Chapter 4 Slight Depression
Sonic growled as he ran his eyes shining blood red, he had never been so angry. He shined brightly as he changed and switched to fours. ' you can't run from your problems you know' "Shut up" Sonic hissed 'that's all you do is run when are you gonna stop' " I said SHUT UP!" Sonic shouted speaking to know one.
"Great now I'm talking to myself" Sonic mumbled. Slowly he trotted and came to a stop at a large tree his tounge lolling as he panted. "Great now where am I" Sonic said looking around. "Uhh now I'm lost" Sonic said laying between the roots of the tree 'I'm such a fool, so much for the hero of mobius' Sonic thought "mom why did you have to go" Sonic whispered sighing as he closed his eyes.
"Oh Sonic your not a fool" Sonic's eyes shot open as he held his head up "you are just...lost" Sonic got up and whirled around looking for the strange voice "who's there?" He called "who are you?" "Oh Sonic you've grown so much and yet there are things you still don't know" Sonic whirled around as something brushed his ear.
"Show yourself!" Sonic shouted getting into a four legged battle stance. Sonic listened, his ears rotating as he picked up strange noises. It sounded like whispering of some sort, but he couldn't understand them. His eyes darted as something blue and sparkly flashed by, it spun around him as if playing a game of ring around the rosy.
It stopped few inches from his face and started to take the form of a hedgehog. She was pink just like Amy, her quills hanged long over her shoulders each having a cobalt blue stripe running down the middle, she wore a short purple dress with white gloves,and her eyes were a bright green like Sonic's.
She leaned closer meeting eye to eye with him. "My have you grown into such a handsome young man" she said becoming solid. Sonic's eyes widened as he smiled and wrapped her in a hug crying on her shoulder.
"Sonic my son I've missed you so much" Ames said shedding a tear herself and pushing him off to see his face. "You've changed since I last saw you" Ames said tilting head and touching a gloved finger to Sonic's protruding fang.
"What happened to you" she asked Sonic sat down on his haunches and moved her hand "Its a long story mom" He said Ames smiled and stood up "well come on there's so much to be done but so little time" she said turning back to a ghostly blue color.
Ames continued deeper into the forest as Sonic trotted by her side tails waving gently. "Where are we going" Sonic asked "you'll see soon, we need your help" Ames said her expression changing into a sad concerned as the forest started to thin.
"Help?" Sonic questioned confused Ames didn't answer. As they walked the forest became thinner and thinner until it opened up into a huge meadow full of flower buds. The moon was full and it shown bright. As Sonic passed by each flower bloomed.
"Whats with these it's night flowers aren't supposed to bloom" Sonic said confused Ames chuckled and stopped. "There Moonflowers Sonic they only bloom at night" "oh my mistake" Sonic said turning his head embarrassed.
"Its alright we're here anyway" Ames said standing in front of a very large willow tree. "Umm where is here exactly" Sonic asked looking around, without answering Ames hands shined as she wiped them through the air making a doorway.
She stood to the side and waved him over. Sonic carefully crept over and walked inside Ames following. "Welcome to the Moon Realm" Ames said Sonic's eyes widened in amazement. This place was filled with trees and flowers of different colors, there were hedgehogs and bats alike walking with each other, and top it all off a huge waterfall and river in the center.
"Woah" Sonic said completely at a lost for words. Ames chuckled and hurriedly walked past "come on Sonic the realm leader is waiting for us" she said Sonic galloped beside her keeping up the pace with ease.
Soon they reached a building carved with different similes on the surface. Ames stopped and turned to Sonic "wait here ill be back" she said And disappeared inside. Sonic sat down and ran his hands on the wall feeling every curve and wave of each symbol the one that appealed to him the most was a symbol in the shape of a blur.
Ames poked her head out and waved Sonic over. Sonic took one more look before going inside "welcome Sonic" a familiar voice said Sonic looked up at the tall thrown and was surprised to see "Tikal?!" Sonic said shocked at seeing the sandy colored echidna. "Wow I haven't seen you in a while how's it been" Sonic asked sitting down "okay I guess" Tikal answered smiling slightly but it soon disappeared "Sonic we are in need of a new guardian and the citizens and I have agreed it should be you"
Sonic nearly fell backwards at Tikal's words "me! What happened to your previous leader?" Sonic asked confused. Tikal flicked her eyes then it clicked "mom you were the previous guardian" Sonic asked turning towards her Ames solemnly nodded her head.
"But how" Sonic asked "Sonic when a person passes from your realm they live on here" Ames explained seeing her son's confused expression "So Knuckles's kind are here too" Sonic asked Ames nodded Which is why we need you Sonic" Tikal said walking down from the thrown. "Come with me" Sonic followed trotting at a decent pace.
"Our realms in danger Sonic" Tikal said stopping at the river Sonic sat down again and looked up at her "we fear a great evil is upon us, which is why we need a guardian" Tikal continued pointing at the water fall. It separated down the middle exposing a white sphere. "Ames can no longer hold this and well the person next in line was to power hungry" Tikal said taking the orb.
"Hmm" Sonic said a little uninsured about the whole situation "so what do I do" Tikal faced him the orb floating in her hand " This orb holds a great power Sonic it has enough to destroy both our realms together" Tikal said stepping closer and kneeling face to face with Sonic "we only choose people we know have a great heart that's strong enough to hold this" Tikal explained
Sonic tilted his head and reached out, poking his finger to it. It felt warm and strange. Tikal pushed it into Sonic's hands. "Let the orb adjust to you" Tikal said Sonic looked at it his red slit eyes studied every inch of it. Suddenly the orb glowed bright white as white spirals slowly ran up Sonic's arms. Out of shock Sonic dropped it and the pattern disappeared.
"What the check was that" Sonic asked shaking a little Ames knelt beside him and held his shoulders. "Its chosen you Sonic" Ames said Tikal picked up the orb that was starting to spin madly. "Sonic please, your our only hope to help protect this realm" Tikal begged holding out the orb once more.
Sonic didn't reach for it "can you just tell what's going to happen" Sonic asked worriedly Tikal sighed "it's going to become part of your power Sonic, joined forever if it somehow this is taken out of your body... you'll die" Tikal said sadly Sonic looked at his mother, but she only took her hands off his shoulders and turned away sadly.
"Alright" Sonic said Tikal and Ames lit up with hope "thank you Sonic" Tikal said Sonic smiled and again held the orb. "Now a fair warning it will be a little painful at first" Tikal said. Sonic looked at her "you tell me this now!" he asked panicky.
Tikal shrugged. The orb glowed once more as white spirals again climbed up Sonic's arms. It's warmth had turned in to a burning heat the longer he held it. Sonic hissed in pain, but he refused to let it go as it started to dissipate.
The spirals soon made there way to the center of Sonic's tan belly and started to form a symbol. Tikal and Ames watched in amazement as it took the shape of a large moonflower. Sonic panted as the heat started to fade and the spirals on his arms faded away.
Ames caught him as Sonic cell backwards exhausted while Tiakl took a closer look at the symbol. It covered most of the tan section of his belly and pulsed white with every heart beat as it slowly spun around and around.
"This is strange" Tikal said "what is?" Ames asked concerned "your symbol was a star and Edward's was a moon, but I don't understand how Sonic's took the shape of a moonflower, he must have more power then you two." Tikal said still utterly confused.
"Every symbol is different Tikal and each have there own meanings" Ames said Sonic stirred and sat up shakinghis head "oh that's make me hate the heat for a while" he said standing on fours again. Tikal watched as Sonic's eyes changed green and his tail start to glow as he shined and changed back.
"Sonic what stage was that" Tikal asked "huh oh, that was my predator stage you see Eggman managed to get me with some kind of serum to enhance my panther side." Sonic explained. Tikal nodded her head in understanding
"It's time to go Sonic it's nearly sunrise in your realm" Tikal said Sonic smiled and nodded as he turned away and walked with Ames. "Oh Sonic" Tikal called Sonic turned towards her "here Knuckles doesn't know that I'm gone please give this to him" Tikal said handing Sonic a letter.
Sonic took it "sure thing Tikal" he said as he stored it in his quills and turned to catch up with his mom "ill see you next time" Sonic called as Ames reopened the door followed her outside.
"Well Sonic I guess this is good bye" Ames said standing in front of the doorway. Sonic sadly nodded and gave her one last hug "I'm gonna miss you" he said letting a tear fall "oh Sonic my son ill always be with you in here" she said pointing at his chest Sonic smiled and started to head off "say hello to Tails for me" Ames called Sonic stopped and turned "I kinda don't feel like talking to him" he said flatly Ames tilted her head "why not Sonic?" She asked
"Because he hid that letter from me and probably more" he said crossing his arms Ames made a pouty face "oh sweety I asked him to" she said Sonic looked at her confused "but why?" Sonic asked his voice starting to crack in sadness. "Sonic in order for you to be the next guardian I had to go first" Ames explained "but I at least wanted to see you one more time" Sonic said his wilting as he held his head down.
"Sonic look at me" Ames said holding his chin up " you can't hate Tails because of something I asked him to do, I had to ask him because if you saw me in my condition you would run yourself crazy" Ames said And she was right Sonic had always had a tendency to fall into depression and start running himself crazy if he couldn't do anything.
"Please Sonic it's not Tails flat don't destroy your bond with him" Ames pleaded Sonic hugged her again and smiled brightly " I won't mom, I promise" Ames smiled and hugged him back "now go Sonic and protect this power with everything you got" Sonic nodded and took of with his speed smiling widely. "Farewell my son" Ames whispered as she went back inside and sealed the realm door.
Sonic ran speeding past trees and bushes literally ridding them from some leaves. He had never been this happy before now this is running "you said it" Sonic said as he whizzed past a river spraying water everywhere laughing. His symbol quickened its pulsing glow in total synce with his heart.
In no time at all Sonic found his way back home. Slowly he walked inside and quietly closed the door. He was fairly surprised to see all most everyone asleep on the floor "thats funny" sonic whispered "where's Tails" sonic looked around stepping over Knuckles and Silver and checked the couch.
Shadow was there a slight frown on his face as he slept. Sonic quietly walked passed him and entered the lab "There he is" Sonic sighed quietly. Tails had fallen asleep on his desk his head resting on the computer chip from earlier.
Sonic smiled and went back into the living room, grabbed a blanket from the cuboard, and gently placed it on Tails. "see you soon buddy" Sonic whispered quietly and left the lab quietly closing the door behind him. "Hmm Sonic" Tails said in his sleep.
Sonic yawned he was tired himself quietly stepping over his sisters he climbed up his perch and curled up. Sonic actually felt happy again he had seen his mom and now he was back with his friends. With those thoughts dancing in his head Sonic soon fell asleep.
It was only a few hours though that the sun had rose and everyone was getting up, well everyone but Sonic. "Man I slept like a rock" Knuckles said outloud only to be shushed by Blaze. "what" Knuckles asked Blaze pointed to the perch Knuckles looked up and was surprised to see Sonic sprawled out on his back sleeping soundly.
"When did he get back?" Silver asked "He must have come back during the night" Amy said reaching up and gently nuzzled his "Come on Sonic wake up" Amy coaxed "Amy I think its best if we let him sleep he had been gone for such a long time" Naela said "your right sorry" Amy said moving her hand away.
Sonic stirred a little and rolled over his back now facing them. "Hey whats that?" Remona asked something white was poking out of Sonic's head quills. Curious Shadow carefully pulled it out, Sonic only huffed a breath and continued to sleep.
"It's a letter" Shadow said "from Tikal" Knuckles waved it off as Shadow opened it "She's probably mad at me for not coming to her ceramony" Knuckles said folding his arms. Shadow bit his lip, "I think its much worse then that" Shadow said handing it to Knuckles.
Knuckles read it and almost lost it. Desperate for answers Knuckles went over and tapped Sonic " Sonic get up" Knuckles said calmly at first "Uhh Five more minutes" Sonic mumbled "Come on Sonic get up" Knuckles said shaking him now "Its early" Sonic complained
"SONIC WAKE UP!" Knuckles yelled frustrated startling the blue blur and making him fall on his back his legs over him "uhh I'm up I'm up" Sonic groaned roling over and getting up.
"Sonic where did you get this" Knuckles asked showing Sonic the letter. Sonic stretched and yawned he was still quite exausted and his symbol showed that as it pulsed white and spun very slowly.
"Its a little hard to explain" Sonic said looking sleepily at the letter "Sonic you look different" Amy said looking at the symbol on sonic's tan belly. "I get that a lot now" Sonic replied his eyes droopy "Anybody have a snickerdoodle?" Sonic asked "A what?" Silver asked confused "Snap out of it Sonic I'm asking a serious question."
Knuckles said shaking Sonic's shoulder's "I like snickerdoodles" Sonic said slightly limp in Knuckles arms "Come on Faker quite clowning around" Shadow said annoyed and slightly weirded out. "A snickerdoodle will make you feel better" Sonic said before going completely limp in Knuckles arms as he passed out exausted.
"I told we shouldn't have woke him up" Naela said Knuckles growled frustrated and shook Sonic again "Knuckles calm down" Amy said "Not until he tells me" Knuckles snapped as Sonic finally came to again "Sonic please where did you get this" Knuckles said slower showing Sonic the letter.
"uhh thats a funny looking hat your wearing there buddy" Sonic said Knuckles could see Sonic was struggling to stay awake and make sense but it wasn't working as Sonic's pupils blowed up and contracted where ever he looked. "Please Sonic make sense" Knuckles asked dessperatly. Sonic huffed and tried to focuse "Thats a letter right... I got from" Sonic struggled to get it out, but he was too tired "From where?" Knuckles pressed.
"There was this moon realm I think.. too tired..." Sonic said Knuckles shook him gently this time "Whats a moon realm Sonic?" Knuckles asked Sonic pointed weakly at his belly showing the Flower symbol "What does that mean" Knuckles asked, but Sonic had fallen limp again as he fell asleep.
"Come on Knuckles maybe Sonic can tell you when he's fully awake" Remona said Knuckles gently placed Sonic on the couch and covered him with a blanket "Yeah I guess" He sighed.
