What Did We Do...

Chapter 8 - Step up

(This took a while hope you enjoy)

Silver's POV

Oh Gaia. Please just be blacked out. Keycard. Would that even work with no power?

Sonic: I told you it wasn't a trap!
Shadow: That's not the point! Stop running off into possible danger!
Sonic: Oh yeah! Because someone in trouble is ALWAYS a trap!
Shadow: You such a —

Sonic and Shadow argued back and forth. I am growing tired of this.

Silver: ENOUGH!

They both turned to me with angry scowls. I froze in a little fear. I haven't stopped their fights like this before but someone's life is on the line this time. I took a breath and spoke.

Silver: You two stop fighting. We need to help get this hedgehog out of here!
Sonic: How?
Silver: Look for a keycard.
Shadow: I don't know how that will work.
Sonic: I think we should try hitting the glass again. >-_-< Fine will look for a keycard.

Sonic and Shadow dashed in different direction to look for the key. I turned my attention back to the brown hedgehog.

Silver: Hey. Kid. Are you still awake? Please still be awake.

The mystery hedgehog lifted their head up a little. His eyes were a little drowsy but was still kicking. Good.

Silver: Hey! Come on. Stay awake. We're going to get you out of here.

He nodded his head slightly. There's no telling how long this kid has been here. He looks starving and tired. I know that feeling all too well. It takes a while until I see Shadow zip back with nothing in hand.

Shadow: Couldn't find one. If Sonic doesn't come back with one I'm breaking the glass.
Silver: Just be careful when you do.

I was thinking about just smashing the glass as well. We wait a bit more. Sonic comes back with something.

Silver: Sonic please tell me that is a-
Sonic: A keycard!? Yep!

Sonic quickly said before opening the door and running inside to pick up the brown hedgehog and bring him out.
Is this place still working or not?

Silver: What do we do with him now?
Shadow: We take him back with us.
Sonic: Then what? Let him go out and about on his own in a world full of people he doesn't know about.
Shadow: No. We'll have to...take care of him.
Silver and Sonic: What!?

Sonic and I looked at each other in then back to Shadow. Was he serious? Us take care of someone? Is he okay?

Sonic: Shadow, we can't—
Shadow: He has powers and possibly skills that only we can teach him about.
Silver: But-
Shadow: Do you two have any better ideas?

Silence. We maybe skeptical about taking care of a kid but we also can't just let him wonder around by himself not knowing what's going on. And if Eggman or someone worse were to find out about what this and what he was meant for...

Silver: He's got a point Sonic.
Sonic: *pouting* He always has a point. *sign* Fine. Some else want to carry him.
Silver: I'll do it.

I lifted the passed out hedgehog with my powers and set him on my back. He's so light and I can feel his bones. How do you survive down here for so long?
