~~~~~GARION

I slowly opened my eyes to the bright light of morning. I sat up and looked around and found myself in my own bed in my own house. How did I get here? Tails must've brought me here... But how did he know where I lived?

"Garion! You're awake!" A voice said from the doorway. I turned to see...

"Rolm! You're all right!" I yelled as I got up and hugged him. "I thought you might've..."

"Me too," he said.

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"About three days now. Tails and I found you in Sonic's house and brought you here. I woke up shortly after you left me to go help Sonic. I'm as good as new now, thanks to you."

"Thank Tails. It was his machine that saved you," I said.

"But even if he couldn't make the machine, you still would've stayed with me until you completely exhausted your own energy, wouldn't you?"

I didn't have anything to say to that. He was right. I would've given my life for him. He was like a brother to me.

"Oh yeah, I picked these up for you," Rolm said he handed me a package. I opened it to find a new pair of jet-black sunglasses that looked exactly liked the ones I had broken.

"Thanks, I need these. Don't want too many people to think I'm a freak," I replied as I slipped them on over my red eyes.

Rolm chuckled. "You're not a freak. You're just unique and powerful."

"Maybe." I looked down at my arms to see my fur was back to its original shade of green.

"What are you looking at?" Rolm asked.

"Oh...nothing," I said.

"How did you do it? I heard part of the story from Sonic and I saw what's left of Eggman's factory. What did you do?"

"Kid, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

"Garion, I would believe anything you say." I looked into his eyes. He meant it.

"Well, alright, but promise me not to spread this around," I said.

"OK, I promise."

"Well, you know all that training I have been doing lately?" I asked him. He nodded. "But do you know exactly what I have been training to do?" He shook his head no. "I have been trying to absorb energy from a Chaos Emerald in an amount that nobody has ever done before."

He cocked his head to one side. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Well, let me just tell you outright then...Rolm, I turned into my Super form with just one emerald."

"Oh, come on Garion, you can't be serious..." Then he saw how serious a look I had on my face. "No way...! AWESOME! Teach me how to do it!" he said as he literally jumped up and down.

"You'll have to train extra hard if you want to do it, and I think you might have to be a bit older..."

"Oh, come on Garion! I can do it! I know I can! My skills with the emeralds almost match yours! If I can't do it, then show me what you look like when you do it!"

"I'm not going to turn Super if there isn't an emergency. It takes too much energy. Look at me! I was out for three DAYS! But I could try and train you. Yeah, I could do that, but it will probably take a couple of months before you get it," I replied.

"A couple of months?" Rolm groaned. "Is that how long it took you?" I nodded. "Great. I guess that means that I won't be much of a help anytime soon..."

"Hey, cheer up! You're always a big help, since you're one of the only ones who can use Chaos Emeralds the way I can..."

"...Thanks Garion."

"No problem."

"Well, I'm going to call Sonic and Tails and tell them that you're OK. They have been worried about you too, you know." He stated as he left the room. I fell back down on my bed and looked at the ceiling. What a week...
