HEYO GUYS!~

I'm making another story! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA! XD!

I won't get into details, you'll just have to read!


Dear Diary, Day 23

Things have changed drastically the day it happened. I still remember the event, the atmosphere was something you would want to forget and never remember ever again. The screams of innocent people, the cries of defenceless children, it made me enraged, I couldn't do anything! The buildings crumbled and fell, the ground fell below our feet, and the sky had droplets of liquid that I despised too much for my liking. I lost everything that day, my friends, my family, the nice days that we cherished, it's all gone. There's nothing left in this wasteland, in which we used to call home. No signs of life at all, there's no plants, barely any water, and no civilization. I'm lucky I'm even alive, and I may be just a little happy for once because I have people alive along with me. Trust me, some have changed much, maybe even a little too much for my broken down brain to even handle. The event had hit them too hard that it may have pushed them over the edge. I can't say anything much about me, except for that I have changed along with them. The cause of this apocalypse is someone who I hate too much, his shiny cobalt blue metal was covered in nice and warm crimson blood. The doctor went too far, he's out of control again, he's killed millions, even his creator. All hope is lost, I can't do anything about this, I've only been in hiding along with the survivors with me. The trigger is still searching for me, he wants me dead, there can only be one true hedgehog. I wouldn't even say that he was a metal hedgehog anymore. He's more of a giant gargantuan powerhouse that crushed anything in it's path. I couldn't even tell what type of species he even was, all I know is that he is something to look out for. My friends… they're gone, I can't believe it, I cried in secret every single night. They were everything to me, I miss them so much, I can only see the terror in their eyes when they were… killed. I remember the maniacal laugh that filled the atmosphere when he did it. Oh I swear to chaos, I want him dead, I want to see the insides of this murderer scattered across this rugged terrain. I can't even keep my sanity at this point, all of my good thoughts and positivity are nothing but faded memory. I feel more vicious and insecure around anyone at this point, if there was anyone… But I can't think like that, I have a few friends with me. See! There I go! There's some positive things! I'm sure I can keep this up around my friends… my only friends, Silver the Hedgehog and his sidekick, Blaze the Cat, Rouge the Bat was along with. Another survived in this wasteland, she was the once cheerful and happy pink hedgehog that had a huge crush on me. Her name… is Amy Rose. Cream had died in front of Amy that day, she tried helping her, I couldn't help but see the terror in their eyes. We couldn't save the innocent rabbit, but we saved her Chao, Cheese. There is another survivor and it didn't surprise me one bit, Shadow the Hedgehog. He was the ultimate life form after all, nothing was guaranteed to kill him, he's survived countless times. Let's just hope that he could help us, I don't want to lose anymore friends. I'm losing more than I ever had.

That is it for now diary, Goodnight, and sweet nightmares...

-Sonic the Hedgehog.


Day 24 (Sonic's POV)

Everything was dark and tranquil, I liked it. It felt like I was floating among large and puffy clouds, or almost as if they were carrying me to a place. Well, I hope that place is a better one than the wasteland in which was once our loving and welcoming home.

There was wind, I felt it, it was so warm and soft. Where was it coming from? I couldn't tell if this was real. Was this a vision, or a dream? It could be a nightmare, I've had many of those ever since the downfall of Mobius. Seeing my friends die over and over again in my sleep is really making me insane. I can't stand seeing their lifeless eyes, it was terrifying.

The blood was splattered all over walls and the ground, it looked like someone was paid to use red paint to sabotage a friend for a prank. I remember when my best friend and I drew all over a massive green emerald just to tick off another one of my friends. I really don't want to remember their names, voice, or anything of the sort. It made me depressed, I just know that there always with me, in our hearts. I just need to Open my Heart for them, they wouldn't want me to be depressed about this. They want me to be strong, they want me to be the hero, like I've always been. I don't even know if I was a hero at this point, everyone is dead, I could only save a few of my friends.

My floating came to a stop and I looked around a little puzzled as I landed softly on the contrasted ground. I could make out a figure in the distance, there seemed to be a crease of light behind it, it caused a colossal shadow that covered the light like a cloak. I squinted to make out the figure, from this point it looked like a regular mobian. I took a few steps closer to find the answer to my question.

"Uh, Hello? Where am I?"

My voice seemed to echo throughout the vast shadows of the region that surrounded me. It still stood towards me, still looking into my inanimate soul. I took a few more steps, except much larger this time around. I finally got to the mobian and spoke up as I looked down catching my breath. Why was I so fatigued? I run all the time without feeling that way, maybe I was stressed? No, that doesn't make any sense. I held my stomach still gasping for air "Hey… are… you…"

At this point I looked up to the mobian, but oh chaos… why did I? It's face was wrangled up, it shown it's deranged brain and the eyes were lifeless, just like my friends… I looked down and the abdomen area was punctured with a lance of metal. The maroon blood trickled down the wrangled body and unto the vague ground. I winced and held my head as I tumbled to the lurid floor. I was feeling nauseous and my head was giving me waves of emotion.

And then I heard him.

His laugh, the most atrocious sound you would hear. It was so metallic and heartless, it made me insane. I gathered my strength to get up and look at him in the eye. Surely enough, he was there, but he looked so… different. "Metal Sonic…"

The steel blue automation fiddled with his finger as he stared at me with those emotionless robotic red eyes. He was covered in scarlet liquid from the victims that he had taken the lives from.

"Your time is slipping away from you, Hero."

I winced and jumped on him with rage with the energy I had. "YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE! YOU SICK HEARTLESS BASTARD!" I took my hand and balled it into a fist and swung straight at him. Metal countered and grabbed my arm and swung me into the body. I got covered in the remains of the poor mobian and ran straight at my metal counterpart, still not giving up.

I felt my fury and rage coming to me. I jumped on Metal once again attempting to at least hurt him, but was unfortunately easily pushed away. I roared with anger and held my head, I could feel my anger flowing through my veins. My blood was on fire, I couldn't control my hatred, but I didn't care. I could feel a strong temperate radiance flow around me, I was feeling stronger and I felt my sanity was slipping away. I felt my quills raise, I felt like I was going Super Sonic, but this didn't feel right. I was absorbing negative chaos energy, this wasn't positive, there was only one thing that was happening to me.

I was Dark Sonic.

I got off the ground and slightly smirked at the automation, "Work your way up, or rust your way out, but I'm not going to give someone like you a chance." Metal grimaced and stared at me and crossed his arms. "Do you think that negative energy can hurt me? I can resist any chaos energy, the doctor made me flawless." I slightly stared at him with my clear pale eyes. "You forgot one thing about me, Metal, I never give up."

I sped straight at my metal counterpart and punched straight through his metallic abdomen, I kept going, I didn't want to see any remains of this weeble creation. With each punch was one chance at killing this murderer. I want to fulfill my ideal, I want to save Mobius, I want to avenge every single soul that had died from this pathetic conception.

This is the one chance for hope.

Hope, I didn't believe in such a thing ever since this incident. I wanted him gone, I didn't want to see any trace left of this madness. He ruined my life, now I'll ruin his, if he ever had one.

I grabbed him by the neck and lowered my unoccupied hand. I winced as I started to generate energy at my palm. My gloved hand was starting to surround itself in the nice aura that was a sight to behold. I looked at him in those dead eyes of his, they were nothing, but filled with hatred and death.

I wondered if those were the exact reflection of my eyes, it was the same thing I felt. I had pure hatred for the similar cobalt robot and I wanted him dead. I shut my eyes and gritted my teeth ferociously, at the same time I tightened my grip around his steel neck. "Do you know what you put me through?"

I heard no reply but I didn't hesitate to squeeze harder. "You've killed many innocent people! What did they ever do to you?!" I could feel the radiance of the power surround my palm, it felt so good to be in the state of power.

Metal laid limp in my grip, why was he not fighting back? Tch, pathetic as always, I guess he realizes how strong this hedgehog truly is.

I could feel the fury in my bones, I want to let it out, and I'm going to. Without any haste I clenched my energy stored fist and opened my eyes so sudden. "SEE YOU IN HELL! HAHA!"

Within milliseconds my fist met with his face and caused an chaos energy overload. The only thing I heard was the sound of high pitched screaming, it reminded me so much of the screams of mobians. Everything surrounding me was nothing but negative chaos energy. I could barely see, did it make a difference anyways? I couldn't see before.

But, no.

Metal was nowhere to be seen, Did I do it? Is he gone?

There was nothing, I couldn't see or hear. I felt all the negative energy dying down in my veins. After that I felt my quills fall back down. I didn't feel powerful at all, I guess my anger had settled down. I could feel myself very fatigued at the moment, it took a lot of energy to pull a stunt off like that.

It was too quiet for my taste, I didn't like it, I guess it's my hedgehog instincts. I was starting to breathe quite heavily, I was on the edge of hyperventilating. I turned around and met face with an unpleasant figure.

It was the carnage from before, but how was it here? Did the blast tumble the body and send it flying? Wait, how was it standing up?

I slightly tilted my head, but the second I did, I was shoved into the ground. "GRAGH!" There was a cold sheet of metal that felt like it covered me. I opened my eyes to see the problem and I wished I didn't.

Metal was on top of me, and oh chaos, he looked terrible. Half of his face was melted away, showing the exoskeleton and the body shared the same fate. Metal pinned my arms to the ground harshly, making me growl. "You shouldn't have pulled off a move like that, It only puts me to higher usage."

I kept trying to fight the restrain he put on me. "L-Let me go!" Metal tilted his head upwards and his maroon pupils looked down on me. He stared at me for a long period of time. While he was occupied with what he was doing, I took the time to release my arm. With no thought whatsoever, I swung my fist at him but he countered by grabbing ahold. I muttered and glared at him, I could see some of his face reforming.

"Wh-what the hell?" I looked down and saw that his body was regenerating its structure. Metal gave me another one of his dread laughs. "Can't you see? I am immortal. You can't get rid of me, so I'll just have to get rid of you."

Metal's hand went inside of his arm and out came a sharp saw blade that was stained and rusted with blood. "This has your name written on it." I gasped and tried to fight the restraining that made me helpless and vulnerable.

I never knew it would all come down to this, there is no hope, there is only nothing. My death bed lies in front of me. But I didn't give up, I squirmed and and tried to bite his arm, anything that could work. "H-HELP! ANYONE! PLEASE!"

Metal acted as if I hadn't said anything or even did anything to him. "I'm going to make sure that this is painful and real slow." He brought the moving blade closer and closer to my face. I closed my eyes and winced, it was going to happen. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek, death was ahead.

As soon as I could feel the tear dissipate, the cold sharp metal entered my abdomen very slowly. I whimpered in pain, it was living hell. I felt the metal leave, causing my blood to leak and enter somewhere down my leg.

This time Metal didn't hesitate and he sawed off my leg. I screamed with all my might, I opened my right eye to see my left leg upon the floor dispatched from my body. It was total bloodshed, it hurt like hell.

My blood gushed across the cold ground. "Y-YOU BASTARD!" The one thing I used to get away was nothing to me now. I'm stuck, immobile, I can't escape this nightmare. "Shhhh…"

Metal drew the blade up to my neck. "You really were a nuisance, finally something the doctor was right about." I looked at him and then down at the sliced carnage that was once my movable flesh. "You're my toy to play with now" I shut my eyes, I was losing blood, I'm sure Metal would saw my head off.

"Can't you see yourself? You're nothing but a failure, you've failed everyone on Mobius, even your friends."

I felt myself going limp. I gathered my courage to give one last remark. "I didn't fail them all… I still have hope within, we all do." Metal shook his head "Well you've lost yours."

Without any second wasted, Metal took the buzzsaw and very slowly started slitting at my neck. I couldn't scream, the pain would be unbearable. I could feel my whole head tearing off, I couldn't think. He took the saw out and my eyes slowly raised up to him.

"There can only be one Sonic."

My vision was going black, I couldn't see or feel at that matter. The last thing I felt was the painful and sharp snap of my neck before I felt my head fall back.


Day 24 (Silver's POV)

Wow, this place is a wasteland. I knew the future would hold bad luck. There is nothing upon us, we are the only ones left.

I'm usually the one to get up earlier than everyone in the group. I don't need much sleep, neither does Shadow, in fact Shadow doesn't even sleep at all. He's usually gathering materials for us, he was scientifically engineered.

We didn't live anywhere in particular, we were always on the move. We try to find any signs of life, but we haven't found any… yet, to say the least.

We spent the night in an old shack in what was once a meadow. I could only see within my mind how it used to look, a nice green open area that a family could go for a picnic. It's origin, everything had it. Like how a chicken came from an egg. But an origin will come to an end, will it? I'm not sure.

I got up early to see what would be ahead of us. It seemed like a nice day, the clouds were a dark orange, the sun barely shown. Yep, this is by far, one of the best days so far!

I would say that I'm the most naive and curious of the group, I shared a little of my traits with Cream's chao. Cream didn't deserve to suffer, neither did her mother have to. They were too good hearted.

I shook the thought off and walked inside. The wood looked as if it was oak scrambled with acacia. It was a weird color, mostly brown though. But the wood was starting to rot, it smelled terrible, there was too much sap for my liking too.

I saw some dust bunnies on the floor. So I decided to use my telekinesis to levitate the worn out broom towards me. Hey, someone has to keep things clean around here.

My sweeping was a little too rushed, because the next second I heard foot steps. I whipped my head around to see Blaze rubbing her eye slightly. "What are you doing up so early?" Blaze yawned drowsily, I guess she was still exhausted, all we ever do is travel. "Oh you know, cleaning…"

Blaze deadpanned "Silver, we don't live here, why don't you do something that really helps? You're so naive…" Blaze walked up the steps, I'm guessing she was going to wake everyone up. "Alright… Good morning…" Blaze was normal as always, she was so calm and a little serious. She was the female Shadow, except she was a feline, not a hedgehog. I went back to sweeping, I really was a clean freak, what can I say?

It took no time at all for everyone to walk down the rugged and dusty steps. The pace sounded like a silent marching band, and the creak sounded like the trumpets in a way. I have a weird mind, but I am the most intelligent.

I looked up to see Blaze hiking down the steps with a pink hedgehog, white bat, and a little chao. I smiled gently at everyone "Good morning guys, did you sleep well?" Amy looked at me as if I was crazy but she gave me a friendly smile. "Well, it was the first night in a long time since I got a good sleep." Amy walked into the kitchen, she was probably getting materials for breakfast, if Shadow had brought them.

Rouge flew to my side and patted my back "Good morning Lil' White." I shook my head in annoyance, she always called everyone names. Big Blue would be Sonic and she would call me Lil' White. Pretty much the only ones she called by their real name would be Blaze, Amy, and of course Shadow. I think Rouge didn't want to tease Cheese either, he had been through a lot, but so have we!

Speaking of Cheese, the little guy flew up to me and hugged me. I chuckled lightly and pat his head smoothly, causing him to purr mildly. Cheese flew into the kitchen with Amy, he liked being around everyone, but mostly Blaze and Amy. Blaze was Cream and Cheeses' best friend, so I'm guessing that's the reason. But Amy was practically a sister to them, I feel really bad, I didn't want the future to become this. It was much like the future I was in, the whole city was on fire.

The only ones left in the doorway were Blaze and I, curiosity got to me. "Where's Sonic? Didn't you wake everyone up?" Blaze crossed her arms and walked into the room where Rouge was settled, while she was walking she stopped midway and looked back at me. "Just give him some time, he needs his rest." The purple pyrokinetic cat jaunted into the living area, leaving me behind. "Oh... ok…"


Day 24 (Shadow's POV)

I was only a few minutes away from our little hideout. Tch, who calls a rugged shack a hideout? I'm so glad I have smart acquaintances. Sometimes I wonder if they even have brains, they're lucky they even have me on their side. They would be rotting corpses if it wasn't for me, I was the one who scavenged for supplies.

I don't even need them, I could ditch them for all I wanted. But I'm not like that, even though I would love to see the looks on their faces. I'm guessing… they helped me through the dark times, so I guess I could do the same for them. I'm not the mushy type though, I hope that they realize that I'm just here to help them.

While I was gone I collected a few herbs along with some mushrooms, I'm sure we could make something out of that. On the other hand I also collected a few jars of water, I know it's embarrassing, but I had to bring a backpack. How else could I carry these damn materials? I think Silver should aid me on this quest, he does have telekinesis after all.

The radiation this wasteland gives off for some reason makes me feel fatigued. My light speed skates often do power down, leaving me to walk all the way back. I'm just lucky the skates are holding on to power and not dropping in energy. I was only a minute away, if they were to backfire on me, it would become a ten minute walk from here to there. It doesn't seem bad, but it does get annoying at times.

The sun seemed to show today, it doesn't seem bad at all. It was quite cold for some reason, it was usually mild humidity. The ground was all dirt, mud, and rocks, not one single plant in sight. I know it's my personality speaking, but I quite like this atmosphere, it did bring back memories on the Space Colony Ark for reasons I didn't know.

I saw glimpse of a small shack in the distance, I was almost there, lucky me. The house was like a monument upon its pillar, each second I drew closer, making it expand in my eye sight. After a few seconds I approached the door and opened it. I winced at the cheers I was about to get, it was cringy to me, I wasn't a big fan of company,

I walked in expeditiously and went towards the kitchen, as soon as I entered I was glomped by a small blue figure. "What the hell?" I grabbed him by his stomach and looked at him in the eye "Cheese! Don't touch me again!" I put him down gently and Cheese moped. I sighed and looked down at him, I maybe felt a little glum for yelling at him.

The little chao has been through alot lately, but haven't we all? I gently stroked his head "Hey bud, cheer up…" Cheese looked at me and nodded as he smiled friendly, he was such an innocent creature, it hurt to see him suffer.

I turned my head and saw Amy cooking with the materials I scavenged, totally ignoring my presence. "What? No hug, Rose?" Amy scoffed and didn't even take a glimpse of me. Her quills had grown longer and her dress was getting torn up. "Wow, you've changed. Is this another plan to get Faker to love you?" Amy shook her head as she added herbs to the stew "We've all changed Shadow, and his name is not faker, it's Sonic."

She had tone in her voice, honestly I was speechless. It sure as hell sounded like she was tempting me. I crossed my arms and scoffed "Well I can see that you need some time alone." I walked out of the room and heard an mmhmm from Amy.

I met up with Silver, Rouge, and Blaze in the living area. They didn't seem surprised to see me, they just gave a few hey's or hi's. "What's up with you people? You act just like Rose." Rouge looked at me with a wide smirk. "C'mon Shadow, some people change. Why do you care so much? Hmmm?"

I put my hand to my face, almost like a facepalm. "In secret Rouge, you're hurting, we all are." Rouge's smirk turned into and immediate frown and she looked away, that's not typical of her, I think I proved my point.

It was quite quiet after my statement, in that time I noticed someone missing. "Where's Faker?" Silver and Blaze spoke in unison as they were looking downwards. "Resting, why do you care?" I growled and gritted my teeth, "Were not supposed to be resting! We are here to survive!" I scoffed and leaned against the wall with my eyes shut.

I heard Silver give me a nasty remark "Well look who's resting now…" I winced and opened my eyes, glaring at Silver "You're going to get it now!" I charged a chaos spear attack and jumped at Silver but a pink feminine figure jumped in front of me and blocked the attack with a hammer. "Enough! Both of you!"

I clenched my fist and turned away from everyone, I honestly don't care about any of them. I couldn't tell if I was still angry or I really meant that. I think I actually needed to relax, I think my tension is getting to me. "I'm going to rest, don't disturb me." I walked up the rugged steps and leaned against the hallway wall. What were they thinking of me? Pfft, I don't care.
