Lupin: Dude you seem better now, anything good happen? *Elbows him* Did you find a girlfriend or something?
Sonic: My schizophrenia got cured when I was stuck between that face-off yesterday.
Lupin: Damn, I guess good things do come from accidents sometime. *Leans closer* Lemme tell you something, Vanessa agreed to my proposal.
Sonic: More like she was waiting for it for months. *Shrugs* I doubt you didn't know she basically announced that she will marry you when you propose.
Lupin: You punk... Ruining my alpha vibe all of a sudden .
Sonic: More like bringing you out of your delusions. *Puts his hand around his shoulder* Anyway congrats.
Lupin: Thanks.
Sonic takes a can of soda from a vending machine and begins walking away.
Lupin: Where are you going in working hours?
Sonic: *turns around* Already finished my quota for today..*sips* I will go apply for a small one week vacation and get my myself checked.*begins walking again*
Lupin: Damn.. I wish I had those reflexes and IQ, *looks at the fleeting figure* dude is basically returning to a normal person now huh? Hope he gets a girlfriend or something.
(I wish I added a dialogue like-Dude I got more wives than you got dates but thought it was too offensive for the fella and scrapped it)
???: So you wanna get a leave to get yourself checked up to see if your schizophrenia is cured? Well I got no problem approving a small vacation for most overworked employee.
A yellow furred jackal in a tracksuit says as he faces Sonic and sits in his chair. He is boros, the financial branch manager.
Boros: I always said that you should take a brake but you just didn't listen.. personally i am relieved i won't have to say our employee died from overworking.
Sonic: It's not like I was famished. I got good endurance.
Boros: Stop your babbling, you looked like a living corpse running on coffee and medicine those days.
Sonic: Now you are just lying.
Boros: *takes out a picture of Sonic's condition* I took it while you were asleep look at those black spots and half shrivelled face.
Sonic:... Didn't know you were that type of person.*takes the vacation notice and opens the door* Still i respect your preferences. *Leaves and closes the door*
Boros: ....*stunned* .. YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF S**T.
Sonic is walking down the footpath, making his way towards his apartment.
Sonic: I guess some free time really does help feel better... I should probably contact Caliburn° and tell them I am alive.
Infinite: 'Quite a good idea but Caliburn has been occasionally contacting the other version to give reports about You'
Sonic: 'Really? Got any news about what it is like over there?'
Caliburn: 'they had the other version of you act as your duplicate and Blaze had been running the kingdom in your stead... She occasionally asks for your condition.'
Sonic: 'Can you contact them?'
Caliburn: 'yes'
Sonic: 'Good.'
Sonic enters his apartment building, he uses the ruby to set up a barrier and brought out caliburn.
Infinite: i am always stunned when I see the potential of the 3rd stage ruby and the 2nd stage emeralds.
Sonic: *shocked* They enhanced again? How?
Infinite: You basically destroyed 'their' base, the leftover energy you feed to the emeralds and the ruby. The emerald are now 4 times stronger while the ruby could temporarily alter very laws of reality for some time. Like making gravity and weight pointless,etc. it also had it's capacity quadrupled.
Sonic: Great n-
Caliburn: It's done.
Sonic notices a small orb connecting to a string that is going into a swirling portal. He walks closer and grabs the orb.
Sonic: Anybody there?
???: s...sonic. is that you?
???: He is there?
Sonic: This voice.. blaze and .. Amy?
Blaze: It's really him!!
Amy: You finally got normal!! Yee.
Sonic: How are you two?
Blaze: good, it has been quite easy with the reputation of king Sonic. The destroyer of abyss.
Sonic: what are those kinky titles?
Amy: The children begin calling you that recently.. how is it going on your side?
Sonic: I got weaker, I will have retrain to get back. And I mean a lot weaker.
Amy: No wonder I felt your abilities fading away... Well.
Sonic: YYes?
Amy: How many women have you been sleeping with since 'that' day?
Sonic: eh?
Amy: Don't you eh me you bastard. You slept with blaze and that other version of yourself before me. I wish I could beat you up right now. Hell you even had Shadow fall for you.
Sonic: Wai- what? Shadow? You mean our world's shadow, Tails's sister?
Amy: Yes, She had even asked Robotnik's permission. Tails literally started making a nuke to make sure you stay six feet under the ground before Robotnik had him sent to therapy.
Sonic: hiek I ain't fighting him ever again. Surely he didn't meant to kill me right?
Amy: Well he was until he learnt that it was shadow who fell first and you didn't do anything to her.
Blaze: Forget about that. What are your plans over there? You ar- are you fine?
Sonic: Why is your voice so shaky? Did something happen?
Blaze: I-I-
Amy: You remember the knight called percieval? Apparently she and blaze got merged.
Sonic: Tf?
Percieval: Blaze and I meet after you left. I remember seeing our vision darken and the next moment we were both in one body.
Amy: Basically a split personality that is always active and can talk to the other personality. She also got her muscles.
Blaze: AMY. We talked about this!!
Amy: Stop overreacting, he was gonna learn about it anyway.. it's not like he gonna leave you.
Percieval : But.*voice changes again* I don't get why she gets so Shy when talking about him? She literally beat Gawain into the ground yesterday while laughing.
Amy: Probably no love experience I would say.
Percieval: Oi.
Caliburn: Um sorry to interrupt but my reserves are running now.
Amy: Okay.. take care Sonic.
Blaze: Make sure to not get into danger okay?
Sonic: Okay okay.
The portal closes off and the orb dispersed. Caliburn returns to the pendant to recover.
Sonic stretchs and begins refining his Bloodlines again.
He sits and tries condensing runes from chaos energy.
Sonic: Weak.. I guess until I reach stage 1.I would have to recover through the ruby.
The night went on and morning arrived, Sonic's focus finally lifted and he groans.
Sonic: I should begin Ki training again, just bloodlines are not gonna do it.
Sonic had managed to barely condense a D grade rune of Conversion for his Conduit and still needs 9 more to reach stage 1 but his body has again begin adapting to passively producing and storing Chaos energy ( Basically it's like math, Consider Rank D being 1 and stage 1 requires 10 points, he can have different runes or same ones in any combination and it effects the end result. Less runes are considered better as it means lower usage of time and less load on bloodline, same as the difference between a hundred sticks and 10 iron bars)
Just as Sonic thought of doing some Ki training, he heard a loud boom outside that shook the barrier.
