Lost Memories

Part 3; Chapter 10 - Christmas

(Wow, this chapter is nearly 5,000 words long- and a good chunk of it is just me rambling about the Steve Calendar- There is a part you can skip, but you'd probably want to resume reading about seven paragraphs to the end. And with that, let's get on to the chapter. Merry Christmas!)

=Sabre's POV=

"Sabre!!" I heard a voice call. It was distant. It didn't sound like the distorted voice of Shadow. A soft, kind, soothing and familiar voice.

"Rainbow..." I muttered. My vision returned to me as I reached out my right hand. The tingling sensation returned to my left arm, as annoying as ever, as I tried to sit up. I blinked a bit, managing to get a better view of my surroundings.

There were pistons holding my legs in place, and my left arm was tied to a wooden board. I felt bandages wrapped around my body and I had a pounding headache. 

"Shadow..." I whispered, "make the headache go away.. please.." I heard a few clanging noises, then something shattered. I raised my head, looking over at the bars to the cell I was in, watching tiredly as Rainbow climbed in through them.

That's nice..

He's saving me...

"Don't worry Sabre, I gotchu!" He said enthusiastically, breaking the pistons and helping me out of the bed I was in. I smiled down at him as he put my arm over his shoulders, then just went ahead and picked him up.

"Eek-! Hey, you're supposed to be all weak and tired!" Rainbow argued as I stepped through the opening he had made. "I feel surprisingly refreshed :D" I lied.

"Even with your injuries!?" Rainbow worried. I shrugged, carrying him as I navigated the base. I kicked a lever under a table, which activated a few pistons that made a bridge over a lava filled gap. To be honest, my entire body was aching and stinging in pain, threatening to collapse at any moment. The only thing keeping me from collapsing right then and there was my little Raindrop in my arms...

"Where's Elemental?" I asked, vaguely remembering the evil British man taking us through the portal and blowing my right side to shreds. "Oh, I actually gave him the last known location of my friend who knows where some super powerful items are!" He said happily.

"You whAT-" I nearly dropped him at this in surprise, but quickly remembered that I didn't want him hitting me with a stick. "Even if Elemental does find them, they aren't stupid. They're probably gonna laugh at him chaotically as they do and then leave." Rainbow stated blatantly, adjusting himself in my arms.

"Who's your friend?" I asked. "Their name is Hypno! :D" Rainbow replied giddily. "Oh?" I tilted my head as I saw sunlight stream in through an opening. "Yeah! They're a cyclops and it's really cool. You actually really hated them when you were a Blue Steve." He told me.

"So I knew them, huh?" I asked. Rainbow nodded. "Why didn't I like them?" I wondered as I went towards the sunlight. 

"Well, they tried to turn us against each other, attempted to hurt me on multiple occasions, impersonated your voice, separated us,-"

"Okay yeah I can see why I didn't like them."

"They helped me out in the end, though! And honestly, if it weren't for their help, we would've never seen each other again!"

"hmm, okay then."

I set Rainbow down as I stopped at the entrance, looking down at the 50 block drop in front of us. Well then >:/

Rainbow looked up a me, his expression reading something like "I'm surprised but I'm not surprised." I put my hands on my hips and huffed. Honestly I was kinda expecting this.
