Mephiles scowled, sinking into the shadows, having been defeated by Shadow and Omega. He paused, not fully gone, as he heard Shadow asking Omega something, Mephiles' curiosity taking over.
"Omega. How is Ember doing?" Shadow asked, making Mephiles tilt his head a moment, 'Ember? Who or what is that?' He asked himself, and was rewarded by Omega's answer. "Mate: Ember. Status: Well." Omega replied in monotone.
"That's good. I hope she won't hold it against me for being gone so long. I'd be back home with her, if it weren't for GUN sending me all over the place." Shadow said, walking away with Omega.
'Hmm..A mate eh? If I kill her, Shadow will be helpless, a wound to his heart that no one could strike but there.' Mephiles thought, sinking down fully into the shadows. He reappeared in Eggman's base, looking at the database in silence.
"Surely Eggman would know something about this." Mephiles said, beginning his search with a small smirk. 'Oh yes. I will get you back Shadow. And I know what attack will strike deepest!' "Mwaha! Mwahahaha!"
)( A Few Hours Later )(
Mephiles silently stalked the one called 'Ember'. He silently watched her look around, peering at someone for a few moments, before shaking her head, and then peering at someone else.
'Hmm. This one's a bit odd..' He thought, watching her closely, waiting for a moment to strike. "Miss Ember! Miss Ember!" A young rabbit called out to her, making her turn and peer at the young female. "Cream, is that you?" Ember called out, hand reaching out for the rabbit.
"Yes, miss Ember! It's me!" Cream said, giggling softly, and then looking abashed. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make fun! Please forgive me!" Cream said, hugging onto the female hedgehog. Ember smiled, hugging the young female.
"It's alright Cream. I'd laugh too. Me, the Supreme Lifeform..recovering from a ridiculus wound, blindness, and can barely see teen feet infront of me. Hell, what I CAN see isn't even in color. But they told me that in time it'll heal, and i'll be just as good." Ember said, chuckling softly.
'Half blind huh? And what she DOES see has no color..This gives me an idea..' Mephiles thought, smirking. 'You shouldn't kill her.' a voice said in his head, making him scowl. 'I can if I want to, Iblis.' He replied back, almost growling.
'Do you not feel the Chaos energies around her? I bet even if she WERE fully blind, she would not be so easy to kill. Why not get your revenge..in a differant way?' Iblis said, tempting Mephiles' mind with dark images.
'Just think. If, for some reason, we are..defeated..we could be born anew..through her. We would be more powerful. I know that you know how to control your body, how to use your powers. And all it would take, was a few hours at most..." Iblis said, trailing off and leaving Mephiles' thoughts to himself once more.
'Damn it! He's right. Why is he always right? Well, at least I get to have the fun..' He thought, silently trailing the two females as the rabbit lead Ember through the city, and to a train station.
Mephiles discreetly blended himself into the shadows, following them as they got off at a place called 'Mystic Ruins'. He moved from shadow to shadow as Cream lead Ember to her and Shadow's house, stopping just out the door.
"Here you go Miss Ember." Cream said, smiling, "Thank you Cream. I can manage from here." Ember said, patting the child on the head, before she litterally flew off. Ember sighed a moment, peering at a keypad, and then typing in a code, the door unlocking and opening for her.
Mephiles slipped into the house, in shadow form, before the door closed. "I suppose i'll go take a nap." Ember said to herself, hand reaching out for the rail to the stairs. Mephiles shifted upwards, moving through the ceiling, and materializing in what he assumed was the bedroom.
'This is too good!' Mephiles thought, concentrating a moment to give himself a mouth, half blind, and color blind she may be, but she'd surely notice that he had no mouth. He quickly kicked off his shoes and pulled off his gloves, and lay on the bed, making it look like he, as Shadow, had been waiting for her to get home, and had fallen asleep.
'I mustn't say anything either, she'd notice the change in voices..' He thought, frowning a moment. It was that exact moment that Ember entered the room, pausing and tilting her head, ear twitching as she heard someone just out of her line of limited sight.
"Shadow? Is that you?" She called out, taking a step forwards. She came closer, hearing breathing, but unsure on who it was; that is, untill she was able to make out a dark figure with lighter dark streaks on his hair and arms.
"Shadow!" Ember cried out, stumbling over to the bed, and very much pouncing on Mephiles, who hadn't been expecting it. "Shadow! When did you get back home?" Ember asked, straddling him, and wondering why he didn't answer her.
Mephiles gave her a small smile, hoping that was how Shadow would react to his own mate, and motioned to his neck. "Oh..You lost your voice?" Ember asked, confused a moment, then smiling when Mephiles nodded.
He looked at her, she had taken her time getting upstairs, it would seem, because she had shed the clothing she had on previously, unknowing that Ember hated wearing clothes, and only did so in public.
He smirked a moment, leaning up and placing a kiss upon Ember's lips with his newly created ones. She made a soft sound in her throat, hands sliding through his hair as her body pressed against his.
'Well, she certainly seems willing..' Iblis said in his mind, almost making Mephiles groan out. 'Go away, i'm using YOUR idea. So leave me be so I can actually DO it!' Mephiles snarled in his mind, grasping Ember tighter to him.
Mephiles paused a moment, before running his hands through her fur, making the red female whine softly at the feel. Now that he thought about it, he had no idea how to handle a female.
He felt the back of his mind stirring, as Iblis sent helpful hints over their link, making Mephiles growl slightly. He hadn't realized he had growled aloud, untill Ember growled back, her mouth moving away from his as she began to bite at his shoulder.
It was somewhat of a shame that he felt no attraction what-so-ever to the female, she'd probably make a nice pet to keep around. But, as Iblis had said earlier, he could control his body, make it do what he wanted, and thus, he made himself hard, as if the female's ministrations were 'turning him on' so to speak.
Following Iblis' advice, he grabbed Ember's hips, pulling her down upon him, almost forcibly, making her cry out, weither in pain or pleasure, he wasn't exactly sure, nor did he care in the slightest.
The next step was fairly easy, all he had to do was push in and out of her, it was so simple; and he would need the time to build up the power for the seeds he was to implant in her body, to await when Shadow would come back, well, if he came back, to help Mephiles and Iblis in their plan.
'Maybe I should let Shadow live, just so he could.' Mephiles thought darkly, pressing his face against her chest, to hide his smirk. He shifted their bodies, to where he was atop of Ember, almost savagely slaming himself into her repeatedly.
He didn't know if she enjoyed it or not and, here his thoughts paused, as she began to cry out his name, well, Shadow's anyways, from the actions. Ember had no idea what had gotten into Shadow, but she was loving it, her nails digging at his skin beneath his fur as she cried out his name in pleasure.
"Oh god, Shadow!" She cried out, trembling as she clutched onto him. He was usually gentle with her, especially since the events that involved Dark Doom; but occasionally he'd be a tad rough with her.
Nothing like he was right now. 'Maybe he realized I wasn't made of glass, and wouldn't break if he played too hard with me..' She thought briefly, before the pleasure erased any coherant thoughts she might've had after that.
Mephiles smirked against Ember's neck, he had finally built up the power he had been working on, and shifted it into the seeds that would merge with her eggs, he only needed two of them for it to work.
It was probably a shame that it would require some other male to fertilize them, as he hadn't the ability to do so himself. He paused as she tensed beneath him, crying out loudly and clutching tighter to him than before, nails probably would've drawn blood, if he was able to bleed.
He used the opportunity to implant the two seeds, pausing at the warm tingling, to him anyways, power of Iblis as he did so. Ember cried out once more, as she felt..whatever it was, go inside of her. It felt like normal, only, that it was kind of burning hot, all inside of her. The fire-like hotness was the last thing she remembered as she passed out.
Mephiles paused a moment more, looking down at the female, who was out cold, from the combined power of Iblis and himself. 'You could've warned me you were going to do that.' He thought darkly to Iblis, who only snickered in his mind. 'Then where would MY fun be?' he asked, retreating once more.
Mephiles scowled as he pulled out of the female, checking her over for a moment, to make sure she hadn't perished or something, and was somewhat pleased to find her still breathing. He leaned close to her lower stomach, placing a hand upon it as he sensed out his power.
It was doing as was planned, it had found two of her eggs, and merged with them, and then slowly began to hide it's power, untill the time would come for whatever grew out of them to be unleased. 'I hope you have fun when you get home, Shadow.' Mephiles thought with a smirk, standing up and retreiving his shoes and gloves.
Mephiles smirked once more, having a mouth was quite fun, maybe he'd keep it. "Mwaha. Mwahahaha!" He laughed as he sank down into the shadows, his body returning to normal as he made his way back to Solaria once more.
)( Three Days Later )(
Shadow sighed as he entered his house, shaking his head. What had Mephiles ment? "Hn. 'Just be glad I didn't kill her.' The hell was that supposed to mean?" He said aloud, before he found a form of red and black in his arms, clinging to him. "Shadow! You're back!" Ember said, smiling up at him happily, about what he had expected with him being gone so long.
He took her face in his hands, tilting it from side to side a moment, examining her eyes. "Your eyes are looking better Ember. Is there still pain?" He asked, making her frown a moment. "No. But my vision gets clearer each day. I see you got your voice back. That's good." She said, making him freeze a moment.
"What? What do you mean?" Shadow asked, looking at her with a confused look. "Well, you came back home the otherday. Didn't say a word. You motioned to your throat, and I assumed you had lost your voice..Was I wrong?" Ember asked, confused.
"Ember..Listen to me..What did he..Did I do when I was here?" He asked, almost demanding. "Well..Let's see.." She said, thinking..What HAD they done? She couldn't exactly remember, unfortunately for her, Mephiles had modified her memory before he had left, while he had been checking on the progress of his plan.
"I came home, you were here. I hugged you, you hugged me back. You kissed me, almost like you normally do..then..then.." She said, trailing off, trying to remember. "I don't remember anything else, except something hot..like fire..inside of me.." Ember said, looking confused.
Shadow growled, holding her close to him, Ember confused at his reaction to what he knew they had did. It was like he realized he was holding her too tight for his liking, and losened the hold, gently tugging her onto his lap as he sat on the couch.
"You don't have to treat me like glass, Shadow. I'm not going to break." Ember mumbled from his chest, face pressed against it. "I know, I just..don't want to accidentally hurt you." Shadow murmered in her ear, trying to fight down a rage that was slowly starting to build in him.
It was like some of the fog had lifted from her mind, and she blinked a moment. "But..last time..you weren't gentle at all. You were rough. Where did that go?" Ember asked, frowning up at him. Shadow froze at her words, then Mephiles' slamming like a hammer back into his mind.
Shadow took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he held her against him. He slowly exhaled, trying to calm the sudden rage that had been building, that had just exploded inside of him, at the realization of what Mephiles had done.
He debated telling her that it wasn't him, wondering how well she would take it, before deciding against it. It was probably better for her to be oblivious to the fact that she had been virtually raped by Mephiles, instead letting her beleave that he had just been 'rough' with her.
"I..was stressed..Ember. I'm sorry if I had taken it out on you.." Shadow said, holding her even tighter against him, making her squeak softly at the action. "It's ok Shadow. I'm always here when you need me." Ember said, biting gently at the soft white patch of fur on his chest.
Shadow groaned a moment, eyes closing as she teased him. She knew exactly what buttons to push to get him worked up. "Come, let's go upstairs.." He said, picking her up, though she wrapped her legs around his waist as he held her, turning and going up the stairs, unaware that his actions might come back to haunt him in the future.
)( End )(
Well, I was going to originally leave off after Mephiles left, but, I just felt like writing that little tidbit after it. And since it's 6:34 am for me, having had no sleep in over 24 hours, i'm going to leave Shadow and Ember's homecoming encounter up to your imaginations.
I would write it, but, sleep is finally demanding my attention. It's somewhat of a shame that the only times I get into a writing mood is when i'm either dead tired, or hyper/bored with nothing to do now-a-days.
Disclaimer: I own everything! All is mine!..Except copywrited characters. I do own Ember, and well, for this story, that's about it. Will be rated 'M'.
