Sorry I've been slow with updates, but I've been stacking a lot on my plate lately. I will be almost nonexistent on here as I'm working on two novels on DeviantArt so they can be critiqued. Please Review. I do not own anything except the plot and OC characters.
Chapter 6: Appearance and Disappearance
The fireball dispersed the snow and wind brightening up the area which made the inhabitants come out to investigate.
"What's going on?" questioned one.
"The blizzard's gone." replied another.
"Who are these people?" inquired a different inhabitant.
"Look! Over there!" someone shouted drawing everyone's attention.
Everyone turned and saw a hedgehog shaped figure approaching them.
"Run! It's Dark Fire!" screamed an inhabitant.
The people rushed back into their home as Sonic stepped into the village.
"What's up?" said the hedgehog as he waved at them
"Sonic." The girl hedgehog rushed towards him with her arms wide open.
Amy crashed against Sonic's chest and hugged him.
"Yo. You're crushing me Amy." The hedgehog attempted to pull her away from himself, but she clunged on like glue.
"Unbelievable. She's getting on my nerves. How am I going to fight the Metarex like this?" thought Sonic as he continued to struggle with her.
"I was so worried. Where were you?" spoke the girl hedgehog as she was rubbing her face into his chest.
The hedgehog finally managed to get her off as he said, "Searching for the Metarex base. I managed to locate it."
"That's great. Then we can rescue Talu." spoke Cosmo's daughter.
"Excuse me?" Sonic threw a dirty look in her direction, but no one noticed except for her.
"Oh. That's right. You wouldn't know him." said Amy.
"Why did the villagers run calling him Dark Fire?" wondered Rogue aloud.
"That's a good question." spoke the echidna.
"Talu. Where's Talu?" The woman came running towards them searching desperately for signs of her sons.
"We're sorry. Vampria took him." replied Starlight unable to look her in the face.
"My poor boy." she said as tears formed streaking down her face.
"Don't worry. We'll get him back." spoke Cream.
"Choo. Choo." agreed the chao.
"The blizzard. How did it disappear?" asked the woman as she looked up into the clear sky.
"Sonic dispersed it with his flames." answered the girl bat indicating to the said person.
"Flames?" she questioned as she looked to who Rouge was pointing to.
The woman flinched at the sight of Sonic, but she didn't run.
"I see. You have Dark Fire's resemblance." she stated plainly.
"Who's Dark Fire?" inquired Knuckles.
"He's like your friend here, but black fur as dark as the night and eyes empty of emotion." responded the woman as the rest of the villagers returned back into the open.
"What else do you know about him?" asked the hedgehog.
"He seems to be enemies with Vampyria. Though both attack the village, Vampyria isn't as violent. He only ever attacks one person. Dark Fire tries to destroy the whole village. Both are dangerous." she replied staring at the the villagers who came out.
"I've never heard of this. Who's copying me?" thought Sonic as he became lost in his thoughts not noticing that the girl hedgehog had once again clinged to him.
"But that Metarex…he must have been lying to me. There is someone else who has the mutation, but who?" thought Cosmo's daughter.
"Has he been showing?" questioned the echidna.
"No actually. He hasn't appeared in a long time. Still he has been known to torment people." answered the woman.
"We need to find out who this is." said the hedgehog.
"Shouldn't we first stop Vampyria?" inquired the girl rabbit.
"Choo?" Cheese tilted its head to one side.
"But Vampyria and Dark Fire are enemies. Wouldn't it be better to get Dark Fire's help?" responded Amy as she loosened her grip on Sonic.
"Didn't you hear what she said? Dark Fire isn't exactly a good guy." spoke the girl bat.
"Wait. You're planning to stop Vampyria and 'these Metarex?'" said the inhabitant interrupting their conversation.
"Yeah. Sonic already found where they are." spoke the plant girl.
"Then please take us. This is our home." said the woman and the others shouted their consent.
"I don't know." spoke Starlight as she looked to the her companions, but someone already spoke on their behalf.
"You'll be a hindrance." said the hedgehog shoving the girl hedgehog aside.
"Sonic." spoke Amy looking hurt both from his words and actions.
"It's best you stay here and twiddle your thumbs while we actually get some real work down." said Sonic ignoring what everyone's reactions.
"Sonic!" exclaimed the girl hedgehog reaching out to him.
He was already gone in a burst of speed and flames leaving them alone again.
"That jerk." spoke Knuckles.
"He could have been nicer." said Cream.
"Choo." The chao nodded its head in agreement.
"I'm sorry about his behavior." spoke Cosmo's daughter looking to the inhabitant.
"Why is he acting like this? Running off, leaving us behind…does Sonic really not want to have anything to do with us?" thought Amy as stared at the direction he ran.
The echidna activated his communication device and asked, "Tails. Chris. What do you think?"
"It sounds like Sonic wants to protect them." replied Tails after conversing with the boy.
"How did you pull all that?" Rouge raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms.
"Do the villagers look like they can fight?" Chris appeared on the screen.
They turn to face the inhabitants before answering, "You got a point."
"You would have to worry about protecting them when you reach the Metarex base." said the two-tailed fox.
"I guess you're right." spoke the girl hedgehog.
"But we can't let you fight for us. This is our problem. Our home. There must be something that can be done." interruped the woman and the others nodded.
"I think I've got an idea. Get everyone to the Blue Typhoon." said the boy.
"Roger."
