BOOK I OF THE CHAOTIX TRILOGY
FROM CHAOS BORN
CHAPTER I
VISIONS
“I have an I. Q. of 200, I can understand Astro and Quantum physics, and explain how to turn on a TV using chaos mechanics. But what puzzles me the most is why do they put round pizzas in square boxes?”– Miles “Tails” Perower.
One day, in Delta city, a teenage male sat in front of the television playing video games at 8 am on a school day. He had blue hair, wore a pair of faded blue jeans and a white tank top. His mother yelled “Son! Turn off your game and get to school.” The male looked up from the television and yelled, “I have lots of time, ma. School doesn’t start until 8:30 and it’s only on the other side of the city. Even with rush–hour, I can make it.” An attractive lady sharing no resemblance to him and with pink hair and green eyes said , “Sonic, Amy left already and you have a simple choice. Get moving, or lose your game privileges until you bring home a good report card. Choose now.”
The male yelled, “Lose my games for life? No fair!” The lady smiled and said, “Well, get going.” Sonic walked to the door and put on a pair of red Nike runners saying, “See you after class, ma.” His mother laughed and replied, “Just try not to get a speeding ticket.”
“They’ll have to catch me first..” With that he disappeared in a blurred streak. The lady smiled and said, “I’d hate to see him in a car.” Thirty seconds later, on the other side of the city, Sonic stopped at the entrance of the school and quickly walked to his locker. A brown haired, blue eyed male saw him and said, “Hey, Sonic!” Sonic opened his locker and opened it, saying, “Hey, tails. New vest?”
Tails smiled and said, “Yeah. What do you think of it?”
“Looks like all your other vests. Ever thought of a color other than red?” tails laughed and retorted, “This coming from the only guy in school with a locker completely filled with red Nike’s.” Took out another pair of shoes and put them on before proceeding to examine the now melted shoes he had on before. “Blame my sponsors. They picked out the color. Say, you think if they use the stuff from race tires, I cam make my kicks last longer?”
A female voice behind them muttered, “Only of you stop waiting till the last minute to get to school.” Both the males muttered in a nervous voice, “Hi Amy.” Tails then whispered, “If we can distract her, we might be able to escape before…” A frighteningly calm voice said, “Well, well. If it isn’t super nerd and speedy.” sonic muttered, “Too late. Hey knuckles.” the two turned around and looked straight at a female who completely resembled Sonic’s mother when she was younger and a placidly calm male in a black trench coat with red hair. Amy looked Tails and said “Miles, you had combat training with Sonic yesterday and neither one of you showed up. Mind explaining why?”
Tails replied, “First off, don’t call me Miles. Do you have any idea how many insults come with that? Second, how did you find out my name in two days? Finally,why the hell do we have to learn to fight? I’m too smart to get into a fight.” Knuckles sighed. “First, I’ll call you whatever I want. Two, That’s for me to know. And finally…” He punched tails in the face, knocking him to the ground. After a moment, he said, “Not as smart as you just claimed, huh?” Sonic looked at him and said, “Okay, carrot top. You’re going down for that!” Suddenly he disappeared. The male let out a smirk and muttered, “Predictable.” He then snapped his hand to the side and caught Sonic’s hand in mid punch. In a quick motion, the teen was thrown to the ground.
The blue haired male looked at him and said, “Well, I’ll let you two humor yourselves into thinking you know what your doing. When you finally realize what’s unfolding, we’ll meet again.” With that, he disappeared out the school doors. Sonic yelled, “Yeah, you’d better leave! If I see you again, you’ll be…” At that moment, he received a close encounter with a relatively large hammer. Amy stood there with the weapon and said, “Idiot.” and walked off. Tails looked at his friend and said, “Hey, dude. You okay?” Sonic lay there and groaned, “No. What the hell did I do to deserve that.”
Tails shook his head and muttered, “Ask the orphanage. We both ended up with the short end of the stick for our age group.” Sonic groaned and said, “Who is that Knuckles guy anyway? He appears out of nowhere and knows who we are. On top of that, how do we know who he is. Until a couple of days, we didn’t even know he existed.” Tails shook his head and replied, “Maybe it has something to do with those weird dreams we’ve been having. I mean, he does look a lot like that lady that keeps showing up in them. Maybe he has something to do with them.”
The blue haired teen looked at him and asked, “That your scientific theory? Seems a little paranoid to me.” Tails shrugged. “Simple rule of science. If all means of theoretical analyzation come up inconclusive, grasp at straws.”
“Easy, pal. Too many big words for me.” The bell rang and they headed for class.

A very great distance away, and about twice that upwards, Knuckles stood in a temple located on a floating island. He was looking into a large green emerald. After a while, he said, “Just how long do you plan to keep to the shadows, Tikal? I can sense the presence of a spirit as easily as I can divine from the master emerald.” A female who looked exactly like the male said, “I couldn’t help but notice that you are involving yourself in the affairs of the mortal world. You know that it is forbidden.”
Knuckles turned and said, “You are aware of what is unfolding. The seven emeralds have been taken from Angel Island and are scattered in their existence. The darkness created from this incident is spreading quickly and will bring great danger. You must beware of the abnormality with the warrior of legend?” Tikal nodded. “Indeed. It would appear that he is far different from his predecessors. Are you sure that he is in fact the one we are looking for?” Knuckles shook his head and replied, “I pray to my ancestors that he is. If not, I can only hope that the end is swift and merciful.”

Back in Delta City, Sonic, Amy and Tails sat at the same table for lunch, and the young brown haired male said, “You know, I have an I. Q. of 200, I can understand Astro and Quantum physics, and explain how to turn on a TV using chaos mechanics. But what puzzles me the most is why do they put round pizzas in square boxes?.” Amy suddenly went on the warpath. “Sonic, cant you accept any responsibility? You always wait till the last minute to go to school, you never do your homework and to top it all off, you completely blow off that really cute guy that wants to teach you how to handle yourself in a fight.!” Sonic groaned and replied, “Why do I want to do that? I’m too fat for anyone to touch. No way someone can touch me.” Tails chuckled and said, “This coming from the guy who got floored by an emo in a trench coat.”
Sonic sighed and muttered, “Stuff it Tails. Right now, all I care about is sitting here with my true love. Twenty beautiful, heavenly,cooked to perfection, mouth watering chili…” At that moment, a flash filled the room and he found himself surrounded by a lunch room full of corpses. “…Dogs? What the hell?” He looked out the window and saw the city completely demolished, meteors falling into it from the burning sky. “What the Hell!” he repeated. He saw a redhead in a trench coat standing in the lifeless soccer field.
He jumped out the window and yelled, “You again! Who are you? What’s going on?” the female looked at him and Tikal’s eyes burned into his soul. “Even when you see, you don’t believe. It is hard for me to believe that you can possibly be the one to prevent the past from becoming present.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” he snapped. “You’re not making sense! What happened To Delta City?” Tikal looked at him and said, “This is a vision of the past, as well as the future to be. Whether this comes to pass, you will have to decide.”
Before he could reply, everything returned to normal and he stood there in the middle of a soccer practice. The coach yelled, “Hey! Kid! When you’re done talking to yourself, would you mind getting of the field? We do kind of have a game today and you’re taking up our time.” Sonic awkwardly waked off the field trying to piece together what happened.
When classes ended for the day, Sonic stood against his locker deep in thought. “What is going on with my head? That lady looks exactly like Knuckles and I only see her when I totally zone. Who is she, and what the hell is this past doom meets future crap?” A cold voice said, “You actually think you are smart enough to figure that out?” Sonic turned to see a male that looked exactly like him with black hair, and a black track suit. Sonic said in shock, “Woah! Major Quantum leap moment. Who are you? I don’t remember having a twin!” the male looked at him coldly and said, “Me? That’s easy.” He pulled out a pistol and said, “I’m your executioner.”
