Midnight the Mercenary

"*Ten million on your head. I came to collect that money. Is this a bad time?*"

"*You were just the enemy of my enemy, Sonic. We were never friends."*

"*Edgy? Cute, it suits me more than perfectly. Next subject.*"

Midnight the Mercenary. Legendary Assassin. Son of a demigod. His bio is the story of trying to understand one's self through an initially wrong path.

### Occupation

Thief, Vigilante, Mercenary, Assassin (Formerly)

### Family

Sarah Conner (mother; deceased)

Gregory Wilson (father; deceased)

## Appearance

Anthony's quills are similar in style to Shadow's, and he has orange irises. As far as Midnight could remember, he's had a small chunk of his right ear missing for his entire life. He assumed this to be a minor birth defect. Midnight's hair is naturally a dark grey.

## History

In the process of making the fan fiction.

### Childhood

Anthony Wilson was born in a rather low tier life. He was picked on because of his messed up right ear as a child. His parents were forced to make money on the streets, both legally and illegally but they decided to persevere. Life was tough, but Anthony loved it, because his parents were caring for him throughout all of this.

Once Anthony reached age ten, he watched his parents get shot and killed in front of him. Whatever the reason was, the scene that happened prior to this implies that their parents have gotten into illegal work that had taken a wrong turn. It was dark in the house, and all that Anthony saw of the killer was a dark blue fur color, and even that is up to mystery, as he only saw the killer from the flash of the gunshots. This person then charged and kidnapped Anthony at blinding speeds, instantly knocking Anthony out.

When he awoken, Anthony was trapped in a cell with hundreds of other orphaned children, scared of their lives. Each couple of weeks, a new child was dragged out, to be tested with a enhancement experiment that can allow the user to tap into their meta DNA, something all Mobians have that allows them to have special abilities. However, no child had came back, and according to most kids, it was because they all died in the long painful process. At age 16, Anthony was next. He was dragged in, tortured to be weakened, then after a few weeks, set him up in the chamber to be tested.

The experiment had worked, but unlike the other test subjects from before, Anthony was filled with immense amounts of chaos energy, and broke out of the chamber, which was meant to survive missile attacks. Furious, Anthony slaughtered everyone in his path to escape, then when tossing someone out of his way, that person landed on large missiles with enough force to knock one down, into francium, exposing the francium to air, and blowing up the missile along with the rest of the dozen. The resulting damage almost destroyed the entire building... and Anthony came out hurt pretty badly but still tough enough to stand. He went back to save the kids, who were safe from the blast having being locked up underground, only to be betrayed by many the moment he released them. These were the only people he cared about, and now, Anthony had no one to care for but himself.

### Anti-Hero

Anthony had learned dozens of martial arts at faster speeds, due to the experiment increasing his mind processing speeds, and he decided to find the person who killed his parents and learn why before killing them himself. He raided a gang operation, which turned out to be the Omega Organization, with tons of old metal, and decided to learn how to make his own technology. Soon, Anthony had his own sword, a gun, and armor. However, being one with the power of Chaos, these equipment increased to tremendous power, making Anthony the powerful assassin he was by age 20. He used this gained power as a way to make money, becoming the most feared assassin, Midnight.

The gang had eventually found the thief they were looking for, and attacked what used to be Midnight's base. Due to being an amateur at the time, Midnight was caught and kidnapped. When he had awoken, he was tortured for information on their weapons. Midnight was left in there, tied and handcuffed to a bolted down chair, for nearly a week before he finally had the chance to escape. The members decided to cut off each and every one of Midnight's fingers until he spoke. A torturer came close enough for Midnight to strike, and he did, with surprise. He jumped up with enough force to break the chair out of its bolts, and used it as a weapon by spinning around. The torturer dropped his knife, and Midnight picked it up.

Then, it became a Chaos knife, sharp enough to cut through the metal chair and handcuffs. Midnight also found a gun and picked it off of the torturer. This became his Chaos Blaster. With this being more of a power gun than the rapid fire gun he had, it was able to break through walls, and he busted out of the building. With the enemies incoming, he ran to the rooftop and charged the blaster as he leaped off, and blasted the building with enough force that an entire floor was destroyed in the process. He landed with a few bruises due to tanking the explosion, and continued his training elsewhere, this time prepared for a base raid.

His name was eventually known in a lot of places as a vigilante for destroying a large portion of the Omega Organization, with some criticizing that it must have been a contract he was after. Midnight didn't care what the public thought. He only thought to do what it takes to complete his one life goal: to avenge his parents.

Eventually, Midnight has been taken notice that every time he gets hurt, he grows more resilient, stronger, and faster. This allowed him to slowly work up the assassination ranks of the Omega Organization.

### Midnight vs The Freedom Fighters

Time Skip 5 years into the future. Midnight, who was powerful enough to outlast exploding buildings, grew into one of the few people on Mobius that could easily threaten the planet.

Due to him having only the brief sight of the assassin at age 8 as evidence, it eventually made him think that Sonic was the enemy due to him having a similar look to the assassin, due to this verse taking place about a decade in the future. Midnight had decided to sneak up to take the jump onto Sonic.

After a surprise attack failed when the entire freedom fighter team was there, and he narrowly escaped, Midnight decided a plan B. By taking down Sonic's teammates, one by one, Midnight had planned to make Sonic suffer and come out of hiding, while slowly growing stronger from the battles he ends up in. Working his way up the ladder, he has defeated most of the Freedom Fighters, with the bonus of other people who were one of Sonic's allies.

### Midnight vs The Hedgehogs

In the encounter of Shadow, Midnight was unaware that Shadow had used the Chaos Emeralds, and ultimately had to fight Super Shadow. Midnight. During the fight, Midnight was able to survive Super Shadow's attacks, and his chaos absorption was unnoticeably sapping away at Shadow's super form. Eventually, Super Shadow began taking notice when Midnight's strikes began to hurt him, but he couldn't put two and two together, and it resulted in Shadow reverting to his normal form to be defeated. Midnight's growing durability wouldn't have been able to keep up with Super Shadow for long had the chaos energy not been sapped, but eventually Midnight's battle augmentation will prove otherwise.

At long last, Midnight gained the chance of fighting Sonic. They battled, at first Sonic fighting casually because Midnight was "too slow", then Midnight's anger momentarily accelerated the adaptation speed process, giving Sonic more than a challenge, and eventually overcoming the hedgehog. When Midnight put Sonic into a submissive position, he told Sonic this is what he gets for killing his parents and stealing his childhood. Sonic, confused, stated he never done this, he doesn't even know Midnight's parents. Midnight didn't believe, but he was distracted enough for Sonic to squirm free. After some cat and mouse chases, and with enough persuasion, Sonic had successfully convinced and tamed Midnight, resulting in the end of the fight. Midnight could've apologized for how he had acted, but was so furious that he still did not find his parent's killers that he ran off.

### Universal Army

With the help of the Dark Side clan, Midnight found out that the killer of his parents was sent by the leader of the Omega Organization, an individual known as Rohl Aeda, AKA Daemon.

Knowing that the Organization has become extremely powerful ever since their last great meeting, Midnight decided to attack the streets, interrogating as much people as possible to all hideouts of the gang. With enough information after a week's work, he began leaving anonymous tips of this, and the world began taking notice of the Omega Organization's plans.

Once the Omega Organization was lowered to a weakened state due to help from the entire planet, including the Freedom Fighters themselves, the Omega Organization began retreating to space, showing Midnight that their true base isn't even on the planet. Daemon didn't plan on letting Midnight live for this, and he summoned his second in command to eliminate him. Midnight went after Daemon without the Freedom Fighters knowing, and was glad to have been found when he lost to Anti-Chaos. As he was pummeled down by Anti-Chaos's absurd power, Anti-Chaos said he was surprised that Midnight was still alive, considering that he hit him with punches that could shake the zone. In the end, Anti-Chaos revealed that the experiments made people unleash their meta abilities only for Aeda to kill them and become stronger via power draining. He then stated that at this moment, Not only Midnight, not just this galaxy cluster, but the entire galaxy supercluster, meaning 100,000 other galaxies will be destroyed at the cost of Midnight's actions, and Midnight would be ground zero. Midnight leaped up towards Anti-Chaos, trying with all his strength to prevent this, and somehow he did. Midnight ended containing the explosion somehow, but at the cost of it, Midnight was hit with the full force of the blast himself, destroying the island he was on at the time as well. Midnight floated on the water, unconscious for a day. Thankfully, Anti-Chaos's attempt was thwarted via the Freedom Fighters themselves while Midnight was knocked out.

A few days later, Midnight returned to the Freedom Fighters, forcing himself to say thank you. However, he specifically told them that they are not his friends before leaving.

### A New Dawn

It was Midnight's birthday, something he didn't celebrate due to his solitary life. A young hedgehog known as Dawn was stalking Midnight while he was stalking another target. Once Midnight slammed the target against the wall aggressively, Dawn decided to take action, but Midnight dodged at the last second, claiming that he could see her soul before she ambushed him. Dawn ended up using her magic to teleport the man away, not knowing that the same person was an Omega Organization leader. Midnight and Dawn clashed, seemingly on par with each other for the most part, Midnight surprised that the strength of the little hedgehog matched his. However, due to Midnight's battle augmentation, he eventually overwhelmed her, and she started fighting ranged with magic attacks, luring Midnight away from the city. Once far enough, Dawn continued to question Midnight throughout the fight, but was eventually defeated when distracted from Midnight saying the two words, "avenge" and "parents" in the same sentence.

Midnight realized her pause, and resorted not to finish her off. He initially tried to help her out, thinking she was going through the same thing. Dawn told him that she knows a friend who went through this, and Midnight mentally sulked as he was proven wrong. As he got up to leave, he told her not to follow him, but she said that now that she has a mental connection to Midnight, he couldn't hide from her anyways. Midnight glanced back with anger in his eyes, warning her again to say away. She seemingly did.

Being able to breathe in space, Midnight occasionally teleports to the moon to think to himself. One incident doing so, Lord Daemon was here to give him the chance to join his side. However, before Daemon could say that, Midnight attacked... in vain. Within three hits, Midnight was put down, and Daemon went back on his decision and decided to kill him, but Dawn came at the last second to attempt to rescue him, angering the weak hedgehog. However, as Dawn's eyes glowed, her stats increased immensely, and gave Daemon a struggle due to him not only being much weaker at the time, but he lacked access to the Death Force to counter her Life Force magic. Daemon took an emergency exit after he was forced to bleed, something that normally doesn't happen. He opened a wormhole before exiting.

Midnight was conscious to see the whole thing, and realized that Dawn has the potential to kill Daemon, and wanted to surpass her hidden strength in order to get to Daemon and closer to his true target. He reluctantly asked Dawn to help him, and she had agreed because of the thrill she had from helping, claiming it was starting to dull where she lived.

### Mech and TECH

Time skip one year later, Midnight and Dawn were basically almost used to each other by now. They have taken the base of a factory due to Dawn buying it with her wealth from her art, and they occasionally trained there.

Needing to upgrade his equipment for inter-dimensional travel, Midnight decided to sneak into TECH headquarters and steal supplies. Dawn refused to let him do this, so he conceded to her. Eventually. he sneaked away while she was gone. The base was surprisingly more advanced than thought, because the jammers have hidden most of the hidden cameras and sensors. This resulted in Midnight running into Mech. The two dueled for a while, and they stalemated, not due to being on par in strength, but due to the extraordinary abilities that the cyborg had. Eventually, all of TECH began noticing this, and Midnight was forced to retreat. Midnight was able to escape the base, only to be confronted by Dawn because of this while she dealed with an actual problem on the planet.

As Dawn began to leave the base in frustration, Mech was at the door (having hunted Midnight down due to his cyborg eye), and was shocked to find out Dawn works with him, knowing the hero she is. However, his cybernetic ear allowed him to hear the conversation and know that it wasn't as it seemed. He decided to let them go off in peace if they have a talk with him about what is going on. After figuring it out, Mech ended up being interested in it, loving the fact of getting back to action after being inactive for a while. This eventually ended up with Midnight letting Mech join the group as well. While he said it grumpily, it wasn't that hard for him to agree to it as it normally was.

### Black Defender, Black Demon

After the identity of the Black Cat was almost revealed, the vigilante seemed to disappear off of Weybrook temporarily. A month later, the same cat sneaks into the base of what is known as the night crew, who was busy attempting to figure out if the purpose of the group was good or bad. Eventually, she was caught, not knowing of Midnight's chaos sights allowing him to see souls.

Szorra was apprehended due to her stealth not being well enough to elude them at the time. Once she told them who she was and that she was here to see if they could be trusted as heroes, Mech ended up asking her to join the Crew. Szorra laughed at that fact, but once realizing Mech was serious, everyone in the room was shocked. Mech then stated that Szorra being the Black Cat means she has dealt with various types of metas and can assist them in removing the presence of the Omega Organization.

During this little chat, this time Dawn had spotted something. That's when they ran into an assassin sent to kill the Night Crew. He called himself the Black Demon, and his wings have proven that fact. After a battle with a shadow teleporting bat, he was finally put down thanks to useful gadgets from Szorra. After this, Szorra said she would join the crew as a part time job before leaving.

### Unknown Enemy

After a heavy loss because of an error in planning, Midnight and Dawn were forced to retreat from a base that was being reestablished by the Omega Organization. It turns out they were looking for a chaos emerald on Mobius, and the Organization had to go incognito due to TECH group creating tachyon infantry, something far beyond their capabilities. An attack from an unknown source had taken out Dawn before Midnight could react, and he could not get to her over overwhelming amounts of gang members.

Midnight had tried to save Dawn later on, and ended up running into a mysterious character. All that could be known of the character was that he could change his fur and eye color at will, so hunting him down off of features was useless. There was the noticeable feature of the ring in the enemy's right ear, however. Fighting the character at first seemed futile, as the enemy was somehow immune to the chaos sights, and Midnight was nowhere near on par with his illusive acts. Eventually, the enemies threats of killing Dawn had got to Midnight, and his anger allowed his adaptation to increase by a large leap, putting the tide of this battle into a closer call. However, it seemed that this enemy had the same adaptation powers as Midnight, and the opponent still managed to surpass him. However, by mysterious reasons, the assailant ran off when finding out who Midnight really was when getting up close and personal to Midnight once defeating him.

Midnight went over to Dawn, only to find her in a coma. Midnight carried the body over to Mech, knowing the moment he brought Dawn to a hospital, her vengeance plan would be no more. Mech gladly helped, and asked afterwards if he could officially join the group, giving it the name, The Mobius Elite. Once Dawn awoken, she said something that put Midnight on jelly legs, then onto his knees. She said that this "Ghost" character may be the killer of Midnight's parents. The next day, Midnight spent his time training to perfect his newfound base power.

### Mobius Elite Assembles

A run into an electrical enemy terrorizing a city had caught the attention of Midnight and the Night Crew. The enemy was a very powerful enemy indeed, and he yet another Hitman sent after Midnight. The Crew attempted to take him on, but his skills and intelligence with electricity was too great. He was able to short circuit Mech, override Dawn's control of her body, penetrate the insulation defense of Szorra, then began using phasing attacks against Midnight, who couldn't battle something like that moving at his speed, despite his new amount of power.

Eventually, Summer appeared, and by her chat with the assailant, she knew him. They fought it out, Summer being outmatched after a while, and that was when Midnight struck with an EMP grenade while the enemy was distracted. This stunned him, and Summer finished him off. Summer apprehended him with some kind of hand cuff designed for him. She turned around and thanked Midnight for helping her, then decided to ask if he knew who Killriser was because of his power and the fact that he was saving Mobius at the moment. He replied by saying yes, then explaining that was the point of their group. Then Summer asked if she could join since she was hunting down Killriser as well, and Midnight's group agreed.

Midnight then decided this is the team needed to take down Daemon.

### The Mobius Elite Rises

Midnight and the Elite began asserting their power among Mobius, taking out the major threats across the planet. Remaining bases of the Omega Organization were found and taken over not only by the Elite, but the local governments and the Freedom Fighters.

The crew have been dubbed by the public as the Mobius Elite. Because of their fame, they have been properly greeted by the Freedom Fighters. While Sonic and his gang know that the past with Midnight was rough, they could see the he has changed for the better. They spent the rest of the day together, having a nice chat, until at one point around sunset, Midnight could speak to Sonic alone. It was there that he thanked Sonic for what the Freedom Fighters have done to help stop Killriser, but then he changed his mind and started over by thanking Sonic for helping him, and asking for his forgiveness. This was accepted, and once the Mobius Elite left, the two groups were in good terms.

### Divided we Fall

TBA

Making a choice whether to surrender to government or not leads to a small battle between the Mobius Elite crew.

### Mind Games

TBA

The Elite have to face a battle against their own thoughts. It reminds them what they are fighting for, for better or worse.

### A Celestial Battle

TBA

The war to take down TECH headquarters, where the Mobius Elite and the Freedom Fighters finally fought side by side.

### Demigod's Vengeance Part 1

Tomorrow was Dawn's birthday, and she asked Midnight if he had any gifts for her. He constantly told her that he won't say if he does or not, which pisses her off.

Not holding back this time, Killriser unleashed his entire force upon Mobius, and there were so much forces that it took the entire world of Mobius's government, the Mobius Elite, TECH Foundations, and the Freedom Fighters to fight them off. There were dozens of occasions where the planet could've been destroyed in the process. The Elite had split up, Mech and Summer taking the combat to space, Szorra being strategically powerful on the ground, and Midnight and Dawn went out to search for Killriser.

The war raged on for only ten hours, and already, the Omega Organization knew they were at a crippling loss. Killriser himself finally came towards the planet.

### Demigod's Vengeance Part 2

All that could be seen in the atmosphere was the big face of Killriser as he had grown several times the size of Mobius, but he was held back by Summer. Midnight grabbed onto a spacecraft as they headed for space, Dawn following.

During this, the two shot out the competition in the sky. They've helped out a ton by taken down over a hundred spacecraft, and then they saw Killriser shrinking and falling towards Earth. Dawn told Midnight that they should go after Killriser to help Summer. Dawn teleported away, and Midnight was about to as well.

Then, another plane was heading in Midnight's direction, and Midnight shot it down. Before the plane exploded, someone leaped out of the cockpit. The same guy Midnight had faced earlier, known as Ghost. The same guy who, according to Dawn, killed Midnight's parents. As he landed on the same spacecraft Midnight was on, they battled on the spacecraft. Eventually, they wrestled their way off of the jet, both having to survive atmospheric reentry before crashing into a skyscraper and falling from the 80th floor to the 4th floor.

### Dead to Rights

After surviving the fall, Midnight and Ghost continued clashing, both tired, but both still toe to toe. Ghost began attacking Midnight through his mind.

Ghost started revealing Midnight's true history. Midnight's name wasn't Anthony Wilson, Sarah Conner and Gregory Wilson were never his parents. He was adopted, only as a way to make money. Ghost even revealed that he was the father of Midnight.

Ghost began taking the upper hand. To keep him stunned, he kept revealing more of Midnight's true past. His real name wasn't Anthony Wilson, his real name was Ray Stryker. His right ear having a hole wasn't a birth defect, it was a ring in his ear as a child given by his mother to represent Midnight as the son of Ghost. Ghost even revealed that the only reason his chaos abilities are so powerful is because his mother is a chaos demigod.

Eventually after some more beatdown from Ghost, Midnight began getting back up on his feet, recovering from the shock.

At this point, Midnight began fighting back with much more power than ever before. This wasn't power out of rage, Midnight was perfectly calm. As he fought, he began stating that he was no longer fighting for *his* past, but for the future of *others*. It reached to a point in the battle where Midnight's fur became turning orange, where the chaos energy from his sword, his gun, and his armor began disappearing.

Midnight's sword, now back to a brittle form, shattered, and Midnight used fists to bend and break the chaos sword of Ghost. Midnight proceeded to beat down Ghost with his fists. He stated that he now knows *clearly* what he is really fighting for, and he knows what he must do..

A few more punches sent Ghost out of the building, collapsing onto the ground. Midnight leaped onto Ghost's stomach, then remained over him as he curled up his fists, the chaos power charging in his hand, but then he decided against it. He merely decided to knock out Ghost and leave it at that. His goal was already completed.

Eventually, when the battle was done, Midnight brought the unconscious body to be shipped to a galactic prison by Summer. Summer took the body instantly and flew off, with Midnight seeing a quick flash of grief on Summer's face, and her not saying a word approved it. Midnight met up with Mech, who ultimately told him the hard truth. Killriser had escaped and killed Dawn.

### Final Arc: Epilogue

Dawn's funeral was held on her birthday.

Midnight was the one of the first people to the funeral of Dawn. The Freedom Fighters were there, the Elite were there, and the top leaders of TECH had joined as well. Midnight had a talk with the Freedom Fighters to apologize and thank them for their help. Then, a small chat with the Elite members made Midnight find out that because of Summer's inhibitor rings, she could've beaten Killriser when she had the chance. Summer even admitted to thinking about taking them off, but she hesitated, for unknown reasons. This caused a small argument, where Summer and Mech left before it got out of hand.

In the end, Midnight was the last one there. He told the workers to leave, as he would bury Dawn himself.Before burying her, he looked at her body once more. Then he took out something. It was a blue diamond, customly carved.

Eventually, Midnight closed the coffin, and began apathetically burying her. In his mind, he thought. *What now?* Those two words end up significantly affecting Midnight. He jammed the shovel in the ground, leaving... to who knows where.

The story of Midnight continues here.

## Personality

Midnight usually seriously tempered and impatient with other people. However, he is very patient on getting a mission done, and has waited out for an opening for years once before striking. His rash impulsive attitude is also boosted by the glare of his eye, seeming like he is looking into your soul. He seems calm walking around in public, and he's got a good point about it. When it takes cosmic level opponents to even give one a true challenge, who would waste their time trying to arrest that said person?

Midnight has almost never smiled in his life ever since the incident that had occurred. The first person to make him smile was because of the look of terror on his face right before Midnight chopped his head off... obviously, this was back when Midnight was an assassin.

Meeting his new allies have toned down his aggressiveness, however, to the point where he could be a dark kind of friendly. This also made his kill rate of opponents dropped 90%. When put on intense pain, it reminds him of the torture from his childhood, and will cause him to lash out on anyone and everyone in his path with much more power than before.

## Equipment

After the *Dead to Rights* Arc, these items are no longer useful, as he has not learned to put chaos energy into materials at that point.

### Chaos Sword

A sword that only maintains its powerful form when wielded by Midnight, else it would become a brittle steel blade. The sword has multiple holes in the middle to decrease its weight. When held by Midnight, the blade dazzles a rainbow color every now and then, but usually retains its platinum color. The sword is capable of piercing almost anything, including Midnight's own armor. The sword, when swung quickly and on command, will unleash chaos spears, similar to Shadow's. The amount of power this sword has is larger than the Chaos Blaster itself. The sword can absorb energy, such as energy beings and attacks. He can transfer this energy to his chaos spears, allowing even more powerful damage to be done.

### Chaos Armor

A suit of armor that may seem normal, but when used by Midnight it's as durable as Midnight himself, making his defense double. It's truly amazing ability is that if it were somehow pierced, it will slowly mend itself.

### Chaos Blaster

This is actually just a normal pistol, but, once again, is godly when wielded by Midnight. The blaster's "bullets" are energy blasts that will always remain much faster than Midnight, even if Midnight is travelling at his top speed. The blasts usually explode a very tiny radius on impact, so not useful for penetration. However, the blast is capable of hurting even powerful creatures such as the Time Eater at maximum power, though this will lead to a decrease in rate of fire.

### Chaos Cape

Initially created to help him hide at night, the chaos cape allowed him partial abilities of Chaos control. He can glide with expert maneuvering, teleport as far as he can see with a delay time of every half second, and he can slow down time up to 90%, making him able to move ten times faster.

### Backup wakizashi

Right under his broadsword is another sword he has in case the first one is unavailable. It is similar in abilities like the main sword, but it is shorter, quicker to swing, weaker, and lighter.

## Abilities

After the *Unknown Enemy* Arc on, Midnight has become incredibly stronger and faster. UE will be in bold right before stats of this updated version are put in.

After the *Dead to Rights* Arc, Midnight has reached his prime potential. DTR will be put in bold after the UE stats.

### Longevity

It is possible that he may be immortal. While he does seem to age with his hair, he is otherwise young.

### Strength

Midnight once had to assassinate an opponent who's power could destroy the planet with a finger tap, and he proved to be on par in strength with the target via fist clash. He held his own ground in a pushing contest with it as well. **UE** Midnight had ran into a lieutenant of the Omega Organization. This lieutenant has stated that he had the power to destroy the galaxy. Just using punches, Midnight easily overwhelmed and embarrassed this character. **DTR** Midnight's physical strength alone can now hurt universal beings.

### Speed

Midnight's greatest speed feat he has done was 10% the speed of light. **UE** Midnight's speed has now increased to 5 times the speed of light. **DTR** Midnight is now considered to be MFTL.

### Combat Speed

While he is nowhere near Sonic in a race, when fighting hand-to-hand against Sonic, even Sonic remarked how fast his attacks were. **UE** Midnight's combat speed has been increased to the point where Sonic does not act cocky in a spar, and takes it seriously. Midnight's attacks are so fast, there's is usually a blur of bright yellow light behind his attacks (like the blue light behind sonic has he runs fast). **DTR** Midnight now has the potential to blitz Sonic in a fight. His attack speed is obviously MFTL, and can warp reality in the process.

### Durability

This is his greatest asset. In base he has taken attacks from Super Shadow, and at his limit, survived an attack that had enough potential to almost completely wipe out the universe. He has grown to tolerate more pain ever since, and was able to temporarily distract Anti-Chaos, a foe that eats zones and drains Chaos power, *just* long enough for the Freedom Fighters to come and defeat him. **UE** Midnight can now tank blows from Daemon himself. **DTR** Midnight himself can handle his own against past Daemon if he had to.

### Reflexes

While fighting Sonic, Sonic complimented him, saying his reflexes are faster than his... almost...? However this isn't truly the case. Sonic was attacking him via distance strikes, giving Midnight plenty of time to focus. If Sonic stayed in close quarters the entire fight, he could've eventually overwhelm Midnight. **UE** This is no longer the case. **DTR** Midnight would no longer struggle to react to Sonic's speeds.

### Chaos Sights

Midnight can see the soul of enemies. This means it doesn't matter if you hide behind a thick wall, invisible, or even with no body, you are always in his sights if you have a soul, or if you have a magical block to it. "You can run but you can't hide."

### Chaos Extra Senses

His quills spike up whenever a threat is upon him, and when meditating, can sense the movement of the air itself in a radius of thirty feet. Meditating during this will make him float, as well as the dust around him. Midnight's embodiment with Chaos can allow him to sense strong chaotic energy. This allows him to find the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald easier, as well as chaos users.

### Chaos Absorption

The main reason that Midnight has a chance against super forms, despite their enhanced stats and invulnerability. Every time Midnight is hit with a chaos attack, he absorbs a small part of it. When super forms hit Midnight, or vice versa, Midnight steals a small part of their chaos power. This way, after a numerous amount of contact, Midnight can sap enough energy from his foe to remove their super form.

### Adaptive Power Level

Midnight's stats slowly increases the more damage he takes. When reaching a critical condition and recovering from it, Midnight can become up to 10 times as strong as before instantly, such as the time when he almost died from Anti-Chaos's final attack.

### Attack Adaptability

When taking damage, Midnight is able to adapt to an opponent in relatively short amounts of time. Electricity attacks make him more insulant, pyrokinesis makes him more flame resistant, Darkness attacks will eventually fail to consume him, etc. It also allows him to slowly remove his disadvantage if he is in unfavorable environments.

When angry (not *serious*, there is a huge difference), this speed can noticeably increase, like the time it had improved Midnight's stats by 50 throughout the battle with Ghost.

### Regeneration

This is relatively slow, taking thirty minutes to heal from a large sword piercing. **UE** Midnight's regeneration doubles in speed, a laser shooting a 2 cm hole in Midnight's arm slowed him, but it was healed within three minutes. **DTR** Midnight's regeneration has tripled in speed.

### Weapons Proficiency

Few people have ever rivaled him in the speed that they can swing their swords, slicing a billion times a second, or the accuracy of their aim with guns, gunning down targets a centimeter long from 1/2 a mile away. Midnight is also skilled with escrima sticks, nun-chucks, maces, axes, archer bow, and bo-staffs, as shown when he was weakened to the point where he had to fight Szorra hand to hand.

### Martial Arts Professional

Over the course of training with multiple martial arts, Midnight has grown to the point where at the time Szorra disabled his chaos connection to powers, Midnight was strong and skilled enough to be able to dominate her in close quarters (granted he used the environment to his advantage, as well as used makeshift staffs and escrimas).

### Master Tactician

Midnight has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, being prepared for anything. His IQ of 165 shows that his strategies are usually well made with good planning.

### Chaos Energy

Midnight's chaos abilities are due to the amount of chaos energy within him. Being the son of a chaos demigod, he has a fuel supply that is nigh infinite. Should he be low on energy, it can automatically resupply itself over time. While he can be temporarily removed from this source, it can never be truly removed from Midnight, due to him gaining it from a different source.

## Flaws

His regeneration hurts him in the process as nerve cells are remade. This is no longer a factor after the *Dead to Rights* Arc.

His cape may slow down time, but his reaction speed is not increased. If the cape is heavily damaged, the time ability can be lowered, and he will lost the ability to glide.

His love for a good fight may make him, at some times, allow the enemy to become stronger if he/she can.

Early in his career, when thinking he had found his parent's assailant, his judgement gets clouded very easily, leading him to make constant wrong decisions despite his intellect.

Midnight's powers are in the end due to his chaos potential. Taking damage also wastes his chaos potential, and enough chaos energy taken from him will weaken him.

Attack Adaptability is temporary. Once the adrenaline wears out, the adaptations become reset. The only way it can stay permanent is if the strikes were critical to Midnight's health, which of course is a threat itself.

## Relationships

### Dawn

Ever since having a proper meeting with her, Midnight brought her along with him to complete their life goal. While he considers her an acquaintance, Midnight's rough and evil personality has greatly toned down around her. He has resorted to killing only if necessary, and trying not to harm enemies more than usual. With even more time spent with her, Midnight began smiling more. Dawn was the second person to make him smile, but the first to make him smile for a good reason. He began showing his emotions even more than before. Ever since the rage from him trying to save Dawn from kidnap, it was revealed that he actually does care for her safety.

### Mech

Midnight does not like how the "kid" acts, but respects him nonetheless. He is jealous of the wealth and intelligence that Mech has, and will occasionally act as a dictator around him. He respects the amount of training that Mech gets, and will train him whenever they both get the time. Every now and then, Midnight will treat him as a little brother and playfully annoy him, knowing Mech will not attack back since Midnight had learned his combat from the previous fight.

### Szorra

A great ally and member of the Elite, but socially, they aren't that close, despite their personalities being similar.

### Summer

Midnight initially didn't take her seriously, but now thinks of her as a reliable member of the team. This had changed into Midnight hating her in the epilogue arc due to her not killing Killriser when he had the chance.

## Roleplay Edition Midnight

Chaos senses in this edition are made by an eyepatch instead of Midnight's own eyes.

### History

#### Welcome to the Ether Forest

Midnight had entered this forest in search of a chaos emerald.

### Abilities

Midnight's abilities will fluctuate depending on the roleplay, but all versions are nerfed in some way.

#### Welcome to the Ether Forest

Midnight's maximum potential has been heavily nerfed due to his outfit containing inhibitor rings. He does not know that it inhibits his power, however. His reaction time peaks at the speed of light, his strength so far isn't shown to be much as he was slightly pushed back by catching Komerl. His durability is heavily nerfed, where he could survive a portion of a small mountain being destroyed, though he was punched an unprecedented amount of times before flying into the mountain.

Recently when drinking a potion from Io the Cat, the potion granted him telepathy. For the moment, he has no clue how to turn it off.

### Personality

Midnight's personality is light enough for him to make more friends than he normally would, as in his canon version, he has been through too much to enjoy friendship as he does now. He regrets decisions he makes more often, and will go out of his way to help people much more often. His attack style is based more on teleportation, unlike his canon self, which enjoys a straight up hand-to-hand and swordsmanship.

### Relationships

#### Komerl

Midnight has met Komerl in the Ether forest. During this time, Komerl had immediately teleported Midnight to another location to talk, but it caught Midnight by surprise. The two battled for a while because of the confusion, but *somewhat* unaware to Komerl at first, Midnight toyed with him. Once Komerl thought he had won, Midnight appeared to him and resolved their dispute with a small chat.
