Chapter Twelve: Memories and Action!
" Mother, Father! Where are you!" Huri yelled.
A black hedgehog, with red streaks in his quills stood by her.
" We have to hurry and get out of here Huri! I promise I'll come back and look for your family I promise! I also promised your mom and dad I'd make sure you were safe first!"
" No Shadow, I'm not leaving without them!"
Shadow sighed, " I'm sorry Huri."
Huri looked at him, then felt enormous pain in the back of he head. She saw Shadow standing above her.
" Shadow…..why?"
Huri's world went black. Shadow picked her up and placed her on his back.
" I promised you mother and father I'd keep you safe. I will keep that promise"
He began to run, breaking the sound barrier. Huri opened her eyes for a brief second, to see her whole village go up in flames, then lost consciousness again. When she awoke, she was by a small stream in the woods. She stood up and looked around.
" Shadow? Where are you?"
Huri's eyes darted around; she was scared. Her ears twitched as Shadow came out of the bushes, covered in dirt.
" Huri," his eyes were filled with pain, " I'm sorry."
She looked at him, " what are you sorry for? You didn't do anything."
" Your parents, I'm sorry."
He couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence. Huri shook her head in disbelief.
" No, you're wrong! Shadow where are my mom and dad! Tell me where they are!"
He slowly walked up to her, but she backed away.
" I said tell me where they are!"
" There gone Huri. While you were out I went back to look for survivors, there were none. I'm sorry Huri, your parents are dead."
She fell into the stream, startled by the news.
" No! You're lying! They aren't dead! They aren't! Where are they Shadow!"
He looked at her; her eyes were filled with pain, fear, and anguish.
" I buried everyone. I'll show you there graves if you want."
He grabbed her hand and pulled her up, as soon as she was on her feet she began walking away. She felt his hand on hers again and pulled it away quickly. He grabbed her arm again, tighter this time and pulled her into a hug. She growled and tried to pull away from him, when she could get free, she began hitting him in the chest. He just stood there, and held her tighter.
Tears poured down her cheeks, she stopped hitting him and began to cry into his chest.
" What's her story Shadow?" Rouge asked.
Huri had fallen asleep, and Shadow was still stroking her quills.
" Her name is Huri, she's only 16 years old. Eggman burned down her village. We've been here for about a week maybe two. Her parents are dead."
" Wow. I thought she was older than 16."
Shadow nodded, " I stumbled across her village about three weeks ago. Then Eggman burned it down. We managed to escape, but when I took her to go see the graves…."
" Are you done yet?"
She nodded into his chest, " yeah, I wanna say goodbye to them."
He nodded, and loosened his grip around her, but still held her hand tightly. She smiled and he wiped her tears away with his thumb.
" C'mon, it's going to start raining soon."
" Right."
They took off, him just barely in front of her, still hand in hand. Huri could just barely brake the sound barrier, but that was only because her parents had raised her that way. She was still the fastest runner in her village, or was anyways.
Within seconds, they had reached the gravesite. About one hundred unmarked graves were there. He took her to two graves, in fact the only two that were marked. They shared a headstone.
Huri read them out loud, " Page and Trinity Hinto, beloved mother and father. Died in a fire caused by Eggman."
Shadow placed a hand on her back, as a shadow cased over them.
" Hey! The rain can't have moved in that quickly!"
" Huri! Move away!" Shadow yelled.
A green light surrounded her and she felt her feet lift off the ground.
" What's going on! SHADOW HELP!"
He ran into the light and grabbed her, holding onto her protectively.
" Shadow, what's going on?"
" Eggman," Shadow growled, " don't worry, I'll protect you Huri."
Huri stared at the ship, and held onto Shadow for dear life.
" Shadow, I'm scared."
" Don't worry Huri, I'm here, I won't let him hurt you."
Huri shut her eyes she could hear voices. She knew one was Shadow's, but the other one was strange to her. ' It must be that Eggman character Shadow was talking about.'
" I never thought I'd find you Shadow. I was looking for someone else, but now that I have you back, how would you like to join me once again."
" No Eggman, I don't even remember what happened. Now let us go!"
" I'm sorry I can't do that Shadow, I can use you to test something for me."
" Well, then let her go, she has nothing to offer you, and no where to go since her home was burned down. If you let her go I'll stay and allow you to do whatever test you want to do to me. Just let her go."
" So she was apart of that village I burned down? I thought I had killed all of them, no matter."
Shadow's eyes grew wide as he felt Huri shake.
" You burned down my village?" She stood up and stared at Eggman, " my mom and dad are dead, and all my friends. You killed them all?"
A few tears ran down her cheeks, but then she heard him laugh. She felt Shadow's hand on her shoulder, but shook it off. She ran at Eggman.
" I'm going to kill you!"
" Huri! No!"
Shadow grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him.
Eggman continued to laugh, " I see you care for this girl. I won't harm her, as long as you do as I say."
Shadow let a low growl escape his lips, but he didn't move. He could always try to escape, but what about Huri. Sure, she could hold her own, but she wasn't mentally ready for this.
" Fine, but I want to know that you're going to take good care of her. If she is harmed in anyway, I'll kill you."
" I'm glad you agreed to my terms, take them to a cell Magna."
Magna was about as tall as Gamma, except he had no gun arm, instead his chest compartment was bulky and you could just make out a gun barrel. He was green, and his number was 1005. Magna stepped forward and grabbed Shadow and Huri's arm and began to pull them away from Eggman.
" Eggman captured us. He threatened to hurt her, so I went along with his plans."
" I feel bad now, Eggman was probably looking for me."
Huri stirred in her sleep, but Shadow just kept stroking her quills.
" It looks like she's having a nightmare."
Shadow let a small sigh escape his lips.
Magna threw them into a cell; Shadow took the main force of the blow, seeing as he was holding Huri. The robot came in and chained Shadow to the wall by the neck, but left Huri alone. She sat up, and looked at him, his eyes were closed.
" Shadow?" Huri gave him a little shake, " Shadow? Are you okay?"
He opened his eyes and looked at her, a small smile crossed his lips.
" Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?"
She nodded, " Shadow, how does that man know you."
" I don't really remember much, but I know I was hurt and he put me in a stasis pod, then I was released by a bat and helped save the world. Do you remember that incident about a year ago, with that monster the Metal Overlord?"
Huri nodded and stared at him.
" I helped with that. Everyone involved seemed surprise to see me, they said something about this ARK thing, they said I should be dead and other things."
" So you know him, but don't really know him?"
" Exactly. I don't know who or what I am. All I know is my name is Shadow the Hedgehog."
" I can live with that."
She smiled at him as he sat up.
(One week later…I think?)
Magna came in, with two food trays. They had been in there for about a week, maybe more. Eggman fed them three times a day. The robot grabbed Shadow's arm.
" Master Robotic needs you now Shadow. Please come with me now, do not worry, the female will not be harmed."
" Just a second, I need to tell Huri something."
He knelt down next to her.
" I want you to run when I say to ok?"
Huri just looked at him. What was going on? Shadow stood up and walked next to Magna.
" Huri RUN!"
Shadow punched Magna and he fell down.
" What are you doing just standing there! I said run!"
Red lights were flashing and Magna was on his back. More robots were coming towards them. Huri stood up and ran in the opposite direction.
" Shadow, c'mon hurry up!"
" Just run Huri, I'll follow you!"
She couldn't see him anymore, there were to many robots. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she continued to run. Then, she heard a scream of pain and knew it was Shadow's.
Huri opened her eyes and shot upward. Shadow grabbed her shoulder.
" It's okay Huri, I'm here. Just relax."
She let out a sigh.
" I was having a bad dream, about what happened."
" I know, we could tell by your facial expressions."
" Shadow, what did Eggman do to you? You seem a little different."
" I remember who I am. Eggman made me remember."
Huri smiled, " really? I'm glad for you. It's nice to know who you are."
Shadow smiled, " sure is."
Rouge watched them, as Huri leaned back on Shadow, totally contempt. She smiled and remembered how she would do that to Knuckles, just to piss him off. She really missed him.
" Huri, we're going to escape again, but this time we won't fail."
Huri nodded at Shadow's statement.
" I believe you."
A robot came in carrying two food trays. Shadow started gasping for breath, and Huri panicked. Rouge started to scream in pain, holding her legs.
" Hey, Mr. Robot! Help my friends are dying!"
The robot dropped the trays and ran down the hall, his hand turning into a key. It opened the cell. Shadow smiled, as he grabbed one of Huri and Rouge's legs.
" CHAOS CONTROL!"
They appeared behind the robot, and Shadow kicked it into the cell hard, then Rouge quickly shut the door.
" We have to hurry, I don't know how much time we have until Eggman knows we've escaped, we should hurry!" Shadow yelled.
" Why didn't you do that before Shadow!" Huri screamed at him.
" I didn't know I could!"
Rouge laughed as they started running towards the exit.
Eggman sat in his pilot chair, smiling as looked at the radar. Sonic had made no move against him, and in an hour, he would have the location of the final Chaos Emerald. Rouge stopped as she looked at a clock, it was 8:00AM.
" Shadow, I thought you said the food came at 7:00AM." Rouge stated.
" It must have come an hour late, Eggman could have been torturing us because Huri's escape, or trying to weaken your mind for the probing. Either way, we're free now so lets not dwell on that!"
The Egg Carrier shook violently, and the three were thrown into a wall. Eggman looked at his radar, nothing appeared, and then the Egg Carrier shook again.
" What's going on!" Eggman screamed.
The Egg Carrier shook for a third time. Eggman let out a yell of frustration.
" Prepare to surface the Egg Carrier! NOW!"
Cream smiled as she saw the Egg Carrier start to go upwards.
" Tails you read? The Egg Carrier is going up."
" I read you Cream, I take it Eggman didn't fire at you, am I correct?"
" Yes, you are."
" So now I know my new invention works, I see the Egg Carrier, you should prepare to surface too Cream."
" Roger, over and out."
Cream took off her headset and looked at Omega, smiling.
" We have to surface now Omega."
BACK IN THE EGG CARRIER
" What in the world is going on!" Rouge yelled as she looked out the window.
" We're going up!" Huri yelled.
" I knew this looked familiar!"
Huri and Rouge looked at Shadow.
" This isn't an underwater base, this is the Egg Carrier!"
" SHIT!" Rouge yelled.
" Why would this thing be surfacing?"
" It must be that blue hedgehog and his friends."
Rouge smiled, ' Knuckles, you actually came for me?' The Egg Carrier stopped moving and they stood up.
" We should try to get to the bridge," Rouge said smiling.
" I'm just gunna keep quite and follow you two, since you know what you're doing."
They started to run towards the bridge again.
" Look! I was right, it's the Egg Carrier!"
" Ok, you were right Tails, now land this thing so we can find Rouge!"
" Okay Knux, you don't have to yell at me!"
