[Sonic's POV]

"Oh man! It's too early, can we practice later?" I asked my uncle

"No, we must practice now." He answered

Man, I hate waking up early in the morning but hey, maybe things will go out smoothly.

"So what are we going to do?" I asked

"Since you already know the basics of martial arts, and you know how to fight already, I'm going to teach you how to use weapons." He said as he opened up a room full of weapons

"Pick your desired weapon, I will teach you how to use it through battle." 

"Hell yeah!" I shouted

There was all sorts of weapons, ranging from meelee to long range, there was knives, swords, clubs, hammers, axe, arrows, daggers, pistols, everything.

"Oh man, I can't pick anything, this is awesome! But let's see, what I really want most is.... aha! A sword!" I said as I picked up a sword from the middle

"Alright, is that what you really want? I will teach you everything I know, from every class of swords, Katana's, Great Swords, everything. Are you ready?" My uncle said as he gave me took the sword from me replacing it with a wooden sword

"Yes! This is what I want! I was born ready! Let's do this!" I said

And so my intense training started, I never thought my Uncle was really this good at fighting

"Heh, not bad for an old timer" I said

"Hahaha, you're not as bad as I thought you'd be, kid." he said with a grin

"Stop calling me a kid! I'm not a kid anymore!"

I rushed into him with my sword and tried to attack him but he was too fast, he quickly got behind me and punched my sides, I fell down

"*breathes heavily* Ack! D-damn it...."

"Are you okay? Haha that wasn't even powerful, comeon stand up"

Goddamn it old man, how can you expect me to stand up after that punch? I can't even move

"Haha, I guess that's it for today, let's take a break, you  did well." He said

"Hey Uncle.." I said as I sat down

"I heard you talking about something last night, about my parents, what happened to them?" I asked

"I don't really know what happened to them.. I'm sorry."

"Can you atleast tell me something about them? Like what do they look like?" I asked

"Well, your father was a great man, he was the strongest in the city, you remind me of him, you almost look exactly alike, he loved your mother more than anything else in the world, and you, you was his favorite, he loved you so much he would sacrifice his life just to protect you. Your mom, well, your mom was the kindest, most thoughtful, and the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my whole life. She loved you and your father, I remember you crying on her when I tease you when you were a little." He said, then a tear fell down his eyes

"Hey, are you crying?" I asked

"What? No! I just got something in my eye, don't be ridiculous." He said as he wipe his eyes

"Great! Because someone old as you shouldn't cry! Also, I will be strong like my dad! I will make him proud!" I said proudly
