Chapter 1: An early bird and a corpse?!
''In an alternate dimension, we see Rush the Hedgehog is asleep in his home in Squiggleville, early in the morning. It seems peaceful until something unexpected happens...''

"Zzzzz......." Rush is currently fast asleep in his bed, not really aware what's going on...

What sounds like a howling wind comes from outside.

"What the--" Rush, suddenly alarmed, wakes up and yawns as he goes to the window to see what's going on outside.

For a brief glimpse, a few miles away, there is a red light in the distance.

"Better go see what's up." He said to himself as he went away from the window to take a shower, brush his teeth, put on deodorant and put on his clothes. He then headed outside towards the red light, wondering what's happening....

When Rush gets there, the sound of the howling has stopped a while ago, and there was someone small standing over a body of another person.

"Whaaaaa?" Rush says while he looked at the said figure standing over the body.

The figure didn't move. It seemed that Rush was too far away for it to hear him. It began walking towards the body, crouching at it. Nearby the creature was a gun.

Rush decided to get closer and go see exactly what was going on...

As he gets closer, he can get a good back view of this mysterious character. She wasn't small because she was far away. She was small because, well, she was small. Childlike even. She had red fur, and attached to her back were a dragon tail and dragon wings.

On closer inspection of the body, there was a pool of blood.

"Hey, um.....What's with the dead body?" Rush asked, kind of scared a little. He didn't expect to see that this morning. It's going to slightly disturb him for the rest of the day.

The little creature jumped in surprise, turning around to see Rush. "Oh crap, I forgot to go invisible," she mumbled out loud.

Rush tilted his head a little in confusion as he sat down. "Ebony, what're you doing here? And what's with the...body?"

"Hi again, Rush..." she turned back towards the body. "That's what I was trying to figure out myself." She kneels toward the body, cupping her left hand on the side of their head, where a light of some sort was rising from the body into her hand.

"Huh. Did not expect to see a body here of all places....Anyways, how have you been?" Rush asked with a friendly chirp.

Ebony sighed. "To be honest... Dull... Nothing new has been happening, lately. No parties, no excitement.." she finished collecting this glowing light. "And I just finished my job."

"Oh, um, I was thinking about maybe....er, we could go...on a date?" Rush started to say, slightly nervous with a pink tinge on his muzzle. He was relieved to be able to ask but he felt that he had to prepare for said date, just in case.

"Oh... uh.." Ebony was never approached like this before, so she honestly had no idea what to say. This ended up making her blush.

"I, uh... why not?" she eventually stated. "I'm open."

"Sweet! So, I was thinking I could pick you up at 3 in the afternoon. I mean if that's okay, you know, with your schedule and all...." he said smiling while rubbing back of his neck.

"I'm actually open for the next few weeks, so that works out!" She smiled, holding her hands behind her back, looking up to Rush. "Anything you have in mind, or is it a surprise?"

"Oh, it's definitely a surprise! But don't worry, it'll be worth the wait!" Rush says while grinning and rubbing his nose. "Anyways, I might as well get ready if we're going to hang out a while."

"Great!... so... I'll see you by three then?"

"Yep!" Rush said as he beamed at Ebony.

"Great!" She said, her smile now showing your teeth. It then faded out. "Oh yeah, you might wanna... uh... " she pointed to the corpse awkwardly. "Don't worry, there was no killer. His death was an accident."

"Okay, got it.." Rush just shrugged and snapped his fingers. A portal opened and sucked up only the body and not Ebony as it closed back up.

"Huh. That works." she opened another portal again, this one being quieter. "If I woke you up from the first one, I'm sorry. Hell is having some kind of war I honestly don't care about."

"Thought something was up....It's actually kind of funny. I thought Hell would be more, well, organized." Rush says thoughtfully as he looked upwards and laughed at the possibility of an organized Hell.

"Meh. Technically, it is supposed to be organized, but I just enjoy messing with them. They deserve it, to be honest... as does this guy here," she holds the same soul in her hand.

"Huh, makes a lot more sense. Anyways, I've gotta get going to prepare for our date." Rush replied with a flirtatious wink towards Ebony as he rushes off back to his house.

Ebony responded with a roll of her eyes, then giggled as she entered her portal. "See you at three then!"

"You will definitely see me at three!" Rush shouted as he took off towards his house.

Ebony watched him for a moment, smiling, then sighed to herself as she closed the portal behind her.

Chapter 2: Preparations
Rush, after reaching his house, carefully thought of places to go and what to wear in his head. He grabbed his world map and set it out on his table... "Hmm....."

In the nether, Ebony sat on her pillows. "What is pleasing to a Mobian? They're so diverse..." she summoned her portable closet and opened it, pondering about her choice of wear.

(Note: Rush's places in his dimension are a combination of the levels in Fancy Pants 3, Sonic 2, and Sonic and Knuckles.)

(k. Ebony's realm is basically a mansion on a floating island in the middle of purple space.)

In his house, Rush had figured already out some good places for the two to go and explore. ''"Okay so, we'll go though Route A first and head to Emerald Forest, then head south towards through Route B and at Carnival Top City and stop there so we can go to Pizza Hut's for some pizza. Maybe I'll figure out something along the way afterwards. Now for what to wear...." ''

Ebony looked at herself in the mirror. Tilted her head to the side, tiled back. She was wearing a small dress. Her fur was purple, thinking she needed to look professional for a date. I'm terrible at clothing, she thought to herself. It feels too cramped anyways, need something more free.

Rush headed towards his closet and looked for a good outfit to wear.... "Hmm, there's got to be something in here..."

Ebony walked up to the mirror again. She wore a normal shirt with a small skirt to go with it. "Uhmm.... would he like this?... If only I could read minds, this would be so much easier..." she walked off, looking for shoes to match.

Rush, meanwhile after searching through the closet, found a good outfit to wear. The outfit was made of black leisure-trousers with neon purple line on each side, a scarlet t-shirt with a flaming raven on it, a red leather cardigan with the kanji for "lightning" on the back to go over that, and brown sandals.

Ebony decided not to be picky, and only got plain shoes that would match her outfit. Ebony decided against taking of her jewelry, minus her ankle ones. "This looks good... I think...." she checked the time, seeing how much time she had left.

It appeared she has some time left to kill, after all it was only 1:59....

Meanwhile, Rush had decided to take a quick 5 minute shower, put on deodorant, brush his teeth, and that sort of stuff.

''An hour left.... what will I say to him, I've never been asked to a date before... how do you start off a date? Are you supposed to get there early?'' she opened her portal to Mobius again. We should bring gifts, I think... what would he want? she thought to herself, looking back around her room, deep in thought.

Rush, after putting on his outfit (and giving himself pep talk), decided to go into his secret room full of cool stuff to find a gift for Ebony. "I wonder if I still have that item....."

Considering herself ready, and not wanting to be late for her first date, Ebony decided to meet half an hour early. She thought about lines to rehearse as she entered the portal.

Rush found the item and put it in his Hammerspace as he then decided to get there early as well. He then opened up a portal that would take him to the same spot he saw Ebony earlier this morning.

Ebony had summoned a bench and sat on it, moving her legs back and forth, childlike, as she thinks about how this will turn out. Her back was facing towards Rush, and when not in battle, she's very open to be walked up on from behind.

Luckily for her, the portal Rush had opened was noticeably in front of her. Rush could then be seen walking out of the portal.

Ebony gulped. ''I gulped? A Divine like me, scared of a mortal?'' She shook the thought away, and hovered off of her seat.

When Rush walked out of the portal, he noticed Ebony floating over towards him. He thought he had died and went to another universe the moment he looked at her. He then walked up to Ebony not having any words to describe her beauty other than... "You look....indescribably beautiful...."

Chapter 3: Walk, Talks, and Lightsabers?!
Ebony momentarily stopped, still not used to being complimented like this. "Really? Th-thanks! You do to," she said, moving in closer to make their noses touch.

"Oh well, guess I'll have to get used to the whole touching nose thing...." Rush blushed a little at the contact. Not that he minded the action, but it was a little unfamiliar to him. "Whenever you're ready, let's walk over to that bridge to the A Route. The Emerald Forest is nearby and I have got to show you some cool places I found!" He then says excitedly with a fist pump.

"That sounds nice," she responded. Okay, off to a great start... a compliment, a greeting, and now the real date starts... don't mess this up. "I'm ready when you are!"

"After you, milady..." Rush says with a smile as he started to walk towards the bridge mentioned before...

Ebony gladly hovered along, slightly lowering herself due to remembering that not only he is leading the way, but, well, that she was wearing a skirt.

"So... What's in this emerald place?" she asked.

"You'll see when we get there....." Rush says with a playful tone as they walk together on the bridge with a surpisingly beautiful view of the ocean below. "So, what do you like doing on days off?"

"Pretty much, anything that will keep me off the mind of my job. Pools, parties, even a straight up walk in a scenery. I'm pretty much open for anything."

"When I'm not in a skateboarding competition or in high school, I do things like listen to music, read books, maybe go to the Chao Garden to tend to raising the Chao, train with Komerl, write stories and other stuff."

She began hovering backwards, now in front of Rush. "Komerl?"

"Yeah! You know him or something? He adopted me when I was about 7. He's always been kind of like a father figure to me...." he stopped walking to answer her question.

(I'm talking about O.O.C Komerl here, btw. - RedRush3999)

(I know.)

"I've never met him, but a friend I know told me about him," she responded. "So... you raise Chao?"

"Yeah, the Chao there are really friendly and I like playing with them. I sometimes even spend the weekend tat the Garden, just to keep them company.... " Rush says with a big grin, while he starts to slowly walk again. "They get nervous when I bring someone with me but if the person is seen as friendly, they'll warm up to them quickly!"

"Well, I'm not sure if I'll please them or not, due to my uh... career..." she responded, hovering alongside Rush. Was that really the best way you could respond, Ebony? she thought.

"Hey, don't worry! They don't really judge people based on background really. Besides, I don't think they'd worry too much even with your career." Rush says with a smile before suddenly getting an idea. "Hey! Why don't we go to the Garden after I finish showing you the sights around here? I promise that the Chao won't bite you!"

Ebony giggled at that. "Sure, I'd like to see your chao. The only thing I can truly say I take care of are my plants..." She quickly turned to Rush."They're not like Mobius plants, they're very interactive."

"Wait, talking plants?! That sounds awesome! I'd love to take a picture of them!" he said bouncing in excitement.

"Well, they don't talk, but they can move on their own to an extent, and glow multiple colors. I could bring you one to take care of if you want."

"Yeah! That's sounds cool. I like things that glow into multiple colors! Especially, my lava lamp and that huge diamond I found 2 days ago. Don't know how it got there.."

"Huge diamond, you say?" she asked, a curious look onto her face as her ear twitched.

"Yeah and it felt warm, kind of like energy was in it. I don't know.." Rush says looking up thoughtfully.

"We could look at it later another time if you want," she said, giving Rush a smile.

"That would probably be a great idea, just in case. Hey, there is the warp ring to the A route!" Rush exclaimed as he pointed towards a white Giant Ring.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" she responded, grabbing Rush's hand, attempting to hurry him along the way.

"Ok, let's go!" Rush says with excitement as he took the lead, as they both jumped into the ring.At the A route.....

The two are seen warped out of the Ring.

"Welp, here it is! Route A!" Rush says as they are standing at the beginning of the road.

"Wow," Ebony exclaimed, unintentionally moving ahead to explore.

"Wait a second, Ebony......" Rush suddenly felt a little tense, as he heard footsteps.

She stopped, hovering back to Rush. "Is there something wrong, Rush?"

Suddenly, a glowing white light saber was thrown towards the two but Rush luckily caught it by the handle.

"Alright, I know you're there. Now come on out...." Rush says in a calm voice stepping in front of Ebony.

A hooded figure stepped out of the nearby shadows. It noticeably had red irises with red swirls surrounding them.

"Well, well, well....If it isn't Rush. Looks like it's time to settle this..." the hooded figure says in a distorted voice as it drew a red lightsaber.

"Hmph...." Rush takes a step forward towards the figure, holding the white lightsaber with both hands.

"Uhm.." Ebony shrunk down to two inches tall, sitting on the left should or Rush. "Who is this guy?" she asked.

"Super Sonic but not as the one you know. In my dimension, let's just say he's not the heroic type..." he replied in a whisper to Ebony as he started to have a serious look on his face. "You might want to take cover, Ebony-chan. Things could get really rough...."

"You should quit talking with your girlfriend and focus on the battle at hand otherwise, I will kill you quickly." the hooded figure said with a dark smirk on his face. The hooded figure then lunged at Rush....

Ebony created an invisible barrier over her as she watched to see what Rush would do, wondering if it was okay to interfere or not. She was also worried about what was happening as well.

"............." Rush proceeded to also lunge at the figure as they swiftly clashed sabers. They both backflipped away from each other as they both then rushed at each other again. The hooded figure went for a swing to Rush's head but Rush swiftly dodged it and swung the saber at the hooded figure's mid-section, only for the figure to dodge it as well...

(BGM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjtyYGs1_WE)

''Do mortals like it when their fights are intervened? Only one way to find out...'' Ebony turned to Rush "Hey um, is it okay if I help?"

"Fine by me!" Rush says with a smirk.

With a smile, Ebony flicked up her finger, using a telekinetic strike at the edge of the opponent's light saber in order to throw his aim off, hopefully leaving him open.

The hooded figure then looked at his lightsaber and noticed something was up. He then lunged at Rush and swung his saber at him only for Rush to dodge it again.

Rush then took the opening and performed a sweep kick in order to trip him.

The hooded figure then instinctively put one hand on the ground and flipped onto his feet.

With another playful wave of the hand, Ebony smiled as she telekinetically pushed the back side of the enemy's feet the moment he landed on the ground.

The hooded figure growled as he fell to the ground but instantly got back up. "You......You'll pay for that."

He ran so fast that it looked like he disappeared and reappeared behind Rush. He then swings at a pace that would be considered abnormal towards Rush's head. However, Rush somehow sensed the attack coming and side steps out of the way in order to grab his arm.

Ebony steadies herself from the sidestep, and inched her way to hold on to the neck of Rush as the battle ensued.

Rush suddenly then let go of the hooded figure's arm.

The two then clashed at each other without stopping for 40 minutes...

"Not half bad....You pass." the hooded figure said as he withdrew his sword, smirking.

"....Eh?" Rush said caught off guard by the hooded figure's statement...

"You really don't remember do you?" the hooded figure says as he took off his hood. "I told you that I would test you when you least expected it....."

"Oh yeah!" Rush says as he snapped his fingers suddenly remembering what Super Sonic said 4 days earlier....

"Wow," Ebony exclaimed out loud. "What a twist..." she glanced over to Rush, giving a small smile for the entertainment.

"Yeah, that is quite a twist, huh?" Rush says as he turned his head towards Ebony then back at Super Sonic. "Soooo, what are you going to do now?"

"I can't believe that you forgot this but: I said if you proved yourself, I would allow myself to be merged with you so....." Super Sonic then ran into Rush's body, phasing into his body with a red flash.

(Note: Super Sonic  and Sonic seperated in Komerl's canon universe and Super was warped into Rush's dimension through unknown means. While Super does retain his love for destroying and killing like in Sonic the Comic, it noticeably has some amount of restraint when it comes to people who are deemed as innocent. Also to note, Super's chaos energy is converted into a type of elemental energy, that can be both powerful but too mentally unstablizing to use depending on the elemental type.)

(I checked out the link, and I was momentarily shocked by what I saw in the Future Plans category, XD)

Ebony jolted for a moment, not expecting the fusion, she ended up slipping and momentarily falling.

Rush then caught Ebony with his left hand instinctively. "Gggh......You alright, Ebony-chan? Sorry if you got hurt because of that....."

She flicked her head so some fur would get out of her eye. "Fine, thanks... what did.. what did he do?" she asked.

"He basically became a part of me but there's something else too. Like a new power of some sort. We can worry about this later. For now, though, let's head to Emerald Forest! Besides there's something cool there you have got to see!" Rush says with his previous happy go lucky demeanor as he puts Ebony on his left shoulder again. He then walks over to the Warp Ring.

Ebony shifted back into a sitting position on Rush's shoulder, prepared for what was going to happen next.

Rush then jumps into the ring as it makes a warping sound....

ACT II
(Gotta go now. We'll resume tomorrow! XD)

(AAAGH)

Chapter 1: The Emerald Forest
Ebony took on the greenish view of the environment. "Wow, very.... lively," she said, but quickly turned to Rush. "Not trying to make it sound like lively is a bad thing, or uhmm...." what are you DOING Ebony?

"Hey, there's no need to apologise. Besides, that's kind of like how I see the forest sometimes so it's alright. Kind of cool we have similar views on things..." Rush says with a smile as he shrugged.

Ebony sighed, feeling very awkward at the moment, but glad that Rush didn't take it the wrong way. She slid down the arm of Rush, landing on the ground and growing to her normal height of 11 inches.

"It's a nice place to relax in, we should come out here more often." "Yeah...." Rush replies as he lays down to take a nap for a while.

Ebony sat to the right side to him, her left hand unconsciously gliding through the grass.

".........." Rush seems to be peacefully sleeping with a smile on his face. He then goes into a fox-like sleeping position. "Num nums...."

Ebony playfully crawled over and playfully poked Rush's side. "Speaking of num nums, I want some nom noms."

".....Hehehe....Nom noms?....." Rush replied slightly chuckling and moving a little bit but still fast asleep.

Ebony laughed to herself. He likes sleep almost as much as me, she thought, laying back herself to gaze at the view. She then looked at Rush with a sly smile before summoning a fresh bread roll and hovering it just above Rush's head.

"......Zzzzz......" Rush still seemed to be alseep, not aware of anything.

Slightly irritated that the food didn't work, she desummoned it. She then scooted closer to Rush as she gently tickled his stomach.

".........H-Huh? Heeheehee....." Rush then woke up, noticing Ebony tickling him and said while laughing, "Okay, okay, I'm up....Ready to go now?"

Ebony laid back in the grass. "I'm ready when you are, I was just playing around with you before."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Well, let's get going..." Getting up, Rush took Ebony by the hand and led her along the path somewhere else.

Ebony jumped up, slightly startled because she was lying down, but then began hovering so she could keep up with Rush. "So, what did you forget?" she asked.

"Oh just wanted to show you something here and then head over to Route B!" Rush says with a shrug as he lead them both deep into the forest and they eventually find an opening..... As a Emerald-green colored Flicky flew towards Rush and flew around in a circle. It also noticed Ebony and flew towards her. As it chirped to say hello, it landed on her left shoulder.

Ebony giggled; it felt ticklish. Ebony turned her attention toward the view and gaped with an open mouth at its beauty. "It's... amazing!"

"Yeah....." Rush says as he thinks of something within his memories.

Ebony unconsiously began walking towards the water, taken in by the scenery.

"........." Rush then sat by the lake, his arms hugging his knees.

Ebony waded into the lake enjoying the feel of water. "One thing I can't stand," she stated, summoning a small room around her, "is the fact that water doesn't exist in my dimension.. at least, not like this."

"Wait, water doesn't exist in your dimension?! Eeeehhhhh?!" Rush said shocked out of his mind. "Huh, I thought that all dimensions at least had some water..."

"Well," she said through the room, "There's an alternate form of water with the same properties, but it's... well, it's a very dark red color. This universe is one of the few universes with beautiful water like this."

"Kind of like blood, Kool-Aid, or Blood-Aid." Rush said out loud to Ebony, mentally thinking of this as well.

"Whatever floats your boat!" She responded as the room began disintegrating from top to bottom. Ebony was then revealed in a swimsuit as she began walking deeper into the water, turning around. "We don't have to be anywhere soon, do we?" she asked.

"No, I don't think so...." Rush says while looking away. Not that he had a problem with the swimsuit but he was being respectful.

Once she got to the deeper parts of the water, she dove down for a moment, then reemerged 10 feet further in. "Can you not swim?" she yelled over to Rush, floating over the water on her back, her wings smaller than normal.

"Of course I can swim!" Rush says as he snapped his fingers, and instantly was wearing just swim trunks. He then quickly swam a few laps...

Ebony stopped swimming, looking at how fast Rush was moving throughout the water. She sensed no energy, so she knew this speed was Rush's natural speed. "Wow, you're fast!"

"When it comes to swimming, I'm pretty good at it." Rush says while climbing out of the lake and drying himself off.

She swam out behind him at a slower pace, moving her wet hair out of her face. "I miss the water," she said, smiling at Rush. "You have to teach me to swim like that someday, Rush."

"Sure!" Rush says handing Ebony a towel and snaps his fingers to make another towel appear for himself.

"Thanks, Rush," she responded as she took the towel, first drying her hair, then the rest of her body before putting the towel around her neck. She turned around to get a final look at the lake.

"......." Rush then puts out his left hand and uses his ki to do something...

Ebony glanced at Rush, feeling his energy. "What are you doing?" she asked, confused and curious.

"..........." His ki then formed into a greenish energy ball as he shot towards the lake. The lake's water color changed to a bright green as it seemed to split into 2 walls as it revealed shining emeralds......Lots and lots of emeralds.....

Ebony glanced down with curiosity. "They're all so beautiful," she remarked at the sight. Ebony turned towards Rush. "Are they yours?"

"Nope. They are yours now though!" he says as he rubbed his nose, a little nervous.

Ebony almost dropped the beach towel on the ground. "...You're joking?"

"No. Why?" Rush said with a blank face.

With a bigger smile than she has shown before, Ebony gave a small hug around the waist of Rush. "Thanks for the emeralds!" She said happily.

"N-No problem!" Rush says with a big red blush on his face. He prayed to Chaos that she didn't notice him blushing, not that he minded anyways.

She was so happy for the gift that Ebony didn't realized that her fur color changed yellow. "You know I'm going to have to try to give you a bigger present now," she said, secretly reluctant to let go of Rush.

Rush noticed her fur changed color and asked smiling as he asked, "Hey, why is your fur yellow? That's so cool!"

She looked at Rush, confused, then gazed at herself. She instantly began blushing. "Oh, uhm.. that sometimes that happens on its own," she said, eventually changing her fur back to its normal red. "Sometimes I don't notice it. I guess it's my feelings taking over.. sorry."

"I actually love how you change fur color. Wish I could do that though....Kind of jelly now." Rush says with a smile.

Ebony turned to hide the fact that she is blushing even more. She always thought of her fur changing color uncontrollably was embarrassing. "You.. you really like it?" she asked, glancing back at Rush's eyes. Nope nope, don't look at his eyes, look at something else. She looked down towards his chest. This isn't working, just look away! In which she did, now almost as red as her fur.

"Of course I do! It's cute." Rush then lays down by a nearby sakura tree.

Ebony planted the beach towel down and laid down beside him. "So how about you? Any special thing you can do?"

"Hmmm, well, I can skateboard, use my ki, use water manipulation, and can transform into a god"

"A god?" she says with an astonished expression, now scanning his ki for anything of the sort..

"Heh heh....You can't sense it right now while I'm in my base form, Ebony. Wait here for a second." Rush then stands up and flies over to an open area. He then closes his eyes and begins to concentrate his ki. It seems that he needs some intense concentration...

Ebony flies over not to far away, floating about 50 feet in the sky as he watches Rush's Life Force energy.

A bright flash of orange light is then seen surrounding Rush as a column of flaming orange energy engulfs his body. His fur color is then seen to change from his normal red to a bright scarlet.

Ebony stared in complete surprise.

"It's.. honestly beautiful," she said, noting Rush's fur.

The transformation is then seem to be complete as a bright blue flash occurred. His fur is a bright scarlet and his aura was a violent, flaming orange. He began to open his eyes and they were noticeably red.

Ebony walked over to Komerl, a little worried. "When did... how did you get this power?"

"How? Hmmm, where do I start?" God Rush begins to say while scratching his cheek.

Ebony unconsciously changed a pale blue as she stood in front of Komerl, looking up to him. "I.. I can't believe a mortal has become this powerful. It's.... amazing!" He does look good as a bright re-- what am I thinking?

"Hey, you're blue now. What does that mean?" God Rush said blinking, oblivious to her thoughts at the moment.

"Eh?" she looked down at herself again. why me? she thought, glancing back up to Rush. "It's nothing, really, just emotional reactions..." she continued looking at Rush, touching his chest in order to get a better understanding of his new power, not thinking about the awkwardness of that at the moment.

(Uh, it's Rush not Komerl. LOL!)

God Rush seemed to look at Ebony, blushing a little at the contact again before he got reminded of something. "Oh yeah! You asked about my power? So, it happened like this..."

He then proceeded to explain that he met Goku, who surprisingly taught him how to acheive it on his own...

(Shoot, the whole komerl talk mixed me up, XD)

Ebony nodded at all of this, taking it in. Eventually, she took a hesitant sigh, before trying to hide it with a smile. "So... the strength of a god, huh?"

"Yeah, he really likes fighting though. Kind of surprised I survived when he turned Blue....." God Rush said blinking. He then noticed something was up with Ebony. "What's up, is there something wrong?"

Ebony looked down. "It's... I thought the change meant something else," she said glumly, hugging herself.

"Oh, it does actually! It means the warmth of being excited and happy multiplied by a lot. Huggy time!" Rush says while snuggling into Ebony while smiling. "I wonder if...NO! No kissing on the first date, man!"

Ebony let Rush hug her. I'm glad we got off that topic... I think I'll tell him later... besides, his fur really is warm! She eventually returned the hug, snuggling her head into his chest.

"Oh yeah, we have to go to Route B now! Let's go! You probably might want to put your clothes back on though." He picks her up bridal style and flies towards a Warp Ring nearby.

"Wow, I know it's in your name, but if you want me to put my clothes on, stop rushing!" she exclaimed, holding on to Rush as they near the warp ring.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sorry." God Rush then landed and put her down gently with a nervous blush. It appears that the God form's aura disappeared but his scarlet fur and red irises remained. "Well, you should get some clothes on now. I'll be standing over there not looking...." he then walked over to a tree and rested there.

"Do you think that she'd....NO! What is wrong with you?!!" he then mentally punched himself in the face for having those thoughts in his mind. "Dang it, dad! You and your ero-sennin ways..."

Slightly shivering herself now leaving the warmth of Rush, she formed a room one again, changing back into the clothes she had on before.

After a moment, she left the room, dusting off her shoulder. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting!" she smiled.

"Nope, not really!" Rush says as he walked over to the Warp Ring. It seems that his God form had worn off...

(CURSES! YOU STOLE MEH LUCKY EDIT BADGE! XD)

Ebony still pondered about that form, still thinking it was too goof to be true. It can't be him... he got it from this Goku fellow, so it can't be him... right? she stood there in a trance.

(OMG! I finally got another badge! Sorry though. XD)

Rush then saw that Ebony was in a trance and walked towards her, completely oblivious as he touched her forehead. "Uh....You okay there?"

The touch made Ebony jump, her fur turning white. "Oops, sorry about that," she said shyly as she hovered alongside Rush.

"Oh hey! You're white now. Cool! But, hey, question. Do you think I kind of remind people of someone? Kind of weird that people say that lately." Rush then stopped walking, looking at Ebony with a confused look on his face.

She paused midflight, looking ahead at the warp ring. First, she changed her fur color, then she glanced in Rush's direction.

"It's... personal... something I'll tell you on a better day." She hoped for Rush not to press on and to press on at the same time.

"But, it is a better day though.....Pwease....." Rush says sitting down with an adorable pout face. It actually looked hilarious....

She tried not to smile, but gave in with a laugh as she playfully shoved Rush. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you! Just stop with that face!"

(btw I gtg home, so I'll respond in 30-50 minutes)

(Cool with me!)

"Okay!" He said with a smile on his face as he sat down, criss cross style. "So, what do you think?"

Ebony sat down beside Rush, taking in a deep breath. "It's um... There's this girl..." she started off.

"........." Rush has a serious but curious look on his face as he listened intently. He seemed to be paying attention so Ebony shouldn't have to worry about him paying attention somewhere else.

"She... Well, for starters, Beacon... That's her name... she's my twin sister."

"Whoa.....That's cool!"

"In the beginning, we were assigned our jobs. I had Death, she had Life... There was this other guy, who abused his power of destruction... Havoc, he calls himself. Eventually, he began trying to create a revolt, to assume control over everything, and rule everything to his will... Me and my sister attempted to fight him..."

".........." Rush's face seemed concerned for Ebony.

"I.. I couldn't stop him from....." she let out a shaky sigh. "She spoke to me telepathically just before, saying she will reincarnate herself... but I still wished I could've prevented it in the first place."

"Ebony...." he hugs her tightly with a frown. "I think......Your sister did what she thought was best to save your life. However, she wouldn't want you to live in regret over what happened......If she didn't do that, you wouldn't be here. And, well, things would be boring..."

She looked back up to Rush, giving a small smile. "...to be honest... it's the reason why I try to have so much parties, go out on adventures, do anything fun, really.... because in the end, when I do my job, the memory haunts me the whole way..."

Ebony now held a steady gaze to Rush. "When I felt your godly power, I thought you were her incarnation... silly me, it would be awkward if she reincarnated into a male."

"I don't really know for sure but I did feel another presence when I first transformed into it....." Rush says while looking up thoughtfully and rubbing his chin..

Ebony eventually rested her head on Rush, closing her eyes. "I'm sorry I uh.. ruined the mood," she stated calmly.

"Didn't I say not to apologize, Ebony?" Rush asked with a sly smile on his face and half opened eyelids.

She laughed silently. "I never realized I do that a lot," she replied softly.

"Well, now you know. Let's get going..." Rush replied with a smile as he jumped into the ring. Little did he know, he reactivated his God form again without any concentration. Not only that but it seemed to be in a more controlled state.....

Chapter 2: The City, and a Carnival for Dinner?!
Ebony, flew in the portal right beside Rush, scanning the environment they were in now. Before she scanned the environment, she joked, "So I have to change back into my clothes but not you?"

"Huh? Oh." God Rush says as he snapped his fingers, changing into his previous outfit.

A smirk came upon Ebony's lips. "Wish I could do that.." she said to Rush, now looking about at the environment. Man his arms were so warm, I wish I-- stop it, Ebony! "So, what do you want to do now?" Rush asked Ebony as he sat down.

"Well, you've shown me a lot.. more then I can show myself. " she said, sitting beside him."Still, I feel as if I should return the favor..."

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Rush says, oblivious to what Ebony was planning.

"You've taken me sightseeing, I might as well show you something... thing is, I don't think I really have any places just as special as yours...",

"I doubt that, Ebony-chan...Your places might be special too...." Rush says, not noticing he added the suffix to her name. "Besides, you really need to give yourself some credit."

Ebony smiles and blushes after hearing this. "Seems fair enough... Rush-kun," she said as she poked his side.

"Heh heh." Rush said, rubbing his nose as he leads them both to another warp ring. He seemed to be open to more questions...

"So... what do you usually do?" She asked, holding her hands behind her back.

"Hmmm, go to high school, work at Pizza Hut with my shirt off, read news stories about physcotic people going after their senpai, skateboarding, etc."

"Sounds simple.... a life I wish I could have..." she said, scratching her ear as she shyly looks away.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, you could literally have two lives at once....Right?" Rush says looking up in thought.

"Well.. if my job didn't cut into it, I could have an awesome life like yours..." she said, unconsciously looking into Rush's eyes whilst walking beside him.

"Aw, now you're just making me blush. Besides, your life seems awesome too.....But I meant like to make a clone to do your job for you." Rush says.

Ebony laughed, then sighed. "I wish... I haven't indulged in magic arts enough to make clones, nor am I naturally a magician. In my opinion... learning magic is boring. Maybe it's because I'm a slow learner with magic."

Rush just shrugs as he puts his arms behind his head. "Meh.....Oh, I think Carnival Top City's Warp Ring is here. There is a bakery that has the best donuts ever!"

The warp ring glowed suddenly glowed green....

"Sounds... sweet. I was getting a little hungry myself!" she chirped happily, grabbing Rush's hand as she tried to quicken the pace just a bit.

"Come to think of it, I'm getting hungry too! Say, why don't we get some cheeseburgers first and then dessert!" Rush says chuckling a little at Ebony's enthusiasm as he led then both into the Warp Ring.

As they exited the warp ring, Ebony moved in front of Rush and put her hand on Rush's chest in a way to stop him.

"A... cheeseburger?" she asked.

"Wait.....You've never had a cheeseburger?" Rush asked dumbfounded.

"No..." she tilted her head sideways. "What's it like?"

"Since you don't know what a cheeseburger is, as of today...You will get and eat your first one, mark my words !" Rush suddenly got giddy and grabbed her hand as he ran into the city....

(We'll resume tomorrow. XD)

("You're killin' me Smalls!") Ebony, being in front of Rush, was actually pulled into his chest. However she didn't seem to mind, and actually enjoyed it as she held on. Due to her personality of loving to be comforted, she loves travelling bridal style.

During the run, Ebony glanced up at the city, acknowledging its looks. "Everytime I enter a city, I'm usually so focused on getting my job done that I've never paused to take in its beauty.."

"Huh.....It is nice to notice that once in a while...." Rush then ran towards a nearby restaurant, putting Ebony down gently. It should be noticed that Rush doesn't have superspeed.

didn't think he was using speed...

Ebony took the moment to glance around at the restaurants interior, then back to Rush. "I really do hope the cheeseburger is as good as you say it is," she remarked.

(what was thou doing up this late? XD)

(I have on idea, bro.) "Trust me, it is......." Rush replied with a sly smile. He then finds them a place to sit nearby as he pulls out Ebony's chair for her.

With yet another smile, Ebony gladly takes a seat. Her wings fold in and shrink in size a bit. She then frowns as she attempts to move her tail in a comfortable position. "I never liked this tail," she thought to herself, accidentally out loud.

"......Huh? Why?" Rush says looking a little confused.

Ebony's frown turned into a pout. "It's just... so big, that it sometimes gets in the way for me... and the spikes don't help," she said, eyes focused on the tail the whole time. She finally resorted to putting her tail over her lap before looking back at Rush. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean for you to hear it."

"It's fine! Also, your tail is so freaking adorable." Rush whispers to Ebony as he goes over to a counter where a green cat with shades waits to take his order.....

Ebony sighed, beginning to slowly massage her tail. What does he see in you that I don't? she thought to herself. She ended up using the end of her tail to playfully tickle her cheek for a moment before turning over to look at Rush as she waited.

"Hey there, Breeze!" Rush said with a big grin towards the green cat.

"Rush, what's up, dude!" he replied with a smirk as they both fist bump. "So, you here to hang or you here to order,  bro?"

"I'll take three cheeseburgers and 2 chocolate milkshakes." Rush replied with a cheerful attitude as he waited for the the cat to ring up his order....

"That will be 4 Rings, my dude!" the green cat suddenly leaned closer to Rush with an all knowing smirk and whispered, "I noticed you walk in with a girl earlier and the way you ran in? That was something else....You two going out or something?"

"How did you-" Rush said with his eyes widened a little, a little flustered as he gave him the proper amount of Rings.

"You just told me. " the green cat said with a snicker, as he went over to give it to the chef in the back.

"Oh come on!" he says, mentally facepalming as he went back over to the table to sit down and wait on their meal.

"Hey, Ebony. We may need to wait on our meals for a little bit...." he says as he sat down besides Ebony.

"Okay!" she said, almost too enthusiastically, then she calmed down a bit. She blushed from her response and shyly looked away.

"Heehee! I love your enthusiasm!" Rush says looking at Ebony with a smile while fist pumping.

This made Ebony blush even more, and she covered her face with one of her hands. "Y-you really think that?" she said, uneasy sounding.

(should probably work on Midnight's story as well XD)

"YES!" Rush shouted in excitement, performing somewhat of a shoryuken.

Breeze snickered yet again as he watched those two. "He never changes, does he?...."

She slowly put her hand down, gazing at Rush with a soft smile as her blushing lessened. She was at a loss of words, due to almost no one ever complimenting her for her 'flaws', and Rush being the first to like her for how she is. Her red fur lightened just a bit, became slightly more pink.

"Hey, Rush! Your order's ready, bro!" Breeze says with a smile as he crosses his arms.

"Ebony, I'll be back with the burgers! Hey, you're pink now....." Rush says while pointing at her in amazement at her new color.

Ebony glanced down at herself, and could only look at Rush and nod. ''Pink? This is new... I wonder what pink is supposed to mean...''

"Cool! Oh yeah, got to get the burgers..." Rush says with a smile as he walks over to get the food and return back to the table.

After taking a whiff of the aroma of the burgers, Ebony's fur color gradually grew back to red as she now focused on the burger. "So that's what they were called..." she thought as she looked at them.

"Huh? Are they named something different in your dimension?" Rush says a little curious.

"Every now and then I come here on my job, I see it. I never knew what it was until now," she shrugged. She then awkwardly has to stand up in her seat to reach over for a hamburger.

With a smile, Rush then gives Ebony her hamburger before she can even think to move...

Blushing, she thanked Rush as she picked up the hamburger, and after some inspection, took a medium sized bite, which was small in comparison to Rush.

"Heh heh, no problem! Piece of cake." Rush replies as he scarves down half of the burger already...

After the first bite, she set her hamburger down, pondering over the taste as she turned a forest green.

"Hey, Ebony, you alright? You are literally green....."

"I... I don't know..." she says. "I honestly can't tell if this is good or bad... Is that weird?"

(gonna add to her page what each color means)

(You do that!)

"Meh, that's fine."

She looked back at the hamburger, taking it back up, and trying it again. She seemed to enjoy it more, because she was slowly turning back to red. After eating it more than halfway, she stopped. "Rush... what do you like, as in, what do you want to be able to have or do?"

"Well, maybe...." Rush starts off a little nervous as he rubs the back of his neck. "Uh....A-A girlfriend, m-maybe?"

Then, for the first time, just briefly, Ebony flashed a light blue and pink gradient, which eventually went to complete pink. "O-oh.. r-really?" she stammered.

"Y-yeah...." He replied honestly as he ate the rest of the cheeseburger. He may be open to more questions concerning the topic...

(We'll resume tomorrow. Gotta get home soon! XD)

(Nuuu)

Her breath silently increased in pace. "Well uh.. what do you like in a girl?"

"Y-You're pretty much....t-the kind of girl I want t-to be with....You're fun, kind of mysterious, can change multiple colors, have the coolest job ever, and all sorts of stuff." He says with a huge blush, scratching his ears.

"Y-you.." her fur grew a paler pink. "I..." her breathing speed increased more as her heartbeat began pounding her. As her blushing intensified, a sweat dropped appeared on her forehead as she stood there lost for words.

Rush just sat there, twiddling his thumbs as he reached for the two milkshakes....

Ebony got up from the table. "Uhh.. R-Rush? I'm going to go to ladies room for a moment, okay?" She said in a quiet voice.

"Oh, okay!" Rush said with a thumbs-up, still a little nervous from the confession but also feeling happy.

Ebony replied with a nervous nod, hovered to the bathroom, entered, and leaned on the side of the wall, trying to calm down. ''He just said that, how do I respond? What do I do? ..Do I actually like him? Is that what pink fur means?'' Ebony began hyperventilating for a moment in anxiousness.

Rush seemed worried about Ebony. He hope to Chaos she was alright...."Maybe I was too forward with that? Ugh, I hate myself sometimes..."

Eventually, Ebony calmed down enough to the point where she was back to her reddish pink. Why can't I control this pink fur? She glanced at herself in the mirror, stretched her wings a bit, and hovered out of the bathroom. moving back to the table with a shy look upon her.

Rush then rubbed his nose in a nervous expression as he looked at Ebony. "U-Um, soooooo.....I have gotten le milkshakes!" He says in a fake French accent as he got the milkshakes to place on each of their spots

With a shy scratch from the back of her head, she reached for the milkshake. "Thank you.... uhm, about that interruption, I'm sorry, I just..." she tried not to stammer. "...I just needed to gather my thoughts to tell you.."

"Yeah?" Rush said with a shy expression as he rubs the back of his neck.

(That moment when one minor tweak increases the power of your verse exponentially..)

"..I-It's okay to take the milkshakes out, right? I want to tell you in a more um... private setting..."

"Sure, I take my milkshakes with me all the time." he said suddenly thinking of cookies for a split second.

Ebony gets up out of her seat, turning to push it in. She seemed ready to get whatever she was thinking of out of her head.

"Whoa!" While walking, Rush unfortunately slips on a banana peel and falls over on his back, with his milkshake spilled all over his face. It would have looked hilarious to anyone who saw that.

Due to Ebony being on edge, she instinctively batted away the milkshake away from Rush. The milkshake still hit the floor, but luckily Rush wasn't messy. Ebony stopped hovering to land beside him.

"Rush, Are you okay? I'm-- I'm sorry for rushing you," she stated quickly, trying to get Rush back on his feet.

"It's fine! That was hilarious though!" Rush said, laughing at the fact that he slipped on the banana peel. He then proceeded to get up. "So, you ready to go somewhere else? You wanted to tell me something in private...."

"Um.. right.." she said shyly, picking up her milkshake as she tried to lead Rush out.

"Uh, where are we going?" Rush asked with a confused look on his face.

"Uumm..." she looked around, eventually spotting a park. "There?"

"Oh, um, alright...." Rush says with a shrug as they went to the park nearby...

As they got to the park, Ebony was a gradient of light blue and pink. ''Do I really want to say this? You came this far, so you have to do this. But what if you mess it up?...''

"I wonder what she's going to say? And why do we need to go somewhere private?" Rush thought in his head, as he sat on a nearby bench and scratched behind his ears again.

(I'm thinking of Ice cream Twix for some reason.....)

(I honestly think that Twix could possibly taste good sprinkled in ice cream, lol)

Ebony sat beside Rush, taking in a deep breath, then letting it out. "Okay... so about what you said earlier.."

"Y-Yeah? What's up?" Rush says listening intently to Ebony as he looked at her, a little shy.

"I uh... I think... I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now, but I think I feel the same way about you," she said, looking at Rush. She then regretted saying this, turning blue as she immediately turned her head to look away.

"Ebony-chan...." Rush said with a soft smile and a small blush, surprised by her answer as he walked towards her. "Since we feel the same way about each other, let's see where this goes....You know, relationship-wise!" he says with a thumbs up

Thankful that it turned out well, but still fearful, she silently gulped before looking up to Rush. "You... you mean... as a date date?"

"Of course, Ebony! It'll be--Wait, aren't we already on a date?" Rush says with a sly look on his face. "Oh, and we still need to get those donuts..."

"W-what I--" she calmed down as her blushing slowly started to come back.

"I mean as in..." she said slowly, "dating... as in boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Oh that.....Obviously, duh!" Rush says smiling at her.

With that confirmed for her, she looked up to Rush, smiled, then wrapped her arms around his waist. Her fur was changed into a rose red once more.

Rush then returned the hug with a smile. After 2 minutes of hugging, he then said something else. "Okay then, now to get those donuts...."

With a nervous smile, Ebony nodded in agreement.

"Heh heh!" Rush then picked up Ebony bridal style and activated his skates. He then skated out of the park.....

Ebony held on once more. "So.. where are we getting the donuts again?" she asked.

"Two words: Dunkin' Donuts....." Rush said with a smile on his face.

"I've heard of that place," she said, brushing her hair back due to the wind. Her fur was back to a normal red color once more. "I think I've had one donut from there before, and I admit it was amazing. It's why I started making some back at home."

Rush gasped in amazement and he seemed excited over the fact that Ebony could cook.

"You COOK?! Oh man, you've got to have me over for dinner! What do you cook? Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Dessert?" he said the last part in a sly tone.

"I can cook, but there are some people who just beg to cook for me," she smirked, "it's kind of a long story to explain why." she shrugged. "I'd cook for you, however." (you'll get a hint of the 'cooks' in the Divine's section)

"Yay......." Rush says suddenly daydreaming about Ebony and lots of food. He seemed dazed when thinking of foods.

Ebony giggled, and rested her head on Rush's chest, snuggling herself.

It seemed that they were at Dunkin' Donuts only Rush seemed to still think of food. "Nom noms........"

"We're here, you're going to get your nom noms," she giggled, poking his nose with her finger.

"Oh, right. Sorry, thinking of you and food! Let's go inside...." Rush says with a blush on his nuzzle, putting Ebony down and leading her inside.

When Ebony walked in she sighed at the smell of fresh dough. "I want to revisit already, and I haven't even been here for ten seconds."

Suddenly, while they were still outside it started to rain donuts.

Ebony stopped, looking up in wonder as she turned light blue. "How..."

"It sometimes rains donuts in my dimension. That and they're so delicious!" Rush says while grabbing a few of them...

A donuts landed on Ebony's head and drops into her hand. She looks at it pleasantly. "I think I'll have to visit here more often.."

"Rmmm.....rmmmm!" Rush says happily while munching down on the donuts....

Ebony took a small bite, and instantly turned yellow in response as she ate the rest of the donut. "It's so good," she said while eating.

"Right?" Rush says still eating donuts, as he just sat down for a second.

"Anything else special about your dimension?" She asked, slowly turning back red.

"There is a valley full of Rings near my house..." Rush says blinking his eyes.

"Really?... You sound wealthy for a guy who likes to have fun." She playfully punched him in the shoulder.

"I don't care about wealth that much, to be honest. I often give some of the rings to charities, poor people, and animal shelters. It's nice to help people who are less fortunate!" Rush says with a smile, as he sat in a nearby chair. "By the way, I was wondering if you could make me your size! It looks so fun!"

Ebony laughed, sitting beside him. "I could only wish for a power like that... I can control my height change, but I can't do the same for others."

"Aw, man. Oh well..." Rush shrugged as he went to sleep for the second time today.

...Again? Ebony asked, puzzled. I wonder if he's part cat, like me. Ebony sighed, stretching, then rested her head on his shoulder, thinking about how she would return the favor of the date, since Rush had shown her so much.

"......." Rush simply curled into a ball and went into a deep sleep. It seemed he would be asleep for about 2-4 hours.

Ebony sighed to herself, taking a moment to hum a nice song she made up in her head. She slowly began dozing herself.

In Rush's mindscape...

He seemed to be in a destroyed city with flames, dead bodies and destroyed buildings everywhere. The atmosphere here just spelled destruction everywhere. It seemed that Rush was in his negative part of his conscious, the one side of him that he always hides so well...

"Huh? Super, what are you doing here?" Rush said surprised at his appearance.

"Hey there, Rush. You mind if we talk for a second?" Super Sonic asks with an insane smirk, crossing his arms.

"Yeah. Uh, what's up?" Rush says, shivering at the empowered being's insane smirk.

"Alright, since we have some time to work with until your subconscious wakes you up, let's get straight to the point here. I was the manifestation of negative emotions manifested when Sonic felt any stress or extremely negative emotions. Since I am fused with you now, if you feel extreme helplessness, stress, or anger, I will manifest and destroy the cause of your emotional distress." Super Sonic said, flying around and firing at the flaming buildings with his eye lasers.

Rush took this into account with wide eyes, scared and shocked with what he just heard. "What?!"

Ignoring Rush, he proceeded to continue his talk with Rush.

On the outside of his mindscape, he seemed to be tossing and turning in fear, disturbed...

Ebony glanced up at this. She was no mind reader, unless the body was dead, so all she could think was that Rush was having a mere nightmare. She tried hugging him to calm him down.

Rush seemed to calm down but unknown to Ebony, it was no mere nightmare...

Ebony gripped Rush's hand, laughing to herself as she thought of something to give Rush from home.

Super then suddenly disappeared from his conscious, with Rush waking up. He did not seem to be in a joking mood.

Ebony looked up. "Are you okay, Rush? You didn't seem to sleep too well..."

Rush looked at Ebony for a second and sighed. "I had an encounter with Super again...It wasn't good."

"Ah... so, a premonition of some sort? Or can he enter your dreams?"

"A bit of both...." Rush said rubbing his temples...

"Mind games... yikes." She scratches her head. "I know about those all too well..."

"Yep. So, where do we go next? We did technically have our donuts. Hmmm....." He then rubbed his chin, looking around.

He then noticed a...silver warp ring in the nearby distance.

Where did that come from? "What the....That's weird." He then walked over to it in confusion and intrigue...

Ebony flew over to the warp ring, eyeing it carefully as she waited for Rush to catch up.

"You think we should go in?" Rush asks Ebony, crossing his arms. He seem to carefully eye it as well. The ring seemed...odd and unfamiliar to him.

"Hrmm... hold on." Ebony looks at the warp ring from a higher dimensional view to see where it leads.

It turns out that it was a void, in a gab between dimensions.....

"I don't see anything," she responded, then looked at Rush. "Shall we go?"

"Might as well see what's in there....." Rush says before closing his eyes, transforming into his God form again. This time, it could have felt more intense than before to Ebony. It also seemed that there was another presence with him but it wasn't Super....

Ebony looked at Rush with worry, but assumed that he would be able to take care of himself. "Alrighty then," she stated, grabbing his hand. "Let's go."

Rush looks at her and gave her a smile, before staring at the ring intensely. "Yeah.." he says as the two jumped into the ring.

Chapter 1: A God or just another creepypasta.....
It looked like the complete opposite of the city they were in.

"This is.... peculiar," was Ebony's first thoughts, eye gazing around in curiosity.

Rush then nods as he looks around as well.

While they were here, Ebony attempted to sense for any form of energy in the surrounding area, unconsciously floating upwards.

"Hello there..." A voice said as a shadow of what seems to be Sonic appeared in front of them. It seemed that the shadow's arms was crossed.

"Is this.. the same guy from before?" Ebony asked, moving closer to Rush.

Rush looks to Ebony and nods his head no, turning to face the shadow again and narrowed his eyes at the shadow. He then proceeds to ask the shadow a question. "Who are you and where are we?"

"Simple. You are in my world now. And I..." The shadow then is revealed to be Sonic, only his eyes were closed. They snapped open as he finished his reply with a blood curling smirk, his voice becoming distorted and demonic. "AM GOD."

Ebony could've sensed that this Sonic had an evil and killer vibe to him, unlike the Sonic they know. There was also an appearance difference as well. While their universe's Sonic has white eyes and green irises, this Sonic had black eyes and red irises. Also this Sonic's fur was a shade darker than the original and he had blood covered all over him.

"Oh.... him," she said in an irritated tone.

"You know him, Ebony?" Rush asked, a little surprised.

"I've ran into him before, since he's uh... dead?" She shrugs, confused herself of how to explain that.

"Huh." Rush says crossing his arms.

Ebony turns toward the demonic creature. "What are you doing here?" she interrogated.

"That is what I should be asking you. " The creature said with a flash of interest in his eyes.

Ebony's hair began slowly turning darker as she grumbled at the foe.

The creature then turned to Rush and raised an eyebrow. "Hmm...You're a new one....And what is your name?"

"Uh, Rush. Why?" Rush said blinking and pointing at the creature.

"Interesting...." The creature responded looking at him, with a flash of intrigue. The creature then turned back to Ebony, narrowing his eyes. "You do realize you are in my domain. If you want to go back to your dimension, you will have to play a little game....."

"I've had it with your games," she said, her fur now black. "Let me out now or you'll regret it later.."

The creature stared at Ebony, not really affected by her threat. He then closes his eyes and rubs his chin. It seemed to be thinking of something at the moment.

Ebony's fur began to get dark to the point that it was hard to see a furry texture.

"Hmmm..." The creature then snapped his fingers and a Blue Warp Ring appeared. He then started to walk towards Rush, an unreadable expression on his face.

Rush then raised his his eyebrow at the creature and crossed his arms. "What?"

"One thing before you both go back, I need something from you. An answer for me, if you will...." The creature asked crossing his arms as well.

"What is it?" Rush then asked with an annoyed expression.

"How are you able to use a god's power and yet you are a mortal?" The creature asked with a blood-curling smile.

"I don't think you should tell him," Ebony responded.

"You really want to know, huh?" Rush says, getting very close to the creature's face, smirking confidently and narrowing him eyes.

"I'm waiting..." the creature said, faking a yawn. Too bad the creature was about to get the answer he didn't want but the one he deserved...

"Okay then." Rush smirked as he then grabbed the demon's left arm and swung him around a few times. He then tossed him up in the air, the creature yelling in panic.

"H-Hey, what the-Oh, no...." The creature says as he saw Rush performing wide sweeping arm movements before cupping his hands together.

"Kamehame......" Rush says as he charges the beam, his God form's Aura making him seem to be on fire....

Ebony took notice of this and smiled, moving beside Rush as she applied her energy to the blast as well.

"Ebony, what do you say we end this little creepypasta?" Rush said with a mischievous and sly grin, eyeing Ebony.

Ebony looked back, a smirk on her face. "Let's teach him who is god," she replied.

"Say bye bye, Mr. God! HAAAAAAA!" Rush says, firing the beam at the creature...

"OH SH" The creature said, as he unfortunately didn't get to finish the sentence. The beam of energy hit the creature head on, not leaving a trace of him untouched.

"O-Oh my...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rush began laughing his head off, reverting back to normal.

Ebony giggled herself at the fact he was actually pushed into fear, something she had never seen before.

As she laughed, she began slowly falling to the ground, forgetting that she could fly.

Seeing this, Rush jumped to catch her and fell to the ground. "Caught ya! You were so busy laughing that you forgot to fly. Anyways, I think--Eh?"

The whole environment seemed to have change without him noticing....

Ebony looked around as well, holding onto Rush by the shoulders once again. "What now?" she took a look around to see her environment.

They were suddenly in Green Hill Zone with older look-alikes of Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman waiting for them...

"Um, what the heck is going on?" Rush said while scratching his cheek nervously.

"She'll tell you." The older Tails told him, pointing to Ebony.

"Eh?" Rush says raising an eyebrow and turning his head to her, waiting for a possible explaination.

Ebony looked back to see if someone was behind her, then looked back to Tails. "M-me?" she said questionably.

Tails just chuckled at Ebony. "I'm just kidding...."

"Oh," she replied, blushing. "I was legitimately confused for a moment."

"Since you defeated the demon, this dimension will cease to exist so you should get out of here....As for us, we will be in the afterlife in your universe, Ebony." The older look-alike of Knuckles said, pointing to the blue ring.

Ebony looked back to Rush. "Don't you think we should help them?" she asked.

"Oh no, you don't seem to get the picture....We were already dead. But on our way to the afterlife, we got captured and transported over here in this dimension by that thing just like the others. Now that it is gone, however, we should be able travel to the afterlife, thanks to you two." The older Eggman look-alike explained to Ebony, repositioning his glasses.

At that moment, Tails spoke up with a serious look on his face as the three look alikes started to slowly disappear. "But get out of here, seriously. The moment we completely disappear is when this dimension will start to collapse on itself. Go NOW before you both end up caught in this whole thing." He then smiled at the two, waving his hand goodbye. "Don't worry, we literally will be over there soon...."

The sky started to flash white as the ground was shaking, starting to collapse in on itself. Rush then looked at Ebony, with a panicked expression on his face.

"Oh, CRAPBASKETS! Let's go outta here, Ebony!"

"We'll be safe here," Ebony stated. "Hold on to me."

"Oh. Okay!" Rush says beaming at Ebony as he hugged her like a teddy bear.

"She's so soft and cuddly..." He accidentally thought out loud.

"Oh?" she responded, looking up to Rush's eyes, blushing. That same feeling would be the only thing that Rush feels now, as if he is intangible to everything else but her.

"Uh....Did I say something?" Rush says while holding onto Ebony, blinking. He seemed to not notice that he accidentally said it out loud....

"You're cuddly as well," she laughed, playfully booping his nose.

Despite their feet seemingly on the ground (assuming it is still holding by now), Rush would notice that the shaking has stopped. Rather, he couldn't feel the ground at all, not even the air.

"Wait.....Oh." Rush saying with an expression of embarrassment. His face was then as red as a tomato. "Anyways, we should get out of here."

"We're already out," she noted, though it didn't appear as if they had moved at all.

"Oh..." Rush says scratching his cheek and looking around.

"I guess you want to know what I did to you, don't you?" She said, playfully poking his side.

"Yeah, pretty much...." Rush says nodding his head and paying attention to what she is about to say.

"We're pretty much in a higher dimension. Nothing can touch or see us, but we can touch them if we choose.... sometimes I used that to play around with people," she joked.

"Awesome. So, do we kiss now or......Wait, how do we get back to my universe though?" Rush says absentmindedly not really aware of what he just said.

Ebony instantly turned pink. "H-huh?...I uh.."

Rush then turned to her, a little concerned. "You okay? You turned pink again. Darn now I wish I could change colors.."

Ebony scratched her head as she began blushing. She shyly turned her head away, but a second later her eyes turned to look at him. "I... you... kiss?"

"EH?! Wait, I said that......Oh." Rush says mentally kicking himself in the face. "WHY DID I SAY THAT OUTLOUD?!"

Ebony awkwardly stood there for a moment, before unconsciously moving beside Rush, resting her head on the side of his chest. "I... maybe?" What-do-I-do-what-do-I-do-what-do-I-do?

"Let's head back to Emerald Forest first.....We can talk a-about i-it s-some m-more t-there..." Rush then silently looked at Ebony with a huge blush on his face. He really wished he hadn't made things so awkward for them both.

"Umm, yeah sure okay," she said quickly and shyly, holding Rush's hand to make him lead the way.

"Wait, which way do we go?" Rush said, looking around the empty white space.

"Oh, right, sorry," Ebony says, trying to calm down as she transported them into the Emerald Forest.

Chapter 2: More Sight-Seeing and Smores...
Emerald Forest - Southside area

5:35pm

"Welp, we're back! Sooo......A-About what I said earlier....Um.....I-I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Rush says, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. He then sat down and took out his bookbag from hammerspace.

"It's...it's alright," Ebony nodded, still pink, though it is now more closer to red.

"Oh yeah! Since we're in an open spot....How about we camp here?" Rush says looking at her with starry eyes, then starting to dig into his backpack...

"Sure sure... I've never gone camping before, to be honest."

"Really? Wow...Welp, I'm glad to be part of your first!" Rush says grinning at Ebony, standing up. "I'm going to get some firewood."

"Umm... okay. W-what should I do?"

"You can come with me, silly!" Rush says picking her up and placing her on his shoulders. He then walked south into the nearby woods.

Ebony giggled as she held on to Rush's head as gentle as possible, in order not to fall off. She began looking around for firewood.

Rush's conscious then starting to drift to an unknown part of his mind. It seemed that someone was there to speak to him.

(Hey, Death, just got an idea....Maybe you could add Ebony's sister into this?")

Ebony began to yawn. Being part cat, she wasn't the type to stay up for too long. She rested her head on Rush's as she lifted up some firewood with her telekinesis.

(like a history? Ebony's sister is kinda... erased.)

(Hmm....But you did say that she was reincarnated....Hmmm....*insert mischeivious smirk*)

(Yes I have.... .3. )

(0.0 OMG! THAT IS HAPPENING! Hey, question. You think Rush could have some sort of role too?)

(I could try to figure something out.. that plot twist was a tough one to think of)

(True, hey if you want we could do a blog on this topic later)

(a blog? seems rather big and exposing for a topic very few people will understand. Though I get what you are trying to say. I think )

(Let's get back to the RP then. I'll also be in chat. :D )

In his mindscape, there was....another him?

Ebony did not want to attempt to peer into Rush's thoughts, as she thought is was invasive of his privacy. She only gently held on to him with one arm while holding firewood in the other.

It seemed that Rush wouldn't mind her invasion, as long as she warned him of it.

In his mindscape...

"Hello, me?" Rush says looking at the clone of himself.

"Hello. Sit down, we need to talk..." the clone said materializing a desk and two chairs.

Ebony ended up falling asleep on Rush, her mental body unintentionally entering his head while her physical body took a nap.

"Ever since Super fused with you, there have been some renovations..." the clone explained to the original, repositioning his glasses.

"What renovations?" Rush asked, raising

"Well, for starters, your 'dark side' isn't exactly YOUR 'dark side' anymore. Rather, it instead feeds Super with power."

"How is that even possible?" "Remember, he said that extreme fear, anger, and stress are the catalyst for his manifestation. So, that means anytime those emotions that are present, it allows him to have more access to your mind and body."

"Oh, okay. So I have to try to not let those specific emotions take over too much?"

"Yes, because if you try to hold it in, it will eventually boil over. And you know what happened last time you tried..." the clone of Rush said narrowing his eyes at the original.

The original Rush flinched at those words. He didn't need to be reminded of what happened when his anger first boiled over and how he snapped back then.

Ebony had noticed this is Rush's mindscape, and ended up walking into view. "What's... going on?"

Both hegehogs turned to see Ebony there. "Huh, Ebony? Why are you here? HOW are you here?" The original Rush said, surprised at her appearance in his mindscape.

The cloned Rush with glasses repositioned his glasses, his eyes widening slightly. "Yes, an explaination on this occurance would be nice."

"I... think I fell asleep? Maybe I got a little too close to your soul when I did." Ebony seemed to be confused herself.

"That makes sense...Wait, too close to my soul as in, phase into me or something?" the original Rush asked Ebony.

"I guess so... It makes sense why it hasn't happened before, because I sleep alone..."

"Oh, yay! Now I want to sleep with you...To be used like a pillow...Or maybe a sleeping bag....or slillows." Rush says as he then looked up thoughtfully.

The clone of Rush then grumbled as he face-palmed at what his original just said...

Ebony blushed at this statement shyly looking away as she approached the two of them. "So.. what's going on? And why are there two of you?"

"Why there another me is here? For mental organizational purposes and meetings usually. Turns out, due to Super being fused with me, some renovations have been made..."

"Well, for starters, his 'dark side' isn't exactly HIS 'dark side' anymore. Rather, it instead feeds Super with power. In addition, he said that extreme fear, anger, and stress are the catalyst for his manifestation. So, that means anytime those emotions that are present, it allows him to have more access to my mind and body." the clone of Rush explained with an adamant expression towards Ebony, his glasses gleaming a little.

"I see... so... keep Rush happy, and all is well?"

"Pretty much....Welp, away with you two. I have paperwork to fill out."

The cloned then snapped his fingers, warping them out of his mindscape.

Ebony ended up waking up in the process. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep on Rush, so she looked around to see where she was now.

She was still on top on Rush, and he currently found a good place for firewood.

Ebony ended up slipping off, still having the nap hangover.

Rush looked to see her falling off and caught her with a mental sigh of relief. "Whew....That was close..."

Ebony looked into Rush's eyes, blushing. "T-thanks," she said, smiling at him.

"No problem, Ebony." Rush says blushing slightly and giving her a grin. He then puts her down to get some nearby logs for the fire.

Ebony plopped, practically sitting like a doll as she looked up at the night sky, admiring the moment.

Rush could be seen carry several logs and walking towards Ebony. "Okay, I think I have enough wood to last us all night." He then gestures to Ebony to follow him as he then thought, "I wonder what it would be like to have a kid."

Ebony stands up, looking up to Rush. "So what's next?" She thought, blushing a bit. I almost wish he would pick me up again...

"We go back and make a fire. And then, SMORES TIME BABY!" Rush said excitedly as he then began to walk towards the opening they were at earlier.

Ebony gladly skipped along beside Rush, ready to see what camping was like once it got started.

"Hmmm.....Hey, how would you feel if I had a little me running around?" Rush asks thoughtfully when they arrived at the area and put down the wood.

"...Eh?" she responded, confused by this from her point of view.

"You know, if we had a son or something..." Rush said again not aware of what he just said.

"...us... kids?" Ebony flustered light blue and pink at the same time. She was frozen stiff.

"Dang it, there I go again!" Rush mentally says kicking himself in the face for saying that. He turned to her with a noticeably HUGE blush on his face. It might have looked both hilarious and cute to Ebony. "Uh....Um......I......."

Ebony tries to hold in a giggle. She was now full on pink once again as she was blushing badly. Eventually she sighed, floated to Rush, and decided to hug him. "Maybe I'll tell you when we cross that bridge," she stated, enjoying his warmth.

"Oh thank goodness. Sorry, for bringing it up if that was too much." Rush says hugging Ebony back as he then went to his backpack to get out some chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmellows. He also had some things for setting up a tent and two sleeping bags.

Ebony, not knowing how to do this herself, sat and watched Rush do it... well moreso watch him period.

Rush then goes on to set up the tent after multiple and hilarious failed attempts of doing so. He then proceeds to rest the sleeping bags inside of it. Afterwards, he goes to his backpack, gets out a box of matches, and pulls out at least two matches to set the pile of wood on fire...

Ebony shifted her sitting position closer to Rush, watching the fire. "I'm sorry I'm proving to be completely useless right now... I wish I could do more."

"Hey, it's alright, seriously! If I can make you feel happy and comfortable on your first date, that's all that matters to me." Rush says with a grin, his purple eyes flashing with sincerety and care. He then decides to get out that item he had gotten from his house earlier in the day. It was a paperwieght glass diamond encased in a globe and it seemed to flash multiple colors...

"Wow," she said, astonished. "Where did you get that?"

"I kind of got while I was stuck in some dimension somewhere...It was weird." Rush says while looking up thoughtfully.

"Ah," she noted, staring at it for a moment before her eyes slowly began to make their way to Komerl's eyes.

"....." Rush glances at Ebony and has only one thought on his mind. "She is really something. It's kind of crazy that we met, what......Two months earlier? I'll make sure I don't screw up with this whole relationship thing. Kinda weird that I've been single my whole life but whatever."

(Hey, did you see my announcement in the forums?)

 (wait wut? no?)

Ebony smiles, shifting over even closer to Rush.

Rush smiles backs and then proceeds to shifts over to Ebony, his eyes glazing in a trance for some reason.

After a moment, Ebony ends up tilting her head up, leaning forward.

''"You know what, screw this. Time to get over the mental wall, Rush!" ''Rush thought as he kissed Ebony on  the lips passionately.

Ebony's fur turns rose pink as she let her body slack for Rush to pull her in closer.

He then pulls her closer as he sinks into the feelings of emotions in this kiss.

While she was pulled closer, it only made her want to kiss to last forever, blushing intensely.
