Chapter 40
How It All Began
Sonic's eyes opened slowly and he sat up.
"Wha … what happened? Gahhh!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Sonic, lie down," Julie-Su said as she gently pushed Sonic down.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!" Sonic shouted at Julie-Su.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were King Sonic and had retained his Mobian form to get on our side. Robotnik told me that you are from the Prime zone," Julie-Su explained.
"Finally," Sonic said.
"Well, you could have told me where you had gone," Robotnik said.
"Sorry, I just wanted to know why you were crying, JS?" Sonic answered.
Julie-Su turned away and a tear rolled down her face.
"That explanation will come soon," Robotnik said. "Right now, you want answers, am I correct?"
"Well, that's probably why I was teleported here," Sonic said. "And how am I still alive?"
"Because, werewolves are immune to any sort of gun bullet or laser weapon," Robotnik answered.
"That's why we stay on Angel Island, so as we don't get infected, because they can kill us, but we can't kill them," Julie-Su said.
"The only thing that can kill a werewolf is anything made of silver. And the only thing silver is the sword of Acorns which so happens to be in possession of King Sonic," Robotnik explained.
"So, he keeps it so as nobody can kill him or anyone else, right?" Sonic asked.
"You are correct," Robotnik said.
"Wow, it feels weird talking to a good Robotnik," Sonic said, scratching his head.
"That is where we start the explanation, Sonic," Robotnik said.
"Huh," Sonic said.
"I'm still evil, Sonic, but I don't like the situation that's at hand," Robotnik said.
"Okay, then," Sonic said.
"You see, over a year ago I was going to break the world apart using a machine in space. King Sonic, however came to stop me. But, he wasn't the King he is now. He was just like you, arrogant, childish and … immature," Robotnik explained.
Sonic growled in anger at Robotnik calling him all those things.
"Can we get back to the story instead of calling me names?" Sonic asked in annoyance.
Robotnik smirked and continued on.
"He turned Super Sonic and destroyed my robot. He did not, however, know my full plan. I flew over to another ship in my Egg-mobile and begged him to give me another chance. He fell for it and I caught him in an electric contraption that held him hostage for the while. I used a giant cannon on Mobius to make it split into seven continents. It also unleashed a monster on Mobius. Once the monster was unleashed, something happened to Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds. The monster; which was Dark Gaia had sent some of his Dark Gaia energy up to Sonic through the machine and it turned him into a werehog and drained the Chaos Emeralds," Robotnik explained.
"So, that's how it started, what happened to Mobius, though?" Sonic asked.
"Let me finish, will you?" Robotnik asked.
Sonic shrugged and sat back up.
"I sent him back down to Mobius through a space airlock and he befriended a little creature that he named Chip, but was actually Light Gaia. They travelled all over Mobius to put the world back together and restore the Chaos Emeralds. Once they put it back together, they went to the centre of Mobius where Dark Gaia had fused together and transformed into his true form. Dark Gaia took the energy away that he had given Sonic and he transformed back to normal. He and Light Gaia, soon, started to fight with Dark Gaia and Sonic transformed into Super Sonic again. After they defeated Dark Gaia, Sonic was sent back up to Mobius and Light Gaia stayed in the centre of the planet," Robotnik told Sonic.
"What happened after that?" Sonic asked.
"After that Sonic found the necklace that his friend had had around his neck and kept it as a bracelet. But … on a full moon after he had defeated Dark Gaia, he transformed into the werehog and was consumed by anger. He had thought he had gotten rid of the werehog when Dark Gaia took the energy from him, but it only got worse, because after that full moon he became something more than a werehog. He became something more like a werewolf," Robotnik explained.
"Okay, so that's how he became the werehog, but what about Mobius?" Sonic asked.
"Well, after that full moon when he was consumed by anger he attacked Sally and bit her. She became a werewolf on the next full moon and they decided to take over new Mobotropolis together and be crowned the new King and Queen," Robotnik told Sonic.
"Wait! What happened to King Max?" Sonic asked.
"Who?" Robotnik asked.
"King Max, Sally's father, the rightful King of new Mobotropolis at the moment," Sonic explained.
"Ah, him. Sonic and Sally dethroned him," Robotnik answered.
"Dethroned? Where is he now?" Sonic asked.
"King Sonic … well … killed him," Julie-Su told Sonic.
"HE DID WHAT! WHY WOULD A SONIC DO THAT?" Sonic shouted.
"It was the curse. He killed Max so as he could rule over new Mobotropolis. He and Sally kept biting everyone in Mobotropolis until there was no one normal left. The ones that escaped came up here from Freedom HQ. I didn't want to get infected so I joined up with the Angel Island Freedom Fighters to help them defeat King Sonic," Robotnik told Sonic.
"Oh man of Mobius. So, that's how all this happened … man," Sonic said, grabbing at his head.
"Yes, and you also said you wanted to know information about your own curse?" Robotnik asked.
"Yeah," Sonic said.
"Well, first: the three stages are, one: extreme hunger. Two: if you wear shoes they rips off. Three: you can't talk in you werehog form. Four: you are a lot easily angered during the day and five: you have little control over what you do on a night of a full moon," Robotnik explained.
Sonic froze when he heard them.
"Sonic, what's wrong?" Julie-Su asked.
"I think I know what stage I'm up to," Sonic said.
"Which one?" Robotnik asked.
"Four," Sonic answered, fear eminent in his voice.
Robotnik's eyes widened.
"Then, you had better not do anything for the werewolf to gain complete control of you," Robotnik said.
Sonic snapped out of his sudden freeze and looked back at Robotnik and Julie-Su.
"NICOLE said something about a werewolf maturity. What does that mean?" Sonic asked.
Robotnik thought for a moment then looked back at Sonic.
"It means that your werewolf side will gain maturity as it progresses, but it's a lot slower than the stages," Robotnik said.
"How can it be slower?" Sonic asked.
"Because it affects the way you look as well as act on a full moon," Robotnik told Sonic. "Have you already bitten someone?"
"Yeah, that was when I attacked Angel Island and bit Knuckles," Sonic said and heard Julie-Su gasp. "But, I'm just glad I didn't infect him."
Julie-Su sighed in relief.
"Hmm … I would say you're up to stage three on the maturity," Robotnik said.
"How would you know? You haven't even seen my werehog form yet," Sonic exclaimed.
"I'm only guessing, but if so, after you activate the fourth mature stage, you will retain more wolf features, like a long tail, more evil mind and muscular muscles and so on," Robotnik explained.
"Oh BRILLIANT! Just what I need!" Sonic yelled with sarcasm.
"And once you've activated the final stage, you're werewolf side will be mature enough to infect someone else with a bite, just like King Sonic and Queen Sally," Robotnik explained.
Sonic growled and got off the couch and stood up.
"When I see that Sonic again, I'm gonna shove my shoe so far up…" Sonic was cut off by Julie-Su. "Sonic, what's this?"
She picked up a container, containing Sonic's corrupted blood cell.
"Oh, that … it's just a blood cell NICOLE got with the micro-bot. No biggy, really," Sonic said.
"No, biggy, Sonic, we haven't been able to get a sample of a werewolf because we haven't gotten close enough to one to actually get one," Julie-Su exclaimed.
Julie-Su ran into the computer room and put it in a chamber as Sonic and Robotnik followed. Once they were in the computer room, they all heard a yawn and turned to face who had done it.
"'Su, do you mind we're trying to…" Vector lay eyes on Sonic and got into a fighting stance along with Mighty.
"Julie-Su, Robotnik! Get away from him!" Mighty ordered them.
WOW! That's alot of information. Anyways I keep forgetting to tell ya guys that I don't go by the old meaning of "wer" meaning "man", I just go by "were" for "moon" instead. You know, because he transforms when the moon rises. Even though that isn't a meaning, but, oh well.
