Shadria's Pov
I sighed then recalled that fateful day, it began a cold hard war between earth and Egglina.
"Is this really necessary, Rogue?" I sighed as I changed from my normal black pants, white shirt and black jacket to a dress.
"It's a ball, Shadria. Yes it's necessary! Hurry up. I need to find something for me to wear too!" He growled as I slipped the straps over my shoulders, I quickly smoothed out the dress then stepped out.
"You look great, now buy it so I can find something before this store closes!" He said as he looked me over, I was wearing a pale pink floor length dress with black ballet flats. I rolled my eyes, took his advice and bought the dress. The only reason I was even going to the silly ball was because Rogue wouldn't let me Not go and because I was a top agent so I had to go. Another two hours later Rogue settled for a plain black button up shirt with black pants, all that fighting for a plain shirt and pants! I rolled my eyes at his choices, even though I had no idea whether my choice was any better.
The days flew by then it was the day for the ball, Rogue had personally called up appointments for me. I insisted that it wasn't necessary but he objected otherwise. I looked in the mirror, face flushing at how my hair had turned out. My bangs were combed straight and my hair was curled, Rogue whistled at me while I gave him a death glare.
"Don't you dare rub this in! Or I swear I'll-" I began to say when he started to laugh.
"Oh don't be such a party pooper! Come on, it's going to be a great night! I get to bug Kay, while you get to show off your dress! Trust me!" He said with a smile as he helped me into the limousine waiting for us, I grimaced at the 'Trust me' those were very famous last words and they never ended well. I would have enjoyed the ball, except for one small thing…Soni. She smiled and danced with every guy in the room, she was wearing a plain white dress with ruffles on the skirt and a gold necklace that matched the necklaces her friends wore.
"Hey Shadria! Great ball, huh?" She grinned with a fluted glass in her hand, soon enough she was surrounded by her friends. The youngest ,Tammy, was wearing a yellow dress with hints of orange. While the oldest ,Kay, was wearing a red bodice with a white skirt that came from the hips and opened up to see her wearing white leotards.
"You look pretty Shadria!" Tammy said smiling at me, I curtly nodded at her then made my way away from them. I could hear their whispers but I ignored them. I received quiet a few dances from different guys, but I declined them all. I was just waiting for Rogue to say the word so we could leave. My head snapped up at the sound of glass clinking, the president stood at the podium gathering everyone's attention.
"I'd like to thank you all for coming. Especially the Human Sonic Team." He said as he waved his hand towards Soni and the others, I rolled my eyes as they smiled back at him. My mind drifted off as he began to droll off talking about public well fare and other nonsense I could care less about then I felt my entire body stiffen. It was a soft thud. And it continued till it came to a stop. I looked over to Rogue motioning him to get closer to the president, while Soni and the others looked at each other in confusion. Then it happened. The roof was suddenly yanked open, we could see the starry night and the huge robot of Egglina's.
"Why how rude! You didn't invite me! I'm so insulted, the only way to make it up to me is if you hand over the world!" She cackled as robots descended from above, I snarled at them as they began to fire. I dodged to the side launching something similar to 'Chaos Spear'
"We had found out that saying 'Chaos Control' was the wrong wording and the more we said it the larger our headaches would get. So we said 'Serenity Control' replacing 'Chaos' with 'Serenity'." I explained as I handed Shadow the crystal I had used earlier to escape, He looked it over and passed it around till it came back to me. I continued…
Kay and Tammy helped the guest escape while Soni and I fought off the robots, within minutes they were all destroyed.
"Is that all Eggy! I thought you were tougher than that!" Soni taunted with one hand on her hip, something wasn't right. It was too easy. Way too easy. She was up to something… then Egglina began to laugh.
"Oh is that so? Then maybe you'll find her a little more…difficult." She laughed as a dark figure jumped in front of us. Soni and I gasped at what we saw. It was Soni. Or her metal version at least. It looked every bit the same as Soni, but she had crimson eyes like mine.
"Why if it isn't my copy." She sneered at Soni, I turned to her in shock as I heard her snarling
"You're the copy, metal freak!" She snarled then ran forward towards the metal clone, then they began to battle it out. I watched for an opening, Soni was slammed into the wall causing it to collapse leaving me a chance to fight.
"So you're my copy's copy! Hehe! How does it feel to be the copy of a copy?" She jeered at me, I ran forward as we went head to head.
"I don't know why don't you tell me!" I growled back as I kicked her back, I was about to run after her when Soni jumped back in. For over an hour we fought side to side against the metal replica, neither side gaining any leeway. Metal Soni jumped back and onto a large pile of rubble
"Well I've had a blast, but I think I'll be leaving!" She laughed then disappeared, Soni was about to run after her when I grabbed her arm
"Let me go! We can't let her get away!" She whined as she yanked away from me, I snarled and grabbed her by the shoulders turning her towards the city. At least what was left of the city. While we had been battling it out with Metal Soni, Egglina had destroyed the city. We looked at each other in shock and confusion, then we heard laughter.
"Well, well! I see Metal Soni was certainly a wake up call!" Egglina laughed as she hovered above us. I snarled getting into a position to fight when we heard a cry
"Soni!"
"Shadria!"
"Soni! Help us, dummy!"
We looked up to see our friends captured, Tammy, Kay and Rogue. Tammy squirmed in the robots gasp, while Kay and Rogue fought the best they could but found it useless.
"Let them go!" Soni snarled as she spin dashed towards them only to find that it was all a hologram.
"Ha ha! I have your little friends Soni and Shadria and I'd love to see you get them back!" She laughed then disappeared…
"From then on we searched and searched looking for them, but we could never find them. We had no allies, except each other. The government was in hiding and the world was practically torn to pieces from all the attacks. We couldn't be everywhere, while looking for our comrades. The world fell to Egglina's grasp within a month. We were fugitives in a world where we were once were heroes." I said coming to the conclusion
"Before we came here we were fighting against Metal Soni again, that's when Soni crumbled…"
" Come back here faker!" Soni snarled as she spin dashed towards the metal duplicate. I took the backside when I was knocked to the ground by a backup robot, pinning me to the ground. I looked up to see Soni on her knees looking up at the clone, panting.
"Please! Is this the only challenge I get? You're nothing! Your little friends fought harder than you have, when we experimented on them!" Metal Soni laughed then I saw Soni lunge towards Metal Soni but was knocked back to the ground.
"Give up! I'm so much better than you!" Metal Sonic sneered as her foot came down on Soni's chest, Soni gasped then shoved her off. She ran towards me knocking away the robot and shouted ' Serenity Control'…
"And now here we are. That's why she's been like this." I said finishing our tale. We were silent for a while, no one having any words to say.
"We'll help you out, Shadria. We just need a few days to prepare-" Sonic said stepping forward when I snarled at him
"Didn't you hear me earlier? We can handle this! We just needed to rest for a day then we go back, we don't need you. I believe that's what you said Shadow?" I said turning to him, I saw a smirk on his face.
"Yes, but we didn't know that you would be the human versions of us. You need our help." He said while I rolled my eyes at them.
"No we don't."
"Yes, you do." Sonic said stepping next to Shadow, I growled then started to walk back down the hill. Suddenly it felt like someone had dropped a piano on my head, it pounded and pounded.
"Ugh! Why is this happening!" I groaned as I collapsed to my knees, Shadow was next to me in an instant.
"Shadria? Are you okay?" Sonic asked I looked up at him glaring.
"Yes! I'm okay! I'm just clutching my head and on the ground for fun! What do you think Faker!" I snarled out then gritted my teeth as the pain spread through out my body.
"Where is the pain?" Shadow asked his hand on my back, I closed my eyes trying to focus on anything except the pain.
"Everywhere." I gasped then black spots appeared in my vision then nothing…
Soni's Pov
I ran, and ran. Tears streaming down my face. It was all my fault. I should have been keeping an eye out for the girls, but I was too busy bragging about how I could beat Metal Soni. It was my fault that they got captured and that they were being hurt. I didn't even know what happened to Amery, hopefully he's hiding with his parents along with the rest of humanity. I ran till I reached a small pond, a girl with messy windblown blond hair looked back at me. I wiped my eyes.
"What have I done." I cried feeling as though I couldn't make it to the future. Like all hope was lost. Then I dropped to my knees as a wave of pain washed over me. I clenched my teeth and tried to get back to my feet to get Sonic but the pain was like a heavy weight holding me to the ground. My first step ended up with me on the ground, I gasped as it tore through out my entire body, soon enough a wave of darkness washed over me. But I looked up to see a familiar face before I fell into the abyss and it wasn't a good one…Metal Sonic.
