Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Emerald's Child ❯ Gone Space Travelin' ( Chapter 5 )

_UsagiGirl_: Sorry to keep you all waiting. I've decided to post this chapter `cause I don't think I'll ever get that third review. ;_; Keep reading! She's not dead! (I mean, what kind of story would it be if the protagonist died after four chapters?) Thanks for those reviews, by the way! Enjoy, and read and review when you're done!

Midori saw a black and red fuzzy blur hunched over her and groaned softly. "Hiromasa, she's coming to!" Mikage's voice buzzed through Midori's head.

"Huh? What's going on?" Midori asked fuzzily, rubbing her head.

"You passed out after using all of your power and energy. Luckily you got rid of Robotnicik," Hiromasa explained.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Midori asked, blinking away the remaining patches of fuzziness in her vision. Mikage was kneeling beside Midori and holding her hand, while Hiromasa stood against his hover-car.

"We should probably get going," Hiromasa said unlocking his vehicle. "C'mon."

The three got in the car and Mikage turned around so she could se Midori.

"Okay, where to start, where to start… Well, first that weird guy was Dr. Ivo Robotonick." Mikage began. "He's Sonic the Hedgehog's arch-nemesis and blew up part of the moon. Last time that Hiromasa and he tangled, well, Hiromasa killed him. He was brought back because of a deranged fox-girl who loved him." Mikage shuddered at the thought. "Anyway, when you had that, light stuff shooting out of you, it was the Master Emerald attacking."

"B-but," Midori didn't know what to ask first. She was so confused. What other things could she do? "Can I control it?"

"Well, in a way," Mikage explained. "When you get very angry, or just need to help someone, it comes out. But that's just my theory. Maybe Sonic has a better one, he always seems to…"

"Don't say that name," Hiromasa yelled angrily, slamming on the breaks.

Mikage sighed as people drove around them, honking their horns and bellowing at the stopped vehicle. "Hon, I thought you and he had settled your differences. He did help you with so much." Midori was shocked. This was the first time Hiromasa had broken his cool attitude.

"I still don't have to like him. I don't like getting involved in things and I like owing people favors even less."

"Well, that's no reason to start quoting Seto," Mikage muttered.

They all sat quietly for a while. Hiromasa was the one who eventually broke the silence. "We're going into space soon. We're going to stay on space colony ARK."

"Space? What? I've never been there! Don't I need some special equipment like a space suit or something?" Midori exclaimed.

"Hey, we aren't going to collect rocks or anything, we're going to live," Hiromasa said.

Midori marveled as the hover-craft pulled into an alley and shot up into the sky. They zoomed along through space and up to a large space colony with large boosters that came out of the rear of the car. They pulled into an air-locked space and got out of Hiromasa's hover-car. Midori picked up her suitcase and followed Hiromasa and Mikage walking into a hall. They walked through the iron rooms, their footsteps echoing throughout the entire colony. It was then that Midori realized that Hiromasa had no feet on the ground. Instead, his cloak levitated several inches above the ground. Midori only saw what looked like small flames coming off the bottom of where Hiromasa's feet would be. Midori stared, mouth open at him and stopped walking. A few feet ahead of Midori, Mikage turned back and asked Midori, "What're you waiting for, Midi?" She followed Midori's gaze, and after a second and said, "Oh, you've finally noticed. Cool, aren't they?"

"But, wait, what?" Midori stammered.

"Oh, just come on!" Mikage grabbed Midori's wrist and dragged her along. Hiromasa turned his head back and Midori saw a glint of red inside of his hood.

_UsagiGirl_: Hiromasa's keeping rubies inside his hood! …Or not. As always, R&R, please!
