20 - Cryptic Reasons


It didn't take him long to find a good quiet place to make his announcement. There were a lot of dead people on the ground but, oh well. Not his problem. He took out his smart phone and pressed the power button to check the time. It was three minutes until midnight. The blood moon that shined down upon the globe, matched his malicious intentions. He would make this speech as meaningful as possible, perhaps in a way that people could finally understand. Even if not the whole world, maybe a few smart people would finally get why he was doing this. The green hedgehog sighed to himself, putting a hand over his face.

He knew he was a bastard.

He knew he was ending the lives of others.

He knew how much of destruction and misery he was causing.

He knew he was scarring a world, with damage that would probably stay with everyone forever.

But then he smiled.

All of this despair, this horrendous tragedy that would stain the planet with the ink of hopelessness...It didn't matter. He had to do this. He had to show this world the mistake it's been making for years to come. To show them how arrogant and ignorant they are. How false their beliefs in their hero were. What he was doing was way beyond the levels of just 'wrong', but he had to do this. It wasn't right. This, was true justice. He'd show them all the light they've been ignoring, the light they've been forcing themselves to look away from in their perfect fantasy world.

He'd burn in hell for all the sins he's made in his short life, but he was okay with that. He lived his life in constant pain, taking beatings from more people than he can remember. One of whom was supposed to protect him and raise him. All the failed attempts he's made were for naught, earning more pain. Falling and landing on the car, slices of skin peeling off of his fur all over just to fill up the tub with red, or emptying his organs so that his body would shrivel up and finally pass. Not to mention the cord tied to the ceiling, attempting to make his body into a pendulum, but that was a consequence from No Zone, as well as many others.

He's faced death so many times, but the world never allowed him to die. All he was allowed to do was suffer, and realize the true meaning of emptiness. The meaning of agony, and pain. Why does this world deserve a golden blue star, who lets everyone live happy and peaceful lives? Why was this world cursed with the illusion of perfection, while his world was cursed with the reality of war and horror?

Why did he deserve to be an anti, and why did Sonic deserve to be the prime?

Why was he born, to be ultimately weaker, to be ultimately burdened with the curse of definite unhappiness?

...No.

His world would pay dearly for their foolishness.

Scourge just scoffed and ripped the cap from his head. This stupid costume served it's purpose. He set the phone down on the ground, preparing himself to strip. He tore off the fabric of his top, letting it fly away in the weak wind. He didn't wear pants, so he didn't have to worry about that. He crouched down and untied his shoes. He almost smiled. He remembered how many times he wore these kinds of shoes around his home. He tossed them away into the streets. He was now nude, in the midst of Twinkle Park. He managed to find his way back here. The car he had parked on a roof in this area somewhere, was silent. He turned off Clair De Lune a while ago.

With a steady breath, he watched as red aura mystified against his body. Clothes formed on his torso, his signature leather jacket with the silver zippers. His black boots he loved to wear. He looked down at the hand his ex girlfriend painted, his black coated nails.

This was an outfit that, really didn't express who he was at all.

So it was perfect.

Being something he wasn't, was the epitome of his persona, and he was okay with that. It, somewhat made him unique in his eyes.

He leaned down to pick his phone back up, and turned it on. With some whirring of his finger tips, he found the app he was looking for. His eyes turned red instantly, making his phone shake with red electricity. Ah, there we go. He watched as the screen changed, with the words LIVE in caps on it. An icon of a globe was animated to constantly turn three sixty degrees, indicating this would be shown all around the world. Dots appeared on the globe, letting him know that his power reached in other countries at this point. Just barely, but it did. That meant people weren't just dying in Station Square, but outside of the country. He grinned. That's exactly what he wanted. The feed from his phone was being shot all around, now. To any device that was still operating, he was now seen.

He cleared his throat and prepared to speak. He was a king now, he had to get used to making speeches.

"Heeelllooooo people of Mobius prime!" He started off gleefully. "Boy, I had a swell ol' time! That killing game was pretty fun, but I'm not gonna stick around to keep playing. I mean, my buddies might stay, but I got places to be. I'm a busy man, after all." He said smugly. The smug look on his face, couldn't stay, however. His smirk was fading, and nothing but the flat line of a disappointed scowl stayed instead. He was done with joking around. He focused his blue eyes into the phone's screen, narrowing them. "As I walked through the crowds of Mobians senselessly killing each other, I often hear someone scream, 'Why?'"

His face began to turn sour.

"And I think to myself," He paused, clenching his teeth angrily. "Why?" He seethed. "Why? Why am I doing this? Why are people killing their friends and families in the streets? Why did I suddenly show up and ruin everyone's day? Why I came here in the first place?" He tried to keep his composure, leveling down his rising voice. "I came here to your world, to deliver a truth. A truth that you all so blatantly shy away from. What you all believe in, it's all just a lie. The society that you all live in, is something I like to call, a 'bubble'." He held up his hand, his palm open. Red and black energy formed around, manipulating and forming itself into an object. Soon, the object in his hand was a sturdy looking oval-like bubble, with a city trapped inside of it. "This, is all of you." He poked his gloveless finger into the surface of the bubble. It refused to pop as he moved the phone screen in front of his hand so everyone could see.

The bubble looked almost like a strong plastic, while the city stood perfectly inside. It didn't even move or shake.

"See how perfect this world is? How the buildings never move or fall over, how no one gets hurt inside of it? No matter what, even if I crushed my fingers into this bubble, everyone would be fine." His fingers then closed around the bubble, pressing into it harshly. "But, it's just a bubble. A fragile, weak bubble that should be able to pop easily. That's how the world is. Nothing can flee from an inevitable fate. But thanks to your hero, you think nothing can hurt you." He growled. "You think nothing can go wrong, and you think nothing can affect you so long as he's there to rescue you. In all of Sonic the Hedgehog's years of hero work, he's had a number of less than half a dozen casualties, and that's including all of Doctor Eggman's schemes." He crushed the bubble in his hand, watching red and black mist float above. "That in itself, is a fantasy."

The red moon, was starting to turn darker. He turned the phone back to him.

"You can't live in a fantasy world, that's just impossible. No matter how well protected you think you are, that isn't the truth. But you all believe in his words, and trust in his actions because you hide behind his back. 'Oh he'll save us all! He's the hero of Mobius, we'll be okay! We won't ever have to worry about anything, ever.' That way of thinking, is so idiotic and gutless..." He laughed with a cold tone. "You all really don't get it? What hopelessness is? What tragedy is? You all just, wait for your hero to clean up everything for you? You think nothing can penetrate the bubble you call a utopia? You think something like that actually exists? You really believe in a truth that weak!?" He yelled aggressively. "You really," He just continued to laugh. "...Think life is that easy? And you think you all deserve life to be that easy? You think it's realistic for life to be that easy? Without hardship? Without death? Without mourning? Without sadness, betrayal, or insanity? Well my friends," He shook his head. "I'm afraid, I'm here to teach you all a lesson."

He sucked in a deep breath, carefully using his voice to deliver the final point of his speech.

"I'm here to show you, what true evil really is."


The fox made of a sound of distaste at the green hedgehog's words. Before he knew it, his wrist watch-like communicator glitched and began speaking. It was Scourge's voice no doubt. He was giving another message. And from the sounds of it, he wasn't too happy. The boy just sat back as his plane traveled to GUN HQ, and leaned back in his chair.

"I ain't Eggman, I ain't no Black Doom, I ain't no Dark Gaia, I ain't Project Shadow...I'm not Mephiles, I'm not Metal Sonic, and I'm no Perfect Chaos. Your hero isn't here to save you this time. And even when he comes back, it'll be too late. Your world'll be doomed by then. Even if he ends up beating me, it won't matter. He won't save all of you. He won't rescue every single one of you. He won't make a miracle happen this time. You've enjoyed the brunch of mercy for far too long, and it's time for a new dish. You all need a taste of what it's like to live in a barren world of hate, and death. Then when everything is said and done, we'll see just how selfish you all are then. I guarantee, you'll never take your lives for granted again."

Tails couldn't help but gulp. He never heard him speak so callously like that before. It felt like he wasn't really talking to the people, but more to Sonic's friends. He, really meant business this time. He wasn't acting all cocky and mischievous, he was serious. Unlike all of the enemies he named, he was the only villain to ever cause such substantial damage to Mobius.

He really was the most evil person they've ever had to fight against.

But what the hell did that all mean? They were all taking their lives for granted? They were all being selfish and phony? That wasn't the case at all! What kind of stupid reason is that for destroying a planet?! That wasn't fair! He was wrong! Sonic didn't make them all prone to being used to a perfect life. Okay, so maybe he did save the world several times without damage he couldn't fix. That didn't mean they lived in some kind of indestructible cubicle of peace. What was his problem? Was he jealous of them or something? Jealous that his world was a wasteland, and there's wasn't? Tch, that wasn't anyone's fault! Why should they have to pay the ultimate price for living better lives than he did?

...

Then again...

..Maybe...He's right, in a way. Maybe they have been a little too dependent on Sonic. Maybe they did need a taste of reality to slap their taste buds. They couldn't joke around while confidently talking down to their enemy this time. They had to deal with the fact that they lost so many lives of men, women and children alike. It's a shame that the lesson he was trying to teach, had a deadly truth to it.

They...Would never gain back what they lost, here.

"I'll take my leave for now. You all keep trying to survive while I pay a visit to the 'God' you all worship so much. We'll see if Sonic can make it back in time to save at least one person from death, if he doesn't die to me first. Godspeed, you ignorant fucks. Sayonara~"

The transmission ended.

All Tails could do was bite his lip and push his hands on the control sticks further to move the aircraft faster.


Sonic felt something throb against his head, and he cried out in pain.

"Ahh!" Sonic grabbed at his chest, holding where his heart throbbed. He huffed in rapid breaths over and over, trying to get himself to breathe normally. His head was killing him, someone was trying to speak. He knew who it was, but he couldn't make out their name. It felt like some ancient language that was native to him, but foreign at the same time. Like he could understand, but he couldn't speak it. His blue ears flattened in response to his now swelling head.

The sound of footsteps rushing to the room caught his attention. While still holding his head, he looked up to see Shadow rush into the room. His hand was glowing crimson. He was ready to use some chaos energy. His eyes immediately landed on the hero, who just stared back awkwardly. He started to smile sheepishly while waving his hand to say hello at his, sudden arrival. "Uh, hey." He chuckled. Shadow continued to stare at him.

"You screamed."

"I...Yeah I did. Sorry."

He sighed. "What was it, a nightmare?"

"No, I was awake. It just, happened. It was, it was-" How could he even explain? What was that exactly? He new it was a voice of some kind, but it sounded corrupted, like something was purposely blocking whoever was trying to talk to him. Something, or someone was stopping whoever that was from speaking to him. Whatever they wanted to say, it felt important. Could it have been them? With all this Scourge madness going on, maybe they were trying to warn him. Damn it, he wished he could find a way to connect with them some how, or maybe get in touch with his friends so he could understand what was happening. Something felt wrong, like something really bad happened. "Shadow," Sonic suddenly said. "I think something bad happened back in Mobius."

"Bad?" He paused at his words. With a doubtful expression, the biohog shut off his energy and walked over to the bed to sit next to the hero. "Rouge still hasn't contacted me yet, perhaps something did happen."

"Shit," The blue one cursed. "It might be Scourge."

He was right, that was probably the reason why she hadn't tried to contact him yet, because she couldn't. It's been days, and he knew she would have tried to see if they were alright by now. He had to have done something back in Mobius prime to mess up their communications. Still, while they had them deep in thought, they couldn't worry themselves to death over them. They were strong, and they would be alright on their own. It wouldn't be long, Scourge would show his face and they'd finally take him down once and for all. In fact, turning super would even the odds, despite Miles' warning. With the No Zone army on their side and the chaos emeralds, they could stand up to him-

What the...?! Why-?

"H-Hey," Sonic fidgeted. "Does something feel off to you?" He asked with an increasingly anxious voice. Shadow felt something, he was right. Something didn't feel right.

"Yeah. Something inside..." He trailed off. What was it that wasn't right? It felt like something inside of their bodies just shut down, something important. Not their organs or the health, but something else. Like their power, suddenly got significantly weaker. Sonic's lime green eyes widened in exasperation. Damn it, why now of all times?!

"I can feel it," Sonic whispered. "My Super form is disappearing..!" He cried. He suddenly felt another throb at his already aching head. "D-Damn it!" He uttered as he felt blood rushing into his brain again.

This time, it wasn't just Sonic.

Shadow felt and heard that, too.

Both hedgehogs, now with literally fuming headaches, gazed into each other's eyes. What was that? Who was that? It felt like another warning, but they couldn't understand. The words felt even more corrupted with every sentence. Their foreheads were hot, and sweaty. Why did hearing those messages screw them up like this? Sonic hissed while rubbing his temple. "I-I don't understand."

"Neither...do I.." The dark one panted.

"Wait, you heard it too?"

"Yes. Someone was trying to speak to me, but it all sounded jumbled and," Shadow closed his mouth shut. "Ugh," He grumbled from the trauma radiating on his cranium. Was it perhaps another language? He faintly remembered studying older languages on the ARK, but never something like that. "And our Super forms, they've lost all their power. I don't think this is permanent but, I assume it'll take a while for them to charge up."

"My head is killing me, I just wanna get some air."

"Fine." The dark hedgehog wiped the top of his forehead with the back of his arm. Didn't the festival start today? The shows Zonic talked about would start soon, if he wasn't mistaken. Sonic stood up from the bed and stretched, cracking his bones. He took a quick gander at Shadow, who watched him move his outstretched body. He started to smirk. He liked what he saw. After all, he wasn't dressed. They were in Zonic's apartment, and were getting ready to leave for the day. All he had on were his socks. Before they left, maybe they could take a quick shower together.

"Hey," Sonic put his bare hands on his hips. "Wanna take a shower real quick?"

"Absolutely." The elder continued to watch as his blue partner walked to the bathroom, wagging his finger at him to follow. Ooh, so he wanted to tease him again? Two could play at that game. Once Sonic made it in the bathroom, Shadow chaos controlled directly in front of him. The hero yelped alarmingly, not expecting the ultimate life form to teleport inside. He pulled off his gloves after clipping off his rings, tossing them aside on the tile floor. His shoes were already in the bedroom. Sonic slipped off his own socks, and once he did, Shadow grabbed his peach arm immediately.

He pulled the younger Mobian into the shower, before turning the metal knobs of the running water. He carefully made sure he put on the right temperature of water, and tested it by letting the shower head rain down on his palm. He caught Sonic trying to reach for a bottle of shower gel, but Shadow was still holding his arm. He roughly pulled him back, moving forward and pinning him against the wall with his hands up. Sonic immediately felt Shadow move his head to the side and attack his neck. His tongue dragged over the surface of his body, making him shiver. He tried not to laugh at his behavior as he moaned lightly. He knew he'd charge at him once he teased him like that.

"Mnn..A little more underneath..." Sonic smirked, he purposely made his voice sultry. All just to inch Shadow closer and closer to the edge. He felt a nibble, and then a bite at his skin, making the other jump. He gasped sharply, but then he just chuckled. "Nmm, asshole.." He felt Shadow's grip on his wrists loosen, and rub down his body. Mostly his lower torso. The hero of Mobius just wrapped his arms around the other, and laid back against the wall as he ravished him with his mouth. He obeyed what he said before, and moved more to the front. He dipped his tongue underneath his chin, and directly above his collar bone. Right against his neck. Once he did that, Sonic made the most delicious expression yet.

"A-Aaahh! Mm..!" He jerked up, gasping loudly and flinching his entire body. His head dove back instantly, feeling excruciating pleasure envelope him. He shivered with a long moan, gripping his fingers into Shadow's fur. His eyes were closed firmly, his mouth agape. His arms and his legs were shaking. That was where he liked to be touched? How did he never find this spot before? Interesting. This must have been what Rouge referred to as a G spot. Apparently it was a place that sent someone's nerves and sexual pleasure on a million. But, that was only in females. And in the case for a male, that spot was usually in the...Eh..Sonic panted hotly, his eyes dark with lust as he opened them to blankly stare at nothing. What an odd place. So that's why Sonic wanted him move his tongue there.

"So that's your weak point? To think, I could have beaten you plenty of times like this."

"I-If you did that..Every time we fought...I would have fallen for you ages ago.."

Leering at his euphoric utterance of satisfaction, the dark one's chuckle rumbled against his fur. "Really? What a pity. I could have had you more times than you can count. Every night, hearing you moaning and begging, writhing underneath me."

"Fuck, Shadow stop talkin' like that-Ahh..!"

Shadow had lowered his head and licked against something else on his chest instead. He felt Sonic's legs push against him, almost like he wanted to thrust himself against something. Shadow put his arms around his waist and lifted him up off of the shower floor. He let his blue legs tangle themselves around his torso, and lock on tightly. He pressed him against him, his crotch pushing against Sonic's pelvis. They both were getting hard. Well, Shadow was in the process of it, while Sonic was already rigid. That little neck spot of his automatically made him hard. "Tell me hedgehog," Shadow growled as he thrusted his hips against him, pressing their lengths with quick force. The wet sensation of their bodies colliding together made the pleasure increase twice as much. "How long were you planning on keeping that little place of yours a secret?"

"M-Mnn," Sonic held onto his shoulders securely. "It's not that I was keepin' it a secret," He protested. "I was just tryin' to give you a chance to find it. And let me tell ya," He breathed. "It was heaven. But don't do it again, I might, you know.."

"Maybe I want you to cum."

"S-Shadow-!"

"You think you can just show me a face like that, and not expect me to touch you there again? I want to see you make that face, but this time, I want you to scream my name while your doing it." His demands were spoken roughly and aggressively, giving Sonic a ravenous look.

"I-I...Shit..." Sonic cursed. Maybe he shouldn't have teased Shadow like that.

"Now move your head." He ordered. His voice was brutal, meaning it wasn't a request. The blue hedgehog began to sweat a bit, and not in the heat of self-indulgence. He reluctantly did as he was told, and moved his head more to the side, facing the wall while gripping his fingers more into his shoulders. He knew Shadow wasn't going to play nice. Once he stuck his tongue out, it'd be over. He clenched his eye lids and prepared himself for the worst.

Sonic had found out about his own little personal sweet spot the first time he did foreplay. The girl was kissing all over his face, while he touched her from below. Suddenly she started giggling and licked right in the middle of his neck. Sonic nearly lost his mind. Ever since then, he became extremely sensitive in that place. He never knew why, but that spot was just a danger zone for him. And now, Shadow was about to abuse that place. He felt his hot breath against him, twitching in fear at the upcoming immense pleasure. He almost squeaked at the feeling of Shadow's tongue hovering over the crook of his neck.

Then, he felt the familiar sensation of a thick, moist organ smothering against his skin.

With the gasp of a thoroughly pleased blue hedgehog, Shadow laughed to himself as he felt his hips charge against him. White shot up and splashed against his chest, his member twitching as more drops squirted onto them both. Sonic had released his grip from Shadow's shoulders, laying against the tiled wall as if he was just shot to death. His face was in pure shock, but not of pain. He was smiling, his eyes lowered and pitifully shadowed in sinful desire. His legs were opening as he was panting, revealing more of himself to Shadow as he had him cooped up on the wall. As Shadow viewed the wondrous sight of his rival's sexual high from his amazing climax, he saw something interesting.

There was a bunch of chaos energy being stored in that place. Of course, chaos energy existed in the entire body form, but it also clumped up in pressure points. The neck, or the throat, was a major chakra point in the body. Of course when Shadow studied this, the article was talking about humans, not Mobians. However, since Mobians and humans were so alike, he figured the same went for them as well. Sonic had a lot of energy in that place, so anything that would positively strike a nerve in his neck would send his impulses on overdrive. His brain was sending several messages to his body to feel pleasure over and over in seconds.

"How fascinating. You hide a lot of chaos energy here, so that's why this spot is so sensitive. I wonder, what would have happened if I focused some of my power in my tongue, then licked you there?" He smirked. "You'd probably die a very happy death, wouldn't you?"

"I...I can't take it anymore...At this rate, I'm gonna end up snapping.." Sonic managed to whimper. "If I do..." He trailed off ominously with a growing smirk. Shadow did the same, caressing his face with one hand.

"Oh? What would happen?" He challenged.

"Tch," Sonic put his hand up to Shadow's, the one that was caressing him, and held it within his own. "Wouldn't matter who's on top, cause you're the one who'd be screaming my name by the end of it."

"Oh really?" Shadow gave a chaste, but aggressive kiss onto the blue hedgehog. "You really think it would go down like that?"

"No." Sonic pulled Shadow's hand from his muzzle,held it up to his mouth, and sucked against his index finger. Shadow felt the heat between his legs get bigger and bigger. "I know so, faker." The hero darkly countered. "Even if you were the one screwing me, I'd ride you so hard, you wouldn't be able to take it. And if I topped, well...Let's just say you wouldn't last two seconds. You don't know who you're dealin' with. No matter what," He slid his tongue against the digit, "I'd make you cum so hard-"

"-God, I just want to fuck you right into this damn wall." The bionic hedgehog interrupted him with a growl, before leaning forward and engaging his mouth into his. Their tongues were unsheathed quickly, diving into each other. While they kissed, they took some time to take a breather, talking more smack. "You arrogant little hedgehog," Shadow playfully insulted while touching all over his partner. "If you want to save that 'V card' of yours, you better shut your mouth."

"Or what? Nmm," Sonic moaned as he continued to talk dirty. "You're gonna fuck me? Well too bad asshole," He reaches his hands down to smack Shadows arms off, and hopped down from his hold. "You gotta wait just like everybody else. But I'll do you a favor." Sonic put his hand between his own legs, touching himself as he got on his knees. He moved a little closer to Shadow's legs and reached his hand up against his black furred thigh. "I'll suck you off, and you can put it all in my mouth. How's that?" He suggested as he rubbed his palm underneath Shadow's length.

"Ngh.." Shadow grunted as he adverted his eyes away as he was touched. "For a hero, you've got a filthy mouth."

"Like I said," He stuck his tongue out to tease his shaft. "You don't know who you're dealing with. I had a personal life too, ya know. Mmn," He hummed as he placed the member inside his mouth.

For this moment in time, all Shadow had to do was lean back, and relax.


In white sparks of light, he saw himself in the center of No Zone's ninety degree city. He felt that his balance was a little off, but it'd wear off soon. The green hedgehog saw the hustling and bustling of people rushing from in and out of the area, hastily moving as they uttered about some kind of festival. Festival, hm? He wondered why-Ohh, wait a sec, didn't Blue help mister Robocop save the day from that Nega guy? Probably to celebrate that, or whatever. Well, it doesn't matter. He couldn't be seen like this, someone might get the wrong idea. After all, from the corner of his eye, he saw some cops on patrol already. They must be hundreds of them around.

While he wouldn't mind it, now wasn't the time to get arrested for the fourth time. He had something to do, and he couldn't be seen. He darted his eyes to a building with an alley. He could hide behind there while he changed real quick. It was in ruins, with new affixed structures of wood and a tall site built right in front of it. There were plenty of tools and machines lying around blocking the view of the alley, a perfect spot. He ran from the scene in a streak of green. Once he was hidden behind the unfinished building, his red eyes shined in delight.

He looked down at his own hands, and watched as they transformed into different limbs that weren't his own. Before long, his entire body was no longer that of Scourge the Hedgehog's, but of an everyday citizen who's native to No Zone. While changing his species, a simple, brown long eared hedgehog with grey eyes, his clothing changed with it. A simple dark brown trench coat accompanied with a matching fedora hat. His scars were gone, and he hardly looked recognizable. He whistled as he strolled from out of the alleyway. His hands in his pockets, smiling as he waved to strangers who just happened to walk by.

He had some scouting to do.


"Sonic prime got me cake, yesterday." Zonic said to no one as he poked his silver fork into the small plastic plate of cake. He still had some left over. He was in the medical ward, sitting in the room 304. The heart monitor beeped quietly, barely bothering him as the room fell silent after each time. He sat in one of the chairs beside the hospital bed, that was pulled up right in front of the patient. Right by the window, where the sun shined through. The warmth of it made the commander comfortable in such a drab room. As he placed another piece of sweetness into his mouth, he looked over at the patient in the bed. Zonic smiled, placing his fork down. "I wonder what you're dreaming about. Or if you're even dreaming at all, first lieutenant general." He addressed fondly.

The coma induced man who lied in that bed, stared up at the ceiling soullessly.

Zonic noticed, his body was getting worse. His eyes were bloodshot for some reason, and the veins in them were very visible. His eyes seemed to roll farther behind his head everyday he visited. He looked like he was choked to death, with the exception of blueness in the face. His muzzle wasn't the tan color it was supposed to be, and looked almost paler than Sonic's prime peach muzzle. His former scarlet eyes, were now burgundy, almost brown. He was fighting for his life every second he needed to inhale and exhale. He looked like he wanted to rot, but the doctors refused. They still kept him on life support, with the tubes and wires stuck inside of him, the only things keeping him alive at this point. He was barely hanging on, and his condition was getting worse.

Despite his corpse-looking appearance, Zonic wasn't bothered by it. He just leaned over, placing a kiss on the side of his cheek.

...

...He was cold.

Ahahaha.

Hahahahahaha.

Aahh~ What was I just thinking again...? Oh yeah! Zhadow was fine. He'll be out of here in no time. He just continued to smile, and looked back over to his slice of cake to eat another piece. Nmm mmn, just scrumptious.

"I know I didn't say it before you left," He said after he swallowed his final piece. "But I still want to say," He took his hand from his plate, and reached over to touch and grasp his lover's hand.

He was freezing.

No, he was warm. Warm, warm, warm...Alive, warm, waaarrrmmm...

"I love you, Zhadow." He whispered.

Again, to no one.

He hoped the festival was coming along nicely. After all, the HQ paid good money to see it happen. Hopefully Sonic prime would have a nice time with Shadow prime.

And maybe they won't make the same, stupid mistake that they made.


"Hoooollllyy craaaaap!" Sonic gasped.

The festival was on in No Zone, and it was beautiful!

Sonic noticed the futuristic city made a change for the better, transforming the entire town into a more modernized civilization. And by that, he meant that the city looked more like Mobius prime. It looked, homey, and normal. Buildings were decorated with multicolored lights. From their windows to their roofs, they were it up gorgeously. Up in the skies were helicopters or small planes with banners flowing in the air. They read 'Celebrate!' or, '1st Annual Anniversary!' There were drones in the skies accompanying them that shot out confetti and streamers onto the grounds below, a little at a time. So the streets and pavements were soon covered in sparkly icons.

Certain businesses were shut down to celebrate, but local stores were proud to be open. Clothing stores, bakeries, restaurants or anything else that gave people goods were happily open. The festival would be the best time to have your shop up and running. The shops even had a theme dedicated to the festival, selling anything that had to do with Eggman Nega's defeat, the Zone Cops, or the blue hero himself.

Performers were being ushered to the center of town, and there were people setting up nearby carnivals and opening up arcades. It was basically Mardi Gras. Everyone except for those in No Zone Corp had the next three days off. School was out, people were off of work, had shorter hours or worked from home.

The security was extremely tight throughout the entire zone, and officers on patrol were scanning for the slightest sign of suspicion. If you didn't have identification papers, you couldn't really go anywhere. Zonic hadn't informed them not too long ago that even they needed their own ID's to prove they weren't impostors. Thankfully, they were already printed up and sent to the apartment before they left, so they had them in their quills if they needed to pull them out.

Any cop who looked their way, Sonic and Shadow flashed them an ID before putting them away. As they looked around, they were filled with a sense of opportunity. What could they do? There was so much to do! Food stands, stores on sale, carnivals, amusement rides were setting up...Where would they start?

Then something hit Sonic. What did Shadow want?

He slowly looked at the ultimate life form, who looked more confused than excited. All of these colors, all of these people in one place, all of this celebration, he probably wasn't used to it. He was probably intimidated by all this, even though he'd never admit it. He probably wanted to go right back to the apartment and stay inside until it was over. Sonic asked him something, before they walked any further down the street. He held his peach arm out, his gloved hand grasping his black and red striped arm. "Shadow." He said his name calmly. "If this isn't your thing, we can go back."

The dark one noticed the tone in the younger one's voice. He was worried for him. He was worried that he couldn't get used to this. That he was too, alien, for this. Well, he was sure Sonic wouldn't use that word specifically, but that's basically what it seemed like. He needed to show him that he wasn't scared. Sure, this was a bit much for him, but it wasn't too much. He could deal with this, some how. Especially if he was there with him. "I'm fine. Let's just keep going." He gently took his hand off of his arm. "Just, take us to where you want to go first."

"You sure..?"

"Yes."

"Okay. But just let me know." The hero gave him a smile, before turning and walking in the direction of one of the stores along the street. They moved past toy stands and performers rushing to their appropriate areas. Soon, Sonic had pulled Shadow into a clothing store. He was perplexed. Why take them here? They didn't wear clothes. But before he could protest, Sonic had already ran to a rack full of hoodies. Ironically, it had his own blue icon on it. Shadow just shook his head. Of course that idiot would want merchandise of himself.

Shadow then heard static. He reached his hand in his own quills and pulled out a transmitter from the commander. He listened in before responding. "Shadow prime?" He heard Sonic's twin say.

"Yes, commander?"

"There you are. Excellent news. The warden finally figured out the problem in my monitors. They are being cleaned up of any bad data as we speak, and they should be functional the day after the festival."

Thank goodness. So his monitors would be working in the next three days. That was good news. "That's perfect. Anything else?"

"Yes. In the next twenty minutes, the show will be ready. I need you and Sonic prime to stay within the city area, preferably in the center. You will be picked up."

"Picked up?"

"Yes. Let it never be said that I break my promises. I promised you both good seats, didn't I?"

"Err, yes but-"

"Great. Be ready in twenty minutes."

The connection ended with another short sound of static. Shadow just sighed and placed it back in his quills. He then realized Sonic still wasn't back. Where did that moron go? "Faker?" He called, earning odd stares from others in the store. He just rolled his eyes at the attention and kept moving in the direction of where he previously saw the hero. "Faker." He said again with more of a groan. Of course he'd lose him in this war zone of fabric and cotton. He looked through and over the hoodie rack, but he wasn't there."Faker-"

"Yeah?"

Shadow swiftly turned around, only to see Sonic right behind him with that same blue hoodie. It fit him rather nice. It even showed off some of the midriff of his peach stomach. "There you are. Where were you, anyway?"

He smiled at him while nodding over to the back of the clothing section. "Dressing room. Some guy tried to peak in and take pictures, though..."

The dark one squinted both eyes harshly. "...I'm sorry?" Shadow didn't quite hear that right.

"Yeah some guy, a fan I guess, was in the stall next to me watching me undress into different ones." The younger said while scratching his chin. Then he shrugged. "I mean, he wouldn't be the first person to do that, but you know how it is."

"Where is he?" He hissed with noxious venom in his voice. That in itself startled Sonic, but his vengeful expression shook him up even more. "Where is he?" He repeated more assertively this time. Sonic just flinched and held up two hands anxiously.

"Now hold on Shadow, let's calm down-"

"I won't ask you again."

"Hold on, damn it! You're gonna try to kill him!"

"There is no 'try', I will kill him!"

"No, you can't! 'Cause Zonic's gonna kill you in return!"

"I'll take my chances."

"Well I'm not gonna let ya, cause I think I like having you being able to breathe, versus being six feet under No Zone Prison!" After he said that, he saw his partner was still fuming red. Geez, Shadow was possessive. It was cute in a way, and actually a little hot, but it was also very annoying. God forbid the guy groped him or something, he just wanted a picture or two. It was paparazzi. "Look," He placed his, for some reason, bare peach hand on the side of his tanner muzzle. He leaned closer and stole a quick kiss to calm his nerves. "I'm used to it. It's just paparazzi. I get that a lot. He didn't touch me or anything. I swear."

Shadow wouldn't say anything, his eyes were just somewhere else. Then, he slowly looked into his green eyes with a want for sincerity. "And you're sure he didn't touch you?"

"I swear to Chaos, or whatever the hell's up there." He pulled Shadow's hand closer to his chest, making his gloved fingers brush against the zipper of his hoodie. "And if you think I'm lying, you can always punish me~"

"..You're tempting me again. And I really don't want to embarrass the both of us by shoving you on the floor, with your ass facing upwards."

"Riiiight.." Sonic easily let go of Shadow's hand and cleared his throat. Right, teasing Shadow was never a good idea. Unless he was in the mood, but Sonic wasn't in the mood right now. "Buuuut!" He held up a finger and disappeared in a blue flash with wind hitting his face. After less than a second, he rushed right back to him, standing in front of him with a huge grin on his face. Shadow became skeptical, until Sonic held up a shiny black leather jacket. There was red lining inside, and there was fur on the collar, and there was a hood to it with holes for the ears. "I gotcha this!"

Now, it put a bit of a bad taste in his mouth because it reminded him of Scourge, but it still looked really nice! It was sleek, fashionable, and dare he say it, actually cool. And, Sonic paid for it. It was a gift from him. That just makes it even better. He really wanted to wear it, now. Shadow held out both hands, and Sonic placed it in his hold. The jacket was a little heavy, but not too heavy. The material was strong and thick, but not rigid. He put it around himself and slipped his arms through the sleeves. It fit him flawlessly. This was just his size.

In so little words, he loved it.

"You like it?" Sonic almost hopped and down when he asked that.

"I...Yes, I do." Shadow tugged on it. It definitely wouldn't tear easily. "It's, nice." He said softly.

"Sweet!" The hero cheered. "It was on sale too. Pretty snazzy deal." He pushed his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. "I'm just glad nobody has to wear pants around here. They make you feel trapped, ya know? I know some places won't even let you step foot into-Shadow?" Sonic noticed his silence and glanced at him. He was looking at the sleeve of the jacket, but he couldn't read his face. But his cheeks were a bit red. He guessed that was his way of being flustered. Aw, his little heart must have skipped a beat. "You okay over there?"

"Yeah." He replied quietly. He looked away while taking his hand away from the sleeve. "Thank you, but you didn't have to do that."

"You know how I am. Besides, this is my first time buying you somethin'. No harm done."

Shadow bit the inside of his cheek. God damn it, why was it so hard to keep his cool around this idiot all of a sudden? He, really didn't have to go and do that. Shadow almost wished he didn't because, now his chest was warm. And so was his face. He was tempted to zip the jacket all the way up until the furred collar covered his face. He couldn't let this faker make a habit of making him speechless all the time! So he made a ghost of a smile, before requesting something that'd surely blow him away. "Sonic?" He used his name seriously.

Noticing that, Sonic's eyes blinked a few times, watching as the other unclipped his rings and gloves. He then chaos controlled the accessories elsewhere in small flashes of green light. The hero rose a brow. "Uh, yeah?"

"When we leave," Shadow held out his hand to him. "Would you like to hold my hand?" He asked with an angelic smile.

Sonic the Hedgehog then felt his own heart shoot up right into his throat, before plummeting back down into the bottom of his stomach.

Huh? Why was this so baffling? He had girls ask him that so many times.

So why did he...Why..Did he feel his heart beating a million miles per second?

And why did he feel so warm?

Was it that question? Was it that smile? Or was it just-

...Shadow?


END - 20

I'm very sorry that there's been a lack of action, but I promise that will change soon. Please be patient, and you will be satisfied. Trust me. Maybe a little too satisfied...

Anyway, so yeah, Shadow's possessive. Zonic's going insane, and Sonic's absolutely oblivious to the destruction of his world. As for Scourge, this is his reason as to why he wants to cause misery. There's a lot of layers to his reasoning, but the beginning of the chapter tells the main reason.

Will things get better for Mobius? Who knows.

So let's get to the bonus time, shall we? There's only one for this chapter, but it can also serve as a clue.

1. Sonic has a big source of chaos energy in his neck. Scourge's energy is in his *******.

Oh and by the way, you all are guessing liars in the story. All the people you guys have named so far isn't the liar that I'm hinting at. Whoever this liar is, this info will be important in the future.

Oh yeah, and there's another weird thing being posted after this. It's not important to the story or anything, you can totally just ignore it...
