Prologue
It started out as just an experiment, a virus that would be the cure for cancer. Unfortunately this wasn't the cure for cancer; rather it would start a hell the likes of which no one would have ever dreamed of. No one knows how the virus was released, but what is known is where, it was released in the Hive, an underground research facility run but he pharmaceutical enterprise Umbrella. The artificial intelligence unit that ran the Hive took over immediately, sealing of any exits to try and keep the biohazard underground, where it wouldn't get out…it failed.
A thirteen-year-old fox with two tails was exploring a mansion in Raccoon City. He had moved to the city with his family and friends. Now he didn't LIVE in the mansion but as a bored teenager he had to find something to do. He was in the foyer of the mansion as he looked around he thought, someone had money to spend, then he heard something…it sounded metallic, like a latch or something. But he shrugged it off.
"Probably nothing important." Tails said to himself.
He walked up the set of stairs and walked through a random door, soon he found himself in a bedroom with a large mirror, he looked at his reflection. He had golden hair, and sky blue eyes. He was wearing tan baggy cargo pants, a dark red t-shirt and black skater shoes.
"Damn I look sexy." he said in a playful manner, making poses in the mirror, "Probably a woman living here, guys usually don't buy mirrors like this."
He stopped looking at the mirror, he turned around and left the bedroom. He turned down a hallway and found a series of steps, he made his way down, his curiosity growing with each step. When he reached the bottom he found a door and tentatively opened it. It gave out an eerie creaking noise.
He then found himself in a gigantic study, on one the wall was covered with bookshelves and filled with books, on the other side there was a row of large windows, all open and had white window hangings. Damn! Someone likes to read books...it's a nice room though. He thought He continued to look around and then let out a yelp of pain, and looked down. A small rat (the animal, not the mobian) had bitten his ankle. He saw the blood start to flow out, he looked at the rat…it's eyes were white and bloodshot, it creeped out the fox but he ignored it. Little did he know he just let loose one of the carriers of the T-Virus, and had just gotten infected.
But apparently someone found out, because out of nowhere a group of men in white haz-mat suits came out of nowhere and grabbed the fox.
"What the hell are you doing?! Look I'm sorry I snuck in but I didn't take anything!" Tails started to get scared, he didn't want to be sent home. His brother Sonic thought he was at the mall, he started to kick and yell, but before he could protest further someone hit him on the back of the head, Tails' head rolled further and he lost consciousness. When he woke up he found himself in a glass room, he looked around and saw he was wearing a white shirt and white pants. Soon he heard a voice say,
"Remarkable, over four hours and absolutely no sign of the virus taking over! Take a sample of his blood!" a door opened and other person in a white suit rushed forward and to Tails' surprise asked politely,
"Would you give me your arm for a moment please?"
Tails didn't know what to do he didn't think their would be a nice scientist, there never was one in all the movies he's seen, usually some crazy old bastard. He thought but he extended his arm, letting the person take the sample; the person took out a needle with a small vial attached to it, and took a sample of his blood Tails winced at the pain of the needle but it left as soon as it came. The person took out a bandage to put on the small wound but to their surprise the wound healed before their eyes. Tails just stared, what the hell? he thought, and the person in the suit whispered,
"Incredible" and started to walked out, then Tails finally remembered to ask,
"Sir, ma'am who ever you are where am I?" the person turned around,
"Your in an underground facility named the Hive, one of the area where the infected haven't reached."
"Infected?" Infected? Infected of what? Tails thought, the person nodded,
"You were also infected but for some reason you didn't lose humanity, we're going to figure out why." Tails was mind was going haywire, What made me different? he thought, but he didn't dwell on it,
"When you figure out will you tell me?" Tails asked hopeful, the person in the suit looked around to see if anyone was listening in, then he turned around and gave the slightest of nods. Tails mouthed 'thank you' and sat down. A couple of hours later a white suit came in, grabbed him and pulled him up.
"Hey! What's your problem man!" The last time this happened Tails was scared but now he was just pissed off. He started kicking and flailing but he couldn't protest any longer because he felt a needle enter his arm, he winced at the sensation of the needle and the liquid flowing into his arm. Then he felt woozy and then lost consciousness. Next thing he knew he felt wet…and he was enveloped in darkness, he opened his eyes to be greeted by the familiar blurriness one would get by opening their eyes under water. He realized he had a pipe lodged down his throat giving him precious oxygen and other things needed by the body. But that didn't matter what did matter what did matter was that he realized he was in a glass cube, like an aquarium.
When he looked at the glass he saw streaks of red…blood. He quickly reared a fist back and thrust it forward, easily shattering the glass, when he got out pulled out the tube, and other things sensors pushed into his arms and legs. He was soaking wet and freezing cold. He looked around and saw bodies, blood, and…a turned on computer? Huh? He thought, his curiosity was peaked and he walked over to it.
He explored it's content for a while until he saw a video labeled, "Tails Watch This" he clicked it and watched as a screen popped up with a raccoon on it. It started to talk,
"Tails, you asked me to tell you if we figured out why you weren't taken over, well it's because instead your blood bonded with the virus, giving you the regeneration abilities you saw, along with super speed and strength, we BELIEVE you may have been given psychic powers as well but that's just an assumption. But enough of that, listen you've been in that glass chamber for at least two weeks, I can't tell you for sure because as I speak the infected are fighting to get in here and eat us. Yes I said EAT, the virus has turned the once peaceful humans and mobians into zombies." Zombies? You have Got to be kidding me! he yelled in his mind.
He stopped talking to look at what Tails presumed was the door, "Listen, you're the answer to stop all of this, but you need to get out of here, the only way left is through the mansion you were taken from and that's full of zombies. There are clothes, weapons and anything else you'd need in the closet on your right. And in case you were wondering how I knew your name was the ID in your wallet." Tails started to walk away but the video raccoon said,
"Wait! I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything…and give those zombies hell for me."
Tails nodded,
"Great," he said "I'm the cure for all this shit, and I have super powers. But I gotta admit if I didn't have the chance to die I'd think it was cool."
He stopped looking at the screen and walked into the closet, he saw his old clothes, also he found guns, knives, clothes and other weapons. He quickly pulled on the clothes and suited up, he grabbed two 5mm handguns, a standard pump gauge shot gun, which he strapped to his back, two long "Rambo" knives and some ammo. After he got suited up he looked around for a door, then heard a little girl's voice,
"That's the door you're looking for." Tails' head whipped around to see a young human girl, with long black hair with pale skin and white clothes, pointing to a door.
"Who are you?" Tails questioned, watch her be a computer. he bet himself,
"I am the artificial intelligence in control of this facility. I'm going to help you out of here because you are the key to the survival of the bio hazard." the girl responded, Tails nodded, called it! He internally cheered,
"Yeah, my blood I know." Tails responded,The girl nodded she then said,
"The infected have left the Hive, but they are still in the mansion." Tails nodded he walked towards the elevator and the door opened,
"Thanks a ton…I guess." Tails started to feel uneasy, The girl just nodded and said,
"Good luck." somehow that made Tails feel better,
Tails smiled and to his shock the hologram did also. He stepped onto the elevator and the door shut, taking him out of the Hive and into the mansion. He found himself back in the study, he pulled out his knives and stood waiting…he didn't hear anything or see anything so he slowly walked forward, he walked through the door and found himself in the foyer, and stopped. Then to his horror he saw a zombie leaning down on the ground eating something…it slowly turned around, it's eyes white and it's face covered in blood. This zombie was a human, it started to run forward, to tails it looked as if it was going in slow motion, he then took one of his knives and cut it's throat with it. The zombie stopped and just stood there, a red line appearing on the front of his neck, blood starting to flow from it.
The zombie fell down with a thud and didn't move, but blood continued to flow from the cut. Tails looked at the poor person the zombie had been feeding on, a young rabbit girl, not even six years old. This made Tails' blood begin to boil; he walked over to the zombie and crushed its head with his foot. There was a satisfying CRUNCH and Tails looked down to see blood, bits of skull shards, and, Tails assumed was once a brain.
"Fucking bastard." Tails cursed, he heard moaning and looked up at the top of the stairs, zombies were starting to come after him.
"Oh shit!" he yelled,
Knowing he didn't have the time or the ammo to waste he ran towards the front door and kicked it as hard as he could, which in turn knocked the door off it's giant metal hinges. Then he ran as fast as possible through the woods and back to the city.
"Please let their be survivors, please let their be survivors. Please GOD let their be survivors!"
Twice he had to stop to take care of a couple of zombies but it only took a minute for each, seeing as there wasn't a whole mob of them. When he got back to the city he stopped and stared, bits of humans and mobians littered the streets, blood was painted across buildings, cars, and the ground.
Tails stared on in horror at the scene, How the hell did this happen?! He mentally screamed, then heard gunfire; tearing his gaze away from the horrific scene he ran towards the source of the noise, he snuck through an alley to see a mob of zombies running towards…someone. Not wanting to risk anything, Tails quickly scaled a two-story building and watched, as a familiar blue hedgehog fired down the zombies.
The numbers of the zombie fell until there weren't any left. Tails let out a sigh of relief,
"Thank God!" he exclaimed,
but as Sonic turned around and walked back towards a group of people Tails hadn't noticed until now, a final zombie walked out of an alley and started to run towards Sonic, and someone yelled,
"Sonic!" but before the zombie got to Sonic or Sonic had his gun raised Tails jumped off the building, I hope this works, he said in his mind, he swiftly kicked the zombie in the face on his way down the zombie's head was turned to the right by the force of the kick, then Tails quickly pulled out one of his handguns and fired, shooting the zombie in between the eyes. Sweet...was Tails' thought.
Blood flew from the hole the bullet made, and the zombie fell to the ground, Sonic stared at the zombie for a moment and then looked at his savior, he saw the familiar set of tails then slowly asked,
"Tails?" said fox turned around with a grin and asked,
"What? Thought I bit the dust?" Sonic stared for a moment then started to laugh, while tears fell down his face,
"I thought you were infected!" Tails didn't say anything; I mean what could he say? 'Yeah I'm infected but my blood is the way to stop all of this?' yeah, let's not say that.
While the two were hugging the others walked forward all giving them hugs, (except a black hedgehog) Tails looked at the people with Sonic, there was Amy, Knuckles, Sally, Bunnie, a purple cat, a white bat, a silver hedgehog, and a black hedgehog.
"So who are these people?" Tails asked, Sally looked at the others and pointed them out,
"Well the bat is Rouge, the silver hedgehog is Silver, the cat is Blaze and…and the grumpy guy is Shadow." Tails just nodded his head, but he saw movement behind them. Another zombie, this one was a cat, was running towards them, about to lunge at Blaze, Tails screamed,
"NO!" and to his shock it stopped, as if it was hit by an invisible wall. Whoa! Was everyone's thought the others looked at the zombie, and then to Tails, whose pupils dilated to the point to where you could barely see any blue in them. Tails flashed back to what that raccoon on the video said something about psychic powers, I wonder… Tails thought, he then jerked his head forward, and the a wave went out, breaking apart the road and the zombie went flying, backwards then, Tails pulled out his handgun and fired, the zombie's head exploded in a shower of blood, brains, and skull shards. Then fell to the ground and stayed there.
The others were frozen stiff, they looked at Tails who was grinning, that was cool…he thought, but the others didn't think so, Sonic then asked in a low voice,
"Tails…how did you do that?" Tails stared for a moment and grew nervous,
"Well, uh, um you see…" Sonic stared and said,
"Tails answer me now damn it! How the HELL did you do that?! How did you jump off a two story building and live?! What the FUCK happened?!"
Tails stared, he was in shock at what Sonic had just said, all the years Tails was Sonic's brother and he never cussed at him, then with great reluctance he said,
"Because…because I'm infected, I was captured by the Umbrella Corporation, they're the reasons for the virus…they figured out that my blood is resistant to the virus. It won't turn me into them, it just…it just made me stronger" while he was explaining he had lowered his eyes to the floor, refusing to meet their gaze. He then slowly raised his head and looked at their faces, they were all blank, except for one emotion…fear. Then he looked at Sonic and his face held another thing besides fear…remorse.
"Tails…I'm sorry." But before Tails could do anything Sonic had pulled out a handgun and shot Tails in the heart. Tails' chest was pushed back from the force of the gun, a small bit of blood and shot out. With a shaking hand Tails raised two fingers towards the hole, he lifted them to see blood on them, Tails' eyes widened, he started to shake even more and looked at Sonic with absolute shock on his face, then Sonic said,
"But we can't risk it." Tails stopped shaking and then fell to the ground. Sonic stared at the body expecting to come back to life. When it didn't he tore his gaze from it and looked at the others, "We've got to get out of here, we need to find vehicles, supplies and if we can, survivors got it?" they all nodded but Shadow said,
"Why? So you can shoot them?" his voice was full of disgust, Sonic grew angry,
"He said he was infected! I did it so we could all survive!" Shadow ran forward and picked him up by the scruff of the neck,
"And what were you telling us a week ago?! He's my brother, you said! I hope he's alive, you said! If he's alive we'll all get the hell out of here as a family, you said! And you put a fucken bullet in his heart!" Shadow punched him in the face, Sonic fell to the ground, he raised a hand to his nose and saw blood on it, and he quickly wiped the blood from his nose and face.
No one said anything, they all walked away from the body of their friend and brother to find the supplies they needed, except Shadow. He stayed for a moment and then said,
"I'm sorry." Then he walked away.
A few hours' later Tails' eyes fluttered open, he looked around and noticed it was daylight; he looked down at the hole in his shirt and saw no bullet hole,
"He shot me! He FUCKING shot me!"
Saying he was shocked or mad was an understatement. He was pissed he continued to sit there and tried to calm down. When he did he said,
"Okay, Sonic wants me dead, but that ain't going to happen. But I don't want him to recognize me if I see him again, being shot in the heart and living…that will go over well."
He looked back at his two tails, he knew they'd know it was him if they saw his tails what to do…then an idea struck him he then wrapped his two tails together, sufficiently making one large tail. Tails nodded and said,
"Well…I'm going to get the hell out of here." He couldn't get over the fact that Sonic; his brother had put a bullet in his heart. But he quickly forgot about it, what was on his mind at the moment was what he did to kill the zombie. I'm going to learn how to use it. He thought, his face suddenly broke into a grin, but not a happy one, an insane and bloodthirsty one, this is going to be fun! Tails took one last look at the bloody mess of the zombie. Oh yeah...real fun!
He got up and started to explore the city for supplies he would need to survive. And he was going to survive, no matter what. Tails, the loving brother of Sonic the Hedgehog had died, the world's most efficient and deadliest hunter had just been born.
Okay, there's the prologue…I know it had a lot for a prologue but, the rest of the story is going to take place a few years from now. And I wanted to say I got the idea for Tails wrapping his tails together to form one big one and the part of him being 'dead' from the author Dark Side of the World and his story Bloodtail: The Demon Hunter if you haven't read it check it out, because it's awesome!
