The Apocalypse 2: Rise of Zephiles [The Original]

Ch. 15

"Jason. Jason, wake up." "Huh?" Jason said, opening his eyes. He let out a gasp. "Wave!" he yelled, quickly sitting up. "Wave?" "She's gone, Jason." Blaze said. "She left with Mephiles." "It's all my fault." Jason said, standing up. "I should've stopped her." "You did what you could. I know you couldn't hit her." Jason headed back to the van. "What's the next move?" asked Blaze, following him. "I'm gonna find Mephiles and kill him." Jason said, opening the driver's side door. "How 'bout a way to do that?" she asked. "Jason?" He didn't hear her. Or he just didn't answer. "Jason!" Jason drove the van into the garage and got out. The others were waiting. "Where were you?" asked Silver. He noticed scratch marks on Jason's neck and Blaze's arms. "What happened?" "It was Wave." Jason said. "Whatever Mephiles put in her has completely taken over. She's become a monster." "Oh, no." said Tails sympathetically. "I liked her." "We all did, Tails." said Sonic. "Is there a plan?" asked Knuckles. "We need to find them first before we can do anything." said Blaze. "Yeah." said Jason. "But where to look." "Why didn't you let me finish him?" Wave asked. She was crawling on the wall next to Mephiles. "It's not time yet." "But don't you want to kill him so he won't interfere?" "You don't seem to understand what will happen the next time we run into Jason." Mephiles said, stepping into an elevator. Wave followed, releasing her grip on the wall. "What's gonna happen?" she asked, standing up on two legs. "Jason misses you deeply. If he sees either one of us, he won't let us out of his sight. We can't risk having him follow us to the machine. We're not ready." "When will we be ready?" Wave asked. "I'm getting bored already." "Patience, Wave. You'll have your chance." The elevator doors opened. They stepped out into a room that contained a huge machine. "Is this it?" Wave asked. "Yes." answered Mephiles. "This is what we're going to use to wipe out the humans." "Just the humans?" Wave asked. "Yes. Those pathetic humans don't deserve this planet. We'll wipe them off the face of the earth." "You really hate them, huh?" "I hate them a lot." Mephiles said. "Especially that Jason." Wave didn't say anything. Mephiles took a few steps forward and then turned around. "You know what? Maybe I will let you have a little fun after all." "Really?" "You will be able to leave this cave at anytime to attack Jason and his friends but only on one condition; you make sure you're not being followed when you return." "You got it." Wave said, getting back into the elevator. When the doors opened again, she stepped out and left the cave.
