Amy: K-Knuckles?! What are y-you doing here?!
Knuckles: I'm here for answers..* looks at Sonic, who's still passed out* ..But by the looks of it, I'm not going to get them just yet...
Tails: What!? What answers! Did the same thing happen when he was with you? Did he go in a trance?! Did he-
Rouge: Sorry to interrupt, but we have a passed out hedgehog lying on the floor, I think we should move him to his room,we can question Knuckie later.
Knuckles: ROUGE!
Shadow: Whatever, who's going to help me carry Faker.. * picks up Sonic*
Silver: I guess I will..
Blaze: Umm, Silver, you can just use your telekinesis..
Silver: oh, right* uses telekinesis to carry sonic to his room*
They followed the Silver, and the unconscious Sonic to Sonic's bedroom. After they made sure that Sonic was safe, they left the room and stood in the hallway, all eyes fixed on Knuckles.
Tails:* closes the door* Okay Knuckles tell us EVERYTHING..
Knuckles Okay, so me and Sonic were-* tells them what exactly happened and about Sonic's "trance"*
Amy:HOW DARE YOU HIT SONIC IN THE FACE*gets really angry and pulls out hammer*
Cream:* holds onto Amy's arm*AMY! Please don't hurt Mr. Knuckles ...
Amy:*sighs and puts hammer away*
Knuckles: * whispers to Tails* Man she's scary...
Tails: *Trying not to laugh*
Amy:*glares at him* Shut up Knuckles!
Silver: OKAY! Before we destroy the place, Knuckles do you have any idea whats up with
Sonic?
Knuckles: No, all I know is that this weird symbol had something to do with his weird trance * pulls out symbol and shows his friends* He was horrified by the sight of it.
Blaze: Strange...
Shadow: I haven't seen anything like it...
Knuckles: Tails, can you analyze this or something? I think there's something Sonic hasn't been telling us.
Tails: Sure. It might also be the answer to why one of his eyes turned cyan.
Amy: I hope Sonic's alright..
Cream: * comforts her* It's OK I'm sure will be fine..
~Hours later~
Knuckles: * walks into Tail's laboratory* Hey Tails! Did you find something yet?
Tails: No, but this armor is AMAZING, come over here and take a look
Knuckles: *sighs, and walks over to see the armor* ooooooooh! Shiny! Are we done now?
Tails: Your SO funny. No, seriously, feel how strong it is-
Knuckles: Tails! I was fighting the thing! I know how strong it's armor is!
Tails: So, it's almost indestru-* Gets cut off, yet again,*
Amy: SONIC'S WAKING UP!
Knuckles and Tails rush upstairs to Sonic's room. Everyone else was there, except for Cream, just crowded around him.
Sonic:* both eyes where half closed* ugh.. Hey guys
Amy: SONIC! * runs up and hugs him*
Sonic: * gives a surprised yelp in pain*nughuh.. OUCH! AMY!
Amy quickly gets off of him. Sonic then lifts up the covers, reveling strange black markings on his chest. Everyone gasped.
Tails: S-Sonic, what did you- h-how did you, w-where did you..
Sonic: Calm down Tails! It's okay! I'm fine!
Shadow: Faker did you see the markings on your chest, we saw you cry out in pain, you can't expect us to believe you.
Sonic: No, seriously guys! I'm fine * gets up and tries to leave*
Knuckles;* blocks the doorway* You may be fine, but you still need to give us answers
Sonic: w-what do you mean?
Silver: Why you went into the trance-like state in the first place, and, why you were scared of this symbol* pulls out the armor*
Sonic: * eyes widen, and stares at the symbol in fear* W-Where d-did you get that?
Shadow: Why are you so scared of it in the first place? Relax dude, it's just a symbol.
Sonic: It's not the symbol I'm scared of... It's who...it..belongs to, and what it means.
Tails: W-What d-does it mean S-Sonic?
Sonic: Death...
Rouge: A-Are you sure? H-How do you know, why does it mean d-death?
Sonic: * eyes clouded with grief and sadness* because...
Blaze: because, what?
Sonic:*takes a deep breath* that symbol* another breath* was on... the .. knife.. that... killed..
Silver: Who!?WHO!?
Sonic: * deep breath* Who killed... my.. b-brother...
Everyone gasped, and then was silent. Sonic never spoke of his past, or his family for that matter. They had asked him so many times, but he either ran off, or pretended like he didn't hear them. Now they knew why, or at least thought they did. But, even though they thought Sonic was sad that his sibling was MURDERED, they still couldn't help the feeling that there was more to Sonic's perhaps dark, childhood. They pushed that thought aside. Their question about the symbol had been answered, sort of. Now came their second question, about the trance. Maybe this will also help them understand his childhood.
Knuckles: S-so * clears his throat to stop stuttering* So, what about the trances?
Sonic: Just.. lost..memories... * starts walking through the door*
Blaze: Wait! What do you mean by-* Sonic runs out the door*
Sonic made it out of there just in time. As soon as he got about 4 miles away from the house, he started to cry. He felt guilty of lying to his friends about the symbol. But what else could he say? It would be to hard to explain it to them, for it held some of his worse memories. Remembering his brothers so called death, or so it seemed to him. His brother was still alive, if being a mindless slave is considered living. He had been forced to fight him so many times. More tears filled his eyes as memories came back of his.. childhood. It was all tragic and sad, he just never liked to think about it. And his markings reappearing on his chest, his right eye returning to it's natural color, cyan. He all knew what this meant, it meant the day he had been dreading all these years, was finally coming.
