Same as the last chapter, when I refer to Tails, I mean Tails in Sonics body and when I refer to Sonic, I mean Sonic in Tails body. Ok now that's sorted, let's get on with the story!
Chapter 3 - The Escape
Sonic and Tails were lying on their beds, awake. Draco was still asleep on the floor in a sitting position. "Dam I'm hungry" Sonic moaned.
"Then maybe you should have brought a packed lunch?" Tails added.
"Oh yeah ... You're so funny ..."
"Of course! Check my --- Your tails, I usually have something stashed away."
Sonic sat up and felt around his tails but only found crumbs. "Nope nothing, you should think of cleaning these things once in a while."
Some robot guards entered. "Feeding time!" This woke up everyone in the room.
The robot guards handed out slightly dirty water and a few slices of bread to everyone.
Sonic walked up to the bars. "Dude! I need my vitamins, you get nothing from bread!"
"You're lucky you're even getting this you pests." The robot handed the bread to the gang and some water and left the room.
Knuckles then looked over in the gang's general direction. "So uh ... I was thinking ..." He walked up to the bars. "When are we going to escape?"
"I wouldn't even try it, you would never make it!"
"Listen Draco, don't tell me what I can, and can't do." Knuckles looked at Sonic, "So Sonic?"
"To be honest, I have no escape plans, the only thing I got in mind right now is where I can get some REAL food." Sonic was holding his stomach.
"Yeah, I totally agree." Tails was also holding his stomach.
"Listen you guys, if one of you can take out the camera while the robot guards are moving us, we can maybe get out of this room, but after that I don't now." Knuckles said.
"Well that's the best plan I've heard all day." Sonic said. Everyone else nodded.
A few hours later, three robot guards entered. "Ok you rats, the big boss up stirs wants some machinery moved, so let's go!" The robots opened each of the inmate's cell doors one by one attaching a long chain to the leg of each inmate. When the robots got to the gangs cell the three nodded. The robots opened the cell door then Draco flew out at a fast speed. Knocked down the robots. And spit a flame ball at the camera smashing it to pieces.
"Great job Draco!" Sonic yelled. All of the inmates were cheering. Draco grabbed the keys and unlocked the cell doors.
The inmates were about to run off and try and escape them selves but Sonic ran in front of them. "Listen you guys we --" The inmates trampled Sonic before he could warm them. They exited the room, Sonic lay there feeling a little flat. "Ow ..." Draco flew over and helped Sonic back to his feet "Cheers Draco."
Then the gang heard loud foot steps. "Great, sounds like the welcoming committee!" Knuckles said, holding his fists up ready for battle.
Sonic, Tails and Draco scrambled to Knuckles side ready to fight. Tails turned around to face Sonic.
"Hey Sonic."
"Yeah?"
"Did you manage to figure out how to fly?"
"Actually I did, while you guys were sleeping last night I learned how to fly. Check it out. "Sonic spun his twin tails and hovered with ease and landed gracefully on his feet.
Tails looked very impressed. "Amazing, it took me about a week to master flying."
"Well, I --"
"You guys, this isn't the time to chat, we got robots in-coming!" Knuckles shouted.
2 robots entered the room and noticed the gang. "Target acquired dead or dead!"
The gang had a shocked on there faces. The two robots shot laser fire right at the gang. They dodged left and right.
Knuckles picked up Tails and threw him at the enemy. Tails did his spin dash and smashed the robots to pieces ... (not really! this is what really happened.)
Knuckles picked up Tails. And threw him towards the robot. He stumbled threw the air waving his hands and feet in a comical fashion. Tails head smacked the robot directly on his head making it explode. The explosion sent Tails flying back to where the gang was standing, Tails lay on his back holding his head. "OW-OW-OW!" (That's more like it)
"Ok one more try?" Knuckles picked up Tails.
"No, no!" Tails scrambled out of Knuckles grasp, "I told you I can't do a spin dash."
Draco sighed and spat a flame ball at the remaining robot and it blew up. Knuckles looked over at Draco. "Hey, how do you make flame balls? I thought Dragons could only breathe fire."
"Do you really wana now?"
"Yeah."
"Well ok ... it's really a snot ball, you know when you have flem in your throat and you spit it out? Actually Dragons can do way more then just breath fire and spit flame balls ---"
Knuckles eyes went wide. "Ok I get you!" everyone laughed.
"I'm bored, you guys can stay here and chat but I want to escape." Sonic walked towards the door, kicking robot parts that were on the floor and exited the room. "Hey wait up!" Tails shouted and the rest followed.
They were in a long hall with lots of doors. "Let's go this way!" Knuckles said. But before he could walk Draco grabbed his Dread locks and pulled him back. "Ow man, watch the hair." Draco snorted out some sut onto the ground where knuckles was about to walk. "Invisible red sensors, tricky ..." Sonic said.
"Ok then let's go the other way." Knuckles said. Draco was making sure to check for sensors. The gang got to the end of the hall. "Ok left or right?" Knuckles asked.
"I say this door." Sonic randomly picked a door.
"No wait--"
Sonic jumped into the air and kicked the door down. He soon realized their wasn't a room on the other side of the door, there was a 100 floor drop! "ARGH!" Sonic then fell to his doom.
"We lost him ..." Tails said looking a little sad.
"Poor guy" Draco said.
"Hey, I'm not dead! Help me!"
The gang looked over the edge and saw Sonic hanging onto a door knob on the floor below. "You can save me anytime you now."
The gang laughed. "Sonic ... Just fly back up, silly." Tails snickered.
"Oh yeah ..." Sonic twisted his twin tails and flew back up and landed next to the gang. "Ok from now on no kicking doors down." Sonic joked.
They carried on walking down hall after hall but getting no where. "Dam are we walking around in circles?" Sonic enquired
"Dunno, I mean all the halls look the same, the doors are the same brown color with the same gold door knob, Lets keep going we can't go around in circles for ever." Draco said.
10 hours later The gang was exhausted. "So we can't go around in circles for ever eh?"
"Shut up sonic ..." Draco said, "Hey wait a minute ... this door, it seems different from all the rest."
"What door? I don't see any door there."
"What do you mean you don't see any door there? Look it's ... right ... there!"
Draco opened the door, the gang was shocked. "You guys really didn't see that door?"
"No!" Sonic rushed to look inside and saw another drop, but this time it was like a pit fall, all you could see was darkness. Sonic jumped down and shocked everyone in doing so. "Yo guys come on down! Just make sure you land on your feet." The gang looked at each other and jumped down 1 after another.
They were now in front of another door, they opened it with caution and saw Robotnik sitting in a chair in front of hundreds of screens, probably monitoring the whole base. He turned his chair around. "Glad you could come ... To your DOOM!" Robotnik pushed a button on his chair and he focused his attention to a nearby wall, nothing happened, he pressed it again, and again. "Come on you stupid wall, open!" The gang looked on and thought it was sad.
"Ok, enough of this, tell me Robotnik why did me and tails switch bodies when that machine blew up." Robotnik laughed. "Tell me!"
"Oh Sonic or is it Tails" Robotnik continued to laugh "That machine was meant to convert energy to hyper energy, it's what I use to power my mega creations, so somehow when it blew up it swapped your personalities don't ask me." Robotnik continued to laugh. "As far as I know you should change back eventually so there's nothing to worry about."
Sonic turned around. "Well this was a waste of time." Robotnik stood up and pressed a button on his chair and escaped through a trap door. "Dammit get back here." But the trap door closed, Sonic tried the button again but to no avail. "Well we might as go home since robotnik said that we will eventually change back."
"We can't go back, we need to KILL robotnik." Draco said.
"WHAT? Listen to me Draco we don't kill people. I repeat, we don't kill anyone!"
"But he is evil! If we don't kill him he will only come back."
"Yeah I agree with you Draco, I mean he has always come back, we need to defeat him once and for all." Tails said.
Everyone looked kind of surprised at a once innocent fox was thinking of killing Robotnik.
"Maybe your right Draco maybe your not ... I just never killed before, I wanted to stay away from that kind of thing but with Robotnik we may not have another choice."
"Ok then it's settled, next time we find Robotnik he is going down!" Draco shouted.
A screen lit up at the front of the room "Robotnik!" Knuckles shouted.
"Someone give Knuckles a prize for that one." Robotnik joked. Knuckles gave him an angry stare. "So you Pests think you have won? Think again!"
The floor opened up so the whole room was like a pit fall.
Sonic managed to save Tails by flying but Draco and Knuckles got caught "HA-HA, when you think you're ready, come and save your puny friends. I will be waiting!" Robotnink fled towards the sky.
"Great, now what?" Tails asked.
"We need to rescue them."
"But we have no idea where he is."
A map appeared on a screen that showed Robotniks location
"How convenient, let's go!"
