CHAPTER 2: OH BROTHER…
Sonic leaned against the bars of the cage in half relaxation half anger.
Why had Eggman to chain him so tight?!
He snapped out of his thoughts when the fantastic trio appeared by the door
"You keep him" Bocoe said
"No, you keep him" Decoe retorted back while the baby cried and kicked around
"Make him shut up! He's giving me a headache!" Eggman said, his voice one of frustration
"We can't understand what's wrong with him" Decoe said again while Bocoe tried to shut him up
"Do you even KNOW how to handle a hedgehog?" Sonic said, amused by the whole situation
"Why should I bother learning about something I want dead?" Eggman asked irritated as a new lou-pitched scream made him cover his ears in frustration
Sonic looked at him and grinned
"Let me handle it" Sonic said, getting everyone's attention
"As if!" Eggman began, his trademark grin "it's just an attempt to escape!" Eggman finished, happy with himself to see the other one's annoyance
"It's fine with me!" Sonic said again while little hedgie punched Bocoe's head "I'm having enough fun here, hahahaha" Sonic broke down laughing at the display making Eggman turn around
The little hedgie had managed to separate Bocoe's head from the body, using it as some kind of ball.
"Help! Eggman-sama!" Bocoe screamed in frustration as his head was kicked around by the laughing baby
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING LITTLE RUNT?" Eggman screamed, making everyone, baby included, stop in their tracks
Eggman walked towards the boy and grabbed his quills making Sonic cringe
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Sonic said slowly while Eggman turned, baby in his grasp
"and why no-OWW!" he immediately let go of the said creature as soon as his quills sharpened leaving a short but deep cut on Eggman's hand.
"That's why" Sonic said while Eggman cursed
"Alright" Eggman began "come out instantly!" he finished, anger evident in his voice
The little hedgie stood hidden, fearing being caught by the large man
Meanwhile Eggman put on an anti-cut glove on his fine hand and waited
"NOW!" he repeated making sonic jump
At that said, the kid tried to run towards the door to escape
'Predictable' Eggman thought smiling, grabbing the running infant making him gasp in surprise and fear.
The boy looked up to meet the terrifying gaze of his captor
"Alright" Eggman said, approaching Sonic's cage.
The older hedgehog watched in silence as Eggman opened the main door, launched the baby in and closed right after.
Sonic had caught the baby before he could hit the floor
"YOU take care of him" Eggman said
"What?!" Sonic said back "release me from here!" he said again
"Not a chance" Eggman said back, leaving
"Hey wait a second!" Sonic said
"What do you want?" Eggman stopped at the edge of the door
"Could you at least give me a blanket?" Sonic asked, eyeing the baby
"And why?" Eggman said, trying to irritate the other further
"Because hedgehogs like this one need a hotter temperature genius" Sonic said while the kid toyed with his ear.
"Oh…" Eggman didn't expect that "Alright. I'll go get it" Eggman said again.
He returned after some minutes with a little blanket, giving it to Sonic who wrapped it immediately around the kid's body
"That's why he was crying?" Eggman inquired, receiving a nod from his enemy
"Yep" Sonic said, smiling at the child's yawn
It was getting late and Sonic tried to find a comfortable position without crushing the other hedgehog with his weight.
'At least he could have chosen a bigger cage…' Sonic thought with annoyance.
At that, the child started crying again.
Sonic sighed
This was going to be a long night…
