Chapter 10: Desperation of the mind
He stared blankly at the human, iris’s dilated fully as his mind buzzed empty. Fingers twitched but didn’t move further while his body simply lay twisted from where he had crashed into the metal airlock. Blood splattered across all five walls; many bodies lying across the ground where the fallen one had fought as long as he could to keep the intruders away from the main corridor. A click was heard as the safety of a gun was taken off while booted feet vibrated off the metal flooring towards their fallen foe; the weapon trained on the figure who again twitched, but nothing else. A sharp breath was taken in, ears turning so slowly towards the coming threat that it was not noticed; the movement was far too unthreatening for the men in uniform to consider a warning. The steps got closer and closer to the prone form, but none saw the shifting of the eyes as the iris’s expanded, a sparkle returning to the previously glassy orbs. Blue eyes slowly looked around to distinguish where he was and what had happened when the cocking of the enemy’s weapons drew his attention to them. Looking up through his light brown bangs he made sure to stay still, not wanting to send the soldier on a shooting spree with his body as a target—getting shot once was enough thank you. His hand shifted, curling so the tips of claws brushed his palms, held in such a way that he could do significant damage in a short amount of time or range. Moving in subtle but unnoticed movements, he was able to straighten out his aching legs that suddenly burned as they were finally able to get the blood needed after being in that twisted position for a long while. Flickering his gaze to each of the men, he let his body tense, rising smoothly from the floor. Instantly all the men noticed and turned their gazes upon him, a shout went up from somewhere as he lunged, claws flashing in the light. The soldiers wasted no time and opened fire; hundreds of bullets ploughing into the young experiment, but was no use. He reached the first line of the men in less than a minute and cut them down. More blood splattered across the flooring—not only from the decapitated men but from his own body that staggered in place, riddled with bullet holes. Coughing, he collapsed where he stood, the wounds sluggishly healing and even pushing his usually good healing to the test with how many injuries he was suffering that day. Resting on hands and knees, head bowed, gasping for breath through a pierced lung, he finally felt the gravity switch off as the mainframe shut down. Lights everywhere dimmed to the emergency lighting along the floors, silent. Grimacing, Kurisu reached down to one of the metal boots that was specially designed for this occasion and pressed the button by his ankle. Though with how high he had floated into the air, it was not surprising, that, when he pressed them, the Halfling went slamming into the floor, falling over his feet and ending with a gigantic CRASH through a pair of glass doors that had only just been holding together. Grumbling to himself while wincing at the burning pain of slowly healing wounds, Kurisu pushed himself to his hands and knees, taking in where he had fallen through to. Ears twitched in every direction, catching the distant shouts of some of the men as they found themselves floating in the air. Chuckling to himself, Kurisu then tried to listen out for one of two hedgehogs that he was going to meet up with now that his part was over. Then PAIN! A high pitched whine came out of him as he squabbled backwards for the weapon embedded in the top of his spine and the base of his neck. Fresh blood welled up from his mouth and ran down from the corners of his lips, while his body thrashed—tail almost a blur of movement. Ears were completely back, eyes clenched shut, a squeal leaving his throat as the blade twisted, hot air near his right ear from the man’s breath. “This should teach you, little bitch… This is for my comrades you slaughtered back there, damned experiment.” The man lifted the hand up higher that held the creature, sliding the other even further back onto the blade and making the Halfling choke. Blackness began to compress his sight and slowly he fell limp, hanging as a dead weight from the man’s arm, who was getting sadistic pleasure at the pain and suffering he was causing. Then a shout was heard as a ball of the sharpest quills crashed into the human and sent him flying back, his clothing completely torn up from the razor sharp quills that were usually soft if the hedgehog was relaxed. Sliding along the floor in metal boots, the ball uncurled, revealing a dark peach muzzle, dark, near-black blue quills and dark emerald green eyes that furiously glared towards the man who was backing up on his backside, fear within his gaze. “An… Another ONE?!” A snarl came from Sonic as he stepped forward, sending the now panic stricken soldier scrambling away out the room. Moving to the open door, Sonic forced it closed, twisting the metal handle in a show of impossible strength, also showing how pissed off he currently was. The man was lucky a Chaos Strike had not hit him in the back to pay for the pain the Halfling had gone through. Darkened eyes flashed over to the other who whimpered softly, one arm still limply trying to reach back for the dagger embedded in his neck. Shushing the other, Sonic—with a frown upon his face—gripped the hilt of the dagger, his other gloved hand holding the base of the Halfling’s neck under long, bloodstained locks of hair. The hybrid’s body stiffened trying to stop the hedgehog, but Sonic again shushed him, purring a little to calm the panicking creature. Tensing he slid the dagger out smoothly, the blade sliding out with a slick sound of metal against bone. Sonic’s ears had lain back, a grimace on his face, while a screech came from Kurisu’s throat, clearly indicating how painful the extraction had been. Throwing the dagger away, the hedgehog then pressed both hands against the other’s neck, trying to stem the flow of blood with the material of his gloves as nothing else was nearby to use. Shivers ran through the prone body of the Halfling, eyes half lidded as he fought against the wanting of unconsciousness and the levels of pain, that if they caught hold would render him in a world of agony that they had no time for. Shifting under the hedgehogs hands he slowly got up, heaving for breath. Worried, Sonic stayed close to the Hybrid’s side, dark eyes flickering over the wounded male and darkening to almost fully black as he realised there was more damage than he had thought. “So…Sonic. Your part….is complete?” Both eyes met as the hedgehog nodded in reply. Relief coursed though Kurisu as he realised two out of three tasks had been complete. “Then Shadow…is left to…do his?” “Yeh. That sounds about, right I think.” Ears twitched at Sonic’s voice as Kurisu just smiled slightly and shook his head, the pain slowly lessoning as the muscle closed up, leaving the broken skin for last. Sonic tilted his head, a smile playing around his lips as he calmed a little; his anger receding enough for his fur to lighten to its usual colour. Reaching over, he tugged gently on one of Kurisu’s ears and laughed slightly as the other reared back, a snort escaping him that sounded suspiciously like a woof as the ear reflectively laid back away from the feeling of being pulled. Growling at the other to behave, all shows of play stopped instantly as both heads snapped up to the sound of gunfire being heard in the distance. An enraged roar came to them as an explosion shook the Ark, sending them staggering. After all, they were still attached to flooring, even if the rest of the people were floating within nothing but air. “That was Shadow wasn’t it?” Emerald and sapphire glanced at each other, the hedgehog nodding in reply while they told the other with one look what was needed, both holding the same idea. ‘We must get to the Dr.’ Both an out of the room, Sonic holding tightly to Kurisu’s hand as to not lose him in the Ark, their home that had become a deaths battle.
Ears were lowered fully against the Hybrid’s skull as he half leaned against the Echidna. Normally golden blue eyes were primly gold as they stared out at nothing, glazed over in thought, allowing Knuckles to lead him where the mobian wanted. Concerned glances were being thrown towards him from not only the Echidna, but the hedgehog and human as well—all worried about the sudden state that the Halfling had fallen into, though the last two’s thoughts were more on the case of how and why. ‘How is this possible? Two Chris’s?! Wasn’t reality meant to combust when two of the same person met?!? And if they were not the same?!?! Then who was he???’ The Hybrid stopped suddenly, his hand ripping out of the Echidna’s gloved one, as he gripped his hair and pulled, a distressed and panicked whine ripping from his throat as eyes shut tightly, a single tear on each side, sliding down his cheeks. Teeth were gritted, knuckles red, as the clawed nails ripped into his skull, causing pain to flare while blood ran down his cheeks from the gorges in his skull. Knuckles instantly reacted. Gripping the Hybrid’s hands, he tugged them harshly away, the Echidna’s teeth bared to the world as he growled viciously to the Hybrid in anger and frustration. Human Chris went to interfere, thinking that Knuckles was being rough on the other, but Sonic soon stopped him with a hand upon his shoulder, shaking his head slightly in warning, quills rattling against each other in the near silent day. Emerald green eyes were serious for once as they tracked between the tense Hybrid and Echidna. Fully golden eyes shot open, lips lifting up to snarl quite audibly at the other, his tail thrashing side to side while red-dripping, clawed hands abruptly latched onto Knuckles wrists, the sharp ends digging into the fur covered skin and causing more blood to slide down the rigid muscles of the Echidna’s arms. The corners of Knuckles eyes twitched in pain while the corners of his lips set in a threatening snarl. With amethyst eyes glaring full out at the now raging Hybrid, confusion and desperation dictating his movements instead of common sense. It was the tightening of the Halfling’s face muscles that alerted the mobian to what the other was up to, but was too slow to stop. Using the rigid Echidna’s arms as a balancing board, the golden eyed Halfling jumped up, twisting his upper body around and booted Knuckles in the face. A shocked look came upon the Echidna’s face before he went flying, crashing into the wall with a deafening BOOM. Sonic looked shocked back and forth between the two of them, hands covering Chris protectively. Chris, being curious, peaked up between the peach coloured fur at the Hybrid, who was standing still, body taut, eyes narrowed were Knuckles had crash landed. An agitated growling was heard as the red anthro pushed out, hands fisted, as he rushed forward to punch the other with fury in his gaze. A strained yell came from the anthro’s throat as the Echidna began to punch furiously at the other. Swinging his fists with deadly intent, the sharp protrusions of bone on Knuckles hands, just missed the Halfling’s face by millimetres as the other dodged. Barely heard snarls and growls came from both as emotions were worked out. Showers of gravel, from craters in the concrete walls and other materials, littered the ground around the two battling from the intense fight; slashes and cuts littering both bodies, but surprisingly, the mobian and Hybrid sported little damaging wounds. Sonic had finally had enough. He could handle a short easy spar between friends or an intense but fulfilling battle between two competitors, but could not handle a senseless battle that would end up with nothing more than hurt companions and a lot of wreckage. Pushing the human into the alleyway at the side—which the Hybrid and Echidna had come from in the first place—to protect him from the two, the hedgehog then raced into the fight at his usual speed and was able to grab a hold of one of the Hybrid’s arms, making the Halfling stagger as his balance of battle was thrown off. Seeing his chance, Knuckles darted forward and grappled hold of the other one. The hisses of anger, snarls of confusion and growls of frustration were vented into the air as the Halfling was forced to the floor; both arms forced behind his back; body thrashing against the two mobians’ holds. Tears began to form as the Hybrid realised that he could not get free, could not run from his emotions that were tangling higher and higher. One last time he pulled against their hold and nearly broke free, but it was not enough. A roar of many emotions tumbled out of his throat, ears against his skull. Glassy eyes stared at nothing as he slumped in place, silent and limp. The two mobians’ went rigid, feeling the Hybrid still, but after no more movement for several minutes, the two then got up slowly and surveyed the defeated Halfling. Feeling the two having got off him, Chris then turned to his side and curled up away from them slightly, tears clinging wetly to his face and irritating his skin. Sniffing dejectedly, he reached up to his face with a balled fist and rubbed his wet cheeks, as though trying to hide the evidence from the heavy gazes of the two anthros’. Knuckles crouched down, one hand stretching out almost hesitantly towards the other, amethyst eyes shadowed with confusion and hurt. Ears twitched once, but the Halfling did not move, too exhausted was he and empty of emotion that he did not face the other, shame filling him in the way he had suddenly lost it at the only one who had cared for him in his time of need. One ear reflectively flattened as the familiar gloved hand rested gently on his shoulder, but that was it; staring into the distance, eyes began to close, silent tears sliding down his cheeks, one hand curled above his head. Knuckles carefully pulled the boy over; his other hand reached forward and gripped the limp Hybrid’s chin, turning the now glazed blue eyes to his own. The Halfling stared through half closed lids up at the Echidna, puzzlement running through him. ‘Why? Why stay? Why do you help me? What reason could get you to be so loyal? Why?’ He tried desperately to gather his fleeting thoughts, but it was far too late; his body was shutting down. Completely exhausted from the overwhelming emotions of before, lids slid shut softly, lashes lying against his cheeks. Darkness compressing him into unconsciousness, struggling with the chains he strained to get back to the awakening plane, panic striking through him anew. Then a sound calmed him, vibrating gently through his body. Hands slid under his body and lifted him flush against their chest, keeping him from falling. But the reason he suddenly settled, tense muscles relaxing, was that he recognised Knuckles scent and the sound of his purring that the Hybrid had fallen asleep to many a time. One last fleeing thought grabbed for his attention, but was too late—leaving it unanswered, floating in his unconscious. ‘The dreams… They are really memories?’
