Shadow, ticked, aimed his pistol at Sonic's forehead. Tails was on his knees, crying over the loss of Knuckles the Echidna. And Amy's body was burning with the fires of a thousand good deeds as she pulled out her Piko Piko hammer. Sonic was laughing his head off. But Sonic's robot was scanning what had happened. When its ruby red eyes scanned over Tails, it stopped immediately.

"Chosen One found. Can become strongest creature on Earth. Current Status: Normal." The Sonic robot (let's call him Robo from now on) said in its flat, metallic voice. Suddenly, Amy shot forward, reaching speeds not even Hyper Shadow could reach. She smashed Sonic on the head with her hammer as hard as she could, making Sonic see stars. Shadow then shot Sonic in the arm, making him lose any control of it. But something strange was happening to Tails. His deep, sapphire blue eyes were showing pure hatred, and anger. Tails, showing anger beyond all control, jumped into the air, emitting a strong, red light. Fierce wind began rushing throughout the hallway, blowing Knuckles' body away. Shadow embraced himself for impact. After a few seconds, the light subsided, and the fierce wind died down. Where Tails was standing/floating moments before, was a taller, fire engine red fox with two tails, and deep, flaming red eyes that could pierce metal. He also managed to get a shiny, turquoise blue cape that flew in the wind.

"Sonic...what you've done is unforgivable...UNFORGIVABLE!" said Turbo Tails angrily. Then, Turbo Tails charged at Sonic, and started attacking him. He punched Sonic in the gut, and when he doubled over, gloves soaked with blood, Turbo Tails gave Sonic a right uppercut. Sonic flew backwards into the wall, smashing it. There was blood all over Sonic's jaw, and his gut was showing no sign of stopping the flow. Sonic, sensing immense danger (finally) took out the black Chaos Emerald with his left hand.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Sonic yelled, disappearing in a flash of green light just before Turbo Tails punched what would be his chin. Turbo Tails, relieved, was then covered in a flash of red light, and turned back into Tails. Tails flew back down to the ground, panting. They heard whimpering from the hallway where Tails was. He turned to see a bright green hedgehog, backed into the corner, cowering in fear at the sight of Turbo Tails. Tails came over to him.

"Are...are you ok?" Tails asked the hedgehog.

"Yeah...that was scary!" the green hedgehog replied. He stood up, and brushed the dust off himself.

"I'm sorry, we haven't been properly introduced. I'm V.B. the Hedgehog. And you're Tails, the hero of Station Square!" V.B. said. Tails gasped. If this guy found out about him attacking Sonic, then his reputation would be completely shattered. V.B. calmed down, no longer shaking. He took a deep breath.

"Tails, the reason I was scared was because of the emotions in your eyes. I saw hatred, anger, and revenge. I know something really bad must have happened for that to happen, but please try and control yourself. You could injure those you care about, even if you don't mean to." V.B. said. Then, Amy ran in, alongside Shadow. Shadow was carrying Knuckles' body, covered in soot from the wind.

"Oh my gosh.." said V.B as he saw the body. 'So that's what ticked off Tails..' V.B. thought to himself.

At Sonic's Lab/abandoned warehouse...

Sonic was completely happy. He had eliminated the strongest of his enemies! Sonic grinned, just at the thought! Robo was standing next to him. If Robo could smile, he would. He made his master proud. Sonic started typing on his computer. A picture of Cream the Rabbit appeared, as well as info about her, including where she lived, and who she was related to.

"Robo! Your current mission is to find and destroy Cream the Rabbit! And failure will not be tolerated!" Sonic yelled. Robo gave a salute, and flew/ran off into the distance.

Back at Amy's apartment...

V.B. was consoling Tails, who was the only sane member of Team Sonic left, in the living room. Amy was in the kitchen, cooking something for poor, mortified Tails. Shadow was running around somewhere in Station Square. When someone knocked on the door, Tails ran to get it, hoping it might distract him. As he opened it, he saw a familiar face.

"Cream! Please, come in!" Tails greeted warmly. Cream nodded her thanks as she walked in. Cream walked over to where V.B. was, and turned on the T.V.

"Everyone, you might want to see this..." Cream said. Amy rushed in to the room from the kitchen at the sound of Cream's voice, Tails walked over from the doorway, and V.B. simply turned his head towards the screen.

"Everyone, today is a day that will change Earth. Sonic the Hedgehog, the hero who has saved us all from destruction many times, has joined forces with the evil Dr. Eggman publicly, and has denounced his hero ways." the newscaster announced. Cream turned off the T.V. Tails looked as though someone was shot; Amy was staggering backwards, fear showing in her emerald green eyes, and V.B. gasped in terror, his eyes widening. As though on cue, Shadow ran into the room, stopping a few feet in front of everyone.

"Why does everyone look so mortified? It's not like we lost another friend..." Shadow stated, expecting that they actually had.

"Shadow, we have bad news." Shadow gulped. "Sonic and Eggman have joined forces. If Sonic knows where we live, he could rid the world of all of us." Amy stated; her emerald green eyes on the brink of tears. Shadow's jaw dropped a foot, and he caught himself. 'Faker is the last person I would have guessed to change alliances...especially to join Dr. Eggman, of all people!' Shadow thought. Then he thought about some of Sonic's past words.

Flashback

"That's right, Shadow. And I broke out for one reason...to destroy both you, Shadow, and Eggman." Sonic said.

End Flashback

Shadow told everyone about this piece of news. Tails gasped in surprise. Everyone turned to look at him. Amy knew he was about to say something smart, and slightly smiled.

"I know why he did it! I know why Sonic joined Eggman, even though he said he'd said he would destroy him! It's because..."

Heh, this is the end of chapter 7. I hope this is a good cliffhanger. I'm glad that some people are reviewing now. The shockers I mentioned were the return of Eggman, Sonic joining Eggman, and Turbo Tails making his appearance. OK, they probably were somewhat expected, but still! Not much of anything in this chapter that applies to any kind of genre. A little action, that's all. Oh, and DarknessofDepression? I'm not girlie, 'cause I'm not a girl. Yeah...I guess that's it. Please review. Later!
