Chapter 7: Start of Something New
"I think I'm gonna stay here for a while guys." Harry said to his siblings as he helped them load the supplies the Freedom Fighters here let them have. Some water, a few non perishable food stuffs, some toiletries. Things like that.
"What are you talking about?" Sonia demanded. "We always travel together."
"Yeah, but after Robotnik's little FLYbot got me I started thinking about the future. How many more times am I going to be a victim that you guys have to save? I realized that I need to get stronger so I can protect myself without having to rely on you guys constantly." The human child told his siblings. "So if Rudy doesn't mind, I'd like to stay and train in the desert for say...two years?" He looked up at his new lizard man friend.
"Sure lil' mate. No problem. We could use some fresh blood in our group." Rudy agreed with a nod. "Especially siince we lost a few of our guys to those nasty FLYbots." One of those friends he had mentioned, the big one who had grabbed him from behind, had been roboticized. And a couple of other non bipedal mobians.
"Train? Out here in the desert? Are you sure?" Sonic asked. Skeptical about his little brother's choice in staying.
"I'd also like to try to find my dad's family if their out here. Remember when Uncle Argus said that my dad was taken in by a fox family in the desert area? Maybe their still here!"
"I did hear rumors of a village far in the desert." Rudy said as he rubbed his chin. "One of my mate's got lost a while back. He had little water left and was exhausted. He had collapsed. But he looked up and saw a fox figure looming over him."
The friend who had come at Rudy with a knife collapses in the desert as the sun is high in the sky. He opened his canteen but only sand came out. He spat out the sand and turned over. His abdomen toward the sun. He felt like he was going to die. But then, the sun was blocked out. And a brown furred fox with glowing hands made him black out.
"Well, if this is what you want, we'll support you." Sonia said giving the small human a hug.
After saying goodbye to his siblings, Harry and Rudy waved as the Sonic Underground van drove off toward Robotropolis.
