The Light In The Dark

Blood on Mobius

(In this story, Shadow's name as an alien is Lurzo Baxertoni)

Lurzo POV:

As he was pushed to go to Mobius to take it over, he it setting his plan out carefully. Needing to find some big leader in the mix of mobian territory. He had a third eye on his forehead as well as four fingers and claws. His tail had spikes on it, as well as his teeth all being sharp. It was late at night that he was put down onto Mobius. He is in the middle of a dark woodland area. He was close to a campsite as he heard the mobian's speaking to each other. Slowly picking up the language. One was a brown wolfling and a tabby cat. Learning the language steadily... he then accidentally stepped on a twig. Alerting the wolfling and tabby cat. They both pick up their flashlights and point it towards Lurzo. It blinded his third eye as both the mobian's screamed and ran. Lurzo growled and chased after them on all fours. He got the tabby cat first and slit her throat. While he sniffed out the wolf and killed him by disembowelment. He dragged the two of them together as he studied their bodies and learned their features. He hid his third eye and morphed his teeth to be less sharp, apart from the fangs. Making an extra finger on each hand and forming paw pads. After he morphed himself to look more like a mobian, he buried the bodies and walked off.

Lurzo studied the land and saw a few things during his journey. Finding farms, shops, houses, machines, and unique clothing styles. He was surprised at how smart these 'creatures' were. During his long walk, he kept hearing about a guy named Sonic. Lurzo just assumed this was some sort of huge leader or authority figure on this planet. He plots on how to find him and what he may look like. He starts getting small details in his mind. Around 5'3, dark blue spikes as well as fur. Green eyes with star pupils. Light blue designs around his eyes. Speed was his main attribute he kept hearing. One day, while walking... around early morning, someone had sped past him, knocking him down to the ground. He growled and groaned. When all of a sudden that same mobian came back unexpectedly. To Lurzo's surprise... it was Sonic. The blue blur leaned down and held his paw out for Lurzo to grab.

S: "Hello, sir! I am so sorry for knocking you over... I didn't see you when passing by."

His apology wasn't taken fully, but Lurzo took Sonic's paw and picked himself up off the ground. Brushing the dirt off of his fur, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Sonic checked out Lurzo's features and smiled greatly.

S: "I like the tail! And I realized your paw pads are a lime green color. That's really unique!"

Lurzo scoffed and crossed his arms. Not taking the compliments any time soon. He then looked away as Sonic then noticed the different eye colors.

S: "Wow! You have heterochromia in your eyes, too! Man, you're cool."

Luzro smiled a bit and then let the smile fade. That's when Sonic spoke once more.

S: "By the way, what's your name?"

Sonic had such a cheery voice. It was kind of weird for him to be asking Lurzo's name. He then remembers he isn't even on his home planet. He sighs and goes through the language real quick.

L: "I don't have a name."

He didn't want to be caught, never hearing such a unique name on this planet. He wanted to fit in so he didn't get caught, and if he could be given a name... it would be easier to hide.

S: "Hm... how about... Shadow! Ya know, because of your dark fur and the shut-off demeanor?"

Lurzo understood what he meant by that. He nodded his head... actually taking a small liking to such a name.

(I will be referring to Lurzo as Shadow now, and instead of L: it's will be Sh:)

Sonic had invited him to come hang out at his house with Tails and Knuckles. I mean, Sonic hoped they would like to meet a new friend that he was able to meet. About an hour walk and a long, tiring conversation... they finally made it. Once they walked in, Tails noticed the new guest, as well as a Knuckles. They stared for a moment... the awkward silence choking at his throat.
