-Dr Robotnik P.O.V.-
I was standing in my main control room, smiling. I can't believe it, well I do. A royal hedgehog in my cell. His fate in my hand. I look at my hand to see his silly medallion. This was a great day. I have won. Now it is time for Manic to take the one-way trip to the roboticizer.
"Sleet! Dingo!" I called.
I turn around as the pair run in.
"Yes Dr Robotnik sir, how may we serve you?" Sleet asked.
I smiled.
"What can we do?" Dingo asked.
"I want you to take Manic Hedgehog to the roboticizer immediately." I told them, then looked at Dingo.
For once he did something right.
"Also Dingo, remind me later that I have to reward you for capturing that blasted hedgehog." I told him.
"Yes sir." Dingo said smiling. "Let's go sleet." Dingo then said.
The pair walked out. I started laughing. With him gone, Queen Aleena will never come back, the prophecy will never come true and I will rule. I put the medallion down on the computer. One down, two to go. I chuckled as I head off. Things were going my way.
-Manic P.O.V.-
I was still sitting in the corner of the cell with my face buried in my legs. I am so doomed. Soon I am going to be roboticize. No one is going to miss. I'm alone in this world. I have no one. I thought I could count on Sonia and Sonic, but they didn't understand me. Sonia thinks I'm a sewer rat. Sonic thinks I'm a thief. All because we have different upbringing. They don't know what it is like. Ferrell was all I had. Sure, maybe I am a thief, but it wasn't easy growing up. I then heard footsteps so I looked up to see two more SWATbots. I got up as one opens the cell and walked in. I had to do something to escape. I couldn't think of anything so I stood there. I was picked up from the back of my vest and carried out. This was it for me. The one-way trip to the roboticizer. We headed out and I looked down. I was scared. For the first time, I was scared and no one was going to save me. I felt tears in my eyes. I was done for.
"Stop right there!" I heard a voice shout.
It was a female voice. Then next thing I knew I was on the ground with the two SWATbots that were carrying me, destroyed. I look up to see the woman that destroyed them. She had midnight blue fur, her quills came down he side and just pass her shoulders and was wearing a red shirt, brown leather straps around her arm, jeans that looked old and dirty, a black belt, black leather boots and is holding something that looked like a sword, but was bright orange. She then hit a button on the handle of the sword and the turn grey, then puts it behind her back. I assume that is what the straps are for and looks like another is there too. What caught me the most with this hedgehog was her eyes. They were a bright and beautiful yellow. She smiled at me as she put her hand out.
"Hi. Need a hand up?" she asked with a friendly smiled.
I took her hand and she pulled me up. She was beautiful.
"Hi. My… my name is Manic, Manic Hedgehog." I introduced.
She giggled at me.
"I know who are Manic." she told me.
I sighed.
"My name is Midnight Rose." she introduced.
Midnight, what a beautiful name.
"Midnight, well thank you. For helping me." I said as I looked away.
Midnight giggled.
"No problem. It looked like you needed it anyway." Midnight said.
I sighed. I thought I was done for. I looked at Midnight who was looking around.
"We should go. They would know by now something is wrong. We don't have long." Midnight told me.
"Okay, how?" I asked.
Midnight grabbed my hand and I blushed.
"This way." Midnight said as she started running, dragging me alone.
I did my best to keep up with her, but it was hard. We go out and went deeper into the forest, using the darkness to advantage. I found the bush where my stuff was hiding and looked at her.
"Now what?" I asked her.
I really have no idea where to go from here.
"Follow me." Midnight said walking off.
I followed her. I had nowhere else to go.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"There is a cave not far from here. We should take shelter in that for the night. It feels like it is going to be a cold one." Midnight explained.
I nod. Our walk quickly turned into a run. I smiled. This was a new start. I can feel it. Midnight looked like she knows where she is going. I hope Sonia and Sonic don't find us.
-Sonia P.O.V.-
We got near the base and it was huge. I was scanning the area and sighed as I thought of a plan.
"Okay sis, any ideas on how we are destroying this place?" Sonic asked.
"We still have the bombs, I can find where we can make a chain reaction and blow this place up." I explained.
Sonic nodded. Sonic grabbed my wrist and took me to the control room in a blur. I walked to the computer and go into shock. Manic's medallion. I grabbed it.
"Sonic!" I called.
"What is it?" Sonic asked walking over.
"Look." I said, showing him the medallion.
Then in a blur, he was gone. I sighed as I went to finding where we can set those bombs. I have a bad feeling. What if we are too late? What if he is gone?
-Sonic P.O.V.-
Manic is here. I have to find him and fast. I looked all the cells but so far I haven't found him. This can't be happening. I can't find him. After failing, I ran back to the control room where I left Sonic. Sonia was in tears, holding Manic's medallion close to her chest.
"He's gone, isn't he Sonic?" Sonic asked softly.
I sighed.
"I don't know." I replied.
"Set the bombs here, then come and pick me up." Sonia told me.
I looked at the blueprints and ran off, setting the bombs up. I grabbed Sonia on my way out and made it to the van. We waited and watched the base exposed. We should be happy, but we aren't. We lost Manic, but he isn't dead or roboticize. No, I know he is out there. I can feel it. Somehow, Manic got away, but left his medallion. I know it. I looked at Sonia, then guided her into the van. We had to head back to base. I got into the driver seat and headed off. Sonia was next to me, clenching onto Manic's medallion. What do I say? I sighed, I don't know what to say. It was going to be a long drive back.
