Lauren the Echidna

Chapter 25

Dark Super Form Revealed

My eyes were widened with so much fear I couldn't stop myself from shaking. Even though my anger was building, I knew that I couldn't do anything to save my family. Mephiles glared down at me, which made me shake even more, then raised his hand to snap, when there was a bright light shining above his fingers. He laughed evilly and looked me in the eyes. My green eyes shrank and I blinked, still trying to break free of the ice from my feet.

"Wh...What are you gonna do..." I stuttered and shook badly, unable to move any longer, feeling his dark energy in his eyes. Mephiles did nothing but laugh again then tossing the orb of light into my face, but instead in went into my mouth and forcing me to swallow. I gagged after that and started to hold my throat in pain. I shouted at the top of my lungs, not knowing what he had done to me at first. A faint red and black aura began to surround my entire body, an aura so strong, it broke the ice around my feet and I was thrown back onto the floor. My dad stood in front of my mom, as if protecting her from what was going on, then got to Sandy to huddle and stay away from this immense power coming from me.

Mephiles laughed once again and shouted,

"THOSE LAST TWO CHAOS EMERALDS ARE AS GOOD AS MINE! You will go and find them for me...or it will be the death of your family..." My eyes were shut tight, but one of them had barely opened to look into his now dark eerie green eyes. More and more fear had come into my body, but it was way worse. Those eyes...what made them so evil? Was there some way that I could convince him to become good? There was no way...so I stood up, still grasping my throat in pain and grunted.

"I...ngh...would never...give you those emeralds..." I grunted again as I stood nothing but a few feet from him. His feet were at least a few inches off the ground, so he raised his foot back behind him and lunged it at my jaw, which threw me up into the air and back against the wall next to the cage. My parents gasped in fear as they saw me get hurt by one fell swoop of Mephiles' foot, but were only silenced from a glare from Mephiles' eyes.

"This is your last chance, Lauren...go find those emeralds...or I will end these lives over here..." He pointed his hand up to my parents a good ways away from the cage, suddenly emitting a yellow aura from around it. This element he was using was indeed electricity, obtaining it from the yellow Chaos Emerald, and it grew rapidly. My mom shook in fear, but my dad still had that glare on his face, staring into the eyes of that one black mass of evil.

Mephiles chuckled in delight, fascinated by my dad's courage. He walked closer to the cage and looked my dad straight in the eyes. With every ounce of courage in him, my dad stood up and walked over to the cage bars and gritted his teeth.

"Listen, you bastard...you'd better leave my daughter alone or I'll--" But his sentence was cut off by Mephiles phasing through the bars of the cage and flicking his finger on my dad's forehead, suddenly making him fall back onto the floor with much force. This made my dad shout loudly in pain as he rolled over onto his side, feeling the pain in his back, as it has been bothering him for quite sometime now. He grunted in pain for a moment then just stayed quiet, looking upward into Mephiles' eyes once again.

"You are quite the smart-ass, human. I wonder how Lauren will feel if I destroy you first...hmhmhm..." Mephiles raised his hand again about to shoot electricity from his fist, until he was grabbed by the back of the neck by a familiar hand. The hand was covered in a black and red substance, able to grab Mephiles with ease and then pulled him through the bars and back onto the wall behind him.

"GAAH!" Mephiles shouted as he hit the wall then growled looking to who it was that had attacked him.

That familiar hand was still covered in a black and red oozy substance, which led up to the arm, also covered in it, but as Mephiles looked up, he couldn't believe how it was that this person was still able to fight.

"Hehehehe....are you surprised, Mephiles? I think I have this power down." That person smirked and their fur was now a dark yellow color, clothes now all black, but with only one red stripe on the shirt. Yes...it was me. I had flickered over into my darkest form. My anger was too great to be held in any longer...Mephiles stood to his feet and snickered.

"My my...what have we here? So you finally know about the dark side of our super forms...hmhmhm...how quaint. You probably don't even know how to--GAH!" Mephiles' shout was heard again only by a simple thrust punch from one of my fists, which made him crash through the wall and into the hallway of the building, then skidding across the ground, finally stopping into the skating rink. Mephiles grunted and looked up, each of the five colors on his quills were flashing their individual color and then growled more, starting to show fangs from the black mass of his muzzle.

I stood there with that black and red aura surrounding me and beginning to form into what was sought to look like an eagle, it being the main mascot of my school. I snickered and showed fangs of my own back at him, eyes glowing from green then turning to dark red. Also, my snicker began to turn to evil-like giggles, which is something surprising from my mouth. I never giggled, I actually laughed hard, but in this case, the dark energy was taking over me, making me giggle like a simple little kid gawking at some other pathetic kid that was being bullied.

Mephiles floated upward a few inches off the ground, only to be knocked down again by another one of my thrust punches. I knew in my head that I was winning, but it wasn't really me in there...but another mind was in it...

"Hmhmhmhm......hehehe...AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!" I laughed heartily and loudly, hands placed out in front of me aways, and feet spread out a bit. That aura grew bigger and bigger by the second, not wanting to stop at all...my parents watched in fear as they saw what their daughter had become right before their eyes...

This was the darkest form that has ever been devised in the Sonic world...Dark Super had emerged from my body now...and this one was even more dark than any other form in the world...
