Chapter 15

The Echidnas Find Out

Knuckles and Julie-Su ran down the hallway towards the room Sonic was staying in. The two echidnas heard a scream emanating from the room the hedgehog was staying inside.

I knew from the moment we fought those robots that something was wrong with Sonic, Knuckles thought.

They ran along the hall as they reached the door to the guest room, Knuckles put his head up to the door. To listen to any noises in the room as well as hear anymore screams from the hedgehog inside. He heard growling and roaring inside as well as a loud smash, like something fell onto the ground and broke.

If he smashed that lamp, he's dead, Knuckles thought.

Knuckles stepped back from the door and got his fists into a punching position.

"Stand back, Su!" Knuckles yelled back to Julie-Su.

Julie-Su took a few steps away from Knuckles as he bounded towards the door and knocked it down. The door fell down to the floor as Knuckles and Julie-Su entered. Once they entered the sight before them petrified them. The entire room was trashed.

The pillows were ripped to shreds with the feathers flying everywhere. The blankets had holes and were torn apart in some places. The lamp was lying on the ground beside the bed with the light-bulb shattered in little pieces on the floor. The bookshelf And desk were tipped over, while all the books were lying on the floor. The pages were torn out of some of the books while others were covered in thick layers of slobber. Knuckles turned to face the window and in front of it was the beast, which destroyed the room.

"Sonic?" Knuckles asked in shock and confusion.

Sonic lifted his head up and stared at them. His emerald eyes glinted an evil mindless presence, while his pupils were slits. Knuckles and Julie-Su stared at the creature in the middle of the room in bewilderment. Sonics' fur had darkened to a midnight blue, while it had grown into a long fur coat. His skin was now light blue instead of its usual peach. His hands revealed long sharp claws at the fingertips, as his arms were full of muscle and covered in thick layers of fur.

His long legs were now short, but he was still tall because of all the muscle along his arms and his body. His feet had sharp claws on the toenails, as they were now a little larger like his hands. His ears were shaped like a wolfs as his quills had a patch at the end which was white.

He snarled at Knuckles and Julie-Su, showing his razor sharp fangs covered in saliva. Knuckles readied his fists just in case Sonic attacked as Julie-Su grabbed her gun from her belt and aimed it at Sonic. Knuckles stepped in front of Julie-Su and lowered his fists to his sides. Julie-Su continued pointing her gun at Sonic, but aimed it at his shoulder.

"Sonic? Is that you?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic snarled at Knuckles' question, baring his fangs once more.

"What happened to you?" Knuckles asked again.

Sonic didn't answer; he just lifted his head up and howled at the full moon. Knuckles and Julie-Su looked shocked at Sonics' response. Sonic lowered himself onto all fours and ran at Knuckles. Knuckles stared at Sonic in shock and surprise.

What's happened to him, Knuckles thought.

"Knuckles! Look out!" Julie-Su shouted.

Knuckles snapped out of his staring trance and jumped out of Sonics' way. Sonic slid across the floor, dragging his claws along the floor. Sonic growled in frustration at Knuckles and Julie-Sus' dodge from his attack. He turned around to face the two echidnas as a bullet rammed into his left shoulder. Sonic yelped in pain as the bullet went through his skin. He turned his attention to the one that had shot him and knew right away it was Julie-Su.

He growled at her and started running towards her. Julie-Su aimed her gun at Sonics' other shoulder as she pulled the trigger and another bullet shot out of the gun and rammed into Sonics' other shoulder. Sonic howled in pain as he stood onto his feet and clutched that shoulder. Julie-Sus' eyes widened in surprise at Sonics' reaction.

That bullet must've hit a nerve or something because he didn't do that with the last bullet, Julie-Su thought.

Sonic took his hand away from where the bullet had hit his shoulder and looked at his hand. He saw red blood all over his hand as he started licking his hand and his wound. His eyes flashed a blood red instead of emerald green. Knuckles and Julie-Su stared in confusion at Sonic.

He's like a mindless animal, Knuckles thought.

Sonic turned to look at the window once he was finished with cleaning the blood from his wound and hand and ran at the window. He jumped through the window, breaking the glass and apart of the window frame. Knuckles and Julie-Su stared in shock at what they saw just happen and what their friend had turned into.

"I don't understand" Julie-Su said. "What was that thing?"

"I think it might've been…" Knuckles stopped for moment, then continued, "…Sonic."

Julie-Su turned to face Knuckles in surprise.

"Why would you think that?" she asked.

"Because when we fought those robots, Sonic, fought a lot more aggressively than usual" Knuckles explained.

"What should we do?" Julie-Su asked.

"Take him down" Knuckles said.

Julie-Sus' expression changed to horror and fright.

"Why?" she asked, suddenly concerned about Sonic.

"Because we can't afford Sonic to destroy anything else like he did to this room. He's been weakened by those bullets from your gun, so maybe we can take him down and then knock him out" Knuckles explained. "We can ring Sally tomorrow and ask her to come up here."

"Should we tell her about Sonic?" Julie-Su asked.

"NO! Sonic can tell her himself in the morning. Right now, we need to think of a way to catch Sonic" Knuckles said.

"Instead of wasting time thinking of a plan to catch Sonic, maybe we should try and stop him first" Julie-Su suggested running through the doorway and down the hallway.

"Su! Wait!" Knuckles yelled after her.

Knuckles started running after Julie-Su as went to find and stop Sonic, before he does anymore damage.
