Chapter 13: Silver

It was quiet in the small, damp cell. Shadow was pacing back and forth, trying to find a way out. I was sitting near center, holding my knees with a sigh.

"You know, you could help." Shadow huffed, glancing at me.

"Maybe, or I could relax, I don't really need to visit the group right now. It's quiet time."

Suddenly, my ears twitched to the sound of screaming and I looked up, "Huh-?!"

The ceiling above opened up then. BLAM! The group of people from the house tumbled into the cell. I was pushed over as something dropped on me, forcing my face into the ground. Something squishy and fluffy had dropped on top of me. A heard a few groans and tried to sit up, my vision covered by... Fur? Or cloth... Either way I tried pushing the object off me, air suddenly becoming a necessity.

 A squeal came from above. Adena was looking down at me, face red. "S-silver...." she bit her lip like I was... oh god. My hand was pressed to her chest.

My own cheeks turned red and I pulled away, laying back, "Get off me..."

"I can't, the mutt is on top of me..."

"Ow..." I heard another groan, "I'm not a... Mutt."

"I can't breathe..." I muttered.
   
Adena forced herself up, knocking Haven off her. "Sorry Silver.." The wolf yelped and hit the ground.
   
"It's fine.." I took a deep breath, "But there goes quiet time..."
   
Sonic got to his feet "Silver, Shadow! You're okay!"
   
"For the moment. Yes." Shadow nodded, "I see you got caught, and you brought... Everyone else." He frowned, "Except... the psycho?"
   
"What?" Sonic looked around, "Zero? Where did she go? She was with us..."
   
Adena crossed her arms "We lost her?!"
   
"Does that mean she's fighting the bad girl...?" Renny clung to Adena's leg, ears lowered.
   
"So you ran into her to." Shadow growled, crossing his arms.
   
"Who was that?" Adena asked, hugging Renny.  "She made off when Renny then sent us here."

"We don't know her name either. Actually, all we know is it's another Sonic look-a-like." I shook my head, "Like we don't have enough." I mumbled with a sigh.

"That's probably because whatever it is, or she is, is based off Sonic." Shadow huffed.
   
"Actually, she's based off all three of you!" An annoyingly familiar voice filled the room.

A large, round man came in, his squirrel whiskers twitching as he smirked. "I finally got you"
   
"Eggman!" Shadow yelled and grabbed the bars of the cell, "What do you mean she's based off all three of us?!"
   
He ignored the question "Oh have I been waiting for this day..." a low laugh came from him "And I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen! However... I didn't think I would get more that the three of you."
   
"This is the guy?" Tyler smirked, "Sonic I thought he'd be more... Villainous..."
   
Eggman growled and stamped his foot "I am villainous! I'm the most villainous villain in all of Möbius!!"
   
"You look like an egg, with two squirrels shoved up your nose." The dark hedgehog laughed.
   
We all laughed with him, I mean... he isn't wrong. Sonic spoke next "You have to admit Egghead, its fact!"

Eggman growled, "Keep laughing and I'll send my greatest creation to destroy you sooner than planned."
   
"Greatest creation? You mean that green bush we faced earlier?" Tyler frowned, "Wait till I wrap my fingers around her..."
   
A green blur shot past the cell, coming to screeching halt next to Eggman. It was the girl who captured us.. well, she pulled the lever that sent us down here at least. She flashed white teeth at us in a smirk, grabbing the ends of her lab coat looking jacket and bowed mockingly.

"A pleasure to finally meet you face to face."
   
"A horrific pleasure..." The wolf behind me muttered.
  
 "I want you to meet my little angel." Eggman cooed, the female hedgehog blushing a little as he praised her for our capture.
   
"So I did good daddy?" She asked, silver eyes shining.
   
"Of course you did, my daughter." Eggman smiled brightly at the young hedgehog.
   
"Daddy? Daughter?!" My eyes widened and I covered my mouth, "Blech, I think I might be sick.."
   
Sonic looked dumbfounded, "DAUGHTER?! No way, impossible! How could... how did...."
   
Adena frowned, "What's wrong? Surely you know where children come from-"
   
"NO! Don't get that image in my head!" Sonic yelled.
   
"My name is Zara, learn it." The girl smiled, "And do we have plans for you all!"
   
"This disgusts me..." Shadow covered his eyes, shaking his head slowly.
   
"Why is everyone so scared?" Renny asked, tilting his head curiously.
   
Zara turned her attention to the child, and she squealed "Aw your soooo cute! Daddy can we take him?"

Adena growled at her, hugging the child closer to her "Touch him and I'll turn you to Ash."
   
"Heh, with what power?" Zara taunted. Adena went to light up her hand, but the flames never came.
   
"Oh yeah, this cage has taken our abilities." I glanced at everyone, "Thought you should know."
   
"You couldn't tell us earlier?!" Haven jumped up and growled.
   
Sonic growled as Zara got closer to the cage, crossing her arms over her flat chest. "Go ahead and try to be tough. I know who you really are and none of you scare me."
   
Raizor whimpered and hid behind Sonic, "What do we do...?"
   
Zara smiled darkly, "You will see soon~" she turned and followed Eggman out of the damp dungeon.
   
"I don't like that lady. She is mean." Renny crossed his arms with a pout. I chuckled and pat his head,
   
"Me neither buddy."
   
His small tail wagged and he giggled, looking up at me, "We'll get out right?"
   
"I don't see how," Adena wrapped her tail around herself, "Without our powers we can't get out..."

"Then we wait." Haven huffed, "One of them will come back. They say they have plans for us, so we'll have to be taken out of the cage at some point. We should attack then."
   
"Good plan but.. Our powers will be numb for a few minutes after escape. Unless you can get through with hand-to-hand combat, then it's useless. And I know some of us can't do that." My eyes ran over a few of the captives.
   
Sonic passed the little cell, "Oh I can't.... we have to get out now!"
   
"But we can't. Are you even listening?" Tyler grunted, "Seriously Sonic, you have ears. Use them."
   
He froze, "Zero... she isn't here... that means she still out in the base."
   
"Yes but she probably hasn't got the brains to find us and free us."
   
"She isn't stupid Tyler." Adena huffed, "She is a lot smarter than you think. I mean, you saw how creative she could get. Using a PLASTIC FORK to take someone's eye out
   
He growled, "I wasn't prepared! Plus she'll use anything she has her hands on."
   
"Maybe she got ahold of the lady..." Renny mumbled.

"What was that, kid?" Shadow gave the child a cold look.
   
"I-I said maybe Zero got the green hedgehog..." He hid behind Adena, ears back.
   
Sonic paused, thinking. "That could be true... if Zero gets ahold of Zara...."
   
"I doubt it." Tyler huffed
   
"We can only hope..." Sonic sat down with a heavy sigh, ears laying flat. "For now we're... stuck."
   
"Yep." I looked around, "But I guess that means it's talking time..." Everyone gave me a confused look, wondering what I meant. "... Because I still have no clue who some of you are."
