A.N. For those of you not watching me on Deviant Art, my lap top screen is busted. The computer itself is perfectly fine though.

The warranty should cover to fix it. I just have to bring it in to Best Buy. Probably go this Sunday with my dad.

Also, kudos to my dad, as he is letting me borrow his lap top for now. And I have all my documents backed up on a thing, so, that's good.

Evil ahead! Muhahahaha!

Enjoy!


Tails wasn't sure how long he waited in that cell. He tried using his small amount of Chaos knowledge to see if he could sense anything. Nothing. The genius attempted a number of different ways to get his cell door opened. Attempt after attempt left him with the same ending. These bars just wouldn't move.

The other prisoner kept trying to talk to him, but Tails didn't listen. He needed to get himself out. Waiting here wasn't an option. Sonic might need him…His parents…

The kitsune estimated at least a week had gone by, considering the meals that appeared in a long tube for him. It was to small for him to exploit though, and firing lightning up seemed counter productive. Why say no to the food? If they were going to kill him, they could have done so earlier.

He also learned that his meals were considerably better then Chuck's. Tails offered to share, but Chuck refused.

After about a week, Tails rested on his wooden plank that served as a bed, then sighed, speaking up.

"Alright…I'm not getting out anytime soon," he relented, "Let's talk."

Chuck chuckled from his cell, "Alright. My name, as I said before, is Charles. You can call me Chuck. I am a member of the Royal Hedgehog family...Your last name is Prower, right?"

"Yah…It is…"

"Good people, your parents. Amadeus and Rosemary," Chuck said.

"You knew them?" Tails wondered, curious, "When?"

"About…Ohhh…How old are you?" Charles wondered, "Time loses meaning in here after a while."

"I'm sixteen," Tails answered, "Almost seventeen."

"Last time I saw them was about sixteen years ago…Ooohhh…" Charles sighed softly to himself. The secrets he had to keep…At least he had his solitude. Merlin had to face them everyday, what the two had to do to stop the world from falling to Darkness.

"Something wrong?" Tails wondered, arching an eyebrow. He was a little suspicious, and something seemed wrong.

"Oh…Nothing…Tell me, how long have you been in this world?"

"A couple weeks, I think. Lost track of some time here," Tails answered, "Things seemed to be going okay…Until Silver and his army attacked. I got taken down by a green hedgehog who called himself Manic."

Silence…And then, Charles was about to speak again, when a wall began to creak, moving.

"We have company…"

Silver the Hedgehog stepped forward, looking at the cells. All except Charles and Tails' were empty. This place was reserved for the worst traitors, or those that were to strong to be contained in a normal cell.

As far as Silver was concerned, they had one of each.

"You," Silver said, standing in front of Tails' cell, glaring at him, "…Your help, is needed."

"My help?" Tails said skeptically. "Somehow I doubt that…"

Silver glowered, but maintained his stance, "Your…friend, Sonic, has gone missing. He was spotted leaving Princess Blaze's castle a few days ago. And something is wrong with him. He appears to be losing to his Dark Side…"

Tails gasped. He had never seen Dark Sonic himself, but he had been told about him…And when Sonic had been in a coma for so long, it was because of him fighting against his Dark Side.

"But I thought…He was gone…" Tails said, "Sonic told me he defeated his Dark Side!"

"Sonic is fighting against it. I'll give him that," Silver sighed, shaking his head, "But I do not think he will be able to last to long. I need your help…I can not defeat Dark Sonic alone."

Tails frowned, "Still…How do I know you're just not making this up? And why do you need my help?"

"Fine then, don't trust me. Stay here for the rest of your life. Which may not be for to much longer. When the food stops coming, you'll know we're all dead. Or dieing."

Silver turned to walk away.

"…Wait!"

Silver chuckled, turning back, "Yes Miles? Did you change our mind?"

Tails sighed, nodding his head, "Yah…if what you say is true, then I will help you. I don't know what exactly I can do though. I can't beat him either. But on one condition."

"And that would be?" Silver wondered, raising an eyebrow.

"Let this guy out too…Chuck," Tails said, pointing to the cell next to him.

"Absolutely not. He is a traitor, and partially responsible for Dark Sonic," Silver growled, "Under no circumstances will I allow him to walk free."

"He's…what? How?!" Tails shouted, eyes wide.

"Just go Tails…" Charles sighed, "I'm sure he'll tell you everything…At least his version. And I have my own sins to pay for. No reason for you to wile away your youth here."

Tails shook his head, confused. But he needed answers, to everything that was happening. If it meant he'd have to side with Silver, at least for now, to save Sonic and uncover the truth, he would do so.

"Fine…" Tails sighed, "Let's go."

Silver grinned, and waved his hands. The cell door opened, and Tails stepped out, and followed Silver to the exit.

In his cell, Sir Charles Hedgehog buried his head in his hands, whispering softly to himself.

"My Sol Merlin…What have we done?"


Sonic was gone.

That's all that went through Blaze's mind as she walked through the castle, in a bit of a stupor. Tails had been captured, Sonic fell to his Darkside.

A few days after that, he left the castle. Nothing even so much as a goodbye.

She couldn't blame him for that. That Darkness…That night. She tried not to think about it. She hadn't spoken a word of what occurred to anyone.

Maybe Sonic just went to rescue Tails, and would return with the kitsune in tow, back to smiles, corny jokes, and his trademark smile.

Nothing…

Blaze sighed softly, taking a seat on her bed. She had become depressed, listless. Amadeus, having lost his son again, threw himself into his work with a renewed furvor, hoping to get his son back soon, hoping that young Miles wasn't dead. As far as the nobles and people were concerned, Amadeus was in charge until further notice.

A few times Rosemary Prower checked in on her, trying to console the Princess, with minimal response.

Merlin had taken to his own laboratory, working on various spells, and would not accept any visitors, excepting Sir Connery, who brought him any supplies and food that he might need.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do more Sonic…" Blaze sighed, holding the blue Sol Emerald tightly. It glowed softly for a second, then quieted down.

She wondered for a brief second how everyone on the other world were doing. Were they okay? Did anything bad happen there? She remembered that those two hedgehogs, Amy and Shadow, were suppose to get married soon. Surely they'd tried to send a message…Could she really tell them all of what happened?


"Heh heh heh…" Scourge chuckled, looking downwards at Blaze's Castle, Metal Sonic standing next to him. Scourge had the sword that had pinned him in a sheath on his back. "Another Sol Emerald is in there, isn't it?"

"Correct," Metal Sonic answered, "This will be my fifth Sol Emerald…I can only hope things are going as plan on the other world."

Scourge grinned, revealing pointed teeth, "Sounds like fun. And that Sonic guy is missing, and seems to be turning evil or something. Makes things easier for us, doesn't it?"

"It does…Once I have all the Sol Emeralds, and my son has gathered the seven Chaos Emeralds, I will be able to unite them…" Metal Sonic stated.

"I will be invincible, unstoppable…Coupled with the Time Stone, no one will be able to stand in my way…" Metal Sonic thought to himself, red eyes glowing.

Of course, he knew he'd have to keep a close eye on this Scourge. The robotic hedgehog had no doubts that this Sonic-lookalike would try and backstab him.

"So are we going to just attack?" Scourge wondered, glancing to Metal.

"No…For now, the Sol Emerald is safe there. We can come back to it at our leisure…" Metal said, "I just needed to make sure Sonic was gone."


A robot crumpled to pieces, a white hedgehog spatting at it.

"That's what you bastards get for interrupting my nap," Rozik cursed, pulling out an old canteen and taking a swig.

"Blag," Rozik muttered, making a face, "This is stuff is horrible sober."

He shrugged and took another swig, then placed it under his jacket.

The wind seemed to pick up, pieces of trash following in a small wake.

Eggman-Nega's land…Full of refuse, an abandoned metal city. Legends told that this was once the sparkling center of a royal age long ago. The royalty were said to be descendents of the royalty from then, but it was so long ago it did not matter. Whispers of legend even.

This world was old.

This was where Rozik made his home. Others did as well, a few were forced.

But Eggman-Nega had never deliberately set out to capture others. Only those who went out of their way to stop him. Rozik just fought any robots he came across, but wasn't making any conscious effort to destroy them. If they got out of his way, Rozik spared them.

Contemplating this latest predicament, he thought he heard robots being smashed in the distance…


Man with a large white mustache, black coat and odd red pants sat in a giant floating orb, chuckling to himself.

"Ooohhh…Yes…" he said with a smile, "This will do nicely…"

A gorilla mobian was inside a large glass-like tube, yelling at Eggman-Nega, pounding his fists against the edges. They held.

"What are you going to do to me?!" the gorilla shouted, desperate to get out.

A long tube snaked from the top of the machine, and stopped by Eggman-Nega.

"What am I going to do?" Eggman-Nega chuckled, delight in his beady eyes, "Why…Nothing at all."

He placed his hand at the end of the tube, and Nothing slinked from it, moving through the tube.

The gorilla mobian watched with wide eyes, as Nothing began to fill the container he was in.

In moments, nothing was in the tube, and with a horrible slunking noise, air returned, Nothing disappearing.

"Nothing at all…" Eggman-Nega smiled, "Nothing at all…"


A.N. Hints at evilness ahead!

Chaotic Relations may or may not end up coming around next week. I honestly do not know, but since my lap top is currently MIA, I may just decide to sit on it for a bit.

Thankfully I can use my dad's lap top for right now. Hopefully it'll be fixed by Sunday.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this evil!

I do not own Sonic and all related titles.
