Chapter 1 "Beginnings"

The Life of a Dictator

Blake the hedgehog sat down with a worried expression on his face; he was awaiting news from one of his newer commanders.

He stood in front of his house while Sarah was talking with Spike inside.

Something was stirring in Blake, he knew something was up and he needed to keep it a secret.

He hadn't told Sarah he was planning a strike yet, he wanted to take Sonic's planet by force but hesitated to tell his family.

Blake's Quills were stuck up like a Mohawk, he was younger at this age and restless and impatient to get things out of the way, he hated delay.

There were red strikes along his quills and his spiked up quills, he was wearing a metal belt with golden decorated rings; he had a set of armor put away but of out sight of his wife and kid.

All his life he'd wanted a special meaning the power to change things whether good or bad was his purpose.

But as of now he had not made up his mind as he was never put into the situation he wanted so badly.

Sarah had completely different views, she hated the thought of Blake becoming something more then her husband; but their relationship was all but there they started drifting apart and each day each one of them tried changing the subject off each other's business.

Blake had been secretly building an organization, they lived in a remote area of Sonic's planet and because of this it made getting information and getting caught harder.

"I wonder why Alec has not shown up yet." Blake wondered.

Blake's voice was not very deep, later his voice would darken and he would be a little more different.

As of now he was just impatant and eager for every little thing conserning his plan to come to action.

He was peppy but more a laid back peppy.

Blake's eyes dotted over at Spike who was playing with the grass pulling it apart and letting the wind take it into the sky.

"Spike? What are you doing up so early?" Blake asked.

The sun was still coming up and it was a very early day, Blake had woken up on purpose to get information for one of the people in his growing society.

Spike had quills like Blake but not pointed up so high as more rough and spiky which explained his name.

Spike ran to his father quickly and excitedly, Blake had no reason to neglect his son for he had no doubt in his mind his family would be beside him when he explained everything.

"Hello Spike." Blake said rubbing the top of Spike's head.

Little Spike smiled and ran back over to the rock to continue being by himself.

Blake crept to another side of the house so as to be sure not to be in sight.

Alec was Blake's information, he gave him all the news and he was running late.

There was a chilling sound to the wind.

Blake walked forward to see if Alec had showed up in a different spot.

Sure enough Captain Alec stood behind a bush.

"Blake Sir we have great news, your group had twenty more recruits and are immediately being trained." said Alec. "Also your strategies are a brilliant adaptation for the war effort but we will have difficulties on the side of the world nearest Green Hill Zone I'm afraid."

"Why would that be a problem? I've heard it's the lowest crime rate so less protectors so it should be easiest to capture."

"The reason the crime is so low Sir is because there's a self proclaimed hero among its inhabitance." said Alec. "If you're to take it you'll need to keep your other attacks under the radar Sir, if you want to change the world it will be difficult to do such in secret."

"I don't want to hear this news right now, lets focus on the task at hand, congratulate the recruits and assure them I will make myself present to them eventually." said Blake. "But I need to get things straight first…I'm hoping Sarah will be with me but I have not told her yet…"

"Sir is that wise? You know as well as I Sarah is against ANY dictatorship and knowing your views on a harsh and sadistic point of view…" Alec said stuttering.

"Sadistic? Well it is true I plan on making examples but it will let them learn their place, I've been in the dark to long." said Blake with a sound of confusion to his voice. "Either way when I have my empire, I'm sure Sarah will go along with it, if not I'll have to push forward without her approval."
