Fleetway's Torment

Fleetway's Suffering

(Nobody Pov:) Fleetway managed to fall asleep but that may have been the worst mistake in his life. 

Fleetway would open his eyes and see himself in a void. Curiously, he got up on his feet and looked around. Nothing... just an abyss of nothing. Fleetway's thoughts drifted to his friends and his surroundings shifted. He was in a house, cluttered full of different items. He could hear voices. Two.

He moved towards the voices and found Scourge and Infinite talking when he noticed the unconcious red wolf on a chair nearby.

'Guys?' Fleetway spoke to them yet neither heard him. Knowing they couldn't hear him, he assumed they also couldn't see him. Observing the wolf, he felt Exe's connection to them. Maybe this was just his psyche telling him because Exe resurrected him or if the wolf was him.

Yet, the wolf awoke without a sound. Getting up slowly, creeping towards the pair. Fleetway tried to grab their wrist, pull them back, do anything but it had no affect. His heart throbbed with worry at what the wolf would do. His answer would come in a second.

The wolf had slit Infinite's throat and ripped the ruby out of his chest, killing him. Scourge in a rage, kicked them hard in the gut. A mistake.

The wolf grabbed his foot and bite down on it, devouring it. Scourge would fall to the ground with a scream. The attacker had a bloody, toothy grin as he observed the hedgehog's suffering. Picking up the phantom ruby, they stabbed it into Scourge's face. Screams were all Fleetway heard for at least a minute until they got quieter... and quieter...untill nothing.

Fleetway was struggling to breath as he saw this. He looked at the murderer again and when he did.. they were looking at him with their empty eyes.

Fleet shut his eyes tight and just hoped for it to be over but once again.. nothing. After about 20 seconds, he opened his eyes and found himself in the hospital...but it was covered in blood. He was in the ward where Manic and Silver had been. Looking at their beds, he found their bodies ripped apart. He'd seen a small blue hedgehog... dead in Manic's arms.

(No Sunkys were harmed in the creation of this chapter)

Observing the chaos, his mind tried to wander who was safe. Silver, Manic and this hedgehog were dead. Scourge and Infinite had died. Mephiles, X and Exe were nowhere to be seen...

His surroudings shifted once more and this time it was of the sanctum. Half of it had been torn apart by a battle of some kind. Moving down, he found the remains of X. His form having been torn apart like the others.

Fleetway then heard the sound of a distant struggle. He recognised the voices. Exe's and Mephiles's. He rushed closer and closer and when he had arrived, he saw Mephiles with blood dripping from his quills and mouth. Clearly having bitten straight into Exe's neck from the visible wound on Exe. Exe groaned and screeched in pain as Mephiles' nails increased in size before becoming claws and digging into his chest  before ripping out his rib cage.

Exe would survive for a few more moments until Mephiles ripped out his heart and his cold red eyes glowed for the last time before diminishing completly.

Fleetway vomited. He vomited for 20 seconds. Feeling his stomach turn upside down. What the fuck had he just seen? Had it happened? Will it happen?

Mephiles walked closer to him and as Fleetway tried to get away, Mephiles placed a hand on his shoulder. Cold and bloody, Mephiles would hug Fleetway. Fleetway looked at him. He had began crying. Knowing how he felt about Exe, Fleet knew Mephiles wasn't crying from his guilt. But maybe..loss. 

These events were likely all connected and this was the end. Fleet could have helped them. Could of stopped this from happening. But he was lying in bed.

'No... I won't let this... I won't let it be like this!' Fleetway would say as he also began crying. Red energy surrounded him and Mephiles. Chaos energy.

'I won't let it be like this, Mephiles.' As Fleetway glowed, Mephiled observed him. Feeling Fleetway become hot to the touch.

'Chaos Blast!' Fleetway exploded like a  nuke, destroying the entirety of Exe's sanctum and Mephiles. He wouldn't let this happen. He couldn't. Everything around him went black untill he screamed and opened his eyes.

He panted for air which felt like it would never come. A thought crossed his mind that made him ignore his breathing situation as he used his speed to reach where he'd seen Exe and Mephiles fighting.  Untouched, like the sanctum had been.

Still, tears threatened to come out from his eyes as he saw them blur. In a whimper, Fleetway spoke.

'X. C-can you..help me?' The moment felt like an eternity though it was only a few seconds until the familar red flash was in Fleetway's vision.

The tall blue hedgehog looked down at Fleetway, noticing his eyes that looked as if they would leak an ocean.
'What do you need?' X spoke softly.
'C-can you take me to...Mephiles?' Fleetway spoke with cracks for almost every word.
'Of course.' X gently extended his hand which Fleetway took.

After the red flash that Fleetway had grown used to, he was looking at a bar. Mephiles was nowhere in sight.

'Where is M-Mephiles?' Fleetway spoke with fear in his voice. 
'He is inside.' X answered as he looked at Fleetway. A single tear leaked from his eyes before he just couldn't stop. Fleetway tried to wipe his eyes yet he was crying to much.

X got on his knees and puts his arms around Fleetway. He was shocked for a moment before returning the hug. His tears drenched X's blue fur with no indication they'd stop.

'It is okay Fleetway. He is safe. Everyone is safe. You are safe.' X gently patted Fleetway's back.
'I saw everyone... die. You, Scourge, Infinite, Silver, Manic, Exe, the little hedgehog-'
'Sunky-'
'Sunky.. Everyone but Mephiles. Mephiles was crying and I need to help him.' Fleetway continued to speak with voice cracks but X did not care. All he cared for was helping Fleetway out of his abyss of sorrow.

'What you saw was a nightmare Fleetway. I know it may have felt, looked and seemed real but know that it wasn't.'
'B-but what if it happens-'
'It won't. Believe me Fleetway that the subconcious can sometimes torment the mind. This is just one of those moments.'
'Fuck my subconcious...I hate it.' X would give a soft laugh and continue patting Fleetway's back. The tears were slowing down.

'When you walk in there, Mephiles will be there. He will be safe-'
'What if..he isn't?'
'He will.' Seeing X's belief that he will and the care that X is giving him, he stops crying completly.

He'd end the hug and X soon would to. 'T-thank you X.' X gently rubbed Fleetway's head.
'You're always welcome, Fleetway.'  X would get up from his knees and smile softly at Fleetway.
'You'll be fine.'
'I-I know...' Fleet would smile back.
'Goodbye.'
'Bye X.' X would then disappear after a flash.

Fleetway would take a deep breath and put on a brave face and slowly open the door to the bar.

(I totally didn't cry while writing this. No? No who told you that? Liar!)

(Yeah I did)
