Sacrifices

Sonic P.O.V.

If I could turn back time to the days fighting against Eggman, I would love to take that chance. But knowing the reality I'm living in, time travel is a big no-no. At least for me. Sure, it happened with Soleanna. Nevertheless, I can't just do it. Ha.. How I envy Silver sometimes. Sure he had it worse with Iblis destroying his world and all. My head can't just get around it. After that event, me dying, the emeralds won't go to the past. Believe me, I've tried. There's a lot of things I would very much love to change. But then again, the future may not be the same should I have changed it.

That's why I have to keep moving forward, preventing myself from wallowing in despair. Nonetheless, moving forward sometimes could be very painful. You just felt as if you wanted to just let go. Let go of all of it. Let the world be condemned. Just so, you could feel okay again. Even if it means to become a monster.

And now, I could feel slowly becoming a monster. I know of it, but I didn't stop it because I didn't want to. Not after what he had done. Being who I was, a gold-hearted hero wasn't enough. Not enough to stop him. That's why I had to choose the final, and certainly the last way of stopping him. I don't care what will happen to me. Even if it means I have to turn back to finally put him down for good, I would gladly sacrifice myself. I just can't let him free. Not anymore.

All because of the emotions filled up to the brim in my chest, any room for foolish moral and hesitation were no more. Behind me, I could hear them screaming. I have disappointed them, I know. Especially Dark. They believed in me which I very much appreciate. And the earlier me would agree that what I am about to do is foolish. But this present of me is no longer rational. They simply don't care anymore. Not after what had happened.

The raging sea I once was; earlier, I would kill not to even set a foot in it as tempting as it was. But now, not so much. With no hesitation, not sparing a glance knowing Dark had arrived, I dived right in, not giving him a chance to pull the stunt he had done some time ago. I gladly let the current take me, drowning me in the raging sea, letting the ember ablaze even further. In my heart, all I care about is to put him down six feet under. Should I lose myself after the deed is done, so be it.

One of my regrets is being unable to fully utilize Twilight's power. The form I achieved goes unused. As much as the form is seemingly the only means of completely eradicating the dark demon, I just can't seem to naturally tap into it. The world I'm living in is not letting me go easy. Everything is too chaotic.

On top of that, he specifically made it harder for me to even breathe for Chaos' sake! And I am supposed to be the fastest thing alive and yet I am a tad too late to save them.. He. Will. Pay.

And so the memories came rushing in, feeding my fury as I slowly succumbed into the unknown force within me. I can't no longer stop it anymore. Whatever happens now, happens. I simply don't care.

At the 'unknown' place where Mayhem is

The exterior of the castle was in ruins, vine creeping everywhere. It looked to have been abandoned for a quite long time. Rusted armors, swords and shields laid around, seeming to have long forgotten its shine and pride it brought to its wielders. Dark clouds hung heavily on the sky, where Darkness slowly yet surely was brewing. Which there he was. The despicable demon.
