The Child That Could Be Chapter 3
By Angnix
(Hmmm, this was going to be serious, but yea, there is funny stuff in it, I remember putting the catnip into Sonic: 25 Years Later because the guys on the message board didn't like it. Anyway, now that I think about it many of the ideas I had for this story are on the funny side, okay, this story is now Romance\Humor. Enjoy.)
The train pulled into the Station Square Train Station. But Knuckles didn't quite know where to go; he didn't know where Rouge lived. But then suddenly Knuckles saw a blue blur come into the Train Station and stop at the ticket counter.
"Sonic! He has got to know where Rouge lives! Hey Sonic!"
"Knuckles, Tikal??? What are you doing here in Station Square? Who's guarding the Emerald?"
"I don't care about the stupid Emerald anymore; I need to see Rouge again! Where does she live?"
"In a house just outside of town, but she is not there right now, Tails wanted to show everyone a new invention of his, she, Amy and Cream in fact have been at Tails' workshop all morning helping him out with something. I was busy all morning; I am just now making my way over there."
"She is at Tails' workshop!?!?!? I just came from there! Ughhhhh!"
"Why is Tikal with you?"
"Because he is a brat that won't listen to me!"
"SHUT UP TIKAL AND GO AWAY!"
"Uhhh, okay, anyway Knuxs let's get over there, must be something real interesting if Tails won't tell us what it is."
Knuckles just sat there looking out the window. Beads of sweat were pouring down his face. Sonic really badly wanted to talk to Knuckles, but he knew it probably wouldn't be the best idea, Knuckles is the type that wouldn't want to talk about something like this. As soon as the train pulled into the Mystic Ruins stop Knuckles immediately bolted Sonic decided to just follow him. Just outside Tail's workshop Rouge, Amy, Cream and Cheese were painting something. They had flecks of while paint all over them but didn't really seem to care. Tails was fiddling with some circuits and stuff on the machine. Knuckles couldn't contain himself, before Rouge even seen him he ran toward her arms outstretched.
"Rouge! It's me Knuckles! I'm so glad to see you!"
"Glad to see me? That's not what you said the last time you saw me."
Inside she was glad to see him too, but on the other hand she was still mad at him.
"I'm sorry! Rouge, I love you! I almost died because of you!"
"Likely story."
She turned her head away from him. At the same time Sonic was making his way up the hill and was spotted by Amy.
"Sonic! Are you glad to see me?"
Sonic said nothing; he just turned his head too.
"I'm glad to see you!"
But before Amy could reach him Sonic just speeded off a short distance. Amy lowered her head slightly. Tails then noticed that the ball of light that was Tikal was there too.
"Hey it's Tikal! Perfect! I was really worried I would have no way to test this thing! You guys probably would have thought I was crazy if I told you what it did without a way to prove it!"
This comment made everyone immediately turn to Tails, Tikal was especially curious.
"You want my help Tails?"
"Well, sort of."
"Sure Tails, anything to help out a friend!"
"Okay! Everyone gather around my most miraculous invention ever! As you can see, it requires all seven Chaos Emeralds to power it and for a good reason too! Now instead of explaining to you what it does, I will show you! Tikal, enter this chamber will you?"
"Uhhh, okay Tails, is this safe?"
"It's not like it's gonna kill ya, you're already dead! You said anything to help a friend Tikal!"
"Okay, okay."
The ball of light entered the chamber and then Tails closed the door. Tails immediately started to flip switches on a control panel.
"See, spirits not only contain the memories and thoughts of a former person, but I discovered they also actually contain a sort of DNA-like coding that is based upon their former bodies. This machine has the ability to reconstruct the spirits former body and put the spirit inside it! In layman's terms it brings people back from the dead!"
Everyone had a total look of shock on their face. Sonic looked especially concerned.
"Tails! Why would you want to bring people back from the dead?"
"I thought it would be cool!"
Suddenly the machine stopped what it was doing.
"Hey Cream, hand me that blanket over there, unfortunately the machine does not reconstruct clothes."
Tails opened up the door of the machine and then grabbed the blanket. Tails seemed to be wrapping it around something in the machine. He then carried an unconscious echidna girl out of it. Everyone couldn't believe this crazy thing of Tails seemed to work. But then Tails seemed quite concerned.
"Oh man, she's not breathing, maybe it didn't totally work."
Tails immediately began to give the girl rescue breathing, he stopped for a minute discouraged, but then suddenly she took a huge breath on her own.
"Yay! She's alive! I did it!"
Everyone was still staring at her though to see if she would wake up. Suddenly her eyes flickered open; she looked around at everyone confused.
"Whaaa. Tails.. What did you do to me?"
She sat up. She realized she could feel the ground underneath her. She moved her arm and held her hand in front of her face. She looked at Tails again, she started to cry uncontrollably."
"Tikal, are you okay? I'm sorry; I should have told you what I was going to do."
She suddenly got up extremely quickly and put her arms around Tails.
"I'm not crying because I am sad, I'm crying because I am happy. Do you know how depressing it is to die at a young age? Tails, you gave me the most wonderful gift imaginable!"
Tails didn't know what to do, Tikal didn't want to let go.
"Um Tikal, do you want to put your towel on again?"
"Ohhh!"
Looking slightly embarrassed she let go of Tails and picked up the towel. Then she saw Knuckles standing right there, totally shocking Knuckles she put him in a death grip and started to pet his back.
"I've always wondered what it would be like to actually touch you!"
"Ti, Tikal, uhhh."
Knuckles had no clue what to do, the main problem being the fact a female of his own species was now affectionately stroking him. Everyone didn't know how to react either. Sonic at first tried to hide it, but then he broke out full laughter.
"HA HA HA! Now you know how I feel when Amy does that to me!"
Amy and Cream thought it was kind of cute.
"Auww, they would make such a cute couple."
Tails was just happy his invention worked and was jumping up and down and kissing the machine.
But Rouge was giving a death look in Tikal's direction.
(So what is Knuckles gonna do now? You'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out!)
