Author: Hey. Yes. Alive. Never better. Now, let me explain, I didn't make atleast a Christmas special or New year's special either. I'm lazy making those stories plus I decided to make them this year of 2019 for atleast an experience. Also, school has been a pain and me being lazy is also stupid. I can't thank enough for those readers that kept reading and supporting the story even though the author is a complete mess and lazy. Again, I'm not gonna make anymore apologies, the good thing is that I'm still working this story because I still have the ideas for this story to go on. Happy New Year!

Chapter 25: The Dark Chaos Begins

Sonic's POV

My head hurts… I'm not sure what's going on but I tried to reach for my head but I can't seem to move my arms freely. It's like my hands are cuffed or chained? I tried to open my eyes and I groan from pain. Damn. Never thought that sleeping would be this painful. It's really weird to be awakening at a painful state. Why is that? I slowly opened my hands to see for myself what is happening. I heard someone chattering. I can't hear them clearly but I tried to wake up. For a second, my view starts to get clearer. I'm in a room with full of guards and Silver? Apparently, Silver was talking to the one of the guards. He seems, serious.

"He's awake!" One of the guards called out, looks like he noticed me.

"Quick, call the princesses!" The other requested and someone followed it.

"Princesses? I must be on Canterlot, but why?" I asked myself.

I was shock to see that the guards point their spears at me. What did I do? This must be a prank or something. Silver looked at me angry and mad.

"You have a lot of nerves to be awake Sonic!" Silver said. This is definitely not a prank.

"What are you talking about?" I asked and as I tried to move, I remembered that my arms are cuffed with chains glowing in purple and light colors. "What is the meaning of this?" I asked him curiously only turning him to his magic form.

"It's a good thing that she survived. I can't believe a friend of mine is a monster! This would be better if I end you right here! Right now!" Silver said as he point out his palm at my face. A golden orb appeared in his hand.

"Silver? W-What did I exactly have done?" I asked again but looks he wouldn't answer me.

Silver motioned his hands that he is about to fire of that orb at point blank. I couldn't freely move because the chains in my arms stretching them wide. I struggled hardly but then a guard holds his shoulder. Silver looked at the guard and Silver lowers his hand and his orb in his hand disperse.

For a few minutes a guard opens the doors with the two rulers of Equestria entered the room, along with them are Shadow, Pinkie, Appejack, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow.

No one's POV

Sonic looked at the girls and judging at their faces some are afraid and some are angry. He still pondered why but then he receive a punch out of nowhere.

"Shadow! What are you doing?" Celestia questioned the hedgehog but she felt deep anger inside of him.

"Just trying to bring the dark energy out of him." Shadow twists his wrist from the punch that he did to Sonic.

"Sonic…" Twilight felt sorry for what is going to Sonic. She clenches her fist on trying to sustain her feelings.

Sonic regains himself and coughs blood out of him. "W-What was that for?"

"Didn't you remember faker? Like I said, I won't hesitate to stop or kill you when you caused havoc or destruction." Shadow crossed his arms and glares at Sonic furiously.

"Caused havoc? *cough* what do you mean?" Sonic tried to look at the princesses for answers but it seems that Luna is also glaring at him.

"Don't you remember anything Sonic?" Celestia kindly asked but Silver burst out of anger again.

"Why do you intend to be nice to him Princess?! He almost killed Rarity and so does the rest of the citizens in Ponyville!" Silver's eyes glowed and his hand started to glow with an energy ball forming.

The girls and some of the guards tried to stop Silver from his outburst. Sonic looks at them all worry. Shadow then took a notice of this and he put his fingers on Sonic's chin.

"Look at me, faker. You should be thanking the Princess Sparkle for saving you. Without her, I would have put your miseries over." Shadow said as he remembered the night that it happened.

-Flashback- (Shadow's POV)

I was sleeping normally when I heard these explosions. I woke up and looked at the open window that has a clear view of Ponyville. I immediately knew something worse is happening. I heard the door opened from Applejack's home and she walked out. She looked at me in fear. I quickly jump out of the window and landed beside her.

"Shadow! The Ponyville is in danger!" She told me,

"I know. Something bad or worse is happening." I heard a gust of wind blew in a certain direction. I looked up and saw the rainbow blur flying straight at the burning Ponyville.

I looked at Applejack who seemed to look ready and nod at me. I put my hand on her shoulder and closed my eyes to concentrate. I shouted, "Chaos Control!"

That technique had sent Applejack and me to the scene. As we got there, I was in shock to see the buildings burning and tons of craters ruining the landmass. I couldn't speak and as I look at the cowgirl, she covered her mouth in shock to what she is seeing.

I looked again infront of me and noticed that the rainbow blur flew through the middle of the town. I quickly followed that blur. I knew that I had to leave Applejack to make her comeback to her senses and act on her own. I'm starting to figure out who caused all of this and while I'm pondering, True Chaos appeared beside me.

"Shadow, I'm feeling a strong dark chaos energy right in the middle." He told me.

"I know, it might be from someone I know." I replied at him back.

"He is at a very low state for now. Finish him with no hesitation." He ordered me.

I didn't want to reply at him because I dislike anyone who orders me around all time. I rolled my eyes and focused on what I should do. He disappeared after he told me that which is relieving. I manage to get to the center of the energy where I'm sensing. I look around me and saw nothing, but then I noticed some flash of rays happening above me. I looked up and saw that the cyan rainbow-haired girl is fighting a golden figure.

I expected it to be the source and then the golden figure fired an energy ball, which the cyan girl follows. I wondered why she followed it but it's my chance to attack it now. I powered up and change my form to True Chaos, my magic form, and fly directly at the figure.

As I got closer, I heard it's laughing and I quickly set the thrusters to max and punch him directly at his chin. The golden figure lost his balance so I went for a quick jab on the stomach and then a follow up of a smash that caused him to fly downwards. It created a crater and the golden figure is painfully damage. I landed in front of him and before he stood, I raised my hand and point my palm at him. A purple magic flame discharge out of it burning him down. I walked closer to him but when I got closer, a hand came out of the flame and almost strike me. From my observation, that hand has claws in it. As the fire went off, the figure stood and smile at me.

I wasn't surprise when that figure reminded me of someone I knew because I was right that these guys where about to show up. Fleetway faker and . I really remember that face of black bloody red eyes with bloody tears and that sharp teeth and that sharp claws. So does Fleetway with it's maniacal laughter about freedom. The Exe lunges at me with it's speed but I knew about it's attacks and they are pointless now against me. I dodge it very easily and I kicked at him straight at the face. It pushed him back to a corner and caused crater. He tried to dash and perform a sneak attack, but due to his desperate thirst of killing, I easily moved out of the way and dodge it again. Again. And again. Until an opening has created for me to strike him with my chaos magic. A spear formed in my hand pinning him to wall. He screamed in pain and he transformed to Fleetway, he used his eyes to fire a laser at me but I just deflect it with my bare hands.

I raised my hand in the sky and a fireball is starting to grow out of it, "I told you faker, I won't hesitate to stop you. But I guess, I won't hesitate to kill you either." I was about to throw the attack until a familiar someone landed and spread her arms.

"I won't let you kill him." She pleaded at me with her tears.

"Are you blind to what he had done? HE caused havoc, chaos and destruction to Ponyville, and still you want me to give mercy." I wanted to kill him badly but I can't risk a life of someone else either.

"Please, I will cure him. The Elements of Harmony are the best-suited weapon against him. It will bring him back to normal, I promise!" She pleaded to me again, but this time she lowered her head for acceptance.

I looked at the demonic creature and it seems to me that I knocked him out. I am starting to regret the actions I'm about to take, but I guess I did made a promise, and I'm going to keep it. The fireball shrunk and I lower down my hand.

"Stand up, princess." I commanded her.

"T-Thank yo-"

"Don't thank me yet. Thank me, when you cured him. As far I'm concern, I need the seven chaos emeralds to bring him back. But since we only have five, I trust you to cure him. Permanently." I mean to what I said.

She nodded at me and tried to wipe her tears. I looked at her weakly. I sighed for taking that action but I got distracted as I heard Silver's scream. Before I fly off, I looked at the princess.

"Princess Twilight. I trust you this time to lock him. Cancel his energy with the skills I taught you." I told her and she gave me a nod again. I nodded her back and flew towards to the scream.

-Flashback Ends-

"Now you know, the cause." Shadow said as Sonic is seemingly shocked about it.

"I did all of those destruction?" Sonic looked down as he found the story hard to believe.

"Yes, and after I went to Silver's scream, I found out that the energy ball is a distraction for Rainbow that is sent to kill one of her friends." Shadow said which Sonic then widen his eyes.

"Where's Rarity?" Sonic quickly asked Shadow but he sighed and refused to answer, "Hey, Shadow!"

"Sonic the Hedgehog." A voice called him.

Sonic looked at the one who called, it was Celestia.

"You are bound and chain by these holy chains that will judge of who you truly are. If you showed us your innocence or your body is just being controlled. We will know, and if not and break free again, there won't be a second chance." Celestia said as she glances at Twilight.

Twilight noticed this and looked down to avoid the look of the princess.

"I will leave you alone to think about your answer towards for your sake. Goodluck then." She said as Luna followed her back and so does Shadow. The other guards and girls are trying to bring Silver out of the room.

Twilight started to follow them but she was stop by Applejack.

"Talk to him, Twilight." Applejack puts her hand on Twilight's shoulder.

"H-Huh? What do you mean?" Twilight looked at Applejack with a confused look.

"I just noticed you looked all worried and everythin'. I suggest ya, to talk to him before things might get crazy and about your plan to rescuing him." Applejack smiles at Twilight knowing that Twilight will get the call.

"I… okay. Thanks, Applejack." Twilight smiled back and Applejack nodded.

"Any time, sugarcube." She adjusted her hat and leave her be.

Twilight agreed to what her friend said and she went back inside to the room where Sonic was. She looked at him and she felt a heavy pain that she couldn't understand. Sonic is looking down with the chains spreading his arms. Twilight could feel the empty atmosphere lingering around. She didn't want to leave him like this so she stepped forward.

"S-Sonic?" Twilight approaches the chained hedgehog slowly.

Sonic slowly raised his head to see Twilight. His expression changes to happiness but quickly faded away. He then looked down before he spoke, "What are you doing here, Twilight? Shouldn't you be staying away from me because I'm a monster?"

"Don't say that! You're not a monster, don't let the words of others get to you." Twilight puts her hand in Sonic's head.

"Why… why save me? Fleetway and Exe are two dangerous forms that are embodied inside of me. Only to be free if I used too much chaos energy." Sonic moves his head away from Twilight's touch.

Twilight then started to feel hopeless, but she didn't stop, "I can save you. I know Shadow failed to rescue you back then. Sonic, this is not Mobius that those creatures to be free and cause havoc. This is Equestria where magic is everything. I could find a spell that can he-"

"Wait a minute. Why Mobius got into this? Why bring up Shadow?" Sonic's voice gotten colder and darker tone.

Twilight is starting to feel fear and a heavy feeling, "I-I mean, if Shadow didn't find a cure to you… maybe I can?"

"FOOL!" Sonic yelled out at Twilight that made her gasped. The chains held back Sonic and went back to his state. "Chaos. Everything. Pain! Suffering! Torture! Those are the experiences that I manage to hold back! I-I almost killed Tails… and K-Knuckles… and Amy…"

Twilight slowly taking an approach, she tried to make an action but she can't shake off the fear inside her. "What happened to you Sonic…? You're not like this weak."

Twilight slowly approaches Sonic but then he tried to tackle Twilight but the chains stopped him. "WRaggh! Rahhh!"

Twilight took a step back. A sweat starts to pour out of her forehead. She wipes it off and then she starts to feel that the room is starting to get darker. Twilight noticed that the sun is going down. As she is kept staring at him, she couldn't find the true Sonic that she once knew.

"Kill! Chaos! Freedom!" Sonic kept shouting in a different tone of voice.

"Maybe that mind spell I once did to save my friends from Discord might help…" Twilight thought of herself. So she took a slow approach.

Sonic looked at her and it seems that is starting to bite her but the chains are making him stop. Twilight took a deep breath and sits in front of Sonic.

"This might hurt a little Sonic." Twilight closed her eyes and she lift her hands to form a hand sign. Twilight concentrates and Sonic started to get irritated.

The noise kept growing from Sonic and then Twilight opens her eyes revealing pure light eyes. The room then turned into a white room. Twilight then opens her eyes in that said white room. Looking around and nothing to see in her view.

"H-Hello? Sonic? Anyone?" Twilight looked left and right but nothing to be seen. "I thought this spell is meant to open a memory for Sonic. But why sent me here?"

"Because you're his memory too." A familiar voice was heard behind Twilight.

Twilight quickly turns around and saw Sonic in his Werehog form.

"S-Sonic?!" Twilight questioned in surprise.

"Yeah. This is me. The Werehog. Welcome to Sonic's mind." The werehog said in a less scary way.

"Wha? What is the meaning of this? Shouldn't like memories be flying around like right now? And why are you here, not you're normal form?" Twilight has left the werehog in a confused state due to her questions.

The werehog shake his head and got to his normal state, "Alright, first things first, I'm a different soul of Sonic's. What is more, Sonic has multiple souls that he can use in his will. Some are difficult to attain and some are unattainable. This mind of his is where the souls are kept. The memory that you think is flying around is already here."

"So, you mean, that you are his memory and soul? Which is why you are here." Twilight guesses.

"Yep. That is how it is." The werehog smiles.

"But, I know there are other souls or forms that Sonic has. What happened to them?" Twilight asks.

"Something happened. Sonic's memories began to fade. One by one, burning down to an infinite burst of flames. Darkness. And chaos." The werehog said in a very serious tone.

"I don't seem to see any flames or chaos or whatever." Twilight looked around.

"Because, you are in his positive energy side. You see, Sonic's other souls are sealed for unknown reasons. Super, Excalibur, Darkspine, even that mystery form, that is unnamed, is sealed away. I can't contact them through telepathy either." The werehog said.

"Do you know anything that causes Sonic to go on a darker and a rampaging tone?" Twilight asks again.

The werehog became silent. He then stares at Twilight for a second, "Did you say, darker?"

"Y-Yeah, is something wrong?" Twilight wondered with a bit of fear.

"Twilight Sparkle, you are in grave danger. So does in the real world. You have to stop using the spell or they will get you too." The werehog said.

"What? Why? What's going on?" Twilight is starting to get more confusing.

Before the werehog would answer, a crack has opened above them. A dark mist starts to emit the place. The once said light empty room has turned into a black misty room. Twilight then noticed some emitting light that is covered in a dark veins.

"Are those…" Twilight took a quick inspection and upon discovering she took a gasped, "The memories!"

"Twilight Sparkle! Leave now!" The werehog commanded as he went to a stance.

"Wh-what? Why? What is going on?!" Twilight questions the werehog again, but before the werehog could answer, a maniacal laughter was heard.

"I smell, blood! Hehehe…"

"Freedom! It's near to my grasps!"

Two voices are heard around the mist. Twilight then took a guess of who they are.

"Fleetway, and Exe." Twilight said which then the werehog looked at her.

"There is no time to hesitate Twilight Sparkle. Leave! They'll take everything in this mind and control it." The werehog commanded again, "What is more, since you are just a memory, you'll be just a decorations just like those of memories! You're body will be soulless as well. This is a trap for those who enter the mind! Leave!"

"I-I have to fight to protect his mind! I have too!" Twilight shouted at the werehog.

"You are a fool… I guess that is why you were chosen. But that doesn't matter here. You can't harm them. Your magic here is futile. What is more, this case never happened before. Both of them at once. The results will be chaos!" The werehog said.

Twilight is left in silent to what the werehog said. 'Both at once?' 'Chosen?' 'Futile?' Before Twilight could get to her senses, a red beam was fired directly at the werehog that pushes him away. Twilight then looked at him but then sensed an attack approaching really fast. She cast her shield and then a figure made contact with the barrier that pushed Twilight aswell.

Twilight grunts but then the black figure smiled, "A collection? Hehehe…"

"Eep!" Twilight shriek and then she spread her arms that made the barrier expand and explode. The figure was bounced off. With the warnings and everything has come to her senses. She left the mind and went back to real world.

As Twilight made back to her real body. She breathed heavily and touched everything around her if she is all right. Twilight took a sight of relief.

"T-Twilight…" A voice in pain made Twilight afraid.

"Sonic!" Twilight looked at the hedgehog who is pain and trying to shake off the chains.

"Twilight! K-Kill me… now!" Sonic commanded Twilight but that command made her stunned. "Didn't you hear me?! Kill me, now!"

"Sonic! I-I can't possibly do that!" Twilight stood up and in panic she doesn't know what to say.

"Y-You ha..have to… I do-don't know… f-for how long, I-I can keep them aw-ay!" Sonic's voice changed at the end of his sentence.

Twilight then notices that Sonic is tearing blood. She covered her mouth and tears start to pour. She haven't gotten to know Sonic too well and never once confessed her feelings. She has to kill him or the werehog said of control everything would surely destroy everything.

"T-The elements! T-That would work!" Twilight said as she puts a hand around her crown and began to enchant. A light is starting to form out of the crown as Twilight concentrates.

"No! Stop!" Sonic commanded.

This made Twilight stopped and looked at him, "Why?! This could save you!"

"N-No…! ARGH! AHHHH!" Sonic screams and a dark aura starts to emit the field.

"Sonicccc!" Twilight tries to fight off the wave from the aura.

"T-Twilight! What ever you do! D-Don't atleast… give them… m-magic! U-Use, cha-chaos en-energy!" Sonic said as his starts to turn black.

Twilight couldn't do anything but to cry, she then has no choice but to kill him not magic but chaos energy. She then closed her and concentrates as a light spear came from her hand. She then looked at Sonic while the gust of wind blowing and circling around the room. She closed her eyes and throw the spear.

"Chaos Spear!" She shouted.

As the spear slowly gets to the hedgehog in pain. Sonic opened his one eye to see the spear flying at him but then he smiled. The spear changed his direction that made Twilight miss. Her eyes grew in surprise.

"Goodluck Twilight…. and goodbye…" Sonic said before his final words have broken free.

Twilight tried to fly towards him and shouted, "Soni-!" but she didn't finish as Sonic's body exploded in light that blinds Twilight.

It took around few minutes before Twilight recovered her eyesight. She looked around her and the room that their once where is broken. The wall pieces are scattered at the floor. Twilight can't find Sonic that is chained rather someone is floating. That floating hedgehog looked like Sonic but the quills are messy and it's slightly levitated upwards. His skin is a darker tone of blue and his gloves and socks are all tattered and covered with blood. Even the eyes are shut, the blood tears are visible and blood are also visible in the mouth as well.

"S-Sonic?" Twilight asked, but the figure smiled and laughed.

"Sonic? No no… this guy here is something I like to call..." The figure open gently his eyes revealing a black eyes with a red spiral and a glowing blood pupils, "Fleetway Exe"
