Episode 4: Imprisoned, Once Again Part 1

Last Time On Sonic The Hedgehog: Post Apocalyptic Future

''How do we get there now?'' Tails asserted.

''We look around this big area.'' Jack remarked everyone.

''Now?'' A woman stands up. ''We have injured here.''

''Some of my powers are back.'' Silver responded.

Back In Dr. Gero's mansion in the cold mountains. The freedom fighters had been planning on escaping. Knuckles had dug the a tunnel under his capsule and connected it to the other capsules his friends where inside.

''Alright, lets leave.'' Silver whispered as he held Blaze's hands.

''What about Sonic and Shadow.'' Amy urged. ''And Spencer too.''

''Yeah Silver, they are in different rooms.''

''Blaze… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''

This Time:

A RedShack guard throws Tails inside the truck. He rubbed his back from the pain he felt when he landed in the inside. Jack tries comforting his fox friend.

''You ok?'' Jack asked.

''Shut up!'' A guard commanded.

''Or what.'' Jack obliged.

The guard smiles and holds a remote. The cuffs had been connected to the remote somehow. He presses a green button that paralyses him. He grunts and then passes out.

''Jack!'' Everyone says in unison.

''Shut up and don't touch a thing.'' The guard closes the delivery door and Tails shakes Jack to wake him up. He lifted his eye and didn't feel that comfortable. Jack stands up and tries punching the delivery door but there was a bump that made him jump.

''Whoa, you weren't thinking of punching the door down, right?" Silver asks. ''Theres a camera by the way.'' Jack glances at the camera and rips it off.

''What kind of people do this?'' Tails asked.

''Sick ones.'' Rouge answered.

Suddenly the truck stops. They had arrived at the destination and parked a garage door so the prisoners wouldn't run away. Jack got his fist ready as Tails followed his lead.

''Get ready.'' Jack says as the garage door opens. A guard stood at the door and quickly grabbed Jack's hands. He had sensed that Jack was trying to start an attack and then he looks at Tails.

''Are you gonna start with me?"" The guard asked the fox making him shook his head. The guard grabbed Jack's neck. ''Lets go to your cell.'' Four other guards stand behind the crew and made them walking straight to their cells.

The place they were in was an abandoned gymnasium. It was filled with wires and computers and one giant screen for a television. There was one office room with advanced hardware computers upstarts but is visible in the main area of the store. Jay was in the office and turned on his intercom.

''Prisoners.'' Jay speeches. ''I don't like you, you don't like me. Well you're gonna get used to all this. You guys will be working and be our slaves, if you are not good enough for our community then you will end up dead!''

''Well this guy is cranky.'' A civilian says.

Before everyone entered the cell, they had dropped their weapons on the ground making guards pick them up, but Tails was still standing outside looking at Jay. A guard pushed Tails inside the cell and glares at him. He gave Tails a mad look as if he was going to kill him. Tails trembles as he tried to stand up but then he quickly joins his people.

The cell everyone was in was pretty big, almost like a playground. It had bunk beds, chairs to sit on and a half broken ladder on the ground. It had half a roof with a forcefield. This cell was the entrance of where people would go through in the hardware store but it was changed by Jay and he covered it by a huge high gate which has holes making cold air come in and reaches the ceiling.

''Are you guys okay?'' Tails shares.

''You guys look pissed.'' A female voice says up the half ceiling. A survivor was on top of the prison and looked down at Tails as he shifted his hair that was covering his eyes. He took a proper glance of the cat as she watched the prisoners.

''We need help.'' Tails desperately asked but the Mobian cat disappeared onto the upper roof of the prison.

''What a downer.'' Jack adds.

The cell door opens, Jay entered with Techno and a chef. The chef had brought plates and sloppy porridge for the crew to eat. Jay smiled as the prisoners looked at him with fear.

''People, I am giving you food for only today and then you have to work. If you don't work then you end up in the chair in my office.'' Prisoners were murmuring about the ''chair''.

''Why can't we leave?'' Jack asked politely.

''Because, your gonna help us build the ultimate android weapon to destroy the world.''

''Where is the android?'' Jack told Jay making him chuckle. A guard comes in the cell with a capsule which had someone in it. Yuki was in the chamber.

''Yuki!'' Tails calls out to her. She responds and breaks out of the capsule but gets grabbed by two guards who roamed in the cell.

Jay walks closely to Jack and then reveals his anger face. He grabs out a taser and knocks Jack out. The prisoners gasp as Jay tortured Jack. Jack gets electrocuted by Jay multiple times. Mary couldn't move from her spot she was captured at to save Jack. The guards who were holding Tails felt a little bit of pity making them distracted of Tails. So the yellow fox runs in the trouble and jumps on Jay.

''What are you doing you feral ferret?'' Jay asked.

''Trying to save a friend!'' Tails had no power to defeat him. Jay finished Tails off by punching him in the face knocking him out once more.

''Tails!'' The guards tried gouging out Jack's eyes with the taser.

''Tails.'' Sonic's voice said. Tails had a vision. He saw Sonic in his super form while he was in the middle of action. In the background of the dream, the world seem to be firing up and buildings were collapsing.

''Sonic?'' Tails asked with lots of questions popping around his head.

''You have to be more stronger.'' Sonic persuaded.

''But how?''

Sonic looked back at the battle skies. All of the freedom fighters were fighting enemies that seemed vaguely familiar. Sonic looked back at Tails and hovered closer to him.

''Rage, anger is your only option.''

''Anger?''

''Get back up and show them who is boss.''

''Ri—Right.''

Tails woke up and looked at Jay.

''Finally came to your senses?'' Jay teased. ''HEY!'' He barked at Tails' awfully mad looking face.

''I… I—'' Tails talks deeply which offends Jay, so he slapped Tails' face hard but the fox didn't feel pain.

''You're gonna do what?'' Jay asked tempted.

''I'm gonna kill you.'' Tails speeches.

Tails yells so hard it made him ascend into mid air. The chaos emeralds that they left behind in the treehouse somehow traced Tails' rage and came to him. They speeded right into his body and his fur started becoming yellow but it stopped. He landed on the ground thinking of how close he was. Jay laughed at the fox as the chaos emeralds came out of Tails.

''What do we have here?" Jay picks up the gem and knocks out Tails with it. ''Looks like I will be playing around with this.'' Jay leaves the cell with the guards but the prisoner. The chef looked at the group in sadness but ignored his feelings.

Looks like the heroes are being fried by the RedShack, does the chef have a pity? And will the girl come back and help Tails take on Jay.
