Chapter 37

Cursed Mobius

Sonic landed on the ground from being thrown out of the portal. It was muddy and wet, like it had just rained. Sonic took his face out of the ground and shook the mud from his face, he then looked around. Sonic gasped and stood up.

"This place it … looks worse than Moebius," Sonic said.

The area Sonic was in was dead. Every plant was dead or dying and the trees were all cut down, but looked like they had been cut down by a vicious animal. Sonic saw the gates to new Mobotropolis and saw they were in ruins, like a creature had knocked them down by force. Sonic gasped again.

"This is the Great Forest," Sonic said. "If the Great Forest looks this bad I can't imagine how horrible Mobotropolis will look like."

Sonic walked through the rest of the Great Forest and walked up to the gates of new Mobotropolis. A shocked and scared expression formed on his face at what was in front of him. All the houses had either fallen apart or were crumbling to the ground. The Castle of Acorn was still standing but was missing chunks of bricks. All the grass was dead and black. Sonic walked through new Mobotropolis' wreck.

"Who could have done this?" Sonic asked himself.

A long, ear-piercing howl caught Sonic's attention.

"I can guess what?" Sonic said.

Sonic was about to run, but two werewolves jumped in front of him, one a deep blood red and the other a crimson orange with two tails. Sonic took a few steps back.

"My guess was correct," Sonic said and gulped.

"A trespasser, the King will like this," the two-tailed one said.

"Yes, he will," the red one said.

These two look familiar ... but how? Sonic thought.

Sonic gasped.

"Tails? Knuckles?" Sonic asked, just above a whisper.

"How do you know our names?" Tails-wolf asked in a snarl.

"Get him! We need to take him to the King," Knuckles-wolf said, jumping at Sonic and biting his arm.

"YOOWWW!" Sonic cried.

Knuckles-wolf pulled Sonic and he fell off his feet. Sonic landed on his stomach and Knuckles-wolf started dragging Sonic to the destroyed castle. Tails-wolf led the way while Knuckles-wolf drug Sonic. Sonic closed his eyes trying to stop himself from crying out in pain.

As they reached the throne room, another werewolf sat in one of the throne chairs and she was a deep brown with blood red hair. This one Sonic recognised straight away.

"Sally?" Sonic cried.

Knuckles-wolf took Sonic by his arms and threw him in front of Sally-wolf. She looked down at him and saw the bite mark on his arm and then saw his appearance. Sally-wolf growled and looked the other way.

"Your majesty, we found him trespassing in the city," Knuckles-wolf said.

"Yes, I can see that. You two do realise this hedgehog looks like the King don't you!" Sally-wolf snarled.

Both Tails-wolf and Knuckles-wolf nodded their heads.

"That means he comes from another zone," Sally-wolf said.

"What shall we do with him?" Tails-wolf asked.

"We do nothing," growled a voice from the stairway.

Sonic turned his head to look at who had spoken and saw it was himself. It was this Mobius' version of him, except he was in his werehog form. Sally-wolf got up off the throne chair and walked over to Sonic-wolf. Sally-wolf was wearing a dinted crown and so was Sonic-wolf as well as a red cape that had rips and tears in it.

"Are you sure?" Sally-wolf asked.

"Yes," Sonic-wolf smiled and looked at Sonic.

Sonic glared at his counterpart and clenched his teeth. Sonic-wolf walked over to the throne where Sonic was lying in front of and got down on one knee. His clawed toes were poking into Sonic's nose.

"I know exactly what we can do with him," Sonic-wolf said.

Sonic-wolf smiled, evilly and Sonic continued his glare.

"Sorry, but I ain't doing anything for the likes of you!" Sonic growled.

Sonic-wolf laughed and grabbed Sonic's arm. He pointed a claw at Sonic's injury and pointed out that it was healing.

"Don't you know what you are now?" he asked, obviously pleased with what his counterpart was going through.

"Yes, I know, and I don't like people pointing it out to me in my face!" Sonic snarled, taking his arm out of Sonic-wolf's hold.

Sonic-wolf smiled wider, showing his fangs.

"Do you remember that night when you were bitten?" he asked.

"Yes, I do and I wish I could forget it!" Sonic said, bitterly.

"Well, do you know which werewolf out of all the werewolves on this Mobius did it?" Sonic-wolf asked.

"No, but …" Sonic stopped himself when he realised why Sonic-wolf was asking him these questions. "YOU DID IT!"

Sonic-wolf grinned evilly.

"I try my best," he said, calmly.

"YOU TURNED ME INTO A MONSTER!" Sonic shouted.

"On the contrary, I gave you a gift," he said.

"NO! YOU GAVE ME A CURSE!" Sonic yelled.

Sonic-wolf growled and picked Sonic up by his neck and slammed him into the floor. He pinned Sonic there and snarled in his face.

"I gave you a gift that would help you defeat your enemies, but you are defying the actual reason why you need it," Sonic-wolf growled.

Sonic struggled to get out of Sonic-wolf's grip, but he was too strong. Sonic-wolf let go of Sonic and stood back up.

"Put Him In The Castle Dungeon Until He Realises How Useful This … Curse Is!" Sonic-wolf ordered Knuckles-wolf and Tails-wolf.

They nodded and walked over to Sonic and grabbed his arms. Sonic smiled and did a back flip as they picked him up. He threw Knuckles-wolf and Tails-wolf against the castle wall and Sonic turned to Sonic-wolf; who was fuming.

"The curse must have drained your brain of remembering that speed is better than strength. Sorry I can't stay and chat, but I gotta run," Sonic exclaimed and ran out of the castle.

Sonic-wolf had steam coming out of his moon shaped ears and his hands were clenched into fists, drawing blood.

"GUARDS! GO OUT THERE AND FIND THAT HEDGEHOG! AND BRING HIM BACK HERE! ALIVE!" Sonic-wolf shouted at the top of his lungs at a bunch of werewolf guards down the hall.

They nodded and got onto all fours and ran after Sonic. Sonic-wolf growled in annoyance and slammed a fist in the wall.

"Sonic, are you okay?" Sally-wolf asked.

"I'm fine! It's just … when I was called into his zone and I smelled the air. His aura was so … strong. Stronger than mine. I can tell that he will be very useful with helping us destroy and taking over the rest of Mobius," Sonic-wolf said.
