THE DARK WINDS CHAPTER 10 DARK SONIC RISES!
DISCLAMER; YOU ALREADY KNOW I DON'T OWN SONIC.
Yo, chapter 10 it's about time huh? So please enjoy and don't forget opinions and comments are always welcome.
Every one was completely paralyzed at the sight of the dark figure. No one had any idea how to react to this situation, nor could they do anything about it. They had all hoped that this was simply a nightmare, but to dismiss it now as unreal would be pointless, as they all were very much awake. They all continued to gaze at Sonic but none of them could find any words to speak, until Tails began.
"Sonic is that you?" Tails said with fear hoping Sonic was still himself.
Yet Sonic remained silent as he inspected his hands, and then began to clench them closed and open, almost as if making sure they were working right.
"Sonic are you alright?" Blaze said slightly hoping that what she was looking at was a trick.
Sonic then looked at them and smirked. He then lifted his left arm as he aimed it at the wall, as soon as his hand became still a flash came out and shook the base. Everyone ducked and covered themselves as the shockwave from the blast passed over them. Once the impact had subsided they all looked in horror at what was there or in this case what was left. Half of the base and a sizable portion of the mystic ruins were completely gone. Blaze and the others were completely shocked by this.
"Never better as you can see." Dark Sonic said as he began to laugh.
Blaze began to back up in fear as she muttered "no this isn't you Sonic."
Then suddenly clapping was heard coming from behind, and everyone turned to see whom it came from.
"Well done my boy, your power is truly frightening so much so that the legends hardly due you justice, quite shocking indeed wouldn't you say Ivo?" Nega said as he stopped clapping and turned to his twin from a small room with a protective glass panel.
"Yes Sonic I should have realized who you were the very moment I saw the power of Super Sonic, it would've been so much easier to have done this in the beginning. Eggman said as he stood up from his chair.
"What are you talking about Eggman?" Rouge said glaring at him.
"Oye an what's all this about blue being on ledges? He ain't no bird you daft bunch of egg shaped drongos." Marine yelled to the madmen.
Upon hearing this the two Eggmen instantly fell over, mean while a drop of sweat appeared in back of the heads of Shadow, Shade, Tails, Knuckles, and Blaze as they stared at Marine in disbelief that she could be this stupid. Marine simply looked back at the five of them and exclaimed "what," with a dumb founded look. Rouge after hearing this grabbed a large Japanese folding fan and at once smacked Marine in the back of the head sending her to the floor in pain. "Oye Rouge what was that for?" Marine said as she rubbed a large bump that had appeared where she had been struck. "For being the dumbest idiot I have ever had to listen to!" Rouge screamed as she said this. Meanwhile the two Robotnicks regained their balance.
"You really need to check and see if that girl really is as smart as she claims to be Tails." Nega said rubbing his head.
"How do you deal with her as a partner everyday?" Ivo questioned.
"Well I guess you get used to it." Tails said shrugging as he received a glare from Marine.
"Well back to business." Eggman said as he looked at Dark Sonic whose glare had not left from the two doctors the whole time.
"I've grown quite tired of these fools, so lets just get rid of them, Dark Sonic now destroy them turn them into nothing but ash!" Eggman yelled as he pointed to the group.
Dark Sonic stared at the doctor blankly then looked at Blaze and the others as he began to walk towards them. Blaze at once began to step back along with Rouge and Marine, while Shadow, Knuckles and Tails stepped forward reading themselves for what ever may come. Seeing this Dark Sonic then began to stop as he watched them slightly raising his head as if he was impressed by the fact they did not cower in his presence and let of a smirk. Noticing this Nega began to lose patience.
"Dark Sonic you are beginning to try my patience I suggest you finish them now." Nega said with firmness in his voice.
"That's right do as your commanded unless you want to be reminded of to whom you belong now." Eggman said with an evil grin.
Dark Sonic then glared at the madmen as he heard this, his dark aura began to flare once again, yet this time more violently. As if Dark Sonic had truly been angered this time. The doctors looked upon him and began to smile.
"I see just as disobedient as ever aren't we Sonic." Nega spoke as he pulled out a small remote control that had a large red button on it from his pocket and handing it to Robotnick.
"You see we planned for the fact that Dark Sonic would not be completely obedient so we made a little device to ensure that he would always remember his place." Eggman said as he pressed the red button causing a glass tube to appear around Dark Sonic.
Yet Dark Sonic did not budge as the glass surrounded him his pupil less eyes glued to the men whom had the gall to command him. Then a metallic collar descended from the tube and at once clipped around Dark Sonic's neck, yet he remained still with his focus unchanging. Shade then spoke up.
"Wait I've seen that kind of thing before." Shade said with slight panic in her voice.
"You know what that thing is Shade?" Shadow said as he turned to her in shock.
"What is it? I've never seen anything like it before." Tails said with an interested look on his face.
"Its nocturnus tech. and not just any piece of equipment that is a chaos collar a weapon that uses chaos energy to bind the wearer with a powerful surge of energy, it was created by some of our top scientist to restrain monsters like perfect chaos just incase, the only question is how did they get one. They were all destroyed when Sonic defeated Lord Ix."(Note; Sonic Chronicles the dark brotherhood last boss) Shade said with utter surprise.
"Right you are my dear they were all destroyed, that is tell I discovered the design blueprints when you had all left the earth to chase them down." Eggman smiled as he said this quite proud of his findings.
"We even modified it a bit in order to increase its effectiveness, allow me to demonstrate how potent it is." Nega said as he pressed another button on the controller causing a stream of white power in the form of electricity to flow from the collar and into Dark Sonic, causing him to wince at this.
The power continued to pour into Dark Sonic as everyone watched. Shadow yelled Sonic's name as he raised his hand reading a chaos spear but then immediately stopped as he looked at Dark Sonic's face. Dark Sonic lifted his head and what every one saw shocked them almost as much as the collar would have had they all been wearing one. Dark Sonic was not recoiling in pain, he was laughing with a devious smirk about his face. The two Eggman then seen this and jumped in shock. "What the… it has no effect?" Eggman said grabbing his head with both hands. "I don't understand the collar is set to max power, at this level we could bring down Perfect Chaos, biolizard, and Dark Gaia, at the same time."(Note; Dark Gaia final boss of Sonic unleashed) Nega said as he looked at what was happening. Dark Sonic then laughed as he stood up right saying.
"It's really pitiful that you would dare compare my power to the likes of those fourth rate pieces of garbage." Dark Sonic said as he simply moved his neck to the right causing the collar to shatter into pieces.
Everyone gazed upon this in shock, but none more so then the two doctors who had no idea what to do in response to this. In all the their schemes that they tried they always had a plan b incase something went wrong usually being the only thing that would save them, whether it was a well placed escape pod or just Sonic with the emeralds. Yet this time they had no back up plan. They had messed with powers beyond their understanding and this time Sonic wasn't going to save them, infact he was the problem so there was no one they could turn to in order to stop the evil they had released onto the world. The Eggmen had brought themselves great debt through their lust for power and now they were going to pay for it.
The two madmen looked at each other, and at once thought the same thing, they needed to escape now, yet as they started to back step towards the door, they immediately froze in their tracks as they looked up Dark Sonic was floating right in front of them behind the glass panel. Dark Sonic then lifted his right hand as he aimed it at the two Eggmen; dark energy began to gather in it. Seeing this the Eggmen began to beg.
"Please Sonic come on your not really going to do this are you? You're a hero you save people." Ivo stuttered.
"Yes, please think this through; Sonic would never do such a thing right?" Nega reasoned.
They both then stared at Sonic waiting for his reaction. Sonic then looked at them and said.
"You know Eggmen your right Sonic would never do this." Sonic then lowered his hand and turned away from them in shame.
The two doctors then looked at each other and smiled as they sighed in relief. Knuckles then looked at Sonic and said.
"Well looks like they got through to him, things looked bad there for a second, huh Rouge?" Knuckles sighed as he spoke to her.
"Yea I'm just glade he's back to normal, aren't you kitten?" Rouge said as she turned to her, yet got no reply.
Rouge then looked at Blaze waiting for her response yet all Blaze did was stare at Sonic. An before Rouge could say anything more Sonic turned back to the Eggmen and raised his hand once again.
"But… I'm not that Sonic anymore, I am Dark Sonic and, I have no problem killing you!" Dark Sonic then smirked as he loosed the blast on the two doctors.
The two Robotnicks yelled in terror as they were engulfed by the blast. Shadow and the others braced themselves as the blast shot out and took out another large section of the base. As the smoke cleared the only thing left standing was Dark Sonic who simply laughed as he looked over the crater left by his attack. Everyone remained silent at this except Blaze who upon seeing this whispered "no" as she feel to her knees and covered her mouth with her hand holding back tears. Dark Sonic then turned towards the others.
"So which of you is next?" Dark Sonic smirked as he said this.
The others looked at him and all but Shadow and Knuckles stepped back from him. "Sonic we don't want to fight so come back to your senses." Shadow said.
"Yea we're your friends Sonic we don't wanna hurt you." Knuckles said getting into a fighting stance.
Yet Dark Sonic just smirked widely at them. "Well let's see what you got." Dark Sonic said as he teleported in front of them. Seeing this Shadow and Knuckles jumped to their sides.
Knuckles then rushed at Dark Sonic, he at once began throwing a number of lightning quick punches at him, yet Sonic just dodged them effortlessly making it look like the punches were in slow motion. Knuckles noticed this and at once began to get angry, he then started to punch at Sonic even faster hoping to make contact but to no avail, then Knuckles had an idea (shocking isn't it?).
As knuckles then tried once more putting all his strength into his right fist for one last punch, he aimed it at Sonic but as he swung Sonic disappeared from sight, Knuckles smirked at this as he quickly spun around and aimed the punch behind him shouting out "Knuckle Duster," as Sonic appeared, hitting Sonic directly in the face. The punch caused a small explosion as it connected and a shockwave came out. "Gotcha," Knuckles said smirking, but at once his smile began to fade as he looked at Sonic, Dark Sonic had not moved. Knuckles knew that anyone that's ever been hit by his Knuckle Duster has never been able to avoid being hurled of into the air, yet Sonic was completely still. Knuckles then began to lower his hand from Sonic's face, and was shocked to see that Sonic had not a single scratch on him, as he stared at Knuckles with no emotion.
"That was impressive but let me show you what a real punch looks like." Dark Sonic replied as he raised his left hand and quickly punched Knuckles in the stomach.
Knuckles immediately coughed up blood as he was then sent flying through the air, seeing this Rouge at once flew up and caught him, asking if he was alright as she slowly brought him back to the ground. As Sonic was about to blast Rouge, a chaos spear had stuck him in the back. Dark Sonic then turned his view to the one that threw it.
"You're up against me now!" Shadow said as he glared at Sonic.
Seeing this the two of them then rushed at each other. Shadow then launched a series of punches and kicks at Sonic, but Sonic simply blocked them all one at a time with his left hand. Dark Sonic then countered by kicking at Shadow, who dodged by using chaos control, Shadow then reappeared behind Sonic and shot off another chaos spear at him, aimed at his head, but Dark Sonic just smacked it away.
"Guess I better stop messing around." Shadow said with a look of pain in his face as he gathered a large amount of chaos energy in his hand.
Seeing this Dark Sonic then rushed up to him. "Chaos Lance!" Shadow yelled as he hurled the attack at Sonic. Shade and Blaze gasped in shock at this, as they both knew full well how powerful that attack was, and if it were to hit it would go right though Sonic, but they were more shocked that Shadow would use that attack against Sonic. Who even though wasn't himself was still considered to be Shadow's best friend besides Shade.
The two yelled out "no" as Shadow closed his eyes not wanting to see the attack happen, they were caught of guard by what happened next as Dark Sonic grabbed the attack with his left hand and crushed it.
"Not bad. You are strong but nowhere near a threat to me." Dark Sonic said.
Everyone looked in horror as they heard him but Shadow lowered his head. "I see you are stronger then I imagined Sonic, I hoped I wouldn't have to do this but you have left me no other choice." Shadow said as he took of his rings and began to glow red.
"Shadow are you crazy? Use that much power for that move and you'll kill Sonic!" Shade yelled as the others shrieked.
"I have no choice that's not Sonic… not anymore, so hurry up and put up a barrier around every one already!" Shadow yelled back at her.
Hearing this Shade nodded and at once pressed a button on her belt causing a large shield to appear around her and the others. Seeing this Shadow nodded, and faced Sonic. "Forgive me, my friend." Shadow said as he then yelled out "CHAOS BLAST!" as Sonic raised an eyebrow as the blast released.
At once a great explosion took place that engulfed the remaining parts of the base in a red energy. The blast leveled everything in the base, and as the smoke cleared the only things left standing were Shadow and the other hidden behind Shade's shield. Shadow seen this and began to kneel breathing heavily, he looked around and saw no sign of Sonic anywhere, everyone else looked as well for a sign of Sonic but found nothing.
"I'm sorry Sonic please forgive me." Shadow said as he slammed his fist to the ground, but before he could do anything else Shadow was kicked and sent flying towards the others.
Shade at once caught him, but before she could ask him his condition, she looked up to see Dark Sonic was there. They all froze Shadow had just used his most powerful attack but Sonic was completely unscathed.
"I am very impressed Shadow, that was indeed quite strong, yet as I told you before, you don't pose a threat to me! Now let me show you what the ultimate power really looks like." Dark Sonic said as he began to glow black.
They all instantly knew what was coming now. "This is bad guys we need to move!" Knuckles said as he stood up.
"CHAOS…" Dark Sonic said as the black energy around him began to flicker turning his pupil less eyes red.
Marine started to scream and run in circles at this, but Blaze looked at everyone and seen the fear on their faces, seeing this reminded her that no matter what she swore to protect her friends, she stood up as the sol emeralds surrounded her.
"BLAST!" Sonic said as he released the blast but just before it hit Blaze shouted out "chaos control" teleporting everyone away at the last moment.
The blast covered the mystic ruins in a large black explosion that could be seen from Station Square. Once it subsided all that was left was fire and wreckage, as a pair of red eyes glared through the smoke laughing.
ELSEWHERE AT TAILS' WORKSHOPE
"Is everyone alright?" Blaze said as she looked upon the others with worry as the sol emeralds vanished back into Blaze.
"Never better." Knuckles said speaking with a garbage can on his head as Rouge pulled it of.
"Nice work Blaze you really saved us all there." Tails said helping Marine of the floor.
"Yea but why did you bring us here?" Shade said propping Shadow up.
Blaze then got up and walked over to one of Tails' machines she then spoke up.
"Well, I figured that we would need help if we are going to bring Sonic back, so I thought why not get the emeralds." Blaze said pulling out the seven chaos emeralds from the machine.
Everyone then looked at her and smiled. "Oye good on ya mate." Marine said with glee. "With those we should be able to increase our chances." Knuckles said. Yet Tails spoke up.
"Wait, didn't Sonic say that you guys super forms wouldn't be enough, to stop Dark Sonic?" Tails said grimly. Everyone then started look down. Then Shadow spoke.
"Maybe, but I don't think it will be that easy if Knuckles, Blaze and I fight together." Shadow stated looking at Blaze.
Blaze recoiled a bit at the thought of having to fight Sonic, but before she could say anything the chaos emeralds had disappeared. "What the?" Was all that was said before everyone turned around, and there standing with the emeralds suspended in the air was Dark Sonic.
"Well, well I've been looking for you guys, you ran away before the fun was over, pretty rude of you, but at least you found my emeralds." Dark Sonic said smirking at the others.
They all looked at Sonic with anger on their faces. "Give us back the emeralds Sonic and I promise you that we will take you down here and now." Shadow said standing up.
Dark Sonic looked at Shadow and upon seeing his face began to smirk. "So you think that you stand a chance against me if you have the emeralds?" Dark Sonic said as he began to laugh.
"A pretty good chance." Knuckles said now standing himself.
"Well I will give you one thing for sure, you definitely have nerve… So tell you what I will let you see how powerless you are then." Dark Sonic said as he walked closer to them, causing them to back up slightly.
"Yet it will be no fun to just give them to you, so I'll do this." Sonic said as the emeralds began to float and then flew up and shot off in various directions.
"What are you doing?" Rouge said glaring at Sonic. Dark Sonic then began to speak.
"Hmph… you wanted the emeralds right? So here's your chance. You have one week to recollect the emeralds, once you've done that meet me at the master emerald shrine where we will settle this once and for all." Dark Sonic said as he began to walk away.
They all watched him in shock as he began to leave then Shade spoke out.
"Why are you doing this Sonic when you could take us all out now?" Shade yelled.
"It's quite simple, you see I just want to get as much fun out of this world as possible before I destroy it, and letting you live should prove the most entertaining, that's all." Dark sonic said turning to her.
Destroy the world the others gasped in unison.
"That's right once I've gotten all the fun I can out of this world I will destroy it, so if you even wish to have a chance at saving it I suggest you find those gems quickly, oh and one more thing, I'll think you'll find that the emeralds will not be so easy to obtain this time around." Dark Sonic said.
"What do you mean Sonic?" Blaze said with concern.
"Hmph… why ruin the surprise, it's better for you to find out yourselves, so until then I'll be waiting." Dark Sonic said as vanished completely.
"What do you think he meant by that?" Tails said looking at the others.
"It doesn't matter, I have a feeling we will find out soon enough. Shadow stated.
"So what do we do now?" Shade asked looking at Shadow.
"Simple we find the emeralds and face him, now enough talk we got our work cut out for us so let's go." Shadow said firmly. Everyone then nodded as they all split up.
