Few weeks later, his arm healed, Sonic, Sally and the others met in the War Room preparing for the next raid, they plot out the positions of the bombs, and any ideas of what to do about this new threat that had come up. What ever it was, it seemed to want Sonic dead. It's speed and timing was better then Sonic could have even anticipated had he known. 'Yet the shots were to well place to be any living creatures work, it had to have been a machine,' Sonic thought to himself as Sally went on through her usual speech about being safe and such. When they were finished Sonic and Sally got the proper amount of explosives needed to do the job. "This time," Sonic said as he pulled a gold ring from his pack, "I won't be shot." He put the ring back and revved up his legs with Sally in his arms. He sped through the forest at a casual mach 2. As soon as they left the forest they were already in Robotropolis. It was abnormally quiet, and there were no SWATBots roaming around. Sonic that this as odd and slowed his pace to take out the ring. He set Sally down and she ran for cover to keep out of the snipers, wherever he may be, view. Sonic charged the ring and took off at speeds that broke the sound barrier. Planting bombs in the exact locations he needed to. When he reached Sally he gave her the thumbs up. "Nicole detonate the bombs," Sally said to the computer.

The inner complex shook as the explosions went off. Sniper Wulf had grabbed his gun and was already outside in a good spot to view every part of the city. He loaded his gun with tranquilizers and took aim. He spotted Sonic getting ready to leave with Sally. Before she could reach him Sniper Wulf shot the dart that hit her with a full force knocking her unconscious. Sonic sped over to her and caught her as another dart flew into the back of his head.

The thud echoed through his ears, as everything gradually grew darker. He held Sally in his arms as the ground flew at him faster. He was unconscious before he hit the ground. Sniper Wulf walked over to Sonic and flipped his body over with his boot; he looked down at him with a growing disgust. 'It would be so much easier to kill him now,' Sniper Wulf thought, 'but that would rob me of my fun.' He settled on a quick kick to his gut and called out the SWATBots to have Sonic and Sally transported to the cellblocks. Sniper Wulf sat in his room growing more anxious by the minute, he wanted to put his plan in action now, but Uncle Robotnik had to gloat about capturing that damned blue hedgehog. Every thought he had of Sonic was pure poison to his mind. He wanted him dead and to suffer an eternity in hell. He got up and started to pace around his room. The waiting was driving him crazy. Even though patience was one of his greatest abilities, he was starting to run dry on it.

Sonic watched as Robotnik paced around the room gloating about how he captured his worst enemy. Sonic was restrained to a table and watched as Robotnik strut around the room. The tranquilizer was starting to where off and everything started to come back into focus. Sally was on a table next to him, she was still out cold. "This is a great day for me, I have finally caught not just Sonic but princess Sally as well, you two will make excellent additions to my troops, after you've been on a trip through the roboticizer.well.one of you anyway," Robotnik said this as he picked up a vile. Sally stirred from her slumber and looked frantically around the room and stopped dead on her tracks at the door. Sonic looked in the direction of the door and saw, a wolf standing in the shadows, no doubt one of Robotniks roboticized lackeys. It was looking at Sonic, and the look was of pure poison. "Ahhh, so you awake princess, just in time for the best part," Robotnik said as he filled a syringe with the liquid in the vile. "What ever you plan on doing to us Robotnik, Sonic and I would die first before we told you," Sally said to Robotnik who moved towards her. He raised his metallic hand and backhanded her. Sonic tried to pry himself from his position. "If you ever lay another hand on her again Robotnik, I'll tear you limb from limb," Sonic yelled as he tried to pry himself from the metal straps.

Sniper Wulf watched in awe as Sonic tried to free himself from the restraints screaming at Robotnik. He thought it was odd that this malicious, black-hearted hedgehog cared about someone. 'Quite intriguing,' he thought to himself, Sonic was still struggling. Robotnik injected the poison into Sally, and then he refilled the syringe from a new vile and did the same to the struggling hedgehog. He decided that he should show himself and speak to his prey. "So, you're the mighty Sonic that my Uncle seems to have so much trouble catching.he wasn't that hard Uncle Robotnik," Sniper Wulf said. He watched as Sonic gave him a look of disbelief. "This scumbag is your Uncle, how'd you reel this one in Robuttnik?" Sonic asked with a smirk. "This, hedgehog, is my nephew, he was the one who shot you, and will also have the honor of killing you.that is, if the poison doesn't do that first," Robotnik said to the stunned hedgehog, "You see, he came up with the idea, capture you and the princess, inject you with a slow acting poison, and see who you choose to live, you have three days till it kills you, but to receive the antidote, you have to survive a race." "That wont be hard, no one can beat me in a race, I'm the fastest thing alive," sonic said with a smug look. "But the poison will travel through your blood stream faster if YOU run, all you have to do is reach the center of the maze in my holographic chamber. You'll have three days to reach the heart of the maze if you walk, you have three minutes if you run at your speeds, and the poison saps you of your strength with every passing second you run. Not only that but you carry the life of the princess in your hands, in the heart of the maze you'll find the antidote, during this trial, Tobias here will be hunting you. Good luck hedgehog." With that Robotnik motioned the wolf to move forward, he pulled out a small handgun and shot Sonic with a tranquilizer dart. For a second time, Sonic fell into darkness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sniper Wulf: Sorry folks, but the author is still sleeping, so I took the liberty of typing, and sending today's chapter, but be assured, the author will be back anytime n-
