The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 6

There was a loud metallic bang. Jason looked down at Silver and then looked over his shoulder and saw the cat just staring at him, mouth partially open. The whole room was silent. He looked back down at Silver. Silver opened his eyes and looked to his right. The metal chair leg hit the desk one millimeter away from his head. He looked up at Jason and didn't say a word. Jason lifted the chair leg and held it at his side. He turned around and looked at the cat. He walked over to her and stared.
"Don't do what?" he said. He continued to walk out of the room and down the hallway that leads to the front entrance. Silver tried to slowly get up but he fell on his knees. He tried again, this time using the desk as support. The cat walked over to him.
"Blaze... what happened?" asked Silver.
"He didn't kill you." Blaze responded.
"Why?"
"...I don't know. I'll go talk to him." She started walking out of the room.
"Blaze..." Silver started. Blaze stopped and looked over her shoulder.
"Be careful."
She nodded and continued walking.
Jason sat down on the stairs near the front entrance. He looked up though the hole in the ceiling where the missile crashed through. He heard a door open and looked to see what it was. A group of kids slowly walked out of the auditorium.
"Is he gone?" one of them asked.
"Yeah... he's gone."
He looked down at the floor. The kids ran out of the lobby and ran down a hallway to the right. He heard a noise behind him about one foot away. He got up and walked towards the auditorium doors and went in. Blaze walked in, too. Jason had disappeared. She walked down the aisle looking behind all the rows of chairs. She got to the bottom and still no sign of Jason. She turned around to walk back out to the lobby and ran into Jason.
"Ahh!" she gasped. "Oh. You scared me."
"Why are you following me?"
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What?" he said deeply as he sat down in one of the seats.
"You're not with Mekkaku."
"Is that a question or a statement?"
"Mostly a question."
"So you mostly don't trust me."
"I didn't say that."
"No, you didn't." he said as he stood up. "But you don't entirely trust me."
"We just met you."
"You just attacked me."
"We saw you talking to Mekkaku and we thought...
"You thought what? Did you even hear what we were saying?"
"Uh... well..." she paused. "No"
"No."
"Look, I'm sorry, okay?"
"You're sorry? I almost killed Silver."
"But you didn't. Why?"
He didn't answer. He just looked at the floor. He then looked up and said quietly, "I couldn't."
"Why?"
"Maybe because I had a feeling he wasn't with Mekkaku."
"Is that one of your powers?"
"I don't know. I'm still getting used to them."
"Hmm. Well, what're you going to do now?"
"I don't know. Maybe..." He all of a sudden had another feeling.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong."
"What?"
"Wave."

Wave slowly opened her eyes and got up.
"Uh. Jet? Jet! Where are you?"
She looked around to see if she could see anything. The smoke stung her eyes and she had to close them.
"Jason! Help!"

"Where're you going?"
"I've got to help Wave."
"Let us help you."
"Who? You and Silver?"
"Yeah. But if something's wrong, we better go now."
They headed towards the front doors when Metal Sonic appeared. Looking down at the floor, Metal Sonic spoke. "Well, well, well." He looked up and his eyes lit up. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Step aside, robot. I have to save Wave!"
"I am Metal Sonic. And I don't think she'll live to see tomorrow."
"What did you do?"
