Chapter 4

Awakening The Monster Within

Bunnie opened her eyes and looked around. She saw she was in a cell in a dungeon. She heard a voice and saw a distraught princess beside her. Sally sighed in relief.

"Oh thank goodness. Are you okay, Bunnie?" Sally asked.

"Sure, Sally-girl, ah'm fine. Where are we? Wha' happened?" Bunnie asked.

"Robotnik's SWATbots knocked us out as we arrived at the dungeon. I woke up before you and started getting worried about you," Sally told the cyborg rabbit.

Bunnie nodded and looked around again and saw someone was missing.

"Where's Sugar-hog?" Bunnie asked, frightened for the hedgehog.

"I don't know. Maybe Robotnik put him in a separate cell," Sally told Bunnie.

"You are correct about that, Princess," a voice said behind them.

The two whirled around and saw Robotnik outside their cell with a SWATbot beside him. Robotnik smiled, wickedly, and clicked his fingers. A small box popped out of the SWATbot's chest and went into the cell. It unfolded and turned into a television and an image appeared on the screen. Bunnie and Sally saw that it was Sonic and he was inside a sound-proof cell with no windows or doors, except for the glass doors ones in front of him. There was a bed in the corner and he was staring at the camera in anger.

"Oh no," Sally exclaimed.

"Sugah-hog!" Bunnie cried.

Sonic growled and lunged at the glass and tried cutting it with his quills, but it didn't work. He tried a few more times, but it still didn't work. Sonic stood against the wall, panting and glaring at the camera.

"Robotnik! I Know You're Watching Me! What Are Gonna To Do Bunnie And Sal? What Are You Planning On Doing With Me?" he shouted at the camera and lunged at it, fist clenched, but suddenly gas came from a small hole in the glass door and he fell down, unconscious.

Sally and Bunnie watched as the gas blocked their view of Sonic. The television suddenly folded back into the small box and went back inside the SWATbot. Sally ran up to the bars and held them within her grasp as she and Bunnie glared at Robotnik.

"What did you do to him?" she asked.

"It was just knock-out gas, Princess. He will be fine. That is ... until I have finished with him," Robotnik smiled and turned to leave.

"What About Us? What Are You Going To Do To Us?" Sally yelled after him.

"The roboticizer of course," he replied. "But after I'm done with that hedgehog."

Robotnik left, leaving Sally and Bunnie staring after him and thinking about what he would do to Sonic.

Sonic opened his eyes and looked down at his hands. His eyes widened when he saw that he was chained to a lab table. There was only one light on and it was above him. He looked at his surroundings and saw a giant computer in the corner with an image of a DNA analysis. He looked to the other side and saw two sliding doors open and saw 'The FatMan' walk in. Sonic's eyes narrowed and he growled.

"What do you plan to do to me?" Sonic snarled at Robotnik.

"Calm down, hedgehog. All I want to do is look at that little DNA analysis on the computer and upgrade your 'being'," Robotnik explained, grinning evilly.

"Upgrade my 'being'?" Sonic asked, suspicious.

Robotnik's grin widened and he walked over to the computer and it printed out some documents on Sonic's DNA. Robotnik read them and was surprised at what he saw.

"That's impossible," he said.

"What? What's impossible?" Sonic asked.

Robotnik glared at Sonic, but decided to tell him since he wasn't going to be able to remember anything afterwards.

"Well, it says that you're DNA has been warped by a bite you got when you were five," Robotnik explained.

"Yeah, I remember that dude. What a weirdo! He bit me on my neck and it felt like he was sucking my blood like a leech," Sonic shuddered at the memory.

"Well, it said there was a sort of ... venom in his fangs and it went into your bloodstream and ... corrupted it with some sort of demon being," Robotnik smirked.

"Demon being in my blood," Sonic repeated with a scared tone.

"Yes. Now I think that you would be a great pet once it's awakened," Robotnik laughed.

Sonic gulped.

"What demon being is it? And how will you awaken it?" Sonic asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out!" Robotnik exclaimed, pulling down a switch and a bolt of lightning hit Sonic.

Sonic screamed in pain as he felt a section of his blood unclog itself from a forced barrier and corrupt his normal blood. The lightning stung his skin and burned his body, especially the place where the scar from the bite ten years ago was. It singed like a fiery acid hitting his scar and then ... it stopped. Robotnik pulled the switch up and smiled at the hedgehog in front of him. He walked over to the hedgehog and leaned forward, looking at the hedgehog's black eyes.

"How do you feel Sonic?" he asked.

"Hungry," Sonic looked up, smiling while two fangs gleamed in the small light above him.

I was gonna update earlier by finishing chapter 5 and then updating this chap up. But my dog swallowed a sockette (don't know how to spell it) and we had to take him to the vet to get a needle thing to throw it up. He threw it up and on the way home he threw up on me, because the needle stuff was still affecting him. Anyways hope you enjoy. Nex chap will be up once I get enough reviews.

VFMH OUT!
