Lauren the Echidna Volume 2
Chapter 12
A Misunderstanding
It was none other than Silver the Hedgehog, warrior from the distant future, and master of the power of telekinesis. The hedgehog looked to me for a second then back to Scourge, who was lying unconscious on the ground before them. As Knuckles and Sonic aided my parents, I looked to Scourge and walked over to him, kneeling down on one knee. I heard a grunt from him as well as a few coughs, holding a hand up to his throat and turning over on his side, attempting to stand up. My hand reached for him, grabbing onto his arm, then his other to help him to his feet. Scourge had reached into his jacket to pull out his sunglasses, but nothing was there. Seeing him without those shades was indeed different, but he narrowed his eyes and looked up at me, seeing that I was helping him.
I held him up as he grunted, then he pulled away slightly. Refusing to let him stay on his own two feet, I reached for him again, but he growled and knocked my hands away.
"Gah...I don't...need your help...d-dammit..." He collapsed once again from the sudden weakness in his legs and I caught him with one quick motion. Scourge panted and coughed again, me not knowing what was going on. I realized he was a bit weak from being controlled like that but as I thought, my eyes then widened to finally realize what was wrong with him.
"Dammit...he's been poisoned by Mephiles!" I helped him up a bit until he was sitting down on the ground in front of me, and I began to take out a few items that were in the house behind us. Before I could do anything to help Scourge in destroying the poison inside him, I felt a hand grab the hood of my shirt and throw me back onto the ground with a bit of force. My legs were thrown up a bit then landed back onto the ground. I raised my head up to say a few words for the one who would dare try to stop me from helping someone, but that individual's hand was now in my face, the rouded symbol imprinted on it glowing a light green color. That same hand barely touched my forehead, before I found myself crashing into a boulder that was nearby.
"GAH! Ungh...w-what the...Silver!? What is your problem!?" I shouted in anger getting back onto my feet and rubbing my face from the pain. He snorted and glared at me with great anger, stepping toward me in slow motioned steps.
"You are in no place to speak. I have my mission to destroy the trigger that brought that monster to yet another world!" His hands glown a bright light green again about to attack, that is until Sonic and Frank had grabbed a hold of his arms, holding him back.
"Grr...get off me!" Silver shouted. The same aura surrounded his entire body and he blew both Sonic and Frank off of him and back onto the ground next to Scourge. As Scourge was still shivering from the poison slowly seeping around the vessells of his body, my eyes were suddenly narrowed, glaring at Silver to get him to stop. I then found myself grabbing Silver's hand and flipping him over my head and slamming him onto the grass covered ground, then stomping my foot onto his stomach. He gagged and grabbed onto my leg, blowing me off with more of his telekinetic power, throwing me into a tree trunk.
As I grunted, getting back up onto my feet, Silver was already in a fist to fist combat with Knuckles, hoping to back him off from me. Knuckles growled, missing each of his punches and dodging all of Silver's. I winced a bit then opened both my eyes, them suddenly glowing a bright green.
"That...is...ENOUGH!" My hands were glowing with what seemed like the same aura that Silver had in his own body. Everyone turned their attention to me, including Silver, who was suddenly astounded by what power I had acquired. My own telekinesis had kicked in, but this time with the same kind of power related to Silver kind. I lifted him up in the air with it and growled,
"You think I'm just gonna sit here and watch that hedgehog DIE!? I have my own purposes for this planet, and letting it become nothing but a rock floating in space is not an OPTION!" I moved my hand to my left and Silver had gone flying into a tree with so much force that it almost snapped in half, which it did, and was about to fall on top of Silver, when it was suddenly stopped in place.
Silver blinked and grunted, looking up to see that the tree trunk had been frozen in place then tossed aside from crushing him underneath it. I made my way toward Scourge and reached my hand up to his throat, taking out all of the poison before it had gotten too serious. I then snapped and Scourge's old pair of shades had appeared in my hand. My eyes went back to their normal dark green color and I handed the shades to him, with nothing but a smile.
"I believe these are yours."
Scourge took them and blinked, then smirking while placing them over his eyes.
"As much as I hate sayin it...thanks kid, you really saved my ass." He smirked and would shake my hand with a firm grip, me doing the same back to him. Silver saw this and got to his feet, making his way toward us all. I looked to him and my hands were placed on my hips, turning to him.
"So...have any other accusations?" I raised my hand, showing him and everyone else that there was a similar mark on my palm that matched the one on Silver's, same aura same everything. Silver's eyes blinked and his expression turned into a somewhat nice one. A smile appeared on his face.
"Alright fine...look. I'm sorry I accused you without thinking. It's just been a stressful time." Silver reached out to my hand and shook it, still with that smile.
"Eh...I know how ya feel, Silver. But ya know what? It's nice to meet such a powerful hedgehog from the future." I smiled back, shaking his hand.
"And it's nice to meet an echidna such as yourself. You really are a legend back in my world."
"Hehe...guess so." I chuckled and scratched the back of my head in embarrassment, as well as everyone else's frowns turned to smiles.
If this was what it was like to have the power of such a hedgehog as Silver...then maybe things would be easier after all.
But this wasn't over...a bigger evil was still awaiting us in the near future...
