Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Believing My Heart ❯ Pt1:And so the storm Brews yet again ( Chapter 11 )

 

 

 

 

~~Last Night~~

 

Flame Attempted to raise himself up, but was unable to succeed. He couldn't move much with so many broken bones and limbs. He coughed up blood that had been caught in throat; he'd been bleeding internally for a while, and was on the brink of death. There's no way he would make it out alive.

 

“W-who… who was the damn hedgehog who d-did this…” He coughed up more blood, struggling to remember. After a brief moment, the answer came to him, the wrong answer. “It was… was it Sonic….?” Flame shifted enough to sit up against the tree stump he lay beside. His vision was blurry and he was fading fast. Was he really going to die, and like this? He chuckled, which soon turned into a coughing fit. “How could they of gotten the best of me, s-so easily?” His blackened eyes narrowed as he continued. “ I hate that damn hedgehog… Sonic… I want to destroy him for what he'd done…”

 

A voice came Chuckling through the woods, causing Flame to quickly look up. “W-who goes there?” he asked in his weakened voice, not that it would matter if it was a threat or not. Death was mere minutes away, and it wouldn't make a difference if he died now. The person revealed himself; a tall man with a bushy orange mustache, glasses and a hairless head. His body was very egg-shaped, hence the nickname Eggman. He introduced himself.

 

“I'm Dr.Robotnik, mechanical mastermind of Mobius, and I see we share the same hate for that blue hedgehog, Sonic...” Eggman took a few steps closer to Flame, just enough so he could be seen clearly. “It looks like he'd left you in quite bad shape; I'm actually impressed with the outcome. It isn't often that I see Sonic go this far, on a living being.” Flame coughed once again, spitting more of his blood to the side. “Yes; I'd do anything to kill that damn hedgehog… if I were capable of living long enough.”

 

Eggman crossed his arms, smiling devilishly and boastfully. “Ho, ho, ho, you can most definitely live long enough to get your revenge… with my help…” he laughed manically, thinking of all the things he had in store for Flame, as well as Sonic. “Y-you can… make me l-live…? But… why?” Flame sat up further, trying not to rupture anything.

 

“Like I said before, I share a similar hate for the hedgehog. If I help you, then you can help me destroy Sonic.” Flame thought for a moment, staring straight into the eyes of Dr.Robotnik. He was stared back at with eyes that soon grew with irritation.

 

“Well? Are you going to take my offer or not?” Flame smirked a smile that he'd done far too much in his lifetime. “Yeah… I'll take your help….Whatever gets me to kill Sonic.”

 

 

 

~~Present~~

 

Sonic opened the door, silencing the loud banging. Before him stood Knuckles, whom seemed very angry. He pushed his way inside, looking left and right. “Where is it; where the hell is the damn thing!?” he opened doors here and there, finding nothing but empty space. Sonic narrowed his eyes and Knuckles, bewildered and irritated at his invasion. “Knux, what the hell are you doing?! Why would I have something that belongs to you here; I don't even have anything in the fridge!!”

 

Knuckles stopped for a moment, glaring right back at Sonic. “Explain this, Sonic.” He held a piece of paper infront of Sonic's face, which read:

 

“Blame Sonic For Your precious master emerald's disappearance; don't expect to see it again.

That is, unless you'd get rid of Sonic.”

 

Sonic read over the letter again and again, looking for the name of the writer. It wasn't necessary for him to confirm his suspicions though; it was obvious that the culprit was Eggman.

 

“How did the Master emerald end up being stolen? Weren't you supposed to be guarding it?” Knuckles narrowed his eyes further at Sonic's question.

 

“I was busy looking for YOUR girlfriend, whom YOU'D upset, causing ALL OF US to overturn every rock on all of friggin' mobius!!”

 

Sonic barked back, more irritated than Knuckles. “Ugh, its not fair to pull out that card; I'd been deceived, something that happens to YOU much too often!! In fact, its happening right now!”

 

“Well it obviously has something to do with you, Sonic, so start explaining to me just why the emerald would have anything to do with YOU!!”

 

“well if you wanna know anything I have to say, I think you're a dumba—”

 

“Now now boys, play nice.” Rouge entered the room casually, stopping the boy's yelling. “I had been watching the Emerald for Knuckie, but I dosed off. Unfortunately, someone took advantage of the situation and stole the emerald. A shame, huh?”

 

Rouge walked around the fired-up boys, into the next room. “And I see you found Amy. Is she alright?” Amy nodded, laying desperately on the floor. “I'm fine; Shadow saved me…” Rouge smirked. “Oh really, Shadow? Looks as if Sonic has been replaced already.”

 

Sonic gulped hard at the words, looking away from everyone. He still held a lot of shame for what had happened. Not only had he hurt Amy, but he hadn't been the one to save her. Someone else played hero in his place. An Anti-Hero at that.

 

Rouge found his reaction interesting, amusing. She sat next to Amy, making sure she wasn't in too bad a state. “But you know Sonic, you can win back Amy's heart easily. You have quite some charm.” Amy blushed. “Sonic already has my heart; he'd never lost it in the first place…” Rouge giggled. “Well that's hard to believe. I would've moved on immediately if someone hurt me like that.” She stared at Knuckles as she spoke. He rolled his eyes, irritated.

 

“It's not that easy, you know; when you truly love someone, nothing can keep you away from them. Not even death can stop your heart from loving that someone… that's how I feel about Sonic…” Amy cracked a smile, staring at Sonic as she did so. He stared back at her, a small smile spreading on his face as well.

 

Knuckles sighed. “Well, if we're done with all the sappy lovey-dovey stuff, can we focus on the Master Emerald!? Nice job by the way Rouge; falling ASLEEP is EXACTLY what you should do when guarding an emerald!! I can't believe I actually trusted you!”

 

“Well, I didn't fall asleep at my own free will; its as if someone drugged me… it happened so suddenly… or maybe I'm allergic to something on Angel Island and it knocked me out?” Rouge shrugged it off, not showing much concern. This of course pissed off knuckles, extremely.

 

“look, I don't CARE what the reason is; the disappearance of the Master Emerald is BAD NEWS. We've gotta go find it.” Sonic nodded, forcing a smirk and forgetting what bothered him. “Yeah, we'll find it; this isn't the only time The M.E. has been stolen.”

 

Vanilla and Cream rushed through the door as the group finally came to a peaceful state. “Is Amy alright? Oh my, look at all the blood on the floor!” Vanilla and Cream continued to the room where Amy and Rouge sat without talking to the others. She immediately began to Work on Amy, whom of which had been in deep need for help. Deeper than she had thought.
