This was why Shadow was so determined to stop Mephiles.
Because he’s seen that behavior before
Let me bring this back for a hot sec, because I still stand by this and this is my hill.
On the one hand: KICK HIS ASS SHADOW
On the other: I am a HUGE sucker for “I was once like you, let me help you!” Trope and I would be a-okay if the attempt was at least made with Mephiles
I feel like it all was wasted potential for a narrative, to be honest. I mean…
Alright! So I’m currently writing an idea I had for years. Overall, it’s about Sonic and Shadow time travelling. I plan on developing their relationship throughout the story. Here’s a sort of “fancomic cover” I made. I’m still writing the very beginning of it all, so don’t expect comic pages anytime soon, haha! (I suck at making logos btw)
*In the Astral Plane, Bill Cipher is playing a classic song on a projected piano.
Bill Cipher:♫We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when…
But I'm sure we’ll meet again some sunny day!♫
Oooooh baby! This number we’ll be perfect for when me and Mr. Brainiac commute and share a drink for old times sake! But this time in the literal and physical flesh! Ahhahahahaha!
*After the rehearsal, giggling and slow clapping following his excitement can be heard from behind the dream demon.
???:Quite the endearingchoice of song!‘Course I’d expect no less from a cultured gentleman such as you.
*The voice from behind sounded familiar, but the tone and emotion from it was different. He peers around…
Bill Cipher: Eh? That you Mephy? You sound a little more ah… spunkier than usual?
???: Let’s just say I’ve gotten a new “Change of Face”.
*What’s applauding him from behind has the silhouette of a familiar preteen girl, one of eight annoying but powerful kids and the ruthless, malicious energy of recently made BFF.
*They approach closer toward him, Bill truly beholds what’s in front of him: A twisted, demonic fusion of the two.
*Their appearance is nearly identical to that of a small, classic vampire. Complexion so pale like ash in a fireplace. teeth and nails sharpened into black claws and fangs that could dig into your flesh. Her black hair became ratty and unkempt along with her scalp and tips bleached into an icy blue. Ears pointed like that of a vampire. Her pupil became slit shaped and irises a serpentine green, followed with blood red sclera. Her attire also changed from a bright yellow raincoat into a tattered purple cloak.
Bill:Whoa ho ho! Yowza! This certainly is a change! I love that fact you made that blueberry brat even more terrifying! But why change into her?
???:I didn’t change into her, I am her. She and I are one now. Why don’t call me.. Mephiline?
Bill:Mephiline?
Mephiline:Like Mephiles and Coraline mixed together.my conscience and her body have combined into what you see before you. Keep in mind, I’m very much Mephiles but as you may have noticed I’ve inherited a few of her “quirks”.
Bill: Interesting. But my question, is why bother? Our plan for total multi-universal calamity is so close to coming to it’s final act. So why body-snatch one of ‘em?
Mephiline: It’ll spice things up.
Bill:Oh?
Mephiline:Ok, so 1: we both know Coraline is the leader of that gang of misfits, and what do leaders do? They boost morale, they work out their own problems and they work in everyone’s best interests. But now that their stubborn and strong-willed leader is out of commission their hope in coming together to stop us have dwindled and making the stakes even higher.
2: I’m practically holding her body hostage and using as a meat shield and knowing them, they wouldn’t risk hurting a dear friend.
Lastly 3: Even if their Psychonaut friends were able to enter her mind and free her from my control, my conscience have completely altered her mindscape into catastrophic, black ocean which will only drag her and her friends back into my ruthless tides. Even now she’s still struggling to rise to surface to little avail as we sp- *Cough* Cough*.
* As she speaks, she suddenly coughs and hacks up some black fluid from her mouth which quickly begins seeps into the palm of her hand.
Mephiline:See? Annoying as it is, she’s not going anywhere, anytime soon. Hehehehehe!
Bill:Oh. My. God. As if you couldn’t be more wicked, insane and just downright evil! This is why you’re my BFF! Hahahahahah! So, what’s the plan in the meantime, Dark Coraline?
Mephiline:“I'll give them some time talk about their own issues and see if their resolve and loyalty towards each other is still intact with their leader suddenly missing. It they do, once they see me… their horror and despair will be amazing.
Bill Cipher: Okay! You do that, while I continue my own progress behind the scenes. See you at the apocalypse, bestie! Oh, and get something to soothe your throat while your at it!
*After their progress report has ended, Mephiline returns to the physical world, just outside the Mystery Shack. She gives off one disgusting smirk and walks away into the dark woods.
Mephiline:*Cough* Cough* Ack!*Clears throat* I wonder if that diner serves mango milkshakes...
(I deem Darcy and Collector Luz theory responsible for making me do a possession AU of my AU, but can’t blame myself for feeling inspired :D)
This AU is a result of Coraline unfortunately becoming possessed by Mephiles and merging into a demonic fusion of the two.
What happens next is Mephiles infiltrating her mind and transfiguring it into an endless sea of black gack.
Coraline desperately attempts to escape the sinking tides, but the water’s hold on her is too strong to break out. Eventually, She sinks as she loses any hope of escape and prays the other kids to not give up on stopping them and Bill, before closing her eyes.
With her conscious imprisoned, Mephiles then merges their dark presence with her body. Thus, creates a demonic fusion of the two.
This is Mephiline. Now, that the body of the leader of the Mystery Kids is their new vessel, they alongside Bill Cipher have an advantage on bringing the the Mystery Kids and Gravity Falls to their knees.
While merged with Coraline, they inherited some of her quirks as a result (like Darcy). That being adopting a more sassy and snarky personality and taking a liking to her favorite things (hence the mango milkshake).
As exciting as it is to see my ol’ boy finally make a playable appearance for the first time since 2016 in the defunct “Sonic Runners” (and his first time playable in 3D, and also, it’s like, Sonic 06’s 15th anniversary, so Happy Burfday to this absolute disaster with limbs)…
The total butchering of the pronunciation of his name is sending me, this is an official announcement and they didn’t even try to get his name right.
For those who don’t know, it’s pronounced “Meh-fuh-liss”
Anyway, y'all know it’s Sonic 06’s 15th Anniversary this year???
