Upon stepping through the door and seeing the blue hedgehog, Dr. Eggman immediately ran over to him and started to throttle the poor hedgehog. Shadow instantly yanked the Doc of the comatose patient and demanded an explanation for his actions.

“Sonic! Th- that hedgehog- he is the one who did THIS to me!” Eggman fumed, pointing to the back of his head.

“But he has amnesia! He won’t even remember anything, let alone doing that to you!” Shadow defended.

“Doesn’t matter, I will remember! Screamed Dr.Eggman.

“No you don’t get it! Think about it, sure you could just go and kill him, OR you could make him suffer more than he could possibly imagine by making him work for you and make him hurt the people most close to him!”

“You could finally conduct all thoughts experiments that you always wanted to do on him and he wouldn’t even fight you because you could fill his mind with whatever you please! Shadow shouted to the enraged Doctor.

While he listened to the midnight hedgehog, Dr.Eggman quickly calmed down, realizing the truth in his words and immediately loved the idea. He continued to stare thoughtfully at the now quiet hedgehog making the other very uncomfortable. After a silent moment, Dr.Eggman ecstatically yelled “Your right! Why had I not thought of this before? Think of their despair when they realize that their own HERO is now my pawn to do my every whim and bidding!”

This is why Dr.Eggman made it a point to listen to all that Shadow said because he could give a different point of view to the Dr., which was extremely valuable. Dr.Eggman patted the midnight hedgehog, earning a glare and strode confidently out of the room, his laughter booming down the long hallway and back into the small medical room as he made his way to his personal lab. Once he left the room and his laughter had stopped rebounding around the small room, Shadow gave a heavy sigh, glad that the Doc had not noticed his desperate attempt at trying to keep the Doctor from killing the resting cobalt hedgehog.

He wasn’t sure himself why he wanted the younger hedgehog to live, but ever since Shadow had found the wounded hedgie at the destroyed town, he had immediately felt a connection between the two, like he was being uncontrollably pulled to the other yet could not explain it. He was deeply curious about the wounded hedgehog that lay on the bed recovering and had become super aware of his every move and breathe, no matter how small.

Needless to say the ebony hedgie was deeply curious about his blue look alike that lay on the bed and hoped that he would wake up soon, so he could get to know him better, or as best as he could, seeing as how the blue wouldn’t even know who he was. Shadow sighed tiredly once more before leaning down to the comatose hedgie and whispering softly in his ear-

“You owe me big time buddy.” Earning a tickle from the others twitching ear before leaving the small monitored room to go back to his own room to rest from the eventful day. All the while hoping the Doc wouldn’t do anything too horrible to the azure hedgehog.

Sonic’s P.O.V.

“It’s so dark and quiet.” Thought the cobalt teen as he floated in the inky blackness of his mind. “It’s ….. peaceful. I wonder what this place is.” He mused.

He tried to move but found that his body was completely numb. Unable to move the azure started to panic, when all of a sudden the blackness started to change into a kind of liquid substance and he immediately felt a loss of air as pressure on his throat demanded its presence be known, restricting his breath with a savage force. Choking and gasping for what little air the blue could get, he started to fade fast, quickly loosing what little awareness he had obtained when all of a sudden there was a some what familiar presence fallowed by a deep yet husky voice contorted in panic and desperation.

The teen could not make out what was being said as the voice was muffled as if stuffed with cotton, but was immensely relieved when soon after the heavy pressure retreated, leaving him to cough and gasp raggedly for the cool life giving air. Taking deep calming breaths, and finally able to breath at a normal rhythm, the blue could make out another, harsher voice that dripped rage and venom. The two seemed to be arguing though the teen could still not make out what was being said.

The young hedgehog was now back in his flesh body and while he could still not move nor speak, he was now more aware of his surroundings and had noticed that he lay on a soft bed with a thin blanket covering him up to his chest. He assumed that he was in a room and shivered mentally due to the slight chill in the air. The cobalt teen could hear the whirr, chirps, clicking, and beeping of machines which led him to believe that he was in a medical room because some of the machines were hooked up to him, like an oxygen mask on his face, tubes that were stuck in his arms and small round patches that were on various parts of his body.

Of the voices that had continued to argue, the louder rougher one had stopped, which left the more smooth, husky voice to continue, though the couscous hedgehog could sense the nervousness and desperation that saturated it. After several seconds of the other speaking there was a moment of silence fallowed by a large boom of laughter, the rougher voice no longer sounding angry but was now filled with victory as it slowly faded, as if it was moving away.

After the rough voice could no longer be herd echoing around, the hedgie focused more on what he could hear and feel, beryl catching the sound of a relieved sigh as some thing moved closer toward his left side and a smooth, deep and extremely attractive voice sounded in his ear, surprising him at its closeness.

“You owe me big time buddy.” it said softly, tickling his sensitive ear, causing him to flick it quickly to make the tickle go away.

He immediately stopped completely astonished. He could move his ear! Perking his ears as the sound of steps retreated, leaving him all alone, he attempted to wiggle his fingers and was rewarded as they slowly moved, though that was about all he could manage. Sighing mentally, and relaxing his body, the hedgie decided to go back to sleep and try moving later when he had some more rest.
