Well, hello there, everyone. This here is my first story, and I hope you enjoy. I believe that I am a bit overly descriptive, but bear with me. It will be fixed around... chapter 3, I believe.
Time And Space Behavioral Research -Professor Gerald Robotnik's Personal Log -Entry #1935
The aspects of time and space that my researchers have discovered here upon the Space Colony ARK are indeed both worrying and incredibly useful to our research. While I will admit that a small amount of outside help was required to finally get it right, we have come up with a proper theory for as to how the universe functions, and although we cannot be certain as to whether or not everything in this theory is true, we are almost certain that we have accurate readings regarding several behaviors of the temporal flow.
While I certainly haven't enough leisure time on my hands to record every last detail, I would like to reiterate within these notes my concern towards some of the once unknown properties of the Chaos Emeralds. Signs point to these Miracle Gems -as the Soleannans enjoy calling them- being capable of much more than simply distorting time and space around themselves. It may not be a fact set in stone, but we scientists of the ARK have reason to believe that the Emeralds are capable of not only shifting but erasing living people and objects from reality.
When I say 'erased from reality', I suppose that I should be clear in saying that I do not mean that the Emeralds are capable of simply disintegrating a person or thing on the spot, but instead the gemstones can actually change the world until it is as if the person or thing in question had never even existed. Through subjective testing in our experimental facilities, we have found this to be true: in only an instant, there is nobody who can remember any involved subjects from the test, and all existing files of that subject, electronic or otherwise, are fully erased from everything. There is very little proof that a subject had ever been within our testing chambers, majorly just several confirmed sightings and reports of displaced air. The subjects themselves, however, seem to have been basically evicted from the time-line.
I myself find such a phenomenon to be nothing short of horrifying. Such a thing implies that anything could change and be drastically altered within a millisecond, or that an innocent person could be torn from existence and all of the people closest to that person-whether it be friends or family- would be none the wiser. I'm concerned so very much by this...What if my dearest granddaughter is someday abducted by the universe itself? What if I can't even so much as remember her? This theory easily warrants immediate further study, for the sake of anyone who has been or will ever be unfortunate enough to be 'eaten by time'...
Outer Space; Above the planet Mobius…
For the sake of CHILI DOGS! Why does it always have to end up in OUTER FREAKING SPACE!?
If Sonic had to list all the places that he truly disliked, space would be No. 2 on that list. The No. 1 spot on that list would probably always be the middle of the ocean, but space was indeed a close second.
One might suppose that space was Sonic's least favorite place for everything to 'end' because it was interminably dark. Possibly, it was the freezing cold. Or perhaps it was the fact that it was an easy place to die in unless he had the Chaos Emeralds with him. Mostly, though was that the worst things seem to happen to him when space is involved, like going there is just plain bad luck.
Despite his growing annoyance at his current location, Sonic was wearing a smile on his face, his trademark cocky grin, not prepared to show his enemy any sign of weakness. His attitude shone out brighter than the golden glow that surrounded him, and was more infectious than his cardinal red eyes were piercing. Or it would have been, had anyone other than himself been there to infect. Well, the Doctor was there, but he was very much immune to the presence of such an awesome attitude.
Thinking back, Sonic felt he had quite a lot of right to wear that grin just then. He had, after all, found next to no problem getting up to that point. His latest adventure had been comprised of himself hopping from island to island, collecting the Chaos Emeralds, with next to no interference from Dr. Eggman. The doctor had been so incredibly busy trying to conquer a multitude of major islands all at once that Sonic had been able to get all of the Emeralds about as quickly as he could run, and he was storming old Ivo's main base by the end of the week.
It actually took Sonic two and a half days before he had reached the main fortress of his nemesis, all seven Emeralds in hand. Eggman was waiting for him, laughing his evil egghead right off its flabby shoulders, certain that he was in the perfect position to end his adversary. It was then that Sonic decided to use the Emeralds, breaking through Eggman's defenses and nearly catching him. The doctor retaliated by quickly launching a massive new machination, the first of his E-1000000 series. He flew the thing via rocket propelled feet, straight into the Blue Blur's least favorite battleground. Albeit reluctant, Sonic accepted the challenge.
So there he was floating in the confines of zero gravity, sizing up his gargantuan opponent. In appearance, it seemed to be an absolutely massive version of Eggman's old robot, E-102 Gamma, with a confident Dr. Eggman piloting it from behind a wide energy-shielded glass screen that replaced its eyes.
"Well, well, well, Sonic!" began the Doctor, "It's nice of you to finally join me up here. Such a beautiful view, don't you think?" He motioned to planet Mobius below, staring at it the same way that a bank robber would stare at a bar of gold.
"Absolutely stunning." Sonic replied briskly, not daring to remove his eyes from Eggman's robot. Recognizing the design, he took it as an invitation to get on the doc's nerves. "I see you have a 'new' 'bot on your hands...hah... Are you so fresh out of ideas that you have to take something from six years ago and just make it bigger?"
"Five years ago." Eggman corrected, pushing his glasses up his nose. His own smile began to falter. "And it isn't any of your business as to what I kill you with, my miniscule mutated mammal menace."
"Wow. Your terrible alliteration skills are doing more to kill me than your robot ever could. Can I just say that I'm impressed?"
Eggman banged a gloved fist on his control panel and growled, frustration beginning to worm its way into his powerful brain. "I've already had enough of you, and you haven't even made a wisecrack about my hairline yet! Never mind! My Titan Gamma Unit will crush you where you stand!"
"That sounds great, Baldy McNosehair, except, you know…I'm flying, not standing," Sonic shrugged. "Honestly, I thought you had an IQ of 300…"
"You dare question my genius? No rodent, blue or yellow, will besmirch the great name of the Eggman Empire! You will pay DEARLY!"
"Hedgehogs are mammals, doc. You know, I bet you cheated on that IQ test."
Finally losing what little cool he had, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik yelled a primal yell and put his machine into a standard combat stance. The aforementioned rocket boosters on its feet flared, and it whirred and hummed as projectiles were loaded into its arms and energy flowed through its systems.
"I'll teach to doubt my intellect, you insolent pest," Eggman sneered as he approached. "The Titan Gamma Unit was hand-crafted to kill you!"
"You made that giant amusement park with duct tape. I'm not afraid of any 'hand-crafted' 'bot that you come up with," Sonic replied as the robot came unnervingly close.
It may have been a bit ironic, but Sonic was relieved by this turn events. For a minute there, he had thought that this adventure might've been too easy. He flew forward, striking for the robot's screen from which it was being piloted. Eggman, expecting this, lurched backwards with propulsion from the rocket boosters, preventing Sonic from closing the gap immediately.
The arms locked on target at the command of the doctor. The golden hedgehog soon found himself spiraling around a multitude of red and orange plasma spheres until he found his target and hit home, damaging the protective energy screen.
This deadly dance of high-powered collisions continued on for quite a while, the robot having a considerably larger amount of damage resistance than Sonic was expecting. Eggman used several more tricky defensive measures, ranging from missiles to confusing arrays of violet energy pulses to screaming his ever annoying battle cries. By the time that the hedgehog began to feel the energy of the Emeralds waning, his foe was still standing. The robot's energy was clearly beginning to drain as well, having warded off his many attacks, but it was a closer fight than was normal for the ever powerful Super Sonic.
As for Eggman, he must have decided that his robot was on its last legs. As the battle began to conclude, he became increasingly desperate. As Sonic bounced away from his screen once again, he twisted the titanic automaton around, cranked its rocket shoes' power up to maximum boost, and put as much distance between himself and Sonic as possible.
"Sonic! Prepare yourself!" He addressed his shining adversary, mashing an intricate sequence of buttons, rerouting the power from the boots and any other spare system he could find over to his trump card. A trump card he had installed with a great deal of pure, unbridled hope, such that it would finally let him win.
Energy built in Gigas Gamma's left arm. Super Sonic zoomed forward and noted this, the Doctor now having earned his full attention. The arm came forward, aiming directly at Sonic, and he veered off to the side, dodging, though the shot didn't actually come. Looking ahead, the hero of Mobius saw that he had made it about to his target.
A sphere of energy coagulated upon the palm of the mechanism, and the metal around its arm expanded outwards. The cannon was prepared for fire (finally, sheesh) and all the Eggman required was to aim, fire, and finally relish his victory.
Eggman took aim, and Super Sonic dodged. The aim was readjusted, but another quick movement left nothing in the Doctor's sights. This continued until Super Sonic was simply to close for Eggman to get an accurate lock-on-target. Sonic saw the end in sight, as did the red-clad, rotund, and relatively panicked Doctor Eggman.
Eggman found that couldn't hit the Hedgehog. He knew had a laser beam with power near equal to that of his grandfather's ever powerful Eclipse Cannon and he believed that he was going to have to sit there and watch it be useless to his cause, as Sonic took him out of the picture once again. The thought was, to him, absolutely… positively… indisputably… unacceptable. The cannon was there. The Eggman was losing his head. The golden Blur wasn't going to let Eggman shoot him. There was only one other target… and that was planet Mobius below.
The laser burst out of the arm with force even old Robotnik wasn't prepared for. The resultant laser blast was indeed so powerful that it broke apart the entire structure from which the laser was fired; a potent explosion that saved Super Sonic the trouble of hauling the machine out of the sky. Without any power, it began to fall to Mobius after the laser, with Eggman screaming and struggling to reach his Egg-O-Matic for an escape.
Sonic was shocked. It was incredibly out-of-the-ordinary for Eggman to do something like firing such a fatal laser at the planet. He forgot about the crumbling Gigas Gamma as it reentered gravity, passing by it as he started putting all his power into catching up with and intercepting that laser fire. And he did indeed catch up to the laser. And he did indeed intercept the laser. Unfortunately, the only thing he had to intercept the massive laser with was his body and face areas, but he was saving lives, so I'm certain we can let that one slide.
As he collided with the beam—the beam which Eggman had believed would flat-out kill him in his super form—he felt the chaotic power of the Chaos Emeralds give out—more than give out—Shatter. In fact, they shattered into tiny pieces upon impact.
'This is it…' Sonic thought as the shot was absorbed into his chest. 'I'm going to die.' His life flashed before his eyes, and he noticed—as this happened—that the life flashing before him was full of faces he didn't quite remember. Blurs ran through his vision in a variety of colors. Green could be seen, as could gray, pink, a shade brown or two, maybe. It was strange… but it didn't matter all that much to Sonic. The last image he saw was a sharp image of his own twin–tailed brother, mourning his headstone.
Despite this Omen of Death, our hero was not simply killed off by the laser. He was actually completely unscathed, though back to his previous blue self—and falling towards the planet at Mach 7. Though miraculous his survival may have been, perhaps the most impressive part of the collision was the fact that the almighty Chaos Emeralds did not share the same fate. Each Emerald had broken apart into miniscule Shards, with each Chaos Emerald Shard either swirling around Sonic the Hedgehog or scattering itself to the far reaches of the planet below.
Sonic was alive. But this moment marked a major turn of events in his life. Or perhaps it should be referred to as a return of events from his lives? (Heheheh… I'm terrible.)
Emerald Town; First Region of The United Federation…
Emerald Town was an interesting little city to live in. It was a relatively small town off the edge of the Central City, founded upon the Emerald Hill Zone, bordered by the Emerald Coast and most importantly, the closest thing that Sonic the Hedgehog had to a stable home. Since Sonic went here most often between his worldly travels, it would only make sense that the small town would suddenly become very popular, housing the hero of the world and all. This meant the place was also excellent in terms of economics.
A place of ravishing beauty; that's how most people would describe Emerald Town. It had fantastic beaches, awe-filled views, and locals who really knew how to treat guests. Looking at it, someone would think there was nothing bad to be said about Emerald Town at all. That it was some lavish little utopia sitting around being pretty. One certain young fox might have to disagree on that account, but that is a story for another time.
Tails was alone in him and Sonic's house in Emerald Town, currently sitting on the living room couch and conjuring up some new software scripts for his Miles Electric Handheld Computer TM. The young mutant fox had spent the day trying to perfect his design on his invention in order to make it more simple and user-friendly. Supposedly, he could patent the design and sell it for commercial use. He still had a long way to go, more GUIs to program, and more basic features to install, but he felt that doing so would be well worth it.
As Tails was working on his machine, he began to wonder about Sonic between the lines of code. He had been gone for a bit, and Tails figured that his adventure should be over soon. Sonic normally checked in on Tails when he was on an adventure. It was admittedly pretty strange to Tails. He soon became antsy during the middle of a particularly long bit of code, and soon he was worrying more and more about Sonic.
Of course, he couldn't help but worry about his older brother. Sonic was, as far as Tails knew, actively storming Eggman's base at that very moment. While he could contact Sonic with his little handheld, doing so might interrupt Sonic in the middle of a major boss fight—which would definitely not improve Sonic's chances of returning to Emerald Town unscathed.
"Maybe I should just calm down." Tails said aloud, as stress began to set in (talking to himself was a nervous habit that Tails had developed in his time before he had met Sonic). "I'll just—I don't know—get a soda from the fridge and watch some T.V. for once; Yeah, just like a normal kid would do when they're home alone."
Once Tails had selected a bottle of the ever-delectable Chaos Cola (Mint Blast flavor) from the large refrigerator in the kitchen, he stretched out on the couch again and popped a piece of peppermint from the nearby coffee table into his mouth. He lolled his head on the couch arm, snagged the remote, and flicked on the 70' hanging plasma screen that Sonic had purchased a few months back. "Now, what can I watch? Maybe there's a good sci-fi channel on somewhere…"
Tails clicked through several channels, but could only find a few repeats of the Chao in Space movies—which he already watched several times—and a few shows that made way too many scientific errors for him to stomach. There were also one or two shows that Cream had told him about, but he doubted that he would have any interest in what she liked. Eventually, Tails' search landed on the SNN news network, due to total lack of anything that actually entertained him.
The screen immediately displayed the major news station from Central City, showing a fiery red female jackal Mobian. She wore a short green formal skirt, had her hair cut in a lengthy bob, and held a microphone out in front of her as she gave out the day's field report direct from Westside Island's Casino Night Zone."—you, Alex. Today we have reports of a very peculiar situation considering international villain Doctor Eggman and his most recent evil scheme."
'Ah, finally.' Tails thought. If Eggman had been found, then Sonic was likely to be included in the report as well. The jackal woman continued to speak to the camera.
"The Doctor was found going the usual rounds with the ever heroic Sonic the Hedgehog, who managed to stop him from spreading his influence across the entire Southern Island Archipelago. The doctor's robots had ravaged the entire expanse of Westside, South, and Christmas Islands."
Beginning with Christmas Island, Sonic the Hedgehog's supposed birthplace, Eggman employed several enslavement programs to capture and control the populace." The jackal motioned to a relatively pitiful looking group of people, stuck in itchy Eggman Empire labor outfits, who were still awaiting support from the military organizations of the United Federation. "Sonic was quick to react and each island was liberated in about the same amount of time that it was conquered. However support to help cover stolen possessions and destroyed houses would be appreciated."
Eyewitnesses also report that Sonic had a final encounter with Eggman on the smaller Carnival Island, where he had set up his main base of operations. Sightings of Super Sonic and a very colossal machine have also been noted. This was confirmed when both the robot and an unconscious Sonic the Hedgehog crashed with violent force on opposite sides of Emerald Town, north of the Archipelago." The screen displayed a crowd of Emerald Townsfolk surrounding Sonic, who was lying in a crater in the center of a four-way intersection, whilst waiting on an ambulance.
"AHH! When I said I wanted to know where Sonic was, I didn't mean I wanted him to turn up unconscious!"
It wasn't long until Tails had gotten to the intersection where his best friend was lying still. Thankfully, he managed to out-speed any random ambulatory services with the speed training Sonic had given him. Tails quickly flew over the crowed, much to their surprise, and hovered down to the crater where Sonic still lay. He was actually a bit miffed that none of the onlookers had attempted to move his friend from the impact site, but that was about all you could expect from people living in Emerald Hill Zone. They were ironically inhospitable and unhelpful compared to their hometown.
The golden-furred kit kneeled down to Sonic and checked his pulse, as well as any cuts, bruises, or anything else that could be particularly life-threatening. When Tails' panic was curbed by a healthy heartbeat and no signs of concussion or contusion, Sonic was turned onto his side in such a way that he could properly get rest. Tails thought this was best, because Sonic had managed to look exhausted in the middle of his sleep, and clearly needed to have a lie-down to get his energy back.
Tails turned back to address the crowd, seeing that they were all still standing there curiously. "Uh, It's OK, everybody. I'm pretty sure that Sonic should be Ok, and I'll just take him back to my house and uh… let him catch his breath, ok? Ok. See ya." He turned back around to wipe some nervous sweat off of his brow. Big crowds really weren't his thing.
As the crowd dispersed, Tails noticed all the tiny green Shards surrounding his brother. 'Strange' he thought to himself. 'Who would go and leave a few small gemstones sitting with Sonic like this? Maybe they thought he was dead or something?' Strange as it was, he figured that if a large crowd had left these things with Sonic, they should stay with Sonic.
'Actually, looking at it… the gems kind of look like tiny pieces of a…' He picked up one of the small fractured shards, and felt that unforgettably familiar sting that could only be a Chaos Emerald. But wasn't it impossible to break a Chaos Emerald? It was, unless it was a fake. Such a thing warranted being studied, and was too powerful to leave out in the open anyways, so Tails wasted no time in gathering together as many shards as he could find, then slowly up picked his elder brother and took him home.
A Blackened Limbo; ? ? ?
Sonia ran across a world of eternal blackness. There was nothing around her, as far as she could see. Nothing aside from the black horizon made of swirling dark clouds, and a floor of the same composition. A vast expanse was all around the pink hedgehog; no end in sight.
'How long have I been running?' She thought worriedly to herself. 'I can't tell. I haven't run out of breath, or even needed to take a break of any kind. What's wrong with this place?' For the first time, she felt the need to stop running. It simply seemed pointless to continue.
She adjusted the shining golden buckle above her skirt, loosened her long purple gloves, and sat down to rest. For the first time in so long, she seriously considered the idea that she may ever escape the horrid place she was in. It was nothing but black… just shadows, nothing else. Honestly, what had she done to deserve this?
It had been so long since she had actually seen sunlight. Years had passed—she could tell—but you wouldn't know by looking at her. Even if someone were to have known her back in the real world, she'd look no different to that person now than she would have back then. There was no time in this place. Sonia hadn't even aged.
"Sonia?" The young girl looked up in alarm. That sounded like Manic. But he couldn't possibly be here, could he?
Contrary to what Sonia thought, Manic was there. From far away, Sonia thought he looked like a dark silhouette, forming out of the darkness. But his green quills came into full view as he got closer, and Sonia could see her brother standing there in the flesh; the same age as he had been back in the day. Sonia felt as though she had spent years running without seeing anyone. Now, her younger twin brother Manic had found her.
"SONIA!" he cried when he confirmed that it was in fact his sister. He ran across the blackened ground and locked his sibling into a tight hug. "I've been looking all over for you! Are you okay?"
"I'm Fine, Manic," Sonia nearly cried as she said this. "It's so nice to finally see you again. How long has it been?
"Not sure… I've just been running as fast as I can through this place, trying to find you and Sonic." The heartfelt embrace between bro and sis kept on going as they spoke with each other.
"That's what I was doing, too. It looks like we finally got together. Have you heard or seen anything about Sonic? With his help, we could try to get out of here."
Manic shook his head with a sad 'no'. "Hate to say it, but I haven't seen heads or tails of the blue guy. And this place goes on forever, so he won't get anywhere by running…Except for away from us, that is."
"…Great…" Sonia sighed. "Well, if there's no chance of us finding him, then it might be better for us to just try to escape. There has to be some way to get out of this place, right?"
"None that I know of, that's for sure." Manic took out a pair of drumsticks from his fanny pack and twirled them around his fingertips.
"You can't remember anything at all?"
"I'm not the one with the photographic memory. You got anything to share?"
"Nothing," Sonia looked distraught. "Actually, this place is nothing but nothing."
"Not a thing?" The drumsticks halted. "No riddles to solve? No people to save? No music to play, or robots to smash up?"
"We could play music, if Sonic were here." Sonia held up a piano-shaped silver medallion from around her neck. It matched a drum kit medallion that Manic wore.
"Um, Sonia…"
"Honestly, if our medallions were working, we could be out of here. But they're not."
"So-o-nia…"
"It's ridiculous, really… Where is Sonic when you need him?"
"SONIA! LOOK BEHIND YOU!"
Sonia spun around at Manic's request, seeing yet another silhouette behind her. Her first thought was that Sonic had turned up, and now stood behind her. Not quite…
Sonic was not standing behind her, but there was a hedgehog standing a few feet away; close enough to be seen, but so far that he was nothing but a pitch black silhouette in the dark realm. The unknown one held himself with arms outstretched, as if he were crucified, and uttered an unsettling chuckle. Then he disappeared in some odd dark smoke.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?" A shiver ran down Sonia's spines as she spun around to face her brother. Manic gasped and looked at her with an expression of fear, pointing his index finger to Sonia's immediate right.
"…Probably him…"
Sonia followed her brother's finger, and found that the figure that had disappeared was now less than a foot away from her, towering over her in full view. It was a tall hedgehog with fur as dark as the rest of the black realm, aside from a few gray-blue stripes adorning his arms and quills. He towered a near full Mobian head in height over Sonia, standing in his same surreal crucified position. He looked down at Sonia with snakelike green eyes and smiled; an impressive feat considering that he didn't even have a mouth. Even so, the muzzle moved as if he had one when he finally spoke in a low, malevolent voice.
"Greetings, little girl…"
Needless to say, Sonia screamed so loud that Manic believed his ears had been severed from his head.
"My…" The black newcomer continued. "That was quite a reception."
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Sonia screamed as she stumbled back in fear. She heard evil resound in the black one's voice as he laughed and then replied with eerie glee.
"Darkness Incarnate… The Devil in the Flesh… A Hedgehog with a Starring Role in the Apocalypse… But if you must have a name, my 'friends' refer to me as Mephiles; Mephiles the Dark. Now then, would you like to give me your names? It the only… polite thing for you to do."
"You can call me Manic…and my sister's name is Sonia," The green hedgehog answered first. He rushed to Sonia's side without taking his eyes off of this 'Mephiles' character. Though, looking at the guy, he figured Mephiles should know what this black place was. "Now what's going on here, Mephiles? What is this place?"
"Ah, twins. How delightful," Manic swore he saw Mephiles lick his lips, but then remembered that the black hedgehog didn't have any lips. "You really don't know where we are? What a shame for you."
Allow me to explain. We are trapped within a vile dimensional prison between time and space, designed to hold people like ourselves who no longer have a place in Mobius' timeline. I, personally, was erased from history by a certain trio of glowing pests and some random princess, and was sent here without my precious little brother to comfort me. How horrible is that?"
Manic eased up. If this creepy dude cared about his own brother, he couldn't be all that bad. Family was important, after all; Even if you call yourself Darkness Incarnate…
"Absolutely horrible," Manic said. "We both know what it's like to have someone you care about… taken away from you. Right, Sonia?"
"Lady Windermere…" Sonia reminisced, but then she realized one little thing.
"Wait one second," the female hedgehog said. "If this is an 'interdimensional prison,' then what are we doing here?"
"Not a clue… You probably tampered with the rules of time and space somehow." Mephiles gave some nonexistent smirk to both younger hedgehogs. "Either way, I would expect that we are going to be released soon."
"How'd you figure that out, dude?" Manic asked in a serious tone.
"Well, as I discovered by watching the two of you reunite…" Both smaller hedgehogs have a visible shudder. He had seen that? Mephiles continued.
"This is the first time any of us inmates of time have been able to contact one another within this realm. As such, I find it reasonable that some event of importance should occur… And what is more important than our own freedom?"
Suddenly, just as Mephiles finished speaking, the whole dark place gave a grand, rumbling groan, and a bright flash of lightning burst across the infinite shadowy horizon.
The black dimension cracked open. It was only slight at first, then prominent as shining emerald green cracks of bright energy formed a spider web across the abyssal horizon. A great chaotic wind whipped across Mephiles and his fellow inmates, throwing all of their quills (particularly Sonia's) into dismay. The cracks slowly reached through with a scream, and neither hedgehog nor demon spoke a word, until everything but them was made a brilliant green.
Mephiles watched Sonia and Manic fall as the floor beneath their feet broke apart. He himself remained floating where he had once stood. Both hedgehog siblings flew directly into the newly formed all-consuming wall of green. Upon contact with it, they disappeared, leaving Mephiles there alone.
"Oh, my—what impeccably ironic timing." said Mephiles. "And the best part of all this is that I heard those two pathetic mortal creatures say that they knew Sonic… They will lead me straight to him, and soon my vengeance shall be more than complete…" Then he began to laugh vigorously, as he propelled himself into the wall with his vile black powers, disappearing in the same fashion as Manic and Sonia had.
Thus ends chapter one, and births a large amount of confusion (Possibly). I don't know... i'm not sure if the storyline makes sense outside of my head. :P
Do please go ahead and give me your (constructive) feedback, it will help me quite a bit.
