Our Pasts entwine,and is different from out future2
Branches snapped loudly in the silence.The sun was coming up slowly,its blinding light shining down on Sonic's quills.The heat always irritated him,but what could he do?His new armor cut the branches on his sides straight in half.Yawning he put up his hand to move the shubbary in front of him out of the way.Breathing in the pine air he came across a cave.Unsure that it was the cave he destined,he brought about the sword he had made by melting spear heads and the mechete.Stalking in slowly he was greeted by the smell of blood.But the smell was aged and was strong enough to make anyone empty their stomach.Placing his free hand over his mouth he walked in deeper.But what he saw was breath taking.A dimly lit silver crystal floating a few inches above the ground,a stream of blood across the surface as though they were vines.Sheathing his sword he made his way to it.Floating in front if it was a black heavy book,it opened as though on command.
'Awaken me my saint,and I shall serve you.But you must make sure,if I am to be free,you betray me,and I kill you.Also,you wish for my service,I should be hungry by the time you release me.In order to awaken me,cut thy wrist and let the blood flow onto the crystal'.The book then closed after he read it.She'll be hungry eh?Guess I should find a willing sacrifice.As though on cue,voices could be heard outside.The voice of thugs,or thieves talking about the riches they just scored.
"Thank you"Sonic smiled and walked outside,holding up a large golden coin.
"You look pretty well dressed my good sir,it'd be a shame it somethin happened to ya,wouldn't it guys?"his group of idiots goffed as though what he said was hilerous.Sonic smiled somewhat himself.He then tossed the large gold coin in their direction.
"I have plenty more,why not take the whole lot?That is...if you can".
"Do you have any idea who your talking to!"
"Not really and I don't care.So come at me!"
"We are the snaking thieves"
"And now I'm bored"Sonic rolled his eyes,intro's were a waste of time and showed weakness.As fast as sound,he was in front of him.Sonic's red eyes could see something,something he couldn't before.He saw greed,lust,anger,pity.His new eyes allowed him to see into one's soul.Its ashame this moron couldn't do the same.His steel blade pierced through the guy's chest cavity,lucky for Sonic though,three of them were standing right behind the leader.The last one seemed as though he had just pissed his pants.He turned and started running.Something in Sonic's mind shouted at him 'leave no survivors,for survivor's are messangers!' Taking aim he threw one of the dropped weapons from the thugs.Blood gushed from the back of the guy's head and he dropped to the floor.Picking up his sword with all the guys on them,Sonic walked back into the cave.He put the sword down and lifted his wrist to his canine's.What was with vampires and blood he didn't know but,eh what the hell,he needed her to get the most powerful resources.As soon as his blood lay fresh upon the surface,a voice came.It was soft and in a different langauge...it was singing,and it was very beautiful. It was her voice that was said to lure in her prey,carefully Sonic backed away and retrieved one of the thieves and held it out infront of him.Black clawed smog hands outstretched and grabbed the body.In a quick flash,it was crushed into the surface,blood everywhere,as though the guy was a living bomb.
Ice cold blue eyes turned emerald green,and then looked at him.The eyes smiled,or looked like they did if the entire face had smiled as well.The voice faded and the eyes disappeared.Large purple-black wings erputed from the sides,like splitting jello.Hands extended out in front,grabbing the book,before Rouge herself came out.
"Your are Sonic"it wasn't a question,so Sonic was unsure how to reply.He meley nodded to not sound like an idiot.Rouge was in black robes,that hung off her curves.A chest plate with skulls on it and a very dangerous but beautiful look about her.
"So then...where do we begin?"he asked,thirsting for information.She smiled and put a finger over his lips.
"First...you must gain power,and to do that,we must get you an empire".
"But that'll take to long to build".
"What are you?A nitwit?Take over one.You want to powerful you must take power.Say good bye to your fears,for only they hold you back.Find an empire and destroy its leader,I'll make sure the leader's minions won't get to you.You want to avenge your sister don't you?You want to kill the king don't you?Listen to your soul,leave no survivors who will rebel against you.You do that,you gain respect from other powerful forces".Her words echoed into his mind,whispering certain things.
"Hey...no witch craft"that earned him a smack in the face.
"OW!What the hell your supposed to be on my side!"
"I am not a witch.Its called sorcorery,and if you were to ever call it witchcraft you could wind up dead on the floor.Witches and warlocks are nothing but children who grow old thinking their powerful.They know certain tricks to fool the eye or grant one luck.But it is sorcorers and sorcoreress that are in battle because they posses the gift of basically giving who ever they side with immortality.Got it?"
"Yeah...sorry,jeez.But get this straight Rouge,if you ever hit me again,I will make sure to stake you through the heart in the middle of daylight on god's holy ground.Everything can die,and one is only immortal if left alone.Got that?"Sonic growled,glaring at her.Rouge raised her eyebrows,no fear,just intrest.Good,show power and earn the powerful one's respect.So far he was on his way to earning her's.
Staying low to the ground,Sonic exhaled deeply.The empire of Lord Jack.He was a spider,and he was losing respect from his warriors,who were not all that strong.So if Sonic planned this out right,he could get himself a few warrior's on his side.Not all powerful but it was a start at least.Rouge was next to him,her wings tightly folded on her back.
"Ok...Rouge.This is the plan.The one's that oppose the most threat to us,take them out,eat them if you want,but get rid of them.Their probably the only loyal one's left.I figure the one's who aren't will be glad to have someone new in charge,and plus word will spread that we took over,for people think that this Lord Jack or whatever is all powerful.We gain a few soldiers in the process and gain some respect.Any questions?"
"No...its a good plan.But perhaps I can change one thing?"she lifted her hands to his blade,and with glowing black energy it transformed into a sinister looking spiked ball on a chain.
"Since you move as fast as sound all you have to do is keep swinging it,and you'll have no problems.Now I'm going to transport us in the middle of the throne room,ready?" Sonic nodded and held on tightly onto Rouge's arm.
"Sonic there's no reason to crush my bone".The throne room came into focus,a few hundred guards in every other corner,and Lord Jack sitting on his throne,yelling at someone.There was a smaller throne next to it,as though for the Lord's Lady.All eyes were on the two of them now.
'Is she trying to get us killed!'Sonic thought as they all came towards them,weapon's exposed.But they couldn't come any closer after 20 feet.A shield,nicely done.
"Ready!Go!" an opening was in front of him,and Sonic dashed through it,spinning his new toy around.Blood burst onto the white walls,staining them.But to be honest,Sonic didn't feel at all bad.He felt alive and better than he had been in a few quickly he got Jack's throne.Now he hated Jack because Jack served the King,which was wrong in all minds.Jack used his many legs to grab sword,to late,Sonic was already there.
"Lord Jack Aaron Phantom...I am here to relieve you of your duty.You can thank your king for it"a sinister smile feel unto his lips,a wicked laugh escaping him.Jack didn't have any time to think...for wouldn't that require a head of some sort?The body slid to the floor with a loud thud,making everyone look up.
"If any body's got a problem with me being in charge,better die now otherwise you stuck with rebelling against the king".To his surprise every single one of them dropped to their knee's and cheered.He looked at Rouge who had someone literally between her teeth.He did say get rid of the threats.She seemed to sense his stare and immediately dropped the person.
"Well if this is going to be our new home,better make a few changes eh?".The entire empire's wall's turned to hard cold silent stone,chains hung from the walls,sinister staircases.Torture devices on the wall...now this is what Sonic could call home.
"So...who's the powerful force we're going for first?"Sonic asked as he sat down on his new throne.Lord Jack's was burned away by sorcorery.
"You need armies now...also,someone who could invent new things,and one who could get the power of a royal on your side.But small things first,lets choose army commanders.Now,their are two who are the best above all else,and even better,their allies.You get one commander to like you,and you basically earn the other one.Now who do you want to track down first? General Shadow,or Commander Rose?"
"Wait,you mean I could actually get those two to side with me?"
"Its a possiblity".
"Well couldn't you tell me?"
"Do I look like a fortune teller?I can only see ahead in time when it is something big in history coming up.Now choose one,it'll give me time on where they might be,and how we may convince them".
"I dunno...ummm...how about General Sha...sha...whats the name?"
"Shadow"but Rouge had said the name with a bit of anger,like he did something horrible to her.Sonic raised his eyebrows,and then noticed that the warriors on their knees had gotten up and were whispering excitedly.So they had heard about the commanders as well huh?Ok...this shouldn't be to hard,right?
A/N: Suspense full eh?One review please.And thats now much people.
