Gamer was running to Amy's apartment. Jasmine had told him to meet her there for something important. She had also said that the others, except for Alex and Katie (because they were on a date for a few hours before Jasmine had called Gamer), were there as well. When he opened the door, he was shocked to see that his friends and girlfriend were tied up, and only Jasmine was still conscious. He looked and was surprised to see a brown and green striped hedgehog holding her by the neck.
The hedgehog was yelling, "FOR THE LAST TIME, WHERE IS GAMER?"
Gamer said, "I'm right here, Leroy." Leroy turned and was surprised to see Gamer standing there. He shoved Jasmine to the floor.
He smirked evily as he replied, "Well, well, well. Long time, no see."
Gamer angrily replied, "Why are you here? I thought that you wouldn't come back, after the beating I gave you in my dark form."
Leroy replied, "Actually, it's just that. Your dark form. I came to finish the experiment that I started 4 years ago, with that first drug."
Gamer smirked as he said, "You already know what happened."
Leroy smirked back as he replied, "Yes. Every other day, from 8:00 to midnight, you go dark. But, that wasn't what I had intended. I had meant for you to go dark every day from noon to midnight. So, when I found out that you had joined Sonic's Team, I came here, knowing you'd show up." He pulled out a syringe filled with a black liquid that was slightly lighter than the one he had used on Gamer 4 years earlier. But, this was the wrong thing to do.
Gamer smirked as he replied angrily, "You made a mistake. You're the one who's disadvantaged right now, because I'm not chained up." He used his telekinesis to pin Leroy against the wall, then he used his telekinesis again to pull the syringe out of Leroy's hands and destroy it.
He said, "Now leave. Or, I'll knock you out right now." Leroy nodded nervously. As soon as he was free, he ran off. As soon as he was gone, Gamer used his telekinesis to free the others.
Jasmine asked, "Wasn't that the hedgehog you told me about a few weeks ago?"
Gamer nodded as he replied, "Yup, that was Leroy." He looked at his watch, because today was one of his transformation days. It said that the time was 7:48. He turned back to Jasmine as he added, "You'd better untie the others and get everyone besides Nebula, Selene, and Amy to their houses. Then, meet me at our spot in the desert." She nodded, knowing what the second sentence meant. Gamer teleported to the desert. Jasmine then brought the others back to their respective houses, then teleported to go meet Gamer at the spot.
At 7:56, they were at their spot in the desert.
Jasmine said, "Gamer, I'm worried."
Gamer replied, "Why would you be worried? We've been doing this routine for a few weeks now."
Jasmine answered, "I know you're mad at Leroy for what he did to you 4 years ago, and at what he had done to me and the others earlier."
Gamer replied, "And you think that'll combine with my increased anger when I go dark. I don't think that'll happen. Besides, as long as you just stay near me, that'll help clamp down on any aggressive impulses that I might have. Now step back." Jasmine nodded as she did so. At 8:00, the transformation hit. When it was done, Dark Gamer turned to Jasmine and nodded while smiling. She nodded back and set up several "sand targets" using her telekinesis. The sand targets looked like their enemies so Dark Gamer could "destroy" them.
After an hour, Jasmine set up tons of sand targets, because Dark Gamer's rage always seemed to peek from 9 to 11. Things were going fine until 10:00. Dark Gamer had warmed up an energy bomb to destroy the next target, when he fell to the ground groaning. At that moment, his peaked and amplified "natural" rage in this form combined with the anger he felt towards Leroy, both for what he did 4 years ago and what he did earlier that day, to create a "super-rage" that was starting to overwhelm him. He started shuddering.
Jasmine took a step forward as she shouted in concern, "Gamer!"
Dark Gamer reached out a trembling hand to stop her. Gasping between each word, he said, "Jasmine, I don't know what's happening to me. But I want you to know that, no matter what happens to either of us in the next several minutes, I'll always love you." Before he could say anymore, he groaned again and closed his eyes. In his head, it felt like he was starting to black out. Suddenly, a single thought seemed to rise from his rage-controlled mind all on its own. The thought was 2 simple words. It was, "Kill...Leroy."
This thought overrode all other thoughts he had. When he opened his eyes, the rage seemed to give everything a blood red tint. But he didn't care.
Dark Gamer cackled as he said with an evil smile, "You shouldn't have come back Leroy. Because now, you are going to PAY." He sped off, still cackling.
Jasmine, unable to do anything else but watch, thought, "Oh no." Her eyes widened with horror when she realized exactly what Dark Gamer was going to try to do. She knew she had to stop him from doing the one thing she'd never thought he'd do, no matter how bad things got. She thought, "I have to stop Gamer from killing Leroy." She flew off trying to find him.
