An Ebony blur darted from pillar to pillar in King Sonic's castle. Every silent step bringing him one step closer to what he desired most – his beloved chaos emerald. Sonic had taken it from him some time ago, when he had dropped it while stealing jewels from an ivory bat what had too many to notice any go missing. It was hard for the dark furred male to hind in the blindingly white castle, the shadows his only sanctuary.
After only a few minutes he had reached his destination – the treasury. With a sly smirk painted on his tan muzzle, he slowing turned the handle to the surprisingly plain room and slipped inside unnoticed. After shutting the door with little more than a small 'tap' of wood against brick he turned and found his goal. The emerald shone just as he remembered it had, the little light in the poorly lit room reflecting from it and being projected all around him in all it's red glory. The red glow brought a genuine smile to the hedgehog's face, both relief and slight joy toying with his features. "Got ya..." He breathed as he skulked slowly towards his prize – inching closer every second.
As the male's crimson striped hand clamped around the red gem, he heard the swing of the wooden door behind him and turned to see two of Sonic's guards in the doorway. "Hey! You shouldn't be here!" The yelled in unison, both raising their stun guns and shooting him in the back. He had blacked out within seconds.
The hedgehog came to about five minutes later as he was being dragged towards the under ground jail complex underneath the castle in a pair of handcuffs. He didn't have enough energy left to lift his head, so he was stuck staring at white brick until he could muster the energy he needed to lift his heavy head.
Several attempts later and he could finally see where he was being dragged from. He still had no idea where he was going, but at least he knew where he'd been. Just as the dark furred male had thought of an escape plan, he noticed another hedgehog being dragged in the other direction. He assumed that they had done something similar to what he had, except they were being dragged to either freedom or the executioner. He noticed that she had no handcuff around her pink wrists, she was just too weak to do anything about the grip the guard had on her wrists. The pink female was unconscious, just as he had been only a few minutes before. "Keh... idiot." The male sneered at the pink girl.
The ebony male had figured out where he was going the hard way. He had been dragged down stair, then across cold floor and finally, literally thrown into a cell. As soon as the hedgehogs rear had hit the ground he was back up and running at the metal bars. Luckily for the guards, they had managed to lock the door in place before he had got there. "As soon as you unlock this door I swear I'll-"
"Can it hot shot. Some of the threats we get off younger people than you make us more scared." The first guard laughed.
"Yeah, in fact, that stupid pink hedgehog that Sonic wants to marry scares us more than you. Hehehehehe- OUCH!" The second guard had been slapped around the back of the head by the first just before the first mumbled something about not talking to prisoners and then both walked away.
He sat brooding over the comment that the second guard had made. "Pink hedgehog... that Sonic wants to marry..." He mumbled over and over, trying to think of anyone he had seen in the castle that matched that description. "That's it!" He stood up, his crimson eyes shining with malice and a malevolent smirk on his features. "That pink hedgehog... she's my next target... I'll steal her from Sonic!"
