I felt something that I haven't felt in a long time. Warmth... There was some type of cloth over me. I assumed that it was a blanket. I couldn't feel any wounds, it felt amazing! I moaned and smiled. There were suddenly voices around me.

"HEY! He's not dead!"

"Sush, Charmy! He's still resting."

Charmy? Where have I heard that before? Could there be someone... alive?

"But it's so boring." Charmy groaned.

"He will be back to normal soon. I'll give him his powers now."

That voice... It was so soft and gentle. I've never heard it before, but yet, it seems familiar.

Then I felt a strange and uncomfortable feeling. It felt like something was going through my veins and changing my muscles. I didn't feel any pain though. I groaned and tried to shake my head, but I couldn't move. After a few seconds it was over.

My eyes immediately shot open. I tried to sit up, but I was restrained by leather straps.

"What happened!" I said, "Where am I! Why am I restrained!"

I turned my head to the left. There I saw Charmy, Espio, and Sage watching me.

"Did you guys KIDNAPP me!" I said, in hallucination.

"More like, saved your life." Said Espio.

"Sorry Sonic, we have to restrain you in case you went insane." Said Sage, "And it seems like you did..."

I stopped for a moment. That soft voice... That was Sage! That's not like her at all. And she looks a lot different. She used to wear a t-shirt, shorts, and a pair of giant boots. Right now, she's wearing a long white gown and she seems to be glowing.

"Yeah. You mighta hurt us real bad with your new power." Said Charmy.

"New power?" I asked.

"Never mind." Said Charmy.

"Wait, if you guys are alive," I said, "Than is Amy alive?"

Sage turned away from me and put a finger to her chin.

"Amy." She said, "She's a sweet heart."

"Does that mean she's alive?" I asked.

"She's really brave too." She mumbled.

"Where is she?" I asked.

"I do hope she comes back safe and sound." She whispered.

Suddenly, rage pulsed in to me. For some reason, I hated Sage. I haven't been this angry in a long time. I had enough rage to kill. I jumped up and ran to her. I reared my fist back, ready to knock her down at any moment.

"WHERE IS SHE!" I screamed.

My fist flew forward. But it was stopped, by Espios' hand. One hand was holding my fist, the other was holding a chaos spear, just like Shadows'. I was confused.

"How did you?," I started, "How did I?"

I looked behind me to see the straps were cut. Then I looked at my hands. My hands were sharp and metal. They had what seemed to be a buzz saw on the wrist. But when I relaxed, my hands turned back to normal. I gasped.

"Control your temper." Espio threatened.

I wanted to make some remark like, "Still over protective eh?" but I was too bewildered to do so. I just kept on looking at my hands.

"Sonic, awhile ago, Tikal gave me the power to give the deceaseds' powers to the living. I can also sense their feelings whether they're near or far." Said Sage, "You were very enraged with me, weren't you?"

I looked up at her. I realized that she was a very good girl. I felt ashamed of myself. I could have caused her, Espio, and maybe even Charmy great pain. I lowered my head...

After awhile, I changed the subject.

"So, what power do I have?" I asked.

"Metal Sonics'." She answered.

Huh, Metal eh? I wonder if he has other powers. I'll try to think like a robot. A little while later, everything turned red. It surprised me. Then white words appeared on the screen. I suddenly knew everything about the room and everyone in it.

"Woah." I said, "Data collection."

Espio and Charmy gave confused looks at each other and then shrugged it off. Then I remembered my question.

"So, where is Amy anyway?" I asked.

"She's trying to find Blaze." Said Sage.

Sage stopped and put her finger to her chin again.

"Amy's in the Northern Forest." Sage Said, " She close to Blaze."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" I said, "Let's find Amy!"

I think this was the best chapter yet! :)
