Chapter 11
Amy felt the shift the moment it happened, she was still trapped here but she felt it wasn't for much longer. She turned and faced Him.
"So is there a reason you've come to me now?" She asked trying to pass the time until she was free.
"Because you needed me to," he replied serenely. "In your weakest moments I've always been by your side...but until now you never needed me."
"Why didn't I need you before?" She wondered. "I mean I must've prayed to you countless times."
"I heard every one," he said a lilt in his voice that suggested a smile. "But you always found the strength yourself, whether it be continuing your chase after Sonic, or deciding to find your daughter you picked yourself up and continued on."
"That sure makes me sound stronger than I felt either of those times." She sighed.
"You are strong enough, to fight, and win." He said cryptically. Suddenly he gave a shudder.
"What's wrong?" She asked scared.
"I just felt a terrible ripple," he replied his voice shaky. "Someone had influenced one of my guardians."
"What do you mean?" She asked her voice raising in pitch.
"One of my guardians is under a very dark influence," he explained his voice distant and worried. "She's a very important one too..."
"I have to get back," she said suddenly.
He turned in her direction and hummed. "Just remember you are stronger than you think."
She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could on her objective, relying solely on her instincts.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
Sonic, Shadow, Orion and Knuckles stood in front of a giant machine.
"What is that?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know," Sonic answered. "But I intend to find out."
"What ever it is, it's here for a fight." Orion said reading into a fighting stance.
The mech looked at Orion. "Target acquired." It raised its right arm and parts of it began to move. It's hand folded in and a cylinder rose out.
"Run!" Orion yelled.
Everyone scattered as the mech fired a massive blast of energy from its arm. "HOW!" Knuckles asked.
Shadow replied "G.U.N must have given it the ability to modify its body to accommodate any combat situation."
"In English Shadow!" Knuckles yelled back
"It can change form."
"Then how are we supposed to beat it?" Sonic asked
Shadow smiled "You leave it to me that's what." He stopped running and did a 180. As Shadow tried to get close to use an attack the mech it ironed and faced him. Winding its arm back slowly Shadow thought it wouldn't be task enough to hit him but just before it punched its arm made a noise like something had detached and before Shadow could move the mech's arm came flying at him faster then Shadow could react. The punch sent him flying backwards into a building that then collapsed on top of him. The rubble began to shake and then flew in every direction.
"How did it move so quickly?" Shadow asked himself. He looked at the mech and saw that it had detached the armor on its arm to allow it to move so quickly. It reached back and reattached its armor. "So it can remove its armor and move faster when it's detached, fantastic." Shadow thought to himself. It moved its other arm and aimed at Orion.
"Oh no!" Orion yelled.
"Arm modification-cannon shift." The mech said. It's cannon retracted and its hand reappeared, the fingers straightened and formed barrels. Suddenly the hand began to spin and fire a flurry of shots like a machine gun. With the machine distracted by Orion, Shadow tried to get a hit in as best he could. He charged energy into his hand and teleported right next to it, but before he could land the punch he heard something from inside the mech.
'What?'Shadow wondered. 'it can't be!'He teleported over to Sonic. "Sonic we have a problem.
"What's wrong?" Sonic asked.
"There's something inside the machine." Shadow answered.
Sonic raced over to the mech and pulled out a chaos emerald "Chaos Control!" Sonic warped behind the machine near the power core where he heard a sound.
"Chao, Chao."
"No way!" Sonic said and teleported back to Shadow. "You were right its Cheese, he's in the mech."
Shadow looked at Sonic, "how?"
Orion yelled at the two of them. "Cheese must be what's keeping the mech active."
"So if we get Cheese out of there then the mech will shut down?" Knuckles asked.
"Probably." Orion responded
"Well then let's save Cheese and stop this thing!" Knuckles said running at the machine.
"Idiot, if I can't get a hit, what makes you think you can?" Shadow scoffed.
"Watch and learn Shadow," Knuckles smirked.
Rouge watched in horror as Knuckles punched the mech, only for him to be blasted back at her from an invisible barrier. Then the mech fired off an explosive round which threw them both back into a building.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
When he landed Knuckles felt his left arm crack, and he let out a scream of pain. He heard a loud crash, followed by a cry of agony from Rouge.
"Rouge!" He yelled worried, as he stood up on unsteady feet. He slowly made his way towards where he thought he heard the scream. He could feel that his ankle was sprained badly as well. He finally entered a room where the room was collapsed, and he saw something white sticking out. Under the large piece of ceiling he could see blood pooling out.
"Rouge!" He screamed again, as he began pulling the rubble off of her, ignoring the extreme pain that shot through him. When he finally got it off her, she looked so broken. "Rouge..." He whispered as he fell to his knees in front of her, pulling her into his arms. Tears sprung to his eyes as he buried his face in her hair, then he heard her soft labored breathing. "Oh Rouge..." He lifted her slowly, as he got to his feet.
He slowly made his way out of the building as it began to shake and collapse. Once he was out he made his way back to the others, hoping that someone could help him.
He found Tails, who was keeping Cream back from the fight as she fought to get towards the mech.
"Tails," he said roughly, the effort beginning to become to much. He fell to the ground as he lost his strength. She fell out of his arms and thumped on the ground.
Tails looked at Vanilla who nodded and took hold of her daughter, who cried tears streaming nonstop down her face.
"What happened?" Tails asked looking her over, he pulled a kit out of the bag he had slung over his back.
"The building we slammed into, the roof fell on her." Knuckles said with a sniffle. "S-She's bleeding, but I don't know where..." He looked at Tails pleadingly.
"I'll do what I can," Tails said softly. He'd taken lessons from Chip before they'd defeated Dark Gaia, in ways to find out ailments and some healing techniques.
He pulled out a scanner and moved it slowly over Rouge, he saw the blood still pooling. It gave off a beep. "She's bleeding internally...but it doesn't look life threatening."
Knuckles let out a large breath he didn't know he was holding in relief.
Tails gave Rouge a soft nudge, trying to get her to wake up enough to let him know where she hurt. "Rouge wake up."
Her eyelids fluttered but not much else happened. Tails decided if the pain were too had she'd make a sound in her state. He began at her ribs and moved down, he felt her body tense when he touched her ribs. "Her ribs might be a little bruised," he moved lower and when he touched her stomach she jolted upwards with a scream of pure agony.
"Rouge!" Knuckles yelled helpless. She collapsed back to the ground groaning in pain.
"It hurts...so much!" She wailed. "Please make...it stop..." Her eyes screwed shut once more. Her breathing becoming short gasps of pain.
Knuckles looked at Tails, his expression so broken and hopeless. "Please can you help her?"
Tails looked into Knuckles' eyes, and saw the pain. He had a clue as to why Rouge was bleeding but didn't have the heart to destroy either with the news.
"I can ease the pain, but not much else." Tails said softly.
"Do it," Knuckles pleaded. Tails nodded and closed his eyes, placing his hand over Rouge's stomach. He chanted a few words he'd learned, there was a soft yellow glow and her crying turned into sniffles. He then moved away from her, to let Knuckles get over to her.
She leaned up a little as Knuckles knelt next to her. "Knuckie...I'm ok now," she whispered attempting a small smile.
"You really scared me," he said smiling at her as he pulled her into his arms and squeezing gently so he didn't hurt her.
She felt him flinch when he squeezed and pulled away from him.
"Hey what's wrong?" She asked her voice worried and stern.
"Don't worry it's nothing," he assured her. She leveled a glare at him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Do not give me that," she said eyeing him up and down. She could see he was favoring one side of his body. "What did you hurt?"
"Rouge seriously, I don't need you to stress yourself out more over me," he said staring into her eyes. "I'll be fine, it's not too bad." He gave her a confident smirk as he pulled her close again.
"Ok," she gave in reluctantly.
"I have to get back to the others, they need me." He said with a peck to her forehead. "Don't worry I'll be back." She nodded as he headed back into the brawl.
Tails stood off to the side, when Creams wails broke into his thoughts once more. He walked back over to Vanilla and motioned for her to put Cream down.
Once she was down she ran straight into Tails' arms and cried hard. "What if they can't get him out?!"
"Don't worry, Sonic won't let anything bad happen to him." He reassured her. He was also trying to reassure himself, because he still wasn't too sure about Sonic at the moment.
"Why would anyone do this to something so innocent?" She sniffed.
"That's probably why he wanted him so bad," Tails said an edge to his voice. "From what I gather he gets off on being cruel."
"Tails do you think we'll all be together again?" Cream asked her voice shaky and adenoidal.
"I believe it," he said firmly. "No matter what, we'll all be together."
"Hey...thanks," Rouge said walking back up to the two younger ones.
"No problem," Tails smiled at her. He then dug into his pockets and pulled out two chaos emeralds. "Here take these to them, they're gonna need em."
"Why don't you..."
"I don't wanna leave Cream," she noticed for the first time that she was wrapped in his one arm. She smiled at them as she nodded and hurried off after Knuckles.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
Knuckles returns to the fight where Sonic had come up with an idea. "If Orion and Shadow can restrain it then me and Knuckles can stop the machine long enough for Orion to disable the core and save Cheese."
"And how exactly are we supposed to get behind that thing Sonic?!" Shadow asked thinking Sonic was crazy.
"It can't look in three directions at once can it." Knuckles said lifting up a bolder.
Sonic saw that Knuckles arm was injured "Are you sure your up for this?" Sonic asked.
"I'll be fine as long as we end this quickly." He answered. "Shadow, Orion get ready once I throw this its up to you." Knuckles threw the bolder and landed a direct hit on the mech.
Shadow ran off to the left and Orion went to the right. Both of them managed to get ahold of the mechs arms and pulled them back to keep it from attacking.
Sonic jumped in the air "Lets do this!" He yelled and turned super Sonic. "Ready knuckles?"
"Ready." Knuckles wound back and punched Sonic sending him flying toward the machine.
The force of Knuckles' punch allowed Sonic to go right through the mech and break both of its arms off.
"Orion you're up!" Sonic yelled.
"Right." He replied, he began charging energy into his hand and placed it on the now exposed core. He let out an electric shock that disabled the machine allowing Orion to get Cheese out of the core and safely to Sonic. But as Orion passed the shaking Chao to Sonic, the mech began to move again.
"How?" Orion asked. "I thought that shock would have been enough."
"There must be another back-up core somewhere else." Shadow answered.
"Well then we'll just have to destroy it!" Orion yelled picking up one of the mechs broken arms.
"I'm right there with you Orion." Shadow said picking up the other arm with a smile.
"Guys us these." Rouge said, popping up and throwing them each a chaos emerald.
Shadow and Orion took an emerald and loaded it into the mechs arm cannon.
"Ready Shadow?" Orion asked.
"Ready." He responded.
"CHAOS CANNON!" The arm cannons let out a massive energy that ripped through the machine turning it into scrap parts.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
Amy walked back a few feet from Harrison and Anais, observing their interactions. She smiled when she saw how close they were, she was glad someone like the young fox was watching over her girl.
She remembered slightly about Anais, but her memories were mixed with Scourge's tainted orders. She knew deep down she couldn't keep the orders he'd given her, she couldn't kill the hedgehog. The only thing was, she wasn't sure why.
"I think we're getting closer," Harrison called over his shoulder. His words broke her from her thoughts, and she felt a shiver. The presence she was feeling felt familiar to her, and for some reason she felt herself smiling slightly.
"Why are you smiling?" Anais asked curiously.
"I don't know," Amy shrugged. "But I feel a familiar presence and it feels safe."
Soon they could hear voices talking, they were pretty far off still, and their words couldn't be made out.
Suddenly Anais stopped in her tracks, a weird look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked.
"I feel a connection to someone close by," she replied slowly. "Like it's slightly familiar, as if I knew him...like from a dream."
"It's probably what Scourge was talking about," Amy said with a sigh. "We're close by the target."
"Sonic the Hedgehog." Anais said furrowing her brow. "Why do I have a connection with him?"
"I feel it too..." Amy said her eyes slightly unfocused. "I wonder..."
"What was that..." A female voice asked, she sounded shaken.
"I don't know, but there was a reason it was sent after us." A rough male voice said.
"I'm just glad we got Cheese out safely," a small female voice said, her voice wavering.
They finally came across a group of people. A white bat, a red echidna, two brown rabbits, an orange fox and a black hedgehog. But the one thing that stole Amy's focus was a bloodstained white sheet, over a familiar shape.
It felt like a white hot iron was pressed into her heart. Then her head exploded as a flood of memories hit her.
"Amy?" She looked up her eyes wide and tears flowing down her cheeks in a hard flow. All the faces around her looked surprised to see her, but then one stood out.
She knew it couldn't be him though, because his eyes, as well as his fur were too dark.
She stood away from everyone grabbing her head, her arms and legs began to glow with circular runes, with one on her forehead. He took a step towards her, only to stop as she screamed. "Just stay away from me!"
"Amy it's me don't you remember?" Sonic asked, his voice hurt and confused.
"No you're not!" She yelled raising her hand and launching a bolder at him.
Sonic knew he wasn't strong enough to break the bolder so he did what he does best.
"You're not real!" Amy yelled. Her yell caused the ground underneath Sonic to shake and erupt into the sky.
Sonic tried his best to get back to the ground but Amy was making it incredibly difficult. 'Something must be wrong with her.' Sonic thought to himself. 'But what, and why does she think I'm not real?' Sonic landed on solid ground and began running. 'There must be a way to snap her out of it?' Sonic ran around Amy hoping to get behind her but Amy was too fast, everywhere Sonic ran she was one step ahead of him blasting the ground from underneath his feet.
'She could easily kill me with that power, but why does she keep missing... Unless she isn't trying to kill me. There must be something stopping her from the inside.' Sonic jumped at her "I'm sorry about this Amy." Sonic said and punched her. Sonic looked up to see that Amy had caught his hand and was winding back hers. When he looked into her eyes he saw that nothing he could say would get to her, there was no recognition she really thought he was dead.
With one clean hit Amy sent him flying backwards. When he landed he did a backflip and landed on his feet. He looked and saw Amy holding a really, really big chunk of earth above her head.
Sonic was stunned for a second, "oh boy!"
Amy threw the chunk right at Sonic. Sonic reacted quickly, he leapt into the air and began to spin in a circle, generating a cyclone that caught the earth and with one kick he sent it flying back at Amy. As he watched the earth fly back at Amy he saw a light shine from behind it and suddenly the chunk exploded.
When the dust settled Amy was floating and wielding a glowing hammer. Raising her hand she caused multiple rocks of various sizes to levitate in front of her. Winding back she began to hit them one by one like baseballs. Sonic did the best he could to evade the rocks but eventually decided to run on top of them to get to Amy. As he ran along the rocks he got to Amy and tried to land a kick but as soon as he got close Amy raised her hammer and in a quick flash it became a sword.
"Seriously!" Sonic yelled in shock. He evaded the blade as best he could but since he was in the air he couldn't dodge properly, the blade cut his arm.
Amy rose her blade in the air and separated it into two smaller blades. Sonic reacted quickly, he knew that he stood no chance if Amy had two blades, he ran up and hit one of the blades out of her hand. With his good arm he grabbed the blade. He didn't want to raise a sword to her but he would die if he didn't.
"Amy you have to think...this is me, I swear!" He said desperately as they clashed swords.
"You're lying...I-I saw..." She stammered as she faltered and fell backwards, he held the blade at her neck ensuring she wouldn't move. Her eyes flashed over to the sheet, so he followed her gaze and saw what she saw.
"Oh Ames..." Suddenly her color became it's normal soft pink. The blades disappeared, and he fell to his knees as she flung herself at him. He caught her, wrapping his arms around her.
As the others watched the scene they saw Sonic's color change back to normal. Rouge wept openly as she buried her face into Knuckles' neck. Cream had a look of pure shock on her face as she stared wide eyed at the pink crying girl, she too had tears falling freely down her face. Vanilla rested a hand on Cream's shoulder.
Tails felt like a huge load lifted from his shoulders at the return of their friend. Shadow felt a weird twinge at the sight of the two embracing, so he turned away from them.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
Anais watched as what she now knew as her parents fighting. "They're going to kill each other?" She said her voice quivering. Harrison placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly.
"I'm certain they won't." He said softly. "Even if she was darker still, I know there will always be a part of her that will bring her back to him."
"So you mean they always find each other?" She asked looking at him, her eyes brimming with tears.
"From what my father told me of them," Harrison nodded. "They won't stop looking for each other no matter the obstacle."
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
"Are you really real?" She whispered looking up into his lime orbs.
"Really, really." He smiled at her. She couldn't contain herself anymore as she leaned up and pressed her lips to his in a tender kiss.
Suddenly there was a gasp that drew everyone's attention to two young children, that they hadn't noticed before.
"Who're you?" Sonic asked looking straight at the little hedgehog girl. Amy turned her head and sucked in a breath. She pulled herself slowly from Sonic's embrace, despite his grunt of protest.
She moved over to the little girl. "Do you still remember me?" The little girl asked nervously.
"I can't believe it...I finally...how...?" She couldn't form a coherent sentence.
The little girl then glanced back at Sonic. "Don't you recognize me daddy? I finally understand our connection."
He felt as if time stopped as he watched Amy embrace the little girl as they both cried. He couldn't believe she was the same child. She was too big, but with werehog DNA they didn't know how fast she would actually grow.
"Anais," he whispered as he made his way over and wrapped his arms around both of his girls.
The onlooking group couldn't believe what they were seeing, but were happy nonetheless.
"Who are you though?" Cream asked suddenly, bringing everyone's attention to the little fox boy. He looked like a carbon copy of Orion, except his eyes were brown.
"Harrison?" Shadow asked surprised that everyone else could see him as well.
"You've been keeping her safe, haven't you?" Amy asked smiling at him. She had small spurts of memory flashes from before now.
"Yes," he nodded smiling, glad that Anais was reunited with her parents. She was safe for the moment. "Has anyone seen my father? I felt his presence here but I don't see him."
"He was looking at the robot that attacked us." Tails said pointing to the north.
"I really can't figure out how they were able to engineer this thing to use a Chao to power this." He came to a sudden stop when he saw Amy, Anais and Harrison.
"Orion!" Amy said happily as she jumped up and ran over to him. He held out a hand to stop her.
"I don't think you should touch me," he said softly. "I sense the same thing within you and Sonic, you aren't safe to touch me."
"Why?" She asked confused.
"It has to do with the twin relics," Orion explained. "I don't know much, but I know it's what caused the darkness in you both."
Amy turned back to Sonic, a curious look on her face. "If you're you...wh-who's that?" She pointed at the sheet.
He looked ashamed of himself. "Th-That's Scourge."
She felt her stomach roll at the thought of what was under the sheet, but she dared not look. "Who..."
"I did," he said a quiver in his voice. She hurried back over to him, and wrapped her arms around him comfortingly.
"I know you didn't mean to," she hushed soothingly.
"But that's the thing...there is a sane part of me that doesn't regret it." He said angry. "I've never..." He looked into her eyes pleadingly. "I couldn't stand the thought of him doing anything to you."
"I'm ok now," she said softly. "That's what matters."
"All this happy energy is making me sick," they all turned at the new voice.
"Sarah?" Amy and Orion said shocked to see her face, she sneered at them.
"Of course you two would be together, wouldn't you." She said hatefully. She glared darkly at Amy. "It's all your fault you know."
"What is?" Amy spat angry of being accused.
"The reason I'm not important...the reason for his death."
"Who's death?" Orion asked not understanding why she was acting like this.
"You're just as much to blame!" She shrieked suddenly. "If you hadn't left us behind, we'd still be alive!"
"What is this about?" He asked angrily. "Why are you acting like this?!"
"As if you care." She snarled.
"Sarah what is wrong with you?" He said walking over to her, grabbing her by the arms. "You've never been like this before."
She glared into his electric eyes. "Don't touch me, you have no right." She yanked herself out of his hold. She heard a movement and her eyes narrowed in on the bruised and bleeding couple, Knuckles and Rouge.
"Hmm, at least I'm not as bad a mother as you," she said directly to Rouge, who looked confused. "You killed it, taking it into so much danger."
"What are you talking about?" Knuckles growled, pulling the now shaking Rouge behind him.
She whimpered. "I was...pregnant?" He stiffened up at her small words, it sent a pain through his heart. They barely registered Sarah's evil laugh.
"He would have even been a great hero," Sarah laughed.
Amy walked right up to Sarah, and unexpectedly slapped her across the face. "How dare you do that!" She shrieked. "No one deserves that, I don't know what's wrong with you but you need to stop."
"My problem is him," Sarah pointed at Orion. "If he hadn't left, I could've lived my life with our son."
"How can you say that, all my efforts were to try and save our planet, to save our future!" He yelled electricity beginning to spark off his body.
"Well you didn't do a good enough job," she sneered as the wind seemed to pick up around her. Amy felt the blunt force of the wind and was thrown back, she was just barely caught by Sonic. "We're still dead." Then a burst of wind sent her flying towards him where she connected with a hit to his face. When he flew back her fist sizzled from the electricity on him.
"Are you all right?" He asked concerned even though she was being impossible.
"Shut up!" She screamed throwing what appeared to be blades of wind at him. They cut up his ash body, but had no affect on him. Her fists then lit on fire as she charged him again, swinging her blazing fists screaming in complete rage.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
Everyone watched as the two fought, except Rouge and Knuckles who were now about twenty feet away, where they couldn't hear what they were saying anymore.
Rouge had begun to hyperventilate after the news sunk in, and she realized what the blood had meant.
"Rouge breathe, please baby." Knuckles said his voice thick and rough from the tears he was holding back, trying his best to stay strong for her. He felt like a complete buffoon for not realizing what her symptoms were.
"I-I can't...it just...hur-hurts...ev-everywhere," she cried, her face was buried in her knees as she sobbed. "How...co-could I n-not know!"
"Rouge I don't think anyone knew," Knuckles said kneeling next to her and wrapping his arms around her securely. "It'll be ok."
"It doesn't feel like it," she sobbed harder. "It hurts even more that I didn't know until now."
"I know baby, I know," his voice cracked as he began to rock her slowly, back and forth. He didn't even care anymore if the tears were streaming down his face. He buried his face into her hair, kissing it as he did so.
"Knuckles...I'm sorry," she whispered, in a choked sob. Her whole body was shaking with the force of her sobs.
"Please don't say that," he said shakily. "Don't ever say you're sorry...you didn't know."
"But I must've known," she cried. "I know there was a part of me that must have known why I was sick."
"Rouge you couldn't have figured it out," he pulled back to look into her eyes. He pushed her bangs back gently, his gaze softening even as the tears still came. "You obviously weren't that far along..."
"That doesn't make it hurt less," she said a frown marring her features.
"I know," he said kissing her cheeks, then moving to her forehead, followed by her eyelids, and finally her lips. "But I promise you this," he kissed her again. "You won't be alone with this, we'll get past together."
"Knuckie...what would I ever do without you," she sniffed her tears beginning to slow.
He gave her a small smile. "Be so completely lost." She smiled back slightly, as she gave him a slight shove. "I love you so much."
"Right back at ya," she leaned in and kissed him softly. They had been completely ignoring the fight going on. When they looked back, Orion was holding Sarah as she shook.
xXThe Things We Leave BehindXx
He let her hit him, he kept getting back up hoping that she would come to her senses soon, and stop being foolish.
"Why won't you fight back!" She screamed as she pounded his chest, right near the glowing part.
"Because I love you, no matter if you're acting like a jealous fool," he said as she kept going, her hits becoming softer. "I was there for you every minute I was off of work, after I died I've been helping you by watching over your charges as well." She suddenly dropped to her knees, letting out a loud wail. "I was so excited the day you told me you were pregnant...and you have no idea how devastated I was to know you died because of my mistakes...please come back to me."
Her wail cut off into a choked sob. "I-I'm so sorry..." She cried as she buried her face in her hands. "I don't know why..."
He fell to his knees in front of her and brought her into his arms. "I know you didn't mean it..."
"But I did," she said softly, looking up at him with watery eyes. "I meant every word I said...because deep in my heart, in the darkest place I felt these doubts."
"It's natural to feel doubt," the two looked up to see Amy coming over, a small smile on her face. "I've felt it every day since I met Sonic," she glanced back at him. "What makes us strong is that we choose to move passed it, to accept the doubt and move on."
"Wise words," Sarah said wiping her eyes as Orion helped her stand.
"I had a good teacher, stuck in my own darkness." Amy replied with a wink. Sarah understood the wink and smiled.
She turned back to Orion. "I have bad news," she said ashamed. "I helped the one who caused all this...in my darkened state, I-I healed him...but I know his plan."
"Who's plan?" Orion asked worried.
"He is known by Project Odin." Sarah said her eyes downcast. "All I wanted was revenge...but now I think I've doomed us all."
AN: I am so sorry it took so long for my update, and I realize its long but I couldn't bear to separate them into two chapters. I hope you all enjoy the chapter, and hopefully it won't take as long for the next update :)
