Chapter 10 True Feelings
Jumper and Flare watch Blaze as she just stare at the window and stroke her stomach. "so how far are you?" spoke Jumper as he sat near the window. "what do you mean?". "your carrying Sonics baby". Blaze quickly stare at Breeze and fire slowly cover her. "h-hold on! I didn't t-tell anyone! I swear Blaze!". "calm down Blaze! I just guess…I can't believe I was right" laugh Jumper. "…its only been six days…since…well when we…" said Blaze as she blush. "okay! We got it. Anyway does he know?". Blaze turn away and Jumper was confuse. "…let me explain" spoke Breeze after she did a sigh.
Meanwhile Freeze found Sonic in his room. "what's wrong with you? You acted so cold back there". Sonic sat on his bed and turn away. "Sonic…are you okay?". Sonic turn to Freeze and smile. "I'm fin-". Suddenly, Freeze push Sonic on to the bed and spoke as she pin him down. "why do you have to smile? Acting like everything is fine between you and Blaze, but you know its hurting you inside. You don't always have to put a strong face for others. I want to be there for you. You can always count on me to look for a shoulder to cry on Sonic". "Freeze…" said Sonic as he started cry. "let it all ou-". all of a sudden, Sonic kiss Freeze on the lips. Sonic broke the kiss. "…sorry. I just…". Freeze put her finger on Sonics lips and kiss his forehead. "its okay". Freeze started to take her clothes off in till only her underwear was left. Sonic watch as she took it off. Suddenly Sonic thought about Blaze and how wonderful it was when they did it. "…no! I'm with Freeze now!" thought Sonic to himself as he kiss Freeze.
Freeze woke up and saw it was dark outside. She then turn to Sonic and saw him fast asleep. "I'll be back soon…" said Freeze as she kiss him on the cheek. Freeze put on her clothes and exited the room and headed to the hanger bay. There she open the door and jump out of the ship and ran to the city. Unaware to Freeze, Espio came out of his stealth mode. "where is she going?".
Meanwhile, Sonic woke up and realize Freeze was gone. Sonic got out of bed and put his shoes on and left the room. Sonic found his way to the med-wing and thought about Blaze again. Sonic took in a deep breath and enter. Sonic saw Breeze asleep at her desk and in the far corner, Blaze was sitting in her bed. "hi Blaze…". "Sonic! W-what brings you?" said Blaze as she became worried. Sonic sat across from her and cough. Blaze just look down at her hands for awhile till Sonic spoke. "Blaze…I still lo-". "stop Sonic…please don't say it" said Blaze as she turn away from him. "but why?". "Because of Freeze…". Sonic frown and all of a sudden, Marine came screaming in the room. "SONIC!". Breeze jump and fell on her butt. "what! Who! Where!". Sonic stood up and walk over to Marine. "what's wrong Marine?". "Freeze has gone to the city by herself!". "what! Why? Shadow is still around". "I don't know but Espio is following her. He just report in to Jet a few minutes ago". "okay! Tell the others I'm going to get her!". "I'm coming too…" spoke Blaze as she got out of bed. Sonic turn to her and caught her as she fell. "no! your staying here". Sonic place Blaze back in her bed and dash off. Marine and Breeze saw Blaze getting out of her bed and limping to the exit. "hey mate! Sonic said-". "like I listen to him!". Marine and Breeze both sigh at the same time and follow Blaze.
Freeze finally made it to the park and saw Shadow leading on a broken tree. "you came" spoke Shadow as he walk up to her. "lets get to the point! Why are you giving me the emerald?". "even if Sonic and I are enemies now…I can't keep watching him suffer as he lives in that form. Here!". Shadow toss the green chaos emerald to Freeze feet. "…thank you" said Freeze as she pick up the emerald. "no problem". Shadow turn around and was about to leave but Freeze stop him. "Shadow!". "don't bother! Nothing you say will bring me back to your side". "I was just going to say that Rouge miss you. that's it". Shadow turn his head and smile. "tell her I miss her too". just then a wormhole appear and a cloak figure came walking out. "Pain!" said Shadow as he step back. Pain walk over to Shadow and spoke. "Nazo knew you do something like this. Good thing he order me to follow you". Pain turn to Freeze and spoke. "I been watching you. Your Sonic girl aren't you". "yeah so?". Pain smile as she walk over to Freeze but a throwing star hit the ground in front of her. Just then Espio landed in front of Pain. "I won't let you touch her!". Pain eyes started to glow red and a symbol appear within it.
Sonic search the city but couldn't find Freeze anywhere in till he saw a red glow coming from the park. As Sonic reach the park, he found Espio bleeding from his shoulder as he lay on the ground knock out. He also found Freeze next to a tree as she held her deep cut on her shoulder. "Freeze!" said Sonic as he ran to her side. Just then Shadow and Pain appear in front of Sonic. Sonic quickly jump back. "Shadow! Fight him! If you kill him then I won't report this to Nazo" order Pain. Shadow said nothing to Pain and took off his rings. "you better run Sonic! You can't beat me!". Sonic did a grin as he did his battle pose. "you think you can fight me as an equal? Come back in 2000 years! Now FALL!" yelled Shadow as he charge at Sonic. Sonic quickly was about punch Shadow but was surprise to see him vanish. "above!" scream Freeze. Sonic look up in time to see Shadow stab him with a chaos spear. The spear pierce Sonic shoulder and blood came shirking out. Sonic fell to his knees as Shadow slowly pulled the spear out. "Sorry Sonic but you lose to me and will die here!" spoke Shadow as he fully took out the spear and jump back. Sonic grab his wound and felt the warm blood running down his hand and arm. Freeze could only gasp in shock as what happen to Sonic. Pain just stood far behind Shadow and did nothing. "that's what's known as difference in power! Now to end this!". Shadow rose his spear and pointed it at Sonic. "Sonic now knows there a difference in their strength…it made him realize that he has no chance, and now he will back down before its too late…that was my hope. But Sonic would never give up because he'll do anything for his friends…even if it means dying…" thought Freeze to herself. Shadow dash over to Sonic while he's still on his knees. "if you can still move, Sonic! Then run!" scream Freeze as she jump on Shadow. Shadow tried to get Freeze off but just then, Sonic stood back up and stare at Shadow. Both Shadow and Freeze was in shock but Shadow quickly snap out of it and toss Freeze off. "should of have known. You'll never give up. Well then, fight hard and die!" smile Shadow as he put his spear on his shoulder. "Sonic! If you can stand, then get away! Run!" yelled Freeze. Just then Freeze could feel something coming from Sonics body. "if you won't attack, then I will!". Shadow dash over to Sonic and was about to stab him in the chest in till a dark aura appear and surround Sonic and release a powerful shockwave. Shadow was push back and realize Sonic was using that dark power again. "so he's using his dark powers…but something's different this time" said Pain as she just stood there unaffected by the shockwave. "Dark Super Sonic…" whisper Freeze. Sonic fur was still the same and the only sign of him going into Dark Super Sonic was the black aura. All of a sudden, Sonic dash right pass Shadow and turn around to see Shadow chest and back bleeding. Shadow turn around and saw Sonic use his Sonic Wind and blasted Shadow away. Shadow landed and drop to his knees. "what's wrong Shadow? Your getting slow all of a sudden" smile Sonic. "dumbass! You just got faster!…wait! Doesn't he realize he's using his dark power?" thought Shadow. Shadow use chaos blast on Sonic but Sonic just deflected it with just one hand and started to attack Shadow with his punches. "Shadow is being over power…but Sonic is different from before when he use dark super Sonic. He's still himself" whisper Freeze. Shadow was hit in the face and was toss. Shadow rose up to his knees and saw Sonic summoning a sword made from his dark aura and swing it at Shadow. In a flash, Shadow and Sonic was in shock. Sonics blade was cut. "what? Did Shadow did something…no…wait! Did she?" thought Sonic as he turn to Pain. "…no. she all the way over…what!" thought Sonic as he saw Pain holding his sword blade. Pain drop the blade and walk over to Sonic. "she's coming!" thought Sonic as he defend himself. In a blink of a eye, Pain walk right pass Sonic. Pain stop and turn her head. Sonic just should there and look down at his body. Soon a large cut appear on his chest as blood came shooting out. "…what just happen now? Did she attack me? I can't even tell if I was hit from the back…or the front" thought Sonic to himself as he fell forward to the ground. Pain red eyes disappear and was about to finish him off till Nazo appear. "m-master!" spoke Pain as she bow. "don't finish him yet Pain. I want to fight him". "yes my master!". Nazo quickly saw that Sonic was losing a lot of blood. "great. He's going to die of blood lost". "forgive me my master!". "its okay Pain". Nazo then turn to Freeze and smile. "Pain! Shadow! Take the girl. Sonic won't surrender to death knowing that one of his friends is being kidnap". "yes!" said Shadow. Just then Freeze ran over to Sonic but Shadow stop her. "let me go Shadow!". "I'm sorry but I can't!". "…its my fault…I should've never come here! Please let me go to his side!". "Let her!" spoke Nazo. Shadow let Freeze go and watch as she ran to Sonic side. Freeze place her hand on Sonics face and felt his cold skin. "Sonic…the reason I came out here was for this". Freeze took out the green emerald and place it on Sonics back. Soon the other six emeralds appear and in a white flash, Sonic return to his normal blue hedgehog self. Suddenly the green emerald hover into the air and went over to Nazo, who toss it back to Shadow. Nazo open a wormhole and walk over to Sonic. Shadow pick up Freeze and move her out of the way. "don't die boy! You told me once that your story ends when you stop running. Your legs are still working…run away from the light and return to the world of the living". Nazo turn and was about walk off till Sonic grab his leg. "I didn't k-know how much y-you care…" smile Sonic. Nazo turn his head and smile as well. "let go!" said Nazo as he turn away from Sonic. "I can't hear you. Look at me when your talking!". "Soni-" said Freeze as she suddenly saw Nazo hand glowing with black energy. "I see…you don't need that arm then". all of a sudden, Freeze kick Sonic arm away from Nazo leg. "huh?". Sonic look up and saw Freeze. "w-what're you doing, Freeze?". "you better learn your place!" yelled Freeze. Sonic look on in shock as Freeze turn away from him. "lets go". "what! Wait! Stop!" yelled Sonic as he struggle to get up. Just then Shadow step on Sonic head and knee down to Sonic and whisper. "you can save her now. Look at you. You can't beat all three of us". just then thunder could be heard as dark storm clouds appear. Hearing this open Sonic eyes and he became quiet. "don't finish him off Nazo. Leave him be and he will eventually die on his own" said Freeze as she walk pass Nazo. "so be it". the dark energy vanish from his hand and he walk up to the wormhole. "Freeze! Stop! Look at me!". Sonic was about to crawl but Freeze spoke. "Don't move! Take even one step…or try to come after me…I'll…". Sonic watch as Freeze turn around and saw a tear running down her cheek. "…I'll…I will never forgive you!". "Freeze…". "your eventually going to die…so why not stay there and live, even if just a few seconds longer…". Sonic said nothing as he look down to the ground. Soon it started to rain as Pain and Shadow jump into the wormhole. "I can't speak…I can't move…" thought Sonic to himself as he watch Freeze jump into the wormhole and Nazo follow. Soon the wormhole vanish. "I was protected…again…from saving someone…first it was Sara and now Freeze…". Sonic slam his fist on the wet ground. A few minutes later and the rain started to fall harder. "it hurts. My body feels heavy…". soon Sonic close his eyes. Just then a search light hit Sonic without him knowing. "…I feel cold…" said Sonic. Soon footsteps could be heard as they arrive to Sonic. "…what? I feel so warm now…". Sonic open his eyes and saw Blaze in front of him. Soon Sonic pass out.
