FaithMcKoy: Probably. After all, he wouldn't just take the fact he would survive and have Sonic at his mercy.
MarioMan314: Lol, I don't think they're going to die per se, but seriously injured is a possibility ;) Gotta keep them alive for more torture.
Tikal was silent, watching the ocean as she hovered above the sand. After all these years... that crystal came back. An item she had banished into the far ends of the galaxy.
A gem filled with the darkest emotions she had extracted from it.
But... it was misunderstood. She knew that. How she had forgiven it from killing off more than eighty percent of the echidnas? That was one of the biggest mysteries. However... she knew it regretted its actions. She couldn't count how many times she saw Raxaga crying, full-on sobbing even.
But for the crystal to come this early was shocking. It was supposed to be in 10,000 years, no less.
She felt the ocean shift, the tide growing weaker as the water retreated back a few feet. The echidna sighed, turning around. "I've been unable to help you for all these years, and now... I will change that."
She then teleported, leaving the coast.
It had been hours.
Sonic was still trapped inside of the cage, having been left alone with the doctor.
'Those fools... why would they leave him alone?! He's going to try something!" Sonic thought, growling lowly as his gaze never left Eggman.
The doctor could feel the hedgehog's gaze on him, and he only smirked as his back faced him. "Shut it, rodent. Growling like a feral dog isn't going to help you at all."
If looks could kill, Eggman would've dropped dead on the spot.
He looked at the computer for the 23rd time, still observing the readings being shown on the monitor.
He pressed a few buttons as machines popped out inside of the cage.
"Now stay still, rat, and I'll extract the energies from you." The doctor said, smirking.
Drills inched closer to the jewel in Sonic's chest, and he started to hyperventilate. His breathing became labored, and he clawed at the walls of the unit.
Eggman laughed evilly, loving the sight of his arch-nemesis suffering.
Sonic's eyes slit at the sight of Eggman his nostrils flared not unlike a savage beast. The gem shattered into millions of pieces as the unit exploded, the doctor shouting in fright as he was knocked backward into the hallway. The walls exploded due to the sheer force of the blast, disintegrating.
Silver and Shadow ran out of the library, with Knuckles following behind.
Eggman coughed, wiping away debris from his face as Shadow tried to look through the massive cloud of dust.
The cloud cleared, and as soon as Knuckles saw Sonic his blood ran cold. He fell onto his knees in terror, trembling.
The hedgehog was an incredibly dark shade of blue, his emerald eyes glowing ominously as they flashed dangerously. Several scars along his chest showed themselves as they glowed a deep crimson, nearly blinding all three of the mobians. His wings were just like that of a dragon's; massive, leathery, and dark blue. His teeth gleamed, jagged. The hedgehog's tail grew several feet, sharp spikes growing along the edge of the appendage. Finally, there were two enormous black horns behind his ears as blue electricity crackling around them.
Sonic grinned viciously, unsheathing his claws as he looked at Eggman, who was cowering at the sight of the monster.
Knuckles kept his eyes on the beast, shaking uncontrollably as he balled his fists.
"It's him..." He muttered, still staring at the monster in horror. His mind could barely process what was in front of him. His rival... his friend...
"It's the Dark One." He said in disbelief... until his face twisted into one of hate.
"YOU MONSTER!" He screamed, running towards him, reading a fist, and aiming for his head.
His arm was grabbed, claws digging into it as the echidna gasped in pain and surprise. "You really think I would've fallen for that?" He snarled as Knuckles shuddered, staring at him.
He tossed him aside, sending him crashing into the ground. He glared at the monster as he slowly approached Eggman.
Shadow looked at him silently, before dashing towards him, standing in front of Eggman.
"..."
He kept his eyes connected with Sonic's, never leaving his despite the fact the creature was twice his height. They stared at each other for a few minutes as Silver slowly crept up to them, reading his psychokinesis.
Sonic then rammed Shadow in his side, earning a grunt as the ebony fell to the ground. He quickly recovered, rolling to the side to avoid an oncoming foot before swiftly drop-kicking the monster, aiming a quick punch to the head.
The hedgehog snarled, flaring out his wings and flying upwards. He summoned his sword, the blade glowing brightly as the crimson aura erupted from the sword.
"Enough of the games... let's get this over with."
He flew down, expecting to hit Shadow. However, he only struck the ground.
Shadow was holding a Chaos Emerald, smirking at him. "Looks like you forgot to take away my connection, Faker."
He snarled, running towards him until suddenly freezing. He growled like a feral dog, looking around to find the source only to find Silver frowning.
"Sonic, stop doing this. We can find a solution to this if you just calm down." The albino hedgehog said, keeping his telekinetic grip on him as much as he could.
He roared, breaking free of the grasp with a simple jerk of his wings. Sonic snarled at both of the hedgehogs, eyes switching sizes every few seconds.
His horns flashed, forming a massive ball of electricity. The electric-blue ball grew larger by the second, crackling with the raw electric power that was growing stronger.
Silver's eyes widened, and he backed away as Knuckles and Shadow stood there ground. Eggman cowered, running and hiding behind a slab of metal.
"TAKE THIS!" Sonic roared, firing the ball directly at the trio.
A massive explosion decimated the base.
