Oblivion

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the sonic or naruto characters. I do own Spyke the Hedgehog and a lot of the other original characters as well as some of the bloodlines. Do not use them without my permission.

Thanks: I want to thank the people at for their translations of certain jutsu. It was a real lifesaver.

(Spyke's POV)

It is like I'm having a waking dream. I could see everything, hear everything, smell and taste everything but I couldn't control it. The power continued to build in my body as Orochimaru taunted me and insulted me then it just came rushing out like a dame had breached. Now that the transformation was completed I felt like I was nothing but raw power. I could do anything defeat any foe. Then I noticed I wasn't in control of my body. My body was moving of its own free will, which in my mind was impossible. But it was happening, I saw the terrified look on Orochimaru's face and I knew then and there that this was not going to be pretty.

Battlefield (author's POV)

It terrified him, the great snake, that this could be his final hour, if even that, on this miserable mud ball of a planet. The site before him struck him far harder than any skill or physical blow he had ever had the displeasure to receive in all his long years. The sinister grin that spread across spyke's, no the creature's face was maddening. The snake ninja was at a loss for all his power. This was it for him.

The creature glanced around as a hawk searches for its prey. Then it's eyes fell on the snake sannin, the human turned hedgehog nearly wet his pants as he saw the look of sheer delight on it's face. As the sinister figure started making it's way toward him, step by step watching his prey trying feverishly to muster the strength to get on his feet to make a break for safety, and the utter look of hopelessness seemed to intensify the malicious smile on the creature, for there was no safety from him now.

"Please, Spyke-kun, don't do this to me," he begged trying in vain to make this juggernaut stop its rampage. "Naruto-kun is not dead it was a ruse to distract you, I could never have defeated Naruto-kun," again he tried in vain to reach the part of his enemy gone berserk.

In a flash the gap between the two of them was closed by the dark hedgehog formerly know as Spyke, his hand firmly grasping the throat of the gray hedgehog. Spyke watched as the life started to drain out of his opponent as his grip tightened around the snake's throat. The snake-hedgehog could feel his energy literally being drained out of his body with each passing second in the grasp of this monster. Orochimaru frantically tried to pry the hands of this beast off of him but to no avail. The new Spyke looked at this and smirked in a far more sinister way than even thought naturally possible. He tossed the snake ninja into the air with next to no effort on his part. Orochimaru flew with such speed, as he had never dreamt possible until a two fists plowed into his abdomen causing him to change course as well as gasp out in pain. As he fell he saw his tormenter seem to disappear only to have him reappear underneath him to deliver a backbreaker to nowhere else but his back. The wind twice knocked out of him, Orochimaru desperately tried to make a break for the exit and yet again he was met with the monstrosity that had replaced Spyke. Spyke once again grabbed and threw his prey into the air and repeatedly delivered blow after blow to Orochimaru's face abdomen and back at speeds that would rival a the god's.

Orochimaru thought of anything that could give him an edge in this battle and could come to only one solution, he had to get Spyke to go after someone else, as soon as he was given a second to get some breathing room he taken off toward the tunnel system with Spyke hot on his tail.

His answer came in the form of Spyke's strike team who were doing surprisingly well against his own men. As soon as he had lead Spyke by them he proceeded to the nearest tunnel to watch the carnage unfold.

As Spyke saw the fighting below him he stopped and he smirked that same sinister smirk and charged his chaos energy into his hands and released it toward them. No one, not even his own teammates were spared horrible, quick deaths as the beam cut through their bodies and instantly vaporized them. Their cries of pain as well as the smell of charred flesh and blood hung in the air like a shadow, as he continued his chase after Orochimaru. When the snake saw Spyke charging the blast he took the opportunity to take his leave. There was no trace of the old parasite anywhere, Spyke yelled loudly, but this was not the yell of a madman or even an angry man, this was the howl of rage of a beast that had been denied his prey. He continued to roar violently until the entire subterranean system caved in on him. This did little to faze him as he blasted through the rubble and made his way toward the south end of the city of Megalopolis.

The city was quiet this night, not even the drunks that normally inhabit the streets were anywhere to be seen on this night. A bright red flash of light instantly woke many of the inhabitants out of their deep slumber into a state of fear and panic. The black beast hung in the air surrounded by his violet and red aura emitting pure killing intent. People gazed upon the site as if it were some wonder from afar. The beast raised its arms and began to gather unspeakable amounts of energy into its hands. Upon seeing this any of the people that hadn't left screaming began to join the others who had been smart enough to run for their lives. But it was too late to flee; the orb was charged and ready to be hurled to the target that was to be destroyed. Screams of horror and pain were intermingled as the blast consumed all that was in its path. The attacking beast smiled its insidious smile, taking great pleasure in the pain of the people it had just incinerated.

But like all great powers, this form of Spyke's reached its limit and he returned to his normal navy-blue form when he passed out. Spyke fell from several stories landing on his back with a thud as everything around him went black.

G.U.N. HQ (one day after the incident Spyke's POV)

I woke up in an infirmary bed, the intense light from the fluorescent bulb causing my eyes intense agony. I struggled to get up on my feet but found I couldn't. One, my body was exhausted from my fight, and two my limbs were restrained. The memories of the past experience all coming back to me so I struggled all the more frantically to get out of my restraints knowing what they'd do to me when I recovered. Just as I started to struggle more violently I heard the curtains pull back and there in front of me was none other that the general himself standing there with another file under his arm, which I assumed to be the report of what had happened that evening.

"Hello son," he said in his normal, western drawl, "I suppose that you already remember what has transpired over the last couple of hours so I wont bore you with the details. I do want to commend you on scaring the terrorist leader into surrendering himself to us. But as for that display back in Megalopolis," he trailed off almost trying to avoid the point, "we managed to blame it on the terrorists so far. What I want to know is what did you do to destroy three miles of city and population?" he said glancing at the report in the folder.

I spent the next few hours explaining my origins to my commanding officer. I told him I was originally from across the ocean and was part of a hidden ninja village, I also told him about my bloodline ability, to see in 360 degrees around me and to copy moves and attacks both physically and energy based and how I could draw in energy to attain a powerful transformation know as super form. The whole time I was explaining what happened during the fight with Orochimaru the general just nodded. When I finished, he look down at me and merely smiled at me in his usual happy-go- lucky way and told me not to worry about anything. Then he undid my restraints and had me follow him.

"My boy," he started, "we've already decided the fate of the terrorist leader, cryogenic freezing for two thousand years. I've also decided that you will share in his fate since you practically vaporized the lower half of a major metropolitan area." I looked down on the floor as I heard that. "But on the bright side I'm giving you two weeks to spend with your family and friends before that happens. Go and spend time worth them, you may never get this chance ever again," he said in a strangely serious tone of voice that I had not recognized on him. I saluted and went to get my things to go and leave for home.

Megalopolis (two days later Spyke's POV)

It was a bright late afternoon as I arrived in Megalopolis. As I walked out of the airport in my military uniform I got many congratulations on for being a soldier that help stop the terrorism in the country. They had no idea that I was the one behind what was considered a terrorist attack.

I made my way to my house figuring it better to walk then to get a ride from a cab. After all since the terrorism was over the military allowed the use of vehicles for civilians, but I figured I needed the exercise.

When I approached the apartment I stopped and looked at the building wondering if she was still home seeing as it was the afternoon and she told me in her letters that she was usually with Angie the prankster at this time of the day, but to be on the safe side I decided to sneak in and try to surprise her.

I placed my bag in the lobby of the building and proceeded up the fire escape like always. Make extra sure to not make a sound on the way up. Like always I got to the window and silently opened it so that not even a mouse would be suspicious of the sound. But as I got through the window I took notice that she wasn't there. I frowned but took the opportunity to set things up for what I would need to do next. I began by pushing the couch that was in the middle of the room all the way to the up against the wall. Next I proceeded to make an array on the floor with some chalk I had in my pack. The array was difficult because it required many different kanji in several areas, once done I stood in the middle and began channeling my chakra into the circle. The circle began to glow a light blue as the room around the array began to grow dark. Next, I held out my right hand and channeled even more chakra into my hand as the circle began to glow brighter; my hand glowed brightly in the same blue aura that covered the area I was in. I felt the power was at the right amount of intensity so I decided to go on to the next step of the technique, I plunged my glowing right hand into my chest just over my heart; I felt the power course through me as markings began taking form over my heart. The pain was indescribable as the marks began to snake their way across my chest but I had to bear it, for in two thousand years I would be release from cryogenic sleep and I did not want that beast to be loosed on an unsuspecting world. This was a kinjutsu, or a forbidden skill that was meant for sealing portions of an opponent's chakra away. I made a few changes in the array and in the way I molded my chakra; for one I inscribed a few new kanji into the array I found an old echidna philosophy book in the military archives and found that they made many references to chaos energy, one of which burned in my mind the entire time I was reading it, "chaos is power enriched by the heart." I took this to mean this was the source of my chaotic power so I decided to place the limiting seal over it to restrict the flow of chaos energy and so far it was working perfectly. When the technique was finished I placed my shirt back on as the marks began to fade as they were supposed to and decided to clean up before Kat came home. It was going to be very hard to break the news to her.
