Chapter 4: Recovery
Amy opened her eyes
Everything was white and everything was blurry
She heard voices around her but was not sure who was talking.
The last thing she could remember was seeing a small yellow creature standing over her on the track
'Was that a dream?' she thought
'What was that thing that saved my life?' she asked herself playing the image of the creature over and over again in her head
Her vision finally cleared and she could see she was lying in a hospital bed
She looked around the room and saw it was mostly white with a table by the bed and a few chairs near the door
She looked down and saw Luca lying on her stomach sleeping
Just then Luca looked up at Amy and meowed
'You're awake finally!' said Luca sounding relived
"How long have I been out for?" asked Amy petting Luca
'Two months' said Luca
"WHAT?" said Amy sitting bolt upright
'Actually it's only been a week I just wanted to make sure you stayed awake this time' said Luca looking up happily at Amy
'You have no Idea how hard it's been I've had to stay with Takashi since Liz doesn't like me and the hospital wouldn't let me in at first since they have a no animals policy and I've had no one to talk to for an entire week, trust me it's no fun talking to yourself for a week' said Luca purring as Amy scratched his head
Amy then sat up and felt her head was a little dizzy
"Luca did you see the creature the one that saved me?" asked Amy
'I only saw the one that saved you for a second but it was during a 240 mile an hour uncontrolled fall straight towards the ground so excuse me if I can't be too descriptive but I did see the other two' said Luca as Amy petted him
"Other two? There were two others?" asked Amy surprised
'Yes a red one and a blue one from what I could hear the red one was called Knuckles a fitting name might I add and I didn't hear the blue one's name' said Luca looking up at Amy
"Knuckles" Amy repeated
'Yes and the one that saved you I heard he was called Tails from the red one' said Luca stretching and yawning
"So the one that saved me was Tails, I wish I knew what they where" said Amy sitting back
'You and everyone else that saw the race' said Luca lying next to Amy
"What?" asked Amy confused
Just then Amy heard the door open and saw Jesse come in and looked at Amy
"You're awake!" she said looking surprised
"Everyone she's awake!" Jesse yelled out the door
Everyone on the team came rushing in to see her
"Finally! I was going insane being stuck with Liz here" said Takashi sounding relived
"What? You think you had it bad? You're not exactly fun to be around ether" said Liz glaring at Takashi
"We're glad you're awake Amy" said Mark
"Yeah we where worried we would be stuck with just Takashi and Liz" said Andrei casually
"WHAT?" Takashi and Liz said at the same time
"Are you feeling alright? You nearly died during the race" asked Satomi
"Yeah I'm fine, Oh what about the race, what happened? Did we win?" asked Amy urgently
"The results where thrown out because of "Interference" namely those creatures and Sledge Mamma somehow got off clean" said Mark
"They bribed the league officials everyone knows it" said Liz angrily
"Yeah but it was worth it to see them get beaten by those creatures so easily" said Takashi with a smile on his face thinking about how they had pulled Yamma out of his mech
He had wet his suit and it was all over the news
"The creatures beat Team Sledge Mamma? What happened after I fell?" asked Amy
"Well take a look" said Mark turning on the TV in the room
News Broadcast
"Hello sports fans today in the news the IG-1 officials still haven't commented on the strange series of events that occurred at the race between Team Satomi and Team Sledge Mamma last week but from what eyewitnesses have told us strange extremely fast creatures saved the Team Satomi midfielder Amy Stapleton after she was "accidentally" thrown off the track" said the TV announcer
"That was no accident!" Liz yelled
"The creatures then carried her to the stadium where doctors quickly took her to a nearby hospital where she is currently in a light comma, but not before they completely annihilated Team Sledge Mamma on the way" he continued as the screen turned to footage of Knuckles and Sonic beating Team Sledge Mamma easily
"From what we could gather their where three creatures one carried Amy the other two beat Team Sledge Mamma into next week. Yamma, Timma, and Dimma are currently recovering from their injuries in other hospitals and are expecting to be released soon" he said as the screen showed Yamma being pulled out of his mech and a yellow liquid dripping out of his suit in between his legs
"I agree with you Takashi it was worth it to have that video all over the news for a week" said Liz with a smirk on her face
"The police are currently investigating but have found no clues as to what the creatures were or where they went after the race but some people have claimed they were aliens from the strange light over the city. The official reply to such claims are and I'm quoting "That's crazy talk" but some others think it was just a publicity stunt set up by the Ig-1, others are just hoping that whatever they are they sign up for a team and show up again" said the announcer
"I personally think that that was one of the best races I have ever seen and hope the creatures show up again"
Hospital Room
Mark then turned the TV off
"Wow so that's what happened?" asked Amy
"Yeah people have been asking us questions all week since me and Liz were the only people to see them clearly" said Takashi
"I only saw the red one clearly but Takashi was the other two" said Liz looking at Takashi
"I saw the blue one and the yellow one that was carrying you but not for long, they out ran my mech so easily I only had a second to look at them" said Takashi in a slightly depressed tone
"Did you see anything" asked Jesse
"You where carried by one for a while" said Jesse looking down at Amy
"I only saw a few blurry images" said Amy depressed
"But wait! Luca saw them perfectly" said Amy sitting back up and looking at Luca
"She did?" asked Satomi
"Yeah, she told me that there was a blue and red creature, she said the red one was called Knuckles" said Amy
"Wait how did he find out its name?" asked Liz suspiciously
'It talked' said Luca to Amy
"Luca said the creatures talked" Amy relayed to the team
'Talked? You mean like how Luca can talk to other animals?' asked Mark surprised
'No they talked like humans, why they bother I don't know speaking like this is easier' said Luca in his usual flat tone
"Luca says they could talk like humans!" said Amy surprised and ignoring Luca's last comment
"I heard the blue one call out something when he was above me. I think it was blue tornado" said Takashi who though he was hearing things and seeing things at the time of the race
"Ok so these things can fly, run fast, can beat mechs bare handed, can teleport, and they can talk" said Liz
Liz paused before yelling out "This makes no sense!" she said very confused at what they where saying
Just then a nurse came in and said "Be quiet! Others are trying to sleep" annoyed at Liz's yelling
"Sorry" said Liz embarrassed
The nurse looked at Amy and said "Oh you're awake good I notify your parents"
"My parents are here?" asked Amy amazed
"Yes they're staying in a hotel nearby they've been so worried they kept saying something about how racing is too dangerous and you could have been killed" said the nurse
"Great" said Amy sarcastically in a worried tone
"You had better get going soon, visiting hours will soon be up" the nurse said to the team
"Your parents will probably visit tomorrow" she continued
"Come on lets go" said Liz heading out the door with everyone else
"I think I'll stay a little longer" said Takashi
Everyone looked at him then Liz said "Ok but don't be too long Amy's in enough pain already"
Takashi just looked at the nurse and asked "Is it alright?"
The nurse replied "Ok but not too long"
Then everyone left leaving Takashi, Amy, and Luca alone
Takashi sat down in a chair next to Amy's bed
"Why did you want to stay?" Amy asked
"I just wanted to talk to you a little longer I've only had Liz to talk to all week and trust me she's even worse when you're not there. We nearly killed each other and besides I wanted to talk about what happened" said Takashi
"What did you see? Luca said you got the best look at the one that saved me" asked Amy sitting up and leaning forward
"Well it was only for a second but the creature looked like a dog or something, it had yellow and white fur, it had red shoes with what looked like jets on, it wore gloves, and it had two tails that it was using like a helicopter to fly just off the ground" said Takashi trying to remember everything
"Luca said the yellow one was called Tails!" said Amy
"Well that makes sense, he had two tails and so that must be a nickname or something" said Takashi looking up at the ceiling
"How did I look?" asked Amy
"The creature was holding you under your arms, you looked like you were sleeping, and good thing too going at that speed you would have probably been scared to death outside of a mech. I was really scared it would drop you it didn't look that strong and if you fell at that speed well…." said Takashi scared to say the last part
"Well at least you safe now" said Takashi trying to change the subject
"I'm sorry about what happened, I should have never gone ahead" said Takashi angry at himself for going ahead
"It's alright you did what you had to do" said Amy putting a hand on Takashi's shoulder
"I guess" he said in an exhausted tone
"Don't worry you did it to win the race, if you had did it to show off however you would be in big trouble" said Amy jokingly with a small laugh
Takashi laughed too
"I think Liz would have taken care of that" he said with a smile on his face
They both laughed
"I still can't believe how fast that thing was, it outran the mech, and easily too it was going so fast. I would love to be able to move like that; go that fast and be able to race just by running, it would be awesome" said Takashi thinking about the blue creature over and over again
"Maybe one day you'll meet him again and he'll show you how he did it" said Amy cheerfully
"Maybe, Oh yeah I forgot Luca heard them talk right?" asked Takashi checking his pockets
"Yes, why?" asked Amy confused
"Well did he hear what this was?" asked Takashi pulling out a huge glowing white jewel
"What's that?" asked Amy leaning over to get a closer look
"I found it next to you after the race, I hid it when no one was looking" explained Takashi while holding the jewel up to his face to get a better look at it
'I know what that is' said Luca going over to see the jewel
"What is it?" asked Amy looking at Luca 'The blue one used it to warp to the track I think it's called a Chaos Emerald' said Luca as Takashi lowered it so Luca could see it
"A Chaos Emerald?" Amy repeated
'Yes a weird name since no emerald is white and nothing with the word chaos in its name can be good' said Luca putting her face near the emerald
"What'd he say?" asked Takashi holding the emerald up again
"He said it is called a Chaos Emerald and that the blue one used it to teleport to the track" Amy explained
"A Chaos Emerald? Weird, you hold onto it, maybe the creature will come back for it" said Takashi giving Amy the emerald
"Anyway I'll be back tomorrow" said Takashi as he went for the door
He stopped and the door and said "I'm glad you're alright" he then walked out the door leaving Amy alone with Luca.
"I'm going to have to convince mom and dad to let me keep racing, after this that could be a problem" said Amy to Luca
'Don't worry you still have them forgetting your birthday as a insurance policy' said Luca
'And I noticed something else' Luca said slyly
"What?" asked Amy looking down at Luca not liking his tone
'It looks like Liz and Fantine might not be the only ones after Takashi' said Luca slyly
"What's that that mean?" asked Amy a little nervous as to what Luca could be talking about
'Oh nothing' said Luca coolly as he fell asleep next to Amy
Amy then looked down at the emerald in her hands and hid it in under her sheets and fell asleep
