Psycho (Sonic OC)

Labyrinth

VII

When we ran inside the Labyrinth, there was a sheet of paper clipped to a bush. I picked it up and read it.

To help you, I suggest you find a COM. They will help you communicate, unless you feel like you'd do better by yourself.

-Yemma.

I rolled my eyes and searched around if there were any. No luck. I folded the paper and put it inside the bush. Running, I found myself in a dead end, or I thought. I took a step closer to the bush and found something inside. I quickly put arm in and felt my finger brush against a box. Pushing my arm deeper into the bush, I finally had hold of the item and pulled it out.

"Yes!" I whispered as I opened the case and pulled out a COM. I fixed it on my ear right, and hit a button. It was static at first, but a voice came in.

"Hello?" I asked singing the "o".

"Iris. You catch on fast. I'm glad you're on my team- are you at the center yet?" I scanned around and saw engravings in the dirt. I gasped and ran into the leaves in front of it. The bush opened up, leading me to another path.

"I'm good! No, we just started."

"And? You said you were good. Now I'm disappointed." Orsyko pouted in my ear. Grunting, I headed into the next path.

"So you got a COM, the next thing is an obstacle I'm assuming." Still running, I looked to my right and left, making sure I didn't miss anything.

"Why would you assume that? Couldn't they put it in any order they'd want? How big was that leak you were talking about?" I heard muffled voices of other Mobians entering our chat.

"You're a bat! Fly your way around the mud, Kathie." I heard a Mobian complain.

"I'm not going to be hearing all of this am I?" I asked Orsyko, at least I was aiming my question toward him. I came to a stop when I saw a trip wire. I slumped my shoulders. Are they even trying? I stepped over the string and continued running. Springs pushed out of the bushes near my head, and I had to duck to miss being hit in the face. I kept ducking until I got to a four corner. I decided to take a right, because choosing a favorite could always be helpful. It was a longer patch, but the floor was muddy. The mud then turned clean, and soon I was walking through water. The water came up to my waist, but it only slowed me down a bit because I had been trained to do stuff like this. I took a left and found myself at a dam. It wasn't too big because I'm in a Labyrinth. I climbed over the edge and found myself back on the grass. After that, I took so many turns and went through so many obstacles I couldn't remember how many there were. I wonder when the plain floor turned to grass in the first place...

You okay? Malkom asked in my head.

Yeah, I'm good. That's right, I only told Orsyko that I'm amazing at this.

Labyrinths? Who knew? You have a COM?

YES.

Just making sure! I hate those, so many Mobians talking at the same time.

More like complaining. I ran up and found myself at a door about eight feet tall.

Hey, what happens when I get to a tall door? I asked him.

You're already at a door?

Yes... I knelt down and traced my finger against some incarnations.

You weren't kidding when you said you're good. You're at the center. I mentally cheered for myself.

I thought it'd be harder. I only had to go through water and other things like the bushes tried to decapitate me.
