This world was devistated before I was born.
A harsh bleak place where we lived in eternal darkness.
Life is a struggle and people live without hope
How did this happen?
No one will answer me directly.
But they always point to... SONIC 06 .... .EXE
Many years ago I wnet to a
yard sale in Soleanna. I wasn't looking anything in particular, just
browsing.
"How do I decide
what to get at this yard sale?" I thought in my head.
All of a sudden I heard a voice from a large pile of old
video games.
"By knowing the truth of course" It sounded like
the voice of Mephiles the Dark from my favorite game Sonic 06!
I searched through the old pile of games. All of them had their
proper labels except one.
This case was a blank maroon-fushcia case with the words "Sonic
06. EXE" written on the case on duct tape on the front of the case. The
voice continued.
"Just as a flower comes from a seed , or a chicken
comes from an egg... everything has an origin!"
"What must I do?" I asked the case with a blank
maroon-fushcia case with the words "Sonic 06. EXE" written on the
case on duct tape on the front of the case.
"You need to find the being originally responcible for
this catastrphe. With my help you can because I have the power to travel
through time! In order to change the past, you must eliminate the individual
who was awakened Ibilis."
(Seriously thats what he said. I read it. ITs in the
subtitles Check the game)
Who must I eliminate I asked clutching the blank
maroon-fuschia case in my now sweaty palms.
I then started to have a vision. It was my favorite
character, sonic from sonic 06! It looked like it did in that one cutscene
where he is standing in the fire with the black background on a chaos emerald.
"Are you saying I have to kill Sonic from sonic 06?"
I anunciated through my dry kips.
I had another vision. It was Mephiles. He was standing in a
field of hyper realistic blood. He did not speak. He only nodded a somber nod
as he cried he cried 666 tears of hedgehog blood.
All of a sudden I awoke. I knew I needed to buiy this game. I
brought it up to the yard salesman. As I showed the case a look of dread
appeared on the mans face.
"WHERE IN SONIC'S NAME DID YOU FIND THAT???” the man
screamed. “The game... spoke to me. I found it in the pile of all your old
video games.” I went to point to the pile... but it had vanished.
"You should that back on the shelf there boy! The boy
who traded that game into this yard sale had a blank look on his face when he
handed me that game. All he could say was 'Don't buy the blood gem'. That was
the last thing he said before a nearby fake ring bomb went off killing himn
instantly. That game is cursd"
"I don't believe in that kind of stuff" I answered.
"Now let me buy that game"
"NO!" the man screamed trying to take the game
from me. I don't normally steal things but I knew I had to play this game. I
tore the case from the mans pruny shriveled hands.
"MAYSONIC HAVE MERCY ON YOU" The man yelled as I
ran away. After a gained some distance, I looked to see if the man was chasing
me. However where the yard had been, there was nothing but game receipt
floating in the wind.
This shook me a bit but I needed to do this for Mephiles.
I returned home and opened the game case. Instead of a PS3
disk in the case, I found an old floppy disk with the words "Sonic 06 .
EXE" written on it. I didn't know how to play the disk, so I decided to
try it in different systems I had around the house.
I tried it on my PS3, Gamecube, n64, Gameboy Pocket, and my
Phillips CDI. However on the 6th console I tried, my Virtual Boy, the disk
seemed to fit. After blowing on the disk 6 times and reseting the system 6 times
the game flickered to life.
On the sixth reset, on the sixth blow, on the sixth console.
Thats strange I thought. Must be a coincidence.
As I peered into my virtual boy I found it strange that the
game was in full HD color with graphics more hyper realistic than I have ever
seen on any game on any console EVER. (That includes my favorite game Sonic 06)
The familiar sound of the title music "His World"
started to play and a wave of nostalgia crashed into every orifice of my body.
However something was wrong. The music was a bit slower and was playing in
reverse and the title would not appear.
I pressed the start button several times on the virtual boy
but the title would not appear. Instead it was stuck the scene with trees
blowing in the wind that is in the background of the title screen. I noticed
that for one split frame the eagle in the backgrounds head became the head of
Mephiles and it was carrying the disembodied head of Miles “Tails” Prower
clutched in its talons. I ignored this, thinking it must have been a glitch.
Puzzled I remembered a button combo that shadow was told at
the loading screen for White Acropolis in Sonic 06. I pressed the combo: “ A A…
A A A A A”. The title appeared on the screen. However the titel was upside down and covered
in Tails blood. It was so vivid and realistic I almost puked.
I regret doing what I did next. Before pressing the start button
I had hopes and dreams. Before pressing the start button I led a happy normal
life. Before pressing the start button I had people who loved me. I had a
reason to live. Now, all seems hopeless, all seems lost, I fear I may not be
able to go on. In fact I know that I cannot
go on. My existence is futile now. Life gives me no joy anymore. I know the
world would be better without me. I must end my sad, sorry life.
Anyway, the game started. The intro scene commenced as
usual. Nothing was out of the ordinary except instead of a torch being handed
to Elise… it was actually Tails disembodied head from the title screen. Elise
then had her vision. However the vision was a bit different. In the blazing indferno
I saw none other than my one true hero, Sonic the Hedgehog from sonic06. His
eyes glowed sanguine and his gloves were covered in the blood of Tails. He
stared straight into my eyes. I could feel him penetrating my very soul. I felt
the life being drained from me. The vision ended and my living hell began.
I started the game in Soleanna. I just jumped around to
familiarize myself with the controls. I accidentally glitched through a wall
which sent me to an area of the game I had never seen before. There were tons
of stop signs and other varicose signs warning me not to go on. I should have
listened.
The first few levels played just like my favorite game sonic
06 expect for one small detail. All the water in the game was replaced by tails
blood. Also all the ring boxes gave out 666 rings. Every time sonic performed a
spin dash he left a trail of abackingly realistic blood behind him. In order to
complete a level with an S rank, you needed to finish in 6 minutes and 66
seconds and having obtained 666 rings and killing 666 enemies and finding 666
silver medals and getting 666 bonus points from defeating enemies and getting a
final score of 666 for the level. But other than that it played pretty much
normal.
I played the game and got up to the silver boss fight.
During the cutscene where silver calls sonic the Ibilis trigger something
changed. Silver said “You are the Ibilis trigger Eldred (that’s my name)” I was
shocked. How did the game know my name! I knew I needed to defeat silver or
something abominable was going to happen. I proceeded with the fight, which was
very easy for me, until finally silver managed to catch me and throw me.
Instead of hitting the wall I glitched through the floor (this is normal for
sonic 06) and fell into a hidden area of the level. To get to this area I fell
for 6 minutes and 66 seconds and got an S rank.
I landed in a fiery area surrounded by blood and lava. There
were demons everywhere. I know this sounds hard to believe but I think this
place was hell. I ran through the area searching for a way out. I came upon a
demon who said “Hey” the way the shopkeep said in my favorite game sonic 06. I
decided to see his wares. He had three gems. He had the purple and blue gems
that I was familiar with. The third gem he had was… The Red Blood Gem. I
recalled what the yard salesman had said about the young boy that had traded
the game in had said. “Don’t buy the blood gem” Luckily the item that the
merchant had was the Red Blood Gem. When I went to buy the gem, I could not
find a price in the price box. It was just blank. So I pressed the A button.
The shopkeep said “hey” in his regular
voice but then proceeded to say in a demonic voice “that will be 666 SONIC
LIVES”. The demon then tore sonic apart. Each disgusting sound of each tear
echoed in my brain. The horrid screams of his little hedgehog life being taken
from him filled me with despair. His hollow staring eyes beckoned for me to end
his suffering. But all I could do was sit there helplessly and watch his
complete and utter disembowelment. I knew then and there that my hero breathed
his last breath. Mephiles deceived me.
With tears in my eyes I tried to remove the disk from the
virtual boy. The disk came out but the game played on. I could not stop Sonic’s
suffering. I looked at the disk and saw that the label on the disk was peeling.
I tore the label off to see what was underneath. The real floppy read “Sonic 0666
. EXE” in hyper realistic blood red letters. It was then I realized that
something was off…
I knew if I played until the end of the game Ellise could
revive sonic with true loves kiss. So I stayed up all night and day for the
next 2 months and completed Silver and Shadow’s stories. This allowed me to
unlock the final story.
I spent another 2 months night and day collecting the chaos
emeralds from this story. Finally I was ready for the cutscene before the boss.
Sonic would finally be revived. The cutscene initiated and I saw Elise kneel to
supply a kiss of red hot passion to sonics rotting corpse. However, before
Elise gave the kiss she removed the mask from her head. It wasn’t Elise at all…
IT WAS ME! I was princess Elise the whole time and I didn’t even know it. And I
wasn’t kissing sonic at all. I was sucking him out of existence. My suctiony
mouth slowly and gently comsumed sonic into my being. I had become whole. I was
ibilis trigger!
It was time for the final boss fight. Instead of Solaris
spawning I noticed a different shape in the distance. It was my younger twin
half step brother Jacob. He roared a mighty roar to show his bitterness toward
me for getting all of our parents attention.
“Don’t you see Eldrid(that’s still my name)? You broght this
all upon yourself! I will never forgive you for making our parents miss my bar mitzvah
to watch you compete in that little league MLG league of legends tournament.
That was the most important of my short life and you ruined it. My only choice
was to take my own life while playing your favorite game Sonic 06. Only then
could I posses the game making it Sonic 0666 .EXE!”
I was flooded was guilt. I could not stand to bear that I
caused my own younger twin half step brothers death. I knew I had to do
something. And by do something I mean brutally murder him… AGAIN!!!
The fight began. The uplifting orchestrated version of “His
World” kicked in providing the perfect backdrop for my brother’s complete savage
eviseration. I swiftly evaded my brothers first attack and snapped his neck. I
then ripped open his stomach and strangled him with his own entrails. I then
flew his fading body down to the lava which was now spewing out from all orifis
of the planet. I held his body in the lava so that he would be burned alive and
drown, the two worst deaths I can imagine. Once his body fell lifeless I
consumed his body too to become the ultimate life form. I was now Shadow the
hedgehog from my favorite game sonic 06. I then hunted down the conniving
Mephiles the Dark. I grabbed his throat with all my hedgehog might and
asphyxiated him until his last dying breath. He looked at me with his soulless eyes
and said “The scariest part of this whole experience is you the reader are
Eldrid.” I then realized I wasn’t me this whole time… YOU WERE ME! You were the
one that killed sonic. You were the one that killed your younger twin half step
brother Jacob. You were one who killed Mephiles the whole time. You are the
ultimate life form, you are the Ibilis trigger!
And the even scarier part is that you had amnesia and forgot
this ever happened! So the next time you find a blank maroon-fushcia case with
the words "Sonic 06. EXE" written on the case on duct tape on the
front of the case remember, don’t bother stealing it from the yard salesman…
because you have already beaten it with all S ranks. And you didn’t even know
it!
