Ok, thanks for the reviews people.  Miles, glad to see you're back on FF.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic, SEGA does.  But if I did...

**************************************************

Sonic skidded to a halt in front of a large grey building.  The letters NOMR were marked clearly on the wall in front of him.  The whole building was surrounded by a wire fence, which was lined with barbed wire.  There was one gate that was tall and electrified, no way in there.

"Ok," Sonic whispered into the communicator Chris had given him.  "I'm here.  How do I get in?"

"There's no way in except the gate.  Amy can make a distraction, as soon as the gate opens, run in, I'll guide you from there."

"Right." Sonic ran forward and crouched beside the fence.  Almost instantly he saw Amy run to the fence and start hitting it with her piko hammer.  As the gate opened, Amy ran and hid, whilst Sonic ran inside.

"You in?" A voice asked over the communicator.

"Yeah."

"Ok, look for an air vent, once inside, put your scope on." Chris ordered and Sonic began scanning the building.  He smiled as his eyes landed on a small air vent high up the wall.  The blue hedgehog climbed up a pile of boxes and removed the cover of the vent.  He quickly crawled in and put the scope on as Chris had said.  Finding no threats, Sonic began to crawl along the duct.  He rounded the corner to find one laser scanning up and down the vent.  Sonic began to crawl again, ducking as the laser passed over his head.  Sonic was relieved to find the end of the tunnel with the laser as he turned the corner.

"Where do I go now?" He asked.

"Keep crawling until you find a grating with what looks like a lab beneath you.  Once there, be cautious, and go down into the lab.  If Tails is here, that's where he'll be."  Sonic nodded and began crawling forward.  He crawling through many twists and turns but finally found what he was searching for.  He slipped out of the vent, and making sure no one was there, he scanned the cages for his friend.

"Sonic, is he there?" Chris asked, but before Sonic got a chance to reply, two scientists entered the room.

"Wha?  Security!"  Sonic ran forward and used to two men as steps up to the air vent.

"He's in the vent." He heard one of them call.  Suddenly, lasers started firing randomly towards the vent.  Sonic sped up his crawl.  He reached the tunnel with the laser and hurried along it, narrowly missing it's red beam.  As he reached the end of the vent, he slid outside onto the pile of boxes and noticed that the gate was still open to allow a group of guards in.  Sonic sped past them, grabbing Amy's arm on the way, and back to Chris' house.  When Sonic arrived at the house he went up the stairs and into the lab.  He took one look at their faces and sighed,

"No luck huh?"

A young fox lay almost perfectly still in a small, cramped cage.  His twin tails rested over him like a blanket.  The only movement he made was his chest rising and falling as he breathed in and out, and the occasional shiver he omitted.  A tall man with long black hair and sunglasses marched along the white hall where the cages were.  Two buff looking men in black suits and a scientist followed him.  He stopped in front of the cage where Tails lay and looked down at the scientist,

"Is this it?" He asked gruffly.

"Y-yes sir.  We captured him l-last night, sir." The scientist stammered.

"Good." The man with long hair typed a code in the side of the cage and opened the barred door, causing its still weak prisoner to wake up.  "Begin tests immediately.  We have three days, then we have to hand him over.  I want to get as much research done as possible."  One of the men in suits picked up the now trembling fox and pulled out what looked like a collar.  He quickly fitted it on Tails and handed him to the long-haired man.  As soon as the man took the kitsune, they began walking back the way they came.  They carried on walking until they came to a metal door.  The scientist typed in a code and leaned forward to allow a machine to do an iris scan.  The door slid open and closed again as they entered.  The room they walked into was empty, except for a few boxes and broken machines.  The group walked to one end of the room and typed a code into a small computer, making what looked like a wall to part and giving them entrance into an elevator.  They went inside and pressed a button, there was a smooth gushing noise as the lift went down and stopped abruptly.  The doors opened and they stepped out into a huge lab.  Tanks filled with a green liquid lined the walls, whilst computers and one table with metal straps took up the centre.  On one wall there was a large silver cabinet beside another tank, this one filled with a white liquid.  As the door to the lift opened, all the scientists present turned to see who entered.  When they saw who it was, they all gasped, dropped what they were doing and saluted the man.

"Vingt, sir!" They all said in unison.  Vingt walked into the middle of the room.

"At ease." He said and everyone relaxed and picked up their work.  Vingt held up Tails by his namesakes, receiving a yelp from the frightened fox.  "I want you to forget everything you've been doing and focus on this until further notice." He ordered.  "I will be visiting again at some point, so no slacking!"  He handed Tails to the scientist he had been with, "I'll leave you in charge Acht.  Don't fail me." He turned on his heel and left.  Acht smile evilly don't at the trembling fox.

"Where am I?" He asked weakly.  The scientist threw Tails on the table and began strapping him down.

"You're in a research lab." He said holding Tails down so he couldn't escape while he was being tied down.  "And today, we're studying you."  He clicked his fingers and a scientist who looked to be in his twenties hurried over to him.  "Get me two syringes with clean needles, an empty bottle and a bottle of formula T." He ordered.  The other scientist ran off and soon he was back with the equipment.

"Now Foxboy, hold still."  Acht leaned forward and plunged the empty syringe into Tails' arm, causing the fox to scream.  Acht waited until the syringe was filled with Tails' blood then took it out.  He handed the once empty syringe to the other scientist, who emptied it into the empty bottle.  Acht then got the second syringe, and half filled it with a clear white liquid.  He then stuck this in Tails' arm as well.  There was a moment of pain, and then everything went black.
