I have this policy that I can't post only a filler chapter every update, and these next two chapters go together, so, three chapters in one day. Lucky you.

CHAPTER 12: SO HERE I AM

Sonic woke up in his bed. Without feeling tired, he got up and grabbed his MP3 player, and began to play "Endless Possibilities". Strutting out of his apartment and down the halls, he felt warm as he walked into the crisp summer sun. It felt perfect. The temperature had just the right amount of warm and the air was not damp, but not desert dry.

As he walked down the sidewalk, his friends slowly gathered behind him, feeling just as glad as he did. He decided he wanted to go to the town park, enjoy the beautiful day.

Sonic passed a highschool. He decided to look in a window and see what the kids were up to...

"BOORIIING! Elliot, wake me up with Ms. DERPson does something cool." Said a bald teen wearing a suit as he began to rest his head on the computer keyboard.

Elliot, apparently the kid wearing skullcap, and a vest over a sweatshirt, waited a second, and pointed his finger at the teacher and slapped an excited look on his face. "HOLY SHIT! LOOK!"

In surprise, the bald student sat up straight immediately and leaned in to get a closer look.

"Today we're going to be learning the basic fundamental entities of..."

"ELLIOT, YOU LIED TO ME. WHY? WHYYYYYYYY..."

Sonic and his friends laughed, and continued to the park.

They had finally reached the park, and they continued to talk around a bench. Sonic, sitting in the middle of the bench with his arms stretched across it, felt at ease, and began to let his head roll back, and, behind the group, he saw a happy girl skipping along the sidewalk, singing something he couldn't hear well, when, seemingly from nowhere, a band of 50's swing trumpets began to play.

The little girl's voice became clear. "... ten thousand tons of ice cream, and I don't get the things that I am after..."

Sonic recognized those words. He couldn't place where, though.

"...Iiii'm going to screeeeeeEEEEEEEE..."

Immediately the scenery around the little girl and the trumpets began to fade as Sonic finally placed the lyrics. The trumpets were replaced with an eerie siren-like noise. Sonic's eyes widened and his pupils shrunk at the thought of how she would sing that song, that he knew this girl was going to sing perfectly, note for note.

Without a moments notice, Sonic rolled off the bench, turned around and began sprinting for the girl.

"Sonic, what are you doing?" Amy demanded, starting to run after him.

As Sonic raced there, the girl's jaw stretched to an unusual length as she did an enormous and extremely unfitting intake; it was quite obvious by now that the little girl isn't always a little girl. But before she could let out anything, Sonic had send a punch straight to the little girl's throat.

"NOPE." Sonic said with a powerful, and somewhat shaky, voice, as he pulled his arm back.

Immediately, the girl was no longer there, and, instead, before Sonic stood a crystalline hedgehog with red eye whites and green eyes, with his hands cradling his throat, coughing. He stood there for a moment, coughing, and Sonic stared at the monster like it just walked out of an ice age exhibit in a museum. Sonic took the moment to look back at his friends, where were all frozen in time, along with the rest of the world, and were blurring out of sight from the purple and black darkness.

The strange creature had stopped coughing.

"God, do you always punch singing girls like that?" The creature asked in a sarcastic tone.

"No, but if I waited five seconds you would have screamed like banshee." Sonic raised an eyebrow for a moment, but dropped it as he spit to the side, keeping his eyes on the dastardly demon. "What in the name of God are you?"

"Neither enemy nor friend." Said the creature, suddenly in a robotic voice, with a normal sounding chuckle afterward.

Sonic pulled out a crowbar from thin air. "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"

"I guess a proper introduction it is, then. My name is Mephiles. Mephiles the Dark." the dark creature answered.

Sonic tucked the crowbar under his shoulder, pulling out a rocket launcher. "WHAT IS YOUR QUEST?"

"To further the world into destruction, one, dream, at a time."

Sonic dropped his weapons. "WHAT, are my favorite movies, cartoon and live action?"

"Mulan and Full Metal Jacket."

"Motherfucking mind reader." Sonic exclaimed as he pulled out an Experimental MIRV. "Get the fuck out of my head, Charles."

"In 200 years, the world will be engulfed in flames, ruled by people you despise with a passion. In 200 years, the land of which you once traveled will be burning, and only few will survive the zones' wrath. In 200 years, no one will remember that there was anything worthful in life. I-"

"Cool story bro, am I going to be alive in two hundred years?"

"No, b-"

"Blow it out your ass."

Mephiles did not finish that sentence. At that moment, Sonic fired eight mininukes at Mephiles' head, and began to run. Within moments the city streets were illuminated by the light let off by the explosions, and, by that time, Sonic had stolen some hookie-playing teenage rebel's skateboard.

Sonic jumped as the flat road began to go down the steep hill, filled with cars, all being blown away by the blast, yet Sonic remains untouched.

"SO HERE I AM," Sonic began to sing, imagining his favorite ska song play in his head. "Doin' eeeverything I can, HOLDING ON TO WHAT I AM, pretending I'M A SUPERMAN!"

~I'm trying to sleep... I lost count 'a sheep, and my mind is racin' faster every minuiiite...~

As the city's unrealistically steep hill twisted downward, Sonic continued to sing, doing kick flips, indys, McTwists, and a custom move that involved planting his finger on the board, sending his legs into the air, and start spinning uncontrollably.

~What could I do more? Yeah I'm really not sure. I know I'm runnin' in CIRCLES but I CAN'T QUIT.~

Sonic decided it was a good idea to do a jump off a ramp. As he did, he flew at least 5 times faster than he already was, yet still had full control over what he was doing.

~And I'm SO CONFUSED! About WHAT TO DO! Sometimes I just wanna throw it all away!~

Sonic landed in an office building, ditching the skateboard, and, losing no momentum, exited the other side of a building like a bullet.

~Controlling everything in sight. I'm feelin' weak, I don't feel right. You're telling me to I have to change, telling me to act my age. BUT IF ALL THAT I CAN DO, IS JUST SIT AND WATCH TIME GO. Then I'll have to say goodbye. Life's too short to watch it fly...~

Sonic opened his arms out of the ball position, and spread his arms out like a bird.

~To watch it FLY-IGH-IGH, FLY-IGH-IGH FLY HIGH!~

From this position, Sonic flew over Station Square. "So here I am, growing older all the time, LOOKING OLDER ALL THE TIME! And feelin' younger in my mind!"

After flying for quite a while, Sonic finally landed landed on one of the mountains nearby. Sonic stood the landing, dusted himself off, and began to clear his throat.

"Like I'm gonna listen to some shit handed to me by some recolored faggot with an extreme case of frostbite." Sonic muttered, with one foot raised onto a rock, holding the MIRV over his shoulder with one arm. He looked back at the explosions' bright light through the tinted glass of his newly acquired shades.

He took a breath in, and, through gritted teeth, he spoke. "Hell yeah, motherfucker."
