Chapter 9

Thinking hard of what to do was making him frustrated. Also knowing that he had Sonic is his grasp made him feel good about himself. But knowing he didn't know how to finish him makes him mad. Amy was still in Shadow's grip finally getting some air. Everyone was just standing where they were silently. No one made a move.

"Well," Shadow asked, "What's the plan Eggman?" He didn't answer him, looking at him.

"Are you going to answer my question or are you just going to stand there?" Again he didn't answer. Shadow was getting irritated. Sonic was alert about everything going on. Amy was kicking Shadow's foot trying to get him to let go.

"Ow hey, you better stop or I'll give you a reason to kick," Shadow said while holding her neck tighter. Sonic tried to get out of Eggman's grip but he made sure he didn't get free. Sonic didn't know what was taking Eggman so long. Wouldn't he of finished him by now? Sonic cooled down a little and turned to Eggman.

"What's taking so long egg-head? I thought you wanted to finish me off," Sonic said wondering. Eggman got more irritated. He had an evil smile of his face even though he was frustrated.

"All in good time fur ball," Eggman said while be got something out of his pocket. Sonic couldn't see what it was. Then Eggman held it so they could see. It was small, colored red, black and yellow.

"You see this here," Eggman started, "It doesn't seem like much but, if you put it in use, it works like a charm," he said then placed it on Sonic's back. It began shocking him. Eggman let him go as he fell to the ground in pain. Sonic was trying to hold in his screams but it was too painful.

"No, Sonic," Amy yelled as she tried to get out of Shadow's grip but he wouldn't let go. Shadow gave out a laugh while watching Sonic suffer.

"Ha, ha, ha…not bad Eggman, he really got a shock out of that one," Shadow said while laughing at him. Amy wanted to help but she couldn't get free. The shocker stopped as Sonic was on the ground. He was shaking from the shock.

Eggman gave out an evil laugh, "So how does it feel Sonic? Painful isn't it?" Sonic didn't answer as he slowly got up to his knees holding himself up with his hands. He was facing the ground with his eyes closed because of the pain. Amy was in tears worried if he was going to be ok or not. Eggman and Shadow starred at him with an evil smile. Sonic opened his right eye looking over to them.

"If it means tormenting me for Amy's freedom, I'll accept it," Sonic said bravely.

"Sounds good to me," Shadow interrupted, "I say go with it Eggman this pink hedgehog is starting to get on my last nerves." Eggman looked at Sonic for a moment while thinking about it. Finally, I can get ride of him once and for all. Going over to Sonic, he grabs him and pulls him to his feet. Sonic didn't hesitate at all. Eggman, now knowing that he is controlling Sonic, made him feel even better.

"Shadow, be a good boy and hold Amy there while I load Sonic onto my ship."

"What does it look like I'm doing," Shadow said a little annoyed.

"Don't get smart Shadow," Eggman said as he pushed Sonic onto the ship. "Now, Sonic, you stay right in this seat or there will be consequences," He said as he started up his ship. Sonic felt sad inside, knowing this might be his last day living. He turns to Amy looking at her as she looks back. He could see the sadness and worry in her eyes. He could also spot the tear stains below her eyes. Oh how terrible he felt leaving her. That would be the last thing he would ever want to do.
