Chapter 2 - A Distant Face in the Shadows.

----

Rune EX: This….really shouldn't have taken me this long to write this.

Red: Yeah, you are right about that, but noooo you had to wait until you had to get and beat Shadow the Hedgehog.
Rune EX: …eye twitches

Dark Falcon: And the fact that you tried fighting writer's block with a wet noodle. I never have seen anything more pathetic. And when are you going to write more of you MMX Chronicles. Like, oh I don't know, the first part, The Genploid, instead of the Second part, Their Greatest Fears.

Rune EX: Both of you shut up. And I'll update that thing soon enough, when I feel like it. DO you really want to be hurt that badly? And Red shouldn't you be half crazed and in the forest taps foot impatiently like right NOW.
Red: is eating ice cream, and looks up confused Why should I?
Rune EX: GET INTO CHARACTER NOW!
Dark Falcon: Pssst. You should do what he says. shows Red part of the script to The Genploid

Red: reads Oo What the? rereads OO How the hell did you survive that.

Dark Falcon: Luck, I guess. And that's when he wasn't even trying, to think of an injury for me.

Red: Crap! runs off to the forest
Rune EX: Care to do the honors of responding to the reviews?

Dark Falcon: MysticStarLegacy – Thanks for the review. Yeah, it was sad. Don't know what mood Rune was in, but it was a different than the mood he was when he made the basic script to his MMX Chronicles Fic, why couldn't he be in that mood.

Rune EX: Because it wouldn't of been as funny or dramatic.

Dark Falcon: I hate you so much. Anyways, Chuboy – Thanks for the advice, he's paying more attention to his adverbs and tense this time as long as the grammical errors.

And as always Rune EX does not claim any ownership to any of the Sonic Characters. He does however own Red and me.

Rune EX: Now on with the story, I have to go look for where I misplaced my humor gland. :P

Dreams can quickly become nightmares

Tails just stood outside his house, blinking and shaking angrily.

I was in my room, and Sonic, just kicked me out, of...my...own...house...I'm going to kill him.

Tails whirled around quickly and started to pound on the door. "Let me in you blue menace!" He screamed.

Sonic popped his head out the window and calmly replied, "No. Now go, to the Mystic Ruins, or else."

"Or else what?"

Sonic chuckled, and chucked a baseball at Tails. "Or else face the wrath of the hail of sports equipment." And to show that he wasn't kidding, Sonic started to throw baseballs, footballs, soccer balls, baseball bats, and baseball bat weights, at the poor kid.

Tails eeped and sped away from the crazy blue hedgehog. He was going at full speed and was able to avoid everyone until he got to the train station. He rammed into a person. A person with white fur and purple wings. "Shit." Tails mumbled as he got up, and than he started to stutter as he saw who it was. "S-s-s-sorry, about that R-r-r-rouge. Don't hurt me." And under his breath he added, "much." He tried to help her up but she smacked his hand away. And that's when he notice that her ear was bandaged up. "What happene..OOF." Was all he could get out before Rouge kicked him into the wall.

"You happened, you little piece of sh..." She began to say before she thought for a second. Tails's fur isn't reddish...He couldn't of been the one to attack me...but still, they looked so alike. She was staring at Tails

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Tails said as cruelly and sarcastically as possible for him. "Or do you just love putting on that fake façade for me? You fucking bitch." Tails continued as he got up. "Stop fucking faking for once, you goddamn whore." He was walking slowly to Rouge, that same hatred in his eyes that he had when he was talking to Sonic had returned. "Why don't you go, fuck yourself? Since the only person that will ever love you is, yourself. Not Knuckles, Sonic, Me, or" and he said this very cruelly, "Shadow."

That was all Rouge could take. She grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against the wall. "Bastard. Don't. You. Ever. Dare. Talk. To. Me. Like. That. What the hell happened to you?" Her eyes looked like she was about to kill him. "Where the hell did you learn to talk like that, you're too young to know those words."

Tails wheezed out. "Its...amazing...what's on...the internet."

Rouges cell phone rang and with her free hand she answered it. "Talk to me." She said gruffly.

Meanwhile out side the Mystic Ruins, Shadow was losing his IQ points listening to some fat mobster talking.

"Youse gots dat? Youse understands da plan?" The fat man said.

"Yes, youse iz going to pays me to kills da machine things and maybes the Red fox thing dead." Shadow said mockingly as he walked away to the forest. He muttered "I want my wasted time and IQ points back damnit."

The Fatass seethed with raged, hated being talked to like that. He got on his phone and called his boys up.

----

In the forest, a reddish-tan fox made his way into a cave. He staggered onto a tattered purple robe and feel asleep. His eyes, before closing, where misted over in confusion.

That's it, please Review.
