"This is stupid! So fucking stupid! No way. There's no fucking way!" Jason started pacing around the couch. The basement feels colder than before. Probably because I haven't moved in a bit. And how could I? Seeing what happened to them. Seeing what that man did to them. I didn't even know that I was crying until a tear fell onto my leg, making me use my palms to wipe my face clean before more came to replace them.
Jason was more pissed at what we were seeing. The game paused on our cousins' empty face as they were introduced as a monster to fight. To kill. To destroy. Emerging from an endless pit of sand as two claws protruded from their neck. It looked like they were suffocating, then again, the graphics didn't really help me with my imagination. When did they say the game came out? 2001?
"What did he do?! I can't do this. I can't! I fucking can't!"
"Jason! Just sit down, there's a whole timeline, remember? This could be a one time thing." I managed to not break as I spoke. My voice only cracked a bit as a small sniffle escaped, making him turn around. A small flicker of regret flashed on his face as he scanned me. He forgot I hated loud noises. He slowly made his way to sit back down on the couch, taking the controller from the coffee table. He unpaused the game and we had to watch their eyes lock onto the blue hedgehog, saying they'll exterminate him. "That's not Y/n."
"No shit, Alley." He began to platform upwards. Dodging the random attacks that Y/n threw or swung at the hedgehog. Some of the platforms disappeared, so he was forced to time his jumps. It just wasted time honestly, something Jace hated.
"No no, since when did they act so.. robotic? They don't speak like that."
"Alley, he clearly did something to them. He took them away." He was getting used to the controls of the game. Especially with Sonic. He seemed to be more at ease playing Sonic. So, it didn't take long to beat the boss, only three minutes and twenty five seconds according to the timer. But a cutscene played after, showing Sonic run up the wall and onto a claw holding my cousin up. Before jumping up and kicking them hard enough they got flung into the wall. Jason froze, I froze, we both became statues of ice.
"Did they say anything about how tall he was?"
"3 foot 3 inches."
"Jesus."
As the talking animals talked with each other. I saw Sonic glance at Y/n before carefully picking them up and taking them with him. "He's.."
"Taking them with him? After they attacked him?
"Maybe he knows something is wrong?""I highly doubt it, Al."
I watched the cutscenes go on, until Jason groaned at another Knuckles level. To take his mind off of things, I decided to chat with him. He despised the Knuckles levels so much. Each took ten minutes for him to beat. "Who's your favorite so far?"
"Probably Tails. He's a kid but the kid has a brain."
"You like his plane don't you?"
"Obviously! What do you mean it turns into a mech?? That's fucking awesome!" He cheered upon finding a shard and went on to find the next. Flying up in the level and getting hit by a water thing. "What about you, Al?"
"Well, we haven't seen or met all of them just yet but... I do like Amy. She's optimistic about everything so far! Plus she sounds really nice."
"The fangirl? Really? The one who mistook that edgy bitch as Sonic despite not looking anything like him?"
"Everyone has their flaws! And according to Y/n, she gets toned down in the future." He blew a raspberry. Finding everything else he needed before going onto a boss fight with Rouge.
