Space: the final frontier.
A peaceful place, though that was no doubt attributed to the fact that sound usually has a tad bit of difficulty traveling through the void and the void usually is a very difficult place to harbor a battle ship. Usually.
Which made the battleship in space, courtesy of the Eggman Empire, a rather concerning anomaly indeed. Even more so when considering that it's leader, Ivo Robotnik, has an obsessive aesthetic for world domination and amusement parks, which had a tendency of coming hand in hand.
So luckily for everyone else on Mobius, a hero known as Sonic (or "that blue bastard" depending on who you were talking to) made it his job to stop the mad scientist. Which was why he was on that very same battleship, cocky smirk and all.
Sirens wailed in the background (somehow), as the deck of the battleship filled with robots, all of them with their guns trained on the hedgehog. Well, they didn't really get much further than that as the blue blur sped through them, causing impossible explosions as he destroyed them in his path. Bullets followed his footsteps with blinding flashes from the turrets in front of him as he continued forward. Seeing that his robots were stopping the hedgehog about as effectively a wad of cotton candy, Eggman activated his mech to face the hero head on.
"Why you little…" Eggman growled under his breath as his missiles and bullets failed to meet their target, letting the hedgehog continued onwards without so much of a scratch. "You're not getting away!"
Contrary to the fact, Sonic had very much been 'getting away' and would have succeeded in doing so had he expected the mech's arm to stretch after him. Unfortunately, he didn't, and was only allowed a small "Wuh-oh" before being bodily grabbed and yanked back in the mech's grasp.
As Eggman examined his captured prize (mainly out of shock that things were actually somewhat going as he planned), his nemesis only gave him a smirk as a warning, before the Chaos Emeralds flashed into existence around him. The mad man hastily tried to smother the hedgehog, and for his efforts was rewarded with Super Sonic blowing off both of the mech's arms with his transformation alone. Said hedgehog also promptly punctured a hole through said mech's torso, and Eggman took it as a good time to bail.
"Uh-oh, time to go!"
He ejected his pod from the mech as he tried to get a head start, metal doors slamming shut behind him in a seemingly desperate attempt to stall the now golden hedgehog. It didn't do much, as the hedgehog was right behind his heels. Eggman paid little attention to him as he hurried into a metallic room, tumbling out of his pod and across the floor.
Seconds later, Sonic flew in with all his golden splendor.
"S-Sonic!" Eggman stuttered. "I-I'm sorry! Really! L-look, go easy on me! I'll turn over a new leaf, I swear!"
"Well, this is new," Sonic replied with a smirk. "Showing remorse, Eggman? If you played nice I wouldn't have to break all your toys."
He was given no time to react as Eggman pressed a button tight in his grip. Sonic had barely registered the probes folding out of the floor, moving far too late before being snatched up by electrical bounds. He glared at Eggman as the madman cackled and was elevated to a control panel. He screamed as his binds went from really inconvenient to extremely painful, only vaguely noticing the chaos emeralds that flew out of him had become dull and lifeless. Sonic gave one last struggle before slumping, and his world went dark.
With the blue hero now unconscious, Eggman turned all of his attention to the lazer blaster just outside the room. With a press of a button and a victorious cry of "Fire!", a violet beam cut through the vacuum of space. The madman couldn't help but feel awestruck as the planet seemed to shatter as if it were an extremely large ceramic globe.
Nobody noticed the now purple electricity turning and warping the hero of Mobius, his fur becoming darker, his gloves being shredded by claws, his teeth sharpening to fangs. And deep in his mind, a presence was forming, one that gradually shifted the hedgehog's conscience to the side.
In the place where Sonic had been, a new being was born.
Now imagine that you've just been created and your brain decided to give you a crash course on the basics of sentient existence right then and there; how to think, how to rudimentarily observe your surroundings, how a few of your bodily functions work, etc. So, you decide to make use of your newfound skills.
You wake up onto...something. You mentally label it as cold, hard, and generally uncomfortable to lay on. So you try to get up, with minimal success, and now had one arm half bent in an aborted attempt to push yourself up from the ground and your other arm supporting the rest of your weight with the forearm serving as a base. You open your eyes, your subconscious noting that you were in a metallic room with three metallic thingamabobs surrounding your general vicinity and a huge window to the void just at the end of your peripheral vision. Your conscious, however, was currently being assaulted with the visual of a person with the proportions of bowling ball with chopsticks as limbs and a grape for a head. And while you're at it, what are grapes? What is a bowling bowl? What are chopsticks? And more importantly, in fact, most importantly, what do any of them have to do with the person standing in front of you?
Essentially in a nutshell, this being had woken up in an unfamiliar place, whose brain was make references to unfamiliar objects, and was generally unfamiliar with this whole "existing" business. Needless to say, it was confused.
It wasn't given much time to contemplate its confusion as the person in front of him proceeded to interrupt it's train of thought.
"Ah, Sonic. That's a good look for you. Festive!" The being flinched as the man slammed his hand on a button on his control panel. "So long, friend." The man said mockingly, and suddenly the being felt the very air itself pulling him into the void. Its claws gouged the floor before its grip finally failed it, leaving it free-falling towards the now shattered planet below.
