Arrow jumped out of bed, looking around. Looking down, the wolf noticed he was fully naked, and covered himself with his tail. "How the hell did THIS happen?" He looked at the floor; all of Silver's clothes were there, too, down to the underwear. "Well, since he's gone anyways..." Arrow grabbed Silver's undies and shirt, slipping them on, giggling. "Looks better on me, anyways." Then he stammered outside, into the cold, dark night, looking around for a trace. On the ground, tracks led off into the underbrush behind the camp. Arrow decided he should wake everyone up. He snuck into Sonic's and Tails' tent, trying to shake the two awake. It was useless.
"Damn it, am I really gonna have to do this alone?" The wolf whispered to himself, exiting the tent, now looking over at Jake's. "I think it'd be better if I didn't even TRY to wake HIM... Sorry, baby..." Arrow followed the tracks, running off, deep into the woods, alone, looking for Silver.
Silver struggled and thrashed out at the creature that had him in his hold. The creature had moved away from the campsite at least over ten miles at an amazing speed. Later it had stopped and looked back behind them waiting to see or hear if his friends might be coming. After a minute of nothing, the creature dropped Silver to the ground leering over him.
"What do you want with me?" Silver asked shivering crawling away from the shaded beast before him. That had only made the creature follow him slowly and eerily until he backed up into a tree at the end of the small rocky clearing.
"You ask me what I want with you young one?" A husky voice asked with small traces of amusement in it. "I want your body." It stated grabbing onto Silver's shoulders holding him down crushing him under its body weight. Silver let out a pained cry shuffling in every direction. Silver began to swear and curse at the beast, until he began to cry.
"Don't cry; I'll make this as painless as possible. But all I need you to do is calm down and let me start. I've had a very long day waiting for you, so don't test my patience." It said tasting Silver's cheek, it moved its head down towards Silver's exposed crotch and began to play its tongue around there.
"Stop!" Silver screeched bringing up his leg high enough to actually kick the beast's face as it hissed in anger and annoyance.
"Dare you strike me? Dare you strike someone who could kill you in a second without a second thought?" The being hissed at Silver grabbing onto his stock quills pulling him up off the ground and into the air. He let out a pained scream holding onto his quills thrashing his legs out. "Maybe you're lucky enough I don't have the strength to do anything tonight. Waiting around all day to take you was tiring enough." With that, the unknown being bite down onto the crying hedgehog's neck injecting a blood freezing venom into his blood stream, instantly knocking him out cold.
Arrow had checked around for about two hours, and had now started running at top speed, this accomplished by him getting on all fours. "SILVER? SILVER, WHEREVER YOU ARE, ANSWER ME! PLEASE, SILVER! HELLO!" The wolf was screaming at the top of his lungs, checking every tree and bush as he zoomed by them at supersonic speed. He had come quite a long way, and was now just about eight miles from the campsite. He didn't give up, though, and kept sprinting, following the beast's tracks, hoping they'd end soon. "SILVER! ANSWER ME, SILVER! SILVER!" This one scream had enough volume to reach the dark figured assailant.
The creature hissed when he heard his prey's familiar name, he took the hedgehog over his shoulder and made a route of fake tracks leading straight, while he traced back covering his tracks and headed of into a different direction.
A while later, Arrow stopped at the fork in the road. "Something's not right, here..." Arrow felt both paths in the ground with his hands. "How odd... The path with no tracks feels warmer than the path with tracks... As if someone's been down THIS way more recently, but without making any marks... Time to trust my gut instinct." Arrow stood up, dusting his hands off, and started normally running down the warmer path, screaming out Silver's name once again.
The monster hissed in frustration as it kept moving around finding away to get out of reach, these Mobians were smarter then it had thought them to be. It carelessly dropped Silver speeding off into the forest ahead of it.
Arrow started to tire, as morning started rising over the forest, slowing down around the area the shaded monster had dropped his friend. He saw the passed out hedgehog on the floor, cold and pale, as if poisoned, but still had a heartbeat, as Arrow checked.

"Silver? Silver, buddy, wake up, now..." Arrow tried shaking him, but nothing worked. He began to cry over Silver's body. "Oh, Silver, I'm so sorry... I... I couldn't keep that promise..." He leaned in, kissing the hedgehog on the lips. "I'm so sorry..." With those words, the wolf sat down next to Silver's body, holding it in his arms, then stood back up. "I WILL get you help, Silver... Just hold on... Let's hope we can make it back..."
The creature lurked in the underbrush careful not to touch anything that would make a noise, once it was clear for a good shot it tackled Arrow to the ground biting him as well. The creature wasn't sure if the wolf had seen him or not due to the rising sun, but either way it would soon be too late for his friend. It once again hauled Silver over its shoulder, leaving whatever other predator came across Arrow.
"S...Silver... I'm... So... Sorry-" Arrow reached his hand out for the hedgehog, but instantly passed out from the venom. He now lay on the forest floor, unable to move, a twitching body of broken nerve connections.
Back at camp, Tails, Sonic, and Jake had awaken, and were now looking everywhere for Silver and Ado.
"ADO! SILVER! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!" Tails became worried.
"Don't worry, honey, I'm sure they just ran off again..." Sonic comforted Tails by wrapping his arm around the fox's waist, firmly.
"I disagree Sonic; they would have told one of us if they went anywhere. Besides it's six in the morning, where could they have gone without us?" Jake stated, leaning against a tree.
"Well, why the hell do you think I have to figure EVERYTHING out, huh, weasel? Can't ya do anything for YOURSELF?" Sonic stepped closer to Jake. "Oh, wait, I FORGOT, that's why you have that stupid wolf who can't even LOVE you correctly." Sonic pushed a finger against Jake's chest, grinning evilly.
"Oh god, not this again..." Tails sighed, turning around to avoid the oncoming argument.
Jake frowned, "I don't know why you always want to pick a fight with me, but either way aren't you worried?" Jake asked ignoring the tempting taunts.
"Hey, don't ignore me, weasel! I'm fucking talking to you, here!" Sonic couldn't get a response out of Jake. "FINE THEN, YOU JACKASS! See if I care! Have fun finding 'em ALONE, 'cause if I find your boyfriend before YOU do, he's DEAD." With that, Sonic stormed off into the forest alone, leaving Tails alone with Jake.
Jake stood up straight and looked into the direction Sonic had walked to. "Right now, I think Sonic finding Ado is the least of our problems." Jake walked over to Ado and Silver's tent and noticed the tracks that were set last night. "Tails, would you know what could have made these?"
Tails inspected the tracks closely. "Hmmm... Of the Reptilian family, for SURE... But, it seems almost..." The fox gasped, stepping back. "THEY'RE GOING TO BE EATEN!" He started crying. "IT'S A NAGA! IT'S A FUCKIN NAGA!"
Jake gasped in fear, "What's a naga?" He asked dumbfounded unaware of what danger his love and his friend were in.
"The outcasts of Mobius, they're a Reptilian group of Mobians who hide in nature from the sun, and populations. They're brutal savages, a horrid species. What's worse is that they're cannibalistic. They prey on whatever poor souls are unlucky enough to sleep through an attack..." Tails began to cry.
The weasel's eyes widened in anger when he had heard what a naga was. "We'd better find them, and fast. There's still a chance they haven't done anything yet." Jake yelled hauling Tails behind him to where the tracks entered and leaved the clearing on which they had made their site.
"Jake, don't you think we should at LEAST plan this out better, first?" Tails almost tripped, and screamed.
Jake checked back behind him to make sure he was okay, "We probably don't have much time as it is. Planning won't do anything; it'll only shorten out time." He jumped over a log bringing Tails with him and landed, the came across the first stop the naga who had taken Silver stopped. The ground was soft so you could see every movement that was made. Jake has spotted footprints in the mushy ground going to one path without the naga's tracks, and the other with two naga trail marks going in the other. He inspected them along with Tails.
"Jake, the tracks that go the opposite way of the Naga... They're Ado's... Look at the prints. Those are DEFINITELY Ado's footprints... So, here's the question, who do we pursue after? The Naga, or Ado?" Tails looked back and forth in both directions.
"It's most likely the naga took Silver, I think Ado's tracks would have a bit more hesitated if he was carrying Silver and there are no more tracks besides these. If Ado was alright he would have come back to us already, the same goes for Silver." He got up and started walking down the path the naga had gone, "You go after Ado, and I'll go pay our terrorist a visit." Jake ran off into the direction of the naga before Tails could utter a word in protest.
Silver was waking up soon after the venom had worn off, he briefly groaned in pain. He tried to shift position to get more comfy, but he couldn't move. He opened his eyes to investigate, but to his demise he was trapped in coils of a black scaly tail with a red underbelly and artistic red streaks. Silver was about to scream but a black furred hand was able to prevent it by covering his mouth. The frightened ivory hedgehog struggled to get out of the hold of the beast containing him.
"Awake are we now?" The beast said, it brought Silver around to face him. Revealing a hedgehog, with jet black quills rising up from his head with red streaks on the top of each along his buff arms and on the top edge of his sharp eyes. His eyes were a deep bloody crimson reptilian eye. The beast also had a tan muzzle which held a row of sharp dagger like teeth in its mouth smiling sadistically. He had a tuft of white fur similar to Silver's but much smaller and innocent looking, it looked like a small patch of innocence surrounded by sin and death. Finally from the waist down, the body of a snake took form leading down to the coils of tail holding Silver in his place.
"What are you? Who are you?" Silver asked shivering.
The beast smiled replying, "A naga, and your worst nightmare."
Tails walked down the path which Ado was passed out on. He found the wolf's colourless, mangled body, lying motionlessly on the forest floor.
"ADO! HOLD ON!" Tails ran up to Ado's body, checking to see if he was still alive. His eyes were still open, as if he had died, but he still had a weak heartbeat. He noticed three large bite marks on Ado's neck, gasping. "Naga poisoning... Lucky I know how to treat it." Grabbing a small syringe from his back pocket. "Sorry, Ado. This may send you into a bit of a shock. Its an immune booster against Naga poison, it'll also wake ya up." Tails injected it into Ado's arm, hoping for the best. "Come on, please... Work..." Ado's body started to twitch, as colour returned. "YES!"
Jake was jogging through the forest, hopefully hot on the naga's tail. But he ran into the blue speed demon on the way.
"Oh, great, it's YOUR worthless ass again, weasel." Sonic paused. "Probably the only good feature you HAVE..." He mumbled to himself, dusting off his hands as if ready for a one-sided fight.
Jake only glared at him, "Look Sonic as much as I live to fight you, right now you and I are going to save Silver's ass." Jake said walking along the interrupted path.
Sonic growled at the weasel. "No. There's no way in HELL I'm helping YOU do ANYTHING. I'm just here to find that dirty little boyfriend of yours, and put an END to him."
"He didn't do anything so leave him out of this, and if you do touch him I'll go after Tails." Jake said grimly. "Besides you're not helping me, you'll be helping Silver. He's going to die if we don't hurry."
"Okay, fine, just shut up and I'll help you." Sonic crossed his arms reluctantly, and then followed Jake down the Naga's path.
"Stop moving, you're making this very difficult." The naga hissed frustrated, Silver was kicking and waving his arms around helplessly. Luckily for him though it was only slowing the hungry naga down. "But you're also making me a challenge, thank you." He smirked, frightening Silver to stop all movements. "Well since you're down we'll start and get this over with." The naga leaned in, nuzzling Silvers quills parting the fur and stroking his forked tongue caressing the soft flesh. The ivory hedgehog began to whimper fearfully.
'I don't want to be raped.' He thought shivering again, letting his hot tears fall freely. The naga grasped the sides of the trembling hedgehog's smooth face, he shifted the position of his snake tail higher giving Silver's legs a bit of slack. The naga pressed his lips hard against the younger boy, he pulled back slightly making enough room between the two to do as he intended. Silver had heard a cracking noise above him, he forced himself to look up, and he became shocked as a huge soggy, ample orifice just above his tiny head as it compared size. The maw promptly incased Silver's head within. The horrified Mobian began to thrash and scream out muffled pleas for help, only in resulting in swallowing the slick saliva. The naga grunted in pleasure as the movements stretched his mouth muscles blissfully. He gulped the hedgehog a little down farther his throat, which had caused the bottom of his neck to follow. The ebony naga held the ivory one a little more stable since he was working at the shoulders now, a part he had a hard time every time a Mobian came by. Another gulp and Silver was pulled in deeper, he was screaming making the ebony's throat ripple and contract around him, making it vibrate only to cause the naga to moan.
Miles lifted a subconscious Ado onto his back. "Hold on as tightly as you can." He whispered, and then took off, flying high into the air above the forest, looking carefully for signs of Jake and Sonic below them. It was a difficult task to keep his twin tails whirling above him with Ado's legs on either side, but the fox managed. The wolf grabbed on tighter, afraid of falling. "I'm sorry I have to put you through this, Ado. It's much quicker than running, though..." Miles spotted their friends running down a path just ahead of them, and decided to call out for them to stop. "JAKE, SONIC, I FOUND ADO, WAIT UP!"
Jake stopped running but began to walk so Tails had a chance to keep up. "Hurry, I doubt we have anymore time!"
The naga began to vigorously taste his prey, careful not to leave a single detail not coated in his sticky spit. Silver began to slide down the throat smoothly; he lightly clamped his jaws shut on the hedgehog making him squeal from the inside. The naga now looked bloated from his chest and up. He lifted his head up to let gravity do the rest for him; he was now nearing the easiest part. He was about to reach Silver's waist and then the rest of him would go down in a second flat to his first stomach, where he would stay for a while before the naga decided he wanted to take energy off of him and send him to his second stomach to be digested.
Miles landed right next to Jake, keeping sure to touch down carefully so Ado wouldn't fall off of his back. "Alright... Come on, let's go..." Miles gasped for air, trying to hold Ado up.
"Don't worry Tails; I don't think we have to go much farther." Jake stated noting the fact Tails was trying hard to breathe, the trail was fresher then the rest farther back.
Silver kicked out wildly keeping his legs wide spread as the naga had finally reached his waist. Hoping and praying for any last minute rescue, but he was almost too short of hope to continue his pointless attempts of life. Every time the naga tried to hold the silver ones legs together, he always made it to hard and far apart to swallow properly. He decided to force the hedgehog to compress his legs together for him; he slid his fat tongue out of his mouth crawling over to Silver's vital areas fooling with whatever would make the hedgehog submit to him.
Silver froze when he had felt the monsters tongue, he urged himself to resist from letting the naga get him down any farther. He wanted to live so he would even go through this torture to do so.
"Jake, I see a clearing! Is that them, right ahead?" Tails kept Ado on his back as he pointed just a bit forward, where a naked silver hedgehog was being shoved down the throat of a snake-like creature. Tails squinted, noticing that the snake-like creature had blood red eyes. "It's that thing in the bushes! So it WAS a Naga! Jake, that's DEFINITELY them!" Ado looked over from Tails' back.
'How did HE end up naked, too?' Ado thought to himself.
The naga had stopped swallowing Silver momentarily once he had felt the presence of the hedgehog's friends. He paid them no head as he soon continued to sliver his tongue around Silver's tail hole, tasting the flesh and feeling the smooth surface. Silver shivered in disgust as he let the naga continue willingly, he hadn't the slightest idea anyone was outside from the naga about to rescue him.
Jake charged the busy naga, but he had caught his attention. The naga whipped his long snake tail at Jake's gut making him fly into a tree. He grunted in pain as he stood up again.
Miles rushed up to Jake, checking to make sure the weasel wasn't too badly injured. Sonic stepped up to the side of Jake, grinning at the weasel.
"Well, come on, you don't expect to kick this guy's ass ALONE, do ya, weasel?"Sonic readied to charge at the naga, raising his fists.
"You two be careful! Nagas DO have poisonous properties! Don't get bitten, and watch for that damned tail!" Tails warned them, as Ado stayed in the background, in shock of what was happening to Silver.
"I'm not sure it would bite us right now, but we'll have to be careful we don't get it to bite Silver." Jake stated.
Silver had felt the movement the naga had made and shivered within. The naga moaned again, feeling the small vibrations in his throat and chest. He watched the group of Mobians squabble around him; he found it entertaining watching them figure out a way to penetrate his defenses and hopefully save HIS doomed prey.
"JUST HURRY UP AND SAVE SILVER, DAMNIT!" Ado screamed from his hiding place behind a tree.
"Ow, no need to SCREAM..." Tails rubbed his ears.
"So, what the fuck DO we do? We can't actually ATTACK him that could get him to either eat Silver or bite him in half!" Sonic started getting flustered, and then thought of something. "What if we actually went after SILVER?"
Jake traced his glance at the blue hedgehog, "What are you implying to?"
Silver lay still in the naga with him still lapping his tongue at his area. He began to cry from inside, the naga stroked the pile of muscle Silver's face was placed in. He jumped in surprise from what he thought the muscle stroking him. He felt the odd comfort from it... every second he was in the naga, the sooner he would give up. He didn't have any hope left, and readied himself for his final minutes.
"Well, Weasel, in case YOU haven't gotten it, yet, due to that thick skull of yours, we can't make the Naga drop Silver without hurting him, so what if we just DISTRACT it to the point of making him lose concentration, then just PULL Silver out of it?" Tails smiled, almost laughing from the shock of hearing his boyfriend's logic.
"But there's a problem, there, honey. What's going to distract it? Silver's apparently the only thing that's been on its mind for a while, now." Just then, Ado remembered the Naga staring back and forth between him and Silver from in the bushes, and tried to back away, into the underbrush, where he'd be unseen and safe.
Jake huffed, "Good plan but there are some defects like Tails said, what are we going to use to distract it? Besides getting ourselves killed in the meantime."
The naga could sense Silver was about to give in. About time to, his friends were plotting to save them and he doubted any of them knew his autonomy well enough to know as soon as he swallowed the hedgehog completely he would be safe until he decided the boy could be digested in his second stomach. Silver slowly relaxed his legs, his breath was shaky and fearful. 'I'm going to die!' Silver screamed in his head.
Ado couldn't stop and hide behind the tree any more, he couldn't just sit and watch as Silver was killed. "USE ME!" He instantly screamed, running towards the rest of the group. "I... I don't know HOW... B-but, use ME! Don't let him die, please, Jake, DON'T LET HIM DIE!" Ado grabbed onto Jake, shivering with fear.
Jake stood in utter pain, his lover wanted to die. "I have an idea, Ado... distract him. I won't let it kill you, promise. But you need to promise me you'll trust me. Tails hide. I only need Ado and Sonic for this to work." He turned to Sonic, "Follow me."
"Wait, but, Jake, HOW do I distract him? What do I do?" Ado screamed while the weasel and the hedgehog walked away.
"Just... get his attention, do whatever it takes. He was watching us before, so try something it might find interesting. But act fast, Sonic and I can't do anything until you distract him." Jake said running into the bush with Sonic following him.
"Ummm... O... Okay..." Ado slowly started walking towards the naga, until he was close enough for it to watch. He waved his hand in the air, starting to sweat. "Umm... H-hi , Mr. Naga!" He tried turning on his cute, to distract the dark, scaly menace."I... Ehhh, I w-wuvv you, Mr. Naga!" He formed a heart with his hands, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail behind him like a puppy.
The naga grunted, and was about to start swallowing Silver again. Since the boy had already given up, and he was far too hungry to even look at the wolf. Maybe after he was done with the hedgehog, he could take the wolf as well.
Ado growled. "FINE, IGNORE ME THEN, YOU BASTARD!" Ado got onto all fours and pounced in, biting into one of the Naga's tails with his sharp canine fangs.
The naga had become annoyed now; he raised his tail and wrapped Ado in many coils. He let out a muffled snarl completely focused on the struggling wolf.
Jake and Sonic were waiting in the brush, "Alright, now get out there and fluke him out. I'll be right behind you."
Ado kept growling at the Naga, and kept struggling, no matter how useless it seemed. Using his hand with more freedom, he started scratching at the Naga's tail coils.
"Alright, weasel, I'm gonna go for the Naga's head, I'll make sure to keep him off-balance, while YOU pull out Silver." Sonic darted out of the bushes silently, and ran up behind the Naga, jumping onto his back and placing his hands over the snake like creature's eyes. "NOW, JAKE!" He screamed.
Jake jumped out of the bush dodging the tail the naga thrashed out. He climbed onto the coils keeping his balance once he was on top. He placed one foot on the naga's chest who was to distracted by Sonic to pay any notice. Jake began to pull which made Silver screech from inside, causing the naga to clamp down his jaw against Silver's body once he felt him sliding out. The movements from outside were scaring Silver, he felt someone's hands grab onto his legs and he feared it was the naga's becoming impatient and was about to stuff him down his throat. The naga wouldn't let Silver out unless it resulted into injuring him. "Damn." Jake cursed under his breath; he would need a new way to get Silver out. Only one subject rested on his mind. 'Choking hazards'. Jake jumped off the coils of black snake and reared away from the temporarily blinded naga, he wouldn't see this coming.
"JAKE, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? DON'T JUST LEAVE US HERE!" Sonic yelled, watching as Ado was being crushed below him.
Jake ignored Sonic, he charged at the naga's torso slamming against it. The naga was pushed back from the unseen contact and fell onto the ground while Sonic jumped off and he let go of Ado to steady himself and his prey. The naga felt a tickle in his throat and began to choke on Silver, he began trying to huff through his mouth but Silver blocked the air passage. Silver had collapsed inside of the naga since Jake's slam was against his head. The naga began to cough and barf the hedgehog up. Silver slid out of the naga's jaw like a dead fish, now the naga was leaning above Silver huffing with lost energy. Regurgitating takes a lot of energy for a naga since their bodies aren't used to actually doing that. The Mobians were likely to challenge him, so he slithered away speedily leaving his prey alone for the time being. He hid in the shadow's until he was sure they weren't following him. His brother wasn't going to be happy with him, losing prey and being out so late. Before leaving that area he said, "I'll get you boy, I'll be back and next time…" The naga smiled, "Your friends won't be able to find you." The naga left laughing to himself.
