The sniper aimed his crosshair at Tails' shoulder. Tails never saw it coming. He pulled the trigger.

"So Sonic, how do you plan on finding Dark. . ." Tails said before he was hit with a bullet in the shoulder. He fell down as his body was paralyzed by it's contents. Everyone could only gasp. Sonic pulled the bullet out.

"Tails! Are you alright!" Sonic said picking Tails up.

They saw a green ball quickly blast through the window the bullet had come from. Glass went everywhere. The green ball uncurled,revealing a tall figure. He wore a black suit on his legs, lower abdomen,and upper arms. There was a gap in clothing on his abdomen where his belly button was, and a little up,a piece of armor covered his chest. He also had shoulder armor. Strapped to his back was a sniper rifle. He wore a belt on his waist. Two pistols were in holsters on it. He wore a blackcloth over hisupper face. Some green quills like Sonic's came out the back and a gap for eyes were in the mask. The eyes were blue. A cloth was over his mouth. He was a hedgehog, but more importantly, the sniper who shot Tails.

"He will be fine, hedgehog, at least if he comes with me." he said.

"Who the hell are you?" Sonic said in anger. The green hedgehog ran his hand through his quills as if he didn't care.

"Though that's none of your concern; I'll tell you anyway. I am Cinamo, and you have something I need for Lord Darknite. It's in your arms." Cinamo said. "Hand him over please." he said.

"Not a chance in motherfricken hell, pal." Sonic said getting in a battle pose. Cinamo simply laughed lightly.

"I said please. But if you wish to fight, I'll be more than happy to oblige." Cinamo said quickly drawing his two pistols.

"Bring it on, you green psycho." Sonic said doing the bring-it-on symbol with his hand. Cinamo quickly ran towards him. He pulled out his pistols and began to fire. Sonic dodged easily with his speed. "That the best you got?" Sonic said inspecting his nails to tic off Cinamo. Cinamo touched buttons his shoes. He blasted towards Sonic even faster than Sonic's max speed. Those speed shoes were from Darknite. Sonic let out a "Woah!" as he was caught by surprise. Cinamo pulled out a pistol and shot Sonic in the arm. Sonic yelled in pain. He fell to the ground, unconscious by the tranquilizer's effects. Cinamo pulled out the bullet and sped towards Tails' motionless body. He threw a smoke bomb on the ground and picked him up. When the smoke cleared, they were gone.

Back at Darknite's base. . .

Tails awoke in a bed. His arms and legs were tied by chains to the bed poles. "Where am I?" Tails said.

"You're in your new home." a voice said from the darkness in the corner of the room.

Back at the throne room, Darknite sat there with two tubes in his hands. They were Tails' and Sonic's DNA. He now had two of the DNA samples needed to complete Project Splice. He got up and headed for the Genetics Lab. When he got to a part in front of a large capsule, he put the two tubes in a rack there. There was two more on the rack. One was Darknite's and one was what belonged to a dead person, Shadow. Darknite put his hands on the capsule glass. There was a embryo-like shape inside it.

"Soon, Splice. Soon, you will be born! And then, we can begin my takeover of Earth! Wahahaha!" Darknite said laughing evilly.
