Shadow felt as if every bit of warmth coursing through his body had just turned into ice crystals clogging his veins at Sonic's sight. Beside him, Silver seemed to falter for a moment in his steps, too.

"Excuse me, Sire?"

"You have heard my words, trainer! Bring that creature over here so he can be of use at least once in his miserable life – when it ends!" Black Doom hollered, accompanying his command with an imperious swipe of his clawed hand. Sonic noticed quite a few of the watching females (and some males...) suddenly looking sick and leaving the scene, yet others only seeming to get more excited. The hero of Mobius privately made a mental memo of the faces, so when the pitchforked mob would finally storm the castle, he could point them out especially.

"I'm sorry, Sonic...please come on," Silver said to him and the blue hedgehog was surprised to see the other's eyes actually looking pained as the telekinetic hedgehog forced him to take another step forward by pulling at his leash. The younger one beheld Sonic a bit like someone who had lovingly hand-raised a horse foal, tied ribbons into its mare and took it on walks, just to hear the eventual buyer say 'This'll make a lovely salami!'

The blue hedgehog gave his supposed trainer a small smile as he followed the tug easily. "Don't worry, it'll be alright," he replied quietly as they approached the watching audience. Silver didn't seem able to look into his face again.

"Father," Shadow began even while he was actually staring at Sonic (after recovering from his hastily-covered up surprise at seeing Silver), the blue hedgehog feeling those crimson eyes roving all over his body as the pretend Prince apparently checked and double-checked any visible inch of his supposed slave to make sure they really hadn't harmed him. Sonic resisted the urge to do a little twirl, knowing that Black Doom in that case would be likely to have him quartered. Instead, he contented himself by just staring back at Shadow, relishing the outside air and sunshine while his brain was running the usual background calculations; number of potential enemies and combatants around in case of a fight, innocents standing by that would have to be considered, position of exits and things to jump from, room to run, make-shift and actual weapons available, his and Shadow's positions relative to the Big Bad, aka Black Doom, range, possible skill level and aggressiveness of anyone concerned and of course, which stunts he could pull with that haycart that would make him look totally awesome. His conscious thoughts, naturally, were occupied with more important matters.

Uh-huh, I was right. Shadow with a sword does look very hot, actually.

"Father," the black hedgehog started again, this time managing to actually look at the one he was addressing (which was important especially since Sonic now for some reason had assumed that look that Shadow had come to associate with the blue speedster thinking about something tasty of all things), "What is this supposed to be about? I want Sonic be taken back to my quarters, I did not have him go through this training if he's going to get damaged while down here."

"That, Shadow, is not for you to decide," Black Doom retorted, a low threat lying underneath his words like a snake about to strike. "I am your King and as such I will treat both you and your property as I see fit. You have disappointed me. This warrants punishment and sons who fail their father will have their toys taken from them, you should know that."

Sonic and Shadow quickly exchanged a glance. This would be it. They'd have to fight, and fight right now. Sonic was starting to get a little bit apprehensive, mostly due to the fact that Silver's powers could become a real nuisance if he decided to turn them against him while they were also fighting against Black Doom. He just had to hope that maybe he would side with the supposed Prince...
