Chapter 2: growing in strength
"what the fuck happened?" I asked. I couldn't see where I was. I heard the door opening, but my eyes couldn't see who came in.
"how are you?" I heard a female voice, but it wasn't Spirit or Rose or Blaze or anyone from our team.
"who are you?" I asked.
"you know who I am, I ask it again. How are you!" her voice was more pushing.
"hurt. Sore. Tired. And fucking annoyed by not seeing who you are." She put on the lights. It was Angel. Her black leather pants and her white shirt were no uncommon suit. She is a blue-lavender cat.
"hi Angel. Long time no see. You look good…" Angel silenced me.
"I found your sword. Remember your god blade? I took good care of it and I want to test out if it still is sharp as always." She said. I kicked her and jumped out of bed. Immediately I felt pain in my whole body, but I kept walking. I walked a long time before I found the exit. Ones out I couldn't find my way back. I walked in the woods for a few hours.
"there is the hedgehog from the prophecy." Someone said. Then I fainted.
Later that day.
"is he awake?" "I don't know." "poke him!" I heard.
"don't you fucking try!" I said while I held the stick. My hand was getting hot and it burned the stick to ash.
"I am the leader of the Nocturnus tribe, Imperator Ix." The tallest said.
"I know who you are, sir. Where is Shade, I need to speak with her." I tried to stand, but they kept me lying on the bed.
"Shade was with you." He said.
"oh right. Well… I need to get back to my team."
"no, you need to learn to control your power, mobian."
"sir, you know I'm a human."
"no kid. Your mom and dad are both mobians, and you've been born on Mobius, making you a mobian." He walked away. "your training begins tomorrow, when you have eaten properly." I was thinking why he would call me mobian when I clearly was human.
The next day.
A female echidna woke me up, I got a brand new suit. Pants and shirt together. It had a deep red color, but my sleeves had a yellow color. I walked to Imperator Ix.
"what do I need to learn at first?" I asked.
"create a flame ball, a sword, armor and a shield." He said. I focused and created a ball, a shield and a sword. Then I tried to create the armor, but only thing I could create was a cloud of fire in the shape of armor.
"again." He said. I practiced for over an hour. Then I heard someone in the bushes, so I made the sword and prepared myself. It was E-123 Omega.
"Jason, we have been searching for you everywhere." He said.
"I'm going to keep train here. If I'm ready, I'll come back." I said. I trained day and night, but the armor was way to hard.
"try creating it on your body instead of in the air." Imperator Ix said. I tried and it finally succeeded.
"I'm off to my team." I said. I walked trough the forest until I reached the canyon, then I jumped towards the shelter and entered it, but it was to dark to see.
"hello, anyone in here?" I asked. I heard something behind me. I made a fist and prepared myself. Then someone jumped on me. I kicked the person of me and created a whole armor and weapons.
"stop. It's Jason." I heard. The light went on and I was greeted by everyone, even Sonic and Blaze, who brought a few people like: Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver, Espio, Vector and Charmy. everyone, except Spirit.
"where is Spirit?" I asked.
"she went to the music room." Red said. I walked inside the music room. Spirit was behind the piano again. This time she played "my immortal" by "evanescence". It sounded like she was crying while singing. When the guitar came in in the song, I played it. She looked up and walked to me.
"I though you were dead and I could never say how I feel about you." She said crying.
"what do you mean? Do you mean you love me?" I asked.
"yes, I do, I really love you." she kissed me.
"I'll make sure that from now on, no one will harm you." I said. I walked back to the group.
"I don't think we have enough bedrooms now." I said.
"no, we need only 1 more room." Sonic said. Then Spirit walked in.
"I'll share a room with Jason." She said.
"are you sure?" I asked.
"we slept together ones, remember, back at camp."
"she meant together in one room, we didn't…"
"we understand it, Jason. And even if you did, it's only natural." Sonic said.
That night.
We both slept in pyjamas. Spirit was fast asleep. I had my arms around her. I felt weird, different from last time. Spirit woke up.
"how late is it?" she asked sleepy.
"2 A.M." I said.
"okay." She turned around and fell asleep again. I did the same.
The next day.
"good morning." I heard Spirit say.
"good morning , what do you want to eat?" I asked.
"a baked egg and some bacon." I walked to the kitchen and made a few eggs with bacon. I walked back in.
"here it is, what do I get for it?" I asked. She put her hands around my neck and kissed me, while she escorted my hand towards her back. She threw me on the bed and began to…
A few minutes later.
"you're doing great." I said panting. "and that from only letting me run for a kiss."
"you didn't get me." She said. Then I grabbed her and kissed her.
"I got you." We ate our breakfast and walked out of the bedroom, both dressed. I wore the suit I got from Imperator Ix and Spirit wore her white shirt, blue pants and her brown jacket. I saw someone at the door. It was Mika and his father, Mephilles.
"hi bro, how are you." I asked.
"I'm fine, but I heard you got captured. We'll help you in this fight. Eggman won't get away this time." Mika said. Then, Spirit moaned. She was weak in her legs and she fell on the floor.
"what is it?" I asked.
"I'm vanishing again, this form wasn't for ever. If you don't do anything, I'll die." She said.
"what can I do?"
"find a negative emerald and put it next to me. That'll repair my body."
"where can I find one?"
"they are dark chaos emeralds and can be found in a forest." I walked towards the forest. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find anything. When I started walking back, I found a emerald-like black stone. I brought it back to base and put it next to Spirit.
"please, work." I said with tears in my eyes. After 2 or 3 minutes of waiting, I gave up. I gave her a last kiss. Then her body felt warm and started glowing. She started moving again and she kissed me back.
"I think this kiss was good enough." I said. The stone was gone. Then someone breached the door.
"so here are you hiding." We all walked to the door and saw eggman with a army of robots, Red and Shade.
"bring it egghead." Sonic said. Red attacked me again, but I was to fast for him this time. I created my armor, my sword and a shield and attacked him with my sword.
"I gained a lot of new move since last time." I said while I made a fire tornado towards him. Then I created a fist of fire and punched Red away. Spirit was fighting with Shade and Spirit was winning. I started destroying robots.
"everyone, retreat. We'll fight it out next time." Eggman said. I ran towards Spirit and kissed her.
"we did it, we're owning Eggman, but he'll be back with more, so let's gain even more people." I said. And so everyone started looking for more people to help.
