Aqua the Hedgehog
Chapter 02: Crystal Orbs?
...
Aqua's POV
Amy and Cream were nice enough to show me around Chris's mansion introducing me to Mr. Tanaka, Chris's bodyguard, and Ella, the maid who cleaned and cooked. And I met Chris's grandpa; he was...interesting to say the least. I ended up meeting this Sonic. I could tell he was a cocky type of hedgehog, but very caring when it came to his friends. When I informed him of my memory problem he helped me get to know things I didn't even know...which was mostly everything.
I was wandering around town alone today. I wanted to see the town and maybe I could see something that would trigger my memories, but no such luck so far. I was walking through the park when it happened. Some guy that sat in a floating metal thing sent these robot-looking things. I heard him call them 'Eggbots'? The eggbots were attack the people. The children were scared trying to find their parents... parents? It felt so nauseating. I snapped out of it when I heard a child cry out for its mommy. I saw the child on the ground with those eggbots ready to attack.
I felt something...familiar heavy in my right hand so when I looked it was an ice spear I think it was called. Some reason my body moved on its own so my hand that was holding the ice spear raised, then I threw it at the eggbots piercing right through the chest. It somehow disappeared and it was back in my hand. I rushed over to the child. "Are you alright?"
She sniffled nodding, "Y-yeah... I can't find my mommy." She continued crying.
"Don't worry, I'll help you search for your 'mommy'... I'll protect you from those metal things."
The child stopped crying looking at me with big sparkly eyes. "R-really?"
I felt a little...what was that word? 'Creeped out' "R-really... my name is Aqua. What's your name? And tell me what your mother looks like."
The girl, whose name was Rosa Stone, told me what her mother looked like; waist length brown hair and mature brown eyes. She was wearing a tank top with jeans. I ended up destroying lots of eggbots, but they just kept coming! Rosa was behind a tree that was in the town growing when I heard her scream. I snapped my neck in her direction to see an eggbot holding her in the air from the back of her shirt. She was kicking and screaming.
"Rosa!"
I growled under my breath. I rushed and jumped over the bot. I landed on my feet behind it, thrusting my ice spear through it. I quickly dropped my ice spear to catch Rosa in my arms who hugged me tightly.
"Hoho! Look at this; a new annoying hedgehog for me to deal with... Eggbots! Attack that hedgehog and bring me the child after you kill the hedgehog."
I glared at the man. I hold Rosa closer and stepped back until my back hit a building wall. I cursed under my breath hoping Rosa didn't hear me swear.
"Aqua!" I looked up to see a blue blur form of a ball destroyed the eggbots one by one until Sonic himself showed up. "Sorry for the wait."
I smiled, "It's okay. You're here now... Some reason that man wants Rosa, this child in my arms", I informed him.
"Got it! You stay with Rosa while I deal with Egghead here."
I nodded. He curled up in the ball again and went at that man Sonic called 'Egghead'.
'Aqua.'
I blinked looking around not seeing anyone else but me and Rosa. It couldn't be Rosa. The voice sounded mature, but it felt very close to me.
"...Um, Ms. Aqua?" I looked at Rosa, who wasn't hugging me, had her hands out to me showing me a bracelet with seven metal flower charms on it, but the middle of each of those flowers were empty. "Here, it's yours."
I blinked confused, but I picked the bracelet charm in my hand and looked at it. It felt warm in my hands for some reason. I put it around my wrist and something weird happened. I wasn't in the town anymore, but Rosa the girl was still standing in front of me. Everywhere else was white. "W-where are we?"
Rosa giggled, hands behind her back smiling brightly. "You're inside a realm I created~."
I frowned, very confused, "W-what? But you seem normal human child to me?" I tilted my head making my bangs fall over my right eye.
Rosa huff-puffed her cheeks and crossed her small arms, "I'm not a child! For your information~, I'm actually one thousand thirty-four years old~." She said proudly. I couldn't help but sweat drop. "What?! Don't believe me? I can change to any age I wish! But this form had to do since Eggman is after the power I just gave you... Well, most of it~."
It didn't help if I didn't remember anything. It just made things more complicated than it already was.
"Don't worry. The Crystal orbs will guide you... After all, that's why you're here even though you do not remember our first encounter... Oopsies~! I can't tell you anymore than that! I'll get in huge trouble if I gave you more clues... So I gave you the power to use the power of ice, so please use it wisely."
Then I was back in town where I was standing, but with no Rosa. But the charm bracelet was still around my wrist gleaming in the sunlight. The ice spear appeared back in my hand. I looked at it, then at Sonic who was attacking that man named Eggman. I nodded to myself, then ran with my ice spear in hand.
"Sonic!" I yelled at Sonic getting his attention. "Give me a boost!" I saw him nod. He was standing a few steps from me. I jumped to him while he put his glove hands under my feet pushing me up high in the air where Eggman was flying in his metal thing surprising him.
"Heads up, Eggman!" I threw my ice spear at him. He dodged it, but the ice spear did pierce his flying metal thing so he was sent flying far when it exploded. I think I heard him curse out to me? Oh well. I landed on my feet.
"Nice job, Aqua! That was awesome." Sonic gave me thumbs up and winked at me making me feel happy. but embarrassed at the same time.
"Thank you..."
"Oh yeah, where's that child…Rosa was her name? She isn't around."
I blinked. 'I wonder if I should tell him? Or will he think I'm some crazed Hedgehog?' I was trying to think of something, but nothing came to mind until I heard Rosa's voice in my head.
'Don't tell Sonic yet... It's not time yet.'
I hated lying, but...I sighed softly, "I found her mother. That's why I came back to help you." I smiled.
"That's good to hear. Let's head home; the others were worried."
...
(Three Weeks Later)
It had been three tiring weeks for me. Finding two of those crystal orbs weren't easy. I had to do a test, but each one was different. It all depended on the crystal orb element I found; first one was the earth one which was the hardest one so far having to try to keep my balance while the ground shook especially when I had to balance on this wooden pool standing on one foot... Yeah, not doing that again! The second one wasn't as hard; it was the wind one. I had to use the wind to take me to the crystal orb's shrine. Thankfully, no one knew my whereabouts when I left. I always told them I was just looking for clues in town for my memories.
It was hard each time I lied to them. I felt like sooner or later they would figure out I was lying to them... Would they forgive me? Or would they reject me? I didn't want to think about that! I shook my head. "I need to stop thinking stuff like that! I should stay positive!" I nodded to myself determination shown in my green eyes.
"Oh, there you are, Ms. Aqua."
I turned around to see Cream, then I was hugged by Cheese... He decided to hug my face making me chuckle and pulled him off my face to gently kiss his forehead making me happy. He flew back to Cream's arms.
"What is it Cream? Need me for anything?"
She looks down nervously then looked at me bravely, "C-Can me and Cheese help you look for your memories? You don't want anyone to go with you ever since Eggman attacked three weeks ago... Everyone is worried about you so...I was wondering if I can help in some way? Or you can take Cheese with you? He's good at finding things."
Cream was such a sweet friend, but I hated to bring her into my mess. I shook my head no.
"Sorry, Cream, but...I wish to do this by myself, but it was sweet of you to ask to help." I smiled, "I better head out again… Tell the others I'm going off again."
I waved and walked outside to the next location where the crystal orb of fire was held. I hoped I wouldn't get toasted.
