Sonic.Exe : The Disaster

- The Origins -

It was a normal day for Sonic The Hedgehog, running through Green Hills as always. The blue hedgehog was out on his daily run, enjoying the feeling of the breeze running through his quills, the air in his lungs, and the feeling of grass and dirt underneath his shoes. Yes, this was one of the best feelings to ever experience, it was so peaceful, and so nice to see the scenery of Green Hills. 

Sonic had been running for awhile, so he figured that now would be a good time for a small break. He stopped by a couple of trees, sitting down with his back on the trunk of the tree, and his legs crossed in a comfortable position. He took a deep breath, and exhaled, feeling as relaxed as ever. It was overall a good day so far, he helped Tails destroy one of Eggman's robots, which was pretty easy, in his opinion. He also got to spend some time with his beloved Sally. They had been together for about a year now, and she's made the last year of his life so amazing, he couldn't ask for a better girlfriend. He hung out with Amy and Shadow, as well. He had never expected those two to become a couple, but it was better than Amy chasing Sonic all of the time, besides, those two sure seemed happy, the same kind of happy he felt with Sally. He made flower crowns with Cream, they ended up making a lot of crowns for everyone. They gave Cheese, Cream's beloved companion and friend, a single flower, as his head is too small for a flower crown.

As Sonic thought to himself, he heard a beeping noise from the watch-like device on his wrist. This watch thing is how Sonic communicated with Tails, and it appeared that Tails was trying to reach him.
"Sonic? Sonic, are you there?"

Sonic turned on his watch device, pressing the button Tails told him to press anytime he wanted to talk to Tails, and responded. "Yes, I'm here, buddy. What's wrong?"

"Nothing's up yet, Sonic. I was checking up on you, making sure you're okay and all of that, has anything suspicious happened at all or is everything good?"   Tails asked.

"Everything seems fine, and I am okay, I'm going to be heading back soon, I had taken a small break from my run is all." Sonic replied.

"Okay then, see you when you return. Stay safe Sonic." Tails said, as if he were talking to a toddler. Sonic flashed him a smile before responding.

"You know me, Tails. I'll be alright, don't you worry yourself."

After that, Sonic dismissed the conversation, turning his watch off and standing up. He was about to start running in the direction he came from, but then, he heard a noise. It wasn't a small noise, either. This sounded like something you'd hear in a horror movie or something. Heavy breathing, and raspy noises were coming from somewhere.

"Weird.. I guess Egghead's making realistic robots now?"

Sonic walked towards the source of the noise, but saw nothing on the ground. He looked up, and his eyes widened. Above him, was this reddish-black creature, with demonic looking red eyes that pierced into his soul. This thing looked like a giant beetle of some sort, but it was breathing heavily, and drool was coming from its mouth. Its mouth, filled with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of blood stained sharp teeth. It looked at Sonic with the most sinister glare, before it slowly started crawling towards Sonic. 

Sonic stood there, unable to move. He was a bit scared, yes, but he wasn't going to let this thing know that. He was Sonic The Hedgehog after all, and he refused to let this thing terrorize the other Mobians. He spindashed, jumping up and trying to hit the creature with his sharp quills, but he missed. The demon-thing lurched forward at Sonic while he was recovering from the spindash, forcing open his mouth and entering Sonic's body. Sonic tried to pull the demon thing out of him, but the demon thing was much faster. Internally, it felt as if Sonic was shrinking, he started to shake and tremble, and he began to cough out blood. He felt like passing out, and he tried to scream for somebody, but nobody could hear him nor help him. The demon thing laughed, as it continued to do these things to the blue hedgehog.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Your body is mine now, and I'm going to kill all of your friends and collect their souls, there's NOTHING you can do about it, AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Sonic could only continue to cough up blood as he felt more and more dizzy. He looked into the blood and saw his own reflection. Before his very eyes, he was shifting, changing, into something completely different. His light blue fur was now darkening to a midnight blue color. His fingers, started to grow medium sized claws with sharp edges. His teeth, began to grow into very sharp ones, causing the blue hedgehog even more pain. His eyes were changing, too. His left eye was now completely black, while his iris/pupil was a bright red, glowing red as well. His right eye was slowly becoming engulfed in the new colors. Sonic began to cry, out of worry for himself and his friends, but he noticed that his tears were blood. He smelled the strong odor of iron coming from his eyes, and saw droplets of red dripping down his face. He spit the blood out of his mouth, and screamed as loud as he possibly could. He screamed out of agony, and helplessness, he felt so alone and useless. His friends would surely suffer because of what is happening, his girlfriend, too, and Sonic couldn't do anything about it, as he was now slowly losing consiousness....

Sonic had stopped breathing, and the moment he did, his body become fully demonized. He was no longer himself anymore, He was someone, someTHING else. And this thing, was out for blood and souls. It said it's first few words in Sonic's body. Noticing that his new voice now sounded like Sonic's, but more demonic sounding.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I've finally found a good body to play my games in. The body of the famous 'Sonic The Hedgehog'! I look forward to playing a game with his friends... They don't stand a chance against me."

The thing inside of Sonic's body then began to look for Sonic's friends, he knew where he wanted to take them, and he knew the right place to take them, a place where only the most selfish would survive. He needed 8 souls before he could own Sonic's body forever, and kill everything that lived in this universe, creating an army of demonized corpses just like him that would bow down to his every command. He had the memories of Sonic, so he knew exactly who he'd take, and play his demented game with.

Tails.

Knuckles.

Eggman.

Amy.

Cream.

Sally.

Shadow.

Rouge.

Yes, these were the 8 souls he'd take, and he doubted that any of them would put up much of a fight. Tails is just a kid, he is also too wimpy to fight back, so he'd be an easy target.

Knuckles would probably be the one to fight back the most, especially with his frenemy relationship with Sonic and his extreme strength.

Eggman is too fat and old, he can't even run fast anyways.

Amy, all he'd have to do is take away that dumb hammer of hers.

Cream, she's also a wimp, she'd probably start crying the moment he appeared in front of her. A quick scare and her soul is easy pickings.

Sally, she'd probably be the easiest, since she's with Sonic. Or WAS with Sonic.

Shadow, he is also frenemies with Sonic, but would not hesitate to fight him, he'd be one of the difficult ones.

Rouge, she can fight, but she'd probably be an easy target.

The demonized Sonic laughed to itself, preparing to have some fun with these 8.

"I'll see you all very soon...."
