sonic the hedgehog: the lost king.

Sonic: This is quite a weird place.

Caliburn: ofcourse it will be, it's the home of the best enchantress of camalot.

Sonic: You said that 5 times already. Where is she then?

???: Right here.

Sonic turns around and looks towards a figure standing behind him, he was about to attack when he saw her face. She looks like Amy, not Amy°but his Amy.

Nimue: Welcome to my lake... *Strangely tries to analyse sonic* Why do feel similar to arthur?

Caliburn manifests and floats to the front, stunning nimue.

Caliburn: Lady nimue.

Nimue: Caliburn? But I can still sense you in the stone.

Caliburn: I am from another world.. and he is the chosen one.

Nimue: I see... Well, guests should be welcomed with some tea and snacks, Follow me.

Nimue deactivated the misty barrier, allowing Sonic to pass straight towards the lake, he is guiding to a pavilion and served tea by some floating wisps.

Nimue: No tell me why you are visiting my world.

Caliburn truthfully told nimue of it's world of camalot, how it is different from the current one and including the difference in kings.

Sonic: Did you have to tell her about Amy?

Caliburn: Somethings must be told. Let me tell you something sonic, Lady nimue's surname is Rose.

Sonic's mind short circuit as he stares at Nimue with his eyes open.

Sonic: Doesn't t-

Caliburn: Yes, she was technically Amy's ancestor in our world as she is the sister of founder of rose family and is over 150 years old at this point.

Nimue: So I am like a grandmother-in-law to you then. Giggles

Sonic: *avoids all the family talk* Can we stop this tomfoolery and get to the business?

Nimue: Business talk?

Caliburn: Lady nimue... Arthur of your world became a puppet of abyss.

The words shock her completely, she had personally given arthur the caliburn but then she remembered that he again planted it near the lake after rising to kingship.

Nimue: *puts her hand on forehead* that fool.. I told him to keep caliburn with him during war... What has become of the kingdom?

Caliburn: It's bad, they are using arthur to gather people before devouring them,the knights of roundtable had become knights of the underworld, heavy taxes on people and the Nobel houses are gone.

Nimue: that is pretty bad indeed.. *looks at Sonic* will he be the new one?

Caliburn: He should be, he was chosen by all 8 weapons and you after all.

Sonic: What is she talking about?

Caliburn: that you be the next king after you dethroned Arthur.

Sonic: Then let's get going already.

Nimue takes takes them to a giant boulder at the lakeside, on the top is a sword that looks similar to caliburn.

Nimue: *gestures for Sonic to go* Grab him and pull him out.

Sonic follows and pulls out caliburn quite easily, so easily that nimue almost doubted that he was overqualified.

???: Who had woken me up?

Caliburn° (yes I am gonna use ° to avoid doing something like caliburn 2) wakes up and looks around, Sonic tries to gauge it's sharpness.

Sonic: Are you sure he is a sword? *Turns to Caliburn* This dull blade could barely cut butter.

Caliburn° tries to argue back but is annoyed that what Sonic said is right, his edge looks flatter than its blunt side.

Caliburn°: I should have told him to stop using me to cut those golems.. *realises the existence of another caliburn floating to side* What?

It took five minutes to again redo all the info dump to caliburn.

Caliburn: I cant let him be a puppet and destroy the very kingdom he built.

Sonic: Then tell me how to deactivate the scabbard.

Nimue: it can't be deactivated. You need to bind it to someone else.

Sonic: *slowly backs away* i ain't gonna take that curse of immortality to myself.

Nimue: The scabbard doesn't grant immortality. It reminds time for your body when used while your soul and memories stay the same. There is also a limit to what it can rewind at a time before it recharges.

Sonic: Can't we just kill him again and again?

Caliburn°: no. After it recharges he will just come back as long it is bound to him.

Sonic: Is it controllable?

Caliburn: yes, you can even share it with others.

Sonic: I guess that is more acceptable... How do we bind it?

Caliburn°: you need 4 weapons of the roundtable and me to change the owner.

???: revealing my secrets to enemies now, caliburn?

Sonic,nimue and caliburns turn to their side to see a person in black armor riding a giant black horse while carrying a giant broadsword and two scabbards hanging around his waist.

Caliburn°: Don't call my name, you are nothing but a parasitic abyssal possessing his corpse.

Arthur: Oh really? Hahaha, too bad then but I will still say it. *Gets off the horse and slowly walks until he arrived in front of Sonic* So you are also a chosen king eh? Quite young I will say.

Sonic: *smirks* Better than being a 100 year old corpse.

Arthur: Quite a cheeky one you are... But can you fight as well as you talk.

Both arthur and Sonic quickdraw their swords like they are sticks, silvery armor with slight gold tint appears on Sonic as both Caliburns returns to his hand. Nimue teleports away before the shockwave from the clash hit. The ground ruptured as the rock where caliburn was planted was shattered to pieces, both warriors retreat a little.

Arthur: Quite strong for that dwarfish body of yours.. *Gets on his horse* Let's see if you are worthy of being my match.

Both arthur and the horse begins moving towards the plains while Sonic gives chase.

Nimue: *prays* I wish you good luck, young king.

Meanwhile somewhere in the capital, augus and tails° are meeting with merlina along with a knight with a heavy silvery armor with a bluish tint to it's colour with a lance on his back. The knight has green fur and is a hedgehog evident from the armor design that looks somewhat similar to Sonic's.

???: you know augus.*slams his hand on the table* I could have executed you for treason if you were not my friend and successor of the royal blacksmith for plotting against our liege.

Merlina: Do you even have any idea what you are talking about? Do you have any proof?

Tails°: he wields the excalibur of his world and we learned it from the blade itself. We are not asking you to just believe us, meet him yourself first.

Augus: You know very well garith, the king has changed, he is different from the stories we were told.

Garith: And what if he is the same? What if he is just a victim of overusing his power?

Augus: Do you know about the Abyss?

Merlina slowly shrudders which doesn't go unnoticed by the others.

Tails°: From what we learned from caliburn, the Abyss can corrupt and possess souls and consume them. *Turns to merlina* You know about them don't you?

Merlina: I don't know what you-

???: she knows.

The door slams open as Sonica enters, she closes the door behind it before sitting on a empty seat.

Sonica: She knows them very well. She said she meet one when she was under master merlin's tutorage. She even said that she formed a contract with one.

Everyone stare at merlina who stands up and slowly begins backing away.
