Okay. I know this is my second chapter of this fic, but my friend pressured me into doing this and I gotta say, it wasn't easy. Yeah, if you find something's that are repeated from the first chapter, that's because I was low on material. Sorry 'bout that. Oh, and one more thing, we are ignoring the whole, "Shadow is 50 years older than everybody." So here are their current ages: Sonic 15, Tails 8, Knux 16, Amy 13, Shadow 19, and Cream 6.

Any way on with the fic!

I don't own any characters.

Chapter 2: Shadow Appears!

Oblivious to where he was going, Sonic ran farther and farther away from civilization and his friends. Tears ran down his face for realizing what he could've done to Tails if he had not regained his sanity. Everything was a blur to him, the ground passing by, and the trees disappearing from his eyesight. All the while all Sonic could think have been his dark side.

-Inside the Void- (AKA Sonic's mind)

Sonic stood in the middle of complete blackness. Darkness was all that was here. The only light here was that emitting off of Sonic's pure heart.

"Sonic…." An intimidating voice called out.

"What? Who's there?" The cobalt blue hedgehog demanded as he looked around.

"Why it's only me." A dark figure then came forth from the shadows. A hedgehog, dark navy blue in fur, pupil less eyes and had Sonic's red track shoes, with a dark aura apparent, appeared. Sonic gasped and fell back in shock, "D-D-Dark Super…," was all the stunned hedgehog could say.

"Yes, it is I, Dark Super Sonic. Your one and only dark form." DSS laughed.

"But how…." Sonic backed away from his approaching sinister side.

"Ever since you had awoken me on that faithful day in space, I've had a need to explore this world around you, and cause destruction. But I cannot, since I'm stuck in this body of yours."

"S-So what are you planning to do?" Sonic asked.

"Nothing, I'll just wait for you to get angry again…." DSS then disappeared, his laughter still echoing.

"Wait!" Sonic shouted into the darkness. But nothing answered.

-Outside the Void-

A river became noticeable not too far off from where Sonic was. Its rushing waters churned against the sides of the river. Sonic came to an abrupt halt at the water's edge. He leaned over and just stared at his reflection in the liquid matter. And for a moment, he though he saw DSS staring right at him, grinning.

"Hey, Faker!"A voice yelled, snapping Sonic out of his trance. Sonic looked up to see Shadow on the other side of the river, and in his hand was a platter of chili dogs, still steaming.

"Shadow? What are you doing with my chili dogs?!" Sonic yelled loud enough so Shadow could hear him.

"What else would I be doing with food? I'm going to eat it." Shadow had a serious tone in his voice.

"Why don't you get your own?!" Sonic started to get mad.

"Because getting yours would be a lot cheaper." Shadow reasoned. He then started to eat the chili dogs, one bite at a time. "And a whole hell of a lot tastier."

Sonic was furious. He wanted to beat the shit out of Shadow right now, but his hydrophobia wouldn't let him reach him.

Shadow, on the other hand, was enjoying two things: Sonic's chilidogs and watching sonic get angry across the river.

Sonic was trying to figure out how to get to Shadow and beat him up. But also how to retain his anger before DSS emerged.

But it was too late….

BOOM! Sonic's fur darkened and he now had no pupils. He was now DSS.

Upon seeing Sonic's transformation, Shadow choked on a chilidog, and he realized something.

"Gah! Sonic what are you?" Shadow said after swallowing. You're my… brother?!

DSS only narrowed his eyes at the ebony hedgehog across the river and disappeared.

"Where are you?" Shadow asked, aghast.

"Here!" Shadow looked up to see DSS coming down on him; he apparently jumped over the running waters. Shadow moved out of the way just before DSS landed on where he was standing. "Well, Shadow, let's see what you're made of!" DSS shouted at Shadow, who was still in shock of what happened.

(Back at the Mystic Ruins)

Tails called Knuckles and Amy over to his home to tell them what happened.

"…and that's when Sonic got mad, turned all dark and attacked me."

Amy was in disbelief of what she just heard and Knuckles was… just Knuckles.

"Well, what are you planning to do?" Knuckles questioned.

"Just follow him and see what happens, I guess…." Tails then ran outside to where the Tornado was stationed. The sun reflected off of it, making it seem as if it was a sign of hope. The cool blue matched with the electrifying yellow. Knuckles and Amy followed and stared at Tails as he boarded the plane. "You guys comin'?"

"Sure, got nothing better to do," Knuckles quickly said and hopped into one of the planes seats. "How 'bout you, Amy?"

"Of course, I'll go for Sonikku." She ran and got into the last seat and they were off.
