Flowing Pedals Of Light- Above Who We See
By InuSonishaUnlimited
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. From here, another source will be used from a recent anime I saw and enjoyed, thus I'll say what it is at the start of the chapter.
Chapter 15: Death Pierces The Sky
The words that came from Sonic's lips were not at all what Cosmo wanted to hear from him. "Wha...why would you say that...?" she said, disbelieving what he said. "Eggman appeared before me, whether in spirit form or something, and told me of the dangers of the upcoming beasts. If they enter my body and I can't handle it...it's over for me." he said, looking up still. "Then...then why would you still...?" she asked, tears slightly appearing in her eyes. "To ensure a future for you guys...for everyone. That's why I'm thinking of any regrets I may have...though I've come across one right now. Losing you will be the most painful thing to happen to me...yet if you live...that will be enough for me. I guess I better go..." he said, walking slowly away until Cosmo grabbed his arm. "Huh?...Oh, Comso..." he said, pulling her to him and holding her. "Listen...it's not that bad." he said. "No...it's not okay...at all...no..." she said, holding him even tighter. "My main concern is you, Cosmo. Living on is what I want from you...please try to understand..." "If you go...I want to go with you...please, Sonic..." "To embrace death...I don't want you to do that..." "I don't care!" she shouted, surprising Sonic. "Sonic...we've been through too much...to just separate again would kill me...please, big brother..." she held him as her tears fell down. "Little sis...don't worry. I'll...I'll try to find another way...but if I can't...please prepare for the worst..." he said. She only nodded as he released his grip on her, though hers remained. "Just in case I haven't said it enough...I love you." he said, kissing her deeply as her grip loosened enough for him to step out. "I'll see you tomorrow okay? Have a good night's rest, Cosmo..." he said as he walked off, Cosmo dropping to her knees, covering her eyes with her hands. "If he has to go...If he really dies...what will I...what will I do...?" she said as she slowly got up and walked back home.
The next day was heavy with silence, since some serious testing was going on. Whether it was multiple choice with math, science or whatever, everyone was taking a test. Of course, the technology of the school enabled electronic testing to be done. In between two of the four tests that Sonic and his friends had to take that day, a long period of freedom outside beckoned for them. Tails, Knuckles and Shadow were uncomfortable with the silence between Cosmo and Sonic, assuming that there was something going on. "Uhh...you two okay over there?" Knuckles asked. "Huh? Oh...um...yes, we're fine." Cosmo said. "Yeah...no issues..." Sonic added to that. "There seems to be something wrong since we haven't heard a word from either of you two all day..." Shadow said. "They may be under the weather today..." Tails said. Sonic extended his hand and helped Cosmo up as they walked to the school's flower garden.
"So...did you sleep well last night?" Sonic asked as they sat down. "I had a horrible nightmare..." she said, looking into his gree eyes. "Oh man...it concerned me, didn't it?" "Yes...four entities held you as a giant creature appeared and...oh my god...I can't say it..." she said, burying her face in his chest. "Shh...it's going to be okay...at least, I hope so..." he said, rubbing her back. "So horrible...it...devoured you..." she managed to say in between gasps. "Damn...when it comes to dreams...especially concerning certain people...that can't be good at all..." he said, holding her and looking into her blue eyes. "Hey, leave those tears in there. No need for them to come out." he said with a smile before he wiped them. Suddenly, the sky began glowing yellow again and a strange feeling overtook Sonic. "Hmmm...they're here. They really are in a hurry to finish it..." Sonic said as his body underwent the fiery transformation. "Sonic, please think about this..." she said. "Hey, don't worry. I said I'd find another way...still, prepare for the w..." he was cut off by Cosmo's lips as she grasped his head. He returned the affection and unleashed fiery wings as well. She released his lips and stepped back as he slowly floated upwards. He waved slightly at her as he took off for the center of Turg, where the beast's fang sat. As soon as he was in the air, he looked into her eyes one more time before flying off, Cosmo herself simply watching him go. "Sonic...Sonic...Sonic..." she repeated as she walked back to class. Before she reached the door, she saw Tails flying near her with the Tornado. "Classes were cancelled. Come on! We gotta follow him!" Tails said as Shadow and Knuckles ushered her to board the plane. She did so and they were off. "I'm not going to let you do this by yourself...I can't, Sonic..." she thought as they flew towards Turg.
Flaere had arrived in Turg long before Sonic did and watched the hedgehog land in front of the fang. "Ahh, you decided to show up, I see." he said. "Save it, Flaere. I could feel them...they are near..." Sonic said, looking into the air. "Yes, they will be piercing the sky with the hour..." Flaere said, looking at a watch. "Hmmm...Eggman?" Sonic asked as a large ship appeared above the city. "Sonic! You don't possess nearly the amount of power to do this! Therefore, surrender your body to the beasts to appease them and grant me your powers!" Eggman shouted from a megaphone. "Hmph. No thanks! I'll take care of this! And if you get in my way..." Sonic said, pointing his sword in Eggman's direction. "Heh...just the answer I would have expected from such a stubborn hedgehog...but would you say the same to your friends?" Eggman asked, pointing to the Tornado. "What the?! Tails! Knuckles! Shadow! Cosmo...! No, stay back!!" he shouted, yet the plane continued. "Sonic, look out!!" Flaere shouted but it was too late. High-speed mechanical objects flew at Sonic, latching onto his legs and arms, producing a major shock on the hedgehog. "GGGGRRRRR!! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!! EEEGGGGGMMMMAAANNNNN..." Sonic shouted until he went down, the objects lifting him to the giant ship that Eggman was in. A long steel beam extended from the tip of the ship and the objects connected at the tip, hanging Sonic like bait as the sky began to open up. "You'll handle it, all right. All you needed to do is be the bait...to bring in the beasts! Those beasts will be mine soon! AAAHHHAAAA!!!" Eggman shouted once everything was set.
"Tails! Sonic is caught on that thing!" Knuckles shouted. "I'm aware of that, Knuckles! What to do is the real question!!" Tails said. "Shoot at the tips! They'll bring him down!" Shadow suggested. "Huh? Cosmo, what's wrong?" Tails asked as Cosmo held herself quite tightly. "They'll kill him...I can hear them...they want to kill him...Tails, get in closer..." she asked, scaring everyone a bit. "Wait, you can hear them?!" Shadow asked. "Forget it! I'm getting closer!" Tails shouted as he neared the ship. "Foxy, you aren't getting in the way this time! FIRE!!!" Eggman yelled, unleashing a volley of missiles at the Tornado. "Shit! Hang on...COSMO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Tails shouted as Cosmo opened the window. "Tails...forgive me..." she said as she leapt out towards Sonic's hanging body. "DAMN IT!!" Tails cursed, unleashing firepower on the missles, creating an impressive explosion behind Cosmo as she dived at Sonic. She landed on the beam rather easily, coming face-to-face with Metal. "You...you are...the hedgehog's..." he stuttered due to failure of sufficient repairs. "His beloved...and I'm not leaving him behind...never again..." she said, producing long, thorned vines from her fingertips. "I...I see...you've developed...your Geosynthesis...but you won't save him!!!" Metal yelled, producing a sword and rushing at Cosmo. In one fell swoop, she unleashed a thrusting attack on his arms, legs and chest. "Guh...no...no...AAARRGGGHH!!" he yelled as he blew up, going up in a cloud of smoke. "Very impressive, young girl..." Eggman said, walking towards her. "Huh?" she turned to see him. "So you're his beloved one...he really wanted to be with you...as you want to be with him...right?" he said calmly. "Well...yes, I truly do..." she said. "You know he has to die, yet you want to be together...I can fix that." he said as his hands began glowing. "What do you mean...AAAHHHH!!" she screamed as an intense flame covered her body.
Tails finished taking out the missles and saw Cosmo. "Damn you, Eggman! Hang on, Cosmo!!" he yelled, flying closer until large cannons appeared on the sides of the ship. "Fuck...we can't get too close otherwise we're shitting ducks..." Tails cursed. "Crap, we'll need to provide far cover..." Knuckles said. "I'm just concerned about what he's doing..." Shadow said as he watched the flame. When the flame diminished, Cosmo was out and Eggman looked over her. "I can see why he was so attracted to you...yet it still amuses..." he said as he lifted her body. She breathed heavily, the flames having burned off the vines at her, among other things. "I did say that I would let you two be together...and I shall." he said as another pair of the mechanical binding things attached to Cosmo. "Shit, he'll set her up there just like Sonic! We gotta do something!" Tails said. "What, Tails!? We get close, we'll be in more danger than them!" Knuckles responded. "But still...!?" he was stopped by Shadow. "Both of you, shut up and think." he said, both of them doing just that.
Sonic slowly opened his eyes, aware of his situation only slightly. "Ugh...damn you, Eggman...although I should've been ready for that..The beasts are almost here...what will I...huh!? Cosmo...?" he saw her dead in front of him, unconscious and hurt badly. "Cosmo...Cosmo?!" he shouted now, clearly in a panic. She didn't respond and he couldn't touch her due to the binds. "Cosmo! Come on, wake up! COSMO!!!" he shouted, yet recieved no response. "No...what did he do...Cosmo...damn it...huh?" he said as the sky opened up. Four dark entities appeare from the sky, covered in dark and light auras, the auras in conflict with each other. The beasts spotted the point where Sonic and Cosmo hang and Sonic was in even more in a panic. "Shit, they're here!!...Cosmo, wake up, please! I'm begging you here!" he shouted, her eyes slowly opening. "S...Sonic...I..." she began speaking and noticed the situation. "Shh...it's okay. I'm just glad you're all right. Listen, I'm gonna set you free..." "No..." "Huh? Cosmo, what are you...?" "I'm not going anywhere without you, Sonic!" "Cosmo...okay, then." he said, covering his body with fire as they were both surrounded in it. In a burst of fire, the binds were broken and Sonic held Cosmo in his arms, floating with his fiery wings. "Whoa...they did it!" Tails said. "Well, I'll be damned." Knuckles said. "Now let's see what happens." Shadow said.
Sonic floated in the air as the beasts did the same just ahead. "Here goes everything. Let's do it!" Sonic yelled. "Ready when you are!" Cosmo yelled. He flew straight at the beast, his sword drawn and ready for anythng when he stopped. "This is it, right here." Sonic said. "Here? Why here?" Cosmo asked. "You'll see...here they come!" Sonic said as the beasts came close. "Sonic, what will you do here!?" Alastor yelled. "Watch this! Who says that they need to go into a living body!?" Sonic said as the beast flew straight at them. The sword glowed as they got real close when Sonic pointed the sword straight at them. "Heh heh, here's your order right here!" Sonic yelled as the beasts entered not his body, but his sword. Four symbols appeared on the blade of the sword, making it glow with a light and dark color. "Wow, it really worked!" Cosmo said happily. "I promised that I would find another way! Now there's one more to go!" Sonic said, looking into the sky and witnessing a sight that would be quite terrifying.
The head that appeared from the clouds was very, very big. Like the size of a mansion kind of big. It's snake-like eyes glowed with red light and it's large fangs; missing one; glistened with saliva. In place of it's arms were a large pair of wings from it's large serpent-like body. This was the Beast of Disasters, no known name. "Whoa...so this is the big boy, eh?" Sonic said, raising the sword. "You must realize that the sword won't hold such an immense creature..." Alastor said. "Yeah, but I have another idea. I can bring this one into my body, but I need to weaken it first." Sonic said, lifting Cosmo and carrying her to the Tornado. "Okay, I'm gonna finish this. Cosmo, I'll be right back." "Okay, please be careful..." "No problems." Sonic said before he flew straight at the large beast. He first unleashed a wave of flame and burned a great scar on the chest, recieving a gust of sheering wind, cutting at Sonic's body. "Okay then...open wide, pal!" Sonic yelled flying at the beast and entering it's mouth. "What the hell is he doing...?" Tails asked when he saw that. "I think he has a plan..." Shadow said.
"Time to get started, I guess." Sonic said, swinging his sword just about everywhere, carving at vital organs and the like. The pain from within caused the beast to spew blood with each strike, writhing in pain as Sonic worked. "Now to get out and get this sucker." he said as he flew out of the creature's mouth. They stared at each other, eye-to-eye as Sonic moved close. "Time to come to me, Beast of Disaster!" Sonic said, his chest glowing as the beast glowed. Without resistance, the beast flew into his body, entering and covering Sonic in a light and dark aura. His appearance was a little strange, in that his arms and legs were covered in pruple fur, his quills were pointed upwards and his eyes were red. On his back were the large wings. "Whoa...uhh..." he fell unconscious, his body falling onto the Tornado. He opened his eyes and gave everyone the thumbs-up, recieving the cheers you'd expect. The clouds cleared up and the sun finally came out, casting it's healing gaze all over the city and the world. "Now to finish it." Sonic said, floating and spreading the light all over, repairing damages, healing wounds and reviving the world.
That night he slept soundly, no nightmares or sleepwalking. As he slept, he had the following thoughts: "Heh, that's it right? No way in hell! I got plenty more tips and crazy situations to get into, plus the adventure is far from over. Just you wait and see what crazy shit I can get into soon! It'll blow your mind, or at least leave you a little food for thought. Until then, you all get a good night's sleep." he said as his eyes closed. Outside, a white cloaked figure looked over the house, it's fox eyes glowing and it's nine tails blowing in the wind. "Sonic..." it said as it stood there, unmoved at all...
