Destiny

Chapter 16 : Bait

Bait

Third Person P.O.V.

With Shadow and Sonic

The rival duo appeared from the thin air outside of Vanilla’s house. They looked inside through the window. Unfortunately, they can’t because the curtains close up their view. However, there’s no lights coming from the inside.

Sonic and Shadow exchanged worried glances. They had a very bad feeling about this.

The blue hedgehog reached for the door knob with the ultimate lifeform followed behind him closely, ready to use his chaos spear just in case anyone popped up behind the door. Sonic rolled the door knob slowly opening the door.

The door creaked. The house was very dark as Sonic searched for the lights switch. Before he turned on the lights, he called for Shadow.

“Shadow, I’m going to turn on the lights now.” Sonic called as the midnight hedgehog nodded his head as he went inside.

Lights turned on, lighting the dark room. Surprisingly, no one is there. But, the party equipments was there. So strange indeed. This left them both very anxious. Especially to Sonic. What could have possibly happened to them?

They looked around for clues of their friends and family sudden disappearance. On the table, lies a note. A rather peculiar note. It has eggman’s logo on it.

‘Should have known Eggman would do this kind of thing.’ Sonic facepalmed mentally. Though, his guts is telling him that this isn’t normal thing he usually up against with Eggman anymore since what happened yesterday. His guts sensed an odd feeling. As if the one who kidnapped them was not Eggman but an entire different entity. Probably not a human either. Whatever it is, it isn’t good.

He read the letter as Shadow walked up to him. He too read the letter. The letter contained one paragraph. It said,

‘Greetings, blue and black hedgehog. I’ve kidnapped your family and friends. To rescue them you need to come to me. To my base to be precise. Instead of going alone, you may come with Shadow. I’ve prepared a special treatment for you. Good luck. You’ll need it.’

Signed by Eggman.

Sonic frowned very deeply and full of suspicious to the peculiar note. While Shadow’s expression remained the same. Though, his mind was spiraled with confusion and suspicion. That note was definitely not from Eggman. Its mistakes is sticking out like a sore thumb. There’s no way Eggman would use a good nor elegant word in a note especially to his arch-nemesis. That is just not like him. But then, who did it?

‘This is really weird. Eggman couldn’t do such a feat especially with dad, uncle and mom involved. Unless..there’s a bigger threat than eggman and his robot armies. Possiblly a vengeful god. Or something else. Argh! My mind is so in mess right now.’ he mentally confused with the thoughts flooded inside his mind.

Sonic took a deep breath. He fold the note and put it back on the table. He turned to Shadow with a questioning look yet anxious.

“Let’s go, Shadow.” his voice cold yet determined. “We have to find them pronto.” he walked out on Shadow, reaching for the door.

Shadow turned to Sonic. With a nod, he walked to the determined hero.

“Any idea where Eggman base is?” Sonic asked still not looking Shadow in the eyes.

The ebony hedgehog nodded. “I have a pretty good idea where his base could be. Hopefully, we are on the right track.”

“Alright, then. Chaos control us there.” the azure one in a rather demanding tone. Though, the situation for him to sound like that is understandable.
