Snypo: Hello FF readers one and all. This is my first story…Hope I do alright

(Demon Ficcer steps in and pats Snypo upon his shoulder)

Demon: Don't worry man, things'll go fine, I'm sure

Snypo: Yeah I'm sure you're right

(Blaze, Rouge, and Sally step in)

Blaze: C'mon! I wanna read it already!

Sally: Seriously, I need to see how you've portrayed me in this work of fiction, it better be appropriate!

Rouge: meh, I already know how it goes…

(Blaze and Sally look to Rouge then back to Snypo, both with mouths agape in an angry glare)

Blaze & Sally: OH YOU DO, DO YOU?

Snypo: ehhh ehehehe….ehehe….

(Snypo sweat drops and runs off)

(Sally and Blaze chase after, fire in their eyes)

Demon: Looks like he's got his hands full…

Rouge: Yup… Alrighty I'll do the job for him then. Here's Chapter one

CHAPTER 1: Release

Light shone through his eyelids. Was it….could it be sunlight? No, too red. Not to mention the cold steel pressed against his back and the chains holding him to it. This light was artificial. Opening his eyes would confirm this as Rahv laid eyes upon his father. But this wasn't his father, this was the roboticized shell that resembled his father. "Come, worthless organic." The raspy metal voice of his father said as the metal hedgehog unclasped the steel chains holding Rahv to the wall and giving them a good tug, forcing Rahv to his feet. After a disgusted growl, the crimson furred hedgehog was led down the halls of the prison in the mechanized city of Robotropolis. Gazing about, Rahv saw the fearful faces of others who were being held, waiting with bated breath for their inevitable turn to be roboticized. After about 5 minutes of walking, and the addition of a few SWATbots, the prison escort stepped through a door, and out of the prison. Looking about, Rahv came to the conclusion that they were just outside the city and had just exited through a maintenance doorway. Rahv closed his amber hued eyes as a small breeze blew by, flowing through his fur and causing his leather trenchcoat to flutter lazily. Stepping forward, every thought was chased from Rahv's mind when he heard a sound that he hadn't heard in two years. Looking down to his boot-clad feet, past the large buckles down to the ground, he relished each step as it caused a nice, warm, earthy crunch from the dirt below. The elation he felt at this, however, was soon crushed as once again, they entered a small bunker just outside of the city. Looking up from his feet, Rahv's face was contorted into a glare as he laid eyes upon the man whom he detested the most, Dr. Ivo Robotnik. The "Good Doctor" had undergone some changes since their last meeting. Instead of his typical "Dictator" outfit consisting of a red, black, and yellow "eggtight" suit with large, pointed shoulders, metal armor on each limb, and a yellow cape with piercing red eyes, he had gone for a more "modern" look by sporting a red, white, and yellow jacket with black pants and shoes, white gloves with yellow cuffs, circular sunglasses and goggles upon his head. Aside from the clothing, the doctor had changed physically too, whether due to age or stress, he had become thinner and his mustache was long, frazzled, and wiry. "Rahv, it's been too long." The doctor said, spreading his arms out in a "welcoming" gesture. "Get to the point Robotnik, so I can head back to my damn cell." Rahv said, his glare still cold. Robotnik chuckled and lowered his arms, "always straight to the point, eh Rahv? Well, good for us, I will get right to it. You see-" The dictator said, beginning to pace in front of the hedgehog. "-In all my years of ruling this planet, I've never been able to find that cursed headquarters of those Damn Freedom Fighters. So, I've concocted a scheme to have one of their own, that being you, to find this hideaway and bring me it's location. In exchange, I'll give you your freedom."

"And what the Hell makes you think I'm a Freedom Fighter?" Rahv said, shaking his head with a roll of his amber eyes. "Oh, I know you're not, but that doesn't mean you can't join. You see, those foolish Freedom Fighters will pick up any organic being who can think for themselves. With that in mind, I'm putting a collar with a camera around your neck so that when you do find Knothole, I'll be able to hear and see every plan of action by those pathetic weaklings." Rahv's eyes widened at this and he snarled, "I'll never do it, the minute you turn me loose I'll warn them, or try to get the collar-" His last words were choked off as a tight metal object was clasped about his throat. Suddenly, there was a buzzing and Rahv dropped to the floor, writhing in pain as electricity shot through him. "Attempt any of that, and you'll get a good shock. Hell, I'll kill you if you piss me off enough. Oh, and to answer any doubts that the Fighters will see the collar, there's a built in camouflage for when it's on you." Rahv nodded his understanding and the electricity switched off, taking a deep breath, he felt the cuffs around his wrists come free as they weren't needed anymore.

"Now then, I'm going to open the door, you run, and keep running until you can't run anymore, or you'll get buzzed.." Robotnik said with an evil chuckle as his gloved hand grasped the remote that controlled the electric nodes pressed against Rahv's neck. "SWATbot number eight-three-seven-five-four, open the door and let our guest out." The SWATbot to the right of Rahv saluted and grabbed him by one of his quills, opening the door to the bunker and tossing him out. Rahv landed on his rump and felt the collar hum, he immediately leapt off and sprinted as fast as he thought possible, heading off toward the woods and not noticing that the sun was shining on him, warm and living, a feeling he hadn't felt in years.

Rouge: Welp, there's the first chapter..

Demon: Started out kinda sad, didn't Snypo say this was gonna be a bit of a comedy?

(Snypo comes limping in, bruised and beaten)

Snypo: buuuughhh…. It's gonna get funny… don't worry…

Demon: Where's Blaze and Sally?

Snypo: Their off doing…whatever it is they said they were gonna do before I passed out..

Rouge: Typical girls…

Demon: Ah well, let's wrap this up man

Snypo: OK! I own none of this, (except Rahv, he's my OC).

Rouge: Thanks for reading, reviews are much appreciated

Demon: And I'm Demon!

(Snypo and Rouge look over to Demon, then to eachother, and laugh.)
