Not much to say this time. By the way, the robot called Soundwave has nothing to do with Transformers. Also thanks to user TheCheeseburger for reviewing my story. I really appreciate it! Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Rise of the Chosen One
Chapter 8: Lost Memories
Road to the Blue Chaos Shrine: Sonic's POV
I continued to walk down the road with my friends, humming a tune. "But I ain't out of control…Just living by my word!" I sung as the others behind me held their ears. I looked back; they obviously didn't like my singing. "Am I really that bad?" I asked them as they looked at me. "Sonic…It's not you…" Tails said as he pointed behind me. I turned around and instantly held my own ears in pain. What the hell was happening?
"Oh Hohoho!" Eggman laughed as he floated above his robot. "Say hello to E-122, Soundwave! He has the ability to create high pitched waves made from sound to attack you or cause extreme pain to enemies' ears! Pretty clever don't you think?" Eggman asked us, it seemed pretty stupid to ask me what I think about his machines. "I think it's pretty damn stupid if you ask me." I responded, however Eggman didn't seem to hear me. "I'm sorry Sonic; I can't seem to hear you." Eggman said as he leaned his ear closer to me. That's when I noticed the earplugs in his ears; of course he would protect himself from his own robots ability.
"Darn it…" Tails said as he slumped to his knees. Amy had already passed out from the pain. I wasn't feeling all that great myself. But I noticed something odd. "Hey…Where's Larnet?" I asked out loud. My answer was given in the form of the sound of feet connecting with metal. I turned my head back around to see Larnet hitting Soundwave with a midair dropkick. The robot went flying and hit a tree, "I think this little game has gone on long enough." Larnet said as he approached the robot.
I got back on my feet and rushed over to Amy, she would be alright for the moment. "Tails, I need you to watch Amy for me." I asked the two tailed fox. "No problem Sonic, go kick that robots butt!" Tails yelled as I rushed toward Soundwave. Before the bot could even figure out what was going on I had hit it with a full on Spin Dash, expecting it to be destroyed. Problem was the Spin Dash only launched the robot back a few feet. "What? That attack should have spilt him into two pieces!" I yelled as Larnet approached my side. "It would seem that Eggman has begun to increase the durability of his robots armor. This one could take significant damage before its armor will be pierced." Larnet said as he continued toward the robot.
"Soundwave! Destroy them!" Eggman yelled as the robot charged us. I jumped in the air to avoid a punch from the robot only to be hit in midair by a sound blast. I flew until I came in contact with the closest thing in the area, a tree. Let's just say I didn't enjoy the impact. "Gah!" I yelled in pain as I coughed up a little blood. I could tell I had broken a rib or two. I growled in anger as I charged the robot again. Before I could even reach Soundwave though, Larnet had blasted the robot and began to hit with a couple dozen punches and kicks, before throwing it onto the ground. I jumped into the air and used a Chaos Dash to spilt right through the robots exterior and launch myself out the other side, causing the robot to explode.
"Ha, piece of cake!" I yelled as I looked up at Eggman. He slammed his fists on his flying machines console in anger, "This isn't over yet Sonic!" He yelled as hundreds of robots fell from the sky. I gave a low whistle before clutching my side in pain. I regained my composure and looked at the army, "Well this is sure going to be one heck of a party!" I yelled looking at the robots. "Let's just get this over with." Larnet said cracking his knuckles, he dashed forward and destroyed a few robots with one swipe of his hand. "Alright let's do this!" I yelled as I ran forward and destroyed a dozen robots with homing attacks before landing again.
"That's it! Send out the prisoner!" Eggman yelled at his robots. A hedgehog stepped forward, his two quills on his sides were style like Shadow's while the three middle ones stood straight up and had a lightning pattern to them. He had yellow fur with white stripes on his arms, legs, and lightning style quills. His gloves were yellow and his shoes were like mine only yellow and white. He had lightning yellow eyes. He also had this strange looking device on his head, "That can't be good for your health." I said commenting on the thing on his head. "Lightning, kill them!" Eggman yelled at the hedgehog.
"Yes…Master." Lightning said as he charged toward me. I jumped to avoid the blast of lightning from his hands, "So his name isn't just for show, he can harness the power of lightning…Be careful Sonic!" Larnet yelled as he watched the fight. "No worries! I got this in the bag!" I yelled as I continued to dodge the lightning blasts coming from the yellow hedgehog. I finally struck back when I dodged another blast and hit him square in the chest with a Spin Dash, knocking him back a few feet. "I've got to destroy the machine on his head, maybe that'll free him from Eggman's control." I said losing track of the fight. That would cost me dearly as Lightning electrocuted me with one of his lightning bolts. "AHHHHH!" I yelled in pain, anybody who ever says electricity doesn't hurt that bad is lying to your face. I could hear cracks inside of my body, which couldn't be good. It meant that the electricity was so powerful that it was breaking my bones. However the pain just abruptly stopped. Lightning grunted as he was hit by an energy blast from Larnet. "Get off of him!" Larnet yelled as he charged Lightning.
Before Lightning could even get up he was kicked in the face from Larnet, followed by a couple Chaos Spears that became embedded in his body. I was in so much pain that I could hardly move, but I forced myself to stand up. After all, I've been through much worse then this. I ran at Lightning as he was being pummeled by Larnet and ripped the machine on his head off as I ran by. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, Eggman sighed. "Well that was a wasted experiment. I knew I should have put the device inside his head." Eggman said turning around to leave with the remainder of his army. I went to stop him but fell over from the pain of Lightning's attack earlier. Eggman escaped in his Egg Destroyer.
Larnet ran over and helped me up, "Sonic, you okay?" He asked me. The truth in the matter was that I wasn't, but I wasn't about to tell him that. "I'm fine." I said trying to stand up on my own, but failing miserably as I fell back on the ground. Larnet sighed, "You don't look okay. In fact you look like someone decided that it would be fun to tie you to a rope connected to the back of their truck and drag you down the interstate." Larnet said as he looked at me. I coughed up a little more blood before finally accepting his help. He dragged me back to Amy and Tails before going to check on Lightning.
Larnet's POV
After I dropped Sonic off with Tails, who complained about not being a doctor for some reason, I went to check on this 'Lightning' fellow. I walked over to where the yellow and white hedgehog was just in time to see him waking up. "Good you're awake, mind telling us what happened?" I asked him as he began to stand up, but collapsed because of his own pain. "Probably from the beating I gave him earlier." I thought to myself as I approached the yellow hedgehog. He looked at me with confused eyes, "Who the heck are you? Where am I?" He said before following with a question that I really wished he hadn't said, "Who am I?" "Oh crap." Those were the first two words to escape my mouth; this was going to be one of those days.
Road to the Yellow Chaos Shrine: Zaos's POV
I walked down the road looking at either side of it. I knew someone was here, I just couldn't quite put my finger on where they we hiding. "Is something wrong Zaos?" Jewel asked as she looked in the same directions I was. "We're being followed; I'm just trying to figure out who it is." I responded before some movement caught my eye. I shot my gaze toward it immediately before yelling in that direction, "You can come out from hiding now. I know you're there." I said looking at the one particular bush. A figure jumped from the bushes and landed right in front of me. It didn't startle me but it sure as hell scared the crap out of my sister.
"Who are you?" I asked as the figure removed the hood on its head and looked at me. It was an ice blue female fox wearing a blue dress that came down to her knees. She had blue gloves on and shoes like Tails only ice blue. Her eyes were also ice blue in color. "My name is Frost; I am looking for my colleague." She said in the most basic tone imaginable. She obviously didn't like to express her emotions. "What would his name happen to be?" I asked her, more curious than suspicious now.
"His name is Lightning…"
That's it for this chapter. I might write another one either tomorrow or the next day, depending on if I'm in the mood to write one at the time.
