Trapped on this ship with no one but myself and a robot. No way was I going to make their job that easy. I had to get off, and fast. Sonic and his siblings already told me how dangerous this guy was. But with my ankles stuck, there wasn't anything I could do. The robot just stood there, watching me. I could hear footsteps approaching the door of the van. A gulp was caught in my throat as a rather large figure stepped inside. That was when I thought of it. If I couldn't run, I could at least try to fly out of there. But.. not yet. It was too risky.
"So. You're the being that was brought into my world. You're rather young, not really what I was expecting my machine to bring into this world. But, I do wonder. Do you have the brains I'm looking for?" He chuckled darkly, a sinister smile on his face.
I had no answer, which from what I could tell, displeased him. "You know, I have ways of making you talk, so I'd suggest spitting it out. Or, I could make things a living nightmare for your resistance pals. Since you seem.. To be very.. Very attached to them already. Seeing who you've been with this past month."
He's going to hurt Sonic and his siblings. They can't be messed with. That would ruin everything they told me about. "Fine. I'll talk. And.. what kind of brains are you looking for exactly?"
"My dear child, what I need is someone who can think creatively. I need to get more creative when going after the resistance, and capturing those royal brats. Obviously you've seen my bounty hunters. And a genius child.. Might be exactly.. What I need. Do as I say and I won't bother with your friends for now and will let you live. You're useless to me if I have to robotize you."
This was a lot to think about. But, until I could think of a way to get out, staying alive was probably the better option. "Fine. I'll do whatever you want. Just leave them alone."
"Good boy." He had the robots grab my arms, which lifted my feet off of the ground. "But as a precaution. I will be making sure you can not escape. Bring him." He ordered the robots as we left the van. I just hope that Sonic, Sonia and Manic were alright.

"Sonic! We have to get Tails back from Robotnik! There's no telling what he's going to do to that kid!" Sonia screamed at me. You'd think I didn't understand the gravity of the situation.
"I know, I know. The ship is long gone also. We need to get to his lair to break him out. But the question is.. How? Without the van it will take forever to get there." Things just seemed to be getting more and more complicated. We gotta get the little guy back before something bad happens."
"Hold on bro, maybe if we can get to one of the freedom fighters hideouts they can supply us with a ship so we can sneak in and snatch back our foxy friend." What would I do without my siblings? They may not be as fast as me, but they come up with some of the best plans.
"Alright. Let's do it to it." I grabbed their arms and sped us out of there to the nearest base I knew.
Robotnik had me brought to a small room filled with different devices and tools. Not to mention some chemicals I've yet to identify. The guy also tied up my tails so I couldn't fly away. And with the chains on my ankles, there wasn't much else I could do. Guards watching the door as well.
"You got me trapped here, what is it you want me to build anyway?" I asked, also wondering why he couldn't be bothered with doing this himself if he was so smart.
He just grinned down at me, a nasty expression on his face. "I've been looking into other worlds and stumbled upon yours. I've noticed how little my counterpart there has done, and figured, why not. Expand my empire. So I figured, why not check to see if a certain. Pest lives there. Sonic. You and he are rather close. How ironic won't it be for him to meet his demise, knowing the creator of the device that brought me there was his very own.. Best friend."
He can't be serious. This crazy guy wants to take over my world? No wonder he was letting those three go free this time. Tears fought to escape my eyes as I stared at Robotnik.
"Well? Are you going to build for me? Or do I need to find a more motivational way to get you to work? Say with the three royal brats?"
"I'll do it.. Just leave them alone.. Please." There weren't many options right now. I needed to avoid being turned into a robot and needed to buy time for Sonic, Sonia, and Manic. The best way to do that is by keeping Robotnik off of their back. "I just need some time to work and think."
"Such a good boy. Get to work then. I will be checking up on you to make sure you aren't up to any.. Funny business." With that, I was left alone. Now, to think of a better way to break out of here.. And build a machine that can take me home.
"Let's see how long you can get this to last fatso. I'll be out of here in no time. Just need to see what supplies he has to offer.." I would begin rummaging around to find the parts I needed to get started. "I can't do nothing. As long as he thinks that I'm worth keeping alive, I can build whatever I need. I just hope that the others find me quick. I hope they're alright."
