Sooooooooooo, I am writing some more!
Twilight seems a little crazed as to see what happens next, so I decided to be mean and make her wait! However, this chapter DOES tell us a little about why Sonic beat up Shadow in the first place...
Chapter 3- How It All Started
Keep walking. Just keep walking...
I stumble through the crowds of the shopping mall, trying not to hit anyone. Surprisingly, I can't see my pursuers... Have I lost them?
I stop and hide behind a white pillar, pressing myself against it so I go as flat as possible. No... There they are. They're walking calmly through the crowds, scanning the area, though I don't think they can see me. I sigh quietly, to elude the sharp ears of that bastard hedgehog, and make my way around the pillar to stay out of their periphiral vision.
Shit... Okay, stay calm... They can't see you... Wait... The yellow one... Shit. I think he just caught a glimpse of my arm. They're coming this way...
OK, three... two... one... GO!
I leap out from cover, much to the shock of the crowds. My legs turn into a black blur as I jump with all my might, smashing through the main window of the huge mall, landing in the car park and running some more. The yellow hedgehog behind me jumped through the broken window, the black wolf flashed through the roof and is now using some kind of magic to hover over me a few feet back, and the grounded faker ran through the open doors below the window. I keep running as fast as I possibly can, twisting through the cars and trolley stations until I leap off the car park top floor and out onto the road.
Slow down already, Faker! We both know I am faster at accelerating than you!
From behind me I can hear him panting for breath and I know he's getting tired of running. The wolf girl is trying to hit me with some weird magic but I can easily dodge it; and then she has pulled back all of a sudden, skidded to a halt with that yellow hedgehog. They must be out of gas. But Faker is still here. Still running along behind me, eating my dust.
Is that...? Yes! I can get a train! I can get a train and flee to another country!
I pull into Mobius Station and shoot through the crowds in a shallow loop, but the Faker seems to catch my trail of thought and slide tackles me to the ground. I get up and keep running, refusing to attack, but I suddenly feel a huge weight on my back and I tumble to the ground. He has pinned me.
"Get off of me, you asshole!" I yell, as he attempts to bind my hands, "Or I'll remove my gauntlets!"
He certainly seems to hesitate at this, as he knows what happens when I remove the rings around my wrists, but he continues and I am suddenly forced to snap the rope and kick him in the stomach, only to get up and start running again. But now he is chasing, as much as he is attacking; every few steps I feel a painful blast of energy to a varying area of my body, and he is using his emerald to attack me.
That spoilt ASSHOLE! He is using the power of the Chaos emeralds to hurt the innocent?!
I have no idea why I am being chased in the first place, but I don't feel like stopping to find out. My thoughts are suddenly interrupted as my leg is hit with another blast of energy, and I tumble to the floor. I turn and speak, in an attempt to reason any manner of peace with him, but this just leaves my chest open to an attack from the Chaos emerald. The pain is unbearable; it feels like a red-hot poker searing into my flesh, and I'm starting to get dizzy from some kind of accident involving my head.
I get up and helplessly run, much slower than before, into the neighbourhood areas; but all of a sudden my tail feels like it's being ripped off as he grabs it, lifts me high into the air and launches me back down at the ground. Everything went black for a few seconds, but I manage to open my eyes a little and I can see a pair of sparkling jade eyes looking into them. They sure are beautiful. But the feeling doesn't last and I lose consciousness.
And all this just because of one small action for the greater good of someone else.
How do ya like THAT?!
Anyway, I know this chapter was a little shorter, but don't fret! I didn't have as much time to write today, anyway. I promise something will happen soon!
Until then, though, just R&R!
