Omega Corps Training Facilities
"That was all too easy." Twilight thought to himself as he launched a Chaos Spear into the last training robot left standing. He smiled slightly as the spear punched a hole through the machine. He shot a glance up to the reinforced glass that protected the scientists and observers from any flying debris created by the destroyed robots.
A scientist hits a button on the control panel, "Good job Twilight, are you ready to commence the next phase of today's training?"
Twilight shrugged, "As long as I'm not going to have to get another biopsy done, I'm tired of needles being stuck inside me."
"So you have a fear of needles?"
"I didn't say that, I said I'm tired of having pieces taken out of me on a regular basis."
The scientist chuckled, "I get it; no this isn't a medical test. We want to continue your strategic training."
Twilight nodded, "In that case, let's go get started" He turned around and walked out of the room and toward the next area.
The scientist turned around and looked at the wall next to the door, "You can reveal yourself Tyber; I knew you were there from the beginning."
Tyber walked out of the shadows, "How's he doing?"
"Doing far better than we had previously had hoped he's either meeting or surpassing all expectations."
Tyber nodded, "Any problems so far?"
The scientist shook his head, "Not really, he's far more aggressive than you, but he's calm for the most part. He also seems to be incredibly shy when it comes to people or beings he hasn't met before."
"Good to know, thanks." Tyber said as he turned to leave.
"All of that was in the report, why did you come down here; it certainly wasn't to ask me about Twilight?"
Tyber chuckled lightly, "I wanted to see what he can do firsthand." With that he left the room.
Omega Corps Admin building: Roberts's office
Robert was doing paperwork until he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. He chuckled softly, "Only two people open that door without announcing themselves. And only one has a Psionic energy signature." He looked up and smiled, "Tyber, what's going on?"
Tyber sighed, "It's Twilight he's growing stronger, and the reports say he's becoming more aggressive."
Robert inclined his head, "In other words, he's becoming more like you."
Tyber nodded, "Yeah."
Robert walked over to the window that looked over the base, "He's not a complete clone, and you know that right?" He glanced back to see a shocked Tyber.
(Me: Ok, most of Omega Corps is underground, but his office is not.)
Tyber was nearly speechless, "Just how, incomplete is he?"
Robert sighed, "You have fifty percent of my DNA, and fifty Percent of your mother's DNA."
Tyber shook his head, "I learned about nearly five years ago, what is it that you are getting at is?"
"He has the other fifty percent of our DNA. Genetically, he's your brother."
Tyber blinked a few times, "So he's not a clone?"
Robert bit his lip, "He is, he's what you'd be if you had the other side of your mother's and my DNA."
Tyber chuckled so lightly it sounded like it was him taking shallow breaths, "So he's my clone, and brother?"
Robert simply nodded.
Tyber scoffed and walked to the door, "You could have told me that from the beginning, and saved me time on being scarred for life." With that he walked out of the room.
Robert sighed looked back out the window, "Did I do the right thing, ordering Twilight's creation?"
"I don't know, but you did, and now we have to deal with it."
Robert shook his head, after the events of Mary being altered, he formed a low level Psionic bond with her, not enough that she can use Psionics, but enough that they can communicate, "Any ideas?"
"Give him some time," Mary responded, "he'll warm up to the idea eventually."
Robert nodded, "I sure hope so, because if he doesn't I don't know who'd win in a fight."
"You're actually debating it?"
Robert laughed, "True enough, we could break up any fight that started between those two."
Omega Corps Research wing Twilight's quarters: evening
"For a genetic experiment, this is a pretty good place to stay." Twilight thought to himself as he lay down on the bed. The room was metallic, like the rest of the base. It had an HD TV, stereo system and all three current major game consoles and nearly three dozen games for each and a high end PC. Twilight smirked, 'So, I wonder what's going on tomorrow?'
"You're breaking out of here."
Twilight jumped to his feet and got into a combat stance, "Who's there, show yourself!"
"Calm down Twilight, I'm not going to hurt you. Much."
Twilight slowly turned around, looking for the voice's origin, "Who are you?"
The voice chuckled, "I'm you."
Twilight chuckled angrily, "Yeah sure, and I'm Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Don't believe me?"
Twilight shook his head.
"Then let me demonstrate just who, or rather what, I am."
Everything went black…
When Twilight woke up he was standing in a destroyed city, facing a black hedgehog with green eyes.
Twilight started panting, "Who are you?"
The other hedgehog chuckled, "Are we really going to go through this again?"
Twilight was almost gasping for air now, "Wh-what are you doing to me?"
Dark Twilight smiled and walked closer, "I'm drawing you into your mind and replacing your consciousness with my own."
Twilight was starting to feel pain at this point, "Why?"
Dark Twilight leaned over Twilight and smiled, "Because I can."
Everything went black again…
Omega Corps Research wing Twilight's quarters: morning
Twilight jumped out bed and got into the same combat stance he assumed last night, but this time there was no voice, "Ok Twilight, it was just a dream." He sighed and shook his head, "No more triple chocolate ice cream before going to bed."
Twilight got dressed into his uniform and went to the first thing the scientists told him to him to do every day, go see one of them.
Omega Corps Research wing: Genetic research division
Twilight walked in the door and was greeted by one of the many doctors he knew, Dr. James, "So Twilight, anything going on?"
Twilight shook his head, "Not really, just the usual routine."
James smiled, "Good to hear it." He took out a biopsy probe, "Sorry Twilight, it's not me who orders these tests, but I seem to be stuck carrying it out."
"That's alright Dr, I'm used to… ah!" Twilight said as he clenched his head and doubled over.
James rushed over and was caught off guard by Twilight hand grabbing him by the throat. "Twilight what are you- gack!"
Twilight smiled as he broke the doctors neck, "Sorry doctor, but that is the last time you'll perform any type of test on me."
Tyber walked inside, "Hey doc what's going- Twilight what did you do!"
Twilight chuckled, "Hello Tyber, I think it's about time I showed you my true form."
Tyber shook his head, "What are you talking about?"
Twilight growled, "Don't underestimate me!" As he said this, a black field engulfed him, when it cleared Twilight had turned jet black with the same red colors, but now his eyes had turned green. He smiled, "Tyber, you have under estimated me for the last time!"
Tyber got into a combat stance and thought to himself, 'This is so not good.'
