Chapter 9: Revival
"Fate promises more twists before this drama unfolds...completely." -Kain, Soul Reaver 2
150 years passed. The Temple prisoners had had no training, just blood to drink. They were helpless. Looking out the window, the vampiric revolution had halted ever since Elexis' disappearance. Human structures still stood. People still wondered the streets. Progress was VERY slow. But progress was being made, nonetheless. And to think that this happening around the entire planet! Everywhere, vampires were taking their toll on human kind. Everywhere.
Robotnik had a better vision of vampirism than this. It was gone now. Sonic and the others had demolished good hopes. He stared out the window.
"We could be out there." He said to himself. "Freedom. I don't believe I've felt so much rage toward Sonic before. The future is gone. That is, until Elexis shows back up."
Rouge joined him at the window. "Life sucks, huh? Some new life this turned out to be. Sometimes.I wish I had died and stayed that way. This would be more enjoyable if SOMEONE hadn't toyed with destiny."
"Yeah...hardly a magnificent life. I wonder when Elexis will come back. And when she does, what will happen?"
"I wish I knew. All we can do is wait."
Robotnik sighed.
"I wish I would have stayed dead, as well." He said.
Rouge pat him on the back. "Yes, well, neither of us are. We each just need to deal with it."
"You're right."
He turned from the window and wondered the halls of the Temple. He finally came across Tails. They exchanged glares. There had been serious tension between Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Knuckles, and the other, Robotnik and Rouge. It had been 150 years. Yet, the grunge lived. They both kept going their separate ways. Tails was on his way to meet Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow in the chapel where the black void that last provided their exit from the Temple was to drink. Of course, they couldn't use the exit. They were not permitted to leave the Temple. It was too dangerous for such young vampires, number one. And two, supernatural forces prevented them from leaving. Perhaps it was Elexis who bound them. No, it WAS her. No doubt about it.
"Heh. You're bloods getting warm, Tails." Said Sonic.
Tails took his share of the blood and sipped at it. As with Robotnik and Rouge, he was depressed.
"I'm sick of this Temple." He said. "I want out."
"Yeah, but you're not getting out. Get over it." Knuckles said harshly as he gulped his share, some running down his chin.
"I-I wish I never helped you, Sonic." Tails said quietly.
"SHUT UP. TAILS. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE." Sonic said.
"It's hard to forget when that little incident sealed us all in a Temple until a certain vampire comes back!"
"I KNOW, OKAY?! I DON'T NEED A CONSTANT REMINDER!"
"I'm starting to change my thinking. I think you deserve to be constantly reminded of the mistake you made, trying to rebel against mother like that."
"MOTHER?!"
"Yes! Mother. She gave us life! Unfortunately, YOU had to go and mess up what could've been a good thing! This vampirism is a gift! You just can't accept that you are NOT the most powerful thing on the planet!"
Sonic jumped at Tails.
"Listen! Stop it! Stop it now!!!"
"Sonic.." Said Tails. "Fine. I'll stop. Just stay out of my way."
"I pose a similar threat to you."
"You two," Started Shadow. "You used to be best friends."
"Times change." Said Sonic, lifting himself from Tails.
"Come on." Said Knuckles. "Make up."
Tails held out his right hand.
Sonic huffed.
"Fine." He said, shaking Tails' hand. They finished their ration of blood for the next week.
Robotnik found himself at the alter, staring. The sword was no longer there, it had disappeared along with its master. The blood stains from when the sword first disappeared were still there.
"Come back." he whispered. It echoed.
He heard one of the higher ranking vampires yelling, "There's trouble down below! We've been enslaved by HUMANS!"
Another voice. "WHAT? The filthy things. This never would have happened had that fledgling been smarter!"
The two ran from Robotnik's view.
Two more voices.
"There's young vampire in here! Get them!" It was a female voice.
Robotnik ran to find a way out, only to run into the others.
"We have to hide! They'll take us for sure!" cried Tails.
It was too late. They had followed Tails to find the others. No place to run. Shadow was pierced by a human weapon. A gun. Blood flew everywhere. He was shot in the chest. Higher ranking vampires could easily absorb this wound, but a young vampire's flesh retains its human vulnerability. At least twenty humans were present. All ready for whatever may be coming. A soldier grabbed Shadow and tried to get him out of the Temple, but he couldn't. The barrier from being bound in the Temple.
"Sir, there is something preventing them from leaving!" Yelled the soldier.
"Hmmmm." Said the human warrior. "Very well. Leave these beasts here. They can starve to death.
Rouge was about to go in for the kill, but realized the number of humans surrounding them. To kill one was to kill herself. It would cause the others to go on the attack. The humans left, breaking glass and smashing walls. One wandered into the main room and crushed the alter. That was it for Robotnik. He began to run for the humans, but the others held him back.
"LET ME GO!! THEY'VE DONE ENOUGH!!" He screamed.
"Well going after them isn't going to help! Its suicide!" Sonic told him. Robotnik calmed down. All he could do was watch them leave. The fledgling vampires went to the window. Vampires killing humans, humans killing vampires. Both sides seemed weary of the fight. Who was going to come out of this alive?
They then visited the alter. Nothing more than a mere pile of pebbles. However, as if it were always there, the sword lay atop the ruined table.
HAHAHA! Is this writers black? Or am I stringing you along? shrugs anyway, please review!!!!!! You MUST!!!
