Chapter 9: A Shocking Truth
Blue eyes stared up through the glass above them, ears flickering lazily side to side in a calm motion; his body was slumped in between two others, relaxed even with the worried frown upon his face. A trail of stars caught his eye and he turned his attention to the shower of falling stars that were lighting up space and giving it a more beautiful display, at least for that night. Arms were relaxed at his sides, shoulders brushing slightly with the arms of the hedgehogs who were watching the shower with him, having both been asked to put aside their usual taunting for a quiet moment together, something that none of them did very often. Both were relaxed; the red and black hedgehog’s face, who usually was quite cold and detached from others, was open with slight wonder, a small smile playing around his lips. The blue hedgehog’s face-usually in a smirk-was smiling gently, a soft look in his eyes as they followed the trail of stars, arms behind his head as always. Kurisu, on the other hand, was not as relaxed as he seemed, worrying thoughts passed through his mental processors. The frown on his face became even more pronounced as ears flattened with the downturn on his thoughts, not able to find any solution to the problem that was tugging his attention away from the memorable moment of the shower of shooting stars. The end of his tail was twitching, indicating the stress he was in, but the two hedgehogs did not notice—too wrapped up in the spectral in-front of them—so it was a surprise to both when Kurisu spoke up, having been quiet for so long. “I’m worried…” Eyes belonging to the black and red hedgehog snapped to him, looking at the Halfling out the corner of his eyes. The green eyes of the other also moved to Kurisu’s form, sitting up from his relaxed position upon his back; all attention upon the hybrid, who was staring with lost blue eyes down at the ground and his slightly spread hands. “Worried?” Shadow’s deep voice penetrated the uneasy stillness that had overtaken them, ears raised slightly as a sigh escaped his body. Fisting his hands he slid them from his lap, where they hung between his thighs and stood up, tail twitching even more agitatedly. Striding over to the window he stood there for a long second, gazing out at nothing as he gathered his thoughts. “Kurisu…?” Sonic’s voice was hesitant, as he tried to figure out what could have got the normally under control hybrid this worked up; nothing came to answer so he settled on asking questions, but the Halfling spoke up before he could. “I’m… worried about the state of affairs between the Earthen Government and the Space Federation.” Shadow narrowed his eyes as he thought back to everything he knew about the two factions and the warring nature of their relationship. Sonic too tired to think back and could come up with nothing to why the Halfling was beyond skittish at this time. Ears twitched nervously and flattened again, as a multitude of emotions passed through him, but was intent on continuing with what he had started. “The doc has it all under control; you know how he likes to handle things.” Turning, he leaned against the railing, as he surveyed the two hedgehogs from under his bags; blue eyes flicked back and forth as the two exchanged a look that said everything and nothing. “Normally I wouldn’t agree with the idiot, but for once he speaks with common sense. The doctor will not allow the Government to gain any control of the Ark, no matter how much they want to. It has always been his way.” He sighed leaning back as he tilted his head back, allowing the strong railing to hold his full weight. “What I saw contradicts that Shadow…” Red eyes narrowed, green became sharper as both focused upon the other who was highlighted by the star shower; his body gaining a white glow around it in reaction to the light given off from the shooting stars. Blue eyes looked despondency from one to the other, meeting both red and green. “What did you see Kurisu?” Ears flickered, fisted hands were crossed in front of his chest; hugging himself as blue eyes dropped to the ground. “I was hiding behind the open doorway to the Communications Centre when I heard the transmission between the Commander and Doctor Gerald. Curious, I decided to not move from my position. Instantly the Commander began to throw accusations towards the Doctor. Having seen footage of one of the times the prototype became unruly, he sent the accusations of treachery and building of weapons of mass destruction.” Shadow had sat up at this stage an intense look upon his face, while Sonic looked on in disbelief at the words that were being spoken. “He then went on to say that if Doctor Gerald Robotnik did not turn over all information of experimental organisms and step away from the research to hand it over drastic measures will be taken.” Red eyes sharpened as the hedgehog caught the hidden meaning to the Halfling’s words. “You don’t mean!?!” His words were rushed slightly, a panicked look flashing briefly across the usually cold features. Kurisu nodded in conformation. “Yes, they threatened not only the Doctors work but our human sister as well; Maria.” Green eyes went wider as it sunk in, then with a growl his ears lay down as something dark flashed through his eyes. “They wouldn’t dare!” His normally upbeat voice was a growl as Sonic glared threateningly at nothing, gloved hands fisting in reaction to control himself. Shadow’s eyes had narrowed dangerously; arms were now crossed over his chest, as slight wisps of chaos energy flickered from his fingers, the golden bands glowing slightly. “They did, they said the Doctor has a period of a month to turn over everything to the organisation G.U.N. or they will come and seize the station for their own means.” Sliding down, he sat on the floor, legs up against his chest, tail curled around his thighs. “Those pathetic humans don’t have what it takes to control the experiments of the Ark. They are foolish to even think they can; for only we have the power that makes them listen, the prototype especially.” Shadow’s voice was quite but held full meaning as both the blue hedgehog and Halfling nodded in assessment to his words. “Yes, but they arrogantly think they can and will do it even if it means the death of all the Ark’s inhabitants.” Green eyes shrank in shock, while red eyes looked away, a grim look upon his tanned muzzle. “We need a strategy…” Ears flicked over to Shadow’s defensive position as blue eyes assessed the tense hedgehog; Sonic also turned to look, a grim expression upon his face as he nodded. “Yeh, we can’t run into this blindly; there are real lives at stake.” A huff of breath escaped Kurisu that sounded more like a snort, as the black and red hedgehog gave a small chuckle; while the green eyed one grunted in annoyance to his companion’s amusement. “Yeh, yeh! Laugh it up ya idiots. I can have a plan you know.” Red and blue exchanged an amused glance. “Noooo, your thing, speedster, is to charge-in-without-thinking-and-ask-questions-later way.” Sonic stuck his tongue out in retaliation and Kurisu grinned in return his spirits lifted slightly; beside the blue hedgehog Shadow watched with an amused gaze, a tiny smile uplifting his lips as he watched the two. “Anyhow back to thinking about a plan, you got anything outlined Kurisu?” Sonic leaned forward, arms upon his knees, as he let his interested gaze rest upon the Halfling; blue eyes were shut again, head against the railing as he thought over what he had planned. “Well what I thought together in my mind was that in-case of an invasion that: Dark-Ultimate, you would go to find Maria and try to secure the security base to makes sure the invaders do not get further than however far they get; basicallyto activate the security and organise the retreat of the personal staff and family’s.” Blue eyes slipped open and slid over to Shadow’s form, who was nodding in agreement to his designated place. “Speedster, you would need to find the Doctor and find out everything that has happened and if any experiments need transporting out, first and foremost Maria’s medication.” Sonic nodded eyes hard, his fur just a tad darker as his darker side had made an appearance. “Lastly Chaos-Crystal: my job would be to secure the experiments and getting the escape facilities ready for use, while holding off any intruders that come in my way.” Both hedgehogs nodded as they understood their positions to play in-case something like that ever happened. “What if something goes wrong?” The black and red hedgehog’s face was stony as he asked the question. “The main thing would be to secure Maria, Doctor Gerald, Maria’s medication and one disk of everything that has ever been done here at the Ark. All mainframes would have to be put on a purge so that G.U.N. or the Earthen Government don’t get their hands on years of Gerald’s research and his creation of us three. It is vital!” Both nodded, orders having been taken and filed away into a secure part of their minds; for having been created, all three of their minds was completely organised and it was easy to find any information needed at any given situation, except when they got panicked or confused. “And if force is needed?” Serious blue eyes moved back and forth meeting both pairs of eyes. “Then use it if you must, nothing else would matter than the survival of the Robotnik family.” Everything was silent as they processed everything; never in any of their lives had they been pushed this far, none were created for killing or harming another. But with the way things were coming to hand, it seemed as though the innocence they all possessed would be shattered by the very planet they had been built to help. “Damn this sucks!” Sonic huffed as he crossed his arms, a pout upon his features; Kurisu and Shadow exchanged an amused glance, a slight sadness still apparent in both eyes; the heaviness weighing down the usually light-hearted atmosphere. “Hey there, I was looking for you all…” Blue eyes turned and looked upon the person that had entered into the room, a warm smile upon Kurisu’sfeatures. “Hello Maria…”
It was the sounds of crashing that caught his attention, like something was being torn apart and smashed in anger. Ears shifted as he skidded to a stop, bare feet burning against the concrete surface of the sidewalk; eyebrows were furrowed as he listened closer and slowly turned his head in the direction the noises came from. Knuckles, who had not expected the hybrid to suddenly stop, had to turn around and jog back to the boy, a questioning frown on his muzzle. Chris, having finally figured out where the sound was coming from, darted off down a side street, feet pounding across the ground at a moderate pace, following the sounds and the feelings that got stronger as he got closer. His mark seemingly having fused with him completely to tell him where the creature now was situated; Knuckles did not say anything, now hearing and feeling the pull of his own that was leading him in the same direction. A roar of anger was heard as the splash of water crashing against the ground came towards them; laughter of a familiar voice also drifted to their spot and Chris slowed slightly, suddenly apprehensive with seeing his old friend once again. A nudge made him turn his head and he saw Knuckles hold out a hand, understanding in his gaze at the nervousness that the Hybrid was feeling. Without hesitation Chris linked hands and fingers slipped together in a firm hold; giving a small smile to each other, an unknown emotion showing in both eyes, they nodded; darting off at full speed they ran for the entrance to the square from the street they were on and the voices of the one they had been searching for. Rushing to the entrance of the side-street, Knuckles then stopped and turned to look at Chris one more time, a question conveyed in his purple eyes. The hybrid, feeling the gaze looked over and nodded, knowing what the other wanted, though his expression clearly said that he would not stand for the other taking control too often. Giving a smirk with a grin, Knuckles raced out of the street into the square and straight for the creature that was aiming a sharp talon clawed hand at Sonic. “NOT SO FAST!” His ears pricked hearing Knuckles voice and quietly with no sound he stepped out of the alleyway and stood near one of the buildings that was near where Sonic and the creature had done battle, or so he could see with the damage wrought by the both of them; Eggman was hovering above, a smug smirk upon his face and behind Sonic and Knuckles who were now conversing. And behind Sonic was Cream and Cheese, a cat creature he’d never seen and… ‘No this CAN’T BE!’ His breath went short, eyes wide as his gaze turned upon the human with the two anthro’s; there standing between them was himself or his human like self. Stepping backwards reflectively, he pressed against the wall, his lowered ears only very distantly hearing the battle that was taking place between the Echidna, hedgehog and—as he heard Eggman call it—the Chaos creature. Hands went flat against the brickwork, his sensitive fingertips feeling every part of the surface they were laid upon. Slowly, he sank to the ground, back scraping against the wall harshly and grazing the skin, though he did not feel it. Blue eyes ran over the boy, taking in every detail, hoping that what he was seeing was not true; light brown strands of hair that stuck up slightly were in a familiar hairstyle, blue eyes with worry watched the fight and hands fisted; the clothes he wore were also familiar as he remembered wearing them as the Chaos Emeralds power had burned them away leaving no trace behind. Looking down from his position slumped on the ground, he lifted his hands up to eye level and looked them over to try to see anything that was the same as before; ears at this time were flat against his head, tail curled in comfort around his legs. A cry caught his attention and he glanced up, saddened blue eyes widening in fright as a clawed hand came straight at him. Trying to move quickly, he only just got to his feet when the hand rammed him into the wall and clamped itself around his throat, restricting his airway until no breath could pass to his lungs. He flailed his body thrashing against the punishing grip; slowly the creature, who was staring at him with empty green orbs, lifted him from his support and he had to grapple a hold on the creature’s arm. The hybrid was trying to gasp for air, his chest heaving.; faintly hearing the voice of an angered Knuckles as he tried to get to him and a calm but furious Sonic. Tears streamed down his face involuntary as his body fought for survival, the edges of his vision going black. Eyes wondered around searching and again landed on the boy who was staring back with horrified blue eyes. It was in that moment he realised that standing in-front of him was the real Christopher Thorndyke, the lad who had lived with his parents and helped Sonic on his journey. It was this realisation that brought out a whole knew strength in him, forcing out a scream of all emotions that sounded fully inhuman, he pulled violently on the creatures arm and was able to swing his legs up to the left side of the creature. Snarling a silent sound he brought, with full force, a kick from his left foot that sent the creature flying back into a building on the other side of the square. Luckily for him the creatures grip had loosened and slid off leaving three deep scratches that blood slowly seeped from; landing in a crouch he fell to his hands and knees, bangs falling over his eyes shadowing his face. Looking upwards, he watched as Sonic and Knuckles finished off the Chaos creature, their anger giving them the strength to overcome the powerful creature. Eggman, infuriated, flew off as soon as possible to escape the two anthro’s reach, Knuckles snarls following him all the way to his ship. Eyes wondered back over to the boy and he felt despair run through him, if that was the real Chris then… “Who am I??” It was a whisper, but as a hand was placed on his shoulder and squeezed, it was clearly heard by the other. Looking up into those purple eyes Chris felt himself lose control. Gripping the other hand that was held out to him he slid his fingers through the Echidna’s and both of them turned their gazes to the human who stared back and forth nervously at the intense gazes of the two. Then Sonic’s voice broke the stillness. “Hey now… What’s going on?!”
