[Location: Central City- White House]
(POV: President)
There was a peach-skinned man with brown hair and blue eyes wearing a blue suit with a white shirt, a red tie with small white dots, and dark brown shoes. He was in his presidential office, and with a grim face, he heard the horrible news of a terrifying presence within the G.U.N Fortress as he was just now hearing of an experiment that was going on that he had initially thought was disallowed.
He didn't want another Hedgehog running around and refused to fund the project. He even passed laws against this specific study, yet a private part of the government still did the project behind his back. His worst fears arrived as he saw footage of a purple Hedgehog massacring all of the Infantry.
The first footage was how he toyed with thirty of the GUN soldiers and created a gory scene. And the final footage was as soon as he clasped his hands, everything turned dark purple, ending the footage and likely everyone in it.
This new Hedgehog, in his opinion, seemed worse than Shadow. He just woke up and decided to catch fade with everyone on-site...
The President couldn't help but sigh at the situation and immediately called in both Shadow and Rouge for a primary investigation.
*Beep*
*Well, now~ Isn't this surprising to hear you call me again, Mr. President* The first one to speak up was Rouge, who had a tight-fitting, dark purple bodysuit that exposed most of her chest. It featured a pink and white bodice-like garment, a white belt with a purple and pink heart-shaped buckle around the waist, white gloves with thick pink cuffs, and dark purple boots with thick pink cuffs like her gloves on the Monitor in the Oval Office. Shadow was next to appear on the call.
*What is it now, President?* Rouge, who heard Shadow's voice, was surprised and said to the President.
*Wow!! You called the both of us on one line?!?! What kind of matter are you calling us for now??* Rouge rightfully said, as this only happened a couple of times and they were pretty dangerous missions.
The President covered his face in stress and uncovered them to talk, "I have a mission for the both of you.
And you, Shadow. You should know the place extremely well, which is about GUN Fortress. There was a project that I thought I had already shut down ever since the aftermath of [Project Shadow]. But I guess a small part of the government kept going with a new project, which was called [Project Savior-Ω].
This project was supposedly a creation of a biological weapon similar to you, Shadow... But instead of being deemed as the Ultimate lifeform, its design is more akin to a weapon or spearhead of humanity...
But whatever part of the government allowed this project to go on created something horrifying by accident. Your mission is to go to the base and get more information on that thing. And Rouge, Shadow, try not to die on this mission... I'll send you two extra information on the subject within the base." Both of the operatives fell silent. They had never seen the President this hollowed out when talking. Shadow replied to the President.
*Sigh... We'll get started with the mission to GUN Fortress, President.* Shadow then hung up, leaving with just Rouge, who spoke confidently.
*Don't you worry, Mr. President~ I assure you that we'll succeed!!* And then she hung up, leaving the shell-shocked President staring at the ceiling as he watched a bunch of soldiers die a painful death.
"....... I still can't get that video out of my head...." Witnessing all of that had made him want to drink at this point.

(3rd POV: Indra Brahma Tattvas)
'Now that I think about it. I should start looking for some shoes and gloves.' When he thought about the fact he was running without any shoes, he came to a stop with that realization, but then had an idea.
'oh?!?! Wait a minute!!! Maybe I should try creating a pair of shoes.' He imagined a pair of Nike Black Air forces on his feet with the use of his dimensional energy that was just established a little while ago, and for gloves were purple fingerless gloves.
"Ok... Neet... Now I could keep running to the upper floors." Indra then ran to destroy the machinery on his way to find the researchers.
Indra found a door sealed shut but destroyed it, creating a hole through the door. He landed in front of what looked like a group of mechas, which he recognized as Giga Troopers, Big Foot Type As, and Big Foot Type Bs, from the memories of the souls of the foot soldiers that surrounded him.
Indra stomped his foot to the ground, and an earthquake formed around the radius of the mecha's around him, causing Indra to disappear as a streak of purple light. His body spun at supernatural speeds as he broke all of the machinery one by one, turning them all to rubble.
After he had decimated them, Indra sniffed the air and realized that he was closing in on the other researchers in hiding. He was just about done playing games as electricity was forming around Indra.
"You know what? I think it should be about time to wrap up this little game before I find what energy is producing this Fortress. It feels like chaos, but artificial." And like a hellhound in pursuit, he turned himself into a ball and moved through each room, ignoring all of the machinery, and those that got in the way were atomized by directly touching the spinning wheel.
The closer he got to the researchers, the closer he got to that fake chaos energy, and Indra began to add two to two and smiled at the researcher's flexibility in planning.
'So, that's their game, huh? They were going to wait till I reached their targeted destination to use that artificial energy as a final last stand... Admirable, even the souls I'd already taken were admirable enough, as even without much information, those souls still walked in as ready as they could toward an unknown target...' Indra thought, this world does have quite a bit of an indomitable human spirit, making his grin bigger while spinning toward the researchers... And yet, the more he thought about it.
'Wasn't I originally human also? Hm... Welp, I lost that a long time ago, except for the emotions, which isn't much of a problem... I am who I am, and I am what I'll always be. And I'll enjoy the moment of now.' Indra's speed increased and destroyed the gate where the reactor was at.
And there it was, a newly rebuilt eclipse cannon by that half-clone of Robotnik.

(General POV)
The researchers were nervously waiting till the demented Hedgehog had appeared at the front gate so that their last resort, [Eclipse Cannon], could be used at full power with the use of the backup power from the artificial Chaos emeralds in store.
For them, it felt like a long wait of hide-and-seek, as all of the researchers were afraid. That was why it was easy for Indra to find them, as their smell of fear was a signal to him.
Loud thumping sounds were heard from away from the gate, like a train moving toward its destination. The researcher, who was second in command after Henry, had his hand on the button while he was nervously waiting for the monster to break through into this part of the reactor.
Then, a sound of crashing was heard as the Savior broke through the gate. He pressed the button as fast as he could and fired a blast that destroyed the building like a nuclear fallout, creating a cataclysmic Earthquake that left behind a massive hole from the underground base to the outside world.
The Head researcher who pressed the button felt relief as the creature was gone.....

A purple-like hand slowly wrapped around the researcher's neck like a noose when he was given a break, sounds of chuckling can be heard.
"Bravo, fellow researcher!! Well done!! You caused all of that destruction to end your little experiment!! I couldn't have done any better in that compartment..." The Hedgehog looked around at the scientists, frozen by fear, counting how many there were.
"Huh? There's a lot more than I initially counted!! Well then, your souls are mine now." Those words made the other scientists run as fast as they could, but they were all done as soon as The purple monster opened its mouth wide, causing them all to drop dead as their souls were being drained. A total of 125 scientists had their souls drained away, leaving the head researcher still struggling in this demon's hand.
"Now it's just me and you... I'll absorb your soul differently." The claws from the Hedgehog dug deep into the back of the researcher's neck. The pain caused him to reel back and gurgle madly as he struggled.
*GAKTTIKNRFJJAHH*
The screams immediately stopped as his gold-like color of light drained away into Indra's fingertips, and with time, his struggle began to weaken as his body became a hollowed husk like the others who came before him.

(3rd POV Indra Brahma Tattvas)
Indra felt changes in his body's composition with the souls he absorbed but didn't even try to let go of the researcher.
He held on to the husk of a body as he sensed two individuals, one of them being this body's kin. So Indra yelled out as he turned in the direction of the said individuals.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here more visitors to join the party hm? Why don't you come out and play." This time, Indra had found a few more people. He wondered if he should kill them or not, as he had already eaten enough for now, and these two individuals might probably bring more entertainment while alive.

(A/n: All of the souls eaten aren't really dead but are trapped in limbo. Or in a constant comatose or locked-in syndrome.)
