Disclaimer: I own Scarlett the Chameleon and Wraith the Hedgehog, but no one else. Let's get adventurous
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group of villains started to come to. The black hedgehog quickly forced Iblis and the Biolizard into a holding cell. Then, he quickly implanted a dark spore, which was a purple, spiny seed, into Chaos. Afterwards, he forced Chaos into a holding cell next to Iblis. Then, he turned to his recruits.
"What the hell happened? I thought I was in oblivion," said Mephiles. He was back in the form of Shadow the Hedgehog,
"You were. All of you were except Metal Sonic and the good doctor, but I brought you back using the power of a chaos emerald," said the black hedgehog.
Chaos, the Biolizard, and Iblis were banging on their cells trying to get out, but their cells were made of dark matter and it was impossible for them to escape.
"Ignore them. It's impossible for them to escape."
"Who are you?" asked Black Doom.
"My name is Wraith the Hedgehog. I was formed out of the dark matter of everyone that has used the chaos emeralds to become super beings. That means I was created from Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Knuckles. In order to remain in super-form, their bodies must be completely rid of evil. So, the chaos emeralds strip them of their evil matter so that they can remain in super-form. However, when a being is returned back to their original form, they get their dark matter back except for a small percentage of it. Repeated use of the chaos emeralds has caused more and more dark matter to be encased within the emeralds. After their last battle with Solaris, there was enough dark matter within the emeralds for me to be born. Two months after the defeat of Solaris, I escaped the imprisonment of the chaos emeralds and became Wraith the Hedgehog," explained Wraith.
"What does that have to do with me?" asked Dr. Eggman.
"I have selected you all to join with me and form an ultimate alliance of villains so that together, we may conquer this planet," said Wraith.
"We need no help conquering this planet. If you do, then you are weak," boasted Dark Oak.
"Earth is no ordinary planet," said Wraith. "For it was inhabitants of Earth that defeated you and your army."
"Yes! I remember it clearly. We were defeated by that meddlesome White Seed and her compatriots," said Red Pine.
"My friends, together we can conquer this planet with ease. Once we're rid of Sonic and his allies, the galaxy is ours for the taking."
"This all sounds very intriguing. I'm in," said the Babylon Guardian.
"Wait just a minute. I appreciate you bringing me back from the dead and all, but I'm not joining some alliance. I'm going to go at this my own way," said Eggman.
"Eggman, you've failed on numerous occasions to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, but together, you're sure of victory," said Wraith.
"You bring up an interesting argument, Wraith. Very well, if you can guarantee me world domination, I'll gladly join you."
"I, too, accept your leadership," said Metal Sonic.
"Hold up, hold up. Who said he was going to be leading us? I should be leader," implied Mephiles.
"You don't qualify," said Wraith.
"Oh, yeah?"
Mephiles conjured up his dark copies. Then, he sent them all at once to attack Wraith. It caused a big explosion.
Mephiles laughed maniacally. "Huh?"
The smoke was clearing to show Wraith standing there completely unharmed. The others could not believe what they were witnessing.
"My turn."
Wraith snapped his fingers. Dark matter rose from the ground. It quickly surrounded Mephiles.
"What are you doing? No! Stop! Aahhhhhh!"
Wraith snapped his fingers again. The dark matter suddenly vanished. Mephiles was lying there, shriveled up like a little child.
"The dark matter eats away at your core until you're completely destroyed," said Wraith. "Don't worry about him. He'll be okay in a little while."
He turned to Mephiles.
"Mephiles, did you say you opposed my leadership?" asked Wraith.
Mephiles did not, could not say a word.
"I thought not."
He turned to everyone else.
"Does anyone else disapprove of my leadership?" he asked
Nobody said a word. Even Iblis, Chaos, and the Biolizard remained silent.
"Good! Gentlemen, this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship."
He walked over to the holding cells.
"Before we get started…."
He opened the Biolizard's cell. The Biolizard now feared Wraith. It steadily eased back until it stood at the back wall of the holding cell.
"Easy, boy. I won't hurt you."
Wraith walked up to the shivering prototype and placed his hand on it. It soon transformed. It started to take shape. It got smaller and smaller until it was only slightly larger than Storm the Albatross. However, it had taken an anthromorphic form. Now, it stood on two legs. The red life support system was gone, but he still had the pipe coming from his mouth as well as the chrome on his back.
"How do you feel?" asked Wraith.
"Vengeful," replied the Biolizard.
"Excellent. Professor Gerald's dream will come to past if you side with me," said Wraith.
"I humbly accept your leadership and will perform whatever task you need me to accomplish without fail," said the Biolizard.
Wraith turned to the rest of them.
"Our first priority is to establish our main base of control. I have chosen……… Space Colony ARK as the location. Black Doom, transport us there."
"As you wish," replied Black Doom. "CHAOS CONTROL"
Everyone disappeared in a barrage of green light.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Space Colony ARK…
Everyone arrived on the abandoned space colony.
"Why have you brought us here?" asked Pale Bay Leaf.
"Up here, we will receive no trouble from anyone. This is the perfect base of operations," said Wraith. He started to walk off. "Follow me."
They went down the corridors. As they looked on, they could see Iblis being held in the lava pit in Meteor Herd. There was still no sign of Chaos, but they were sure he was unharmed. They followed him into an abandoned laboratory.
"This is where you Metarex will construct your new army. There is an unlimited amount of resources here," said Wraith. "Get to work."
The Metarex did as they were told and started turning the laboratories into Metarex production sites.
Wraith left the Metarex to their work.
"Why are we going along with this?" Yellow Zelkova asked Dark Oak.
"He's too powerful an ally for us to betray. He was able to rescue us from oblivion; so we ought to give him a chance to prove himself. He said that we would soon conquer the galaxy, and we're going to find out. Now shut up and start making Metarex warriors," commanded Dark Oak.
"Yes sir," saluted Yellow Zelkova.
The Metarex started their production of their army.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wraith led Black Doom, the Babylon Guardian, and the Biolizard into the Eclipse Cannon's core. The Biolizard had grime memories about this place. This is where he was first defeated by Shadow the Hedgehog.
"Black Doom, I realize that the Black Comet was destroyed, but perhaps with a little Chaos Reincarnation, I can get you your Black Arms back.
Wraith pulled out his Chaos Emerald. "CHAOS REINCARNATION"
Everything around them suddenly started changing. The ground and walls around them became igneous rocks, the golden water turned purple, and the shrine turned into a citadel. The Eclipse Cannon power cells remained intact.
"I trust everything is to your liking," said Wraith.
"Indeed it is," said Black Doom.
"Then we will leave you," said Wraith as he left out of the Cannon's Core.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Babylon Guardian, allow me to free you of the lamp so that you may unleash your full power upon this world," said Wraith.
Wraith picked up the lamp he was in and rubbed it. "I hereby free you of this lamp. Let the world taste your true fury. As long as the lamp is not destroyed, you cannot be destroyed."
The Babylon Guardian now stood on two feet in his Arabian clothing.
"Go wait in the observation room. I'll be there shortly," instructed Wraith.
The Babylon Guardian did as he was told and went to find the observation deck. After he left, the Biolizard and Wraith only remained. Wraith started to move again. The Biolizard followed him. They kept going until they came upon Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic.
"Dr. Eggman, I will be returning you and Metal Sonic to Earth, where I want you to construct new E-Series robots for battle," said Wraith.
"Very well, very well. I hope you know what you're doing, Wraith," said Eggman.
"Don't worry. I do. This world and all its inhabitants will suffer," said Wraith with a clenched fist.
Eggman smiled a wicked smile. Then, he was led over to the transport device and transported to his island base.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present Day…
Wraith stood in the main observatory alone. He was looking down at the Earth. Those red, paralyzing eyes were filled with disgust.
Suddenly, Mephiles and the Biolizard appeared in the observatory.
"Everyone's ready to move out, Wraith," said the Biolizard.
Wraith cackled.
"All the pieces are now in place. Time for the humans to feel my wrath and may their painful howls keep them warm in the days to come."
