Chapter 17: The Missing
Ash waited for Gary to awaken. He never did and it upset him greatly. Why wasn't he there for his boyfriend when he was attacked? It was just like that time when they were younger...
"I'm sorry Gary…" Ash apologized for the eleventh time, "If I was just there, then you wouldn't be in this condition. I'm sorry!"
Just saying 'sorry' wouldn't wake the researcher from his slumber. Ash knew this and rested his head on the capsule. He prayed that Gary would wake up soon. He was starting to get cold in the hidden room.
Unknown to the trainer, the Valefor statue's eyes were glowing yellow.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHAOS EMERALDS?" Knuckles literally screamed.
Pit covered his ears and groaned. It was bad enough that Sonic panicked over five emeralds disappearing, but for Knuckles to yell about it too was equally annoying.
"I TOLD YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM!" Knuckles yelled, "WHY DO YOU THINK I ENTRUSTED THEM TO YOU AND SHADOW?"
Hoshi-Tsuki flew over to the red echidna and bit him on the shoulder.
"Shut up!" Fox shouted. He knew from experience that Knuckles was dangerous when he was mad…maybe even more dangerous than Shadow, "It's not right to take it out on Sonic!"
Sonic was cowering behind Pit. Who wouldn't hide from an angry Knuckles?
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DANGER SONIC PUT US IN WITH FIVE OF THOSE EMERALDS GONE!"
Sonic frowned as Pit glared at the echidna.
"IF WHOEVER TOOK THEM TAKES THE LAST TWO EMERALDS, THEN THE WORLD WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER!"
"As if it already isn't…" Pit mumbled. It was making more since though. If Li had all of the emeralds, then he would be able to take on Heaven easily. However…
"There's still two Chaos Emeralds left…" Sonic mumbled.
Knuckles calmed down when Sonic showed him the dark blue emerald that he kept around.
"Where is the other one?" Knuckles asked.
"Shadow has the green one," Sonic answered.
Knuckles sighed with relief, "As long as Shadow has one of them, the world is safe."
Hoshi-Tsuki was prepared to bite the echidna again for suggesting that Sonic didn't have the power to protect the emerald he had. If Fox had his gun, then he would have shot him.
"We should start searching for them," Pit suggested.
"And how are we going to find them?" Knuckled questioned.
Pit smiled, "Snake."
Snake wasn't in his room sadly. Oh no, he was too busy chasing after a certain star and black hedgehog for stealing his firearms to blow up a certain part of the mansion. The good thing though was that he lost them and headed back to his room eventually.
Snake noticed the angel and the two animals and stood up straight, "What is it now?"
"We need your help," Pit said simply.
"…What do you want?"
"Let's just say we're getting tired of our stuff being stolen and we were wondering if you could help us track down the thief."
"What's in it for me?"
Pit grinned as he took out an album of his tunic. Sonic looked at him wondering where the hell did he get that but that was just one of the things he wasn't supposed to find out.
"This is an album full of Samus pictures with and without her suit throughout all three seasons," Pit explained in a rather seductive tone, "If you help us get what was taken from us, I'll give you this."
Sonic was bewildered. Since when did Pit carry something that had Samus in it? Wasn't he straight? Or did he steal that from her room?
Snake wasn't the type to be easily bribed, but this deal that Pit struck was something he would not turn down!
"You got yourself a deal," Snake finally said.
"I was hoping you would say that," Pit said with a grin.
As Snake walked off to instantly start the search, Sonic turned toward the angel and had to ask, "Where did you get that?"
"The Smash Porn website. People have pictures of Samus from all three seasons and let me tell you, her breasts get bigger every year."
"-sweatdrop- How come I never see you on the website?"
Pit sighed, "You're too young to understand."
Midna glanced at Li and sighed.
"Was it okay to ask him to take the Chaos Emeralds?" she asked, "I could have easily taken it."
Li shook his head, "It's more fun to see a Smasher betray his own kind then to have you do it. It's more obvious."
"But I don't see how stealing these emeralds are going to tear Pit and Sonic apart."
Li grinned evilly, "It will work. Pit will snap eventually."
In the end, Pit allowed Snake to do all the searching. He wanted to do something else like figure out who Li was possessing. It could be anyone in the mansion.
The only one I can think of that Li could possess is Ganondorf. He is the only one with a dark enough heart that Li can instantly take over.
"Pit."
The angel glanced at the hedgehog. He followed him despite Knuckles joining Snake to search for the Chaos Emeralds. It irritated him greatly because Sonic was all concerned over the Chaos Emeralds being stolen and here he was staying by his side.
"Yes Sonic?"
"Umm…aren't you going to help?"
Pit smiled at the hedgehog but deep down he wanted to punch him. He shouldn't be asking him that question.
"I will. I...just want to be alone for a bit."
Sonic looked at the angel with worry. For some reason he knew that he was lying but dare not question him.
"…I'll go back to the room."
"You do that," Pit said in a slightly irritated tone.
Sonic smiled sadly as he raced back to the room. Pit didn't look at him and instead just continued to stare at the ceiling ignoring Fox's and Hoshi-Tsuki's presence. The two decided to stay with the angel afraid that he might do something stupid.
Li, why are you doing this? Is it because we forgot about you? ...We didn't Li…if only you knew how much Isaak and I had to go through…
Once Sonic reached the room, he silently closed the door behind him. He stared at the floor and frowned. Pit was mad at him after all.
"Now what?" Sonic asked himself.
The blue hedgehog walked over to his desk and checked the drawer. While the Chaos Emeralds were taken, the rings that he wore were still in here. A certain ring was kept in his drawer and wasn't taken to his relief.
The ring was very special that none of his friends knew about. It allowed him to call a certain genie named Shahra. While she did betray him at the end, she still saved his life. Sonic still considered her as a friend and kept the ring in case he wanted to call her again. He wasn't the type of person to wish for things that he could obtain by perseverance. In the situation he was in now, it seemed like he had no choice but to call her again.
He placed the ring on his finger and he was just about to rub it when he stopped. He quickly turned around. Someone was in the room.
"Whose there?"
There was no response. Instead, the room was filled with dead silent. Sonic trembled. Something bad was going to happen.
As quick as he thought that though, someone came up behind him and covered his mouth.
What the hell?
"You're mine now…" said the voice.
Before the hedgehog could react, the figure sucker punched him on the head knocking him out. The last thing that Sonic thought was breaking Pit's promise again.
I'm sorry Pit…
Pit felt his heart skip a beat. Something was definitely wrong.
"Pit, is there something wrong?" Fox questioned.
"Sonic!"
Pit rushed back to his room only to find it empty. His eyes widened.
NO! I was so stupid to leave him alone!
Fox looked at Pit confused, "What's wrong?"
"Sonic's gone!"
"WHAT?"
"Did you not notice? Sonic wouldn't leave the room after he said that he would stay in here! Li took him!"
Fox clenched his fist. Hoshi-Tsuki fluttered around the room hoping to find evidence that Sonic wasn't in the room yet. There were no evident. The only evidence that Sonic was taken was the drawer that was left opened.
"Now what?" Fox asked.
Pit looked at the floor. He had no choice but to search for Sonic himself if he had to. He was more important than the Chaos Emeralds.
Snake got some information for Lyn about the missing items. Apparently, Pit's stuff and the Chaos Emeralds weren't the only things taken. It seemed that some food and items that belonged to the assist trophies were taken as well. It was obvious that Li and the thief were two different people.
"Also," the female swordsmen began, "Some Smashers that haven't been captured by Li are missing as well."
"What do you mean?" Snake questioned.
"From what I heard, Ganondorf cannot be found. Neither can Link, Luigi or Kirby-"
As soon as she mentioned Kirby though, the pink puffball ran passed them with Meta Knight chasing him shouting for the Star Warrior to give back Galaxia.
"I guess Kirby is taken off the list…" Lyn said with a sigh.
Snake was thoughtful about the others though. Ganondorf was more than likely to be in the dark part of the mansion where he and Bowser stayed. Luigi was probably out running errands or hiding in some closet. As for Link…it worried him slightly.
"Thank you for your cooperation Lyn," he told her.
Lyn sighed, "Don't mention it. Now if you excuse me, I have a certain duty to attend to."
"Which is?"
There was an explosion in the assist trophy area.
"That star…is going to die if I find that my room is destroyed…" she mumbled in a threatening tone as she rushed to her room.
Snake shook his head. Women were very scary animals indeed.
Pit ran through the hallways. He bumped into Ike and fell on his bottom.
"Pit, what's the rush?" Ike questioned as he helped the angel up.
"Ike…Sonic's gone…" Pit said in a worried tone, "Li might have gotten to him."
Ike was surprised, "Weren't you with him?"
"I was…before he went back to our room."
Ike grunted as he faced the opposite direction, "I'll help."
Pit smiled faintly, "Thanks Ike…"
Somewhere in Heaven that wasn't at the gates where Isaak was sending those who died that didn't have any money back to Earth were at Palutena's palace. Pepper searched the halls thick and thin looking for the ice angel. She couldn't find him anywhere.
"Pepper," Himeno began, "Have you seen Mcenche?"
Pepper shook her head, "If I knew where he was, I would have sick Chobi on him already."
Himeno said nothing, "Speaking of Chobi, where is he?"
"He's playing with the clouds. I'm surprised he hasn't fallen to Earth yet."
"I think that's where The Cold Hearted Prince is."
Pepper and Himeno jumped back upon seeing Roger behind them.
"Don't scare us like that Roger!" Pepper shouted, "I almost had a heart attack!"
"You can't have one at that age."
"-red vein- Yes you can!"
"Then you should exercise."
"How rude!"
Himeno sighed as she calmly broke up the fight between the two. She prayed that Mcenche wasn't doing something stupid.
Sure enough, he was. He was on the streets of New York. It was late at night. People were driving over the speed limit in a very narrow street. Mcenche decided that he would stand in the middle of the road hoping they would stop for him. Most stopped for him and then shouted at him to move out of the way.
Why am I here? Mcenche asked himself.
Mcenche got his answer when a truck was zooming his way. The ice angel looked at the truck and within seconds was gone. The driver stepped on the brakes when he thought that he hit the ice angel. Upon seeing no one there he asked himself, "What did I hit?"
What he hit was an ice sculpture of a police man eating a donut. The sculpture was hit in the middle resulting in the top half falling to the ground. Mcenche appeared behind the truck.
"Stupid driver…" Mcenche mumbled bitterly.
People were screaming at the scene before him mainly because of the ice sculpture. Mcenche sighed. Nobody cared that he did a Matrix like move.
Someone suddenly tapped him on the back.
"So this where you were."
Mcenche glared at the person behind him, "What do you want Sun-Wong?"
"To take you back," the vice captain said with a sigh, "Us royal bodyguards need to discuss something important."
"Dochira ga fukuma rete imasu?"
"Don't know. Isaak does though. Let's go!"
Mcenche couldn't say anything because the two fled the scene. When they were out of sight, both spread there wings and flew back to Heaven.
Me: TBC with 2622 words.
Yohko: Why so short?
Me: This chapter along with 18 is suppose to be short. Chapter 19 will be the long one. So be happy for fast updates! Notes!
1. This is reference to a mission that Pit and Isaak went on similar to Pit and Aqua's mission. In this mission, they went to a dead city without Palutena's permission to leave Angel Land to search for this witch that could bring Li back to life.
2. Shahra the Genie is a character Sonic and The Secret Rings. She was the genie that summoned Sonic into the book and started calling him 'Master' until the very end of the game where she betrays him for the bad guy but she sacrifices herself for betraying him and is very upset when Sonic wishes to bring her back to life. The ending is Sonic wishing for a bunch of handkerchiefs for her to use since she would be crying for a while. That's where the game ends, but Sonic keeps the ring in this story in case he needed her again. Expect her role to be very important later on which one of her importance is to keep Sonic from becoming Li's next victim.
Thank you Zelina56 for drawing the chapter 15 scene Bed Problems. It was funny and well drawn. Just don't forget Fox or Hoshi-Tsuki next time.
Please review.
I forgot to add some notes in the last chapter but nothing changed in the last chapter except a lot of grammar mistakes. This chapter is the same except Mcenche speaks Wapanese (Japanese lines in an English story). Yeah, not hard to edit at all. XD
