Sonic.Exe The Spirits Of Hell (Y/N)

Chapter 8, Hidden Palace.

Y/N landed on the ground with Ruby still in his arms, his ears perked up as he looked around, seeing the familiar green platforms, crystals, tubes, etc. Y/N also realized they're currently in Lava Reef Zone, as there's lava around, so they're in the mix of Hidden Palace and lava reef

Y/N: "Knuckles told me we could use the Master Emerald, we should get going."

Y/N then sat Ruby down, who looked up at him and smiled softly

Ruby: "Alright, let's go."

Ruby and Y/N began traversing the area, jumping over lava, destroying robots, collecting rings, they're both skilled fighters, so they used their abilities like spindashes, homing attacks, and dropdashes, until they finally come across a familiar part of Hidden Palace, they walked through and saw Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman, all gathered around the Master Emerald, not noticing Y/N and Ruby yet

Tails: "When I was near him, I felt like I was going crazy! It felt like there were illusions or something."

Knuckles: "Illusions? I encountered him, but he just appeared out of nowhere."

Dr. Eggman: "So he can create illusions too? Knuckles, what about the Master Emerald?"

Tails: "Wait!"

Both Knuckles and Dr. Eggman look over at Tails in confusion

Tails: "Did either of you meet a red hedgehog? He had blue eyes, and blue quills at the tips, he was with me before we got separated."

Knuckles: "That guy? I was with him before I passed out, I woke up in Hidden Palace."

Dr. Eggman: "I was also with him, he went with me through the cave.."

Tails: "Do you think he's-"

Y/N: "Yo guy!"

All three of them turned to look at Y/N, not noticing Ruby, who was hiding behind him

Tails: "How'd you survive!?"

Y/N: "Eh, it was pretty tough, but the good thing is that I'm here, and I brought someone."

Y/N moves to the side, showing Ruby, who looks nervous but speaks up

Ruby: "Uhm, Hi!"

Y/N: "Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, meet my girlfriend, Ruby."

All three looked at him in surprise, they didn't even know his name yet and now they know he has a girlfriend.

Tails: "Dude, what even is your name?"

Y/N: "Oh my Gaia, I never told any of you. Well, my name is Y/N."

Ruby then hugs Y/N softly, who happily hugs back.

Y/N: "Anyways, Knuckles, what about the Master Emerald?"

Suddenly, the big green emerald started flashing

Knuckles: "The Master Emerald! wants to.. show us something.."

All five of them were then transported to Green Hill Zone, but it was a day ago, they see Sonic get off his call with Tails, then he looks up and something black absorbs into his mouth, then his eyes turn pitch black with red pupils, just like the fake Sonic that's been hunting them.

Knuckles: "So, a creature corrupted Sonic?"

Dr. Eggman: "I knew something was wrong with Sonic. We need to get to my base, immediately!"

Y/N: "That place isn't safe anymore."

Guys, I understand that you're all shocked, but Sky Sanctuary is where we should go, it's a sacred place that Sonic can't enter!"

Y/N and Knuckles: "Tails.. I think it's.."

Dr. Eggman: "It's a wonderful idea! My devices will work perfectly!"

Knuckles: "So, will we be teleporting to Sky Sanctuary?"

Ruby, Y/N, Dr. Eggman, and Tails in sync: "Yes!"

Knuckles: "Master Emerald, we need your help! Teleport us to Sky Sanctuary!"

And in a flash of white light..
