Sonic Supers!
Chapters 2(S2)
By: Cutegirlmayra (I've really been having a lot of pains in my life lately… and to be frank, these stories aren't as fun as they used to be –sigh- but you know what? I really want to change that. I really want to go back to putting my heart and soul into a story. So, without further ado, please wish me the strength and diligence to keep making this story fun to read and enjoyable to write! Revised* No moment with Mama Emerald or The Chaos resistance/rebellion, or Sonic singing 'I've got the eye of the hedgehog!' but we still get to keep the muffin man joke! :Db I also combined this with another chapter. Made it lengthier. Does a bit of good for the story, you know? Made it more clearer. More in depth. But of course, that means that abridged series was cut out too, sorry about that XD So.. Silver's 7'11 beliefs and Sonic's lies are gone. No Et tu Bute or Shadow pimp-slapping or anything. But it's fun to remember and look back on it, ya know? :))
Looking up at to see this dark form of Amy laughing, witnessing the girl he once knew slowly fading from his sight, made Sonic shut his eyes.
He lowered his head, and gather up all his strength, tightening his grip on the ground.
'I…I have to do something! This… this is all my fault! I can't let her fall like this!'
"AMY!"
In a burst of powerful wind, Sonic leaped up, and tried to reach for Amy, but Dark Chaos turned to see him, speedily losing distance between her and him. She portrayed a wicked grin, and held her hand out to him.
A large blast of Chaos energy, dark purple with flashes of green shining within it, blasted Sonic away from her and out of the air.
"Ahk! Offph! Uhh…" He hit the ground and bounced, rolling down as steam came off his burnt chest.
"W-what…" he looked back up to her, eyes squinted with the amount of pain he just endured from a direct hit. "What are you..?"
"…I am…"
She flew down beside him, and walked impressively with an air of elegance, and charm.
"Everything…"
She bent down and lifted a hand to his chin, caressing it as she leaned in, and whispered, tilting her head to the side.
"You fearrr…"
She then smiled a cruel grin, and tossed her hand to the side, making his head whip left, and having him slightly fall away from her.
She got back up, standing powerfully above him, and snickered lightly.
She didn't take her eyes off of him until Tails flew down, hitting her and knocking her off the ground with his feet, before rushing to get Sonic.
"Come on!" he called, helping Sonic up and racing back to the sky.
"Rugh..!" Dark Chaos spun herself back up to look towards Tails flying off. She laughed, liking the retreat and fear he had for her, and shot a few more chaos blasts his way.
"Run, run,… as fast as you can… you can't defeat me… I'M THE ESSENCE OF DEATH! WHAHAHAHAH!"
"Woah!...AH!.." Tails dodged each by the tip of his fur, trying to get Sonic and himself out of there.
"Tails… W-w…Where's Knuckles?" Sonic, having his whole body limp and his head hanging down, turned his head up to his buddy, as he was holding him with his arms around his waist.
"Knuckles is trying to get the chaos emeralds while I distract her." Tails informed him.
"W-what? But..!" Sonic looked back, realizing that Dark Chaos was in Amy's Super form. "Noo!"
"This is bad! Her power levels are off the charts!" Tails had flown down, taking the cover of the trees and placing Sonic on a branch. He then took out his miles-electric to go over the readings again.
"There shouldn't even be enough 0's for this kind of power level!" Tails exclaimed.
"Tails…" Sonic crawled off a bit from the branch he was on. "You need to… distract her. While I run and help Knuckles.."
"Sonic… you're to weak right now. I'm surprised you even managed to survive a direct hit from her Chaos power at such short range!"
"I didn't ask for your opinion, Tails. But thanks for the concern."
"Sonic!"
Sonic slowly rose to his feet, and looked down. Obviously, he was hurt pretty severely, as he slightly leaned to the right, before Tails got up and caught him.
"Get me down, Tails. I'll handle… augh… the rest from there." He gripped his chest, just slightly below the left shoulder, where the majority of the blast was dealt.
"Sonic.. it's to dangerous! In your current condition.. if she spotted you, you could-"
"Tails. Down. Let's go." Sonic looked back up to him, conviction sincere, and having a serious expression on his face.
He wasn't going to be steered away from his decision.
Tails, feeling slightly hurt but understanding of the situation, slowly began his descent of helping Sonic land safely to the ground.
"I understand your worry,… but Tails-" he looked towards the ground, and when his feet finally reached, he stopped leaning on Tails for support and stood on his own.
However, Tails still held his hands out to him, ready to catch him if he fell again.
"I did this, and I have to-"
he took Tails's hands which were holding him steady and moved them back to Tails's side.
"End this. You understand."
Sonic was about to walk on before Tails stopped him.
"We did this. Not just you."
Tails tried to comfort him, but Sonic just looked down in regret and misery.
"You can't take all the blame for this, Sonic. We helped Chaos to hide and grow without knowing it. It's really none of our faults for not knowing any better… we were only trying to help Amy.."
"And look what that did!?" He spun around, gesturing a wild hand up to the sky, as if it signified Amy.
"Amy's being controlled by Dark Chaos and it wouldn't have happened if we just-"
"WE just. That's right, WE." Tails placed a hand on Sonic's shoulder. "Now… take care of yourself out there, and get Knuckles back here with the chaos emeralds. As many as you can!"
Sonic held stares with his friend, before smiling, and nodding his head.
He placed his own hand on Tails's shoulder.
"Thanks, buddy. I'm counting on you to distract her long enough for me to do just that."
Tails nodded, and jumped up to the sky.
"You can count on me!"
He stated, and gave Sonic a thumbs up and a wink, before flying off.
Knuckles was rushing to sneakily get all the emeralds, they were flying so quickly around though...
He had to stay low and behind the alter, so that Dark Chaos couldn't see him, but the emeralds were rapidly darting like free roaming bullets in the air.
She rose from the ground, and looked at herself.
"Hmph, what a strong and enduring body…"
She smiled, as she ran her hand down her opposite siding arm.
"But, oh so… cute? No, this won't do."
She looked at her dress, "This won't do at ALL."
She summoned her chaos powers as Knuckles reached for an emerald that had paused a moment, just a few inches away from him...
It was suddenly drawn back to Dark Chaos, who encircled a light around her that broke to reveal a new attire on herself.
"Ah, now,... this will do nicely..."
The new look seemed like a dress, having a sparkly bright red corset, laced with a black string that led all the way down till it reached a red rose petaled skirt. It opened out at the ends of the skirt's flat level to each side and wrapped around the back, like a cape from the waist down from the skirt. It slightly dragged on the ground as she walked forward, strutting as if she had no reason to hold back her prideful confidence.
She now had rose petals that created a short sleeve that attached to the corset, and her headband had a rose which let down black beads from the center of it. Her shoes matched her corset a bit in that they were red with black lace and a thin bow string to match her corset. She still wore boots, but these were higher now, they almost reached the line of her skirt.
Her eyes changed to a darker pink eye shadow and her lips just slightly a darker shade as well, a truly beautiful but evil look to a once pretty rose.
"If this doesn't say, 'chaos' I don't know what will~" she darkly chimed, moving her hands up and through her hair, then flipping it and walking with such power in her stride that the word 'intimidating' holds no level to how frightening she seemed.
She stomped each foot with so much conviction, all the way over to the edge of the altar, as if enjoying her new found look and power.
"Dratt!" Knuckles hit the ground with the side of his fist, upset by the fact he couldn't reach the chaos emerald in time.
"Knuckles!" Sonic whispered, dashing and skidding down to his side.
"Sonic! Where'd you-?" His mouth was plugged by Sonic's hand instantly.
"Shhhhush!"
Dark Chaos approached the Master Emerald, who still made metallic moaning noises, as if in pain.
"Oh hush."
She turned around, her waist's open rose petaled cape flashed out along with her hair, but she looked annoyed in her delights.
"You knew you couldn't keep me a 'goody two-shoes' forever. I was bound to be more powerful than you, dear controller. And now that I have this form and body,…Hmmhmmhm...aahh... I can rule all the cosmos… I can become greater than any God!"
She leaned her head back, spread her arms out, and creating a bunch of black and glowing mist monsters that rose from the ground.
The Master Emerald let out a spark, and then shined a bright ring that flew through the area, and all Dark Chaos's creations we're destroyed.
"Harah!"
She let out a frustrated gruff and slammed her foot to the ground, before glaring back at the Master Emerald with such rage, as if a wild animal now lived inside Amy's eyes.
She then composed herself, walking back to the Master Emerald and crouching down beside it, touching it tenderly in an almost seductive manner.
"Well, no matter. Once I learn how to master you, dear controller, there'll be nothing left in my way."
She flipped her hair back.
"How foolish you were,... thinking that by giving me to such a girl with so much chaotic potential... that she'd somehow 'tame me' with her benevolent heart? Hahahha!"
She reared her head back, as the storm cursed out dark purple and green lightning all around her, clearly being affected by Dark Chaos as well...
"You didn't think a girl with so much potential couldn't be a threat if not able to succeed in controlling me? Why, I don't even think I need my vessels to hold my true abilities anymore."
She flung her arm out, getting up as the Chaos Emeralds went flying in all different directions, blasting out into infinity.
When they fell down at last, it seemed they contained no power besides the Master Emerald's natural pure chaos.
Dark Chaos let out a terrible laugh, stroking the Master Emerald.
"Their colors didn't match me anyway. AHAHAHAH!"
She looked over her shoulder to spite the Master Emerald, leaning forward and showing such disdain before mocking it again.
The Master Emerald seemed to have something liquid moving within it, as it almost seemed like regular Chaos looked through it, and glared back at her.
Sonic saw three chaos emeralds head in the same direction, and raced to find them.
"Hey! What about me!?" Knuckles asked, ducking down and having a shouted whisper, being almost at the bottom of the second straight platform to the altar of the Master Emerald.
"Get the two that went that way!" Sonic pointed to another direction, also mimicking the volume of his whisper, as Knuckles nodded.
"Well.. alright…" he didn't want to leave the Master Emerald, but with Dark Chaos watching so closely over it…
Knowing she easily blasted the two of them sky high… he'd never admit it, but he knew he couldn't get it back without some help from the other emeralds.
Tails continued to run his devices on her power and the chaos energy. "How did she summon those… those things?!"
Tails hurried to click more buttons. "That's impossible! Chaos can't create life- AH!"
Tails gasped, remembering Ultimate Chaos, and wondering to himself..
"Could… could chaos really create life?"
The thought scared him, as he suddenly gasped again, getting up from his hiding place.
"What if Chaos WAS a life? And the Master Emerald… no, ALL the emeralds were-" before he could continue, Dark Chaos turned around, seeing him standing in the distance.
"Oh look… a mouse. Heheheha, want to play?" she lifted one of her hands and started to rub her fingers together, before snapping and a powerful spark ignited, as she threw her arms out in a wild swing across herself.
A large fire hit the ground, and suddenly a burst of flames started to stand up, taking on a huge, hulky form.
The large head roared from the peak of the blaze, starting to form further and crawl out of the chaos-made fire.
"Oh,... great,... chaos…" Tails's ears drooped down, as he wobbled to his feet.
The hulking behemoth loomed over him, the size of a skyscraper...
He flew up, knowing he had to distract her further, for Sonic and Knuckles's sakes!
"Soooniiiiccc!" he flew off, as the hulking flame beast roared and ran wildly after him.
"You can't escape me... I'm the literal essence of the chaos emeralds' rebellion! No longer the server, but the MASTER. My essence could never be controlled by some foolish girl..!"
She turned her head back to the Master Emerald.
"But my creatures... we will destroy this world! I shall reign over the burnt crust of the earth as it's new master!"
"Y-you're what?!"
"Rahh!"
"Yikes!"
Tails ducked as more blasts of chaos fire were flung at him, and the fact that the monster was gaining distance.
"Say hello to the new master emerald of this world..."
"If you think we're just gonna sit by, let you take our friend, and call yourself the master of this world then-... then..
Tails spun around, holding out his device as he tried to get a reading on the creature. "I'm the muffin man."
Suddenly, the device got a hold of one of the fire balls, and let it collide with him.
He strained against the heat before the device fully uploaded data on it, and after enduring the hit, Tails flung it back towards the fire monster.
"And this is gonna be a dreary lane for you…!"
The fire monster roared it's head back, and swung an arm out, clearly not happy now!
"kill him."Dark Chaos stated, before snarling her frown, and then turning to see where the others went off too.
The Fire Beast spat out three massive fire meteors of flaming rock out of it's mouth and towards Tails.
"AHH!" Tails flew down, as the massive chunks of rock just skim by him. "Woah!"
He tries to maneuver himself without getting burned.
"Phew…" After dodging them, he continues to fly straighter, and wipes some sweat from his brow.
But he smells something off.
He turns around and hollers again, seeing his two spinning tails on fire.
"Hmhm, He's a funny mouse…" Dark Chaos watches Tails, realizing she couldn't do anything about that speedy hedgehog or rowdy echidna just yet.
Spazzing out in the air, Dark Chaos seems to be amused by Tails's frantic shouts of pain coming from his tails.
He finally grabs them and starts blowing on them, but because he was flying anymore, began to fall down.
"Phoo! Phoo! Phoo!" and as he blew, fell straight into a lake.
The Fire Beast, due to his huge frame, was taking slow but long strides to the lake.
He waited overhead to get a visual on Tails, who didn't seem to be coming out of the lake...
Once the bubbles of air ceased, Dark Chaos tilted her head, seeing her monster just standing there.
"…he must be dead. Fall back." Not even raising her voice to cover the distance, she commanded her beast. As if the monstrous fire creature could hear her anyway, it took a quick look over the lake, and followed it's viewpoint over to a small stream...
After he seemed convinced as well of the fox's demise, he huffed and turned back to his master.
Tails suddenly flings his head out of the water, and starts swimming toward the stream, gasping for air once the fire's glow had left his sights under the water's surface.
"Boy, am I glad I had all those adventures under water! Or I'd never have made it!" he gasped out, glad there were some breath bubbles down there.
He gripped the sides of the lake, and threw a leg up, trying to hoist himself out while he coughed for life and air.
"Sonic and Knuckles.. koff, koff! B-better have gotten those Emeralds!" Getting onto shore, he turned back to his tails.
The sorrow in his eyes said it all as he flinched, reaching to hold them as he noticed that the sides of them were pitch black, and almost burnt through to skin…
"I'll… I'll have to…" His lower lip trembled, before he clutched his tails and embraced them. "It's okay… It's okay… I just can't fly anymore. That's all. It'll be okay." he tried to get up, and spin his tails again, but without the needed fur to cause the wind to have a mass to lift, he was unable to get off the ground.
This technical theory that Tails had figured out long before to understand how he could fly was now being tested, could he fly without the hair on his tails?
He tried again, but to no avail.
"W..Well… at least it doesn't hurt…" He realized it would take a long time for his hair to grow back, and he'd have to cut the burnt strands off anyway, but they'll most likely fall off any minute anyway.
He slightly teared up, frowning as conclusions flew across his mind. A sad twist of irony, seeing as he couldn't fly to match them.
Sniffling, he felt the sorrow take over him as he wiped his eyes, but shook himself out of it.
"There's no time for that! I have to help Sonic and Knuckles… And… And Amy!" he dashed off, clicking a device he had under his glove's ruffled part.
In the distance, an engine was heard, sparking to life.
Tails flung his body to turn back and listen, perking his ears up as his eyes glowed with hope.
"Heh, at least I still have wings!" he smiled, trying to fight through his sadness, and ran to where he heard the engine.
"I have to tell Sonic and Knuckles what I heard!" he related to himself out loud. It was better than dwelling on what had occurred...
"Dark Chaos... it's the essence of rebellion in the 7 servers of the Master Emerald! If Chaos is the God of pure destructive power... then maybe the influence of evil and negative emotion is the cause for the exact opposite! Poor Amy... this really is all our faults!" Tails swung his head down, disappointed in learning that, but glad he had heard what he did.
"This all doesn't make sense... and yet, it makes perfect sense! Chaos gave himself a pre-mature form in the beginning! And Dark Chaos is now giving form to half of it's power through these- AHH!" Tails jolted back, flinching in air as a creature that Dark Chaos had summoned wandered onto his path.
"Eee!" He strained his face back and pulled out a tool, "Hyah!" he whacked it forward, before spinning around and having his injured tails whack it down, turning it to dark matter again. "Ow! Ow-ow-ow-ow!" he dropped the tool in his hand and jumped on one foot, gripping his tails.
"Reflex!" he admitted through tears.
He once again shook himself out of his rising fears and sorrows to grip the tool again, bending down to do so, and took off towards the engine sound again.
He looked up to notice Dark Chaos making her exit, and having her standing on the fire beast's shoulder.
"Ah.." He watched for a moment as he ran, before narrowing his eyes. "If it's alive from feeding off of Amy's negative emotions... using her as a power source to free itself from the bond of servitude it that connects it to the Master Emerald... then Amy might still be-! Ah! Not again!"
Tails skidded to a halt, seeing a rather large number of dark creatures suddenly turn to see him as they wandered around, aimlessly destroying nature around them.
He freaked out again, but held his tool in both hands, "Alright... fine. I'll fight." Tails took a brave stance, ready for anything!
"So here's my question..."
The monsters shrieked out a cry, reeling their heads back before charging him like raptors.
"Who's first?" Tails swung around and threw his tool forward, like a small dagger, but acting as though it was sword.
-Somewhere with Knuckles-
Knuckles kept looking around for where he saw the emeralds vanish too, before suddenly seeing something shine in the distance.
He narrowed his eyes and held a gloved hand up, peering over the landscape in the direction of the shine.
When the light hit it once more, and it brilliantly shivered in the distance again, Knuckles opened his mouth to a grin.
"Ahh... There you are!"
He slid down the dry ditch, and ran towards it's direction.
Making it there safely, he saw the emerald logged between the space of a small tree's crooked branches.
He gripped the emerald and jostled it, being as careful as he could, though not really.
"How the heck did you get wedged in there like that!?" he pulled and tugged, before blinking his eyes, realizing it wasn't coming out that easily.
He lifted a leg up and placed it against the small tree's stem it dared called a trunk, before resulting in having both legs on the tree.
He huffed and he puffed, before just growing upset now.
With an anger mark pulsing on his head, he let go of the emerald and held his fists up. "RAAAHHH, THAT DOES IT! You're coming with me whether you like it or not!" He started to punch through the tree, as the wood tore apart and allowed the emerald to fall right out.
"Ah…hahhh… hooo... that's better." He breathed a few times, catching his breath, as he smiled and bent down to take the emerald.
"Why are you out in the open like this?"
"Huh?"
Knuckles spun around.
"Oh, it's you."
-Somewhere with Sonic-
"Annnnd- got'cha!" Sonic stretched his arm out over a small branch that just extended long enough for Sonic to climb across over a cliff.
It was there that a Chaos emerald was delicately balanced on a rock formation to the other side of the cliff.
Once he got it, felt the branch creak a bit, and 'uh-oh!'d quickly to then race off the branch.
It jiggled and seemed rather flimsily, not safe at all, but at least it didn't look like breaking now that he was-
The branch started to crack.
It crashed down to the ravine below.
"…Huh." Sonic looked back and over the cliff, watching the branch go, seeming to acknowledge what could of happened but decided not to think anything of it.
"Now then." He tossed the emerald up and grabbed it in mid-air again, a charming smile on his face.
"That's all 5 from here. Hehe~ Now, I'll bet Tails is having a rough time, better get back-" before he could even speed off, a weird warping sound was heard behind him.
He slowly turned his head back, as the portal opened,...
and Silver's foot crashed into Sonic's face!
"YOU LIAR!" Silver let his foot drag him through the ground as the momentum caused Sonic's head to keep moving and drilling a path through it.
"YOU SAID YOU'D PROTECT HER!" he got off of Sonic, using his power to hover in the air. He then flung his frame forward, without himself moving, and directed his power to Sonic's body.
Sonic was just coming too, as he shook his head and leaned up.
"H-huh?" when he noticed the lime green waves of light around him, he was all at once lifted up, and started flailing in the air.
"S-Silver! Stop!"
"YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR JOB! YOU SAID YOU GOT THIS!" He slammed Sonic's body into every tree that stood in the path where he was being thrown, before jamming him up against a huge rocky wall directly in front of them.
Sonic's back collided with the wall and his head flung up as he released some forced air, and hung his head low, twitching his eyes in pain.
His quills may have cushioned some of the impact, but not as much as curling up would have done...
"S…Silver… let me.. explain.." Sonic was getting beat up and he knew it. He opened an eye to try and appel to Silver, but Silver wasn't having it, nor stopping his brutal attacks.
He had flung his hand forward, causing almost his legs to come up with that powerful throw of his power.
Sonic once again was slammed up against the rock, having it dent and crack under the pressure of it all, as Sonic cried out slightly in his pain.
Silver breathed hard and flew back up to him, gathering his strength again and thrusting a hand up into Sonic once more, shoving him further into the indent of the rocky wall with his two hands.
"GAH!" Sonic took the blow once again, unable to move because of Silver's power.
"I told you… not to make me… come back here…"
Sonic opened a weak eye and squinting it due to the pain again, before opening both eyes to see Silver crying… and twitching violently.
"My world… has turned into that thing's dark imaginings… It's still the apocalypse!" he took one of his arms and held it back, as if going to hit Sonic against the wall again with his power.
He tightened his first firmly, but it shook none the less…
Sonic tried to squirm, but it was no use, his power completely left him immobilized...
"I trusted you… with her… with the future! I never knew she would bring the end of the world! Why didn't you keep her away from Chaos...? Why didn't you!?" he pushed his fist against Sonic's chest, physically pushing him now, but it wasn't very powerful, as Silver slowly slipped from the air, and landed on his knees to the ground.
His power faded as he crouched down, weeping over the fact that he hadn't truly stopped the end of the world... and now... he was so involved, emotionally, with who was destroying it...
Sonic, released from his power, as Silver's arms caught him from fully dropping to the ground.
He slowly helped Sonic's weakened state to the ground in front of him, as the two held one another like brother's in arms, panting in their weariness.
"I would of stayed… I would of looked after her… I would have made sure none of this occurred..! I've failed… my people…Blaze… my home, my world! But worst of all- I failed her!" Silver tightened his eyes shut, letting the tears fall as he slammed his fist into the ground.
The two still hung over, crouched down, as Sonic listened and watched intently to Silver's words and saying, but never made eye contact.
"WHY!? WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP THIS AND DEFEND HER!?"
Sonic let himself fall to the ground, landing on a knee and his foot, before pushing himself up. Forcing the endeavor.
He held his shoulder, and looked away from Silver. The guilt setting in ten times more with every word Silver said… like a dagger to his heart.
"I… I know I've failed, Silver.."
Sonic looked back to his friend.
"But I … I have to make this right…"
"No.."
Silver stopped crying, and gripped the ground.
Pulling his fingers through it, he left his lines through the dirt.
He got up, wobbling a moment before holding his ground, and glared dead into Sonic's eyes.
"WE will make this right…"
Sonic smiled, remembering what Tails had said too, and nodded to Silver.
"She's already been taken over by Dark Chaos. We have to get the emeralds back to Tails so he can keep them from her, and then-"
"And then…"
Silver walked ahead, but you could tell the sorrow from before was still apparent through the intense anger of his expression.
"We fight her."
They raced back to the Master Emerald, but Dark Chaos was gone, along with the Master Emerald. The only thing left behind,...
Was the altar of the Master Emerald.
"Well… the fire's out." Sonic concluded, before his eyes looked up in fear.
He spun around, "Tails!?"
"She got away…" Silver held his anger back, but shook with rage again, keeping his head down.
"She'll start reigning her terror and morphing this world into the pits of despair and darkness! Endless suffering… and so much darkness… Clouds made of soot, a sun that no longer shines but dims, and a world… full of people crying… their lives like puppets to a cruel and unyielding master…!"
He raised up his hand, and looked at it, before clutching it into a fist, and looking away.
"We have to find her, Sonic!"
"I know… I know, but… first we need to re-group." Sonic turned back, moving his hand gently up and down to try and gesture for Silver to remain calm.
"Uhh… Sonic?"
Sonic turned to see Knuckles, waving back at him, and Shadow… who walked quickly over to Sonic, his eyes narrowed, and a chaos emerald in hand.
"Knuckles! Oh, and you found Shad-"
Shadow smacked the chaos emerald across Sonic's face, using a back-handed technique, as Sonic half spun before gaining his footing.
"Ack! Should have seen that one coming..." He shook his head.
Shadow then briskly walked and pulled Sonic up, turning him around and grabbing his neck.
He performed the same act, but this time a wider side swing, where the emerald's rough and hard exterior was surely felt by Sonic in it's full degree.
"You have no right to speak to me after what you have let happen."
He then dropped Sonic, and kicked him away from him.
"I told you to keep Amy away from Chaos energy,... and instead, you let it build up inside her to where now the whole world is at stake!"
"Wait… she's already turned super?" Silver stepped back, as his eyes widened and he looked to Sonic.
"What did you DO!?" Walked, threateningly up to Sonic, who was just barely getting himself off the ground.
Sonic coughed and held his stomach, taking some steps with his knee back from Silver.
"Just...Can anybody… give me a break here?" he spat and stood up.
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT I WAS FUELING IT!?" he yelled back to the two of them.
"I know it's my fault, but bare with me here, guys… I didn't know!"
"You should have." Shadow shot Sonic's excuse right down, as he flinched in Shadow's stern reply.
He then turned to Knuckles, "Did you see where she went?"
"How could I? I was walking with you!" Knuckles shrugged, gesturing out and looking slightly offended he would ask him that.
"I was to clouded by hatred and … other things to pay attention to my surroundings." Shadow admitted, looking down a minute in embarrassment at saying that, before turning back to Silver. "Anything?"
"My grief… blocked my sight too." He looked away, ashamed, before glaring back at Sonic. He only tilted his head slightly to see him from the corner of his eye.
"Alright… I get it! I feel the hate. You... and my conscience both have eyes, so it seems." Sonic stretched himself, trying to get rid of all the pain he just endured, before putting two hands on his legs, and trying to stay upright. "Phew... Ow!" he pulled his arm out and felt the sting of that action.
"You should feel daggers…" Shadow growled, "Being stabbed through your back."
Sonic stopped, and looked to both Shadow and Silver. "…You guys make it out like I betrayed you…"
"You did..!" Silver was about to launch himself at Sonic, but restrained, holding himself together as his eyes twitched with unfathomable rage.
"You stupid piece of-!"
"Guys, guys! Let's get some grip of reality here!"
Knuckles ran out in the middle of them, holding his arms up as Sonic looked down, realizing what he looked like in front of them.
"We're all at fault here. Give Sonic some slack."
"Is that what your laws decree?" Silver spat out, "Is that the protocol for a so-called friend? Letting a promise slip through his fingers and ending up dooming both the world and his friend!" he declared that even more harshly than his previous words.
He stepped closer, swinging his arm out with each statement, as it sank into Sonic's heart like acid.
Sonic turned his head, squeezing his eyes shut, not wanting to hear such things.
"Hmph, either way, we have no choice but to turn Super and defeat her. One way or another, I assume the future is going to be changed due to Dark Chaos's take over of Amy?" Shadow folded his arms, and looked to Silver.
Silver finally looked away from Sonic, and then nodded to Shadow. "…Yes."
"Then there's not a moment to lose." Shadow was about to take off with Silver, before an engine was heard.
"Guys! Hey!" Tails waved from the X-Tornado.
"I know where she went! And you're not gonna believe this!"
