Chapter 8: REVELATIONS

Spiker just stood there, staring coldly at Dr. Eggman, his eyes wide open. Benny looked both at Spiker and Eggman amazed, and Apple had her hands in front of her mouth she was so horrified.

"Eggman." said Spiker. Eggman looked up with his usual evil smile. "Can you repeat what you've just said?"

"Why of course. I AM THE ONE WHO KILLED YOUR PARENTS." As Eggman spoke those words, something hard smashed into his stomach and he flew straight into a tree. When he looked up, he saw Spiker, his fist in front, looking at the floor.

Spiker was trembling with anger, looked up at Eggman, and his left eye turned into a red snake eye like his right eye and his canines were sticking out again. Apple recognised the beast form. Spiker was being controled by the beast inside him.

Apple ran to Spiker calling him, "Spiker! Don't let yourself go!" but he stopped her.

He held her hands. "I don't want you or Benny to get hurt by me. I can hardly controle myself, so try staying away while I'm fighting." Apple looked into Spiker's red snake eyes worried, but she trusted him. So she and Benny left Spiker and Eggman.

Spiker looked back at Eggman who was running away. "COME BACK HERE COWARD!" Spiker screamed as he ran towards Eggman. He ran behind some trees where Eggman had gone, but there was no sign of him. But then he saw above him Eggman flying his Egg Dragoon. The Dragoon shot a freezing beam at Spiker and he was now trapped in ice.

"Is that all you've got?" said Eggman. But the ice broke off Spiker, and he now controled the ice that was on him with his power. Spiker threw the ice on the Egg Dragoon and damaged it.

But Spiker was caught from behind by Eggman's Death Egg robot and couldn't move anymore. He tried getting free, but no luck. Eggman got out of his Egg Dragoon and walked towards Spiker.

"You sure are hard to hold in place." said Eggman. "But I'm sure I can do something about it." He smiled as he got a device out of his pocket.

"What's this?" asked Spiker nervously.

"This? This is a small device I shall place on your body to take control of you." he said. "You see, I neeed to expand my empire, and my first target is City 23, where your school and friends live. I have all my robots with me, but since Sonic will destroy them without hesitation, we wouldn't try hurting you. And you'll be my strongest weapon." After that, he made a loud evil laugh.

"What is this thing in me then, if you know what it is?" asked Spiker.

Eggman took a minute before answering. "This power, is the same thing that I did to Sonic to transform him into a werehog. But you're a little different. You resisted when I did the experiments on you, and I lost control of you."

"You did experiments on me!" said Spiker in anger.

"Yes. I tried transforming you into that beast that has posessed you. It contains all the evilness that every vilain Sonic has met ALL TOGETHER. Even worse than me! And this was my plan: create an unstoppable creature that only I could control! And this is what I'm going to do to you." As he said those words, Eggman hit the device onto Spiker's stomach, Spiker yelled painfully.

Apple and Benny ran to where the yell came from. But they came too late. Spiker was being controled by Eggman's device. His hair was getting thicker and longer, he was getting bigger and taller. His gloves ripped as his hands became bigger and his silver knuckles grew longer, and Spiker's white eye turned black. As he finished his mutation, he was unrecognisable. He roared so loud he could be heard miles away. Benny and Apple were horrified. All they could do was stay away. They heard from behind Eggman and Spiker robots coming their way. It was Eggman's army of robots.

"Now, come Spiker." Said Eggman. "Let's go destroy your favorite city! MOUAHAHAHAHA!" as he, Spiker and the robot army were on their way to City 23.

Apple and Benny ran as fast as they could to get to the city before them and warn everybody that Eggman was coming. After that, they told the Sonic team that Spiker was part of the army and explained what happened.

"We have to stop Eggman before it's too late. And Spiker too." Sonic said.

"Are you crazy!" interupted Knuckles. "He's our friend, and we need to help him to gain control of himself!"

"But how are we even supposed to get to that divice thing? He'll kill us!"

"What we could do..." started Benny, "...is all the tough guys of the team will catch Spiker and hold him down, and one of the others try hitting and destroying the device on him. That's my plan."

"But who will attack Spiker?" asked Silver.

There was a long silence before Apple said, "I will." Everybody looked surprisingly at her. "I was the first one to accept him as he is, I shall be the one that'll help him."

"Be carefull then, Apple." said Amy. "I'm sure he's very precious to you, but still, don't let your guard down."

Apple smiled. "He is. And I'm sure I'm precious to him as well."

Everybody got outside to get ready to fight Eggman and his robot army, and stop Spiker.

The whole city was warned Eggman was coming and the entire population went in underground shelters for protection. The whole city was deserted. Later, Eggman with Spiker at his side and his army arrived and started destroying the city. Spiker threw cars into buildings, Eggman's smalller robots shot at cars and buildings, and Eggman's bigger robots destroyed entire buildings. Eggman was enjoying the show in his little shutle above the city. But it didn't last. Apple, Benny and the Sonic team arrived and started destroying Eggman's robots. When Eggman ordered Spiker to attack the Sonic team, Benny and Apple, he hesitated before attacking. He tried resisting Eggman's device, but no luck. Spiker ran and attacked Shadow, Vector and Silver who was throwing cars at him. Apple was hiding on top of a building before attacking Spiker. After five minutes, Spiker was getting slower.

Then Apple cried out loud, "NOW!" And everybody jumped on Spiker and made him fall.

Spiker couldn't move anymore and was trying to get free. But then, he saw Apple who jumped from the building towards Spiker with one of her flame balls about to hit Spiker. Spiker tried releasing himself until he noticed tears were driping out of Apple's eyes. His eyes were wide open, looking at Apple coming straight at him. But then, Eggman hit Apple with his Egg Dragoon and she flew on the other side of the avenue.

"Sonic! Catch her!" Benny called. Sonic ran and caught Apple who passed out because of the impact.

Spiker looked at Apple with his eyes wide open, he then started trembling, and went crazy of anger. He got free, gripped the device on his stomach and ripped it off. Everybody was amazed at what Spiker had done. Spiker hopped up, ran to Eggman's shuttle and grabed it.

"YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE IT!" Spiker barked.

"W-w-wait... what are you going to do to me?" said Eggman in a panic.

Spiker smiled. "All you deserve." As he crushed Eggman's shuttle and threw it all the way to City 17.

Spikker turned around and saw Eggman's robots still destroying the city. He performed his spike smashing earth quake move and all the small robots were destroyed. Then Spiker hit several times the Death Egg and sliced it up with his sharp silver knuckles. He then jumped on the Egg Dragoon and ripped it's head off, smashed the rest into a scrap ball and threw it the same way he threw Eggman to City 17. It was over. Spiker wasn't controled by Eggman anymore.

Spiker looked behind him, and saw Apple in Sonic's arms, still unconcious. He looked down, as if he was responsible for this. He walked near her, put his hand on her cheek. "I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you. It's my fault this is happening." He mumbled, as a tear dripped out of his right eye, falling on Apple's hand, and a tear dripped out of her eye as well. After a minute, he said to the team, "Take good care of her. Tell her I'm alright but that I won't be coming back to this city." The Sonic team just looked at him, and Spiker ran as fast as he could out of City 23.

Later, Apple regained concious. She was in Benny's cabin where Shadow, Sonic, Silver and Amy were as well. "What am I doing here?" she asked. "And where's Spiker?" Everybody looked down then Sonic replied "He ran away."

Apple jumped. "WHAT! Where did he go?"

"He didn't tell." replied Shadow. "But he asked us to tell you that he's alright. He stopped Eggman and all his robots by himself."

Apple looked down heart broken. "Why did he leave?" then she sobbed.

Sonic waited a little before replying. "Well, he said that it was his fault he couldn't protect you. That it's his fault all this happened."

"But it isn't his fault. He couldn't help it. He was being controled by Eggman."

"Apple..." started Benny. "We're going to look for Spiker and try to reason with him to come back."

Apple hesitated a bit. Then she smiled back and noded.

"That settles it." said Sonic. "But where could he've gone?"

"I know." Said Apple. Everybody looked at her.

"In City 17"
