Chapter 3: The Truth About Dark Sonic Part 1: Fusion of the Soul

Sonic ran forward. It was the only place he could go. Going back would be a mistake, for going back would mean betraying his friends through leaving them to be tortured. He also couldn't go left or right, and for the same reason. It was only a few mere seconds to Eggman's base anyways. And for that precise matter did Sonic keep going.

As the base rapidly came into view he saw guard robots everywhere. Of course he didn't have to worry about them; they were easy to defeat. But what he did have to worry about was the water that surrounded his base. Somehow, Eggman had gotten a better strategy and had decided to use Sonic's one weakness against him. Water, great, Sonic thought bitterly.

A missile hit the ground to his right. He dodged, saying, "Whoa, way to close!" Another one hit the ground to his left. This time, Sonic laughed, "At least they have bad aim." But, of course there was one lucky robot with good aim; a missile hit the ground in front of him, almost getting one of Sonic's legs. "Whoa! Looks like Egghead's getting better with creating robots!" He jumped, dodging a bullet that would've hit its mark, and did a spin-dash on one of the machines. The robot exploded on contact and shards of metal lodged themselves in other robots, making those explode as well.

"At least his toys break easily." Sonic chuckled, running the rest of the way until he came to the water defense. He slid on the slick grass, barely stopping before he went over the ledge that led into an underground river. Just as a stone fell into the water, he whistled and whipped his brow, saying, "That was a close one!" Unfortunately, the little rock set off sensors that were in the water. Apparently, water wasn't there just for defense; it was an alarm.

"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" A machine whined, warning everyone in the base that Sonic was there.

"Whoops, should've braked earlier, I guess." Sonic said, shrugging his shoulders. "Oh well. No point in worrying about it now!" Sonic backed up just as a swarm of robots headed his way. He grinned, thinking, this should be fun. Of course, fun for him was dangerous for others but, did he care? Nope. The robots were now in front of him and behind him. But, that didn't matter, 'cause Sonic was already far back enough to do a Sonic Boom.

The robots started to surround him. But did he care? Nope, 'cause he was going to blast through them as if they were nothing. When he was back as far as he needed nearly hundreds of robots had already swarmed him. He grinned, backed up about two-centimeters, and started running forwards.

In less than two seconds he had already broken through all of the robots and was halfway to the water. There was an audible boom as he broke the sound barrier. He barely had time to react when he reached the water; he jumped as high as he could and sailed right over it! He landed on the other side of the underground river, barely making it by mere inches.

"Heh, Egghead needs some better defenses!" Sonic commented, starting to run towards the base again; but, he never made it through the doors. Everything went dark; Sonic skidded to a halt, trying to dodge what was in front of him. Instead, he halted next to them, and what he saw was terrifying; Amy lay on the ground, presumably dead. His eyes widened and he turned around quickly so he wouldn't have to see, and got another surprise. This time he saw Tails. He closed his eyes, knowing that if he turned the other way he's probably see Knuckles.

Sonic heard an evil cackle coming from behind him. He turned around and what he saw made him involuntarily shrink away. "Y-You're me?" No, no this couldn't be happening! That dark figure couldn't be him! Ah, but it was. Even though there was a strong evil aura about the figure, it was obviously Sonic. The way the quills shaped upward was exactly like the ones in his super form full power, the grin on his face may have been evil but it was also the same as Sonic's usual one; except that his usual isn't tainted with darkness. The body shape was also not unlike his and the shoes the figure wore were exactly like his. He instantly recognized this as his dark form. "Why are you here?"

He cackled evilly, "I've always been here. I'm a part of you, aren't I? I can never leave. The first time you transformed I may have been tamed but now I've been unleashed and you can never escape me!"

Sonic's ears went back in anger and protest, "Oh yeah! And what if I defeat you right now? Then what? Will you disappear forever?" He got into a fighting position, which on made Dark Sonic laugh in amusement.

"It's futile to fight; I will always be a part of you now that the Doctor has unlocked my full potential." Dark Sonic used the name Eggman's subordinates used because this wasn't just merely Dark Sonic, the transformation that had no mind, no will on its own. No, this was the very being Eggman had basically created and it would not leave, like it had said. For now that it was created and had fused with Sonic soul, only the death of Sonic could make him disappear and that was very unlikely to happen; for Eggman would not allow Sonic to die now that he had made him into his own pawn.

Sonic tossed and turned in his sleep, muttering the words, "Dark", "Transformation" and "Pain". Amy stood over him, worried for her hero, her childhood friend, her lover. "Oh Sonic," she moaned, wiping his forehead once more. "Your fever has not broken; in fact it has risen to 102.4. If this keeps up, will you be here to love me; to take me out on dates? To…To save us when Eggman threatens us harm?" Tears leaked out of her eyes, and she wiped them away hastily. This is no time to be crying! If Sonic and I's roles were switched right now, Sonic wouldn't be crying! He would find a way to make sure that I wouldn't die, she thought sadly, more tears leaking out her eyes and cascading down her face.

Eggman, looking at the vital signs of Sonic that were being computed to him by the microchip inserted into the blue hero, sighed and rubbed his forehead in agitation. "That transformation shouldn't have caused him to go into a state of shock. I thought that if I had implanted that chip that it would prevent this from happening but apparently it only made the situation worse." He sighed, the situation he was facing angering him. He couldn't believe that he would have to save his worst enemy's life. He slammed his fist onto the red button next to his hand, causing his ships engines to start up. "They better not give me resistance, or I might just have to abandon this plan of mine and he'll have to fight off the shock of his power loss himself."

Tails called Knuckles' name over and over again, but he got no reply in return. Where is he? Doesn't he know that Sonic's condition is worsening? Tails sighed as his cell phone rang, it was none other than Amy, of course. But when he answered it, something was wrong. Amy was crying.

"T-Tails, Sonic…Egg-Eggman he-" Amy's voice was shaking and cracking.

"Amy, calm down. What happened to Sonic? And what does Eggman have to do with it?" Tails inquired, trying to quiet the female hedgehogs' sobs.

"Eggman took Sonic. I don't know why, but he just charged in with 10 robots and-and just t-took him. They trashed everything, they threw me against a wall but th-they picked up Sonic gently and carried him away. Eggman wouldn't—he wouldn't tell me why." Amy was now reaching hysteria.

"Oh man, Amy I'll be right there! Also, call Melissa! She needs to know about this if she hasn't heard already! And where is Knuckles?" Tails hung up the phone, exasperated and confused at the sudden turn of events.

What did Eggman want with Sonic? Well, he might never find out if he didn't rescue the blue blur soon.

The next chapter the truth will be revealed to Amy and Tails! But will they survive the encounter with Eggman to actually remember it? You'll just have to wait and see.=p And yes, I know that Amy wasn't his childhood friend. Pretend that she is though, 'kay? Also, I won't be able to update for 2 1/2 weeks 'cause I'm on vacation!=D
