Menace Sonic

"Danse Macabre", an AU that tells the tale of Sonic breaking an ancient artifact, thus leading to him being replaced by a psychopathic spiritual entity called "Menace" that took over his entire life, disfiguring him so others would believe him to be some sort of freakish monster. Macabre does everything he can to try and get back what he has lost, but sadly most of it remains in vein. Forever trapped in the very place he tore everything away from himself. a young and careless Sonic the Hedgehog happened upon a small trinket during his exploration through the zone, carelessly throwing it back causing the gem to shatter and releasing the angry trapped beast that resided inside.

For months on, this spirit stalked the hedgehog, believing it to be their saviour, they wanted to be just like him, to be like their new god. before forming into its own physical reinterpretation of the hedgehog. Calling itself "The Menace" it challenged the hedgehog, winning unfairly and thus giving Sonic the same punishment it once earned eons beforehand. Ripping and tearing at his flesh, breaking him bone by bone, until he was a mere shell of his former self.

Now with nothing left, Sonic remained pacing around as much as he could as he pulled on his restraints, the chains straining on his arms to unreasonable lengths. It is here he hears about the death of Tails to Menaces hands.

Tails had found out about what Menace had done to Sonic and confronted him on it, a grave mistake on his part. Now Menace knew that somehow Sonic was able to communicate with the fox, and he had to put a stop to it. Storming to the zone one night the two hedgehogs engaged in combat. Seemingly on the brink of complete loss, Sonic brought the one thing that had managed to stop the angry spirit in the past, The Chaos emeralds.

Now gaining the advantage, Sonic wiped the floor with his ghastly successor, taking back his title that was rightfully his. He had gotten payback for Tails, yet that portion of him was still missing. Thus using the same procedures the echidnas had done decades beforehand, he merged himself with his best friend. Becoming whole once more.

Now, Sonic was changed, and decided to make it his right to not allow anything like this to happen to anybody else. Ever. Macabre is a mutilated and gory iteration of the Blue Blur. He has no legs to speak of and only a long string of black fuzz fill their place. His torso is exposed and shows rib bones and viscera, His jaw remains shattered with only stretches of skin and fur to cover it, bloodshot eyes with slit pupils with a smear of blood over his left eye, and overly extended arms from which broken shackles bind his gloves.
