"It's Knuckles." Shadow sighed in relief, glad to know that they saved someone worth saving. Silver's arm would not be in vain.
Silver is holding back tears when Sonic waved at him to come over to him. Silver did as he was ordered to, facing his back towards him when Sonic made the motion of pushing two things together with his hands.
Silver thought about the seconds leading up to the dislocation. He was pushed onto the ground, laying on his stomach. Sonic grabbed his arm with both hands and tugged hard. "He didn't hesitate. Not for even a second." Silver thought to himself as Sonic placed his hands on his shoulder again. And just like that, he popped Silver's arm back in place.
"Sonic." Silver called, just as Sonic passed by him to check up on Knuckles. "Have you done this before?"
"No." Sonic answered calmly as if he expected this question. "Have you?"
"No, of course not. I'm asking this because-" Silver was cut off by Knuckles' scream. The guardian sat up with a bolt, screaming as loudly as he possibly could.
"Wha-Y'all are alive?" He asked, confused. So was everyone else at this question though.
"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't we be?" Shadow demanded, shaking Knuckles' shoulders. "Do you know something?"
Knuckles looked dazed for a second before the light coming into his eyes again. He shook his head and observed his surroundings. "Where are we?"
Shadow groaned, letting go of him. "I thought you knew something for a second there…" He crossed his arms and faced away from the echidna.
"We're stuck in this place where a voice tells us what to do or we get shocked." Silver explained, helping Knuckles up despite his own arm feeling awful.
"What are these?" Knuckles pointed to his collar, tugging on them.
"That's how we get shocked. Presumably. I tried, it doesn't come off." Sonic answered bluntly.
"Well, how long are we going to have to deal with this nonsense?" Silver complained, gripping his arm with his non injured side to relieve some of the pain. "Cause I don't want to do this anymore."
Sonic sighed, and Knuckles looked at his friends for a second before asking, "Are there others here?"
Tails and Amy walked in silence. Amy had the dead Chao still in her arms, hugging it close to her chest. She glanced over at the fox next to her, noticing the blood all over his chest.
"Are you okay, Tails?" It was a dumb question since he had been bleeding from every hole in his body just a couple of minutes ago, so of course he wasn't okay.
"I'm perfectly fine, Amy. Don't worry about it!" Tails smiled, waving his hands around to reassure her.
Amy stayed silent. She looked down at the Chao again, and this time she couldn't help but tear up around the edge of her eyes a little bit.
"Amy?"
"Hm?"
"We'll give it a proper burial...after we get out."
"...yeah."
Tails and Amy arrived at a door at the end of the hallway. Inside, they were greeted by their dear friends.
"Tails! Amy!" Silver cried out, noticing the two first.
"Are you two alright? You-Tails! You have blood all over you!" Knuckles pointed out, approaching the fox cautiously.
"I'm fine, really. It's no big deal." Tails really didn't want to say this again. He was fine. At least...he thought he was.
"Amy? What are you…" Shadow noticed the dead Chao in her arms and almost said something, but was just met with a glare from Amy.
"It's nothing." She hugged it tighter, glancing over to see Sonic. "Hey, Sonic…"
Before Sonic could respond, however, the voice from above gave out a big buzzing noise. Alongside it, a revolver dropped from the ceiling.
"Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Miles Prower, and Amy Rose. Perform an entire Russian Roulette within the next 90 minutes. If you are to refuse, a level 30 shock will be applied to everyone."
