Chapter 3: The "Vengance" in Hero is Silent
Unfortunately living in nothing but vast cold, burials cannot be properly done. In my parent's will they specifically asked to be cremated. Even worse was the honest fact that I could not spend the time to mourn them. I had to save Amy to spare Sonic and his friends from a similar and cruel fate. Everyone was apologizing to me, throwing me pity, but nothing helped, because it was all taken away from me. No matter what nothing would bring them back. Needless to say I wanted blood to be spilt. Eggman deserved nothing less than to be gutted for what he had done….
Day 23:
Everyone kept a relative distance because I was training frequently. Wake up, work out, eat, work out, eat, shower, then sleep. That had been my life for the past 10 days, but today was the day we struck Eggman at his base. Vengeance will be mine!
"Alright so that is the plan. Any questions?" Sonic asked our group. Silence loomed, I am certain everyone could tell how angry I had become. We all get up preparing for the journey ahead. Getting to the base will be easy, even getting inside will not be difficult. The worst part will be fighting our way though. Even Eggman will have been preparing to fight us off. Unfortunately for him, I do not think he realizes that once you kill part of my pack, there is no forgiveness to be given.
The wind from the tail end of the blizzard was harsh but familiar. Unlike me the others decided to bundle up more until they could get inside. We hopped onto Tail's plane, his X-tornado if I remember right. As the engine spurred on we zoomed into the sky, well aware that we would be spotted. It had been almost a flash before we had spotted his hideout, which explained the armada he sent us, being so close it must have been child's play. I gritted my teeth with a wicked smile. I was ready, more so than I had ever predicted.
"This is it boys, let's go teach Egghead a lesson" Sonic yelled over the roar of the engine.
"WHAT?" Shadow yelled over another roar, but it was from the engine.
"Incoming! Brace for-" Tails yelled as an explosion hit the plane directly. Fire and smoke covered my line of sight as we were going down fast. Shooting ice from my hand I made a slide right under the plane in order for us to not crash directly into the base. Another shot could be heard. The others had jumped off as I jumped at the last second. I could hear the X-tornado explode behind me. I heard someone yelling at me as we were falling. I couldn't make out what they said, but I knew my role, freeze my way into the base. I made another ice slide to ride down to the roof of the egg shaped base. Guns fired as bullets soared tearing through my ice, whipping past my ears. I fortunately make it to the roof. I look directly ahead to see a turret rising as I shoot ice directly at it. Freezing it in place I shatter the turret leaving an entrance for everyone to enter. I could've waited, but I was too angry. I wanted to find Robotnik before anyone could stop me. I found myself directly next to what I assumed to be the main entrance. A variety of tanks and robots were furiously working, preparing for what I assumed to be a war. Such a waste of technology. I roar as I violently pounce on some of the working bots, tearing them in half with my ice claws. Shooting a spear at the control panel the door opens and an alarm sounds.
"Nice job, but we have to hurry if we want to find them. Tails come with me, you two can search together or split up, just go!" Sonic commanded as they zoomed into the base. I look over to Shadow who already started running. I decided to go through a different path than either of them. Maybe Eggman will fall for my bait.
**Meanwhile with Eggman***
"Ho-ho-ho! Well Amy, look at this it looks like you have your boyfriend and friends chasing after you! Look even the ice freak is hunting for you" He laughs maniacally.
"You won't get away with this!" Amy yelled with tears in her eyes. Eggman only turned and grinned as he pressed a button on his computer zapping Amy. She screamed falling unconscious.
"You know I have had it with you pesky rodents. I always try these different haphazard ways to kill you. I fight you with giant machines, ancient creatures, hell I made clones of you with my technology for Christ's sake. But, today that changes. I know I have said it in the past but this is a revolutionary day for the Robotniks, blood will be shed. I will make anyone who gets in my way regret the day they thought they could refuse Dr. Ivo Robotnik" He yelled at the unconscious hedgehog. I only need her until I trap them, then she is as good as dead.
**Back to the Ryan**
A feint scream could be heard. I tore through bot after bot. A variety of weapons were held, guns, swords, hammers, even lances. I could never understand why or how he acquired all of this metal, but it was unimportant to the main task at hand. I snarled following the sound of the scream only to be stopped by a large, heavily locked door. I smashed at the door, "Eggman! There is no hiding from me!" I yelled.
A small monitor flew over to me where Eggman was seen in front of an unconscious Amy. I snarled and yelled, my eyes even began to feel icy cold.
"Well, well, I am surprised to see that you found me before Sonic did. I guess he is taking a longer route to find me. Shame, really but I supposed I can test out my latest treat on you instead mutt" Eggman said sinisterly from the screen.
"Bring it" I said trying to look him dead in the eyes. As requested the door had opened and what lied inside even I could not say I was prepared for. I look to see what was styled as a robotic Sonic the Hedgehog. It eyes glowed fiercely red. It had metallic blue quills, its eyes were black with a red line for a sensor. Its arms and legs were thin but metal, its stomach or core showed what could be a cannon or core for the robot itself.

I ready myself as the Sonic look-a-like runs at me almost as quickly as Sonic. Barely dodging it I side step forming my ice claws. I howl as I run at it with intent to tear it to shred. It slides on the ground at an insane speed turning into a ball similar to Sonic and coming straight for me. Yelling as loud as I could I swipe my claws at the ball only to hear the sound of the ice shatter and a cracking noise from my arm he hits my arm then bounces off of me. I scream in pain looking at my right arm as a bone protrudes out bleed. I gasp heavily as I try to ice it back into place. My vision is blurry from the pain.
Target damages…
Vital signs dropping….
"Don't you mock me you block of bolts!" I yell as I start forming an ice sword in my left hand. I grunt and grimace trying my best to ignore the pain. The robot version rolls back to come straight at me. I point my hand at the ground as I quickly form an ice wall that surprisingly stopped the robot. I gets up staring directly at me. I smile devilishly.
Your attempt to stop my objective is futile…
I growl as I stance myself for an attack. The robot punches through the ice where I barely dodge laughing in victory as I slice for its inside. My sword tore through cause sparks and a small explosion to go off. I jumped back as it swung at me again and I shoot ice spears right for it. The robot pointed its hand at the incoming spikes only to reveal what I assumed to be a machine gun unloading bullets into my spears.
That was the only chance you will receive to kill me…
I could almost swear that the bot mocked me with the way it spoke. Even with the unnerving monotone robotic voice it maintained. "Well as much fun as it is watching you two struggle I think I need to put the odds in my favor. Mecha! Execute operation Emerald!" Eggman yelled from his monitor.
Yes Professor….
Metal Sonic stood straight up revealing a small purple gem. It stood tall and mighty as if it had taken over the world as energy zapped from the gem covering the robot. A purple aurora covered the robot. Within an instant it vanished from sight. I jumped back expecting to be punched in the face only to jump back into being rolled at by the monstrous robot. I could hear Eggman cackle. I was in major trouble. I fell to the ground only to see the robot slide right at me. I saw my opportunity. This was my only chance. I stayed there waiting for it to strike. As it was right in front of me with its arm out to I assume stab me, I rolled forming an ice sculpture of myself. The robot, unable to stop crashed into the sculpture only to fly in the air and be impaled by many ice spears. I roared as I cut the robot in half, catching the emerald-like gem.
"NO, NO! This is all wrong! You were supposed to die you stupid mutt!" Eggman yelled from the monitor and the floor opened up to reveal him and Amy. I snarled as I ran towards him, where a shield repelled me from even attacking.
"There, there I am sure you will be fine losing both your parents and all of your new friends!" Eggman laughed as he cocked a pistol that he had in hand. He starts to unload the pistol aiming it at me. I manage to move out of the way. I grip tightly to the emerald as it glows brightly and feels warm. I could swear I see that same aurora glow around it.
" You know, this is great in some senses, I just turned a new leave to be more ruthless than ever, and it figures I happen to kill the parents of some ice wolf freak! Don't you think mutt? I am sure Amy will be so happy to know that she got shot and tortured repeatedly because her friends are failures at being heroes!" He laughed reloading his gun. I hide behind a metal barrier seeing the remains of the robot. It gives me an idea. I shoot some ice spears in the sky, distracting Eggman as he shoots them out of the sky. I run straight for the destroyed robot, picking up its head I cover it in ice as I throw it directly at him. He laughs as he side steps only to hear the sound of crash as it hits his computer. The shield that repelled me had stopped work. Eggman looks panicked as he turns around to see me running at him. He fires his gun to hear it empty, already panicked he swings the butt of the weapon at me. I dodge it moving the arm to the side as I trip him over slamming him into the ground. I freeze his shoulder against to the ground. I laugh as I make my way to Amy's cage breathless. I freeze the bars smashing them. I lightly nudge her until she wakes up.
"Ryan!" She cries hugging me as I help her up.
"C'mon, we need to get out of here pronto" I say weakly as we walk past Eggman. I stop us aiming my good hand at him mustering up to kill him.
"Ryan don't do it! Killing him will not do anything!" Amy cried trying to push my arm down.
"My parents are dead thanks to this shit. I can't just sit here in front of my killer when I can grant them revenge. My parents didn't deserve it!" I say angrily. I stare into Eggman's goggles. I can see him sweating profusely even in the cold, because he is so scared of dying.
"I understand what it is like. I lost mine too, killing him will make you just as bad and low as Eggman. There are better ways to deal with him!" Amy pleaded. I turn and look into her eyes, I can see the tears forming. I try to stay angry, I wanted him dead. I wanted my parents back more, but she was right. I sighed heavily as I lowered my hand.
"Ryan! There you guys are" Sonic yelled out dashing to us. He looked around to see Eggman lying on the ground shaking, the destroyed metal copy. "You fought his robot me? By yourself? Are you insane?! You could've died! Why didn't you find us! We would've taken care of it!" Sonic said angrily.
"Really? Sonic we were here to save Amy and I did not have the chance to get or call anyone. I did what anyone of you would do and you know it!" I yelled back. Sonic looked at me annoyed but suddenly his expression changed as we hear another gun shot go off. Blood splattered over Sonic's chest. I could feel the warm splat hit the side of my face as Amy fell down to the ground. I turned around to see a ferocious smile from Robotnik, while screaming I shot an ice spear, impaling Eggman's shoulder. He screamed, dropping the gun. Turning back to Amy, who was bleeding on the floor. We searched to see she a was shot in the side. There was a hole through both sides which fortunately meant that it had gone through. Reacting as quickly as I could. I made a small ice layer stopping the bleeding on both ends. I looked at Sonic who was shell shocked.
"Sonic, run back to my base with her, I will find the others. Just get her to the medical bay, GO GO!" I yelled as he shakily picked up Amy becoming a blue, unseen blur. I slowly walk back over to the computer terminal Eggman was at. I walked passed Eggman who was still screaming. "You know if it weren't for Amy you would be dead!" I yelled twisting the spear. He only screamed louder until he fainted from the pain. I huffed as I walked over to what looked like a microphone.
"Shadow and Tails leave, we got Amy. I repeat we got Amy" I say as I hear it over what I assume to be a loud speaker. Looking at the array of glowing buttons and keys I see a large red button which I decide to slam on in hopes for self destruction.
E.G.G.M.A.N. Base liftoff commences in 5 minutes
I look panicked, realizing I need to run. I start with a sprint only to ice the floors as I slide my way to the nearest exit.
3 minutes….
I look around panicked following the same path I followed to find Eggman. I dodge robots left and right.
1 minute
I can see the door as it is slowly closes and the base begins to rumble. I snarl as I jump off my ice slide narrowly sliding through the opening in the door as the base begins to fly up into the sky. I stare in amazement as I can feel my exhaustion catch up to me. I laugh and smile, "I did it Mom and Dad. I saved someone like I said I would" I can feel the tears pouring from my eyes. I laugh as I hear a rush and see Sonic stand in front of me angry.
"You stupid fuck Amy almost died!" he yelled as he punched me square in the face. I pass out. I feel scared uncertain of what I will wake up to.
