Beyond the Flames

by Ember Rock

As long as you wear this ring you will be less affected by the flames inside you. But if you do not defeat him in time, then disaster will befall you. I wish you luck, Sonic the Hedgehog. [Sonic and the Secret Rings, rated for blood. T JIC.]

(A/N: I found out the storyline as far as we know for Sonic and the Secret Rings, and decided it was worthy of a fanfic. Since SA-TE chap 3 will take a while (need to research rainforests) I decided to write this to tide you over. All characters (c) SEGA)

'Little rat. As if I don't have enough problems.'

Sonic's resolve, strong as always, prevented him from moving. Red and white shoes were rooted to the spot. His mouth was turned downwards in a snarl.

'It doesn't really matter, though. I suppose I'll take care of things for you.'

The hedgehog was growling now. Animal instinct was consuming him, muscles tingling and ready to run. The figure facing him flashed white teeth, nocking an arrow in his bow and briefly aiming it at the determined target. Alit, it shrouded the whole cavern in light, stunning the hedgehog for a second. A second was all that was needed for the flaming arrow to pierce his heart.
