Again, Starlight has been doing her duty as Queen. Restoring all of the poor souls who fell into the hands of her mother, helping those who died around her area, and dealing with the removal of all of the evil energy that was attached to the castle. But, she felt like something was missing. It felt extremely eccentric to her, her heart saying that the final piece must be in plain sight. Fixing the biggest issues was Starlight's plan, but she never knew where to find the main problem. She thought, knowing that the issue must be in plain sight, someone who she knows the existence of. They have to have done grave actions, so grave that it was right of them to be entitled 'unsettling and downright morbid'. Instantly, she thought of her mother and all of the stories her father told her. 100 years ago, he met her by chance. He was at a royal party along with the Ice Queen's father. He noticed her approaching him, having a cunning smile that looked so charming. From that point, they spent time and got together. From how short the simple story is, she was certain that there were a lot of intentions that her mother kept in secret. How cruel was she from then to now? Was it all the same, or did it get worse as her mother's time around her father went on? Whatever it is, Starlight was deeply convinced that Nova X has many, many secrets that need to be let out. She had to get to the bottom of this, and she knew where to start. Starlight decided to search for Nova X, knowing that she must be doing what she usually does. Of course, Nova X was inside of the invention room, where all of the magical items she made are hidden. Starlight noticed that she was looking at a clear ice ball. It had a soft blue glow, making it a beautiful piece of inventory. "Mother, may I have a moment with you, please?" Starlight asked with patience. Nova X looked at Starlight, smiling softly at her as if she expected those words from her. "You may, darling." Then, Nova X suddenly teleported both herself and her daughter into a quiet yet luxurious place. The room had sparkly fabric for the furniture and silky curtains for the windows. "Now, darling. I know you wish for me to explain some things to you, yes?" Nova X questioned, picking up a golden tea cup and sipped the tea that was in it. "How did you know, Mother-" "Might I ask you how I know your destiny, darling? My intelligence of even the simplest things is not a very, very difficult issue for me. It only takes me a fast second to know when a certain stranger dies." Nova X responded in retaliation, making her understand that her mind is much more complex than how others see it. Starlight was speechless, her mother would indeed be the right person to be the main issue of the castle. She knew all that could possibly happen around her kingdom. But...it made Starlight wonder why she did all of the dark actions she committed long before she was born. "Mother, why did you end Sonic and his friends' lives? What did you even do to them...?" Starlight sounded a bit hurt. She looked at Nova X for a minute, watching her drink her tea. She placed down her tea, preparing to explain to her all that she knows. "Let's say, darling, that not only did Sonic did get his lower torso torn off and served to me as a servant after I ended him, but he was my little pet since he had no two legs to run with, making him the most useless out of every servant that I had. Then, I froze Tails's tails and let him die from exposure. Knuckles was simply blinded by my ice power since the ice grew to the point it got into his eyes, slowly killing him. Eggman simply tried to attack me but it only backfired into completely freezing him solid. Silver got caught into an avalanche I caused on purpose. And Shadow...well, he disagreed on a deal I had for him, making him go down the hard route and enabling me to end him then and there. Shadow could've had a few more days to last...but he chose to let me fight him and I won from that." Nova X explained, being so casual about it. Starlight still couldn't believe any of her mother's words. She's so cruel...cold, brutal and merciless, it seems. She didn't know what to say anymore. Starlight needed to come up with something, but she was all too mind blown by everything she heard...
This chapter is probably my most favorite. I love all of the planning I have for it. Dark matters ahead so warning!!! This is only part 1 of this chapter!
