Chapter 11: An Evil Within

Around nine I head my ways to Tail's house to test out my new powers. Amy is also wanting to come along to watch my training.

"Say Ivan, I didn't get to know what powers you have."

"Tails told me that I have lightning powers. I can't wait to use this." I got all hype, so we hurried to Tail's place. We went inside and see him getting ready his virtual world machine.

"Hey Tails."

"Hey guys. You ready Ivan?"

"Oh I'm pump." I jump on the chair and wear the goggles as Tails is starting the system. I haven't been so excited for a long time. Tails is about to send me to the virtual world. "Ready?" "Let's do it." He press the button and the numbers began to run passed me like the last time. Once I appear to the virtual word that same headache appeared again, but I know it's a quick pain.

I look up and ask Tails. "Alright Tails, I'm in, so what's my training?"

"The training is the same, except now you can use your new powers."

"Awesome." He spawned a couple of dummies in the distant. I focus and my hands are showing lightning, I carefully aimed to one of the dummies and fired a bolt, but instead a bolt has a massive amount of energy and blew up all the dummies. Glad I'm in a safe distant; otherwise this attack will hurt like hell.

"Ok, I overdid it. Phew…why am I tired? I only shot one bolt."

"You're just getting started Ivan."

"Wow, this is Ivan's new power?" Someone from behind answered her question.

"Yes, but he's still in a long way to go." Amy turns and sees Blaze and Silver.

"Blaze and Silver, you guys are here too?" She's surprised that they decided to come to check on me to make sure if something happens.

"We told you that we're going to check Ivan. It seems that he's already at his limit." Back at the virtual world, I became exhausted and trying to think a way to get my energy back. After a minute, I come up an idea; if I can shoot lightning, then maybe I can get some lightning. I look up and talk to Tails.

"Hey Tails, can spawn something that carries electricity?" Tails spawn a generator fill with electricity.

"Here you go Ivan."

"Thanks man." I focus my energy and lightning is flowing out of the generator to my hands. Once I drain all the power to the generator, I feel much better. I guess now I'm a walking battery, but this battery can leech out other batteries. I'm probably going to abuse the hell out of this ability.

"Ah, now I'm better. Hey Tai- huh?" I see couple of sparks about three inches from my hands and I can barely see some sort of sharp object. I focus my energy to see if I can make it more visible. I closed my eyes shut and focus an object to wield.

"What is he doing?" Silver took a closer look to the screen. Tails doesn't have a clue of what I'm trying to do. About a moment passed I hear the lightning sparking, I open my eyes and my face is priceless. I just summon a freaking sword made out of lightning! Everyone was shocked that I can do that.

"Is that…a sword?" Amy is speechless right now. Silver was also speechless, but to him something isn't right.

'Impossible, he summoned an element weapon? This can't right, the more I came to see that hedgehog he has something that the other Ivan doesn't. He never learned that or fought us with it. Either way, he's getting stronger by the minute. I'm starting to feel this won't take long to happen.'

I took a good look at the sword; it's a common broadsword, where the knights use it in battle. Something gave me an idea "Hey Tails, remember the bot that I couldn't beat, I want you to send it here."

"I don't think you're ready for it, but alright." I see the numbers spawning the bot. Once it's complete, I feel more confident of beating it.

"We meet again, my rival." I smiled as I'm getting ready for my rematch. Tails placed a count down. Once it hit zero, I rushed in and start swinging my sword. It dodged my attack and kicked me at out close range.

"So you're finally going to fight me serious now? 'Hang on; I can summon a sword, so maybe I can…' I focus to change the form and I summon an axe. 'I knew it.' The weight is extremely light; I guess the training with Amy was worth it. I charge and swing my axe to its legs, but it jumped and kicked me in the face.

"Ow my face!" I got up and try to think a strategy to hit it. 'Wait…I got it, maybe one isn't enough to beat it.' I stood up and summon my sword again. I charge to the bot and once I swing my sword, it did what I wanted to do. Out of nowhere another sword has summoned from my left hand and I finally hit it. 'Then two will do it.' I continue hitting it and then I shockwave it up to the sky. Tails stood up that I finally hit the bot and did some combos.

"No way, he hit it!"

'He can now summon more than one weapon, plus he has different selection of melee weapons. Ivan has the upper vantage.' Silver gives a serious look thinking that I could be more dangerous than the last.

I shoot a lightning rod and pull it down, then finish it with one slash and cut it in half. I did the pose that I sheath my sword and then the bot explodes from behind. Yep…cool guys don't look at explosions.

"No way…he…he beat it." Tails was surprised that it lost the battle. I finally got my revenge. My stomach begins to growl, looks my training here is done.

"Hey Tails, I'm done with this training. Send me back to the real world." Tails blurred out over his loss.

"Huh? Oh right, hang on Ivan." Tails press the return button, but it's not working. "What?" He keeps pressing it, but it's not bringing me back.

"What's wrong Tails? Why isn't it working?"

"I don't know Amy, this never happened before." Tails called me to tell me the problem. "Ivan, we have a problem."

"What is it?"

"I can't get you back to your conscious; I think there's a bit of technical difficulty. You might want to wait it out while I repair this."

"Alright Tails, but make it quick, I'm starving." Then suddenly the numbers are beginning to turn red and dark. I hear a feminine robotic voice; I think that female voice from portal. "I believe I can't let you escape trespasser. You will perish in this world."

"What...uh Tails, anytime now." I'm freaking out that the numbers are forming something, something big. At this rate I'll be in a problem. Tails took a look at the screen and sees the problem; he found a virus in the machine. "Oh no, this is bad." Everyone is starting to worry.

"What's wrong?"

"We have a virus Amy. That's a Code Red."

"Code Red, is it deadly?"

"Very. It takes over the machine and then controls it, but there's the good news and the bad news." Amy chose the good news if it eases her mind that is.

"What's the good news?"

"The good news is that we have a personal firewall, but…" Amy interrupt's him to finish his sentence.

"And that's where's the bad news comes in?"

"Right…our firewall is Ivan." The news shocked her.

"What! Why Ivan!?"

"Normally, the Code Red virus can sneak around an original firewall, but whenever there's a living system like Ivan. It's the best shield, but it can also be the weakest if that person won't keep it's guard up or…it'll delete you from the system and you're body will no longer be control, in other word, Ivan will die."

"What, can you stop it?"

"I need time to hack it, but it has to be distracted or it'll detect me and make things worse." Tails calls me to tell about the plan to stop virus.

"Ivan, are you there."

"Tails, are you getting me out? I don't like this one bit."

"I'm sorry Ivan, I can't get you out now."

"What why?"

"We have a virus, but I need you to keep it busy while I hack it."

"I think it already has my attention."

"What's its doing?" I took a look and dear god it's spawning an army of bandits.

"It's building an army, there's no way I can hold them off."

"Ivan, I just need a couple of minutes to get rid of it. You're the only one who's blocking the virus path from controlling the system. If you let it pass it'll erase you." That's more than enough to convince me to fight them.

"Alright I'll do it! You better be quick about this." I summon a new weapon that can take on those bandits. It's a dual swords with electric chains wrapped around my arms. Yeah you might know what weapon is that. 'Thank you God of War.' The virus completed spawning its army and they begin charging like maniacs. I charge into the stampede.

Tails quickly connects his laptop and begins hacking. Everyone else is watching the screen seeing if I can get out there alive. I let go of my swords and grab the chains and start spinning around, slicing multiple bandits. They were easy to take them out; none of them manage to get close to me. I switch to my spear and make myself a bandit kabob. I switch to my dual swords and then slashing them one by one. These guys don't even stand a chance.

Tails is half way done hacking and I'm just a badass beating the crap out of them. Amy and the others were relieved that I'm doing fine, actually more than fine.

"Is that all you got? Come on, who's next?"

"Impressive, but you will be deleted in this world one way or another. Perhaps this would suit you." The virus begins to spawn something. I was too busy killing these annoying bandits, until I feel the ground shaking. I turn and see a giant one-armed bandit holding a giant pipe, coming straight at me.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that!?" I just make a run for it; this guy is fifteen feet tall, just how the hell I'm going to fight that!?

"Come here you little rat!"

"You can talk!?" he swings his pipe at me, but I rolled out of the way. Instead of hitting me he attacked his own team. This gives me an idea. I shoot some bolts at him to get him angry.

"I'm gonna crush you like a cockroach!"

"That's scary." I slide under him and then jump on to his back. I grab hold of his head and start shocking it. My lightning isn't doing any good, his think skull is protecting some of the volts, but it's still doing what I want it to do. He's attacking his own team and I'm having too much fun riding him.

"Whoo!"

Amy went back to Tails if he's almost done.

"Tails, are you finish yet?"

"I'm at least seventy-five percent done; a couple more and the virus will be gone."

Once it's done clearing out most of the bandits, I finish it off with a lightning rod into his tiny brain; hey I need to make a clean kill. I thought it was over, but I was ambushed by a couple of midget bandits. Are you kidding me! One took a stab to my left shoulder and another grab hold of my neck so the bandits would get me. I shockwave them, but I'm running out of energy.

'Damn…I'm losing my strength…I'm not sure if I can hold out much longer.' I fell to my knees over exhaustion. Amy had enough of watching, she's now more than worry. She sat on the chair and wears the goggles.

"Amy what are you doing?"

"I have to help Ivan; he's not going to make it. Get me in Tails." Tails tries to talk Amy out of this

"Amy that's suicide, I can't let you in at this rate."

"If I help Ivan, you have more than enough time to stop Code Red. Please…get me in." Tails hate this idea, but she has a point. He sighed and activates the goggles to send her.

"Amy… I hope you know what you're doing."

"I am Tails." He pressed the button and Amy is transport to the virtual world. I look at the bandits charging to me, I knew…this is where I'll be brutally murdered by an army of bandits with hatchets. Then I see pink numbers in front of me spawning someone. When it's complete, Amy spawned and swings her hammer to bring out her tornado.

"Amy, what are you doing here?"

"Saving your life, that's what I'm doing." She picks me up and checks my wounds. It's bleeding pretty bad, but not fatal.

"How bad is it?"

"I'm no doctor, but you should be fine." I just remembered that I can regain my strength if I absorb something with electricity.

"Tails, send me a generator quickly!"

"Right." He quickly spawned the generator and I absorbed it. The chilling to the electric recovered most of my stamina and it even stopped the bleeding. I guess it does more than recharging.

"Oh my god, I need that."

"Now that you're better, let's take them down."

"Now that's more like, you and me back to back."

"Totally, I always want to fight by your side for once." I look at her and smiled

"Well, you got your wish, now let's finish this." We charge in to fight the bandits as a team. Amy took half of the group while I take the other. She smashed a lot of bandits in mid-air or to the ground. I continue slashing and shocking them.

Code Red summoned those giant bandits, but Amy and I just come up with the same idea. She swings her hammer bringing out a massive tornado. When it carried them along the newly summoned ones were caught in the wind, I shoot an energy bolt that I used the last time with a big bang.

"Whoo!"

"That was amazing!" Our celebration came short when more are coming this way. "There's too many of them Ivan."

"Hang on let me try something new." I summon a scythe and charge my energy; the blade grew bigger and turned into a dual blade. I swing the heavy scythe and release a large electric slash and created a gap between them. Silver and Blaze are watching the whole thing. Blaze becomes quite surprise that Amy and I work as a team, but Silver…he's more concerned about me.

'He released an energy slash. How can he do it in one try? Amy, you better watch out.'

I fell to the ground that I use almost all of my energy and then out of nowhere, I've been dogpiled by the bandits, they also got Amy. They achieve their victory of our capture.

"Tails how much longer? Get them out!" Tails is frustrated that things got worst.

"Five more minutes, I'm almost done!" He's typing fast as he can. The bandits we're looking at Amy and they were laughing.

"Well, well, well, we got a cutie here. What do you say we have some fun with her boys? They all cheered loudly as he's touching her face softly. One bandit asked him a question.

"Hey, what do we do with the spiky one? The bandit immediately gives an idea and I hated it.

"Put him in the cross like the rest of them!" Another bandit gives an idea.

"No, Burn him!" Then another gives an idea.

"Oh, how about let's roast him into some steak and then eat him!" The group cheers, they're going to turn me into food!

"I love that idea, we deserve it guys. Now, how about you give us some sugar cutie." They're taking Amy away while I'm stuck underneath, but I felt something somewhere in my chest…I felt something…that is not me. I slowly trying to get up and I become extremely angry every second.

"Get…your…hands…off…of…AMY!" My powers broke free from the pile and bandits are flying everywhere. But something isn't right, my aura appears and it's pure red. Blaze becomes shocked; she can now sense the power she was looking for.

"Silver…" He immediately comes to my body and grabs hold of my neck.

"Silver what are you doing?"

"It's finally happening!"

"What are you talking about?"

"This is what Ivan is capable of and I'm going to end him!" His hand glows green ready to kill me, but Tails stopped him.

"Silver don't, if you kill Ivan, then you'll kill Amy, letting the virus into the machine to create a bomb capable to destroy thirty acres in this area."

"What, how did you found out?"

"While I was hacking, I found some of Code Red's plans; It wants to create a system bomb fusing with the uranium battery. With it, it'll kill about a quarter million near Metropolis." Silver knows that he can kill me right here and now, but along sacrificing himself and a quarter million people. Silver couldn't think. Blaze comes to him and lays her hand on his shoulder.

"Silver…don't be like him in our future." He finally calms down, relax his fist, released my neck and was about to leave Tail's house.

"Where you're going?" Silver didn't answer and left. Blaze followed Sliver.

"I know you want to end the pain as much as I want to, but the risk was too high. If were gone this world will be doom with another evil. You must think before you act."

"…I understand, I'll…try to be more careful. 'Consider yourself lucky Ivan'"

Tails look over to the screen and see me brutally killing the bandits. He felt terrified seeing me doing this.

"Ivan…what happened in there?"

I smash my way through group, Red summoned another giant, but I done a Kalema and use his heart as a weapon. I hit one of the bandits face causing it to explode blood all over. I smiled seeing the blood flying. The bandit who's carrying Amy is looking for me. He's never been afraid like this.

"Whe-where did he go?" he turns and I jabbed him straight to the heart. Amy's witnessing me killing someone this close to her. She sees me first as a nice guy, but now…she fears me. She clearly sees me with pure black sclera and evil red iris on my left eye. My left side of my head has pure white fur, but it's only at the frontal lobe. The dying bandit still can talk after a jab to the heart, he use his dying breath as his last words.

"W-who…are….you…?" I gave him an evil laugh, but my voice sound hollowed.

"Heh-heh-heh…you want to know who I am? I have…..no name!" I released a dark power draining his life energy until he is nothing left but a wrinkle corpse. I pull something out of him, it's a ball glowing red. I look at it a little and slowly open my mouth then eat it.

Amy looks at the body and has a hole where I jabbed him. She remembered that Silver found victims who have holes in their chest, but they don't know why there are hole in them. Now she sees it; that was a soul. The remaining bandits charges at me. I slowly turn and give them a devilish smile and then vanished.

"What the-" They turn and I'm in the middle of them. I just stood there for a moment.

"…Preys…all of you…are my preys…and…" I raise my arms and charge my energy then, I finish my sentence. "I'll feast your souls!" I unleash a nova field of electricity, but it's leeching their life energy in great pain. There were so many screams in agony.

Amy runs up to me and hug me from behind, thinking it would stop me killing them slowly, but it also starts draining her life energy too.

"Ivan, stop…" A small amount of her life energy had taken away from her and she fell. The last word I hear before she lands is. "…Please…" I hear a heartbeat and then my eye and fur from my left side of the lobe have disappeared.

I return to be myself, but then I look around and see corpse everywhere. I never felt afraid and I look at my hands full of blood. I was shaking. Then I see Amy on the ground. I run up to her and I'm worried.

"Amy…no,no,no,no,no, please don't do this. Tails! Tails!" I turn her over and start compressing her, trying to save her. "Come on Amy, stay with me." I lower my head and I don't hear a heartbeat. I was devastated. I yelled Tails again if he's here.

"Tail!"

"Ivan?" He finally responds.

"I need your help, Amy is out cold."

"I got a defibrillator, hang on." He lifted Amy's shirt and attach the heart monitor, it's on zero. "Oh god...'Calm down, she may have couple of seconds, I can still save her.'" He place a pace maker on her heart area, then activate the charge, but it didn't work.

I come up an idea that since I have electricity powers, I can be a defibrillator, I charge my power and shock her, but it didn't work. I was losing hope.

"It's not working Tails!"

"Ivan I got a plan, we charge her at the same time that should bring her back."

"You think so?"

"We won't know until we try." Tails activate the charge and I charge my energy.

"On three. One…two…three!" We shock her at the same and she rises with a couple of coughs. I couldn't hold my tears any longer "Amy!" I hug her tightly and my tears are pouring for bringing her back to life.

"We did it…we brought her back!" Tails celebrated as well. Amy looks at me for a moment; she thinks that this is dream.

"Ivan…is that you?"

"Yeah Amy…it's really me." I sniffed a lot and dry my tears, so I don't look like a baby. Then Tails send us back to the real world, we open our eyes and I help Tails to get Amy to a bed, where she can rest. While we're taking her to Tail's room, I feel an odd chill in my left arm, I look at it and for a moment I saw a red aura fading away.

"What the-" I fell, but I grab on the edge of the table to get back up.

"Ivan, you should also get some rest." I didn't listen to Tails and continue helping Amy to the room.

"I'll rest once Amy is ok." We got her to bed.

"Thanks guys."

"Get some rest Amy, I'm gonna take a nap. My head's killing me." I feel exhausted and walk my way to the couch to rest.
