Notes: Aide-moi- Help me



Sonic twisted and turned in his bed, beads of sweat rolling down the sides of his head.



'Sonic...'



He groaned and rolled over, he was having a nightmare.



He looked down at Maia's body laying in a dark cage over some water.

"Sonic!" She gasped, looking up at him. "Why can't you help me!?"

Sonic stepped back, a look of horror on his face as the water soon turned to fire, surrounding the poor French girl.

"Aide-moi!! Aide-moi!" she screamed at him, her hazel eyes wide in horror as the flames engulfed her body.

"Maia!!!" Sonic screamed looking down at the raising flames. They settled down and Sonic looked down expecting to see Maia's dead burnt body, but he didn't. He saw a blue eyed, blonde wearing a blue and white dress looking up at him.

"Sonic..." she whispered, looking up at him sadly. "Why didn't you use your ability to save her? Why?"

The flames rose again, taking the blonde with them. "Save her! Sonic!!!"

~~~

Sonic sat up from his bed, drenched in sweat again. "Why..?" he breathed, shivering slightly from the warm air of the heater blowing at his cold, sweat-drenched body. "Must things like this happen to me?! Why is everything so strange!?" he screamed, closing his blank eyes and placing his hands on his head.

~~~

Shadow paced around the living room, hands behind his back, a worried look on his face.

'What happened to you Maia?' He asked himself. 'Your own roommate doesn't even know where you are? Unless...' He looked out the balcony window. 'Eggman..' He gritted his teeth. He longed to go out and search for Maia, but living Sonic alone. Even if he DID have Omochao to help him. Shadow didn't like it. Maia will be better but she's missing.

"Better safe than sorry, but this is important.. Sonic's asleep.. Nothing will happen.. I hope."

And he opened the door and walked out.

~~~

Sonic opened the door to his bedroom and walked down the hallway slowly. "Shadow? Omochao?"

"Yes Sonic!" the robotic chao's voice said from behind him.

Sonic turned around, falling instantly. "Jeesh Omochao.. You pop out of nowhere huh?"

Omochao giggled and started fly around the house. "Need anything?"

"No." Sonic replied sitting down on his chair, eyes half closed. He wanted to be somewhere else besides his bedroom, even though he was rather tired.

After a few minutes, he started to doze off only to be awakened by the sound of the door opening.

"Shadow!?"

No reply.

"Omochao..? Who is it?!"

Omochao didn't reply, but Sonic heard a strange gurgling sound, like a something malfunctioning. Sonic was scared now.

"O-O-Omochao!?" He whispered, hands searching for his white walking stick when suddenly cold pointed fingers circled his neck.

"Ack!" Sonic cried out, hands instantly trying to pry the metal fingers of his attacker.

"Don't worry Sonic.." a cold robotic voice said. "I'm not going to kill you. He doesn't want that to happen. Yet."

Sonic gritted his teeth, concentrating on the attacker's voice.

He saw red eyes, not like real eyes, but like the eyes that he would have seen on toys.

Blue and silver, but he couldn't get a good name on him. Suddenly, something trigger in his brain.

"Please Mr. President! Don't let Sonic hear this! Or Metal Sonic will-"

"I already heard enough!"

Sonic gasped and looked at the robot with his blind eyes. "Metal Sonic!!"

Metal Sonic chuckled. "So you remember me Sonic.."

"Barely." Sonic coughed. He was at least five inches off the ground.

Metal narrowed his red eyes at him. "So many times we fought. So many times you destroyed me, but you don't remember all that. Now do you?"

Sonic groaned and then coughed. He neck was really getting sore now. "What do you want?"

Metal placed him back on the ground, but that didn't mean he loosen his grip on Sonic's neck. "Simple." he started, squeezing his grip on Sonic's neck, making the azure blue hedgehog fall to his knees. "Eggman wants me to give this to Shadow." He placed a tape in Sonic's hand. "Bye now."

He squeezed the small nerve on the back of Sonic's neck, knocking him out, and just walked off; slamming the door behind him...





'Sonic!!'



Sonic opened his eyes. He was there again.... The strange cell like place.



'Why couldn't you save me Sonic!'



A dark building..



'Why didn't you use your ability to keep me alive?'



Trees. A forest of some sort..



'Why didn't you come for me!? What's holding you back?'



A mountain.



'Aide-moi! Aide-moi Sonic!!!!!!'

Sonic began to fall into the darkness that surrounded him. "No! Maia! Maia!!!!"

'Sonic!'

"Maia please!!!!!"



"Sonic! Wake up! Man! Don't die on me!!!"



'Shadow!?!?'



"Man Sonic.. I knew I should have been with you. Jeesh. With Chaos Control and everything you wouldn't be in this mess. If only.."



'Shadow I'm here! I'm alive!!!'



"Fire really did something to you... Burnt head to toe... Take you to Doc. Bones.. He'll help you.."



'Shadow! I'm alright!!!'



"Sonic!!!!!!!!!" Maia's voice screamed once again, an evil laugh surrounding it.

~~~

"Sonic! What happened to you!?"

Sonic snapped open his eyes, a small gasp escaping from his lips. "Shadow!?"

A hand went behind his head and pushed him up. Sonic felt something soft touch his hand, a patch of fur.

"Man Sonic!! Don't scare me like that!" Shadow screamed at him, holding his head close to his chest. "I thought that you were dead!"

Sonic coughed. "What happened to Omochao and Metal.."

"Omochao needs rebuilding.. Head ripped off.. Metal? I don't know any Metal.."

Sonic coughed again. "Shadow.. You're hiding something from me.. About my past and now.." he whispered, closing his eyes tiredly.

Shadow sighed. "I guess I can't hide it from you..." He let go of his tight grip on Sonic and sighed again. "Maia's missing.."

Sonic gasped. 'The dream!'



'Help me Sonic!!! Please! Aide-moi!!'

"Any hopes of finding her?" he asked, placing his hands on Shadow's face, searching for an answer.

"Yes.."

Sonic frowned, looking out into space as usual. "You're lying... But we'll find her.. I promise we will.."

'Because I'm not going to let her die..'
