Remember the Fallen

Note: In my version, both Snively and the Iron Queen escaped being captured by Eggman, took on new appearances and identities, and joined G.U.N. Snively (now Dr. Julian Humphrey) as a Scientist & the Iron Queen (now Cassandra Andrews) as his assistant.

(Abigail's POV)

*A whole day has past since our last battle against Eggman. Sonic was able to get Antoine to the hospital in time, but he was in a coma & Dr. Quack said didn't know when or if he would ever wake up. They were using a Power Ring to help the healing process, but it didn't seem to work as it did for Sonic. Everyone was taking what had happened pretty hard, especially Bunnie. Sonic had holed himself up in his room at his house, Tails & Rotor were repairing the Tornado, Amy was helping others to distract herself, & Bunnie was at the hospital, refusing to leave Antoine's side. As for me, I was at my Dad's dojo (look up "The Dojo" by "eigo-otaku" on "DeviantArt") in New Mobotropolis, beating up a punching bag. Huck was sitting off to the side, wincing everytime I punched & kicked the bag. Everytime I hit the bag, I imagined it was Eggman's ugly face. I was getting tired & sweating like crazy, but I didn't care. I was about to go for a roundhouse kick, when I heard someone calling me*

Robert:*off-screen* Sweetie? *I turned & saw my parents (my Mom holding Toby) & Grandpa all standing at the door**on-screen* You've been at this since early this morning. We think it's time you took a break.

Abigail: I'm fine. I'm just keeping myself in top shape. Gotta be ready for the next time we face Eggman.

Laura: We understand that, honey. But you're pushing yourself harder than usual. I don't think this is just training. I think you're just trying to take out your frustrations.

*I stopped just as I was about to deliver another punch to the bag*

Lawrence: We understand how you feel. All three of us felt the same way when your Grandmother passed away. We all felt sad, angry, and frustrated. But it's what we do with those feelings that's important.

*I stood where I was for a few minutes & then I put my hand down*

Abigail: You're right. I better take a break. I'm gonna go for a walk.

Laura: Alright. Just be back in time for lunch.

Abigail: Okay.

*I then put on my jacket. Huck was about to latch on to my shoulder, but I stopped him*

Abigail: Sorry, Huck. But I need some alone time.

*I then handed him to my Grandpa & left the dojo*

*I walked to the park & sat down on a bench in front of the fountain. I just couldn't shake the knot in my stomach. I felt like it was my fault we had lost both Sally & Antoine. All because I couldn't get a grip on my stupid visions. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned & saw a silver male hedgehog with peach skin & yellow eyes wearing white gloves with gold cuffs & circular auqa symbols & white, navy, aqua, & gold boots with a brown backpack on his back*

Silver: Excuse me, but do you know where I can find Sonic the Hedgehog?

*I looked at him for a second & then sighed*

Abigail: Yeah. Follow me.

*I led him to Sonic's house. As we walked past his bedroom window, Sonic poked his head out*

Sonic: Silver?

*I looked at the hedgehog next to me in surprise*

Abigail:*in her mind* Wait, this is the Silver I've been hearing about? The one that accused Sonic and Rotor of being traitors?

Silver: Oh! Sonic! I'm . . . Well, I'm looking for the traitor. Can you tell me where . . .

Sonic: Oh, for the love of . . . Look, I really don't have the patience for this today. Go sell your brand of crazy elsewhere.

Silver: No - no - no - listen! I know I jumped to conclusions before, but this time I'm sure of it! I even staked my -

Sonic: Closing the window now . . .

Silver: It's *my surprise turned to shock. suddenly, Sonic spin dashed through the window, destroying the wall, & crashed into Silver. he then grabbed him by his top go quills & zoomed away, still holding Silver. I ran after them & followed them all the way to the hospital. I found them in Antoine's room. I was surprised to see Bunnie was not here* . . . Antoine . . . What . . .? How . . .?

*He reached into his backpack & pulled out an old book*

Sonic: He saved the life of Prince Elias the other day. Had Metal self-destruct in his face. Dr. Quack says that if he gets out of his coma, he might understand how much of a hero he was.

Silver: No! It all matched up! I . . . There has to be some mistake! But he's . . . He's . . .

Abigail: Silver. I sincerely doubt that any of the Freedom Fighters would turn traitor. Especially not Antoine. *I looked around the room* Where's Bunnie?

Sonic: She probably went to the restroom.

*Silver: Oh, maybe . . . Maybe she's the one, then. Since her Uncle is a -

*Suddenly, the vase of roses next to Antoine's bed shattered as Sonic was about to attack Silver with another spin dash. I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist & used all my strength to keep him from hurting Silver*

Sonic: Listen! There. Is. No. Traitor. I believe in my friends. I believe you're a flake. Each of them is a hundred times the hero you want to be. Now. Get. Out. No. Home.

Silver: But . . . I can't . . . I'm stranded here . . .

Sonic: Then get out of my sight. *I let go of Sonic as Silver left the room. As soon as he was out of the room, Geoffrey came in* Same for you St. John! You don't belong here!

Geoffrey St. John: No, I probably don't. But I still came to pay my respects all the same. *he stood in front of Antoine's bed & did a salute* You had me in the courtroom, Commander. You had me from the beginning. Come back so I can say it to your face, man to man.

Sonic: I don't get you, man. One minute you're our best friend, the next your stabbing us in the back.

Geoffrey St. John: Just because we're on opposing sides doesn't mean I can't respect my adversaries. Even if things aren't working out how I wanted. My condolences for losing the woman of your life, by the way. Changes how you look at the world, no?

*He left the room. Sonic just stood in silence for a few minutes*

Abigail: Sonic . . .?

Sonic: Ant is gone. So is Sally. The whole city as gone bonkers, and I don't know what to do about it. I can't even do anything to help you. Silver managed to predict one thing . . . The Freedom Fighters are done.

*My eyes went wide when he said that. He then walked out of the room, but I stayed. I then fell to my knees & tears filled my eyes*

Abigail:*in her mind* It's all my fault. I've destroyed the Freedom Fighters!
