Dark Enerjak (Burpy's Dream)

You may be looking for his Prime Zone counterpart
Dark Enerjak, known simply as Enerjak to the characters, is an alternate version of Enerjak from the Prime Zone. He serves as the main antagonist of the War of Darkness arc, the standalone story Secrets of the Dark World, and the Fallen Worlds story End of the Dark World
Compared to his Prime Zone counterpart, he is far darker and crueler, taking a great deal more pleasure out of threatening and harming his enemies, and appears to act out of active sadism toward them. As of End of the Dark World, he is no longer a threat, having been defeated by the warriors. What remains of his armor has been stored away by the warriors of the Prime Zone
==Appearance==
Enerjak retains his appearance from the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comics released in the US.
==Personality==
Compared to his Prime Zone counterpart, Dark Enerjak is far darker and crueler in personality. Secure in his hold over his own Worlds, he grew astronomically arrogant, believing nothing could challenge him. He saw his enemies as little more than entertainment to him, and eventually grew bored of them
He was incredibly furious and bitter to lose his hold over Knuckles, but found great interest in the young warrior Boulder, particularly because of his powers(with which he began to relentlessly torment the young Lycanroc)
While ruling Dark Mobius, he regarded former friends with a degree of fondness, though this may simply be a show of sadism. This is particularly shown with Boulder; he "thanked" the warrior for "releasing" him, and further continued to regard the warrior with some degree fondness, but this may be to further torment the young Wolf Pokemon
==History==
=== Standalone Stories ===
==== Secrets of the Dark World ====
At some point in time, Chaos Knuckles started to go mad with his own power, and tried to forcibly reintegrate the Dark Legion into the rest of Echidna society. This caused tensions to explode between them, and later caused trouble with the warriors
As time went on, Knuckles slowly began to conquer the Four Worlds, and eventually fully took on the mantle of Enerjak, becoming a cruel, despotic ruler. Many of the inhabitants of the Worlds were reduced to Cores and used to build his army of "Prelates", robotic warriors that were completely under his control
Two teams of warriors formed to fight against him, the Freedom Fighters(led by Jani-Ca, Knuckles' daughter), and the Storm Fighters(led by Braveheart, Fox's son). He would later state he let them live as "entertainment". He found a special enjoyment out of tormenting Braveheart
Some 30 years after the events of the main series, Enerjak has an iron grip on the Four Worlds, and the two groups of survivors live in hiding, fighting the Prelates when they appear, while also searching for a way to bring him down. Where the Freedom Fighters seek to use the Sword of Acorns against him, the Storm Fighters sought to fight him directly
When a mysterious white-furred hedgehog arrived in Dark Mobius, Enerjak took a more direct approach to dealing with the warriors. He took an interest in the white hedgehog, named Silver, and proceeded to start a lengthy battle with him. This distracted him long enough for Jani-Ca to put an end to him, taking his power and using it to restore their Worlds
=== The War of Darkness ===
==== Battle in the Ruins ====
Dark Enerjak was not to be stopped, however. Finding himself in the Prime Zone, his Spirit attached to a young, recently evolved Dusk Lycanroc named Boulder, who displayed the power of foresight. Keeping his identity hidden, Enerjak began speaking to the young warrior, with no one else able to hear him
At the same time, Boulder began having strange visions, and dreadful nightmares. Enerjak's voice continued to taunt Boulder, even physically harming him in his dreams. It drove him to the point of becoming claustrophobic and suffering from panic attacks
He didn't do much during this story, being unable to much of anything while attached to the Lycanroc
==== Reign of Iron ====
Unrecognized by Boulder, Enerjak continued to whisper in the warrior's ears, remarking on various events that happen throughout the story. As this happens, Boulder's visions continue to escalate. Enerjak starts becoming more visible in them, and he tauntingly pressures Boulder to acknowledge who he is
At one point, as Boulder is struggling to recover from a particularly powerful vision in the Lake of Rings, an unknown shadow grabs Boulder's hind leg, keeping him from escaping. Because of this, Boulder passed out and nearly drowned
After this, Enerjak is mostly quiet, only occasionally commenting on events Boulder witnesses. Finally, when Boulder comes into contact with the Gossamer Clan's Web of Fate, he sees his most powerful vision yet, and sees the "shadow of evil" that the Bride of Long Reach warned him about. The shadow coalesces into something resembling Enerjak's frame, and pressed Boulder against the ground, trapping him(causing him to start seizing in the real world)
==== The Dusk Wolf ====
The prologue takes place from Enerjak's POV. He silently muses on how he went from ruling the Four Worlds of his own time to being trapped, attached to an inexperienced, naive Lycanroc warrior who is unwittingly on his way to release him
Driven by his visions, Boulder travels to Downunda with Dawn, with Enerjak occasionally commenting on the goings-on, but otherwise not saying much. He taunts Boulder, and drives the young Lycanroc to terror. During a particularly bad vision, Boulder sees Enerjak Prime, and dimly recognizes him in the shadowy being he's been seeing in his visions. But he still tries not to acknowledge him as Enerjak
On their way to the Mystic Ruins later, Boulder has a terrible nightmare. He dreams he is a Rockruff, alone in the forest, and Enerjak grabs him. It is noted that the sun is setting just in time to hide Enerjak's features, but his single, cybernetic eye is still visible, gleaming with menace. He taunts Boulder, remarking that he's not that impressed that the little Rockruff would become the Lycanroc he currently is

=== The Phantom War ===
==== The Great Search ====
Enerjak encounters the young warriors Pebble, Rex, and Streak, and the young Rockruff Hope in Red Gate City. He interrupted Pebble's argument with a young wolf named Ash. Enerjak trapped the group with a squadron of Prelates. Hope and Vernon escape, but Pebble and the others are captured, and Enerjak ominously remarks about sending Pebble back to the warriors "with a warning"
However, he's stopped by the intervention of a Zeraora who later introduces himself as Zero. Enerjak later finds the group in the Mystic Ruins after Pebble visited Mudd's old cave. Pebble narrowly escaped him, but suffered a sprained paw
Later, Enerjak tracked the group to Grand Metropolis, where they were narrowly saved by the Resistance still living in the area. Enerjak's forces disappeared after this attack, with their whereabouts unknown for the time being
==== Return of the Dark World ====
Enerjak made one last attempt to crush the warriors. He successfully conquered the Base, but for reasons yet unknown, only Fox had his Core taken from him. He remained at the Storming Base after, waiting for the warriors to come and attempt to rescue their home, which they did with help from Razorjaw and Braveheart
Enerjak made quick work of dispatching the warriors, even the massive Razorjaw. He trapped Boulder and grabbed Pebble, but was forced to drop him when Sunny interfered. When the warriors rushed him again, Enerjak once more made quick work of them, even using one half of Braveheart's broken staff to stab him, the broken end of a sword to do the same to Austin, and also use the jagged hilt end to slash Crunch's chest
Fox's Core was suddenly restored to his body, and given his Fire Fox form. With that, Fox battled Enerjak again, and this time, they both vanished. It would later be revealed they wound up in the Fallen Worlds timeline, before they were sent back. Enerjak had been defeated for good, and Fox died of his injuries
=== The Fallen Worlds ===
==== End of the Dark World ====
Enerjak serves as the main antagonist for the last time in this series. Trapped in the Fallen Worlds timeline by Arceus' powers, he fights the remaining Storm Fighters, who had just defeated Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline, and were already exhausted, injured, and grieving
Intrigued by everything, Enerjak confronts Boulder and Kitsunami, brutally beating the Lycanroc within an inch of his life, and capturing both of them. He became intrigued after hearing Boulder talking to nothing-when really he was conversing with the Spirit of the deceased Dr. Starline. Later, Enerjak is lured to the waiting warriors after Boulder sets up a plan of how to stop him. With help from a mysterious blue heeler dog that was actually Dialga's Mobian form, Boulder and Fox battled Dark Enerjak
Boulder finally put an end to Dark Enerjak by making a connection with him, and sharing his past. Despite the struggle against a powerful, incredibly cruel being, Boulder managed to hold on, and stop him. Enerjak vanished, and the remains of his armor was sent back to the main timeline, where it was put into storage by the warriors there
==Powers==
Similarly to his Prime Zone counterpart, Dark Enerjak has virtually limitless power. He has been seen to be capable of flight, super-strength, and can lift entire buildings with his powers with little more than a thought. He is also invulnerable, to the point nothing can hurt him, and he can shrug off even a Z-Move with no issue
He was also able to remove people's "Cores", essentially their soul, and using it to make a Prelate, a robotic slave warrior completely under his control. Even after returning as a pure Spirit, Dark Enerjak was still able to summon Prelates he used before; how this is is currently unknown
== Abilities ==
Even without his powers, Enerjak was incredibly durable and strong. He was able to hold his own against several physically strong warriors, and even launched a Tyrantrum back with no issue. He was also shown to be physically strong enough to break a well-made sword in two with little problem, and broke Cutlass' sword on his metal claws over his fist
==Trivia==
Dark Enerjak is the author's favorite villain to write
Out of all the heroes he has fought, Dark Enerjak had the closest ties to Braveheart and Boulder, having taken a special interest in tormenting them both especially
Later appearances of Enerjak Prime in the series appear based off Dark Enerjak's personality, given how cruel and sadistic he is
