Warped Perspective AU:
Eclipse the Darkling is a weapon. A weapon to be used. Nothing more. And there’s nothing else he’d rather be. He’s sure of that…when did he become sure of that? Right. When Shadow became a problem again. Eclipse thought they could finally be brothers, it was what he wanted from the start. Now, though, he’s been shown the “truth” about why Shadow or anyone else accepted him in the first place. To use him. Manipulate him. And when the time came? Kill him. So how foolish of Eclipse, to think he should do anything other than he was made for! This time, he will kill Shadow, and avenge his kind, even if it takes the help of the only mortal he trusts to do it. When and why did he begin to trust him? Didn’t he hate Starline before…? Doesn’t matter anymore. Eclipse will do anything to fulfill his intended purpose. Anything.
Shadow, on the other hand, is being forced to come to terms with all the things he’d tried to push away for the longest time after Eclipse goes missing. The truce made between him and Eclipse (with the help of Sonic, annoyingly) was messy, but whether Shadow wanted to admit it or not, it led to a bond later down the line. It led to Shadow…caring about that little alien. Genuinely. Even nowadays he can feel conflicted about that part, given all that happened in the past, everything with the black arms…and if there’s something Shadow is NOT good at, it’s being open about anything. The roles are reversed after Eclipse’s rescue, with Shadow (in his own special Shadow way) attempting to bring back a bond that currently doesn’t exist, and Eclipse wanting nothing more than his “brother” to face his downfall. Even the dark arms aren’t too fond of Shadow right now. And though he feels Eclipse has every right to hate him, Shadow is determined to put Starline’s influence over this whole situation to an end. The question remains: how?
Two Motes of Golden Light:
In line with the original ending of Frontiers, Sonic failed to save Sage. Simple as that. He failed to save a child who had barely even gotten to live.
He's failed to save so many over the years. But this is the straw that breaks the hedgehog's back. He willingly plunges himself into a time loop of madness, desperate to correct his mistake while loosing a little bit more of himself with every attempt, repeating Ouranous Island over and over, knowing that he selfishly cost his friends their happy endings to ease his own guilt. And he does so with only Star for company, a digital copy of himself made by The End as a way to mock him, who is not afraid to speak the truth about the mistakes Sonic has made.
But things turn out alright, in the end, as this AU is a rewrite of Frontiers that merges the best parts of all endings, and gives everyone involved a chance to shine. So as Horizons ended… A happy ending is in sight.
its important to me that shadow the hedgehog is the world's FAKEST idgafer. he cared about maria he will care about rouge and omega and hell even sonic against his better judgement. he acts all tough but its really because hes sooo scared of getting attached and then losing someone again. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!!! (irreparably traumatized)
Sorry eclipse i thought it would give you a chance to tell us a cool story about something fun and death defying! Can I ask instead if you've done anything cool youre proud of?
