The Path to Redemption

by Nexus subject 154

A betrayal causes Sonic to leave and assume a new identity. Now as the silent Selkadoom, he tries to forget his past. But what will happen when his past comes to him. New enemies rise and if he is to have any hope of defeating them, he has to unlock the powers of his bloodline and its secrets as well as forgive those who betrayed him. My first fic so be patient.

2. Newcomers

Chapter 2 up!

I own only the story and Devastation Sonic.

After a bath, Selkadoom went to his wardrobe to change into his armor, an obsidian black one. The only variation in colour was the cyan wrist-mounted laser arrow launchers which doubled as deadly energy blades when switched to the secondary function. The launchers were powered by chaos energy and as such had no need to reload. They could fire anything from signal flares to powerful Chaos Spears.
Then, picking up the mask on his table, he put it on. The mask was black like his armor with the exception of a silver stripe in the middle. The mask was made of a rare metal infused with Chaos energy, able to take a direct hit from a tank shell without a scratch, yet was soft enough to be crafted into shape.

The years of experimenting with the power of the Chaos Emeralds as well as the power he used to destroy Eggman's base, which he called Devastation mode (triggered through extreme rage), turned his quills into the same colour scheme as Shadow's if it wasn't for the fact that it was blue with black streaks.

Ten minutes later

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the RAZE institute. I am Doctor Nero. I know it may be a shock to you on how you were abducted last night. I assure you that your questions will be answered once you had a tour of our facility." An orange fox addressed the crowd assembled in the hangar bay.

Among the crowd was a familiar group of people consisting of two hedgehogs, one echidna, a bat and a two-tailed fox. One hedgehog was black with red stripes on his quills while the other was cherry pink. The echidna was ruby red, the bat was pure white and the fox was yellow. It was of course our favourite heroes, Team Sonic. Or, to be accurate, most of them.

"Hey Tails, where the hell are we? And don't give me an answer like in a crater. I mean continent, country and all that." That was Knuckles.

"I don't know. Something seems to be jamming my GPS." Tails replied.

"Well then ladies and gentlemen, it is time for your tour. After that you will be escorted to the training room for an introduction of our squads. Please enjoy yourselves but be warned. Any attempt to escape and tell the world what you have seen will be dealt with severely."

While moving out of the hangar, Tails felt something watching him. A quick sweep around the area showed a black figure which moved so fast, Tails couldn't register the movement. "Huh, must be a trick of my mind. I could have sworn I saw a guy in black run past." However, Tails failed to notice the dark figure above him.

Selkadoom's POV

Typical. People always look everywhere but up. Damn, that was a close one. Tails almost saw me. I must admit that I am surprised to see them here. I have to be careful. I can't afford them to know who I am.

Hey everybody. How do you like the new chapter? While I do appreciate the fact that people actually read this, I really want some more reviews. Also I don't mind people correcting my spelling. FYI there will be a gorilla and a bear appearing later as tankers. Anyway, the next chapter will be up by next week. Till then, this is NexSub154 signing off.
