Strike stared at his son in shock. By now, Sonic's blood had stained his blue fur, and he was fighting to stay awake. Luna and Scourge ran up to him with tear in their eyes. While Dark Sonic was fighting, Strike had regained consciousness and helped Luna and Scourge the best he could. Now they had stopped losing blood and their faces regained their natural color. They were shaking Sonic trying to keep him awake and conscious.
Luna: * crying softly* Come on Sonic, stay awake, please stay awake..
Scourge: Please brother..
Sonic: I-I... ca...n't...
Sonic passed out from blood loss and from pain. Without a word, Strike picked up his son and carried him back to the palace. Luna insisted she stay at the palace until Sonic woke up and she wouldn't leave until she knew Sonic was alright.
Younger Sonic's P.O.V?:Sonic?
?: Come on Sonic, wake up..
Those voices sounded awfully familiar. It took me a second but I then recognized them. Luna and Scourge. I slowly began to open my eyes. A black and green figure were watching over me. As my eyes focused, Luna and Scourge came into view. Luna's eyes were red from crying I guessed and Scourge looked extremely worried. I tried to move but a sharp pain in my back told me that wasn't the best idea. I looked at the bandages wrapped around my stomach and my back. More bandages covered Luna's and Scourge's arms.
Sonic: w-what ..happened?
Scourge: You were shot by the demons.. you passed out and we took you back here.
Luna: You've been asleep for almost 3 days!
Sonic: Three days?!
Scourge: But at least you're awake now.
Nobody's P.O.V
Spirit walked into the room and to her relief, saw that her son was awake. She was still very mad at him for letting Sonic and Scourge go fight in the war, and for letting them go off on their own. He had tried to tell her something but she wouldn't listen to him. She just sat beside her son, in the three days, she had almost never left his side. It was like if she left him alone for one minute, someone would take her boy. She was very protective, just like any mother.
Spirit: Sonic, you're awake!
Sonic: Hi Mom..
Spirit: Let's see how your wound is doing..*takes off bandages*
Spirit:*gasps* Your cuts gone!
Scourge: No way! Dad said you got shot by a bullet! It takes at least a couple weeks for something like that to heal!
Blaze: How do you heal so fast?
Sonic: I'm half demon remember?
Tails: Demons heal fast?
Sonic:Yeah, about 18x faster than normal.
Knuckles: Aren't demons immortal as well?
Sonic: Yeah, but only some of them, I'm immortal in a way. That's why the bullet didn't kill me. I also am supposed to stop aging when I'm 25. But I don't like referring to myself as immortal.
Shadow: Is there anything that I have that you don't !?
Sonic: Jealous much?
Spirit: Strike! Sonic's cuts gone!
Strike: *thinks* Of course it is ,he's half demon.. *walks into room* That's great! Honey, we need to talk.
Sonic: Can I go outside? I'm better now..
Spirit: Of course you -
Strike: NO ! Spirit, we need to talk now..
Sonic and Scourge cringed at their father's sudden anger. He never raised his voice, unless they were in trouble or weren't listening. They watched as their mother and father went downstairs. They tried to find something to do but there was nothing. Sonic thought that maybe his dad had calmed down a little and went downstairs to go find him.
Sonic: Dad?
He heard a muffled argument coming from behind the door. He leaned his sensitive ear up against the door. He recognized his mother and his father's voices.
Strike: I'm telling you he's one of them ...
Spirit: How could this be!?
Strike: We have to do something before he discovers more of his powers! He'll over throw us and take over the kingdom!
Spirit: Sonic's our son, half demon or not. He has a good heart, he would never do such a thing and you'll never convince me that he will !
Strike: He has to be eliminated before he becomes even more of a threat!
Spirit: Are you saying you're going to kill him!? Are you insane!?
Strike: we'll kill him in his sleep, his death will be quick and painless.
Knuckles: I-I take that back... you're nothing like your father..
Sonic:*sad smirk* Yeah, but I can kind of understand why he wanted to kill me...
Amy: HOW COULD HE EVEN CONSIDER KILLING HIS SON!?
Sonic: The half-demon that lived before me, Toxic, took side with the demons. She over threw the royal family and led what was called "the dark ages". Children were enslaved and women and men were often tortured just for her entertainment. Finally, she was defeated and killed by my father and my mother. That's how they became royalty. A half-demon is more powerful than anything else that has ever lived. My father thought I would become something like her.
Blaze: Now I see why you didn't like talking about your past...
Sonic: Yeah, can we go back now?
Everyone except Sonic: NO!
Sonic: Why are you guys so interested in it anyway?
Shadow: Shut up and watch.
Younger Sonic's eyes filled up with tears. His father wanted to..to kill him! His mother mentioned he was half demon? How was that possible? Then he remembered the story of Toxic. He shuddered at the thought, he, was like.. her? NO WAY! He would never do something like that!
Spirit: I will not allow you to kill our son!
Strike: And I will not have my kingdom be run by a blue freak!
The name "blue freak" made both Sonic's cringe. Present Sonic had heard that name way too often for his liking. His ears flattened themselves against his spoke through clenched teeth in a low and angry voice, his eyes full of hatred.
Sonic: ugh... I ..hate..that..name...
Rouge: Why?
Sonic: Everyone called me that. Everyone thought I was the big freak of nature, a big mistake.*turns to tails* You think you're considered a freak because of your two tails, it's unusual yes, but try having bi-colored eyes and have flames and balls of energy appear randomly in your hands without you willingly allowing it.
The group fell silent. Blaze related the situation to herself when she was younger. She could barley control her flames, luckily her mother had the same power and taught her how to control and use her powers, but Sonic had no one to do that, and he had more powers than her! She could tell that when she was younger people thought she was strange, she could only imagine how strange they thought Sonic was.
Spirit: I'm not going to kill our son!
Strike: You never had a problem with killing people before...
Spirit: SHUT UP! That was long ago..
Cream: What were they talking about?
Sonic: Before my mom met my dad she was an assassin. She hid in the shadows and no one ever saw her. The only people that did, were the ones to be murdered. She was sent to kill my father but she was caught by one of Toxic's guards. My father saved her life and I guess they hung out with each other and after they defeated Toxic, fell in love.
Knuckles: Wow... is there anything about your family that is actually normal?
Sonic:*smirks* Not a chance!
