-Midnight P.O.V.-

I was thrown into a small cage and moan in pain.

"Stop!" I shouted.

A SWATbot punched me into the cage and I cried out in pain. The cage was locked and was picked up. I looked at Sky as I was picked up. I moan in pain. It was so tight. I also think my rip has been broken. I sighed. Why was this happening to me? I was then thrown into a room and I looked back. Then I heard footsteps. I looked around till I saw Robotnik.

"And how is my little pet today?" Robotnik asked.

I looked away.

"Don't call me that." I told him.

I heard Robotnik chuckled. I looked at him and sighed.

"Let me out of this damn thing!" I yelled.

"I don't think so." Robotnik said, walking over and kicked the cage.

I moaned in pain.

"Don't worry, it won't be for long anyway. Just have a few things to set up for your… new room." Robotnik explained smiling.

I sighed.

"You are a monster!" I shouted, I didn't know what else to do.

Robotnik started laughing and I sighed.

"Also remember one thing Midnight." Robotnik said as he started to walk away. "I am your only resource of food and water so if I were you, I would play nice." Robotnik told me.

I looked at him shock as he walked out. He's going… I'm going to die here. I started crying. I wanted Manic. I wanted to be free.

-Manic P.O.V.-

I wake up panting, covered in swat. A nightmare. I sat up and sighed. I can't shake that dream. It felt so real. I looked my hand and sighed as I closed my eyes and remembered the dream.

Nightmare

I was running into darkness and running from something with glowing red eyes. I don't know what it was, but all I know is I have to keep moving. I then stop and saw the thing is gone and smile. Then I heard a scream. I know that scream too well. It was Midnight.

"Midnight" I said softly.

I ran towards the scream and saw Midnight standing in front of me. She has a metal poll running straight through her with blood pouring out. She also has blood sliding out of her mouth, nose, ears and eyes. She was just staring at me. Her yellow eyes are clouded. Like a dead fish.

"You left me. You never came looking for me. I thought you loved me. I thought you cared." Midnight said, her voice sounded cold and empty.

There was no emotion in it.

"I do love you, you're my world." I told her.

"You say you do, but look what Robotnik did to me. Why didn't you come to me when I called for you?" Midnight asked.

"I'm sorry." I whisper.

I walked over to her, holding my hand out.

"No you're not. You left me. I gave you my heart and you took me for granted." Midnight said.

I looked at her shock.

"What no, I love you." I told her.

"Really, look at me." Midnight told me.

I looked her shock.

"I am." I whispered.

"Then where were you when I needed a hero. When I needed you." Midnight then said. "You left me for dead and now I am leaving you." Midnight told me.

Then a hole appeared under her and she fell. I dropped to my knees.

"Midnight!" I cried.

I then slipped and started falling.

End of nightmare

I sighed as I sat up and sighed as I open my eyes. I don't know what to do. I have to find her, but where do I start searching. I sighed. I hope Cyrus has an answers. Then Sonic walked in and I sighed.

"Come on Manic." Sonic said.

I got up. We walked out and I sighed.

"Are you okay Manic?" Sonic asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm just tired." I replied.

Sonic nodded.

"Yeah, I know the feeling." Sonic said.

I looked at him worried.

"Come on. Cyrus found a base east. Could have some clues for us on where Midnight has been taken too." Sonic explained.

"Good." I said.

I saw Cyrus with Sonia and Chloe. We walked over and I take a deep breath.

"Okay, this base it huge and looks like it is where Robotnik is building his SWATbots. We need in, get any information we can and destroy the place." Cyrus explains.

"This looks tricky." Sonia said.

I sighed. It did. I have seen a base like this before though.

"There should be an air vent to the east we can use." I said.

Cyrus nodded as he pointed to it.

"It is here. You will use this to get in." Cyrus told us.

"Manic, how did you know?" Sonic asked.

"A few years back, Midnight and I took a base like this. It was to the west." I explained.

"That was you guys." Cyrus said shock. "We have been trying to find out who did that since we found out." Cyrus admitted.

"I can also safely assume this one will be heavily guarded like that last." I said.

Cyrus nodded.

"Yeah so be careful." Cyrus told us.

"Okay then, I'll get the explosives." Sonic said walking off.

I stared at the blueprint, this was going to be hard. I will need to borrow Midnight's swords for this mission for sure. I looked at Sonia who looks at me worried.

"How did you get out?" Sonia asked.

"Fighting." I replied.

"I see." Sonia said, rubbing her medallion.

I sighed. I haven't touched my medallion since I got it back. I spent three years without it. I don't need it anymore.

"Why did you leave your medallion behind?" Sonia asked.

"When Midnight saved me, I was heading to the roboticizer. We just ran. I didn't even realise it was gone till it was too late. I heard the base explode." I explained.

Sonia sighed.

"I got so use to not having it, it feels weird having it back." I admitted.

Sonia looked at me.

"Besides, compare to you and Sonic, I was the weaker one in the team." I added.

"Don't say that." Sonia told me and I sighed.

"It's the truth Sonia, you know it. I was the weaker one." I told her, then smiled. "But I have these swords now." I said as I looked at the map and Sonia sighed.

Sonic then walks back and Chloe walked next to me.

"Okay, is everyone ready?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah." Sonia replied as she walked off.

Sonic followed.

"Be careful, please." Chloe pleaded.

I nodded.

"I will be. You just stay here with Cyrus." I told her.

Chloe nodded. I walked off to the van to see Sonic waiting.

"Is everything okay?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, let's go." I replied as I got in and Sonic followed.

We sat down and head off. I sighed. I hope wherever Midnight is, she's okay.
