/\3rd Person's P.O.V./\
July 27th, 1:00 a.m.

Around 1 in the morning, two days since she fainted, the azure female was begining to awaken. As she sat up, she looked around and noticed she was in one of the guest rooms inside her sibling's home. Before she can adjust to her surroundings, her mouth was covered in a cloth and she passed out after minutes of struggling. Obviously she failed due to her loss in power. A cloaked man picked up her limp body bridal style, placed a note on the bedside table, and jumped out the window, heading for his hideout.

****************************************************
6:55 a.m.

The blue blur woke up a little later than usual, but he didn't care. All he cared about at the moment was his sibling. As he walked across the hall, his mate came behind him and grabbed his hips, startling the smaller hedgie.

"C'mon, love. Let's check on your sister together." He said with a warm smile, causing his mate to melt.

"Alright." He said and opened the door and looked in, but he didn't see her. "Symph?" He called but there was no answer. That's when he noticed a little note on the bedside table. He walked over and read it as his mate was behind him.

I managed to get your sister. I thought that you would be smart and have someone keep an eye on her. Turns out I was wrong. I hope you said goodbye before I kidnapped her. If not, oh well.

After the azure read it, he gasped and emediatly dropped the note. Then he grabbed his phone and texted everyone but Armor to come over quickly. His boyfriend asked what was wrong, and he told him the issue, got some spy clothes on, than ran downstairs with the ebony and started putting on his black boots.

"Okay, why do you need the suit for?" Asked the coal coloured hedgie.

"One, I like it. Two, it will help incase we need to sneak in somewhere." Stated the royal blue. Just as he put his foot down, everyone came rushing in.

"What's the sitch?" Rouge asked, walking inside fully.

"Symph's been kidnapped." He said and everyone gasped.

"She's been what!?" A certain wolf exclaimed, making the azure growl.

"Armor, fuck off." He growled, causing Viola, Jasper, and Harmony to gasp.

"What did he do!? You never talk like that to friends." Vi exclaimed.

"He's not my fucking friend anymore. Wanna know why? He cheated on Symph and made her CRY." Sonic growled, causing everyone to gasp and his three friends to growl.

"YOU DID WHAT!?!?" The calico shouted, punching Armor in the face and snarled at him. But the wolf wasn't fazed at all. Instead, he admitted he deserved it.

"Fine, you can come along. But don't start crying when Symph ignores you." Sonic said lowly, pointing a finger in the male wolf's face.

"Understood." He said and started walking out the house with everyone behind him.

He didn't know what his ex will say when she sees him, but he knows it won't be good. He didn't care that she might hate him forever, he was currently only worried about what's happening to her. The possibilities made him shiver in fear. He really hated himself at the moment. Whenever he replays the image of her that day, he just wants to hug her to comfort her. Seeing her amethyst eyes he adored fill with betrayal, sadness, and hurt, it broke his heart. Especially when he caused it. He remembered when he first confessed his love for her in middle school. She would always gush about how romantic it was while he complained that it was cheezy. That memory travelled into another. A memory of her birthday. He got her the little corgi and started regretting his decision. He would non-stop worry that his gift was terrible, but he was proved wrong when her squeals, cheers, and cooes made his ears bleed. He chuckled at that memory, earning a questioning look from Shadow.

"What are you chuckling at?" He asked coldly, making the wolf look at him.

"Happy memories." He said simply looking forward as he walked.

(--------With Symphony--------)

Symphony was just waking up. Her eyes still blurred and her head wraking at the sound of a high pitched noise. As she adjusted her eyes, she looked up, seeing her hands cuffed and around a pole.

'Wait...are those...? SHIT!' She thought, recognizing the cuffs as a controlling type. These specific hand cuffs (two black rings that look like inhibitor rings with a dark purple heu) are very powerful. Not only do they drain your power, but they make you follow the owner's command as long as you're awake.

Her back was rested against something metal or stone and her body was in a sitting position. She couldn't tell what she was on. All she knew was that before she was taken here, she was changed, most likely by her brother when he fixed her wound. Speaking of wound, she looked down and saw the bandages wrapped around her waist. As soon as she heard footsteps, she let her head hang and closed her eyes, acting as if she was still asleep. Since she couldn't see what was going on she heard it. She heard the door open and someone walk over towards her.

"As soon as you awaken, we're gonna make lots of money from you" he said emotionlesly and walked off, exiting the room fully and closing the door behind him. Symphony sighed in relief and annoyance, wondering what the kidnapper meant, but then just let herself doze off.

(--------Back With The Others--------)

"Will you two shut up!?" Sonic shouted at the echidna and Scourge, sighing in irritation.

"Looks like someone's on their monthly." He heard Fleetway mutter, earning a punch to chest by the blushing azure.

"Shut up." He said and turned around, continuing to walk next to his mate.

"Sonic?" The male predator called, speeding up his steps so he was next to the blue hedgie. "I-I know you hate me and don't want to talk to me, but...what happened after she ran off?" He asked, a slight hint of worry in his voice.

"Ugh, she ran off and slipped on mud. Then most likely cried. She must have fell on her wound, which made it bleed. She was forcing herself awake when I found her." He explained dryly, not making any eye contact with the wolf. Instead, he looked at where the sun was located. It was still high in the sky, possibly around 8 a.m. "Well, since I answered your question, you have to answer mine." He said.

"Go ahead." Said the wolf, looking at the hero.

"Why did you do it?" He asked, making everyone go silent, but he didn't notice.

"I...I felt like our relationship wasn't going anywhere." He admitted, but just earned a slap on the face.

"You stupid asshole! You cheated on Symphony because you felt your relationship wasn't going anywhere!? Symph told me that you barely talked to her, kissed her or at the very least say 'I love you'. Do you know what she does when you're not at home and kissing some bitch behind her back? She sits at home and waits for you. She doesn't say hi to her friends, she doesn't go outside, she sits AT HOME and WAITS for you! Did you not notice how depressed she's gotten!? She fucking cried when she found out about your stupid affair. If it was someone else, she would've gotten mad. Do you see what you did to her!?" He shouted, making the other Mobians flinch. Armor looked at the azure in shock, now realizing their past actions. He remembers walking in his home after a date and saw his girlfriend's ears perk.

~Flashback~

"A-Armor! You're back!" She would shout and run up to him, hugging him tightly as her cute little tail wagged.

"Mhm, yeah. I'm tired so I'm going to bed." He would say simply and force himself out of her grip.

"Oh...okay. Love you, 'night." She would call, not as cheerful as the other one. He would just reply with a 'mhm' and go upstairs, into his room.

~End Of Flashback~

He felt so guilty. He couldn't forget those hurt eyes whenever he did that. His little head hung in shame as the hedgie snarled at him.

"Bastard." The azure growled lowly and turned away, resuming his walk with the others following. The wolf hasn't felt more guilty and regret. He hurt his lover and didn't realize it until her brother pointed it out. What's even worse is that he didn't end his affair. He was too busy and worried. All he wanted now was to fix his mistake and get her back. He wanted her back. He needed her back, more than anything. He didn't get any sleep the previous night due to his worry, guilt, regret, and anger directed towards himself, keeping him awake. Whenever he was close to falling asleep, he would feel that his ex-girlfriend wasn't there. Hell, he kept forgetting they weren't a couple anymore. God only knows how Symph feels now. Mad? Maybe happy? The wolf wondered if she actually forgot their relationship already. At the moment, he's thinking of what to say to her and what to reply when she asks him something.

"Armor, it's hard to believe she fell in love with you." Said Jasper, walking right beside the wolf. "It should be me." He muttered, but the light grey predator heard it.

"Hmph. Fine then. A competition to win her heart?" The wolf suggested, causing the midnight cat to smirk.

"Gladly." He said, still looking forward as he smirked. The wolf also smirked, balling his hands into fists.

'You're mine Symphy, and no-one else can have you. You WILL be mine.' They both thought, taking a small glance at eachother and turning their gaze forward once again.

Little did they know the brother of their 'prize' read their thoughts. He frowned knowing his best friends still loved her. You see, Jasper has always liked the female azure, but never knew how to tell her. The day he was gonna confess, was the day she was taken away from him. The day she was already won over by his friend. He hated the wolf since, and now that he had a second chance to win her, he took it. He will do anything to win her heart. So was Armor. He's determined to get her back, whatever it takes.

"Wait." Sonic said suddenly, making everyone pause. Then he sniffed the air a few times. "I found her. Follow me." He ordered, jumping into the trees with everyone following close behind him.

Running atop the leaves of the tall plants, everyone but the two rivals focused on nothing but what they were doing, where they were going, and what their mission was. But, like I said, the cat and wolf rivals only focused on the live of their lives and the other. At this particular moment, they held nothing but hatred towards the other.

(--------With Symphony--------)

Symph eventually woke from her nap and opened her eyes to see a pink furred poodle luming over her.

"Okay, pinky, what do you want from me? Lure my brother? Perform tests? Either way, I'm too numb so--"

"Numb?" The girl cut off. "What do you mean numb?"

"Oh, y'know, heartbreak. I'm destroyed inside, but I can't show my captor that, now can I?" She said with an emotionless face. The unknown female was a bit startled by her words.

"Why? What happened?" She asked curiously.

"Why do you want to know?" The blue one questioned, leaning forward a bit.

"Well, I'm curious," She said sweetly, shocking the hedgehog.

"...fine. My ex cheated on my with some randomass chick. I was going to let him seduce me if it meant he would show me love again, but apparently he already found it in someone else. He.....betrayed me..." she mumbled her last words.

"I'm so sorry. We captured you at such a terrible time!" The female cried.

"Wait...'we'?" The azure questioned.

"Yes. My brother and I captured you to make money off of you. I didn't want him to."

"Oh. Why do you need the money, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Our.." the poodle paused, "Our grandfather was recently placed into a coma. His heart stopped. We have a donor but we don't have enough money to pay for the surgery..." she muttered, sniffling.

"Really?" She said slightly amused. The little Mobian was offended.

"Instead of asking me to donate money, you kidnap me?" She said with a light chuckle. The girl gasped.

"Y-you're willing to pay for it!?" She asked in shock.

"Of course! Heck," she said, careful not to swear in front of her, "I would do the surgery myself and make sure it's a success," she said. The poodle gasped as tears gathered at the corner of her eyes.

"Thank--"

Just then a brown poodle and grey cat walked in.

"Sis, c'mon. This man is paying so we need to leave," the pink poodle's brother said and grabbed her arm.

"B-but--!" Before her pleads were heard, she was dragged out and the door closed.

The two looked at eachother, the females face twisted in disgust while the male have her a smirk.

"He wasn't joking. You really are beautiful~" he said and inches closer to her.

"Don't you fucking touch me!" She growled, shuffling backwards.

"Fiesty, too~" he purred.

"Disgusting creep! I'm in no mood for this bullshit!" She yelled at him.

"Moan," the man commanded.

"N--Ahhh~" she quickly shut her mouth in embarrassment, anger, and disgust.

"I can make you do whatever I want whether you like it or not, so I suggest being quiet," he purred once again. The sky blue hedgie was legitimately frightened and did as told.

(--------With the Siblings--------)

"Brother, we're making a mistake!" The pink poodle cried, trying desperately to pull out of his grip.

"Helping grandpa is a mistake?" He questioned her, making her gasp.

"N-no! I mean using that woman!" She said, finally escaping his hold and stood in front of him.

"How? It's not like she was important," he said and stepped into a control room, his sister got on his heels.

"JACKSON MADISON BLACKPAWS, SHE WAS GOING TO HELP US!!" The 11-year old girl shouted at him, using his full name. Jackson was surprised by her outburst.

"Wh-What?" He asked in surprise and shock.

"I was talking to her. She said she would pay AND do the surgery! You just left her in a room with a perverted rapist!"

"......oh....chaos...."

"C'mon! There's still time!" She said and pulled him out of the control room.

(--------With the Gang--------)

Sonic has been quiet ever since the outburst on Armor. All he did was think about his sister. He hoped she was okay, but knowing fully well she might not be.

After a few more minutes of running, he stopped outside of a metal door. The gang looked at it curiously until the azure kicked it down, his anger rushing on his veins as he smelled an unusual scent lightly mixing with his sister's. He quickly ran in with the others closely behind. The corridor was dark with a few wires hanging, sparks spurting out from time to time.

"Ah~!" I distant moan was heard and Sonic's eyes shrunk with fear, along with the others'. He quickly began rushing through the hallways. Armor was beside him, using his ears to guide himself.

Eventually they made it to a door with a light shining through its cracks. The azure, grey wolf, and black cat placed their ears on the door to hear gentle pants. They instantly triggered the blue hedgie and caused him to pick the door down.

The sight before him was horrifying.

His sister was sitting on a medal experimenting table, panting and looking to the side in shame with her shorts undone and on her right leg. Her shirt was ripped and her hands chained up to a pipe above. The only articles of clothing she had on her was her matching black bra and panties. Her quills were matted down with sweat and her cheeks were flushed pink.

"Symph!" He shouted and rushed towards her, hugging her once he reached her.

"Are you okay? What happened? What did they do?" He asked frantically, his hands shaking after he separated from her.

"A guy *pant* nearly raped me. He left to get lube. Theirs two more people here, an 11 year old girl and her brother," she said with light pants in between her sentances.

Everyone was trying to help while Armor and Jasper were trying not to have nosebleeds.

"Guys stop. You can't break these cuffs," she said. Just then, the two poodles rushed in. The little girl ran over to the light blue female hedgie and ushered her brother to free her.

"I will. But, do you promise to help us?" He said, wiggling the keys in her face.

"Definitely! I know why you need the cash and I'd be happy to assist!" She said, leaning forward. He sighed and unlocked the cuffs, earning a hug.

"Thanks!" She said nicely and began walking, leaving her torn clothes behind. The gang was confused she decided to leave so quickly, but followed her.

As they traveled, Symph unintentionally swayed her hips as she walked, gaining attention from the rivals.

"Hey, you're actually kinda cute," Symphony told the poodle, who blushed. Everyone behind her was stunned and Armor and Jasper growled.

"Th-thanks..." he muttered, running the back of his neck sheepishly.

"You seeing anyone right now? I'd love to get to know you and your sister more," she said, the pink dog smiling brightly.

"I'm Shemari and that's my brother, Jackson. He's gay--" she said, earning a slap in the back of the head.

"B-Be quiet!" He ordered.

"You're gay?" The hedgie questioned.

"Y-yeah...I hope you're not homophobic," he said, but instead started being shaken.

"Are you kidding!? I LOVE gay people! My brother's gay, my best friend, Jesus, is gay, my favourite anime characters are gay," she listed, earning a surprised look from Jackson.

They finally made it outside and said their farewells, the poodles and hedgie agreeing to meet at the park to go to the hospital.

"Hey, Symph?" Armor called carefully. The hedgehog froze.

"I....I'm sorry. I was an idiot--still am--but I'm sincerely sorr--" he started.

"Don't." She said strictly, her voice wavering slightly. "Don't you dare apologize."

"Symph, I'm trying! I'm trying to fix this--"

"Well guess what? It's not working!" She shouted at him.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE TOO GODDAMN DENSE!" He shouted at her back.

"I'm dense? I'M DENSE!? YOU'RE THE FUCKTARD WHO CAN'T TELL THAT I LOVED HIM! I WAS WILLING TO LET YOU FUCK ME IF THAT MEANT YOU'D FINALLY SHOW ME LOVE AGAIN!!!" Gasps were heard.

"THAT'S WHAT MY SIDE CHICK WAS FOR!" He hollered, covering his mouth as more gasps erupted, this time one from Symph.

"W-Wait, I didn't mean that--"

"I said we were done," she said, more tears gathering. "Get a goddamn clue..." and she ran off.

"Shit, Symph, wait!" And he chased after her. Or at least tried before he was pulled back and punched in the face by none other than the azure.

"Stay. The fuck. Away from her," he said and ran after her.
