The Chaos Saga
Sonic the hedgehog's story
Chapter 3
I may protect my friends, but I just don't trust them. Tails and Amy get themselves kidnapped or nearly-killed too much, while Knuckles and Rouge are too mysterious to even be considered my friends. Meanwhile, every time Eggman would return, he'd become more powerful than last time, and I just can't seem to catch-up with him whatsoever. What that liquid-bodied monster said that night was true: I do desire power, so that I can protect my friends better, especially Tails and Amy.
It was a rainy night, as I was patrolling the streets of Station Square of any Eggman robots. You just can't be too careful is all. That was until I saw several police-cars rush somewhere, and with my super-speed I followed them to a dead-end, where I saw the liquid-bodied monster holding a rabbit-girl (the same one I used to rescue along with her family when I first fought Eggman) and her pet fairy hostage. The monster snatched the guns, took-out the bullets, and dropped them on the ground, leaving the police-men helpless and vulnerable. He then created a geyser from his own arm, tossing the police-cars high in the air as the police tried to make their escape, but in the nick of time, with my super-speed I rescued the officers from the cars before they could crash. Ordering them to get out before they die, I faced the monster, getting ready for combat.
That was when the monster sensed my desire for power within my heart, and mentioned it in front of me. I had no words to describe what he said, but the rabbit-girl bravely said that I'd never trade my life for power like Eggman. The fight began, with me struggling long and hard to protect the rabbit-girl from the monster.
Thirty minutes into the battle, and already the monster pinned me on the wall with his elongated arms. I struggled to get out, but to no avail, as the monster said to me, "Face it, forest-animal! You are too helpless to save the girl and her chao! If you desire them yet again, take your anger and hate and direct them upon me! Use it as your ultimate power!"
"No," I responded to the monster.
"Then you leave me no choice," replied the monster. He then faced the girl and said, "Now's your chance! Take your chao's developed power, and use it against the hedgehog!"
"What did you say," asked the girl.
"What's going on," I asked. "Why are you telling a little girl to kill me?"
"It's because of her chao," replied the monster. "She and I possess a strong connection to the chao, and from me she learned that you aren't so much a hero as much as you are power-obsessed, just like Eggman!" He then faced the girl and continued, "He wants me dead, and yet I'm your only hope to destroy Eggman! Help me finish him off!"
"Don't you dare do so," I said to the girl and her chao. "If you attack me, I might as well fight you as well!"
"You see," the monster asked her. "He threatened you, and you're just a little girl! Pay him back for the terrible things he said to you!"
"You have a mother and her friend," I said to the girl, "right? I saw you with the two of them when I first saved you from Eggman! Don't toss them away for whatever it is that monster wants to give you!"
"What are you waiting for," the monster asked the girl. "Finish off your hero!"
The rabbit-girl became confused as to what to do, and even though I was trapped, I was still prepared anytime that girl sides with that monster. A minute later, the girl made her decision, and sicked her chao not on me, but rather on the liquid-bodied monster, knocking him backward onto the ground! I was released from his grasp, as I got back into my fighting stance while the monster got back on his feet.
"You fool," the monster said to the girl and her chao. "That hedgehog was no different from his nemesis! Why do you side with him and fulfill his corrupt desires?"
"You haven't listened to a word I said," the girl said to the monster, "didn't you, Chaos? I don't see the world in black-and-white like you do, but rather all shades of gray! There's some good in Sonic, and I don't see why I'd be tricked by you into killing mine and my family's only hope against Eggman!"
"Then if you hate me," the monster, whom the girl called Chaos, said, "then take your anger and hate upon me! Fill your heart with rage!"
The girl, her chao, and I fought Chaos together, and while the girl and her pet were as capable of combat as me, I just didn't trust them with my life. In the end, though, we've managed to defeat Chaos, as he melted into a small puddle and disappeared underneath a manhole.
The girl and her pet chao faced me as I did likewise with them, as she said, "Thanks for coming to save our lives, and we were glad to have saved yours! My name is Cream, by the way, and my friend next to me is Cheese."
"Chao, chao," replied Cheese.
The girl and her chao were smiling at me, but I was upset at what the two nearly did to their lives. "Sonic," Cream said to me, "why are you angry?"
"You nearly died all in the name of my life," I said to the two. "Even with your combined strength, you're just a damsel-in-distress and her pet, waiting to get kidnapped so that I could come and save you, only to realize that it's too late and you're dead!"
"Damsel," Cream said to me, "in-distress?"
"This was my battle," I said to Cream and Cheese. "And anyone involved in my battles can die or get captured! So I suggest you run home to your mother and hide there, unless you want me to kick your tails along with the monster's!"
Cream started to pour tears, as she started crying like the girl she was, with her chao hugging and comforting her. As for me, I'd turn around to see the officers I rescued walk toward us.
"That girl just saved your life," said one of the officers. "You know that, right?"
"Is that any way to thank her," asked another officer.
"You, too," I asked the police-men. I then changed the topic, "Listen, it's cold and wet outside, and this girl and her fairy need to get back home to her mother. Since you're police-officers, how about if you send her back home to where she belongs?"
"But why did you call her a 'damsel-in-distress,'" said the third officer, "when she helped you fight the monster?"
"Yeah," said the fourth officer. "She may be a little girl and her fairy, but even they surprised us when we saw them save you and defeat the monster!"
"Do it," I demanded to the officers.
"Right," replied the officers.
The police-men went to Cream and Cheese, as one of them said, "Don't worry, we'll return you home as soon as possible." Even though Cream was still crying, she and Cheese went inside one of the police-cars, as they were driven back home by the police, leaving me all alone to soak in the rain.
Who was that monster? I understood how he did it, but why would he mention my desire for power in front of my face? And the way I yelled at Cream and Cheese for nearly getting themselves killed to save my life... was Chaos not lying about my distrust to my friends?
