Sonic, Shadow and Silver were returning home after their fight with Eggman
Sonic, Shadow and Silver were returning home after their fight with Eggman. They were within 2 miles of the house. Shadow stopped, "Anybody want to race the rest of the way?" Silver grinned, "Alright, I'm game. Are you Sonic?" Sonic stopped and shook his head, "No, you guys can, but I'm not." Shadow nearly fell over, "What?" Sonic looked back to Shadow and Silver, "For some odd reason, my legs are aching really badly. And it hurts to run." Silver walked up to Sonic, "Any idea what you might of done?" Sonic shook his head, "No clue, I just don't want to be in more pain, ok? Go ahead and race if you want to." Shadow rolled his eyes, "Here take this emerald, that way you can chaos control home if you want to." Sonic grinned, "Thanks Shadow. Tell the others when you get there, ok?" Shadow and Silver nodded and took off. Sonic watched them go in agony, he wanted so much to race with them, but he couldn't.
Shadow and Silver arrived home in nearly 5 minutes. Shadow had decided to run as slow as Silver. Shadow had won yet again. Silver rolled his eyes and said, "You cheat!" Shadow shook his head, "Do not!" Everyone else heard the argument. Rouge, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Blaze and Jenna emerged from the house. Knuckles shook his head, "Hey where's Sonic?" Shadow and Silver walked over and explained. Tails shook his head, "And you let him walk home?" Shadow shrugged, "Hey he wanted to!" Silver nodded, "He did." Amy sighed, "But what if something happens to him?" Shadow looked back on the path they had come, "I say we give him 5 minutes. If he's not here by then, we go look for him." Everybody agreed and waited.
Sonic was walking, but slowly. There was just too much pain! But he forced himself on. Sonic slowly made his way down the path. In a while, the house came into view. And Sonic could see figures out front. He smiled, worried about me huh? But his smile faded as he felt another huge pain in his legs. Sonic shook his head, I just have to make it to the house. Shadow saw Sonic coming slowly. He sighed, "There he is." Everybody looked up and saw Sonic coming closer. Amy sighed in relief, "At least he safe." Silver nodded, "Yeah." Although their smiles faded as they watched Sonic collapse. Silver and Shadow ran out to him. Shadow kneeled down instantly and asked Sonic, "You alright?" Sonic was breathing heavily and was a little pale. He tried to get up but he couldn't. He quietly said, "I…..can't…..g-go anymore……." Shadow nodded and lifted Sonic up and put one of Sonic's arms over his shoulder. Silver did the same. They got him back into the house and on a couch as quick as they could.
They were worried when they saw Sonic had become even paler. His eyes were not their normal green, now they were pale green. Shadow lowered his head to look at Sonic he asked, "Hey you still with us?" Sonic slowly met Shadow's gaze and blinked slowly. His eyes were half open. Blaze was shocked at Sonic's state, "Guys I think we should call a doctor, I've never seen him this bad before. Shadow nodded, "Agreed, something's not right." Silver pulled out his cell phone and called the doctor. He closed his phone and said, "The doc will be here in 20 minutes." Blaze nodded, "20 minutes it is."
The doorbell rang, startling everybody, except Sonic who looked worse than ever. His eyes were now slightly glazed and he had become paler. Shadow ran to the door, relieved to see the doctor, "Oh thank god! He's gotten worse." The doctor saw the worry in Shadow's eyes and nodded, "I'll do everything in my power to help him." That was good enough for Shadow. The doc made his way to the living room where everyone was gathered. He nodded to them and they nodded back. He saw Sonic and thought to himself, not even I have seen him this bad. He sat on the couch and lifted Sonic's head, Sonic slowly looked up at the doc and blinked, not really knowing who he was at the moment. The doctor let Sonic's head bow again and sighed. Silver asked worried, "Can you help him Dr. Jakes?" The doctor turned to face Silver and the others, "I may, but not even I know what is wrong. I need him to answer some questions, but It doesn't look like he'll answer." Blaze shook her head, "Then he can tap." She lifted Sonic's head and softly told him, "Sonic we need you to answer some questions, so I need you to tap can you do that?"' Sonic nodded slowly. Blaze nodded, "Good now here's what you do, one tap for no, two taps for yes and three taps for I don't know, can you do that?" Sonic tapped twice. Blaze smiled. Dr. Jakes nodded, "Are you pained all over?" Sonic tapped twice. He nodded, "Can you see clearly?" Only one tap. He nodded, "Can you move your arms and legs?" Sonic tapped three times. Dr. Jakes tried a different approach, "Can you try for me?" Sonic tapped twice. He moved his fingers then his arms. And then He tried his legs, they wouldn't move. Sonic tried with all the power he had left, but his legs wouldn't move. Dr Jakes looked at Sonic, "You can't move them, can you?" Sonic tapped once. Amy bit her lip, what could that mean? Sonic's eyes were nearly shut now, he was having trouble staying awake. The doctor saw this and took notes. Darkness was closing in around Sonic's view. Then out of nowhere, a voice spoke to him, Stay awake my son, you must finish the questions. Sonic slightly shook his head which helped a little bit. The doctor finished writing and started packing up, "Well all I can tell you right now is that Sonic is very ill and needs rest. Do not allow him to go anywhere. Wake him up 3 times a day to get him to eat. It may be awhile before I get the results for his illness. So just take care of him until then." Blaze nodded and watched the doctor leave.
Sonic sat there, still not knowing who he had just seen. He felt weaker and weaker by the minute. However above the pain, Sonic felt sleep over coming him. Blaze sat down nearby, "That's it Sonic, go to sleep." Sonic eyes closed farther. Before he fell asleep, he heard Shadow say, "Well I guess this means that we have to hope he doesn't get worse…" then everything went black…
