Author's Notes: First chapter of the remake of "Tails the Betrayed". Sorry for the insanely long wait but...I decided to mix things up a bit. Character Death, blood and gore and language makes this rated M.

Inter-dimensional character chances: 10%

Hope you enjoy this remake folks. Don't expect a happy ending...I'm tired of happy endings.

Prologue: The Truth of Tails

Tails' Age: 10

Miles "Tails" Prower, an orange two-tailed fox.

The youngest of the Freedom Fighters.

Sonic's best friend and little brother.

The most innocent, right?

Wrong...

Tails was never harmless and while they fought Robotnik without him, he fought Robotnik right under their noses only in a more brutal and underground manner. Anyone working for Robotnik that was human or human-like, would eventually be found brutally murdered and with blood writing on the walls relating to something called "Tails Doll". These events went on for years, until one day he was caught and his life and the lives of his "friends" went down the drain. If you're expecting a happy ending to this story, leave now as in this universe, there is no happiness. Only death, destruction, revenge, regret, and chaos. Oh by the way, if you're wondering who the narrator for this part is folks, it is I, Klaxon, who is narrating. And yes, I am breaking the fourth wall as usual. Anyway, let us get to the story shall we?

[Creature Feature- Such Horrible Things]

Robotropolis Gates; Night...

The entire Freedom Fighter force is seen placing explosives on the gates to Robotropolis, the entire polluted city eerily silent.

"Something feels off. With this large of force, we should have run into trouble by now." whispered Sally typing information into Nicolle, the hand-held computer she usually carries with her.

"Yeah. Buttnik can't be this sloppy can he?" said Sonic tapping his foot impatiently and looking at a nearby security camera directly, the light above its lens being off.

"M-m-maybe the Tails Doll got him?" said Antoine shivering.

"That names sounds fake. Probably someone trying to get under Buttnik's skin." said Knuckles cracking his knuckles as he waited.

"Y-y-you say that after finding the n-name written in blood."

"Ant, hun. Just stop." said Bunnie transforming her robotic arm into a laser cannon.

"Alright. All the explosives are set." said Rotor dusting off his hands and pulling out a detonator and pressing it. The gates to Robotropolis are blown apart and even then, there are no alarms, no SWAT-Bots or Badniks coming to fight them, just eerie silence and destroyed SWAT-Bots lying across the ground.

"Did someone beat us to the punch?" said Sonic in annoyance as he looked around.

The group jumps upon hearing moving metal and they see Snively pushing a destroyed SWAT-Bot off himself and he looks around, shaking violently before he sees the Freedom Fighters and he just laughs weakly before he passes out and falls face-first into a pool of oil.

"Okay, that's odd." said Rotor and Antoine is shaking violently.

"Something definitely happened here." said Sally, looking at the destroyed SWAT-Bots carefully and noted the blade-like markings on them.

"Alright, I'm gonna go check on Buttnik. For all we know, this is a trap." said Sonic and before Sally could object, he had taken off for the command center.

Ten seconds later...

Sonic skids to a halt in front of the doors leading to the command center and notes the iron smell filling the air along with the fact that the doors leading to the command center are kind of busted and closed shut. He begins looking for a way to get inside when he feels a cold metal hand on his shoulder and he jumps and spins around, aiming to spin-kick whoever's behind him only for Bunnie to catch his foot.

"Easy there sugah." said Bunnie and Sonic chuckles nervously.

"Sorry but don't sneak up on me." said Sonic.

"Yeah. Ah shouldn't have used mah metal hand to get your attention either Ah guess." said Bunnie rubbing her neck.

"Help me get these doors open." said Sonic walking over to the doors.

The two work to get the doors open and after a few minutes, the doors budge open enough for them to get through and a gut-wrenching smell hits their nostrils causing both to gag and nearly lose their suppers.

"Smells like something died in there!" gasped Sonic, covering his nose with the scarf around his neck (1) and trying to get his stomach to settle down.

"Got that right sugah." said Bunnie, covering her nose as well.

The two head into the room and notice all the blood over the walls and floor along with the laser scorch marks everywhere.

"Guess Buttnik tried to fight back." said Sonic before the two duck behind cover upon hearing grunting and then breaking metal.

"This would have been a lot quicker if you hadn't fought back you fat tub of lard! Now you've put me behind schedule by thirty minutes! At least you died painfully, that's a plus. Heh, oh, I wish this had been quicker though." came a voice the two found hauntingly familiar.

A spine-chilling scrunch is heard as a metal pipe is slammed into Robotnik's mutilated corpse, his chest ripped open, his eyes and tongue cut out and both his arms are missing. The two peek out from behind their cover to see Tails dusting his hands off over Robotnik's corpse.

"TAILS?!" yelled both Sonic and Bunnie, causing Tails to jump and lose his footing, and fall to the ground, cutting his eye on a piece of broken metal and he cries out before grabbing his eye.

"What are you two doing here?!" yelled Tails getting up quickly.

"What are you doing here?!" yelled Sonic.

Bunnie looks around at the blood on the walls and notices the words "Tails Doll" written in the blood.

"He's Tails Doll." said Bunnie and Sonic looks at her quizzically.

"Tails Doll was just a name I made up. Great. Just great. Now everything is ruined! What now?" said Tails pacing before he ripped another pipe out of the wall and looked it over before sighing, "Well, this is going to get shitty fast."

Before Sonic can say anything, Bunnie grabs a metal pipe that was flying at him at roughly 60 mph and Sonic gulps.

"Well, that failed." said Tails trying to edge out of the room as quickly as he could and turns to leave only to run into Knuckles' chest who grabs him by the throat, "E-easy there tough guy."

Sally walks into the room and nearly throws up.

"What happened?" said Sally glaring at Tails.

"I killed Robotnik. What? Did you plan to imprison him and try to reform him? Worst idea ever Sally. You couldn't reform him even if you beat the word into his skull. You can't do anything to me anyway. I'm a kid." said Tails crossing his arms, despite Knuckles' grip on his throat.

"Oh yeah? Well guess what Tails? You're in big trouble. Why? You've killed roughly thirty people, vandalized private property, trespassed, committed thievery and to top it off, you've broken curfew."

"WHAT?!" yelled Tails and Sonic, Sonic more in surprise and Tails in worry.

"You never saw Rotor install security cameras throughout the village? I had him do it after I received countless complaints of items stolen from houses and guess who was caught on camera?"

Tails gulps nervously.

"And with the murders, they may have worked for Robotnik but that's no excuse. The blood writing on the walls kind of tells the story Tails."

"Alright, so I've done some bad stuff. Big deal. Not like anyone was going to miss that junk anyway. Its not like I had anything decent to work with anyway. We stole from junkyards. None of that stuff is even fixable. And frankly, I ended the war. I'm a freaking hero!" said Tails in defiance.

"You're nothing but a brat Tails. Thought I knew you better. As princess, I'm placing you under arrest for war crimes."

"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

"I can and I am."

"Why you little bi-!" Tails is knocked out by Knuckles before he can finish.

Two Days Later...

Tails is sentenced to death in front of a judge and jury for his crimes but due to his age, it is postponed but until he is old enough, he is sentenced to a prison cell with no outside access and no contact with anyone without permission.

Tails hits the floor of his cell harshly and gets up slowly.

"You can't do this. I ended the freaking war. He would have escaped and started the war again." said Tails defiantly, a scar now over his eye from the day he cut it on the metal.

"You have eight years Miles. Better makes the most of it." said Sally leaving the prison.

"DON'T YOU CALL ME BY THAT NAME!" yelled Tails as he grabbed the bars on his cell and began trying to rip them open with no success and he sighed before he sat down on the bunk and he decided to just wait for...well, anything really but...nothing happens and he's stuck playing nothing but chess with himself for eight years.

[End song]

Eight Years Later...

"Alright brat. Time for your execution." said a guard opening Tails' cell door and Tails' back is turned towards him as he sits in a chair over the chess table.

"Didn't you hear me? I said its time for your execution!" snapped the guard as he grabs Tails by the shoulder and spins him around only to see a makeshift bomb replacing Tails' face, "Aw shit."

A huge explosion consumes the prison and Tails is seen climbing out of a muddy tunnel he dug for eight years and he wipes his hair out of his eyes and lightning flashes and he takes off running as alarms ring out.
