Lieutenant Juke's mind was running one hundred miles per hour.
"How could something like this happen?" Was the question that kept repeating
itself through the hedgehog's head. She rushed as fast as she could to the rack
containing her hoverboard. She turned it on and hoped aboard. Leaning forward,
she sped through the halls as fast as the board would allow her. She escaped the
complex and began on her way down the mountain. She had to find the truth.
No matter the outcome, things would be bad. If Casino Night was unharmed, she
would be wondering why Robotnik had lied to her, and if Casino Night was gone,
then she didn't know what she'd do.

Dr. Robotnik sat in a swivel chair, fingers grazing over each and every one of
the control panel's buttons, each of which would send the hedgehog's nerves
jolting. His eyes were trained on the spiky blue creature strapped to his chair
with an all too defiant grin on his face, the creature who called himself
"Sonic". Robotnik wondered if the hedgehog was crazy because this creature was
in a life threatening situation and SMIRKING! There seemed to be not the least
amount of fear in the hedgehog, he seemed to be enjoying the thrill.
"Get that smirk off your face right now, rodent!!!" Robotnik yelled, pressing
one of his fingers down on the "shock" button. The hedgehog grit his teeth in
pain as sparks of gold and blue danced across his body. However, much to Ro
"Aw, forget it." Robotnik, sighed. He'd normally kill anyone defying him, but
Robotnik wanted information. He could kill the hedgehog later. "Hedgehog, I want
to know where your from."
"So you do? My momma said never to talk to strangers." Was Sonic's sarcastic
reply.
"Oh, so you think you're real funny too, huh? I'll show you!" Robotnik yelled.
He selected his favorite weapon, the probe. The probe was a weapon that scanned
the body looking for pain sensors to irritate, which it then did. The psychotic
doctor grinned at the rodent's pain.
Sonic did his best to try and hide from showing his pain, it didn't work. His
teeth were grit and he was hyperventilating. He tried to squirm around, but his
bindings wouldn't let him. And to add insult to injury, Robotnik was laughing a
very sadistic laugh. The pain stopped, it didn't fade, just stopped.
Sonic was afraid, very afraid, under Robotnik's hands were tools to not only put
Sonic in as much discomfort as the doctor pleased, but, Sonic realized, were
tools to send him to his death, and that terrified him.

Coming into Casino Night
---
Heck, who cared about BEING in Casino Night, coming into it, especially at night
was so much more scenic. The lights of hundreds of buildings were on, but it was
strange, because, normally, there were thousands. Juke sensed it, something was
amiss. She shifted her hoverboard into top gear and literally flew down the
mountain. Her thoughts were neck-and-neck with her boards speed.
Lieutenant Juke the Hedgehog reached the bottom of the mountain and panicked.
Buzzbombers were dropping bombs in residential areas. Juke keyed her comlink,
"This is Lieutenant Juke, I ORDER you to stop bombing and leave the city
immediately!"
However, she was surprised at the response. "Invalid Command."
"Oh big time, crud." Juke yelled as she realized that Robotnik had programmed
the bots to override her commands.
The lime hedgehog zipped through the streets toward her house. Smoldering ruins
were everywhere, only the skyscrapers were left unscathed. As far as residential
attacks went, this one was much worse than Metropolis. The damage was so bad in
some areas that giant craters had formed. Was Robotnik testing some new kind of
bomb?
She leaned back to slow her board near her house, and fell off, but not from
lack of balance.

Back in the interrogation room.

"Now, answer me, where are you from?" Robotnik asked.
Trying to hide any fear in his voice, Sonic (as calmly as he could) answered, "A
few miles south of central Metropolis,"
"Ah, so I see. Did you have fun in my raid?" Robotnik questioned, ending it with
an evil laugh.
"You killed my parents Robotnik! And now I want to kill you! C'mon, let me out
and fight me like a man!"
"Sure, but I'll leave the fighting to someone else, Lieutenant?" Robotnik
called. "Lieutenant?" He had not noticed Juke's absence. Robotnik swore and then
turned to Sonic again. "How old are you?"
"15."
"And now, why were you up on Mount Marble?"
"I was heading to Casino Night."
"So I thought. Tell me hedgehog, is there an evacuation center in Casino Night."
Sonic couldn't risk telling Robotnik about the underground evac camp, or he'd
sure as heck bomb that too. "No," Sonic said dully, and hoped that Robotnik
wouldn't know he was lying.

Back in Casino Night-- Again

Juke got to her feet as fast as she could. Her parents were outside of her
house, hands behind their heads and on their knees. There were only two
buzzbombers, and then, simultaneously, they fired. Her parents slumped to the
ground and the buzzbombers turned to face the Lieutenant and opened fire.
Juke rolled behind a fallen bolder for cover and drew her pistol. She came out
and fired at the first one: Direct hit. The other one tried to get on her six,
but the Lieutenant turned around and fired, dodging the falling chunk of metal.
She ran up to her parents, they were dead. She couldn't believe what Robotnik
did. He would pay, and she knew just how...
