely wants to improve this place.
"No more will these buildings be made of wood. I declare that all buildings be made of Yharim's aproved brick, which is tested to be far sturdyer than wood."
That.... actually sounds good for Domedravica! I remember just how tough brick is back at home, and this world's weaponry would struggle piercing it. Sadly, the girls and the few strong-willed crowd members gave quizzical looks.
Susan was the first to walk right up to the dragon. The crowd and I flinch, considering what that being did to her enemy. The dragon just gives another warm smile.
"Do you really think I fell for your facade?" Susan snarled.
"How can I trust that you wom't turn Domedravica into a parody lf itself. Can I trust this 'brick'? Can I trust you? Can I trust 'Yharim'?"
"I can tell that you are disgruntled by my little display, but my master simply told me to take the city, not to harm any others. I was simply going to talk with Domedravica's Queen before engaging, but she purposely assalted someone going for peaceful negotiation. Now, Yharim may call himself a tyrant, but he truely cares for his people. He does get a little... liberal with rebels and foes, but he's a nice guy!"
"You spit lies!"
"She an't lying, mutt." Ba'el said calmly.
Susan gives a quizzical glare at first, but walks away from the dragon. Good choice; It's practically impossible to lie to the demon.
Suddenly, Violetta and Chris snap awake.
They struggle to get up at first after their viscous battles, but they soon shrug it off, just like real dragons.
Violetta stares angrily at the foreign dragon, growling a little to loudly a beastly for my liking.
"Miss, you started this. I just wanted to..."
"My nation's likehood will NOT fall into a tyrant!" Violetta shouts.
Chris quickly backs her up.
"Yeah! My homeland will NOT fall into a tyrant's hands!"
"I can tell that she's not lying, so lay off." Ba'el says again.
Chris rejoins our group, but Violetta. She has the most happy smile ever.
"If you stay true to your word, then you and your master can rule along me." Violetta degrees.
"Your that quick to hand off your nation to a stranger?" Chris asks.
"Hey, it's a first for this world. No other nation is ruler by multple queens, right?"
"Yeah, but..."
"And I also finally get on go on adventures with you, Laven! Isn't that beautiful, my beloved?!"
God... is this why she was so eager? Don't get me wrong; I don't mind that I got 5 other lovers with me, but she's so obvious about that I want to barf.
"Where can we start our first adventure, my love?"
"Er..."
"I heard that Yaleria is finishing up a royal train. We should check that out." Chris covered for me.
"Yes! Adventure awaits, darling!"
Jesus Christ...
"That's my line!" Rose finally spoke.
"I'm declaring it MY catchphrase now!"
"That's just petty!"
"Like complaining about some using your line."
The two quickly get in a fistfight.
*Sigh*...
* * *
Professor Vee was sitting in an old cottage, not too far from that fateful encounter on Yaleria's Babel.
"I was so, so close," Vee groaned. "I was so, so close to finally unlocking Babel's secrets, but Laven just had to crush my dreams. Rambling that I didn't know what I was doing... A fool! I've been researching the legends and organizing my plans for years, and he has the audacity to say I'm clueless about the subject at matter? An idiot, that's who he is. An ignorant idiot who can't see the greatness of Babel."
Vee lets out a loud sigh.
"I'll just have to try again. No need for the Count or stupid Laven. But I'll need another evil genus at hand. A person who is willing to mess with cataclysmic artifacts... FOR KNOWLEDGE!"
A strange, warped sound occured out side the cottage. Vee looks out side, and finds a pink portal right above the house. He his initially befuddled by the portal, but he smiles when he sees what comes out.
Infinite, Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, and Dr Ivo Robotnik.
"My mad scientist!" Vee exclaims. "He really let himself go..." He catches sight of the phantom ruby.
"That gemstone looks rather intriguing. I better ask."
Vee walks outside.
"You just had to use to use that ruby to warp that blue hedgehog!" Scratch complained.
"Yeah! You warped us along with Sonic!" Grounder moaned.
"Dumbots! Pay attention to the surrounds! This place is cleary not Mobious." Coconuts said.
"You talk back to members of the Super Sonic Search and Smash Squad? DEMOTION!" Robotnik declared.
"Master, the monkey has a point." Infinite mentioned.
"Hmmm... Now when I think of it, where did you teleport us?" Robotnik said.
"Hullo, my fellow scientist! This place is not to far away from Yaleria!" Vee said.
The Eggman squad finally notices Vee, and cringe from his appearance.
"Whoa! You guys are polar opposites!" Scratch said to Vee. "You are lanky and Robonik is..."
"Dr Ivo Rrrrobotnik, dumbot!"
"These automatrons seem far more animalistic than a Gremlin's robots. But that ruby... the way it glows..." Vee thought.
"Pardon me, Dr Ivo Robotnik, may I ask about the ruby?" Vee inquires.
"The ruby? Oh, its one of my greatest weapons. The Phantom Ruby, the ultimate reality weapon. The gem can toy with a person's depth perception, creating a new reality for the victim."
"My gem also can ulter reality for, well, real." Infinite said pridefully.
"Reality ultering stones? Perfect, just perfect. Laven can't stop my plans with that illusionist on my side! I'll finally unlock Babel and..."
Vee started laughing madly.
"Babel will be mine! Mine, mine, mine!"
"Babel, is that some sort of doomsday device? I like evil relics." Robotnik asked.
"It can easily destroy the world, but I want it for know..."
"SSSSS Squad! We are now collaborating with, uh, your name?"
"Professor Vee."
"Yes, you. I want that tower, so I can take over the world!"
"World dominance? Meh. I could care less. I just want the Tower of Babel." Vee thought to himself.
"Doctor, we need a base first." Infinite says.
"I suggest we take Yaleria's train for a moble base of operations." Vee says.
"Okay, I'm confused." Grounder said.
"In short, the train will have a lich and wight on board, the ruler of Yaleria, two very powerful undead."
"ZOMBIES?" Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts exclaimed.
"Robotnik, I don't want to fight zombies! Please! My brains will be eaten!" Coconuts implored.
"Cowardness? DEMOTION."
"Fox, you use that gem of yours to fix up a disquise, so we can board the train..."
"And I can create an army of real robots in seconds..." Infinite added.
"And we will send the train to my new bomb factory, and use that as my Robotnik Empire Fortress!" Robotnik said.
"But the new guy said he wanted the train to be the fortress!" Scratched mentioned.
"NO!!!! You take orders from me, and only me!"
As eggman and his squad moved out for the train station. Vee mumbled to himself: "Exellance... These fools are easily guibible. I will backstab them once I get to Babel"

Laven's POV:
Well, there is one benefit with Violetta on our side. She's absolutely massive in her true form, enough to support us with space left over.
When a strange portal opened up, we need that extra space.
"What in the hells is that!" Ba'el cussed.
"That sound... it was as if reality was being warped! We will have to take caution with whoever comes." Shoshana exclaimed.
Susan quickly got her answer.
A blue hedgehog, a yellow fox with a tablet, and a red echidna came out of the gateway. The fox and echidna were cleary panicing, but the hedgehog took it like a grain of salt.
"Whoaaaa! A dragonnnnn! Caaaatch ussss!" He yelled.
Violetta lands on the ground, and the three anthropomorphic animals land safety. The hedgehog and echidna land with a thud, but the fox somehow twists his tails back and forth to slow his landing.
"What type of monsters are you supposed to be?!" Rose asked.
The trio became very offended.
"Monsters? Oh no, you got is all wrong! You are the monster and I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, fastest thing in the world!"
"Did you just call me a monster? Okay, I may be a monster, but I fight for what's right!" Rose retorts.
"Hey, I liking you already! I'm a freedom fighter, and so is Tails and Knuckles." Sonic replys.
The shy fox inches closer. His little tablet starts beeping like an alarm clock when he points it ar Ba'el. Tails moves in even closer to Ba'el, awestruck.
"My device is picking up extreme energry readings from you. It's absolutely insane! You did you get some much energy?"
"It's magic, idiot."
"Idiot? I repaired sonic's plane before and broke into computers, something that requires high IQ."
Once again, these strangers are spouting out things the girls can't understand in this medieval setting.
"Quite hard to judge your 'IQ' when I can't grasp a single thing outtta your mouth." Ba'el snides.
Tails gasps. He must've realized the time period.
"Sonic! Infinite warped us into medieval times! We our now the first to truely explore the dark ages!"
"A great milestone indeed, Tails."
Knuckles bursts out laughing. He walks right up to Ba'el to insult her.
"Ha! You live in the dark ages, while we come from the modern world. This world must be as primitive as cavemen. So dumb!"
Susan moves in.
"As a matter of fact, I know far more than ANY of you freedom fighters. I've been studying texts for years...
"What is DNA?"
Susan simply gives a perplexed look, fueling Knuckles' laughter.
"Ha! Cavepouch!"
Ok, now that echidna is now teasing her. There is absolutely no way she or any of the girls can know about that molecule. I usually keep this info to myself, but that red punk is using that knowledge to bully her.
"Leave her along, punk." I spat.
He quickly catches my tone.
"What? You never explained your world to the pouch?"
"How do you..."
"Don't lie. I look just like a human from the modern age, not stone age over here."
"Don't insult the pharaoh!" Susan snarls.
"You must've been hit hard in the head. This is a forest, not Egypt. And where's the Egyptian robes?"
"Egypt is lies!"
"You're lies! That man is from Mobious, not here! He belongs in the modern era, not in the stone age with these monster-human hybird cavewomen!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I scream at Knuckles.
"You are as foul as Shadow! Geeze..." Sonic exclaims.
"Easy there!" The fox says, moving between me and Knuckles. "I'm sorry is Knuckles is acting like such a Knucklehead. He regularly makes dumb choices, like the day he got everyone shot on Operation Big Wave."
"Shut up!"
"...Hey, you can use this." Tails says, handing the tablet to Shoshana. "I programed a search engine so you can look up DNA."
"What in the name..." Susan said perplexed at the screen.
I take a quick peek. Huh... that fox programed Google on the thing! Susan will never be able to use that...
"I see nothing."
"You hit the white bar!" Tails coaches.
"Okay... What's this alphabet that appeared?"
"That's the keyboard. You use the letters to type out what you want, and hit enter!"
Susan does as told. The first thing that pops up is a wikipedia page. She gasps.
"This device can bring up information on anything?!"
"Anything?"
An eager smile crept on her face.
"Hey whats the big deal... what the... Wikipedia?" Rose says as she peeks at the screen.
"Outta the way! The hell..." Ba'el exclaims.
"What is so intriguing about this tablet... Oh my..." Chris says.
" I want to see!" Violetta demanda, still a dragon.
She quickly reverts back to normal. She completely forgot how high we were off the ground.
"Sorry!" She says with a nervous laugh.
After that little mistake, Susan reads the article.
" Deoxyribonucleic acid..."
"What in the world did uou just say?" Rose responded.
"I've never heard of such acids! Must be annother one of the succubae's tools..." Chris said.
"Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule..."
"Molecule? What is that, some sort spell or magic or anything that makes sense? Wikipedia is making no damn sense!" Ba'el yelled.
The trio stood away from the girls, huddled together.
"Man, these guys must very far behind..." Sonic shrugged.
"Salty too." Knuckles added.
"Lets just let them make their own discoveries." Tails said.
" *sigh*, Deoxyribonucleic acid is a type of molecule that carrys genetic material..."
"Gimme that!" Rose yells.
The salamander snatches righ out off her hands.
"Stupid screen with its stupid molecules and gentics..."
"Give that back now!" Susan yells.
The two play tug-of-war with the tablet, much to Tails displease.
"TIME FOR A KNUCKLE-SANDWICH!" the echidna roars.
He punches both Rose and Susan in the gut. He even knocks Rose right onto the ground!
"You guys just arn't cut for the modern age." Knuckles says.
Susan gets up on the ground... crying?
"It's just that Pharaoh has refused to talk about his world to me!"
I felt a guilty. Maybe I should have tooken the time to explain myself...
"Hey, I'll explain once I figure out what these guys are doing here, okay?"
She wipes here face. "Okay."
"I remember that you mentioned Infinite. He sound just like a villian." Chris says.
"Infinite? He's an elite soldier of Eggman who can create illusions so real that it's practically a new reality for his targets. He warped us here, along with himself and eggman."
"Sounds real dangerous... I would love to fight him!" Rose says jovially.
"You would not..." Sonic says seriously.
"This Eggman fellow sounds ridiculous. Is he of concern?" Chris asks.
"That talking egg? He is skilled at robotics and once took over 99.9% of my world, but he always, and I mean ALWAYS, shoots down his own plans."
"99.9% percent!? And are these two in this world?" Susan said outraged.
"I can remember Infinite and Eggman falling right through the portal."
"We've got to take care of two, and bring 'em to justice!"Chris said.
"They could be anywhere." Mintie whispered.
"I'm sure that 'eggman' will attack the nearby train." Violetta says.
"Train? Oh, no, we've got to get there now! Eggman once ran a train loaded with weapons before and I'm sure he'd love annother one!" Sonic exclaims.
"Well, we got two new baddies to defeat, so lets whoop their arses!" Ba'el exclaims.
"You definitely giving off edgy vibes." Sonic says.
"So?"
"You remind me of Shadow, always trying to act tough and cool, but always fall flat on his face!"
Ba'el is at silence for once. No one has ever summarized her abrasive behavior that easily. I might just like this hedgehog and his crew!
