Gone astray (Sonic fanfic)

Differences

Zavok's POV

Both were fast, much faster then any of us. The top of the volcano soon came into view, it's lava spewing from all sides. Suddenly, a large stream of lava blocked their path, causing them to stop in their tracks. We caught up with them in a short time, preparing to attack them if needed. "Give back the engine, or else..." I threatened.

At that moment, the sun rose into the sky, shining it's rays to create light. The pair's forms became more visible, revealing the leader's shocking appearance. She was taller then her partner, mostly silver, with black streaks in her hair that parted to the right, the hair length reaching to her knees, waving at the bottom part. Two long black, blue and white horns stuck out, her clenched hands tipped with blue claws. She had a slender upper body, with a silver and black dress with no sleeves, but parted on her left side to reveal long legs that had claws for a highheel. A thick tail waved behind her, her white lips pursed into a frown, glaring at me with cold, blue irises.

I studied her more closely, until her appearance triggered something within my memory. Something I've forgotten long ago. I took a step back, shocked at this revelation. No...it couldn't be. I opened my mouth to speak, one sentence escaped "Zamanthia...is that you?"

  If she was surprised, she didn't show it, all she did was reply coldly "You do remember me after all. How quaint."

  The others were without words, but I began to feel angry. She deserted us long ago, breaking her promise we made when we were younger. I felt furious that she left us...that she left me behind when she said she wouldn't. Now she shows herself again, acting as if I done something to her, and tries to ruin my plans. I stomped towards her, snarling until I stopped midway "How dare you try to take what is mine you traitor. You think I have done wrong, well you are just as guilty as me. You abandoned us, and you broke our promise. Why should you have the audacity to steal?" I accused.

  Zamanthia seemed a little taken aback, but hid her reaction. She finally replied "I left because I could not destroy things just out of revenge. I found that what I did was wrong, and when I could not get you to stop, I left."

"You still think we have done wrong, many have tried to stop us, but only one succeeded. What makes you think you can?"

Zamanthia smiled with confidence "Unlike you, I study my enemy not only on skill, but on how they react as well."

   I contemplated the answer, until I replied "Fine, let us test that theory."

  I ran toward her, and with my fist raised, brought it down where she stood. But she quickly jumped out of the way, lunged at me and kicked me. I stumbled back a little, but then tried to hit her with my tail. This time, she flipped over me, and kicked me harder in the back. I fell forward, and brought my fist to the side, catching her off guard. She was sent flying, until she stopped herself, getting back to her feet in an instant. She sped towards me, and quickly uppercut, catching my face. To admit it hurt was not the describable way to put it. It was painful. She prepared to attack again, a slight hesitation in the punch, giving me the opportunity to get her in the torso. She flew towards the edge, stopping herself from falling off, but once she recovered, she fell to her knees, her hand on the place where I punched, coughing harshly.

I slowly walked to her, preparing to finish the job, but stood in front of her for a moment. I wanted to punish her, to make her feel pain like I did, but one look at her pained expression, that look of suffering on her face erased all will to finish it. A cry of pain snapped me from my thoughts. Turning to the source, I saw Zal lying on the ground, barely moving. Before I knew what was happening, a felt a sharp, painful, ringing in my ears, growing with intensity by the very second. Everyone, including Zam began writhing in agony, screams of pain filling the air.

Through all the noise, I heard the ledge Zamanthia was on crack, breaking off from the ledge, letting her fall to her possible death. But no screams were heard, until an ugly, familiar face popped out from where she fell. Dr. Eggman floating on his eggmobile, the cacophonic shell in his hand. But my gaze shifted to the crystal like cage at the bottom, my eyes widening with shock. Zamanthia was unconscious, trapped in the diamond shaped crystal. Eggman cackled, sneering "We meet again Zavok. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I borrowed her."

I was still recovering from the sensation, and couldn't answer back. He laughed once again, pointing at me with a prideful expression "Remember when I said before, that I will destroy everything you love...well I intend to keep that promise, starting with her." He then flew away, with Zamanthia in tow. And I could do nothing about it.
