Chapter#2 Loss for Thoughts

Suddenly the trio split. Sonic charged to the right, Knuckles left, and Tails shot straight to the middle of the robot. Sonic and Knuckles pinned the robot's giant arms to the wall, causing its head to swerve up. "No! What are you doing!!!?" Eggman screamed, but secretly, this was all part of his plan. Now that the robots arms were unable to guard, Tails headed for the chest of the robot. Sure enough there was a small panel. Tails opened it and with his screwdriver, fiddled with the wire and machinery. This sent electric blue volts through the robot as it roared to a stop and slumped down.

Knuckles and Sonic jumped down in front of the robot to Tails, putting the screwdriver away. "Nice one, Dawg" Knuckles said giving tails a high five "liked the hustle out there" sonic said slapping Tails on the back. "What about Cheese?" Tails said, after they were all done exchanging high fives. "Good question" Sonic said, he marched of to the head that was now slumped on the ground.

"Hey!" Sonic shouted to the head, which was the glass cockpit for Eggman. There was no answer. The room seemed a lot colder and darker, and an eerie silence filled the room, along with the sound of smoke simmering from the battle.

The windshield was all fogged up and cracked, it was impossible to see Eggman inside. "Yo Eggman" Sonic shouted
"Where's Cheese?" Still no answer "I don't like this" Knuckles said. Suddenly the Robot roared to life and Sonic wasn't quick enough to escape the lunging grasp of the right robotic arm.

"Sonic!!!" Tails shouted, but before anything could be done the arm brought Sonic up to the now open cockpit. Sonic was struggling to break free, when suddenly he was locked into the horrifying evil smirk of Doctor Eggman as he pressed a yellow button. Suddenly two Headlights like objects on the head began to glow a bright orange.

The eyes then shot out a golden orange voltage into Sonic's eyes as it electrocuted him violently. Knuckles and Tails watched in horror, for there was nothing they could do. "Argh!!" Sonic exclaimed in pain. Doctor Eggman was laughing wildly, and the sickening noise snapped something in Knuckles brain as his eyes narrowed with anger. He roared as he leapt into the air throwing a devastating punch so hard the arm literally fell to pieces.

Sonic fell to the ground unconscious, as the robot crashed into the ground and exploded. The Eggmobile, carrying Eggman departed from the explosion, and flew through a hole in the roof as Eggman said "I have finally rid of you forever Sonic the hedgehog" and continued to laugh until he could no longer be heard. The explosion simmered, Knuckles lifted the motionless Sonic into his arms. "Is he?" Tails asked in a trembling voice "He's not breathing" Knuckles replied grimly.

Cream and Amy were sitting in Cream's backyard. Cream was petting Cheese on the head, but her face was sad. Eggman's robot had tricked her into believing the chao was kidnapped, but it was really the work of a hologram. She was so terribly worried, it had been a trap for Sonic, and she feared the danger she put him in.

"Its okay, Cream" Amy said, "Sonic and the others should be back any minute now" she assured. Cream did not answer. She still did not understand the trickery. Smiles rose at the site of Knuckles and Tails stepping into the backyard, but the smiles vanished as the still Sonic lay in Knuckle's arms.

"Is he ok!?" Amy rushed over in distress "Please" Knuckles said "He needs rest." Later Sonic was sleeping in a big bed, a doctor confirmed Sonic would live, but could be in a deep slumber for days, and it would be best to leave him alone. Word got out of sonic condition, and people worried for the hero, but nothing could be done, and no visits were aloud.
