Chapter 2

The next day that afternoon, Sonic was walking through the city thinking to himself. What the hell was that monster last night? Sonic already lost a lot of sleep last night thinking about this, and he still hadn't come up with an answer. It was these times when Sonic would ask Tails for advice. After all, that guy was one of those people who seemed to have all of the answers. Sonic really wished Tails were here right now, but he didn't think he would get his wish in the way he did.

"Look out!"

"Huh?" Sonic looked behind him confused as to who called him. His eyes got wider and wider as something in the sky on a jet pack was heading toward him, fast. "Ahh!!!" he screamed as he dodged to the side, and watched in amazement as the figure dashed past him and he finally got a good view as to who it was.

"Tails?!" he said with an amazed but slightly scared smile for his friend as Tails flew out of his sight towards the beach. It wasn't until he heard the loud "CRASH!!!!" that Sonic got ever so slightly worried. He ran toward the beach hoping that his best friend was okay.

"Not again," was the first thing Tails said as he stared down at his wrecked jet pack. When Sonic saw that he was okay he was relieved. Tails was an orange fox/man who looked about Sonic's age. He was wearing a sleeveless black shirt that showed off his lean muscles, matching black sweat pants, black boots, a black headband, and had a small laser gun at his side. His real name was Miles, but he had earned the nickname "Tails" in the army because of the extra tail he was born with.

The thing Sonic wanted to know though was why Tails was using a jet pack. For as long as Sonic could remember Tails always used his two tails to fly with no problem. He had no idea where he learned the trick, not even Tails remembered. All Sonic knew was that it was a cool trick, one that he wished he could use.

"Tails!" Sonic called out to him. He turned to Sonic with that big friendly smile of his.

"Hey Sonic, uh, sorry for almost crashing into you like that."

"Hey, don't worry about it." He looked at the wrecked machine behind Tails. "Um, I'm afraid to ask, but what the hell is that thing?"

"Oh this? Well," he picked up a piece of the machine, which promptly fell apart, "it was the prototype for my new air travel energy pack. It's designed to allow air born travel at high speeds that almost match you at top speed."

"So, it's a jet pack?"

"It's a jet pack."

"Uh, huh," he just stared at his friend like he was crazy. Tails had this smile like he achieved something major. "I have a question," Sonic finally asked after about a minute.

"Yeah?"

"If you can already fly, why do you need a jet pack?"

"That's simple," Sonic suddenly wished he hadn't asked that question, because when Tails said that then he was about to go on one of his famous rants that sometimes lasted a while. His record was one whole hour, "you see, not everyone can fly without wings, so once I finish it, even you and Knuckles will be ably to use it. Also, even though I can fly, there's a hight limit that even I have to abide by, so with this I'll be able to surpass that hight limit. Finally, while I'm flying, I'm unable to use my Satellite Tri-Laser attack since I need my tails free for that move. But this will elliminate that issue."

"...Oh, okay." he zoned out as per usual. "So my next question is, why did you have such a hard time controlling it? You've never had a hard time with any of your inventions."

"Ah, that's really simple."

"Oh god..."

"I'm serious, this time it is simple," he said as he pulled a small green jewel from the wreckage. The jewel was about the size of a shooter marble and had a strange glow to it.

"No way... you didn't..."

"I did."

"Why would you use a Chaos Emerald as a power source?"

"Come on Sonic, you mean you were never curious as to how much power these things hold? Robotnik is after them, but haven't you ever wondered why? For example, what would happen if a human were to absorb the energy inside of all seven of them.?"

"He or she would probably die from overload."

"Would they? You never know."

"True... Oh, I almost forgot. I was wondering if you could help me out with something." Sonic began telling Tails about the fight he had last night. Tails was pondering what Sonic had told him.

"A monster made of water, huh?" he asked with the smallest edge of skepticism.

"In the world we live in now, anything is possible."

"True," he had to nod on that one. This time three thousand years ago, no one would have thought half human, half animals would exist, yet Sonic and Tails were here, along with about ninety-five percent of earth's population. "Do you have any idea as to what that monster was after?"

"Not even, unless..." he thought to himself, "Hey, where did you get that Chaos Emerald, anyway?"

"I borrowed it from the bank, why?"

"Because I fought that monster in front of the bank. The vault had been destroyed, but all of the gold was still there. So either it really hated that vault, or it wanted something in that vault, that wasn't there."

"And you think that thing was the Chaos Emerald."

"Mm, hm." he nodded.

"Do you think that the monster is with Robotnik?"

"Not sure, yet."

"Then why don't I clear that up!" an old voice said from above. Suddenly Sonic and Tails were attacked by a multitude of lasers. When the smoke cleared they saw a sight that got their blood boiling.

"Robotnik!" they both said in unison.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't my old friends Sonic and Tails," he said as he descended down to them standing on a floating platform.

"What are you after this time?!" Sonic asked in a ferocious tone.

"That should be obvious, I want that Chaos Emerald in your possession! Now be good little boys and hand it over," he said holding out his hand as if expecting them to comply.

"Don't you know I'm known for being a bad boy?" Sonic asked in a taunting manner.

"You're not getting our Emerald that easily!" Tails added.

"Then I'll have to take the Emerald by force!" Robotnik said pushing a button that rose in front of him. Suddenly Sonic and Tails were surrounded by six foot tall crab shaped robots. "Crab-Bots, attack!"

Sonic and Tails stood back to back, Sonic in a fighting stance, Tails with his laser gun out ready to fight the approaching Crab-Bots.

SapphireLibra3: So ends another chapter of Pure Chaos. The next chapter will be almost all fighting so I'm really looking forward to it. (I really hope somebody's reading this. I'll keep writing regardless, but still.)
