CHAPTER 16
A WALK IN THE PARK
Later that morning at Rouge's house, Shadow and Rouge came downstairs and saw Spike eating pop tarts at the table. They were both nervous to approach him because they were afraid that he heard their screaming and yelling from their bedroom last night. They both sat at the table with him and was quiet for a couple of seconds, until Shadow spoke up.
"So uh Spike did you sleep well last night?"
Spike shoved a piece of the pop tart in his mouth and shrugged, "I guess", he said in an uncaring voice.
"Did you hear anything unusual last night?" Rouge asked hoping that he didn't hear anything.
He shook his head slowly, "Nope, just the bad ass music I had over my ears."
Rouge sighed in relief. He must have had his CD player on and probably had the sound turned way up just as he liked it.
Shadow got up from the chair, "Well, I guess I should go over to the hospital and see how Espio's doing."
"All right", Rouge said as her lover leaned over to her and kissed her warm lips.
Shadow then walked out the door and headed for the hospital.
Later at the ice base, Deminse was in Dark's old office throwing things around with anger. "Damn it! I hate those damn creatures! How dare they! Fuck them! Fuck them all!" He picked up his desk and threw it towards the wall making the desk smash into pieces. Afterwards he collapsed to a far corner in the room trying to relieve himself from stress.
Then a purple haired demon with a purple jewel in his necklace came into the room. Once he saw Deminse sitting in the corner he shook his head in pity. "Brother, you are pathetic."
Deminse looked over to him with annoyance, "I didn't call you in here, Wilt. Get out! Get the fuck out!"
The purple haired demon walked closer to him, "Now Deminse, just because five of us died and one decided to join forces with the enemy doesn't mean we have to give up. We need to have a little faith sometimes."
"You disgust me Wilt, I hope you know that."
"I'm only saying that we need to work harder at it."
Deminse started to think a bit, "Work...harder? Yeah that's it! We need to work harder! Starting with the rest of you!"
Wilt scratched his head with confusion, "Uh what?"
Deminse stood from the corner, "We need better strategies if we want to beat that hedgehog at his own game."
Wilt was still a little confused. What was his point? "Brother, you are making no fucking sense! Look, I'm going out for a little walk you're plans is making a dent in my head."
"Don't bother, you already have more than one in your head!" Deminse teased.
He clenched his fists wanting to hit him for saying that, "You are so childish!"
Deminse crossed his arms and made a smirk, "Yeah whatever." He pointed at the door, "Go on take your little walk and get some fresh air."
Wilt took out a ball with spikes on it and held it in his hand with anger.
Deminse looked at it nervously. He was wondering if he was going to fight him.
Wilt turned to the door and broke it down with his weapon. He completely shattered the wooden door. He stomped out the door muttering curse words under his breath.
Deminse sighed, "Somebody didn't take their medication this morning."
When Shadow got to the hospital, he saw Ker and Espio standing on the sidewalk with police cars and ambulances all over the place. He ran over to them, "Guys, what the hell happened?"
Ker was still a little upset from killing Terkor, "One of my brothers broke into the hospital last night. He tried to kill Espio."
"You mean the fourteen demons right?" Shadow looked over to Espio, "Well did you kill it, Espio?"
The chameleon shook his head, "Nope, Ker took care of it."
Shadow and Espio both smiled at Ker, "Nice job Ker, I knew you would be better on our side than those fourteen demons."
Ker looked down to the ground, "No matter what I do, I'll always be apart of the fourteen demons. They're my family and without them...I don't know where I would be right now."
Shadow couldn't understand Ker's words, "...Ker?"
"I'm sorry my friends, I just have to be alone for a while." He began to wonder off to a place that he would be less likely to be disturbed.
Shadow and Espio looked at each other and they were evenly confused.
Later at the park, Vector and Charmy were walking around talking to each other.
"Charmy, when are you going to get a job and get out of my house?" Vector asked with irritation.
The bee shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe never."
"Never!" He shouted.
"I like your house besides Chloe and I can't really do much right now. You're the only close friend we got."
Vector now felt sorry for Charmy. He was really a nice guy and didn't want to kick Charmy out of his house. He was always a great friend towards him. He looked over to the bee with sadness, "I'm sorry, Charmy."
"What are you sorry for? You always get cranky like this."
The crocodile clenched his fists and started to wave them in the air throwing a tantrum, "Why you little-"
"Vector!" He shouted. "Look."
Vector looked ahead and saw a man with purple hair, wearing a black cloak, and wearing a necklace with a purple jewel in it. "It's one of them!"
Charmy took out two daggers from his pants pocket, "Wilt!"
The demon smiled evilly, "You bastards again? This time I'll dispose of you for good." He took out a ball with spikes and swung the weapon at them, but fortunate for them they moved just in time.
Charmy and Vector both landed on their butts.
Charmy stood up quickly and threw his daggers at him. The daggers were stabbed into the demon's right arm.
Wilt laughed as he took out the two bloody daggers from his arm and threw them on the ground, "You are so pathetic with your useless weapons."
"Then how about a fist!" Vector ran over to him and punched him in his stomach.
Wilt kneeled to the ground while holding his stomach, 'Damn, this croc means business. His punches are powerful. I guess I just have to be better.' He stood from the ground and took out his weapon. He swung his weapon at him and Vector just couldn't move in time. The sharp pointed spikes from his weapon stabbed him in his arm.
Vector yelled and held his bleeding arm as he fell to the ground.
"Vector!" Charmy yelled with sadness. He used his wings and flew towards him and examined his wound. It looked pretty bad, but it looked like he was going to make it. "Are you okay?"
He made a slight nod, "I think so. Just take care of him, Charms. I know you can do it."
Charmy nodded, "You got it." He flew over to him and picked up both of his bloody daggers. He held them in a tight grip. "You're gonna pay for that!" He flew up to him and started to stab him with the sharp daggers all in his face.
Wilt yelled in pain as the daggers stabbed him in his eye sockets. He fell to the ground dead with Charmy still stabbing him all over his face.
Wilt's blood was scattered all over Charmy's face and Charmy didn't seem to care if Wilt was dead or not he just wanted him to suffer.
Vector walked up to him, "Charmy, stop that! He's dead!"
Still the bee didn't listen, he kept stabbing him with all the anger he had.
Vector pulled him away from the demon's dead body and shook him, "Quit it, Charms! Can't you see? He's dead, you killed him!"
Charmy realized what he did and felt extremely bad for it. He hugged Vector, "I'm sorry, Vector. I-I must have lost control."
Vector rubbed his bloody back, "It's okay. You were just upset that's all."
