"We have to find Sonic!" Tails tried to pull away from Shadow. "He needs us!"
"I know he does but in his emotional state it's not safe, you saw how badly Sonic had lost control."
The fox shivers remembering the enraged face of the werehog.
Shadow still didn't let go went Tails stopped fighting. "I know you're worried for him but it may make it worse if we're around him now."
"Mister Shadow does have a point." Tanaka said. "I'm sure there are others things we can do to help our friend."
"I don't even know how long he has..."
"He was able to transform during the day and hours before he would normally."
"Do we even have time to find all the Chaos Emeralds?"
"It's hard to say anymore. But I don't think so..." Everyone looks down with varying levels of depressed expressions. "..."
"Hey.." Knuckles speaks up, getting the others attention. "Might the Master Emerald work to buy us more time?"
"It might. Though the Chaos Emeralds would be better but I guess we'd have to make do for now." Tails nods. "But that also means the Emerald search needs to happen double time."
"Sure thing."
Sonic raced blindly though the outskirts of Station Square towards the forest.
"Tails I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you had to see me like that...
Later the werehog starts to slow down as he made his way deeper into the forest.
He could he lose control like that? Shadow was annoying and all but that bad. "The stress must of been getting to me more then I thought." That makes sense, who wouldn't be worked up. Turning into a beast. Slowly but surely over time becoming more and more trapped as this creature...this thing...this monster...
Sonic shook his head with a snarl. This was so messed up. Why was this happening to him? He was a hero, yea he may get himself into alot of situations, but this isn't was anyone deserved.
Instead of this, he should be out stopping Eggman. Chasing the guy down in whatever his latest robot creation was. Smirking and spouting out funny jokes and sarcastic comments. Like Egghead or one of Sonic's personal favorites, Bladdy Nose Hair , he used that one often just to make the Doctor mad.
"Heh." The werehog chuckled to himself. Man that was the best, besides hanging out with his friends. Nothing better.
~Crack~ A twig snapped on the ground and instantly Sonic froze. What was that? Was someone coming? Maybe it was Eggman, or worse his friends.
The werehog glaces to his right, to where the noise had came from. Standing right there, eyes glued to him as much as Sonic's were, was one of the largest bucks you'd ever see. A giant twenty-five pointer, the kind of trophy that hunters would drool over.
"It's huge!" Sonic exclaimed in his head. The size of this guy almost made the werehog feel tiny, and with him being a hulking figure. That was saying something. It would certainly being a worthy prize for anyone one. It's large thick muscles...sure would taste so good...Sonic shook his head. What the heck was he thinking? Thinking how that animal would taste?
The thought really disgusted him.
Then in a hair split second later pain shot thought his mind, clutching it desperately. A powerful force was trying to push it's way into the werehog's mind. It took several moment, because of the pain, for Sonic to realize that it was the beast like mind attempting to take control of his.
"No, not now! He struggled to push it back. He already had lost it before, this can't be happening again! But the beast's mind set fought back as much as Sonic attempted to quell it. Sadly but surely, he was losing even thought he was fighting it this time around.
The deer actually stopped and stared, this time in confusion for a moment or two. Like it was unsure why the predatory beast in front of it wasn't chasing after it. But after that pause it darts off, not taking the chance to stand around and ending up at dinner.
That movement was just enough distraction for Sonic that he swiftly lost the battle within his own mind. The pine green eyes darken even further and the pupils narrow to cat like slits. Afterwards a almighty roar came from the feral werehog as it started to chase the deer with the head start.
