Chapter Thirty-Seven "Out In Time"
Trixie was stuck somewhere but the tornado was not there with her and she was holding a
Power-Ring that she didn't remember taking, she didn't have any idea of what was going on.
the sounds surrounding her were yelling and screaming some were hollering and some sounded in trouble it was dark so dark she couldn't see anything without the power-Ring there were lasers going off and bouncing off the cold metal walls on each side of her and the lights were damaged and giving off little sparks and it looked like a hallway, every here and there there was a light as if a bomb went off in one of the connecting rooms bright and very vivid.
There was fighting in one of the rooms she heard countless amounts of gunfire and some sounded panicked.
"What is this place?" said Trixie.
There was a hedgehog running her way, she couldn't make him out because of the light but he was running by fast he ran right passed her so fast she couldn't even see it happen.
"Was that Sonic?" thought Trixie as she ran the hedgehog's way.
The floor was wet with something but she didn't think to look down she was too worried about the gunshot noises she heard behind her, her Power-Ring was still in hand but she didn't think to use it and now bullets were flying by her head because of the people chasing that hedgehog, one about hit her but when she closed her eyes expecting to get hit from behind, she was looking backwards and seeing it and knowing she had not much time left but then she felt this strong wind and when she opened her eyes she was being rescued, she heard people calling out "GET THE HEDGEHOG!" but they weren't anyway near to catching up to him the light was just too dim even though she tried seeing her rescuer all she could really do is look behind her holding on while he was running forward.
Safety was found when the hedgehog ran over to a tree and opened a trap door in the ground just like what Melody had used but different and then she could finally see.
"Sonic? Is that you?" said Trixie squinting because the area was only making out the hedgehog's shape even in the light it was hard to tell.
"I didn't think you were alive…" the voice said.
The hedgehog moved closer.
A blue hedgehog with red running shoes and spiky quills in the back stood before her, but the expression on his face seemed like he was battle worn and tired as well as anything but hopeful, she came closer.
"Sonic it is you?" said Trixie.
"I thought you disappeared along with Tails and the rest." said Sonic.
"Disappeared? What are you talking about?" said Trixie.
"Trixie the last time I saw you was eleven years ago." said Sonic.
Trixie was struck speechless she knew Sonic never lied but she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"That's not possible…unless the emerald really did take me to the future…" said Trixie stuttering.
"Afraid so and thanks to somebody screwing up the timeline evil's in control." said Sonic.
"Is that why they were chasing you?" said Trixie.
"yes I know changes have been happening all of a sudden I figured out that there's a kid that went back trying to fix it back to how it used to be but a few others were taking there and are planning on making our lives more miserable, I'm fine but some aren't." said Sonic.
Trixie didn't recognize this new Sonic, he seemed like he had lost all hope and that was never the Sonic she knew and he was slightly different in his look he had this mark on the side of his face.
"Sonic what's that?" said Trixie pointing out his mark.
"this is what Spike gave me, he has such an ego he says he'll give every person that 'dishonors' him a mark on the opposite side of the face of his scar." said Sonic.
"Oh no this isn't good…But we've got the world's fastest hedgehog right here, that's got to even things out." said Trixie in a cheerful voice.
"Sorry Trixie it's not that simple not like it was before, Eggman stupidly gave them a few of his plans for more machines he should know better by now not to trust them, I may be fast but I can't fight them all and when they attack they attack with everything they have I've been trying for ten years to figure out how to stop them but for everyone I see there's a thousand behind." said Sonic.
"What about Angie? I heard she can short out machines." said Trixie.
"Angie's been gone for some time now her daughter was the end of her and now her daughter's screwing up the timeline I heard, I'm just lucky that my future's not changed much now that things have gotten weird here they're all adjusting to the changes, but I could have avoided this whole thing…" said Sonic.
"Sonic snap out of it you're not talking like you were before! where's the Sonic I know who's so thrilled with danger and excited for a fight that won't stop till he wins?" said Trixie.
"That was a long time ago…Sorry Trixie my life was changed a few times what I meant was I was lucky they didn't change it more then that." said Sonic.
"You mean somebody interrupted you?" said Trixie.
"No it was my fault is the problem…I lost…Tails…" said Sonic.
Trixie snapped inside almost ready to fall over, Tails was the one person she could always talk to the one person she could rely on the one person she could care for without fear of loosing him because he was too smart for anyone…she knew that the time-line must have been messed with she could not believe that for Tails she was convinced this wasn't the real future.
"…How'd it happen…?" asked Trixie barely getting the words out.
"He was supposed to fix the future but then he changed his mind and let me go then Angie's daughter took him…and I could have stopped it but I wasn't fast enough." said Sonic.
Trixie shut her ears by covering them with her hands.
"Trixie this is not the real future…Angie and Tai told me about what happened this is one of the futures they told me about they don't necessarily match this is only a possible future that I was able to reach because the line-line is warped…Tails is alive he is alive he's alive I don't have to worry he's alright…Sonic needs somebody who's not out of hope I must keep my head I must stay calm." Trixie told herself.
"Sonic don't loose hope please don't loose hope this future is not decided just yet at all I was back in our time and I got here by a warp in time and space I'll make sure it doesn't happen." said Trixie.
Sonic's head jolted up.
"You mean this doesn't necessarily have to happen to me?" said Sonic.
"No we can stop it." said Trixie.
