Sonic struggled desperately as he glared at the hedgehog in front of him,"Never!"He spat in anger.
The male watched him and sighed softly, "Sonic are you stupid? I can kill you right here and now...and yet you try to act tough..."He spoke in a calm way, which was a little unnerving.
Sonic growled and glared at him, his ears flattened back. The male watched him with predator like eyes and smirked, "Is it to protect something? or what? come on 'hero' tell us...tell the world..."He threw back his hands and twirled in a half circle, "Come on! "He shouted like a crazed loon.
Sonic watched him with a look of pity, "You're mad..."He mumbled softly, only to be slammed up to the tree more, "No my friend...you are the one who is mad."He grinned, forcing something into Sonic's mouth. He gagged and tried to spit it out, but the male hedgehog was a step ahead. He placed a hand over his nose and mouth, allowing no air to get it. Once Sonic's air ran out he thrashed about, trying to get fresh air to his lungs. He swallowed it and panted softly,"Y-you...what d-did..."The world spun in endless as he heard a faint chuckle, "Soon Sonic...soon.."
"Soni..."
"SONIC..."
Was that Shadow? The blue blur looked up, to see the robot and the other hedgehog gone. Shadow ran up to the faker with a slightly alarmed expression,"Hey you alright?"He asked, glancing at him, "What happened to you?"
Wincing the blue blur tried to speak, but no sound came out. He cleared his throat and tried again. Again nothing came out from his mouth. Sonic gave up in absolute frustration.
Shadow watched him with perplexed eyes. He helped the blue hedgehog up and looked at him," Come on...let's get you inside..."He mumbled slightly, half dragging him along. Sonic didn't argue at all, he couldn't feel his legs at all. What had that bastard done to him?
Both speedsters made in to the living room. Their friends started to bombard them with questions.
Is sonic okay?
Oh my Mister Sonic!
What happened?
Is there a new enemy?
Sonnikku!
Shadow shot them all a death glare, "Will you all be quiet! "He growled out lowly. They backed away quickly, mumbling quiet apologies.
Sonic looked at them with a small smile, "Don't worry about me guys...I'm fine..." He thought to himself.
Shadow looked at him and sighed quietly," We need to let Sonic get his rest...in the mean time Miles I want you to find out what you can..."Shadow commanded, glancing at the yellow fox, only using his real name as to indicate the dire situation they were facing.
Tails nodded," Yeah..."He ran off to his lab ,Cream and her chao cheese following to help him. Knuckles and Rouge stood up and both went to the master emerald, hoping to seek it's help. Shadow nodded slightly and stood up. Turning slightly he wen to his motorcycle, starting it up and speeding off to G.U.N. HQ.
Amy watched her friends go and sighed. Glancing at her hero she sat beside him," Oh Sonic who did this to you?" She mumbled, glancing at his wounds. Picking up a blanket she laid it over him, being careful not to hurt him.
The gray hedgehog watched with a sneer," Soon Sonic even your friends will learn what you have..."His ears perked up as he heard a small portal shimmer to life in the air. Turning around he dropped to his knees and bowed his head while placing a hand over his heart," My lady..."He greeted the woman that stepped out of the portal.
She was a small fox child,her fur was as black as night,while her eyes shone as blue as the purest of skies. Said eyes glared down at him with malice. It took all his will power not to flinch in her presence. The hedgehog knew better than to upset the girl,for she was a dangerous one.
Her eyes softened as she flicked her wrist upward,motioning him to stand." Gradox...has the plan fallen into motion?"She questioned him,with a slight raise of the eyebrow.
Gradox stood,his excitement and glee barely being contained,"Yes mistress all is well...soon the seed will sprout and discord and madness will rain!"He crackled with laughter,stopping quickly when she shot him annoyed glare.
The fox girl walked past him and glanced down at the house with a grin,"Soon Sonic Heroes...very soon you shall see just what lies in the darkness..."She mumbled to herself.
"Gradox..."
"Yes my lady? what may I do to assist you?"
She pointed down to Amy,"That girl...I want her gone..."
He frowned softly at the command,what was with the girl that irked his mistress. Nodding anyway he bowed again,"Considerate it done my lady..."He replied,earning a smile from her.
"Good...if Sonic was to meet with her than she may as well unravel our plans."She explained in disdain.
Turning around again she looked him in the eyes,they bore into his soul,"I don't want any failure...you know what shall happen if such a action were to happen correct?"She implied,grinning with satisfaction when he nodded and shied away.
Nodding to herself she raised her hand,shadows pulled and shifted. The wind picked up as well as her portal formed,"I will be going, but I shall also be watching..."She said with a final farewell and stepped into the portal,being whisked away to god knows where.
"Wait a minute...how do you know this conversation happened? I thought you went to the G.U.N. HQ? Also why don't I remember any of this?"Amy asked,interrupting Shadow in mid story.
The male took a deep breath,trying with all Chaos control not to snap at the poor girl. He sat back with a crossing his hands over his chest motion. Seeing this the pinkette flinched and sagged in her seat,"Sorry Shadow..."She mumbled,training her eyes on the leftover hot coco, which had been untouched for a while.
He closed his eyes then took a deep breath,breathing out from his nose. Opening his eyes he looked at her with a settling calm,
Rose I am the Ultimate-life form...I sent a chaos copy of myself to keep an eye on Sonic...he or I happened to be listening and watching silently...then my copy retold me when we joined back up."He paused and took a sip of his coffee,"As for this whole not remember situation I have the slightest clue..."He muttered,a darkened look settled him as he tried to conjure up any ideas.
Blowing her quills out of her face she looked at him,"Well what next?" Amy quizzed, wanting him to finish.
"Well to shorten this...you disappeared...we looked everywhere but couldn't find you..."Shadow looked away from her as his eyes narrowed.
"Shadow..."
"That so called seed took control of him...he...he killed everyone...I managed to get away but by the time I was so weak I thought I might die...almost..
He coughed slightly,"Eggman took me in...he helped me get better..." Again he was interrupted.
"WHAT? WHY WOULD EGGMAN HELP?"Amy near bellowed.
Shadow's ears unpinned themselves from his scalp as he glared her down. She blushed and sat back into the seat,wanting to get away from the look. Amy also noticed the few stares they got from the people inside the barely working cafe.
"S-Sorry..."She said moments later,rubbing her head bashfully.
Shadow sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose,"Anyway if I may finish..."He shot her a look,telling her he would not be to kind the next time she spoke out. Noticing her silence he took it as a sign to advance.
"He tended to my wounds,mumbling something about how there wouldn't be a world to conquer if Sonic was still around. I faced Sonic on my own...being defeated every time..."He clenched a fist at the rage that built in him. Sighing he relaxed," I found you passed out a few days ago...a two days before you woke up..."He smiled softly,"I missed you Rose...I really did..."His words made her cheeks flush,"Oh Shadow stop that..."She mumbled,getting uncomfortable.
"Sorry...Well to finish I think you are from a different dimension...our Amy is there and you are here...you see,A dimension can't seem to function when someone goes missing without a reason. It takes the exact person from a different dimension to right this wrong if you will..."He looked at her and spoke as serious as the hedgehog would ever be.
"You need to rescue Sonic...and the Amy of this world...or the universe will collapse." Amy gulped at that tall order to fill.
"How hard can it be? Come on let's go!"The pinkette stood,face and mind filled with a renewed determination.
She would save this world...save Sonic...and get home. What a piece of cake! right?
