Chapter 15 Stay Alive

"The robots are closing in." Shadow informed Sonic, as he peeked over the top of the pipe, "What now?"

Sonic set Aurora gently on the floor, then pondered their situation."I don't know.."

Gun fire was all that could be heard in the room, that and the sound of it hitting the pipe.

"I've had enough of this!" Shadow growled, "I'm going to destroy them with my bare hands!"

"You're going kill yourself, you idiot!"

"Perhaps so, but either I'm going to destroy those robots or die trying!"

Shadow leaped over the pipe and started wiping the robots out.

In five minutes he jumped back behind the pipe.

"Done."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"I had Aurora before."

Sonic rolled his eyes.

"Now maybe we could-" BONG!

Dr. Eggman had snuck up on Shadow and hit him over the head with a robot arm knocking him out.

Sonic looked up and grinned stupidly.

"You think you've won, don't you?"

Sonic picked up Aurora and backed away slowly.

"Well, I have news for you, that was only the begining!"

Dr. Eggman snapped his fingers, and when he did the ugliest creature Sonic had ever seen fell from the ceiling.

Sonic grinned, "Is that your son?"

"You think you're so smart. Actually, Sonic, that's a reflection of you."

Sonic scoffed,"What are you talking about?"

"This creature is a part of you, and it's going to tear you apart. Now who's the smart one?"

"We'll see about that!"

Sonic set Aurora out of the way.

"BRING IT!"

And the creature did, it started off with uncontrolable punches, the creature was so fast that Sonic wasn't able to dodge even one.

Sonic kicked trying to trip him but the creature jumped then served a kick of his own sending Sonic across the room.

The hedgehog hurried to his feet. He tried to dodge the in coming air kick but the creature was too fast for him and nailed Sonic right into the wall.

Sonic was really angry now, Sonic wailed his hand toward the creature trying to give it one heck of a punch, but the creature grabbed his fist before it could reach him.

Sonic growled, as he tried to push his fist forward. The creature smiled and started to crush his fist making the pain of it force Sonic to his knees.

The creature kicked Sonic down to his back, then set a foot on Sonic's chest and began to crush him.

Sonic tried to pull the creatures foot off but felt like he was trying to push away a mountain with his pinky.

The hedgehog could hear Eggman laughing as Sonic felt himself collapsing inside. I can't breathe..

Sonic turned his head, Aurora was still there, but she wouldn't be for long if Sonic died. I have to stay alive. I-I can't die.. Not yet..

Sonic played dead for a moment.

The creature slowly removed it's foot as it lowered it's face toward Sonic to make sure he was dead.

Sonic opened his eyes quickly and kicked the monster in the face, then he ran to Aurora and picked her up.

Then he looked around.

"Give up, Sonic!" Eggman roared walking toward him.

Sonic backed away,"Where's Shadow!"

"You won't be worrying about him anymore."

Sonic gasped as a tear slid down his cheek.

" And I won't be worrying about you anymore pretty soon."

Sonic turned to run but instead started looking around.

"What are you going to do? You're on the third floor and there's no way to get out of here unless you-"

CRASH!

"NO! THAT MORON! HE JUMPED THROUGH THE WINDOW!"

Through bleeding from being brutally battered by the glass from the window Sonic ran never stopping to rest.

After running a ways he saw a forest ahead of him.

Better than nothing "I guess I'll stop here I don't have the strength to run all the way home."

Sonic ran deep into it until he came to a brook.

The hedehog quickly made a fire and set Aurora beside it.

Sonic was a bit concerned. Aurora hadn't moved at all since she had fainted, and she was so limp now. What was the matter with her?

Sonic pupils shrunk,"Unless."

Sonic put an ear to her chest, her heart beat was very weak.

Sonic didn't know what to do, so he tried CPR.

He pushed down on her chest then brought his lips to hers to breath air into her, her lips were so cold. It felt like he was kissing death.

"Come on."he said pushing down on her chest, "live!"

Breath.

"Live!"

Push

"Live!"

His blood mixed with sweat started dripping off his face as he continued to try and save her life.

Breath. Push.

"LIVE!"

He put his ear to her chest again.

Her heart beat was fading.

He tried again.

He started to cry as she began to worsen.

"Aurora.."

He put his ear to her chest one last time. Nothing, she was dead.

"AURORA!"

"WORK YOU BLASTED THING!" Dr. Eggman shouted as he tried to fix the remote to Aurora's chip.

Eggman tinkered with a couple more time then, "Finally! I fixed it!"

Dr. Eggman looked at his broken window then walked up to it. He gazed out it smiling in satisfaction.

He threw a silver dagger with a homing devise built into it out the window then laughed.

"Good bye Sonic the hedgehog."

Dr. Eggman pushed the button down.

Sonic walked into the water hoping it would ease the pain of his cuts.

He flinched at the sting but then he just walked out further until it came a little below his waist.

Sonic splashed the water against his face rubbing it against his eyes.

He felt a little better than he had before but the cuts still hurt and so did his heart.

He continued to splash himself until he heard something.

It was the sound of water splashing, someone was walking in the water.

"Sonic," said a voice.

His heart stopped.
