Well here you people go, Dark Shadows: Chapter 2. As usual please read and
review.
********************************************************************
The gorilla reared back and punched. It wasn't even close to landing as Sonic flipped backwards.
"It's time to speed, butthead!" yelled Sonic as he began to run circles around the ape. Howling in frustration the gorilla began to pound the ground with everything it had. It didn't help, he still couldn't even touch Sonic. Stopping suddenly, Sonic leaped backwards, pushed off the wall and did a spin attack, hitting the big monkey in the head. Slowly the ape teetered and fell.
Sonic walked towards it and grabbed it's head. "Now buddy boy, why the hell did you do this?" he screamed into it's face.
It laughed at him, "You won't get any answers from me." A buzzing sound began to fill the air. "No! Master, please! I did everything you wanted!" The gorilla screamed, as a yellow light engulfed him. Sonic had to shield his eyes. The light was too bright. When it disappeared, there was nothing left of the ape but a pile of ashes.
Sonic went to Tails and picked him up again and took him to his room. "Sonic, I…" Tails began.
"Ssshhhh, little buddy, it's all right just sleep right now. I'll be right here. Just sleep."
********************************
The next mourning……..
Sonic was sitting on Tails bed as the fox awoke. "Feeling better?" Sonic asked him.
"I sure am, Sonic."
"Wanna tell me what happened?" Sonic asked.
"Well I was working on the Tornado, when I heard the door open. I thought it was you, 'cause you were stopping bye. There was this laugh and I turn around and there was that gorilla guy. I tried to fight him Sonic, I tried to." He drooped his head as he finished.
Looking Tails in the eye Sonic said, "Hey, I know ya did! I just wish I knew where that big ape came from."
There was a knock at the door. They both jumped. "You stay there Tails, I'll go to see who that is."
Creeping towards the door Sonic asked, "Who's there?"
There came a faint moaning from the other side of the door. Carefully Sonic opened the door. Knuckles collapsed on the floor.
"Knuckles?!" Sonic exclaimed. "What the hell happened to you?"
"Ambushed…by…something…didn't…see…who…it…was…" Knuckles managed.
"Hey, Tails come out here. I need some help with Knuckles."
Diligently the young fox came out of his room and ran down the hall. They bent down and carried Knuckles over to the living room sofa. Tails went to fetch an ice pack as Sonic bandaged Knuckles' wounds.
"Just rest a bit Knuckles," Sonic said, "I gotta talk with Tails."
Taking Tails with him, Sonic went back to the shop. Tails sat on a stool and Sonic leaned against the wall.
"What are you thinking about Sonic?" Tails asked.
"I'm tryin' to figure out who it was that attacked you and Knuckles."
"Do you think it's Eggman?"
"No, the ape said it wasn't."
"Then who?" Tails asked.
"I don't really know. Let's let Knuckles what rest for an hour or so and then see if he has any new info for us."
"Okay."
They went back out into the living room and sat there looking at Knuckles.
"Hey there boys." The voice came from behind them. Tails jumped and Sonic whirled around.
"Hey, Rouge I never thought we'd see you again! What's up?" Sonic said grinning.
"This isn't a social call." Rouge said as she came in and strode over to Tails' computer.
"Then what is it?" Tails piped in.
"It's about this." She held up a small disk.
"And what's that?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms.
"It's a recording of a certain gathering that you both might find interesting." She popped it into the computer and hit play.
The video soon became focused. Am elderly man was standing at a podium, with a large group of people before him. Rouge paused it.
"This is Dr. Phillip Edwards." She said.
"And who is he?" Sonic asked.
"According to my reports he's the world's foremost expert on genetics and cybernetics."
"Why should we care?" Sonic replied.
"Just watch it and find out!" she hissed and hit play again.
Edwards banged a gavel against the podium. "I now call this meeting of the Human Defense League to order. Now that the pleasantries are dealt with, I shall begin why we are gathered here today. Sonic the Hedgehog! That disgusting abomination against nature!"
"What?!" Sonic yelled as he got to his feet.
"Sonic, be quite and listen!" Rouge yelled back at him.
"You all will agree with me that all those so called furries are a sin against nature," Edwards continued, "But this Sonic is the worst of the bunch. Humans are calling it a hero! I find this so sickening! It must be destroyed! To that end I have built this!" He hit a button on a remote control and the wall behind hi slid open revealing a large machine. "This is my ultimate creation!" Edwards explained, "It will force any of those God awful furries to do my bidding. To destroy each other!" He looked out over the crowed. "Alas I see that you all do not believe me, a demonstration is in order. Number thirteen seventy-nine bring the test subject out!"
A large ape entered from the right dragging a screaming cat girl out with him. The girl looked no more then thirteen.
"That's the big ape that attacked Tails!" Sonic exclaimed.
"What's he doing with that girl?" Tails asked.
The ape hit a button and a tube rose from the floor. He threw the girl inside. Edwards hit another button on his remote control and a tube came out and sealed itself around the girl's mouth. The tube then began to fill with a greenish liquid, the girl pounded against the sides of the glass to no avail. Mechanical arms grabbed her limbs, holding her still.
"This is the good part." Said Dr. Edwards.
A large needle appeared and slowly came down on the girl.
"The syringe contains another of my brilliant inventions. It is a small device that will give the subjects a very painful electric shock. It doesn't steal the victim's free will. That's the beauty of it! The victim will be forced to follow my orders or die! As it also contains a self destruct command that I can activate anytime I please!" He broke out into maniacal laughter as the needle plunged into the girl's chest.
Rouge stopped the video, "That's who we are up against."
Tails sat there in shock. Sonic could feel a dark anger welling up inside of him.
End Chapter 2
As usual none of the characters belong to me, well, Dr. Edwards does. The rest belong to sega.
