Chapter 6: Torture

 

“Okay, what the hell just happened?” said Deak, who was in a state of confusion.

 

“They won, Deak” said Shadow, “Metal Sonic has the Master Emerald.”

 

“Well, that sucks,” said Deak. Knuckles gave Deak a look of amazement. He walked right up to Deak.

 

“No, Deak, stubbing your toe sucks. Running out of food and not being able to eat sucks,” yelled Knuckle, “The Master Emerald, one of the most powerful things in this entire universe, in the hands of one of our most hated arch enemies is a fucking disaster!” Deak mockingly backed away from Knuckles and held his hands out.

 

“Woah, Knuckles, watch your temper there. You don't want to throw a hissy fit” said Deak. Knuckles went to charge Deak but Vector held him back.

 

“Deak, this is pretty bad. It may not be a 'disaster' but it is a serious situation,” said Vector, while holding Knuckles back, “The Master Emerald in the wrong hands can lead to very horrible consequences.” All of a sudden, everyone felt a strong breeze that seemed like it was coming from the ground. Of course, this was impossible.

 

“What's going on here?” asked Amy, “It almost feels as if we're...falling.” Right afterwards, there was an enormous tremor on the island that knocked everyone off of their feet. Everyone got to their feet and were now all in a state of confusion.

 

“What the hell?” said a completely shocked Shadow. Everyone stayed silent and did not move for a couple of minutes because they were nervous about what would happen next. One by one, they became less tense. Deak, of course, was the first to calm down.

 

“I guess that's it. Wasn't that bad,” he said to break the silence. However, that was not it. Water began to rush from all sides of the jungle. The water collected in the open area and it started to raise. When the water stopped flowing into the area, almost everyone was up to their knees in muddy, salty water. Knuckles finally realized what was happening and he kicked the water in frustration.

 

“Damnit!” he exclaimed in anger.

 

“What's wrong, Knuckles?” asked Blaze in a concerned tone.

 

“The island, Blaze, the island!” he responded, “The Master Emerald is what enables Angel Island to defy the laws of gravity and float in the air. If the Emerald is removed from the island, there is a very good chance the island will lose this ability. That is what just happened. The island fell into the ocean and this water is from it. Angel Island is now like any other island on Mobius.”

 

“Cheer up, Knuckles,” said Vector as he patted his hand on his back, “Look at the bright side. Everyone is safe. We're gonna need to crash here for a while, you got a place here?”

 

Knuckles walked toward north side of the jungle. “Yeah, it's not that far from here. Just followed me and I'll lead you.” Deak immediately made his way through the waters. Everyone took a look at Deak and they all moaned in disgust. Deak had a gaping wound on his shoulder area. Blood was pouring down his back and it almost looked like a portion of his shoulder had been completely shot off. Deak heard the moans and turned around to confront them.

 

“What's wrong?” he asked.

 

“That wound looks horrible, Deak. You need medical attention right away,” replied Rouge, who was trying not to throw up.

 

“It's fine, see...ah,shit!” Deak said, trying to play off that he wasn't hurt. However, it failed and now he was in more pain. He realized that Rouge was right, he needed that wound to be taken care of.

 

“Fine, but someone here needs to look at it when we get up,” he said, “For now, I'll walk behind you guys so you don't have to look at now.” Afterwards, he continued through the waters into the jungle, following everyone whom he allowed to go ahead of him. The jungle was now filled with a goo that was half mud and half water. There were small leaves in the woods. They made their way to an incline that lead them out of the jungle. Eventually, the incline reached a far enough height so then they were no longer walking in the goo. A couple minutes later, an enormous mansion stood before them at the end of the incline. It was a house that was made out of mainly stone and clay and was built on a cliff.

 

“Wow, Knuckles! For someone who lives alone, you sure do have a big place,” said Cream in amazement.

 

“Yeah, well, I mainly built this for cases like this,” said Knuckles, “You know, when people come to stay at Angel Island. Most of the time I don't even sleep here. I usually pitch up a tent next to the Master Emerald so I can be around it, just in case something happens while I'm sleeping.” He made made his way through the door and everyone followed him into the main foyer.

 

 

Setting: Prison Island

 

The time had gone by slowly for Sonic the Hedgehog. It was only about ten days since he has been held here, but it felt like an eternity. He had come here looking for his best friend, a young fox boy named Tails. He found whom he was looking for but somebody else found him as well, a red and grey wolfbat named Kane. However, everyone in the complex called him “Master Kane”.

 

He was being led in chains down a hallway by a group of blue robots with red vsiors. The hallway reflected his mood, cold and depressing. The hallways were constructed of grey metal and had white block letters and numbers, indicating the types of rooms. The reached the end of the hallway and there stood a steel sliding door. One of the robots typed in a pin number on the keypad next to the door and the door slid open.

 

“Keep moving, slave,” said the robot who typed in the keypad. Sonic obeyed and he was led into a spacious room with a flat, steel panel in the middle. A gigantic laser hung above the table. Sonic knew what was happening- it was “fun time”. At least that's what Kane called it. To Sonic, it was horrible torture. The robots grabbed his hands and feet and placed them in the open shackles. One of them pressed the buttons and the shackles closed on Sonic's hands and feet. The doors opened again and Kane made his way through the doors. The robots quickly exited the room to guard the doors.

 

“Ah, Sonic. I'm so glad that you're here tonight,” he said in a happy tone, “Are you ready for fun time because I am sure am!”

 

“O-O-Oh, y-y-es,” Sonic replied sacastically in a very weak voice. Kane walked over to a control panel in the back of the room.

 

“Well, that's good,” Kane said. He pressed a button on the control panel, turning on the laser. Kane pressed another button a shot of electricity came out of the laser and hit just left of Sonic's torso.

 

“Oops! Forgot to adjust the position,” Kane said with a snicker. The laser moved the right and another shot of electricity fired out of the laser. This time, it made a direct hit with Sonic's torso. Upon impact, Sonic screamed in pain.

 

“Yes, Yes, scream my little slave,” Kane said in pleasure, “Nobody will hear you except you and me. Scream as loud as you want.” Kane continued to move the laser around so then the laser would hit all of Sonic's body. He continued to scream loudly as the pain was unbearable. After about thrity minutes of torture, Kane turned off the laser. He stepped away from the control panel and walked up to the table Sonic was shackled to. Sonic was nearly passed out from all of the physical exhaustion from what had taken place.

 

“You know, you don't like you had a fun time. Maybe we need to have a double session. Maybe then we could get a smile on your face,” said Kane. Sonic immediately smiled, knowing that if he didn't, the torture would continue.

 

“That's much better,” said Kane. He made his way out of the room and motioned the guards outside of it to go in and take Sonic back to his cell. He continued to walk down the cold, steel hallway until he reached the end of it. He made a right and walked down until he reached an elevator. He took it up to the top floor, where his room in the complex was. The elevator doors opened and Kane was greeted by a purple raven, named Quote, who was second-in-command of Kane's army.

 

“What do you want, Quote?” asked Kane.

 

“Metal Sonic has come back with the Master Emerald. He wishes to see you,” said Quote.

 

“Well where is he?”

 

“He's in the other room.” Quote led Kane into the room next to them. There stood Metal Sonic with the Master Emerald next to him. The broken down bodies of Metal Knuckles and Tails Doll were in the corner. Fang was in a red chair, grabbing his chest in pain.

 

“Well, I see your mission was a success,” said a pleased Kane, “I'll take the emerald now.” Kane approached the Master Emerald but Metal Sonic grabbed his arm.

 

“Not yet,” said Metal Sonic in its monotone, “I hope you have not forgotten our deal.”

 

“Don't worry I haven't.”

 

“Tell me it then”

 

“Ok, when I conquer Mobius, I will give you a generous amount of land for you to rule over. Then we will create an alliance with each other and together, all of Mobius will bow down to you and I as the supreme and undisputed rulers of this planet.”

 

“Good, you have not forgotten. The Emerald is now yours. Also, Metal Knuckles and Tails Doll were greatly damaged in acquiring this Emerald.”

 

“Say no more. Quote, give these two robot warriors a tune up” Quote obeyed and motioned the two robots to follow him and they did.

 

Before he left Quote turned to Kane and said, “I also dug up some information about that black hedgehog and compiled a report. You might want to read it. It's on your desk.

 

Metal Sonic and Fang followed all three of them out of the door and to the elevator. Kane watched them leave, grabbed the report from his desk and then approached a window that overlooked the ocean. It was a clear night and the moonlight reflected beautifully on the ocean waters. Kane smirked to himself as he marveled at this beauty.

 

“Now, I have the Master Emerald. Nothing can stop me now! Soon I will be the surpreme leader of Mobius. Everyone will bow down to the might of Master Kane. HAHAHAHA!”

 

 

Setting: Back on Angel Island

 

It had been a few hours since everyone had arrived at Knuckle's mansion. Shadow, Rouge, Charmy and Cream were sitting on the couch watching television in the living room. Vector was listening to music on his headphones in the kitchen. Espio was in another room meditating. Amy was in the bathroom bandaging Deak's wound.

 

“Damn! Watch were you're touching,” Deak said after Amy accidentally pressed down too hard on his wound.

 

“I'm sorry, Deak,” replied Amy, “I don't do this often. All I have to do is get one more layer of tape on this wound and you'll be all set.” She got the last layer on without any problems.

 

“There you're all set,” she said as she put the medical tape away.

 

“Thanks for taking care of that,” he said. Deak made his way out of the bathroom and joined everyone who was watching television. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Amy soon joined them and she sat down on the couch next to Deak. Blaze came out from the foyer and she looked out the clear door in the living room. There she saw Knuckles all alone, sitting on the edge of the cliff.

 

“What's wrong with Knuckles,” said Blaze, “I'm worried about him. He's been outside, sitting on that cliff for almost two hours.”

 

“He's still crying about his dumb emerald,” said Deak.

 

“Shut up, Deak!” said Amy angrily, “Knuckles has been going through a rough time. We haven't seen him in six months. He's alone all the time.”

 

“I'm going to talk to him. I'm a guardian too. Maybe I can get through to him,” said Blaze. She made her way outside and approached Knuckles. Knuckles heard the door open and turned his head to see who had opened it. He got up from the cliff and stood up to face Blaze.

 

“What are you doing out here, Blaze?” asked Knuckles.

 

“I should be asking you that, Knuckles,” replied Blaze, “Why are you out here, all alone?”

 

“I was just looking at the jungle,” said Knuckles, “I don't really get a chance to do so.”

 

“Mind if I join you?”

 

“Go ahead.” Blaze took a seat next to Knuckles. For about ten minutes, there was silence. They did nothing but look at the jungle in the moonlight together. Knuckles then sighed to himself and buried his face in hands.

 

“What's wrong?” asked a concerned Blaze.

 

“It's nothing, Blaze. Just that the Master Emerald is gone. I gotta find it now,” responded Knuckeds. His voice was muffled since his hands were still covering his face. Blaze was not convinced by this response.

 

“That's not it. There's something else, isn't else?” asked Blaze.

 

“Damn! There's nothing getting past here,” Knuckles thought to himself.

 

“You can tell me,” continued Blaze.

 

“Okay, I'll tell you. It's just that, my mind is torn right now. Half of me wants to do one thing and the other half is saying to do the opposite. One half wants me to just off this cliff right now...” Blaze gasped at this.

 

“Why would you want to do something stupid like that?!” said Blaze.

 

“Because I'm a failure. I failed everyone. It was my sworn duty to protect the Master Emerald and now it's gone. Well, I don't really want to kill myself, but I do feel like a waste of space and a failure. Sometimes, I wish I didn't have to guard this Emerald and that's where my other half comes in. It says I should just forget about the Emerald. I could live a normal life and not be so alone all the time. Sometimes I wonder if my sworn duty is...”

 

“To be all alone for eternity. Not having any friends and feeling empty on the inside,” interrupted Blaze. Knuckles was shocked. He was going to say the same thing.

 

“I don't believe this. No one has ever understood how I felt. I felt so alone before. You seem to know exactly how I feel. That's never happened before,” said Knuckles is amazement.

 

Blaze said in response, “Well, that's because I'm a guardian too, Knuckles. That pain you feel, I feel it too. At times, I feel empty and alone. I thought no one would understand me until...I met you.” Blaze stared in Knuckle's eyes and Knuckles stared into Blaze's eyes. The faces drew closer until his lips pressed against hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she flung her arms on top of his shoulders. Their tongues touched each other and they began making out. Little did they realize that they had a small audience.

 

“Aw, that's so romantic,” said Amy, who was watching the entire thing from the glass door. Everyone from the living room got up from what they were doing and started watching Blaze and Knuckles make out.

 

“Damn, everyone's getting some but me,” said Deak. Vector came into the living room but he accidentally tripped on an untied shoe lace.

 

“AH, CRAP!” yelled Vector in pain. This caught the attention of both Knuckles and Blaze and they broke the kiss. They saw that everyone was looking at them. Both of their cheeks turned red with embarrassment. They both mad their way inside. When they stepped in, Deak mockingly clapped his hands.

 

“Let's hear it for the happy couple,” said Deak, still clapping his hands, “Hey, Charmy, you might be hearing some more ghost noises tonight.” Knuckles gave Deak a death glare.

 

“Don't get so worked up about it, Knuckles. Deak likes to be asshole sometimes,” said Shadow, who was lying on the couch.

 

“I guess some people here don't appreciate my sense of humor,” responded Deak, “If anyone needs be I'll be getting something to eat.” He then walked into the kitchen.

 

Vector started to enter the foyer and up the stairs. He looked down and said, “Well I've had enough action for one day. I'm going to sleep.” Pretty soon, everyone followed Vector and went upstairs to sleep.

 

 

Setting: Kane's Office

 

Kane was sitting in his chair reading the report on Shadow that Quote had created. He had a small smirk on his face as he flipped through the pages.

 

“So, Shadow The Hedgehog, it seems we have more in common than I originally thought. All this time I thought Sonic was my biggest threat, but now I know that it might just be you. Shadow, Shadow, Shadow, we are so alike yet so different,” Kane said to himself.

 

Well, there you go, KnuxBlaze. There aren't any other fics about KnuxBlaze on here and I think that they could make a good couple, so I guess I'm a pioneer for this couple.

 

What will become of Sonic and Tails while imprisoned? How will Knuckles find the Master Emerald? What do Kane and Shadow have in common? And why is Deak such an asshole? Keep reading and reviewing to find out! And again, thanks for the reviews.
