The Hedgehog War

Chapter 3.5 part one: Godly Power

The darkness was consuming him. He couldn't stop thinking about destruction. Almost like an illness to the brain. Sending feelings to the heart. A black heart. A shadow heart. The heart from the underworld. He felt it. He forgot about the real world and the beautiful things that were happening. All he was remembering was what killed his mother and his bullied moments. But also he feels something else. He wants to forget about the murder and the bullying moments he faced. He feels like he is linked. To someone with the same blood. An emperor to the throne of the world. One he feared may kill him.

"He has to be killed, I got no other choice, it may stop my memories, my endless pain of anger and sadness," Mephiles said to himself, "Should I destroy another city??"

Mephiles kept pondering and then he remembers the person he wanted to kill. A person he was mad at for the longest time and even to this day he is still mad. If Mephiles was able to live to this day then this person who had more power back then could possibly do the same. The person responsible for his mother's death. His father also known as Mephodile. If Mephiles can find and kill him it may make him forget about his mother's death and possibly give even more power to eradicate a certain animal. Mephiles then ventured out looking for him but couldn't seem to find him. It took weeks and even months but one day he felt something. Something that could barely be felt. His instincts tell him to follow the feeling in search of his father and so he follows. It took 3 days but eventually the feeling led him to a cold and wet cave. He went through and the more deeper he goes the deeper the feeling gets. Another flashback happens to him as a teenage boy venturing everywhere in search of his father. He finds him in an dark ally with another body right next to him. It seems like he killed yet another person. Mephiles went closer to look and to his surprise it was his older brother that left his home 5 years before his mother died. The only loved one who he loved more than anyone even his mother has died. He was filled with rage.
"I see you found me, son" Mephodile said in a whisper almost like he was weak.
Mephiles charged but was pushed back with an unnoticed force.
"There's no point son, you can't defeat me, the only way you defeat me is if you hate me just as much as you hate yourself to love," Mephodile stood up and faced him.
He still looked young almost like a young adult.
"How could you do this to brother and mother, what goal are you trying to get?" Mephiles asked fists clenched

"Let me ask you a question son, how much do you want to believe about my goal," Mephodile responded.

Mephiles was confused and demanded to get an answer

"Fine here's your answer, I only did it to get your attention so you could get more powerful, your mother was in your way as well as your brother," Mephodile responded.

Mephiles couldn't believe it. All his father did was to get his attention and get powerful like his dad. He charged with rage but Mephodile was too quick and gets pushed to the ground and gets picked up by the neck and forced on the wall.

"It's what I have to do to get killed , son" Mephodile whispers into Mephiles ears, "I want you to get strong"

Mephiles tried to squirm free but couldn't breath and is dropped unconscious. While he was closing his eyes his dad said his final words. I'll be waiting in the future for you, I will and will always love you, son.
His flashback ends and he sweated profusely. He was finally ready. About 2 hours in to the cave he finds a door. Normal handle but the door had prescriptions. As soon as he entered flames started to form on candles. He walked through to find an empty throne and after the blue fires lit around the throne a blue silhouette was appearing. The door closed with a bang and made Mephiles turn around. It was locked and wasn't opening. He turned back to see a blue hedgehog. His father. His enemy. His true identity.

"Congratulations son, you found me, you still hate me?" Mephodile teased.

"I will always hate you" Mephiles responded.

"Good I was hoping you would so I can finall get killed."

"Why do you want to get killed?"

"To end my eternal suffering" Mephodile stood up and started pacing around the room, "now you wouldn't understand, but once I explain you would want to die as well. My pain is like your like your mother dying and your brother too, but for me, it was a part of myself. My father hated my good side. He wanted me to be strong but he knew my good side is what was influencing it. So he took it." Mephodile explained with a clenched fist.

"You take the identity of someone I pictured to fight as my worthy contender" Mephiles speaks, "I need to kill him, he is linked to me, he is what is keeping me from forgetting my memories."

"Then why did you come here?"

"To become more powerful"

"Son, you think beating me would make you powerful?"

"It is what it is father" Mephiles started to clench his fists and went into a fighting form.

His father did the same. They both launched at each other and collided hitting each other fists. They hit so hard that the mountain they were inside was destroyed and it left a huge crater where they were standing.

"You've gotten stronger, how many cities have you destroyed?" Mephodile grinned.

"As many as the amount of animals you killed" Mephiles responded.

Their fight was large. Mountains around destroyed. Valleys left like huge lakes. Their battle shook the earth or even so the whole universe. Like the battle of the gods only one animal rules the godly power.
