One day since we want to get quickly to the action. Two hedgehogs: Marice and Sonic Hedgehog were hanging out since their creators were off doing other things.

Sonic was making a big show of a new trick he'd made involving his spin dash and a tree trunk. He'd corkscrew around the tree's thick body building momentum then right before he hit the branches, he'd let himself fly free. Sonic would shoot off like a cannonball then slam into a makeshift debris pile that was supposed to be a robot.

"I give that a 9, you didn't make as big of a crash as I'd like" Marice held up all but one of his fingers.

Sonic crossed his arms, obviously irked. "Well, how would you have done it?"

"Rolled in a way so I'd fly up the debris pile pile then landed neatly"

"Well if you're so talented...show me," Sonic challenged him, looking rather confident.

"Well I shall" Marice cracked his knuckles and walked to the starting point.

"Hmph...show off," Sonic commented on Marice's big display of popping his joints and stretching.

"Yea I'm stretching, got a problem with that? If you want me to not beat you, there's no shame in it. Well maybe a little shame"

"Oh no, you're not going to start copying me too now," Sonic said sharply.

"Hey that was my Sonic not you" Marice told Sonic then Marice answered himself "Oh come off it you copied him"

"I can do that, I'm him right. Well in a manner of speaking" Marice was arguing with himself, his creator had him as a reborn Sonic. So talking with his pastself was a common thing in his world.

"Quit yapping and start showing!" said Sonic as he gestured fanatically for Marice to get on with the stunt.

"Alright" Marice bunched his muscles and raced forward.

Sonic nodded approvingly at the other blue hedgehog's speed but he still believed he wasn't about to be topped.

Marice takes a running leap off and spin dashes.

Sonic's confidence was wavering just slightly as he felt himself actually a bit impressed. Behind him a bank of clouds began to part. But Sonic didn't notice, he had to admit the kid had skill.

"Eh, you've gotta go faster than that!" Sonic hollered. Unconsciously he scratched his left forearm as it began to itch.

"I'm doing just fine!" Marice called back turning towards the ramp.

Sonic smirked but didn't respond. He felt uncomfortably warm at the moment and kept shifting his feet, anxious about something he couldn't understand. The hedgehog felt....excited for some reason.

Maybe it was just the competition?

The clouds finally parted the rest of the way revealing the perfectly full orb of white light hanging in the night sky. Sonic slowly twisted around and locked his eyes on it. Red veins filled in around his irises. His eyes went from emerald to a golden yellow.

By now Marice had stopped as well.........

Sonic whole body was trembling violently to the point that he struggled to keep on his feet. Claws sprouted from the tips of his gloves. The hedgehog looked at his hands as the clutched and the claws continued to lengthen out. "I....no...I thought I'd gotten rid of this!" Panic crept into his voice as he tried to fight off the flood of instincts.

"S-Sonic your changing?" Marice was undergoing his own change, he was bitten by his friend Bolt who was possed by Dark Gaia. His curse makes him change every night and he loses control on the full moon.  "I thought you were cured?"

"I...ugh....thought so too!"

CRACK!

"ACK!!" Sonic doubled over clawing at his ribcage at it deformed, pressing outwards. His slim chest became more barrel-like. Sonic's muscles were clenching and unclenching violently. Quickly, not wanting to lose his shoes, the hedgehog kicked off his red runner just in time as toe claws burst out of his socks. He dug them into the dirt.

"I wish I could do something to help, my curse is less painful then yours normally" Marice looked concerned at Sonic though it was hard to tell as his face shifted and grew wider "But it's a full moon....right? Then we're both in trouble..."

"Yeah....I'm....trying to keep it...unnn...bottled up. But...it's too s-strong!"Sonic tried stepping away from Marice but cried out as his feet seeming shattered. Crackling, his ankles slid backwards transforming his feet into paws. By now his whole skeleton was stretching upwards and he was already pushing five foot tall. "I....gotta...get away...."

"We both do Sonic, but my bud Bolt taught me about stuff like this. I think it's best we stick together, we'll keep each other distracted."

Sonic's hand crackled. Bones shifted. Pain. That's all he could feel burning through his body as sweat ran off his shaking fur. "What....ouch!....do you mean?" The hedgehog's muscles were tightening like steel chords ready to snap. A whole host of scents and sounds tore at his senses. He could small Marice and hear the transformations besetting his body.

Marice shivers while his fur thickens "It's better we go at each other then someone else"

"Urgh! Have you ever....seen....m-my other half? It....ain't nothing like....my old....werehog....form." Sonic's quills hung down his back like a mane as dark patches of fur appeared on his cobalt coat quickly spreading; it felt as if his skin was literally on fire. Sonic's hands burst out of his gloves before he could remove them revealing two deformed hands with long fingers and talons. Groaning as his bones continued to shatter and reshape themselves, Sonic made a fist and dug the nails into his palms drawing blood. The scent of his own blood excited the beast. *Kill.....tear....rip....feed!* *Back off!* *Kill! FEED!* The hedgehog was losing a mental fight with the monster as it sought control of his mutating body. Sonic was easily six foot tall by now. His ab muscles pushed outwards forming a solid six pack. The muscles in his arms were beginning to bulge, hardening.

Marice shuddered as he stretched upwards a little bit pushing a little over four foot. His werehog form didn't require as drastic changes as Sonic's werewolf shift did. But it still hurt. The hedgehog's feet tightened inside his shoes and his socks didn't stand a chance as they were torn to threads in seconds. Toe claws pushed out through the ends of his shoes before both pieces of footwear were reduced to scrap fabric and a rubber sole. Small ears appeared at the end of his fingertips as long sharp claws replaced his small dull ones. Marice's chest pressed outwards as his once thin muscles started to swell. Most of the growth was limited to his torso and arms as they bulked up considerably; his legs in comparison remained short and stocky but were by no means weak. The tips of his ears tapered back. New sounds could be heard over everything else, including the horrible cracking sounds and groans coming from Sonic as he underwent his own morph across from the werehog.

His fur darkens, his teeth painfully lengthens to sharp dagger-like points taking his mind off the gruesome sounds both his and Sonic's changes made reaching his ears.

Sonic was almost full werewolf now. He was over seven foot tall but was still fairly slim and almost skeletal looking. Then that swiftly changed as muscles bulged all over his body starting with his chest then moving into his limbs. Sonic continued to jerk around as each part of his body went through its own growth until the werewolf boasted a very large amount of bulk. However this muscle mass was built to actually work and aid him...not hinder him. The werewolf's cries deepened to growls. "Marice...." his voice had completely changed, "I don't....want....to fight....with you....." His jaw started to ache. Fangs pierced his gums. Blood. Growling. Cracks coming from his face as it stretched. Nose changing. Scents all over....fear...blood....the odor of a werehog.

Marice growls lowly back "I....don't either......" His bulk was massive as well but not the same level as Sonic's.

Sonic's transformation closed leaving him stuck as an eight foot tall, powerfully muscled predator. However he was still grappling for control over his mind and right now, surprisingly, he was keeping his cool. "If....I can....just....keep it together..." It was becoming harder for him to maintain speech. In fact he didn't know if Marice could even understand him.

Marice was fighting in his mind too, what helped his was the echo of his past life, His Sonic. Both were keeping the mindless mind set of the predator back, and didn't give in control.

"Marice, we're holding it back. But even with Bolt's training we can only do it for so long"

"I know Sonic, just hold on"


Sonic the werewolf clawed at his head howling as the beast tormented him. Blood. He saw himself tearing Marice apart. Feed. His stomach yearned to be gorged on meat and blood. Kill. *No I'm not....going....to....* Desperately, through his trembling, Sonic peered over at Marice with his golden eyes. "I'm.....sorry....." he managed to growl.

Marice's deep blue beast eyes stare back. "It's...ok"

Sonic's golden eyes lost any sense of of his former self as the werewolf at last won out over his rational mind. His pitiful whines changed to a threatening growl as he lowered himself on his haunches. The beasts claws flexed experimentally.

The other beast Marice got to his feet/paws and curls his lip into a growl "Careful kid"

The larger werewolf circled Marice, his eyes practically danced with images of blood and death. *Mine* Howling, the creature charged covering the distance quickly on all fours. Fangs bared.

But the small beast ducked under his leaps and swiftly clawed at the larger one's belly.

Sonic though had plenty of experience as well. As he passed overhead he lashed out with his toe claws slicing Marice's shoulder wide open. The werewolf skidded to a stop then licked the gash on his upper chest. It gradually healed.

"His heal factor is better then mine" Marice winched, rapidly licking his gash as best he could. "</I> There's worse news kid"</I> His Sonic told him "Seems the slice is kicking up the predator mind in us, the more hits we take the less control we're going to be able to keep" "So try not to get hurt got it" He turned back to the werewolf Sonic and growled.

Sonic wasn't interested in keeping Marice in one piece. Roaring with fangs spread wide ready to bite and tear, the werewolf tackled Marice jamming his back on the grass. He slashed the werehog's arm then tried biting his neck.

Marice trying to free himself latches on to Sonic's arm and swipes his claws at his sensitive ears.

The werehog's claws managed to nearly cleave Sonic's right ear in half. In fact it was hanging by a few strands of skin. Yelping the werewolf wanted payback so he countered by chomping his fangs into Marice's bicep; he pulled back tearing small part of the flesh with it. His ear healed up. Blood ran from his fangs along with drool and greyish substance. Werewolf venom.

Marice let out a cry of pain, this wasn't going well at all. His mind wouldn't to be able to hold back the beast's much longer at this rate, even with a second mind backing his up.

The scent of blood grew stronger as it leaked from the torn flesh of Marice's arm. Sonic reveled in the taste of it as he gulped down the small sample he'd taken. Growling, he wanted seconds...and thirds...until there was nothing left.

The werehog got back to his feet, his lips drawing back showing his fangs, his fur puffs out. He was trying to act tough though it was easy to see the injury to the arm was weaking the kid.

Sonic stood drawing himself up to his full imposing height. He was asserting his dominance now and his body language stated he would not be intimidated nor threatened by a creature he saw as his lesser. Raising his muzzle to the moon above, he let loose with a bone chilling howl.

Marice's growls grew louder, showing his stubbornness he rushes and tackles the werewolf in mid howl and rams him into a tree.

Sonic bared his teeth excited that he finally he had a challenge now. The impact with the tree had left him winded and therefore open to Marice's slashing claws that raked his torso opening deep wounds; blood spilled into his lush fur pelt. The werewolf grasped Marice's arm in one hand and seized the other one similarly. He then lifted the angry werehog up to his eye level where he promptly head butted him.

The kid lets out a roar of pain and out of reflex kicks Sonic in the stomach. That caused the werehog to hack up blood as Marice's kick broke a rib. Breathing became sharply painful as the fractured bone dug into his lung, puncturing it. That's where the blood was coming from. Enraged, Sonic planted his wide paw on the werehog's chest and then kicked. Hard. Marice was launched several feet. The werewolf grunted as he reached for his broken rib, digging his claws into his flesh as he tried to reset it. It went back into place with a wet crunch. The pain lasted for only a second as he healed back up.

Marice layed there on the ground dazed, his mind was slipping giving in to the predator's.

Cracking his neck, Sonic readied himself for round two. He wanted a good fight. The opposing werehog wasn't putting up much of a struggle and he could have snapped his spine and been done with it awhile ago.*Fight...Kill....Feed!* Sonic was hungry. The werewolf was intentionally holding back but knew his hunger wouldn't allow him to toy with Marice much longer.

Marice sits up with a growl, his pupils were narrow lost to the predator. Quickly getting to his feet, he lets out a howl in challenge to the werewolf.

Instinctively, the howl struck the werewolf's nerves driving him into a rage as he took the challenge willingly answering back with a roar that nearly shook the leaves off the tree behind him. Sonic closed the distance in a single bound and sank his fangs into Marice' neck.

Marice let a echoing roar and went into a frenzy slashing, kicking with his clawed hands and feet. The ferocity of the attack caught Sonic by surprise as he was forced to back off to avoid having his guts spilled. Marice had the speed advantage. But Sonic had strength in his favor and made full use of it by ramming his closed fist in the werehog with a blow hard enough to crack bone; it was followed up by another punch to the jaw.

Wham!

He would not be bested by a weak creature such as this. Sonic parted the engagement again by delivering another crushing kick to Marice's chest.

It sent him flying backwards yet again and into a small river, that wasn't to far off, from where they were, with a loud echoing splash.

Werewolf Sonic bounded after eager to claim victory and his next meal. He halted at the edge of the river. Marice was lying facedown in the frigid churning waters as the current tried to coax him downstream.

Something felt wrong, Sonic looks down at the water feeling some sort of odd feeling of fear. Part of him wanted to leave and another wanted the kill.

Gradually, Sonic started to unconsciously shy away from the water and for the first time he felt true fear of this flowing liquid. Visions of drowning entered his animal brain. The need to survive was stronger than his drive to feed. He whimpered holding his hand out as if he could drive the water away.

While that was going on Marice slowly woke up, his eyes flicker open and he lifts his head quickly realizing where he had landed.

Sonic snarled at him from the shore, he swiped his claws angrily through the air as if he could reach Marice. He even took small steps towards the river. But in the end his life-long aqua-phobia, which handn't been affected by the transformation, won out and he'd shy away growling with frustration.

Marice gets to his feet and shakes out the water logged coat, then leaps on the opposite shore of the river smileing as the werehog smelled Sonic's fear.

The werewolf roared at the werehog wanting desperately to tear his fleeing opponent to shreds. Sonic saw Marice's action of putting the river between them as a cowardly move and nothing made an instinct driven predator angrier than being denied their meal by trickery and retreat. He calmed himself down a bit then looked for a safer way to cross. The werewolf saw a sandbar fifty yards down. His eyes narrowed wickedly.

Marice didn't notice as  he trying to help his wounds heal faster, he was taking the time to lick his arm thinking he was safe on this side, confident about it.

Sonic rushed from his position heading downstream at an incredible pace. He neared the edge of the bank and leapt putting all of his strength into his leg muscles. The jump sent the werewolf sailing over the river where he then landed on a sandbar positioned dead center in the river.

The werehog stops and stares at Sonic, he seemed surprised that he attempted such a jump.

The werewolf's expression showed he was apparently surprised at his gall as well. But now the opposite shore was just a short hop away. He bared his fangs at the werehog, in a sort of grin.

Marice took a step backwards....

A short bound placed the werewolf on the same bank as Marice; he snarled as his eyes narrowed. *Mine*

The werehog turned and started to book it into the woods, using his better speed to his advantage.

Sonic was mad though now and nothing quite drove his instincts through the roof like running prey. Howling, the werewolf went into hot pursuit. Adrenaline and venom coursed in his veins pushing him to greater speed.

Trees flew by like a blur as Marice raced as fast as he could though the forest undergrowth. His paw-like hands and feet thumped against the cold, moon lite ground.

Sonic's roar echoed from behind him. The beast was gaining quickly as his paws and hands smacked the dirt producing a continuous thunder that was growing in intensity. Occasionally his claws would strike rock, making sparks. He could smell his prey ahead of him. There was fear, adrenaline, sweat, and excitement as well as the lingering odor of blood on the werehog's fur.

He was close, so close to him. Then the noise stopped, Marice could no longer hear his pursuer. It was as if he'd simply vanished.

That's never a good thing.

Marice heard a twig snap from the brush beside him. Then the werewolf's massive form launched from the darkness tackling him to the ground and raking his claws into the smaller werehog.

Marice growls back at Sonic.

The werewolf roared angrily then threw himself at Marice. Claws flashing in the moonlight. Both collide and get into a wrestling mass of fur and teeth.

Pain. Ripping and tearing. *Blood!* Sonic's nose filled with the stink of it, it excited him. *Kill!* But, it was not the werehog's blood. Sonic's adrenaline had blocked out the pain briefly but now he felt where Marice's claws had opened his chest in several places. His healing started to kick in as he bit the snarling werehog's arm again. Marice countered with a chomp on Sonic's throat drawing more blood. The other beasts smaller size was making it easier for him to get in closer where Sonic's thick, meaty arms couldn't reach him.

Both were refusing to give up as they kept going.  But who will hold out?

Sonic felt fangs lock onto his arm again then tear a fist sized slab of his muscle from his arm rendering his right arm useless until it healed up. Marice suddenly leaned over and spat in Sonic's wound. The saliva and venom from another were-creature caused severe irritation in the injury delaying the healing process. The werewolf was weakening.

Marice kept up his attack.

As the werewolf started to weaken, it grew angry and desperate. If he was going down, this other werehog would die with him. Sonic latched his jaws around the werehog's left arm then twisted snapping the bone and dislocating it. He threw Marice away from him as he fell to the ground heaving for breath.

Marice groans trying to sit up but let's out a whine as pain shots though him.

Pain and weakness brought clarity to Sonic's animalistic brain letting the hedgehog get back into the driver's seat while his other half healed. *Where am I? Oh no, Marice....*

"Sonic?" Marice's eyes shot to him sensing a change in werewolf.

The werewolf nodded slowly. He couldn't speak in this form. Sonic's whole body was trembling though as he fought to keep the beast's mentality at bay. He wasn't winning.

"You got to hold on"

Sonic shook his head indicating he couldn't do it. He started to snarl again but then grit his fangs and forced himself to stay back.

"I.....c-c....ca....can't!" Sonic growled, sounding as if he were chewing on razor blades; his voice was guttural and barely understandable. The werewolf howled then dug fist-fulls of dirt form the ground before falling over with his head clutched tightly in his grimy claws.

"I think I might have a idea how to keep you in control but you have to follow me"

"How? I....can't.....e-even....move!" Sonic muttered still shaking.

Marice thinks "You might have to give control up, the beast wants me it will follow"

"Are you....ack....kidding me!? Right now...it's telling me....to tear your head off....just because you're annoying it...." Sonic growled at Marice and was starting to crawl on all fours towards him. "I can't hold....it....any longer...."

"Then let go"

Grunting in acknowledgement, Sonic ran after the running werehog fighting hard to keep his instincts and bestial side under wraps for now.

They soon make it to where Marice had left his stuff before all this action happened.

The werewolf rose onto two legs again before make a half attempt to charge Marice again. Instead, he twisted to the side and smashed his fists into the trunk of an old oak tree; the impact made deep cracks in the trunk. Sonic pounded on the tree until finally the trunk gave and the whole thing fell over. That little stress relief gave some control back to Sonic.

Marice looking though his stuff at a rapid pace "Bingo" His eyes spots gold glint and pulls out a sword. "Cailburn"

The werewolf's eyes flicked up to the familiar blade that had been his companion during his time in Camelot. Something clicked in his head and his old self started to float back to the surface of his conscious. Sonic's tremblings slowed a little.

"That's it Sonic, here's Cailburn a sword we both posses in our worlds" Marice spoke and calm and slow.

"C-Caliburn...." He growled slowly, rolling the word around his mouth having to get used to it again. "I....I remember...something..."

"Try to remember" Cailburn's face appears and he looks to Sonic. "We're both here for you"

As much as Sonic wanted to come back, the werewolf wasn't going down quietly. It grabbed at the hedgehog's mind and fed him memories of all the times Caliburn had insulted him. He called us knave...he doubted our abilities....

They echo in his head "You fool" "I shall call you knave the hedgehog then"

Immediately Sonic crouched lower on his haunches as he snarled at Marice and Caliburn. Baring his fangs, the werewolf crept closer with claws extended. We don't need anyone anymore....

"This isn't working" Marice muttered to the sword "The beast is fighting back."

Despite his now rather angry looking demeanor, Sonic was waging all out war on the werewolf's conscious trying to retake control. The full moon wasn't helping matters. It made his other side wily and highly unpredictable which meant it was harder to pin down and subjugate to his whims.

"Any ideas Caily?"

"Let me talk to him"

The werewolf clawed in their direction as if practicing on how he would rend them limb from limb; meanwhile he continued to circle.

"Sir Sonic" Cailburn looked at him "Listen to me. Your letting the beast side control you"

Sonic didn't even let the sword finish speaking before he was on them with claws slashing and fangs bared.

"Yikes!" Marice lept backwards to avoid the attack. "Anyone else have any ideas?"

The beast's claws raked Marice across his face, scoring red gashes on his cheek.

"Rah!"

Backing away, the werewolf readied for another strike but stopped as he saw Caliburn's cold metallic face gazing up at him from the grass where Marice had dropped him.

The metal glowed in the moon's light. Unbidden, fonder memories of the blade began to surface in the werewolf's primitive brain

When he became a knight "You shall be known as Sir Sonic Knight of the Wind" Then there was when he went against King Arthur. "This is it old pal" Indeed, give everything you have only then will you prevail" .

Caliburn.....friend...not food.....Marice?....Hmmmm....prey? The werewolf was thoroughly confused and therefore very frustrated now.

What really was prey or not?

Sonic's muscles relaxed gradually as he stood out of his pouncing position; that hard, predatory look in his eyes dimmed a bit but didn't leave. "Mmmm....Mmmmmaaarrrice?" He growled questioningly.

"Still here ...Sonic" The kid sits up with a groan and rubs his the gashes on his chest gingerly.

"Sorrrr......sorry," He said, a little more comfortable with his voice, even though it was still little more than a growl. Marice, being a werehog at the moment, could mostly understand Sonic.

Marice shook his head "It's ok, I'll heal"

Sonic whimpered then sat on his haunches; he wast angry at himself for loosing it. I just about killed Marice. It may be the full moon but.....I should be able to control myself better by now.

Marice get up to his paw like feet and picks up Cailburn "So how much do you feel in control now? I hope my Cailburn helped in some way"

"It's......gurr.....rough...." The werewolf responded gruffly.

"Well best to keep calm"

"I'll....urgh....try to," he said, "Now what?"

"Either we wait the night though and/or we try to find someone who might know why you changed again"

"I don't....know. Merlina....and....Nimue cured me.....I shouldn't....have transformed.....it's been so long," grumbled the werewolf. His expression turned angry as he drove his fist into the ground.

Marice pats his arm in reassuring motion "Don't worry about it Sonic, we can find out more"

The werewolf nodded, trying to feel reassured but wasn't successful. He felt tired now, his energy exhausted by his fight with Marice and all the healing he'd had to do. Right now his stomach was clamoring for fuel to recharge but Sonic decided to deny that hunger. He curled up near the base of a tree and closed his eyes waiting till morning before he'd dare to move again.

That's was both needed, rest.

Four hours later

A sudden brightness roused Sonic from his dark dreams. His eyes flickered open and he was nearly blinded by the flash of sunlight pouring into his pupils that were still adjusted for the dark; he covered his face yelping.

The sun was rising pushing back both transformation of the two hedgehogs,changing them back to their original state.

Sonic's howls changed from animal roars to cries as his bulky, twisted form reverted back to its natural hedgehog state. As the muscles deflated back to nothing on his body, Sonic rose from the dirt heaving from the exertion of the transformation.

Marice with less bulk to change back from, helped him to his feet. "That was fun, ready to go"

"Fun?" He winced as his fangs disappeared back into his gums. "I feel like I've got a Piko Hammer bashing on my brain!"

"Sarcastic statement dude"

"Sorry," Replied Sonic quickly, a little irritated although he didn't understand completely why. He used sarcasm all the time

"Well maybe we should head to your Camelot, the people who cured you might be a bit helpful and probably should know about this." "And how are we supposed to do that?" Sonic asked, as he stood and dusted himself off.

Marice rubs his ear "I'm not sure about that, would Tails have a idea?"

"He might actually know what's going on with me," Said Sonic feeling a bit more hopeful. "Maybe its just something he can fix up with medicine or something."

"Right"

The hedgehog, eager to reach his friend and maybe get some answers took off hitting near super sonic speed in mere milliseconds. He directed himself towards the the Mystic Ruins where Tails had a lab located at.

~Knock knock~

On the fourth knock, the metal door creaked open revealing an orange fox donned in a white lab coat. The coat was stained by varying chemicals. Tails' curious face quickly spread to a smile as he saw Sonic and Marice standing on his doorstep. "Hi you two!!"

"Hi Tails, can we come in?" Marice smiled back.

"Yeah sure!" Tails eagerly swung the door in to admit his friends. Right now the Tornado and all it's bits and pieces took up the majority of the lab/garage. Tails gestured apologetically. "Sorry for the mess, guys. So what can I help you with?"

"Don't worry about it, but can you look over Sonic?" Marice motioned a thumb at him.

Tails frowned. "What's up? Then the two hedgehogs tell him about last night.

"You're transforming again? But....that doesn't make sense," said Tails trailing off into his own thoughts as he sat down onto a roller chair. With a quick shove with his feet, he propelled himself clear across the garage in what seemed like a rehearsed move. He didn't even have to look where he was going. The chair stopped next to a large bank of computers and filing cabinets. A few quick key strokes brought up a file folder on the desktop. He selected it and a jumble of information appeared on the screen including pictures of a chained up werwolf Sonic and pictures of his transformation as well as an anatomy chart. Tails selected a specific section of the file labeled "Post-Injection." He studied it a bit.

"When you'd come back from Camelot after they'd cured you Sonic, you were still suffering from brief relapses where you'd transform again around and on the full moon. I created that serum for you. According to all my data I collected after the injection....it said you were back to normal. And you say you changed again?" The small fox looked at Marice, inquiringly. "Is this all true?"

"Hedgehog's honor"

The fox was thoughtful for awhile, staying completely silent as he tried to come up with an explanation for this newest relapse. "Perhaps....your lycanthropy wasn't eliminated by the serum...merely...put down. It may have changed enough that it is no longer countered by more original cure. I'll need to do some more tests."

"Do what you need too"

Tails nodded as he rolled back over to his computers again then over to his lab table where he picked up a syringe. "I'll need to take a little blood, Sonic."

"Aw man needles"

Carefully, Tails inserted the needle just beneath the fleshy joint of Sonic's elbow. The hedgehog cringed but did nothing as the fox drew a considerable amount of blood from him.

"Got enough there?"

"I think so," Said Tails as he examined the red filled syringe. "Give me a little time to work on it."

Tails sat down at his chemistry set again and starting tinkering with the various chemicals and other assorted items that littered the table.

Now the two hedgehog have to wait, Marice plopped down on a old green couch that Tails had. Sonic had leaned against wall.

Sonic yawned and tapped his foot impatiently.

Tails would occasionally let out a small cry of success followed quickly by the groan of failure. "This is tougher than I'd thought it would be."

"What?"

"Well....I can't isolate the venom completely. This stuff is.....it's different then what had infected you earlier Sonic. It's not pure werewolf venom," he explained not looking back at them. "This may sound crazy but....it looks as if it's been tampered with."

"I wonder who that could be" A New voice laughed from outside.

All of them turned at once to stare out the window of the lab.

"Eggman"

Sonic growled, his eyes flickering a bit, as he ran out the door. "What do you want, Egghead?"

"To mess with my least favorite hedgehog, why don't you come out?"

"I'm right here Eggie, what do you want," His voice was far deeper than it should have been. His bare fists were curled tight.

"Thought you'd like to know why you had such a blast last night"

Sonic's golden eyes narrowed. "What are you ranting about now?"

Eggman laughs "Oh you know, a little 'hairy factor' of yours"

"Should have known you had something to do with that," Sonic growled low. He uncurled his fingers revealing black claws.

He pulls out a small vial with a faint green liquid "I've know since you came back"

"What is that?"

"The true cure your foxy friend made" "Wait...." it dawned on him at last. "You switched them!!!" Sonic pointed a clawed finger at the villain.

The human smiled "Took you long enough"

"Give that vial to me now......" The hedgehog threatened. His jaw was beginning to ache.

Marice glares at Eggman standing beside Tails.

"I think not"

Sonic could feel the change coming again but was making no attempt to prevent it. He wanted Eggman to refuse. Then he'd have an excuse to tear the villain limb from limb with his bare hands and teeth.

"Sonic...." Marice grolwed under his breath.

Sonic didn't hear him. "Give it too me NOW Egghead before I scramble you!" growled the hedgehog. His body was heating up and sweat dripped from his face.

"How original...you'll scramble me? Really? Very cliche if you ask me," Eggman said with mock disappointment.

Then he just chuckles "Your losing grip Sonic. I do not have to hand over anything"

"Fine...I'll take it then," Growled the hedgehog quietly. He tightened his fists as a crackle ran along his spine.

Eggman frowns "Aw don't get mad Sonic, it won't help you"

Sonic's lips parted revealing fangs. "Perhaps not...but I don't really care." He howled. Doubling over, the hedgehog clutched at his ribs as they popped and expanded. His spine stood out on his back.

Marice pulls Tails backwards "I don't think it's too safe, but we need to get that vial"

By now Sonic's transformation had gone into full swing. A dam had broken in his mind and a torrent of raw instinct and anger poured through into every inch of his body. His skin burned as thick dark blue fur became visible. He started to grow.

Muscles bunched in his shoulders, forcing them backwards and his swelling chest out. Sonic's fangs pressed out against his lips. With a sharp crack and an involuntary cry of pain, his skull shattered and elongated into a muzzle.

All Marice and Tails could do was watch at this point.

The werewolf's transformation was still going as Sonic threw himself at Dr. Eggman, snarling. He reached out with his thickening claws as he closed the distance with one powerful bound.

Even Eggman who had been smiling up to that point shrieked like a little girl.

The scream was cut off as the fully morphed werewolf tackled Eggman, carving lacerations into his shoulders as Sonic's claws sank in. He wasn't letting the villain go.

"Sonic get a grip!" Marice yelled at him.

The werewolf's large head whirled around with fangs bared at the other hedgehog. "Make me," he snarled, blood seeping from the Doctor's wounds as Sonic dug his black nails in.

"Your better then him!"

"I know that....but I want to make sure he knows that," replied Sonic maliciously.

"Lousy way of showing it"

Sonic glared and bore his fangs at Marice. "What do you mean by that?"

"Your going down to his level, making yourself no better"

"Wrong," stated Sonic as he returned his attention to the sweaty whining human. "He threatens....but I follow through." Blood leaked from the doctor's wounds.

Sonic shook the Doctor violently, chuckling as the human cried for mercy. "L-et go S-sonic"

"No," Growled Sonic shortly without looking away from Eggman's wide eyes. "I'm going to make this goon pay for messing with me. And I'm going to make sure he never does it again." His tongue lolled out of his mouth and ran across his dry lips.

"No!" Eggman growls back "Then take this" He let go of the vial.

Sonic regarded the fluid filled vial blankly for a second as it rolled through the grass. Part of him wanted this whole thing to just be over. But the other half....it wanted blood.

Sonic glances at the vial again or at least where it was.......

The more rational part of the beast's mind kicked into panic as it realized the vial's absence. No! Come on I've got to find that vial or...or I'll be stuck like this! Forcefully, Sonic made his body listen to him. He removed his claws from Eggman but before getting up, the werewolf delivered a knock out blow to Eggie's bald head.

He slumps in the seat, Sonic leaps down to the ground.

Immediately he dashed to the spot where the cure had fallen but there wasn't a trace to be seen. He scrabbled in the grass, tearing big chunks of greenery up with his fists. Where is it? Frantic now, Sonic scanned the green blades around him.

Then his nose picks up a scent...something deep stirred inside him......

He tried to pin the scent down. For some reason he recognized it but couldn't place what it was.

Warily, Sonic dropped into a crouch and glanced around nervously. Something about this scent bothered him although he couldn't figure out why.

It was all around him...

Sonic gradually picked up that whatever was creating this scent was a who. "Where are you?" Sonic growled.

"Your looking for something?"

His head snapped towards the direction of the sound. Then he could see someone near him.

"Who are you?" Sonic snapped aggressively, irritated at the interruption.

"Your Sonic right?"

"And you're irritating. Nice to make the acquaintance, now beat it...before I beat you," Growled the werewolf.

"I was coming for Marice" He could see a shadow "I'm not here to fight"

"Well pal you're gonna get one if you don't scram."

"But don't you need this vial thingy?"

Sonic's aggressive stance eased a bit. "I....I..." He froze up. *Do I need it?*

"I found it over here"

The werewolf whispered angrily into Sonic's mind. *We don't it. A cure is for a disease....do you consider this gift a disease? We are strong together.*

"Hush" The other person spoke "Don't listen to what's it's telling" Seeming to have guessed at what was going on.

"Just shut it would ya! I'm listening to a psychotic werewolf in my head and now you telling me what to do!" Said Sonic, exasperated.

"It's merely advice"

The werewolf was visibly shaking now. Part of him wanted to rip the stranger into perfectly portioned strips for dinner; the more rational part wanted to get that vial back and end this nightmare. *I don't want to be a monster....* *Monster? Eggman is the monster....we are a god...powerful beyond measure.*

Then the vial rolls infront of him "It's up to you"

Sonic still appeared to be indecisive at the moment. Then slowly, on hand reached out for the vial.

"Just remember my advice"

Sonic couldn't recall what the stranger had told him, his brain was so scrambled at the moment. The werewolf was ordering him to drop the vial and he just about did it.

But the hedgehog's stubbornness fought back.

Gradually, Sonic lifted the vial to his lips as his thumb claw popped off the cork; quickly he downed the bitter fluid before his other half acted up again.

He shuddered at it yelled at him to put the vial down, not to take another sip.

Sonic disobeyed the beast and finished the rest of the serum, gagging a bit as the stout fluid ran over his rough tongue.

NO! It cursed and spat at him in rage!

Too late for you pal. I want my body back!

The beast fought and clawed at his mind trying to hold on and fight against the serum.

Sonic bit back against it just as hard. Back off pal! This is my head and you're not welcome!

It growled and spat, though it was fading away. Sonic felt a few sharp tremors run through his bestial form.

"There you go, hold on"The stranger told him.

Soon Sonic began to feel a change take hold of him coupled with the desperate angry cry of the werewolf inside his head. Sonic's bones crackled.

His features shrank.

A howl tore through Sonic's throat as the werewolf tried desperately to stave off the serum's effects but it was a fight in vain. Sonic's muscles shrank on his already shrinking bones. The howl turned to a scream of pain as the last vestiges of the werewolf vanished leaving only the blue hedgehog standing where the massive beast had been.

"Sonic?" Marice and Tails look at him.

Sonic glanced up at them then sniffed the air a bit. "I smell.....chili dogs," He grinned. Sonic was back.

Marice looks behind him "Oh hey it's Mark"

The blue hedgehog glanced back and smiled at the werewolf and waved. He smiles back "Glad to see your alright now - Sonic right?"

"Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," He replied proudly, striking his classic pose with a broad grin.

The wolf hedgehog smiles at him "Glad to meet you"

Sonic frowned. "I think I remember you.....hmmm.....have I met you recently?"

"The Vial remember?"

Sonic frowned and then he remembered. "Oh yeah I remember you now!"

That made Marice laugh "Glad to see it worked" "Yeah he's finally gone! I feel like myself again!" The hedgehog laughed and clapped his hands together. "Thanks a million pal!"

"Anytime mate"
A small story/rp me and ThrilloftheHunt. This is what we have so far.

The Sonic is his and Mark and Marice are mine. This story doesn't relate to either of our story (Stories) they are from.
