I just know some of you cheated… you all got the names that came to my head… but… now, 2 people got it right! You guys didn't check my profile? At the very bottom it said his name…

Surprisingly, they are the two (non-SEGA) characters that I don't own…

Jayln the Hedgehog (2nd guess)

ShadTikal4ever (1st guess)

No… I didn't cheat by telling them… well, here ya go!

"The one that was named Fear." Flare said.

The maze, right side…

Amy and Kai got to a huge door. Suddenly, a mist of black smoke appeared in front of it. Then, a gray hedgehog came out.

"Aahh!" Amy breathed quicker. "That frightened me…"

Frightened?

"What's wrong?" Kai asked him.

"K-K-Kai… I don't trust him… what if he's one of Eggman's spies or something?" Amy asked.

"What happened?" she asked.

"You can't go in here…" Fear said.

"I… recognize your voice…" Kai whispered.

Fear gave a heart-warming smile.

"Great danger lies ahead…" Fear explained.

"O-okay…" Kai trusted him…

Fear asked her to follow him. Kai nodded and followed him. Amy stayed behind of Kai for further protection.

Central Control Room…

"Damnit! That's it… I'm taking care of Fear… personally…" Flare said, storming out the room.

Eggman gave a sigh of relief and sat down in his chair. Flare came back in.

"YOU BETTER BE DONE WITH THE LASER WHEN I GET BACK!" he yelled.

The maze, forward side…

"Oh, shit!" Knuckles yelled.

A robot hit him on the leg. He kicked the robots down. They kept walking until they got to a huge door.

"Wait!"

Tails and Rouge turned around.

"Don't go in there… it's a trap!" Kai said.

Knuckles sighed and walked up to her.

"How do you know that?" he asked.

Fear appeared out of the black mist he uses to get around and landed in front of Knuckles.

"Because I told her…" Fear said.

"I'm not scared of you!"

"Ah, yes… but you are terribly afraid of…" Fear dropped his voice to a whisper. "Rouge's safety…" he said.

Knuckles looked angry. He looked at Amy. "You didn't say anything, did you?" he asked. Amy shook her head.

"Follow us!" Kai said.

They ran to the left side where Shadow and Jayln were. Shadow and Jayln were already in front of the door. Jayln started pushing it open.

"No! Jayln, don't!" Kai yelled.

She ran up to Jayln. Too late… the open room started sucking some people in. It got Shadow, Jayln, Kai, Vinny, Fear, and Rouge.

The door slammed close. Amy, Knuckles and Tails ran to the door. They couldn't get it to budge.

"Damnit! It's locked!" Knuckles said.

Inside the trap room…

Shadow and Rouge lay unconscious on the icy floor. The room was freezing! Jayln and Kai huddled up to stay warm. Vinny crawled over there.

"Who's the creepy-looking guy?" he asked.

Creepy?

Jayln was really cold and sat down near Kai. She closed her eyes. Poor girl… she's freezing… Kai took of her jean jacket and put it on her best friend.

"That's nice…" Vinny said.

Kai looked at Vinny and Fear. She then looked around the room for an exit.

"V-V-Vinny… look for an exit…" she shivered.

Out of them all, Vinny was the most active. He didn't even look as if he's cold.

(A/N-Yayness! V.B. is saving them all! Not acting like a girl!)

Kai crawled over to Fear. He wasn't cold.

"F-F-Fear… aren't you… c-c-cold?"

"No… I am not… the sadness lying deep within me is boiling… right now, I hear your friends' yells outside… they are concerned…" Fear said.

"Well, since we're stuck here… why don't you tell me more about yourself and my friends' fears?" she asked with a smile.

Fear gave her another warm smile. Kai felt warm just thinking about it.

"Fear… really close… you look-"

"Scary? Creepy? Frightening?" he asked.

Kai laughed. "No! I was going to say that you're really cute…"

Fear looked at her. He felt happiness in her eyes. He felt trust and hope in her soul… best of all… he felt love in her heart.

"What do I fear?" Kai asked, hoping to trick him.

"You fear revealing your secret… and finding your true history…"

Kai nodded. "Yeah…" she said. "How about Shadow?"

"He fears that he might give you and Jayln wrong ideas when he calls you 'stalkers'… deep down he likes you as friends… very deep down… and he fears telling Amy the truth about his feelings for her…"

"It's nice to have a friend who knows people's fears…"

"Friend?" Fear asked.

Kai nodded with a smile. "Yep! Friend…"

Vinny was searching around the icy room for an exit. "Kai! Look up there!" he yelled, pointing up.

Kai and Fear looked up to find a long rope. It led to an opening leading outside.

"We can't get up there!" Kai said.

"Rouge may be able to climb up…" Vinny said.

Kai sighed. "Story of my life… Fear, since we're still here for a couple of minutes, before we get hypothermia… what's your fear?" Kai asked.

I'm stopping right now… If that fear gets into the wrong hands… (or paws…) no one will stop what Flare might do without Fear the hedgehog… R+R.

V.B. and Jayln… how did you get the right answer?
