Meeting the pros!
Soni's View!
"I feel a lot of movement over there." Jess says, he points to the right of us where the trees there were pushed aside, going over to it I see a rock with the most beautiful view I've seen in day, I stop to admire it when I hear a click from the left side of me. I turn my head to the side and see Shadow with a digital camera, he puts it down to his chest to look at the picture when he looks at me. "Do you want me to take your picture?" "Nah, I'm good. But I'd-" "Do you hear that?" Shadow walks forward, I follow him to see a certain green furred hedgehog playing in the water with what looks like...flying fish? We jump from the rock walking over to see Scourge still having trouble, when we get there I come up with an idea.
"Hey Scourge, looks like your stuck in a fishy situation." I laugh a little, which gets a smirk from Jess. "Haha very funny, will you just help me already!" "Alright, don't get your fins in a twist." I laugh again, except this time I thought I heard a chuckle from Shadow, I never even knew he could laugh. I get in the water grabbing his arm dragging him out of the stream, he yanks his arm out of my hand. "Great, now my jackets wet." "What were you doing in the stream anyway, and why are you here?" Jess ask leaning over the stream taking a sip of the water, he nods his head when he gets up.
"I was taking a walk when I saw those monkeys swing by the stream, they were talkin' 'bout some ancestors and someone named Una." "Una?" Scourge looks over at Shadow. "Yeah, ring any bells in that fantasy head of yours?" Shadow puts one hand under his chin with the other holding it. "Not right away, but it sounds familiar." "Well why don't you think about that while I go back to the camp and get a new pair of clothes." "You do that, I think we'll stay awhile." Jess takes his shirt off, putting it in the stream, he turns to Scourge. " Mind giving me your clothes greenie?" "Nah, I think I'm good." Jess shrugs."Suit yourself."
An hour later we decide to follow the stream to see if it leads somewhere, I see an opening ahead. "Are you sure this stream dosen't lead to the ocean Jess?" "No, I didn't taste any salt in the water, but it was something different." "Why Sonic, are you tired already?" Shadow smirks at me. " If your that tired from walking a few inches I wouldn't mind carrying you~." I feel heat across my face, I nudge his arm. "No, just that we've been walking for an hour at most and I hear waves." "Waves? I hear screaming." We look at Jess behind us, who after a second gets what he said. "Oh shit!" We sprint to the opening fast enough to when the screams turn in to howls. "Wooooh!" A splash comes next, we go through and we find something unexplainable.
"What in Chaos..." Infront of us is sea after sea of upper-class mobians, most of them jump in to the lake that connects to the stream we followed. Behind them is a building that has two generators running the power, inside I could view a TV with an XBox connected to it, tents are all over the place. When I see this, a flow of rage washes over my body that I haven't felt in awhile, I become so furious I start to shake so hard that Jess holds me back. "Calm down Sonic, it must be for other passangers." "But the ship was only meant for adventure members only." "You're not helping here Shadow." When I look to see Shadow in the same state as I am, I feel a small feeling in my stomach, like a tinge of something that feels nice. I trun back to look at the scene. "Let's go." I start to walk towards the crowd with Shadow by my side, the feeling still sitting in my stomach, Jess screams at us. "Are you two crazy, what are you gonna do anyway?!" "We're gonna do what we can..." Shadow responds, a few of the upper-class come toward us with happiness spread across their faces.
"Hey what's good man, wanna join us in the pool?" He motions towards the lake that's connected to the stream, two more guys with a girl follow him. "Yeah, no thanks man, but might I ask why you're here?" "What you mean bro, we're supposed to be here. Chris built this place for us!" The more I listen, the angrier I get, until Shadow steps in. "Well where is he, I want to talk to him." "He's not here but we'll leave a message for you!" The girl yells, she mimicks the beep which makes the rest laugh, I tighten my fist. "Well I want him to tear this place down." The laughter stops and instead replaces itself with silence, one of the guys step up with a beer in his left hand.
"You can't be serious man-" "I'm being totally serious, man. Your destroying the stream with your alcohol and making it dirty, this needs to stop." Seriousness replaces the shocked expressions on their faces, I start to feel the feeling in my stomach go away and makes itself up to be nervousness. "Well looks like you won't be heard today, bro." "I will if I want to." "With you and what army?" The other guy says. "I only see a muskrat and a citrus fruit." They start to laugh, I remember that I was wearing green today since I didn't want to wear that parka often so I wore a green jacket instead, 'Now I'm starting to regret my own style choices.' One of them steps up to me. "What are you gonna do about this then?" He throws his drink at me, I hiss when the alcohol gets into my eyes. "Well?" He pushes me, I start to say something when Shadow walks up to him and puches him in the face so hard that he stumbles to the ground. The rest just stand there. "What are you idiots doing, get them!"
They start running towards us, before I got the beer out of my eyes Shadow handles the whole deal without needing my help. When I'm done I trun around to help when I only see all of them, faces flat, on the ground. I see Shadow look at me. "Are you okay Sonic, do you need a cloth?" "No, but what just happened, did you do this?" Shadow rubs his rings around his gloves, I've never really noticed them since I've gotten to know him, he rubs on them for awhile not making eye contact with me. "Yeah, in my spare time I would teach myself how to fight. I usually did it to pass the time when my dad-" He stops for awhile when he suddenly falls down, I walk over to him. "Shadow, hey Shad-" I feel a sharp pain in my side but I never get to see what it was from the tiredness I feel after the pain. The last thing I hear is Jess shouting our names with some of the upper class coming towards us.

I watch what unfolds before me when Sonic and Shaadow just walked up to the uppers like they were on the same level, and how Shadow had just kicked all their asses without even flinching. I see them talking to themselves as if the world around them didn't even matter, I've known since I saw Sonic and Shadow that Shadow liked Sonic. The way he would look at him when he ate those disgusting chillidogs, or when he would sit next to him when they studied and how his posture would be straighter then how I normally saw him slumping over to read his books, it was obvious that every girl he passed by who was even a bit intrested in him he wasn't. Though for how Sonic acts around him, I didn't think the feeling were mutual, until we got on this island and the advances me and Scourge see Shadow making towards Sonic, is when we see Sonic change.
If I were Sonic I think I would notice when someone hits on me, 'It's not like every day you can get to meet the sexiest thing alive'. "And this is coming from a guy hiding his sexuality..." I say to myself while leaning on one of the trees, I know that I seem to look straight from the naked eye, but from the struggles I had to go through, I should know when someone loves another even if they're hiding it. 'But that's not my buisness.'
I think about it some more when I see something black cross my vsion, I rub it off thinking it was a leaf, but the first thing I notice is the conversation between the two lovebirds stop when Shadow falls to the ground, when Sonic wallks over to him the same thing comes by my face and I know what's happening instantly. I use my power to toss the two of them to me, I hold them in both shoulders and make a run for it, I try to run to the base but I figure that whoever they are would follow us, so I cross over to the right side of the stream, that's when I feel a sharp pain in my back. I continue runinng before I feel another, which leads to another two minutes later. I start to feel tired but still treck on, when I feel the last one before I collapse to the ground, I start to feel sleep pull at my eyes when I see a passing figure pass through the trees far away from us.

'I feel something wrong about today.' Ever since I left the stream with Darik to get some food I've felt scared to wander much, I guess to myself 'that's all the time now'! The creatures continue to plague our streams and take lives of land animals, I have wanted to talk to them but most time I get scared and leap away, but even when I told Darik about bravery that morning, I've felt weak in my insides mentally. I leap my way to where I last saw a bunch of creatures, on my way I pass one in the bushes on the ground holding one of those sticks with the holes in them, when I get to the opening I see the three creatures from the night before. I see the copy and my dream creature talking when something hits my copy on his neck, when the other walks over they get hit on their hip, I see something what Darik called magic on them both when they were being lifted into the air and then tossed to someone.
The plant man from yesterday used it and held them on his arms when he started running, I was amazed that such a skinny creature could carry so many others! I follow him to see where he's going when he runs on to the right path of the stream, the creature from the bushes before follows him too. I see multiple black seeds hit them in the back when he falls over, I leap too far ahead and begin to leap back slowly, I see this as my chance to help them in their time of need and as Darik told me, I leap into action! I land on the ground keeping my speed, I take the aggressive route of saving since making peace during this time never works now-a-days.
I run faster when they spot me. "Hey, why are you naked, are you one of the lowers? Get lost!" I finally reach them, slowing my speed in the process, I slice the side of one of the male creatures in the front with my claws that appeared to be the leader, I contiue to the next by breaking both of his arms in one swift motion. The last of the male creatures starts to move his knife over me, I dodge each swipe skilfully before I grab his head and break his neck, the only girl of the group starts to run away but fails when I sipe my tail up her back causing her to bleed down her spine. I sigh to myself, walking over to the creatures from yesterday when my tail catches something, I turn around to see another of the black seeds drenched in the girls blood, I look up to see the creature from the bushes before.
They notice me and start to run the same direction the girl was going, I leap off the ground far enough to reach them. The last thing they said was a scream that sounded like 'help' until I bashed their head into the ground hard enough to kill them. I get up slowly from the ground, wiping the sweat from my head. "Maybe I should have asked before doing that?" I question myself, I shrug heading over to the creatures I know and carrying them all to the home land. When I get there Darik looks stunned. "Dark what happened, are you okay, why are they here?" "Because they need our help, now help me get them to the healing area."
This took too long to come up with, but in my mind I'm happy with the results and I'm sorry for the murdering that took place today. My bad.
