Chapter 11: Dark Truth


3 Days Later

Tails and Zetsu were fighting another one of Robotnik's meches with the mad doctor inside the metal behemoth and very little damage could be seen on the metal suit as Tails panted heavily while Zetsu just seemed to stand there, looking at the robotic suit.

"Tails move." said Zetsu and Tails used his namesake to propel himself away from the fight as Zetsu slammed his fists into the ground and roots shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves around the metal suit and began crushing it at which Robotnik panicked and ejected himself from the suit.

"So long sucker! Wait! I forgot something about this suit...*GASP!*...I FORGOT THE PARACHUTE!" screamed Robotnik as his escape pod flew into his city in the distance and crashed.

Tails was walking amongst the wreckage when he heard a voice.

"zzzzzzttt...Robotnik?...zzzzzztttt...Robotnik? Is Tails dealt with?" said the voice as he found a small radio device and his eyes went wide with shock.

"S-Sonic?" said Tails shocked.

"Err...Tails! How nice to hear that you're alive!"

"You set me up. (Tails allows some of his Feral side to show) Blood was right."

"Who's Blood?"

"The one who's gonna help me end your miserable life you sick backstabbing scumbag!"

"Tails, let's not do anything has-"

The last part was never finished because Tails crushed the radio, unaware of the sharp bits of metal cutting into his clawed hand as tears streamed down his face.

'We should of told him sooner. I agree with you...again.' thought Zetsu to himself and then he began moving the wreckage to find anything salvageable.


Station Square Beach; Same time

Sonic threw the radio into the sand and began walking away with tears streaming down from his eyes, both hands clenched into fists.

"Why'd I do it?" asked the hedgehog to himself before a dark aura surrounded him.

"He was in the way..." said the hedgehog with a different tone as he walked away and never once did he look back.


Several Weeks Later; Mountain Region

"Come on you stupid Chaos Emerald!" grunted Klaxon as his "Tobi" persona as he tried to pull a Chaos Emerald out of the ground with Tails keeping a lookout for trouble. Tails had gotten over Sonic's betrayal pretty well, considering for the first five days straight Klaxon had to outrun the angry vulpine and after that everything returned to normal. Sally was also keeping an eye out for trouble.

"YAY! Klaxon got the shiny rock!" said Klaxon as he finally wrenched the emerald free and held it high only to have it and him snatched up by a Swat-Byrd.

"AAAHH! HELP ME!" screamed Klaxon as he held tightly to the emerald. Sally brought out a wrist-rocket and prepared to fire but was stopped by Tails.

"No! You'll hit Klaxon too." said Tails.

The two watched as Klaxon was carried to Robotnik's hover chair where the robot dropped Klaxon into Robotnik's grip.

"Hello you little brat. I'll be taking the Chaos Emerald now and I'll be dropping you to your doom." said Robotnik trying to pry the emerald from Klaxon's grip with no success.

"Over my cold dead body!" snapped Klaxon and then Robotnik dropped him.

"There! Now you'll be dead!" said the doctor with a smirk before the flapping of wings reached his ears and then he saw Klaxon fly up in front of him.

"GAH!"

"Mr. Buttnik doesn't know me vewy well does he?" said Klaxon childishly before he pulled out a rocket launcher and fired it at the doctor who then retreated. Klaxon then air-mooned the retreating doctor and then returned to his friends where Tails was on the ground laughing and Sally was stifling her laughter and Klaxon acted confused.

"What's so funny?" said Klaxon tilting his head to side.

"You can easily humiliate anyone without even trying its so funny!" laughed Tails clutching his stomach.

"Huh? Anyway, Klaxon got the shiny rock! Here." said Klaxon extending his hand and when he opened it there was no emerald and then he noticed that.

"AH! WHERE'S THE ROCK?! WHERE IS IT?!" screamed Klaxon searching his cloak's many hidden pockets before his tail brought it forward and he face-vaulted and tears streamed down his face.

"Leave it to my tail to hog all the glory." sobbed Klaxon and the other two howled with laughter.
