I do not own Sonic. Thank you.
Third Person POV
Amy found him at the exact same seat at the casino bar as he always was. This time, she had managed to sneak around to his blind spot so he didn't notice her presance until she was right up next to him. "So, will you accept my offer now?"
Ghost literally jumped off his seat and wheeled around twoards her. After looking her over a few times, he grumbled something incoherently and then, "Are you deaf woman? I'm not worth it?"
"I'm a stubborn girl."
Ghost stopped for a few seconds and he soundlessly mouthed something and began to laugh, a laugh that had him doubled over. Finally he stopped and spoke, but his smile still seemed more of a smirk than anything. "Fine. Saying you're stubborn is an understatement. But dont expect to get much outta me if this is some sort of interrogation."
"Who says this is an interrogation? Maybe I just want to have a friendly meal together."
Ghost harumphed. "Right. And I'm really the mayor of this town." He took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Those are so unhealthy."
Ghost looked up at the massive golden chandilier that hung above them. "Yeah." He took a puff. "I know."
Story Break
Amy kept looking at Ghost, trying to find anything to start up a conversation with him. They were on the way to her house and she had been looking him over. "So um...where'dya get those bracelets from?"
"A friend."
Amy frowned. This would be very awkward if he didn't start awnsering more than one or two word sentences to everything she said. "A girlfriend?"
"No."
Amy inwardly screamed. This was getting nowhere. "Then who g-" Amy was interupted by the musical sound of a cell phone. Ghost literally grabbed and flipped the phone from his pocket and awnsered it.
"Ghost here...Uh huh...And? I see...how much time do you need...me?" Ghost looked down at his bracelet. "I got about an hour. Yeah...I can make it in that much time...Did you forget who you were talking too? Allright. Adios." Ghost hung up the phone and turned to Amy. "Sorry, but I gotta jet. A friend of mine needs some help."
Amy frowned. "Another time then?"
Ghost didn't respond. He looked towards the horizon and smiled. Then he started to run. He. Was. Fast. Amy couldn't believe her eyes, it was like watching her hero run. He just took off so quickly he was literally running on buildings. Amy blinked back some tears and pulled out her own cell phone. "Hey Tails? It's me, Amy...I need your help."
Story Break
Robotnik paced back and forth. A beep and a gust of wind revealed to the doctor that he had arrived. "Took you long enough."
"Hmph." Ghost took a drink of his jug and set it back at his hip. "Be quick about it then."
"It's not that simple. Knuckles is already involved in this."
Ghost spat out his drink in a hiss of alcohol. "WHAT?" he roared. He advanced on Robotnik meanicingly. "You didn't...tell me you didn't..."
"I told him nothing. However, I fear he suspects." Robotnik sighed and settled down in a chair. "And we've got more important things to worry about besides covering up your little defect. My grandfather...he...he's still alive. He's alive and he's currently looking for the Realm of Chaos..."
Ghost staggered back and shook his head. "My god..."
"I need your help again. You're the only one who can pull this off. I've managed to make some modifications to your Dimention Bracers, at the cost of your Dimention Rave. You wont be able to use it as often, but you'll be able to fight like you used to. I mean, it wiped me out didnt it?"
Ghost sighed. "I can't. Get Shadow to do it or something."
"No. It has to be you, dont you understand? Shadow still needs time away from Gerald...and you are too clever and brave to be fooled by him. This is a task only you can take. Convince your friends if you have to, hell, I'll help them as well, but this is your duty."
Ghost looked down at his hands, and for the first time in many years, a single tear rolled down his face...
Alliances are made. The pawns are ready. And the player under the table shall shake the foundations of the game...
