PoV: Shadow

I hadn't had sex in a while. Sonic seemed happier now that I've finished. He got pretty moody before. I don't think he's ever lashed out like that over sex. But I was always able to cum easier with him before. Sleeping with him... it doesn't feel the same. I should avoid it until this is resolved.

"You're a handful, you know that?" I watched as his body began to relax.

He was starting to drift off. Then, I felt Sonic shift and get up, I felt his weight on my stomach again. Seriously, he isn't asleep yet?

"Hai," I knew that tune of his voice. It wasn't Sonic.

"It's you..." I opened my eyes and found his yellow eyes staring at me with a smile on his face.

"Oyasumi shadō~" The master emerald had taken over his body again.

"What do you want now?" I couldn't risk him leaving, I had to keep him here and get as much information out of him as possible.

"Hm? What a rude way to say hello," he laid over me on his side, "Demo, arigatō Shadō. You've pleased us with your body again and again. I can see why he loves you. Demo, you clearly don't love him back. I'm giving you a warning, and only once," his hand was constantly fiddling with my fur. He so suddenly grabbed my throat, yet he didn't choke me, "If you continue this lie, you will cross a line you'll forever regret. Fall in love if you please. You can follow us around if you'd like, but if you truly love him, you will not stand against him. You're lies won't live forever. Oyasumi Shadō-kun~"

"What does that mean? Hey," I grabbed him as he collapsed.

"... Shadow?" He opened his eyes... emerald green, "Something going on?"

"No, you were just tossing around in your sleep," I laid Sonic back down, "Go back to sleep."

"Okay~" he yawned as I rubbed his back, getting him to fall asleep again.

Once he was asleep, I left. I couldn't sleep besides him. It still felt as though I could feel his hand around my throat. The Master Emerald won't kill me so long as Sonic believes I love him... He was right... this lie won't last forever. I don't know how long Sonic will stay fooled. We need to get things moving and get the Master Emerald out of Sonic's head, soon. I just hope Tails is ready.

It was the middle of the night when I woke up. I had to follow Master's plans. First thing I had to do... remove the tracker...

"Okay... here we go..." I folded a belt to bite down on and coated my arm in a local anesthetic. I took a knife and carefully cut open the stitches. It was deeper than I imagined it. Almost besides the bone. I pulled it out of place and held a cloth to my arm to stop the bleeding, "I don't have thread..."

I reached for a loose thread by my shirt and stopped as I heard Master.

"Kaosuhīru," he whispered it to me and I turned to my hand. I place my hand over my arm and recited the words.

"Kaosuhīru," it felt cold, but the bleeding had stopped. I moved my arm and there was no wound left, "You show me so many wonderful things Master."

I cleaned up the blood and wiped off the tracker. I carefully placed it within the folded fabric along the wrist of my glove. And created a pocket for it. I could easily take it out or put it back at any time now.

"Shadow thinks I'm sleeping right now," I climbed back into my bed and set the tracker under my pillow. I used the other to create a pile under the blankets.

These inhibitors are draining, but I should still be able to chaos control...

I quietly focused as much of my energy as I could on a chaos control. It hadn't worked... Master... please, I need your help to continue your plan. It was quiet, then I heard the door to my room open. No one was there, the red light on my camera was off. Thank you.

I felt, I had limited time before anyone noticed. I needed to do this now. If I can test this, I can get Eggman to follow my orders instead of Shadow. Sorry Shadow, I won't be obeying you anymore. You aren't worthy of being a leader.

PoV: Tails

"Do we really need to use the whole city?" The mayor of the next town wiped his sweaty brow with a handkerchief.

"We do. We need every able-bodied civilian to help. We need to form a Rebellion to make this work. If we don't stop Eggman now, there won't be a Mobius left to save. Please, we have a plan. Let us stop the war," I pleaded.

"Alright. If you're so sure Eggman is targeting here next, we'll do it," The Mayor agreed and the civilians were waiting for the plan.

"Alright," I set down a stack of blue prints, "This is the plan."
