-Midnight P.O.V.-

I woke up to see it was night. I sighed as I got up. I don't remember falling asleep, but I did. I sigh as I started walking. I don't know what I will do now. It hurts so much that I lost Manic, but I have to stay strong. I have done this before. I looked around and sighed. A small town isn't far from here. Hidden in the forest. I can't remember its name, but I know someone that lives there. I then stop, hearing footsteps. Quickly I climbed up a tree and sighed. Then a group of SWATbots walked pass. It counted ten.

"Robotnik." I whispered.

Once the SWATbots were gone, I jumped down and headed the way they were going. It wasn't long till I found a small base. I chuckled. This is what I need to keep me distracted. I ran in and looked around to make sure no one was captured. I found my way to the cells and looked around. I then stop, seeing a lion. I walked to the front of his cell and he looked at me shock as he walked to the front. I smiled.

"Hi, my name is Midnight. What's yours?" I asked.

"Cyrus." he replied. "Can you help me?" Cyrus asked.

I nodded.

"Don't worry, just take a few steps back." I told him as I grabbed a sword.

He walked back and I turned my sword on, cutting the bars, leaving a hole. I turned it off as Cyrus climbed out.

"Wow, that was cool." Cyrus said.

"Come on, we have to move." I told him and we headed off.

We made it out and kept running to make sure we got far away. After a while, we stop to catch our breath.

"Man, I am so lucky you came along." Cyrus said.

I sighed.

"Where do you live?" I asked.

"Robotropolis." Cyrus replied.

"I see." I said. "We should get going. It dark and it is a long walk back." I explained.

"Wait, you're going to help me get back home." Cyrus said shock.

"Well yeah. We don't want Robotnik getting you again, now do we?" I asked.

Cyrus nodded.

"No, thanks." Cyrus said.

"Anytime." I said.

We started walking. It was going to be a long walk. Cyrus was walking next to me. I wonder if he is the same Cyrus that Manic told me about.

-Cyrus P.O.V.-

I don't believe it. Who is this woman? She came from nowhere, breaks me out of Robotnik's base and now is taking me to Robotropolis. We didn't talk. I didn't know what to say to her. I mean, I just met her. I was so curious on who she is and where she came from. I sighed. I have to say something.

"Hey Midnight." I said.

Midnight looked at me.

"Yeah." Midnight whispered.

"What is your last name? if you don't mind me asking." I asked nervously.

"My last name is Rose." Midnight told me.

"Rose." I whispered. "Where did you get those swords from? I have never seen them before?" I asked.

"So we are playing 21 question are we." Midnight said.

I looked at her worried.

"I'm sorry, if you don't want to answer it." I said.

Midnight giggled.

"It's okay." Midnight told me. "The swords, I made them myself." Midnight explained.

I looked at her shock.

"You… you made them." I said shock.

Midnight nodded.

"You must have a IQ of 100." I said,

"Actuary, 300." Midnight whispered.

"300, doesn't Robotnik has an IQ of 300." I said.

"Yeah, but I am a lot smarter than him." Midnight told me.

I sighed.

"Now I have some questions for you." Midnight said.

"Go ahead." I told her.

"How the hell did Robotnik get you?" Midnight asked.

I sighed.

"Well I was going for a walk to get some air and to clear my thoughts. I have a lot on my mind lately. Then, out of nowhere, ten SWATbots attacked me. I tried to run, but I was grabbed and taken to the base where you found me." I explained.

Midnight sighed.

"You really saved my life. My friends wouldn't have found out any time soon. I thought I was doomed." I admitted.

"It's okay now." Midnight told me.

I nodded.

"Yeah, thanks." Cyrus said.

"So… when did they get you?" Midnight asked.

"A while ago, days blurred together." I replied.

"I see." Midnight said.

We made it to Robotropolis and Midnight sighed.

"You should be safe now." Midnight said.

I nodded.

"You take care Cyrus." Midnight told me.

"I will, you too." I said and Midnight walked off.

Midnight Rose. I smiled as I headed back. Sonic and Sonia would be worried if they come back and I'm no there. I just hope this Midnight stays safe out there. I still have to repay her. I owe her my life.

-Sonic P.O.V-

When we got back to Robotropolis it was night. We stop to take care a factory. Well Sonia and I did. Manic was still upset over Midnight. I don't know how long he will be like this for. I got up and walked back to see Manic asleep. Sonia sighed as she walked out and I took a deep breath. I walked out as Sonia walked back. Something was wrong.

"What is it Sonia?" I asked worried.

"I… I can't find Cyrus. He must be out." Sonia replied.

I looked at her worried. It's rare that Cyrus goes out. I'm worried. Then Cyrus walked in and I sighed with relief.

"Hey guys." Cyrus greeted. "How have you two been?" Cyrus asked.

Sonia smiled.

"Great." Sonia replied.

"We found him." I said.

Cyrus looked at me confused.

"Who?" Cyrus asked.

"Manic." Sonia replied with joy in her voice.

Cyrus smiled.

"No way, that is great news." Cyrus said, full of joy.

"Where were you?" I asked worried.

Cyrus sighed.

"Right, that's a long story." Cyrus replied.

Then Manic walked out, yawning.

"Hey Manic." Cyrus greeted as Manic walked next to him.

"Oh hey Cyrus. It's been a while." Manic said smiling.

"Your telling me. Been worried about you." Cyrus told him.

Manic sighed.

"Sorry about that." Manic said, then looked at me. "How long was I out for?" Manic asked.

"We don't know, awhile." Sonia replied.

"We didn't keep track." I added.

Manic sighed.

"Oh, okay." Manic said.

"What's wrong Manic?" Cyrus asked worried.

"Don't worry about Midnight. She's strong. She can look after herself, you know that." I told him.

"Midnight Rose?" Cyrus asked.

Manic looked at him shock.

"Yeah, do you know her?" Manic asked.

"No, I just met her." Cyrus replied. "I was grabbed by Robotnik. I don't know how long ago. She saved me. She came from nowhere. The place isn't that far, west from here. It is only small." Cyrus explained.

Manic smiled.

"That's Midnight." Manic said.

"I'm glad you are safe." Sonia said.

"Yeah, damnit Cyrus. You should be more careful." I told him.

Cyrus sighed.

"I know." Cyrus whispered.

"Come on Sonia, we better take that place down. It's too close for my likings." I told Sonia who nodded.

We got into the van and headed off, leaving Manic in Cyrus' care.

-Manic P.O.V.-

Cyrus met Midnight, my love. Oh how I miss her so much. Listen to me, I sound like a love sick puppy. I look at Cyrus who was scanning me.

"You have changed a lot Manic." Cyrus said.

"Well I have spent the last three years traveling with Midnight." I told him.

"So you know Midnight." Cyrus said.

I nodded.

"Three years ago, Robotnik had me. I was heading the one-way trip to the roboticizer. Then I heard her yell. Stop right there. The next thing I knew I was on the ground and she was standing there. She saved me. She understands me. For years, it was just us. Taking down Robotnik's base and finding out what happened to Midnight's dad. Turned out he was roboticize, but the base was destroyed. He was gone. We kept going, trying to find my mother. Last year though, I asked her out. She said yes. We… she means so much to me." I explained to Cyrus who looked at me shock.

"Wow, that's some story Manic. I'm sorry." Cyrus said.

"It's not your fault. I will find her again." I told him and smiled. "She's the one Cyrus, I know it." I said.

"You mean the one you want to spent the rest of your life with." Cyrus said and smiled.

"Yeah, I can feel it." I said, placing my hand over my heart. "She understand me, truly understands me and I understand her." I told him.

"Trust your feeling. In times like these, with Robotnik hunting us down, it is hard to find love. I mean we aren't kids anymore." Cyrus explained.

I nodded. We weren't. I was almost 20. I smiled.

"Find her Manic." Cyrus told me.

"I will, the first chance I get. I will find her." I told him.

Cyrus smiled.

"I'm going to wait for Sonia and Sonic. Talk to you later." I said walking off.

I waited near the entrances and saw some creates. I walked over and sits on them. There were nine on the bottom and three stacked on the back three. I took my sword off and bag off, then laid down. All I could think about was Midnight. I will find her again.
