»» You swallowed down nervously. There they are. The criminals Shard talked about.

You silently breath out and slowly look up from your hiding place to see what they are up to.

Your eyes widened when you saw their commander holding up a red chaos emerald.

Oh, no. This looks nasty and you know it's not your place to interfere but… for once in your life you wanted to help out instead of standing in the side while your friends risked their lives to save the world. Just once you refuse to sit this one out. Just this once... Even though this is confidential and only Ace's team will know about it…

You sighed annoyed, this is going to explode very badly in your face...

No one knows that you followed Ace's team halfway through and sneaked in the criminal's hideout, oddly without anyone noticing. You would smile proudly for your stealth if you weren't so anxious right now. What if you mess up and no one comes to your rescue? Why do you need rescuing? You are fine on your own! But what if the criminals already know that you are here and playing dumb to catch you red handed? What would Shard think? Who cares if anyone thinks if you die at the end AHG You never should have followed them. There is no turning back anymore. You come all this way and you’re not leaving until you come to finals.

You quickly shook your head to get away from thinking too much. You need to focus on the mission, the emerald. If you get it without them noticing, then Shard's job would be much easier!

You smiled, determined. Alright you got this!

You were smart enough to not bring any items with you this time, you can't attract any attention as it happened with Shard. He afterwards complimented you about your hiding skills. It's a big thing for you of course.

"𝐼𝑓 𝐼 𝘩𝑎𝑑𝑛'𝑡 𝘩𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑘𝑒𝑦𝑠, 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝘩𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝘩𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑠. 𝑌𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢."

If he hadn't pointed it out for you, you probably would never notice your stealth skills. You really don't deserve him. Now it's your turn to be there for him.

You slowly crawl out of your hiding spot when you see them distracted, firmly holding on the iron bars in front of you. You quickly but quietly walk down from the stairs next to you and neatly hide behind a few barrels without anyone noticing your presence.

The Chaos Emerald is on your view standing in a bell glass, unprotected. You grinned widely. You are so close to your victory, you could just reach out and snatch it without them noticing and go back home without any fuss! If the victory was anything to taste… it would be delicious.

With a loud rumble the ground shook when you were ready to pick it up. With a yelp you lost your balance, falling down on your back while dropping down a barrel in your moment of panic. You gulped nervously when everyone turned towards your direction.

"Quick! Protect the Emerald and get that girl!!" The commander shouted angrily.

Before they can all jump on you the wall near them blows up sending them all away with its force and the room filled with a massive dust cloud.

In all the fuss with the adrenalin rush you quickly snatch the red emerald and make a run towards the stairs, coughing roughly because of the dust. You hissed when you felt your feet crash on something. You stumbled but managed to regain your balance and continued running.

It was certain that you would have a bruise on your foot tomorrow. Yet you still kept running, squinting your eyes shielding them to at least see a little bit. You quickly slammed a black door with your shoulder. You sighed in relief, there isn't much dust here.

"Hey, get back here you little—!" The commander shot behind you and started running after you.

You shrink in fear and start to run up the stairs. Your foot slips but you quickly gather yourself together and continue rapidly towards your only exit, the rooftop. You didn't even ask 'How the hell are you gonna escape after that?'

You quickly shove the door with your shoulder and slip outside. There goes your shoulder ouch. You are sure you gonna have a lot of bruises, soreness and aching when you wake up tomorrow. You need a nice warm bath.

You swallow and try to calm your breathing. You were really exhausted, for running so fast from the basement to the rooftop in such a short time from a fire escape! You are lucky to not be in a skyscraper.

You continue to gasp for breaths while leaning on your knees for sport.

Before you can even recover and think what to do the door slammed open.

You yelped and looked behind while pressing the emerald protectively against your chest.

The two of you stay still breathless, eyes connect with irritation. He looked more angry than tired though.

Is everyone in this universe more athletic than you? Why must you hate me, world?! I didn't do anything wrong!! Okay maybe sneaking in the criminals base and not listening to your boyfriend is something but still!! You don’t need to die for this! You wouldn't die like that right?

He quickly jumps towards you with an angry yell. You dodge his harsh arms with a gasp.

You squeal when you nearly lose your balance. With rapid hand movement you get your balance back and quickly step away from the edge to avoid falling down to your death.

You glance down fearfully. You are pretty far away from the safe now frightened safe ground, standing on top of a building.

You swallow hard and step aside. You yelled when you were forcefully taken away from the ground.

"Lemme go!!" you cry fearfully trying to break free from his tight hold. You involuntarily dropped the emerald on the ground when he picked you up.

He harshly tossed you aside like you weigh nothing, making you forcefully land on your side. Crying out in pain you gripped your side.

As he made a run for the emerald, you hissed and quickly got on your feet, even though you were still in pain. You can't let him go with the emerald that easily.

You growled and jumped on his back.

Not expecting it, he lost his balance and landed painfully on his face. You quickly stand up to get the emerald. Before you can take another step he tripped you making you fall on your side again. You winced, hissing in pain.

Groaning, you get up on your knees. Glaring at him, you flinched when you saw a knife in his hand. He must pull it out from his belt while you were distracted.

He slowly starts to walk towards you. You crawl back a little bit with every step, whimpering in fear.

When you come to the edge, you stop, don't have anywhere else to move. You are cornered. Your back pressed firmly against the railing.

You quickly look back at the commander, breath quickened in fright. You gasp when he quickly pulls the knife ready to stab you.

You quickly hold his arms to halt his tracks to stab your chest. He gives all his strength and weight on you.

You grimace your face and groan, he is too heavy for you to hold back, having trouble stopping him from reaching you, so before he can stab you to death you quickly and as harshly as possible hit his groin with your knee.

He yelped in pain and dropped down on his side. You quickly get up, pushing him further away and sprint for the emerald.

You pick it up and run towards the other end where the door was located. You find the time to take a few quick deep breaths before he gets up with an angry growl. You gulped down nervously and glanced at the door.

Before you can open the door and make a run for it, he grips your hair and yanks it. You shriek in pain. He pulls your hair down and you drop down on your knees with a cry. You firmly hold on to his hands hoping it will help the pain decrease. Dropping the red emerald in the process.

He quickly pressed the knife on your neck furiously.

"You little— You are going to pay for what you did!" You closed your eyes tightly, whimpering under the cold sharp surface of the blade, ready to face your end.

"You should not engage in behaviors that you do not want to suffer the consequences of. This is my last warning to you." Five steel digits softly picked up the Red Chaos Emerald laying on the ground, scarlet eyes shone with a glare, never leaving his figure.

The commander cursed under his breath, now he has to deal with two things at once. Not like he is not used to this.

He growled at the new face, "Give me the emerald or I—" You would be overjoyed for his arrival if he wasn't threateningly pressing the knife on your neck harshly. You were sure there will be some scars tomorrow.

"Or you what?" Shard slowly interrupted, oddly too calm about this, his cannon interrupting his composure menacingly, ready to blast his face with any wrong movement.

He gritted his teeth, then huffed giving in somewhat easily, "Look, all I want is that Emerald. Give it to me and in exchange I'll drop the girl without any trouble. You won’t ever see me again. How's that sound?" His words had a threatening tone, voice uneasy. Pointing the knife deeper on your throat.

Shard's red optics narrowed.

If you could, you would swallow down nervously. You are only able to breathe in and out from your nose afraid of getting more injuries on your neck. You could swore your brain isn't getting enough blood.

He pressed the blade further down your throat to make his point clear. You could feel your rapid heartbeat under the cold knife.

For a while it got so quiet you thought you were deaf. Your ears rang for a second. You would have even thought they could hear your heartbeat if you didn't know better.

After a very tense and restless moment Shard's eyes softened and he huffed giving in with a growl that showed his furry, "Fine. You can have it. Let her go."

Commander smirked, "Of course."

Shard's glare harshened. He throws the emerald towards him and he catches it without any trouble. Letting you go and dropping down the knife in the process. He was staring at the emerald like it was his everything. Such filthy greedy gaze.

Before you can even get a grip on yourself, the commander violently pushes you back causing you to trip and fall down from the rooftop with a scream.

Shard panics and quickly jumps down behind you while the commander smirks and makes a run for it while he has the perfect time.

It was like a slow motion scene in the movies. Tears flowing out from your eyes. You try to reach out towards Shard, scared. Your hair flowing in with the harsh wind.

The only place you wanted to be in his warm embrace at that second.

But the surface comes faster to embrace your body instead. Shard was far behind to catch up. A harsh reality crashing down at you.

You won't be able to get out alive with this.

You pressed your lips in sorrow, accepting your fate and closing your eyes tightly, fearfully awaiting for your body to crash with the hard surface.

Shard quickened his movements. He couldn't- He can't lose you. He refused defeat. He will NOT LOSE YOU. He is SHARD FOR GOD SAKE HE GOT TO BE FAST.

With a cry he sprinted down, using all the power he had. With a sharp turn just inchest before the ground, he landed harshly on a tree. His screen glitching as he quickly looked down. He could feel his circuits burning from the application of excessive force of used energy. He was sure that he wouldn't be able to use his crystal for a while. It needed some charging. Doesn’t matter…

He sighed when he saw your tight embrace. His back pressing on the tree he just crashed, his back completely trashed, his sensors warning him crazily. He dismissed all of it, only leaning on your warm embrace. He sighs in relief even though he can't breathe like his lover does. He indeed was in relife. It was a close call. He finally let himself relax a little, his crystal already turned green in sync with his eyes.

You tightened your hold on his neck, fearful if you let him go he will disappear from your embrace.

You whispered, trembling with all that happened in half an hour, "I thought I could do it." Now nervous, hoping he wasn't so pissed at you.

He looked down, "What are you talking about?"

You pushed yourself back a little with your hands on his chest, freeing yourself a little from his fearful grip around your waist and looking up to his green optics in pain, feeling how warm his chest is, "The Chaos Emerald! It was in my grasp but I lost it because of my stupid recklessness. And nearly dying in the process. If you are angry at me I understand." You huffed, upset.

Shard didn't care about that slightless pit, except you being nearly dying and getting hurt, "I don't care about that. Just promise me you will never do those kinds of things before telling me— Hey, You are hurt." he gently put a digit on your neck. His voice changed slightly in the end. Soft but some hiding grudge behind it.

You winced in pain with the contact.

Shard's optics quickly turned red,despite his crystal inactive, gritting his teeth, "That guy— He's gonna take a one ticket to hell for hurting you." he growled out.

You put your hands on his steel cheeks, "Hey, don't go violent now. I'm fine. It's just a little scratch." You spoke warmly however your voice didn't show that warmth. It was uneasy. You were still shaking up all of that.

Your fingers hover over your injury. You look at your hand to see some blood. You try to hide your concern from him.

You were lucky to get through the day with just one scratch and a few bruises.

Shard was relieved to see you weren't severely injured, but he will make sure to find that guy and give him a taste of his own medicine.

He gently holds your hand, "Promise me." He argued, eyes locked with yours.

You sighed and nodded, "I promise."

He smiled and kissed your knuckles, your cheek and near your injury.

You blushed, "Sorry. It was such a bummer."

He gently caresses your hair. You lean on his touch in bliss. After being pulled aggressively, this felt heaven to your hair.

He whispers in your ear while you lean on his chest again, "I know. Maybe I can teach you a few things. Only self-defense, of course, don't get excited. I don't want you to follow us around and make a fuss again." You smile as you listen to his deep chuckles.

You glanced up at him worriedly, "What we gonna do about the—" he shushed you.

"That's not your concern, dear. Rest now."

You sighed annoyed but didn't argue further.

With your head gently resting on his chest, you slowly release yourself into the slumber that exhaustion brings up for you, adrenalin no longer present instead Shard’s comforting embrace nearby. Listening to the sound of his propellers softly humming while he gently continues to caress your head, urging you to sleep.

Everything fell into silence. A comforting calmness wraps you in.
