Shadow's heart raced as he heard the footsteps coming closer. 'Shit!' He thought. "Are you supposed to be here?" Asked a voice grok behind him. Shadow froze, not knowing what to do or answer. The guard looked at questionably and noticed the collar and bracelets. The other guard, who was a wolf, sighed and rubbed the skin between his eyes with his thumb and his index finger.
Meanwhile, Shadow just autos still nervous and afraid of getting caught. "You dang rookies! You should know better than to play with the equipment" said the wolf giving Shadow an annoyed look. "Turn around"
Shadow did as he was told. The guard stared at hook for a couple of second before taking a metal let out of his pocket and handing out to him. "Use this to get yourself out of those and then go back to your section. The guard began to walk away but stopped at the doorway. "AND DON'T PART WITH THE EQUIPMENT!" he yelled and then left.
Shadow smirked, holding the metal key on his hand. He extended his left arm and inserted the key in the bracelet's keyhole, then turned. It made a 'click' noise before it feel to the ground. Shadow ruined the sure flesh of his wrist before freeing himself from the other bracelet and the collar.
He began to think of the next pose of his plan as he walked out of the room, but something inside caught his eye. A smirk spread across his muzzle as he thought 'perfect'
-Manic's POV-
Pain filled my spine and my trail as my new cellmate, Spike, shamed Mr onto the ground. We hadn't really gotten along this last few days. He was a very muscular, gray wolf. I took a deep breath, got up and pouched him right in the jaw
with all my strength. He feel on the floor and growled. "You'll wish you had never done that!" Threatened Spike rubbing his jaw.
At that moment, a guard wearing a black mask opened the cell. The mask covered his whole face. "Manic Matthew Hedgehog" he spoke in a dark, wicked voice, " come with me...you at going to be executed"
I could feel child sweat run from down my back and the back of my neck. My heart began to pump faster and my hands felt sweaty. The guard came in, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out of the cell. Spike laughed loudly. "See you in hell!" Yelled Spike.
The guard pulled me gently through the hall of cells. To my surprise the guard's grip was kind lose, and he had a lovely pair of red eyes. I shook my head., How could I think something like that about someone who was going to kill me?
We stopped at another cell and he ordered me to stay there. He weren't inside and came out carrying Silver. He looked depressed and miserable. His eyes watered as he frowned. The guard pulled both of us by the arm and signaled us to keep walking.
It seemed as if we had walked for hours. We reached the end of the hallway of cells and we treasured another one that was pure white and was way smaller. We finally stopped by a door. 'The execution room' I thought. "C-Can you please t-t-tell my wife a-and my daughter...I love them" said Silver, but the guard ignored him. The guard put his hand on the door handle and looked at us. "Are you ready?" He asked, but neither of us answered. Without hesitation, he opened the door.
"This isn't the execution room!" I said relived then the the of us went inside. "I'm gonna remove your bracelets and collars" the guard said. Then he took out a gray metal key from his pocket. He took my left arm and used the key to take off my bracelet. He did the same with my other bracelet and my collar. Then he did the same with Silver.
"Here, change" said the guard throwing me a pair of black Jeans, a green short and a red vest. 'Just what I was wearing when I got arrested' I thought. Silver was given a pair of blue Jeans and a button shirt with gray and blue stripes. Then we started changing.
After both of us got dressed, the guard dragged us out of the room. "Close your eyes and don't you dare look" he said. I hesitated, but did as I was told. I figured that if I didn't do so my death would be more painful than it already was going to be. He took me by the arm softly and pulled me. "Walk" he ordered in a deep voice. I kept walking along with him. My heartbeat increased knowing that I was walking to my death. Then I heard a car door being open, but out was probably just my imagination.
Then I was pushed, but I landed on a soft surface. Suddenly, something heavy feel in my stomach, making me groan in slight pain. "Okay...you can open you're eyes now" said the guard, but I was...well...to afraid to do so.
-3rd POV-
Manic was shaking, afraid to open his eyes. He could picture himself opening his eyes, only to find himself partying on a need, waiting for the legal injection, our something worse. Taking a deep breath, Manic opened his eyes and exhaled. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Silver on to of him (who still had his eyes closed). They were in a car and the prison guard was the driver.
He looked at the rearview mirror to see the reflection of the hedgehog's face before attacking him. But his jaw stopped instead. Manic pouched Silver of him and hugged the ebony red striped hedgehog from the back seat. "Shadow!" Manic exclaimed excitedly. Hearing that name made Silver open his eyes and chuckle to himself. 'Well what do you know? We're not getting executed after all! Phew!' Thought Silver happily. "My hero!" Exclaimed Manic before giving Shadow a kiss on the cheek. Shadow raised an eyebrow at hook, but still blushed a little in embarrassment. 'Probably the drugs'
"So Shadz, where we going?" Manic asked cutely wagging his tail. "First continent. So our next destination is the third continent, then the second and then the first" Shadow explained. "Why don't we just go from the fourth continent to the first?" Silver asked confused. "Are you crazy? The closest side to the first continent has more protection than the prison itself! Shadow said as he continued to drive. "Okay fine" Silver said in defeat. "You got a point there" Manic added.
"I cant wait to see Blaze and a Grace, they live in the first continent" Silver said several minutes later. "What a coincidence! My sibs live in the first continent too! Can't wait to see 'em either!" Manic said excitedly. "And I can't wait ether so we can compete our mission" Shadow said in a darker tone. "What's our mission?" Manic asked. Shadow chuckled.
"Well if you must know now, we're going to murder dictator Absterold"
