God I need to know more about this sonic misfits AU!!!!!!
The AU is based off the concept of Enerjak, but instead it happens to Sonic!
He absorbs too much chaos energy and starts to go mad, but instead of having **just** Enerjak's power, he also finds himself to have hammer space too + develop a rubberhose body :D
He is taken down by Shadow, and many more of his friends and taken into custody, having put on a magical pillory that suppresses him, causing him to go unconscious while wearing it
(Knuckles had died, Tails has fled after seeing that Sonic was killing people. Rouge didn't bother to go near after witnessing what was going down, and Amy was exploring at the time.)
He is kept in captivity for a while, until one day Shadow comes to visit
The chaos energy flowing, and surrounding Shadow was enough to wake Sonic up with a kickstart. Using the energy he has, he grabbed and cracked/broke Shadow's inhibitor rings, where he then absorbed all of his chaos energy and was now able to move completely and fully.
Escaping (and mostly killing) every single officer to escape his prison, he was finally free with no one to stop him; Except for Shadow.
But Shadow didn't know everything Sonic was now capable of (nobody did). While Sonic's instinct now is to devour, and kill, his first action to stop Shadow from disrupting him was to brainwash him. He wanted Shadow to become an ally, but not exactly knowing how to fully use this power had put Shadow in a seemingly "braindead" state. After a while, he could move, see, and obey, but he couldn't talk, or form his own thoughts.
As time went on, with his new slave, he is yet approached again by reinforcements, and this time; Amy
Easily overpowering them, he could not get himself to kill Amy. He told her she will be allowed to live, only if she served him. And Amy immediately agreed. (But only because she plans on attempting to wake Shadow up, and surprise attacking Sonic.) She was now used for her tarot cards to be able to predict his future.
Sonic continued his rampage, because now with his twisted mind, all and Amy was always trying to subtly tap into his better nature, and Sonic; with a weak spot for both of them, had started listening without even knowing. Not that he stopped killing, he stopped destroying cities, countries, as Amy had convinced him there were better ways to satiate his extreme boredom.
He started to treat people like dolls, He would use them as his toys, this was a huge step down (which is very good for humanity). Around this time, Shadow now seemed to be showing more reactivity. He could now smile, even if it was little, and not very visible unless you look for long enough.
Amy and Shadow came to terms that this would be their life now. They understood that this isn't Sonic's doing, and is just a reaction from the chaos energy. Sonic could be changed, he could listen, and Amy and Shadow were the ones to do it. He would never be able to live normally ever again, they would just have to accept that fact.
They were basically Sonic's limitations. While Sonic thinks he has them on a leash, it's really both ways. (he could never bring himself to kill them, even if they betrayed him, and they seem to finally understand that) They will become the reason Sonic hopefully might stop his many years of inflicting chaos.
Thank u for asking!!! :DD This AU is still being fleshed and messed around with :0
