//------------------------------// // Explainations // Story: Sonic: Dimensional Chaos // by HedgehogofRed1999 //------------------------------// Tails awoke early to find Crimson looking at him through the window, with his mech in perfect condition. Tails at first, thought he was seeing a Ghost. How could he be there? Wasn’t he training Shadow and Silver? Tails rubbed his eyes as to clear out the sleep in them as to check that what he was seeing was real, though Crimson disappeared as he rubbed his eyes… Tails inhaled calmly as he headed out of the door, only to hear a voice calling out to him. “You care to explain what you meant Tails?” Crimson asked, only Tails couldn’t see him, he decided to turn around, but was confronted by Crimson, who was right up near to him. “Care to explain what this means?” Crimson asked again, holding up the note to Tails’ face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” Tails replied, walking past Crimson, with an angry tone. “Listen Tails, you can’t get angry at Sonic, you’ve never been in a long relationship like he has, he’s been with Sally for at least 6 years, you’ve only ever been with a fox twice and was broken up by the same girl in less than a year, Sonic’s lost his father, his uncle, his friend and his lover due to Robotnik, he never meant to hurt you, he’s just trying to be strong for you, he knows you looked up to him and so if he acted weak, he’s afraid that you might start getting scared and he can’t afford your hesitance in the middle of a mission, he was afraid you could get killed because of his past, and he never wanted that for you” Crimson explained, holding Tails by the shoulder. “You don’t get it do you, he broke his lover’s heart and severed my connection to someone I considered family, he even at one time nearly got my father arrested, he’s totally selfish and doesn’t care for me anymore, why would he when he’s got you? You’re a clone of him and especially Lightning, he’s me in Sonic’s form… Shows he doesn’t need me, Lightning will take my place, I’m just here for the ride now, he doesn’t want me, he’s got you and due to his ego he’ll probably won’t need any of his old friends to help him, you are replacements of all of us, Lightning is me, Tang is Amy, You are Knuckles and Jade is well himself, he doesn’t want us, and when this all over and he chooses you over us, you’ll be able to see the truth” Tails angrily replied, shaking Crimson’s hand off of his shoulder. “Wow… you are just like Sonic, angst-filled, no girlfriend and constantly angry, you really are his brother… Tails, we were based off of you, I was based off Knuckles as way to keep Sonic sane, Sonic knew that if you guys got hurt then his psyche wouldn't be able to take it, he’d lost Kint at this point, uncle chuck and his father and was just about ready to give up, till he met you and Knuckles, Amy and was finally happy, he loved you all like another family of his, you keep him sane and if you ever went away he’d be so angry, he’d be ready to burn the whole world down to save you and most likely be indefinitely in his dark form, you don’t know how much you mean to him and if you can’t see that then I guess you don’t deserve your powers or his consideration” Crimson angrily said. “What did you mean by powers?” Tails asked, his interest now peaked. “You’re hopeless, I’m talking about your Chaos Powers, being the closest to Sonic has corrupted slowly with his energy, it constantly radiates from his body, and due to you being so close not only to him but to his memories and life his energy has deemed worthy of his power too, look at your hand” Crimson instructed to which, Chaos energy started emanating. “What’s happening?” Tails asked. “You have Sonic’s Chaos Power’s too, and no matter far you run or how much you try to deny it, you’re linked to Sonic whether you like or not, having these negative emotions will cause a dark form to come out, and surprisingly you chaos aura is very strong, Lightning needs to teach how to hone it, and after that you can start playing on the same field as Sonic.” Crimson explained. “Dammit! Why must he infect every aspect of my life, when I finally think I’m free of him, he always has something that draws me back, dammit!” Tails furiously cursed. “Tails, you have been given the power of chaos energy, you can do nearly anything and you just need someone to help you… OK look, I’ll have Lightning teach you how to utilise the energy, and you guys don’t have to come with us, then after that you can head wherever you want and do whatever you please, and leave Sonic, I’ll grant you that much” Crimson replied, and surprisingly Tails agreed. After Lightning had been woken up and him and Tails had went off, Sonic got up alongside the clones and all of them headed off for the Castles of Harmony. When they got there, the mane six were waiting for them, fierce determination in their eyes that matched the boy’s passionate gaze, Spike spread his wings, as did Rainbow and Sonic got into a runner’s start up position as the rest of the main six were carried by the other hedgehogs. “Ready guys?” Sonic asked, to which everyone smirked and as quickly as they came to the Castles they went away blazing throughout Equestria, looking for the Crystal Empire and willing to put a stop to this. “Yo Rainbow! How about you and I have a little friendly competition, first one to the Crystal Empire wins?” Sonic smirked, as she had a fiery passionate look towards Sonic with a face that screamed, “You’re on”. In a few moments, the two blue adventures boosted forward with such force that they suddenly became unrecognizable to their friends who were slacking behind. “So Rainbow, what’s been the fastest you could ever go?” Sonic asked to which she simply smiled. “Well, that would Mach 20, when I first performed the Double Rainboom” She boasted. “Hm, going that fast would certainly cause some major damage, well can you do it safely now?” Sonic asked. “Yes, I’ve mastered it and now let’s see if it compares to you mister fastest thing in the universe” Rainbow bragged, gaining altitude and then when at her peak, she blasted off, leaving two rainbow colours when she went past him. “Hm, not bad, now, get a taste of Hyper Sonic, argh!” Sonic screamed as he blasted off at such a high speed, the trail of friction from his feet, caused the ground to let off sparks. He started zooming and cruising past buildings and cities, he nearly couldn't see going so fast, all he could see was a Pegasus shadow being above him and as quickly as it came, it was gone, Sonic arrived on the border of the crystal empire over looking it’s now blackened landscape, and Sonic caught sight of two figures appearing before him, whom he knew all too well. “Well, Faker and Paradox, glad you could make it to the party, and who are our lovely guests” Sonic said, going up beside them and defending them from a sword swing, as Silver grabbed a whole load of blackened ponies, having a cloned appearance and onyx like textured skin. “Hm, faker we’ve already been over this, I’m 50 years older than you, and so I’m the original” Shadow explained, hitting another pony in the face. “Yeah, but we never know, you could’ve got that DNA from my dad or uncle chuck and that would technically make you the fake, my uncle is 56 by the way” Sonic argued. “Yeah so that would mean he had this DNA taken from him when he was six, and I doubt he’d ever get caught up in my creation” Shadow shot back. “Yeah but you never know, we could be brothers, which means we’re related… oh… on second thought you’re the faker” Sonic responded quickly trying to dispel the previous notion of them being brothers. “Guys, can we focus? Seriously you remind me of Amy, she’s sweet as all hell, but man can she gets distracted easily” Silver ordered. “You’re calling us sweet? Awe Silver thanks but you want to watch out if Blaze heard that” Sonic teased. “What do… Oh, shut up!” Silver sulked getting even more vexed at the brotherly hedgehogs. “What? Besides you made it official you and Blaze are going out, so why are you get all concerned about it?” Sonic asked. “You wouldn't understand, it’s just Blaze has a bit of a temper and now that she’s with me she can go a bit crazy on the whole relationship thing, I mean she nearly burnt this one girl for talking to me and of course I was not the innocent party in that she also burnt my quills and ma chest hair!” Silver whined. “Oh no, the almighty chest hair has been violated! Whatever shall we do? Oh, I know, just not care, though it’s weird how come you guys have more chest hair than me? I mean I never shaved when I was with Sally and you’re younger than me so you shouldn't have any at all and on top of that how are you not ponies, I mean i have chaos energy preventing the change, unless... you got trained in Chaos energy manipulation didn't you?” Sonic questioned. “See that it what I have that is dominant over you, I have chest hair and you do not... and yes we were trained by Crimson to hone our Chaos abilities, which is why we aren't ponies currently.” Shadow bragged. “Congratulations Shadow you have won the award for looking like a black grizzly bear, well done, well done, tell me how does it feel to be the epitome of a grizzly bear? Come on, tell the people how you feel” Sonic teased, after getting a whirlwind wound up, that swirled though the kingdom and captured the ponies. “OH Shut up faker!” Shadow angrily replied, leading Sonic to smirk as he had one that battle with no scars. “So Sonic how many more of these guys are there?” Silver nonchalantly said, as he raised the ground beneath the ponies feet and trapped them in the ground. “I don’t know but I do know that these guys won’t survive long if we take out Sombra, Tirek and Chrysalis” Sonic replied, which prompted all of the hedgehogs to run into the castle. “Hm, so Sonic how long have you been here?” Shadow now asked, curious to know his rival’s recent activities, for better or worse that all up to interpretations. “Well I’ve been here for a good number of days; hanging out with locals, getting my powers back and sleeping in a hedgehog-made house” Sonic replied. “So basically you’re telling us, you’ve been goofing off as usual… I see” Shadow replied. “What’s the weakness of Tirek, Sombra or this Chrysalis you were talking about?” Silver asked. “Well they don’t have any, all of them I’m assuming have been infused with dark chaos energy this means that regular attacks won’t work on them, but I need to you to go into the dungeon and see if anyone is there, me and Shadow will take care of Sombra, little miss mind controller and mister BULL-ie” Sonic smirked at his own joke, to which Shadow rolled his eyes. “As immature as usual I see, good to know your past hasn't damaged your spirit or your comedy… it’s still as bad as ever” Shadow stated, smirking at his own shot at Sonic. “I think he’s a centaur, technically guys” Silver added. “Nerd Alert! Please tell this nerd to go back to his computer” Sonic childishly replied. “Sonic…” Silver replied, a devious smile on his face as he pulled the ground up a bit and made Sonic trip and due to his fast speed he was forced right through the wall and his head got stuck, much to Shadow and Silver’s amusement. “Nerd 1, Sonic-0” Silver zinged.
