A/N: Hello everyone! Okay so I have three story updates that I've been working on and I do apologize for it all taking so long, school and work have literally been sucking the life out of me along with trying to go back and re-edit these updates to my liking. With that being said, I will be adding a fourth story to be working on because I want to be busy outside of school with my writing so I will be working on four stories at once so I will be setting up a schedule here soon where I update a story a week. So with all that out of the way I decided to embark on something different that I think would be fun. I decided to write a Sonic/ Saw crossover. It's not going to be a one-shot, I want this to be an actually story so expect this to be a detailed one. Feedback and comments would be much appreciated because without you there is no story so let me know what you think! Enjoy everybody!
There Will Be Blood
Chapter 1:
Sonic suddenly jerked awake seeing nothing but the immense darkness that covered the room. He frantically reached out around him, searching for anything that could help guide him.
"Help!" Sonic screamed in a panic as he found a wall and slowly pressed himself up against it, oddly enough a strong gasoline smell filled the room. Why does it smell like gasoline in here, Sonic thought as he slowly moved along the wall, trying to find some sort of light switch to help find out where in the world he could be.
"Is anybody there?! Hello?!" Sonic patted his gloved hands up against the wall in desperation but his blind searching was fruitless. Sonic's heart began to beat faster in fear for every second that passed. His mind was a whirlwind of questions, all of which couldn't be explained or accounted for because he retained no memory of the events prior to here. Where am I, how did I get here, who brought me here, and more importantly, why am I here. Suddenly, a thud resonated in the room and a series of lights turned on, revealing an old, dilapidated, room. Sonic gasped as he saw the body of a man lying lifeless in the middle of the room, blood smears were clearly evident on the floor and alongside some of the white walls. The room was completely void of furniture, a couple of lights hung overhead. As he was looking up, Sonic noticed a camera placed in the left corner of the room. Whoever, was behind this was watching him, the thought made Sonic sick to his stomach. What kind of person could do this? The blue blur turned away to his right and to his astonishment, found the door he had so frantically been searching for only moments ago. He sprinted to the door and tried to turning it to no avail.
"Damn it, it's locked." He grumbled in frustration, he began banging on it in the hopes that someone would hear him. Sonic's gloved hands slammed against the door with significant impact, that combined with his yelling was enough to wake the dead but yet somehow, nothing. Sonic groaned and turned his back to the door and put his face in his hands, just what the hell was going on? What was with all the blood splattered all around the room? It spooked Sonic to know that a potential bloodbath had taken place in this very room, let alone a room he had no idea why he was in. Sonic walked towards the far wall and traced his fingers along it, the blood was old and had long ago stained the wall, leaving a rusty red blot from the splatter. That's when Sonic noticed something out of the corner of his eye. In the far right corner of the room there was a video cassette player, out of curiosity, Sonic walked over and picked it up. On the front of the player in giant black letters were the words "play me". Sonic's heart thudded in anticipation and fear, he didn't want to know what was on that tape, but Sonic knew that deep down that the answers that he seeked would be revealed from whatever it was on there. Sonic clicked the play button and was met with static for a couple of moments before a deep, man's voice began speaking through the tape.
"Hello Sonic, I want to play a game. Today is your day of rebirth, for many years you have neglected those who have cared about you deeply, you've turned your back on them and made them feel unwanted. You now find yourself alone, and this time you will need to make a choice. Before you is Douglas Wittager, a man who was corrupted and made a name for himself by feeding off the despair of others. You would know all about corrupted, as you used to be everyone's hero, today that will be put to the test. Inside Douglas's body is the key to your salvation, all you have to do is find it in less than sixty seconds. However if you do not, everything that you stand for will be set aflame till nothing remains. Use the tools that have been placed inside Douglas's pockets to get your key. Live or die Sonic, make your choice." Suddenly the tape cut out, ending the cryptic explanation and rules from the mysterious person on the tape, and a clicking noise resonated throughout the room. Sonic turned to face the sound of the ticking, and realized that it was the ticking of a clock, the hand counting down the sixty seconds he had to play this morbid game. With no time to waste Sonic rushed over to the body and frantically searched through the man's pockets. He felt a sharp, metallic blade in the right pocket and pulled it out, revealing a scalpel. In the other pocket was a folded up diagram of the human body. Sonic unfolded the diagram, his heart racing as he looked back at the clock which told him he only had forty five seconds. With the time counting down and Sonic's heart pounding uncontrollably Sonic looked at the diagram and found a black X mark located on the stomach.
"Okay, it's in his stomach." Sonic said as he gripped the scalpel tightly and removed Douglas's shirt, revealing his exposed skin. Sonic brought the scalpel close to the man's skin but couldn't bring himself to pierce it.
"I can't do this." Sonic thought regretfully as he shook his head. The clock was ticking but at the same time, his heart couldn't bring himself to cut open a human being. It was either that or he suffered a fate worse than death. What was the lesser of two evils, Sonic pondered as he looked back and forth from the scalpel to the door. Twenty seconds was all Sonic had left and with his decision now made Sonic plunged the scalpel deep into the skin of the man that lay lifeless before him. Sonic cut upwards, revealing the man's digestive system, blood began oozing out onto the floor and covered the blue blur's cobalt fur a dark crimson. He reached his gloved hands inside and removed an intestine and began searching around the stomach in desperation, hoping that the key could be salvaged. Blood spilled more and more onto the floor, drenching the floor in a crimson pool as Sonic continued his search. Ten seconds, Sonic pulled out another intestine and used the scalpel to cut it open. A slimy, squishy noise was made as the serrated blade opened the intestine and a key fell from it, clanging to the floor. Sonic shook what he could of Douglas's remains off of him and quickly made his way to the door. Three seconds, Sonic attempted to put the key into the lock but the key wouldn't fit.
"What the hell?!" Sonic screamed in frustration and anger as the clock ticked down to its final seconds. Two seconds, one second, that's when Sonic realized, it wasn't the right key, there had to have been another one somewhere in Douglas's body. When the timer had finished counting down, it exploded, causing flames to ignite from the blast. As the flames reached out towards him, Sonic realized why the room had smelled like gasoline. Whoever had done this had the intention to make him burn. The room had become Sonic's tomb as the flames quickly engulfed Sonic and his screams of agony resonated inside the empty room. In a matter of seconds, he had been reduced to charred ashes, the former hero's screams silenced forever. The door opened a few minutes later and a figure stepped into the room and marvelled at their work. Sonic was only one of many to succumb to the horrific games, now with new lessons to be taught, a long lost legacy had been rediscovered, and now no one is safe.
