SNT Vs. Sonichu 3: Fractured Fantasy

Chapter 5: The Beginning of a Journey

"Ugg..." Rookie started to feel his consciousness come back a little. He felt his body facing up on a soft surface which he concluded was most likely a bed.

"Rookie! Rookie! Please, wake up!" said a familiar voice to the young red wolf. The sounds of her angelic voice always calmed him down. There was something special about it.

He decided to try and call her name. "S... SN... SNT?" His eyes started to open, but he still couldn't see anything.

"Rookie..." The voice cried out for him. "I'm so happy that you are ok!"

"It seems that you have a very weak heart!" said another voice he didn't recognize. Rookie's vision then started to clear up a little. He was able to see light illuminating in front of him and 2 silhouettes of two people. One was made of a light blue figure who seemed familiar, and the other of a dark blue figure.

"Where are we?" he asked.

SNT then got into her thinking position. "Well, that is quite a mystery. Do you want the basic answer, or do you want the complex answer?"

"Well, judging by you being here, I am guessing I am in another dimension," Rookie concluded.

"Well yeah that is a good guess. The place we are in seems in between dimensions really," SNT answered. "It seems that somehow you have come to a place where there is no concept of time, as we are in a place where time stands still."

"You... you're... pulling my leg SNT," Rookie sort of snickered a little bit.

"I'm telling you the truth, Rookie. I know it's kind of hard to understand what is going on, but why would I lie to you?" SNT explained.

"She is telling the truth," explained the fox on Rookie's right side. "I like to call this place purgatory, but it's true. Thanks to SNT here, if she didn't dive in after you, you could have died in the middle of the ocean."

Rookie sat up and looked at SNT, "I... um... SNT, I don't know how to repay you for how you saved me back there."

"Oh Rookie, you don't need to thank me. It was my pleasure!" SNT laughed, "I'm just happy to see you alive." She then proceeded to smile as suddenly her aura started to expose itself.

Rookie's heart started to once again hurt. "AAAAAHHH!"

"Rookie! Calm down!" the blue fox then got a hold of him. "Your heart is extremely weak. Please calm yourself."

Oh my, SNT thought to herself. "Subaru, is he going to be ok?"

Subaru put Rookie down and then went to the desk to start mixing chemicals together. "I am trying to make some medicine to try and strengthen that heart a little. Also to unclog some of those blood vessels. This seems to be the only thing in which I can do without giving you surgery."

"Is that what you are suggesting?" Rookie asked. "Should I get some sort of surgery?"

"Yeah, I would suggest that," Subaru confirmed. "Could I give you some medicine to help?"

"Thank you! That would be helpful," Rookie smiled.

"Wait!" Suddenly, another familiar face then comes into the room from the boat. The child then gets out her book and sets it on the table next to Subaru.

"You know I need that space right?"

"Subaru, you know your brewing formulas like that won't work? Especially if they are untested," she explained.

"Cas!" Subaru yelled at her. "You know magic is not the answer to everything, right?"

"But it can be to make this little wolf a little stronger!" She responded as she then walked up to Rookie. "Don't worry about anything, that little heart of yours will be stronger than ever once I finish with you!"
