In Love with my Nemesis (Sonic x Reader)

If Villains aren't allowed a happy ending, I'll write one myself

(Sonic's P.O.V.)

    I sat there in the grass, shocked. I didn't even know G.U.N. wanted her. It was like some big government secret and I was out of the loop. How long had Shadow known? How long had Rouge known? Did Tails know? I don't normally cry but right now tears are streaming down my face. When did it start raining? How long have I been sitting here staring at the sky, staring at the giant ship keeping the rain off me? "Master Sonic!" "Sonic where are you? Pixie, can't you scan for him?" "It's not in my capabilities however, I think I see him over there." Pixie and Tails approach me drenched in rain. "Sonic, I rushed over as fast as I could. Shadow told me you were kidnapped again. Wait, why are you crying? What happened?" "They took her... They didn't even bother to listen. They just took her and left me here." I probably look pretty pathetic sitting here in the only dry spot in Silver Valley. "We'll get her back. I did some digging and made friends with the mobian in question. Eggman turned her into a machine and (Y/N) helped her turn back with an invention she made. She's waiting in my workshop right now, so let's go." Tails and Pixie pull me to my feet but they have to practically drag me home. I've got no energy left to move. When we enter, I'm greeted by a blue hedgehog handing me a towel to dry off from the rain. Her quills are tied up like a ponytail and she smiles at me with gentle green eyes. If no one knew any better, you'd say we're related. "Hi, I'm Rain. I know, pretty ironic name given the weather. (Y/N) helped me a couple years ago when Eggman was roboticizing people. She invented a deroboticizer and left the blueprints for others to find." I remember those blueprints but that was years ago. (Y/N) was a part of that? I guess we are close in age but I didn't realize we were that close in age. "Somehow G.U.N. got info mixed up and in her records it says she was helping roboticize people, instead of helping deroboticize people. When the info got out, people who didn't know began treating her like a villain. They don't even know the truth and they didn't know the truth of the Esper Project either. They were trying to build super soldiers. None of those espers were volunteers. I should know, my mother was the head of the project. Sonic, you have to save her. They're going to-" I stop her. I know what they're going to do. Only the worst of the worst criminals get that. They think she's more criminal than she actually is. Not once have I ever seen her hurt a living being unless they attacked her first and even then she pulled her punches. If anything, using that logic, us heroes are the real villains for not listening. I know I have to save her and I know just how to do it. "Tails I need your help. We're getting (Y/N) back."

(Reader's P.O.V.)

    I silently stare at the prison walls waiting for the time to come. My end, the end of my story, the end of my life. I feel like this is a fitting end for all villains, even the misunderstood ones. Every story I've read, this is how it ends for the villain. The hero gets the girl and the villain is slain, never to return. Eggman is an exception to the rule despite everything he's done. Why is he the exception and I'm not? Because I'm taking the fall for a thing he did when I was just a child and he still had hair, somewhat. Time moves agonizingly slow and I've taken to braiding my (H/L) (H/C) hair to cope. If I'm going down I should look my best. I suddenly hear the sound of robots. Thanks to these cuffs I can't use my power so these can't be mine, can they? No, impossible. They don't have the free will to do so. Pixie maybe but she follows a program that emulates free will, she doesn't actually have free will. And apparently neither do I. I was doomed from the start. Booms echo and warning signs blare. I see a 3'3 someone wearing an imitation of my armor walk up to my cage. "I think it's time (V/N) got out of time out, don't you agree?" He spindashes and breaks down the cage door. "I can't leave, my cuffs have a tracker." "What cuffs?" I look down and sure enough, the cuffs are no longer on my wrists but on the floor. In his hand, the remote to the cuffs. He scoops me up bridal style but somehow this feels familiar to me. "You deserve your happy ending and there's no way I'm not getting the girl. Now, let's get you out of here." He smirks under the mask. He goes at superspeed, leaving a trail of destruction behind him.

*A few months later*

(Reader's P.O.V.)

    It's been a few months since (V/N)'s great escape. Since then I've changed my hair length and dyed it blue. I've even changed my last name to Hedgehog but that's because this girl decided to put a ring on it. Sonic the hedgehog settling down with some nobody from Westopolis. Imagine the publicity when everyone found out he married a human. Bonus, nobody knows about my criminal record. Apparently, some two-tailed fox in a kitsune mask erased the data when (V/N) escaped. Wonder who that could be? Well, I guess those stories I read got it wrong. The hero still gets the girl but the hero got the villain too, in a good way. "I'm off for a run! (Y/N), you wanna come with?" "Sure, I have a new invention I wanted to try out. Trying to see you outrun it would be a perfect test. I think you'll love this one." He smiles and we both exit our secret lair together. The villain did get the happy end she wanted, and it was the hero who wrote it for her.
