I believe the time-skip will occur the next chapter. This chapter will be much longer due to fight scenes. Oh and to werewolf99, I looked up the names of comic book stores in Idaho and found Captain Comics, The Boise Comic Book Co. , and Outland Comics. Hope that helps.
Chapter 3: Revenge Of The Swallow
After Burn escorted her back to her house, they spotted Wave's father's car parked beside her mother's. Fire began to slowly build up in him.
"Wave, you gonna be okay tonight?" Burn asked as they as stepped under the roof above the porch.
"Don't worry about me, besides...he won't be here much longer anyways." Wave glared towards her father's car.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Burn asked.
"Ah nothing...but thanks again for bringing me home."
"My pleasure ma'am. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. But remember this, if I hear you scream...just know I'm not coming empty-handed. I know where my parents stash their weapons." Burn warned.
"Have you had experience with them?" Wave asked rather surprised.
"Yes ma'am, me and my dad often went to a shooting gallery, I'm pretty good, mabye I could teach you one day."
"Yeah...one day. Goodnight Burn."
"Goodnight Wave."
When Burn walked off, Wave went inside to find her mother cleaning dishes. Wave had told her that she was eating out with her friends. Her dad had actually seen Burn through the window and decided to confront Wave about him.
"Wave, who was that?" He asked from the couch.
"Uh, just a friend. I met him yesterday." Wave said nervously as he got off the couch and walked over to her.
Wave could smell the alcohol surrounding her father and shuttered at the smell. He leaned down towards her.
"So, we heard you were entering that fight club downtown." Her father smirked.
Wave was shocked, he knew? She knew? But how?
"How did you find out?" Wave asked taking a step back.
"Some friend of yours told us how you have to fight him Saturday."
Wave realized he was talking about Predator Hawk, he must have met her parents earlier after their little confrontation downtown.
"He's not my friend!" Wave retorted.
"Do you realize how much joy it bring me to see you go down in front of everyone." Her father laughed evily.
That statement ripped a small hole in Wave's heart. Her anger rising, her heart aching, her thoughts scrambling. She gritted her teeth as tears streamed down her face. She was so angry she didn't stop what happened next. She angrily charged her dad with a battle cry but was kicked hard in the chest knocking the wind out of her. Her mother ran to stop him.
"STOP IT!" She yelled.
"NO!" He snarled.
Her mother tried to intervene but her father slammed her back towards the sink. Wave got up and yelled at her father.
"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!" Wave cried loudly and ran upstairs to her room while her father laughed.
She went into her room, slammed the door hard and dived on her bed crying into her pillow. She took her fixed sunglasses and threw them into a wall. Cuddling with her pillow, she turned on her side kept her eyes shut while tears continued to wet the covers.
"Why? Why? I'm not brave? I'm not strong...I'M NOTHING!" Wave cried.
She looked up at her window to see another shooting star going by. She began to make another wish.
"Oh shooting star, please help me...please help me in this time of need. Show me a way out of this."
When she reopened her eyes, she was startled by a pair of red eyes staring at her through the window. It couldn't have been Burn, his eyes were yellow.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? And why do you look like Sonic?" Wave began to back away clutching her pillow tightly.
The figure actually jumped into her room making her want to scream...but she didn't. The figure continued to stare at her.
"Please don't hurt me. Please don't!" Wave shut her eyes and winced.
The figure stopped at her bed and pointed.
"Wave...the swallow?" He spoke.
Wave was shocked by this...he knew her name?
"You know me? But how?" Wave asked terrified.
"Shadow sent me. I am Metal Sonic." He said.
Wave then remembered one time when Shadow mentioned how he and some of the others had stopped Dr. Eggman's final plan, which resulted in him getting killed. That plan involved Metal Sonic who ended up captured and reprogrammed...eventually serving with G.U.N. where Shadow and Rouge worked together at.
"Oh, I've heard about you. Just never seen you...until now. Was the staring really necessary?" Wave groaned.
"Sorry about that...I heard what happened a few minutes ago. Did he hit you?"
"He kicked me in the stomach. But that's it."
"Shall I execute?"
"No...not yet..."
"Well then, Shadow wanted to guard you at night for awhile."
"And you're okay with that?"
"I don't need sleep, so yes."
Wave smiled a bit, a nighttime bodyguard huh? Didn't sound too bad.
"Also, Shadow said he's offering you a spot at G.U.N. if you want." Metal Sonic informed her.
"Really? Wow...I'd have to think about that." She nodded.
And so for the rest of the night, Metal Sonic stood in a corner watching over her. Thank goodness Wave's eyes were closed so she wouldn't have to deal with Metal Sonic's scary stare. At one point she was having a bad dream about her father badly beating her. Metal Sonic noticed she was muttering quietly and shaking. He walked over and rubbed her head slowly trying to soothe her. Everything was going to be okay that night.
The next morning, Rouge took Wave to the gym and Burn joined them...not knowing he was about to get into some trouble. They entered the gym where they spotted Sonic and Shadow running on treadmills, Blaze doing stretches and Knuckles lifting weights.
"So what exactly are we doing again?" Wave asked.
"We're gonna practice some light sparring, lifting weights and speed." Rouge explained.
"Oh, that doesn't sound too bad." Wave smiled.
"Wave, win or lose, I know you'll do your best." Burn patted her back.
"Thanks Burn." She blushed.
"So you're actually training her?" Came a voice.
They all turned to the boys bathroom where Predator Hawk exited from laughing. Wave nervously backed away while Rouge and Burn stood their ground. Predator Hawk scoffed at Rouge but didn't recognize Burn. He didn't get a chance to see him while he was being attacked by Jet and Storm two nights ago.
"Who the hell are you?" Hawk asked.
"The name's Burn and after what I've heard, I don't appreciate you hurting my friend here." Burn sneered pointing to Wave.
"The bitch deserves it, so why don't you back off?" Predator Hawk tries to intimidate him.
Hawk was only about two inches taller but Burn wasn't afraid of him. Burn gritted his metal teeth which Hawk noticed.
"And what's with those metal teeth, what are you some kind of robot or something?"
"There for doing THIS!"
Burn lunged and took a bite into Hawk's right arm making him cry out.
"AAAGGHHH! WHY YOU LITTLE FUCKER!" Hawk screeched.
He lunged forward and sent a hard right hook to Burn's nose knocking him down. Wave gasped seeing her friend go down, she built up a little bit of courage and jumped onto Hawk's back trying to pull him away. Hawk reached back swiping his sharp claws at Wave. Burn got up and launched a fireball at Hawk's chest burning him.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled tossing Wave off him.
Clutching his chest, he sent an angry glare to Burn.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT! AS FOR YOU WAVE...NO FUCKING MERCY!" He snarled before running out of the gym.
Sonic, Blaze, Knuckles and Shadow gathered around. Rouge checked Burn's nose.
"Ooh, that's looks bad. You okay?" Rouge asked.
"I'm fine." Burn nodded.
"Burn, you should go get that checked out." Wave said.
"Yeah you're probably right. I'll see you fellas later." Burn left the gym.
Wave had so much rage deep inside her, combined from last night...and now this. Her head shook, her eyes gained a tint of red, her gloved fists clenched tightly, her anger building. The others had began to notice and got worried.
"Whoa Wave calm down, just relax." Rouge said.
"NO!"
Wave turned and punched a punching bag so hard it actually came right off the chain and landed on the ground with a thud. Everyone stood there frozen in fear...except Shadow who smirked.
"Interesting." He said to himself.
Wave stood their breathing angrily, she couldn't think of something else than beating the shit out of Predator Hawk...and getting rid of her father.
"Rouge..." She finally spoke.
"Y-yes?" The bat said nervously.
"When do we start training?"
Later, Jet and Storm invited Wave and Burn out for pizza. Wave had told Jet and Storm about the extreme gear and the two were arguing over who could probably use them better. Wave and Burn just chuckled like they were watching a comedy show.
"You may be good in strength, but I'm the master of speed. Hell I'd probably beat Sonic the hedgehog!" Jet scoffed eating another slice.
"Mabye in the air, but not on the ground." Burn joined in.
"Yeah Jet, when was the last time I ever saw you running a long distance?" Storm asked.
"Uh..." Jet couldn't find a response and stayed silent.
"By the way Wave, I have to admit, you showed us plenty of skills back there in the gym." Burn said.
"Aw thanks...just hoping I can last long with Predator Hawk." Wave worried.
"We know you can do it, gather up all that anger you have...and unleash it." Storm emphasized with clenched fists.
"But you have to remember...anything goes." Jet reminded her.
"Anything?"
"Anything." Jet smirked and winked.
Wave knew exactly what he was referring to and nodded. For the next few nights, Metal Sonic stayed on guard in her room, and everyday Rouge would help her train, she was getting physically better and better, but her emotions were still hard to control. However, on Friday night...there was more trouble for Burn. That night he had decided to go for a walk alone downtown. He was enjoying himself letting the breeze crash against his fur. But the moment would soon be ruined when he is suddenly tapped on the shoulder by a claw.
"Huh?" Was all Burn could say before being sucker-punched hard.
He spun into a wall and was then kicked deeper into a nearbye alley. As he tried to gain his sight, he could see what looked like Predator Hawk advancing on him...and he didn't look happy.
"YOU!" Burn said getting up.
"What? Surprised that it was me? You shouldn't be." Hawk said.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you hurt Wave?" Burn wanted answers.
"That's none of your business newbie! What matters now is the fact I'm about to beat the fuck out of you for burning me. THIS IS PERMANENT!" Hawk showed off small burn mark on his chest.
"Suits you." Burn sneered.
If there was one thing you never did, it would be pissing Hawk off to the point of pure rage...and Burn just did that.
"I'M GONNA TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" Hawk yelled and lunged.
Burn was too slow to build up enough fire in his hands and was tackled down and beaten and clawed savagely. Burn's cowboy hat went flying and Burn covered his face. Burn couldn't focus on putting a barrier of fire around him and was instead suffering. Then, Hawk took Burn's right arm and broke it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Burn yelled grabbing his arm in pain.
"YEAH! DOESN'T FEEL TOO GOOD NOW DOES IT?" Hawk yelled in his face.
He then proceeded to bound and gag Burn before dragging him off over to Rouge's house and left him there, but said a few parting words.
"DON'T YOU EVER BITE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! NEXT TIME IT'S YOUR NECK!" Hawk threatened.
Hawk left quickly before Rouge could come to the door. When she saw Burn's condition she yelled out angrily.
"PREDATOR HAAAAAAWWWWWK!" She yelled.
She quickly brought him inside, untied him and patched up his wounds. She called his parents letting them know he was okay. Rouge also called Blaze who was horrified and upset, but no one was more upset than Wave who ended up crying all night with Metal Sonic comforting her.
Saturday morning, everyone came over to check on Burn. He was okay...but a bit beat up and had a cast over his arm. Rouge had recovered his hat before Hawk could get to it.
"Burn, I was so worried." Wave said tearing up.
"I can't believe he would do that." Rouge growled.
"Wave...I won't be able to make it to the fight...but I want you to win. Kick his ass!" Burn clenched his good fist.
"You got it!" Wave nodded.
That night, it was time for the fights to begin. These weren't boxing matches, they were cage fights. And unfortunately for most fighters...their were barely any rules...the only rules there were are no friend assistance or guns. Wave watched from a back room how brutal some of the fighters were. She could see the spit and blood flying out of their mouths. Wait a minute...weren't these guys kids too? Rouge, Jet and Storm were helping her prepare.
"Rouge, I thought you said kids would be fighting this time!" Wave said with her eyes wide open.
"They are kids...crazy ones that for sure. But the main event is different...that's you and him." Rouge informed him.
"Oh..."
Just then, the asshole himself came over fixing his red gloves.
"Oh Wave, if only it didn't have to come to this." Hawk chuckled.
Wave growled and attempted to lunge at him but Storm held her back.
"Not now Wave, save it for the cage." Rouge said.
Hawk laughed loudly before leaving. After watching 5 more crazy fights...it was time for the main event. The announcer boomed over his microphone.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT. AND IT'S NOT ONLY OUR FIRST TEEN VS CHILD FIGHT...IT'S THE FIRST BOY VS GIRL MATCH!" The announcer said.
Some people gasped and other were interested. Rouge, Jet, Storm, Sonic, Amy, Blaze, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Silver and Cream sat at the front right beside the ring. Wave's mother joined not wanting to be anywhere near her husband who was sitting a few chairs back. Burn watched on TV in his room with Metal Sonic who Wave told him about.
"NOW, LET'S WELCOME THE 2-YEAR RUNNING CHAMPION...PREDATOR HAWK!"
Hawk entered receiving a mix of cheers and boos and ignored those. Two of his friends aided him as his team. He stepped into the cage while of his friends puts in his mouthguard.
"AND THE CHALLENGER...THE FIRST GIRL EVER TO FIGHT A BOY HERE...WAVE THE SWALLOW!" The announcer boomed.
Wave expected to get complete boos...but to her surprise...she received nothing but cheers. This angered Hawk and he cracked his knuckles when she entered the cage. Jet walked over and put in her mouhguard and took off the sunglasses.
"You got this Wave...and remember...anything goes!" Jet said slipping something into the back of pants pockets before flipping off Hawk who sent it back.
Wave was no longer afraid...she was extremely pissed off. He beat her up, kissed her, assaulted Burn, signed her up for this and...simply made her suffer. Hawk could see the anger written all over her face.
"Ooh, looks like I'm gonna get a challenge." Hawk gritted his teeth.
"I'm not scared of you anymore Hawk." Wave sneered.
"I bet you're not after I beat up your boyfriend."
Wave was taken back by that word. Boyfriend?
"He's not my boyfriend, just a very good friend that you hurt!"
"I know you want to unleash your rage, which is why I'm gonna make sure this lasts, wouldn't want to disappoint the audience."
Just then, Shadow entered wearing a whistle on a chain.
"Shadow? What are you doing?" Wave asked.
"I'm the referee. It's a summer job. Wave...are you ready?"
"I'm ready?"
Shadow nodded before blowing the whistle.
"FIGHT!"
Wave and Hawk circled each other with their fists up. She felt more confident since her training went well. Hawk swung first but Wave ducked under it. Wave suddenly did a spin-kick hitting Hawk in the stomach surprising him and many others. Hawk then swung two more time hitting Wave in the chest twice before getting in an uppercut. Wave staggered back but she was far from defeated. Her friends and mother were cheering her on which disgusted her dad. She ran towards Hawk and blocked one punch and finally punched Hawk in the face. Not letting him block, she got in 3 more hard punches before going for the chest. Hawk retaliated by slamming his fists on her head and then kneeing her in the chin. Wave forgot it wasn't just punches and kicks she could do.
As she gained her sight back, Hawk was charging right at her, claws outstretched. She dodged one swipe but not second one which cut into her face. She yelped and jumped back. She rubbed her face feeling the sting.
"What's wrong Wave, scared of claws?" Hawk teased her while wiggling his clawed hands.
"NO! I'M NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING!" Wave yelled charging him.
Hawk charged back, both with fists ready to swing. Their fists collided with each other's face so hard it propelled them back. The force could be heard all over the building and most of them winced. Wave and Hawk stood on separate sides panting. Shadow was impressed and smiled.
"You got some skills swallow. Still won't save you in the end." Hawk said.
"Yeah, wanna come closer and say that to my face?" Wave retorted.
"Oh I got something for your face to see. And it's my fist crashing into it nonstop!" Hawk snarled charging once again.
But this time Wave had a plan, she waited for the right moment. When he lunged, she jumped higher, squished his face between her feet, and flipped them while in the air so Hawk landed hard on the floor earning "Ooh's" from the crowd. She landed on her feet and proceeded to pounce on him to pin him. But Hawk wasn't having it. The two wrestled on the ground trying to pin the other. Hawk clawed her in several places and Wave punched him. Hawk was determined not to just pin her, but to knock her out cold. They rolled around for a minute before Hawk finally pinned her. Seeing his chance, he punched her twice in the face but Shadow blew the whistle.
"BREAK!"
Hawk angrily got off her and went back to his corner, Wave struggled to get up but did so and walked to her friends who were now standing right beside the cage. Jet walked in to giver her some water and tend to her wounds. She had a black eye, cuts and bruises over most of her body. Hawk also had a black eye and bruises in most areas.
"You're doing great Wave!" Tails said.
"Burn is surely proud of you." Rouge said.
"You can beat him." Sonic said.
"Whoop his ass!" Knuckles said.
"I believe in you Wave." Cream said.
Wave felt a lot better hearing her friends encourage her, she saw her mom smiling and waving. But her dad was angry but she paid him no mind. At Burn's house, Burn was extremely happy.
"You can do it Wave." Burn said.
"I know she can!" Metal Sonic nodded.
Wave looked over at Shadow who looked ready to blow the whistle...though he looked hesitant to do so. Wave nodded just as Jet got out. Shadow blew the whistle.
"FIGHT!"
Hawk and Wave met in the middle.
"You've lasted this long, but now...your time here ends." Hawk said.
"Bring it on." Wave sneered.
Hawk swung quickly and punched her back, then she punched him. They started fist-fighting, going back and forth. They really wanted to make this last, the crowd was loving it, the tension was extremely high. Their blows became harder, Predator Hawk nearly went down to his knees, but Wave wasn't so lucky. After another hit to the face she fell against the cage. Her friends gasped...her mother began to cry, her father...laughed receiving glares by the kids and some others. Hawk tiredly walked up to her and backhanded her to the ground. Wave was breathing heavily, her strength weakening, her heart breaking.
"Give up swallow. You can't defeat the champ...if you do I won't have to knock you out!" Hawk stood her over.
Burn and Metal Sonic watched with worry and scooted closer to the TV. Burn could see the sadness in her eyes...he called Rouge.
"Rouge...put me on the screen, I have something to say."
Rouge nodded and showed it to Wave who looked.
"B-b-burn?" Wave gasped.
"What's going on?" Hawk snarled.
"Hold it." Shadow said.
"Wave...I want to know that I've seen the whole thing. You can do this...you need to believe in yourself...we all want you to. Please...do it for me...do it for your mother...do it...for you." Burn said.
Wave was deeply touched by his words. Then, Tails started something. He stood up and started clapping and saying her name slowly.
"Wave...Wave...Wave..."
Rouge and Knuckles joined in...then Sonic, the Amy, then Silver...then Cream...then everyone in the entire building except of course for Hawk, his friends and her father.
"WAVE! WAVE! WAVE! WAVE! WAVE! WAVE! WAVE!"
Wave felt a boost of strength, she slowly began to get up shocking Predator Hawk. She got up staggering a bit and chuckled.
"Hey Hawk." Wave said.
"What?"
"There's something I forgot to give you all week, I just never had the chance." Wave said turning to him with a beat up seductive look.
"What's that?" Hawk cracked his knuckles and walked closer to her.
"Remember that kiss you gave me...I wanted to return it before we finished this." Wave said trying to look innocent.
Hawk was a bit surprised but smirked.
"Apparently all I had to do was kick your ass in front of everybody to get you to come to your senses. I can do that." Hawk said.
He bent down and shut his eyes ready to pucker up. Wave whispered to herself.
"Anything goes". Wave whispered.
He grabs for something in her back pocket, and out pops her giant wrench. In a quick swing she smashes it into Hawk's face hard earning massive gasps from everyeone...even Shadow didn't see that coming. Hawk staggered back before Wave hit him again in the chest right where the burn mark was. He fell onto his back and Wave hit him two more times on his legs injuring them.
"AAAAHHHH!" Hawk yelped.
"OH QUIT WHINING!" Wave scoffed raising the wrench again.
Hawk braced for impact though he was starting to lose consciousness. Wave then dropped the wrench and pounced on him delivering severe blows to the face after each word.
"I. AM. SICK. OF. YOU. BEATING. ON. ME. AND. I. WILL. NOT. TAKE. IT. ANY. MORE!" Wave punched him 17 times before she was restrained by Shadow.
Hawk lied there bleeding badly and Shadow checked his pulse...he was still alive...but barely. Wave then snapped back to reality realizing she had went too far. But the fight was over. Shadow grabbed her hand and raised it in the air.
"THE WINNER BY KO, AND THE NEW CHAMPION CAGE FIGHTER...WAVE THE SWALLOW!"
Everyone stood up and cheered wildly including her friends while her father angrily left to go back home. But Wave wasn't happy, they all watched as Hawk had to be put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. She felt bad.
"Shadow...I think I went too far." Wave said.
"But he deserved it." Shadow said.
Wave couldn't find a response and left the cage. Later that night, everyone gathered at Burn's house having a little cookout. They were all so stoked over the fight.
"And when she took out the wrench I was like HOLY SHIT!" Knuckles screamed and Silver laughed.
Wave sat down not talking much while eating a burger. She had bandages placed on several parts of her body. Tails came and sat next to her.
"Hey Wave, you doing alright?" He asked.
"Hey Tails...and yeah I'm okay."
"What? No shorty? No shrimp?"
"I'm not feeling it today."
"Oh. You seem upset...is there anything I can do to help?"
"Not really. Look, I kinda feel bad now. I think I went too far with that wrench. I could've killed him."
"You wanna go see him in the hospital?"
"Actually I do."
"We will go once everybody is gone...we should bring Burn and Rouge as well."
After a bit more celebrating, Wave, Tails, Burn and Rouge headed to the hospital. Turns out the doctors and nurses had seen the fight and cheered Wave when she entered. But she ignored them and asked where Hawk's room was...much to the surprise of the workers. When they found the room they saw Predator Hawk lying in bed asleep. He had a lot of bandages and a large one wrapped around his head. Wave nearly teared up.
"Be careful Wave." Rouge warned.
She walked over and lightly patted his head. He stirred awake almost instantly.
"Ugh...er...who is...where am...W-W-Wave?" Hawk said looking to her.
"Hey Hawk. How are you feeling?" Wave asked.
Hawk winced before looking back at her, no anger in his eyes.
"Is this how you feel when...me or...your father hurts you?" He asked.
She was surprised by this question but nodded.
"Oh...Wave...I know this has been going on for a long time but...I'm sorry."
"What?"
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry for...everything I did to you and Burn." Hawk said as tears formed in his eyes.
Wave was shocked, she never thought he would say that to her...ever. Rouge, Burn and Tails came closer.
"You're apologizing? Why? You hate us!" Wave said sitting next to him.
"I was hoping you already knew this but...do you think you were the only person tormented by your father?"
Wave's eyes widened and so did the other's.
"What do you mean?"
"Whenever your father wasn't beating you up...he was beating ME up. He always thought since I like to cause trouble...he would give me trouble. I hated your father...so much. And nobody would help me out when that happened, probably because of my reputation. You reminded me so much of him, I wanted to hurt him...but you were easy prey, so I turned on you. To add to that, I got upset with you when we were little because you would never help me whenever I was in trouble, you rejected me as a friend because I insulted you when I was just hiding my little crush on you and you always got protected by your mother when you were hurt." Predator Hawk explained to her.
"But what about your parents?" Burn spoke up.
"They were never there for me...EVER!" Hawk said.
"Neither were my biological parents!" Burn sighed.
This made Hawk gasp.
"You too?"
"Yeah."
Now Hawk felt even worse for hurting Burn.
"I can't believe my father would do that to you. You should've told me and instead of beating on me all the time." Wave said.
"I was just angry okay? I have anger issues." Hawk muttered.
He gulped before speaking up again.
"Wave...you put up one hell of a fight tonight...and won. You beat me!"
"Yeah...but I didn't mean for it to go that far. I just got really mad and wanted to end the fight. How long will you be here?"
"The doctor said a week."
"Predator Hawk...please...can we all forget what happened in the past and move on?" Wave asked.
Predator Hawk began to cry but tried to make a smile.
"I'm so sorry Wave." He cried.
Wave leaned down to give him a hug and he hugged back.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry." He continued to cry.
This brought Burn, Rouge and Tails to tears as well. Rouge then remembered something.
"Wave, I bet your father is pissed that you won." She warned.
"Ugh, I've had it with him. That's it...I'm done." Wave said bringing out her phone.
"Jet...Storm...it's time!" She said.
"What? What's time?" Hawk asked.
"Just make sure you're watching the news tonight and tomorrow." Wave said.
Eventually the four made it back to Wave's house...where several police cars, an ambulance and for some reason a firetruck were there. All of their friends were nearby including Wave's mother who looked rather relaxed by the street. Jet, Storm and Metal Sonic came towards Wave, Burn, Tails and Rouge who had gathered with the others.
"What happened?" Burn asked.
"They think it was a freak accident. Saying he had a bad dream and beat himself to death before snapping his own neck." Jet winked to Wave.
Wave looked at Storm who had blood stains on his gloves while Jet looked clean. They both smirked while Metal Sonic spoke.
"The deed is done Wave." He said.
Everyone, including Wave and her mother knew what they really meant. The two had broken into the house, escorted her mother out, and after Storm pummeled her father...Jet snapped his neck killing him. Metal Sonic made sure to cover any traces that they were there. They all saw her dad's corpse being covered by a tarp and placed into the ambulance. Wave just couldn't stop staring...something shook in her brain...something changed...in a good way.
"Wow...he's dead. He's actually dead. Wave...you're free...you're free..." Burn said in shock.
Everyone turned to Wave who just stared as the ambulance left out of sight. Slowly, her shocked face went from closed mouth...to neutral...to a smile...to a big grin...and finally to a smirk. She looked almost evil...like she came up with a master plan.
"Wave you okay?" Burn asked.
"Oh I'm fine...and I'm gonna be for...the rest of my life." Wave said looking up into the sky...another shooting star flew by.
"That's three times in a row...weird." Storm said.
"Thank you shooting stars...but who knows...I may need your help in the future..." Wave said to herself.
She turned to Jet and Storm who nodded at her...and she nodded back winking. Yep...things were going to be different for quite awhile...but there was something about that smirk on Wave's face that worried Burn.
To be continued...
