AN: Allergy and the two first chapters of Goldilocks are quite old, together with some other stories that could be found on my DA account.
After some time I had finally found my willingness to continue the stories (as I only write when I have the inspiration).
Oh, and the Curse's next chapter needs a little more rewriting.
Allergy - part 1
A fat round man was working at his desk which was covered with books, test tubs and machine parts. He had a brilliant idea, idea that could help him in defeating his enemy... And because of it he kept himself awake for now about three days, his body was tired, but the need of making his evil plan come true was more convincing than the soft pillow back in his room. So many failures as far... So many plans and neither of them worked, well they did... to the moment when the...
- Pesky little rodent! – he awoke shouting and once again catching himself fallen asleep.
...did not interrupt in the last second... Yes, his arch enemy, Sonic the Hedgehog, the hero of Mobius and the Fastest Thing Alive, while he was the one and only and with the IQ of 300, Doctor Ivo Robotnik! A great, evil scientist! The one who will conquer the world! And will raise his own empire named after him... The Eggman's Empire! Ah yes... they call him as Eggman, because of the shape of his body and he somehow started to use this 'nickname', when it happened? He couldn't tell...
He returned to his work once again. Some colorful wires were placed, a bunch of mysterious substances into the half metallic housing. Then he put the last microchip in his new invention and with that an evil grin appeared on the mad doctor's face, joined only with a horrible laugh. It was ready, his invention was really ready! Now it only needed transport and the rest will work by itself.
- The blue rodent won't know what hit him!
He got up and gave orders to his robots and the machines did their work well without any interruptions, nobody noticed them. Seeing that the first part of the plan was made, the human went straight to his bedroom and fell smiling, just being happy on his bed which made the springs bend under him, his weight. He had to have his rest before the grand day... And this time Eggman fell calmly asleep and had a wonderful dream of him winning against the pesky hedgehog once and for all.
The sun shone through the window touching with it's warm a blue pelt of fur. The one to who it belonged to started to stir from his sleep. He yawned showing his small hedgehog teeth to the world, and then stretched like a cat. Soon blue eyelids followed the rest of the awaking body and opened which made two emerald pools blink twice, till they started to register their surroundings. He sat on the bed and looked around noticing that he wasn't in his bedroom... He almost had a panic attack and would run out, even through the window, till he saw that the walls had creamy colors not pink. Now he remembered, he was at Cream's and her mother's house. He had to stay for a night with Tails, because of the bad, rainy weather. Trying to fly with their plane through the storm clouds wouldn't end well… and about his fox friend... The blue hedgehog was expecting to find his adopted brother on the other side of this guest room in the second bed, but it seemed that he was alone.
Suddenly he noticed two pairs of eyes looking at him from the unclosed doors. Seeing them, he started to act that he's going back sleep. He lay on his back, this way hiding his sharp quills and giving access to his unprotected belly and of course closed his eyes. And waited...
With his ears he heard the door being opened and next soft steps getting closer to his bed, then there was a sound of jump and he ended being tackled by a little rabbit girl Cream and her chao friend Cheese.
- Wake up Mr. Sonic!
The three of them started to laugh and the main reason of it was that the hedgehog was forced to it by the little girl's tickles, but he didn't mind.
- Okay... Okay! I'm awake! – Sonic managed to say between his laughs.
Cream finally stopped and sat next to him, giving time for the hedgehog to catch his breath.
- S...So... Where's Tails? – he asked.
- He's making breakfast with mom.
- Oh and what's for breakfast?
- Pancakes!
- That's great! I'm so hungry that I could eat hundreds of pancakes!
The rabbit giggled hearing that.
- I'll tell them, Mr. Sonic - she turned to her chao friend. - Come Cheese! We need to gather flowers to decorate the table!
She run out and Sonic was alone in the room again. Not having any more purpose to stay in it, he went to the kitchen and found Tails and Ms Vanilla, Cream's mother covered with pancake mix... well, together with the room.
- Whoa? What happened here?
The two other turned and burst into laughter. From their attempts of telling him, he understood that the mixer had broken and when Tails repaired it, it started to work in a different way and covered all in its range. Meantime Cream returned with a bouquet of flowers and placed in a vase in the dining room. She wanted to tell her mother about the flowers, so she run into the kitchen only to slip and fell. Now not only her mother and Tails were covered in the sticky substance but as well Cream. Vanilla helped her daughter up and both females went to get themselves clean, leaving the boys in the kitchen.
- It seems that you'll have to eat at the city or you end just like us.
- No problem lil bro. I don't mind eating a chilidog for breakfast... – he grinned and with a sonic boom he left looking for a chilidog stance.
The fox knew how much his best friend loved chilidogs so he wasn't surprised by the choice. So, not wasting any more time he went to the bathroom, the feeling of the mix drying out on his fur was staring to bother him. While passing by the dining room he noticed a purple flower in the bouquet. It was unusual in a way, but being a boy and mostly interested in mechanics and planes was a good purpose to ignore...
Meantime the Speedster run to Station Square and made his way to the park. What's better than eating a chilidog outside, on fresh air? That's right... There's nothing better!
He bought his chilidogs and the first one had to face its doom nearly before he got an idea to sit somewhere and enjoy their taste. He wanted to find a bench, and that was exactly the moment when he noticed the black hedgehog with red stripes. A smirk plastered over his face knowing who it was, no wonder not many Mobians have that color of fur.
The other hedgehog was Shadow the Ultimate Lifeform made by human kind, and of course Sonic's rival. They shared many in common like sonic speed, chaos abilities and so on, but as well they were as different as day and night. Oh, and Shadow almost destroyed the planet, killed living beings, that is humans, but as well he saved with Sonic the world and even stopped an alien invasion, the Black Arms. Now the ebony hedgehog was distracted by his paperwork that he probably took with himself out of his job at G.U.N, the reasons why he was doing it here could be like:
a) he couldn't longer stand his co-worker Rouge the Bat;
b) was pissed because of those papers that he almost killed his employer, the commander of G.U.N;
c) he has to do it somewhere after chaos blasting his office;
d) wanted to unite with Mother Nature.
Okay... Sonic, be realistic and don't choose "d". It's not a test of one good answer.
Sonic went behind his rival and looked over the black shoulder, while eating his chilidog. Shadow didn't say a word at first when Sonic's shadow appeared above him taking the light; he hoped that the blue idiot would find his documents boring and will go, but as usual... The stubborn one had to stick to him... Shadow continued to ignore him, but that plan was interrupted when the chili from Sonic's food dripped on the Ultimate Lifeform's nose, that was what was needed to trigger Shadow's furry.
A punch was launched in the direction of Sonic's face, but it didn't make contact. Sonic ducked from it and appeared in front of Shadow.
- Hey Shads! What are ya doing?
- That's none of your concern. And don't call me Shads… and keep your disgusting food away from my documents! – he snarled on the blue one in a low voice, keeping his quills raised.
- Jeez, Shads. You should chill out sometimes. You definitely work too hard.
Then Sonic saw the chili on Shadow's nose…
You never actually know, neither could predict what the blue blur would do next… and like in this case, Shadow wasn't prepared when one of his rival's fingers wiped off the chili from his nose… But that's not all… The blue hedgehog then had a sparkle in his emerald eyes and took a tissue from his quills. He rubbed Shadow's nose leaving it now fully clean. If Shadow's eyes weren't in the first place wide now they were even more if possible.
Thoughts started to pass by the ebony's mind like 'What the hell?' and maybe 'Why did I let him do that?' he also got a light blush on his face from the treatment, but as fast as it appeared with the strange emotion he covered it with anger.
- Why did you do that?! – he almost shouted.
- Well, you had chili on your nose… - Sonic answered but was stopped from adding anything more when some silent curses reached his ears.
- Hedgehog…
- What? Were you expecting me to lick it from your nose? I didn't know that our relationship went to that point. – Sonic teased.
He just couldn't resist. He loved annoying his ebony rival, especially when it led to a little race in the morning. Yes… with avoiding some chaos spears and fighting for dear life, but that was the only way to get the other hedgehog take notice of him… And no, not in the way you think of it! Sonic liked spending his time with his friends and he considered Shadow as one of them, but his rival was most of the times busy with G.U.N or keeping distance form everybody. That meant, Sonic has rarely ever seen him, they simply were going pass themselves, Sonic saving the world from Eggman and Shadow doing Shadow's stuff. So when Sonic spots him, he takes as much as he can, not wasting his chance…
Returning to the present…
The blue one could feel chaos energy rising… he looked at the other and now he knew why. The energy was almost boiling from the Ultimate Lifeform. Did he overdo it…? Thankfully before Shadow could chaos blast or form a chaos spear to tell what he thinks about the concept there was an explosion nearby and the too much familiar irritating "ho ho ho" sound.
The two hedgehogs looked at the direction from where it was coming from, and then back at themselves. With a nod they raced arm by arm to the source.
The city was being attacked by one of Eggman's robots. It was huge, even bigger than the highest skyscrapers and it was swinging his metallic arms destroying buildings and every plane or tank that G.U.N sent after it. However, Shadow noticed that something was strange about it. The robot looked like it was made in hurry and had many weak spots, that anybody could use them against it. Even G.U.N, if the one in charge thought rationally. But of course that day, the Commander had to go on vacation and had chosen a newbie soldier as his deputy, probably not expecting an attack on the city (or he knew that two hedgehogs do all the work if needed).
The two blurs stopped on the roof of the nearest building to the robot.
- Seems that Eggy is getting old, or he run out of ideas – Sonic smirked. – So Shads, wanna teamwork?
- If you insist. – said with boredom in his voice. The other only rolled his eyes.
Then they speeded down on the glass wall, not worrying about the gravity, neither that the building started to collapse after another swing of the machine. They parted avoiding debris, simply jumping or spin dashing through it. When their feet met with the ground Sonic went running on the left side of the robot while Shadow on right. They didn't have to communicate verbally about it; they knew what the other will do.
'It's just too easy.'
The blue hedgehog thought while getting closer to the machines single foot. It seemed that, because of the robot's size it had seriously weak defense. The swings were so slow that it couldn't even react to the two small fur balls that were moving below its foot.
Sonic found a weak spot on the bots head, the challenge in his opinion. With a new target, he started to run on the robots leg and he almost reached to his destination, if not a metallic blue machine of his size didn't collide with him, throwing him downwards.
Only one robot was able to compare with the speedster… Metal Sonic.
The blue blur rolled into a spiky ball and protected himself from the fall. Then he uncurled and saw Metal charging at him.
- Hey Shads! I'm leaving the big guy for ya!
With a blur he left the battle field with Metal Sonic floating nearby. And in the last sonic second of being there he only heard Shadow's pissed callback of not calling him as Shads.
Race. They were racing like in most of their battles. What a shame that only one of them could actually enjoy it, the other being a robot was emotionless; if his master was a caring owner and not a 'conquer of the world' Metal Sonic would have the program in his system, like as example the previous copy had. But now it was a deadly machine with the purpose of killing whenever his master orders him to do. And Sonic shouldn't forget about it…
The concrete ground under Sonic's feet changed into grass... they got to the park. The difference in the structure made him lost his attention over the metal counterpart and that's when the robot decided to strike. Metal Sonic collided the second time that day with Sonic and both were thrown into a field of purple flowers.
Sonic hit the ground really hard and the impact made the flowers all around him shake… The small, invisible pollen flew into the air and also into Sonic's nose, making him sneeze cutely. If the princess of Soleanna or Amy were somewhere nearby they would treat him like a teddy bear by now, it was so adorable…
But for the hedgehog it was just the beginning… His throat started to hurt badly.
'Did he hit me in the neck?'
Anyway he ignored it, Metal Sonic rose up and his metal claws were dangerously shorting the distance between the two blues. No other opinion left... Time for a serious fight.
The soldier in charge breath with relieve...
When the two hedgehogs appeared on the fight scene, the G.U.N soldiers were finally able to organize properly. They evacuated the remaining residents and also secured the place from other parts of the city. Now the two furs could concentrate on the task in hand not worrying about the safety of the people around, while the deputy won't have to face later the Commander in his full furry...
The ebony hedgehog saw Sonic running to the robot's head and second later heard Metal Sonic's engine. It meant only one thing that the azure one would leave him with the huge robot, in order to face the metal copy. And as he predicted he heard the cocky voice.
- Stop calling me Shads! – but the one, on who he yelled wasn't any longer there.
There was only the robot, him and the G.U.N's units.
'Stupid Faker.'
Shadow no longer was in the mood of toying with the robot, like he would do only few minutes ago. Sonic wasn't there so why wasting time, especially on this pathetic piece of junk.
He concentrated the energy in his hand and with the command 'Chaos Spear' he thrown it straight into the emblem of Eggman's face. Sparkles flew from the strike and the robot stopped in his movements.
- Pathetic.
His paperwork was more challenging than this. But because of it, Shadow felt like it was a distraction for a bigger purpose. The only question was: what for?
- Agent Shadow! What a relief!
Shadow stopped in his tracks. It was the human who commanded the operation, Eric Goodbell. Newbie in the G.U.N's squad and a really nice friendly young person, not experienced in battle. And probably one of those few in G.U.N who didn't see the hedgehog as a project or a killing machine, even now Eric called him by his name; in other words they had a good, friendly relation. And now Goodbell was shining with joy, because of seeing the hedgehog. Well... No wonder, he had some problems with controlling the units before Shadow's appearance.
The streaked hedgehog thought that Eric wasn't that bad for his first time commanding, which was even more surprising that the Commander entrusted him the task, when he could give it to his other higher ranged soldiers.
- Are you going after Sonic the Hedgehog and the other robot?
- Normally I'd leave it to the Faker... but knowing him, he didn't see that those robots were only distractions.
- They were? But for what?
- That's what I want to find out.
He run off and the cleaning up were left in Eric's hands.
It shouldn't give the soldier any problems, right? Oh, so wrong. The machine was like waiting for the hedgehog to leave, fearing of even thinking about falling down. But now… why not? And the robot hit the ground, fell on the road, where the Commander's vehicle was standing by.
'Cross it. I'll be facing and having a hard time telling the Commander what happened with his favorite battle-commanding vehicle anyway... Me and my luck!' the young soldier whined.
It wasn't hard to find Sonic and Metal. They were in the park that he visited only few hours ago.
'If they have done something to my documents I'll promise, I'll reap both of their heads off...'
He was stopped in the middle of his thought... What he saw was different from what was expected. Where should be Sonic with his thumb up and smiling from his victory, instead was a blue miserable hedgehog hiding behind a tree from his attacker and trying to gasp for breath.
The blue blur was more pale than blue. Sonic felt like his throat was burning and tightening, not letting any oxygen get into his lungs. And with lack of oxygen he couldn't move his body anymore. He previously fought with Metal Sonic, but with each run or attacking move he was more unable to breath; he had to take a rest, so he run into the woods and hide. And Metal was still somewhere near looking for him, but how to fight in his state? And what caused it anyway?
Then he saw Shadow... his last hope... he almost begged with his eyes for help... his pride fell to the deep bottoms, but he didn't care at the moment, not when his vision was getting blurrier and blurrier.
The black look alike considered it in seconds and as fast and silently as he could, he got to the pained hedgehog. It was one of those rarest moments when he saw the Hero in such state. Eyes unfocused, teary and those coughed, ragged breaths or rather lack of any. He took Sonic's hands of his neck wanting to find a gash or something, but there was nothing, no cuts, no injuries were in sigh.
- Hedgehog... What is it?
- I... Can't... B... Breathe...
Sonic managed to cough. Well, that was obvious, but it didn't tell the ebony one what happened.
Shadow actually didn't know what to do. If Sonic was bleeding he would stem the wound, the same with any other injury he would be able to threat, but this... was something new. Maybe it was a poison that was injected into the blur's body? If so he has to take him to the hospital. On the other hand, it was a miracle that Metal didn't find them already, after all Sonic was getting more and more loudly.
- Sha... – Sonic whispered and then everything went black for him.
Sonic went limp in his hold and it alarmed the Ultimate Lifeform. The Fastest Thing Alive stopped breathing... Panic run through Shadow's mind, thankfully he didn't get caught in its hold, not like back then at ARK...
He immediately Chaos Controlled to the nearest hospital with Sonic in his arms and shouted for doctors' help. In a blink of an eye the medical crew jumped into action.
Now Sonic's life was in their hands...
The blue armored robot was searching after the hedgehog and it happened to be quite hard. Most of the times he used Sonic's life signal to register the hedgehog's presence, but now if the hedgehog was somewhere here in the forest he was so weak, that he couldn't find him on his radar.
He was getting impatient with every minute, but that's when he found a new signal, belonging to the Ultimate Lifeform. He could risk fighting the black hedgehog or continue on the search, but who knows, maybe if he follows Shadow, he will find his main target and knowing that Sonic was in a bad condition, he'll be able to strike and even the other hedgehog won't be able to do anything.
And yes he found his target.
Sonic was lying against the tree, while the other was searching for signs of injuries, but even Metal knew that there were none. The start of their battle was quite well matched, but when the hedgehog felt like unable to fight back, he run away.
'Coward'
So Metal didn't have a chance to immerse his claws in the soft flesh body. By now, the hero looked so pathetic, that Metal wasn't sure if it was worth to kill such a miserable creature... well not with his own claws. His right hand silently changed into his gun laser form and began charging the beam in it. Now only lock Sonic's head as the target and...
- Metal Sonic! Leave them be. We have other things to do.
And of course somebody had to interrupt...
He heard Eggman's voice from the built-in communicator. He looked at his pray, then back at his gun... he was so close, but orders are orders... He let them chaos control from the forest.
- Get back to the base. The hedgehog would die anyway and I need you here.
- Affirmative.
The doctors connected the blue one to the life supporting machine and gave him some medicines, but they still couldn't find out what caused this state. They took blood samples and left him in one of the hospital's rooms for a single patient, so nobody, no other patient would bother him.
Well, no one would even try... when the striped hedgehog in a very bad mood was in the room with Sonic.
His glare could almost freeze on the spot... and a nurse saw it for herself...
Some children wanted to know if the Hero of Mobius was in the same hospital as they were, so their nurse went to check it out. And when she opened the door and made eye contact with the ebony hedgehog she just fainted... Well after that, people stopped asking.
It also gave Shadow some peace alone while waiting for Sonic's friends. He called Tails, so the young engineer should be soon. And he hoped he will appear in few minutes...
He was wondering why he actually stayed by the hedgehog's side, when he could leave him in the human's care... Shadow felt like out of place…
'Do I care? Or I'm doing it, because Maria would want me to do?'
The silence was like never before disturbing him. Most of the times the hero would be talking in Shadow's presence, annoying his rival with no end, but now... he was so deadly silent, Shadow almost missed the voice of the emerald eyed hedgehog. And because of it the ebony rival was left with his own thoughts.
Memories...
Unwanted memories... The blue one lying like this, unable to even open his eyes, if he somehow was conscious... and it reminded him of Maria. His friend, his sister, even if they didn't share the Robotnik family's blood...
Fifty years ago, while living at space colony ARK, the conditions there were the best that the greatest scientist in the world and grandfather of the sick girl could get for her. Probably the only place where she could live a normal life, not facing everyday her illness. But was it normal? Of course not. Plain walls, no friends of her age... and Maria somehow was finding beauty in this environment despite being locked from the planet below, from her dream.
Shadow had nearly never seen her truly weak, yes there were those days that she didn't feel well, but she didn't let them spoil their happy days together.
Well, except that one day, before the ARK accident...
It was the first time when Shadow saw the men in black suits, but back then he didn't know that they were G.U.N. They didn't come with the purpose of killing anybody. Professor Gerald told him and Maria that they came to make a checkup, because it was their duty, so nobody really minded the wandering men in the main corridors. Big mistake, as much as they were acting friendly, that didn't mean they weren't dangerous at that time. Well... actually not them, but the micro beings that they transported unintentionally on ARK.
The two children wanted to go to their special spot. To do that, they had to leave their room, the only place where it was clean from the viruses and bacteria... They entered the corridor and raced to the window, where you could see the beautiful planet, but before they got there Maria started to slow down. And then Shadow saw his lovely Maria faint and later being taken to the hospital wing. For the next few days he was sitting by her side, not leaving the room at all, which was exhaustive for him, he didn't have his rings, his limiters yet. They still weren't created.
'She laid in the hospital bed just right Sonic now...'
Suddenly the door was brutally opened. The silence and Shadow's daydream ended with it.
- Do not fear, Sonikku! Amy is here! – the pink hedgehog shrieked.
For Shadow her voice was like claws making their way down on the black board, but Sonic didn't even wince like he would do most of the times hearing the pink hedgehog in the red dress.
Her voice then died, when she saw her 'boyfriend' on the hospital bed, being horribly ill. After the initial shock, she run to the bed and to the chair on which Shadow was sitting and just knocked him of it, taking his place by her lover's side.
If Rouge was there, she would probably be the only person laughing after seeing the hedgehog's face; all other people would go pale. His calm, motionless expression changed in instant into a deadly frown.
'I could broke her backbone... we already at the hospital, so she will receive help... so G.U.N won't be chasing after me'
Thankfully he didn't go with his plan, as other Sonic's friends Tails, Cream and her mother entered the room. It seemed that they had already talked with one of the doctors; their worried faces told him everything.
The rabbit girl had a bouquet of flowers with her and she placed it in the vase on the cupboard next to the bed. Then she faced her mom with teary eyes.
- Mom? Will mister Sonic feel better soon?
- Yes, darling… but we have to wait.
The girl saddened even more, but not only were her eyes now getting tears. Tails was also on the edge of crying, but he tried to fight back them, not wanting to frighten the younger girl.
He has never seen his brother like this… The blue hero was breathing heavily even with the help of the engine pumping the air into his body. So many battles he had survived, getting out with only few scratches... now something caused him to lay in bed, weak, unconscious, without strength...
… And his friends didn't know how to help him.
Then there was a knock at the door and one of the doctors entered. He was viewing his papers not really interested in the waiting furrys in the room. But Amy couldn't wait any longer.
- So? Are you going to tell us why Sonic is sick?
- Oh, right, I'm sorry for making you wait. – at last he noticed them. – Let's see. It seems that he's having something like an allergy reaction, but we can't really find out what it is. Maybe you tell me if he had this kind of problems in the past or maybe he ate or had contact with something new?
All the eyes went to the closest friend of Sonic's.
- Well, he never had any problems with his health, as far as I know and he probably had a chilidog this morning, but he always eats them. – Tails answered.
- I see... It's possible that your friend started reacting negatively on this food...
- Oh, my poor Sonikku no more chilidogs for you! How are you going to live without them?
Amy placed her hand on Sonic's head and begun petting him. While doing that she accidently moved the oxygen mask giving access to the unfiltered air, but no one noticed…
It can't be real. Maybe Sonic did overdo with the portions of chilidogs, but it couldn't be the reason of his breathing problems. After all Eggman sent his robots for a purpose of distracting them, distracting from something that was causing now the blue one's state. Shadow went to the window and looked through it. Something there changed... But what was it? What was in the park that made Sonic get sick?
Suddenly without any warning Sonic started to cough madly. The doctor run to his side and injected some medicine, but it won't work that fast. Then he spotted that the mask wasn't properly on the hero's muzzle.
- Who the hell moved it?! – he shouted angrily, ignoring the fact of children in the room.
The hedgehog was choking again. Earlier, the doctors managed to stabilize him with some of the rarest medicine in their hospital, but they now run off it. The next supplies weren't going to be delivered so soon.
'How am I going to save him? And if the hero dies on my shift, how I will be able to face my family, my kids at home…' the doctor wondered in panic, sweating madly…
- I need support! Go call the other doctors!
Miss Vanilla and Tails run out from the room, after hearing the stressed order, looking for the doctors. Amy by the time was trying to calm down Cream's cries, and her own embarrassment... She knew that it was her fault, that Sonic was feeling worse...
And with Shadow... his mind was calculating the situation...
When he and Sonic were alone in the room, the blue blur's breaths were calmer, but with the moment of the visitors it got rougher… Worse when the mask fell off…
Something new was placed in the room… Then crimson eyes made contact with the bouquet of purple flowers. They had this strange shape and all of them looked like identical copies, no differences in their features…
- It can't be... but...
- What? – Amy asked.
- Where did you get those flowers?
- Well, I and Cream gathered them while getting here. They grow everywhere as I saw.
Amy's eyes went wide when she saw what the black hedgehog done with their flowers, only second after telling him. He threw them out of the window!
- Hey! What do you think you're doing?! - she shouted.
- Saving... – he needed to calm her, before she would take out her hammer and make bigger mess - ...your boyfriend.
- Oh... – the 'compliment' made the score and she no longer had anything against it.
The doctor heard what the hedgehog found out, but even so it could be too late to save the weakening hedgehog. And it confirmed his suspects after the new discovery…
- Damn it! They everywhere! They grow everywhere outside!
This new kind of flower was covering the once green grass with its purple blossoming buds. Actually… everything in sight…
Their vines even got on some building and climbed them, growing into the walls. The plants were spreading rapidly and with them the pollen, on which Sonic was reacting…
Shadow looked over his shoulder at Sonic and then shut the window; it won't help in anyway, but maybe will get him some time.
'Just like Maria… He's now just like Maria… he needs my help and there's only one place where he would be able to breathe again… survive this…'
With that in mind he moved to the bed and shook the doctor. The man woke from his rock like state in which he has fallen from depression.
- What?
- I need that machine in a portable version.
- What for?
- Don't waste my time human! And get it!
Shadow's deadly growl was a good purpose for the doctor to get to work. He really fast changed the equipment, so now Sonic wasn't attached to any troublesome wires. When that was ready, Shadow lifted Sonic from the bed, placing him in his arms like if he was holding a bride.
- What are you doing with my Sonikku?! – Amy wept.
- He won't make it here.
- But where are you taking him?! We should wait for the specialist!
- Amy… trust me…
Shadow chaos controlled with Sonic, leaving the two crying females and the dumbfounded doctor alone in the room. At least, that's what the other doctors brought by Tails and Miss Vanilla found out after getting at the place.
'Where did he take him?' the unanswered question was running between them…
