Zaphod looked down upon his captives, and relished on how
defenseless they were against him. Sonic, Shadow, Silver, Scorch, Death, Amy
and Blaze were all beaten, hurt, chained to the wall, and all silenced by duct
tape. The evil creature of darkness looked at each of them, before flat out
breaking into an evil demonic laugh.
“Did you know….when the Devil removed himself from Heaven
and Earth….he left behind seven deadly sins? Out of all these seven, my
favorite is now and always will be…the sin of pride.” He paused to look at the
triple S. “You see Sonic, Shadow, Silver….it was pride that lead to your
ultimate downfall. It was your pride that started all of this. It was your
pride that had to challenge me before you were ready….and it was your pride….that
allowed me to put you on my wall.” He paused.
“Do you remember how it all began? Do you remember your
journey from the top of the mountain…..to the pit of despair you’re in? Do you
really remember…the beginning?” Zaphod pulled up a folding chair, and sat
looking at the seven. “For years…I watched you three. I have been for the last
six years. This all started in Soleanna, and it started with my father
Mephiles.” He had to pause to gather his thoughts. “In those early days, all my
father attempted to do was mold the world to how he saw fit, but he was wise
enough to think maybe, just maybe, something would go wrong. Thus he created me,
before sealing me away in the cracks of time, where I would be protected by
anything that could happen, and something did happen. He….met….you three.”
Zaphod pointed at Sonic, Shadow and Silver.
“Then the story began. It was the story of three pathetic
hedgehogs that wouldn’t die.” Zaphod said. “Everything he did in the beginning,
you three overcame, and what should’ve been an easy conflict wasn’t. Instead of
destroying your legacy, he made it greater!” The demon roared. “….when you
three defeated him, it put a halt to everything, and then when you….” He poked
Sonic’s chest. “And that princess blew out the flames of disaster; you
completely erased my father from existence! Then….I knew it was his influence
on you…that drove you to erase him, and it was…..your most….magnificent moment. It was then I knew…..what
I had to do. That’s when my master plan was set in motion.” Zaphod calmly sat
back down.
“With every victory you three had…your collect of wrecked
lives grew…and so too did your weakness. So I watched….and I waited. It was
clear, that even in victory you three were losing your grip.” Zaphod paused to
laugh demonically again.
“Then the day came when you Sonic, had to face off with Dark
Gaia, and conquer your biggest demon to date. I witness your fall and change into a filthy Werehog,
and then rise back up to defeat it. It would’ve been the perfect time to
strike, but I was not yet ready. Then, when you had your little adventure in
space, with measly little aliens…the time...was not right, yet the plan
continued to evolve. You see, I know you three better than anyone…I witness you
defeat your enemies in battle, and I saw you conquer your inner demons! But
even then, I watched and waited for the perfect time. I knew how many times you
three went crashing down….you get back up. Your pride forced you…..to get back
up, but your pride would be your undoing.” Zaphod looked on the brink of
madness.
“Now you see, while you three were allowing yourselves to be
disgraced….by those beneath you….I was biting my time. My time was almost upon
us, when Eggman unleashed Time Eater upon the world. When you conquered him
Sonic….he was thought to be gone forever. Then he returned….and my time…had
finally arrived…the exact moment you showed Eggman…an instant of mercy.” Zaphod
got up and stood face to face with Sonic. “You had a choice! You could’ve destroyed
Eggman! Or you could become one with your weakness.” Zaphod backed up to look
at the three. “It was his decision that sealed your fates. It was at that
moment that the plan I started six years ago. I knew, when I scouted you three
face to face, when I saw how pathetic you were, I knew that it was over!!!”
Zaphod cackled.
“All the years of plotting, all the years of planning, and
all the years of watching…from the shadows, were finally at an end!” Zaphod
stood before them proud. “I……HAD……MY……VENGEANCE!!!!!” He roared in his demonic
voice. “A vengeance….that had alluded me….for so long.” Zaphod calmly took to
his chair.
“And now….the shadows that once hid me……are cast upon you.” Then
he leaped back up. “And what was once you beloved planet…..is now my….personal….playground.”
He turned away. “Sonic, Shadow, Silver…you used to call yourselves heroes!”
Then he chuckled. “But now….you are nothing more than the worms….I stepped on. For
six years….I dreamt of the day when you three would be no more. For six years….I
relished… the thought, of defeating you. For six years….I knew this day would
come. For six years I dedicated my life to making this moment…a reality.” Then
he began to shout. “THE MOMENT WHEN I WOULD SEE YOU THREE CAST DOWN WITH GRAVE VENGEANCE
AND ETERNAL ANGER!!” Then he smiled his demonic smile.
“And when I….would take
my place….as the darkness…favorite….demon.” Then he began laughing his demonic laugher,
showing no signs of stopping, as the seven souls in front of him were helpless
to stop him.
