I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff out
I want this story to be something I go to when I can't write SIN and SAND
So here ya go chapter 2!
The next morning came sooner than I had hoped for, all Rouge had let me do yesterday was lay in bed, ending in me going to sleep early. I didn't need to sleep if I had a Chaos Emerald, but at the moment I had none. Rouge woke me up the next morning at around 8:00 before kissing me on the forehead, and then leaving me to myself for a little while before the faker showed up.'I have to hide' was the only thought running through my mind in that time I had, I continued to run through the house looking for any kind of place I could hide from the yellow fox so hopefully he would just leave. Thank Chaos I found a hiding spot in a cabinet in Rouge's room, sure it was a bit dark and dusty but it was better than dealing with the small yellow fox for a day.
The creaking of the door and the loud call of "Shadow!" indicated Tails had arrived, I kept still and quiet not wanting to alert the other of my presence.
"Shadow!?" Tails yelled again, I could easily hear a bit of shuffling and banging from downstairs. "I know you're hiding Shadow!" He yelled out though the house. A loud thump indicated that Tails had entered Rouge's room, I heard some beeping, and obviously he was using one of his inventions to find him using his chaos signal. "Shadow, come out of the cabinet…" I sighed and climbed out, looking at the much smaller fox. Tails sighed and told me to follow him into the other room.
"Listen Shadow, I don't want to be here as you want me to," I gave him an annoyed look to which he winced but continued. "I much rather be finding my brother…" I nodded but soon stopped realizing what he really said. "So we might as well just-"
"Wait, Sonics missing?"
"Yeah… Sonics been missing for a couple months now…" So that's the missing someone we got out of work for. But why? I was perfectly capable of finding the blue hedgehog!
"Tails, walk me to G.U.N. I need to speak to them." Tail's nodded and we headed downstairs, I grabbed my coat and slung it on.
oO Oo
Soon enough we made it to G.U.N. headquarters, I used my I.D. card to get in the building and bust through the door. The woman at the desk looked surprised to see me.
"Shadow!? What are you doing here!?" I ran passed the woman and into the first conference room and instantly ran into Rouge and the rest of the G.U.N. main agencies.
"Shadow!?"
"Rouge! What is he doing here!?" I growled. Rouge had lied to me? Why was I un-allowed to know about this!?
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. They all backed up a step at my unnecessarily and uncharacteristically loud voice.
"Shadow, you weren't supposed to be here hun…" I already realized I wasn't supposed to be here, it was kind of obvious.
"And why not!?" I growled, they were starting to get on my nerves. "I know this is about Sonic being missing!" The all went pale, white as ghosts or Rouge's fur, they were hiding something very secretive.
"Shadow… He's only missing… to the public…" My eyes went wide.
"He's in the base?"
"Yes, he was only recently brought back from another dimension, his condition is… unwanted…" Unwanted? What that meant was soon explained, the large screen behind them flashed on and showed a large mass of fur in a corner of a room. My eyes went wide, oh god, I was gonna suffocate again.
"No… no, no, no… This isn't possible…" My breathing increased heavily, a dream again!? Where in the name of Chaos was I going to suffocate this time!?
"Agent Shadow?" One of the other agents put a hand on my shoulder, I jumped at it and ran near Rouge.
"Rouge I'm dreaming… that… fur… is gonna suffocate me like in all my other dreams!" I felt like I was going insane, that fur was going to either drive me mad or suffocate me to death before long.
"What? No hun, you're not dreaming, and that fur is Sonic. He's just sleeping right now." Sonic? The furry creature sitting in the corner of the large grey room, normally used for observing criminals, was Sonic the Hedgehog? World's fastest Mobian and hero?
"How'd this happen? What is he?" These questions were the first that crossed my mind that wouldn't be related to my dreams and their relativity to this situation.
"Were not sure… he's been like this before on an Earth and Mobius mixed counterpart, but he changed back in the daytime and he wasn't as aggressive." I watched as a plate filled with large raw steaks slide into frame on the screen, the large mound of fur unrolled to reveal a feral wolf-like beast with large teeth. The thing further unrolled to stand up, stretching his large muscular body, and finally making its way over to the plate. It sniffed the meat before snorting and strutting its way over to, supposedly the door, out of frame.
"He's been acting this way for months now, he'll only eat when he absolutely has to…" I looked at the creature as he walked back into frame and slumped near the plate, pushing it around with his nose some and then laying his head down along with his body.
"He wants it alive…" I mumbled only loud enough for them to barely hear it.
"What do you mean 'alive'?" One of the scientists asked obviously shaking in his boots.
"Alive-alive… he wants something to rip apart… he doesn't just want to eat… he wants to hunt…" If this truly was Sonic as they were saying, the blue hedgehog always wanted a fight, something he could take control of.
"Kernel…" I saluted the man when I addressed him. "We still have those test cow and sheep?" He took a minute to think before nodding.
"Yes, not all of them, but we still have a few left. Why?" Oh… He was about to see why. I ran into the room with the live animals and grabbed out a sheep, soon enough I had it dragged all the way back to Sonic's temporary holding cell. Forcing the sheep inside, I quickly shut the door behind it, and behind me. I could hear the intercom go off and several voices erupted. Finally one hushed them all and spoke into the mic.
"Shadow, what do you think you're doing hun?" It of course was Rouge, she was mainly the only one to truly care about me. I shook my head at the camera and shrugged, I didn't think they could hear me. "We can hear you shoog…"
"I'm not sure, I just wanted to see him… up close…" I sat down ready to watch blood fly and sheep guts spray onto the walls, I honestly wasn't a fan of gore, but when it came to majestic animals and my dreams, I loved it… The creature sniffed the sheep as it walked over to him but let it wander other than that. Why wasn't it eating it? Was it just not hungry?
"Shadow please get out of there, this was the whole reason we didn't wanna tell you… You just had to pet the sheep and cows before they exploded, you just had to see the rabbit do one trick before he left the base to his owner. You love animals Shadow, we know you can't help it but please… this is just extreme…" The large animal continued to watch the sheep walk around until its eyes landed on me, its head raised and his ears alert and perked.
I gulped once before I felt a giant mass push itself onto me, and everything went black…
