"I'm sorry Sonic but I'm not done yet with my test" Tails told Sonic when he came in. "It's going to take longer then that to get some results. Why don't you go hang out with Cream and Cheese till I'm done. If you feel like your going to change again come up here"
Sonic lets out a sigh then heads back outside where Cream, Cheese and Chris were all playing in the pool.
Being afraid of water Sonic sits down on a chair and watches for awhile, smiling as they splash each other and play a round of Marco Polo.
"Marco" Chris called out with his eyes closed.
Cream giggles and calls out Polo and Cheese calls it out in Chao. Chris tries and moves closer to were the sound of thier voice were. "I'm going to get you, Marco"
"Polo heheh"
She narrowly ducks underneath the older kids arms.
"Marco"
"Polo"
Sonic chuckles and leans back in the chair to look at the sky, he lets out another small sigh and closes his eyes. He quickly dozes off to sleep again.
bPresent day/b
Sonic leans back against the alley wall and looks to the sky i "After that is when we found out this change happens every night"/i
The stars glitter in the deep black-ish blue sky, as the beast hedgehog's mind wanders into the flashback again.
He was woken up by Tails awhile later, the fox had a worried expression on his face. Quickly both headed to the garage together.
"See Sonic" He points at some papers and charts pinned to the wall. "Reading shows a abnormal amount of negative energy in your system. This isn't natural to have so much in one person from all I've seen. And from what I can tell the energy is in some sort of 'dormant' phase"
"A dormant phase?" Sonic asked.
"I think you changed cause there was a spike in the negative energy. But what triggered this and if it will happen again I can't say. And I don't know why there's such a build up inside of you in the first place"
"Well some answers are better then none I suppose" Though Sonic felt just as confused he was before.
"Give me some more time and I might find something else"
"Ok...thanks for your help Tails"
Sonic turned to walk out the door when he stops short, there was the pain in his gut again. "Um Tails"
"Yea Sonic?"
"I don't know why or how but I think I'm about to change again. I don't think anyone should see this"
The fox leaps to the windows and snaps blinds shut, Sonic grabs a pillow and puts part of it in his mouth. He tells Tails before he does that it was to muffle his screams.
When the pain inducing transformation starts up again, Tails only could watch for a few seconds after that he clamped his hands over his eyes.
Even with the pillow in his mouth, he could hear Sonic's whimpers while his body goes though it changes again. His tail grew long, the muscles expanded, his nose become more wolf like again. All of Tails just shook, hoping it would end soon.
Sonic's ears grow and his pelt darkens and lengthens, becoming the thick coat once more.
His arms extends and the talons reappear at the end of his fingers, sharp to a point.
This goes on for a nearly several unbearable minutes before Sonic drops to the ground panting in exhaustion, weakly he taps Tails leg to let him know he was done.
His eyes widen when he takes his hands off of them. "You weren't kidding Sonic when you said you turned into a beast"
Sonic nods.
"What? Can't you talk?"
Sonic ears then go down as he shook his head.
"So you've tried?"
He nods again.
Tails gets to his feet and looks over his friend "Well might as well do some tests while your like this. It might help me come to a conclusion why this has happened"
Sonic smiles and his tail wags abit. I"It would be great to find a cure as well."/I Thinking to himself.
bPresent day/biAgain/i
Suddenly Sonic's thought were interrupted when he hear a familiar laugh above him. Looking up his lips quickly curl into a snarl.
Flying high above him in his Eggmobile was Doctor Eggman, the doctor smiled down at him "Oh ho aren't you a big one, so your the beast the media is going on about. You'll be prefect for my plans to destroy a certain pest of mine"
Sonic growls at him I"Fat chance I'd ever help you"/I
But just hearing the growling and not the mental refusal the scientist chuckles "Oh don't worry" He pressed a button on his machine's dashboard. "I promise you won't feel a thing"
A large arm ending in what looked like a firehose drops from the front of the Eggmobile. Sonic's fur bristles, standing on end as the arm thing drew closer. He tenses waiting for it to shoot at him, trying to fire some sort of lazer beam or bullets.
Soon it was point blank in his face, yet it still hadn't made any attempt to attack him.
"IWell is it going to do something or what?"/I
He got his answer, all of a sudden a burst of green gas shot into Sonic's face. He lets out a roar of surprise and leaps back trying to avoided it, but it was already starting to take effect.
"It's time for you to take a nice nap my friend" Eggman chuckles with a smile.
Sonic takes tumbling step trying to stay on his feet, his mind was getting foggier and foggier. He was trying to fight off the effects of the gas but was failing miserably.
"II'm am...not your...friend"/I
"Sir is the knock-out gas even working?" One of Eggman's robots Bokun looked down at Sonic, flying next to the doctor.
"Oh don't worry, it's trying to fight but it wouldn't be able to for long."
Which was true, Sonic drops to his knees his vision was fading fast and his mind was barley able to come up with a single complete thought.
"See what did I tell you?"
Then Sonic's arms gave way and he collapses to the ground. Another mechanical arm comes out of the Eggmobile and carefully picks up the knocked out hedgehog.
"Now to my Egg Fort" Eggman happily boast as he carefully starts to steer the ship out of the city.
