Tears of the Tormented
Chapter 2
"What Do I Do Now?"
A/U: I don't own Sonic series or games, yea, yea, yea… Robotnic is in this one (BOO!) Well here it goes…
"I love Shadow!" talking
"I love Shadow!" thinking
Shadow: I get the picture, you creepy woman!
Sorry… :P

"Please Mother…Father… be alive!"
Hitomi ran as fast as she could to the village. It wasn't far, but each second counted as house by house, echidna by echidna were either destroyed or slaughtered by an entire army of robots. The one controlling them…was sitting in a floating saucer looking chair that fit Robotnic perfectly for his round, fat body.
Hitomi gasped, seeing the evil genius, and froze where she stood. She couldn't even say anything. Why was the doctor destroying their village any way? Does this village hold something that Hitomi was never told about? It couldn't be the Master Emerald. The village who took care of it was wiped out and legend has it that only one echidna from that village is still guarding it.
"Then why come here? Gosamu doesn't even have ONE chaos emerald here either. What could this maniac want with my people?" Hitomi tried to figure it out on her own for a good three seconds, but decided that questions would have to be answered.
Hitomi gathered her strength and courage and faced the doctor bravely, "Doctor Robotnic is it? Why do torment my people? What does this village have that you want?" Hitomi decided force would be used later. As a woman and a guardian, resorting to force was the last thing on her mind…she didn't want to the destruction to continue.
The doctor's evil laughter made her brace for impact… meaning the information she was about to get. Was she going to find something out she never knew of Gosamu? Hitomi couldn't think of any other reason why Robotnic was destroying her home. Didn't he know that Gosamu was the last village full of echidnas? Hitomi mentally scoffed, "Wait…why would he care? But then again, why IS he attacking us? He better answer fast before I lose my patience… I still need to find Mother and Father."
Robotnic looked at the young female echidna before him. He knew very well not to underestimate her. He made that mistake with the last two foolish ones who dared to attack him head on. His robots made sure that they suffered greatly. "So the girl wants to know why I'm destroying her little home, uh? Might as well say so then."
Robotnic laughed again, "Why? Because, my dear, I can and I will! Besides, you echidnas are the only ones who can use the chaos emeralds…aside from that blasted Sonic and that Knuckles…" Robotnic mumbled the last part to him self.
Hitomi stared at the doctor in disbelief, "You're killing off my village because of that? Gosamu hasn't seen the Master Emerald in over 50 years! It was handed over to another village because we couldn't take care of it properly! So why bother to destroy us?"
Hitomi growled as the doctor laughed, "Is that so? Well how silly of me, then I'll just destroy your village for the fun of it!" The doctor smiled…and it wasn't a nice smile.
Hitomi felt her rage gauge fill to the brink of pure madness. "FREAK… I'll KILL HIM!"
"IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THIS VILLAGE NOW I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" Hitomi screamed at the doctor, making him jump in surprise from his chair. Robotnic snarled at Hitomi, "How rude of you to shout at someone! I'll teach you a lesson! GET HER!"
Robotnic commanded his robots to stop what they were doing and charge at Hitomi to destroy her. Hitomi didn't care… she was going to fight each and every one of them and save her village, even if more than half of it was already destroyed… she was going to save what was left of it.
"How rude of YOU to destroy an entire village that did nothing to you! I'm going to teach YOU a lesson…one that you will never forget!"
Hitomi punched the last robot down, destroying it. Hitomi was no push over…when she fought, she fought with all of her heart, strength, and soul. She is…well…was the best fighter Gosamu had ever seen for generations and so was her father. Hitomi walked away from the heap of metal. Doctor Robotnic had gotten away, seeing that Hitomi was unstoppable when she was pissed and focused at the same time. That kind of fighter is hard to find… angry and passionate, but at the same time collective.
Hitomi looked at her home... it was destroyed in the battle…and seemed like every one was dead. Hitomi went around to each fallen echidna and checked for any signs of life.
"He got every body…well… not every body… I hope Ryukan and Rina are still okay. They should be at the cave by now."
Hitomi accepted the fact that every one from her village…even her parents. It hurt deep inside to know that they were dead, but it was even worse when she could not find their bodies.
Hitomi sighed sadly…there would be time to morn later. She had to get to her siblings. Their safety was her number one priority and duty. She had promised that to herself and to her parents, that if anything should happen, Ryukan and Rina would be hidden in the house cellar or the Emerald Cave and that the last one in the family would watch out for them.
Hitomi looked for all of the robots that she destroyed and put them together and lit them on fire. "Soon this village will be in flames and all that remains will be gone…I wish I could give everyone a proper burial, but Ryukan and Rina must be very worried by now." Hitomi noticed that the sun was starting to go down. The whole day had been wasted away with battle and numerous deaths and a new found enemy.
Hitomi walked away from the burning village and ran for the mountains to Emerald Cave to greet her young brother and sister. Even though her body ached from battle, Hitomi knew that by leaving them unguarded, they could be seriously hurt or worse.
It was in the middle of the night until Hitomi reached the cave. It was filled emeralds, providing a dull glow to light the dark cave.
"Ryu-kun…Rina-chan?" Hitomi searched the entrance of the cave. "They're not here…" Fearing the worst, Hitomi started to search the cave until she reached the dead end. The cave was only ten feet long…not very big and there were no special hide outs or anything. The boxes of food that sat there in the back of the cave where empty. "Five days worth of food and those brats didn't leave me any?" Hitomi sighed, hoping to now find two stuffed, fat kids sleeping off the food they might have shoved down their throats. There were no two stuffed fat kids sleeping. There was no one in the cave.
Hitomi ran out of the cave and looked around, "RYUKAN! RINA!"
Still no answer…
Hitomi felt tears coming down her face…and she never cries…this would be the first time she ever had… and she couldn't blame herself. "Where are they!" Hitomi whimpered, trying to vainly hold back any more tears from escaping her eyes.
Hitomi was about to leave the cave when she heard something, almost like a paper being crinkled. Hitomi looked down and found a piece of paper under her black shoes. Hitomi fixed her back shirt and pants, picked up the paper and read out loud to herself, "Hitomi of what was Gosamu village. I have what's left of your family. Bring me the Master Emerald from Angel Island and met me back at your so called home and I'll give you your brother and sister back unharmed. I'll give you two months. Until then. Sincerely: Doctor Robotnic"
Hitomi let out a blood curling scream of anger as she read the name of the fool who did this. "HOW DARE HE, I'LL KILL HIM! ROBOTNIC, YOU'RE A DEAD FOOL, DO YOU HEAR ME!"
Hitomi fell to the ground in hopelessness, "How in the hell am I going to do this? There's no way I can get to Angel Island… that's the sacred home of the Master Emerald and its protector. I'm sure there's no why the Guardian is going to let me have the emerald… what do I do now?"
