A Dark Sonic? Twilight's Struggle to Admit

TV-14-V

   Sonic sighed. Just a couple days ago, in his old world, he was hanging around with his old friends, laughing, goofing around, and messing with good old Egghead Robotnik. And now, he had went through two hard life changers with his friend Tails. 'Time to let it all out now,' he thought.

...

  The mane six, Spike, Sonic, Tails, and Starlight had gathered at the friendship discussion table due to a request made by Tails. "Thank you all for meeting us here today to discuss a subject matter from me and Sonic. Who we are, and how we got here," he said.

  Sonic looked down with despair, as Twilight looked concerned. "I understand if you don't want to talk about it. It would be a very touchy subject."

  Sonic shook his head. "No no, it's time we talked about it. The sooner we talk about it, the sooner it will be gone," he smirked. "And the sooner I can make you giggle." Twilight blushed for the 20th time. "Alright. It's time to reveal all..."

...

Mobiüs, Sonic and Tails' Past

  Sonic the Hedgehog was just a young hedgehog. He was born on Christmas Island 17 years ago, and had a young traveler named Tails (age 11) who was Sonic's best friend and sidekick. He didn't mind it though. What he did mind was getting picked on constantly for having two tails behind him. Thankfully, when he met Sonic, he learned to boost his confidence and whenever he gets bullied, he just ignored them. But how did Eggman attacking cause all of this?

  It was 3 years ago when Eggman first attacked. He took Mobotropolis and caused everyone to flee.

  "Hurry! He don't have much time!" yelled a voice. It was Rosie, the royal protector of the Acorn family. An invasion had happened, and she was in charge of protecting the 13 year old Sally Acorn. The residents were running for their lives, as badniks and Egg Pawns started taking the castle.

  "Rosie, am I ever gonna see my dad again?" asked the young princess.

  "I'm not sure Sally. Right now, he's in the special zone with the Royal Wizard Ixis Naugus, but our top priority is getting out of here and establishing a new home."

  While everyone was at the new base, a blue hedgehog appeared. He was the same as his newer counterpart, only he was chubby, and had no sole on his shoes. "Huh, so this is the famous Mobotropolis. Looks more robot than I thought."

  He sped through the robots, releasing small animals as he went through them. He then came up to where a round scientist was, as he was putting animals into robots. He noticed a blue hedgehog had appeared behind him. "Fascinating. A blue hedgehog."

  "Hey look, a giant talking egg!" Sonic teased.

  "Silence cretin! I am Dr Robotnik, mad scientist, and future ruler of Robotnikland! Say your prayers!"

  The hedgehog sped though the obstacles Robotnik set up, than spinned into the Eggmobile.

  "I'll get you next time!!"

  "Yeah, what ever you say Eggman!"

...

  "And that was the first time I had met Dr Fatso himself."

  Everyone around Sonic chuckled. "So what happened after that?" asked Rainbow Dash.

  "Next? I beat him again, this time with Tails and the Chaos Emeralds..."

  "Chaos Emeralds?" asked Twilight. She was worried about how the emerald (that she never heard of) were some how related to the arbinger of chaos, Discord.

  "It sorta a long story. It depends on how you use them. I gain a super form using them." Rainbow Dash's jaw was wide open. She could go SUPER?! "Then, I went on to beat him multiple other times, with super emeralds that gain me a hyper form..." Rainbow's jaw was even wider. "Uh Rainbow, something wrong?"

  "You gotta show me those things soon!" she exclaimed.

  "Anyway, super emeralds, a dark doppelgänger, teamwork, this one crap adventure I can't remember, swearing, a werehog transformation, aliens, my past self, and I also once saved the Arabian Knights, and became King Arthur himself."

  Everyone was slack jawed. Even Tails, on those last two. After Twilight went back to normal, she was still intrigued. "So when was the first time you experienced that dark state of yours?"

...

  Sonic had came down towards the lower deck of a ship that Tails was captured at. The Meterex captured him and a girl he had met a couple months ago. He noticed there were red chaos emeralds all around. 'Red chaos emeralds. And I sense they're fake. What effect would they have on me?' he thought. The Meterex had demanded a chaos emerald in turn for the release of Tails. He smirked and picked up one of them. "Looks like I could trick him, and get my pals back."

  The Meterex had stood in his ship, with Tails and Cosmo in a glass container. "Let me go you beast!!" Tails had tried to break the glass, but every time he did, he ended up smacking himself.

  "Tails," said Cosmo. "Please stop. I know Sonic will be here quickly."

  Just as she said that, Sonic walked in, smirking, and holding the emerald. He was about to hand over it, when the alien sensed it, and trapped Sonic. "How did you know?" The alien just pressed the button, causing a sound wave to appear, making Tails cough up blood. It also shocked Cosmo. With both of his friends on the verge of dying because of his mistake, tears welled up in his eyes. 'I can't believe it. My cockiness and weakness is causing my friends to die.'

  'No!' whispered a dark voice in his head. 'You are not weak! You must in race you darkness if you ever want to see them again!'

  When he opened his eyes, they were green with purple mist, and his fur turned a very dark blue. "I WILL NOT LET YOU HURT MY FRIENDS!"

...

  The place had exploded during the fight. Luckily, the only casualty lost was the alien. Sonic went back to normal, as he picked up Tails and Cosmo, and headed home with them. "There there buddy. I'm there for you."

...

  Everyone had looked nervous. Sonic and Tails felt a midge of guilt, Rainbow was holding in her "That was AWESOME" to avoid the glares, and everyone else looked confused.

  "And now, how we got here."

...

     A blue streak speeds by the Möbians at the speed of sound. There was no time for relaxation for this hedgehog. He had to get to Eggman fast, or he would fail.

    "Sonic, can you please slow down? My tails are getting cramped," said a two tailed yellow-orange-ish fox, who was using his twin tails to propel him into the air.

    "Lighten up Tails! You can keep up with me even without using your tails," replied Sonic while he was running. "Besides, Eggman won't be hesitant to pull a trick if we don't get there quick!"

    "I know Sonic, but considering he made dumb things like the Egg Dealer and how he actually thought a Ferris wheel with a giant eye on it would finish you off, I highly doubt he would do something that sinister."

    "Yeah, your right. I just enjoy seeing Ro-butt-nik eat my dust before he even sees me."

    Tails chuckled at that one. As soon as they got there, they would stop Eggman, and celebrate another victory with their friends.

...

     "Alright Eggman, cough up your hands so we can eat in peace," said Sonic as he got to the Egg Carrier.

     Suddenly, Eggman appeared in his egg mobile. "Ah Sonic, so glad you could make it. Meet my newest creation, the Egg-itmate Lifeform!" After Eggman finished, a giant robot covered in curtains appeared. He looked menacing to the normal person, but Sonic wasn't even surprised.

     "Alright Egghead, enough with the fetishes with eggs and robots, and just surrender. I have a gym meetup at One, so make it quick."

     Eggman was furious. "It's Robotnik! Now, how would you feel if I said my beautiful creation was powered by your own friends?"

     Sonic wasn't buying it. "Nice try, like I can know something like tha... Wait, WHAT?!" The robot took off the curtains to reveal that his friends were trapped inside glass tubes, noticing their soul was draining with every second. He noticed all his friends were talking.

     "Sonic, help us!" yelled Amy Rose.

     "I wouldn't normally ask this, but you gotta do something!" said Knuckles the Echidna.

     "Mr Sonic! Save us!" yelled Cream the Rabbit.

     "Thanks for the help handsome, but I really don't need it," replied Rouge the Bat.

     "I have a feeling I should make a reference to a computer room," wondered a curious Vector the crocodile, while Espio facepalmed.

     Tails was shocked and appalled to see this, but Sonic was mad and disgusted by Eggman. "Why would you do this Robotnik?! What have they ever done to you that made you do it?"

     Robotnik merely shrugged it off. "Meh, I just did it to lure you in. I don't expect them to get badly harmed."

     They noticed that the friends were withering away.

     "Kick some Ro-butt-nick for us all," said Amy.

     "Protect the master emerald," said Knuckles.

     "See you soon handsome," said Rouge.

     "I won't make the reference to the computer room!" said Vector.

     "Goodbye Mr Sonic. We'll miss you," said Cream.

     As the last of Sonic's friends died, Eggman took a look back. "Huh, didn't  expect that, but it kinda works. At least you'll suffer!"

     Tails started to tear up as he witnessed his friends pass on. Sonic however turned a dark blue while his eyes turned green with a purple mist. "How, dare you kill the people I loved, YOU MONSTER!!" Sonic went up to Eggman and kicked him in the jaw, causing blood to come out his mouth. Sonic then slammed Robotniks head into metal, all the while Tails witnessed it. "Give one good freaking reason I shouldn't crush your head into a pool of blood right now!"

      Eggman smiled as he grabbed a gadget from his pocket. He pressed the button, causing Sonic and Tails to fall, and cough up blood. "And just to make sure you don't come back!" he said as he grabbed another gadget and flipped the switch, causing a giant white portal to appear.

      "What is it?" asked a bruised Tails.

      Sonic was stunned, as the purple and green eyes disappeared, and his body went back to his normal blue. "I think it was chaos control. Now it seems like something else entirely." The whiteness enveloped Sonic and Tails, taking them to who knows where.

...

  Everyone looked on with a hint of sadness. Tails was crying, Twilight was tearing up, Sonic had a look of sorrow, and everyone else was saddened. Sonic got a surprise hug from Twilight. "Sonic, I know you've been through a lot, I understand. We'll work this out, and soon, you'll be back home."

  "I don't even want to go back. All my friends are gone, and Robotnik has probably taken the city. But I do have new friends here, and a new home."

  Everyone looked on with happiness. Pinkie's mane went from flat to puffy in zero to no time. "Well, now that the sadness is over, we can finally through Spikey a Party!"

  Sonic yawned. "Maybe tomorrow Pinks. I kinda got tired doing all that." Tails yawned as well. "We'll see you in the morning."

...

  "Good night Sonic and Tails," said Twilight.

  "Night Twilight." Sonic slept on, awaiting whatever life took him next. It didn't matter, as long as he had his friends.
