(Sonic's p.o.v)

I slowly woke up, hoping to see Sally waiting for me to wake up. But when my eyes focused, I saw I wasn't in Sally's house anymore. I tried to move, but I was strapped down my something, I moved my head up so I could see a bit more of the room.

"Ahh, I see you've awoken." A strange, but familiar voice spoke out of some loudspeaker system. "Where am I!?" I yelled.

"You're in my secret base, hidden out of sight. What's that? You want to be with your precious Princess Sally? Well I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll be leaving here alive! Ho ho ho! And even if you do... You won't live much longer with that virus you've had over the past few years, not now anyway."

What was Eggman talking about? I can understand him saying I'll supposedly not escape this base, but virus? What Virus? I didn't have a virus, did I? Wait a second... THE WEREHOG! THAT'S THE VIRUS! But... How did he know!? I've been the Werehog for ages now, if it was going to kill me, wouldn't it have already happened? I looked over towards the door, still strapped in, and Dr. Eggman walked in.

"Well Sonic, looks like you're at the end of the line."

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?" I yelled.

"Oh, you know your little Gaia Virus you've got? Well, I've come up with a chemical, that when combined with the blood of someone with the Gaia Virus, such as yourself, the virus will slowly override the body, and slowly kill them. Ha ha ha. I tried injecting it when we last met, but I merely didn't have enough time to inject the full dosage, and you wonder why you passed out earlier. You already had a small amount of it in your bloodstream."

"WHAT!? So I'm slowly dying now, without a way out of it...JUST GREAT!"

"HO HO HO! Precisely RODENT! You've got 7 days to live. Good luck escaping!"

He walked out of the room, and I was left alone. What time was it? I saw a clock on one of the walls of this windowless room. "Yes! Sunset should be soon! Have I really been out for the entire day? Oh well, all I can do for the moment is wait." I told myself.

Not long after, the strike of pain came back. Only this time, it was a lot worse than usual. "AHHH" I screamed. Then the purpley coloured smoke came out of my chest once again. The metal straps around my wrists instantly broke once the transformation occurred. I then pulled the straps from around my ankles and broke down the door. The security system was activated and lasers came shooting at me from all directions. I grabbed hold of one of the laser cannons, not only destroying it, but gave me the chance to glide down the hallway without being killed.

I stretched my arms to each of the laser cannons, destroying them in the process, suddenly some Egg Fighters came to stop my escaping. I picked one of them up, and started swinging him around, knocking the rest of the robots out. I saw the exit and ran on all fours towards it, but the door started closing on me! I took a few swings of my claws and ripped the door open. I had escaped.

Now just to find my way back to Knothole.
