Hey faker

Chapter 1

Bright light blinded me as the door opened slowly. I squinted. Grimacing after being inside for too long. A weight then left my wrist and ankles. I looked down and saw that my chains were gone. A sharp pain hit the side of my head. I looked back at eggman rubbing my head and feeling something tiny lodged into it.

Eggman held up a small like remote object and held it up "if you run off,or try to help anyone, you will be punished.stay out of sight shadow and metal will follow to just in case my tracker fails"

I stared at him blinking, confused. Whatever was happening I knew it was going to be bad... but my legs were itching to move so faced the door again, waited till my eyes adjusted to the brightness, and with deep breath, heart pumping.. I took off.

Everything felt so wonderful. The breeze, the feeling of my feet hitting the earth, the smell of fresh air, trees and grass. I couldn't help but feel joyful. I knew I'd see something awful, but right now...right now it didn't matter.

I just need one moment, one moment I pleaded one moment and I'll be okay.

I twisted around a couple of trees, grin spreading on my face, and saw metal come up to my left, and shadow on my right, looking straight ahead.

"...hey faker!" I called, an idea popped in my head and a grin on my face widening. "How's about a race.., for old times sake?"

I didn't let him respond,and boosted off immediately at full speed. Nothing like a race to beat back the old blues I thought

It didn't last long though. A sudden searing pain in the side of my head caused me to loose focus for a moment, and my foot caught on something stuck on the ground, which resulted me in plummering down the side of the hillside, hitting a couple of trees, landing on my back, finding the end and sprawled on the ground like a star fish, world spinning for a moment. I lay there, gasping and letting the thropping pain in my everywhere pass slightly. The slight smell of some reached to my nose and shadow and metal came in my view looking at me.

"Well" shadow said, folding his arms with a slight smirk. "That was rather embarrassing. For you.atleast"

Metals claws sunk in me and put me up harsly. I grimmanced, and felt the weight of my cuffs returning to my hands and ankles.

Well... so much for that I thought bitterly

I pulled my arms away, earning a few scratches from metals claws as I glared at the two,and looked down at the world below o stood.

My heart dropped on the ground as horror struck me,shadow and metal no longer existing around me, with my surroundings

Below were billions of burned, smothering, buildings and homes, fires in every alley, every street. Robots, gigantic ones fired at everything that moved, crushing things with their feet and shaking the floor. It was like a very vivid nightmare. It was like before I didn't belive the world was actually being destroyed, but now... there was proof, there was proof right before my very eyes.

I fell to my knees, I didn't have anything else to do or say. I was so close, I couldn't go help them, I was right there! But then I was reminded of my heavy cuffs,of my imprisonment, of the enemies that surrounded me. I was reminded I was no help to anyone in chains, under constant watch,for as long as I could see.

I felt a presence come to my side, I didn't need to look Who it was. Nor did I want to.

"It's glorious" Eggman said with admiration

"Soon,all the world would be mine. There's nothing to stop me or ruin my plans. The one who used to do so," he looked down at me with an evil grin "is now trapped" I felt him lean to my ear "wheres their hero now,sonic?"

I had no answer. I had so many emotions inside of me. If I opened my mouth it would all come out. So I simply stared at the city below.

Eggman chuckled and rose bsck to full height

"Escort him back" he instructed someone "and meet me back in the city,we still have a lot to do"

Once again someone had grasped my Arm and lifted me up. I didn't bother fighting against him, let him lead me away,half limping because of my sore ankles from my previous fall. I kept my eyes ahead and dazed. Kept my mouth in a straight. Hard line. I wasn't going to risk anything... not now.

—-some time later

The bars slammed shut once I had shuffled back, I heard shadow walking away without a word. I stood there, silent, staring at the ground , trying keep my self under control, the imagine was still fresh in my mind.

Nothing can stop me . Eggman had said. Nothing.

"...sonic?" A robotic voice spoke gently, orbot

" I saw what he was doing" I croaked after a second "what...what I'm not stopping. How did this happen....?" My numbness disappeared. In place of it was guilt and grief. I rose my arms slightly and squinted my eyes at the chains "how..." I finnally turned and looked over at him slowly. "It was awful to watch this, all thoose innocent lives...he's....he's killing"- I gulped. "..with or without knowing I don't know." I flicked my eyes onto to the floor and back at his face "...does he know?"

Orbot looked away from me shyly wringling his hands

I stared back at the ground,trying to push down what ever was trying to come up. I thought, not she of what but I did.

"Could you do me a favour cubot" I Finnaly quietly. "This might be against your coding or programming... or what ever it is, but it would be a huge help"

Orbot met my eyes and nodded at once.

I smiled a bit— something I knew I wouldn't do for a long while. "If you hear anything about my friends, or any some form of resistance, tell me.even if it's small or unimportant to you or Eggman. It would help me get through this I know it will."

Orbot hesisted for a moment "I-I-I will try my best."

Some heavy weight in my chest lifted slightly.

"Thanks" I said

He nodded at me and turned to me. Another thought came to me.

"Don't tell Cubot!" I Called after him quickly. "He might let something slip accidently"

He turned to me "don't worry, I won't tell a soul" he put up his hand as if he was taking a oath or something and left.

Exhaustion filled me then. I gave a stifled yawn and went to sit on the bench.

Better than on the floor. I thought as I creaked. As if to remind me it wasn't a bed or a branch up in the tree, but a thin slab of cold and hard metal.

I leaned my head again the wall and stared into nothing until darkness fell upon me, and the soft humming had disappeared from my ears, lulling me to sleep.

My last thought was the world beyond the cell a world awaiting a hero..
