Zero Sagas
Chapter 5: Of Darkness and Despair
(A/N) I own Zero, Sapphire, Nightmare, and Lifeform 0. I also own the idea of Zero Sagas. I DON'T own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles ect. They belong to their respectful owners.
Back at Eggman's base he was busy in front of one of his newest inventions; the device had a chamber with sealed doors. The top was attached to a giant laser ray that was designed to take things apart. Eggman walked into the room, around him stood lots of his robots; they were busy rushing around the room collecting all the metal parts they could find.
"Sir, the decrystalizer you requested will take a while to finish building. I am also sorry to say the chances of decrystalizing this creature are about a solid two percent" The robot told his master as he skimmed his papers.
"Argh! What can I do? None of my inventions will work on this crystal, and I want that power!" Eggman yelled.
"If you do as I say you can have all the power you want." A voice said from behind Eggman.
Startled from the sudden voice Eggman turned around to so no one around. Apparently Eggman wasn't the only one to hear the voice because his robots were on full alert, they had drawn their guns and a warning light flashed on their suits.
"Who goes there?" Eggman asked the voice he heard.
"If you do as I say you can have all the power you want." The voice repeated.
"Show yourself…NOW!" Eggman demanded. "What are you doing here?!?" He yelled as the figure emerged from the shadows.
MEANWHILE…
Tails walked through the city, he was starting to become upset due to the absence of Amy, he was worried that she might be in trouble.
"Amy…please…where are you?" Tails asked the darkness around him.
A figure walked up from behind Tails and placed a hand on Tails' shoulder. Tails immediately pulled a laser pistol, turned and pointed the end of the laser at the head of the figure.
"Whoa! Tails, it's just me!" The figure said.
The figure walked out to where the light revealed him. Tails realized it was only Knuckles.
"Sorry Knuckles… I'm just kind of upset…" Tails said as he lowered his pistol.
"What's wrong?" Knuckles asked as he sat on a nearby crate.
"Well Amy had run from me, now if I don't find her Sonic will be really upset…" Tails told Knuckles.
"Where is Sonic anyway?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know… I just remember going after Amy, all I know is Sonic was fighting Metal Sonic." Tails said.
"We should look for Sonic before going to look for Amy; maybe she is already with him." Knuckles reassured Tails
"I hope so…" Tails said.
MEAN WHILE
An unconscious Sonic the Hedgehog was fastened to a metal wall. He was suspended from his ankles and wrists by metal fasteners. When Sonic came to he looked around.
"Wha… Where am I?" Sonic asked himself.
Sonic looked around. All he could see around him were walls. A small distance in front of him was a set of double doors. The room was almost dark but barley lit up by 2 near death light bulbs. At his feet was a bowl of food and a very small glass of water. Upon seeing these Sonic realized he was very thirsty. He was also very hungry. Sonic remembered his fight with Metal Sonic. Suddenly footsteps echoed through the corridor; he turned his head and noticed a set of green eyes that glittered through the darkness.
"Who are you?" Sonic asked
"That is not important right now." The figure said. "What is important is you survival."
The figure approached Sonic. He seemed unidentifiable through all the darkness around him. But when he came into the light Sonic could get a good look. He was an Echidna. He wore white gloves with red, green, and gray colored shoes, his quills were like Knuckles' except he had deep blue streaks that ran through his black colored quills. He wore a red hair band and a brown belt that held up two daggers, strapped to his back was a long sword that was sheathed.
"What do you want?" Sonic asked.
"Eggman is after something he doesn't have, but wants." The echidna said.
"Who are you?" Sonic asked again.
"I am the Guardian of Darkness, you can call me Dark." Dark said.
"Guardian? Like the protectors of the Master Emerald?" Sonic asked.
"Sonic, you must escape, if you don't, you will die, if you die, the world will fall into darkness." Dark told Sonic.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"An ancient power will be reborn, he has been sealed by the ancient power, and the sorcerer of this world will bring him back to life. If that happens he will destroy everything, including your friends." Dark said.
"I don't understand." Sonic said.
"Sonic you have super speed for a reason, it's not everyday someone gets a special power, you can absorb chaos energy, think, you have a power no one else does, except for three others. One of those wasn't meant to be given power but he was, the other is supposed to help you protect the world. Find the other people before the ancient power does and you will have a chance to save the world. But stay away from the Master Emerald, it will only bring chaos." Dark explained.
Sonic gave him a confused look "I still don't understand."
"That is all I can say now… all will be revealed to you when you are gone from this world. Then you will be able to save the world." Dark said.
He then stepped back into the shadows and disappeared.
"Weird… what did he mean?" Sonic asked himself.
MEANWHILE…
"Amy Rose! How did YOU get on my ship???" Eggman looked to his top security robot who just shrugged his shoulders. "How did you avoid the security?"
"You mean this junk?" Amy tossed to Eggman's feet his computer's security control panel.
"How???????????" Eggman couldn't get over what he saw; he thought Sonic could have done it but not Amy.
Suddenly the figure of Amy became fuzzy, and then she disappeared completely as with the security control panel.
"What happened? Wait… Amy never was here, it's all in my head…" Eggman rubbed his forehead with a washcloth.
"Dr. Eggman, I have a request to make for you." A voice said that seemed to come from all around.
