Warning, full on lemon.
25 - An Antagonist
Okay, this was a bit much.
Okay, maybe a little too much.
...Okay, maybe there wasn't anything 'little' about this.
He actually felt the unadulterated feeling of being penetrated. It didn't feel that good at first, but Sonic could tell that he was getting closer to the spot that he was fingering. When he was touching himself, he touched a certain spot inside of him a few times that made him feel really good. Of course, Shadow talking dirty to him helped out, but he did genuinely feel some pleasure. He could feel a place that, if hit or touched enough, he'd end up climaxing. If Shadow hit that, things would get real fun, real quick. But first, he needed to get used to his size.
As Shadow pressed both his length and his body into him, Sonic gasped and gripped his fingers into his fur. He was almost completely in, and it was a little uncomfortable. This reaction caused the elder hedgehog above him to stop, and make a side glance at his face. "Sorry." He apologized quickly.
"I-It's fine, just let me get used to it. Alright?"
"Anything you want." The dark one replied smoothly, his tone becoming more gruff and husky. Almost as if he was talking in a growl. The hero loved that, it made his body temperature rise. Speaking of rising temperatures, he started to sweat. All in his most private areas, too. In between his legs, his torso and even his face. Anyway, Shadow on the other hand was secretly losing it. Sonic was so God damn tight. It was like a death-grip, a harsh and powerful hold on him. This is exactly what he was waiting for, what he craved for, what he'd kill for.
"I need you," Shadow said in between kisses. "I want to be inside you.."
Yes, those words he said to him days ago, were so very true. He always wanted to be inside of Sonic, he always desired to feel his essence. He was so beautiful, he was so untouchable. The body of an athlete, flawless legs that were perfect for getting in between. That sapphire colored fur, so unnaturally alluring. Eyes as green as granny smith apples, as bright as the most lustrous emerald. The youth of his innocence was still so evident, yet he physically matured amazingly. He loved touching him, he loved doing things to him, he loved seeing his face gasp and moan. Hearing him scream his name, beg for release, it haunted his dreams.
Hell, he never realized he could dream until he met him. He always had dreamless nights, as he figured he was never meant to have dreams. He figured it would be, in a way, 'programmed' into his brain. But like always, this hedgehog made him do things he never thought he could do before. Heh, that's okay though. After tonight, he was going to send this kid to a grand paradise. Also, speaking of which, Shadow felt the extreme tightness loosen up a little. Actually, Sonic was so tight that he barely was able to move. Not that he didn't like the sensation of it, but it'd be a problem if he wanted to plow him.
Shadow's ear picked up on the sound of Sonic's breathing slow to a more serene pattern. That's good, he was relaxing himself so he could adjust to his size. He was so proud of him. He knew this was difficult for him. After all, this was the kid who was used to being with a girl. Now he here he was, volunteering to take the submissive role. This was a process that was both strange and painful. He wasn't used to this, and he probably didn't like it at first. But he was willing to do this for him, willing to give him what made him who he is.
Not a hero, but someone of purity.
"You said," Sonic started to speak to him. An ebony furred ear flicked at the sound of his voice being so close to him. "You said you wanted to be inside me, right?" He never sounded so, ready, before all of this. "How does it, you know, feel?"
"Fucking incredible." The ultimate life form swore assertively into the nape of his neck. "This is the most, amazing feeling...There's no other way to describe it." He pressed a small kiss on the side of his neck, with the other squirming a little. "But, it'll feel ten times better once you feel it too."
The younger made sort of a pained laugh. "Oh trust me-ngh...I feel it. Like I said before, you're huge." He rubbed his hand against Shadow's back, just to feel him. "You must have made Rouge quite a happy lady-"
"Enough about her." Shadow curtly cut him off.
"Ah, sorry.." Sonic quickly apologized, as he understood the tone in his voice. Probably not a good time to bring that up.
"I just don't want you to think about anyone else, that's all." He gave a few more kisses, trailing down to his shoulder blade. "We're the only ones here. I'm the only one you need to worry about." He gave a small nibble, earning a small moan. He rubbed both of his up the sides of his body, caressing his torso and arms. "I'm going to," He tried to choose his words carefully. "Begin, now."
"I'm ready. I think."
Shadow pushed his hips forward, pressing his entire length inside of his lover. The pressure of his insides were so strong. It was squeezing him so tightly, adjusting and pulling him in even more. Chaos, it felt so damn good. Sonic was still looking into his eyes, watching him as he began to carefully pull out. Exiting his body wasn't that easy, as that's how much compression was placed upon him. Once he was out, he voiced a small grunt as pressed back in. A little easier than last time, he noticed. Sonic inhaled sharply, releasing a long sigh as Shadow extracted himself out once again. He was stretching more, making the path ease up on it's tight hold.
Another push, with slight more speed than the last. With every push inside of Sonic, he wanted to make sure the entirety of his member settled in. The more Sonic's body got used to it, the better the experience for himself, and him. It was just difficult for him, considering every push felt like a rigid metal ruler was pushing inside of him. But it would get better, and it would get easier. As of now, it already was. Just a little more, a few more times should do it. The steady and slow pace of their lovemaking, was actually just another stage of preparation in the hero's perspective. Just another phase until the real deal.
After maybe a few more minutes, Shadow immediately felt the pressure loosen to a more comfortable degree. Of course the tightness was still very evident, but Shadow could actually move around better. Because of this, when he went push in again, he accidentally thrusted. He supposed he got too eager just then. The action caused Sonic to moan. It wasn't of pain though, that was a sound of pleasure. Yes, that's the reaction he wanted. Shadow pulled out a little, and gave another thrust. That earned him another moan from the hedgehog below him. He repeated this over and over, until they eventually developed a rhythm.
He was going faster, he was penetrating him with less gentleness after each thrust. He wasn't going easy on him anymore, his erection pressing deeper into his body every single time. Sonic wasn't used to moaning so much like a girl, so he tried stifling his vocals by biting his lip. However, it wasn't working very well. He even tried to cover his mouth with his hand, but he still couldn't help it. "M-Mmnn..! Mmn..!" The bed was beginning to shake, pillows knocking into each other from the headboard. Shadow's shaft felt good, it was actually starting to feel really good. He could tell he was still holding back though, he could go a lot harder and faster than this.
Shadow pressed a couple of kisses on Sonic's cheek, hugging his body close as he pressed himself in and out. "Does it feel good now?" He whispered. "You feel good. So good..." He grunted and thrusted roughly. Sonic tried to withhold a gasp, but the biohog didn't like that. He commanded him to take his hand off of his mouth, now. "I want to hear your voice. I want to hear you whine and moan. I want to hear everything." As punishment, Shadow shoved himself against him. That did the trick, as Sonic cried out from the sheer physically shock of the thrust. His voice became more breathless, panting with sensuality and desire. He was starting to sweat, with his eyes ominously giving a sign of hunger for more. He was smiling at him. Well, with a face like that, Shadow guessed he was finally enjoying himself. "Oh? What's with that face?"
"Let me ride you.." He requested with a lewd tone.
"My," Shadow pressed his fingers against his ass, giving another thrust before speaking again. Sonic groaned, arching is body and gripping his nails in his dark lover's back. "An interesting request." He lifted one of his hands away from his lower body, and reached the blue hedgehog's face to caress and direct it towards his own. He thrusted again while kissing him, licking and biting his lip like he tried to do earlier to muffle his sounds of pleasure. He opened his mouth and gave a few licks on his tongue, before disconnecting their mouths and pulling himself out of him. He placed his hands on the bed to push himself off of his form, and laid down on his back.
Sonic's eyes shined in excitement at the sight of Shadow's stiff erection. It was standing up on it's own, and it was moist with precum. He quickly crawled over to him, and moved his body to straddle him. In a way, the tables turned. With his backside right in front of Shadow's member, he lifted his lower body upwards with his arse precisely above it. He rammed himself down upon him, causing them both to moan loudly. Sonic's legs slightly shivered with intense sexual shock. On his knees while sitting in Shadow's lap, he placed one hand on top of his elder lover's abdomen. He pressed his lips together while closing his eyes, lifting himself up, and then harshly pushing himself down.
Sonic did this over and over, shaking his ass on the member inside of him. His efforts to pleasure Shadow even further were surely paying off, because the ultimate life form nearly cried out in extreme euphoria. Thankfully, it only came out as a groan. Just watching Sonic impale himself constantly with his shaft was enough to send him over the edge. His hips and thighs moved hypnotically on top of him, slamming himself up and down into his lap. Shadow shot out his hands to grab his bottom and grope him while helping him sway his body up against him. He was sweating as well, now. This kid was making him go insane.
"A-Ahh.." The young hedgehog's mouth stayed open as moans and whines continuously left his throat. "Fuuuck..." His language just got worse ever since this relationship was established, Shadow noticed. As he rode him, he took his free hand and pleasured himself by rubbing his own nether regions. "Shadow," He moaned his name so erotically, he almost climaxed from that alone. But no, he had to hold out longer, because he was far from done. Compared to the long list of things he wanted to do to this hedgehog, they've only scratched the surface. The way he pleased himself while moving his ass on top of his length, he couldn't help smacking it. Did he already mention that he was beautiful? Because he was. He was the epitome of beauty. "Chaos..!" He gasped again. "Oh fuck me...!"
Shadow smirked at this. "If you insist-" He thrusted himself in time with Sonic's movements, matching each other's speeds and motions for simultaneous self-indulgence. Using his behind as leverage, he helped Sonic ride him, humping him with rapid speed and even harsher thrusts. The hero made a loud cry, unusually sounding more emotional than he should have. That's how good it felt. The smile on his peach muzzle returned, making an expression fitting only that of an incubus. Shadow laughed a little behind all the groans and moans. "Ngh, glad to see you're finally having fun, faker."
"Ahh..! Ah! Ahahaaa~" He laughed as well, never realizing how awesome this would feel. Well, Shadow knew one thing for sure. Throughout the series of Sonic's break ups, his sexual performance was obviously never the problem. "Don't stop, don't ever stop...Mmn.." He could feel himself drawing closer to his own orgasm, Shadow just needed to hit that special place. Once he did that, he'd show him something grand. "Harder," He panted. "Do it harder...Then I-Ahh!" He mewled. "I w-want you to...Shit.."
"Tell me what you want," The black hedgehog whispered back. "Please tell me, Sonic." Before he knew it, he was making a promise to him. "I'll give you whatever you want, anything you want." If he could, he'd give him the universe itself or more, if that's what he so desired. He'd do anything for him, anything that would put a smile on his face, or make him happy beyond imagination. That's why he didn't dare ease up the strength of his thrusts, because he loved every second of it.
"Nmm!" He gripped the fur on Shadow's chest, and made his movements even more erratic. At first, Shadow could barely keep up. He was riding the absolute hell out of it. "I want you to finish where ever you want," He took his hand off of his erection and put one of his fingers in his mouth to suck on. "I'm giving myself to you, so I want you to give yourself to me. Every drop of it." He sounded hungry, ravenous for more. He was greedy and persistent. He wanted it that badly? Fine, then.
Shadow sat up on the bed, keeping his hold on Sonic secure. His sudden movements made Sonic stop while whining for the absence of his thrusts. However, he was still inside of him. He then pulled him closer, and turned them both around. He pinned the blue hedgehog against the headboard, and placed both of his legs on his shoulders. His back was against the board, with his legs straight up. Shadow used one hand to hold one of his legs still, while using the other hand to lean his palm on the bed frame behind Sonic's head.
He instantly hurled himself into him, starting up his thrusting motions over again. Neither the speed or force faltering, only increasing. Shadow then leaned forward and pressed his mouth on Sonic's, feeling his soft lips lightly open with moans. Their tongues entangled with each other, grunting and huffing throughout the session. Suddenly, when Shadow thrusted into Sonic again with great momentum, he hit it. Sonic threw his head back and screamed. It was so unnatural to hear someone like him make such a noise, the dark one stopped immediately, fearful that he hurt his lover drastically.
"Sonic?" Shadow called his name desperately through pants. "Did I hurt you-"
"-I told you not to stop...Please don't stop, do that again, please..." He just kept rambling. That was actually kinda hot. Uttering nonsense under his breath about being pounded into. That was enough to turn his arousal to a dangerous direction. Well since he liked this so much, perhaps he needed another little push so he could be properly satisfied.
Shadow smirked to himself.
This was going to be a long night, and he didn't mind that at all.
Maybe, ten minutes or so, Sonic was now laying on the side of his face onto a pillow, gripping the fabric of it as he moaned loudly. His behind was upwards, while Shadow's pelvis repeatedly slapped against his ass. His member drove in and out of him, diving into the depths of his muscles. Sonic wanted him to go harder, so he did. Tenfold.
He wasn't sure which position he liked more. They've already tried like, three of them already. They just kept changing roles, finding new angles to pleasure each other. Currently, Shadow was trying to find the best position that would help obliterate him-
-Oh. Obliterate was a bit of a harsh word, wasn't it?
"Nmm, mmgh..." The Blue Hedgehog resorted to biting the pillow, his tail wagging and thumping against Shadow's stomach. He was enjoying this a lot more than he should have. His ears sometimes flattened at how rough Shadow was being, but he loved it either way. He pushed himself up against Shadow every time he made a thrust, just so he could keep up with his rhythm.
Suddenly, he was grabbed by the sides and flipped over, feeling Shadow leave his body once again. Now sitting up normally, the dark hedgehog placed Sonic in his lap. He was facing him, his arse pressing into his length. He entered him again with no hesitation, moving forward and back as Sonic automatically held onto his shoulders. As he pleasured his partner in the hot seat, Sonic held one hand up to his tan muzzle and pressed a chaste kiss on his mouth.
"I'm surprised.." Shadow tried to say at first, but trailed off with a groan thanks to Sonic bouncing up and down in between his legs. Even if the kid wasn't experienced, good lord was he good at learning. He was just good at everything he tried. Fighting, chaos control, sex, he could do it all. "I'm surprised you've held out for so long, I thought you would have-Ngh...Finished by now."
Sonic was going to retort to that, but the need to practically scream into his shoulder blade ruined that chance. He mewled after he gave his voice a rest, still panting for dear life. He rested his cheek against Shadow's shoulder, now holding onto his arms as he squirmed and squealed. "Even if I do," His cocky voice returned to counter the ultimate life form's words soon after. "I got stamina for days, and I'll be ready for round two." He smiled, but another thrust caused him to roll his eyes to the back of his head with a sound of exhaustion. But no, that was just another sound of intense pleasure. "Oh God..." He whispered while clenching his body tightly. It was just too good. "Haa..Ahh..! I-I'm-Fuck..!"
"Ah, speaking of which," Shadow leered. Looks like all that smack talk jinxed his situation. He was just about there, wasn't he? Good, time for another position. Shadow pulled out once more, and turned Sonic around so that his back was facing him while still in his lap. Shadow then laid downwards on his side, feeling the cool surface of the blankets hit his arm. He pressed his hand against the hero's abdomen so he could lie against him. Then, the elder male hedgehog looped his arms around him, trapping him in an embrace to spoon him. His dark red striped legs separated as Sonic's legs unconsciously spread. "This time I won't hold anything back." He warned quietly. Sonic didn't care, though.
"About time," He breathed.
Without anymore words to throw at each other, Shadow just made a toothy grin. He then shoved himself inside, and instantly heard a cry from the hedgehog in front of him. He drilled himself in constantly, rapidly hitting near a certain spot. Sonic was moaning louder than ever, meaning he was getting even closer. He could feel it, he could feel his climax rising to the brim. The bed rocked against the wall, leaving a mark into the paint as sheets slipped off of the mattress. Using all of his speed and power to destroy him, he grunted as he used even more energy to spread his own chaos abilities into the other's blue frame. Sonic's voice box nearly shriveled up from crying out and almost screaming so many times, so he could barely muster the ability to moan anymore. Shadow really wasn't holding back, he was going way too fast, even for him. He was being very rough at this point, but that made him love this joy-ride even more.
The chaos energy was warming his body, and he was very hot at this point. His erection was leaking more than ever, throbbing as it begged for release. His legs frantically rattled as he felt himself lose his God damn mind. He was going to cum, he couldn't stop it and it was rushing up to him so fast. It was overwhelming him, it was too much. If he let loose, he might even pass out. He tried to warn Shadow, but he was too invested in ravishing him to no end. "S-Shadow...!" He cried. "A-Ah...!" His voice failed him and choked up. Without warning, he then felt emptiness behind him, as Shadow moved again. Now falling onto his back with the ebony hedgehog's member still plummeting inside of him, he watched with wide lime green eyes as the other above him grabbed his legs and held them in the air. "S-Sha-AHH!" Holy shit, he hit it again this time. Once he did, he felt like the entire world collapsed and reformed itself.
Shadow didn't even stop, he kept slamming into it, over and over. Never ending, relentless hammering on his ass. He then leaned closer, painfully ripping his nails into his legs as he felt himself near his climax as well. He laid his forehead against Sonic's, before leaning even lower and going to a place Sonic didn't anticipate. It just happened so suddenly. First, kisses on his collar bone, then to his neck. And then, he felt a tongue, filled with chaos energy, slide up against the center of his throat.
Sonic hollered to the heavens above.
"Aahhh!" He threw his head back against the bed.
"..!" Shadow's eyes widened at the feeling of extreme clamping around his member. Just as Sonic came all over his torso, he couldn't control himself, he ended up releasing too. He was draining him, he couldn't stop doing it. He could feel himself fill him up. It was so much, that some of it even dripped out. He felt Sonic's legs lower and press themselves against Shadow's back to pull him even more into his body. He moaned, letting out everything he had developing inside of him all this week.
This, was way too much.
So much, that his vision was...
Do you love him?
"Yes..."
Will you protect him with your life?
"I'll protect him with every fiber of my being. With my very soul if I have to."
Will you continue to love him for the rest of your existence?
"...Yes."
Hahaha. Silly mortal. A promise you know very well you cannot keep.
"..."
If you agree to these terms, you will be tied to him forever, even if your love is a failure. Do you still accept him?
"Yes."
Ah, no hesitation there. Interesting. Very well, you shall be the ***********
Oh dear. Can you not hear me?
No matter...soon you wi...ee...el...
...
"...adow..? Shadow, are you okay?"
That was his voice.
It was at this moment, the most soothing thing he's ever heard before. He must have blanked out after that. He was still laying against Sonic's body, and he was still inside of him. He hoped he didn't black out for too long, he didn't want the hedgehog to feel like he was ignoring him. The younger was still out of breath, but his pants were a lot slower now. He smiled at the ultimate life form, and lightly laughed at his empty expression. He looked as if he just saw something strange.
"What's wrong? Did you see a ghost, or did you go to heaven?"
Shadow couldn't help but crack a grin. Sonic would never change his attitude in any situation. He felt him wrap his peach arms around his body, pulling him close to embrace him. Without a word, the dark hedgehog above him returned the hug, cuddling with him closely. "I, heard that voice again." He whispered. He never wanted to let him go. He wanted to stay in this position forever. He wanted to be inside of him for as long as possible. Not because of the pleasure, no, but because it gave him a very strange feeling of comfort. It felt, natural to be inside of him. It made him feel whole. He never wanted that feeling to go away. Though, he was sure Sonic wanted him to pull out now. "Do you, mind if I stay inside of you for just a while longer?"
The request caused even more heat to grow in Sonic's cheeks, if that were even possible. That was one hell of a favor to ask out of the blue. With a small laugh, the hero gave a squeeze at his body with his legs. "Actually," He trailed off while rubbing his hands down his arms. "I wanna go again."
...
Maybe his hearing was failing him. What was that again? "...Wha..?" The ultimate life form didn't even try to finish his sentence.
"I told you," Sonic lightly bit his own bottom lip. "I got stamina for days, Shads. Another round." He winked at him. "Right now."
"...I'm going to smother you."
He shrugged his shoulders. "Go for it. We've got all night."
Shadow found himself smiling again. "I love you."
The hero grinned in return. "Love you too."
It was unfortunately very easy to get back inside GUN HQ. It was no longer on lockdown, and that meant something bad happened.
Nothing changed on the inside. Well, except for the extra amount of corpses here. That's just great. Rouge almost puked three times, because she kept seeing another one of the few human allies she actually liked, dead and mutilated on the floor of GUN HQ. Knuckles tried to help her move fast and cover her eyes, but nothing would hide the stench or the images of their faces. Thankfully, Cream was still asleep, so she didn't have to see any of it. Vanilla looked just as disgusted, but she remained strong for her baby girl. Amy refused to acknowledge that death was even a factor anymore. She just kept herself in denial. Tails led the way, along with their new robot 'friend' whom he was riding on.
They walked in the private office of the GUN commander, and he was...
...Dead.
He shot himself in the head.
He was slumped against his desk with a pistol in his hand.
Rouge just growled and refused to look at his body anymore. A fucking coward. Of course he'd take the easy way out. Knuckles just shook his head and walked over to move his body. No one saw any able-bodied GUN soldiers when entering. They may have all died, or escaped onto the streets and fell victim to Scourge's mind control out there. Who knew? There was no longer any hope here. Knuckles dragged his body away out of the room, before stepping back in and shutting it closed. He then stood in front of the entrance, his arms over his chest as he made himself the guard of the door.
Tails, looking solemn at the fact the commander had the nerve to take himself out, moved to the center of the now trashed room. Papers were everywhere, some burned, as if he had something to hide before dying. Another gun was on the desk, but it was a different model. Blood stains decorated the room. He noticed, the room was clean when they left. Just before they returned, the commander may have killed someone in here in self defense. Tails tried ignoring this, and turned around to face the robot while everyone else took a place to settle down and rest.
The robot's head hissed, and small patches of air puffed out. A cyan light flashed, and it's head opened up like a lid, revealing the sleeping girl in it's body. It bent down, leaving it's opening in full view. Tails carefully reached and grabbed Fiona's body. He took her into his arms before setting her down on the floor and stepping around her. The robot closed itself back up, and their eyes lit up. They stared at her, and so did Tails. "So," The vulpine said in a moment of silence. "What do we do with-"
She coughed lightly, squeezing her eyes shut before fluttering them open. The young woman looked below at her feet, then her legs. She closed them, realizing what she was wearing. She then felt the need to cover her breasts as well, but she couldn't move her wrists. They were bound by riot foam. She groaned, now understanding her situation: she was captured. She looked up from her body and saw Tails and the blue robot in front of her. She would have scowled but, she didn't even have the strength to act like a bitch right now. She just looked back down and closed her ice-colored eyes. "What do you want?"
Tails couldn't even stop himself from twisting his face into the most abhorrent expression he could muster. "Please tell me you didn't just ask me that question." He seethed.
Fiona could feel his anger and opened one eye at him. "I'll be honest, that face is pretty scary. Especially for a brat like you. But I'm serious," She brought her knees to her chest. "What do you want-Ah!" She yelped at the sight of a canon-arm pointed right at her. Tails tapped his foot while placing his hands behind his back. The robot glared down at her, and she quickly felt the gravity of her situation. "O-Okay, okay! Just chill the fuck out!" She looked at the fox boy with shocked eyes. "Since when do you threaten people? H-Hey! Easy!" She quickly added when she saw the canon light up.
"And everything you say just ticks me off." Tails grumbled. This grabbed the attention of the rest of the group. Amy stood up away from their allies to walk over, listen and watch closely.
"Yeah, okay, the feeling's mutual, now get this damn thing away from me!"
"Not until you answer a few questions."
"Fine! Whatever, I'll tell you anything!"
"So you'll tell me everything about Scourge and what he's planning?"
"Yes!" She cried as she kicked herself into a wall to scoot away. She held up her wrists in front of her face to try and shield herself, but then she heard the sound of the charging canon die down. The robot stood in place, but was no longer powering up it's weapon. Fiona slumped against the wall while sighing. "I, honestly don't care about hiding anything. I'm," She hesitated. "Done fighting for Scourge. I'm done protecting him."
She seemed dejected, and far too tired to even try to be deceptive. He could tell she was telling the truth. Tails assumed she had a change in heart since he mind-controlled, and abandoned her here like everyone else. She probably woke the hell up from that long nap she called a fantasy. Scourge was no ideal lover, and after all these years she finally realized that. Too little too late, though. "Good." He said. "First question, why did Scourge show up here in the first place? Leave nothing out, tell me every single bit."
Fiona made a difficult expression, frowning as she watched him and his friends glare right into her. She scoffed and shifted against the wall. "Fine. But pay attention." She ordered. Amy's hammer was no longer here, as it despawned, but she was more than ready to take her on if necessary. Knuckles continued to pay attention, his purple eyes watching her lips move. Rouge did the same, her sensitive bat ears ready for new information. Vanilla was still very confused as to why any of this was happening, but she would try her best to listen and follow what their hostage would say. Fiona sarcastically cleared her throat, and looked immediately at Tails. "After Sonic beat Scourge a second time, he was arrested by Zone Cops. Of course, none of you have met them before, so I doubt you know what I'm talking about."
Amy glanced at Tails with a puzzled expression on her face. "Zone Cops?" Tails looked just as lost as she did.
Before Fiona could say something else, their robot friend cut her off. "Zone Cops, officially known as Zone Cops Corps or No Zone Corp, are police that patrol all the zones of the multiverse from the Perpendicular Zone, otherwise known as No Zone, to ensure that all the zones are in balance and that the aspects of one zone cannot greatly affect another. They are an interdimensional military service, with an army, an airforce and a navy, among other smaller portions of armed forces." It explained in great detail, leaving Fiona rather salty and speechless. "There are several familiar counterparts in this world. This includes, a No Zone version of Sonic prime, a No Zone version of Shadow prime, a No Zone version of Vector prime, Espio prime, Rouge prime, Knuckles prime, and Robotnik prime."
The vixen had enough of the robot upstaging her, so she cut in with her own two cents. "Like this hunk of junk says, there are other worlds with different counterparts of all of you. But in No Zone, a large military force led by another version of Sonic and Shadow are in charge of apprehending dangerous criminals that are too great of a threat to be handled by their own world's means, who may have tampered with other worlds. And as you all know, Scourge and I broke that law plenty of times. So as I was saying," She leaned back comfortably and crossed her legs. "Scourge was arrested by Zonic, No Zone's version of your Sonic prime. Like I said, Zonic's one of the leaders, so he's top dog. Soon after, I got myself arrested on purpose so I could bust him out. Once that happened, he already had another plan brewing in that big old brain of his."
Knuckles tapped his hand on his arm impatiently. "Which was?"
"To kill Sonic, obviously." She rolled her eyes. "But this time, he wanted to go about it a different way. So he took a lot longer to plan everything out, watching him and his friends quietly among the shadows to carefully piece together every move, and every phase." She smirked at the sight of Amy's creeped out face. "Finally, he figured out exactly what he was going to do. First, go to a place called 'the shrines'. Now I don't know anything about these places. Scourge didn't even let me go with him. Said outsiders weren't allowed, or something cryptic like that."
Tails looked up at the blue droid and nudged it. "Wanna define what that is?" He asked.
"Speculating..." It idled casually. "Vital information attained. The shrines, are a sacred ground similar to Angel Island." This made Knuckles flinch and blink his eyes. "These shrines are only available to a certain race, otherwise known as Chaos Born. Chaos Born are consisted of rare and gifted individuals with the ability to use large amounts of chaotic power. In Mobius prime, this includes Sonic prime and Shadow prime, although Shadow prime is not recognized as a Chaos Born since his biology was created unnaturally. Sonic prime however, is, which goes for the anti-Sonic as well in anti-Mobius." The robot paused as small sounds of vibrations surged through it's body. "These shrines hold great power, a gateway to where chaos energy originates."
"What?" Knuckles nearly gasped. "But, I thought chaos was born on my island?"
The robot debunked the echidna's beliefs, which in turn shocked everyone else, including Fiona. "This is incorrect." It stated. "While Angel Island is home to the Master Emerald, the Echidna Clan were not the original guardians of said artifact. All emeralds belong to the Chaos Born. Thousands of years ago, Chaos Born and the Echidna Clan made an agreement to keep their emeralds safe on their floating island, instead of keeping it themselves. For the emeralds' power were too strong to keep together on their territory. They were then forced to harness the great power left by the emeralds in what you all refer to now as 'the shrines.'"
In disbelief, Knuckles just stood there agape. As were Amy and Tails. They couldn't believe this, as they previously thought that was the truth for so many years.
The blue Omega model continued. "Their territory was already extremely powerful with chaos energy constantly surging through their grounds. The power was so great, it caused genetic mutation and became a great physical and mental health hazard. The emeralds made this worse, so they needed a solution to get rid of them, but have them secured in a place where they knew for sure they would be safe. Unfortunately, the Chaos Born were all wiped out by an unknown force, presumably by their own power. In modern time, the shrines are only available to surviving Chaos Born on their birth date on the very island they were born in. However, this year was special, as the shrines held power for Chaos Born to take for their nineteenth birthday."
Fiona snapped her finger and pointed with her index finger. "Ah! There we go, now I know what he's talking about." She took over the conversation. "That's why Scourge waited to take his plan into action, so he could achieve some kind of power from this place. He got three. Immortality, power stealing and a boost for his super form. If his calculations were correct, your Sonic went to his shrine too, and only got one."
Tails' eyes went wide. "That's why he left for vacation. His birthday was..." He didn't finish his sentence, as he finally figured out just exactly what was going on here. Everyone in the room besides Fiona was alarmed as well, now knowing why their hero disappeared to go on vacation so suddenly this summer.
"Mmmhm." She nodded. "Scourge predicted this, so he followed Sonic, and kidnapped him. Then, he stole a super form from him, a real nasty one too." He saw another wave of shock hit their faces. She laughed at them. "What, didn't know your hero had a dark side? Well he's got two of them, as a of matter of fact. Four in all, with the other two being 'pure', and I use that word loosely. Anyway, the form Scourge stole was basically some kind of demonic entity that's powerful enough to manipulate the minds of others. That's why he was able to do, well, all of this." She referred to the horror outside of the HQ. "Eventually, he got obsessed with Sonic and found me useless, so he mind controlled me too. He then planned to have me and his followers come here, and take over while he warped to No Zone to deal with Sonic himself."
Amy used both of her hands to scratch her head. This was a little too much information. "W-Wait, why'd he and Shadow go to No Zone at all?"
"Because we weren't in our home world, we were there recently. And they figured they could get some help from the universe's best military force to stop us. They're still there, if I'm not mistaken." She informed. "But Scourge went back to end it all in a full scale war, while we destroy this place and kill all of you. Should be happening in just about a few hours from now." She leered with a crooked smile. Tails snarled and took a step closer, which didn't stir Fiona in the least bit. She just stared at the boy with uncaring eyes.
"Why!? Do you have any idea what you've done? How many people you've killed for your sick game?" He hollered at her. His arms were rattling, and his fists were balled up and tightened like stone wrecking balls. He wanted to hit her, sweet Chaos he wanted to hit her. He wanted to nail her right in her jaw, but he couldn't do that. He couldn't stoop to her level. He slowly calmed himself down, with Amy whispering comforting things to him while patting his shoulder. He sighed deeply, and continued to give a cold stare at the female fox below him. "My next question, what's your motive?" He asked quietly.
"Motive?" She repeated while cocking her head to the side. "Why we're doing all this? Well, at first I thought Scourge just wanted to make Sonic's life a living hell. But," She grimaced and looked down below at her lap. "The reason was far worse than I ever imagined." She lifted her head back up to face Tails. "Look, you gotta understand, Scourge isn't the bad guy here."
Rouge cut in this time, all the way from the corner of the room while holding up a finger. "Now excuse me honey," She began to say in a harsh tone. "But I thought a prick who committed mass genocide all over the world, deserved the title of villain." She narrowed her eyes at her. "Unless my definition is wrong, please explain how your lover boy is actually a good guy."
Amy agreed. "Yeah, no way someone who willingly kills people left and right is a good guy. Do you think we're stupid?"
"Honestly, yes." Fiona retorted with an angry expression. "Of course you idiots wouldn't understand. The real bad guy here isn't Scourge, it's your hero!" She yelled, shaking her wrists against her binds. "Once the war is over, it doesn't matter who wins. If Sonic is still alive after whatever outcome of the war, Scourge made a back up plan to end it once and for all. His plan doesn't just ends when he kills Sonic."
Tails really didn't like the sound of that. "What do you mean it doesn't end there? Isn't that what he wants? Isn't that what he's been fighting him for? To kill him and rule over our world?"
"No." Fiona answered quickly. "That was never the case." She said with an eerily quiet tone. "The enemy, is anyone who's a Chaos Born." She confessed, striking everyone's attention. Now that they've been given an explanation as to what and who a Chaos Born was, they realized that Sonic isn't the only target Scourge is after. That's when the Omega model chimed in to give a little more info.
"Chaos Born originally worshipped four deities, who were believed to have given birth to them. Even now, their creation of the shrines are responsible for spawning more Chaos Born into the world. There is an unproven theory that the very Gods they worshipped were responsible for wiping them all out." It elaborated with the faint sound of beeps and...more static? Okay, Tails definitely heard it this time. There was static coming from it again.
Fiona took the torch and continued from there. "Yeah. Those are the real assholes. Those things they called 'Gods'. Well those Gods, are those super forms your friends like to use so much."
That truth, that reality...Was this what Scourge was talking about?
"The society that you all live in, is something I like to call, a 'bubble'."
"A fragile, weak bubble that should be able to pop easily. That's how the world is. Nothing can flee from an inevitable fate. But thanks to your hero, you think nothing can hurt you."
"No matter how well protected you think you are, that isn't the truth. But you all believe in his words, and trust in his actions because you hide behind his back. 'Oh he'll save us all! He's the hero of Mobius, we'll be okay! We won't ever have to worry about anything, ever.' That way of thinking, is so idiotic and gutless..."
"You think something like that actually exists? You really believe in a truth that weak!?"
"Your hero isn't here to save you this time. And even when he comes back, it'll be too late. Your world'll be doomed by then. Even if he ends up beating me, it won't matter. He won't save all of you. He won't rescue every single one of you. He won't make a miracle happen this time. You've enjoyed the brunch of mercy for far too long, and it's time for a new dish. You all need a taste of what it's like to live in a barren world of hate, and death. Then when everything is said and done, we'll see just how selfish you all are then. I guarantee, you'll never take your lives for granted again."
Something hit Tails in the head. Not a literal thing, more metaphorically so. Because the impact of the revelation Fiona was trying to explain, finally found it's way in his brain. His baby blue eyes became small, and his mouth was left hung open. No, that was the truth? This was the truth Scourge was trying to tell everyone all along? This was the thing he was trying to accomplish? He found himself backing up into the robot, nearly falling over his own feet. When he was hypnotized, he saw something horrific, but he couldn't even remember. The answer was there. He just had to think, he had to think! It wasn't even that long ago. He had to remember, he had to remember...Remember...
He remembered...
Red...Yes, the color red. Scarlet. And there was gold, a dark blue and another color that constantly kept changing.
He, saw people. Yes, he saw several people. Among those people were four in particular, who seemed more important than anything else. The world was...Oh Chaos, it was destroyed. It was on fire, in shambles with wrecked buildings and civilizations. The people, were all one kind of species, which didn't seem right. The world of Mobius was extremely diverse of all kinds of races, so why did he only see one kind? Those four special people, they looked like hedgehogs. Hedgehogs? They almost looked like Sonic. Or almost like Shadow, or Scourge. They were all on some kind of island, some kind of weird place with weird power. There were too many of them. Too many to count!
That's, all he could recall. But what was that all about exactly? If his initial conclusion was correct-
...
Oh God.
Fiona couldn't even smile at the face of someone who finally could understand. "Looks like boy-genius over here finally understands." The real truth was no happy or laughing matter. Facing reality, was detrimental in itself. Knuckles was still put off by all this, and Amy was more concerned than confused overall. Rouge remained indifferent towards the vixen, but all of this information was surely suspicious. Amy gently tapped Tails a few times.
"Tails? What's up?"
"Anti-Omega," Tails murmured to the robot, ignoring Amy's question of worry. "Are those deities the Chaos Born worshipped, super forms of Sonic's?"
"This is correct."
"And," He inhaled slowly. "Are they active right now?"
"This is also correct."
"Fiona," He said her name carefully, almost pleadingly to the vixen. "Are those super forms, all bad?"
The female fox nodded her head with an adamant expression. "That's what Scourge found out. That's why he wanted to kill Sonic, because they're inside of him. But," With sorrow lacing her voice, she looked away. "He planned on killing himself too, to get rid of his own."
Amy demanded for her to stop talking. "Wait, wait, wait and wait," She repeated while holding up her hands, signaling everyone to cease. "You're saying, that those cool, pretty looking super forms he uses, are actually evil? The very things that saved our lives hundreds of times over?"
Knuckles added something in. "Yeah, and deities? Four of them? I've only ever seen three forms, and one of them I just found out about." He put a fist under his chin. "Though, that one was definitely bad, but not the other ones. They were good without a doubt." He then shook his head. "But Godly? No offense to Sonic, but none of them seem God-like to me, despite how powerful they are."
Suddenly, Rouge made a interesting comment. "I dunno...There are a lot of things we still don't understand about your hero."
The pink hedgehog snapped her head at her with a scowl. "Seriously? You're siding with her? This is just some huge fake conspiracy theory!"
"I know," Rouge rose a brow while leaning against the wall. "But I love me some gossip, especially if it's a conspiracy. And I don't know if I would use the word fake, yet." She then looked directly at Fiona. "Let's not forget, ever since the Eclipse Cannon incident, which in turn made GUN falsely arrest Big Blue, they've been looking into his files for a loooong time. And guess what they found?" She held up her hands hopelessly. "Nothing, nadda, zilch. All we found out, was some dirt about his love life, nothing juicy." She rose a brow and gave them all a questionable look. "We don't know his full name, his full identity, his hometown, relatives, nothing. Red over there admitted he just found out about a third form that none of us have seen before. I hate to say it," The bat said. "But that boy's got more secrets than Mr. Sunshine, and that's saying something."
"In any case," The red haired fox interrupted rudely. "She's right. You all don't know him like you think you do. He's the villain for hiding all of those bastards in his body. He's the bad guy! Those, things, are going to corrupt and conquer all of you until there's nothing left. Scourge is trying to save you!"
Knuckles growled at this. "By having our people kill each other!? Yeah right, don't screw with me!"
"Heh," Fiona smiled a little. "What can I say? Scourge plans good intentions through horrible deeds." She continued to mess with her binds, moving her wrists against the riot foam. "I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea why he thought killing a bunch of you would help our cause. Not like I could ask, I was a mind slave." She admitted, letting everyone know that not even she knew Scourge's true intentions in the end.
Meanwhile, Tails was putting together the puzzle.
If all of this was true, than this meant that Scourge's rant from before wasn't what they thought. Scourge wasn't angry because they were so dependent on Sonic, he was angry because they believed Sonic was a perfect hero, a good person. He was angry because no one realized the person who they loved so much, was the eventual cause of something terrible. When Tails was hypnotized, he remembered he said to his friends, 'you have to face reality'. If these deities were just as bad as Fiona says, then it wouldn't be a surprise if they were trying to trick everyone, including Sonic, to make them think they were good beings. This was the reality Scourge was talking about. This is the truth he wanted everyone to see. The world wasn't flawless and untouchable thanks to Sonic's efforts, it was a safe place because the deities wanted everyone to think that way. And they wanted Sonic, their hero and their puppet, to keep it that way.
And actually, when Scourge said You've enjoyed the brunch of mercy for far too long...You all need a taste of what it's like to live in a barren world of hate, and death. Then when everything is said and done, we'll see just how selfish you all are then. I guarantee, you'll never take your lives for granted again, was he really referring to the people of Mobius? A world of hate and death, that's what he saw while being hypnotized. Was he trying to hint at something? To hint to, perhaps an inevitable future? An eventual downfall?
Tails found the answer.
"Scourge wasn't trying to destroy our world because we're all ungrateful and ignorant," The preteen whispered. "He's trying to end us all, because it's a better fate than what those deities have in store for us." He then stared straight at Fiona, who winced at his now dark and untrusting expression. "He's not trying to save us from them. He's trying to end it before they can use us for whatever they're planning."
This revelation didn't even earn him a gasp. Everyone was too speechless to respond or comment to that. If everything the robot and Fiona were saying was true, then those super forms were the cause of all of this misery. If it is indeed true that they were the cause of killing off the rest of Sonic's ancestors, would it really be farfetched to think that they would want to try and take over the world with their power to start over with a new reign? And who knows what other terrible things they did.
...
"Hahaha." Tails scratched behind his head. "No, Amy's right. This is a bit much, even for us." He made a small smile and looked down at Fiona. "Sorry, I don't believe you, alright?" He said nicely, making Amy smile along with him. That tone was fake, and so was that smile. Fiona could tell he was hiding his true thoughts, and she understood why. She wouldn't make a big deal out of this, she knew the kid was smart enough to realize what was actually happening.
"Whatever." She mumbled. She had a feeling Scourge's plan wouldn't fail completely if Tails could somehow confront that damn hedgehog about this, if he could beat Scourge that is.
"One more question, and then we'll work on taking the network back." He stated loudly so everyone could hear. "Any weaknesses we should know about? I mean, you said he was immortal but, that seems a little overpowered. There's always a catch in your world."
Fiona could see the troublesome look in his eyes. She hated both him and Sonic so much, but God did she pity them. They were all going to perish in the worst way possible and the only one who fully comprehended the weight of this was a little kid. His eyes looked terrified and betrayed, knowing that his best friend was a host for evil that would soon consume them all. Poor child, he shouldn't have gotten roped up into this.
The vixen closed her eyes and sighed. "Yeah, there is one thing..."
END - 25
The dictionary says who the villain is.
Remember that.
