Even though this was not canonical at all, I was actually flabbergasted by what had happened. Regardless of whether that creature WAS Metal Sonic or not, he definitely wouldn’t do that to Tails, at least not on-screen.

After that admittedly brutal scene, the character select returned the save file with Tails was different; the character was no longer in the box but in the TV screen itself, which was nowflickering with that red static. Tails' expression also changed, his eyes were black and bleeding, his orange fur had gone black and he had an expression of anguish on his face. Call me sadistic, but that got me curious to see what Knuckles and Robotnik would look like, so I picked Knuckles’s file next.

Tails' expression also changed, his eyes were black and bleeding, his orange fur had gone black and he looked understandably depressed. Call me sadistic, but that got me curious to see what Knuckles and Robotnik would look like, so I picked Knuckles’s file next.


The laugh came again and the screen cut to black again and stayed there for another handful of seconds. This time, the level said "YOU CAN'T RUN". This one had the same brainless level design from Hill Act 1, but it had the ground from Scrap Brain Zone and the sky looked like the main menu. In the bottom left, there was an X key with Knuckles’s hand, implying I could punch with him. Another highlight was, hands down, the music. It was one of Giygas’s many theme songs in Earthbound, A.K.A. one of my personal favorite scary songs. Progressing through the level, the screen started to flicker red static a couple time, after which several bloodstains appeared on the metallic ground. Slowly, but surely, what Kyle said about this game was starting to make more and more sense. Suddenly, evil Sonic appeared right in front of him and the red static appeared again showing nothing but black screen with text and creepy voice saying "FOuNd YOu" after vanishing. That raised a question: Why isn’t THIS level named “Hide and Seek” if it’s implied that Sonic was looking for me here?

Anyway, there was another red static and I was back in control of Knuckles, who now had a smirk on his face, and some high-pitched squealing from the Silent Hill 1's final boss was playing. Was this some kind of boss battle with the demon Sonic? Let’s fricken go! This faker is getting punted back to Hell yesterday!

Sonic was right in front Knuckles in what appeared to be black smoke. I made Knux turn and then punch Sonic, but he vanished to the right of the screen before I could even land a hit. This kept happening over and over and over and it went from exciting to annoying and boring faster than you can say “Sonic SPEED!”.

17 seconds of this back-and-forth nonsense later, give or take, another cut scene played: Sonic was on the tip of his toes with his arms crossed and Knuckles was kneeling and sobbing. Sonic said '''''“YOU WILL DIE AT MY HANDS!”''''' and lunged at the echidna warrior. The screen went black with the same distorted screeching noise from Hide and Seek. During that scene, I was saying stuff to my computer like “Knux, what are you doing? Get up, bro! This.. Metal Sonic thingy is still not down! C’mon, man-“ but then he was killed and I was ultimately disappointed.

One glass of water later, I selected Robotnik next. I still thought that was wacky playing as him... then again, that’s the least of my problems at this point, ain’t it?

The level title appeared again and this time it said "...". I was in some kind of hallway, didn't really look like it was from any classic Sonic game, though it has the 16-bit style; the floor was shiny and checkered, the walls were a dark greyish purple with animated candlelight's and a few bloodstains here and there. The music was oddly pleasant, a piano playing a rather sad yet peaceful song, but It somehow hit me, this was the song that played in Hill act 1, only it wasn't in reverse.

The doctor looked a bit less nervous then Tails, but he did have a sweat drop in his forehead. When moving, he did his usual running animation (You know, when you've beaten him at the end of a classic Sonic game and you chase him) as we continued going through the hallway. Then I stop at a long flight of stairs leading downward. As the doc went down the stairs, the walls have gotten more reddish and the red torches were now blue. Then we landed onto another hallway, this one was longer than the last one (or at least it felt like it) and then we headed down another flight of stairs down, this one was much longer, took at least 1 full minute, I think.

And then I heard that Kefka laugh again. I was so concentrated in traversing the stairs that the laugh actually managed to scare me for once, heh. The music also stopped abruptly andthe walls turned more dark red and the torches were a black flame now. After a few steps, Sonic popped right in front of Dr. Robotnik, just like with Tails and Knuckles, and then YET ANOTHER red static. It lasted for about 15 seconds and then it showed me an image: a really realistic pic of demon Sonic staring right at the screen. Not gonna lie, he looked SICK AS HELL (pun not entirely intended): he had the black/red eyes I’ve gotten used to (except with a little less blood under them), but he also had a wide grin was wide and some fangs, much like the Werehog's teeth except more vicious-looking. In hindsight, I should have downloaded and played this on my phone, this way I could have take a screenshot of that picture and made it my wallpaper.

After a few steps, Sonic popped right in front of Dr. Robotnik, just like with Tails and Knuckles, and then YET ANOTHER red static. It lasted for about.. 15 or so seconds and then it showed me an unexpected image: a really realistic pic of demon Sonic staring right at the screen. Not gonna lie, he looked SICK AS HELL (pun not entirely intended): he had the black/red eyes I’ve gotten used to (except with a little less blood under them), a wide grin with some fangs, much like the Werehog's teeth except more vicious-looking, and last but not least, his fur was really on point. Too bad I could barely see blue in the fur, but still. Whoever drew that should start a career as a hyper realistic artist.

Then the screen flickered with red static again thrice, and on the 3rd time I heard Kefka laugh, except this time it sounded distorted and.. loud and causing me to remove my headphone again! Cut it out, game! You're not scaring me, you're just hurting my ears!

Line 59: Line 61:
Ok, now I mean it: What on Earth could that possibly mean?? Like I get it, Tails and Knuckles are powerful and Dr. Eggman is a genius, so killing them isn't an easy feat. But, does it REALLY take "being God" to do so? Well, anyways, more red static showed up on my screen. However, this one in particular was so loud I could hear it from my headphones, even though they weren't in my ears. What's with this game and obnoxious loudness?

Then it stopped and showed nothing but black screen. As I sat there staring at it, one last dubbed text came up, which said "Ready for Round 2, Tom?" However, the demon voice stopped after the word "2". Another image popped up, this time it looked like an angel halo with wings, demon Sonic grinning and Tails fleeing scared. it had a text that said "GAME OVER" and the same crappy fire effect from the Hide and Seek level. Also, the US version of Sonic CD's game over theme played, just to add some more to the creepy factor.

However, the demon voice stopped after the word "2". Another image popped up, this time it looked like a more detailed red sky, an angel halo with wings, demon Sonic grinning and Tails fleeing and crying in fear. It had a text that said "GAME OVER", the same crappy fire effect from the Hide and Seek level and the US version of Sonic CD's game over theme played in reverse, just to add some more to the creepy factor.


To finish it off, there was a Japanese text that read:"There is a way to free yourself. A spell to get our soul again. But we have to speak it, but when we speak there is no sound. We are all hearing impaired. Therefore, failure is inevitable. And I ever regret getting into my inner bet.<br>

The devil and immortality in me vs. soul snatching<br>Jake Shanley vs. Gary Look<br>Ambition is overrated". (Of course I used Google Translate)
