Chapter 8

Sonic and Knuckles had been running down the endless corridor, for what had seemed like a week.

"Are you sure we're on the right floor?" Knuckles asked "Maybe that sign meant that the next floor was the prison..or something!"
"Well we can't turn back to just check. Besides Shadow went that way, so we both have a chance of finding the others. But I'm sure we'll find it soon."

Knuckles sighed with frustration. Sonic turned to look at his friend.

"Believe me Knuckles. I'm just as annoyed to hell as you are right now but, think about it. Our friends are being held captive. The important thing is that we can't give up on them."
Knuckles sighed, knowing Sonic was right.

Just then Sonic saw something ahead.

"Hey Knuckles I think we've found it!"

The gas was beginning to wear off now, so the prisoners began to sit up, one by one. Tails was glad of this, for now he wasn't alone anymore. He plucked up the courage to stand, to find his friend Amy. This was rather difficult as the room was quite dark and Tails tripped over some people, accidentally, on his way around the cage.

"Amy? Am – sorry! – Amy!"
"Tails?"
"Amy!"

He eventually found Amy, sitting on her knees, near the cage door.

"I'm so glad your awake! Are you OK?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit whoosy. But otherwise I'm OK."
"Good"
"Where are we Tails?"
"Well to be honest I'm not sure. I think it's some kind of cage but –"

Tails suddenly stopped.
"Tails..?"
"Sssh! I think I heard someone coming."

Everyone fell silent. Sure enough, two figures came into the room. A voice came from the dark.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Tails and Amy recognised the voice straight away. They were so happy to hear it they couldn't hold it in.

"Sonic!" They cried.
"Tails? Amy?" He ran to the cage door and grabbed the bars.

Knuckles was annoyed at the lack of light. He felt the wall, near the entrance to the prison, with his hands and found a switch. He pulled it and, sure enough, the lights flashed on.

Tails was so happy to see his friend he nearly came to tears. Amy had broken down and cried uncontrolably.
"Are you guys OK?"
The prisoners were happy to see that their rescue and arrived and nodded, smiling.
"We're OK" Tails answered aloud.

Sonic looked at the cage doors.
"How do we get you of here?"
"There's a keypad on the wall over there." Tails pointed to the opposite wall.
"I'm on it!" Knuckles said, walking to where Tails had pointed. He found the keypad and smacked it with his fist, causing the keypad to break apart.

The doors opened.
"Well..that's one way of doing it I guess!" Sonic chuckled.
