The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 23

   "I'm going to go see if the others need my help. Will you be okay here, Blaze?"
"Yeah, Wave. You go ahead. I'll just sleep."
"Okay. I'll be back."
Wave left her room and looked both ways to see if Jason was nearby. She took the corridor to the right and started running. She was almost with the others when a door opened and a hand pulled her inside. The door closed and she was held against the wall.
"Hey, Wave. How's it going?"
"Jason. You have to stop this. Mekka's just using you to get what he wants."
"Shut up!" yelled Jason. "You just don't get it, do you?" he said a little bit softer. "I'm not doing this just for Mekka. This is my destiny. This is what I was made for. And beating people up, I must admit, is pretty fun."
"Well, then concentrating on beating up the enemy."
"You're the enemy now." said Jason.
He raised his fist to punch her. But he didn't.
"See? You can't do it, can you?"
He punched a spot on the wall a couple centimeters from Wave's head. Then he threw her to the ground. Hard. She slowly got back on her feet, just when Jason reached out and held her up by the neck.
"What was that about not being able to do it?" he asked.
"Hey!" came a voice. Jason turned to see who it was. "Think fast." said Blaze as she launched a fireball at Jason.
He let go of Wave who scrambled to her feet and ran out of the room.
"Hold on." said Blaze. When the door shut, she used her fire to seal the door closed. "That should hold him for now."
"Yeah. But for how long?"
"Hey! Blaze! Wave!"
"They turned around.
"Hey, Sonic. What's up?" asked Wave.
"Where's Jason?" asked Silver.
Just then there was banging on the door.
"That answer your question?" asked Blaze.
"Come on!" urged Jet. "We have to get off this ship. I set it on a collision course for a nearby mountain. We only have 5 minutes to escape!"
"Well, lead the way, Jet." said Blaze.
They all made their way to the escape pods.
"Okay. Choose your ride." said Jet, jokingly. They all looked the same.
"I call this one!" Sonic said, hopping into one and closing the door. "This is cool! Almost like a ride!"
A minute later everyone was in a pod heading for the ground. Once the pods landed, the tops popped off and everyone climbed out. The ship was still heading for the mountain. About 2 minutes later, it impacted. The explosion kicked up a lot of dust.
"You think he's dead?" asked Jet.
"No. Probably not." said Wave.
"There were no pods left." Blaze said.
"I really don't think he needs one, Blaze." said Wave.
"We should probably find someplace to stay the night." suggested Tails.
