Night 5

Eggman, tonight, was deep in the depths of his dank, dark laboratory. He appeared to be working on something… something very important. He seemed to be attaching mechanical parts to a conspicuously dragon-like figure.

As usual, the Black Knight stood guarding the mad doctor during his work. He waited, motionless, for any threat to pose itself.

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

Wolf O’ Donnell sat at the desk in his room, tinkering with his mercenary-standard Claw Blaster gun. Using the new technology he had found in this laboratory, he thought he might be able to increase its firepower. He was, however, no expert in mechanics or engineering. It appeared, at the very least, that he had fitted his gun with an extra electric charge that could stun an enemy briefly, in case he was caught off guard.


As it happened, he was ironically caught off guard when his door was kicked down with sheer force. Startled, he quickly picked up the Blaster and fired it. The silhouette in the doorway avoided the blast easily. There would be no easy escape for Wolf, it seemed.

The silhouette laughed at him.

“Is that-a the best you can-a do? That-a disguise was annoying me… but I guess I’ll have-a no trouble beating you without it!”

The dark figure leapt the six yards between the doorway and Wolf, kicking him directly in his snout. Wolf fell backwards in pain, growling.

“Maybe you should-a do a barrel roll next time!”

Wolf fired his gun again, from the floor, but his enemy avoided the shot Matrix-style. He then lunged upwards, thrusting with the sharp claw bayonet attached to it. The dark figure caught his wrist as he did so, and proceeded to fling Wolf backwards over his head.

Wolf smashed into the wall of his room. He struggled to get up as the dark figure approached again. This time, the enemy left him no chance, burying him in a flurry of punches. While Wolf was dazed from the blows, the figure seized him by his legs. He then began spinning, faster and faster, swinging Wolf by his feet. Finally, he uttered another phrase, in mockery of the mercenary:

“So long-a, Wolf!”

The shadowy figure let go. Wolf went flying into the opposite wall, snapping his neck and cracking his skull through the force of the impact. The assassin left the room, chuckling to himself.

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

As Eggman continued working, the Black Knight noticed a mysterious presence… two mysterious presences, in fact. He drew his blade, ready for an assault at any moment. The dread knight was not someone to be trifled with lightly…


From the left sprung Sephiroth, his long blade held over his head. The Knight was surprised at his enemy, but not startled. Masamune and Alondite, the two warriors’ swords, were held in a deadlock, neither blade capable of damaging the other.

Eggman, behind the Knight, was shocked and confused.

“Sephiroth! What do you think you’re doing? We are all allies, aren’t we?”

“Hmph… this one annoys me. He shall die.”

“Argh! So, you’re going to betray me now, too?”

“Betray you? I wasn’t taking orders from you, fool. I’m killing these weaklings because my enemies are among them, not because you tell me to. Did you honestly think I would take orders from anybody? I’m the most powerful villain here. Nobody can tell me what to do, fool!”

Throughout the whole conversation, the Black Knight remained silent. He was still held in a deadlock with Sephiroth, and neither side seemed to be winning.

That is, until the second presence the Black Knight had detected made itself known. The dark figure, seeing its chance, swept in from the right, wielding a blade of its own, and, cutting straight through his armor, cleaved the Black Knight in two.
The shadow kept moving, darting back into the shadows. Sephiroth, enraged, chased after it. The two vanished out of sight.

Dr. Eggman looked solemnly at the body of the Knight, which had been severed through the waist.

“If only… and I was just putting on the finishing touches, too…”

Then his face lightened up as his thoughts progressed.

“Ah, well. In a matter of minutes, I’ll have someone else to replace him!”

Eggman finished welding into place the last section of armor over the heart of the creature he was working on. Then, starting up a nearby generator, he sent an electric shock through the being’s body. Its burning red eyes sprang to life.

It quickly and easily broke free of the chains holding its limbs in place. It opened its mouth, letting out a roar that was three times as loud as it ever had been.

“SCRRRREEEEEEEEECHHROOOOOOAAAAARRRR!”
