"Damn Resistance!" I said as I ran down the street. Aphrodite and Boomer were behind me. I turned around to face the small hedgehog. "I'm sorry we never got to look for your dad…" She held up a hand.
"It's fine. I can find him any other day, but we can't get rid of the resistance any day. Alright here, take this." She looked to Boomer, who nodded and gave me a scouter. "We'll find the resistance, you run up to the E.C and we'll tell you the best attack plan." She waited for me to respond somehow. I just stood there. "Uh, Go!" She waved her hands sideways. I saluted and ran off. I was getting warmer, but not entirely flamed.
After a couple of bouncing off buildings, I got up to the Egg Crate. I opened the hatch with skilled fingers and stepped in. I started looking around for the laser coordinate room. Let's see, I thought to myself as I looked at the gold plaques on the doors. Bomb room, escape room, the…Lady Gaga room? What the hell, Eggman! I shook my head and kept looking. I saw one door open. I was guessing that was it. Who went in there? Eggman's lucky if he knows what shoe goes on what foot.
It was a pink hedgehog, wait scratch that. It was the pink hedgehog. The one I saved the one that was in the resistance. She was the one that I saw hugging the blue hedgehog. I felt anger rising in me, but not because of the 1st reason. She turned around and widened her emerald eyes. She backed up. She thought I was going to hurt her?
"You're scared of me? You're the one that's ruining Eggman's plans for peace. The city should be scared of you!" She blinked aimlessly. The she had a confused look on her face.
"You don't understand…Is that what Eggman's told you?" She put her hand to her chest mockingly. "Just look out the window." She gently took my hand into her soft, gloved one. I felt blood rushing in my cheeks. I looked at the glass surface and couldn't believe my eyes.
Eggman was terriozing the city. There was a party going on. I looked at her.
"That's my children's party." I was furious. Kids, Eggman, have you stooped that low so soon? I let go of her and let the rage fill me. The flames went to the tips of my quills, and then went to my full body. It engulfed me in my raging fire.
She stared at me in disbelief. "It's you." Her eyes got slightly watery at the rims. "You kept me here today. You have no idea how thankful I am." I felt another feeling in my heart, but not a familiar feeling. It was as if I was talking to Aphrodite. I cooled down with calmness coursing through my veins.
"What…What is this feeling?" I said, pointing to my chest.
"That," she said reassuringly as she walked over to me. "Is care." She looked up at me and never said anything. She was fixed in a gaze. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "I should probably get down there."
"Let me take you." I scooped her up like I did when we met. I ran towards the escape hatch. Eggman was probably still sleeping. I kicked the hatch open with my foot with a simple kick and jumped on the roof of a building. The sky was toned down from its bright blue. It was a more natural hue.
I saw Aphrodite sitting next to a maroon shaded echidna. I had no idea who he was, but he seemed friendly. I set the hedgehog I was carrying moments ago. She started walking towards the wreckage. She stopped and turned around.
"It's Amy," She said with a smile. I realized I never told her mine.
"Ember." I had no emotion in that what-so-ever. Aphrodite looked up at the mention of my name. She quickly approached where I was standing. She gave a quick glance at Amy, looked back at me, and smiled.
"You two are inseparable," she whispered. She went to normal tone. "They told me what has been going on. That little-"
"Yeah, little." She was talking about Eggman.
"That fat liar!" She was fuming. I placed my hands on her shoulders, and she calmed.
"Well, Boomer and that fox, Tails." She pointed over to the armadillo and fox. "Are working on a tool to defeat Eggman. We need to go back up there," she pointed to the sky. "To get all the information we can." I nodded with a smirk on my face.
"Alright," I looked over her and saw Amy with the blue hedgehog with his arm around her. He was walking over while whispering something in her ear. She whispered back and he nodded. He was holding out his hand.
"Hey, Ember. My name's Sonic. No hard feelings, right?" I nodded and never returned the gesture. He awkwardly put his hand to his side.
"I'm going back up to the Egg Crate." Sonic nodded and I started walking. I heard small footsteps behind me. "Alone, Aphrodite." She stopped. Without looking, I knew she had a concerned look on her face. I had some unfinished business to do.
Yay! I got the section fixed! So you may have noticed Sonic doesn't get a POV. By the way it's going, Aphrodite will be getting 2 chapters, and those are going to be really dramatic chapters. Also, Ember's getting another POV next. I need some reviews and more visits!
