Cold Deceptions Ch. 5



Hey everyone. School started for me on January 6th, and I've been real busy lately. God, I hate high school...X_X Anyway, I managed to finish chapter 5, so here it is for your reading enjoyment!

Chapter 5: Never Cry Wolfwrath





The newly transformed Melissa charges straight at the group with her jaws opened, and her large canine fangs ready to tear and shred flesh apart. Amy screams out in fear as the enraged werewolf charged closer to them. She stops when she was lifted from the ground by Tails, now worried that Sonic would have to fight Melissa alone.

"Tails! We can't just leave him alone down there!" Amy exclaims to her fox friend.

"Don't worry, Amy! Sonic can handle it! Besides, we would be a distraction to him," Tails replies. Amy seemed a bit miffed about it. but she said nothing else. Sonic quickly leaps out of the way before Melissa could rip a chunk out of him. She flicks her large bushy tail left to right as she stares coldly at the blue hedgehog before her. Then, she began to circle him, as if she was cornering her prey. Sonic turns around as she stalks him, not showing his back to her. Then, he tries to get her to stop by reasoning.

"Melissa! I don't want to hurt you! It's me, Sonic!" He shouts at her. The female werewolf merely snorts in reply, and suddenly charges at him again. Sonic turns, and runs to the other side of the large arena. He looked back to see if she was following him. to his surprise, she was right on his tail!

"Wow! I didn't know she was that fast!" He says out loud. Sonic runs up the rounded metal walls, trying to shake her off. Melissa stops at the walls, and makes an angry noise that sounds like a large cat's hiss. She slowly opens her mouth, a red ball of energy forming inside. Tails took notice of this as it began to grow brighter.

:"Sonic! Watch out! She's about to do something!" He cries out.

"Huh?" Sonic looked confused when he runs down to the other side of the arena. Melissa's eyes glowed bright, soulless white as unleashes a stream of fire straight at him.

"Agh!" Sonic yelps out as he narrowly escapes the blast by rolling out the way. The fire collides into the wall, melting the metal like it was butter. Melissa stops the attack by snapping her mouth shut, and she makes the weird noise at him again.

"Damn...She's pretty strong. I really don't want to hurt her. Man, this is going to be tougher than I thought, " Sonic says in his mind. Melissa started to advance towards him, when he stands back up again.

"Melissa! Come on! I know you don't want to hurt anyone!" He yells to her again.

"Sonic! She won't listen to anyone but Eggman!" Amy cries out.

"Ha ha ha! Right you are, you little twit!" Eggman says on the loudspeaker. Melissa looks straight up at Amy and Tails, whom were hovering around the ceiling of the arena. She opens her mouth, and the same red energy ball from before suddenly appears.

"Tails! Amy! Get out of the way!" Sonic shouts, but it was too late. The stream of fire already exploded from her mouth, and it was now aiming at his friends. Tails barely escaped with Amy from the burning blast, and it slams into the ceiling. Amy screams out loud when the explosion from the fire attack blows them across the arena. They both land on the ground, tumbling, and stopped with a skid.

"Tails! Amy! You guys ok!?" He shouts while he running to them. Melissa snarls and cuts him off, baring her canine fangs at him. Sonic gasps sharply and takes a step back when she stands on her hind legs. The female werewolf makes a thunderous roar that shook the whole, empty dome. Then, she knocks Sonic away with her left paw, causing him to groan loudly in pain. The blue hedgehog lands a few feet away with a loud thud. He jumps back up, rubbing the mark that was just struck across his cheek. Sonic growled slightly as Melissa charges at him, then quickly pounces at him. He back flips out of the way, but she opens her mouth and quickly shoots a stream of fire at him. The hedgehog yelps out as he dances out of the way of the attack, the fire barely missing his tail. He lost his balance for a second, but he catches himself and stands back up. Melissa charges at him again, this time, head butting him in the stomach. Sonic groans loudly again, and was sent skidding on the floor. Tails and Amy slowly got back up, and sees their friend getting the worst of the battle.

"Sonic!" Amy screams out, and runs to him.

"AMY!! GET BACK HERE!!" Tails exclaims when he starts to run after her. Melissa payed no attention to them as they were approaching.

"Oww.....Shit, that hurt," He cursed softly. Sonic yelps out when he feels something heavy pinning him into the cold floor. He looks up to see a pair of soulless, white eyes staring back at him. The werewolf snarled viciously at Sonic, but her attention was drawn away from him momentarily when his friends jumped on her back.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!" Amy shouts in her angry tone. Melissa jumped around, kicking, bucking, and howling as she tries to throw them off like a bull. Sonic, realizing he was free, stands back up, watching his friends hanging on for dear life on the enraged animal.

"Guys!! Watch out!!!" Sonic screams when Melissa stops to a halt. One of her paws reaches back, and yanks Amy off. The pink hedgehog makes a sharp squeak of fear when she was held in front of the werewolf's face. Her body shook violently when her eyes glowed a little brighter, and her lips curled back to reveal those fangs of hers. Melissa snorts at Amy, and then tosses her in Sonic's direction. He gasps lightly, and catches her before she could land on the ground. Now, Tails gripped on Melissa's fur even tighter when she started to buck and kick again. The young fox lost his grip when she runs around in circles. He screams out when he was in the air, and then yelps out when he landed by Sonic and Amy.

"You guys alright?" Sonic asks them softly.

"I-I'm ok," Amy says with a smile. Tails stands back up giving his bud a thumbs up.

"Guys, I don't think we can beat her one-on-one. Looks like the only way to beat her is work as a team!" Sonic says, holding his fist up.

"Yeah!!" Tails and Amy shouted in agreement.

"Melissa...I'm sorry..," He says in his mind. Melissa snarls at the three, and began to circle them like they way she did to Sonic. The blue hedgehog speeds right at her, and she responds by charging at him. A smirk comes across his face, and he jumps in the air before their bodies could slam into each other. Tails runs behind her while she was distracted, and spindashes into her leg, causing her to trip. Melissa lets out a surprised yelp, and stands back up, only to be sent back into the floor again when Sonic slams into her back as a ball.

"Wolfwrath!! What are you doing!? Stop fooling around, and destroy them, NOW!!" Eggman commanded on the loudspeaker. Melissa stands back up, angrier than before. Sonic grins as he ran around her in circles, trying to get her confused. Melissa tries to keep up with him, but he was making her really dizzy. She whimpers out loud as she starts moving around like she was drunk. Tails saw his chance, and then spindashes into her jaw, knocking her onto her hind legs. Then, Amy shouts out as she runs to her, with her Piko Piko Hammer in her hand. She swings her large hammer at the dazed werewolf, slamming it into her cheek. The force of the blow caused Melissa to fall back onto her side, unconscious.

"Yeah! We did it!" Amy cheers, jumping up and down.

"Yeah, we sure did, Amy," Sonic said when he stopped running, a grin coming across his face.

"Whew...Glad that's over," Tails sighed in relief. The device on Melissa's head whirred gently, then began to shock Melissa awake by electricity. The werewolf lets out a howl of pain as Eggman turned up the device's power when it stopped zapping her. The power causing her to become more enraged.

"What the-!?" Sonic exclaimed, looking back at her. Tails and Amy looked back as well when Melissa stands there on all fours, panting heavily. Then, she lets out a roar of pure, utter rage as a sparking red ball of energy formed in her mouth. She shoots an even larger, and deadlier stream of fire at the three friends. Sonic grabbed one of their hands, and speeds them out of the way. The fire colliding into the wall, melting the metal. She snaps her jaws shut, and charges at them like a mad bull. The blue hedgehog shoves Tails and Amy out of the way, letting Melissa tackle him to the ground. He grunts gently when she pins him down, so he couldn't move.

"Sonikku!!!" Amy shouts to him, but Tails holds her back, so she wouldn't get hurt by the mind controlled werewolf. Melissa stares down at Sonic, her lips curling back to reveal those sharp fangs again. Saliva oozed and dripped from her teeth, onto the bottom of her muzzle, and on the floor, giving her a menacing look.

"Don't you see, you stupid hedgehog!? My new weapon is unbeatable!!" Eggman gloated over the loudspeaker as Sonic began to struggle.

"Nothing in this world is unbeatable, Eggman! I will over come this "weapon" of yours!" Sonic shouts in reply. "Bah! I had heard enough! Wolfwrath, finish him off!!" Eggman shouts. Melissa's eyes narrowed as she raises her clawed paw in the air as she kept him pinned.

"SONIC!!! NO!!!!" Amy and Tails screamed out loud. Sonic shuts his eyes tight and waits for the final blow. Melissa throws her paw down, but she stops it halfway.

"Wait...what am I doing??" She says in her mind. Something inside her had told her to stop, and spare the hedgehog's life. Sonic slowly reopens his eyes as he doesn't feel anything after awhile, and he sees her looking back at him, with her emerald-green eyes. He smiles to her as she slowly lets him up.

"What the-!? What's going on!? Wolfwrath!! Attack--NOW!!" Eggman screams on the loudspeaker. Sonic slowly, and cautiously holds his hand out for her, and she gently licks it with her soft, pink tongue. He smiles to her again when her tail wagged back and forth.

"You stupid half-breed!! You WILL obey!!!" Eggman screams again, and he presses a button on the device control. Melissa's device whirred, and it began to painfully shock her body. She lets out a loud shriek of agony as electricity shoots through her insides.

"Melissa!!" Sonic shouts out loud. He lets out a growl of anger, and then rolls into a ball. The hedgehog spindashes straight into the device, destroying it into pieces.

"NO!! My device!! I wont be able to control her anymore!!" Eggman exclaims. Melissa groans softly in pain as she began to shrink down in size, as the last jolts of electricity disappeared form her body. Her teeth shriveled down to normal, as well as her muscles and claws. When she had finished her transformation, she faints, falling towards the ground. Sonic jumps behind her, and lets her fall in his arms. He cradles her close to his chest, and smiles sweetly to her. Unfortunately, the sweet moment was cut short when reinforcement robots came from the arena door. Sonic dodges the laser blasts when they fired at him, and began to run to the hole on the wall that Melissa created.

"Sonic! We gotta go!" Tails shouts as he and Amy were waiting for him.

"Yeah, Sonikku! Let's--wait...Who is that you're carrying!?" Amy exclaims.

"No time to explain, Amy! Let's get out of here!!" Sonic shouts as all three of them ran out of the arena with the robots tailing after them. They ran to the Tornado 2, as the robots got close. Tails and Amy jumped in the pilot and co-pilot seat, while Sonic jumped onto the tail of the plane. The fox starts the engine quickly, and the plane began to run down the Egg Carrier's runway. The plane collides into the robots, smashing them into bits and pieces. It was not long before the Tornado 2 was up in the air, amongst the clouds.

"Whew! Made it!" Tails says with a grin on his face.

"Hey, Sonic? What's with the girl?" Amy asks as she looks back at him, and Melissa.

"Her? Oh, heh. don't worry about her, I'll explain later," He says as Melissa groaned softly, causing him to hold her closer than before. Amy took notice of that, but she didn't say a word.

"Why is he holding her like that? Could he be in...No! He loves me! I hope he loves me...," She thought sadly in her mind.

End of Chapter 5. Well! Looks like Amy has some competition! What will Sonic, Tails, and Amy do with Melissa? You'll find out in Chapter 6! ^_^ So keep your eyes peeled!!
