Destiny

Chapter 15 : Path

Near the Master Emerald altar

It seemed Tails and the others was awake. They seemed to be waiting for something. Waiting for the particular blue hedgehog and black hedgehog and the brothers.

“They’re late.” Tails said as he tapped his toe lightly.

“Give them some time, child. They need time for each other.”  Aleena assured.

Without everyone knowing, Tails’ brows furrowed; ‘Then, where I would be in your heart, Sonic? Did you already forgot about me..?’ The two tailed fox thought as he quickly shook it off.

“Okay, then. I’ll wait” he answered with ears flattened in disappointment.

Out of the blue, a mysterious yet familiar voice joined in the conversation.

“Who said you have to wait, bro?” the voice sounded full of cockiness and confidence. It’s ‘his’ voice!

The blue hero grinned as he gave Tails a big thumbs up.

“Hey, Tails. How are you feeling?” he winked at him.

The kitsune’s ears straight upon hearing the blue hero’s voice. He smiled and said, “I’m feeling good. Thanks for asking.” he replied with a big thumbs up.

“Good to hear.” he looked around, seemingly to find somebody but nowhere to be found.

“Huh, looks like I made it here first.” he chuckled lightly. “Guess he is a 50 years old grandpa.” he said playfully to a fact the one he appointed to 50 years older than him.

Out of the blue, another voice joined in a rather irritated tone. “In your dreams, hedgehog.”

Sonic searched for the source of the voice. His grinned vanished as he walked out from behind the altar, eyes closed and arms crossed against his chest.

“Fastest thing alive huh? Then why you don’t beat this grandpa?” he said sarcastically but full of irritation.

“You cheated that’s why.” the blue hero huffed in irritation with his arm crossed.

Shadow chuckled lightly as he walked to Sonic and stopped when he was right in front of him. “With what, Sonic?”

Unknown to Shadow, Sonic saw something shiny in his quills. It sticked out like a sore thumb. His mind clicked with the answer. ‘It’s a chaos emerald! I should have known.’

“With a chaos emerald, faker. Obviously.”

“You’re very observant, hedgehog.” he said in a rather compliment tone. Which is a signal for Sonic to make a joke about it.

“Is that a compliment?” he received a hmph as the answer though he knew he mean it. “Just because I acted carefreely and recklessly, doesn’t mean I am stupid.” the cobalt hero explained.

He nudged him gently. “Relax, Grandpa.” He looked at the kitsune and asked, “So, what’s the plan, bro?”

Everyone stopped looking at the hedgehogs and now looking at the kitsune and hedgehog. The two tailed fox answered, “We have to wait for your father and his brother. Plan for today is a secret.” he put his index finger on his mouth.

The cobalt hero blinked and smirked in defeat. “Okay, then. Surprise me. I dare you.”

Tails chuckled lightly. “You’ll see.” Everyone else grinned mysteriously to Sonic at least.

He looked surprised but decided to shook it to not spoil the surprise. But whatever it was, it included everyone except for the blue hero.

Unconsciously, Sonic’s mouth was wide open, about to ask something but quickly closed. A twin gust of winds passed them, revealing two figure. One is black as the night itself and two is Grey neither white nor black resembled a perfect balance.
