A/N: I have returned! crickets chirp in the background Who asked you?!

Note #1: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog. If I did, there would be better games!

Note #2: Sorry no updates last week! I could have given an extra chapter because the teachers went on strike. It didn't do any good. The govenor (A/N: I live in Kentucky) wasn't even there (I think he was just too chicken to face all the teachers, but that's just me ) Good news I get a few days off this week because of a carnival that comes yearly that they cancel school for, so I can make up for those two chapters!

Note #3: "This means a character is talking."

This means a character is thinking.

This means a change in place is happening.

This means a change in time is happening.

THIS MEANS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS HAPPENING.

"This in a phrase of one or two words means someone is getting used to something."

Note #4: Recap: Go read the last chapter, duh!

Note #5: Please ignore any characters I make that I will ever put in here, besides the prockters and Cybil, who will play a very important role in freeing Sonic and Manic. The mobians (besides Cybil) are just in here for kicks.

Note #6: If you want any more chapters at all, give me some ideas! I can hardly think of anything for this chapter, much less any later ones!

Note #7: I'm also aging Amy, Tails, Cream, and Cybil to 14-17. That's just a little heads-up.

Note #8: (Wow, 8 notes before the story!) Now, on with the show!

Chapter 5

Procktaria

The Palace of Rosii.

Every prockter that exists knows Rosii, the oldest prockter alive, with an age of 456,458,268,384,958. She has been the queen of Procktaria for about five milliniums (sp?).

The mother of twelve children, Rosii lives peacefully in a beautiful white palace that lies on the Quasi Sea. Water takes up all 100 of Procktaria, even though you can't see almost any of it, because the prockters built many cities on top of it. A city itself is a HUGE building that spreads out for about 15,000 miles. When you look at a city from a distance, it looks like some sort of symbol, which can be about life, peace, happiness, and even darkness.

The city Rosii's palace is in is Quasi City, the largest city of Procktaria. Ironically though, it's not the capital. The capital is Muiau City, which is the city next to Quasi City. It's right close to the palace, even though technically the palace is in a different city. The reason because of this is that Quasi City is the place where Rosii was born, so when she took the throne, she expanded the city to include her palace.

Something else about Rosii was that she was the mother of Raven "Ketru", Aliya "Ali", and Luma "Sena" Sena.

Sena's Base: Sonic and Manic's cell

Manic heard someone walking down the corridor, and looked down it to see a guard.

That's strange, he thought. Everyone Sena usually sends on missions is out ON a mission. And it can't be torture, she always comes herself. Wonder what she wants?

The guard stopped in front of him, and it went through the long process of opening. When it did open, he grabbed Manic, and went out.

Manic was happy. He didn't care what she did with him, after two long months, he was finally out!

Station Square: Ten minutes later

The guard had droven Manic all the way to Station Square. He was definately needed for a mission.

He drove into an alley, and then stopped the vehicle. He then got out, went to the back of the van, and got back in.

Manic had been restrained the whole trip. Once they got to the van, the guard had chained him to a bar in the back of the van.

The guard walked up to him, and then untied him. "Sena has chosen you to do this mission," he told him. Duh, Manic thought. Sena just didn't make the guards take the prisoners on joyrides whenever they wished.

"She wants you to retrieve a female hedgehog," the guard continued. He finished untieing him, and then snapped a collar (sp?) on him. "Don't try anything stupid-this collar I just put on you will send 100,000 volts into your body if you try to free yourself. And don't try to do it just so you will die and be away from her forever-the properties of the collar's metal will prevent you from dieing."

Manic gulped at that. He had been through lots of pain before-but nothing like 100,000 volts. And that the collar will prevent it from killing him?

"Here is the girl you will retrieve," the guard said, showing him a picture of a female hedgehog.

In Manic's eyes, the girl was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She was a teenage green female hedgehog, with hazel eyes, a purple bandana, golden earings, a necklace with a cross on it, a red t-shirt, blue jeans, yellow sneakers, and a pink bracelet. Her quills in the center curved downward, and her two outer quills curved to the side.

"You will retrieve her and take her to Sena. Now go!" the guard ordered, kicking him.

With a yelp of surprise, Manic flew out of the van, and hit the ground with a thud. The guard jumped into the driver's seat, and before Manic could turn around, he drove off.

He looked out of the alley, and simply gazed in amazement. After fifteen years trapped in a cell, hei s now looking at the world. The REAL world, not just some cage you are forced to spend your life in.

He walked forward, and instantly jumped back. "Ow!" he yelled, and then set down to examine his foot. He had stepped onto a piece of glass, and it sure didn't fell good against his exposed feet. He pulled the glass out, and saw that he had a deep wound. He was bleeding badly.

"Oh, great!" he muttered. "Just great!" He looked around at his surroundings, looking for something to wrap his foot in. He saw nothing. He was going to have to dig.

He got back up, limping towards a dumpster, and almost stepped on another piece of glass. "Whew," he sighed in relief. He'd better watch out for those.

Fifteen minutes later

After much searching, Manic finally found a blanket. "Fina-," he started weakly, but then fell over because of blood loss.

Near the alley

"Amy, how many times do I have to tell you? I got the lip stick!"

Driving a red car was a teenage green female hedgehog, with hazel eyes, a purple bandana, golden earings, a necklace with a cross on it, a red t-shirt, blue jeans, yellow sneakers, and a pink bracelet, whose quills in the center curved downward, and her two outer quills curved to the side, was walking through Station Square with a few hand bags. Her name was Cybil Quick.

"Okay! That's good! Now, when will you get here?" Amy asked over Cybil's cell phone. Amy and Cybil were two high school juniors who lived together in an apartment downtown. They were also best friends, but Cybil had to admit, she was annoying sometimes.

Cybil sighed. For the past five minutes, Amy would ask if she had the lip stick, then ask when she would be home.

"Eventually," Cybil answered.

"Okay! So do you have the lip stick?"

Cybil rolled her eyes, and then gasped at what she saw when she did. She had chosen the exact moment to drive past the alley that Manic was in when she rolled her eyes.

"Oh my god!" she said, and then turned her attention back to the phone. "Amy, I'm going to have to call you back!"

"But, Cy! This-" she couldn't blurt anything else out, Cybil had hung up, and then turned her cell phone off.

She parked the car, and rushed over to where the body was, and saw that it was a green male hedgehog. She saw that he was still breathing, but barely. She pulled turned her cell phone back on, and started dialing 911...

She then saw that he had a collar strapped around his neck.

"Oh my gosh! I can't call 911! The government doesn't trust any of Sena's prisoners!" she said depressingly, turning her cell phone back off. But she couldn't leave him like this, he looked like a nice person, plus he was very handsome. She was going to have to do this herself.

She started looking for a wound. The only one she could find was on his foot, but it was real bad, still bleeding. "Ew!" she said, she couldn't stand the sight of blood. She untied her bandana off her head and tied it around his foot.

Once she had done that, he stopped breathing.

"Oh great....." she said. She was going to have to perform CPR.

She did it, and the green hedgehog let out a caugh, but he didn't regain consiousnous.

"I'm going to have to take him home. I have more medical equipment at the apartment," she said. She picked up the hedgehog, lied him down in the backseat of her car, and went on.

Amy and Cybil's apartment

"Are you nuts?!"

A half-hour passed, and Cybil had gotten back to her apartment with Manic.

"Amy, he was dieing! I had to bring him here!" Cybil tried to explain to Amy why she brought the green hedgehog back with her.

"But he's one of Sena's prisoners! He could try to kill us!" Amy shot back.

"But I couldn't leave him there! If I had left him there, he would have died!"

"But he's Sena's prisoner!"

"I know, Amy, but no one should be Sena's prisoner! We have to try and get that collar off of him!"

"What? Who's there?"

The two girls looked over to where Manic was lieing, and saw that he was regaining consiousnous.

"Now what?" Amy asked Cybil.

A/N: That's it!

Note #9: Cybil has found Manic! R&R

See ya!
