Eggman brought me to his lair, asking me to sit down, Orbot bringing a glass of orange juice. Taking a sip, I eyed him cautiously.

"Why did you decide to help me?" I enquired, setting the glass down.

"I didn't decide to help you, I was just told to bring you here." He explained.

"By who?!" I snapped in return. This was too unusual. Eggman being ordered to help me?! Not likely, because I doubt Eggman took orders from anyone.

"By me." I looked over beside me and saw a person in a slim-fit black jumpsuit and matching hood. I jumped away from them, seeing the sharp sword at their side.

"Cool it, I'm not here to hurt you." They took off their hood, revealing a beautiful purple girl with long hair and cyan-green eyes. She had bangs just like mine, and as I touched mine, I thought she had some resemblance to me.

"Who are you then?" I cautiously asked, removing my hand from my bangs.

"I'm your second cousin, Princess Amelia. You see, your family were royalty, and your great-grandfather from your paternal side had a granddaughter who happened to be my mother. So in short, we're related. I heard that Courtney had infiltrated your gang and I'm here to help." She explained, giving a crooked smile.

"How? Sonic and the others won't listen to me, and anything I do doesn't work." I sobbed, but she smiled.

"I know Courtney, you see. She's a highly trained assassin sent to murder you guys. I was probably first choice but they sent Courtney, master of charm, instead since I already had a bunch of missions. I escaped the organisation which deployed Courtney when I heard that one of the victims was my second cousin, so here I am, ready to stop her. She may be good at fighting or charm but there's a reason I came out on top."

"What are you going to do?" I questioned, curious yet hooked.

"The only way to flush out someone like Courtney is to bring in someone who easily outshines Courtney." I got the hint.

"So that's you. And once you get everyone's attention Courtney will become furious and reveal herself! That's genius!" I shrieked, suddenly ecstatic.

"Glad you think so. I'll put my plan into action tomorrow, make sure you have a good night's rest. You'll want to be awake for the drama." She got up, dusting off her hands.

"I didn't catch your name." I hurriedly piped up.

"Princess Violetta Iris the Hedgehog, but people call me Violetta."
