Chapter One: Beginning of the End
It was yet another night where Sonic woke up abruptly out of his slumber. Sweat dripped down his skin as he breathed heavily and sat up from his bed. He rubbed his eyes roughly and yawned loudly as he grew even more tired. He sighed and leaned to his bed side table to check the time on his clock that ticked lightly.
3:16 a.m
This was now an everynight routine for the blue hero. He knew exactly why he was awake though. It was the same reason why he woke up every night.
Amy Rose.
It wasn't because he dreamed of her (even though he did from time to time). He woke up because he could feel her wake up. He assumed it was his powers strengthening and they were now sensitive to physical movements and body rhythms, especially in his calm state at night.
However, he couldn't understand why he woke up only when she did and not anyone else? Sonic knew it was her because of the cheery yet fiery emotions colliding. He hadn't approached Amy about it nor did he want to, seeming that would be too weird to tell her. Whenever he woke up, he would just lay back down trying to fall back asleep, but he couldn't…not until she fell back asleep.
He stumbled sleepily out of his bed and threw on a tank top over his exposed torso and headed towards the door. He decided he would pay her a little visit since he couldn't get his beauty sleep.
Sonic dashed through his door at full velocity. He felt the high winds hitting his face rapidly, and that's exactly how he liked it. He assumed a run would wake him up. He approached her small, yet comforting household. She lived by herself anyways so there was no use in it being big. Sonic glanced at the window and noticed her light was on, implying she was indeed awake.
He knocked slightly on her front door, trying not to startle her too much. A few seconds later, Amy peaked through her door to find her hero standing tall and lean. She cocked an eyebrow at him. "Isn't it past your bedtime?"
He couldn't help but chuckle at her. "That's your first question Ames? No 'what are you doing at my house at 3:30 in the morning?'"
She giggled at him. "Sonniku you know you're always welcome over here at any time." She stepped to the side to let him in.
As he walked in, he looked up and down at her appearance. She only wore short shorts that graced her nice toned legs and a tank top. He figured she didn't wear a bra either since her breasts looked extra perky.
He licked his lips at her, but quickly shook his perverted thoughts away. He has always been attracted to the pink girl, no doubt about that. Of course he knew that Amy had liked him at some point. He wasn't so sure about how she felt about him now. Over the years, he has watched her grow into the 19 year old woman she has become, and him now being 21 years old.
She has gotten more beautiful as she matured, letting her quills grow out down her back. He noticed that change in her also. He was used to her getting hair cuts, and it was abnormal for her to just let it flow.
"So why are you here, hedgehog?" Amy asked, cutting Sonic out of his thoughts.
"Um, I can't visit my bestfriend?" He said uneasy.
"Well yeah, but it's kinda weird at 3 a.m" She admitted.
Sonic changed the subject. "Why are you up?" Amy's smiled faded as he asked.
"I don't know. I've been waking up in the middle night often."
"Yeah, I know" Sonic thought to himself.
"Why Amy?"
She sighed. "Again, I don't know. I think I've been stressed, I have a lot on my mind…" She admitted.
"Oh…I see you can't stop thinking about me." He winked at her flirtasiously. She playfully rolled her eyes. "In your dreams Hedgehog. Just tell me why you're really here."
Just when Sonic opened his mouth to say something, the T.V in Amy's living room caught both of their attention with a 'shocking' breaking news story. A woman reporter started explaining what was going on, and in the background people could be seen running away from fires and tumbling buildings.
"We are getting reports that Dr. Eggman has struck again, but he has created a robot so gargantuan, our local police cannot bring it down. It is said that the robot is lifeproof and cannot be destroyed. This robot, along with Eggman, is destroying Station Square piece by piece. So far, he has destructed a quarter of the city, and demanding power over citizens."
The camera the zoomed in on Eggman inside the robot controlling it. "Come and see me Sonic The Hedgehog! Or this city will keep tumbling down!" Eggman growled, afterwards cackling like a maniac. Sonic cursed under his breath and Amy turned to him with horror written all over her face.
"Sonic we've got to go now!"
He furrowed his brows at her. "We? Amy I have to do this alone."
She frowned at him. "But we can call Tails and the others and-" "Amy please. I don't want my friends to get hurt."
She started to get irritated with the blue hero's overprotectiveness. "Sonic what's the purpose of having a team when you barely let us go on missions! You can't do this alone just let us help you." She pleaded, looking worriedly at him.
Sonic though, kept his stoic expression at her. "Let the others know to take cover, I'll be fine." He said sternly. He hated being like this towards her, but he felt it was the only way to keep her out of harm's way. She stared at him for a few seconds before slowly nodding in defeat. "Sure.."
He then smiled slightly at her. "Thanks Ames. I'll be back." He went for the door, but Amy quickly stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. He turned to look at her from the sudden gesture.
"Be careful, okay?" She said softly.
He nodded at her. "I'll be just fine." He then dashed through the door, Amy felt a gust of wind hit against her body. She grabbed her phone that was sitting on the counter and dialed Tails' number. The phone rang a few times before he answered.
"Hello, This is Tails speaking."
"Tails, get the X-tornado ready," She looked back at the television that still showed Eggman's robot crushing the city. "We have a problem."
People of Station Square ran and screamed in agony for their lives, trying to find sanctuaries to be safe in as the evil doctor caused the city to be more corrupted. Building collapsed, fire departments were putting out fires and policemen called for backup as they tried to hold off the humongous robot. But at this point there was no use, the robot was bulletproof, even life proof. This was surprising for Eggman, he had really outdone himself this time
"The screams of torture, the corruption of the city, I love it all so much HAHAHA!"
Suddenly, a force knocked the robot down making it stumble over. Eggman looked around for the culprit who tilted his precious creation over. "What was that-OWW!"
Another hit came to the robot. "Grrr…Sonic you blasted hedgehog SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!"
A blue streak halted in front of him. "I'm here, catch me if you can Egg-head." Sonic said with his infamous smirk.
"You can't beat me this time Sonic, I've got it all figured out this time!" the egg-shaped man said confidently. Sonic scoffed. "Pshhh yeah right, maybe when I'm dead."
"Oh but soon you finally will be. This world doesn't need you Sonic." And with that, Eggman striked at him with a giant robot arm. Sonic dodged it and struck back with a spin dash, but his strong move didn't even put a tiny dent on the technology. Eggman struck again, but this time on pure concrete, causing a ground wave pushing Sonic back into an a wall of a building. The bricks tumbled down on him and he groaned in pain. He stood up and shook it off, then ran up the robot's arm and rapidly kicked the shoulder at full speed, but was surprised his attack didn't take effect. Eggman laughed at his attempt.
"Told you, not only is this baby lifeproof, but its Sonicproof, I'm invincible!"
Sonic growled at this.
Dammit.
"Sonic, hop on!" He looked up to see Tails and Amy in the X-Tornado soaring in the sky and ready to attack. He scowled at both of them. "What the hell is this?!"
"We're helping you whether you like it or not!" Amy yelled at him.
"Amy is right Sonic, this robot needs a plan, we can't just attack randomly."
Sonic shook his head at them. "No, this is too dangerous, turn the plane around and take cover now!" Sonic's tone grew serious and dark, causing Tails and Amy to exchange concerned glances.
"Sorry to break up this little reunion, but I have a city to take over!" Eggman launched a missile towards the jet, causing Tails and Amy to start falling out of the sky and heading towards the ground.
"NOOOOO" Sonic dashed towards the now destroyed plane, seeing both of his beloved friends unconscious and bloody. He felt both of their pulse, they were still alive, but barely. His fists then balled up tightly as he glared up at Eggman. If looks could kill, he would be long dead. He felt anger starting to build inside of him.
"What have you done…"
Eggman laughed at him. "Oh it's fine, they're just taking a nap that's all."
Sonic started to breathe heavily and closed his lime green eyes. "This….this is exactly what I didn't want to happen." A dark aura started to surround his entire body. Eggman rose a brow at him, "What the…"
He had stopped his own sentence, and his eyes grew larger and larger at Sonic, whose fur had turned a navy blue color, and his quills turned upwards similar to Shadow's. Sonic opened his eyes to reveal his missing pupils, his eyes were now just white. He had a sinister grin plastered on his face and started to laugh wickedly. "Why the face Eggman? You're scared now?"
The evil doer stared at him but then violently shook his head. "Scared of you? Never!" Eggman knew he was lying, he's never seen Sonic in such a malicious form. Sonic kept laughing and said "We'll see about that."
He summoned black energy from his gloved hands. He released the energy on the robotic hand making it snap easily. Eggman's eyes now looked as if they were about to pop straight out of his sockets. "O-Okay now Sonic, let's not do something we will regret."
Sonic spin dashed into the other robotic arm, causing it to fall and break also. "Oh trust me, I won't regret this." He said while giving a sadistic smile.
Suddenly, Amy slowly lifted her eyes and sat up from the piles of rocks laying underneath her. She groaned from the pounding headache she had, and noticed the various scratches on her arms and legs. She looked around her trying to comprehend where she was. She glanced at her side and saw Tails knocked out. His arm looked very bent out of place, so she figured it had to be broken. "Tails!" She cried out, trying to shake her unconscious friend. Thank Chaos he was still breathing, but she immediately called her medical attention.
"Hello? Yes I need an ambulance NOW"
"Don't we all ma'am…" the woman on the 911 line stated in a monotone voice.
"Excuse me?"
"With all the terror on the city, we've received multiple calls, so we'll be there as soon as we can-"
"Look lady I don't give a DAMN I need one where I am right now or this city is gonna receive even more hell but from me. Got it?"
The woman on the other line sighed. "They're on their way ma'am."
Amy then hung up the phone and waited by Tails's side until they arrived. Her ears perked up to the sound of yet another wall collapsing and bricks breaking. Smoke filled the street and she started to cough drastically. When the smoke cleared, she noticed a dark figure wrecking Eggman's robot. She looked stunned. "Who is that?" She said to herself.
"Please Sonic, I've had enough! My robot isn't even turning on anymore!" Eggman pleaded. Sonic finally broke through the shield on the robot that was protecting Eggman. Glass cut onto his face, drawing blood and causing him to wince in pain. "Ouch! Alright Sonic I said I've had enough you win!"
Sonic just slowly shook his head at the doctor. "You don't get it do you? I won't win until I finish you." Eggman started to panic. "Wh-What?"
"You heard me you piece of shit." Sonic said in a dark, raspy voice. "All of the harm you've caused upon innocent people, the world will be a better place without you in it." He snatched Eggman out of the damaged machine by his shirt as he yelped in fear.
"No please, we can work this out over a coffee or something?" He said trying to ease the tension with dry humor. Sonic only tightened his grip on the shirt.
"Stop the fucking games. You're dead." Sonic began punching Eggman profusely in his face, causing more blood to pour.
Amy watched all of this frightened.
Sonic?
"Sonic! Stop! What are you doing!" She yelled out to him. He ignored her and continued beating whatever life was left In Eggman. She looked worriedly at this then looked back at Tails.
"Stay strong Tails…I'll be back." She then stood up from the concrete and instantly felt a sharp pain I her shoulder. She winced in discomfort, but shook it off as she ran up to Sonic. She looked at Eggman to see him unconscious and bleeding nonstop out of his eyes, mouth, and nose. Sonic had beaten him into a bloody pulp. Tears threatened Amy's eyes as she watched her 'hero' try to kill grabbed his shoulders. "Sonic you're not like this! What has gotten into you?! Stop! STOP!"
He shrugged her off. "The world doesn't need scum like him. He deserves worse than this." He said with no emotion at all.
Suddenly, the paramedics arrived to their sight with Tails now on a gurney. He was awake and looked towards Sonic. "Big bro stop!" Police showed up as well to the scene, aiming their weapons at the dark hedgehog.
"Put your hands up in the air now!"
"Who is this guy?"
They must don't know its Sonic, Amy thought.
Sonic finally stopped his actions and glanced at everyone surrounding him. He looked confused. He instantly ran away from the scene as fast as his legs could carry him. Amy watched him speed away, and was left dumbfounded.
He couldn't breathe. He couldn't think. Seeing what he had done was unbearable. He spotted the crimson liquid stained on his gloves. Yes he hated Eggman with an utter passion, but he would never in his right mind try to murder him. He would never murder anybody.
But that was just it. He wasn't in his right mind. He blacked out during that moment. That force….the force he felt while being angry, he had never in his life felt before. Whatever was going on, he had to get to the bottom of it.
You almost had him, what the hell happened?
Sonic looked around him perplexed. "Who said that?"
You…well me. I'm apart of you.
This was all in his head?
"Who the hell are you?"
I'm you Sonic. Your form of anger. Think of me as your dark side.
The voice sounded like him, but a little deeper. Sonic widened his eyes. "It was you…you're the one who almost made me kill Eggman."
You wanted it. We both know Eggman along with other villains doesn't need to be around.
"I don't kill. I never have and I never will." Sonic growled. All of a sudden, his head began to pound harshly, as if someone was hammering his skull. Sonic yelled out in agony and clutched it.
"AHHHH GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
Sonic, I'm never leaving. We are one, and I will teach you the ways of the life you are supposed to live, by destroying all of your enemies. This is only the beginning.
Good? Bad? Ugly? To continue or not to continue?
