A cool autumn breeze blew through the meadow, the fiery red, orange, and yellow leaves danced in the wind. Daisies and Daffodils swayed in the breeze, and everything was peaceful, and quiet. For once, Mobius was at peace. But that peace was broken by the sounds of sirens, and gun fire in the distance. Before a second past, a blue and red blur sped through the meadow, followed by many, MANY robots. The blue and red blurs continued to speed through the forest, and then, started to slow down. Both blurs faded ,there stood a sapphire blue, emerald green eyed hedgehog, and a strawberry red, purple eyed echidna. Both of them holding a chaos emerald. The robots who were not far behind them, shot the first round of gun fire. But both the hedgehog, and echidna easily dodged the missiles, rockets, bullets, and anything else the robots could fire.
Sonic: You're too slow!
As soon as he said that a robot shot him from behind, luckily, it didn't hurt him too badly.
Knuckles: You were saying?
Sonic:ugh.., you could at least help ya know?!
Knuckles: * Dodges bullets* Na, I'm good...
Sonic: * does homing attack on one of the robots* AHAHAHA, you're hilarious. -_-
Knuckles: * punches a robot destroying it* Just shut up and kill them..
After at couple of minutes, there was one robot left. This one, unlike the others, didn't have eggman's symbol on it. It was very large, and was covered in silver armor. Sonic did a homing attack on it, but it didn't smash to pieces. Heck, it didn't even make a dent. Knuckles tried punching it, but the robot grabbed his fist and flung him against a tree. A sharp pain shot up through his back, Knuckles then temporarily passed out.
He woke up minutes later , the robot had been defeated, and was no more than scrap metal. He looked back at Sonic, and then looked back at the robot, then back at Sonic. Was it just him, or were his eyes.. glowing?It looked like he was holding a piece of the strong armor that protected the robot, with a strange ,red symbol on it. Sonic seemed to be in some weird trance or something. Knuckles got up and grunted a little in pain. He the cautiously walked over to the hedgehog. His emerald eyes were defiantly glowing, and he just stood there, looking at the armor. Knuckles tried to snap him out of it.
Knuckles: Ummm, Sonic?
Sonic:* no reply*
Knuckles: *little louder* Sonic!?
Sonic: * still no reply*
Knuckles: *getting angry* SONIC!?
Again, no reply from Sonic. Now Knuckles was ticked. He hated people ignoring him. He yelled his name one more time.
Knuckles: * at the top of his lungs* SSOONNIICC!
When he didn't respond, Knuckles punched him in the face so hard, it knocked Sonic over. Sonic immediately snapped out of the trance.
Sonic: K-Knuckles? Wha-what happened?
Knuckles: *starts to calm down* I don't know, you tell me.
Sonic just stared at Knuckles, a questioned look on his face. Knuckles helped him back up. Didn't he remember what happened? Knuckles thought. He sighed.
Knuckles: You completely zoned out when you saw this symbol on this piece of armor. *shows Sonic the armor*
Sonic: W-Where did you g-get that?
Knuckles was shocked! Was that fear he heard in his voice?! He looked at the hedgehog's face. It was practically white! He was seriously scared! He started to grin. Then his face quickly fell. Sonic was almost fearless. As far as he knew he only feared water ( and Amy XD). If he was this scared of this symbol or whatever it was, then.. why? Knuckles himself was starting to worry, but he would never admit it.
Knuckles: S-Sonic? Do you recognize this symbol?
Sonic: Y-yes, this symbol,* he paused, taking a deep breath*.. belonged to* another deep breath*..
Knuckles: Who?... WHO!?
Sonic: N-Nevermind.. i-it's not important..
Actually, it was important, VERY IMPORTANT. It pained him to even think of the thought, let alone talk about it. It had been so long, he had hoped he never had to see this symbol again. Knuckles grunted,
Knuckles: Not important eh? I saw your face when you saw that symbol..
Sonic: * now back to his normal self* Come on! We better head back to the others before the send out a search party or something!
Knuckles: Fine, but not until you tell me what's going on with you..* eyes him suspiciously*
Sonic: Don't you have the master emerald to guard or something?
Knuckles: SHIT! That's right! * Takes the two chaos emeralds and runs off*
Knuckles:* to himself* But, you will tell me Sonic, you got lucky this time...
Sonic runs back to his and his friends house. There Tails, Cream, Amy, Silver, Shadow, Blaze and Rouge are sitting and chatting in the living room. As soon as he walked through the door they all stopped there conversations and looked at Sonic. They all had either confused, or shocked looks on their faces. Sonic stared back at them, with a very confused and questioning look, there was only silence, they just stared. Finally Sonic broke it.
Sonic: What!? Why are you guys staring at me like that?!
Tails: u-umm, S-Sonic? Wha-What happened to your ey-eye!?
Sonic: Why?! What's wrong with my-* he looks in the mirror*
The others were amazed of how Sonic had the look of horror on his face. One of his eyes had turned a cyan color! He quietly kept on whispering"NO!" Over and over again. Suddenly both his eyes started to glow as he went into a trance (again). The mirror slipped from his grip and shattered on the floor. His friends noticed what had happened and slowly got up and cautiously walked over to him.
Sonic:...
Shadow: Faker?!
Sonic:...
Amy: Sonic!?
Sonic:...
Silver: HEY! SNAP OUT OF IT!
Sonic:...
Cream: Please, ...
Sonic:...
Tails: * with tears in his eyes* Please Sonic! Snap out of it, please!
Sonic seemed to have heard him. His eyes started to fade.
Sonic: ugh.. Tails?
Tails: Sonic! Your back! I was so worried for a sec..
Before Tail's could finish his sentence, Sonic passed out. Everybody rushed over to him.
Rouge: I-Is he d-dead?
Amy: * tears fill up in her eyes* OH GOD! WHAT IF HE'S DEAD!?
Shadow leaned his ear against Sonic's chest, checking for a heartbeat. Everyone seemed to hold their breath, waiting for an answer.
Shadow: NO, he's not dead, he just passed out...
Silver: Why did he pass out?
Tails: It probably has something to do with that weird trance-like state he was in.
Blaze: But... why was he in that trance in the first place?
Knuckles: *steps through doorway* That's what I would like to know...
