Chapter 9: Triple's Torture, Part 1

Tails Doll enters Knothole, his gem green as he whistles a happy tone before he hears tapping feet and he turns around to see Tails glaring at him and his gem goes from orange to yellow.

"What's with the knife in your hands?" asks Tails glaring at his friend and T.D hides the knife behind his back and rams it into his back and holds his now empty hands as his gem turns yellow.

"What knife?" said T.D innocently and Tails walks over and removes the knife from T.D's back and glares at him.

"This knife! What are you doing with it?!"

T.D's gem goes blue before he looks away.

"I used it to scare Robotnik and Snively. I didn't kill anybody, honest. I just terrorized them. I can't help it...it's a part of who I am...I...I'm just a monster in a doll." said T.D before he started crying. Tails threw the knife away into the nearby bushes unaware of a certain masked man holding his tail in pain as he hopped around like a monkey. Tails approached T.D but the doll flew away.

"I'm sorry Tails! I'm not the kind of friend you want!" said T.D flying away and hiding.

Tails looks after T.D and then he feels a hand on his shoulder and he looks to see Eggman and he jumps a little.

"Not used to me being a good guy right?" asked Eggman with a smile and Tails nods, "Nobody is. Anyway, T.D is kind of confused. He likes you, but his more...sadistic side makes it a problem for him to have friends. Back home, he was feared so much nobody would come near him and now that he's here he has friends but he doesn't want to hurt them and sees himself as a monster even though he uses that form to defend his friends. Find him and then try to cheer him up, okay Tails?"

Tails nods and then looks around.

"Where's Triple?"

"The three-tailed fox? He said he was going on a walk but that was an hour ago...something's not right. Find Klaww." said Eggman running over to his hovership, getting in and taking off. Tails then zooms off to find Klaww.

Meanwhile; Village under attack by Robotnik...

[Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Boss theme plays]

Triple watched from the cover of the trees as Robotnik's forces attacked a small village which was trying to fight back but were losing badly as Swatbots mercilessly shot down any who tried to fight.

Pulling out a 45. caliber handgun, he takes aim and pulls the trigger blowing off a Swatbot's head from 75 feet away. Triple starts shooting off Swatbot heads left and right until a massive crab-like robot drops down in front of him with Robotnik at the controls.

"Stupid little fox! I'm gonna crush you!" said Robotnik swing the giant robotic claws at Triple who dodged them before he fired three Plasma blasts from his tails, each hitting the crab-bot. The fight continues for a good ten minutes before the crab-bot falls down, defeated...or so Triple thought. One of the claws then shoots forward and grabs Triple before he is thrown into a small cage.

"Let me out! Let me out!" screamed Triple pounding against the walls.

"Sounds like he's claustrophobic." said Scratch V2 looking at the cage. Scratch V2 looked like a more evil version of his predecessor due to the sharp edges on his beak, wing-like arms, and tail feathers, along with the spikes going down his back.

"So what?! Take him back to base and prepare him for the Torture and Interrogation Program." said Robotnik getting into a hovership followed by Scratch V2 carrying the cage and the ship took off.

A few minutes after liftoff Eggman's hovership appears on scene and switches to stealth mode so he can follow his past self.

"Drat! I really hate my past self for whatever he has planned and knowing me it can't be good!" muttered Eggman.

Robotropolis; 1 Hour Later...

Triple awoke to find himself hanging from chains and he looked around before he noticed bear-trap like devices near his tails and he grimaced at what they are for before the door in front of him opens and Robotnik enters.

"Ah good. You're awake. Now then, please spare me the time of having to torture you until you spill the beans and just tell me where Knothole is and I might let you go." said Robotnik putting his finger under Triple's chin.

*CHOMP!*

"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" screamed Robotnik as he lost a finger to Triple who smirked with blood running down his fur around his mouth.

"Make me Buttnik!" said Triple still smirking.

"Give me back my finger!"

*GULP!*

"What finger?" said Triple with an even bigger smirk and Robotnik paled.

"SNIVELY! ACTIVATE TAIL TRAP NUMBER 1!" yelled Robotnik.

*SNAP!*

"AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" screamed Triple as his left tail was crushed in the bear-trap like device and he looked at Robotnik with hate.

"You'll...regret this...Buttnik." said Triple through the pain.

"TRAP NUMBER TWO!"

*SNAP!*

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"

"All you have to do is tell me where Knothole is."

Triple spits in Robotnik's face and puts on a pained smirk.

"I'd rather die."

"That can be arranged. TRAP NUMBER THREE!"

*SNAP!*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *echoes*"

Meanwhile; Great Forest...

Klaww is lounging against a tree when pained screaming reaches his ears and his eyes snap open and he gets up.

"Triple?" said Klaww before he saw Eggman's hovership land in front of him and the doctor walked out.

"Is this a bad time?" said Eggman sweating up a storm.

"No. Why?" said Klaww crossing his arms.

"Triple's been captured by Robotnik and...he's being tortured..."

"How do you know?"

"I hacked the camera in the room...and well...look." said Eggman pulling monitor into view and Klaww's eyes widen.

*SNAP!*

"AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Triple as the traps were slammed on his tails all at once for the fifth time.

Klaww's fists clenched as rec-black lightning began dancing around and his eyes went from their usual demonic red to demonically hellfire red and Eggman cowered behind the door of his ship.

*DEMONIC ROAR!*

Klaww spread his wings and took off for Robotnik's city.
