Chaos Uncontrolled

Chapter 16

Super's eye twitched in clear annoyance, but he said nothing. Sonic sighed. Right he needed to not get Super upset if he could help it; they wanted his help after all. "So I'll get straight to the point. I want your help."

Super's annoyed look faltered for a moment. Surprise flashed over his face before it was quickly covered back up with annoyance. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really. Look I get it sounds crazy..." Sonic trailed off before sighing.

"You're right it does sound crazy. I know that we didn't get hit hard enough in the head for you to suddenly forget what I've done." Super leaned forward. "So why do you think asking for my help with anything is a good idea?"

Sonic shrugged. "Because working together can help both of us." He leaned back, using his hands to keep himself stable. "It's not a forever truce, just a temporary thing. We both wanna beat Eggman so why not help each other out?"

"Hate to break it to you hero but I wanna do a little more than beat that coward." Super bared his teeth. "He doesn't get to try and control me and live."

Sonic hummed. He could... maybe work with this. Sure he'd have to get Super to pull back on the wanting to kill Eggman, but at least Sonic now knew for sure that Super didn't like the doctor. "Ok, but why would you need to kill him? Take it from someone who's beaten Eggman more times than I can remember. It's way more fun to see him all defeated after he loses."

"There's no way I'm going to let that coward slip through my fingers again." Super growled, flexing his claws. "The next time I see him will be the last."

"Yeah but then it's one and done, and you can never feel the excitement of fighting him again." Sonic tried, that did seem to get Super's attention if only a little. Sonic though was very quickly realizing that he maybe didn't know Super well enough to attempt this. It wouldn't stop him from continuing to try though. "Plus now that you know what he can do we can take steps to avoid it. I'm sure Tails can figure something out to help prevent Eggman from trying to control you again."

Super scoffed. "I don't need any of the fox's gadgets. I can stop him from doing anything myself. He won't surprise me this time." He glared at Sonic. "And I don't need your help to destroy him. The way I see it you're the one who needs help; which means I have all the power here." Super shot him a smug look.

After a moment Sonic nodded. "I guess. I won't lie. We're in a bit of a hard spot and it would be nice to deal with Eggman sooner rather than later, but we can always wait." Super's face fell slightly. "Eventually the others will be feeling better and we can go take care of Eggman then." Sonic stated with forced nonchalance as he waved a hand around. "I probably won't even have to go if we waited actually. Then I wouldn't have to worry about you." He looked away. Hopefully this was working.

He could almost feel Super considering the situation. Heck maybe he could feel it, since they were connected in a way and all. "Say I do agree to this." Super started and Sonic looked back at him, an uninterested look on his face. "Not that I am yet!" He pointed a clawed finger at Sonic as he bared his teeth. "But if I did, how would you even know you could trust me? I could just take over and leave. All it would take is one chaos control and your stupid little friends would have to hunt me down again."

Sonic leaned forward and rested his chin on his hands. "I thought you'd jump at the opportunity for me to let you out willingly." Sonic rose a brow at the other hedgehog. "Any reason why you're trying to convince me against this? Cause if you really were just planning to take advantage of this chance and run I don't think you'd want to tell me that was even a thing you'd do." The golden hedgehog simply glared at him. Sonic sighed and closed his eyes. "Look, don't get me wrong. I don't trust you. Like at all." He opened one eye to peer at Super. "But I do know that you're capable of self control and that's good enough for me right now." He opened his other eye to stare directly at Super. "Tails wouldn't have been able to talk you down if there wasn't more to you then you let on."
