Chapter 8

Too Big For The Shoes

Wires were connected to Sonic as he lay on the metal table inside the glass dome. A shock collar was placed around his neck as well as a muzzle over his mouth. Robotnik and Snively were looking at Sonics' status' on the computer screen in front of the control panel. Snively walked away from the computer and walked over to the glass door. Naugus stood beside the dome, smiling as he put his hand on the glass.

"It won't be long now, until you're fully unleashed" Naugus said.

"Naugus, I think you should take a look at this" Robotnik called.

Naugus took his hand off of the glass and walked over to Robotnik. Robotnik showed Naugus a screen that revealed Sonics' entire skeletal system. Robotnik pointed his index finger at Sonics' feet. Shown on the screen, Sonics' skeleton looked as if it were growing bigger.

"It looks like his feet are still growing" Robotnik told Naugus.

"He must have just activated the second stage" Naugus said. "His feet will be fully grown once his werewolf side takes him over once more."

Sonic started grumbling as he was starting to wake up. Sonic put his hand on his face.

"Ow, my head" Sonic groaned.

Sonic felt the muzzle on his mouth and his eyes shot open. Sonic sat up on the metal bed and grabbed at his muzzle with his hands.

"What the…" Sonic exclaimed.

Sonic saw all the wires attached to his body and he started ripping them off. Sonics' ear twitched, when he heard a squeal behind him. Sonic turned his head around and he saw Snively in the corner of the dome. He was shaking and looked like he was about to pass out, out of pure fear of Sonic. Sonic snorted at Snively, but then smiled.

Why don't I have a little fun with Snidely, Sonic thought.

Sonic got up off the metal bed and walked over to Snively. A cheeky grin spread across his face, although it was hard to see with the muzzle covering most of his mouth.

"Snively! Get out of there!" Robotnik shouted.

"I…I can't, Sir" Snively cried.

Sonic smiled a toothy grin at Snively, again it cannot be seen because of the muzzle. Sonic kept walking towards Snively, until he was close enough to pick him up. Sonic was careful not to crush Snively, as he had much bigger hands and more strength now. Sonic held Snively by the collar of his shirt with two of his claws. Snively covered his eyes and continued shaking. Sonic kept his toothy smile, but made it wider.

Sonic felt something in the back of his head, telling him to rip this human apart. Sonic grabbed his head with his free hand and held it tightly. Sonic let go of Snively and grabbed his head with that hand. Snively ran over to the glass door as quickly as he could. Sonic dug his claws into his scalp as he roared in pain at the feeling that his mind was a battlefield. Two forces were fighting to control the werehog, one of pure light while the other a sheer piece of darkness. No light can win against dark at night.

Robotnik pressed a button on the control panel and a bolt of electricity surged through Sonics' body from the collar around his neck. Sonics' werewolf side became angry at Robotnik as it took control. Snively opened the door and ran through it as Sonic took his hands away from his head. Sonics' shoes started making ripping noises as they started becoming smaller than his foot size. Sonics' shoes ripped apart as Sonics' feet now showed long sharp claws where the toenails stood. A white puff of fur grew around Sonics' ankles, just like what was around his wrists. Sonics' iris' were still emerald green, but the pupils had turned to slits. Blood flowed down his face from the deep cuts Sonic had implanted with his claws into his skull.

Sonic grabbed his muzzle one last time and yanked it off, while Sonics' other hand ripped the shock collar off from around his neck. Sonics' tongue came out of his mouth and licked the blood on his face. Sonic dropped the collar and muzzle on the ground as he turned his attention to the glass door and ran at it. Just as Snively closed the door, Sonic busted it down. Sonic had put full force into his arms as he knocked the door down with them.

The glass door fell down and landed on Snively. Sonic stood on top of the glass door and started sniffing the air. Sonic looked at Robotnik and Naugus as his attention was caught by them. Sonic lifted his head up and howled at the full moon. The sound of his howl penetrated the silence in the room, soon creating an echo along the metal walls of the building. Sonic lowered his head and looked at Naugus. Naugus smiled at Sonic, Sonic tilted his head sideways in a confused tone. Sonic, then shook his head and snarled at Naugus. Naugus got out his staff and aimed it at Sonic. Sonic lowered himself onto his hands and feet as he ran at Naugus on all fours. Robotnik ran over to Snively and tried getting the door off him. Sonic jumped into the air and was about to attack, but stopped. Naugus held his staff, with the purple Chaos Emerald facing Sonic. Naugus smiled and lowered his staff. Sonic stood in front of Naugus, trying to process why he didn't attack.

"Good boy, now sit and stay" Naugus commanded.

Sonic collapsed onto his hind quarters and stared open eyed at Naugus. Naugus walked over to Robotnik and used the Chaos Emeralds' power to lift the glass door off of Snively. Snively got up off the ground and dusted himself off as Robotnik and Naugus walked back over to Sonic. Sonics' slits returned back to his usual irises, as he realised what he had done. Sonic looked down at himself and he saw that his shoes weren't on his feet anymore. Sonic sighed and looked at Naugus and Robotnik.

"What are you going to do to me?" Sonic asked.

"Nothing…" Naugus answered, "…at least not yet."

Sonic lifted an eyebrow and at the same time gave Naugus and Robotnik a glare. Naugus just smiled at Sonic.

"Do you want to know what is happening to you?" Naugus asked. "Sonic."

"How do you it's me?" Sonic asked.

"Ha, ha, ha, being a werewolf must have its limits" Naugus laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Sonic asked in confusion.

"Do you want me to explain or not?" Naugus asked, still smiling.

"Well, of course" Sonic cried. "But you will want something in return. I can tell."

Sonic folded his arms across his furry chest.

"No, I don't Sonic. But I will simply tell you some parts about being a werewolf" Naugus explained.

"Some parts!" Sonic exclaimed.

Naugus smiled and nodded as he started explaining.

"Werewolves are creatures of the night, as you only transform at night. Werewolves have instincts which are trying to take you over. There are five werewolf stages, until it reaches maturity" Naugus explained.

Maturity? What does he mean by that? I guess I'll find out, Sonic thought.

"You have only activated the first two stages. Extreme hunger and growth. The other three are when you enjoy causing pain and suffering to others, you will regain more wolfish features, like abilities and instincts. The final stage is when the werewolf side is completely mature and will be ready to take you over at night, while your other side won't be ready to fight it. Sonic, seeing as you have already activated two stages, you will lose yourself a lot quicker than we calculated" Naugus explained.

Sonic jumped to his feet and became angry at Naugus.

"No! You're lying!" Sonic roared.

Sonic turned the other way and started walking towards the window.

"Stop! Sit! Stay!" Naugus yelled.

"I'm not your pet!" Sonic shouted.

"Sonic! Stop!" Naugus kept shouting.

Sonic ignored him and jumped out the window. Naugus looked back to Robotnik. Robotnik was scratching his moustache.

I am guessing he will only obey me, when he loses control. He has a strong will, but it will have to get stronger if he doesn't want to hurt his loved ones, Naugus thought.

"Do you have anyone that can track him down?" Naugus asked Robotnik.

"Why, yes, of course" Robotnik answered, with a sinister grin.

"Who?" Naugus asked.

"I will do it, Lord Robotnik" said a voice in the shadows.

"I knew you would want the job" Robotnik said.

"Of course" said the voice. "I want to thank that hedgehog for what he has done to my life."

"Perfect" Naugus said.

The creature hiding in the shadows ran over to the window and jumped out. Following Sonics' scent and tracks.

"He will find that hedgehog" Robotnik told Naugus. "Believe me. He will."

Sweet! I would have to say this is the best chapter to ever explain detail. What about you? So, who do you think this guy who was in the shadows is? But it was pretty funny, when I wrote Naugus say sit and Sonic sat, like a dog. Right? Anyways hope you enjoyed this chap, because next chaps gonna have alot more action in it. I hope.
