"Are you ready?" Shadow asked as Sonic stared into oblivion.
"Yes, I am ready." Sonic responded quickly.
"Right, well here we go." Shadow got a projector ready.
"As you know, the chaos emeralds fuel our world and are very valuable to us, and even more so in the wrong hands. Knuckles and Rouge do a good job of protecting them, and I understand that they are your friends. However, there is a new way to obtain their power if not more strong than normal, and to harness their power into an evil experiment, much more dark than your mind control implement.
"What we could do with this power is beyond me, Sonic. I don't know what it could possibly lead to. But I DO know how to get these elements of the chaos powers, and I DO know that, with this amount of energy, we can destroy everything in our path. We can renew the world. We can destroy our enemies and control the world just as we desire.
"But the process that leads to it might make you uncomfortable, my blue friend."
"What might that be?"
"First of all, the power sources are contained within all of your friends and enemies. Of course, the enemies are easy to hurt and drain the power from, however I imagine that people such as Knuckles and Amy would not be as simple for you. However, I will emphasise to you, that doing this will not kill the person, simply remove their strength given by the chaos emeralds in the past."
"Go on," Sonic urged.
Shadow smiled.
"You and I must become paired mentally to hatch this scheme."
Sonic gasped. "What? Why?"
"Considering your mind control is unstable and you can change at any minute, I cannot trust my valuable information or schemes with the real Sonic. The real Sonic could tell Amy, and then Amy could design a counter attack... And also, the energy within us is the greatest. If we connect together and drain the other power from everyone and harness a large energy ball, so to speak, we can use this AND our own mental connection to carry out our plans."
"But then there's no Real Sonic, ever again. Not that I care - but think of Amy." Sonic looked at Amy as she slept. "She loves the real Sonic, not me. It would hurt her too much. That's the one thing I can't do."
"Ah Sonic, you're forgetting one thing." Shadow pointed to the computer. "Mind control. And, your favourite technique, manipulation. I mean come on, how hard can it be for her to fall for someone who looks just like you, walks like you and thinks similar to you, just in a darker way?"
"Well, I guess you're right, Shadow." Sonic smiled and helped Shadow pinpoint the exact locations of all the Chaos emeralds' hosts.
"Until I can connect with you, Sonic, I need you to be tied down next to Amy when you sleep. I can't have the real Sonic becoming awake and trying to steal the information and the girl, can I?"
"Of course." Sonic smiled. But just because he was now evilly inclined, didn't mean that he wanted to jump on board with whichever villain became most interested.
