Y/N pov:

I turn as I hear the familiar laugh behind us, it's Dr. Eggman, great. "I knew that wretched octopus was lying when he said all of you were dead! Now I have to clean It up myself!" Whisper readies her weapon, and has a look of determination on her face. I can tell she's scared though. Eggman looks at you with a malicious smile. "Leading more lambs to the slaughter, eh? I should thank you for making it a bit easier for me!" She looks at me, determination replaced by fear and concern. I feel a sudden urge to protect her, as if she couldn't protect herself, moron. I smile to her and walk towards Eggman. Why am I walking to him? I can't do anything! What am I doing, what am I doing, what am I-

"That's all you see me as? A lamb? Jokes on you for underestimating us!" I know I won't be able to defend myself if he tries something, but hopefully he won't call my bluff. "What do you mean, underestimate?" Suddenly an entire platoon of robots appears on the hill behind Eggman. Oh boy... "Run!" Whisper says as we try to run back to the house, lasers flying all around us. Some stray shots knock down some trees, and we dive behind them for cover.

"Two dozen at least, closing fast." Whisper says, as she opens fire on the robots. Her mask is on now. "You wouldn't happen to have an extra wispon would you?" She doesn't stop firing. "No." Great, so I die here instead, I'm not sure if I prefer the forest, or the plaza. Suddenly I flash back to the plaza, seeing my friends and fellow soldiers die all over again, i-i can't watch more friends die, I can't, I can't,

I CANT DO IT!!

Suddenly an egg pawn comes over the trees, knocks Whisper down, and is about to finish her. Adrenaline fills my veins, and I yell, "GET AWAY FROM HER!" I punch the robot as hard as I can, and it falls over. It hurts my knuckles, and i see their bleeding. Whisper gets up and shoots it, giving me a thankful glance. Another robot comes over the trees and hits me, I go flying a foot or two backwards. "Y/N!!" Whisper yells, she shoots the egg pawn, and runs to me. "Are you ok!?" I look at her, my vision is a bit blurry and I'm dizzy. "I'm ok..." she picks me up and runs back to the house, using the rocket wisps powers to propell the both of us forward.

Once we get back to the house, she throws me a hover wispon. The green wisp pops out of her wispon, and into mine. "Alright, I can work with that..." I wait for the robots to get close, before opening the door and blowing them away with the wispon. I grin in satisfaction. Whisper is taking down robots with deadly efficiency. Eggman hovers close the the house, the glass panel on his egg pod activated. "When will you stop fighting? This is getting boring!"

Whisper shoots the glass, but it bounces off. "HAH! Its fiberglass, can't get through!" Whisper and I continue battling the robots, when loud beeps start coming from Eggmans computer. "What!? HOW HAS THAT MISERABLE RODENT BREACHED CONTAINMENT!?"
He presses a button on his jacket. "All units return to the Death Egg! You got lucky once again, Diamond Cutter!" Eggman speeds away, the robots quickly following.

Whisper sighs as she calms down. "We need to leave, now..." I look at her, nodding. "Agreed..." I help her quickly pack up the essentials, and we meet on the porch. Whisper looks at me, a bit of sadness in her eyes. "So, you going back home?" I look at her, a bit sad too. "That was really just a ploy to get you to let me go, I don't have a home anymore, it was destroyed by Eggman, and I'm pretty sure all my friends are either dead or in other places in the world..." She puts a hand on my shoulder. "You can come with me if you want, just stay with each other, y-you can leave whenever though..."

"Heh, that sounds great!"

A/N: this chapter is a bit longer, because a friend of mine who reads this really likes action reads, so I tried to put a lot of details in, also sorry if your upset that we haven't gotten to the actual romance yet, it would just feel too unnatural to me if it was really quick, there has to be more development of feelings and bonds. So what I'm saying is that i'm trying to be smart, but I'm going about it in a very stupid way.

Wow, 800 words exactly, feels good man.
