(I don't own Sonic or Sega)
Sonic woke everyone else up for them to see that the fields were clear and life was somewhat returning. "Wait what happened?" Tails asked really shocked. "Did something happen while we were asleep?" Cream asked. "I don't know, but I think i'll go outside and check." Sonic said about to go outside. "Wait Sonic." Tails said. Sonic turned around and faced him. "Yes Tails?" "We still don't know if it's safe out there, so take your sword and the rosary just in case." Tails looked really scared and he felt a chill run down his spine, he could tell something was not right. "You're right Tails." Sonic replied. Sonic then went and got the sword and rosary and headed outside. Sonic was about ten meters from the house observing the area. "Seems like nothings wrong." Sonic thought to himself. "But something doesn't seem right." Sonic continued to walk around the area until he concluded that nothing seemed to be wrong. "Alright i'm coming back in." Sonic yelled back to his friends. Sonic turned his back for a minute and looked at the ground to feel that it was starting to shake. "Sonic!" "Behind you!" Tails yelled.
Sonic turned around to see a serpent like figure coming up closer and faster to him. "Orochi?" Sonic thought on fear. "Sonic!" "Get inside now!" Knuckles yelled. Sonic just stood in fear as he saw Orochi getting closer and closer by the second until he finally saw him up close. "ROOOOOAR!" The voice was so loud it shook the ground. "A-are you?" "Yes, I am the demon called Yamata no Orochi, the one who cursed this land." "We gotta help him!" Tails shouted at Knuckles. "Right." Tails and Knuckles got their weapons ready and ran outside to help Sonic. "I see so there's more, well I don't mind to kill you too." Orochi lunged fiercely at Tails with all force. Sonic quickly realized that Orochi was about to kill Tails and ran over to him to push him out of the way. "Tails watch out." Sonic ran into Tails pushing him out of the way causing Orochi's first head to get stuck in the ground. "Are you ok?" Sonic asked breathing heavily. "Yeah i'm fine." Tails replied. "Hey, I need some help over here." Knuckles yelled fighting off two of the heads. Tails and Sonic got up and ran over to the demon to fight it off again. "I'll take the middle three heads, Tails you take the two on the right, Knuckles you take the three on the left." Sonic instructed. "Got it." They both replied. Sonic tried slashing the heads off but not leaving a scratch on them. "It's like their body is made of stone." Sonic thought going in for more slashes. Tails tried shooting the heads with everything he had, but it still seems like nothing was hurting him. "I don't know what else to do, I try and fight but they don't go down." Knuckles used his gloves to try and fight them off but he wasn't helping much either. "Why won't these things just die?" Knuckles yelled punching with fire on one hand and with lightning on the other. Sonic continuously looked back to check on the others, but everytime he turned his back, it was like he was knocking on death's door. "Don't worry, you'll be safe." Sonic thought still trying to fend off the beast.
Hours seemed to passed as the day got darker and darker and Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles only got more fatigued as the fight went on. "I don't know how much longer I can keep this up Sonic!" Tails yelled still fighting off the heads. "We need to pull back!" Knuckles yelled just narrowly avoiding the head coming down on him. "Give it up, you'll never beat me." Orochi boasted. Darkness soon filled the sky and the moon had no light reflected on it, now it had become to hard to see outside what was going on. Amy was watching the fight go on in fear while Rouge and Cream were trying to console Tsume who had been crying from the loud fight going on outside. "Shh, it's ok, don't cry." Rouge said cradling Tsume. "Let's go downstairs where it's more quiet." Cream suggested. "But what about?" "I'll watch them." Amy said interrupting Rouge. "Thanks." Rouge said heading downstairs with Cream and Tsume. "Sonic please be careful." Amy pleaded and prayed for Sonic's safety out there where he could possibly die, Amy also prayed for the safety of Tails and Knuckles and wish that they would all come back safe.
"I've got it!" Sonic yelled. "Well let's hear it." Knuckles said trying to move around the striking heads. "Knuckles you need to create a smoke shield using your gloves and combined with the darkness, we could get away." Knuckles agreed with a nod and started to create the smoke. "Sonic lookout!" Tails yelled. Sonic quickly turned around and saw the middle head striking towards him. Sonic quickly jumped out of the way, but the left fang left a diagonal wound from his shoulder down to the middle of the stomach. "Ah!" Sonic screamed in pain. "Sonic!" Sonic couldn't make out who's voice that was, all he saw was his vision slowly fading and sounds of screams in fear and panic. "I-i can't breath." Sonic thought to himself in fear. "I can't move, am I dying?" Sonic's vision faded darker and darker until he finally lost consciousness.
The next thing Sonic knew, Sonic woke up in a dark area filled with fog. "Where am I?" Sonic thought. "Am I dead?" Sonic slowly started to wander around looking for an answer. "This place I feel like i've been here before." Sonic kept on walking around until he stopped and smelled something rotting. "What is that?" Sonic asked. "Not too long after the fog slowly started to lift. "Oh no, what am I going to see?" Sonic thought in panic. The fog finally lifted only to unveil not any form of destruction or death, but a beautiful field full of flowers and sunshine. "What's going on?" Sonic thought while he was looking through the fields. Sonic then came up upon a young pink hedgehog who looked like she was around in her early twenties. "Who is she?" "And why does she feel so familiar?" Not long after Sonic heard a childs voice off in the distance. "Mama, I picked you a flower." The pink hedgehog smiled and picked up the child carrying him off into the field. "Thank you, but I think it's time we went home now." The two went off into the fields as Sonic was thinking about who that was. "Hey, wait up." Sonic quickly ran after them but they only seemed to get further and further away. "Don't go yet, who are you?" Sonic then fell into a pit that swallowed him in darkness. "Sonic couldn't figure out what was going on, his mind felt like it was all over the place with questions. "I didn't even get to see their faces." Sonic fell into the darkness for what seemed like forever until all of the sudden a bright light came over him and blinded him from all of his senses. He could only think this question. "Am I really dead, or am I still living?"
Oh, what does it mean? What does it mean?
