Chapter 4 The escape
Dr. Eggman waited impatiently drumming his fingers on the armrest of his chair.
"Are you almost done!" he shouted.
"Ok, I'm coming!" Rouge shouted back.
Rouge walked into the control room with Aurora by her side.
Dr. Eggman looked her over in discust.
The creature wore a bright blue toob top sort of shirt with two straps that held it up and a bright blue skirt with slit that went a little way past her knee, the skirt almost touched the floor and it had a small hole in the back of it so her tail could stick out.
She wore white gloves with a large dark blue bracelet on each and on her feet she wore white platforms.
"I told you to suit her up!" the evil genuis roared.
"I did," Rouge smiled, "and quit elequintly if I do say so myself."
"I did not create a slut to go after Sonic!"
"What did you want me to do? Put a suit of armor on her?"
"What is she going to fight with?"
Rouge smiled at that, "Not only does she fight well with her fists and feet she also has strange powers."
Rouge spun Aurora around then over by Eggman.
"Just say the word," the bat motioned.
"All right," he turned to the creauture,"show me."
Aurora closed her eyes for a moment, her hands began to glow light and dark purple then her eyes sprinted open.
She lunged out in attack kicking, punching, and destroy everything in her path.
"Stop!" Dr. Eggman demanded.
Aurora froze.
"Very nice," he smiled.
"Doctor," Rouge spoke up,"there's only one thing that bothers me."
"Yes?"
"Even though she is quick she seems sort of stiff like a robot."
The Doc. picked up a small chip and said, "I know, that's because of the red chip on the jem."
Rouge stared at the tiny chip in Eggman's hand.
"What's that?" she questioned.
Dr. Eggman put it in the creatures ear, "That is so I can tell the creature what to do and talk to it.
The bat blinked, "Talk to it?"
"If anything were to happen to that chip do you know what would happen?"
Rouge shook her head.
"She would not only be confused, but she would be able to think for her self she could work for me or against me."
"B-but you created her." Rouge reminded him.
"This type of creation doesn't work like robots, so I'm not taking any chances."
Dr. Eggman turned back to the creature, "Bring Sonic to me!"
Aurora nodded leaving for her search.
Sonic kept working his leg out in the cold dark cell.
Sometimes the pain in his body made him flinch and made him want to rest, but the thought of Tails kept him strong.
It was hard for the hedgehog to focus after all he had a lot on his mind,
Maybe Tails is ok, Maybe he faked being shot, Where is the real Shadow? How am I going to get out of here?
Not only the thought of Tails kept him going the thought of that fat guardsmen coming back to watch him and the fact he might be sealed away forever also got his adrenalin pumping.
After several hours he could finally feel his leg. Though he was still in pain he could at least walk.
Now the big question popped up, "How am I going to get out of here?"
"I can't believe this," said a voice in the darkness, "I have to watch that stupid hedgehog!"
It was Frank!
Then Sonic got an idea.
"If I can get Frank mad again maybe he'll try to beat me up and when he does I can escape." the hedgehog plotted under his breath.
"I'll just keep the light off and take a nap." Frank yawned.
This was perfect! Now Frank wouldn't be able to see!
"Long time no see, fatso!" Sonic began.
"Wha? Huh?" Frank mumbled waking out of a doze.
"How's it goin flubbo!" the hedgehog went on.
"Didn't you learn your lesson before?" the man growled.
"Oh you mean the lesson that you're a slow poke."
"That's it!" Frank roared grabbing the keys to the cell.
"You want a piece of me! Bring it on!" Sonic tempted.
The man swung the door open in anger, "You're dead, hedgehog!"
Sonic dashed out of the cell. Though he stumbled a little he was able to open the door and escape from the room.
"Where are you? Where are you!" Frank roared.
The hedgehog darted up the stairs and down the hallways looking for the exit door Tails had took him through.
Once more alarms went on as he speeded through the hallways and aproached the "EXIT" door.
Sonic swung the door open. What luck! No one was there.
The blue hedgehog ran from his prison leaving a trail of blue light as he went.
Sonic was almost out of the boundries of the millitary base when something caught his eye. He aproached it slowly. It was him. Sonic knelt beside him. For the moment the sirens and spot lights behind him didn't faze him. He stared at his friend teary eyed. The hedgehog flipped the fox over, looking at a slash on Tails forehead Sonic guessed that he had hit his head against something. The blue hedgehog ran his hand down the foxes' arm. To Sonics' surprise the fox flinched at the motion. Was he alive? Sonic rested his head on Tails chest. A heart beat! He was alive!
The blue hedgehog was totally stunned. He couldn't believe it! Sonic might have been shocked, but he realized Tails had only moved once. He had to get Tails to a hospital and quick! The hedgehog scooped up the fox in both arms and rushed toward the city. Entering it he began to look desperaitly for a hospital or any medical center of any kind. Finding one, Sonic rushed in and looked around in a panic. He spotted a young red haired women with words "NURSE" on her uniform. Sonic rushed up to the counter.
"Help me!" the hedgehog cried.
The women at the counter was alarmed, but had compassion on the poor little hedgehog. The women picked up her phone and called for someone to come down.
"Don't worry," she said to Sonic,"he'll be just fine."
Two men with a wheel bed came out and placed the fox on it then wheeled him away.
Sonic, breathing heavily, watched has they took him away.
"Why don't you sit over there." the women said pointing to a waiting bench.
The blue hedgehog walked over an took a seat.
Minutes turned to hours which made Sonic very nervious.
Finally, after several hours, the hedgehog saw a man walk up to the women at the counter and whisper into her ear.
"You may see him now." she informed Sonic.
Sonic stood.
"This man will take you to him," she said.
The hedgehog followed the man down the coridors then the man opened a door for him. Sonic walked in, and walked up by the bed.
Tails head was now bandaged along with a bandage wrapped near his heart.
"Tails." Sonic whispered softly.
The foxs' eyes opened slowly, "Sonic?"
Sonic forced a broken smile on his face.
"Hey buddy," he said softly.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save you," the fox said weakly.
Sonic shook his head, "You did great, you don't have to be sorry."
Tails eyes fluttered until he drifted off.
"Tails!" the hedgehog said shaking his friends' arm.
The man that had showed him the room rushed over.
"He's fine, he just needs to rest." he said.
Sonic flopped his face on the bed sobbing and gripping the blanket.
The man put his hand on Sonics' shoulder, "I think you had better go."
The hedgehog wiped his eyes and inhaled deeply. He looked at the man then at Tails.
"Come on." the man urged.
Sonic was led back to the front desk then left there.
"Maybe you should have that leg checked out." the women at the desk suggested.
Sonic sniffed wiping under his nose, "No, I'm fine."
Walking down the streets didn't seem like a good idea after what Sonic had experienced earlier. After he walked a ways he turned into a church graveyard so he could be safe and alone.The darkness and the large tomb stones hid him from sight letting Sonic rest awhile.
Sonic leaned back against a tomb stone to rest, but his attention was soon caught when he saw something behind the trees. The hedgehog walked over and examined the area. More tomb stones were scattered around behind the trees. For no aprarent reason Sonic began to walk around reading the names aloud, "Krisa the cat, Sprint Ross Leo, Hanna Voilet,"
It didn't take Sonic long to realize that this was a animal graveyard.
The hedgehog noticed a certain grave, aproaching it he realized some one had dug it up.
Sonic knelt by the grave and read, "Our beloved Aurora."
The hedgehog tilted his head, "Aurora?"
Sonic jumped when he heard the rustling of bushes.
"Who's there!" the hedgehog demanded.
Suddenly something flashed in front of him. The hedgehog looked back and forth.
Sonic was thrust forward at the force of someone kicking him in the back.
He rolled over quickly trying to see who it was.
"Who's there!" he repeated.
Sonic could see something in front of him, but it was hard to make out in the dark, it was a light blue blur.
"Who are you?" he questioned squinting.
When the creature flashed from sight Sonic stood back up and backed up toward the open grave.
Just then Sonic could see a purple glow heading toward him and before the hedgehog could react he was jabbed in the stomach and forced into the grave.
Authors note: I'm not very good with hospital sceen thingys and I'm not the best at fight sceens either so you'll have to bare with me when I make the next chapter.
I hope you like my story so far. Enjoy!
