Hey guys! Sorry about the long wait, I had a strong writer block issue and I've gotten into the babysitting business. I'll try updating more from here on
CH 12
Astrid's vision was blurry as she woke up. All she could see was a blurry light, from what it looked like, she was staring at a ceiling. As she began to move, she felt like her arms and legs were bound. This caused her to panic and begin to wiggle around, but it seemed like she was bound tight.
"Moving like that won't set you free."
Astrid moved her head up as best as she could. "Who's there!?" She yelled.
Soon, the holder of the voice showed themselves and showed to be Eggman. This caused her to freeze. "R-Robotnik?! What are you doing here?! I thought Sonic got rid of you!" She yelled.
Eggman cackled. "That's where you're wrong. He didn't get rid of me, in fact. He and I have been working together!" He revealed.
Astrid's eyes widened at the revelation. This couldn't be true.. "No.. You're lying!" She yelled as she fought against her restraints.
Eggman smirked at her. "Think what you will, but what I say is in fact the truth." he said as he began to leave.
"W-WAIT! NO! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Astrid's eyes filled with tears as she felt herself shake with fear. Where is she…? When was she going to be saved..?
XXXXXXX
"Shadow you need to calm down!"
Rouge was trying to relax the enraged male as he was looking through his suitcase. For reasons such as this, he made sure to bring a gun. With Astrid snatched away, he wasn't thinking straight. Rouge put a hand on his shoulder. "Shadow. Listen, please. Everything is going to be okay. We'll find her. Let's call Scourge, and Silver, maybe even Sonic's group so that they can help."
Shadow clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "Fine. You call Amy, and I'll call Scourge."
The two separated and called them, after talking to them, they came to each other.
"Scourge will be here as soon as pos-"
Suddenly a portal came open in between them and Scourge came out pulling Silver along. "ALRIGHT WHO TOOK HER!?" He yelled.
"Good to see you still have your warp ring. Also, we have no clue yet." Rouge said.
Scourge was clenching his fists tightly as he ranted on and on, while Silver looked at Shadow and Rouge.
"What happened?" He asked calmly.
"Well.." Rouge began explaining the whole ordeal with Sonic and what they know so far and why they were hiding. After awhile Shadow took over and explained his part, why he was on watch while Rouge was gone, and Astrid's dreams.
Silver nodded along with the explanation. "I see… He's really dangerous then.. He must've been the one that took her.." He said.
As they thought amongst themselves, they suddenly heard a crash. They went over to the living room and found a rock with paper on it.
"Listen here, if you ever want to see her again
Follow the following instructions:
1. Bring Scourge to these coordinates
2. Bring Shadow to these coordinates
3. Bring the chaos emeralds to Eggman's base, alone, Rouge.
Those are my demands, follow them and you will see her."
Everyone was silent. They didn't want to follow those demands.. But Astrid's life was at stake.. "We have to do it. We can't let Astrid die because of us.." Silver said.
"But, isn't Astrid the ultimate life form like you? Surely she should be powerful." Scourge asked Shadow.
"She is. But during the time we worked with Eggman, he took most of her power. She's barely even stronger than Sonic, and barely as fast as I am.." He explained.
Scourge huffed as he crossed his arms. "Well shit. Then I guess we have to follow those demands.."
Rouge suddenly perked up at them. "Not necessarily! We have Tails remember?! He could make just about anything! He could probably even make a chaos emerald!" She explained.
"So.. Make false emeralds, give them to possibly Eggman, and run off with Astrid?" Silver explained.
"Exactly!" She said.
Everyone nodded their heads. Seemed to be possible. Astrid will be saved soon enough! At least.. That's what they thought..
=With Astrid=
Astrid was still fighting her restraints, she thought maybe if she fought hard enough, she'll come loose. As she fought, she heard footsteps.
"Who's there!?" She called out.
A chuckle erupted from the person's throat. "Why it's your number one hero of course."
Astrid's eyes hardened. "Sonic.."
He came out from the shadows and smirked at her. "At least be a little glad to see me!" He said sarcastically.
The young female merely glared at him. This wasn't the hero she knew and loved.. This was someone entirely different, someone darker. Sinister. Sadistic.
"Fuck you." She spat.
His sarcastic smile turned into an angry frown. He walked up to her and grabbed her by the neck. "Listen here Bitch, if you think acting tough will help you here, you're dead wrong. Here, you're nothing more than a dirty whore who will do anything I say, and if not. Then I have no use for you.. Alive at least.." He said. His eyes were solid.. They were back to the slime color they were once before. They held no emotion.. They were.. Hollow.
Astrid stood silent. For now, she had to try and keep her wits about her until Shadow came for her. Sonic left after ensuring she was still tightly bound. The young female stared at the ceiling, she tried to keep her composure, but was failing.. She was scared.. Scared of what was going to happen to her.. Scared of what plans Sonic had for her. Especially with the dream she had, she had to really be on her toes.. Tears stung her eyes.. She was silently hoping Sonic wasn't planning on doing what she thinking.. Anything but that…
Her lip quivered with fright as she tried to think of ways to escape. She wiggled her wrists against the rope. She figured if she wiggled enough, it would snap. She took a deep breath and began to fight through her binds..
