Sorry I was so late updating my stuff, you know how Spring Break is, it's supposed to be where you have fun. Not get stuck around a computer. But I still would have updated anyway if I had one at the time. I'm visiting family and they don't have a computer, I'm just getting to a library. Enough about that, time to read about people getting punched in the face and buildings blowing up. -Peace-

Negative Effects

Chapter Five: Distractions, Distractions

As Trey gained consciousness, he looked around his surroundings. He was in his hut and his parents were standing over him. They were not looking at him at the moment and were whispering amongst themselves. "Trey says that Dr. Robotnik is back. I knew this was going to happen, we should have acted quicker, or something even worse could have happened." Tails said. "Now now, no reason for crying over spilled milk, you did the best you could. What we need to do now is warn the village and put them in a high alert." Monica said. "I still say I should have made the kids train at thirteen instead of at sixteen." Tails said. Trey sat up and coughed. He was still sore from his battle with the robots. Monica looked at her son and hugged him. "I'm glad I didn't lose you." she said. Trey was shocked at first, it just surprised him every time how his mother's affection could get to him so much. "Mom, I'm alright. I'm a little bruised, but I'm ok." Trey said.

Tails put his hands on his son's shoulder, "What exactly happened out there?" he asked. Trey explained about how he went to the stadium to train and he was jumped by Shadow bots. Then he told about the part where he met with a group of black furs that resembled Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and his mother. Then he told him about his little run-in with a hedgehog that looked a little different from Sonic and how he wanted to talk to Sonic very badly. "I see, well this doesn't look good from any angle you look at it in." Tails said. Trey thought about it hard, "I couldn't really tell you. All I know is that it seemed like he had to tell him something very important." Trey said. All of a sudden, he decided to tell him what he found confusing through the whole ordeal. "Dad, what really bothered me is the fact that the black furs said Dr. Eggman and the Shadow bots said Dr. Ivo Robotnik? Are they two different people or something?" Trey asked. "I really can't tell you, but I'm afraid that sooner or later, we will find out." Tails said. Suddenly, Ashley burst into the hut. "Trey are you ok? I heard you just came from a big fight of some sort. What happened?" she asked. "Maybe another time, but not right now. We have to find out what that other hedgehog wants with Sonic." Tails said. They all ran to the Royal hut to find it in ruins.

"No, no, no, no! How could this have happened?" Monica yelled. They looked around looking for the worse and found Kindra lying on the ground. Her clothes were torn and she looked like she was about to die any second. Tails ran to her and picked her up. She opened her eyes and looked at him. "What happened?" Tails asked. "A black hedgehog came over to the hut and asked to speak to my father. I thought he was suspicious from the beginning, but you can't judge the book by its cover. Unfortunately, this book had a bad plot scheme from the get go and we let him in the house. When my father saw him, he almost froze up." she said. Tails looked rather confused by the information, but he told her to go on. "The black hedgehog spoke of Trey and how he had to turn him over to Dr. Eggman. My father looked confused and didn't exactly know who that was, but we found out when our front door blew off of the hinges. He looked the person that my father described as Dr. Ivo Robotnik. He was big and fat, he had a big orange mustache, but he had a red tuxedo on. He also wore black tights that didn't seem to fit him at all. He had dark shades and a pair of goggles on his forehead. He didn't have a type of pointy head like my father said." Kindra said. Tails rubbed his hand on under his chin. "What happened next?" he asked. Kindra looked down at the ground and thought real hard. "Well, the guy ordered a bunch of robots to take dad and mom. I decided to help them and fought against the robots. The black hedgehog hit my dad upside the head and knocked him out cold while the robots began to blow up the hut. One of the blasts blew up the wall and the ceiling collapsed. I moved out of the way but was hit on the head from the rubble. Then you guys found me. I guess they took dad and mom." she said.

Trey began to get angry, "We need to get Uncle Sonic back, he's our only hope against this menace." he said. "Not really." someone said behind them. They all turned around to see a big and fat human with a dark brown mustache. He was wearing a buttoned red shirt with black tights and he had on a yellow cape. He also had on dark shades and he had a round bald head. "My name is Dr. Robotnik and you see, I am the creator of Metal. I say this because I want to tell you that you have no chance against us three supreme rulers." he said. He began to laugh and jumped into an egg-shaped floating machine. He flew away into the sky and left the villagers in thought. Monica finally broke the silence, "Wait a second, so are these different people we are dealing with? I remember Dr. Robotnik to have a pointy head, not a round one." she stated. "I really don't know what's going on, but this needs to get straightened out right now." Tails said. They left and walked towards the stadium that Trey had left earlier to find it trashed. "All of these cracks in the wall and broken pieces, how am I supposed to fix this?" Tails asked. "You won't." someone said behind him. They all turned around to see a black mirror image of Tails. "See dad, that's the type of furs I saw earlier." Trey said. "What is your name?" Tails asked. The black vulpine snickered and walked steadily around the group. "My name is Nega and I will introduce you to my team." he said. Suddenly three other black figures jumped out of the trees and landed next to Nega. He pointed to the black vixen first. "This is my partner, Shade and we are getting engaged soon." he said. Then he pointed to the black echidna. "This is Nightmare. And he is just as good as Knuckles when it comes to strength." he said. He walked up to the female black hedgehog and put a hand on her shoulder. "And this is Midnight. She is even more powerful than Amy when it comes to her Piko Piko Hammer." he said.

"So, what do you want with us?" Ashley asked. Nega laughed, "Oh no dear child, it is not you that I am after..." he said and looked at Trey. "It is merely the Desert Fox's son." he said and pulled out a phaser. Nightmare ran up to Trey and tried to punch him. Trey dodged and tried to get away from the dark figures that seemed to surround him. "We are the Eclipse Force. You can not get away." Shade said and swiftly ran beside Trey. Then she tried to sweep-kick him off of his feet, but he jumped and stopped running. Not even two seconds later did the four black furs circle around him. Midnight charged at Trey and swung her mallet at his face. He ducked and kicked her side. The next thing he saw was a fist in his face and he skidded across the grass. He bumped his head on a tree and he began to rub his head. "Man, this is starting to hurt." he whispered to himself. "And this is going to hurt a lot more if you don't stay still." Nega said and tried to punch him again. Trey activated his robotic tail and propelled into the air to dodge the punch. 'How in the world did he move that fast to even he what I was saying?' he thought. "You can't run forever." Nega said. He was propelling in the air as well and he flew towards Trey. Trey moved out of the way and flew back towards Knothole. 'I have to get out of here. Otherwise I will be killed by them and then who would protect Knothole?' he thought. He made it back to his hut and decided it wasn't safe there either, so he flew out of Knothole and made it out of Mobotropolis. "I've been out of the city a couple of times and dad told me if anything gets too hot, to just go to a good hiding place until things cool down. I just need some time to think." he said to himself as he flew out into the world of uncharted areas.

Tails had told everyone to get away from the area and he decided to find out what was going on. "So far, all I know is that there are three evil scientists. One is the one who claims he is the creator of Metal, whoever the hell that is. Second is this Dr. Eggman that I've heard about. And third is the one and only Dr. Robotnik I had to face." he said while going back to his hut. He found Monica waiting there and they tried to think that their son was somewhere hiding in a safe place. "I hope Trey is ok." Monica said. Tails sighed, "I hope so too. It all happened so fast. I still don't get what happened. Who are these villains and what do they want? In all of this, I noticed the original Robotnik hasn't shown up, so that's something to be thankful for." he said. He nuzzled Monica's cheek and sighed again. 'Son, I hope you know how to handle this situation. Because it looks like I won't be able to help you this time.' Tails thought.

In a base not too far off from Mobotropolis...

A big man sat in a chair in front of monitors that showed Knothole and Mobotropolis. The person was looking at Tails and Monica in their own home. "Don't count your children before they are born, rodent. I'm coming back with a big affect onto the world." the man said and laughed. An orange vixen with brown silky hair and velvet eyes came into the room. "Your Greatness, they suspect nothing. But there is a problem with the disturbances and distractions. Your Shadow bots could have easily taken out Desert Fox's son, but these black furs got into the way." the vixen said. "No matter, we will deal with those other fakers later. Your mission is to take out Trey Prower and nothing else." the person said. "Yes, your Greatness." the vixen said and left.
