A story that I've been thinking about for the longest time, Sonic x Cosmo. I don't own any of the SEGA characters here and my fan characters will be identified in the story. Rated for sex and violence, along with language. Not a single flame will be accepted, but suggestions are welcomed. If you don't like the couple, don't read the damn story.
Chapter 8: From The Thorny Rose Comes...(Acts of torture in this chapter...fair warning)
In the remote region in the snow-caped mountains, the aircraft lands in the powder before the building. This place is known as Grivience, a top-secret R&D facility set up within an ancient castle in the north. Only HRG were permitted entrance, but recently the castle's true operations were shown to the public to ensure that suspicions of evil intentions were out of the question. In truth, there were evil things going on but most people agreed to keep out of it. Anyway, from the aircraft, dozens of large muscular HRG carried the large capsule with a sleeping Sonic into the castle. Aside from large technological equipment, the interior was that of a very old castle, large stained glass windows and stone pillars were around. They set Sonic down in a spot where the capsule apparently originated. "We finally have you...after all the trouble we went through...the Supreme General will soon be here to see you...he will be impressed." Flaere said, looking at the deep-sleep beast Sonic.
Back at Station Square, Tails landed next to Cosmo's house. "Thank you for the lift, Tails...I really appreciate it..." Cosmo said. "No problem...don't you worry, Cosmo...we're gonna save Sonic...you sure you're gonna be okay?" Tails said. "sniff...Thank you so much Tails...I'll be fine..." she said, lightly kissing his cheek. "Man...my mom's gonna kill me for taking the Tornado, but when I tell her why, it'll be okay. Good night, Cosmo." Tails said before flying off. Cosmo entered her house, tears lightly dropping from her eyes. "Cosmo, dear, you're back. Cosmo? What's the matter?" Hertia asked her daughter, who ran to her and embraced her. "Oh, mother! They...they took him away...THEY TOOK SONIC!!" she cried out as her mother held her. "Slow down, Cosmo! Who took him?! Oh dear..." she said, holding her tightly. "The...the HRG...I just...he did so much for me...and I couldn't save him..!" she cried out. Her mother walked her over to the kitchen to eat and hopefully calm her down. Afterwards, Cosmo got in the shower to wash up before going to sleep. Before her was an image of Sonic, smiling at her. She came closer to it and felt his hand at her cheek. Just as their lips were about to touch, the image vanished. "...Oh, Sonic...please be all right..." she said as she finished up and went to sleep.
The castle of Grivience shone with the light of research going on. A few scientists passed Sonic, staring and exchanging opinions of the whole ordeal. Sonic was still knocked out, so he couldn't see whatever was going on. "So, this is it, huh? Looks like a child to me...I feel bad knowing we're gonna just abandon him into the SubZero Snow Research Grounds...hey, can you hear me?" said a scientist, expecting a response from Sonic. He recieved nothing but still continued. "Well, if you can, you may be in for some trouble. That's why we made this for you. After a couple of months of research from other universes and their weaponry, we recreated this gun. It's called a Morph Gun(weapon of choice from Jak II, love that game). You can have it if you want...I'll leave it here for you." said the scientist, who left the gun on the side of the capsule with the Scatter Gun part already attatched. He walked off, leaving Sonic there.
The next day came with Cosmo walking to school. Tryn appeared before her, about halfway to the school. "Hey, Cosmo! How are you today?" he asked her, obviously happy for Sonic's capture. "Oh hello, Tryn. I'm alright, I guess..." she said, her sadness evident. "It must be sad that Sonic was just taken like that." "It's horrible...I'm so worried...What if I never...see him again?" "Everything will be okay, Cosmo. If you feel down, I'm here for you." "Thank you for that..." she said, meeting up with Tails at the gate. "How did you sleep last night, Cosmo?" Tails said as they walked to class. "Not too well...my mind is just riddled with concern..." she said. "Don't worry, we'll try and find him after school." "Okay, Tails..." They entered Geosynthesis class and sat down as Mr. Rock came in. "Let's see, looks like everyone is here...wait...where's Sonic? I know he had that day off but where is he now?" Mr. Rock asked, recieving forlorn faces from Tails and Cosmo. "...I see. Well, let's get started." he said, somehow moving a piece of chalk on the board.
"The Supreme General is here, General Flaere!" yelled a grunt. "Perfect, open the gate." said Flaere, walking over to the front foyer of the castle. "Sir, welcome to Grivience. General Flaere reporting." said the fire Geosynthesizer. "At ease, General. Let's see what you were talking about." said Aneggm, wearing a large coat. They walked over to Sonic's capsule and a smirk appeared on Aneggm's face. "So, this is the great Geosynthesis weapon? Interesting." he said, placing a hand on the capsule. "He's knocked out for a few more hours, sir." said Flaere. "I've awaited this day...I couldn't capture you in detention...I couldn't suspend you...but now I've finally got you where I want you...now stay there, stay asleep or you're fired...hehehehee..." Aneggm said. "Sirs, we found Vrasai outside the castle! We're bringing her in now!" yelled another grunt. "Perfect, the "mistaken" mother." said Aneggm as a capsule with Vrasai inside was carried within the castle. "My baby...I want my baby..." she said. "Why not? Open the capsule for the both of them." said Flaere as both capsules opened. Vrasai walked over to the sleeping Sonic and held him tightly. "My baby...my poor baby..." she said while stroking his head, listening to his breathing. "Hmm...well, put them back in now. Place her capsule next to his." Aneggm said, grabbing Sonic and placing him back in the capsule while Flaere put Vrasai back in her's. "We'll call in our top reseacher to look at Sonic...thoroughly." said Flaere with a sadistic tone in his voice. "I see...her methods are quite painful, you realize?" Aneggm commented. "Yes, but she does the best job." "Very well, do it then. I want thorough specs on this child before we continue." "Yes sir."
After school, Tails and Cosmo met with Knuckles and Shadow in the back of the school. "So, what did you call us out for, Tails?" Shadow asked. "Yeah, and where's Sonic? I assumed he'd be here too." Knuckles said. "Sonic is the reason why I called you here. The HRG...they've taken him captive." Tails said, recieving shocked gasps from Shadow and Knuckles. "Are you serious? I never would've guessed that to happen." Shadow said. "They took our homey!? Let's go get him!" Knuckles said. "Another reason why I called you two out. You gotta help us find him. I asked my mom if I could borrow the Tornado again, so we'll leave...now, actually." Tails said, pointing to the Tornado. Then, they were off to the skies as Tails dialed Sonic's cell phone number to recieve a signal to follow. He caught it and flew straight at the point of origin, going north. "What the hell...?" Tails said as he looked at the signal. "What's the matter, Tails?" Cosmo asked. "I'm not sure if we should go on. It's going to the extreme north and we didn't bring anything warm. We gotta turn back, guys." Tails said. "Oh...all right...let's go back..." Cosmo said as Tails turned the plane around. She looked over the side and saw the large castle in the snowy winds and agreed with Tails. "Don't worry, Sonic...We'll be back..." she said as the castle disappeared into the distance.
Within the castle, a small group of scientists followed a female fox. She wore a large white coat that covered up her whole body except for her head and feet. She also wore blue heels and long red latex gloves. Her long red hair blew in the little wind in the building, a small bang covering her left eye. About the only thing about her that every scientist knew was that she had some really big breasts, but that's beyond the point. She was also known to be incredibly merciless with experimentation, resulting in some really horrific results in Geosynthesis experiments. "Hmm, now where is my new subject?" she asked her group, who lead her to Sonic's capsule. "Right here, Ms. Wedrinia." said one of them. She looked at the sleeping hedgehog and seemed content. "All right then, open the capsule." she said as they scrambled over to the controls. Once opened, Sonic's collapsing body was caught by Wedrinia. "Poor child...well, let us get started." she said, carrying him over to a long table with some cables. The cables were wrapped around Sonic's wrists and ankles and Wedrinia got on op of the table. "Now let's see here...once I place this around his neck, we're all set." she said as she placed a ring-like thing, connected to the table, around Sonic's neck; her breasts occasionally touching his face. Since he was still knocked out, he didn't notice at all.
After she got down, she placed a hand on his chest. "Perfect, there is still a heartbeat. All right, start placing the probes." she said. Her associates placed rod-like things with wires at the bottom in Sonic's mouth and ears while attaching suction-cups with wires on his head and chest. "We're wired, ma'am. All set for the final probe." one scientist said to Wedrinia, who took off her white coat. Her whole body was covered in an orange-latex outfit with her red gloves and boots still on. "All right then, hand it to me. I shall place it into him." she said as the scientist handed her the wired rod. She lightly licked it before moving over to Sonic. "Such an innocent child...it sort of pains me to do this to him...yet my orders stand." she said as she lifted Sonic's body to look below. She lightly licked Sonic's hole before she pushed the probe within. Sonic's eyes shot wide-open and muffled screeching came from his mouth. Electricty covered his body as the probes shocked him, taking in as much data as possible. "Hold on for a little longer, child...it will all be over soon..." she said as she listened to Sonic's suffering. The data machines, however, couldn't hold it all in and soon exploded. "No way...all that work, it's all gone..." said a scientist as the others prayed for backup data. Their prayers were unanswered as everything they got was gone. "Now what do we do, ma'am? Without the data..." a scientist said. "Hmm...let me see something. Perhaps I can get something from him personally..." she said, walking over to Sonic's body, getting on the table and looming over him.
He was breathing heavily from the torture he'd somehow survived but still maintained the Pyreo form. "Ma'am, I don't think this is a good idea..." said one of them. "Don't be jealous. Maybe you'll have a turn soon." she said. "That's not what I meant. I mean, can we actually get data in this way?" he asked. "I'll just put the probe within me as I connect with the child. That should enable the data to travel through my body and enter the machine. Hand me the probe so we can do this quickly." she said, standing over Sonic's body and exposing his horn. She connected herself by her sweet spot and pushed the probe into her behind, loud gasps escaping her mouth. "Ma'am, are you all right!?" one of the scientists asked as he watched. "Ahh...yes, I'll be fine. I'm going to get started now. Ready the machines for data extraction..." she said, pulling Sonic's head to her breasts as she moved up and down quickly. The electricity coursed through the both of them as she increased in speed, the data showing up on the screen. "It seems to be working, Ma'am...Ma'am?" asked a concerned scientist when he recieved no response. She was going really fast now, screaming out gasps of pain as she continued. The machines were overloading now as smoke rose from the screens and Wedrinia couldn't go on too much longer. "AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" she said as the machines exploded again and she stopped. Slowly she removed herself from Sonic, pulling out the rod. Apparently, the rod was very hot since within her anus, scolded skin was present. Her entire body was hot after what happened and Sonic lost consciousness again. "Ma'am! Ma'am, are you all right?!" one of them yelled, reaching out to her with his hand. "Yes...I am fine...I went too far...I shouldn't have done that to a child...That was really wrong of me...and we didn't get any data at all...?" she said, panting wildly. "Nothing at all...his data is too much for our machines to handle..." he said, giving her back her white coat. "There's nothing that could be done then...we've thrown everything at this problem, yet we've recieved no results..." she said looking over to Sonic. "And we tortured a child...my guilt may never cease..." said a scientist, the others exchanging similar opinions. "...yes...it wasn't right at all, but...regardless...let's get him back over to his capsule now...I believe we are done here..." she said, lifting Sonic and carrying him over to the capsule. "Child...I apologize for that...I don't know if you can hear me...but I apologize...please forgive me..." she said as she settled him down in the capsule and walked off.
Once more, Tails flew the Tornado across the sea to the north with Cosmo, Knuckles and Shadow. They saw the castle and landed a couple of feet away from it to avoid any detection. "So, he's in there, Tails?" Knuckle asked. "According to his cellphone signal, that's right." Tails said, looking at the place. "This is huge..." Shadow said, looking all over the castle. "Well, let's get inside. It's a little chilly out here." Cosmo said as they entered the castle. "Whoa, what are you kids doing here?" said an HRG grunt. "Uhh...we're looking for a friend." said Tails. "Stand down, soldier. These are the hedgehog's friends. I guess I should be impressed by you all coming here." said Flaere, who arrived on the scene. "Please...show us where Sonic is." Cosmo asked, to which Flaere led them to his capsule, where Sonic resided. He had been knocked out with the same gas, so he didn't know that the others were outside. "Oh my god...what happened to him...?" Cosmo asked, looking at small marks on his body as well the fact that he was unconscious. "In order to get some data, our researchers probed him but it proved to be pointless. The gas within the capsule will keep him out of it for another hour or so..." said Flaere. "What the hell?! How could you do such a thing to him?!" Tails yelled. "You all are too young to understand. He'll be sent out to the SubZero region soon, anyway. Need to test our new Geosynthesis weapon." said Flaere as he walked off. "Come on, we gotta get him out fast." Shadow said. Knuckles walked over to the capsule and tapped it lightly. "Hmm...okay, here's the weak spot. Stand back, guys! RAH!" he yelled after tapping the glass all over the capsule. His fist contacted with the spot, shattering the capsule in the process. Sonic fell out and was caught by Shadow. "Hmm...I guess he's okay. Gotta wait for the gases to filter out of his body." he said as he caught Sonic. Not surprisingly, the alarms went off and HRG ran to the site. "He's broken out! I repeat, the weapon's broken out!" they yelled, attracting the attention of Flaere and Aneggm. "Sonic..." they both said as they ran to the scene. The alarms woke up Sonic, who leapt in front of his friends and stood before the HRG guards, growling the whole time.
"Damn, he's loose and awake! Fire!" they yelled, pulling out steel and synthesizing it into rifles. They fired at Sonic, who took every shot to protect the others before suddenly appeared behind them. All of the bullets they used shot through them all, their bodies littering the ground. Sonic grabbed hold of the others and ran out to the exit. "Close off all doors! Don't let him escape!" Flaere said, Aneggm looking unsurprised. Sonic bursts through the steel gates and saw guards coming. While his friends held on, Sonic kept running and produced the Morph Gun and shot Scatter shots, blowing away the guards as he ran. Another gate came down and Sonic spin-dashed through the gate and got the others through. He stood firm ready to take down any guards. "Sonic! Come on, we gotta hurry before more arrive!" Cosmo said, but Sonic turned and made a slight grunt. "No, you're coming with us this time! If you stay, we stay!" she said, making Sonic make a defeated grunt as he unleashed a claw wave to blow them away as they ran out. "There's the Tornado! Let's hurry up!" Tails yelled, hopping in the plane as the others did the same. Sonic hopped on the top and caused the entire plane to glow brightly. By the time the soldiers arrived, the plane had just sprinted off in a ray of flames streaking across the sky. "My god...we lost him..." said Flaere. "This is actually good. He set on the loose again, so he can continue his rise into the ranks. Trust in that when he faces off against me, his time will be up." Aneggm said. "Yes, of course. You possess that beast so...we're still okay." said Flaere as they watched the Tornado fly off into the distance.
As the Tornado neared Station Square, about four minutes later, the flames disappeared and the plane slowed down. "I really don't think it's wise to take him home. They know where he lives, after all..." Tails said. "I know what to do. Tails, fly to my island." Knuckles said, to which Tails followed. On Angel Island, Knuckles told Tails to fly around the back, where a secret warpzone warped them into the Hidden Palace. "Wow, that was unexpected. Why are we here, Knuckles?" Shadow asked. "We can hide him here. No one but me...and you guys now, knows where this place is. It's perfect." Knuckles said. "But what if he goes crazy again? He might destroy everything..." Cosmo said. "You kidding?! I've tried cracking these walls, it ain't possible." Knuckles said, punching a wall to prove his point. As if on cue, Sonic started going crazy, clawing at the wall and generally jumping around. "RRRRRAAAWWWRRR!!! AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!" he yelled. They watched him until he calmed down and layed down, after roughly three minutes of activity. "You guys go, I'll watch over him." Knuckles said. "Okay, thanks a lot Knuckles." Tails said as they got back in the plane. "Thank you Knuckles...I'll be back soon, Sonic..." Cosmo said as the plane took off. She got one last look of sadness from Sonic before they were out. "Now Sonic, if you get cocky and try to fight me, you're going down!" he said, pointing his fist at Sonic who curled up and layed down.
The next day was quite interesting, since a lot of HRG were present in the school. In class, Mr. Rock made an announcement. "Now class, you may have seen the HRG around the school. What they seek is our rising Geosynthesizer, Sonic the Hedgehog. Now, they may have asked you questions and it was told to us that if we know anything, that we should speak up. The entire staff refuses to do so, as shall you. Any student who decides to rat out Sonic will suffer the consequences. If you see a student ready to squeal, report them to me. Is that understood? The last thing this school needs is a group of squealers..." he said, recieving "yes" from everyone. Tryn said nothing, since he wasn't concerned. Suddenly, Tails' cellphone went off. "Umm...Tails, please take it outside the classroom, I'm being mean..." said Mr. Rock. "Umm...I'll go too." said Cosmo as they both went into the hallway. "Knuckles! We're in class, what the hell is it!?" "Tails! He's a goddamn bird!" "Wait, what did you say!?" "You ain't tell me he'd turn into a bird! He's flying all over the place, clawing at the walls and...whoa! He's down!" "Wait, Knuckles! What's wrong with you!?" "I gotta call back, he fell down and ain't moving! Keep together, Sonic!" Knuckles hang up. "Shit...something's wrong with Sonic..." he said, putting away his phone. After school, Tails and Cosmo dashed back to the island and into the warpzone. They saw Knuckles sleeping, but didn't see Sonic. "Knuckles! Where is Sonic?" Tails asked, waking up the echidna. "Geez, can you be louder? Oh, I don't know...somewhere, I guess." he said, still sleepy. "Great, he could be anywhere..." Cosmo said. As if on cue, Sonic came walking in from "somewhere" in his Volthawk form. "Man...my head still hurts a little..." he said. "Well, you have overcome a great deal of stress and power-overload so it makes sense...but you survived, which is impressive." said Epyon. "Yeah, I guess...huh? Oh. hey you guys. Where you been?" Sonic said to the others, surprising Tails and Cosmo. "Yeah, I forgot to mention...he regained control over himself last night...guess all he needed was rest among the sacred emeralds." Knuckles said, falling asleep again. Tails and Cosmo ran over to Sonic who embraced Tails first. "Good to have you back, buddy." Tails said. "Same here, old friend. Same here..." he said, a tear coming out of his eye. Cosmo did the same after Tails let go. "It's really you again...I was so worried...I'm so happy to have you again...Sonic!!" she said as he held her tightly. "I know...I know...It's okay now, though...Like I said...Everything is gonna be alright..." he said, rubbing her back and calming her down. "Knuckles, thanks a lot, but you could've stopped me from banging my head on the walls..." Sonic said, rubbing his head. "Yeah, well not only did I need some entertainment but you got a rock-hard head..." he said, igniting laughter all over the room.
Suddenly, a glow appeared in the center of the room. "Sonic the Hedgehog...you have passed a great trial...you shall recieve a reward for your efforts..." a voice said. A silver bracelet with a horned-horse design on it appeared on his wrist. "Hmm...looks like a unicorn..." Sonic said. "It will activate in due time, be patient..." said the voice. "Oh, okay then. Well Knuckles, I'll see you around. Time to head home, guys!" he said, carrying Cosmo as he flew alongside Tails with his tails back home. "Everything is finally back to the way it was. Thank God..." Cosmo said as they neared the city. "Well, I know I'll see you at school, right Sonic?" Tails said. "Of course! I promise you that!" he said with a thumbs-up. Once Tails flew off, Shadow appeared suddenly. "Welcome back..." he said before walking off. "Uhh...thanks. I guess...man that guy never stays true to his emotions. Oh well, I'm glad to see him too." Sonic said as Shadow disappeared. He ran her over to her house after Shadow's departure. "Thank you, Cosmo." "Huh? What for?" "All of you, your determination was what brought me back. I don't know how I'll be able to thank you enough." "Don't worry about that, come inside with me." "Sure thing." When they got in, Cosmo's mother was already in. "Ahh! Sonic, you've come back okay!" she said. "Yeah, all thanks to my friends and of course your daughter." he told her, making Cosmo blush a bit. "That's wonderful! Well, I'd best be off. The moonlit plants are being planted now and I've got to be there. See you soon, Cosmo." Hertia said as she left the house. "So now what did you...?" he was cut off by Cosmo's lips as she pushed him on the couch. As she kissed him, she got off her dress and rubbed Sonic's chest, exposing his horn. He grabbed her hips and slowly pushed himself into her sweet spot. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed down her chest, keeping a steady rhythm as he did so. "Ahh! Ahh! That's it, Sonic! AHH!" she gasped as his thrusts got harder and harder. She brought his head to her breasts and he began sucking them. ""Yes! Like that!" she yelled to him, which encouraged him to suck harder. He pulled out of her and placed her down. "I want you to feel good too, Cosmo. So I'll try something different." he said as he lifted her from behind. Sonic slowly licked with her anus and across her sweet spot, listening to her light gasps. "Wonderful, Sonic!" she said, enjoying every moment of his movement. When he stopped he set her back down, but now it was her turn. She lightly pushed Sonic onto his back and stared at his blue horn.
She lightly licked at the tip of it, afterwards sucking it at a moderate speed. "Ahh! C...Cosmo...That's good...Ahh!" he screamed out to her as she kept going. She stopped for a moment and squeezed it between her breasts before she sucked at it again. She stopped and got on top of Sonic, holding herself up with her arms as she positioned herself. Once Sonic's horn penetrated again, she moved up and down quickly. "Oh GOD! OH GOD! SONIC! AHH!" she screamed as her rhythm dramatically increased. "COSMO!! AHH!! AHH!!" Sonic screamed as well, reaching and lightly squeezing her breasts as she continued. They stopped and continued in her room, taking the same positions as before. Sonic pulled out of her vagina and went behind her, driving into her behind and grasping her breasts. "AHH! Sonic, so strong! AHH! AHH!" she screamed louder with each thrust. He let go of her in order not to go too far. "Whew...man...okay, let's stop for a second, Cosmo..." he said, catching his breath. "Yeah...okay, Sonic...whew..." she said, sitting next to him as they both caught their breath.
Outside on the docks, a mysterious figure in a white cloak stood, overlooking the sea. Hertia saw this figure on the way and sought to find out who it was. "Umm...excuse me but, who are you? I've never seen you in this city." she asked. The figure turned around and fell into the water, flowing with the current out to sea. It left behind another bracelet, this was gold and had the image of an ethereal creature of some kind. "Hmm...I wonder who that was...and what this is? Perhaps Sonic would know...but he's probably giving my daughter a good time...I'll head back now." she said as she walked under the moonlight back to her home. As for the figure, it floated up until a certain point, standing on the water and walking back to the shore. Then it stood at the dock again, as if waiting for something...
After a few minutes, Sonic and Cosmo caught their breaths and sat for a while. "Sonic, will you still raise your rank?" "Yeah, I've come too far to just throw in the towel. I know that now I've become the most wanted in HRG, but still..." "It's was just so hard...when they took you away...and I couldn't do anything but watch..." "Hey, it's all right. I know that if you could do something, you would. In any case, I wouldn't have been able to bear if they hurt you...so I'm glad that you didn't do anything reckless..." "Will you promise not to be so reckless in your fights to come?" "Sure, I'll be more careful for you." Then they got back on what they were doing before. Down the steps, Hertia saw that the living room was very cleaned up. "Hmm, they did very well. Now, to give this to Sonic and see what it is." she said, walking up the steps and going towards Cosmo's room. Cosmo was bent down as Sonic pushed into her anus, his hands gripping her hips as he did so. "Harder, Sonic! Harder...!" she said and he did so, instilling into her more pleasure. She went over top of him and kissed him deeply, their connection unfaltered as she wrapped her arms around him and thrust at him faster. Then the door opened. "Sonic? I think this is for you." Hertia said, unaffected by the sight before her. "Mother!?" Cosmo said, still holding Sonic. "Ma'am?! Wait...something for me?" he asked as she handed him the bracelet. "Hmmm...it's sort of like the other one I got here..." he showed her the silver one with the unicorn design. He placed on the gold one and looked at them. "Umm...I'm, like, so embarrassed..." he said, his face red. "Oh, don't worry about it. Good night you two." Hertia said, laughing to herself as she walked to her bedroom. After that awkward feeling, she picked up where she left off until the pressure began. Sonic was pushing into her at really high speeds as she thrusts herself at him at the same speed. The combined movement caused pressure within the both of them. "OH SONIC!! IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! OH! OH!" she yelled out. "I FEEL IT TOO, COSMO!! AH! AH! AH...!!" he shouted as it ended. They were both done, Sonic came in her and Cosmo came in him. Even then, their lips remained touching and their connection unsevered.
Later that night, the white figure appeared within Cosmo's bedroom. It looked over and saw Sonic holding Cosmo, who was still on top of him. Slowly, it walked over to them, staring more so at Sonic then at Cosmo. In it's hands was a cylindrical thing with a gem on it. It got close enough to Sonic's body and pushed the item into his hole, a light gasp escaping his mouth. Due to the darkness of the room, he couldn't see who it was but knew it wasn't Hertia or anyone he knew. The figure pushed it in deep, slight tears escaping Sonic's eyes as it did so. It put a finger near it's mouth to signify Sonic to remain silent. Since he didn't know who it was, he decided it was safer for Cosmo's sake not to yell out. It finished it's duty and simply stood there before stopping while looking at Cosmo's back. On her back was something that wasn't there for as long as anyone knew...a Geosynthesis mark that looked like a tree. It stared for a moment before it slowly walked out of the room, keeping it's eyes on Sonic's eyes as it walked. Once it vanished, the true pain of what just happened took it's toll on Sonic as he noticed it. He knew it would be a long night...
