Chapter Twenty One
~Six Hours ago~
Shine could feel Mortuus' anger seeping back into her mind. She glanced up at Shadow, Tails, and Kat, who stared at her. Shine fell to her knees. She was vaguely aware that she yelled something, before she felt her back starting to split and her deformed wings burst out. She heard Shadow say something to Kat and Tails before leaving the building.
Right after the door closed behind her friends, her hands started to change. The joints popped as the fingers grew longer and thicker, turning into huge talons. They gripped at the metal floor until it crumpled like a tomato can.
"You're a fool, hedgehog!" Mortuus spat. "You let them go hardly without a fight!" Mortuus gripped at the flooring, ripped it off the floor, and flung it across the room. "Do you have any idea of how long I've been waiting?"
Shine clenched her fists. "Get out of my damn head!" She yelled into the empty room.
Mortuus gave no answer; he simply twisted her insides painfully.
Shine gasped and fell to her knees again, her arms wrapped around her stomach. Her blood-slicked wings curled around her like a leather shell, instinctively protecting her. "As soon as I get the chance," She hissed through gritted teeth "I'm going to fucking rip you apart."
"Don't hold your breath, rat." Mortuus snarled back. He slid into her mind and managed to get control again. He forced her to stand, and when she was stable again, he folded her wings neatly behind her. "Now," Mortuus growled "We have things to do."
Mortuus walked into the room where he had kept the two foxes. It growled when he realized they didn't even kill Byrch. They just left her there, unconscious, wrapped up in chains. It walked up to Byrch and kicked her boot.
"Wake up." Mortuus growled, kicking her boot again. Byrch's eyes snapped open, instantly looking at Mortuus. "You're useless." Mortuus hissed, walking back out of the room, not bothering to unchain her.
Mortuus needed someone with information. Someone who could easily be disposed of. Which, of course, he found. He also found a new plaything, which he was just about to check on.
He walked down the halls, eventually reaching a large door with a very intricate security system. Mortuus unlocked it and opened the doors, walking in. He didn't bother turning lights on. He could see perfectly fine. His guest, on the other hand, was as good as a rock in this darkness. Exactly what Mortuus needed, for now.
"Hello, Sonic." Mortuus greeted Sonic the Hedgehog brightly. He walked up to the hedgehog, leaning over him. "How are you this fine morning?"
Sonic opened one eye, even though he couldn't see in the midnight black surroundings. "I'm dandy." He growled.
"Now, now. No need for sulking. Big boys don't sulk."
"Will you shut up?"
Mortuus gasped melodramatically. "What a mean way to thank me and all my hospitality."
"Oh, gee. I'm so sorry. My heart weeps." Sonic jangled the chins that held his wrists. "I assume you're here to set me free, no?"
"Oh dear, no. Then you would runaway. That's not allowed." Mortuus clicked Shine's tongue three times. "Nope, not until it's time."
"And when is that?"
Mortuus grinned. "Soon. Don't become impatient, Sonic."
Sonic rolled his eyes. Mortuus just grinned even wider and walked out of the room.
"Let me out of here!" Sonic called after Mortuus. "Or I swear to god, I'll rip your throat out."
"You do realize that it would be Shine's throat you're ripping out, right?" Mortuus asked, walking back towards Sonic.
"Well, she has caused enough trouble for us all already." Sonic glared at the spot Mortuus stopped at, unable to see in the darkness."
Mortuus just smiled and crouched by Sonic. "Wow. You're even worse than Shadow, aren't you?"
"Excuse me?"
"You're no the way you used to be, huh? It seems bringing you back from the dead has really unhinged you." Mortuus grinned in the darkness. "Which, frankly, I need. You see, Shine can do all these amazing things, right? She can fly. She can Chaos Blast. She can Chaos Control. But both me and her have been weakened. She's losing her touch. I need a fresh body - Someone useful."
"You're talking nonsense."
"Let me put it this way, Sonic." Mortuus growled." Shine is regaining her control faster than I thought she would. I need to get what I have to done before she gets full control, but I won't get the chance and I am fully aware of it, even if she's not." Mortuus grinned again. "That's where you come in - With all that anger built up inside you, you could damn well be as powerful as Shine. In the right circumstances, that is. And it would take ages for you to regain control. By then I'll have everything I wanted to get done, completed."
Sonic snorted. "You claim to be a god. How come you need a host, if you're so powerful?"
"Why? It's all for power, my friend. If you haven't noticed, I admire it." Mortuus growled. "Besides, I never claimed to be a god. I simply claimed to be god-like."
"What about Tails and Shadow, then? You haven't been beaten over the head yet, so I'm guessing you've managed to kill them."
"Kill them? Not yet. It's much more entertaining to drag it out, you see." Mortuus stood. "Good luck with your empty room and your raging insanity. I'm afraid I have things to do."
"You're like a spoiled kid, aren't you?" Sonic growled as Mortuus walked away. "If you don't get what you want, you lash out. What happens when you start to lose, Mortuus?"
"What happens?" Mortuus stopped. "Well, I've never considered that possibility." He turned to Sonic. "I suppose I just kill everyone I can before I go down."
Sonic muttered something darkly under his breath. Louder, he said "You're going to be stopped. You've been stopped before, it can happen again."
Mortuus laughed. "Yes, but it was only temporary. And look at the good it did you." He walked out, leaving Sonic to stare into the darkness.
