Fatigue [Sonadow]

Fragments (P5)

Where the hell is Sonic?

"Don't be so surprised, Shadow the Hedgehog," The voice echoed around the cliff, Shadow couldn't figured out which direction he was from.

Mephiles laughed, "Thanks to you again, I'm reborn."

What?

"Yea, it was kinda hard to buy you some time, but I managed to do so!" The sing-song voice made Shadow's ear flinched.

Then his eyes widened.

"Sonic..?"

Sonic reappeared again, but this time, he's holding the other pieces of the scepter that they found.

The scepter let out a blunt purple light, after a while, it rocketed down to the wasted pits.

A brighter purple light flashed, Mephiles could be seen after, floating in the air near the end of the cliff where Shadow stood.

"Long time no see," Once again, Mephiles laughed.

Sonic was unamused, "Hey!"

Sonic was helping Mephiles, the whole time?

Shadow's eyes locked with Sonic's, that damned bastard, he's fucking grinning.

"Chaos, ugh!" Shadow felt pain this time when he tried to teleport.

"Don't bother, the scepter drained you all the way until we get here." Sonic smirked at the wounded black hedgehog, "You know, this sneak attack almost killed me last time!"

"Wait," Sonic stared blankly with the same old smile, "it did."

Shadow cough out more blood as he try to use his power again.

"Now that the troublesome nuisance is delt with, the rest would be easy," Mephiles cleared out the energy spear and disappeared in thin air. His voice echoed in distance, "I'll see you again, Sonic the Hedgehog."

Without the spear to support the weight of Shadow's body, he heavily kneeled down, making a thump on the ground, and fell forward.

Blood were rushing out of his body like an overflowing sink, he could really die.

This is a pathetic death.

"Haha, this is awkward, to think you would be dead because of me," Sonic smiled, "The news would be crazy!"

"... He's...supposed to be..." Shadow still trying to stand up, his arms were pushing against the ground weakly.

"You'd think Mephiles wouldn't have a backup plan? He's a time traveller for god's sake." Sonic responded to the struggling hedgehog.

"It's no use. Time has no end and no beginning." Sonic slowly walked towards the badly injured hedgehog, the night has blended the color of dark red blood and his black quills, making the scene looked less horrific.

"Just the same for everyone, no end and no beginning, your life has been defined ever since existence," He came closer to Shadow as he talked.

"What are you talking about?" Shadow hardly made out these words, breathing became harder and harder.

"Don't you see?" Sonic made a face, his brows slide down on sides but he's chuckling, looking sad and looking like he's joking at the same time, "I'm the hero!"

"Everybody," Sonic voice starts to shake, "every fucking body, relies on ME."

"They can't live without ME! I was born, a damn hero." Sonic's smile and eyes started to show anger. "And Mephiles, was born an enemy, we are LIVING, in a fucking cycle."

"And I, can't LIIIVE, with disappointment," He cover his face in pain, dramatically showing sadness.

"Sooooo, I just have to erase their existence and my existence, nothing would define us anymore! There would be no more," Sonic started laughed like Mephiles.

Disgusting.

"No. MORE!" Sonic yelled as he reached out to his inhibitor rings and pulled out with brute force, he grabbed Shadow's neck then with a lower voice, he muttered, "Pain."

Shadow's pain doubled, he has no strength to even struggled out from Sonic grasp on his neck, "It's okay Shadow, I promise you a quick death, I'll be quick to erase everyone's existence.

"It's such a shame, amongst the others, I like you the most, I'll miss you."

"It's just, it's faster in progress with you gone."

Sonic stood at the very end of the cliff, held out his arm that was clenching Shadow's neck to the hollow.

"Bye bye, Shadow the Hedgehog."

The last thing Shadow saw was the cliff going upwards quickly, with Sonic's silhouette became smaller and smaller, and then pitch black took place.

And he remembered the eyes. Sonic's eyes.

He needs a god damned therapy.

That was his last thought.
