Mai: El Nino season is killing me!
Sonic: What does that mean?
Mai: It's a name of the sunny season here in the Philippines and it's kind of evaporating my ideas!
Sonic: You're a Filipina?
Mai: Yeah but I write English to make it easier.
Sonic: And what is the name of the Rainy season?
Mai: La Nina. I want it to COME! I don't own anything! *cries about no rain lately* I don't own anything. (Should I seriously stop saying this? Nah, I'll get in trouble if I stop)
Sonic's pov
I led everyone to the place where I fought that huge vine. Like I said before, it's a desert but there are no colors…nothing except black and white. This place is color-less, a perfect place where Eggman is…it's really obvious anybody could tell, didn't the voice say Amy and Dawn's mother will be here? The actual missing queen is now being found and I have a feeling both of them would ask a lot of questions… I included. Why did she disappear? That's the question in my mind and that might be what everyone is thinking right now, I even saw them busy thinking about it. Does she have a connection with Eggman? It is more likely that the both of them are enemies, mortally. But what about the late King? What connection does he have with Eggman? He never mentioned anything except for being suspicious about him, so it's kind of a mystery…Ouch! Great, I hit my head on something. I looked up and found this HUGE grey rock wall up to…I don't know where! I also notice everyone amazed at this wall except Shadow…of course, the cool and calm type. The weird part is that this never appeared when I was here…Eggman, he must have saw me battling or struggling with the vine that he must have this here.
Shadow was the first one to talk, "Not what I'd expected."
"Why on Earth would this appear?" Amy said while she is looking at the wideness "No place should have a wide wall like this, it reached to…I don't know where! Wait…Sonic! Run up that wall!" I knew someone would say this!
"Wait a minute; the wall has some strange vine statues sticking out."Rouge mentioned. She flew up and sort of climbed the wall, moving away from the vines and before we knew it she came to the top of the wall! Personally and secretly, I can't run up this wall because I can run up wall in a straight line and can only move sideways just a little so I will have trouble because these vines (Ugh, don't get me started on my vine battle!) are all over the place and required more movement.
"Well I'm up, don't suppose you guys would you know, ask me to find a way to crack this wall?"Rouge asked in an obvious way.
"Hey bat girl, I'll crack the wall! I suggest you come down here!"Knuckles yelled annoyingly and Rouge IS getting annoyed!
"Well Knucklehead, if you're so confident in that, then why don't we have a race on who can crack the wall first? Come up here and-"
"I'm already up here!"Whoa, how did Knuckles get up there quickly? And this is the first time that I heard some competition between those two. Wow this is getting interesting.
"Um Guys, there are some fist markings here. I saw these while Rouge was talking."Cream said. I took a look at the marks and they are indeed his.
"Sonic! I can't see them there!"Dawn yelled and WHAT! They're quick indeed, not long before I know it; I heard some serious beatings on the wall that dust and crumbles came about. You know, they're working together than competing each other; this is getting interesting and WEIRD!
"They know how to buff up for this."Shadow added and i have a feeling in my gut that something dangerous would come…
Normal pov
Ever since the heroes found their way towards the color-less wasteland, Eggman became enraged from their progress and what's worse is that…
"The queen is ALIVE! Oooh, that makes me so mad! I'd like it if she disappeared forever!"Eggman yelled out of rage. Maxwell became calm due to the fact he'd already done something to the heroes.
"Your Evil Highness, I just made a wall of dark magic to the height of the very sky and the width land of this very land."He explained.
"Yeah, I saw that wall alright but that bat and echidna are trying to crack the wall, how is that any good?"
"I made the stone vines to life! They'll move and try to squeeze them!"Maxwell explained.
"Hmmm…alright, I'll accept that, you may be excused."He said as Maxwell left the room. Eggman laughed like a mad scientist trying to build an empire on the whole world.
Shadow's pov
Great…just as we get closer to finishing off that good for nothing mad man, a tall obstacle came about and what's worse is the both Rouge and Knuckles are hogging all the fun in that but I felt like something is going seriously wrong, I saw the wall glowing simultaneously from purple to black and the vines started to move!
"Great, don't remind me of the vine battle I had."Sonic added while looking determined "But these things won't make me stop if I slice them!"
"No! They're STONE! We can't cut it!"Tails yelled.
Dawn started yelling, "Please, we need to think about something!"
"We can't do anything about stone! If we try attacking it, it will waste our efforts since it can't damage it! Even Sonic's Homing Attack can't damage it!"Tails yelled back, Dawn became speechless.
"B-but…"
I started talking, "Listen to me Dawn, I know it's hard to take about something like this but you have to accept it, it's the way of life. Sometimes there are these moments where we can't do anything but hope for something to happen, like the time I met you."
"Huh?"
"Before I met you, I endured everything the hard way since my past is a tragedy but then I met Sonic and the others. When I met you, you are surely the only person that I can trust towards feelings and emotions. So you see, we can't always rely on our skills and sometimes rely on luck."I-I've never said anything like this before. But I felt something in my heart that felt warm and pleasant; I've never felt this way before.
"Wow, I've never heard you say anything like that before. Must be new for you."Tails said.
"Yeah I mean…well, I won't mock you about it."Sonic said without a trace of mockery.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything…"Hm? Cream said all of a sudden.
"But the vines are trying to reach out to us!"She yelled as she jumped to dodge one and now, we're practically jumping and dodging away from them. (As for Sonic, I guess this isn't his day for vines aren't it?)Knuckles, Rouge…hurry up!
Rouge's pov
What's with all the commotion on the other side? Like I hear jumping and a little shake on the wall…anyways, I kept kicking like mad on the wall to crumble it while Knuckles punch his way through.
"Don't think you can win. I'll crack the wall before you even know it!"He yelled as I got excited for the challenge.
"What makes you so confident? You're like someone with all bark and no bite!"I mocked him and I heard him growl like a dog! Oh man…
"Watch that mouth!"
"Oh yeah? Then why don't we-"
"For crying out loud, STOP IT!"Amy yelled terribly LOUD and desperate!
"While you two are arguing and yelling thrash, we have to jump, dodge and survive from these freaky vines and it's SO not my day for vines! You guys have to work TOGETHER to help US here! And no more of the YELLING and the ARGUING!"Whoa, this is the loudest shout that I heard from Sonic! Alright…
"…What do say Rouge?"
"Yeah, we're they're only hope now so…get cracking!" We're cracking the wall like MAD after the yelling.
Normal pov
While those two stopped arguing and started working together on one area, the others on the other side kept jumping and dodging for a while that they all seem tired but because of how energetic and crazy the vines are that they couldn't take a single second break.
Tails became annoyed on how long those two are taking, "What's taking them so long?"
Shadow replied with a more angry tone, "If those two don't hurry up, I'm SO going to give them something they deserve!"
"How can you if we don't make it?" Dawn said, which made Shadow take in…
"Good point, but if they don't…"
"Stop it, they'll hurry…eventually…"Sonic said while dodging another vine by moving right quickly.
"Or now."Everyone took a look on the wall and saw that those two finished with a huge semi circle hole in the wall. Because the wall has a hole, it dissolved in a black smoke with the vines moving panicky while dissolved as well in a black smoke. Everyone breathe a sign of relief.
"Well…that was timely."Sonic said.
"What do you expect? The both of us fighting still? We stopped so, let's continue."Knuckles said. They walked liked no wall has even appeared. Though everyone continued thinking about what's next, Dawn was thinking of something else…
What Shadow said was really heartwarming…I-I should thank him for that…
She approached him, "Shadow."
"Hm?"
"Thank you, that was a nice lesson…also, that is very nice and pleasant for you to say that."She said. He gave a smile that no one has ever seen from him, dawn blushed but tried to hide it from him…Sonic smirked on what he heard from them.
Sonic: Done?
Mai: Done. Almost the end of my story but this wasteland has more parts because this is the last place of their adventure.
Sonic: By the way, Shadow I've never seen you smile like that.
Shadow: Quiet, you faker.
