"Sonic!" Tails cried as he ran from his lab in the Mystic Ruins. Sonic was napping in a tree, but slowly stirred when he heard Tails. "Sonic! I need your help!"
"Hm? Do you want me to test an Amy repellant?"
"What? No!"
"Oh well." Sonic turned and went back to sleep.
"Sonic, I'm serious! Chaos is on the loose!"
"What?" Sonic stumbled and fell out of the tree. He regained his balance instantly. "How did he get out?"
"Uh… go figure?"
"Well let's go! Where is he?"
"Over near my lab," Tails pointed to flat area next to his lab where water noises could be heard.
"Yahoo!" Sonic shouted. He dashed forward with tremendous speed,Tails right behind. Up ahead was what looked to be the god, Chaos, in its first form. The only thing different about it was that it had a mechanical head. "Now, let's get… Tails! This is an artificial Chaos!"
"Uh… Oh! So that's what it was?" Tails replied, innocently. "Well, um… destroy it. It's evil!"
"Okay…" Sonic said. He was confused about Tails' actions, but decided that destroying Chaos was for the best. He charged forward and tried to kick the head, but Chaos melted into a puddle. It quickly grew back into a body and spun in circles. As it spun, its arms stretched, creating the illusion that there were over a dozen arms at once.
Sonic jumped and ducked over a few arms, but was soon pummeled by the rest. He landed on his back, next to Tails.
"Wow, he's stronger than I had imagined!" Tails said.
"What was that?" Sonic asked, as he stood up.
"Uh, you have to destroy it!"
"How 'bout giving me a hand?"
"Well, uh, this is your kinda thing. I wouldn't want to interupt your fun," Tails smiled weakly.
"Oh. Well thanks, I guess." Sonic charged back into the fight. Chaos threw a punch with an extended arm, but Sonic leapt on top of it. He ran across, then tried a homing attack. Chaos was struck in the head, letting out a deafening cry. He melted into a puddle again, moved, then launched out. He struck Sonic, then became whole again. Sonic managed to stand his ground, then flung a powerful kick. Chaos took it and splashed into a puddle again. "Sheesh! Doesn't this guy do anything else?" Sonic asked. A wet arm suddenly sprung from the ground and punched the blue hedgehog, sending him into the air. Chaos flew up as well and punched Sonic back towards the ground. Sonic landed with a groan. Chaos made a strange, wet, roar sound, then fled. Tails helped Sonic up.
"This is worse than I thought," Tails said.
"Ugh. So, what really happened, Tails?" Sonic glared at his buddy.
"Ah, well," Tails let out a sigh. "I created it. It's called the artificial Chaos 2.0! Cool, huh?"
"Why'd you make it?" Sonic demanded.
"Um, because… I was bored, I guess."
"So it's out of control now?"
"Yup! But it's got some nice moves, huh?" Tails smiled. "It's way better than the ones that Gerald Robotnik created! It could even defeat the real Chaos!"
"C'mon, we've got to destroy it before it wreaks havoc."
"I can't destroy it," Tails said, as he focused on the floor.
"Why not?"
"Because it's my creation!"
"Tails!"
"Fine. I guess I'll fight it."
"Then let's go!" Sonic dashed off before Tails could argue anymore.
