Chapter Eight: Name Finally Revealed
We now enter back into the room where Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow were being told a very bizarre story by this mysterious creature.
"And that was my story. I now live in a life with no feelings, no emotion, and no fear." the monster stated, as he smiles evilly. The look on his face really startled everyone.
"So, how did you get here? And why are you here?" Tails asked.
"Well, this new form has given me the ability to travel through different dimensions. Just as long as there is a certain kind of vortex I can travel through." the monster laughs.
"So that's how you got here? It was through Amy's engagement ring? You could have killed her, you son of a bitch!" Sonic yells, as he tried to charge at him. But was held back by Knuckles.
"Maybe so. But it was my only ticket to this dimension. And to answer your question Tails, I am here, because I travel through different dimensions to help them live the same way I am living." the monster announced.
"What do you mean by that, exactly? Because all I see is a sad lonely monster, who has nothing better to do with his life! Or is it because your Amy doesn't love you any more, that's why you kill people?" Shadow stated.
After that, the monster then turned from an evil smile, to an angry frown. He then screams angrily, making the walls crack. The guys dodged in case anything tried to fall on top of them.
"You want to know why I do the things that I do?" the monster asked.
"Yes, we do!" Sonic yells.
"Well, you will see! But you better make damn sure you find a way to kill me this time. Not that you ever will, because I'm already dead! I travel to different dimensions, because I want to save every dimension from these ridiculous emotions, from all these feelings, from that pathetic weakness called love!" the monster started. Tails gasped in horror.
"He's pure evil!" Tails stated.
"Oh, too right I am, Tails! Just imagine yourselves in a world without emotion, a world without feelings, a world without a hero, and a world without the Sonic the Hedgehog. The Sonic you all know and love will no longer be known as Sonic the Hedgehog!" the monsters started.
"What do you mean by that, you freak?!" Knuckles asked in fear.
"From this day on, I will no longer be known as Sonic the Hedgehog! I will be forever known, as Sonic. EXE! Or to make it easier, just call me Exetior!" he finishes.
And the table all of a sudden bursts into flames. This scared the four guys, as they all leaped back before the fire could reach them.
"And when all of this is set and done, you can't run from what I'm going to do to you all! I will take control over the entire galaxy, and everything in different dimensions. And all of you will be slaves, when you see what I truly am." Exetior stated, with a threatening tone.
"And, what exactly are you?!" Sonic asks him. Exetior just smiles evilly at him.
"Don't you know? I... AM... GOD!" Exetior replies.
After that, the electrics blew out, and the place went dark, but still light enough that they can still see. All the guys were in fear. Exetior vanished in thin air.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Knuckles yelled.
"This guy just won't stop!" Shadow added.
"Well, let's just get out of here. No use being here." Tails advised.
"Guys, this monster needs to be stopped at all costs. We have to go after him, and we have to go after him now!" Knuckles stated.
"So he calls himself Exetior. Very unusual name to come up with." Shadow complimented.
"He's the most sinister thing I've ever seen." Tails stated.
"Anyway, while we're here, what are we going to do about Eggman? We can't just leave his body there to rot." Sonic asked.
"We'll have to bury him." Knuckles stated.
"Well then, we better get started." Shadow said, as he was about to start getting ready to carry Eggman.
"Shadow, wait!" Tails yells.
"What?!" Shadow asked.
"Don't just do it. Put some latex gloves on first. Don't want to track fingerprints in case people somehow find his body, and trace them. Then we'll all be wanted." Tails explained.
"Good thinking Tails." Knuckles added.
After that, the four of them put on some latex gloves, and then they all helped carry Eggman's body outside the lab. When they went out, for the next half hour, they all started to dig up a deep hole, and placed Eggman's body in there. After that, they put the dirt back into the hole.
"Well, there's that." Shadow stated.
"Rest in peace Eggman. You'll never be forgotten." Tails blessed.
"That Exetior will pay for his crimes!" Knuckles stated angrily.
"If you ask me, there's something very odd about that monster." Sonic added. Everyone was curious about what Sonic meant by that.
"What do you mean, Sonic?" Knuckles asked.
"Well, even though he says that he's dead, and that he doesn't care about anything, something tells me that he's not very honest about that." Sonic explains.
"Well, he proved that to be true by murdering Big, and Eggman!" Shadow angrily yelled.
"How can you say that he isn't honest about being evil?" Knuckles asked in a very stern voice.
"Well, let's think about it. That story he told us, he kills people in different universes, right?" Sonic started.
"That's one of the things he's stated, yes." Tails replied.
"Right! So if he does what he says, then why is it that in his own dimension, he hasn't even killed his Amy?" Sonic finishes. Everyone thought for an answer.
"You have a good point. That does seem very bizarre." Knuckles stated.
"But it doesn't make sense. He has killed so many people in cold blood." Shadow pointed out.
"We are aware of that Shadow, but doesn't it not seem suspicious about why he hasn't killed the Amy from his dimension? I mean, he got very pissed when you mentioned his Amy not loving him any more." Tails asked him.
"Hmm, good point Tails. But to answer the question, I have absolutely no idea." Shadow replied.
"Right, so he said the book he was resurrected by contained black magic. But it can't be as strong as he mentioned it being." Sonic stated.
"You've got something there, Sonic. Maybe it's the magic that's holding back who he really is." Tails explained.
"But even if that is the case, how the hell are we going to convince him? That thing is pure evil, he won't give a damn." Shadow asked.
"When there's a will, Shadow, there is a way." Sonic replies.
"But the question is, what?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know, Knuckles. But whatever it is, and if it exists, we have to find it, and find it fast!" Tails said determined.
"The sooner we find it, the more innocent lives we can save. Who's in?" Sonic said, as he placed his hand in front of him.
"Count me in!" Tails exclaimed, as he placed his hand on Sonic's.
"I'll fight along your side, until the end!" Knuckles added, as he placed his hand on Sonic and Tails'. Then they looked at Shadow.
"Well Shadow? Are you in, or are you out?" Sonic asked. Shadow sighed.
"This sounds like a crazy idea. But if it's the last resort to save everyone from that evil son of a bitch, you can bet that I'll be fighting for it!" Shadow agreed, as he placed his hand on the three guy's hands.
After that, they all threw their hands in the air, and called out a loud "YEAH!" to finish their agreement. Not the thing is from here on out, can they find help, if there is one, or will this finally be the end of them?
