Our Pasts entwine,and is different from out future13
Sonya extended a pale hand out towards her brother.
"Sonic...help...me"she repeated.Rouge and Shadow took a step back and dragged Sonic back with them,since he could not move his feet himself.Rouge magically slammed the door and bolted the locks.
"What are you doing!"Sonic screamed at her,trying to undo them.Shadow stopped him by picking him up.
"Who is this girl?"he asked,Sonic struggled within his grasp.
"I think...Sonic...this is your sister is it not?"Rouge looked up at him,pain clearly written all over his face.
"Then do NOT open this door again.Dealing with the dead is dangerous.When you bring someone back you must give someone's soul with the same purity and...oh no..."Rouge went running up the stairs and disappeared within the darkness of the halls.Exploding through doorways,she began to shout.
"Amy!...AMY!Where are you!AMELIA!" Amy's soul was like Sonya's,the vibes were the same.And they were both close to Sonic but in different relationships,but Sonic did indeed love them both.Finally she found who she was looking for,Amy seemed to be sitting slightly askew,her entire front side looking out into the the horizon.
"A...Amy?"
Sonic struggled frantically against Shadow.
"LET ME GO SHADOW!"his claws digging into Shadow's arm.Shadow held tight.
"What for Sonic?Why should I let you go!Thats not your sister anymore!"
"YOU WOULD DO THE SAME THING IF IT WERE MARIA!"air choked in Shadow's lungs and Sonic was able to pull himself free.Sonic bolted for the door,ready to unlock it and embrace his little sister.But as soon as he lifted his hand to the lock,a sharp sinister daggar whizzed out and struck him so that the blade went through his palm.Sonic withdrew with a hiss of pain as he looked at Shadow who had another one ready.Shadow growled deeply.
"You want to start a real fight little boy?" Shadow asked,his voice deep with hatred.Sonic's eyes narrowed.
"Sonic,trust me,you do not want to deal with the dead".
"Oh and you know from experience because your in love with one of the dead...some advice coming from you,General.I order you to stand down as your lord"Sonic snapped.
"Look,I don't take orders...especially from you...but I don't want to fight you either,so just back away from the door".Sonic edged closer to the door,his challenging eyes never leaving Shadow's.
"Weird...for a few days...I was worried for your life Shadow...I thought I would lose a brother or a best friend...but now I can't wait to be rid of you.I hope Eggman comes and tears you apart limb from limb and that your immortality keeps you alive to suffer through the pain.Perhaps with the correct piercing,I can show you what its like to be blind for a bit...stand down or I will kill you".
"I swear you just called me immortal ...and now your threatening to kill me.Tell me Sonic,how exactly do you plan to kill me?"
"Same way that made me what I am...I'm going to crush your heart into thousands of pieces,then hand you over to Eggman.Now stand down!"
"You know what?...fine,go right ahead,open that door.And look upon the pained face of your sister's body,but know that she's never coming back,no matter how much you kill,nor how much tears you shed.Open that door,and let her take your soul with her to the burning flames of hell,where not even then you can be comforted by her hugs.Because,the way you speka now and all that you've done,your a monster,a demon.You CAN'T HELP HER!"Shadow folded his arms,his fangs out in fighting manor.
"I swear by all that is good and evil,if you open that door I will set you aflmae and then drown you within your own blood"Rouge said from atop the stairs.Another figure following behind her,standing there now.
"You need to make a choice Sonic...either your past and letting your sister live in pain because she's been ripped from the clouds of heaven.OR your life now and with us within this war.Do so,and perhaps Amy will regain her soul back"Rouge reached around her to the standing figure and made Amy come forth.She looked alot like Sonya,blood soaked her armor,and her eyes seemed dead and full of pain.It was as though her mind had been cascaded into darkness.
The door echoed the knock again,with inhuman strength.Rouge was staring down at Sonic,who was staring back at her,then to Amy,but didn't dare glance at Shadow.The knock sounded again.
"But...I don't want to lose my sister...not again"his voice wavered.
"So you would rather give up Amy,to save your sister who is liable to be killed alot easier than Amy?Well aren't you full of tough choices?Look,I understand what its like to lose a sibling,I've lost both of them.But raising the dead is a serious threat to those still alive.They steal people's souls,and many other gorrible things can happen as well".Sonic closed his eyes and sighed,and then went to open the door.He unsheathed his sword and then completely unbolted the door.Sonya was still there,her eyes pleading for him to help her.
"Sorry Sonya...you had your time,I'm sorry it was cut short"he raised the blade and prepared to end her reborn life.But her voice stopped him.
"May I at least...have a hug from my older brother...before I go?"she gave a light smile,one she had done in her living times.Sonic shrugged and was going to embrace her,had Shadow not walked up behind him and spoke.
"No".He began to close the door,but her hand stopped it.
"But...I want to hug my brother...I love him"her voice hadn't changed tones at all,but her eyes became darker.
"And I said,no.You'll have to try harder to fool me into letting you bring him to hell"Shadow used more force to close the door,but she matched it,and it looked as though they were merely holding the door.
"And I did not ask you,Shadow Hedgehog,for permission.Move out of my way"she applied more force and began moving the giant door.Shadow pushed Sonic away from the door.Sonya's fangs grew to a long size and she lashed out with her claws,attacking the already bleeding wound on Shadow's arm.Shadow growled and applied more force on the door,pushing her back slightly.Rouge threw Amy at Sonic,who caught her easily.She then helped Shadow with the door.With both using inhuman strength,it was only likely that they would be able to close the door.But they couldn't,there was no way for closing the door.It was like this new born creature had the strength...of the ultimate lifeform mixed with the undead.Both their feet began slipping across the stone tile,sliding back inch by terrible inch.Till eventually Sonya slammed the door,knocking them both against the wall.Rouge hit her head hard,making blood splatter against the wall.
Sonya looked at Shadow and Rouge's unconsious forms with distaste.She extended her hand out towards Sonic.
"Please...Sonic...Help...me"she looked up at him,her eyes large and blank.She didn't climb the stairs,instead she jumped to the top to head him off.Sonic stopped within the center,before putting Amy down gently.He began to climb the rest of the stairs to meet her.
"Please...Sonic..."she began again,but he covered her mouth with his hand.And instead,he hugged her.She stopped speaking and embraced him back,her eyes closing.Sonic put his head,upon his sister's shoulder,and opened his eyes,taking a small daggar from her hip.
"I'm sorry Sonya"he whispered and drove the daggar straight where her heart would be.Her eyes widend and then closed,before smiling,showing her fangs.Her nails dug hard past Sonic's devensive quills,and her smile disappeared.
"As am I Sonic...but...thank you"blood erupted from Sonic's back and he jumped away,as Sonya disappeared,into nothing but air.Sonic gritted his teeth in pain,but none the less he fled downstairs.
"Rouge?Shadow?Wake up!"he shook them both,but their eyes didn't open.He shook them harder,very careful not to hit their heads again.
"Come on!WAKE UP!"Sonic yelled in their ears.Rouge's eyes burst open,nearly white,and she leaped at him,her fangs exposed and digging into the soft flesh on his neck.Sonic tried to pull her off,apparently he had switched her instincts on.He felt his arm strength disappear by the seconds.Then she was suddenly pulled off and thrown against the wall.Cryptic was holding Rouge by the throat,against the wall as she snapped her fangs at him.Sonic clutched his neck,the wounds on his back burned deeply.
'Traitor'he thought looking at Rouge.He turned back to Shadow,who still had not awoken yet.And Sonic had the sudden impulse just to end his life right there,helpless to everything.Sonic looked up as he heard a sudden snap,and Rouge hung limp.The crack had sounded from her neck.Cryptic let her fall to the ground and wipped the blood off his fingers.
"Did you just...?"Sonic stared at him in disbelief.Cryptic,looked at Sonic and smiled evilly.He walked up to Shadow's limp form,and picked him up easily.
"Hope you had a nice visit with your sister,my lord"Cryptic was then gone,with Shadow.All the remained was the echoeing laugh of Cryptic and Shadow's blood upon the floor.
Light shinned in Shadow's closed eyelids.Well they were close,till someone's annoying fingers opened them unwillingly.
"Excellent,though this head wound will probably make him a little grouchy.Depending if he doesn't lose his memory first"Eggman chuckled.
"I doubt it my Lord"Cryptic answered,Shadow could see him in the corner,with his arms folded,until Eggman released his eyelid,which closed instantly.He groaned and shifted his limbs,but found he couldn't.
"Shadow...open your eyes,its ok.We're not going to hurt you...unless you don't cooperate".
"Get...away...from me.I'll...kill ...you"Shadow growled,and with effort he opened his eyes.His wrists and ankles were bound by chains to a stone wall.Eggman laughed and left him,Cryptic just stayed there.Shadow growled at him,his eyes deep with hatred.
"Don't hate me"Cryptic shrugged.
"You think I don't know who your are,do you Blade?"
A/N:I know,you guys said you hate cliff hangars,but when I do them,I have an idea of what to write about,and yes if your reading my other Shadouge fanfic 'The Bet',you'll know that,THAT name is Cryptic's real one.I'll explain why he changed his name in my next chapter.I expect 3 reviews,and I expect them from different people this time,I don't see why my only now faithful reviewers Xenoxanga and Entoxica should have to make it so I update again.Please review!
