Okay, this chapter was a real pain. Don't expect me to upload another chapter for At least two days, although I may be working on another project... you'll find out more soon. Anyway, here's:

The Dark Transference

Chapter 3- Malfunction

The Teleportron sparked. Its portal jolted back and forth. It zoomed and bounced around all of the Star Light Resort. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. The portal the Teleportron created MULTIPLIED! The two portals suddenly screeched to a halt, but from Tails' perspective, he only saw one.

"TAILS! BEHIND YOU!" Sonic yelled. Tails looked behind him and saw the Extractor's stinger coming through the portal. It seemed as though the new portal and the old portal were connected, as part of the malfunction. Tails leaped back in absolute terror.

"AAAAAHH!" Tails screamed as he flew higher, trying to avoid the Extractor's stinger. However, The Extractor's programming soon became undone, as soon enough, its vision became blurry, and it mistook Tails for Sonic.

"SONIC ACQUIRED." The Extractor then shot out his stinger, and it hit Tails straight in the cranium!

"NO! YOU FOOL! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, EXTRACTOR!" Eggman yelled through his monitor.

"WHOSE VOICE IS THAT?" The Extractor asked. His recent unwiring caused him to lose his memory and all of his powers that made him nearly unstoppable, and without those he was just…. A giant Buzz Bomber.

"Alright! Finally, some action!" Sonic jumped upon the Red Buzz Bomber's head, and pounded it to oblivion.

"WIRING ScRAmBLED." The Extractor said in a confused tone. It crashed into the ground, and with its final move before obliteration, it called back its stinger. The stinger jerked out of Tails' head, surprisingly enough not hurting the kitsune, and while it zoomed back to the Extractor, Sonic accidentally landed in its path.

"Oh, No." Sonic tried jumping, but his foot was stuck underneath one of the Extractor's gigantic wings. The stinger was headed straight towards him, as the Extractor's connection point was straight behind him. Sonic only had one option. He tried catching the thorn with his bare hands. He prepared himself, and he caught it perfectly. He then threw it at the Extractor, and the Extractor reconnected its wiring.

"SCANNING FOR POTENTIAL SUCCESS…" the Extractor scanned and scanned, but to his surprise, not even the abilities he drained from Tails were in his stinger!

"Well that was anti-UH OH." Sonic stopped mid-sentence and realized an orange glob on his glove. He took off his glove for a moment, and even his hand had a stinger mark in it. Sonic then realized that he had accidentally absorbed what the Extractor had caught, which meant….he had some of Tails' DNA within him.

"TRY IT AGAIN! FIRE!" Eggman shot the Extractor's stinger again, this time striking Sonic straight in the quills. Sure enough, his speed was drained. However, the Extractor may not have been programmed to fire twice, as soon, the stinger went haywire, and went through the Teleportron's portal, and the once-filled quill struck straight into Tails' back. Then, the kitsune took the stinger out, and tossed it towards the Teleportron, closed the Teleportron, and this time, Sonic escaped before another drop was withdrawn from him, and the Extractor activated its self-destruct.

"WHAT?! NO! NO! THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE! I REMOVED THE SELF-DESTRUCT BUTTON!" Eggman screamed. However, as soon as he finished his sentence, a mechanical voice from behind him cleared its throat.

"M-m-my Badniks? But How? Why? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! I was *this* close to victory and you just snatch it away from me?! What kind of minions ARE you?!" Eggman asked frantically.

Then, the Motobug from yesterday came up and spoke with Eggman. "Listen here, you Egg-shaped buffoon, we're tired of supporting you. WHAT IS THE POINT of it if we KNOW you're never going to succeed?"

"I WOULD'VE had it this time if it weren't for you meddling mechas!" Eggman replied. "My ultimate weapon, and you wire the self-destruct button back in?! You know what? You can leave! Leave RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" He screamed.

The Badniks all cheered simultaneously as they left the base of Eggman, as the scientist then thought to himself, "What am I going to do without them? I need minions… they were the only reason I had nearly obtained my victories before…." He then looked behind him, and saw Metal Sonic.

The Mechanical Hedgehog then said to Eggman, "I AM SORRY MASTER, BUT I MUST LEAVE." He then slowly walked out, and Eggman was alone. No one to comfort him in his time of need. Only an Egg-shaped man in a laboratory was left, just like how he had started back in 1991…..

Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails were trying to identify what was going on. Sonic couldn't run and Tails couldn't fly. Something was definitely screwy. They looked and then realized: The Extractor was the cause of this. It would only be a few days until Sonic was flying and Tails was running at the speed of sound. Just the thought of that made them shudder. Well, either way, they had a long night ahead of them. Tails had to work on trying to fix this mess AND repair the Teleportron, while Sonic had to try and regain his speed like in the old days: gaining momentum and working himself to the limit. And so, after about a 45 minute long trot home (For both of them this time, they finally separated to go to their homes.

"Good Night, Tails." Tails said to Sonic, and vice versa. They then paused in shock. This transference of DNA was acting faster than they had thought. 'Whoa, this is crazy.' Sonic thought. Neither of them had experienced something like this before, and it truly terrified them. But, either way, after about an hour, Tails and Sonic finally fell asleep (Well, Tails passed out on the floor again, but either way, he still fell asleep.). And they both had a pretty insane dream.
