Who knew: chapter 1

Sonic's POV

I felt the heat of the fire nearly burn my back as another missile exploded not to far behind me. I cringed as i felt some of the hairs of my fur burn away and i quickly moved into a safer distance, but i soon discovered that it was a bad decision as another missile exploded right in front of my face. I flew back into a metal wall and slided to the floor. I had hit my head hard against that wall and had to blink quite a few times before i could see properly again and before i could orientate properly again. But as soon as that happened a robotic arm came rushing at me.

My eyes widened in shock and fear. I jumped to my feet and felt the metal from the arm collide with my body and i was thrown to the other side of the huge hangar. The distance that Eggman had put between us gave me time to get to my feet and avoid the fast approaching missiles.

I ran behind the robot and made a U-turn so i faced the back of the robot. Eggman noticed where i had gone to and turned the robot. He was unable to react in time as i curled myself up and spindashed through the glass window of the robot's cockpit. I felt the glass cut my skin and skidded to a halt behind Eggmans chair. He had covered his face with his arms to prevent any sharp shards hurt him in his face. He looked over his shoulder at me before fully turning and facing me.

"Sonic! how dare you infiltrate my robot's cockpit like this! don't you have any manners?" Eggman said with a snarl as he stood up from his seat. "it's over eggman!" I yelled and panted from the effort i needed to give to fight this robot. I can't remember when i wasn't having a hard time with Eggman's robots. They became harder and harder with every new attempt of world domination. These last months i needed to give it all i got in order to defeat just one robot.

Eggman smirked as he noticed my exhaustion. "getting tired are we?" He asked with a taunting tone. "no way! i'm not even close to the end of my strenght!" I said with a grin and tried to stand up straight, but i was so exhausted that i had a hard time doing so. It didn't take a while before i was hunched over and trying to regain some energy again. "you foolish hedgehog! you can barely stand up right!" Eggman said. "you're at the end of your rope." He said and with a malicious smirk pushed a button behind his back without me noticing.

Out of nowhere a robotic arm came crashing through the side of the cockpit and nearly avoided Eggman as it headed for me. I felt it's metallic vice like grip as his claw like appendages wrapped around my drained body. The robot pulled back out of the cockpit and threw me against the cold metal wall at speed that only i could reach without problem. I felt something crack in my body. I didn't know if it was my arm or leg. Or if it was my neck or skull that i felt give in. All i know is that i felt a blaring pain rush through my nerves.

I fell the ground and couldn't move. My teeth gritted from the pain. I tried to stand up as i heard the heavy footsteps from the robot, but i couldn't. Instead i fell back down flat on the floor. I grunted in pain. I looked down at my legs and instantly knew what the problem was. My right leg was broken. This wasn't good. I was having a hard time as it is, with my leg the way it was now i would be having an even harder time defeating this thing.

The robot was close again. I groaned as i pushed myself up again. I wanted to get away before the robot could hurt me, but i was to slow. I never thought that i would admit it, but i couldn't deny it now. I wasn't even sure if i would be able to fight my way out of this predicament.
