Sonic woke up slowly. He shook his foggy head. It throbbed so much he didn't want to open his eyes lest it be worst.
The first thing he noticed was that it was cold and damp. His limbs were incased in some kind of metal. Sonic started to thrash about. He tried to kick, but his legs were bent at the knees.
He only stopped when he heard splashing.
He opened his eyes with a start.
Sonic found himself in the middle of a great pool of water. He looked down at his bonds. He was stuck in what looked like solid steel, suspended high above the water.
Sonic looked at the waves his efforts had created, and gulped. 'What if that little pole holding me up breaks?!' he thought, picturing himself sinking, helplessly held down by the steel he was wielded in.
Sonic heard the sound of a machine behind him. A door opening and closing, then something moving toward him. Sonic felt a slight jolt, then felt himself turning.
Sonic saw the silhouette of someone across the water, right in front of a bridge that appeared.
"Looks like you finally caught me, Egghead!" Sonic smirked. He couldn't see who his visitor was, but he could guess. He closed his eyes.
When he opened them, Sonic gasped. "You're-" He went wide-eyed. "You're-"
Knuckles and Tails ran down the hallways of Eggman's latest fortress. They rounded a corner and went through some sliding doors. There was Eggman, his fingers shaking over the button of his robo-legs that would send missiles at his target. And that target seemed to be…
"Amy!" Called out Tails and Knuckles at the same time. Amy was tied down to a stake in the floor by the far wall.
Dr. Eggman turned to face them. He looked nervous. "N-No! I-It's not what you think!" He stuttered, and looked like he wanted to wave his hands in the air, but couldn't seem to take them away from his controls.
"Knuckles! Tails! Eggman, he- he-" Amy sniffed, trying to say something through a stream of tears. "EGGMAN KILLED SONIC!!" She finally screamed.
"Lier!" Eggman screeched at her. She ignored him.
"Eggman used Chaos Controle & send Sonic to his death!! He's gone! And it's Eggman's fault!!" Amy sobbed.
"SHUT UP!!" Eggman screeched. His hands shook even harder. "You treacherous little witch, how dare you set me up like this! I'll get you for this!!" Eggman looked like he tried to move his robo-legs, but it seemed something was wrong.
Tails ran to free Amy, and Knuckles used him for a punching bag. Grunts of effort and pain echoed through the room. Finally, Eggman's robo-legs broke, and Eggman went flying into the wall. He still had the controls his hands had been shaking over in his grip.
By that time Amy was free. She snatched her hammer and stalked up to Eggman. Amy muttered something to him, though Knuckles and Tails couldn't hear.
Eggman howled in reply. "You won't get away with this! You won't, you won't, you WON'T!" He howled, anger and disbelief in his shaking voice. "My perfect plan, ruined by a wench! You'll PAY!"
Amy gave him such a wack Eggman was out cold. Amy turned. "Take this wicked man to the authorities, and have him locked up… I want nothing more to do with this murderer!" She stalked out.
