Chapter 8: The mouths of envious Always find another door
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But there are only seven!!" Sonic exclaimed jumping back fro the screen and staring dead eye at Kat. "You're making that up!"
"I assure you I am not. Why would GUN have a file concerning it?" She countered.
"Maybe you made it yourself." He said meekly.
"What good would that do? Just a waste of time, that's what it would be." She said shaking her head.
"Maybe you're trying to throw me off from what you're really planning."
A soft smile and it startled him. "That's better, try to think like that more often, but no, I'm not trying to mislead you. North Island, remember that."
He watched in disbelief as she walked away. "I'll ask you not to follow me, though, I know you will anyway."
--
He now thought twice about not listening to her. She had never given him reason to doubt her word and know he wished he had listened to her warnings.
She was quite away ahead of him and appeared to be preoccupied with looking for something.
It was almost as if something had taken hold of his body and willed it to do as it pleased.
Kat was reaching in to a vat of some kind, pulling out a bit of the dark blue liquid in a vile that seemed to have come out of thin air. He had somehow managed to sneak up behind her with a stealth that, when he thought about it after, sent chills up and down his spine.
He attacked with a trademark spin-dash.
At the last second she made a half tern to see him. "Sonic don-" Her plea was cut off as she fell back in to the thick blue liquid with a scream.
He later learned from Tails that the chemicals where some kind of mutagen; it turns DNA inside out.
The container exploded, and only his fast reflexes saved him from being covered in the dark gunk, he was very glad he wasn't.
A lion stood, on all fours, where the container once was. Although it wasn't like any kind of lion he had seen, more like the Non-anthro lions that should be extinct. They would be a lot like this creature that stood before him, if those lions rivaled the size of the bio-lizard, and extremely sharp fangs and claws and had a fiery colored mane.
The eyes of the monster snapped open staring in to the trembling green orbs before it. His mind went numb and almost frozen to the spot he did the only thing he could do.
Run.

"What are you doing here?"
"Trying to save your brother's life."
"I have no family."
"Ah, you don't do you? Well you'll be surprised to know you have already met him."
"I don't believe you."
A sigh. "Weather you do or you don't it's all the same to me."
"…"
"If you're trying to make the base self-destruct you'll have to go to the control room."
"You're a bundle of surprises."
A slick smile. "I try…"

Sonic fell back against a large container, panting. He hadn't counting on it being so fast. It had chased him through the entire storage area for what seemed like hours, but could only have been a few minutes.
She-it-whatever, walked by his hiding place and he stiffened trying to blend in to the shadows as he had seen said hedgehog do, even if it didn't work to well with blue fur. It-she, that was giving him a headache, continued on, but he was sure she, he stuck with that,knew just where to find him.
"She's looking for you." Sonic nearly fell out of his skin, turning around so fast it almost gave him whiplash. The cat next to him merely chuckled. "Tell me, what it is that you did?"
"I-I… knocked her… into… something…" he stuttered.
"Humm…"
"Who are… you?" Sonic whispered wondering if the white cat heard him.
"Virus, you knew that I'm sure." He muttered. "Don't move from here." Then he simply disappeared.
Sonic, for once, did as he was told.
The cat returned minutes later with a plan. "Behind us-don't look she's there, might see you- is a container with the antidote to this. Distract her, I'll dump it on her, just don't let her move far."
The hedgehog nodded and raced off to do his part.
--
Sonic zipped between the lioness's feet, taunting, even of most of his confidence was shattered. Virus was behind hem trying to position the container so it did not fall on the hedgehog as well as its intended target.
He suddenly called out in a strange language before the canister fell hard on the head of the lioness.
She rored in pain and stumped before falling the ground in a small heap as Kat, in her hand was the vile that she had gathered.
Virus lifted the still form from the ground before Turing to Sonic and paused a moment as if he did not know how to say what he wanted. "Thank you for helping. The black hedgehog-"
"Shadow." He automatically corrected, just because he called him names didn't mean others got the same privileges.
"Yes, Shadow, will be here soon. I suggest you leave soon after." He disappeared just before Shadow walked in.
"Did I miss anything?" he asked as the crimson eyes swept the wreck of a room.
"Nothing much, Kat was just teaching me hoe to play chess, boring game really." He answered smiling. The other remained unbelieving.
"Let's go, the base will destruct soon," Sonic gave him a questioning look. "A welcome back gift." He finished smirking.
CHAOS CONTROL
An enormous boom erupted through the region. None of the sub commanders would go near the General for a few days after that.

"Sonic the hedgehog!" Amy screamed as soon as he entered the door. "How dare you leave me all alone like that!!"
"Umm…but Amy I…umm." Sonic stuttered trying to fend off her rage.
"No 'buts'! I can't believe you would do something like that! Amy Raged on. Sonic sent a pleading look to Shadow and Tails. The latter smiling meekly and the former, clearly enjoying the plight, mouthed the words 'Pay Back.'
"Tails," The black hedgehog whispered. "You got a camera?"
The kitsune smiled mischievously before running off to collect desired object wile Amy continued to chomp at Sonic's head.
'Now all I need,' Shadow thought. 'Is a website to put them on…'
