Okay guys!

I really loved A rose with a dark secret, That's why I'm making a sequel! :3

But, I want to have this story perfected, I want to have longer chapters! I want it to be very formal, I guess… XD

So sorry for having shorter chapters before, I was just rushing. After all, this is my first fanfiction!

This does mean chapters won't be coming out as much, but hey...they're longer and better!~

Dark Kingdom's Dungeon (Sonic's POV) May 13th 3:29 PM

"Wow, I didn't know you two were lovers."

My heart stopped when I heard that voice, my reaction was a quick reflex as I grabbed Amy quickly and put her behind me as I protected her from the figure. I then put my fist up with my legs in a fighting stance facing towards the 'thing' that had spoke. I heard Amy with a slight whimper from her lips "Sonic! Calm down! She's a friend!"

My ears twitched, the atmosphere had changed completely. At first, everything was all dark and grim, but now it's changed. That nightmare was terrible...Amy had asked me what it was about, but I don't really want to talk about it, or even remember it for chaos' sake!

I growled as the thoughts circled in my head, How was my dark side...another entity? What did he do to me? And…

Maurice.

That name, I don't want to hear that again, it's completely unbearable for me. I feel a burning rage inside me that won't die out, why is that? I decided to put the thought aside as I returned back to reality.

I maybe stood there in thought in a fighting stance for too long. Amy had put her soft and warm hand on my shoulder that was completely calming for me. "Sonic, are you alright?"

I sighed as I hugged her, I had been left in that place for too long. I just wanted to be with her, she was my light in the darkness. "Yea, I'm ok…"

Before Amy could react, the figure then spoke up. "I'm sorry did I interrupt this moment?" The voice sounded...sour, I didn't like it. I felt like I wanted her to just disappear, I don't know why this thought is coming to me, I guess I'm just being overprotective towards Amy.

I refused to respond to her as I let go of Amy and looked away with my arms crossed. Why did she even have to come in here? Everything was perfect, It was just me and my cute, sweet princess.

I could tell Amy and the woman were looking at me with confused looks. Amy sighed and held my hand and stroked it with her thumb. "Zara, can you give him and I, a minute please?" I heard the woman whose name was, I'm guessing 'Zara,' giggled and exited the room and shut the metallic door that echoed throughout the rusted room.

As soon as I heard the door shut, my voice suddenly raised a bit too harshly. "Where are we?"

Amy sighed worriedly and she walked in front of me so we could talk face to face. "Sonic, you're acting really strange." She totally ignored my question before, this one didn't matter.

"Ames, please, where are we?" I asked with a fond voice this time, as I must've scared her before. I heard no reply from her as she looked down "Were in the Dark Kingdom, my old home."

I scratched my head as I looked at her, curiosity filled my head as I decided to ask another question. "Wait, how did I end up here?"

Amy merely just shrugged and looked at me in the eye. "I have no idea, but do you have any idea how worried I was!" My ears twitched at her soft yelling. "Sonic! I've searched all day for you! Why did you scream at Cream and just run away?!" When she mentioned Cream, I looked down.

I put my hand up to my face "I guess I was just tired…"

Amy then hugged me gently and put her face in my chest. "Sonic, something is wrong...You were unconscious and according to your caretaker, you were crying and screaming when they found you…"

Amy's words hit me like a truck. So that's why I'm here…"

Amy was still talking as she hugged me tight, in which I was hugging back. "Th-they said you were having ch-chest pains..." It sounded as if she was crying a little, it was a little muffled as she was talking into my chest, in fact it felt a bit wet.

I gently let go of her and held her by the shoulders as we looked into each other's eyes. It was no doubt Amy was quite upset, her eyes had fresh tears and some tear marks on her cheeks. Amy spoke up as she sobbed, "S-Sonikku...I really care about y-you, please tell m-me what's wrong with y-you…"

Seeing her like this, it broke my heart, I didn't want Amy to feel horrible. Especially if it's something I did, I put my finger up to her mouth and shushed her gently. "Shhhh" I leaned in close and kissed her on her soft lips. They felt amazing and tasted that way too! They were like strawberries, her lips were way better than chili-dogs!

If she could pull that trick on me to calm me down, then I could too, I guess it's just couple instincts.

Our lips collapsed and Amy looked down and smiled with compassion as she sighed. I kneeled down and lifted her chin up and wiped her tears away gently as I smiled kindly. Amy giggled "Are you sure you're fine?"

I lifted her up bridal style "I'm Sonic, have I ever doubted anyone or anything? Don't worry, I'm fine! I think I just fell on my chest! So what if I was a baby about it!"

Amy giggled some more, her giggle was the most heavenly thing I have ever heard in my life. It was filled with kindness, sweetness, and joy. But something deep down made me think that Amy wasn't over it.

I walked over to the door and set Amy down as I opened the door formally, "Ladies first." This caused Amy to laugh. "Just because I'm royalty doesn't mean you have to treat me like it." I decided to give a joking comeback "Yes, princess Amelia."

Amy and I kept passing each other funny jokes and our laughs echoed throughout the dungeon. I guess it attracted attention because before we knew it, the dungeon dweller was before us.

The dweller had a cape with a hood over his head so it was hard to see his face under the ebony shade.

Amy and I's laughter died down and we looked at the grim reaper-like dweller, I decided to speak up. "Uh, thanks for taking care of me…"

The dweller only nodded and took of his hood to show his face. It seemed he was a yellow hedgehog, but he had a scar on his right eye. He looked really kind too, even though his scar was threatening.

The dweller chuckled "Of course! I would do it for any of Amelia's friends!" Amy looked at me with a happy face and I grinned right back as I then looked to the hedgehog. "Wait, how did you know that I was her friend?"

The hedgehog dweller tilted his head, "Well, the day you guys saved all of us! I saw you with princess Amelia and you two just, well, left with a strange beam of energy as you kissed!"

I nodded and sweatdropped "That would be chaos control…" The hedgehog just laughed and changed to a fond face when he looked at Amy. She seemed to be pretty guilty as she looked at the ground. "I'm sorry for leaving you guys, I guess the event hit me like a tonne of bricks, so I forgot about the kingdom."

The hedgehog watched me as I went to comfort my love, and he looked down. "It's alright princess, we had Zara to take care of all of us." Amy looked up with hope and she held my hand. "I'll have to thank her later, Oh! I totally forgot! What's your name mister?"

The hedgehog bowed down to Amy "Larence." Amy nodded with excitement "Hello Larence!" I was starting to lose my patience as I crossed my arms and tapped my foot. Larence looked at Amy and smiled "Greetings, Princess." Amy smiled back and looked at me with a fond smile. "Sonic, does your chest still hurt?" I shaked my head in reaction and smiled at her.

Larence looked at me. "By any chance, do you remember anything when you had those pains." The second he mentioned remember my pupils shrunk a little in fear and I stepped back, only to hit the wall behind me. "Uhh, sorry, I can't remember anything."

Larence only nodded, accepting my answer, but Amy stared at me with a worried look, I knew that she knew I was lying. I sighed "Ames, it's getting late, shouldn't we go home?" Amy's face turned from worried to excited. "Awww, c'mon Sonikku~ I haven't shown you around the kingdom!"

As said Amy grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs, leaving a confused yellow hedgehog behind. "What...just...happened?"

GUN Headquarters (Shadow's POV) May 13th 11:39 AM

I was sitting in the darkest part of the conference room. Most of the soldiers were running around, trying to get ready for their little announcement. It was completely pathetic watching all of them running around like complete freaks. It wasn't even that important! According to them it is, I'm guessing...

I cross my arms and scoff at no one in particular, it's just what I do. I started to grow quite tired, I guess all of this is stressing me more than I already am. It's pretty weird how the ultimate lifeform can get exhausted, even from stress. I leaned against the wall and shut my eyes, I wonder what people will think of me?

Hmph...I don't care.

Just when I was about to enter dreamland, I heard two steel doors open, after that, I just heard silence. Curiosity reached me and I decided to open my left eye to see the commotion. The commander was standing in front of the conference table scanning the room for someone.

For a few seconds of tense hide n' seek, I heard the commander speak up. "Have any of you seen Agent Shadow?"

Before I could answer his question, everyone pointed their fingers at me. I felt rage build inside me "Don't any of you pathetic humans know it's not polite to point fingers!"

After that, it was just silent all around the room, I clear my throat and walk over to the commander. "You wanted to see me, Sir." The commander stood tall in triumph, "Agent Shadow, I need to talk to you, it's urgent."

I cross my arms and nod. The commander then replied, "Good, follow me."

As said, the commander walked out of the conference room as I followed, leaving the soldiers behind as they went back to work.

GUN Headquarters was actually decent in size, it was nice for my liking, and that's saying something. It takes awhile to even get from one location to the next, luckily chaos control does the job like a charm.

I decided to be formal and just walk to wherever we were going with the commander.

After a few minutes of walking we reached the location, it had two metal doors much like the conference room. Except these had the label, Control Room.

The commander clapped his hands twice and the doors opened. "What does he have? Some sort of secret clap code?" I put the thought aside and walked in along with the commander. "So, why have you brought me here, Sir?"

The commander put on a serious face as he pointed to a hologram that had red blurs across a globe, no, the whole globe was red. According to instincts, I knew this wasn't a good situation.

The commander sighed. "Agent Shadow, there have been some...disturbances." I decided to listen more, instead of ask. "They have been taking place all across Mobius." Then it came to me "What kind of disturbances?" the commander looked down. "We've tried to see what it was, but nothing shows up, just static. Then it came to me, I'm going to tell you this, and you only."

I put my hand on my chin "Go on." The commander only used his hand to show a follow me sign. I sighed and the commander exited the room along with me as I followed again. The commander then did his clap trick and an secret elevator appeared from inside the wall. "Are there things in this base that you're not telling me, Sir?"

The commander only chuckled as he walked in and I followed. "Yes, but I'm afraid you are going to learn one thing that you don't know."

When I walked in, I was hit with all of this techno-crap, there were buttons all over the walls and blinking lights at the bottom and top as well. How did someone not get a seizure from this? I saw the commander press all of these button in a way that seemed odd to me, but it soon started to go down as the doors shut.

It was a long way down, most likely a two-minute ride. The rage consumed me again "Is this thing going to the center of Mobius or what?!"

The commander only smirked and I shook my head. "He knows something I don't." After about three minutes downward I heard a ding, and the door opened.

The room that was ahead of me was truly pathetic. It was only a room with a computer screen and a test tube that had a screen around it, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Where are we?"

The commander looked at me and smirked once again. "This is the secret underground research facility." I sighed. "It looks pretty small, don't you think?" The commander went up to the computer and started it up and looked back at me "Yes, only because I'm the only one who comes down here, or even knows."

I couldn't argue, it made sense, I guess…

I crossed my arms and watched "Sir, what is this about?" The commander sighed "I was afraid you would never ask."

The commander showed the screen to me and I read the article shown for at least a minute. After a while, I sighed and looked at the ground. The commander patted my back as if I was a child, which enraged me, and I think I knew why. "I can't believe this, it was under our noses the whole time."

The commander sighed. "I had the same thought, this disturbance seems to be inside the victims, that of which, being everyone on the planet, even you Shadow."

"But what does this mean? What is this disturbance?" The commander looked away, "It seems to be...a dark essence, and it seems to anger the host, of course that of being stupid and ludicrous things such as the elevator, or people pointing."

I growled and pointed at him. "You know it's rude to point! And you had the same thought on the eleva- wait, why aren't you affected by this essence?"

The commander chuckled, "Not everyone has been affected, luckily one of those mobians was me."

I huffed in rage "Hmph."

The commander sighed and looked at the test tube. "Unfortunately, some mobians have been affected severely." The commander then pressed a button, and the screen started to lift. I caught sight of feet moving at the bottom and then I heard bangning on the glass. The figure was soon fully shown, and it was quite startling.

It was a purple weasel with blood dried on his face and body and he seemed, out of control. Almost as if he were, insane.

The commander tapped the glass and the weasel growled and lunged at him, but hit the wall obtaining him. "It seems, the anger of the host is out of control, most are rarely affected this way, but this makes them seem insane...almost murderous.

I shook my head and pointed at the weasel "Do you really think that an assembly will stop that!"

The commander looked up with triumph and stood up straight. "It doesn't hurt to try, Agent Shadow"

Tails' Workshop (Tails' POV) May 13th 11:23 AM

I've been working on the X-Treme Tornado, almost the whole morning with no break. I think I might deserve one, I might just go and visit Knuckles and Rouge.

I stopped and pondered at my own request for a break. "Should I? You never know they could've had- OK! I'm going!" I flew upstairs and grabbed a towel to wipe off the excess oil that was covered on my fur.

After that, I was about to take off on the original Tornado that Sonic and I had used during our earliest adventures. Those were good times...the memories seemed so distant now that Eggman was gone. Honestly I missed the past, I do get really angry now just thinking of it.

"Why did Amy have to kill Eggman, at least that would give us something fun to do!" I don't know why anger consumes me now, I decided to shake off the bad thoughts and be positive.

I sighed and turned on the Tornado and the rotors started to turn. I missed the sound of the old rotors, it was like music to my ears, I liked it!

I started to take off and the ground below me started to become smothered from the heavens above, at least from my view, that's what it seemed like.

The wind felt so smooth from up here, oh the joys. I can understand how Sonic feels when he runs, the wind felt great on your face. The way it flows through your fur, I really enjoyed it.

The clouds looked like nice and fluffy marshmallows, it made me hungry, the toast I had ate wasn't much. I felt like jumping right on the pillows, in which were clouds and just sleep upon them.

After a while of flying on the good ol' Tornado, I finally caught sight of a floating chunk of land in the distance. "Ah, there she is, Angel Island!"

I pressed a button which deployed the landing gear as I was coming close to ground. I saw a huge house, most likely a huge mansion. I guess Rouge wanted to give Knuckles an upgrade, it's better than no house at all, he didn't even have one!

I will say, it does look weird seeing a huge modern house like that in the woods. But if they were happy about it, then that's fine by me!

It seemed as if the Master Emerald was sitting on its altar, unguarded. I bet a thug could just sneak right up and steal it from under their noses. But after all, there hasn't been anything serious happening at all. I will say, it does get boring with no Eggman. I think Sonic felt the same way, he just doesn't like being negative though, he can't hide it forever.

I finally landed on the ground. It was hard to now since the house was in the way. The sound must've been loud because before I knew it Knuckles and Rouge were right beside me. Of course it was loud, it was a plane!

Knuckles grinned at me. "Hey, Tails, long time no see!"

I put my fist out and in which Knuckles punched it gently making a fist bump. "Hey, Knuckles! I think I can say the same!"

Rouge stood there watching with her hand on her hip and then greeted me. "How are you doing, Tails?" Rouge did change quite a bit, she still worked with GUN, but would always be by Knuckles' side. I think she was less sassy? I couldn't tell.

"I'm doing fine Rouge! I just started on a new project!" Rouge just patted my head. "How about you come inside sweetie~ you can tell us all about it inside."

I couldn't decline the offer, I guess Rouge was more caring now. "I'd like that, thanks!"

As said, we all walked inside, but Knuckles stopped before we entered, leaving Rouge go on ahead. He looked at the Master Emerald and sighed.

Instincts came to me, as I stuck my hand out onto his shoulder. "Knuckles, is there something wrong?" Knuckles took one last glance at the emerald and then looked at me. "I know it's weird but, I kinda miss guarding that thing. I wonder what my tribe would think of me." I smiled "Knuckles, I'm sure they would praise you, you guarded that thing your whole life, I think it's time for a break. Now, c'mon let's go get settled with your love."

Knuckles looked down as I mentioned love. "About that, I, uh, kinda got angry and yelled at her." I facepalmed, he never changes… "Well, make up…"

Knuckles looked at me and smirked. "Oh, I see! Thanks Tails! You always know best!" Knuckles patted my back and walked inside as I followed behind.

Once I entered, my jaw dropped. The house was amazing! There were so many jewels! I'm guessing that was Rouge's doing.

When I say many jewels, I mean it. Jewels were decorated all around. They were on the counter, some were scattered in corners! And the variety was humongous as well. There were rubies, diamonds, amethyst, emeralds! You name it!

I entered the kitchen and, oh chaos… it was solid gold.

Knuckles was sitting at the counter, reading a magazine and Rouge was cooking, while singing a nice melody.

Honestly I'd say they had it all, a nice house, tons of money, and of course they had each other!

I sat down by Knuckles on the solid gold chair, it wasn't bad actually. I asked curiously "So, is this 24 carat?" Knuckles then mocked an alarm on a gameshow when you get an answer correct. Rouge replied to my question in a sing-song voice "Your right Tails! Most of this stuff, was from GUN, and some was from, you know, business!"

Knuckles leaned close to my ear and whispered. "She stole the rest." I nodded my head in understanding, yep, Rouge hasn't changed that part of her.

"So, Tails? What's that new project of yours?" I heard Rouge ask over Knuckles and I's snickering. "Oh, that, it's just a new design for the X-Tornado. Y'know, ever since we lost the X-Tornado from our last adventure."

I heard Knuckles groan, which caught Rouge's attention and mine as well. "You know, our last adventure was about a year ago. I really need that daily dose of action!"

Rouge came over to me and gave me pancakes. "Thanks Rouge." I took a bite of it, and it was surprisingly good! It wasn't as good as Amy's cooking though!

Rouge sighed and then looked at Knuckles. "Honey, we have each other, you know, we could take you to the gym! We could work out together!"

Knuckles face turned bright and he looked at Rouge. I knew what he was thinking, seeing Rouge in such revealing clothing.

Knuckles then spoke up. "That's not that bad of an idea actually!" I think I could tell, he was in it just to see Rouge in revealing clothes. But sometimes, I can't even understand that echidna.

Well, here's a chapter with no cliffhangers!

I guess I should make chapters these long? I'm not so sure, let's just see how the wind blows!

See you guys in the next chappie!~
