Author note: I got inspired to write a story of Eclipse the darkling. A character from Sonic universe, I wasn't familiar with this character before. He shows up in the comic but I am not very familiar with the whole comic universe so I decided to mix this character with the more game version of Sonic world rather than the comic. A few changes are that Eclipse does not land on Angel island like in the comic. And the story starts from that point.

Eclipse the darkling is related to Shadow the hedgehog. He is an alien created by Black Death a black arm creature and Eclipse was made for disposing Shadow but that ofc didn't happen. (as for yet that is!)

I recommend reading Sonic universe issue 59- 61. Before reading this fanfic. I wrote this fanfic for fun and I am not sure if I will continue it but please review!

Eclipse POV

I ignored the blood flowing down my body, I survived the crash…but what about my siblings? My escape would have been for nothing if they died. I force myself up on my feet to drag myself out from the cockpit. It was smoke everywhere and parts hanging lose zapping repeatedly.

I stop outside the cargo as wet goo reach my feet, I froze in shock and looked down at the green thick liquid. Don't tell me...they didn't make it?!

I charge in to the cargo only to see every single egg squashed and leaking out its content. Nothing absolutely nothing survived. I fall to my knees and let out a defeated cry over the loss.

"My…Brothers…" I sob knowing I am the last of my kind. It's all my fault, this wouldn't have happened if I had just listened to Black Death. What am I supposed to do now? Get my revenge? Kill Shadow the traitor!? I am stuck on this blasted planet we were destined to consume! Nothing matters anymore!

"I lost my purpose..." I grit my teeth, and try to swallow the painful lump in my throat. This was the first time I ever experienced sorrow, and it hurt! What can I do from this point? I flinch as the ship began to tilt.

"What the!?" I quickly get up on my feet to get a better view of where I am. The spaceship literally dangle on an edge of a cliff. My life hanging on a thread. I don't need to think twice to run for the gate. I throw myself to the control panel stuck on the wall, and almost smash it out of use. The door let out a hissing noise but refuse to open. I stare in disbelief, code didn't work? No that wasn't it…it's jammed! I can't get out! Not until now notice I was hyperventilating, stress getting overwhelming.

There must be another way out! I search in every corner for an escape route, and to my luck find a torn wall. Just enough for me to get through. The crash demolished this part of the ship, and I couldn't be more grateful. I get down to crawl but begin to slide backwards. The cliff is losing the hold of the spacecraft. My claws still in reach of the outside dig into the earth, legs dangle freely inside the ship. I grit my teeth, I need to get some footing! My hooves hysterically scrape the metal surface. But I can't get a grip on something so flat and solid.

I almost forgot! I pierce the metal with my tail easily and bend it down to a platform. That's all support I need for my footing. I throw myself upwards in the narrow second before the ship plummet down. It smashes down to earth with a loud explosion.

I pull myself to safety before I dare to turn around. All I see is smoke from where it crashed, most likely nothing left to salvage. I would have died if I didn't wake up the time I did. I wasn't ready to die…not yet. My spine paining me now after putting so much pressure on it. I rub the sore spot to ease the agony.

I am sure these mortal fools and that traitorous brother of mine will discover my survival…unless I fake my death.

I transform into my physically stronger form, or as I call it monster form. But in my current state, not able to maintain it for long. However, I wasn't planning on using it. I must buy some time before I make my next move. I remove the monster form like a snake shedding skin and let it slide down the cliff where the spacecraft is.

Those fools will assume that the shed form is my dead body. That will give me some time to think of what I should do from this point and so on. I am foreign to this planet and its nourishment, and worse not sure of what I can consume. I might be immortal but I wasn't too keen of the thought of starving the rest of my life on this blasted planet.

But that hybrid managed to survive this long without any signs of distress. So, something else than human should be edible. I would use the recourses from the spacecraft to cultivate the red fruit tree but that was not an option. Nor do I wish to give any trace of my survival by searching through the ship. I can barely count on fooling Shadow with my shed form as it is, especially with my luck record.

All I need to do is to make sure I don't leave any tracks behind, shouldn't be too hard. My spaceship without doubt caught the mortal's attention. My master did after all share the fact that invading this planet without notice is impossible. But I can't say our specie is known to be stealthy anyways.

Unfortunately, something I need to get accustom to if I wish to survive. I clench my fists in frustration and let out a snarl. I will lay low for now before I strike starting with my traitorous brother. He who share the blood of my kind yet throw us into near extinction without second thought.

I will make him pay for his crimes with death! Although…that will put our specie into greater risk of extinction, whenever I like to admit it or not. Perhaps he is capable to reproduce with these undeveloped creatures due to his hybrid DNA. I grimace at the thought, I didn't like to dwell into this but I had to focus on the future.

Besides, Shadow most likely don't care about passing his genes let alone have a so-called partner in the first place nor spawns. But if I am wrong…I let a wide smirk curl on my muzzle. Then First, I kill her then take his spawns, perfect revenge.

I shake my head in dismiss, too much work and I wouldn't get far with it. Maybe I should try to manipulate him again. But I doubt it will be easy without Black Deaths help. Plus, he must have built up quite the resistance since last encounter. Which leaves me to kill him, that I know I can do. Counting solely on one to one battle that is.

I move away from the cliff to look around. Not until now caring about my whereabouts, all this stress was getting to me…My location quite solitude, no activity other than wild life I presume judging on the tick growing forest in the area below. I would warp my way down but have no spare energy to do so. That left me with option climbing, that is if I wish to get off this mountain. Not quite the same as climbing a flat space craft metal made by aliens.

I throw the thoughts aside and approach the edge to climb down on the other side of the mountain.

After a few curses and almost slipping I finally reach the surface. The location is covered in grass and other foreign plants I can't even guess their purpose, if it even has one. What I do like is the dominating color. Bright green color that gave just the right feel to it.

I walk straight into the woods while cautious to not leave any tracks or broken twigs behind. The tree canopy cover the sky only allowing faint light to slip through the leaves. I couldn't help but enjoy the climate and nature the planet has to offer.

Earth was indeed a wealthy planet, even worth settle down on. Of course, requires some improvements starting with wiping out the pathetic insects that currently rule it. Although I prefer the comet any day.

But I admittedly misjudged Shadows reason to protect the planet itself, as for mortals…neh. Black Doom should have raised him not some petty human. They also mixed far too much mobian in him as well…

With a sigh, I blindly continue my walk. All I encounter other than plants and insects is the chirping birds flying around. I don't mind them it makes me feel…less lonely.

I do however feel a bit uneasy due to the different types of trees dominating certain portion of the land. This remind me of several other planets that sprouted out very poisonous trees that would cover quite the radius of toxic in the air. Not that it would affect me, I am after all immune to any kind of poison but it's better to be safe than sorry.

This just made me realize the lack of knowledge I have of this planet. I should have listened to Black Death when he asked me to study earth. I should have listened when he told me to kill Shadow. It's all my fault…

I wanted to lash out at something but that would leave a mark! So instead clench my fists and grit my teeth together. Now I must live with the consequences and do the best out of it, no time to mourn. But I needed a plan...The only thing I can do now is to gather more information of this stupid planet.

Another problem will also arise when I finally meet more civilized creatures. Does my appearance give away my identity? Or will I be mistaken as some weird mobian? I swear mobians are some mutated animals while humans are just nothing more than protein nourishment. How are they even capable of co-existing on one planet?

Alien is the perfect specie and these mortals are too naive to think otherwise! I sigh with that thought in mind. Is it possible for me to reproduce here with these imbeciles? I don't want to know, I am not going to mix my pure DNA with some lowly mortals! The only mobian I have seen so far other than my hybrid brother is that bat Rouge. Getting into Shadows head gave me limited knowledge. I would have taken more if I knew I needed it.

I flinch surprised when something suddenly cover the sun. It's a large piece of landscape hovering above…It looks like an Island but it completely defies gravity! How is that possible?! It casually proceeds and soon not overshadowing me anymore.

I rub my head in disbelief, I must have hit it sometime during the crash that made me see things. I had to just go with it for now and be glad I didn't get stranded on a floating island. So instead of further question its very existence I continue my search.

Plants…more plants…plants plants. I groan loudly there was literally nothing else! I put a lot of effort in covering my tracks which I must point out is hard in this gooey mud. I swing my tail side to side in irritation. I have been walking for what feels like hours without a trace of mortals.

Right on cue a sudden loud noise swish past. I head over to the direction and see flat solid ground that have some sort of transport purpose I presume? I back off as I detect something coming and hid behind the trees.

And as I thought, an underdeveloped hover ship comes driving down the path. It soon passes in a relative decent speed before it gets out of view. It's safe to say that the mortals use them to travel to different locations. I only need to follow the road that will eventually lead me to the mortals.

But when I get there…then what? I solve that when I get there. I have to lay low but also find useful information. Especially the habitants and their culture, blend in so to speak.

The road split into different paths and the one I decide to follow leads to a city. It also appears to be a populated one judging on its enormous size. In other words, swarming mortals within.

But first thing first. I need to meet a mortal just one…to determine my safety. As if Black god answered my prayers I find a mortal picking some flowers with odd colorings. The mortal I assume is a female, hums on a tune completely oblivious of my presence.

She is wearing some attire of white gloves with golden buckle. A vermilion dress with a white collar, and of course a pair of shoes that reflect the same color as the dress. Her fur is pale beige with orange lines curved around her eyes. It also marks her forehead like a stripe that reach to the back of her skull. Her long ears flung behind her head also own a bit of orange on the tip.

Who made these creatures?! I should just end her miserably life, now when I think about it…I am kind of hungry. She finally notices me with a smile and waves. If she hadn't done it at the time she did I might have attacked her now. I wasn't going to make her a meal…yet.

This must be a good sign for me, she probably presumes I am a mobian then perhaps the rest mortals will too? I soon approach her with slight hesitation, afar I might look acceptable. But my appearance in mortal's eyes may display as evil.

She didn't act distressed when I got in close range. I am not sure who created this mobian but that mortal certainly forgot to warn her about strangers.

"Hi Mr…" her brown eyes scan my body in attempt to judge was specie I am. Alien in clear shot not the most welcomed race. But I had a different appearance than my siblings… so that was in my favor.

"Just call me Eclipse." I give a fake smile, trying to stay on the good side of this innocent creature. I mentally lick my lips at the thought of devouring her. I can't deny that mobians overall smell delicious especially spawns, but they have less meat which in turn isn't worth it.

"Nice to meet you Mr Eclipse, my name is Cream the rabbit. Mind if I ask what kind of mobian you are?" I see she is some sort of…rabbit…now when I think about it she does look like one. But those in mind are just pets, interesting. But what can I call myself as?

"Hedgehog mix I don't keep track on my race." I hope she buys that, my brother is hybrid hedgehog but there are quite some differences between us.

My tail is far longer than a hedgehog. It's also slim with a pointy end that could pierce through about anything. The spikes on my head could easily be confused as quills although I only have three of them. One on top curled upwards while the other two a bit heavier only curled at the tip. Not to mention also visually lack nose and ears. I am also not a fur ball like mobians. If that didn't strike as alien, then my eyes should. Pitch black sclera with amber irises and slit pupils.

The rabbit still brush that off as normal but one thing caught her attention no doubt judging on her intense stare.

"Doesn't it hurt to walk without shoes?" I grit my teeth, yes, I forgot about that part. No attire is apparently odd, I will have to steal some and probably a pair of gloves if I find one with…three fingers.

"Well yes but…I lost them." I fake the hurt in my voice. Cream response by giving me a pitiful expression before she smiles…again.

"That's horrible, but I think I can help you with that!" I sigh out in relief, this mortal is downright stupid…or maybe all are. I will use that to my advantage, and hopefully won't encounter my brother anytime soon.

"Follow me!" I sigh as the rabbit cheerfully jump almost dropping her colorful bouquet.

"Sure." I reply before I follow her. I am glad her nest isn't in the massive town ahead of us. She was living outside town which was good for me, less attention.

We got to a smaller constructed…nest? She opens the door before she beckons me to join her. Its clean, nothing I am used to that's for sure! I couldn't guess what the furniture's' is made of but it's nicely decorated in the nest.

The rabbit ran off somewhere leaving me at the entrance, I decide to stay for now. I don't want to wander around in this odd nest. She returns with a pair of brown shoes with ropes attached to them.

"I hope these fit! Mom used to work in a shoe store and was given some that was out of fashion for the year. They are called timberland by the way!" She smiles proudly knowing something about this pointless equipment. I can walk and run on the ground just fine, this will only be an unnecessary weight on my hoofs.

"Thanks, I really appreciate your help." I give her another fake smile and try them on, they fit perfectly and wasn't too heavy. But it was odd to wear them. I wonder what I should do next, I wasn't planning on sticking around this stupid mobian.

"Wait I will give you another thing!" She runs off again, what's up with females and cloths? I have rarely seen a fully clothed male mobian. Yes, my knowledge is limited but I know a few things! Well…after peeking through a bit of Shadows memories that is. She soon returns with a pair of white gloves in her hands. Well this would have been very convenient If…

"That won't fit me I have three fingers." Her smile fade and she take a closer look on my claws.

"Oh, I am sorry I didn't pay attention." She almost looks pained by it. Did it really matter that much? I sigh and shake my head.

"Don't worry, I am fine without." Cream give me a nod before the smile return for no reason at all, mortal spawns…

"So where do you live Mr. Eclipse?" I don't like the Mr. part, is that a mobian thing? I could only presume it was a title, but I didn't like the sound of it.

"Here and there." I answer nonchalant, I don't have a nest of my own no. But I don't plan on settling down in mortal standards. The nature seems good enough for now.

"I need to leave have to find…something. Thanks for the help." She squeals in happiness and run after me as I leave her nest.

"I will help you." My amber eyes narrow in frustration, I can't have an annoying mortal chasing me around. I am not even searching for anything in the first place, other than information.

"You have helped me enough, besides isn't your creat-I mean parents coming home soon?" I fake smile once again and mentally facepalm. These mortals don't have creator I almost forgot. Very odd specie indeed…

"Mom is at the vet with cheese! She won't come home yet!" I mentally groan that little rabbit-thing is not going to give me a break, is she? But then again…she might be a good cover up and I won't look as suspicious.

"If you say so, I am going to town. I am looking for…places to tourist I haven't been here before." That was partly true I haven't been here before…but I can't say it's on my wish-to-visit-list.

"Ooooh! I know plenty of places in station square that's nice!" I mentally sneer, so this mortal was more useful than I thought. I guess I can pretend to be ehm…a tourist for now and gather information.

I trust the rabbit will believe anything I say so it shouldn't be difficult to ask her things. Newborn spawns are far too easy to fool.

"Well lead the way…Cream the rabbit."
