Finally! I return with Chapter Seven!
It has been an unusually long time, for me, at least, so I'm glad I finally got something to update.
And. . . . almost all OCs that have been suggested will appear. There are a few I'll put at a later chapter, because it's how the characters will work with the story. Those readers will figure it out.
Recap: Tails describes the cell Cream and him are being held hostage in. Amy is upset about Sonic going off again. She finds out the others have taken her earpiece for whatever reason, and Sonic says something. . . interesting. . . .
Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides the plot, all teachers (except for one), and my OC, Alpha.
I will tell you who each OC belongs to at the end of the chapter. And by the way, I am mostly using the appearance and personality of each OC, not necessarily the background, if that's okay. . . . it just. . . I dunno. . . doesn't work with my story.
Whatever. Introducing, Chapter 7!
(Shadow's POV)
Already, we were coming up on the seaside. Angel Island was in sight. Sonic and I were basically running across the rooftops. Silver was just flying.
"So, Sonic, do you think Amy's taking this too well?" Silver asked. I thought not. Apparently, Sonic agreed.
"Truthfully, no," he replied, "She's probably upset. . . ."
"No way," I said sarcastically. Sonic gave me a two second glare. I rolled my eyes. "Why would she not be upset? Her little blue hero has run off again." Silver laughed a bit, then immediately stopped at Sonic's angered expression.
"Don't talk about Amy like that." He growled.
I dodged a circuit box. I saw this as a chance to make Sonic mad. This could possibly help. At this point, I was definitely thinking about switching sides. . . . but I wasn't quite sure. I still wanted to have a little fun with Sonic, though.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I responded, "I didn't mean to insult a pink psychopath fangirl."
Sonic stayed silent. I raised my eyebrows, anticipating a response. Silver looked a bit nervous.
"No. . . .just. . . no. . . ." His face showed complete anger and frustration. I could tell he was trying hard not to lash out at me. "She's. . . she's n-not. . . like th-that. . . ." He then jumped off the side of a building, and, in a split-second, tore down the street with a huge sonic boom. I skidded to a stop. Silver slowed and landed beside me.
"I think you went too far." Silver said. I raised my eyebrows.
"I was just messing around." I replied. Silver looked uneasy.
"Yeah. . . I know. But, I think Sonic's come to have much stronger emotions for Amy." He said.
I thought for a second. What did I just do? I should've known Sonic would have a bigger reaction towards what I said. Now, because of me, we lost an important member of our team. I shook that thought from my head. What am I thinking? I could do this by myself if I wanted to.
"Let's go," I said. I got into a running stance, ready to take off, but Silver grabbed my shoulder.
"We need to find him." He told me. I turned around.
"Why? We're capable of doing this ourselves." I responded.
"It's just. . . now, Sonic is emotionally. . . I dunno. . . weak. He's vulnerable to any attack Eggman or some other person could throw at him. He could get seriously injured." He said.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Alright, fine. We'll look for him. But there's about a million places to look. We'll be at a major setback in our mission if we do search." I said. "And we'll be putting Tails and Cream's safety at risk."
"It doesn't matter. Right now, this is more important." Silver said.
With the determined expression on his face, he looked as if he really cared about Sonic's safety. I decided that he was right. With his reasoning, I actually felt like I wanted to find Sonic. Man, Silver's got skill. Seriously.
"Let's go." Silver said and jumped off the building. I followed. This was going to take a while.
(Blaze's POV)
Believe it or not, I felt sort of bad that we stole Amy's earpiece. We took the one thing that would give her long term assurance that Sonic was okay.
We still chased after her. We didn't want anything to happen that could lead Amy to getting. . . . out of hand. She kept running and running, and the way her head was positioned, she was obviously talking to Sonic. Just about when we were going to give up, Amy stopped abruptly. We started to slow down. I looked at the others. They seemed about as confused as I was. I glanced at Amy. She had dropped the earpiece. That made me nervous.
"Amy?" Rouge called.
"Amy?" I repeated.
She seemed frozen with shock. I seriously wondered what Sonic could've said.
"Amy!" Knuckles shouted. He grabbed her roughly and spun her around. For a split-second, a wide-eyed and surprised expression was plastered on her face. Then, as Knuckles repeated her name, she blinked and shook her head. She mumbled something unreadable, to sharp withdrawal from Knuckles, and ran off.
"What did she say?" I asked.
"She's going to find him," He replied grimly.
"No." I lunged to run after her, but Rouge grabbed my hand.
"We can't run after her now. Knowing Sonic, he'll find her." She said.
"But what if he takes too long? What if she gets robbed? Or kidnapped?" I retorted, and charged after her.
"Blaze!" They repeatedly called. I ignored them. I had to find Amy before it was too late.
(Sonic's POV)
I shoved my earpiece back in my pocket. I couldn't think about Amy right now. It was getting dark, and I swear I heard unsettling voices around the corner. It was just hard to keep the thoughts of her out of my mind.
I jumped onto the dumpster behind me, hopped onto a higher windowsill, and soared onto the building's top. Just out of curiosity, I peeked my head off the side of the building and looked down upon the strangers below. Or at least I thought they were strangers.
I almost fell off the building. Down there was my entire gang. . . .
. . . .which included: Alpha, the reddish-orange fox, Blake, a green newt who we usually called Blink, RJ, a brown pug, and Destroyer, a dark red hedgehog.
I let out a small cry of horror and surprise. And due to Destroyer's advanced hearing, he stopped abruptly. I quickly stepped back from my perch a bit, but still spied on them from a slightly worse view.
"What're you doing?" Alpha, the "leader-when-I-wasn't-around", demanded. Destroyer held up a finger.
"Wait. I heard something." He stood in a defensive position, just in case Alpha lost his temper, and closed his eyes. It helped him concentrate.
"C'mon, let's go." Blink said. "He's just being paranoid." He started to walk again, and RJ followed. Alpha waited an extra second, then ran to catch up to the other two. Destroyer shook his head and jogged after them.
I was utterly confused. Why was my gang walking around the city right now? And in this uninhabited, desolate part of the city? This is where the criminals, emos, and hobos hung out. They were certainly none of the three. I hopped across the rooftops silently, following them. They didn't speak much, but occasionally walked inside a building, came out in the next five minutes, and muttered, "Nothing." This went on for about two hours. I seriously wondered what was happening. Finally, after what seemed like the fiftieth building, I decided to talk to them.
As I climbed down the building they were currently in, I shook madly. That little voice in the back of my mind kept screaming, "Don't do this, don't do this, this is stupid, this is stupid," but I continued on.
With a small thump, I landed on the hard concrete. I glanced around the corner to see the four coming this way. My heart beating faster, I put a surprised look on my face and walked out from my hiding place.
"Hey guys! Didn't expect to see you here!" I waved and jogged over to them. With their sort of reaction, I had to clench my jaw to keep from going psycho on them. Naturally, RJ was the first to regain his cool.
"Sonic! Buddy!" He slapped me on the back and put his arm around me. There was a small moment of awkwardness, with RJ all smiley and the others with shocked expressions. RJ gave them the signal he had it under control. "Guys? Aren't you gonna say hi?" I bit my lip. Blink put his glasses into place.
"Um. . . . yes, sorry." He waved awkwardly.
Alpha narrowed his eyes a bit. Destroyer glanced at him, and got the message. This was gonna get rough.
"What're you doing 'round these parts, Sonic?" He asked me slyly. I shook RJ's hand off and got up in Alpha's face.
"What're you doing 'round—"
Destroyer acted so fast, even I couldn't react. He lunged, yanked my arms behind my back and slapped a hand over my mouth. I grunted and squirmed, but it was no use.
"Let's take 'im to the hole, guys." Alpha grinned. RJ helped Destroyer carry me as they started to walk.
With RJ on the right and Destroyer on the left, I knew I couldn't escape so easily. I just wondered where they were taking me. It was practically pitch black, and I didn't know this place so well, so I definitely had no idea where we were. We had been walking for an hour when I saw something interesting.
We had just turned onto a corner with a working streetlight, because we were closer to the busy part of the city. I had just been glancing around when I noticed a little device on Blink's wrist. Looking around, I saw they all had it. I knitted my eyebrows. I looked more closely at RJ's. There seemed to be a weird symbol on it. Realization hit me straight in the back of the head. I suddenly felt adrenaline in my veins.
I jumped out from Destroyer and RJ's grasp.
"You're working for Eggman! You're the spies!" I squealed, then sped off.
As I was running, I suddenly realized how much I had told them. All my secrets. I always thought RJ's prying questions were annoying, but now I knew why he asked. They were planning this the whole time. I could only imagine what they'd do to the others still at school. Especially Amy. Amy. . . . . . .
I can't believe I told her that on the earpiece. She deserved to hear it in person. She probably had come looking for me. But I needed to rescue Tails and Cream. They didn't deserve to be captured. But, since I left, Shadow, or at least Silver, would be looking for me. And now since I escaped from my "friends," they could be coming to look for me. I didn't know what to do.
But then, I heard a voice that could've been my salvation, or my defeat.
"Sonic!"
(Amy's POV)
I knew it was a bad idea right when I started to run.
But Sonic had said it. I think. I needed to find him. But he could be anywhere. My thoughts went on and on like this as I ran around the city.
It was extremely dark, pitch black, in fact, when I was about to give up. I convinced myself that I looked everywhere. As I started home, I heard a voice behind me.
"Hello, Amy."
Two hands grabbed my shoulders and yanked me into an alleyway. I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping someone would hear me, but this was the empty part of town. Where the criminals hung out.
"What—NO! Who are you!?" I squirmed around.
I was shoved into a chair. As I was spun around slowly, I saw light in the corner of my eyes. And a familiar face.
"Alpha." I muttered.
"I see you've been looking for Sonic. Too bad, so sad. He just ran away." He was so close, I could smell his sour breath.
"You saw him? Where'd he go?" I struggled some more, but hands were holding me back. The other three snickered.
"Why should I tell you?" Alpha sneered.
I knitted my eyebrows, but gave no response. RJ pushed past Alpha and walked up to me.
"More importantly, why are you hanging around here this late? Lost?" He asked.
I didn't answer, but closed my eyes and turned my head to the side, signaling I wasn't gonna talk. I learned that lovely move from a certain black hedgehog.
"Alright, c'mon. Are you gonna talk, or not?" Blink asked.
"I knew it. She's obviously too full of herself to respond." Alpha mocked.
"Sonic's stupid cocky attitude probably rubbed off on her." PJ snickered.
That was the last straw. I hated everyone who was anyone who insulted my Sonic. I charged out of Blink and Destroyer's grasp.
"YOU BETTER STOP MAKING FUN OF MY SONIC AND LET ME GO, OR I'M GETTING MY HAMMER AND GIVING YOU A BEATING!"
I didn't expect them to get so scared, shows what wimps they are. Or so I thought. They all regained their composure at the same time. Dang it.
Alpha came up to me, the others behind. He got right up to me, with a furious expression on his face.
"Alright, we'll let you go. On one condition. . . ." Darn it. The ol' blackmail. "You go back to the little school, and keep quiet. Don't say anything. Nothin' 'bout us, or Sonic. Got it?"
Now I felt a little scared. He seemed pretty mad. I gulped and nodded.
"Okay then. Toss her out."
Destroyer grabbed me and threw me out into the open. Relieved, I ran straight home, and didn't look back. Questions swept through my mind, but I knew one thing.
Those guys were the spies, no doubt.
(Cream's POV)
Being in that cell was the worst. I could list off a million things I hated, but there was one good thing.
I was alone with Tails.
When I woke up, there was a sharp pain in my head. It felt like a bruise mixed with being pierced with a sharp object. I put my hand up to my forehead. Dry blood. I knew it.
I looked around. There was Tails, sleeping. I could tell he wasn't knocked out because of his position. I probably shouldn't say this. . . . . he was sucking on his thumb. Cute!
I decided to just go back to sleep, knowing I was gonna be here for a while, when Tails awoke with a start. I smiled.
"Hey sleepyhead." I said. He looked around, then smiled. I loved his smile.
"Hey Cream." He responded. "Are you okay? You know, your head?" He gestured to the wound on my forehead. I nodded.
"I'm fine. It hurts a little, thought." That was a complete understatement. I tried to hide it, though.
We sat there for a bit, talking about different things. We had both been in this situation before. We tried to make it the least bit entertaining.
Eggman gave us some food. Sort of. It was just buttered bread and some stale Cheez-its. Not really nutritious, nor delicious. We laughed about that.
I loved sitting there, talking endlessly with Tails. He's so sensitive, smart and funny. He's cute, too. And that's why I like him. I just wasn't sure he liked me back. He always seemed so grieving when Cosmo left. And I always wondered if he still had a thing for her. I seriously wondered whether I should bring it up. But my curiosity was getting the best of me.
"Tails, do you still miss Cosmo?" I asked. He frowned a bit, then smiled.
"Not a day goes by when I don't think about her." He replied. Not a good start. "But we were just friends—" That was better. "—and nothing more. She was great and all, but. . . ." He smiled even bigger. "I like you better."
I almost fainted. He liked me back. Miles "Tails" Prower, my crush for three whole years, liked me back. I grinned from ear to ear.
"Same with me," I responded, making him smile even more, if possible. What ruined the moment was the fact that we were chained to the wall. Trapped in a windowless cell. By Eggman.
I wondered when Sonic would come. I could tell Tails did too.
When.
And that, my friends, is the seventh chapter of Chaos High.
