New enemies rise and if he is to have any hope of defeating them, he has to unlock the powers of his bloodline and its secrets as well as forgive those who betrayed him. My first fic so be patient.

1. Betrayal

I own nothing but the story

The rest belongs to Sega

5 years ago

Sonic limped out of the wreckage that had been Eggman's base, his eyes blazing with rage at what had happened only 20 minutes ago.

(Flashback)

"I'm out of here!" Shadow screamed from the pile of E-series robots and ran off. Rouge flew after him after giving Sonic an apologetic look. "Sorry but we done this for far too long Honey."

Then Tails, the closest thing Sonic had for a brother, turned to leave. One by one each member of the team left until Sonic was alone.

"What's wrong Sonic? Your friends left you? Too bad, for me that is. Now I the only person I can kill is you. But don't worry, your friends will be next after I send them your dead body. " Eggman's goading voice floated down from the last remaining robot, its size making the others look like toys.

Rage contorted Sonic, turning his blue fur into a darker shade. A black aura surrounded him, far stronger than the power of Dark Sonic. "Well then let's see what you are made of Egghead." Sonic's voice now had an unmistakable growl to it. A few minutes later Eggman had his robots reduced to scrap metal. His limp body was nothing more than bits of blood and bone. Sonic stood in the middle of the destruction, the only survivor.

"I always thought of them as a family. How could they abandon me when I needed them most? " Sonic grumbled as he made his way back home. It wasn't easy with a broken leg, fractured ribs and several other deep cuts. He heard a familiar voice call his name but chose to ignored it. He knew who it was. His 'friends', the ones who forsaken him. "How could I ever see them again after the incident? Forget it. They made their choice and I make mine now." Ignoring the pain and the cries, he went forward never looking back.

Now

Selkadoom shook his head to clear it as the memory came back, the time he was hurt the most. He had went back to his house and burnt it to the ground while making sure no traces were left. He couldn't bear to see the place where he had spent so many happy times before the betrayal. "Why can't I just forget the past? Ugh no point thinking about it now. Sonic is dead. The only one left is Selkadoom." He thought to himself.

Little did he know that a surprise was waiting for him the next day.
