Author's Note: Apologies all around, but for those of you who liked my other fic, All Warped Up, it shall be discontinued. I just grew tired of the storyline and my creative talents are being used on othe projects. This story will be updated whenever I feel like but please review anyways. Thank you, and sorry yet again.
I do not own Sonic.
Tails POV
Sonic's dead. Shadow saw him fall to earth, a strangely peaceful smile on his face as he became a large fireball above Earth's atmosphere. After his expliation, everything and everyone changed. Amy most of all. For days she wouldn't smile, talk or even eat. I took care of her, my heart just as heavy. Sonic as like a brother to me and now he's gone. The Invincible Sonic. Gone. Just like that. After a while, Amy recovered from her gripping depression, but it's still there, in the corners of her smile and the heavyness in her steps.
Shadow says we're all idiots. Sonic wouldn't've gone down so easily. He says that as long as he still had at least a tiny bit of Super power left that he could have made it. Two days after Robotnik landed back on earth, both he and Shadow dissapered. I haven't heard anything more from Robotnik. Shadow reports back to us every now and then, but his news is always grim: Nothing. No trace. Not even the faintest crater. I know he burned up in the atmosphere.
The city has grown worse. Without Sonic's aura of justice (Yeah, I know it sounds cheesy) around, criminals have run rampart and I have my hands full just trying to stay in my predicessors shoes. Talk of an albino hedgehog have also surfaced. He had aparently strayed into the city two months ago. It's thanks to him Amy is still alive today. Amy speaks of him as if he is Sonic incarnate, but I fear him. He has strange abilities and an even stranger attitude. His crimson eyes switch back and forth between tear jerking sadness and furious rage, like two sides to a coin. He spends his time in Casinopolis, drinking. He says it dulls the pain of the hidden truth. You're probably wondering however, how he saved Amy.
Amy was wandering back home in the dark. I had offered to walk her back, but she declined. She said she needed to become stronger. After all, if she were stronger, Sonic might have lived. Before I could argue that, she had left. From what I gathered, Amy was assulted and nearly raped. Before the thugs could do anything drastic however, this albino hedgehog just appears. Doesn't run, doesn't walk, doesn't even jump in from the rooftops. For all intents and purposes, he just appears. He beats the thugs up so badly, that when police came to investigate, they had a very difficult time identifying the crimnals. Amy tried to thank her savior, but he just vanished. Again, no running, no walking, no jumping. Just vanishing.
I've named him Ghost, and strangely enough, its the only name he'll awnser to. He says it suits him, a mere shadow of his past. The most terrifying part about him however is when you see him in the twilight. When the crimson sunlight hits him just right, Sonic looks back at you and smiles.
And Shadow grins because he's found something. Hope and Hopelessness. Fear and Courage. Light and Darkness. What could this all mean?
