The next morning, the demon that was guarding the cell opened the door, only to find the two hedgehogs gone! They didn't see them anywhere! He stepped into the dark cell. Someone hit him very, very hard and he fell unconscious against the stone wall. Sonic stood up and rubbed his fist. Him and Scourge were hiding behind the door. He bent down and took his keys and him and Scourge left the cell. They locked the door behind them. They then both became blurs running through many different halls looking for a way out. Sonic had almost forgotten how to run. He was always dragged everywhere by his neck, or he was unconscious. It felt so good. He didn't enjoy the moment very long though, soon sirens started blaring everywhere. The demons knew they weren't in their cell. Sonic and his brother reached a glass door. They rammed right through it. They kept on running and Sonic was glad to be able to breath fresh air again. After a year of pain and suffering, it looked like it was about to end. He had been waiting forever to do this. His happiness was short lived. A laser came out of nowhere and he barley dodged the attack. He kept on running though. He wasn't going to be taken back there. He had to stop though when they reached a cliff. Him and Scourge looked frantically around, but there was no way out. The demons soon had them cornered.
Scourge: Sonic, do that shock wave thing you did in the war.
Sonic: *tries* I-I can't! I don't have enough energy!
Demon: You thought you could escape? Ha, you really are idiots. Now you'll both be captured again.
Scourge: Nope. Just me *stands in front of Sonic*
Sonic: Scourge, what are you doing!?
Scourge: I owe you one!*pushes Sonic off the cliff and into a river*
Sonic: SCOURGE!*coughs*
NO! At the top of the cliff,The demons had grabbed onto Scourge's arms and neck and he was pulled away. Sonic had lost his brother again. Soon water filled his lungs and he passed out. The river washed him up onto the river bank and he slowly started to wake up. As soon as he did, he coughed up tons of water. He then immediately began looking for his brother. He could have gotten away. He had no luck though. He did find something extraordinary though. He found the remains of the castle! Somehow, the bottom floor of it had survived. By now plants had covered most of it, but still. He ran over to it and he felt like he needed to start looking for something. He found a black hoodie his size, with a shot gun, smoke grenades, black pants with tons of pockets, black fingerless gloves, and a note. He read the note and started to cry silently. It was from his mother.
Spirit: I left my son those things as a gift. I managed to return to the world of the living and brought them there. Sonic heard someone coming and grabbed the things and hid. Two demons walked by.
Demon: So we got his brother instead... do we still continue the plan?
Other demon: We have to. We've been talking about it for what, 5 years now? We must pull through with it.
They continued walking and talked about their plan. Sonic tried to follow them but he couldn't get close enough to hear them.
Demon: But the kid's not getting off the hook that easy.
Other Demon: What do you mean?
Demon:*smirks* You'll see.
Sonic tried to figure out their plan but he couldn't. There wasn't enough information. He slipped on the hoodie, pants, and gloves . He fit in perfectly with the shadows. Nighttime had fallen and he walked aimlessly into the forest. He was starting to get tired and he decided to sleep in one of the trees. He sat on a branch and looked up at the stars. It was a beautiful night. And for the first time in a while, he wasn't in a cell. His prayers had truly been answered. He then drifted off into a deep , sleep. All of his senses were still alert for any noises at all. He was awoken, and nearly given a heart-attack, by someone hammering some sort of wanted poster on the side of the tree. He stayed perfectly still until the man left. He slipped out of the tree and gasped when he saw who the poster was for. He was wanted. He was wanted for murder of his own father! Is this what the demons meant by him not getting off the hook? So they killed his father and somehow pinned the blame on him?
Sonic: Are you kidding me? Great. Now he was both an outlaw, and a runaway. Could things really get any worse?
For some weird reason the past shone brighter and brighter until everyone had to shield their eyes.
Cream: What's happening?!
Spirit: We're being taken to a different time zone!
The light died down but they were not in Sonic's time anymore. Or possibly even his planet. They were on a destroyed... extremely hot city know mostly only to Silver and Blaze...
