He hit the cage hard, making him feel dizzy.
"SONIC!!!!!" Shadow screamed, looking down at the cage. It was sinking into the water now.
"Sonic..." Maia whispered, looking at him.
Sonic gave her a smile and a certain look in his pale green eyes. "Don't worry. You'll live." he whispered to the sickly French girl.
Maia looked at his eyes. They were confident for ones that were blind.. She noticed that he lad an object in his pocket. "Sonic..?"
Her knees gave away and she fell down and slid halfway into the burning water. "Maia!!" Sonic screamed, reaching out for her frail pale hand.
He felt something.
'Yes!'
He caught her. Just barely.
"Sonic.." she whispered, barely awake. Sonic groaned as he tried to pull her up, but he was tired too..
'If only I didn't hit my head..' he thought grimly, starting to slip into the hot, firey water.
"Sonic.. Il fait chaud..." Maia whispered, her hand slipping away from Sonic's and into the water. "Maia!!" Sonic screamed diving into the water, Shadow looking on in horror.
"Sonic!! Don't be a fool!!" Shadow yelled, starting to climb down the ditch. "Shadow! No!! È troppo pericoloso!" Diana screamed, grabbing his hand.
Shadow looked at her. "Wha?" He nodded and climbed back up. He never liked tears and that's what Diana was giving him.
~~~
Sonic twisted and turned in the dark water as debris from the ceiling started to fall.
'Come on! Let me see..'
There! He saw it! The water and also-
'Maia!!' He swam towards her and grabbed her arms, swimming to the surface.
Once at the surface, Sonic gasped for breathe, holding Maia's head up above the water as the fire encircled around them.
"Sonic!!" two voice screamed from above. Sonic's head snapped up and blinked. "Shadow!? Diana!?"
Shadow reached into his pocket and pulled out a green Chaos Emerald. "Chaos Control!" he yelled and disappeared in a flash of green and white light.
He reappeared next to Sonic and Maia and pulled him back towards the cage. "Stupid!" he growled, pulling him up more, away from the water. "Why did you do that!? You're blind! You can't be a hero no more!!"
'Me.. A.. Hero?" Sonic muttered, looking up at Shadow.
Shadow sighed. "You were a hero Sonic, but not anymore. You're blind and there's nothing you can do about it!"
Sonic looked down. He remembered.. everything.. Tails. Amy.. The Perfect Chaos incident. Even A.R.K.
"I am STILL a hero Shadow.. And you can't change it!" he snapped, standing up.
Shadow sighed and turned to Maia. "Maia..?"
She didn't answer. Her dark hair covered her face.
"Maia..?" Sonic whispered, pushing away her hair, Shadow making a weird sound. "Sonic.. She needs a doctor!" Shadow screamed, pulling Maia up on her feet.
Sonic nodded just as a rather large piece of debris fell onto him. "Sonic!!"
Sonic groaned as the cage sank even more. "Get.. Maia.. Out.. of here!" he gasped, head going under the water.
Shadow frowned and took the emerald out again, disappearing and reappearing next to Diana. "Here! Take Maia to the hospital!" he ordered, pushing the unconscious girl into the shocked Italian girl's arms.
The flames rose higher and higher until they barely touched Shadow and Diana. "Out!! Now!"
"But.."
"OUT!!!!!" he screamed once more, covering his face as he looked down to see if Sonic was still alive.. "Sonic!!!!!!!!!" he screamed once more as the fire rose to the ceiling and onto the ground below his feet...
~~~
'Sonic..'
Sonic groaned and opened his eyes to see a girl wearing a white dress looking at him with clear blue eyes. 'Sonic Takeshi Hedgehog.'
"Who.?" He looked at her face. It was sweet. And her blond hair looked soft like feathers.
"Am I.. Dead?" he uttered, looking at her.
The girl laughed. "No. Not yet."
He looked at her.. A small gasp escaped his lips as he realized who the girl was. "M- M-Maria?!"
She nodded and walked next to him. "Shadow's very worry about you.."
Sonic looked away from her. "Forget Shadow!"
Maria placed a hand onto his cheek gently and sighed. "He only wanted to protect you.."
Sonic looked at her. "Protect me!? Maia almost got killed!"
Maria nodded. "She's alive. Burnt a little, but not as much as you.."
Sonic looked at his body. There were no burns on him. What was she talking about!? "What!?"
"I'll let you go.. Sayonara. Sonic.."
~~~
'Maria..? Don't go! So many questions..'
A ripping pain shot through Sonic's arm as he sat up straight in a bed, screaming out.
"Whoa.. Easy tiger.." Shadow's voice said from his side.
Sonic head whipped around. "Shadow!?"
"Just changing the bandages... You WERE burnt pretty badly.."
Sonic blinked. "Wha?"
RIP!!!
Sonic screamed again as Shadow ripped off another bandage. "Are you trying to kill me!?!?" Sonic howled, placing his hand over his bare arm, feeling the small bumps and smoothed skin he had.
Shadow sighed. "Jeesh. I should just take you back to the hospital!"
Sonic narrowed his pale emerald eyes. "Over my dead body!!"
"You would have a dead body if Shadow didn't help you!" an annoying voice said to the side. Sonic sighed. "Omochao.. You're back?"
The robotic chao smiled at his blind owner. "Yes Mr. Sonic sir!" he squeaked.
Sonic sighed as Shadow ripped off another bandage from his leg this time, Sonic's other foot catching Shadow in the nose.
"God damn it Sonic!!" Shadow yelled, running out the room, screaming more profanity words.
Sonic sweatdropped and turned around. "Omochao?"
"You gave him a bleeding nose!!" the chao said happily. Sonic sighed and then blinked. "Hey.. Why are you happy about that?!"
The robot giggled and flew away. "Because I am!!" It giggled again.
"Strange... thing.." Sonic muttered.
Sonic leaned back against the pillows. It was strange to him.
'How did I get out?' he thought. 'There was NO way Shadow could have gotten me out of that firey hell-hole!' He tilted his head and felt his pocket. 'Unless..' He took out a large object, fingering it gently.
"This thing helped me.." he whispered, holding the blue Chaos Emerald up higher.
~~~
"Come stai?"
"Quoi?"
Diana sighed. Maia was having a hard time remembering some things. Not to mention that her eyes were covered with bandages to heal.
"Qui est-ce?"
"Me chiamo Diana. Io sono italiano."
"Ah.. I see.." Maia smiled, pushing back a strand of hair. "Who am I?"
"Maia. Maia Valeasco."
"Oh.. It's great to know who I am.." Maia whispered. "Yes.. It is.." Diana whispered back, tears in her eyes.
She was happy. That her only friend besides Shadow.
Was alive.
~~~
The door to the apartment opened slowly and a figure walked in.
"Shadow's not around.. Good.." it said, scanning through the walls until it saw Sonic sitting in bed. It walked to his bedroom.
Sonic sat up and stood up as the figure walked into his room. "Glad to see that you are alive Metal.." he whispered, a slight grin on his face.
Metal nodded. A wire or two hanged out of his body and one metal quill was bent. Other than that, he was alright.
"I'll like one battle with you Sonic.. Before I leave."
Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Leave?"
Metal nodded. "I'm not welcomed in Station Square.. I'll just go somewhere else. But.." he looked at Sonic's blank eyes. "I want to see how good you are.. Even if you're blind.. You seem to see me and everything.."
Sonic nodded. "Let go then.."
They gave each one a look and then sped off out of the apartment..
To Be Continued.
Now come on people.. You didn't think I'll not please my fans by making Metal dead now..? At least this chapter is done! One more to go! ...I think..
Review. Please.
