Chapter 41
The Plan
"H … Hey, I'm not King Sonic. I'm Prime Sonic," Sonic said.
"Yeah, right," Vector said.
Julie-Su ran in front of them.
"No, he really is. Remember, King Sonic doesn't have a mobian form anymore," Julie-Su told them.
They lowered their stance and nodded.
"So, what's going on?" Vector asked.
"We've explained to Sonic about what happened here and at first he flipped out," Robotnik explained.
"I DIDN'T FLIP OUT! I WAS JUST SHOCKED AT WHAT HE DID!" Sonic shouted at Robotnik.
Robotnik laughed.
"I've sort of missed teasing a Sonic," Robotnik said.
"You missed a Sonic?" Sonic asked, pointing at Robotnik.
"Only the teasing part," Robotnik said.
Sonic folded his arms and looked irritably at Robotnik.
"Mmhmm," Sonic muttered.
A noise came from the computer and Julie-Su ran over to it.
"Yes, we're in," she cried.
"Julie-Su, what are you doing?" Vector asked.
He got his answer when a DNA double helix appeared on the computer screen.
"Is that what I think it is?" Mighty asked in awe.
"It sure is. The DNA of a werewolf," Julie-Su told him.
Sonic gaped at the DNA in shock. It was a much better picture than the one they got at Mobotropolis in his zone.
"Th … That's the way my DNA looks now?" Sonic asked in slight fear.
"Wait! YOU'RE INFECTED!" Vector cried.
Sonic sighed and nodded his head in shame.
"Yes, I am. That werewolf version of me did it to me. Cursed me. Now I'm a … a monster," Sonic said.
They all looked at each other and Robotnik went over to Sonic.
"Is there any other information you want?" he asked.
Sonic thought for a while, then, he nodded.
"What is it?" Robotnik asked.
"Is there a cure?" Sonic asked.
They all shook their heads and Sonic's ears drooped and he held his head low.
"Oh," Sonic said.
He collapsed on the ground and looked at his knees.
"I might as well turn in my Freedom Fighter status and have it destroyed while I'm still me," he said.
Julie-Su ran over to Sonic and lay a hand on his shoulder.
"Sonic, just because there's no cure, doesn't mean you still can't fight it. One day, you'll get you're old life back, just look forward to the positive," she told him.
"Yeah, the old Sonic we knew always looked to the positive, never to the negative, that si until he was...," Vector said.
"That is true," Espio said, appearing from behind Vector.
Vector got a fright and jumped.
"STOP DOING THAT!" he yelled.
Espio shrugged it off. Sonic looked at them and nodded.
"You're right, I'm giving up too easily and too soon. Robotnik what other information is there about it?" Sonic asked.
"Only the information from what we've already learned about werewolves and what's from your DNA," he answered.
"Perfect, tell me everything," Sonic said.
"Okay," Robotnik walked back over to the computer and typed some things on it.
Sonic got up off the floor and walked up beside him.
"So, we were right, you have activated stage four and are up to stage three of maturity," Robotnik said.
Sonic nodded.
"Okay, is there any useful information though?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. Werewolves cannot stand silver weapons. If they are stabbed into a werewolf the cut will heal slowly and it will also burn for while. Silver is also the only thing that can kill a werewolf and…" Robotnik cut himself off.
"And what?" Sonic asked.
"Is the only cure," Robotnik answered.
"What's the only cure?" Sonic asked, hope in his voice.
"Killing a werewolf is also the only cure," Robotnik said.
Sonic's ears drooped again.
"Oh," Sonic said.
"Because once a werewolf dies it reverts back to its original form," Robotnik said.
"Well, that's just great! The only cure there is and I have to die to get it!" Sonic exclaimed, obviously upset.
"And Sonic I have good news for you," Robotnik said.
"Good news! What could obviously be good about it!" Sonic cried.
"When I was watching the wound heal where the bullet had gone, I saw that the bullet pierced the black part of your heart. That means you might have an upper hand to this curse now," Robotnik explained.
"Really! Oh thank Mobius!" Sonic said.
"But you should also still fight the curse when it's the full moon so you don't lose control," Robotnik told Sonic. "And didn't you say something about a spatial distortion?"
"Yeah, I heard of a prophecy about me on it. I'm guessing it has something to do with me getting bitten by a werewolf from another zone and turning into a werehog," Sonic answered.
"We don't know anything about that, you will have to ask the people in your zone who know it," Robotnik told Sonic.
Sonic nodded.
"So, I guess this information is good enough," Sonic said.
"Anyways, Sonic, can you help us just for a little while?" Robotnik asked.
"Sure, with what?" Sonic asked.
"Can you help us infiltrate Castle Acorn? We need to know what King Sonic is up to and we also need to know if he has any weaknesses other than silver," Robotnik said.
Sonic furrowed his brows and nodded.
"Good, we'll need your speed for it," Robotnik said.
"The plan is that you and me go into Castle Acorn as trespassers, then we try and find any sort of weakness to King Sonic that will end his rule," Julie-Su told Sonic.
"Did you two plan this while I was unconscious?" Sonic asked.
Robotnik and Julie-Su nodded.
"What do we do?" Vector asked.
"Vector: you monitor us from here, using the computer and the security cameras to know when we're in trouble. Mighty and Espio: you two will stay at the edge of Angel Island with binoculars to see when we're coming back. Once we're below the edge of Angel Island throw down a rope for us to climb up. Robotnik: if Vector needs any help with the computer, help him," Julie-Su explained.
Sonic smiled at them.
"Okay, lets do it!' Sonic exclaimed.
WHOA! Sonic's staying even longer in this zone now. He's gonna help them infiltrate castle Acorn. Wonder what will happen? No, seriously I wonder. I haven't started on that chapter yet, I've been busy with other fanfics and stories and video games.
VFMH OUT!
