Sonics POV
I awoke to a soft buzzing. I opened my eyes and could see clear walls all around me. I sat up, and suddenly felt a spike of pain in my head. What had happened last night? I looked around and realized I was inside something, inside of the lab. I don't remember tails building this though. That's when I suddenly remembered. My head hurt extremely bad and I collapsed back to the ground. It wasn't tails. It was an imposter! I got back up feeling rage building within my very being. "HEY!" I screamed as loud as I could. "Where are you you little shit?! Where is tails?!" A wall to the side suddenly slid upwards revealing a part of the lab I had never seen before. Tails came walking out. Or at least what looked like tails. "Here I am!" He said almost mockingly. "What did you do with him?!" I demanded. He just laughed. "Why sonic, I don't know what you mean. I'm the only tails you need to know. And Ill be the only tails you know after tonight." I couldn't help but shudder in anger and fear. "So its been you this whole time? But why?"
Rather than answer he began to explain the device I was in. Basically, any direction I run the device will rotate with me, stopping me from gaining any real momentum. It was also small enough I couldn't jump around in it. I was stuck. "So really, were going to have a lot of fun tonight. You just stay put. Not like you have a choice." He smiled and walked back to the wall. He hit a panel and it slid up. Before it closed I thought I heard whimpering. "Tails!" I screamed in anguish. That bastard will pay for this. I swear it.
Tails POV
I screamed once more in pain. I was covered in sweat and blood. The machine was going to try to steal my body. If it could become me, sonic would never be in pain again. At least according to the machines logic.
My legs and arms had been cut and wires were run into my veins. The robot had also fitted a large helmet to me and it was all hooked up to a large machine. I was too defeated to struggle as he continued to run more wires into me. I had lost a lot of blood at this point and was becoming light headed. I wish it would all go away. I was growing impatient. I wish the robot would just take me, it would be better than living with the pain of knowing sonic and I are ruined.
After a few more adjustments, robotails finally sighed. "Its ready. Don't worry this won't hurt a bit." He smiled as he plugged a wire from his head into the large machine. "Goodbye tails," he said before he flipped a switch, "and hello tails!" He exclaimed as he then slammed a fist into a green button on the console. Blinding white pain erupted all over my body. That's when my world went from madness to chaos. I could hear a loud screech and it took me a minute to realize the sound was coming from my throat. It felt as if I was slowly losing the feeling to parts of my body.
Sonics POV
Even through the solid metal wall between us I could recognize the screams of my kitsune. The sound made my blood run cold. Quickly afterwards I found myself turning red fuming with anger. 'I will not let this happen! I am sonic the hedgehog!' I thought to myself. There was nothing worse in the world to me than sitting helplessly while tails is being tortured, possibly killed. I began to sprint. The ball of course rotated with me but I had devised a plan. After running for a little while the ball was going about fast enough I thought it would hold. At that moment I pulled my signature stop and made sure to grind my feet into the material. The outside buckled a little bit and I found my right foot tearing through as I flew out of the ball through the air. I slammed into the opposite wall, the wind was immediately knocked out of me. My physical injuries from the impact would have to wait though. I had escaped and now my best friend dearly needed my help. I got up and limping, made my way to the wall. I hit the panel and the door slid up. I had thought I knew what to expect, but I wasn't prepared for what I was about to see.
