They stopped at the doorway of the Abandoned Sector. Looking through, they saw only darkness.

"So…who wants to go first?" Blaze asked. No one stepped forward for a few minutes.

"Blaze, you and Mitch stay out here and try to get the lights on. Me, Dante and Slash shall go in and find the emergency power switch. If we don't come out for some reason…continue without us," Sin explained. They nodded in agreement. The Tasmanian and Beetle followed Sin into the darkness.

"Keep quiet. If I'm correct, then their vision should be purely based on sound," Sin said. Dante lost sight of him. Though they were right behind him, Sin's suit blended him into the black of the room.

Dante and Slash soon could not feel Sin's presence.

"Dude, where'd he go?" Slash whispered.

"We must have lost him," Dante replied. He suddenly heard a hiss come from behind.

"There!" he yelled. Slash fired a shot and hit. They heard the beast collapse onto the floor, dead.

Count Sin heard someone yell "There!" and then the echo of a gunshot.

"Well, they're doing well so far," he said to himself. The sound of a growl then touched his ears. He turned around and looked. Nothing. He continued onward, when suddenly…

Pain shot through his entire body. Something impaled him through the stomach. As the object withdrew from his body, he dropped down to his knees, his hands over his wound. He quickly retaliated, however, and sliced the attacker with his sword. His triumph was short, though, as a claw tore through the back of his suit. More sparks flew, temporarily lighting the area. The beasts continued to claw and stab him. After the attack, Sin barely had any life in him left. He fell onto the floor, weakened. All that he could see was his life before his eyes…

He was a small child back then. They were in some underwater city. Not Atlantis, but it felt like it. His father was talking to an old man about something. He was quite bored. It would pay off, though. In a little bit, he would receive a name. It was customary to receive your name 5 years after birth. Now his father wouldn't have to always call him son.

Suddenly, a bright red light caught his attention. It fluttered about, which intrigued him. He ran after it, laughing. He enjoyed playing chasing games.

The light finally brought him to a very big gate. It had a giant star symbol on it that glowed red. The gate opened, granting him access to whatever lay ahead. Curious as always, he walked through. For about 2 miles, there was nothing but hallway he walked. Then he came to a wooden door. Touching the doorknob, he felt a sharp burning pain run through his hand. He quickly let go and blew air onto his hand. It cooled after a minute, and so did the doorknob. Opening it, he saw a truly frightening sight. Hell. At least that's what it looked like. A single path of formed rock resided over a pool of magma. He turned around to go back, but something stopped him.

"Come…" the voice said. He continued along the path through what looked like Hell. He stopped in front of an altar. A symbol, the same as on the gate, was carved into the altar. He set his hand onto it and the burning pain ran through him once more. This time, though, it did not stop. The pain worsened gradually, and he started to cry uncontrollably.

Out of the shadows appeared a man in a black cloak. He revealed his left hand, which was skeletal. He placed his hand on the child's forehead and started chanting.

"Venite in facinum, O spiritus tenebrarum. Venite in facinum, O spiritus tenebrarum. Magne Asterothe, te iubeo. Implete hunc lapidem, implete eum viribus Sulfuratis vestris. Consumite eum iris vestris, istas vires adsumem!

Iubeo te!" he yelled. Unimaginable pain dwelled in the child, until finally, it stopped.

"You have been chosen…" the man said. A bright light flashed, and he returned to his father's side. They were now in front of an old lady.

"So, this is the child you wish to name?" she asked. His father nodded. She placed her hand on his forehead…and then screamed. Her flesh nearly burned off her hand. She held it and glared at the child.

"…This child is evil! Sin! That is his name! Sin!" she screamed before running away. The child now known as Sin started crying. He knew it had something to do with that place…

"No…NO!" Sin yelled as he flew into the air. He landed, his blade driving into the alien's head. He swirled around and decapitated the remaining beasts heads. Acid flew onto his suit, burning some of it off. Half of his visor was now gone, revealing his red, bloodshot eyes. Tan skin could be seen in some spots of his body.

"Got it!" yelled the familiar voice of Blaze. Suddenly, the whole Abandoned Sector was lit up.

"Whew, that was…Sin!" Dante yelled as he witnessed the Count's mashed-up body. He and Slash quickly ran over and helped him up. Blaze and Mitch arrived there as well, with first aid and everything.

"Man, they kicked your ass into next week!" Blaze exclaimed.

"I'm fine, what about you?" Sin replied sarcastically to Blaze's comment.

"Sin, what happened?" Mitch asked. Count Sin thought for a moment.

"Nothing. I was caught off guard," he said. All five sat on the sat on the floor.

Robotnik heard footsteps against the metal floor in his room. Turning around, he saw…

"Sonic! Well, this is a surprise! Just how are you in all these different places at once, huh?" Robotnik asked the hedgehog. Sonic smiled and then melted onto the floor into silver liquid.

"What the…" Robotnik started. The liquid rose up and formed into the shape of…

"Oh my god….no, no, no!" he screamed. The attacker showed no mercy. 2 seconds later, red blood splattered onto the wall, and Robotnik's arms flailed about in the chair.
