"WHAT!" Everybody said in unison. "Are you sure Nicole?" Sally asked frantically. "Yes. My scanners are picking up on chaos energy over that way." She answered. "We have to go see what's happening over there!" Rouge stated. "Come on guys! We can take the tornado!" Tails said as he ran over towards the back of the apartments. Shadow,Rouge,and Silver all ran after him.
-Small Town 10/7/11 9:15am-
There were G.U.N soldiers walking around the town,obviously trying to locate the culprit who had almost destroyed the town. Most of them were in the woods,nearby the town,because that would be the best place to hide. The G.U.N commander stood tall with both hands behind his back,giving orders to the other soldiers,when he heard a faint buzzing sound in the distance. He turned to see what was causing the noise but relaxed when he saw it was the tornado. Tails landed the plane a couple of feet behind the commander,then everyone jumped out of the plane and ran over to him.
"Commander,do you need any assistance?" Tails asked. "It's always a pleasure to work with heroes." He smiled. "Silver,you and Tails go help the residents of this town while me and Rouge go find Sonic." Both Silver and Tails nodded their heads before running off.
"Lets go." Shadow said as he skated towards the woods,rouge not far behind. They walked around trees,ducked under low branches,and stepped over tree roots. "Do you think we'll be able to find him?" Rouge asked as she hovered over some rocks. "I'm not sure..." Shadow said as he pushed a low branch aside. "...Hey Shadow.." Rouge started. "hmm?" He answered. "You think Knuckles would make a good husband?" She asked as she looked at her left hand,imagining a ring was on her finger. Shadow gave her a questioning look.
"Rouge,now is not the time to-" Shadow didn't get a chance to finish his sentence because there was a rustling sound coming from behind a nearby tree. After a moment, someone came from behind the tree. "Sonic!" Rouge shouted. Sonic looked over to them and flinched. "W-what are you guys doing here?" He asked. "Looking for you!" Shadow said. Everything was quiet until Sonic decided to run away from them.
"WAIT! COME BACK!" Shadow demanded as he followed after. Rouge wasn't able to follow because they both ran off in super speed.
"Uh...I'll just wait here!" Rouge shouted to them as she sat down on a rock,crossed her legs,and pouted.
"Sonic,come here!" Shadow yelled at him. Sonic completely ignored him and only focused on his running. He wasn't running because he was scared,he just didn't feel like dealing with what ever the problem was. They both continued for a while before Sonic tried to jump up into a tree. He grabbed the branch and hoisted himself up onto it.
"Dammit Sonic!" Shadow stated as he watched him climb up the tree. He then began climbing up,but with a little more speed. In no time,he was right behind Sonic. He grabbed Sonic's wrist and pushed him against the tree. "Stop trying to run away!" He yelled at him. Sonic tried to squirm away but was unsuccessful.
"Leave me alone! What ever it is,i didn't do it!" He shouted back. "Yea right,all you've been doing is causing trouble everywhere!" He said. Sonic didn't answer,only looked away. Shadow sighed,then threw Sonic over his shoulder. "HEY! What are you doing?" Sonic asked as he tried to hold back a blush that was forming on his muzzle. Good thing Shadow couldn't see it.
"Taking you back to the apartments!" He angrily answered as he jumped down off the tree. Once on the ground,he began walking back towards Rouge. "I can walk you know!" Sonic tried to wiggle away but stopped when he realized it was pointless. After a couple of minutes,which seemed like years,Shadow could see Rouge in the distance. "Come on Rouge,let's go." Shadow called to her from where he stood. She looked over to him and immediately flew over to them.
"I see you caught him." She smiled. Sonic rolled his eyes. "Can I be let down now?" "No." Shadow plainly said. "Come on,put me down!" Sonic whined. "No." "PUT ME DOWN!" "Fine." Shadow dropped Sonic on the ground. "EEP!" He said as he fell. Sonic stood up quickly and dusted himself off. "You really enjoy dropping me,don't you?" Shadow only glanced at him.
"So why are you guys here anyways?" Sonic asked. Both Rouge and Shadow looked at him in disbelief. "Come on Sonic,stop messing around! You know why we're here." Rouge said while putting her hands on her hips. Sonic scratched his head. "Um..if I knew then I wouldn't have asked you in the first place."
"FREEZE! Don't move or we'll shoot!" A mans voiced echoed through the woods. Suddenly,they were surrounded by G.U.N soldiers who were pointing their guns at them. "Hold you fire!" Shadow said. "Yea we can handle it from here!" Rouge added in. "We have strict orders to find and arrest Sonic the hedgehog!" One soldier said.
"Hold your fire men!"
Everyone turned to see the commander walk up behind them. "If they say they can handle him,then they can have him." He finished. "But sir-" "I trust Shadow and Rouge to handle this situation." He interrupted. The men nodded and lowered their weapons. They all formed a line behind the commander and stood straight. "Good day Shadow,Rouge..." The commander only made a face when it came to Sonic.
"Let's go." He said as he and the other soldiers walked back towards the town. Sonic sighed after they were out of sight. "Let's go find Tails and Silver." Rouge suggested. "Right." Shadow agreed as he grabbed Sonic's wrist. "Ow!" "Stop complaining hedgehog." Shadow merely said.
As they were walking back,all Sonic could think about was what was happening to him. He didn't do anything to anyone and everybody is blaming him for it. He was just as confused as Knuckles when it came to math. 'I don't think I'm doing anything...i can't be,otherwise I would remember it...wouldn't I?' Sonic thought to himself. "ic...onic...SONIC!"
Sonic snapped out of his trance and looked up to see Tails and Silver standing in front of him. "Sonic,we have a lot of questions for you when we get back home." Tails stated as he walked over to the tornado.
-Station Square Apartment Complex 10/7/11 10:52am-
"Sonic! What the hell are you thinking?" Sonic covered his ears because he really didn't want to hear Knuckles complaining. "Sonic,why do you keep destroying things?" Rotor asked as nicely as he could. "I already told you,I'm not destroying anything." Sonic replied. "You hurt innocent people,set a store on fire,and destroyed a town,and your just gonna sit there and lie about it?" Knuckles yelled. "But I didn't do any of those things!" He retaliated.
"Sonic there is no way we can believe you! We saw you with our own eyes." Sally added in.
Sonic was quiet for awhile before he had a thought. "Maybe it's Eggman doing this stuff!" "Sonic...Eggman is dead remember?" Blaze stated. "He has faked his death before! Maybe he's doing it again!" Sonic tried to convince them. "But we saw him actually kill himself!" Knuckles reminded. "SO! That doesn't mean anything! Let's just say he managed to survive and now he's doing bad things and blaming me!" Sonic replied.
"That's ridiculous,and until we can figure out what to do with you...Shadow is going to stay with you." Sally put her hands on her hips. Both Sonic and Shadow looked at her with wide eyes. "WHAT! WHY?" Sonic asked,a little panicky. "So he can watch you and make sure you don't try and pull another stunt! That's why!" She shouted. Sonic and Shadow looked at each other before looking away with a huff.
"Whatever...I'm going to go take a nap or something..." Sonic scoffed before walking towards his apartment. After he left,Antoine looked over to Sally. "Eh...shouldn't Shadow go and follow him?" "No,he's okay for right now...I've got Nicole scanning the area. She'll let me know if he leaves the premisses." She informed.
-Sonic's Apartment 10/7/11 2:00pm-
Sonic's eyes fluttered open as he finally woke up from his nap. He sat up,stretched,then stood up and walked into the kitchen so he could get some water. When he finished,he decided to go and see what everybody else was doing so he walked to the front door and left.
-Apartment Courtyard 10/7/11 2:05pm-
As Sonic was about to turn the corner that lead into the courtyard,he stopped and leaned against the wall. He had heard his name being said so he decided to see what they were saying. He sneaked his way over to a big tree,that was close enough for him to hear,and hid in it.
"So what do you guys think about Sonic?" Sally asked. "I think he needs help!" Charmy sang. "I feel he cannot be trusted."Espio calmly said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "But what if he's right and he's being framed?" Amy asked. "Tch..Yea right! I think he was just trying to trick us." Knuckles scoffed. "But it's still a possibility." Vector stated. "Nah! Who would frame him? I mean Eggman IS dead and he was like the biggest threat!" Knuckles continued.
"You have a good point..." Rotor said while scratching his head.
"Exactly! Besides,i always knew he was a liar and traitor." Knuckles finished.
"Hey! Don't talk about Sonic like that! He may have made a bad decision but..that doesn't mean he's a traitor!" Tails shot at Knuckles. Sonic,who was still hiding,smiled. 'At least Tails believes in me.' He thought. "Come on Tails,we want to believe in him just as much as you do but...you saw everything that he has done..." Blaze said. Tails sighed. "...I guess your right..." Sonic flinched. 'Really...even my best friend is against me...'
Sonic was hurt,not just cause of Tails but because of what everyone was saying about him. "Now I know how you all truly feel..." Sonic said,barely above a whisper. He thought he had heard enough,so he quickly jumped out of the tree,undetected,and back to his apartment.
-Sonic's Apartment 10/7/11 11:06pm-
Sonic was sitting on his couch,trying to forget about what he heard while Shadow sat across from him in a separate chair. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice Shadow staring at him. "Ahem." Sonic looked up to shadow with a blank expression. "Are you going to go to sleep or am I going to have to make you?" Shadow threatened. "Oh,um...i guess..." Sonic said as he got up to go to his room,but was stopped by a hand grabbing his wrist. "Sleep there." Shadow demanded while pointing at the couch. Sonic scoffed. "Are you kidding me?" Shadow just gave him an icy glare. Sonic rolled his eyes and went back over to the couch and laid down.
He tried to get comfortable but to no avail. He kept tossing and turning with frustration. So many thoughts were buzzing in his head. What's happening? Why me? What did I do to deserve this? Is it really me doing this? Why don't they believe me? Does Shadow like me? WOAH,WOAH,WOAH...wait...What? 'Did I just really say that in my head?' Sonic was beginning to blush without knowing.
'Of course he doesn't...He hates me,not to mention he doesn't trust me...just like everybody else.' He mentally shook his head to get rid of those thoughts.
'Ugh...I'm getting a headache. I just need some rest...that's all.' Sonic told himself as he rolled onto his side and got comfortable. About a moment later,Sonic dozed off with no problem but soon he began to have a nightmare.
Sonic was surrounded by complete darkness. He was frantically looking around,trying to find an escape. "Stop trying to find a way out." A voice echoed. "What! Who's there?" Sonic asked as he lowered himself to a fighting stance. The voice only laughed. "Hmpf...It's to late...your fate has been chosen."
Right after that sentence,all of Sonic's friends were appearing out of nowhere. Sonic looked at all of them in confusion. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked. Suddenly,they all began bleeding and falling over,one by one,in heap on the black floor. "NO! What are you doing to them?" Sonic shouted as he watched Tails fall to the ground with a thud.
"Hahaha...just walk forward and you'll see who is responsible for this." The voice rang in sonic's ear. He slowly began walking forward,trying not to look at all his friends on the ground,covered in blood.
Eventually,he could see a shadowy figure in front of him. He began running towards it. "Who are you?" Slowly,Sonic was getting closer and closer to this mysterious person. He stopped dead in his tracks when he finally saw who it was. He was looking at himself,as if he was staring at a mirror. He shook his head. "No...it can't be me...i would never-" "OH but you will!" The voice echoed. Sonic fell to his knees and held his head in his hands.
"You will be the reason for their deaths,and there is nothing you can do about it!" It laughed.
Sonic could feel tears forming in his eyes. "No...It's not true..." He mumbled. The laughter was getting louder and louder until he thought his ears were going to burst.
"NOO!" Sonic shouted as he shot up from the couch. He sat up,sweating and breathing heavily. "...Just a dream..." He whispered. He looked across from him,remembering he wasn't alone,and saw Shadow staring at him. "Are you okay?" Shadow asked,a bit worried.
Sonic nodded his head slowly. "...Y-yea...I-i have to go to the bathroom..." He said as he got up and walked over to the bathroom. He closed the door and turned the faucet on. He splashed the cold water onto his face and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly,that image of his friends falling over popped into his head and he covered his eyes with his hands.
'You will be the reason for their deaths,and there is nothing you can do about it!'
That sentence repeated itself in Sonic's head. 'No...I would never do that to them...they're my friends,I love and trust them...i couldn't just...but then again...they don't seem to trust me..." Sonic reminded himself. He sighed with frustration. ' I can't deal with this anymore...' Sonic thought. He quietly opened the door and poked his head out. He was expecting to see Shadow standing outside,due to the lack of trust,but he wasn't. Sonic took this as his opportunity.
He quickly and quietly ran to his room,grabbed a chaos emerald he had and whispered "Chaos...control.." And in a blink of an eye...he was gone.
Shadow,who was still in the living room,was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt an energy coming from Sonic's room. "That felt like...chaos energy..." Shadow quickly got up and ran to Sonic's room. When he opened the door,he gasped. "Dammit...he's gone!" Shadow walked out of the room and back into the living room. "Er...i have to go and find him before he causes more trouble." Shadow told himself as he ran to the door and left.
-Apartment gates 10/8/11 8:00am-
Shadow walked into the complex with a sigh. "I looked all night for that damn hedgehog and I couldn't find him.." Shadow grumbled. He walked into the courtyard and sat on a bench that was near by. He closed his eyes and sat in silence. "Good morning Shadow." Shadow opened his eyes and looked over to the fountain that sat in the middle of the courtyard and saw Tails sitting there with his laptop. Shadow only sighed.
"What's wrong?" Tails asked. "Sonic left last night." He replied. "WHAT!" Tails asked in shock. "He used chaos control to sneak out and I searched all night for him." Shadow informed. "Oh no,you don't think he went and did something do you?" Tails asked. Shadow only sighed and shrugged. Tails was silent for a moment before he began to quickly type on his computer. "Lets see if the news has any information!" Tails typed a few more things in before the news came on.
"I'm scarlet Garcia with some terrible news!" Both Shadow and Tails had the same thought. 'What did Sonic do this time?' They quickly went back to watching the screen."I'm afraid to inform all of you that...Sonic the hedgehog...is dead..."
OHMYGOD! I TOTALLY DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!...Oh wait...XD I hope you all liked it! Please leave reviews!
