They told me there would be no side effects. To being a hero… they were wrong. There are side effects. Death, and sadness. That's all it is… isn't it?
Okay, you can't just focus on that Dude! What about family we've gained? Friends we've made. The Ridiculous things people have said? Isn't that important?
Like you care… faker.
REALLY? You sound like Shadz. Not that I haven't called him a faker back, but still…
Technically you were the one who came up with the nickname.
Eh, you make a pretty decent point…
Aghh...I need to stop making these conversations up in my head. If people could hear me they'd think I was crazy!
"Sonic! We're getting close to Eggman's flying base!" The blue hedgehog glanced to his brother in the cockpit, and sent a grin. "Way Past Cool! That was quick."
"Yeah, I know, his base was really close to the Mystic Ruins."
"Better the Ruins than Station Square."
The hero of mobius, turned to the base approaching in the distance. Another day of work was going to start. Aghh, I'm really stiff too. Sonic cracked his knuckles. Smiling wishing Knux was there. That guy hated this inside joke.
"Sonic, I'm going to fly around the base fast, and disable any weapons, you feel like jumping?"
"Dude, I've jumped out of planes so many times, it's as easy as breathing."
As the tornado neared the base, Sonic fell backwards. Showing off doing a flip, mid-air, and landing kneeling down. "Heh, simple as breathing… and," he stretched and a loud pop sounded out, "A great way to get those joints popped."
"OH REALLY!? It doesn't sound like you're enjoying that."
Barely jumping Sonic turned to the Doctor. In his eggmobile as usual. "Just because it hurts a little to pop your back doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. Besides, when's the last time you popped your back. A hundred years ago or so?"
"More like 50…"
"Shadz!? Whaddya doing here, you're not going to steal my thunder again."
"Why would I want to steal anything from you?" The sarcastic humor of the ultimate lifeform shown through.
"Oh, ha-ha, I assume you're not going to try and destroy the earth...again...for like the fourth time."
"Oh, no. I'm not working with Shadow, we've gone our separate ways. I'm assuming Shadow is here for the chaos emerald."
"Of course Eggman, is that true Shadz? You lookin' for your darn fourth one?"
"No… I'm here on official G.U.N. business, hedgehog."
"You know you're a hedgehog too right? Besides who pronounces GUN, separately that way anymore. Like seriously, it's just the word gun. Who cares what it stands for, it sounds like you're going, G...U...N...rather slow for me."
"Well, I don't care if it's too slow for you, on official 'GUN' business I order you to stay out of the situation!"
The two mobians glared harshly at each other. Eggman whistled, "Yoo-hoo, over here. Evil genius planning to take over the world." Both hedgehogs rolled their eyes at this. "Ah, good. I'm going to use this ray," A ray came from the back of the eggmobile,"To separate my chaos emerald, and it's two energies good and evil, into two separate gems."
Sonic waved this off, " 'Think you can stop me Sonic Heros?', yeah enough of that stuff, just hand over the emerald, because I think Shadz would even agree that, Either of us hedgehogs would do better with the emerald than you."
"I told you hedgehog, I'm taking the emerald to GUN."
"You missed the points Shadz."
"Would you stop calling me that?"
"Ahem, boys you want this?" Eggman held in his gloved hand a yellow chaos emerald. Then holding higher, he said, "Then come and get it." A plane propeller was heard. Then the Tornado came around, with a little claw out of the bottom.
"Sonic! I got the emerald!"
"Nice work, Tails!" Sonic flashed his signature smile. Shadow rolled his eyes, muttering something about GUN. Eggman smacked his control panel. The eggmoblie rocked violently.
"Why-I'll-You, AGHH!" The ray gun went off. A sonic boom was heard, "TAILS!?"
The floating base rocked, trying to recover from the blast of the blue blur. Smoke was surrounding the tornado.
"Sonic? Sonic!? BRO!? Shadow, do you see him?" The young fox climbed out of the wrecked tornado. The sudden events had caused him to swerve. "I don't see him fox, however I do feel his chaos energy, no… I feel chaos energy that feels like him. Just not quite."
As the smoke cleared, two blue hedgehogs were revealed. One with a darker color scheme, the other lighter. The lighter rubbed his head getting up slowly, "Woah, my head feels buzzed. Do I have a hangover? Way Past Uncool."
The other glared from the corner of his eye. "No, idiot use your brain."
"Uhhmm, laser, Eggie says it separates emeralds' energy, tries to shoot at Tails, I run towards him, and…" His eyes widen, "Woah! We're separate!" He does a full back flip to complete his surprise. The darker one face palms, "I'm such an idiot."
"Uhh...I think I'll just go…" Eggman says and almost goes. Both blue hedgehogs turn with a cry of the man's name.
"No you're not." The darker blue Sonic seems to mimic a chaos control of some kind and lands on the mobile. Snatching the emerald he flips backwards down.
"And you say, I'm overdramatic! Honestly." The lighter one says, before hitting the eggmobile a few times in the right spot, so a dark smoke comes out.
As Eggman flew away, the other two mobians watched open mouthed.
"Soo...we're separate, that's bad."
"Yes, very, considering our chaos levels are now unbalanced. Don't want to be like that fool and unbalance them to long. Oh, sorry Shadow, I forgot you don't remember those other timelines."
"Be nice, it's not Shads' fault that he went psycho a few times."
"Amazing!" Tails ran over examining both Sonics. "He separated you...you guys are like the yin and yang of Sonic. The negative and positive chaos energy."
"You-You, warped without an emerald." Shadow said probably even more amazed than Tails.
The darker one chuckled darkly, "And you think you're powerful."
"Well, he is kinda, well, a lot powerfull. And what's with this yin and yang stuff Tails? I am Sonic. And so is he. In fact we were having a pleasant conversation earlier."
"Yes. Then we decided we were probably sounding crazy."
"Well, there's nothing wrong with us being a little crazy. We do crazy stuff that pretty much sums up our life."
"So...uh," the fox began, "This seems like this would be a cool experiment, except it's not exactly stable conditions. How we get you back together though-"
"Honestly, it's simple chaos emerald. Bend Chaos Energy, put us back together. Extremely painful. This whole experience was unnecessarily more complicated than it needs to be. At least right now."
"Odd… the darker part of you is smarter."
"Oh come one Shadz! I'm smart too, I m-" The other darker Sonic grabbed his lighter one, the chaos emerald from the Tornado appearing in his hand. A blinding light appeared.
Then there was Sonic, standing whole. And no parts missing, thank Chaos.
"Sonic! You're whole again!"
"Yup little bro."
"Hand over the emerald."
"Geez, Shadz okay. Here, take your darn fou-"
"This is my third."
"Ah, I see that's why you aren't truly grumpy. Come on Tails, let's go home, er, well, mind chaos controlling us Shadz, we don't exactly have a plane right now."
"Of course hedgehog." he said spitefully.
"You're okay, Right Sonic?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Tails...why wouldn't I be."
Lying through our teeth I see.
We don't know if anything's wrong...yet.
Exactly. Tails is bound to run tests, what do you think the test results will show?
I dunno- um, maybe, maybe you kno-
Say It.
Side Effects…
