I don't own SEGA, Sonic Boom, or grimlock1997.

So, it's been about a week, & 1 day since I posted the 1st chapter of Dark Tails Unleashed, & it's already gotten positive feedback on DeviantArt! So, I hope you're excited to see what happens next in the story.

Enjoy!


Chapter Two Anger & Darkness

As Sonic walked over to Tails, he soon saw that he had just turned around to walk away, but when Tails saw the blue hedgehog, he just sighed irritably & glared at him.

"Uh h-hey Tails" Sonic said, chuckling nervously.

"What do you want, Sonic?" Tails asked, coldly.

Sonic cleared his throat & kept a hold of his flashlight, while slowly approaching Tails carefully.

"I came to see what's been bothering you." Sonic began, "You ignored me, when I tried to call you from Amy's window."

Tails just rolled his eyes in response, & turned around, his back facing away from the blue hedgehog, as he once again looked at the shimmering lake.

"I have every right to ignore you." Tails simply stated, "Now, get lost."

This really got Sonic worried about Tails.

Never once in the years they had known each other has the two-tailed fox ever told Sonic to get lost. If this was going to be resolved peacefully, then Sonic would have to be careful with his words, & try to reason with him.

"Say Tails," Sonic started again, "I think something's bothering you."

"No, there isn't." Tails argued, refusing to turn around.

"Yes, there is." Sonic stated back, "You're just thinking about the times that your inventions have caused trouble for all of us, aren't you?

"Well, what do you think?" Tails asked, "And how did you know that I was talking about you guys?"

"W-Well uh..." Sonic began a bit nervously, "I was searching for you, & I just so happened to hear you talking to yourself, a little bit loudly."

Tails sighed in annoyance at both Sonic, & himself. He really needed to make sure that he spoke to himself more quietly. That would now be his new advice for future reference.

The two-tailed fox still refused to turn around, so he just continued looking out at the lake, while reluctantly talking to Sonic.

"Look, Sonic." Tails began, "I don't want to be bothered anymore, Okay? I just want you to go away & leave me alone."

"Well, that's not going to happen, until I get an answer to my question, first." Sonic responded.

Tails sighed irritably to himself again. He really didn't want to be bothered, tonight.

"What question?" Tails asked, a hint of frustration in his voice.

"The question." Sonic began, concern in his voice, "Is that are you thinking about the mistakes you've made in the past?

The two-tailed fox then finally turned around to face Sonic, his glare still not changing from his expression.

"Yeah." Tails said, "What's it to you, Spikey?"

Sonic heard the word 'Spikey', but he brushed it to the side & continued on with his conversation.

"Tails, you know that we don't mean to be hard on you, like that-" Sonic started, before he was suddenly cut off by the fox.

"Don't mean to be?" Tails asked, anger now in his voice, "Don't give me that pathetic excuse! You guys have always been mean to me & my inventions! Don't try & get out of this, by saying that, you spiny blue-headed moron!"

(My A/N: Didn't Tails JUST SAY Sonic cared for you?!)

Sonic was definitely taken aback by Tails sudden anger, & the insult. He was certainly not expecting his best friend to be like this to him.

"Come on, Tails." Sonic said, "You've got to understand. We don't uh, I mean, we never mean to be critical on your inventions and ideas, buddy."

"Lies!" Tails exclaimed, "You guys are always being horrible to me! Think what you want, but I know the truth!"

"But buddy," Sonic replied, "I know your machines & inventions do tend to malfunction & go wrong on us, but you must understand that we really don't mean to hurt your feelings that way. We can sometimes be a little bit over our heads, & not to mention that we are quick to blame someone on something that goes wrong."

Tails, with anger in his voice, stormed up to Sonic, and looked at him dead in the eyes.

"You wouldn't know everything, if it bit you in the back of your quills!" Tails yelled.

"What are you talking about, Tails?" Sonic asked.

"You don't know what it's like to get your feelings hurt, Sonic..." Tails explained, "But I do! Every day, I've been trying to help you & those stuck-up idiots by creating something that will help get the job done in a faster & easier way! But instead, I'm forced to watch my brilliant designs suffer problems, & then I have got to take in the blame, hurt, criticism & idiocy of Amy, Knuckles & Sticks opinions & harsh comments! I sometimes think that you guys don't ever appreciate me, or respect the hard work that I do for you all!"

Sonic was just standing silently in shock, as he listened in on Tails angry comment. This was really not like the sidekick he knew best.

"Do you know what it's like having to take in all of insults from the other guys?" Tails asked, "Or having to replant a stupid orchard, or having to sing at that karaoke despite winning a bet?! No! You never see the hurt inside of my heart, & it's tearing me up inside!"

The fox continued his rage, as Sonic just continued to listen in silence and shock.

"You know what the problem is, Sonic?" Tails asked, "You guys never give me a chance! A chance to prove on what I'm worth, & what I can do for the team, & try to help you guys out with great ideas! But, I guess you idiots are too stuck up to realize that!"

Tails then finished his conversation, before he turned around & folded his arms over his chest, once again looking out to the water in the lake.

"Now, get lost and leave me alone, Sonic!" Tails stated, "I don't want to be bothered anymore tonight. I don't feel appreciated as it is, right now."

Sonic was just standing in absolute stunned & shocked silence. His own best friend & sidekick had just yelled at him, & told him the reason for why he was thinking about the past mishaps he had caused by accident. The blue hedgehog had never realized on how much this has hurt Tails.

"U-Uh..." Sonic said, rather nervously, "...S-So, when are you coming back to the v-village?"

"I'll come back whenever I feel like it." Tails replied, "I know my ways around the jungle and the routes of the island."

Then, Sonic said something back to Tails, which was something that he really wished that he shouldn't have said.

"Yeah right, you'd have to be a real genius to know all of that." Sonic said, before he stopped and realized his mistake, "Oh crud."

That REALLY did it now.

Tails had just heard the insult that Sonic had mistakenly just said, but that was enough for him to clench his fists & start growling rather lowly. This was definitely the last straw. Sonic was soon hearing his low growl, & saw his body shaking a bit aggressively.

"T-Tails?" Sonic asked, nervously.

(My A/N: And...This was the part where I started to lose my support for Sonic & Tails.)

Then, Tails slowly turned his head around, where his teeth were clenched tightly & the growling was became a bit louder. As he turned to face Sonic, his blue eyes then started changing into dark red, which clearly showed his new anger being created.

"A real genius?" Tails asked, his voice a bit aggressive, before yelling out, "A REAL GENIUS?!"

And suddenly, Tails bright yellow fur was changing into pitch black, where a dark purple aura soon followed with it, making his appearance look really dark & scary. Sonic's eyes were wide with shock & horror, as the blue color on his quills began to fade a little bit. Tails then glared rather hating-ly at the hedgehog, while clenching his fist very tightly, as the darkness began to corrupt his mind.

This was now a darker side of Tails personality.

This was Dark Tails.

Sonic had really put his foot in it, this time, & he had just made Tails very angry with that comment. This is the price that you pay for hurting one's feelings, & when you do that, they turn dark on you.

"I've had enough of being called that!" Tails exclaimed, "Now, you have really pushed it, Sonic!"

"P-Please Tails," Sonic said, pathetically, while walking backwards, "I c-can explain!"

"Oh yeah?" Tails asked , before shouting, "Explain THIS!"

And before Sonic even knew it, Dark Tails then suddenly shot forwards like a lightning bolt & punched the hedgehog right in the side of the face, so hard that it sent him spiraling backwards.

"Gah!" Sonic yelled, as he flew backwards & crashed into another tree in the jungle. He collided with it behind him, & slunk slowly to the ground, & landed on his knees.

"Ughh..." Sonic groaned, rubbing the side of his face & getting up shaken.

He looked up again, only to see Dark Tails walking towards him slowly & menacingly, his dark red eyes glaring & his purple aura flowing around his form. Sonic's quill color was almost completely faded out, just as Knuckles & Amy had predicted.

"Oh Chaos," Sonic thought, "We've really done it, this time. Until he calms down, I'm getting out of here!"

As Sonic got up & immediately blasted off at speed, Dark Tails watched this & just glared after him. He then looked at his arm, which showed that his fur was pitch black, & glowing with purple aura. He had never before felt so alive, & he was certainly going to enjoy using this form & it's dark energy.

As the full moon then revealed itself from behind the trees, Dark Tails then looked up at the apparent camera (HE'S LOOKING AT YOU!), which showed his dark red eyes glimmering with vengeance & his dark purple aura surrounding him.


End of Chapter Two

I hope this didn't scare you. Chapter 3 will be out tomorrow. Bye.

(Not saying "Peace OUT!" because I'm still scared from this chapter...Also because it's getting a bit old.)
