I looked over and saw Tails, Amy, Sally, and Knuckles strapped to the wall with chains that I also had on my own hands. I then looked up at our attackers. I couldn't see their faces. They had on black masks and black clothing. I couldn't even tell what animals they were, or if they were robots. The only thing I could see was one had wings and the other one had hair that looked like a big leaf on his head.

The one in the center called out to me, "Sonic, you will work for us or your friends will suffer."

"Never! I won't work for someone who would ever think of hurting my friends," I exclaimed.

"That's unfortunate, Oh well, take care of Knuckles first," he called as he walked out of the room.

The two that were next to him came up to Knuckles, took him down, and strapped his hands to the chains on the floor. They walked out of the room, soon another person dressed in black came in with a whip. They started to whip Knuckles. You could hear his cry of pain from a mile away, it was so loud. I fought the darkness brewing inside me. The cage was unlocking and I was trying to keep the door closed.

"I can't lose control, can't give them what they want," I muttered to myself over and over again.

When they finished torturing Knuckles, he was bleeding from everywhere but still alive. The whipper left the room. Then the person in black with the wings and the person with the leaf came back in and put knuckles back up on the wall. Then the main person, dark, came in.
"Sonic, will you join us or will Sally have to play as well?" He asked.

The anger was building. I felt myself slipping. The other me was gaining control.

"Never! " I barely managed to get out the one word. I was still struggling with the cage door.

"Be that way, Sally next." Dark left the room. Leaf and Wings came picked up Sally and dragged her to the chains on the ground. Sally was fighting the whole time screaming "NO, LET ME GO!" but they were stronger than her and she was in chains before you knew it. Then the two left and Whipper came in.

Whipper seemed to whip Sally harder than Knuckles. Sally made a piercing scream. That echoed all around.

Sally lost only a few drops of blood before Tails cried."Sally!" He looked at me with fearful eyes. I lost my grip, the beast came out of the cage. I was fighting the dark side to keep from getting pushed into the cage.

Amy screamed. Tails and Knuckles Gasped. Sally just stared at me with fear.

Whipper stopped whipping. She ran and pushed a button on the wall. Suddenly I was trapped not only were the chains on my hands but were on my feet too. I looked up and saw I was in a cage. I had to get out. I couldn't let them use me.

Dark came in. "Couldn't resist the dark side, huh?"

"You...Won't...Use...Me..." I was gasping for control again. I was evenly matched with my dark side.

"Not ready yet, hmm" Dark walked to Whipper, "Continue."

"With pleasure" I saw her eyes gleam.

"You...Won't...Touch...Her" I lost whatever grip I had and I was knocked unconscious and thrown into the cage. I had fully turned dark.
