X PROLOGUE X

The dark dimension, the place where everything that destroyed the world beyond repair, the twelve guardians sealed up the part and rebuilt it, (crisis city, the place where perfect chaos was, westopolis, the jungle in shadow the hedgehog) and the monsters that where still defeated, their ghosts remain (biolizard, perfect chaos, Iblis flames of destruction, dark gaia, any final boss practically) in this dark zone, and in this evil, destroyed dimension, there was millions of anthropic animals (the sonic-y people) the daughter and sons of prisoners long sense gone, the people where sent there with their island as a prison sentence, and it has long served as an inescapable prison to all its members, with new evils being put in there regularly, now the twelve influence all the ins and outs of this prison, one is the "warden" the head policeman, in a way, if anyone tries to escape, he kills them.

One of the "inmates" of this evil prison is not like the rest, he has no memory of the outside world of Mobius, or earth, he only remembers the dark dimension, he is innocent, to a point, and this one, will escape, or die trying

X dark dimension, Crisis City, Destroyed glass building X

"die" several Iblis worms and soldiers where impaled with crystal spears, their bodies disappearing, along with the white dark blue black crystals, several where cut to ribbons, a hedgehog landed on the other side, he was a pale black, with rocket shoes, with pale white and dark blue crystal crystals lining the edges, and no rockets on the bottom, it was just flat, he had a flair of fur coming off of his ankles, seeming like a dark blue crystal, but not, he legs where all pale black except for a small dark blue circle halfway up his legs, his chest had white hair tinged pale pale blue, it went around his neck, flaring out on the sides, crystal on the ends, his arms where pale black as well, with the same flair for his ankles, on his gloves where blue-black line, when he flicked his wrists, black crystals as hard as metal, creating the sharp claws he used to slice the Iblis enemies to ribbons earlier, on his ankles and wrists was a black band on them looking like large handcuffs, and on his wrists they had two chain links coming off it, it identified him as a Dark dimension special prisoner, he hated them, it restricted his power to 80%, he hated it so much, it made fighting boring, anyway, had a muzzle that was pale, and a small black nose, the fur by his cheeks where roughed and spiky, he had two spines on the side of his head, that pointed up at the ends, they had a pale blue stripe running from the base to the tip of the spike, he had two spikes coming down the middle back of his head, the top one bigger than the bottom, they had the pale blue stripe as well, and the tip above his head had two spikes coming out the side, his ears had pale skin on the inside, and the tips where roughed up as well, crystalline on the edges, his eyebrows had the same pale blue tint on the inside, ending crystalline as well (yes, he's a crystalline hedgehog, if u didn't already know) , when he open his eyes after killing the enemy, his eyes where green and slightly reptilian like, his eyelid covered the top part of the whites of his eyes he looked annoyed, because he was, very very annoyed.

"alright, this is annoying" he had a youthful voice, one of someone who is 18, but had a very very dark tone to it, "I'm just gonna blow this place up" he held out his hand a black chaos emerald landed in his hands, he flipped it once, caught it, then disappeared.

The building exploded a second later from the bomb he set on the bottom of the building.

"Strife, you are late, and you killed more of my men, and destroyed more of my buildings" out of the gigantic fire tornado, a face of the demonic Iblis, flames of destruction, looked at the now named hedgehog, he stood and had his hands out in front of him and to the side, to signal that he is friendly,

"My name is strife, it means fighting, killing and general destruction, I need to live up to it, and if I remember right, you gave me that name" Strife countered easily, Iblis saved strife when he was transported into the dark dimension, and Iblis became a sort of father for him.

"True, now die" when Iblis wasn't trying to killing Strife, that is. Out of the tornado, several cars went flying at him, strife just held out his hands, and dark energy spears shot out of his hands and destroyed them, then they disappeared.

"next time, a sneak attack would be better" strife commented, strife heard the footsteps behind him, then spun on his heels and flicked his crystal claws out, in a flash the scrape of metal blade on metal blade as strife caught a broadsword on his clawed hands, the sword had white etchings in it, with a gold hilt, the holder was a white bird, with its wings behind him and his hands holding the swords, he was all white hand had a white robe on as well, he was a dove, and had dove wings to prove it, his beak was curved up in a sarcastic smile, his all white boots trying to get as much grip on the ruined road they were grappling on, strife pushed back the dove's sword, launching the dove into the air, the dove righted itself and flapped his wings to keep aloft, his sword was in its white scabbard on the dove's waist, strife's green eyes meeting the grey dove's eyes, "Nazo of the light" strife identified the bird.

"ah, yes, glad you remember, darkness incarnate" that name was what the twelve gatekeepers gave him instead of recognizing his name, strife the hedgehog, Nazo was 25, and a keeper of the 12 gates to the dark dimension, and the king of the Babylonian race (birdies), and was the "warden"

"it's strife" the darkness incarnate stated angrily,

"shure, I'm gonna forget it anyway, let's just fight as we always do, let's have a good clean destruction!" Nazo flew forward and re-drew his sword, strife jumped forward and slashed his claws, they clashed creating black and white shockwaves, they went into a frenzy of dodging and slashing, each clash ringing out from where they stood, this went on for a around 10 minutes, after that they were grappling again, but this time strife erupted in black flame that crystalizeed a second later. Nazo jumped back, Strife contained the fire so it was just around his feet, he flew up into the air, Nazo flew towards strife, then slashed at him, he disappeared into darkness, a second later he appeared out of Nazo's shadow and put his crystal clawed hand around Nazo's neck

"I don't want to break a pigeon's neck, right?" he said darkly, Nazo nodded, then Strife disappeared and reappeared a few feet away from Nazo, looking at him, floating up using the black-purple fires "so then what do you want from me" Strife asked annoyed, he doesn't like breaking up a fight when he can, so his abrupt end to the match shortened their usual hour match, it was now 30 minutes long, he only used cowardly tactics like shadow attacks only when necessary, wherever you went in the dark dimension, you fought, it was traditional for two people, instead of shaking hands as a greeting, to trade a few blows instead, so he had a set version of fighting for him because if this.

"well, I have a proposition for you" Nazo said, he usually gave Strife a mission every now and then to kill a potential escape, so he could see glimpses of Mobius , so strife nodded

"so, what do you want? Again" Strife said annoyed even more annoyed

"I need you to help someone" The dove said. Strife raised his eyebrows, his ear twitching slightly

"who?" Strife ventured

"shadow the hedgehog, on Mobius" strife grew puzzled at the name, it seemed to be important to him, he got a flash of anger, then it went away, his memory prevented him from ever even thinking that he ever had a life before the dark dimension, also there was the Mobius part

"He's on Mobius? How do I do that?" Strife asked in disbelief

"well, you're going there, of course, I'll bring you, you have two months to find him, and help him" Nazo said laughing

"what do I have to do to help shadow, or first, what is my reward" strife was having a hard time hiding his excitement, he still held it in.

Nazo of the light to a deep breath "well, if you help, you are free to live on Mobius and do as you please, and the thing you have to do is, Revive Maria Robotnick"
