The Apocalypse 2: Rise of Zephiles [The Original]

Ch. 18

Blaze went to make sure the van was prepped and ready to go. Jason took the two syringes that had the sedative he made earlier. The others helped them. When they were done, they gathered in front of the garage. "Okay, guys." said Jason. "We leave here in five minutes for what is probably going to be the most dangerous mission we've been on. Now, I want to thank you all for helping and not giving up like I almost did." "Hey." said Sonic. "What're friends for?" "All right." said Jason. "Everyone get ready." Wave arrived back at Mephiles' base to find him standing in front of the mechanical experimental chamber. Zephiles was hunched in a corner to the right of the experimental chamber. "I see you had some fun." Mephiles said, without turning around. "Yeah. It was awesome." she said, approaching him. "Never had so much fun in my--" Mephiles whipped around, backhanding Wave in the face, knocking her to the ground. In anger, without thinking, she leaped at Mephiles. He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the experimental tube. "You led them right to the cave where the machine was. You're just lucky they didn't decide to go exploring or they may have found it. And we may very well have lost the war." "It won't happen again." Wave said. "It better not." Mephiles said. "Mephiles!" Mephiles turned his head as far as he could to see her. "What?" "It's Jason and the others!" she said, running towards him. She stopped when she was about two feet away "They're planning on attacking." "When?" he asked, still holding onto Wave. "Now." she answered. "No!" Mephiles yelled, dropping Wave to the floor. "It's too soon!" He walked away from the experimental tube. "What's the next move?" asked Zephiles. "We have to act now." Mephiles said. "Zephiles." he said, turning to face him. "It's your turn for some fun. We need to slow down Jason's progress, so I need you to go to the area of New York where Jason is staying and cause as much damage as possible. Make sure you either slow him down or kill him if you have to. Do NOT let him get away." "You got it." Zephiles said. He sprinted outside. unfolded his wings, and took off for New York. "What about me?" Wave asked, still on the ground. "You're staying with me, Wave." Mephiles said. "I have something special in mind that you're going to help me with. And you're NOT going to fail me this time." Wave didn't say anything. She just stared at him, not moving and feeling a little bit of anger.
