Sonic Who?
Lost Forever: Part 3
The man stumbled over himself as he tried to get out of the alley but The Blue Demon tackled him down pressing his foot against the man's head. The half drugged human begged for The Blue Demon to get off but it only made the hedgehog more angry.
"Shut up you half wit!!" The Blue Demon shouted.
More pressure was added to the man's head.
"Just hand over the money and things won't get messy!!"
"B-but I need this money to feed my family--" the man stuttered.
"Shut up! I didn't ask for your pity story! Now hand over the cash!"
The frightened human reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a thick envelope. The Blue Demon snatched it and took out the money carefully counting it. He suddenly became disgusted and another burst of anger came from him; this time resulting in more beat downs for the human who cried hysterically. Despite the pleas The Blue Demon continuously attacked his victim over and over. Finally the hedgehog stopped taking a rest while the man curled up trying to ease the pains of his blood-covered wounds. The Blue Demon picked up the battered man by his collar and stared into his eyes fiercely.
"Your payment is five hundred short of what it's supposed to be. What the hell happened!?" the hedgehog asked.
"I-I-I had to pay for the rest of my son's surgery or else he would've died." the man replied.
The Blue Demon grew tired of the interrogation and just dropped his victim. The man crawled away from the hedgehog fearing for his life.
"I think your family is gonna have to worry about their financial status after your funeral." The Blue Demon said to the man in a dark tone.
A blade sliced through the air and then through the scared man as a horrifying scream filled the dark alley. The Blue Demon raced out of the alleyway with the money, his quills and clothes covered in blood. Streaks of lights all varying colors flew by the hedgehog in mad blurs. In the back of his mind he could hear the distant sound of car horns honking at him and crashes that were behind him. Gracefully but swiftly he found himself hoping side to side and jumping to dodge the lights that came towards him.
He bounced off walls, leaped at great heights, ran at furious speeds... but not a thought occurred in his mind during the whole process. The only thing The Blue Demon was thinking about was drugs. It had been a while since he was visited by them and it seemed like now was the time they came by for another tripped out visit in The Blue Demon's mind. He came to a screeching halt and quickly sprinted down a narrow alley where drug dealers roamed. His eyes darted left and right until they stopped on a particular fellow with two sluts by his side. The hedgehog stopped in front of the dealer and looked around suspiciously to check that no one else was near.
"You got the goods?" he asked the dealer.
"Only if you got the cash." the dealer responded.
The Blue Demon pulled out the envelope and the two guys exchanged smiles. The dealer then pulled out a bag of pre-made marijuana joints and the two exchanged quickly.
"It about five hundred short but I can get it to you soon." The Blue Demon mentioned.
The dealer was silent as The Blue Demon took out a joint and lit it. He took in a long smoke and blew out a smooth gray cloud as his eyes rolled back into his head. Everything became blurry and distorted and the hedgehog felt himself become hotter and hotter. Sweat drops fell down his face as the dealer and his ladies walked off laughing at The Blue Demon but he didn't seem to notice. He took another smoke and stumbled back against the wall. Everything began swirling around and the distant sounds of traffic began to fade quickly.
He breathed heavy breaths and looked around lazily at others who passed him. Their bodies looked as though they were some sort of liquid dancing around in a lava lamp. Their voices sounded more twisted than their looks and the colors of nearby lights became brighter and brighter. The Blue Demon pushed himself away from the wall but his limbs felt like jelly under his weight. He took in another satisfying smoke and began to make his way out of the narrow alleyway with others jeering at him.
"...wow..." his mind whispered.
The hedgehog fell out into the sidewalk where shrieks and screams soon filled his ears. His hands were held tightly against his ears to drown out the high pitched noises but then the lights began to agitate him. His eyes lids shut tight almost immediately and The Blue Demon's first reaction was to leave the boisterous area. In a frantic sluggish way the hedgehog ran out in the streets where ear piercing car horns blared at him. He stumbled out of the speeding cars' path still holding the joint in his hand. More horns screamed in his ears and The Blue Demon's headache grew more and more.
Frustrated by the lights and sounds he finally gained some control over himself and immediately left the area. The Blue Demon took off down the sidewalk, his body heat continually rising and his breaths becoming harder and shorter. He slowed in front of a pitch black alley and went into it for cover. Once inside the hedgehog leaned against the wall. His mind slowly became clearer and he could make out certain objects in the alley. Realizing he lost his first joint The Blue Demon took out another from the plastic bag and lit it. Another long smoke and The Blue Demon was once again lost and mixed up.
Instead of fighting for control over his body The Blue Demon allowed it to stumble forward and through a pair of double doors unnoticed to him. His limp body tumbled down a set of metal stairways into a night club full of dancers. The people by the emergency exit quickly moved away from the door frightened. The Blue Demon laid on the floor curled up and quivering. Two ladies approached him and tapped him lightly.
"Hey are you ok?" the brunette asked.
The Blue Demon turned on his back and opened his eyes slightly. The two ladies gasped and smiled excitedly.
"Hey there hedgie," the red hair girl greeted The Blue Demon. "long time no see. So what you been up to?"
The Blue Demon looked around at the other people who began to gather around slowly. Sweat continued to fall off his face as the heart pounding music played on in the background. He then looked back at the two women and opened his mouth.
"...home..." he managed to say.
The two women smiled and agreed to take him home.
Daylight broke into the quiet room. An atmosphere of lust and romance wandered through the air as three figures laid in bed. The Blue Demon and his female friends from the club last night slept silently in the nude. The first to stir was The Blue Demon himself. His ears twitched and he sat up stretching still half asleep.
"...what?" his mind thought.
He looked on both sides of him to see his lady friends still sleeping peacefully. Everything was still in the room including the hedgehog himself. He stared blankly at the wall in front of him while the noisy traffic outside filled his ears. With no intentions of doing anything The Blue Demon climbed out of bed careful not to disturb the red hair girl he climbed over. Within seconds he was dressed in his dirty orange shirt and blue jeans and walked out to the rooftop as usual. Once again The Blue Demon stared mindlessly over the city's landscape his thoughts void of any existence. Then without any sort of warning his ears bent back and a devilish grin was on his face.
"Carnage..." he hissed.
The Blue Demon leapt off the apartment rooftop and zoomed off into traffic in a blur. As expected he left a trail of havoc and destruction wherever he went. People were in a frenzy going insane and looking for shelter from the streets. His laughter seemed to bounce off the walls of the building echoing throughout city creating an eerie atmosphere. Explosions engulfed intersections and smoke rose into the gray cloudy sky; car fires appeared in mere seconds as more and more accidents occurred; a bloody path both in the streets and on the sidewalks was left behind as The Blue Demon's trademark on a horrific day such as this.
Being powerless to The Blue Demon the authorities did whatever they could to help those in need while TV news crews kept track of The Blue Demon's path. The sinister hedgehog was enjoying his murder streak until he stopped in an open intersection for a small break. The people in the area panicked at the sight of him and immediately left the area. The Blue Demon laughed loudly letting it echo into the distance.
"That's right pathetic humans, fear me!!" the hedgehog shouted. "For I control this city and no one can stop me!!"
So far his day had started out perfectly and he decided to continue on with his rampage all day. But someone, with more nerves than anyone else, stepped up to challenge The Blue Demon. The blue hedgehog sensed that there was still someone left in the deserted area and spun around to see who it was. On top of a pile of cars stood a black and red hedgehog with his arms crossed. The Blue Demon sneered and walked towards the pile of cars.
"So you want to challenge me?" he asked his opponent.
....
"I see. Well I haven't seen you around town so I'm guessing you're new here. You've probably noticed that I run things around here, not those dumb ass humans. I'm also the richest bastard in this dank town and I've screwed just about all the pretty ladies here."
....
"So you're just gonna stand there like some sort of shadow? Heh. Maybe that's what I should call you, Shadow. Now hold still while I slice you in half."
The Shadow leapt off the car pile and took off down the street. The Blue Demon, angered by the hedgehog's escape, sped off in pursuit. The Shadow moved through the traffic swiftly while The Blue Demon chased after him destroying everything in his path. The two hedgehogs sped through the streets heading north towards the techno wasteland. More explosions and deaths happened before The Blue Demon and his opposite were outside the city and now speeding off towards the wasteland where The Mastermind resided.
As the two entered into the wasteland robots and machines appeared from the piles of trash and attacked the intruders. But the hedgehogs were not distracted by the mechanical hazards. The Blue Demon made several attempts to attack The Shadow but only managed to destroy a few machines that got in his way. The violent chase between the two continued on deep into the heart of the wasteland where the tower was located. By now The Blue Demon's tolerance for his opponent's refusal to battle was short and almost gone. He tore through walls and demolished security robots in his attempt to catch the black hedgehog.
"That fucking idiot can't run forever. He's gonna hit a dead end sooner or later." The Blue Demon thought.
The two skid around a corner and took off down the long dark corridor that led to The Mastermind's chamber but The Blue Demon failed to notice. Seconds later the hedgehogs entered into the chamber room where The Shadow halted almost immediately upon the sight of The Mastermind. The Blue Demon came in and tackled the black hedgehog laughing hysterically. The Blue Demon proceeded to choke the silent hedgehog determined to take his life but suddenly his body fell limp and slowly rose into the air.
The Blue Demon looked up to see The Mastermind's visor a blood red color. The fox was breathing heavily almost growling at the blue hedgehog. The Blue Demon saw no danger in the situation; he just wanted to kill The Shadow.
"You... must... die." The Mastermind snarled.
"Bring it on shit head." The Blue Demon replied coolly.
