((Celestial the Hedgird, I would like to give you a special thanks for your review. It made me want to write the next chapter. I'll read your stories when my computer stops bugging out.))((I own none of the sonic characters, Azma is mine, there will be no time or place in this chapter since the characters won't know where they are))

Chapter4: Return

Sonic felt himself being dragged along a rough floor his nose occasionally bumping against the ground, he tried to open his eyes with no success he then felt a familiar retching movement in his stomach and threw up. A guard yelled in disgust and sonic wished they would stop hitting him as he fell back into the darkness. When he awoke again he was in a cage of pure crystal it felt cool to the touch. He looked around him but the light was to poor to see anything, he slowly tried to remember what happened but all he could recall was the hit on the head. Sonic lost track of time, occasionally he would be fed but he couldn't see the guard. Whenever he fell asleep he would be woken up by low talking by a group of people somewhere in the room he was in. he knew it was a room because of the constant closing of doors.

Azma walked into the prisoner room her sword held aloft it glow leading her way, when she reached the cage with the Blue hedgehog in it hem silently slipped a small bean into his mouth then opened the cage with three smart raps against the crystal bar. She lifted sonic and hung him over her shoulder slowly sneaking out towards the rebel caves.

Sonic awoke in a lit room full of hedgehogs, Brown, Green, Purple, Red and. "Shadow?" Sonic called out as a re and black figure walked by.
"Well, well if it isn't sonic." Shadow said as he walked over to sonic sitting on a stool beside his bed. "What brings you to the Mountain village?" Sonic didn't reply for at that moment Azma Walked into the room he gasped and she looked at him snapping her fingers he fell back into the blackness.

"Azma, I don't think Sonic can help us." Shadow told the navy hedgehog, as he idly played with chaos emerald. "Shadow you must understand the more Hedgehogs we have who can harness the emeralds, the better chance we stand against the Revelators." Azma pleaded to him her hair flowing behind her as she walked towards Sonics cot. "He could be our last hope." She leaned down and kissed Sonic on the cheek.
Shadow stood up and walked towards the mess hall. "Sonic is radical he might act wrongly to your requests." He then left leaving Azma concerned about his loyalties.

The caves were silent even as the Army of Blood red Hedgehogs marched towards the rebel base. And the only hedgehogs who could stop them.

((Hope you don't mind the shortness, the next chapter will be huge.))
