Eclipse Heritage Post
Brother, I sense an additional mind... Have you been mutated again?
No.
As a matter of fact...I'm not Black Arms at all right now.
...
But Finite seems to have acquired my Black Arms abilities.
The jackal? Bizarre.
To have our DNA messed with so liberally... That doesn't seem right.
The anons seem to relish messing with me, DNA or otherwise. At some point you just have to get used to it.
Seems very... Unpleasant.
I hope this world will be rid of them soon.

I guess that's that.
I am... No longer needed.
[And like tempting destiny, someone takes interest on Shadow, someone Shadow has not really met but who's been watching, someone Shadow has heard from, by Flower's tales]
Well, what do we have here, if it isn't the ultimate life-form, at its most... Ultimate.
[A four tailed mobian fox wearing a red suit with black stripes and accents, wearing dark gloves and shoes with cyan highlights, the gloves specifically look like Silver's gloves, except black]
*Hiss...*
G̵o̶ ̶A̴W̷A̷Y̶
Greetings, though, I believe such are not manners to talk to a guest, you're not the worst host I encountered, however, so don't fret.
How are you feeling, today Shadow?
*Shadow snarls and his back spikes raise up to make him look even puffier than normal*
H̸o̸w̴ ̵d̴o̸ ̸y̶o̸u̴ ̷T̴H̷I̸N̵K̶?̶
let me see... I guess... Confused over why you're still like this, scared of yourself, angry at my sudden interruption, stressed because of your senses, did I get any of these right?
[The fox approaches Shadow, with a calm smile, something about them smells... familiar, can you, through these overwhelming feelings, even remember what Flower once told you?]
*Shadow’s lack of response is all the answer the fox will get; his ears pin back and his tail lashes from side to side as he approaches, but Shadow doesn’t retreat, just bares his teeth in a ‘stay away’ signal. He can almost find his memories--but even usual things feel fuzzy right now, and distant conversations are blurry and painful. He does know he Doesn’t Like Him.*
Hm, quite aggressive today, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm not a threat, unless you attack, of course!
This is the best time for me to reach out to you, you know?...
I'm looking for something you have, the thing that makes the Ultimate Life-form... Well, "Ultimate".
[the fox takes a few more steps, practically in front of Shadow now, he is still smiling]
*a low growl has started up in Shadow’s chest, and he can’t keep himself from snarling, serrated teeth sharp and glinting in the dim light*
I̸ ̶d̷o̴n̴'̶t̷ ̴w̶a̵n̵t̶ ̴y̸o̸u̷ ̵h̶e̴r̸e̴.̵ ̴L̶e̵a̷v̷e̴.̸
I'm afraid I cannot do that... especially when you're in this state... It's for the best of the world, Don't you care about the fate of everyone?
I just need... a sample from you, then I'll go, I'm really not a threat, I'm a friend, Shadow
[but his voice doesn't sound friendly, even so... he did mention something about the fate of everyone]
[Eclipse slinks out of the darkness... Seemingly from nowhere. He sensed distress coming from Shadow's part of the hive industry and came to see him.
He wasn't pleased upon seeing an intruder, but kept his composure.]
You are trespassing on our grounds. Must I direct you away?
Oh, hello there, judging by your appearance, and his, you must be an acquaintance of Shadow, a Black Arms...
However, for one, you look... faulty, less like a warrior, more like a mobian, is that what you're supposed to be? a faulty specimen?
[The smile of the fox has not changed]
I'm afraid I cannot leave, not yet, I have issues to attend with Shadow, I could explain to you, but honestly? you wouldn't understand, I doubt your equivalent of a brain would comprehend.
[Eclipse just chuckles.]
So you're THAT type of mobian. Pah, you have even less wits than that isolated echidna.
I REALLY do suggest that you turn back... Unless you wish to leave yourself a squirming mass of flesh for us to feast and grow on.
[Clearly, Eclipse is not intimidated by this fox's insults.]
[The fox doesn't change expression, however the cyan highlights in his clothes now shine orange, he just smiles at Eclipse]
Im far from the average mobian, perhaps you don't know this planet's biology, but foxes aren't known for having more than one tail.
I suggest you make your next move carefully, you may bite more than you can chew, ironically, considering what your species were, just a bunch of space scavengers.
[He continues to approach Shadow while they're both distracted]
But he? Shadow is different, mobians have an innate ability to harness chaos energy, but mixed with the black arms superior chaos abilities? It gives Shadow that... Ultimate I need.
Ignorance is all you are. You know nothing of us.
If Shadow doesn't want to comply with your wants you are the one who should make your next move carefully.
I may not know exactly what you are... But nor do you know what I am. You're completely clueless about my creation.
[Eclipse smiles sinisterly]
And if you don't back off from Shadow... It'll be the last mistake you ever make.
*All the time they’ve been talking, Shadow has kept up a low background growl, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the fox’s form. He’s Too Close, and Shadow snaps at him, not designed to actually hit skin but as a Final Warning to NOT COME CLOSER*
I may not know so much about the Black Arms, let alone the inferior Dark Arms. =)
[his orange highlights turn red]
But it won't stop me from stopping either of you if you get in my way.
[he turns again to Shadow, his tails swinging back and forth between him and Eclipse]
Now, Shadow. Don't you want to save everyone? If you don't help me, all your friends will die, and perish, it won't be your fault, no, but you could've helped prevent it =)
That does it. I tried to warn you.
I granted you a privilege that none before were granted and you abused it. You are even less than what you claim I am.
[Eclipse crosses his forearms in front of his face and he glows with a powerful energy... Barely a second passes before he's a hulking, spikier version of himself... The size of this form might surprise Shadow, as it was much larger than when he'd previously seen it.
Towering over the fox, he snarls viciously before swiping a massive claw at impressive speeds.]
[Jules barely manages to dodge, he wasn't prepared for a confrontation, and Eclipse was fairly fast. Five mechanical arms extend from behind Jules]
You will regret laying your unworthy claws over my body.
[he uses one of the metal arms to throw Shadow against a wall, while he gets into a fighting stance, smiling]
Perhaps your feeble backwater brain cannot understand this, but I need Shadow for things more important than you or me.
Either you can let me work, or you can fight me, and see the entire universe succumb to the metallic infection that soon approaches.
[Without an answer, Eclipse spins around with force, smacking Jules with a powerful, stiff, spiked tail.
Only then did he speak with a snarling voice.]
Your fate was sealed the moment you stayed here. Shadow gave you your answer.
[he is still grinning as he dusts himself off]
You leave me no other option.
[Jules extends his arm towards Eclipse, his eyes glow deeply blue and some small flames of blue fire began to spin around the fox's hand, a chaos power]
You beast will do as I say.
[Eclipse stares at the flames, then at Jules himself. He can clearly tell he's doing... Something. But he didn't feel any different.
After a while, he snarled out.]
What do you think you're doing?
It seems mental chaos powers don't affect your kind...
I didn't account for this posibility.
[And so he throws all the other metallic arms at Shadow, pressing him further against the wall]
Either you take your leave now, or your little "brother" here perishes, I would consider your next move even more carefully.
You wouldn't want to lose one of the few remaining creatures with black arms blood running through their veins, would you?
Heh... You were just so desperate to bring him in alive... You want me to believe you'd suddenly change your tune?
I'm not an idiot... And besides...
[Faster than one would expect for a creature the size of Eclipse right now, he grabs a hold of the metallic arms holding down Shadow, tears part of them off to free him, then swings the arms around like a lasso, with Jules still attached.
He then throws him straight to the thorns of the Red Fruit plants, then pounces on him full force.]
You don't have a leg to stand on.
[Despite how painful that looked... Jules kept grinning, he began to laugh too]
I like your energy. I am so excited to see how your body will react to the metal virus apocalypse that fast approaches. =)
So, what's your plan now that you have me pinned down? You may find I am hard to kill. Im far more resistant than mobians =)
I am far stronger than any mobian you know.
[Eclipse opens his maw, full of two rows of incredibly sharp, somewhat crooked teeth, then sinks into Jules's chest and rips at his flesh, tearing him apart with relative ease.]
[Jules twitches for a while, his pupils contracting and his smile fading away into fear]
N-N nOT AGAIN.
[He begins to cough up blood and then after just a minute he stops moving at all. He's dead.]
[Eclipse ceases his assault after a while and bites an extra chunk out of the fox's chest.
He then grabs him by the tails and throws him far, far away.
Afterwards, he goes to check on Shadow.]
Brother... Are you well?
*Honestly...Shadow was in shock and then in awe and is now kind of stuck between the two. But when Eclipse addresses him, he shakes a bit of it off and is able to at least respond.*
I̶.̸.̸.̶ ̷Y̶e̶s̴.̵ ̶T̴h̴a̷n̷k̴ ̴y̸o̸u̸.̵
*And he really means that last bit*
Of course.
[Eclipse reverts back to his normal, smaller form. He then looks toward the red fruit crops and sees some squished fruits that were the result of him throwing jules toward the thorns.]
I suppose I'd better gather the seeds... Perhaps we should find a better place for you to wait this out, Shadow. If that's possible.
*Shadow just nods at first, his tail twitching slightly with agitation as he watches Eclipse gather the seeds*
I̵ ̶s̶u̸p̶p̵o̸s̸e̸.̴.̵.̶ ̵I̷ ̴d̴o̷n̵'̵t̵ ̸k̴n̵o̸w̶ ̶w̸h̵e̷r̷e̵ ̵t̸h̴a̵t̶ ̵w̷o̶u̶l̴d̴ ̶b̴e̴,̸ ̸t̶h̶o̶u̵g̵h̸.̸ ̴ ̴H̸o̶p̸e̶f̸u̴l̴l̸y̵ ̸i̴t̵ ̷w̷i̵l̸l̸ ̸b̸e̴ ̶d̵o̷n̷e̴ ̴b̵y̶ ̵t̴o̸m̴o̴r̵r̵o̸w̴.̶.̷.̶
Very well. If it's not cleared up by then I'll see what I can do to find an area that's a bit less... Open.
[and there is a laugh from which the fox's body is, it begins to twitch around and spring back to life, bones and tendons twist and break, cracking as Jules stands up, blue fire covering the wound that killed him]
[and he begins to walk towards where Eclipse and Shadow are, his body seemingly collapsing and twisting inside as he does, only stopping after the fire begins to spread from his wound]
[the blue fire engulfs him, and the silhouette of the fox roars, as he grows a fifth tail, he then continues to walk towards the duo, more noticeable because of being covered in fire, and when he's just within hearing range he stops]
I told you I don't go down easy =)
[the flames go away, leaving only a few embers floating at the tips of the fox's five tails, his fur is slightly darker, with a few slightly redder fur marks around the eyes and over the muzzle]
Now, now, you two have made a grave mistake, but let's not make a mess out of this, after all, Shadow, I'm not an enemy, Im your friend! I'm Sonic's friend!
Miles Prower! "Tails"! =)
[Eclipse is surprised and drops the seeds. He backs up into a defensive position. He has no idea who Tails is.]
Shadow... I do not think a "friend" would be forcefully trying to grab you by force in this manner.
*Shadow Does Not Like This At All*
H̴e̸'̵s̷ ̵n̵o̶t̶ ̸a̵ ̵f̷r̸i̶e̸n̴d̵ ̵a̷n̷d̷ ̶h̵e̷'̵s̷ ̷N̶O̸T̴ ̵T̸a̸i̴l̸s̷
*He joins Eclipse: they’re...fighting side by side? For once.*
A̴n̷d̴ ̸I̴ ̶w̴a̵n̸t̸ ̴h̵i̸m̴ ̸t̶o̴ ̵L̸E̵A̵V̷E̸
I thought so.
[Eclipse bares his claws and fangs.]
Let's see what you can do in this form, brother.
But I am Tails... From the future, granted, but It's me Shadow, don't you recognize my blue eyes? I mean no harm =)
[his voice is so... jolly and relaxed, it goes against the tension in the soon-to-be battlefield, especially since it doesn't match his strange body language.]
[Jules snaps his fingers and suddenly they're surrounded by what appears to be different Sonics, how did they get there so fast-- No that's not the question to ask]
I̵ ̶d̷o̸n̷'̷t̵ ̸b̶e̶l̷i̴e̶v̴e̵ ̵y̴o̸u̵
*Shadow snarls...and his ears flatten even more as the Sonics surround them. It feels...weirdly familiar. To be fighting a circle of evil hedgehog clones summoned by an undying master...the memory is floating there, weirdly accessible because of the situation, but not quite clear*
W̵H̴A̶T̴ ̸D̵I̴D̵ ̶Y̴O̴U̸ ̶D̵O̷
seize them.
[the different "Sonic"s run towards Eclipse, while only three run towards Shadow, they look slightly like Devin, Fleetway, and Flower, but not quite, not them]
[these Sonics try to jump towards Shadow and immobilize him]
Hrrgh!
[Eclipse is unable to summon his larger form again, he needs to recover. If he could only manage to shove a fruit into his mouth...]
Shadow! You need to fight back!
[And like tempting destiny, someone takes interest on Shadow, someone Shadow has not really met but who's been watching, someone Shadow has heard from, by Flower's tales]
Well, what do we have here, if it isn't the ultimate life-form, at its most... Ultimate.

However, for one, you look... faulty, less like a warrior, more like a mobian, is that what you're supposed to be? a faulty specimen?
[The smile of the fox has not changed]
I'm afraid I cannot leave, not yet, I have issues to attend with Shadow, I could explain to you, but honestly? you wouldn't understand, I doubt your equivalent of a brain would comprehend.
[Eclipse just chuckles.]
So you're THAT type of mobian. Pah, you have even less wits than that isolated echidna.
I REALLY do suggest that you turn back... Unless you wish to leave yourself a squirming mass of flesh for us to feast and grow on.
[Clearly, Eclipse is not intimidated by this fox's insults.]
[The fox doesn't change expression, however the cyan highlights in his clothes now shine orange, he just smiles at Eclipse]
Im far from the average mobian, perhaps you don't know this planet's biology, but foxes aren't known for having more than one tail.
I suggest you make your next move carefully, you may bite more than you can chew, ironically, considering what your species were, just a bunch of space scavengers.
[He continues to approach Shadow while they're both distracted]
But he? Shadow is different, mobians have an innate ability to harness chaos energy, but mixed with the black arms superior chaos abilities? It gives Shadow that... Ultimate I need.
Ignorance is all you are. You know nothing of us.
If Shadow doesn't want to comply with your wants you are the one who should make your next move carefully.
I may not know exactly what you are... But nor do you know what I am. You're completely clueless about my creation.
[Eclipse smiles sinisterly]
And if you don't back off from Shadow... It'll be the last mistake you ever make.
*All the time they’ve been talking, Shadow has kept up a low background growl, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the fox’s form. He’s Too Close, and Shadow snaps at him, not designed to actually hit skin but as a Final Warning to NOT COME CLOSER*
I may not know so much about the Black Arms, let alone the inferior Dark Arms. =)
[his orange highlights turn red]
But it won't stop me from stopping either of you if you get in my way.
[he turns again to Shadow, his tails swinging back and forth between him and Eclipse]
Now, Shadow. Don't you want to save everyone? If you don't help me, all your friends will die, and perish, it won't be your fault, no, but you could've helped prevent it =)
That does it. I tried to warn you.
I granted you a privilege that none before were granted and you abused it. You are even less than what you claim I am.
[Eclipse crosses his forearms in front of his face and he glows with a powerful energy... Barely a second passes before he's a hulking, spikier version of himself... The size of this form might surprise Shadow, as it was much larger than when he'd previously seen it.
Towering over the fox, he snarls viciously before swiping a massive claw at impressive speeds.]
[Jules barely manages to dodge, he wasn't prepared for a confrontation, and Eclipse was fairly fast. Five mechanical arms extend from behind Jules]
You will regret laying your unworthy claws over my body.
[he uses one of the metal arms to throw Shadow against a wall, while he gets into a fighting stance, smiling]
Perhaps your feeble backwater brain cannot understand this, but I need Shadow for things more important than you or me.
Either you can let me work, or you can fight me, and see the entire universe succumb to the metallic infection that soon approaches.
[Without an answer, Eclipse spins around with force, smacking Jules with a powerful, stiff, spiked tail.
Only then did he speak with a snarling voice.]
Your fate was sealed the moment you stayed here. Shadow gave you your answer.
[he is still grinning as he dusts himself off]
You leave me no other option.
[Jules extends his arm towards Eclipse, his eyes glow deeply blue and some small flames of blue fire began to spin around the fox's hand, a chaos power]
You beast will do as I say.
[Eclipse stares at the flames, then at Jules himself. He can clearly tell he's doing... Something. But he didn't feel any different.
After a while, he snarled out.]
What do you think you're doing?
It seems mental chaos powers don't affect your kind...
I didn't account for this posibility.
[And so he throws all the other metallic arms at Shadow, pressing him further against the wall]
Either you take your leave now, or your little "brother" here perishes, I would consider your next move even more carefully.
You wouldn't want to lose one of the few remaining creatures with black arms blood running through their veins, would you?
Heh... You were just so desperate to bring him in alive... You want me to believe you'd suddenly change your tune?
I'm not an idiot... And besides...
[Faster than one would expect for a creature the size of Eclipse right now, he grabs a hold of the metallic arms holding down Shadow, tears part of them off to free him, then swings the arms around like a lasso, with Jules still attached.
He then throws him straight to the thorns of the Red Fruit plants, then pounces on him full force.]
You don't have a leg to stand on.
[Despite how painful that looked... Jules kept grinning, he began to laugh too]
I like your energy. I am so excited to see how your body will react to the metal virus apocalypse that fast approaches. =)
So, what's your plan now that you have me pinned down? You may find I am hard to kill. Im far more resistant than mobians =)
I am far stronger than any mobian you know.
[Eclipse opens his maw, full of two rows of incredibly sharp, somewhat crooked teeth, then sinks into Jules's chest and rips at his flesh, tearing him apart with relative ease.]
[Jules twitches for a while, his pupils contracting and his smile fading away into fear]
N-N nOT AGAIN.
[He begins to cough up blood and then after just a minute he stops moving at all. He's dead.]
[Eclipse ceases his assault after a while and bites an extra chunk out of the fox's chest.
He then grabs him by the tails and throws him far, far away.
Afterwards, he goes to check on Shadow.]
Brother... Are you well?
*Honestly...Shadow was in shock and then in awe and is now kind of stuck between the two. But when Eclipse addresses him, he shakes a bit of it off and is able to at least respond.*
I̶.̸.̸.̶ ̷Y̶e̶s̴.̵ ̶T̴h̴a̷n̷k̴ ̴y̸o̸u̸.̵
*And he really means that last bit*
Of course.
[Eclipse reverts back to his normal, smaller form. He then looks toward the red fruit crops and sees some squished fruits that were the result of him throwing jules toward the thorns.]
I suppose I'd better gather the seeds... Perhaps we should find a better place for you to wait this out, Shadow. If that's possible.
*Shadow just nods at first, his tail twitching slightly with agitation as he watches Eclipse gather the seeds*
I̵ ̶s̶u̸p̶p̵o̸s̸e̸.̴.̵.̶ ̵I̷ ̴d̴o̷n̵'̵t̵ ̸k̴n̵o̸w̶ ̶w̸h̵e̷r̷e̵ ̵t̸h̴a̵t̶ ̵w̷o̶u̶l̴d̴ ̶b̴e̴,̸ ̸t̶h̶o̶u̵g̵h̸.̸ ̴ ̴H̸o̶p̸e̶f̸u̴l̴l̸y̵ ̸i̴t̵ ̷w̷i̵l̸l̸ ̸b̸e̴ ̶d̵o̷n̷e̴ ̴b̵y̶ ̵t̴o̸m̴o̴r̵r̵o̸w̴.̶.̷.̶
Very well. If it's not cleared up by then I'll see what I can do to find an area that's a bit less... Open.
[and there is a laugh from which the fox's body is, it begins to twitch around and spring back to life, bones and tendons twist and break, cracking as Jules stands up, blue fire covering the wound that killed him]
[and he begins to walk towards where Eclipse and Shadow are, his body seemingly collapsing and twisting inside as he does, only stopping after the fire begins to spread from his wound]
[the blue fire engulfs him, and the silhouette of the fox roars, as he grows a fifth tail, he then continues to walk towards the duo, more noticeable because of being covered in fire, and when he's just within hearing range he stops]
I told you I don't go down easy =)
[the flames go away, leaving only a few embers floating at the tips of the fox's five tails, his fur is slightly darker, with a few slightly redder fur marks around the eyes and over the muzzle]
Now, now, you two have made a grave mistake, but let's not make a mess out of this, after all, Shadow, I'm not an enemy, Im your friend! I'm Sonic's friend!
Miles Prower! "Tails"! =)
[Eclipse is surprised and drops the seeds. He backs up into a defensive position. He has no idea who Tails is.]
Shadow... I do not think a "friend" would be forcefully trying to grab you by force in this manner.
[And like tempting destiny, someone takes interest on Shadow, someone Shadow has not really met but who's been watching, someone Shadow has heard from, by Flower's tales]
Well, what do we have here, if it isn't the ultimate life-form, at its most... Ultimate.
[A four tailed mobian fox wearing a red suit with black stripes and accents, wearing dark gloves and shoes with cyan highlights, the gloves specifically look like Silver's gloves, except black]
*Hiss...*
G̵o̶ ̶A̴W̷A̷Y̶
Greetings, though, I believe such are not manners to talk to a guest, you're not the worst host I encountered, however, so don't fret.
How are you feeling, today Shadow?
*Shadow snarls and his back spikes raise up to make him look even puffier than normal*
H̸o̸w̴ ̵d̴o̸ ̸y̶o̸u̴ ̷T̴H̷I̸N̵K̶?̶
let me see... I guess... Confused over why you're still like this, scared of yourself, angry at my sudden interruption, stressed because of your senses, did I get any of these right?
[The fox approaches Shadow, with a calm smile, something about them smells... familiar, can you, through these overwhelming feelings, even remember what Flower once told you?]
*Shadow’s lack of response is all the answer the fox will get; his ears pin back and his tail lashes from side to side as he approaches, but Shadow doesn’t retreat, just bares his teeth in a ‘stay away’ signal. He can almost find his memories--but even usual things feel fuzzy right now, and distant conversations are blurry and painful. He does know he Doesn’t Like Him.*
Hm, quite aggressive today, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm not a threat, unless you attack, of course!
This is the best time for me to reach out to you, you know?...
I'm looking for something you have, the thing that makes the Ultimate Life-form... Well, "Ultimate".
[the fox takes a few more steps, practically in front of Shadow now, he is still smiling]
*a low growl has started up in Shadow’s chest, and he can’t keep himself from snarling, serrated teeth sharp and glinting in the dim light*
I̸ ̶d̷o̴n̴'̶t̷ ̴w̶a̵n̵t̶ ̴y̸o̸u̷ ̵h̶e̴r̸e̴.̵ ̴L̶e̵a̷v̷e̴.̸
I'm afraid I cannot do that... especially when you're in this state... It's for the best of the world, Don't you care about the fate of everyone?
I just need... a sample from you, then I'll go, I'm really not a threat, I'm a friend, Shadow
[but his voice doesn't sound friendly, even so... he did mention something about the fate of everyone]
[Eclipse slinks out of the darkness... Seemingly from nowhere. He sensed distress coming from Shadow's part of the hive industry and came to see him.
He wasn't pleased upon seeing an intruder, but kept his composure.]
You are trespassing on our grounds. Must I direct you away?

I'm afraid I cannot do that... especially when you're in this state... It's for the best of the world, Don't you care about the fate of everyone?
I just need... a sample from you, then I'll go, I'm really not a threat, I'm a friend, Shadow
[but his voice doesn't sound friendly, even so... he did mention something about the fate of everyone]
[Eclipse slinks out of the darkness... Seemingly from nowhere. He sensed distress coming from Shadow's part of the hive industry and came to see him.
He wasn't pleased upon seeing an intruder, but kept his composure.]
You are trespassing on our grounds. Must I direct you away?
Oh, hello there, judging by your appearance, and his, you must be an acquaintance of Shadow, a Black Arms...
However, for one, you look... faulty, less like a warrior, more like a mobian, is that what you're supposed to be? a faulty specimen?
[The smile of the fox has not changed]
I'm afraid I cannot leave, not yet, I have issues to attend with Shadow, I could explain to you, but honestly? you wouldn't understand, I doubt your equivalent of a brain would comprehend.
[Eclipse just chuckles.]
So you're THAT type of mobian. Pah, you have even less wits than that isolated echidna.
I REALLY do suggest that you turn back... Unless you wish to leave yourself a squirming mass of flesh for us to feast and grow on.
[Clearly, Eclipse is not intimidated by this fox's insults.]
[The fox doesn't change expression, however the cyan highlights in his clothes now shine orange, he just smiles at Eclipse]
Im far from the average mobian, perhaps you don't know this planet's biology, but foxes aren't known for having more than one tail.
I suggest you make your next move carefully, you may bite more than you can chew, ironically, considering what your species were, just a bunch of space scavengers.
[He continues to approach Shadow while they're both distracted]
But he? Shadow is different, mobians have an innate ability to harness chaos energy, but mixed with the black arms superior chaos abilities? It gives Shadow that... Ultimate I need.
Ignorance is all you are. You know nothing of us.
If Shadow doesn't want to comply with your wants you are the one who should make your next move carefully.
I may not know exactly what you are... But nor do you know what I am. You're completely clueless about my creation.
[Eclipse smiles sinisterly]
And if you don't back off from Shadow... It'll be the last mistake you ever make.
*All the time they’ve been talking, Shadow has kept up a low background growl, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the fox’s form. He’s Too Close, and Shadow snaps at him, not designed to actually hit skin but as a Final Warning to NOT COME CLOSER*
I may not know so much about the Black Arms, let alone the inferior Dark Arms. =)
[his orange highlights turn red]
But it won't stop me from stopping either of you if you get in my way.
[he turns again to Shadow, his tails swinging back and forth between him and Eclipse]
Now, Shadow. Don't you want to save everyone? If you don't help me, all your friends will die, and perish, it won't be your fault, no, but you could've helped prevent it =)
That does it. I tried to warn you.
I granted you a privilege that none before were granted and you abused it. You are even less than what you claim I am.
[Eclipse crosses his forearms in front of his face and he glows with a powerful energy... Barely a second passes before he's a hulking, spikier version of himself... The size of this form might surprise Shadow, as it was much larger than when he'd previously seen it.
Towering over the fox, he snarls viciously before swiping a massive claw at impressive speeds.]
[Jules barely manages to dodge, he wasn't prepared for a confrontation, and Eclipse was fairly fast. Five mechanical arms extend from behind Jules]
You will regret laying your unworthy claws over my body.
[he uses one of the metal arms to throw Shadow against a wall, while he gets into a fighting stance, smiling]
Perhaps your feeble backwater brain cannot understand this, but I need Shadow for things more important than you or me.
Either you can let me work, or you can fight me, and see the entire universe succumb to the metallic infection that soon approaches.
[Without an answer, Eclipse spins around with force, smacking Jules with a powerful, stiff, spiked tail.
Only then did he speak with a snarling voice.]
Your fate was sealed the moment you stayed here. Shadow gave you your answer.
[he is still grinning as he dusts himself off]
You leave me no other option.
[Jules extends his arm towards Eclipse, his eyes glow deeply blue and some small flames of blue fire began to spin around the fox's hand, a chaos power]
You beast will do as I say.
[Eclipse stares at the flames, then at Jules himself. He can clearly tell he's doing... Something. But he didn't feel any different.
After a while, he snarled out.]
What do you think you're doing?
It seems mental chaos powers don't affect your kind...
I didn't account for this posibility.
[And so he throws all the other metallic arms at Shadow, pressing him further against the wall]
Either you take your leave now, or your little "brother" here perishes, I would consider your next move even more carefully.
You wouldn't want to lose one of the few remaining creatures with black arms blood running through their veins, would you?
Heh... You were just so desperate to bring him in alive... You want me to believe you'd suddenly change your tune?
I'm not an idiot... And besides...
[Faster than one would expect for a creature the size of Eclipse right now, he grabs a hold of the metallic arms holding down Shadow, tears part of them off to free him, then swings the arms around like a lasso, with Jules still attached.
He then throws him straight to the thorns of the Red Fruit plants, then pounces on him full force.]
You don't have a leg to stand on.
[Despite how painful that looked... Jules kept grinning, he began to laugh too]
I like your energy. I am so excited to see how your body will react to the metal virus apocalypse that fast approaches. =)
So, what's your plan now that you have me pinned down? You may find I am hard to kill. Im far more resistant than mobians =)
I am far stronger than any mobian you know.
[Eclipse opens his maw, full of two rows of incredibly sharp, somewhat crooked teeth, then sinks into Jules's chest and rips at his flesh, tearing him apart with relative ease.]
[Jules twitches for a while, his pupils contracting and his smile fading away into fear]
N-N nOT AGAIN.
[He begins to cough up blood and then after just a minute he stops moving at all. He's dead.]
[Eclipse ceases his assault after a while and bites an extra chunk out of the fox's chest.
He then grabs him by the tails and throws him far, far away.
Afterwards, he goes to check on Shadow.]
Brother... Are you well?
[And like tempting destiny, someone takes interest on Shadow, someone Shadow has not really met but who's been watching, someone Shadow has heard from, by Flower's tales]
Well, what do we have here, if it isn't the ultimate life-form, at its most... Ultimate.

Greetings, though, I believe such are not manners to talk to a guest, you're not the worst host I encountered, however, so don't fret.
How are you feeling, today Shadow?

H̸o̸w̴ ̵d̴o̸ ̸y̶o̸u̴ ̷T̴H̷I̸N̵K̶?̶
let me see... I guess... Confused over why you're still like this, scared of yourself, angry at my sudden interruption, stressed because of your senses, did I get any of these right?
[The fox approaches Shadow, with a calm smile, something about them smells... familiar, can you, through these overwhelming feelings, even remember what Flower once told you?]
*Shadow’s lack of response is all the answer the fox will get; his ears pin back and his tail lashes from side to side as he approaches, but Shadow doesn’t retreat, just bares his teeth in a ‘stay away’ signal. He can almost find his memories--but even usual things feel fuzzy right now, and distant conversations are blurry and painful. He does know he Doesn’t Like Him.*
Hm, quite aggressive today, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm not a threat, unless you attack, of course!
This is the best time for me to reach out to you, you know?...
I'm looking for something you have, the thing that makes the Ultimate Life-form... Well, "Ultimate".

let me see... I guess... Confused over why you're still like this, scared of yourself, angry at my sudden interruption, stressed because of your senses, did I get any of these right?
[The fox approaches Shadow, with a calm smile, something about them smells... familiar, can you, through these overwhelming feelings, even remember what Flower once told you?]
*Shadow’s lack of response is all the answer the fox will get; his ears pin back and his tail lashes from side to side as he approaches, but Shadow doesn’t retreat, just bares his teeth in a ‘stay away’ signal. He can almost find his memories--but even usual things feel fuzzy right now, and distant conversations are blurry and painful. He does know he Doesn’t Like Him.*
Hm, quite aggressive today, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm not a threat, unless you attack, of course!
This is the best time for me to reach out to you, you know?...
I'm looking for something you have, the thing that makes the Ultimate Life-form... Well, "Ultimate".
[the fox takes a few more steps, practically in front of Shadow now, he is still smiling]
*a low growl has started up in Shadow’s chest, and he can’t keep himself from snarling, serrated teeth sharp and glinting in the dim light*
I̸ ̶d̷o̴n̴'̶t̷ ̴w̶a̵n̵t̶ ̴y̸o̸u̷ ̵h̶e̴r̸e̴.̵ ̴L̶e̵a̷v̷e̴.̸
I'm afraid I cannot do that... especially when you're in this state... It's for the best of the world, Don't you care about the fate of everyone?
I just need... a sample from you, then I'll go, I'm really not a threat, I'm a friend, Shadow
[but his voice doesn't sound friendly, even so... he did mention something about the fate of everyone]
[Eclipse slinks out of the darkness... Seemingly from nowhere. He sensed distress coming from Shadow's part of the hive industry and came to see him.
He wasn't pleased upon seeing an intruder, but kept his composure.]
You are trespassing on our grounds. Must I direct you away?
Oh, hello there, judging by your appearance, and his, you must be an acquaintance of Shadow, a Black Arms...
However, for one, you look... faulty, less like a warrior, more like a mobian, is that what you're supposed to be? a faulty specimen?
[The smile of the fox has not changed]
I'm afraid I cannot leave, not yet, I have issues to attend with Shadow, I could explain to you, but honestly? you wouldn't understand, I doubt your equivalent of a brain would comprehend.
[Eclipse just chuckles.]
So you're THAT type of mobian. Pah, you have even less wits than that isolated echidna.
I REALLY do suggest that you turn back... Unless you wish to leave yourself a squirming mass of flesh for us to feast and grow on.
[Clearly, Eclipse is not intimidated by this fox's insults.]
[The fox doesn't change expression, however the cyan highlights in his clothes now shine orange, he just smiles at Eclipse]
Im far from the average mobian, perhaps you don't know this planet's biology, but foxes aren't known for having more than one tail.
I suggest you make your next move carefully, you may bite more than you can chew, ironically, considering what your species were, just a bunch of space scavengers.
[He continues to approach Shadow while they're both distracted]
But he? Shadow is different, mobians have an innate ability to harness chaos energy, but mixed with the black arms superior chaos abilities? It gives Shadow that... Ultimate I need.
Ignorance is all you are. You know nothing of us.
If Shadow doesn't want to comply with your wants you are the one who should make your next move carefully.
I may not know exactly what you are... But nor do you know what I am. You're completely clueless about my creation.
[Eclipse smiles sinisterly]
And if you don't back off from Shadow... It'll be the last mistake you ever make.
*All the time they’ve been talking, Shadow has kept up a low background growl, keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the fox’s form. He’s Too Close, and Shadow snaps at him, not designed to actually hit skin but as a Final Warning to NOT COME CLOSER*
I may not know so much about the Black Arms, let alone the inferior Dark Arms. =)
[his orange highlights turn red]
But it won't stop me from stopping either of you if you get in my way.
[he turns again to Shadow, his tails swinging back and forth between him and Eclipse]
Now, Shadow. Don't you want to save everyone? If you don't help me, all your friends will die, and perish, it won't be your fault, no, but you could've helped prevent it =)
That does it. I tried to warn you.
I granted you a privilege that none before were granted and you abused it. You are even less than what you claim I am.
[Eclipse crosses his forearms in front of his face and he glows with a powerful energy... Barely a second passes before he's a hulking, spikier version of himself... The size of this form might surprise Shadow, as it was much larger than when he'd previously seen it.
Towering over the fox, he snarls viciously before swiping a massive claw at impressive speeds.]
[Jules barely manages to dodge, he wasn't prepared for a confrontation, and Eclipse was fairly fast. Five mechanical arms extend from behind Jules]
You will regret laying your unworthy claws over my body.
[he uses one of the metal arms to throw Shadow against a wall, while he gets into a fighting stance, smiling]
Perhaps your feeble backwater brain cannot understand this, but I need Shadow for things more important than you or me.
Either you can let me work, or you can fight me, and see the entire universe succumb to the metallic infection that soon approaches.
[Without an answer, Eclipse spins around with force, smacking Jules with a powerful, stiff, spiked tail.
Only then did he speak with a snarling voice.]
Your fate was sealed the moment you stayed here. Shadow gave you your answer.
[And like tempting destiny, someone takes interest on Shadow, someone Shadow has not really met but who's been watching, someone Shadow has heard from, by Flower's tales]
Well, what do we have here, if it isn't the ultimate life-form, at its most... Ultimate.
[A four tailed mobian fox wearing a red suit with black stripes and accents, wearing dark gloves and shoes with cyan highlights, the gloves specifically look like Silver's gloves, except black]
*Hiss...*

Greetings, though, I believe such are not manners to talk to a guest, you're not the worst host I encountered, however, so don't fret.
How are you feeling, today Shadow?
