Controlling the Darkness Within

Okay, people, this is my second fan fic and I got to say, it wasn't easy. But, nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!

Sonic and co. are owned by Sega, NOT ME. Unfortunately….

Chapter 1: The Darkness Emerges

Everything was silent in the mystic ruins; nothing was out of the ordinary. The green landscape swished along in the way the breeze blew. A few birds chirping and butterflies floating along made it more serene. Up at the rail tracks, a train stopped, making that sound when it breaks all of a sudden. Its doors hissed open, and there was the one and only blue blur, standing proudly over the area. He ran down the wooden stairs and headed towards a workshop with a twin tailed insignia on it. Beside the shop was a long stretch of ground that had palm trees on both sides.

Sonic was just going over to visit his pal, Tails, and see if he wanted to hang out. After an extremely rough day fighting for and protecting Station Square, all the cobalt blue hedgehog wanted to do was to have a relaxing day with his little brother.

The plants swayed as he passed them.

"Hey, Tails!" Sonic barged into the shop without knocking on the wooden (?) door. Little metal scraps of broken machines littered the floor. "You wouldn't believe the day I've had today-"

Tttttssssseeeerrrr!

"Whoa!" Sonic ducked just in time to avoid the red particle laser that was fired at him. Most of him managed to avoid it, but the tips of his quills and tail were fried. Sonic took this into account and gritted his teeth. "Grr. Tails!" He shouted angrily.

Tails stopped working on his laser as he heard the familiar voice. He turned around and removed his goggles as he saw Sonic.

"I didn't hear you come in, Sonic." Tails rushed over to him, happy to see his friend. But Tails's smile soon faded away as he noticed Sonic's angry face. "What's wrong, Sonic?"

"Grr. This is the final straw!" Sonic proceeded to get up off the floor. "First I had to put up with fighting Eggman and having him nearly win, and then I had to put up with Amy, and now this!" Sonic turned around and pointed to his quills and tail, letting Tails see the dark brownish black color on the tips of them. Some were even still smoking.

"Sorry, Son-"

"Sorry? Sorry!?" sonic quickly turned around to face Tails. "That's all you have to say when you almost fried me alive!?" He gritted his teeth some more.

Tails was getting seriously freaked out. He's never seen Sonic this angry before.

"Sonic…." Tails almost started to cry.

"I've had it with you and your inventions almost killing me! I already have Shadow doing that and I don't need someone else helping him!"

A dark aura then surrounded Sonic as he kneeled down. Tails backed away from his idol as the strengthened. He eventually tripped on a piece of one of his broken machines.

Sonic looked down and closed his eyes. His normal cobalt blue color suddenly changed into a much darker shade of blue. It covered his entire body besides his gloves and shoes. The presence around him strengthened once again as he lifted his head. He opened his eyes and they were totally white, no pupils or irises at all. He appeared to be looking at Tails.

Tails cringed in fear as he took in Sonic's wicked transformation. "S-Sonic…."

"Sorry, Tails, but Sonic isn't here right now, would you like to leave a message?" The dark hedgehog said menacingly.

"Just w-who are y-you?" Tails shivered in fear.

"Who am I? Who am I!? I am Dark Super Sonic!" His quills then flowed upwards, just like Super Sonic's. (Duh!) "Your friend, Sonic, is gone for the moment if I didn't make myself clear. He's such a wuss." He then began to approach Tails.

Tails stumbled as he tried to crawl away from the coming danger, but not before crapping himself. Dark Sonic broke into a loud laughter.

"Heh, thanks for the laugh." He pretended to wipe away a tear from his eye. "That was amusing. And, in case you are curious, the fear that revolves around you only makes me stronger."

"B-But h-h-how can you go super without the chaos emeralds?" The frightened kitsune managed to ask. Dark Super stopped walking.

"How? Well, first of all, I'm DarkSuper Sonic, not Super Sonic. Second of all, I think I have waited long enough in that hedgehog's body and I've grown stronger every time he collected a ring, went Golden Demon, or just simply bottled up his anger. I have saved enough power to go under this transformation, even without the emeralds." DSS (I will start to refer to him as DSS) then ran up and picked Tails off the ground. He clutched his hand around Tails's neck. He lifted up his other hand, formed a fist and prepared to give Tails one hell of a punch. "Now it's time for you to die."

DSS was just 2 inches away from Tails's head when something stopped him from attacking. Dark Sonic's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. He quickly dropped Tails and backed away, holding his head in pain.

"What?" Was all he managed to say before he reverted back to his normal blue colored, green eyed self.

Tails lifted his head and saw Sonic standing there, apparently afraid of something.

"I'm sorry, Tails." Sonic then ran out of Tails's place and out of the ruins. I'm sorry, everyone, especially to you Tails, but I can never come back now, I'm just putting you all in danger, Sonic thought, tears streaming down his muzzle and into the wind he left behind.

Meanwhile, Tails just sat there in the same place, awe-struck, and he said, "what the hell just happened?"
