Chapter Twelve "A Brave Act"
Ken was in the control room.
He looked and saw the machine.
"It looks like it's going to set off something." he thought.
Tails looked into his communicator; suddenly the screen showed what was happening in the control room.
"It's Ken…NO!!" said Tails.
Trixie looked alarmed.
"Ken's in there?! On no!" said Trixie.
She ran over and leaned over Tails
She was alarmed and afraid.
Ken was looking closer to the large machine.
The room was flashing red.
"It says it's going to explode in two minutes." thought Ken.
He saw there was a big lever there but the whole room was overheated.
Ken walked over to it.
It seemed that the only way to stop it would be to jam the machine with something.
Ken pulled out something.
It was a gold locket.
"I was going to give this to Trixie, but I guess I can't now…" he thought.
The clock was ticking.
Ken was drawn to tears thinking of never seeing Trixie again.
"I never thought it would end this way, but I have to do it" he thought to himself.
There was one minute left.
Trixie was banging on the control room door.
She now understood what Ken was trying to do.
Tails pulled Trixie off the door.
"Stop! Stop! We can't stay here, the base will explode ether way but if the machine is jammed there'll be a chance we may survive" said Tails.
Trixie was crying.
Tails dragged the sad pink fox away from the base.
Sonic turned and followed them.
Angie was beside herself.
She blamed herself for everything that had happened.
"It I hadn't have believed him, this might not have happened." she thought.
Angie followed the others; there was nothing she could do to help
There was thirty seconds on the clock.
Ken had tears running down his face; the locket was held tightly in his hand.
"Did she know?" he thought.
Ken thought of when they sat and watched the sunset together.
He wiped his tears from his face.
"I love you Trixie…" he said.
Ken threw the locket.
Trixie was screaming Ken's name, she hugged Tails crying.
The base exploded, everything was left in ruin.
Trixie fell to her knees.
Tails walked slowly over to it.
They were saved, the machine was broken.
"Nooooooooooo!" Trixie yelled.
Angie was drawn to tears.
"This can't be…" said Trixie in a sad voice.
She lay down with her head resting in her hands.
A gold glittering thing was next to her as she was weeping.
She sat up when she saw the twinkle.
Trixie wiped her tears with her tails and held out her hand and picked up the thing that had the gold glittery light.
It was a heart-shaped locket with a cursive T on the front.
She opened it, there was a picture of her and Ken.
She turned it and on the other side it said "With all my love, Trixie."
Trixie held the locket close to her face.
She held it over her head and put it over her neck and pressed it to her fir.
"I'll never forget you…" she said in a whisper.
Trixie took a breath and thought of all the times of him and her playing together and smiled.
Angie half smiled and turned her own way but, she still felt...offal.
Trixie walked away turning home sadly with her head pointed down...she blamed herself…
The others followed her as she walked away as the sun was setting.
