By Life Comes Sacrifice
Episode 14
Another Loved One's End
Aiko sat in a prison cell. Her head was resting on the wall farthest from the bars. She brought her head down and rested it on her knees. She looked at the floor. I hope Sonic is okay…
Aiko heard the clanking of someone coming into the detention area. She ignored it. She just continued to think about her worthless life- she didn't care if she died. She wished that she died earlier back when…
"Psst, Aiko…" Aiko looked up and saw Sonic on the other side of the bars.
Aiko stood up and ran over to the bars. "Sonic, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that he was going to hurt you…"
Sonic looked over his shoulder. "Don't worry, I understand…"
Aiko and Sonic heard someone else making their way through the detention area. Sonic dove behind a box and hid. He put his finger to his mouth to signal her to keep quiet. Aiko nodded and pretended to be pacing her cell.
Robo-Sonic came up to Aiko's cell. "Master Robotnik wants to see you…"
Aiko took a glance at Sonic but looked up again at Robo-Sonic. "Okay…"
Robo-Sonic opened the door and Aiko came out, cooperatively. Robo-Sonic put shackles on Aiko and then he walked toward Robotniks 'Throne Room.' Aiko followed closely behind, occasionally looking back to see if Sonic was still keeping close behind.
Aiko walked in and looked up at the chair that Robotnik was sitting in. Aiko wanted to play with him a little. "Nice bedroom you have here…"
"It's a Throne Room!" Eggman bellowed.
Aiko smiled, "Okay, but your sign says Throng Room for Fatties…"
Sonic pulled out a marker and crossed out the 'e' and put a 'g'. He also put 'for fatties' on the sign. He dove behind a box as Robotnik came out and looked at the sign.
Aiko laughed, "I told you!"
Sonic covered his mouth to make himself contain his laughter. He made a snorting sound, and he hoped that no body heard.
Robo-Sonic did though. He turned and turned his hover boots on. He silently rolled out to where Sonic was. Sonic didn't even notice. Robo-Sonic jumped on top of Sonic and tied his hands up too. Robo-Sonic came back into the Throng Room for Fatties with Sonic being pulled behind him.
Robotnik snickered. "We watched you come in Sonic the Hedgehog. Now you will meet the same fate as your little friend Amy…" Robo-Sonic and Robotnik laughed evilly. Sonic felt like he just had a sword stuck through his heart. Aiko tried to catch Sonic's eye, and when she mouthed, "I'm sorry."
Robotnik pulled a sheet off the same laser gun that Amy got shot with. Sonic felt the memories flowing. Painful ones.
Sonic didn't resist while he was put out in front of the gun and Robotnik charged up the weapon. The gun was just about to fire when Aiko made her move. She jumped onto the gun, pushing it up and it shot a hole in the ceiling.
Robotnik pushed Aiko off the gun and she fell to the floor next to Sonic. Aiko stared in horror as a flash of red light came from the gun's barrel. She felt the searing pain in her stomach. Aiko looked down to see blood all around her.
Sonic stared in horror at the blood. The memories kept coming. Flowing like the crimson mess on the floor.
Robotnik cackled in triumph as Aiko reached a shaking hand out to Sonic. As he took it, Sonic couldn't breathe, his heart stopped, and his mouth dried instantly.
