with shadow and knuckles:

knuckles has just finish talking about the prophecy he heard from the master emerald shadow was fine at the start but

as soon as he heard everything else he was shaking from anger and was trying to contain it

'so your telling me that sonic was taken here to make a sacrifice for that large hunk of rock you guard why the HELL DOES IT HAVE TO BE HIM'

'i understand your anger but in your time he had use the chaos of jewels many time's together but this time you said he only used one so now the master emerald want's the equivalent exchange from him'

'BY DOING WHAT EXACTLY.. SERIOUSLY HAS HE NOT DONE ENOUGH ALREADY THE KID IS COVERED IN SCARS FOR FUCK'S SAKE'

'sorry i wish i can help you more but that all i know but before you leave i will see if i can talk to the master emerald and get more information for you'

two of knuckles tribe member's came in

'knuckles we went to the area you told us to go and saw that no one was there but we did find drops of blood and wheel tracks'

knuckles told them they done a good job and they left

'the good news is sonic is alive but the bad news is he would be in the hands of the emperor'

'then i need to go and get him out of there'

shadow blocked shadow from going anywhere so he can try and get him to think logically about what he was doing

'you will but you need to get your strength back first please have something to eat and sleep

because your best bet is to go at night were there are less guards and easy for you to sneak in if you went in there now while he's heavily guarded you would just get yourself captured or killed'

shadow just sigh and nodded he did thought it was the best idea he's got but he was worried at the same time if sonic was going to be alright in the meantime.

'sonic please be okay until i get you'

meanwhile with sonic:

sonic was in no mood right now as he's just been thrown in the bath to be cleaned and then dried sonic then was treated for his injury's but with his hands still tied up he couldn't fight the group of mobians off when they dressed him in some white robes like they was wearing.

he's done said one of them to the guard's who just came in with infinite behind them.

'good job he looks much more presentable for the emperor'

said infinite as he got closer and grab sonic by the arm and was pulling out of the bathing area

'LIKE HELL AM I SEEING THAT CRAZY PSYCHO'

sonic tug his arm back but then was just pulled back when walking he was about to kick until the other guards saw what he was doing and pulled out there sword's and push them to his back to warn him.

'that better now be a good boy and just keep walking'

sonic reluctantly agreed with his demands and walk's till he got to a lavish looking room filled with roman style furniture

and carpet on the floor as well as a rug with all sorts of statue's around the room.

sonic was then pushed on the bed and was forced to open his mouth as infinite poured some liquid down his throat sonic then had his mouth pushed shut and his nose covered until he swallow after he was released and was coughing.

'*cough* what *cough*THE HELL DID YOU MAKE ME DRINK'

'just a something that would make you cooperate with the emperor when he get's here until then just lay there'

one of the guard's gag sonic with a cloth and then all of them left sonic there.

sonic sat up only to feel light headed and and fall back on the bed sonic couldn't move but was starting to feel hot.

At night with shadow:

shadow was already at Pompeii and was jumping on top of the buildings to get to the prison's they had there.

he try the stadium and the other cell's there but he was no where and left to find any other jail cell's in Pompeii 'damn where are they keeping him'

shadow was on top of a roof so not to be seen thinking of where to go next until he heard someone passing talking to another

'did you see that blue demon when he was captured he seem's to be a strong one to disrespect the emperor and even infinite it too bad that the emperor want him as his personal slave he would have been great to watch in the arena'

'yea but it also great news as are lord has never show any interested in anyone before until now and i did hear a rumor when they were getting the blue demon ready for him'

'don't keep it in tell me'

'well the imperial doctor that was treating his injury's said that the blue demon was a herm'

'no way that means he can bear a child right those type of mobian's are rare'

'yea that right but apparently when the news reached the lord he commanded that he be drugged for the night so he wouldn't fight him so he can get him to conceive a heir for the empire'

shadow jump down to the mobians and pin one them both to the wall near an ally

'were is the the one you call blue demon being held TELL ME NOW'

'your....your the one the blue demon saved in the arena'

'last chance where is he'

shadow tighten his grip on there necks to get them to talk

'OK i tell you he at the home of the emperor right now'

'and where is that'

'it the mansion that on top of the hill in the south you can't miss it'

shadow pushed both the mobian's head together to knock them out and then ran as fast as he could to the mansion

'if he lay one finger on sonic i will kill him'
