Chapter 5: The Truth can Be Deadly

"Silver? Why?"

"It' doesn't matter why the hell he's here." grunted Shadow, "Help me out."

"Scourge," said Maria, "I might not be able to fight, but I can heal." She placed her hand over the wound Scourge made on Shadow's side, instantly the black, now crystalline hedgehog jumped up.

"Now why are you here helping him?" asked Shadow.

"Oh does any one hear an echo? I JUST ASKED HIM THAT!"

Silver smirked.

"What ever faker, answer me whitie or I'll knock that smirk off of your face!"

"King Scourge," said Silver, "You head back to bed, I'll deal with them."

"Kill them for all I care." the green hedgehog pushed his way past the crystalline hedgehog's.

Silver turned toward them, "Scream."

"Do what?" Sonic cocked his head to the side.

"Act like you are in pain, dying or something," whispered Silver.

Sonic and Shadow eyed each other.

"Oh GOD."

"UGH!!!"

"Don't kill me!"

"Oh the Agony."

"GAH!!!"

"IT BURNS!!!"

"MAKE IT STOP!!!"

Shadow broke from the nonsense and ran up to silver and grabbed his chest fur, "What he hell is this about?"

"NOW TO DISPOSE OF THE BODIES," said Silver out loud right before turning back to the black hedgehog, "I'm not working for him. I just got him tricked into thinking I'm helping him, now turn back to normal I'm getting you three out of here."

"Would have never thought of it." said Sonic turning back to normal.

"Couldn't you have done this sooner?" asked Shadow.

Maria walked up to the black hedgehog, "Shadow, don't be stingy be glad he is actually rescuing us."

"Uh I need you to do me a favor." said Silver.

"What?" asked Sonic and Shadow at the same time.

"Drop dead."

"What?!?"

"Now."

The three hedgehog's hit the floor, "Don't get surprised, I'm about to pick you up with my telekinesis."

A light blue light surrounded the three hedgehogs as their bodies floated up. Silver guided them through the door in hopes that no one would run into them.

But sooner said than done.

"What are you doing?" a deep voice came from behind him as he walked into the corridor.

Silver turned to see Mephiles the dark standing behind him.

"Nothing much," said Silver, "Shadow and Sonic escaped from their cells, so as punishment King Scourge asked me to kill them. I'm just getting ready to dispose of the bodies."

"Oh. Okay." said Mephiles, "How about you throw them in the moat."

Sonic gulped silently.

"Uh the moat?" asked Silver.

"Yeah, that's where most of the prisoners we keep here go after they are dead. The alligators get rid of the bodies."

Silver gulped, "Uh really?"

"Yeah," said Mephiles, "Even if they are dead, it's a sight to see."

"Well I guess I'll head that way."

"No here let me help," said Mephiles.

"There's no need."

"No I insist."

"I insist that you don't insist."

"You could use some help."

"I'm fine."

"No you aren't."

Mephiles threw his hands up in the air as a purple orb surrounded the three hedgehogs.

"Crap." mutter Silver as the three hedgehogs disappeared.

Less than a second later:

"Sonic." Maria called out, "Is it just me or do you feel a bit heavier."

Sonic opened his eyes right before screaming and being plunged into the murky waters of the Moat.

"I CAN'T SWIM!!!" Sonic burst back up before being swallowed into the waters again.

"Idiot! Thank goodness there are no…."

"ALIGATORS!!!!" cried Maria who started Climbing up the embankment.

"Boy she swims fast."

Shadow commented before grabbing the back of Sonics neck, Sonic was relived to be saved, but that peaceful feeling went away just as he realized that it wasn't Shadow's eyes he was staring into, but that of a greener and toothier variety.

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Sonic jumped up running on top of the water which doused Shadow in the face with an oncoming wave knocking him back into the water.

"Grrr…." Shadow jumped when an alligator snapped at him barley missing his rump, "You should have eaten him. Not me."

Shadow pushed himself up from the back of another nearby snapping alligator giving him some leverage and WOOOSH his flame fed shoes started up, he instantly dashed through the air toward the other two on the bank.

"Whoa." the black hedgehog took a breather as he shook the water off, (which made Maria giggle.) Shadow then collapsed by her on the ground.

"Back inside."

"Are you sure they were dead?" asked Scourge standing in front of Silver.

"Yes your Majesty."

Scourge's eyes cut over toward Mephiles who shook his head, "You lie." said the green hedgehog, "I guess you didn't know that Mephiles has the ability to tell if something is alive or not."

"Umm…"

"Idiot." Scourge looked at Mephiles, "So you put them in the moat?"

"Yes I did, hopefully they became gator food."

"Well knowing Sonic they aren't Mephiles, possess this traitor, control his actions and words, if they did get free meet up with them and follow them to their hide away that is where they will most likely head first."

Silver put his hands up, "Wait, no, don't!"

Mephiles just smirked as he disappeared and entered into the white hedgehog's body.

Silver jerked a bit before his gaze turned back toward Scourge.

"Mephiles is his real self asleep."

"Yes." said Mephiles with Silvers voice, "And in la la land." Mephiles then laughed, "He's dreaming of that cat girl."

"Good. Keep him that way and after the hide away is revealed, return to me and we shall destroy all Freedom fighters, and Silver alike."

Oh boy this isn't too good
