Life as a Sonic OC Redux

*Rei's POV*

Okay, all of the contestants and those who wanted to watch the Tournament personally were gathered.

"For those new participating in the tournament and those watching, Outworld can be alien and intoxicating for those of other realms. Don't let its beauty distract you and stay focused. If we win, Outworlders who are more war-hungry will back off, but if we lose, our rival can become our enemy." I informed as I brought out a Warp Ring.

Blizzardstar spoke "Too bad none of the Mews or Mewtwos are taking part."

Orion cleared his throat, getting Blizzardstar's attention.

Rainbowtwo brushes her tail under Orion's chin, making him purr.

Blizzardstar spoke "Oh, sorry. I didn't know."

Asuna spoke "No wonder the other chakats call you a dumbass though Blizzardstar."

Blizzardstar spoke "Hey!"

"Okay, is everyone ready?" I asked.

Rarity spoke "That may be so Blizzy but you're my dumbass."

I cleared my throat, catching everyone's attention. "My question?"

Danyelle spoke "Dren and Zoey are off doing something but I dare not say what it is. so we need a substitute for the catgirl."

Ichigo spoke "I'll sub in!"

Danyelle asks "You sure?"

Ichigo spoke "I'm good with swords since my weapon originally belonged to Kish. Like I said, these swords are all I have to remember him by."

Danyelle spoke "Okay."

Danyelle's nose twitches.

Danyelle spoke "Your scent has changed."

Ichigo spoke "*Embarrassed and ashamed blush* That's all my fault, actually."

Twilight pops up with Josuke.

Twilight growls "You got a lot of explaining to do Josuke, as do you Ichigo."

Josuke spoke "Hey! It isn't my fault! I tried my best to get Ichigo to back up and cool off!"

Anzu pops up suddenly.

Anzu spoke "Let me guess, she got totally plastered about three months ago. One thing led to another and now, she's got a kid on the way."

Ichigo asks "H-how did you know?"

Anzu spoke "My nose can pick up on scents faster than Danyelle's nose can."

Danyelle pouted at that.

Twilight spoke "Don't make me call Ben."

Anzu giggles "It's okay, Dany's just jealous of my sense of smell."

Danyelle sticks her tongue out at Anzu.

I cleared my throat again, louder this time. "Is everyone ready? Tick tock."

Twilight spoke "Since we're down two she-cats, we need another substitute."

Anzu spoke "I'm in."

Twilight spoke "No Anzu, you're not old enough to take part. Plus your mom would set me on fire if you got hurt."

Danyelle asks "What about Vitaly?"

Twilight's right ear twitches before she jumped out of the way, dodging a thrown knife.

Twilight laughs "Wow Vitaly, you nearly chopped my tail off that time."

Vitaly scoffs "Hmph."

Spottedeaf spoke "Don't be a sourpuss 'Taly. You keep forgetting that if it weren't for Princess Twilight, we wouldn't have improved on our acts. And if it wasn't for Prince Sonic, your heart wouldn't have softened."

Spottedleaf kisses Vitaly on the cheek, much to Twilight's surprise.

Twilight gasps "What the?!"

Spottedleaf giggles "Remember when Cadence, Tails and Sonic pulled that prank on me?"

Danyelle spoke "Yeah."

Jericho zips past in a panic as a moody pregnant female Mewtwo Poke-Mobian with a few scars chases after him.

Danyelle asks "What the...?"

Orion spoke "Well, don't look at me."

Haru flings a Swift at the pregnant Mewtwo, diverting her attention away from Jericho.

Haru spoke "You need to take a chill pill Sivith!"

Sivith asks "H-Haru?"

Haru spoke "You might have remembered me as a human but I'm not human anymore... I blame Giovanni for that mess... I can't go back to my original form..."

Sivith spoke "Oh…"

Danyelle spoke "Can we get going please? We should have arrived on Outworld by now."

“That’s what I was trying to say.” I pointed out. “Everyone ready?”

The Harmony Guard spoke "Ready!"

Jericho spoke "Same here."

Everyone else coming along nodded.

“Then let’s go.” I declared as all of us went through. After we did, we saw a tall gateway as Liu Kang came through with four men and Wu Shi Academy students.

Man looking around with his phone spoke "Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore."

A crow was perched on Haru's left shoulder.

A creamy white furred Mobian cat with a brown ear chuckles "Wow, you insulted the feather duster."

Toto squawks in annoyance before he started pecking the Mobian cat on the head repeatedly.

"Good to see you again, Liu Kang.” I greeted.

Liu Kang spoke "And it good to see you too, Rei."

Twilight spoke "I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, leader of the Harmony Guard. The others are Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sonic, Roll, Michiru, Maria, Danyelle, Indigo, Ash, Asuna, Orion, Haru and Akane."

Nazuna spoke "I'm Nazuna Kagetashi."

Blizzardstar spoke "I'm Blizzardstar, ice dragon slayer. The other chakat is Honeystar."

Natsu spoke "I'm Natsu."

Haru spoke "The lardball is Muta. The crow is Toto."

Orion spoke "Then there's Jericho and Sivith."

Liu Kang spoke "I am Liu Kang, god of fire. *Refers to man in the straw hat* This is Earthrealm’s champion, Raiden. *Refers to man with the bladed hat* This is Kung Lao. *Refers to swordsman* This is Kenshi Takahashi. *Refers to man with the phone* And this is Johnny Cage."

Danyelle spoke "Nice to meet you four."

We saw Tanya a bit of ahead, before seeing Mileena and Kitana descending some stairs to approach us.

Johnny asks "Oh my. Are those…?"

Liu Kang spoke "Empress Sindel’s daughters, yes."

Johnny spoke "*Pockets away his phone* They do not disappoint.

Raiden spoke "We are Earthrealm’s ambassadors, Johnny. We’ll show them respect, not unwanted attention."

Twilight spoke "Mileena, Kitana, it's good to meet you both."

Mileena spoke "Thank you, Princess Twilight."

Liu Kang, Raiden, Kung Lao, Kenshi and Johnny bowed in respect.

Mileena spoke "And lord Liu Kang, welcome."

Liu Kang spoke "Thank you, Princess Mileena."

Mileena asks "You remember my sister?"

Liu Kang spoke "Of course. Princess Kitana."

Kitana bowed her head in respect.

Liu Kang spoke "May I introduce Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Kenshi Takahashi, and Earthrealm’s champion, Raiden."

Raiden bowed his head in greeting and respect.

Sonic spoke "I'm Prince Sonic Ogami, grandson of the legendary silver wolf."

The others introduce themselves.

Danyelle spoke "I do apologize, Princess Zoey is not able to take part in the tournament and her substitution is unable to take part either due to being pregnant."

Vitaly was seen twirling a knife.

Twilight spoke "That's Vitaly, he's the back-up substitute for Princess Zoey."

Danyelle pulls out the scroll she had gotten.

Danyelle spoke "According to the scroll I have, the fighters are as follows. From the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario. From Mobius, Prince Sonic Ogami. From Inkopolis, Meggy. From Spiral Mountain, Banjo and Kazooie. From Chakona, Blizzardstar and Honeystar. From Equis, Prince Ryōta Taisho. From the Pokemon world, Orion. Also from Mobius, Michiru Kagetashi. From the frozen tundra, Popo and Nana. From Earth, Bayonetta. And from Cynnth, Prince Dren Ikisatashi."

Kitana spoke "Hope you're prepared, champions. Ours are determined to win."

Mileena spoke "None more so than me. It's been too long since we've known victory."

Danyelle spoke "Oh! I almost forgot about Princess Blaze Ogami, she represents the entire Sol dimension."

Sonic chuckles "Forgetting about a certain rabbitgirl though Danyelle?"

Danyelle spoke "I almost forgot about Amiya."

Volt spoke "Don't forget about me!"

Danyelle spoke "Oh! Right!"

Tanya spoke "Princess Mileena... We should be on our way. Empress Sindel awaits."

Mileena spoke "Thank you, Tanya. Follow me, please."

We started moving forward before we were soon in beast-drawn carriages with female warriors accompanying us as protection as we were in a parade with villagers of many kinds celebrating and cheering.

Ryōta asks "Are those Centaurs?"

"Close, but no. These are the Outworld counterparts of Centaurs, the Centaurians." I informed.

A slime was on Danyelle's head since it was the mystery fighter.

*Danyelle's POV*

I've heard interesting species names as I listened to another carriage.

Liu Kang spoke "I see that Her Majesty once again spares no expense on the festival."

Mileena spoke "Should she not? It commemorates my late father."

Liu Kang spoke "I admire, Princess. I do not judge. As did all of Outworld, I valued greatly Jerrod's fellowship."

Dren soon pops up with the rest of Zoey's friends along with his two sisters in law.

Megan spoke "Mimi and I are filling in for our sister."

Sonic spoke "I need to run...."

But before Sonic could started running, we noticed cuffed Outworlders being escorted by officers before Mileena knocked on the carriage she was in thrice, causing it to stop as she got off and approached a female officer.

Mileena spoke "First Constable!"

The called officer turned towards Mileena to face her.

Mileena asks "Our route was to be cleared. This couldn't wait?"

The First Constable spoke "Should I allow Tarkatans to infect the city, Your Highness? Those arrested were harboring some here, rather than report them for quarantine."

Mileena spoke "The otherrealmers cannot be privy into our secrets, Li Mei. As Sun Do's First Constable, you must show better judgement. Perhaps that's too much to expect."

Mileena walked back to the carriage as I kept listening in with my keen hearing.

Raiden spoke "Princess Mileena doesn't seem to like her very much."

Liu Kang spoke "Li Mei used to lead the Umgadi, the palace guard. It was on her watch that the Princess's father was murdered."

I couldn't help but feel bad for Li Mei, Sindel and her daughters as we were soon in the castle at the great hall.

Liu Kang spoke "Worry expends energy for no purpose, Raiden."

Raiden spoke "But the tournament. If I lose..."

Liu Kang spoke "Focus on your actions, not the outcome. It is all you can control."

I think "{Now I see why Teermakus chose to stay behind in Equis... He's still a tarkatan.}"

But then some kind of draconic humanoid man showed up.

Johnny spoke "Red alert. Incoming stock villain."

Ryōta asks "Why are you saying that?"

Johnny spoke "When you're a Hollywood Martial Arts Mega Star, you can tell what people could be by lookin' at 'em."

Liu Kang spoke "General Shao. Do not let him goad you."

Shao laughs "Is it me, or is Earthrealm's champion scrawnier than usual?"

Kung Lao spoke "Would you care to test his strength?! Raiden will-"

Liu Kang spoke "*Calmly* Will prove himself soon enough."

Shao asks "Have you still not told most Earthrealmers that Outworld exists?"

Liu Kang spoke "It is safer that way, General."

Shao spoke "I suppose so. Your people's frail minds couldn't handle the truth.

Liu Kang asks "You presume them frail, General? Should you, given how frequently they win this tournament?"

Shao spoke "We will destroy your champion, Liu Kang. He and the otherrealmers' champions will taste no victory."

General Shao then walked off.

Orion had to restrain Twilight to stop her from attacking the guy.

Rei spoke "Calm down, Twilight."

Twilight spoke "But..."

Rei spoke "He’s not worth the anger."

Twilight spoke "Momo said that guy has a 50 foot pole up his ass."

Rei snickers "Be glad you only whispered that.

But then a trumpeting fanfare was heard as Sindel and her two daughters arrived and took their seats on their respective thrones; Sindel at the middle, Mileena on the right and Kitana on the left.

Sindel spoke "Welcome, members of the royal house. Welcome, our esteemed Earthrealm and otherrealm guests. We gather once again to honor my late husband’s legacy. To continue the tournament that he founded with Lord Liu Kang in hopes that it would foster peace among realms. May Jerrod’s soul watch over us with pride from its resting place in the Living Forest. Lord Liu Kang."

Liu Kang spoke "Empress Sindel. It pleases me to once again be your guest. *Bows in respect*"

Sindel spoke "Here, you are always welcome. Now. Let us meet your champion, along with the champions of the otherrealms."

Liu Kang spoke "Earthrealm’s champion is Raiden, Your Majesty. He has earned his place by embodying the very best qualities of Earthrealm’s people."

I spoke "From the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario. From Mobius, Prince Sonic Ogami. From Inkopolis, Meggy Spletzer. From Spiral Mountain, Banjo and Kazooie. From Chakona, Blizzardstar and Honeystar. From Equis, Prince Ryōta Taisho. From the Pokemon world, Orion the Mewtwo. Also from Mobius, Michiru Kagetashi. From the frozen tundra, Popo and Nana. From Earth, Bayonetta. From Cynnth, Prince Dren Ikisatashi. From Terra, Amiya. And the lord of all monsters, Demon lord Rimuru Tempest. Due to pregnancy, Princess Zoey is not able to take part in the tournament. And her substitution, Ichigo, is also unable to take part. But the two terrors, Megan and Mimi Hanson, are filling in their sister. And Prince Volt Ogami has teamed up with Amiya."

Sindel spoke "*To Raiden* You and some others seem nervous, young man."

Raiden spoke "We are strangers in an unfamiliar land. Here to compete against its greatest fighters. Yes, I am nervous."

Twilight spoke "With all due respect Empress Sindel, I believe it would be best if Orion faces off against Rimuru."

"As an exhibition match of course." I added as Sindel gave it some thought.

Sindel spoke "...Very well. I will allow it."

Jericho spoke "It makes sense that Orion faces off against the slime in an exhibition match since the two are clearly the strongest fighters among the visitors. Though with Prince Sonic, I do believe he has a score to settle with the plumber."

Later, Rimuru won, though it was a close call with both the slime and Mewtwo having won a round before Rimuru won the third and final round.

Orion coughs out a bit of smoke since he got electrocuted by Rimuru's black lightning attack.

Huey snickers "Uncle Face get zapped!"

Sivith was staring at Huey since he looked almost like the babytwo she had lost.

Sivith suddenly ran off.

Haru spoke "*Whispers to me* I got this, Dany."

I whisper "Better take Jericho too."

Haru spoke "Good call."

Haru grabbed Jericho and teleported off to find Sivith.

I ask "Excuse me Empress Sindel, have you or any of your subjects seen a shiny baby Mewtwo with leopard spots?"

Sindel spoke "I do not think so."

I spoke "Based on Sivith's reaction to Huey, I believe that her first baby was stolen."

Later, Mario and Sonic had their match, both rounds being double KOs, with the second one extending the second and final round as Sonic managed to win by a hair.

Sonic spoke "Whew! You really haven't changed, Mario."

Mario chuckles "You're faster than I remember."

Sonic chuckles "Well, you always were more adaptable."

Raiden spoke "Still, I cannot help but feel nervous."

Sindel spoke "As you should be. You and the other champions have a difficult path ahead. *Stands up* It has begun! *As Li Mei showed up* As tradition requires, Outworld's initial competitor will be Sun Do's First Constable... Li Mei. May she defend our realm's glory as well as she preserves our capital's order."

Li Mei spoke "Your Majesty, I will honor both the royal house, and all of Outworld, with my kombat."

Sindel spoke "If so, you will vastly exceed my expectations. *Whispers to Li Mei* Remember. Were it not for Jerrod's tradition, you would not be here."

Liu Kang spoke "*As Li Mei readied herself for the match* All you need do is your best. The rest will take care of itself."

Raiden spoke "Yes, Lord Liu Kang."

Li Mei asks "Shall we see what you can do?"

Raiden spoke "Hopefully, this will be the first of many victories."

Li Mei spoke "I will prevail, Earthrealmer. This fight is more important to me than you can ever know."

Sindel spoke "*With both kombatants ready* Fight!"

The match started as Raiden and Li Mei fought. The Earthrealm Champion fought with lightning and a lightning elemental as the First Constable battled with energy that exploded like fireworks, explosive sky lanterns made of said energy, and with attacks accompanied by energy forming a Shisa, also known as a Okinawan lion. Soon, Li Mei won the first round as energy lion danced up and around her.

Li Mei spoke "You fight honorably, Earthrealmer. But not nearly well enough."

The two fought with round 2 starting as Raiden soon won that round.

Raiden spoke "I will admit it, that tested me."

Round 3 began as the two fought. Both of them showed exemplary skills, but Raiden soon won the match.

Raiden spoke "Thank you for the match, First Constable."

Li Mei got up as she and Raiden bowed to each other in respect before the First Constable walked away.

*Meanwhile with Sivith, Haru and Jericho*

Haru asks "Siv, you okay?"

Sivith whimpers "N-no.... I'm not... I just can't look at that shiny Mewtwo and not see the baby I had lost..."

Haru spoke "Oh..."

Sivith whimpers "I just can't go through that pain again..."

Haru spoke "Sivith, calm down!"

Jericho slaps his sister across the face, snapping her out of the panic attack.

Jericho spoke "Look Siv, I may not understand what's going on with you right now but you need to relax."

Sivith stammers "B-But how?! I-I-I don't even know how to relax?!"

Haru drags Sivith off through a warp ring to the Chuddle Hotel.

*Back at the tournament*

Sindel spoke "My compliments, Raiden, on a well-fought match. We'll see how you fare in the next."

I ask "Who's up next?"

Sindel asks "General Shao. Whom have you chosen as our next competitor?"

Shao spoke "Your Majesty, I have chosen Reiko, my second-in-command.

A male Outworlder arrived.

Shao spoke "As a bot, Reiko was orphaned during the Kafallah War. Though captured, his spirit remained unbroken. He scratched, clawed, and survived. After the war, I took him in. Molded him into the perfect soldier. Few others are as well versed in the ways of war.

Reiko demonstrated his attacks as he then faced Raiden.

Reiko asks "In whose army have you served? In what wars have you fought?"

Raiden spoke "I have done neither."

Reiko spoke "Then you are woefully unprepared, Earthrealmer. This will be your final battlefield."

Sindel spoke "*As both fighters were ready* Fight!"

The two men fought as Reiko used some attacks with a red aura on either his body or limb(s) as if he was increasing his blood flow and strengthening his attacks. Soon, Raiden won the first round.

Raiden spoke "I may not have faced war, but I am a warrior."

Round 2 started as it soon almost looked like Reiko was about to win before Raiden managed to beat him and win the match.

Raiden spoke "Felled by a simple farmer."

Shao scoffs "Hmph."

Shao then left the great hall again.

Twilight spoke "Gah... My Cyniclon half is itching for a fight..."

Raiden asks "I am ready for my next opponent, Your Majesty. Whom shall I face?"

Sindel spoke "Patience, young man.'

Dren spoke "I’ll take him on, Twi."

Twilight engulfs herselr in flames, switching to her Deep Lilaic form.

Deep Lilac spoke "To make it a fair fight Dren, I won't use the Roar on you. Nor will I use my firebending."

Dren spoke "Alright."

I ask "Are both ready?"

Deep Lilac spoke "Yeah!"

Dren spoke "Ready!"

“Fight!” I declared as Deep Lilac and Dren started battling.

Deep Lilac clashes blades with Dren.

It looked like they were evenly-matched.

Deep Lilac wrenches one of Dren's swords out of his hands.

But then Dren did a judo throw, flipping Deep Lilac over his shoulder.

Deep Lilac flew at Dren, holding her sword in the exact same style as Deep Blue had.

I spoke "STOP!"

Deep Lilac froze in midair, causing the sword to drop.

Dren spoke "Looks like you're getting carried away."

Deep Lilac spoke "I'm so sorry for that stunt I pulled on you Dren."

Dren spoke "It's okay, you were in the moment."

After switching back to alicorn form, Twilight spoke "I'll have a little chat with Deep Blue about this."

"Dren wins by default." I said.

Later, the rest of the outside competitors had their first two matches.

Sindel spoke "We are adjourned until first light. I hope to see you all at this evening's banquet."

*That evening*

Rimuru was in his human form while talking with Raiden.

Some of Rimuru's subordinates had brought in food for everyone.

Shion had to be banned from the kitchen since she wasn't a good cook.

We were all having a great meal while some of us had conversations as Shion was sulking.

Johnny spoke "*To Kitana* I'm sorry. You're ten thousand years old? *Chuckles* Talk about aging gracefully."

Raiden asks "*To Liu Kang* What do you see in him?"

Liu Kang asks "He is a hero, Raiden... Though he may not yet know it. Do you recognize everyone here?"

Raiden spoke "Most, yes. from your descriptions. *Refers to Rain* Except for him."

Liu Kang spoke "That is Rain, the High Mage of Outworld. Not his given name, but one earned due to his mastery of water magic."

Holding a bulldeer carcass between his paws, Midnight chuckles "I'm 9000 years old but I look 25."

Tanya asks "*Checks on Mileena while whispering* Are you unwell, Princess?"

Mileena spoke "I am fine, Tanya."

Raiden asks "I know I'm to fight Mileena... but will I also face Tanya?"

Liu Kang spoke "By tradition, you should not. If you did, you would be tested."

Raiden asks "Why?"

Liu Kang spoke "Umgadi, like Tanya, are warrior priestesses... Selected from the first born daughters of Outworld. From infancy, they are trained to defend the royal family."

Raiden spoke "Outworld must see much conflict, if the Empress needs such protection."

Liu Kang spoke "Its past has been difficult. Though the last thousand years of Empress Sindel's reign have been a true golden age, the memories of that strife still linger."

Ryōta chuckles "That's nothing compared to what Loona, Twilight and I saw a while ago!"

Twilight spoke "Most of you aren't gonna believe me but I saw DINOSAURS! Three of them!"

To be continued....
