Negative Effects

Chapter Ten: Chaos Reins

Sonic and the others walked into the throne room and searched for Dr. Ivo Robotnik. 'Why did this have to happen? Why won't this just go away?' Trey thought to himself. "I don't see anything. Let's go into the control room and…" Amy began to say, but she was pushed by Geo. A few lasers passed by their heads and everyone took cover. "Damn, you rodents are very persistent." the evil scientist said. Tails ran towards him but stopped suddenly when he saw something in the doctor's arms. He looked on in shock as he finally realized that his worst fear had come true. The evil genius laughed like a maniac as he held Monica's limp body in his arms. "You should really watch your family. And I thought you learned from this lesson Tails." Dr. Ivo Robotnik said. Tails looked at him in disbelief. "But I could have sworn that she was right by my side." Tails whispered to himself. "She was." someone said behind him. Tails turned around and looked at who it was. "Until I knocked her out and brought her to the great doctor himself." a coyote said.

Tails stared at the coyote for a few seconds. "You look familiar." he said. "Dad, he's the coyote's son that you fought in the desert so many years ago. His name is Tony." Trey said. "Ah Trey, it's good to see you again. You're just in time to watch your mother get brutally murdered." Tony snickered. "That will never happen." Tails yelled. He ran towards Tony and tried to grab for him. But Tony sidestepped out of the way and kicked Tails in his chest. Tails lost his breath and then kneeled. "Ha, all too easy." Tony said. "Thank you for that, Tony. You will be handsomely paid after this ordeal is over with." Dr. Ivo Robotnik said. Trey didn't know what to think. Everything was out of order. Time itself, the three evil geniuses, and even his girlfriend.

Carmen coughed next to him and watched as he thought very hard about something. 'Trey, I'll try to win you over no matter what the cost. I just hope we get out of here so I can prove it.' Carmen thought. The mad scientist laughed as he saw the rest of the heroes stop in their tracks. "You are all useless when you're not together. You should try not relying on each other." he said. Sonic growled at him, "I doubt very highly that you can stop us just because you have one of our friends. You can not watch your back twenty-four/seven." he said. Robotnik just cackled, "You're absolutely right, that's exactly why I'm having Ashley to kill Monica and not me. Ashley, get in here now." he said. Trey tried to hold back his feelings but couldn't choke on them fast enough. "NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Trey yelled. Robotnik snickered, "It's not my fault you didn't watch your girlfriend more closely. Most people are not as they appear." he said.

"Exactly my point, which is why we found an old friend of ours and brought him to this timeline." Nega said and smiled. Suddenly someone walked into the room with a sniper rifle hunched over his shoulder and a handgun in his hand. He looked exactly like Tails only his fur was silver and he looked a lot meaner. He was wearing a light grey flak jacket with particular gun rounds in various pockets and dark grey cargo pants. He also had a symbol of a 'C' with a bloody knife going through it. The fox looked around, trying to figure out which party was the enemy, and which one was not. Nega walked to him and shook hands with him. "Long time no see Chaos. I know you used to work for Dr. Ivo Robotnik before, but this time he has gone too far. Also, the girl you are looking for has traveled to this timeline as well." Nega explained.

Chaos cocked an eyebrow, "You mean Ashley Remington? I thought I killed her at least three times. Damn she's slippery. I knew I should have checked, now she could be going after Tails or his son." he explained. "That's already happened." Trey whispered to him. "Enough chit chatter. Ashley, come here." Robotnik ordered. An automatic door opened and Ashley came into the room from behind the evil genius' throne. But as she looked among the crowd of heroes, she noticed Chaos easily standing out and gasped. 'How did he find me?' she thought. "Ah, Ashley. Shouldn't you be in the other time zone, rotting in a grave?" Chaos asked. Ashley turned away, "Still cold as ever, I see." she commented. "I've come here to get rid of you once and for all." Chaos said and aimed his pistol at her forehead. "No! You can't kill her." Trey yelled and shielded her from the marksman. "Kid, this may be your first love, but she is dangerous to time itself, and she tried to set you up." Chaos said.

"I don't care anymore, I just know I love her, and that's all that matters to me now." Trey whispered and turned to face her. "Ashley, I know you're still good, we've been together for more than a year, and I know you had to at least feel something." he said and held her hand. Ashley looked at him in shock and backed away from Trey. 'How could I be so blind, he really loves me. But… I have to avenge my mother. At least, I think I do.' Ashley thought. "Please Ashley, don't give up on me." Trey whispered. Just as Ashley was about to answer, Robotnik shot Trey in his chest and laughed. Trey coughed up blood and fell onto the floor. "No!" Ashley yelled. "So much for that fox, now finish him off and your mother will be avenged." Robotnik said and handed Ashley the pistol.

But before she could decide anything, Tails ran up to Robotnik in fury and tried to attack him. But he was caught off guard when Tony punched him in his stomach. "You shall never touch the master." Tony said and kicked Tails in his face. "No, bud." Sonic said and ran towards Tony. Of course, he never saw it coming and was tackled onto the ground. Sonic began to punch the coyote and yell at him. "This is what you get when you mess with any friend of mine." Sonic yelled and hit him again. The coyote was knocked out, but Sonic noticed that the damage had been done. Robotnik and Ashley had left with Tails and Monica. Mist and Flare picked up Trey and carried him to Tikal. "Can you heal this wound? It looks pretty bad." Flare said. "I'll see what I can do." Tikal replied. 'This can't be the end. After all these years, Ivo Robotnik has captured Tails and Monica again. They do not deserve this and neither does this planet. We should get rid of him once and for all.' Sonic thought.
