Chapter 2: Hope
Sonic awoke,with a start. He was being stared at by a very pretty
purple hedgehog that he had never seen before. The island must have
been floating over a forest once he fell off,Sonic had never seen
this one before. The hedgehog began speaking in some bizzare tounge,
another thing Sonic didn't regonize.The purple hedgehog saw that
Sonic didn't understand and changed to english.
"Are you with the echinda,fox and black hedgehog?"She asked.
"Yeah,that's Knuckles and Ta...Black hedgehog?"Sonic said.
"Why yes...but..,"she began,"He isn't...with us anymore..."
"What do you mean?"
"He passed away five minutes after he landed,about a month ago."
"What was his name?"
"His name was Shadow."
Sonic let out a deep,deppressed, sigh. He suspected Shadow was dead,
but to hear it was true was a quite bit more despressing.
"What is your name?" The hedgehog asked determined to break the silence
"Sonic,and yous?"
"Sora,where do you hail from."
"Errr....oh..Station Square."
"I see...a city."
"Is there a problem?"
"Oh...no."
Sora stood up and began to walk away. Sonic tried to get to his feet
only to find his leg was broken,Sora had put it in a banndage. She
looked back at him and giggled as he tried to stand.
"Maybe you should come back to the villiage with us."She giggled.
She helped him up and together they slowly limped to the villiage.
Sonic thought he would fall asleep,it had been five minutes since they
left and walking was very boring to him.But some how they made it to
the villiage. It was as primitive as sonic had suspected. Sonic and
Sora walked past the bond fire and Sonic swore he saw some of Tails'
guns and gadgets burning to a crisp.
"We don't...like machines...Master dosn't aprove of them."Sora informed
him.
"So what do you use to protect yourself?"Sonic asked.
"Magic."
"Are you sure it's strong enough?"
"Stronger then any gun thats for sure."
They smiled at eachother again and went into the medician man's hut.
Tails was sitting on a chair,bouncing(Sonic noted he could never sit
still),but unharmed. Knuckles however was asleep in a bed,covered with
bandages,the demon echinda hurt him fairly badly.
Tails saw Sonic and ran at him,shouting about a million things at once.
"Sonic! Did you beat him? Was he hard? You kicked his butt didn't ya?
You probably kicked his butt didn't ya? Who is she? Is she your
girlfriend? Do you like her? She's cute isn't she..."Tail said,he
probably whould have said more if Sonic didn't smack him.
"You just rest here,master should visit soon."Sora said.
"Who is your master?"Sonic asked.
Sora didn't answer,she just stepped out of the room.Sonic looked over
at Tails who was smiling at him,swinging his feet from the chair.
"No! No way!"Sonic barked.
"But she's exactly the kind you wanted!"
"But we just met,besides,she hates me!"
"She thinks your hot!"
"SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"
Tails sniggered and Sonic fell back into his chair. He needed his rest.
Tails' two tails waved merrily against Sonic's skin,making a cool,
pleasent breeze.His eye lids became heavy.He couldn't recall ever being
so comfortable.
He was in a white room.Knuckles and Tails were both laying where they
had been before,they were both sleeping heavily. Sonic got up,he herd
the bitter snap,meaning he just did more damage to his leg.He slumped
back into his chair,the fact he was in a white,doorless,windoless
room didn't seem to phase him at the least. At first there was nothing,
then he appeared. He was much like the demon echinda,only different.He
had no pupils and wings,but his wings and eyes were white and not
black. His armor was also white,and alot heavier looking then the
demon's,he had a kind,gentle face,and a sword in it's sheat on his
back. Sonic didn't seem to be suprised by him,as if he was invited
inside.
"Who are you?"Sonic asked,trying desperatly to sound alert,but the cool
breeze that the angel was admitting was to pleasent,to perfect.
"I am the keeper of the light,the enforcer of good,I am the holy, I am
the..."he didn't seem to find it important to finish his sentance,
he merely paced around Sonic,observing him,but he decdided to finish
nonetheless."I am the servant of I am."
"What is your name?"Sonic asked,dazed at the brilliant aura that was
being pressed against him.
"Names...they mean nothing..."The angel said simply.
"Are you...an echinda?"Sonic asked.
"No."
"Then..."
"My real form whould destroy you upon sight."
"If you have no name what shall I call you."
The angel stopped observing him.He stopped pacing. He looked up at the
celing,locked deep in thought.
"Demons and angels,we both have the same properties,"the angel began,
starting to walk away from Sonic,but not intending on leaving,
"We are strong,we are intelligent,we are immortal,but there is one way
we differ."
"What is that?"Sonic asked,completly shaken by the being's
magnificents.
The angel stopped and looked back at Sonic.
"Faith Sonic,faith,"Said the angel,"Demons do things out of fear for
their superiors,angels do thing's out of faith.Echindas represent what
both angels and demons stand for.Strength,intelligents,and both good
and evil,To you Sonic my friend,I am AngeKnuckles."
The infinite being smiled at him and Sonic returned it.He walked
towards Sonic,and observed his broken leg.There was a sudden flash
in his eye,like there was in DemonKnuckles',and Sonic's leg was
restored.
"DemonKnuckles is planning on destroying yours and your friends
existance,however his original plan is unknown,you must search and find
Amy and bring her with you,and you must destroy DemonKnuckles,
because..,"AngelKnuckles began,now a fealing of sadness in his voice,
"Rouge and Shadow have already been slaughtered."
Sonic understood.DemonKnux must have wounded Shadow as he chaos
controlled to earth,and Rouge was the only one left on the island and
she must have been killed. Sonic opened his mouth to ask another
question,but he couldn't.There was a horrible feeling in Sonic's chest
and he awoke. Knuckles and Tails were both standing up,both looking
shocked.Knuckles' wounds were also healed.
"AngelKnuckles." They all said at once
