"When is she going to wake up?" The intruder fretted, "Is she actually dead?"

"She's not dead!" The figure snapped, "You know I would know if she was dead."

The intruder nodded. "But she's been passed out for so long," he pointed out, "could you just check?"

Suddenly, the (a/t)'s head shot up and looked around. The onlookers immediately fell silent and watched intensely.

"Hello?" The (a/t) called, her voice raspy, "Is anyone here?" She tried to stand up then realized she was tied down.

"Oh no," Hasheem's voice echoed across the mostly empty warehouse, "(y/n)? Why did you let him get you?"

"Hasheem?" (Y/n) called back, "Are you talking about Mephiles? Aren't you working with him? Where are you?"

"We're behind the boxes on your left," (e/n) snarled, "and we weren't working with him by choice!"

"How was he forcing you to assist him?" (Y/n) asked, leaning forward as much as she could in her chair.

"I believe he has the power to-"

"Silence!"

Hasheem's voice was abruptly cut off as Mephiles appeared in a heap of dark smoke in front of (y/n).

The intruder and the figure exchanged a glance before looking back to the scene.

(Y/n) glared up at Mephiles. "What do you want?" She demanded, "Let me go!"

"What I want with you is not important at the moment," Mephiles spoke, beginning to walk around (y/n)'s chair.

"Cliché motherfucker..." The figure muttered bitterly.

"All I want from you right now is to lead Shadow the Hedgehog here," Mephiles continued, "Once he is dead, my plans with you can commence."

(Y/n) scoffed. "You think you could defeat Shadow?" She asked skeptically, "I highly doubt it, it won't only be him either. My friends will fucking kill you."

Mephiles stopped directly behind (y/n) where she couldn't see him, and gave her a look resembling sympathy. "Poor little (a/t), you think your friends will come to your rescue?" he said mockingly, "Why would they help you when they have their own problems?"

Doubt began melting into (y/n)'s face but was quickly replaced by determination. "Shadow will still show up, and kick your fucking ass."

Mephiles laughed. "You have so much faith in him don't you?" He snickered, "If you trust him so much, why did you reject him?"

That made (y/n) go silent for a long time, her expression showing that she really wasn't sure why.

Mephiles gazed at (y/n) mockingly before the ropes holding her to the chair abruptly fell. (Y/n) was quick to stand up and throw a punch at Mephiles. He teleported away and reappeared behind (y/n), she immediately swung her hand back, back-handing him in the face.

Mephiles showed no reaction and grabbed (y/n) by the wrist, he easily threw her into the cell next to Hasheem and (e/n), who watched with horrified expressions.

While (y/n) struggled to her feet, Mephiles locked the door to the cell and stared triumphantly at the (f/c) (a/t).

She glared back and stayed at the back of the cell. Mephiles tilted his head at her. "Scared?" He asked mockingly, "Don't worry, I won't make you see his death."
