Sonic the Hedgehog: The Darkness Around Us [IC Thread/Started/Accepting in OOC Thread]

[supersonic4ever]

"Then I have the perfect thing for you," Eggman said. He pushed a red button on his remote, and a big plane came out of his hangar. "This should get us there in a flash. Don't worry, Tails. You can put your plane in the cargo bay," he offered. "We should get going," Sonic said. "Before we go, I'd to do one more thing. Computer! Run an Analysis of the affect this could have on us," Eggman said. It reported that it could cause a severe change in personality. "Let's go already!" Sonic said impatiently. "Okay," Eggman said.

[color="#FF8C00"][b]Tails was shocked at his rival's appearance (Shadow) but got passed it after an awkward introduction of "Sh-Sh-Shadow? Hey?" he then turned to eggman. "Alright, thanks eggman, I guess." Tails was slightly confused especially by the hoards of villagers, "Alright, the X-Tornado is in the Cargo bay, and now I got my Suit! Now wen need to find Horus."[/b][/color]

Leon was dancing his ass off in the club when he saw a rather attractive female bat walked in, Leon walked over sly as ever and winked at her, "Hey baby, what's up?"

[Mr. Hyde]

Shadow smirked. "Oh Tails...poor naive tails. This place is covered in Dark Chaos Energy. We can't escape it. Those suits won't help...but they might. Hell if i know. I'm resistant to Negative Chaos Energy unless i want to be affected by it. I'm a master in these arts." he said with a wicked smile. "Plus, we're not going to get done with anything here so let's get aboard Eggman's plane." *I don't trust him...i don't see why Sonic and his friends don't either...* he thought to himself. He then looked at Sonic, smirked, and teleported inside eggman's ship. He then found a comfy seat, sat back and relaxed.

_------------------------

Lance looked around for something to fight. But not just something to fight, something to kill. "So little weaklings, so little time." he said as he charged up dangerous amounts of Negative Chaos Energy. He then released it as a "Chaos Burst!' A huge explosion destroyed the whole area around him. "HAHAH!" He laughed to himself.

[supersonic4ever]

Once everybody was on, Eggman started the airship, considering it was a little too big to be a plane. "This flight should only take about 10 minutes," he said. "Amy, I want you to do a favor," Sonic said. "Keep an eye out for your friend's village. Then tell Eggman to land." Then, the ship lifted up. In about 5 seconds, they were in the air. Even though it was a short trip, Sonic decided to rest to pass the time. He got in a comfortable position, and relaxed. Meanwhile, Eggman was working hard to pilot the ship. About 30 seconds of the way through, he finally got in a stable position. "This should be a smooth flight from now on," he announced.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Amy nodded her head at Sonic's suggestion and quickly made her way over to a part of the airplane from which she could look down upon the ground and watch for anything that would give away Horus' village. She was suddenly surprised at herself, realizing that normally she couldn't think about much other than Sonic, especially when she was around him and now all she was thinking of was Horus' safety. She shrugged her shoulders slightly, thinking that just maybe that was a part of her growing maturity. Off in the distance, she could see a few small plumes of smoke coming up from old cooking fires that had been left unattended by the villagers. Her eyes widened as she recognized a peculiar rock formation jutting out of the ground not far from the village, that was it.

"See that smoke in the distance? The village should be right around there."

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

The purple female bat turned her head as she heard someone approaching her, putting that devilish little grin of hers on as she looked the fox up and down. The fox wasn't bad looking, but more than that she, well, 'sensed' something about him that was different, almost like the same sort of energy that had just washed through her was also present in him. She looked him up and down once more, letting out a playful laugh before she answered him.

"Nothing, though it does look like [i]you're[/i] up, big boy. Mind tellin' me yer name?"

[Mr. Hyde]

Shadow looked at Amy. He could tell that she was thinking of this Horus fellow. He laughed to himself. He was secluded by himself, which he normally liked. But right now, he needed to talk to someone. Who knows where Rouge was. She was really the only one who talked to him. He walked up to Amy. "So how'd you even met this 'Horus' guy? I've never heard of him?"

------------------------------------

Lance pushed the fox aside. "Back off guy, she's way out of your league." he said smiling at her, and smirking at him. "My name's Lance, Lance the Hedgehog. And would you give me the honor of telling me your name?" he asked the bat.

[supersonic4ever]

Eggman said, "Any idea why the village is smoking?" "Maybe it was pressured by its friends," Sonic joked. "Ha, ha," Eggman said sarcastically. "Buckle your seatbelts! Commencing landing." Then, the airship no longer was moving. It was hovering in the air. It then started descending. When it landed, it was only about 500 feet from the village. "It's time to see if these suits work," Sonic said. He was the first one to come out. "Well, look at that! They do!" "Of course they do!" Eggman said. When they got to the village, there was an unconscious white hedgehog with a red trench coat lying on the ground. "Hey Amy, is that him?" he asked.

OOC: In case you were wondering, the group of villagers are with them.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Amy practically hit the ceiling she was startled so much when Shadow suddenly asked her a question. She turned around to face him, still a little startled but intending to answer him. She let out a sigh, before taking in a deep breath and answering him.

"Well...It happened that I got lost chasing after Sonic one day, it was about a year ago, and I was just wandering around in the forest with no idea where I was going. I got scared and started calling for help. Horus happened to be the only one near enough to hear me and, well, he came and led me out of the forest to his village. He's only Nineteen, but everyone there looks up to him...almost like a leader."

As soon as the air ship touched down, Amy rushed for the nearest exit, looking around the village for anyone and anything. Her eyes fell upon the unconscious form of the red clothed white hedgehog, unsure what to make of him. She slowly made her way over to the unconscious one, realizing quickly that it was Horus...just somewhat changed. She reached down and shook him, trying to wake him up.

"Horus...HORUS! Wake up!"

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

The now white anthropomorphic hedgehog slowly opened his eyes as he felt someone shaking him. He quickly stood up, his back facing the group who had come, and after a few silent moments he turned around just as the pink one was about to hug him.

"Horus, I'm so glad your oka-"

She didn't get the chance to finish her sentence, the white hedgehog balled his left hand into a fist and swung it straight and hard for her gut, sending her flying a substantial distance into the forest at the edge of the clearing in which the village had been built. He looked down at his arm, surprised as how much strength he possessed now. A wicked grin came to his face as he turned his face up to look the nearest of the group, bringing up an open hand and building a massive orb of negative chaos energies within it.

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

The bat let out a quiet giggle as the fox was pushed out of the way by a VERY impressive looking hedgehog who she sensed as having the same sort of power within him as she and the other. She thought for a moment, not really remembering her name enough to answer immediately. After a few moments she answered with the only name she could really think of at the time.

"Call me Slaanesh. Oh, and by the way, I decide who's in my league."

[Mr. Hyde]

Shadow looked enviously at the White Hedgehog. "So...he's the one." He then saw Amy run up to him to see if he was alright. "You should consider yourself lucky Horus. Having someone care for you that much. It's been so long since i've had someone care for me just like she does for you..." He saw Horus punch her in the gut and send her flying. "AMY!!!!" he shouted as he chaos controlled behind her, caught her, put her down, and teleported next to Horus. He grabbed his arm to stop the Negative Chaos Orb. "What's your deal man?!" he asked, infuriated.

-----------------------------

Lance winked. "Slaanesh huh? That sounds pretty exotic. So am i in your league?" he asked the bat.

[supersonic4ever]

Sonic was horrified as he saw Horus punch Amy. "Amy!" he screamed. As soon as Shadow talked, Sonic closed his gaping mouth and ran toward Horus, grabbing his arm. "Shadow, pin him down!" he said. "It looks like that energy wave has affected Amy's friend," Eggman announced to everybody in hearing range. "You think?!" Sonic said, annoyed and furious. Eggman thought about the situation, how it got started. Then, he switched his train of thought toward how Horus was affected. [i]It seems it can turn even the most pure-hearted people dark,[/i] he thought. [i]I wonder if there's a way to reverse it...[/i] "Can someone go check on Amy?!" Sonic yelled.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

As Shadow and Sonic grabbed hold of his arms, Horus let out a quiet chuckle that, in all likelihood, sounded quite insane. He turned his hands around and grabbed the arms with which he was being grabbed and leapt into the air. He sent himself flipping forward in a circle and after a single rotation sent Shadow and Sonic hurling towards the ground with all of his immense strength, which was more than enough to surpass that of a certain red echidna. Now, still in the air, he stabilized himself and aimed his palms to the ground. Without a single word, he let loose an attack which was similar in form to a flame thrower, except that the flames were composed of negative chaos energies. Whether the flames struck them or not, they would spread into a lingering inferno which would not burn itself out. As for Amy, she was very much unconscious in the brush.

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

Slaanesh let a playful giggle escape her lips as she looked Lance up and down, true he was impressive looking but she wasn't really interested in him. However, there wasn't any reason she couldn't make him think that she was. She reached out and gently touched the small tuft of fur on his upper chest, gently running her fingers down his chest slightly.

"Well...you could be. It you impress me."

[MortalKombatSmoke]

As Leon was about to give his name he was pushed aside by some Hedgehog, "You punk!" Leon then was about to preform a Chaos wave at the interupting Hedgehog when suddenly dark gas filled the room and screams were shared between girls and guys alike.

[color="#4B0082"][b]Suddenly a mysterious figure jumped down in the smoke, you could hear the sounds of chains rattling. "Hello ladies." the thing swept his hair out of his eyes as the smoke vanished, he then saw a lovely bat in the other side. He walked towards her and swung his chain over his shoulders and it wrapped around his torso twice, he then stuck his arm out and chaos energy around it transformed it into a hook and he knocked the hedgehog with her over, he leaned over, grabbed the bat's hand and kissed it, "Bonjour Mademoiselle. Je suis Dante." Dante then winked at her, "Pleasure to meet you." he said in a french accent.[/b][/color]

Meanwhile!

[color="#FF8C00"][b]Tails just watched as Amy moved along, talking about Horus but when they found him Tails gasped when Horus punched her, "Sonic! This doesn't seem right! Horus wouldn't punch Amy, the dark energy didn't get him too did it? We can reverse it some how..." Tails said thinking to himself. Tails ran over to the unconscious Amy to see if he could help her in any way.[/b][/color]

[supersonic4ever]

Sonic let out a grunt as he was knocked unconscious by hitting the ground. "Tails! Follow me. I have an idea," Eggman said. Once they were in the airship, they headed to the lab. Eggman got the materials needed, and started drawing a blueprint. After working with the fox for a few minutes, they had come up with a ring very much like Shadow's, except it was black. "This should draw most of the Chaos Energy out, hopefully reverting Horus back to normal. If not, it may help him regain control," Eggman explained. When they came back out, a fire had spread across the village. Somehow, Eggman had managed to get to Horus' back, behind the fire, and throw it Frisbee-style towards his wrist.

[Mr. Hyde]

"Gah! This guy is strong!" Shadow said as he jet into the air. He hovered and saw the waves of fiery chaos energy. *This guy's fairly tough! But let's see if he can stand up to my,* "Chaos Spear!!!" he said as he shot a Spear of Chaos Energy at Horus. "You're going to be tough! I can already tell!" he said with a smirk.

-------------------------

Lance blushed as the bat played with his hair. He was shocked to be knocked to the side by another hedgehog. "THE HELL!" he shouted as his non-existent eyes turned red. He put his hand on the new hedgehog's shoulder. "C'mon man, i know you did not just do that. I was getting my swag on." *There's nothing special about this bat...why's everyone falling for her?* he asked himself.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Horus let out a bit of an insane laugh as the spear flew at him, and he quickly unleashed one of his own which easily countered the shot, producing a small explosion in the air between them. He decided it was time to show the other black hedgehog how it was done, the hard way.

"Chaos Control!"

In a flash he was gone and just as quickly he appeared behind Shadow, charging a burst of chaos energies into his palm. He might actually have managed to strike him with it...if it weren't for the fact that a certain Piko-Piko hammer came flying through the air and nailed him dead in the face. Amy had woken up from where she had been in the brush and, upon seeing sonic lying unconscious surrounded by flames, she rushed to the aid of her friends. Now she ran as fast as she could to where the blue anthropomorphic fool was lying. She grabbed him by the arms and pulled him out of the inferno he had been in, looking down at him from inside of he suit.

"Sonic...SONIC!"

[i]Meanwhile[/i]

Slaanesh was actually rather surprised by the appearance of this sudden stranger and, moreover, by his politeness and obvious ability to flatter. She might have blushed, if she hadn't caught herself. She calmly looked between Dante and Leon, the wicked smile on her face.

"Boys, boys. There's no need to get into a fight over me."

[Mr. Hyde]

Shadow growled. That ridiculous pink hedgehog basically just had to save his life. "That Hedgehog's gonna get it!" he said tightening his fists enough to crack every single bone in his hand. Chaos Energy emitted from his body. "AMY!?! TAILS!?! EGGMAN?!?! These Dark Mobians are ridiculously strong! If we need a fighting chance, we need to find the chaos emeralds. I'm probably gonna have a tough time dealing with them..." he said with a smirk. "Time for a light speed attack..." he said as he gained energy from around him enough to turn all of his body into a bright light. He raced behind Horus and shouted, "CHAOS BLAST!" The chaos energy erupted from shadow's body eliminating everything around him.

-----------------------

Lance looked at the two love-stricken weirdos. "Whatever dudes, you guys are weird. Have fun flirting with that bat." he said turning around and sitting in a different chair. He ordered a Dr. Jalapeno and drank half of it in one shot.

[MortalKombatSmoke]

[color="#FF8C00"][b]Tails grabbed Amy and Eggman, knowing that Sonic could escape on his own and flew backwards away from the blast so they were not hurt by the wide range attack. "Why is Shadow always so straight forward!?"
[/b][/color]
Meanwhile!

[color="#483D8B"][b]Dante gave a faint smirk as he put one hand on the Bat's cheek, "May I buy you a drink?" Dante asked ignoring the man standing net to him.[/b][/color] Leon was appalled by what he was seeing, "Hey French a******!" he yelled, "What do you think you're do-" [color="#483D8B"][b]Dante let his fist out and punched the fox in the nose.[/b][/color] Leon was punched and fell straight to the ground, over dramatically of course.

[supersonic4ever]

Sonic woke up because of Amy trying to wake him. "Amy? You're alright," he said. When Tails picked Amy up, he was left. He caught the sight of the blast just in time, and ran at full speed away from it. He stopped in the middle of the forest, when the blast finally went away. Fortunately, he remembered how to get to the village from there, by remembering the path he had taken. Once he got back there, the village was demolished. [i]How will the villagers react?[/i] he thought. He went back to the ship, somehow unharmed, and sat down. Eggman came in a few seconds later and got in the pilot seat.

[supersonic4ever]

bump

[MortalKombatSmoke]

OOC: did u PM everyone who applied and tell them that we started?
[b][color=orange]Tails was thankful that Sonic got out Okay, he was awfully worried. But after that event, Tails and the group re-entered the ship, "Alright, Horus has been infected, well... now what should we do? I feel like there's something wrong...." Tails looked down in his seat and frowned a tad, but he knew there would be another great adventure ahead and he couldn't wait for it to start. Him and Sonic always did have the best adventures.[/color][/b]

[supersonic4ever]

OOC: As far as I know, everyone who was accepted has posted already.

"Tails, I don't know if 'infected' is the right word," Sonic said. "That's right. He's simply been changed. From the looks of it, he has lost all memory of his past self. The only other explanation I can come up with is that his memories are buried so deep in his mind that they cannot be easily retrieved. Think of it as a sort of brainwashing. I doubt that Horus would really do this if he were normal, considering he befriended Amy. Am I not right, Amy?" Eggman explained/asked as the ship lifted up into the sky. "Hey, Eggman. How long does the resistancy on these suits last?" Sonic asked. "Oh, probably around four days," the scientist said. "Will that be enough time to fix this mess?" "I honestly don't know, Sonic. Right now, we need to find out how much of the planet's population this affected." The ship kept zooming through the sky into the distance, eventually disappearing beyond the horizon.

[supersonic4ever]

BUMP

[supersonic4ever]

BUMP!!! I do NOT want this to die...

[Asriel Dreemurr]

OOC: It will live, sorry guys I haven't been able to get on lately.

IC:
The simple act of asking Amy if Horus would do something like that normally was ALMOST enough to set her off. She spun around about as quickly as she possibly could to face Sonic and Eggman at the same time and, in all honesty, probably looked somewhat demonic from the rage she was in at that moment. She didn't really "say" anything, more like shouted at the top of her lungs.

"OF COURSE HORUS WOULDN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT NORMALLY! HE'S A GOOD MAN WHO ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF EVERYONE NEAR HIM AND I'D GUESS THAT THE ONLY REASON HE'S CHANGED WAS HE EXHAUSTED HIMSELF TOO MUCH TO RESIST THE CHANGE BY SENDING THE VILLAGERS TO SAFETY!"

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

If there's one thing Horus wasn't accustomed to, it was getting thrown around like a rag doll, which was exactly what Shadow had managed to do with his Chaos Blast. Horus had ended up on his back after being sent hurtling through quite a substantial amount of brush, and from there he forced himself to stand, realizing that his foe had been left behind. He smirked as he came to stand, looking quite the bit battered and bruised, before throwing out his arms and channeling the ambient chaos energies to produce several hundred spears of negative chaos energy. He let out a roar of anger as he threw his left hand forward, sending the spears hurtling straight for where Shadow had been when he unleashed Chaos Blast.

[i]Meanwhile...[/i]

Slaanesh was a bit taken aback by both Dante's continued politeness, and his unrestrained use of violence when it suited him, both things that she found attractive. Rather than simply answer yes or no, she grabbed him by the arm and, with surprising strength, pulled him over to the bar with her.

[supersonic4ever]

OOC: Finally, a REAL post!

IC: Sonic was taken aback by Amy's sudden outburst. "Whoa, Amy! No need to yell," he said. Eggman was surprised, too; he didn't say anything, however, to avoid another episode. "We're coming up on a city!" he said afterwards. He pulled a lever, and the ship started to slow down. Eventually, it reached a hover, and began its descent. Sonic saw a club outsie the window; he said, "Think there are any dark people in there?" "We're about to find out," Eggman said.
