Chapter 2: Experiments

Tails and Shadow appeared in front of Eggman's base. Shadow turned to look at Tails and spoke.

"Tails, I want you to be quiet; I'll distract Eggman and his robots while you sneak in and get Sonic out of there."

Tails nodded and followed him. They made their way into the base, Shadow destroying every robot they came across.


Meanwhile at Eggman's base, the doctor had Sonic strapped to a table so that he couldn't escape and pulled out a syringe from a drawer, filling it with some sort of liquid. Sonic saw that and gulped.

Do you know what I plan to do with you, Sonic?" Eggman asked.

"Heh...How should I know Eggman? What I do know is that it won't work! Just like all your other plans!" Sonic hoped that Eggman didn't see through his bluff. Sonic had gone slightly pale, but not enough to be noticed.

Eggman just chuckled darkly as he approached the table. He stuck the needle into Sonic's arm and injected the serum. Sonic yelled in shock as he looked at Eggman in horror, wondering what he had done.

Sonic squeezed his eyes shut waiting for the pain he knew was coming...only it never did. He opened his eyes to see Eggman's dismayed face. "Looks like I was right again Eggman! Another plan down the drain!"

Suddenly, Sonic felt extremely weak and fell unconscious. Eggman growled; he thought that the serum had worked! He turned his back to Sonic and started his back-up plan.

Minutes later, Sonic slowly regained consciousness. Looking around, he saw Eggman had his back turned to him and was fiddling with a large machine. His body was aching all over as he tried once again to move.

Suddenly, Eggman let out a loud chuckle as a swirling portal opened at the far end of the room. He looked at Sonic and saw that his serum wasn't working. He frowned and walked over to Sonic, unshackling his arms and legs. He grabbed hold of Sonic's hand and dragged him towards the portal. Soon, the portal started sucking Sonic in. Just then, Tails and Shadow ran inside. Their eyes widened as they saw what was happening.

Sonic looked up weakly as he heard Tails and Shadow run in. Tails...Shadow...what are they doing here? He thought.

"Eggman! Let him go now or you'll regret it!" Shadow yelled. Tails cried out as well as he saw Sonic begin to disappear.

Eggman started and turned around, still holding Sonic's hand; he hadn't even heard Shadow and Tails come in. Suddenly, he remembered the needle in his hand...it still had some serum in it. He smiled to himself as he replied to Shadow's threat. Eggman took the serum and plunged it into Shadow's arm. The Ultimate Lifeform screamed in pain and took the needle out. He saw that it was empty and suddenly flopped to the floor in pain. He saw the portal activate again and sucked them in.

Tails gasped. "What have you done to them?"

"They've just been transported through time by my glorious invention! Who knows where they'll end up? You may as well say goodbye, because that was a one-way trip! They can never come back to the present again; Sonic and Shadow are stuck in the past forever! Not to mention I've made some changes to their DNA...permanently!"

"What kind of changes?"

"Let's just say it's...mythical," Eggman sneered.

Tails didn't like the sound of that.
