It was the middle of the night...Sonic was hiding up in the room above the garage. He sighs and pulls the brown blanket over him more. And winces when one of his claws pokes him in the shoulder.
"I'm so tired of being in this body. So sick of not being able to talk. Why do I get subjected to this pain change each night?" He gave a hoarse huff, kind of like a dry laugh. "Oh that's right, I forgot. It happening even earlier now, the sun wasn't even down this time. And neither me or Tails has any sort of clue why!"
The morphed hedgehog sighs and tosses the blanket off of him and moves over to the bench beside the window. Glancing out of it Sonic thinks about how his other friends don't even know what he was going though. That he has to hide from everyone while they get to walk free.
"This just bites! I'm inside looking out...I just wish I wasn't forced to turn into-." He holds up up massive hands. "Or at the very least have this thrown on me by Eggman or somebody else. I rather be a hero , just about to stop whatever dastardly plan or doomsday weapon was there. Cock a grin and tease them on a obvious weak spot or hole in their scheme. (Heh like in Unleashed at all?) Then smash their big bot or defeat the monster sent to stop me and save the day again."
It felt so...just wasn't how things are suppose to be for the hero.
"But I was used like a tool. that stupid collar...I couldn't fight it at all. It took over my mind and my...my animal instincts. RAH!" He punched a wall. "I'm just so sick of all this! I feel so helpless sitting around waiting for answers."
Sonic looks at his hand and the wall. Drawing away from it in fear and collapsing to the floor and sobs. "I can barely even control myself..."
He felt so overwhelmed and so alone. Isolated from everyone, even to those who know something is going on with him. He needed real answers, and needed them now.
He goes to the window and opens it. "I'm sorry Tails but I need to do this myself." Sonic sends a glance behind him at the room then leaps out the window to the ground.
His enhanced senses kicked into effect. His body leans closer to the ground, ears moved around alert to every sound. His lungs breathed in and took in all the scents and smells around him.
"Well at least this is pretty cool. I can tell who and what's been here. And get a real good guess at what they were doing."
Sonic has to remind himself about what he was doing and then he starts running though the ground. It takes a few seconds before he realized his body has shifted even more then before. He was stuck running on all fours, and any tries to run on two...well let's say Sonic's pride wouldn't allow anyone else to see.
(He has no problem standing and walking slowly, as he was at the start of this chapter but running..nope. Another story)
The hero slowly makes his way to the city...Then climbing up a building and makes his way along the rooftops.
LINE BREAK
"Nothing!" Eggman slammed his hand into the consol. "Where could the beast have gone?"
Bokun flies up behind the doctor. "It would help if the tracker didn't go off line. Did it run out power?"
"You idiot it can't run out of power!" He growled then let out a sigh. "Just keep the spy cameras working tell me if they see anything."
"Yes sir..." Bokun turns and shrugs at the other two bots before flying off.
Eggman rubs his head. "Maybe I should just move onto my next plan...But it's not worth it was out Sonic to battle."
Where was he anyway?
"He wasn't even there when I attacked the track, even with it being named at him. It should of been named after me. It's not like that hedgehog to be absent when he has the chance to beat me."
He keeps going over everything again and again. And then a thought crosses his mind.
Things suddenly clicked together. Could it,...might it be possible? It would explain so many things, then leave many more questions. He pulls up the files of data on the beast that was gathered in it's time here.
"Now..." Eggman's eyes scan the text and coding. "There's energy signature on file. Let's see if it's similar to this one and if I compare them..." He drags over two icons displaying a image. One label 'Beast' and the other 'D. '
The computer analyzes for a a minute then lets out a : Beep!:
:% 97.6 Percent identical.:
"Oh Ho Ho Ho Ho!" The doctor threw his head back in the air and laughed. "I was right. You thought you could fool me forever, Sonic."
MORE LINE BREAKS
Sonic finally stopped for a rest on top of a small apartment building. "I'm getting nowhere. But at least I'm out and about. I just needed to get outside." He looked around at the city. It still was a great view of the city. It always made him feel better watching the lights from up high.
And it always reminded him of the first night, right after he and his friends were brought here by chaos control.
That's when he meet Sam Speed and the his team, who chased him along the highway, till he did raced past in a sonic boom and shoot off of the unfinished end of the high.
Wow, was all he could think. What a sight.
It was till he realized he was falling right for a pool. Chris's pool to be exact.
"I wish I told him the truth that first night..it would be nice to have the others by my side. At least there Tails, not counting Rouge or the Faker who just found out."
Sonic looks around when he hears a unusual noise then seconds later he just manged to doge a sudden shot that was coming at him.
A growl came from him as Sonic looked around for the source of the attack. And see a familiar Eggmobile making his fur stand on end. "Eggman...bound to find me sooner or later.."
"Hello my dear friend." Eggman grinned. "We're missing you back at the base."
"Well that's great, cause I'm not going." The doctor hears a snarl as a response instead of what Sonic was thinking.
"Oh your going with me wither or not you like it or not Sonic."
The beast froze instantly with a expression of complete surprise.
"Oh yes." Eggman's grin grew bigger. "I know it's you. Thought you could fool me forever, ha!"
With that laugh he presses a button and fires at the hedgehog. "Your coming back with me wither or not you want to. Ho ho ho!"
Sonic dodges to the right. "Great! Now, somehow, he knows it's me! Add that to my list of problems." Then he moves to the left and races across the roof tops.
"I need to get to Tails. Before Eggman gets to me."
A/N
Sorry this took so long and is short!
So Eggman finally knows!
Please send me ideas..I really does help.
