Unused sits at the edge overlooking a lake while gazing up at the sky. He wonders how life had turned out to be this way, how it might have been before it went downhill. He imagines how Sonic felt back when, he wondered how he felt to have a companion, friends, people who actually cared for him. As he nurtured this idea, he slowly morphed into a form of Sonic that he either remembered or thought he knew. Like instinct he started to train his voice to try and match his appearance with a song he remembered from long ago. As he started he thought of whom might join him in chorus and found it fitting to use Tails' voice. Gazing up at the night sky and reciting the lyrics of his old melody he hears a difference in Tails' voice, it wasn't young, innocent and chipper, it was older, despondent and confused. His gaze dashed to his side with his head tilting ever slightly, but it was not out of fear, but of curiosity and surprise. He could see the origin of the voice, it was Tails. Unused stood up and faced him. He was scruffy, bags under his eyes and a fearful and shocked expression on his face, almost like he'd seen a ghost. Unused was taken back by this, but still sang his song with his attempted Sonic voice as it seemed to be working. He saw the state Tails was in and felt sorry for him. Unused knew that Tails was Sonic's best friend, and he adorned his look, he knew revealing his true identity would shatter the Fox's last line of hope. He continues singing through his confusion, which not only calms himself but Tails to an extent as he seemed more comfortable. As they sing it is apparent that Tails also knows his song, which makes Unused questions whether he should really kill him or rather leave him be. As Tails gets more comfortable he chimes in for a duo, singing along Unknown as if he is singing with his long lost friend, the joyful and saddened/depressed look on his face made Unused feel something, was it pity? He didn't know. But he knew he couldn't stay, his facade would be blown open if he stayed longer. As Tails closed his eyes to hold back tears and ran up to Unused to give him a hug, Unused dashed for the thicket, leaving Tails on the cliff of the lake. He hid behind a tree and looked back, seeing that Tails had his arms stretched out infront of him almost like holding a brother who died in his arms, with tears streaming down his face.
Based off of Majin's dialogue in Surface about Unused "Trying too hard", maybe Tails knows deep down that Unused isn't really Sonic, but is just so desperate to see Sonic that he let himself be tricked. Sad...
Tails knew it wasn’t Sonic. Sonic was gone, and he knew that. Unused knew that too. He knew it, and he took this form to try and mess with the fox. But Tails… rolled with it. He knew it wasn’t Sonic, it couldn’t be, he *knew* it, but… it was nice to pretend again. And Unused? Well, he hadn’t even been treated like a person before. Even just this short session of pretending, of talking down Tails from making an awful decision, of being *nice* for once… it stirred something in him. He needed time to think.
I love that Unused isn't evil like all the other horrific Sonic impersonators out there. As soon as Tails spoke of suicide and how glad he was to see him, Unused was quick to rethink his motives. That's super nice and I love it very much. Thank you Nominal.
Maybe Unused isn't a ruthless shapeshifter that kills everything in his path like everyone thought, maybe he has a good heart, maybe he's in the same situation Tails is currently in. I like to think they're venting to each other in this song
i always assumed Unused was more like a mimikyu than anything else, a forgotten piece of history trying to imitate something successful for attention/friendship. i really hope we get a redemption arc in the coming songs ngl
@@Mossrag same. Judging by the dialogue in the description, Unused's situation may be similar to Tail's, finally finding a dear friend after so long, or at least someone who looks like them.
I love the expression Unused's icon has. It gives a sense of confliction, a sense that Unused is feeling guilt and regret about what he was going to do. Knowing that he just saved Tails from the point of no return makes him question if he really wants to kill him, or anyone for that matter.
...the dialogue in the description is... dark, to say the least. (Trigger/Content warning for sewerslide) Tails was going to take his own life, but then Unused turned up. Tails, believing it was the real Sonic, didn't take the jump, and was glad to have his friend back. Unused likely originally turned up with malicious intentions - maybe he was going to try to kill Tails? But knowing how badly Tails was doing mentally made Unused reconsider their intentions.
I really like this redemption arc being set up for unused, seeing how good of a life sonic leads, and seeing how happy he makes all the people in his life, even shadow and eggman, and he realises he doesn't want to ruin that, and so he fills in for sonic, just until they find a way to save the real deal. He doesn't know what he'll do after that, but he still wants to do the right thing, not just for himself, but for sonic, and all of of the people he's had a positive impact. Also, I hope the last song/one of the last, is a big all out with all the characters in this au. I.e a four-way fracture esque finale, with boyfriend, tails, knuckles, eggman, shadow, unused, Lord x, sunky and majin, all going up against xeno at the same time, with the final 2 sections being sonic and fleetway fighting of xeno/xain in sonics mind, and then fleetway delivering the final blow to xeno, destroying him once and for all.
Yeah, but the problem is.. Lord X and Fleetway are psycopaths, they won't or even try to do the right thing, so how can you say that LX and Fleet will help at all? But anyways, good prediction, hope it happens.
Yes. This is Comment Is Literally What I Think Would be the Finale. Lord X and Sunky Fighting Xeno Doing the Most Damage Majin and Unused Teaming up After Their LONG Hating Knuckles, Tails and Robotnik Distracting Him With BF Doing The Most Distraction being the Reason How Fleetway wakes up In Xeno's Mind Teaming up with Sonic And Fighting Xain in his Mind With Sonic and Fleetway Finally Putting Their Differences Aside
I can see these two getting along really well. Even if Tails finds out he isn't real, I'm sure Unused has the heart he's left _unused_ for such a long time...
From this I think this is Unused's lore: This used to be a forgotten Sonic sprite that was given life by it's determination from not wanting to fade into obscurity and be forgotten. After it's revival it wanted revenge and tried killing people via lowering their guard by transforming into different beings, but upon meeting tails and seeing he was able to actually save the life of his "best friend" he starts to think over his actions... At least that's what I got, y'all can tell me what you think about the theory!
Nice to see that this won the poll. Can't help but feel bad for Tails here tho. Lil buddy has had it rough. Could Unused have a more humane side to him than originally thought? Whats up with all these Sonic wannabes anyway?
I think unused is unlike the other exes. I think they have malicious intentions like the exes, but unlike the others are actually able to emphasize and understand morality, which is why it says in the description: " unused starting to question their intentions." They intend to harm Tails, but they hold back once Tails starts to genuinely show sadness and hopelessness. Maybe when Unused takes the form of someone, unintentionally, they may also take that person's morals or emotional recognition with them... But that's just my 2 cents, make of it what you will...
its sad to know that unused was likely made to hunt the remaining survivors, or wanted to hunt those who did remain. Feels bad that tails has truly lost sonic, and for unused to use that to his advantage.
i got a feeling from this like unused, while still being some kind of evil sonic or.. whatever they are still has a soft spot for his old pals and hates that they have to see him like this
Coming back to this one brought a tear to my eye, I’m really glad of how far nominal has come, sure he may have lost some friends along the way but friends come and go, its family that never leaves you.
You're so right dude, all of us aren't alone, There are people that care a lot about us and we have to cherish the people we care about that care about us...
OK tails is not that much of a dumbass to let himself get tricked. Which means he must really be desperate huh, poor fox. And unused looks like a nice guy. Looks like I was wrong about him. Nice song nominal. Keep it up!
Tails want Sonic back so badly that he's willing to let himself be fooled by a clear fake just to have some semblance of his friend back... He wants to have Sonic back so badly that he basically tells himself "This is him, this is Sonic, of course it is, this is how he's always looked. . . Please, please believe me..." That's how traumatic the experience with Xeno was for him.
@@NominalDingus Wow, poor fox, hope he gets better soon. Say, you got an all star battle against Xeno planned out? Like in FWF when Majin came and helped to defeat Xeno?
@@NominalDingusIs there anything I can do to help Tails, it makes so sad to see him like this i wanna hug him so badly so I can help him, Please.... 😢
The fact tails was going to "quit" everything but seeing this fake sonic despite him knowing he's not the true blue blur he still got enough joy from seeing someone so similar he didn't...
I feel like unused is the first sonic, tho being rejected and a better version of sonic took over his place. then him trying to be sonic to see.why he was rejected, after seeing tails and his suicidal intonations…he already knows about the other sonics and there intonations seeing them as fakers… then realized that he was rejected and the reason why he was rejected Edit: continuation: he has also taken others places from shapeshifting * from other comments * to see there places in life and the reason why he can’t join them blaming the sonic taking his place,tho finding tails he finds out about the situation with tails and majin…
I can see their icons slightly, it's not completely black. But holy... This song is so good but it makes me think of my father, who died to cigarettes And i feel like a heartless demon for not crying for this anymore
Alright assuming this is post xenophanes I’m guessing sonic didn’t reappear after fourway fracture. Who knows maybe he’s fighting xenophanes somewhere or he died with xenophanes. (The latter would be a missed opportunity) majins still around so it’s possible he’s alive. Also here’s a theory about unused while he is a shapeshifting demon taking sonic appearance it appears it’s still new to him. Could this be a version of lord x who decided not to kill everyone? This could be the moment that changed everything for him.
It's unused. For fucks sake, context clues, look at my other videos, read shit, read the names, why do I have to explicitly say shit like this. Unused - fake hedgehog - fake sonic - replacement for you-know-who. - tails - depressed - wants to see sonic again - sees unused - unused has appeared before in previous songs - unused looks like sonic cause fake sonic - this is unused and tails - tails thinks unused is sonic.
Well that hurt my feelings. I’m 22 by the way which I guess makes it worse lol. I just like looking deeply into things I get the name I just thought it was a cool theory. Big fan by the way lol
i will never understand why i find this song so sad because of a fictional character losing his best friend that shit hits harder than any truck would, idk why. i hope Nominal Dingus keeps growing, and live well thanks for this emotional song
*Tails:* (Tears starts to fall down his cheeks) You were gone for so long that I thought you never come back. But now your are here…. and I wanted to say…..:. that I’m sorry….. for not *being there* for you….
*please sonic… don’t ever leave me like that again, I… that cliff… please, promise me…* *hey bud, it’s okay, you are gonna be okay, calm down* _Why am I doing this? Ŵhŷ? ŴHŶ?.. mē âñd thãt døłł ñēëd tó tãłk…_
Some type of idea from this is that this is some time after FWF, when Majin somehow got exe away from them without getting rid of him (judging from Lost to time existing, but Old Habits May Disprove this) and everything is mostly fine, except probably the mental health of honestly all the souls, tho for the video its focusing on tails. Surface, Reason to Hide, and This Song seems to focus on the aftermath of the events in sonic.exe, while also introducing a new character, Unused.
Every Single Song Nominal Has Made is Connected To Each another. Starting from FWF to Bitter Reunion (Including Scizomania) With the Exception of Destiny (The Majin Song) After FWF Majin Defeats Xeno Sealing "Most" of his Power Away, Reviving Robotnik, Knuckles and Tails With Schizomania (Phantasm Remix) Being an Prequel to The Vs Sonic.exe Timeline, Fleetway Knew And Warned Sonic that Something (Xeno) Is Trying to Take Over His Body (Unlike OG vs Sonic.exe Xeno, Here he is using his Fanon Lore of bring a Demon Possessing Sonic and Fleetway in the Process) Then Comes "Think" But Majin and Unused Sing it Then Comes Otherside (Knuckles v Lord X) In This Universe, Lord X Is a Good Person and Didn't Kill anyone, Just Wanting INFINITE FUN btw, He and Majin are Best Friends That's why Knuckles wasn't Scared of X. Then Comes Old Habits Where Xeno Confronts Eggboi (Alive) BUT Xeno Uses his illusionary Magic to Make it Seem Eggboi is Dead, With Sonic (Real) Starts Breaking Free With Majin Interrupting Xeno With Lost To Time, Being the Sequel to Old Habits Where Sonic Starts Breaking Free from Xeno's Control Since Majin is doing an Amazing Job of Beating Xeno. At the same exact Time Lost My Mind is Happening alongside Lost to Time Where Sonic is Confronting "Xain" The Essence of Xeno Formed in Sonic's Mind Confronting Sonic, This is Why Sonic is Seen Breaking free in Lost to Time and This is Why LTT and LMM End Exactly the Same Then Comes Suface (Unused v Majin) And Finally this
so there's xenophanes he bad four way fracture happens (triple trouble but with majin) we now cut inside sonics mind where lost my mind takes place where Xain (mental manisfestacion of xeno) tortures Sonic having to endure his friends dying over and over again, then Majin gets a call where Unused tells him to "go to labyrinth zone" where they meet resulting in a trap where he's trapped in water. Then Unused goes and meets a suicidal tails who is sad by Sonic's death wich gives him a redemption arc where he betraws his fellow imposter tails doll and becomes friends with Majin until the great reboot happens
I'm curious as to what Eggman and Knux's reactions would be after not seeing "sonic" for so long. Would Eggman recognize this facade? I doubt he would fall for it
I could honestly see a later song having all of them together Tails Eggman Knuckles and unused them going along together or whatever and then later on in the song just a conversation between Eggman and unused with Eggman being like "I know you're not him I'm keeping my eye on you"
So Tails saw Unused and no longer decided to attempt suicide and comforts him, along with Unused questioning his life actions? I can't imagine how depressing that sounds.
You know who is actually technically unused? The beta sonic, Named Mr needlemouse, I feel like if he were pitted against revie's sonic, It'd sorta fit.
@@8-bitskull ...He was made in a 1991 sketch showing him as a possible player character for a game Sega would work on. The rest is history. Mr needlemouse, I mean.
@@8-bitskull yo I don't really want revies character to go despite her faults I hope someone can take her characters from her like the owner of sonic.exes was taken
@@8-bitskull That may not exactly be the case, Many sonic "Fakes" Have existed. I just don't see how every sonic copy is a copying Revie's version. I think what I'm saying is I'm having a hard time understanding why the creation would be as bad as the creator.
Did anyone release the beginning is just a deeper version of the Reason to Hide beginning? BTW Unused is the best character ever, I would love if Sega actually used him as a replacement for Sonic if he ever gets captured, the others can keep pertending it's Sonic without it actually be Sonic, and when the save the real deal, it'll be better for all of em. Overall 20/10.
I feel like Unused IS good, he probably has a good heart and everything, it’s just that he’s likely seen as bad due to people not understanding or knowing his circumstances. Also I wanna know where Unused comes from, or if he’s just an original creepypasta sonic by you (referring to Nominal). Can’t find any creepypastas or anything at all about him online other than the songs and posts from you (again, referring to Nominal). Could I have the source for him if there is any?
Well he was only just made so he’d be the replacement of Faker, or Revies EXE, but he seems to be similar to Faker in some ways, like the ability to mimic Sonic to a degree.
Reason to hide tails and unused this really got me thinking unused is reason to hide tail’s sonic but undead idk I mean unused eyes are white so it has me thinking.
wait, what was unused gonna do? was he gonna try to kill tails? and is he just gonna be tails' emotional support hedgehog until they manage to get EXE out of sonic?
If I'm correct, Tails was going to off himself, then Unused stopped him from doing that and they started to talk (as you can see in the dialogue in the description. Then Unused started to think about his feelings, and I think that's it. If there's anything wrong or that I forgot, reply so that I can edit the comment.
Unused was there to kill tails but he saw tails in his lowest point, Unused questions his own intentions, he is not evil he has been misguided by tails doll as seen in impostor syndrome
@@ipplays8617 in the newest song where unused battles with tails doll it's said that unused got rid of majin (and doubts that decision before that song) so i doubt they're friends
Now comes the problem. Eggman 100% is gonna know unused isnt sonic i mean eggman has been fighting sonic for years! He's gonna know. But i do feel like eggman wouldnt tell tails because he knows tails is in a bad place right now. Knuckles mkght notice and would start throwing hands 100% but now comes the questions of boyfriend and majin. We dont know if boyfriend is gonna come back but he's at least gonna hear that "sonic" is back when he talks with tails. But he's dumb so that means no problems there but majin could be the thing that changes how tails interacts with unused. Majin seems to *hate* unused with all of his being. And i dont think stoping tails from jumping is gonna make him start being buddy buddy with unused. Maybe make him hate unused less jut majin would still be suspicious of unused.
Hearing this song makes me realize, that even though tails' voice is deeper, it somehow still sounds like Tails. It's the kinda voice when I hear it, I'm like "That's Tails".
i bet theres going to be a second part to this uh? is ther going to be a part wher we see ther icons and the song starts because i mean in this one it feels like it was just the starting beginning song and i the lore or not even the lore the story is being told he is going to be amazing ik of it and i like hows its going
Eggman is infact alive, old habits was just xenophane using illusionary powers to make eggman think he was dead, but he could still feel his hands. Like they were there, just couldn't be seen.
@@thefaerianemissary0247 true but if you were to cut your hands off your brain still feels like your hands are still there until days later but i agree
@@Prestfon12345 yeah that is true, but nominal has said himself on the stream that old habits is just xeno using illusionary powers as that's quite literally all he can do at this point thanks to losing most his potential after Four way fracture.

I like how if you look real close at unused's icon he just looks so full of regret like just seeing tails is tearing him up.
This is such a cool concept for a song and the story with it is pretty sad.
I really like how you have the icons ever so slightly blacked out but if you look *REALLY* closely you can still make out the colors and stuff
I see it
Magik
Listening to this on the last day of Middle School. I'm not crying, you are
We’re both crying.
I can see their icons slightly, it's not completely black. But holy... This song is so good but it makes me think of my father, who died to cigarettes
And i feel like a heartless demon for not crying for this anymore
i have trouble feeling remorse for deaths aswell, so i simply try to blink to make it seem like im crying.
I've lost My father too And Held The Tears for A Decade. I still Miss him and I can relate Deeply with you.
I lost my granpa
No seriously
My dead father was a smoking man too😔😔😔.
@@sergiomendoza251 wow... I feel ya bro
THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION ITS SO GOOD
after seeing the trailer for Unused and Majin show, i feel like this is Tails attempting to remind Unused of the fun they used to have together
Alright assuming this is post xenophanes I’m guessing sonic didn’t reappear after fourway fracture. Who knows maybe he’s fighting xenophanes somewhere or he died with xenophanes. (The latter would be a missed opportunity) majins still around so it’s possible he’s alive. Also here’s a theory about unused while he is a shapeshifting demon taking sonic appearance it appears it’s still new to him. Could this be a version of lord x who decided not to kill everyone? This could be the moment that changed everything for him.
It's unused. For fucks sake, context clues, look at my other videos, read shit, read the names, why do I have to explicitly say shit like this. Unused - fake hedgehog - fake sonic - replacement for you-know-who. - tails - depressed - wants to see sonic again - sees unused - unused has appeared before in previous songs - unused looks like sonic cause fake sonic - this is unused and tails - tails thinks unused is sonic.

Well that hurt my feelings. I’m 22 by the way which I guess makes it worse lol. I just like looking deeply into things I get the name I just thought it was a cool theory. Big fan by the way lol
this song is actually making me cry wtf
i will never understand why i find this song so sad because of a fictional character losing his best friend that shit hits harder than any truck would, idk why. i hope Nominal Dingus keeps growing, and live well thanks for this emotional song
*Tails: If these readings are accurate, he’s here, I found him, I just hope I’m not to late…*
Unused: *Dont worry bud. You weren’t :)*
*Tails:* (Tears starts to fall down his cheeks) You were gone for so long that I thought you never come back. But now your are here…. and I wanted to say…..:. that I’m sorry….. for not *being there* for you….

You just don't stop with these masterpieces. Nice work as always, nominal!
Hey, Nominal, no clue if you'll see this, but thank you for dedicating so much of your time to music.
Unused is such a good character. Love him.
This is one of my favorites, keep up the good work!!
What if Unused is just looking for a friend and Tails is just misjudging him?
*please sonic… don’t ever leave me like that again, I… that cliff… please, promise me…*

Loving these songs Nominal
Amazing song! Looks like ol’ Unused is rethinking his intentions.
NOMINAL NO YOU CAN'T FUCKING FUCKIG MAKE ME CRY LIKE THIS NO PLEA-
Imagine this:
Unused Vs Majin Vs Sonic.exe
Instrumental? this sounds amazing.
Im charting this when i learn how
That is a breathtaking background
Some type of idea from this is that this is some time after FWF, when Majin somehow got exe away from them without getting rid of him (judging from Lost to time existing, but Old Habits May Disprove this) and everything is mostly fine, except probably the mental health of honestly all the souls, tho for the video its focusing on tails. Surface, Reason to Hide, and This Song seems to focus on the aftermath of the events in sonic.exe, while also introducing a new character, Unused.
You should watch the Q&a stream
Every Single Song Nominal Has Made is Connected To Each another.
Starting from FWF to Bitter Reunion (Including Scizomania)
With the Exception of Destiny (The Majin Song)
After FWF Majin Defeats Xeno Sealing "Most" of his Power Away, Reviving Robotnik, Knuckles and Tails
With Schizomania (Phantasm Remix) Being an Prequel to The Vs Sonic.exe Timeline, Fleetway Knew And Warned Sonic that Something (Xeno) Is Trying to Take Over His Body (Unlike OG vs Sonic.exe Xeno, Here he is using his Fanon Lore of bring a Demon Possessing Sonic and Fleetway in the Process)
Then Comes "Think" But Majin and Unused Sing it
Then Comes Otherside (Knuckles v Lord X) In This Universe, Lord X Is a Good Person and Didn't Kill anyone, Just Wanting INFINITE FUN btw, He and Majin are Best Friends That's why Knuckles wasn't Scared of X.
Then Comes Old Habits Where Xeno Confronts Eggboi (Alive) BUT Xeno Uses his illusionary Magic to Make it Seem Eggboi is Dead, With Sonic (Real) Starts Breaking Free With Majin Interrupting Xeno
With Lost To Time, Being the Sequel to Old Habits Where Sonic Starts Breaking Free from Xeno's Control Since Majin is doing an Amazing Job of Beating Xeno.
At the same exact Time Lost My Mind is Happening alongside Lost to Time
Where Sonic is Confronting "Xain" The Essence of Xeno Formed in Sonic's Mind Confronting Sonic, This is Why Sonic is Seen Breaking free in Lost to Time and This is Why LTT and LMM End Exactly the Same
Then Comes Suface (Unused v Majin)
And Finally this
I need all the nominal lore
so there's xenophanes he bad four way fracture happens (triple trouble but with majin) we now cut inside sonics mind where lost my mind takes place where Xain (mental manisfestacion of xeno) tortures Sonic having to endure his friends dying over and over again, then Majin gets a call where Unused tells him to "go to labyrinth zone" where they meet resulting in a trap where he's trapped in water. Then Unused goes and meets a suicidal tails who is sad by Sonic's death wich gives him a redemption arc where he betraws his fellow imposter tails doll and becomes friends with Majin until the great reboot happens
@@Shelling_rug thanks
@@needlemz3467 and thats just a small summary not going into backstory's
@@Shelling_rug that's what I need
Ngl I think a Dead knuckles vs Xenophanes song would be sick it could be called "Friend and Foe" or smth
But Knuckles Is Alive, Maybe if Xeno Uses His Illusion Magic
@@RacketEPIC Hmm true
This sounds like some emotional song that would be used in those 2012 slide shows on UA-cam, kinda gives some kind if nostalgic feel, ez favorites.
That person who guessed who the characters were, props to them
I'm curious as to what Eggman and Knux's reactions would be after not seeing "sonic" for so long.
Would Eggman recognize this facade? I doubt he would fall for it
I could honestly see a later song having all of them together Tails Eggman Knuckles and unused them going along together or whatever and then later on in the song just a conversation between Eggman and unused with Eggman being like "I know you're not him I'm keeping my eye on you"
....I am crying. That was beautiful - ...... That was just.... Amazing
I wanna cry but knowing that at least in my eyes they met back and where comforting each other. I hate that life is like this.
IM CRYING AND STAKING RN KQXNIWCDNWD-
THATS WAS SO SAD
@@bambonyoutube1768 agreed
@Tails Gaming nope. It genuinely made me cry. The music was very nice and idk if this is the right word. But soft. It was peaceful and calming
So Tails saw Unused and no longer decided to attempt suicide and comforts him, along with Unused questioning his life actions?
I can't imagine how depressing that sounds.
Such a beautiful song...I think I'm tearing up.. *sniff*
To bad I missed the premier but I'll see if I can next time this is an amazing song and I'm glad I get to hear it
You know who is actually technically unused? The beta sonic, Named Mr needlemouse, I feel like if he were pitted against revie's sonic, It'd sorta fit.
He was made specifically to replace Revies EXE.
@@8-bitskull ...He was made in a 1991 sketch showing him as a possible player character for a game Sega would work on. The rest is history. Mr needlemouse, I mean.
@@skullofglory10 I'm saying the character in the video, is an exe made to replace Revies EXE (Faker) since Revie is a horrendous human being.
@@8-bitskull yo I don't really want revies character to go despite her faults I hope someone can take her characters from her like the owner of sonic.exes was taken
@@8-bitskull That may not exactly be the case, Many sonic "Fakes" Have existed. I just don't see how every sonic copy is a copying Revie's version. I think what I'm saying is I'm having a hard time understanding why the creation would be as bad as the creator.
Did anyone release the beginning is just a deeper version of the Reason to Hide beginning?
BTW Unused is the best character ever, I would love if Sega actually used him as a replacement for Sonic if he ever gets captured, the others can keep pertending it's Sonic without it actually be Sonic, and when the save the real deal, it'll be better for all of em.
Overall 20/10.
wow this is so sweet and the background music is just so amazing haha, geeze idk how you do it but wow this is great and its so calm too
Song goes hard, keep it up my man
I feel like Unused IS good, he probably has a good heart and everything, it’s just that he’s likely seen as bad due to people not understanding or knowing his circumstances.
Also I wanna know where Unused comes from, or if he’s just an original creepypasta sonic by you (referring to Nominal). Can’t find any creepypastas or anything at all about him online other than the songs and posts from you (again, referring to Nominal). Could I have the source for him if there is any?
Well he was only just made so he’d be the replacement of Faker, or Revies EXE, but he seems to be similar to Faker in some ways, like the ability to mimic Sonic to a degree.
@@abstrex2216 he seems less "IM GOING TO TEAR YOUR FACE OFF" than faker.
goes hard, as always.
Reason to hide tails and unused this really got me thinking unused is reason to hide tail’s sonic but undead idk I mean unused eyes are white so it has me thinking.
“I was… about to jump…” *Unused does a good* Oh shit looks like the killer just get a new friend. (And some morality)
I really wanna hear more of Teen tails

Unused in this song be like: “ *WHAT AM I!?!?!?!?* “
Faker sonic or idk
wait, what was unused gonna do? was he gonna try to kill tails?
and is he just gonna be tails' emotional support hedgehog until they manage to get EXE out of sonic?
Tails was gonna kill him self and unused started to question his own intentions
@@Aruug_ now they best buds for life until they get the true sonic bacc
If I'm correct, Tails was going to off himself, then Unused stopped him from doing that and they started to talk (as you can see in the dialogue in the description. Then Unused started to think about his feelings, and I think that's it. If there's anything wrong or that I forgot, reply so that I can edit the comment.
Unused was probably gonna kill Tails, but then when he realised he stopped Tails from offing himself, he reconsidered what he should do.
Unused was there to kill tails but he saw tails in his lowest point, Unused questions his own intentions, he is not evil he has been misguided by tails doll as seen in impostor syndrome
This was a very interesting song I really wonder what unused's original intention was going to be
It's kinda like a reason to hide remix when tails sings it and when I saw the title I thought it meant tails and a unused song
can we get an instrumental of this?
this is heavenly
I love how this all is started from creepy pasta and sonic getting bullying
sonic is can't be happy in every fnf mod LoL
Can I get a quick synopsis of Unused? He seems cool
He's wasn't used
@@gittattle so true
@@Frog101_Real he also is (maybe?) friends with majin?
@@ipplays8617 not at all, Majin doesn't trust him at all, if you read the dialogue In Majin vs unused, Majin Is basically threatening unused
@@ipplays8617 in the newest song where unused battles with tails doll it's said that unused got rid of majin (and doubts that decision before that song) so i doubt they're friends

Unused Look so sad in his icon
Nice song ❤
Now comes the problem. Eggman 100% is gonna know unused isnt sonic i mean eggman has been fighting sonic for years! He's gonna know. But i do feel like eggman wouldnt tell tails because he knows tails is in a bad place right now. Knuckles mkght notice and would start throwing hands 100% but now comes the questions of boyfriend and majin. We dont know if boyfriend is gonna come back but he's at least gonna hear that "sonic" is back when he talks with tails. But he's dumb so that means no problems there but majin could be the thing that changes how tails interacts with unused. Majin seems to *hate* unused with all of his being. And i dont think stoping tails from jumping is gonna make him start being buddy buddy with unused. Maybe make him hate unused less jut majin would still be suspicious of unused.
Majin Does Hate Unused But; He Would First Check Unised's Intentions
Really good song!
actually pog
Hearing this song makes me realize, that even though tails' voice is deeper, it somehow still sounds like Tails. It's the kinda voice when I hear it, I'm like "That's Tails".
me knowing that the tails icon is from reason to hide: AH YES ANOTHER GOOD SONG.
Lore. Is nice.
i bet theres going to be a second part to this uh? is ther going to be a part wher we see ther icons and the song starts because i mean in this one it feels like it was just the starting beginning song and i the lore or not even the lore the story is being told he is going to be amazing ik of it and i like hows its going
Wait, so seeing this is the same timeline as Reason to Hide, what happened to Sonic?
I think it was implied that xenophanes took over Sonic’s body. So, he’s currently trapped within his own body by xenophanes.
@@LoganV3535 this is a different sonic called unused, not xeno

Eggman is infact alive, old habits was just xenophane using illusionary powers to make eggman think he was dead, but he could still feel his hands. Like they were there, just couldn't be seen.
@@thefaerianemissary0247 true but if you were to cut your hands off your brain still feels like your hands are still there until days later but i agree
@@Prestfon12345 yeah that is true, but nominal has said himself on the stream that old habits is just xeno using illusionary powers as that's quite literally all he can do at this point thanks to losing most his potential after Four way fracture.
