Internal Torment: Battle Not Yet Won

The sequel is up! This story is set seven years after the original Internal Torment. I could think of no better title! I finally came up with the bad character's name. You will all hate me for what I've decided about him, but it'll be worth it. I'm so evil! This is probably going to be the best story I've ever written! I'm so very proud. BTW, if you can guess the three surprise character's I've added, I'll give you a cookie! I do not own the Sonic characters! By the way, for all of you telling me to update on Huri's Past I can't because it is finished. The story leaves off on a cliffhanger because it is continued in Chapter Eleven: Discovery, of Internal Torment. That is just a story telling you how her parents died and how she met Shadow. This is, like the original Internal Torment, mainly set around Knuckles and Rouge.
I need five reviews before I can update! So Read and Review! I love you all.

Chapter One: Seven Years Later

It had been seven long years since Eggman had died. Knuckles and Rouge were married, just like Sonic and Amy were, and Shadow and Huri. Knuckles and Rouge had a daughter name Genesis. She was only five years old. Gen had a body like an echidna, but wings like a bat.

She was a light red color with white streaks in her dreadlocks; her eyes were a soft blue color. Amy and Sonic had a son too; his name was Kage. He was a darker blue than his father, but had pink streaks in his quills, which looked like Sonic's. Kage was also, five years old. Like both his parents, he had emerald green eyes.

Shadow and Huri also had a son, his name was Page; after Huri's father. They had named him Page because of his soft maroon eyes. He was, like the other two kids, five years old. Page had solid black fur, like his parents. Most of the tips on his quills were red like his father but there were a few that had pink in them. His quills were like Shadow's, but he had bangs that stuck to his forehead like his mother.

Of the three kids, Page was the oldest by a month, and then Kage then Gen. Tails and Cream were still together, though they were still to young to have kids. Besides, it was now too dangerous to have kids. After Eggman died, a new evil came onto the world. All anyone knew about him was that his name was Tye, and that he had piercing yellow eyes.

No one knew if he was human, or if he was a mobian. No one cared either; what they cared about was the fact that he had all seven Chaos Emeralds. With all seven, Tye really did rule the world. He had taken control soon after Gen was born. It was easily done too, since none of the heroes could stop him.

Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Huri, Tails and Cream couldn't leave the kids alone long enough to try and save the world. Besides, what would happen to their children/godkids if they died? With no one there to help them, they would die too. None of the parents could do that. Cream and Tails, who were the three's godparents, couldn't take care of them by themselves.

So it had been decided that they would go under ground until the kids were old enough to take care of themselves, then they would go and stop Tye. Tails had built an underground base, which they all now called home. Not to mention that no one could find his base. Tails had been trying for seven years to make a CED without a Chaos Emerald. He had made one, using a fake Chaos Emerald to power it, but then his workshop was destroyed and it was lost, along with all of his notes on how to make a fake Chaos Emerald.

He had been trying to remember the exact formula and how to build the machine for five years. Everyday, he would spend at least ten hours a day writing down formulas that could possibly be the right one. Then it would take another five or six hours to test it. Each time it was a failure. He was also doing other things that no one knew about.

He had been working on these projects for seven years also, on and off. When Tye took over though, it was mostly forgotten. He did work on it though, and that was all that mattered to him. Tails let a sigh escape his lips as he wiped the sweat and oil off his forehead. Though he only managed to smear the oil.

He had grown up quite a bit in the last seven years, all of them had. Tails was a little bit taller then he was before. Thanks to his longer legs, he could run faster too. He was now able to break the sound barrier, by running or flying. His tails were also longer, which enabled him to fly faster. That's really all that had changed about his physical appearance.

He now wore goggles on his forehead, so he wouldn't hurt his eyes when flying. The gloves he wore were still the same type he wore back in the days of Eggman, but the were a different size. He did have different shoes though; they were red and white like his old ones, but they were made or a lighter material that didn't wear down as fast. He had made the same type of shoes for everyone, even the kids. In Amy, Rouge and Huri's case though, he made them boots.

The shoes or boots all looked like the old shoes they wore. Page's, Kage's and Gen's shoes though were slightly different. Instead of the plain white shoes they each used to wear, Tail's made them custom shoes to fit their personas. Page's shoes were maroon like his fur, built out of the special material everyone's was made of. The unique feature on his shoes was that they contained a small amount of rubber in the soles.

This, in turn made the shoes bouncy and when Page jumped; which he loved to do; he could jump about three feet in the air, if not more. Also, built in Page's shoes, were small rockets like his father had. Kage's shoes were a blue and gold color. Kage, like his father, love to run. Tails made sure that Kage's shoes would grow with him instead of grow out of them.

Also, he could store rings power in his shoes, which would make him run faster. Gen's shoes, were a cross between her mother's boots and her father's shoes. They were a light solid red color, with pink stripes on the sides. Her shoes had metal spikes on them so she could climb walls. She did have small spikes on her fist, along with some sharp nails.

The special feature for her shoes was that they weren't made completely of cloth like the others. Her shoes had some light metal in them, making her kicks pretty hard. The metal was so light, that she could still run without any problems. She was by no means faster than the boys were, but she sure was stronger then them. Gen definitely had her father's strength, but thankfully, she had her mother's brains.

Tails could remember the first time she had beat Page and Kage. It was one of his happier memories, not to mention one of the funniest. The two boys had been so embraced that a girl beat them. Not only by a girl though, but by a girl that was younger then them. He chuckled at the memory.

Gen stood there, she had a few small cuts on her arms. She wouldn't cry though. In her little mind, she couldn't cry. Page and Kage ran at her, trying to kick and punch her. She couldn't really dodge their hits, but she could block.

Page punched her in the arms while Kage kicked her in the legs. She couldn't hold out much longer like this. She reared her fist back and punched Page in the face, and sent him flying back to her left. He rolled back quite aways, about ten feet by her calculations. A smile crossed her face as she jumped up a little and kicked Kage in the face.

He flew to her right, rolling about ten feet away also. Her smiled grew as she bowed to the applause she was getting from the spectators. Her mom, dad, Uncle Sonic, Aunt Amy, Uncle Tails, Aunt Cream, Uncle Shadow, and Aunt Huri were watching the spar between the kids. Page and Kage stood up, shaking their heads. You could see how mad the two were. Gen looked at them and stuck her tongue out at them.

The two little hedgehogs stood up and ran at her. Gen started laughing as she jumped into the air and opened her wings. The two boys tried to stop, but it was useless as they smacked right into each other. The group of adults walked over to them. Page and Kage had bumps on their heads and were rubbing them. Gen lowered herself to the ground and stood by them.

"That was a fun fight. Are you guys ok?"

" I'm okay Gen. Are you okay Kage?"

Kage nodded, " yeah. I just can't believe a girl beat us!"

Gen smirked proudly as she felt hands wrap around her waist.

" That's my girl! As strong as me!" Knux yelled proudly.

Rouge smiled at her husband's antics. She watched as Sonic and Huri picked up their kids.

" You did great son. I'm very proud of you," Sonic said smiling.

Amy walked up behind her husband and took her son from his arms, " there is no need to be ashamed Kage. Your father could never beat Knuckles or Rouge in a fight. Actually, none of us could ever beat the other in a fight."

Everyone nodded at Amy's statement.

" Maybe the kids should train with weapons? Even if they can't use them very well it would make them mentally and physically stronger," Huri suggested, kissing her son's forehead.

The parents all agreed.

Knuckles was still tossing Gen up in the air. Smiling and talking about how much like him she was. Just as she was falling down for the tenth time, Rouge snatched her out of the air.

" She maybe as strong as you dear, but she definitely has my intelligence," she stated.

That got laughs from all the adults, but the kids didn't quite understand what was going on. They only looked at each other and shrugged.

The two boys had never won a fight with Gen after that. That was when they were about four years old. Now, when the three sparred, they used weapons. Page used a bo staff like his grandfather had. Kage used a hammer, similar to his mother's old one except it was blue and yellow, instead of the red and yellow.

Gen used arrows, they didn't pierce the skin instead they stuck to you and shocked you with low amounts of electricity. Tails had made those weapons for them. Not only those, but he had upgraded Amy's hammer. Amy's new hammer was the same colors as her old one, but that is were the similarities ended. Her new Piko-Piko Hammer had spikes on both ends to magnify the damage done to an enemy.

Also, on the hilt could be used as a spear. It was a very dangerous weapon, and very useful in battle. Huri's sais had to be sharpened every once in a while, but that was all her weapon ever needed. No one except Huri, Amy, Page, Kage and Gen used weapons. Tails smirked as he stepped away from his "projects".

" Finally, they are done."

He laid his wrench down by some robot blue prints when he passed them. He sat in his computer chair and typed some things on the keyboard. The word "Online" appeared and he got up and walked over to his projects. Two pairs of glowing red eyes and a pair of glowing blue eyes could be seen.

" THERE'RE ALIVE!" He yelled, laughing like a mad man.

" Welcome back, hold on for just a second. I've gotta show you guys off to everyone. They are going to be so happy!"

He ran up the stairs and threw open the door.

" Attention all personnel, please report to my workshop ASAP for a important meeting!"

Gen, Page and Kage were walking by when Tails threw open the door. The three fell back and screamed in surprise. Tails jumped at the sound of their screams, and turned his head in their direction.

" I'm sorry you guys, I didn't mean to scare you."

" I wasn't scared, I was just thrown off guard for a second," Page stated standing up.

Gen nodded in agreement, " yeah, why would we be scared?"

" I was scared," Kage said raising his hand.

Next thing he knew Page had hit him in the back of the head, " shut up Faker JR."

" My name is Faker JR, it's Kage!"

Gen sighed and stood between the two bickering boys, stopping them from killing each other.

Tails smiled those two were definitely there father's sons.

Sonic, Amy, Cream, Shadow, Huri, Knuckles and Rouge came walking down the hallway.

" What's up Tails? Why'd you call us?" Sonic asked.

He sighed as he saw Kage trying to get passed Gen to get to Page. Shadow also sighed at the sight he saw. Both fathers walked up to their boys and picked them up.

" What have I told you about calling names?" Shadow asked Page.

" Not to."

" Right, so what do we say?"

" Sorry Kage."

Shadow patted him on the head.

" Kage, now you apologize for trying to kill Page," Sonic said.

" Do I have too?"

Sonic nodded.

" I'm sorry Page."

" What are you kids going by Tails' workshop anyways. You know it dangerous," Rouge scolded.

That was very true, some of Tails' inventions had blown up before. One time, Cream had gotten hurt. She never blamed Tails, but ever since he has allowed no one to go in when he was working. Not to mention that every once in a while he used some toxins that could hurt someone.

" We heard him yell " they're alive" and he was laughing funny so we came to check it out," Gen said smiling.

She loved her Uncle's inventions, and she loved watching him work. Whenever he was just doing adjustments to things like her arrows, he would allow her to watch. Sometimes, he would even allow her to help.

Tails sweat-dropped and smiled goofily, " yeah, I now regret yelling that."

Amy smiled, " how many times have we told you that your not an evil genius?"

Tails blushed as he started to chuckle nervously. The others just laughed as her statement.

" Come on down into my workshop, I've got some things to show you guys."

He walked back down the stairs and motioned for them to follow. Sonic followed him first. Sonic had grown about three inches taller, but that was all that really changed. He was still the clueless hero he had always been. Amy followed next; she had dropped the dress years ago and now wore red pants and a white tank top.

Her legs were longer and she could break the sound barrier easily now. Also, her quills went past her shoulders now, like Huri's had been when Shadow first met her. The fact that her legs were longer didn't really matter; it was that her hammer had strengthened the muscles in her legs. She was an excellent fighter, thanks to all the training with Huri and Rouge. Though she had grown both physically and mentally over the years, she was still extremely hot headed.

Motherhood though, had calmed her down a bit. When she had her new hammer in hand though, it was best not to piss her off. Shadow walked in after she did. Like Sonic, he had grown three inches taller and that's really all that had changed about his physical appearance. Mentally though, he was a little more social now.

Everyone had Huri to thank for that. She followed after her husband. Huri had changed a lot. Now, she wore the same black pants she did when she met Shadow but she wore a hot pink V-neck shirt, her gloves and boot design were the same. She had grown very little and was the shortest of the adults.

Her temper like Amy's had improved but when in battle she was worse than before. Huri's quills were a little longer then they were when she met Shadow, now going to the middle of her back. She tied them in a loose ponytail, so that when fighting they wouldn't get in her way. Her bangs though, still stuck to her forehead. Cream followed Huri into her love's workshop.

By far she had changed the most over the years. Both physically and mentally. She had the same shoes and gloves she had always had. Cream now wore a yellow tube top and blue jeans. She had grown about four inches taller, just an inch shorter than Huri was.

The thing that had changed the most though, were her eyes. They were no longer the soft, all loving eyes that they had been when she was a child, they now contained pain and a desire for revenge. After her mother had been murdered, her eyes just changed. Though you could see love in her eyes too, you could just see more pain and the desire for revenge better. Also, if you looked closely you could see guilt.

The guilt of not being able to remember what had happened. All she could remember was waking up in a pool of her mother's blood. Her ears had grown with her, now going past her shoulders in length. She trained hard every day with Tails, so that when she found the person that had killed her mother she could cause them as much pain as they had caused her. Her flying skills were a lot better thanks to him, but she could not run very fast.

She couldn't break the sound barrier when running, but she could when flying. Tails and her had grown stronger as a couple, and it was decided by the both of them that when Tye was defeated they would get married. Knuckles walked behind Cream, he hadn't really changed that much. His dreadlocks were about half an inch longer then they were before. He was the tallest member of their little group.

Fatherhood had really mellowed him out. He was now a very calm person, outside a battle anyways. Knuckles had grown a lot stronger over the years, though not a whole lot smarter. He could break the sound barrier by both flying and running, but was faster when he ran. His attire was the same and that was basically it.

Rouge was the last one of the adults to walk into Tails' workshop. She was the tallest of the girls. Her hairstyle was the same. Rouge now wore a black T-shirt and purple pants. Her gloves and boots were the same, and she still wore her blue eye shadow.

Gen followed after her mother. She was followed by Kage. He was followed by Page. They all stood behind Tails and just stared at him.

" As you all know, I've been working on special projects for six or seven years now. I am excited to tell you, I've finished them and would like you to meet them. Come on out guys," Tails said smiling.

The sound of metal could be heard as the two pairs of red eyes and the pair of blue eyes got closer.

The adult's eyes widened in shock as the three robots walked out of the shadows.

" No way," Sonic whispered.

" I don't believe what I'm seeing," Rouge stated.

Knuckles nodded in agreement.

Huri's eyes were fixed on the one she knew, " how did you do it? The Egg Carrier is gone."

Shadow was just staring at the three robots. Cream had tears in her eyes, and was hugging Tails.

" You're a genius you know that?" she asked Tails.

Tails nodded, " yes I know. You can all thank me later."

" I always wondered why you wanted all those weapons, now I know," Amy stated.
