Chapter 4: To Protect For Naught (Rape Content Warning!!)

Monday afternoon in Station Square, right after school when students like to go home or goof off for the afternoon. Everyone else, mostly adults, are either still at work or going there from break. Where these people usually crowd up on the way is the underbelly of the city, the Marble Subway System. Dark in some places, Bright in others, the station is purple-bricked like the Marble Zone. In truth, the whole area looks exactly like Marble Zone, without the plants and lava and spiky traps. Trains zoom by at somewhat random intervals with 5-8 minutes wait time in between each train. This area is also known for shady activity, like pickpocketing, assaults, things of that nature. Basically, unless you're roughly 5 feet within eyesight of a security officer, you aren't really safe down here. That's not to say the system is all bad, since crime rate is relatively random and unspoken of. The really serious issues that occur, like assault; physical or sexual; are rare.

The trains were packed with men in various colored business suits and attire. While most were talking among co-workers of their upcoming promotions or stuff of that nature, others weren't speaking at all, either asleep or in deep thought. Very few amount of them were looking at all the young ladies around them for shady reasons, as you can well imagine. Stressful work days can hinder good judgement, in this case, the ability to control one's hormones. Regardless, the train was packed, but not with just these business people. Two people on the train stood out from them, one male and one female, both human. The first one is a young man, around 20 yrs old, green hair with short bangs yet long hair in the back of his head, a red scarf around his neck and a blue shirt and pants. His eyes were black and his expression was very bored, like he wasn't too concerned for anything that might happen on the train as he leaned on the left door.

The second one was a young girl, about maybe 14 yrs of age, pink hair with two curls and a pair of sunglasses covering her blue eyes. Now, there are times when people wear revealing clothing outside of their own home, but not so bad as to attract a lot of attention. This girl, however and for whatever reason, didn't apply to this logic at all with her clothes. She wore a yellow top that seemed like at least 2/3 of it was ripped off, lightly exposing her breasts, but not so much. Her jean shorts were totally ridiculous, way too short and way too tight, to the point of the back end disappearing in between her behind and exposing her cheeks. Luckily, she had enough dignity to make sure her privates were at least covered. Now you may not feel too sympathetic for her with what happens next, but one of the suited men noticed her and advanced towards her, lust in his eyes.

She was totally concentrated on the outside that she didn't seem to sense the presence of the man moving closer. He simply looked over the young beauty before him, passion and desire clouding his mind and hindering his judgement. He made his move and placed his hand near the girl's rear and slightly rubbed there, causing the girl to gasp at the surprising touch with slight concern arising within her. "No...please stop..." she said as the man continued to pester her, bordering on total invasion of personal space by pushing his finger past her shorts and into her behind. Now the girl was getting in a panic, looking to the green haired man directly across from her a few feet away. "Mr. Kenzaki...please help me..!" she cried out to the green haired man, whose name you now know as Kenzami. Strange enough, he didn't seem to care 'cause he wasn't making any effort to help her at all.

The man attracted the attention of two others, who walked over to the scene. Instead of offering the poor girl some assistance, they join in by grabbing hold of her breasts from beneath her shirt, fondling with sadistic grins on their faces. "Somebody...anybody please..." she asked in quite a panic now as they violated her body. The situation got worse as the first man's lust reached terrifying heights. "Such a naughty little girl..." the man lowly said as he opened the front and thrusted three fingers into her sensitive spot. Absolute pain had taken over her body as tears slowly formed under her eyes. On the platform outside the train, a blur of blue jets down to the train platform waiting for the train to arrive.

"Hmm...come on, stupid train. Although in retrospect, I could just run up there in less than a minute. Hmm?" Sonic said, looking to see that the train did arrive but the sight on the train attracted his attention even more. The men and the girl stepped of the train and caught Sonic's attention, making the hedgehog snap to attention immediately.

"Uhh, guys? What are you doing?" asked Sonic, who knew damn well what they were doing. "We're doing very grown up things, kid. Now run along." said one of the guys, who obviously didn't notice that it was Sonic. "Grown up things, eh? Well, looks more like rape to me. Now, would you mind letting her go?" Sonic asked, maintaining relative non-existance to the men, even as he moved closer. "Run along now, we're busy with our girl." another guy stated, now irritating Sonic. "Hey, guys?" Sonic asked very sweetly, making them turn around to face fists from Sonic, who knocked them all out and scooped up the girl, running straight up the steps to the surface.

"Whew, that was close, but I'm glad you're okay. Still, the way you're, like, dressed, can't blame their inability to control their hormones. Are you okay?" Sonic asked the pink-haired girl, who remained a little shaken up. "Well, I guess it makes sense that you're shaken up. I can understand if you don't exactly trust me now, hell I wouldn't after that, but I'm here to help you. I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic proudly said, somewhat calming the girl, but she remained still.

"That must have been rough, so I'm glad that I made it when I did. I just hope you'll be..." he was stopped mid speech by the girl rushing over and catching him in a tight embrace, tears streaming down her cheeks to Sonic's face. He was about high enough for his forehead to reach her neck, shows how small he was compared to a teenage human. Heavy gasps for air as she cried only made Sonic feel worse about the ordeal as he returned the embrace. "This will be a huge mess, I can just tell...well, I'll need to cancel my trip to the mall today to help her out. I'd better head home." Sonic thought as he picked her up again and ran full sprint toward his house. Behind him, the men who were knocked out arose with slight anger. "Damn, she got away. Boss will kill us if we don't get her back. We gotta follow him." said one of them as they rose up and gave slow chase.

Sonic carried the girl back to his house as he thinks on what to do. "This is a situation I'm not prepared for. This girl was totally violated in broad daylight...Well, I'm still gonna help her. As soon as I figure out how besides doing an embarrassing dance in a lobster suit." Sonic thought as he neared his house and went inside, the girl maintaining a tight grip with her arms around his neck. Once in the living room, he sat her down and sat as well to catch his breath.

"Whew, that was close. I'd better get some tea, that will hopefully calm you down a little. I'll be right back." Sonic said, standing to go to the kitchen. Of course he wouldn't get very far without the girl getting into a panic and with only three feet between them, she quickly rushed over to him, wrapping her arms around his body and burying her face in his back. "Whoa! What the...?! What's wrong?" Sonic tried his best to calm her again, but there seemed to be only one option. "I see...okay, I guess you should come with me, given that I was only gonna be like, six feet from you." Sonic said as she walked with him to the kitchen. A few moments later, they returned to the living room and sat down with som herbal tea, the kind of tea that makes you feel relaxed.

"There you go. So, do you think you can tell me what happened, aside from what I saw down at the station?" Sonic asked.

The girl didn't say anything at all, worrying Sonic a little more than he already was. There was a period of silence that was broken by the sound of the phone going off. "I'll get it. Hello? Oh, what's up Tails? Yeah, I did all that before I left. Well, there was an incident at the subway that I took care of...wait, someone else is on the line, so I'll call you a little later okay? Okay, see you." Sonic finished his conversation with Tails and switched over to the other person. "Hello? Oh hey Cosmo. Hey Sonic, how's it going with you? Oh, just fine, a little incident in the sub. station. Really, what happened? Sick bastards wanting female flesh. Oh jeez, is she okay? Yeah, but I want to look after her, try to make her feel more comfortable. I wish I knew what to do. Do what ever you need to do to help her, Sonic. Hold on a sec." Sonic pulled out his laptop and pulled up a document he typed in about three seconds.

"Okay, I'm sending this document over to you. Please sign it and send it back." Sonic asked as he sent Cosmo the document. "What is this?" she said as she looked it over. "It just a document stating that my actions shall not cause anything for our friendship. I've seen lots of couples just fall apart from suspected cheating or things like that, so I want to make sure that doesn't happen to us." Sonic said as the document was sent back, signed. "You're so silly. Anyway, I gotta get off, but I'll see you soon. Are you coming to school tomorrow?" Cosmo asked before she would hang up. "I doubt it. Leaving her alone wouldn't exactly be the smartest thing for me to do. I'll see you hopefully on Wednesday, okay?" Sonic said before they both hang up.

"Yeah, I really don't think I'll head in tomorrow. Regardless, I'd better head to the store to get the usual stuff. You wanna...?" once more cut off before finishing his sentence by the girl wrapping around his body, her head buried in his chest. "Yeah, forget I asked. It'll be okay, though. I'll protect you, okay?" Sonic told her, recieving a positive nod from her. He lifted her and jetted over to the Station Square Superstore, known for great satisfaction. Once in front of the store, they walked in before Sonic suddenly stopped. "Hold on a second." he told her before he turned around and grabbed a small rock. Using Geosynthesis, he put his hand on it and slowly pulled it into a long staff. "Come on out already, I knew you were following us, guys." Sonic said, holding the staff with the girl close by. "Damn, how'd you...oh never mind. Listen kid, do you know what you are dealing with?" the suited guys came out, fists clenched in anger. "That girl is very special to us. She's super hot and would make a fine slave for any man." one guy said. "Sick...you sick bastards. Now that's just wrong. Depriving someone of their freedom is bad enough, but to be subjected to such evils...I'll never forgive such a plan!" said Sonic before swinging his staff as they advanced much quicker to him.

They all went down but had no intentions of fighting fairly. One of the guys pulled out a fog explosive that covered them in, well, fog. "Crap, I know how this will turn out...Sonic Wind!" Sonic evoked the whirlwind and the fog vanished. Unfortunately, so did the guys and the girl, who were up ahead. "Well, I'll be darned! Hey, get back here!" Sonic said, pursuing them to a large building before he stopped as they locked the door. "Damn...wait. I know what to do. Feather Dragon!" Sonic yelled, using the feather to unleash the beast within, and immediately afterwards, assuming the Wing Zero Custom form again. "Okay, let's hope this works." he said as he floated up to the lit window. The men weren't in the room, so now was a good time. He broke through the window, startling the girl. "Shh, it's okay, it's me Sonic! Let's get you out of here, okay?" Sonic said but was stopped by the sounds of the door opening. "Hey, what the...?" the men shouted before they were blown down the steps, toppling each other in the process. "Ouch...what is your purpose in protecting a whore!?" one man shouted, which pissed Sonic off greatly. "Stick it in your hat, pervert! We're so outta here!" said Sonic as he lifted her and flew out.

Back at the store, they were welcomed by the storekeeper, a kind woman named Yana. "Hello, Sonic! Will you be getting the usual again?" she asked him. "Yes, please. Still on the house?" Sonic asked. "Yup. Oh, is this your friend? Is she alright?" she asked, looking over at the girl. "Yeah, I helped her out from some guys down in the subway. I want to protect her, yet I'm not sure why. I just...just feel like it's the right thing to do. Am I crazy?" Sonic asked the storekeep, who could only laugh. "Of course not. Do what you believe is right, Sonic. Also, congratualtions on your High Rank pass!" Yana said, filling Sonic's face with a smile. "Thanks a lot. Umm, did you want something sweet while we were here?" Sonic asked the girl, who nodded in the "no" fashion. They were back at Sonic's house right quick. "Now to whip up my famous Noodle Soup! Trust me, it's da bomb!" Sonic said, leading her to the kitchen where ten minutes later, a large plate of noodles with soy sauce rested in the center of the table.

"Awesome, take as much as you like, okay?" Sonic said, taking a lot himself and eating quite quickly. The girl took a little and tasted it, before eating normally. After a few moments, the plate was empty and Sonic had cleaned up everything. They walked back to the living room and turned on the television. "Hmm, nothing is on. Never really is at 9 PM, I guess. Well, I'm gonna get ready to sleep, so I need to take a shower. But I want you to go first, just cause it's polite, okay?" Sonic said, with the girl responding with a nod. Of course, it wouldn't be as easy as Sonic wanted it to be, since he didn't hear the water come on. "Uhh, you okay in there?" Sonic asked before the door opened with the girl standing there. "Oh, okay, I should've seen that. I'll just sit inside for you." Sonic said as he sat down while she showered. After she was done, Sonic hopped in and out quickly. The girl maintain the same clothing she wore when they met, and Sonic did the same when they walked in his room. "So, uhh, you can sleep in my bed and I'll set myself on this small couch here...no wait. I really know where that's going, so I guess I shouldn't do that. I promise I won't make any false movements if you want me to sleep with you." said Sonic. The girl was quite fine with that, once they got in, she fell asleep on his chest, embracing him as she slept. "I hope you sleep well...I really do..." Sonic said before drifting to sleep himself. Very long night ahead were his final thoughts before he was knocked out.
