Disclaimer: I do not own chao or anything sonic related. However, I do own some of the individual chao in this fic (some my friend Amanda owns) and the plot.

Dear Evil,

You know, I have no clue why I'm even bothering to write. I don't even know if you're still alive. I just feel like I have to. Maybe because we're so alike, or I could just want to write to my old idol. I don't know.

Remember the beginning? Back when everyone feared us? And you were our leader, my idol. I wanted to be just like you (or how I thought you were): Fearless, strong, pure evil, merciless, my idea of perfection. I looked up to you, even though you did call me "ice-cream head" sometimes.

Back then, the dark and hero chao were constantly at war. Neutral chao were virtually nonexistent. We liked it that way; we loved war. We didn't want to win, we just wanted to fight. The heroes wanted peace. It seemed so pathetic.

But then… You felt sympathy for that puny little hero chao named Bunnie. You tried to save her. And when you couldn't, you did what I never thought you would do. You cried.

I still don't know why. You had left many others to their deaths without a second thought. Even babies like her. Why was it Bunnie? Why her? I only know one thing.

That's when my whole world fell apart. You did the unthinkable. You signed a peace treaty with the heroes. Sizzer and the girl with horns left. Some say they went to Devil chao himself. You were kicked out of the dark chao garden, and I took your place as leader.

I can't say I didn't want to; it was my dream to lead the dark chao. And I can't say I wasn't happy, at least for a little while. I can't lie. But… it was already too late. We couldn't go back to war; we may be evil, but dark chao are no liars.

Soon, the neutral chao garden was created. Dark and hero chao live in peace there. Neutral chao are no longer rare, and they even have a neutral chaos chao. Dark chao even live in the hero chao garden, now.

But society in the dark chao garden stays the same. Neutrals, and defiantly heroes, are not allowed. We keep searching for a loophole in the peace treaty, but we have yet to find it.

I'm not the leader anymore, but it doesn't matter. I was never cut out for it, anyway. The new leaders name is Maye. She's cool and all, but she could never take your place. You're like a big brother to me.

I guess our dreams of being the world's greatest villains will never come true. There are others better than us. Hero chao can be evil, and dark chao can be good. Outside my underground home, it's a completely different world. Our worst nightmares have come true, Evil, we've been forgotten.

Sure, I still live in the dark chao garden. I wasn't kicked out like you. I was replaced by someone better than me. But I fear that if someone finds this letter, I'll be kicked out, too. That's why my message has to be cut short.

I'm sure grave will send this message to you using his magic skills. He's my only real friend, now. If he doesn't… then I guess I'll be seeing you soon. Or maybe I won't. I don't where you are, and I don't know what will happen to me. Dark chao are a lot more evil these days. That's why they're going to try to start a war, regardless of the peace treaty…

Chaos, what has this world come to?
