A Second Mind

Okay, so to clear up any confusion, the "voice" is sort of like the programming of the game. That's the best way I can explain it. It will appear often, not necessarily as a voice inside a character's head, but sometimes just giving the character urges.

Silver the Hedgehog

Silver felt its presence. Sometimes.

When he did, its urges were strong. He would obey it, even if it felt wrong to him.

He is the one you are looking for. You need to destroy him.

"No, it doesn't seem right." Silver mumbled when he discovered that it was back, and hissing illogical information to him, as usual. "I don't even know the guy's name! Everyone would know if it was that blue hedgehog who unleashed the Flames. But no one knows! This just isn't right." Silver rested his head in his hand, somewhat stressed.

You need to find him. It is the way it is meant to be. Otherwise there will be trouble.

"Oh yeah? What kind of trouble? I've had to fight off Iblis nearly every day for months! Have you ever tried throwing boulders with your brain 7 days a week?! It's not easy!" Silver clenched his fists. At this point, he was aggravated with the pressuring voice in his head. He'd thought he was free of it, too. Once he'd gotten into the routine of destroying Iblis whenever and wherever he appeared, it had left him alone.

That would not be wise, young Silver. This wold destroy the boundaries of Fate and put the entire universe at risk.

"Sounds messed up to me. And what do you mean by putting the universe at risk?" Silver could tell that he was losing this battle. He was pretty tired of Iblis. Plus, he was getting really annoyed with the voice in his head (Was that what it was? Putting it that way, it sounded like he was insane) and would be a lot happier if it would leave him alone.

He sighed. "I suppose it couldn't hurt to try."

That's what I like to hear. Now, go, and don't forget about me...

Oh goody. so he'd have a voice in his head with him the whole time.

Silver jumped up to go see that freak Mephiles. That was another thing he argued with himself about; Silver didn't entirely trust him. But as always, whatever was in his head convinced him to give the shady character a chance.


He just wanted it to leave. Why couldn't he be alone, like when he was young? Come to think of it, Silver couldn't recall much from when he was young. Sure, he had memories, but they didn't seem like they'd happened. Instead, they felt like the very faint dreams that occasionally pop into one's head while they are resting.

How peculiar. Silver didn't like being confused; he could usually figure things out and despised being left in the dark. He wondered if he was the only one who was confused. Perhaps he could ask Blaze; she was quite wise herself. In the meantime, he'd be questioning his sanity.

Well... That happened.

Should I continue this? It was originally gonna be a oneshot, but I realized how long it would be it I were to put so many characters in here at once. Also, if anyone's got ideas for characters to highlight, I'll gladly accept them!

And with that, I'm off!
