Sonic and The Harmony of Chaos
Ch. 4
By: Cutegirlmayra (Hey, hey, hey! I'm doing a Instagram Livestream and Discord Event after I finish some of these updates. For more information, PM me or message me on Tumblr! I'm excited for it and I'm excited for these new updates! As always, stay tuned~3)
Tails groaned as he put down his toolbox, locking it up while Sonic leaned against his bedroom door. "Amy…" Exasperated, he seemed at his wit's end.
Emotionally drained, he leaned his whole face into the door, "Please, just come out?"
"Sonic, why are you two even here?" Tails walked down the small hall and gestured his arms out for an explanation. "Amy just came barging in here, screaming her head off with tears about something, and then you followed after."
Sonic just rolled his eyes to him, a sad frown upon his face before he leaned away when hearing some movement in the room.
His ears perked and he slid his head to the side to let his ear lean against the door. "I'm sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't cut it, Sonic! I looked like a… a… a pitiful sack of unwanted… I don't know! That's how bad I looked like!" a muffled reply of heartache sounded from the other side, and once again, Sonic's face drooped with a sweatdropped.
Tails stood annoyed, still staring Sonic down for an explanation.
"Well?"
Sonic leaned away at last, keeping a hand on the door and rubbed his face. "I apparently missed a date I wasn't informed of."
"I told you where to meet me!"
"You didn't say it was a date."
"You slept through it!"
"I was tried! A man can't sleep?" Sonic wasn't raising his voice, even to be heard through the door. He knew Amy was attentively honing on his replies anyway, so he didn't feel the need too.
He looked tried, seeming to just try and resolve this matter or mess he had unknowingly walked into and created for himself.
"Please, just open the door…" He slumped forward, "Tails doesn't deserve this…"
"No… I really don't." Tails, in a moment of pity for his best friend, rubbed the bridge of his brows and walked away, deciding to let whatever drama Amy wanted to play out… well… play out.
"I'm going back to work on the X-Tornado."
"Tails…" Sonic looked back to him, a hopeless man stuck in the middle of a woman's sorrowful and idealistic complex.
Tails just waved, already walking off and having Sonic behind him.
It was as if he was saying, 'this is your mess, I'm out of here.'
Sonic crashed his shoulder against the door again, folding his hands but still rubbing his face. He found some sleep at the corner of his eye and flicked it off and away from his finger.
"Just let me in, Amy."
"I waited… I waited so long that someone tried to hand me money. Money! They thought I was… was homeless or something! Ohhh-ho-hooo…" she whined out her sorrows again, crying with her signature whines, but even then it granted some sympathy to anyone who heard it.
"Oh, don't cry…" Sonic finally let the drama get to him, whining right back as he flopped the upper-half of his body down and let his arms slouch down and dangle a moment.
Finally, he brought himself back to an upright position and stuck out his chest, not letting this get him down any longer. "I'm gonna bust down the door, Amy."
"No he's not!" Tails's voice shouted from the garage.
Sonic made a face, comical to say the least, before sighing and spreading his arms out again. "Come on, Amy… I didn't know!"
"How could you not know!?"
"Ugh…" he walked away from the door, unable to handle the sad fact that he was the reason she was crying.
He made his way to the garage, leaning against the door frame, still looking weary from trying to make amends with Amy.
"…They gave her money, huh?" Tails joked, trying to lighten the mood as he looked up to Sonic, raising an eyebrow.
"…Yeah… must have been a while." Sonic kept flicking the sleep out of his eyes.
"You know,… if you really did fall asleep and forget about it, then it is your fault." Tails jumbled his head around as though making a slight point that rang true, but Sonic just looked away and out at the opened garage door… gazing at the freedom of a nice, sunny day and a rolling wind that tumbled over green, grassy fields… just waiting for him to tread along.
He seemed highly distracted, his mind somewhere else as Tails sighed again, getting back to his work as he sat on his spinning stool.
"Sometimes… I wonder if you hear anyone at all."
"I hear ya, Tails… But that's the problem." Sonic scratched the top of his head, bringing it down so he could do so.
He wandered on over to where Tails was working, his hands on his hips and feeling the faint breeze that passed along and into the hot workplace.
"Sometimes… Amy just…" Sonic tilted his head, perhaps restraining from saying something to harsh.
Tails turned to look over his shoulder behind himself, wondering if he'd continue. "What?"
Sonic motioned with his hand a constant chatter of talking, and Tails rolled his eyes, but continued to watch the pantomiming.
"And sometimes I just…" Sonic looked off, back towards the mystic ruins in the distance and the train station. "Yeah… uh-huh… okay." He even put in the shrug, but then tapped his head and looked to Tails.
"You're emotionally not present." Tails smiled.
"I guess you could call it whatever you want, Tails. But… I just don't always pay attention. I get distracted. I like to just… stare at the beautiful world around me. Amy has to … to… talk about everything and anything!" Sonic took a few steps, talking with his hands as in motioning them about as he spoke. Then, he seemed to vent a little with his actions and show the chaos of her rambling as he threw his arms in loops all around him.
He shook his head, "Sometimes… I wonder if I can just have a peaceful moment with Amy… Just once, I'd like to hear nothing from her. Or if she does talk, it's nice and not about something to do, something she wants me to do, or something about us all together!" he threw his arms around him again, moving quickly with his gestures before pacing back to Tails. "I don't know, Tails… It's hard. I can't tell her it's hard cause it'll only hurt her feelings…"
He rubbed the back of his head, looking away as though ashamed but in a predicament.
"You have… a certain way of life, Sonic." Tails bobbed his head again, keeping his eyes down and exhaling a moment, just slightly louder than normal. It could have been seen as a sigh, but it was more a reflex to stopping himself, really thinking out his words as he spun in stool back to his inventions he was tinkering with.
As he got back to work, he continued to speak, knowing Sonic was at least listening to this much. "No worries can sometimes translate to not caring. I know that's not true, and so does Amy, but… it's hard to just 'talk' to you sometimes. You don't go deep. And Amy wants deep." He nodded back to Sonic, as Sonic stood behind him once again, looking torn at his words and then away back to the open fields again.
"Amy wants something called 'meaning'. We just talk and don't really have much to say. We hang out, sure… but Amy's 'hanging out' is a little more… invested… then we're used too."
"Heh. You got that right." Sonic kept his arms folded, but finally looked away from both scenes around him and just stared at the plane, looking up at the corners of its design.
He then shook his head and turned back to Tails, looking more sympathetic. "How do I keep her happy without losing my own?"
That question seemed to cause Tails to look straight ahead, up and away from his work.
He slowly turned back to Sonic with an open mouth, as though ready to say something, but decided against it.
He looked down, "I… can't solve your problems for you every time… Sonic."
"…I know." Sonic turned away again, "I don't mean you to, Tails."
"Yeah… I know." Tails rubbed the back of his neck for a minute… before an idea popped into his head.
"Hey! I bet you could start by doing something that both you and Amy like to do!"
"Oh..!" Sonic looked mildly intrigued, turning back to Tails. "Like what?" he gestured out.
Tails's excited face suddenly froze and disappeared, "…I don't know. Don't you two have anything in common?" he turned his hands as if asking for some help on the subject.
Sonic looked at the ground, energy built up from standing around and his feet started 'pitter-pattering' on the floor as he tapped on the arches of his feet. They never rose from the ground too much, it wasn't like he was lifting his foot. But as he quickly tapped them at different intervals, he leaned his body down, bending as he closed his eyes and thought.
Tails watched the strange 'thinking' pattern that Sonic did and chuckled slightly, realizing his friend was extremely expressive, and less so with words.
"Ugh, I can't think of anything but cloud watching…" Sonic leaned up with a disappointed groan as he arched himself back to stare at the ceiling. "Does this mean I'm doomed?" he comedically spread his arms out and flopped them down limp by his sides, smacking them against himself. He certainly looked out of ideas and compromises weren't his forte.
"Haha..! You're on your own there, buddy." Tails patted his back and turned back to his work.
Sonic slouched down, sighing, and kicked his feet out as he walked back inside.
He went back to the bedroom door, "Amy… Can we just … talk about this?" He decided to just get it over with. Suck up, if he had too.
But when he didn't hear anything, his sad little frown suddenly rose into a curious, neutral expression. "Amy?"
He leaned slightly forward to listen through the door.
Nothing…
His eyes blinked and his face scrunched slightly, wondering she was even there.
He moved quietly, reaching for the knob.
He wiggled it, and it wasn't locked.
His eyes shot wide for a split second before back to wondering what was going on.
Did she unlock the door?
He slowly opened the creaking door, peering in before swinging it wide, "Huh!?" she was gone!
He walked around the room, checking under the bed, seeing that there wasn't the slightest indication that she was there.
"Hmm…" Curious about where she ran off too, he placed his hands on his hips and stopped his investigation. "Hey, Tails!" he cried out, still looking around the room while not moving much. He just leaned to try and glance into the open closet and then the window, seeing it was closed and bolted, so that wasn't an option.
"Yeah?"
"Did you see Amy walk out just now?"
"No… Is she gone?"
"Yeah… must of booked it." Sonic smiled, "She must have. Considering the door was open to the garage…" he walked around some more, looking for some clues but finding none.
He got distracted by Tails's collection of planes and old-time pictures of themselves… before seeing one that had been taken down and placed on the desk.
Taking a closer look, he picked it up and noticed it was one with everyone in it, Knuckles, Tails, himself, and…
"Oh, Amy…"
With a lovable tone, he shook his head and looked fondly to the tear marks on the photo…
His smile softened while he ignored Tails for a moment, pining the photo back in its place on the wall.
"There aren't any tears or snot on my pillow, is there? Sonic?"
Sonic had a new resolve in his eyes, speeding out the door, "See ya around, Tails!"
"H-hey! What about the mess you two made!" Tails spun his twin tails as he raced out the garage's open door and saw Sonic bolt out the front, speeding off in search of Amy.
"Hmph." He let the tension in his shoulders drop and then shook his own head. "Amy… why do you have to make him think so much…" Tails turned back to his work, rolling his eyes. "You want him to be romantic and civilized, but that's not really who he is. He's more like… Tarzan." He laughed at his joke, moving back over to his creation. "And you're like the Little Mermaid."
Amy raced into the jungle, wiping her tears as she moved loose and hanging branches out of her way.
"He's like the earth, and you're like water."
She found herself by a huge lake and stared out over her. Birds took off from before her and she stared at the marvelous sight, admiring a moment the world around her.
"You both coexist. But it's hard for you to understand each other. But you do find some joy in it all."
She heard a twig snapped and quickly looked behind her, seeming a bit frightened and took off running again, panting as she went.
"You both can share the same sky… the same horizon and sunset… If you stopped pushing and colliding against each other then…"
She heard some form of engines and feared Eggman, ducking down and dropping to her stomach, covering her head while Extreme Gears flew by her. She was covered by the large, green foliage and was completely out of sight. When her head popped up, gasping at seeing the Babylon Rogues taking interest in the ruins, she narrowed her sights and wondered what they were up too.
She was led by a feeling of adventure, and getting up to look behind her, she slowly creeped after them. She stayed low and hunched mostly but began to make her way after them. Spying… it wasn't something she liked, but she knew how to not be seen…
"We wouldn't have the world we now live in."
-Eggman's Secret Lair-
Finally showing some signs of rebellion and anger, Harmony reached her one, claw like arm up and pulled herself against the Chaos energy that tried to suck her form into themselves.
Literally being pulled apart, she willed herself up, hoisting herself off her one arm to lean up as her head reared and a metallic, piercing shriek filled the room.
Cubot and Orbot stood back. Fear replacing pity as they looked to Eggman's smirking grin.
"There… now we see you finally making a comeback." He clicked a button and a few more lasers came down, threatening to harm her as well.
"What do you think he's trying to accomplish by splitting her up?" Orbot looked to Cubot. "Do you think he's trying to steal her in the Chaos Emeralds? Much like with Chaos?"
"No, you fools." Eggman grumbled, causing them to shake back and flinch in fright.
"He can hear with all that shrieking?" Cubot commented as Eggman let out another signature laugh.
"Chaos and Harmony can't exist in the Chaos Emeralds together. One is of another substance, and just like oil to water, they can't merge in this form…"
"This… form?" Orbot seemed confused.
"Whohoho… just like man and woman… they cannot co-exist, due to the flesh. But by forsaking and mixing their two potential energies…" he watched as Harmony struggled, growing more enraged as her eyes blared the red coloring of her eyes and her body began to shone in light.
"Yyyeeess… Release all that energy you've collected over the years… through the emeralds, the lives of this world, and the power that is so wrongfully being forced within you…" His grin only lengthened as he moved closer to the protective, sheer window… He put an oxygen mask on, a safety procession from last time, and placed shaded googles that were broad and had no bridge, but the entire shades were one, rectangular screen.
Finally succumbing to his torture, Harmony rises up and bends her back, crying out a painful sound as power is suddenly shone out from her being.
For a split second, everywhere… a booming pulse drops all women to the ground. A light rises from them, drifts into the sky, and is blasted all towards one particular area…
"Wave!"
Jet and Storm turn their Extreme Gears, stopping their rides towards the Mystic Ruins as Wave crashes and falls to the ground.
Unknowingly, Amy also fell to the ground, some of her essence rises up and blasts like aurora lights, each translucent but having a shade of iridescent… a prominent color shining through, however.
For Amy it was a pink, for Wave it was a purple…
The lights shift and change as they move through the air, collecting and spiraling down as they move through Eggman's hidden headquarters and are harnessed by an enraged Harmony.
"What a wipeout!" Storm laughs, coming back and checking on her.
She struggles on the ground, feeling exceptionally weak all the sudden and clawing the ground to try and move again.
"Gnarly crash there, Wave… unlike you though, being so precise and all…" Jet rides around her, before looking down to see something's wrong with her.
"Wave?" He stopped his circling fully, tilting the tip of his Extreme Gear up before jumping off. "Wave!"
Storm's laugh suddenly falters into worry, "Ha..ha…ho, ho!" he stumbles down to the moist, ancient jungle ground and helps turn her to her back.
"Wave! Say something!" Jet calls out to her, seeing her breathing heavily and hot to the touch.
"Is it a concussion?" Storm nervously lifts a hand up to his mouth, attempting to bite his nails in stress and panic but Jet just glares at him and whacks his trembling hand away.
"You idiot! This isn't normal! Go make yourself useful and find something to rest her head on!"
"R-right, boss!" Storm stumbled up, bouncing on one foot for a moment before regaining balance and charging off before Wave finally came too.
"No… No, don't… I'm… I'm fine." She tried to lean up, but her head got dizzy and her hand moved to it. "What on… earth..?" she fell back and Jet caught her, seeing Storm look behind him and start racing back.
"She's okay!?"
"No! She's… she's… Well, I don't know what's going on! Wave?! Explain yourself!" he shook her to try and keep her eyes open, but her expression turned from weakening pain to suddenly growing agitation.
"Quick squawking right in my face. I told you I was fine, didn't I?!" she was right back to her old self, but needed help as she tried to get on her feet.
"Ugh…uhh…" she looked around her, growing embarrassed as the her two friends had their arms outstretched, ready to catch her and also helping her up.
"Wave…" Jet bit down on his beak, but it was clear he was calling her bluff.
She breathed heavily a moment, definite fear in her eyes as she felt her body… knowing something wasn't quite right… but didn't dare speak about it.
As her eyes flickered a moment of pride, she gritted through the pain and shoved them off of her.
"Don't you dare look at me like some sorry case! What? A girl takes a tumble and suddenly I'm in need of a male nurses!?" she ruffled her feathers off, clear body language not to touch her again.
The two men looked to one another, and turned to get their boards.
"Well, then… Pick up your board. We'll meet walk to the ruins from here." Jet sharply countered back with a spitfire challenge.
"Walking..?" she breathed out, a moment of tenderness in her eyes before shaking it away from her. "What do you mean, walking!? We're riding! We're riders!" she clenched her fist and stomped her foot down, growing more upset as Jet turned back to her, kicking her board to let her know where it was…
It was a while to walk… and she realized this was a test…
Her eyes loosened only slightly in their glare… realizing she had to prove she was alright to them…
"…We'll move on ahead. Just don't hold us up too long." Jet's smirk was faked, and as soon as he passed her, it turned to a leader's worry.
Storm already looked like this was being cruel. He could visibly tell Wave was off her game, and looked between her and Jet, before stepping lively when Jet called for him to hurry up.
With them far enough away, she understood the small mercy…
"Heh…" she tried to grin…
He realized her pride wouldn't allow her to ask for help, so he walked away, giving her space to hurt and feel without them seeing it.
But he also was punishing the behavior in a sense… or at least… daring her to prove she could talk that way and get away with it.
"That… was like a million cramps." She muttered, seeing them were far enough away and finally showed some of the pain she had felt. She gripped her lower abdomen, unsure what was that, but knowing it was pain she had never experienced before.
"All at once… I felt years of my life fade away from me… and a strange light… what was glowing all around me?" she placed a hand out in front of her, looking at it.
"Did… Did I get a shade lighter?" she studied the purple on her arms, and then shook her head. "Ugh,… but have been all this humidity."
She went to reach for the board, stumbling and feeling her feet not want to lift off the ground… the heaviness caused her to have to go to her knees, feeling for the board.
"Tsk… Come on. Where did he kick it..?"
She felt something soft and freaked out silently, spreading her beak back and revealing her frightened expression.
She moved some of the long, broad leaves away to see Amy's face, her softly breathing, and looking up to Wave.
"Help…" she then fainted.
The light sparked the interest of Chaos, turning on the boat as Knuckles stirred the drifting of it, rowing occasionally. "You know," He began, "This would be a lot easier if you could help!"
Chaos's head frantically searched the skies, seeing the lights and knowing exactly what that could mean.
He seemed to roar in defiance at whatever this could mean and slashed the air to let out his own signal beam of lights.
The lights, similar to the last rainbowic sonic boom that desperately phoned out to Harmony now trailed off to follow the lights.
As Knuckles continued to try and get the drifting piece of shoddily constructed driftwood to move them closer to land, Chaos lowered himself and dipped a hand into the water.
"W-woah!" Knuckles was pushed back as a wave pushed up against the back of the wood and hurriedly accelerated them towards the shore.
"Well… haha! That's more like it!" Knuckles looked up and saw how fast they were traveling now, before turning back to Chaos with a grin.
His grin faded when he saw the sheer stillness and determination that held Chaos's eyes towards the shore.
He had purpose… but Knuckles finally knew the urgency.
"Your friend's not getting any better, huh?" Knuckles's eyes bent back, trying to share empathy for the God, but failing the mark somewhat. "I can't say I don't blame ya. If I had a Miss… I certainly wouldn't want her being forced to destroy the world." Knuckles sat back up, placing a hand to the top of his head as she let out an exasperated sigh. "Let's just get this over with… save the Goddess Harmony, and restore Order to the planet." He looked a little lazily towards Tails's house. "…Hmm… Wonder if he's even home?"
Harmony compiled the stolen power, though it was originally hers anyway, as her core began to light up into a iridescent ball of energy and lights.
Just like her crystal, it moved and bended like a beautiful light show, but clearly seeing Harmony's stance and her two long appendages behind her head shoot straight up with the amount of power she was absorbing… it was clear this wasn't a beautiful sight at all.
"Harmony!"
Eggman directed her attention back to him as she strained her entire body into a heavy turn to stare at him.
"Create for me..! An Eternal, Robotic Army!" he rotated his hands and then outstretched them skyward, his mad expression in the multicolored lights truly made this more of a dark moment then a bright one.
Harmony's expression turned to one of sorrow… but she outstretched her hand…
A powerful energy rippled the earth…
Jet and Storm stopped as they saw plants around them dying randomly, only a pocket full of them, creating dead spots along the jungle terrain.
"What the-!?"
"Ehh.. B-b-bah-boss..?!"
"Grr!"
Jet pivoted with a stomp towards where Wave was, glaring with a clear concern on his face as he saw her using her floating Extreme Gear as support while she moved, carrying Amy along it's surface…
His eyes opened wider and he lost his glare, wondering what on earth was going on…
-Within the Mineral Cave-
The crystals and materials that once formed the Chaos Emeralds suddenly shone and protruded from the ground, crashing and shaking the cave around them…
The robots that were still around were shaking in fear, having been abandoned from mining the cave after Eggman felt their purpose was served… standing around, they tried to scurry out of the cave, but were being merged with the crystals.
Harmony shook herself up, reaching towards the Crystal that was her imprisonment…
The Crystal shone and the power shot into it…
As it was being restored, Harmony quivered and shook… before blasting her power out as the Robots at the cave were mutated and glowed the same energy force.
Transformed, their rocky and metallic bodies, merged unnaturally, were now pumping oil and molten rock through their wires and the caverns carved from half their rocky bodies. No two creatures looked the same now… one could have a robotic arm mixed with some rocky surfaces, while another could have retained its robotic eye but have a glowing green rocky socket as the other eye.
They breathed, for the first time, dust out their stony and metallic prisons before marching or emerging from their fallen states towards Eggman's lair.
"Emerald Giants…" Orbot's entire frame watched in awe and horror as the monitors revealed the massive amounts of Rock and Steel marching their bulky ways in Eggman's direction.
"The boss didn't want to split her up then?"
"Stick with the program, Cubot." Orbot patted his head and rushed to see Harmony again.
Eggman let out a low, signature chuckle… seeing the monitors also revealing something else lowering…
"Look at that…" he billowed as he slumped in his seat.
"The world is already starting to go infertile… unable to sustain the life upon it… unable to give anymore life to it… The planet is dying… Its egg is being sucked, little by little by her power…" he took a drink and slurped the straw, a jarring image to his two Robotic henchmen who cowered at every evil slurp of his metaphor.
"You're misusing the powers of nature, Doctor…" Orbot dared to look up at Eggman.
"Hmm..?" Eggman rose a tyrannical eyebrow, swiftly leaning down and looking Orbot dead in the face, "What do you care? You're not made of life. You're electricity. Man-made. You don't have a smidgeon of reason to be loyal to her!"
"I may not be flesh and bone… but you created me to act like one!" Orbot stood bravely, moving away from Eggman to create some distance from him.
"Hmmm…?" Eggman leaned up, but kept his body still over the chair's armrest. "And what do you plan to do about it?"
Orbot's bravery… soon faded away.
"That's what I supposed."
"By misusing this power… What do you hope to create?"
"A new world."
"But… The laws of physic state that energy and life must come from somewhere! You can't spontaneously create something out of nothing!"
"True, true…"
"…What are you forcing her to use!?"
Eggman rose from his chair abruptly, having a strong and wicked presence to himself…
"Chaos once revolted against me… I won't have this power I now, solely harness, slip through my fingers once again!" he slammed the control panel, as the two robots hovered away.
He slowly leaned himself up, taking in a breath and removing the oxygen mask, placing it down before holding his hands behind himself.
"…."
He wiggled them a moment.
"Orbot… Cubot…"
He looked turned his head slightly their way, as they watched his back and the light from around them spiral away into the room where Harmony created…
"Do you know what the Ancient Echidna's did to craft the Emeralds..? What power they gave Harmony to then betray her and rule the entire planet?"
The two robots looked worriedly to each other.
"..No?"
With a strong swish of his hand, he turned his chair and jumped into it, leaning right in their faces as they cowered before his insane genius.
"They sacrificed their own people! They gave unwilling lives to give Harmony the power she needed…"
"B-But..! They went extinct!"
"Imagine the amount of lives they were willing to lose…" he held out his open hand, "Just to wield the power of Chaos?" He crushed his hand inward.
"So… So you're aware that the world is going to die… and you don't care?" Orbot looked disturbed and saddened. "But… it's the world you were born in…"
"I WILL CREATE MY OWN WORLD!"
Eggman turned his chair back to the lights, opening his arms out to it and keeping that crazed grin upon his face. His teeth sparkled with the lights…
"A world… all my own…"
Harmony hunched over, her one arm gripping her other shoulder as she felt years of Chaos Power she had harnessed to hopefully heal herself fade away from her in vain.
She looked down at her core… seeing her blood rippling and causing it to bubble uncontrollably in her rage.
She then felt the power of her creations… all those lives she just ripped power from…
She looked up… her eyes turning to sorrow…
Blood moved from inside her eyes to the corners of them, spraying around the fluid as though she was crying from the inside…
When the power begins to fade in intensitiy, the lights growing dimmer… Eggman suddenly looks back down to Harmony's enclosed containment field.
"Hmm?!" he gets up, dancing slightly to the large, wide window.
"Oh, Harmony? I hate to have you recall the sad tale to your remembrance, but do hear me out."
She turned to him, her body rippling like moving water…
"But I think you fail to appreciate the irony of this moment… none of your creations ever truly appreciated the 'ordered balance' you tried to give the world with Chaos right by your side…"
She shifted her head away, trying to block his image from her as she looked disgraced by that terrible memory…
"Hohoho… You feel it, don't you? All the women you thought were willingly giving their lives to control Chaos… You thought they were being truthful, so honest and pure… just like you designed them… but through Chaos's influences upon the world, sometimes, other forces interfere with such… happy thoughts, yes? Don't lie to yourself and say a part of you didn't want him to be sealed away…"
She immediately looked up in shock, and turned to shake her head in misery to Eggman, as if pleading that wasn't the case.
Her hand gripped her chest as the bubbles kept rising and dropping within her, a vicious cycle of her emotions showing how truly intense she was feeling his words…
"No? Well… it's still such a pity… All you wanted was to delight in your creations peace and happiness. The well-being of life was your task, and the destruction of them for the renewal of a new order was Chaos's part in all this…So, how does it feel, Harmony?"
His tone shifted, looming over the window as he gazed down to see her distraught and stress.
She gripped her head and shook her body left and right, unable to control the amount of power that was now coming from her emotions.
"Such a feeling God…"
The light grew more intense, the Crystal ringing as Harmony crunched her body down and tried to tune out his words.
"How does it feel… to contribute to the creation of your own world's demise?"
She spiked and her body liquidized up into the crystal, a powerful light shone so bright that the guns in the room were melted by it, the heat and the air were consumed in immediate fire… the literal flare of light…
"HOHOHOHO!"
Eggman laughed manically.
"Hell hath no fury…" Orbot began to quote, stepping away from the completely, white-consumed room as the three emeralds were the only thing unmelted…
The cage holding the Crystal melted and dropped it, having it crash to the center of the room, leaving a huge indent, just from its weight alone…
"Like a woman scorned." Cubot finished, turning away and simulating crying as he sobbed into his rubber hands.
The Crystal melted into the floor and then the ground… creating a strange lava-like substance around itself before the heat died down just slightly… and the light faded away.
All power ceased… and the Crystal remained moaning in agony.
On other sides of the dimensions and worlds… Blaze and Marine looked up to see a hole in the sun… an essence leaking through it…
Cream and Vanilla, still slightly recovering from the massively spread out absorption, turned to look out the window at the lights drifting in the sky…
Amy and Wave are helped down and sit by the stones of the Echidna ruins… where they unknowingly rest by the depiction of women being sacrificed before the sun… strangely shaped…
Like a Crystal.
The Harmony Crystal was moved to another location, being above and in the mist of her Emerald Giants as Eggman danced and jumped around, hugging and kissing the new creations as though they were his own.
Harmony was shocked by the three emeralds out of her Crystal again, falling gracefully down from the emerald as the Emerald Giants stepped back and made room for her.
They blinked as some tilted their heads, unsure why they felt a strange connection to her…
Eggman laughed as a light shone in through the metallic walls… it's light different from Harmony's…
She was sitting on her gobbish knees, her arm placed out in front of her, and her head down before looking up to see the light.
It blared once passing through the Crystal…
Her eyes widened in fright and she cowered as she leaned back and lifted her only arm up to cover herself from it.
Again, a hopeless look of regret and sorrow covered her body language and the red gems of her blood eyes…
Chaos's gazed remained undeterred from the skies…
Even when no answer was returned…
He narrowed his eyes into a sharp glare…
His bubbles within himself boiling out of control.
He hunched down before rearing himself up, crying out an angered sound…
Only the clouds of the sky could hear his want and longing…
Harmony…
