Chapter 16, continued torment.
Death egg.
Sonic was currently being suspended by his ankles above a large tank of water, Eggman was sitting at a control terminal with a sinister smile on his face.
Eggman had been in a particular foul mood recently, Sonic remembered that the Doctor had mentioned something during one of their torture sessions about one of his warehouses being raided and losing something important.
"So tell me Sonic, did you ever learn to swim" asked Eggman sarcastically, "I don't know, did you ever learn the importance of a balanced diet" asked Sonic in a mocking fashion, a frown appeared on Eggman's face, but this frown soon turned into a smile as he lowered Sonic into the water.
Sonic held his breath as he was submerged in the water, he know Eggman wasn't going to just kill him here that would be too easy, Sonic waited for Eggman to raise him out of the water, however Eggman didn't touch he controls.
Sonic couldn't hold his breath much longer, his lungs was burning and they felt like they was going to explode, Sonic whined as his face turned bright purple, Sonic involuntary opened him mouth and water rushed into his body.
Eggman finally hit the controls and raised Sonic out of the water, Sonic was coughing and spluttering up water that had made its way into his lungs.
"Oh dear, did you not enjoy you little bath Sonic" said Eggman, "I'll kill you for this Eggman" shouted a very angry Sonic, "Hmm, I think this little hedgehog needs to cool down a little" laughed Eggman as he lowered Sonic back into the water.
Null space.
Shadow dodged another attack by Black doom, Shadow then fired a chaos spear that hit Black doom in the chest sending him backwards.
Shadow wasn't sure how long he had been here, or if this even was the Black comet or not, all he knew was that he had to keep fighting or else he would soon be dead.
"Can't you see that it is pointless to resist Shadow, there is no way out of here" said Black doom, "And can't you see that it doesn't matter how many of your solders you send at me, I'll just kill them all" said Shadow.
Black doom started to float away again, "No you don't" thought Shadow, it had taken him forever to find Black doom and he wasn't about to lose him now.
Shadow teleported up to Black doom and punched him in the back of the head, Black doom fell to the ground and looked at Shadow with fury in his eyes, "You miserable creature, you can't defeat me, my power is infinite" he shouted as he sent out waves of energy at Shadow.
Shadow was able to duck and weave between the razor sharp waves of energy, soon he was close enough to attack Black doom but the alien teleported away before Shadow could do any damage.
Black doom appeared on the other side of the room and began to charge another attack, however Shadow pulled out a plasma pistol that he had taken from a previous Black arms solder and shot at Black doom hitting him it his centre eye.
Black doom stopped charging his attack and instead reached up to cover his wounded eye, Shadow took advantage of this and teleported up to Black doom and grabbed him by the throat.
"Chaos spear" shouted Shadow as he fired a powerful chaos spear that ripped Black doom's head in half.
With Black doom dead Shadow fell to the floor half out of exhaustion and half out of relief, Shadow closed his eyes for a second and wondered how he was going to get out of here, suddenly Shadow heard a high pitched and very familiar roar
Shadow opened his eyes and saw that he was no longer on board the Black comet, he was now on board the ARK and inside the Cannon's core, however the part that caught Shadow's attention the most was the fact that the Biolizard was standing in front of him.
"I'm in hell" said Shadow as he prepared for battle.
New metropolis, Robotnik towers.
Dr Eggman stepped out of a teleporter that was connected to the Death egg, he had just finished torturing Sonic for the day and had decided to focus on concurring more of the planet.
Eggman walked into his office and sat at his desk, "Orbot, what is the current status on my world conquest" asked Eggman, "South island and Sunset heights have both been concurred, we have already begun work on converting Green hill into a prison for your enemies, and Sunset heights will be turned into a new city of your own design" said Orbot reading off of a tablet.
"Good and what about the major cities" asked Eggman, "Unfortunately, our forces have been unable to break through G,U,N's defences, at this rate we estimate it will take six months to defeat them" said Orbot fearing the Doctor's reaction.
"What, six months, I can't wait that long" said Eggman raising his voice, "You know what they say, slow and steady wins the race" said Orbot, "And I say that you should shut your mouth before I use you as a baseball" shouted Eggman.
Eggman leaned back in his chair now with a sour expression on his face, "And what of the Chaos emeralds, have we located the other three yet" asked Eggman, Orbot hesitated before answering, "No Sir, we have be unable to locate them, we believe that G,U,N or the Resistance may have already found them" he said.
Eggman in a moment of anger grabbed Orbot and throw him across the room, "First the Resistance steals the last of my hyper-go-on energy and now they have three Chaos emeralds" he thought.
Eggman opened one of the draw of his desk, inside was three Chaos emeralds, the red one, the blue one and the green one, the last Chaos emerald was currently on the Death egg powering the station.
"With three Chaos emeralds and hyper-go-on energy the Resistance may actually be a threat, I need something to give me an edge in this war" thought Eggman as he began to think of ways that he could gain an advantage.
Just then an idea came to the Doctor, there was one object that had incredible power and could counter the Chaos emeralds, and to make things even better its guardian was currently away.
"Orbot ready our troops, we're attacking Angel island" said Eggman, "Yes of course Lord Robotnik" said Orbot as he left the room before Eggman could attack him again.
Eggman knew that even without Knuckles Angel island was bound to have some type of defence in place and he wasn't sure if his robots could handle this, luckily there was a certain team that had joined his empire at the start of the war and he thought that it was about time for them to make themselves useful.
