Chapter 13: All Back Together

We charged out of the cave at top speeds, leaving Amy with Helen in the cave. We tried to get behind the monster; it had lost sight of us and was standing still, waiting for a glimpse of a moving target. Sonic led the way around the back of it; we tried to be as quiet as possible, but ultimately in vain as we saw the golem head toward us, Sclera's yellow eye's piercing me as I caught glimpses of them through the trees.

"Now!" Sonic yelled as Fiona tossed Shadow the chaos emerald and they warped away, leaving a light in their place. The rest of us began to throw anything we had at it, waiting for our friends to return. We were getting really tired, and the chaos morpher was beeping at low. I could see a lot of people were slowing, but we weren't giving up. The morpher was beeping constantly, and we all had gotten some wounds. I saw a dark haze coming around the outside of my vision, encroaching upon the center of my sight.

'Terry?' I heard Nika question me inside my head, but I couldn't do it anymore, I was running but I fell from tripping over a root, as the darkness consumed me, I saw a flash of light, and Shadow was right in front of me. They had done it! I called

"Shadow!" as loud as I could, which was not much above a whisper, but even so, I saw his head snap in my direction, and that was when I blacked out…

…

When I saw light again, I also felt terrible, the soreness and the migraine I had was pounding back to the darkness, but I resisted and sat up slowly. I felt I had slept on a gurney, and not my bed, I noticed I was human again, and any wounds I had had were cleaned and dressed. A sudden wave of nausea came over me, so I got up and headed for the bathroom, I went up the stairs and to the main floor, but after that, I couldn't navigate. I stumbled through the halls, wishing I could remember where to go, but no matter how I tried to recall, it wouldn't come. I rounded a corner, clutching my stomach, trying to hold down what wanted to come up. When I got to the end of the hallway and out into one of the chao gardens, I bumped into someone. I looked up, and saw it was Shadow, of all people. He had an expression devoid of emotion, but I could tell that he knew what was going on.

"Wait here." He said. I saw him use the chaos emerald to warp away and then was back in an instant, he had gotten help. He just stood there, I wasn't sure if he didn't know what to do or just didn't care that much. But before anyone came, I couldn't hold it anymore, I threw up. It was right after that that Miles and Danny came and helped clean me up, gave me some water and helped me back to the gurney. Nika was in the room, and she sat next to my pillow, I stroked her soft skin, and drifted off to sleep again. When I woke up that time, I felt much better, and Nika told me what had happened.

"The golem was destroyed, and Shadow brought you back here." She said.

"Thanks Nika, I think I will go out and take a walk, why don't you hang out with Talia for a while?"

"Are your sure you feel ok?" she asked accusingly, I smiled.

"Yes," I said exasperatedly as I petted her head, "you can accompany me up the stairs." As we parted ways at the top of the stairs on the main level, I headed out to the field and started walking around the outside of HQ; I had never noticed how big it was. As I got to the back of the structure, I heard two voices talking, one kinda sounded like Shadow's, but the other was different and I couldn't place it. As I came closer, I heard parts of sentences and phrases,

"this is…"

"we should have…"

"I know but…"

"Gale I…"

Gale! Who was Gale? I came closer still, and quieted my steps. I turned one last corner and came face to face with a boy I had never met and a dark chao floating beside him.

Hope u liked it!
