Chapter 19
You Don't Know Anything!
Amy's P.O.V.
(N/A This is early in the morning)
I stood still with the girls as Coach, Dr Marco and Mr Rich, along with the older members of our team spoke to us.
"Before we begin your daily training, we have to make a security check on you girls so that there won't be anything that could disrupt your training..." said Mr Rich.
"We have a set of rules we need you girls to follow..." Mr Rich continued.
I mentally rolled my eyes 'More rules?!'
"First thing, we want you girls to not use your powers unless it is needed..." said Mr Rich.
As soon as he finished the sentence, the girls started to shout out protests. Well, mostly Jamie and Raven were.
"No way! I have my powers for a reason!" protested Raven
"Yeah! Besides it's not like my water powers could do any harm!" argued Jamie.
"GIRLS! What is done is done! Obey the rules, that's all we're asking" ordered Flame as the girls crossed their arms and mumbled incoherent things.
"Thank you son...Moonlight, I understand that you have been trying to control your powers, but they're too unstable, and we can't risk anyone's saftey and the security of this facility...I hope you can understand..." Mr Rich said as Dr Marco approached his daughter with a black box in his hands.
He opened it to reveal 4 rings. 4 restrictor rings to be exact. 'Just like the ones Shadow has...'
"Put one ring on each of your wrists and ankles, they won't stop you from using your powers, but they'll make them stable enough for you to control them..." said Dr Marco as M.L. put them on.
"Alright, now Raven, your bat wings-" Mr Rich started.
"OH HECK NO! THESE DON'T COME OFF! THEY'RE A PART OF ME!" Raven exclaimed as she held one of her wings for dear life while the others tried to stifle their laughters.
"You're supposed to put on a harness so you don't have to depend on your wings so much..." Mr Rich said as Dr Marco approached Raven with a harness, just like the ones Star and Darius wear.
"These are just to put them away neatly..." said Dr Marco as he helped her with the harness. It 'clicked' to show that it was fastened on her back.
"It's not like I ever use them..." mumbled Raven.
"And finally, Amelia, we need your hammer..." said Mr Rich.
"WHAT?!" I blurted out as the others snickered.
"I'm sorry Amelia but since you're a beginner in training, you have to learn the basics, you'll get it back when your training is about weaponry...I'm sorry" Mr Rich clarified as he stuck out his hand in front of me.
I looked at him, then pulled out my hammer and handed to him.
I pouted a bit as Mr Rich gave my Piko hammer to Dr Marco.
"Alright then, lets get started on your training, WARM-UPS NOW!" Coach bellowed as we all groaned.
Shadow's P.O.V.
(N/A this is also in the morning)
I pushed away all the paperwork on my desk. I sighed in frustration.
'Why haven't I found her yet?! I rarely ever take a long time to find a missing person!'
'It's been two months...how could she not turn up by now...'
Another tired sigh escaped me as I held my head in my hands.
~Ding-Dong~
I raised my head. 'Who could be here at this time of day?! And who would want to visit me?!'
My ears perked up again from the sound of exessive ringing.
Whoever's out there must have a death threat...' I thought irritatingly as I headed for the door.
I turned the knob of the door, only to shut it back again in the visitor's face. 'Of all people, why him?!'
I turned and went to the living room as I heard the door open.
"Well Shadow, I see that you're the same person as always..." Silver said as he closed the door, holding two starbucks cups and a paper bag with the logo on it.
"Get out." I said strictly as I sat lazily on my couch.
"Aw c'mon Shadow, I rarely ever see ya..." said Silver as he went inside the living room.
"I'm serious, Silver..." I said.
"Oh, nice to meet ya Serious, my name is Sliver..." Silver said with a chuckle as I glared at him.
"Aw lighten up, I got starbucks..." Silver said holding up the cups. I wasn't convinced yet as I eyed him.
"Black coffee with cream and no sugar?" I asked.
"Your favorite, and I got some caramel cookies too..." he said as he raised the paper bag.
I eyed him and the goods he brought. "Fine you could stay..." I said as I got up to go to the kitchen as Silver did a fist pump.
Silver is probably the only one who I could tolerate, other than Rouge and the emerald guardian. All the others are probably unbearable. Well, mostly that blue faker is the unbearable one now that I think of it.
"Here Shadow, this is yours..." Silver gave me a cup as he drank out of his own.
He set down the paper bag as I took a sip from my coffee. 'Wow, he got it right this time..' I thought.
"Alright you can stay..." I said a Silver threw me a confused look. "But you said that I was already staying..." Silver said.
"Yeah, but my real intention was to swipe my coffee and shove you out the door, but that's old news..." I said as I headed back to the living room.
"You really are in some desperate need for manners, Shadow..." said Silver as he followed me.
"So how's it going? G.U.N. making ya work too hard?" Silver asked, trying to strike up a conversation.
I stay silent as I drank my coffee. "Well, I see you don't wanna talk..." Silver said.
"I guess you finshed a mission since you're here, taking the day off, I just wish we had the same luck with our mission..." Silver said as I looked up at him.
"What mission?..." I asked curiously. Silver threw me a saddened look. Then it dawned on me. "You're searching for Rose, along with the rest of them, aren't you?"
"Yeah, and so far we haven't found her and we haven't found anything to lead us to her..." Silver said. 'Of course, I would've found it before any of you could think of it...'
I pondered a bit until "May I ask, why would you search for Rose?" I asked as I caught him off guard. "W-Why wouldn't I search for Amy? She's a member of the team and a great friend!" exclaimed Silver.
"I understand that, but didn't she lead you on a cat-and-mouse journey to find the blue faker, across deserts, cities and towns? Day and Night, only to defend the faker in the end? Remember?" I pointed out.
"Yeah, yeah she did, but she made up for them when she would tell me about the world..." Silver affirmed. I looked at him as he explained
"Sure, in the day we would walk miles, and even though she would talk almost endlessly about Sonic, sshe would sometimes make the travel worthwhile. She would speak to me about how the world was and how were the people here and how they at least lived in harmony..." Silver said as I rolled my eyes.
"harmony? What Harmony? People are in danger everyday. I don't see any harmony..." I said, emphasizing the words.
"I know that, but this present was a 100 times better than the present I was living in the future..." He said as I remembered.
"Even though I doubted what Amy said about harmony and peace, I never doubted the small wisdom that came with the way she talks. I would sometimes think that she had experienced what went on in the world and was here to tell her story..." Silver said.
I held the steaming coffee in my hands as I thought about it. 'Her words certainly have a way on some people, if not all of Mobius...'
"So that's the reason why you're searching for Rose, because of her words?!" I said.
"No, because that kind of wisdom and purity didn't need to end up in the hands of foolishness and trash..." Silver said, looking slightly annoyed.
I thought about it more as I drank my coffee. 'He has a point that no one could deny. Rose is innocent and pure...of course innocence is always targeted first...'
"But I guess the most one that's being troubled by this mission is Sonic..." Silver said as I looked back at him.
"Faker? Being troubled? Ha, that's certainly a first..." I snorted
Silver shot me an annoyed glance. "I'm serious, he's become more determined than before to find Amy, especially to apologize for what he said" Silver concluded. That got my attention.
"What did he say?" I asked. Silver looked at me in a solemn manner
"I see that Rouge didn't tell you yet..." Silver said sadly
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Silver, if this has anything to do with Rose, then tell me what exaclty Sonic had said" I said.
Silver looked at me in a depressed manner "Alright...it starts out like this..."
"SHADOW WAIT! DON'T DO THIS!" Silver called from behind me as I furiously headed for the door. 'THAT DAMN FAKER DID THAT TO HER?! I'LL KILL HIM!'
"Silver, watch the house while I'm gone" I headed for the door, but Silver came and blocked me.
"Look, don't go and do something you'll regret, Shadow! I know that look on your face! You're going out to do something way outta line! Don't!" Silver reasoned but I wouldn't hear any of it. Murder was set on my mind for the moment and there's no reasoning for me.
"Oh believe me Silver, this I won't regret" I said as I pushed him aside and left out the door.
I pulled out my green Chaos emerald "CHAOS CONTROL!"
'Faker...you're gonna pay for what you said to Rose...'
Normal P.O.V.
In the deep forests of the Mystic Ruins, a green flash lit up in the trees. The furious black hedgehog scanned the area.
'He's supposed to be here by now...' the black hedgehog thought.
Just a moment, for a split second, a streak of blue made it's way past the trees. 'Found you...Faker' Shadow thought as he dashed right after the blue blur.
He caught up to him, running right beside him, but Sonic didn't notice his presence until...
~SLAM!~
Shadow had caught Sonic in a chokehold with one hand and Sonic's back against one of the trees.
Sonic looked shocked or surprised, to Shadow's own surprise, as he tried to choke out some words "Shadow...what are y-you doing?..." he gasped out
"Why?" Shadow said
Sonic looked confused, but let out a cry when Shadow tightened his grip. "W-What do you want?!"
"To know why! Why the hell would you say that to her?! Of all the trash in the world you decided to let your anger out on an innocent person?! ONE THAT IS YOUR COMRAD?!"
Sonic couldn't breathe, he was turning blue and was about to black out. Shadow realised this and loosened his grip, and watched the blue hedgehog fall to the ground coughing and gasping for air.
"W-Who *cough* are you talking about? *cough* *cough*" Sonic coughed out as he held his throat
"YOU KNOW WHO! ROSE! AMY ROSE! THE PINK HEDGEHOG! THE ONE YOU FUCKIN' DISGRACED IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!" Shadow swore at him.
Sonic widened his eyes as he looked up at Shadow. "H-How did you know tha-" he was cut off by a punch from Shadow.
"It doesn't matter!" Shadow said as he punched Sonic again, sending him towards another tree.
"STOP SHADOW! LEMME SAY SOMETHING DAMMIT-OOF!" Another punch by Shadow.
"What's wrong Faker? Is the guilt getting to you yet? Are you mad?" Shadow said as he edged closer.
Sonic glared at him.
"You are mad, just like how mad you were when you said that Rose was a fuck-up, aren't you?"
Sonic shook his head "I-I never said that, I could never-"
"YES YOU DID! YOU DID AND YOU DIDN'T REGRET IT! IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF YOU'RE INSULTING SOMEONE!" Shadow shouted.
"No, you don't get it-" Sonic protested
"DON'T GET IT?! I MAY HAVE DONE BAD DEEDS IN THE PAST BUT I WOULD NEVER INSULT ANYONE I WOULD CONSIDER A COMRAD, LET ALONE A FRIEND! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT ROSE IS GONE IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
Sonic stood up "No no it isn't-"
"OH REALLY?! SHE FUCKING BELIEVED IN YOU AND YOU END UP CRUSHING HER! SHE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE, PROBABLY DEAD AND ROTTING IN AN ALLEY, BECAUSE SHE PROBABLY KNEW THAT FIGHTING BACK WAS HOPELESS FOR HER!"
Sonic opened his mouth to speak, but Shadow continued.
"I WOULD KNOW THAT BECAUSE SHE KNEW SHE WAS CALLED WORTHLESS BY HER OWN HERO! DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND ANYTHING?! OR IS YOU GODDAMN PRIDE COMING IN YOUR WAY AGAIN?!"
Sonic started fuming "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AMY! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE HER FRIEND!"
"WELL AT LEAST I COULD ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE INSTEAD OF BEING A PRIDEFUL PRICK LIKE YOU!" Shadow ranted
"WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU CARE ABOUT ANYONE AT ALL?! YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN A DAMN ABOUT ANYONE EVER SINCE YOUR FRIEND MARIA DIED! AND THAT WAS MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AGO!" Sonic retorted.
Shadow stayed silent, although he was trying hard to control his strength and not possibly obliterate Sonic.
"AND NOW YOU'RE COMING UP TO ME AND TELLING ME TO TAKE CARE OF MY FRIENDS?! GUESS WHAT FAKER? AMY ISN'T MARIA, SO MOVE THE FUCK O-" Sonic was cut off by a punch to the face by an enraged Shadow.
"YOU." Sonic was kicked by Shadow.
"DON'T." Sonic was punched in the face.
"KNOW." Punch in the gut by Shadow.
"ANYTHING!" Sonic was sent flying across the forest.
Sonic landed on the ground with a 'thud' and some skids. "GET UP FAKER!" He heard Shadow's voice bellow across the forest.
This isn't going to be settled easily. Sonic got up 'Fine Faker, you want a fight, you're gonna get one...' he thought as he turned to see a black figure charge at him.
"FAKER!" They both shouted as they charged at each other.
AHH FINALLY! SOME ACTION!
It was getting a little boring, don'tcha think? XP
The fight between Sonic and Shadow will be in the next chappie! ^.^
Cyro: Will there be blood?
There will be blood...yes...
