Disclaimer: I own nothing in this blasted story, alright people!? Jeeze how many times must I explain this just go back for the blasted disclaimers Sonic ain't my idea nor do I make any profit or any other crap GOT IT!?
Good.
Last time we left off.. well... let's just say it was defying basic TVshow nature. The heroes Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge are now.. well, enjoying isn't exactly the right word, they are prisoners now in the cell deep in the depths of Armageddon. The mysterious Viper-armored wolf seems to be invinceable to any attack while in that battlesuit. Tails and Christin are back at Knothole to get help. And the fellow Mobians could see a gigantic red cloud moving above the seas, casting its dark shadow upon all living things below as a dreadful sign of the end.
Episode Three
Negalith Aosis
Tails, who was currently in his Tornado2 walker, and Christin, who was repairing a cut or so, slowly talked as they walked deeper into the woods. The battle had been completely humiliating. First, Knuckles and Rougue were captured. Then Amy Rose was subdued. And finally the huge metallic kobra captured Sonic t. Hedgehog. And now, here were the two survivors, walking through the Forbidden Forest no one else dared to enter. According to recent rumor, the spirit of a cloaked figure, along with an eerie man often seen speaking to a crystal staff, roamed the woodlands. Other wild stories were that they were more of those CHaos followers. A few even believed that the both could be Christopher Aosis himself! But, then again, there was also a wild rumor about a man-eating potato a few years back that was plotting world domination, along with giant carrots and demon-possessed celery. Needless to say, that wasn't a popular rumor, and quickly died out.
The forest itself was much like any regular forest. Well, as long as you overlooked the fact that the trees were twisted into eerie figures, and half of which were dead. A thin mist covered the forest, and branches and leaves created a roof above, allowing only small patches of light into the brown grass and ash-colored dirt of the area. The only pure thing about it were the small streams that appeared occasionally. Not even small animals were seen in the woods often, only their half-rotten corpses.
Tails stopped suddenly. "Christine, where are we?" asked the two-tailed fox, looking around. The other fox's eyes turned slightly green as she scanned the area and looked around for Knothole. After a while, she sighed. "I don't know, the readings don't make any sense..."
"That's because they're not supposed to."
"That wasn't a very funny, Miles." said the android. Tails shook his head.
"I didn't say anything." he said.
"I just heard you! You made a stupid joke!"
"No I didn't! It was someone else!"
"I wonder how long it took you to figure THAT one out, hm?" asked a deep, solemn voice.
"Who are you?!" Christine asked, her fists starting to emit a slight green glow.
"I am who I am." said the voice in a mock tone which only angered the female fox. She shot into the woods blindly for a minute, before plopping down to her knees, exhausted.
"Nice work, you managed to shoot a few trees, not to mention my brother. What do you mean to accomplish by shooting at me, you twit? It's not like you could do any damage."
"...."
A young man stepped out of the shadows and into a patch of light. His face was frozen in a solemn, emotionless frown, and his eyes were as cold and forbidding as the forest around him was. His hair was as black as shadow, and was fixed into a ponytail in the back. Behind him was an almost-black green cape, which attached to his black sorceror-style robes. In his right hand he held a staff made of pure green crystal. There was a cinge-mark on it from a laser of some sort, but other than that, it was unharmed despite it's mellinium-old age. He walked up to the two foxes.
"Do you know how hard it is to get those blasted singes and stains out of this thing?" asked the man, looking at Christine irritably. She slowly shook her head. Although she was an android, she was made with human emotions, one of which was fear. And if you're as small as the Sonic gang, and come face-to-face with a six-foot-tall sorceror such as this one, it's rather hard not to fear him. "Speechless, I see. Well, I mean you no harm, children. For now."
"Wh-Who are you?" asked Tails, regaining his voice, which was still almost a bit squeaky. The sorceror looked at the fox and sighed.
"I had cruel parents, boy, so if you laugh at my name I shall send you to join my brother. Are we clear on that?" Tails nodded. "Good. My name is Negalith, and I have been cursed with the family name Aosis.." He scowled as the words lefth is mouth. The two foxes' eyes widened.
"You mean y-You're Aosis' son!?" asked Christine. The sorceror snarled.
"Please, don't make me sick. It's bad enough having him for a brother. Having a rival such as him is a disgrace."
"Rival?"
"What, sibling rivalry you twit! We're always fighting for power. He draws his powers from the Chaos Eclipse, I draw mine from the Blue Moon. Light and dark, weak and strong. You get the picture." explained the sorceror. "You imbociles wouldn't have stood a chance against my brother had I not helped you."
"You helped us against your own brother!?" asked Christine, shocked.
"Please, why does that surprise you?" asked Negalith.
"Well... because he's your blood! Your kin! And you are that obsessed with stopping hi--"
"Obsessed? Child, you should have seen the last time I had an empire. I gave you the choice of whether or not you wanted my help or not."
"I never had any say in it." Tails said.
"That is because I only asked the hedgehog, you see, I felt that there was no way you could stop him in his new Empire. Let me show you.."
He waved his staff and the forest lit up in green and in a flash of light, the three's minds were filled with images of the past, back at the Chaos Void.
***Flashback, duh***
Time: Months ago
Place: Chaos Void, Endless Highway
((refer to Mobius Chronicles: Christopher Aosis for details.))
"No!!" Sonic shouted angrily. "They're all gone!!" Amy disappeared, allowing Sonic to go faster than he intended, as he dashed past the sound barrier, causing sonic booms to go off. The sonic boom shattered all the path around him for as far as he could see, and he felt the impact of a thousand tons hit him from behind, obviously the invisable force Aosis used to shatter the path behind him. He fell, down, into the eternal blackness of the Void.... before everything around him faded and he somehow softly landed on invisable land. His mind flooded for a minute before a spotlight appeared around him. After adjusting to the light, he saw a shadow coming out of the blackess that consumed the area around the spotlight. It formed into the shape of a hedgehog, before coloring up to look just like Sonic and saying, "Looks like you blew it, bonehead."
"It wasn't my fault!" Sonic protested. The copy started slowly walking around Sonic, tsking, before stopping in front of his face.
"That's what they all say. You know you let them down. Your friends, everyone, gone, all because of you." it said. Sonic shook his head violently. "It wasn't me!!"
"No, no, you see, if you hadn't have done that foolish thing about picking up Amy and carrying her, you would have made it eventually. Why did you foul things up for that pink brat, anyway? Isn't Sally your girlfriend?"
"No... Well, yes.. no, not really... I had to help her--"
"Pch, honestly, to think you could be ME." the copy sighed. "You know it was all your fault! If you hadn't done that fool thing--"
"What was I supposed to do!? Either way, Amy was going to be crystallized, wasn' she!?" Sonic shouted. He paused, then continued at his copy's silence. "WASN'T SHE!!?"
"Yes. But you would have made it to save her. I will give you one more chance." The fake sonic turned into a shadow before forming a dark, cloacked image. "I enjoyed teasing you there. But I am really here to help. You can go back to Mobius, back to Sally. I will erase everyone up there of there memory about Chaos and the Void. Or, you can continue on, at the risk of faliure."
"If I go back, Chris won't be stopped, and my friends will be lost forever!" Sonic said. "And if I stay here, I'm dead! What choice is that!?"
"Fine, I will give you two paths." said the sorceror. "But you only have a minute or so to decide, the Effect is taking you over slowly." He pointed at Sonic's sneakers, which were crystal-tipped already from the Void. "I can send you back. Erase memory of all this dreadful happening." He held his hand up to interupt Sonic's protests before continuing. "All of your friends have passed their test so far except for Amy, who is still stuck as irriversible crystal for now, so she will be gone. However, I will erase her out of your memories as well. And I will straighten up this whole mess for only the loss of one hedgehog."
"Forget that, what's the other choice?!" asked Sonic. Both his shoes were fully crystal by now.
"The other choice is very risky, as I don't even know my brother's traps yet. But, you have a chance of stopping him yourself if you complete his sick tasks. Although there is no guarentee any of you will die, there is none that you will live either. You must decide now, Sonic, or you will be out of time."
Sonic thought fast. Both his legs were already crystal. "Who are you?"
"My name is Negalith Aosis, now answer me, quickly!"
Sonic answered the second, more risky choice, of coarse. "Very well. Why you risk your neck for just one hedgehog I'll not know." He snapped his fingers and...
***End Flashback***
"You know what happened after that, of coarse." said the sorceror. Tails and Christine shook their heads to clear their vision. Having images input in your mind can be quite confusing. Negalith talked to his staff a bit then looked back at the two. "You wish to get to Knothole? I can take you there in a flash."
Tails and Christine looked doubtfully, but before they could say anything, the sorceror had teleported them back to the town. Everyone stood around them questioningly. The pair stared around as Sally ran through the crouds, her face filled with the usual obnoxious worry. "Is Sonic alright!? Where is he!?" And so on, so forth. Tails laughed nervously. "Uh, I think there's something you should know...
((Back at the prison aboard Armageddon))
Sonic sat in the corner of his cell, sore. He'd tried to bust out of the cursed prison bars countless times, but wore himself out eventually. Across the room, two hard-headed Hunters had been beating and kicking the bars for hours on in. Knuckles was on the ground, attending to his bruised and bloody knuckles, while Rouge continued kicking the bars as hard as she could, determined to break out. The blue hedgehog sighed as a rat passed by. He was kind've stuck where he was. After he sat here a while, Amy, being the wild sleeper she was, had accidently (or so it seemed) rolled over to rest her head in Sonic's lap. The blue hero was getting very impatient having to sit so still, but at the same time he had an odd feeling of patience..
The wolven warrior in silver armor entered the room, glaring at the group. He walked over to Rouge, who was kicking the cell still, and whipped at her with his tentacles, sending an electrical charge through her body. She fell to the ground, out cold, before a fist made contact with the wolf's unprotected head-- Wow, kids, I guess that's why you should always have protective headgear on! -- and knocked the warrior out cold. Knuckles reached down and grabbed the keyloop off his belt and worked on figuring out which key opened the cell...
