Keith was with reia helping with her wedding dress



Keith" ohh I couldn't have picked a more perfect time to come back onto the team " Reia" you seem to have been enjoying this more then anything else " Keith " well after hearing the whole ceremony event how can I not!? everything is so carefully coordinated " Reia" yeah it is > >" Keith" yeah it is.. " Keith" dear whats the matter, I remember you use to sound so excited and now you sound so dismal ;w; " Reia" remember when we said we could keep the " kids" thing hidden until after the affair ?" Keith" right, to please your father or at least soften the blow at least" Reia" I thought it would be easy to kind of hid it but I suppose I didn't take certain things into account, food craving, mood swings, excessive shedding, I've been having small panics at night over thinking if he knows or night and ,,its left me with a sleepless night or two. I think I've grown tired and " Keith" is there anything scourge could do" Reia" hes been keeping him busy and attention away from me luckily so I could have time to gather myself and even now looking at her self in the mirror in her dress, this looked beautiful on me before but seeing myself with this bulge I really feels like it ruins it. and now I'm wondering did I just ruin my own wedding with the way I decided to do this... tears started to well in her eyes*



Keith" whoa whoa whoa... lets not have any of that kind of talk my dear, you look absolutely beautiful no matter what, sure things may not have gone the way you might have expected , but you have the backing of your family your crew and your mother behind you and if your father really loves you he'll accept this as is " placing his hands on her cheeks leaning his head against hers Reia" I know that keith but certain things carry a tongue in cheek stigma and those stigmas have the tendency to stay with you, and I've always had such a solid persona and image with in the ranks " Keith" sweetie your mortal we all are, you make mistakes and no one is perfect, honestly if everything was truly perfect I would think something would be wrong, crossing his arms Reia" heh..." Keith" so please, you've come this far your about to enter a whole new chapter in your life, one for the new ones in the family and there gonna look to you for that that guidance, and in order for you to do that, you need to have confidence in yourself" Reia" taking a deep breathe y-yeah your right quickly wiping her tears away sorry for the emotional break down" Keith" no need to be sorry, better to let it out and we push forward " Reia" nice choice of words* she smirked* Keith" >///> y-you know what I mean " Reia" ahaahaha! at the moment snow peeked her head from the doorway Snow" everyone ready head out~ , and I got word from victor the decorations and the temple are on the verge of complete as far goes decoration~ " Reia" wonderful I suppose no time like the present " Keith" exactly~ X3 "





off to the island where the wedding would be taking place, you could see a collection of men sorting and setting up the gathering tables and catering and all, at the same time scourge was sitting in the chapel starring up at the stain glass with the mural of the Sol Goddess



Kaspian" walking in fighting him seating to himself doing a bit of self reflecting or just praying?" Scourge" I don't know, maybe a little of both" Kaspian" whats gotten you feeling so down~ your bride is on hr way the party is going off without a problem your in the good grace of the family I think your doing pretty damn well " Scourge"..... you ever feel like life has handed you such a shit hand for years the moment you get something good you almost don't believe it , to the point your question it " Kaspian"... hmm once or twice, but here's a another question for you as he pulled out a cigarette holding it between his teeth he gave out a short breathe of fire lighting it (fowossh!) who is truly innocent of any sin in this world, that aren't babies, you say anything else besides everyone your lying to yourself" letting a puff of smoke before handing it over to scourge*



Scourge" I don't smoke " Kaspian" just try it this a little different, then the drug laced trash you mammals use " Scourge" ...* taking it he inhaled it* ...!? it has a fruit like aroma to it " Kaspian" exactly, its a plant that grows in dragon territory grounded up roots and the burning sensation calms the scenes " Scourge" ahhhh... leaning back in the chair you know I spent a good chunk of my life trying to prove I was better then someone else , in fact looking back on the last 20 years I've had one constant jealousy, hate and sonic " Kaspian" and now?" Scourge" I can at least see beyond the three, I don't have be fucking bitter or take shit from others day in and day out , between lets see, forming a team or for them to dessert me , my second lead by my girlfriend fell apart because she decided to abandon me and go back to that two tailed shorty, after saving me from nearly being completely broken from being locked in prison . only for me to make my way here and now suddenly things go... differently... take a few odd jobs, meet up with reia and then suddenly something weird happens Kaspian" that is ? Scourge" forming connections with people who don't know shit about me and it feels honest and it works and...I feel like I can make it work I can gain the title I know I deserve! and I can rub i in the blue bitches face who believes I was nothing but a shadow of his a shadow, worthless runt well who's fucking laughing now bitch Ahahaha....ahah.. ahhh... leaning over with his head down then this is part where I wake up "



Kaspian " I think this is far from dream green bean " at her looked down you could see his tears hitting the floor by his feet Scourge" the stupidest part is... is that someone actually believes in me... " Kaspian" when you gotten the negative for so long, the positive has to turn around at some time, otherwise balance can't exist " Scourge" hmph when has balance ever been in my life" Kaspian "well never two late to start~ suddenly kaspian placed a sheathed sword next to him with a curved pirate blade with a crown light hilt Scourge" what's this " Kaspian" wedding gift , your welcome as he walked away

the sheath even had two red scars on it matching the marks on his chest



meanwhile

in the open sky over the open seas*

Slayer was standing with majestica



Majestica" so your going to catch up with your lighter half is that correct?" Slayer" mhm~ Magjestica" will you need me to back you up in case things turn into a fight? Slayer" to really I thought since will be attending a wedding it would nice to attend as a pair, after all I'm such a fan of social affairs ^ ^ now then lets go indulge ourselves my dear~ "





it wasn't long before the rest of the party goers started to arrive as the music from the bands started to fill the air and so forth

Snow" well I must say things are hitting it off pretty well " Victor" believe it or not your right I was expecting a lot of dry air to fill up everyone's ears but the folks are really getting into it " Snow" I told you to let me handle the eatery and things would go smoothly <3 if people have something addictive to stuff there faces with thing s will fall into place shortly after " Victor" well, sorry I doubted you" Snow" heh heh " Victor" as for scourge" Snow" there he is right now she pointed ot him afar leaving the temple with kaspian " Victor"instead of hiding away he should be leading the charge, this is his big day . or better yet they're big day " Snow" easy now, no pressure~ just let the festivities play out as they should and we should have a day to remember my love hugging his arm* Victor" I suppose your right " Snow" of course I am kissing him on the cheek as she laughed softly



Brass " wearing a gown like dress* ( can not come off like I don't wear this often DX" ( Vosh!) suddenly keith appeared in front of her helped adjust her sleeves and her corset and waist pants Keith" a just the sizes a bit, straighten out the alignment, and "Let" your girls breathe a bit more pulling her top down letting her chest out a bit more giving them room to breathe and your absolutely perfect <3 " Brass" o///o; >< this is why I just wear my normal shit and not this party garbage " Keith" this "party garbage your killing it, and why you should wear it more , and your fine don't worry patting her cheeks and squeezing her face.... "your" " boutiful" mmmmwah! kissing her sweetly as he smiled Brass" alright alright geez you treat me like a child >///<; Keith" I'm just giving you what I think you need~" Brass" what I need is-! sigh ..* suddenly the music changes to something more easy going* > >" Keith" how about a dance partner taking her by the hands asn he pulled her closer to him" Brass" you know I don't dance" Keith" wel ljsut let me lead oyu along and you'll be just fine <3 l3 as brass not having much comment only blushed and followed along*



as the crowd was getting spacious but livly majestica hovered by the food table staying out of sight



Majestica" "oh just relax and have fun" oh its kind of hard when your the only dragon and you stand out like a swollen tail taking a small plate of the meat variety available I never once considered myself a wall flower but here I am, trying not to make a scene because my boss wanted me to- (bump!) oh I'm terribly sorry I didn't see you- * suddenly noticing it was kaspian she ran into "

Kaspian" well the Goddess has a sense of humor it seems" Majestica" as her scales shot up a bright pink as her blush immediately became visible haaaa hahaha.... ( IM GOING TO KILL HIM I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!! I DON'T CARE IF I END UP IN A FISH TANK EATING SNAKE FLAKES! I'M GOING TO RIP HIM APART!! ) taking a napkin she cupped her mouth as she turned away trying to calm herself



Kaspian" are you alright majestcia? or should go by our previous titles, Seven and Six " Majestica" ...* suddenly her emotions settled as she became a dark purple as she turned her head giving him a bit of a side side* to be fair I almost forgot the number I was... given how badly I botched my last mission with that damn bat " Kaspian" ha ha ha wildfire is a bit of a handful but I've heard from a friend you gave him quiet a run for his money, to the point he wouldn't mind taking you for a ride" did you happen to enjoy it " Majestica" suddenly as he came to mind the purple in her scales turned to a light orange going on red I'd like to if only to eat him later, but sadly my schedule has been having me rather busy especially with my new "employer" " Kaspian" oh interesting~ well seeing the parties you get to attend I'm sure hes paying you well " Majestica" ( you could say that again... ) .. but what about you? what brings you here? Kaspian" well I will be working a bit of a double shift , I was hired as a teacher for the groom teaching him how to swordplay, and if he bested me I would join his crew" Majestica" ohhh interesting, is your pride not alittle dampened by the ordeal? " Kaspian" hmm not really the guy is a yapping dog with a ego complex but hes fun to watch, reminds me a bit of a another of my students, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were related " Majestica" your talking about that girl surge right" Kaspian" hmm "



Majestica" lets not beat around the bush. we both work as teachers at the sol king's academy, your a combat specialist? correct" Kaspian" hey, easy now I like to play treasure hunter sometimes , don't give away everything as the tip of his tail hung over the root of her's close to her butt Majestica " >///w///> w-well you know I like calling a spade a spade and getting to the..fun...part of the.. con...ver...sssssation as kaspian softly moving closer to her closing to space around them the soft orange jumped back to a reddish pink Kaspian" I recall you being more dominate then this back in the day" Majestica" things can change in the last 30 years you should be more flexable quickly grabbing her a shot of alcohol chugging it down, expecting some kind of jolt but nothing happened and suddenly her expression changed to a sour look of disappointment as her original color returned I almost forgot for a second how weak there alcohol is compared to ours " Kaspian" I know right, why else does drako chug a whole damn barrel " Majestica " I know right, I need two full bottles before I feel something XD " Kaspian " meanwhile there already on the floor half dead" Kaspian&Majestica" Aha ha ha ha! "



Majestica" sigh... I was a fool rubbing her snout..." Kaspian" hm?" Majestica" o-oh its nothing I um.. just some things I'd rather not get into ... " Kaspian" hmph...* leaning closer to her* I know your new employer is that red devil~ he whispered Majestica" O O....." Kaspian" you'd be surprised what I learn here and there l3 " Majestica" .......well the chips fell where they did and I tossed up my cards and left the table with a bad hand... as she turned away but suddenly kaspian grabbed her hand pulling her back towards him !?! " Kaspian" not a bad hand, just a different hand, the game is only over when the dealer says so, so as far as I know your still in there , don't miss out on something unexpected " Majestica" suddenly her scales turned to a hot pink as her tail swayed a bit ( hurk!) burping up a bit a smoke she covered her mouth slightly embarrassed Kaspian " looks like that liquor had some kick in it after all he smirked Majestica" ..shut up..." Kaspian" I agree now lets dance before we all have to sit and hear the minister give his speech"



as they hit the dance floor with everyone else you could even see, scourge even dancing with reia, as keith was giddy seeing them smiling and having fun as was everyone,



Brass"I can't tell whos having more fun you or everyone else" Keith" I just feel all the happy pairings in the air and I'm loving every bit it~ including the one I 'm starring at <3 " Brass" given how close you are I'm sure your starring at something else > > Keith" oh my angel I'm not crass but I can't help and indulge sometimes , but if I may in one little bit" Brass" fine " Keith" I don't like kathy getting so far ahead.. so.. I was thinking about us having kids :3 " Brass" O/////O...." Keith" its been a while love I can't keep us young forever, well I could but we don't want to wait forever do we?" Brass" w-e welll... um.. uhhh..- oh look time to switch off partners! turning him into a spin then pushing him away as keith was caught by someone else



Keith" she can't get away forever" Slayer" apparently neither can I " Keith" ......* suddenly smile vanished as slayers only grew wider crossing his fingers with his Slayer" hello~ brother its been a while , I know you enjoyed your vacation from me, I know I did " Keith" *becoming more stern and serious I heard you've been busy" Slayer" hmm here and there hmhmh~ oh don't give me that sour old face , remember to always smile, your never fully dressed without one~ " Keith" kathy wanted me to ring you in given the stories I've been hearing" Slayer" ohhh that women wants a lot of things, doesn't mean she'll get it~ l3 " Keith" what are you planning " Slayer" why spoil , I like to plan as I go , even I don't know where its gonna go ^w^ all I do know is stroking keith's muzzle as his eyes glowed softly blood shed will be for certain. just like kathy I love a good performance~ "





Keith" a good performance, you really think kathy will let you have your way with everyone and especially if you hurt the kids " Slayer" well if the kids don't get in the way then she'll have nothing to worry about now will she " Keith" she just had a good at me for what you did to nova" Slayer" its calls getting her prepared, shes not a kitten anymore and besides her mother went through worse before she even gotten the age she is now Keith " that's not the point, you and I both know why I'm here bringing this up now " Slayer" because you miss me, because you want us to go back to being the same body once again, trying to hold me back well I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you but I'm. not. interested. as they danced among the crowd



suddenly from a distance even scourge noticed keith and slayer



Scourge" aww shit. Keith" you think you have a choice in this" Slayer" clean the sleep out of your eyes darling, its "you" who did not have a choice and you knew that from the start , I'm going to reign hellfire across all the zones and reap the harvest that is to follow and the best part it won't even be under my accord it will be because they all want it " Keith" what do you mean they'll want it ? Slayer " you should pay closer attention to the voice among the councils and the dragons whispers from the cracks in the rocks, Miles is eager to start war with the acorn kingdom but he lacks the fire power to do anything but since I gave him my help he'll have just that tiny bit of confidence he needed to pull the trigger , inferno wants revenge on drako but sadly he wants to do it his own way so I'm left here sitting on my hands " Keith" I thought it was void walker that defeated him " Slayer" I honestly forgot cause I didn't care anymore but probably, then lets see oh right, king blue blur himself~ Keith "what? sonic has no beef with sky or the sol kingdom" Slayer" all raging voices are not silent, sonic feels feels hes getting old and his son isn't leaving the mark he should given the fact hes getting help from lein-da its hurting his eago whither he admits it or not but that fool loves playing denial , then we have a new piece on the board sonia~ shes going to be taking sword lessons from sky, why? because shes inherited the sword of acorn, truly a honor in deed* tilting his had down* now tell me darling how will sonic react to this little fact or even manic knowing his sister ig getting blessed and she doesn't even have to try" Keith" Grrr..." Slayer" hey I'm not doing anything my hands are clean, -w- this is all merely what I'm observing "



Keith" well if I reel you back in thats at least a good junk of this nonsense stopped isn't it " Slayer" while you sit at home knitting a new bra for that boxer you call a women, I've been gathering followers, recruiting minions of my own and adding to my power, and even now the whole reason I've come here now was for you" Keith" you serious... " Slayer" you thought you would come in and just leash me up and the day would go on as number.. ha ha ha.. no no no no~ I think its time we changed the rules, flipped the script and stead of you me being a part of you, your apart of me

as slayers eyes turned red he took his hand up sharpening his claws as he thrust his hand towards keith's heart but in that second scourge stepped in grabbed his hand stopping it



Scourge" easy ring master this one is under my watch T T" Slayer" oh well look at you, is that a threat I'm hearing ? Scourge" nah bitch its a promise " as slayer tried tp push back scourge pushed him back equally has hard as suddenly scourges eyes changes the white of his eyes became black as his pupils became red your not the only one whos been making improvements"

Slayer" ..... > > Mayhem" .........." Slayer" I see so you've learned to tap into your super form's energy, nicely done " Keith" you know what this means right" Slayer" certainly. but I will admit its been nice seeing you again , will see how events play out , " Scourge" what not interested in a fight" Slayer" I didn't come here to crash a wedding, I only came to announce my presence, snatching up keith would have been an added bonus but I can see someone cares , but careful next time you might not be so lucky intermissions are relatively short. he smirked oh and I'm not a horrid guest to leave my hosts empty handed snapping his fingers then dropped a gift box in his hands a gift for the lovely couple to be~ " opening up the box it was a black two headed rose with a blue rim along its petals my own personal batch, Mayhem calls them Hydra roses" Scourge" cute T T turning his attention back to him in that split second he was gone"



Keith"....... holding his head down " Scourge" look don't worry about him alright, " Keith" well maybe I have gotten little lax" Scourge" your house husband not a fighter, thats your wife's job, you just got stuck with the ring master " Keith kathy is gonna have a field day with me for this " Scourge" listen, your on my crew now , if he wants you or even if kathy has complaints she can come to me so in the end don't worry about it, you let me worry , about it okay " Keith" oh look at you trying to be the captain?" Scourge" I'm not the captain, I'm the king and a king demands respect where ever he is and I won't let those under me be bullied as he walked off he tossed the rose to keith give it kathy, roses were never my favorite anyway " " Keith" smiles softly aye aye captain ~ "



*as the sun was setting it was time for everyone to head inside as the ceremony for the wedding was about to begin*





standing at the podium



scourge took a deep breathe as he waited , the music began to play as reia walked down the hall as she took her step beside him



Minister" we are gather here today, under the eyes of the Goddess rejoicing in the holy bonding of two under the flames of the Goddess herself.. "



Reia" whispering I noticed you looked a little nervous for a bit earlier " Scourge" it just felt a little too good to be true honestly " Reia" okay, a little pre marriage jitters was all? I thought my dad might have said something to you" Scourge" no everyone has been singing songs all day metaphorically " Reia" good to know <3 "



meanwhile in the crowds



Majestica" so um maybe I'm shooting my cards a bit here but... >w> you open to- " Kaspian " relationships on the job are never really healthy" Majestica" well depends on who you ask I'm sure we can keep it professional , besides I have to considering I'm well, "quote", "unquote" dead" Kaspian" well just by the dragon core records, and you don't think that devil is keeping an eye on things" Majestica" I know he is but he said I can do whatever I want , I just have to follow his orders, so in a way its a no different then listening to ragnorak > > hunching over Kaspian" what would you rather have" Majestica"... I'll be real with you I feel like I'm walking in fog and right now the only thing keeping me steady is "hey" your gonna be a teacher now , I can't go back to my friend and I in a way dead so...I guess I'm on my own out side of well.. "him"



Kaspian" sigh... you know I raised two boys back in the day that were in the same position... lost, sold off but they knew only thing thing they were brothers and all they had was each other, I couldn't have offered much but I at least gave them a mentor in a way gave them confidence is living " Majestica" how sweet " Kaspian" eventually they forged there own path, proud of them both, as for me well all I can do is see where the wind blows, sorry I can't provide something solid your looking for " Majestica" you say what I want but what do you want " Kaspian" at the end of the day, maybe a good pact would be good and right now I've part pirate group " Majestica" but?" Kaspian"........... " Majestica" want to see what happens? no promises, no commitments seeing I could be dead to rights the next day" putting her hand over his Kaspian" taking another glance at her her scales turned into a light purple hue " Kaspian" your eyes there ruby red .. its ironic how red can go with everything" Majestica" always depends on the mood, just roll with it ~ " at that moment he leaned over her as there heads crossed leaning against one another in loving way * Kaspian" what have I got to lose " Majestica" nothing but to gain in my book ( especially for me <3 ) "

also with in the seats keith was sitting next to brass his eyes looking lost in thought



Brass" hey, you've been quiet since we sat down thats not really normal for you " Keith" h-huh...wha? oh ! eheh sorry xD jsut thinking about the ..uhh recipes for the after party kathy wanted and its little hard keeping to gther in-" Brass" keith, I know you lying " Keith" I'm not .. lying its true I'm.. I...* holding his head as he rubbed his head* alright.. I can't lie to you with a straight face*... Brass" what happened?" Keith" slayer decided to say hi" Brass" !? " Keith " he had a few words for me , talking about how hes going to cause a bit of chaos for everyone and I was told by kathy to put a leash on him puta stop to him etc , but then he swings it back around to me. saying its not time for him to be a part of me but for me to be a part of him... the thought of him overpowering me and jsut taking me or worse erasing me it would leave you all at hi s mercy, and... I haven't been im proving myself I know you say I'm strong scourge tried to give me some comfort saying I'm a house husband not a fighter" Brass" tsk its not like its not true she chuckled a bit "



Keith" but thats no good if slayer jsut comes in and wipes me away I.. I was lazy.. I let him get stronger then me ,, I let this happen and now others are gonna pay for it ,, I sorry.. I.." Brass" whoa whoa whoa easy.. wrapping hr arms around him tightly deep breathes... " Keith" but- " Brass" but-" Brass" deep breathes... you can match me if you can pressing his head against the roof of her chest as keith could feel her heart beat, he closed his eyes as he started to calm down. brass took his hand crossing her fingers with his as she held him close



Brass" look maybe you have gotten a little lazy but then again I never said a word cause well,, I'm glad slayer was out of your head, you seened so much more at ease and I could tell I know I share some of the blame on that front but green bean is right, your a house husband your a pink hippie that loves to cook and take care of the garden adn the chao and I wouldn't change anything about you , " Keith" why couldn't I have been like kathy and have a nice relationship with him like how shes does with killer " Brass " alternate versions don't equate to life experiences besides wouldn't it be boring if you were all the same?" Keith" maybe.. " Brass" and no your not a fighter but who says that can't change, your still powerful, you just have to dust off our old skills and start building up new ones, and who better to do that then me~ she smirked



Keith" well I suppose but.. " Brass" every day you impress me enough you cna use me as a pillow for the night " Keith" w alright lets to it >w< " Brass" starting tomorrow brass boot camp begins and I woke be nice cracking her knuckles but I'm sure you don't mind l3 Keith" :3 can we at least start from level one?" Brass "no~ , sometimes you gonna run before you can walk love~ " Keith" thought so "



Minister" now by the will of the Goddess herself I pronounce you both husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride

as reia and scourge shared a passionate kiss, reia tossed the flowers into the air and majestica ending up catching it

Majestica" ( fate don't play with my heart please ;w; )



on that signal everyone stood giving there applause and as the ceremony came to a close everyone enjoyed the after party under the night sky





* as the number of party guest slowly dwindled down to the family members , everyone was sitting at the beach taking in the open air as the sun set on the horizon"



Scourge" taking in a bite of the grilled fish Reia" I'm honestly surprised things went so smoothly" Guntham" what what you were expecting them to go wrong?" Reia" maybe not wrong but something , not as smooth I suppose" Snow" oh sweetie your being paranoid everything couldn't help but worked out hugging her from behind and pretty soon your gonna have your name up on a podium just like ours as you take over the family one day " Reia" heh do not forget scourge as well " Snow" well there is still much to running a crime family" Scourge" you know, can I be real? it was hard seeing you lot as a crime family, seeing you work hand and hand with king drako , it felt more like a underground secret service then a crime lot " Victor" ha ha well you'd be forgiven for thinking that. before; my family was heavily into supporting the pirates that would raid the islands supplying islands and others with weapons an such, but then that day came when Riverjaw approached my father and said "you work for us and king drako will support whatever you need " then slowly we turned into a service for the king, and honestly taking down some pirates was almost jsut as hard if not harder " Scourge" hmm riverjaw haven't heard that name before as he lied down on the beach Alex" he was a famous pirate after the dragons left during the height of the war, he helped dragon rebuild the kingdom turning it into his own, I've heard they were close friends at one point" Reia" but eventually riverjaw turned back to being a ruthless pirate even fighting again drako, once his best friend and during the last known pirate festival RJ met his end - -" Scourge " hmm " Kaspian" sounds like you folks were pretty busy before I came along " Brass" more ways then one having keith laying on her lap with her hands around his neck <3 Alex" well it does appear we're the last one here, maybe it s time we returned " Reia" upon hearing that, I did want one more thing, or better yet, my mother wanted one more thing" Scourge" that is" Snow" a family photo for everyone~ "



during this time cello was setting up the camera and just then everyone took the time to get huddled together with the temple behind them in the shot



Victor" you got the shot cello" Cello" its hard getting everyone in frame but think I got it*setting the timer* alright everyone say diamond on 3 * as he rushed in next to reia

( Diamond! ) ( Click!)



as the picture came out perfectly we cut to see it framed on the wall in the living room back home, as scourged looked up at it . suddenly reia walked up behind him as she leaned her head against him

Reia" look how far you've come, you were always worried about solidifying your place and now, now look at you I don't think you have to worry about that now my king~" Scourge" smirks softly no, I guess not " Cello " so how do you plan on telling father the "other" big news " Scourge&Reia" we're working on it "



meanwhile back in the guess rooms



on the bed keith was laying on top of brass

Brass " feeling better?" Keith" mhm " Brass" you don' really sound like it , Igive you a freebee and this how you sound? " Keith" because I'm thinking about it, the question dodged earlier" Brass" >///> " Keith" its been a while don't you think, everyone has there family even scourge is expecting, do we really want to be last place? Brass" this isn't a race you fool, its just..* turning her head away as she looked out the window* Keith" something your worried about?" Brass "......." Keith" lifting his head he sat up over her rubbing her cheek softly ..." Brass" why not just remind my mind to find out.." Keith" cause that's not how I do things, I want you to be honest, confidently thats now relationships work" Brass" biting her lip asshe took a deep breathe you've always the heart of the island and I've been the brawn we worked together always and I sometimes I fear if I've forced to sit on the sideline what if something happens and well I'm not able to help , I know your great at what you do keith I trust you on that much, but even after seeing your break down over slayer , I just feel like I got to be that backbone for us " Keith" which is why we're doing the training or the brass bootcamp as you called it as he sat up I know I showed a bit of weakness at that moment but it was only because slayer ...*sigh* scares me a bit esspecally now seeing how confident he's become"



Brass" he was out of your hair so I can't say I cared " Keith" but I do, and so does others. and I know I need to pull double for us if that time came and that time is now or at least when I get back in shape XD and I promise it won't take long , give me a week and you'll remember why you put so much faith in me he smiled Brass" ... in that second she pushed him down on the bed as she sat on top of him it was alot more then just that a whole lot more.. kisses him passionately" Keith" <3 hmm~" Brass" also slowly taking her sports top off that week time limit I'll hold you to it " Keith" !! no pressure ~ " Brass" sometimes pressure is a good thing , heres your intro lesson...* dropping herself on top of him as there session slowly began* <3





some time later

Sky was helping sonia with some sword practice in the training field*



Sonia" ( woosh! woosh! woossh!) panting softly as sonia lowered the sword* I can't do this DX" Sky" don't push yourself too hard just baby steps and build up strength " Sonia" never did I think I'd be someone who would using a sword DX" Sky" ahah well surprise surprise, so take a few more practice rounds and ill call it a day" Sonia" okay as she continued to do practice swings , at the same time sally and blaze watched from the patio from afar



Blaze" its quite the sight seing sky giving sword lessons to sonia normally he was always practicing with nova ^^ " Sally" mhm... " Blaze" something troubling you?" Sally" I suppose sonic having slight isues with sky, seeing there always butting heads, hence why I never mentioned this to him, I'm..alittle worried if he would find out " Blaze" why so? sonic and sky have been getting along a lot better recently :/ sipping her tea Sally" I know, but lately sonic has been alittle off kilter and seeing he's been focused on training manic I guess I'm alittle worried he would get alittle annoyed like... " Blaze" like? " Sally" like he can't train his own kids " Blaze" but sonic helped teach both of them how to use there speed didn't he?" Sally" yes but the majority has been self taught , manic has been making improvements and sonia has well.. shes been focusing on other aspects like her studies and technology with data " Blaze" maybe you should be upfront with him and say the truth, there is nothing wrong with letting others handle things you can't " Sally" I suppose .. " Blaze" everything will be fine sally " Sally" sipping her tea but the thing is sonic does get jealous, its not heavy but you can see it in his body language " in that moment blaze suddenly hada crocked smile asshe held her tea up ot her face





Sally" oh what re oyu sniveling at? I see it all on your face T T" Blaze" hmhm, I apologize its just I can already imagine sky taking pride in having sonic jeslous to one degree or another, I understand this isn't the right time for it but, I can't help but finding it funny I can call it " Sally" sigh my problem is that I "can" call it " Sonic" how as the training been going with lara-su " Sally" well we learned knuckles lied and said it was her not lein-da training him " Blaze" oh my " Sally" but manic seems to be getting a lot out of it and maybe even likes her hardcore nature" Blaze" the irony is too strong" placing her cup down as she stood up Sally" what do you mean " Blaze" sky left the freedom fighter for the same reason, he was too exhausted with sonic easy going way of doing things which is why he was so attracted to me. I can't help but see a similar connected with lein-da " Sally" I see what you mean, but I dont' think manic is really going to go far to the other side is he?" Blaze" onyl time will tell but for now do not fret "



* as both of the m arrived at the training field sonia was exhausted on the ground dropping the sword as it faded away in a glitter of light "



Sky" that should be enough for today , next time I think I'll have gardon run some training exercises that should be less of a strain " Blaze" plus, I'm sure he is more of a teacher then you " Sky" well we're doing a knight's swordsmenship not a eastern style there is a difference " Sonia" I can't feel my arms... " Sally" alright sonia lets go home so you can rest picking sonia up on her feet thank you for your hospitality* Blaze" your welcome back any time ^^ " as sally brought out a warp ring quickly taking it travel home



Blaze" now be honest, can you really see her wielding a sword " Sky" ehh it takes time and practice I trained when I was 5 to 13 before I was considered pro level " Blaze" countering on her fingers 5..6.. so about 8 years " Sky" and still learning Blaze" meanwhile your just naturally good at a scythe? " Sky" well me and nova it just genetics l3 " Blaze" don't start punching his shoulder Sky" ahahah don't be mad XD and actually we can throw snowfall in there too " Blaze" but how can you be sure?" Sky" even if he doesn't I had a plan for him, even ifs an artificial blade, I want him to share the same path we do "



acorn castle

Sally" so how would you rate sky as a teacher" Sonic" well hes okay, je just tells me to build up strength right now so I'm just swinging away, thats why my arms feel like wreck DX " Sally" well I'll see when we can arrange another session so forn ow just try to relax " Sonia" okay , I'm gonna take a shower is what I need T T" as sonia slugged down the all getting the cramps out of her shoulders



Sally" hmhm~ " Sonic" went for some outside help I see " Sally" ah! s-sonic DX Sally" heh no need to be jumping sal, I sort of over heard Sally" -o-oh so you know about ... Sally" sonia inherited the sword of acorn , I have to admit I wasn't really expecting it or if anything it would have been manic shurgs Sally" well it could have gone either way, perhaps even both, Sonic" both would have been better , so you got antoine to give her the 101 or is someone equally boring xD" Sally" thinking back to blaze;s words ( Blaze" just be upfront with him" ) actually I thought sky would have been a better fit seeing his background and the way of the sword, he was my first choice " Sonic" oh but sky exactly a knight hes more of a samurai I would say, at least when it came to the sword the grim reaper routine I think thats another story "



Sally" ahh..well maybe > > but for now we're taking baby steps and even now he's suggested having gardon take up the spot showing her the ropes " Sonic" well makes more sense honestly he chuckled Sally" hmhm ^^ well with that being said I'm going to see what we can have made for dinner tonight , so who knows maybe will make a special and go to chunks diner I heard they have an evening special~ she chuckled his cheek ^w^" Sonic" sure xD



as sally left his field of view suddenly his smile left hi s face as he walked towards the balcony staring out over the city

Flashback

Kathy" What has crawled up your butt! lein-da tries all the time to be a good mother for vanolo shes not only the hardcore dome you see all the time, and as for manic, let him breathe! hes not going to be a sonic 2.0

end



Sonic" its not like I don't mind folks helping out with the kids, but why does it feel like I'm getting replaced as if I can't do my job crossing his arms sonic and sword thing I can understand but manic learning from lein-da, its almost ironic everyone needed me for help outside of life but in life no one needs me , but even so I can raise and reach my kids I'm not a bad parent, why does ti feel like everyone treats me like one tapping his foot he brushed his head... maybe I need to talk to a real expert "



shortly after, sonic actually went ot go see tails



Tails" ?! sonic " Sonic" hey genius~ its been a while since I stopped bye Tails" what bring you over? " Sonic" I uhhh came for some advice " Fiona" over hearing you need advice , is the space colony crashing to the planet should I stock up on food DX" Tails" Fiona button it! Fiona" lP " Tails" don't mind her , you can come in you know"



coming in in the dinning room tails and sonic sat at the table



Tails" so what did you want to talk about?" Sonic" ... am a bad parent? at least from your perspective " Tails" ...okay that's a weighted question , bad how?" Sonic" I guess overall" Tails" well would I say bad?...no but your alittle... umm its kind of complicated. what even brought this on?" Sonic" well manic is being trained by lein-da and sonia jsut inherited to sword of acorn so sally decided to go to sky for help, so my question is am I not reliable? ( Pffttff!) fiona muffled her laugh from the counter Sonic" something you'd like you share fiona " Fiona" I jsut, I just find it funny you went to tails, why not me? or kathy. or nicole? but then again you want a neutral response not a bias one " Sonic" I'm sure by your laughter you know you would be against me, I need someone who isn't gonna be hard against me " Fiona" you always ask "what" the problem is but never the "why" if you could look at yourself and figure out would be a good or bad what would it be?" Fiona" I'm not exactly training physicist so do what I think is right for me and if its good for me, its good for others, doesn't that make sense?" Tails&Fiona" looking t one another nervously Fiona" ehhhhhhhh..... " Tails" debatable sonic, one may be good for one but not the other " Sonic" I figured rubbing his temples look I just don't want to look like I fail as a parent, I get giving the kids space, that's fine, but if they don't feel a need to even come to me then I feel like I'm doing something wrong" Fiona" pushing them away by getting in there face won't help either :/ sally told me about your fellow kids moment " Sonic" what do you mean?"



Tails&Fiona" Street sleeks! who the hell says street sleeks?!" Sonic" still cool though " Fiona" groans listen just let yourself be open and here for them , if they need you they will come , as long as your a space of safety they can trust you should have anything to worry about " Sonic" yeah I thought that too, but things aren't gelling as they should, the training is almost done with lein-da and sonia is starting up with sky, its like okay sure I miss out on the best years of my kids lives and I don't get to share any of those moments, sky gets to have it, shadow gets to have it, hell even knuckles gets to have it, and hes not even a fatherly type"



Tails&Fiona" ( the fact you call knuckles "not the fatherly type"? shows how out of fucking touch you are" )



Sonic" maybe I'm just over thinking it... " suddenly one of the robot bunnies came in pushing the laundary basket for fiona Fiona" thank you, I got it xD" Sonic" heh got your dwarf bunnies running around" Tails" cody's creation he makes them for kiara but he uses us as field tests" Sonic" hmmm " Tails" if you want some kind of advice sonic maybe taking it fro mme, after they stop following you around, they eventually grow into there own, some leave our sights sooner then others and as long you show them, " hey I'm here whenever you need me" I think you've done enough ^^" Fiona" ^^ unless your kathy's child where your forever bound to her though chaos she guarded against her newspaper on her head I know your tricks try something new~ ahahah OOFff suddenly pusheen tackled her in the stomach before vanishing Tails" I don't know why you challenge her.? " Fiona" hunched over shes get my son I have a right to say what I want ><; "



Tails"so I hope this sort of helpful sonic " Sonic" nah it was all good ~ maybe hearing others will help me see things a bit better, thanks for your time " Tails" no problem ^ ^ " & as they sadi there good byres sonic took his leave racing off*



Fiona" he just want an unbias opinion, I don't know where hes going to get it " Tails" I think I know at least one "



following straight after, sonic raced off to see shadow



knocking heavily on there penthouse door



Rouge" !? owo well color me surprised, wasn't expecting to see you big boy~ " Sonic" but then again who doesn't love surprises happy to see your as young as ever " Rouge" ears flicks ^w^ ( I wasn't even that old but your trying I guess ) trying to be a charmer~ so what brings you here. nothing dangerous I hope" Sonic" nah, I thought I come to shoot the breeze with shadow a bit, is he home?" Rouge" well lucky for you he is as are the kids " as rouge invited him inside shadow was sitting at the table with ruby in a basket next to him while suddenly midnight appeared on the the scene



Midnight" mom where's the tool kit? Rouge" it should be in the closet by the front door " Midnight" thank you, oh and hello sonic this is unexpected" Sonic" yeah just dropping by xD you and velvet still getting along ~ " Midnight" yeah were getting along really well > > Sonic" heh don't be a stranger xD" shadow's eyes shifted from his work to sonic* Shadow" is there a reason for your visit sonic?" Sonic" hey I can at least come and say hi can't I? by the way I was expecting to see omega " Rouge" the big red tank spends more time at the base then our house, its little too peaceful for him " Sonic" I can imagine < and here's the golden child of the hour as he peaked in the basket with ruby

Ruby" owo..... " as sonic picked her up in his arms cradling her Sonic" heh reminds me of the twins not too long ago brushing her hair when ruby reached grabbing on to her wrist got a strong grip ahah~ " shadow" counting down on his fingers ...3...2...1 " Ruby" ...(Bite!) " Sonic" YAahhhh! DX * ruby bit doow no his wrist like a bear trap Shadow" chuckling to himself ..." Sonic" alittle help pleassseee, before she draws blood..! " Shadow" sorry that tends to be her intent if shes hungry " Sonic didn't know your kid was vampire but given your wife and your lineage I shouldn't be surprised gritting his teeth through the pain Shadow" don't sound so surpsirsed he chuckled as she slowly prided ruby away from him* rouge I think its time " Rouge" I have her~ luckily I made a extra bottle~ taking ruby in her arms you think thats bad? imagine when I was breast feeding~ XD taking her to the kitchen Sonic" rubbing his arm asshe sighed you knew that would happen didn't you T T" Shadow" who's to say~ now what do you want " Sonic" well I came for some advice " Shadow" regarding?" Sonic" am I a bad parent?"



Shadow" anything can make a bad parent, in what way? " Sonic" well maybe I feel like the kids don't really trust me, I mean sonia is gonna be taking sword lessons from sky, and lein-da is giving training lessons for manic , like come on I'm the dad, I'm here why doesn't anyone come to me??" Shadow" because your very easy going, if someone wants someone serious your not exactly the go-to guy" Sonic" but I am serious, I'm not like "super serious" but I can at least tell when work needs to be done~ crossing his arms Shadow" right, your good for that moment and you go right back to what you were before " Sonic" come on shadow give me something here , I know I'm goo d father for the kids, I'm even helping manic even now" Shadow" okay, you suck as a friend , your horrible as a husband your only saving grace is your good with the kids I'm sure they trust you with there lives" Sonic" looking not too pleased with the answer okay, I get one out 3 thanks " Shadow" your welcome " Sonic" I want to improve okay, thts my reason for coming you and midnight have it good don't you " Shadow" well we don't exactly have fishing trips if thats what your imagining midnight is his own but he needs help learning more about his powers or something along those's lines I'm here I'm more of a support figure type of parent" Sonic" that doesn't bode well given the fact you got ruby coming up, what about her learning her powers, school boys sure your kind of concerned when prom hits XD " Shadow" * clinching his paper in annoyance "

( if I may add in my 3 rings boys ) as rouge walked out with ruby with a bottle in herh and



Ruby" -w- ..." Rouge" sonic shadow is a bit to a puzzle and he wont' crack for anyone, shadow does things that well I may fall short on, he helps midnight and he helps with ruby, it not be something you'd expect out of say.. sky or knuckles but maybe for us I see his love and I see his compassion and it feels real, and guess what not everyone wears there emotions on there sleeves and I should know " Sonic" he must be doing something right if you had ruby " Shadow" I could say the same for you given the fact you have sonia and manic " Sonic" we went straight for the goal you could say XD he laughed Rouge"...* mumbles* yeah in record time too... " Sonic" I know the kids can rely on me , I get that but maybe I'm sorried about not being there , that I wouldn't be there first choice, Shadow" ask yourself this sonic , are you good with a sword?" Sonic" I used one before" Shadow" when?" Sonic" in...a ...story....book" Rouge" oh boy here we go" Sonic" look I swear it happened no one wants to believe me but it did!" Shadow" alright can you handle sky in a sword fight then without your speed and swing the sword with some level of grace" Sonic" that thing takes grace? I thought you just swing it till you hit something"



meanwhile

Sky" his fur frizzled a bit Niyako" something wrong sky? Sky" I just felt... something off for a moment.. "

end



Shadow" how about manic new abilities , hes improving and reaching a level I'm not sure you even reached? its new territory for you, Im' sure he wants help on a level that he knows someone will understand it " Sonic" who else knows speed better then me?" Shadow" well sure, but are you able to teach it?" Sonic" well he learned the homing attack and how to run in place building up power~ " Shadow" great, and beyond that?" Sonic" he hasn't really come to me for more " Shadow" if your saying he didn't approach you maybe you should come to him? " Sonic" tails and fiona say I'm getting too much in there face, so I'm trying to ease up alittle " Shadow" well thats good, but you need to remember sometimes they will and sometimes they won't but don't feel guilty if they don't we all learn skills and traits from different things and people, nova learned how to traverse terrain not from sky, but from kathy when she was little" Sonic" like what the running on four thing?" Shadow" well no but nova adopted that herself and shes made it her own she believes it improves her speed , just like how kiara learned from kathys parents and so on " Sonic" so basically everyone learns from everyone and I shouldn't worry too much about it?" Shadow" exactly " Sonic" lookin down fora moment ..... " Shadow" your kids love you sonic, don't worry too much, let them grow into there own, but make sure you let them know your there and thats all you need to do "



Sonic" taking a deep breathe yeah, yeah your right thanks shadow I think this really eased my mind a bit green hill ringer and shaking the time its time for dinner back home " Shadow" well I'd suggest you make haste " Sonic" hey remember who your talking to xD"



Rouge" well thanks for coming~ l3 " SOnic" thanks for having me . oh adn rouge make sure ruby doesn't tear the bags with those teeth XD " Rouge" OwO.... " * wit hthose final words sonic took his leave , leaving rouge alittle disgruntled



Rouge" Ah.. Git..it! tskk.1 Ahh... HMMMM!! ><! " Shadow" deep breathes, as I said sucks at everything else but he can be a father at least and I don't' know what to call that " Rouge" but but! I ....HMPH! fine! if you need me I'll be on the phone! * as she storms off towards her room she calls kathy(



Kathy" Hel-loo~ <3 Rouge" kathy you got a minute?! " Kathy" ohh rouge whats wrong? you sounds angry ;w; " Rouge" because I am! I just .. maybe we can have duos late night girls outing or something I'm just.. I'm sorry I'm just.. I need to vent >< " Kathy" sigh I'm here girl what happened, what did he say? I know it was sonic TwT " Rouge" how someone nail so many girls but doesn't get a single thing about them... as she explained



to be con.
