Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, now onto the review replies.
HyperShanic01: It took one week to make it, and then almost another week to edit it, though good editing takes time.
theredone1223: I had a good time writing the part, it was darker than the rest, and this fic is only going to get darker and darker… but then happy! But then darker…
NUTCASE71733: Your right! (takes a step forward, but then stops,) but I think Sonic should stop him, (looks at Sonic,
) well, go on… (Sonic walks off, but then says, 'chicken')
Count X. Gamlxltoe Nightmare: Yeah, though let's hope Miles did it right or Sonic is going to have a really bad week with all the infection.
Northernmegas: I can't give a real answer yet, it would seem that something like him would want to start chaos then stop it, hopefully your question will be answered in the next chapter. Oh thank for the advice.
Faermage-KH Junkie : Lets just hope Miles will live through this chapter.
The Conflicted Writer: I've always had trouble with the word 'where', hopefully I can get better.
First, I would like to thank Michael for Beta Reading this chapter.
Next, The Conflicted Writer, for letting me use his idea. I'll tell what it was at the end of the chapter
Chapter 7: The Chaos in Motion pt1
I got up early the next morning to take a stop at Miles place, just to tell him something about my powers. Plus, I had something on my mind like, maybe I will go to the dance that's coming up, though even if I do who will I take, or will I just go alone? As you could see I had a bunch on my mind, anyway, when I got there I noticed some police cars parked right outside the house across from Miles'. I walked up to the police tape where a policeman was currently asking questions to a woman, she looked really beaten up; bruises everywhere, cuts, looks like she bled a ton too.
"Will you please tell us what happened?" asked the police officer.
"I told you; a young boy threw the door open, and started beating my husband. Just one punch sent him to the floor, then he walked to me and started hitting me. He was saying something like, 'must stop the chaos'."
The police man looked at her skeptically, "So you're saying a young boy beat two full grown adults?"
She nodded, though something was bothering me. I don't know why, maybe it was the police cars parked in front of Miles house as well!
I ran over to his house, a policeman taking notes as his Grandma cried into her hands, his Grandpa was telling the police officer something that happened last nigh. I noticed Cream with a policewoman, I walked over to her, but the policewoman saw me.
"Hold on young man, who are you?"
"I'm a friend of hers, my name is Sonic," I said, the policewoman frowned a bit, but then stepped aside.
I walked past her, got down to my knees and looked at Cream, "Hey Cream, do you know where Miles is?"
She looked at me with tear filled eyes, "He is not Miles."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I saw him in the neighbor's house, hurting them," Cream said, but then she started crying and then ran to her grandmother.
I sat up to think, what did she mean by 'he is not Miles?'
I thought for a couple minutes, when I got this sick feeling. I ran back home, threw open the door to my room, opened my dresser where I put the serum… and noticed that one was missing.
I turned to Tikal who was still asleep; I walked to her then started shaking her, trying to wake her up.
"Wake up! I said wake up!" She didn't move one bit, I would have said she was dead if it wasn't for her breathing.
"What am I supposed to do now?" I asked myself as I sat down at the edge of my bed.
"What are you going to do just sit here and hope that someone will find him?"
I sat up and looked across the room, there was my brother standing right near the window.
"How are you here?" I asked taking a step forward.
"Yeah, I'm here because you're here." Michael answered as he leaned against the wall.
"W- What?"
"Only you can see me, I can vanish as fast as I came," after he said that he vanished, then I heard a voice behind me, "cute girl how old is she, sixteen, seventeen?"
I turned to my bed to see Michael standing by Tikal. I smiled, happy that he didn't leave, "At least, maybe older."
Then Michael got and walked to me, "Anyway your friend is in trouble, and it's up to you to find him."
"How?" I asked, as if I was just waiting for my head to smack me across the forehead.
Just like I said, he smacked me across the forehead, "Are you stupid or something, you have these amazing powers and you can use them to help him. Turn to that blue rat and find him."
I froze for a second and then smiled evilly, "Now it's my turn."
I smacked him on the forehead, he stepped back in surprise, "I'm a Human/Hedgehog, not a rat."
"Yeah whatever, anyway the more you stand here and waste time, your friend is getting into more trouble," Michael retorted.
"Right, I better get looking then," but as I turned to leave there was something I wanted to ask, "Hey Michael if this is coming from my mind, then why do you look as old as you should be?"
He smiled, "That's for me to know, and you to find out."
He snapped his fingers, and then vanished. Thousand of thoughts filled my head, though I didn't have time to think much on them, I had to find Miles.
Bam!
Dart went flying into a building wall, he shrugged off the pain then got up, how on earth could this boy send me flying in one hit?!
Dart stood up looking at the young boy, whose eyes were bright yellow. But more importantly: there was an image of a creature that was making every move that the boy did, almost as if he was controlling him.
Then a cold non human voice rang into his head, Stand aside servant of the Master Emerald, I most teach these people not to make chaos. Dart looked at the two children hiding in a corner and glared.
"But all they did was push each other," Dart said.
"From pushing someone on the sidewalk… to pushing someone out of a window, this human has caused chaos, they must stop."
"That's crazy! You can't hurt young children for just playing a little hard!" Dart yelled.
"If you are going to stand in my way, you are no better than those humans." The boy rushes at Dart with inhuman speed, Dart blocks the blow, then counters with a punch to the gut.
The boy stepped back in shock but barely faced with the punch, though he bent down to the ground, and then waves of the blue goop went at Dart knocking him of his feet.
"Our master has left the care of this planet in the hand of this? I'll make him pay for what he did to me," said the boy as he turned and jumped onto a building, "If the people of this world will not stop from hurting one another, I will stop them."
The boy started running away, Dart got up and made sure the two children were okay.
"How did that boy have the image of him, unless… Sonic!" Dart yelled, his anger grew quickly, how could Sonic not get it back from his friend? Saying that is his friend. Dart thought as he transformed back in a near by bathroom, I'll head to his school to find him then talk to him about this.
Ok, I searched the parts where Miles' could be, and everyone says the same thing, 'no I have not seen Miles today, is he sick?'
The next places to search is advance physics, and advance math.
I ran through the hall and into the advance physics class, no one saw him. So I tried the advance math, and I walk in as they were in the middle of class, so that got me a trip to the principle's office.
It took me ten minutes to get out of the office and I had no leads to where Miles was, I sat down on the bench and hit my head against my book bag, which made a quick yelp like noise. Oh the Raccoon was still in here, I'll have to call animal control.
I put my book bag down and thought, where on earth Miles could be? Though it was hard to think with the bullies picking on somebody across the hall… wait a minute, I recognize that voice!
I sat up to see two really big guys throw a certain blond girl across the hall.
"Maria!" As I ran down the two bullies must have noticed me because they started to run at me too.
I couldn't stand it anymore, I've stopped many people from killing, I've been shot, I faced things most fifteen year olds don't, I wasn't going to lose to a couple lowlife bullies that have nothing to do than pick on you all day!
I ducked low and knocked the biggest one off his feet, making him fall hard. The other one didn't expect to see little Sonic Suai do a move like that, so he lunged himself at me. I easily moved out of the way and slammed my fist into his back, however I forgot that he was bigger and more built than me so it was like punching a wall. He turned around and tried to sock me, I ducked and kicked him the stomach which caused him to double over and fall on his knees. I stood in front of Maria ready to fight again, so were the bullies, fine by me I needed to vent some anger.
"Hey," A voice called from behind the bullies.
The bullies turned around and I got to see who the mysterious voice was and felt sick, it was Sora Shimomura. He was wearing his usual brown leather jacket and blue jeans, a white t-shirt under it and his brown hair slightly obscured his left eye.
"Hey Sora," One of the guys chuckled, "Come on and help us out, little Suai can actually fight."
I'm going to have to fight Sora too? Oh man… I thought, but remained in my stance. Sora however looked at me and down at Maria, he stared at her for awhile and looked at the two bullies and said something that astonished me.
"No."
The bullies were also surprised, they looked at each other and back at Sora as if he was joking, "Yeah funny, now come on and help!"
Sora walked up to the first bully and stared him in the eye and said, "I said no, I will not help you beat him up just so you could kick around some girl you can't have."
"O-Oh yeah!" The bully stared back, "It looks like the great Sora Shimomura is nothing but a coward!"
Sora raised an eyebrow and sighed, he removed his jacket and stood in front of him with his hands behind his back.
"Hit me," He said, staring at him, "Come on, try to punch me."
The one bully looked at the other and back at Sora, his fist twitched slightly and his arm pulled back slightly as if to sock him. However, he did punch him. Several minutes passed but he did not try to hit him, Sora frowned at him and sighed.
"Just as I thought: you are a bully and you will never amount to anything in this, or any other world, now go," He grabbed the one guy's shirt collar and pushed him down the hall.
Once the two of them were gone he turned to me and simply said, "You don't need to thank me for that one."
He turned away from me, picked up his jacket and walked down the hall. He walked right out of the school doors and left me and Maria in the hall.
I turned to Maria and helped her off the ground, "Are you ok, did they hurt you?"
"Other than some bruised knees, I'm fine," She replied as she picked up some of her books.
"Do you often get picked on?" I asked as I helped pick up the rest of her books.
"N- No…" I could tell she was lying, mostly because she stuttered and then turned away from me.
Man, what a bad day this has been, I didn't have anytime to press her, I had to find Miles. I turned to the exit now knowing that he was not here, and now I had to search the city, though I suddenly I realized I wanted to ask her something.
"Hey Maria, I thinking… do you want to-" though I was cut off when the door to the schools was thrown open, and Dart walking in: his nostrils flaring, eyes narrowed and menacing, I could hear him growling from when he was outside, (I thought it was some machine running actually.)
"I'm sorry Miss Robotnik, I'm going to have to borrow your boyfriend, come on!" Dart grabbed me by the ear and started to drag me outside.
"Hey, ow! Ah, I'll be back in a couple minutes," then a harder yank suddenly told me that I was going to be gone a lot longer, "Ok, maybe a couple hours!"
Then one last yank got me outside.
"Hey, why the heck did you just do that?!" I asked why rubbing my poor ear.
"Did you find all the serums!?" He yelled as he slammed me against the wall, and then I noticed that everything hurt more as a Human.
"Yes I did, but one must have fallen out because I can't find it… or my friend, I have a bad feeling he got into one of them…"
Dart dropped me then moved over and sat in some grass, "I saw your friend, and he did get into one of the serums…"
"So is he a Hedgehog, or something?" I asked why sitting beside him.
"No…" He replied.
"Then is he a; Tiger, Lion, Rat, Cobra, Ape, Cat, Dog, Cat?"
"No and… did you say 'Cat' twice?" He asked, causing me to recall what I said exactly, and nodded.
"Well, try Chaos…" I ran over every animal I knew, though I knew none by the name Chaos.
"Never heard of it, does it eat meat?" I asked, though Dart just gave me a confused look.
"I can't tell you much about it because I only know a little, but along time ago, in the ruins where Tikal lives, there was a creature by the same name of Chaos. But he was devoted to stopping chaos without hurting anyone, it can't be the same thing..."
"I don't understand," I said, trying to find out what he's talking about.
"Inside the serum is a bit of himself, that's what makes the process go faster. Though he can take over you and use you as a host, to stop every little chaos there is."
"That doesn't sound that bad, other then him taking over you," I said.
"He was going to beat to kids to the brink of death," Dart replied quickly.
"Oh I see…" I said, thinking of what he could be doing to all those people, "Is there a way to get this thing out of him?"
"None that I know, though Tikal might," Dart replied.
"Yeah, the only problem is she still asleep," I said, sighing.
"Hmmmmmm, you have to get her awake, try whatever it takes, I'm going to find your friend," Dart said as he stood up.
"Ok, though I already tried, I'll see if I can get her up," I stood up with him.
I knew I was going to get in trouble for leaving the school, though there were much more important things then just school, and I'm sure that's been an excuse for kids ever since school was made.
I turned to leave to my house when Dart stopped me.
"Sonic take this," he reaches into a pack and pulled out a two walkie-talkies, "So I can tell you when I find your friend and where to go."
I nodded, grabbed a walkie-talkie, and then left.
After ten minutes of running I finally made it to my house, noticed that my Mom's car was still there, she must have forgot something, or she came back for lunch. Ok I'll just climb over the gate then climb up the drain pipe. I ran up to the fence, climbed over it to my backyard which was nice looking for a house in the city, with a small pound that was shaded by two large trees, a couple wind chimes, and flower garden lining the fence.
I quickly started climbing the drain pipe to the roof then slowly walked to my window, hoping I kept it unlocked from when I was waiting for Dart. Luckily it was, I opened it up, looked into the room to see if my Mom came in. No one was here other than Tikal, I walked over to her and tried to nudge her awake.
"Tikal wake up, I need your help, my friend got into the Chaos serum, and we don't know how to help him…" after I said that she moved a bit, (which through the time she was here she never moved a bit,) "Yes, I'll transform before she wakes up so we can get going right away."
I quickly got up, pulled off my shirt, then my pants, so I was in my underwear and I was about… er, you know, when I heard I gasp of shock. I turned to see Tikal awake and looking at me with wide eyes, so I did one thing that any young, dorky guy would do: I screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" that was the wrong thing to do, because I heard my Mom.
"Sonic is that you, why are you home?!" She yelled from downstairs.
"Yes it's me Mom, I had to, uhhh… get something!" I yelled back.
"Really, I don't remember you coming in," she said as I heard her getting closer.
I had to think quickly, "You don't? You let me in."
"Really? Then what are you doing?" She asked, she was now at the door.
"I felt sick, and I threw up everywhere, I still may." I said as I held the door shut.
"Then let me come in," she said was about to open the door.
"Ahhh, no! I'm feeling better!" I locked the door, and knew it wouldn't be long untill she unlocked it, "I'm heading back to school."
"Sonic, let me in now!" She yelled, getting very impatient.
I jumped into the bathroom and transformed, then Tikal sat up from the bed and walked over to me, "What is wrong?"
I was about to answer when I heard my Mom call out in anger, "Is there a girl in there with you?!"
"No, you're hearing things!" I turned to Tikal and whispered, "I'll tell you everything, as soon as we get out of here."
She nodded and we walked over to the window and climbed out, "We need to get out of here fast, so hold on."
"What—," She began before I picked her up and jumped onto the street and began to run. I think a couple people saw me, though as soon as I gained speed I was nothing but a blue blur.
We sat down on a building top, waiting for Dart to call us saying he found him, though I had to finish telling Tikal about what happened.
"After we brought you to my house, I went back to see what they wanted, I found a serum, it was called the Chaos serum," I saw Tikal flinch at the name, "After I went to there I had to take a stop at my friend house. I think I might have left one of the serums with him, and it took over him, I don't know how to get it out of him, neither does Dart, so we hoped you knew how?"
"I do… though it's very painful…" She said looking down to the ground.
"I'm sure Miles is in more pain now, let's hurry and get it out of him," I said.
"It's not painful to him, it will be painful to the person to take him to the Alter…"
"What do you mean by that?" I asked with a little worry in my voice.
"Sonic it takes—," though she was cut off when the radio crackled.
"Sonic, this is Dart… I found him."
That it, please review, comment, ideas, and advice are wanted, but flames are not, now onto the ending notes.
The Conflicted Writer came up with the part of Michael helping Sonic, believe it or not, I originally planed for him to only come once.
Authors note: I know it's lame do say this but, every little bit you do helps, whether it's helping someone across the street, or helping loading groceries into the car, it all counts. At least that what my Mom says, that's my note for this chapter.
