Sonic: Beyond the 7 Seas

Chapter 3

Sonic

At first I thought Olivia was Marine and that we somehow ended up in the Sol dimension. But I was proven wrong very quick.

We are dragged to a throne room. The room is made of glass holding back water and lined with gold on every surface. Inside the tanks is a coral reef with fish of every color.

"Your majesty, I have brought the three you half sought for." The echidna bows and leaves.

Knuckles, speaking like he's from the middle ages?

"You didn't kidnap them did you?" Says a voice. We look up to see, Blaze? Dressed in a white dress and gold jewels all over her arms, fingers and tail.

"Hello travellers, forgive my men for dragging you here against your will." She says standing up and walking down the long staircase that leads to her throne. Her robe drags along the ground, the white perfectly highlights her purple fur and the gold jewels match her eyes wonderfully. "I am Queen Amara. It is a pleasure to meet you." Her heels make her tower over me and my eyes are drawn to the blue raindrop shaped gem on her forehead that glows in timing with her heartbeat. "I'm sure you're wondering why I asked you here."

"Cut to the chase." I say

"Last night, I was out walking through the town when I heard a cry for help when I got to the area of the attack I learned you had beat me to it."

"Sorry I didn't leave any for ya-"

"You're not in trouble." She interrupts me "I wanted to thank you. It's been years since I've seen such heroism."

"You're welcome, I don't own all the credit however." I say

"Yes. Sonic, Tails how would you like to go on a secret mission for the Queen?" She asks and before I can reply she continues "the world is in danger Sonic. Lira, the Queen of all our worlds monsters has been scheming to destroy our world for centuries but now she has discovered a power source capable of such destruction. I have not been able to leave my kingdom to protect it but if I had someone to protect me, I could sail the seven seas and put a stop to this once and for all."

"So you need a bodyguard?" I ask

"No, I need a crew. Sonic, you and your friends must come with me and get a hold of this power source before Lira can get to it."

"This sounds exciting, I've always wanted to join a pirate crew." Olivia smiles.

"What'd you say?" Tails asks standing beside me. Lemme get this straight they want me, to sail the ocean and destroy the monsters that live beneath it? That's crazy, I can't even swim.

"This is not a decision, it's an order." Amara says firmly

"I guess I'll go then." I shrug

"We set sail first thing tomorrow, don't be late." She says "you are dismissed, Torik please show these three where they'll be staying."

The red echidna leads us out of the room.
