Chapter 3
Zero's POV:
I get up, immediately check my legs and see that they have healed considerably since I had last seen them, they now had the necessary muscles to stand and walk, the skin had started to cover the muscles and blood was starting to pump slowly into the wound, I look around and notice that Amy was not in the room, so I limp outside and look at the scenery of the edge of a city like area hidden in the … leafsticks? … Somehow it just didn't fit; maybe it was something else … like- suddenly another voice seemed to start talking in my head
'Gah what is wrong with you those are called Trees, Trees how is that not obvi-' and just as suddenly as it had started it ended. Well yes that does fit ... anyway it's time to look for Amy. I start walking along the wooden path that led to the ground, trip and start rolling down instead.
When I reach the bottom I stand up and look around to see that I was indeed on the dirt path, I also see a blue hedgehog speeding along the path towards me I start to limp away but only manage to get hit by it and go flying into the air and into the top of another tree. I get up and try to find a way down without jumping but can find no other way so I just let myself drop from the tree and start to panic as I feel the air whistle past my ears and in a burst of energy my instincts kick in and I slow my decent by releasing a jet fire from my hands towards the ground.
Just before my feet touch the ground my right arm spasms, the fire coats my legs, I drop the last two metres and I stand up without even wincing as there was no pain left from the fight with Eggman and the fire never even hurt. I look down at my legs and realize that my wounds were completely healed, not even a scar left. I look up and spot the blue hedgehog standing a few metres from where he hit me and walk back over and ask "Hey I'm Zero and your name is?"
Sonic looks at me strangely and replies "Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog … you're the hedgehog from the forest right?"
"… Yes I think so" I reply awkwardly. We stand in silence for a moment as I try to figure out how to throw fire out of my hands like before, then Sonic interrupts my thoughts by saying "Well I'm going to the FF HQ … see ya" as he runs past me. I walk back to Amy's house wondering if FF means Freedom Fighters, open the door and sit on the elongated chair. I'm about to doze off when I hear a scream, I run out the door, which I had forgotten to close, and search for the person who had screamed but I see no-one so I start to walk down the road the way Sonic had come.
A few moments later I hear the scream again but this time I could distinguish what they were saying "SONIC!" I run towards the ear piercing shouts as I hear a loud boom my blood starts to pump faster, my fur lightens in colour with a tinge of orange and my speed increases. I reach the point where the screams had come from to find Sonic on the ground sweat dripping from his forehead and an unconscious Amy in a robot's arms. Sonic crouches and starts spinning towards the robot but it sidesteps so fast my eyes only comprehend it after the robot had then punched Sonic in the gut dropping him onto his hands and knees.
As I watch my anger slowly escalates to a point the area around me sets on fire, the robot looks over at me and shoots one of those tube things at me which I barely dodge and it hits the ground next to me causing it to explode and sends me flying into a tree, 'man why does this keep happening?', I drop onto the ground and stand up, 'good thing it didn't send me up into the … bit with the leaves'
'They're called branches you st-' once again it gets cut off in mid-sentence as I turn back to the fight to see another tube thing right in front of my face and it explodes sending me skidding along the ground. I get up and watch as Sonic jumps and curls into a ball and spins at the robot (homing attack) which blocks the attack with its left hand (it's right is holding Amy) and pushes him back and I try to form a ball of fire but only succeed in creating a few sparks.
Sonic speeds up to the robot but it simply dodges and fire comes out of its back and it starts flying up just as I manage to form a ball of fire which I launch at the fire on the robots back. As the ball hits the robot it grows larger from the fire coming out of its back and the robot falls back to the ground all the while the ball is getting larger and the metal is turning red at the contact, Sonic runs in and grabs Amy pulling her away from the now glowing robot. I walk out of the burning bush and put my hand on the huge fire ball that was melting the robot and it swirls around me and sinks into my fur causing it to become even lighter than before.
I look over at Sonic and ask "Will she be alright?"
"Yeah she'll be fine after we get her back to the FF HQ" He replies
"We?"
"Well … yeah you have to meet the rest of the Freedom Fighters" Sonic walks past me and back towards the city just as a White humanoid animal with crimson tips on his quills that looked kind of like a hedgehog crossed with another species runs into the clearing the fire had made and punches Sonic in the face and then runs at me, I concentrate on making a fire ball but don't have enough time as I am launched three metres into the air and land on my back as my fur darkens slightly. I get up and look over at the hedgehog hybrid and notice he was already on fire 'Well that's odd' I look down at my fur and see flames flickering through the fur. I lift my head and watch as the white animal stands and looks at his fur that was now partly black from the fire and he looks up at me.
"Well this is inconvenient … now let the girl go you can't just kidnap people" He yells at Sonic and me.
"Umm … we aren't kidnapping her we're just going to get her some help" I reply as I follow Sonic out of the clearing.
We arrive at the city about 2 minutes later and head straight through it to a, taller … no, longer building then the rest of the ones in the city. Sonic and I walk in and he puts Amy on what seems to be some kind of chair but flat and had only one of those fluffy white things (It's a pillow if you couldn't tell) which he put her head on. I look around the room and notice that there are others in here as well.
I look back down at Amy trying to ignore the fox, rabbit, echidnas, Lynx, duck and the coyote lying on another bed bleeding slowly until it gets unbearable and I walk over to see if I could somehow help the coyote. When I reach the bed and get a good view I realize he's losing too much blood, if he was going to survive he would have to stop bleeding and I think I have the solution. I squeeze in between the duck and the crying rabbit and put my hand on the coyote causing the wound to instantly blister and seal over … ish (he seared the wound).
This earns me a punch in the face by the rabbit next to me and everyone else yelling at me, except for the duck that is, as I hit the ground. I sit up and dodge her next punch and she points her right arm at my head and says "I'm gonna … ah right no longer robotic" and puts her hand down and kicks me instead. I get up and jump back to the coyote and finish the sealing of the wound by willing my fire to heal him. Gold fire spreads over his body and the wound disappears except for a small circular scar in the centre of where it had been.
The Rabbit then grabs my arms and pushes me away from the coyote and stares him as he comes to and he winces at what seems to be nothing which peaks my curiosity so I walk up and ask him "Do you feel any pain at all?"
"Oui I am bleeding non?" he asks
"Um … no you're not I just got rid of that" I reply
"But that is not possible … it still hurts … and burns" I rub my neck awkwardly
"Um … well this is awkward I'll leave you to figure out how long the pain will last … bye now" I say as I try to get past the rabbit while slowly extinguishing the gold fire on my fur. She grabs my arm to pull me back (with her left hand) and the gold fire spreads over her arm and covers her body slowly turning her right arm robotic.
The rabbit lets go of my arm in shock and grabs her now robotic arm and stares at it with an odd expression on her face. I take my chance to run outside and run into the Hybrid and get thrown back into the building, through the wall this time, and land next to Amy.
Just thought I'd update the chapter
