In America
It was your average night in Station Square, everything was quiet, only thing that could be heard were the late night sound of cars traveling the streets at night. We come to find on the night two black cloaked and hooded strangers walking up to an abandoned looking building in which the strangers turned out to be Sally and Fang
" Sally what are we doing here?" Fang asked
" I heard rumors that certain somebody lives in this building that can help me get my revenge." Sally answered
"What revenge?" Fang asked as Sally jacked him up by his cloak
" Nobody puts a restraining order on Sally Acorn and gets away with it." Sally finished as they headed inside of the building.
"Sally why do you bare such hatred toward Sonic, when you have me?" Fang asked
"Because he not only gave away my belongings to some bimbo he humiliated me, and I just plain fucking hate him and I want him to suffer." Sally finished as light rustling could be heard throughout the building.
" Who are you and what are doing inside my home?" A voice asked
"We seek one called Mephiles by chance you know of him?" Sally replied and asked
" I might, what do you want with him?" The voice asked
"Sally is that a ghost?" Fang asked
"Oh far from it weasel boy." The voice replied
"Well I seek revenge on someone and I was told he can help me get it." Sally answered
"Tell me more for I am the one you seek." Mephiles replied
"Can we at least see you?" Fang asked
"Yes but don't be alarmed for I may be quite disturbing." Mephiles finished as appeared but only as a shadow on the wall
"Where are you casting that shadow from?" Sally asked
"You don't understand, all I am is a shadow." Mephiles answered
"Why?" Fang asked
"I have no physical form right now, I can only gain a physical form if I take on the shadow of another being." Mephiles answered
"Well then on to business, I seek revenge on a hedgehog very familiar to you." Sally started
"If you say Sonic The Hedgehog then I refuse to help you." Mephiles replied
"Please hear me out, I only want you to make his and his girlfriend's life miserable that is all." Sally reasoned
"If I agree, what's in it for me?" Mephiles asked
"Well what do you want?" Sally asked
"First off let me take on your guys shadow so that I may have a physical form."
"Okay, second off?" Sally questioned
" I seek two mystical jewels one that's in the hands of your enemies girlfriend and my enemies, sons best friend, find some way for me to get my hands on those jewels and you've got a deal." Mephiles explained
"Very well then you have a deal." Sally agreed as Mephiles flowed into fang shadow taking on his form and shaking hands with Sally signifying a deal was struck.
Station Square Airport (Next Morning)
"Oh I'm so excited Saori's plane will be landing in the next five minutes, oh Sonic hold me I think I'm gonna burst with excitement." Amy stated as she noticed Saori's plane landing and her tail went into wagging overdrive
"Geez, Amy calm down your gonna wag you tail off." Sonic stated
" I can't help it." Amy replied as Sonic grabbed her and kissed her making her calm down.
" Oh Sonic let the girl be excited it's been a while since she's seen her friend." Aleena stated
"Yeah bro lighten up, stop being such a stick in the mud." Manic replied as Saori and her guests came into view.
"SAORI!" Amy Yelled
" AMY!" Saori yelled as they both ran into each other's arms as squeals of excitement radiated throughout the airport.
"Yikes Saori, your killing my ears." Leo said as he approached her.
"Leo, knock it off. She's just happy to see her friend." Gio said as he was standing behind Leo.
"Hi Gio. How's my dad doing?" Amy asked.
"He's doing fine Amy as a matter of fact he's right there. Gio answered as Arnold came into view.
"Plus, I'm helping him to control his temper." Gio added.
"That's great to know, and it's great to see you too daddy." Amy answered and greeted
"I can see you've been doing well here, it looks to me as though you've grown a little." Arnold stated
"No not at all it's my shoes making me this tall." Amy answered
"Gio, nice to see ya dude." greeted Sonic.
"Same here Sonic. I would like you to meet L-." Gio stopped when he saw that Leo was nowhere to be found.
"Meet who man?" Sonic asked.
"Never mind, let's just head to your apartment and start our vacation." Gio exclaimed in excitement.
"Hey Saori who is this?" Sonic asked
"Oh that's my beloved mother Lily, isn't the resemblance uncanny." Saori answered as her mom pinched her cheeks
"Oh, Saori you little nut, you're always comparing us together." Lily replied
"Hi Ms. Lily it's great to see you again." Amy greeted
"Like wise Amy dear." Lily finished
After they finished exchanging greetings and collecting their luggage they headed back to Sonic's apartment to talk.
Sonic's Apartment
When they arrived they found an all-out spread of food waiting for them, prepared by both Amy and Sonia.
"See I told you guys that we wouldn't need to stop for food." Amy started
"Hi there it's great to meet you all I'm Sonia." Sonia introduced
"This here is Sonic's twin sister Sonia and although you may have seen him before this is Sonic's real brother Manic and his mom Aleena." Amy introduced as they all waved
"I must say the pleasure is all mine." Saori finished as she curtsied before them as well as bowed
"Now that everybody is caught up let's eat." Sonic finished as a knock came at his door.
"I wonder who that could be?" Sonic asked as he opened the door and noticed a red and black hedgehog standing there.
"Hi who are you?" Sonic asked as Gio looked out the door
"Leo where in god's name did you run off to in the airport?" Gio asked approaching the door
"Well that flight was long and well I had to go to the bathroom, sorry I didn't say so." Leo explained and apologized as Sonic let him in
"It's a good thing you can find me by sensing my presence, everyone this here is my son Leo." Gio replied and introduced as Leo merely waved.
It wasn't long before they all finished devouring the meal completely and were soon sitting around talking until Manic pulled Sonic to the side.
"Hey Sonic do you know if Saori has a boyfriend?" Manic asked as Leo was eavesdropping
"Well last time I was in Japan she was dating a guy named Jack but as of now I really don't know." Sonic answered
"Man I hope she doesn't cause she is smoking hot." Manic complimented
"Well if I know Amy she'll find out later on tonight, cause I promised Amy that in the room I have set up for Saori and her folks she could sleep over and reconnect with Saori and if I know my girl she mostly definitely will get the info out of her." Sonic explained
"Manic I have to tell you this, even if she doesn't I think you might not be Saori's type so if she doesn't want to go out with you don't take it the wrong way." Sonic finished as he showed Saori and her folks to the room on the floor below his, he also left Amy there with Saori as they sat in her separate room and reconnected.
"Well Saori how have things been going with the shop?" Amy asked
"Great the same customers that came around with your gramps in charge still come around and I've managed to come up with a monthly budget and everything." Saori answered
"That's awesome now to more personal matters, how are thing going with you and Jack?" Amy asked as Saori turned her face away from Amy hiding her pain.
"Oh Saori what happened?" Amy asked
"Well I guess you can say I had an event very similar to Sonic." Saori answered
"You mean he two timed you?" Amy asked as Saori nodded
"That really burns me up why can't people stick with one person, why do they have to deceive another person." Amy replied
"Well it's all water under the bridge." Saori replied yawning
"Well it is getting late perhaps we should head to bed." Amy finished as both her and Saori crawled under the sheets of her bed and went to sleep.
12:00 Midnight
"It was late at night in Station Square and everybody was sound asleep, all except one that is and it was none other than Leo yet he was disguised in all black clothing with a mask over his face as he jumped from the balcony of his room and down to room where Saori slept and tapped on her window, Saori stirred slightly but dozed right back off until he tapped again and this time she woke up.
She threw on her robe and strolled over to her window and looked out but could not see anyone; she then opened the screen door and walked out to see if she could see anyone when a voice could be heard.
"Evening Saori" The guy greeted startling Saori
"Who, who are you?" Saori asked
"Wow is that how you treat the guy who saved your life." The guy answered
"I finally get the chance to thank you in person for what you did." Saori replied
"You're more than welcome, and also I think you have something that belongs to me." The guy responded and brought up
"Yes I found your diamond, and I guess you want it back don't you." Saori asked
"Not yet I'll let you keep it a while longer." The guy finished
"Okay but I got know are you following me because I didn't think you'd follow me here." Saori asked
"No, I'm just a guardian angel dressed in all black for a very beautiful woman." The guy replied as Saori blushed
"Well I better be going and just so you know you can call me Max and know I'll be watching over you." Max finished as he jumped back onto another balcony and across to another building.
Yet unknowing to both Max and Saori, two familiar people were below them as "No, I'm just a guardian angel dressed in all black for a very beautiful woman." The guy replied as Saori blushed
"Well I better be going and just so you know you can call me Max and know I'll be watching over you." Max finished as he jumped back onto another balcony and across to another building. Yet unknowing to both Max and Saori two familiar people were below them plotting as soon as Max was out of view, Sally decided to put her plan into action. She grabbed a grappling hook, gave it a twirl, and threw it really high. When the line was secure, she climbed up to try and get the gold chaos emerald where the others were but upon spotting it under a glass container she knew it was a trap, so she aimed for the chaos diamond. She then went to Saori's room, just as she was getting ready to get back into bed Sally knocked Saori out with a chloroform soaked towel, and took the diamond belt along w/ Saori.
The Next Morning:
Lily was the first to wake up, so she headed to Saori's room to go and check on her, Amy was already gone because she usually goes on morning runs with Sonic.
"Saori sweetie where are you?" Lily asked as she got no answer she then looked on top of Saori's bag and noticed a letter attached to something. She didn't pay attention to what the letter was attached to she just read the letter and instantly fell to her knees crying.
Leo woke up to the sound of Lily crying as he emerged from his room to see what was wrong.
"Someone kidnapped Saori." Lilly answered still crying.
"Oh god, who took my baby?" Lily asked as she buried her face in her hands and continued to cry.
Leo then found a video tape on Saori's bag. "Maybe this could tell us something." Leo finished as he placed the tape in the VCR and it started to play
On The Video
The video started with an image of Saori popping up on the screen, sitting on a bed with hands bound behind her back and her legs tied together with eyes covered and her mouth gagged, she looked scared and terrified all together as the camera panned over to a woman sitting in a chair who happened to be Sally with a glass of wine in her hand.
"Well she's a sight to see isn't she, and I can guarantee she will be returned and unharmed if you get that bitch Amy Rose to hand over the gold chaos emerald she has and if not well, this little hedgehog's life will be ending very shortly, I'll be waiting at 2325 Sprankel Ave. the old abandoned factory be there if you want to see her again." Sally explained
"Also don't try to bring the cops into this, cause of so I'll pop a cap in her head right before their very eyes." Sally finished as Saori started to scream for help with her cries being muffled by her gag as the video cut off.
"Man this is serious." Gio replied as both he and Arnold watched the video from afar.
"Well dad what do we do?" Leo asked
"To me we can't handle this alone let's go and talk to Sonic and the others." Gio finished as they all got dressed and headed back up to Sonic's apartment, they knocked frantically cause this was an emergency as a disturbed looking green hedgehog opened the door.
"Man do you guys know what time it is?" Manic asked as they forced their way inside
"Where is your brother this is an emergency?" Gio asked as Manic called out to Sonic and both he and Amy came out of his room fully dressed.
"Hey good morning everybody, what did Saori sleep in late." Sonic greeted cracking a joke as he noticed how upset Saori's mom looked
"Ms. Lily what's wrong?" Amy asked
"Somebody kidnapped Saori last night, they left this note and this video tape, and we need your help because she's threatening to kill her if we don't meet her demands." Leo explained as Lily yet again started to cry
"She who?" Sonic asked as he took the video and played taking immediate notice to who it was doing the threatening
"Grr, that does it I'm calling the police." Sonic stated as Lily stopped him
"No Sonic you didn't listen to the last of it, if you involve the police she'll kill her right in their faces, please ever since my husband became a trucker and my other daughter started college at an all-girl school my Saori is the only company I have so please don't let me lose her please I'm begging you help save my daughter." Lily finished bawling her eyes out yet again.
"Don't worry Lily we will save her." Amy replied as she came back dressed for action with her Kitana's and Sai's as well as Piko Hammer ready for anything. Sonic nodded in agreement
"Please let me come with you." Leo pleaded
"Why Leo?" Amy asked
"Well you see she not only took Saori, she took Saori's belt which happens to be a chaos diamond in which she found when I saved her life back in Japan from some rapists, but she knows me as guy named Max whom is her guardian angel." Leo explained
"Leo what's the real reason you want to risk your life?" Sonic asked
"I'm in love with Saori and have been since the second grade and I feel that if I prove to her how strong I truly am she'll accept me as more than a friend but maybe as a lover." Leo replied
"You can't be in love with Saori, I'm in love with her and I will be the one to save her." Manic interrupted
"Manic you just met Saori yesterday how can you already be in love with the girl.
"Shut up Sonic I'm saving her and that's final besides at least I don't have to pretend to be someone to tell her how I feel." Manic finished
"I take it that was directed at me and I agree with Sonic, you don't know Saori like I do plus you are nowhere near her type." Leo retaliated
"Keep talking jackass and I'll show you how I'm her type." Manic threatened
"You don't want to mess with me, at least i don't have fur that matches to barf." Leo countered
"You guys this is not the time for you two to be fighting." Sonic stated
"Stay out of it." Manic and Leo replied in unison staring each other in the face that is until Manic punched Leo in the jaw thus throwing down the gauntlet.
"Is that all you got, barf-hog?" Leo insulted.
Manic was so angry, he ran to Leo ready to punch him. But, Leo soon teleported behind Manic and kicked his back.
"Whoa, I thought only Shadow knew chaos control." Sonic said.
"I had been trying to master it for a while that is until my 10th birthday." Leo responded as walked away with his head hung low headed to his room, leaving some sleeping pellets on the floor, it was short while after he went to his room that they knocked everyone in the room out,it was then he grabbed his samurai sword and the gold chaos emerald, put on his black suit, and headed where the tape gave the address.
Mephiles's hideout, 10:00 p.m:
"You'll regret kidnapping me, squirrel bitch." Saori yelled from the chair she was chained to.
Then, Mephiles's shadow appeared behind her, and scratched her right cheek.
"Don't count on it welp, when your protector gives me the gold chaos emerald, he'll die along with you". Mephiles said in a dark tone.
"What do you want the gems for anyway?" Saori asked
"I wish to have a permanent physical form instead of jumping from shadow to shadow, and those are my ticket." Mephiles explained
"Your never gonna mmmmm." Saori started as Sally regagged her.
Then Max entered the building, looking at the shadow behind Saori.
"Who are you?" Max asked.
When Mephiles saw Max's shadow in front of him, his shadow aimed for it, and took in the physical form of max.
"I am Mephiles, Mephiles the Dark. Now hand over the emerald!" Mephiles answered and demanded.
Max threw Mephiles the gold chaos emerald, and then went to grab Saori, he removed the blindfold and ungagged her, he then grabbed the chains only to get electrocuted by the chains causing him to fall to his knees.
Sally appeared behind Max to cuff him, once done she then kicked him to the floor. Mephiles then reached for the mask and removed it. Saori was shocked to see that Max was really Leo. Mephiles slowly walked over to Saori and spoke
"It's such a pitty you had to come, now you get to see you friend get killed." Mephiles finished as he punched into Saori's chest and ripped her heart out. Her eyes went wide as she released a scream of pain before her body went completely limp. Leo watched as the one friend, the one female hedgehog he had feelings for, was killed right in front of him. Mephiles was cackling as he held the chaos diamond and gold chaos emerald into the air in victory. But his victory was cut short as he saw Leo glowing, along with the chaos gems in his hands.
"What is happening!" the evil hedgehog asked as the gems flew outta his hands and were circling Leo.
C'mon and light the fuse, he's a rocket and he's ready to go
'Cause now the coutdown has started and he's ready to blow
He's got the dope sounds pumpin in a stereo (-eo!)
Kick'n ass fast... puttin' on a show
"CHAOS GEMS, FUSE AS ONE!" with that, Mephiles watched as the gems merged with Leo. Leo was now a golden hedgehog w/ black stripes, bright as the sun, and had shinning blue eyes.
Go on and get yourself together, there's no time to rest
And if you put the time in he'll put you to the test
He's like the runnin' man, in his world more is less
And if you wanna test him best bring your best
Don't make me spell it out, bring your best!
Sally drew out a AK-47 and started shooting at Leo, which didn't work. As every bullet she shot ricocheted off his glowing body until ricocheted at the right angel to hit her in her leg and make her fall to the ground in pain.
In this world (His world!) Where life is strong
In this world (His world!) Life's an open book
In this world (His world!) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!
In this world (His world!) Where one is all
In this world (His world!) Never fear the fall
In this world (His world!) Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!
Once Sally was down Leo went after Mephiles, he tried his best to dodge Leo's attacks but wasn't doing so well. Leo was highly pissed and not only that he was torn inside.
"Hey kid calm down I'm sure we can talk about this." Mephiles replied with fear in his voice
Just as Leo came again with another strike he hit a nearby wall that housed a pipe that soon popped open releasing gas into the air.
"Mephiles prepare to die!" Leo yelled as he unsheathed his sword began to hack away at Mephiles.
Runnin' it back again, well what'dja expect?
Comin' at ya with ten out of ten, got a real rough neck
Spikes up his memories, straps on his shoes
'Cause he's the best there ever was, haven't you heard the news?
Intergalactic continental champ, running things
Hyperactive instrumental with pulling strings
See he's the one who'll understands when the tides will swing
So he's breaking down doors, never following
C'mon and psyche yourself up, 'cause it's time to play
Bouncin' the beats and the rhymes 'cause they're here to stay
The one and only miracle now ripping the day
Movin' up, commin' fast, and he'll blow you away
Because the pressures of this world make you take their toll
And it's time to get away when we take ahold
The only way to break free is to break the mold
You can't stop now, lock and load
Don't stop now, c'mon, rock n' roll!
It wasn't long till Mephiles was nothing but a torso on the floor as Leo walked up to him, all the while tears in his eyes.
"Come on kid, let's talk about this, besides if you kill me your dad won't be to happy about it." Mephiles begged
"What the hell are you talking about, how do you know my dad?" Leo asked
"I guess he never told you, but I am a part of your dad he used the very gems I sought out to get rid of me because I wanted him to be evil and conniving like me but nothing doing so he banished me from his body but without a body of my own I was forced to roam the world as a worthless shadow." Mephiles explained
"Like I give a fuck, your life ends here and now, you took my one true love from me and your gonna pay." Leo stated
" Please kid come on give me chance I can change I promise I can just give me a chance." Mephiles begged
"NO WAY IN HELL!" Leo shouted slicing the remaining parts of Mephiles body in half and using his power to destroy his shadow so he could never regenerate.
Leo then sheathed his sword as he walked over to Saori remains and began to cry for his lost love that is until he was interrupted.
"You cause my girlfriend to shoot herself now burn in hell with the remains of your true love." Fang finished as he tossed a lighter into the building which caused Leo to realize the broken gas pipe in which the lighter made contact with gas causing the building to explode and go up in flames.
In this world (His world!) (Gotta make your own way!) Where life is strong

It was at this time that Sonic and the others arrived on the scene as the building was burning, it was then that Sonic grabbed Amy's hand and him using the chaos emeralds they went super and used their powers as best they could to put the fire out.
When out of the blaze Leo came out still in his super form holding the lifeless body of Saori as he fell to his knees and yet again cried for his loss. Upon noticing that Saori was motionless Lily rushed to Leo's side where she notice the hole in her chest where her heart once was as she too began to bawl her eyes out with Leo.
"I'm sorry Lily if only I had, done something sooner she would still be with us." Leo replied as Sonic and Amy finally put the fire out and gathered around Leo and Lily as they cried
"There's a way to save her." Gio started
"Dad what are you talking about?" Leo asked
"The gold emerald and chaos diamond are lifesaving emeralds reason why they've never been used for good or evil." Gio started as all attention was turned to him.
"They rarely do anything until they are needed to do something but they will only work for one with a righteous heart reason why Mephelis was unable to use them and if they are used they will scatter and have to be relocated,but that's a chance I'm willing to take." Gio explained
"Dad you knew Mephiles was a part of this?" Leo asked
"Well I figured my old counterpart would make a reappearance just didn't think it would be so soon, who would've thought that after 19 years he would resurface." Gio finished
"Would you stop stalling and tell me how to save my daughter." Lily yelled
"It's up to Leo, if you've heard in fairytales that true loves kiss can awaken a princess, well true loves kiss will revive Saori but if and only if Leo's love for her is true." Gio explained
"Well Leo do you truly love my daughter?' Lily asked
"Yes, yes I do and I pray that my kiss can and will bring her back to me." Leo finished as he kissed Saori on the lips, everyone looked on in awe as Saori's body started to glow with her heart that Mephiles tore out regenerating and her wound closing completely.
It wasn't long before Saori's eyes fluttered open as she realized she was being kissed by Leo, but she wasn't too quick to break it, Leo slowly broke the kiss and looked into Saori's eyes
"Saori your alive, I'm so happy you're okay." Leo replied hugging Saori tight
"Saori my baby you're okay." Lily responded hugging Saori as Leo did before getting up from the ground
Saori and Leo stared at each other for a while until Gio smacked Leo upside his head.
"Well aren't you gonna say something to her?" Gio asked
"Saori… I love you and I always have, I'm sorry for all the secrecy with the fake name and everything but I couldn't think of any other way to tell you how beautiful you are to me." Leo stated
"Leo I." Saori was interrupted as Leo shushed her
"Please let me finish, I've liked you since the second grade, I fell in love with you in the ninth grade but by then I thought it was too late for me cause you dated other guys but somehow lucked smiled on me so many time by those guys not being your true love and if you'll have me I'll be the last guy you'll ever date." Leo finished as Saori smiled
"Leo you had me once you told me you loved me." Saori finished as Leo grabbed her and gave her a kiss as everyone awed making them blush.
Gio and Leo then used Chaos Control to teleport everyone back to the apartment where they proceeded to settle down as Leo and Saori went into her room to catch a nap cause they had a very busy night as they cuddled close together and fell asleep in each other's arms
It was late as everyone else also decided to turn in for night after such a big event.
(Well there you have OC finds true love, keep reading and reviewing to see even more things unfold in the story.)
