Chapter title

Caught in leeks

Greek Idiom

(Caught red-handed)

"Sonic Wind!"

Blue, wild Chaos energy was unleashed from Sonic's body, passing right over Shadow's head while continuing to run through the field in abnormal speeds. It cut right through every robot that came into contact with, making them fall to the ground, destroyed with sparks coming out of the ripped halves. Thankfully that attack took most of the robots out. Unfortunately it also knocked the air out of Danny and Vlad who were watching in awe the stunts executed by the hedgehogs. They fell onto a tree and then on a pile of disintegrating leaves making them fly on random directions. Danny kept lying there moaning while Vlad grunted, stood up and became intangible making the dirt and leaves fall off him.

"Fudge buckets! Are these two completely out of control?" Vlad rhetorically asked.

Meanwhile on the other side of the field

Shadow slowly rose from his curled up position, his hair/fur standing up from the excess chaos energy that was on the air. His eyes slightly widened when he saw dozens of robots -or what Shadow thought was left of them- on the ground, smoke coming out of them. Then he turned his head to see Sonic, a little wary, being as surprised as he. The only difference was that Sonic's face revealed his surprise. His ears were folded back, eyebrows raised and his eyes were really wide. His mouth was opened agape and he was staring at the robots.

"When we get to the fox's workshop, you and I will have a talk about controlling chaos energy and not unleashing it and watch what happens."

Sonic looked at him, still surprised. Then he frantically nodded. Suddenly his eye caught something. That something being two human figures, one of a teenagers and one of an adult with a weird haircut. Shadow also noticed them and frowned.

"Uhh... Did I hit them?" asked Sonic.

"Apparently, yes" retorted Shadow who inspected them closer. "And you seem to have mutated them since they are glowing. Also one of them has white hair while the other has blue skin."

"Wait, what?" asked Sonic. He too focused on the figures and instantly dashed to them leaving Shadow behind. 'What are you doing?' Shadow attempted to say but he instead sighed and walked casually towards the two figures.

Vlad was busy cleaning his suit that he didn't notice a blue blur coming straight at him at high speeds. Danny, however, who sat up and cracked his spine, did, but wasn't fast enough to react, other than his tanned skin becoming paler. Vlad noticed that and turned around only to see Sonic in front of him and Shadow a bit behind him.

"Hey are you..." Sonic started to say but abruptly stopped. "Danny? And are you that billionaire guy?" Sonic was shocked. The teen had the exact same silhouette as Danny and their only difference was the colour of the hair, eyes and that his skin was tanned. He secretly wondered if that guy was Danny's equivalent of Shadow aka a guy who looks a lot like you but at the same time doesn't look a lot like you. As for the other guy some sort of an instinct kept screaming in his ear that he's Vlad Masters. "Did I hit you with the..."

As Sonic continued talking whatever colour was left on Danny faded. Sonic had instantly recognized him and Vlad. What would happen if he found out? Actually how did he found out?

On the meanwhile Vlad had lost his shocked expression and formed an ectoblast in his right hand. With the right amount of energy and the right place to hit, the pup would remember nothing... now if the other one would be kind enough to come close enough so he could hit them at the same time...

Perfect! As Shadow came next to Sonic, Vlad charged his hands and attacked the two hedgehogs, trying to hit the back of their head. However Sonic reacted just in time to avoid the hit and Shadow, even though moved just in time to avoid getting hit in the back of his head, took the full blast of those two in the chest.

While Shadow fell to the ground barely conscious, a furious Sonic pinned Vlad in a tree, so hard, that the tree cracked.

"You have five seconds to explain yourself" hissed Sonic who kept pinning Vlad. Instead of answering, Vlad turned intangible and attempted to overshadow Sonic.

Notice the world attempted.

On the meantime Danny watched the entire fight and was at a loss of words. So as he saw Sonic's body falling to the ground he decided to stop Vlad and overshadowed Sonic too.

Unknown

Usually when a ghost overshadows a human he controls the hosts movements and may do some damage at the host's memory. It is that simple and if every ghost was asked to describe what do you do when you possess someone it would have said the above sentence.

So Vlad and Danny had no explanation why they were floating in a field full of colourful roses.

"Daniel? What are you doing here?" Vlad didn't expect Daniel to be with him.

"Stopping you." said Danny who got ready for a fight, but quickly relaxed "Speaking of which; where is here?"

Vlad descended towards the flowers who were were being rocked by a none-existent wind. At random intervals some petals left the flower mass and kept going at the direction of the supposed wind, swinging and turning. In the distance you could make out some buildings, small and big.

"I suppose something might have gone wrong with my fight with Sonic. It seems that we are in his subconscious" Vlad's grin intensified "Imagine all the secrets we could discover"

Danny however wasn't so fond of this place. "We really should go... Besides it's none of your business Vlad!" he said, his hero complex coming into action. "It's his mind"

"Exactly. And that's what makes it so interesting." he replied. "And we can't leave, I tried. But honestly, I'm very curious to see what the little pup has in his head" Vlad's feet touched the ground and he observed the place they were in. Then he leaned down to grab a flower.

"Get. Out. Now."

A voice was heard. Despite its calm tone the warning was clear, sending shivers down both Vlad and Danny's mind. Soon the scenery became a whirlwind of colours, sucking them too until they left this place as suddenly as they had entered it.

Sonic instantly stood up from the ground, sweat tickling down his forehead while gasping, his body trying to relax in vain. He could feel his heart pumping blood so fast that would shame a waterfall and placed his hands on his head, eyes still shut tight. The other stood firmly on the ground supporting him. He moaned for a bit and then dared to open his eyes.

"I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msosorryI'mreallysorryI'msorryIdidn'tknow..." Danny who had recently regained his balance helped Sonic get up, continuously mumbling apologies. Whatever happened wasn't his fault; actually he tried to stop that fruit-lope. But nooo... something had to go wrong as always...

"Whuu-" Sonic was still a bit wobbly from the failed overshadowing; however the gears in his mind spun wildly after gazing at the halfa. "What on chaos' " he stepped back from Danny, as if to get a bigger shot at the view. For a moment there was complete silence. In an instant however...

"DIDIHURTYOUWITHMYATTACKBEFORE?"

"DON'TTELLANYONEABOUTTHIS!"

A few seconds of awkward silence ensued...

Only to be broken when a yellow blur rushed through them which resulted in Vlad being pinned at a tree again by an enraged ultimate lifeform. From Shadow's expression it was clear that Vlad's attack had awakened Shadow's 'killing spree' mode like blowing a hornet next to it while it was safely sleeping.

"Grave mistake"

All in all, things weren't looking great for Vlad.

"What with that noise?"

On the other side of the field where Artemis, Zak, Butler, Holly and Foaly were, one could clearly hear cries, cracks and lots of yelling. Currently a kneeling Zak was helping an also kneeling Artemis bandage Holly's hurt knee. Turns out Holly had also twisted the knee making matters even worse. The wounded alfar was sitting on a log upon the forest floor which was made by dirt and lots of disintegrating leaves. Butler was still trying to catch his breath but the centaur decided to take a look around.

"There. Try to add a bit more pressure to the wound, we don't want it to be infected." Artemis was sighting in relief because his cousin seemed to have some medical experience unlike him, who was not as good as treating wounds. Normally Butler would have taken care of Holly by now but Artemis didn't want to tire his trusty bodyguard any more.

"That's it!" announced Zak as he happily observed their handy work. "Feeling any better?" he tried to ask politely to the female Captain. "You may have to limp for a little while but still, it's better than nothing right?"

"Yes." Holly observed her leg and was impressed by Zak's skills. He seemed to have done anything possible to help her and Captain Short was nothing but a alfar with pride. "Thank you" Also it didn't hurt as much as before. "I really appreciate it. But where did you learn all this?"

Zak laughed nervously. "Well, my parents are cryptologist and let's just say we get a lot of twisted knees and other wounds. It's no big deal, really."

"Hey! You've to come and see this!" Foaly came out of the bushes galloping towards them. After he stopped, he saw Holly knee was successfully bandaged. He instantly pouted.

"It's no fair. You let the others help you but you screamed your lungs off when I tried."

"Holly may I help you sit up?" offered Artemis as Butler and Zak stood up and stared at him and took his outstretched hand while muttering 'hero complex'.

Foaly rolled his eyes. Zak came closer to the centaur and looked at him.

"So, what happened? Did you find the others? Sonic, Shadow, anyone?"

"Hm?" Foaly seemed lost for a moments probably because of his low span of attention, but quickly understood what the boy asked. "Ah, yes, you've got to come and see this." He dashed through the trees, expecting the others to follow him, which they did. After a while they came upon the opening where the two Mobians had fought the robots.

"No way!"

Zak was the only one to speak because the others -sans Foaly- were at a loss of words.

Inumerable robots remains of the ones that fought before, stood before them. Their sheer number was uncountable (actually it was countable but still was a pretty huge number).

"Those must be the robots that followed Sonic and Shadow before" Artemis was dumbstruck. Who could hav taken out such vast numbers of robots when they had gone through so much trouble of defeating two?

"Or what's left of them." Butler finished his young Master's thoughts. Deep down he was fazed and instantly scanned the place in case that whatever that took down those robots returned.

"But they were after Sonic and Shadow..." As long as she had worked in LEP Captain Shorts hadn't meet anything with such power. Not even a bull troll.

There was again silence until Artemis spoke.

"As far as things go there are two -pardon me, three possible answers to our questions. One, a powerful creature attacked their robots themselves and the other two have escaped. Two those two did that to the robots themselves. " The others eyes widened in amazement as they again observed the battlefield "However had they escaped or defeated them they would have returned by now. And that leaves us to question number 3 which would also explain why Danny and Mr. Masters escaped..." He trailed of for a minute.

Zak who lowered his head completed the thought. "... Whatever attacked the robots killed the others too."
