Chapter 2

"Sonic"

"Wha? Who's there?" Sonic asked nervously.

"You can't keep me locked in here forever"

Sonic suddenly saw a dark figure looming over him.

"Let me out!"

Sonic's eyes snapped open and he shot up. He was drenched in sweat. He decided the dream meant something, but he didn't know what. He was determined to keep this dream from the team. Sonic ran to Tails' workshop because before he left Amy's house Tails asked him if he could run some tests to make sure he was okay. Sonic happily agreed.

"Hey Tails." Sonic said as he ran into Tails' workshop.

"Hey Sonic, are you ready for the tests?" Tails asked.

"You batcha." Sonic replied with a smirk on his face.

"I can't find anything wrong right now. Maybe you should come back tomorrow so I can double check?" Suggested Tails.

"Sure thing pal." Sonic replied with his signature thumbs up. Sonic sped off to Meh Burger and got a chilidog. At Meh Burger sonic saw Eggman eating a meh burger and he decided to confront him about the laser and collar. He was going to get Eggman to take the collar off.

"Hey Egghead mind explain what this is about." Said Sonic gesturing to the collar.

Eggman continues to eat his meh burger, acting like Sonic wasn't even there.

"Well if you won't explain it will you at least take it off?" Sonic asked.

Again Eggman ignored Sonic. As Sonic turns to leave Eggman suddenly tells Sonic to meet him at his lair tomorrow and to make sure to bring his friends. Eggman quickly got up and left before Sonic could ask any questions.

Sonic's head was spinning with so many questions. What was Eggamn planning? Why didn't he explain anything? Why was his character so off? Sonic felt that instead of getting answers he only got more questions.

Sonic really wasn't sure about his meeting with Eggman, but what other choice did he have? He has a collar around his neck that hurts him whenever he tries to take it off, and now he's having these crazy dreams. He felt cornered; it was like he was trapped in a cage, and the only way out was going to Eggman.

After thinking of any other way to get the collar off, Sonic reluctantly decides to tell the team about his meeting with Eggman tomorrow. While walking to tell the team, Sonic makes sure he was hiding all of the fear in his eyes.
