Please don't kill me for not updating in about 3 months. My reasons are: 1) I'm not mad, but I got a question regarding Sonic's abuse last chapter. I got writer's block, but thanks to that alone, my delay payed off. I got my hands on M.K VS. D.C.U. and it gave me an idea, to be explained this and the next chapter. 2) School. That's all. 3) I got caught stealing [pie] from the insane asylium. Ironically, I ended up there when they found me spreading the filling from the [pie] I stole all over the Lego factory……OK, I don't' have a thrid reason. Anyway, this chapter will be the actual "meeting" that was mentioned last chapter. Of course, I will get back to the big fight. Enjoy and review!

Chapter 4

I Saw It In His Eyes…

The Mobians inside Tails' panic room were still in utter shock. Sonic had done the two things he would never do. He had punched Amy in the face, throwing her to the meeting table and giving her an almost broken nose, and he blew up at everybody verbally. Tails got the worst of that.

Amy was busy wiping her nose with a paper towel when Tails shakily brought up the original purpose of the small meeting.

"U-um… *Ahem*…Uh, getting back to the subject on hand, we gotta do something about Shao Kahn and his men. If they continue to stay on our planet, they will have destroyed us and taken over our planet. As of now, my only plan is to try and fight back. We can't physically fight them, though. Seeing what they're capable of, we're left with weapons."

Silver just looked at Tails with serious disdain. "Tails, if Kahn, Baraka, and Onaga have both extreme physical and magical power, weapons won't do us much good. Head-ripping, slicing into pieces, tearing in half… Guys, if there are more of these soldiers, maybe even technologically advanced soldiers, they still have the upper hand. My idea would be to train in combat. Physical combat."

Everyone stared at Silver. Knuckles was the first to speak up. "Wait, fight them with our fists? Are you fucking crazy?! That kind of training could take months!! At the rate they're going, the entire damn planet will be destroyed!!! I don't forget how to fight, but I'm rusty. Regardless, you all need a lot more training!!!"

Amy was crying silently. Hot tears that streamed down her face melded with the blood that flowed from her nose. As the others continued their heated discussion, the only thing that was going through her mind were memories of Sonic. She thought he loved her. All those fun times they had with each other. The third anniversary that they had earlier that night. She knew Sonic wouldn't hurt her in two ways. The anger, the pain, the yellow eyes….. Wait. Yellow eyes? When he slugged her, she saw his eyes were yellow, not just his pupils, but the entire eye. She couldn't tell very well, because his newly grown out front spikes darkened his face. Although, they glowed, so it almost lit up his face.

Cream was sitting down next to Amy, covering her ears at the sound of the three guys arguing back and forth about what to do and over the fact of their chances of survival. Blaze was resting her head on her arms. Rouge looked really nervous because both Shadow and Sonic were supposedly upstairs watching the horror unfold. Charmy and Espio were silently discussing what to do now that Vector was lying in half, charred and rotting, on a blood-drenched beach. Tails, Knuckles, and Silver were at the point at screaming at each other.

Knuckles was busy refraining from smashing the table when he suddenly felt a very painful throbbing in his head. "Owwww… Urrrg."

Tails was about to retaliate to something Silver said when he looked over after hearing Knuckles utter something. "Knuckles? Are you alright? You sound like you have a headache."

Silver and Tails' faces softened a bit as Knuckles grimaced and grunted in agony. Knuckles suddenly slapped his hands to head and screamed in anguish.

Amy's head shot up. "Knuckles, are you alright?!?"

The red echidna leaned his head down into his hands.

"Knux? You okay?" Amy got up and walked over cautiously.

Knuckles looked up. His eyes were literally glowing yellow. Yellow…? Knuckles gritted his teeth. "You think you can help me?!?! I DON'T NEED HELP FROM A BUNCH OF WEAKLINGS!!!!"

Amy backed away in total fear. Tails and Silver did the same.

Knuckles continued his rant. "YOU ALL WILL BE DESTROYED BY KAHN AND HIS MEN!!!! I WILL BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT BECAUSE I AM SUPERIOR!!!!!" The crazed Master Emerald guardian turned his full wrath upon Amy. "I SEE WHY SONIC HATED YOU!!!!! YOU WERE WEAK, PATHETIC, AND A LOUSY PERSON!!!!!! I WILL REMOVE THE BURDEN OF KILLING YOU FOR BOTH SONIC AND SHAO KAHN!!!!! PREPARE TO DIE, WEAKLING!!!!"

Before Knuckles could even raise his fist, Blaze got up and quickly threw a fireball at Knuckles. The echidna was thrown across the room and hit his head on the wall. He was knocked unconscious. Everyone in the room stared at Blaze.

Tails spoke up. "Blaze, you didn't have to hurt him! I mean- wait, did you…? Did you throw a… A fireball?"

Silver looked around and he got an even better idea. "Guys, we can use magic and our gadgets to fight back along with some fist fighting. We may have chance at beating Kahn and his forces. Of course, that sudden rage that Sonic and Knuckles went through could happen to any of us at any given time, but that may help if we're careful. Guys, I think we finally have a reasonable plan of action."

Everyone started nodded their heads in agreement.

Espio stood up and said, "What if they try to kill us? You know like…" Espio stopped. It was a little uncomfortable to mention the gruesomely departed.

"I believe we can help out."

The Mobians turned the person who said that. A hedgehog and a fox had entered the room. The hedgehog was green, had a lot of long, frizzy spikes, green eyes, and… Well, about him. Nitrogen was to be turned into a robot by Dr. Robotnik, but his best friend and ally, Glycerin, the other guy, came to the rescue and got Nitrogen out of the Roboticizer as it just finished his jaw. He was like Metal Sonic, only his shoulders were like cauldrons. The mechanical part was brown and dark brown. The non-jaw part of his head was still flesh. Inside his brain, Robotnik had implanted a microchip before the Roboticizing process began, enabling Nitrogen to operate his mechanical parts.

Glycerin was a red fox, had a dark red, bunched, messy Mohawk, had two, thick, low hanging bangs, had a furry chest, and preferred to be a bad-ass gun-fighter. He had a utility belt, held a holster for his SAA (cowboy pistol), miniature bags for ammo and grenades, and helped him look cool. He was well known for having fire colored eyes and having a yellow-tipped, orange tail. He and Nitrogen had been allies/best friends since they were teens. As 25-year-olds, they have been through a lotta hell.

Amy stared at Nitrogen. He and Amy were once in love with each other, but Amy had felt that emotion rekindle itself…

Nitrogen spoke first, "Guys, we have ran into a couple kombatants ourselves, two were trying to kill us, both ninjas, but the other was a kombatant who fought for the side of good. He has allies, and they may be able to help you."

Who are these friendly kombatants? What happened to Sonic and Shadow? What is this "rage" Sonic and Knuckles experienced and how did it happen (those that have played MK vs. DCU, don't give it away)? Will Amy fall in love with Nitrogen and give up Sonic, and will Nitrogen return it? Will anybody be attracted to me?!? All will be told. Thanks to those who reviewed my story and the guy that favorited this. Be patient, because I might get delayed again.
