Reply to Blitz:

Well Blitz, You can react as you want… Right now I will not give any spoilers XD I will try and look upon the point you mentioned though. Thought right now… I should be working, but this is just taking too much space in my head for me to be able to do anything else at the moment^^.

*Salutes* See Hope you´re having fun Blitz. ^^

*LL lies completely tied up behind the Comrades chair*

Oh Don't mind him… He is like that to make sure he gives no spoilers. *Grin*

*Evil Crackle* Oh Don't you worry… Things will be resolved… *Evil grin*

I don't really want to bother doing a Disclaimer… you already know I do not own Sega, but own the general plot, LL, Flitch and Luth. Blitz is owned by herself.

Angel Island:

The Island was calm as usual, and the Master Emerald was placed in its usual spot among the ancient ruins. However one thing was different. If one were to look around, one would not be able to see the Guardian of the Master Emerald. The Red Echidna who usually never lift his post, was nowhere in sight. Though if one was to look more inside the island, one would find him. The Master emerald had two places it could be, In its center spot, and a chamber below so it would not be out in the open. This lower chamber was made by Knuckles in case that someone would try and Steal the Emerald again from above, (Which had been done a surprising amount of times) however it was also made as a form of shelter for Knuckles himself. It was not really furnished to be seen as a house, but more as a sleeping quarter, a place that even army marines would consider low class. But that's where he slept when he finally did sleep and he enjoyed it. Knuckles was calmly sleeping, but was awakened by a buzzing noise. His senses were always sharpened since he had to look out for the emerald at all times so even small noises could wake him if they were suspicious enough.

He opened his eyes and looked around his room. The buzzing noise came from a small table next to his bed. He reached his hand over and grabbed the item that was buzzing. It was a form of communicator. The Echidna rubbed his eyes a moment.

'Who the hell is calling at this hour?' he questioned, seemingly not having a concept of what the time was. He then realized something. He had never owned a communicator in all his life, why was there one here now. The sound of small lungs breathing besides him answered that question, and all flooded back to him as he looked to his side and saw Rouge in the same bed as him, she embracing around him, thus keeping him from leaving.

The Night before:

The night had been really calm with little to no disturbances to the island and Knuckles felt safe in the knowledge that the Master Emerald would not get stolen this evening. He was passing the time with patrolling around the island and doing push-ups next to the emerald. It was far out on the night now, and day hours would perhaps not be far away now, so he considered moving the emerald downstairs.

"Calm Night…" he muttered to himself before walking over and gently placed his hand upon the emerald. "Always great to have a night of peace." He said smiling. Though then his senses heightened as he heard the flapping of wings. This was the same song he had been through a million times now, and he turned around calling out into the darkness. "Alright Rouge! I know you are here! So come out and try to steal the Emerald Fair and Square instead of hiding!" he called out and held his hands up in a fighting stance. A small but very womanly giggle could be heard before Rouge walked out from behind one of the pillars in her usual attire. She leaned up the pillar and placed one hand on her hip, and the other upon the pillar itself.

"Come now Knuckie… Is it not a little mean to assume I would steal your precious, gorgeous, humongous gem?" she asked, purposely putting weight upon precious and gorgeous simply to tease Knuckles. He simply scoffed and replied.

"If it's still safe to assume that birds are something that flies, then it is safe to assume that you are here to steal the master Emerald." He said rather degradingly. But then Rouge just wagged her finger at him and casually strolled towards him.

"Ah, but Chickens are birds and they do not fly, Little Knuckie…" she said smirking, she returning to her usual flirting posture as she now stood right in front of the Echidna. "And besides…" She said one of her hands going upon her chest, drawing quite a bit of focus upon her large chest. "I have another quest this fine night…" She said licking her lips slightly. Knuckles, without thinking, lowered his guard and felt his heart-rate increase. Damn it, why was that bat always so sneaky? No, this would have to be a ruse to get the emerald! He convinced himself, shaking his head.

"And what might that be if it is not to take what is rightfully mine?" he questioned rudely, crossing his arms. Rouge just stepped forwards again, closing the distance between the two and looked deeply into the Echidna´s eyes before smirking and saying the words.

"Dragon Slaying…" she then suddenly pounced the red Echidna and pinned him against the ground. Knuckles resisted at first, but stopped and flustered when he realized that Rouge was only an inch away from his face, and she was not moving from him. She was not pushing him down to steal the emerald?

Rouge just grinned. "And I won't accept defeat." She said before suddenly, sealing their lips together in a deep and passionate kiss.

Back to Present day:

Knuckles scratched the back of his head a moment. This… was quite the development. He had not expected Rouge to make a move on him yesterday. But even less had he expected himself to… Like it…

He had noticed her advances before, but he had always considered them just to be her flirty attitude. Though he felt the way his heart was beating now, and sighed. Knuckles might not be the sharpest tool in the box, but he was smart enough to know what it was.

'Chaos… This is going to take some getting used to…' he thought before turning around in the bed, still the communicator in hand and attempted to wake Rouge.

"Rouge… Rouge… Someone is calling you…" he lowly said as the white bat yawned and slowly began to awaken. Her azure blue eyes began peeking out from beneath her eyelids and she beheld the face of that red Echidna she had just conquered the day before. A small smirk formed on her lips and she pushed the communicator out of the way.

"Let it ring… I have something more interesting going on here." She said before rolling around, so she was sitting on top of the red Echidna smirking at him again. If Knuckles weren't already red, then he would have blushed quite a bit, but since he was red, it more ended up with becoming some color of purple on his cheeks, but he did not resist. He reached over his hand and let the device land on the table next to the bed and reached his arms around Rouge, this time taking the offensive and sealed the lips of the two. Knuckles could feel himself melt away as he and Rouge was kissing, and he increased its intensity by letting his tongue sneak inside Rouge´s mouth. The Bat knew what he was doing and played along, simply complying to the heat. She felt so alive again, there was no more frustration, no more confusion, it was just as she wanted it.

The Beeping from the device would not let up though. And a small lamp labeled "Important" was blinking on it, though the two did not notice at all. They were too entranced by each other.

At Tail´s workshop:

Everyone except Knuckles and Rouge was gathered there, and by everyone that included Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, Shadow and Blitz. Sonic and Amy had not been able to look at each other properly while they were there. Amy was still not calm and Sonic had still not been able to find his words, but everyone was now in the living room of the workshop. Tails was kind of sitting in the middle, Looking down at his feet, this was an extremely embarrassing situation for him. Shadow was simply standing up with his arms crossed, and Blitz had taken one of the chairs which could spin around on the spot. In the meantime that people had arrived, she had kind of distracted herself with the chair, Trying to keep focus on the usual, and not the fact that her little LeeLinn was in grave danger. Cream was standing supporting behind Tails, holding his hand while both She and Tails was receiving one of Shadow´s usual scowls, and Amy was just sitting on the couch. She was the first to say anything.

"Uhm… Now that we are all here, Would you care to tell us why you called us all here Shadow?" she asked, looking over at the Ebony Hedgehog. He tried one last time to call up Rouge, but no reply. He scoffed a moment and then sent his eyes over to Tails.

"I believe Tails has a few things to tell us about LL." He said firmly, looking at Tails like a disappointed father would to his offspring who just broke a plate. Everyone´s eyes ended up resting upon the Young twin tailed fox who was fiddling a bit with some of his fur, Now him being the wordless one.

"I…I… Promised LL I would not say this…" he lowly muttered, causing Sonic to raise an inquisitive eyebrow.

"Say what Tails?" he asked, crossing his arms. His thoughts had not been upon LL or his suspected affiliations before this point, and he began rethinking that perhaps Tails had always known who LL worked for, but those thoughts disappeared like rain in a volcanic eruption when Tails finally uttered the words.

"LL is dying… He got the Mellitus…"

Silence fell onto the room, and each had a different reaction. Cream gasped and looked at Tails in surprise. Amy simply stared upon Tails, not believing him at first, but then leaned back in the couch. Could it be true?

Sonic stopped crossing his arms and a completely different image of LL came upon his mind. Was the dude sick? How on earth could this be? Shadow however shook his head.

"That is impossible…" he said firmly, gaining everyone´s attention. "Mellitus does not affect Mobians, and even if it did, then without medical attention, he would not have been able to survive for three years, since the Mellitus Incident." He slowly stated. He concluded for himself that Tails was lying, but then Blitz rose up from the chair.

"He got medical attention!" she stated, placing her hands upon her hips, now everyone's eyes going to her. "Our family knew he got sick, so he got sent to the doctors to get fixed! Then those EGG guys said they would fix my little LeeLinn… But then they came to me and told me he had Died!" She said, even though she didn't really want to remember that. "That was three years ago, and then I got contacted less than a week before now, by some EGG executive, saying that he had information about LeeLinn." She told the group, remembering how ecstatic she was herself hearing any information about her little brother. Tails however looked more surprised than the rest of the group.

"Someone at EGG told you about LL?" he questioned. Blitz simply nodded in reply.

"His name was Flitch I believe… He told me that LL apparently had run away from the doctors three years ago with some of the experimental drugs they would use to cure the patients, though it was short use, so he would run out very soo-"

"That's a Lie!" Tails exclaimed firmly, clenching his fist. Blitz looked a bit offended.

"I'm not Lying!" she defended herself with, but Tails retorted.

"Not you! That Flitch man, he is lying! LL did not just run away, he escaped! And that was last year!" Tails raised his voice, this subject being one that could anger him easily. Blitz looked in amazement at Tails.

"But… Why would they lie to me?" she questioned. The others in the group nodded a bit at each other and Amy raised her voice.

"It's true Tails, Why would EGG lie about one of the people they treated?" She asked. Tails simply clenched his fist further, and Cream gently walked up behind him, trying to support him out of his lesser fury. He then just looked up at the group.

"Why do you think they would lie about a person that they kept prisoner for two years straight?" he stated as a dark fact and Blitz gasped.

"Y-y-y-yyou mean… My Little LeeLinn… Did not STAY away… but… was a prisoner?" she questioned, her voice quivering slightly. Tails simply nodded.

That nod was all that Blitz needed. Like a demon from hell she simply grabbed around the chair she sat on before and swung it over her head, Smashing it into the ground in a fit of Rage. Cream let out an 'eep' and hid behind Tails, who was obviously shielding her. Amy crawled a bit backwards on the couch to get away from the pieces of broken chair, and Sonic simply stood amazed though quite taken aback. It almost looked like someone had released a demon and It had instantly possessed the golden yellow hedgehog. Blitz reached for something else to smash, but she felt someone grab around her wrist and noticed it was Shadow.

"Let go of me Stripes!" She hissed. "I am going to level that corporation with the ground, Brick by brick and use their Skulls as my maces!" she yelled out, fury pouring out of her as she was conflicted by so many emotions. Not only had she lost her brother to a Sickness, she had also LET him be captured for several years while she was walking around in Blissful ignorance. Shadow´s firm grip and stern eyes remained though.

"Calm yourself Blitz… You won't do any good if you just go on a rampage and attack the building head on. And it most likely is not there he is being held… Nor are we sure that EGG has anything to do with this…" she slowly stated, but Tails snapped at him.

"I just told you EGG are behind this-"

"Yes you did… but LL has just been kidnapped by Eggman, not the EGG." Shadow said, his voice completely calm. "If you are going to make me believe that EGG is involved in this, I will need some very convincing evidence…" Shadow said, still holding on to Blitz to keep her from ruining any more furniture. "Even your claim that he would have escaped, while at the same time being ill is most unlikely-"

"I helped him Escape Shadow, Cant that be enough evidence for you!" Tails asked aggressively. This finally caught Sonic´s attention.

"Hey, buddy… you didn't say before that you helped him…" He said walking closer to the young fox. Tails felt very small in this group of big people. Even though they were all his friends, he was now, in theory, selling out another friend. He sighed and nodded.

"I didn't say it before because of another promise…" he said, himself unconsciously holding Cream´s hand tighter to gather up strength. "After I had helped him escape, LL made me promise never to mention anything of the incident… He said he didn't want to remember it, nor did he want for me to get involved…" Tails said, his voice getting lower and lower due to the guilt of breaking his promise. A sigh could be heard coming from Shadow as he just looked out on the group.

"Ok Everyone, Sit down" he then turned to Tails. "No more off hand explanations… I want to know the incident in Detail. Don't leave anything out." He said before sitting down on the couch next to Amy. Blitz had calmed herself slightly and followed along. She however sat next to Shadow, but placed one of her legs over Shadow´s, their thighs touching each other and had that same smirk as LL on. Sonic walked over and at first wanted to sit down next to blitz, but there was no more space in the Couch. He then turned his eyes over to Amy, who averted her eyes slightly, focusing them more upon Tails. She was worried, but Sonic was always an easy distraction. Sonic mentally sighed, and sat down next to Amy. The two was so close, and he had never focused that much on their closeness before. Was it because she had thrown him out? He tried to shake the thought, but his heart was finally pounding firmly FOR her. He knew it was because of her, it was her who made him feel this way, but… She had thrown him out…

Finally when everyone had sat down and it was only Tails and Cream standing in front of the couch, Tails swallowed his own spit and raised his voice.

"Ok then, It all started…"

About a Year ago:

A certain twin tailed Kitsune was testing off his new plane, flying over a seemingly uncharted part of the Jungle zone. He thought that was impossible, but as he looked down, he could not recognize anything at all. He was alone in his plane. He needed the solitude sometimes, it helped him cope with certain aspects of him, he would rather not show to sonic, or the others. As the lone fox looked down upon the Jungle, there was one thing that he continuously found disturbing. "It seems like there is some kind of… Wireing…" he thought out loud. He had a small scanner in the plane, though it was not so thorough, since it only was supposed to show a draft picture of the area, and it clearly showed there was some kind of current, or path that was going in a square area. It was not big, but it clearly was of substantial enough size to hide something. "Perhaps Egghead is up to something… I better check it out…" he thought, before he pushed the plane more downwards. Tails could clearly now see that it was some sort of facility his scanners had caught. There were big electric fences, though neatly attempted to glide into the background of the jungle. The young fox could count a few buildings, but one thing also caught him. A message came over his radio.

"Unidentified aircraft, you are in violation of restricted airspace, You are ordered to land your Plane, or we will use force to bring it down, you Will comply, Over!" a voice said through the static of the radio.

Tails looked with big eyes upon his Radio. Had they just said they would shoot him down? He pressed his finger upon the button for a return message. "This is Miles Prower, flying The 'Tornado-X3', my ship is registered and legalized within the G.U.N Database, and I have every right to fly here as anyone else has. By What authority do you wish to bring me down?"

He let his finger release the button and waited for the answer.

"You are in violation of restricted Airspace, This is your Last Warning, You will land your Plane, or we will use force to bring you down!"

Tails looked out his cockpit. This was not helping his confidence any. It seemed that the small complex had a substantial amount of personnel. Sadly he could not see what they were wearing, or if they were armed. He had been circling around the complex during the entire radio conversation. But this was the point he decided that Legging it would be the more effective strategy. He called back on the Radio.

"This is Miles Prower, flying The 'Tornado-X3', I Understand that this is restricted airspace and I will leave the premises immediately." He said before pulling the controls to send the plane in a direction of home. If they wanted their airspace private, they may have it like that. "Perhaps I should Ask Shadow about it though… It does seem a bit stra-" he was interrupted as suddenly alarms sounded in his control panel. 'Projectile Incoming!' It repeated over and over again. Tails immediately pulled the controls to the side, making the Tornado Spin around in a corkscrew, hoping to dodge the projectiles. He was just able to see some lesser Military RPG rounds pass just inches away from his wings and fly off into the air. "Holy Butterball!" he exclaimed before looking out the tornado again. There were two more projectiles incoming. But only these, Were closer. By the time he pulled the controls, one of them had already hit his wing. The plane spun out of control and was aiming towards the ground with an incredible speed. "MAYDAY! MAYDAY!" he yelled into the radio, pressing all the controls wildly, hoping to get a distress signal out.

The jungle ground simply came closer and closer and closer before Tails´s eyes. A sheer feeling of panic was filled in his system. All safeties had set out; even his jet seat was jammed. Nothing would save him. In one last moment before he hit the ground, he let out a desperate cry of help. "Soniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic!"

And Everythingwentblack.

Slowly, the blackness was broken by Tails´s eyelids as he woke again, realizing that he was still sitting in his cockpit, Tails then looked back and concluded, Or what was left of the cockpit. The entire plane had been ripped in two due to the great pressure of the crash, and it seems this half was WAY further away than the other half. Tails unstrapped the safety belt and got out of the cockpit. His head was pounding slightly as the memory of crashing was still fresh in his mind, Luckily the young fox had always thought of safety as an important part of his inventions, so he was unharmed, though a bit dizzy. The twin tailed kitsune looked confused around. He knew where he was… In the world, but his sense of direction was completely off at the moment. He had nothing to guide from.

"Ok Tails… Calm down… When you are lost, first thing to do is… Find north." He calmly said to himself and looked around. A sigh escaped his lips. 'Easier said than done…' he thought but began twirling his tails around in a propeller motion. As he increased the speed of his namesakes, he was slowly lifted from the ground and began to float at a reasonable altitude. He increased the speed slightly and got more into an overview of the area, being just above the trees. He scouted around, for now though, only seeing jungle upon jungle upon jungle upon jungle. 'Well, This is troublesome' he thought, but then got an idea. 'The tornado!'

The young fox descended again and landed besides the cockpit, looking inside to see what he had. He had specially modified the plane to both make the communicator and the controls in the same handheld device. A smile grew across his lips, relieved at how convenient he was. All he would have to do was to unhook this thing and-

"I Think I found the Crash!" a voice yelled out. Tails panicked and spun his namesakes wildly, quickly going up to hide behind a tree up in its top branches. He firmly pressed himself against the tree and looked down upon his plane, seeing several humans coming out of the jungle undergrowth. They all seemed heavily armed and had some natural camouflage in form of green clothes. It almost looked like a small private Army unit, seeing how thorough they were with checking the surroundings of the Plane. Thank Chaos that they didn't check all the tree tops as well. It was not really possible for Tails to tell the difference between each single soldier from atop the trees, but he was able to get that the man, standing in the background with his arms crossed, must have been a commander of some sort. The soldiers checked everywhere to see if they could find the pilot, but everyone came back with a Negative report. Frustrated, the Commander made a wild gesture and yelled at his men.

"Tear this jungle apart if you have to! Just find me that Pilot!" he said before turning his head to a smaller group of people. He pointed towards them. "You! Take this part of the plane back to the facility; make sure to take everything along!"

"Yes sir!" they simply complied and began working on the task. The commander then swung his hand around.

"The rest of you are with me. Back to the Facility!" he yelled at his men before just walking ahead in a direction. A few soldiers followed along, while the rest did their tasks. Though this did not help the yellow fox any. He was completely helpless and simply looked upon the horror of seeing his beloved Tornado being torn apart for easy carrying. He clenched his fists and wanted to hit the baddies, but he could not defeat soldiers. His eyes however darted towards the direction of the commander, and thought about a few things.

'If they are taking my Tornado along to that Facility, my communicator might be there. I don't want to sneak into some heavily fortified facility, but it seems to be the only way.' He frowned. This was not good, but necessary. He once again spun his namesakes and began to fly after the commander, keeping to the treetops and hid behind branches and leaves.

The view that appeared in front of the young fox was beyond surprising. The facility seemed much larger now that he was on the ground, and it clearly had very tight security. Guard towers littered around the facility, more places than just the corners, and it was all made to look as inconspicuous as possible, yet at the same time being almost a form of Alcatraz. It was all fenced in, there were warning signs saying 'Electric current, don't touch' everywhere on the metal. Though Tails was in luck in one aspect, many of the soldiers seemed to be out and looking for him in the Jungle, thus leaving the base less protected and less observed. Tails spun his namesakes and quickly flew into the base, hiding behind a few shipping crates. Inside there were a few upstairs buildings, one of them seeming to be a form of hangar, while the others looked insignificant. The young fox pressed himself up against the box in hiding as he heard the feet of soldiers getting closer. Tails was not able to see how they looked like, but he was able to hear their bickering.

"Why do I always get surface guard duty? The base down below is much more interesting!" he exclaimed in frustration.

"Oh just be happy to have a job at all! In these times they outsource jobs to Mobians every day, most of them are able to do the same as five humans…" the other just sighed and said just as they passed the box that Tails was hiding behind. They continued, not seeing the fox at all, but continued their bickering.

"Well they won't be that useful if the lab-coats can figure out the key can they?" he said laughing, though it seemed a bit dark. The other guard sighed.

"You Never change…"

They were now out of earshot, but this had sparked the young Fox´s curiosity. 'Figure out the key'? What did they mean?

Tails peeked out from behind the crates to get himself a bit of a better view of the area, though there were guards quite a few places. He would not be able to escape his hiding spot in many angles. He then noticed one thing though, a Ventilation shaft. The young fox quickly and silently sprinted over to the shaft and was able to wrestle the grill off the opening; however it made a horribly loud sound. Tails quickly crawled inside and placed the grill back over the hole, hoping that no one would notice. Moments later he could hear people running in his direction and he heard voices outside the shaft.

"I'm sure it came from here, Sir!" Tails then recognized the voice replying.

"It has got to be him… Search the area! We can't let him get away!" the commander called out at his subordinates.

A feeling of slight relief washed over Tails as he realized they had not seen him inside the vent, or searched it at all. He was safe for the time being. He then turned around and noticed that, strangely enough, the vent did not go upwards, but downwards. It was no trouble for Tails to navigate his way down the vertical Ventilation shaft since he was a fox, and slowly crawled through as silently as possible. On his way there were a few grates where he could look out of the vent, but each time he just saw rooms with no one in them. There were lots of storage, and a lot of places that clearly looked like biology labs. However nothing was THAT noteworthy. All of this could be founded by any normal company who wanted to work within science. The turning point however, came when Tails began hearing voices at the end of the vent. He crawled closer and heard what showed itself to be two doctors bickering with each other, it sounded like they were troubled about an amount of medication.

"Daniel, you are an absolute nut-job if you believe the subject would survive that large an amount of the serum." One of the voices said. The other huffed.

"The subject have shown to be of quite a sturdy constitution, I believe that he would be able to stand the duple amount with no trouble." The second voice retorted.

Tails finally reached the end of the vault and was able to look out through a grate and saw the inside of the room. It looked like an operating room where two men in White lab-coats were standing and bickering with each other. One of them was an older doctor with a small amount of shaking of his hands due to his age, With gray hair and a small pair of spectacles. Meanwhile the other was a younger doctor with short blonde hair. Neither of them had anything noteworthy about their clothes, it was just a pair of lab-coats with the necessary items to perform some usual checkups upon a biological experiment. The older man moved a bit at his spectacles and said in a rather grumpy voice.

"I will not let you give the Subject and Overdose, he is already ruined enough as it is…" he said looking down onto his clipboard. The other doctor huffed again.

"Cramer, You almost sound like you are sympathetic for the subject… And if you are, why are you on this project then?" he asked, while raising an eyebrow and crossed his arms. The older doctor simply sighed.

"One can still have sympathy for ones enemies…" the older doctor said before placing his clipboard down.

'Enemies? What does he mean by that?' Tails questioned mentally but continued to Listen. The younger doctor then just sighed.

"Ok then, we will just give him half of the increased amount…" he sullenly said and went over to a cupboard, opening it only to bring out a small medical flask and some onetime use syringes onto the table. The older doctor smiled, looking at the younger one, while he seemingly got ready to load up the medication.

"You are a good boy Daniel, I am sure you will do something great in your life…" he said before walking over to the wall, pressing a button near a small screen, bringing up a picture of another person.

"Bring down the subject to Ward two."

"Yes Sir!" the screen replied and shut off again. The older doctor walked over to the storage compartments and brought out a few things, seemingly surgical equipment. Tails felt a strange feeling in his gut. Whatever he was about to witness, could not be good, he just knew that. After a few minutes of preparation from the Doctors side, the door opened up, and a guard pushed a rolling table inside, however there was someone upon that table. Tails eyes widened as he noticed it was a Male Mobian, A hedgehog to be precise. He was golden yellow in his fur, and a lot of his quills had been cut off, presumably for medicinal reasons. He was not dressed at all, and he was completely strapped down to the table, straps placed around his wrists, ankles, chest and throat. Beyond that, He had a blindfold over his eyes and a form of ball was strapped into his mouth, presumably to prevent him from biting anyone or himself. But this was a horrifying sight for the young Fox. The table was placed in the middle of the room and small groans could be heard from the hedgehog strapped to the table. He was sweating intensely and his breathing was rather irregular, and it didn't seem to be because of the gag. The younger Doctor, as referred to as Daniel, turned around, the syringe in his hand, it being filled to the brim with the liquid from the small flask he had brought out earlier He calmly walked over to the table with the hedgehog on it, and calmly began washing off the hedgehog´s left inner elbow. Tails noticed that it was completely blue and seemed to have been through this process many times before. Daniel then lifted up the Syringe again and was just about to push it into the Hedgehog, when the older doctor interrupted him.

"Wait, Protocol…" He simply reminded him. Daniel sighed.

"You ALWAYS want do go through protocol…" he said, rather annoyed but smiled. The older doctor simply chuckled.

"Can you blame me? Do you want to stand in front of the Board and say we got no results because we could not be arsed to follow protocol?" he asked, his language perhaps a bit blunt but he was chuckling, and so was Daniel.

"Ok ok then gramps; let's go through it all again." He said, placing down the syringe on the table besides him and picked up his clipboard and got out a pen. "Ok then, Heart rate?" he asked. The older doctor quickly and efficiently hooked the young Hedgehog up to a heart rate monitor, and they looked at the screen. Tails heard the amount of beeps from the monitor and the large swings of the line and knew, this was not good at all. The doctors let the machine calculate for a few minutes and then turned to each other.

"Increased by about 150%" the older doctor concluded and both of them wrote it down on the clipboard. He then looked up at Daniel. "Temperature?"

A few moments passed with Daniel getting a thermometer, and checked it on the poor hedgehog.

"40.1 degree, dangerous levels…" he said, and both doctors noted it down. "Other Noticeable symptoms?"

"Visible Shaking, Occasional violent cough´s, intensive sweating, in the worst case seizures." The older doctor calmly stated and both wrote it down again. Daniel then finally put the clipboard down and looked over at the older doctor.

"Well then, Should we give him the dose? I don't believe he is much worth to the EGG dead…" he said before picking up the syringe again. The older doctor simply gave a nod.

"Yes, begin gi-"

"Hold it right there!"

Both doctors turned to see the communicator screen on the wall was turned on again, and the face of a blonde man with long hair had appeared on the screen. Both doctors inclined their heads respectfully.

"Sir, we did not expect you to contact us during an examination…" the older doctor said, still standing respectfully. However the man on the screen continued.

"No need to incline your heads, I am intruding on your workplace after all, I will however, report to you about the new plan with the subject." He said, before bringing up some papers and looked through them a moment. "It says here that you have been able to locate almost every detail about the Gamma Mellitus with the help of the suspect, but you will need a lot more time to work on him." He said looking back up at the doctors. "How much is a lot more time?" he asked firmly, this man clearly being a man of business. Daniel lifted up his head slightly and swallowed his spit.

"Uhm… Two more years… At least with these methods-"

"Hush boy" the older doctor said back at Daniel, however the man on the screen had noticed this.

"Mister Carson… what were you about to say?" the screen asked. Daniel´s last name was apparently Carson. He stepped forwards.

"Well Sir… It seems that the Mellitus has dug itself quite deep in the subject, And I believe that if we were to look deeper inside the subject, say via surgical methods, we might be able to find the specific source of the sickness, and its spread." Daniel said without any hint of shame or horror in his voice. The older doctor however shook his head.

"No, We can't do it… It is too risky, it is a delicate procedure, there is a 70% chance that the subject will die-"

"Go ahead."

"Pardon!" the older doctor looked surprised at the Screen. The man on the screen simply inclined his head.
