"Aiyah!" A female mobian was being dragged into a huge machine that seems to beep everytime a memory is input inside the machine. In other words, it is some sort of a brainwashing machine.

"No no! Don't make me one of them! Don't please!" She shrieked at the top of her voice but a finger was placed onto her lips, silencing her. "Sh... don't be scared. Once this is all over, you'll be happy with your new life." "I don't want to have a new life!! Besides, my life was okay!" She snapped angrily at him. "Are you sure? You did say 'was'... hehehe." The hedgehog who snared her smirked before throwing her into the machine. "Too bad. It would be the best offer on the docks." He then pushed some buttons before pulling down the switch, activating the machine. "NO!! No no no no! Let me out! Noooooo!!" The poor girl cried for help for another few minutes until it died down eventually.

"Impressive. You've done it again." The queen looked at the newly emerged female, her eyes glazed over. "I shall be at your service, mistress..." She droned and bowed to her. "Thank you, your Glorious one. After all, it is my job to be the tech genius, correct?" The ivory hedgehog smiled wickedly and placed a kiss on her hand. "Of course! I almost forgot." She giggled and patted his head. "Now, resume to your work, my dear." "Yes, miss Dollmaker." He bowed and dragged the slave to work before heading back to his own quarters. "Dear sister, how many Doll slaves have we created, torn apart and resewn before reviving?" Her companion asked her, hiding his dark green eyes under his black hood. "I don't know, big brother but... all the more, this is really enjoyable than being thrown as rats by Princess Acorn." "Speaking of her, maybe I should have that brat shriek first before the ebony torturer finishes her up." He brandished his knife, already stained with blood of his victins. Being a quick assassin and the maker's secondhand was easy for him. In addition, this was his desired job ever since he became from hero to zero then arise into a vengeful shadow of doubt of his former allies.

"Mm... I will dispatch you then for a little 'date' with her. But first,.could you give me a little peck please?" The leader made her best cute and innocent face, masking over her twisted childish one. The assassin looked over to her before smirking to himself and lifted her chin up to look at her features. Those eyes like the hottest fire in her soul bearing a giddy feeling, despite the terrible demeanor she harnessed for so long. "With pleasure, sweetie." He spoke before pressing his lips on hers into a heated kiss of undying passion. They never cared that they were only a brother and sister to themselves. Heck, they even threw away their morals years ago. Even though she made a lot of the male Dolls (and a few female ones) her suitors and sometimes slept with them, the number one would always be the assassin himself. Despite the twisted fate that they ended up themselves for vengeace against the other people, a speck of purity remains in them, giving them a foreboding connection that still stayed as tough as it was.

Letting go of the kiss, the dollmaker grinned at her partner. "Still as delectable as ever." The assassin smirked before picking up his equipment and walking down the steps below her glorious throne. "I'll meet you back before midnight. And maybe do something fun as well." He chuckled before dashing off. The dollmaker giggled impulsively before it became a snarky chuckle. "I'll bring some ropes in my quarters then." She crossed her legs and smirked to herself. "Now, who will be our next victim? I can't wait to 'play' him or her!" She laughed evilly and headed to her own room to do some work.

On the table next to her throne is a picture. There in it were their former selves. Seven hedgehogs, an echidna, a fox and a hawk.

My first draft about an AU where the heroes became neutral villains called the Karakuri Dolls, in which they were horribly abused and betrayed in the past and came back to put vengeance on foot.

Might contain gore, violence, sexual content if necessary, strong language, graphical content and some horror bits and pieces.

This was imagined after reading stuff on heroes being betrayed in many AUs.
