Tails' Journey

Chapter Two

I own Flash and Vinny, Jayln the Hedgehog owns Jayln, and kai-senpai owns Kai. Everyone else is owned by Sega and Sonic Team.

"Blaze!" Jayln exclaimed. Kai just looked over at her, a look of disbelief on her face. Vinny's eyes shot open, and he got up like his bones at turned to jelly.

"Jayln, we already knew Blaze can control fire, she's always been able to do that." Kai pointed out. Vinny managed to stop staggering and stand up straight.

"As Flash said, those beings with names that represent an element, like fire, can control that element." Vinny said. Kai looked at Vinny, then Jayln, confused.

"Fire? I'll help put it out!" someone yelled from the trees. Out jumped Gahlik, a chao by his side. The chao looked like a creepy ghost...chao. Jayln looked and saw Gahlik's shadow flickering along with the flames.

"Gahlik, there's no fire...at least not one we want put out. And if an element could be shadow, then that means...Shadow!" Jayln exclaimed.

"Hey!" Tails yelled abruptly, waking up. Vinny turned his head sharply, and his neck cracked. Jayln looked at Tails with a look of confusion on her face. Kai just looked confused all together.

"Look, let's just ignore this whole 'element' business, and focus on our mission: saving Cream." Kai said. Vinny nodded, his neck sore. Kai, Jayln and Tails looked over at the tracker and, sure enough, the red dot was still at the same place, towards the heart of the woods. There was a flash of lightning, and in front of them, stood Flash, the ground by his feet horribly scorched. Tails ran up to Flash, and jumped with joy.

"Sonic! I knew you would help!" Tails exclaimed. Flash just looked down at Tails pointedly before looking up again.

"My name is Flash. I don't know of this Sonic of whom you speak. I have warned you not to venture into this forest. I will not warn you again, but keep you out through any means necessary, even violence." Flash said, his cold yellow eyes flashing.

"We need to get in there to save a friend. Let us through." Vinny said. He tried to charge past Flash, but he was struck by an invisible barrier.

"Hey, I'm stuck!" Vinny exclaimed. Flash lifted his hand into the air slowly, and carried Vinny higher into the air as well. Tails watched in amazement as Vinny went higher and higher.

"If he falls from that height, he will die..." Tails muttered. Flash grinned, and gave Vinny a look of pure malice.

"After all my attempts all those years ago, maybe it'll be this that finally stops you from going into this forest!" Flash exclaimed, as he let go of Vinny. Vinny pulled out the purple Chaos Emerald.

"Before this is over, I will show you the true power of CHAOS CONTROL!" Vinny yelled, disappearing in a flash of green light.

'Hmph! Can't even come up with your own line?' Vinny could just picture Shadow saying something like this in his mind but, whatever, he didn't care, it made him feel cooler.

"We need to fight him if we must. Everyone, we need to team up." Tails said. Tails joined Vinny, and Kai and Jayln joined Shadow.

"CHAOS STRIKE A PIN INTO A DOLL!" someone roared from behind them. Out jumped Gahlik the Echidna, for the second time in a row, stabbing a Flash doll with a pin. Vinny closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Gahlik, that was pointless.' Tails said. Everyone looked at Tails in surprise, who gave them all a weird look.

"Hey, better that than nothing, right?" Kai asked. Tails was only eight, so shouldn't he be...happier?

"I don't think sticking a pin in him will work. I mean, science can clearly prove that-"Tails started. Vinny looked over at him, and he stopped.

"Let's just say...he doesn't quite think it'll do anything." Vinny shortened. Flash stood back up, clutching his eye.

"You...have no idea what you've just done. You have just blinded I, protector of this forest...you shall pay!" Flash said, charging towards them. Gahlik took out the Flash doll and punched the head.

"Ugh!" Flash screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, unconscious. Tails winced at the sight. Vinny shrugged and moved on. Tails and Gahlik followed him. Jayln watched as Kai took pictures of Flash's body.

"Just so Shadow can realize what he missed..." Kai said. Jayln shrugged, and the two of them caught up to the rest of the group.

"My tracer last said that she was in the center of the forest." Tails exclaimed. Vinny grabbed Tails, and without a second thought, warped to the center of the forest in an emerald light.

"I hate it when they don't include us..." Jayln grumbled. Kai gave her a firm nod. There was a flash of emerald light, and Tails and Vinny appeared right behind Jayln and Kai. Vinny grinned at Tails, who grinned back.

Vinny poked Kai in the shoulder, whilst Tails poked Jayln's shoulder.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" the two of them yelled. They kicked and punched rapidly behind them, unaware of what they were doing.

"Jayln! Kai! Stop, it's us!" Vinny roared, blocking a kick to his head. Jayln and Kai stopped, looked at each other, and kept attacking Vinny, but not Tails.

"The advantages of bullying...HELP! HELP!" Vinny yelled. Jayln and Kai jumped behind separate trees, Tails gave Vinny a strange look, and Gahlik just looked down and shook his head.

"Hey, my Chao!" Gahlik exclaimed as a creepy, ghost-like Chao landed on his shoulder. Vinny shuddered at the sight of it.

"Ghost, we need to go now!" Gahlik exclaimed. Ghost nodded in apparent delight, happy at the idea.

"You won't be going anywhere..." Flash said as he stepped out of the shadows. In his eyes were pure malice, and a strong hatred.

"Let me guess: another battle, whilst you try and stop us, while we try and stop you?" Vinny asked. Flash nodded, keeping his eyes trained on them.

"Good to know." Kai said as she stepped behind the tree. Jayln followed her, and readied herself to fight.

"What will it take to stop you guys?" Flash said, somewhat annoyed.

And that would be the end of Chapter Two. I'm sorry this was so short, but I have writer's block. I will accept all suggestions, and try to put as many as possible in my story. Please keep reviewing. Later!
