Espio was going to use his gun on those werehogs, he was upset at Maria.
"When I get my hands on those evil animals, they will pay!" Espio muttered.
At the house...
Silver was willing to ask Shadow a stupid question.
"What is it Silver?" Shadow asked with a growl.
"You talked!" Silver gasped.
"So what, you talked to." Shadow said as he hit Silver in the head and slashed at his sides.
"Ow, that really hurt..." Silver whined.
"Maria isn't home. She left for her gaming thing." Sonic reminded them.
"We know Sonic, your silly blue butt doesn't have to tell us! But we also can't talk around Maria or else she will freak out." Shadow replied flicking his tail.
"Um Shadow? Why is Espio mean?" Silver asked.
"How in the hell should I know!? We bit him the last time, know I discovered that we can talk." Shadow explained.
"I bet Eggman is up to something." Sonic thought.
"Oh sure, maybe Espio is acting stupid." Silver laughed.
"Cool it Silver, or my fangs will sink into your flesh so bad that you will not be able to roll over for a whole month." Shadow growled.
"Shadow, I think you and Silver have been fighting too much, I will lead the group." Sonic replied.
"No! Your butt is too blue and happy, so I will lead. Who votes for me?" Shadow asked.
"I'm the leader!" Silver shouted.
"I vote for Silver!" Sonic jumped up.
"So I win Shadow." Silver snickered.
Shadow got mad and jumped on Silver, then he slashed Silver's ear and bit his tail.
"Oooooooow! Hey!" Silver roared as he jumped on Shadow and clawed him back. Sonic broke the two werehogs out of the arguement.
Shadow was breathing heavily while Silver backed away and sat down, licking his scars.
"That's what you get stupid fat head!" Shadow roared but Sonic silenced him with a flick of his tail.
"So what if Maria is not home with us until 10:00 P.M, we need to be good before her dad gets here too. We can't fight or make a mess." Sonic warned them.
"I don't care if I make a mess, Silver is the messy one that will soon go to hell!" Shadow shouted.
"Shadow stop it! You have been picking on me too long!" Silver sneered.
Sonic agreed with Silver. Shadow was too mean.
"So what? Your the baby, you act like I'm so evil! Mariaa knows me more than you Silver!" Shadow hissed.
"Guys, what if I lead." Sonic changed his mind.
"Fine, that way this idiot doesn't get us into trouble!" Shadow agreed while looking back at Silver furiously.
"Okay, Sonic will lead." Silver sighed.
"So where are we going?" Shadow asked.
"To Eggman's place. I heard about it but I haven't seen it." Sonic replied.
Shadow nodded and they all jumped on top of the window seal and jumped outside.
"It's so dark now. Night time is here." Silver whispered.
"What are you scared Silver?" Shadow growled.
"No, I'm just saying you double crossing werehog jumper!" Silver roared.
"Stop it both of you! I will go by myself if I have to!" Sonic yelled and they followed him without speaking until they got to the crosswalk.
"Cars are running fast out here." Silver noticed as the cars flashed by. Shadow ran across followed by Sonic and Silver.
"Hey hey hey! Wait for us!" Sonic called.
"You both were too slow and you know what? I don't have time for this crap!" Shadow hissed.
Silver and Sonic looked at each other and followed Shadow towards the ally.
"This place is dark, we will need a light." Silver said.
"Okay Silver head! Stop talking and walk!" Shadow shouted.
Sonic shrugged and they passed through lots of trash cans and cats running around the ally.
"Stupid cats!" Shadow growled.
Silver was looking froward, they saw a big base with robots protecting it. They slowly crept towards the base and charged through the doors, Eggman was sitting in a chair with a book in his lap. He was reading.
"Oops." Sonic whispered.
Silver growled but Shadow knocked him over with his feet.
"Shut up Silver and lets get out of here!" Shadow hissed from behind the door.
Eggman didn't look back, he was wearing headphones.
"So Sonic, does he look like he would take Maria?" Shadow asked.
"I guess I was wrong." Sonic admitted.
"Sonic, we have to get home, it's almost time." Silver panicked.
"Shut up Silver and lets go!" Shadow said as they were running towards the house.
They reached the house and used their claws to climb up the window, but they were too late Chadly was home and he looked at the werehogs furiously.
"You three are bad at times now, why did you all leave the house!? I told you guys to protect it, not run away into the night without a warning! What am I going to do with you three?" Chadly asked as he took three leashes out and chained them to the table down stairs.
"Why did you have to plan this Sonic?" Shadow asked looking at Sonic with an angry look.
"I...I don't know... Maria is not safe." Sonic said looking at his paws.
"Well, Espio is after her." Silver added.
Shadow was biting on the leash, he wanted to be free.
"It's not all of Sonic's fault you know." Silver hissed.
"So what? He caused us to be chained up like this!" Shadow roared.
Silver flinched, it didn't help. Shadow was angry at Sonic for running out and he was mad at Silver for being a smart guy.
Maria came in through the door and saw Chadly coming down stairs.
"We need a family meeting." Chadly said feeling angry with Sonic, Silver, and Shadow.
"About what? And why are my pets chained up?" Maria asked.
"They ran outside at night when we weren't home." Chadly explained.
"No, we can get rid of them!" Maria gasped.
"I won't, but they will be chained up to the table down stairs for the night as their punishment." Chadly replied.
"Oh okay dad." Maria sighed as she went to bed feeling alone.
Silver and Sonic looked at Shadow who was growling at Chadly.
"Stupid human!" Shadow roared.
"Well, Sonic must have the right idea about Maria getting into danger." Silver said.
"Shut up stupid one!" Shadow shouted as he fell asleep.
"Lets talk about this in the morning..." Sonic yawned.
"Okay." Silver whispered and felll asleep.
Sonic had a dream about Espio and Eggman Nega, they were holding on to Maria and choking her. After that they had lots of money in their hands anf they ran off to a nice house that was big.
Maria yelled for help as Sonic tried to help her, but he was shot with Espio's gun, he was dying in his sleep.
Sonic woke up and gasped, he looked around and saw Silver and Shadow sleeping, then he fell asleep again.
Chadly was working on a news report for his job, his boss was strict about the writing style. He worked until 12:00 A.M. then he went to bed.
The Next Day...
Espio was still walking towards Maria house when a car stopped by. It had a green hedgehog in it.
"Who are you?" Espio asked.
"I'm Scourge the hedgehog." He said.
"I'm Espio." The purple chaemeleon introduced himself.
"Are you looking for a girl too?" Scourge asked.
"Yes, her name is Maria and she's in that house over there." Espio pointed to the yellow and blue house at the right side of the street.
"Good. We can make lots of money off of her then." Scourge snickered.
"Right, lets go." Espio said as he jumped in the car.
They drove up the house and knocked on the door. As Maria came down stairs to see who it was, Silver howled at her. He knew that it wasn't safe.
"Cool it Silver. My friends said that they will be here at this time." Maria said as she opened the door and it wasn't her friends, it was Espio and Scourge. They both quickly grabbed her and took her to the car.
Shadow broke from his leash and ran over to the two evil minions and slashed them, Scourge was angry and he punched Shadow away. Silver and Sonic broke free and bit on Espio's leg.
Espio took out his gun but he was so stupid about his aim and he missed. Scourge beat the werehogs with his metal baseball bat. Silver and Sonic were knocked out, Shadow was still fighting, Chadly came down stairs and told the two evil people to stop it.
"Get the girl now!" Scourge shouted as Espio grabbed her.
Shadow ran up to Espio to give him another bite, but Scourge held him down.
"Shut up you roaring werehog!" Scourge shouted as Shadow broke free and slashed him. When he turned around, Espio was gone. Even Maria was screaming for help which rang in his ears.
"No! MARIA!" Shadow roared as he ran after Espio.
Sonic and Silver woke up and noticed that Shadow was gone. They got up and ran in the direction that Shadow went through.
"Silver, Maria is gone. Did they take her?" Sonic asked.
"How should I know? That stupid green hedgehog hit so hard that I fell into a nice dream and missed that whole thing!" Silver hissed as they found Shadow running towards Espio.
"Leave me alone you stupid beast!" Espio shouted as Maria cried for help in his arms.
Shadow grabbed Espio but Eggman Nega came in and knocked Shadow down. One family memeber was being taken away from home for money.
"Maria no!" Shadow roared as he leaped on top of the flying ship, but Eggman Mega threw him off like Mufasa.
Shadow hit the ground, Silver and Sonic ran up to him.
"Are you okay Shadow?" Sonic asked.
"Huh? Yes, I'm fine, but Maria is gone!" Shadow hissed.
"We have to save her!" Silver jumped up.
"I know." Shadow growled.
"We will save her." Sonic reassured him.
"Maria likes me so much Sonic. We have to help her now!" Shadow roared as he got up and run towards the direction of the flying ship.
Sonic and Silver followed him. Chadly watched them go.
"Go get my daughter back guys, I will call the police!" Chadly shouted after them, then he went back into the house to call them.
(Hold on Maria, I'm coming for you!) Shadow thought as he ran.
Silver and Sonic was by his side.
In the car...
Scourge was hurt, he was bleeding again.
"I hate werehogs! I'm going to follow them and get the girl of my money needs!" Scourge shouted as he banged on the steering wheel and he drove off.
"Hahahahahahaha! We got the girl that I was looking for! Thank you Espio." Eggman Nega laughed and patted Espio on the head.
"I'm not a kid, I know I did good, but we have to watch out for her pet werehogs." Espio said.
"Let me go!" Maria said as she was struggling to get free and run.
"Shut up little girl, your worth it!" Eggman Nega slapped her face.
"Ow!" Maria cried.
(Shadow help me.) Maria whined in her thoughts.
"Espio! Keep watch, Metal Sonic, you will put on my music before we go any further." Eggman Nega ordered.
Sonic, Silver, and Shadow arrived at the station and they saw the ship fly by.
"There it is! Lets go!" Sonic shouted as Silver and Shadow followed from behind.
Maria was pleading for help, she knew that her pets were coming, she waited...
Oh no! Maria has been captured by Eggman Nega and Espio, but wait! Scourge is after her as well and he won't give up without having her for himself either. What will Silver, Sonic, and Shadow do now? Find out in chapter 7!
