Explodes you with my mind
(650~ words about exploding motherships and being in pain)
Nine's vision swam with heady energy as he turned towards the mothership that blotted out the Grim's skies. His methodical anger now blazed into animalistic rage at the sight of it in his path, smoking cannons still aimed at where Grim Big once stood.
He was getting tired of this.
An ugly, pained yowl involuntarily tore from his throat as his tails drew in the exhilarating power of the Paradox Prism. He knew eyes had been drawn towards him by the cry but he paid them no mind. Energy buzzed throughout his body, rattling his bones, frying his nerves, tails spasming and curling as they strained to diffuse the power up his spine-
They had shocked him.
His mind would go blank and tails slack as the one hundred and fifty thousand volts shorted out both his thoughts and myoelectric sensors embedded deep into his central nervous system.
A weapon of that caliber could disarm anyone.
Two would be aimed at his head at all times.
Shaky growls rumbled in his chest as he rose through the air, twin tails holding him steady despite it all.
The burnt fur smell that accompanied the shocks would snap him out of his momentary stupor and the pain gave him something to latch onto. Some 'geniuses' those doctors were. Trying to use the brain they were intent on frying.
Burning energy pooled in his abdomen and Nine winced, holding steel claws over what felt like his body burning a hole in itself. He convulsed and let out another strangled cry.
For a moment the power cooled. Sonic's words pierced the ringing in his ears but he couldn't understand any of them. Something nagged in the back of his mind. Nine greedily gulped in air as his dazed mind struggled to catch up with what was happening. The Grim was trying to tell him something. Feverishly glancing around, Nine stared at the flickering dome he worked so hard to upkeep. Between each flicker he could see the tears across the shatterverse. They would swallow the Grim whole.
The Council had used him.
Of course they had. Nine's technical prowess rivaled their own. But hehad let his guard down. Letting them get their hairless paws onto the Shatterdrive had been a terrible mistake. This was all their fault. Even when they were using him for their own gain, they wouldn't listen. He could've fixed all of this by now.
But Sonic had led them here.
Worked with them.
What a fool.
Fangs chattering against each other, Nine redirected all the energy back towards his tails. He curled in on himself as the painful yet comforting strength of the Prism drained from his limbs.
Nine had to rebuild the Grim and that was not going to happen with the Chaos Council in his way. Sonic would come to him eventually, he knew of it. But the Council was betting on that as well. Once Sonic is out of the picture everyone will fall apart and they'll snatch the Prism for themselves.
But Nine wasn't going to let that happen. While the pounding in his head waned, he reined in his frenzied rage. An unfocused blast could wipe out everyone, including himself, in one fell swoop. With icy restraint that clashed against the jittering tendons in his hands he narrowed the scope of the energy, eyes flitting up to stare down the Mothership. It would just be Mr. Dr. Eggman in there.
The one who started all of this.
His grasp on the energy slipped, explosive pain tore through his spine as the energy shot from his tails with a deafening boom. Nine watched with a mix of horror and amazement as the beam struck the Mothership. All of that had been inside of him? The explosion that followed sent a wave of giddiness.
That was all short lived as exhaustion crashed over him. He fell back onto the tower, trembling tails falling to his side even as white hot energy still gathered at the tips. Searing agony scrambled his head and his breathing turned into ragged growls.
This power was going to tear him apart.
