Author's IMPORTANT note:

Remember, make sure to read "Just Give In, Never Speak Again" so you can understand a bit more on why this is happening. This chapter will be a full out warning of blood, gore, and violence. I originally planned it to be less violent, but I then remembered the past I planted on Saura and decided it to make it a bit more hurtful for her. In this chapter, you'll noticed I did something different for the text. The key is this:

Italics and underline: Prototype Illusions

Bold, Italic, and underline: outside voices (more illusions)

And without further interruption, enjoy this bloody chapter ^^

Shout outs to:

Bajy - oh, well it looks like we shall see more of what will happen. ^^;

GhostofTime - we shall see if Infinite sees it or not and if this could make him come to his senses.

Chapter 16: The Lock Comes Back

*WARNING STARTS HERE!*

When Saura lands on the other tower, she groans a bit in pain from the landing. She tries to get up and then notices the Lightning Wispon that Tails dropped. Grabbing the weapon, she continues to get up as she gets the red rope off her while coughing from the red mist a bit. Once the wolf is on her feet and free, she looks around to see what's going on. There is red mist like smoke around the roof floor covering the area up to her waist. She looks to the other tower and sees Tails and the older Sonic calling out to her. But there is a problem, she can't hear what they're saying. Saura tries to walk closer to hear them, but she then notices glitches appearing in her vision. She shakes her head to try and get the weird pixel particles out of her eyes; but then, she hears herself step on something. Opening her eyes, the wolf looks down to see what it is; however, it's hard to tell with the red mist blocking the way. Whatever it is, the stench of it almost makes her want to gag a bit. That scent also seems familiar! Curious on what it is, Saura blows away some of the mist away to see what it is. A huge mistake! Saura noticed blood on the ground, but that isn't what she stepped on. She stepped on a dead mobian child, a bird, with no eyes! The wolf gasps with a yelp of fear while accidentally falling backwards on the roof flooring. She backs away from it quickly, but she bumps into something. Turning around slowly, Saura sees another dead mobian child; this time it's a dog covered in blood! Saura quickly gets up with another yelp of fear!

What's going on? Why are there dead mobians all over the roof tower? Saura knows for sure there weren't any mobians on this tower aside from her, Infinite, Tails, and both Sonics. The others are not as fast as the Sonics and Infinite. Speaking of the group, the wolf looks to the other tower and noticed Infinite is fighting both Sonics again. She has to find a way to stop the fighting. As much as she wants to stop the empire rise, she can't let Infinite get hurt. It's Eggman who's the real enemy. She shivers as she sees the red mist becoming more visible.

"Saura…" a masculine voice says with a slight dark chuckle. Saura flinches when she heard it! Slowly, the wolf turns to the source of that voice. Her eyes shrunk back in fear when she sees a male mobian brown wolf with hazel eyes and wearing black gloves and shoes and a strange gold medallion. "I must say, it's been a long time since we've last met face to face. I missed you," the brown wolf spoke in that same masculine voice while mocking the last sentence. "And look at you, you've certainly grown to a beautiful flower like your mother. It's just a shame you have your father's eyes. Worthless as ever though I see," he says Saura.

Saura shivers as she watches the brown wolf with caution. How is he alive? She thought he was put to death for the crimes he committed. Those poor mobians must have been through hell by the brown wolf before he finally finishes them. She can't let that happen to the others! The male wolf starts walking around the female wolf in a circle. The brown wolf sees the tension in Saura's eyes as she kept her eyes on him despite the fear in them. "I'm surprised you're not running from me," he says to the female wolf. The brown wolf makes a step forward which had the blond wolf step backwards as she slowly raises her weapon. The male wolf looks behind Saura to see two blue hedgehogs fighting a masked jackal while a two-tailed fox is watching them a bit while looking back to this direction. When he looks back to Saura, the weapon is now raised all the way up to his direction as the female wolf glares at him. Now, he understands what's going on. "So, you made some friends? Are you sure they think of you the same way?" the male wolf asks.

Once the blond wolf flinched, the brown wolf shows a dark smirk. But, that smirk faded when Saura's glare deepened. "Y-yes, they do," she says to the brown wolf. The brown wolf makes a humph noise. Before the female wolf had a chance to move, a red rope like weapon, being held by the male wolf, whips her to the ground. She yelps in pain as she falls to the ground. Making sure she feels the Lightning Wispon, Saura groans a bit as she rubs her arm, where she got attacked. As she tries to get up, the blond wolf suddenly sees a dead mobian adult with a huge hole on their chest; this time, it's a bear! She gasps and quickly gets up. Now shivering, she looks to the brown wolf with more fear.

"What did I say about talking Saura?" the brown wolf says to the blond wolf. The female wolf continues to shiver as she continues to glare at the male wolf. Even if he manages to break her, Saura still can't let this psychotic wolf hurt anyone else. The brown wolf looks back to the group behind Saura and noticed the hedgehogs and jackal are still fighting with each other. "You say they are your "friends." And yet, they're fighting with each other," he says in confusion a bit. Showing an unamused look, the male wolf looks back to the female wolf. "Tell me, why are they fighting?" he asks as a small dark smirk appears on his face.

Saura takes a step back from the brown wolf's question. He's trying to get her to talk. That way, he can just strike at her again. She continues to remain silent while gripping on to her wispon. Raising the wispon a bit, Saura watches the male wolf as she secretly gets ready to attack. The brown wolf stops his smirk to eye narrow at the blond wolf. "Now Saura, it's rude to raise your weapon and ignore your uncle," he says as he starts slowly walking towards the female wolf. Saura growls a bit and uses her wispon to attack the brown wolf. The male wolf gets hit by a lightning whip that caused him to fall in on to the roof floor until he's in the red mist.

Saura deep breaths a bit as she kept her eyes on the spot where the brown wolf could be, at the center. She then looks back to where Tails, both Sonics, and Infinite are at. The two hedgehogs are still fighting the masked jackal. She needs to get back over there and stop them and try again to convince Infinite to stop helping Eggman. Just then, she sees the fox flying straight to her. Remembering the dead bodies, panic start to rise. She can't let Tails see the damage the male wolf, her uncle, had done here. "No Tails, get back," she shouts to the two-tailed fox! Saura sees Tails stop moving to this direction with a surprised and confused look. She waits for Tails to fly back.

"You're speaking again," Saura hears the brown wolf say. Realizing what she did, the blond wolf's eyes shrunk back. Before she had a chance to look back at the male wolf, she felt her back get stung badly by the same red rope weapon twice. Saura yelps in pain as she falls to the ground. Seeing the dead bear mobian, she quickly gets back up while having a hard time thanks to her sore back. Turning around, the blond wolf sees the brown wolf back on his feet at the center of the roof floor.

Saura suddenly hears someone coming. Turning back around, the blond wolf sees Tails coming closer until he's close to the red mist while in the air. She notices Tails trying to speak to her, but she can't hear what he's saying! She wants to say something to the fox, but the thought of being attacked for speaking had shut her up. She then feels someone's hands on her shoulders. Wincing a bit, Saura looks behind her and sees the brown wolf with a dark smirk. "Oh, why don't you tell me about your friend here," he says to the female wolf.

Looking back to Tails, Saura can see him looking a bit frightened. Gaining a bit of courage, the female wolf kicks the male wolf away from her. She looks back to Tails. "Tails, get out of here, please! That wolf's name is Nevil! I-I've dealt with him for a long time an-and he's done more terrible things than Infinite has done! He's m-my uncle," she says in shame. Realizing she spoke, Saura sees she doesn't have much time before the brown wolf strikes. Suddenly, the blond wolf sees the red mist rising for she sees it covering up to her upper body. She then noticed more dead mobians lying around. Covering her mouth while shivering, the female wolf backs away a bit and looks back up to Tails. Noticing Tails is getting closer to the mist to get closer to her, she panics for the fox is about to see what she saw. "No Tails, don't look," she shouts!

"You're losing my patience "niece,"" Nevil, the brown wolf, says to Saura. The blond wolf flinches in fear as her eyes shrunk back again. She turns around and sees the male wolf standing up with the same red rope like weapon in his hand. "I told you, no one wants to hear your voice because of how disgusting it sounds," he reminds Saura. "Now, lets try to make this a little private, shall we?" he added with a dark smirk as the red mist rises higher.

Saura shivers as she feels the red mist now starting to cover her face and the rest of her. She sees the dead mobians again and tries to back away. But everytime she does, a new one pops in with each of them being worse than the others. Shivering, the blond wolf feels completely trapped in this deja vu nightmare. She then feels someone trying to lift her. Saura looks up and sees Tails flying and trying to get her out. Seeing the two tails clearing the mist around him, the blond wolf shakes her head. "Tails, noooo," she shouts!

Tails looks down to Saura in confusion. But then, he sees something on the ground. Once the mist around him cleared away, the fox became stunned. They appear to be dead mobians and some are covered in blood and missing something from them! Unconsciously, Tails lets go of Saura and looks around in fear. Who could've done this? Was all of this Infinite's doing? No, it can't be; he's back at the other tower fighting both Sonics. That way, he can get Saura out of this misty area. But to see this, it gave Tails a fright. He then sees pixle-like parts in his vision a bit as he wipes his eyes. Once that's done, he notices an older brown wolf looking a little bit like Saura except for his eyes, fur, and design. "It seems your friend has seen a little bit too much," the male wolf says. Tails became confused with the brown wolf's words. Seen a little too much, what does he mean by that? The fox then remembers Saura's warnings as he looks around. Finally putting the pieces together, Tails looks to the male wolf with fear. Was all of this done by him?!

Tails was soon attacked by a red rope like weapon, a whip! The fox shouts as he was being flown away due to how hard the attack was. "TAILS," Saura shouts as she tries to run after her friend! But then, she gets whipped on her back which caused her to fall to the roof floor. She whimpers from the pain as she tries to stand back up. She can only get on her hands and knees because of how much pain she's feeling on her back. The blond wolf looks to the direction where Tails was flown. She hopes the fox is alright…

"The whip your friend received was originally meant for you," Saura hears Nevil say. The blond wolf looks to the brown wolf with a confused look. "Your friend was trying to rescue you from this while you spoke to him. So in a way, it's your fault your friend got hurt. By speaking to him, he had to experience your pathetic voice and see what he had to see here," he explains Saura's silent question. "Now, he will have to suffer through what he saw along with the attack just now," he added with a small dark smirk. The blond wolf looks shocked as she looks back to where Tails was flown. "And whose fault is that?" he questions. "The blame goes to you, Saura. You caused this. All because you spoke and tried to save him," he says again.

Saura took in everything Nevil said as her eyes shrunk back further. Tails is hurt because of her? It makes sense… If she spoke, something bad would happen whether it was to her or someone else. And in this case, Tails took the fall this time. And why? Because, the blond wolf spoke. Tears started to appear in Saura's eyes as she lets them fall. "No," she mumbles. The female wolf sees the fox had managed to land on the other tower roof with both Sonics looking back at him with shock and worry. She also sees Infinite getting ready to attack but stops the moment Tails points to her. The fox could be telling both blue hedgehogs what has happened while the masked jackal just watches… Saura notices the mist around her and Nevil is getting thicker, making it hard to see both Sonics, Tails, and Infinite. "I-I'm sorry," she mumbles again as guilt start to take hold of her. "I'm so sorry," she added as she starts crying silently.

"You know, that jackal friend of yours reminds me of myself," the blond wolf hears Nevil say. "He seems to have the potential of showing the world to make the weak submit. It's just too bad he's a jackal. If he was a wolf, I'd show him more techniques to make the world of his dreams," he added. Saura shivers with more tears in her eyes. The thought of Infinite becoming like Nevil terrorizes her. And she… can't do anything to stop it… "Now then, I still need to punish you for those attacks you did and for opening your voice again," the male wolf mentions.

"Listen to that voice..."

"That is a weird sound her voice makes."

"It almost makes me want to throw up a bit."

"It's sounds so hideous."

"Your voice is disgusting."

Saura shivers as she hears those phrases without knowing where they are coming from. She gets her wispon and quickly gets up as she ignores the pain on her back and raises her weapon at Nevil while shivering and crying silently. The male wolf dark chuckles. "You can try to act brave all you want Saura. But I know deep down, you can't stop me now. You're worthless and weak. You can't even protect your friends," he says with certain. Saura shivers more as she looks down a bit. She noticed a little red glow flickering beside her and the brown wolf but not behind her. However, that doesn't really matter. There really isn't anything she can do. She can't even protect her friends from this mad wolf. Nevil is right…

He's always been right…
