Captured

Song of a hero

The words started to sink into my mind, wanting to make me sing. I didn't want to sing I didn't feel like it, nothing was right now, everything felt broken but the song twisted

and twisted In my head.

So I took a breath and let it out

"There are things that may lurk in the night.

Things that give world fright.

Yet there is also something pure.

A light to show the way.

A Hero with the heart of light.

A solider brave and true.

Yet even then he would need someone.

someone to lead him through"

——somewhere else.

Orbot passed some camera screens with some equipment to finish the empire in his arms,cubot following. the round robot stopped,tilting his head, and listening intensly.

Cubot bumped into him, making his stuff fall on the floor loudly. "Hey!" He hissed "what are yo-?!"

"Shh-listen!" Orbot hissed back,going quote.

still for a few seconds.soft notes drifted. through his head circuits that acted as ears, and then turned his head to the screen that. showed sonics cell. The words came out next he listened:

"To the boldest,to the bravest there comes the good,

To the coldest, to the menacing here comes fear.

With a sorrow, with a pain,a pawn of game.

Yet stolen the heart of a heroes cries.

For a help he thought he wouldn't need.

With the pain,comes the lies.

And the lies, have a fire that feeds.

Yet his song,sill sings,of light.

For the day when things become.

Something more than misery.

This may be only the beginning.

But there's still so much mystery.

So,listen...listen for his song...

Listen, for when his bells are rung.

For his heart,it's a heart of light.

Listen through your fear....

To a hero...a hero with a song.."

The two robots floated there,as if caught in a spell while listened.the voice wasn't like the angels, but it had power.Power, and bought it with a sound sadness deeper than any river, both the robots mouth were dropped in awe. And the resources were now lay on the ground below then.

"..did....you...know he could sing....?" Cubot asked in a slight whisper,as if afraid to disturb the silence.

Orbot could only twitch his head in response..No,I did not.

There was another akward silence.

"w....what are you two doing you metal scraps of heat?" An angry voice from behind said.

Both robots turned their heads and looked at the angry Eggman.

"Er....nothing sir!" Orbot replied

Eggman stared "get back to work" he said as he watched the robots leave.

—-Sonic——

The last notes that left my mouth echoed in, I sighed and sat there staring at the ground wrecked.

I didn't know what to do I was lost, everything was gone I saw it right in front of my eyes behind a window ofcourse. I even lost my happiness and I reminded of my self as the next shadow the hedgehog.

I remembered my self being happy, positive, cocky,full of energy, and those terrible jokes of mine and always having faith in stopping any kind of situation...

Now when I look at my self I think of a lonely beat up teenage fast boi that once was a hero and failed to save. I changed a lot while being locked up. I also have a lot of stress , anger and sadness inside me... my hope is lost and everything with it.

I was raging again, I wanted revenge, I wanted to kill Eggman and his crew once and for all...I got really angry, but then a bright light flashed infront of me...I saw someone...someone that I haven't seen in 20 years.

Tikal stood in front of me with a smile and sadness of sorrow in her eyes. I stared at her as if she was some sort of a god that I never knew.

"....Tikal,..." I whispered as my heart leaped once again.

She looked at me with a sorry face and wept a tear from her face.

"...sonic" she said gently

Before she could say anything i opened my mouth "I'm really sorry....I failed....I failed again, I failed to save the world, it's my fault......it's really my fault, my friend,the people and my home is lost forever, none of this would happen if I wasn't captured, and if I was there to help them" I said in a low sad croaky voice.

She walked up to me with a big smile and sat on the bench next to me as if it wasn't discomforting for her, he grabbed my hands into hers. I looked at her she had tears in her eyes, I then looked at the ground.

"Look at yourself....what did they do to you...." she Finnaly spoke with a trembling and caring voice.

I still looked at the floor. "Is it really that bad?" I muttered.

"Yes....your quills are all shaggy ,sticking out and messed up. You have bruises, scratches and cuts every where, your eyes a droppy and you look dehydrated...." she said with a shaking voice.

"Have you even slept?" She asks

I still looked down on the floor "...no...I keep on having thoose nightmares everyday and I keep hallucinating, and I've Been in so much pain that I couldn't even fall asleep...." I said quietly

She looked at me really sad and worried but still with a smile on her face, the only thing that made me warm up a bit, she reminded me of my friends, they're warmth and everything she acted like a mother to me now.

"Don't be sorry sonic...it's not your fault" she says with a smile that comforted me a bit.

"No tikal....you don't understand... I failed and messed up...." I said once again but more strongly with a bit less sadness with a quiet voice.
