Guardian Sin- For That Which Is Ours
By InuSonishaUnlimited
Disclaimer- Okay, although I wish it so, I don't own the Sega characters present in this fanfic. Also, some powers seen in the story may have been used by others and if so, suck it. This is the follow-up to Guardian Cross- The Trail of Naught and Unknown, my first story and the first story of the series. This one is sort of a Sonic x Tikal and Sonic x Amy story, but there will be other couples either with Sonic or someone else. Refer to preview from final chap of my first story for overview. Also I will use some scenarios of other fanfics in my story, giving credit as well to the author. From here on out, I also want to give thanks to Capcom for a concept that MegaManZX fans will recognize! Well, here it is and enjoy! XD
Sin 7- Envy- Destiny Achieved Yet...
Sonic
Heroism, Darkness, Light, Evil, Change...I stood for all these things and now would be the chance to win this. I would not fail them, not now or ever. The battle would be won by the light and darkness, represented by me. I stood firm before Norusai ready as he stared me down with his sword at the ready.
Norusai: This is how it ends...I could have forseen this...Prepare to battle me...Visandre...
Sonic: Let's go, Norusai. Your reign of terror ends today!!
We flew straight at each other, swinging blades wildly and clashing with each swing, spraying sparks across the sky. Everyone observed the battle, Devils and Warriors alike. Combat on the ground stopped dead as everyone observed the deciding battle.
Tails: This is all him...he's gotta win this...
Shadow: Yeah, just like always, except he has no choice this time...
Silver: I hope he understands the gravity of the situation...
Riverge: He's got this down all the way...
Jizalia: You can do this...
(Blaze's Apartment)
Blaze: Good luck, blue boy...
Amy: We're all rooting for you...
(Mystic Ruins)
Cream: Mr. Sonic, you can win this...
Cheese: Chao chao...
(Angel Island)
Knuckles: Those sparks...must be Sonic...
Rouge: Hopefully not in over his head again...
(The Past)
Guardians: We can see the sparks of combat here as well? Wow, look at that... This is really it...
Skye: Sonic, our fate is in your hands as well...
Echide: Well, I'll be damned...
(Back at Station Square)
Another cross of blades as we passed each other once again until we both stood still in the air. We knew what needed to be done, what the result would have to be, in our seperate thoughts anyway.
Sonic: Only one of us will come out alive here...
Norusai: Yes, you know what I am thinking...only one of us gets to go alive and the other...
Sonic: Well, I agree! YAHH!!
Cheers from both wounded, still-standing and even the spirits of Station Square rang out all over the city as the battle intensified. We crossed swords and the power struggle started as our swords stood firm with us, our eyes fixed upon each other's. We pushed away from each other, both of us panting from the weight of the battle. I needed to end it and now.
Sonic: I can't let this continue any longer...come on, I know you hear me, Seven Servers who possess power, enriched by the heart...the controller serves to unify the chaos...Let your light help me out again...help me win this for the sake of everyone who fought their hearts out...it's your turn to fight... SEVEN SERVERS OF CHAOS!!
The old faithful Chaos Emeralds came forth, bestowing upon me that great power of the people's hearts in the golden glow of my Super form. Two new golden wings grew from my back as I took on my Super form. Crimson eyes glowed as I stared down my enemy.
Norusai: No, it's not possible...the Chaos Emeralds...they supply you with their power once more!?
Super Sonic: You don't get it, do you? I've got everyone on my side, pooling their strength from their hearts to me. You've got no one supporting you, Norusai. You've slain everyone that supported you, what is there to go back to once you've won?
Norusai: Heh heh...ha hahahahahaah! You fool! I've never relied on anyone for their "hearts"! I gain power from the fear I instill with others. Yet now that they have such confidence within you winning, I am not pooling that fear within me. It matters not, you still need to defeat me! Let's see you do that!!
Super Sonic: If that is what you wish...EVERYONE, LETS TAKE HIM DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
Both of us covered ourselves in energy, golden for me and dark golden for Norusai. About a second later, we blasted towards each other, moving at a speed nearly unseen by anyone but ourselves. We eventually made contact, crossing our paths and going straight through each other. I felt my sword hit something but I wasn't too sure as to whether it was him or not. I landed on a building not too far from the impact point and he did the same on a building not too far from me. He was on the edge as he turned to face me and I turned to face him.
Norusai: ...I knew...it would be...
Super Sonic: Norusai...?
Norusai: ...He was right after all...Quikxorn...you bastard...you're always right...I guess that means...
Super Sonic: ...Norusai...
Norusai: You've won, Visandre Sonic the...Hedgehog...You've...defeated...me...ugh...
He went down straight into the ground, his wings ripped and his body broken. I floated down there to see the carnage in his eyes, the blood coming from his mouth and the utter pain in his eyes. I looked with pity, to say the least...
Super Sonic: Norusai...it's time you realized your own destiny...you belong in the Devilworld. You need to go back...
Norusai: ...Pity...I envy...that in a warrior...a gift...I don't have...
Super Sonic: Go back, Norusai. Then we can battle again sometime.
Norusai: ...Heh...no thanks for the rematch...but I will go back...to serve as the ruler of my dark realm once again...I'll never see you again...
Super Sonic: Heh, come on, ya big stud. Just go already...
Norusai: I'll hate myself for this later but, thank you Visandre...
Super Sonic: Yeah, I owe you some thanks as well...for helping me discover another part about myself...
Norusai: Sayonnara, Sonic The Hedgehog...
With that, he simply disappeared into the earth from a huge, reddish hole that seemed to pop up from outta nowhere. All the Devils disappeared as well, the huge red cloud overhead too. I looked around and saw the results of these happenings. Bodies, both wounded and dead, were scattered all over the place. Blood covered the streets as well, buildings and other things destroyed or damaged. The reality of the situation took its toll, but all-in-all nothing too bad. Or at least so I thought. Tikal and the others, as well as the Chaos Emeralds separated from my body and appeared before me.
Quikxorn: Congratulations, Sonic. You've done us all proud.
Roucorusainium Z: Indeed, I am glad to have served you.
Roucorusainium Devils: Yes, we were most impressed by you.
Illumystic: Yes, the world is at peace once again.
Quikxorn: Back inside, Roucorusainium. Illumystic, you can return to the past, as will another...
Illumystic: Correct, well good luck to you Visandre.
Sonic: Okay then.
Quikxorn and the Roucorusainium went back in me, the Chaos Emeralds went to who-knows-where and Illumystic disappeared to the past she originated from. It was just Tikal and myself before my friends in the center of the city. Silence rang throughout, somewhat foreshadowing something to me, something I wasn't sure I could handle.
Tikal: Sonic...It's been wonderful to be with you for all this time but...
Sonic: Hold on a second. What's up with you? You sound like you're saying goodbye or something...
Tikal: This all began because of the mountain Mt. Retribution in my time and when you crossed over, the seal was weakened. But it wasn't until I crossed over to your time that the mountain was opened...and the Devils were released.
Sonic: Well, that much I can understand but...
Tikal: Crossing over to other times for too long...is the cardinal sin of the world... I'm not meant to be in this time, nor are you meant to be in my own...
Sonic: Wait a minute...so that means that you...
Tikal: I need to stay in the past...whereas you belong here in the present...
Sonic: So...that's it?! We go through all that, defeating Devils and everything else, losing many others and we just separate, just like that!? How in the hell is that fair...?!
Tikal: Sonic...please try to understand...all has not been in vain. You've ensured a future for us all now, Sonic.
Sonic: But at this cost!? What was...what was the point if I have to say...goodbye to you...?
Tails: This isn't any easier on her, Sonic.
Shadow: You can't change what was to come...
Silver: Accept this, Sonic.
Quikxorn: We've all worked for this outcome, Sonic. Selfish desire doesn't fit here...
Riverge: The battle has been won, yet now...
Jizalia: Please understand her...
Sonic: I know...I know...but...but...
Tails: Come on, guys. We'd better leave them alone.
Shadow + Silver: Good luck there, pal.
Tikal: Wait...Jizalia, please stick around. I have a favor to ask of you.
Jizalia: Of course.
It was just Tikal, Jizalia and myself now in the center of the city, as the moment began to truly sink into me. I knew what was coming, but still...
Tikal: Sonic, I truly care about you and it truly pains me to go. Yet, I do not wish for those pains to remain within the both of us. Please do me this favor when I depart...
Sonic: ...of course. What is it you want me to do?
Tikal: Be happy...keep your thoughts for another as well as myself...do not linger in the past...
Sonic: Do not linger in the past...?
Tikal: I do not want you to mourn my departure. I want you to remain the free spirited hedgehog I fell in love with. With another, so please...
Sonic: ...Well, if that's what you want...then I shall do that.
Tikal: Jizalia, I have a favor to ask of you as well...
Jizalia: Yes, what is it?
Tikal: Please take care of Sonic...Give him the love and affection that I am unable to...
Jizalia: I shall, but you are forgetting something...
Tikal: What is that?
Jizalia: Affection doesn't involve being near someone...or simply feeling something. As long as you have your memories, you and Sonic will always be connected to each other.
Tikal: Jizalia...thank you for that...
She was starting to fade, so she came closer and gave Jizalia a sisterly embrace. Then she came over to me and stared into my eyes as I stared into hers.
Tikal: Goodbye, Sonic the Hedgehog...I will never forget you...
Sonic: The same with me, Tikal...I shall never forget the times we had...Good luck to you...
We shared our final kiss, yet the second after her lips touched mine, she disappeared in a flash of light. I never expected that to happen at all, since our last separation four years ago. The very bracelet that I gave her appeared in my hands, glowing with the light. I only looked at it for some time before I knew what I needed to do.
Sonic: Jizalia...please take this. I want you to have this.
Jizalia: Sonic...this means so much...
Sonic: This bracelet was made with the love and affection I have for whomever wears it. Please place it on your arm.
She did and it fit just as perfectly as when I gave to Tikal the first time I gave it to her. A strong feeling overtook my heart as it fit.
Sonic: "sniff" It fits you so perfectly...so beautifully..."sniff" I'm so happy...
Jizalia: Sonic...come here...to me...
Sonic: ..."sniff" Oh, Jizalia...!
She embraced me as tightly as she could, tears coming down both our eyes as we stood there. I would never forget Tikal, nor the feelings I've felt for her. To lose someone is a pain not many can overcome. It is a wound that heals uneasily for anyone. Our tears showed that and once they diminished, we stared into each other's eyes. That same glimmer of light and hope was present in her eyes. Under the setting sun, we kissed each other, knowing that it would be our own future at hand. We prayed for Tikal's future to prosperous, and prayed for our own future to be the same. Forever in my heart...Tikal...forever in my heart...
