Chapter 2: Entering Moebius

On a planet called Moebius, Scourge the Hedgehog, the dethroned king, was in a forest. He was pacing back and forth, thinking about what had just recently happened to him.

"Curse you Miles, turning my Suppression Squad against me. I'll show you, I'll show them all," he said to himself. "Soon you will learn why I was king. I already have two Anarchy Beryls; five more and I'll have my revenge."

Just then, a flash of light appeared in front of Scourge, and five foot muscular Werehog appeared in front of him.

"Blue, is that you?" Scourge asked.

So it was Scourge's universe my master sensed, Darkspine Werehog Sonic thought, and nodded. "My master Sonic has come to take over your universe, Scourge. I take it you have heard of what he has done recently?"

Scourge shook his head, and Darkspine Werehog Sonic sighed. "He has taken over his own universe and created his other forms as separate entities such as his Fleetway, dragon, snake and shark forms. I am one of them. Though technically, we are the same person," he stated, giving off a dark aura to intimidate Scourge. "Currently, Sonic has transformed himself into a phoenix...permanently."

"So, he wants to control this universe and others? I like the way you think; count me in," Scourge stated. "What's your plan?"

"We need the seven Anarchy Beryls so that I can have enough Chaos Energy to bring Sonic into this universe," Darkspine Werehog told Scourge. "After we control this universe, we shall move on to the next one."

"I see, well I have two of them already, and I can feel the third one close by."

"Excellent," Werehog Sonic said. "Show me where the other emeralds are."

Scourge nodded, and started leading Sonic's Darkspine Werehog form to wear he sensed the third emerald.


On the other side of Moebius, a fifty foot Werehog suddenly appeared outside a city. Shadow looked down at the pathetic mortals, unworthy of being in his Masters' presence. He then proceeded to walk into the city; each step he took was shaking the ground. Once he was inside he continued to walk but with every person he passed, a blue light came out of their body and entered Shadow's as the person died. Shadow's mere presence was absorbing everyone's life energy. He smirked as more energy entered him, making him stronger. People began to run away, but it seemed useless as their life force was getting drained as well. Shadow smirked, feeling all the brand new power enter him.

Meanwhile inside Shadow's mindscape, a small part of Black Doom's consciousness still existed but it was trapped in black vortex.

What's going on, where am I? He asked.

You're inside MY mind, you pesky insect, said a voice. Just then, a gigantic werehog looking like Shadow appeared.

Who are you? The consciousness of Black Doom asked.

"I am Shadow the Werehog, servant of Sonic and his second in command. My only purpose is to make Sonic stronger," The Werehog roared. "It seems when Sonic did that mental change to transform you into me completely, he only sealed away your consciousness. Now, I will wipe you from my mind forever."

NO! Black Doom shouted. This is my body, and Sonic is my enemy!

"He is my master!" Shadow exclaimed. "Sonic has supplied me with more power than anyone! I will do anything he commands me to do, and I won't let an insect like you stop him."

Just then, Black Doom's purple vortex began to rise to the gigantic Werehog and entered his chest. Black Doom tried to escape but he was trapped, and quickly became consumed by the massive monster. Black Doom was no more; Shadow the Werehog was in complete control. The Werehog roared with pride, and a third eye appeared on his forehead as his body began to fill up the void inside his mind. Outside, Shadow had consumed the entire city's life energy, and had grown much bigger. He was now seventy-five feet tall, and had a third eye on his forehead. He then held out a finger, and a blue glow appeared at the end of his claw. The glass window to a jewelry store shattered, and an Anarchy Beryl flew into Shadow's hand.

One down, three to go, he thought, as Sonic's Werehog form has informed him, telepathically, that Scourge had already gathered two before they came to Moebius, and was on his way to the third.
