Sonadow - King and his slave

Part 20

"You found him?!" Sonic and Mephiles yelled out at the same time. Sir Espio nodded fast and looked at the kings.

"Yes, we did. It was actually really easy to find him," he said.

"Tell them what you just told us," Knuckles said. Espio nodded again.

"I was in the village with sir Vector and sir Charmy and we noticed that green hedgehog, the slave dealer, mr. Scourge so we decided to follow him secretly because we knew he had some odd businesses going on. He led us straight into duke Eggman's hiding place. We even saw the duke himself too!" Sonic and Mephiles turned to look at each others quickly. They both knew what the other was thinking so there was no disagreeing about the next command.

"Blaze, Knuckles. We're leaving right away. Make sure we have all the knights we need being ready to attack when they get a signal," Mephiles said. Blaze and Knuckles both nodded fast and rushed out of the room with sir Espio behind them. Sonic turned to look at Tails and Silver, both still standing on the doorway.

"Tails, take Silver with you to the library room and do us a fake deed of assignment where I and king Mephiles hand over our kingdoms to duke Eggman. Be quick but meticulous," Sonic said.

"Yes, my king," Tails said with a smile and left the room with the silvery hedgehog walking right behind him.

"So it begins.." Mephiles muttered quietly. Sonic nodded slightly and looked at him.

"Yes.. Let's hope everything goes well.." Sonic said, mostly to himself as attempt to try to calm his nerves. He was feeling really stressed and worried and he had a bad feeling about this all. And that only made him stress and worry even more.

"Let's go get ready, Sonic. I promise that this all will be over soon.." Mephiles said and walked towards the door. Sonic sighed softly and followed the older king, really hoping that would be the case and both Amy and Shadow were alright at the moment..

Everything was black again. But this time Shadow could hear more than just one voice. Those voices were male voices and they were talking to each others. Sometimes Shadow was able to hear his own name being said by someone. Both voices sounded very familiar to him. He opened his eyes tiny bit and started to blink them slowly. Everything was blurry but he could somehow see some figures moving in front of him.

"Hey, he's waking up!"

"Hah, finally.. I can play with my little prince a little now..~"

"Save that to the moment when those kings are here. Try to focus, even for once, Scourge!"

"You're such a partypooper, Eggy.."

"I told you not to call me with that name!"

"Heh heh, calm your eggs, duke."

"Scourge, I'm warning you.."

"Jeez.. Alright. I'm sooooo sorry, my master."

"Hmph, I forgive you, this one time.."

"Thank you, you're sooooooo kind, my master~"

"Now you're just annoying me.."

"Heh..~"

"Hmph, nevermind. Did you do what I asked you to do earlier..?"

"If you mean leading those knights here, then yes, I did it. The kings will be here soon, I promise, duke Eggman."

"Hohoho, excellent. I can finally get my revenge and those kingdoms to myself..~"

"Remember what you promised to me, duke."
