Heavenly joy, Infernal fear
The mad Metarex man ran to the diamond, his hunger for power written all over his face. Zoran laughed at him, but no one else seemed to find the entire thing amusing. But before he could get there, Sonic made it first, but to the metarex's surprise, Sonic was absorbing the power of the crystal, and then in front of everyone's eyes, he had become Super Sonic.
"What?" The evil thing cried. "Impossible! How could this happen to me?"
"Taste your own fear, and I shall watch your last moment with great pleasure!" Sonic said. Then, with a huge ball of fiery energy, he utterly destroyed the Metarex with a single blow.
Everyone else looked upon the scene with silence and fear. Never before had Sonic had so much power, never before had he had that dark look in his eye, and never before had he seem so… sinister.
It was worse when he turned to his friends with the same eye. "You're next!" He cried.
(Back to Tails)
The first thing Tails noticed when he arrived was that he was in a very cold room, with a fountain, and the warpgate behind him. There was also a man (or was it a soul?) sitting on a golden throne. The fountain's water was gold. Everything here was either white, silver, or gold, depicting the heavenly aspect of the place. Several Souls came to greet him, of several species he could recognize, some others he had never seen in his life.
"Welcome to my heavenly world." The soul (or was it a man?) sitting on the golden throne said. "I am the king of these souls, immortal in forever watching and making their eternal stay forever happy." He took a long look at Tails. "You don't look dead to me."
"I've come to resurrect someone." Tails told him. The soul king nodded in understanding.
"I see." He looked at the seed in Tails' hands. "It has been a long time since I've seen a living soul here. They reminded me of you."
"Really?" Tails asked, surprised.
"Yes, the same look on their eyes, the same scars on their heart, the same pieces missing or shattered from it." He stood up and went toward to Tails. "I am personally glad that I play a part in the mending of those pieces."
Joy spilled into Tails face, and his hope soared higher than ever, and tears flowed down his cheeks in his joy. "Give me the half of the soul of that was stored here."
Tails gladly gave it to him, but to his shock, when it touched his hand, it disappeared from his view. "What happened?" He asked fearfully.
The king smiled. "Look closely, young fox." He directed him. "Do you not see silver traces in the air. It is her soul, waving to you silently, unable to speak yet. I warn you now, when it leaves this place it shall be mortal once more, and you may never return to bring it back again."
"There won't be any need to." Tails replied confidently. He could see her now, and her figure, purely silver, portraying innocence. (Is silver not the color of innocence?)
"Now, leave, and enjoy your happiness, protect her, and cherish the life you have brought back."
Tails and the soul (of Cosmo) walked to the portal. Tails smiled happily at it (well, her now.) "Ladies first." He bowed, and Cosmo giggled at him. (Though silently, I might add.)
Little did he know that he had just doomed himself by those very words…
(Back to where we were before…)
Sonic was attacking them furiously, not hesitating despite Amy's pleas, Cream's crying, and Zoran's relentless attacks. "He's too powerful!" Zoran cried. "The diamond's tainted him. It must be destroyed!"
(Elsewhere…)
Knuckles and Rouge looked at the scene. "If only Shadow were here…" Rouge said.
"He's not here; we'll have to do it without him." Knuckles turned to Rouge. "Distract him, and I'll destroy the diamond." He had another diamond in his hand.
"What if it doesn't work?" Rouge asked him.
"Then we are all doomed…"
(Back to Amy, Cream, and Zoran.)
"Sonic, stop!" Amy cried. "You're going to destroy us!"
"Must…. Consume… The living." Sonic said.
Zoran laughed. "You've really lost it, haven't you?"
Sonic pointed at him. "You…. Will…. Die!"
He created a huge fiery dagger shaped attack at him, and Zoran barely evaded it. Cream did not see him move in front of her, and in that very moment, the fiery dagger pierced her deeply in the upper right side of her chest. Zoran caught her before she hit the ground, but she was already dead.
A/N: No! No! No!!!!!!! One more chapter left, let's see what happens…. Poor, poor Cream….
