In this What If/Possible Future Sonic The Hedgehog has become King of the planet Mobius/Earth and the rest of the galaxy has experienced a benevolent era of peace and prosperity. While everyone is enjoying their daily lives in peace a catastrophic p...
In the old timeline the former king, Sonic The Hedgehog, used the Tachyon Displacement Chamber to try and fix time, historic events were drastically changed so that now Shadow ended up defeating Dr. Eggman and married Sally Acorn, making him the king of Mobius. Among his acts as king were employing the Dark Legion under their new name of the "Dark Presence" as his enforcers. Among their acts were enforcing his will upon the planet, capturing both Cobar and Rotor Walrus so that Shadow could torture information out of him

While their slaves heard them constantly, and the poor cyborgs were haunted by them, and Cream The Rabbit politely ignored them... actually communicating with the Black Arms proved frustratingly difficult.
Shadow, being Shadow, had gone for the direct approach.
"Too bad I couldn't bring Omega, Rouge, or even the GUN Commander Abraham Tower with me not that I really need them of course but any machine life is a trigger to these... things." Shadow thought to himself
Shadow zoomed into the part of Mobius now under the control of his Black Arms, twisted nightmares of flesh, like he was running through one big creature. 'Then again, I likely am, and time to speak with the brains.'
The abominations that were once Mobians cringed at the sight of him, otherwise hissed, some actually stared at him in confusion. Shadow saw the blond, monkey-like thing that used to be his friend Hope Kinbotor, with four extremely long tendril growing out of her back, with hands and feet that were all thumbs, solid yellow eyes that went along in rows on her head, and a tail whose end could function as a stinger, a manipulator, a saw, or nearly any tool really. And a mouth full of lipless fangs. She moved about in a mockery of her old life, moving about the fleshy structure, adding to them, improving them. There was no recognition in her eyes looking at Shadow, none at all.
But Shadow wasn't here for Hope. Instead, he focused on what had been Elias wife Megan Acorn. Shadow remembered her eyes, sneaky, honorable, royal, caring, and now they were completely gone. In their place, Meghan now had four extra wings instead of arms and legs, and ears in place of her other senses. And... a mouth that split out for screeching. Shadow wondered what the use was for given the Black Arms were telepathic, but then brushed it aside.
Instead, he used Chaos Control, teleported in front of her, and in one brutal and swift motion forced her down, he then used Chaos Spear to stab Megan's many wings. Even with his strength she screamed and struggled to break free.
"I AM SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG! THE ULTIMATE LIFE-FORM! I! AM OF THE BLACK ARMS, OF BLACK DOOM!" Shadow snarled. Letting the darker side of his Chaos manipulation bleed through, the redness seeping around the flesh. "BLACK ARMS! AS ONE OF YOUR OWN KIND, I DEMAND AN AUDIENCE!"
