ALRIGHT, ANOTHER CHAPTER. This one involves Big Brother Mephiles to the rescue! (...Sonic helped)


Where's My Brother?

Normal P.O.V

Sonic was running. It is what he does best. But he was running for a completely idiotic and ridiculous reason. Shadow is a freak. Boyfriends are suppose to tell their partners nearly everything. Did Shadow not trust him with this bit of information of his past? Sonic was stupid. He had ignored everybody's call of Shadow being a nerd or freakish, but this just snapped in Sonic. It wasn't like him. He wanted to accept everybody, yet Shadow was- is different. Sonic felt, betrayed, or as he calls it. Shadow knew Sonic could've kept the secret, not letting anyone know this personal information. Sonic stopped abruptly at his home. Nobody seemed to be home, so he unlocked his door and went straight in.

Of course, his mom was there. She gave him a confused look when he walked in, raising her head from her book. "Aren't you suppose to be in school mister?" Aleena got a sudden fear that her good son (she loves Manik, but let's face it, he's quiet reckless) was skipping school for the first time in his life. Was he already at that age for this? Sonic must've saw her distressful and disappointed look because he shook his head, whisking her away her fears.

"No... someone- someone made the chemistry lab explode and we got out early," Sonic lied. He really hated lying, but he couldn't face to tell his mom about Shadow. The name sounded so venomous to Sonic, he shuddered. No, he wasn't like this, he loved Shadow with all his heart. That name is a gift, a treasure, but now the hedgehog was just throwing it away like it meant nothing. Aleena seemed to accept the lie because she shrugged - but hesitantly - and continued reading her story. Sonic had to suppress his sigh so she wouldn't get suspicious once more and bounded up the steps towards his room.

It was nothing much, posters around the room since he finally didn't have to share his room with his triplet siblings. A tv was stored to the side and his ivory bed made the small room habitual. Sighing deeply, he dropped his backpack and threw himself onto the bed. This was absolutely fucking ridiculous. Sonic was being a complete jerk. Shadow is still a mobian, man made machine or not, his boyfriend still had feelings and a heart and Sonic was just being silly. He breathed out as he made his final conclusion to apologize to Shadow. Sonic at least hoped Shadow would still take him back.

And of course Shadow doesn't show up at school the next day. Nobody seemed to notice, except Rouge, who held a disgruntled face when her best friend didn't show up at the bus stop. Rouge looked over towards him in History to make sure Shadow just caught a ride with Sonic, but deflated when his normal seat next to Sonic was empty. The hedgehog shrugged. Maybe Shadow was sick? Maybe his brother needed something? He did not know, but he hoped Shadow returned the next day.

He didn't. That's when Sonic began to sweat nervously. Rouge shot glares at him indicating she was saying, 'What the hell did you do to my best friend?' His indications were confirmed when he was pushed up against his locker with a fuming female bat glaring up at him. "Where the hell is Shadow?" She questioned with a pointed glare printed on her face. Sonic gulped. The she-bat looked truly scary with that plastered look, since her face was usually hidden against make-up.

"I-I don't know," he stammered.

"Bull. You were with him last," Rouge accused. Her hands stood on her hips before crossing over her breasted chest with full sass.

"So? I said I don't know, so I don't know," Sonic shot down at her. Rouge looked startled at the pressed words, but regained her posture. She growled a bit, before whipping her head and walking away, of course, not without her white quills slapping his face. Um, ow? He scrunched his nose like he smelled something bad, and gathered his stuff and headed towards his next class.

While taking a test, Sonic rapidly tapped on his desk with his pencil, deeply concentrating when something caught the corner of his eye. He looked around to see if anyone else saw, but they were all too focused on their tests. Sonic shook his head and glanced out the window. Someone in an army suit with words imprinted "G.U.N" was staring straight into the classroom, right at him. Sudden fear swallowed Sonic's being and he raised his hand quickly, "May I use the bathroom?"

The teacher stared at him before nodding slowly. Sonic quickly scrambled out of his seat, taking a peek to see if the officer was still there. He was, and it creeped the hell out of Sonic. He quickly ran down the hall towards the bathroom and sighed against the wall. He underestimated Shadow. He left him, and now Shadow was in trouble and now Sonic was going to be missing also from the likes of that person. When he walked backed to his classroom, the teacher smiled up at him.

"They need you in the office," she stated. Sonic paled a bit, before whirling on his heel back towards the office. Sonic very much hoped it was his mother, or his siblings did something stupid and they just needed him to calm them down. Just please not G.U.N. Sonic was too young to die! What he didn't expect was an angry Mephiles with his arms crossed standing near the door. The office lady gave Sonic a polite smile, and continued her work while Mephiles pushed (not where the lady could see) Sonic out of the door with a mighty grip.

"Easy on the shirt dude," Sonic complained as he smoothed out his shirt where Mephiles' hand had put wrinkles on it. They walked towards Mephiles' car before Mephiles turned on him.

"Where's Shadow." It didn't come out as a question, more of a statement, a demand. Sonic narrowed his eyes. Yes he was with Shadow last, but that doesn't mean he did anything to his boyfriend. Always suspected the boyfriend without any real knowledge of what happened.

"I don't know," said Sonic, holding his ground. The cobalt hedgehog tried intimidating Shadow's older brother, but his grey muzzle, pointed glare, and straight line lips showed he wasn't intimidated at all or that he wasn't going to deal with Sonic's bullshit today.

"I said, where's Shadow." Mephiles pressed, getting into Sonic's personal space now. Sonic's eyes widen, but he didn't step back.

"And I told you, I don't know," Sonic tried to explain.

"You were with him last."

"Not really," Mephiles' face shared a confused look.

"What?" He asked dryly with force. Sonic could've swore he was fear and concern in the older's facial expression, but it was covered by the wrath of annoyance and anger.

"This girl, Maria, came by to pick us up... and... I left him behind because he was a freak. Are you a freak too? Were you born in a lab in space?" Sonic narrowed his eyes in suspicion, but only got widen eyes of worry.

"You what." Mephiles growled, but there was tint of worry added to the growl. Sonic held his hands up defensively, back up until he was parched on the car. "Do you have any idea what you've done?! Shadow could now be used for his original purpose!"

"Wait, so you guys don't have a mom and dad who died in a car crash?" Sonic asked, scrunching his nose as if he smelled something bad. Sonic always knew Shadow's parents died in a car accident, but if he was created in a lab...

"We do, you asshole. They used their DNA to create me and Shadow, but ended up getting attached and raising us as their own. Now thanks to you, Shadow may be the reason the whole world will go to hell, Mobius and Earth!" Mephiles screeched. Sonic winced at the backstory and suddenly felt like a complete douchebag.

"Sorry..."

"I have no time for your apologizes Hedgehog, right now we have to save Shadow," Mephiles starts fiddling with his keys and rounded towards the drivers seat. Sonic flailed a bit in exasperation.

"Wait! But isn't ARK in space? How the hell are we going to get there?"

"I may be of assistance," their heads shot up towards the pink hedgehog standing as if she were in control. Amy raised her head and put a proud smirk on her face.

"Amy, what the hell are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in school?" Sonic hushed harshly. Amy's smug smirk widened.

"I have my ways, dear Sonikku. Anyway, you'll be needing my help because I'm the only one who knows where their launch system is."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Her face dropped and her eyes turned into a scowl.

"If you had tried to fucking listen instead of moping and pining over Shadow, you would've known that something was coming after you and could probably - must definitely - kill you. But no, don't hear a word for the ex, even if it were to save your life," Amy rolled her eyes and started towards Mephiles' car. Sonic gaped at her, before clearing his throat and gave an offended expression. "Don't give me that look Sonic." She snapped at him, her words wiping the expression clear off his face.

"We're really going to trust her?" Sonic asked, mostly directed towards Mephiles. Amy gave a glare from behind him, but Mephiles nodded in agreement.

"If she knows where the launch system is, then she'll show us," Mephiles answered, crossing his arms.

"But what if it's a trap? What if-"

"Sonic, I can't believe you'd actually think I'd stoop that low. Yes I know I hadn't been that good of a girlfriend, but seriously," Amy scoffed, rolling her eyes while also crossing her arms in an offended move. Sonic sighed and deflated. Whatever, what it took to save Shadow, that's all that matters.

"What are we waiting for?" Mephiles growled, getting in his car. Amy was quick to get to the front, shooting a smug smile at Sonic, who gave a sneer at that. They both got in, Sonic climbing into the back. His leg bounced with anticipation and hope. They'd find Shadow soon, that's all that mattered right now, and Sonic could apologize for his behavior.

"Lead the way hedgehog."


Finally got this done also! Enjoy! R&R.
