Jasmine said, "I came out here to find out why YOU'RE here. I want to know why you left."
Gamer replied,"Trust me, Jasmine. It would be best for both of us if you didn't stick around to find out. I'm sorry, but that's all I can say."
His girlfriend looked at him sternly and said, "No. I'm staying right here until you tell me why you're out here."
Gamer looked at his watch and grew nervous when he saw the time say 7:56. He turned back to Jasmine and responded desperately, "Jasmine, listen to me. You don't want to find out."
She just shook her head and replied, "If you're that intent on getting me to leave, then it must be something that I need to know. Again, I'm staying."
Gamer again looked at his watch and sweated a little when he saw that it was 7:58. He had to get Jasmine to leave. He made his cute puppy face and pleaded desperately, "You need to get out of here. If you stick around much longer, you won't like what you see."
She just glared at him again and replied sternly, "You can make the puppy face at me all you want, but it's not going to work this time. Nothing you can say or do will get me to leave until I find out what it is that's got you so worked up."
Gamer groaned in defeat when he saw that he had 30 seconds left before the transformation. He sighed, "If you really want to know, then just wait a few seconds. But again, you won't like what you see." 10 seconds later, when the time it 8:00, the transformation hit. He quickly used his telekinesis to push Jasmine a few feet away to keep her safe.
She gasped when she saw him get surrounded in a sphere of black light. She took a step forward as she shouted in concern, "GAMER!"
From within the sphere she heard him shout, "No, Jasmine. Stay back!"
When the transformation was done and the light dissipated, she gasped again when she saw a male hedgehog standing there without any clothes on. Instead he had black skin, black shoes, dark blue gloves, dark blue fur, black outlines on the outside of his quills, dark blue pupils, black irises, claws extending from the fingers and wrists of his gloves, spikes coming from the front and back of his shoes, and was surrounded by a black aura. She asked worriedly, "Gamer? Is that you?"
Dark Gamer said sadly, "Yes Jasmine. It's me." Jasmine noticed that his voice was noticeably deeper than normal.
She replied, "How long have you been like this?"
Dark Gamer answered, "It's not a happy story." He told her of that horrible day, 4 years ago.
(Memory Flashback)
12-year old Gamer was running along using his super-speed, as he always did. He loved the feeling of the wind rushing through his quills and fur. Plus, it helped him deal with the loneliness he had felt ever since he had been separated from his sister when their parents died in that fire. Most days, he was able to run to wherever he wanted to go, and get back to his house without incident. Unfortunately, today was not one of those days. As he was running through the park, something hit him in the back of the head. He fell to the ground, unconcious.
When he came to, he was chained to a table. He struggled to get free, but it was useless. He tried his telekinesis, but the chains were to strong. Suddenly, he heard someone laugh evilly. He turned his head and gasped when he saw who it was. It was Leroy, the brown and green striped hedgehog, and he was holding a syringe filled with a black liquid. Leroy was an even worse bully to Gamer than Gregory was. The reason: Until the end of middle school, Gamer just had to deal with Gregory during school hours. But Leroy, he had to deal with the moment school ended.
Gamer asked him, "Why am I chained up? This isn't usually your thing. Usually, you're just content to make fun of me and hurt me."
Leroy smirked evilly,"I decided that the best way to hurt you was to force you to hurt innocent people. And this experiment will help me make you do just that."
Gamer sneered, "I'll never help YOU!"
Leroy just chuckled, "You have no choice. Once I inject this drug into your body, you'll turn into a force for destruction that I can use for my own purposes." He walked towards the helpless Gamer and stuck the syringe right into his neck.
Gamer winced as much as he could until the syringe was removed from his body. After a few seconds, he started screaming in pain again as the drug took effect.
Leroy shouted evilly,"Yes! Yes! YES! It's working."
When the pain wore off, Dark Gamer broke free of the straps.
Leroy chuckled evilly, "Good. Now I can use you to hurt innocent victims."
But Dark Gamer had other plans. He used his rage to destroy Leroy's house.
He then grabbed Leroy and hissed angrily in a deep voice, "You shouldn't have done that. I guess I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to hurt you. But I'm not going to kill you, as much as I want to. I'll settle for beating you to a pulp. But not here." He teleported to the desert, still holding Leroy. While they were in the desert, Dark Gamer used his amplified powers to bloody and bruise Leroy until he had released all his rage and he turned back to normal. He collapsed to the ground crying, for he was ashamed at the beating he had given and exhausted because of his rage. Leroy had just enough strength to run to the nearest hospital.
2 days later, Gamer was running through Mystic Ruins. But at 8:00, the transformation hit. He then started destroying everything in sight. At midnight, when he was back to normal, he looked around him and cried when he realized what he did. He tried to find a cure so he wouldn't do this ever again, but he couldn't.
(End Flashback)
Dark Gamer finished with, "And so, ever since that day, every other day at exactly 8 pm, I turn into the monster you see before you and I stay that way until midnight. It's taking every ounce of my willpower just to avoid hurting you."
