I hope you will enjoy.
Chapter 6: Getting out.
The fight started with Sonic's first move. He simply penetrated Agony's defenses, and run up in one of her arms to kick her antler.
"And you would be the strongest?" Sonic asked while he landed on his feet right next to me.
"Let's see how can you fight without air in your lungs." She replied, and sonic started choking.
"No! You can't-!" I heard Blaze's voice from behind us, and soon I saw a dark green thing rushing the monster. It moved fast, and cut down 3 arms of Agony. She screamed in pain, and sonic started to breath in a lungful of air.
"You really thought that I'm letting you two fight all by yourself?" The green creature asked, who I registered to be David.
"If you die because of this, we will be in big trouble." I said, but also smiled on him.
"What do you think, what have I done while you levitated me everywhere? I gathered all my strength."
"Nice to see you still standing" Sonic said with a smile of his own.
"You can still stand?" Agony asked "Impressive, but it shall not change a thing." During this small chit-chat I gathered small rocks above Agony's head, and united them into a large bolder.
"We'll see about that." David said, and winked at me.
I motioned to look up, and when she did, the bolder crashed right into her antler.
"All right, that's hurt, you mortal rats, I will kill you all!" She said in pain, and I felt the air leaving my lungs.
This time I saw a fireball coming from behind us, and making a direct hit on Agony's weakspot.
I felt air finally rushing back into my lungs, and I tried to catch my breath.
"If you think you can hurt my Silver, then you are dead wrong." She said and helped me up.
"Four against one? Maybe there will be some excitement in this battle after all."
Blaze and I formed a team, and David joined Sonic to divide the monster's attention. They took the right flank, while we took the left. Agony was good at defending herself, but Blaze and I fought so many times together, that we know what the other will do, even before we would think about it.
We easily getting trough the rushing wind, and the strikes of agony, and hitting that antler with every attack. Sonic and David are starting to finally understand each other's small gestures, and they are finally moving in sync.
"Do you really think you can defeat me, don't you?" Agony asked pausing the fight for some time. We can see that she is in bad shape.
"Look at yourself. It don't have to end like this." Sonic said. "Surrender, and give our friends back what belong to them."
"Never! These are now belong to me!" She said and showed us the Life essences.
"NOW!" David screamed, and sonic just turned into supersonic speed. He grabbed the two small balls, and rushed to Tails and Shadow.
"NO!" Agony screamed and launched attacks to stop him. I quickly jumped in the way, and used my powers to stop them before any of her attacks would reach Sonic, while Blaze and David countered to don't let her time to launch an another series of them.
From the corner of my eyes I saw Sonic reaching Tails and Shadow, and gave them their life essences. Soon They all joined us in the field of battle.
"Are you ready guys?" Sonic asked
"As always!" Tails said, and shadow nodded
"Then let's do this!"
I concentrated, and soon I felt the crimson red energy cycling trough my body once again, and when I opened my eyes I was crimson red again. I turned around to face Sonic and Shadow and asked:
"What are you waiting for?" I didn't had to wait long, because soon they activated their powers what they got from the god of life.
The tide of the battle changed drastically, and now Agony was barely able to keep the pace with us. She was cornered by us, and scared.
"NO!" She screamed after sonic successfully delivered a punch into her antler for the hundredth time. "It can't end... like... this" Her figure started to disappear in front of our eyes. It was over.
She collapsed into the ground, and took a form much like what I saw from chaos, and the seven Chaos Emerald appeared on the ground next to her.
"I will take these, thank you." I said, and took the Emeralds.
"Come on, sister." We heard Rage's voice, and he appeared in the same way next to Agony.
"I thought you were dead!" I said to him
"No. I just..." He said, but his voice trailed off. "Sister, they won fair, and square. We shall never achieve what our father waiting from us."
"But Rage, what else could we do?" Agony asked, and we saw tears coming from her eyes.
"Easy, join us." Sonic said, and we all looked at him in shock, especially Tails and Shadow. "You wouldn't be the first enemies who would become our friend in the end. " He continued.
"How could you forgive us this quickly?" Agony asked there is no doubt she was surprised
"The past is in the past. I live for the present." Sonic said, and held out his hand to help up Agony.
"I don't think this would be a good idea, Sonic" I said
"He's right, Silver." Shadow said. "I remember how I treated Mephiles when he turned to our side, and in the end we fought side by side, like we would be friends from the very beginning. Everyone deserve a second chance." I let his words sink in, and then I nodded.
"Maybe you're right." I said, and walked to Agony, who was still sitting on the ground, staring at Sonic's hand
"Would you finally take my hand?" He asked agony, who finally coming out of the shock accepted his help, and stood up.
"So you said our brother, Chaos is with you?" Rage asked.
"Yeah, but he is a spirit. I'm not sure if you will see him, or Tikal at the first place."
Rage and Agony looked at each other confused. "In this form of us, we are spirits too." Agony said.
"But I see you." David said with confusion.
"Well, to be honest, we had to give you some power to bring you all here, so you will see spirits from now on... I think." Rage said, and scratched the back of his head.
"Rage! We agreed that we shall not tell them!" Agony said to Rage with offended voice
"Face it sis, we have to be honest with them. They worth it."
"Couldn't we get out of here, and talk after?" David asked, and I saw he is barely able to stand, even with Blaze supporting him again.
"You are right." Rage said "But it would take all of our powers to get back." He said
"I can do it on my own, thanks." David replied harshly, clearly not trusting them.
"Yeah, that is a trap me and my sis prepared for you. If you would decide to leave your friends behind, you could break out from the frozen time, but would be imprisoned into this dimension until you die, and we would reach our goal one way or another."
"Clever move." Tails said "And I asked them to leave me behind." he mumbled under his breath
"All right, it's time to get out of here." Sonic said.
"Take my hand, mortal." Agony said to David. I noticed that her voice was much nicer than before. Just like she would be a completely different person.
"I have a name too." He replied taking her hand.
"And what would that be?" She asked nicely.
"David. David the Tiger."
"All right, David. Now concentrate on breaking out, while me, and my brother will get us back to where you were before we brought you here." She said, and Rage grabbed her other hand.
They all closed their eyes, and we saw the darkness closing in around us. And when we didn't saw a thing, then suddenly white light appeared and I had to close and cover my eyes. When I opened them I saw the city of Soleana before me, and something I almost forgot. The earth element, Desperate, or whatever he was called.
"Despair, brother you can stand down." Rage said, and Despair looked down.
"You were weak, weren't you?" His voice was grumpy, and scratchy. To his question both Agony, and Raged looked away in shame.
"They just got an alternate option" Sonic said.
"Guys, we have to get David out of here." Blaze said, and when I turned to her, I saw David covered in blood, what was rushing out of his mouth.
"The way out was too much for him!" I was scared. I could hardly think. All I could do was stare at him, while he was dying.
"Silver and I will bring him back." Shadow said.
"But wouldn't you be faster alone?" I asked him
"But I wouldn't be able to bring him smoothly. Just jump on my back, and levitate him and Tails, while I run back with you."
"Why Tails?" I asked confused I still couldn't think clean from the shock.
"He is the only one who can save his life, but even he needs his lab to do so! Now hurry up!" He yelled, and I jumped on his back, while grabbing Tails and David with my psychokinesis.
As soon as we arrived into Tails' lab I put Tails on the ground, and David onto one of the test benches.
"The guys here will help me with this. Go back to the battle." Tails said, and rushed to the alarm button. He built in one if one of his experiments would go wrong.
Maybe he was a mechanic, and not a doctor, but with his machines he had the best chance to save David's life.
"Silver, jump!" Shadow said, and I jumped on his back again, and he rushed back to the battlefield with me.
That's it. I hope you enjoyed.
