//------------------------------// // Sonic's Secret Out // Story: Sonic: Dimensional Chaos // by HedgehogofRed1999 //------------------------------// Back to the present Whilst I've kinda learned to try to forget Kint it's hard especially in my newest adventure where Eggman saved me, surprising I know I was shocked by it to I thought Eggman was true evil but I guess I'm making an ally in an arch-nemesis. Though I tried to wrap my head around that, I started to feel as though something in me had changed Eggman but I wasn't sure what. Suddenly I heard my bro's voice distracting me from mauling these thoughts over even more. "Yo Sonic can I ask you something?" Tails asked abruptly. "Sure Tails. What is it?" I replied with a sense of fluidity to make sure Tails didn't notice my daydreaming. "Why have you never went faster than the speed of sound? Or heck, even gone past it with that speed every day and the fact you don't exhaust easily we could've easily captured Eggman" He asked with one of his eyebrows going up to register the fact he was confused. "What? Tails I've gone faster than the speed of sound before" I half-lied I knew it was only a matter of time before he has discovered my secret. "No you haven't from what I've seen you can emit a Sonic Mach Cone but your body isn't moving any faster and after scanning you and reading your speed levels it seems as though you can't even go Mach 1" Tails said defiantly as to make sure I didn't interrupt and also using his own research which I knew was correct but still I remained silent. "Well? Why haven't you?" So I had to come out with it, as I knew he wouldn't leave me alone without an answer "Ok Tails the thing is I have gone the speed of sound… with my hands not my feet. I know you're wondering why that matters well 'expert in machines and science' tell me why would I not want to use the speed of sound so often?" I knew Tails would answer how I wanted as he knew I was giving him a taste of his own medicine and trying to be a bit more intrusive with my little bro. "Maybe because you can't handle it?" I was miffed now, both I and he knew that wasn't true and even though he seemed to banter a little more with me to have me give him a reaction he didn't have to insult me that bad. " Ok first off, why try to insult me so badly if you want to know you don't have to keep taking shots at my pride, especially since I'm not really in the mood and second off what about this for a theory how about the fact I don't want to endanger all those around with a sonic boom, huh Tails?" I knew that had shocked him to hear that and I knew he was going to ask "why" next, so I answered "Why? Because first off I had made a promise to Uncle Chuck to never endanger anyone with my speed and by being taught the dangers of my speed by…. An old friend and the main reason for me being a hero as well as knowing that sonic booms are the most dangerous type of concussive wave of force known to Mobius. When in my super state I don't have to worry since the speed of light is my minimum as it is with my regular form but I don't have to go through a sonic boom level of speed to get to it since that state makes the speed of light my starting speed and in that form I can't slow to anything slower than light. Though think about this Tails most of Eggman's robots would be tuning forks for the vibrations I emit from a sonic boom. I've mastered how to control my speed I just don't know how to lighten the concussive force of a sonic boom so it only has a radius around me rather than everything behind ya know?" I knew that had confused him especially since he hadn't expected me to have such an understanding of speed. "Wow, Sonic how do you know all this? Not to be mean but you never seemed the type for an education of this caliber" He asked profusely unsure if I was the same hedgehog I'd lied to him about. "Well, Tails that is one heck of a story it would take days for me to explain and most it has to do with my past and one person who you may be shocked to know about... but hey that's life. It started when…" I tried to say but sadly my story was cut short when a familiar red headed echidna popped through Tails' door "GUYS QUICK!" He said frantically "What is it knuckles?" I asked "He's back" he replied. Well here we go again I thought.
