Chapter 2
Red Or Black Eyes
Sonic and Sally had been trying to forget that horrible night but its memory always clung to their brains. They just tried to get on with their lives instead of remembering it. Dr. Julian Robotnik took control over Mobotropolis not a few days after, as well as King Acorn disappearing from the castle. Sally became the leader of the Freedom Fighters and they have been blowing up Robotnik's factories and stopping Robotnik for ten years. Now, it was time for another infiltration, but what if this time it didn't go according to plan.
Sonic ran into Sally's hut in the small village of Knothole and searched the room for her.
"Sal, are you ready to go now?" Sonic asked in a yell.
Sonic tapped his foot on the floor as his ear twitched to a metal scraping noise. Sonic turned around and saw a SWATbot in the doorway of Sally's room.
"A SWATbot!" Sonic exclaimed. "What have done to Sally?"
The SWATbot stared at Sonic with its red eyes. Sonic frowned at it as he started running towards it.
"If you're not going to tell me, then…" Sonic shouted as he reached the SWATbot.
The robot reached its arms up to its head and easily as it could; took its head off. Sonic stopped in front of it and stared in surprise.
"Sonic, stop messing around," it said.
Sonic stared at the robot as it took its head off and held it under its arm. Sally's head popped out and she smiled at him.
"Sal, I wasn't. I really thought you were a…" Sonic was cut off by Sally, "That means it must work well, then."
Sonic nodded.
"Yeah, but I don't understand why we can't just race in and deactivate the factory like always?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms.
"Because its not the factory we're after," Sally told him.
"What is it?" Sonic asked.
"Sonic, remember I don't know, not even Uncle Chuck knows," Sally explained.
"Right…" Sonic said.
Sonic stared at the ground, then smirked.
"If things go wrong I can easily get you and Bunnie out of there," Sonic said.
"Exactly, now just be patient," Sally said.
Sonic groaned in an irritated way.
"You know how much I hate waiting," Sonic said.
"I know, that's why I'm asking you nicely," Sally said.
Sonic looked at Sally and smiled.
"Fine, but don't expect it too often," Sonic said.
Sally smiled and walked out her door to the middle of Knothole village. Tails, Antoine, Rotor and Bunnie were waiting for them. Bunnie was wearing the same suit as Sally, but it was bit bigger for her roboticized limbs.
"Are ya ready, Sally-girl?" Bunnie asked.
"Yes," Sally answered.
Tails ran over to Sonic with a pleading expression on his face.
"Sonic, can I come too?" he begged.
"Sorry, lil bro, but we need you here just in case something goes wrong which with me I doubt it," Sonic boasted.
"Oh okay," Tails said, a little upset.
Sonic put a hand on Tails' shoulder.
"Hey, come on, we'll need you here with Ant and Rote," Sonic said. "…And also to make sure Ant doesn't follow us…"
Tails chuckled at that and smiled at Sonic.
"Okay, Sonic," Tails exclaimed.
Sonic ruffled Tails' fringe and smirked.
"Please, my Princess, do not go" Antoine begged Sally.
Antoine kissed Sally's hand.
"Antoine," Sally said in fairly irritated tone.
"Antoine, everything will be fine. After all Sonic will be with them" Rotor told him.
"That is what I am afraid of," Antoine muttered under his breath.
"What was that, Antoine?" Sonic asked.
Antoine froze at Sonic's voice. He knew that once he heard that voice that Sonic must have heard what he said. Sonic walked over to Antoine with an angry expression on his face.
"Nothing, Sonic," Antoine said.
"It sounded like you didn't want me going with them," Sonic said.
Sally rolled her eyes and folded her arms. She knew where this would end up.
"I am only telling the Princess to be careful," Antoine said.
"I heard what you said after that. You said that you're afraid that I will mess up" Sonic said, irritated.
"Well, you usually do," Antoine said.
"What!" Sonic exclaimed.
Sonic clenched his teeth together in anger.
"I'm always the one who ends up destroying the bots! I'm the one who Robotnik mostly wants!" Sonic shouted.
"Yes, but the Princess may get captured and…" Antoine was cut off by Sonic ranting on.
"You think Sally doesn't know that! She does know that! She doesn't care what happens to her all she cares about is helping all of us and destroying Robotnik's forces!" Sonic yelled.
Sonic and Antoine were arguing face to face now.
"Yes, but she has to be more careful," Antoine said.
"She knows to be careful! But you must get it into your head that she's doing what's right for all of us!" Sonic shouted.
"I care about her too much!" Antoine yelled.
"So do I! That's why I risk my life for everyone I care about!" Sonic shouted.
Antoine was about to reply with another remark, but he saw something odd about Sonic. He noticed Sonic's eyes changed from black to red and his canines lengthened to form fangs. Antoine blinked and took a step back from Sonic. Sally unfolded her arms and pushed Sonic and Antoine apart from each other.
"We're not going to get anything done today if you two keep this up," Sally said.
Sonic stood up straight and looked at Sally. Sally looked back to Sonic smiling, but soon saw his red eyes changing back to black. His fangs shortening back into his canines. Sally shook her head.
"Fine," Sonic said, still having the angry tone in his voice.
Sally looked back at Sonic and saw his normal black eyes.
Whatever that man did to Sonic ten years ago must have been passed onto Sonic by the bite, Sally thought.
She got a worried expression on her face.
I hope not, she thought.
Sonic tilted his head.
"Sal, what's wrong?" Sonic asked.
"Nothing. Are you ready Bunnie?" Sally asked.
"Sure am," Bunnie replied.
"What about you, Sonic?" Sally asked.
"I've been ready since I woke up," Sonic said, giving a thumbs up.
"Silly question," Sally sighed.
Sonic grabbed a hold of Bunnie and Sally's hands and revved up his legs.
"It's Finally Juice Time!" Sonic exclaimed.
Sally, Bunnie and Sonic disappeared in flash of blue as Sonic sped off. Antoine watched the blue disappear from sight as he thought to himself.
What was wrong with Sonic's eyes?
