The hover craft landed in the forbidden zone; a wasted terrain that only a few Mobians dared to cross. Dr. Robotnik stepped out unto the ground , Snively followed closed behind. "Sir...." He squeaked out. "Is this were it's suppose to be?" "Yes Snively," Robotnik replied in a harsh whisper. "Many centuries ago in Mobius there was a man named Kefkain, a man much like myself, wanting the powers of the chaos Emeralds. But while seeking them he became cursed, with Eternal Life. One might not think that a curse if not for he must forever live and drink the blood of living beings. Damned forever away from Sunlight." "But what does this have to due with Mount neverglow sir?" "It is also said that the crystal that he guards would be hidden where no light shall shine. The forbidden zone is the only part of Mobius besides the underground that light never shines upon." "Sir, but why must we get that crystal? if it is Important, wouldn't Kefkain be guarding it?!" Robotnik grabbed Snively and shook him wildly. "Stupid dolt! he guards one of the fabled 8 Dark Chaos Emeralds.! Kain cannot be real! When this world was cleansed of all living beings those million years ago, Kefkain surly died with them." "But you said he was immortal...." Snively felt Robotnik's hand tighten it's grip on his shirt. He knew now was a good time to shut up. Robotnik entered the mountain via an opening just west of where they landed. Somehow Snively convinced Robotnik he would wait outside. Countless hours Robotnik spent inside the mountain, finally he had reached a large open area illuminating which a strange gray glow. Slowly he advanced on it until before his eyes was the black Chaos emerald. "At last," he whispered and reached for it. Suddenly something from behind struck him. "Mortal Robotnik, discontinue your acts here and depart." "Who dares speak to Doctor Ivo Robotnik in such a way?!" He roared. Then the strange ghostly voice laughed. "Foolish one. You remind me of myself those million years ago." Suddenly a white Wolf with red eyes appeared. "I am Kefkain, or what was his soul forever damned to live among the living as the unliving. Do not take the Emerald Dr. Robotnik. Or I shall be forced to punish you." "What can you do Spirit? HAUNT ME?!" Robotnik grabbed the Emerald and started to walk away. The Wolfs eyes began to glow, as a snarl slowly formed on his lips. "You have been warned Robotnik!" The wolf lunged at him, attaching his claws into Robotnik's back, then moved his head close and started to chant...... * * * Snively waited outside of the cave for over 3 hours. When suddenly he heard a sonic boom from the distance. Sonic the Hedgehog was coming..... "Its the hedgehog!" Snively gasped, he was about to turn and flee when he saw Dr. Robotnik appear from the cave, he moved slowly and what seemed like he was dazed. "D...Dr. Robotnik?" Snively whispered. "Snively..." Robotnik croaked out calmly. "That is Sonic isn't it?" "Yes Sir, that is why we must flee!" "Too Late Snive!' Sonic interrupted, he smiled his prize wining heroic grin. "You and Robuttnik are going down!" Sonic looked up at him expecting a glare, but he got no response. "Hey what's up with ol' Buttnik? Did he see himself in a mirror?" Sonic burst out in laughter. "Hedgehog...you have no idea how much my next action repulses me yet will bring me much delight!" Sonic didnt have time to reply to the Doctor. Nor did he have time to blink, in those small moments which was not nearly enough for even sonic to repeat Robotniks actions, he was behind Sonic and picked him up to his face. Before Sonic could even scream he felt Robotnik brush like whiskers massage against his quills and felt Robotnik's rasp like breathing on his neck bring chills. "W...what are you doing?!" Sonic screamed, struggling under Robotnik's grasp, he tried to break it but it seemed impossible. "At last the thirst will be quenched!" Robotnik screeched and with that he moved Sonic's head away exposing his neck and finally biting into it. Sonic again screamed feeling his flesh pierced and the now draining of his blood into the welcoming lips of Robotnik. Snively watched on from the ground he collapsed on when Sonic's Gore started to spew out from the large wound the 'good' doctor made. Finally Robotnik dropped Sonic and fell to his knees gasping for breath, a bloody grin on his face. Sonic tumbled down and laid there clenching his bleeding neck and looking at Robotnik with fear filled eyes. Sonic crawled back, trembling and almost convulsing. He slowly rose to his feet and in a blast of light, ran, for the first time....In fear of Doctor Ivo Robotnik. * * * Sonic reached the great forest in a matter of minutes at the rate he was going. His gloves were covered in his gore and he tried hard to keep himself from bleeding to death. While holding his cut neck he entered the forest and stumbled to Knothole. . . Sonic knew of the fallen log near by but with so much pain blocking his thoughts he paid no heed. Until he tripped and the large heavy log rolled and crushed his ankle, he let everyone know he was wounded by now... indeed, all the great forest heard the scream he let out. When Princess Sally and some rookie freedom fighters came to investigate the screamed they found a wounded, unconscious, and bleeding near death hedgehog. "Sonic!" She yelled as they ran up to him. He gave no response, Sally quickly told the others to stop the bleeding while she and others removed the log. Within moments they had stabilized Sonic enough where they can get him to knothole to be treated properly. * * * Sonic was taken to the knothole doctor while the veteran freedom fighters watched in horror and gazed at the pools of blood Sonic spilled.... Hours of surgery and close surveillance showed signs that Sonic would live. In fact he was strangely healing very quickly. His crushed ankle was partly cured "at the rapid rate of healing," the doctor told sally "he should have his ankle working in no time flat! One day tops!" "How can this be doctor?" The other freedom fighters asked in unison. "I don't know," the raccoon doctor walked back to his seat and gazed into a monitor, he did a small double take then looked back at the freedom fighters. "Why don't you go see him. He's awake now..." Sally, Bunny, Tails, rotor, and Antoine nodded and went into the next room, Sonic laid on the white clean sheeted bed, his eyes slightly opened and peering at the ceiling. Sally walked up to him and placed her hand on his. He slowly turned to her and smiled. "Well hello there Sonic, how you feeling?" She whispered. "Truthfully Sal, I have had better days." He whispered back, Sally couldn't shake the feeling of repulse at Sonic's Strange paleness and Cold cold touch. But she most likely figured it was because of the loss of blood. "Well truthfully Sonic, you LOOK like you've had better days. But don't worry, we're here to comfort you." "We?" Asked Sonic. Only moments before he realized that others were there. "Oh...hi gang." He smiled. Tails came running up to him and hugged Sonic tightly, who welcomed him with his own hug. Tails pulled away a moment later. His fur was slightly raised. Sonic noticed and asked what was wrong. "Sonic, your so cold...." He replied. "I am? I don't feel cold little bro. . ." Bunny then went and touched Sonic with her furry hand, she pulled back and whooped. "Whoo wee! Sugar hog you as cold as a northern Mobian hospitality to a southern Mobian in the old civil war!!" Sonic was gonna say something when Rotor shoved a thermometer into his mouth. A few minutes later he removed it and read it. "Holy cow! 39.6! How can that be?! Sonic isn't even shaking!" "I feel fine really!" He whispered "Just need some rest. . ." just then uncle chuck came running in. "Sonic I heard about you! Are you..." he stopped short when he saw Sonic's Paleness. "Sonic..." This made sonic frown. "Did you people come by to hurt me? Get out all of you!" He grumbled. Sally started to protest when Sonic hit himself from the nearby table and cut himself on the finger. They all seemed to watch as a single drop of blood dripped down. Sonic's eyes widen, he placed his finger in his mouth and sucked the fallen blood away. . .but he didnt stop there. . .everyone watched as Sonic started to suck on his finger, biting into it, drawing more blood. "Sonic," Sally grabbed his hand "stop this!" "No!" He replied. "Sally, so thirsty . . ." he looked at the others "I need it Sal, its sweet, go leave me alone, I don't want you to see this.." "Sonic were going to help you in anyway we can. Just tell us what you need." Sonic wished she hadn't said that, as a strong feeling of lust and anger rose. He almost leaped from his bed to Sally. He yelled at her, he screamed with such a cold hiss even the other freedom fighters backed away. "Leave me alone!" He screeched "I'll kill you!" He stopped before he could say anything else, and gazed into Sally's shocked eyes. "Please leave me alone." She looked at his bleeding finger, and went and took a bandage from a table and wrapped it up. She kissed his forehead and motioned everyone to leave. "We'll come back later Sonic." * * * A day later Sonic had gotten out of his bed and started to pace. A Strange gnawing hunger kept his mind burning. He had declined numerous offers of Chili dogs, that wasn't what he craved.... He didnt know what he wanted, only that the hunger was getting worst. Sonic retired to his room with all the windows shut. Some freedom fighters began to worry for him, but others were worried about the strange silence on Robotropolis. Uncle Chuck had found information that Robotnik was de-Roboticizing allot of animals. Later he discovered that the bodies were found drained of all their blood. Charles expected Robotnik was doing some sort of horrible experiments. . . A week passed, a week of horrible pain for Sonic and those who had to cope with knowing they were helpless to stop it. Sonic shut himself away from all the others, when asked if he needed help, he would scream for the person to leave. Night was when Sonic sometimes left his hut. He would pace around holding his stomach and occasionally vomiting out any form of solid food. Anytime someone would come close to him, he'd back away and run back to his hut. Nights seemed to be coming faster around the world....The eternal blist of darkness took over for one whole day. Somehow the most paranoid people of knothole knew this was connected to Sonic. * * * Robotropolis was darker then normal this day/night. Sir Charles hedgehog was in his secret hide out viewing into Robotnik's domain. "At last" uncle chuck said to himself. "I can see what Robotnik is finally up to he saw Robotnik sitting on his control chair facing away from Chucks camera. "Snively. . . have we picked any more non-robot forms today?" Snively shook as he walked up to his master. "N..no Master.... The freedom Fighters have been extremely quiet since the day with the hedgehog." "No doubt Sonic either perished or is now like myself." He leaned back. "I rather did enjoy doing that to him. . . speaking of which...." "Yes m'lord, I will de-roboticize another animal." Robotnik grinned as Snively left. Chuck placed a CD into a slot in his hideout and pressed record. Moments later Snively, followed by two SWAT bots came in holding a purple female hedgehog. "What a fitting species, leave her here and go and tend to your duties." "Yes sir." Snively turned away and left. The Swat bots dropped the weak, naked teenage hedgehog and left. The girl shakily got up and stared at Robotnik's leering face. He slowly rose and advanced on the lass. Her whimpers and cries only seem to flare his wanting to touch and drain her. The hedgehog tried to run but Robotnik was faster, he grabbed her by the arm and laughed. He went back to his chair and placed the hedgehog on his lap while gripping both her arms with his metallic left hand. Slowly he touched her stomach, the hedgehog shivered feeling his thick glove more over parts of her body. "Please don't do this...." She whimpered. "Your cries mean nothing to me child. . ." He moved her head away and pressed his face to her neck. "The murderous hunger gnaws at me" he started to lap at her neck. She shivered again and tried to move away. "Sonic felt this way when I embraced him. . .his blood spilled on me. As yours will." He pushed her head further away and plunged his fangs into her. She emitted a horrible scream. Robotnik continuously touched her body and drank violently. Uncle Chuck watched on, his face white with horror. Blood busted from the girl and gushed into Robotnik's mouth. What filled chuck most with fear was that Robotnik spoke of Sonic and what he had done to him. This was like the first time he viewed Robotnik's purest evil and demonic ways. How Robotnik had strangle become as fast or faster then his nephew Sonic, how udderly evil he has become. When it was over Robotnik dropped the now dead, bloodless body to the ground . . he laughed. Laughed a cold harsh cackle. Sir Charles was already gone with the CD. Heading towards Knothole, praying he wasn't to late. . . * * * Sonic tossed and turned in his room. The hunger was at its worst today. He could no longer contain the wanting, as he slowly got up and placed on his shoes. He went to the door and stared at it for some time before opening it and entering the quiet Knothole. He saw Tails near the camp fire in the middle of the camp, he was warming up his hands and some chili dogs, no doubt to attempt to give them to Sonic. Sonic, from behind walked towards him, the smell, a strange smell filled his nose, getting stronger with every step towards Tails. The smell became over whelming and Sonic lunged at him, connecting with the kit, who screamed aloud. Sonic hadn't bitten yet, but in fact almost subconsciously stalled, praying the others would stop him. "Sonic let go of me!" Cried Tails. "I can't Tails, your blood, I want it so bad. Please just a taste. . ." "Sonic your scaring me! Please!" Sonic dropped the fox on his stomach and held him down ready to bite, when Sally ran up with the others and screamed. "Sonic don't do this! Let Tails go!" "I...I can't Sal, the smell, the smell its everywhere, I gotta DRINK!" He screamed. Sally for the first time saw his fangs. She let out a small gasp, almost the exact moment the others did. "Sonic, sugar hog, touch him with those K-9's o' yours and ya'll will never forgive yo'self." Said Bunny. Sonic looked up at all of them, his eyes gushing with tears. "Don't you think I know that...don't you think I know damn it...." He sobbed. "I can't control...it.. I I can't..."he picked up the sobbing Tails and moved his head away. "Please forgive me Tails." He moved in for the bite when Chuck screamed for Sonic from the forest. Tails then seeing Sonic's confusion tried to break free of his grasp. But this only agitated the hedgehog, and by reflex his new found vampiric claws tore into Tails arms. The fox howled out in terrible pain. Sonic dropped him and gazed at his bloody claws, horror filled him, he slowly backed away from Tails, now staring at the tear-filled pups eyes. "Oh....God....no.......n...no...Tails...I'm...I'm so sorry...." He bumped into tree and almost collapsed. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry....Please..." Sally ran up to tails, who laid there bleeding and almost unconscious. She looked up at Sonic with cold eyes. "Why....Why Sonic..." "Sally...please.... help him..." Sonic stumbled back, and ran into the forest. "Sonic!" Screamed Charles, but it was too late...Sonic was gone. * * * They watched the monitor in horror as it replayed what Robotnik did to that Hedgehog. "So you see, this is what is happening to Sonic... Somehow Robotnik bit him and created I'm into this monster, but Sonic's subconciousness is trying to fight it off. Most likely that is the reason he stayed away from everyone was to keep them safe. He hadn't drunk blood regularly like Robotnik that is why he went temporarily insane and attacked Tails." "How is Tails Charles?" Asked sally. "I'm right here Aunt Sally..." Tails walked in, his arms bandaged from the wounds. "I'm O.K., my powers you know..." Sally ran and hugged tails tightly. "Uncle chuck, why didnt Sonic tell us?" "I think we all know Sonic is head strong, to admit something was wrong was to show weakness, and he might have felt that was like admitting defeat to what he was trying to fight off." "Charles, is there anyway to stop this?" Asked Sally. "Yeah ol' sugar hog isn't gonna be much fun when he's always trying to neck someone all the time~!" "I am sorry, I only know scientific explanations and there's nothing scientific about this. . . the only one who may know about this is Knuckles Echidna. His islands' past is filled with myths and natural wonders that even science cannot explain." "Then I will contact him tonight, The rest of you go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a hell of a day." The others nodded and walked away. "Ohhhhhh I am to be thinking I will be wearing a necklace of Garlic tonight." Said Antoine. "Ant," replied Bunny "Your aftershave will keep any ol' living or Unliving thang away." * * * Sonic wandered the forest for a few hours, alone, scared, and so direly hungry. He hated himself for wounding Tails, and wanted badly to stop the insanity flowing his head. His wandering brought him to the power ring pool, where he sat alone, staring at himself with the pools reflection. He opened him mouth and looked at the fangs. They were partly hollow to help suck the blood without having to remove his grasp from the victim. His exposed flesh was almost snow white, his eyes looked bloodshot from the lost of sleep. Sonic continued to gaze at himself until a single drop of blood fell from his eye to the water. Moments later he realized he was crying blood. This was the end..... Too sonic, he realized he was losing his humanity, and turning into a monster. All hopes, and feelings washed away with every single drop of blood that spilled to the crystal clear water and deluded to nothing. He knew now life was over, slowly he let the monster within take control, he knew where he would go for his first meal..... * * * Sally had finished her work on Nicole at about 1am. She had called Knuckles and said he'd come with the Chaotix's as backup tomorrow. Sally had done all she could for now, Slowly she closed Nicole and got up from her chair, she stretched and went into the bathroom, removed her boots and vest, and placed her white night gown on. She went back into her room, kneeled at her bed and uttered a small prayer for Sonic, then climbed into bed and started to let sleep take over. The room was dark, but not enough to be blinded in, but just mearly view everything in black and blue. She sighed and wondered about Sonic, feeling horrible about her coldness towards him when he hurt Tails. A cold wind filled her room for a moment, she shivered, then a voice emitted from the darkness. "I don't need that prayer Sally...I'm already in hell." She sat up and looked around, slightly frightened. "Sonic where are you?" She whispered. "I'm everywhere Princess... I am part of the Eternal night, I am part of the Darkness...." "Do you expect me to scream in fear Sonic?" Replied Sally, firmly. "No, but your a fool if you don't feel slightly uncomfortable......" He hissed. Sally rose from her bed and walked to the middle of her room. "I didnt say I didnt feel that." She whispered "Why have you come here Sonic?" "To see you, Sally I missed you." He finally came into view. Sally gaze at him with quiet fear. Slowly he moved to her, he turned her around, and massaged her shoulders, with his icy hands. She shivered slightly but allowed him to continue. "Sal, I learned a few things about myself those few hours ago." He pinched a pressure point on her neck, making her almost melt into his arms. "What is that Sonic?" She managed to squeaked out. "I've always loved you. And I never understood what that smell was until now..." "What was it....." "You'll find out soon...." He touched her hair and moved it away to her left shoulder. He pressed his fangs to her neck, "You will indeed find out." Slowly he punctured his fangs into her, she gave off a gasp but relaxed has his arms encircled her around the stomach. He sucked lightly then removed them, blood began to ooze out, he darted his tongue into her wound. Sally grasped him and turned to face him, she kissed him deeply, paying no heed to the pain she felt or blood on his lips. Slowly he removed her from his lips and turned her around again and gazed at her back. "We don't want this wonderful gown to become stained do we....." His claws extracted and cut the top of her clothing, slowly he tore it off her, not harming the flesh and fur underneath it. Sally felt her gown drop to her feet, the strange forcefulness Sonic thrusted upon her aroused her greatly. She stepped away from her gown and stood there as Sonic looked her over. The right part of her neck was bleeding, the blood oozed down and covered her right breast. "Sonic," she whispered, then ran to him, leaping into his arms. Sonic embraced her tightly, he moved her back to her bed and laid her down, he laid atop of her and kissed her lips. Some moments of love and lust passed between them, a touch, a feel, an entrance, a depart, and finally silence. Sonic had bitten and drained her to the point of no return after. He got off her and stared at the motionless body. Solemnly he cut his wrist and watched his blood drip to the ground, he moved to sally and kissed her lips, slowly he opened them and let the blood drip into her mouth. "Become one with me," he whispered, Sally began to stir then awoke slowly. She reached up for his wrist, Sally grabbed it and sucked roughly at it. Sonic just smiled and started to pull away from her as she began to bite hard. "Enough Sally." He spoke, "Sit up and let me partake of you as well." He sat near her, his eyes filled with a new found evil lust for her. He bit his lips, drawing blood and kissed her. Sally sighed and licked the blood from her lips. The sensational arousment was so overpowering to both, Sally began to metamorph within minutes. Large fangs exposed themselves, and her skin if was ever shown would have appeared snow white. Hours of erotic vampire love finally came to an end. Sonic and sally laid together. Asleep and from what their sweaty and sticky bodies told them, it was a long and well-deserved rest...... * * * "Sally girl" Bunny knocked on the door, it was already 6 am and Sally hadn't come out yet, The night sky still loomed over, making it look somewhat like 11 p.m. "Girl you still sleepin'?" She waited patiently until Sally opened the door. "Well that kept ya?" "I'm tired Bunny, I had a wonderful night." "Well ah....." She stopped cold when she realized Sally was naked. "Sally girl since when did you start sleeping in the buff?" She looked her over then noticed the blood marks. "You're bleeding...what ya'll O.K.?" "Bunny I'm wonderful." "Ya'll want me to get the search team ready?" "That wont be necessary Bunny." "I can get 'em in~ WHAT?! Sally girl what are ya'll on?!" "Sonic doesn't need to be found, he's been here with me all night." Bunnies' eyes widen. "What are you getting at sugar?" Before she could even ask her next question, Sally grinned evilly, exposing her fangs. "N...no!' Screamed Bunny. "I'm afraid so Bun," Sonic came into view. "And guess who's next...." Sonic cuffed her mouth and forced her inside Sally's hut. Sally shut the door and smiled at her love Sonic. "What do you say about an Orgy drinking Sal?" "Sounds utterly sinful sonic, I'd love you." "Ya'll better let go o' me! ah don't wanna have'ta hurt you!" Bunny struggled in Sonic's icy death grip. Her robotic arms proved useless in breaking the grasp. "You wouldn't hurt the original bad boy would you?" Sonic laughed. He moved her head to the side and bit, Sally advanced to Bunny and picked up her wrist. "Bunny don't worry, it doesn't hurt that much." Sally tore at her. Within minutes two had drunk Rabot dry and started to re-new her. Sonic wiped away the blood from his lips and started to move away, when he collapsed to the ground. Images of what had happened to him flooded his mind. A true sense of horror filled him. "No!" He screamed, a burst of pain..... then it was over. Sonic laid there on the ground for a few moments, remembering what he did last night to Sally and what she is now doing to Bunny. He rose up and gazed at Sally, letting Bunny drink from her wrist. He screamed for them to stop. Slowly they did, but they peered into each others eyes, then to Sonic, they smiled wickedly and advanced on him...... * * * Tails waited on the edge of the main continent. After what had happened with Sonic and he, he wanted to get away from Knothole for a while. Tails stared at the sea, waiting for something to come from the night horizon, and indeed something came. Actually five things, three figures were on a raft, and the other two flew. Tails grinned and waved to them they all waved back. When they reached the shores a red echidna stepped forward and high fived tails. "Thanks for coming Knuckles!" Said tails. "Hey I owe you allot little bro. Even since that thing with the chaos Emerald Chambers* I'll help you in anyway I can. But First let me introduce to you my friends the CHAOTIXS! This dude over here is Vector" Knuckles pointed to a crocodile, with head phones and a yellow belt with a walk man around his waist. "Hi Tails howz it wale?!" He high fived The kit. "And this is Charmy." A Small bee landed on Tails shoulder. He wore red pilot goggles and sonic like sneakers." "Hello Tails, we've heard allot about you, wise for your age." Charmy smiled. "I tend to act as if I have a brain now and then." "This is Espio. . ." A purple chameleon walked up to Tails, he wore some green and black sneakers. "Nice to know you man. Heard your the hunter slash spyer slash tracker of the Freedom fighters." "Well the chaos emeralds did enhance my powers*." "And last but not least this is~" a large Red and black armadillo step forward, if not for his large back armor and yellow, yellow arms, one might mistake him for Sonic. "I don't need an intro. Knux, he knows me*! 'sides my matchless strength is know all over the world!" He Flexed and grinned to the Echidna. "AHEM.... Like I was saying, this is the over inflated egotistic Mighty Armadillo!" "Hi kid! Long time no see!" Mighty shook his hand, expecting a weak shake, but was surprised to feel his strength. "Whoa kid! hell of a handshake you got!" He yelled. "Thanks, glad I can gain the respect of the great Mighty." "Now that we know each other tails, Shall we get going to knothole to help the hedgehog?" Knuckles put his hand on Tails arms, the fox yipped in pain. Knuckles looked at his arm and saw the scars. "Good god! Tails what happened to you?" "Sonic's handy work Knuckles." Tails sighed. "He did this to me after he tried to drink me." "So he really is a vampire huh?" Knuckles sighed. "Vector get me that bag in the raft." "Right away! Whatever you say!" "Do you think there is anyway to cure him?" Asked Tails. "Echidna civilization changed back to the ways of nature and all things that cannot be explained by science, from what I have studied, Vampirism can be cured, come on lets hurry to Knothole." (* = wondering when this happened? Well there's a story I'm thinking of making....What do you think?) * * * "Sal! Please! You gotta listen! Don't drink me!" Sonic backed away into a wall as the red eyed princess moved in closer. "You didnt complain yesterday night....Change of heart?" She hissed. "I was mad with starvation! What I did to you last night was wrong!" He turned to see Bunny grinning at him and also advancing. "Bunny don't do it!" "Its time to return the favor Sugar hog....I want some of that sweet Sugar too!" She hissed out, her fangs stained with Sally's blood. "Please! Antoine!! Rotor!! Tails!! HELP!!!" "They can't help you...at least not time. The door I closed and locked is almost impossible to break down without a ram." Retorted Sally. Indeed outside, Antoine and the others tried to break it down, but failed with every attempt. Tails and the Chaotix ran into knothole and asked what was going on. "Zat Crazy 'edgehog iz in some sort of trouble! Keep screaming to ze madam Bunny and ze Princezz not to drink hem!" "Oh no!! Sally and Bunny are Vampires Too?!" Screamed Tails "Quick we gotta break down the Door!" "We cannot with a battery Ram!!" "Yo! You have one right here!" Mighty screamed as he ran to the door, he pulled back his right arm and slammed into it, breaking it into splinters. Knuckles ran in and saw Sonic being drained by Sally and Bunny as they touch him all over. "Knuckles!" Screamed Sonic. "Get them offa me!" The echidna quickly ran up to Sally and taunted. "Hey Sally! Wouldn't you like a red hotter tamale then Sonic?" He grinned, Sally turned to face him, her face covered in gore. "Yeah, I would!" She lunged at Knuckles and tried to attach herself to him. But Knuckles Pushed her to the ground. "Mighty! Give me a hand!" "No prob!" Mighty and Vector ran in and pinned down Sally, Knuckles detached Bunny from Sonic and told Espio and Rotor to hold her. Knuckles went over to Sally and took a pouch Vector had attached to his belt, he pulled out a small container with some clean liquid. "I'm sorry we have to be so forceful Princess, but we have to do this." He looked at the container. "Water from the Angel Island, blessed by a priest at the Sky Sanctuary." He kneeled to Sally and opened her mouth, taking care she didnt bite him, carefully he poured it down her gullet. Sally screamed out gurgling trying hard not swallow, but to avail, she went limp. Knuckles felt a lump in his throat when she didnt respond quickly, but it slowed and went away when she moaned and slowly opened her eyes. Sally gazed at the echidna, he smiled at her. "Welcome back to the living Princess...." * * * After Bunny Rabot was revive they all turned to Sonic who still sat on the floor, his knees to his face. He sighed feeling their gaze on them, his subconscious told him even his uncle's stare was cold. "Well," he said. "Where's the stone being launched to impact on the ol' hedgehog's skull? Where's the stake in the old heart? Come on don't toy with me, I deserve all I get, so hurry and kill me." Sally walked up to him, he felt his heart sink, knowing his girlfriend will be the first to deliver an attack, she kissed him on the neck. "What you did wasn't your fault, we know about Robotnik." Sally whispered. "Sonic we all don't blame ya for all this," replied Bunny. "Side's wasn't that bad to be necked by you sugar." She giggled. "Nephew, what we need now is a way to defeat Robotnik, and you have the key to do it." Chuck walked up to Sonic and placed his hand on him. "Sonic," Knuckles walked over to him. "You want me to change you back once you've told us everything you know about this vampirism?" Sonic nodded. "O.K. then, let's get everyone cleaned up." * * * A few hours later they all met at the council room, Sally sat near Knuckles and Sonic, while the others were scattered everywhere, sitting down with a cup of Wine (or soda for Tails) in one hand and some food in another. Sally had asked Sonic what happened and what did he feel through this all, they listen totally involved with his story. "Well, When I got to the Forbidden Zone I stood on a hill top, I saw a Hover craft that landed near by a few 100 miles or so away. I juiced over to it and found Snively, then Robuttnik came out of a mountain looking all wacked up! I mean he was as pale as snow! Next thing I remember was him telling me he's gonna enjoy doing this, then I remember....." Sonic Went silent for a moment, as if remembering the scene hurt him as much as a physical blow. Sally touched his hand and the others comforted him with understanding eyes. "He put the ol' bite on me, I mean ripped my neck open so bad, I could feel his breath on me and his," Sonic shivered. "It was so horrible, it was like a nightmare made real. I don't know why but he dropped me, he grinned at me, his face covered in my blood. Then the next thing I remember was running for my freaking life. I stumbled to Knothole while trying to stop my bleeding, I hit that old log just a west of Knothole and it rolled and crushed my ankle." Sonic sighed again, "I remembered yelling at everyone, then....there was a horrible smell in the room, its here too....It was driving me insane." He stopped "Only yesterday did I realize what the stench was." He gulped. "Its the smell of blood, I can smell everyone's blood, I stayed in my hut trying to fight off these horrible cravings for it. It kept telling me to drinking the blood, to vask in the darkness. Why do you think everytime someone tried to help me I pushed them away, I didnt want to hurt them, I didnt want that smell near me. It was pulling at my soul so badly it hurt so much. The night strangely empowered me, something told me to go out and feast on someone, Tails was there, and the next thing I remember was looking into his eyes," Sonic shivered again. "His eyes were filled with fear, god it was awful to be feared by someone who has trusted you for all of his life. Then I remember blood on my hands, I thought I had killed him when I saw him on the ground motionless. I ran, like a coward." Sonic started to sob softly. "I came to the power ring pool and started to cry blood, then the next thing I remember was giving up hope and slowly the evil took over. I saw myself running back to Sally's hut, the rest....." he looks away. "Well the rest isn't not gentle hog to tell about." Sally and Sonic blushed slightly. "What can you tell us about being a Vampire Sonic? we need to know weakness" asked Uncle chuck. "Well I seem to have to stay away from light. It hurts horribly, and that's just about it....Shouldn't Knothead here know about this stuff?" "That's Knuckles you idiot! and what I know doesn't compare to a first hand blood sucker. I think we learned all we could from Sonic, should I get him back too normal?" The others nodded. "Come on Sonic, something's tells me were gonna have to take some precautions with you." * * * Sonic had dreams about what they were doing to him, but he always saw himself with Sally, no one else...no one else tying his hands and legs to a bed. No one else grinning at him and saying it would be O.K. He dreamed SALLY not Knuckles looking down at him!! But there was his friendly nemesis tying him up nice and tight, even his vampiric powers couldn't break the strange Angel Island water soaked ropes. "Knux all I gotta say is if you try anything funny on me...." "Watch your mouth Hedgehog, and don't even think that crap! This is for everyone's protection, your gonna be trying to rip us in two." Growled Knuckles. "Fine fine," he made sure no one was listening other then knuckles. "Oh and uhh...thanks for saving Princess Sally and Bunny for me." Knuckles smiled slightly and nodded. "Well we are all ready, place the candles around the bed like I told you too." "Why do we have to go through all this Knuckles?" Asked Sally "We didnt do this for me and Bunny." "Cause Princess, Sonic was the first bitten by Robotnik as he said, the power of darkness flows through him more then you and the Bunny, plus he has been a Vampire longer, this makes it harder to expel the evil spirit inside him." Knuckles thought for a moment. "Its kinda like made itself comfortable and isn't leaving it's 'Home Sweet Home' ya know what I mean?" "I think I do Knuckles." Replied Sally, feeling a tad bit ignorant that Knuckles had to tone it down so much for her to understand. "O.K. Sonic, select your two Avatars, male and female." "O.K. Knux, Sally, Tails, will you please be my Ava.. ave...aver...ack...whatever he said." Sonic asked sheepishly. "Of course Sonic," said Sally. "O.K. Sonic." Replied Tails. They both moved to him, each on the side of the bed. "Very well then, you must know as Avatars the evil within Sonic will attempt to take control of you. Most likely it will fail, I intend to make it weak as possible." They nodded. "Very well....Then the rest of you must leave and watch from out of the hut." They all nodded and left the room. Knuckles looked at the trio and smiled weakly. "As spoken from the times of my fore-fathers and there fathers fathers, I call to them today!" Knuckles Walked over to Sonic and opened his mouth, he began to pour the holy water into Sonic's mouth, Sonic gurgled a scream and started to strain. Sonic was crying out in pain, strange steam like fumes came out of his mouth. "Don't not resist Sonic Hedgehog! do not resist Creature of darkness! Free this Mobians soul!" He threw the rest of the holy water on Sonic's body, instant it touched him it burst into Stream. Sonic was trying hard to rip free of the ties that bound him, kept him from riping the limbs off the echidna who tortured him. Kept him from killing everything in sight with pure rage. "Knuckles! It's killing him!" Cried Tails. "No Tails, the creature is trying to leave him, trying to take control again." Knuckles splashed more water on him. Sonic screamed out so loud the windows began to rattle. Sonic started to pass out from so much pain he was feeling, Knuckles had a worried look on his face, this concerned Tails and Sally allot. "Knuckles what's wrong?" Asked Sally. "Damn it isn't working....It isn't working at all, all I'm doing is hurting the fool." He sighed, and looked at the unconscious Sonic. "I'm sorry Sonic. I'm sorry all of you, I cannot reverse it." * * * Sonic awoke a few hours later with a hell of a headache, he asked the others to untie him and they did. He rubbed his sore wrist and asked what happened. Knuckles told him it failed, Sonic really didnt need to be told that, the way everyone looked at him, and the fact he could smell that horrible aroma around everyone. "Its O.K. gang, at least you tried." Sonic Sighed. "I wish I never took that trip to the Mountain Everglow." Knuckles looked up at Sonic. "Did you say Everglow?" As in the place of Kefkain?" "Kef who?" Knuckles slammed his fist on his forehead. "He can help us! He is Kefkain, legendary vampire of Mobius." "Tell us more about him Knuckles." Said Sonic. "Well it was said long ago there was a white wolf named Kefkain, who tried to steal the legendary Dark Chaos Emeralds. However while he tried to possess it, the Emeralds punished him, and made him forever walk to the earth as an undead creature, he drunk the blood of many creatures and did allot of horrible things. But he saved the Chaos Emeralds once from the hands of a mad wizard, they were so grateful that they finally placed his body to rest, but in exchange for his pain to end he must forever protect the emerald, thus his soul wanders Mobius, punishing those who try to take the Emerald." "Punish as in what kind of punishment?" "I think, he changed them to vampires." "Could this be what made Robotnik into a vampire?" "I don't know Sonic." Knuckles looked down. "But that is the most likely guess. Sir Charles had you found any information about Robotnik having an expedition to the Forbidden zone?" "As a matter of fact yes, but the information was so little, it seemed like a routine patrol." Chuck looked at Sonic who was looking around, he suddenly closed his eyes and moaned holding his stomach. "Sonic, are you O.K.?" everyone turned to Sonic and he looked at them with fear filled eyes. "No....It isn't, the hunger is coming back. . ." he whimpered. "What do I do?!" The others kinda backed away from him. "Oh dear....We have to keep him fed, the insanity only comes back when the vampire is hungery." "Your right Knux, I remember once I drank Sally and Bunny I regained sanity." Sonic looked away, "god It hurts allot...." "umm I think I can spare some blood Sonic." Whispered sally, the others looked at her shocked, even Sonic did. "No Sal, I cant! Haven't I hurt you enough...." "Listen Hedgehog, if you don't you'll be hurting everyone in Knothole, and I cant allow that. So..." she pushed Sonic on a chair and sat on his lap. "Do it and get it over with." "B...but...." Sally glared at him darkly, Sonic knew when he had to give up, despite his outer look of firmness and true discomfort, he really wanted to take her in his arms and drink. Slowly he placed his arms around Sally's waist. Sally giggled slightly at his cold touch, then opened her eyes to see the others staring at her, she retained her emotionless face quickly. Sonic took away one of his arms and pushes her hair away, exposing her neck. He pressed his fangs to her neck and licked her fur. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth to let out a groan but stopped herself before she did. Sonic started to gnaw at her fur enjoying what he was doing to her, knowing she's losing control over herself. Finally after feeling her elbow him way to close to his groin for his comfort, he bit. Sally yipped out and grabbed his hand, the others moved in alarm, but Sally put her hand up to stop them. They backed off again. Sonic stopped sucking from the wound and lapped at it like a serpent. "Sonic...." She mumbled out. "Hmmm?" He replied. "Stop that or I'll knock you so hard you'll have to suck blood out with a straw." Sonic's eyes widened. He took one full gulp of blood and licked the wound hard, it healed completely, he let her go and slightly grinned, his face was covered in her blood. Sally threw him a napkin and he cleaned his face off. "Thanks Sally, I don't know what to say...." "Don't then, we have more important things to think about. Robotnik is killing off allot of Mobians to quench his thirst. We have to do something." "The only thing I can think of Princess," interrupted Knuckles. "Is to go and talk to Kefkain." "If that is the only way then we must," Sally sighed. "Obviously the endless night is due to Sonic and Robotnik, if we don't stop it, everything on Mobius will die." "Just like the prophecy, when the world ended so long ago...due to night that never ended..." Spoke Knuckles. "We have no choice, this has evolved everyone on the face of this planet. Chaotixs, you better head back to the Floating Island, I'm sure the population there is starting to worry. I told them all it was mearly a weeks solar eclipse but I'm sure they'll realize it isn't. They need crowd control." "You got it Knux, We'll leave today," replied Vector. "I'm sorry our trip here was on such uncool matters. I hope this gets fixed up, fastest thing alive! Then I'll meet you on the tracks!" Vector smiled. "Yeah me too Vec, and I'll be there once everything fixed up. I hope things get fixed up." "Tonight we can leave for the Forbidden Zone Knuckles, not like we have to worry about not having any night cover." Sighed Sally. * * * Sonic cleaned off his fangs again after another drink from Sally, he was ready to go back to the forbidden Zone, Tails, Sally, Knuckles and himself were going, they decided it was best to have a small team go, just in case some problems occurred and they needed Backup. Rotor climbed in the Cockpit of the biplane and smiled. "All aboard! You'll need to parachute down to the F zone, it will be much easier to go undetected that way." A one hour flight northwest of Robotropolis and they had reached the boundaries of the vast empty area. Knuckles pointed out the mountain and told them there they must head. "This is perhaps one of the oldest mountains in Mobius, they say only it stood when and after the world crumbled." Knuckles leaped off the plane and glided down. "Well Rotor, hope to see you back at Knothole!" Sonic leapt off the plane and pulled the rip cord. "Becarful princess." Rotor said to Sally who smiled and leaped off. "Don't worry Rotor we will be O.K.! Take care of my biplane!" Laughed Tails as he flew off. * * * When each member touchdown on the ground the quickly ran to the mountain. "Gee... it looks bigger then it did from way up there.." Tails stupidly commented. Knuckles was the first to enter without hesitation. They wandered the cave for hours only finding a few traces of blood and some strange claw marks, Sally began to worry about Sonic as he started walking slower and groaning quietly. She expected he needed another feeding and very soon. "Sonic are you feeling O.K.?" she asked. "Just a little hungry Sally, but I can handle it. It's not gnawing yet." "Sonic please tell me when it is, the last thing we need is you attacking~" Sally bumped into Knuckles who halted. "Why have you..." Before them was a chamber much like the Chaos Chamber on the Floating island. Before them stood an elderly White wolf who slowly advanced. "Sonic, you have come." He spoke, "At last I can tell you of the powers of that which has taken your soul." "So, then your the guy who cursed Doctor Robotnik, he made me into this thanks to you!" Screamed Sonic. "Clearly this was unintentional. You are a protector of Mobius, and you must learn from this experience if you are to gain more knowledge in making this planet free of Robotnik. Listen well, Robotnik has taken my Dark Chaos Emerald, with the blood Emerald he has the power to call all Chaos Emeralds dark and otherwise to him. You must stop him before they reach the madman. I doubt he knows of this power, but he might stumble on it by mistake, you must stop him Sonic, when you have, and brought back the Chaos Emerald I shall change you, Robotnik and Mobius back." "Fine! I'll do it! To save Mobius, But you spoke of power that has taken my soul?" "ahh yes, forgive me when I forget, being over a million years old one tends to be absent minded now and then. The power that holds you in your vampiric form is that from the blood emerald which Robotnik possesses. These powers when they are well developed can become unstoppable, the more blood you drink the more power you gain, you already have super healing abilities. A broken bone can be healed in a matter of hours, or minute if you drink blood. With your belly filled with the Crimson gore of Princess Sally you have the ability to morph your body into that of mist, a wolf, or bat. With a vampire's blood in your gullet you can have super strength, more then you have now. Every different kind of blood produces a certain power up for a small amount of time. But heed this warning Sonic Hedgehog, with every drink you step closer into the bottomless pit of insanity, with every drop that touches your tongue you take a single step towards the very evil you fight. This is what happened to me, I would still be alive and destroying if not for the luck of saving an Emerald and it taking away my body and finally letting me think clearly. Value your life Sonic, when it's over, nothing else seems to matter more." The wolf vanished into air. "Well if that don't beat all," whispered Knuckles. "Your gonna take down the doctor, Sonic?" "Got no choice. I have too, not like I have to worry about the SWATbots. Its 'Buttnik I have to worry about, he's has fast as me, he's stronger, and he can rip me in two with those fangs of his." "Sonic lets get back to Knothole, we'll get the others and...." Sally got interrupted by Sonic. "Sorry Sally, I can't have you or the others along, Your walking blood banks and great bait for the doc to lure me into a no win situation....Its best I go alone." "We wont let you Sonic!" Whimpered Tails. "Sorry little bro.," he looked at Sally, "Let's get back to Knothole and I'll say my good-byes to everyone. Then I'll head off to Robotropolis." * * * Sonic for the first time Walked....That's right WALKED to Robotropolis. Since his good-byes in Knothole village he felt quiet down. Almost everyone had a feeling he wouldn't be coming back, even he did. He reached the outer limits of the Great forest and Robotropolis. He stepped inside the town not feeling the least bit discomfort. SWATbot patrol was on him on seconds, Sonic demolished them in less then that. He sighed and touched his face, a small mark of Sally's blood was on his cheek, the final memories of the drink and the fever* started to come to mind, how he touched her body and drank her inner essence. It made him homesick for knothole again. Robo town was quiet as Uncle Chuck told them, no doubt Robotnik isn't to (*= The "Fever" is an old Mobian saying for the frenzy that swept over a couple when they are engaged in mating) Worried about the Freedom Fighters anymore, 'Their biggest gun is probably sucking their blood away', Sonic could almost hear Robotnik saying. "Naw, Jerk probably thinks I died from the wound he gave me." Sonic looked up at the Main building, Robotnik's den. "Well, I just I better get up there," Sonic unfisted his hand and large claws tore from his gloves. He leaped up at the building and tore into the metal, slowly he climbed up..... * * * Robotnik was watching the monitors, seeing Sonic climb up from the side of the building, part of him was shocked that the Hedgehog was alive and a Vampire like himself. Another part of him was glad, this would make it much more fun disposing of him now. Robotnik told Snively to bring in another teenage hedgehog. Snively nodded and left, moments later he returned with a yellow naked teenage hedgehog. Just then Sonic leaped through the window, his eyes a fiery red. "Its over Robotnik." "Ahh Sonic, welcome, but really you should have taken the main entrance." "Spare me the comedy, I've come for the emerald and your hide." Sonic Snarled, "Look what you made me. You changed me into a monster and I swear I'll do the same to your ugly puss!" "Before you attack hedgehog, would you care for a drink?" Robotnik held out the whimpering girl. "Lovely isn't she? and she's all yours..." Sonic stared at her for a moment, a shiver ran down his spine at the thought of drinking her. "Ahh I see we struck a nerve... good, now take her sonic, drink her. I'm sure you want to...you haven't drunk for a while have you. . ." ". . . .I drank Sally. . . ." "Ah, but I'm sure not to death, take this girl and drink her to death. It isn't hard Sonic, and such powers fill you. Here I'll make it easier. . ." Robotnik moved his hand quickly and a long dark streak covered the girls neck, she stared to scream as she touched it and blood began to ooze out. Sonic's eyes widen, he curled back his lip and moved into a pouching like stance. Robotnik grinned evilly "go on Sonic, relish in your action." Sonic glared at the crying girl as a small grin covered his face, He leaped at the girl and pushed her head back ready to drink, when suddenly voices filled his head. . . . <> The voice of a Echidna echoed through his head. <> a voice of a squirrel filled him. <> A rabbit's voice. <> an old Hedgehogs voice filled him. <> A warus voice echoed. <> a Foxes Voice filled his ears. <> Sonic thought he heard a toads voice. <> Kefkain's voice faded away..... "Your right Robotnik, this might prove fun, but....I really don't want to drink her." He rose up and looked at Robotnik. "I prefer someone else....like Snively." Robotnik's eyes widen. "You cannot drink him, he proves useful to me still. Choose anyone else." Sonic turned away and grinned evilly. "Very well, YOU!" He lunged at Robotnik and connected with his neck. Sonic pierced it and began to drink quickly, Robotnik roared in anger and tossed him off, He hit a table and broke it in half, Sonic laughed at his own pain and jumped up. "That's all you can give me Robuttnik?! I will never turn pawn in your grasp!" Sonic lunged at him again, But again Robotnik send him flying, Sonic seemed to take a little damaged and felt slightly dizzy. "As you were saying Hedgehog?" The doctor cackled. "Perhaps I'll finish the job I started on that day?!" It was Robonik's turn to move faster then light, Sonic turned quickly expecting to be staring at Robonik's belly but instead looked into the eyes of Timber wolf. "Ohh....Shit.." Sonic whispered, Robotnik struck out at him, ripping him across the chest, Sonic fell back and roared in anger, his eyes turning red as blood. Sonic struck the wolf who let out a yip and continued to claw at him. "You can't win Hedgehog! Face defeat!" The wolf beared down at him, Sonic has sustained many wounds and was slowly bleeding to death. The wolf lapped at the blood coming from the cuts. Sonic shivered at the feeling of the creature's tongue. "I wont make your death quick Sonic, I'll make it as painful as I can, forever I'll make you pay." "Get it over with Robuttnik!" Growled Sonic. The wolf laughed, a cold cruel laughter, it readied itself for the kill. "Goodnight hedgehog...." He started to bring his claw down when a sudden burst of light filled the room, both Robotnik and Sonic let out a horrible scream, Blinded by this strange glow, a voice was heard over it. "Sonic!" "S...S...Sally?!" He cried out. "Turn it off! I can't see Its hurting!" "I'm sorry Sonic! But you gotta pass the pain and get over to the Emerald!" "But Sally I~" Something dropped on the floor here to him, he searched for it and found a pair of glasses. "Those should help you Sonic!" Sonic heard Knuckles voice. "You always were cool!" Sonic slapped the dark glasses on and smiled. "Sun glasses!!" he cried out and started to make for the Emerald. "No!!!" Howled Robotnik, He changed back to his human form and crawled toward the Emerald, Sonic felt him raking across his quills every chance he got. He tried to ignore the horrible pain pulsing through, until he finally reached the emerald, but to his horror Robotnik was already there. "I'll never let you take it! NEVER!! The Power is MINE!!" He began to cackle insanely, Over the laughter Sonic heard the door open and Someone come in. "Sir what is all the Augh!! cant see!!" Snively wandered blindly around, he bumped into Robotnik hard and the doc went falling dropping the crystal into Sonic's hands. "YES!!! Thanks allot Snively!!" Sonic disappeared in a black mist. Knuckles who was carrying Sally Glided back and away to knothole, Sally tossed the 10,000 watt light amp next to the doc, and picked up the weak hedgehog girl and laughed. Snively started to shake as he looked up at Robotnik, The doctors eyes now glowing red, and his mustache curled up in a snarl...... * * * Sonic appeared holding the Emerald in his hand back at Mount Everglow, The wolf was there smiling at him. "Well done Sonic Hedgehog! the gods will always shine upon you!!" Sonic smiled and held out the Emerald. "Sonic, do you think you can give this to the Echidna who guards the floating island? I can finally rest now..." "What do you mean Kefkain?" Asked Sonic. "Thanks to you Sonic, for remembering my words, you set me free. . . the teachings....Thank you so much..." the wolf picked up Sonic and twirled him around, Sonic gagged feeling his bones almost being crushed by Kefkains gratitude. "Ack! No prob man! Let me go! And change me back!" "Ahh yes of course!" Kefkain started to chant and a white glow encircled Sonic, He felt his body slowly change then stop. Sonic looked at himself and grinned, his color back too normal and fangs gone. "Thank you again Sonic Hedgehog....I can finally be with my family...." The wolf disappeared, slowly the mountain vanished into nothing. Sonic saw himself standing there alone with the Emerald in his hand. "Yes! Juice and jam back to Knothole!" * * * "Sally girl you mean Sonic just plum disappeared?" Bunny asked. "Yes, I'm starting to worry about him," everyone nodded in reply, it had been a few hours since Sonic's disappearance, they had expected him home by now. "Gee thanks for worrying Gang! I'm so touched!" Everyone turned and saw Sonic standing there with the Emerald, a grin in his face. "But if you thought the ol' hedgehog was gonna get creamed by Robuttnik then you really should look into some help! Cause no one in their right mind would doubt me!" He ran up to Sally and embraced her tightly. She noticed his warmth and smiled. "Your not a vampire anymore!" She screamed. "Ohh Sonic!" "Kefkain is in peace now, happy with his old family." Sonic let Sally go and walked to Knuckles who was already getting his stuff together to leave. "Umm Knuckles...." "Yeah Son?" "Kefkain asked me to give you this in hopes that you may guard it on the Floating Island...." Sonic handed him the Black Emerald. "He said something about it being a Blood Emerald. Will you take care of it?" "Of Course Sonic, I am Guardian of the Emeralds." He took it from Sonic and smiled. "Thanks Knuckles for everything you did for me and the others." "No Problemo, it was for Tails mostly, he did help me." "Yeah but thanks anyway." Knuckles grinned and high fived Sonic. "Welcome back to the world of the living man." He leapt into the air and glided...an up current lifted him away from knothole. "Well Sugar Hog, ya'll are cured of the necking disease?" Giggled Bunny. "Yeah! course that doesn't mean I don't want some red stuff now and then....." Everyone looked at him Concerned. "I mean chili gang." "Sonic your so immature." Scowled Sally. "Yeah I am, but I'm glad to be alive," "Sonic, do you think when the sun come up again we can take a trip to the Floating Island." Asked Tails in his sheepish voice. "Course buddy, I have allot of making up to do with you. I'm so sorry for what I did....." "It wasn't really you Sonic, I know it wasn't." Tails hugged Sonic tightly, He felt something wet drop from Sonic, he looked up and saw the hedgehog crying real tears. Sonic smiled at him and kissed him atop the head. "Yo! no one saw me do that O.K.?" he said after. "Ruin my Hedgehog image!" everyone laughed. "But Sonic what happened with Robotnik?" "Well Uncle Chuck, when Kefkain left he took the curse with him, I think ol' Buttnik is back to his normal fat self!" "Then I best head back there before I'm missed..." Chuck hugged his nephew and left. The moon was already beginning to end, Sally told the others to to and rest they had a long night. Moments later Sally and Sonic were alone in the middle of Knothole. Sonic came close and kissed her. "Care to take a walk in the forest Princess?" "You know i'd love to Sonic." They started off, heading towards the direction of the rising sun. "So Sonic, what do you want to do after ?" Whispered Sally Calmly. "Hmm I dunno," Sonic gave a somewhat evil, yet joking grin. "how about Neck?" <<<>>> Well how do you like it? Please send all encouragement's and/or FLAMES too.....
