Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 35

"Hi-yah! Hi-yah Hi-yah!"

Amy used a hammer to smack away at one of the glowing magical walls imprisoning her and the other people attending the now defunct DWMA celebration. The hammer wasn't as immense as another noteworthy hammer. The weapon was fairly sized for the pink hedgehog, but the wall didn't seem affected by this particular exercise.

"That's enough, Amy," Eggman advised. "This is a null space prison. We're essentially in Death City, and not in Death City at the same time. All we can do is wait for the spell to expire,"

Amy frowned, putting her glowing weapon down.

"My mom's out there..." Cream returned to rabbit form looking especially destitute.

Amy held up a determined fist. "Don't worry, Cream. Vanilla's super tough. She can handle herself out there!"

Eggman nodded. "She's right, Cream. There are few people qualified to be my personal weapon. I chose your mother because she's the strongest of them all,"

Cream nodded, her worry ebbed somewhat.

"You told us we're trapped here because the enemy is attacking the DWMA. But why are they attacking us?" Amy asked.

Eggman sighed. "I don't have enough information to be certain, but there's only one thing that necessitates a plan that would go this far,"

Eggman stood up to address all the other trapped guests.

"Everyone, I have an important announcement,"

The crowd's attention was brought together immediately.

"There's a kishin sleeping beneath Death City,"

The crowd chatted worriedly until there was an uproar of concern. Amy frowned at Eggman.

"Don't just drop a bombshell like that so suddenly!"

"I wanted to treat it like ripping off a band-aid," Eggman replied meekly.

"Cream, help me out," Amy sighed.

Cream shifted back into her hammer form. Amy slammed the weapon on the ground. The loud boom echoed around; the crowd went silent.

"Thank you Amy," Eggman addressed the crowd again. "The kishin has been asleep under Death City for some time. I kept the kishin from waking by using a machine that's also connected with my soul. I'm bound to the machine, and even though being in null space has weakened the connection, my soul is not completely cut off. This confirms that the null space prison is still attached to Death City. We will be returned once it wears off,"

The crowd had calmed somewhat, but there was still no shortage of speculative whispers when Eggman continued.

"I believe the barrier is part of a larger plan that may allow our enemies to try waking the kishin. Luckily, Doctor Starline managed to escape and can oppose the enemy. He has two death scythes at his disposal alongside several talented meisters and weapons. I understand this is all very concerning. I'm at fault in many ways. Let's focus on the current situation, and plan for our return to Death City,"

More murmuring came. Eggman humored some minor questions from different people in the crowd.

Amy was feeling a bit annoyed with herself. When Sonic pulled away from her on the dance floor, she was stunned. Sonic knew something was wrong, and went to help without hesitating. Maybe if she'd kept a level head, she would have gone over to help as well. Instead, she was stuck here while so many of her friends were the only thing standing between Death City and the kishin.
