Back from the underground
Chapter 8 – A threat in the distance
"I've always kept it with me."
Manic pulled a small box out from his bag. He clicked it open. Inside, Sonic's medallion glistened, reflecting the warm beach sunlight.
"Now I can return it to its rightful owner." Manic smiled and handed the box to Sonic.
Speechless, Sonic gently lifted the medallion from its case. It felt warm, and he could feel its powers connecting with him once again. He put it around his neck.
"It feels good to be wearing this again."
Cream and Amy were still in tears from the sibling's stories, but felt a warmness inside at the sight of the moment. The group began to exchange conversations with each other, and got back to their day on the beach. Tails gave Manic a tour of the Tornado, while Amy watched Sonic play his guitar.
Sonia took Knuckles to a quiet area of the beach.
"I've really missed you Knuckles," she said, "I don't think you realised it back then just how much you mean to me…"
Knuckles was silent, listening to every word.
"I knew Angel Island had gone…I considered trying to track it down once, but I guess that's easier said than done."
From a distance, Cream watched Knuckles and Sonia with Cheese. She was too far away to hear what they were saying, but she had an idea of what was going on.
"When she looks at Knuckles, her eyes light up the same way as Amy's do when she looks at sonic." She said to Cheese.
"…I mean, it would be hard right?" Sonia continued, "It would be like…Searching the skies of the whole of Mobius-"
"Sonia…" Knuckles interrupted, he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug, "I've missed you too."
Sector 7 was in a wreck. Walls were crumbled and the smashed remains of robots littered the floor. Eggman had lost his prisoner, yet he still smiled broadly.
"Let them celebrate…For now."
He looked at his great robot. An all powerful machine, with which he was positive he couldn't fail. Indestructible armour, advanced weaponry, advanced levels of AI…
Not to mention its source of power: The legendary seven chaos emeralds.
"Enjoy it while you can Sonic, because your end is near. I'll crush you. You, and your precious siblings…"
(I'm so so so so so sorry! Not updated in so so so so so long (Due to having no compter at home, relying on college computers, plus I've been working on my other Sonic fanfic 'The Big Switch'), and then all I present you with is this shambles of a bridging chapter! Sorry...... Picture up as normal, I'll do my best to make the next chapter better)
