Chapter 10
Fragmented Memories Pieced Together
"So, what will it be Sonic? Your freedom? Or their pain?" Black Doom asked Sonic.
Sonic looked at Tails' cowering form and then looked at Black Doom's hand.
"If it means that they're gonna be safe then ... I'll do it," Sonic said and took Black Doom's hand.
Black Doom smiled, although it couldn't be seen. He helped Sonic to his feet and the hedgehog looked at Tails with small tears in his eyes.
"...I'm sorry, bud..." he said.
Tails looked up and saw Sonic. He crawled over to the cages' bars where Sonic was standing in front of and looked up at Sonic.
"S...Sonic, is that ... you?" he asked.
Sonic gulped and looked away from Tails.
"Please ... get me out of here," Tails said with a worried tone.
Black Doom put a hand on Sonic's shoulder and led him away from the cage and to the middle of the room.
"Come, Sonic. You need to know the rest about your past," he said.
Sonic nodded and followed. Tails watched and clutched the bars tightly in his grasp. He saw all of a sudden that Sonic's fur was black.
"And why is your fur black?" Tails asked.
Sonic looked at Tails and then turned away. The tears in his eyes went away, but not before one went down his cheek. Black Doom raised a brow at his tear and then decided to tell him the rest.
"You ... You said something about the r...rest of my past?" Sonic asked with a tone that sounded like he was crying. "I thought I already had every memory unblocked now."
"Yes. Some parts of your memory are still fragmented from the barrier, but I can tell you the rest, because you wouldn't remember it because you were an infant then," he told Sonic.
"An infant?" Sonic asked.
"A baby hedgehog," Black Doom answered.
"Uh huh, I can easily still tell you might lie to me," Sonic said, raising an eyebrow.
The worried and scared expression he had had changed to suspicion as the black alien leader said this.
"Yes and no," Black Doom said. "But you can't blame the alien that raised you from a small hedgehog."
Sonic frowned at Black Doom and growled.
"Fine. What is it?" Sonic snarled.
"Well..." Black Doom started.
Tails leaned forward against the bars to hear what Black Doom had to say and frowned as he didn't know Black Doom had known Sonic. He had known Sonic for quite some but Tails never knew the origins of his big brother or his speed. Black Doom may be able to answer these questions if he didn't lie.
"You were never born or created on this planet. You have never known about Earth until I told you that I had saved you from human forces here. You were instead born on the planet Morkilious. The first planet the Black Arms had attacked and took over when we arrived in this dimension," Black Doom explained to Sonic.
Sonic's eyes widened and he took a few steps back.
"T...That's impossible," Sonic said.
"Mmm...no, no, no, Sonic. This is the real truth. The Black Arms and I attacked the planet and killed your parents. But when I got to you. Your aura of power was so strong. So strong, I had to have you. I told the Black Arms to finish off the planet while I took you to our ship and raised you," he told Sonic.
"Y...You monster. You...You took away my family for your own benefit!" Sonic shouted.
"But isn't this life much better than you expected! The friends you have gained, the power you have! Isn't this life better than what would have happened!" Black Doom exclaimed.
Sonic shook his head in anger, tears flowing from his eyes.
"NO! I Didn't Know My Parents! I'll Never Get To Know Them And What The Planet I Came From Was Like! All Because Of Your Selfishness!" Sonic shouted.
"My selfishness, young hedgehog! Mine! You would rather be dead and with the King and Queen than live this wonderful life you have!" Black Doom shouted back.
"Wait ... King and Queen?" Sonic asked.
"Oh! Didn't I tell you? Your parents were the King and Queen of Morkilious and you, Sonic, were the Prince of Morkilious before it was destroyed," Black Doom told Sonic, the smile growing more on his face.
Sonic's facial expression changed from sadness and despair to shock and surprise as this was just told to him. He was the Prince of a planet he had never heard of until now. The most part that freaked him out was that he had found out he wasn't a regular Mobian hedgehog. He was an alien hedgehog.
WHOA! Bet you weren't expecting this! I haven't been on the internet since Tuesday because my Mum's computer broke and we had to get my Grandma's. It's alot slower than the last one and we don't know how long it will last. So, be patient if I don't update quick enough because the computer might have broken. I'll tell you in ONE of my updates when I have a new computer that won't brake until a few years time. Until R&R and Enjoy!
