2. Second Meeting
The following morning, a couple of Sonic's friends decided to visit. Knuckles parks his Eclispe in the parking lot and walks out, Cream, Cheese and Amy walking out of the back doors. They've maintained their normal looks, except for minor changes in appearance. Knuckles' dreads are a bit longer, with more unique patterns at the ends, he also has his classic sunglasses on his head. Cream has some small white bows around her ears and Cheese has evolved into a Hero Chao, with the little angel wings and halo above his head. Amy's quills had gotten slightly longer and her red dress has black strips across the front.
"Well, according to Tails, this is the place where Sonic is." Knuckles says, locking his car.
"I wonder if Mr. Sonic is okay?" Cream asks, walking up to the front door.
"Same here. Then again, he should be okay." Amy says, even with a little worry herself.
They enter and are amazed by the internal structure of the building. Suddenly, Amy looks up and sees Super Sonic speed through the tube. She's amazed, if not anxious to see him now, after witnessing such a sight. As they head to the front desk, they get the little "visitor" sticker thingies and are walking down the hallway to Tails' main office. Tails is looking at a book entitled, "UTTER CHAOS" when the door opens with Knuckles and the others walking in.
"Oh, hey everyone. Came to see Sonic? Lucky enough, his helping sessions will occur in a few minutes. Follow me!" he says, walking them back into the hallway to Sonic's area.
"This place is huge, Tails! Did you really build this yourself?" Knuckles asks.
"I designed this place to specifically suit Sonic's personality. Designed it, built it with a lot of help, that's the whole story." Tails responds with a little pride.
"How has Sonic been, Tails? We haven't seen him outside." Cream asks Tails.
"Oh, he's been doing okay. Aside from the whole "permanant Super" problem, at least. He'll be going outside in a while." Tails says.
"How long until we get to the area?" Amy asks.
"Oh, we're here now. Hey Sonic! You got visitors!" Tails yells, the yellow hedgehog dashing downwards and landing in front of everyone.
"Oh, hey guys. Welcome!" Sonic says, waving.
Almost immediately Amy rushes up and hugs the hedgehog tightly, nearly choking him. After she releases him, he smiles at her and looks over to Cream and Cheese. Their smiles bring a light feeling to his heart. Sonic is also amazed at how much they've changed since last he saw them. Knuckles talked about how Eggman dropped robots on the Floating Island and how Knuckles beat them single-handedly. Sonic enjoyed Knuckles' stories, exaggerated or otherwise. After a few minutes, Tails came back around to see his friends.
"Well, thank you all for coming. It was great seeing you all again." Super Sonic says.
"Great seeing you two, Mr. Sonic. Will we see you outside?" Cream asks.
"Of course you will. You know I don't stay inside all day long. Makes me crazy." Sonic says.
"Well, I gotta get back to the Island. See you around, Sonic." Knuckles said, walking out with Cream and Cheese.
"Sonic, I'll talk to you later, okay? Good luck." Amy says before walking out.
After Knuckles pulls out, Marina zooms in and parks easily. She walks in and waves to everyone while maing her way to Tails' office. Once there, she sits down and pulls out the file she read last night, almost sorry to return it. Tails walks in and sits down, looking over some things before he looks to Marina.
"Ah, you brought it back! You didn't need to, I got copies. Did you want to keep it?" he asks her.
"I'd like that. I might be able to add some things." she says.
"Oh, all right then. Well, we'd better get started. Hey Strongarm, can you escort Marina to Sonic's area?" Tails asks.
"Sure thing, man. Let's go, Marina." he says, walking with her.
They reach the area quickly and watch as Sonic dashes in and looks out the window. Before she goes in, Strongarm takes the opportunity to tell Marina about the four other helpers that tried to help Sonic. This doesn' break her confidence, however. Marina nods to Strongarm and swipes her ID on a panel near the door, opening it and entering the room. She sits down and makes no noise, surprising Sonic when he turns around.
"Wow, you're pretty sneaky." Sonic says jokingly.
"Heh, I guess I am. I read your personal file." Marina responds.
"Cool, makes it easier now that you know about me better." he says.
"Yes, it was quite a read. Countless pages of adventures, personal info and things I probably wouldn't have guessed about you. I still don't know how it glow, however. Anyway, let's begin by diving into what caused this. I read in the file that a combination of your anger and fear caused this weird transformation problem of yours. I'd like you to look into these emotions of yours and tell me why you feel these strong emotions." she says.
"Okay, well...my anger would be pointed towards Eggman. He was williing to hurt a young, innocent child in order to get the power he desired. That act of selfishness was low, even for him. That's what made me so angry, I guess. My fear was actually pointed with two things. I was afraid of what might've happened to the child when I fell in the water and uhh...the other on would be my fear of water, since I can't swim. That about sums it up, those were the emotions that caused this to happen to me." Sonic finishes.
"Perfect, that was a good start. Now then, here's what we're gonna do. I was told about the methods used before to help you out, but I'm gonna try something different. Instead of mental exercises and stuff like that, we're going to be more physical and simple." she tells him.
"Simple...I like simple. Let's do it." Sonic responds, glad for the change of pace.
"Okay, the first thing I want you to do is imagine the most relaxing spot you could go to. Imagine being in that spot, the warm sun rays slowly cooking your body as you relax in the afternoon-heated grass of a wild field. Also, imagine the most relaxing song you can, slowly passing by your line of hearing, soothing your soul with it's docile tunes." she says, somewhat getting sleepy herself.
"Most...relaxing...spot...relaxing tune..."yawn"...man...that hits the spot..." Sonic says, feeling the power of the relaxing thoughts.
To add to the relaxing process, Marina slowly rubs her hands around his neck and shoulders, making the golden hedgehog even more calm. The anger and fear within him seems to dull down as he can no longer withstand the relaxing feel. As this goes on, his body color goes from gold to dark yellow to blue. The blue lasts for a few seconds before the gold light returns. The transition in color goes on for some time before the exercise is complete, resulting in a more relaxed Super Sonic.
"yawn...Well, we didn't get you back to normal completely, but we made some progress!" Marina exclaims proudly.
"Yeah, you're really good. How'd you learn to be able to relax people so flawlessly?" Sonic asks.
"Well...I'm not that good...am I?" she asks, somewhat embarassed.
"Of course you are. Even though I couldn't see it, I felt the chaotic energy calming itself. That means you are the perfect person!" Sonic says.
"Aww, that's so sweet of you! Actually, I wasn't too sure if that would work. Hmm, there is something else I wanted to try. Okay, can you tell me of a time of great impact on you personally?" she asks him, noticing the slight look of apprehension on his face.
"...It was my fault. I could never forget it..." Sonic says, looking back at Marina as he told his story.
Sonic's Story
It was a dark day in my life as Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and I were engaging in combat against Eggman and a large group of robots. He had a giant robot with missle launchers and vulcan guns along three barrel-like parts surrounding a central pod, where he commanded the thing. It was a tough fight and we were doing really well, smashing all the robots up. At least, until a little boy and his mother ran on the scene. The mother was trying to get the boy away after he threw his ball in this direction.
The boy is roughly four years old and the mother is around thirty. His ball bounced right in front of Eggman's robot, the boy having no idea what danger he was in. The woman pleaded to the evil doctor bot to do anything, but he only saw a perfect target. Sonic turns and his eyes go blank, very fearful as to what could happen to them. Eggman moves his hand toward a button, ready to totally destroy them.
Eggman turned and saw this, loading up a missle targeted at the two. I turned and tried to get there, but it was too late. The missle blew them both to smithereens, leaving nothing left. I was devastated, unable to accept what happened. I guess that's when Eggman began committing horrible acts or brutality against innocent people. There was no funeral service, only a small memorial was made for them. I couldn't believe it.
Sonic stood over the small memorial, unable to contain the sadness he felt. In truth, he couldn't have done anything even if he tried. He couldn't accept that excuse, cursing Eggman for taking their lives. He promises himself that he will never let another life be lost to Eggman. As he walks out, he looks over and sees the spirits floating to the skies, smiling at the hedgehog. That didn't make him feel any better, however.
End Sonic's Story
Marina, to say the least, was speechless. Hearing such a story made her feel down, understanding Sonic's feelings on the issue. She felt a tear come down her eye after Sonic finished. After a minute of silence, Sonic sighed and renewed himself.
"Well, that's my grand moment. I've learned from my mistake and will never allow anyone to get hurt again. I promise you that." he says.
"I believe you, really. That must've been really rough for you." she says.
"Yeah, but it's in the past. That's how I feel on the subject. So, what about you? Did anything really bad happen in your life that you'd never forget?" he asks her, a similar apprehensive look appearing on her face.
"Actually...yes. It's the reason I live in this city now..." she starts, looking intently at Sonic as she tells her personal story.
Marina's Story
I didn't always live in Station Square. I used to live with my real parents in a city that I refuse to remember. This was about two years ago, I was fourteen when this particular incident happened. It was a beautiful day outside, as the sun was setting, and I was on my way home from a day of fun with my friends.
The city that Marina was born in is a beautiful city with clear streets, water rushing beneath the street for people to see. Cars looked like boats that floated in the air and buildings had really wacky shapes and sizes. The city is known as HighMarine, a harbor-like city known for its creative look. However, like most cities, HighMarine had a dark side. The city was known for very little killings or robberies, but it was well known for a large number of rape cases.
As I turned a corner, less than two streets away from my home, someone grabbed me. I couldn't scream, since my mouth was covered by a hand. Whoever it was, he had a helper that lifted me by my legs and took me to an open area near a playground that I was familiar with. No one was around at this time of night, so they stopped their and looked at me, my fear for what would happen rising.
Anxious eyes looked over Marina as they charged at her, one of them burying their face in her chest and the other one held her from behind. In one fell swoop, they ripped off her clothing, hungrily looking at her naked form before them. One charged at her and bent her down, placing her upside down with her back to his chest. He forced her legs open and held them as such as he licked at her anus rapidly, ignoring her cries for him to stop. As he did so, the other one pushed his penis into her mouth, pushing in and out of her.
I couldn't do anything while they did it. I felt absolute pain all over my body, heat rising within me. Tears came down my eyes as they went on until they suddenly stopped. I wondered why, but also prayed it was over. They stood me upright and plunged themselves into my vagina and anus. I screamed loudly after that, pain seering with each thrust they made on me. After what seemed like a long time, I blanked out.
The men who raped her left her where they did the deed after they were done. She laid there, her eyes blank of any emotion, for some time. Eventually, a police officer came by and called for an ambulance to help her. Her parents showed no real concern, saying only that it would show her not to be outside late at night. About a day after, the men who raped her were identified and arrested, ironically after raping another woman. Even with that said, Marina had enough and decided to leave the city forever. Her current parents took her to Station Square, where she's lived ever since.
End Marina's Story
"Damn...that's horrible..." Sonic said, just as speechless as Marina after he told his story.
"I was so glad that I left that horrible place...and I've been more careful since then. Not to the point of paranoia, though." she clarified.
"Well, I...I really don't know what to say...except that I hope my presence doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, Marina." Sonic says.
"Of course not, Sonic. Your presence actually makes me feel...protected." Marina says, smiling at the hedgehog.
"Well, I guess that's it. Better call it done for today." Sonic says.
"Really? It seems like these sessions end whenever we get a lot of progress done..." Marina says.
As she gets up and walks over to the door, she looks at Sonic. He smiles at her and gets up, walking towards her. Unexpectedly, he gives her a hug, a reaction that Marina wasn't ready for. She returns the embrace, enjoying the feel of his warm, glowing body. He ceases the embraces and places his hands on her shoulders, looking into her eyes. She finds herself unable to look away from the red eyes before her.
"You don't need to feel constricted by these sessions. You can talk to me at anytime. Okay?" he says.
"Umm...yes, of course. Thank you, Sonic! See you tomorrow!" she says happily.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow." he says, taking his hands off her shoulders and giving her one last smile before he dashed away.
"Whoa...that was totally unexpected...careful now, Marina, you may end up falling for your patient! Ha ha ha...heh." she tells herself as she walks out.
-So, there's some progress going on, as well as something else. We'll continue on the next one, 'kay?
