Forbidden Love
KSF: YAY! I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story so far! I love you ALL! (Well...you know.)
Sonic: Man, you know how annoying it's gonna' be trying to out-do my own speed!
KSF: No, no I don't.
Sonic: --grumbles--
Amy: Sonic! Get that elixir damn it! You better out-do your own speed or else!
Sonic: Gee, no pressure.
KSF: Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic and co. but I do own Elle Rose and Ryo Nezuki.
Castle - Dungeon's Sector:
"Can you please sing me that song that Mum used to sing to us when we were little?".
That same sentence kept running through Amy's mind. She was shell-shocked with the situation she was in.
"Wake up! This is just a stupid nightmare!"wailed Amy pinching herself on the face.
Amy then realised that this was indeed reality. She then kneeled down, with Elle's hand in hers, and prayed for Sonic to get the Elixir and make it back in time, before it was too late.
Hallway:
Sonic and Ryo were head to head. Sonic was trying his best to out-do Ryo, but out-doing your own speed was extremely hard.
"Give up blue-boy!" smirked Ryo shoving Sonic in his side.
"What are you talking about! You're blue too you dimwit!" shouted Sonic shoving Ryo in the shoulder.
"Oh so you want to make this personal do you?" exclaimed Ryo making his legs go into a spin to try and out-run Sonic.
Sonic did exactly the same and then the pair were speeding off as fast as their legs would take them. They were neck and neck. Ryo then turned the corner at a wide angle and knocked Sonic against the wall with powerful force.
"Shit! You cheater! You and your dirty tricks!" boomed Sonic getting up and speeding up to Ryo.
"Have a cry. I want this elixir, so you think I'm gonna' play it clean!" chuckled Ryo.
Sonic got slighty ahead of Ryo and swiftly grabbed a pedestal that was placed at the side of the hallway while running atfull speed. Sonic then swung it to the side and got ready to strike. Ryo looked over at Sonic smirking to himself...until he realised what Sonic was holding.
"Holy shi--!".
Before Ryo finsihed his sentence, Sonic swung the pedestal from his side and whacked Ryo cold-hard in the side. Ryo went flying to the other side of the hallway and created a crater in the wall that he landed in.
"I guess I'll play dirty too" smirked Sonic starting to laugh to himself.
Sonic turned the corner and went on towards his destination.
Throne Room:
Sonic finally arrived at the Throne Room. He saw a lock on the door handle. Sonic started cursing under his breath at his stupidity. He started looking everywhere for the key to open the lock. Usually his Father hides the keys for rooms around places near the enterance. Sonic was getting fustrated over not being able to find the key. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something sparkle.
He looked up at the top of the doorway, and sure enough, there was the key.
"There you are you little rascal" cursed Sonic starting to try and grab the key.
"YOU BASTARD!" shouted an incredibly angry voice from behind.
Sonic turned around for a split-second in fright and was knocked through the door.
Sonic then squinted his eyes open and saw, well, himself, but he knew it was Ryo. Ryo then pulled his arm back and punched Sonic hard in the cheek.
"Man, I punch good" smiled Sonic through his swollen cheek.
"DIE!" boomed Ryo who then started furiously kicking and punching Sonic.
Sonic locked Ryo's arms in his hands and flipped him over. Now Sonic started bashing the crap out of Ryo.
Ryo then started bleeding at the mouth. Ryo then kicked Sonic in the stomach and Sonic went sprawling across the ground.
The two of them got up and started battling it out. Punches were flying, kicks were pounding, and even biting was occuring.
Then the two of them froze in place when a gun-shot rocked their hearing. The two fighting hedgehogs looked to the side and saw the King standing there looking furious.
"What the hell! Which one of you is Ryo?" boomed the King.
"Me Sir" said Ryo stepping forward, still panting.
"Prove it" stated the King, one eyebrow raised.
Ryo's skin then started bubbling and rippling like the ocean waves. His Sonic form then literally slid off of him, and inside, left standing was an orange/cream coloured hedgehog looking as serious as ever.
"Okay, I'm glad that we got that--".
"Man, they say inner-beauty is the most important thing, but not in your case. Your outer-beauty was far superior" scoffed Sonic panting, but smirking at his joke.
Ryo turned around slowly and looked Sonic dead in the eye.
"I'd shut your mouth if I were you" stated Ryo in a deep monotone voice.
"Okay then, not a word" said Sonic pretending to zip his mouth shut.
Ryo glared at Sonic and then turned around back to the King.
"Sir, this isn't part of the plan. You're not supposed to be near the Castle!" questioned Ryo with a curious tone.
"I-I forgot something q-quite important, and why the hell are you in here for!" exclaimed the King.
"Because, I'm looking for something also. Problem?" asked Ryo with a smart-ass tone.
"You have some nerve to speak to your Master like that!" yelled the King going red in the face.
"I don't have time for chit-chat. Now, tell me where--".
Ryo then froze and looked over the King's shoulder. He then noticed Sonic trying to crack the code to this safe behind a huge painting of a Castle.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Ryo zooming over to Sonic.
Ryo then grabbed Sonic's arms and threw him over his head. Sonic screamed and landed right beneath the King's feet.
"What the bloody hell is going on here! Ryo! Explain yourself!" shouted the King furiously.
"He followed me and--".
"Shut up you pest!" boomed the King, indicating his stare at Sonic. "Just shut up! I didn't ask you!".
Ryo just ignored the King and started trying to crack the code of the safe. Sonic then got up on all-fours and started crawling over to Ryo. He got directly behind Ryo's legs, grasped them tightly, and pulled strongly.
Ryo was not expecting this and was flipped onto his back onto the cold, hard, marble floor. Sonic got up and climbed over Ryo's injured body. Ryo grunted with pain, and the only thing he could do, was bite him of course.
Ryo opened his mouth wide and chomped down on Sonic's leg. Sonic screamed a blood-curdling scream and immediately put pressure on his leg where it was bitten. Sonic removed his hand and realised his white gloves were stained with blood.
"God damn you to hell Ryo" cursed Sonic in intense pain.
"Been there, done that" said Ryo shrugging.
Sonic stood up straight and was just about to lunge at Ryo when another gun-shot rocked their hearing. Both of the hedgehogs turned around and saw the King pointing a gun at them both.
"Whoa" whispered Sonic faintly to himself.
"Don't move, or I will shoot!" yelled the King, his hands shaking.
Ryo then put his hands on the safe and started twisting the knob while still staring at the King. The King then cursed and shot at Ryo's hand. Ryo quickly moved his hand away at the last second. The bullet had gone through, knocking the knob off of the safe, which then swung open.
The three men just stared at what was inside. A glass vile, filled with a purple-coloured liquid. The silence was then interupted by the King.
"IT'S MINE! DON'T TOUCH IT!" wailed the King who lunged forward, knocking both Sonic and Ryo to the ground.
The King grabbed the glass vile and held it up like it was the most expensive, precious thing in the whole world.
"This, is my elixir. No one elses, it's only my elixir" stated the King emphasising his words.
"Hey! I worked for you all these years! Everything you've said to do, I've done it" shouted Ryo getting up and looking the King dead in the eye.
"Oh shut your trap" snapped the King.
"NO!" boomed Ryo. "I've done everything for you! I even did that mission you sent me on to drown Sonic in that lake!".
"WHAT!" screamed Sonic, rage passing through his face. "That was you who set him up to this!".
"Well, there had to be some way to get rid of you. And by making Ryo kill you, I wouldn't be blamed for anything to do with your death. But sadly, he didn't succeed".
"I cannot believe this! You tried to kill me! You don't even deserve to live!".
"Well now I've got this elixir, I'll live no matter what you do".
"Not if I can help it!".
Sonic then got up and took one step forward towards the King, then he froze.
"One more move, and I'll blast you to the high heaven's and back" stated the King pointing a silver gun at Sonic menacingly.
Sonic froze and looked at the gun with wide eyes.
"Wait, I've seen that gun before" said Ryo with a confused look on his face.
"Well, it was the same type of gun that would've killed your parents" stated the King looking at Ryo.
Ryo just looked at the gun with wide eyes and was speechless.
"A silver bullet..." whispered Ryo to himself.
"Clever boy. And Ryo, as you know, this is your weakness, am I correct?" asked the King smirking.
"You bastard!" boomed Ryo.
"I wouldn't curse at me if I were you. I can kill you in just one shot" stated the King.
"Well guess what you bastard" smirked Ryo. "I can kill you just as fast".
Ryo closed his eyes and his skin then started bubbling. It was like the ripples in the ocean and on the dry sand. His original claimed form fell onto the floor and inside of the bubbling muck, stood another form of the King.
"What the!" cursed the King. "You-you transformed into me!".
Then the King's eyes went wide when Ryo pulled out a silver gun, just like the one in the King's hands and pointed it directly at his forehead.
"I think, the tables have turned" smirked Ryo who pressured his finger on the trigger. "I get every weapon that the person I turn into has".
"You coward!" exclaimed the King.
Ryo then dropped the gun on the ground and closed his eyes.
"Yes, that's the way to go. Surrender is always better then--".
The King got cut off by Ryo's skin bubbling...again. Ryo's King form then fell off and his 'normal' claimed orange/cream hedgehog form was back in place. Ryo picked up the gun and pointed it at the King.
"Hand me the elixir, or I'll put it this way, you'll die" grinned Ryo.
The King, then looked to the left, and looked to the right. He then turned around and started running flat out towards the enterance. Ryo growled and aimed the gun on the King's back. Sonic jumped onto Ryo causing him to drop the gun.
"What the hell are you doing! I was gonna' kill him! After all of the stuff he did to you, you saved him!" cried Ryo.
"No, I didn't save him. I'm simply trying to disarm you, so I can have that gun" stated Sonic.
"You did that already! Now get off you worthless piece of trash!" yelled Ryo.
Ryo punched Sonic off and grabbed the gun. He then hastily aimed it at the King who was literally 2 centimetres away from the exit.
The King grabbed the door, which was hanging on byone hinge, and struggled to get it open. He finally got it open and when he did, he flew back with great force.
Sonic and Ryo froze and looked in astonishment at what had just happened. The King had flown across the room. Sonic then glanced at the door and his eyes grew wide. There, standing in the doorway, was Shadow, Knuckles and Tails.
Shadow had Elle hung over his left shoulder and was smirking. Knuckles was obviously the one who had made the King fly across the room because of his triumphant grin. Tails was hovering with Amy in his hands. He then let Amy go and Shadow carefully laid Elle down.
Sonic got up and rushed over to them.
"How on Earth did you guys get here!" exclaimed Sonic actually smiling.
"We heard the bang from our Kingdom. I know, we actually heard it it was that big" claimed Shadow.
"That's when we came, saw Elle and Amy, asked them questions about what happened and where you were, and then we rushed here to find you" explained Knuckles.
"Do you know how long it took us to find this room!" sighed Tails.
"You're here now anyway!" exclaimed Sonic grinning.
Ryo then zoomed towards the King and knocked him down to the floor. He stood over him and glared down at him.
"Give me the vile!" strained Ryo clenching his fists.
Ryo rose the gun and aimed it at the King's head. His index finger was quivering on the trigger of the silver gun. At that moment, the King rose his gun up and aimed it at Ryo's face.
"Two men, two guns. It almost seems too cliche" scoffed Ryo.
Ryo's grin then wiped off of his face when he was knocked to the ground by Knuckles. The gun in Ryo's hand flew towards the direction of Amy. Amy reached down for the gun and pointed it in Ryo's direction.
"Freeze God damn it!" cried Amy.
The gun was quivering in her hands. She kept switching her aim from Ryo to the King. The King then gradually got up and kept switching aim also. Ryo was the only one who was disarmed.
It was so silent, you could've heard a pin drop. You could actually feel the tension in the air. Then, Ryo started laughing. Everyone looked at Ryo strangely and confused.
"Shape-shifter!" stated Ryo shaking his head.
Ryo's skin then started bubbling, and everyone's gasps were stuck their throat. He then shocked everyone by turning into Amy Rose. He smirked and pulled out the same silver gun Amy was holding. He then placed it on the floor and turned back into his 'normal' form.
"Now three people can play at this game" smirked Ryo.
All three of them kept glancing at one another's each and every move. Then the final moment came.
"It's time to end this" stated the King hardening his hand on the gun.
It was then silent. Everyone was watching...waiting...until...
BANG!
The final gun-shot rocked the room. Amy stared with wide eyes and looked down at her lower-half. Ryo just stared blankly and wasn't blinking. The King's eyes were twitching and he was also not blinking. Then, Sonic gasped.
