My Sonic Underground [Moved To AO3]

Chapter 9~Ambrosia's Past Pt. 2

~Unknown PoV~

{Flashback Starts}
   I burst into the prison rooms, blasting the robots I encounter. Soon, the medallion in my pocket pulses as I approach the final door. As I'm about to barge in, my instincts tell me to hide the vents.

   Moments after I pull myself in, Dr. Robotnik leaves the room. Once I'm positive that the coast is clear, I drop down and enter the room.

   What I find is nauseating. Scarlet blood stains the floor. A tank filled with water and wires is on a counter, and many instruments lie scattered on trays.

   Shredded, cut, blunted or bloodied golden quills cover the floor. But what turns my compassionate heart to ice, is the condition my mission's goal is in.

   Chained to a table, covered in old and fresh scars as well as multiple, still bleeding, cuts and gashes, is a small, unconscious 5-year old hedgehog. Her quills are all but non-existent, her claws blunted, and in desperate need of good food, clean water, and. a TON of TLC.

   ::"This is Rescue Bird; Baby Bird found. I repeat; Baby Bird found. Over." I report to the others, grimly. I break her bindings and scoop her delicate frame into my paws. "On my way to rendezvous. Over and out."::

   Ten months in our care and little Ambrosia's a lot better. Her quills have grown back better than ever, hiding the few scars that our treatments couldn't heal. Her personality is a little muted still, but at least her night terrors have become much less frequent.

   "Ambrosia, can you come over here?" I call out, watching the golden blur zip around the underground track in one of the resistance's larger caverns(I believe that the main HQ was in an underground cavern system since we never saw the main HQ, only outposts). As she slows to a jog to come over, I only hope she won't get too upset.

   "Yes, Mr. Leo?(I can't remember if they mention Cyrus' father's name so I taken the liberty of naming him myself)" She chirps at me, eyes sparkling. I sigh, then tell her the news.

   "We found out where you were supposed to go before you were kidnapped." I tell her carefully. "A very nice falcon couple."

   "But; Imma hedgehog. Not a bird." She tells me, confusion written all over her face.

   "I know that. But, your birth mom was forced to give you up. She was being chased by those evil robots." I explain. "Your momma was friends with them. They offered to raise you as their own if it ever came to that and were very distraught when you didn't show up."

   "Oh. OK then! Let's go meet them!" She exclaims, using her telekinesis to lift herself into my chocolate brown mane. I laugh at her antics.

   "OK; fearless adventurer! You have your medallion?" I question, heading for the door.

   "Yep. Will you and Cyrus come visit us?" She begs me.

   "Probably not, Ambrosia. We're always on missions and at other outposts." I tell her. "But I promise you this. We'll never forget you."

   "So, Amber, what color do you want?" Mrs. Longclaw asks me(comment if you get the reference).

   "Sea Foam Green!" I say, bouncing up and down. We had realized that my color was way to obvious, so we were dying my quills. I already had amber-colored contacts in, hiding my true eye colors.
