Chapter 10: New Reign







Sonic took up the sword.

"The empire," he said. "Will be mine. I won't let Elexis come back. I sent her to her tomb, I won't pull her out."

"You can't do that, you idiot." Said Robotnik. "What makes you think I'd let you, anyway?"

"This." Sonic said, pointing the sword at him.

"The same threat to all of you. I'm going to take this God-forsaken place and turn it into something grand and new!" Sonic was confident. As long as the sword was in his grasp, no one would disobey his command.

Robotnik knew now that the fate of the world was damned. Ever since his resurrection, Sonic had become a power-hungry one. He was angry toward the one who took him from his previous existence. He wanted to change things. He would doom the vampires to serve the humans. He would allow the humans to continue their gradual destruction of the world. Thus, the world decayed.



500 years later.

Sonic had gained his power by threatening all with the blade. He saw his share of rebellions, and killed them. Vampires served the humans. Doing all the humans' dirty work. Of course, Sonic and the others were still weak. They had never had their training. They still fed upon blood. Sonic had put his brethren to work as well, even Tails. Their duties were simple, get blood. This was not human blood, it was that of other vampires. And he drank it. All vampires had to do this if they wanted to live. Except those who consumed souls, they consumed the souls of other vampires.

The world was dead.

Shadow, Rouge, Knuckles, Robotnik, and Tails were sick of this. But there was not much they could do. They tried to lead an army of rebels against Sonic, but they were all too afraid of the blade. To think that one blade could do so much. One soul, actually.

Knuckles approached Sonic one day.

"Sir, the vampiric population is dwindling. It won't be long before you wipe vampires off the face of the earth."

"Such is my goal." Said Sonic.

"WHAT?!"

"Heheh. You act surprised, Knucklehead."

"Stop this act of genocide! You drink the blood of you own species and leave the corpses out to dry!"

Sonic pointed the blade at him "And if I don't?"

Knuckles could say nor do anything. He simply walked away.

Knuckles was right, though. A mere twenty vampires remind of the millions that once were. Vampires killing vampires, humans killing vampires. They were soon gone as well.

Rouge, Knuckles, Shadow, Tails, Robotnik, and Sonic were the last of the vampiric population. Elexis.

"And now…..for the five of you…" Said Sonic, with his blade.

"You're only powerful because of Elexis!" Said Shadow.

"That's right! You take Elexis from us, then use HER soul to damn the world!" Yelled Rouge.

"How DARE you stand against ME!" Retorted Sonic. "Once you are gone, I have the humans to serve me! Much more use than you."

"You're a vampire, too, you idiot!" Said Tails. "Why don't you kill yourself!?"

"Because this world needs only ONE powerful being to run it. And I will be the one to do it."

"DAMN YOU!" Yelled Robotnik. He attacked Sonic, using his claw like nails to draw blood. Sonic impaled Robotnik on the sword. He slowly sipped up the blood from the sword as he slid Robotnik's corpse to the floor. He was dead. His young, untrained flesh was fragile.

"How could you!" Yelled Tails.

"You want to challenge me too?"

"We were friends! Don't you remember? Please Sonic!"

"I remember no such thing with a scoundrel like you. Be gone!" With that, he swung the sword, letting out an incredible burst of energy. It sliced Tails, Shadow, and Knuckles in half. Their vampiric corpses dropped to the floor. Again, he sipped at their blood.

"Alas, Rouge." Sonic said.

"You monster. GO BACK TO HELL!" She yelled.

She was not such easy prey. Sonic swung the sword again. But Rouge, expecting the energy, quickly dodged it. Rouge attacked. Sonic tried to hit her with the sword, unsuccessfully. He hit the stone on the side of the room. It cracked. Not the sword, the wall. She found being a vampire an advantage over being a bat. She was quicker. Stronger as well. She managed to draw some blood on Sonic's face and chest before he decapitated her. Her head rolled on the floor.

"Fool." He said, feeding upon the blood stained floor. He let out a few huffs. Rouge had been a challenge.

Sonic would not give his brethren honorable burials. After taking their blood, putting some of it in jars, he tossed the lifeless, empty corpses out the window. He went to the main room and stood about ten feet from the alter. After licking it clean of the precious blood, he walked up to it and placed it in its rightful place. He no longer needed it. His goal was fulfilled. He turned to walk way, but stopped about ten feet from the alter. He turned toward the alter.

As he stood, each light in the room flickered until no light came through.

Darkness.

The same event occurred throughout the entire Temple. Lightening flashed outside.

Within the brief light that it brought, they saw a figure. It was female. Standing only ten feet away.

The next instant it flashed beheld the figure lifting the sword high. Wings. Black wings. They did not appear to have their previous glory. They still seemed capable of flight, but barely. One light once again gave out its light. Then another. Soon the whole room was filled with light again. Lightening still flashed outside. But there stood Elexis. So many changes had come her way. Her skin was pure white. Her hair, too, was white, but a bit of gray accompanied it. It was long now. About down to the upper portion of her back. Her eyes shown the same bright, glowing texture as they did before. Her pants were black, but her boots were gold. They ran up most of her lower leg. A red cloth hung off her waist, decorated with black. The cloth was attached to a gold buckle on her pants. On the other side on her pants, the cloth split into two parts and went either up or down at an angle. She wore a black tank top with a mysterious red symbol on it, and it revealed her mid section. She was quite muscular there as well as her arms. Her lips were black and dark black encircled her eyes.

The blade.

The blade was now black. The hilt was gold.

A fierce look in her eyes.

Pure rage.
