Dark's p.o.v.
The breeze on my face feels so wonderful. I still can't believe that the five of them wanted to keep me indoors. I mean, it's not like they know what was going to happen. Right? Flying through the sky, I saw the small world down below. Right now, I was just flying through the forest looking for any signs of life. None so far. I kept going until I came up to a city in the distance. I landed on the ground a little ways away and changed to look like Sonic.
I ran into the city and stopped to look at all my choices. 'If only that Egghead would show himself so it would seem as normal as possible.' My wish was granted when the ground shook and a giant robot landed a few feet away from me. The cockpit opened to reveal the fat doctor himself.
"Fancy seeing you here Sonic. How about we finish this here and now?" he stroked his mustache. I smirked and rubbed my finger under my nose.
"And I would win, like usual."
The cockpit closed and I got into a fighting stance waiting for him to make the first strike. The left arm of the robot smashed onto the spot that I was in and I raced around looking for the robots weak spot. As soon as I got behind the invention the right arm swung around and knocked me into a building.
"Give up Sonic?" the doctor said as his ride trudged over to where I was standing up.
"Not yet." I mumbled running around the robot again. 'Come on give me something to go off of.'
I raced around the thing multiple times waiting for him to strike another building. He kept bashing his arms into the ground that I was standing in. He wasn't even focusing on his soundings but mostly me. 'Alright that's it!'
I changed direction and raced up a building making him punch it and debris falling to the ground. I heard screams over all the chaos and looked at the trouble that was being caused. I smirked and ran around, spin dashing into any big pieces, smashing them into small rocks and bits.
After that was done, I turned my attention back to the robot. I ran up to the robot and spin dashed right through the center, causing it to stop. Eggman ejected in his pod and flew away to his base saying that he will be back.
I took a look around at the destruction and saw some people and mobians helping each other out of the debris. 'Now to collect my reward.' I saw a red cat dusting herself off and I went over to greet her.
"Hey, are you alright?" She looked up at me surprised and then smiled at me
"I am thanks to you."
"Just a hero doing his job." I put my hands on my hips, smiling at her
"Do you ever get rewards from doing this all the time?" she asked coming up to me
"Not really, why?"
"Why don't I invite you to my house and give you a proper thank you?" she put her hand on my shoulder and I smirked.
"Why not?" I followed her back to her house and was already greeted with negative emotions still lingering in the air. 'Something bad must have happened. Perfect target.'
I sat down on her coach and looked around the room while she went to the kitchen to get a drink for me. My eyes fell on a picture frame with her and a grey wolf hugging each other lovingly. I got up and went over to the frame taking it into my hands.
"That was my husband." She said coming up to me with a drink in hand
"Is he going to come home any time soon?" I asked putting the frame down
"No. He died a month ago." She sat down on the coach putting the drink beside her
"I'm sorry for your lose." I used the saddest voice I could muster
"I've already moved on and accepted him leaving me." I sat down beside her and gave her a sad smile then turned my attention back to the frame.
"Moving on is always good and who knows. Maybe you will see him sooner than you think." She looked at me confused
"What do you..." she never got to finish her sentence as I changed back to normal, startling her up off the coach. She backed into a wall with me coming up to her slowly. Fear was in her eyes and the emotion gave me more power. I summoned a knife in my hand and stared into her fear-wrapped eyes.
"Good night." I drove the knife down in her heart in one swift movement. All her fear and anger was released at once and I closed my eyes, enjoying every second of it. I looked around the room and with one flick of a my wrist, the body disappeared and all traces of evidence also disappeared.
I walked over to the door but stopped as I looked at the picture frame again. I put it face down as I continued my way over to the door. I opened it and looked to my right seeing Nazo, Fleetway, Scourge, Mephiles and Exe all looking at me with shock on their faces.
"Hmph." I slammed the door closed with my foot and walked towards the forest with them on my tail.
Mephiles p.o.v.
What the heck was that? We only wanted to know where Dark went and when we heard a boom come from the city, we had to investigate. We saw Dark, looking like Sonic, fighting Eggman. It looked like he wasn't really fighting but just taunting him instead. We followed him and a red feline to her home and he killed her. Now we're trying to get him to stop so we could at least ask some questions.
"Dark, stop!" Nazo cried out as he still won't stop "Dark, don't make me have to punish you." he turned on his heels, but instead of his angry face, Sonic was the one who was angry. He gave a chuckle and put his hands on his hips.
"What makes you think that you can punish me?"
"Because I can." Sonic stuck up one finger and waved it in front of his face
"Calling me a bad boy when I've only done the simplest thing of letting that cat join her husband again. I'm ashamed that you would swoop down so low when we both got what we wanted." Nazo swatted his hand away and they stood so their noses were almost touching.
"Stop trying to be a smart ass and tell me what you did back there."
"Oh that little charaid, Just collecting negative emotions that's all." he shifted on his feet "I was just doing you a favor."
"What do you mean by 'favor'?" Exe asked
"If I stayed at that godforsaken place any longer then I would have no choice but to steal from you." he turned around and walked over to a tree, leaning against it "And before you ask anymore questions, think about how you have been getting a little more temperamental each day that I haven't been collecting the negative emotions." I looked at them and they looked just as confused as I did
"What are you talking about?" I spoke up getting him to sigh
"I didn't want to have to do this." he shook his head and changed back to normal. His aura flared up making us land on the ground. He walked over to Scourge with a knife in hand.
"W-What! Can't we talk about this first?!" Scourge tried backing away but couldn't go far thanks to a tree blocking his way. Dark raised the knife and Scourge closed his eyes waiting for it to hit it's mark. I saw little black wisps come off of Scourge and went into him. Dark made the knife disappear and grabbed one of the wisps before it could go into him.
"Open your eyes Scourge. There's no need to be scared." he cracked open one eye and jumped to his feet, dusting himself off.
"I wasn't scared, you just startled me. That's all." he put his hands on his hips and turned away. Dark chuckled and turned to the rest of us.
"This is what I wanted to show you before." he held up the black wisp that looked more like a piece of string.
"What is that?" Fleetway asked walking up to him
"This is negative emotions. You can see this because I'm letting you see it." he let go and it went into him. "Come with me." we looked at each other before following him. He lead us to the edge of the forest where the city was in the distance.
"Look at that. The city is said to be a happy place, all I see is a disappointment." we looked at the city but saw nothing.
"Dark, what are we supposed to be seeing?" I asked. He looked at us then back at the city folding his arms.
"Look closer." I looked at it again and my eyes widened when I saw a black aura surrounding the city. "Now you get it. That is what I feed off of and the more negative emotions there are, the more I can collect." I looked at everyone else and I could see the surprise on their faces. 'So they see it to.'
"Wait, if you collect negative emotions, then is there someone who collects positive emotions?" Scourge asked making Dark growl
"Light." he growled
"Who?"
"My opposite. He thinks he's so much better than me, I beg to differ."
"If you have an opposite, then why don't we see him?" Fleetway asked and Dark chuckled
"He's stuck in limbo, a place stuck in time. While he's there, I can run free and with Sonic stuck in his own mind, I have no one to stop me." he walked away and we followed
"So that's why you wanted to get out so badly before. You didn't want to steal from us." Exe stated and he nodded
"You could have just said that Dark. Or we wouldn't have to go through with all of this." Nazo said and he sighed
"Its harder to explain then you actually think."
"What is your goal anyway?" I asked and he stopped walking, not looking at us
"I need those so called 'heroes' dead." we looked at each other
"If you haven't noticed, we've been trying to kill them for years now and that isn't working." Scourge said and he turned around
"Ah but that's where you failed. Sonic has always been able to stop you but I am him."
"What are saying?" Fleetway asked and Dark changed back to look like Sonic and gave an evil smirk.
"Here's the plan..."
