KINGDOM HEARTS: SONIC VERSION
Chapter Thirty-Three: The Gems of Darkness, Part 4
After returning from their battle against Devil Doom, Sonic and his friends reappeared in the gathering chamber of Hollow Bastion. Storm was the last to appearbefore the dark portal vanished as quickly as it appeared. But that didn't at all concern them. The only thing that was on Sonic's mind was Espio and his challenge. Sonic knew it would be tough since the chameleon now had his own Keyblade. But before he could worry about that, he needed to find him first.
"Where do we go now?" Angel asked.
"We have to find the Grand Hall like Espio said." Silver explained. "But I don't see any entrance."
But just as Silver said those words, a cloud of darkness emerged from beneath the side wall. When the darkness vanished, an arched entrance could be found in its place.
"That's convenient." Marine said.
They swiftly dived through the arch into a small intersection filled with a horde of feeble Shadow Heartless. But they didn't take long to defeat with Naruto's clones. With the last of the Heartless gone, they walked through the door on the other side of the room. They soon found themselves inside the Grand Hall where the seven princesses were being held captive. The room was eerily dark and filled with evil; Dark Sonic would feel threatened in this room. Though hesitantly, they walked along the carpet floor, where they found the six females inside the crystal containers.
"Look, its Rui and Zelda!" Storm exclaimed.
True to his word, Rui and Zelda were seen side-by-side next to a pink dragon.
"Bonza! Another dragon!" Marine cheered. "She reminds me of that one dragon, mate."
"You mean Spyro?" Sonic asked. "Then that must mean this is Ember."
All of a sudden, something flashed inside Sonic's quills. He reached up and pulled out the Dragon Roar summoning gem. It flashed brilliantly, taking Angel and Marine in its place. A moment later, Spyro appeared.
"Ember?" Spyro asked desperately. It didn't take long for him to notice the pink dragon. He looked like he on the deg of crying when he saw her sleeping form. "Ember! Don't worry, I'll get you out!"
Spyro headbutted the crystal case, but his horns didn't even leave a scratch. He tried using his fire, ice, lightning, and earth breaths, but he one failed after the other. Silver and Storm were tried to break the other princesses out with their strength and magic, but they were unsuccessful. He turned to Naruto and found the fox boy pounding at a container holding a pink haired girl his age.
"Sakura!" Naruto yelled. "Sakura, wake up! It's me, Naruto!"
But try as they might, everyone's attempts were wasted. Suddenly, Sonic could feel a strong light resonating from within his chest. He felt that he had three hearts instead of one. He knew one of them belonged to Dark Sonic, but the other was a mystery. He looked up the small set of stairs and saw the golden heart at the top. Something told him he needed to be there.
"What is that?" Sonic whispered, walking up the stairs.
"Where's Sonic going?" Storm asked, noticing his little friend leaving.
"I don't know." Silver replied. "But we better make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."
Sonic raced up to the top of the stairs; his heart pounding with each step. He quickly reached the top under the shadow of the golden heart. Silver joined along side him, but Storm was thrown back by an invisible barrier.
"Storm, you ok?" Silver asked.
"I'm fine." Storm groaned. He reached out and felt the barrier. "Where did this come from?"
"It's a trap!" Silver stated. "Sonic, we've got to get out of here!"
But Sonic paid no attention to his warnings. All his attention was centered around Amy's lifeless body placed upon the ground. The strange sensation returned to Sonic's heart, only more stronger. This made Sonic worried for some reason. He quickly ran over to Amy and grasped her body with his arms. His fears were confirmed; Amy's body felt stone cold.
"Amy!" Sonic exclaimed as he tried to shake her away. "Amy, open your eyes!"
"Such attempts are wasted."
Sonic turned his attention from Amy towards the top of the golden heart, where Espio could be found. Espio sat there with a malevolent expression while grasping the Dark Keyblade in hand. Sonic gently set Amy back down and glared at his former friend. Sonic had never known such hatred than what he was feeling now.
"What are you talking about?" Sonic growled.
"I would think it was obvious." Espio grinned. "That girl has lost her heart. As long as it remains missing, she will never wake up."
"Wait a minute!" Sonic exclaimed. "Even if he was evil, Espio would still care about Amy! What have you done to him?!"
"I have freed this boy from his prison." 'Espio' said. He hopped down from his pedestal and gently glided down below the golden heart. "What really matters now is that the last princess must be awake in order to complete the keyhole."
"Princess?" Sonic questioned before he realized. "Amy's a princess!"
"The princess of this very world to be exact." 'Espio' stated. "She is the last piece need to solve the puzzle. Once she awakes, the darkness will be freed and all light shall be extinguished."
"You're mad!" Silver yelled.
"What you call madness, I call genius." 'Espio' said. "I have gone beyond the boundaries of light and darkness."
"I don't care who you are!" Sonic shouted. "Give Espio back his heart!"
"I will." 'Espio' chuckled. "As soon as you return the princess's heart!"
Sonic stared at 'Espio' as if he were crazy. How could he have Amy's heart when he has been looking for her this entire time? But just as this thought ran through him, 'Espio' held out the Dark Keyblade towards Sonic. Out of nowhere, a sharp pain entered one of the three hearts as if the Dark Keyblade had stabbed it. Sonic groaned loudly and fell to his knees.
"Sonic, what's happening?" Silver asked worriedly.
"I don't know." Sonic moaned. "What's going on?"
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" 'Espio' asked. "The princess's heart is responding. It has been there all along. Amy's heart rests within you!"
"A-Amy's inside me." Sonic gasped.
"How do you know all this?" Silver glared.
"I know all that there is to know." 'Espio' stated. "From the beginning I knew this day would come to pass."
"Tell me, who are you?" Sonic questioned.
"I guess you deserve to know." 'Espio' grinned. "It is I, Mephiles, the Seeker of Darkness."
Silver and Sonic gasped in shock. They had heard a great deal about Mephiles and his contributions against the heartless. No one would ever believe the brave ruler to be the cause of the heartless. While Sonic was still processing this, Mephiles made his way to the blue hedgehog while his Dark Keyblade clutched tight.
"If you want to get to him, you'll have to go through me!" Silver roared.
But Mephiles paid no mind to him. Even as Silver ran up to strike, Mephiles merely swatted him away with his hand. Silver was thrown across the room and beyond the barrier. Mephiles came up to Sonic and held the Dark Keyblade to his head.
"I will release you now, princess." Mephiles chanted darkly. "Complete the keyhole with your power. Open the door, lead me into everlasting darkness!"
Mephiles swung up the Dark Keyblade with a maddening look on his face. He swung it down with great force, knowing that nothing would be able to stop him. Sonic wanted to fight back, but the pain in his heart was too much to handle. When he realized his death was at hand, he began here voices. Voices he knew from somewhere.
"Don't give up, son!" Aleena called
"Be strong, Keyblade Master!" Zoan yelled.
"Sonic!" Amy cried.
Those voices somehow brought Sonic back to full strength. In a blinding flash, Sonic summoned they Keyblade and halted its dark copy's attack. Mephiles looked on in shock as Sonic stated to force him back.
"Forget it!" Sonic roared. "There is no way I am letting you take Amy's heart!"
Sonic pushed Mephiles back fully and watch as the dark seeker flipped back onto his feet. Sonic held his Keyblade in a battled position, but that did not concern Mephiles. He actually seemed to be more intrigued by the weapon itself.
"So, I finally see on of the Four Paths with my own eyes." Mephiles grinned.
"Four Paths?" Sonic repeated. "What are you talking about?"
"I guess I can tell you, seeing as it won't matter in a moment." Mephiles said. "In the universe there are four notable elements that create it: Light, Darkness, Dawn, and Twilight. These four elements were so power; four special weapons were forged from them. The four weapons spawned others like themselves. They took the form of blades that resembled keys."
"The Keyblade." Sonic realized.
"Exactly." Mephiles said. "Many wanted these Keyblades, but the keys would never accept them as their masters. As such, many began forging there own weapons in the shape of keys. This event led to the creation of the False Keyblades and the Keyblade War. The one you possess is known as the Keyblade of Light. But such a weapon is too powerful for you to control." Mephiles held out his hands in expectation. "Hand it over so I can fulfill its destiny."
"Forget it!" Sonic exclaimed. "You took both my homes, separated me from my parents, and corrupted my best friend! If you think I'm gonna hand it over after all that, you're out of your mind!"
"Very well." Mephiles smirked. "Have it your way."
Mephiles drew forth the Dark Keyblade and the final battle for Hollow Bastion had begun. Sonic started off by running up to Mephiles and throwing down his Keyblade vertically. But Mephiles merely dodge to the side and swung the Dark Keyblade around once on his feet. Luckily, Sonic curved backward so that the weapon barely missed him by an inch. But Mephiles had already anticipated the tactic and brought his foot up to Sonic's face. Sonic tumbled towards the direction of the keyhole while Mephiles charged straight at him. Just as Sonic stopped, Mephiles stabbed his Dark Keyblade down upon him. Acting fast, Sonic grasped Mephiles by the shoulders and flipped over him before the Dark Keyblade reached it's target. Once he landed, Sonic swung around and cut across Mephiles back with the Keyblade. Mephiles fell to his knees, but looked perfectly unharmed.
"Simply amazing." Mephiles chuckled. "You truly are the Keyblade Master."
"What did you expect?" Sonic grinned. "There's a reason the Keyblade chose me."
"Even though the Keyblade originally belong to Espio, I cannot argue." Mephiles said, turning around. "But of course this mean I have to get serious."
"You've got to be kidding me." Sonic groaned.
Mephiles held out his hand as it suddenly as a surge of electricity surrounded it. Without warning, Mephiles threw out his hand and an electric disk erupted from his palm. The disk hit Sonic, but it wasn't as bad as he expected. But that was quickly changed when Mephiles ran up and stabbed his shoulder with the Dark Keyblade. Sonic clutched his shoulder and remained firmed, despite the pain. But Mephiles spun around on his heels and cut across Sonic twice to knock him to the ground.
"Are you ready to surrender yet?" Mephiles questioned.
"Not in this lifetime." Sonic said.
"I guess that's good, seeing as you won't have one." Mephiles chuckled.
Mephiles brought down the Dark Keyblade, but Sonic rolled away to the side. Unfortunately, the aftershock of the Dark Keyblade created a wall of electricity that crashed into Sonic. while Sonic was down, Mephiles attempted another stab at him. Sonic held up his Keyblade and blocked Mephiles' attack with the guard ring. Sonic kicked the dark seeker in the chest and flipped him over his head. Sonic quickly got up to his feet and swiped across Mephiles' chest several times before he had a chance to get up. Mephiles was thrown back to the barrier. Sonic swung his Keyblade down for the final blow when a sudden surge of electricity surrounded Mephiles' body. A random bolt struck Sonic the chest and sent him flying to the other side of the barrier. Sonic watched as Mephiles slowly drew to his feet with a crazed expression plastered on his face.
"Don't you see yet?" Mephiles said wildly. "The darkness is the ultimate weapon!"
"You're wrong!" Sonic stated. "I once thought that the Keyblade was the greatest weapon. But I soon realized there was something more powerful than any Keyblade: my heart."
"The heart is truly a magnificent power." Mephiles nodded. "But as powerful it is, it can be easily broken."
"You say you now everything, but you keep proving yourself wrong." Sonic chuckled. "My friends are always with me in my heart. As long as they never forget me, my heart shall never be broken."
"Wake up from your delusional fantasy." Mephiles said. "This is reality. Darkness is the strongest power in the universe."
"Oh, yeah?" Sonic replied. "Then prove it."
"With pleasure." Mephiles grinned.
Suddenly, all the light in the hall was absorbed by the Dark Keyblade. The Dark Keyblade started to hover into the air with its master along side it. before Sonic had time to realize it, Mephiles charged forward with blinding speed. Sonic dodged out of the way, only receiving a small gash at his side. he turned towards Mephiles direction, only to find that he had disappeared. Suddenly a dark portal opened to the side and Mephiles shot out of it like a cannon. Sonic dived out of the way, receiving a scratch on his back this time, as Mephiles disappeared through another dark portal. Mephiles repeated this step over and over again until Sonic was covered in nothing but bruises and cuts. Sonic fell to the ground and Mephiles landed in front of him.
"Such is the feeble power of the Keyblade Master." Mephiles smirked. "In the end, he was nothing more than a mere pawn."
"I'm...not done." Sonic moaned.
"Oh, but I think you are." Mephiles said, raising the Dark Keyblade. "And now we end this."
Mephiles swung down the Dark Keyblade, this time with no interference. As Sonic lay there, he began thinking why he was here. Hollow Bastion was his birth home; he wanted to take it back. Espio was his best friend; he needed to save him. And Amy...
"Amy, I..." Sonic whispered. "I won't give up!"
In an amazing outcome, Sonic somehow regained his strength and swung around his Keyblade. His Keyblade knocked away its dark copy and cut across Mephiles' chest. As Mephiles cried out in pain, Sonic realized he had won. Mephiles fell back to the floor in defeat. But the dark seeker did not give up that easily. He disappeared the moment he touched the ground, taking Espio with him.
"Hey, give Espio back!" Sonic shouted.
"Sonic, there's no time, mate!"
Sonic looked over to the dark keyhole that Black Doom created. Spyro's time was up and Angel and Marine were back. With Mephiles defeat, the barrier had disappeared and his friends were able to reach Sonic.
"We need to close the keyhole." Storm stated.
Sonic looked back to where Espio disappeared, but decided to worry about him later. He walked over to the dark keyhole and held his Keyblade to it. but to there disappointment, a beam of light did not come and close the keyhole.
"It won't work." Silver said. "The keyhole isn't finished yet."
"Maybe we should wake Amy up." Angel suggested.
"I think that's right." Sonic said, looking over to Amy's lifeless body. "If we can free her heart, the keyhole will be finished. But how do I get out of my own body?"
"How did you get it in the first place?" Marine asked.
"I don't know." Sonic shrugged.
He looked at Amy's lifeless form and felt helpless. How was he supposed free her heart when he doesn't even know how he got it in the first place? Then his eyes wandered to another item in the area: the Dark Keyblade. Sonic recalled Mephiles' words from when he introduced the Keyblade to them.
"Unlike yours, mine has the power to unlock people's hearts."
Without giving it a second thought, Sonic walked over to the Dark Keyblade. He slowly made his way over, partly not wanting to go through with it. But if it was to save Amy, then he had no choice. the others remained silent, but wondered what Sonic was up to. When they saw Sonic pick up the Dark Keyblade, their thoughts became clear.
"Wait, Sonic!" Silver exclaimed. "There has to be another way!"
"We'll think of something, we promise!" Storm yelled.
"Why are they yelling?" Marine asked, being the only one who didn't understand.
"Sonic's going to kill himself to save Amy!" Angel explained frantically.
"He can't do that!" Marine cried fearfully.
Despite all their desperate yells and cries, Sonic knew this had to be done. Sonic turned to his friends and surprised them all with a cheerful smile.
"Sorry, but this is the only way." Sonic said happily. "Silver, you are a great teacher; I was proud to be your student. Storm, you are big and strong, but you have the kindest heart. Angel, you gave up your happiness to help us, and for that I'll never forget you. Marine, I know you will grow up to be a great adventurer someday."
"Sonic, stop!" Marine cried hysterically.
"Later." Sonic said calmly.
Of all of the heroes, Marine was the only one who tried to stop him. But by the time she reached him, it was too late. Sonic had turned the Dark Keyblade and ran it through his own heart. The Dark Keyblade was suddenly engulfed by a bright light radiating from Sonic's chest. The Dark Keyblade pulled itself from the Keyblade Master and vanished from existence; replaced by six balls of light. The six balls of light floated towards the six princesses' and returned their beloved hearts. Finally, a seventh heart emerged from Sonic's chest. As it floated, a red gem formed from the ball and shot towards the golden heart. It lodged itself into the final hole; the keyhole was complete. The final ball of light returned to Amy and she awoke again.
"Wha? What happened?" Amy groaned.
"Sonic!" Marine cried. "Sonic!"
Upon hearing the cry, Amy shot up. She found Sonic, weak and tired, but smiling all together. As the blue hedgehog fell backwards, she realized what happened. Sonic was dying.
"Sonic!" Amy yelled.
Amy jumped to her feet and ran over to catch Sonic. But when her arm wrapped around him, his body evaporated into tiny fragments of light. She could only stand there, watching, as Sonic's life was departing into the dark abyss. The only sound made was from Marine desperate pleas.
"Sonic!" Marine cried. "Come back, Sonic!"
Meanwhile, Sonic frail body drifted aimlessly into the pits of darkness. Not a single trace of light could be seen anywhere. His body was weak and his eyes were blind; death had taken its newest victim.
"What's happening to me?" Sonic asked weakly. "Is this what death feels like?"
"You pathetic rat! You can't do anything without my help!"
All of a sudden, Sonic could feel several tendril reach out and grasping him everywhere. Sonic's mind told him to fight, but his body refused to respond. And the tendrils dragged him deeper into the darkness.
Back with the heroes, everyone was in mourning. Silver slammed his fist into the golden heart, Storm and Angel bowed their heads in respect, and Amy continued to stare into the darkness. But the one who was affected most by this was Marine. She sat there on the floor, crying, desperately asking for Sonic to come back.
"Please, come back." Marine sobbed.
"He's not coming back, Marine." Silver gasped. "He's gone. Lost forever in the darkness."
"But he promised we would go on adventures together!" Marine yelled. "He promised! You lied to me! I hate you, Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"Don't say that." Amy whispered. She wrapped her arms around the raccoon protectively. Marine started to calm down from the warmth Amy gave off. "He's not gone, I can feel it. I simply refuse to let him go."
"Such sentiments are useless at this time. Especially when all of my plans had gone accordingly."
At the sound of the voice, the heroes turned and found a new figure standing across from them. He looked like a hedgehog except for most of his body was made of black crystal and ooze. His eyes sinister green with a red iris around them, his mouth was nowhere to be seen, and his quills were made of solid crystal. He wore silver trench coat and a heartless necklace.
"Who are you?" Storm questioned seriously.
"How sad that you don't remember me." The hedgehog said dramatically.
"I know that voice." Angel growled. "You're Mephiles!"
"That is correct." Mephiles said. His eyes roamed around to Amy, who looked scared at the sight of him. "So you have awaked at last, princess. Through the power of your heart, the keyhole is now complete. But, unfortunately, this means you have served you purpose to an extent. It's time I bid you farewell, Amy."
"How do you know my name?" Amy asked fearfully.
"I know everything about you, Amy." Mephiles said darkly. "From beginning to end."
Though for a brief moment, Amy and Mephiles' eyes gazed at one another. All of a sudden, a bright flash appeared inside Amy's head. Her head hurting, Amy nearly toppled over if not for Marine and Angel. Mephiles chuckled malevolently as he walked towards the pink princess. As he moved closer, Silver and Storm jumped in front of Amy to protect her.
"Stay back before we get serious!" Silver growled.
"Do you think we can beat him?" Storm whispered to Silver.
"I don't know." Silver said hesitantly. "But we won't let Sonic's sacrifice be in vain."
Despite Silver and Storm boasts, Mephiles felt no threat in them. He held out his crystallized claw to await an attack when something happened. All of a sudden, Mephiles' body began rigid and unstable. He looked like he was struggling against something.
"Impossible!" Mephiles roared. "How can you be doing this?!"
just then, a faint light started to emerge from Mephiles' body. The lights started to form an image and soon Espio could be seen struggling to break free from Mephiles body.
"No, you won't use me for this." Espio groaned diligently.
"Espio!" Amy exclaimed.
You've got to run!" Espio yelled. "The heartless are coming!"
"You mean they're already here." Mephiles said wickedly.
True to both of their words, a small band of Neo Shadows stared to appear before Mephiles and Espio. Mephiles, finally back in control, swatted at the image of Espio and eradicated it. Just when Siler and Storm started to kill of the Neo Shadow's more began taking their place. Even some Wizards, Defenders, and Wyvern were starting to appear.
"There are too many of them." Storm said, tossing a defender to the side. "We have to retreat."
"I don't normally say this," Silver said, knocking off a Wyvern. "But Storm is right. We've got to leave."
"But what about the others?" Angel asked, referring to Naruto and the princesses.
"They'll have to find a way out on there own." Silver said. "Now come on!"
Silver formed a barrier to stop the heartless, which bought them enough time to run for it. Mephiles chuckled at Silver's attempts and merely held out his claw to disintegrate the barrier.
"They won't get far." Mephiles stated. "Not with the heartless growing stronger by the minute." He turned on his heels and faced a shadowing being different then the heartless. "I expect you to finish the job."
"As you wish, master."
It was Dark Sonic. With the real Sonic trapped in darkness, Dark Sonic found a window of opportunity. Through the powers of his dark form, Dark Sonic eroded into the floor. Meanwhile, with our heroes. The new band of five struggled endlessly to reach the entrance to the castle. Along the way, they were faced with more heartless than they had ever seen before. And the fact they were getting stronger didn't really help with the cause. Finally, after three levels of heartless, the heroes made it to the entrance hall. Silver, Storm, Angel, and Marine were waiting by the door, but Amy was still at the top of the stairs.
"Come on, Amy." Angel said. "We've got to go."
"But we can't just leave the other princesses behind." Amy said worriedly.
"We don't stand a chance in our current state." Silver said logically. "And besides, Naruto is helping them out."
Amy thought about it and figured Silver was right. She skipped down the stairs and reached the door along with the others. They pushed open the door, breathing in the air of freedom. But it was more bitter than anticipated. For once they opened the door; Dark Sonic could be found blocking the way.
"Going somewhere?" Dark Sonic questioned.
"Sonic?" Amy asked hopefully.
"It's Dark Sonic." Marine growled. "Sonic's evil half."
"Aw, that hurt, Marine." Dark Sonic said dramatically. "And here I thought we were friends."
"Don't you dare mock us!" Silver hissed. "If we have to, we'll destroy you as well."
"Bring it on." Dark Sonic challenged.
"Wait!" Amy cried out before they could start attacking. She gently grasped Sonic's hand. "Sonic, I know you're in there somewhere."
"Sonic is dead." Dark Sonic stated. "The darkness destroys all those who are weak."
"No, I know you're still in there, Sonic." Amy said. "Please, come back to me."
Dark Sonic was torn. On one hand, he had his orders to destroy the girl, but something in his dark heart was stopping him from doing so. Could it be that Sonic's kindness had rubbed off on him. before he even had time to ponder this, a group of Neo Shadow emerged from the floor and surrounded the group.
"I knew it!" Silver exclaimed. "It's a trap!"
"Quick!" Angel called. "Protect Amy!"
And the heroes scattered into four different directions. Silver started killing as many Heartless as he could with a round of lightning magic. Storm relied on his musclues and crushed everything in sight. Angel was more strategic and had the Heartless killing each other. Marine, with rage brimming in her heart, blast everything Neo Shadow in sight. But the more they killed, the more that would appear. But unknown to the heroes, a particular group appeared around Amy and Dark Sonic.
"Just give up." Dark Sonic said. "It will be over in a moment."
"I'm not worried." Amy said smiling. "Because this time, I'm saving you."
Dark Sonic looked bewildered. Would she really be willing to give up her life for Sonic? Then again, Sonic had done the same thing for him. Was this really what it felt like to be whole? Was this how love was supposed to feel like? The Neo Shadows jumped and dived down on Amy. At the last second, Dark Sonic dived on Amy to shield her with his body. A few seconds later, the other heroes noticed the massive pile of shadows near the door.
"Amy!" Marine called.
"We'll save you!" Storm shouted.
But before they could take the first steps, a sudden ray of light erupted from the massive pile. The Heartless were blown to the walls and forced back into the darkness. The heroes could see it, but they would not believe it. The dark hedgehog had protected her from the Heartless, but not the way he was before.
"Amy, thank you." Sonic whispered.
"Sonic." Amy replied happily. "Is that really you?"
"Only one true blue around here." Sonic grinned.
"Sonic!"
Sonic turned and found his friends looked stunned to see him alive. Silver looked totally clueless, which was a first for him. Storm and Angel were singing and dancing around in circles. But Marine went farther than any of them. With tears in her eyes, Marine jumped onto the hedgehog, knocking him to the floor.
"I knew you were alive, mate!" Marine cried happily.
"Ok, Marine, you can stop now." Sonic groaned. Marine jumped off and Sonic slowly got back to his feet. "Man, remind me never to do that again."
"I'll beat you upside the head if you do." Silver threatened amusingly.
The group laughed loudly at Sonic, who was crouching behind Amy fearfully. But the joke didn't last long. A new group of Neo Shadows emerged from the darkness and Sonic took it up upon himself to summon his Keyblade. They may have been outnumbered, but the group felt confident with their leader back. Just as one of the Neo Shadows jumped, Naruto appeared out of nowhere and cut it down the middle with a kunai.
"Naruto!" Marine praised.
"Guy, you got to get out of here!" Naruto warned. "There are Heartless everywhere!"
"Come with us." Sonic offered. "We can escape together."
"I told you, I'm not leaving without Sakura." Naruto said, cutting across another Neo Shadow. "Now get out of here!"
Seeing as how there was no way to convince him, Sonic grabbed Amy's wrist and ran out of the castle. Silver and the others quickly followed. As they reached the elevator to the Gears; Silver grabbed his before exiting the castle, Amy looked back with a sorrowful look in her eyes.
"Mephiles." Amy mumbled. "What's happened to you?"
"You know that freak show, Amy." Sonic asked her.
"That freak show is my father." Amy stated.
The darkness grows and new revelations are revealed. Can Sonic bring himself to kill Amy's father? Will Mephiles achieve his goal of obtaining the Four Paths? Find out on the next Kingdom Hearts: Sonic Version.
