Time is Running out
Robotnik's latest laboratory came into sight, and Tails inhaled, glancing to his wing, where Knuckles was standing cross armed. Knuckles gave a serious glance to the young fox, wordless encouraging him to keep up the speed. Time was running out for their best friend.
Deep within the lab Sonic glared from where he was strapped, on a conveyer belt that was pulling closer and closer to the device that meant his end. The doctor watched with a sinister grin under his long red mustache. The egg shaped man only glanced at his security monitors a second before releasing a wickedly jolly chorkle. "Your friends are coming to save you, hedgehog. But they won't arrive in time."
"They will." Sonic countered, smirking at the no-good doctor. "I guarantee it." His feet began to disappear into the machine, and his smirk quickly faded into grim determination.
"Not this time, Sonic." Robotnik spoke softly with the chuckle in his throat. Then he went silent and just enjoyed the scene before him.
As Sonic's legs faded into the shadows he began to squirm a little. His waist darkened. "Come on guys… Time is running out."
Tails and Knuckles ran through the halls, smashing and shooting any bots in their way half-hazardley. They ran as fast as they could between the fights.
Sonic pulled his head back, making a pitiful whimper as he could nearly feel the darkness shadowing his vision.
A moment later the building was filled with an inhuman scream that caused the two would be Mobian heroes to stop dead in their tracks. Somehow they both knew that scream was Sonic's. It was too late.
