Why Dark Enerjak was the perfect rival for Silver?

Warning: English is not my native language, so I apologize if my writing is strange.

3 - Who is "Dark Enerjak"?

Dark Enerjak is an alternate version of Knuckles in which he has been completely corrupted by the power of Enerjak's spirit. In the main Archie universe, Super Sonic was able to defeat Knuckles/Enerjak with the help of Locke (Knuckles' father), freeing Knuckles from the corruption, but Locke had to sacrifice himself in the process. However, in this alternate universe, Enerjak emerged victorious and devastated his world, leading the Dark Legion and draining the life force of all his enemies. In the end, Dark Enerjak only had his daughter, Lara-Su, and a weakened version of the Freedom Fighters to "play with".

2 - Meeting with Silver.

In the Archie universe before the reboot, Silver's future was still post-apocalyptic, and he was trained by Mammoth Mogul, a former villain who had fought Sonic. However, one day, a robotic version of Vector the Crocodile (also called "Prelate-V") appeared in Silver's universe and attacked him, but was defeated and had to flee back to his world. Silver ended up following Prelate-V and landed in the alternate universe of Dark Enerjak, which is how he met Lara-Su and the Freedom Fighters. But Dark Enerjak already had his eye on Silver and wanted to meet this "traveler" to fight him, steal his power, and have a worthy opponent.

1 - The clash between two forces.

Silver and Enerjak are two powerful characters in the Archie universe because they both possess a destructive capacity that most characters lack, and they prove it in this battle. Although Silver isn't very experienced with his powers yet, he has shown that he is quite capable of using them to destroy anything in his path, including islands. While Enerjak also has the ability to destroy islands and entire armies single-handedly, he has more experience with his powers and was therefore able to eliminate Super Sonic, Shadow, the Freedom Fighters, etc. However, when Enerjak used the life forces of several heroes to create Prelates and enrage Silver, Silver ended up using his powers to throw Enerjak into various obstacles and finished by throwing an island at the villain. Of course, this doesn't kill Enerjak, but after that, Silver realized that he can't let his hatred control him; instead, he used his powers to redirect Enerjak's energies against the villain, allowing Lara-Su to take advantage of this, and together they defeated Enerjak.

--------------------------------

Extra - Why is it perfect?

Image from Archie Sonic Universe #27.

I know I've been summarizing the events of the comic so far, but the reason the rivalry between the two is so great is because of the message the comic wanted to convey: Power Corrupts.

At the beginning of the arc, Mammoth Mogul and Edmund (an Echidna in Silver's future) warned Silver about using his powers in a radical and impulsive way, because he is still young and has much to learn about it. However, when Enerjak appeared, Silver began to succumb to his emotions, because Silver values ​​life and the hope of a better future for everyone, but Enerjak uses the Prelates to mock Silver and the heroes who died. When Silver threw the island at Enerjak, he lost control and realized what his mentors wanted to tell him, because power can turn you into a monster and Enerjak is a reflection of that. Yes, Enerjak is an irredeemable villain, but he was once a hero, and unfortunately, he let power take over him to the point of killing everyone he loved. That's the main reason I find the rivalry between the two perfect; they are both similar in certain ways and are powerful beings, but one is a reflection of what the other could have been.

--------------------------------

We've reached the end, my friends.

I hope you enjoyed it.

I'm sorry if the summary wasn't very well explained, because I tend to get a little lost while writing.

I recommend reading this arc if you're interested. Until next time!

🔥Enerjak🔥

Since I’ve been on a Sonic kick, I absolutely had to draw my favorite Sonic villain!

For those who don’t know, Enerjak is primarily depicted as a corrupted version of Knuckles - in this particular form, he spent 30 years destroying Mobius and plans to venture into other zones/dimensions to do the same…

This is still the most complicated piece I’ve drawn in a LONG time😵‍💫but it is the kind of thing that reminds me I do have talent, I just need more practice and to sharpen my eye. I referenced SO many panels for this and I think it paid off!

Shoutout to @the-little-red-wolf for lending me their artist’s eye when I needed it💛🖤love youuu

WOE, MY VERSION OF DARK MOBIUS HOOLIGANS BE UPON YE

Really demo and blockbuster are the same, it’s just Nack who really changes but has the same story in a way

[askteamhooligans]

Alright Demo, I have ... So many questions about your universe and you... But to simple down things I'll settle with asking three questions if you're comfortable with that.

First things first, what happened to your eye?

Second, when did you become so... chill and less insane unlike your younger self.

And lastly, what caused you and Scarlette to get together as a couple?

Demo: "i know most of you like your "bunnie's" being with an "Antoine" and i respect that, she can go with anyone really, its just scarlette and I are around the same age in this universe and she sees Cutlass (our Antoine) as a friend, so just think of her as a completely different rabbit if you wish. Hm, ya know i wonder if Blockbuster will join me too eventually."

Bean: "OTHER OLDER ME CAN I TAKE YOUR EYEPATCH" Demo: "NO"

Flaming Hoffmann vs Dark Enerjak

Fate can be so cruel

[julie-su]

05:23 AM, outside the Fortress Gates.

Julie-Su stood on her lonesome, dreads flowing in the wind; almost invisible in the light of dusk. In another lifetime, the slight whisper of the coming dawn would have illuminated her, reflecting off of her cybernetics - their absence was felt sorely. He had taken them; a fair tradeoff, a simple click of the fingers with such powers as his. No, it wasn’t the cybernetics that she missed… Everything else that they once had, everything that she once had; just as simply as he had left her bereft of her Legion scars, as if it were another click of his fingers - was gone. And each time, she, too, had agreed - it’s for the best, it’s an easy tradeoff, it’s what has to be done… She hadn’t been afraid to argue her case, but as time went on, she felt that voice get quieter and quieter. The realisation that they were no longer equals had come in the middle of the night. A lump, a bump, a strange swelling… Like a creeping sign, it grew, until it was impossible to deny - she was pregnant.

The thought of raising a puggle with this man who was so willing to resort to violence, it terrified her. Of course, she knew in her heart that he would never harm her, or their child; she could see it in his eyes that he was devoted to her. His love was unending; as was hers. As it was, however, it was impossible to acknowledge the growing resentment for the world that took over his heart and mind. She found herself unable to call him by his name - it was as if somebody else had taken over. She knew this man by one name, now… Enerjak.

And now, in the middle of the night, she found herself on the surface - one last chance, one last hope, one last place. She had nothing else left. Knuckles was the only one who had made her feel like anything other than the Soldier she was brought up to be - now, without him… What else was left, other than to secure a future for herself, for her puggle?

She was aware that the largest settlement was a large fortress in the Acorn Kingdom; the Chaotix had invited her a long time ago. Espio had slipped into her room late one evening; one last-ditch effort.. She had wondered then what they were seeing, that they were insane as to not trust Knuckles. She had blamed them for tearing them all apart. Though, one thought in particular lingered in her mind now; she had kept this meeting a secret, as if she had already accepted it,  deep down…

She felt sick to her stomach. How could she face them now? For every part that felt deceived, there was another that hurt even more - it was that she knew that she was following his side willingly. She knew that she was selfish, that she acted in her own best interest. How could they ever forgive her? She didn’t even forgive herself. She stared at the great drawbridge, not making an effort either way as to enter, or abscond.

Inside of the fortress, pandemonium was brewing. The guards had long since alerted the solitary Queen as to the threat lingering outside. Enerjak was a growing threat, one that they had been preparing for heavily. And here, now, was his life partner, unannounced. Her presence alone had set the sleepy fortress town to their stations, ready for the worst. Except, the worst wasn’t coming - it had been over an hour since she had crossed the horizon; surely, if she had any nefarious motives, she would have shown any inclination of them by now. 

By the front gates, heavy debates as to who might be the one to investigate were taking place; all of their threats thus far had been simple. Smash it, deceive it, ignore it - never just… Talk to it.

It was hurting Queen Sally to even consider this girl as a threat; they once had a friendship, as unlikely as it seemed. It felt odd to her to consider those times as ‘simpler’ - but it did almost feel as such; one solitary threat, even if it had many writhing arms from all angles. Talking had to be the first step; she owed it to her to try. It only made it harder, that their strongest opposing force was vehemently against her doing just that. Sonic stood in front of her, arms crossed. “No way, no how, Sal. I ain’t letting you go out there on your own.” He shook his head, doing this dance with her - he wouldn’t let her pass. “And I’m not letting you try any kind of negotiating.” Sally squinted, rolling her neck. “Sonic… I can handle myself out there. We need to know what she wants… Somebody who can talk to her.”

“Oh, I’ve got some choice words for that girl, alright.” From the crowd emerged none other than Vector. Following behind was a hurried Espio and Charmy, holding him by the arms. Vector seemed oddly stoic and silent - a stark difference from his usual self.

Espio jerked him back, to little avail. “Vector, don’t. It’s not worth it.” He signalled to Mighty, who was now hurrying over with Ray in tow.

The crowds cleared around them, settling down; it was the least they could all do. Anybody not living under a rock was aware of their significance; her old team members. Once upon a time, they seemed unbreakable, inseparable… It was a dark sign when The Chaotix had turned up to the fortress, sans two echidnas.

Sally hated to admit it; they were her best option. She held the bridge of her nose, running it through her mind. “Open the gates.” She sounded dire as she gestured to the men standing guard, staring at the ragtag group in front of her. “Do not mess this up.” She knew, deep down, that she owed this confrontation to them, too. It was their right; she just hoped that it was the right call.

“Nice one, Sal.” Sonic winked; much too jovial for such a tragic situation. He turned to The Chaotix, folding his arms and rocking on the balls of his feet. “I’ll hang back, scope out for ole ‘Rad Red’... Just in case.”

“Thank you, Queen Sally, Sonic… But, are you sure?” Espio looked from them, to Mighty and Charmy, who were still fighting against the croc.

Vector shook his head, trying to power through. “She said what she said, good ‘nuff for me! Let. Me. At. Her.”

“Are we really doing this..?” Mighty looked helplessly at Sally, who simply nodded. He gulped, releasing his grip, all of them following in tow behind the unrelenting Vector as the drawbridge lowered itself. Chk-chk-chk-THOOM.

There, across the way, the two parties stood in standstill. Vector stoically put his head up, silent. Julie-Su stared directly at him, equally silent.

Waiting.

The rest of The Chaotix looked at each other nervously as Vector set off towards her; it was only a short distance, but it felt like it took decades. None of them knew what to expect, they only knew that whatever was about to happen, it had to come from Vector. None of them were sure they would have the right words, anyways…

“Julie-Su.” Vector spoke in a quiet, serious voice; one which certainly didn’t sound like it belonged to him. Julie-Su couldn’t parse his emotions at all, but she had a sense that she knew what was about to happen. She deserved it; for once, she’d have no qualms about his hatred towards her. She stared into his eyes, tired, waiting. She relayed his call; “Vector.” Her voice was exhausted and defeated in its tone.

They stared in silence; the whole world seemed to go quiet, watching with bated breath. Then, finally, just like that - it happened.

Vector lurched forwards, scooping the girl up into a hug, suddenly sobbing out - “WE MISSED YOU, GIRL! What were you thinkin’?! You’re coming back to join us, right?!” She gasped as he jolted her around, surprising herself with a laugh. She wasn’t sure how long it had been since she had done that. “AUGH! Vector! Get OFF of me, you big lug!” She pushed his great crocodilian muzzle away, wrestling against him. He put her down; she touched safe ground, biffing his nose gently. “Of course I’m coming back to join you, ya glorified handbag..” she paused, getting silent once more. “If you’ll even want me back.”

“‘Su, for the first time in my life, I’ve never wanted anything more.” He patted her on the back, much more soulfully than before.

What are your thoughts on dark!mobius? Like how do you think he would act?

While Mobius can be the nicest guy, he also has his dark side. I think we see a lot of his manipulative nature in the show as he tries to get information from Loki even, so he would want to play mind games. He would use your memories against you, playing the most painful ones over and over as he pushed all the guilt onto you. It doesn't matter that it was beyond your control, you let it happen, you made the decisions leading up to it.

But when he loses his patience, he can just hit the control on your collar and send a nice zap through you. You don't want to take orders, zap, you don't want to give him a pretty smile, zap, you don't want to be good for him, zap.

On top of that, he's uber possessive. He claims you're part of his "work" but everyone knows you're not really a variant, you were just another person in the sacred timeline but Mobius got distracted from his work and who can blame the perpetual paper pusher.
