Alf Wamaritan

Art by SegaSteven

**Alf Wamaritan** was the transformed state of the Time Eater created and operated by Erazor Djinn in *What If Sonic Never Lost The Werehog Form?*. It was Erazor's means of commandeering the Time Eater's abilities in hopes of using them to conquer the multiverse, but was ultimately destroyed by the Modern and Classic Super Werehogs.

## Personality

Erazor Djinn's personality is carried over to Alf Wamaritan on via his possession. Already beholden to a superiority complex, the power granted to Erazor via controlling Alf Wamaritan made him even more egotistical, but he was also shown to more frequently panic and act in desperation when his new body was challenged.

## History

### Sonic Generations Arc

In Part 5, after being apprehended by the Time Eater and subsequently learning of its origins and abilities, Erazor Djinn (as Alf Layla wa-Layla) sought to take command it for himself. By transforming into smoke, he infested the mechanized frame of the Time Eater and became one with its essence before reshaping its armour, creating the new vessel known as Alf Wamaritan. Sonic attempted to seal it inside the Magic Lamp using its second wish, but with his massively increased power, Alf Wamaritan was able to ignore the command and destroy the artifact for good, freeing Erazor from its binding.

Alf Wamaritan battled with Sonic and Classic Sonic in their base forms, easily repelling their attempts to get within striking distance and rendering the two incarnations of Tails unconscious along with Classic Sonic. This forced Modern Sonic to transform into the Darkspine Werehog, which gave him the strength to continue fighting at the cost of losing control. The two remaining combatants fought in mid-air, but now the Werehog had gained the advantage, severely injuring Wamaritan.

In desperation, he attacked using his razor swords, unable to land a hit on Darkspine but quietly preparing a contingency while his opponent was occupied. Using one of the Time Eater's portals, Alf Wamaritan warped one of his arms behind Darkspine and brought down his sword with enough force to 'dissect a comet'. Despite the attack's raw power and the sleight-of-hand in delivering it, Wamaritan's sword was caught and he fell prey to Darkspine's animate fire constructs, which painfully gnawed on his armour plating while their master stole the entire arm he'd been attacked with for himself. Alf Wamaritan was struck a vicious blow with his own weapon that shattered his mid-section, broke the protective outer shell surrounding Alf Layla wa-Layla's heart inside of him and grazed the heart itself, causing him immense pain. He slowed down time in a panic before unleashing a combined attack comprised of Alf Layla wa-Layla and the Time Eater's ultimate techniques: The Spirit Blast and Sun Burst. By removing Darkspine's ability to evade by manipulating time, he was forced to face it head on and was unable to contain its power.

With Darkspine defeated and reverting back into Sonic the Werehog, Alf Wamaritan reclaimed his stolen arm and prepared to use what remained of his power to execute Sonic and the others who'd resisted him. Amy Rose's voice signified the arrival of Sonic's allies, however, and the gathered heroes occupied Wamaritan's attention while Silver the Hedgehog used his telekinesis to provide Sonic and Classic Sonic with the five Chaos Emeralds they needed to complete the set. With his power mostly depleted, Alf Wamaritan could only offer a last deceleration of time and the crossing of his swords to defend against the combined attack of Modern and Classic Sonic - now in their Super Werehog forms. Their Super Helix Punch shattered through Wamaritan's swords and impacted his heart, destroying it and causing his entire body to break down and die. Alf Wamaritan's body collapsed into a wormhole which threatened to consume both Super Werehogs, but Classic Sonic was saved from this fate by Modern Sonic, leaving only him and the surviving Erazor Djinn to be caught up in the implosion and be banished to White Space.

## Powers and abilities

Alf Wamaritan was an immensely powerful monster, combining the physical strength of the mechanized Time Eater with the magic of Alf Layla wa-Layla. With his destructive power further enhanced by Erazor Djinn's razor swords, he was said to be capable of dissecting comets with physical strikes.

Besides his physical attributes, Alf Wamaritan displayed a mastery over magic and the manipulation of energy, time and space. He used fiery homing shots to assail the quartet of Sonics and Tailses, lit his razor swords on fire while fighting Darkspine Werehog and on multiple occasions displayed the ability to slow the flow of time to a crawl in order to gain the upper hand against an attacking opponent. Wamaritan also had access to the Time Eater's portal generation abilities and detachable limbs, which he used in conjunction with one-another to attempt a sneak attack on Darkspine Werehog during their battle. Finally, he was able to use Alf Layla wa-Layla's Spirit Blast, which requires the ability to manipulate the words making up the world of the Arabian Nights, showing that he still had command of the four World RIngs that transformed Erazor Djinn into his godlike form.

## Weaknesses

Alf Wamaritan had a key weak point in the form of Alf Layla wa-Layla's heart, which was embedded inside the core of the Time Eater. After the core was damaged by Darkspine Werehog, Alf Layla's heart could be targeted by the Super Helix Punch, which destroyed it and killed Alf Wamaritan.

## Trivia

* 'Alf Wamaritan' means 'a thousand times over' in Arabic, a combination of Alf Layla wa-Layla's name meaning 'one-thousand and one nights' and the concept of time.
* The Arabic text on Alf Wamaritan's chest plates translates roughly to 'Time Eater'.
* An in-development placeholder name for Alf Wamaritan was the **Erazor Eater**.
