The Return of Doctor Robotnik
Chapter One
Then:
Sonic hidden in the small space along with his small firend, his little brother - Tails. Sonic put his finger to his lips, Tails nodded his head. They stay hidden as an army of worker bots march past them. Robots that uses to be like them, Mobians.
Once they were sure the worker bots were gone, they crept out of the space. They had completed the mission to sabotage Doctor Robotniks latest machine. "We need to get back to Knothole." Said Sonic quietly, Tails nodded his head silently - Tails hated going to Robotropolis, Sonic hated to go as well, but they had to stop Doctor Robotnik. Doctor Robotnik destroy their childhood, their families. Because of him they life in hiding in the middle of the forest. They couldn't let him ruin any more lives.
Now
Sonic walked into the workshop, Tails wasn't tinkering with one of his inventions like normal. Sonic push the door to an small kitchen to find the fox sitting in the corner.
"Hi Buddy." Said Sonic lightly.
Tails looked up "Hey."
Sonic sat down next to Tails "Amy and Cream want to throw you an surprise birthday party- I'll talk them out of it." Tails look at the floor. "I know you hate your birthday Tails..."
"Do you think my parents abandoned me?" Asked Tails in an small voice. "They saw my two tails and didn't want me?"
Sonic shook his head at once. "No bro, they wouldn't of done that. They were good people - they loved you."
Tails shook his head "They didn't even know me. If they didn't abandoned me, what happen to them? They weren't Roboticized... I've seen the records."
The mystery of what happen to Tails parents was never solved. Tails never knew them. They most likely died during the first dark days of Doctor Robotnik's take over - the day Tails was born. Tails knew this, but it was all guess work, Tails thinks very scientifically - logically that guess work wasn't enough. "One day we will find out." Said Sonic, not really believing it himself.
"I know you hate this day too." Said Tails
"What happen to my parents..." Sonic began. He paused for an moment. He parents like so many others were roboticized, "It wasn't fair, it was horrible. I don't like to think of them as mindless robots. And they wouldn't want me think about them in that way. They would want me to live my life to the full, don't let them win. Your parents would want the same for you too. They would want you to be happy..."
Tails was silently crying "Sonic, I can't do that. Not today."
"Tomorrow then." Said Sonic "Tomorrow we see our friends. Today it be just me and you. Chilli Dogs, ice cream and some good films... What do you think? Tails nodded his head slowly "Tails, you can't punish yourself for what over people did. You can't punish yourself just because you were born on the day he took over. I told you that loads of times and I know Sally did too..."
"You never talk about Sally anymore."
Sonic stood up "Come on bro, lets cook son popcorn and watch an movie."
Tails had fallen asleep while watching an movie. Sonic covered him with an blanket and went to step outside to watch the sunset. He wasn't sure how long he was they before he heard someone call his name.
Sonic turned away from the sunset ge was watching to see Knuckles walking up towards him. "Keep your voice down Knucklehead , Tails is sleeping."
Knuckle walked closer to Sonic "How is he?"
"Same as he normally is on this day." Said Sonic "What do you want? Its not like you to check up on Tails."
Knuckles paused for an moment probably trying to keep him temper under control. "Whatever you may think of me, I do care about Tails."
"But that's not the reason you are here, is it?" Sonic wasn't in the mood for games.
Knuckles looked down at the floor "No. Eggman is up to something. We need you and Tails to help find out what."
Sonic paused for an moment "Why today of all days..."
"Eggman not stupid. He knows what today is. He thinks we won't fight back. He think we won't be thinking straight. It's mind games Sonic. Go and wake Tails up we needs his brains, and the Tornado."
"I'm an wake." Sonic and Knuckled jumped. Tails stood behind them "We better get going."
"How long have you been there?" Asked Sonic shooked
"Not long." Said Tails rubbing his hands together walking towards the Tornado. "Where are we going?"
"The Egg Carrier." Said Knuckles following Tails from behind.
Sonic followed them "What the hells going on Knuckles. What is Eggman planning? Why are we heading to the air fortress? And were are you getting this information from?" Knuckles trun around and face Sonic. "What actually do you want us to do?"
"Rouge warn me Eggnan planning something big tonight." Growled Knuckles "She say if he succeeded with his plan then we are all doomed. We need to find out what's going on and stop it before he gets too far."
"This could just be mind games." Said Sonic at once.
"And it might not be." Augured Knuckles "They're one way to find out."
Knuckles had an point. Not that Sonic was going to tell him that "Who else is coming?" Asked Sonic
"I've just told you two." Said Knuckles "We don't have time to find the others. Not if we want to go quickly and without drawing unwanted attention to ourselves."
Sonic nodded his head slowly. "Come on, we've got work to do."
Tails climbed into the crop pit of the Tornado and started to run the engine, Sonic and Knuckles jump on to the wings. "Ready?" Asked Tails
"Aye, aye Captain." Said Sonic. Then the three of them were off into the sky.
