Reason for Insanity

Battle in the ARK

They teleported to the Ark and looked around.

"Nobody seems to be here at the moment," Blaze said. "Which area do you think Sonic's in?"

Silver shrugged. She looked around and saw the room with the transformation serums. "We need to grab some of those, don't we?"

Blaze nodded and grabbed some. The serums they had could transform them into a bear, plane and centipede. "Come on, Silver. We need to find Sonic. Have you ever been here before?" The two started down one of the hallways. Silver shook her head. "Neither have I..." Blaze looked around as they walked.

"When should we use these serums?" Silver asked her.

"When we have to."

The female hedgehog nodded and continued to walk. They soon heard a noise like a baby crying. Both sets of ears stood straighter and they looked around for the source. They walked into a room and saw Shadic. He had cuts and bruises across his body.

"Shadic!" Blaze yelled. The two women ran into the room. The baby hedgehog saw them and held out his arms. Silver picked him up and soon his crying stopped. "Who did this to him?" She asked her partner.

"It must have been Sonic." Blaze looked around for the blue hedgehog, but didn't see him.

A few minutes later, they heard a voice. "Step away from my son."

The two looked behind themselves at the hedgehog now standing in the doorway.

"Sonic..." Silver said. "What the hell are you doing to your son?"

"I'm raising him."

"By abusing him? You're doing the same thing that you went through as a kid!"

Sonic looked at the two with confusion. "Is there something wrong with that?"

Blaze and Silver nodded, and the female cat spoke. "Of course there's something wrong with it. Abuse is never a good thing."

Sonic giggled. "Well, I don't care! I'm raising my son and you can't do anything about it!"

He turned into Shadow and lunged at them. Blaze summoned fire, throwing it in Shadow's direction as she attacked them. Silver moved away, not wanting to be hit by any of it. Shadow brought out his knife and used his telekinesis on the couple. Silver countered it with her own and was thrown back. As she was thrown back, Silver managed to keep her hold on Shadic. Shadow growled and became Sonic. Using his speed, he snatched Shadic from Silver's hands. The two females looked at each other and brought out the centipede and plane serums.

"Do you think these will help at all?" Blaze asked.

"They will," Silver said. She held the centipede one and plunged it into her arm then began to transform. An itching started all over the hedgehog's body as she stood there. Shuddering,she stared in horror as the fur and quills fell off him. Left in its place was his bare skin. Silver looked around at her body in shock. She never had known what she looked like under everything, nor had she ever wanted to find out. Pain ran down both of her sides, extending its reach down his legs as well. Sixteen pairs of large insect legs ripped from her body as her arms shrunk to match. Silver screamed in pain, the sound echoing through the room. Both legs fused together into a single mass adding to her body. The feet at the end formed the back end of the centipede. Her head changed at the same time as her insides, the intensity of the pain bringing another scream from her until she was incapable of it. Long antennae curved off her head as the eyes and pincers took the place of everything else. In seconds, she was done and shrank down to a normal centipede's size.

In a few minutes, she had turned into a centipede while Blaze began to transform into a plane. Blaze injected her serum into her arm as well before closing her eyes. Spreading her arms, she felt them grow heavy. Blaze winced and fell forward to the floor. Once she hit, the pain in her front had her gasping. Unable to lift her arms, Blaze panicked for a brief moment. Her legs were just as heavy, and she could feel her fur hardening. Closing her eyes again, Blaze let out a calming breath. She presumed this was normal. Both legs fused together, tail lifting up near the end to form the upper part of the tail. Her feet bent to the sides, completing the tail of the plane. Both arms forcefully angled downward. The fur on top of her head formed the glass window of the cockpit. The rest of the plane's nose took shape, painfully altering her head in the process. At the tips of her wings, missiles took shape, ready to fire at her order. Blaze's form lifted off the ground high enough for the underbelly to form, giving her natural body a much larger curve before altering to the metal of the plane. More weapons came off the underside as the insides changed as well. Its mind became an AI controlling the jet, quickly getting used to the different commands it could give.

Sonic's eyes widened and he chuckled, looking at them. The centipede scuttled up and began to attack with its small pincers so it could poison him.

"You really think this will work?" Sonic laughed.

The centipede scuttled up to him. He tried to kill it but it moved too fast. He heard the plane's engines rev up and looked at it. It flew outside and began to fire on him. Growling, he avoided most of the shots. the centipede was hard for him to keep track of while he did , he felt a sting and yelled in pain. Looking down, he saw the centipede crawling up his leg. It was a hideous thing, and he was already beginning to feel the effects of the poison. Sonic shook his leg in an effort to get the centipede off of him. The distraction gave the plane the opening it needed, and it fired at Sonic again. He yelled in pain as the bullets hit his stomach. Blood came out of the wounds and he fell to the ground. The place circled again as Sonic watched the centipede climb its way up his body.

"Get off..." Sonic growled. The wounds hurt too much for him to move again.

The centipede said nothing. It continued to crawl up his stomach and stung him once more before burrowing into his belly button. Sonic's eyes widened and he screamed in horror as he saw it inside him. His telekinesis flared up as he tried removing the centipede. He didn't dare change into something else; it would probably just be stuck in his body. The telekinesis did nothing. He transformed into Black Doom and tried to remove the insect but couldn't.

Black Doom looked around in disgust and worry as he heard the plane nearby again. A massive explosion rang the ARK as the plane shot torpedoes as him. The alien roared and tried to deflect them but couldn't. He could also feel the centipede poison him from the inside. The alien winced as the poison spread quicker than before. The torpedoes luckily didn't hit him head-on, though he would've preferred that outcome.

"Should you really be firing those at me?" Black Doom asked. "You might hit Shadic."

The plane stopped firing and landed. Black Doom fell to the ground as the centipede continued its way through his body. He turned back into Sonic and began to feel sick. The centipede was like a parasite.

"Damn thing..." Sonic felt like he was about to vomit, leaning over on the floor.

He did so, and fell unconscious. The place turned back into Blaze and grinned, then looked at Sonic.

"Can you come out, Silver?" she asked. Turning Sonic onto his back, she wondered what to do with him.

The centipede didn't do anything. Blaze frowned; she wondered if it got stuck in his body. Sighing, she thought about taking Sonic to the hospital, or the insane asylum. Looking around, she made sure to find Shadic before lifting Sonic. She'd take him to the insane asylum and allow them to decide what to do with him. Picking Shadic up as well, Blaze teleported out of the ARK and walked inside the insane asylum.
