Chapter 21 – VS-9 A.K.A – Havak (Not a spell error)

(Sub Title: Child Support?)

Topez continued to grip her bleeding leg, she was losing her vision. Everything had fuzzy blur to it, she couldn't feel her leg and she barely any strength. She turned her head to see the wolf thing, still standing coolly. Knuckles appeared unfazed but inside he was freaking out, sure he was strong and he could take on a lot of things but this is way over his head.

Simple robotic warriors and other listings – fine and easy but experimental and enhanced projects of unknown nature – not good…

Sonic stared outside the helicopter's open side at Shadow; he could see it was getting late, who was starting to cough up blood.

"Hey! You okay?" He asked, Shadow looked up and wiped his mouth leaving stains of blood across the side of his glove. Shadow put his hand on the floor of the helicopter and one on the side.

"I'm coughing up blood what do you think?" He coughed up blood again, Sonic disgusted looked away.

"Oh c'mon man! Not in front of me like that ugh!" Sonic covered his eyes with his arm. Suddenly the window cracked and cracked more.

"What the…oh shit, run!" Sonic began to scramble with out the seat. Shadow looked and saw an old friend, CNS-1.

"He's still alive?" Shadow wiped his mouth as he reached for Sonic.

Sonic's feet were on the seat as he continued to drag the rest of his body out the seat and out of the copter.

CNS-1's coil broke through the window and grabbed one of Sonic's ankles. It was now a tug of war with the blue boy as the rope. Shadow still weak was able to hold his ground pulling Sonic closer to him, but CNS-1 had a strong grip on Sonic. As Sonic began scream in pain as the coil's blades began to cut into his old wounds and began to tear new ones.

Topez could see both fights from her view, Knuckles and the thing moving in a circle waiting to pounce on each other. The helicopter that was shaking back and forth with a blue hedgehog screaming curses out loud like a little girl. She looked her side; she didn't notice it before, three corpses; one control group specialist and two marines. She could see objects on the ground; she could identify one on its side: an AR-15, she began to drag her body towards the gun.

With Rouge, Amy, and Cindy; now Tails and Cream as well: late night

Amy for the first time in her life was taking liquor shots. Cindy's panic had spread to her; Amy was the table, she had her hand on the glass and was shaking it violently. The house was quiet, Cindy had clam down, and Samantha was still asleep. Rouge roamed the house silently thinking. Tails was the computer doing something, Cream was watching…everyone. As Amy took another shot finishing her cup off she reached for the bottle, it was full before; now it was three quarters of the way gone.

"Amy, I don't think you should have anymore." Cream said as she walked over to the table. Amy was not showing any sign of being drunk but it could be like other people and just take a while. Amy poured more in to her cup, finishing the bottle. Cream let out another bottle from the table cabinet underneath her. Cream shook her head in disappoint as Amy poured the glass down, and pour a new one.

"I'm losing it Cream, now I know how Cindy feels. I-I just can't get the though out my head! This is more serious then anything we've ever done before! Eggman is one thing, but the government? I don't think I can take this anymore! What if he doesn't come back?" Amy took a drink from her cup.

"Relax Amy, they'll be fine." She said with confidence, Cream never had any doubts with her friends. She watched Amy take a gulp of her drink…again. "Alright that's enough Amy." She grabbed the now half empty second bottle of liquor.

"I'm fine…I'm fine…everything's okay…he's fine…he knows whats he's doing…" Amy took deep breaths as she gripped the plastic cover on the table.

Cream watched Amy take more deep breaths slowly. She was fighting it, her fear. Cream never knew that specific feeling; you're loved one, going off on something so dangerous that even they know they might not come back. As she left the room to hide the bottle, she finally heard her friend crack. It was Amy's turn now; she began to sob as the worse thoughts came into her head.

"Rouge, Amy's started, get down here!" Cream yelled as she hid the bottle in the bathroom's cabinets.

With Light; Military facility forest area

The footprints were fresh, but his electrical visioning couldn't lock-on to the signature, so he couldn't track it with that.

"I hate this job…" He blinked with a deep thought so his visioning was thermal. He could see the entire forest was blue, with a few orange, yellow and red colored spots.

No good, no heat signature on the prints. He blinked once more with deep thought; psionic lock-on visioning, the air had smoke like waves and lines all flowing in one direction. The forest was colored white, the air waves and lines ranged from blue to black, but the majority of them, were the energy was most concentrated were deep red.

The head set that he was wearing began to give off small double beeping sounds.

"Light, did you find him?" It was Herman, how he hated him.

"If I did, you think I'd still be out here? No I haven't, I'll call you when I have!" Light was still mad he was given the assignment of tracking VS-9.

"Watch your tone, I can have you strip down to you're cybernetic interior if I wanted too. Just find him and bring him back and don't fight him, lead him here if you have to!" Herman cut off the radio. Light mumbled to himself.

Light began to walk when he heard a rustle in the bushes. He looked towards the area of the sound. It was brimming with red lines;

'Havak, where are you…damn it!'

"Show your self!" Not a sound, not even the crickets made any noise.

Not good at all…sudden the ground shook, there he was. He was on one knee, with one fist driven into the ground. He made no eye contact.

Light and Havak were rivals, Light a mimic and improved version of Project: Shadow with the exclusion of the immortality and healing ablilty. Havak was a psionic energy elite Nightmare Project, his name was given to him by his main creator and experimenter; all the power and destruction he caused, Havak seem like the best name. He was designed for heavy ops, assault and total destruction category missions but he was very good in stealth and covert categories too. Light used cybernetics, speed and stealth, but he was good with other categories. Herman and Havak's creator Mark Jin were rivals in their work, so it naturally passed on to their creations. But Havak was originally a human and in the recovery of his memories, he killed the bastard who tore him up and reaped his hellish figure.

Havak once a tall, tan, handsome Hispanic man, Juan Ramirez; worked for the country he loved and protect in special ops and then was betrayed by the ones he worked for.

The five fingers he had were now, three large fingers on each hand. His body, now skeletal and energy fused; lay inside a black colored exo-suit, with dark, heavy armor covering it. The armor gave his actual small figure a big one; his arms armored as well were much bigger and thicker than they really were. His legs were the same as his arms; he had a flexible metal like a rectangle shape going up and down hung from his waist and reach below his knees; he had the same thing but smaller on the sides of his legs. He wore large, sleek, boots on his feet. His entire body had little pieces of his armor and exo-skeleton that glowed a dim and sometimes bright red. Above his chest, he had no visible neck; there was round glass oval shape the started in a V-shape from his mid chest and that curved up and back down to where the back of his lower neck would and beginning of his back would start.

Underneath that glass was what was some called his face, Havak believed he had no face; it was pretty much true. Within the glass was red smoke, hidden in the smoke, two piercing, glowing white eyes filled with anger. The glow came from a skeleton skull tormented with horror and pain, stained with blood that never faded and the red smoke flowed through the holes from his eyes, mouth, nose, and underneath it.

Havak obeyed and feared no one; he had lost just about everything he valued; ethics, life, good, hope and love. His rage was unleashed on those unfortunate enough to meet him.

Some questioned if he had lost his sanity or the human in him. Those that said yes; it was because he killed and went wild on some workers and level entire unlabeled, unrecorded organizations to the ground without pause or merciful thought.

Those that said no; (Usually psychologists) supported it with the reframing from killing or attacking certain targets such as woman and children; saying that he his aware of his power and was aware of himself. Bottom line, Havak was the most dangerous Nightmare Project ever spawned; his emotions and his psionic power were a force never to be messed with; Light disagreed and scoffed at him, wondering why if something so deadly would be kept alive if it was so uncontrollable.

Light stared at the slowly rising project. Havak and Light always been kept at separate ends of the base and always in containment if near each other. Now they were in the open; free to settle out this once and for all…

"Havak…"

Havak's voice was echoed, hollow and ghostly, "No one is here to stop me; I will be free…"

"You know why I'm here, come quietly and you don't have to get hurt…"

Havak gave a low growl, "I've been here long enough! My freedom was taken from me; I will at least be free to my own will. Even if it means I have to kill every person on this base!" Light pulled out his emerald, the glowing center faded; within in his hands grew bright light of lighting type energy surging from hand to hand in a beam form.

"That's how it is then…" Light growled.

Light's communicator went off again, "Light I told you! Bring him in, do not fight him and do as you're told for once in your life!" Herman kept screaming curses.

Light threw the headset that had a little voice screaming his name off to the side. Havak approached him slowly.

With Sonic, Shadow & CNS-1

Topez dragged her body slowly, no one notice her; the AR-15 on her back. Her leg was able to move a little bit, but it still seared with pain each time she moved it. And crawling on the ground wasn't exactly pleasant.

She could see CNS-1 a few yards away, this was good enough. She pulled the gun off her back. She held it under her arm and aimed, her arms were shaky. Her pain and the fear of missing filled her. She turned her head and saw Knuckles wrestling with the wolf project. He was having a hard time keeping it off, it kept leaping and clawing at him. Knuckles had also suffered a bite to his shoulder. He was holding his ground though, that's good.

She looked again to CNS-1; he pulled his hand back and turned his body to the side. He snapped Sonic back through the small window cutting his body as he brought him out. Sonic hung upside down by one ankle, his arms hung loosely, blood dripped from his leg and few cuts on his face began to bleed more. Topez pulled the spring on the back, locking the bullet; setting it on full auto she aimed.

Shadow saw the disgusting and yet relieving sight. CNS-1 looked confidently over the limped Sonic, but it would be short lived. Shadow saw as bullets poured into him, so fast and powerful CNS-1 lost his grip with the coil letting Sonic go. CNS-1 grunted as each bullet's force moved his body as they hit him. Some tore through him and flew out the back, other poured on inside him. Blood burst out of each hole one made; as they piled into his to his body some of the holes torn into his exo-skeleton inside grew bigger. As the last bullets moved up his chest, they flipped him over when they hit his face.

It was done, CNS-1 lie in his own pool of blood. His body face-down but slightly turned upward, revealing the damage dealt by the power of the gun, tore his chest up and left his upper body like Swiss cheese in the middle of a WW2 battle crossfire.

Shadow looked over and saw Topez rest her head on the ground. The AR-15 lie a few inches away from her body, the tip of the gun smoking. He walked slowly, exhausted from the tugging with CNS-1. He went around the helicopter and saw Sonic's battered body on the ground face-down.

"Is he dead?" Sonic groaned as he tried to turn his head.

"Here you see yourself." Shadow purposely turned Sonic's causing a searing pain.

"Motherfucker! That hurt, oh…holy shit, man he really got it." Sonic observed the torn project. Shadow let a small chuckle, something he could use right now.

All that was left was that wolf thing.

With Havak & Light

Light was surrounded by a red glow on his body and floating in mid air. Havak's psionic energy had been crushing Light. He held Light a few yards in the air and a few feet from him.

Snapping his arm to the side, Light flew to the side slammed into a tree knocking it down. Havak walked over to his injured rival, he picked him up by his neck; suspending him by hand up in the air.

"Give…up…" Havak said grimly, Light gripped Havak's thick hand trying to pry it off.

"Fuck…you!" Light wheezed he kicked Havak in his chest area; heavily armored Light's kicked still had crushing blows. Dropping him and back away Havak bent forward checking his stomach area for damage. Off guard Light used his emerald energy and fused his fist with the white glow and punched Havak straight in the glass in his face, breaking most of the dome-like area; on the side, jagged edges were left.

Havak screamed in pain as the red smoke flow down, as if it was heavier than air. But it kept flowing out; Havak's face was no longer hidden in the smoke. His blood stain skull was revealed and was clenched by his hands. The smoke never ended, it slowly flowed up and dropped down the glass remaining on the edges. Havak fell to his knees screaming gripping his skull. His Cryo-dome protected the skull and kept the chilling smoke around it, it was vital to his stability; without it, no one knows what could happen…

Light charged for him, the emerald's energy surging from hand to hand. He wrapped the beam like energy around Havak's skull; he forced every bit of strength into his hands. Havak screamed as his head burned with the intensity of the energy.

Light began to notice something; all of his energy had not tinted Havak's face. Then Light's worst fear came true…Havak began to stand up. Light flipped away, Havak roared once, he raised his hand slowly. The red glow around Light came back, his body rose in the air despite his attempted to fight it. Havak swung his hand down, Light was spike in to ground face first. Groaning Light was lifted into the ground again, with a snap to the side he was thrown in another tree, he wasn't given a chance to breathe; Havak threw him across into another tree knocking that one down.

Havak laid his beaten rival on the ground, he walked over to him. Through Havak's vision, he could see that Light had broken circuitry in him. Havak picked him by his leg, he threw Light over his body and slammed his foot on Light's chest; with that much weight; Light's chest was broken.

Light could not move, not one part of his body had any feeling. The heavy foot on his chest was lifted, allowing him a short breath but then Havak kicked him on his rib area and sent him skidding and flipping on the ground. Havak approached him and stopped a few yards away instead; the pain that he had caused by breaking the dome only unleashed Havak's rage. That same red glow appeared again…

Havak was using both hands now, before it was just one hand. In one motion Havak lift both his hands to his chest. His arms were extended in front of him went he brought them closer bringing Light's body closer to him. Havak turned his hands over palm side up, that flipped Light face down. Havak then held his hands straight up, finger tips to the sky. Light groaned in pain as he was forced to stand up in the air.

Havak slowly let one hand down, his fingers extended and his palm flat. A long staff began to extent from out of nowhere. It seemed like about four feet, the middle thicker than the silver extensions at both sides. Both ends had a long blade that extended straight out, like a needle.

Light looked in fear at the staff that Havak had in one hand, his other fingers tighten into fist. The glow around Light grew brighter, then suddenly he had limited movement of his hands and legs; he was partly healed! In this realization Light looked up and saw Havak gone?

The glow disappeared …but why? Light fell to the ground and slowly rose to his feat. He groaned as he looked around, nothing…not even his psionic visioning was getting a reading. Light began to walk away from his defeat, holding on to the trees for support.

He did not even make it to three feet from where he fell when a medium sized rope-like wire wrapped his body and snapped him backwards. Tugging him backwards in midair the wire loosened, that glow came back…Havak.

He was forcibly turned around he saw the wire quickly receded into Havak's other arm; the glow around Light disappeared again. Before he could even fall, Havak hurled the staff straight at him.

Light was slammed into a tree, he moved his hands towards his stomach. The staff pinned him against it, he gripped the staff and tried to push it forwards and out of him. Light groaned as he tried to move it.

Havak watched Light's hands loosen on the staff, his legs drooped and hung loosely in the air. Havak grabbed the area of the staff that Light had his on, the middle. The other end of the staff; the side that did not penetrate Light, receded back into the staff, both sides did at the same time. Light's body fell to the ground, Havak tucked the staff back into his arm. Havak walked away from the motionless body like nothing had happened.

The red glow appeared over Havak's, in the shape of where his old glass dome was. It remained there for a few second then disappeared; he had his dome again…it filled with the red cryo-smoke again. His hollow chuckle was heard through out the forest, Light remained on the ground, his headset beeped again;

"Light! Respond Light! What happened to VS-9? Light?" Herman received no answer, yet the white colored body laid right next to the headset.

With Knuckles & Wolf thing

"How do you kill this thing?" Knuckles yelled as he punched the wolf project in its jaw, making it flinch. The wolf thing growled, it had made no damage besides the lucky bite it got his shoulder.

The project back down and relaxed. Knuckles took advantage of this to get a quick breath…bad idea. The project let out a howl, as the howl echoed through the area ringing everyone's eardrums; its teeth began to glow a bright white, with a tint of blue. Its eyes a solid cold blue, Knuckles rubbed his shoulder wound as he watched this thing get hyped up. It wasn't bleeding that much but it still was sore; the skin on the shoulder had been tore a bit. He watched the project charge at him, putting one hand out; place one flat against his stomach.

The project disappeared right in front of him as he took a swing with the hand on his stomach. Knuckles searched blindly for the project, he turned around only to be kicked down by it. It reappeared in mid air and jumped on him, Knuckles kept pushing it up to keep it mouth away. Knuckles was losing his strength, the project had gotten a good shot at his rib with two claws.

It snapped at him once more, stopping only a few millimeters away from his face. Knuckles noticed a red glow around the project. The thing began to move in the air, attempting to run away from the glow. Knuckles clenched his ribs with one hand and turned slight and saw a new foe approaching them. It was Havak…he was focus on the project ignoring everyone else he walked by including Topez who began to crawl back to area where she found the gun to look for a new ammo clip.

"Hunter…where are they?" Havak asked in what seemed to be a clam voice, though his voice still had haunting ring. But Knuckles wondered why was he talking to it? It didn't seem like that type that could talk.

Havak began to lose his patience (if he had any) "Where are they?" Havak slammed Hunter into the ground, breaking the concrete floor. Then Hunter began to whimper like a dog, which just shocked Knuckles and everyone else who could here it. Havak kept asking the same question, when Hunter did respond to him he tossed it or slammed it into the ground.

Finally after six slams and two air tosses, Hunter finally growled. Havak understood it; everyone else only heard a growl. Havak set Hunter gently, who stretch out and shook it head and neck. The event seemed over, Havak did not move, but Hunter suddenly disappeared.

Havak still did not move, he held his hand up slightly, as if had a cup or something in his hand. Knuckles stared mesmerized into his cloudy dome, the red smoke compelled him. He began to notice that Havak was doing something, he couldn't tell what.

Suddenly a yelp! It was Hunter, in mid air behind Havak. The glow surrounded it, Havak used both hands now. He put them above his head clapped together. He slowly brought them up and then down in front of him. Hunter was brought over and hover in the air in front of him. The project began to run helplessly in the air, trying to run off. Havak began to pull his hands slowly apart, Hunter began to howl and yelp in pain. He suddenly spiked his hands apart quickly, Hunter's body was spilt in half; blue blood and energy bolts began splashed everywhere in that area. Havak remained untouched, Hunters body slid off to the sides, with what looked like skeletal structure sticking out of each body half.

(Thank you Mortal Kombat! And no Havak was not taken from that game, I've had this idea for a while, the death of Hunter was taken from Mortal Kombat, that's all.)
"Oh I think I'm gonna be sick…" Sonic cupped his mouth.

"Holy shit, he barely moved a muscle!" Shadow said leaning against the helicopter. He looked around, was he good or bad?

Havak turned his sights on Topez, he lifted her body slowly. She groaned and whimpered in fear. The red glow began to grow brighter around her left leg, the one that had been injured. Topez watched in astonishment as her bleeding stopped and saw the bite wound seal up, the pain she had before disappeared. When she felt fine, Havak set her down gently, Topez took a knee and watch with caution.

Havak walked a few feet in Sonic direction and levitated him; Sonic hovered in the air he couldn't move. Havak held one hand in the air; his other hand began to pull back on something, like if he had a rope in his hand. Shadow stared stupidly as he saw pink liquid float from Sonic's wounds into the air and saw them fly off into the forest. The red glow grew bright around Sonic's body as his wounds slowly sealed up. Setting him down gently, Sonic still felt weak.

Havak lifted Knuckles this time, with both hands. He laid him flat in the air, Havak moved his right arm in a circle, while the other hand held Knuckles up. White liquid began to spiral down onto the floor from his shoulder wound. All of his wounds healed as Havak set him down away from the liquid on the floor.

Havak turned towards Sonic and Shadow's direction; he lifted and brought Shadow closer to him. He held him up in the air like if he was standing, Shadow coughed up some blood as he stood straight up. Havak healed the cut wound his neck and a wound on his side that Shadow did not notice before. The red glow intensified around him, so of the inner pain Shadow felt went away but not much more than that.

"I can do no more…" Havak said quietly, he set Shadow down. Everyone came slowly towards them.

"Who are you? Why did you help us? Not that I'm not grateful of course!" Knuckles said fearful that the same thing that happened to Hunter might happen to him. Havak remained silent staring at Shadow.

"Havak…twisted Nightmare Project: VS-9 work of Mark Jin—"

"—You mean that researcher who died a year ago?" Topez interrupted. Havak looked at her, his mind focus on her, the memory came back.

"Yes…" He voice hollowly silent. With that answer Topez remained calm but still on the edge, she heard about the incident. She heard that he had been skinned and torn apart brutally and left in his own pool of blood; the horror of the matter, Mark Jin was still alive when he was on the ground.

Topez had no clue what to do, she knew she was her orders, kill all Nightmare Projects out side the base. But this one just healed her and saved their lives, what should she do?

"Are you going to try to take me back?" Havak asked her, Topez had no idea what to say.

"Umm…excuse me? Why were you talking to that thing?" Sonic asked in fear. Havak could sense it.

"First of all…I'm not going to kill you…and Hunter told me about the assault group heading over here."

"Assault group, why? And why'd you kill it?"

"All projects and experiments are loose and trying to find a way out of here…Hunter was trying to kill me as well."

Topez remained silent, staring into the glass dome filled with red smoke and glowing white eyes.

"Topez…do you remember a Juan?" Havak asked, Topez froze…she stared at him with fear now.

She gasped as she realized what he meant, "Oh my god…is that you? What happened to you? Everyone says you were K.I.A., but how?" Topez's partner and best friend stood before her… (Not in love okay, Just friends.)

"Mark got me in secret; he turned me into this…the K.I.A. story is just a cover up…" Havak held his hands up and made them glow. Topez stood in horrid shock, why?

"C'mon you have to get out of here. That strike team won't care about you."

"Wait what about you?" Shadow asked

"I'll find my own way out and I'll find my own purpose. Something besides destroying everything in sight…I need more, something different…"

"Alright then, c'mon you heard the…umm…man…uh…thing?" Sonic stare in pure fear as Havak did not laugh at his comment.

"Topez…go, it's too late for me to come back to the world…" Topez remained silent, she did not want to agree but she knew it was true. She left for the other copter knowing her best friend as he was, not the twisted destructor they made him.

They started up the helicopter, Topez in the pilot seat and Sonic in the one next to her, Shadow and Knuckles in the back.

As they flew off from the base, everyone saw the strike group; the forest was being burned down. They saw vague figures shooting fire and others with bursts of light, probably guns. But Topez notice that where heading in Juan's (Havak) direction…

"He'll be fine…"Sonic assured putting his hand on her shoulder.

"WHAT?" Shadow asked. The roaring sound from the copters blades was very loud.

"HUH?" Sonic yelled back.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Shadow cupped his ear hoping to hear better.

"FUCK YOU TOO!"

"WHAT?"

Knuckles rolled his eyes; this was going to be a long ride.

Outside Tails Place (Where everyone else is) early morning, two days since (yeah doesn't seem like but I say it is, I what I say goes!)

"Home, thank you god! Sweet, non-death filled, non-trouble home!" Sonic shouted as he bowed in front of the house.

"Last I recall this is Tails's place…" Shadow said sarcastically.

"Same difference…" Sonic rolled his eyes. Knuckles walked up slowly to the house and rang the doorbell.

Inside the house

Upon hearing the door bell Tails got off the computer, "Maybe that's the pizza I ordered! Better be, it's been like forty minutes. There better chicken on it like I asked—" Tails stopped in the middle of his sentence, he looked at his three friends, "—hey! You're not the pizza guy!"

Knuckles smacked Tails on the head, what kind of welcome was that?

"It's like six in the morning, pizza? Boy you're nuts." Shadow said laughing.

"Tails who is it! I'm hungry—" Cream froze in place, they came home! She screamed at the top of her lungs, "Rouge, Cindy, Amy come here!"

The three heroes had come in by now, and were standing observing the place.

As Rouge came down and caught a slight glimpse of her beloved echidna she jumped at him.

"Oh thank god! Your home, I was so worried!" She smothered him with a big kiss, he held her kissing back; Cindy tackled her man onto the couch, smothering him as well. Sonic watched as the lovers kissed. But he wondered where Amy was?

"Cream?" He started.

"Yeeaa…about Amy…she kind had a little too much of the drink you keep under the table cabinet…" Cream twiddled with her fingers.

"Wait…you mean…" Sonic never expected anyone to find that.

"She's upstairs, on the bed…hung over and still kinda drunk…" Cream laughed nervously, Sonic disappointed shook his head and walked upstairs.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine! Now let me breathe!" Knuckles said pushing Rouge's face back, breaking their kiss. He smiled at his wife who smiled back.

"Missed you." She said sweetly as she stroked his dreads.

"You think I had fun?" Knuckles chuckled, he looked to the couch. "Wow, they're still going at it" He laughed as Shadow and Cindy continued to kiss.

"Now…about this pizza, what place delivers at six in morning?" Knuckles asked looking at Tails.

"I forgot the name but they're late—" The bell rang…it better be him. Tails opened the door and saw a guy hold four boxes of pizza.

"Here you go, that'll be 24.66" He said, Tails gave him the exactly amount. "What, no tip?"

"Here's one get a hybrid!" Tails slammed the door and heard a 'fuck you' Knuckles stared at him, "What, shoulda driven faster, not my fault he drives slower than Cream's mom." As he turned around he found two brown eyes glaring angrily at him…Cream, "I was joking! You know I love your mom!"

Cream wasn't amused, he made cracks like that lately and she didn't like it. "Just shut up and give me the food!" She took the boxes from his hands.

"Hey! Those were for me!"

"All four? You can't eat four pizzas!" Shadow finally broke his kiss with Cindy just to say that.

"Well I was doing work all night and well…tracking and making a signal to contact you isn't easy! But its over now…Cream I still get some right?" No answer…his stomach growled, "Right? Baby c'mon I was kidding!" He began to walk into the kitchen.

"Since when does he call her baby?" Shadow asked moving Cindy off of him. Everyone shrugged.

Upstairs; With Sonic & Amy

Sonic opened the door and walked in towards the bed; it was a simple room, one bed, white walls and dresser against the wall and a mirror on the wall. It was the guest room. Amy was asleep on the bed, she seemed fine.

"Amy…I'm back Amy." He shook her gently, her eyes fluttered open. She groaned as she sat up.

"Sonic? (Gasp) Sonic, it you!" She hugged him letting out a few tears, he laughed. She didn't seem drunk or hung over and her breath smelled fine.

"Hey, how you been?" He asked sweetly stroking her quills. "Cream said you've drinking is that true?" Amy pulled away and looked away shamefully.

"I was nervous…you were gone for two days I just broke down and drank a bottle and a half…"

"And a half! Amy you know how much is in one of those bottles? One is more than 40oz!"

"I know but I couldn't help myself, I felt better when I drank it so I kept going till Cream hid the rest…" Sonic let a sigh, he hugged her once more. She smile and sighed in relief that he had finally come back.

"Wait, if you drank more than one…why are you sober and not hung over like Cream said you were?"

"We'll I was when I first woke up, that was last night around 12' but I cleaned up—I don't know! I'm just glad you just came and not earlier or you would have been disappointed…" She looked away as she remember how messed up she felt that time.

"Well you're okay and that all I really care about…wait (sniff) I smell pizza! Amy look I haven't eaten in—" Amy laughed, and gave him a wave; giving the go ahead. He zoomed downstairs; she got off the bed and went for the bathroom next to the room.

Downstairs; Sonic, Cream & Tails

"What part of 'cheese only' don't you understand? Woman I said cheese!" Sonic argued with Cream who had give two slices of cheese and a pepperoni. She had spatula in one hand and had a fist in the other.

"First of all, I'm under twenty! So watch who you call woman, second of all if don't stop bitching I'll slap you silly with this spatula and don't think I won't, cause I will!" She yelled in his face. She hated being call a 'woman, young woman' or anything like it meant to her that she was getting old…

"Cream…I liked you when you were younger…and nicer…and quieter and more obedient (Smack!) Ow! Son of a bitch! Cream that hurts!" He set the plate down on the table and rubbed the side of his head.

Tails laughed at this but Sonic looked at him a glared, then he showed a smile.

"Hey, she's you're girl the one who's gonna have to put up with her for the rest of your life!" Tails sat the table quietly at the comment Sonic made…

"And I got one word for you pal…whipped (Hard smack)" Sonic rubbed the side of his head more. Cream stood open mouthed at what he said…and of all people her? Cream turned away and pouted and blushed at what he said. Tails sat quietly blushing too.

(Ask me if you don't know what whipped means, girls that do know: I'm sorry but I had use it for Cream ha-ha.)

Knuckles walked in with Rouge, who had not let go of him since he came. Rouge grabbed a slice of pizza and gobbled it down. Everyone stared at her, including Knuckles.

"What, I'm hungry!" She said blushing slightly.

"Oh you are faat…you ate that slice in less than twenty seconds!" Tails said laughing.

"I am not fat! Knuckles am I fat?" She looked at her husband who confirmed her beliefs. Tails sighed; old people never up to date…

"Okay listen up, there a difference between 'fat' which is overweight and 'faat' which just means you eat a lot! Any one can 'faat' but only fat people are 'fat' okay? Jesus; old people!" Tails sighed again, receiving a glare from Knuckles and Rouge.

(No offense to any fat people out there, I'm serious.)

Then a familiar face finally came down, Samantha! The little girl was hungry and held her nap toy tucked under her arm. Cream bought it for her second birthday and she had never left it since. It was purple snake, with yellow eyes and a blue spine back, Samantha loved it, she slept with it. It was her version of a nap blanket.

"Cheese." She said quietly tugging on Creams skirt. Cream gave the little one what she wished for and continued serving Tails more pizza with chicken.

"Keep it coming…more…more…—"

"—Tails you have five already—"

"—Did I ask for how many I had? No! C'mon more…okay last one—" She glared at him and the eight slices of pizza he had. She picked up a napkin and was about to hand it to him;

"—Did I ask for a napkin? No…" Cream had crossed her arms by now, she had enough with that attitude. Her glare made him uncomfortable, "I'm playing with you! Baby you know I love you!" He gave her a quick kiss on the lips making her smile and blush and forget what she was mad about. He sat at the where everybody else was at.

Sonic stare at Cream who sat next to Tails at the table. She moved her ears behind her back, and pointed to a napkin on the table. Tails grabbed and gave it immediately;

"WHIPPED!" Sonic coughed, Cream looked at him open mouth again. Knuckles gave a small snicker, Rouge smack him teasingly telling him to stop. Shadow laugh a little, Cindy only smiled humorously. Tails and Cream blushed heavily at this.

As they ate, the clock turned slowly to 7:30 am, when there was a knock on the door.

Sonic stood up and answered it. They was a skunk at the door, very well dress and clean-cut. Like a messenger boy, or a luggage boy type.

"Are you mister Sonic?" He asked, Sonic nodded. "This is for you, please appear on the date specified or call ahead for an appointment." The skunk left him with an envelope, with a disgusted look or disappointed look.

Sonic looked at the envelope curiously. No label, except 'Hand deliver' in the corner of it.

He walked into the room, opening the letter. He read it aloud to himself.

"By order of Knothole village judicial system and by approval and order of King Acorn, you, Sonic the Hedgehog aresummoned by law to the court in Knothole village. The nature of this summon: to settle a legal dispute between you and Sally Acorn over CHILD SUPPORT FOR YOU'RE CHILD? WHAT THE (BLEEP)?" Sonic stared blankly at the paper. He looked up at the table; everyone stared behind him.

Amy stood there motionless…

"Amy…please don't start…you know me Amy! I would never!" Sonic saw tears fill her eyes. It was a court summon, it couldn't be a lie! Her heart was broken now…how could he?"

Well I'm out, till 22 R&R
