Hades & Persephone - Alicia & Sonic

Maybe there had been a peaceful, or at the very least neutral, agreement between the worlds once upon a time. But Moebius was filled with dark souls, and those with power tended to be the darkness. Is that why they were so attracted to the light? Or had the idea of a 'good Sonic' so fascinated Alicia that it had become an obsession?

Whatever the reason, she'd given the order and her will was to be obeyed. She waited as patiently as one could in her throne room, her fingers tap-tap-tapping along her whip. Amusement was on her face - would he submit because of her 'resemblance' to Sally, or give her a reason to use her weapon? It would be delightful either way. As she heard footsteps approach, she slouched slightly in her seat. She did hope her soldiers didn't damage her dear pet too much. It'd be a shame for that pretty face of his to be black and blue.

The doors opened, and she smiled. "Well, well, well...thank you for humbly accepting my invitation."

"Not particularly." Alicia answered casually, walking after him again. His resistance was just another layer to the game. She was more than happy to chase him - without his super speed, of course. "Unless of course, there are things you want from your Sally that she won't give you." There was a chance he wanted absolutely nothing, but in Alicia's twisted mind, she found that hard to believe.

Men were men, no matter what the world. They had their fantasies, their desires - some men just had theirs buried deeper than most. It was time to dig. "We're both very beautiful women, wouldn't you say?" She reached up to undo a button near her neck, and then fiddled with the next. "Has she ever rewarded you for all your heroism?"

The action of what she was doing wasn't lost on him. Still, he tried to keep things light and humorous to avoid any talk of more adult things. Maybe he could still talk her down. If there was anything Sonic was good at, it was talking.

"Heh... I'm always happy to celebrate with all my pals because it's our victory when we get the upper hand. I couldn't do it without 'em." Humility; something she likely wasn't used to seeing in a place like Moebius, where their counterparts differed so much from their usual selves.

To be fair, humility wasn't his strongest suit. Though in light of the recent events back home with their team splitting at the seams, well, that would drag out the humility in anyone.

"What 'bout your team? Don't you guys have fun together when you go and do whatever it is you guys do?" What did the Destructix do? "Kick puppies.. steal candy from kids.. other evil junk."

Stalling, was he? He wasn't even batting an eyelash at what she was doing. It was a scratch to her pride, and her temper began to rise. Alicia abandoned the strip tease, eyes narrowing slightly.

"They are my servants. Nothing more, nothing less. And they have nothing to do with what will happen between me and you." She wasn't going to be ignored, not if she could help it. Which was why Alicia then threw her arms around Sonic's neck, trying to both pull him in close and keep him still.

"This is my victory."

If he was honest, it wasn't that it wasn't tempting to let himself follow through with..whatever this was. (He still wasn't entirely sure.) She looked like Sally--was Sally from a superficial standpoint--and coming from a world where he hadn't been able to see or talk to her for such a long time it was ...cathartic to say the least.

Since they were so close, he idly busied his hands with doing up the buttons on the front of her vest that she'd so poignantly undone moments prior. "So. What. I'm one of your servants too?"

"Something like that." A glimmer of a smile played on Alicia's lips as Sonic buttoned her up. Sure, it wasn't exactly what she wanted, but at least he was touching her. It was a step forward.

"You'll be treated much better than my usual servants." Her fingers ran down his arm. "All the chili dogs you could want, living in the castle, obeyed by everyone save for me...Then of course, the special privileges that come with being a queen's consort."

"Lemme guess." Oh, he had a few good guesses as to what that could be given the direction of where she was headed. He fastened the button at the top of her vest and let his arms slack at his sides. "My own roller coaster? A tennis court? My own pony?"

"Make all the cute little quips you want. You're not nearly as dumb as you want others to think." To prove that point, she grabbed his cheeks, her fingers digging in, and applied a hard kiss. This time she'd show no mercy - by jabbing her tongue right into his mouth.

Holy--! The surprise was written clear on his face and the sheer surprise was enough to delay him doing anything about it.

Once he gained enough composure, he put both hands on her shoulders and pushed her gently back. "Cute quips are kinda my thing. Heh." Okay, he'd dealt with some pushy girls in the past--Amy was in a League of her own, and Fiona wasn't exactly mellow--but neither of them came across as so...what was the world. Fourthright? Straightforward? Holy...smokes? Yeah. That last one!

"Can't we go on a date first or somethin'? I mean, I know what you look like, but I don't know you. If I'm gonna be a part of this it'd be nice to know." Maybe it'd buy him time to get the chains off and head for the hills.

...Geez pushyness like this freaked him out.

"Exactly what part of this conversation has told you that you have any say in this?" Despite how hard he had pushed, Alicia refused to let go. Her hands found his shoulders, and now she dug in so hard that she had to be causing him pain.

"I don't care what you want, what you don't like, and if you even have any desire to be with me at all. You are mine, Sonic the Hedgehog." She bore her sharp teeth, hoping he'd finally understand she wouldn't be reasoned with, nor so easily fooled like Eggman and the other foes. "And I will never let you go."

The expression he must've given at that point would be a mixture of pain and surprise. "O-ow. Geez!" He yelped at her hands digging into him. If anything, it helped Sonic figure out a master plan on how to get out of the predicament faster than he normally would. If she couldn't be reasoned with, There was only one solution that made sense:

Run for the hills and hope she didn't catch him.

It usually worked in all other situations, chains notwithstanding. And so that's what he did. Sonic gave his best effort to turn on his heel and forcefully bolt for the door. Sure, no matter what he did he'd be weighed down by chains and she still had a pretty good grip (ow), but anything was better than this! Lady was nuts.

Alicia believed the chains would hamper his speed, but Sonic was already faster than anything alive when he was calm. So he was ten times speedier when he was panicked and desperate to get away - though Alicia had held onto him as tightly as she could, he slipped out of her grip, albeit leaving some nasty scars on his shoulders.

"Guards!" Alicia screamed, not ready to blame herself for sending them away. "Stop him!"

It only took a second for the guard to heed their Queens orders, but a second was all Sonic needed to snake his way out of their grasp. As soon as they threw the doors open, the blur of blue leapfrogged over one of them and booked it down the hall--At a slower pace, he had to admit.

Sonic darted down one hall. Then down the next. He looked for any hint of sunlight that could lead him to the outside and presumably to the safety the open air could provide. He might've had the advantage of speed, but he certainly had no idea where he was going. It was then he came to a crossroad of hallways. "All right. Eenee-meenie.." Guards rounded the corner and prompted him to dart down a clear hall. "This one!"

But another thing Alicia had in common with Sally was that she didn't just let her servants battle for her. She pressed a hidden button on her whip - not only did it elongate, but now it had a nasty shock for whoever would be on the receiving end.

As she raced after the escapee, the whip cracked in the air - and now the sound was twice as loud. "Get back here! You're not going to escape me, Sonic the Hedgehog! I OWN YOU!"

Sonic froze in place, his quills bristling and shoulders going taut as he heard the shrill voice from down the hall. It was a tone he'd never heard Sally use before.

That voice was much too close for comfort.

He bolted away from it and tried not to let the noise his chains make against the floor give him away. And he ran and ran, through doors and hallways until he came to a dead end in what looked to be a large ballroom that hadn't been used in some time.

"Aw, nuts." Dead ends were not good. He ducked behind one of the large pillars.

They managed to follow him all the way to the ballroom, but it was a pretty spacious area. Alicia snapped her fingers, alerting her men. "Stay at the doors. Don't let him pass."

She slowly walked into the room, her heels clicking on the marble floor, her whip dragging alongside on the floor. A bit of dust flew here and there, showing off the room's age.

"You can't hide forever, Sonic. No matter where you go, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth...and the next earth, and the next, wherever you are!" A hard crack of the whip as she approached the pillars. "What does that insipid little princess have that I can't give you? She'll never want you the way I do!"

"Yeah. Thank my lucky stars for that." He muttered.

Sonic looked around. The ballroom was nothing but a long hallway but.. there were small windows near the roofline. If he could climb up high enough that was his ticket out!

He made a break for the far end of the room that looked like it could have some decent things to climb. "Sorry, lady. Clingy girls just aren't my type." Well, there went his position. Couldn't hide it for long anyway in a sparsely populated room anyway.

"How dare you call me clingy!" If Sonic was thinking of comparing her to Amy Rose, or even worst, that lunatic Rosy...! But now that she saw him, she had a target. She ran after him, throwing her whip as hard as she could to either ensnare him or smack him, depending on how far away he got.

"Get over here!"

"Like that'll happen!" He tried to make his way elsewhere, but unfortunately... he didn't account for the length that her whip could cover as much distance as it did. As he ran he felt something catch him by the wrist and jerk backward, which sent the rest of him careening face-first into the floor.

But that wasn't the painful part. More so was the crackling shock he felt in spite of whatever had grabbed him, which sent a searing shock through his system. "Nghhh!!" He tried to get up even if his muscles didn't want to cooperate.

Seeing Sonic go down was perhaps one of the most beautiful things Alicia had ever seen in her life, which was probably why she licked her lips as she calmly walked down. "Careful now... my whip has over 50,000 volts with every touch. It'd be such a shame to singe that handsome fur of yours."

Now at his side, she placed her boot on his back, pressing him down to the floor even further. "But I'm willing to forgive you. Your bold nature is one of the things I admire about you, after all."

Electricity had a funny way of making his mind clearer than before and yet make his muscles refuse to obey whatever he told them. It made it especially aggravating when he was mentally telling himself to move and nothing happened.

Sonic teeth rattled as he tried to lift himself unsuccessfully from the ground only to find a foot in the crook of his back.

"N..nnn.." Come on! Why wouldn't his mouth move? He managed to laboriously lift a hand and plop it in the ground again as he strained to get back up. "Let...g...o..." Aw, crap.

There was one last humiliation left in store. "How about this? I'll let you go, chains and all, if you do one thing."

She took her foot off of Sonic's back, and stomped it in front of his face. "If you lick my boot, you're free to go." She sincerely doubted his ego would allow him to do it, but more than anything she wanted to see what his expression would be."

His eyes narrowed into a somewhat piteous look. He wasn't surprised or even angry at the request, he just looked deflated by it. "Heh....Liar." He mumbled. If she was going as far as to hunt him down like she had done, there was no way she would just let him go with no strings attached.

Sonic managed to master his muscles enough to slowly place both hands on the floor and try to weakly push himself up against the weight of her foot on his back.

"You know," He breathed in. "you might be able to use this ballroom for more than collectin'...dust if you were nicer to people." Obviously, none of the people in her Kingdom were showing up to any parties here. And given his present situation he couldn't blame them.

"It was worth a try." With a delighted little cackle, she stepped off of him, curling her whip back up into its holster. "Besides, what do I care about other people? I have power, and I have you. There's nothing else I need."

She snapped her fingers, getting the attention of her guards. "Have his first meal ready... Once I'm sure he won't throw it up. And have everyone stationed at all the doors, in case he tries this little stunt again."

Right. If she really didn't need anything else outside of power, then he doubted there was any reason for her to have dragged him to Moebius.

Sonic pushed himself up and tried to stand, but couldn't quite get his muscles to cooperate enough to stay upright. He sat back down on the ground with his legs crossed and sighed. 'Geez, that thing packs a punch. I'm surprised it didn't knock me out cold.' He thought which scratching the side of his face.

"Think whatever you wanna, but you need folks on your side. Queen's need their people to be on their side. If you don't have that then you're not gonna rule for very long." If they weren't on her side, someone was gonna eventually boot her off that throne.

Alicia reached over to scratch him behind the ears as if he was nothing more than a pet - which is how she saw him. It was almost adorable how he thought a few sweet words would change her after having her whole left set this way. It was both foolish and admirable.

"Things work a little differently in this world, in case you've failed to notice." She said as she played with his ear. "Fear is a far greater tool than respect. Any threats to my rule are dead."

Ugh, if it were the person he knew with that face back home, he wouldn't have minded getting a scratch or two behind the ear. But here he couldn't help but weakly reach up and try to shove her hand away. "Yeah. Scourge said something along those lines too before I beat his face in." He breathed out. "Where's he now? Jail?"

"Don't you worry about him." Which was quiet code for even she didn't know. Scourge, much like Sonic, played by his own rules and was almost impossible to keep down. There was a shoot-on-sight order for everyone in the kingdom. But this wasn't a necessary detail that Sonic needed to be informed about.

"He thinks he's invincible because of his speed... Just as you did seconds ago, I imagine. But take that away, and you're little more than a handsome chatterbox. "

"Oho. She underestimates me." He crooned smoothly. True, It was a pain to do things without speed but it was far from impossible. He reached forward and tugged on the chains the bound the two anklets together.

After a moment more, he was able to get back up onto his feet and steady himself enough to stay upright.

"I'll get outta here, speed or no speed. And afterwards I'm gonna get you back for disruption' my night." His form of revenge would be something funny and harmless, like dying her hair green.

But Alicia wasn't so harmless. She grinned with wicked glee, her sharp teeth nearly glistening. "Then you'd better make sure it counts, hedgehog. Because I'll keep coming after you, again and again, until one of us is dead."

She grabbed him by the jaw, yanking him forward, nearly smashing their faces together. "It takes a hard will to survive in this world, and I'e had to claw my way to where I am. I have no problem doing whatever it takes to make you mine. This is going to be a long game for you and I. And I don't intend to lose."

"...Kgh..!" OW. Sonic winced. Did she have to be so rough with smooshing his face like that?

Even so, he gave a low chortle. "You wouldn't believe it, but that's not the first time I've heard that kinda threat that this week." Heh. Being a hero sure warranted him a lot more threats than the average person.

He reached up and tried to pluck her hand from his face, though he didn't use nearly the amount of force she was using. She might've been pushy, but he didn't wanna hurt her.

She allowed it, smiling all the while. Alicia then clapped for her servants. "Have the prisoner taken to my room. I assume he could use a nice, long rest. Unless he'd like to make any more attempts today... I certainly wouldn't mind."

She touched the whip on her belt but didn't take it out again. Just a little warning in case he tried.

Implication understood. Not that he minded, since another escape attempt was inevitable. Admittedly though, he could use some food and a nap.

The guards approached and Sonic and grabbed his arms at their Queens order. "Hey, watch the shoulder." He complained. Her whip had yanked him around enough to be sore.

He was l escorted out of the front of the ballroom and down the winding halls to the Queens room. It wasn't long before he took to curling up on one side of the bed for a nap.
