Chapter 9- The Finale
The walls of the living room collapsed in a flash of an instant bright red light. The sound itself ruptured the sound barrier. Everybody in the cabin was upright on their feet now.
"We're being bombed" Mighty screamed at the top of his lungs, he ran to the hall and down the stairs to see the damage, but when he reached the stairs there was only rubble and a burning fire spreading across the carpet. Another explosion went off in the dark night lighting blasting the left side of the house, Mighty was blow back into the hall from the impact. Glass and wood shattered, and the doors of the three rooms blew off the hinges. Sonic and Shadow came from almost nowhere it seemed and pulled Mighty up to his feet.
"I need you to alert everybody to leave the area now! Get them to the woods!" Sonic screamed as the fire was spreading across the walls. Mighty nodded and ran up the hall to the undamaged rooms. "Was anybody in those rooms?" they heard a scream coming from Sally's room, and both dashed off.
…
Knuckles awoke under a pile of lumber and glass. His back was bleeding and his ankle was limp. He pulled the debris off from over him and screamed in pain.
"Mina!" he yelled, he looked over his surroundings and wreckage of the room. There were no walls standing just a fire burning loudly. He couldn't hear anything as he felt blood drip from his eardrums. "Mina!" he screamed till his voice gave out. He saw a lock of her hair under a pile of lumber from the cabin. "Mina" he whispered, and pulled the large log off from under her. Her eyes lay half open, and ash and blood covered her face. She gave out a small smile when she saw him still.
"Knuckles" he read her lips and tears rolled down her face as she tried to move.
"Hang in there" he told her, but then he saw the gash on her stomach where the lumber had impaled her. A pool of blood was underneath her white tank top.
"I don't think I'm going to make it" her face was pale, but her eyes still shined like diamonds.
"Yes you are" he did his best to pick her up, but his ankle was broken. Fear filled his face as he realized he wouldn't be able to save her. He put his hands over her wound and held tight. "Don't worry somebody will come, just hang in there" he cried out.
"It's alright Knuckles" she smiled and put her hand on his. The fire had now spread to the ceiling above them. "You already saved me" she said, and put her hand on his chest.
Sonic dashed into the burning room, and went over to the two of them; shock had filled his face as he watched Mina lay there bleeding.
"Take her!" Knuckles yelled.
"She's not going to make it Knuckles" Knuckles handed her to him with persistence.
"Take her" he begged, "she'll make it as long as you cover her wound with both hands.
"Knuckles, I won't be able to help you than"
"I'll be fine, I can manage this myself" he pat his broken ankle. "Just get her to safety now!" Sonic did as he said and was gone in less than a second. Knuckles had relief on his face, and coughed from the smoke. The ceiling cracked above him. He stood up on his one good leg, but the fire had already spread around him. He collapsed backwards into the rubble and blood when a piece of the flaming ceiling collapsed above him. He laid there and screamed as he pulled it off of him, but the flames had crawled closer to him. He panicked and his chest heaved as he breathed quick breaths. He looked out past the flames and saw the huge opening in the wall
…
"Where is Knuckles?" Julie yelled when they were all far away from the mayhem. Sonic rushed back carrying the wounded Mina.
"Take her I have to go back for Knuckles!" he handed her to Julie and Mighty who rested against a tree. "Hold where she is bleeding!" he yelled. "Tails get on her stat" he turned around back to the cabin, but five missiles flew down from Egg Man's airship and obliterated the cabin with a massive BOOM! The cabin was obliterated and Sonic face raged in anger. "Knuckles" he whispered as he broke down from the floor. There was nothing left of the cabin, but a burning crater. Julie's tears poured down her face as she screamed in agony, and Rouge lay in the snow with her hands over her face. Mighty rushed over to the crater with Espio and Mighty. Some followed. Others knew there was no point. He was gone.
