Helllo everyone! I am back with another chapter of Darkened Dawn, as usual. Let's not dilly-dally and get on with it! To the reviews!

Capt: OH FUDGE THE DANG NO SWEARING THING! Ill fix it after this. We already talked about the rest of your review.

Aura: Sure...anyone could have...but you were first to volunteer to help her. Ooooo I would like some chicken soup please :3

Alex: YEAH BAD MEPHILES!

Glimpse: Things are most definitely going to heat up.

Tail: YOU AND YOUR LONG REVIEWS XD I had to reference it, it was impossible to resist. Someone is gonna get knocked I'll tell you that much.

BADA55: Duh, of course.

Dante: Yeah, he is gonna.

Flutterlikeanangel: Don't worry, that won't happen.

Newplayer100: Ah, I could have but this isn't normal of Gold. Like the chapter said, love does strange things to people. This is very different of Gold. It's the thing that love does to you. And yes, Unknown and Pinkie, the best humor characters in this story XD

I think we should get on with it, shall we?

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Gold, the Eon, the plot, etc. All OCs belong to their respectful owners.

Chapter 12: Darkness from the Heart

---

Glimpse and Twilight were sitting in a diner for lunch and having a friendly chat. The waiter came by their table.

"Hello, and welcome. May I take your orders?" the waiter asked them.

"I'll have a..." Glimpse was about to order a chili dog but realized that would kinda look bad in front of Twilight. "I'll just take a salad."

"I'll have the same." Twilight said and the waiter took off.

"Good thing we came here, I'm hungry." Glimpse said.

"We could have just ate at Tails's house instead of you spending money on a small meal here." Twilight said.

"Eh, it's something nice for a change. I have never really went to go get lunch like this before." Glimpse said, looking around the place.

"Really? Never?" Twilight said surprised.

"Never. I wasn't meant to be like this, out and about. I was made for the army." Glimpse said, recalling his past.

"Sorry to hear that." Twilight said.

"Yeah." he said plainly and the waiter came back with their salads.

They thanked the waiter and ate their food. Afterward, they stuck around for a bit to talk. Glimpse noticed a slight look of worry on Twilight's face.

"Something bothering you?" he asked.

"Worried about Gold..." she said.

"Yeah, that was a hard hit he took back at Tails's place." Glimpse said.

"No, no, not that. I'm worried about him finding out that we are here." Twilight said, looking around a bit.

"Why would you be worried about that?" Glimpse asked slightly confused.

"He worries a lot sometimes about everyone. And he could be thinking, something. Something bad." Twilight said worriedly.

"Oh, I see what you mean. He probably thinks I'm trying to date you." Glimpse realized.

"Yeah..."

"Look, I respect the guy and I respect you and what you two have. We gotta make him understand that." Glimpse explained.

"I know you do, it's just...I don't think Gold knows..."

Back with Gold...

Gold's heart quickened when he heard the voice around him. He knew exactly who it was and completely forgot what he was going to do.

"Get out here Mephiles!" he yelled to the air, turning rapidly so he couldn't be caught off guard.

"Why? I like it in the darkness." the sound of Mephiles's voice said in the air around him.

"Get out here and fight me!"

"You know Gold, I never knew you had that in you." the voice said again.

"Had what in me? Fear! Because I have none of that!" Gold yelled.

"No, I already knew you had that. I mean I feel Dark Eon in your personality for once. You are getting a bit jealous, aren't you?"

"I don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about!" Gold yelled again.

"Oh come now Gold, you know exactly what I'm talking about!" the voice rang around him.

Gold was silent because Mephiles was right, there was jealousy in him.

"Ah, Gold. I taught you not to love anything when I killed your father, yet you love someone again. Another that is just gonna get taken away."

"You leave her alone!"

"Oh, I don't need to touch her. That hedgehog already has that job of taking her from you." Mephiles said.

"He isn't going to take her from me!"

"You said it yourself Gold! He's just gonna take her from you and leave you in the dust! Don't just lie to me because you are scared of me!"

"I'm not scared of you! And he isn't going to take her from me, not while I'm around!"

"Oh how true! Not while you're around! You'll kill him trying to get her from him!"

The tension halted for a moment as Gold stayed silent.

"What do you mean kill him?" Gold said, not in a yelling tone.

"This is what I mean." Mephiles said coldly behind him, without him knowing.

Mephiles put his crystallized hand on Gold's shoulder making Gold quickly turn his head at his shoulder. He had no time to react however when Mephiles surged dark electricity into Gold. Gold yelled as he felt the darkness surge through him for several seconds until Mephiles threw Gold to the ground, with Gold landing on his hands. Gold felt different like something was strengthened in him.

"What...did you...do to...me..." Gold asked, trying to get used to the new feeling, still feeling the effects of the electricity.

"Oh nothing big, just amplified how Dark Eon affects your personality. You'll feel a little more cheaty, a little more dishonest, and oh yeah, a little more jealous." Mephiles said standing over him.

"What...the hell...do you...mean..."

"I don't know find out for yourself." Mephiles said and disappeared.

Gold could feel darkness rising up in him, thoughts, dark ones, running amok in his head. He tried to fend off the darkness and thoughts but something clicked in his head. He got up silently and looked around.

"Now it's time to go find that betraying bastard." Gold said darkly and ran off to find Twilight and Glimpse.

A little ways away from where Twilight and Glimpse are...

Aura was just taking a walk around town, exploring a bit. He had left Applejack back with Pinkie and Unknown, which was bad since now he was alone. All alone. That is until...

"Where do you think you are going alone?" someone said behind Aura.

Aura turned quickly around with an aura blast ready in his hand, thinking it was going to be Mephiles, and pointed it at the person who was behind him.

"Whoa, whoa, partner! It's just me!" Luckily for Aura, it was Applejack.

"Applejack! Were you following me?" Aura asked, putting his hand down.

"I saw you go off alone after going to Unknown's. You know you aren't supposed to be out alone. Also, Pinkie tried making me drink hot sauce, so I left." Applejack explained.

"I can handle myself alone." Aura said, turning around and crossing his arms.

"And what if you couldn't?"

"What do you mean..."

"I'm saying, what if you couldn't handle him? No one would be able to get help, now would they?" Applejack said.

Aura was silent after contemplating on that thought.

"Exactly. You are supposed to be watching me, and I watch you, sugar cube." Applejack said with a slight smile.

"Alright then, I'm sorry." Aura apologized.

"Also, I'm getting tired of eating apples, and I exactly don't have any money to get some grub..." Applejack said, and her stomach growled to approve this.

"Luckily, I got some money. There's a place we can grab a bite a little ways from here. I'll pay since you came out here alone to find me." Aura said, and walked with Applejack to get some food.

Back at the restaurant...

"Did that really happen?" Glimpse said, laughing at a story just said.

"Yes, it did! It was hilarious!" Twilight said, laughing too as she relived the story.

Just then, Gold stopped a few yards from the window and saw the two sitting there laughing.

"Hmph, seems like those two are bonding well. Probably talking about their marriage after they ditch me. Well, let's fix that, shall we?" Gold said with a dark look and brought up his hand and started charging Eon into it.

Glimpse and Twilight looked at the window at the perfect time to see Gold with his hand outstretched.

"Oh hey Glimpse! Gold's awake! And look he's waving at us!" Twilight said, waving back furiously.

Glimpse looked and started to wave slowly too, however, he was confused.

"See Glimpse? We had nothing to worry about. He looks fine with us!" Twilight said, still waving out the window.

Glimpse slowly stopped waving but kept his hand up.

"Uh, Twilight, you sure he's okay?" Glimpse asked.

"He looks fine! What are you so worried about?" Twilight answered with a question.

"He isn't exactly moving his hand..."

"Maybe that's just how he waves at people?"

Glimpse saw a sparkle of blue in Gold's hand and realized what was happening.

"Twilight, get down."

"What?"

"He isn't waving."

"What? I don't understand..."

The sparkle got bigger and blinked in Gold's hand.

"I SAID GET DOWN!" Glimpse jumped up and tackled Twilight to the ground as a blue beam made a huge hole in the restaurant.

Other people in the restaurant screamed and ran for their lives, either through the door or the newly made hole in the wall. Gold slowly walked up from the outside while Twilight and Glimpse were hiding in a booth on the side of the hole.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Twilight asked, looking around the corner.

Glimpse pulled her back from looking and looked at her, "That's called getting Gold pissed off. Stay here and don't move."

Glimpse popped out of the hiding spot and stood in the newly made hole.

"Gold, what the hell was that?" Glimpse yelled at Gold.

"That was called getting you away from her." Gold said darkly.

"You could have killed both of us!" Glimpse yelled again.

"Well that would still equal you being away from her, wouldn't it?" Gold said with a dark smirk.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

"Do you know what's wrong with me? YOU!" Gold yelled and shot a sphere of Eon at Glimpse.

The shot pushed Glimpse further into the restaurant, clutching his chest. Gold was still walking toward him.

"I'm not going to fight you!" Glimpse yelled.

"Oh good, killing you will be easy then."

Glimpse was taken aback at that. Gold could get mad if he wanted to, but to say he was going to kill him, that was not Gold. Glimpse put his hand up and Gold and prepared some chaos into it.

"Killing me isn't an option." Glimpse said.

"To me it is. Any means of getting you away from her." Gold said putting his hand up as well.

They glared at each other for a moment before both shooting at each other, causing an explosion in the middle. They both ran at each other and started a back and forth match of punches and dodges, moving at blinding speeds. This went on until Gold suddenly disappeared. Glimpse started to turn left and right to find him before he could attack. Suddenly, Gold reappeared right in front of him. But Gold didn't attack with a punch, but instead with a shard of glass. He swiped at Glimpse, slicing his arm, making him bleed. Glimpse flinched a tiny bit, but that was all Gold needed. Gold dropped the glass and punched him right in the face, making him fly out of the restaurant, through the window. Gold simply walked out the window while Glimpse was getting up. Gold shot Eon at him, causing his to end up on the ground again. Every time Glimpse would get up, Gold would just shoot him down. Glimpse was able to speak a bit in between.

"Using broken glass as a weapon. Dirty move if you ask me." Glimpse said, before getting shot down.

"I've said it before, anything to get you away from her." Gold said.

"Don't you realize you are scaring her by doing this? By killing me?" Glimpse said.

The darkened Gold took a moment to contemplate this but came back to normal and shot Glimpse down again.

"Don't think you can win me that easily! Look at you! She wouldn't even want to be with you!" Gold yelled.

"Neither with you! You are acting like a monster!" Glimpse said, getting hit again.

"I AM NOT! I'M DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR HER!" Gold said and went berserk and shot Glimpse multiple times, creating a smoke where he was.

The smoke cleared, and Glimpse was on the ground, getting up slower this time. As he was getting up, he felt an energy being pressed against his head.

"I think I've had enough of you. Now, tell Carly I said hello, would yeah?" Gold said darkly, about the release his blast.

"AURA BLAST CANNON!"

An aura beam came from the side of Gold, hitting him unexpectedly and engulfing him in it, thus saving Glimpse. Aura was at the end of the attack, showing some emotion after saving Glimpse. However, Gold jumped out of the beam into the air, wounded but still kicking.

"WHAT?" Aura gawked.

Gold shot Eon spheres at him like a multitude of missiles, hitting him and the area around him. Gold landed right in front of Aura, and put his foot on Aura's head.

"Now that wasn't too nice now was it? You can be the starting act then." Gold said and brought Eon into his hand.

"GOLD STOP!"

Gold turned around quickly with the Eon still his had, ready to blast who yelled. However, the blast was not released.

"GOLD, CUT THE JEALOUSY ACT RIGHT NOW!" it was Tails who had left his house after Gold had left, unfortunately not seeing the Mephiles scene.

Gold didn't fire because his good side actually kicked in and tried to counteract the dark side he was feeling right now.

"Tails, leave me alone now!" Gold snapped.

"I'm not leaving until you stop right now!" Tails yelled.

"GO AWAY TAILS!" Gold said, shooting Eon at Tails's feet, but Tails didn't react.

"Stop now! Glimpse isn't trying to take Twilight from you, and Aura is your friend!" Tails yelled.

"They are betrayers! Lies! Cheats! They deserve to die!" Gold said.

"NO THEY DON'T!" Tails yelled.

"I don't need to listen to you." Gold turned his back to Tails and back onto Aura. "As I was saying..."

"HEY!" Tails yelled, sounding closer.

"TAILS, I SAID GO-" Gold turned around and was met with a unexpected punch into his face, from surprisingly Tails.

Gold reeled back from the sudden punch, getting off of Aura's head. Lights were coming from everywhere, dizzied and dazed. He could still make out the figure of Tails who was approaching him.

"Tails?" Gold asked innocently.

Tails didn't listen and hit Gold again, making him black out suddenly.

---

BADASS TAILS, FOR THE WIN! Yeah, it may seem cheap that Tails could beat Gold and Glimpse and Aura couldn't, but the reason is because he had just met Glimpse and Aura. The "darkened" side of Gold didn't really care about them and the light side couldn't fight it off. Tails being someone Gold cares about, makes the good side kinda stand up for itself and say not to attack Tails. But still, Tails deserves to be a badass sometimes. If you have any questions or are confused, let me know. And how did Tails make Gold black out with only two punches. Let's just say, Gold has been training with Tails for a while now. Plus, TAILS IS A BADASS SOMETIMES!

Tails: HELL YEAH I AM!

Thank you all for reading and reviewing, leave a review please, and until next time,

EONNNNNNNNNNNN OUT!
