"Here we are, home sweet home!" declared Eclipse. He and Shadow had arrived in the cave he and Mephiles were hiding out in. Shadow was unsurprised to discover their hiding place was a cave, but his anger that Mephiles had returned most likely to taunt him was beginning to consume him.

"Where is Mephiles?" growled the ticked off hedgehog at a smirking Eclipse.

"Here I am." Shadow spun round to see none other than Mephiles himself standing close by, both of his arms behind his back, clearly cooking up a notorious scheme in his twisted mind.

"Mephiles."

"Shadow, what a pleasure it is to be seeing you again."

"What is it that you want now?"

"It's wonderful to see you too. Trust me, I'm not here to cause chaos in this…splendiferous city, as tempting as that is. No, I intend to do something far more enjoyable for both me and my new accomplice."

"Kill me? Try it, but I'm warning you, I've improved an awful lot since our last encounter."

"Oh no, we're not going to kill you…not yet we're not."

Upon hearing this, Eclipse shot Mephiles a puzzled glance. "We're not?"

Perplexed himself, Shadow watched Mephiles walk over to Eclipse and whisper something in the conniving alien's ear, to which he grinned cruelly at.

"That is sickening…but I believe it will be enough to shatter his confidence and tear him apart."

Starting to feel anxious about what they had planned, Shadow questioned, "What are you gonna do to me?"

Smiling maliciously, Eclipse slowly made his way behind the unnerved hedgehog whilst Mephiles started to step towards him.

"Tell me, Shadow…how would you feel if a demon and an alien attempt to make love to you?"

Horrified at the realisation that their plan was to sexually assault him, Shadow stumbled backwards, unable to stop himself from trembling. "Y-You wouldn't do such a repulsive thing. I'd rather you kill me!"

"Constantly attacking you and trying to kill you gets quite boring after a while. I'm more fond of the idea of causing you so much pain and traumatising you, it completely ruins you. I want to watch you suffer, hear your cries of agony and screams for help…except here, you can't get any. Here, no one can hear you and Eclipse and I can whatever we please to you."

"Aren't you gonna beg us for mercy?" sneered Eclipse.

Without bothering to look back at him, Shadow replied, "Do it. If you seriously think that will break me, though, it won't. Do what you wish, but I never cry nor scream for the relief of pain or for mercy…you will have to try a lot harder for that."

If Mephiles had a mouth, he would have been smirking at this moment in time. "We shall see."

Suddenly, Shadow felt Eclipse's hands on his shoulders and he was forced to his knees. Before he could return to his feet, Eclipse snapped his fingers and his wrists and ankles were bound together behind him with a grey mist. Mephiles stood over him, his ruby eyes gleaming with evil delight.

"Have you ever wondered what a demon tastes like? Well, now you're going to find out."

Glancing up at Mephiles in disgust, Shadow spat, "The two of you will rot in hell for this! Believe me, when Rouge and Omega learn of this, they will hunt you both down and make you pay dearly!"

Eclipse bent down and hissed into the ebony hedgehog's ear, "Yeah, Mephiles and I are petrified of a powerless female bat and the tin man."

"Do not underestimate them, they are fiercely loyal to me and when angered, they're unstoppable!"

"Enough talking! Do as we say, or we'll have to make up for it when those two worthless allies of yours' do decide to join us!" demanded Mephiles.

"Never."

"Very well. Eclipse, let's skip to the main event, shall we?" said Mephiles.

Chuckling, Eclipse lay Shadow on his front and climbed on top of him. The crimson-streaked hedgehog gritted his teeth as Eclipse's lips met his neck. Mephiles continued to stand over him, watching in great anticipation as Eclipse made the mist holding Shadow's legs together disappear and used his hands to spread his legs apart, although Shadow's hands were still tied behind his back.

Shadow felt like vomiting, never before had he felt so violated, so defenceless…and being raped was one of his worst nightmares, as it was for anyone. He growled when Eclipse started to suck on his neck, his hands pinning his legs down. Once Eclipse had planted a hickey on his neck, he mercilessly inserted himself into the hedgehog's rear, earning a deafening scream from the one beneath him. After what seemed like an hour of constant pain and a few groans reluctantly coming from Shadow, the climax finally arrived and the assaulted hedgehog became unconscious, the last thing he heard being cries of victory from his two greatest foes.
