Chapter 53

A Father's Sacrifice

Sonic and Metal clashed, claws hitting claws, fangs hitting flesh or metal. Sally stood up and watched the werehog and robot werehog fight. Sonic was punched in the jaw and flew into Freedom HQ's brick wall again. He got up and looked at the wall. He some cracks starting to form in the brick and growled.

If we continue fighting here, Freedom HQ will get destroyed, Sonic thought. And Tails and NICOLE are still doing what their doing with my memories. I need to get this hunk of metal outta here!

Sonic ran over to Sally and got onto all fours. The werehog gestured to his back and Sally nodded. She understood his plan and climbed on. The robot landed in front of them and glared at Sonic. The werehog released a growl and started to run past the robot towards Mobotropolis. He ran through the small part of forest that led to the city they lived in. Sally clinging to Sonic's fur tightly as not to get thrown off. They could both hear the robot flying after them.

Sonic stopped inside the city on a street and let Sally get off his back. Once she was off he was yet again punched in the face by an outstretched robotic arm. He flew across the street and into a building. Sonic growled in anger and felt his eyes glow and his eyes slit as his anger bubbled and boiled. Sally ran over to him, but then saw him start to stand and roar at the robot. She backed away and ran to the sidewalk. Everyone inside the houses around them came out and saw the robot and werehog glaring at each other. Sonic had tried to keep his beast at bay, but the werehog thinking this duplicate was going to do something bad made him lose. The werehog wanted to destroy this machine. It wanted to see the life leave the robot's eyes. It wanted to defeat a metal monster so it can gain more power and more ... advantages.

Sonic's top lip curled back into a snarl as he got onto his fours. The robot continued glaring as Sonic charged at it. The robot kicked at him, but he dodged and lunged at the robot. Sonic jumped on the robot and pushed it onto the ground. Metal was about to punch Sonic's face again, but the werehog put a clawed hand onto the robots arms and snarled in anger. Sonic's emerald eyes glowed even more as he put his left hand on the robot's neck and dug his claws deep into the metallic neck. Metal gagged and felt the oil inside his body spurt out of his neck and onto his chest, neck and Sonic's face and hand. The robot's eyes dimmed and then turned off. Sonic growled and got off the robot before getting onto his feet and howling in victory.

Sonic's parents and Sally stared at him in horror. Sonic's nose quivered and he smelt … meat. A smile grew onto his muzzle as he turned around and got onto all fours and started to stalk towards the three. His eyes were locked on Sally and his Mother. Bernadette gasped and was about to grab Jules in an embrace, but he got in front of her and Sally.

"Jules! What are you doing?" Bernadette asked him.

"Saving you from our possessed son," he told her.

Jules took a protective stance in front of the two and Sonic snarled at him.

"Sonic, don't do this. I know you're in there somewhere. But you're too provoked to get out of your anger. But do it for us. Please," Jules begged Sonic. The werehog stopped and stared at Jules, his head tilting to one side as though he could tell he was of some relation to him, but that was shifted aside as the instinct for food came back into his head. This being smelled of meat, but not like the other two. Jules smelled more like old meat, but Sonic didn't care, he was too hungry to.

Sonic roared at his Father and they all realised something about Sonic. His back feet were shifting into paws and his little toe went up his leg along with his heel. Sonic's tail grew longer and grew furry as well. His face pushed out into a snout and his ears shifted to the side of his head. Sonic's appearance now resembled more of a wolf than a hedgehog unlike how it looked before. Sonic stood onto his hind legs, he was a few inches taller because of his new morph. He roared at Jules and threw a fist at his chest, claws glimmering in the moonlight. Jules grabbed at his son's hand and tried to stop it from going into his chest. He knew that if he allowed that to happen … Sonic and Bernadette would be heart broken. But Sonic would feel more pain as he would feel the guilt of it being his fault for letting his anger get the best of him.

Sonic roared in rage and with a new burst of strength pushed his fist into his Father's chest. Jules gasped along with Sally, Bernadette and everyone else watching. Jules' eyes widened as his Sonic's fist collided with what Jules knew was his life force. Sonic took his hand out and growled in disgust as it wasn't blood that was covering his hand. He shook it and watched as Jules' eyes dimmed and just before he blacked out, he punched Sonic. The werehog flew across the street and hit the hard brick wall that led outside. He hit his head against the wall and fell forward, unconscious.

Jules watched as Sonic fell forward and he too collapsed on the ground, "Sonic … I'm s…sorry." And with that Jules fell forward and shut down. Bernadette screamed in horror and grabbed Jules and turned him over.

"J…Jules! Jules! JULES!" Bernadette shouted at him as Sally bent down and put a hand on Bernie's shoulder. Bernadette cried into Jules' broken chest. Sally looked over at the unconscious Sonic.

"S…Sir Charles, take Mr Hedgehog and Mrs Hedgehog to the Hospital," Sally told Uncle Chuck.

"Ye…yes, Sally. But what about Sonic?" he asked, concerned about how his nephew will react. He knew that if his nephew found out about what he did he'd be heart broken as well as crushed. His spirit would be crushed and his famous smile would never show again for he'd be heart broken to lose his Dad when he'd hardly ever had one.

"I'll … take him to his house," she said and got up and walked over to Sonic. Everyone else started helping Uncle Chuck and Bernadette carry Jules' body to the hospital. Sally picked Sonic up and rested his arm around her shoulders. She heard him give a small whimper as though he knew he did something bad. Sally's expression changed to worry and sadness at her next thought.

How will Sonic take this?

Oookay. Not as good as when I dreamed about it, but at least its good enough. Another cliffhanger! Yeah, I know, but I'm still on writers block. And I don't think I did too well with the detail in the chapter as I was sorta in a rush, I guess I'm still mad that I saved my Drama essay on the school computer and not my laptop, so I can't print it off at home and IT's DUE TOMORROW! GRR! HATE YOU FORGETFUL BRAIN! Anyways I'm also doing a comic on this, so that takes up quite a bit of my short spare time. I've asked SonicxJones to upload it to her DA account. It's in a file called 'Other Sonic fanfics and art' and here's the link to it: sonicxjones2 . deviantart gallery / 40024585 . And I hope you guys can read the comic if I don't update my fics that much. So, if my fics aren't uploaded there'll still be the comic to look forward to and remember writing this and the other fics as well as drawing the comic, inking it and colouring it takes a lot of time, so don't ecpect there to be an update everyday. And then the comic's updating would have to go by when SonicxJones gets enough time to upload it. Anyways hope u enjoyed and hope u can check the comic out!

VFMH OUT!
