Chapter 2: Holdings
There came about a change in the landscape for the young hedgehog, he had made a promise to his master yet he knew nothing of the world he now stood in. He had never been out into the world before, Aika had always told him that he was not ready for it. This did not seam the case to Sonic, the fresh air filling his lungs caused him to groan with delight, why did his master wish to hide such a feeling from him? Alas he was never to know...
There was another, running along the country side at a supersonic speed...he too was named Sonic but this was the real Sonic, yet the initial peace that his actions seamed to follow suddenly became violent as missiles began to rain down from the sky, he dodged left and right from the deadly assault. High above the devastated land hovered a huge airship, inside was Sonic's archenemy Dr. Eggman and he was furious that once again Sonic could dodge his attacks so easily, "Arrrg! Get HIM!" He yelled to a group of S.W.A.T bots that responded with a firm nod. From panels opening in the side of this great battleship burst forth these elite robots, (These were not designed as the others, more humanoid in shape they were the most agile and strong of his army) and they sped towards the hedgehog at an alarming rate but this didn't shift the smile from Sonic's face. The plan was in motion, and Sonic knew it.
Although the other Sonic was too blessed with speed, his choice was to walk and survey that which was new to him. Inexplicably Sonic found himself talking out loud although no one was there to listen, "I wonder why Master never told me about the outside world..." He then smiled as memories of his master filled him. He remembered how kind she was too him, the way she looked at him with here golden eyes and the way that made him feel, suddenly the image of his masters sadness filled him and his attitude changed. Resolve had awoken him to his task once more, little did Sonic know that beyond the hill was the battle raging across the empty expanse.
The sun had risen before Aika had rose once again from her slumber, "Sonic!" She called out into the hollow halls. Emptiness was her response, "By the chaos, he left..." she chocked, suddenly the Sonic shaped void in her life was soul crushing...What did she want more? Redemption for a dead civilization or to live her life like she had been for many years? Aika growled once again, as her body convulsed forwards and then threw her head back letting out a blood curdling scream. She wasn't being cared for because she willed it, the 'Chaos' had punished her with a horrible fate...
Aika was immortal and was inflicted with Chaos poisoning...After she calmed down she remembered the first time she explained to Sonic about her condition.
'"Master? Why are you shaking like that?" Sonic asked innocently placing his hand gently on Aika's wrist, "Chaos Poisoning...something happened long ago and I got sick, every now and again unearthly energy surges and rips through my body." Came the empty voice she used when speaking of ages gone past, "Does it hurt?" He asked, his emerald eyes scanning her frame with intense worry, "Sometimes..." There was nothing but lies from that statement, every cell in her body was screaming for death...'
Her eyes opened again and the memories of Sonic, and then his fate crashed into her being...With a growl Aika stood. Her people would probably be all dead now and she was almost willing to sacrifice the one thing that she still had to chase a dead dream...She had to find her Sonikk at all cost...
