Yikes. Sorry about the LONG wait, people.

Midterms and all, I was distracted. DON'T HURT ME!!!

Claimer: Fount of Light and Raven are MINE! MUWAHAHAHAHA!

"Did we get him?" Tails wondered.
"Don't know," Super Sonic said, getting a closer look at the cracked spot where Raven had previously been before meeting Giant Knuckles' sumo-fist.
.
.
The enormous echidna was also peering down at the spot from his altitude, not moving a step to avoid accidentally stepping on his friends.
.
.
Super Sonic frowned as he looked the spot over. If Raven had really been squished, there should at least be a puddle of former-hedgehog goo. But there was no sign of that…meaning that the hedgehog had probably escaped.
.
.
.
A sharp, high-pitched giggle suddenly echoed around them. Super Sonic groaned to himself as the three of them began looking around, trying to find where Raven was hiding.
.
.
.
Knuckles found the white hedgehog first - when he was hurled bodily into the air and then tossed aside like a rag doll, despite being fifty stories tall. Raven landed daintily in between Tails, who bolted away as fast as he could go, and Super Sonic, who was too busy staring in shock at the other hedgehog's appearance to think of attacking.
.
.
.
Raven had sprouted six new tendrils from his back, each as thick as the broken pillars that were scattered all over the Master Emerald's Shrine. But was truly horrifying was how those tendrils and the other additions had changed to an oily black color. A hazy black aura stained Raven's formally pristine fur and his eyes were now a glowing jaundiced yellow.
This was Raven's insanity, manifested into his body.
.
.
.
"Run, run, run, as fast as you can," Raven cackled, "You can't catch me…nobody can!"
"You can't run away from us forever, Whitey!" Super Sonic yelled, getting ready to attack, "Why don't you try fighting me like a hedgehog! Or are ya running 'cause you already know you'll lose?"
.
.
"Me?"
Raven looked back at him, an incredulous expression on his face.
.
.
"Lose to YOU? You must be going insane. You can't beat me."
Raven laughed.
.
.
"The ARK couldn't beat me, back then. The doctor couldn't beat me, ever. And you won't beat me, now or ever."
.
.
.
"Well, obviously somebody DID beat you back on the ARK," Super Sonic grinned, "So I figure I'll just take my shot and see what happens!"
And with that, Super Sonic launched himself at the mutated hedgehog. He powered up a blast of Chaos Energy as he went and fired it point-blank at Raven.
.
.
.
Raven only noticed the attack long enough to physically rip the Chaos Energy to splinters with his new tendrils before attacking with his skinny scorched shoulder-tentacle and his now putrid dragon's arm.
.
.
.
Sonic lost his focus and his super form as the dragon claw grabbed him around the neck and started squeezing.
"You can't beat me," Raven was insisting, "You aren't HIM. You were never HIM!"
.
.
.
For a minute, Sonic let himself contemplate the idea that maybe this was the end. That maybe Raven was going to win.
.
.
Then the world around them shivered violently and shattered into a thousand pieces, scattering its inhabitants to the winds and dropping them all into a pit of darkness.
