Sonic X 3: Blue Typhoon

Chapter 14: Revenge and a City

I was hot and sweaty after training with Knuckles for two hours, but it felt great to be training again. Silver and I trained as a team and one on one, Knuckles wanted to see how we could handle ourselves. Silver was fighting very well and we were having fun combining different attacks. I taught Silver the Turn and Burn with his abilities and he seemed to have fun doing it.

Silver and I left the training arena and I stretched. "I think I need a shower after all of that."

Silver chuckled. "You sure have come a long way since we met on earth. You know that right?"

I think back to my first time on Angel Island. Knuckles had hid it around the Hawaiian Islands and they had taken me there to keep me safe from Eggman. At least, until we found out what had happened to my parents. I spent most of the time there training to save my parents, I still got shot in the side but I was glad I saved them.

"I knew I changed a lot," I said, putting a hand over my scar. "But looking back I think I changed more than I thought. I know you changed a lot."

"No kidding." Silver said. "Who would have thought I'd wind up as Knuckles apprentice? I just wish Blaze was here to see me now."

I smile at him and put an arm around him. He had grown a little taller over the last year and his head nearly came to my shoulders. "Don't worry. God willing, you'll see her again. If not in this world then certainly in heaven."

Silver wasn't convinced. "But neither of us knew Christ at that time. What if she died not knowing about Jesus? I hope I see her again in this world, so I can share that knowledge with her."

I couldn't find the words to say. At that time I didn't know that Blaze was alive and well in another dimension with a raccoon called Marine, so there was no way I could comfort Silver.

Suddenly, my Touch chimed. I pick it up and answer, seeing it was Vector calling. "What's up Vector?"

"I need your help with a light-bulb in room 280 in level B." He said. "Espio and Charmy are busy so if you could help me with it that would be great."

"On my way Vector." I reply and look at Silver. "Why doesn't he use a latter?"

Silver only shrugged. "I've lived with him as a neighbor for over a year and I still don't know what's going on in his head."

"I'll go give him hand anyway." I said. "Could you pray for me?"

"May I ask why?" Silver asked.

"Vector is asking me to help him," I reply as I start toward the elevator. "God knows what'll happen around him."

Silver laughed. "I'll be in unrest prayer for you then." He said and turned toward his room to shower off.

"There has to be a way to get Sonic." Scourge said as he paced back and forth in front of Ixis and Creek with Fiona watching from a distance. "He'll high-tail it if we get near him with a power gem or a chaos emerald."

Creek stood as still as a statue, rubbing his chin in thought. Soon, an evil grin spread across his face. "Perhaps we can convince him to stand still long enough in order for Fleetway to get a firm hold."

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Scourge asked. "He happens to be the fastest thing on two feet. Getting to stand still for a moment is as possible as pigs flying."

"What if I told you I had a friend who could make that possible?" Creek asked.

Ixis looked at him. "Is she the one you insisted on bringing from Mobius with you?"
